1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance. Peace of mind

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. It's kind of a good wife.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchison, US correspondent with US Now.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Hi, Dan Usa Ussay, you.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: Guys are just absolutely crushing it. Hey, let's start with

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump acknowledging finally that the couple of teething issues

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: with the tariffs.

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Yes, he did say there's some transition problems with the policies,

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: and his teams are working on some deals, and he

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: had this to say, we're doing very well.

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Again, There'll be a transition cost and transition problems, but

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: in the end it's going to be it's going to

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: be a beautiful thing.

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, stocks were down today, although I'm just looking at

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: the futures right now ahead of the opening bell tomorrow

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: and it looks like they're up for the most part.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: But you know, with the tariffs on all these good

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: sort of paused, except for China, which is now at

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five percent, which was higher than

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: we thought. And I guess that had to do with

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: tariffs that had been previously put on fentanyl, which is

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: a big drug problem here in the US. But we'll

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: see if this ninety day pause is for the better

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: for the worse, And honestly, Ryan, I don't know if

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: it's one or the other at this point.

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a thing anyone does today. What about the helicopter.

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: I watched this video of the helicopter crashing into the

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Hudson River and it looked like it split apart in

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: the midia. What happened?

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: Do we know it didn't know? They're still investigating this

31
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, you know, the first thing people

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: think of is often as it is, an operator error

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: or weather. We had six people total, three adults and

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: three children that died this afternoon in Manhattan. This was

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: a family from Spain and it just lost control after

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: it turned at the George Washington Bridge to go along

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: the Jersey shoreline. And the winds were pretty mild. I mean,

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: it was you know, nine ten miles an hour, The

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: visibility was good. There'd been some rain but not at

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: the time of the flight, and the ceiling was like

41
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: it's seven thousand feet. So right now they're saying all

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the data that they're getting for that flight shows that

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: the altitude was about a thousand feet at the highest,

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: so that's below the cloud ceiling. So nobody right now

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: exactly knows what happened, but it's just another tragic air accident.

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: We've seen quite a few of those here in the

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: US in the last few months.

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: Who's this athlete going to get a billion dollar contract?

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: That is the billion dollar question. We do not know.

50
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: Is there a ceiling when it comes to the amount

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: that a baseball player or a rugby player or a

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: soccer player can and should make. There was a Los

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodger baseball player that just signed two seasons ago

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: for a ten year, seven hundred billion dollar agreement. There

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: was another one that got about seven hundred and sixty

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: five million with the New York Mets this past winter.

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: And so the former general manager of the Cincinnati Reds

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: over here he is projecting that the one billion dollar

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: threshold could be crossed in just a few years, by

60
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: twenty thirty. Now, we don't know where in the world.

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: Is it going to be a football player or soccer player? Well,

62
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be a rugby player. It could

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: be a basketball player. But the question is if that

64
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: player does cross that threshold, and it will be when

65
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean who pays for these contracts? I mean,

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: obviously the teams do, but it gets passed on to

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: the fans, doesn't it. Ticket prices and broadcast rights in

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: parking a merchandise. So how much are fans willing to pay?

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering, you know, as a fan, if these

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: paychecks turn off anyone, or if they say, you know what, hey,

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: we don't care as long as our team's winning.

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well exactly, And if you're winning, then they're worth

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: the money, right Dan, Thank you for that, Dan Mitchison,
