Daily Review With Clay and Buck - Jun 18 2025

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 C

He critiques the Washington Post’s coverage of the Supreme Court ruling, calling it biased and misleading.

She discusses the psychological factors behind gender dysphoria and the long-term negative outcomes of medical transitions. Other callers share personal stories and concerns about the cultural and political climate surrounding transgender youth. Clay concludes the hour by previewing upcoming topics, including the Iran-Israel conflict, and interviews scheduled for later in the show with Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Senator Bill Cassidy. He also touches briefly on sports headlines, including the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup victory, the NBA Finals, and Caitlin Clark’s performance in the WNBA. This hour is a must-listen for those interested in Supreme Court decisions, transgender youth legislation, parental rights, and conservative perspectives on gender identity issues. It blends legal analysis, cultural commentary, and listener engagement, all framed within the broader political landscape of 2025.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the latest political developments, national security concerns, and cultural debates shaping America under the leadership of President Donald Trump. 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.

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. Clay also addresses internal GOP debates, noting that figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene may oppose military intervention, but emphasizes that disagreement within a political movement is healthy and essential to democracy. He passionately defends the First Amendment, criticizing past censorship by platforms like YouTube and Facebook, especially regarding interviews with President Trump and Senator Rand Paul. In a cultural commentary segment, Clay revisits his viral moment on CNN involving the phrase “First Amendment and boobs,” sparking a humorous yet pointed discussion on free speech, media bias, and language censorship. He also responds to criticism of his remarks about Representative Ilhan Omar, reiterating his belief that those who claim America is one of the worst countries should consider relocating if they have the means.
