It is good 47 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: news this morning. A deal between the US and China 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 2: best and when I met with China and Geneva again, 49 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: it's not a free trade deal. It's a bit like 50 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: the UK, not a free trade deal, not even an 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: economic deal like with the UK. Really, it's more of 52 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: a ceasefire, a ninety day pause from Wednesday. So the 53 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: UI this is going to cut tariffs on China from 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five percent down to thirty percent. 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: China in turn will cut these from one hundred and 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: twenty five percent down to ten percent. I mean talk 57 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: about a back down of walk away. Scott Veson says, 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: both sides wanted this, but the question is which side 59 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: needed it more. 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 6: I have seen what's going on in the Chinese economy, 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 6: we can see what's going on with the shipments to 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 6: the US. And again if we are the deficit country, 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 6: historically the deficit country has a better negotiating position and. 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: The negotiations will have to continue. So over the next 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: ninety days though that, you know, the devil will be 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 2: in the detail. This is just a cease fire, it's 67 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: not a peace deal. So we'll find out over the 68 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: next couple of months what's happening with that. Markets obviously 69 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: like this, especially the tech stocks. They are up, the 70 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: NASDAC up three point three percent, the SMP, the Dow 71 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: two and a half percent of early trading, and a 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: lot of this was already priced in. You know, the 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: markets were expecting that he was doing you know, now 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: that he started to do deals, they realized the whole 75 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: thing was pretty much just a big, a big bluff 76 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: to get to get better deals out of the likes 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: of the UK, which he's got out of the likes 78 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: of China. So we'll see where they land. But yeah, 79 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: a lot of the are already priced in. Recovered losses 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: from liberation, Dame Gold, the old safe haven down but 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: still high. The mid April high was three and a 82 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: half thousand dollars now it's three two hundred and fifteen, 83 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: and of course the dollar, the US dollars shot up, 84 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: so it's it's you know, our dollars down, Yen's down, 85 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: all that stuff. News Talks wud be just gone eleven 86 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: minutes after five, coming up next the paorn issue on 87 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: the work computer and given MCS skimming. 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with one room make your 89 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Property search simple. 90 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: Used talk ZIDB thirteen after five. News Talks had been 91 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: the vitriol over because the Nicola Willis thing and the 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: C word in a stuff publication the other day over 93 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: the weekend. Well, now, now the Labor Party is sort 94 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: of involved in all of this, so this is after 95 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: the paparaity thing. They're obviously a big is shoess, obviously 96 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: got people rolled up. But you can't be going in 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: comparing Brooke van Velden to a Nazi, which is what 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: the Labor Party has done on their social media, completely inappropriate, 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: says Chris Heipkins. We can say that again. So this 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: was a particular branch of the Labor Party posted on 101 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: their page on Wednesday showing a fake image of Brooke 102 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: van Velden. I've obviously gone chucked at in AI a 103 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: photo of Brook van Velden wearing a military uniform next 104 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: to a Nazi banner. Fourteen after five, Brian, Well, we've 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: got more on this resignation of the Deputy Police Commissioner 106 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Devin Mcskimming. Sources have told The Herald that he quit 107 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: after pawn was found on his work computer. This is 108 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: before basically he could be pushed. Lance Burdette is author 109 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: and former police officer with us this morning. Lance, good morning. 110 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: Are you shocked to hear that? Surprise to hear that? 111 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: I am very shocked. I don't know given that well, 112 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: but I know of him. He was a high flyer, 113 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: a person that was very determined out of nowhere. You know, 114 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: You've got to remember that it's not the accessing of 115 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 3: the pornography or having it, it's that it's on a 116 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 3: police computer. And it's common knowledge that you know, viruses 117 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: and malware into computers from all sorts of unethical sites 118 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: where its gambling, gaming or restricted websites, and to be 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: doing that on a police computer is beyond me. 120 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is alleged at this stage obviously, but when confronted, 121 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: when confronted with what the herald is reporting is the 122 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: cause of this. He resigns. So then yeah, now the 123 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 2: criminal charge. The interesting thing for me is that you've got, 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: you know, allegedly poorn on a work computer, but then 125 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: you've got a separate criminal investigation going on, and yet 126 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: you know you keep your job during that. 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because they're obviously it's like any criminal investigation. 128 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: The idea is to get all the evidence there first, 129 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: and then you speak with the person what they call 130 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: him personal interest. I've never seen this before. I've never 131 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: It's none in my career and never happened in I 132 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: think my living memory where a senior police officer has 133 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: ever done anything like this and then having been removed 134 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: or they're resigned before the investigations. That's employment investigation. But 135 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: now with this criminal investigation, I've never heard of it, 136 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: and I find it quite astounding, to be honest, and 137 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: I'm wondering what's behind it all? And like everybody else, 138 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: do you figure out what it is? 139 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: Do you think this is casting a long shadow over 140 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: the police? Do you think that the minister or the 141 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: commissioner should be more upfront about actually what's I mean? 142 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: Obviously the criminal part, you can't talk about I get that, 143 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: but for the rest of it now, I mean he's 144 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: left the building. Who can't just say what happened. 145 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: Unlessed up. Both linked and so there we have to be. 146 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 3: But you know the thing about I know the Commissioner 147 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: and also know the minister. They both have strong moral 148 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: and ethical codes and you've seen this with the with 149 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: the latest saga around the swim tests. So they both 150 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: are ensuring that police officers and police officers have to 151 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: be beyond approach. The higher they go up, the more 152 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: the higher expectation of them. And you know, as I say, 153 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: to get to me in the second top job and 154 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: then to have this happen to a person as I've 155 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: never seen it before. I can't even think in overseas 156 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: jurisdictions where it's happened before. So yeah, they do have 157 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: to wait now for the rest of the investigation to 158 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 3: go through. He's no longer a police officer, and it 159 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: does tarnish the rest of the service. But know that 160 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: I used to investigate police officers. We are tougher on 161 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: our own. 162 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: Greshout your time. Thanks for that, lancebur author and form 163 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 2: police officer on Jevin mcsginning this morning, just gone.

He says work with the government's been 174 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: mostly good, but he wants the bed tax. He's like 175 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: a broken record with the bed tax and the visa 176 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: waivers for China for Brazil. He reckons these can help 177 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: turbocharge growth Auckland and in turn save the entire country. 178 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: Simon Bridges the Auckland Business Chamber of CEO of me 179 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: this morning, Simon, good morning, Aye morning, Ryan. 180 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: Yes, what a magnificent manifesto. Indeed, I just wanted to 181 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 7: say that escause I like the yeah, I like the 182 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 7: way I rolled off the. 183 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: We'll get you into a second. But this China us 184 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: well it's not a deal, but at least it's a pause. 185 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: Has got to be a good thing for us, right. 186 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 7: Ah yeah, good news indeed, hallelujah. I mean, well, as 187 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 7: you say, none of us are naive, but I think 188 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,479 Speaker 7: those two you know, country is really the biggest superpowers. 189 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 7: You get argue into you as well, but in the world, 190 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 7: we need things to be sort of predictable, certain and 191 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 7: you know, at a level as much as it can 192 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 7: be harmonious for the world of global economy. 193 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: And so yeah, good news. 194 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 7: We'll see how it all goes. But good news so far. 195 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: Now, Wayne Brown and the he wants the visas, the 196 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: visa waivers, and you've spoken about this before for China 197 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: and for Brazil. And I'm assuming the reason that the 198 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: government's not moving on the stuff is because they're worried 199 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: about overstayers. 200 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 7: Well, if they are, it seems a strange concern to me. 201 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think that Wayne Brown is right. 202 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 7: My point be this, I don't see a single public 203 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 7: policy reason not to do this. Now, you could argue 204 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 7: with some other Southeast Asian countries, overstaying I think probably 205 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 7: would be in other countries a really significant issue that 206 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 7: they're frankly poor, less developed countries. It's not the China today. 207 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 7: You know, you go to those cities and they're more advanced, 208 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 7: more developed than New Zealand. And you know what we 209 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 7: would see is I think a real sugar hit the 210 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 7: economy if you had some kind of reciprocal visa right, 211 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 7: that is, you know, no visa for a period of time. 212 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 7: If the government was really worried about that issue. You're 213 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 7: mentioning there are things they could do, right What they 214 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 7: could actually do is say, you know what, it's only 215 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 7: got to be for those who fail at the front 216 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 7: of the plane. 217 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 2: That would still be a sugar hit. 218 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 7: And right now, I think I've said before on zre'd 219 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 7: be beggars, can't be choosers. So I cannot see a 220 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 7: reason not to do it. I'm totally with Wayne Brown 221 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 7: on this, and I just say that, you know, even 222 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 7: some of your colleagues when you're there saying how amazing 223 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 7: Erica Stanford is, she hasn't moved on this as she should. 224 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: Yep, know fair enough to I happen to agree with you, 225 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: what about the bad tax because he's harping on about this, 226 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: but it's not going to happen because I well, it 227 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: probably needs a rebrand. They should take the word tax 228 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: out of it, for ste exactly. You know, that's the problem. 229 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 7: I think that's the issue. Look, I'm not saying this 230 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 7: is sort of weazelways, right. I'm agnostic whether it's actually 231 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 7: a quote bad tax, right, But I think the issue 232 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 7: that Wayne's talking about is right for Auckland, and therefore, 233 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 7: you know, I think for New. 234 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Zealand the government does need to do something. 235 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 7: I mean going me give you my sort of maybe 236 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 7: slightly self serving perspective, but I was Minister of Economic 237 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 7: Development in the last days of the Key slash English government. 238 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 7: We get a steady pipeline of major events for the 239 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 7: likes of Auckland that there's just no pipeline again. That's 240 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 7: in the end, that's a fun thing, right, So. 241 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 2: We need something again it but politically to get it 242 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: across the line? Is there any way you can just 243 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: charge foreigners the bad tax? 244 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 7: You know? 245 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: Like that. That's the problem for the central government, isn't 246 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: it They I don't want to introduce another tax that's 247 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: going to hurt Key with you. So we're coming from 248 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: christ it's for a concert at Eden Park. 249 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 7: My simple point would be, look, okay, so you don't 250 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 7: like my senses, and I'm not close to the internal 251 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 7: politics within the coalition on this. My sense is your 252 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 7: first point was the right one, which is in the 253 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 7: end I think they said no new Texas. This says 254 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 7: texts and so that's the sort of issue. Well, look, 255 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 7: the question is not text it's funding, right if they 256 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: want to do it through some other mechanism. But in 257 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 7: the end, both central and local government are failing Auckland 258 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 7: when it comes to major events and activations that you 259 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 7: need for tourists, that you need for people coming in, 260 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 7: but you also just need if you want a dynamic, 261 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 7: exciting city that our kids want to stay in and 262 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 7: work in, right rather than bugger off to Sydney in London. 263 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: If you want excitement in Auckland, you just read Wayne 264 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: Brown's manifesto. Simon, thank you for that. Simon Bridges, Auckland 265 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: Chamber of CEO with us this morning. Twenty four minutes 266 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: alfter five, News Talk said be the early edition. 267 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: Full the show podcast on Ihart Radio. How if they News. 268 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: Talks AB News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five, if 269 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: what they're saying about Flick Electric shutting up shop is true, 270 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: and I've got no reason to doubt it. Then, sadly 271 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: it should come as no surprise to us. This is 272 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: a business desk report. Flickers owned by z So far 273 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: they're not saying anything, but it's one of the smaller 274 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: retailers they help keep the bigger gen Taylors hon us 275 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: the forty thousand customers does Flick have well had potentially, 276 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: but the cracks started showing ages ago, like winter twenty 277 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: twenty one, they closed their books to new customers. The 278 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: great wholesale price crunch hit them hard and last year 279 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: again wholesale prices shot up above retail and you can't 280 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: run a business like that. We were warned then about 281 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: what is happening now. It means the little guys basically 282 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: can't hold on. The problem for them is hedging. This 283 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: is their big problem. They can't afford the cost of 284 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: hedging during a crunch for new customers, and that means 285 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: least choice for us, and we know what that typically 286 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: does to prices. And unlike Air New Zealand and the 287 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: regional airfares debate in the past week, there is in 288 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: this situation a quick fix for the problem. At least 289 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: a partial one. And guess what. The government announced such 290 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: a fix too much fanfare. In February. They said that 291 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: the big Gen tailors would no longer be allowed to 292 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: offer sweetheart deals to their own lot. Transparency about these 293 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: deals would be forced upon them. We had the Minister 294 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: on at the time. Now, the Generator part has been 295 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: favoring the Taylor part, but not the other smaller players, 296 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: so they were going to do something about it. The 297 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: odds are basically stacked against Flick and the little guys 298 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: and out Flix the lights. So we've known about this 299 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: unfairness since at least twenty twenty one for Flick, and 300 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: we've had belatedly an announcement that something might change, but 301 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: years later, no real change, and another retailer bites the 302 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: dust forty thousand customers off to you guessed at Meridian 303 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: one of the big Gen tailor's losing Flick, if true, 304 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: is another sign that winter is coming, and I can't 305 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: see anybody in much of a hurry to do much 306 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: of anything about it. 307 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge Ay. 308 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: Minutes after five, y're on news Talk, sa'd be We're 309 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: going to talk about the Maths situation.

You're talking about primary 318 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: school kids, first two years of primary school in particular, 319 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: so what's not to love about that?

He's cracking down on legal 344 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: immigration with a wait for it, wait for it, with 345 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 2: a white paper. 346 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 10: Today we publish a white paper on immigration, a strategy 347 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 10: absolutely central to my plan for change that will finally 348 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 10: take back control of our borders. 349 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: Now, why is he doing this. It's the Farage effect 350 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 2: in full swing. Of course, we'll get to that in 351 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: just a second. But here's what he has said. He'll 352 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: cut legal immigration by one hundred thousand by twenty twenty nine. 353 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: Currently there's about eight hundred thousand net per anum, so 354 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: it is significant. He's going to scrap a visa that 355 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: boris brought in. This is the opposite of what we're doing. 356 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: Scrap a visa that boris brought in, so you can't 357 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 2: hire doctors and nurses, care workers, from overseas anymore. The 358 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 2: jobs must go to a brit first employers and this 359 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 2: will be interesting for any key we wanted to go 360 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: on an OE. Employers will have to pay more to 361 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: hire foreign staff. And he says, this is not about 362 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: Nigel Farras, but of course it's about Feras. The reformers 363 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: cleaned up from the local elections there obviously you know 364 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: immigration is what drives their support. And here's the latest 365 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: IPSOS poll out in the last twenty four hours from 366 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: the UK More Brits now think that Reform is the 367 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: main opposition party, not the Conservatives. Imagine that happening to 368 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: the National Party. Here people saying I know actors, you 369 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,239 Speaker 2: know act as the government, not National and who has 370 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: a good plan for changing Britain. Here are the results. 371 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: Reform thirty seven percent, Labor thirty two percent, Conservatives twenty 372 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 2: four percent. So you can see why Labor and Starmer 373 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: are throwing white papers on immigration faster than you can blink. 374 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: And that is of course the issue that's driving reforms search. 375 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, also Starma's disapproval numbers are nearing Liz trust territory. 376 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: I think the Bristles are just unhappy generally, aren't they 377 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: twenty one away from six reporters around the country. Collen 378 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Proctor and Dunedan Cullen. Good morning. This missing English tramper 379 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: in Milford's sound.

They say no pausing the search is 390 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 11: difficult news for the family, but they will remain in 391 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 11: frequent contact with them. Impus family has traveled here now 392 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 11: to assist with the search and they describe him as 393 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 11: a passionate adventurer and an experienced climber. 394 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: And how's your weather today, callum? 395 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 11: Some showers later this morning, but clearing to find this 396 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 11: afternoon south westeries and seventeen today. 397 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you clears than the christ Church clear 398 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning now the Christ Church Cathedral they'll 399 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: be lining up to visit. 400 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 12: Well apparently all that's certainly the hope of the Restoration Trust. 401 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 12: The historic landmark, of course, has been severely damaged in 402 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 12: our CBD since the twenty eleven earthquakes. We know that 403 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 12: repairs began five years ago, but they have been put 404 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 12: on hold indefinitely because of a lack of money. They've 405 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 12: now been opening it to the public sort of overtime. 406 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 12: It started last year with the first opening to the 407 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 12: public as part of a festival.

The same guy closed up the Whistling Sisters 434 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 9: last year. Again, not enough customers are pretty simple liquidators, 435 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 9: creditors all paid.

A childcare worker slaps the child repeatedly 511 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 15: and a colleague has been recording the abuse and then 512 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 15: posted it on Snapchat. Now, as you can imagine that 513 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 15: this video has highlighted what people are saying, the on 514 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 15: going systemic issues relating to staffing and safety in these 515 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 15: childcare centers. And as you can imagine, people now asking 516 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 15: is the industry in crisis? 517 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: Did the colleague post it to shame that her colleague 518 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: or was it like, yeah, look at this, this is 519 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: what the child. 520 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 15: No, it was look at this that work, Yeah it was. 521 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 15: It was vile. 522 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: Yes, that's terrible. Donald. I appreciate your time this morning 523 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: as always. That Sara, Australia Correspondent onto my twelve minutes 524 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: away from Sex News talks hev Ryan Bridge. Here are 525 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: the numbers on maths from America stand for one hundred 526 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: million dollars over four years. That's twenty five million dollars 527 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 2: a year. This is going to come out in the budget. 528 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: Well it's a pre budget announcement. Really, every kid will 529 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: now get a new Math's ability check in the first 530 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: two years of their schooling life, one hundred and forty 531 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: three new Maths intervention teachers and forty million dollars for tutoring. 532 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: Robin Brown Upperhart Principles Association with me. 533 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 16: Robin, good morning, Good morning, How are you going. 534 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: I'm good, Thank you. This all sounds like it's got 535 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 2: to be a good thing. 536 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 16: It's always been in education, so absolutely, we're always we 537 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 16: value that. But unfortunately our problem doesn't sit in maths. 538 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 16: We are desperate for learning support. If we want to 539 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 16: improve achievement, we need to put every cent we have 540 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 16: into learning support rather than ring fencing it just for Maths. 541 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 16: We know that that's not going to make a huge difference. 542 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 16: At the moment. We have an adequate PLD or professional 543 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 16: development for teachers on a curriculum that they've only had 544 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 16: two terms to teach so far. It's not being implemented 545 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 16: with fability. We have no way of even assessing it yet. 546 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 16: For us in New Zealand, we need New Zealand based 547 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 16: resources led by New Zealand based educators for teachers? 548 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: What do we not have New Zealand based educators are 549 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: Are you saying you don't want us to bring in 550 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: teachers from overseas to fill these maths jobs? 551 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 16: Well, that's it. We're going to we walk one hundred 552 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 16: and forty three math jobs. 553 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: What's wrong? What's wrong with teachers and materials from overseas 554 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: for maths? 555 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 16: It's not designed for New Zealand. Children in New Zealand different. 556 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: What's different about a New Zealander learning to count than 557 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 2: an Australian or an American. 558 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 16: What's different is the way in which children learn. The 559 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 16: language that we're using for those children is not always English. 560 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 16: Are today our children need to be taught today, and 561 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 16: the resources are being translated, but they've. 562 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: Got separate resources. They've got separate resources that will be 563 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: translated for translation. 564 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 16: Doesn't mean that it's actually designed for the children. 565 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: But Robin, you're not going to sit here this morning 566 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: surely and protest more money going into maths resources on 567 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: the basis that there might be a translation of some tests. 568 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 16: I'm not protesting more money going into math resources. I'm 569 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 16: protesting money going into math resources when we have an 570 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 16: extraordinary large need for learning support. You needed to go 571 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 16: into learning support. We need additional support in classrooms for 572 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 16: teachers when we have children where behavior is an issue, 573 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 16: where diverse needs a neurodiversity in our schools. We've got 574 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 16: children that are going to be accessing additional Tier two 575 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 16: support for literacy, additional Tier to support for new mercy 576 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 16: when they actually need additional support for their learning needs. 577 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: So what you're saying is basically, the kids are coming 578 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: in too frazzled to you know, they've either got neglect 579 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 2: issues or behavior issues. They're not even ready to learn. 580 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: That's step one. That's what you're saying. Yes, absolutely, all right, 581 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: I appreciate your time. Robin Brown, who's the Upper Heart 582 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: Principals Association with us this morning, eight minutes away from 583 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: six News Talks AB. 584 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early editions with Ryan 585 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple News 586 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Talks ZB. 587 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: Speaks away from six News Talks ZB. Right, while that 588 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: interview is all that is wrong with education in one 589 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 2: phone call? What a mindset? That's Kevin. This is Robin Brown, 590 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: who was the Principals Association and Upper Heart not happy 591 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: with well, not not happy with Erika Stanfords announcement, but says, basically, 592 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: kids are just crazy. When they come into class, they're 593 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: not even ready to learn. So it doesn't matter how 594 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 2: much money you put into maths or literacy or whatever. 595 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: The kids aren't even capable of learning. Five cry and 596 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: Bridge morning, Mike, have you seen. 597 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 14: The electricity poll this morning? You were talking about Flick. 598 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 14: I think earlier I was talking about Flick, but I 599 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 14: haven't seen the electricity right. So the pole we've got 600 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 14: to poll out and Courier did it for Octopus, who 601 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 14: were one of your retails type people, and all the 602 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 14: ones who claimed that we need to break up Gen Taylors. Anyway, 603 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 14: vast majority of New Zealanders want the government to do 604 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 14: something about the price of power. My question is, what 605 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 14: is it you want the government to do. 606 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: Literally, well, there's one little thing they can do, the 607 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: one thing that they've said they would do, which is 608 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: take the power away from the gent tailors. They're giving 609 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: themselves sweetheart deals on hedging but not giving it to 610 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: the smaller players, thereby pushing the smaller players out of 611 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: the market. 612 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 14: And so by having no sweetheart deals, you would lower 613 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 14: you would argue the price of power. 614 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 2: For the smaller players, thereby keeping them in the market, 615 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: thereby lowering the price. That's the theory. 616 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 14: Next part of the survey says, and huge number, sixty 617 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 14: seven sixty eight percent of people say the profits of 618 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 14: the power companies are too high. Now tell me you 619 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 14: pick me right now, pick me a power company, anyone 620 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 14: you want? 621 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: Meridian? Yep? 622 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 14: How much profit do they make? 623 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 2: Exactly? I can't remember. No one can remember. 624 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 14: No one knows. And that's the stupidity of the poll 625 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 14: because you just assume that people may go. 626 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 2: Let's how you say, are people paid too much in government? 627 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: They need to be paid more? Do they really how 628 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: much more? 629 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 11: Oh? 630 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 14: I don't know who should decide? Oh, I'm not really 631 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 14: sure do you want the government to pay? 632 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: So basically, polls suck. 633 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 14: Poles are a complete and utter waste of time. We'll 634 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 14: talk about their business of the mass this morning. Do 635 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 14: you reckon the biggest in to education success in this 636 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 14: country is government announcements and all money and all resources, 637 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 14: all the attitude of the sort of people in the 638 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 14: education system. We don't We're just succeed. 639 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 2: We just had an example of that on the program. Now, 640 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: I think I think a bit of the latter. But 641 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: I do think they have a point when they say 642 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: that kids are coming in basically insane and incapable of learning. 643 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: They're fighting, they've got behavioral issues, they've got adhd up 644 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: the wazoo. Is that I don't think they're lying about that. 645 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 14: Well, I think they are to be frank well, having 646 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 14: had having had five kids. 647 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but your kids probably aren't, you know what I mean? 648 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 14: Well, no, because I went to all sorts of different 649 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 14: schools and it's not it's not as bad as they 650 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 14: make out. 651 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: You know. 652 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 14: There's mostly kids are good, Mostly kids want to do okay, 653 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 14: Mostly kids turn up. Mostly the world isn't ending, and 654 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 14: mostly the government can't do anything about your power bill. 655 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: And that's according to a poll of one exactly. Mike's 656 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: next Have a Great Day. 657 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge, Listen live 658 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: to News Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, or 659 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
