00:05:35.620It's a principled conservative versus the rogue MAGA-ites debate all over again.
00:05:42.140But see, the Democrats on the Supreme Court, and we know who they are, Sotomayor, Kagan,
00:05:50.840Kentonji, Brown, Jackson, these are Democrats masquerading as jurists.
00:05:59.000And they have no such reservations or hang-ups when it comes to the whole goal of being principled.
00:06:07.560The whole idea of you just got to look at it from the original interpretation of the Constitution, and that is nowhere near the language or the mindset of the left-leaning justices.
00:06:21.580It doesn't mean they're not principled.
00:06:27.740Just as long as it marches toward a creepy leftist, communist, Marxist, socialist agenda.
00:06:36.860If whatever happens within their chambers, and as the result of their decisions, if it pushes toward that leftist agenda, then they're feeling pretty principled.
00:06:47.460But, oh, good, you had to say to yourself as you saw that ruling come down today.
00:06:55.020The Supreme Court is protecting China and protecting Canada and other unfair traitors.0.95
00:07:04.000The Democrats on the court, they automatically go for the left-leaning position, right?
00:07:09.080As long as it's something that President Trump actually wanted to see happen, they're going to go the other way.
00:07:14.280But the Republicans, somehow, it's always like, well, what's Amy Coney Barrett going to do?
00:07:23.300What's Justice Roberts going to do?1.00
00:07:35.340The Democrats, to the extent that they actually are in the Supreme Court, they just do whatever they're supposed to do based off the leftist orthodoxy.
00:07:43.280The Democrats really do circle the wagons.
00:07:47.680That's something you have to hand to them.
00:07:49.560You have to hand to them that they never break ranks.
00:07:53.180Outside of this whole Israel issue, which has them all in a pretzel, like our, wait a minute, wait.0.94
00:07:58.660Are Jews wealthy landlords or put upon minorities?0.99
00:08:12.040Supreme Court, the Democrats, anybody who's got a D next to their name, or even if they don't, even if it's just the magical little invisible one when they serve in the Supreme Court, they never break ranks.
00:09:14.500You look at the polling, 80% of Americans say there should be something akin to a federally mandated voter ID to participate in these elections.
00:09:49.860So Mitch McConnell, one of the standard bearers for the Republican Party, something as simple as voter ID, he can't get behind that.
00:09:56.420But then when you have a president levying tariffs on foreign imports, something that, going back to the founding of the country, was something that the executive is supposed to do, that's a problem, and the Democrats in the court are going to strike it down.
00:10:15.320This is why politics in this country is such a joke.
00:10:18.320You have an entire group of people who just want voter ID laws.
00:11:49.620But as for tariffs, this is what I don't understand.
00:11:53.840A couple of years ago, when Roe v. Wade got overturned, when the law of the land, the prevailing law became that states can decide on abortion statutes.
00:12:08.900Everybody on the left, the CNNs, the MSNows, the Washington Posts, the New York Times, whatever, your neighbor who likes to cry to you about whatever the latest talking point on Axios says.
00:12:23.380The conservative stranglehold on this country was all anybody could talk about.
00:12:27.440Oh, the conservative Supreme Court, oh, they're a rubber stamp for whatever President Trump wants to do.
00:12:35.720President Trump described this as a life or death issue for the country.
00:12:41.140He staked his financial plan on this whole idea that the American consumer is getting ripped off.
00:12:50.320Foreign entities are benefiting from that profit margin.0.97
00:12:54.220The American consumer has no recourse other than to have its government say, cool, you want to make all that crap in China and sell it over here?0.99
00:13:05.720And believe me when I tell you, and we'll hear from Scott Besson later this hour, it was not the American consumer who was paying those taxes.
00:13:13.600It was that factory owner in China because it's more important to him that the machines continue to turn.
00:13:19.680And the number that he sells little tchotchkes for here in the United States really doesn't matter.
00:13:25.060That's how significant their profit margin is.
00:13:28.060Looking for financial insights you can trust?
00:13:31.820How do you protect yourself as an investor?
00:13:35.820I think you just want to be diversified in your portfolio.
00:13:38.560The Payne family brings real world experience to every conversation.
00:13:42.800Well, I think that's the problem right now is where a lot of people that are close to retirement, they're taking so much risks.
00:13:47.940And if we do get a big sell off, it could derail their retirement.
00:13:50.980Listen to the Payne points of wealth on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:13:55.640Rural Americans deserve access to the best our nation has to offer, especially when it comes to health care.
00:14:01.620Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
00:14:09.680No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
00:14:12.400They're there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
00:14:16.920Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
00:14:28.940Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
00:14:35.900Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
00:14:38.400They employ our neighbors and keep our families health.
00:14:41.680But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
00:14:44.560Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
00:14:51.500Rural Americans deserve access to the best our nation has to offer, especially when it comes to health care.
00:14:57.560Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
00:15:05.620No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
00:15:08.340They're there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
00:15:12.880Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
00:15:24.900Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
00:15:31.860Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
00:15:34.120They employ our neighbors and keep our families' health.
00:15:37.680But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
00:15:40.700Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
00:16:19.200Yeah, but what happened to all the crying and the tearing out of the eyes, the rendering of the, the wrenching of the clothes, and the, what happened?
00:16:29.820When you're so hyperbolic as to say that the world is basically over after Roe v. Wade, and it's, we're going to pack the court, we're going to have 15 justices, we're going to have 19, we're going to make Puerto Rico a state, we're going to make Washington, D.C. a state.
00:16:46.120And now it's, now it's, oh, oh, would you look at that?
00:16:50.720What a great decision from the Supreme Court.
00:16:53.380Well, that's American democracy if I've ever seen it.
00:17:55.760What's any American supposed to do about that?
00:17:58.500Because they'll put you in jail if you don't want to pay those.
00:18:00.700But one thing to keep in mind when you think of midterms or when the political prognosticators want to get into, who's the next Republican nominee going to be?
00:18:13.200Who's the next Democrat nominee going to be?
00:18:18.800And when you think politics and the Oscars and the Emmys and the Grammys and New York City and L.A. and Chicago, lots of people live there, right?
00:18:27.160Lots of cultural influence with those institutions, right?0.94
00:18:30.700Yet their political movement and the people who actually buy the crap they're selling, it's very small.0.72
00:18:50.220It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.
00:19:18.000Obviously, the U2s of the world and the Bonos and the Bruce Springsteens, and they care a lot, right?
00:19:25.460And the family members of Alex Preddy and Renee Good, they obviously care a lot.
00:19:29.180And any feeling, breathing, heart-filled person is going to feel badly that somebody was killed just because they decided to mess with federal authorities.
00:19:40.260But do you think the average person out there on a Friday night trying to get home from work, trying to get back to their family, just getting done with work for the day, thinking about their weekend, thinking about cracking a beer, thinking about getting a pizza, thinking about doing whatever with their life?
00:19:55.100Is spending a single second on Renee Good or Alex Preddy?
00:23:07.120I don't really necessarily care that much about hockey, but I do want to see the United States win.
00:23:13.900And ESPN is very excited about Women's Sundays because we all know that's what everybody's every sports fan is looking for Women's Sundays.
00:23:23.600But the phone lines are sizzling right now.
00:23:26.620You got to talk to my man, Vincent, before you get to talk to me.
00:24:18.200It's heartbreaking the extent to which it is still going on.
00:24:22.100And Tom Homan, the Borders are, said that in Minneapolis, I think they saved like 3,000 kids, something like that, over the last couple of months doing this ice crackdown operation.0.55
00:26:18.580It is something that absolutely has to happen in terms of getting industry back into the United States and making it a viable aspect of what we do economically.
00:26:30.520Manufacturing, making things, investment in the domestic.
00:27:03.020But taking a break from the tariffs for a second here, as we do get ready to root for Team USA in that gold medal game, let's get into some sports talk that bends political.
00:27:47.320Because she's getting paid by the communists to compete for their little vanity project, which is obviously the Olympics.0.94
00:27:56.120You know, in sports, the American people care about sports because we respect the competition, because we respect the desire to be the best, because we absolutely enjoy the drama and the beauty in it and the storyline and all that kind of stuff.
00:28:10.980But it doesn't really, it's not some source of, like, you know, nationalistic pride.
00:28:17.220Yeah, I'm going to root for Team USA in the hockey game, because I'd rather see them beat Canada than lose.
00:28:23.460But, you know, we're a very globalized country in many ways.
00:28:29.120And it doesn't mean that we don't want to defend what it is to be an American or defend the American way of life or stand up for the Western way of life and, you know, the Judeo-Christian way of life.
00:28:39.380Of course, we do want to do all those things if we're conservative.
00:28:43.260But we don't necessarily think about all this stuff in terms of pride and shame and, oh, my gosh.
00:28:50.720But this woman, she competes for China, I guess, because one of her parents are Chinese.1.00
00:29:11.120She's the daughter of Arthur Liu, a Chinese political refugee who fled to the U.S.
00:29:16.720after supporting the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
00:29:19.800So this is the daughter of a man who fled persecution in China, raised his family here, and now she is a gold medalist for the United States of America.
00:29:31.100That is a success story, ladies and gentlemen.
00:29:35.440So what did J.D. Vance do, the vice president?
00:29:37.380Well, naturally, he came out and blasted Gu, who's the American who decided she wanted to compete for the Red Chinese, and that is his right as an American.0.88
00:29:47.880But Gu says, oh, she feels like a punching bag for American politics.
00:32:58.440Because, you know, there's more cash that moved out of the Minneapolis airport over the last two, three years than from JFK Airport in New York City.
00:33:10.120So your little prize is the daycare fraud, the adult care fraud, the Meals on Wheels programs, all the money that you made off that, that's your reparation.
00:33:23.680And hopefully somehow it gets clawed back anyway, but 1-800-848-9222.
00:33:30.180So let's just get back into tariffs for a second here, and then maybe we can squeeze in a phone call.
00:33:35.140Well, we've got to get a commercial break out of the way, too, but the tariffs thing, first of all, it's not going to work anyway.
00:33:44.020The Supreme Court's attempt to stop President Trump from imposing tariffs on foreign trading partners, it's not going to work.
00:33:50.800Treasury Secretary Scott Besson explained on Fox News how this just means that Trump will do it a different way.
00:34:23.400Well, President Trump will do the same thing.
00:34:25.380And this decision that just came down today from the Supreme Court, where all these corporations are going to be looking to get some money back, it's going to be a long court battle.
00:34:36.580But the fascinating thing about this is how so often the people trying to get in the way of Trump and his agenda and foul up the whole thing, they don't even, they're just ineffectual.
00:34:49.600They don't even know what they're doing.
00:34:50.560We could talk about that with the ICE stuff later in the show, but let's listen to Scott Besant in Cut 3, Carlos, because he's explaining what the real impact of this court decision is going to be.
00:35:38.140All those companies in China that are making all this stuff and they want to sell it over here in the United States, they have an incentive to lower their wholesale price.
00:35:48.020So, yeah, sure, the tariff, whatever, it gets paid and it's covered.
00:35:51.560But the net result is that it was China left holding the bag.0.92
00:38:09.400Sometimes, I just want to go back to not knowing who all the senators are and knowing who all the reps are and knowing what these laws are that's going on.
00:38:41.960I'm James Flippin, and it would be great to connect with you after the fact.
00:38:46.120You can follow me on X at XJamesFlippin, or on Instagram, FlippinOutRadio.
00:38:53.280So, in terms of ICE and Immigration Customs Enforcement, New Jersey's governor, Mikey Sherrill, doing everything she can to throw up roadblocks against those agents, encouraging people to take cell phone video and upload it to the website, and ICE agents can't do things from state property and all that kind of stuff.
00:39:12.780Well, down in Maryland, we had a similar thing where a county severed its relationship between the sheriff's department and ICE.
00:39:20.920Let's listen to Cut 4, Carlos, because this sheriff in Maryland just really nails how ineffectual all this stuff is from the political left.
00:39:31.780The abolishment of the 287G program is not the abolishment of ICE.
00:39:44.640I mean, the thing is, the more you try to subvert ICE, stop them from being able to do their job, sever any connection between local cops and federal agents, the more you put your people in danger.
00:39:59.580Anybody who's going to go out there and stomp their feet and chant and hold up and say, hey, hey, ho, ho, we won't go, any of that stuff, they're not safe if the cops aren't working with the federal agents.
00:40:12.100And obviously, everybody in those constituencies aren't safe, constituencies, I should say, if there's no stop on drug dealers and gangbangers and pedophiles and all the terrible criminals ICE routinely gets rid of.
00:40:26.260They can't even subvert America properly, these people.
00:40:45.720When you crack people's rice balls enough, they'll take up arms to defend what they have.0.85
00:40:50.880And we've seen that the political attacks and the lawfare, the violence, when that fails, they turn to the judiciary who acts completely as obstructionist.
00:41:19.200I mean, the simple concept of an executive, the chief executive of the company, or in this case, the country, deciding how much of a tax or levy is going to be placed on imports.
00:41:35.360That's somehow something that needs to get taken all the way to the Supreme Court, whether or not the president has the ability to levy tariffs against other countries.
