1:21
Speaker 2: well thank you very much for being. Here The Supreme
1:25
Speaker 2: court's ruling on tariffs is deeply, disappointing And i'm ashamed
1:32
Speaker 2: of certain members of The, court absolutely ashamed for not
1:37
Speaker 2: having the courage to do what's right for our. Country
1:41
Speaker 2: i'd like to thank and Congratulate Justices, Thomas alito And
1:44
Speaker 2: kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our,
1:50
Speaker 2: country which is right now very proud of those. Justices
1:56
Speaker 2: when you read the dissenting, opinions there's no way that
1:59
Speaker 2: any one can argue against. Them there's no. Way foreign
2:06
Speaker 2: countries that have been ripping us off for years are.
2:09
Speaker 2: Ecstatic they're so happy and they're dancing in the. Streets
2:14
Speaker 2: but they won't be dancing for. Long THAT i can assure.
2:18
Speaker 2: You The democrats on The court are, thrilled but they
2:24
Speaker 2: will automatically vote. No they're an automatic, no just like In.
2:27
Speaker 2: Congress they're an automatic. No they're against anything that Makes america, strong,
2:33
Speaker 2: healthy and great. Again they also are a frankly disgrace
2:39
Speaker 2: to our, nation those. Justices they are an automatic. No
2:43
Speaker 2: no matter how good a case you, have it, said.
2:45
Speaker 2: No you can't knock their. Loyalty it's one thing you
2:53
Speaker 2: can do with some of our. People others think they're
2:58
Speaker 2: being politically, correct which has happened before far too often
3:03
Speaker 2: with certain members of This, court and it's happened so
3:06
Speaker 2: often with This. Court what a shame having to do
3:10
Speaker 2: with voting in, particular when in fact they're just being
3:15
Speaker 2: fools and lapdogs for The rhinos and the radical Left,
3:18
Speaker 2: democrats and not that they should have anything at all
3:22
Speaker 2: to do with. It they're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our.
3:26
Speaker 2: Constitution it's my opinion that The court has been swayed
3:30
Speaker 2: by foreign interest and a political movement that is far
3:34
Speaker 2: smaller than people would ever. Think it's a small.
3:38
Speaker 3: MOVEMENT i won by millions of. Votes we won in a.
3:42
Speaker 2: Landslide with all the cheating that went, on there was
3:46
Speaker 2: a lot of, it but we still wanted a landslide
3:48
Speaker 2: too big to. Rick but these people are, obnoxious ignorant and.
3:52
Speaker 2: Loud they're very, loud AND i think certain.
3:56
Speaker 3: Justices are afraid of. That they don't want to do
3:59
Speaker 3: the right. Thing they're afraid of.
4:01
Speaker 2: It this was an important case to me more as
4:06
Speaker 2: a symbol of economic national, security and ALSO i would
4:12
Speaker 2: say just for a country, itself so important because we're
4:17
Speaker 2: doing so well as a.
4:18
Speaker 3: Country we've never done so, well.
4:20
Speaker 2: The good news is that there are, methods, practices, statutes
4:25
Speaker 2: and authorities as recognized by the Entire court in this terrible,
4:30
Speaker 2: decision and also as recognized By congress which they refer,
4:34
Speaker 2: to that are even stronger than THE aipa tariffs available
4:39
Speaker 2: to me As president of The United, states and in,
4:42
Speaker 2: ACTUALITY i was very modest in my ask of other
4:45
Speaker 2: countries and businesses BECAUSE i wanted to do and it's very.
4:51
Speaker 2: IMPORTANT i wanted to be very well behaved BECAUSE i
4:56
Speaker 2: wanted to do. ANYTHING i didn't want to do anything
4:58
Speaker 2: that would affect the decision of The, court BECAUSE i
5:01
Speaker 2: understand the, COURT i understand how they are very easily.
5:06
Speaker 3: SWAYED i want to be a good.
5:08
Speaker 2: BOY i have very effectively utilized tariffs over the past
5:15
Speaker 2: year to Make america great. Again our stock market has
5:19
Speaker 2: just recently broken fifty thousand on The dow and simultaneously
5:25
Speaker 2: and even more amazingly broken seventy broken seven thousand on
5:31
Speaker 2: THE s AND, p two numbers that everybody thought upon
5:33
Speaker 2: our landslide election victory could not be. Attained think of.
5:39
Speaker 2: That nobody thought it was possible to do it within four,
5:42
Speaker 2: years and we did it in one. Year they, said
5:46
Speaker 2: you'll never be. Able you go back and you read the,
5:50
Speaker 2: geniuses read their, statements all of The Nobel prize winners in.
5:56
Speaker 2: Economics they, said, no you couldn't do it in four. Years,
6:00
Speaker 2: well we didn't do it in four.
6:01
Speaker 3: Years we did it in one.
6:02
Speaker 2: Year we broke every record in the book and were
6:05
Speaker 2: continuing to do. So tariffs have likewise been used to
6:10
Speaker 2: end five of the eight wars THAT i.
6:12
Speaker 3: SETTLE i settled eight, wars whether you like it or, not.

Speaker 2: Yesterday That President trump could have saved thirty five million
6:32
Speaker 2: lives by getting us to stop. Fighting they were getting
6:36

6:40
Speaker 2: great national. Security these tariffs have and together with our strong,
6:44

7:18
Speaker 2: alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that
7:20
Speaker 2: the court incorrectly. Rejected we have. Alternatives great. Alternatives could
7:27
Speaker 2: be more. Money we'll take in more money and will
7:30
Speaker 2: be a lot stronger for. It we're taking in hundreds
7:32

7:43
Speaker 2: i can't judge one, dollar.
7:46
Speaker 3: Can't charge a.
7:47
Speaker 2: DOLLAR i would have used one, penny but we don't
7:50
Speaker 2: make the pennies.
7:51
Speaker 3: Anymore we save.
7:51
Speaker 2: Money can't charge one dollar to any country UNDER, apa
7:57
Speaker 2: not one.
7:58
Speaker 3: Dollar assume to protect other.
8:01
Speaker 2: Countries this must have been done to protect those other,
8:03
Speaker 2: countries certainly not The United states Of, america which they
8:07
Speaker 2: should be interested in, protecting and that's what they're supposed
8:10
Speaker 2: to be. Protecting BUT i am allowed to cut off
8:13
Speaker 2: any and all trade or business with that same. Country
8:17
Speaker 2: in other, WORDS i can destroy the, TRADE i can
8:19
Speaker 2: destroy the Country i'm even allowed to impose a foreign

8:49
Speaker 1: Remarks the president also calling this last minute press conference
8:53
Speaker 1: to make it very clear what he will do in
8:55
Speaker 1: response to all. This not only Did President trump rip
8:59
Speaker 1: The Supreme court, justices but he.
9:02
Speaker 4: Also said he's not a lab.
9:04
Speaker 1: Dog The american people gave him a mandate and he's
9:06
Speaker 1: going to keep working forward on that. Mandate here's more
9:10
Speaker 1: of what The president had to, say.
9:12
Speaker 3: Because that's not what it, says and that's not the
9:15
Speaker 3: way it even.
9:16
Speaker 2: READS i can do ANYTHING i want to do to,
9:19
Speaker 2: them BUT i can't judge any. Money So i'm allowed

Speaker 2: FEE i could give them a two cent, fee BUT
9:31
Speaker 2: i cannot charge under any. CIRCUMSTANCES i cannot charge them.
9:35
Speaker 2: Anything think of, that how ridiculous is That i'm allowed

Speaker 2: do business in The United states. Anymore we want you
9:43
Speaker 2: out of. Here but IF i want to charge them ten,
9:47
Speaker 2: DOLLARS i can't do. That it's, incorrect their decisions. Incorrect
9:51
Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter because we have very powerful alternatives
9:55
Speaker 2: that have.
9:56
Speaker 3: Been approved by this.
9:57
Speaker 2: Decision you, know they've been approved by the decision for
10:00
Speaker 2: those that thought they had. Us and they're saying THAT
10:05
Speaker 2: i have the absolute right to, license but not the
10:08
Speaker 2: right to charge a license.
10:09
Speaker 3: Fee so think of. THAT i have the right to.
10:11
Speaker 2: License it's a very powerful. Word in many. Ways license
10:15
Speaker 2: is more powerful than. Tariffs in, FACT i was thinking
10:17
Speaker 2: about using. It but they came up with the idea
10:20
Speaker 2: THAT i can, license just like the people that were
10:24
Speaker 2: opposing me told them to, do but not the right
10:28
Speaker 2: to charge a license.
10:29
Speaker 3: Fee think of. That whoever heard of such a?
10:32
Speaker 2: Thing what license has ever been issued without the right
10:35
Speaker 2: to charge a? Fee you get a license to charge of,
10:37
Speaker 2: fee it's, automatic but not with this. Court but now
10:41
Speaker 2: the court has given me the unquestioned right to ban
10:44
Speaker 2: all sorts of things from coming into our, country to
10:47
Speaker 2: destroy foreign, countries but a much more powerful right than
10:52
Speaker 2: many people ever thought we even, had but not the
10:56
Speaker 2: right to charge. Fee how crazy is? That our country
11:00
Speaker 2: is the hottest country anywhere in the world right, now
11:04
Speaker 2: and it was a dead country one and a half years.
11:06
Speaker 3: Ago under an incompetent.
11:08
Speaker 2: President but Now i'm going to go in a different,
11:11
Speaker 2: direction probably the direction THAT i should have gone the first.
11:17
Speaker 3: Time BUT i read the.
11:19
Speaker 2: Language i'm very good at reading, language and it read
11:21
Speaker 2: our way one hundred.
11:22
Speaker 3: Percent but Now i'll go the WAY i could have.
11:24
Speaker 2: Gone, originally which is even stronger than our original. Choice
11:30
Speaker 2: As Justice, kavanaugh whose stock has gone so you have to,
11:34
Speaker 2: See i'm so proud of, him.
11:37
Speaker 3: Wrote in his.
11:38
Speaker 2: Descent ALTHOUGH i firmly disagree with the courts holding, today
11:44
Speaker 2: the decision might not substantially constrain a president's ability to
11:49
Speaker 2: order tariffs going.
11:50
Speaker 3: Forward SO.
11:53
Speaker 2: I think of that the decision might not substantially, constrain
11:59
Speaker 2: and it.
11:59
Speaker 3: Doesn't.
12:00
Speaker 2: Right in, FACT i can charge much more THAN i was, Charging.
12:04
Speaker 3: So i'm going to just.
12:05
Speaker 2: Start ALTHOUGH i firmly disagree with the course holding, today
12:09
Speaker 2: the decision might not substantially constrain a president's ability to order.
12:14
Speaker 2: Tariffs going. Forward that's because numerous other federal, statutes which
12:20
Speaker 2: is so, true authorized the president to impose tariffs and
12:25
Speaker 2: might justify, most if not, all of the tariffs issued
12:30
Speaker 2: in this, case even more. Tariffs actually those statues.
12:34
Speaker 3: Include think of. That those statutes.
12:38
Speaker 2: Include for, example The Trade Expansion act of nineteen sixty,
12:43
Speaker 2: two section thirty, two all of these THINGS i know so.
12:47
Speaker 2: Well The Trade act of nineteen seventy four sections one
12:52
Speaker 2: twenty two two or one to three h, one and
12:54
Speaker 2: The Tariff act of nineteen thirty section three thirty eight
12:58
Speaker 2: or clears a little bit longer. PROCESS i thought that
13:02
Speaker 2: make things, simple but they didn't let us do. THAT
13:05
Speaker 2: i would like to thank just this capital for his,
13:08
Speaker 2: frankly his, genius anders his great. Ability very proud of
13:14
Speaker 2: that appointment in. Actuality, why WHILE i am sure that
13:19
Speaker 2: they did not mean to do, so The Supreme court's
13:22
Speaker 2: decision today made a president's ability to both regulate trade
13:26
Speaker 2: and impose tariffs more powerful and more crystal, clear rather than.
13:33
Speaker 3: LESS i don't think they meant. That i'm sure they.
13:35
Speaker 2: Didn't it's terrible and to think that The democrats who
13:41
Speaker 2: opposed this only because they want to go the opposite.
13:43
Speaker 2: Way they'd like to pack the. Court they want to
13:46
Speaker 2: put on twenty one. People they want to pack the,
13:48
Speaker 2: court pack The Supreme. Court maybe they should do. It
13:52
Speaker 2: maybe they would be better off if they did. It
13:54
Speaker 2: they want to pack the. Court they want to do
13:57
Speaker 2: anything to hurt our. Country there will no longer be any,
14:01
Speaker 2: doubt and the income coming in and the protection of
14:05
Speaker 2: our companies and country will actually increase because of this.
14:09
Speaker 3: DECISION i don't think The court meant, that but that's the.
14:14
Speaker 2: Way it, is based on a longstanding law and hundreds of,
14:18
Speaker 2: victories and even AS i was pointed out, before even
14:22
Speaker 2: thousands of victories over the. Years to the, contrary The
14:26
Speaker 2: Supreme court did not overrule. Tariffs they merely overruled a
14:30
Speaker 2: particular use OF aepa tariffs and essentially as to use
14:35
Speaker 2: to get a. FEE i can do ANYTHING i want
14:38
Speaker 2: WITH aepa, ANYTHING i just.
14:41
Speaker 5: Can't charge anybody for. IT i can, LICENSE i just
14:45
Speaker 5: can't charge. Them it's, ridiculous but it's okay because we
14:48
Speaker 5: have other, ways numerous other.
14:51
Speaker 2: Ways the ability to, block, embargo, restrict, license or impose
14:58
Speaker 2: any other condition on a foreign country's ability to conduct
15:03
Speaker 2: trade with The United states UNDER aepa has.
15:08
Speaker 3: Been fully confirmed by this.
15:09
Speaker 2: Decision so now there's no doubt because you, know there
15:13
Speaker 2: were a lot of questions about, tariffs because no president
15:16
Speaker 2: was smart enough to use them to protect our country
15:18
Speaker 2: from those countries and businesses that were ripping us. Off
15:22
Speaker 2: you took a look at the deficits that we had
15:24
Speaker 2: with some of these. Countries who was disgraceful what they
15:26
Speaker 2: got away with.
15:27
Speaker 3: For, many many.
15:28
Speaker 2: Decades but now we know because this decision affirms all
15:33
Speaker 2: those things that some people weren't sure about in order
15:37
Speaker 2: to protect and it says so in order to protect our,
15:41
Speaker 2: country a president can actually charge more tariffs THAN i
15:46
Speaker 2: was charging in the past period of a year under
15:51
Speaker 2: the various tariffs. Authorities so we can use other of the,
15:55
Speaker 2: statutes other of the tariff, authorities which have also been
16:01
Speaker 2: confirmed and are fully, allowed therefore effective immediately all national
16:10
Speaker 2: security tariffs Under section two thirty, two in Existing section
16:14
Speaker 2: three oh one, tariffs they're, Existing they're, there remain in,
16:19
Speaker 2: place fully in, place.
16:22
Speaker 3: And in full force and.
16:23
Speaker 2: Effect TODAY i will sign in order to impose a
16:27
Speaker 2: ten percent global tariff Under section one twenty. Two over
16:31
Speaker 2: and above are normal tariffs already being, charged and we're
16:36
Speaker 2: also initiating Several section three oh one and other investigations
16:41
Speaker 2: to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other
16:46
Speaker 2: countries and. Companies thank you for your attention to this.
16:51
Speaker 2: Matter AND i, say quite, simply Which i've said for
16:55
Speaker 2: a long, time Make america great. Again and, interestingly we've
17:00
Speaker 2: already made it, great SO i don't have to use.
17:03
Speaker 2: That BUT i don't think we'll ever give up when
17:04
Speaker 2: mag is always going to be with.
17:06
Speaker 3: Us if you have a few, questions you can let us.
17:10
Speaker 1: Heart you can hear The president making it clear he's,
17:14
Speaker 1: frustrated but he also says he's not backing. Down he's
17:17
Speaker 1: going to have these new tariffs that he's going to put,
17:20
Speaker 1: on imposing those ten percent tariffs right. Away the ten
17:24
Speaker 1: percent global tariff is imposed On friday and is not
17:28
Speaker 1: under THE ieppa but Under section one twenty two of
17:32
Speaker 1: The Trade act of nineteen seventy, four, which by the,
17:36
Speaker 1: Way Brett kavanaugh emphasized another vehicle for imposing tariffs in
17:40
Speaker 1: his dissenting. Opinion that's why the presidents had effective immediately
17:44
Speaker 1: all national security Tariffs intersection two thirty two and Existing
17:48
Speaker 1: section three oh, one tariffs remain in, place fully in,

24:34
Speaker 7: section one thousand and, one you're not supposed to do.
24:37
Speaker 7: That and it sure looks like that's exactly What John brennan.
24:41
Speaker 7: Did he told us he wasn't involved at all with
24:43
Speaker 7: the dossier when they put The Intelligence community.
24:45
Speaker 3: Assessment he said.
24:46
Speaker 7: He didn't want it referenced in The Intelligence Community assessment
24:49
Speaker 7: back in twenty sixteen. Seventeen and yet because Of director
24:54
Speaker 7: Of National Intelligence Tulsea gabbert declassifying A House Intelligence committees,
24:59
Speaker 7: report it looks like that is, exactly you, know, wrong
25:04

25:07
Speaker 7: John brennan put in, writing, yes include the dossier in
25:11
Speaker 7: THE uh in The Intelligence Community. Assessment and there was
25:15
Speaker 7: a situation where one individual at THE cia approached Mister
25:21
Speaker 7: brennan and, said, hey this dossier doesn't stand. Up the
25:25
Speaker 7: under the underlying intelligence is just not. There it's it's it's.
25:29
Speaker 7: Garbage it shouldn't be in the. Report and Mister brennan's response, was,
25:33
Speaker 7: yeah but doesn't it seem right doesn't it. SHIT i,

25:43
Speaker 7: I Director gabbard declassified and made available to h to the.
25:47
Speaker 7: Public SO i don't do many of these really over the,
25:50
Speaker 7: years haven't done many referrals BECAUSE i think it's got
25:52
Speaker 7: to be really solid before you do something like. This
25:55
Speaker 7: but this is one WHERE i think the the evidence is.
25:58
Speaker 7: Clear Mister brennan told us under rolls he was not
26:01
Speaker 7: involved with the, dossier it wasn't, used when in fact it.
26:04
Speaker 1: Was now it's very clear from what you just heard
26:07
Speaker 1: there From Congressman Jim jordan that the FORMER cia Director
26:10
Speaker 1: John brennan is an individual who Hated trump and at
26:13
Speaker 1: all costs was willing to do whatever it took to
26:15
Speaker 1: take him. Down and you can look at The Intelligence
26:19
Speaker 1: community assessment that was published in the final days of
26:22
Speaker 1: The obama. Administration it found That russia had quote developed
26:26
Speaker 1: a clear preference their words For trump in the twenty sixteen,
26:31
Speaker 1: election and That Russian President putin had ordered an influenced
26:35
Speaker 1: campaign with the goals of undermining confidence In american democracy
26:40
Speaker 1: or Harming clinton's chance of.
26:42
Speaker 4: Victory this was all well a.
26:45
Speaker 1: Lie that conclusion and a related investigation to whether the
26:49
Speaker 1: twenty Sixteen trump campaign concluded With russia to sway the
26:53
Speaker 1: outcome of the election has long been among The republican
26:56
Speaker 1: president's chief, grievances as it should, Be trump vowed to
27:01
Speaker 1: make sure that there was transparency on the. Issue we
27:05
Speaker 1: also know that the FORMER fbi Director James comy was
27:10
Speaker 1: indicted by The trump administration last year on false statement
27:14
Speaker 1: and obstruction. Charges those cases were later. Dismissed multiple government,
27:19
Speaker 1: reports including, biparison congressional, reviews and a criminal investigation by
27:25
Speaker 1: the Former Special Counsel Robert, mueller have found That russia,
27:29
Speaker 1: interfered they, claim In trump's favor through a hack and
27:33
Speaker 1: leak operation of democratic, emails as well as a covert
27:37
Speaker 1: social media campaign aimed at sowing discord and Swaying american public.
27:42
Speaker 1: Opinion now all of this is now coming to a,
27:47
Speaker 1: head And Donald trump's administration is now freshly scrutinizing the
27:52
Speaker 1: intelligence community's, assessment and in part because a classified version
27:57
Speaker 1: of it's incorporated in its annex a summary of The steele,
28:02
Speaker 1: dossier as well as a complication Of Democratic fund opposition
28:07
Speaker 1: research that was assembled by the, liar you, know the
28:11
Speaker 1: Former british Spy Christopher. Steele that would be The Steele,
28:14
Speaker 1: dossier and was provided to THE. Fbi that research Into
28:19
Speaker 1: trump's potential leagues To russia included uncorroborated rumors and salacious,
28:25
Speaker 1: gossip And trump is long held up that as the
28:29
Speaker 1: weakness in an effort to make it clear that the
28:33
Speaker 1: Entire russia investigation was a hoax from the very. Beginning,
28:37
Speaker 1: now the Investigation florida appears to be part of a
28:40
Speaker 1: broader effort to revisit year's old findings and decisions.
28:47
Speaker 4: From The russia.
28:48
Speaker 1: INVESTIGATION a DECLASSIFIED cia tradecraft review revealed Last july by
28:54
Speaker 1: Current Director John ratcliffe did not refute the conclusion Of
28:59
Speaker 1: russia election, interference but found quote multiple procedural abnormalities in
29:06
Speaker 1: the intelligence community's, assessment and Chided brennan for the fact
29:11
Speaker 1: that the classified version referenced The steel, dossier which they
29:15
Speaker 1: knew was user generated in a. Lie, Finally brennan testified
29:21
Speaker 1: To congress and also wrote in his memoir that he
29:24
Speaker 1: was opposed to including information from the dossier in the intelligence,
29:29
Speaker 1: assessment since neither its substance nor sources had been, validated
29:35
Speaker 1: and he said the dossier did not inform the judgments
29:40
Speaker 1: of the. Assessment he continues to maintain THE fbi pushed
29:45
Speaker 1: for its. Inclusion one thing's for, sure someone's. Lying more
29:51
Speaker 1: than likely a lot of people are. Lying and the
29:53
Speaker 1: big question now is will there be accountability for? This,
29:58
Speaker 1: well that's exactly what this investment negation clearly seems to be,
30:02
