  • Plenty of people have been caught up in President Trump's emergency declarations.

  • The most high profile are undocumented immigrants.

  • But there's also Victor Owen Schwartz, who imports wine.

  • Georgina Terry, who sells bikes for independent women.

  • Why pay me to fix a flat tire when you can figure it out on your own?

  • David Levi, who makes kicky little musical toys like a banana keyboard.

  • And Dan Pastore, who sells fishing gear.

  • This week, they're all in court suing President Trump because his tariffs hurt their businesses.

  • Trump says he can unilaterally levy tariffs because he has declared an emergency.

  • The court is going to decide whether that's legal.

  • It is possibly the biggest self-inflicted economic blow that the United States has done to itself in my lifetime.

  • And the courts could just make that all go away.

  • So, you know, that's exciting.

  • That's ahead on Today Explained.

  • Support for the show comes from Yonder.

  • There's a certain time and place for you to be checking your phone,

  • and the classroom probably isn't one of them.

  • Shouldn't school classrooms have, at the very least,

  • the level of focus a stand-up comedian would demand of their audience?

  • Yonder says they are committed to fostering phone-free schools.
