Why what do you get out 55 00:02:47,933 --> 00:02:50,173 Speaker 3: of it? That's after three, after two o'clock. Adopt the 56 00:02:50,252 --> 00:02:53,173 Speaker 3: greyhound events has been heund today.

But the 58 00:02:56,653 --> 00:02:59,053 Speaker 3: big question we want to put you is would you 59 00:02:59,093 --> 00:03:01,533 Speaker 3: adopt a greyhound? And take it a bit wider than that? 60 00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:04,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, so a lot of greyhounds, as you know, are 61 00:03:04,213 --> 00:03:08,252 Speaker 2: becoming unemployed. They need to find homes. Are they good dog? 62 00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:11,173 Speaker 2: Would you take on a greyhound? And the wider question 63 00:03:11,532 --> 00:03:15,733 Speaker 2: of whether you should adopt dogs as opposed to buying 64 00:03:15,813 --> 00:03:18,572 Speaker 2: from a breeder. Get you get a custom or you 65 00:03:18,613 --> 00:03:22,093 Speaker 2: just get a whatever, you get a pick and max. 66 00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:24,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, adopt or shop? Ye, that is after two o'clock 67 00:03:24,813 --> 00:03:25,293 Speaker 3: pick and mix. 68 00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:25,733 Speaker 4: I like that. 69 00:03:26,053 --> 00:03:29,853 Speaker 3: But right now, let's have a chat about drinking and 70 00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:32,813 Speaker 3: potentially the demonization of those who like a drink. It's 71 00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:34,653 Speaker 3: on the back of Ben Elton. He is here in 72 00:03:34,693 --> 00:03:38,933 Speaker 3: the country onto a writer comedian rack on tour. Very 73 00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:42,173 Speaker 3: funny and very famous individual. But he's been telling interviewers 74 00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:44,053 Speaker 3: while he's been in the country, and I don't think 75 00:03:44,053 --> 00:03:45,973 Speaker 3: this is new for Ben Elton. I think he's told 76 00:03:46,053 --> 00:03:50,173 Speaker 3: this interviewers for some time that he really loves a drink. 77 00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:52,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said it for a very long time and 78 00:03:52,853 --> 00:03:57,253 Speaker 2: it was never controversial, but nowadays it's quite full on 79 00:03:57,453 --> 00:04:01,133 Speaker 2: to hear someone to talk so positively about alcohol. I'm 80 00:04:01,133 --> 00:04:03,253 Speaker 2: a huge fan of the man Young Ones is one 81 00:04:03,293 --> 00:04:06,133 Speaker 2: of my favorite TV shows of all time. A love Blackadder. 82 00:04:06,493 --> 00:04:09,933 Speaker 2: I really enjoyed his novel Stark Popcorn Identity Crisis in 83 00:04:09,933 --> 00:04:13,173 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, was his last book. Was a fantastic read. 84 00:04:14,093 --> 00:04:17,573 Speaker 2: But this is what he says about alcohol. I drink 85 00:04:17,653 --> 00:04:20,573 Speaker 2: far more than the government says its healthy. Well if 86 00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:23,452 Speaker 2: it if you sniff a sheery bottle, you're over the limit. 87 00:04:23,973 --> 00:04:27,173 Speaker 2: I love to drink. I'm never going to give it up. 88 00:04:27,653 --> 00:04:31,093 Speaker 2: But I'm not an alcoholic. I'm a happy, functional family 89 00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:34,133 Speaker 2: man and I've never been in a fight in my 90 00:04:34,293 --> 00:04:39,733 Speaker 2: life it is. You don't hear people giving that wholehearted 91 00:04:40,373 --> 00:04:43,413 Speaker 2: endorsement of alcohol. But I think most of us know 92 00:04:43,693 --> 00:04:47,013 Speaker 2: people that drink but feel bad about drinking and are 93 00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:50,493 Speaker 2: constantly trying to stop drinking and talking about their drinking 94 00:04:50,613 --> 00:04:53,613 Speaker 2: and trying to do drive julye and trying to do 95 00:04:53,773 --> 00:04:55,933 Speaker 2: sober Sunday and all the different things. And isn't there 96 00:04:55,933 --> 00:04:56,973 Speaker 2: a January one? Now? 97 00:04:57,093 --> 00:05:00,213 Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah, And this over Blindeyeh, it's too much. 98 00:05:00,293 --> 00:05:02,413 Speaker 2: Here's a February one. There's a lot of people trying 99 00:05:02,453 --> 00:05:05,453 Speaker 2: to give up alcohol, but there's also those people that 100 00:05:05,733 --> 00:05:10,053 Speaker 2: just love drinking. They're heating us, the Epicureans. They seem 101 00:05:10,093 --> 00:05:12,613 Speaker 2: to be drinking quite a lot, but they're also good 102 00:05:12,653 --> 00:05:15,413 Speaker 2: family people. They turn up to work, they do a 103 00:05:15,413 --> 00:05:18,573 Speaker 2: good job. They just don't feel bad about drinking. Yeah, 104 00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:23,333 Speaker 2: I wonder if drinking and feeling stressed about it is 105 00:05:23,373 --> 00:05:25,093 Speaker 2: worse than drinking and not feeling stressed about it. 106 00:05:25,173 --> 00:05:27,573 Speaker 3: I think you're onto something because we are. We're bombarded 107 00:05:27,733 --> 00:05:29,573 Speaker 3: all the time. Now that if you want to be healthy, 108 00:05:29,573 --> 00:05:31,213 Speaker 3: and you want to be well, and you want to 109 00:05:31,213 --> 00:05:33,413 Speaker 3: get the most out of life, then it's probably wise 110 00:05:33,613 --> 00:05:35,733 Speaker 3: for you to give up booze. If not entirely, then 111 00:05:35,773 --> 00:05:38,853 Speaker 3: then pretty much entirely, which just seems to be a 112 00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:41,933 Speaker 3: little bit of ski tactics, right that the only way 113 00:05:41,973 --> 00:05:43,173 Speaker 3: that you can get the most out of your life 114 00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:47,173 Speaker 3: is to completely give up booze. Where the equation or 115 00:05:47,173 --> 00:05:49,293 Speaker 3: the elements of drinking that you do. For a lot 116 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:52,053 Speaker 3: of us, we get some enjoyment out of it, we can. 117 00:05:52,293 --> 00:05:54,973 Speaker 3: You know, there are some good elements of sitting down 118 00:05:55,013 --> 00:05:58,053 Speaker 3: and having a drink with friends, social occasions, whatever it 119 00:05:58,093 --> 00:06:00,533 Speaker 3: may be, that never gets taken into account. Now all 120 00:06:00,533 --> 00:06:03,293 Speaker 3: of a sudden it is a bad thing to drink 121 00:06:03,333 --> 00:06:05,973 Speaker 3: alcohol rather than the opposite that we used to kind 122 00:06:05,973 --> 00:06:06,453 Speaker 3: of lean into. 123 00:06:06,613 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 2: Wow, there's a lot of tech story coming through on 124 00:06:09,253 --> 00:06:11,413 Speaker 2: both sides of it. But give us a ring. Eight 125 00:06:11,493 --> 00:06:14,893 Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty. Do you agree with ben Elton? 126 00:06:15,093 --> 00:06:15,333 Speaker 3: Yep? 127 00:06:15,573 --> 00:06:20,973 Speaker 2: And drink away, drink and be Mary, drink up. 128 00:06:21,053 --> 00:06:23,613 Speaker 3: It is eleven past one. Let's get into it.

Matt Heath and Tayler Adams Afternoons used TALKSB. 132 00:06:37,973 --> 00:06:40,533 Speaker 3: News Talks thereb it is fourteen past one, and we're 133 00:06:40,573 --> 00:06:44,493 Speaker 3: talking about the perceived demonization of those of us who 134 00:06:44,693 --> 00:06:46,573 Speaker 3: enjoy a drink on the back of ben Elton, who's 135 00:06:46,613 --> 00:06:48,613 Speaker 3: been pretty clear that he loves to drink. 136 00:06:48,853 --> 00:06:51,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the country at the moment. Is when 137 00:06:51,293 --> 00:06:53,293 Speaker 2: there's a start cour start will find that out. 138 00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:56,773 Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, yep, he is. He's here for a series 139 00:06:56,853 --> 00:07:00,653 Speaker 3: of speaking events which will be incredibly popular as a 140 00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:01,053 Speaker 3: ways are. 141 00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:02,533 Speaker 2: When I went to see him last time, he was 142 00:07:02,893 --> 00:07:06,093 Speaker 2: very funny. Yeah, absolute energizer bunny. I think he's sixty 143 00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:08,333 Speaker 2: five years old, but he's up and down the stage 144 00:07:08,373 --> 00:07:12,213 Speaker 2: age very very well. He doesn't like people say this menic, 145 00:07:12,373 --> 00:07:14,693 Speaker 2: but he comes across as menic but funny. Being a 146 00:07:14,693 --> 00:07:17,413 Speaker 2: fan of his my whole life. This is what ben 147 00:07:17,413 --> 00:07:18,373 Speaker 2: Elson had to say. 148 00:07:18,493 --> 00:07:21,053 Speaker 5: I exercise every day, but I love to drink. I 149 00:07:21,093 --> 00:07:23,533 Speaker 5: love to I mean, I will never give up booze. 150 00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:25,933 Speaker 5: I adore it. And I hate the fact that governments 151 00:07:25,933 --> 00:07:28,933 Speaker 5: seems to see it as their duty to endlessly tick 152 00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:31,173 Speaker 5: us off for doing the things we like. I mean, yeah, 153 00:07:31,213 --> 00:07:33,733 Speaker 5: some health campaigns are fine. The cigarettes, you know, Yeah, 154 00:07:33,733 --> 00:07:35,333 Speaker 5: that was kind of fine. But now let's do it 155 00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:37,933 Speaker 5: on booze, let's do it on food. I think you 156 00:07:37,973 --> 00:07:42,493 Speaker 5: know this idea that longevity is the only worthwhile medical ambition, 157 00:07:42,573 --> 00:07:45,133 Speaker 5: that it basically medicine has won. If we can all 158 00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,413 Speaker 5: just live longer and longer and longer. I think that's 159 00:07:47,453 --> 00:07:50,693 Speaker 5: madness because they don't consider the quality of life. And 160 00:07:50,813 --> 00:07:52,333 Speaker 5: you know I used to. I was doing a routine 161 00:07:52,373 --> 00:07:54,973 Speaker 5: on my last tour. You know, the government was terribly 162 00:07:55,013 --> 00:07:57,133 Speaker 5: pleased and anxious for us all to know that. Apparently 163 00:07:57,173 --> 00:07:59,013 Speaker 5: it's a fact, and it is a fact that if 164 00:07:59,053 --> 00:08:01,013 Speaker 5: you drink, even in moderation, it will not two years 165 00:08:01,053 --> 00:08:03,213 Speaker 5: off your life. And the British kind of government was 166 00:08:03,253 --> 00:08:05,733 Speaker 5: kind not everyone should know this because imagine it, these 167 00:08:05,773 --> 00:08:07,333 Speaker 5: two years of your life just for a few glass 168 00:08:07,373 --> 00:08:08,333 Speaker 5: of wine.

After lunch, 343 00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:53,013 Speaker 2: a dry martini, which was reportedly her favorite class. In 344 00:15:53,053 --> 00:15:55,573 Speaker 2: the evening, a glass of champagne before Beard. 345 00:15:55,573 --> 00:15:57,853 Speaker 3: That four standard drinks today. 346 00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:00,173 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the I was going to say, what 347 00:16:00,213 --> 00:16:01,813 Speaker 2: a classy way to drink, but it was the Queen. 348 00:16:01,933 --> 00:16:04,573 Speaker 2: So if anyone's going to be classy in their drinking, 349 00:16:04,973 --> 00:16:08,573 Speaker 2: a gin and dubinet, yeah, you'd have to get it 350 00:16:08,573 --> 00:16:10,733 Speaker 2: exact right. The pressure to make a gin and dubernet 351 00:16:10,813 --> 00:16:13,333 Speaker 2: for the Queen would be intense. 352 00:16:13,533 --> 00:16:16,213 Speaker 3: And a dry martini straight after lunch, yeah, oh well 353 00:16:16,253 --> 00:16:19,173 Speaker 3: there that's the Queen. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty, 354 00:16:19,213 --> 00:16:20,853 Speaker 3: and it's fair to say. I mean, ben Elton did 355 00:16:20,893 --> 00:16:22,853 Speaker 3: make the point because it was a question about wellness, 356 00:16:22,933 --> 00:16:25,653 Speaker 3: and he says that he exercises quite a lot to 357 00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:28,253 Speaker 3: make up for the drinking that he enjoys doing. But 358 00:16:28,293 --> 00:16:32,333 Speaker 3: his whole point was talking about the wellness argument that yes, 359 00:16:32,813 --> 00:16:36,052 Speaker 3: for some people when they drink zero alcohol, that may 360 00:16:36,053 --> 00:16:38,053 Speaker 3: be better for their physical body, But in terms of 361 00:16:38,173 --> 00:16:41,613 Speaker 3: overall happiness and enjoyment about life, what is wrong with 362 00:16:41,653 --> 00:16:43,813 Speaker 3: having the occasional drink and enjoying that. 363 00:16:43,973 --> 00:16:46,573 Speaker 2: Well occasional drink. Ben Helden's not talking about an occasional drink. 364 00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:50,613 Speaker 2: We're talking about someone that drinks a lot. Mike says, 365 00:16:50,653 --> 00:16:53,053 Speaker 2: I was like that chat earlier about the many beers 366 00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:55,813 Speaker 2: every day came up four years ago. Best thing I 367 00:16:55,933 --> 00:16:57,893 Speaker 2: gave up four years ago, the best thing I ever did. 368 00:16:58,093 --> 00:16:59,893 Speaker 2: And I was the last guy you would think would 369 00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:03,133 Speaker 2: stop drinking. Now I preach it. It's a shocker. Yeah. 370 00:17:03,173 --> 00:17:06,013 Speaker 2: I mean there's so many people. You know, you may 371 00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:11,013 Speaker 2: you may think that your life's fantastic, you know, with 372 00:17:11,213 --> 00:17:13,853 Speaker 2: how you're living it, but unless you try something else, 373 00:17:13,933 --> 00:17:15,133 Speaker 2: you might be wrong. 374 00:17:15,213 --> 00:17:15,413 Speaker 7: Yeah. 375 00:17:15,453 --> 00:17:17,933 Speaker 2: I mean, people that love alcohol and think their lives 376 00:17:17,973 --> 00:17:20,733 Speaker 2: are great, you'd still recommend that they tried taking three 377 00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:23,573 Speaker 2: months off just to find out if life could be 378 00:17:23,613 --> 00:17:24,013 Speaker 2: even better. 379 00:17:24,093 --> 00:17:26,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, just give it a punt. Oh eight hundred and 380 00:17:26,173 --> 00:17:28,573 Speaker 3: eighty teen eighty is the number to call. John. How 381 00:17:28,573 --> 00:17:29,453 Speaker 3: are you this afternoon? 382 00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:33,773 Speaker 9: Yeah, pretty well, thinked, Thank you very much. Yeah, I 383 00:17:33,813 --> 00:17:36,453 Speaker 9: just wanted to have a chat, you know, preface like, Yes, 384 00:17:36,493 --> 00:17:39,333 Speaker 9: I'm a big fan of fan of Ben Elton, you know, 385 00:17:39,733 --> 00:17:43,053 Speaker 9: enjoy his work. But also you know, I think we 386 00:17:43,133 --> 00:17:47,293 Speaker 9: need to acknowledge that alcohol is the drug that most 387 00:17:47,493 --> 00:17:49,853 Speaker 9: does the most image in New Zealand. It's the biggest 388 00:17:49,893 --> 00:17:54,853 Speaker 9: killer in relation to drugs in New Zealand, and I 389 00:17:54,893 --> 00:18:01,333 Speaker 9: think probably Ben a previous caller Brett functional alcoholics. I 390 00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:04,973 Speaker 9: think Brett even said, you know, he was considered himself 391 00:18:04,973 --> 00:18:05,573 Speaker 9: an alcoholic. 392 00:18:05,693 --> 00:18:07,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, to be fair Ben Elton, I don't think Ben 393 00:18:07,533 --> 00:18:10,493 Speaker 2: Elton considers himself and alcoholic, but yeah, Brett did say that, 394 00:18:10,493 --> 00:18:10,933 Speaker 2: didn't need. 395 00:18:10,933 --> 00:18:13,853 Speaker 9: John, Yeah, it was an interesting question to who are 396 00:18:13,973 --> 00:18:19,453 Speaker 9: opposed to to Ben? And that's that awareness. But I 397 00:18:19,493 --> 00:18:23,213 Speaker 9: think there's a real danger in you know, Ben and 398 00:18:23,333 --> 00:18:26,733 Speaker 9: yourself kind of promoting alcohol as as safe. 399 00:18:28,653 --> 00:18:31,333 Speaker 2: Who's been doing that? We haven't been. We've been just 400 00:18:31,373 --> 00:18:33,893 Speaker 2: having the discussion John, and we can. We must, we 401 00:18:33,973 --> 00:18:34,973 Speaker 2: must discuss everything. 402 00:18:35,933 --> 00:18:39,293 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. But the viy on getting 403 00:18:39,573 --> 00:18:42,333 Speaker 9: across from you is that yeah, yeah, alcohol's fine, but 404 00:18:42,373 --> 00:18:43,413 Speaker 9: it's it's really not. 405 00:18:44,733 --> 00:18:46,532 Speaker 2: No, I don't think you would have been getting that. 406 00:18:46,533 --> 00:18:48,653 Speaker 2: We're just reading out what people's feedback is we and 407 00:18:48,693 --> 00:18:50,613 Speaker 2: we allow anyone to ring up so interested in hearing 408 00:18:50,653 --> 00:18:51,773 Speaker 2: your opinion, John. 409 00:18:52,733 --> 00:18:56,933 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, So you know, hunting three and a half 410 00:18:57,013 --> 00:18:59,373 Speaker 9: liters of beer each night and then going out and 411 00:18:59,493 --> 00:19:01,853 Speaker 9: driving a truck at one in the morning. Yeah, I 412 00:19:01,853 --> 00:19:03,773 Speaker 9: think there's some some dangers in that. 413 00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:08,093 Speaker 2: Three point wasn't it? He was that was actually three 414 00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:10,773 Speaker 2: point seven five liters of a night. 415 00:19:11,293 --> 00:19:12,733 Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's a lot. 416 00:19:13,253 --> 00:19:16,253 Speaker 7: I think there's a lot. There's a lot of people. 417 00:19:16,493 --> 00:19:19,733 Speaker 9: And Ben Elson included and go, yeah, it does me 418 00:19:19,813 --> 00:19:24,572 Speaker 9: no harm, and it's it's you know, it's not an 419 00:19:24,613 --> 00:19:28,213 Speaker 9: issue for me. But and you know, you could say 420 00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:31,013 Speaker 9: saying about about smoking. My dad's ninety one and he 421 00:19:31,093 --> 00:19:33,613 Speaker 9: used to be a heavy smoker and he's saw alive 422 00:19:33,653 --> 00:19:36,093 Speaker 9: and kicking, and he'd go, yeah, he hasn't done me 423 00:19:36,293 --> 00:19:39,213 Speaker 9: too much harm. You know, fast race on the lung 424 00:19:39,253 --> 00:19:42,853 Speaker 9: for about ten years, but hasn't killed me yet. So 425 00:19:43,253 --> 00:19:47,333 Speaker 9: there's lots of people who take various sorts of drugs 426 00:19:47,373 --> 00:19:49,693 Speaker 9: and there, and they're fine, but you've got to look 427 00:19:49,693 --> 00:19:54,493 Speaker 9: at the population statistics and and yeah, alcohol is a 428 00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:54,973 Speaker 9: big dealer. 429 00:19:55,493 --> 00:19:59,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, And to go back to britt, he never drank 430 00:19:59,173 --> 00:20:01,493 Speaker 2: at night, so because he started work at one, he 431 00:20:01,653 --> 00:20:04,173 Speaker 2: only ever drank in the afternoon and then had had 432 00:20:04,293 --> 00:20:07,093 Speaker 2: full sleep. And there's no suggestion all that. Yeah, it's 433 00:20:07,333 --> 00:20:10,133 Speaker 2: no suggestion that he would he is driving this track 434 00:20:10,173 --> 00:20:12,493 Speaker 2: at all under the influence of alcohol. 435 00:20:14,093 --> 00:20:15,933 Speaker 3: Just quickly, John. So the other point that there've been 436 00:20:15,973 --> 00:20:19,133 Speaker 3: Elton made, and it is about overall wellness and physical wellness. 437 00:20:19,133 --> 00:20:21,693 Speaker 3: I think we can accept that if you have the 438 00:20:21,733 --> 00:20:24,773 Speaker 3: amount of alcohol that been claims he has, and certainly 439 00:20:24,813 --> 00:20:26,853 Speaker 3: Brent has, then that's probably not good for your body. 440 00:20:27,013 --> 00:20:29,333 Speaker 3: But the other side of the equation he was talking 441 00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:32,933 Speaker 3: about was overall mental wellness, the socialization, those aspects that 442 00:20:33,213 --> 00:20:36,813 Speaker 3: can be good for people's mental wellbeing. Surely that plays 443 00:20:36,853 --> 00:20:39,373 Speaker 3: into it a little bit. When we're talking about the 444 00:20:39,413 --> 00:20:42,733 Speaker 3: demonization of drinking alcohol. Perhaps it has swung too far 445 00:20:42,813 --> 00:20:44,933 Speaker 3: in the other way when there is some benefit that 446 00:20:45,013 --> 00:20:46,613 Speaker 3: can come out of it if you're careful. 447 00:20:49,013 --> 00:20:52,613 Speaker 9: Well, I haven't drunk alcohol for over forty years, so 448 00:20:53,213 --> 00:20:56,653 Speaker 9: I get on fine on a social aspect, until a 449 00:20:56,733 --> 00:20:59,013 Speaker 9: couple of hours into the light and everyone had a 450 00:20:59,013 --> 00:21:02,693 Speaker 9: few too many and they're just not making sense. I 451 00:21:02,733 --> 00:21:06,292 Speaker 9: think if you're relying on alcohol as approach long term, 452 00:21:06,493 --> 00:21:08,733 Speaker 9: you've got some issues. I think you've got some short 453 00:21:08,773 --> 00:21:11,213 Speaker 9: term issues and using it as a bit of a 454 00:21:11,293 --> 00:21:17,653 Speaker 9: bit of release, bit of mental pain relaxation. Yeah, there's 455 00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:20,133 Speaker 9: an argument for that. I think if you're using it 456 00:21:20,173 --> 00:21:22,453 Speaker 9: all the time, you've got a question and we'll hang on. 457 00:21:22,493 --> 00:21:24,973 Speaker 9: Maybe we need to be addressing the roo cause rather 458 00:21:25,013 --> 00:21:26,613 Speaker 9: than just using alcohol. 459 00:21:26,173 --> 00:21:26,733 Speaker 8: As a mask. 460 00:21:27,093 --> 00:21:29,853 Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for your call. John. This 461 00:21:29,933 --> 00:21:31,853 Speaker 2: Texas is just amount of time before the wells is 462 00:21:31,893 --> 00:21:37,573 Speaker 2: called in conversation about glorifying alcohol, drinking alcohol is harmful, 463 00:21:37,693 --> 00:21:39,693 Speaker 2: any of it. This is not okay. I am so 464 00:21:39,893 --> 00:21:44,853 Speaker 2: disappointed a New z b shame on you, So, I 465 00:21:44,853 --> 00:21:48,613 Speaker 2: mean there's no conversations we shouldn't have exactly, I mean 466 00:21:48,613 --> 00:21:52,333 Speaker 2: the idea that shame on you for playing the audio 467 00:21:52,373 --> 00:21:55,453 Speaker 2: of someone that's visited this country saying that they drink 468 00:21:55,813 --> 00:21:57,733 Speaker 2: quite a bit of alcohol and is still a good 469 00:21:58,013 --> 00:22:01,373 Speaker 2: family member and works very hard. I mean been Elson 470 00:22:01,373 --> 00:22:03,693 Speaker 2: has created so much content over his life. Yeah, I 471 00:22:03,733 --> 00:22:06,253 Speaker 2: mean he's written is it fifteen novels? 472 00:22:06,373 --> 00:22:09,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a legal product. I don't know what 473 00:22:09,053 --> 00:22:10,973 Speaker 3: the survey numbers are. I'll try and find them, but 474 00:22:11,053 --> 00:22:14,933 Speaker 3: I could almost guarantee that the percentage of people that 475 00:22:15,093 --> 00:22:17,253 Speaker 3: enjoy an occasional drink in New Zealand would be very 476 00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:18,173 Speaker 3: high in the nineties. 477 00:22:18,453 --> 00:22:21,573 Speaker 2: Hi, guys. The demonization of alcohol is stepped up significantly recently. 478 00:22:21,613 --> 00:22:24,213 Speaker 2: The latest wave in a woke tsunami driven by the 479 00:22:24,253 --> 00:22:26,213 Speaker 2: Green Party. I assume it's part of their plan to 480 00:22:26,253 --> 00:22:29,613 Speaker 2: broaden recreational drug use across society. There goes that's Dave's opinion. 481 00:22:30,253 --> 00:22:31,813 Speaker 2: But yeah, but when it comes to all these people 482 00:22:31,813 --> 00:22:34,853 Speaker 2: texting you shouldn't talk about it, well, I always find 483 00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:39,053 Speaker 2: that a really odd angle to take, that you shouldn't 484 00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:41,493 Speaker 2: talk about something. Why not you think you think that 485 00:22:41,573 --> 00:22:44,773 Speaker 2: everyone's so infantile in the country that if they hear 486 00:22:45,013 --> 00:22:49,893 Speaker 2: someone talking about alcohol, they'll suddenly jump up from their desk, 487 00:22:50,213 --> 00:22:52,133 Speaker 2: go to the bottlestore and buy a one one two 488 00:22:52,173 --> 00:22:55,893 Speaker 2: five of gin and come and then just give up 489 00:22:55,893 --> 00:23:00,253 Speaker 2: on life. Yeah, I think talking about things is as good, 490 00:23:00,493 --> 00:23:02,413 Speaker 2: especially on talkback right. 491 00:23:02,733 --> 00:23:04,853 Speaker 3: And lucky for us we got full boards. There's a 492 00:23:04,853 --> 00:23:06,413 Speaker 3: lot of people who want to have a chat about this. 493 00:23:06,493 --> 00:23:09,013 Speaker 3: Funnily enough one hundred and eighty two. If you can't 494 00:23:09,053 --> 00:23:12,493 Speaker 3: get through, keep trying headlines with railing covenup. 495 00:23:14,533 --> 00:23:17,973 Speaker 6: You talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxis it's 496 00:23:18,093 --> 00:23:21,213 Speaker 6: no trouble with a blue bubble.

He said, I drink far 522 00:24:50,533 --> 00:24:53,453 Speaker 3: more than the government says is healthy. If you sniff 523 00:24:53,453 --> 00:24:56,293 Speaker 3: a sherry bottle, you're over the level according to the government. 524 00:24:56,333 --> 00:24:58,653 Speaker 3: I love a drink and I'm never going to give 525 00:24:58,693 --> 00:24:59,013 Speaker 3: it up. 526 00:24:59,813 --> 00:25:01,893 Speaker 2: The sexer says, I think ben Elton did acknowledge some 527 00:25:01,933 --> 00:25:04,493 Speaker 2: of the harm alcohol does to you, eg shortening your life. 528 00:25:04,573 --> 00:25:06,532 Speaker 2: He did it with humor. Basically, when he drinks, he 529 00:25:06,573 --> 00:25:09,093 Speaker 2: makes an informed decision, which is what every patient does 530 00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:11,733 Speaker 2: when making choices with their doctor. I don't drink, but 531 00:25:11,813 --> 00:25:14,813 Speaker 2: cheers been you get my vote. Yeah. What he's saying 532 00:25:14,893 --> 00:25:19,453 Speaker 2: is that will shorten his life. But he didn't like 533 00:25:19,493 --> 00:25:24,173 Speaker 2: the light. His point was actually logically a logic that 534 00:25:24,293 --> 00:25:27,173 Speaker 2: wasn't didn't make sense because he said, well, yeah, you don't. 535 00:25:27,173 --> 00:25:31,533 Speaker 2: Actually that's he goes because he didn't think that the 536 00:25:31,853 --> 00:25:34,213 Speaker 2: end of his parents' life was a great bit, so 537 00:25:34,253 --> 00:25:37,133 Speaker 2: he didn't want to experience that last two years. Yes, 538 00:25:37,133 --> 00:25:38,733 Speaker 2: but I think the thing is if you're going to 539 00:25:39,893 --> 00:25:42,532 Speaker 2: die earlier from your alcohol consumption, you're going to have 540 00:25:42,573 --> 00:25:44,532 Speaker 2: a long period of it not being enjoyable. If you 541 00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:46,213 Speaker 2: see what I mean, You're not like a cat that 542 00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:47,973 Speaker 2: just goes and goes and goes and then drops deared. 543 00:25:48,173 --> 00:25:50,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no guarantee that you're going to 544 00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:50,773 Speaker 3: have so. 545 00:25:51,053 --> 00:25:53,613 Speaker 2: It's a slow splutter out and you can have a 546 00:25:53,653 --> 00:25:57,373 Speaker 2: period of terrible health. There is a fine line between 547 00:25:57,373 --> 00:26:00,333 Speaker 2: free choice and judgment. What about people who are awoful 548 00:26:00,373 --> 00:26:03,773 Speaker 2: with money budgeting or making terrible choices with partners which 549 00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:06,693 Speaker 2: harm burden them and their families? Easy to start making lists. 550 00:26:06,773 --> 00:26:10,213 Speaker 2: Me personally, I'm anti Marriaea drugs, but moderate drinking is 551 00:26:10,333 --> 00:26:15,573 Speaker 2: okay according to this text. This one says that isn't 552 00:26:15,573 --> 00:26:18,733 Speaker 2: it a known fact that there's no safe level of alcohol? 553 00:26:18,853 --> 00:26:22,213 Speaker 2: Cheers Eli, Yeah, I think that's where they're going now. 554 00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,973 Speaker 2: You know, they were saying for the longest time that 555 00:26:25,093 --> 00:26:28,453 Speaker 2: you know, a glass of red wine was good for you. 556 00:26:28,573 --> 00:26:30,573 Speaker 2: But I think they've walked back that. And you know 557 00:26:30,653 --> 00:26:32,933 Speaker 2: a lot of health people listen to an entire podcast 558 00:26:32,933 --> 00:26:36,213 Speaker 2: by Andrew Huberman that said, no, that what alcohol does 559 00:26:36,253 --> 00:26:38,973 Speaker 2: to you is generally bad, even just in the damage 560 00:26:38,973 --> 00:26:42,213 Speaker 2: it does to your sleep patterns. Yes, but just because 561 00:26:42,253 --> 00:26:44,573 Speaker 2: something's not good for you doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. 562 00:26:44,613 --> 00:26:47,613 Speaker 2: And we don't want to live lives that are completely 563 00:26:47,653 --> 00:26:50,293 Speaker 2: and utterly safe. That would be a terribly boring life, 564 00:26:50,293 --> 00:26:53,453 Speaker 2: wouldn't it. There are calculated risks that you make in 565 00:26:53,493 --> 00:26:56,292 Speaker 2: your life, and if you're Ben Elton, he believes that 566 00:26:56,453 --> 00:27:00,173 Speaker 2: drinking makes his life better. So he's going to continue 567 00:27:00,653 --> 00:27:04,933 Speaker 2: drinking quite a lot, even though he understands that there 568 00:27:04,973 --> 00:27:07,053 Speaker 2: are risks that comes with it exactly. 569 00:27:07,613 --> 00:27:12,413 Speaker 3: Janey, welcome the show, Hi, And what's your view on 570 00:27:12,773 --> 00:27:14,493 Speaker 3: on what being out and had to say about drinking? 571 00:27:15,653 --> 00:27:20,973 Speaker 14: Well, I think in moderation it is okay. You know, 572 00:27:21,173 --> 00:27:23,213 Speaker 14: if you're at the end of the day and that 573 00:27:23,253 --> 00:27:25,573 Speaker 14: you've been at work and you just want a cold one, 574 00:27:25,653 --> 00:27:28,093 Speaker 14: that's fine, you know, as long as it's limited. But 575 00:27:28,253 --> 00:27:30,773 Speaker 14: I think that I'm going to bring like a view 576 00:27:30,933 --> 00:27:34,973 Speaker 14: from the other side. I don't drink myself, but I 577 00:27:35,093 --> 00:27:39,373 Speaker 14: did watch my brother drink, even though my whole family didn't. 578 00:27:39,453 --> 00:27:41,933 Speaker 14: He went down that path and it was scary. It 579 00:27:41,973 --> 00:27:42,813 Speaker 14: was very scary. 580 00:27:44,373 --> 00:27:48,333 Speaker 2: So he was a he was an alcoholic. 581 00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:52,293 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yep, definitely. Very rarely did you see him 582 00:27:52,293 --> 00:27:56,053 Speaker 14: without a can of something, or it'd be boxes of 583 00:27:57,173 --> 00:28:01,653 Speaker 14: code's or whatever. And he was also on some pretty 584 00:28:01,693 --> 00:28:05,133 Speaker 14: bad drugs like higher than marijuana, shall we say, And 585 00:28:05,413 --> 00:28:09,773 Speaker 14: at times it was scarier with him drinking than it 586 00:28:10,013 --> 00:28:10,813 Speaker 14: was with him. 587 00:28:10,613 --> 00:28:13,813 Speaker 2: On that And how is he now. 588 00:28:15,173 --> 00:28:19,893 Speaker 14: He can't drink anymore because it affected his liver so much, 589 00:28:20,493 --> 00:28:22,613 Speaker 14: then that's the only reason that he can't. And I 590 00:28:22,613 --> 00:28:25,013 Speaker 14: think it's been a few years now, like a good 591 00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:28,573 Speaker 14: four years class since he's had a drink, which is good, 592 00:28:29,493 --> 00:28:32,653 Speaker 14: but yeah, it ruined his liver. So every time he drunk, 593 00:28:32,653 --> 00:28:36,213 Speaker 14: he'd curl over in pain. And yeah, it did not 594 00:28:36,413 --> 00:28:39,693 Speaker 14: do good things. So that personally has put me off. 595 00:28:39,773 --> 00:28:43,493 Speaker 14: I mean, I've never had the will to drink anyway, 596 00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:46,613 Speaker 14: but I can see both sides. Like my partner will 597 00:28:46,653 --> 00:28:49,293 Speaker 14: have like a bear once a week or something. That's cool, 598 00:28:49,733 --> 00:28:55,213 Speaker 14: you know, but if you're excessive, it's scary and people 599 00:28:55,213 --> 00:28:55,693 Speaker 14: around you. 600 00:28:56,093 --> 00:29:01,893 Speaker 2: Alcoholism as a terrible disease when you see it. It 601 00:29:01,933 --> 00:29:06,973 Speaker 2: can destroy families quite clearly. And and you know, I've 602 00:29:07,453 --> 00:29:10,213 Speaker 2: been involved in second sences were tried to help people 603 00:29:10,253 --> 00:29:14,893 Speaker 2: that alcoholics, and it's hard. It's so it's so hard 604 00:29:14,933 --> 00:29:17,493 Speaker 2: that the lies and the and the damage that you 605 00:29:17,493 --> 00:29:19,813 Speaker 2: see them doing doing to themselves. But I guess Ben 606 00:29:19,893 --> 00:29:21,773 Speaker 2: Elton is saying and kind of what you're saying, Jenny 607 00:29:21,813 --> 00:29:25,373 Speaker 2: as well, as there's that, and then there's there's there's 608 00:29:25,373 --> 00:29:28,493 Speaker 2: different levels of it, isn't there. I mean everyone that 609 00:29:28,573 --> 00:29:31,733 Speaker 2: drinks shouldn't be, you know, categorized in the same way 610 00:29:31,773 --> 00:29:34,453 Speaker 2: as as someone that had a terrible problem like your brother. 611 00:29:34,533 --> 00:29:39,373 Speaker 2: But I'm glad he's doing okay now is he okay? 612 00:29:39,773 --> 00:29:45,613 Speaker 14: Yeah? Well and the alcohol isn't Yeah. 613 00:29:44,653 --> 00:29:46,373 Speaker 2: Okay, we don't need to full audit of your brother. 614 00:29:46,693 --> 00:29:51,733 Speaker 14: But no, no, but yeah, no, it was pretty scary. 615 00:29:51,813 --> 00:29:55,173 Speaker 14: But yeah, like you know, if you're drinking it, you know, 616 00:29:55,253 --> 00:29:58,613 Speaker 14: and moderation has been not a problem. I think it's 617 00:29:58,653 --> 00:30:00,733 Speaker 14: not the alcohol it's a problem, it's how you use it. 618 00:30:01,773 --> 00:30:03,253 Speaker 2: Well, hey, thank you so much for you call, Jane. 619 00:30:03,333 --> 00:30:04,813 Speaker 2: I really appreciate you sharing that with us. 620 00:30:06,373 --> 00:30:10,093 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Jenny. Yeah, and that is obviously 621 00:30:10,173 --> 00:30:12,533 Speaker 3: for Jane's perspective, seeing her brother go through that would 622 00:30:12,533 --> 00:30:17,173 Speaker 3: obviously alter your view on alcohol. This Texas says, guys, 623 00:30:17,213 --> 00:30:20,413 Speaker 3: what is the big enjoyment with alcohol? Can anyone please explain? 624 00:30:20,533 --> 00:30:23,253 Speaker 3: Is it the taste? I suppose it's a personal preference, 625 00:30:23,653 --> 00:30:27,493 Speaker 3: you know, depending on who you ask when I have 626 00:30:27,613 --> 00:30:30,453 Speaker 3: a drink. I think it is the socialization side of things. 627 00:30:30,933 --> 00:30:33,453 Speaker 3: I don't have any alcohol during the week zero from 628 00:30:33,453 --> 00:30:36,293 Speaker 3: Monday to Friday, and I'm not making a considered effort 629 00:30:36,333 --> 00:30:38,493 Speaker 3: to do that. I just don't enjoy drinking during the week. 630 00:30:38,653 --> 00:30:40,773 Speaker 3: But on the weekend, for me, the enjoyment I get 631 00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:42,893 Speaker 3: out of it is sitting in the sun with friends 632 00:30:42,973 --> 00:30:43,813 Speaker 3: and having a good time. 633 00:30:44,853 --> 00:30:46,973 Speaker 2: You can't sit in the sun with friends and not 634 00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:48,973 Speaker 2: have a good time with alcohol. 635 00:30:49,533 --> 00:30:51,773 Speaker 3: You can, absolutely you can do, but I think it 636 00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:53,413 Speaker 3: elevates it. 637 00:30:53,413 --> 00:30:55,693 Speaker 2: It's an interesting thing, the sitting in the sun, because 638 00:30:56,973 --> 00:31:00,613 Speaker 2: that seems to be there's a lot with alcohol.

Having three beers and watching the Mask 694 00:33:36,733 --> 00:33:41,173 Speaker 11: all this afternoon probably the highlight of my last three days. 695 00:33:42,533 --> 00:33:46,853 Speaker 2: So you drink alcohol to slow your brain down because 696 00:33:46,853 --> 00:33:48,693 Speaker 2: you know one of the effects of it, as you 697 00:33:48,733 --> 00:33:50,533 Speaker 2: know that it's a it's a what do you call it? 698 00:33:50,733 --> 00:33:53,493 Speaker 2: The opposite of a stimulant?

Now that's interesting because 902 00:44:06,293 --> 00:44:10,253 Speaker 3: our adopted dog, Pepper is a greyhound mixed with Staffy 903 00:44:10,733 --> 00:44:14,732 Speaker 3: and she is super fast, pretty bloody strong, but She's 904 00:44:14,773 --> 00:44:18,893 Speaker 3: also a little bit nuts because she's been a rescue. 905 00:44:18,973 --> 00:44:22,133 Speaker 3: She's just came with a few issues that has made 906 00:44:22,573 --> 00:44:25,893 Speaker 3: life a little bit extra challenging for us, and I 907 00:44:25,933 --> 00:44:28,133 Speaker 3: would never give her up.

So if someone comes up and 1094 00:54:01,973 --> 00:54:05,053 Speaker 2: meets a greyhound and likes it, can they take one 1095 00:54:05,053 --> 00:54:05,893 Speaker 2: of them away. 1096 00:54:06,173 --> 00:54:09,613 Speaker 21: Or not on the spot. They need to apply online 1097 00:54:09,773 --> 00:54:13,693 Speaker 21: and get all these details down, but it's pretty straightforward, 1098 00:54:13,693 --> 00:54:15,853 Speaker 21: pretty easy from there. 1099 00:54:17,493 --> 00:54:17,853 Speaker 22: Yeah. 1100 00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:20,652 Speaker 21: Yeah, And they'll also try and match the greyhound to 1101 00:54:20,773 --> 00:54:24,013 Speaker 21: you as well, so your life style if you do 1102 00:54:24,093 --> 00:54:26,653 Speaker 21: have cats, obviously it's a bit harder to find, but 1103 00:54:26,853 --> 00:54:30,373 Speaker 21: some are okay with cats. 1104 00:54:28,333 --> 00:54:32,653 Speaker 2: So how do you test that whether a greyhound is 1105 00:54:32,653 --> 00:54:34,013 Speaker 2: going to be okay with cats or not. 1106 00:54:35,213 --> 00:54:37,293 Speaker 21: I'm not the trainer, so I don't know exactly, but 1107 00:54:37,453 --> 00:54:40,253 Speaker 21: just lots of Yeah, they know what they're doing. So 1108 00:54:40,333 --> 00:54:44,293 Speaker 21: I'm just fostering for them at the moment, but very 1109 00:54:44,373 --> 00:54:48,213 Speaker 21: up fostered lots of like rescue, you know, mixed breeds 1110 00:54:48,213 --> 00:54:51,013 Speaker 21: and stuff, but this the greyhounds by far being the 1111 00:54:51,053 --> 00:54:52,413 Speaker 21: easiest of to foster. 1112 00:54:52,693 --> 00:54:56,093 Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting because a lot of people would a 1113 00:54:56,093 --> 00:54:58,453 Speaker 2: lot of people would think, you know, and I would 1114 00:54:58,533 --> 00:55:00,773 Speaker 2: think that that'd be a dog that would need a 1115 00:55:00,773 --> 00:55:02,853 Speaker 2: lot of exercise and a big yard. 1116 00:55:03,293 --> 00:55:06,093 Speaker 21: But Is that not the not at all A good 1117 00:55:06,493 --> 00:55:09,212 Speaker 21: a good walk around the block and he is out 1118 00:55:09,413 --> 00:55:11,333 Speaker 21: lying down. 1119 00:55:12,493 --> 00:55:14,813 Speaker 2: Is that because they're sprinters not marathon runners. 1120 00:55:15,493 --> 00:55:20,453 Speaker 21: Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, they they can sprint, but very 1121 00:55:20,533 --> 00:55:25,693 Speaker 21: short period and then they're absolutely done, especially after expert, 1122 00:55:25,733 --> 00:55:27,893 Speaker 21: they're done for at least a couple of days. 1123 00:55:28,373 --> 00:55:33,172 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Kristin, you obviously love greyhounds. Is there any downsides? 1124 00:55:35,173 --> 00:55:38,733 Speaker 21: It's just being weary obviously because they have been racing 1125 00:55:39,253 --> 00:55:43,293 Speaker 21: so off lead and things like that is a bit harder. 1126 00:55:44,213 --> 00:55:47,533 Speaker 21: They recalls especially, Yeah, when you first adopt them, it's 1127 00:55:47,533 --> 00:55:51,093 Speaker 21: pretty non existent. So it's just doing that work for them. 1128 00:55:51,293 --> 00:55:53,173 Speaker 21: But again, as long as they're on a lead or 1129 00:55:53,173 --> 00:55:55,813 Speaker 21: a long leads, they're pretty easy. 1130 00:55:56,053 --> 00:55:56,973 Speaker 2: Can they get away from you? 1131 00:55:58,053 --> 00:55:58,292 Speaker 22: Yeah? 1132 00:55:58,733 --> 00:56:01,413 Speaker 2: Sorry, I was just going to say. My little dog's 1133 00:56:01,453 --> 00:56:03,893 Speaker 2: got stumpy little legs. And I was out walking on 1134 00:56:03,933 --> 00:56:06,373 Speaker 2: a board walk and he stopped, and I kept walking 1135 00:56:06,413 --> 00:56:08,453 Speaker 2: and didn't look back for a while, and then I 1136 00:56:08,453 --> 00:56:09,933 Speaker 2: look back and I saw him, and he was confused, 1137 00:56:09,933 --> 00:56:11,853 Speaker 2: couldn't see me, and then he ran off from the 1138 00:56:11,853 --> 00:56:14,293 Speaker 2: other direction because he was confused where I was. And 1139 00:56:14,613 --> 00:56:17,133 Speaker 2: he's tiny with stumpy legs, but he was so far 1140 00:56:17,213 --> 00:56:19,533 Speaker 2: away from me so quickly to run after him. So 1141 00:56:19,733 --> 00:56:23,253 Speaker 2: imagine with a greyhound, if they start going away from you, 1142 00:56:23,253 --> 00:56:25,413 Speaker 2: you're not catching it, then they would get a long way 1143 00:56:25,413 --> 00:56:27,253 Speaker 2: from you if. 1144 00:56:27,053 --> 00:56:30,252 Speaker 21: They saw something to chase. I don't think they would 1145 00:56:30,293 --> 00:56:32,813 Speaker 21: run up just because, but if something caught their iron, 1146 00:56:32,853 --> 00:56:37,813 Speaker 21: they wanted to chase it's and you couldn't important to 1147 00:56:37,893 --> 00:56:40,413 Speaker 21: keep them on lead. I was just going to say, 1148 00:56:40,413 --> 00:56:42,573 Speaker 21: it's kind of the best of both worlds because you're 1149 00:56:42,733 --> 00:56:46,253 Speaker 21: adopting but you're also adopting a pedigree dog, so you 1150 00:56:46,413 --> 00:56:47,413 Speaker 21: kind of got the best. 1151 00:56:47,173 --> 00:56:47,613 Speaker 8: Of both of them. 1152 00:56:47,773 --> 00:56:49,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, so there's no one, no one, There are 1153 00:56:49,973 --> 00:56:52,733 Speaker 2: no one. Quantity is really what you're saying.

Is it Peters 1371 01:07:24,813 --> 01:07:25,253 Speaker 3: or Chu Chu? 1372 01:07:27,453 --> 01:07:31,333 Speaker 15: No, it's he's named after the narrature of Georgia or 1373 01:07:31,333 --> 01:07:32,693 Speaker 15: Wells nineteen eighty four. 1374 01:07:33,093 --> 01:07:36,813 Speaker 3: Oh wow, very nice. Well, and do I need to 1375 01:07:36,853 --> 01:07:39,693 Speaker 3: ask about Twiggy. Twiggy is just you know, thoroughbreed. He's thin, 1376 01:07:39,733 --> 01:07:40,453 Speaker 3: then he's fast. 1377 01:07:41,493 --> 01:07:46,093 Speaker 15: Well she's a she. Oh okay, So Twiggy was they 1378 01:07:46,173 --> 01:07:49,813 Speaker 15: get arranges when you adopted him. So yeah, yeah, there 1379 01:07:49,853 --> 01:07:53,653 Speaker 15: you go. So she came as Ziggy and I just 1380 01:07:53,733 --> 01:07:59,693 Speaker 15: thought twiggy after the sixties, Supermodel was more appropriate, and 1381 01:08:00,093 --> 01:08:04,613 Speaker 15: Winston was called Flash or something stupid. Yeah, Winston and 1382 01:08:04,653 --> 01:08:07,293 Speaker 15: also Winston was very popular name in the seventies and 1383 01:08:07,333 --> 01:08:12,213 Speaker 15: eighties in London, especially amongst the West West Indian community. 1384 01:08:12,373 --> 01:08:13,853 Speaker 15: So wins done. 1385 01:08:14,893 --> 01:08:17,572 Speaker 2: It's a great name. But kind of ironic that your 1386 01:08:17,613 --> 01:08:20,893 Speaker 2: greyhounds called Winston and then Winston Peters came in and 1387 01:08:21,053 --> 01:08:22,652 Speaker 2: banned greyhound racing. 1388 01:08:23,053 --> 01:08:31,572 Speaker 15: Sort of first question, what's its name? But I've got 1389 01:08:31,612 --> 01:08:34,692 Speaker 15: one top tip for those who they are perfect. They're 1390 01:08:34,732 --> 01:08:37,093 Speaker 15: all good that you'll be surprised. They are small, they 1391 01:08:37,133 --> 01:08:41,333 Speaker 15: can curl up. Everyone everythinks that these guys get two 1392 01:08:41,412 --> 01:08:43,852 Speaker 15: half hour walks, one in the morning, one in the evening. 1393 01:08:44,372 --> 01:08:48,372 Speaker 15: They like going out at dusk and dawn. They get cold, 1394 01:08:48,372 --> 01:08:50,452 Speaker 15: so that's why you often see them. They've got very 1395 01:08:50,492 --> 01:08:54,293 Speaker 15: stin skin. But there's two things i'llswering. One is their teeth. 1396 01:08:55,452 --> 01:08:58,732 Speaker 15: You have to clean them daily, really because they are 1397 01:08:59,093 --> 01:09:01,412 Speaker 15: yet they're well, you don't have to, but it really 1398 01:09:01,452 --> 01:09:03,612 Speaker 15: helped because if you know all the vet bills like, 1399 01:09:04,492 --> 01:09:06,972 Speaker 15: so they are susceptible to bad teeth. So you put 1400 01:09:06,973 --> 01:09:09,612 Speaker 15: these little things on your finger and you just you've 1401 01:09:09,612 --> 01:09:11,412 Speaker 15: obviously got to they love them. 1402 01:09:11,412 --> 01:09:14,893 Speaker 2: It's so easy. 1403 01:09:15,772 --> 01:09:18,812 Speaker 15: No no, no, no, no no, no, I use I 1404 01:09:18,893 --> 01:09:25,012 Speaker 15: use a wife. She's not listening. She's a teacher, especially 1405 01:09:25,213 --> 01:09:27,932 Speaker 15: well she shouldn't be. But when I got Winston first, 1406 01:09:27,933 --> 01:09:31,492 Speaker 15: he was the first one who's actually raised. We had 1407 01:09:31,933 --> 01:09:33,892 Speaker 15: we was getting on a bit then, but a black Clad. 1408 01:09:34,452 --> 01:09:36,973 Speaker 15: So when you first get them, they have like you know, 1409 01:09:36,973 --> 01:09:39,572 Speaker 15: they sleep in crates at night. They're very well looked after, 1410 01:09:39,692 --> 01:09:44,253 Speaker 15: but they're not They have no idea. So he followed 1411 01:09:44,372 --> 01:09:47,372 Speaker 15: Reggie the black Clad to learn how to be a dog, 1412 01:09:48,133 --> 01:09:51,093 Speaker 15: and I think that really helped him as in as 1413 01:09:51,133 --> 01:09:53,652 Speaker 15: in a pet. And then when we got the second one, 1414 01:09:53,652 --> 01:09:57,652 Speaker 15: obviously Winston had that experience of you know, using the 1415 01:09:57,692 --> 01:10:01,692 Speaker 15: house as he does. And so that's really good because 1416 01:10:01,692 --> 01:10:04,372 Speaker 15: when you first get them, they haven't got a clue. 1417 01:10:04,612 --> 01:10:06,732 Speaker 15: They still chase cats, which is good because if you 1418 01:10:06,812 --> 01:10:09,173 Speaker 15: come on to my property, you get you get so 1419 01:10:09,812 --> 01:10:12,333 Speaker 15: but they very rarely catch anything. They're so fast, they 1420 01:10:12,372 --> 01:10:15,812 Speaker 15: go for about twenty seconds, and it's like, I can't 1421 01:10:15,812 --> 01:10:20,973 Speaker 15: be bothered so so that they are wonderful and I 1422 01:10:21,013 --> 01:10:24,972 Speaker 15: would encourage people if you can. And I think it's 1423 01:10:24,973 --> 01:10:28,253 Speaker 15: important because that as we had border Collie as well. 1424 01:10:28,293 --> 01:10:33,933 Speaker 15: They were probab purebreads, all from you know, breeders. But 1425 01:10:34,572 --> 01:10:36,572 Speaker 15: I used to love going to the dogs when I 1426 01:10:36,853 --> 01:10:40,812 Speaker 15: was lived back in London, and it was an issue 1427 01:10:41,173 --> 01:10:44,653 Speaker 15: twenty odd years ago back then as well about rescue greyhounds. 1428 01:10:44,692 --> 01:10:49,772 Speaker 15: So when to pank Pass, we said, right, we'll have 1429 01:10:49,812 --> 01:10:52,572 Speaker 15: a rescue you and I said, oh, greyhounds, And then 1430 01:10:52,612 --> 01:10:55,412 Speaker 15: of course said that my wife she went away and 1431 01:10:55,412 --> 01:10:58,452 Speaker 15: did her research and before you know it, I was 1432 01:10:58,492 --> 01:11:00,812 Speaker 15: down in Reston on a very wet day picking up 1433 01:11:00,812 --> 01:11:01,652 Speaker 15: a bloody greyhound. 1434 01:11:02,612 --> 01:11:05,012 Speaker 2: There you go, thank you so much for your call, Winston. 1435 01:11:05,133 --> 01:11:06,692 Speaker 3: And there you go.

What's 1467 01:12:39,213 --> 01:12:40,173 Speaker 2: the processed after that? 1468 01:12:40,293 --> 01:12:45,293 Speaker 21: Dawn, Well, we really try to keep our process simple 1469 01:12:45,652 --> 01:12:48,173 Speaker 21: for the humans and the sense of, you know, not 1470 01:12:48,293 --> 01:12:52,572 Speaker 21: making it this crazy journey, but at the same time 1471 01:12:52,612 --> 01:12:55,452 Speaker 21: making sure that the doggo is going to be loved 1472 01:12:55,492 --> 01:12:57,732 Speaker 21: and taken care of and that it's really ending up 1473 01:12:57,853 --> 01:13:01,412 Speaker 21: in a good home for it. And what we do 1474 01:13:01,532 --> 01:13:05,772 Speaker 21: is we have a rehoming team. They endeavor to match 1475 01:13:05,853 --> 01:13:08,852 Speaker 21: the greyhounds as much as they possibly can to the 1476 01:13:08,893 --> 01:13:12,452 Speaker 21: applicant that's come forward. So we're going to ask questions 1477 01:13:13,253 --> 01:13:15,492 Speaker 21: like what's your lifestyle like do you tend to like 1478 01:13:15,532 --> 01:13:17,772 Speaker 21: to hang out at home a lot? Or do you 1479 01:13:17,853 --> 01:13:20,172 Speaker 21: want a dogg o that can go to a cafe 1480 01:13:20,213 --> 01:13:22,732 Speaker 21: with you and be happy at a cafe or happy 1481 01:13:22,973 --> 01:13:25,732 Speaker 21: you know, walking through a market or are you really 1482 01:13:25,772 --> 01:13:28,972 Speaker 21: outdoorsy so you'd like to adopt a more active greyhound 1483 01:13:29,013 --> 01:13:30,652 Speaker 21: who's going to be happy to you know, tramp to 1484 01:13:30,692 --> 01:13:34,333 Speaker 21: the hanulas with you. So we get an idea of 1485 01:13:34,333 --> 01:13:36,372 Speaker 21: what's your lifestyle like do you have kids? Do not 1486 01:13:36,492 --> 01:13:39,093 Speaker 21: have kids. Are you a little bit older and we 1487 01:13:39,133 --> 01:13:40,812 Speaker 21: want to make sure we're not giving you a houndie 1488 01:13:40,812 --> 01:13:43,133 Speaker 21: that's going to you know, jump around a lot and 1489 01:13:43,173 --> 01:13:46,612 Speaker 21: pull you over. Or do you have a two year 1490 01:13:46,652 --> 01:13:48,093 Speaker 21: old and we're going to make sure that we've got 1491 01:13:48,093 --> 01:13:50,932 Speaker 21: to really calm, you know, because they're big, they're big dogs. Yeah, 1492 01:13:51,532 --> 01:13:53,933 Speaker 21: you know, we want to make sure that you're you know, 1493 01:13:53,973 --> 01:13:55,412 Speaker 21: we're not. No one's getting knocked over. 1494 01:13:55,532 --> 01:13:57,812 Speaker 2: So there must be that must be quite a process 1495 01:13:57,853 --> 01:14:01,013 Speaker 2: to find the traits of each dog. Aut do you 1496 01:14:01,213 --> 01:14:03,412 Speaker 2: you have have a system where you go, well, this 1497 01:14:03,532 --> 01:14:05,372 Speaker 2: dog's this cone of dog, the good lights, that's that's 1498 01:14:05,452 --> 01:14:07,093 Speaker 2: that's that's, that's, that's and then and then you keep 1499 01:14:07,093 --> 01:14:08,052 Speaker 2: records on each one. 1500 01:14:08,853 --> 01:14:10,812 Speaker 21: Yeah. So that's why I always say, like as best 1501 01:14:10,853 --> 01:14:13,652 Speaker 21: we can, because you know, it is a it's a 1502 01:14:13,652 --> 01:14:16,412 Speaker 21: lot to figure out about a dog in what can 1503 01:14:16,492 --> 01:14:18,492 Speaker 21: be a rather short amount of time. 1504 01:14:18,652 --> 01:14:18,852 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1505 01:14:19,532 --> 01:14:21,772 Speaker 21: So the process, I'll try to walk you through it 1506 01:14:21,893 --> 01:14:24,972 Speaker 21: quicker so I don't lose anybody's attention. But process basically 1507 01:14:25,133 --> 01:14:28,652 Speaker 21: is is if the greyhound finishes racing or they determine 1508 01:14:28,652 --> 01:14:31,133 Speaker 21: that it's not going to race, it goes into what's 1509 01:14:31,173 --> 01:14:34,372 Speaker 21: called the great mates program. That program is run by 1510 01:14:34,372 --> 01:14:39,053 Speaker 21: Greyhound Racing New Zealand. They dissect the dog, they vaccinate 1511 01:14:39,093 --> 01:14:44,452 Speaker 21: the dog o, they do different temperament testings and they 1512 01:14:44,532 --> 01:14:47,253 Speaker 21: kind of figure out, you know, there's like a light system. 1513 01:14:47,492 --> 01:14:49,452 Speaker 21: Or is that it is a green dog. That usually 1514 01:14:49,452 --> 01:14:53,052 Speaker 21: means that it's pretty bulletproof, going to happily and easily rehome. 1515 01:14:53,492 --> 01:14:55,492 Speaker 21: Is it an amber dog That might mean there's a 1516 01:14:55,492 --> 01:14:58,173 Speaker 21: little bit of some behavior stuff. You know, maybe it's anxious, 1517 01:14:58,333 --> 01:15:01,612 Speaker 21: maybe it doesn't like small fluffies things like that, maybe 1518 01:15:01,612 --> 01:15:05,133 Speaker 21: it's not good for kids, and you know, and then 1519 01:15:05,452 --> 01:15:06,933 Speaker 21: is it a red dog and that means that it 1520 01:15:06,973 --> 01:15:08,772 Speaker 21: needs to go It doesn't come to us case, it 1521 01:15:08,812 --> 01:15:11,972 Speaker 21: usually goes to another organization that kind of helps work 1522 01:15:12,013 --> 01:15:14,812 Speaker 21: with those dogos. So we're looking at greens and ambers, 1523 01:15:15,452 --> 01:15:17,692 Speaker 21: and that's kind of when they're there. They also cat 1524 01:15:17,732 --> 01:15:19,612 Speaker 21: test them when they're at the kennel's try to get 1525 01:15:19,612 --> 01:15:21,053 Speaker 21: an idea of this dog is going to live with 1526 01:15:21,093 --> 01:15:22,572 Speaker 21: a cat or if it's going to eat the cat. 1527 01:15:23,213 --> 01:15:26,532 Speaker 21: So I'd say about one in ten greyhounds is what 1528 01:15:26,532 --> 01:15:31,253 Speaker 21: we would call a cat trainable and then they come 1529 01:15:31,293 --> 01:15:34,812 Speaker 21: to us. In our ideal world, we get every single 1530 01:15:34,853 --> 01:15:38,173 Speaker 21: greyhound into foster homes, because in foster homes that's where 1531 01:15:38,173 --> 01:15:41,892 Speaker 21: we really learn about the dogs. That's not always possible, 1532 01:15:42,013 --> 01:15:45,293 Speaker 21: so sometimes we are just kind of coming with what 1533 01:15:45,293 --> 01:15:49,093 Speaker 21: we've learned about them from the kennels. So yeah, that's 1534 01:15:49,173 --> 01:15:50,892 Speaker 21: kind of where we get the information and start trying 1535 01:15:50,893 --> 01:15:53,092 Speaker 21: to figure out who they're going to live with best. 1536 01:15:53,412 --> 01:15:55,692 Speaker 3: Is there some things that you need to see from 1537 01:15:55,692 --> 01:15:58,092 Speaker 3: potential owners. Do they need a little bit of space 1538 01:15:58,333 --> 01:16:01,253 Speaker 3: or can they potentially go depending on the greyhound and 1539 01:16:01,333 --> 01:16:03,412 Speaker 3: the dog involved, go to an apartment. 1540 01:16:04,412 --> 01:16:06,532 Speaker 21: Yeah, so I live in a sixty two square meter 1541 01:16:06,612 --> 01:16:11,172 Speaker 21: apartment with two greyhounds. Wow, they are rated the second 1542 01:16:11,213 --> 01:16:15,892 Speaker 21: best apartment dog out of all dog breeds. And yeah, 1543 01:16:16,093 --> 01:16:17,452 Speaker 21: and this is because. 1544 01:16:17,213 --> 01:16:21,493 Speaker 2: What's numbers the one it's the Great Dane. 1545 01:16:23,532 --> 01:16:23,692 Speaker 7: Dog. 1546 01:16:23,853 --> 01:16:27,932 Speaker 2: The big dogs is a door that the greyhounds snuggle 1547 01:16:27,933 --> 01:16:30,732 Speaker 2: out real small though, because these skinny exactly the. 1548 01:16:30,692 --> 01:16:34,213 Speaker 21: Dog, Yes they do. And that's the thing. These big 1549 01:16:34,253 --> 01:16:37,732 Speaker 21: dogs are usually quite low energy, whereas you know, people think, oh, 1550 01:16:37,812 --> 01:16:40,372 Speaker 21: small apartment, I need a little dog, but little dogs 1551 01:16:40,853 --> 01:16:44,093 Speaker 21: are quite high energy, and they've also been bred to protect, 1552 01:16:44,372 --> 01:16:46,093 Speaker 21: so they're going to bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. 1553 01:16:46,412 --> 01:16:47,333 Speaker 11: But these big. 1554 01:16:47,133 --> 01:16:50,492 Speaker 21: Dogs, you know, greyhounds, they're not going to anything, but 1555 01:16:50,532 --> 01:16:53,092 Speaker 21: they don't bark. You know, well, okay, there's the odd 1556 01:16:53,133 --> 01:16:56,133 Speaker 21: greyhound who barks, but for the most part, they're not barkers, 1557 01:16:56,933 --> 01:16:58,652 Speaker 21: and so that's part of the reason they're so great 1558 01:16:58,652 --> 01:17:02,213 Speaker 21: in apartments. They're not going to annoy your neighbors. And 1559 01:17:02,372 --> 01:17:04,412 Speaker 21: they curl like you said, the little doughnut dogs, they 1560 01:17:04,452 --> 01:17:08,093 Speaker 21: curl up small. Also, generally, if you give them up 1561 01:17:09,013 --> 01:17:10,932 Speaker 21: or a place that they can sleep, that's where they're 1562 01:17:10,933 --> 01:17:12,652 Speaker 21: going to be. They're like, I'm going to lay here. 1563 01:17:13,492 --> 01:17:17,132 Speaker 21: The only time my apartment feels slightly small is when Henry, 1564 01:17:17,173 --> 01:17:19,293 Speaker 21: my boy greyhound, sees me pull the lead out. He 1565 01:17:19,293 --> 01:17:22,412 Speaker 21: gets really excited and he usually like pounces onto his 1566 01:17:22,532 --> 01:17:25,213 Speaker 21: giant cuddle pillar and starts prancing around the living room 1567 01:17:25,213 --> 01:17:28,293 Speaker 21: with it, making a little bit of chaos. But other 1568 01:17:28,333 --> 01:17:30,333 Speaker 21: than that, I don't really notice that I live with 1569 01:17:30,412 --> 01:17:33,452 Speaker 21: these gentle giants in a fairly small space. 1570 01:17:33,652 --> 01:17:36,652 Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

It comes from the Old English word 1593 01:18:32,093 --> 01:18:37,092 Speaker 2: gray meaning dog, and hound meaning hunting dog. So greyhound 1594 01:18:37,133 --> 01:18:41,652 Speaker 2: is actually basically dog hunting dog. There you go, because 1595 01:18:41,652 --> 01:18:43,253 Speaker 2: they're not all gray, that's for sure. 1596 01:18:43,372 --> 01:18:46,093 Speaker 3: Don't say you don't learn anything on this show.

He's ramped up the 1629 01:20:19,013 --> 01:20:22,532 Speaker 3: tariff war with China, but paused the ten percent tariff. 1630 01:20:22,572 --> 01:20:25,893 Speaker 3: So he said, I quote, what we really need is certainty. 1631 01:20:25,893 --> 01:20:28,293 Speaker 3: And part of the problem is the instability and uncertainty. 1632 01:20:28,333 --> 01:20:30,453 Speaker 3: We've woken up this morning and there's been a suspension 1633 01:20:30,692 --> 01:20:33,492 Speaker 3: of reciprocal tariff's above the ten percent level for many 1634 01:20:33,492 --> 01:20:36,452 Speaker 3: countries for ninety days. The danger is that everybody's just 1635 01:20:36,452 --> 01:20:38,772 Speaker 3: sitting there in a state of stasis, actually not wanting 1636 01:20:38,812 --> 01:20:41,333 Speaker 3: to invest, consumers not wanting to purchase or buy because 1637 01:20:41,333 --> 01:20:43,612 Speaker 3: they don't know what's happening next. He said he had 1638 01:20:43,612 --> 01:20:45,732 Speaker 3: lined up calls with a series of world leaders to 1639 01:20:45,772 --> 01:20:48,652 Speaker 3: discuss forming a trading block with countries that wanted to 1640 01:20:48,692 --> 01:20:50,892 Speaker 3: retain the free market system. 1641 01:20:51,293 --> 01:20:57,532 Speaker 2: Well that's slightly different than collectively pushing back. But I 1642 01:20:57,612 --> 01:20:59,652 Speaker 2: don't know. Yeah, I'd love people thoughts one hundred and 1643 01:20:59,652 --> 01:21:03,293 Speaker 2: eighty teen eighty because this is a developing situation. I mean, 1644 01:21:03,333 --> 01:21:06,572 Speaker 2: how different is things looking this morning than they were 1645 01:21:06,652 --> 01:21:10,532 Speaker 2: even yesterday? Do we really want to be putting up 1646 01:21:10,532 --> 01:21:12,732 Speaker 2: a hand and saying, hey, look at us, look at us, 1647 01:21:12,732 --> 01:21:14,612 Speaker 2: look at us. This is what we're doing. We totally 1648 01:21:14,652 --> 01:21:16,692 Speaker 2: disagree with you. Look look, look, look look over here, 1649 01:21:16,732 --> 01:21:21,852 Speaker 2: look at look at New Zealand. Because Trump seems to appreciate, well, 1650 01:21:22,093 --> 01:21:24,492 Speaker 2: this is he was the seventy countries that have reached 1651 01:21:24,532 --> 01:21:27,852 Speaker 2: out to him. He talks a lot about loyalty and 1652 01:21:28,253 --> 01:21:33,852 Speaker 2: the people that didn't didn't, you know, put up reciproccriprocal tariffs. 1653 01:21:34,372 --> 01:21:37,572 Speaker 2: And currently, obviously his sights are on China. But do 1654 01:21:37,652 --> 01:21:39,372 Speaker 2: we really want his sights to be on us? I 1655 01:21:39,372 --> 01:21:42,173 Speaker 2: don't know? Or is that just cowardly thinking? And if 1656 01:21:42,173 --> 01:21:45,652 Speaker 2: New Zealand believes in what Christopher Luxon believes, and if 1657 01:21:45,692 --> 01:21:48,053 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister believes in that, then he should just 1658 01:21:48,173 --> 01:21:50,492 Speaker 2: go go for it because he believes that's the right 1659 01:21:50,532 --> 01:21:50,892 Speaker 2: thing to do. 1660 01:21:51,053 --> 01:21:53,372 Speaker 3: Well, ironically, Christopher Luckson has got a lot of stick 1661 01:21:53,452 --> 01:21:55,412 Speaker 3: for you know, making a lot of noise but not 1662 01:21:55,452 --> 01:21:58,012 Speaker 3: doing much. Now he appears to want to do something. 1663 01:21:58,053 --> 01:22:01,173 Speaker 3: But I easily agree. I think that is quite a 1664 01:22:01,253 --> 01:22:04,173 Speaker 3: brave move from him to say to reporters that he 1665 01:22:04,173 --> 01:22:06,093 Speaker 3: has lined up all these calls with the leaders to 1666 01:22:06,093 --> 01:22:08,612 Speaker 3: try and form this. Well, it will be a new 1667 01:22:08,652 --> 01:22:12,852 Speaker 3: trading block, right, and there's no doubt that that will 1668 01:22:12,893 --> 01:22:16,252 Speaker 3: get back to the United States of America. And Winston 1669 01:22:16,372 --> 01:22:19,572 Speaker 3: is very very good in that foreign minister role. He 1670 01:22:19,692 --> 01:22:22,133 Speaker 3: knows how to work a room, and he knows how 1671 01:22:22,173 --> 01:22:23,892 Speaker 3: to charm, and he knows the ins and outs of 1672 01:22:23,933 --> 01:22:27,612 Speaker 3: those negotiations. And for him to say premature I would 1673 01:22:27,612 --> 01:22:29,693 Speaker 3: be leaning on the side of Winston Peters. 1674 01:22:29,333 --> 01:22:33,012 Speaker 2: Well it is. It feels like a strategy that Christopher 1675 01:22:33,093 --> 01:22:36,452 Speaker 2: Luxen this week has decided to go hard, hard on 1676 01:22:36,772 --> 01:22:39,852 Speaker 2: discussion free trade and saying exactly what New Zealand believes 1677 01:22:39,853 --> 01:22:42,253 Speaker 2: in and we do and that's how we've behaved as 1678 01:22:42,253 --> 01:22:46,053 Speaker 2: a country. And we're a very very good trading nation 1679 01:22:46,133 --> 01:22:48,133 Speaker 2: and we're very fair with other people. Yeah, I mean, 1680 01:22:48,173 --> 01:22:51,173 Speaker 2: Canada hasn't been great with us with tariff lately, but 1681 01:22:51,812 --> 01:22:54,532 Speaker 2: we are very and we have to be Basically, that's 1682 01:22:54,572 --> 01:22:58,652 Speaker 2: the situation we are in. But I don't know, I 1683 01:22:58,652 --> 01:23:01,172 Speaker 2: don't know. It seems full on and it is definitely 1684 01:23:01,253 --> 01:23:03,492 Speaker 2: quite full on that Winston Peters has said, maybe call 1685 01:23:03,532 --> 01:23:04,492 Speaker 2: you jets buddy. Yeah. 1686 01:23:04,532 --> 01:23:07,052 Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. What are your thoughts? 1687 01:23:07,213 --> 01:23:09,732 Speaker 3: Do you think christ Luxon is jumping the gun here? 1688 01:23:09,732 --> 01:23:12,253 Speaker 3: Do you agree with Winston Peters that it's premature or 1689 01:23:12,492 --> 01:23:15,612 Speaker 3: do you support what Christopher Luxen is trying to do. 1690 01:23:15,933 --> 01:23:18,213 Speaker 2: Should the PM keep his head down or should he 1691 01:23:18,293 --> 01:23:22,333 Speaker 2: be proactive? To use a business speak. 1692 01:23:22,133 --> 01:23:24,612 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1693 01:23:24,732 --> 01:23:29,412 Speaker 3: It is eleven past three. Very good afternoon to you. 1694 01:23:29,452 --> 01:23:32,732 Speaker 3: So we're talking about the pushback from Winston Peters. He 1695 01:23:32,973 --> 01:23:36,212 Speaker 3: is speaking out against the Prime Minister's plans to combat 1696 01:23:36,293 --> 01:23:40,452 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's tariffs. So Christopher Luxen announced plans this morning 1697 01:23:41,133 --> 01:23:44,492 Speaker 3: to potentially form a free trading block of Asia, Pacific 1698 01:23:44,492 --> 01:23:49,012 Speaker 3: and EU countries. He spoke to worldly leaders this afternoon, 1699 01:23:49,093 --> 01:23:51,053 Speaker 3: some of those world leaders this afternoon, he says, but 1700 01:23:51,572 --> 01:23:54,612 Speaker 3: Winston Peters is not backing the Prime minister. He called 1701 01:23:54,612 --> 01:23:58,492 Speaker 3: his moves very premature, and he says before rushing off 1702 01:23:58,492 --> 01:24:01,133 Speaker 3: to find new solutions. The government should be finding out 1703 01:24:01,133 --> 01:24:04,612 Speaker 3: what happened there first and getting to the negotiating table. 1704 01:24:05,812 --> 01:24:10,013 Speaker 2: So it's an interesting coalition. Governments are interesting out there, 1705 01:24:10,053 --> 01:24:11,892 Speaker 2: especially with one Speeds because this is the deputy prime 1706 01:24:11,893 --> 01:24:16,652 Speaker 2: minister and sort of a contradicting the prime ministers. It's 1707 01:24:16,692 --> 01:24:20,772 Speaker 2: pretty interesting. But yeah, I mean, the question we're asking 1708 01:24:21,013 --> 01:24:23,852 Speaker 2: is should Christopher Luxen be going so hard at this 1709 01:24:23,893 --> 01:24:26,492 Speaker 2: point or should he just wait? Ye As Whenston Peter says, 1710 01:24:26,532 --> 01:24:29,612 Speaker 2: to see how things settle currently America and China are 1711 01:24:29,612 --> 01:24:31,372 Speaker 2: going at each other, do we really want to put 1712 01:24:31,452 --> 01:24:34,093 Speaker 2: up our hand and say, look at us, look at us. 1713 01:24:34,133 --> 01:24:38,852 Speaker 2: We're trying to form a new trading block, but of Asia, 1714 01:24:38,853 --> 01:24:40,652 Speaker 2: Pacific and EU countries to push back. 1715 01:24:40,692 --> 01:24:41,973 Speaker 3: Do we really want to say that? It kind of 1716 01:24:41,973 --> 01:24:44,492 Speaker 3: feels like the only advantage we've got at the moment 1717 01:24:44,732 --> 01:24:47,452 Speaker 3: is that the US is not really paying attention to us, 1718 01:24:47,452 --> 01:24:50,213 Speaker 3: which is a good thing, and by keeping it down 1719 01:24:50,612 --> 01:24:53,852 Speaker 3: and not ruffling feathers or trying to set up a 1720 01:24:53,893 --> 01:24:57,333 Speaker 3: potentially new trading block with other like minded nations at 1721 01:24:57,333 --> 01:25:00,372 Speaker 3: this stage, I would be leaning to what Winston Peters 1722 01:25:00,412 --> 01:25:02,412 Speaker 3: is saying here that Hey, now is not the time 1723 01:25:02,572 --> 01:25:04,852 Speaker 3: for going for a new strategy. Let's just call our jets, 1724 01:25:04,933 --> 01:25:08,852 Speaker 3: keep our head down and hopefully the US will treat 1725 01:25:08,933 --> 01:25:09,852 Speaker 3: us quietly going forward. 1726 01:25:09,893 --> 01:25:12,213 Speaker 2: Trump's only in office for four years. This is this texture. 1727 01:25:12,293 --> 01:25:15,093 Speaker 2: He can't run again. Reacting might be premature, but safeguarding 1728 01:25:15,093 --> 01:25:18,133 Speaker 2: New Zealand against any future trade instabilities, whether from the 1729 01:25:18,213 --> 01:25:20,572 Speaker 2: US or elsewhere, is never going to be a bad thing. 1730 01:25:20,812 --> 01:25:24,333 Speaker 2: And so I support the Prime Minister's move. You know, 1731 01:25:25,093 --> 01:25:27,772 Speaker 2: he's doing it quite publicly, though, isn't he Because you 1732 01:25:27,812 --> 01:25:30,093 Speaker 2: could have these chats to all these leaders and just 1733 01:25:30,213 --> 01:25:34,572 Speaker 2: you know, feel things out a bit. But he's doing 1734 01:25:34,612 --> 01:25:36,652 Speaker 2: the press rounds and saying, look that this is what 1735 01:25:36,812 --> 01:25:39,412 Speaker 2: I want to do. I want to He's being very 1736 01:25:39,492 --> 01:25:42,772 Speaker 2: very clear on that he doesn't support what America is doing. Yeah, 1737 01:25:42,853 --> 01:25:44,492 Speaker 2: Luxon should keep out of it. He's not the world 1738 01:25:44,612 --> 01:25:48,173 Speaker 2: CEO he thinks he is. Says this texture. Yeah, Charlie, 1739 01:25:48,253 --> 01:25:48,772 Speaker 2: your thoughts. 1740 01:25:51,612 --> 01:25:53,852 Speaker 16: It depends exactly what he's trying to do. On the 1741 01:25:53,893 --> 01:25:56,253 Speaker 16: sweet he's pushing back against Trump. It's not a good idea, 1742 01:25:56,293 --> 01:25:59,293 Speaker 16: but it doesn't sound like that's what he's doing. If 1743 01:25:59,333 --> 01:26:02,932 Speaker 16: he's looking for a way of maybe leveraging some more 1744 01:26:02,973 --> 01:26:05,572 Speaker 16: momentum on free trade agreements and people like India and 1745 01:26:05,612 --> 01:26:07,052 Speaker 16: such like. It's a fabulous idea. 1746 01:26:08,812 --> 01:26:14,133 Speaker 3: Do you see the angle from Winston Peters And he's 1747 01:26:14,213 --> 01:26:16,893 Speaker 3: you know, he hasn't used incredibly strong language here, but 1748 01:26:16,933 --> 01:26:20,612 Speaker 3: he's alluded that it's premature and right now, arguably it's 1749 01:26:20,652 --> 01:26:23,852 Speaker 3: better for us just to keep our heads low. And 1750 01:26:23,933 --> 01:26:26,732 Speaker 3: we do have diplomat diplomats in the US right now, 1751 01:26:26,853 --> 01:26:29,572 Speaker 3: probably around the negotiating table or in a good position 1752 01:26:29,652 --> 01:26:33,132 Speaker 3: to start those negotiations. Is that a fair argument, Sharp. 1753 01:26:34,933 --> 01:26:36,772 Speaker 16: I don't know. I mean, we're not highly in the 1754 01:26:36,772 --> 01:26:39,572 Speaker 16: fact that we believe in free trade, and that's Luxon's 1755 01:26:39,572 --> 01:26:41,932 Speaker 16: a huge part of that part of it. So he's 1756 01:26:41,973 --> 01:26:44,013 Speaker 16: not going to against everything he believes. I mean, we've 1757 01:26:44,053 --> 01:26:46,892 Speaker 16: been spending the last however many years trying to get 1758 01:26:46,893 --> 01:26:49,892 Speaker 16: a free trade agreement with all these countries. In a 1759 01:26:49,893 --> 01:26:52,932 Speaker 16: way this could fast track our ability to do that, So, 1760 01:26:53,213 --> 01:26:55,093 Speaker 16: you know, I don't think it's a slight on trumb 1761 01:26:55,133 --> 01:26:57,133 Speaker 16: and details him. I don't believe in taris while he 1762 01:26:57,213 --> 01:27:00,333 Speaker 16: said that a million times, most people have done. But 1763 01:27:00,372 --> 01:27:02,213 Speaker 16: if he's using it as a pushback to Trent and 1764 01:27:02,213 --> 01:27:05,012 Speaker 16: that's quite different, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. 1765 01:27:05,973 --> 01:27:08,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because I'm just reading the headlin that 1766 01:27:08,572 --> 01:27:12,293 Speaker 2: came through and this is breaking and it said the 1767 01:27:12,372 --> 01:27:15,932 Speaker 2: Foreign Minister's criticized Chris Philux's plan to move on forming 1768 01:27:16,093 --> 01:27:18,532 Speaker 2: free trading Block of Asia Pacific in the new countries 1769 01:27:18,572 --> 01:27:22,213 Speaker 2: to collectively push back. Can we just bring up what 1770 01:27:22,293 --> 01:27:24,932 Speaker 2: actually Winston Peters is said, because it has just just happened. 1771 01:27:24,933 --> 01:27:26,852 Speaker 2: If we play that and let's actually listen to what 1772 01:27:26,853 --> 01:27:28,532 Speaker 2: Winston Peters said, we'll. 1773 01:27:28,372 --> 01:27:31,093 Speaker 3: Just get that audio lined up. You just give us 1774 01:27:31,133 --> 01:27:33,653 Speaker 3: a thumbs up when you've got that ready to go. Andrew, 1775 01:27:33,973 --> 01:27:36,333 Speaker 3: So this was Winston Peters. He was at an event 1776 01:27:36,652 --> 01:27:39,372 Speaker 3: earlier today and he was asked the question about this 1777 01:27:39,452 --> 01:27:41,972 Speaker 3: new plan. This is him speaking right now. 1778 01:27:42,253 --> 01:27:44,412 Speaker 4: This is all very premature. Well, look, and we're trying 1779 01:27:44,452 --> 01:27:45,053 Speaker 4: to sort out this. 1780 01:27:45,013 --> 01:27:48,133 Speaker 20: Other thing with America and China's trade war, and we're 1781 01:27:48,173 --> 01:27:49,092 Speaker 20: rushing off the solutions. 1782 01:27:49,173 --> 01:27:50,492 Speaker 4: Let's find out what happened there first. 1783 01:27:51,372 --> 01:27:53,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's find out what happens there first. Is 1784 01:27:53,853 --> 01:27:57,053 Speaker 2: what he's saying. Do you think that there's any do 1785 01:27:57,093 --> 01:27:59,812 Speaker 2: you think that's what? Why is it all? Charlie just wait, 1786 01:27:59,933 --> 01:28:02,892 Speaker 2: like still completely still completely believe in free trade as 1787 01:28:02,893 --> 01:28:05,973 Speaker 2: we do, and obviously Luxon has his views. But do 1788 01:28:06,013 --> 01:28:09,213 Speaker 2: you think there might be some advance auntage and just 1789 01:28:09,612 --> 01:28:12,172 Speaker 2: playing a little bit quiet at this point? 1790 01:28:14,013 --> 01:28:14,452 Speaker 22: I don't know. 1791 01:28:14,532 --> 01:28:18,612 Speaker 16: I mean the Jackie Grady played after that actually seem 1792 01:28:18,692 --> 01:28:22,612 Speaker 16: to specify exactly what Laxman was doing, which was going 1793 01:28:22,612 --> 01:28:24,612 Speaker 16: about as this is. I mean, there could be some 1794 01:28:24,652 --> 01:28:27,932 Speaker 16: good that comes out of this, you know, we don't 1795 01:28:27,973 --> 01:28:30,253 Speaker 16: know how. Apparently it just just been reading and the 1796 01:28:30,372 --> 01:28:33,052 Speaker 16: thing that China reaching out to Australia at the moment 1797 01:28:33,612 --> 01:28:35,412 Speaker 16: going to be best budies with him more. I mean, 1798 01:28:35,412 --> 01:28:37,973 Speaker 16: now I'm sure the Australians are good because that is 1799 01:28:37,973 --> 01:28:40,612 Speaker 16: that going to annoy Trump while Australia's doing that with China. 1800 01:28:40,692 --> 01:28:42,532 Speaker 16: I don't know. But where do you draw the line 1801 01:28:42,572 --> 01:28:44,973 Speaker 16: with this guy? I mean he's a crazy man. I 1802 01:28:45,013 --> 01:28:47,093 Speaker 16: mean every day he changes and changes his mind and 1803 01:28:47,133 --> 01:28:49,812 Speaker 16: what he's going to do. I just think we need 1804 01:28:49,812 --> 01:28:52,053 Speaker 16: to carry on what we believe in, as you say, 1805 01:28:52,253 --> 01:28:54,133 Speaker 16: I don't think we're pushing back on Trump. I just 1806 01:28:54,133 --> 01:28:56,053 Speaker 16: think for being smart. 1807 01:28:56,133 --> 01:28:57,972 Speaker 2: Yeah, or maybe it's getting to the table on time. 1808 01:28:58,093 --> 01:29:00,572 Speaker 2: But you know, people say that Trump is changing what 1809 01:29:00,612 --> 01:29:04,253 Speaker 2: he does every day, but he's been He campaigned on 1810 01:29:04,333 --> 01:29:08,293 Speaker 2: saying exactly what he was going to do around tariffs. 1811 01:29:08,492 --> 01:29:10,732 Speaker 2: Some footage of him on Oprah talking about it from 1812 01:29:10,812 --> 01:29:14,093 Speaker 2: the nineties. Trump has been very clear what he's doing. 1813 01:29:15,213 --> 01:29:17,253 Speaker 2: He's but he's actually doing what he said he was 1814 01:29:17,253 --> 01:29:18,892 Speaker 2: going to do when he was campaigning, which I think 1815 01:29:19,013 --> 01:29:21,492 Speaker 2: is freaking out freaking people out a little bit. Yeah, 1816 01:29:21,853 --> 01:29:25,053 Speaker 2: but he's not opposed you know, maybe just doesn't even 1817 01:29:25,093 --> 01:29:27,293 Speaker 2: care about New Zealand, but he's definitely not opposed to 1818 01:29:27,452 --> 01:29:29,732 Speaker 2: just slamming someone because they put their head up, that's 1819 01:29:29,732 --> 01:29:30,053 Speaker 2: for sure. 1820 01:29:30,213 --> 01:29:33,372 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to Charlie's point, I can understand that. 1821 01:29:33,692 --> 01:29:36,333 Speaker 3: And Charlie, I get your point that if there are 1822 01:29:36,933 --> 01:29:42,333 Speaker 3: opportunities that can be gained from, you know, countries, say 1823 01:29:42,333 --> 01:29:46,652 Speaker 3: in the European Union that traditionally we haven't had strong 1824 01:29:46,652 --> 01:29:49,133 Speaker 3: trading relationships with, if we can leverage that, that's a 1825 01:29:49,133 --> 01:29:51,612 Speaker 3: good thing. But you've got to get that balance, right, 1826 01:29:51,692 --> 01:29:54,732 Speaker 3: don't you. With what is happening currently, it's clearly a 1827 01:29:54,853 --> 01:29:58,412 Speaker 3: very moving situation and every country needs to be very 1828 01:29:58,452 --> 01:29:59,772 Speaker 3: careful about how they tackle it. 1829 01:30:01,412 --> 01:30:03,972 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean that this ninety day flip flot yesterday. 1830 01:30:04,013 --> 01:30:07,253 Speaker 16: It just shows that he misunderstood how the market is 1831 01:30:07,253 --> 01:30:10,053 Speaker 16: going to react. And I wouldn't be surprised if this 1832 01:30:10,133 --> 01:30:13,732 Speaker 16: ninety days gets pushed out further, you know, I mean, what. 1833 01:30:13,692 --> 01:30:15,372 Speaker 2: Do you say to people that don't say that. You 1834 01:30:15,372 --> 01:30:17,293 Speaker 2: know a lot of people in America are saying that 1835 01:30:17,293 --> 01:30:19,333 Speaker 2: that wasn't a flip flop, that this is the plan 1836 01:30:19,692 --> 01:30:22,333 Speaker 2: all along, and it's just Trump playing out his Art 1837 01:30:22,372 --> 01:30:25,612 Speaker 2: of the Deal strategy that is, you know, was in 1838 01:30:25,612 --> 01:30:26,812 Speaker 2: his nineteen eighty seven book. 1839 01:30:28,572 --> 01:30:30,532 Speaker 16: Well, I guess you had to decide which side on 1840 01:30:30,532 --> 01:30:32,293 Speaker 16: whether he's a genius or idiot. 1841 01:30:33,093 --> 01:30:38,053 Speaker 3: Ye, yeah, thank you for your call, but just you know, 1842 01:30:38,173 --> 01:30:42,173 Speaker 3: and that is your bang on that. He has been 1843 01:30:42,173 --> 01:30:46,292 Speaker 3: talking about his not love of terrorists, but he clearly 1844 01:30:46,973 --> 01:30:49,652 Speaker 3: likes that strategy, and he's been talking about that not 1845 01:30:49,853 --> 01:30:51,692 Speaker 3: just in the last year, but for the last twenty 1846 01:30:51,732 --> 01:30:54,812 Speaker 3: thirty years. Right, So nobody can say they didn't know 1847 01:30:54,933 --> 01:30:56,932 Speaker 3: it was going to happen. The problem was that they 1848 01:30:57,013 --> 01:30:59,253 Speaker 3: never thought he was going to implement it because they 1849 01:30:59,293 --> 01:31:01,852 Speaker 3: couldn't understand the rationale. But that's very different. He was 1850 01:31:01,933 --> 01:31:04,372 Speaker 3: quite clear, quite clear during the campaign that he was 1851 01:31:04,412 --> 01:31:06,253 Speaker 3: going to en next terists. He said it again and again. 1852 01:31:06,333 --> 01:31:10,813 Speaker 2: Dude has been talking about it for thirty years. Yeah, exactly, 1853 01:31:11,572 --> 01:31:14,412 Speaker 2: how does that saying go about? Evil happens when others 1854 01:31:14,452 --> 01:31:16,932 Speaker 2: stay silent, good on lucks and support China and others 1855 01:31:16,973 --> 01:31:21,932 Speaker 2: being made to kick kiss Trump's butt? Yeah, I mean yeah, 1856 01:31:22,053 --> 01:31:23,692 Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of what I was saying before 1857 01:31:23,732 --> 01:31:27,333 Speaker 2: was and I was like, is Luxon doing this because 1858 01:31:27,333 --> 01:31:29,492 Speaker 2: he thinks it's a moral stand? I don't know. I 1859 01:31:29,492 --> 01:31:33,892 Speaker 2: imagine he must think that this is a strategy, a 1860 01:31:33,973 --> 01:31:38,093 Speaker 2: strategy to you know, jump in while things are hot 1861 01:31:38,492 --> 01:31:40,812 Speaker 2: and see if he can sort things out for New Zealand. 1862 01:31:41,372 --> 01:31:42,772 Speaker 2: But you know, I guess time will tell. 1863 01:31:42,933 --> 01:31:46,572 Speaker 3: Yeah. Quick, a couple of messages here, Tyler, You're clearly 1864 01:31:46,612 --> 01:31:48,412 Speaker 3: not an export. No I am not. So if you 1865 01:31:48,452 --> 01:31:50,093 Speaker 3: are an export, I love to hear from you. How 1866 01:31:50,093 --> 01:31:52,412 Speaker 3: do you feel about this? Are you right behind Christopher 1867 01:31:52,452 --> 01:31:54,732 Speaker 3: Luckxon's plans or are you more akin to what Winston 1868 01:31:54,772 --> 01:31:57,372 Speaker 3: Peters are saying is that we just need to take 1869 01:31:57,412 --> 01:32:00,652 Speaker 3: a step back and just let the dust settle and 1870 01:32:00,772 --> 01:32:03,213 Speaker 3: then start to decide what our strategy is going forward. 1871 01:32:03,253 --> 01:32:05,612 Speaker 2: I think when s Peter's has been handling things with Trump, wisely, 1872 01:32:05,692 --> 01:32:08,532 Speaker 2: and we got off lightly with only ten percent. Like 1873 01:32:08,612 --> 01:32:11,012 Speaker 2: Peter said, we should wait to see where the chips 1874 01:32:11,013 --> 01:32:13,692 Speaker 2: settle first and not be too hasty in our reaction. 1875 01:32:13,853 --> 01:32:16,772 Speaker 2: Not to mention it's foolish to upset Trump. That is 1876 01:32:18,093 --> 01:32:21,372 Speaker 2: saying what I tried to say in a such a 1877 01:32:21,492 --> 01:32:23,492 Speaker 2: much more succinct way than I've been trying to say. 1878 01:32:23,532 --> 01:32:25,012 Speaker 2: Thank you, dear, thanks you for your text. 1879 01:32:25,492 --> 01:32:27,452 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1880 01:32:27,492 --> 01:32:32,013 Speaker 3: It's twenty three past three. 1881 01:32:33,173 --> 01:32:36,532 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred 1882 01:32:36,612 --> 01:32:38,572 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty on News Talk said. 1883 01:32:38,452 --> 01:32:42,293 Speaker 3: Be afternoon, twenty five past three, and we're talking about 1884 01:32:43,853 --> 01:32:46,213 Speaker 3: a potential change in strategy from the Prime Minister that 1885 01:32:46,253 --> 01:32:49,292 Speaker 3: he's looking into. It's getting a little bit of pushback 1886 01:32:49,293 --> 01:32:52,452 Speaker 3: from Winston Peters. So what the Prime Minister says he 1887 01:32:52,812 --> 01:32:55,852 Speaker 3: is looking to do is he wants to put the 1888 01:32:55,853 --> 01:32:58,692 Speaker 3: feelers out for a potential new free trading block with 1889 01:32:58,732 --> 01:33:02,012 Speaker 3: out Asia Pacific partners and others in the European Union 1890 01:33:02,053 --> 01:33:04,333 Speaker 3: on the back of the tariff situation that is still 1891 01:33:04,412 --> 01:33:08,333 Speaker 3: unfolding as we speak. Winston Peters has said today very 1892 01:33:08,412 --> 01:33:11,532 Speaker 3: recently that it's probably time to just have a we 1893 01:33:11,692 --> 01:33:13,973 Speaker 3: pause and a breather. I'm paraphrasing here, this is not 1894 01:33:14,013 --> 01:33:14,612 Speaker 3: a direct quote. 1895 01:33:14,612 --> 01:33:17,892 Speaker 2: Clearly, he's saying, there's a lot going on between America 1896 01:33:17,933 --> 01:33:21,012 Speaker 2: and China right now, let's just let the dust settle. 1897 01:33:21,572 --> 01:33:24,892 Speaker 2: Is this more about Is this more about the wind 1898 01:33:24,933 --> 01:33:28,372 Speaker 2: being taken out of Winston's role as trade negotiator. Winston 1899 01:33:28,412 --> 01:33:32,253 Speaker 2: doesn't like his turf being encroached on this. Texasays, thank 1900 01:33:32,293 --> 01:33:36,093 Speaker 2: god for Winston yet again, Luxeon showing his naivety. And 1901 01:33:36,133 --> 01:33:38,133 Speaker 2: this has been said. Trump can get a third term, 1902 01:33:38,452 --> 01:33:41,093 Speaker 2: he can be elected a third time. JD can be 1903 01:33:41,133 --> 01:33:43,812 Speaker 2: elected and step down to let the VP Trump take 1904 01:33:43,853 --> 01:33:46,213 Speaker 2: the reins. I'm living in hope for that to happen, 1905 01:33:46,293 --> 01:33:51,972 Speaker 2: said Jake. So as everything with Trump in the headline, 1906 01:33:52,973 --> 01:33:57,892 Speaker 2: there are wildly disparate views. Glenn, welcome to the show. 1907 01:33:57,933 --> 01:33:58,532 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on this? 1908 01:34:00,732 --> 01:34:03,813 Speaker 23: You guys just oh. 1909 01:34:03,572 --> 01:34:05,612 Speaker 3: Glenn, think we just last year. We'll put you back 1910 01:34:05,612 --> 01:34:06,972 Speaker 3: to Andrew one. We got you back. 1911 01:34:08,853 --> 01:34:11,652 Speaker 23: A couple of things. Firstly, Trump's flip flopping all over 1912 01:34:11,692 --> 01:34:15,053 Speaker 23: the place. At the time he was announcing that there 1913 01:34:15,093 --> 01:34:18,013 Speaker 23: was a ninety day pause going on. One of this 1914 01:34:18,692 --> 01:34:23,653 Speaker 23: as made your advisers, was speaking to Congress saying Congress 1915 01:34:24,053 --> 01:34:27,012 Speaker 23: saying that they were staying the course. The left hand 1916 01:34:27,053 --> 01:34:28,732 Speaker 23: doesn't know what the right hand's doing. 1917 01:34:29,053 --> 01:34:31,572 Speaker 2: Well, that's is one of his advisors. That that's you 1918 01:34:31,612 --> 01:34:34,012 Speaker 2: don't know whether his advisor wasn't on the plan though, 1919 01:34:34,732 --> 01:34:34,893 Speaker 2: you know. 1920 01:34:37,133 --> 01:34:40,933 Speaker 23: Sorry, the reality is he was saying that Trump was 1921 01:34:40,973 --> 01:34:44,012 Speaker 23: going to stay the cause he'd been talking for two hours. 1922 01:34:44,133 --> 01:34:47,333 Speaker 23: Had to be interrupt Congress to say that Trump had 1923 01:34:47,372 --> 01:34:48,133 Speaker 23: changed his mind. 1924 01:34:48,372 --> 01:34:53,213 Speaker 2: So do you think, though, if we agree that, let's 1925 01:34:53,293 --> 01:34:56,492 Speaker 2: just say for argument's sake, that Trump Trump is flip 1926 01:34:56,492 --> 01:35:00,293 Speaker 2: flopping all over the place, do you think under those 1927 01:35:00,333 --> 01:35:04,972 Speaker 2: circumstances it's good for us to be playing a hand, 1928 01:35:05,253 --> 01:35:07,452 Speaker 2: as christ of Luxon seems to be, or do you 1929 01:35:07,492 --> 01:35:10,412 Speaker 2: think as Winston Peters seems to be, suggesting that we 1930 01:35:10,612 --> 01:35:12,172 Speaker 2: wait things, wait for things to settle. 1931 01:35:13,372 --> 01:35:15,852 Speaker 23: I don't think he's playing his hand. I think one 1932 01:35:15,893 --> 01:35:17,972 Speaker 23: of the things that New Zealand needs to do. It's 1933 01:35:17,973 --> 01:35:22,852 Speaker 23: a very I think partners that we are trading with 1934 01:35:23,173 --> 01:35:27,253 Speaker 23: in a free trade agreement all the time before. 1935 01:35:27,973 --> 01:35:31,852 Speaker 2: Oh man, we've lost you, Glenn, because we really want 1936 01:35:31,893 --> 01:35:34,253 Speaker 2: to hear what you think about this. Yeah, but we're 1937 01:35:34,293 --> 01:35:36,333 Speaker 2: currently just having terrible phone line from you. 1938 01:35:36,372 --> 01:35:38,812 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we'll go to Greg in the meantime and hopefully 1939 01:35:38,853 --> 01:35:39,932 Speaker 3: get Glenn back. Get a greeg. 1940 01:35:41,013 --> 01:35:41,852 Speaker 22: How are you going, guys? 1941 01:35:41,853 --> 01:35:44,772 Speaker 2: Oh that's a beautiful clear line from you, Greg. Thank you. 1942 01:35:45,772 --> 01:35:50,293 Speaker 22: Take take Trump seriously but not always literally. He loves 1943 01:35:50,452 --> 01:35:56,452 Speaker 22: McDonald's and they love our mince Man, right, brilliant those 1944 01:35:57,213 --> 01:36:01,532 Speaker 22: So look, he's a horse trader. Watch previous Paller said 1945 01:36:01,572 --> 01:36:04,892 Speaker 22: about the guy in Congress. There was actually some hours 1946 01:36:05,013 --> 01:36:10,012 Speaker 22: in between those two clubs. If he was watching CNN 1947 01:36:10,133 --> 01:36:11,892 Speaker 22: or something, that's probably what he would have seen. 1948 01:36:12,013 --> 01:36:12,532 Speaker 8: It would have been. 1949 01:36:12,692 --> 01:36:14,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a bit of pus, there's been a 1950 01:36:14,173 --> 01:36:15,932 Speaker 2: bit of there's been a bit of pushback on how 1951 01:36:15,973 --> 01:36:17,372 Speaker 2: that was that was put together. 1952 01:36:18,133 --> 01:36:18,852 Speaker 7: Oh, of course, of. 1953 01:36:18,812 --> 01:36:19,412 Speaker 24: Course it is. 1954 01:36:19,452 --> 01:36:19,933 Speaker 25: Of course it is. 1955 01:36:20,093 --> 01:36:23,732 Speaker 22: I mean they had they had several people talking like 1956 01:36:23,812 --> 01:36:26,812 Speaker 22: from twenty four hours ago over there, and I watched 1957 01:36:26,973 --> 01:36:29,333 Speaker 22: all the cable networks for three or four hours a day. 1958 01:36:29,372 --> 01:36:33,692 Speaker 22: It's a bit of an illness really. But look, he's 1959 01:36:33,692 --> 01:36:36,852 Speaker 22: got close to seventy countries. Now that he's got three 1960 01:36:36,893 --> 01:36:39,093 Speaker 22: of the experts are going to sit down with and 1961 01:36:39,173 --> 01:36:43,692 Speaker 22: negotiate and at the end of the day, China is 1962 01:36:43,692 --> 01:36:47,932 Speaker 22: the problem, and they've isolated China as the problem. You 1963 01:36:47,933 --> 01:36:50,772 Speaker 22: look over the Bibing years with the spy balloon, and 1964 01:36:50,812 --> 01:36:55,452 Speaker 22: there's all the punching of intellectual property, there's there's a 1965 01:36:55,532 --> 01:36:59,092 Speaker 22: trillion odd dollar trade deficit, and there are other countries 1966 01:36:59,173 --> 01:37:02,892 Speaker 22: like Canada and Canada itself. The hypocrisy there is I 1967 01:37:02,893 --> 01:37:07,053 Speaker 22: think was it twenty twenty three they stuck a one 1968 01:37:07,093 --> 01:37:10,412 Speaker 22: hundred percent tariff on Indian e cars and e bikes. 1969 01:37:12,053 --> 01:37:16,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well we're currently they're currently screwing us over 1970 01:37:16,133 --> 01:37:17,852 Speaker 2: tariff that at the moment. We've got them in the 1971 01:37:18,173 --> 01:37:20,052 Speaker 2: world trade courts at the moment Canada. 1972 01:37:20,452 --> 01:37:22,932 Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, So look, at the end of the day, 1973 01:37:24,053 --> 01:37:25,852 Speaker 22: the markets are going to be all over the place, 1974 01:37:25,933 --> 01:37:28,853 Speaker 22: as they were with Covid, as they were with the BFC. 1975 01:37:30,572 --> 01:37:33,213 Speaker 22: Just let the dust settle. And I'd rather have Winston 1976 01:37:33,293 --> 01:37:36,372 Speaker 22: on it than Luxton on it at the moment. If 1977 01:37:36,372 --> 01:37:38,333 Speaker 22: the crap at the fan and we had a referendum, 1978 01:37:38,333 --> 01:37:39,852 Speaker 22: which way do you want to go? You know, do 1979 01:37:39,893 --> 01:37:41,932 Speaker 22: you want to go with China or the United States? 1980 01:37:42,093 --> 01:37:43,612 Speaker 22: Where do you think that vote would end up? 1981 01:37:44,452 --> 01:37:48,492 Speaker 2: Yeah? Now, Greg, if this is a standoff, between China 1982 01:37:49,093 --> 01:37:52,012 Speaker 2: and America. Who do you think will blink first? 1983 01:37:54,013 --> 01:37:57,372 Speaker 22: Well, China's in a massive, massive financial hole at the moment. 1984 01:37:57,372 --> 01:38:00,293 Speaker 22: They've built city upon city upon city that are empty. 1985 01:38:01,532 --> 01:38:04,612 Speaker 22: Their whole shear market was I think seventy percent geared 1986 01:38:04,692 --> 01:38:08,892 Speaker 22: to their population, and a lot of them, you know, 1987 01:38:08,933 --> 01:38:11,372 Speaker 22: the mid class people in China over the years, that 1988 01:38:11,452 --> 01:38:13,612 Speaker 22: have lost a lot of that value and shares because 1989 01:38:13,612 --> 01:38:17,213 Speaker 22: the government promotes these people to buy shares to crop 1990 01:38:17,253 --> 01:38:23,132 Speaker 22: the market up. It's a sugar coated plastic economy. If 1991 01:38:23,173 --> 01:38:27,852 Speaker 22: you look at at and America. Look, he wants to reindustrialize. 1992 01:38:28,093 --> 01:38:31,973 Speaker 22: Why not at the moment there was a conflict, the 1993 01:38:32,053 --> 01:38:36,213 Speaker 22: military conflict. China's got the steel, the aluminium, The've got 1994 01:38:36,213 --> 01:38:39,852 Speaker 22: the pharmaceuticals that got all the PPP gear in America 1995 01:38:39,893 --> 01:38:42,852 Speaker 22: hasn't and that's what he wants to flip around. 1996 01:38:43,333 --> 01:38:46,732 Speaker 2: I guess the question is how quickly can manufacturing come 1997 01:38:46,772 --> 01:38:49,652 Speaker 2: back to the United States. And if you add into 1998 01:38:49,732 --> 01:38:53,012 Speaker 2: it that China doesn't really have elections, well, it doesn't 1999 01:38:53,013 --> 01:38:55,812 Speaker 2: have elections. It has elections, but we always know who's 2000 01:38:55,853 --> 01:38:58,972 Speaker 2: going to win the elections. Whereas Trump has to keep 2001 01:38:59,013 --> 01:39:02,053 Speaker 2: his people on side. There's midterms that come up at 2002 01:39:02,093 --> 01:39:05,253 Speaker 2: some point and the Republican Party might blink and start 2003 01:39:05,253 --> 01:39:09,732 Speaker 2: putting pressure on him. So under that that, you know, 2004 01:39:10,053 --> 01:39:13,133 Speaker 2: just just democracy versus not democracy, you can you can 2005 01:39:13,213 --> 01:39:17,732 Speaker 2: hold on to your plans for longer. From China's perspective, well, look, 2006 01:39:17,772 --> 01:39:18,412 Speaker 2: put it this way. 2007 01:39:18,452 --> 01:39:21,053 Speaker 22: Can America keep kicking their debt can down the road? 2008 01:39:21,173 --> 01:39:21,372 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2009 01:39:21,372 --> 01:39:24,572 Speaker 22: They forty trillion in debt now, if that's what the 2010 01:39:24,612 --> 01:39:29,333 Speaker 22: Democrats want, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow. The interest alone is 2011 01:39:29,372 --> 01:39:31,932 Speaker 22: more than their GDP in the States. It has to 2012 01:39:32,013 --> 01:39:35,893 Speaker 22: change somehow somewhere, and he's getting billions of dollars in 2013 01:39:36,053 --> 01:39:40,692 Speaker 22: every day with terraffs. There are countries that are now going, yeah, okay, yeah, 2014 01:39:40,692 --> 01:39:43,253 Speaker 22: we do need to talk to you. Yes, we're the 2015 01:39:43,293 --> 01:39:46,133 Speaker 22: European Union. We're slapping thirty percent on your cars and 2016 01:39:46,133 --> 01:39:48,293 Speaker 22: you're putting two and a half percent on our cars. 2017 01:39:49,093 --> 01:39:51,933 Speaker 22: If that was New Zealand and Australia and you know, 2018 01:39:52,253 --> 01:39:55,133 Speaker 22: a trade sort of spat, I think people in this 2019 01:39:55,173 --> 01:39:57,412 Speaker 22: country will be saying the same bloody thing. Look at 2020 01:39:57,412 --> 01:39:59,692 Speaker 22: what China did to Australia over the last ten years 2021 01:39:59,732 --> 01:40:02,492 Speaker 22: with their growin and their wines and everything else. You know, 2022 01:40:02,572 --> 01:40:05,213 Speaker 22: here's five hundred percent tariff here and four hundred percent 2023 01:40:05,253 --> 01:40:09,972 Speaker 22: tariff here, and that eventually they backed off. But China 2024 01:40:10,213 --> 01:40:15,293 Speaker 22: is the problem intertwined with China, you know, in perpetuity. 2025 01:40:15,532 --> 01:40:17,172 Speaker 22: So that's our position. 2026 01:40:17,412 --> 01:40:20,013 Speaker 2: So our last caller said that Trump's a madman and 2027 01:40:20,053 --> 01:40:23,293 Speaker 2: he's flip flopping everywhere. Greg, do you think that he's 2028 01:40:23,933 --> 01:40:26,293 Speaker 2: got a plan? Do you think he's playing three D chess? 2029 01:40:27,933 --> 01:40:30,452 Speaker 22: I don't believe that was a flip flop because within 2030 01:40:30,492 --> 01:40:33,772 Speaker 22: that time period, all of these countries are now wanting 2031 01:40:33,812 --> 01:40:35,572 Speaker 22: to sit down and talk, and he's got three of 2032 01:40:35,572 --> 01:40:38,852 Speaker 22: his senior people that have that have split up and 2033 01:40:38,893 --> 01:40:41,093 Speaker 22: they're going into groups to talk to all of these 2034 01:40:41,133 --> 01:40:43,653 Speaker 22: countries that definitely want to talk to the States. 2035 01:40:44,213 --> 01:40:47,733 Speaker 7: Yeah, it does seem to Japan and the rest. 2036 01:40:47,812 --> 01:40:51,613 Speaker 2: It does to be fair seem very much the playbook 2037 01:40:51,652 --> 01:40:54,133 Speaker 2: from his nineteen eighty seven book The Heart of the Till. 2038 01:40:54,253 --> 01:40:56,852 Speaker 3: There's a big difference between a flip flop and a tactic, 2039 01:40:56,893 --> 01:40:59,532 Speaker 3: and that feels like a tactic and that word. 2040 01:40:59,572 --> 01:41:02,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, But as our previous caller said, you know, depends 2041 01:41:02,452 --> 01:41:04,652 Speaker 2: which way you look at it.

The 2061 01:42:02,452 --> 01:42:06,092 Speaker 6: Foreign Minister has criticized the Prime Minister's moves to combat 2062 01:42:06,173 --> 01:42:10,173 Speaker 6: Donald Trump's tariffs by talk with world leaders on free 2063 01:42:10,213 --> 01:42:14,412 Speaker 6: trade options on the up.

You saw the 2113 01:44:34,293 --> 01:44:36,772 Speaker 3: potential of what Christopher Luxen is trying to do here. 2114 01:44:37,893 --> 01:44:41,452 Speaker 23: Yeah, I think the reality is we're a free trading 2115 01:44:41,532 --> 01:44:43,892 Speaker 23: nation and we have been for a number of years. 2116 01:44:44,372 --> 01:44:47,972 Speaker 23: We've champion free trade agreements and we've wanted to get 2117 01:44:48,013 --> 01:44:52,292 Speaker 23: one with the US for many many years. Now, We've 2118 01:44:53,053 --> 01:44:58,132 Speaker 23: we've got tariffs on US products totally one point eight percent. 2119 01:44:58,933 --> 01:45:03,213 Speaker 23: Now the Trump Trump's people are saying it's we've got 2120 01:45:04,173 --> 01:45:07,533 Speaker 23: us at twenty percent, which is just completely in coherent. 2121 01:45:09,013 --> 01:45:12,772 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's that's an equation based on the 2122 01:45:13,333 --> 01:45:15,973 Speaker 2: you know, the just you know, the what do you 2123 01:45:16,053 --> 01:45:19,612 Speaker 2: call it deficit? Sorry, yeah, that's right now. 2124 01:45:20,173 --> 01:45:23,213 Speaker 23: The trade deficit is what the trade deficit is. You know, 2125 01:45:24,093 --> 01:45:27,732 Speaker 23: the government can't impact the trade deficits. The current government 2126 01:45:27,812 --> 01:45:30,572 Speaker 23: can turn around and say, well, we'll buy more of you, 2127 01:45:30,692 --> 01:45:33,013 Speaker 23: because that's not up to the government to do so. 2128 01:45:33,173 --> 01:45:35,852 Speaker 23: That's up to the importers to make the call about 2129 01:45:35,893 --> 01:45:39,173 Speaker 23: where they want to import. So what's left to negotiate, 2130 01:45:39,893 --> 01:45:42,412 Speaker 23: and I mean with all jurisdic to Winston, I think 2131 01:45:42,452 --> 01:45:47,732 Speaker 23: he's doing a magnificent job. But the reality is, long term, 2132 01:45:48,173 --> 01:45:51,492 Speaker 23: we need to be trading with like minded countries, and 2133 01:45:51,772 --> 01:45:55,412 Speaker 23: unfortunately we can just no longer trust America. 2134 01:45:55,652 --> 01:45:57,253 Speaker 3: Well I get I get a lot of that, Glenn. 2135 01:45:57,333 --> 01:45:59,452 Speaker 3: But the problem I have with this strategy as it's 2136 01:45:59,492 --> 01:46:02,532 Speaker 3: been done in public, shouldn't this be happening behind closed doors? 2137 01:46:02,572 --> 01:46:06,013 Speaker 3: I think we can all agree that any extra strategy 2138 01:46:06,253 --> 01:46:08,213 Speaker 3: or leverage we can get is a good thing, but 2139 01:46:08,372 --> 01:46:12,132 Speaker 3: at this point that should be just with government officials 2140 01:46:12,253 --> 01:46:14,012 Speaker 3: rather than media stand up information. 2141 01:46:15,173 --> 01:46:18,053 Speaker 23: Well didn't we didn't. We were we very public when 2142 01:46:18,093 --> 01:46:20,692 Speaker 23: we went to India and we you know, we were 2143 01:46:21,173 --> 01:46:24,412 Speaker 23: openly looking for a treat free trade deal with India. 2144 01:46:26,173 --> 01:46:29,293 Speaker 2: Well, I guess, I guess what's what's different as the 2145 01:46:29,853 --> 01:46:33,692 Speaker 2: I guess Whence Peters is just call you jets. Briefly, 2146 01:46:33,893 --> 01:46:35,973 Speaker 2: let's just wait till the dust settles before we make 2147 01:46:36,093 --> 01:46:39,892 Speaker 2: any big plays, because we don't want, rightly or wrongly, 2148 01:46:40,612 --> 01:46:43,053 Speaker 2: we don't want Trump to suddenly make an example of 2149 01:46:43,173 --> 01:46:45,012 Speaker 2: US and say, look, there you go, one hundred percent, 2150 01:46:46,532 --> 01:46:49,492 Speaker 2: hundred percent tariffs on new Zealand because they're trying to 2151 01:46:49,572 --> 01:46:51,653 Speaker 2: form this this this free trade. 2152 01:46:53,053 --> 01:46:57,893 Speaker 24: You know, this trading block and just you go fundamentally, 2153 01:46:58,013 --> 01:47:04,253 Speaker 24: So fundamentally, if we if we trade more with other countries, 2154 01:47:05,372 --> 01:47:08,852 Speaker 24: like minded countries, and we trade less with the US, 2155 01:47:09,253 --> 01:47:12,372 Speaker 24: does that automatically fix the balance of trade deficits that 2156 01:47:12,452 --> 01:47:13,412 Speaker 24: we've got with the US. 2157 01:47:13,973 --> 01:47:16,492 Speaker 2: Well, it's really just the purchase of it's so close, 2158 01:47:16,532 --> 01:47:18,852 Speaker 2: it's really the purchase of a plane difference, isn't it 2159 01:47:18,893 --> 01:47:19,412 Speaker 2: at this point. 2160 01:47:20,893 --> 01:47:23,612 Speaker 23: But if you increase the trade with you know, we've 2161 01:47:23,652 --> 01:47:26,572 Speaker 23: only got a limited amount of products South. So if 2162 01:47:26,612 --> 01:47:29,372 Speaker 23: you if you increase the trade with other like minded 2163 01:47:29,492 --> 01:47:33,652 Speaker 23: free trading company country and that as a result of that, 2164 01:47:33,853 --> 01:47:37,133 Speaker 23: you reduce the amount you're trading with the US, then 2165 01:47:37,572 --> 01:47:41,173 Speaker 23: all of a sudden, our trade deficit disappears. He should 2166 01:47:41,173 --> 01:47:41,973 Speaker 23: be thanking us. 2167 01:47:43,933 --> 01:47:46,372 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, Yeah, I will thank you so much for 2168 01:47:46,412 --> 01:47:47,572 Speaker 3: you coodling. 2169 01:47:48,093 --> 01:47:51,092 Speaker 2: I mean, they are currently our second biggest trading partner, 2170 01:47:51,572 --> 01:47:56,413 Speaker 2: is all, and that would be a pretty pretty intense 2171 01:47:56,893 --> 01:48:01,333 Speaker 2: smack in the face if suddenly red meat was one 2172 01:48:01,412 --> 01:48:05,293 Speaker 2: hundred percent tariffs were just slammed on our meat that's 2173 01:48:05,293 --> 01:48:07,253 Speaker 2: currently going into a lot of burgers over there. 2174 01:48:07,173 --> 01:48:10,052 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And just in terms of the international pickup 2175 01:48:10,093 --> 01:48:12,293 Speaker 3: of what our Prime minister said, I'm just having a 2176 01:48:12,333 --> 01:48:13,892 Speaker 3: look at the new sites now. It's been picked up 2177 01:48:13,893 --> 01:48:16,173 Speaker 3: by Bloomberg, it's been picked up by Reuters, it's been 2178 01:48:16,213 --> 01:48:18,492 Speaker 3: picked up by CNN. So there's no doubt about it 2179 01:48:18,572 --> 01:48:20,772 Speaker 3: that information will get back to the White House. Whether 2180 01:48:20,812 --> 01:48:22,532 Speaker 3: that's a good thing or not, I suppose we'll wait 2181 01:48:22,572 --> 01:48:25,012 Speaker 3: and see. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 2182 01:48:25,053 --> 01:48:26,892 Speaker 3: to court. It is seventeen to four. 2183 01:48:27,853 --> 01:48:29,452 Speaker 2: A fresh take on took Back. 2184 01:48:29,652 --> 01:48:33,213 Speaker 1: It's Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams. Afternoons have your say on 2185 01:48:33,532 --> 01:48:36,692 Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty ten eighty US talk then be good. 2186 01:48:36,772 --> 01:48:40,732 Speaker 3: Afternoon. It is fourteen to four and we are talking 2187 01:48:40,772 --> 01:48:43,972 Speaker 3: about Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister. He's speaking out 2188 01:48:44,053 --> 01:48:48,372 Speaker 3: against Christopher Lux's plans to potentially or try and combat 2189 01:48:48,532 --> 01:48:53,013 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's tariffs. So the Christopher Luction's plans involved a 2190 01:48:53,253 --> 01:48:55,572 Speaker 3: move to form a free trading block of Asia, Pacific 2191 01:48:55,612 --> 01:48:58,612 Speaker 3: and EU countries to collectively push back, and he spoke 2192 01:48:58,692 --> 01:49:00,172 Speaker 3: to some of those world leaders this afternoon. 2193 01:49:00,293 --> 01:49:03,053 Speaker 2: Has he actually said that though that he is trying 2194 01:49:03,093 --> 01:49:05,173 Speaker 2: to form a free trading block because in the audio 2195 01:49:05,253 --> 01:49:06,812 Speaker 2: that we played before, all he said was that he 2196 01:49:06,933 --> 01:49:09,692 Speaker 2: was going to reach out for catch up. But it 2197 01:49:09,772 --> 01:49:14,133 Speaker 2: has made CNN and Bloomfield. Yep, almost immediately, hasn't it. Tyler? 2198 01:49:14,213 --> 01:49:16,572 Speaker 3: So the two headlines I'm looking at the moment from 2199 01:49:16,652 --> 01:49:19,333 Speaker 3: Reuter's New Zealand Australia speak to other countries on butt 2200 01:49:19,893 --> 01:49:23,012 Speaker 3: racine free trade and Bloomberg New Zealand proposess rule based 2201 01:49:23,053 --> 01:49:27,732 Speaker 3: trading block to counter tariffs, and CNN is the similar 2202 01:49:27,772 --> 01:49:28,612 Speaker 3: headline to Bloomberg. 2203 01:49:28,772 --> 01:49:30,652 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're getting both sides of this here. Trump 2204 01:49:30,812 --> 01:49:33,652 Speaker 2: is brilliant. He's played the whole world for his entire country. 2205 01:49:33,853 --> 01:49:36,732 Speaker 2: We're all watching in awe. This text to says, anyone 2206 01:49:36,732 --> 01:49:39,732 Speaker 2: who thinks Trump is a strategist clearly hasn't watched the 2207 01:49:39,812 --> 01:49:42,572 Speaker 2: man speak. If it walks, talks and looks like a moron, 2208 01:49:42,772 --> 01:49:45,412 Speaker 2: it is a moron. The fact that his strategy is 2209 01:49:45,452 --> 01:49:48,532 Speaker 2: working is purely coincidental. 2210 01:49:49,173 --> 01:49:52,532 Speaker 3: Okay, thank you very much, Aaron. How are you this afternoon? 2211 01:49:54,492 --> 01:49:54,812 Speaker 8: How are you? 2212 01:49:55,412 --> 01:49:55,612 Speaker 15: Yeah? 2213 01:49:55,652 --> 01:50:05,293 Speaker 8: Good goodness, hilarious listening to you. So I'm hearing skepticism 2214 01:50:05,293 --> 01:50:11,772 Speaker 8: in your voice, and Mattie and I think you're right 2215 01:50:12,093 --> 01:50:14,532 Speaker 8: I'm calling the yes on that headline. I'm going to 2216 01:50:14,812 --> 01:50:17,372 Speaker 8: call it now at whatever time it is three forty 2217 01:50:17,412 --> 01:50:21,532 Speaker 8: seven in the afternoon market, because I think what has 2218 01:50:21,612 --> 01:50:25,013 Speaker 8: happened because you have not played audio onto the Prime 2219 01:50:25,053 --> 01:50:28,052 Speaker 8: Minister saying what the headlines claiming, and I think what's 2220 01:50:28,093 --> 01:50:31,692 Speaker 8: happened as a reporter somewhere, probably quite less leaning, has 2221 01:50:32,412 --> 01:50:36,133 Speaker 8: extrapolated out his conversation turns it into saying it's not 2222 01:50:36,333 --> 01:50:39,532 Speaker 8: then other world media have gone or someone's criticizing Trump. 2223 01:50:39,652 --> 01:50:42,092 Speaker 8: It's a world leader will brand that it's a headline 2224 01:50:42,293 --> 01:50:43,893 Speaker 8: because you look at the ones that have run it 2225 01:50:44,013 --> 01:50:46,213 Speaker 8: are quite anti Trump, so of course they're going to 2226 01:50:46,293 --> 01:50:47,012 Speaker 8: run that headline. 2227 01:50:48,093 --> 01:50:50,093 Speaker 23: And so that's that's my call on it. 2228 01:50:50,612 --> 01:50:51,772 Speaker 8: That's where it's at right now. 2229 01:50:51,933 --> 01:50:53,972 Speaker 3: It's a fair quote. Yeah, it's a fair call, Aaron. 2230 01:50:54,013 --> 01:50:59,572 Speaker 3: I've just found a direct quote here, so and this 2231 01:50:59,772 --> 01:51:02,013 Speaker 3: is how it's been written, so you can take, you know, 2232 01:51:02,173 --> 01:51:03,972 Speaker 3: a little bit of it with a grain of salt. 2233 01:51:04,013 --> 01:51:06,652 Speaker 3: But Luxeon said he would be testing what leaders and 2234 01:51:06,772 --> 01:51:09,572 Speaker 3: this is the quote quote here directques can do together 2235 01:51:09,732 --> 01:51:13,053 Speaker 3: to butterer us the rules based trading system. So he 2236 01:51:13,213 --> 01:51:16,213 Speaker 3: told those gathered at the event, can what we can 2237 01:51:16,333 --> 01:51:18,972 Speaker 3: do together to buttress the rules based trading system. 2238 01:51:19,133 --> 01:51:21,972 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite different from forming a free trading block 2239 01:51:22,133 --> 01:51:25,053 Speaker 2: of Asia, Pacific and EU countries to collectively push back. 2240 01:51:25,093 --> 01:51:27,372 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair that they're slightly different things. 2241 01:51:29,053 --> 01:51:30,812 Speaker 8: It's kind of like a scene out of Star Wars 2242 01:51:30,893 --> 01:51:37,532 Speaker 8: when they're forming trade blocks that hearing similar language. Yeah, 2243 01:51:37,732 --> 01:51:40,572 Speaker 8: so I think Winston's here, we just ride this out. 2244 01:51:40,652 --> 01:51:43,293 Speaker 8: New Zealand's not in a bad position in the whole deal. Yeah, 2245 01:51:43,333 --> 01:51:46,572 Speaker 8: because we've got the lowest tariff. Most of our trading 2246 01:51:46,692 --> 01:51:50,772 Speaker 8: opposition overseas as higher tariff, So of course we're going 2247 01:51:50,812 --> 01:51:53,892 Speaker 8: to do better out of this. So I don't see 2248 01:51:54,452 --> 01:51:57,013 Speaker 8: the drama. And as far as the reset goes, the 2249 01:51:57,093 --> 01:52:01,053 Speaker 8: world absolutely needs a reset and the because you know, 2250 01:52:01,452 --> 01:52:03,772 Speaker 8: you haven't got the same company spacy rules and China 2251 01:52:03,772 --> 01:52:06,372 Speaker 8: you've got the same environmental rules. So it's an uneven 2252 01:52:06,452 --> 01:52:09,852 Speaker 8: playing field for manufacturer in most countries of the world 2253 01:52:10,133 --> 01:52:13,652 Speaker 8: that's played by the rules. And then there's argument. So 2254 01:52:13,812 --> 01:52:15,852 Speaker 8: there's many reasons why this needed to happen. 2255 01:52:17,173 --> 01:52:18,492 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for you call eron. 2256 01:52:18,612 --> 01:52:22,772 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just trying to find more information. We've tried 2257 01:52:22,812 --> 01:52:26,933 Speaker 3: to find that audio and difficult to track down. He 2258 01:52:27,053 --> 01:52:29,173 Speaker 3: did speak to the country, I believe yesterday in a 2259 01:52:29,253 --> 01:52:32,052 Speaker 3: similar vein, but you're right, and the language is important, 2260 01:52:32,293 --> 01:52:34,812 Speaker 3: and if he didn't after the words trading block, then 2261 01:52:34,853 --> 01:52:38,333 Speaker 3: that is very different from having conversations about what may happen, 2262 01:52:39,253 --> 01:52:40,052 Speaker 3: you know, down the track. 2263 01:52:40,133 --> 01:52:42,333 Speaker 2: What I've heard from Crystal Eluction on interviews on this 2264 01:52:42,973 --> 01:52:47,333 Speaker 2: radio station has been a full throated endorsement for free 2265 01:52:47,572 --> 01:52:51,732 Speaker 2: free trade and making it clear that he disagrees with tariffs, 2266 01:52:51,812 --> 01:52:54,333 Speaker 2: which is a position that New Zealand saild for a 2267 01:52:54,412 --> 01:52:57,293 Speaker 2: very long time. And christ flux and differently differently holds. 2268 01:52:57,492 --> 01:52:57,692 Speaker 15: Yeah. 2269 01:52:58,612 --> 01:53:02,933 Speaker 3: The latest tweet that Christopher Luxeon has just put on 2270 01:53:03,253 --> 01:53:05,333 Speaker 3: X and I'll read this. This was posted at three 2271 01:53:05,492 --> 01:53:08,612 Speaker 3: forty six pm this afternoon, so minutes ago. This is 2272 01:53:08,652 --> 01:53:11,652 Speaker 3: breaking news, and he says, I've just spoken with Malaysia's 2273 01:53:11,652 --> 01:53:13,892 Speaker 3: Prime minister.
