Automatic TRANSCRIPT
News. Meanwhile, the federal government warning the threats of political violence will likely intensify against state leaders and judges following the Supreme Court decision. This is something they were prepared for. There was a meeting. And all of the stakeholders had something to say about it, but I'm pretty sure that they were all talking about the same thing. And that was whether or not there would be significant violence. We saw the president call for people to stay calm and for there not to be violence, but we are reminded that DHS sort of suggested that they knew something was coming. They said, on June 7th, in a national terrorism advisory bulletin quote in the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets and this decision being announced was one of those events. That is WTO's national security correspondent JJ green.
