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. Later in the hour, 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. The hour wraps with a call from a longtime member of the gay community, who offers a personal perspective on the transgender debate, emphasizing the rarity of true gender dysphoria and expressing concern over the current cultural climate surrounding children and gender identity.
