Valuetainment - “Number ONE Catastrophic Thing” - Trump’s $3T Tariff Faces Supreme Court SHOCK Decision

00:00:00.000 Trump warned Supreme Court tariff ruling could trigger $3 trillion unwind.

00:00:06.360 By the way, this would be the dumbest thing they ever do, okay, ever do.

00:00:12.180 If they pulled this off, it would be the dumbest thing that they could ever do if they passed this thing.

00:00:17.020 President issued a warning on Monday on Truth Social,

00:00:19.040 claiming that the U.S. Supreme Court received the wrong numbers and pending case

00:00:22.500 that challenges the authority to impose tariffs under emergency powers.

00:00:26.160 Trump said an adverse decision could lead to an economic unwind exceeding $3 trillion,

00:00:30.960 calling it an insurmountable national security event that would be devastating to the future of our country,

00:00:37.780 possibly non-sustainable.

00:00:39.060 The high court is set to review whether Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act

00:00:44.580 to levy tariffs on imported goods without the additional congressional approval was lawful.

00:00:50.100 A ruling against Trump could require the government to refund billions of dollars

00:00:53.980 in duties collected since 2024, potentially reshaping,

00:00:57.800 can you turn off your phone, guys,

00:00:59.160 U.S. trade policy and testing the limits of the presidential economic authority.

00:01:02.540 According to Treasury data reviewed by Fox Business,

00:01:05.380 the U.S. collected more than $213 billion in tariffs revenue through late September 2025,

00:01:10.980 including record monthly totals of more than $31 billion in August

00:01:14.780 and more than $31 billion in September.

00:01:17.260 Earlier in the year, revenues ranged from $17.4 billion to $29 billion in July.

00:01:21.860 Is this the president talking about it, Rob?

00:01:23.980 Yes. This is actually USA Today covering the story.

00:01:26.980 Go for it.

00:01:28.500 U.S. President Donald Trump is warning of an economic and national security disaster

00:01:32.900 if the Supreme Court overturns his use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every country.

00:01:39.160 Speaking Monday, Trump claimed the tariffs have generated trillions in tariff and investment income.

00:01:43.580 Trump had previously floated the idea of using tariff revenues to pay for what he calls a dividend

00:01:59.340 to lower-earning Americans and repeated his plans on Monday.

00:02:02.780 We're going to issue a dividend to our middle-income people and lower-income people of about $2,000,

00:02:11.020 and we're going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt.

00:02:14.680 During last week's role.

00:02:15.700 Pause it right there.

00:02:16.160 So, Tom, talking about these tariffs, one, we talked about this last week.

00:02:21.200 Can they do it?

00:02:22.100 Obviously, they have Supreme Court control right now, which is, what, 6-3?

00:02:25.920 Even if he loses, what's her name, Barrett, Coney Barrett, even if she goes against him, that's still 5-4,

00:02:34.740 so he has the control still.

00:02:36.800 But the reality of it is the fact that this is a topic of discussion they're discussing,

00:02:40.800 I have a few ideas here, but I'm going to go to you first.

00:02:43.180 Tom, go for it.

00:02:43.740 So, here's what I see.

00:02:45.400 Can you guys hear me?

00:02:46.140 Yes.

00:02:46.420 Oh, yeah.

00:02:46.740 Because I can't hear me.

00:02:48.860 Here's what I see.

00:02:50.100 The Supreme Court could come back and say, hey, you don't have the authority under IEPA,

00:02:55.300 the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

00:02:58.260 However, a good Congress would say, but are the tariffs working?

00:03:01.900 Did we get some negotiation?

00:03:03.320 Did we get some results here?

00:03:04.540 Hang on a second.

00:03:05.620 Let's keep this.

00:03:06.480 That's how a functioning, non-militant government would work, but that's not what we have right now.

00:03:12.400 We have a very militant Congress that has a huge block of Democrats that are like,

00:03:17.880 no matter what, get Trump out, hurt Trump, and they really don't care about the economy.

00:03:23.260 So, there is a group in there that unwinding it to create such economic calamity just to grab more

00:03:28.900 seats in power at the midterms coming up in 11 months and two weeks, they would do it.

00:03:36.180 But unwinding this would be horrible, and Trump's comment about unwinding it is true.

00:03:42.800 Companies have come back and said, hey, you know what?

00:03:45.200 Thanks to the tariffs, things have changed.

00:03:47.680 Economics have changed.

00:03:48.960 We're going to invent, just this year, it was $1.5 billion.

00:03:53.280 We're going to invest in the U.S. to bring jobs and stuff back.

00:03:56.940 Well, that's because of the tariffs and the other countries playing nice.

00:04:01.400 And if you unwind it, the other countries can go back and say, well, that was easy.

00:04:06.120 His own Congress just screwed him over, and they're using the Supreme Court decision.

00:04:10.760 So, guess what?

00:04:11.360 We can go back to playing like we used to under Biden.

00:04:14.500 That would be bad.

00:04:15.480 That would be really bad.

00:04:16.560 Not only would it be bad, you know, the amount of success we've had with this, to take it

00:04:22.840 back to we get only $80 billion of revenue every year from tariffs.

00:04:26.240 It's the income we got.

00:04:27.040 We didn't get a lot of revenue from tariffs.

00:04:28.360 Now we are at $300 billion in tariffs, potentially $400 billion trajectory, the way it's going.

00:04:33.920 And then it could lead into a half a trillion dollars per year.

00:04:37.000 Over 10 years could be $5 trillion of revenue coming in, not including all the other people

00:04:41.600 that are being forced to invest in.

00:04:42.800 That's the chart, which we've looked at many times.

00:04:44.820 But I will tell you what I think the president was doing.

00:04:47.300 The president was playing chess with these guys when he said, I'm going to give $2,000

00:04:53.960 income to the people that are low-income earners on the tariff side.

00:04:58.080 And you know what that does?

00:04:59.680 So imagine, he knows if it even gets close to them pushing for this not to happen, he's

00:05:05.620 going to go to the low-income and middle-income and say, they just took a couple thousand

00:05:09.380 dollars away from you.

00:05:10.280 That's yours.

00:05:11.520 They took that away from you.

00:05:12.600 All the taxes they did, they took that away from you.

00:05:14.980 And how do you feel about it?

00:05:16.120 So he's cornering them.

00:05:18.100 I'm 80%.

00:05:18.960 If I were to go to Calci and do a, what do you call it?

00:05:22.560 Whether this is-

00:05:23.160 Open a market and see what the public thinks?

00:05:24.520 If we were to go open up a market, open a market on what we think this is going to

00:05:30.280 do with tariffs passing or not, I would be very optimistic about going through, like

00:05:36.120 I said, it's the dumbest thing if they don't do this.

00:05:38.260 Brandon?

00:05:39.100 Yeah, this is the hill to die on.

00:05:40.620 And the law is a funny thing, the way that you interpret the law.

00:05:43.480 I don't even think that they have the grounds to do this because everybody's looking at

00:05:46.360 tariffs as an economic issue.

00:05:47.780 But no, it's a national security issue.

00:05:49.320 And that's what the Constitution says, that from an economic standpoint, it's in the power

00:05:54.440 of Congress to decide what happens with tariffs.

00:05:56.860 But if it's a matter of national security, then it's the president.

00:05:59.600 And every single thing he's doing with tariffs is a matter of national security.

00:06:03.540 It's not just the $300 billion that he's taken in.

00:06:05.920 It's the trillions that he's been able to negotiate and get people to invest.

00:06:09.600 And that's the main lever he's using for any-

00:06:11.720 What's the national security part?

00:06:12.780 So if we can't threaten countries with tariffs, we have to use another method.

00:06:18.320 And it might be a weaker method.

00:06:19.500 It might be a riskier, more dangerous method.

00:06:21.640 So you could really make anything about national security.

00:06:23.840 Think about all the things the CIA classifies under a matter of national security.

00:06:27.640 You know, a lot of things probably aren't even a matter of national security, but they

00:06:30.520 could say it because it's very vague and broad.

00:06:32.500 So I think that even if they did try to do this, you know, there was a president one

00:06:37.660 time that said, when the Supreme Court ruled against him, he's like, all right, let them

00:06:40.720 enforce it.

00:06:41.260 Go ahead.

00:06:42.180 You know, and it's not like the Roe v. Wade type of issue when the Democrats are mad about

00:06:45.820 that.

00:06:46.160 That's like a social issue.

00:06:47.160 But this one, it's like, let the court enforce it if they try to do this.

00:06:50.280 I don't think they will.

00:06:51.100 But if they do, I don't think he's going to listen to them.

00:06:53.880 And things like chips, rare earth, and magnets are national security.

00:06:57.500 I agree.

00:06:58.120 But this, to me, if it doesn't pass, it's number one catastrophic thing if it doesn't

00:07:06.700 pass.

00:07:07.020 If they stop him.

00:07:08.580 Oh.

00:07:09.640 I don't think you'd listen.

00:07:12.400 I don't think he can.

00:07:14.700 No.

00:07:14.940 How do they enforce it, though?

00:07:15.840 It's a court.

00:07:16.940 What do you mean how do they?

00:07:17.800 Supreme Court?

00:07:18.560 Do they have an army?

00:07:20.060 No, no, no.

00:07:20.660 You can't.

00:07:21.580 That's not how this works.

00:07:22.420 He won't do that.

00:07:23.220 He needs them.

00:07:23.780 He needs them.

00:07:24.460 Because the amount of credibility, if he didn't listen to them, 2028 is a lock.

00:07:30.760 Newsom's your president.

00:07:31.960 A matter of national security, though.

00:07:33.500 If I'm running against him, I'm going to tell him, the guy is completely against the

00:07:40.120 Constitution, has no respect for George Washington, no respect for Thomas Jefferson, no respect

00:07:46.220 for Benjamin Rush.

00:07:47.220 I would go straight there, and they would play that all day long.

00:07:50.760 And they would say, if he's going to break the Constitution, what else is he capable of

00:07:53.300 doing?

00:07:53.480 Now it validates they're no king's kings to say, that's where it goes to.

00:07:58.020 It's the slippery slope.

00:07:59.340 I just think the way he's doing it is the right way.

00:08:01.880 And like I said, I'm less than 10% that they don't do it, that they get in the way of

00:08:06.160 this.

00:08:06.520 Less than 10%.

00:08:07.060 90% is a done deal.

00:08:09.340 And I'm hoping he keeps the, oh, they have this already?

00:08:11.860 Will the Supreme Court rule favor under Trump's?

00:08:13.820 What are they saying?

00:08:14.900 25% chance it will, is what they're saying?

00:08:17.780 That's correct.

00:08:18.580 Will they?

00:08:19.100 Only 25%.

00:08:20.480 So 75% they won't?

00:08:22.480 Yes.

00:08:22.720 They won't reverse Trump's decision, you're saying.

00:08:25.260 No, no, no.

00:08:25.980 Explain to me, because I'm about to put some money on.

00:08:27.980 Rob, did you just post this right now yourself?

00:08:29.840 No, no.

00:08:30.260 I just Googled and found this through Kalshi.

00:08:33.300 So 25% of people believe the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Trump.

00:08:37.780 So the other 75% against Trump.

00:08:42.160 What?

00:08:42.400 Like it's not going to go.

00:08:43.300 But there's not a lot of crowd on that.

00:08:45.540 Zero activity.

00:08:46.260 It's zero volume.

00:08:46.900 So it's not like there's anyone involved in it for this to have any credibility right

00:08:50.960 now.

00:08:51.360 Here's what the Speaker of the House could do in one sentence.

00:08:54.060 Yeah.

00:08:54.640 Ladies and gentlemen, if the Supreme Court says that certain tariffs here are not national

00:08:59.520 security protected by IEPA, then we'll take a resolution up here in Congress to maintain

00:09:04.080 the tariffs as issued.

00:09:06.080 Bang.

00:09:06.780 Goes the gavel.

00:09:07.640 Yeah.

00:09:07.780 That's all the Speaker has to do.

00:09:10.060 Yeah.

00:09:10.200 Now he's got to get 60%, but now he would be putting the vote on the back of Congress.

00:09:15.460 Do you see that, Pat?

00:09:16.320 Yeah.

00:09:16.560 Yeah.

00:09:16.700 You know what?

00:09:17.120 Let's just take a vote and keep it.

00:09:19.040 And now, okay, Chuck Schumer, gather up all your buddies in the House over there across

00:09:26.440 the hallway and say no.

00:09:30.320 Say no to the American people.

00:09:31.640 Do it.

00:09:32.120 Yeah.

00:09:32.400 Do it.

00:09:33.060 Right.

00:09:33.320 Yeah.

00:09:33.480 Where is Mike Johnson?

00:09:34.320 He was best friends with Trump at first when he first got in, but I've heard a lot from

00:09:37.600 him.

00:09:38.040 Isn't that the only thing that Johnson would have to do?

00:09:40.300 Okay.

00:09:40.600 If the Supreme Court says some of this is not national security, the ones are national security,

00:09:43.980 we leave them alone.

00:09:44.700 The other ones, we vote.

00:09:46.140 No problem.

00:09:46.800 Yeah.

00:09:47.000 I'm just confused.

00:09:48.100 There's nine Supreme Court justices.

00:09:50.800 Six of them are conservative, right?

00:09:52.800 So what do you think that they're trying to talk to the conservative ones, the Democrats

00:09:56.580 and saying, hey, just trust us.

00:09:58.100 Let's screw them over.

00:09:58.860 He's like, what?

00:09:59.460 I don't understand the logic in trying to destroy what this guy is building.

00:10:03.860 And I get it.

00:10:04.760 They hate Trump.

00:10:05.500 Everything's anti-Trump.

00:10:07.100 That's the logic.

00:10:08.140 That's unbelievable.

00:10:09.580 But mainstream media is not telling these people nothing.

00:10:12.800 It's just all feelings.

00:10:14.080 Well, it all comes down.

00:10:15.100 Never.

00:10:15.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:16.260 It all comes down to what the law, quote unquote, allows, right?

00:10:19.960 So I was watching this debate on Fareed Zakaria.

00:10:22.920 There was a Harvard law professor who specializes in tariffs, which he called, quote unquote, regulating

00:10:28.360 imports, which are just tariffs.

00:10:29.820 And then there was a Justice Department advocate over there, basically debating.

00:10:34.680 And it's all legalese.

00:10:36.140 It's all law.

00:10:36.640 You know, you said how lawyers are ruining America.

00:10:38.240 They're hanging out in playgrounds just looking for kids that slip and fall and hurt themselves

00:10:43.360 and then sue people.

00:10:43.960 It's all legal stuff, which is beyond basically our understanding.

00:10:48.300 But Peabody made a good point.

00:10:50.800 Trump's either a fascist and he doesn't listen to anybody and he just kind of does what he

00:10:55.080 wants, or he actually has to abide by the rulings of the law.

00:10:58.260 And the Supreme Court ruling, whether they like it or not, is going to get in their way.

00:11:01.240 This is the whole premise of America and checks and balances and the executive and the judicial

00:11:05.560 and the legislative and the whole part with the legislative.

00:11:08.080 When Trump announced Liberation Day, which was what, in April, I believe, this has all

00:11:13.760 sort of been culminating since then.

00:11:17.860 So if he is a fascist, then he can't, he has to go through this.

00:11:23.320 The big issue that I have a problem with, the big, big issue is enough with the printing

00:11:28.020 money and just giving people money.

00:11:29.600 This $2,000, quote unquote, dividend.

00:11:32.540 So how many people are going to qualify this?

00:11:34.580 A hundred million people at least?

00:11:36.240 I would like him to keep it as low as possible as 10 million people.

00:11:40.480 I don't even want anybody to get this freaking money.

00:11:42.260 Because if a hundred million people get $2,000, that's $200 billion just given to people.

00:11:45.900 Let me tell you how this works.

00:11:47.360 Of course, I don't want anybody to get any kind of entitlement money.

00:11:50.660 But if it came out of his mouth and he doesn't keep it, then you're playing games.

00:11:56.400 It came out of his mouth.

00:11:57.820 He already said it.

00:11:59.480 He has to do something.

00:12:01.380 Okay, now if you do it only for 5 million people, 10 million people, 20 million people,

00:12:05.000 there's got to be something that goes to a certain percentage of people to say, we came

00:12:09.680 through.

00:12:09.940 But who are those people?

00:12:11.140 I don't know.

00:12:11.700 All I'm saying is if it came out of his mouth, he has to keep it.

00:12:14.280 Let's give it to the families with kids, take care of them, the working families, enough 1.00

00:12:18.000 with the welfare state.

00:12:18.740 Let me tell you what's going on today.

00:12:20.020 We haven't done this in a while.

00:12:21.160 So this is probably going to go in 30 minutes.

00:12:24.180 We have a new hat that we've been working on for months.

00:12:27.120 And it's officially here in two colors.

00:12:29.740 Each are limited, numbered.

00:12:31.820 At a 150, they will go like this.

00:12:34.980 Having said that, here's our latest Future Looks Brighthead.

00:12:37.700 Go ahead, Rob.

00:12:40.940 Vinny, look at that.

00:12:43.200 By the way, it's sick black and white.

00:12:45.020 Who's that guy?

00:13:01.660 Who was that male model?

00:13:02.660 Who was it, actually?

00:13:03.380 Justin.

00:13:04.540 Is it?

00:13:05.420 Yeah.

00:13:05.660 No, it's not.

00:13:06.180 Is that really Justin?

00:13:09.100 Well, Justin kind of is a male model.

00:13:11.660 Let's give it a little credit.

00:13:13.200 Come on.

00:13:16.020 Sick.

00:13:16.520 We're going to go with Rob first.

00:13:18.340 I love it.
