I'M TED SIMONS.

YESTERDAY'S SWEEPING TARIFF ANNOUNCEMENTS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP LED TO A MASSIVE SELL-OFF ON WALL STREET TODAY.

INDEED, MARKETS SAW THEIR "WORST" DAY" SINCE 2022.

SHARES IN MANY CONSUMER BRANDS WERE DOWN, REFLECTING A RELIANCE ON COUNTRIES THAT PRODUCE SHOES AND CLOTHING.

TECH STOCKS ON NASDEQ TOOK HITS, WITH APPLE FALLING ABOUT 9-PERCENT.

AT DAYS' END, NASDEQ WAS DOWN 6-PERCENT OR MORE THAN A-THOUSAND POINTS; THE DOW PLUMMETED 4-PERCENT OR NEARLY 17-HUNDRED POINTS; AND THE S-AND-P FELL CLOSE TO 5-PERCENT OR 274-POINTS.

THE NON-PARTISAN TAX FOUNDATION SAYS THAT THE NEW TARIFFS WILL COST THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD 21-HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR.MOST MAINSTREAM ECONOMISTS AGREE THAT THE U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMIES WILL GO INTO A RECESSION THIS YEAR IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T LOOSEN UP ON HIS NEW TRADE POLICY.

BUT THE ADMINISTRATION IS PUSHING BACK ON THOSE PREDICTIONS.

>> THIS IS A GLOBAL TRADE.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN OUR HOUSE.

THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVING OUR CAR.

THEY HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF US.

TODAY WAS THE DAY OF THE BEGINNING OF SAYING I'M SORRY.

YOU CAN'T LIVE FOR FREE.

YOU HAVE TO PAY THE UNITED STATES WILL GET STRONGER AND OUR ECONOMY WILL GROW MUCH FASTER.

>> HE MIGHT BACK-UP DOWN THE ROAD.

>> HE MIGHT BACK OFF BUT LET THE DEAL MAKER MAKE HIS DEALS WHEN, AND ONLY IF THE COUNTRIES CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES, WHICH I DOUBT THEY WILL.

>> THAT SAID, CANADA TODAY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL MATCH U.S. AUTO TARIFFS IN "THAT" COUNTRY'S CONTINUING TARIFF-FIGHT WITH THE U.S. >> AS I TOLD PRESIDENT TRUMP ON OUR CALL.

CANADA WILL RESPOND TO THE AUTO TARIFFS.

THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA WILL BE REPONDING BY MATCHING THE U.S.

APPROACH.

MATCHING THE U.S.

APPROACH.

BY TARIFFING THOSE NOT COMPLIANT.

>> THE PRIME MINISTER ADDED THIS SOBER ASSESSMENT WITH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE U.S.

THE SYSTEM WE RELIED ON SINCE WORLD WAR II IS OVER.

OUR OLD RELATIONSHIP STEADILY DEEPENING WITH IMMIGRATION IS OVER.

THE 80 YEAR PERIOD WHEN WE FORGED ALLIANCES IN TRUST AND MUTUAL RESPECT AND CHAMPIONED GOODTIONS AND SERVICES IS OVER.

THIS IS A TRAGEDY BUT NEW REALITY.

>> FRANCE SAID THEY WOULD REMOVE U.S. INVESTMENTS.

>> AND, ONE MORE TARIFF NOTE: THIS CNN MAP SHOWS THAT THE TRUMP-TARIFFS ARE TARGETING SOME OF THE WORLD'S POOREST COUNTRIES, WITH A FOCUS ON NATIONS THAT EXPORT MORE TO THE U.S. THAN THEY IMPORT U.S. GOODS.

MADAGASCAR, MOZAMBIQUE AND SYRIA RANK AS AMONG THE POOREST ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD.

AND ANOTHER STRUGGLING COUNTRY, MYANMAR, IS BEING HIT WITH A 44- PERCENT TARIFF EVEN AS IT RECOVERS FROM LAST WEEK'S DEADLY EARTHQUAKE.

>>> A DISPUTE BETWEEN CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND THE STATE OF WISCONSIN HAS MADE ITS WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT.

AT ISSUE: WHETHER RELIGIOUSLY AFFILIATED NONPROFITS THAT DON'T TEACH RELIGION SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THE SAME TAX EXEMPTIONS AS CHURCHES.JOINING US NOW IS ATTORNEY STEPHEN MONTOYA, A PARTNER AT MONTOYA, LUCERO AND PASTOR.

>> THANK YOU.

THIS INVOLVES CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

GIVE ME YOUR VIEW.

>> IT'S AN INTERESTING CASE.

I THINK, I LISTENED TO THE ORAL ARGUMENT A FEW TIMES.

THESE ARE THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

A PRIVATE NONPROFIT, A CATHOLIC CHARITY, AFFILIATED WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

IT'S MOTIVATED BY IDEALS OF CHRISTIANITY.

DISALLOWED FROM A LOCAL STATE TAX EXEMPTION.

THE MOTIVATION WAS RELIGIOUS, THE SERVICE THEY WERE PROVIDING.

THE ACTIVITY THEY WERE PROVIDING WAS NOT RELIGIOUS THAT WAS FEEDING THE POOR.

MANY FEED THE POOR WITHOUT RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION.

THE STATE OF WISCONSIN SAID, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RELIGIOUS AND MOTIVATED BASED UPON A RELIGION.

THEY ARE NOT CONDUCTING A MASS OR PRAYING OR SOMETHING ALMOST UNIQUELY RELIGIOUS THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTION.

I BELIEVE THEY WILL DISAGREE.

>> WISCONSIN IS SAYING, WHAT, THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES, THEY SERVE AND EMPLOY NONCATHOLICS.

>> THEY DO, THAT'S TRUE.

THE REASONABLE WHY THEY DO THAT IS THERE IS IN A LOT OF RELIGIONS THEY PRACTICE RELIGION BASED UPON YOUR REACTION AND WORD.

FEEDING THE POOR AND EMPLOYING PEOPLE.

IT'S A CHARITABLE THING.

AS YOU MAY KNOW ONE OF THE THREE CHRISTIAN VIRTUES.

THE SUNSHINES ON THE BELIEVERS AND NONBELIEVERS A LIKE.

SO DOES CATHOLIC CHARITIES ACCORDING TO THEM.

>> DOES WORK IN A NONRELIGIOUS GROUP COULD AND WOULD DO.

>> IT DOES DO.

>> HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THERE.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE A BIG IMPACT.

TRADITIONALLY CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CONDUCTED CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES IF YOU CHASE THE HISTORY OF HOSPITALS ALSO IN EUROPE THEY WERE FOUNDED BY CHURCHES.

SO, THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT PRAYING OR PROFITTIZING IS NOT RELEVANT.

>> FOR THOSE YOU SERVE.

U.S. SUPREME COURT, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I DON'T THINK THEY DO.

IT'S NOT PROPHETTIZE.

IT'S SPREADING THE GOSPEL BY ACTION RATHER THAN DEED.

THAT'S A VALID RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY RELATING TO THE COURT.

THE WHOLE AREA OF LAW NEEDS TO BE REWORKED.

THE COURT SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN THEY WON'T DEFINE RELIGION.

I'M AGAINST THE COURT FINDING RELIGION AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF RELIGION THE PUBLIC DISAGREES WITH, FOR EXAMPLE.

I DISAGREE WITH THE FIRST CHURCH OF SATAN AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE TAX-EXEMPT.

I DON'T WANT THE FLAG AT CITY HALL.

I SAY LEAVE THEM ALL OUT.

I'M FOR RELIGION.

I'M A CATHOLIC MYSELF.

I BELIEVE THESE EXEMPTS FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO DEFINE RELIGION AND THAT'S A BAD THING.

I BELIEVE IN SEPARATION OF STATE.

>> I BELIEVE THE JUSTICE SAID THAT TOO.

HE SAID WHAT ARE WE, DEFINING RELIGION.

>> THEY SAY THEY DON'T BUT THEY DO.

>> IT'S CATHOLIC RUN BUT NOT CATHOLIC RESTRICTED.

OTHER RELIGIOUS THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RELIGION AND IT'S NOT A PLACE OF WORSHIP.

>> IT'S PROBLEMATIC.

I WORK BY ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL AND THREE KIDS HAVE A FEW CROSSES RIGHT ON THE TOP.

THEY DON'T PREFORM ABORTIONS.

DOES THAT MEAN ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE TAX-EXEMPT.

I THINK NOT FOR THE REASONS I HAVE ARTICULATED.

IF AND WIN THE COURT RULES IN THE FAVOR OF CATHOLIC CHARITY.

THE NEXT THING THAT WILL HAPPEN MAYBE A FREE CLINIC OFFERING MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE POOR WILL CLAIM TAXES.

>> THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING NEXT.

DOES IT LIMIT THE KEY GROUPS.

I SHOULD GET AN EXEMPTION.

>> I DON'T THINK IT DOES AND I'M AGAINST IT.

TO SAY, OH, YES IT DOES FORCES THE COURT TO DO WHAT IS PROMISED NOT TO DO AND THAT'S TO DEFINE RELIGION.

I'M AGAINST THE COURT DEFINING RELIGION.

>> INTO JUNE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> IT WILL BE A UNANIMOUS DECISION.

I WAS LISTENING TO THE ORAL ARGUMENT I WAS SURPRISED THEY TOOK THE CASE.

THE ONLY REASON WHY IS THEY WERE REVERSING THE WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ALLOW THAT DECISION TO STAND.

>> WHEN WE LISTEN TO THE ARGUMENT AND SOUNDED LIKE THE LIBERAL JUSTICES AND SWAYED BY CATHOLIC CHARITY.

THEY ARE BOTH JUSTICE JACKSON AND JUSTICE MYOR.

THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF THIS AND TREAT ALL ENTITIES ALIKE.

I DON'T BELIEVE RELIGION SHOULD BE ELEVATED ABOVE OTHER FORMS OF IMPRESSION.

>> IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO BE UNANIMOUS.

CORRECT, WHEN IT GOES THROUGH.

>> WHAT'S NEXT IS THE CATHOLIC FREE CLINIC.

HEY, WE WON'T PAY TAXES.

WE WERE SEVERING EVERYONE AND SERVANTS FALLS UNDER THE PRECEDENT.

>> STEVEN MONTOYA, ALWAYS GOOD TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>>> THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE'S DESERT REGION IS TEAMING WITH ASU TO HOST THE "RISING TOGETHER" CONFRENCE ON APRIL 11TH.

THE EVENT BRINGS TOGETHER CIVIC, FAITH, AND EDUCATION LEADERS TO ADRESS ANTISEMITISM AND HATE.HERE WITH MORE FROM THE ADL'S DESERT REGION: DEPUTY REGIONAL DIRECTOR SARAH KADER, AND BOARD CHAIR SETH RACHLIN.

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

WE FIND WE ARE IN THE MOMENT WE WANT TO RISE ABOVE TOGETHER.

IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGING 18 MONTHS WITH THE RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM.

>> THE FOCUS IS ON CONTEMRARERY ANTI-SEMITISM.

HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN?

>> CONTEMRARE ANTI-SEMITISM IS HEAVILY DEPENDENT FOR ORGANIZING PEOPLE AND IN A LOT OF WAYS THE VERY RALTY OF THE ONLINE IS CONTRIB BUTTING.

WE NEED TO BE MORE SENSITIVE TO HOW MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION SPREADS.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

>> IS IT A DIFFERENT KIND OF HATE.

IS IT ALL OF THE SAME JUST WRAPPED IN DIFFERENT CLOTHING.

>> I'D SAY THE LATER.

WE HAVE SEEN ANTI-SEMITISM AND RACISM AND OTHER FORMS OF BIGOTRY TRAVEL THEIR GREAT FELLOW TRAVELERS IF YOU WILL.

I WAS INSPIRED TO JOIN AND GET INVOLVED IN THE ANTIDEFAMATION LEAGUE BY THE CHARLOTTE'SVILLE PROTEST RIOTS ANTI-SEMITISM IS AN IMPORTANT THING.

THIS IS WHAT GOT ME GOING AND HEAVILY MOTIVATED ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM AND HATE.

>> WHEN YOU HEARD THAT SPEECH DID IT SURPRISE YOU?

>> IT SURPRISED ME A LOT.

I HAD A COMFORT LIFE HERE IN AMERICA AND DIDN'T FEEL THAT THERE WERE ACTIVE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HATED ME.

THAT'S MY NAIVETY.

WHEN THEY SAID, JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS PART OF THE US.

>> SAME QUESTION TO YOU.

CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.

IT'S SEEMS LIKE IT SURPRISES ME.

HASN'T THAT GONE AWAY?

DOES IT SURPRISE YOU?

>> IT DIDN'T SO MUCH.

SOMETIMES MY DAD WILL SAY HE'S GLAD HIS PARENTS ARE NOT HERE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY.

THEY CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE FIGHT IN ALL FORMS OF HATE.

THE RISING ABOVE TOGETHER IS APRIL 11th.

WHO IS SPEAKING?

WHAT ARE THE TOPICS?

>> WE ARE HAPPY TO THOSE WHO HAVE WRITTEN PIECES.

ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DEAL WITH HOW WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST.

WE WILL MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

>> AN IMPACTFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THIS IS A PROGRAM WHERE ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY.

WE WILL HAVE A TRACK FOR STUDENTS THIS IS TO HELP INSURE A GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL TO ATTEND.

>> HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THOSE WHO NEED TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE GET THE MESSAGE FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE HOW DO WE GET PAST THAT.

>> I WOULD HESITATE.

THE MISSION IS TWOFOLD.

GIVING PEOPLE WHO CARE THE TOOLS AND INSIGHTS TO ADDRESS THIS WITH THOSE WHO HATE EQUALLY IMPORTANTLY A FANTASTIC WAY FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

WHEN YOU FEEL HATED YOU FEEL ALONG YOU SHOW THE LEVEL ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

REALLY EVERYBODY.

I FEEL LIKE WE WOULD HAVE HAD A SUCCESS.

>> DEFINITELY.

WE WONDER WHY WE TELL THIS STORY AGAIN YOU GO WE TRY TO MEET THE MOMENT.
