1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,200 Speaker 1: Right now, Barry Soap is here. 2 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 2: Hey, bess what's Stephen good Joy's going to say about Trumps? 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Well, Stephen Joyce will have a lot to say about 4 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 5 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, isn't it. I Mean I've listened and read 6 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: and everyone is on the same side except Donald Trump, 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 2: it would seem. But yeah, you know the Chinese today, 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: you know the threat that tariffs that we fifty percent 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: more on China. I mean, it just goes on and 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 2: on and on. It seems this man doesn't quite have 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: a grip on reality. 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Well no, I mean there's there's economic insanity going on. 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: But also did you read Cameron Baggery's piece this morning. 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting. He talks about the 15 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: hollowing out that you know, free trade has been great 16 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: for countries like US, the countries like America. It's hollowed 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: out their manufacturing base. It's hollowed out the rust belt. 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: And so you've got a whole bunch of people in 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: wealthy free trading nations who are feeling quite disenfranchised. And 20 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: the answer to them is something quite extreme. It's what 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: Trump's doing, yes, but it doesn't mean it to work. 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: That is true, But then it's going to take a 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: generation before you can restore once you once had to 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: unfund what you once had, because you know, if you 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: look at all the manufacturing plants like Nike and Lulu 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: Lemon that were in China went to Vietnam. Now Vietnam 27 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: is being imposed with a great tariff, and Trump believes 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: that they'll suddenly now upsticks move back to the United States. Well, 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: it doesn't quite work like that. And as somebody said, 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: cell phones will soon cost three thousand bucks a pop 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: because most of their componentory is made outside America. 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: And actually when that happens, I'll be quite I'll be 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: quite happy because we could do without the damn things. 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the battle with China, I mean I find 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: that incredible. And I see that Trump will I heard 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: them say today that China's a close country. I mean 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: he's got to be having a laugh. I mean, look 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: at New Zealand, for example. Are we export twenty billion 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: dollars worth of product to China now which a year, 40 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: which is pretty extraordinary. But in the house today, Nikola 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: Willis was being quizzed by her opposite number, Barbara Adam 42 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: Edmunds from Labor who seem not to realize the gravity 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: of the Trump ter battering ram on this country. 44 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: Is the government going to use US tariffs and worsening 45 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: global economic conditions as an excuse to hire their economic mismanagement. No, 46 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: mister speaker, we don't do excuses. 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 4: We take responsibility for the actions we can control. 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: The Honorable David Seymour, with. 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: The Minister of Finance, characterize the significant and dramatic and 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: sudden changes in US tariffs as a quote unquote excuse 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: or the biggest thing to hit the world economy in 52 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: a long time that is creating turmoil in every market. 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: In the world. 54 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: That must to speak. 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: Minister Seymour makes a very good point. 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: You, well, how could you disagree with that? Honestly? How 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: could you use what's happening in the world as an excuse? 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: I mean, well, it might say more about her than 59 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: it does about Nichola. 60 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 2: It could do too. 61 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: Now the beat cops and their effect. Tamotha Paul silent 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: on this. 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: Well, yes, indeed it was interesting in the House today, 64 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: Not only Tamatha Paul but the Greens were silent on this. 65 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: And of course the billboards that we saw and we 66 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: talked about yesterday attacking Green Party MP's Chloe Swarbrick and 67 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: Tamotha Pool, both Auckland and Wonnington Central MPs. And the 68 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: group is of course the Sensible Sentencing Trust and they 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: look like legitimate billboards. A second set of billboards. They said, whoop, whoop, 70 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: defund police. Now as I understand that, that's a reference 71 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: to KRS one's track sound of Dark Police. Now I 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: don't know that, but somebody told me that and it 73 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: was played by Paul during her and I think we 74 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: heard it. We're listening to it. Yeah, the Cuba Dupa 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: last month. But that was the theme that was picked 76 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: up by the Police Minister Mark Mitchell, who was defending 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: the police's beat patrols in Paul's own electorate of Wellington 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: Central last year. 79 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: Alongside a fifty four percent increase in foot patrols aggravated 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: Robbie's in the Wellington district dropped by thirty three point 81 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 4: six percent, being visible as a critical part of successful policing, 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: Honorball Chris Bishop, Yes, the Minister received any positive feedback 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: about the Wellington beat teams from the Member of Parliament 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 4: for Wellington Central. Unfortunately No, the Honorable Paul Goldsmith, is 85 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 4: it the government's policy to defund the police. No, it's 86 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 4: not this Gillment's policy to defund the police. 87 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: Then Paul Goldsman is actually not a hip hop man, 88 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: is he really? 89 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: You don't have to say that, Tys. But it's the 90 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: way he says things. I don't know, he's got a 91 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: weird voice. Hey, staying in Wellington. This is a great 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: story from today if true. If true, Andrew Little apparently 93 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: going to stand for Maya. 94 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: Well Yes, and I suspect that's exactly what we'll hear 95 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: within the next few days. The Labor Party, they've been 96 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: canvassing around for a candidate and they've really struggled to 97 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: find one. I mean, it'll be interesting to see if 98 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: Andrew Little. And he's very much a labor man, of course, 99 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: he was the former leader of the Labor Party before 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: he stepped aside God for Justin Dern just out from 101 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: the twenty seventeen election. Perhaps he will be held accountable 102 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: for that and Wantington Central, but he I think he 103 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: will stand. He's a good man, Andrew Little. He yes, 104 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: you know, he's got a good broad view of not 105 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: just politics but of life in general. I personally get 106 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: on very wealth and I like him a lot and 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 2: I hope that he does stand in Wellington, but because 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: for goodness sake do they need it? And the comment 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: from Tory Funnel was that Wellington needed continuity right now. 110 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: If there's anything they don't need is continuity. They need 111 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: to get rid of that lot that currently occupy council 112 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: cheers right now. 113 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: When they kept Adrian or on for continuity, what that's 114 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: the opposite of what we need? 115 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: Just goes to show how out of touch Tory Funew is. 116 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: She expected she'd be there for three terms. Well, I 117 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: hate to tell her this, but I don't think she'll 118 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: be there beyond the October elections. 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Ryan this textas says, if there is anyone worse than 120 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Tory to be the mayor of Wellington, it's Andrew Little. 121 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: He wouldn't put criminals in prison, did nothing on health, 122 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: was soft on everything when he was a minister. God 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: help Wellington. 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: There you go, Andrew. 125 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: I disagree with that, but yeah, anything's better than Tory. 126 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: Thanks Barry for more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive. 127 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: Listen live to news talks it be from four pm weekdays, 128 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
