What landmark case is the Supreme Court hearing regarding women's sports?
The Supreme Court hears a landmark case on men in women's sports. Trump tells Iranians that help is on the way. And Bill Clinton may be held in contempt of Congress. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, January 13th. This is Evening Wire.
President Trump spoke at an event in Detroit this afternoon, hot on the heels of new economic data.
What did Trump say about support for Iranian protesters?
The latest release shows inflation held steady at 2.7%. The numbers support a trend of cooling inflation, which the president was happy to point out today.
What are the implications of Bill Clinton potentially being held in contempt of Congress?
As of this morning, core inflation for the past three months has been just 1.6%. The numbers we just announced just before I came on stage. And GDP is smashing expectations with the fastest growth for this country in many years.
President Trump also hammered affordability.
I'm going to provide much more detail about our housing policies so that every American who wants to own a home will be able to afford one this week. I'll announce our health care affordability framework that will reduce premiums for millions of lower drug prices, delivering price transparency and demand honesty and accountability from insurance companies. Inflation has stopped. Wages are up. Prices are down. Our economy is booming like I think you'll see soon like never before.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments earlier today in a landmark case concerning men in women's sports. Here with more is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo.
The court heard arguments in two consolidated cases that focus on whether these bans to protect girls' sports are constitutional and fall within Title IX. The ruling will have major influence, impacting 27 states that already have laws in place to keep men out of women's sports, and it could also impact laws protecting females' privacy in bathrooms and other spaces. As both sides battled over this question of what is a woman, the conservative justices seem to lean in favor of states being allowed to protect fairness in sports. Here's a standout moment from Justice Alito and a rep for a trans athlete in the Idaho case about how to even define sex.
For equal protection purposes, what does it mean to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman? We do not have a definition for the court. What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth sex males categorically from women's teams and that there's a subset of those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so according to the state's own interest.
Well, how can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?
The court is expected to give its ruling by late spring or early summer.
President Trump has signaled overt support for the Iranian protesters, canceling all meetings with their government. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce has the latest.
Trump took to Truth Social saying, Iranian patriots keep protesting. Take over your institutions. Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. He went on to say, help is on the way. The death toll in Iran has now surpassed 2,000 lives. The group Human Rights in Iran said fatalities included over 1,800 protesters, along with 135 members of the country's security forces. Since the beginning of the unrest, over 16,000 have been arrested. News also broke regarding Irfan Soltani, a 26-year-old Iranian now allegedly set to be hung on Wednesday. The Iranian government has charged him with the crime of waging war on God. In another announcement via Truth Social, Trump wrote, Effective immediately, any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt spoke on the escalating conflict with reporters.
I think one thing President Trump is very good at is always keeping all of his options on the table. And airstrikes would be one of the many, many options that are on the table. Diplomacy is always the first option for the president.
