Speaker 1 (00:05):
Your new day starts with the Brian Mud Show, the
news you need to start your morning in the fomb
Beaches and the Treasure Coast. As we're at tracking Trump
taking a look at all of the president's executive activity.
The man's been busy. The man's been prolific second term.
So far, Trump has already signed two hundred and twelve
executive orders. That compares to two twenty he signed during
(00:27):
his entire first term and Slow Joe, but also with
team Auto Pin they did one sixty two during his
whole term. Trump's already what fifty beyond that. Additionally, President
Trump has signed ninety nine presidential proclamations, fifty seven presidential memoranda,
nine laws over the past week. Of course, partial government
(00:48):
shutdown continues to be a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
At thirty six days, the US is now in the
midst of the longest government shutdown in history. Republicans have
tried over a times to pass a stopgap measure to
reopen the government until November twenty first, but now Majority
Leader John Thune says a new date is needed.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
We've lost five weeks, so the November twenty one deadline
no longer makes a lot of sense. So clearly it
would have to be extended, and there is a conversation
around what that next deadline would be.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Discussions are underway on a deal to reopen the government
and come to an agreement on the Affordable Care Act
tax credits, which have been a sticking point for Democrats.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Right, So that is happening somehow or another. You have
managed to survive to the thirty sixth day, the record
of the partial government shut down without thirty four percent
of the federal government operating. So congratulations for doing that.
But obviously hasn't slowed President Trump down. He's remained active
and effective over the past week, having negotiated a new
(01:54):
trade deal with China, halting the flow of fentanyl into
the United States, ending China's export controls on rare earth minerals,
ending Chinese retaliation against US technology companies, and also ending
China's ban on US soy being purchases and other agricultural products.
In addition, the US dropped the tariff rate from fifty
(02:19):
seven percent to forty seven percent on Chinese goods. Additionally,
President Trump secured an additional fifty billion plus dollars in
South Korean purchases from US manufactures all these things very big,
and of course that takes us to something else that
is taking place today, and that pertains to tariffs the.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Nation's high courts. Here's oral argument, so for lawsuits from
a coalition of small businesses and Democratic led states who
contend that President Trump have used his authority by declaring
a national emergency to imposed tariffs. At issue is whether
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act here's the president that power.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
We are one hundred percent confident in the President and
his team's legal argument in the merits of the law
in this case, and we remain optimistic that the Supreme
Court is going to do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yep. So that is going to be a big thing,
and our White House correspondent John Decker will be in
the court room at the Supreme Court today for that hearing.
The President speaking of executive orders tariffs related to the
China trade deals I was talking about over the past week.
In fact, just yesterday signed two related executive orders modifying
(03:35):
reciprocal tariff rates consistent with the economic and trade arrangement
between the United States and the People's Republic of China.
That's the one that took rates from fifty seven to
forty seven percent and then modifiing duties addressing these synthetic
opioid supply chain of the People's Republic of China. Again,
another adjustment is part of that trade deal, lessening the
(03:55):
overall tariff impact of Chinese imported go So we will
stand by and see. It'll be very interesting to hear
these arguments today. I'm gonna have a lot to say
about it tomorrow for sure,
