1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has struck down Trump's tariffs. The Supreme

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Court ruled six to three that the Trump sweeping tariffs

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: imposed under the nineteen seventy seven Emergency Powers law were

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: unconstitutional because the law doesn't authorize the president to levy

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: broad import taxes. You've got Chief Justice John Roberts who

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: wrote the only He wrote that only Congress has the

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: power to impose taxes and tariffs, and that the emergency

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: power statue Trump used don't explicitly allow tariffs. Now, this

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: ruling doesn't ban all tariffs, and you've got to imagine

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: that Trump's team is going to try some legal avenues,

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: of course, maneuvers to try to keep these tariffs in place.

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: But the broad use of emergency powers were rejected.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it was a six to three ruling.

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: And so the dissenters were who you would expect. It

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: was Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh. So that means that Justice

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Roberts and Amy, Tony Barrett, and Gorsich went with the

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: liberal justices on this move.

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Here.

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: Look, it was always a stretch when Donald Trump tried

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: to invoke this nineteen seventy seven you know, emergency international

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: emergency economic powers Act. It was always going to be

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: a stretch. And here here's what you're going to see.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: You're going to see a couple things here today from

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: conservative influence. You'll hear them bash the three conservative Supreme

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: Court justices that sided with the liberals on this. And

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: by the way, keep in mind, for the last several

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: years you've heard the liberals say nothing about except that

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is totally illegitimate. Both of those are

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of bs. I believe that the Supreme Court

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: looks at these things. Sure, they've got liberal and conservative bents,

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: but the vast majority of their decisions are done by

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: looking at the laws that are written, the actions that

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: are taken, and applying to them to the Constitution. And

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: I think that the Supreme Court got it right in

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: this specific instance. That nineteen seventy seven law was always

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: a stretch when Trump invoked it and tried to use

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: these tariffs. And now the problem that we're sitting with

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: here and again this is breaking news, so we don't

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: know how this is going to shake out in all

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: the specific details. What do we do with all the

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: tariffs that we collected? Right? How do you refund on that?

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's a total mess. I'll give you a

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: perfect example of it. I run a small business and

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: I have a lot of customers in Canada, and since

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: last year, I've been selling a lot of items to Canada.

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: They've been paying tariffs on all of that.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: So now you're going to have to pay those back.

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: But I never saw that money. The money didn't ever

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: come to me on that. And again the same thing.

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: They're going to be small businesses in other areas that

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: had to absorb these tariffs, and how are they going

52
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: to get that back, Not to mention these large international

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: companies that have been absorbing all of these tariffs. This

54
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: is going to be a mess to clean up.

55
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Well, it does reinforce the ruling constitutional principle that the

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: power belongs to the lawmakers, not one person in the

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: White House, and even strong presidents need clear authority from Congress.

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: And it's a lesson for both parties going forward.

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, both parties have been terrible at this over the

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: last several decades. Congress has completely abdicated so much of

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: their authority and given it over to the president. Democrats

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: have done it and Republicans have done it. The president

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: was never ever supposed to be this powerful, and go

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: back forty or fifty years, presidents weren't this powerful. Look,

65
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter talks about this all the time. He had

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: trouble dealing with both Republicans and Democrats when he was

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: president and had a lot a real hard time getting

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: anything that he wanted done. But since then Congress has

69
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: basically just said, hey, President, do whatever you want to do.

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: It's fine, it's cool with us. And the Supreme Court

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: has finally said, no, we've got three equal for its

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: separate branches of government.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, fraud use of emergency powers rejected from the Supreme

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Court
