The Supreme Court ruled Trump lacked authority for tariffs, but he immediately announced new ones, forcing Republicans into a difficult position.
Tariffs previously raised prices on consumer goods and worsened inflation, a concern for constituents in an election year.
Congressman Moskowitz, involved in the UAP task force, believes the government is hiding information about UAPs and secret advanced tech programs.

Summary

The episode discusses a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed Congress's authority over tariffs, a 6-3 loss for Donald Trump. Instead of accepting the decision, Trump immediately announced new 10% global tariffs, claiming authority under Section 122, which would last 150 days before requiring Congressional approval. This move eliminated a political 'out' for Republicans who found the tariffs unpopular and economically damaging. The conversation then pivots to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), with Congressman Jared Moskowitz, a member of the UAP task force, asserting that the U.S. government is withholding information. He cites video and documentary evidence, accounts from decorated military personnel, and the existence of crash retrieval programs by multiple nations. Moskowitz also suggests that secret advanced technology programs are funded through misappropriated Pentagon funds, exemplified by the stealth helicopters used in the Osama bin Laden raid. He highlights government efforts to obstruct legislative language aimed at UAP disclosure, reinforcing the belief that significant information is being kept from the public.
This episode highlights critical constitutional tensions between executive and legislative power regarding economic policy, with direct implications for consumer prices and inflation due to tariffs. It also exposes a bipartisan concern within Congress about government transparency and potential secrecy surrounding UAPs and advanced technology programs, raising questions about public trust and accountability for undisclosed spending and operations.

Insights

1Supreme Court Affirms Congressional Tariff Authority

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the authority to impose tariffs rests with Congress, not the President. This decision was a significant legal setback for Donald Trump's previous tariff policies.

The host states, 'the Supreme Court offered, which was that Trump doesn't have the authority to impose these tariffs uh that Congress does.' Congressman Moskowitz confirms it was a 'big loss for the president... 6 to 3 at the Supreme Court.'

2Trump Defies Ruling with New Tariff Announcement

Immediately after the Supreme Court's decision, Trump announced his intention to impose another 10% global tariffs, claiming authority under Section 122 for a 150-day period, after which Congressional approval would be required.

The host notes Trump 'decided to double down and say that he was going to impose another 10% global tariffs using a separate authority.' Congressman Moskowitz specifies, 'he's saying he's going to use section 122, which would give him power to do it for 150 days.'

3Tariffs Exacerbated Inflation and Consumer Costs

The previous tariffs raised prices on a wide range of consumer goods, including toys, food, and clothing, contributing to inflation and making goods unaffordable for Americans.

Congressman Moskowitz states, 'it raised the cost of goods on the American people... Right. Toys, food... sneakers, all sorts of clothing. Um it it raised the prices on the American people, period.' He adds, 'it not only didn't ease inflation it made the situation worse.'

4Government Secrecy on UAPs and Advanced Technology Programs

Congressman Moskowitz, involved with the UAP task force, believes the U.S. government is actively withholding information about UAPs. He cites bipartisan concern and efforts to compel disclosure, which are consistently met with obstruction from government officials.

Moskowitz states, 'I do believe that the American government is lying to the American people about these UAPs.' He later adds, 'there are people from government come down and go to the hipsy committee... and try to stop that stuff.'

5Credible Evidence and Accounts of UAPs Exist

There is substantial video and documentary evidence of UAPs, along with firsthand accounts from decorated military personnel and high-ranking individuals who have witnessed phenomena defying known physics. The primary questions revolve around the origin of these objects (ours, adversaries, private companies, or reverse-engineered technology).

Moskowitz confirms, 'Yeah, there's there's plenty of video evidence. There's plenty of documentary evidence.' He elaborates, 'I have sat with... multiple people from the military, former pilots, former folks, uh, high ranking individuals... they have witnessed this stuff firsthand.'

6Secret Programs Funded Through Misappropriated Pentagon Funds

Undisclosed advanced technology (AT) programs are suspected to be funded by overcharging for other government programs and misappropriating funds, bypassing direct Congressional knowledge and funding. The example of stealth helicopters used in the Osama bin Laden raid, which emerged from Area 51, illustrates this practice.

Moskowitz explains, 'they're overcharging for certain programs and misappropriating those funds because Congress isn't funding this with our knowledge.' He cites the 'stealth helicopters that came out of Area 51' for the Osama bin Laden raid, which 'nobody knew about.'

Lessons

  • Monitor legislative efforts for UAP disclosure, as Congressman Moskowitz indicates a bipartisan press conference is planned to push for more information from the Pentagon and Defense Department.
  • Understand that executive actions on tariffs can have immediate and significant impacts on consumer prices and inflation, even when challenged by other branches of government.
  • Recognize the ongoing tension between executive power and congressional authority, particularly regarding economic policy and government transparency, as demonstrated by Trump's defiance of the Supreme Court and the UAP disclosure efforts.
