Trump hit with BAD NEWS after Supreme Court loss
I'm joined now by Congressman Jared. Moskowitz. Congressman, thanks for. joining me. Hey Brian, what's going on? So, we just had a pretty off-the-walls. emergency press conference that was. called by Trump where, instead of. accepting the reality that the Supreme. Court offered, which was that Trump. doesn't have the authority to impose. these tariffs, that Congress does, he. instead decided to double down and say. that he was going to impose another 10%. global tariffs using a separate. authority. So, first question right off. the bat, does he have the authority to. impose this new round of 10% global.
tariffs? Well, obviously every time Donald Trump. comes up with an idea or some authority, it winds up getting litigated. But, in. this instance, he's saying he's going to. use Section 122, which would give him. power to do it for 150 days, which comes. around if he signs it today, July 20th, and then he'd have to go to Congress to. extend it beyond that for his global. 10%. But, obviously this is a big loss. for the president. He seems to be taking. it well, Brian. I don't know if you've. you've seen him Yeah, if there's one. thing I got from that press conference, it was that he's taking it well. He's. really great at handling bad news,
right? He's he's always excelled in. that. That when he gets bad news, he seems to. really handle it well. He doesn't he. doesn't blame anyone or shout out. anything, right? He doesn't call people. names. He really just internalizes it, keeps it inside, doesn't really tell us. how he's feeling. But, it's a big loss. obviously for him, 6-3 at the Supreme. Court. But, in the plain reading of the. text, it was obvious that this taxing. authority, tariff authority, rested with. Congress. That's right, Speaker Johnson.
That's right, Mike. Even though you have. been obviously weakening our Article 1. authority, you know, at the end of the day, you're. actually going to have to do a your job. You're actually Speaker of the House. There's actually a legislative branch, and this is our function. As you can. see, Brian, I'm here live in front of. the Supreme Court. Reporting live, yes. So, one thing that I thought was. particularly funny about all of this was. obviously these tariffs are super. unpopular, and not to mention. unconstitutional, but they're unpopular. And so, the Supreme Court effectively. handed Trump a massive gift. Like like.
just a gift-wrapped. prize to these Republicans who didn't. want to speak out against these tariffs. because they didn't want to they didn't. want to. be on be on the receiving end of Trump's. ire, but at the same time they don't. want to have to go home to their. districts in an election year and have. to explain to people why a trade war is. somehow a good thing even though it's. raising the prices of everything. So, he. gave them the Supreme Court gave these. Republicans a gift that lasted all of 5. minutes before Trump said, "No, no, I'm. going to go out and figure out some. other way to to impose these tariffs.".
And so, what do you presume is the is. the the consensus among your Republican. colleagues who almost had an out here. before Trump decided to double down? More chaos, more uncertainty. Um you. know, that's that's what uh this this. looks like. Obviously, we don't know. anything about refunds. Are these small. businesses going to get any refunds? I. mean, look, it raised the cost of goods. on the American people. Yeah. Right? Toys, food, okay, you know, anything you. would buy.
uh that was not made here. Sneakers, all. sorts of clothing. Um it it raised the prices on the. American people, period. Um so, you. know, even if one was saying, "Well, look, we need inflation to go down." You. know, even as maybe some inflation is. easing, it didn't matter because with. the tariffs coming in place, uh it not only didn't ease inflation, it. made the situation worse. Um. and that's why people feel Americans. feel that things are just so. unaffordable. So, yes, this was an out here, but Donald Trump.
doesn't want an out. He wants to double, triple, quadruple down on this. And so, by the way, why not bring it to. Congress? The Supreme Court says, "Bring. it to Congress.". >> Yeah. Why not? Why not bring it to. Congress? I mean, I know how I'm going. to vote, but let's see how my Republican. colleagues vote. If he thinks and he. said this, there's great unity amongst. the Republicans, well, then bring it to. Congress and let us vote on it. That's. what the Supreme Court is saying to you, Mr. President. They're not saying you. can do it. They're saying it has to go. to Congress and then you can do it, but. you don't want to. recognize that there's a co-equal branch.
because remember they had a massive. They have a massive mandate. Remember we. were told that we have a massive. mandate. Well, if he has a mandate, why. can't he bring it to Congress, Brian? Well, and the reality is like if he. wanted Mike Johnson to bring it up for a. vote, Mike Johnson would do it. Like. Mike Johnson has proven that he is. perfectly content to prostrate himself. for for Donald Trump. And so if he says. bring this in front of in front of the. house, Mike Johnson's not going to stand. in his way. He'd be perfectly content to. do it. Yeah, listen, I hope it happens. It dies on the floor that day. Yeah.
Yeah. Um what last point on the Supreme. Court. What did you make of the fact. that he used so much of his time to rail. against these Supreme Court justices? This is a Supreme Court by the way that. has ruled in deference to him that he. can commit criminal acts with impunity. They ruled that section 3 of the 14th. Amendment doesn't apply to him even. though he incited an insurrection and. gave aid and comfort to those who. incited an insurrection which should. have prevented him from being able to. run for office again. This Supreme Court. has bent over backwards for him for. years only for them in this one narrow. instance.
to not show complete slavish devotion to. the guy and he has a whole press. conference about how they're not. patriotic Americans anymore. What have you done for me lately, Brian? You may have given me immunity, but you. took away my tariff authority. Now, I'm. I'm I'm completely surprised that the. president attacked them personally. So. out of character for him. You know, it's. a it's a first. It's a total first uh. for for the president to go. attack them. I mean, you know, at least. he didn't call any of them piggy.
Yeah, or or or coffee boy, low-level. volunteer, just met them recently. I. mean, this this is like Trump's whole. orbit is is a. a basically like a trail of broken. relationships, broken promises, and and. one-way street loyalty whether it's from. Michael Cohen, Gordon Sondland, George. Papadopoulos, Rex Tillerson, Kayleigh. McEnany, Marjorie Taylor Greene. I mean, the the the parade of people who have. who have lost their lives. >> Rex Tillerson dumb as rocks. He's dumb.
as rocks. >> Dumb as rocks. The the the parade of. people who have lost their livelihood, their law licenses, their dignity, all. in blind deference to Trump only for him. to throw them under the bus the the. moment they lose their their their. usefulness is uh you know, it's ne-. never-ending, I think is what we're. learning. Um but I want to actually. switch gears now, and I and I know that. you uh that you wanted to to um head. away from the Supreme Court now into a. different venue, if I'm not mistaken. Breaking news. I I have Barack Obama on. on my show. You know, let me let me.
throw one out, you know, let me just see. how he reacts. Hey, so what about. aliens? Yeah, they're real. They're just. not at that location. Everyone's like, "Oh my god. WHAT WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?" AND THEN. Donald Trump's like, "Well, he doesn't. he doesn't he doesn't reveal classified. information. I I guess I'll have to. declassify it to help out my friend. Barack Obama." I mean, you brought. Barack Obama and Donald Trump together. on on behalf of the American people so. we can find out about aliens, Brian. What what what have you done? I I.
I don't know. I don't [laughter] know. >> These are my friends. These are my. friends, by the way. There was there was. a there was a moment yesterday where. where prior to prior to the announcement. from Trump saying that he was going to. declassify any information related to. aliens, UFOs, UAPs, where it was just. focused on Barack Obama declassifying. information. And I was actually with um. with my friends at Pod Save America, who. obviously all worked for Barack Obama. And I was like, "Am I going to be. responsible for Barack Obama being the.
next target of Trump's prosecution. attempt because I decided in minute 47. uh minute 44 of a 47-minute interview to. ask a speed round question about. aliens?" But now apparently Trump. couldn't handle the fact that, you know, Barack Obama was getting all the. attention. So he had to glom on and say, "Actually, I'm going to be the hero as. far as aliens are concerned." Look, it's. it's worth asking you here. Do Do any. uh Do you buy this idea that he's going. to declassify any of this stuff? Or is. this just uh you know, some example of.
Ooh, this is a shiny thing that can help. distract from the Epstein files. Yeah, I'm just waiting for the Pope to come. out and condemn your actions. You know, look, I obviously have been involved. with this uh I've been involved with uh. the UAP Task Force uh that we set up uh. in in Congress. I've been a part of a. number of hearings that we did uh in. oversight. Uh And And look, I I do. believe that the American government is. lying to the American people about these.
UAPs. Um And we're not getting the. information that I think they have. I I. do think uh there's a lot more uh that. they're not telling us. I think that. that AARO, you know, which was set up um. has information that they're not sharing. with the with the American people. And. this is why it's so bipartisan. You got. people like me and Tim Burchett and. Luna. You have, you know, Chuck Schumer. involved in this. You had Harry Reid. involved with this before. Marco Rubio, who's the Secretary of State, obviously.
uh. it is involved with this. You know, how. far it goes, how much do we know, that's. unclear to me. You know, um but I do. think the president could declassify a. lot of documents. I think he could clear. up a lot of stuff. Will he do it? I. don't know. Uh. you know, we'll have we'll have to see. You know, it it'll be interesting that. these are the files that come to us. unredacted. >> Right. at the end of the day. This will. be the files that be like, "Yeah, I. can't release the Epstein people, but. you know what? Have aliens. Take that.".
Right. Okay, so I got to ask, is there. evidence as far as the government is. concerned from what you've had insight. into that UFOs and UAPs exist? Yeah, there's there's plenty of video. evidence. There's plenty of documentary. evidence. The real question is, are they. ours? Are they adversaries? Are they. private companies? Is it technology that. was found here that we've. reverse-engineered? These are a lot of. questions I get asked. Okay, I have sat. with, you know, multiple people from the.
military, former pilots, former folks, uh high-ranking individuals in our. military. And I and I will tell you, they have witnessed this stuff. first-hand, Brian. And and these are not the folks. that, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago were in the. Winnebago saying, "I was taken up in the. ship." These are decorated military. people with stellar records. These are. folks from some of the best, you know, universities, some of our best, you. know, military education.
uh institutions. These are reputable. people who said, "I saw it. It defied. gravity. It didn't move in ways that we. can possibly understand." We have. physicists that we've interviewed that. have been involved. So, this has taken. on a totally different uh face. This. movement has taken on a totally. different face than 20 or 30 years ago. when it would be someone who said, you. know, "Aliens touched me and now I now I. live in a van down by the river." Right. So, from the beginning of of your. response there, it sounded like like.
this is that it's really focused more on. like military technology cuz you said. you don't know if if these UAPs are ours. or if they're adversaries, but I'm in an undisclosed location, Brian. Now, because we're talking about. this, I've had to go to an undisclosed. location. >> That's fair. That's fair. But like but. the second part of your answer made it. sound otherworldly. And so and so, you. know, what are we talking about here? Is. there is there some consensus even among. the international community that some of. these UAPs that that folks have seen um.
don't belong to some foreign military? >> Yeah, there's there's evidence that the. Russians, the Chinese, and the Americans. all have crash retrieval programs. Okay? There's documents that go back decades. and decades and decades that those three. countries have crash retrieval programs. And in fact, again, David Grusch, right? He's one of the folks that talked about. these crash retrieval programs. And then. if you if you I got to meet all the. people who are involved with that movie. Disclosure that that just came out. And. I will tell you again, decorated folks.
These are legitimate folks. And and. they've been involved, been in the room. Some of them have can't talk about it. cuz they had to sign. you know, non-disclosure agreements. And in fact, in one of the hearings, one. of the pilots talked to us about how he. had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. So, I don't know how far it goes, right? Some people say they've seen biologics. I don't know that I'm there with that, right? That's like one of those like I. need to see it to believe it sort of. things. But on the UAP thing, there's. definitely more that the United States.
government is telling us. And the way. it's getting paid for, right? Is we if. you look at the Pentagon who hadn't. passed an audit in forever, right? And. how things cost an exorbitant amount of. money in government procurement. What. folks that have looked at this is saying. is that they're overcharging for certain. programs and misappropriating those. funds because Congress isn't funding. this with our knowledge, obviously. But. they're moving money around. Remember. when we when we we killed Osama bin. Laden? We had helicopters that came out. of Area 51. These were stealth.
helicopters that came out of Area 51. This is 11 years ago. or so ago, maybe longer now, to go kill. Osama bin Laden. Nobody knew about these. stealth helicopters. We didn't fund it. It wasn't a weapons program that was. well known. And it came out of Area 51, by the way, cuz that's where our AT. programs come out of. Our advanced tech. programs come out of it. And the other. reason we know about this, Brian, is. because one of the helicopters crashed. And and that's why we know uh that this. that these helicopters. uh existed. So, there's definitely.
government programs that the American. people are unaware of. So, the only. branch then that would have any insight. into any of this would be the executive. branch because clearly as as a member of. Congress if sitting on the committee. that you do sit on, if anybody would. have some information, it presumably it. would be you and your colleagues who sit. on that committee, but but you guys have. no insight into any of this stuff. either. No, they've kept it from us and. when we've asked questions, they've. tried to stop us. When we've tried to. put uh language into bills about. disclosure, there are people from.
government come down and go to the Hipsy. committee, right? And you know, and go. to Armed Services and try to stop that. stuff. So, you know, and that was the. thing that we found most interesting on. the Oversight Committee, which is if. there's nothing there, why are people. from the government trying to stop the. language? Why did Harry Reid have such a. hard time to get language in? Why did. Chuck Schumer have such a hard time to. get language in? Why did Marco Rubio. have such a hard time? If there's. nothing there, if it's all fake, if it. doesn't exist, why are people in the.
government trying to stop it from coming. out? And so, last question here, what. >> Yes, it's your fault, Brian. It's your. fault. Is it. >> [laughter]. >> Is it To what extent is is all of this. my fault? So, la- last question here, what can be done? What are you doing. right now to try and get some uh some. more um exposure onto this stuff? Well, I think you'll see maybe uh this. week uh a bunch of us in Congress do a. press conference on a bipartisan basis. to to try to talk about more disclosure, more information, to take the. president's words uh.
and say, "Okay, now let's turn that into. action. Let's get some of these. documents out of the Pentagon, out of. the Defense Department. Um, let's get. some of these documents out and let's. get it released to the American people.". All right. Well, I am looking forward to. that press conference. Please let me. know if you need me to be there as the. full disclosure. >> able to come out of my undisclosed. location now that we've discussed this. uh in detail, but if I am I will be. there. All right. Well, looking forward. to it Congressman as always appreciate. the time. Thanks Brian.
