  Speaker 1: athletes from women's in girls' sports. And this is the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: moment when feminists should be celebrating. So why are they not?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Because it was conservatives and Presidentald Trump that actually pushed
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the issue. After years of lawsuits, years of political battles,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: emotional testimony from female athletes, and then a national debate
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that dominated the headlines, the United States Supreme Court ruled
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that states can in fact protect girls and women's sports
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: by limiting female athlete competitions to biological females.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And it was a six' to three.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Decision the court upheld the laws From idaho In West,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: virginia concluding they do not violate Either title nine or The. Constitution,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: now for millions Of, americans this isn't simply about.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Politics this is about.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Fairness it's about preserving the very reason women's sports exist
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the first. Place and For President Donald, trump this
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: represents one of the defining victories of his second. Term
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: female athletes coming, out one of, them who played volleyball
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: At San Jose, state saying this On Fox News channel
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about the.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: RULING i just.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Had to practice with. HIM i wasn't even playing against
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: him in a real, game so at the bare, minimum
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: at LEAST i got to know his tendencies SO i
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: could keep myself a little bit. Safer but even, then
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it's Like i'm still getting slammed in at my. BODY
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: i bruises on my legs from getting hit with a,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Ball like these other teams don't know what they're walking.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Into and that's even worse than WHAT i had to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: go through going into practice every single day trying to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: keep myself. Safe but these other student athletes at other
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: institutions going into it not even knowing what they're walking.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Into and you listen to, that and that is exactly
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: why the president wanted to move forward and. Act as
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a quick, reminder twenty nine states restrict trans athletes in girls',
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: sports and of course every radical extreme LOW lgbtq plus
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: organization immediately jumped into. Sue there was a study also
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that came out that one hundred and twenty two thousand
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: trans high school athletes is the total they claim in THE.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: US a study also found that one percent of high
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: school athletes are quote, trans and THE, ncaa After President
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Donald trump got into, office banned trans athletes in girls'.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Sports you can see exactly why this decision was such
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a big. Deal, Now President, trump he, said this represents
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: one of the defining victories of his second. Term and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you may ask, yourself how do we even get. Here,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: well to understand why today was such a major, moment
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you literally have to go back fifty years back in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy, Two congress Passed title, nine and the goal
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was really, straightforward women and girls deserve equal opportunities in,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: education including. Athletics, again it was actually about education, first
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not just. Athletics and Before title, nine many schools barely
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: funded girls. Sports scholarships didn't, exist facilities were often, inferior
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they were a joke if they even had them at,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: all and many girls simply didn't have the chance to.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Compete title nine changed all of, that and over the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: next fifty years participation girls and women's athletics. Exploded you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have millions of young women that earned, scholarships giving them
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a chance to go to. College women's college sports then
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: flourished professional leagues and, expanded and then The olympic opportunities multiplied.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Exponentially you literally had an entire generation of female athletes
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that benefited from protections designed specifically for.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Them, yes for, women not for.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Men now in recent years you saw the change happen
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: before your very. Eyes in the early twenty, twenties you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: had this massive mandate that you must allow any man
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: who claims their women to be able to compete with
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: women and use their locker rooms and their.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Facilities that is.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Insane you then witness people that had done their entire
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: life focusing on a, sport not when or the records
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that were beaten by men claiming they were. Women, now
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the simple question, was, look should biological males who identify
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: as female be allowed to compete in women's. Sports this
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: is when you would think the feminists would stand up
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and said protect women's, Sports but the liberals didn't do.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It in, fact they advocated for, this and then that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: question has now moved to the entire. Country some female
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: athletes said they were losing championships and the data backed it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Up then you had the scholarship opportunities that were. Disappearing
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that was another. Problem then you had podium finishes where
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: men were standing at the top during women's, sports and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: then the roster spots that were being filled by men
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and instead of women in women's. Sports, now there were
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: many others that raised concerns about. Safety you heard one
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of them just a moment. Ago they said the contact,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: sports it was. Insane and then integrity of sex separated. Competition,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: supporters of, course on the radical left of transgendered, inclusion
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: argued that transgendered athletes deserved equal opportunities to participate and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that blanket bans discriminate on the basis of gender. Identity the, country,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: well it was. Divided if you're, conservative you probably were
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on the side of, sanity and if you were a radical,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: liberal you were probably on the side of. Insanity and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that is Where Donald trump came. In throughout his presidential,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: CAMPAIGNS i said that as a plural word, Campaigns Donald
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: trump repeatedly promised that if he was, elected he would
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: protect women's sports at all. Costs, now many political observers
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: initially dismissed the issue as nothing but, symbolic but after
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: returning to, office the pre showed he wasn't joking.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And he made it one of his very first.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Priorities In february of twenty twenty, Five trump signed the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: executive order Titled Keeping Men out Of Women's. Sports you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can't be any clearer than. That and the order was very,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: clear directing federal agencies to Interpret title nine protections based
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on biological sex and then warned that schools receiving federal
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: funding could face consequences if they allowed biological males to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: compete in girls and women's. Sports that executive order immediately
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: became a major political. Fight supporters called it common. Sense
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the left and the media called it. Discriminatory and this
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: again was another example of The president, SAYING i am
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: willing to have this, fight and let's go to The Supreme. Court,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: now more than half of the states had already enacted
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: laws in this country addressing transgender participation school, athletics and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's at the stage for the major constitutional. Showdown there
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: were two cases that reached The Supreme. Court one Involved,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: idaho the other Involved West. VIRGINIA i was actually in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the oral arguments at The Supreme court for these. Cases,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: now both states argued they had a legitimate interest in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: preserving fairness and safety in girls athletics by limiting female
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sports to biological. Males the challengers argued that these laws
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Violated title nine and The Equal Protection. Clause, now during
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: those oral, arguments several conservative justices questioned house schools could
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: preserve sex based athletics if biological sex could not be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: used as an eligibility. Standard, well today The court answered that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Question The Supreme court ruled that states may maintain those
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: protections for girls and women's. Sports Justice Brett kavanaugh wrote
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: for the, majority concluding that states may base eligibility for
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: women's school sports on biological, sex and that doing so
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: is consistent With title nine and The constitution as. Well
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: now this is a historic. Moment the ruling, says this
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: decision preserves the original purpose Of title, nine and if
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you're a, woman you should be. Thrilled they argue women's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: sports were created because of biological. Differences, yes there are
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: real differences between men and, women and that maintaining the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: separate female competitions actually protects competitive fairness as well as
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: athletic opportunities through scholarships and countless other. Things they also
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: argue the ruling provides legal clarity now for the states
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and schools and coaches and athletic organizations after years of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: uncertainty and. Lawsuits the decision is also likely to influence
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ongoing litigation other states with similar, laws and, Again this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is nothing but a Leadership trump. Victory even though these
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: cases and of state, Laws President trump made the issue
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a central part of his. Platform he campaigned on, it
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he signed an executive order on, it and his administration
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: supported the states defending these laws before The Supreme. Court,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: now after the, Ruling President trump celebrated the, decision calling
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it a big. Win supporters say today's outcome reflex years
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a political effort to reshape How total nine is interpreted
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and also. Enforced, now it's important also to understand that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Many americans are going to fight back on. This opponents
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: are going to argue transiender students should have the opportunity
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to participate in sports consistent with their gender, identity and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you can bet they're going to try any way they
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: can to force men on women in. Sports all, RIGHT

  Speaker 1: Now the agency identified individuals arrested in multiple, states Including North, Carolina, Colorado, California, Louisiana, Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Florida,

  Speaker 1: utah And. Nevada that is how far reaching the tentacles
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrant criminal activity are in this. Country, yes

  Speaker 1: it's not just border states. Now among those listed were

• 13:09
  Speaker 1: were hard at work arresting criminal legal aliens convicted for,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: homicide child sexual, abuse, assault, rape and drug, trafficking is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: what the Acting Assistant secretary said in the. Statement she
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: said the administration would continue arresting and removing criminal legal
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: immigrants from The United states Of.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: America.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Now these arrests also come as The trump administration has
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: made immigration enforcement and then deportations clearly the centerpiece of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the second term agenda Of Donald. Trump, now the administration
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: has DIRECTED ice to increase arrests and. Removals let me
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: say that, again increase arrests and removals and prioritizing illegal
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: immigrants with criminal convictions while expanding enforcement operations. Nationwide the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: administration officials OF art argued that the effort is aimed
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: at improving public. Safety of, course the radical left contends
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: broader enforcement actions that are sweeping in some immigrants without
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: serious criminal. Records, well they're saying this is unfair and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: not due. Process but THE, dhs, well they made it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: clear the individuals arrested over the weekend they already had
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: final removal orders or provide additional details on the timings
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for their, convictions making it clear that, yes they're going
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: for the worst among. Us The United States Supreme court
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: has issued one of the most consequential immigration rulings in,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: decades bringing an end to a legal battle Over President
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Donald trump's, effort which so many, supported to end automatic
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship for certain children that are born in The
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: United states Of. America and if you're, logical you understand
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: why The president was trying to do. This, clearly it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: was being abused on a lets that honestly none of,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: US i think can truly.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Understand.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Now to understand why this case mattered so, much you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: got to go back to What President trump's very first
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: day in office was actually all. About that, is When
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: President trump signed an executive order and it declared that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: children born in The United states Of america will no
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: longer automatically RECEIVE us citizenship if their parents were in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the country illegally or were only here, temporarily such as
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on a, student work or tourist. Visa, now the administration
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: argued that The constitution had been interpreted incorrectly for more
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: than a. Century The trump administration's legal argument centered on
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just a few words in The Fourteenth amendment subject to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the jurisdiction of The United. States the administration argued before
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The Supreme court that those words mean more than simply
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: being born On american. Soil and What trump's position was
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is that if, look if someone parents are not permanently
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and fully subject TO us political jurisdiction because they are
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: here unlawfully or only, temporarily then their children should not
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: be Automatically american citizens if they're born.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Now administration lawyers also argue that the landmark nineteen eighty
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Nine Supreme court decision in The United states Versus Longkim
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: arc had been interpreted too broadly for. Generations they maintained
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that The constitution never intended birthright citizenship to apply to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: everyone born In, america regardless of their parents' legal. Status,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: now The left and of course others that disagree with The,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: president challenged the executive. Order within, days lawsuits were filed
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: across the country by multiple, states immigrant advocacy organizations and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: families who argue That President trump's order well directly violated they,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: said the planned language of The Fourteenth amendment and over
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five years As Supreme Court president
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: jumped to, action and then you had several federal district
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: judges that bocked the executive order before it can even
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: take a. Fact, now, look The president wanted this. Fight
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: let's be. Clear i'm sure he was told by lawyers
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that this was an uphill. Battle but they wanted this
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to be a real, discussion and they wanted The american
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: people to have a grand debate over this loophole where
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: countless people come Into america knowing that they're just going
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to have a child here so they can become An american.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Citizen and that's why The president took action on day.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: One this was a fight he was looking. For, now
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: these nationwide injunctions became an important part of the legal
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: fight as well as these several federal judges jumped in,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: instantly and, initially The trump administration wasn't simply asking The
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Supreme court to decide whether birthright citizenship itself was you, know.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Constitutional it also argued that individual federal district judges should
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not have the power to stop inentral policies nationwide with
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a single. Injunction so there were multiple fights happening. Here,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: now that procedural issue reached The Supreme court first and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: then generated a ton of debate over the power of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the federal court. System, eventually The court agreed to hear
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the constitutional question, directly and that was a simple. Question
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: can a, president by executive order limit birthright? Citizenship, well
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: fast forward to the oral. Arguments so This Sir general
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: defended the administration's, position arguing that the citizenship clause has
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: been misunderstood for generations and that The constitution should be
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: interpreted according to its original. Meaning, now several justices questioned
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: both sides, extensively including conservative members of The court who
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: pressed The trump administration about how its interpretation fit with
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: more than a century a precedent there wasablished by the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Wonkim arc. Decision, well now we know what The Supreme
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: court has decided to. Do in a six to three,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: ruling The court rejected and this was not. Surprising President
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: trump's executive order and how that The Fourteenth amendment continues
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to guarantee birthright citizenship to virtually everyone born On american,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: soil regardless of their parents' immigration. Status, Now Chief Justice
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: John roberts actually wrote for the majority and wrote that. Opinion,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: now The court concluded that that long standing, precedent especially
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the eighteen ninety eight Wonkim arc, decision controls the, issue
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and that the constitution citizenship cause cannot be narrowed through
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: executive action from the. President, now the majority held that
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: if birthright citizenship is ever going to be, changed and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: it can be, changed or want to make that very,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: clear it would require either the constitutional amendment or some
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: other lawful constitutional, mechanism not a presidential executive.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Order.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Now the dissent came From Justice Clarence, Thomas Samuel, leto
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And Neil. Gorshich they argue that The court should have
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: interpreted quote subject to the jurisdiction more narrowly in question
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: whether long standing president had correctly analyzed that constitutional. Phrase
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the practical effort of today's ruling is. Straightforward now the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: executive order cannot be. Enforced that means children born in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The United states Of america will continue to receive citizenship
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: under the same, rules and that those rules that have
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: existed for generations will not.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Change.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Now For President, trump this represents one of the biggest
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: judicial defeats of his second, term especially on the immigration.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Agenda but to be, clear this is not surprising at.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: All those in The White house were expecting more than
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: likely that he was going to, lose and they knew
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that from day. One so why have the, fight because
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: this is an issue worth fighting, over and it's an
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: issue worth talking. About it's an issue worth even, saying
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do we need to make a big? Change and how
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: do you get? That debate started by doing exactly what
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: The trump administration. Did it highlights this important constitutional. Reality,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: now The Supreme court did not simply decide whether it
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: agreed With President trump's immigration. Policy, instead the majority concluded
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that The constitution itself prevents a president from making this
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: change through executive authority. Alone they didn't say it can't.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Happen President trump responded by calling now On, congress which
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: was all part of the plan to pursue legislative solutions on,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: immigration while continuing to argue that the current interpretation of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship actually encourages significantly encourages illegal immigrants to jump
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in on birth.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Tourism, now birth tourism is.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Simple you want to have a child In, america so
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: their An american citizens and then they become an, anchor
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and then, bam you and your family have access to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: The United states Of. America in, fact they actually sell
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: birther tourism around the, world that's how popular it is.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Now under this new, Decision congress itself would also face
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: constitutional limits if it attempted to contradict The court's interpretation
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of The Fourteenth amendment as. Well, now the case will
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: almost certainly become one of the defining constitutional decisions of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the past. Decade supporters of the ruling st reaffirms a
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: constitutional guarantee that existed since The Fourteenth amendment and preserves
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: more than a century Of Supreme court President but if
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You're Donald, trump you're arguing The court missed an opportunity
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to revisit the meeting of the citizenship clause in the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: light of modern immigration law and. Policy and let's be,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: clear it's a lot easier to travel with The United
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: states Of america now than it was when the founding
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: fathers are writing The constitution, now either, way the legal
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: question has now been answered for. Now The Supreme court
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: is ruled that birthright citizenship remains protected under the Fourteenth,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: amendment And President trump's executive order attempting to restrict it
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: cannot take. Effect but this may be a long term
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: gain for The president and conservatives because now we're having
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a national conversation about an extremely important. Issue there is
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a deeply alarming development that is unfolding out Of, iran
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and this is just showing you how tough it is
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to negotiate With iran right, now because there's clearly a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: civil war that is taking place within the. Country, now
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: what is happening right now is some of the country's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: most influential hard line. Clerics now these are the radical,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: clerics the. Extremists they have come out and publicly now
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: called for the assassination Of President 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 Netan.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yahoo.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Now the statements have intensified the already soaring tensions in
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: The Middle east and has raised fresh concerns among intelligence
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and counter terrorism officials about the potential for politically or
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: religiously motivated Violence, now this is also a perfect example
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of why it has been so hard to get a deal,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: done because while you're negotiating with one part Of iran's,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: leadership all of a sudden you find out that the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: other side inside the country is literally trying to undo
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it in real. Time it's the reason why you see
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: some people that are trying to actually attack and others
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: are trying to actually get a deal, done and then
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you really don't even know half the time who the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: other side really is if you're on the outside looking.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: In the religious clerics have made it known they're angry
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and they don't like any deal being done now right.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Now according to multiple, reports members Of iran's cleric establishment
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: actually issued a declaration describing the killing Of trump And
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Netan yahoo as a religious duty for anyone capable of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: carrying it. Out the declaration reportedly Characterizes trump as the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: quote Criminal american president and Net yahoo as the wicked
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Prime minister quote. Unquote, now this is language that has
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: drawn widespread international, condination but that doesn't really hold any
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: weight In iran among the, religious well radical. Clerics, now
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: these statements are significant because they come from figures with
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: actually considerable religious influence Inside iran's political. System, well not
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: every speaks for The iranian, government the country's religious leadership
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and political. Leadership while they are, deeply, deeply deeply. Intertwined,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: analysts a rhetoric from senior clerics can carry someancial weight
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: among hardline, supporters even if it does not constitute an
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: official military. Order sometimes the clerics can be even more
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: powerful than a military order based on. History, now the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: calls reportedly come amid intensified internal, fighting a civil war
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: divisions inside Of iran following the doubt of the Former
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Supreme Leader, kolamani and ongoing negotiations between The iranian officials
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: who are being undermined by the clerics and The United
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: states Of. America, now some factions Within, iran they claim
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they favored diplomacy in hopes of easing the economic. Pressure
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: others this would be the clerics, included argue that compromise
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: represents weakness and instead they're demanding retaliation against perceived enemies
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and even.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: War.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Now the latest statements also revive memories of one of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the most infamous religious decrees in modern, history the nineteen
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: eighty Nine fatwah issued against an Author Salman rusty after
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: publication of The satanic Versus. Now the decree remained influential
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: for decades and was followed by multiple violent, attacks including
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two stabbing that Left rusty severely. Injured
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: because of that, history security experts generally take modern assassination fatwah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: seriously even if they're not formal government quote unquote. Policy.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Now counter terrorism analysts have also warned that the greatest
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: concern is often not a direct operation ordered by the reigning,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: government but the possibility that an individual or a sympathizer
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: or an extremists actually interprets this rhetoric as encouragement to act.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Independently throughout, history inflammatory calls from influential ideological and religious
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: leaders have inspired so called loan actors or lone wolves
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: without even direct operational, control to be inspired because of The,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: internet something they, read or something they see ON. Tv
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The United states has long maintained heightened security Around President
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: trump 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 iranian, 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 netanyahu has been at the center Of israel's military
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: campaign Against iran's nuclear military, infrastructure and that's made him
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: one Of tehran's primary. Targets calls for his assassination fit
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: into a broader pattern of escalating hostility between the two
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: countries as, well and, diplomatically timing is especially. Delicate The american, envoys,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: well they're reportedly continuing the negotiations aimed at reducing the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: tensions and advancing agreements Over RAN's nuclear, program and that's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: where the hardline voices Inside iran appear to be pushing
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: in the opposite. Direction they're demanding confrontation rather than. Compromise
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that split illustrates the complete power center Within iran and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the challenge negotiators face when trying to reach the latest
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and lasting. Agreements, now whether these declarations ultimately translate into
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: any operational threat remains. Unknown public calls for violence do
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: not necessarily mean an attack will occur or instantly or
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: in the, future but security professionals treat this type of
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: rhetoric with seriousness because history has shown that the incidents
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: like this and when influential figures while they say that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: it's time to, attack it has a massive increase of
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the res of violence by radical supporters and lone wolves
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: who are following their. Initiative, now for, now intelligence, agencies
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: law enforcement and diplomatic, officials, well they're certainly going to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: have to monitor the situation. Closely but it also underscores
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: how volatile the relationship remains literally Within iran between the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: clerics and THE irgc and anyone else claiming to run the.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Country one thing is for.
• 30:26
  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
  Speaker 1: this is what they're up against in The Middle. East
