Now, this is breaking news and what most people are calling a major legal setback for the trans community. The Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban boys from playing in girls sports. But there is a shocking twist that I find that most people are not even talking about. So I'm going to bring it to your attention in today's video. Let's start here. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Idaho and West Virginia laws, the state laws now, that ban transgender athletes from participating on female sports teams. So the challenges against those laws have now prevailed.

Don't know what the breakdown was. Some thought it might beat 9-0. Others were suggesting 7-2. We'll await that and bring in our legal panel, Jonathan Turley, Brett Tolman, former federal prosecutor and Carrie Severino, former law clerk for Justice Thomas and president of JCPN. Okay, Professor Turley, the Supreme Court rules in favor of those laws. Break it down.

This is what we anticipated after the oral argument. The justice has appeared to view this as a matter left to the states. This is welcome news from many in the country. This is an issue that polls almost at 70% in favor of keeping sports to biological genders. So based on all of the rulings over the past 48 hours, you'd have to argue this is great news, probably one of the biggest wins for America and our society, particularly our culture, that the Supreme Court upheld this, meaning if states want to ban boys playing and girl sports, they have every right to do so.

That's really what the foundation here of this case was all about. But let's go to what I find to be the most interesting reaction from MSDNC. It's almost as if they're finally learning for the very first time that a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. It seems as if what the court has said today is that by a lot, sex is what the parameter is. This is how we determine what is okay and what is not. It is okay, according to them, to separate between the two biological sexes, although it is not okay in the workplace, for example, to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. And my guess is, not having read the opinions yet, my guess is that there are going to be some justices who say,

I don't understand that differentiation. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either constitutionally or in terms of some of the statute's that issue. I don't know what she doesn't understand about why they came to this conclusion. I mean, why could a boy who biologically, generally speaking, majority of the time, will be able to overpower a female? I don't understand why they don't understand that. Okay. And then to go a step further, some of these people are actually in support of ensuring that trans can compete at the elite level against women. And so then they go even a step further with this nonsense.

I said it and I'll say it again. The best thing that the trans communities should have done, which they failed to do, was not advocate for trans athletes to play in female sports. Because remember, you don't hear trans athletes playing in boys' sports. I wonder why that is. Anyways, the best thing they could have done was said, hey, we want to create our own league, our trans league, co-ed league. And if they had done that, I don't think we'd even be in this position.

But let's go to CNN because, as I told you, they are suggesting this is going to make it very difficult for people to figure this out now. Almost everyone I talked to in this conversation, which is your panelist, it's incredibly fraud, and it's political and it's supercharged. It's got everything, right? Most people, even if they want to ban transgender female athletes, talk about getting kids to play sports. You think of your kids and grandkids, all of our kids, nieces, nephews, the girl next door, the boy next door that you wave at as they load their sports bag in the car. You don't want to stop that from happening. And the leaders on this issue by and large in the sports world know that. Okay.

Do you see where she's going? She wants me and you to feel bad that when we tell someone who might be trans, that they can't play in a girls' sports league because they are a boy. So the guilt, the problem, the burden, it's on us. I don't know why that is even a point that is being made, but it gets worse. They do not want to tell a kid five, six, seven years old, who may believe that they are not what their biological sex is, that they can't play sports. You want them to play sports.

You want to make sure they're included for their safe. their health, their physical health, their mental health, etc. This is now the needle that the sports world is going to thread to make sure they do not exclude children well before the elite level from the opportunity to learn those life lessons playing sports. Okay, so this isn't going to prevent them from learning life lessons. And I would argue one of the lessons they're clearly missing out on is understanding who they really are, spiritually, mentally, physically. And, you know, listen, I'm biased on this issue. Clearly, I don't buy into trans ideology. I'm sure a lot of people who watch my content, who do probably call me a bigot. I'm willing to accept that because I don't believe this is the way people are bored. These are ideas that they are exposed to from a young age.

And then when they get confused, which is a natural process of your sexual identity, people feed into that confusion, manipulate them into believing. Yeah, even though you were born a boy, you can't be a girl now. It's craziness. Let's go to stage still, because if you guys didn't notice, we did an interview with her about a week ago. She spoke on this very issue. Take a listen. Let's ask ourselves why. Why is it that men are infiltrating women's sports versus women going into men's sports? Because everybody knows that women cannot physically compete in the majority of sports because God made us differently. and not better or worse differently and beautifully.

So I think Dave Chappelle in one of his bits, you probably have seen that bit where he says, okay, fine, this is going to go both ways. That means when LeBron James decides tomorrow that he wants to be a woman, he is a woman, that's how he identifies, right? Then you're not to allow him to play in the WNBA, where he's going to proceed to score 865 points tonight.

And we're going to be fine with that, aren't we? Perfect point that she was making there because we've already seen this play out with the Olympics. And come to find out, the Olympics had to change their policy at the end of the day to say, hey, unless you have these chromosomes, you will not be participating in a girl sport or in a male sport. Bottom line. And I think that's the best approach because there's no confusion there. Now, if you guys do want to know what the confusion still will be after this ruling, well, here it is. the Supreme Court ruled that Virginia from boys playing in girl sports. That is true. But they didn't say nationwide that boys are banned from playing in girls sports. They said it's up to the states to come up with that policy. So what happens when California says, well, you know what? We want boys to play in girls sports. What will the Supreme Court do then? All right. Now, for my folks out there who love AI, you're going to love this. Most people have been using Claude, like it's just a smarter Google search.

That's like buying a Ferrari and never taking it out of first gear. But the truth is this, Claude isn't just a chatbot anymore. People are using it to build apps, create presentations, automate workflows, generate content, and do work that used to require an entire team. This is why we've been using Cloud here on the show heavily for months. And that's why I want to tell you about the Cloud AI mastery workshop happening this weekend. Yes, it's a live two-day event, and they made it completely free for my audience. In this workshop, you'll learn how to use Cloud for deep research,

build custom AI agents, create dashboards, and presentations, automate repetitive tasks, generate images and videos, and even get hands-on with cloud code. I know that's a lot, but here's the bottom line. Over 10 million people have attended with a 4.9 star trust pilot rating and you'll be learning from experts who worked at Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Navidia. Plus, you'll get three free bonuses, 50 secret cloud prompts, a complete AI prompt library, and a personalized AI toolkit builder.

The transgender community, it was, last year, it was, they were not recognized to have some

sort of specific class that the Constitution recognized, like race, like religion, like gender. So I think this is just a continuation of that. It'd be interesting to really dig through the opinion, though, to see if it can be challenged when states do, in fact, allow men to compete in women's sports and whether those women can challenge it under a violation of equal protection. So this is likely to really spur on other states to follow suit in terms of their own laws. So the more we get into this ruling, the more we realize it's not what it looks like on the surface. The Supreme Court said Idaho and West Virginia, if you want to ban boys from playing and girls sports, you can do that because transgender

is not their own class. Okay. We have boy. and we have girl in the United States of America. That's how the Supreme Court sees it. So transgender is not going to get any special rights in their eyes. But because that's as far as they went, they didn't address what the elephant in the room is going to be, which is if California says, you know what, we still want boys to play in girls' sports.

Well, can someone actually stop them from doing that at this point? No. According to that Supreme Court ruling, they can't do it. But the Supreme Court today, six to three decision, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh said states, school districts can draw lines based on biological sex when it comes to sports teams in schools. And so that is a setback for Becky. 29 states that have similar laws as West Virginia will continue to stand. And I will note, Kira, that 21 states don't have bans on transgender athletes.

Those are unaffected by this decision, but certainly a blow to that transgender community and student athletes on this last day of Pride Month. So we are going to have a country that definitely will become more divided on this issue because you're going to have states that will double down and say, we're going to ban boys from playing in gross sports. And then you're going to have states that essentially are going to react to this ruling and say, well, we're going to make sure that boys can play in girls sports. You guys following what I'm saying? Okay, let's go one step further.

Here's ABC News losing their mind over this ruling. There is not a speech that goes by where the president does not talk about transgender athletes. This is clearly a big win for him today. Yeah, Kira, rarely does a day go by here at the White House when the president doesn't rail against the participation of transgendered female athletes in girls and women's sports. The president really leaning in to this national debate. He feels this is a winning issue for him politically, and this is a win for him. The White House, in fact, has already taken to social media, posting, in their words, quote,

from now on women's sports will only be for women. Well, I wonder how long that's going to last for, because once he leaves office and it's a Democrat who comes in the power, best believe they will try again. They tried under the Biden administration and got struck down by the Supreme Court. He literally went to Title IX, the language within the law, and tried to modify to ensure trans athletes could compete. Well, that didn't work out for him. Now, Riley Gaines posted this. Justice Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor ruled against women having equal protection under the law,

liberal woman yet again proved to be the biggest hurdle women face. Okay. I can go down a whole rant about liberal women, in my opinion. I don't even know if it's really liberal women. I think it's more left this far left, progressive women who have this misplaced set of guilt and believe they are the saviors of our culture or society. But really what they are are walking examples of suicidal empathy. That's exactly who they are.

They are buying into policies that literally are suicidal to our very way of existing in our country. I know that might sound extreme, but just think about it. they already accomplished same-sex marriage, which most people in America can reason with. But because of that, they graduated to trans ideology. And so once you're here at trans ideology, what's next? Trans-ideology will sooner or later be recognized just in the same way that same-sex marriages are recognized. You might not believe me now, but it's not really that far away if you think about it. In fact, I'll prove it to you.

Listen to the CBS hosts acknowledging this very point. And the court said in its syllabus, this is still subject to scientific and medical debate. All of these issues related to transgenderism. But right now, the court is saying states have a valid and rational interest to put some limits, some protections for safety and competitive fairness in the legal code. But the court is acknowledging something that we should remind ourselves. This is an evolving debate. Right now, it is in a very definite hesitant towards transgender.

rights space. I would just remind our audience, there was a time in our country in the late 1990s, nearly 2000s, when many states, most states in our countries constitutionally banned same-sex marriage. We are in a different place on that issue now. That debate and all the human rights issues underneath that evolved over time. I'm not predicting that for transgenderism. So he's not predicting it. He's only suggesting that that might actually play out. And you know what, I'm actually with him on this. Because once you remove one, brick, you can remove two bricks and then remove three bricks, and before you know what, the wall is gone. This is why conservatism in America is important because we should be conserving

principles that has allowed our culture and society to flourish. I would argue that trans ideology is not going to allow our society to flourish. I may be a bigot on this, and I'm sure people will look at me that way. I'm willing to accept that because of my Christian faith. I just don't buy into this. I think it's gender dysphoria. I think it's a mental illness. And I think people profit off of this. And I think it absolutely encourages a victim mindset. And so there's no return on investment with any of this. But I'm saying that is something that our country went through an issue that seemed to be in the late 1990s, nearly 2000 settled. And it became unsettled because the Supreme Court and a cultural reevaluation of what same-sex marriage means

in this country. We might see that in transgender space. We're not seeing it now. And the court is giving states latitude to impose some limits to protect those engaged in sports right now from a perceived threat of competitive imbalance or unfairness in that space. So remember, there's 21 states, California would be one of them, that, you know, they have no ban on this. So again, this puts it on the states, but this also puts it on the American people. The bottom line is this is our country.

And a part of the very fundamental explanation of a constitutional republic is you're going to have states who go left and you're going to have states who go right on almost every single issue that you can think of. Now, we hope in our heart of hearts that the Supreme Court will step in and provide clear guardrails, but there are times where that doesn't really happen. And they allow the states to pick and choose which direction they're going to go. This is one of those issues. So, because it is your country, that means you have every right to move if you want to. You have every right to protest this. You have every right to support it. But, but, you have every right to support it. But don't feel like you are being held back from anything, but that's the way it's going to be framed.

So if a person's part of the trans community, they may say this is a major blow to them, but this is like the abortion issue. Technically, it's not. You want to go get an abortion. You're just going to have to move. If you want to compete in a trans school or you want to compete as a trans athlete in girls' sports, you're just going to have to go to a different high school in a different state if it means that much to you. So I think the bottom line here, guys, is that the Supreme Court, once again, is not getting too deep into our cultural issues. And they're just doing enough to say that they've done something.

But they don't want to be the reason why trans athletes are banned in this country. That's the way that I see it. And you let me know how you see it.
