Show Open:

• The real Mamdani emerged as soon as he was declared winner!

  • Megyn Kelly calls him a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
• Should Greenwich Village residents worry that they are going to be tossed off the roofs of buildings?
  • Mamdani claims that NYC will be a child-trans sanctuary. That does not jive with how Muslims treat those with varying sexual issues.

Panelist:

Segment Topic:

• THE fate of President Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs is now in the hands of the SCOTUS.
  • Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the Trump administration’s method for enacting the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax.
• There were 6 Takeaways from Supreme Court Hearing on Trump’s Tariffs: (The Epoch Times/Sam Dorman and Matthew Vadum)
  • The justices wrestled with how to view Congress’s language and whether Trump was encroaching on congressional authority.
  • Supreme Court justices appeared deeply skeptical about the legality of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump against most of the world’s nations.
  • Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer about the justification of the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax.
  • Lower courts say Trump lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs on imports from Canada, China, Mexico and other trade partners.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attended the arguments, Trump did not. (CNBC)
    • Should their apparent skepticism or tone in questioning be considered a NO vote?
  • Another embarrassing moment for the DEI Justice: Ketanji Brown Jackson, who confused Lincoln with Nixon.
  • The most critical issue for the country: Refund Process!
  • The justices discussed what would happen if the Supreme Court upholds the lower court rulings that struck down the tariffs.
    • Barrett said if the tariffs are invalidated, the reimbursement process “could be a mess.”
    • The Trump administration has collected nearly $90 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025 from the tariffs challenged in this case.
    • Justice Samuel Alito also discussed the complicated process should the court invalidate the tariffs, only for the Trump administration to impose new tariffs using different legal authorities, which would then likely be challenged and work through the court system again.
    • Alito posited that it might make more sense for the court to address whether section 338 of the Tariff Act may justify Trump’s tariffs so the court could “get it over with rather than having this continue for who knows how long while it goes … through the procedures in the lower courts.”
  • It is not clear when the court will release its ruling, but the Trump administration has asked for the decision to be expedited.

• Yesterday, the SCOTUS heard arguments that Trump tariffs are unconstitutional.
• We have heard the legal issues in the first segment, now let’s discuss the economic issues with the tariffs.
  • The tariffs have been an effective tool for the Administration to promote onshoring manufacturing.
  • The tariffs have not yet sown to be inflationary.
  • If the SCOTUS rules against Trump, what would paying back $90 billion dollars to foreign governments do to this country?
• If John Roberts calls tariffs a tax, why didn’t say so for Obamacare? Why was it OK for Obama to tax and not Trump?
• Some analysis of the election results blames the high cost of living for Dem wins in New Jersey, New York City and VA. What is the truth about the current state of the U.S. economy?
