0:00.0 | Because most people, very, very understandably, have been fixated on the tariff situation and the economic uncertainty that the tariff situation has created, well, you had a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that flew completely under the radar. |
0:15.0 | You see, just earlier this week, on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court officially allowed the Trump administration to continue |
0:22.2 | deporting Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act, effectively reversing that restraining |
