1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Mitch McCann is our US correspondent, and he joins us now, Mitch, 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: nice to have you on the show. Hi, right, how 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: are you good? Thank you, thanks for being with us. 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: So the iconic images of Luigi Mangioni. He's now being 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: extradited to New York. 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 2: That's right. This is the twenty six year old who 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: was accused of fatally shooting the United Healthcare chief executive 8 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: outside of Manhattan hotel a couple of weeks ago. And 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: there's been a few big developments in this case today. 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: So earlier this week he faced eleven charges at the 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: state level, but now the FBI and the US government 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: have leveled federal charges against him. So today they charged 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: him with murder through the use of a firearm, two 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 2: stalking charges, and a firearms offense as well. And as 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: you say, he was extradited back from Pennsylvania to New 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: York today and it was quite a show. They put 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: him on a helicopter and when he arrived in New 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: York there were around twenty or thirty police officers that 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: sort of paraded him in front of the cameras. New 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: York's mayor turned up as well, to really have a show. 21 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: Of force there and then he was in court this afternoon. 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: And it's interesting to note he's going to be staying 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: at the infamous Rikers Island prison in New York, which. 24 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: That is not one place you want to be, absolutely not. 25 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: What's the US Attorney General saying about the charges. 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: Well, look, they're saying that this is a premeditated attack 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: what Luisgi Mangioni did, and they're really upset at what 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: they're calling kind of this fan fear or this promotion 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: of him at the moment. And there's been an interesting 30 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: poll that's come out from Pew Research I believe it 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: was or Emerson College, and forty one percent of young 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: voters say the killing of the United Healthcare chief chief 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: executive was quote acceptable. That's a very unusual level of 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: support for Luigi Mangioni. There is means about him over 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: the internet, this kind of sort of fan fiction writing. 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: It is very strange, but there is definitely some support 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: for him out there as well. 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, truly shocking that number. Fulton counted the Fanny Willis. 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: This is the district attorney there, the local district attorney 40 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: in Georgia who was running that case against Trump and 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: the alleged election rigging. What's happened with her? Yeah, big 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: development today. 43 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: Now, this is the only one of Donald Trump's major 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: court cases that hasn't been thrown out or it hasn't finished. 45 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: It's the case where Trump and several co defendants were 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: charged over scheming to overturn the election loss in Georgia 47 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Now it emerged at Funny Willis, the 48 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: district attorney was having a romantic relationship with one of 49 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: the prosecutors that she brought onto the case, and Donald 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: Trump initially asked her to be removed because of a 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: conflict of interest and failed at doing so. However, a 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: court of appeals in Georgia today said it was inappropriate 53 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: for her to be on this case and she's going 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: to be removed. So that's a win of sorts for 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. But he's not in the clear yet in Georgia, 56 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: although this won't happen for a long time in the future. 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: What's happening with all these drones there, well, pretty much everywhere, 58 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: but mainly round New Jersey. 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, thousands of drones. Lots of discussion about it in 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: recent weeks. Some people have been asking whether it's foreign 61 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: governments are surveilling Americans or even aliens. Ryan The US government, 62 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: though is it has investigated and the drones were a 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: combination of commercial drones, people using them as a hobby, 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: and law enforcement drones and adding to the mystery today, 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a month's long ban 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: on drone flights over much of New Jersey for what 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: it calls special security reasons. And several of these restricted 68 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: zones where people can't fly the drones are around infrastructure 69 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: like power stations and things like that, but there's not 70 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: a clear reason why other than special security reasons, which 71 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: is having people asking a lot of questions again because. 72 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: All the conspiracy theorists are saying, well, it's probably a 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: foreign government that's going to take out some infrastructure, So 74 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: that's probably just adding fuel to that fire, isn't it. 75 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: Goodness man, And I think it didn't help that Donald 76 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: Trump said they need to be honest about what's going 77 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: on and adding fuel to the fire there as well 78 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: as he likes to do. 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: All right, Mitch, thank you so much for that.
