| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:04.8 | So today, we're going to talk about more GOP senators turning on Trump's tariff tantrum. |
| 0:11.6 | A growing number of Republican senators are openly signing on to a bill called the Trade |
| 0:16.4 | Review Act of 2025. |
| 0:19.0 | The bill severely limits Trump's ability to impose tariffs without congressional |
| 0:23.4 | approval. Reminder, the Constitution gives the power over tariffs to Congress, not the president. |
| 0:30.8 | Congress delegated the power to the president, but can take it back whenever it wants. |

| 1:29.1 | That has led Senators Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Tom Tillis of North Carolina, |
| 1:37.2 | Todd Young of Indiana, and Susan Collins of Maine to join with senatorial heavy hitters |
| 1:42.7 | like Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell in supporting |
| 1:45.9 | the bill. It's important to note that these are senators who jumped to publicly support the bill |
