We are back with Shout Your Cause with Sally Hendrick, and that's me, Sally Hendrick. And on season eight, right now we're talking about the news because there's so much going on with this administration. Let's get started. So Elon Musk is really not liking the tariffs. It is having a bad effect on his companies. He personally urged Trump to reconsider the broad new tariffs highlighting potential negative impacts on industries reliant on international supply chains. The outcome is that the administration has not made any changes to the tariff plan. So they basically said, no, sorry, screw you, Elon. We're moving forward with this. In other news, the Trump administration is considering drone strikes against Mexican drug cartels. They want to do this as a measure to combat cross-border drug trafficking, and it raises significant legal and diplomatic concerns at the moment. Due to the tariffs, apple is having to make a shift in their strategies by moving some of their iPhone production to India that will help avoid the import taxes, the tariffs that we would have to pay on these iPhones if they were coming directly from China.

The US Supreme Court has overturned Judge James Berg's ruling, allowing Trump to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Health Secretary RFK Jr is challenging fluoride recommendations. He is announcing a plan to direct the CDC to stop recommending the addition of fluoride to public drinking water. This announcement follows Utah's recent move to become the first state to ban public water fluoridation, sparking renewed debate over the health implications of fluoride. In case you don't remember the guy from Maryland who was deported to El Salvador by mistake, and it was admitted that it was a mistake. Well, judge Justice Roberts has temporarily suspended the lower court's ruling requiring Trump to return Kmar Aga Garcia to the United States, to Maryland, and that pause is giving them additional time. Consider the case and its implications back to iPhones. No surprise that there's been a surge in iPhone purchases with people fearing the tariffs, increasing the cost of those phones in the coming months.

Also, the US and Iran set for nuclear program talks Trump emphasized that failure to reach an agreement would place Iran in great danger suggesting potential military action. However, Iran has indicated that the discussions will be indirect and mediated through a third party. Wanted to bring up something that was not necessarily in the news right now, but I did want to mention it. I don't know if you guys remember Peter Navarro. He was one of Trump's advisors who went to jail last year for a time because of things involved with Trump, of course, always. And he wrote a book on tariffs. Well, he admitted that he invented the economics expert that he quoted in the book on tariffs, and Trump even picked him as an advisor because of that book that he wrote on tariffs. So now all this information, this advice, this expert advice is actually just coming from someone who just completely made it up out of thin air. So that's the State of the Union folks, and that's all I'm going to talk about today on the Shout Your Cause podcast. Stay tuned for more news upcoming, very raw and real recordings here.
