00:02:00.000 Welcome to the lineup live.
00:02:02.000 You see it's a little darker because this light is flickering here in the studio.
00:02:06.000 We got gremlins.
00:02:07.000 Glad to have you here.
00:02:08.000 We're going to be talking about a lot today.
00:02:10.000 Taco! 0.98
00:02:12.000 President Trump chickens out.
00:02:13.000 They think that's a funny little colloquialism that the left is trying to make a thing, but I'm willing to bet it's going to end up like fake news.
00:02:19.000 Do you remember that fake news was a thing the left tried to use and then it got jujitsu'd and now they're just beside themselves and they can never live it down?
00:02:26.000 We're going to go through that, what it means, and if there's any...
00:02:30.000 Also, this is a big one.
00:02:32.000 The court or courts blocking Trump's tariffs.
00:02:37.000 My half-Asian lawyer is here so that we can give you a rundown of this.
00:02:39.000 I think a lot of people are getting it wrong, and I'm not a lawyer, so I have one here to discuss it.
00:02:45.000 And, you know, not everything is an intellectual exercise, to be clear.
00:02:48.000 When people talk about constitutional authority, constitutional parameters, what falls under the executive branch, you do remember that the Constitution was drafted really in a...
00:03:10.000 Not everything is some libertarian think tank, and we're going to get into that, and I think it's time to wield the power of that executive branch in a way that is not violating anyone's personal civil rights.
00:03:22.000 But yeah, to stick it to the left a little bit.
00:03:24.000 I know I've heard this argument all the time.
00:03:25.000 Well, you know, if you do this, well, shoes on the other foot.
00:03:28.000 As though the left is not going to do that.
00:03:31.000 You guys can come.
00:03:32.000 It's time to fight fire with fire on that one.
00:03:35.000 Again, bridling our selfish urges a little bit.
00:03:38.000 We're going to discuss that.
00:03:40.000 And, of course, welcome.
00:03:41.000 I almost forgot this.
00:03:42.000 Bongino Army, I know you just came in from Vince.
00:03:45.000 Welcome.
00:03:45.000 Vince comes from Vincente in Latin, which, by the way, all the romance languages are based in Latin, and it translates roughly to, Dad, you gotta stop treating me like I'm a little kid!
00:03:58.000 On with the show.
00:04:09.000 Viewer discretion is advised.
00:04:11.000 Bad girls, what you want, what you want, what you want to do when they show them, when they show them, they come for you. 1.00
00:04:19.000 What's going on?
00:04:24.000 Bad girls, bad girls, what you gonna do?
00:04:27.000 What you gonna do when they come for you?
00:04:30.000 Bad girls, bad girls, what you gonna do when they come for you? 0.88
00:04:38.000 Feminist Cops is filmed on location with the brave, strong women of law enforcement. 1.00
00:04:42.000 All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
00:04:46.000 Man down, man down.
00:04:48.000 We have a civilian in critical condition.
00:04:49.000 We need medical staff.
00:04:54.000 Okay, I'm here now.
00:04:55.000 I'm going to save you.
00:04:56.000 You're gonna be fine.

00:06:43.000 We'll be right back.
00:06:49.000 Oh shoot, I forgot to sip.
00:06:50.000 We're in disaster today.
00:06:53.000 Glad to be with you.
00:06:54.000 Question of the day.
00:06:55.000 What determines a national emergency?
00:06:57.000 The answer is fentanyl.
00:06:59.000 It's always fentanyl.
00:07:01.000 Which, come on, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. 1.00
00:07:03.000 When I had my surgery, they put a little bit of Fenty in my IV bag, and I get it.
00:07:09.000 Nice.
00:07:12.000 If I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory, at some point in time, I'm taking all of you with me, but it will include copious amounts of fentanyl.
00:07:21.000 George Floyd style?
00:07:22.000 Yeah.
00:07:23.000 No grain of rice-sized kernel terrifies this man.
00:07:28.000 It's going to be a satchel of fentanyl, and we will let nature take its course.
00:07:32.000 All right.
00:07:33.000 With a smile on your face.
00:07:35.000 It's a live show weekdays, 11 a.m., and of course, if you are a member of Rumble Premium, tomorrow we have an apologetics episode with one Gerald Morgan and Andrew Wilson discussing the differences between Protestantism and Orthodox Christianity, and I'm willing to bet it gets a little heated, although you're quite a congenial man.
00:07:52.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
00:07:54.000 I'm fantastic.
00:07:54.000 He beat the crap out of me in that.
00:07:56.000 Really? 0.67
00:07:57.000 No.
00:07:58.000 It was back and forth.
00:07:59.000 We both had good points.
00:08:01.000 I appreciate it.
00:08:02.000 He said he very much enjoyed the time.
00:08:03.000 It's fun.
00:08:04.000 Yeah.
00:08:05.000 He's wrong.
00:08:05.000 I'm right.
00:08:05.000 But whatever.
00:08:06.000 It's fine, Andrew.
00:08:07.000 He also requested that next time you don't show up in a trench coat and flash him.
00:08:09.000 But we all have our thing.
00:08:11.000 Fine.
00:08:11.000 Naked it is.
00:08:12.000 And Sunday, July 6th, the Funny Bone Comedy Club.
00:08:15.000 You can go and see him.
00:08:17.000 You know him.
00:08:17.000 You love him.
00:08:18.000 Josh Feierstein.
00:08:19.000 That's at the Funny Bone in Orlando, right?
00:08:21.000 Yes, Orlando.
00:08:22.000 Okay.
00:08:23.000 Orlando of Disney.
00:08:24.000 And you don't say gay at my show.
00:08:26.000 No, you do not. 0.91
00:08:27.000 Hey, does fentanyl help my night terrors?
00:08:30.000 I think it pretty much helps all terror.
00:08:32.000 It puts you at a very nice hum.
00:08:35.000 It's worth trying, for sure.
00:08:36.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:08:38.000 Shut up, Bill. 1.00
00:08:38.000 We haven't introduced you yet. 1.00
00:08:40.000 Look, look, of course, do not do drugs.
00:08:43.000 I'm just saying I get it.
00:08:44.000 Unless you have night terrors.
00:08:47.000 Unless you wake up screaming, no, Uncle Tom, don't do that!
00:08:50.000 We're not supposed to talk about Uncle Tom.
00:08:52.000 It's in your writer.
00:08:53.000 And we're going to hit the stinger later because we're going to do an official segment, but his show is hardly legal on YouTube.
00:08:59.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is here.
00:09:01.000 Thank you for being here, sir.
00:09:02.000 We needed an expert as we discuss law and constitutional authority.
00:09:06.000 I'm excited.
00:09:07.000 This is a crazy time right now, and we're going to have fun today.
00:09:10.000 Well, hopefully.
00:09:11.000 I tell you what.
00:09:12.000 This lady was not having fun, and it's why women shouldn't be cops. 1.00
00:09:16.000 I've got a severe of my credit.
00:09:27.000 Oh.
00:09:29.000 Step aside, ladies. 1.00
00:09:32.000 Step aside, ladies. 1.00
00:09:34.000 A complete nondescript civilian is going to simply caress him gently.
00:09:40.000 In gym shorts.
00:09:43.000 A tender touch.
00:09:46.000 I love how he's showing.
00:09:54.000 This is all it takes, and they're still giving it a wide berth.
00:09:59.000 You guys want to take it for dear?
00:10:01.000 He seems okay with the guy handling him.
00:10:08.000 He's like, you do it like this.
00:10:10.000 Just put him against the wall. 0.87
00:10:12.000 They're acting like he's demanding they eat a puffer fish.
00:10:15.000 I don't think I want to get near him.
00:10:18.000 This is my job, I know, but I can do it.
00:10:25.000 Another man runs up and then you hear sirens in the background.
00:10:28.000 Undoubtedly more male police officers.
00:10:30.000 Yes, undoubtedly more male police officers are showing up.
00:10:33.000 And look, this is not to say that women are physically less capable than men, but women are physically less capable than men. 0.96
00:10:38.000 Unfortunately, the shoe attack put the female cop in the emergency room. 1.00
00:10:47.000 We have a trade E today.
00:10:49.000 We do.
00:10:50.000 It's a process.
00:10:59.000 It's still funny.
00:11:01.000 It's okay, Nick.
00:11:03.000 you know, people, they die in the woods, they die of shame.
00:11:05.000 Don't...
00:11:07.000 Oh my God.
00:11:08.000 Whoa, whoops.
00:11:13.000 He said...
00:11:23.000 Who's in control now, Steven? 1.00
00:11:27.000 You're the guy drowning, and I throw you a life preserver, and you're like, that's for fags! 1.00
00:11:31.000 I don't need this! 1.00
00:11:33.000 I got this!
00:11:34.000 I got it! 1.00
00:11:35.000 You're dragging him out of the pool, and he's just punching you in the face like, let me fuck it up more! 0.99
00:11:41.000 You haven't seen the ninth level of hell yet. 0.99
00:11:46.000 What I'm saying is, just shake it off.
00:11:50.000 People in the woods, they die of shame.
00:11:52.000 They sit there thinking what they should have done, what they could have done, and they die.
00:11:55.000 Instead of doing the one thing that would have saved their life, thinking. 0.62
00:11:58.000 Which is push the right frickin' button.
00:12:02.000 Why didn't I just get a text that says, take him to the train station?
00:12:09.000 Oh my gosh.
00:12:10.000 I was gonna say something and I don't remember what I was gonna say.
00:12:13.000 Thanks.
00:12:14.000 Something about die in the woods?
00:12:16.000 I don't know.
00:12:18.000 Hey, just in case you guys, you can say sexism, but we're done with that.
00:12:22.000 We just don't care anymore.
00:12:23.000 Here are the facts on women in combat or physical roles.
00:12:27.000 So, women failed the police physical test in New Jersey at 13 times the rate of men.
00:12:31.000 We don't have the national numbers because I don't want you to know it.
00:12:34.000 Women failed the army fitness test.
00:12:36.000 At a ratio of 6 to 1 compared to men.
00:12:40.000 And women in the army are 67% more likely to receive some kind of physical disability discharge or some kind of musculoskeletal injury disorder.
00:12:52.000 Like, guys, I don't know.
00:12:55.000 Feminists, I will say, hats off to you. 1.00
00:12:57.000 You've done a great job at guilting and browbeating men into allowing you to be physically hurt.
00:13:04.000 As a sign of progress.
00:13:06.000 Seems like the wrong way to go.
00:13:07.000 Yeah, the main thing is we just don't want to be hurt ourselves now.
00:13:10.000 Now citizens are at risk.
00:13:12.000 For more proof, just see France.
00:13:14.000 They have no idea.
00:13:16.000 If I am, not fentanyl, but if we're going now to PCP land, if I am a known felon with a rap sheet, out of my mind blitzed on PCP, and I know that I'm going to be going to the slammer for a long time, It is an answered prayer to see a lady cop show up. 1.00
00:13:34.000 I go, oh!
00:13:35.000 It might turn your life around.
00:13:37.000 You pray to God real quick?
00:13:38.000 Please, God, if a feminist cop shows up. 1.00
00:13:40.000 Yeah.
00:13:40.000 I swear I'll turn it around.
00:13:41.000 I swear. 1.00
00:13:42.000 Look, if you just send a female cop, I'll beat the shit out of her. 1.00
00:13:45.000 I'll never do anything bad again. 1.00
00:13:47.000 And I'll get away.
00:13:48.000 Oh, it's Becky!
00:13:50.000 All right.
00:13:55.000 And the best way to stay in touch.
00:13:58.000 Download the Rumble app and follow us there.
00:14:00.000 If you're watching this on YouTube, God only knows why at this point.
00:14:04.000 Rumble app, we are live, 11 a.m. Eastern, and it just lets you know when we're live.
00:14:08.000 You don't have to worry about an algorithm.
00:14:09.000 Let's move on to this.
00:14:10.000 This is something that's always fun when the left thinks that they're clever.
00:14:14.000 They've now tried to coin this new term after the setback that we'll get to on the tariffs.
00:14:19.000 It's taco.
00:14:20.000 Have you guys heard this? 0.63
00:14:21.000 It's Trump always chickens out.
00:14:23.000 And I get it.
00:14:24.000 They think that they're going to be goading him.
00:14:26.000 Like, ah, we're going to hurt his ego with this.
00:14:27.000 They tried this with fake news.
00:14:29.000 Do you remember this?
00:14:29.000 Have you been around long enough?
00:14:30.000 Fake news was something that the left made up to try and attack conservatives online, alternative media.
00:14:36.000 And it actually kind of did work because social media started censoring, throttling conservatives more.
00:14:42.000 But then Donald Trump commandeered that word and started using fake news.
00:14:46.000 And then they started attacking their own term.
00:14:48.000 I'm willing to bet that something like that is going to happen with Taco or...
00:14:54.000 But the term is taco.
00:14:55.000 They're trying to make the case that Donald Trump always chickens out.
00:14:59.000 Is it?
00:14:59.000 By the way, is it based in fact?
00:15:02.000 But first, hear them describe it to you.
00:15:04.000 Well, or maybe consumers are also into the taco trade, you know?
00:15:10.000 That's an acronym for Trump always chickens out.
00:15:13.000 It was in the FT last week.
00:15:14.000 And Donald Trump's predictable reversing of himself has now created a new phrase with the acronym What do you think, retired mid-level surfer?
00:15:35.000 I don't know if you could more effectively put together a montage of people I hate.
00:15:44.000 Like, you could have a montage of the key members of the Taliban, and I'd prefer it to those folks. 0.97
00:15:50.000 Those guys are cool.
00:15:51.000 He really thinks he's clever.
00:15:53.000 Trump always chickens out.
00:15:57.000 He said it like he was reading some kind of apocalyptic message to the country.
00:16:01.000 Like he's waiting for Bill Maher's crowd animator to say, clap, clap, give him your validation.
00:16:06.000 So they even asked Donald Trump about this, tried to corner him, and here's his very President Trump-like response.
00:16:13.000 Mr. President, Wall Street analysts have coined a new term called the taco trade.
00:16:17.000 They're saying Trump always chickens out on your tariff threats.
00:16:20.000 And that's why markets are higher this week.
00:16:22.000 What's your response to that?
00:16:24.000 Six months ago, this country was stone cold dead.
00:16:27.000 We had a dead country.
00:16:29.000 We had a country people didn't think it was going to survive.
00:16:31.000 And you ask a nasty question like that.
00:16:34.000 It's called negotiation.
00:16:36.000 You set a number.
00:16:37.000 And if you go down, you know, if I set a number at a ridiculous high number and I go down.
00:16:42.000 A little bit.
00:16:43.000 You know, a little bit.
00:16:43.000 A little bit.
00:16:44.000 They want me to hold that number.
00:16:46.000 145% tariff.
00:16:48.000 Even I said, man, that really got up.
00:16:50.000 You know how it got up?
00:16:52.000 Because of fentanyl and many other things.
00:16:54.000 And you added it up.
00:16:55.000 I said, where are we now?
00:16:57.000 We're at 145%.
00:16:58.000 I said, whoa, that's high.
00:17:00.000 But don't ever say.
00:17:02.000 What you said.
00:17:02.000 That's a nasty question.
00:17:06.000 I just love how this would apply with nukes, right?
00:17:09.000 You're like, oh, Truman, don't chicken out.
00:17:12.000 You got six nukes ready.
00:17:14.000 Just drop them.
00:17:16.000 No basic negotiation or strategic thinking.
00:17:19.000 Not yet, you don't.
00:17:19.000 We surrender.
00:17:21.000 We're always talking about Jake Tapper where he didn't have the information that was available to everybody.
00:17:26.000 At the time.
00:17:27.000 And it's like, oh, so you guys, we need journalists, right?
00:17:30.000 I saw Aaron Brockovich.
00:17:31.000 You guys are all inherently altruistic.
00:17:33.000 I get the point.
00:17:34.000 But you haven't done your due diligence in...
00:17:39.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:17:40.000 There's an entire book, actually, written called Art of the Deal, where he specifically lays out the strategy that you're seeing in real time.
00:17:48.000 And this is lost on you?
00:17:51.000 Is that a good book?
00:17:52.000 Did it so well?
00:17:53.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:17:54.000 So, you know, at this point, either you're lying or you're just very lazy, in which case, no matter what the answer is, there's no use for journalists.
00:18:03.000 And of course, President Trump is visibly annoyed, almost as annoyed.
00:18:06.000 We all have our days as a tool man was the other day here in the office.
00:18:10.000 *Groans*
00:18:32.000 *Groans*
00:18:47.000 Thanks, Tim.
00:18:48.000 I can breathe.
00:18:50.000 It's so nice.
00:18:53.000 Wait, what's that smell?
00:18:57.000 You could really learn some manners.
00:19:00.000 I gotta get back to work.

00:19:14.000 And I will tell you this, the only thing keeping me afloat right now is this.
00:19:17.000 I have twins who are, it's basically a walking double Petri dish.
00:19:20.000 And even though you can hear it in my voice, I can breathe fine.
00:19:23.000 This really is safe.
00:19:24.000 And you know what?
00:19:24.000 I don't have to use the medicated nasal spray like I used to, which that stuff's not good for you.
00:19:29.000 So I hear, but I'm not making medical claims.
00:19:30.000 Yeah, you get addicted to it.
00:19:32.000 Yeah, that's what I hear.
00:19:33.000 So did President Trump chicken out?
00:19:36.000 Well, it's time for some claim truth.
00:19:43.000 All right, taco.
00:19:44.000 Yeah.
00:19:45.000 Let's go for some taco claims.
00:19:46.000 Here's the claim that you hear from the left is that President Trump chickened out specifically on China.
00:19:52.000 Is it true?
00:19:53.000 The facts support the taco thesis, whether it's been on electronics early on or the high tariffs on China.
00:20:02.000 The taco doctrine.
00:20:03.000 Talk is big.
00:20:03.000 It's science.
00:20:04.000 Blows his trumpet, makes a huge fuss.
00:20:06.000 And before negotiations even begin.
00:20:09.000 Before he's even made contact with reality.
00:20:12.000 The lady on the left, it's tacos. 1.00
00:20:13.000 Yeah.
00:20:15.000 Here's the truth.
00:20:18.000 Not even close.
00:20:19.000 That's incorrect.
00:20:20.000 So, President Trump gave China this 90-day reprieve because they agreed to restart negotiations.
00:20:26.000 Now, we all know that their word is not worth the fortune cookie it's printed on.
00:20:32.000 So they said, OK, we're going to restart.
00:20:39.000 And then, the next truth is that the courts ended up hamstringing President Trump.
00:20:44.000 So if not for the court injunction, the tariffs on China would still be 50 or 60%.
00:20:48.000 And by the way, up until this new injunction, everyone was okay with it.
00:20:52.000 That's two times what it was in 2024.
00:20:55.000 Exactly.
00:20:55.000 Came in high, was going down to 50 or 60%.
00:20:58.000 And really, up until the last 48 hours, people were like, well, I guess that's the new normal.
00:21:02.000 That's a win!
00:21:03.000 That was a really clear way of negotiating.
00:21:06.000 Basically, it's like doubling the price of something and then giving somebody 25% off.
00:21:09.000 Oh, I got a deal!
00:21:10.000 Yeah.
00:21:11.000 Great!
00:21:11.000 Yes.
00:21:12.000 Just reset it.
00:21:13.000 It's the old Kohl's deal.
00:21:14.000 Yes, exactly.
00:21:15.000 Where they double the price and they give you 50% off and then they give you another 20% off.
00:21:20.000 You're like, but this is still more expensive than if I just buy it anywhere.
00:21:24.000 Is he giving tariff cash?
00:21:25.000 Yes.
00:21:28.000 That's awesome.
00:21:28.000 Make him the first white woman president.
00:21:31.000 They love Kohl's cash.
00:21:32.000 I don't know what it is with the Kohl's cash.
00:21:35.000 It's not legal tender, by the way.
00:21:37.000 Here's the next claim that they're making for.
00:21:40.000 They claim that President Trump chickened out, not China, but also on the EU.
00:21:45.000 Donald Trump blinked once again, backing off the threat he made days ago, delaying the implementation of a 50% tariff on the European Union.
00:21:55.000 The European Union is America's second largest trading partner behind China.
00:21:59.000 Okay, here's the truth.
00:22:02.000 It's clearly, and it always was meant to be, a starting point for a deal.
00:22:08.000 Again, read the book, Art of the Deal.
00:22:10.000 This is someone with business experience who understands negotiation.
00:22:13.000 Here is President Trump explaining as much.
00:22:15.000 I have great respect for the people at the European Union.
00:22:19.000 They wouldn't be over here today negotiating if I didn't put a 50% tariff on.
00:22:25.000 The sad thing is now when I make a deal with them, it's something much more reasonable.
00:22:28.000 They'll say, oh, he was chicken.
00:22:31.000 He was chicken.
00:22:33.000 So, the media can try and bring out these attacks and taco and chicken.
00:22:37.000 Here's what really matters.
00:22:39.000 Do you believe that President Trump is trying to work on better trade deals for the United States?
00:22:43.000 You can comment below.
00:22:44.000 That's what matters.
00:22:46.000 And it is interesting that the media is always lining up against the interests of the United States.
00:22:51.000 Let's just, let's distill this down to It's most basic form.
00:22:56.000 They're going, Europe got you, even though they didn't. 0.96
00:23:01.000 They're going, good for you, Communist China. 1.00
00:23:06.000 Hey, how about creating the acronym for Xi Jinping?
00:23:10.000 How about creating the acronym?
00:23:12.000 How about mocking the governments that jail people for speech?
00:23:16.000 Why are you always rooting for the bad guy?
00:23:19.000 Why are you always rooting for the governors who Why are you always somehow on the corner of Communist China?
00:23:32.000 Why are you always somehow defending MS-13 gang members?
00:23:37.000 Like, I'm not just, this isn't hyperbole, there are no exceptions.
00:23:41.000 There really aren't.
00:23:43.000 So, you know what?
00:23:45.000 I'll give this administration a little bit of grace and hope that these negotiations keep going on because any type of retaliatory tariffs...
00:23:57.000 Yeah, and they're doing it right in the middle of the negotiations, too.
00:23:59.000 Just let this process play out a little bit.
00:24:01.000 I understand that we're going to comment on how it goes throughout the process and what you think the wins and losses are, but right now they're saying, ah, you're a chicken, you let these guys win, and it's like, you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes.
00:24:11.000 Not at all.
00:24:12.000 Well, to prove my point right now, I think it's Rahm Emanuel talking about the Chinese student visas.
00:24:16.000 Let's see if they're advocating for foreign Chinese nationals who are likely spies in our institutions. 0.68
00:24:24.000 I want to get to those as well while I have you, Ram.
00:24:27.000 You call the Democratic Party's brand right now, in your words, toxic and weak and woke.
00:24:33.000 Give me specifics.
00:24:34.000 What are you referencing?
00:24:35.000 Okay, that's good. 0.97
00:24:35.000 By the way, I don't like him, but I do respect that he poked a man in the chest naked in the shower. 0.97
00:24:40.000 That's true. 0.97
00:24:41.000 Clothes are optional when you're pissed.
00:24:43.000 That's pretty cool.
00:24:43.000 That is how I will remember Ram Emanuel always.
00:24:46.000 And you know what?
00:24:47.000 Before we get to this next segment, it's regarding the courts blocking the tariffs from President Trump.
00:24:52.000 We're going to be discussing the separation of powers, the executive branch, what kind of authority these courts have.
00:24:57.000 And that's why I actually brought in my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond.
00:25:01.000 And he has his very own intro.
00:25:08.000 Yeah, there you go.
00:25:09.000 Nice.
00:25:09.000 So, what's the show?
00:25:11.000 Oh, go ahead.
00:25:11.000 Sorry.
00:25:12.000 Let me plug your show.
00:25:13.000 Yeah, you're right.
00:25:15.000 What's your show, Half Asian Builders? 0.98
00:25:16.000 Hardly legal.
00:25:17.000 We're on YouTube.
00:25:18.000 We're also on Rumble, so definitely check us out on there.
00:25:20.000 We're going to be uploading more episodes.
00:25:21.000 But real people who are calling in, they're anonymous, real legal issues, the craziest stuff.
00:25:27.000 Nurse in Long Island who issued thousands of fake vaccine cards to first responders and then got thrown into solitary while she was in jail.
00:25:36.000 What?
00:25:37.000 We had a student who's electroshock therapy experimentation by a professor.
00:25:45.000 You heard this before?
00:25:46.000 Wasn't that the Unabomber? 0.87
00:25:47.000 Pretty crazy. 1.00
00:25:48.000 And then Crazy Landlord Puts Dog Shit in Tenant's Hockey Bag. 1.00
00:25:53.000 That's funny. 1.00
00:25:54.000 That one makes me like the landlord more.
00:25:56.000 I was like, yeah.
00:25:57.000 But here's the thing.
00:25:58.000 The bag smelled so bad, he didn't know it was in there.
00:26:01.000 I mean, if you had a hockey bag, you know how bad it was.
00:26:03.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:26:03.000 So that's really the tenant's fault.
00:26:05.000 All right, Gerald, now you have your moment in the sun.
00:26:07.000 I apologize.
00:26:07.000 I wasn't looking for that.
00:26:08.000 I was trying to figure out.
00:26:10.000 I think I saw a chyron from CNN that said that they were trying to block or that a judge just issued a temporary block on Harvard students' visas not being allowed for foreign students.
00:26:19.000 So that would be a new block.
00:26:21.000 I don't think we had that planned on our list today to talk about.
00:26:24.000 But if that's true, guys, let me know in research.
00:26:26.000 If that's really what actually happened.
00:26:28.000 this brings us to this conversation here.
00:26:30.000 We are all references available, and we wanted to make sure that we have lawyers who work here, not only have Haitian Bill Richmond, but George the Greek, who said, you know, we think we can really help serve you guys and give you some insight here, because the media is not going to...
00:26:50.000 But let me sort of set the table here.
00:26:53.000 Not everything, and I mean this.
00:26:55.000 And by the way, I was at fault on this front, too, hanging around a lot of libertarians, and when I was at Fox News, and it's always, you know, Brookings Institute and Reason Magazine and all, Manhattan Institute, they all kind of bleed together at a certain point.
00:27:11.000 Not everything is just something that we discuss in the theoretical.
00:27:15.000 When we talk about the Constitution, the context does matter that this was a people who had warred.
00:27:23.000 With the greatest superpower, arguably, the world had seen, certainly in recent centuries, to become the only superpower the next century.
00:27:32.000 And the Constitution was meant to preserve that.
00:27:35.000 So if you think for a second that these founding fathers would have thought or supported the idea of local judges, of district judges, who were not elected by the people of this country, determining national policy on everything from Immigration.
00:27:53.000 Not just visas, but deportation.
00:27:57.000 Tariffs.
00:27:58.000 Dealing with the drug crisis, the fentanyl crisis at the border.
00:28:02.000 You think that Thomas Jefferson would have said, oh sure, some judge in Connecticut should determine what happens at our borders in a time of crisis.
00:28:12.000 Then you need a CAT scan.
00:28:14.000 And I tell you what.
00:28:16.000 If we find ourselves in an actual war where it comes to your home front, God forbid that ever happens, if we find ourselves there, none of these kinds of games that we're playing now will enter into the equation.
00:28:28.000 You've been separated from the necessity of our founding and constitution by comfort for far too long.
00:28:36.000 So I want to put that in context before we get into the ins and outs.
00:28:39.000 We're at a point here where this country, it may be, Do you understand that?
00:28:46.000 Through decades of complete inaction.
00:28:48.000 And in this case with judges, willful destruction.
00:28:51.000 In other words, this did not happen overnight.
00:28:53.000 The fentanyl crisis, the open borders.
00:28:56.000 You don't get 20 million people in four years here illegally overnight.
00:29:01.000 You don't get, we don't know the number, which also doesn't happen overnight, hundreds of thousands, millions of illegal aliens benefiting.
00:29:08.000 From social services here, from social safety nets, whether it's Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, that doesn't happen overnight.
00:29:17.000 And we can't continue down the path of an action.
00:29:20.000 And part of the reason for the executive branch is to be able to deal with these problems and break through it, especially in times of emergency.
00:29:30.000 So do we want to wait for it to be an emergency where it can no longer be fixed?
00:29:35.000 It's beyond repair.
00:29:37.000 Or, and comment below, do you think that we are at a point in this country where the emergency is now, as far as immigration, as far as the subversion of Western civilization, as far as deals being made not in the interests of the American people, even though our representatives have made them, but in the interests not of just foreign nations, but foreign adversaries who want to do you harm?
00:30:01.000 Is the emergency now, or do we need to wait?
00:30:06.000 For it to become a war. 0.60
00:30:07.000 In which case, I guess you have to call Code Pink.
00:30:11.000 So Wednesday, three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade, for those of you who haven't seen this yet today, they blocked President Trump's tariffs again.
00:30:23.000 The president, the will of the people.
00:30:25.000 These judges said, no!
00:30:27.000 We're following some very big breaking news tonight, news that will come as a big blow to Donald Trump and his agenda.
00:30:33.000 Tonight, a three-judge panel in New York has effectively balked almost all of Trump's disastrous tariffs.
00:30:39.000 Trump's tariffs against Mexico and Canada, his tariffs against the EU, against China, his tariffs against uninhabited islands with nothing but penguins and snow.
00:30:48.000 They are all blocked by this federal court decision.
00:30:51.000 The court said his effort to justify them with broad claims of national emergencies exceeded his legal authority.
00:30:58.000 Can you believe it?
00:30:59.000 The ruling caused stock futures to jump.
00:31:01.000 I'm going to say this to you twice.
00:31:03.000 The Trump policy that was And what did the markets do?
00:31:09.000 Jumped.
00:31:10.000 They were excited about it.
00:31:11.000 The world will reset itself around the restoration of law and order in international trade and the crushing of the Trump tariffs and resultant personal worldwide humiliation of Donald Trump.
00:31:29.000 So let me be really clear before we get some key facts.
00:31:32.000 You just heard it.
00:31:34.000 Does the bidding of Wall Street. 0.99
00:31:37.000 Occupy Wall Street was a load of crap then, and it is now. 0.96
00:31:41.000 They're happy that Wall Street will willingly and gleefully put the needs of the American people and our manufacturing base and our employment base on the back burner in favor of short-term profits. 0.98
00:31:53.000 They think that's a good thing.
00:31:54.000 Because you can look at inflation right now.
00:31:55.000 You can look at employment numbers.
00:31:57.000 You can look at, by the way, what happened in Donald Trump's first term.
00:31:59.000 The highest raise.
00:32:02.000 That working class Americans saw in their salary, in modern American history, they would rather see Wall Street do a little bit better, and by the way, was already on the way up.
00:32:11.000 And then you just heard O'Donnell, who wants you to stop the hammering, you heard him say, isn't this great, gleefully, that the rest of the world is mocking your elected leader, your president?
00:32:26.000 There are no exceptions.
00:32:28.000 They always celebrate the wins.
00:32:30.000 Of people who want to destroy this country, like China. 1.00
00:32:34.000 Yeah.
00:32:35.000 To be clear.
00:32:35.000 He even goes on, he said something there that made me, like, it blew my mind.
00:32:40.000 He said order is kind of returning or something along those lines, like the order of global trade.
00:32:43.000 I'm like, you mean the order that's screwing us as a nation?
00:32:46.000 You're happy that we're returning to that?
00:32:49.000 That normal order that Donald Trump was trying to correct?
00:32:52.000 Right.
00:32:52.000 That's not just being against Trump, that's being against us.
00:32:55.000 Like, you don't want us to succeed.
00:32:56.000 By the way, a big part of the tariffs, too, was about China. 0.99
00:33:00.000 Getting their ass in line with fentanyl. 0.99
00:33:01.000 Yes. 0.99
00:33:02.000 So I guess the order of record overdose deaths.
00:33:05.000 Okay.
00:33:06.000 Thanks, O'Donnell.
00:33:07.000 So let's go to the first key fact here.
00:33:09.000 All references available in the description.
00:33:10.000 Number one, the ruling, what their argument is.
00:33:14.000 And Half Asian Bill, you can probably clarify this with people.
00:33:17.000 It's that President Trump can't invoke emergency powers under the Emergency Powers Act to deal with things they claim like trade deficits or China's fentanyl.
00:33:27.000 That's their standing?
00:33:27.000 Right?
00:33:28.000 Yeah, essentially what they're saying is that it's, even though it's specifically tailored to a particular concern that is backed by a lot, a lot, a lot of evidence.
00:33:35.000 This isn't just anecdotes or talking about, you know, hey, look, a few folks overdosed.
00:33:41.000 The millions of issues that are coming out of this people with overdose, the drugs, the border issues, they're saying those are not specific enough to be able to invoke the National Emergency Act and then use that as a basis under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to do these tariffs.
00:33:59.000 I mean, it's one of the most ridiculous analyses, keeping in mind that the last time that the Court of International Trade even spoke on tariffs, So this isn't just, oh, Trump is doing something that's a little bit unusual.
00:34:20.000 Well, unusual circumstances require unusual solutions, but the courts even taking up of this issue is extremely unusual.
00:34:29.000 Yeah, and that would, again, seem like the weaponizing in many ways of the justice system.
00:34:33.000 This affects the Liberation Day tariffs, right? 0.64
00:34:36.000 There were like 10 to 50 percent, depends on the country.
00:34:39.000 Apparently, they may be, I don't fully know this, the government may have to refund businesses that have already had to pay tariffs that have been collected.
00:34:47.000 Now, there are some that are not affected.
00:34:49.000 For example, the tariffs on cars, on steel, on aluminum, because that was imposed under a different law, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
00:34:57.000 So some people are a little confused about that.
00:35:00.000 So one is okay, and one's not.
00:35:00.000 That's why.
00:35:03.000 And this brings us to key fact number two.
00:35:06.000 Who the judges actually are.
00:35:09.000 So you have Gary S. Katzman, who was appointed under Obama.
00:35:12.000 You have Timothy M. Reif, who was appointed under Trump.
00:35:15.000 And I know people say, look at Trump!
00:35:16.000 Yeah, well, so was Amy Coney Barrett.
00:35:18.000 And then you have Louis Anderson's long-lost twin sister, Jane A. Rastani.
00:35:23.000 So, you know.
00:35:24.000 I'm a judge, you guys!
00:35:28.000 Spot on.
00:35:29.000 She's not even the weirdest-looking district judge, though.
00:35:32.000 No, I made a list.
00:35:32.000 No?
00:35:33.000 Thanks.
00:35:34.000 Thank you.
00:35:39.000 Alright, we'll go back to the legal analysis, but I guess you have a list.
00:35:42.000 I have a list real quick of the weirdest looking district judges that I've seen.
00:35:44.000 Okay.
00:35:45.000 At least last night.
00:35:46.000 Okay.
00:35:47.000 Number five on my list is district judge and girl from the ring all grown up, Linda Lopez. 1.00
00:35:57.000 Okay, that one's pretty weird.
00:35:59.000 Brush your hair, lady. 1.00
00:36:01.000 Number four, Ninth Circuit judge who requests that both councils approach the bench so she can inform them that she is in fact the one who farted. 1.00
00:36:09.000 Anna de Alba.
00:36:10.000 It was me!
00:36:12.000 Yeah, we know your honor.
00:36:14.000 Alright, okay. 0.98
00:36:16.000 Your flatulence. 0.81
00:36:17.000 Alright, what's the next one? 0.98
00:36:18.000 Circuit appeals judge and human suppository John B. Owens.
00:36:24.000 That's exactly what it was in my head.
00:36:26.000 Yeah, no eyebrows for nice insertion.
00:36:30.000 Smooth transition.
00:36:33.000 Number two.
00:36:36.000 Fourth Circuit Court Judge.
00:36:37.000 Sorry, it's hard to read.
00:36:38.000 Fourth Circuit Court Judge, who is totally not buying my story, Roger Gregory.
00:36:42.000 Yep, he looks like you. 1.00
00:36:43.000 That's some bullshit. 1.00
00:36:44.000 That's some bullshit. 1.00
00:36:46.000 I know I want you. 1.00
00:36:47.000 Okay.
00:36:47.000 I don't have time for this.
00:36:49.000 It's lunch.
00:36:51.000 It's lunch.
00:36:53.000 The court rests.
00:36:55.000 And number one weirdest-looking district judge, Court of Appeals judge, who reads every case up, down, left, and right, all at the same time, and is also part-time sloth, Eunice Lee.
00:37:05.000 She is positively turpid. 0.99
00:37:07.000 Nothing gets by her.
00:37:08.000 That's been Josh's List.
00:37:09.000 I appreciate it.
00:37:10.000 Yeah.
00:37:10.000 Music.
00:37:11.000 We'll be right back.
00:37:15.000 Okay, that is the most white-named black person I've ever seen in my life.
00:37:19.000 Eunice? 0.77
00:37:19.000 Yeah. 0.77
00:37:20.000 They probably pronounce it Eunice!
00:37:22.000 Eunice! 1.00
00:37:25.000 Go ahead and call Eunice. 0.97
00:37:26.000 What?
00:37:27.000 I got a cousin! 0.60
00:37:28.000 I know two Asian women named Eunice Lee. 1.00
00:37:30.000 So, literally, when the picture came up, I was like, oh, this is not what I expected.
00:37:36.000 Not an Asian sloth, no.
00:37:37.000 Her son is you, nephew. 0.96
00:37:39.000 No, but Asian sloth is my favorite strain of wheat. 1.00
00:37:43.000 That's what it turns you into.
00:37:45.000 Alright, key fact number three, and this is really important, you know, half-Asian Bill Richmond will know this probably better than anyone here.
00:37:52.000 What can the Trump administration do?
00:37:54.000 Now, I know they've already filed an appeal.
00:37:55.000 And that's what they've got to do.
00:37:56.000 So the very first thing is, the ruling from the Court of International Trade will take effect in 10 days, is when the officials have to go and walk back everything that they need to do under that particular order.
00:38:07.000 And so the appeal to the Federal Circuit Court, so that's the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, has already been filed, and the Federal Circuit can issue a stay.
00:38:17.000 They can say, nope, Court of International Trade, your ruling, incorrect, do not have to move forward with it.
00:38:25.000 It decides to say, hey, the Court of International Trade was correct.
00:38:28.000 Keep going.
00:38:29.000 Then there can be an appeal up to the United States Supreme Court.
00:38:32.000 So I would say we're going to see a busy, busy, busy next 14 days on this front.
00:38:37.000 And here, just so you know, there are other options, by the way, other tariff options that can be basically implemented via executive order under section I have this here, 232.
00:38:46.000 And as I understand it, this allows the president to levy tariffs on products that threaten national security.
00:38:50.000 So, for example, that would be like the current steel and aluminum tariffs.
00:38:54.000 Bill?
00:38:55.000 Yes, so the specific ones, this is that issue of like how narrow can it be?
00:38:59.000 Right.
00:38:59.000 This isn't an argument to say that the president can't give tariffs or initiate tariffs on specific products or specific industries.
00:39:06.000 But what they're saying is you can't just do it broadly because they're saying that fentanyl is not a broad enough problem, that illegal border crossings by our foreign enemies is not a big enough problem, which really just comes down to.
00:39:22.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:39:23.000 What's the number of deaths?
00:39:24.000 Yeah, but when you read the opinion, the opinion doesn't actually get into the weeds of the justification. 1.00
00:39:29.000 It just says, we don't believe it's actually a national emergency, so fuck off. 0.99
00:39:35.000 Well, my neighborhood's fine. 0.98
00:39:37.000 Actually, they do kind of say, well, it is an emergency, but we're still not really going to let you do it because, and I don't understand the rest, and I have a quote later on.
00:39:45.000 But I also know that some can be implemented through Section 301.
00:39:50.000 As I understand it, the president to levy tariffs on specific countries that impose unfair trade barriers, which sounds exactly like what he did.
00:39:57.000 That's why I'm so confused.
00:39:58.000 They're called the reciprocal trade tariffs.
00:40:02.000 I mean, they're literally like, if you're doing it to us, we're going to do it to you.
00:40:05.000 And now, apparently, we're saying, well, you can't just unilateral or globally respond to everyone.
00:40:11.000 What?
00:40:12.000 What?
00:40:12.000 Yeah, why not?
00:40:13.000 So, I'm going to make sure I understand.
00:40:14.000 Section 301, it allows the president to levy tariffs on specific countries that impose unfair trade barriers, but reciprocal tariffs, according to this court, don't apply?
00:40:23.000 So what they're saying is, is like, okay, so you remember the quote earlier, she was like, the lady on the news clip was like, oh, this snowy island that all they do is export like sea salt or something, right?
00:40:33.000 So there is a point to be made that some of these countries may have tariffs that are not actually impacting us in some kind of serious way because they're such small players.
00:40:42.000 But the reality is the vast majority of these, the reciprocal tariffs, are designed to say, you've got some issue with us.
00:40:48.000 We're going to go ahead and step up and start dealing with it across the board.
00:40:52.000 But they're saying, no, you can't just decide to do it across the board.
00:40:56.000 It doesn't make sense.
00:40:57.000 Well, we also have another possibility with Section 122, and To levy a maximum 15% tariff to address the balance of payments crisis.
00:41:08.000 So that only can last 150 days unless Congress extends it, right?
00:41:13.000 Correct.
00:41:13.000 And so that's what Gerald is actually mentioning that earlier before the show.
00:41:16.000 There's a way to be able to start moving these into place and give those options.
00:41:21.000 In fact, in this particular circumstance, folks...
00:41:37.000 So, for example, under the Trade Expansion Act, you can literally have a national emergency declaration.
00:41:43.000 There's some findings that have to be made by Congress.
00:41:45.000 And then it becomes almost unattackable at that point, right?
00:41:48.000 You can't use the courts to attack it except in a very narrow slice.
00:41:51.000 And I think the issue is that Trump And now everyone's coming back and going, no, I guess fentanyl's just not that big of a problem.
00:42:02.000 Right.
00:42:03.000 Yeah.
00:42:04.000 That was the issue that everyone united around.
00:42:07.000 And I was one of the few people who said, yeah, we need to separate fentanyl.
00:42:10.000 And opiates.
00:42:11.000 Because, unfortunately, people put the baby out with the bathroom. 1.00
00:42:13.000 Like, we don't have an opiate crisis.
00:42:13.000 We have an illegal opioid crisis.
00:42:16.000 Because this idea that Timmy got some Vicodin because he had a root canal and then was blowing hobos that he could get a pack up.
00:42:24.000 It's just not true.
00:42:25.000 It's just not true.
00:42:26.000 And now people who need pain medication You can't even get a poppy seed bagel anymore.
00:42:30.000 No, you cannot. 0.97
00:42:31.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99
00:42:32.000 You can't if I'm getting it. 1.00
00:42:33.000 You can't if you blow a hobo. 1.00
00:42:34.000 That's true.
00:42:34.000 We all have our lines.
00:42:35.000 That's true.
00:42:35.000 Well, that's just what he told you.
00:42:37.000 You can get a little extra schmear if he doesn't.
00:42:38.000 He doesn't actually have poppy seed bagels.
00:42:40.000 There's also a way to do it through section 338.
00:42:43.000 And again, as I understand it, we have the links here.
00:42:45.000 I think we have a link to Cornell.
00:42:47.000 It allows the president to impose up to 50% tariffs on countries that specifically discriminate against the United States.
00:42:54.000 But that's never been used before.
00:42:55.000 And again, here's the thing.
00:42:56.000 They say, oh, Donald Trump applied it too broadly.
00:42:58.000 These sections and sort of areas where it would be permissible.
00:43:02.000 Also seem insanely broad to me, Bill.
00:43:04.000 Yeah, there's a lot of them that are brought in because they haven't actually been used.
00:43:08.000 We're just going to have more and more challenges that go, well, this has never been limited before, so let's just go ahead and try to limit it.
00:43:15.000 And then when you have activist judges who say, well, we're going to err on the side of doing anything that will limit Trump's agenda because we don't like Trump, then it becomes a problem, right?
00:43:25.000 The pressure there on these judges and them succumbing to it is a big problem.
00:43:30.000 I mean, these are articles.
00:43:31.000 They need to maintain their independence and follow the law.
00:43:35.000 But here they continue to err on the side of striking down without looking at the real evidence behind them.
00:43:41.000 They pretty much have struck down everything.
00:43:43.000 Well, they're trying.
00:43:44.000 They're trying to strike down everything.
00:43:45.000 Literally everything that President Trump has done.
00:43:47.000 They even tried striking down his lunch order last week.
00:43:50.000 They have, what, tariffs?
00:43:52.000 Okay.
00:43:52.000 Then they've done visas.
00:43:54.000 Okay.
00:43:54.000 They've done the deportation orders in some cases.
00:43:57.000 So what can be done?
00:43:59.000 This is the thing.
00:44:00.000 You're basically saying there is no power.
00:44:01.000 Didn't we have some of the biggest spending ever take place under Barack Obama?
00:44:05.000 Didn't you have George W. Bush effectively declare war without Congress at one point in time?
00:44:11.000 Remember, that was kind of a big deal?
00:44:12.000 And now you can't say, hey, a reciprocal tariff until you fix the fentanyl epidemic?
00:44:20.000 Tell me the courts have been politicized without telling me the courts have been politicized.
00:44:22.000 One of my problems, too, and Bill, you and I were talking about this earlier, is that the people that brought these cases...
00:44:31.000 Goldman issued a statement after this ruling and said basically this is a nothing burger in that the tariffs can be put on in other ways and the administration will move to do that.
00:44:39.000 So the tariffs won't really go anywhere.
00:44:41.000 It's not a nothing burger in that the courts are now overstepping their bounds yet again and that's what we're really talking about.
00:44:46.000 But that just goes to show you the people that are bringing these suits, they know.
00:44:49.000 That that is likely what's going to happen.
00:44:51.000 And so it's not really even about affecting the tariff policy of this administration.
00:44:55.000 It's about making Donald Trump look bad and weak.
00:44:58.000 Right.
00:44:58.000 And who does that help?
00:45:00.000 China.
00:45:00.000 Exactly.
00:45:01.000 Our foreign adversaries.
00:45:02.000 China's all too happy that this is happening right now, by the way.
00:45:05.000 Right.
00:45:05.000 They love it.
00:45:06.000 They want this to happen.
00:45:07.000 So, Bill, you just said something a minute ago that I just basically wrote down a little bit of a note.
00:45:12.000 Part of it is a cuss word, and I can't say that, but I read it, and it's fine. 1.00
00:45:16.000 The courts can say this and issue a stay.
00:45:19.000 Screw it.
00:45:20.000 I don't care.
00:45:21.000 It's going to go to the Supreme Court.
00:45:22.000 I'll wait on their decision.
00:45:24.000 Until then, everything stays exactly as it is.
00:45:27.000 Come get me, bro.
00:45:28.000 Well, they've got 10 days.
00:45:29.000 At the very least, they've got 10 days.
00:45:30.000 No, it's not even 10 days.
00:45:32.000 I'm saying, I don't care what happens in 10 days.
00:45:34.000 Screw whatever order they come out with.
00:45:36.000 Screw whatever.
00:45:36.000 I'm doing literally nothing.
00:45:38.000 If I'm this administration, I'm doing nothing right now.
00:45:40.000 Nothing changes.
00:45:41.000 I'd go out and be like, hey, that's really interesting.
00:45:43.000 It's really cute that you guys had this decision.
00:45:44.000 It doesn't make any sense.
00:45:46.000 So we're going to appeal it.
00:45:47.000 We're going to ask for a stay.
00:45:49.000 We're going to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:45:50.000 And until that decision comes down, I'm not doing anything different than what I'm doing now. 0.99
00:45:53.000 China, you're still screwed. 1.00
00:45:54.000 You've been kind of like Joe Biden did with red forgiveness and student loan forgiveness. 0.58
00:45:59.000 What are the consequences if he does that?
00:46:01.000 I mean, I know it's different for Trump than Biden.
00:46:02.000 Yeah, so this is always the issue when you look at the judicial system and you say, okay, what will these courts do?
00:46:07.000 They don't really have their own police force.
00:46:10.000 So at that point, you start getting into this fraying of the entire system, right?
00:46:14.000 So a question of like, okay, if the branches no longer listen to the other branches in areas where they're making rulings, who's going to step in and do something about it?
00:46:23.000 It could be something like declaring that these officials who are not complying are no longer in power.
00:46:29.000 They no longer have the authority, but again, it requires Or you start moving over into the judicial side of enforcement where the Justice Department starts arresting officials for failing to comply with court orders.
00:46:47.000 You start throwing them in jail, things like that.
00:46:49.000 So, I mean, this could escalate pretty crazy.
00:46:52.000 Seems unlikely, though.
00:46:54.000 They're not going to do that because this is the only president who they have tried to jail and someone attempted to assassinate and that backfired on.
00:47:01.000 I can't imagine they want to send in.
00:47:03.000 Send in your guys.
00:47:03.000 Yeah.
00:47:04.000 By the way, let me just clarify.
00:47:06.000 I'm not saying that you're ignoring the courts.
00:47:08.000 I'm saying that you're waiting for this to go through the process.
00:47:11.000 And so you're going to sidestep the game that these guys are playing.
00:47:15.000 Right.
00:47:16.000 So we'll get to some of the solutions down here, but because there are obvious solutions, because this administration can go different ways with tariffs, the game is basically, let's just slow him down long enough to where he's ineffective as President of the United States.
00:47:28.000 And so he looks weak, and it helps our enemies and people around the world that are competing with us, that maybe aren't our enemies, but want to compete with us economically.
00:47:35.000 I just think he says, fine, yeah, I'm just going to ignore all this until it gets to the Supreme Court.
00:47:40.000 We'll have a fight there.
00:47:41.000 Macro point here.
00:47:42.000 You now know why it is almost exclusively Republicans and conservatives who wear the American flag pin.
00:47:48.000 You guys get it?
00:47:49.000 Yeah.
00:47:49.000 They're celebrating empowering China, just like they did MS-13.
00:47:54.000 Do you guys get it?
00:47:55.000 And Affidation Bill is a very accomplished lawyer.
00:47:55.000 I get it.
00:47:58.000 He's going to understand the details, the granularity on this far better.
00:48:02.000 But I think you all know enough to see that they are cheerleading.
00:48:07.000 For people who want to take what you've built, and I don't just mean you, the American people as a country, what you have built personally.
00:48:14.000 If it's a business, if it's some sense of community, if, hey, maybe it's a rehab center, by the way, to deal with people who have been struggling with this drug crisis.
00:48:23.000 Everything that they are advocating for and they are cheering is adversarial.
00:48:29.000 To the good of the American people.
00:48:31.000 And I think it's important to keep that in focus because then you'll understand the behavioral pattern.
00:48:36.000 Wait, why is the media?
00:48:38.000 Why is the Democrat Party?
00:48:40.000 And why are all of these district courts, these judges, why are they all acting the same following lockstep?
00:48:47.000 There has to be a commonality.
00:48:49.000 Well, then you look to other commonalities.
00:48:52.000 Oh, championing China.
00:48:55.000 And that's not a stretch, by the way.
00:48:57.000 Oh, making sure that foreign Chinese nationals can stay on our campuses. 1.00
00:49:02.000 Oh, making sure, by the way, that we don't necessarily have voter ID.
00:49:06.000 And the reason that all ties back, because you had a Chinese national who voted in Michigan.
00:49:09.000 It was confirmed.
00:49:10.000 His vote still counted anyway. 1.00
00:49:11.000 You guys remember that shit? 1.00
00:49:12.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:49:13.000 Oh, wait a second.
00:49:14.000 Oh, advocating on behalf of a nation who has, by their own admission, Been seeking the destruction of Western civilization and harming you in this country any which way they can.
00:49:27.000 And they all follow lockstep.
00:49:30.000 When they say, hey, look, Donald Trump's in the White House.
00:49:33.000 Sure.
00:49:34.000 Look at all of the other institutions.
00:49:36.000 Higher learning.
00:49:37.000 You've seen what's happened with Harvard and Brown.
00:49:39.000 You look at the courts.
00:49:40.000 You've seen them overstep their bounds.
00:49:42.000 You look at what's happening, of course, in the legacy media.
00:49:45.000 Look at just Jake Tapper, what he's going through right now.
00:49:48.000 Still not apologizing for lying.
00:49:49.000 How do they all line up on one side all the time?
00:49:52.000 Oh, and who else is there?
00:49:54.000 Oh, that's right.
00:49:55.000 China and criminal gangs who want to exploit our open borders policy. 0.73
00:50:01.000 They're all in one huddle.
00:50:03.000 It's them versus you. 0.71
00:50:05.000 Let's go to the next key fact here.
00:50:07.000 And this is important.
00:50:09.000 What can be done?
00:50:10.000 Well, really, this should go to Congress.
00:50:12.000 And you would think, hey, Republicans have quite a bit of control at this point in time.
00:50:18.000 They could retroactively ratify President Trump's tariffs or pass a tariff law.
00:50:23.000 But you have some people there who may not.
00:50:26.000 So this, and I have this written down here to make sure that I remember correctly, and Bill, you can clarify, they can amend the Emergency Economic Powers Act.
00:50:32.000 Or expand Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to include issues specifically like trade deficits or the Chinese fentanyl crisis.
00:50:42.000 And here's the thing.
00:50:44.000 I know they can do that.
00:50:45.000 Congress would need to do it.
00:50:47.000 But it already seems like it's in these sections.
00:50:49.000 That's where it seems disheartening.
00:50:52.000 Like, yeah, but that kind of seems there, though.
00:50:54.000 That's the biggest rebuttal to this entire thing is that Congress has already taken the actions to delegate the authority of tariffs in large, large, large areas to the executive branch and specifically to the president.
00:51:07.000 So really, again, we're not arguing about can the president impose tariffs or not.
00:51:12.000 It's how many tariffs and how far can those go, which makes the complete striking down of the specific tariffs, the reciprocal tariffs, the ones related to fentanyl on the border, a huge problem.
00:51:23.000 Because it's essentially saying, we know you're allowed to do some stuff, but we're just going to throw it all out right now and then let you figure it out, right?
00:51:31.000 So that political motivation to say, we're just going to hamper you across the board is a big problem.
00:51:36.000 And to get to your point earlier, Stephen, I think it's really interesting when you think about the lack of values that are applied when attacking these policies.
00:51:45.000 The side, like you said, of Occupy Wall Street is now using the evidence of the stock market going up and capitalists winning as evidence that this was a good policy or a good result.
00:51:58.000 It's like, wait a minute, you're not even on your own side anymore.
00:52:04.000 And that's where you can find some hypocrisy that underlies this entire attack on what it should be and is a stance to protect America.
00:52:13.000 If Donald Trump existed in the 1800s and implemented these kinds of tariffs and policies to protect the American worker and our manufacturing sector, Bernie Sanders would praise him as a folk hero.
00:52:24.000 You guys understand that?
00:52:25.000 What do you think Bernie's And this man, he stood up to Wall Street and he said, I don't care about the fat cat profits.
00:52:34.000 I'm going to focus on employment and I'm going to focus on economic growth and inflation manufacturing for the working class.
00:52:42.000 Now he's on the side of Wall Street. 0.97
00:52:44.000 It's horseshit. 0.99
00:52:46.000 Anyone who tells you that Occupy Wall Street was or it was always horseshit. 0.99
00:52:51.000 These people are never consistent in their values. 0.85
00:52:55.000 Let's go on to what their claims are.
00:52:55.000 Ever.
00:52:57.000 Let's steel man this here for a second as far as how they justify it.
00:52:59.000 Here's one of their claims.
00:53:00.000 Is that the trade deficit doesn't actually constitute unusual or any kind of extraordinary threat.
00:53:07.000 The law does not grant tariff authority to the president simply when he finds or determines that an unusual and extraordinary threat exists.
00:53:16.000 I sense a little snark there.
00:53:17.000 I appreciate it.
00:53:18.000 But man, when you put it that way, it all kind of makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
00:53:22.000 Now, for the first time, we have a federal court saying that we all, well, we all kind of sort of knew to be true already.
00:53:28.000 The president's justification for this trade war is BS.
00:53:32.000 Okay, so here's the truth.
00:53:33.000 The threat...
00:53:37.000 It's not an emergency for people like Jen Psaki. 0.93
00:53:39.000 It is for a lot of people in this country where you had judges sit by while this country just got caved in in many ways, particularly our industries.
00:53:49.000 This nation right now, you don't think this is an emergency?
00:53:52.000 We're completely dependent.
00:53:53.000 On supply chains from our biggest adversaries who want to do us harm.
00:53:53.000 You remember COVID?
00:53:58.000 Things like critical minerals.
00:54:00.000 Pharmaceuticals.
00:54:00.000 Remember shortages during COVID of that?
00:54:02.000 Electronics.
00:54:03.000 Ship sets.
00:54:04.000 And then, if we want to write this ship, we can't, by the way, just up production right away because of some other red tape.
00:54:11.000 We also can't build our own stuff here anymore.
00:54:14.000 So, ships, any kind of fabricated metal, all kinds of military goods.
00:54:20.000 Think about this for a second.
00:54:22.000 If you had an asteroid hit the United States' ability to extract, to use, to refine, process, to basically Create what we need as far as rare earth minerals, as far as chipsets, as far as our ability to build ships, as far as our ability to build and assemble a lot of military goods.
00:54:43.000 So in a world where an asteroid just hits those targets, where we can't do it anymore, do you realize it would have no discernible difference because we can't do it now?
00:54:53.000 It all has to come from China. 0.99
00:54:55.000 It all has to come from overseas. 0.96
00:54:56.000 We're not talking about tchotchkes that you put in a party favor bag. 0.99
00:55:01.000 We're talking about during COVID.
00:55:02.000 Do you guys remember this?
00:55:03.000 During COVID, now, this was as bad as it gets for you, and it turned a lot of you conservative.
00:55:07.000 During COVID, it was cheaper to get a new car than a used car, in many ways.
00:55:12.000 Do you remember that?
00:55:12.000 Because of the interest rates.
00:55:13.000 Do you remember how there was a shortage?
00:55:14.000 Do you remember how you weren't?
00:55:16.000 It's the first time where I may invoke a lemon law, and half-Asian Bill knows this, because I've had to have the transmission. 1.00
00:55:22.000 The only time in my life I purchased a new car, because it was the only full-size SUV available in the region.
00:55:28.000 And you have twins and a 120-pound dog?
00:55:30.000 You need one.
00:55:31.000 The transmission has been switched out like three, four times because they didn't have the chipsets.
00:55:34.000 You all went through that.
00:55:35.000 Do you guys remember needing certain drugs, antibiotics during COVID, not being able to get it?
00:55:42.000 That's the closest you've had to an emergency.
00:55:45.000 Do you know how much worse it would get in a time of war?
00:55:51.000 Where it's not just because they have supply issues overseas as well, it's that they deliberately turn it off.
00:55:58.000 But don't worry.
00:56:00.000 I bet China would never do that, because they're looking out for you.
00:56:04.000 I bet they would never use the leverage they have against us.
00:56:05.000 Let me say one quick thing on that, and I think I'm uniquely situated.
00:56:09.000 My Chinese family members...
00:56:14.000 They're not even like me, half Asian. 1.00
00:56:15.000 They are 100% Chinese.
00:56:16.000 They have been sounding the alarm for decades, saying that if you don't recognize that China wants to dominate and control the planet, then you are not listening.
00:56:29.000 And I think that's the fundamental disagreement here, is they're going, oh, you're just being racist by targeting these other countries of people that look different.
00:56:37.000 No, we're not doing it based on the way they look.
00:56:39.000 We're doing it based on what they see.
00:56:42.000 The lack of intellectual property protections, the ability to send shitty goods, if not actual bad drugs, over into this country.
00:56:51.000 The precursors for fentanyl being able to flow not only directly into the United States, but onto the North American continent that makes its way into the United States.
00:57:00.000 China could be doing more.
00:57:02.000 They have one of the most aggressive and complete police states that have ever existed.
00:57:06.000 And they're like, yeah, I don't know.
00:57:09.000 Man, I have no idea how these drugs and the chemicals are getting in and why do we sound like we're from Jersey?
00:57:16.000 Is a bad Asian accent. 1.00
00:57:16.000 I don't know. 1.00
00:57:19.000 No, but that's what the Chinese are saying who are here in America. 1.00
00:57:23.000 They're like, hey, we know a little thing about those guys because we fled that fucking country. 1.00
00:57:29.000 Yes. 0.99
00:57:29.000 And the rest of white liberal America is looking around going, no. 0.99
00:57:33.000 I think you're just being racist.
00:57:35.000 Put it this way.
00:57:36.000 Yes, during COVID, and we all are, but during COVID, we were in a tailspin.
00:57:42.000 China was also in a tailspin, largely because they were lying, by the way. 0.99
00:57:45.000 Yeah, to the rest of the world.
00:57:46.000 But let's just say this.
00:57:47.000 We were all in a tailspin, okay?
00:57:49.000 And you saw the supply chain issues.
00:57:51.000 You saw what happened.
00:57:52.000 Now, change it.
00:57:54.000 Change.
00:57:55.000 We're in a tailspin, and China's not, because they planned it. 0.99
00:57:58.000 So take what you went through with toilet paper and apply it to everything But it's not an emergency.
00:58:07.000 Let's go on to the next claim.
00:58:09.000 And this is one that they kind of make, but they say, well, fentanyl is kind of an emergency, but it doesn't really matter.
00:58:14.000 I have this from the ruling.
00:58:15.000 They say, the state plaintiffs do not argue that the fentanyl trafficking orders fail to invoke unusual and extraordinary threats.
00:58:22.000 That's them saying, like, we're not arguing that it's not an emergency.
00:58:24.000 But then they go on to say, a dam deals with flooding by holding back a river, but there is no such association between the act of imposing a tariff and the, quote, unusual and extraordinary threats, for example, that of the fentanyl trafficking orders purport to combat.
00:58:39.000 What they're basically saying is, yeah, we get that the tariffs are leveraged, and we get that fentanyl is actually, we acknowledge, kind of an emergency, but we're going to act like we don't understand the connection.
00:58:49.000 So no.
00:58:51.000 It's not specific enough is basically their argument.
00:58:53.000 I gotta tell you I agree though.
00:58:54.000 I think that what the court is saying here is we need to build 100,000 A-10 warthogs and have them patrol the borders and just shoot every fentanyl-carrying boat that comes near the border.
00:59:06.000 Look, I actually agree with that.
00:59:08.000 I'm into A-10 warthogs.
00:59:10.000 They're beautiful.
00:59:11.000 They sound beautiful.
00:59:12.000 But short of that...
00:59:15.000 It's saying, well, we have this one really important lever that China would not like if we used, so we push the button, and now we're like, no, it's not directly connected.
00:59:26.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77
00:59:27.000 I don't understand the metaphor.
00:59:28.000 The metaphor is that if you build a dam, you stop the river, but there's a saying, well, just let the river flow.
00:59:34.000 Yeah.
00:59:36.000 Don't even try to build a dam or whatever you're doing.
00:59:39.000 Just stop. 1.00
00:59:40.000 Kill the beaver. 1.00
00:59:41.000 I'm going to be reductive here because I'm good at that. 0.99
00:59:45.000 You have a choice.
00:59:46.000 Pull the economic levers now or pull the lever of the war machine later.
00:59:52.000 That's your choice.
00:59:53.000 There you go.
00:59:54.000 It's a binary choice.
00:59:56.000 There is no choice number three.
00:59:58.000 Pull the tariff lever now, make it sting enough that they get in line, or...
01:00:07.000 That's where this goes.
01:00:08.000 Really quickly, do you want to...
01:00:12.000 So we have to rate in just a minute.
01:00:16.000 Oh, we do have the reverse Super Chat.
01:00:17.000 Let's do that and then we'll finish this out.
01:00:19.000 Well, then I guess it is time for...
01:00:19.000 All right.
01:00:23.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:00:24.000 You guys know what Super Chat is.
01:00:25.000 It's where you give us money, but we don't allow you guys to do that.

01:00:36.000 That's right.
01:00:43.000 I don't know.
01:00:44.000 I guess Nick's production style is interrupting.
01:00:47.000 I like it.
01:00:48.000 Keeps out your toes.
01:00:49.000 Yeah.
01:00:50.000 He goes, you know what?

01:01:24.000 If they get you on the phone, they can see your cameras.
01:01:26.000 Yeah, well, you know what?
01:01:27.000 That's by design, in my case.
01:01:28.000 I mean, I closed the road, but I left it half open.

01:02:40.000 That turned out okay.
01:02:41.000 Yeah, he's seizing their fentanyl.
01:02:43.000 Pull it back up really quick.
01:02:45.000 I know we have to raid, but pull it up.
01:02:46.000 He's taking their booty.
01:02:47.000 Look at the bags.
01:02:49.000 Those are like the cheap Chinese food carry-out bags.
01:02:51.000 Look at me.
01:02:52.000 That's not fentanyl.
01:02:53.000 It's MSG.
01:02:54.000 Same thing.
01:02:56.000 So addictive.
01:02:57.000 Look, before you walk the plank, I have one question for you.
01:03:01.000 When I say no MSG, do you put it in any way?
01:03:05.000 We do.
