Speaker 1: New Zealand Business twenty two five. So Trump speaks to Congress.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: He has had a crack at Democrats who were not

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: clapping for him, And.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 2: Once again I look at the Democrats in front of me,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: to make them happy, or to make them stand or

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: smile or applaud Nothing I can do. I could find

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: the greatest economy and history.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: He's still going right now. Jonathan Kisley is a US

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: correspondent with US. Jonathan, Welcome to the show.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: Ryan that good afternoon, and good afternoon to all the

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: listeners across News Talk.

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: How's the speech going.

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll probably what an hour and a half into

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: it now, and he's still going. This is the American

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: President doing what he loves to do best, and that

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: is talk on television in prime time. This is normally

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: called a State of the Union address in a year

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: where there's inauguration, it's not. It's referred to as an

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: address to Congress. Largely so far it's been focused on

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: domestic issues. He's talked about immigration, he's talked about issues

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: at the border. He's talked about reducing gang crime. He's

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: talked about targeting Mexican cartels. He's spoken about those tariffs

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: that you mentioned earlier and said that the reciprocal tariffs

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: that he had planned will come into effect on April two.

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: We've just heard him in the last sixty seconds announced

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: plans for what he's calling a Golden Dome. That is

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: essentially what he says would be a state of the

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: art dome missile defense system to protect the United States

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: of America. So, after some what are we are now

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: eighteen minutes? I think now he is now shifting into

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: sort of some sort of foreign policy domestic security realm.

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: So it's taken him some time to get there. There's

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: going to be a significant amount of attention to what

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: he says about Ukraine, given the bust up he had

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: with Voladimir Zelenski in the Oval Office on Friday, US

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: times Saturday in New Zealand, time and plenty more about

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: what is going to happen with the state of that

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: mineral Still, what is going to happen with the state

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: of his plan to push for peace between Ukraine and Russia.

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: So there's still a little bit more on this to

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: one fold from the American President, but so far he's

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: largely had a very much domestic front in front of

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: a domestic audience inside the Capitol Building in Washington, DC.

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan on the trade war, has he mentioned anything about

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the stock market's reaction so far because he doesn't like

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: it when the markets go down, right.

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: Well, he's arguably more in astute watcher of the stock

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: markets in America than any American president before him. Remember

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: when he first announced that tariffs were going to come in,

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: the stock markets plummeted, and with hours he halted his

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: call and said, no, let's him pause on this for

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: a month, wait and see. So now that month has

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: effectively come in and we've seen the tariff's coming. There's

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: been no mention of the stock market, unsurprisingly from the

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: American President tonight, but a lot of talk still about tariffs.

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: He says essentially the tariffs are a way forward, that

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: tariffs will have an impact. He says that there is

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: going to be a little bit of discomfort, So that's

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: sort of paraphrasing him a little bit to come before

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: he says that America will grow. He's talking about wanting

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: to see car manufacturers come back to the United States

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: of America and to make cars. But at the moment,

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: the way the tariff system works is that there are

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: parts coming from all over the place. Essentially, things go

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: back and forward across borders multiple times. And if these

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 3: tariffs are imposed, well, then ultimately that's going to make

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: making that car more expensive, and that's going to make

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: it more expensive for the consumer too. We did hear

73
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: from his Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik earlier today who suggested

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: there might be some sort of compromise from the President

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: to come tomorrow. So will there be, Well, let's just

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: wait and see, because everybody other than those closest to

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: the president the President himself, are essentially saying a trade

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: war is not good for the United States of America,

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: it's not good for the global economy, and it's not

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: good for the American consumers who voted Donald Trump in,

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: who are still dealing with domestic issues on higher prices

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: on everyday goods, including you know, basic supplies such as eggs.

83
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, which have shot through the roof, haven't they, Jonathan,

84
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Hard to get an omelet. Jonathan Kearsley,

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: a US correspondent with US Time as seventeen away from

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: five Ryan Bridge, So Trump will just bring you some

87
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: more from his speech to Congress. As Jonathan said, he

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: is still going, but there was a lot of to

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: be honest with you, When I was watching this this afternoon,

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought, man, that is a sign of how divided

91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the United the supposedly United States of America are. Have

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: a listened to some of the reaction to the speech,

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: and then some of the reaction to the reaction by.

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: Big numbers and one counties and one counties in our

95
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: country in two thousand seven, hungred to five twenty five.

96
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: But a map that reads almost completely read for Republican.

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds a little more like a Serbian parliament,

98
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, not the United States of

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: America that we know and love. Sixteen minutes away from
