Summary

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Justice Amy Coney Barrett had pointed questions Wednesday about the law Donald Trump invoked to impose global tariffs, joining several other justices on the right and left in voicing skepticism about the president’s ability to use a tool he has deemed critical to carrying out his economic agenda. Solicitor General John Sauer repeatedly argued during the lengthy 2½-hour oral arguments that the emergency law Trump used to enact the tariffs for nearly every U.S. trading partner contained language about regulating imports, which Sauer said included using tariffs. The relevant statute permits the president to "regulate … nullify [and] void … importation," but it does not use the word "tariff." Also Bernie Sanders crashes Schumer's news conference yesterday criticizing Democrats for not supporting Zohran Mamdani in New York and Graham Platner in Maine For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.

Thank you. Thank you. All right. I'm trying to find the one. I think it's, we didn't get to the Supreme Court yet and the whole terror thing yesterday. I believe this, I've got so much audio that I got on. I was in and out listening to it yesterday. I was so busy yesterday and it was driving me crazy. Now, when we talk about the terrorists, we're not talking about whether you're for them or against them, what Trump's purpose was. We're talking about strictly the legal arguments and the constitutional issues here. Yeah. And one of the things that we brought up yesterday, because it was one of the major parts of

1:16.3

discussion, and you and I, it was funny because you and I were talking about it.

1:47.8

I know it's been in my mind, so I might have said it.

1:51.7

But I said, when you look at the IEPA,
