Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. Senator, it's nice to be with you. If you're watching this on video, I'm in Nash Vegas right now. Not Las Vegas, Nashville. You're in Washington, D.C., and we've got a lot to talk about. It deals with the Supreme Court.
Ted Cruz 0:20
Well, that's right. We're expecting any day now the Supreme Court decision on President Trump's tariffs, his imposition of tariffs. They've been a major element of his foreign policy, a major element of his economic policy. We're going to do a deep dive breakdown of the Supreme Court case, what is likely to happen, what we know about what was argued, and what the outcome is likely to be. We're going to give you that as well.
Ben Ferguson 0:42
Yeah, definitely. Well, if you've got a dog, I got to tell you, rough greens is something you need to know about. I've got a new puppy and I've got a 13 year old dog and both of them are getting rough greens. Now, I've been telling you about my older dog and some of the symptoms that he was having, slowing down and itching and having bad breath, losing interest in playtime. That is just part of the aging process, but it doesn't have to be.

What case is being argued before the Supreme Court regarding Trump's tariffs?

All right, so, Senator, tariffs have been something that the president, like many other presidents, have used. The president used them in a very big way when he got reelected, and he made it clear when he was campaigning he was going to use tariffs for leverage. He was going to get better deals. He thought America was being taken advantage of, and he has been very successful in many of these tariffs.
Ben Ferguson 2:53
But now tariffs have made its way to the Supreme Court. Explain, first of all, just to remind people, tariffs. How did we get to where we are now? Who was challenging it, and what are they actually looking at ruling on?
Ted Cruz 3:06
Well, the case is a case called Trump versus VOS selections. It was argued on November 5th of 2025, and we're expecting a decision relatively soon. It could be this week, it could be in the next month, but it's expected to be soon. And it is a challenge for a number of small businesses who are challenging the imposition of tariffs that Trump has put in place. This is, I believe, going to be a close case. I'm going to break down the arguments. I'm going to give you the legal issues that are at issue, and then I'm going to make a prediction. I'm going to predict what the Supreme Court is going to do. But first of all, let's talk about where we are. So to date, $133 billion had been collected during the Trump administration.
Ted Cruz 3:51
This is through February of 2026. And the tariffs have been imposed using a statute called IEPA, which is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Now, what does IEPA say? IEPA says that if the president declares a national emergency with respect to a foreign threat, the president may, quote, regulate importation or exportation of any property in which a foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person.
