Joining us now is James Blair, White House Deputy Chief of Staff. James, welcome. Hey, Brian, how are you? Great to be back. I know I'm busy. You are. So thanks so much for your time. First off on the jobs numbers. I know the president says his programs are really going to kick in six months from now, a year from now. but 22,000 jobs you wanted 75,000. How do you feel about it? Well, look, I mean, I think what it underscores is we don't necessarily know what's going on with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Obviously, you want strong job numbers, but, you know, there was some hubbub last about months when we wanted to make a change there. So first and foremost, I want to make sure that we're getting accurate data. I think that's what the economy needs. It's what the market needs. It's why we have a new nominee moving through the confirmation process right now. So look, we all want a strong economy. We want jobs numbers, but we also want lower interest rates.

decision on his appeal to make sure that tariffs are, are allowed to constitutionally valid and allowed to stand up.

And the revenue that you've pulled in allows to stay because an appeals court reversed that

decision.

What are the thoughts of the Supreme Court?

When's the earliest you expect them to see it?

My understanding is it would be towards the end of this year, and that's the expedited basis

that it would happen on.

I mean, we wanted as soon as possible.

That's what the president has said, because the president wants stability.

He wants something that we can count on.

Obviously, the administration has a strong view of what the law is and that the tariffs are indeed

valid, but the president does not

want disruption. He'd rather have a clear answer, you know, one way or another as soon as possible,

but of course, recognizing that our strong view is they are valid. Here's what's really important

when we need to talk about what's at stake here. We're collecting hundreds of billions of dollars,
