  Speaker 1: Mitch McCann joins us from the United States of America
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with the time at thirteen minutes to six. Hey Mitch, hey, Andrew,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: how are you good? That speech to Congress went on
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and on and on and on.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It's a record breaker, a dead It was more than
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: one hundred minutes, the longest presidential address in modern history,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: where Donald Trump opened with the phrase last night, America
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: is back. He spent more than one hundred minutes, as
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mentioned, going over what he called his achievements. But
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: early on there was some disruption. One Democrat had to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: be escorted out of the chamber for hickling. Donald Trump
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and others held up signs saying things like false. But
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump chosen stead to taught many of them, calling
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: them radical left lunatics. But in terms of any actual
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: substance in his speech, he made a point of saying
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that he appreciated Volodimyir Zelensky's message that Ukraine is ready
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to come to the negotiating table. And that's interesting because
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: this morning the United States has paused the sharing of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: intelligence with Ukraine. The CIA director told Fox Business that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump had a real quick about whether or not
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: let's pause, but that may not last very long. The
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: administration has really started softening its language about Zelensky and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Ukraine since that now infamous blow up at the Oval
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Office only a few days ago.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have strengthened their talk about tariffs against
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: almost all the world. Canada's reacting as well, what's reaction
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in America?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Canada very unhappy with this. Justin Trudeau yesterday saying
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it was a very dumb thing to do, aimed at
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump that comment. But it's reported the peer Donald
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Trump and Trudeau are going to speak later today about this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: But we are learning this morning there might be some
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: relief here with the tariffs, specifically targeting the auto sector.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Howard Luckneck, donald Trump's Commerce secretary, was interviewed by Bloomberg
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: this morning. He said, there are going to be tariffs,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but Donald Trump's thinking about which sections of the market
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: he's considering going giving some relief to. And the reports
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: are that that could be the auto sector as soon
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as this afternoon. And there is a lot of cars
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: car parts that transfer between Mexico, Canada and the UIs,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: so that would be a lot of belief we might
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: know as soon as this afternoon, but in an hour
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and a half from now. The White House is holding
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: its press breeding, so we may get some more information soon.
