Episode Details

Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow and Director of Constitutional Studies at the Manhattan Institute, joins the show to break down the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on the Trump administration’s tariff powers. At the heart of the debate, how far can a president go in using national security or emergency powers to impose tariffs without explicit congressional approval? Shapiro explains the constitutional stakes, the possible outcomes, and what this case could mean for the balance of power between the executive branch and Congress.
