The Supreme Court considers President Donald Trump’s authority to impose tariffs, a standoff is brewing in New York City between Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and ICE, and the battle to shift the balance of power in Congress through redistricting ratchets up. It’s Thursday, November 6, 2025, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below, and the video version can be seen on The Daily Wire: SCOTUS Hears Trump’s Tariff Case Topline: The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday heard oral arguments in a case challenging Trump’s authority to impose broad tariffs. The ruling will have a significant impact on Trump’s signature trade policy. The case is Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. In total, seven businesses argue that Trump doesn’t have the legal authority to impose his sweeping tariffs and that these tariffs have caused them significant financial harm. The tariffs at issue cover a wide range of imported goods, with many set at around 10%, on nearly every U.S. trading partner. Those were enacted due to the trade deficit and the declining American industrial base, which the administration said constituted an emergency. The other set of tariffs is more targeted. They relate to border protection and the illegal flow of drugs into the United States. China, Canada, and Mexico were hit with varying rates. The arguments: The plaintiffs argued that tariffs are taxes, and the power of the purse belongs to Congress, not the president. They claim the statute Trump cited to enact the tariffs, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), doesn’t explicitly allow the president to impose tariffs, though it does give him other powers when it comes to foreign trade during a declared emergency. It’s typically been used for sanctions. The Trump administration argued that IEEPA does allow the president to impose tariffs, even though it’s never been used for that purpose. They say that the issue at the border constitutes an emergency, thereby allowing the tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico. Similarly, they argue the trade deficit, among other reasons, is an emergency that justifies additional tariffs. The Court: The response from the bench was nuanced, and opinions seemed to cut both ways. “Your interpretation of the statute would allow the president to shut down all trade with every other country in the world, or impose some significant quota on imports from every other country in the world – but would not allow a 1% tariff. And that leaves, in the government’s words, an odd donut hole in the statute,” Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh said. “That doesn’t seem to have a lot of common sense behind it.” In another moment, judges focused on what exactly constitutes an emergency, and if there are limits. Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested that if the Court broadly sides with the Trump administration, it would give future administrations significant power. “Could the president impose a 50% tariff on gas-powered cars and auto parts to deal with the ‘unusual and extraordinary threat’ from abroad of climate change? … I think that has to be the logic of your view,” Gorsuch said. View from the Oval: Trump very much believes in tariffs – he has spoken about tariffs and trade policy for decades and believes that Americans have been taken advantage of for too long. He framed this case as “literally life or death for our country.” In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, he said a victory in court would mean financial and national security for America, but a loss would mean the U.S. being taken advantage of again.  ICE Undaunted By Mamdani Topline: With Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election, how will immigration raids in the city look? Trump border czar Tom Homan told The Daily Wire that nothing will change on the administration’s end and that “operations will continue.” He is undaunted by Mamdani, who has pledged to keep NYC a sanctuary city that refuses to work with ICE. For years, this has looked like illegal immigrant criminals benefitting from NYC’s lax-on-crime laws getting released from local jails only to walk free and end up in the revolving door of justice. ICE has to then go out into the communities, rather than have the jail contact them, to inform them that these criminals are being released. The Growing Redistricting War Topline: Proposition 50 passed by an overwhelming margin in California on Tuesday. It’s just the latest in what’s likely to become a messy nationwide redistricting battle. Challenges moving forward: The biggest issue is that voters gave the state permission to redraw up to five congressional districts to favor Democrats. This was meant to counter the state of Texas’s effort to create a map that gives the GOP the same advantage. But this could trigger redistricting efforts all around the country. Missouri, North Carolina, and other states have already launched redistricting efforts. There’s a possibility that, through the wave of redistricting, California’s efforts are more than canceled out in other states. But while this battle plays out, there will be many court cases and different actions at the state level across the country that could influence the final tally. For example, the California Republican Party just announced a federal-level lawsuit against Prop 50 on Wednesday, calling it unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. And that could also create sweeping implications if it goes up through the federal court system. Other factors influencing 2026 maps: Louisiana is arguing a major Supreme Court case attempting to get rid of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 2, to an extent, removes the race factor from how congressional maps are redrawn. If that happens, it could benefit Republicans in the South and lead to redistricting that favors the GOP in that region. Even with Democratic backlash in other states, by and large, that would be strong news for Republicans.

Born from the experimental crucible of New York’s no-wave scene, Sonic Youth emerged as a band that would fundamentally reshape the landscape of alternative rock through three decades of sonic exploration and innovation. The band was formed in 1981 by founding members Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, and Lee Ranaldo, who remained the core of the group throughout its entire existence. Steve Shelley joined as drummer in 1985, completing what would become the most recognized lineup of the band. Sonic Youth released 15 studio albums between 1983 and 2009, beginning with Confusion Is Sex and concluding with The Eternal.

The CBS News program “Sunday Morning” has been hailed as one of the “crown jewels” of the network—which means it’s larded with liberal bias. Last year, it was a conveyor belt of Democrats. It aired puffball interviews with Pete Buttigieg, Doug Emhoff, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Kamala Harris. So, it was typical when CBS reporter Seth Doane traveled to Italy for this week’s show to get the hot interview with “Hollywood icon” George Clooney. Things got spicy when they discussed what went wrong in 2024. Doane asked Clooney if he still felt good about his New York Times op-ed calling for Biden to step aside. “Yes. We had a chance,” Clooney answered. “I wanted there to be—as I wrote in the op-ed—a primary. Let’s battle-test this quickly and get it up and going. I think the mistake with it being Kamala is that she had to run against her own record. And it’s very hard to do if the point of running is to say, ‘I’m not that person.’ You know, it’s hard to do. And so, she was given a very tough task. I think it was a mistake, quite honestly.” So, Clooney wanted a primary, which obviously did not happen. It could have happened if Democrats had pressured Biden out in 2023, but they denied and delayed until the disastrous debate, and then it was too late for a primary. It left them with the irony of being the Democrats without any actual democracy. Then Doane asked Clooney, “Did you see Hunter Biden’s reaction?” Hunter Biden was naturally furious that his income source was forced out. “I love George Clooney’s movies, but I don’t really give a s— what he thinks about who should be the nominee for the Democratic Party,” he told one podcaster. He also claimed Barack Obama gave Clooney “the blessing” to speak out, and said, “F— him! F— him and f— everybody around him.” Clooney said yes, he saw that, but who needs a family feud? “I could spend a lot of time debunking many of the things he said, because many of the things he said were just outright lies. You know, Obama didn’t put me up to it. It wasn’t my fundraiser.” He’s going to be the bigger man, he told CBS. “But the reality is, I don’t think looking backwards like that is helpful to anyone, particularly to him. I don’t think it’s helpful for the Democratic Party. And so, I’m just going to wish him well on his ongoing recovery, and I hope he does well, and just leave it at that. I have many personal opinions about it, but I don’t find it to be helpful to have a public spat with him.” The pro-Democrat networks never want a “public spat” between Democrats. It killed them to spend a few weeks as the party elites forced the feeble elder Biden out. But there’s a dirty little secret about this interview: None of this political section of the interview was aired nationwide on CBS. You’d have to find it online. They can’t talk about a “public spat” in front of the public. Instead, CBS plugged the “highlights” of the interview at the top of the show as Doane oozed, “It’s hard to beat a tour of Venice with George Clooney. He talks fame, relationships, and aging.” Clooney mused, “I watch what I eat. But, you know, everything in moderation, including moderation.” This kind of partisan editing is exactly what the Democrat enablers inside CBS News want to preserve and protect under Bari Weiss and their new ownership.

Federal regulators are now investigating JPMorgan Chase following allegations that the bank may have shut out customers for political or ideological reasons, an issue that gained national attention after President Donald Trump said his accounts were rejected. In its latest quarterly filing, JPMorgan disclosed that it is “responding to requests from government authorities and other external parties regarding, among other things, the firm’s policies and processes and the provision of services to customers and potential customers.” The statement confirms that officials are reviewing how the bank determines who can access its services. According to the company, the review stems from an executive order Trump issued in August that directed regulators to investigate whether financial institutions had engaged in “politicized or unlawful debanking.” Trump issued the directive after accusing major banks of closing the accounts of politically active people. The former president claimed that soon after leaving office, JPMorgan and Bank of America refused to accept more than $1 million in deposits. “I was loaded up with cash, and they told me, ‘I’m sorry, sir, we can’t have you. You have 20 days to get out.’ I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding. I’ve been with you for 35, 40 years,” Trump said. First Lady Melania Trump has also said her personal bank account was closed shortly after the January 6 events at the Capitol. In January, Trump criticized Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan during the World Economic Forum in Davos. “I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank,” Trump said in a video message. “And I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what…I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong.” Bank of America, in its own recent report, confirmed that it is “responding to demands and requests regarding ‘fair access to banking’” as part of the same inquiry. The bank declined to comment, and JPMorgan did not respond to media questions. Over the last five years, businesses connected to cryptocurrency, gun rights advocacy, religion, or conservative political movements have reported losing access to banking services. These closures were often attributed to so-called “reputation risk” concerns. Banking associations argue that regulatory pressure surrounding politically exposed clients has caused institutions to become overly cautious about whom they accept. Trump’s executive order directs agencies to examine how “reputation risk” policies have been used to justify closing accounts for customers with controversial views. The order noted that those affected have “suffered frozen payrolls, debt and crushing interest, and other significant harms to their livelihoods, reputations, and financial well-being.” If regulators determine that banks discriminated against customers for political reasons, financial institutions could face fines or enforcement measures.

No Enemies to the Right? Wrong!

Our movement is at a crossroads, and the question before us is simple: What does it mean to be a conservative in America today?For years, we have been told what we are against — against the left, against wokeism, against decline. But opposition alone does not define a movement, and it certainly does not define a moral vision.We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.The media, as usual, are eager to supply their own answer. The New York Times recently suggested that Nick Fuentes represents the “future” of conservatism. That’s nonsense — a distortion of both truth and tradition. Fuentes and those like him do not represent American conservatism. They represent its counterfeit.Real conservatism is not rage. It is reverence. It does not treat the past as a museum, but as a teacher. America’s founders asked us to preserve their principles and improve upon their practice. That means understanding what we are conserving — a living covenant, not a relic.Conservatism as stewardshipIn 2025, conservatism means stewardship — of a nation, a culture, and a moral inheritance too precious to abandon. To conserve is not to freeze history. It is to stand guard over what is essential. We are custodians of an experiment in liberty that rests on the belief that rights come not from kings or Congress, but from the Creator.That belief built this country. It will be what saves it. The Constitution is a covenant between generations. Conservatism is the duty to keep that covenant alive — to preserve what works, correct what fails, and pass on both wisdom and freedom to those who come next.Economics, culture, and morality are inseparable. Debt is not only fiscal; it is moral. Spending what belongs to the unborn is theft. Dependence is not compassion; it is weakness parading as virtue. A society that trades responsibility for comfort teaches citizens how to live as slaves.Freedom without virtue is not freedom; it is chaos. A culture that mocks faith cannot defend liberty, and a nation that rejects truth cannot sustain justice. Conservatism must again become the moral compass of a disoriented people, reminding America that liberty survives only when anchored to virtue.Rebuilding what is brokenWe cannot define ourselves by what we oppose. We must build families, communities, and institutions that endure. Government is broken because education is broken, and education is broken because we abandoned the formation of the mind and the soul. The work ahead is competence, not cynicism.Conservatives should embrace innovation and technology while rejecting the chaos of Silicon Valley. Progress must not come at the expense of principle. Technology must strengthen people, not replace them. Artificial intelligence should remain a servant, never a master. The true strength of a nation is not measured by data or bureaucracy, but by the quiet webs of family, faith, and service that hold communities together. When Washington falters — and it will — those neighborhoods must stand.RELATED: Evil never announces itself — it seduces the hearts of the blind Lisa Haney via iStock/Getty ImagesThis is the real work of conservatism: to conserve what is good and true and to reform what has decayed. It is not about slogans; it is about stewardship — the patient labor of building a civilization that remembers what it stands for.A creed for the rising generationWe are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.For the rising generation, conservatism cannot be nostalgia. It must be more than a memory of 9/11 or admiration for a Reagan era they never lived through. Many young Americans did not experience those moments — and they should not have to in order to grasp the lessons they taught and the truths they embodied. The next chapter is not about preserving relics but renewing purpose. It must speak to conviction, not cynicism; to moral clarity, not despair.Young people are searching for meaning in a culture that mocks truth and empties life of purpose. Conservatism should be the moral compass that reminds them freedom is responsibility and that faith, family, and moral courage remain the surest rebellions against hopelessness.To be a conservative in 2025 is to defend the enduring principles of American liberty while stewarding the culture, the economy, and the spirit of a free people. It is to stand for truth when truth is unfashionable and to guard moral order when the world celebrates chaos.We are not merely holding the torch. We are relighting it.
