| 0:00.0 | Good evening. We begin tonight with breaking news on President Trump's signature issue, |
| 0:04.4 | the border wall with Mexico. As you know, he's been trying to use money from the Pentagon |
| 0:08.0 | budget to build it late today. The Supreme Court in a five to four vote gave him the |
| 0:12.4 | green light at least while a lower court challenge to it proceeds. |
| 0:16.8 | Our panel, Brown, joins us now with reaction from the White House. I would certainly imagine |
| 0:20.5 | the president's got to be very happy about this rule. |

| 1:17.3 | president didn't have this authority. The groups had argued it violated the law with |
| 1:20.6 | the president did. But today, the Supreme Court overruled that, saying that the government |
