| 0:17.0 | This Tom Hartman here with you on the place where smart people get their news, Tom Hartman program. |
| 0:23.6 | I want to get into Trump and trade. |
| 0:25.7 | And of course, the Supreme Court just handed a big victory to young people, |
| 0:29.4 | children who were brought here to this country from other countries as children, the DACA |
| 0:34.8 | recipients, they call themselves dreamers, which is a beautiful name. The good |
| 0:39.1 | news is the court said, no Trump, you can't do that. the bad news is the court said basically you know |
