The odds of them actually agreeing to re-hear a recently decided case and then changing their mind are extremely low.
00:00:46.360
President Trump launching a long-shot push to revive his effort to limit birthright citizenship,
00:00:51.800
while an immediate reversal appears unlikely, supporters say the legal fight is far from over.
00:00:58.460
American citizenship is worth far more than $4,000.
00:01:02.560
Texas Governor Greg Abbott launching an investigation into a hospital accused of
00:01:07.120
selling childbirth packages to pregnant women across the border in Mexico. Day four of Tyler
00:01:13.500
Robinson's preliminary hearing bringing out new texts and DNA evidence linking him to the murder
00:01:19.700
weapon and engraved ammunition. And a flying lesson taking a horrifying turn when the instructor
00:01:27.200
allegedly jumps from the plane, leaving his 22-year-old student alone at the controls.

If you are heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk most people
00:01:45.640
don't even think about until it's too late and you don't have to. Summer colds linger and can
00:01:50.880
turn into sinus infections that last for weeks. Getting sick right before a vacay can derail
00:01:55.640
everything. And when you're traveling, finding a doctor and a pharmacy is stressful, especially if
00:02:00.680
you're overseas. But let me tell you about the medical emergency kit from the wellness company.
00:02:06.260
It's like an urgent care and a pharmacy right at home. It includes essential prescriptions like
00:02:11.180
amoxicillin and generic Z-Pak to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses. No waiting
00:02:16.880
for your doctor, no hours of urgent care, no pharmacy lines, no co-pays. Just match your
00:02:22.120
symptoms to the right prescription in your guidebook or call their telemedicine doctor
00:02:26.480
standing by. Start on your meds sooner and feel better faster. Order yours online in 10 minutes

President Trump launching an uphill effort to revive his push to limit birthright citizenship.
00:02:59.320
The president announcing Wednesday that he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its June
00:03:04.400
decision, striking down his executive order. The order denying automatic citizenship to certain
00:03:10.540
children born in the U.S. whose parents are here illegally or only temporarily. The High Court
00:03:16.640
ruling 6-3 that President Trump's order attempting to limit birthright citizenship was unlawful.
00:03:23.320
A five-justice majority, including conservative Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney
00:03:28.900
Barrett, finding that the 14th Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to children
00:03:34.200
born in the U.S., even if their parents are here illegally or just temporarily.
00:03:39.740
Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurring in the judgment, but on different grounds.
00:03:44.860
President Trump pointing to a Fox News report about Mexican billboards advertising Texas
00:03:50.520
birthing packages as evidence the ruling opens American citizenship to abuse.
00:03:55.980
The president posting to Truth Social that signs along the southern border advertise deliveries
00:04:00.880
starting at $4,000, accusing businesses of turning birthright citizenship into a profitable scam.
00:04:09.660
Mr. Trump writing, quote, American citizenship is not for sale.
00:04:13.100
In fact, that is a crime, and therefore the Supreme Court's ruling is wrong.
00:04:17.040
I will be asking for a rehearing by the U.S. Supreme Court immediately.
00:04:22.280
Supreme Court rules allow parties to request another hearing after the justices decide
00:04:27.340
Winning one, however, remains almost unheard of.
00:04:31.100
Legal scholar Stephen Vladek finding the court last granted rehearing in an argued case in
00:04:36.860
1965 and has reversed one of its own decisions after rehearing only once.
00:04:43.160
We spoke with Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, who says it is extremely
00:04:48.880
unlikely that the high court will rehear this case, but argues the ruling may not settle the
00:04:53.840
issue forever. I think it's understandable that President Trump would want to do this. And I think
00:04:58.880
he's actually right on the merits. I think the Supreme Court got this case wrong, but the odds
00:05:03.200
of them actually agreeing to rehear a recently decided case and then changing their mind are
00:05:08.540
extremely low. I mean, it would just be very, very bizarre. Normally, they wouldn't do that.
00:05:12.900
I can only imagine in some case where there's just this massive new set of new facts that
00:05:27.840
a lot of time and, you know, goes through all the effort
00:05:39.720
all this work. It'd be very embarrassing for the court
00:05:47.860
beneath the 6-3 ruling and what he sees as an unexpectedly strong foundation for a future
00:05:54.020
challenge. The fact that the conventional wisdom in the legal academy said this would be like a
00:05:58.100
9-0, that it was a frivolous issue, and there was no research done, and all of a sudden we're
00:06:03.060
getting four votes in the Supreme Court, that means that, you know, this is actually a pretty
00:06:07.220
persuasive argument that has been marshaled by the people who would say birthright citizenship
00:06:12.000
is more limited than the conventional wisdom would suggest. And if we're already winning
00:06:15.960
four votes, then one or two justices changing on the court, or maybe 10 years of this policy being
00:06:21.740
enforced, will, I think, lead actually, I think we're ultimately going to win. Like, I think
00:06:26.560
ultimately that, you know, this is the case that was wrong when it was decided, and a future
00:06:30.480
Supreme Court is going to reverse it. Chamberlain believes Congress could eventually force a new
00:06:35.260
constitutional test. I could see a world where a future Republican Congress passes a statute that
00:06:40.960
reinterprets birthright citizenship and reinterprets the language subject to the
00:06:44.820
jurisdiction in thereof as providing the basis for a challenge. I don't think, I doubt a future
00:06:49.560
White House will try the same tactic where they try and do it through an executive order,
00:06:53.400
but I could easily see a world where, say, if the Republicans had a little more control of both the
00:06:59.060
House and Senate, that they would try and pass a statute like this, and that would be the basis
00:07:03.520
for another challenge, because obviously, you know, there would be some sort of lawsuit
00:07:07.340
challenging the statute as unconstitutional. Any such law would almost certainly face an
00:07:12.680
immediate constitutional challenge. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican launching
00:07:18.920
an investigation into a hospital accused of marketing American births directly to pregnant
00:07:25.220
women in Mexico. The governor ordering the Texas Health and Human Services Commission
00:07:29.960
to determine whether Mission Regional Medical Center violated state law or any of its contractual
00:07:36.120
obligations by advertising what it called, quote, birth packages in South Texas. The
00:07:42.220
nonprofit hospital sits in Mission, Texas, just north of the Mexican border. Its Spanish
00:07:47.960
language campaign offering natural deliveries starting at $3,950 and C-sections starting at
00:07:55.780
$5,525, directing prospective patients to a website called havemybabyintexas.com,
00:08:04.060
according to Fox News. The advertisements appearing on two billboards near a border
00:08:09.300
crossing in Mexico, complete with an international telephone number for calling the U.S.
00:08:14.640
Governor Abbott accusing the hospital of targeting foreign nationals in an apparent effort
00:08:18.720
to profit from securing American citizenship for their children. The hospital confirming
00:08:23.940
the Spanish-language campaign to Fox News, but maintaining it never intended to promote any
00:08:29.060
illegal activity. A spokesperson saying the hospital removed the billboards and website
00:08:34.360
Monday because of what it called a, quote, unintended misunderstanding, adding, quote,
00:08:40.320
like hospitals across the country and throughout the region, we share information about the
00:08:44.620
healthcare services we provide. We do not support or facilitate any unlawful activity and work to
00:08:51.280
comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The campaign reportedly
00:08:56.560
beginning in 2021, although the hospital did not disclose when the billboards first went up.
00:09:02.660
Congressman Brandon Gill, Republican from Texas, arguing on Fox News that American citizenship
00:09:07.840
should never become part of a commercial maternity package.
00:09:12.500
Well, it's disgraceful, and I think that it's deeply insulting to every single American.
00:09:17.580
We recognize in America, as American citizens, that American citizenship is worth far more than
00:09:23.700
four thousand dollars that you don't just cross the border and enter magic dirt and have a child
00:09:29.780
and that child become fully american you know our becoming an american citizen means not only that
00:09:35.840
you have constitutional liberties that you have legal and economic protections and social
00:09:40.920
opportunities that nobody else in the world has but it also means that you are a part of the
00:09:46.100
american body politic that you have the rights and responsibilities that come with being an american
00:09:51.480
citizen, meaning you can influence our system of government, our rule of law, how this country
00:09:56.160
functions. And that's not something that we just simply hand out to our geopolitical adversaries
00:10:01.360
or to anybody who just simply crosses the border for the purpose of giving birth.
00:10:06.460
The controversy emerging as the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown
00:10:10.780
on so-called birth tourism operations. Federal rules prohibit foreign nationals from obtaining
00:10:16.580
visitor visas when their primary purpose is traveling to the U.S. to give birth
00:10:21.220
so their child receives American citizenship. The State Department announcing last month
00:10:26.520
that it had revoked hundreds of visas as part of a broader effort to identify the businesses
00:10:31.720
and networks facilitating those trips. Coming up, day four of Tyler Robinson's
00:10:39.180
preliminary hearing revealing forensic evidence tying him to the rifle and ammunition recovered
00:10:44.960
near the scene where Charlie Kirk was killed. And a 22-year-old student forced to complete
00:10:50.620
the ultimate emergency landing after her flight instructor allegedly jumps from the plane midair.
00:11:03.520
Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting
00:11:08.940
in your wallet, which you know, and now they're messing with your credit card too.
00:11:14.180
They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators
00:11:18.780
Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate
00:11:24.180
megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
00:11:29.500
Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to
00:11:33.740
help make everyday purchases much more affordable.
00:11:38.640
The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates would let corporate
00:11:42.800
megastores, cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested
00:11:48.380
networks with weaker security, and fewer protections. Find out more about this whole
00:11:53.440

00:12:00.580
Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk last September,
00:12:06.000
back in a Utah County courtroom yesterday for day four of his preliminary hearing.
00:12:11.180
Prosecutors continuing their effort to persuade Judge Tony Graff
00:12:14.360
they have enough evidence to take Robinson to trial on seven charges,
00:12:20.900
The morning session focusing on Robinson's former roommate
00:12:24.100
and so-called transgender furry lover, Lance Twiggs.
00:12:28.920
The court playing portions of a recorded interview Twiggs gave investigators.
00:12:33.420
In the video, Twiggs telling them that roughly one month before the shooting,
00:12:37.260
Robinson asked to borrow a Dremel tool to engrave bullets, claiming they were intended for a
00:12:43.920
hunting trip. The court then turning to text messages Robinson allegedly sent twigs after
00:12:49.380
the shooting. In those messages, Robinson confessing to killing Kirk, explaining why he
00:12:54.780
targeted the Turning Point USA founder and father of two, discussing efforts to recover and conceal
00:13:00.700
the suspected murder weapon. The afternoon session bringing Utah State Bureau of Investigation
00:13:06.160
Sergeant Jennifer Famoina back to the stand. Famoina, who led the evidence response team,
00:13:12.400
first describing what investigators found inside the rifle recovered in the wooded area
00:13:17.500
near where Charlie was killed. So when we rendered the gun safe, we found in it,
00:13:22.380
when we removed the bolt back, we found one 30-06 cartridge case, or a safe, a fired
00:13:30.640
cartridge case, and we also found three unfired cartridges, all with engravings on them.
00:13:37.280
Prosecutors then displaying the rounds one by one as Falmoina read each engraving for the court.
00:13:43.620
Do you notice an inscription or an etching on this cartridge case? Yes, I do. Will you read the
00:13:50.060
markings here? Hey, fascist. And page three. Catch. And page four. Up arrow, right arrow,
0.98
00:13:58.800
down arrow down arrow down arrow all right let's go to exhibit 21 and was this another round that
00:14:05.060
was found in the gun yes will you read the inscription here old bella chow page two chow
00:14:13.000
chow all right let's go to exhibit 22 another round that was found from the gun correct yes
00:14:19.540
will you please read the letters here if you read page two this comma you are page three
00:14:34.080
Falmoina testifying that investigators found overwhelming DNA evidence linking Robinson
00:14:39.260
to several of the items, including the buttons of the Dremel tool.
00:14:43.920
Calculation number one, it mentions here Exhibit 15.1.
00:14:50.640
Yep, it is swabs of the buttons of the Dremel tool.
00:14:58.460
Yes. The DNA profile is at least one trillion times more likely if it originated from Tyler
00:15:03.460
Robinson as a contributor to the major component in two unrelated, unknown individuals than if
00:15:10.320
it originated from three unrelated, unknown individuals. We also read paragraph E.
00:15:16.060
The probability of an unrelated individual in the population who has not contributed
00:15:20.500
DNA to this sample yielding this level of support is less than one in one trillion.
00:15:27.140
Investigators finding similarly strong DNA evidence on multiple parts of the rifle and scope,
00:15:33.160
as well as the engraved cartridges, the Dremel's cord, and two of its metal bits.
00:15:38.720
Prosecutors resting their case after four days of testimony,
00:15:42.040
the hearing later shifting to another dispute over public access to the evidence.
00:15:46.920
An attorney for the Kirk family asking Judge Graff to publicly play an enhanced compilation
00:15:51.920
of surveillance footage gathered from Utah Valley University.
00:15:56.160
arguing that all evidence admitted during the hearing should be shown in open court.
00:16:00.500
Robinson defense attorney Michael Burt responding with a pointed and totally unfounded attack on Erica Kirk.
00:16:08.680
As the court knows, we have witness availability problems.
00:16:12.140
We spent the bulk of today and yesterday arguing about nothing to do with the evidence in the case,
00:16:22.480
and it's appropriate for the court to consider that but at some point
00:16:26.280
I think the court has to return to the purpose of these hearings
00:16:29.840
which is to expeditiously hear the evidence and then determine probable cause
00:16:36.640
and I want to point out to the court Ms. Kirk has been very adept at holding
00:16:40.900
press conferences at which she has revealed evidence
00:16:44.440
she has represented that the state is her attorney
00:16:49.540
She has access to all the evidence that the state has publicized and that the media and her own lawyer argues is already in the public domain.
00:17:01.080
So they're perfectly free to go outside this courtroom under the court's protective order.
00:17:07.400
They're free to go out and hold press conferences and announce to the world outside the courtroom what they think the evidence is.
00:17:14.780
Kirk family attorney Jeffrey Nyman firing back.
00:17:18.040
the family has not seen this video it hasn't it doesn't have access to the evidence the state has
00:17:22.560
the state is the state and mrs kirk and the family are have their representatives that there's a
00:17:27.080
completely distortion of reality that was just put forth um and this is about educating anybody
00:17:32.980
anybody about anything this is about allowing the family to see the evidence that's been gathered
00:17:37.640
after a 10-month investigation in which a father a husband was assassinated that's what this is
00:17:45.700
about. So we ask you to please allow the family to view the video like the court has viewed
00:17:51.700
in order to allow the family to process this moment. Judge Graff declining to rule immediately,
00:17:59.380
today expected to mark the final day of the preliminary hearing with one witness remaining.
00:18:04.180
Prosecutors had hoped to move directly into closing arguments and receive an immediate
00:18:07.880
ruling on whether Robinson will stand trial. The defense asking to submit written briefs,
00:18:13.380
setting up another round of filings before closing arguments.
00:18:17.160
Judge Graff granting that request, pushing oral arguments to September 1st,
00:18:21.940
meaning the likely trial will be delayed even further.
00:18:26.700
A flying lesson in Argentina taking an unimaginable turn.
00:18:31.200
The instructor reportedly jumping out of the plane mid-flight,
00:18:35.700
leaving his 22-year-old student alone and at the controls.
00:18:39.000
The bizarre and tragic incident unfolding Saturday over the central province of Cordoba.
00:18:45.880
According to Argentine outlet TN, flight instructor Leandro Bertazzo, 42 years old,
00:18:52.360
and a student named Rosario were flying in a two-seat Cessna when Bertazzo suddenly removed
00:18:58.520
his headset, unbuckled his seatbelt, and opened the aircraft door. His final instruction to
00:19:04.580
Rosario, quote, You know what you have to do. Carry on. Bertazzo then jumping from the plane
00:19:10.860
to his death. Rosario radioing the Flying Parrot Flight School for help, following emergency
00:19:17.360
instructions to fly the aircraft back to the airfield, landing safely without damaging the
00:19:22.460
plane. Flight school director Eduardo Alvarez praising the young pilot, telling Tien, quote,
00:19:28.700
She was very shaken, but with complete professionalism, she piloted the plane to
00:19:33.480
the airfield and landed perfectly. Alvarez joining the search for Bertazzo, spotting his body in a
00:19:40.560
rural field roughly 15 minutes after the jump, authorities pronouncing the instructor dead at
00:19:45.800
the scene. Bertazzo was an experienced pilot with several advanced licenses and had completed
00:19:51.980
another lesson earlier that same day. Alvarez telling Tien that no one at the flight school
00:19:57.240
detected any warning that Bertazzo might take his own life. Quote,
00:20:00.860
There's a very close student-instructor relationship in a professional sense,
00:20:05.580
but none of those who flew with him, nor those of us who saw him,
00:20:08.840
could detect that he was going to make that decision to jump out of an aircraft.
00:20:15.480
His relatives later revealing that he had recently sought mental health treatment
00:20:21.520
Prosecutors now investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
