00:00:00.000 And the Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a victory, at least for now, over deportation,
00:00:22.420 throwing out a district judge's ruling blocking the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act
00:00:28.480 to deport accused gang members.
00:00:30.520 U.S. District Judge James Bosberg, who issued the ruling, was supposed to hold another hearing on it today.
00:00:37.380 But that is now canceled.
00:00:39.420 Joining us now, MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin.
00:00:42.300 So the place is wrong.
00:00:45.780 They've got to refile this in Texas.
00:00:48.000 What does that mean?
00:00:49.080 Well, not only do they have to refile it in Texas, but one of the things, Kitty, that's unclear is whether or not this can proceed as a class action.
00:00:57.320 As originally filed, there were five plaintiffs.
00:01:01.180 They then asked Judge Bosberg to certify a class, meaning a group of people similarly situated,
00:01:07.600 but not necessarily people that you could individually name or who had been individually represented.
00:01:13.460 Now, not only do they have to file in their place of confinement, which for some of these people may be Texas and others may not,
00:01:21.340 but it's unclear whether they can sort of move together as a group.
00:01:24.840 The ACLU filing a new case today in the Southern District of New York on behalf of two of those five people,
00:01:30.760 who they say are no longer in Texas, but have been moved to custody in Orange County at a correctional facility here in the state of New York.
00:01:37.800 If it is filed in Texas, is there any chance that it ends up going to Judge Kaczmarek?
00:01:42.840 I'd have to think about that.
00:01:46.020 There is, I guess, some possibility.
00:01:49.000 I believe that Judge Kaczmarek sits in the Southern District of Texas.
00:01:52.220 As I'm sitting here, I'd have to look that up.
00:01:54.360 Sorry, I threw that out of nowhere.
00:01:55.980 I think overall, the tenor of your question, if I understand it, is are there likely to be judges in Texas who will be favorable to the Trump administration?
00:02:07.940 I would say the chances that they will encounter judges who are sympathetic to their point of view is much higher in Texas than it is in other places of the country,
00:02:16.500 which is why the ACLU's decision to file here in New York while they have two plaintiffs here is somewhat of a genius move.
00:02:24.360 Because, again, the court's ruling last night isn't so much about Texas.
00:02:27.700 It's about you have to file in the place of confinement.
00:02:31.320 If there are two people here at the time the habeas petition was filed, they are here.
00:02:36.060 The Southern District of New York is the right location for that lawsuit. 0.95
00:02:38.660 The Trump administration can now claim another legal win from the Supreme Court,
00:02:42.580 but today's ruling is not the final say on what will happen as 16,000 probationary workers fired from the federal workforce.
00:02:50.540 The nation's highest court backed the government's position and overturned a lower court ruling that ordered the employees be temporarily reinstated.
00:02:58.780 CNN's Paula Reid is here now with us to explain.
00:03:01.280 All right, Paula, break this ruling down for us. 1.00
00:03:03.520 Rihanna, this is just the latest in a string of wins for the Trump administration from the Supreme Court.
00:03:09.340 Here, the question was whether thousands of federal workers who were on probationary status,
00:03:15.340 so that meant they had recently gotten their job, they didn't have all the full protections that other federal workers have,
00:03:21.160 if they should remain on the payroll while the larger circumstances of their firing are litigated.
00:03:26.480 Now, a lower court ruling said that they should be reinstated, put back on the payroll.
00:03:30.940 But here, the Supreme Court disagreed.
00:03:33.440 So this is significant, but I also want to caveat that this was a technical decision.
00:03:39.080 The Supreme Court held that the unions that filed this specific lawsuit did not have what is called standing,
00:03:45.080 or the right to bring this particular lawsuit.
00:03:48.460 Now, while this is technical, this is still a win for the administration,
00:03:51.380 but it's unclear what it means for all the probationary workers who have lost their jobs,
00:03:56.640 because we've seen at least one other judge in Maryland rule that some other workers who are in probationary status needed to be reinstated.
00:04:04.240 They were not covered by the specific lawsuit.
00:04:07.060 But I will say that the Supreme Court has handed the administration several wins in recent days,
00:04:12.480 both related to their enforcement of immigration laws, even using sort of expansive executive power,
00:04:18.960 and also their efforts to cull the federal government.
00:04:21.840 But this will continue to go on, this litigation, because no court has answered that final question
00:04:27.660 on the merits about how these people were fired and whether it was legal.
00:04:32.160 But while many of these folks are kicked off the payroll, they will likely have to go and find other jobs,
00:04:37.260 which really helps the administration with their ultimate goal, which is to cull the federal government.
00:04:42.480 Tuesday, 8 April, Year of Alert 2025.
00:04:46.920 Let's go to Mike Davis.
00:04:48.040 Mike's at the White House, the Viceroy.
00:04:50.000 So, Mike, walk us through.
00:04:51.760 Are these two huge victories for us, sir?
00:04:56.880 We're getting major victories for the president and the executive branch of the Supreme Court.
00:05:03.100 The Supreme Court is correctly slapping down these activist judges who are trying to sabotage the president's core article,
00:05:11.520 to executive power.
00:05:12.900 They're putting these judges back into their place, like Judge Jeb Bosberg in D.C.,
00:05:20.340 who thinks he is going to expose and sabotage an ongoing military operation to get out of America
00:05:27.240 the most dangerous terrorist in the Western Hemisphere, Trende Aragua,
00:05:31.660 along with the MS-13 gangbangers.
00:05:34.840 And he just got pretty humiliated in this latest Supreme Court ruling.
00:05:41.100 You also have the Supreme Court ruling correctly that the president can fire probationary executive branch employees.
00:05:50.220 And frankly, you're going to see the Supreme Court hold that the president can fire any executive branch employee.
00:05:56.920 The Democrats for years have called this the unitary executive theory.
00:06:01.860 I call it Article II of the Constitution.
00:06:06.800 I want to go to this.
00:06:08.200 Now, Bosberg, because it makes him look kind of amateurish, the ACLU is gaming the system.
00:06:13.360 They're clearly judge shopping, right?
00:06:15.340 They want to go to the friendliest courts.
00:06:16.980 The Supreme Court said today—I mean, what did they really say about Trump as—because this is the one that goes to him as commander-in-chief.
00:06:26.780 They said you have to file in the jurisdiction, so can the ACLU now go back and file in Texas, as MSNBC was talking about?
00:06:35.500 They did rule out the possibility of this bogus thing that they're trying to make it a class
00:06:39.860 so that everybody that was on the plane or everybody that went to that prison can join in this.
00:06:44.260 But did they actually back Trump as commander-in-chief or just say, you went judge shopping and we're not going to allow that, sir?
00:06:52.720 It's both.
00:06:53.740 The president, as the commander-in-chief, has a constitutional duty to repel an invasion of our country.
00:07:00.400 And the court made clear here that a D.C. activist judge, Jeb Bosberg, is not the proper judge.
00:07:07.620 It's not the proper court to decide these matters.
00:07:09.720 If you are one of these terrorists sent to El Salvador, you can file a habeas petition in the southern district of Texas from where those planes took off.
00:07:20.560 You don't get to go pick a random Democrat activist judge in D.C. who's going to do these legal gymnastics 0.96
00:07:27.280 and try to undo the president's power as commander-in-chief.
00:07:31.580 So what do you think happens with this one?
00:07:35.800 Do you think ACLU will try to file again and will go through this again?
00:07:39.480 Or do you think they understand that the Supreme Court's kind of ruled and they don't want to deal with this nonsense?
00:07:43.700 I would say to them, good luck.
00:07:48.220 I mean, you're going to have minimal due process that's required for these terrorists.
00:07:53.140 You just have to confirm that, yeah, they're here illegally. 0.83
00:07:57.000 And, yeah, they're part of Trende Aragua.
00:07:59.400 And, yeah, Trende Aragua is tied to Venezuela.
00:08:02.720 The president made that finding.
00:08:04.080 That's not reviewable.
00:08:05.560 The only issue is whether they're part of Trende Aragua.
00:08:07.980 And when you have Trende Aragua tattoos across your chest, that's a pretty good sign that you're part of Trende Aragua.
00:08:16.220 Now, how does this tie to the one the other night where we had until midnight or they're going to be held in contempt that the guy had to be turned back over?
00:08:23.240 Does that flow into this decision today from the Supreme Court about these terrorist organizations?
00:08:30.460 Yeah, the Supreme Court stayed that decision.
00:08:33.020 And so that those facts were better for the plaintiffs than the Trende Aragua fact.
00:08:39.200 So it was pretty obvious where the Supreme Court was going to go on Trende Aragua.
00:08:43.240 Here's the bottom line.
00:08:44.340 The American people elected President Trump to seal our border and get these dangerous illegal immigrants, including foreign terrorists, the hell out of our country. 1.00
00:08:55.980 And the president is doing what he promised American voters he's going to do.
00:08:59.460 And these activist judges are not going to stop him.
00:09:03.020 Mike, what about the second?
00:09:06.040 Now, the second aspect of the unitary executive theory is or the first is he's chief executive.
00:09:11.080 He can he can he can impound money.
00:09:13.200 He can let people go.
00:09:15.760 Congress has been fighting this.
00:09:16.960 They've gone to the courts on all of this.
00:09:18.920 What did the courts really tell us today?
00:09:20.620 The Supreme Court about his his powers under Article two to basically be chief executive.
00:09:28.520 Look, these cases should be nine to nothing.
00:09:30.860 It's very clear that the president is exercising core Article two executive power.
00:09:36.300 He's not stealing legislative power from Congress under Article one.
00:09:40.080 He's not stealing the Supreme Court's judicial power under Article three.
00:09:43.760 The president has a constitutional duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed.
00:09:49.260 That means that he's going to enforce our immigration laws.
00:09:52.320 He's going to repel an invasion of foreign terrorists like Trande Aragua and MS-13 gangbangers.
00:09:59.140 He's going to go after waste, fraud and abuse.
00:10:02.080 He's doing exactly what he promised Americans he would do.
00:10:05.740 And he's doing it very effectively.
00:10:10.520 Mike, hang on for one second.
00:10:12.140 I want to go to I got another clip.
00:10:14.260 There was another ruling today by a federal court about constitutionality of actions.
00:10:18.340 President Trump has taken.
00:10:19.220 Let's go and play that.
00:10:20.060 And I'll come bring you back in.
00:10:22.180 Some breaking news for you now.
00:10:23.160 A ruling in that lawsuit by the Associated Press against the Trump administration over the ban on access to certain parts of the White House.
00:10:31.640 CNN's Brian Stelter, our media reporters here.
00:10:33.680 Brian, this judge, we should note, is a Trump appointee.
00:10:36.780 What did he decide?
00:10:39.240 That's right.
00:10:39.880 He says the White House ban against the AP is unconstitutional because it's a form of viewpoint discrimination.
00:10:46.060 However, this judge did not immediately restore the AP's access.
00:10:49.720 Associated Press reporters will not be allowed back in tomorrow necessarily.
00:10:53.740 He delayed his order for one week, expecting an appeal from the White House as this case goes on.
00:10:59.300 But the AP had been asking for immediate relief because this blockade was put into effect back in February by the Trump White House.
00:11:06.700 This case stems from Trump telling the government to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
00:11:12.180 The AP has customers around the world, including in Mexico.
00:11:14.880 So it still says Gulf of Mexico, while also acknowledging Trump's order of Gulf of America.
00:11:20.660 The Trump White House objected to the AP's editorial decision making.
00:11:24.340 They started keeping the AP out of small press events in the Oval Office, also big press conferences, and banned the AP from Air Force One.
00:11:32.200 Basically, the AP is no longer a part of the press pool.
00:11:34.900 The Trump White House also took over the press pool and now chooses who's allowed in on any given day.
00:11:39.200 So the AP filed suit in federal court, and this judge, Trevor McFadden, he has now ruled in the past few minutes, saying he's issuing a narrow ruling here, saying that the government offers no other plausible explanation for its treatment of the AP.
00:11:52.060 The Constitution forbids viewpoint discrimination, even in a non-public forum like the Oval Office.
00:11:57.440 He's saying you don't have to let everybody in, but if you're going to let some journalists in, you can't discriminate against the AP just because of their point of view.
00:12:04.380 In this case, the point of view is that the Gulf of Mexico is the name known in other countries, and of course, that is true.
00:12:11.480 This has been a quandary for news outlets that are fearing a slippery slope.
00:12:14.700 But for now, at least today, the AP winning in court, Jake.
00:12:20.320 Mike, one thing I want to bring up in your response to this is that, folks, the president's trying to do the trade deals.
00:12:27.080 He's trying to do the geopolitical realignment besides the economic realignment.
00:12:31.380 He's got so much on his plate.
00:12:33.700 I've never seen more lawsuits.
00:12:35.460 I think there are over 100 lawsuits now in federal courts.
00:12:38.280 I think there's seven alone on Voice of America, Carrie Lake tells me.
00:12:42.120 This is just another one.
00:12:43.560 What is your assessment of this ruling today?
00:12:45.440 And put it in the context of just a bombardment.
00:12:48.640 I don't even know how DOJ is fielding attorneys to go in and argue all these cases, sir.
00:12:56.120 Look, I love Judge Trevor McFadden.
00:12:58.220 He's a good guy.
00:12:58.920 I don't know if this case will get upheld on appeal or not.
00:13:01.880 But I like that President Trump is showing these institutions in Washington, whether they are the law firms, the media, the non-government organizations, the NGOs.
00:13:13.960 He's showing them there is a new sheriff in town.
00:13:16.520 He's not going to play by the D.C.
00:13:18.840 Uniparty's rules.
00:13:20.100 And there are going to be consequences.
00:13:21.340 He's learned his lessons from his first term.
00:13:25.800 And he's not going to let the D.C. swamp chew him up and spit him out.
00:13:33.280 Mike, on President Trump's tariffs, and particularly relating to China and really where he's throwing down hard,
00:13:39.880 the Guardian's reporting that a massive lawsuits are coming, funded by the Kochs and by Leonard Leo's new operation.
00:13:48.460 You started and kind of, you know, when you left the government, you did the Internet Accountability Project.
00:13:53.640 You understand the tech bros and people that support them and the libertarians hate what President Trump's trying to do on the trade war and on tariffs.
00:14:02.800 Where is this now?
00:14:03.740 How do we hold off an attack on the right?
00:14:07.460 Because my understanding is I did some checking this afternoon to say that the Kochs and Leonard Leo, etc.,
00:14:12.560 are going to field a number of lawsuits to try to grind President Trump down, as the left is also.
00:14:20.120 The president has the power to do what he's doing.
00:14:23.680 He's exercising that power just like he promised American voters he would do before they gave him a sweeping electoral mandate.
00:14:31.160 The president is tired of America getting ripped off by these foreign countries. 1.00
00:14:37.260 We're paying for their defense.
00:14:39.860 We have trade deficits with these countries.
00:14:42.380 The president is trying to level the playing field.
00:14:45.640 If NATO, if Europe wants us to pay for their NATO defense, they need to give us a better deal on trade.
00:14:55.180 Mike, last thing I want to talk to you about today.
00:14:58.000 People have been all over me about because people have been calling the offices, right, directly contacting offices.
00:15:04.580 And they're saying a lot of the congressmen, particularly people should be the know, saying, hey, I have no idea what's going on.
00:15:09.500 Judiciary Committee.
00:15:10.360 I have no idea what's going on with these judges.
00:15:12.500 Is it still your belief, as it is the war room, that we must begin hearings on Bozburg?
00:15:18.140 We must begin hearings on Barrow Howell.
00:15:20.220 If that's the case, what's your recommendation?
00:15:22.460 What do we do?
00:15:23.000 There's no question that the House Judiciary Committee must open impeachment proceedings on Judge Jeb Bozburg,
00:15:32.440 this radical Obama judge who exposed and sabotaged an ongoing military operation putting American and allied lives in grave danger,
00:15:42.180 undermined the president's ability to conduct foreign affairs,
00:15:45.540 and even ordered planes to turn around full of foreign terrorists.
00:15:50.360 That is unacceptable.
00:15:51.560 Judge Jeb Bozburg crossed the red line.
00:15:54.520 Even after the Supreme Court slapped him down,
00:15:57.320 he thinks he's going to move forward with contempt proceedings against Trump officials.
00:16:02.680 Hell no.
00:16:03.300 This is the red line.
00:16:04.320 So the war room posse needs to go to article3project.org, article3project.org, and take action.
00:16:11.660 And the action item is to light up both of your home state senators and your U.S. House representative
00:16:17.540 and tell them to open impeachment proceedings on D.C. Obama Judge Jeb Bozburg.
00:16:23.920 Bozburg the clown.
00:16:25.080 You would think that after this ruling today about President Trump as commander in chief,
00:16:32.420 is it still your belief that he's going to proceed?
00:16:34.480 I know he's asked for papers for filings.
00:16:36.580 He's still going to proceed on the contempt charge about did they follow his order at 5.15 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday afternoon?
00:16:46.520 You still think he's going to go forward with that?
00:16:48.080 Yes, and that's why the war room posse needs to put maximum pressure through both of their home state senators 1.00
00:16:56.640 and their U.S. House rep at article3project.org, take action now to put pressure on Congress to get Jeb Bozburg to back down.
00:17:05.780 Because if he holds Trump administration officials in contempt, he's going to take the judiciary over the cliff.
00:17:14.280 Mike Davis, your social media also, we know where to go to Article 3.
00:17:17.540 Where do they go to follow you?
00:17:20.800 M-R-D-D-M-I-A. 0.99
00:17:23.480 M-R-D-D-M-I-A. 0.99
00:17:25.400 And thank you, Steve.
00:17:28.000 Thank you, Mike Davis, live from the White House.
00:17:31.180 I'm sure that either Lawrence or Donald or Rachel Maddow or Chris Hayes, one of them will definitely respond to Mike Davis being on the White House.
00:17:42.860 They melted down last week when I was over at the Justice Department.
00:17:46.220 You heard Mike Davis right there.
00:17:48.280 So let's do a reset on what the war against Trump, the war against MAGA, the war against President Trump's policies.
00:17:53.340 If you just go back to the three lines, the number one is national security, which President Trump is redoing the entire geopolitical outlook of the United States, and particularly the weight of gravity of where our national security is going to be away from the Eurasian landmass and towards a hemispheric defense.
00:18:14.580 Rahim Kassam is down with Pete Hegseth today in Panama.
00:18:20.300 Rahim's going to be with him for a couple of days.
00:18:22.620 We're going to look to get a report there.
00:18:25.020 Also, Pete came out with a trillion dollar budget.
00:18:27.180 This turns to the reconciliation of it all.
00:18:29.960 You know, I can't make hiding or hair of this.
00:18:32.300 I've gotten a lot of negative feedback, although people are trying to still push it.
00:18:35.900 There is no vote, I don't think, scheduled tomorrow unless it wasn't until when I was getting ready for the show right beforehand.
00:18:43.340 But the reconciliation right now is kind of very ill-defined because it's hard to understand what's the debt ceiling level, when's it going to kick in.
00:18:51.820 And we do know Semaphore's got an incredible story up about President Trump telling senators for the first time he's open to actually raising the rate.
00:19:02.360 It's called a snapback on the upper bracket.
00:19:04.580 It would go, I think, from 37 percent to 39 percent.
00:19:07.540 Or there's some discussion of creating a whole new class at a million dollars and above, and I think that would be at 39 or 40 percent.
00:19:14.720 So there's a bunch of discussions there, but for the first time, they got confirmation that President Trump's actually been in this conversation.
00:19:21.140 It's been more than some of the people working at a treasury in other places that the president's actually said that, and that's huge.
00:19:28.200 So you've got this entire trade and the reorganization of the trading patterns, the trading laws, tariffs.
00:19:38.600 But it's more than just tariffs.
00:19:39.780 It's also non-tariff barriers.
00:19:42.040 It is currency manipulation.
00:19:45.240 There's a tweet up right now.
00:19:47.760 I don't know if the staff's gotten it to Denver already, but this is somebody put a tweet.
00:19:54.280 I think Zero Hedge put a tweet up earlier saying Scott Besson in his early, when he came out of school, when he was working for Soros,
00:20:02.860 he and Drunken Miller were actually working the trading desk.
00:20:05.860 That's when they took down the Bank of England.
00:20:07.960 That's in 1992.
00:20:09.160 And now he's taking down the People's Bank of China in the 2000s.
00:20:15.880 There it is right there.
00:20:17.160 There's something to that.
00:20:18.960 President Trump in the trade war, the center of gravity, I mean, the weekend FT, I've held this up a couple of times for the simple reason the FT kind of got it, I think,
00:20:26.760 immediately, that the center of gravity of this is China.
00:20:30.740 And the reason is that the Wall Street people and the people that you see right now that are gnashing their teeth the most are the same hedge funds,
00:20:37.320 the same private equity people that transferred, that really put the money up and supported the transfers of the factories.
00:20:45.340 As the trade rep said today, five million high-paying manufacturing jobs.
00:20:51.060 Five million high-paying manufacturing jobs followed the removal of our industrial base to China.
00:21:00.160 The people yammering about this the most, the people pulling their hair out the most are the Wall Street,
00:21:04.220 are the sociopathic overlords of easy money on Wall Street.
00:21:09.120 And President Trump has dug in here, and particularly in China.
00:21:11.720 He told people at the beginning, don't, when I put on this reciprocity, the formula, and you may not agree with the formula,
00:21:18.100 but the formula is about and includes these following things, and that's why people are coming over here, South Korea, Japan, India.
00:21:25.180 Israel was there yesterday.
00:21:26.260 Israel, my understanding is, BB asked, hey, I need this held in the bay and she can't do this. 0.96
00:21:30.560 And President Trump said, hey, it's, you know, the reciprocity, I think, is 15 or 17 percent, and it's coming.
00:21:35.340 Now, tomorrow, I think all, unless I hear otherwise on people that are already in negotiations,
00:21:42.220 I think the reciprocal tariffs kick in at midnight on the 9th.
00:21:46.480 Definitely the 104 percent for China kicks in tonight.
00:21:49.800 They've reiterated that at the White House.
00:21:51.940 And the Chinese Communist Party is apoplectic.
00:21:54.700 Many of the best China watchers throughout the day have said, hey, this could destroy the Chinese Communist Party,
00:22:00.320 could destroy the Chinese Communist Party's stranglehold on the Chinese people.
00:22:04.640 Their economy, besides all the phony numbers they put out, their economy is really on a knife's edge.
00:22:09.760 And what it can't take is the United States finally standing up for itself and saying, no, we can't let this go on.
00:22:16.120 The trade deficit, I think, with China at $600 or $700 billion this year, I believe that was last fiscal year that ended September 30th.
00:22:24.580 This year, we're seeing a new trade deficit, I think, every month.
00:22:27.940 December was outrageous.
00:22:29.160 So was January.
00:22:29.860 And President Trump's saying the annual total trade deficit, I think it's $1.2 trillion.
00:22:34.980 They're mentioning the total trade deficit is $25 trillion.
00:22:38.420 And that is not an accounting convention.
00:22:40.600 The people that argue the Wall Street point of view all the time say, well, money's fungible and that's accounting convention.
00:22:45.300 No.
00:22:45.500 People's salaries, their time, the monetization of their time and assets, the monetization of assets goes to China to pay for this.
00:22:56.980 And China owns the factories.
00:22:58.240 And this is how they've been able to become the rise as an industrial power.
00:23:03.260 And the global elites did this.
00:23:04.660 China couldn't have done it on their own. 0.85
00:23:06.620 This was done with Wall Street.
00:23:08.120 This was done with the city of London.
00:23:09.480 This was done with the political class, both in the U.K. and the United States and the media.
00:23:15.340 They were all very happy about this and kind of cheered it on and finally got such that you had gutted the United States of America.
00:23:21.760 You had gutted the industrial base.
00:23:22.980 You had gutted the American working class families and the middle class with it. 1.00
00:23:28.000 This is why the country, they say the country's wealthy.
00:23:30.080 Well, the wealth is very concentrated because of the financialization of what went on.
00:23:34.500 It's very, very, very concentrated.
00:23:35.800 And it's not spread out.
00:23:38.540 The wealth is in the hands of the few, not the many.
00:23:43.380 In fact, I keep arguing you have a capitalist system or a quasi-capitalist system with no capitalist.
00:23:48.840 50% of the population doesn't own anything, has no ownership of either real assets or no ownership of financial assets.
00:23:57.020 And virtually, I think it's 60% of the population can't put their hands on $1,000.
00:24:02.280 In a case of an emergency, if they had to put their hands on $1,000 cash money, they can't do it.
00:24:06.980 You cannot continue to live in a system like this.
00:24:10.660 At 7 o'clock tonight, you're going to have, what, Peter Schiff and Spencer Morrison debate on President Trump's trade deals.
00:24:18.660 And given the kind of preamble we did this morning, I think it's going to be a quite lively debate.
00:24:23.120 Remember, Spencer's kind of new on the scene.
00:24:25.200 He's been doing this for years.
00:24:26.840 But his new book, Reshoring, has kind of taken off because it came out at the exact time.
00:24:30.540 That's what President Trump's talking about, is reshoring these jobs back here.
00:24:34.400 So a couple of things we're going to do in the next half hour.
00:24:37.060 I'm going to do a run-up and kind of a preamble.
00:24:39.500 We're going to be streaming it.
00:24:40.640 It's going to be up on Zero Hedge.
00:24:42.540 This will be quite the debate.
00:24:43.740 I'm glad it's happening.
00:24:44.680 I'm glad it's happening tonight.
00:24:45.860 And I'm glad the folks were able to pull it together.
00:24:48.200 I really want to thank the folks at Zero Hedge.
00:24:50.800 It's one of my favorite sites.

00:31:03.380 We just had Liberation Day, but many Americans are concerned that prices are going to go up.
00:31:21.560 Americans, okay, stop. 0.98
00:31:22.620 This is just the only reason people have any concern at all is because the running dog for the capitalists on Wall Street in the Lords of Easy Money media continues to go on with this false narrative that prices are going to go up, stock market's going to crash, everything's going to happen over and over and over again without looking at any evidence.
00:31:40.340 We put some of the strictest tariffs ever on China in 17 and 18, and prices didn't go up at all on Chinese product.
00:31:49.080 This is just a false, another false narrative put out by the media.
00:31:53.100 It's the same as all the lies they're told about the pandemic, all the lies they're told about the Ukraine, all the lies they're told about the Seoul election.
00:31:59.440 I could go on and on and on and on.
00:32:01.900 The only people who worked up, did the market crash today?
00:32:04.680 No, did not.
00:32:06.080 You have a sorting out of things.
00:32:07.880 I didn't say it was not going to be any turbulence.
00:32:10.380 Didn't have any crash.
00:32:11.640 Didn't have gold blow through the roof.
00:32:13.400 Nothing that was prophesied yesterday.
00:32:16.360 And look, Trump went hard.
00:32:21.760 And it shows, I think, to the world he's not a maximalist.
00:32:24.960 I was always for the reciprocity.
00:32:26.940 But the reciprocity has a maximalist side where you just go and match whatever your analysis shows.
00:32:32.120 He was also thinking there was tension around with President Trump to just do tiered at 20%.
00:32:36.500 He did do reciprocity, which I thought was very important, to show the American people how people have abused the United States of America and American companies.
00:32:45.620 And if they steal 2028, or for some reason we don't prevail, which will be them stealing it, Trump, they're going to put Trump back on trial for prison.
00:32:53.720 They're going to put me back in prison.
00:32:54.880 I think every day I said, hey, this thing's all or nothing.
00:32:58.160 Just because we had this tremendous victory in November, October at the time, they're all partying.
00:33:02.080 Oh, this is great.
00:33:02.900 And everybody's running around.
00:33:03.920 I got a MAGA hat now.
00:33:04.880 And I said, hey, that's fine.
00:33:06.160 But understand, we're at war.
00:33:07.640 They come in from this town we had here at Butterworth.
00:33:10.780 We had four parties during the—and we were low-key.
00:33:13.440 We had four parties during the inauguration, packed every night, people in ball gowns.
00:33:18.520 I said, guys, tomorrow we've got to go to work or at war.
00:33:22.140 It's now a wake-up call.
00:33:24.380 We're at the top of the first inning, like in England.
00:33:26.860 We're at the top of the first inning of this.
00:33:28.580 This has taken 50, 60, 70 years to get this bad.
00:33:32.960 It's not going to be turned around.
00:33:34.020 A guy like—even a guy like Donald Trump, as powerful as he is, as focused as he is,
00:33:39.360 as admired as he is, as big as the movement, we struggle every day.
00:33:43.200 And this story is—the final chapter in the story is far from being written.
00:33:47.520 You talk about declaring economic war on the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:51.300 But these tariffs—
00:33:51.860 I think we did.
00:33:52.280 —these tariffs also impacted or perhaps even declared economic war on your own allies,
00:33:56.860 the European Union, Britain, Canada.
00:33:57.760 Who are the—give me the allies again.
00:33:59.280 Who are the allies?
00:34:00.280 Here's where I consider it.
00:34:01.180 Here's where I consider it.
00:34:01.880 Here's where I consider it.
00:34:01.920 Here's where I consider it.
00:34:02.400 I am so insulted by you using the term allies.
00:34:07.060 Allies is supposed to be somebody in something together.
00:34:09.620 The European elites are total and complete deadbeats.
00:34:13.620 I was the guy on point in the first administration that had to be a supplicant to ask you guys,
00:34:17.900 would you please consider getting up to the two and two and a half percent that you committed
00:34:21.820 after you forced your way into Ukraine in 2014?
00:34:24.940 You realized you were going to have a fight on your hands.
00:34:26.660 You actually realized we have to get to two percent or two and a half percent, which none
00:34:31.060 of you did.
00:34:31.680 Only the Brits came close and later the Poles. 0.67
00:34:34.700 And if you look at really, and particularly the Germans, the Italians, some of these people 1.00
00:34:37.540 are horrible.
00:34:38.140 The French, if you actually look at where the defense budget goes, it's not going to 0.78
00:34:41.960 combined arms operation.
00:34:43.860 It's not going to maneuvers.
00:34:45.660 It's not going to—
00:34:46.060 It would go into pensions.
00:34:47.580 It would go into pensions or women's health care or climate change. 0.96
00:34:52.580 Climate change is a big one.
00:34:53.620 It's all phony.
00:34:54.440 It's all fake.
00:34:55.880 You haven't been an ally forever.
00:34:57.260 You can't pull your weight.
00:34:58.780 If you took the United States out of Western Europe today militarily, the whole thing would 0.92
00:35:02.620 collapse.
00:35:03.240 We're the infrastructure and the backbone of everything.
00:35:05.980 It's completely unacceptable.
00:35:07.880 This is why they praised Joe Biden.
00:35:09.260 If you read the new books coming out by Joe Biden, own chiefs of staff, they had to tell
00:35:13.660 him, hey, you're not the president of NATO, because he kept sitting there babbling.
00:35:17.060 Well, you know, the NATO guys really love me.
00:35:18.660 They love me.
00:35:19.100 Of course, you're giving them everything.
00:35:21.100 The Western European people must understand that their elites have not been allies to the
00:35:26.900 United States.
00:35:27.380 You've looked at the burden of everything, of manpower, right, of defense.
00:35:31.080 Right now, you call yourself an ally?
00:35:33.940 In the Red Sea right now, we have two carrier battle groups.
00:35:37.020 That's about 24,000 sailors doing airstrikes on the Houthis to keep the Red Sea open, to
00:35:45.460 keep the Suez Canal open, to keep trade going to Europe so your prices don't explode.
00:35:50.640 And you know what we have down there?
00:35:52.020 Last I saw, you have, I think, one British destroyer, one French frigate, one Italian
00:35:58.260 Corvette.
00:35:59.400 You don't even take seriously your own thing.
00:36:01.160 So how can we take you seriously?
00:36:02.260 You're not allies.
00:36:03.140 You don't act like allies.
00:36:04.340 What you do is you bitch and you moan when the United States says, hey, look, we just 1.00
00:36:09.480 can't do this forever.
00:36:10.380 We have a trillion dollar defense budget and we've got to cut the defense budget.
00:36:13.620 We're going to cut spending because we have a two trillion dollar deficit every year.
00:36:18.740 So I appreciate GB News.
00:36:21.920 That's like the second or third time they've had me for an interview.
00:36:24.980 And those interviews you can't do on British television.
00:36:28.340 I mean, they're in British television, but they get a lot of blowback.
00:36:31.240 The restrictions on free speech are so strenuous in in Great Britain that it's very tough even
00:36:39.420 to put that up there when you talk straight to them.
00:36:41.880 And this goes back to what President Trump is dealing with.
00:36:44.560 Like you talk on the on the on the trade situation.
00:36:49.520 They've gained the system in the Germans on the cars. 0.97
00:36:51.760 They've gained the system entirely in administration after administration.
00:36:55.760 Look, the other way Biden and these guys are the worst.
00:36:57.480 They gave NATO and they gave the Western Europeans everything.
00:37:01.160 If you're going to be an ally, why is it our burden for your defense?
00:37:05.840 Why have you never stood up?
00:37:06.980 And the reason is your population wants state health care.
00:37:12.740 They want lower college education.
00:37:15.440 They want they want early retirements in the 50s or early 60s on full pensions.
00:37:21.780 And and you want those six week vacations in the summer.
00:37:25.800 I got it.
00:37:26.940 I'm not saying that's wrong.
00:37:28.560 If you can do that and also provide for your defense, particularly when you're the ones pushing
00:37:33.620 into Ukraine constantly from 2014 on.
00:37:38.140 If you do that and want to pay for it, that's fine.
00:37:40.860 But why are you dragging us into it?
00:37:42.660 And here's the reason the Atlanticist, the Atlanticist.
00:37:48.440 And I don't want to say this is racial, but hello, the Atlanticist, the people in the Atlantic
00:37:54.400 Council, they're just all over the biggest thing in the world.
00:37:56.360 It's not the biggest thing in the world.
00:37:58.820 It's not the biggest thing in the world.
00:38:00.400 You add on top of that in the Red Sea, we're funding that entire deal and putting our sailors 0.97
00:38:06.080 in harm's way.
00:38:08.160 Hell, we had was an F-16 has already been shot down.
00:38:10.780 They've lost more.
00:38:12.860 I think it was two F-16s were shot.
00:38:14.800 One was definitely shot down.
00:38:15.820 I think the pods may reject the others.
00:38:18.460 I might add that this is the first casualty President Trump had in the first term was around
00:38:22.820 was around Yemen.
00:38:26.400 This is why our budget's a trillion dollars.
00:38:29.140 Pete Hexas is out there.
00:38:30.120 Pete Hexas is in Panama.
00:38:32.640 And why is Pete Hexas in Panama?
00:38:34.920 Why two weeks ago did Pete Hexas go to first, Hawaii, second to Guam.
00:38:40.780 Third to the Philippines and to Japan.
00:38:43.360 That's called the three island chain.
00:38:45.400 That's the hemispheric defense of the United States.
00:38:47.940 It starts there.
00:38:49.440 The vast Pacific and the Pacific is half the globe.
00:38:53.920 It's half the globe.
00:38:55.140 When you actually take a globe and look and you turn it, you've got, if you see the earth
00:38:58.820 turn, anytime you're seeing a shot from the moon, when it turns away from the Eurasian
00:39:04.320 landmass and it's on the Pacific, all you've got is blue, baby.
00:39:08.540 It's ocean.
00:39:09.980 That ocean is in the national defense of the United States.
00:39:12.340 This is why President Trump has got J.D. Vance up in Greenland, going there to the military
00:39:18.660 base.
00:39:19.560 Whatever alliance or whatever we work out with Greenland, those submarine bases will block
00:39:24.460 in the Russian Navy, up in Archangel and Mermans.
00:39:28.460 They can't come through unless we can track them.
00:39:30.960 That's why Pete Hexas is down in Panama.
00:39:34.720 That's why Larry Fink has gone ahead and bought from Hutchinson and Juan Paula the kind of
00:39:38.940 stevedore or port running operation of which the Chinese Communist Party just thwarted.
00:39:43.980 The Chinese Communist Party has stopped two deals in the last couple of days.
00:39:47.920 Number one, they came with Hutchinson and Juan Paula and said, absolutely no way do you sell
00:39:51.180 that.
00:39:52.060 You're not going to sell that to the Americans.
00:39:54.320 In addition, I think yesterday or last night, they put a kibosh on TikTok, no sale of TikTok.
00:40:00.020 They're all tying it in to the trade deal.
00:40:03.620 And hey, tonight at midnight at 104%, that'll get their attention.
00:40:08.440 The People's Bank of China is under tremendous pressure right now.
00:40:12.380 The currency is under tremendous pressure.
00:40:13.980 They just put an announcement as we came on air that these companies, and remember all the
00:40:19.420 companies that are associated with the Chinese Communist Party, the companies had to come
00:40:22.140 out and say publicly, as markets open, because the market's opening right now in Tokyo and
00:40:26.720 very quickly will spread to Shanghai and Hong Kong, which had gotten crushed, the companies
00:40:31.440 came out and said, we are going to go in and buy stock.
00:40:34.480 And the Chinese just will get the printing press up. 0.99
00:40:37.640 Now, they're not the private reserve currency, so it really hurts when they do this.
00:40:42.320 They're teetering.
00:40:43.600 They're teetering.
00:40:44.460 And they've talked a big game.
00:40:46.080 They've challenged the United States.
00:40:47.260 They're all over the Caribbean.
00:40:48.900 There's things going on in Cuba.
00:40:50.520 There's some classified stuff going on down there.
00:40:52.240 If you knew it, your head would blow up.
00:40:54.480 Your head would blow up of what they're trying to do and how they're, quite frankly, in many
00:40:58.720 regards, and I'm not saying they're putting nuclear weapons down in Cuba, but they're doing 0.86
00:41:03.960 things in the Bahamas and Cuba and all those islands down there, which they spent the last
00:41:09.380 10 and 15 years building up.
00:41:11.840 That is not in America's national security interest.
00:41:14.040 This is why Pete Hex is in Panama.
00:41:17.060 We're going to take control of that canal.
00:41:18.640 That's happening.
00:41:19.940 Okay?
00:41:20.220 President Trump, that's happening.
00:41:21.960 And to control that, remember, the lease and the deal was, hey, you've got to manage
00:41:26.140 it in kind of in our best interest, and you have not.
00:41:30.680 The elites in Panama sold out directly to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:41:34.380 This is what they do.
00:41:35.020 The Chinese Communist Party comes in, and it's basically predatory capitalism and elite capture. 0.85
00:41:40.360 They capture elites, and they capture elites in Great Britain and in Europe and in the
00:41:45.300 islands.
00:41:46.320 So this is why we have such a problem down in the southern part of the Third Island chain.
00:41:50.640 This is what Cleo Pascal has been talking about.
00:41:52.860 The things that your grandfathers fought for to basically fight across the Pacific is all
00:41:58.880 being given up now as the Chinese Communist Party is there.
00:42:01.140 So the Chinese Communist Party at midnight got a big old problem.
00:42:04.600 And President Trump's not trying to back down, and we had Forrest Cho on this morning from
00:42:11.160 the new federal state of China, and we are going to do a, we're going to do something
00:42:15.000 very big for June for Tiananmen Square to have a conference in Washington, D.C.
00:42:20.640 We'll get more about that later that everybody can attend because we want all the war and 0.96
00:42:24.620 posse to show up, and we're going to do somewhere in central Washington so it's easy access to
00:42:30.020 everybody.
00:42:30.280 But we want to lay out the fact of, like Forrest said today, the Chinese Communist Party is
00:42:34.620 going to fight back, and they're going to fight back hard because they understand the
00:42:38.140 control, the illegitimate control of the Chinese people of La Beijing in the Chinese nation,
00:42:44.460 of which they have a huge legitimacy problem.
00:42:47.440 Why do they have a legitimacy problem?
00:42:49.720 Well, after fighting as a revolutionary cause, they really didn't technically win.
00:42:54.660 They kind of got over top of the Kuomintang, and Kuomintang, one of the armies, collapsed,
00:42:58.680 and they were going to retreat, but it was essentially handed to them, control of the
00:43:02.760 nation was handed to them by General Marshall and the State Department with the sign-off
00:43:07.860 for the White House.
00:43:08.520 This is what the whole McCarthy, McCarthy and all those guys came to power, all that was
00:43:13.360 about who lost China.
00:43:14.480 How did this happen?
00:43:15.900 The Chinese had been a huge ally of us in World War II, and America had a history and
00:43:20.660 a relationship with China since the Clipper ship days.
00:43:24.700 And then the religious, you know, the massive missionary effort put forward principally coming
00:43:30.660 out of England and coming out of the United States with the missionaries.
00:43:34.040 So the Americans always had this very close relationship with the Chinese, and all of a 1.00
00:43:39.200 sudden, next thing you know, the Chinese Communist Party is kind of running the deal.
00:43:42.940 Just like the Bolsheviks, a kind of a super minority party. 0.88
00:43:46.660 Never really put forward any kind of elections.
00:43:48.660 Never really had legitimacy.
00:43:49.760 They're worrying about Wanxi, Sean, and their senior guys now think every day, they're worried
00:43:54.420 every day about this legitimacy issue.
00:43:56.740 And who gives them legitimacy?
00:43:58.220 The sociopathic overlords on Wall Street, the same guys that ship the jobs over.
00:44:04.240 Why do you think we have Brian Costello on here on Sequoia Capital all the time?
00:44:08.540 The fix is in the capital market, the capital providers, venture capital, private equity,
00:44:13.160 the Wall Street public markets, all went to China to give China access, give China access,
00:44:20.940 the Chinese Communist Party access to American capital, particularly equity and debt capital
00:44:25.260 markets.
00:44:26.700 The equity capital markets here is not retail driven.
00:44:29.540 It's institution driven.
00:44:30.600 What I mean by institution, I mean that's a fancy name for your pension fund.
00:44:34.680 So this is the tragic part of it.
00:44:37.020 You financed it.
00:44:38.440 Your tax money financed part of it.
00:44:40.280 And your pension funds financed the others because people who were fiduciaries, i.e.
00:44:45.220 the people that ran the U.S. government and people that ran the hedge funds were supposed
00:44:48.600 to do it in your favor.
00:44:50.360 They didn't.
00:44:51.440 You got screwed and you paid for it.
00:44:54.460 I want the salt to go into that wound that wanted to go into the wound deep.
00:44:58.880 This is what happened.
00:44:59.920 This is with all the talk and tariffs and the boom, bing, bing, bing.
00:45:03.140 Do you see any Democrats?
00:45:04.500 Do you see anybody standing up and saying that truth?
00:45:07.300 Do you see the Kochs or Leonard Lear or anybody saying it?
00:45:09.400 But this is what Trump's trying to do.
00:45:11.940 What the hell you think I'm all for the Trump 28?
00:45:14.380 A guy like this comes along and it may be once in a country's history.
00:45:18.840 In this nation, we've had, we've been lucky to have two before him, General Washington
00:45:23.480 and Abraham Lincoln.
00:45:25.780 And I say that as a student of American history.
00:45:27.980 Oh, Bannon, you've read a couple of books.
00:45:29.400 No, I have studied American history.
00:45:30.860 You've got two guys.
00:45:32.240 You've had some great leaders in the country.
00:45:33.740 Don't get me wrong.
00:45:34.500 General Jackson is my guy, right?
00:45:36.620 You've had some great leaders in this country, but you have two that are world historical
00:45:42.320 figures.
00:45:43.440 And that would be General Washington, Abraham Lincoln.
00:45:48.140 Donald Trump's the third.
00:45:50.180 I don't care if they like it or not.
00:45:51.700 If Morning Joe's head's going to blow up and they say, oh, you can't say that.
00:45:54.600 The guy's a criminal.
00:45:55.440 He's a crook.
00:45:55.940 He's been a dud.
00:45:56.480 He's been all, hey, you guys did all that to him.
00:45:59.280 And he consciously knew you're going to do it to him.
00:46:01.160 And he came back anyway.
00:46:03.040 And that's what this fight, he's not doing small things.
00:46:06.100 What stuns me every day is the, is coming out of the white, it's like today, the cold,
00:46:12.040 this cold situation, the executive words on cold and the energy department and of course
00:46:16.320 EPA and others and interior to execute on this, it's monumental and the execution is
00:46:21.980 everything.
00:46:22.460 But today for clean cold, what is it?
00:46:24.700 It's another, it's another part of President Trump's full spectrum energy dominance.
00:46:30.900 He doesn't want to be energy independent.
00:46:33.040 That was kind of the thought of, you know, back in the 20th century, in the early 20th
00:46:37.880 century.
00:46:38.240 No, full spectrum energy dominance.
00:46:41.680 If it's energy, he wants to dominate the space.
00:46:44.740 And he's going to dominate the space.
00:46:45.980 And coal has gone from 48% down to 16.
00:46:49.280 And remember, this is what Dave Wall says all the time.
00:46:51.880 It's reliable.
00:46:53.120 It's there.
00:46:53.640 And with clean coal, it's clean.
00:46:55.420 Hell, China's building, I think it's, what, they have 300 plants.
00:47:00.020 Do you think that they care and that we've ever held them to any standards whatsoever?
00:47:05.640 Okay.
00:47:06.020 I want to make sure everybody get ready.
00:47:07.500 Now, Zero Hedge.
00:47:08.640 I think Grace is, Grace, we're going to link to this on our site.
00:47:12.260 I think through, on Getter and Rumble, Grace is going to have it up. 0.99
00:47:16.240 So make sure you check with Grace if you're in the chat, but don't miss it.
00:47:19.660 Zero Hedge.
00:47:20.080 I want to thank the guys at Zero Hedge.
00:47:21.320 This is going to be very special.
00:47:22.340 And here's what's great.
00:47:23.500 It's right in the middle.
00:47:24.460 And when the real heat of this is happening right now.
00:47:26.960 And you've got Spencer Morrison, who I think has just done a terrific job.
00:47:30.840 The book is fantastic.
00:47:32.380 And, of course, you've got Peter Schiff.
00:47:34.420 And Peter's a well-known libertarian and, you know, a guy, alternative investments.
00:47:38.320 He's got some real theories of the case.
00:47:40.660 And they're going to both present them.
00:47:42.440 And it's fantastic.
00:47:43.720 You know, you get the benefit of both types of thinking.
00:47:46.880 And then you kind of weigh and measure it.
00:47:48.780 You know, there's been a lot today.
00:47:50.000 We haven't been able to get into it, but there's a whole lot today about Peter Navarro and Elon Musk and, you know, going in President Trump's position as a populist nationalist and what President Trump's putting forward.
00:47:59.140 But I think if you look at everything, including the leak today that Semaphore's got about President Trump, the first time any Republicans ever thought in history about raising the taxes on the upper bracket or the people making over a million dollars a year.
00:48:12.860 That in itself is monumental.
00:48:14.500 He's totally rethinking the whole thing, and everything is so big and so important.
00:48:20.140 This is why we have to have his back.
00:48:21.620 I don't agree with everything the president's doing.
00:48:23.940 I don't.
00:48:24.460 Some of the stuff on the reconciliation, I don't understand.
00:48:27.480 The more I understand part of it, I don't agree with it.
00:48:29.800 But that's okay.
00:48:31.340 He totally agree 100%.
00:48:32.840 He's putting forward, and he's driving things to a vision.
00:48:37.160 I know what he wants is that he wants his tax cut out of there.
00:48:40.420 He thinks we need to extend the tax cut.
00:48:42.220 I 100% agree.
00:48:43.060 For the middle class and working class and for the entrepreneurs and maybe for some of the corporations, you do need to extend the tax cut.
00:48:52.120 But then we get down to the tough, and I think Peter Schiff's going to talk about it tonight.
00:48:56.440 And on this part of it, I do agree with Peter.
00:48:59.020 You know, he's had 25 trillion over the next 10 years.
00:49:02.360 I think it may be more than that.
00:49:03.800 I'm going to have to do the calculation.
00:49:04.820 I think because he's done so much short-term, real short-term under Janet Yellen, and that's how third-world countries kind of do it, I think we have 10 trillion just in the next year that Scott's got to refinance. 0.72
00:49:16.500 Birch Gold, the way he gets smarter in all this, and this is why we did it for you, is to go to birchgold.com slash abandon, the end of the dollar empire.
00:49:25.260 Remember, all of this, even when Peter Schiff talks tonight or when you hear people talking, the greatest export we have is the dollar.
00:49:31.080 Our system, the post-war system, is predicated upon that. 0.68
00:49:34.520 It's not your fault that people are questioning, does that system work?
00:49:37.820 It's the elites.
00:49:38.860 They've been financially irresponsible.
00:49:41.520 This is why in this reconciliation, we have to have a partner's discussion, and over the next couple of days, we're going to try to have it.
00:49:47.340 It's number one, you know, can we afford, do we need and can we afford a trillion dollar defense budget, right?
00:49:53.680 Don't we have a hemispheric defense now?
00:49:55.420 Number two, on the discretionary income on the social programs, including Medicaid.
00:50:01.340 I think there's things on Medicaid you can do, very smart understanding because the jobs don't pay what they used to pay.
00:50:07.540 People need Medicaid, right?
00:50:09.360 Certain people need Medicaid.
00:50:10.780 You just have to, you know, you have to come to that reality.
