Episode description

White House is calling on the Supreme Court to intervene after a federal trade court struck down many of President Donald Trump's tariffs because the president exceeded his legal authority when he put them in place. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt say, "America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges"; State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce is asked about Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement that the U.S. will start “aggressively” revoking the visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields; Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC reopens a week after the two Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed by a suspect who says he did it in support of Palestinians. The ceremony includes Jewish, Muslim & Christian clergy mourning the victims and condemning the attack; from the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, an SEC Commissioner on the role of the government in regulating cryptocurrency, and a son of President Trump on why the Trump family is investing in crypto.
