Summary
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the consolidated cases of Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., both of which challenged some of the president’s authority to unilaterally issue foreign duties. Trump has justified his broad “reciprocal tariffs” on U.S trading partners by declaring a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which prompted the legal challenges. The court’s decision could set the precedent for presidential authority over trade and the use of emergency powers.

| 0:00.0 | From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle. |
| 0:08.4 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of mind take. |
| 0:27.8 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the oral arguments before the Supreme Court yesterday on President Donald Trump's tariffs. |
| 0:39.3 | Pretty interesting stuff. |
| 0:40.6 | Went about, as I expected, but we're going to share exactly what happened with some views from the left and the right. |
| 0:46.5 | And then, of course, my take. |
| 0:48.3 | It is Thursday, November 6th. |
| 0:51.4 | Before you jump in a day, I do want to give you a quick heads up on a couple |
| 0:54.2 | things. First of all, about a year ago, many of you know, we had the This American Life feature |
| 1:00.3 | on our work. A lot of those subscriptions are re-upping right now. If you're one of those people, |
| 1:04.9 | please stick with us. The result of all these subscriptions re-upping at the same time this year is that a lot of people who are hitting their one-year renewal cancel. |
| 1:16.4 | You know, the same percent is like 10 percent or something always canceled. |
| 1:20.1 | But because we got so many subscriptions last November, it's actually a lot of people who are canceling. |
| 1:28.2 | So we could really use some support right now. |
| 1:32.7 | If you or somebody who's been listening to this podcast, we're reading our newsletter, and you've not yet subscribed, now would be a really good time to do that. |
| 1:41.6 | It would be super helpful to just go to our website, readtangle.com, forward |
| 1:47.0 | slash membership or just access your account there. You can get a subscription. If you get the |
| 1:51.8 | podcast-only subscription, you can get ad-free podcasts and all our members-only podcast content. |
| 1:58.5 | And if you get the bundle, you can get the newsletter and access to the |
| 2:01.3 | website and all that stuff together. And it's super affordable. $99 for the bundle. $59 for the podcast |
| 2:09.8 | or newsletter subscription. It's like a dollar a week we're talking about. So skip one coffee and you're |
| 2:16.4 | basically there for the month. |
