0:33T's and C's apply. Welcome to our number two, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton's show.
0:39We appreciate all of you hanging out with us on this Friday.
0:41President Trump scheduled to speak at the White House momentarily.
0:46We are monitoring. We bring in now the governor of Indiana, Mike Braun.
0:50And, Governor, I believe you were in the White House a little bit earlier today
0:54when news came down about the tariffs coming out.
0:58There's been some reporting about the president's reaction.
1:01Were you there when he noticed?
1:03Did you, did the president comment on it at all?
1:06We got a bunch of stuff to get into with you, but we will start
1:08with that one since you were an eyewitness earlier today in the White House at
1:12the governor's association. Yeah, it was a late breakfast at the White House, and the
1:18president had just gone through about close to an hour, maybe 45 minutes of banter
1:25back and forth with us, citing the economic kind of benefits of his policies, the
1:32difference between blue states and red states.
1:35And, of course, the blue governors were in the room and got into the first
1:40part of a Q &A, which could have gone long.
1:42I've been in several of them before.
1:44And I think two questions got asked.
1:46And right about in the middle of the first one, a note was brought to
1:51him. And he said what it was and then did the rest of that question
1:56and one more. And then he said, well, to be honest, I'm kind of seething
1:59over this. Like, I need to go talk to the press.
2:02So no real comment other than he was anxious to get out and start, you
2:09know, replying in whatever fashion he's going to.
2:12Governor, it's Buck. Thanks for being here.
2:14Now that we've seen what the tariffs have done up to this point, and, you
2:20know, so we have evidence, we've run the experiment, as I like to say, what
2:24is your view of the president's tariffs and up to this point?
2:28And, again, I'm not asking you to weigh in on the Supreme Court decision.
2:30I want to know what do you think tariffs were doing for the economy?
2:33Because going forward, I think people are going to have a different perspective on this
2:38as a tool for the economy one way or the other.
2:42Well, it's clear. I never thought my macroeconomics degree would come into play from back
2:46in college, but it really makes sense.
2:49We rebuilt Europe in the trading economy, you know, through the Marshall Plan, and we
2:56were deferential to those economies in many different ways to get them up on their
3:01feet. And along with that, we became, you know, where we did not have reciprocity.
3:09And I think that was generally going to need to be weaned off of, and
3:15Trump, I think, wisely saw that it needed to be done.
3:19And, I mean, we were running a trillion dollar trade deficit and two trillion on
3:24our fiscal account. I mean, that's draining us from being a creditor into a debt
3:30ordination. So, something had to give, and I don't think the dynamic would have changed
3:35unless you were using the leverage of tariffs.
3:38I think once you get them down or they're reciprocal, and a lot of that
3:42has occurred, it'll be interesting to me to see if the deals that have been
3:47made with the countries where they've already done it, whether they'll try to, you know,
3:53claw any of that back.
3:54I'd be surprised maybe if that happens.
3:57What happens going forward in terms of the use of the tool, there are other
4:01ways that you can influence bad trade arrangements.
4:04And I'd hope we'd keep doing it until it's an even playing field.
4:09Governor Mike Braun with us of Indiana right now.
4:12You mentioned blue state versus red state.
4:14One illustration of blue state versus red state that has been publicly reported.
4:19I'm curious what you can tell us about it, is the idea of the Chicago
4:23Bears, NFL football team, leaving the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois and
4:29moving to Indiana. What can you tell us about that?
4:33Do you expect it to happen?
4:34And what does it represent in your mind as the chief executive of the state
4:39of Indiana? Well, for Chicago Bears fans and Illinoisans especially, they need to think about
4:46the fact that the Bears have been trying to work with Pritzker and the mayor
4:52and the state legislature just recently.
4:55But for that to actually move forward to where you get the legislature involved, Pritzker
5:02and the mayor said, we're not interested.
5:04And that started three years ago.
5:06So we started having contact with the Bears maybe five or six months ago because,
5:13to be honest, they were reaching a deadline to where they needed to do something
5:16or else it would run into issues for them to transition out of soldier's field.
5:22So I, you know. We spent 37 years in the real world running a business,
5:27and a good part of it was real estate.
5:30So the process was very familiar.
5:32But when you look at Indiana's context of regulation and taxes, I think they got
5:38a pretty good peek at it, and they like what they see, and we've made
5:42it easy. So when you saw the announcement from them and the fact that our
5:48legislature did the accommodating, that was coordinated to make sure that we were both as
5:54honest brokers moving forward to kind of a threshold point.
5:59Due diligence, a few I's to be dotted and T's to cross, which is typical
6:05in any real estate deal, that's about where we are in blaming on Pritzker and
6:10the mayor because they basically said we're not interested.
6:14So you expect, we're talking to Governor Mike Braun of Indiana, you expect for the
6:19Bears to play in Indiana in the years ahead.
6:23I don't ever want to get ahead of my own skis.
6:25I've been involved in enough real estate deals over the years where something can pop
6:31up. I would say this is the most significant point in a roughly four -
6:39to five -month conversation that has had a lot of due diligence done.
6:44And yes, unless there's something that would be kind of out of left field, I
6:49think a month or two are left to kind of get this thing to where
6:55you'd ink it. But we've made a lot of progress.
6:59Now, your state has been on our radar.
7:02You know, we actually visited the great state of Indiana, not, what was it, Clay,
7:05a couple months ago? I can't keep this.
7:06Yeah, we were in Fort Wayne, great station up there, 100 -year anniversary of that
7:11station. That's right, Wowo. We were in Wowo land up in Fort Wayne.
7:14And it was my third trip, I will have you know, Mr.
7:16Governor, to the city of Fort Wayne.
7:18So I'm like getting my frequent Indiana miles in.
7:23But one thing we talked about when we were there and has gotten some national
7:27media attention is the Indiana redistricting plan versus what you see in some other states
7:36that are blue as opposed to being quite red as your state is.
7:39What is your sense as to why it went down the way that it did?
7:43There are some people who are pretty frustrated with Indiana Republicans in the statehouse.
7:47Well, I think in many places you've still got kind of enclaves of establishment Republicanism
7:56that would have never been America first, probably didn't vote for me or Trump as
8:02outsiders. And I think they felt a little snooty and were going to make a,
8:08you know, die on that hill.
8:10And I think it was out of kind of 80 % of conservative Republicans, conservatives
8:19were for doing the mid -decade redistricting.
8:24I mean, you look at Massachusetts.
8:26They've been gerrymandered, same size state, nine congressional districts for decades.
8:31New England, same way. So there was a lot of unevenness out there.
8:38And these Republicans, about 10 of them in the Senate, there were another 10 that
8:44went with leadership because they probably feared a committee change or a chairmanship not reappointed.
8:51But it was a click of five to 10 that dug in and made Indiana
8:59the exception. Now, how this all pans out, whether we net any seats, when you
9:03look at how our response in California, Virginia, a few other places have been, but
9:10I still think the point of it, why would you stand against it when every
9:17other state has said it makes sense?
9:19And they've gerrymandered so much over the years.
9:23We've been slow -footed. We're talking to the governor of Indiana, Mike Braun.
9:28Is there any possibility that that could happen, or is it dead in your mind,
9:32irrespective of what you're mentioning?
9:34Virginia is potentially going to make an aggressive move.
9:37Maryland may still do it.
9:39Is it dead in Indiana?
9:40Is the timing complete? Or do you think if other states act, it's potentially readdressable?
9:46Yeah, it basically is because the filing deadlines for candidacies, we've got one of the
9:50earliest primaries, and there was a technicality on the margin of the vote, which I
9:57think the president pro tem of the Senate got it, I think, one vote over
10:03the hump where you technically can't bring it back.
10:06So in our case, we could have netted out two seats.
10:10The one near Chicago has been turning redder and redder every round.
10:17But when it gets close, the national dams just pour a bunch of money in
10:20there. And then Marion County, which is basically Indianapolis, has become deep blue, like many,
10:29many big cities. Mr. Governor, before we let you go, I've got to put you
10:34on the hot seat. Can't just let you out with this policy stuff, sir.
10:37Is the win by the Hoosiers in the national championship game, which I saw, the
10:45single greatest college football game of all time?
10:49I think it would be because you've got to remember.
10:52Your sports aficionados there will probably know IU had the worst Division I record of
11:00any football program, and it's been a long one.
11:02And by going undefeated this year and only losing two before, we've only moved up
11:08to the second worst record.
11:10So that context and to think that a guy like Signetti slipped into a school
11:16like ours and the whole NIL portal system made it possible, which I didn't really
11:24like that. I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to it.
11:28All of that had to be aligning, and I think it's right up there with
11:32the Hoosiers movie. I think someday there will be a football film made that will
11:37be kind of the analog of it, and that's got to sink in for maybe
11:41a decade or so. I think 100 % it's going to be a football version
11:45of Hoosiers, and you guys have led the way on that one, too.
11:47It was a heck of a season.
11:48Buck was with me in Miami for the game against the Hurricanes.
11:51We appreciate the time, Governor.
11:53Thanks for coming on. Good luck with getting that Chicago Bears deal officially hammered out.
11:57Well, if that actually hits fruition, maybe we'll do a debrief on it.
12:03100%. You reach out to us when you're ready to officially say, hey, it's a
12:06done deal. Okay, good deal.
12:09Enjoyed it. Thank you, Governor.
12:11Wait, Clay, so would they be the Indiana Bears?
12:14Is that just how it would go, or would it be like the Indianapolis Bears?
12:18How does this work? Well, the Indianapolis Colts, they're not going to give up the
12:22Indianapolis. They would still be the Chicago Bears.
12:25They would just play in Indiana.
12:27Oh, sorry. I forgot about the Colts thing.
12:30Let's just erase that from the record.
12:31But I'm just saying. Well, but I mean, to the people from New York.
12:34They can't be the Chicago Bears playing in Indiana, though, Clay.
12:37Can they? Well, the New York Jets and the New York Giants are both playing
12:41in New Jersey. So some would point out that New Jersey is like our close
12:45cousin. It's like a very, you know, I don't know if Illinois and Indiana are
12:49thought of the same way.
12:50I think it really is an incredible indictment of Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago,
12:54and J .B. Pritzker, the governor of Chicago.
12:57The Bears are an indelible part of the Chicago's landscapes.
13:02Soldier Field is right there on the lake in downtown Chicago.
13:06And so the idea that they can't figure out how to get a new stadium
13:10built is, frankly, just yet more evidence of the fact that people of Chicago have
13:16made awful choices for their leadership and they deserve better.
13:20But unfortunately, this is what they're choosing to represent them, and there are consequences.
13:24And so I think this is a great red state versus blue state example of
13:28being able to get things done versus tripping all over yourself and looking moronic.
13:34All very good points. All right, if you're not yet an owner of gold, let's
13:37change that. Let's make you a gold owner.
13:40More Americans than ever before own gold.
13:42There's a lot of reason to become one, whether it's growth of gold of the
13:46last year, which is up over 65%, or simply the reality that gold is the
13:50only currency that seems to endure and even grow in value when the world is
13:55in turmoil. So buy gold sooner than later, and it's so easy with Birch Gold
13:59Group's help. Now imagine having gold in your IRA or 401k and what that can
14:03do for your future. As you grow your retirement savings, remember that gold has grown
14:07in value more than 700 % over the last 20 years.
14:10The price of gold increases when investors, countries, and central banks purchase gold for stability.
14:15I've relied on Birch Gold Group for my gold purchases and transactions.

15:23Clay Travis, Buck Sexton's show.
15:25Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
15:27President Trump, now speaking, says he is, quote, ashamed of certain members of the Supreme
15:35Court. Deeply disappointing in Trump's words that this decision has been made.
15:43Do we have the ability to take this live right now as the president is
15:46speaking, guys? And simultaneously, and even more amazingly, broken 70, broken 7 ,000 on the
15:55S &P, two numbers that everybody thought upon our landslide election victory could not be
16:02attained. Think of that. Nobody thought it was possible to do it within four years.
16:07And we did it in one year.
16:10They said, you'll never be able.
16:11You'll go back and you read the geniuses, read their statements.
16:17All of the Nobel Prize winners.
16:20In economics, they said, no, you couldn't do it in four years.
16:24Well, we didn't do it in four years.
16:26We did it in one year.
16:27We broke every record in the book and we're continuing to do so.
16:32Tariffs have likewise been used to end five of the eight wars that I settled.
16:37I settled eight wars, whether you like it or not, including India, Pakistan, big ones,
16:42nuclear, could have been nuclear.
16:45The Prime Minister of Pakistan said yesterday at the great meeting that we had, the
16:51peace board, he said yesterday that President Trump could have saved 35 million lives by
16:57getting us to stop fighting.
16:59They were getting ready to do some bad things.
17:02But they've given us great national security, these tariffs have.
17:07And together with our strong borders, reduced fentanyl coming into our country by 30 percent.
17:13When I use them as a penalty against countries illegally sending this poison into our
17:19country to poison our youth, all of those tariffs remain.
17:24They all remain. I don't know if you know that or not.
17:27They all remain. We're still getting them.
17:30And we will after the decision.
17:32I guess there's nobody left to appeal to.
17:35But again, those three people, such respect.
17:38I've had a lot of respect for them anyway, but such great respect.
17:41But other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly
17:46rejected. We have alternatives. Great alternatives.
17:51Could be more money. We'll take in more money.
17:54And we'll be a lot stronger for it.
17:56We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.
17:58We'll continue to do so.
18:00To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, however, However, the court said that I'm
18:05not allowed to charge even one dollar.
18:08I can't charge one dollar.
18:10Can't charge a dollar. I would have used one penny, but we don't make the
18:15pennies anymore. We save money.
18:17Can't charge one dollar to any country under IEPA.
18:21Okay, let's pull back. President Trump, I think, is going to announce a new rationale,
18:29a new legislative authority to be implementing these tariffs.
18:33I think that's where we're headed.
18:34He said he's ashamed of certain members of the Supreme Court.
18:37That would be a shot for sure at Gorsuch and at Amy Coney Barrett, too,
18:43that he appointed, as well as Justice John Roberts.
18:46He said that he was concerned about foreign interest meddling on this decision and believed
18:51that they were not willing to take the criticism that was necessary in order to
18:55vote to uphold these tariffs.
18:57We will talk more about this as we continue throughout the program.
19:00We're monitoring, rolling, and we'll play some of the audio of this live press conference
19:05with President Trump going forward.
19:07Yesterday, we had some fun talking about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth benching 315 pounds.
19:14And I said, you know, I thought I was doing pretty well because I can
19:17bench 225. And a lot of you, many of you, so -called disbelievers, you decided
19:25that you were going to weigh in and say, there's no way, Clay, you can
19:28bench press 225 pounds. And guess what?
19:30I posted a video last night, three reps, 225.
19:33If you want to have some male vitality in your life, if you want energy

20:04As President Trump continues to speak, we will monitor and bring you audio here shortly.
20:09Jeff Hayes, award -winning filmmaker, director of a new documentary called Maha Uncensored, premiering February
20:1524th at MahaMovie .com. A hard look at the business model behind American medicine.
20:22Jeff, we appreciate you. You've also directed the films The Real Anthony Fauci and On
20:28Native Soil. Let's dive in here right off the top.
20:31We have a lot of discussions about drug prescriptions and the medical industry in general.
20:36What does the data tell us about the degree to which Americans are over -prescribed?
20:42In other words, I've had the theory.
20:43I'm curious if you would sign on.
20:45If we just cut half of all prescriptions in this country, would we have any
20:51change in the actual longevity outlook for people and their health in your mind?
20:56In other words, how over -medicated do you think we are?
20:59Yeah, and it starts with the over -medicalization of kids.
21:04But when you look at just SSRIs, just antidepressants, 25 % of the country is
21:13on an SSRI. And we had one psychiatrist who just flat -out said it, not
21:19one human being should be on an SSRI.
21:22They don't work, and they have potent side effects.
21:25And so we could get rid of way more than half of the prescriptions in
21:31this country. What about over -medicating kids?
21:34We talk a lot about gender transition surgeries and the fact that finally people are
21:38recognizing that that doesn't make sense.
21:41But that's actually a tiny pinprick of the amount of drugs that kids are on
21:46these days. It's skyrocketing. in the 21st century.
21:49What does the data tell us?
21:51Yeah, we had one of our experts who was working while he was finishing his
21:58medical degree, was working at a state -run institution, and he had kids as young
22:04as three and four that they were putting on SSRIs.
22:09And then when you add to that, where we're medicating for ADHD, we have no
22:16clue what this is doing to a developing brain, and we're not addressing the real
22:23problems. I know you just did an entire film on it, but let's pretend that,
22:30and I'm sure you have in some ways, you've been able to talk with the
22:33administration. If you had a magic wand, what would the healthiest thing be to do
22:38for America when it comes to drugs and drug prescriptions?
22:43Well, amazingly, the number one thing we can do for our drugs and drug prescriptions
22:48is fix our food supply, because that's where it starts.
22:54And so we ended up doing 16 chapters in this documentary where we cover pharmacy
23:00benefit managers, diabetes, cancer, longevity, functional medicine.
23:06It grew where we had to do a 16, 30 minute chapters.
23:12So this starts on the 24th, but it goes over nine days just because there
23:18was no way it would fit into a one and a half hour film.
23:21One of the, I would say, most transcendent and intriguing aspects of the 2024 election
23:28has been this union of Trump supporters and also then a lot of moms that
23:35may not have traditionally been Trump supporters, but came in through RFK Jr.
23:40and now have become a part of the Trump movement.
23:44What do you see from, and what do you hear from these moms that are
23:48questioning a lot of what is being told to them about the health of their
23:52kids? Yeah, I was in the room that day in, in Phoenix when Bobby canceled
23:59his campaign on August 23rd.
24:02And we're sitting there, he'd wanted some friendly faces in the room.
24:06So I'd flown out. And then after that, they said, Hey, we're all going to
24:10a Trump rally. And 24 hours earlier, I didn't know I was going to be
24:13in Phoenix, much less on the front row of a Trump rally.
24:17And so next thing you know, we're there.
24:19And when, when president Trump introduced Bobby, that stadium went wild and it was just
24:27on and on. And, and, um, president Trump was, was stunned.
24:31Bobby was stunned. And that was where Bobby coined the phrase, make America healthy again,
24:37impromptu. And the Maha movement was born.
24:41Now, these Maha moms right now are kind of ticked after the presidential order that,
24:48uh, that, that president Trump just signed a few days ago, uh, making glyphosate, um,
24:56uh, in the interest of national security.
24:59Um, so it, you know, we, I, we definitely want to hold onto these Maha
25:04moms, um, and, and, and see what the thinking was behind that.
25:09But I knew when all of a sudden I saw those forces join, I'm like,
25:14wow, the market for my material just went up by a factor of a hundred.
25:19When you look at this, uh, this overall story, which is still in its early
25:25days, um, what do you state, what stands out to you?
25:29You mentioned the union of Robert F.
25:30Kennedy Jr. The coining of make America healthy again, this movement that has become, um,
25:36transformative for many people out there.
25:38Do you feel as if we are seeing the pinprick of an impact?
25:43Do you think it's going to grow?
25:44Where do we go from here?
25:46Yeah. You never bet against a fierce mother.
25:49So yeah, that that's how things are changed is, is moms protecting their children.
25:55And I think that now that we have Bobby in as secretary of health and
26:00human services, we have a lot of public support.
26:03Um, if, if we can depoliticize Maha and just all agree, we all want to
26:08have healthy children. I think we can make some changes, but there's some structural things
26:14in the way that medicine is run and food is run in this country that
26:19we're going to have to dismantle and it's going to take some time.
26:22How do people find the movie?
26:24What should they know? How can they see it?
26:27Yeah, we put it up for free.
26:29They can go to mahamovie .com and, and pre -register, uh, and, uh, on Tuesday,
26:35the 24th, uh, they'll see in the, in the first chapter is how did we
26:40get here? And it's a fascinating story.
26:43I can't wait to check it out.
26:45We're going to watch it.
26:46Jeff Hayes. Thank you so much for taking the time today.
26:49Hey, thank you for having me.
26:50That is mahamovie .com. Jeff Hayes, award -winning filmmaker, director of this new documentary.
26:57You can go watch it for free at mahamovie .com.
27:01Uh, and it's going to take aim at over -medicated kids, uh, economics of incurable
27:06disease, alternative, uh, approaches to health that haven't been getting a lot of attention and
27:11suddenly are, uh, president Trump still speaking right now about the two.
27:15tariffs. Let's play cut 25.
27:18President Trump has said that he is going to implement a universal 10 percent tariff.
27:23He's going to now cite new legislative authority to be able to do so.
27:28But here is Trump starting off that presser.
27:31Again, he is speaking right now live in the White House.
27:34Cut 25. The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing.
27:39And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court.
27:43Absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country.
27:47I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and
27:53wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices.
27:59When you read the dissenting opinions, there's no way that anyone can argue against them.
28:05There's no way. Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic.
28:10They're so happy and they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for
28:14long. That I can assure you.
28:16The Democrats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no.
28:20They're an automatic no, just like in Congress.
28:23They're an automatic no. They're against anything that makes America strong, healthy and great again.
28:29They also are a, frankly, disgrace to our nation.
28:33Those justices. Okay. So President Trump in the White House right now discussing the tariff
28:39decision. We will come back.
28:41We'll continue to monitor this, but the news is that he is now, as we
28:45told you, was likely going to be the case.
28:48Cite new legislative authority, different than the legislative authority that was struck down today to
28:54say that he does have the executive power to do this.
28:57800 -282 -2882. You guys can react if you would like.

30:23T's and C's apply. President Trump continuing his press conference, citing, as we said, it
30:29was likely to be the case, the dissent of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
30:35Cut 26. He says there are lots of ways that he can still implement tariffs.
30:41Listen. The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes, and authorities as recognized
30:49by the entire court in this terrible decision and also as recognized by Congress, which
30:55they refer to, that are even stronger than the IEPA tariffs available to me as
31:01President of the United States.
31:03And in actuality, I was very modest in my ask of other countries and businesses
31:08because I wanted to do, and it's very important, I wanted to be very well
31:15behaved because I wanted to do anything.
31:18I didn't want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court because
31:22I understand the court. I understand how they're very easily swayed.
31:28All right. Let's go. He's taking questions.
31:31Can we pull up in real time the questions the president is taking on tariffs?
31:35He has said to us, we'll be treated very well.
31:38We just left the top person in a place called Vietnam.
31:43Just left my office. Great gentleman, strong and smart.
31:47He said, you know, I think this means you're allowed to charge us more tariffs
31:51than before. And Canada said to Jameson, I might want to say it, Jameson, but
31:59Canada said, I hope you win this decision because if you don't win, you'll actually
32:03be allowed to charge us with a little additional work, higher tariffs.
32:07Jameson, you want to comment on that?
32:10Yes, sir. So the president's point, we have a lot of tools out there.
32:14We have section 122, which will be implemented today.
32:17It will be signed today and implemented very shortly.
32:19We have section 301 investigations, which are incredibly legally durable, where we can address, investigate
32:26and address unfair trading practices that have led to our huge trade deficit.
32:31And so you can look forward in the coming days and weeks to seeing all
32:33of that come out. And we're going to keep continuity in the program.
32:37We're going to keep addressing this so that the deficit can keep going down.
32:40That's the trend it has, and we can make America great again.
32:47Several of Republicans in Congress have supported this decision by the Supreme Court, and Hakeem
32:53Jeffries, the Democratic leader, has called your old wannabe king.
32:57Why wouldn't - I call him a low IQ.
32:58But why wouldn't - He doesn't even know.
33:00And I watched him the other day interview, the guy doesn't even know what a
33:03tariff is. But there's been bipartisan criticism - No, not bipartisan.
33:07Excuse me. There's several Republicans have said that.
33:09Yeah, a few people. Why wouldn't you just work with Congress to come up with
33:12a plan - I don't have to.
33:13To push tariffs through. I have the right to do tariffs.
33:15And I've always had the right to do tariffs.
33:17And it's all been approved by Congress.
33:18So there's no reason to do it.
33:20All we're doing is we're going through a little bit more complicated process.
33:24Not complicated very much, but a little more complicated than what we had.
33:28We'll be able to take in tariffs, more tariffs.
33:31And the Congress people - The House just voted down the Canadian tariffs last week.
33:34There's been votes in the Senate against it.
33:35Yeah, because we lost two Republicans or three Republicans because they're not good Republicans.
33:42What you don't say - See, you don't say that we had - That we
33:45got 215 votes - You need 215 for something to pass this time.
33:49Yeah, sure we do. We might have lost three votes.
33:52And we got - And what was the score on the Republican side?
33:55215 to three, right? But you don't say that.
33:57We have great unity. There's great unity in the Republican Party.
34:01And I hope everyone's going to vote Republican because otherwise you won't have a country
34:04left. Because these people have been destroying - They are destroying our country.
34:08Please. Mr. President, the 122 tariffs, that 10%.
34:12Yeah. Is that going to be for 150 days or do you want to charge
34:16that indefinitely? We have a right to do pretty much what we want to do,
34:19but we're going to charge it starting effectively.
34:21I think it's three days from now.
34:23Yeah, please. Mr. President, you speak to a lot of factory workers, a lot of
34:26manufacturing workers. What does the Supreme Court ruling say?
34:30What's that message to those factory workers?
34:32Well, I think the factory workers are happy because we're now telling them that they're
34:36going to - Look, the man I met with yesterday who owned a factory was
34:41out of business. He was out of business.
34:44And now he's employing five times.
34:48In fact, I walked in, he's got a brand new crane.
34:50I said, how old is that crane?
34:51We got it in December.
34:52He's allowed to write it off in one way.
34:55The great, big, beautiful act gave no tax on tips, no tax on social security,
35:00no tax on overtime. He said, this great, big, beautiful bill, frankly, has been the
35:07best thing that's ever happened for the workers, much more so than for rich people.
35:12The only thing it does for rich people, it allows them to hire a lot
35:15more people. But when I saw him and then he said, it's all up and
35:19down the line. This is a place in Georgia, all up and down.
35:24Other factories doing different, not only steel products, different.
35:26He said, every one of us was out of business.
35:29We could barely make it.
35:31I mean, some of them were down to less than an hour a week.
35:34Think of it, one hour a week to make just a few little trinkets or
35:38whatever they make. Now they're going round the clock.
35:41I had it a month ago.
35:43I went to Michigan, went to Ford and I met with Bill Ford, the head
35:48of Ford. And we were in one of the biggest plants, an original plant from
35:52the early 1900s, where, by the way, just I might add this, it's not really
35:58relevant, but it's all relevant.
36:01Murders are down the lowest since 1900, around the time that he had this plant.
36:07That's one hundred and twenty five years.
36:09We have the lowest murder rate.
36:10OK. And our crime is way down in the country.
36:15The factories that we're talking about, the people that we're talking about, they are so
36:19thrilled with Trump. So whether we charge IEPA tariffs or whether we charge tariffs under
36:25a different section, that's what we're going to be doing.
36:27There's no way we can elaborate.
36:29This is what happened to our country.
36:30This is why we owe thirty eight trillion dollars.
36:32OK, let's come back for a sec.
36:34I want to play the Trump is responding to questions.
36:37Here is the most significant news on the tariff front.
36:41And we told you this was likely what was going to happen.
36:44Cut twenty eight. If we could play this, this is Trump announcing effective immediately the
36:50new tariffs and the legislation under which those tariffs are.
36:55He has the authority to implement them.
36:57Cut twenty eight. So we can use other of the statutes, other of the tariff
37:02authorities, which have also been confirmed and are fully allowed.
37:07Therefore, effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing Section 301 tariffs.
37:16They're existing. They're there. Remain in place, fully in place and in full force and
37:22effect. Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10 percent global tariff under
37:27Section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.
37:32And we're also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from
37:39unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.
37:45OK, so President Trump says tariffs are still in effect, as we told you was
37:50likely the case. He is shifting the grounds under which those tariffs are going to
37:55be implemented. He says, for those of you who want to know, that he does
37:59not need congressional authority here because Congress has already given him the authority.
38:03And that is the authority that he is citing.
38:06When we come back, we talked about the story of D trends.
38:10To your extent, what if you want to secure the demand for the future, you
38:10can't do it one step way too long.
38:10It was a powerful Wall Street Journal piece from a girl who had detransition surgery
38:16as a minor. She now regrets it.
38:19I want you to hear her story.
38:21That's next here on Clay and Buck.
