Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court just threw a wrench into the broader, global economic plan that President Donald Trump was working to realize. In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump did not have the legal authority to implement his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
However, if different countries and foreign businesses were breathing a sigh of relief, it was very short-lived. That’s because within about an hour, Trump announced that he’s using a different law to implement a new set of tariffs, which, for some countries, are actually higher than the previous tariffs.
Let me break down the details of the case, as well as the grand, master plan behind the tariffs, which most other media missed in their reporting.

| 0:54.1 | Now, to start with, earlier in this week, we did an episode on our program regarding the $10 billion |
| 0:59.9 | lawsuit that President Trump has filed against the Treasury Department and the IRS. However, |
| 1:05.7 | I didn't mention in that episode, that is not the only $10 billion lawsuit that Trump currently |
| 1:10.4 | has in the courts. That's because, besides the one with10 billion lawsuit that Trump currently has in the courts. |

| 1:16.5 | for defamation, asking them also for cool $10 billion in damages. |
| 1:21.9 | Quote, the lawsuit was filed in December after a BBC Panorama episode broadcast in 2024 came under scrutiny for creating |
| 1:29.5 | the impression that Trump had encouraged violence among his supporters on January 6, 2021. |
| 1:35.1 | Basically, what the BBC did in one of their episodes of a program that they called panorama |
| 1:39.9 | was to splice together different parts of President Trump's speech, |
