The media is falsely reporting that Republicans will undermine Trump's tariff policies. Senator James Lankford clarifies that the real challenge to Trump's tariffs will likely come from the courts, not Congress. A tariff control bill narrowly passed in the Senate but is unlikely to succeed in the House, and Trump retains veto power.
  • Senator Lankford believes the courts, not Congress, will be the main challenge to Trump's tariffs.
  • A tariff control bill narrowly passed the Senate with Republican support but faces dim prospects in the House.
  • Trump maintains veto power over the tariff control bill.
  • Lankford believes Trump is right about unfair trade practices and anticipates new trade agreements.

Shownotes Transcript

Supreme Court Ruling on Deportations:

  • The Supreme Court lifted a block from a US District Judge, allowing the Trump administration to deport suspected illegal alien gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

  • The ruling was described as narrow, focusing on the proper venue for the cases rather than the administration's use of the law.

  • The decision was a 5-4 split, with the Supreme Court finding that the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, D.C., instead of Texas.****

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi described the Supreme Court decision as a landmark victory for the rule of law.

  • Bondi emphasized that an activist judge in Washington, D.C., does not have the jurisdiction to control President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy.
