Valuetainment - ＂$1.3 TRILLION In Tariff Revenue＂ - Supreme Court's Trump Tariff Decision Will MAKE Or BREAK America

00:00:00.000 President Trump warns U.S. will be struggling for years if Supreme Court rules against him on tariffs.

00:00:08.320 Trump warns U.S. will be struggling.

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.

00:00:19.200 We're the wealthiest country there is.

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.

00:00:36.220 How the hell are you supposed to negotiate?

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?

00:00:53.140 Are you kidding me?

00:00:54.080 Like, how does that make any sense?

00:00:56.440 You have to have ways to have leverage to negotiate.

00:00:59.040 You're cutting the person out.

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.

00:01:06.740 Say, hey, can you go drive the sales team?

00:01:08.700 Give me some data.

00:01:10.940 Give me some stats so I can drive the sales team.

00:01:13.600 I don't have it.

00:01:14.520 Well, guess what, president?

00:01:15.480 What's that?

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?

00:01:27.880 China? 0.73

00:01:29.100 Who else do you think?

00:01:30.120 All our enemies.

00:01:30.560 Russia? 0.61

00:01:31.480 Who else do you think?

00:01:32.000 Everyone betting against America.

00:01:33.260 India?

00:01:33.640 Everybody.

00:01:33.900 Everybody is rooting for Supreme Court.

00:01:36.880 Fortune 500.

00:01:37.280 Everybody is rooting for Supreme Court.

00:01:39.460 Fortune 500 companies.

00:01:40.880 A ton of them.

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,

00:01:59.760 which hopefully we will.

00:02:00.700 It's vital to the interests of our country.

00:02:02.660 We're the wealthiest country there is.

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.

00:02:27.000 They're all coming back.

00:02:28.480 Trump said chips.

00:02:29.240 I put a big tariff on chips.

00:02:30.740 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.

00:02:51.200 Tom, your thoughts on the story?

00:02:52.280 Well, first of all, Brandon, want to play a game?

00:02:56.060 Yeah.

00:02:56.640 Okay.

00:02:57.520 I've been using steroids for a decade.

00:02:59.580 That's a tariff.

00:03:00.380 Can't tell, Tom.

00:03:00.880 I'm the pitcher.

00:03:01.580 You're the batter.

00:03:03.120 Okay.

00:03:03.840 Brandon's been using steroids for a decade.

00:03:05.740 Okay.

00:03:06.040 He's pitching, and I'm the baseball player.

00:03:10.020 I'm at bat.

00:03:10.680 Yep.

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.

00:03:17.960 They just say, you know what, Tom?

00:03:19.780 You can use steroids.

00:03:20.980 And I'm like, great.

00:03:21.840 But then everybody screams, you can't let Tom use steroids and juice.

00:03:27.220 Wait.

00:03:28.260 Brandon's been using it for a decade.

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?

00:03:50.320 Of course.

00:03:50.720 Merck has announced construction of a $3 billion manufacturing facility in Virginia.

00:03:56.060 Wow.

00:03:56.460 How did that happen?

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.

00:04:04.220 We saw that.

00:04:05.000 And Rob, check this out.

00:04:07.080 He's talking about $17 trillion in his first term.

00:04:10.480 Let's go find the chart that we had here.

00:04:12.700 Remember, guess how much is in play right now?

00:04:19.040 No, no.

00:04:20.820 I sent you the—

00:04:22.060 Tom, keep going.

00:04:22.680 Guess how much is in play right now?

00:04:23.920 In play right now, that is, dirt's being moved, steel being poured.

00:04:29.120 There it is right there.

00:04:30.000 What we have is $1.268 trillion, the Trump effect, already.

00:04:36.560 And take a look at what's happening.

00:04:38.520 Some people say, well, Apple's only going to put half of that.

00:04:40.940 Okay, ignore 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.

00:04:50.200 That one actually started under Biden.

00:04:51.860 Look at Texans, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Rhodes.

00:04:54.440 Look at all this.

00:04:55.080 This is—since March 1st, these are greenlit projects.

00:05:00.400 It's not just an estimate.

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

00:05:11.580 that's being invested since March 1st.

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

00:05:26.180 things that need to be built.

00:05:27.700 This is called the Trump effect.

00:05:29.600 This is not BS.

00:05:31.160 This is words, talk, numbers, scream.

00:05:33.740 Look at what's already happening.

00:05:35.720 Just give these jobs time to get here.

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,

00:05:47.300 hey, I think I'm going to rule on something.

00:05:49.920 Somebody has to bring a suit to the Supreme Court.

00:05:53.180 And you have to go take a look.

00:05:54.620 It's the—the Dems put forward an act, and they're asking, are the tariffs unconstitutional

00:06:01.580 in terms of the president's power?

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

00:06:37.340 of national security.

00:06:38.100 And I believe the reason it got to the Supreme Court is because a lot of courts tried to

00:06:41.700 block Trump doing it.

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

00:06:48.480 are using their power.

00:06:49.340 Like, of all the branches, the judges have gotten far too much power, I think, over the

00:06:52.900 last decade or last century.

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

00:07:05.580 controls tariffs.

00:07:06.860 Over the past century, however, Congress has delegated broad authority to the president

00:07:10.200 to adjust tariffs under specific laws.

00:07:13.360 The Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the Trade Act of 1974, International Emergency Economic

00:07:19.340 Powers Act.

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

00:07:29.680 challenged by other courts.

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

00:07:40.860 to delegate limited trade power.

00:07:44.740 Anyways, I don't know about this.

00:07:46.880 Adam, your thoughts?

00:07:48.000 Yeah, well, I think Trump, this is, backing up a second, this is a win-win situation for

00:07:54.080 Trump, regardless of what happens.

00:07:55.520 It might not be a win-win situation for the American people.

00:07:57.980 Why?

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

00:08:07.780 of government.

00:08:08.320 The judicial says, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:08:10.400 Not so fast, king.

00:08:12.040 King Trump.

00:08:13.120 Not so quick.

00:08:14.220 So one of two things is going to happen.

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.

00:08:29.660 So to me, he's going to win either way.

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.

00:08:40.160 The courts ruled in my favor.

00:08:41.500 You see, I'm not a king, and the tariffs uphold.

00:08:44.180 You know what it reminds me of?

00:08:46.260 In business, you're doing sales.

00:08:49.560 Yeah.

00:08:49.800 You're doing marketing.

00:08:50.580 You're trying to drive revenue.

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

00:09:04.720 here.

00:09:05.400 You're blocking that.

00:09:06.720 The difference is so-

00:09:07.520 It's a major issue.

00:09:08.340 It is.

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

00:09:22.720 a million dollars.

00:09:23.520 I said, no, I'm not doing that.

00:09:25.180 He says, no, no, Tom, you remember this.

00:09:26.740 I said, no, I'm not going to call you.

00:09:27.900 It was the biggest call.

00:09:29.440 He says, why are you not going to call me?

00:09:30.780 I said, we just gave you 10 million bucks.

00:09:31.940 He's a board member.

00:09:32.880 No, no, he gave me the 10 million bucks.

00:09:34.700 He says, you got to-

00:09:36.240 I said, I'm not calling you.

00:09:37.100 He says, why?

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?

00:09:44.600 I'm not calling you.

00:09:45.380 He says, can you at least tell Tom to tell me?

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.

00:09:53.840 I got to go.

00:09:54.720 Now, that's-

00:09:56.020 Well, you raised it from a quarter million to a half a million.

00:09:58.160 Yeah, I raised it.

00:09:58.540 So you said at a half a million, I will call you.

00:10:00.080 But I don't know.

00:10:00.720 I don't need to call you.

00:10:01.540 Tom will tell you.

00:10:02.420 I'm not calling you.

00:10:03.480 We're just going to tell you we're doing this so you know about it, right?

00:10:05.740 The decision that we're making.

00:10:07.060 However, there needs to be controls on presidents because today you trust the president's decision

00:10:13.740 making.

00:10:14.020 What if you don't and it's another guy in there that you're like, wait a minute.

00:10:17.100 I don't like what this guy's doing.

00:10:18.820 He's approving something for LGBT and all this other stuff.

00:10:21.420 And you're like, hey, wait a minute.

00:10:22.580 So there needs to be a little bit of that.

00:10:24.340 This is why the founding fathers created something so special that we are the recipients and the

00:10:30.540 beneficiaries of.

00:10:31.280 But at this point, it's working.

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?

00:10:43.280 And it's bringing jobs back to America.

00:10:45.680 Why would you do that?

00:10:46.820 Let it roll.

00:10:48.000 Let it keep going.

00:10:49.160 You have data.

00:10:50.120 You have stats.

00:10:50.960 Do you know when would have been a good time to do something like this?

00:10:54.980 Month one.

00:10:55.880 You don't have data.

00:10:57.180 Now he's got proof.

00:10:58.240 Hey, look at it.

00:10:59.000 You said the Supreme Court should have done it.

00:11:00.380 Yeah.

00:11:00.680 I mean, Tom.

00:11:01.400 Liberation Day.

00:11:02.160 Rob, can you show how much tariff revenue came in in September?

00:11:06.160 Was it $64 billion, the number?

00:11:08.580 How much was it?

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?

00:11:17.700 September.

00:11:18.360 Yeah.

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.

00:11:24.020 I know they are.

00:11:24.660 I know they are.

00:11:26.020 I have the starting point while we're looking this up.

00:11:28.840 Do you want to hear the starting point, Pat?

00:11:29.580 Go ahead, Tom.

00:11:30.340 It was a coalition of state attorney generals from the following states.

00:11:34.220 I'm going to read them fast.

00:11:35.120 You say red or blue, okay?

00:11:36.340 Okay.

00:11:36.620 Oregon.

00:11:37.380 Blue.

00:11:38.280 Okay.

00:11:38.780 Connecticut.

00:11:39.380 Blue.

00:11:39.660 Delaware.

00:11:40.200 Blue.

00:11:40.460 Illinois.

00:11:41.100 Blue.

00:11:41.440 Maine.

00:11:41.940 Blue.

00:11:42.220 Minnesota.

00:11:42.840 Blue.

00:11:43.120 Nevada.

00:11:43.680 Blue.

00:11:43.840 New Mexico.

00:11:44.700 Blue.

00:11:45.000 New York.

00:11:45.680 Blue.

00:11:45.980 Vermont.

00:11:46.520 Blue.

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

00:11:57.180 it.

00:11:57.680 So look who's trying to do it.

00:11:59.240 It's not the interest of the United States.

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.

00:12:21.200 2025, it says 210.

00:12:23.200 He's 4x executive orders.

00:12:24.400 It's the most since FDR, which was, sorry, in the 30s, so less than 100 years.

00:12:28.640 So perhaps this is pushback against this.

00:12:32.220 How do you?

00:12:32.900 I don't know.

00:12:33.480 Those are two different things.

00:12:34.940 I think tariffs is, listen, don't get me wrong.

00:12:38.480 Some people are being impacted by it.

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

00:12:47.700 and some people leave.

00:12:50.520 And some just simply say, I can't do that.

00:12:52.860 Then later on, many of those guys come back and they're like, man, I made a mistake.

00:12:56.820 I know.

00:12:57.860 It's too late.

00:12:58.720 You missed the momentum, right?

00:13:00.200 But some people go.

00:13:01.340 But whenever you change comp, for the first three, six months, there's a little bit of

00:13:06.020 disruption.

00:13:06.900 Of course, that's for a company.

00:13:08.260 For a country, guess how long that lasts?

00:13:10.160 Probably 12 to 24 months.

00:13:12.260 So we're still in it.

00:13:13.640 We're still kind of going through it.

00:13:15.080 But people have to adjust.

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.

00:13:27.720 It truly is a war. 0.67

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.

00:13:51.920 The gold ones, you got the mugs.

00:13:53.460 And then also all the way at the bottom, if you love Tommy, is it up there yet, Rob, or

00:13:58.240 no?

00:13:58.820 Do we have the ones for Tom's mugs yet or no?

00:14:01.200 I don't know if they do or not.

00:14:03.340 There is put the words talks if that's up there.

00:14:06.360 And this one here.

00:14:07.400 If you love Tom, $10.

00:14:09.820 Add that words talk number scream. 0.99

00:14:12.600 Listen, I am curious to know how many of you guys go pick up this, you know, mug right here.
