1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Dan Mitchenson, US correspondent with US Now, Hey, Dan, Hey, 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: hither so Connie and Trump was friendly, was lovely. Everybody's happy. 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess that's one way of putting it. 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: I mean, and I know this may come as a surprise, 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 2: but I mean the president in Canada don't have the 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 2: best of relationships right now. But as you heard the 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: president there on the world wires say, you know, it's 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: lots of people in Canada. And what was really interesting 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: up until the time of this meeting, he kept saying 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: to the media he wasn't sure why they were having 11 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: this meeting. I mean, we knew that it was going 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: to be about trade and getting to know one another. 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: But you know, the Canada PM McCartney said, you know, 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: our country is not going to be sale forever. And 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 2: Trump is still telling reporters this should be the fifty 16 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: first state, and he says he wants his friendship. But 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: at the same time he's seen, well we'll see, maybe 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: you will be the fifty first state. 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: It's a jug yep. 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: Most of us would say yes, Does the president take 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: it seriously? One thinks he probably does to some extent. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: Dan, maybe yes, if he's taking it. Seriously, how is 23 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: he going to make Canada the fifty first date? 24 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: That is the million dollar question that I wish I 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: had the answer for, Heather, but nobody does at the moment. 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: He's repeating it. 27 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: It's a joke. 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: Well, let's hope it is. Let's hope it is. 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Dan, it's obviously a joke, and you 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: know it, Dan. 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: Why would he keep repeating a joke that doesn't have 32 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: anybody laughing? 33 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: Well, because he's laughing because he didn't care what we think, 34 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: and he's a buffoon and an idiot. He thinks it's funny. 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: I guess, so I guess. Anyway, they both they both 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: are saying that there's going to be changes to the 37 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: agreement between our country and that the one that we 38 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: also have with Mexico when that comes up for renegotiation 39 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: cast here. So that was the main and you know 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: point out of this. 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: Whole this Trump joke thing is a bugbear of mine. Actually, 42 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to come back to this later in the program, 43 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: even have to deal with this again when Dan isn't listening. 44 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: But hey, this is good, right that the US and 45 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: the Hoofi's have agreed to stop bombing each other. 46 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that was another thing that came out of 47 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: this meeting today. The President announced that, you know, they 48 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: don't want to fight anymore. He said that, you know 49 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: that we're going to honor that, we being the US, 50 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: and he said that. He also informed the military to 51 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: stop its attacks a little while ago. We're going to 52 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: see how this comes together right now, but the President 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 2: says this, this announcement isn't quite a deal, but they're 54 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: working on making it a deal. So take that for 55 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: whatever it may or may not mean at this point. 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: But like you said, I mean, it's at least it's 57 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: a good you know, first in the right direction. Yeah. 58 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: Hey, So what's Caroline Leavett's problem with CNN apart from 59 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: all the problems that the White House has with CNN. 60 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this is because they had a report 61 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: of that traveled south of the border to get the 62 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: perspective of an infamous drug cartel that continues to get 63 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: you know, human trafficking and drugs into the country and 64 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: it was designated as a terrorist group at the start 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: of the second term for the president. Yeah, and so 66 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: the White House Press Secretary was scrolling through me. She 67 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: had no idea this was going on, and she said, 68 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: I was going through my Instagram feed came across the interview, 69 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: and she said, this is just blowing us away that 70 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: they're designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US government, 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: and the nature of the questions and the fact that 72 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: CNN would be doing this as just atrocious. Well, I 73 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: mean Fox would have done the same thing. Any network 74 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: would have done the same thing. Sixty minutes would have 75 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: done the same thing. But I think it's just the 76 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: white Dan. 77 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: Is her problem with the fact that they interviewed these 78 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: guys at all, or is it with the way they 79 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: interviewed them, in the tone and the treatment. 80 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of both. Right now. 81 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: I think she found the nature of the questions perhaps 82 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: more offensive than she did the actual interviewing of this 83 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: organization right now, and she's saying that this just you know, 84 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: throws the trust of the so called legacy media you know, 85 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: under the bus once again, which she claims is at 86 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: an all time low. Hey, Dan, just for just so 87 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: you know, I will be listening a little bit later 88 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: to hear what you have to. 89 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Say, Dan, Belust, Are you going to okay? Tune in 90 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: at five twenty five Dan Paul has text and said 91 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: it's a bloody joke and I'm laughing, and has text 92 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: in and said that he's laughing at you because you 93 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: don't think it's a joke. So there's at least two 94 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: people plus Donald Trump. 95 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: You know what, I'm married with two kids. I'm used 96 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: to be laughed at, So you know, take your best shot. 97 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: Hey, thank you, Dan, Okay, we'll talk about it later. 98 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. 99 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Mate.
