Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Welcome back into the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by the

governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt governor. Thanks for being with us. Appreciate you.

Oh, absolutely great to be on your show today. So one thing that's gotten a lot of attention from

certainly conservatives in recent weeks and months are the revelations about

trans gender surgery on minors. Sometimes as young as 12 or 13 years old, you are leaving an

effort in your state to stop this practice, at least in the hospital system. Tell us what's going

on here. Yeah, well, first off, we were totally shocked. I mean, every governor, you know,

citizens around the country, we need to find out what's happening because we found out there were

these, you know, gender transition surgeries, which are really, you know, sterilizing minors and

doing permanent surgeries to, you know, 12, 13, 14-year-olds. And so we put a stop to it. We blocked

funding. I call the legislature to stop that, you know, statewide, makes sure we put a ban on that.

I don't think taxpayers want this to happen in their state. I mean, especially minors. This is

really troubling to me. These are healthy children. And you should not permanently do something,

you know, or allow that to be done in your state. And so I think it's pretty, pretty common sense to us.

Yeah, I think it's 100% governor. This is Clay. I appreciate you coming on with us. The analogy I

would draw here is you can't get a tattoo to your 18, but we're letting gender reassignment surgeries

happen for 14 or 15-year-olds. I mean, it's madness. What kind of opposition if any aligned

up against this? And what did the numbers look like in Oklahoma in terms of the politicians who

supported you? You know, you had it's so ridiculous that we're so politicized, but every single

Democrat, I believe, maybe two Democrats in our legislature voted against it all of them voted

for it. All the rest of Democrats voted against this bill that the legislature put on my desk.
