Mary Margaret Olihan is at the Supreme Court for the biggest transgender case in American history. She's joined by the Daily Wire's own Mary Margaret O'Donnell to discuss the case, which centers around Tennessee's law banning the use of gender reassignment surgery on minors.
00:07:39.600I think on this issue, this trans issue is a winning issue for conservatives.
00:07:44.840The vast majority of people know that men can't become women.
00:07:47.620And even if they're willing to play along for whatever reason, the overwhelming majority of people really don't want to castrate kids to accommodate the fantasies of perverts and utopians.
00:07:56.820So I feel pretty good about it going in, but obviously we haven't heard the oral arguments yet.
00:08:03.680And you're so right, Michael, in that most Americans are so averse to this topic in general.
00:08:09.400You know, it gets people going like nothing else.
00:08:11.680I'll have Uber drivers who don't want to identify as Republican, but then this topic comes up and they just get so upset and irate.
00:08:19.380I have a colleague who told me that her father never cares about politics, but he was motivated to go to the polls specifically because of this issue.
00:08:28.380And of course, we already know from kind of the postmortem of the election how many Americans were so motivated to vote for Trump based on this issue alone.
00:08:36.280So it really is the sleeper issue of 2024.
00:08:41.060And I think that more and more Americans are waking up to the craziness of this issue because at the end of the day, and this is what we wrote in our story yesterday about Chase Strangio.
00:08:50.320At the end of the day, this is a lawyer, a woman who identifies as a man going to the United States Supreme Court and saying, I think that kids should be allowed to transition.
00:09:00.920And I'm willing to tell the entire world that and stake my reputation on it as someone who has removed my own breasts and undergone surgery and hormones myself.
00:09:10.880And just that alone is one of the most wild things that you could possibly say.
00:09:15.180And it's become semi-commonplace in our culture.
00:09:18.060So, you know, all of that is to say this is a very unusual circumstances that we've been told is common and is normal.
00:09:27.260We've been told that we should love it and embrace it.
00:09:29.080And the American people have really pushed back on that.
00:10:18.640And I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.
00:10:23.880That was just one of many Instagram posts that Britney Spears has been making in recent days.
00:10:30.420I guess she's been making them for months at this point.
00:10:32.720But she's gone on a flurry of them, this time to say that she's five years old and moving to Mexico.
00:10:38.180Just to tie this back in with the story we were just mentioning, there is no difference between Britney Spears saying that she is five years old and a man saying that he's a woman.
00:10:55.360And most people can look at Britney Spears and say that she's obviously got to screw loose and in deep need of psychiatric and maybe spiritual care.
00:11:04.220I think most people know that about the transvestites, too.
00:11:06.920They're just afraid to say it for fear of being canceled because our pervert political elite insists on this ideology as the logical conclusion of their rather illogical first principles, which is that they have to maximize individual autonomy and independence.
00:12:23.400Maybe the way to actually encourage her to make use of her freedom is to put some restrictions on her behavior so she doesn't destroy herself.
00:12:31.820And maybe that would apply to other confused people in our society, too.
00:12:34.980Maybe people who are suffering from obvious severe mental illness or psychological or spiritual confusion, maybe they need to be educated and corrected so that they can actually be truly free.
00:12:48.860Just a thought that may or may not pertain to the case of the Supreme Court today.
00:12:53.440Speaking of liberal women, speaking of women, rather, with a screw loose, we turn to a prominent liberal woman, Taylor Lorenz, who wants people to wear masks on airplanes five years after COVID.
00:13:09.300Taylor Lorenz, pretty prominent left-wing journalist who gets into all sorts of fights with right-wing journalists.
00:13:17.800Planning a COVID-safe book launch took months and thousands of my own dollars, ensuring testing, outdoor space, far-UV lights, and a litany of other precautions.
00:13:30.460Meanwhile, you dumb F-U-C-K-S are out raw-dogging the air and spewing your disease-laden breath all over our elderly neighbors.
00:13:59.400If you are a homeowner like me, when is the last time you checked on the title to your home?
00:14:03.660That is the legal document that shows that you own it.
00:14:06.360If the answer is never, you need to know about a fast-growing crime the FBI calls house stealing.
00:14:10.700I was recently shown how easy this scam is to pull off, and I'll tell you, it's shocking.
00:14:14.880The one document, one-page document, that is called a quit-claim deed.
00:14:19.140Criminals are forging these documents by filling them out with your information, signing it with a fake signature, stamping it with a notary seal that you can get online for $20, and then filing them with county officials.
00:14:37.680So they take out loans using your home as collateral, then they disappear, leaving you with a financial and legal nightmare.
00:14:43.340You can protect yourself from this truly despicable fraud right now with triple lock protection from home title lock.
00:14:49.980The first step is to check on your home's title to make sure that you are not already a victim.
00:14:53.960You can get a free title history report and a 30-day free trial of triple lock protection today by going to hometitlelock.com using promo code NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S, or clicking on the link in the description.
00:15:06.460That is hometitlelock.com, promo code NOLS.
00:15:32.180And you don't need to take my word for it.
00:15:34.000There are many scientific sources that attest to this fact, up to and including Columbia University, which wrote,
00:15:40.020American adults who identify as politically liberal have long reported lower levels of happiness and psychological well-being than conservatives, a trend that mental health experts suspect is at least partly explained by liberals' tendency to spend more time worrying about stress-inducing topics like racial justice, income inequality, gun violence, and climate change.
00:15:59.580All manner of topics that they're worried about.
00:16:02.900But let's just go to that last one, the big one, climate change.
00:17:40.140It gets down to he who will have his life must lose it.
00:17:47.440You know, there are these kinds of paradoxes.
00:17:49.120If you try to preserve your life by wearing ten more face masks and by sacrificing your sacrifices to the sun god of climate change and by whatever, you know, injecting yourself with some nonsense so you can live another five years, you're going to lose eventually.
00:18:06.160And there's no escaping that fact in the order of nature.
00:18:09.800So it's going to give you a great deal of angst and neurosis and anxiety because you know you're going to, this is, this is something that is on the mind of man from the moment that we become reasonable and conscious.
00:18:33.360Or you can just pretend the problem doesn't exist and it's just going to eat at you and you're going to do crazier and crazier things like wear masks on an airplane five years after the pandemic or, you know, spend your nights awake in cold sweats because you're so worried about climate change.
00:18:50.480Speaking of places that require people to wear masks on airplanes, South Korea has declared martial law.
00:18:57.280South Korea, first time since 1980, has declared martial law.
00:19:04.240The president of South Korea has done it.
00:19:09.140The parliament, which has a ton of libs in it, has opposed it.
00:19:14.000Wu Won-sik, a member of the opposition Liberal Democratic Party, said the people should rest easy.
00:19:20.600The National Assembly will defend democracy with the people.
00:19:23.600However, the president of South Korea has said that there is clear anti-state behavior aimed at inciting rebellion and it's paralyzed state affairs and turned the National Assembly into a den of criminals.
00:19:34.940And he said that these libs are colluding with the North Koreans, with the communists, who are really just a vassal state of China, the Chinese communists.
00:19:45.100So the president of South Korea said that he will eliminate the anti-state forces and restore the country to normalcy as quickly as possible.
00:19:55.060On top of that, Reuters is reporting that, quote, strikes, work stoppages, and rallies that incite social chaos are also prohibited.
00:20:03.280Doctors have now famously engaged in a walkout from work.
00:20:07.100And the president has ordered them to return to their job within 48 hours.
00:20:10.780Kind of reminds me of Ronald Reagan ordering the air traffic controllers to return to their jobs in 48 hours or they'd lose their jobs.
00:20:17.860The current president of North Korea is a conservative guy.
00:20:24.240And so this opposition from the liberal progressive Democrats has been intense.
00:20:30.260Kind of reminds us what happens when a conservative takes over in America and the liberal Democrats gin up all sorts of anti-state forces to try to shut down the country and to try to make deals with our enemies.
00:21:19.860I need to figure out which side is which before I figure out what I think about that.
00:21:24.580And it was a joke because people will think it's hypocritical to support a right-winger declaring martial law if the left-wingers are trying to overthrow the government, but that it would be bad if a left-winger declared martial law, for instance.
00:21:36.580It just means different people have different standards and different ends of government, and their substantive differences are real and legitimate.
00:21:42.960Also a reminder, I know this is going to be unpopular among some idealists and maybe libertarians.
00:21:49.580Martial law is not only just, but also necessary in certain cases.
00:21:56.100But we have exercised martial law in parts of America many, many times, well over a dozen times in American history.
00:22:02.440President Abraham Lincoln, widely regarded as one of the greatest American presidents, he himself instituted martial law.
00:22:07.640It happens, and the reason for that is that when your country faces an existential threat, a true existential threat, not Joe Biden saying that the mean orange mango Mussolini is an existential threat, but a genuine existential threat, then the preservation of the country becomes paramount.
00:22:23.660It supersedes the demands of local law, state law, federal law, even the Constitution by definition, by the very internal logic of law.
00:22:33.700But what does it mean for the rest of the world?
00:22:35.340It means things are going to spin out of control a lot more before January 20th.
00:22:40.740Things are going to get worse before they get better.
00:22:43.680First, though, Roast Sparks are a game changer for guys who need a little extra help in the boudoir.

00:23:51.780Speaking of authoritarian government, a man has been escorted from the Edison, New Jersey, town council meeting.
00:33:00.400It is an honor to announce that I will be traveling to Paris, France, on Saturday to attend the reopening of the magnificent and historic Notre Dame Cathedral,
00:33:08.820which has been fully restored after a devastating fire five years ago.
00:33:13.060This restoration, which a lot of people feared was going to turn Notre Dame de Paris into like a holiday inn or something,
00:33:22.180it looks like they did a good job at it.
00:38:44.760I didn't think the liberals could be owned any more than they already were, but they are.
00:38:47.420Speaking of critiques of Americans, Ronnie Cheng from The Daily Show has just explained the Trump victory by calling most Americans effing morons.
00:39:02.760Covering the election live in America was both a dream come true as a political historian junkie, U.S. political history junkie.
00:39:11.480And it was also like watching a car slowly crash into the country.
00:39:15.840And there's not much you can do about it at that point other than make dumb jokes about it.
00:41:42.140Most places in the world, if I tried to go there and I didn't provide a really strong reason as to why I should be there, they'd kick me out.
00:42:50.860If I went to Saudi Arabia right now and I called the Saudi royal family a bunch of effing morons, I would not remain in Saudi Arabia very long.
00:43:00.260My head would probably not remain on my body for very long.
00:43:04.260Speaking of the culture war, Kamala Harris' deputy campaign manager has just come out with an obvious fact that is nevertheless a stunning admission coming from the left.
00:43:16.920Namely, the left is losing the culture war.
00:43:18.940And like for the masculinity piece of it, men don't like people that apologize.
00:43:25.840I don't know what age bracket, but it's called like standing on business.
00:43:59.540The libs are, there's no question they're losing the culture war.
00:44:02.840They're losing, think about the people who shifted in this election.
00:44:05.740A lot of it has been talked about, the one in five black guys who voted for Trump.
00:44:10.460Shocking number given the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote for all of our lifetimes.
00:44:15.140The 46% of Hispanics, the majority of married women, the almost half of women 45 and over, 44% of women under the age of 45, 40% of women under the age of 30.
00:45:02.340Why are people tuning all of those out?
00:45:03.920I was speaking to a journalist from a liberal outlet the other day, and he asked me, he said, Michael, he was acknowledging that the left is losing the culture war.
00:45:11.940He said, why, why, why can't the left do what you guys have done at the Daily Wire?
00:45:17.260Why can't the left do what, what the alternative media have done, have their own media?
