Apparently that is a 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 7: live issue. We're also talking to the Prime Minister after 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 7: seven thirty this morning, company liquidations on the agenda, Catherine 28 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 7: Field and France and Rod Little in the UK brech 29 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 7: eight after six News talks.

It's 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 7: basically saying they've looked at two million people. It is 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 7: the wonder drug that it says it is. It does 37 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 7: what it says on the label. It will help people 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 7: shed loads of weight and the net benefit is basically 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 7: worth it. Have you ever wondered how we got so fat? 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 7: We are massive, and I'm not just talking about New Zealand. 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 7: I'm talking about most of the western world. We are 42 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 7: bulging at the seams. If you've been to the mall 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 7: lately you would have seen this. Everywhere. We're buying five 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 7: xl jeens and tense sized T shirts. We're a funny 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 7: little species, aren't we. We get rid of poverty and 46 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 7: we start gorging ourselves to death. Literally, for the first 47 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 7: time in modern history, life expectancy in the developed world 48 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 7: is going backwards. Now, there are some people with medical conditions, 49 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 7: they've got thyroid issues, taking certain medications, who can't help 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 7: their weight. But for the vast majority of us who've 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 7: ballooned in size over the past forty odd years, what 52 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 7: is the excuse exactly? It's not evil fast food giants. 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 7: It's self control. We're through self control in the bin. 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 7: We banished it as a concept, and we blamed everybody 55 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 7: but ourselves. And now, instead of relearning that long forgotten art, 56 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 7: we have a magic injection. While ah a zimpac will 57 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 7: solve all of our problems, and maybe, given the starter 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 7: out today, it actually will. Everyone wants a quick fix. 59 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 7: Everything has to happen. Now, you've got your uber eates 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 7: coming in five minutes. Where is it? The world is 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 7: a click away, You've got instant gratification at the skull 62 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 7: of a thumb. Is everything so easy in life? And 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 7: should it be? 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 9: If? 65 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 7: How will we learn? How will we evolve? How will 66 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 7: we advance as a species. If it is, I suppose 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 7: you could argue the fact that we've created such a 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 7: revolutionary weight loss druggers proof we are advancing, But creating 69 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 7: a drug to fix an obesity problem that we also 70 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 7: created hardly seems advanced. And in the long run, the quick, 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 7: easy solution isn't always the best one. 72 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 9: Is it? 73 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: News of the world in ninety seconds. 74 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 7: As we've been saying, the big day has arrived.

And 117 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 7: you have to ask the question for what what are 118 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 7: they being part and preemptively pardoned for? What Henu's crimes 119 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 7: have they committed.

Donald Trump 130 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 7: is returned to the White House and he is apparently 131 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 7: going to be sending troops to the border with Mexico 132 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 7: to help start building and constructing a wall there. We're 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 7: going to talk to our reporter out of Washington, d C. 134 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 7: After seven this morning, Briggs Meders with US Deven Funds Management. Greg. 135 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 7: Good morning to you. Good morning right now, let's start 136 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 7: with the US markets obviously closed today, Martin Luther King 137 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 7: a day in the United States, but investors already digesting 138 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 7: some of those implications of those executive orders that he's 139 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 7: getting through. 140 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 14: Yeah, they certainly are. 141 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 15: So. 142 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 14: Yeah, the markets are closed in terms of the US, 143 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 14: but hey, European markets are pushing higher, and you've got 144 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 14: the futures trading that they're pointing higher as well. So 145 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 14: I guess we'll see see tomorrow when they're when they reopen. 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 14: But obviously, market reaction following the election result more recently 147 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 14: leading up to thermalation has been positive. I guess the 148 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 14: key thing for markets might be the unpredictability of the right, 149 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 14: and if the pre party anything to go by, there 150 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 14: could be a bit of that. You know, the village 151 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 14: people bang out YMCA and dancing alongside Trump. It's going 152 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 14: to be a interesting for market perspective, but only at 153 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 14: the moment. 154 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're looking. 155 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 14: Obviously investors are looking at the pro business aspects, you know, 156 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 14: lower regulation, lower taxes, and it's obviously we're remembering the 157 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 14: stock market did quite well under Trump last time around. 158 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 14: Actual one thing just looking at the ceremony as well. 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 14: I know he's not wearing as a red typhon once 160 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 14: bipartisan purple, so maybe that's. 161 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 7: A new era there. 162 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 14: But speech is underway and it's down the business, isn't 163 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 14: it with these executive orders, So I think that's going 164 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 14: to be something that investors are looking at. He said 165 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 14: he's going to sign up to a record a record number, 166 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 14: perhaps more than one hundred. And you look at what 167 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 14: he did in his first year. He did fifty five 168 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 14: in total, so he's going to be going pretty hard then. 169 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 14: And Biden he did just seventeen in the hours after 170 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 14: he took the oath. But as already suggestions, he might 171 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 14: have to get busy, and the idea that he's a 172 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 14: lane duck present potentially obviously one term and he might 173 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 14: struggle to get much through after the mid terms in 174 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 14: two years time. So yeah, we know what he's going 175 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 14: to be focused on. Immigration that'll be won. They have 176 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 14: said there's a no price tag with this and you've 177 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 14: mentioned the troops on the border. I think the cost 178 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 14: of his policies will be something that investors look at 179 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 14: at some point, perhaps for another day, because he's also 180 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 14: looking to increase tariffs. It'll be just interesting to see 181 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 14: how far he goes here, whether he invokes sort of 182 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 14: special powers, or whether he waters it down a bit. 183 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 14: You I suppose we can look at the reaction the 184 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 14: currency markets. At the moment, the US dollars down over 185 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 14: one percent. He's looking at deregulating sectors, of course, including cryptos. 186 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 14: Seeing MILANIUS, she's launched her own cryptos as Trump, and 187 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 14: he wants to make the US the bitcoin capital of 188 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 14: the world. So just on that note, bitcoin overnight had 189 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 14: a record high around one hundred and ten thousand US 190 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 14: And I think another big one for markets Ryan will 191 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 14: be the US all and gas industry. And part of 192 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 14: his promises to usher in a new era of American 193 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 14: energy dominance, so you expect that'll be in his. 194 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 7: First day executive orders. 195 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 14: But he also wants to roll back Biden's climate change initiatives. 196 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 14: So yeah, potentially good friendge companies, potentially not so good 197 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 14: for renewables. And I know it also there's a few 198 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 14: of the big tech execs. You've got Zuckerberg thereous he's 199 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 14: got to take in a shining into our eyes. It 200 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 14: will also linked that to the need for energy, saying 201 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 14: that lots of powers needed, We need lots of power plants. 202 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 14: And you see in the last few days that youth 203 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 14: needs to double the energy that currently has. There's implications 204 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 14: for energy markets. But yeah, the initial stages of his 205 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 14: presidency look to be action packs. 206 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 7: So yeah, buckle up. Yeah, interesting one because obviously he's 207 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 7: so hard to predict, which makes it difficult for markets 208 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 7: to try and work out exactly what he's going to do. 209 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 7: What's a bargaining chip and what's real looks like it's 210 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 7: going to be a big year for merger and acquisitions. 211 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 7: We've already seen plenty of chat around a couple of 212 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 7: big players here, right, Yeah. 213 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 14: That's right, that's what we have predictions for this year. 214 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 14: So we're talking about I suppose a soft landing for 215 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 14: the for the global economy, or suppose the cliche at 216 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 14: the moment there's no landing, but also boring costs coming down. Now, 217 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 14: it's early days, but we have seen some chat already. 218 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 14: So so you look at Rio Chinda, that's a big 219 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 14: miner held talks with Glencore. Evidently that would be a 220 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 14: huge deal. That would be north of two hundred and 221 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 14: fifty billion US dollars, the combined group with eclipsed PHPs, 222 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 14: the world's largest mining group. These two had talks a 223 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 14: couple of years years ago. Oh sorry, around a decade ago. Sorry, 224 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 14: but that was more about iron. All the driving forces 225 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 14: time around could be copper. Between them, they produced one 226 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 14: point eight million tons of the stuff, seercent of global 227 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 14: copper supply. And we know about the transition and coppers 228 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 14: of vital metal used in powering evs, wind turbines, solar 229 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 14: panels and the like. Even though Trump is view clear 230 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 14: on some of these things, and meanwe it's quite a 231 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 14: challenge to get new ones of scale and was also 232 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 14: seeing activity elsewhere also across the Tasman we've got private 233 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 14: equity firms there locked in a three billion dollar bidding 234 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 14: war for Financial Services Group in Signia, and then there's 235 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 14: New Zealand. 236 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 7: It was pretty quite down to the markets. 237 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 14: You stayed, but we've had an announcement regarding Millennium and 238 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 14: cop Thorn Hotels and there Singapore based CD AlSi is 239 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 14: the majority owner.

So we're really pretty 339 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 10: volatile at the moment. 340 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 7: The annual drop was twenty two percent, right, has that 341 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 7: been slowing or you know, have you seen a trend 342 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 7: in the longer term a little bit? 343 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 10: So since June we've seen our job at volumes declimbed 344 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 10: by just one percent, but certainly at the start of 345 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 10: twenty twenty four we saw pretty significant fall. So we 346 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 10: sort of feel like we're hit the bottom and we're 347 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 10: bouncing along it, but we're not seeing a ton of 348 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 10: green shoots. 349 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 7: Just at the moment, where are you better off being 350 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 7: in New Zealand if you're looking for a job at 351 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 7: the moment, and the centers and the rurally whereabouts. 352 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 10: Well, look, most of the jobs are always in the centers. 353 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 10: But when we look at the performance of you know, 354 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 10: sort of the regions versus the main urban centers, we're 355 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 10: certainly seeing some of the smaller regions. 356 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 16: Reform very well. 357 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 10: So let's take Otago that's performed really well in twenty 358 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 10: twenty four, only down eight percent versus let's say Auckland 359 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 10: twenty five percent, and Taranaki has performed extremely well. So 360 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 10: they were pretty much flat throughout twenty twenty four. The 361 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 10: main centers in December, for example, Wellington, Canterbury, Auckland down 362 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 10: between three and five percent. 363 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 7: Any industry is showing signs of growth that you want 364 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 7: to mention. 365 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 10: Well, look, banking and finance has had a good run recently, 366 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 10: but unfortunately, you know, the declines are pretty much across 367 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 10: the board. Of course, you'll get certain roles that are 368 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 10: in high demand, you know, some of the specialist areas 369 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 10: and engineering, you know, cybersecurity and some of those types 370 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 10: of roles, but the broad rolls across let's say, Trades 371 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 10: and Services office, and admin advertising media found it pretty 372 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 10: tough in the last three while. 373 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like and just finally the fact that 374 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 7: we've got you know, a number of people applying for 375 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 7: jobs also down, is that kind of offset things? 376 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 17: Not really? 377 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 10: I mean the real story there is the number of 378 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 10: applications is record high's relative to the number of jobs available. 379 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 10: So what that means is for job seekers it's really competitive. 380 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 10: You know, a lot of employers are spoiled for choice 381 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 10: at the moment in terms of you know, who they 382 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 10: can pick because the number of applicants is just so high. 383 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 10: So it's really important for job seekers to make sure 384 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 10: they put the best foot forward. 385 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 7: Thanks so much, Rob, Rob Clark seek country manager with 386 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 7: the latest numbers from December on job ads just gone 387 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 7: nineteen minutes away from seven on News Talk SeeDB and 388 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 7: over in Brussels, they've all got the hebgb's about Trump 389 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 7: trying to figure out exactly what they're going to do 390 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 7: with the Trump presidency.

Good morning to Catherine. Good morning, Ryan, 407 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 7: lovely to have you on. Let's talk trade. Can the 408 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 7: EU escape Trump's tariffs? 409 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 19: They're hoping, but preparing for the worst. I mean, just 410 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 19: look at the trade that the two countries do. The 411 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 19: US is the EU's largest trading partner. We're looking at 412 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 19: a trading range of about one point two trillion euros 413 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 19: between the two countries. However, here's the big thing, Ryan's 414 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 19: there's an imbalance. The EU imports from the US about 415 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 19: three hundred and forty six billion euros worth of goods 416 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 19: but they export to the US some five hundred and 417 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 19: two billions soting kickback on that. What they are saying 418 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 19: it is they will put in place other sorts of 419 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 19: At the moment they're calling it sort of character and 420 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 19: stick type things. But they say they will retaliate if possible. 421 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 19: Wherever possible, they'll put in their own tariffs. They say 422 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 19: there is the mechanism for increasing tariffs, so. 423 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: That will all go back. 424 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 19: And there are more, what they say, tools in the toolbox, 425 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 19: but for the moment they're holding their breath. I mean, 426 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 19: just within the last few hours, the EU Finance Ministry 427 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 19: put out a statement, not responding to the threat so far, 428 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 19: but calling the EU and the US strategic partners and 429 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 19: hoping that in this current geopolitical situation right now, that 430 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 19: Western democracies can work together. So everything is that they're 431 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 19: ready if retaliation is needed, but hoping it won't be. 432 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 7: They'll be worried about it. Biden conquer from the White House, though, 433 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 7: won't they. I mean that that'll be his strategy, surely. 434 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 7: And we know he doesn't like outfits like the UN, 435 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 7: and he thinks NATO's a bit weak, and no one's 436 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 7: contributing et cetera. Have they got a plan to work together, Well, they. 437 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 19: Already have the EU, they already work together in NATO, 438 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 19: and don't forget NATO has other sorts of smaller groupings 439 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 19: than there. But you're quite right, they do have a plan, 440 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 19: but nothing's been put in place because they've been talking 441 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 19: about it for so long. What they're talking about, Ryan 442 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 19: is finding a sort of a middle way somewhere between 443 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 19: what is known as strategic independence and what they've got 444 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 19: at the moment, which is over end of dependence on 445 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 19: foreign parties and other partners. So they're going to have 446 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 19: to find some sort of you know, strategic structure whereby 447 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 19: they keep the US happy, go along with it, make 448 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 19: it really realizing that it has a dominant role, things 449 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 19: like the you within NATO, but also this realization that 450 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 19: they cannot rely on the US anymore. And well aware 451 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 19: of course that Trump and a Trump adminstration doesn't want 452 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 19: to talk to these sort of what they describe as 453 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 19: regional initiatives, the European Union, stuff like that, and they're 454 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 19: aware that he will want to weaken those relationships so 455 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 19: as they can have a more bilateral level relationship. So 456 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 19: there is an acknowledgment that we're in for a rocky ride, 457 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 19: I think is probably the kindest way to say it. 458 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that is a plant where putting it, Catherine, 459 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 7: Thank you very much for that. Obviously there's the Russia 460 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 7: Ukraine War as well and where the tab gets picked 461 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 7: up that But probably to your point at this point, 462 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 7: no one really knows, but I guess preparing for the 463 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 7: worst as they are with trade. Just gone thirteen minutes 464 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 7: away from seven. Thank you very much, Catherine Field, our 465 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 7: France correspondent.

However, it is 531 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 7: fifteen percent fifteen percent below the market peak of October 532 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one, so we've come way off our COVID peak. 533 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 7: In fact, everywhere is down and way down.

Outside of 543 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 7: Auckland and Wellington. What we got Hamilton down fourteen point 544 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 7: one to an average of seven eighty nine, totaling a 545 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 7: down fifteen point eight to set it just over a 546 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 7: mill did'needen down eleven for an average of six forty five. 547 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 7: Christ Church was considered the golden child of the housing 548 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 7: market betweeny twenty four, but even they felt although it 549 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 7: was only really a fraction of the other's single digits, 550 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 7: at a negative four point four percent for an average 551 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 7: value of seven hundred and sixty six thousand, Which is 552 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 7: to say, we all feel poorer, don't we, because that's 553 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 7: our biggest asset. You know, we're not investing in cryptocurrencies 554 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 7: or launching our own cryptocurrencies as the Trumps have done 555 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 7: and the lead up to this inauguration today. So that's 556 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 7: why we're all feeling so poor. Inflation, by the way, 557 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 7: we've got inflation data coming out tomorrow at ten forty five. 558 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 7: We'll get another rate cut next month.

That's for December. International air fears 562 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 7: driving up the inflation rate towards the end of last year. 563 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 7: They reckon, So we should get a rate cut of 564 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 7: fifty basis points next month. After the longest summer break 565 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 7: in reserve bank history, I think no other reserve central 566 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 7: bank in the world has a summer hiatus as long 567 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 7: as New Zealand's. I mean, it's almost as long as 568 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 7: Mike Hoskings holiday at this point, isn't it. How long 569 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 7: has he been gone? And he winters about productivity. 570 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 15: Huh? 571 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 7: Well, in fact, that's probably a problem for the country 572 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 7: as a whole. No one comes back to work till 573 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 7: after White Tongy, don't do they except for us? Sods?

Donald Trump has become the forty seventh 583 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 7: President of the United States. The seventy eight year old 584 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 7: took office for the second time in the last hour. 585 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 6: Under the orders I signed today, we will also be 586 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 6: designating the Cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. 587 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 7: He had a lot to say in his addressed to 588 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 7: the American people, and Amber Duk is with us the 589 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 7: spectators Washington Edita in DC to break down exactly what 590 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 7: he said.

So you're going to mas 592 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 7: renaming the Gulf of Mexico. What else did we get 593 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 7: out of this speech? 594 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 22: Well, look, it was a very policy forward speech, which 595 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 22: is pretty atypical for an inauguration speech. Typically, and the 596 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 22: new president will lay out sort of his vision for America. 597 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 22: He will usually offer some more generic platitudes, so to speak, 598 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 22: about how he views the country and what he hopes 599 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 22: to achieve in the next four years. But Trump was 600 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 22: very explicit about his plans. He promised to on day 601 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 22: one reintroduce policies like remain in Mexico on the border, 602 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 22: declaring a state of emergency, declaring the Cartels a foreign 603 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 22: terrorist organization, as well as ending pets and release policies, 604 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 22: and also promising to Unleashamara and energy. As he puts it, 605 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 22: drill Baby drill, and then on questions of culture, talking 606 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 22: about an executive order he plans to sign that would 607 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 22: essentially enshrine biological reality of male versus female to prevent 608 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 22: transgender ideology from being entrenched in the federal government. So 609 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 22: it was really a historical his speech really in just 610 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 22: how detailed and specific he got about his policy priorities 611 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 22: on his first daid in office. 612 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 7: And I guess that's an indication of just how he's 613 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 7: not here to waste time, He's not here to mic around. 614 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 7: He's getting stuck in from day dot right. But what 615 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 7: about the declaring a national emergency at the southern border, 616 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 7: what exactly does that mean? 617 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 22: Well, that will allow him to mobilize military forces if needed, 618 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 22: to go down to the southern border and assist customs 619 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 22: in border patrol as well as immigrations and custom enforcement 620 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 22: with a combination of border security and carrying out his 621 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 22: mass deportation plans. 622 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 7: Joe Biden obviously was saying farewell to him in the 623 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 7: next couple of hours. Did they talk publicly together? Was 624 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 7: there any indication of the relationship today. 625 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 22: They did not speak publicly together today, although both seem 626 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 22: to be in good spirits. Joe Biden in the past 627 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 22: has said that he had a good conversation with Trump 628 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 22: after his election back in November, and that he sent 629 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 22: him a letter talking to him about what he has 630 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 22: done in office and what he hopes Trump will do, 631 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 22: But he did not give any specifics about what was 632 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 22: actually in that letter. But what was most interesting about 633 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 22: Biden's final hours in office is that he decided to 634 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 22: sign multiple sweeping pardons, some of who some of which 635 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 22: were for individuals that he believes Trump would potentially, in 636 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 22: his words, weaponize the Department of Justice against, including Liz 637 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 22: Cheney and Anthony Fauci, and then also provided pardons for 638 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 22: several of his family members, including James Biden, who has 639 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 22: been accused of being involved in corrupt business practices with 640 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 22: his son Hunter. 641 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 7: Which is that not an indication? I mean, he got 642 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 7: so much flex for doing Hunter, and then he turns 643 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 7: around in the last gasps of his presidency and preemptively 644 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 7: partns his brothers and sisters. Does that not imply that 645 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 7: they did do something wrong? 646 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 22: It does imply that. And that's really the problem is 647 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 22: that Biden has simultaneously given more fodder for critics of 648 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 22: his family's business practices while also basically giving a free 649 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 22: pass to Trump to pardon whoever he thinks appropriate. There's 650 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 22: been a lot of criticism of which January six participants 651 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 22: Trump might pardon, and his allies are now going to 652 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 22: take Biden's decision to pardon his family members as a 653 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 22: free reign to pardon every single January sixth participant, whether 654 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 22: violent or nonviolent, because the line has been crossed. 655 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 7: And but just finally, Trump said he's going to rename 656 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 7: the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Denial, He's 657 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 7: going to rename him McKinley. 658 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 4: Can he actually do that? 659 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 7: Does Can he just redraw the map, rewrite the map? 660 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 22: I believe he can do it for Denali or Mount McKinley, 661 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 22: But the Golf of Mexico or Golf of America would 662 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 22: obviously have to be accepted by Mexico as well. So 663 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 22: we could end up with a situation where you have 664 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 22: different countries calling it different things. But you know, that 665 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 22: wouldn't be the first time that's happened. There's certainly other 666 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 22: places around the world where countries called them different things. 667 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 15: So but we'll see what happens. 668 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 7: And but thank you very much for that excellent reporting 669 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 7: is always Amber Duke, the Spectators Washington editor in DC. 670 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 7: Just gone twelve after seven Ryan Bridge company liquidations, you 671 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 7: would have seen this.

Is this 677 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 7: as bad as it looks calling it the worst and 678 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 7: ten year high? 679 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 23: Well, I don't think it's as bad as the GFC. 680 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 23: I wonder whether what might change the future though, is 681 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 23: your conversation with your previous interviewer and how the geopolitical 682 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 23: environment will alter and how it will impact on New 683 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 23: Zealanders and the New Zealand economy. 684 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 7: And that's going to be a big determinant going forward. 685 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 7: What about the IID have apparently been cracking down on 686 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 7: prosecutions on liquidating companies who aren't paying taxes. Is that 687 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 7: had an effect? 688 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 23: Definitely? I think that's one of the drivers of the 689 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 23: volume of the liquidations today. The IIDA appears to have 690 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 23: a policy of either pay or die, and if you 691 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 23: can't pay, you shouldn't survive. 692 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 21: And I think that's really appropriate. 693 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 23: Quite honestly. Companies have for many, many years in some 694 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 23: instances and not met their obligations to the commissioner, and 695 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 23: they need to either pay it, make arrangements, or they 696 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 23: can't continue. And I think that so what we're seeing 697 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 23: today statistically is the idea saying, well, we've lost patients 698 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 23: and we're going to make that decision for you. 699 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 7: It's heartbreaking in a lot of ways because for a 700 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 7: lot of these companies, they will be hard working, you know, 701 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 7: fastidious people who are doing all the right things, but 702 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 7: just not getting ahead. If you are on the edge 703 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 7: right now and you've chewed through your equity, you've chewed 704 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 7: through your cash, it could still be a long time, 705 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 7: could still be six months to a year before some 706 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 7: kind of spending sugar hit comes to save you. 707 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 23: Right well, I don't think it's going to come quickly. 708 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 23: And one of the problems is the expenses that have 709 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 23: increased across the last two or three years have taken 710 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 23: out much of the gross profit that companies are earning. 711 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 23: And secondly, weather's been a shortfall of liquidity they've borrowed 712 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 23: money and tear lenders have fed into that. So with 713 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 23: punitive interest rates, that's just soaking up whatever gross profit 714 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 23: they are going to be earning in the future, which 715 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 23: is again at staffed by the lack of disposal income. 716 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 23: Now that will change as interest rates go down, But 717 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 23: I suspect that many people on the economy, and the 718 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 23: economy is the aggregate of all of those participants. Individuals 719 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 23: will consolidate their affairs and just take a breeder, have 720 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 23: a cup of sea for a while and see what 721 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 23: the future may bring. 722 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 7: Brian, Thank you, Brian Williams, BWE and BWA Insolvency disc 723 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 7: on quarter past seven News Talks. Thereb coming up next. 724 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 7: You know we've got a problem with our pipes and 725 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 7: how much they're leaking. We'll tell you just how much next. 726 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 727 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 728 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 7: Atb seventeen after seven News Talks theb New Zealand's water 729 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 7: leakage problem. We know we've got one. Turns out it's 730 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 7: far worse than what we had anticipated. New research suggests 731 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty two million bucks worth of the 732 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 7: stuff as being lost from our pipes each year. The 733 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 7: worst European countries have leakage rates of final six percent, 734 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 7: ours twenty two percent. Nick Wilson, University of Otago, Professor 735 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 7: of Public Health, Neck, Good morning, Neck, good morning. Can 736 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 7: you hear me? 737 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 17: Yes? 738 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 7: Good to have you on. Is it as bad as 739 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 7: it sounds? 740 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 17: It's pretty bad when we do these international comparisons, and 741 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 17: the value of doing international comparisons really highlights what can 742 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 17: be done when a country actually invests properly in its infrastructure. So, yeah, 743 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 17: we're at twenty two percent of our pipe water leaking, 744 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 17: compared to Netherlands at five percent, Germany at six percent, 745 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 17: and lower rates in Australia and various parts of the 746 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 17: US as well. A terrible waste that Well, when we 747 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 17: compared a leakage index number, they were just over one, 748 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 17: whereas we were two point seven. So twice is better. 749 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, So basically we're just not fixing our pipes like 750 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 7: they do in Europe. 751 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 17: Yes, we're not investing in the long we've got a 752 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 17: network of very aging pipes which are leaking and breaking. 753 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 17: And that's actually from a public health perspective that's concerned 754 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 17: because defects and pipes can increase the risk of disease outbreaks. 755 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 7: All right, so we know what we need to do 756 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 7: to fix that. But obviously we've got a whole bunch 757 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 7: of reasons why we dined, including funding of our local governments, etc. 758 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 7: Is there anything new or brilliant that you have found 759 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 7: that might help us. 760 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 17: No, you're right that it is really an investment and 761 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 17: funding issue. But actually one of the new things was 762 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 17: there's been big advances in technology for detecting leaks, various 763 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 17: acoustic systems inside pipes and above pipes with GPS monitoring, 764 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 17: So we've got the technology to actually identify leaks and 765 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 17: that's really been a big improvement. But also water measuring. 766 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 17: We've got more and more evident now that water metering 767 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 17: is an important part of the solution. It helps detect 768 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 17: the leaks and it makes people more conscious off the 769 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 17: value of water. 770 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 7: All right, Nick, thank you so much for that. Nick Wilson, 771 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 7: Professor of Public Health at the University of Otago. During 772 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 7: that interview, we probably lost dardono let's say, two hundred 773 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 7: thousand liters of water as we were talking. Just gone 774 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 7: twenty after seven. News Talk said be more on Trump next. 775 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: The Mike asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 776 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: by News Talk SEB. 777 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,479 Speaker 7: So He's back. Trump is back in the White House. 778 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 7: It's official, and behind the pomp and ceremony are lessons 779 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 7: for politicians on the left here and around the world. 780 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 7: Labeling your opponent a racist, a Nazi, an extremist, homophobe, sexist, 781 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 7: anti trans a threat to democracy, a tyrant, remember that one. 782 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 7: A sexist, Well, they won't win you an election. Biden 783 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 7: and then Harris through the kitchen sink of threats about 784 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 7: Trump to the public. None of it stuck. The Obama's 785 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 7: the pelosis. The Clintons of the American political world did 786 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 7: their best to paint Trump as a dystopian dictator hell 787 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 7: bent on crucifying immigrants and minorities. And what happened. They lost. 788 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 7: He won a clean sweep of the battlegrounds, the House, 789 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 7: the Senate, the Electoral College, the popular vote half of 790 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 7: Latino voters, the highest ever for a Republican. His election 791 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 7: was a course run against the backdrop of a tough 792 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 7: economic conditions, inflation hitting punters hard. Plus Joe Biden was well, 793 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 7: literally stumbling to the finish line, struggling to walk and talk. 794 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 7: But the fact remains that voters picked the guy who'd 795 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 7: been labeled all of these awful things because they trusted 796 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 7: him on the economy. And so what's the lesson here 797 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 7: for Chippy. It doesn't matter how many times you call 798 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 7: Seymour and or Luxeon a racist, It won't get you 799 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 7: back on the Treasury benches. Labor and its allies are 800 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 7: gearing up for a fresh on sort of attacks on 801 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 7: race as the Treaty Bill goes to Select Committee. But 802 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 7: here's the thing most Kiwis won't be listening to that. 803 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 7: Just look at the polls they had the ipsos one 804 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 7: out last year number one issue inflation two, health, three, 805 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 7: economy four crime, housing, poverty, race relations fifteenth. Those on 806 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 7: the left would do better and we would all benefit 807 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 7: from if they had stopped the name calling start coming 808 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 7: up with some serious, credible, alternative economic plans to get 809 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 7: this country firing again. Labour was supposed to be the 810 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 7: party for the workers. They've let Provincial New Zealand down 811 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 7: badly with economic mismanagement and energy policies that may have 812 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 7: suited a speech at Unger in New York, but certainly 813 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 7: not the good people of Rupehu. And that's the lesson 814 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 7: that Trump is giving the left today. The recipe used 815 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 7: over the past decade of performative politics, even identity politics, 816 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 7: and virtue signaling and demonizing your opponents, it no longer 817 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 7: works on the very people who matter most, the voters. 818 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 7: Bryan Bridge, twenty five after seven, A really interesting story 819 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 7: out of the UK. How long we got, yeah, Glenn, 820 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 7: time for twenty seconds? Not enough time to tell you 821 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 7: about oh ninety seconds? Goodness me? All right, lots of 822 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 7: time I can tell you about this incredible surgery in 823 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 7: the UK was reading about this morning. So there's a woman, 824 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 7: she's forty years old. She goes into the operating theater 825 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 7: and normally she's got a tumor in her brain. Normally 826 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 7: they wouldn't be able to operate on her because the 827 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 7: tumor is in a tricky place. They would literally have 828 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 7: to take part of her skull out and shift her 829 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 7: brain in order to reach the tumor inside of her head. Right, 830 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 7: So very dangerous surgery. What have they managed to do? 831 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 7: It's amazing keyhole surgery through her eye socket, I know. 832 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 7: And they've gone in there, no fuss, she's back walking 833 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 7: after a day gone in there, taking the tumor out 834 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 7: through her eye. 835 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 24: And you're making a lot of people wentz over their corner. 836 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 7: Sorry, but I am. 837 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 20: I'm envisaging Analys's flights nagger in total recall and he 838 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 20: takes the tracking probe out through his nostril. 839 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 7: I know, well this is kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, 840 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 7: incredible though. I mean, this woman potentially could have died. 841 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 7: She was in pain every day, and normally they would 842 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 7: have had to say, sorry, the surgery is probably too 843 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 7: dangerous for somebody who's forty years old with children. She's 844 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 7: walking the same day and the tumor is gone. It's amazing. 845 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 7: She had a tiny scar. She had double vision for 846 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 7: about three months. Other than that, she's home and host 847 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:39,879 Speaker 7: pretty cool.

Speaking of big jobs, 860 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 7: Nichola Willis has one What parameters have you set in 861 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,320 Speaker 7: order for her to grow growth? Is everything on the 862 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 7: table for her? Yeah? 863 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 25: Look, actually, through the course of the back end of 864 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 25: last year and even even a bit earlier that there's 865 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 25: five things that we've got to do in our economic 866 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 25: growth plan. Obviously world class education. You know, we've got 867 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 25: to get quality infrastructure in place. We've got to get 868 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 25: have much more science, technology and innovation and R and 869 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 25: D to add value to products and services, get rid 870 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 25: of red tape, more competition, stronger international connections. So we've 871 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 25: got the guts of what we want to do and 872 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,439 Speaker 25: build out in that economic plan. And what I really 873 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 25: want is as a minister to lead and to drive 874 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 25: that agenda through across all the ministries. And so Nicola 875 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 25: will have two parts of the job. Continue to sort 876 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 25: of our finances, make sure that the budget is working, 877 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 25: but then really get into the exciting work of actually 878 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 25: how do we lay down the big foundations that we 879 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 25: ultimately know will lead to New Zealand becoming a much 880 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 25: richer place. 881 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 4: And when that happens, that's how. 882 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 15: People get a better quality of life, that's how we 883 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 15: get better public services. 884 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 25: So you know, the real focus is to on this 885 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 25: year is it's about Job Number one is growth, growth, growth, 886 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 25: and that's important. 887 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,399 Speaker 7: That's the visions, that's the vision, right, that's the goals. 888 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 7: So the question is how do we get there. We've 889 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 7: got billions tied up and underperforming Crown assets in New 890 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 7: Zealand on the balance sheet. Why do we have them? 891 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 7: And will you sell them down? Can she start selling 892 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 7: them down? 893 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 25: Well, we've committed not to put progress any asset sales 894 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 25: or what's called asset recycling this term. But what I 895 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 25: would say is there are bigger you know, what we've 896 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 25: really got to do is attract investment to New Zealand. 897 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 25: A big part of that is what I've been doing 898 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 25: when we've been offshore overseas for examples in the UAE 899 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 25: just last week. 900 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, but why won't we recycle assets? Why won't we 901 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 7: recycle assets? The Crown has five hundred and seventy billion 902 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 7: dollars worth I mean, so why do we own stuff 903 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 7: that's underperforming that we could have the private sector doing well. 904 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 25: As I said to you, we've made a commitment of 905 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 25: this term. That's not something that we're looking at a 906 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,320 Speaker 25: lot of things that we well, again made the commitment 907 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 25: for this term. 908 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 4: But what we are looking at. 909 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 25: Is that when you go around the world and you 910 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 25: look at other advanced five million people countries on Earth, 911 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 25: and you ask the question, why are they fundamentally wealthier 912 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 25: than New Zealand Why for thirty years have we not 913 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 25: been able, despite how hard everyone is working, not be 914 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 25: able to get ahead and to create a much. 915 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 15: Wealthier, richer place. It gets back to some pretty basic. 916 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 25: Things and that's what we've got to drive those microeconomic 917 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 25: policies that actually, you know, like for example, science technology innovation. 918 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 25: We spend quite a bit of money on it, you know, 919 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 25: enough money on it. But the question is we come 920 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 25: up with great innovations, but we're not actually commercializing them 921 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 25: and they're building out for big. 922 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 4: Well, we saw that employment for people. 923 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 7: We saw that this week with Abco. This is the 924 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 7: ebuying manufacturer in total. Now have you read about that? 925 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 7: So we're on the hook for four hundred thousand dollars 926 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 7: the taxpayer is through the Callahan Innovation Fund, company goes 927 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 7: into receivership and were left hindre. I mean we are 928 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 7: we making solid investments there. 929 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 25: Well, again, you know that'll be a question for the 930 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 25: Science and Technology Minister to have a review of. But 931 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 25: the bigger point is there will be moments when we 932 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 25: make an investment to facilitate or to catalyze an idea 933 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 25: to become a reality and the hope that it creates 934 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 25: some motness, that creates employment and opportunity to some that 935 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 25: will go right, some that won't go right. 936 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 7: Just to square this off the asset sales thing, you're 937 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 7: not doing it this year this term, but next term 938 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 7: you will be open I mean, I mean selling off 939 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 7: Land Corp for example, that all of that stuff would 940 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 7: be on the table for next term. 941 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 25: Yeah, our commitment is that we're not going to do 942 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 25: asset sales with two years ago from the rest of 943 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 25: the term expires. But you know, the bigger issue is 944 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 25: about how do we get pools of capital, both domestic 945 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 25: pools of capital in New Zealand and international pools into 946 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 25: this country for investments so that we can grow the 947 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 25: joint we. 948 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 7: Had them on yesterday and they said they want accelerated 949 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 7: One of the biggest things you could do right now 950 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 7: to increase investment, to increase productivity, to increase wages. All 951 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 7: things we will want is do the accelerated depreciation on 952 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 7: their buying their manufacturing technology. 953 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 9: Yeah. 954 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 25: Look, I understand the principle, which is to incentivize particularly 955 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,320 Speaker 25: small medium enterprises to brace and invest in more technology 956 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 25: automation to make their business more efficient so they can 957 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 25: actually be more productive. Is actually all good stuff. Will 958 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 25: you help them again? We'll have more to say about 959 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 25: what our plans are as we go through the course 960 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,800 Speaker 25: of the year. Obviously we've got a budget. That's the 961 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 25: point where we'd be looking at you'll see very clearly 962 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 25: those ideas come to life. 963 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 7: But so are you looking at are you looking at 964 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 7: that as part of the budget process. 965 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 25: Look, I'm not going to get into what we are 966 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 25: are not looking into fight to the budget. But the 967 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 25: point is we are very open and we'll do any 968 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 25: everything to make sure we get the country growing and 969 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 25: we have it. 970 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 4: You know, Ryan, if you just zoom out, I mean. 971 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 25: For thirty years we've actually under successive governments, we actually 972 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 25: haven't been able to solve that productivity problem work hard 973 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 25: in New Zealand relative to peers around the world. We 974 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 25: suck at it, but we're not adding enough value to 975 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 25: the products and services that we've created. So hopefully come 976 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 25: budgetes and it comes. 977 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 7: Come budget time when you do the accelerated depreciation and 978 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 7: then businesses are about to just zoom forward with that. 979 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 7: Hey on, Just generally, this is the point about the budget. 980 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,239 Speaker 7: In relation to the budget, the AMA said on the 981 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 7: show yesterday that you are prioritizing the surplus overgrowth. You know, 982 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,879 Speaker 7: you could do stuff like this depreciation, but it would 983 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 7: hurt your bottom line and would push the surplus forecast 984 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 7: out further. You know, you look at Spain, They've got 985 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 7: public dead over one hundred percent, their GDPs three and 986 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 7: a half percent. They're leaving the world at the moment, 987 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 7: leaving the EU at the moment. 988 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 4: Are you looking? 989 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 7: Are you are you prioritizing one over the other unnecessarily? 990 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 4: No, we've got the balance, right, you know, we are not. 991 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,399 Speaker 25: We haven't. You know, we're not driving the country into 992 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,240 Speaker 25: hard or sterea. That's just not the way forward. Equally, 993 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 25: carrying on the way that the previous administration was around 994 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 25: tax spin borrow or that doesn't work either. And I 995 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 25: think you've seen us actually be very measured and veryance 996 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 25: through the course of this first year, which was let's 997 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,839 Speaker 25: get people tax relief, Let's get more efficiency and stop 998 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 25: the wasteful spending. Let's actually make sure we lay down 999 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 25: the conditions for growth, and we think about if you 1000 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 25: think about infrastructure investment that we've got to do, if 1001 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 25: we want to get that done, we're going to have 1002 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 25: to pull that forward. That means that we're going to 1003 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 25: have to have access to public private partnerships, use of 1004 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 25: foreign capital, domestic capital to invest in getting our roads built, Quackera, 1005 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 25: our schools belt Quaker area, hospitals built Quaker There's a 1006 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 25: whole bunch of things we're going to have to do 1007 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 25: differently in order to get that infrastructure in place. When 1008 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 25: we get the infrastructure in place, that's got massive economic, social, 1009 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 25: and arguably environmental benefits. 1010 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 15: So you know, there's those are the sorts of there's 1011 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 15: a lot. 1012 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 25: In that agenda of we have to be so much 1013 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 25: more focused on driving growth into New Zealand totally. We've 1014 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 25: got to get out of recession, which we've been in 1015 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 25: for the last three years, and actually get ourselves on 1016 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 25: a pathway to steady growth, and we have to improve 1017 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 25: what's called economic productivity. That's the core, fundamental challenge, and 1018 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,799 Speaker 25: that has been for a long time. 1019 00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 7: Sale Gp, I want to get to Trump in just 1020 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 7: the second. So this is a quick one for you, 1021 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 7: sal GP. Any appetite from the government from taxpayers to 1022 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 7: fund any future events. 1023 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 25: Again, we'll look into that again. You've got to get 1024 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 25: a return for that. And frankly, with the state of 1025 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 25: our books, the question is is that's a high bars 1026 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 25: doing something. 1027 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 7: It's a high bar, all right. And Wayne Brunt he 1028 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 7: wants a visitor levy a bed tax to try and 1029 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 7: pay for it himself. Will you let him do that? 1030 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 4: Again? 1031 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 25: I think what New Zealanders want is they want us 1032 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 25: focused on making sure that we can they can get ahead. 1033 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 25: And I just I'm not sure that adding new taxes 1034 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 25: at this point is the right way. Not a priority 1035 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 25: we will not a. 1036 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 7: Priority, all right? Cool Trump and trade. Seymour wants an 1037 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 7: FTA with Trump. I mean he's dreaming, isn't he. 1038 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 4: Well, well, I spoke to President Trump. He actually called me. 1039 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 25: We had had a good fifteen to twenty minute conversation. 1040 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 25: Pretty soon after he was elected, and I think, you know, 1041 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 25: we're going to make that relationship work really well. It's 1042 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 25: really important for New Zealand. We haven't had an. 1043 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,319 Speaker 15: FTA with US. With the US, Australia does. 1044 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 25: But what's been interesting, Ryan is our trade, both in 1045 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 25: goods and services, has been growing tremendously. I think I 1046 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 25: think I looked at our services data last year and 1047 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 25: I think we're up sort of thirty percent growth with 1048 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 25: the US. Our primary goods exports, you know, are finding 1049 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 25: good ways to get into a very large market and 1050 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 25: finding the profitable niches, you know, in a big market 1051 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 25: of three hundred and sixteen million people. So and when 1052 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 25: I was in DC and back in July, I went 1053 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 25: and spent a lot of time with both Democrats and 1054 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 25: Republicans on both sides of the House around foreign relations 1055 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 25: and trade, and it was interesting to me they're very, 1056 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 25: very supportive and very very open to doing business with 1057 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 25: New Zealand. And So I think it's about relationships. I 1058 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 25: think we need a lot bigger, deeper, broader relationships across 1059 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 25: the US political system, and a lot of it's about awareness. 1060 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 25: You've got to understand, you know, America's a big country. 1061 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 25: When I lived there for eight years. You know, I 1062 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 25: have to think I used to spend a billion US 1063 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 25: dollars a year just advertising Dove Slope to Americans. Well, 1064 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 25: that's what it takes in a big market like that 1065 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 25: to get a brand to cut through with consumers. And 1066 00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 25: so our New Zealand exporters have been doing a very 1067 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 25: very good job of targeting the consumers, targeting the way 1068 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 25: and those products. 1069 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 4: And those exporters. 1070 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 7: Those exporters will be sitting on tender hooks at the 1071 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 7: moment worried about tariffs from Trump. What is the latest 1072 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 7: from our you know, our ambassadors to the US Rosmary Bank, 1073 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 7: What is the latest advice you've had on one, whether 1074 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 7: we'll get tariffs in two, whether we might get some exemption. 1075 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 25: We really need to just let that administration get its 1076 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 25: feet under the desk and actually see what happens, because 1077 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 25: there's nothing more than what we've seen around the campaign 1078 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 25: talk that everyone's seen around the world. But irrespective, it's 1079 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,319 Speaker 25: a relative game, right, So we still have to find 1080 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,320 Speaker 25: a way to win and actually do business in America. 1081 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 25: So what we do in the UAE, as we do 1082 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,240 Speaker 25: in India, as we need to in China, and as Southeast. 1083 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 7: Asia would if it's a negotiating tactic, would you ever 1084 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 7: throw up and negotiate something like us joining Orcust pillar 1085 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 7: two if it gave us a concession on trade. 1086 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 25: No, we will have a conversation about trade around trade, 1087 00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 25: and then we'll talk about our own security and what 1088 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 25: we think is right for the for ourselves. 1089 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 7: Prime Minister, thank you very much for your time. Christopher 1090 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 7: Luxon with us here on the Mic Costing Breakfast thirteen 1091 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 7: away from eight, the. 1092 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 1: Mike Costing Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1093 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 1: News Talks at B. 1094 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 7: It is ten away from eight. So we just had 1095 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 7: the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon on and he's said, basically, 1096 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,720 Speaker 7: they're not doing any asset sales this term. He's sticking 1097 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 7: to that promise even though we desperately need them. And 1098 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,360 Speaker 7: I don't think that. I don't think the public opposition 1099 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 7: to asset sales is what he thinks it is. I 1100 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 7: think Key did it. No one there was a hohoha, 1101 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 7: but no one cares now do they? So what's the 1102 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,399 Speaker 7: big fast Anyway, They're not going to do that until 1103 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 7: next turn, but they will be looking at other stuff 1104 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 7: for the budget, especially to do with appreciation by the 1105 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 7: sounds of it. Lots of feedback, Ryan, I love your show. Spoiler, 1106 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 7: this is not my show, this is Mike's show. He'll 1107 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 7: be back next Tuesday. However, I appreciate the sentiment Monique, 1108 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 7: it's good to be able to make the Prime Minister laugh. 1109 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 7: After all, he is human too, right, challenging Luxon, It's 1110 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 7: good to hear I've been a national voter until the 1111 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 7: last election. Enough of his bs catch words. There's lots 1112 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 7: of people messaging in about his Someone says corporate words 1113 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 7: salad from Luxen. Yeah, I suppose he does use a 1114 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 7: lot of weird buzzwords. And he does talk a lot. 1115 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 7: Not as much as Jacinda doing News to Talk, mind you, 1116 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 7: but he does talk a lot without necessarily saying a 1117 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 7: hell of a lot. But I guess you know he's 1118 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 7: now a politician, is and he's a professional politician. So 1119 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,920 Speaker 7: that's what you expect. Nine minutes away from eight here 1120 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 7: on news Talk said be lots more to come, including 1121 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 7: after eight o'clock.

We catch up with her shortly. 1123 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on the Mike, asking breakfast with Bailey's Real 1124 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: Estate News Talks EDB six to eight. 1125 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 7: You might be interested to know. I was talking about 1126 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 7: the Callahan Innovation Fund with the Prime Minister just a 1127 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 7: few minutes ago. Since twenty seventeen, this is the number 1128 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 7: of investments we've made that have failed. Five million dollars 1129 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 7: has been lost to businesses that failed. That's taxpayer money 1130 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 7: that we put in. And guess how much of that 1131 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 7: we've got back. Twenty thousand dollars of our five million 1132 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,000 Speaker 7: to companies that have failed from the Callahan investment funds. 1133 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 7: So I mean, I would love to know, actually how 1134 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 7: many have succeeded. It is five away from eight. Now 1135 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 7: the Golden Age of America is upon us. Donald Trump 1136 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 7: is the forty seventh President of the United States. And 1137 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 7: he did this speech earlier. We played you some on 1138 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 7: the tallyprompter. Now he's gone rogue. He's off scratching some 1139 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 7: of the people. 1140 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 6: Why are we helping Liz Cheney? I mean, Liz Cheney 1141 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 6: is a disaster. She's a crying, a lunatic. And Liz 1142 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 6: Cheney hated the concept of. 1143 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 3: Not going to war with everybody. Let's kill everybody. 1144 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 6: We'll spend a lot of money on military equipment. 1145 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 24: Think of it. 1146 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 6: They destroyed and deleted all of that information that went 1147 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 6: on for almost two years against Trump. And the reason 1148 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 6: they did because it was all false. Like the person 1149 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 6: that said I tried to strangle a secret Service agent. 1150 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 6: That's one of the toughest human beings I think I've 1151 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 6: ever seen. Remember she said, I put my hands around 1152 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 6: his neck because he wouldn't go to the capitol. Made 1153 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,080 Speaker 6: up fiction, and I was rebuffed. And the guy in 1154 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 6: the raid is a massive weightlifter, probably stronger than me. 1155 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 6: Do you think he's stronger than me? How do you 1156 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 6: know who I'm talking? Possibly stronger than me, slightly younger 1157 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 6: than me.

If you've got 1215 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 7: the whole family there, now it must be even more so. 1216 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 21: Oh totally. 1217 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1218 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 21: No, It's like, you know, I'm trying to get on 1219 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 21: stage and someone's asking me where their soccer is, and 1220 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,000 Speaker 21: it's just like really, so pull on. But yeah, we're 1221 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 21: just trying to hone it. So that and I keep 1222 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 21: saying to my kids, like, if you wanted to come, 1223 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 21: you know, we've got to We've got to get better 1224 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 21: at this. So yeah, it's called to have them, but 1225 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 21: there's just an extra layer of stuff to you know, 1226 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 21: find and wash. 1227 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 7: You've obviously, because I know that you've spoke in the 1228 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 7: past about your mum being very musical and encouraging you. 1229 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,959 Speaker 7: She was a loud singer. Do you sing for your kids? 1230 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 7: Do you include them in that? 1231 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 21: I don't know. I think they just I think, you know, 1232 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 21: even just on Saturday when we had the show, it 1233 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 21: was a huge crowd. It was like fourteen thousand people, 1234 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 21: and I think they were like, oh, you know, but 1235 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 21: they just don't they haven't quite connected that. 1236 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 17: That's what I do. 1237 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 21: They think I'm the sock finder. But so, yeah, it's 1238 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 21: quite cool to bring them because they kind of get 1239 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 21: it now. But yeah, no, I don't know. I don't 1240 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 21: really sing to them that much. Quite sort of. They 1241 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 21: are quite apathetic about my singing around the house. 1242 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's quite that's quite a flex to just put 1243 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,959 Speaker 7: them in. Hey, come and have a look at those kids. 1244 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,840 Speaker 7: See what mama can do. So I've been I've been 1245 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 7: looking back at some of the comments that you've given 1246 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 7: in the past about you know, that inspiration and I 1247 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 7: spoke about your mum being a lounge singer. Is is 1248 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 7: it something that you would want, you know, your kids 1249 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 7: to be doing in the future. Is a music still 1250 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 7: the same, not not just an outlet, but kind of 1251 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 7: career path that it was for you. 1252 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, kind of. 1253 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,280 Speaker 21: I mean only because I'd sort of want to, you know, 1254 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 21: be around them and sort of help them do stuff, 1255 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 21: because you know, it's just like any I suppose family 1256 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 21: business where you get a bit more of an insight 1257 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 21: if you've got someone in your family there with you 1258 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 21: to help you. But that would be the selfish reason. 1259 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 21: I think it's a I still think it's a really 1260 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 21: hard thing to do. But my kids have just started 1261 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,920 Speaker 21: learning to play guitar, and they just sort of did 1262 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 21: it themselves. So I think it's about them having their 1263 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 21: own impetus to do it. I couldn't make them or anything, 1264 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 21: but yeah, they seem interested. 1265 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 7: Your Spotify. I had a look yesterday getting I think 1266 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 7: close to half a million's strength monthly streams for your music, 1267 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,280 Speaker 7: which is fantastic. Just do you make money that? 1268 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,160 Speaker 21: Do I make money? I think probably a little bit, 1269 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 21: But I don't think that's the main way we make money. 1270 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 21: I mean, that's yeah, that's always been a bit contentious 1271 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 21: that stuff, because streaming is a bit stacked up against you, 1272 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,320 Speaker 21: and you know, yeah, it has been harder and harder 1273 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 21: for musicians to make money out of things like that. 1274 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 21: But you know, I guess that's the way we tour 1275 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 21: and and you know, you have to really love doing it. 1276 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 21: You know, I still do it because it's super fun 1277 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 21: and I can't do anything else apart. 1278 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 7: From fine socks.

It wasn't it wasn't. It 1302 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,880 Speaker 21: wasn't so much to do with Ireland. It was just 1303 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 21: some graffiti I saw in Auckland. But it was just 1304 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 21: someone who's gotten up onto the top of a bridge, 1305 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 21: I think in Windom Street. But I just remember saying, 1306 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 21: how did they get up there? 1307 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 14: And write? 1308 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 17: Was really random words. 1309 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 21: Way And then the song kind of wrote itself quite 1310 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 21: quickly and we did record it in Ireland. 1311 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, are you recorded and Iland?

Yes, almost like 1472 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 7: a it looks almost like a country western hat, but 1473 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 7: more for than there, yeah, a bit more for very 1474 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 7: sharp brim. 1475 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,639 Speaker 24: And I was wondering, I was fair at one stage. 1476 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,679 Speaker 20: I was wondering if he was actually making another attempt 1477 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 20: on Donald Trump's life when he bent to kiss her, 1478 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,760 Speaker 20: and he literally hit his head against the brim of 1479 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,000 Speaker 20: the hat and couldn't get anywhere near here. Maybe it 1480 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,519 Speaker 20: is a form of isolation that she's you know, I 1481 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 20: think it was that the only reason she's worn it, 1482 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,480 Speaker 20: so she doesn't get anywhere. 1483 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 7: Near her face. Well, not just him, but Biden, Jill. 1484 01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 7: You know you don't want anything wearing it very low. 1485 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 24: It seems to be too big for her. It comes 1486 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,719 Speaker 24: down right over and you can't see her eyes. 1487 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 7: I don't even know that it's her, Glenn, that's fashion. 1488 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:39,520 Speaker 7: You wouldn't understand that. Look at you anyway. The inauguration 1489 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,640 Speaker 7: London is taking place right now and Trump Trump is 1490 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 7: drinking his diet coke will of course tell you exactly 1491 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 7: what's on the menu in short order. It's just gone 1492 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 7: twenty two away from. 1493 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 18: Nineteen International correspondence with ends and eye insurance Peace of 1494 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 18: mind for New Zealand Business. 1495 01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:03,559 Speaker 7: Rodinal is a UK correspondent. Rod Good morning to you, Roder. 1496 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 7: It's great to have you on the show and let's 1497 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 7: talk about the Well, obviously it's the only story in town, 1498 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 7: and that's Trump. How is the UK reading this? What 1499 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,880 Speaker 7: is the response going to be to this? Trump President, say, 1500 01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 7: do you think, well, I. 1501 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 16: Think in fifty years, I've never known such a political change. 1502 01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 16: It's partly related to the political change we've already seen 1503 01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 16: in Europe. But as soon as Trump got in with 1504 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 16: that enormous majority, all the slings and arrows about Trump 1505 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 16: suddenly stopped. And I watched the BBC's coverage of the 1506 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 16: inauguration and it seemed quite pro Trump, which is a 1507 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 16: remarkable voltfath from how it's been in the past. The problem, though, 1508 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 16: is the trouble it leaves for the Labor government. There 1509 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:58,720 Speaker 16: were no members of the Labor government invited to the inauguration. Crucially, 1510 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 16: the Neritish ambassador Peter Mandelson wasn't invited to the incuration. 1511 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 16: Only two British politicians did go. One was Nigel Farage, 1512 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 16: the leader of Reform UK, and the other a close 1513 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 16: friend of mine actually is Maurice Glassman, who Lord Glassman, 1514 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 16: who is the architecture of Blue Labor, which is a 1515 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 16: kind of right wing rump of the Labor Party. And 1516 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 16: I spoke to Morrow's but just before he went to 1517 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 16: the inauguration, where while he was in his Washington hotel 1518 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 16: room and asked him about you know, the Labor Party's 1519 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,679 Speaker 16: attitude towards Trump, because they have been so rude about 1520 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 16: the man and he fooled a childish infantile and they 1521 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 16: simply don't understand. And I think that's what our government 1522 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 16: has got to grasp. It has to deal with Trump 1523 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,479 Speaker 16: and it has to be on his side or we're 1524 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:52,240 Speaker 16: in big trouble. 1525 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, I've been watching with interest Nigel Farage talking 1526 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,640 Speaker 7: to American media today is obviously over there for the inauguration. 1527 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 7: I'm assuming he's been talking up his chances of being 1528 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 7: the next PM ither in Britain. 1529 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 16: Yes, well, I think there's part of Nigel which does 1530 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 16: think that's going to happen. Partly for reasons of our 1531 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:21,599 Speaker 16: political system I don't think it will, and partly because 1532 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 16: there's also a Conservative Party which has got two hundred 1533 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 16: cents in the House of Commons to Nigel's five. So 1534 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,560 Speaker 16: I don't think it's quite as clear a couple of 1535 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 16: Nigel as he thinks it's going to be. However, nonetheless, 1536 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 16: you know he is a bridge between the UK and 1537 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 16: the US, and we desperately need those bridges. Maurice Grasman 1538 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 16: is also now offering to be a bridge between the 1539 01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,599 Speaker 16: UK and the US why they appointed Peter Mandelson as 1540 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,800 Speaker 16: a British ambassador, where he is everything which Trump detests 1541 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 16: in a human being and also quite a lot of 1542 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 16: what I do test in a human being as well. 1543 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 16: But that's by the bias spose. I mean, it's just 1544 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 16: such a bad call and they've made so many battles. 1545 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,599 Speaker 16: We have a foreign secretary who likened Trump to Hitler, 1546 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 16: you know, and the Labor pluffy generally was terribly rude 1547 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 16: when Trump was on his state visit back when he 1548 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 16: was president before. So there's an awful lot of ground 1549 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:22,759 Speaker 16: that needs repairing. 1550 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, a similar story for the Australian Labor Party in 1551 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,040 Speaker 7: power at the moment as well. Yeah, you know, with 1552 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:32,160 Speaker 7: Kevin run over there, these bridges can be mended, I suppose, 1553 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 7: and I mean basically what they need to do as 1554 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,840 Speaker 7: a big charm offensive as one plan. 1555 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 16: I think that's right. But I think also, you know, 1556 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 16: the way Europe's gone, there are plenty of left wing 1557 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 16: parties in Europe which look quite Trumpian, whether it be 1558 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:56,520 Speaker 16: the Swedish Social Democrats, the Slovakian Social Democrats, the Italian 1559 01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 16: Georgia Maloney, I think we are lacking behind in Britain. 1560 01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 16: The trend both in America and in Europe, and the 1561 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,519 Speaker 16: Labor Party is lacking behind even more than most. And 1562 01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,200 Speaker 16: I think it's I think it's going to get a 1563 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 16: burst of realism from somewhere, and I don't see where 1564 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,240 Speaker 16: that's going to come from at the moment. 1565 01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, Rod, thank you very much for that. That's 1566 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 7: Rod Uk, correspondent. It is seventeen minutes away from nine 1567 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 7: on News Talks. Here b Brian Bridge to bring you 1568 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,599 Speaker 7: up to date with the menu from the forty seventh 1569 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 7: presidential Inaugural Luncheon which is taking place right now in 1570 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 7: the United States. So Trump has got a can of 1571 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 7: Dike Coke in his hand, which is great. Guests are 1572 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,360 Speaker 7: being welcomed with the glass of sparkling wine from New Mexico. 1573 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 7: Each course, the three courses apparently one seafood they've got 1574 01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,200 Speaker 7: to meet entrede. Then they've got a dessert. Each course 1575 01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 7: comes with its own wine pairing. They'll be getting a 1576 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 7: chardine from Virginia. They will be getting a cab sev 1577 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,799 Speaker 7: from Napa Valley in California, and they'll get a natural 1578 01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 7: sparkling bit blend from Sonoma County in Cala as well. 1579 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,759 Speaker 24: Whether Trump will just get dark coke, dark cake. 1580 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 7: Nothing wrong with I quite like a diet coke actually, 1581 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 7: but yeah, there you go. Ed looks lovely, doesn't it. 1582 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 7: Nice meal, free course meal. A lot of American families, 1583 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 7: of course, can't afford that over the last couple of years, 1584 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 7: which is part of the reason that Trump's there in 1585 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 7: the first place. 1586 01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 20: You reckon when Amy klovicher the Democrat, you know, was 1587 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:27,640 Speaker 20: appointed ahead of the inauguration committee, that she thought that 1588 01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 20: that was all going to turn out slightly differently now 1589 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 20: that she's sitting next to Donald Trump all afternoon. 1590 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,439 Speaker 7: It's funny because she sort of looks like you'd be 1591 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 7: a bit gutted, wouldn't you. She sort of looks like 1592 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 7: Nancy Pelosi at a distance. 1593 01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:42,600 Speaker 20: Well, of course, Pelosi's a no show, Yeah, I know, 1594 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 20: along with Michelle Obama obviously. 1595 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 7: Yeah. Well we're not sure about Michelle, right, there's a 1596 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:49,960 Speaker 7: lot of rumors about why she might not be there, 1597 01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:51,559 Speaker 7: and it might not be anything to do with Trump, 1598 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,640 Speaker 7: but anyway, that's just rumors. But Nancy Pelosi sort of 1599 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 7: looks like the Democrat that you're referring to sitting next 1600 01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,599 Speaker 7: to him. But it's not. Actually, if you look closely 1601 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 7: up at the TV, it's not. So it's the one 1602 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,639 Speaker 7: who organized the whole gig. Today it has just gone 1603 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,280 Speaker 7: sixteen minutes away from nine news Talks B, the Mic. 1604 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:13,120 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 1605 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 7: B thirteen away from nine. Lots of texts coming in 1606 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 7: this one from Lloyd Morning Team. A lot of people 1607 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,600 Speaker 7: don't know that Donald Trump does not drink alcohol and 1608 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,800 Speaker 7: of any alcoholic drinks of any kind. It doesn't smoke, 1609 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 7: and he keeps himself fit with regular exercise, including a 1610 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 7: lot of walking. That's true. Yeah, because his brother was 1611 01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 7: an alcoholic, so he has never had a sip of 1612 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 7: alcohol his entire life, and apparently never had a cigarette either. 1613 01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 7: So I think they're keeping himself fit. Is a bit 1614 01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 7: of a stress. 1615 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,760 Speaker 24: Yeah, you were walking up some stairs before. It took 1616 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 24: a while. 1617 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 7: You can. Yeah, but you can be. He's seventy eight 1618 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 7: years old. You can be big and fit, can't you. 1619 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 24: I wasn't saying any different. 1620 01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,799 Speaker 7: It sounds like you're trying to fat shame the new president. 1621 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 7: I was trying to diet coke shame. Yeah, yeah, no, 1622 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,200 Speaker 7: fair enough. I think I mean, things will get really 1623 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 7: crazy if instead of all the other stuff that's on 1624 01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,439 Speaker 7: that menu that you were just reading from before, he 1625 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 7: just gets served cheeseburger after cheeseburger. Whether it's diet coach, 1626 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 7: I suppose he walks around the golf course or does 1627 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 7: he get the buggy? Probably gets the buggy the golf 1628 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 7: camp all the time. Hey, what is life? True? It 1629 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,599 Speaker 7: did quick go away going back to the golf buggy 1630 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,919 Speaker 7: instead of just getting on too the next hole. Quick getaway. 1631 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 7: It's just gone eleven minutes away from nine on News 1632 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 7: talks to b and there's an article that's doing the rounds. 1633 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 7: You might have seen it in last night or you 1634 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 7: might have seen it this morning doing the rounds on 1635 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,680 Speaker 7: the news. It's come via internationals, but it's on the 1636 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 7: local media too. It's all about Davos, you know, where 1637 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 7: the World Economic Forum with all the politicians and stuff 1638 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 7: go and meet. Every year. Oxfam does a report that 1639 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,879 Speaker 7: coincides with it where they basically go out and bash billionaires. 1640 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 7: So they've said in this one that billionaires wealth grew 1641 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,800 Speaker 7: three times faster in twenty twenty four, So all the 1642 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 7: billionaires in the world, their wealth grew three times faster 1643 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 7: in twenty twenty four than it did the year before. 1644 01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 7: They say, over the next decade, we will have five millionaires. 1645 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,880 Speaker 7: In the next ten years, we'll have five chillion years 1646 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 7: and last year they predicted we would have just one. Okay, 1647 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 7: so people are getting richer. There's a few rich dudes 1648 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 7: getting richer. Fine, here's where it gets interesting, though. They 1649 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 7: say the number of people in poverty has barely budged 1650 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 7: since nineteen ninety and you know, they're basically using this 1651 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 7: as as an attack on capitalism. These guys are getting 1652 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,600 Speaker 7: really rich and poverty hasn't moved since nineteen ninety, but 1653 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 7: actually it has. We've had huge population growth since nineteen ninety. 1654 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 7: So they're about seven hundred thousand people, sorry, seven hundred 1655 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 7: million people who are living in poverty right now on 1656 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:40,799 Speaker 7: planet Earth. And that is a bad thing. That's an indictment. 1657 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 7: But that's of eight million people. Back in nineteen ninety 1658 01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 7: we had just five million billion people on planet Earth. 1659 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 7: So seven hundred million out of eight billion versus five 1660 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 7: billion is quite a difference, isn't it. Yes, So there 1661 01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 7: you go. They're trying to obviously make a bit of 1662 01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 7: a song and dance about that. But I just sort 1663 01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:00,600 Speaker 7: of bring it to your attention because it's one of 1664 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 7: those things that sort of annoys me. Have a crack 1665 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,559 Speaker 7: at capitalism, and extreme poverty has halved. This is according 1666 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,719 Speaker 7: to the UN. Extreme poverty has halved from nineteen ninety 1667 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 7: to twenty fifteen. So the system, I mean, I know 1668 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:15,760 Speaker 7: it's not perfect. I know it has its fault. 1669 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 24: We probably don't really need that many trillionaires do it. 1670 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 7: No, we don't. But also if the system that enables 1671 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:28,439 Speaker 7: the trillionaires also lifts people out of abject poverty, then 1672 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 7: the system is worth having around I think. Anyway, nine 1673 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:33,519 Speaker 7: away from nine. 1674 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 2: Ray and Bridge on the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the 1675 01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,000 Speaker 2: Range Rover Villa News. 1676 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 7: Togs, there'd be seven away from nine. And this is 1677 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 7: from Lester Levy, who's the guy that's been put in 1678 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 7: charge of our health system as the czar. Basically we 1679 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 7: tried to get him on the show today after the 1680 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 7: reshuffle yesterday. He told us I look forward to working 1681 01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 7: with the new minister and I appreciate his strong desire 1682 01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,400 Speaker 7: to push hard to deliver on national health targets. Will 1683 01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 7: be sharply focused on that to deliver better health et cetera, 1684 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 7: et cetera, et cetera. He's not coming on the show today. 1685 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 7: Basically is the long and short of it. He had 1686 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 7: a meeting with Simon Brown yesterday. His contract comes up 1687 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 7: in July, and it didn't sound and this is just 1688 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 7: basically vibe reading, but it didn't sound like things would 1689 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 7: be good for a reappointment for Lester Levy. I did 1690 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 7: always find it weird that he was also doing part 1691 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 7: time work at the university, still lecturing there, while he 1692 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 7: was also supposedly fixing the deep rot in our health system. 1693 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 7: That'sn't lecture. 1694 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 20: Isn't lecturing at universities, just replaying your your zoom, your 1695 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,080 Speaker 20: greatest cut back in COVID these days. 1696 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 7: That's true. It's probably not a full time job, but 1697 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 7: running the health system should be a full time job, 1698 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 7: not a part time job. I would have thought, anyway, 1699 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,720 Speaker 7: we'll see what happens to him come July. And I 1700 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,640 Speaker 7: promised it earlier. I'd mentioned the Doge or however you 1701 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,479 Speaker 7: say it, Douge Doze, the Department of Government Efficiency that 1702 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 7: Elon Musk is running. Apparently he has hired dozens of 1703 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,680 Speaker 7: staff is already ahead of time, who are working out 1704 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 7: of his SpaceX office in Washington, d C. And they 1705 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 7: are communicating using encrypted messaging. Now there's a law firm 1706 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:12,840 Speaker 7: who says that is against the law. It violates transparency 1707 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 7: laws disclosure about hiring. And they are now taking a 1708 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,680 Speaker 7: lawsuit against Doge. And they did this as soon as 1709 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 7: the inauguration took place today. In fact, I'm just looking 1710 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 7: at a screen and Elon Musk is speaking at the 1711 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:27,559 Speaker 7: inauguration event right now. 1712 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:28,600 Speaker 6: Thank you. 1713 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 7: He's just touching his heart. 1714 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,320 Speaker 24: It is thanks to you that the future of civilization 1715 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 24: is as shired. 1716 01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:46,360 Speaker 7: Well, we're all peace about that, thank you. 1717 01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 24: He was one of the ones you see that Ai 1718 01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 24: was going to kill us, all right, so. 1719 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 7: Who apparently, well, Donald will say the don will save us. 1720 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 7: It is far away from nine trending. 1721 01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 2: Now we stop too much. 1722 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,600 Speaker 7: Let's hope that weird feud at the Aussie Open has 1723 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 7: now come to an end, although the man apologizing may 1724 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 7: have opened up a whole new can of worms. This 1725 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 7: is the Drakovic versus the nine News reporter Tony Jones. 1726 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,560 Speaker 7: Djokovic unhappy after Tony said this during a live broadcast. 1727 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,840 Speaker 7: Novak He's overrated. 1728 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,240 Speaker 13: Novaksa has the no back kick. 1729 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:21,680 Speaker 24: Him out. 1730 01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,000 Speaker 4: Oh I'm glad they can't hear me. 1731 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,639 Speaker 7: Novak demands an apology, refused to do an on court interview, 1732 01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:29,800 Speaker 7: and the apology had to come. 1733 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 26: The comments were made on the news on the Friday night, 1734 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 26: which I considered to be banter. 1735 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:36,920 Speaker 4: I considered it to be humor. 1736 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 26: Having said that, I was made aware on the Saturday 1737 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:44,280 Speaker 26: morning from Tennis Australia via the Djokovic camp that the 1738 01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 26: Jokovic camp was not happy at all with those comments. 1739 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:47,639 Speaker 7: Now. 1740 01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:52,599 Speaker 26: As such, I immediately contacted the Djokovic camp and issued 1741 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 26: an apology to them.
