What this episode is about

The House of Representatives voted 219 to 211 to block Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada, marking a significant defeat for both Trump and GOP leader Mike Johnson. Despite Trump's threats of repercussions against dissenting Republicans, six members of the party joined Democrats in voting against the tariffs, indicating a noticeable shift in Republican loyalty and opposition to Trump's influence.

Key takeaways

  • When Congress revokes Trump's tariffs, it's not just a vote—it's a power play against MAGA Mike and his agenda.
  • Trump's rhetoric on tariffs as national security misses the mark; real security comes from cooperation, not economic isolation.
  • Six Republicans broke ranks with Trump, proving that loyalty has limits—especially when it means taxing American consumers.
  • While Trump claims victory, CBO data reveals tariffs hit consumers hardest—turning 'America First' into 'Consumers Last.'
  • As Canada mourns, Trump attacks, highlighting a disconcerting lack of empathy—politics should never overshadow human tragedy.

Full transcript with timestamps

19 and the NAS are 211. The joint resolution is passed. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. The cheers erupted on the House floor as Magga Mike Johnson and Donald Trump faced another humiliating defeat. By a vote of 219 to 211, the House of Representatives voted to ban or block Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada to revoke those tariffs. Now, this follows, of course, what took place yesterday when Magamike Johnson tried to bring what's called a rule to the floor, which would have precluded the House of Representatives from voting to block Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada, Mexico, or the rest of the world for an entire year. So, Magga Mike tried to block the debate to prevent Congress from even taking this vote to block Donald Trump's tariffs against the world. Magga Mike was outvoted yesterday by a significant amount as well. 217 against the rule and only 214 in favor

of the rule. And because voting to block Donald Trump's tariffs against the world is something called a privileged resolution, Democrats were able to bring it to the House floor for a vote yesterday. And the Democrats along with six Republicans voted against Donald Trump's Canada tariffs. And this was a massive loss for Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson. Here are the six Republicans who voted against Trump and joined with the Democrats. Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Jeff Herd, Kevin Kylie, and Dan New House. Now, this follows Donald Trump threatening any Republican in the House who would dare vote against him and Maga Mike Johnson would suffer severe consequences. Well, the Republicans defied him in MAGA Mike. The Republicans rebuked him and those six Republicans at least joined with Democrats in the House of Representatives. Folks, the dam has broken and Donald Trump is losing each

and every day. Here's what Trump posted. Any Republican in the House or Senate that votes against the tariffs will seriously suffer the consequences come election time. And that includes primaries. Our trade deficit has been reduced by 78%. The Dow Jones has just hit 50,000 and the S&P 7,000. All numbers that were considered impossible just one year ago. Really, our deficit has decreased 78%. You're just making up numbers. Donald Trump goes on to say, "In addition, tariffs have given us great national security because the mere mention of the word has countries agreeing to our strongest wishes.

Tariffs have given us economic and national security and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege." President Donald J. Trump, the privilege is in article one of the constitution. The power belongs to Congress. Congress has the power over taxes and tariffs are a form of tax. So if indeed that privilege as you call it or what seems to be a curse is wanted because 95% of it's passed on to consumers which is why inflation is surging and actually why we had a jobs recession last year. Congress can pass a law but Congress doesn't want this. They just rebuked you. Donald Trump also posted the following message as well.

Right. As these uh tariffs against the world by Trump were rebuked by Congress, Trump posts, "Canada has taken advantage of the United States on trade for many years. They are among the worst in the world to deal with, especially as it relates to our northern border. Tariffs make a win for us easy. Easy Republicans must keep it that way." President Donald J. Trump. Now, we know that Donald Trump always attacks Canada, defames Canada, calls it the 51st state, attacks its sovereignty. But what makes this specifically disgusting is that for anybody following world events in British Columbia, Canada just suffered a major school shooting at a school in British Columbia where nine innocent people lost their lives. Shooter took his own life as well. 25 people seriously uh injured. Mo mostly all the countries across the world called Canada to show remorse standing with Canada.

You know, when I heard from Prime Minister Carney earlier in the day, he mentioned all the countries that called him. He didn't mention the United States. Instead, Donald Trump, rather than showing sympathy and remorse for what's going on in Canada right now, Donald Trump post this attack. At the same time, Congress voted to revoke, remove, rebuke, you pick the rword, you pick whatever you want to call it, but stop the tariffs. Congress member Don Bacon, Republican, writes the following. Congress has article one constitutional responsibility on tariffs. We cannot and should not outsource our responsibilities. As an old-fashioned conservative, I know tariffs are a tax on the American consumers. I know some disagree, but this debate and vote should occur in the House. We also heard from Gary Shapiro, who was reposted by Don Bacon. These tariffs aren't strategic. They make products less affordable, squeeze manufacturers, and

slow startups. Thanks to House Dems and Kevin Kylie, Don Bacon, and Massie for rejecting yesterday's procedural motion and preserving congressional authority on trade. And as Brendan Duke explains and is reposted by Don Bacon, wow. The Congressional Budget Office just came out with its latest estimates and it estimates that US consumers bear 95% of the Trump tariffs. Basically, foreign firms bear 5% of them. US companies bear 30% of them, but other US companies get to raise prices on consumers from less competition. So that nets to zero and consumers pay the rest. And Don Bacon reposts Scott Lindome saying, "Shocked, shocked, I tell you, that the CBO would find basically the same thing regarding tariff incidents that the St. Louis Fed, the Keel Institute, Tax Foundation, Harvard Business School, and others have found." Shocked, shocked, I tell you.

State regime media, which calls itself Fox, is saying tariff turmoil. The House passed legislation aimed at reversing Trump's tariffs on Canada with several Republicans joining Democrats for a rare rebuke of Donald Trump. By the way, just take a look right here at some of these statistics. We did this analysis using the Yale Budget Lab and CBO and Joint Committee on Taxation data. The Trump Republican cost of living in Maga Mike's district increased about $2,000 average for 298,000 working and middle class families in Louisiana's fourth congress congressional district. The same analysis for Steve Scaliz's district raised costs about $2,000 as well. Same thing for MAGA Republican Tom Emmer's district. This time of year when it's cold and dark by dinner time, all I want is something warm, comforting, and easy.

The last thing I want to do after a long day is overthink dinner. That's why I've been loving Home Chef. It shows up at my door with fresh pre-portioned ingredients, easy recipes to follow, and meals that actually taste great. I've tried everything from their classic meal kits to the express options, and honestly, the oven ready trays have been a lifesaver on busy nights. Everything is laid out step by step, super simple, and the meals feel restaurant quality without the stress. They've worked with chefs like Gordon Ramsay to bring incredible recipes straight to your kitchen. And you'll find these chef inspired recipes across Home Chef's culinary collection, classic meal kits, and express options, and people really love it. Home Chef is rated number one by users of other meal kits for quality, convenience, value, taste, and recipe ease. There are over 30 meal options each week, including 30-inute meals,

microwave lunches, and even a dedicated family menu for four or six serving dinners. Plus, Home Chef customers save an average of $86 per month on groceries.

Now, Maggamike was asked what he thought about this House resolution rescending Trump's Canada tariffs, which is a massive rebuke of him and Donald Trump. And Maga Mike's like, he's not upset. He'll just veto it. He'll just veto it. He'll just veto it. Okay. Well, if there is a super majority, he can veto it. But in any

event, even if he vetos it, we now have all of the Republicans in the House and soon to be in the Senate on record about where they stand on causing these massive tax increases on the American people who are suffering. Magga Mike, because these are being paid by the American consumer, watch what Magga Mike has to say. Play this clip. either they won't pass the House version of the bill corresponding as my expectations presidency will be if Republicans buck him on tariffs right now.

He's not upset I just left the White House. He understands what's going on. It's not going to affect or change his policy. He can veto these things if they come to us. The president's trade policies are working. Look at the economic data. Look at the stock market above 50,000. Look at the the reduction in the trade deficit by 78%. The number just came out. There's no reason to reverse course right now.

We'll see. Thank you. Also, Magga Mike was again asked today by Manu Raju, who does a great job on Capitol Hill. Hat tipped him. Hat tip to our DC bureau as well, led by Pablo Monriquez, who does a great job. But here, Manu Raja was asking Magga Mike about Donald Trump's DOJ going after those six Democratic lawmakers, the two senators and the former members of the House of Representatives for making a video saying that our troops should not follow unlawful orders, which is just a restatement of the law. Magga Mike, who's supposed to still protect Article One and things like speech or debate and the First Amendment, he doesn't because he's a Trump lackey. He's a sickophant.

Watch what Magamike says as he kind of like walks away from Manu Raju. Play this clip.

The administration failed and to secure this indictment against those six Democrats. You have been long against weaponizing the Justice Department. How can you how can you say this is not being weaponized when they're going after Democrats and they're not able to even secure an indictment?

I am very much and very consistently opposed to the Department of Justice being weaponized in any way. over the four years of the Biden Harris administration, they were engaging in an open lawfare and we um we we made a lot of noise about that. And

isn't that precisely what's happening right now? Let me tell you what is different here. Um first of all, I haven't seen uh any of the documentation on the indictment that was being sought in this. And I am a a lifelong advocate and a jealous advocate of the first amendment and free speech. I used to litigate those cases for 20 years. So um but I would tell you that a line is crossed and it's very serious when you have leaders here in the Senate in the House effectively telling members of the military to defy orders and that is exactly the words that they use and some of these are highly respected former military officers and you know one of them is a is a senator who uh you know had a long and storied career. So it has an effect on young service members. It's a very dangerous gambit that they were playing.

Should they be sent to jail? probably not, but we need to call it out as being wildly inappropriate and and they needed to.

Thought this was interesting data as well. So, in fiscal year 2013, for example, as Aaron Blake points out, federal grand juries rejected indictments just five times out of 165,000 cases. Grand juries have now rejected Trump administration indictments for one of the three Comey charges. sandwich guy, several other protesters, Leticia James, Leticia James again, now six congressional Democrats, and by the way, we've seen dozens and dozens and dozens of cases be rejected by grand juries under the Trump reime. Also, we seem to be heading towards a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Senator Thun, who's the Senate leader, um, and MAGA Mike Johnson are basically saying, "We're not going to be able to make a deal with Democrats.

We'll see what happens because the MAGA Republicans refuse to uh, have the masks removed from ICE agents, refuse to have ICE agents prevented from going to the polls, pretty despicable basic stuff. Provide judicial warrants. Oh my god. The Fourth Amendment, unreasonable search and seizures. Wow. Wowee. Let's play over here. Um, uh, you have, uh, Enton over on CNN. Just shows you how unpopular these tariffs are against Canada. And, you know, and why the America, the American people, the American people stand with Canada. It's Donald Trump's ridiculous hatred of Canada, his venom. Here, play this clip there. Canadians grade of Trump's first term. Look at this.

First year of his second term. 66% 66% give him a giant big F. F is in failure compared to just 6% who give him an A. And keep in mind that this 66% includes a plurality of members of every single party in Canada. It doesn't matter if you're on the left or the right. You do not like Donald Trump. if you are a Canadian.

So if he did make Canada the 51st state and ran for a third term, it seems unlikely he would get Canada's electoral votes.

Uh it would seem extremely unlikely that he would get Canadians electoral votes. And I will note that they really don't want to become the 51st state polling officers.

How about the other direction? US views of Canada. Okay, so if Canadians really don't like Donald Trump, how do Americans feel about Canada? Well, they actually like Canada. Look at this. The net popularity rating of Canada among Americans, among all adults, it's plus 46. Democrats plus 64, independents plus 46, and even among Republicans, it's plus 30. Canada was the most popular country tested by this latest poll from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. And I will note, of course, that this plus 46 is significantly higher than Donald Trump's own net popularity rating here in America. So, Canada more popular than Donald Trump in Donald Trump's own country.

Well, that's something. All right. How has tourism been affected by all of this?

Yeah. Okay. So, you know, it had the tariffs, you know, then of course there whole bridge situation, but here's the thing, which is there are real tourist dollars at stake. And take a look here. Tourism in 2025 versus 2024. Canadians to America. Look at that. Down way down 25%. Americans to Canada just down about 2%. Basically steady. Canadians really taking their anger out by not coming to the country of the United States of America, not spending their tourist dollars. Well, Americans are basically going to Canada in the same numbers.

And this of course matters because my sources tell me that Canadians represent the biggest number of visitors to the United States of any country on all the planet Earth. All right. You mentioned tariffs. There is a big Supreme Court decision we are waiting on and have been waiting on on whether many of the president's tariffs are legal. What are the prediction markets saying about that? Yeah. Okay. So all this may be for not because just take a look here the chance Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs 70% according to the couch prediction market. 70% chance. So all of this political angst all of this money lost to tourism and it may all be for not because chances are at least according to those who are putting their money where their mouth is that the Supreme Court is going to rule against Trump's tariffs

someday. Eventually eventually we don't know when it's going to be. All right Harri and thank you.
