We'll deal with Darling and 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: Tana first. So the Greens had a meeting at the 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: weekend and they decided to basically send a lead to 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: Darling Tana to say we think we want to walker 55 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: jump you. Is the gist of it, and this is 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: the first step in the process. And then Darling Tanner 57 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: has twenty one days to respond, and then they've called 58 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: a special meeting for September where they'll vote on whether 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: they should do it or not. I mean, what a 60 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: mad process and we're all basically at the mercy of it. 61 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: They can decide how long they want to take before 62 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: they finally get the cahunits to Walker Jumper. And in 63 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 3: the meantime, we're paying this what one hundred and seventy 64 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: thousand dollars salary for her to sit there, and it's 65 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: already what are we almost August? What has she done? 66 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: What is she doing? Why are we paying her salary? 67 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: I think it's madness that this is allowed to continue 68 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: and will continue. I mean, by the time they actually 69 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: get rid of her, if indeed that happens, it'll be Christmas, 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: and that's a year and a bit of nothing. So anyway, 71 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: Darling Tana also interesting about her her pronouns. 72 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 6: My pronouns are they them? 73 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: I never walk away? 74 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: So she said they them? And I thought, because I 75 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: like to get this right, if somebody has a they 76 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: them pronoun, I like to do that. I mean, if 77 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: it makes somebody happy, what do I care? But actually 78 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: she's said she's clarified to our newsroom. I've checked on 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: this this morning, because some people like stuff is saying 80 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 3: they them, I think, and then others are saying she her, 81 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: So it's very confusing. Anyway, Apparently she has clarified saying 82 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: she doesn't mind how she's referred to in the media. 83 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 3: She said, my pronouns are not necessarily about gender. This 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 3: clarifies things very quickly. This is Donald Trump at the 85 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: weekend talking to the Believer's Summit in Florida. It's a 86 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 3: Christian gathering about this election and the next one. 87 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 6: Listen, you won't have to do it anymore for more years. 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 6: You know what, It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You 89 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 6: won't have to vote. 90 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 7: It him one of my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 7: I'm a Christian. I love you. 92 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: Get out. 93 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 7: You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you 94 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 7: don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixtional good. 95 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 7: You're not gonna have to. 96 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: Brilliant. I was thinking of the weekend actually do with 97 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: the US elections. It's fun to listen to Trump sound like, 98 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: you know, he's going off the deep end. But really, 99 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: as Kiwi's we want Karmala Harris to win, don't we. 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: You know, Trump's America first sort of ethos, the nationalist ethos, 101 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: far more instability and unpredictable global events. You know, you 102 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,559 Speaker 3: think about Ukraine, and then you think about the trade 103 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: tariffs and the trade wars, China and Mexico. I mean, 104 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 3: none of this is good for a small trading nation 105 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: at the bottom of the world like New Zealand, is 106 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: it so? I would have thought that we would be 107 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: wanting Karmala Harris to win, do we not? Twelve after 108 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 3: five we're talking boot camps next. 109 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty 110 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: beds and a player store news talk z'd. 112 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: Be fourteen after five? Can I identify Darling Tanner as 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: a waste of space? Yes? I think I can. Right. 114 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: It is the story that just isn't going away for 115 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: the Greens. Former Green MP Darling Tarner still hasn't left 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: his seat in Parliament despite no longer being a member 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: of the Green Party. She's now an independent MP, and 118 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: she has been asked again by her former party colleagues 119 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: to resign. Chloe Swarbrook says the party's delegates will hold 120 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: a vote in September, yes, all the way in September, 121 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: on whether to invoke the waker jumping legislation and kick 122 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: her out of Parliament. Joining me now is political commentator 123 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 3: Bridget Morton. Bridget why is it fear on us that 124 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 3: we are all at the mercy of what seems a 125 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: very drawn out process from the Greens. 126 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think it is necessarily fear or the taxpayer. 127 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 8: As you say, I don't think Darling Tarner is providing 128 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 8: any value at the moment in her position. The problem 129 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 8: for the Greens tho, particularly the Greens leadership, is that 130 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 8: it's clear that the party is not necessarily with them, 131 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 8: and so they can't actually make that decision unilaterally without 132 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 8: quite a lot of consequence. 133 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and now you're seeing there was reporting and stuff 134 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: about the Greens Pacifica one of the three most three 135 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: of the most senior Pacifica leaders and the Greens apparently 136 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: resigning from the party in protest at the way that 137 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: they've treated Darling Tana. 138 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 139 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 8: And on top of they also the treatment of Elizabeth 140 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 8: Kitty Kenny last year and some treatment they say following 141 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 8: the passing of the Fesso Collins. So I think there's 142 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 8: definitely a disconnect, but I think it goes further. There 143 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 8: was also reports across most media about the fact that 144 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 8: party members weren't clear in what they wanted to do, 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 8: that there was still a lot of opposition to Woker 146 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 8: jumping legislation in principle, do we. 147 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: Need to change the Waker jumping legislation to me to 148 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: make it easier on Artist to get rid of MPs. 149 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 8: Well, I think you always want to maintain a balance 150 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 8: that you don't want their belief a party leaders to 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 8: completely and utterly, unilaterally have people kicked out of parliament. 152 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 8: But of course the problem we have here is that 153 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 8: there doesn't appear to be anyone who wants to keep 154 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 8: Darling Tana in Parliament except for Tanna herself. 155 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: Except Darling Tana at least she's not alone. She says 156 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: that she doesn't walk alone, she's abay them, which is 157 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 3: causing a lot of confusion for people. Bridget, thank you 158 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: very much for your time. We appreciate it. Bridget Morton, 159 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: the political commentator there on Darling Tana Bryan Bridge. Olympic 160 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: security must be a night near this time round. They've 161 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: apparently got about forty five thousand police officers on the 162 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: beat trying to contain whatever might happen. And on Friday, 163 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: those rail lines that were taken out by arsonists have 164 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: been restored, so that is good news, but it affected 165 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand travelers over three days. I mean that's 166 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: almost a million people. That is a massive issue for them, 167 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: and they still haven't found out who did it? Who 168 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: done it? And your you know, so many options. Was it, 169 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, a pro Palestinian protest? Was it a pro 170 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: Israeli protest? Was that the far right after those election results? 171 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: You know? Was it some sort of Gehrty attack? Was 172 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 3: it the Russians? I mean, where it's so many places 173 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: you can point your finger, you wouldn't know where to start. 174 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: Who do you reckon? Who done it? Nineteen nine two 175 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: is the number to text let me know what your thoughts. 176 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: I sort of have a suspicion that if it because 177 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 3: it hasn't been claimed by anybody, then it must be Russia, 178 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 3: because Russia is the only one who wouldn't want to 179 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: take responsibility. Surely the rest of them would know. It's 180 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: eighteen after five. 181 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with 182 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and 183 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: a playing store. 184 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: News Talk, z'd be good morning. 185 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: It is twenty after five year on news Talk said 186 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: be lots of text coming, and I mentioned that from 187 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: a new Zealand perspective, we would prefer that actually Karmala 188 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: Harris was in the White House over Donald Trump, simply 189 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 3: because we're a small trading nation and you know, Trump 190 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: is quite nationalists protectionists when it comes to trade and 191 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: Tariff's morning, Ryan incorrect. I and many others want Trump 192 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: to win. Harris as a traitor to the USA who 193 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: will flood the country with illegals and stay in power 194 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: at any cost. Ryan Harris is a repeat of Jacinda. No, 195 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: thank you, No to Carmela. She's a puppet on a 196 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: string and she just wants somebody else will be controlling 197 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 3: those strings, not her. So there you go. Twenty one 198 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: minutes after five. 199 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 9: It sounds like you're received. You come up, it's there. 200 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: I certainly have andrew all listeners with us for sport. 201 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 3: Good morning greetings. How are we doing these forty nine 202 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: er sailors in Massaim? 203 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 6: Yeah? 204 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 9: I must say, the probably the best of the performers 205 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 9: of the New Zealand team overnight. I think winning a 206 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 9: race their opening race setting standard picked up a third 207 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 9: and then they've had an eighth as well. But you 208 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 9: can drop your worst performance, so they can drop the 209 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 9: eighth for now, depending on how they go with the 210 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 9: rest of the regatta. So that's an excellent effort from 211 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 9: McKenzie and McCarty, so well done to them. Not so 212 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 9: good for the fort nine air effects. Joe la and 213 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 9: Molly Meach last by comparison, so that's a bit of 214 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 9: a contrast anyway. 215 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: But what about early days Lewis Claibert. Is he going 216 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: to do it this morning? Cheap as I hope? 217 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 9: So it's been a long wait for a middle on 218 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 9: a pool for New Zealand nineteen ninety six, deniar Loader. 219 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 9: I was at university at the time. We watched it 220 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 9: in the university hostel up the road at Iraq Hall 221 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 9: and it was quite something. But it seems a long 222 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 9: time ago, twenty eight years. 223 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 6: Maybe he can. 224 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 9: But he struggled to some degree in the heat, I 225 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 9: did think. And he finished fourth and it's going to 226 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 9: be a struggle to take out Leon Marshaun with that 227 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 9: French crowd behind him. There's one medal, I would have thought, So, yeah, 228 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 9: he's got a battle. 229 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: On his hands. 230 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. And the new Michael Felts they're calling him, aren't they. 231 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 9: Yeah, he and honestly he was really impressive. Yeah, yeah, 232 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 9: terrific medley swimmer and just yeah, I just think you've 233 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 9: almost Yeah, you just gain some meters or some sort 234 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 9: of slipperiness when you get in the pool with that 235 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 9: sort of crowd. Yeah, behind you. 236 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: The water quality in the river sense, it's. 237 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 9: Ongoing, right, I mean I think should they have moved 238 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 9: this by now? I mean it's so depending on if 239 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 9: they get rain, then they get problems. So they're kind 240 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 9: of waiting on the weathers to see it. And it's 241 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 9: disruptive for the triathletes and the marathon swimmers for that matter. 242 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 9: So yeah, they couldn't They couldn't train today because of 243 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 9: the rain and the efforet washes it through and it 244 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 9: stirs it all up, et cetera. So one day the 245 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 9: quality's okay, next it's not. It just seems they had 246 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 9: a lot. Yeah, it's not a particularly good element to 247 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 9: the Games. I mean, I mean there's been some great 248 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 9: element so far, but that's that's a bit of. 249 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: A sound across. Yeah, the medal talley Australia, we don't 250 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: feature too prominently on that, baking up the numbers at 251 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: the moment, but Australia it's not all about the medals, right, Well, 252 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: it is Australia's out in front at the moment. Apparently 253 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: they are. They've had some six medals for all reckoning. Yeah, 254 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: four golds, two silvers. I've got South Korea in there, China, 255 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: Japan up there, the US up there too. 256 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, where are we the usual suspects? Yeah, maybe maybe 257 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 9: it's maybe it's gonna be a little clear of it, 258 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 9: I hope, so fingers crossed, So yeah, it will be awesome. 259 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: So any medal, whether it's bronze, it would be our 260 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: first swimming medal since nineteen ninety six. 261 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: That's right. 262 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're a country surrounded by water. Shouldn't we be 263 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: good at swimming? 264 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 9: Well, that's what the sailors are doing. 265 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: Well. 266 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: True anyway, true, all right, Andrew Ortison was spot Thanks 267 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: so much for your time.

Just reading the international 274 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: news headlines day in day out, it feels precarious. Trump 275 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: over the weekend, if you missed it, is saying that, 276 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: and he's probably joking. You know, you didn't never really 277 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: tell with Donald Trump, but suggesting that he might fix 278 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 3: the next election. 279 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 6: Listen, you won't have to do it anymore four more years, 280 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 6: you know what, It'll be fixed. 281 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 7: It'll be fine.

You're not gonna have to vote. 286 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: So there's Trump, and then you've got a barely functioning 287 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 3: Joe Biden and the White House. Are these the shining 288 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: beacons of demmocracy we can hold up as our post 289 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: to kids. I don't think so. And then there's if 290 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: you look apart from the Olympics in France, the election 291 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: result there has left them basically in limbo. I mean, 292 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: who is actually running the government? You know, the Olympics 293 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: is kind of the spectacle, that's a side show, but 294 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: really who's running the place. And there's such an extreme 295 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: spectrum from that vote that they had you've had Hungary's 296 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: Victor Aorbarne at the weekend talking about nationalism. You know 297 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: his Pertian's mate. He says, there's a shift in global 298 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: power underway. In a few decades or centuries. He reckons, 299 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: Asia will be the center of the world. The future 300 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 3: big powers China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia. The West has pushed 301 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 3: Russia towards this block of countries, he reckons. The International 302 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistants says half of the 303 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 3: world's countries are suffering democratic decline. They say things like 304 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 3: flawed elections and curtailed rights of freedom and assembly and speed, 305 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: which are reducing the power of democracy across the world. 306 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 3: And this is six consecutive years of declines, they say. 307 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: So I don't really know what the conclusion of all 308 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: that is, other than I suppose just keep watching the 309 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: Olympics and forget about it. 310 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: Rain Bridge twenty. 311 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: Eight minutes after five, speaking of the rowers are doing 312 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: really well, looking really good.

But in 342 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 3: any case, the Americans have arrested al Mayo, who ran 343 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: the Cineloa cartel with al Chapo. Now al Mayo has 344 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: been taken to a federal court in al Paso. So 345 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 3: you have al Mayo, al Chapo and al Paso. Anyway, 346 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 3: Almeo was arrested after apparently al Chapo's son lured him 347 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 3: onto a plane and said, Oh, we're going to go 348 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: check out some airstrips that we can land our drug 349 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: planes on. Come on, come on, get on, and then 350 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 3: he gets on and then they go and land in 351 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 3: al Paso. So, yeah, Almeo, al Chapo both in custody 352 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: and the States one in al Paso. The thing is, 353 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: and there is a sad part to this story, obviously, 354 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 3: and that is the impact that these drugs are having 355 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: in the United States. Some frightening numbers when you read 356 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 3: these stories Ventanyl deaths, and this is why they keep 357 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: going after these guys eighteen to forty five year olds. 358 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 3: Ventanyl is the leading cause of death in America eighteen 359 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: to forty five year olds. More people die from overdoses 360 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: in America than firearms incidents and car crashes combined. It's 361 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: more than one hundred thousand people a year, the majority 362 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 3: of those ventanyl twenty two away. 363 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: From six Brian Bridge. 364 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 3: We're going to deneed In this morning.

There's more concerns here after 368 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 4: reports that the new Health and Z Commissioner Less the 369 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: Levy says you'll consider downscaling the you toned In hospital 370 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 4: build if required, and so in response, there's been some 371 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: fighting words from our mayor Jills Raddick. He says he 372 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 4: expects the Health Minister to keep his promises and build 373 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: the current design, adding downsizing would be a false economy. 374 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 4: He says if they do downscale, they can be sure 375 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 4: of an absolute uproar and outrage from people all over 376 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 4: the Otaga region, especially Dunedin. Raddick says they don't want 377 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: to protest on this issue again, but the possibility always exists. 378 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 3: Yeah.

He's with 489 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 3: US Live this morning. Good morning, Gavin. Has anyone claimed 490 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 3: responsibility yet for this in France? 491 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 13: No, not yet, and it has of course been something 492 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 13: that has rocked the early part of the Olympics. It 493 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 13: took place on Friday local time, just before the opening 494 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 13: ceremony of the Olympics. Things are getting back to normal slowly. 495 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 13: They hope to run a full service on Monday tomorrow 496 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 13: at our time, but at the moment one in four 497 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 13: Eurostar trains they're the international services between London and Paris 498 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 13: using a high speed line in Paris, just one in 499 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 13: four of its trains that will not run, so cancelations down, 500 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 13: but still really quite considerable, bearing in mind most of 501 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 13: the trains are absolutely solidly booked up, so that's still 502 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 13: a problem. And the rail company said the main Western 503 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 13: line from Paris was operating, was normal, but three out 504 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 13: of four TGV trains those are the more high speed 505 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 13: trains were running on the Northern line for mill with 506 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 13: no delays expected. But still you know, that's only three 507 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 13: out of four. So rail workers did manage to foil 508 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 13: one attempt to destroy safety equipment on a fourth line, 509 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 13: but three of those high speed lines out of the 510 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 13: capital absolutely paralyzed. They should be all back to normal, 511 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 13: but not the start of the Olympics. They wanted. Nobody's 512 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 13: thee at claim responsibility. Plenty of people pointing the finger 513 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 13: at Russian saboteurs. 514 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, because you would think anyone else would climb responsibility. 515 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: Russia is the only one with an interest in not 516 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Yeah, Hey, are you being 517 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 3: softened up for a text and crisis in the Yuka? 518 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 3: Do yourickon? 519 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 13: I think we might be let me know in twenty 520 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 13: four hours. I'll come back to you, because we are 521 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 13: due to hear from our chancellor, the first female chancellor 522 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 13: in history, Rachel Reeves. She of course part of the 523 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 13: new government here in the UK that started on the 524 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 13: fourth of July. Now, already they've been saying, oh, well, 525 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 13: we were left a much worse situation than we thought. 526 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 13: Things are not as good as we thought economically, and 527 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 13: they had always in the pre election campaigning said that 528 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 13: they would effectively continue on the same economic spending and 529 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 13: taxing as the preceding government. However, if this report out 530 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 13: tomorrow from the Chancellor reveals what we hear, which is 531 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 13: a massive black hole in the economy, then I think 532 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 13: we are going to see tax rises pretty quickly. It 533 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 13: is rumored by some that the black hole in the 534 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 13: economy could be as much as over forty five billion 535 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 13: New Zealand dollars a year, and of course yes they 536 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 13: can cut back on spending, but then they might be 537 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 13: looking at generally Conhaps another one could be inheritance tax. 538 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 13: What you inherit when somebody dies and leaves you their money, 539 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 13: and possibly also capital gains, so that is the selling 540 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 13: of an asset and a tax on the growth. Yeah, 541 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 13: it could be bad news, could. 542 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: Be bad news, could be one of those, or it 543 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 3: could be all of those. Given, thanks so much for 544 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 3: your time and good luck. In Away from six ran Bridge, 545 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: Tambody's boot Camp pilot program for serious young offenders starts today. 546 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 3: The twelvemonth military style program will see one to one 547 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: mentoring for each teenager with a focus on routine physical 548 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 3: activity and education. Willow jene Prime is Labour's Children's spokesperson 549 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: and joins me, now, thank you for being with me 550 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: this morning. First of all, this sounds like quite a 551 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 3: good thing, particularly for those serious repeat young offenders. 552 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 14: No, no, it doesn't sound like a good thing, Ryan, 553 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 14: and that is because what we have here is the 554 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 14: government running a pilot. Essentially, the pilot pilot is an experiment, 555 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 14: and that is despite evidence, experts and people with experience 556 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 14: all saying that military style academies or boot camps do 557 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 14: not work for these young people. 558 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 3: Karen Shaw says they have learned from past boot camps. 559 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: The focus this time will be more on rehabilitation and 560 00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: re entering the community. 561 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 14: They say that they have learned, yet they are ignoring evidence, 562 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 14: experts and people with experience who say that the scared 563 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 14: straight and boot camp style programs do not work. And 564 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 14: that was the most recent report on them by Sir 565 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 14: Peter Gluckman in twenty and eighteen. And this just last 566 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 14: week we had the Royal Commission report on Abuse in 567 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 14: staycare and it includes an entire chapter on boot camp 568 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 14: and in there many of the same issues are raised 569 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 14: in that report, and they continue to ignore that and 570 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 14: insist on their tough on crime, punitive rhetoric and approaches 571 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 14: to dealing with these young people. 572 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 3: Can you see why they might be wanting to try 573 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 3: new innovative things like pilots, given that, according to the 574 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: Ministry of Justice, there was a twenty six percent increase 575 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 3: in fourteen to sixteen year olds indergoing serious and persistent offending. 576 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 14: The issue that we have here is that when the 577 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 14: government came in, they were givent a briefing which showed 578 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 14: that the Circuit Brecket program was having a seventy six 579 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 14: percent success rate. They have decided to cancel the Enhanced 580 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 14: Fast Track program instead in favor of their boot camp pilot, 581 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 14: where there is ample evidence, decades of evidence, recent evidence 582 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 14: from nineteen eighty nine to two thousand and four that 583 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 14: boot camps do not work. Yet they insist on experimenting 584 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 14: once again with young people instead of acknowledging and supporting 585 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 14: those programs that do and can work. 586 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 3: How would you rate Labour's performance in supporting young people 587 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 3: who might be at risk of offending Given that four 588 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: thousand children were living in motels and there was a 589 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 3: two percent increase in material hardship child poverty figures under 590 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 3: your watch. 591 00:31:54,680 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 14: These are extremely difficult challenges that we all have and 592 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 14: that we have to face as a society. That is 593 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 14: what came out of the Royal Commission's report. Labor invested 594 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 14: significantly in the Circuit Breaker program, which evidence shows was 595 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 14: having a seventy six percent success rate in working with 596 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 14: our young serious offenders. We invested further into the Enhanced FasTrak. 597 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 14: I was so disappointed when this government canceled that program 598 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 14: in favor of failed experiments of the past, the boot Camp. 599 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 3: Well o, Jen Prime, Labour's Children's spokesperson, thanks so much 600 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: for your time.

I was looking at the metal tally because 606 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 3: I know you like keeping a score, Mike, and you 607 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: know we haven't won any medals. 608 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 5: We've won no medals and Australia's doing well though they 609 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 5: are doing very well. But the swimming's on and so 610 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 5: they will do well in swimming, so they will front 611 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 5: load their table and depending on how good they are 612 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 5: in other sports.

It was the 615 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 5: most enthralling thing you've ever seen. He called a one 616 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 5: stop strategy on hard tires. He said, don't pit me. 617 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 5: I'm going to go all the way. So his tires 618 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 5: are degrading. He's getting closer and closer to the finish line. 619 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 5: Lewis Hamilton's up his tailpipe, catching him because he's got 620 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 5: newer wheels, and Piastre's coming in third. It's between first 621 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 5: and thirds but less than a second. It was the 622 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 5: most exciting thing. At the end of the race. Russell's 623 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 5: being disqualified, Oh no, because they Mercedes blew it. The 624 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 5: car come in and came in underweight, and so. 625 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 3: It's the car drama. 626 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 5: You weigh the car, the car came in underweight. So 627 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 5: he goes to the summer break, distraught, high drama. 628 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 3: All right, Well, so we'll hear nothing about the olymp 629 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 3: it's from Mike, but everything about the F one.
