Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome twenty four to seven News national correspondent Rory O'Neil

(00:04):
back to the program. Yeah, it was quite a it
was quite a twenty four hours. Rory, Canada and Mexico said, well,
maybe we'll play ball, and so that's on hold for
thirty days. But China is an effect now the tariff, right.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, they'll take effect in a few days. But yes,
China is issuing retaliatory tariffs after the Trump administration allowed
ten percent tariffs on imported goods from China to take place,
China responding with fifteen percent tariffs on coal and liquefied
natural gas, also on launching an anti trust investigation into

(00:40):
Google and putting a tariff on farm equipment sold from
the US into China.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
All right, now, I heard one report that described that
response from China as a restrained and I think I
heard Trump say he's going to be talking to z E. Right,
they're going to talk today or tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Right, we believe that conversation is today. I think the
Commerce Ministry announced that it was sort of it was
in line.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
With what the US had done.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
But you know, all of this really has a strange
unknown goalpost. Right, what does President pump want or what
numbers can we put on it to see if it's
meeting these goals of trying to reduce the flow of
fentanyl into the US, trying to reduce the flow of
illegal immigration, and to try to bring balance to a

(01:31):
big trade imbalance.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That'll be an interesting and I don't think anybody would
be surprised if after that conversation they say, okay, never
mind for a while. You know, this is all this
is all negotiation, although the posture of the US China
is obviously different from the other two.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So right, and you know, the two announcements by Mexico
and China, by the way, really weren't much because you know,
Justin Trudeau had the outgoing prime minister, he already announced
that one point three billion dollar security plan after he
went to mar Lago following the November election, and President
Trump threatened the tariffs, So really the bulk of the
Canada commitment was already made. And there's ten thousand troops

(02:17):
from Mexico. They do this every four years. They announced
this during the first Trump administration, they even announced it
during the Biden administration, and here we are again.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, well, and then you know what a week or
two ago. Boy, it's been flying so fast it's hard
to remember. But Trump announced the creation of the External
Revenue Service, So so part of this is he says
this as a tax on other countries to reduce American
income taxes. But that's a ways down the road.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right, But he also wants the threat in order to
show to turn America into the bully, right or the
eight hundred pound not bully, but the eight hundred pound
guerrilla in the room, and to.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Flex the muscle a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
The threat of tariffs is going to be more powerful
than the tariffs.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right where are we? I saw an item rory that
Super Bowl ticket prices are plumbting. I guess it's all
relative though.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Right, well it is, and you better know a relative.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
But tick Pick says prices have fallen below four thousand
dollars for the cheap seats. That's about half what they
were compared to last time. But remember the last super
Bowl was in Las Vegas. It was the first Vegas
super Bowl. A lot of high rollers there. That really
did skew the price of a ticket. But still it's
less than four grand. A lot of it is because

(03:40):
New Orleans doesn't have the same cachet for big wheeler dealers,
and the fact that this is the Chiefs Eagles.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Again, you're like, all right, this again.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I guess, yeah, but yeah, that's still a time. I mean,
I don't know, I mentioned the other day. I guess
maybe people say, look, I'm just an enormous fan. I'm
gonna go I'm gonna save up, I'm going to sacrifice,
and I'm going to spend that money on a Super
Bowl ticket. I suppose there are those people out there.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, sure, the diehard fans do that, but then when
they've done it, if they did it last year, they
don't do it again.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
No, but the item is off the bucket list, right,
So that also.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Sort of reduces the interest in who's paying four grands
for one ticket?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Now you got my two? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
The thing is, it's interesting to me because we hear
about the Chiefs fatigue on the one hand. On the
other hand, you have a shot here to see literal
pro sports history being made. If the Chiefs in this,
that's three and I've never been done never. I would
think a lot of people would be in for that
part of it. But maybe not.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, you know, I mean that's a Look, I'm a
Patriots fan. There's a three history eyes. But look, we're
also tired of Patrick Mahomes in every commercial. I'd bless
Tom Brady. He didn't do the commercials, so you only
saw him play. Whereas now, what's he selling me this day?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's an interesting part of human nature, isn't it that people?
If people get tired of excellence, and okay, I want
to see somebody different, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well that's the American nature is throop.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
For the underdog, right, yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
And of course you go where you are.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
That's how you got where you are, all of us
rooting for the underdogs.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's right. Yeah, and I and I pulled myself up. Yeah,
but I mean most fans of their team is out
of it. Then you look for something interesting to capture
your your your interest, you know, and a lot of.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
People it's the sports betting now is a bigger component
than ever before. Yeah, I think the commercials. It used
to be a big thing to watch the commercials. Now
we see the commercials you know, in the weeks the
days before. That's not a big deal anymore, right, not
as big a deal anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Rory, Thanks, there he goes roy On Yill
