one thing that i have learned, especially from living abroad in the past years, and having to fit in in different cultures and kind of assimilate into different cultures, is that in the u.s. we are continuing to make progress every single day. >> he did a great job thinking on his feet. what about the fact that the iranian media hijacked that news conference which should have been a pre-match news conference and what the tensions are there as we watch to see what the iranian team does after we know they were silent during the national anthem on a previous match and now what's going to happen today? >> reporter: andrea, you are right. this was very unusual. an unexpected press conference. you played the sound from the team captain tyler adams, who answered those questions with incredible poise and respect and class. what we are seeing here is that
lives matter movement over the past few years? are you okay to be representing the u.s., meanwhile there's so much discrimination happening against black people in america? >> my apologies on the mispronunciation of your country. yeah, that being said, you know, there's discrimination everywhere you go. one thing that i've learned, especially from living abroad in the past years, and having to fit in in different cultures and kind of assimilate into different cultures is that in the u.s., we are continuing to make progress every single day. growing up, for me, i grew up in a white family with an african american heritage and background as well. i had a little bit of different cultures. i was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures. not everyone has that ease and the ability to do that. obviously, it takes time to understand. through education, it's important, like you just educated me on the pronunciation of your country.

see the help of crusty at the same time in a place like this valley, there is what you talked, about this underlying trend of assimilation. when you look at migrants, you look at asylum seekers, and you look at brown people that look just like you, you want to look the other way. because you want to assimilate. because you feel like success, and what it means to be american is not that. and that is also happening there. >> i would assume that being able to identify a congresswoman who looks like you but has reached success, like flores, that is really meaningful. >> we are not just talking about her, there are at least two other ones. there is monica, and there is casey garcia who is in laredo, with what they have in common, they are republican, they are trump supporters, they are the daughter of immigrants, they are bilingual, they could speak in spanish, they'll have right-wing policies about immigration, abortion, the economy. but you are right, they look like them. it is very different when a white man tells you vote for a republican, versus suddenly, these brown latinas that are
remember, these are two governors, desantis and abbott, that have catered to latinos through one message. and that is a fear of communism. here they are, punishing asylum seekers for leaving communism. so, i think you are right. i think it will backfire. i think for those latino moderates, it will backfire. because there is no way that you see that, and you do not see the help of crusty at the same time in a place like this valley, there is what you talked, about this underlying trend of assimilation. when you look at migrants, you look at asylum seekers, and you look at brown people that look just like you, you want to look the other way. because you want to assimilate. because you feel like success, and what it means to be american is not that. and that is also happening there. >> i would assume that being able to identify a congresswoman who looks like you but has reached success, like flores, that is really meaningful. >> we are not just talking about her, there are at least two other ones. there is monica, and there is casey garcia who is in laredo, with what they have in common, they are

property is a crime. but for his actions that day, nick has been charged with four felonies and three misdemeanors. he is facing 16 1/2 years in prison. if those charges sound overly harsh, i think that was law enforcement's point. just as the system overcharged many of the black lives matter protesters that same year. and remember, the fight for the return for black hills had been going on since 1868. remember the little broken treaty i talked about? during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, the american indian movement emerged. aimed at challenging u.s. policies that were trying to remove indigenous communities from their lan and force them to assimilate. the movement paved the way for protest, civil disobedience and land occupation across the country, including mount rushmore in the summer of 1970. >> our people have never given up the fight for this land. they tried to put native people in the past all the time instead of putting us in the present. >> yeah. >> right now in sewed, today, you know. >> yeah.

americans. the father reacted very violently to that. threatening these young ladies. they reached out to teachers, others that they trusted. finally the girls fled with their mother, their american mother, fled from texas to oklahoma. living there in hiding. the mother convinced the kid to go back. they go back new year's day in 2008. the father gets them into a taxi. he was a taxi driver and shoots them. he shoots them and kills his own daughters. why? because they were dating americans. it is an awful story. it runs counter to so many positive immigrant stories where they come and assimilate and so forth. this is a wretched man who got his son and brother to help him to live on the lamb, to live in hiding for a dozen years for goodness sake on the f.b.i.
