Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

And we're looking.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

We're looking with other states.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

We're concerned.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

There are global tariffs that he has imposed based on a statute for which it does not necessarily appear that he's met the requirements.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

There are requirements before you can impose those tariffs.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

There needs to be a balance of payments deficit.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

There's also limits about how high they can be, the tariffs themselves, and how long their duration can last.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

So there are limits set by Congress.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

And right now we have some major red flags that have been raised around whether those requirements are being met here.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

I mean, it should be done quickly and expeditiously.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

Trump unlawfully raised costs for these companies and these costs were passed on to Americans.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

They deserve a refund with interest, period, full stop.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

You should get to them as soon as possible.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

And, you know, he shouldn't fight it in court.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

He was deemed to be wrong by the highest court in the land, a court where he appointed three justices.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

Two of those justices were in the majority opinion against him because they're following the law.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

And because he's done something so clearly unlawful, the authority he cited gave him no right to impose any tariffs.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

That authority never used the word tariffs in its statutory language, and it was never used in nearly its 50-year existence to impose tariffs before.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

So yeah, he did something unlawful.

Bloomberg Talks
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Talks Warner Bros./Paramount

He did something wrong.
