9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about this tomorrow afternoon Eastern time. And

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: simply put, we're expecting him to say. You know what

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: we've heard him say for weeks and weeks now. He

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: wants us to buy more goods made in the USA.

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: He wants to make it more expensive for companies from

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: overseas or across the boarder to ship things over here. So,

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: starting tomorrow is going to target countries the charge fees

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: on US imports. And we'll call it what it is.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a tax. It's a tax. It's

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: not going to be absorbed by retailers or mom and

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: pop businesses. It's going to be added on to what

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: we all pay when we buy a car or anything

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: that's imported.

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to look at this after five on

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the program people to get a sense of what it

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: might mean here in New Zealand, but in the States,

25
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: the US prosecutor is the case of Luigi Mangioni. This

26
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: is the guy accused of assassinating the health insurance boss

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: that going after the death penalty they are.

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Attorney General Pambondi today said that they're going to seek

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: the death penalty for him. And this is if he

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: is convicted on the capital murdered charges. And basically this

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: goes back to the December shooting of the CEO United

32
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. So Mangioni is pleaded

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: not guilty to the state charges. He was charged in

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: a federal criminal complaint. He has not been indicted on

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: those charges or entered a pleay. And really, I mean

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: this is not unexpected. The Trump administration had said that

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: they were going to try to go after the death

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: penalty for any cases where it is is it applicable,

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: And I think this is the first real high profile

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: one that we've seen since Donald Trump came into office

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: back in January.

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Now, this guy who got up and did the twenty

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: five hour space on the Senate floor is over now,

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: so he lasted twenty for US, but so can you

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: just confirm for us he didn't take break, didn't go

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: to the toilet, and stood up the whole.

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Time, basically, And let's face it, that's the question that

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: everybody in the newsroom and everybody wants to listen is

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: how can this guy hold it for twenty four hours? Right? Well,

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: now here's the thing. He had too small. He didn't

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: need anything, by the way, he had two small glasses

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: of water that he sipped near him. He was allowed,

53
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: or did allow other Democrats to give short speeches, and

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: they could ask questions to give him a rest from speaking,

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: and he could lean up against things, but he could

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: not leave the chamber, and as long as he didn't

57
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: leave the chamber, no other senator could force him to stop.

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: So he just went on and on and on, and yeah,

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: he set a new record. I think it was close

60
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: to twenty four hours and eighteen minutes something like that.

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, the remarks were going viral.

62
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: There was a speech of him on TikTok earlier. It

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: had something like two hundred or two hundred and twenty

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: million likes, and people were posting fan edits of this thing.

65
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 2: Will this really change anything? I mean, he was going

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: after Donald Trump and the Trump administration. No, does it

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: make for good sound bites in the evening news and

68
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: on the radio. Absolutely does so. I mean good for

69
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: him to be able to do this.

70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, well, I guess so. It doesn't matter

71
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: what your politics are. I think just the fact that

72
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: you can stand up for that long litt alone, not

73
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: pe for that long, and keep talking for that long

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,359
