1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Mitch McCann joins us from the United States of America

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: with the time at thirteen minutes to six. Hey Mitch, hey, Andrew,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: how are you good? That speech to Congress went on

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: and on and on and on.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: It's a record breaker, a dead It was more than

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: one hundred minutes, the longest presidential address in modern history,

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: where Donald Trump opened with the phrase last night, America

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: is back. He spent more than one hundred minutes, as

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: I mentioned, going over what he called his achievements. But

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: early on there was some disruption. One Democrat had to

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: be escorted out of the chamber for hickling. Donald Trump

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: and others held up signs saying things like false. But

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: Donald Trump chosen stead to taught many of them, calling

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: them radical left lunatics. But in terms of any actual

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: substance in his speech, he made a point of saying

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: that he appreciated Volodimyir Zelensky's message that Ukraine is ready

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: to come to the negotiating table. And that's interesting because

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: this morning the United States has paused the sharing of

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: intelligence with Ukraine. The CIA director told Fox Business that

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: Donald Trump had a real quick about whether or not

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said,

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: let's pause, but that may not last very long. The

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: administration has really started softening its language about Zelensky and

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Ukraine since that now infamous blow up at the Oval

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Office only a few days ago.

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have strengthened their talk about tariffs against

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: almost all the world. Canada's reacting as well, what's reaction

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: in America?

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Canada very unhappy with this. Justin Trudeau yesterday saying

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: it was a very dumb thing to do, aimed at

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: Donald Trump that comment. But it's reported the peer Donald

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Trump and Trudeau are going to speak later today about this.

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: But we are learning this morning there might be some

34
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: relief here with the tariffs, specifically targeting the auto sector.

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Howard Luckneck, donald Trump's Commerce secretary, was interviewed by Bloomberg

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: this morning. He said, there are going to be tariffs,

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: but Donald Trump's thinking about which sections of the market

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: he's considering going giving some relief to. And the reports

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: are that that could be the auto sector as soon

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: as this afternoon. And there is a lot of cars

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: car parts that transfer between Mexico, Canada and the UIs,

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: so that would be a lot of belief we might

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: know as soon as this afternoon, but in an hour

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: and a half from now. The White House is holding

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 2: its press breeding, so we may get some more information soon.

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,359
