Ted Cruz and the host discuss three main topics in the latest Verdict episode. First, Cruz notes that on Sunday the government of Mexico killed one of the leading cartel leaders, and violence has erupted, with reports of cartel terrorists targeting American tourists. They break down exactly what’s happening and what to expect.
Second, they dive into the US Supreme Court’s six-to-three decision on tariffs, the long-anticipated ruling that struck down President Trump’s use of the IEPA statute to impose tariffs globally. They explain in detail what the decision said, why Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion, and what the dissents argue. They highlight that, spoiler alert, the dissents get the better of the argument, with Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Thomas writing noteworthy dissents. They analyze the implications and discuss what comes next, including how big a deal the ruling is and how much Trump can continue to use tariffs to advance his economic agenda and foreign policy.
Third, they take a moment to celebrate the Olympics, specifically victories in women’s hockey and men’s hockey, noting spectacular performances from teams that love America. The discussion weaves through the significance of these developments and what might come next in each area.
