Speaker 1 (00:02):
The BIA News This hour Doug Davis coming up, we'll hear
reaction from a form of black Supreme Court justice clerk
regarding their ruling limiting the ability for judges to issue
nationwide injunctions. Also, juris of the Shandy Dicomb sex crimes
trial will start deliberations one day, whilst NBA star Kyrie
Irving donates thousands to honor the legacy from jimire Vice.
But first, here's bin news.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Now, Black women are already feeling the brun of health
care inequities. According to the CDC, two out of three
Black women need the resources of medicaid when it comes
to childbirth. Aisha Clark, Executive director of Health Equity Services.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
This should be a human right and if we're taking
those things away, but the system that is already designed
to fail individuals, we'll see progression and death.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Clark, who is African Americans, says health care disparities will
continue to be addressed. Judges around the country now have
limited ability to issue nationwide injunctions. President Trump praised the
ruling on birthright citizenship related to the Lower Court judges
who have blocked his many executive orders. President and Trump
is ending all trade talks with Canada. In a post
on truth Social Trump said is due to Canada putting

(01:05):
a digital services tax on American technology companies, which she
called a direct and blatant attack on the US. He added,
they will let Canada know within the next seven days
about the tariff they will now face to do business
with American companies. And now back to you, Doug.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
All right, thanks well. The Supreme Court has limited judges
power to issue injunctions and move praise by President Trump
saying it curves liberal judges from blocking his agenda. That
ruling supports his efforts to end automatic birth right citizenship
for some for now. Lisa Mary is a former clerk
for Justice Soto Mayor. She shares some of her thoughts
about the ruling with MSNBC.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm actually perhaps most concerned about the concurrence that Justice
Thomas wrote. Justice Thomas in his concurrent opinion essentially says
nationwide injunctions are off the table. But more importantly, he
calls for reconsideration or at least acknowledgement, that the Court's
opinion here means that any kind of injunctive relief that

(02:01):
might be available to lower courts must be similarly constrained.
So not only does he view the majority's opinion as
taking nationwide injunctions off the table for lower courts, he
also thinks it augurs in favor of more limited injunctive
relief for lower courts.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
She adds that, in other words, it means that lower
courts will have a tougher time reigning in the Trump administration.
The ruling did not directly address Trump's executive order, which
seeks to limit birthright citizenship to children with at least
one US citizen or a permanent resident parent. Now one
to a case that has stirred up conversations about power, celebrity,
and justice, The fate of Sean Didycombs now rests in

(02:38):
the hands of a New York City jury. After seven
weeks of testimony, the defense team today laid down its
final word, with prosecutors presenting the rebuttals. Defense attorney Misty
Marris tells CNN how did his team performed in the case.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
They had a lot of golds that came out during
cross examination of some of the prosecution's witnesses for different reasons.
Some of it was extreme credibility issues. Maybe somebody they're
saying they're lying, but also perhaps they don't remember this
is ten plus years ago. They also were able to
get a lot of testimony from prosecution witnesses that would

(03:12):
tend to refute some of the elements of the crimes
as charged. We know they're RICO six trafficking, and those
are different than maybe a domestic violence case would be.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, Monday, it's going down. The jury will begin deliberating
on charges that include racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting
individuals for prostitution. The music Moguls name that once echoed
through every black party in the nineteen nineties through today,
has pleaded not guilty to all counts and filing in
a powerful active remembrance and resistance. African American NBA star

(03:42):
and advocate for Everything Black Kyrie Irving has donated fifty
thousand dollars to the Timir Rice Foundation, a center created
by the late teen's mother, Samiria Rice, to pay homage
to her son's life and to uplift Cleveland's black youth.
The donation, made on what would have been Timir's twenty
third birthday, pushes the foundation close to it's goal of
transforming a historic building into a sanctuary for education, art,

(04:04):
and healing. Tamir, at twelve years old, was killed by
police in twenty fourteen while playing with this toy gun.
