Robby Soave and Jason Russell celebrate the SCOTUS tariff news before pivoting to the politics of the Winter Olympics.
Robby Soave and Jason Russell unpack the Supreme Court's blockbuster tariff ruling—what it means for executive power, trade policy, and the 2026 midterms—before shifting gears into a lively detour through their glory days as high school athletes in Michigan.

If it's true that consumers have been paying the tariffs as Reason claims, COSTCO is get a big fat paycheck. Will consumers get a tariff rebate? Hahahahaha.
Tariffs are already back given roberts ruling. Pretty funny. He just switched to other laws that allow it and use the word tariff as roberts demands.
Who is the most libertarian Democratic president?
Grover "Your reduction of tariffs to 42% doesn't go too far enough!" Cleveland on lines 1 and 3.
That said, would someone please go spit in Nick Gillespie's coffee and tell him that the rest of Cleveland's platform (and maybe even his policy on tariffs) aligns more with Trump than it does with any Democrat since.
*cough* Scott Act *cough* Geary Act *cough* birthright citizenship my ass *cough*
They wont even learn after they propped up Spanberger.
""Tariffs are dead, and they were never emergencies.""
Who gets to decide what an emergency is?

Wow. Just like that Bad Bunny disappeared.
It’s almost as if he wasn’t the greatest entertainment sensation of the century like we were told..
He's not even the greatest entertainment sensation within the time span of the lackluster Super Bowl he was on at half time for. He out-performed the average but didn't outperform the peak and, depending on how exactly you math people who just left the Superbowl on for halftime vs. people who turned on the Superbowl just to watch him, there's a serious assertion that he didn't outperform Kid Rock.
"Hollywood accounting" has been declaring shit an unprecedented hit with international appeal and quietly writing off losses if anybody checks the balance sheet after the fact for decades.
