SCOTUS Delivers Major Blow to Trump’s Immigration Agenda but BIG Win for Women's Sports · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The United States Supreme Court has issued one of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: most consequential immigration rulings in decades, bringing an end to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a legal battle over President Donald Trump's effort, which so
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: many supported, to end automatic birthright citizenship for certain children
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that are born in the United States of America. And
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: if you're logical, you understand why the President was trying
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to do this. Clearly, it was being abused on a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: level that honestly none of us, I think can truly understand.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: To understand why this case mattered so much, you got
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to go back to what President Trump's very first day
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in office was actually all about. That is when President
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Trump signed an executive order and it declared that children
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: born in the United States of America will no longer
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: automatically receive US citizenship if their parents were in the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: country illegally or were only here temporarily, such as on
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a student, work or tourist visa. The administration argued that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the Constitution had been interpreted incorrectly for more than a century.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration's legal argument centered on just a few
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: words in the Fourteenth Amendment, subject to the jurisdiction of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the United States. The administration argued before the Supreme Court
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that those words mean more than simply being born on
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: American soil. And what Trump's position was is that if look,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: if someone's parents are not permanently and fully subject to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: US political jurisdiction because they are here unlawfully or only temporarily,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: then their children should not be automatically American citizens if
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they're born here now. Administration lawyers also argue that the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: landmark nineteen eighty nine Supreme Court decision in the United
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: States versus Longkim arc had been interpreted too broadly for generations.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They maintained that the Constitution never intended birthright citizenship to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: apply to everyone born in America, regardless of their parents'
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: legal status.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Now, the left and of.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Course others that disagree with the president, challenged the executive
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: order within days. Lawsuits were filed across the country by
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: multiple states immigrant advocacy organizations and families who argue that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: President Trump's order well directly violated. They said, the plain
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: language of the Fourteenth Amendment, and over one hundred and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: twenty five years a Supreme Court president jumped to action,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and then you had several federal district judge that bocked
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the executive order before it can even take a fact. Now, look,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the President wanted this fight. Let's be clear. I'm sure
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he was told by lawyers that this was an uphill battle.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But they wanted this to be a real discussion, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted the American people to have a grand debate
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: over this loophole where countless people come into America knowing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that they're just going to have a child here so
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: they can become an American citizen. And that's why the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: President took action on day one. This was a fight
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he was looking for. Now, these nationwide injunctions became an
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: important part of the.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Legal fight as well.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: As these several federal judges jumped in instantly, and initially,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration wasn't simply asking the Supreme Court to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: decide whether birthright citizenship itself was constitutional. It also argued
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that individual federal district judges should not have the power
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to stop presidential policies nationwide with a single injunction. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: there were multiple fights happening here. Now, that procedural issue
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: reached the Supreme Court first and then generated a ton
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of debate over the power of the federal court system. Eventually,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the Court agreed to hear the constitutional question directly, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that was a simple question. Can a president, by executive
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: order limit birthright citizenship? Well, fast forward to the oral arguments.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So the Sir General defended thestration's position, arguing that the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: citizenship clause has been misunderstood for generations and that the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Constitution should be interpreted according to its original meaning. Now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: several justices questioned both sides extensively, including conservative members of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Court who pressed the Trump administration about how it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: interpretation fit with more than a century a precedent that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was established by the longkim Art decision. Well, now we
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: know what the Supreme Court has decided to do. In
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a six to three ruling, the Court rejected and this
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was not surprising President Trump's executive order. And how that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the Fourteenth Amendment continues to guarantee birthright citizenship to virtually
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: everyone born on American soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Now,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Chief Justice John Roberts actually wrote for the majority and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: wrote that opinion.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Now, the Court concluded that that long standing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Precedent, especially the eighteen ninety eight Long kim Arc decision,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: controls the issue, and that the constitution citizenship cause cannot
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: be narrowed through executive action from the president. Now, the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: majority held that if birthright citizenship is ever going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: be changed, and it can be changed, I want to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: make that very clear, it would require either a constitutional
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: amendment or some other lawful constitutional mechanism, not a presidential
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: executive order.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The dissent came from Justice Clarence Thomas, Samuel Leito, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Neil Gorshich. They argue that the Court should have interpreted
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: quote subject to the jurisdiction more narrowly in question whether
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: long standing president had correctly analyzed that constitutional phrase. The
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: practical effort of today's ruling is straightforward. Now the executive
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: order cannot be enforced. That means children born in the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: United States of America will continue to receive citizenship under
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the same rules, and that those rules that have existed
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for generations will not change. Now, for President Trump, this
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: represents one of the biggest judicial defeats of his second term,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: especially on the immigration agenda. But to be clear, this
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is not surprising at all. Those in the White House
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: were expecting more than likely that he was going to lose,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and they knew that from day one. So why have
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the fight because this is an issue worth fighting over,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and it's an issue worth talking about. It's an issue
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: worth even saying, do we need to make a big change?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And how do you get that?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Debate started by doing exactly what the Trump administration did.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It highlights this important constitutional reality. Now, the Supreme Court
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: did not simply decide whether it agreed with President Trump's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: immigration policy. Instead, the majority concluded that the Constitution self
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: events a president from making this change through executive authority alone.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: They didn't say it can't happen.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: President Trump responded by calling now on Congress, which was
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: all part of the plan to pursue legislative solutions on immigration,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: while continuing to argue that the current interpretation of birthright
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: citizenship actually encourages, significantly encourages illegal immigrants to jump in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: on birth tourism.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Now, birth tourism is simple.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You want to have a child in America, so their
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: American citizen, and then they become an anchor and then bam,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you and your family have access to the United States
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of America. In fact, they actually sell birther tourism around
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the world. That's how popular it is. Now under this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: new decision, Congress itself would also face constitutional limits if
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it attempted to contradict the Court's interpretation of the Fourteenth
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Amendment as well. Now the case will almost certainly become
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: one of the defining constitutional decisions of the past decade.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Supporters of the ruling reaffirms a constitutional guarantee that existed
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: since the Fourteenth Amendment and preserves more than a century
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of Supreme Court president But if you're Donald Trump, you're
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: arguing the Court missed an opportunity to revisit the meaning
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of the citizenship cause in the light of modern immigration
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: law and policy.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And let's be clear, it's a lot easier.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: To travel the United States of America now than it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was when the founding fathers are writing the Constitution now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Either way, the legal question has now been answered.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: For now.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has ruled that birthright citizenship remains protected
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: under the Fourteenth Amendment, and President Trump's executive order attempting
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to restrict it cannot take effect. But this may be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a long term gain for the President and conservatives, because
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: now we're having a national conversation about an extremely important issue.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court ruled that states can finally ban transgendered
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: athletes from women's in girls' sports, and this is the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: moment when feminists should be celebrating. So why are they not,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Because it was conservatives and Presidentald Trump that actually pushed
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the issue. After years of lawsuits, years of political battles,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: emotional testimony from female athletes, and then a national debate
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that dominated the headlines, the United States Supreme Court ruled
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that states can in fact protect girls and women's sports
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: by limiting female athlete competitions to biological females, and it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was a six' to three. Decision the court upheld the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: laws From idaho And West, virginia concluding they do not
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: violate Either title nine or The. Constitution, now for millions Of,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: americans this isn't simply about.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Politics this is about.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Fairness it's about preserve the very reason women's sports exist
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in the first. Place and For President Donald, trump this
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: represents one of the defining victories of his second. Term
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: female athletes coming, out one of, them who played volleyball
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: At San Jose, state saying this On Fox News channel
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: about the.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: RULING i just had to practice with.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: HIM i wasn't even playing against him in a real,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: game so at the bare, minimum at LEAST i got
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to know his tendencies SO i could keep myself a
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: little bit. Safer but even, then it's Like i'm still
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: getting slammed in at my. BODY i bruises on my
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: legs from getting hit with a. Ball like these other
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: teams don't know what they're walking. Into and that's even
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: worse than WHAT i had to go through going into
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: practice every single day trying to keep myself. Safe but
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: these other student athletes at other institutions going into it
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: not even knowing what they're walking.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Into and you listen to, that and that is exactly
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: why the president wanted to move forward and act. Now
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: as a quick, reminder twenty nine states restrict trans athletes
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in girls', sports and of course every radical extreme LOW
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: lgbtq plus.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Organization immediately jumped into.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Sue there was a study also that came out that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two thousand trans high school athletes
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is the total they claim in THE. US a study
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: also found that one percent of high school athletes are quote,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: trans and THE, ncaa After President Donald trump got into, office.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Banned trans athletes in girls'.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Sports you can see exactly why this decision was such
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a big. Deal Now President, trump he, said this represents
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: one of the defining victories of his second. Term and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you may ask, yourself how do we even get. Here,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: well to understand why today was such a major, moment
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you literally have to go back fifty years back in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy, Two congress Passed title, nine and the goal
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: was really, straightforward women and girls deserve equal opportunities in,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: education including. Athletics, again it was actually about education, first
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: not just. Athletics and Before title, nine many schools barely
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: funded girls. Sports scholarships didn't, exist facilities were often, inferior
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: they were a joke if they even had them at,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: all and many girls simply didn't have the chance to.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Compete title nine changed all of, that and over the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: next fifty, years participation girls and women's athletics. Exploded you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have millions of young women that earned scholarships giving them
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a chance to go to. College women's college sports then
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: flourished professional leagues and, expanded and then The olympic opportunities multiplied.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Exponentially you literally had an entire generation of female athletes
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that benefited from protections designed specifically for, Them, yes for,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: women not for. Men, now in recent, years you saw
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the change happen before your very. Eyes in the early twenty,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: twenties you had this massive mandate that you must allow
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: any man who claims their women to be able to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: compete with women and use their locker rooms and their.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Facilities that is.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Insane you then witnessed people that had done their entire
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: life focusing on a, sport not when or the records
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that were beaten by men claiming they were. Women, now
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the simple question, was, look should biological males who identify
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: as female be allowed to compete in women's. Sports this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is when you would think the feminist would stand up
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and said protect women's, Sports but the liberals didn't do.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It in, fact they advocated for, this and then that
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: question has now moved to the entire. Country some female
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: athletes said they were losing, championships and the data backed it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Up then you had the scholarship opportunities that were. Disappearing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that was another. Problem then you had podium finishes where
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: men were standing at the top during women's, sports and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: then the roster spots that were being filled by men
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: instead of women in women's. Sports, now there were many
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: others that raised concerns about. Safety you heard one of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: them just a moment. Ago they said the contact, sports
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it was, insane and then integrity of sex separated. Competition,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: supporters of, course on the radical left of transgendered, inclusion
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: argued that transgendered athletes deserved equal opportunities to participate and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that blanket bans discriminate on the basis of gender. Identity the, country,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: well it was. Divided if you're, conservative you probably were
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: on the side of, sanity and if you were a radical,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: liberal you were probably on the side of. Insanity and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that is Where Donald trump came. In throughout his presidential,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: CAMPAIGNS i said that as a plural word, Campaigns Donald
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: trump repeatedly promised that if he was, elected he would
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: protect women's sports at all. Costs, now many political observers
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: initially dismissed the issue as nothing but, symbolic but after
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: returning to, office the president showed he was joking and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he made it one of his very first. Priorities In
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: february of twenty twenty, Five trump signed the executive order
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Titled Keeping Men out Of Women's. Sports you can't be
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: any clearer than, That and the order was very, clear
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: directing federal agencies to Interpret title nine protections based on biological,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: sex and then warned that schools receiving federal funding could
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: face consequences if they allowed biological males to compete in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: girls and women's. Sports that executive order immediately became a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: major political. Fight supporters called it common, sense the left
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and the media called it. Discriminatory and this again was
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: another example of The president, SAYING i am willing to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: have this, fight and let's go to The Supreme. Court,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: now more than half of the states had already enacted
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: laws in this country addressing transgender participation school, athletics and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that's at the stage for the major constitutional. Showdown, eventually
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: there were two k that reached The Supreme. Court one Involved,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: idaho the other Involved West. VIRGINIA i was actually in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the oral arguments at The Supreme court for these. Cases,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: now both states argued they had a legitimate interest in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: preserving fairness and safety in girls athletics by limiting female
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: sports to biological. Males the challengers argued that these laws
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Violated title nine and The Equal Protection. Clause, now during
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: those oral, arguments several conservative justices questioned house schools could
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: preserve sex based athletics if biological sex could not be
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: used as an eligibility. Standard, well today The court answered that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Question The Supreme court ruled that states may maintain those
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: protections for girls and women's. Sports Justice Brett kavanaugh wrote
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: for the, majority concluding that states may base eligibility for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: women's school sports on biological, sex and that doing so
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is consistent With title nine and The constitution as.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Well, now this.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Is a historic. Moment the ruling, says this decision preserves
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the original purpose Of title, nine and if you're a,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: woman you should be. Thrilled they argue women's sports were
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: created because of biological. Differences, yes there are real differences
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: between men and, women and that maintaining the separate female
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: competitions actually protects competitive fairness as well as athletic opportunities
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: through scholarships and countless other. Things they also argue the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: ruling provides legal clarity now for the states and schools
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and coaches and athletic organizations after years of uncertainty and.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Lawsuits the decision is also likely to influence ongoing litigation
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: other states with similar. Laws and, again this is nothing
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: but a Leadership trump. Victory even though these cases involve state.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Laws President trump made the issue a central part of its,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: platform he campaigned on, it he signed an executive order on,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it and his administration supported The states defending these laws
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: before The Supreme. Court, now after the, Ruling President trump
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: celebrated the, decision calling it a big. Win supporters say
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: today's outcome reflex years a political effort to reshape How
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: total nine is interpreted and also. Enforced, now it's important
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: also to understand that Many americans are going to fight
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: back on. This opponents are going to argue transiender students
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: should have the opportunity to participate in sports consistent with
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: their gender, identity and you can bet they're going to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: try any way they can to force men on women in.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Sports all, RIGHT i want to take a. MOMENT i
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: want to tell you about a company THAT i use every.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Day in, Fact i've been using them for, years and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: now more than, ever it's time that we stand with
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: companies that fight for our. Values if you think wireless

  Speaker 1: worst among. Us there is a deeply alarming development that

  Speaker 1: is unfolding out Of. Iran and this is just showing
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: you how tough it is to negotiate With iran right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: now because there's clearly a civil war that is taking
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: place within the. Country, now what is happening right now
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: is some of the country's most influential hard line.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Clerics now these are the radical, clerics the.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Extremists they have come out and publicly now called for
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the assassination of Present Donald.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Trump that's not.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: All they've also called for the assassination of The Israeli
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister benjamin net And. Yahoo now the statements have
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: intensified the already soaring tensions in The Middle east and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: has raised fresh concerns among intelligence and counter terrorism officials
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: about the potential for politically or religiously motivated. Violence, now
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: this is also a perfect example of why it has
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: been so hard to get a deal done because while
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you're negotiating with one part Of iran's, leadership all of
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a sudden you find out that the other side inside
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the country is literally trying to undo it in real.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Time it's the reason why you see some people that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: are trying to actually attack and others are trying to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: actually get a deal, done and then you really don't
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: even know half the time who the other side really
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: is if you're on the outside looking. In the religious
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: clerics have made it known they're angry and they don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: like any deal being done now right. Now according to multiple,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: reports members Of iran's cleric establishment actually issued a declaration
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: describing the killing Of trump and Net nyahoo as a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: religious duty for anyone capable of carrying it. Out the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: declaration reportedly Characterizes trump as the quote Criminal american president
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and Net yahoo as the wicked Prime minister quote. Unquote
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: now this is language that has drawn widespread international, condination
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't really hold any weight In iran among the,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: religious well radical. Clerics, now these statements are significant because
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they come from figures with actually considerable religious influence Inside
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: iran's political. System, well not every speaks for The iranian,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: government the country's religious leadership and political.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Leadership while they are, deeply, deeply deeply.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Intertwined, analysts a rhetoric from senior clerics can carry sancial
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: weight among hardline, supporters even if it does not constitute
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: an official military. Order sometimes the clerics can be even
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: more powerful than a military order based on. History, now
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the calls reportedly come amid intensified internal, fighting a civil
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: war divisions inside Of iran following the doubt of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Former Supreme Leader, kolamani and ongoing negotiations between The iranian
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: officials who are being undermined by the clerics and The
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: United states Of. America, now some factions Within iran they
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: claim they favored diplomacy in hopes of easing the economic.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Pressure others this would be the clerics, included argue that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: compromise represents weakness and instead they're demanding retaliation against perceived
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: enemies and even.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: War now the.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Latest statements also revive memories of one of the most
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: infamous religious decrees in modern, history the nineteen eighty ninetwah
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: issued against an Author Solman rusty after publication of The Satanic. Versus,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: now the decree remained influential for decades and was followed
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: by multiple violent, attacks including the twenty twenty two stabbing
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that Left rusty severely. Injured because of that, history security
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: experts generally take modern assassination fatwah, seriously even if they're
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: not formal government quote unquote. Policy. Now counter terrorism analysts
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: have also warned that the greatest concern is often not
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a direct operation ordered by the reigning, government but the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: possibility that an individual or a sympathizer or an extremists
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: actually interprets this rhetoric as encouragement to act. Independently throughout,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: history inflammatory calls from influential ideological and religious leaders have
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: inspired so called loan actors or lone wolves without even
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: direct operational, control to be inspired because of The, internet
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: something they, read or something they see ON. Tv The
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: United states has long maintained heightened security Around President trump
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: because of the previous threats attribute To iranian linked. Actors
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: yes they tried to kill the. President federal authorities have
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: repeatedly stated over the past several years that they continue
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to monitor these threats associated With, iran following earlier regional
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: conflicts and the death of Senior ranian, leaders and these
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: new declarations are even more likely to receive intense scrutiny
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: From american intelligence agencies and The department Of Homeland. Security,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: now For, israel the rhetorica's equally significant and concerning The Prime.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Minister Net yahoo has been at the center Of israel's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: military campaign Against iran's nuclear military, infrastructure and that's made
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: him one Of tehran's primary. Targets calls for his assassination
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: fit into a broader pattern of escalating hostility between the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: two countries as, well and, diplomatically timing is especially. Delicate
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: The american, envoys, well they're reportedly continuing the negotiations aimed
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: at reducing the tensions and advancing agreements Over RAN's nuclear,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: program and that's where the hardline voices Inside iran appear
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to be pushing in the opposite. Direction they're demanding confrontation
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: rather than. Compromise that split illustrates the complete power center
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Within iran and the challenge negotiators face when trying to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: reach the latest and lasting. Agreements, now whether these declarations
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: ultimately translate into any operational threat remains. Unknown public calls
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: for violence do not necessarily mean an attack will occur
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: or instantly or in the. Future but security professionals treat
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: this type of rhetoric with seriousness because history has shown
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that the incidence like this and when influential figures while
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: they say that it's time to, attack it has a
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: massive increase of the risk of violence by radical supporters
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and lone wolves.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Who are following their.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Initiative, now for, now intelligence, agencies law enforcement and diplomatic,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: officials well they're certainly going to have to monitor the situation.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Closely but it also underscores how volatile the relationship remains
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: literally Within iran between the clerics and THE irgc and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: anyone else claiming to run the. Country one thing is for,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: sure The United states And, israel well they're having to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: stand side by side right now like never, before because
• 30:32
