1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge new 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City, 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: New Zealand's Furniture Vans and a play at store ustorgs. 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, welcome to your Friday morning. It 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: is six half to five for coming up our lead 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: in view before six Ginny Anderson's foaming at the mouth 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: about this police recruitment target potentially not being met. But 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: what do the cops actually think about it? Vincent mcaviniy 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: is UK Europe today, Andrew Ellison is in Wellington, the 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: Black Cats versus England and Fonterra prophet down, but forecasts 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: for farm gate prices up. Will look at that just 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: before well actually we'll look at that in about ten 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: minutes time the agenda and it is Friday, sixth of December. 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: Looking at this killing, very public killing of the CEO 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: of United Healthcare in New York City. The murderer still 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: has not been identified, and the bullets that we used 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: to kill him apparently had the words deny, defend and 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: depose written on them. 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: Add to seeing we recover three live nine milimeters rounds 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 3: and three discharged nine milimeters shell casings. 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: The murder. For this murder currently is ann Apparently, his 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 2: wife said he had received death threats before he was killed, 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: and this happened a day before an investor meeting. Bitcoin's 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: surge is continuing, hitting a record one hundred thousand US 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: dollars for the first time. This is a forty percent 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: increase in value, so good on you if you bought 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: it after Trump came to power, forty percent increase in 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: value since he got in. It's risen four point three 29 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: percent just today overnight. Trump's election obviously a big signal 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: for this. The US, the crypto capital of the world, 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: is what he described as in the future. One analyst, though, 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: last week, said beware, is it actually a widely used 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: and usable product or is this just hype with bitcoin? 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: And who uses it? Drug dealers, terrorists, criminals, not US. 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: Syrian troops are withdrawing from Hamma as rebel forces surround 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: the city. Last week they captured Aleppo that continue to 37 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: make gain since then. This is a significant development because 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: it is on the road to Damascus. The main rebel. 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 4: Faction is an Islamist fundamentalist group, an offshoot of a 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 4: successor of Al Qaeda, but Turkey has been backing some 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: of these rebel groups for years, and that's one of 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: the reasons why these rebel groups have been successful. The 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 4: other reason is because Russia is partly overstretched by its 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 4: war in Ukraine. 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: We have a meeting taking place between our foreign and 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: defense ministers this New Zealand and Australia held in Auckland today. 47 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: Discussions will include how we can partner to respond to 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: growing instability and the Endo Pacific and we all know 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: what that is code for, at least in Judith Colin size, 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: and that is China firing a missile into the Pacific. 51 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 5: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you twenty twenty 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 5: four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture 53 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 5: beds and a playing store, youth talks. 54 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: It'd be story of the morning for your Friday. I 55 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: we'll get to it a little later on. But it's 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: this Italian nun who's been arrested for links to the mafia. Yes, 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: holy hell right now though the big capacity. This is 58 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: another thing that's come out of Scrutiny Week, which by 59 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: the way, is turning out to be quite a productive 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: use of Parliament's time. Would we say, I think so? Anyway, 61 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: I think we've got a lot out of it. What 62 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: a great idea. So the big capacity this is that 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: our prisons across the country is projected to run out. 64 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: So in other words, we won't have any beds for 65 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: prisoners in twenty twenty seven. That is the best case scenario. 66 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: The worst June next year. I know, maybe we should 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: start a billeting system, you know, where if the prisons 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: are full and the because the police are doing a 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 2: good job, they're going out and arresting the gangs, et cetera, 70 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: blah blah, just you know, let them at your house. 71 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: Apparently we will be saved, hopefully. And this is fingers 72 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: crossed by Waikerdia. There's an expansion project going on there. 73 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: Phase one is due to be completed by the middle 74 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: of next year. Now, due to be completed does not 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: mean it will be completed. And we've all seen what's 76 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: happening with infrastructure projects in this country, right, So fingers crossed, everybody, 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 2: Good luck everybody. How did we get here? Is the 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: interesting part of this from these scrutiny week the Corrections 79 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: boss says, because there was a reduction in the prison 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: population some you know, under the last government. Some facilities 81 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: were basically empty, they were taken out of use, and 82 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: now they need to be updated. They need to be 83 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: upgraded in order that prisoners can go back into them. 84 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: And then of course you need to think about staffing 85 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: those prisons, those locations as well. So that is how 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: we got here, and hopefully it won't you know, we 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: won't end up with a prisoner at your place. 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: Ryan Bridge. 89 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: After five, it is your Friday morning. Also today happening 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: actually in a few hours, Emmanuel Maholm is going to 91 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 2: address the French people. I'll run you through when we 92 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: get back. How we got here, how they got here. 93 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: Quite a mess there. 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 5: In News and Views you trust to start your day, 95 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 5: it's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New 96 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 5: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store. 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: News talk said, be on bitcoin. Somebody says my elderly 98 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: sister uses bitcoin to buy groceries and in Vicargo, is 99 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: it a joke or can you actually do that? I'm 100 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: I would like to know. Another says in on Waikittya. 101 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: This is the prison numbers. Apparently we're going to run 102 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: out of beds by the middle of next year. Waikya 103 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: is three years behind time, and it's the same company 104 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 2: that built Transmission Gully. I'm picking twenty twenty six, fourteen 105 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: after five Ryan Bridge Bontira has lifted its forecast farm 106 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: eight milk prices too, between nine to fifty to ten 107 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: dollars fifty. The dairy cooperative says it's seeing increasing demand 108 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: from China and Southeast Asia. The move comes despite profits 109 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: falling from three hundred and forty six million to two 110 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty three million. That's a thirty percent reduction 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: on the same time last year. That's for quarter one. 112 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Matt Montgomery is the Forsyth Bars senior analyst. Equities is 113 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: with us this morning. Matt, good morning, Good morning Ryan, 114 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: thanks having me had good great result about the well 115 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: if the result materializes about the forecast farm gate milk. 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 6: Prices, Yeah, no, indeed, I think if you look at 117 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 6: recent Glowood dry trade doctions have been strong and ten 118 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 6: dollars would be a record high if you look at 119 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 6: the midpoint in nominal terms. The previous high was nine 120 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 6: dollars thirty back in two So yeah, father. 121 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: How high? How much high could it potentially go? I 122 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: mean I'm reading that this is all about China, in 123 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: particular stockpiling ahead of Christmas learning New Year? Is it 124 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: the does it taper OFFXT year? 125 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I'm reluctant to forecast that, I must say. 126 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 6: I mean commodity places are inherently qualatile, but the China 127 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 6: demand has been fluggish for some time, so there's pleasing 128 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 6: could least see that they're returning. 129 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 7: In some ways. 130 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: What about the profit for a quarter one miles houses 131 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: that was a strong result despite the thirty percent reduction. 132 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 6: Yeah. I think for Frottierra, you've got to consider that 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 6: when milk prices are high like they are, and that 134 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 6: often tends to mean that margins and their consumer and 135 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 6: food service businesses are slightly well good in their inability 136 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 6: to pass the higher prices on. So they reiterated their 137 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 6: full year earnings guidance yesterday for forty to sixty cents 138 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 6: this year. So I think that's the important thing to 139 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 6: consider where that that's exactly what they had been signaling 140 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 6: back in September when they reported their results, So it 141 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 6: shouldn't be any major surprises to to invest it all funners. 142 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: They're also a business and transition, which is another thing 143 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: that Harrell spoke about you spoke about yesterday. 144 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, there's there's been a lot of change in 145 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 6: the corp for a number of years now. So Darla 146 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 6: wouldn't say that it's reflective of thirty percent client. It's 147 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 6: more affliction of Haylo's. This is a volatile business and 148 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 6: it's thank move around prices and their last year was 149 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 6: a very good year as well. I think that's important 150 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 6: to consider too. 151 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: Matt, thank you very much for that analysis. Really appreciated 152 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: this morning. Matt Montgomery for sith Bast Senior Analyst, Equities. 153 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: It is seventeen after five US Talk sed. 154 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 5: B Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early 155 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 5: edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture, Beds and a 156 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: playing Store. 157 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: News Talks b nineteen after five on news Talk said, 158 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: so the French president Emmanuel Macron is going to address 159 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: the public in a couple of hours time. He has 160 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: to pick a new prime minister. Varna is see your 161 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: later mate, he's gone. Well, actually he's still there running 162 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: day to day issues, but he's basically gone. And then 163 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: they're basically back to square one. You know, let's not 164 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: forget and people are saying you need to pick a 165 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: new Prime minister quickly, but he should probably take just 166 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: a little bit more time, seen as how much they've 167 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: wasted already, you know, and get it right, because remember 168 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: it was Macron who called the snap election that led 169 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: to the hung parliament, that led to bargner, that led 170 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: to the budget bust up, that led to the collapse 171 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: of the government. And now they are back at square 172 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: one basically when we watched the Olympics.

Good morning, greetings, Ryan, 179 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: good to have you, Good to hear from you. Nice 180 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: to have you in the Capitol for us this morning. 181 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: So they've kept the faith with this team that lost 182 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: in christ Church. Have they made the right call? Do 183 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: you reckon? 184 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: I think by a large yes. I mean I'm looking 185 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 3: at that pitch yesterday. It's going to be green and 186 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 3: seam options will come to the foe pretty early. I 187 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: would have thought if New Zealander's able to when the 188 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: task I think of Edisie wins a task, they're likely 189 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: to fields first and to make the best of those 190 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: bowling conditions. Just having a look looking back when there's 191 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: some talk you could have maybe used a spinner and 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: that's why Mitchell Sander was brought into the squad or 193 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 3: you know, the specialist spur of content Philips. They're all 194 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 3: ready but just looking there's been one first class game 195 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: there this season. Three wickets of the forty that we're 196 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 3: taken with to spin, not a whole lot. There was 197 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: an argument last season in said bry Becaus Nathan Line, 198 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: the Australian has been a top ten for the match, 199 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: that maybe they should introduce that option war but he's 200 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: inn sticking with the tribe that the key thing right 201 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: has been the catching and if the catchers has been 202 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: taken the first thing some christ, she could have been 203 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: a whole a lot different the situation he's in out 204 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: there practicing that catching. At Linked yesterday sort of players 205 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: lined up along the fence with Jacob Warren, the assistant 206 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: coach delivering the big hits and also Gary Stead feeding 207 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 3: the slip cording with the plumb trying to sharpen that up. 208 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: But it didn't look to be going very well from 209 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: what I saw, from what I saw on the news. 210 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 8: Andrew Yes, it's a sort of a scenario of yet 211 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 8: you have the tricky rehearsal if you like, before the 212 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 8: main events in theater they say break the. 213 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: Leg going like that anyway, We'll see how that goes. 214 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: But he's in the traditionally an excellent fielding site, so 215 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: that was one that was expect good with that performance. 216 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: Eight drop catches and the editings which really in five 217 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: in Harry Brooks innings alone, which really cost them the game. 218 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: They are both out to both teams now out of 219 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: the World Test Championship running. Does that mean that they'll 220 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: be a bit looser, Yeah, it could be. 221 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: I mean he's given me crucially losing those points to 222 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 3: to the lack of overs in the day, to the 223 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: slow over rates, and there's been some dispute over that 224 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: where you get a lot more seamovers in the likes 225 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 3: and you get on in the Australian versus that the 226 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: spitting on the subcontinent. But yeah, I think you could 227 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: see a bit more. The prevare to throw causing to 228 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 3: the wind in that regard perhaps, But then again, most 229 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: teams then playing for results these days, by large's very 230 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: few draws, and particularly where this English side is involved, 231 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: and the likelihood is that you'll end up with a 232 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: match that's prince less than five days anyway, given the 233 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: tempo that they play at the. 234 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: Visitors Andrew, thank you, look forward to hearing you later 235 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: this morning. Appreciate your time in getting up early for us. 236 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: Andrew Ortison, zeb's cricket correspondent. It is twenty three minutes 237 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: half to five. You're on News TALKSB the. 238 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 5: Early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 239 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 5: News TALKSB twenty. 240 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: Five after five on News Talk BB. So it looks 241 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: like looks like police will miss the deadline of adding 242 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: five hundred extra sawn officers. What we were promised should 243 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 2: take two years will now in fact more likely according 244 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 2: to the top Brassit scrutiny week in Parliament this week 245 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: take two and a half years, So an extra six months. 246 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: Will anyone really care? Probably not? Should we care? Well? 247 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: When there are more bad guys out there doing bad things. 248 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: We should always care about how many good guys and 249 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 2: girls we have out there countering that. But on this 250 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 2: particular point of missing a target by one hundred and 251 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: eighty odd days, not really why. One. The target was 252 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: always described as highly ambitious, and that should be a 253 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: clue from a politician too. They may still make the deadline. 254 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: I mean that has not been discount at this point 255 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: and they are working hard to do that. Three. It 256 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: was only a target because it was included in a 257 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: coalition agreement with New Zealand. First, and clearly, if you 258 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: follow the public comments of Mark Mitchell through the past year, 259 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: even National has been skeptical about the timing of it. 260 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: And most importantly, not hitting five hundred by November next 261 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: year doesn't mean that we'll have zero extra cops on 262 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: the beat by that date. It means we'll probably have 263 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: a few hundred extra, with more coming in mid twenty 264 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: twenty six. The most reassuring thing about this whole debarcle 265 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: were the words from the new Commissioner, Richard Chambers yesterday, 266 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: who said, we are not going to compromise. So if 267 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: it takes us a little bit of time to produce 268 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: the best quality officers. Then we'll take that and he 269 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: is right, of course, of course he's right, because we 270 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: need five hundred good cops, five hundred great cops, five 271 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: hundred excellent cops, well trained and well resourced, not five 272 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: hundred average cops. Brian Bridge, seven minutes after five on 273 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: news Talks. He'd be great to have your company. We 274 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: are going to speak to the Police Association about that, 275 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: coming up just before six this morning. That's our lead. Also, 276 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: we're going to go to the UK. Vincent mcavinie is 277 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: our UK europe correspondent. He'll talk obviously about Macron and 278 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: his speech and how the hell he's going to pick 279 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: a new prime minister and what that might look like, 280 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: but also Romania. And what's interesting here is they've had 281 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: an election where Russia cyber attacks have been and that's 282 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: no surprise, but they've been using TikTok so the Russians 283 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: going through the Chinese platform to get to the Romanians. 284 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: He'll break that down for us a little later on 285 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: as well. Now, this is the fun story for today, 286 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: this well, at least I think so. This is the 287 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: nun holy hell, good lord, what is happening in a 288 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: prison in Italy and none has been arrested for her 289 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: links to the mafia. She was among twenty five people 290 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: that were arrested over the last couple of days. She 291 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: was apparently a go but between the criminal gangs on 292 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: the inside and the criminal gangs on the outside, and 293 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: she was caught up in a range of well, I 294 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: suppose a raft of arrests over the last couple of 295 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: days to do with establishment figures. There was a counselor 296 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: in Georgia Maloney's party. There was a former politician also 297 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: caught up in this, and they were accused of crimes 298 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: like extortion, arms and drugs, traffick like the worst you 299 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: could think of, money laundering, all that kind of stuff, 300 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: even vote buying. Some of them were hit with anyway, 301 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: and among the twenty five is none the nice, sweet 302 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: old nun. And the investigators said this is the best 303 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: part of the story. Investigators said her quote spiritual role 304 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: ensured connection with the prisoners and allowed her to have 305 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: free access to the penitentiary facilities. So she just if 306 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: you're a nun, you just what you've got your own 307 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: keys to the kingdom in the prison. Apparently N nine 308 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: two is the number to text I would love to 309 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: hear from you this morning.

Has he potentially done it already? Also, 322 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: the Police Association on the targets not being met, the 323 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 2: extra five hundred cops that we need on the beat. 324 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: How they feeling about it? We'll ask them just before 325 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: six this morning. Mosquitos, if you're like me, you're one 326 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: of those people getting bitten a lot at the moment 327 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: and it's only going to get worse. Apparently it's one 328 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 2: of those years where there are lots of mosquitoes around 329 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 2: and there's an article that's sort of busting all the 330 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: myths around mosquitos, because there are a lot out there. 331 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: The gross part and if you are eating your breakfast, 332 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: maybe to stop for a second because this is quite 333 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: disgusting to think about. But it describes. This is an 334 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: article from the City Morning Herald describes what is happening 335 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 2: when a mosquito is biting you. They're female mosquito seeking 336 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: out a blood meal when they're ready to lay eggs. 337 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: First of all, that's disgusting. Using an arsenal of six 338 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: needles to saw into the skin, they inject an anti 339 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: clotting saliva. They then guzzle your blood, excreek the water, 340 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: harvest the protein to nourish their eggs, and off they go. 341 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: Disgusting anyway, if you want to avoid it, here are 342 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 2: some lies. Vitamin B patches don't work, Vegimite not a thing, 343 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: eating garlic not a thing.

It's been demolished, it's been designed. 396 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 11: Brilliant, that's right, a very recognizable Wellington landmark, a massive 397 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 11: structure that connects the waterfront and Civic Square. But it's 398 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 11: a quake risk and it would take eighty five million 399 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 11: dollars to repair. Bit of a no brainer for the 400 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 11: City Council to vote to demolish it. Coming in its 401 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 11: place likely a rather uninspiring option of a large pedestrian crossing. 402 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 11: A few people did try to save it at yesterday's meeting, 403 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 11: but it was pretty consensus that. 404 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 2: It needs to go as the City of Sea Bridge. 405 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 11: If you've ever seen it or walked over it, or 406 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 11: huddled in one of its alcoves out of the wind 407 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 11: for a smoke or a chat. It's also a series 408 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 11: of timber artworks. Narrow Footbridges. I funnily enough, picked up 409 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 11: an old friend from the airport yesterday we passed pasted 410 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 11: long jervis Key. He said the bridge was one of 411 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 11: his favorite parts of Wellington, but unfortunately for him, it's 412 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 11: just not built for this world. 413 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: No well and also that's an indictment on Wellington. Hey, 414 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: how's your weather in the capital today? 415 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 7: Max? 416 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 11: Yeah, not bad for the first day of the test. 417 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 11: Should be vain bit of morning clouds. Southerly's bringing a 418 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 11: little cooler temperature at seventeen the high in the city. 419 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 2: Brilliant.

Do you know how much I 430 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: think it was going to cost one hundred and twenty 431 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: million dollars to reinforce that bridge. It's just a footbridge. 432 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 12: It is a footbridge. And I've never seen anyone on there. 433 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 12: I mean, not that I go down there all the time, 434 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 12: but every time I look up and gaze at it, 435 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 12: it's always you. 436 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 2: Know, it's always used on the weekends normally. But yeah, 437 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: it's a very expensive for sure, replace which is why 438 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: they're getting rid of it. Anyway. In Auckland, the recognition 439 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 2: for the bravery of those during the Newland supermarket attack. 440 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 12: Yes, now the bravery awards are round and Steve Brody 441 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 12: he's one of those being recognized. And as you say, 442 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 12: in that twenty twenty one new Land supermarket attack, so 443 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 12: he and staff members they barricaded doors of a room 444 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 12: that people were hiding, and apparently Brody pushed against the 445 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 12: doors and this was as the offender, you know, partially 446 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 12: opened him and swung a knife at him. So Steve 447 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 12: Brody said, look, prior to the attack, he'd read a 448 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 12: Bible verse about fearing no evil, and throughout the ordeal 449 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 12: he had peace and no fear. So good on him. 450 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 12: I mean, I often think what would I be like 451 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 12: in a situation like that.

They're 505 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 13: sort of debt to GDP ratio. They now have more 506 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 13: debt than their annual GDP, breaking several EU rules on this, 507 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 13: and so Michelle Barnier was trying to bring in a 508 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 13: budget which would start to address this and it was 509 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 13: rejected by the House. So it's causing real problems for 510 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 13: President Macroll. Questions whether or not he can survive to 511 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 13: the end of his term in twenty twenty seven because 512 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 13: he doesn't have a prime minister and he doesn't have 513 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 13: a government at the moment, they can't have fresh parliamentary 514 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 13: elections until next summer, so real questions over his position tonight. 515 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, just madness really when you think about it, when 516 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 2: we watch the Olympics. So basically back to the States, 517 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: you know, no government, no prime minister, and no budget passed. 518 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: Romania has revealed it's been hit with an election in 519 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: experience very quickly involves TikTok. 520 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 13: Yeah, unsurprisingly it seems to be coming from Russia, a 521 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 13: sort of cyber attacks and then trying to influence on 522 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 13: TikTok that's been ahead of their presidential elections this weekend, 523 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 13: where a far right NATO skeptic candidate who has praised 524 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 13: Putin before and has said he will end all aid 525 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 13: and assistance to Ukraine. So no wonder Vladimir Putin wants 526 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 13: to maybe try and help this guy into office. 527 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: This is Klin Giorgescu. 528 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 13: He is now a running and the Romanian government and 529 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 13: intelligence sources are saying that there has been a lot 530 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 13: of paid support for this candidate on TikTok using the 531 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 13: algorithm and also cyber attacks to try and benefit him 532 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 13: as well. So it seems like the usual hybrid warfare 533 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 13: tactics from Russia against Europe. 534 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: Vincent, thank you for that. Vincent mcavini are UK and 535 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: Europe correspondent. It is ten away from six. 536 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 5: Ryan Bridge police. 537 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: Officials are warning that they might not be able to 538 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: make the government's election promise to train five hundred new 539 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: officers by the two year deadline, which is No. Twenty 540 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: seventh next year. The Police Commissioner, Richard Chambers told parliaments 541 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: Justice Select Committee he's refusing to lower the quality of 542 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: training just to meet the target. Chris Carhill is the 543 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 2: Police Association Prison he's with us this morning. Chris, good morning, 544 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. How do you feel that? To me, 545 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: sounds like a reasonable response. I won't do this, rush 546 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: this and get just any cop on the beat. 547 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, at least he's been honest for a change. 548 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 7: We've always said it's going to be an incredibly big ask. 549 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 7: We didn't think they could do it. You need to 550 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 7: recruit five hundred officers a year just to maintain the 551 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 7: status quoe, just to deal with the numbers that are leading. 552 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,719 Speaker 7: So this was going to require seven hundred and fifty 553 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 7: a year to get to that level. We said we 554 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 7: couldn't do it. Police said during especially during pay round negotiations, 555 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 7: they could. And so at least he's been honest and 556 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 7: we certainly agree you shouldn't lower the standards. 557 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: Does it matter if they miss it by six months? 558 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 7: It does effect in that they've already moved staff into 559 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 7: new roles such as the beat staff New Zealand, and they've 560 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 7: had to come from other roles that now aren't getting done. 561 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 7: So it does hurt other parts of policing. But I'd 562 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 7: still rather wait for six months they get low standard 563 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 7: and recruits, yeah, yeah, longer in consequences. 564 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: Exactly and undermine all cops, you know what I mean. 565 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: Some funding apparently has gone to that was meant to 566 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: go to the recruitment has gone towards the York and 567 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: Central station. Do you know anything about that? 568 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 7: Well, not one. It shouldn't because one should be recruits. 569 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 7: That's personnal budget. Now there should be capital expenditure. So 570 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 7: we're disappointing that that has happened. But if they have 571 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 7: funded some of the new roles so that they could 572 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 7: backfl some of the others, that would be valuable, but 573 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 7: there's a lot of issues with money in police and building, 574 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 7: so I think it's going to take a lot more 575 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 7: than just a few recruits to fund the building problems 576 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 7: in New Zealand. Police. 577 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: Chris, thank you very much for your time. I always appreciated. 578 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: Chris can't help Police Association President on News that the government, well, 579 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: they may still meet the deadline. Police they say they 580 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 2: are going helpful leather to try and do that, but 581 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: there is a probably more substantial chance they will miss 582 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: it by at least six months. It is eight away 583 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: from six News Talks. 584 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 5: He b the first Word on the News of the 585 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 5: Day early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New 586 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 5: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing Store New TALKSB. 587 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: Sticks away from Sex on News Talks thet B.

Luxon 623 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 14: based on the fact he's the country music fan.
