00:00Big day in the Supreme Court tomorrow with President Trump's tariff policy facing a legal challenge.

00:04What's at stake with that case?

00:06And if the Supreme Court were against the Trump administration, what is plan B for trade policy?

00:12I'll tell you, the White House is always preparing for plan B.

00:15It would be imprudent of the president's advisors not to prepare for such a situation.

00:20With that said, we are 100% confident in the president and his team's legal arguments

00:26and the merits of the law in this case.

00:28And we remain optimistic that the Supreme Court is going to do the right thing.

00:32The importance of this case cannot be overstated.

00:35The president must have the emergency authority to utilize tariffs.

00:40Look at what President Trump has been able to do with the leverage and the power of tariffs.

00:45He's been able to sign peace deals all over the world and end global conflicts and literally save lives.

00:51He's been able to bring in trillions of dollars of investments into our country.

00:56In fact, this year alone, we are going to cut the deficit by $600 billion,

01:02namely because of the president's effective use of tariffs.

01:07And the president strongly believes that economic security is a matter of national security.

01:12And tariffs have a lot to do with that.

01:14And this case is not just about President Trump.

01:16It's about the use of this emergency authorization for tariffs for future presidents and administrations to come.

01:23And we're confident and hopeful that the Supreme Court will do the right thing.
