Clay Travis: "This is ridiculous, I think, to try to strip away gender from the Boy Scouts ... The idea of trying to force these gender issues on young children, I think, is a failure of American society and frankly western civilization right now."

CLAY TRAVIS (GUEST): Have the Girl Scouts changed their name? Maybe I missed it. I've got three boys and we had them in Boy Scouts. I think that's good and appropriate for young kids, and I think there should be a Boy Scouts. I think there should be a Girl Scouts, quite fond of their cookies that they sell every spring, by the way, even though the prices have gone up a lot thanks to the Biden inflation and the Biden economics.

But this is ridiculous, I think, to try to strip away gender from the Boy Scouts. What they're really doing here is saying, "Oh, if you're a girl who identifies as a boy, you should able to be in the Boy Scouts." Gender is real. Doctors don't get this wrong. There's boys, there are girls, if you're after 18 years old, you decide you want to identify as something different, I guess if that makes you happier, you have the right to pursue that. But the idea of trying to force these gender issues on young children, I think, is a failure of American society and frankly western civilization right now because it's not just America where this insanity has taken root, although I will note England is starting to do a little bit better job of pushing back on this than the U.S. is, and I hope we follow.
