Shepard, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for a free content.

2:03Now, at the end of the day, the day got it in. Shepard. Alright, in all seriousness, we have to get into something that is very much going to affect the gaming industry. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like what is going on. As I've talked about this before, as far as PC prices increasing, and of course, diamond just PC prices, really just Microsoft raising prices on Xbox consoles, Sony, PlayStation getting a $50 US price hike, what else, the 2025 tariffs explain back in May 12, 2025. Like I've covered a lot of the, you know, we try not to do politics over here, but a lot of the real world events also affects gaming and music. So I try to touch on those to tell you what exactly is affecting what you and I consume for entertainment. So now, when it comes to all these companies raising their prices, when it comes to Nintendo,

3:06and the current subject matter about to dive into, I just want to let y'all know that before we get into, before we get into this, Nintendo is no stranger as far as the courtroom. Right? Nintendo has been cracking down a piracy in the past year. This year and last year, they've been cracking down a piracy even more. Don't even get me started on the power world lawsuit that I covered back on October 2024. When Nintendo and power world were at odds, and as far as in the courtroom, it seems like Nintendo's undefeated. And to add on to that point, May 20, 2024, Nintendo won a $2.4 million user switch emulated lawsuit. So Nintendo is no stranger to go into the courtroom and bringing home an egregious amount of monetary revenue because of their settlements. Nintendo is currently suing the entire United States government.

4:13Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like what is going on? Now, of course, I'm just going to give you the information and let you do of this, which as you will, because when it comes to the entire gaming industry, I don't want to sway either way, but I do love me some gaming. And Nintendo has always held a special place in my heart, especially creating such iconic characters in video game history. But you know, when it comes to me being a US citizen, I'm basically going to give you the information, unless you do of it, what you what you will. So with that being said, Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the US federal government. The case was filed on March 6, 2026. And of course, in the United States Court of Internal International Trade, the lawsuit seeks refunds with interest or for tariffs, Nintendo claims were illegally imposed. So of course, when it comes to the tariffs, we have to talk about Donald Trump because

5:15during his administration, that is the main focus as far as the tariffs and Trump began implementing global tariffs through executive orders, February 1st. And of course, when it comes to the tariffs, what they were specifically issued under, it was the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. For short, IEEP 8, I don't know how short that is, but you get the point. So now, when you look at the Supreme Court ruling that triggered a lot of lawsuits, there was a major development which occurred shortly before Nintendo filed its case as February 20, 2026. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled the tariffs illegal. You guys, see that's the problem. The more words, be messing me up, don't they? Shepard. I'm just going to be eight more than nine two, anyways, with that being said, looking at the administration, it exceeded its authority under the IEEPA.

6:15And as far as the learning resources, ink versus Trump, that's the main thing to help as far as the Supreme Court. And of course, when it comes to the amount of tariffs collected, Nintendo's filings states the tariff policy resulted in massive collections, meaning more than $200 billion. Now, I know what you're saying to yourself, how in the actual, the Nintendo come up with $200 billion as the number for the lawsuit? Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's what we're getting into for this specific segment. As they say is more than $200 billion collected from import tariffs worldwide. And then of course, those are the like total tariffs collected. Now, when you look at another government estimate mentioned that 166 billion were collected under tariffs that were later invalidated. So now, Nintendo's pointing out the overall number and saying, hey, we need some of that because we was affected too, right?

7:16So all of these companies are coming out of the woodworks to be like, you know what? If there was a pie of $200 billion, and you was a major conglomerate that may have been affected by the tariffs, it's safe to say, you would want your money too. You guys, and I'm saying at the end of the day, I think I have to drop on here at the end of the day, you would have been looking at the US government saying, tell them to bring me my money. You know what I'm saying, you feel me? If you're looking at $200 billion as a conglomerate, you're like, hold up now, I was affected too. Tell them to bring me my money. Yeah. I mean, so anyways, that's exactly how Nintendo is feeling. So when people think this is one of a personal attack, really, they just saw the ruling that the Supreme Court had ruling the tariffs illegal February 20th, 2026, right? So they just jumped out of the woodworks, they was like, hold up now. Your own court just said they're illegal, we're going to need so many. So anyways, that's a sound like a broken record.

8:17Nintendo financial argument claims that it suffers substantial economic damage, saying that the company imported large numbers of consoles and hardware subject to tariffs. And important manufacturing locations included Cambodia, Vietnam, and both countries were included in the terror policies. So the Nintendo lawyer state, and once again, I've already ran through like my history of covering Nintendo. As far as I'm going at US, and not US, as far as I'm going at people via the courtroom, whether it's power world, whether it was the emulator that I was talking about earlier. Let me see. So as far as Nintendo winning the $2.4 million user switch emulator lawsuit, then going at power world in general, Nintendo usually wins in the courtroom. So now, when Nintendo lawyers come out and say that the company was harmed by unlawful

9:21trade measures that resulted in tariffs on its imports, safe to say, they want their money bet. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like what is going on? So as far as the state of gaming, I've already talked about Nintendo specifically, as far as the recent major mascot, Mario Tennis fever coming out, not being as profitable as other sports games. So while I'm not saying that's the main reason, it's just good to keep certain things in mind as far as what could be currently going through the offices of Nintendo. Like, oh, Mario Tennis fever is one of the worst-received sports games ever. You know what? The US Supreme Court just ruled the tariffs illegal. Let's see if we can make up for that Mario Tennis fever, not performing as well. Now that's just a theory? Just a game theory, not just playing. Now, anyways, honestly, that may have a part that may play a part, but $300 billion is kind of hard to miss up as far as trying to get your slice of the pie. So anyways, August 2025, Nintendo raised the price of the original switch due to market

10:27conditions, aka the tariffs, right? Well, looking at the proof that court law is for the court of law as far as the tariffs. But when you look at the switch to pricing, they basically remained unchanged at $449.99. So the reason why I say that is because all of this is going to be brought up in the courtroom. And some people say the switch one cost of price increase was because of the tariff cost. And the switch to pre-order delay was because of the tariffs, uncertainty, right? So that affected Nintendo. Now with the governments named, because Nintendo is just name dropping, I mean, they just out here snitching. I mean, I guess it's not snitching if you're telling the truth, but technically, I don't know, because Nintendo has seemed as a bad guy in the gaming industry to some people. And by some people, I mean, everybody who's a powerful fan, you know what I'm saying? Ring Central's AI receptionist uses voice AI to answer on the first ring, so you'll never miss a call again.

12:33on my own life experience. And I wanted to share another experience that I've had, my secret behind monetizing my show. It's called Red Circle. And I was just telling my colleague about how much I love their platform, with Red Circle not only am I getting a seamless hosting experience, but I also love the support I receive in AdSales.

That's redcircle.com for a free trial. Nintendo got to tell them the truth and labeled everybody in the lawsuit. They said the U.S. Department of Treasury, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

13:33Shepard. I'm a far stop using the soundtrack. The U.S. Department of Commerce, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and basically named officials. Yes, it didn't stop there. I said, the snitching did not stop there. We'll need to. And we beat default. We'll need to. We beat them. They basically named officials, such as Scott Bazin, I don't even know how to say that name. Kristi Noem, Jameson Greer, Rodney Scott, Howard Lutnik, and they said, hold them now. All these people are specifically who we're targeting for this lawsuit. Now, when it comes to this, Nintendo's not alone. I know. I know what you're saying. You guys. Everybody wants to make it all. It's Nintendo versus the U.S. government. And so you realize everybody in the mama trying to get the slice of that $200 billion pie. You know what I'm saying? The government came out and said the tariffs are legal. All the major corporations said to themselves at the same exact time. And guess what? They want their money. Literally, they are looking like this whole sound effect right here. Tell them to bring me my money. Yeah.

14:34I'm saying every single, every single company is looking at the U.S. government is like, bro, we want our money because the tariffs cost us a lot. From Costco, Revion, GoPro, Good Year, Toyota. Those are just a few filing the same exact lawsuit as Nintendo. So when you look at Nintendo versus U.S., it's technically not a head-on match. The U.S. government said the tariffs are legal. So now, a lot of money has to be paid out to these companies that will affect the due to the tariffs. You know what I'm saying? It's like, hold up now. You breaking the law. You know what I mean? You got to pay for that. You know what I'm saying? It's like, hold up. Sitting up in the Supreme Court, I just came to the realization, did y'all hear breaking the law? You guys. See, that's the problem. And then the other companies said to themselves, well, since you officially ruled that they are breaking the law, you would like some monetary, you know, reinstatement because a lot of money

15:35was taken via the tariffs. Sad day history for the U.S. government. So anyways, I was not really a U.S. government, it's really just, you know, I just, I try to stay out of politics because you know it's, come on, man, man, I mean, I just reason why a lot of people upset. Let's just pull like that. The refund process. So when it comes to the tariffs, you're probably wondering, how are they going to reaffirm all these companies, all these billions of dollars to companies? Well, that's an interesting question. As the agency responsible for returning the tariffs is U.S. customs and border protection. You guys. See, that's the problem. It's why I don't talk about politics, man. It's just such a, it's such a crazy show, man, this show is just a clown show. Anyways, the agency says it cannot process refunds immediately. Well, of course not. They say lack of manpower, outdated technology, huge refund volume. It's almost like, you go to your landlord, right? Your landlord's like, you know what? I'm trying to charge you 500 just because, you know what I'm saying?

16:36Just because I feel like it. I mean, so come up off that. You came up off of that for like, what, five, 10, 12, 20 months. And then the U.S. government steps in and they like, hey, landlord, you was supposed to charge them all that, give them this money back. And then the landlord like, you know what? It's going to be too much effort. You like, hold on now. What? You guys. See, that's the problem. Now, I know, I know you ain't just, I know that ain't who I think it is. I know that the U.S. government saying lack of manpower, I know that ain't who I think it is. I know that the U.S. government saying outdated, I know that ain't who I think it is. And finally, I know y'all did not just say it's a huge refund volume. My brother, who told you to take it in the first place? Allegedly. You guys. See, that's the problem. I just don't like it, man. I just don't like it. I just don't like that shit, man. Man, this is, hey, I tell you how it's gaming and music industry.

17:38That's what I cover. Politics is a clown show. Not going to lie to you. It's very important. It's good to know about certain things that affect your real life. But that's why we're touching on it right now, because it affects your real life. The government messed up like they usually do, and now they have to pay an exorbitant amount of money. You want to know the number again? Hold on. Let's go back. So if you don't get anything from the segment, if you don't get anything from the segment, $200 billion, ladies and gentlemen, was collected from tariffs worldwide. They have to pay that back. And now they're saying, I was too much effort. But then you know what I'm saying? I'm like, team, look at this. I kid you not. This whole situation is, it's very just, it's, it's, it's a befuddling, like it's just straight up bewildering at how a company, how you as government, it's just like, I don't know, I don't want to say incompetent, because obviously, you know, there's somebody who's smart in there. I just know there is. You know, there's somebody who's making this world go around. You know what I'm saying? Well, actually, you know, Jesus is making it. You get the point. As far as the systems, the operators, like somebody up there smart, like who in the world

18:42thought this was, anyways, man, let me keep going. So Trump's response after completely loosening court, right? He basically indicated he would pursue new term. You guys, see that's the problem. I don't want to talk about this anymore. I don't want to talk about this anymore, right? I kid you not. He proposed a new term of 10% global. He said, he said his tariffs, he wants to do is up to 15% maximum duration of 150 days. And he also suggested that raising the tariffs from 10% to 15%. After the Supreme Court just ruled the tariffs were illegal, man, you can't make this up. You just can't make it up. I mean, it's just hard to make it up, honestly. Anyways, Nintendo confirmed a lawsuit, but decline further comment. They basically like, bro, we like everybody else. We saw the $200 billion because of illegal tariffs and we saw you officially ruled on it. We put it all out, so then a settle, give us some money out of that. It better be a lot. Or else we're going to count us in. So once again, it is not Nintendo versus US.

19:44A lot of other companies saw the ruling that the tariffs are illegal. Costco's coming out, Revlon came out, GoPro, good year, Toyota, a bunch of, a plethora of other companies. If I got the whole list, man, it'd be super long. You know what I mean? Where the scroll is just going forever, that'd be the list of major companies, right? I mean, you may be doing, you know, some real statement because of the tariffs. Like, remember, the one, you know, interesting thing that Trump did as far as giving out a stimulus package, we need a stimulus off of the tariffs. I mean, we need the anti-terror stimulus. Not going to lie to you. Anyways, that's basically it, ladies and gentlemen. You know, when it comes to Nintendo, another W is about to happen into the courtroom. You know, we've covered Nintendo for quite some time that whenever they come out with the lawsuit, and they're ready to go to, and they're ready to go to the courtroom, safe to say they got the, about the stack, another W. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like what is going on? So that being said, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social media. So what do you think about Nintendo's lawsuit versus the US government, which is really

20:47a lot of other major corporations versus the US government as well? And when it comes to the US government officially ruling the tariffs as illegal, do you believe that the process of refunding the tariffs should be expedited, or you think it should be elongated to make up for the time that it took to take the tariffs in the first place? And of course, since that was like more of a complicated question. At the end of the day, if you're a politician out there, if you're somebody who covers politics for a living, bro, tell me how in the world the US government messed up this bad? You guys, she asked the problem. Ring Central's AI receptionist uses voice AI to answer on the first ring, so you'll never miss a call again.
