President Trump warns U.S. will be struggling for years if Supreme Court rules against him on tariffs.
00:00:10.780
Rob, if you want to play this clip, go ahead, Rob.
00:00:13.740
If we win the tariff case, which hopefully we will, it's vital to the interests of our country.
00:00:21.780
If we don't, we'll be struggling for years to come.
00:00:25.180
Okay, so he says that, let me read this to you as he's going through the tariff situation,
00:00:30.240
which, by the way, I fully, fully agree with him.
00:00:32.800
And a bigger part why I agree with the president is the following.
00:00:38.840
How are you supposed to threaten your enemies when they're using that same thing against us?
00:00:43.580
So another country is putting tariffs on us, but the president needs to go to the Supreme Court and say,
00:00:50.160
hey, can I please get permission to use tariffs?
00:00:56.440
You have to have ways to have leverage to negotiate.
00:01:00.800
It's like a person that's running a business, and they're not getting the right data to see how people are performing.
00:01:10.940
Give me some stats so I can drive the sales team.
00:01:16.100
Moving forward, you can't use tariff to negotiate with other countries.
00:01:18.540
Guess who is sitting there begging, praying to every single god in the world for the Supreme Court to not allow him to use tariffs?
00:01:41.540
So, President Trump said this on Sunday in the ruling.
00:01:45.360
Now, the pharmaceutical, there's a bunch of different things going on with this year where he says,
00:01:50.400
freedom, we don't pay for the wealth of the wealthiest countries,
00:01:53.200
but warned that the Supreme Court striking down his tariffs rule could hurt the U.S. economy over the long haul if we win the tariff case,
00:02:04.040
If we don't, we'll be struggling for years to come.
00:02:06.140
Trump, the president said that his threat of imposing 200% tariffs helps stop a war between India and Pakistan
00:02:11.360
and also said that the tariffs are the main reason companies are investing in facilities in the U.S.
00:02:16.000
to make pharmaceuticals, chips, and other products domestically.
00:02:19.620
The pharmaceuticals are coming back again, already again, already again tariffs.
00:02:23.560
So, essentially, I'm putting tariffs on pharmaceuticals unless they're made here.
00:02:31.740
There's no tariffs they make them here, and all those companies are coming back from Taiwan.
00:02:36.940
They're coming back from all over the world, and they're coming back fast, he added.
00:02:40.800
The president said that the U.S. will have brought in $17 trillion in investments over the first eight months of his term
00:02:46.620
and could be over $20 trillion by the end of the first year, saying it's a miracle what's happening.
00:02:52.280
Well, first of all, Brandon, want to play a game?
00:03:11.080
And all of a sudden, they do a test, and they said, he's using steroids, but they don't suspend you.
00:03:21.840
But then everybody screams, you can't let Tom use steroids and juice.
00:03:29.560
Some of these tariffs have been against the United States for a decade or more.
00:03:34.100
And now the president is saying, I want to swing a bigger bat with a bigger market, and I want to get their attention to say, we're playing a different game.
00:03:43.580
We're going to bring this playing field back, and we're going to level it.
00:03:46.740
And can we, since you just mentioned pharmaceuticals, can we blend in the Merck story?
00:03:50.720
Merck has announced construction of a $3 billion manufacturing facility in Virginia.
00:03:58.100
We're going to make medications here, and we already have the progress he's made on the cost of medications.
00:04:07.080
He's talking about $17 trillion in his first term.
00:04:23.920
In play right now, that is, dirt's being moved, steel being poured.
00:04:30.000
What we have is $1.268 trillion, the Trump effect, already.
00:04:38.520
Some people say, well, Apple's only going to put half of that.
00:04:41.880
Look at Micron, building factories in Idaho and Virginia.
00:04:44.940
IBM, TMSC, that's Taiwan Semiconductor, building $100 billion in Arizona.
00:04:51.860
Look at Texans, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Rhodes.
00:04:55.080
This is—since March 1st, these are greenlit projects.
00:05:01.640
The estimate of $17 trillion for the first term is very real, Pat.
00:05:05.060
This is a half a million jobs that are coming as a result of just what's—the $1.5 trillion
00:05:16.340
And, by the way, you know what the estimate is?
00:05:18.420
The estimate is that there's 70,000 construction jobs that are being created because of these
00:05:38.540
Does the Supreme Court have the ability to do that, to prevent the president from using tariffs?
00:05:43.160
Well, I think the Supreme Court—no, the Supreme Court doesn't walk into a room and say,
00:05:49.920
Somebody has to bring a suit to the Supreme Court.
00:05:54.620
It's the—the Dems put forward an act, and they're asking, are the tariffs unconstitutional
00:06:04.780
And so why on earth would people in our own government want the Supreme Court to rule on
00:06:11.200
this unless they had China money in their own pockets?
00:06:13.860
Yeah, so there actually is a historical precedent for this that explains this.
00:06:18.600
So it used to be Congress that got to decide when to impose tariffs and when not to, but
00:06:22.280
then they gave the power to the president for matters of national security to impose tariffs,
00:06:26.180
which, you know, all of this is a matter of national security, whether, like, for economically
00:06:30.200
and for manufacturing, for weapons, for pharmaceuticals.
00:06:33.640
So that's what it's really—the decisions are being made on is whether or not this is a matter
00:06:38.100
And I believe the reason it got to the Supreme Court is because a lot of courts tried to
00:06:42.520
Like, all these federal courts are getting in the way.
00:06:44.440
But I've heard a lot of people say the founders would be appalled with the way that the judges
00:06:49.340
Like, of all the branches, the judges have gotten far too much power, I think, over the
00:06:55.260
Yeah, it says here, tariffs power belongs to Congress, but delegate it to the president.
00:07:00.120
Congress has the power to lay and collect tax duties and impose and excises, meaning Congress
00:07:06.860
Over the past century, however, Congress has delegated broad authority to the president
00:07:13.360
The Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the Trade Act of 1974, International Emergency Economic
00:07:21.720
The Supreme Court can't directly stop the president, but it can rule on legality.
00:07:25.260
The Supreme Court cannot preemptively block it, but it can review such actions that are being
00:07:30.640
Of course, if Trump steals aluminum tariffs, so they did that in 2018, in the U.S. against
00:07:35.300
George S. Bush and Company, 1930, later trade-related cases, the court recognized Congress' right
00:07:48.000
Yeah, well, I think Trump, this is, backing up a second, this is a win-win situation for
00:07:55.520
It might not be a win-win situation for the American people.
00:07:58.780
We can officially put to rest this whole king and fascist thing.
00:08:03.700
Trump's making these executive orders, making these plans, and here comes the third branch
00:08:16.060
Either he's going to win this case, and it's going to validate what he's doing, and the
00:08:19.400
tariff things are going to happen, or he's going to lose the case, and he's going to
00:08:21.920
officially be able to say, dude, I can't even, as a king, make the decisions on the
00:08:26.400
executive branch, so what we're going to do with tariffs.
00:08:31.420
He's either going to win the narrative and completely dismantle the left's woke, no kings
00:08:35.920
perspective, or he's going to win both and say, I went through the courts.
00:08:41.500
You see, I'm not a king, and the tariffs uphold.
00:08:51.580
And all of a sudden, someone from compliance comes in and goes, well, not so fast, because
00:08:56.960
you have to understand the due diligence of the compliance and your OSJ and your broker
00:09:01.440
dealer, and you're like, dude, I'm trying to drive a million dollars worth of revenue
00:09:08.920
But when do you need compliance, and when do you not?
00:09:12.500
Like, I remember one time I had a call with one of my board members.
00:09:14.640
This is 10 years ago, something like that, eight years ago.
00:09:17.740
And he says, look, I need you to call me every time you make a decision about a quarter of
00:09:37.540
I said, do you realize I make decisions swiftly?
00:09:41.660
You want me to wait for you for something like this?
00:09:48.280
I said, no, we're going to raise that to half a million.
00:09:51.240
And Tom's just going to tell you, I'm not calling for permission.
00:09:56.020
Well, you raised it from a quarter million to a half a million.
00:09:58.540
So you said at a half a million, I will call you.
00:10:03.480
We're just going to tell you we're doing this so you know about it, right?
00:10:07.060
However, there needs to be controls on presidents because today you trust the president's decision
00:10:14.020
What if you don't and it's another guy in there that you're like, wait a minute.
00:10:18.820
He's approving something for LGBT and all this other stuff.
00:10:24.340
This is why the founding fathers created something so special that we are the recipients and the
00:10:34.360
You have $300 billion of revenue that's coming in, potentially in the first year.
00:10:40.720
Why would you get in the way of something that's working?
00:10:50.960
Do you know when would have been a good time to do something like this?
00:10:59.000
You said the Supreme Court should have done it.
00:11:02.160
Rob, can you show how much tariff revenue came in in September?
00:11:09.000
I think there was a $31 billion correction that you saw Trump talking about yesterday.
00:11:12.460
I believe yesterday on the news, late in the day.
00:11:14.420
What was the tariff revenue that came in in September?
00:11:18.820
While he's looking it up, I don't think the Supreme Court's proactively doing this against him.
00:11:22.120
I think they're doing it as a result of other courts doing it.
00:11:26.020
I have the starting point while we're looking this up.
00:11:30.340
It was a coalition of state attorney generals from the following states.
00:11:46.860
Those states came together and filed the injunction.
00:11:50.940
The injunction was filed by that federal court, that judge, and now we have to escalate
00:12:00.860
It's the interest of a coalition of blue attorney generals who are never Trump.
00:12:06.520
If you look at this stat, by the way, a great point to you.
00:12:09.980
Trump has signed the most executive orders in almost 100 years, I want to say.
00:12:16.420
So I think in his first term, I think he signed up to this point, 50 executive orders.
00:12:24.400
It's the most since FDR, which was, sorry, in the 30s, so less than 100 years.
00:12:34.940
I think tariffs is, listen, don't get me wrong.
00:12:40.280
I'm not sitting here telling you it's 100% good for everything.
00:12:43.060
Sometimes when you introduce a new comp or something you're changing, some people quit
00:12:52.860
Then later on, many of those guys come back and they're like, man, I made a mistake.
00:13:01.340
But whenever you change comp, for the first three, six months, there's a little bit of
00:13:16.180
A lot of companies are starting to realize this is not something that's temporary.
00:13:19.720
This is probably going to be here unless if these guys choose to change themselves.
00:13:23.980
If you run a business, if you're in the hunt, you know what business is.
00:13:28.580
You just heard me tell this story about ChatGBT and Google going to war together.
00:13:32.500
You know, for a web browser war that's taking place, business is war.
00:13:37.640
The more you realize this, people are trying to take market share away from you.
00:13:40.780
If you are somebody that's running a business and you've never purchased any of the businesses
00:13:44.720
war, there's businesses wore a hat, sweaters, shirts.
00:13:48.080
If you're looking at it right now, there's different colors.
00:13:53.460
And then also all the way at the bottom, if you love Tommy, is it up there yet, Rob, or
00:14:03.340
There is put the words talks if that's up there.
00:14:12.600
Listen, I am curious to know how many of you guys go pick up this, you know, mug right here.
00:14:24.140
You'll see it all the way at the top and on the cover of it where it says that.
00:14:26.960
And then just type in words talk, you'll find a mug as well.
