It's seven up to five the agenda 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: and it's Wednesday, the fifth of March, and the trade 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: war continues. China and Canada have hit back as Donald 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: Trump's twenty five percent tariffs on imports from Canada and 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 3: a ten percent levy against China begins today, and China 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 3: has vowed to fight the US to the bitter end, 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: announcing up to fifteen percent tariffs on a range of 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: American products, and Canada has outlined twenty five percent tariffs 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 3: against billions of dollars of US goods. Mexico also will 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: join the fray. They will now have twenty five percent 33 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: tariffs from today. Mexico President Claudia Sinbaum Pado says she 34 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: will announce Mexico's retaliatory tariffs on Sunday. 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 4: It's going to be very costly for people to take 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: advantage of this country. They can't come in and steal 37 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: our money and steal our jobs, and take our factories 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: and take our businesses and expect not to be punished. 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 4: And they're being punished by tariffs. It's a very powerful 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 4: weapon that politicians haven't used because they were either dishonest, stupid, 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 4: or paid off in some other forum. 42 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: And now we're using a yes you are. And the 43 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: Dale Jones fell seven hundred and sixty points over night 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: while you were sleeping. It also fell six hundred and 45 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: fifty points on Monday. This will have a big impact. 46 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: And those aren't the only countries, by the way, annoyed 47 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: with the United States, of course, Ukraine's Prime minister says 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: his country is firmly determined to continue cooperating with Washington. 49 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: This is after President Trump paused or military aid. Denis Shimhal, 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: who we don't hear from very often, the prime minister says, 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: Kiev is ready to sign a deal. They will give 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: the United States access to the Ukraine's deposits of rare 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: earth minerals. We're in contact every day with the US 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: administration and Congress, and this conversation will continue and I'm 55 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: sure we will achieve peace in Ukraine. Meanwhile, EU Chief 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: Urshula vonder Layan says Europe is in an era of 57 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: rearmament and is ready to step up on defence. 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: And Europe is ready to massively boost its defense spending, 59 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 5: both to respond to the short term urgency to act 60 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 5: and to support Ukraine, but also to address the long 61 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: term need to take on more responsibility for our own 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 5: European security. 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: And finally from home some news from home. Parliament yesterday 64 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: in the House debated Andrew Bailey's resignation and the government 65 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: under fire by labor for covering up the incident. And 66 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: he's a response by National Bay of Plenty MP Tom Rutherford. 67 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: A fighter the how many chances was she given? How 68 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: long did that investigation take? Michael Wood? How many opportunities 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: was he given from the Cabinet Office to get rid 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: of his shares? Seventeen times? 71 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 6: Kitty Allen in a. 72 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: Diabolical situation, there go rab Shama, who remembers Dr Goraz 73 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: the Shama drama. So I would say the Member's officer, 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: do not throw stones if you are in glasshouses. 75 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: Oh, happy days and great memories. It's now ten minutes 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: after five. 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on an early edition with one roof to 78 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: make your property surge, simple youth dog Zibby So. 79 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: A week on from his waffle fest on the Mike 80 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: Hosking Breakfast, the Prime Minister has returned from Vietnam with 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: a bit of conservative fire in his belly and yesterday 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: on Mike's show, his comment on free school lunches was 83 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 3: pretty punchy. He said, basically, if you don't like it, 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: make a mar mite sandwich and an apple and put 85 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: it in a box. It's what previous generations did. And 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: he's right. I growing up had one honey sandwich and 87 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: one jam sandwich and an apple cut in half every 88 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: day for thirteen years, one half of the apple for 89 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: morning tea, the other half for afternoon playtime. I appear 90 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: to survive, and I got an education on the subject 91 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: of free school lunches, so it must be on its 92 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: last legs. So the funding for this thing partly came 93 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: from the COVID Emergency Fund, and by partly I say 94 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: half a billion dollars worth. So the money obviously has 95 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: a limited timeframe because I don't know if you've noticed 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: there's no more COVID. Well, if there is, we don't 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: worry about it. And even if it was slightly successful, 98 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: the future is pre curious because we don't have the 99 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: money and there is a problem with the entire framework 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: of our social spending that you can see in the 101 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: free lunches. So Labour believed in generality that means if 102 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: one person got it, everybody got it. And it's in 103 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: most of our policy framework to be fair. So if 104 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: one kid was starving in school, then all kids at 105 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: that school should get a meal. Or if you're sixty 106 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: five and unable to make ends meet with no employment, 107 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: you get a pension, but then everyone gets that pension, 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: whether you need it or not. That's generality. The opposite 109 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: ideology is social investment, and that is the corterstone of 110 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: former National leader Bill English's positions. With social investment, you 111 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: identify the people with need and only help them. It's 112 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: called an investment because it should lift the poor up 113 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 3: and make the more productive in our economy. Bill ran 114 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: on that platform in the election that he eventually lost 115 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: to Jacinda Adurance, so he never did it. The New 116 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: National has talked about it from time to time, but 117 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: they've never done it. And I was just thinking it 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 3: might help them if maybe they gave Vilingas a call 119 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: and maybe got his notes from last time and got 120 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 3: him to help them actually make something happen. Andrew Dickens, 121 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: here's a name you don't know but you should. His 122 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 3: name is James Harrison Jim. He's an Australian known as 123 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: the man with the Golden Arm because he has saved 124 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 3: so many babies with his blood donation. Well, he's died 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: aged eighty eight, so in his lifetime, Jim rolled up 126 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: and sieved more than eleven hundred times to give plasma, 127 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 3: which was then used in two point four million doses 128 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: of a medication to save at risk newborn babies. Jim's 129 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: blood was special because it contained a rare and precious 130 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: antibody essential to make anti D injections. Now, ANTID injections 131 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: control a disease that occurs when blood types of a 132 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: mother and the baby are incompatible that can result a miscarriage, 133 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: still worth in other conflications, So Jim's blood made the 134 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 3: anti D and it saved babies lives. Jim first donated 135 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: blood in nineteen fifty four. He apparently never missed a 136 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: fortnightly appointment. He was still giving blood in his eighties. 137 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: He was inspired because he underwent lung surgery as a 138 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: fourteen year old and got many blood transfusions. So he said, right, 139 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to do the whole thing. Another reason I'm 140 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: telling you this story is because Jim Harrison's a great man, 141 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: the man with the Golden arm and that he's died 142 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: and that is very sad. But he donated blood and 143 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: maybe you should be donating blood as well, because you 144 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: never know yours might be as special as James Harrison's 145 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: Andrew Dickens. Whenstym Peters is talking to Mike Hosting later 146 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 3: today around about seven thirty five, all are about the fairies. 147 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: So we've found out just how much is going to 148 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: cost to break the contract. So could it cost more? 149 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: We're going to talk in a few moments time to 150 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: the Rail of Maritime Transport Union General secretary the fairies 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: squeaky bum time.

They might be coming to other 158 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: cities as well. How do you feel about this? You 159 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: can text me two ninety two. We're going to be 160 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: talking about this in a few moments time. Meanwhile, to 161 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: the Fairies and new documents reveal three hundred million dollars 162 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: was set aside by the government to cover its broken 163 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: ferry bill contract with Yundai. Even if Yundai land the 164 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: new deal to build two smaller ferries, the bill will 165 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: still have to be paid out. Todd Wolster is rail 166 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: the Maritime Transport Union General Secretary and has worken up 167 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: early for us Coombonding to you, Todd's three hundred million, 168 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: is that all? 169 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 6: I think it's undercut. There's a lot more than three 170 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,119 Speaker 6: hundred million. I think they're playing the under sums there. 171 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: What are they missing out? 172 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 6: Well, there's three hundred million under the ethers and nothing 173 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 6: not recognizing the costs that have already been put into 174 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 6: to procure these these theories, the two large theories. So's 175 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 6: there's many more millions that have been spent, Okay, made 176 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: billion dollars or even more. 177 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: Okay, easy to throw around those words. But yes, I 178 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: understand these ships where to cost five hundred and fifty 179 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 3: one million dollars and now we've got three hundred million 180 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 3: to break that. But the pole project would cost three 181 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: point five billion, possibly even four by Now that's because 182 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: of the wharfside cost. Can you tell me why no 183 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: one talks about the wolf side cost, which is the 184 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 3: biggest part of this whole thing, and we'll still have 185 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: to happen. 186 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 6: Oh I think we still do. Just talk about it. Yeah, yeah, no, 187 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 6: it's maybe it's been played down. But the ambition by 188 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 6: the KI, I suppose was a bit high and it 189 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 6: was a one hundred year assidet. You know, the existing 190 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 6: infrastructure is probably fifty years old or less and needing 191 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 6: to be replaced, so they probably went a bit too 192 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 6: far on that side of things. And there was a 193 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 6: lots of debate about where there was going to be 194 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 6: in Wellington, whether it was going to be close to 195 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 6: the railway station or income the existing. 196 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 7: Far fire. 197 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 6: So yeah, talking about it, but yeah, it's all these are. 198 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 6: There's tenths on both sides, so they need to be reposed. 199 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 3: Wolves are on an earthquake for a fault, and they're 200 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: sixty years old and they're going to need something. So 201 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: we'll talk about that later. In your opinion, did the 202 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: government rush to cancel the ferries. 203 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I don't think there was much thought put on 204 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 6: it at all, even the way that they canceled the ferries, 205 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 6: and I think it was by text message to High 206 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 6: and Dive before it was announced. A couple of hours later, 207 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 6: so the public was totally disrespectful. I think what is 208 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 6: good is that at least part of the Coalition has 209 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 6: gone to career and spoken to with the shipbuilders. The 210 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 6: Prime Minister didn't and certainly the Minister of Finance didn't, 211 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 6: but at once to have all right. 212 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: Three months after the deal was canceled, the Ministerial Advisory 213 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 3: Group appointed by Nikola Willis told her that she should 214 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: urgently renegotiate the contract. She didn't. Was that a mistake? 215 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 6: Absolutely? Even the Nisterary Advisory Group was sort of geared 216 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: to be to what Nikola calls rail compatible, which is 217 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 6: like weird, everything is rail compatible. You can take fright 218 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 6: and put it on a push bite if you like. 219 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 6: But as far as rail enabled, which is what New 220 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: zeal needs, that's that's that's the main thing. 221 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, are you a roll 222 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: on roll off guy, a rail enabled guy, or a 223 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: rail compatible guy. 224 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 6: Rail compatible is ridiculous, is what New Zella needs. It's 225 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 6: completely inefficient to taking freight off wagons and putting it 226 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 6: onto the little trucks and doing the same at the 227 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: other end. It's it's it's yeah, all right, it's not 228 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 6: even safe. 229 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 3: Really, Todd, I thank you for your time today. Todd 230 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: Volster from the Maritime Transport Union. It's News Talks. It 231 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: be oh yeah, we're talking about the congestion charges next. 232 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of texts just going no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 233 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: absolutely no congestion charges. Well, keep those texts flying in 234 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: and we'll talk about this in a few moments time 235 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: with a guy from the National Road Carriers. 236 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens 237 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: and One Room, Make your Property search simple. News Talks. 238 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 3: It be good morning. It is five twenty three. So 239 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: congestion apparently costs Orchander's two point six billion dollars every 240 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 3: year and certainly, and that's by twenty twenty six, that 241 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: US next year. Obviously, this is according to a report 242 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: that Wayne Brown the Man has commissioned, and he's calling 243 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: for a time of use charge to manage demand on 244 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: Auckland's roads. We know those as congestion charges. The city 245 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: has the worst congestion of any city in New Zealand 246 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: or Australia. Apparently people are spending twenty nine million hours 247 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: a year sitting in traffic. It's National Road Carriers Association 248 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: see justin Tiger Business with me Hala justin Morning Andrew. 249 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: How would road carriers feel about the congestion charges? Would 250 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: they welcome them if they get all the unnecessary cars 251 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: out of the system. 252 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, look, that's right. National Road Carriers supports. Time of 253 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 8: use is a valid tool and the tilkit for tackling congestion. 254 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 8: It's a major issue in Auckland, and I think the 255 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 8: win we'd be looking for out of time of use 256 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 8: in the city like Auckland is to peer back to 257 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 8: something like school holiday level traffic. I think that's around 258 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 8: about six percent reduction. And then what that enables for 259 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 8: track drivers is they can get their fits through faster 260 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 8: and they could probably do more turns in a day 261 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 8: and more runs in a day as well. So certainly 262 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 8: they support it as long as the pricing is price drip. 263 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 3: Is there too much attention paid on, say a new 264 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: harbour crossing when we come to wanting to fix our 265 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: problems when the problems are actually in other parts of 266 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 3: the motorways and also in the roads that the council controls. 267 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. 268 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 8: Look, it's all a system that has to be managed 269 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 8: in cohesion. So for Auckland, harbor crossing. What's really critical 270 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 8: is that we have a second crossing put in place 271 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 8: so there's resilience. When you've got an older structure and 272 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 8: one that's having to be closed because it's too windy 273 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 8: or winds lanes shut down, we need extra resilience there. 274 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 8: There's no question in the level of traffic on the 275 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 8: motorway needs that getting it in the right place would 276 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 8: help congestion. But yeah, look Andrew, you're right, there's other 277 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 8: parts the motorway that need actually widening. And we have 278 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 8: three lanes narrow down to Poo which we've all enjoyed 279 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 8: on away getting out of Auckland. They need to be 280 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 8: addressed as well, and that will have a major factor 281 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 8: in terms of improving congestion. 282 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: All right, justin we'll wait to see what happens and 283 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: whether this really does occur. Certainly, I was driving around 284 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: in a rush hour yesterday and the problem wasn't on 285 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: the motorways, my god. It was in Wirail Road, it 286 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: was in Lake Roads, it was everywhere. It's suburban and 287 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: a little bit on the motorways as well. Good luck. 288 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: If you're driving into work today, it is our five 289 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: twenty six. It's News Talk st B. 290 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 291 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: News Talks it B. 292 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: It is our five twenty eight. This is News Talk 293 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: shit B. So did you hear the disappointment oozing out 294 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: of that maritime union guy I just spoke to when 295 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 3: we find out, of course, the break fee for the 296 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: inter island ferries will be around three hundred million Hurricans. 297 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: It's more like a billion, But that recon felt like 298 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: a reckon, if you know what I mean. The fairies, 299 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: by the way, only cost five hundred and fifty one 300 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: million dollars, so three hundred MILI. That's sixty percent of 301 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: the cost of the ferries just to break the contract. 302 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 3: So if we do accept that a billion dollars has 303 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: been spent on nothing at all, it's making labours light 304 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: rail fiasco look trivial. The union guy caught all the 305 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: situation Nikola Willis's mistake, and I have to say I agree. 306 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: She is hoping to be remembered as the savior of 307 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 3: the economy, but she will never escape this billion dollar 308 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: boat botch up. A botch up she jumped into because 309 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: I think she just wanted to strike a blow against 310 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: labor and they're spending. And also Kiwi Rail, who seem 311 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: to think the government is an open bank. Winston Peters 312 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: is rushing to patch things up. We always seem to 313 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: forget what the real cost of the project is. Yeah, 314 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: five hundred and fifty mili on some boats, but it's 315 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: the wharves and more particularly the Wellington woves. They need 316 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: to be renovated. They need to be earthquake strengthened, they 317 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: need to be future proofed. We need to decide if 318 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 3: they need rail infrastructure at all so we can roll 319 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: a train on a ship or do we have a 320 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: terminal where we swap off over the cargo. We need 321 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: to decide the capacity of the terminals. And these are 322 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: all questions that never make the public decay. It was 323 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: a three to four billion dollar project. The boats are 324 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: only five hundred and fifty mili of that. So where's 325 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 3: the debate on all the rest? And as we wait 326 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: for Winston's grand answer to this three billion dollar question, 327 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 3: I hope he will cover those issues as much as 328 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: the floating stock. And speaking of which, Winston Peters is 329 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: giving us an update at seven thirty five this morning 330 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 3: on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. He won't make it an 331 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: announcement because he's got to the end of March and 332 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: you know he's come into this late. But we will 333 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: hopefully find out where we might stand in just a 334 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 3: few bothers time and still to come, We're going to 335 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: find out where America feels about Ukraine. And this is 336 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: early edition. I'm Andrew Dickens.

I'm Drew Dickens and for 342 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge, missus, Dolly Parton and Joe Lean. Broke my 343 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 3: heart yesterday to hear that Dolly Parton's husband has died. 344 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: His name's Carl Dean. He died on Tuesday. He was 345 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: eighty two. Dean was a retired asphalt paver, and he 346 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: famously met Dolly outside the Wishy Washy laundromat in the day. 347 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: She moved to Nashville and she was just eighteen. The 348 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 3: couple enjoyed nearly sixty years of marriage together. She wrote 349 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 3: her Great Love songs all about Carl Dean's Now. I 350 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: was lucky enough to interview Dolly. Once we were scheduled 351 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: for a ten minute chat, we spoke for over thirty. 352 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: She was so giving and so chatty and so open, 353 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 3: and much of it, though, was about her life with 354 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: her husband, Karl. She called her husband shy and quiet, 355 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: and their love was so sweet and good. And you'd 356 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: have to say the opposite's truly a trap, because she went, 357 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: she's not shy, not really. It was a beautiful, beautiful 358 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: relationship and now it's over. And in these days of 359 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 3: marital discord against amongst celebrities, Dolly and Carl's love I 360 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: think was a beacon for us all to admire. It's 361 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: twenty two. 362 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: To six Andrew dickas. 363 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: Let's go around New Zealand.

They wouldn't comment, 403 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 9: no statement. They just said they'd leave it to Wellington 404 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 9: Water to respond, which was a little surprising considering you've 405 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 9: got Mayor Torrifano and others very publicly saying that Wellington 406 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 9: ratepayers have been ripped off by these bloated deals and 407 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 9: contracts that Wellington Water had signed as well. It's clear 408 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 9: Wellington Water is shouldering most of the blame, a completely 409 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 9: disorganized agency with the lack of oversight. But what about 410 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 9: those on the other side of those deals. You've got 411 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 9: the Commerce Commission now investigating potential unlawful conduct by those contractors. 412 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 9: I can tell you off the record, I've been told. 413 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 9: A lot of people are still waiting to receive the 414 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 9: full report. All we've seen to this point is a 415 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 9: summary of the accusations. You've got mayors in the region 416 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 9: unreservedly apologizing the rate payers. Would corporates need to as. 417 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 3: Well more to come absolutely, and I'm sure those corporates 418 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: are auto ratepayers and so they're ripping themselves off.

Yet every time Auckland has talked about doing something, 455 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: they've said, oh, we're too small. Well Sydney didn't think it, 456 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 3: and look what happened in the future they coped. We 457 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: have the worst congestion in all of Australasia in Auckland, 458 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: and the other cities like Toronger and Wellington are catching 459 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 3: up now.

Kevin Gray out of the UK. 488 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 3: Good oning to you, Kevin hither so jd Vance, the 489 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 3: US Vice President has basically called the UK a random 490 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 3: country with a useless army. 491 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 7: Now that is something he is denying. But let me 492 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 7: give you what the quote was. He said that the 493 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 7: Donald Trump administration is doing a lot more and is 494 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 7: certainly the US stake in Ukraine's economy that the true 495 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 7: administration is trying to get in is certainly quote a 496 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 7: better security guarantee than twenty thousand troops from some random 497 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 7: country that hasn't fought a war in thirty or forty 498 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 7: years end of quote. So well, of course, the UK 499 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 7: and France have both said they are willing to put 500 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 7: troops on the ground as Ukraine perhaps gets nearer a 501 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 7: peace deal. But now JD Vance, the Vice President of America, 502 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 7: said no, no, no, I didn't even mention the UK or France, 503 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 7: adding they both had fought bravely alongside the US over 504 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 7: the last twenty years and beyond. So the question is 505 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 7: who was he referring to if he wasn't referring to 506 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 7: the UK and to France. As you can imagine, it 507 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 7: isn't the Second World War that he might be alluding 508 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 7: to thirty or forty years ago. He has just forgotten 509 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 7: that the UK, of course lost quite a few troops 510 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 7: supporting America to try and give freedom to Iraq. So 511 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 7: one question is how he said this. One begins to 512 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 7: think this shooting from the hip that he and Donald 513 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 7: Trump are so keenon is perhaps going to get them 514 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 7: into trauble occasionally. 515 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 3: Well, he was on Fox News when he said all this, 516 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: and he probably felt very relexed, and he was just Riffin. 517 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: And of course Riff's come back to haunt you when 518 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: you are the vice president of the United States of America. Meanwhile, 519 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: we've got the guy who played Dirty fired in the Crown. 520 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: He's in trouble with the police. 521 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 7: Yes, interesting this. The actor Khalid Abdallah has also been 522 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 7: in United ninety three, The Kite Runner of the Day 523 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 7: of the Jackal. He is one of Hollywood's most outspoken 524 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 7: actors when it comes to the war between Gaza and Israel. 525 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 7: He has publicly called for a permanent cease far and 526 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 7: in January attended a very very large event in the 527 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 7: center of London which was supporting Gaza and the Palestinians. Now, he, however, 528 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 7: has received a letter from the police basically saying we 529 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 7: need to interview you as part of our ongoing investigation 530 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 7: into alleged breaches of Public Order Act conditions. On the Saturday, 531 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 7: the eighteenth of January. What does that mean? Well, it 532 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 7: was a static rally and it was involving several thousand people. 533 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 7: It took place near government offices because the government and 534 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 7: the authorities decided to block the plans to hold the 535 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 7: march near the BBC headquarters in the sort of central 536 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 7: north of London. Police said these conditions were clearly communicated 537 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 7: to those taking part in the protest that they should 538 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 7: remain in Whitehall and then they go on. Despite this, 539 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 7: a large number made its way into Trafalgar Square and 540 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 7: in some cases attempted to go further. So those must 541 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 7: be we believe the allegations. But of course we're hearing 542 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 7: now from the actor that he believes the right to 543 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 7: protest in the UK is under attack. 544 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 3: Kevin, I thank you. The time is our t Intersex, 545 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: Well he did it. Donald Trump has paused all military 546 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: aid into Ukraine. This comes just days after his roun 547 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: with Zelenski in the Oval Office. White House officials have 548 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 3: noted the poors could be lifted if Zelenski shows a 549 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 3: new commitment to peace talks with Russia. I'm joined again 550 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: by Mettterrell, who joined us a couple of weeks ago. 551 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio's former campaign manager, Hello, Man's. 552 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 12: Very great to be with youre hey. 553 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: Look, so a day i go Zelenski said he'd signed 554 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: the minerals deal. Last night the Prime Minister of Ukraine 555 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: said that signed the military deal. They're saying this because 556 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 3: they're comfortable with the security guarantees that Europe is offering. 557 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: So why is America punishing him again? 558 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 5: Well? 559 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 12: Quick correct cruestion of my title is the chief of 560 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 12: staff from Mark Roots presential campaign in twenty sixteen. Is 561 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 12: just quick correction there. But great to be with you again, 562 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 12: and I'll just say that, you know, look, I mean 563 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 12: what we're seeing right now today shape is on the 564 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 12: heels of the Friday meeting between President and Lensky, President Trump. 565 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 12: You know, President Trump feeling there's always taken the action 566 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 12: that he sees fit to pause this military aid, if 567 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 12: you will, This is US aid to Ukraine. And I 568 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 12: think at this stage right now, the real question everyone 569 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 12: has is what happened next. I think right now we're 570 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 12: going to just pause and wait and see. But certainly 571 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 12: I think right now President Trump has been very transparent, 572 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 12: very clear about what he expects, and that is that 573 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 12: he wants to bring peace to this war. He campaigned, 574 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 12: I'm bringing peace to this war and he campaigned on 575 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 12: doing it in a negotiated way, and I think right 576 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 12: now where this administration is at is that they felt 577 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 12: that this agreement would have been a good deal economically, 578 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 12: not just for both Ukraine and the United States, but 579 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 12: also in its own right with service and security guarantee. 580 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 12: So we'll see what happens here. We're seeing a lot 581 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 12: of moving parts, of course takes shape here, but pausing 582 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 12: that aid is something that's obviously breaking news and frankly 583 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 12: nothing that people should be too shot by giving how 584 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 12: that meaning went on Friday. 585 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: Okay, what's the reaction mean like in the United States 586 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: of America because our Americans struggling with some of the 587 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: concisions that the prisident Trump is making to Russia. 588 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 12: Well, I think a lot of Americans first and foremost 589 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 12: viewing this. You know, if you look at the recent 590 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 12: polling on this, the vast majority of Americans over seventy 591 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 12: percent of Americans want this war to end. And look, 592 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 12: the reality is, I think Americans recognize that there's anthy 593 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 12: concessions on both sides, but you can't get there in 594 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 12: terms of discussing those concessions unless you bring the necessary 595 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 12: parties to the negotiating table and then clues Presidents Lensky 596 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 12: being on the negotiating table, but also President Putin. And 597 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 12: what your senior administrations say most recently is that they 598 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 12: feel as though this war is a war of attrition 599 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 12: and the only way to end it is to get 600 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 12: both parties, Presidence Lenski and President Putin to the negotiating table. 601 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 12: I think the administration has been clear that you know 602 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 12: you're going to have to likely see concessions on both 603 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 12: sides here, but you don't know what those will look 604 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 12: like until you negotiate, until you have discussions. And that's 605 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 12: where I think the administration is at want to get those 606 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 12: discussions going. Bullt by President Putin as well as by 607 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 12: Presidents of Ski. 608 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: Well, Matt, and I'm sorry the chief of stuff the 609 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: fore my chief of stuff Marco Rubio's campaign is that correct? 610 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, so appreciate that if I make sure the title 611 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 12: is accurate.

You've talked sid. 618 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: Be Yeah, it's five to six. Thank you for your text, Steve, 619 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 3: and I probably agree with you. Vance was probably talking 620 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 3: about peacekeeping forces and not some random country. It probably 621 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 3: wasn't the UK make Hoskins in studio. And you've got 622 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 3: Winston Peter's. 623 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 14: Yeah do yeah, I do. So we'll find out. I 624 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 14: sort of want to, funnily enough, want to talk about 625 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 14: the Chinese more than I do about the fairies. To 626 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 14: be perfectly frank, I am only interested in the fairies 627 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 14: to the extent because we talked to the Prime Minister 628 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 14: about it yesterday and he didn't know the answer. If 629 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 14: they go with Hyundai, do you get rid of most 630 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 14: of the three hundred million? And you'd have to think 631 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 14: you would, wouldn't you. And so that then turns out 632 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 14: to be quite a good deal. So not only aren't 633 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 14: you spending three plus billion, you're not even paying a 634 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 14: cancelation fee, and you're getting what you wanted in the 635 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 14: first place. 636 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: Sure enough. My whole thing about this is it's the 637 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 3: ships are just the minor part of the whole deal. 638 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: It's the wolf side that's going to cost so much more. 639 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 14: Not necessarily, because if you get the right ships, you 640 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 14: don't need to do much wolf side. I think that's 641 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 14: part of the problem. I mean, part of the three 642 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 14: pl plus billion was most of it turned out to 643 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 14: be all the stuff you had to do on the land. 644 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 14: The ships themselves were only half a billion dollars, so 645 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 14: that was the problem. So if you can get a 646 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 14: ship that you don't need anything done wolf side, then 647 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 14: not only do you not play a break fee, you 648 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 14: save yourself hundreds of millions of not billions of dollars. 649 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 14: And Winston can go look what I did. 650 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 3: He's not going to tell you any of this, is 651 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 3: he I'm not sure, but I'm going to be well 652 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: it is marchand that he's got to come days. 653 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 14: He's got a couple of weeks. And the other interesting 654 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 14: thing about the report that got put out yesterday was 655 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 14: one they should have negotiated harder last year when they 656 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 14: got told this is Nicola Willis's problem. Of course, the 657 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 14: other side of it is there are several companies that 658 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 14: have been redacted, so I mean it's competitive. So anyway, 659 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 14: we'll talk to him about that. But I really want 660 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 14: to talk about the cooks and Chinese and stuff, So 661 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 14: we'll do. 662 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 3: All of that more.
