Transcript of Trump Kicks Out Press After Shock Tariff Ruling!! New

Wow!

[No speech detected] Donald Trump is having a meltdown after the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs against the world also a horrible

GDP readout for the fourth quarter and inflation is coming in hotter than expected. Donald Trump was holding a presser earlier this morning with governors who were at the White House. Donald Trump then sent the press out. He kicked the press out during this press conference and said, you know, bye bye, time to get out. As he continued to have this meltdown, let me show you what took place moments ago. Let's play this clip. Well, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. And I guess we're going to be asking the press to leave. That way we're going to talk very

candidly and take questions, I think, at the end.

It wasn't supposed to be. I just said, just, what about questions? Sir, you can do whatever you want.

I don't know if she says that

to other people that she's represented over the years, but thank you very much for being here. It's a great honor. And the media, thank you. You can leave now. President Trump at breakfast with the governors, you heard him there saying that he's going to deliver some remarks and then take questions. From the room, not from the media, and then asking the media to leave. So, the... Now we know from people who were inside the room, Donald Trump then started cursing. After kicking the press out, he said, these fucking courts, you know, I don't like to curse.

I'm just giving you the receipts of what actually happened. These effing courts, these effing courts is what he said over and over again. CNN got the scoop there of what went down. Let's just play this clip of What happened inside this governor's meeting in the white house after Donald Trump learned that the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs against the world. He was melting down. Apparently he was sweating, his face was red, and he just started like cursing, almost like he was going to cry. I heard it was incredibly weird. CNN has the scoop as well. Let's play this clip about this. Yeah, Pamela, we still have no official reaction from the white house or President Trump. We are waiting. I am told that they are meeting, discussing how they are going to respond. But we have learned more about what happened in the room when President President Trump was with those governors, and he learned of the Supreme Court decision. Apparently, the breakfast had been going well. They were working together, and then President Trump became enraged. He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace but started attacking the courts at one point, saying these effing courts, but using the actual language there.

We know that President Trump does use expletives quite often when he is enraged in particular.

Now, this, of course, comes as this tariff policy, this could not be a bigger decision for President Trump. This could not be a bigger loss for President Trump. Not only is so much of his economic agenda based on these tariffs, so much of his foreign policy is based on these tariffs. He has used these tariffs as leverage in almost every meeting that he has had around the world. He has touted them as the most important part of the economic agenda. So clearly a huge loss, and he recognizes that today. Pamela. All right, Kristen Holmes. Now, earlier this morning, Donald Trump released the GDP data before it was officially released. It's, again, unlawful to leak that out. But Donald Trump posted this before the Supreme Court made the ruling, striking down his tariffs against the world. Trump posted the Democrat shutdown cost the USA at least two points in GDP. That's why they are doing it in many form again, no shutdowns. Also lower interest rates too late. Powell is worst the president. D J T again ranting and raving like a lunatic this morning. And the Supreme Court said, you don't have the power under this 1977 law, IIPA, to impose tariffs against the world.

That belongs to Congress. Article 1, Section 8, the power of taxation. It's the power of Congress. And they did not in this statute called IIPA, which talks about emergency powers to regulate imports and exports. It doesn't even mention the word tariffs in IIPA. They didn't give you this power to tariff the world by you declaring unilaterally that there's a drug war emergency against Canada and Mexico, or that trade deficits, by the way, which are increasing right now since Donald Trump imposed tariffs against the world, not decreasing, they're increasing, but saying that that constitutes an emergency. And then you're gonna say you can tariff the world. The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision said absolutely no way.

Fourth quarter GDP below expectations came in at 1.4% versus the 3% expected. And Trump regime officials were telling us that it may even come in as high as 5%. But it came in at 1.4% very very disappointing indeed also inflation as measured by PCE which is really a consumer index consumer goods and how inflation's affecting consumers came in hotter than expected 2.9% versus 2.8% and core PCE came in at three percent versus 2.9% which was the expected so now after this Supreme Court ruling, Trump and his regime have to now pay back close to 200 billion, somewhere between 175 billion and $200 billion in tariffs that they took from companies in the United States. It was never paid by countries abroad. It was always incurred. It's a tax on Americans and companies here passed on to the consumers. The consumers likely won't see any relief from the prices going up on their goods, but the companies that had to increase the prices, they're now going to go to commerce and treasury and say, give us our money back. And now it's going to be total chaos in the Trump regime as they've got to pay back the money they unlawfully stole.

Who would have thought that a felon like Donald Trump, a sexual abuser like Donald Trump, a fraud like Donald Trump would go and steal money unlawfully? Huh? Who could have predicted that one right there? Monica Crowley, a former Fox host who Donald Trump made an ambassador of protocol, kind of like a spokesperson at the white house. She issued the following statement. President Trump has plenty of tools in the tariff toolbox. Don't be a panicking trust Trump. What a weird criminal cult these people are who continue to cover up the Epstein files. And don't think for a second that on the might as touch network, we're going to forget the fact that the Epstein class cabal resides in the white house and they're currently covering up a child sex trafficking ring by also not producing 50 terabytes or so of documents, millions of documents that they're still not disclosing them. That's one of the reasons why we're also leading the boycott against the Trump state of the union, the people state of the union will be right here on the Midas touch network. We have dozens of members of Congress and senators who will be speaking and not showing up to the state of the union, but they'll be here with the Midas Touch Network.

So what were other Trump regime officials?

You had Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's national economic advisor, blaming Democrats for the 1.4% GDP growth. These guys can take no accountability.

It was the Democrats' fault. It's Biden's fault. It's this, it's that, it's when, when, when. Y'all are in charge. Y'all are in charge. Act like freaking leaders for once. You know what? Maybe just act like grownups, 'cause it will be major progress for you to simply act like adults. You know, frankly, children behave better than all of y'all. Here, play this clip of Hassen. GDP up only 1.4% on an annual basis, fourth quarter. That's not what President Trump wants to see, is it? Well, you know, the Democrat shutdown took about 2% off the number, according to the Council of Economic Advisers.

So if you're really thinking about like

what trajectory is the economy on right now, Way north of three. And if you look at the average of the three quarters since President Trump took office, abstracting from the first quarter when it was mostly Joe Biden's quarter, then we're looking at growth of 3.2% on average over the year. And so I think if you add back in the government shutdown number, which will bounce back in the first quarter, I think you could say that Trump's economy is running pretty close at 3%. Okay.

Then Hasset tries to spin the hotter than expected inflation as saying something something about Joe Biden.

Joe Biden's fault.

Your playlist just don't want to talk about inflation. The PC that picked up a little bit. That's not a great sign is it. Well I mean it's just it's just one month. The consumer price index is headed right back towards the target.

If we look at the details there

are a heck of a lot of things that are growing in the ones now. One of the things that happens, Stu, when you've got runaway inflation like we had in the Biden years, is kind of the price of everything is going up. And what we're seeing now is that there's a whole bunch of variation in what's going up and what's going down. There are a whole bunch of things below the target. And that's exactly what see you as the Fed reaches its target.

At the top of the hour, the Supreme Next State regime media asks Kevin Hassett about, you know, what do you say to the economists You know, you've claimed that the economists who said that most of the tariffs are being passed on to consumers, said you that the economists who prepared that report from the New York Federal Reserve, these professional economists who wrote a study with data and

detail and evidence showing that tariffs are passed on to consumers, which we all know they are, you said they deserve to be disciplined. What do you mean by that? Play this clip.

Good.

I gotta go to this New York Fed study. This is about that. Yes, sir. You know where I'm going here. The study said 86% of the tariff burden falls on American businesses and American consumers. 86% falls on us. You say the economists who came up with the study should be disciplined. What's your issue with the study? Yeah, you know, I probably got a little emotional when I said that. And I regret if the people who

wrote the study feel like I personally attacked them, that was certainly not my intent. The bottom line is that the Federal Reserve itself needs to have a policy where, you know, the extreme gravitas of the Fed should be used to talk about monetary policy and not to go willy-nilly into every single political topic if

they want to preserve their political independence. And by the way, don't we remember all when Howard Lutnick said that the GDP in Q4 would be gangbusters? Remember he said, We own it in quarter four. It's gangbusters. It's ours. We own it. Okay, well, you own it, but now it's the Democrats' fault. Now, now, now it's, anyway, here's the montage that our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski created here, play this clip. Announces in the fourth quarter of 2025, this economy is going to be humming.

Okay.

Look for the second quarter of 2026 to be amazing as all this money. Okay, the Donald Trump economy, we own the economy in the fourth quarter. We start to get, you know, we get shovels in the ground, I would say, The first quarter of next year will be the best quarter of job after job at the factory after factory. They're coming and they're coming now. So I would say one year from today, you're going to see you are going to see job numbers in the

second half of next year that are going to blow you away. And I would say the first quarter of next year will be the best quarter of the golden age of America. It's coming now. You feel it now. What's going on? So the economy The economy that Donald Trump owns starts at the end of this year. You can't think of the employment. You look at next year's employment. It is going to explode all these factories. Then you had Maria Bartiromo who claimed that she didn't even believe the GDP numbers. I'm skeptical that these are the numbers. Trump said it was coming in so hot. He said we've never been hotter before. So if Trump said, we've never been hotter before. How do you telling me that Donald Trump lies? Yes, Maria Bartiromo, we're telling you that

the guy, the sexual predator, the felon, the fraud, the bankrupter of most of his businesses in life, the demented individual who goes on stage and starts rambling and not completing full sentences. Yeah, the guy who's covering up the Epstein files, the guy who says he's been vindicated in there, yeah, that guy, not a good guy, Barti Roma, not a good guy, Barti Roma.

Here, play this clip of her. I'm skeptical too, because you had a close to 5% number just a few months ago, and now you're talking about 1.4%. Markets are on the move, the Dow is down But if you have a slower economy and you have, wouldn't that indicate that the Fed would want to lower interest rates, although the PC being hotter than expected, perhaps the changes the Fed's direction. What does this say to the Fed in terms of rate cuts, Jason?

It's a great question.

And of course, there's going to be new leadership. And I think, again, there's going to be more, not to get too technical

about this, but there may be more of a focus on the balance sheet. Rather than rates. And there's, of course, a connection, but it's not perfect connection. And I think it's well in time that we do that, that I think we should lower rates, but also maybe

tighten up the balance sheet a bit, too. Right, and that's something Scott Bessent has- and then finally we have Neil Katyal, along with his co-counsel, who were responsible for arguing this case in the Supreme Court. Here's their statementless play. Neil Katyal joining us, he argued against the tariffs in this case. Case before the Supreme Court and lead plaintiff Sarah Albrecht. Neil, thank you so much for joining us there. Thank you for joining us. Let me get both of your reactions. Neil, I'll start with you. Yeah. So we, we're, we have a couple of statements. We won't be able to take questions. These are our first remarks. We've just seen the decision, just heard it in the Supreme Court. But today, the United States Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law, stood for Americans everywhere, its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress, the Chief Justice writing for six justices, said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people. And that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes. I am so grateful for the leadership of the Liberty Justice Center and in particular, the brilliant woman standing next to me, Sarah Albrecht, who masterminded this case,

who took this case when so many others were afraid to stand up for the rule of law, who is dauntless in our defense of the Constitution. I'm also grateful to the five small business owners who stood up against these unjust, unconstitutional taxes.

By taking a stand, they have paved the way for for relief to tens of thousands of American businesses and hundreds

of millions of Americans across the country.
