Summary

The Supreme Court struck down the way President Trump imposed broad tariffs, so those duties could be invalidated and refunded. His administration shifted to a temporary 15% tariff under a different law, meaning tariffs may continue but in a narrower or time-limited form. An Arizona couple reportedly found gloves possibly tied to a cartel killing, though details remain limited. The Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing, with continued fighting and strained diplomatic efforts. Mark takes your calls!  Mark interviews columnist John Fund. John and Mark discuss what they see as questionable motives in Democratic messaging on the issue about Voter ID laws. They examine claims that voter ID requirements disproportionately impact Black voters, and question whether suggesting minorities are unable to obtain identification is itself offensive or patronizing. John breaks down the statistics often cited in the debate and explains the percentage of Americans - including minority voters - who already possess government-issued ID. John and Mark argue that identification is required for many everyday activities in the United States and around the world, and they question why voting should be treated differently.
