SCOTUS Transgender Ruling Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is away on business. Clay opens the hour by discussing his time in the Capitol with his son, who is interning for TN Senator Bill Hagerty. He then pivots to a major breaking news story: a landmark 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Tennessee’s law banning gender transition procedures for minors. This decision, which Clay strongly supports, becomes the central focus of the hour. Clay emphasizes the importance of protecting children from irreversible medical procedures such as puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries. He argues that minors are not mature enough to make life-altering decisions and compares the issue to existing legal restrictions on tattoos, alcohol, and car rentals for young people. He criticizes what he describes as the “woke ideology” influencing medical professionals and parents, and calls for federal legislation to ban gender transition surgeries for minors nationwide. Throughout the hour, Clay repeatedly refers to the President Donald Trump, highlighting how the Trump administration has addressed transgender issues and how the media frames these debates. He critiques the Washington Post’s coverage of the Supreme Court ruling, calling it biased and misleading. Nothing Wrong with Disagreement Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis opens the hour with a vivid description of the aesthetic upgrades President Trump has made to the White House, including new flagpoles and a gold-embellished Oval Office, as well as plans for an outdoor dining patio inspired by Mar-a-Lago. A major focus of this hour is the Supreme Court’s landmark decision affirming Tennessee’s right to restrict gender transition surgeries for minors. Clay previews an upcoming interview with Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, who successfully argued the case, and emphasizes the widespread parental support for such protections. The show then shifts to a critical foreign policy discussion on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Clay analyzes polling data from CNN showing overwhelming bipartisan agreement—across Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—that Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. He highlights that nearly 70% of Republican voters support U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, aligning with President Trump’s America First doctrine. Clay defends the rationality behind Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons from a geopolitical standpoint, while strongly advocating for decisive U.S. action to prevent it. TN AG Jonathan Skrmetti on his Supreme Court Win Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and timely discussion centered on major legal, political, and cultural developments shaping America today. Clay Travis, hosting solo while Buck Sexton attends the Cannes Advertising Festival, opens the hour with a deep dive into a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld Tennessee’s law restricting gender transition surgeries for minors. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti joins the program to break down the 6-3 decision, emphasizing the legal, medical, and cultural implications of the ruling. Skrmetti highlights the flawed science behind pediatric gender treatments, the growing international skepticism of such procedures, and the potential for future civil lawsuits from detransitioners. The conversation also explores the broader national impact of the ruling, including how states may handle cross-border medical procedures and the legal complexities surrounding parental rights and medical consent. Skrmetti underscores the importance of evidence-based policymaking over ideological influence, and the need for compassion and clarity in addressing gender dysphoria in youth. Sen. Bill Cassidy on the Big Beautiful Bill Clay welcomes U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana to discuss the progress of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a legislative package aimed at reforming student loans, increasing access to technical education, and reducing federal spending. Cassidy shares insights on bipartisan negotiations, the importance of long-term fiscal responsibility, and his optimism for passing meaningful reforms. The senator also weighs in on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, Israel, and national security, praising the administration’s firm stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In a lighter segment, Clay engages with listener feedback on language used during the show, sparking a humorous exchange about politically correct terminology and free speech. He also shares a viral clip from comedian Whitney Cummings, who humorously reflects on how motherhood shifted her political views, resonating with many listeners navigating similar life changes.
