| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. I'm Martha McCallum, along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlob, Jesse Waters, |
| 0:11.6 | and Greg Gutfeld. It is the five. It is New York City, and it is live. Hi, everybody. |
| 0:33.2 | All right, so as you saw today, President Trump is not deterred. He's not happy, but he's not deterred after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping tariffs under the emergency powers law. It was a six to three decision. And it did upend in some ways, something that has been a major |
| 0:40.4 | tool of his economic agenda and a word that he says is his favorite word of all tariffs. |
| 0:46.4 | So no doubt, a bit of a step back, but I'm not sure how much. |
| 0:49.6 | He says he's not giving up. |
| 0:51.1 | He's vowing that alternatives will be put in place, and he wasted no time on this. |
| 0:55.5 | He put in a 10% global tariff under a different Trade Act, the Trade Act of 1974, and those tariffs |
| 1:03.1 | will expire in five months. That's a pretty long time, unless Congress extends them after that. |
| 1:09.0 | And the President had much more to say on this in the brief room. Watch. |
| 1:13.2 | The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing. And I'm ashamed of certain members of |
| 1:23.1 | the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. |
| 1:29.3 | Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. |
| 1:34.3 | They're so happy. |
| 1:36.3 | And they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for long. |
| 1:40.3 | This happens so often with this court. What a shame, having to do with voting in particular, |
| 1:48.4 | when in fact they're just being fools and lap dogs for the rhinos and the radical left Democrats. |
| 1:54.4 | They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. I understand how they are very easily |
| 2:00.4 | swayed. I went to be a good boy. I said to the owner, |
| 2:04.7 | I made a speech at a factory. And I said, how are you? Nice to meet you. How's business? President, |
| 2:11.3 | I'd love to kiss you. This is a very powerful man. I don't want to be kissed by that man. |
| 2:16.4 | But why wouldn't you just work with Congress to come up with a plan? I don't have to. No, the Supreme Court justices who ruled against the policy striking it down. Are they still invited to your state of the union next week? And will you speak with that? They are invited, barely. I think it's an embarrassment to their families. You want to know the truth. |
