The CHARLIE KIRK SHOW basically says America is Stormy Daniels when it comes to Trump's tariffs.

Following a Supreme Court decision on tariffs, Andrew Kolvet, co-host of The Charlie Kirk show, admitted that consumers would get "screwed" because President Donald Trump had no intention of refunding the effective taxes paid due to his illegal policies.

During Friday's edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kolvet argued that consumers paid only 20% of the cost of Trump's tariffs, even though The Wall Street Journal found it was at least 90%.

"But if, let's assume that they were right about that," Kolvet said, "then Americans are basically going to get double tax because of this court decision, which is hilarious."

Co-host Blake Neff read a question from a viewer: "Kathy asked, is the possibility of refunding tariffs to the importers. A lot of them have passed costs onto consumers. Do the consumers get a refund also?"

"The answer is no!" Neff admitted.
