A bit of housing 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: intel one new rules to make it easier and cheaper 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: to build than to a new build that was easier 7 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 2: and cheaper. It might be a social housing arts also 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 2: seems we can't get enough of private schools. A Liberation Day. 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: What it means for global trade? Steve Williams and R 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: to April bit a gold talk at Joe mckennon's and 11 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: Rome Rod Liddle does. 12 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: Great Britain for us as well, Pass into. 13 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 2: A seven, pass seven past six in an odd way. 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: I think it's good that Donald Trump is serious when 15 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: he talks about a third term, not because we want 16 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: a third term or the fact that he will get one, 17 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: but because if he believes that, he then believes he 18 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: has to go back to the American people and ask 19 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: for their vote. And if he does that, he has 20 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: to also believe that his view on tariffs will have 21 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: paid off and half the world will have relocated to 22 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 2: America to make everything America needs, and that the cost 23 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: of doing that has meant that it's become cheaper in 24 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: the golden age that he's talked of has come to pass. 25 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: Now none of that is going to happen because, for 26 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: reasons that elude me, he doesn't understand tariff today being 27 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: Liberation Day. Who the hell knows how it unfolds and 28 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: what the numbers are and who's in and who's out 29 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: and exempted, or whether the numbers stay where they are 30 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 2: or get changed or get changed again and again and again. 31 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: But what I do know is tariffs are a false economy. 32 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: Be as kind to him as you like, but I 33 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,639 Speaker 2: can understand it. For example, your American product faces issues 34 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: getting into say Europe, and they impose, say, twenty five 35 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: percent on your cars. Japan do, Rice, India does very 36 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: lots of people have lots of reasons to protect local industries. 37 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: So if you accept that, you then place a similar 38 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: tariff on products coming into your country. It's poor business, 39 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: but it is tit for tat. A lot of it 40 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: goes on. What, though, I can't explain, is how he 41 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: expects America to be able to make anything and everything 42 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: locally and at a price everyone can afford. Cheap cars 43 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: aren't made in America because unions price the labor higher 44 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: than Asia. It's the reason Australia no longer makes cars. 45 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: So if you can't produce products that a price people 46 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: can afford, they go without. An American voter is not 47 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: going without a car. His belief that it tariff is 48 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: paid by the company and the price has nothing to 49 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: do with it. It's simply a lie and will be 50 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: exposed when the price goes up and the consumer pays it. 51 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: And when the consumer pays it, that adds to inflation, 52 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 2: which is any number of poles and surveys already shows 53 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: is expected to rise. Growth slows, prices rise, inflation rises, 54 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: growth slows. What makes us mad is it isn't new. 55 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: He's not inventing this and trying to scam us. This 56 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: is age old economics, largely discredited by the arrival of 57 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: free trade. A lot of the stuff he wants to achieve, 58 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: you can at least get your head around. 59 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: Now. 60 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: You may not like it politically, but it has a 61 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: logic to it. Tariffs in the Trump style application makes 62 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: literally no sense. And even if he could have a 63 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: third term, he wouldn't get it because he would lose 64 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: because of this sort of madness. 65 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 4: News of the. 66 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: World in ninety Celiberation did it's the Rose Garden. You 67 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: can't argue he doesn't know how to sell this thing. 68 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: I mean he's hyped it anyway. The car industry, as 69 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: I mentioned, is going to be hard hit and there 70 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: what they're thrilled. 71 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 5: We'll have to see some rebalancing, certainly in the auto industry. 72 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 5: But although this will have a short term impact, it 73 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 5: has a very beneficial long term impact. 74 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: Thinking is it's twenty percent on everything for everyone, which 75 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: would include Britain who are pretending in snow Biggie. 76 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 6: We're working with all industries and sectors likely to be impacted. 77 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 6: We're guided by our national interest at all times, and 78 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 6: that's why we've said we won't raw anything out. But 79 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 6: it is important at the moment like this that we 80 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 6: don't have knee jerk reactions. 81 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: Now the endless can't see any way this is good. 82 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 7: The very fact you're going to have potential trade halls 83 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 7: between Europe and the US, and the fact that's so 84 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 7: much trade in the UK is tied into the Europe 85 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 7: as well, will end up hurting the UK as well. 86 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: Exactly. Then you got the block of Maryland who was 87 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: rounded up and sent to l Selvador. And perhaps he 88 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: shouldn't have been. The dims making hay this guy who. 89 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 8: Lives in my state, married to a US citizen with 90 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 8: citizen children. 91 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: He's stuck with the dictator of our Salvador. But then 92 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: old Gingrich, you're a Republican of old and releasing a problem. 93 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 9: And the Democrats are more passionate about an MS thirteen 94 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 9: gang member than they were about any of the Americans 95 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 9: who've been killed or raped by illegal immigrants. 96 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: Then back in Britain are yet another weirdo doing odd things. 97 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: This time it's a funeral director sixty four charges involving 98 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: dodgy dealings. 99 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 10: I can now confirm that Robert Bush has this morning 100 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 10: been charged with a combined turtal of sixty four offenses 101 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 10: in connection to our investigation. These charges incorporate a total 102 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 10: of two hundred and fifty four individual victims. 103 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: Finally, the BRIT's are being told not to mow the 104 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: lawns between April and September. This is the butterfly monitoring scheme. 105 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: It says last year was the second worst recorded in 106 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: history in terms of butterfly decline, so they want more 107 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: natural habitats for the fifty nine species of local butterfly 108 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: in the country. Small issue. Most councils require you to 109 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: actually mullul all because it's a fire hazard if you 110 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: can believe it Britain and a fire hazard it requires 111 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: heat and dryness. Anyway, if you don't, you get fined 112 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: or charged for somebody to come along in March. So 113 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: the butterfly people are pushing it a bit uphill. I 114 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: know it interestingly this morning that Londoners have been worn 115 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: not to have barbecues this weekend because they could cause 116 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: wildfires as the temperatures are set to reach twenty two degrees. 117 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: Use the World of ninety. They also note that's our 118 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: elbows and list of Greg Norman for a last minute 119 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: plea on the exemptions. By the way, Elin, if you've 120 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: missed the news he's leaving Doge. So goes the rumor, 121 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: and on that rumor, the Tesla stock has gone up. 122 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: Our questions remain over which countries will respond and how 123 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: what the impact on inflation and interest rates will be. 124 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: In other words, market watches this morning. The analysts have 125 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: got no idea how today is going to unfold. And 126 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: more importantly, they say there will be no great detail either, 127 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: So if you're expecting great detail, you'll be disappointed. Twelve 128 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: pass six. 129 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how 130 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: off By News Talks. 131 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: Evy hold the phone. A leak from the White House 132 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: is suggesting it will be announced ten, fifteen and twenty 133 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: percent tariffs, different cat agrees, different tariffs, different countries, different 134 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: deals will keep you post at fifteen past six now 135 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: from JM. Well Padre callahergurd morning, Good morning Mic. We'll 136 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: talk about all that in the moment. But building consents here, 137 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: we still have building as much as we used to 138 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: are with some of these I look at Wellington. That's 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: down significantly, isn't it. 140 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 11: It is. 141 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 12: Let's have a quick romp through the local building consent Arctic, 142 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 12: because my one thing I have learned in over four 143 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 12: decades of doing this, MIC, is that through all these 144 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 12: big events, you know, all the liberation days that we've 145 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 12: been through, you know, the world keeps turning. 146 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: Mic. 147 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 12: We all keep living our day to day lives. The 148 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 12: economy has to keep operating. We always make these day 149 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 12: to day decisions, and it really does highlight the role 150 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 12: of certainty and confidence, But look, building consents. February numbers 151 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 12: are thirty three five hundred and ninety five homes were 152 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 12: consented in the twelve months to the end of February 153 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 12: twenty five. That is seven point four percent lower than 154 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 12: the year of February twenty four. Now, we've talked before 155 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 12: about sort of seeing a plateau in these building consents, 156 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 12: and that's still the case. There's the vaguest notion that 157 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 12: the trend is sort of slightly downhill, but there's certainly 158 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 12: no signs of a pickup yet. And that thirty three 159 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 12: and a half thousand consensus similar numbers to what we 160 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 12: saw in early twenty nineteen, so we're sort of running 161 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 12: at the same level we were six years ago. One 162 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 12: big theme that you cannot ignore at all, MIC is 163 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 12: the breakdown between standalone homes and multi unit homes. Standalone 164 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 12: homes in the twelve months, just under sixteen thousand homes 165 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 12: consented standalone. That's the lowest level we've seen in almost 166 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 12: twelve years. Because back in twenty twenty two we started 167 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 12: consenting more multi unit homes than standalone homes. It's still 168 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 12: the case. So that's sort of changing the way we 169 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 12: live really and it will change the way we live 170 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 12: over time. Now, those seasonally just to numbers, they've been 171 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 12: holding pretty steady when we look at it on a 172 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 12: monthly basis, so you're looking around twenty eight hundred on 173 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 12: a monthly basis. What is stark, though, Mike, is what 174 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 12: you've just pointed out, this regional variation. So if for 175 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 12: a look at those twelve month numbers, Auckland down nine 176 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 12: point seven percent, the mighty Waikato down fifteen percent, Wellington 177 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 12: down twenty one percent. You go across the Cook straight though, 178 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 12: christ Church down zero point six percent, which i'd call 179 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 12: that flat, the rest of the South Island up ten percent. 180 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: Boom time. 181 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, two speed economy, Mike, it's two speed economy. And 182 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 12: if you look at it on a population adjusted basis, 183 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 12: see the same thing number of contents per one thousand 184 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 12: residents nationally six point three homes per one thousand residents, 185 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 12: But in Wellington that number is three point three, and 186 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 12: that number is over ten in parts of the South Island. 187 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 12: So yeah, it's this sort of two speed economy. But 188 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 12: building consents in a sort of a holding pattern is 189 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 12: what I would call. 190 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: All right, So what do you make of ten fifteen twenty, 191 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: depending on who you are. 192 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 12: God, so many years, so many questions make Look, we 193 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 12: just don't know, and I wouldn't make the I would say, Look, 194 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 12: even the most hardcore Trump supporter would have to admit 195 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 12: the delivery policy is just a tad erratic. 196 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 3: Isn't it. 197 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 13: So? 198 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, the rumor yesterday was twenty percent on everything from everywhere. 199 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 12: Then let the negotiations begin. But as you say, it 200 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 12: sounds like it might be slightly different. Here's a whole 201 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 12: bunch of questions, Mike, Okay, a whole bunch of questions 202 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 12: that well, I don't know if we get the answer to. 203 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 12: But firstly, who retaliates and by how much? So the 204 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 12: estent and degree of a trade war? The other question, Mike, 205 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 12: do countries get together? Do they start? Do we have 206 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 12: different trade allness that come out of this? How much 207 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 12: input export substitution do we see? But what's really key, 208 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 12: Mic is how long does it last? You know, does 209 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 12: the phone start ring in the White House where people saying, well, 210 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 12: let's see what we can do. Have the markets already 211 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 12: priced in the introduction of tarifs? Mic, I see overnight 212 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 12: markets are actually higher coming into this. To what degree 213 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 12: does this uncertainty way on people's decision making? You know, 214 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 12: who are the relative winners and losers? And very much 215 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 12: from our point of view, what is hit and what 216 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 12: effect does it have? I mean, if all inputs to 217 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 12: Hamburger patties go up, is there any you know? 218 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: So this? 219 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 12: Is there no impact on the volumes of meat that 220 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 12: we sell?

We just don't know yet. 222 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 12: Here's some potential outcomes, Mike. 223 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: Slower US growth, slower global growth? 224 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 12: Does this push the US into recession? Do they get 225 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 12: higher inflation? 226 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: How much? 227 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 12: For how long do we see stagflation? Do interest rates? 228 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 12: Does the FED defer interest rate cuts because of the inflation? 229 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 12: Do longer rates actually go down because of the lower growth? 230 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 12: Does Trump get the revenue he needs for tax gus? 231 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 12: This is just this what I'm highlighting here, Mike, is 232 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 12: the uncertainty that we've got to deal with the mate. 233 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 12: We just don't know effectively, We're not sure.

I stopped drinking water a 303 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 13: long time ago. I think that had good and bad benefits. 304 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 13: I definitely started cramping up from lack of water. So 305 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 13: if some of you saw me really drink nothing, Dan, 306 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 13: I was just trying to do something to stop my 307 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 13: muscles from cramping.

And this 312 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: was back in fifty seven. As doctor called it a 313 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: urological mystery. He'd prepared by sitting in steam rooms for 314 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: hours beforehand to dehydrate his bodies. There was a rumor 315 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: that he was fitted with a catheter, but no one 316 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: could prove that. Cruise and I forgot to mention this. 317 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: Yesterday Ted Cruz did the same thing, and I think 318 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: it was twenty thirteen. He gave advice to Bookie. He said, 319 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: we're comfortable shoes and don't drink water normally. Men urinate 320 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: seven to eight times a day, so they called it 321 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: a urological mystery. Just before I lead America, there's so 322 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: much going on. Eric Adams, who's the mirror of New 323 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: York and as crooked as they come, was going to 324 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: get stitched up and caught for all of this. But 325 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: Trump did a deal, and the deal involved the immigration 326 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: business of Trump, and he said, look, let's get him 327 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: out of there. So what judge overnight has dismissed all 328 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: the charges against Eric so he can carry on working 329 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: with Trump.

It's thirty points in both of these 339 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: districts yesterday. They should have won by thirty. They're won 340 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: by nothing close. Now the counter argument is they go, oh, well, 341 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: you know, by elections as we would have them in 342 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: this country. They're always a bit dodgy. Anyway, they got home, 343 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: So two Republican wins there. The real boilover was with 344 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: Wisconsin in the Supreme Court Susan Crawford one fifty five 345 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: to forty five. So it wasn't even close. Now that 346 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: maintains or keeps intact the liberal dominance of that Supreme Court, 347 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: so it's four to three liberal. Trump supported the other guy, 348 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: and as you know, Elon threw millions at it to 349 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: zero effects. So that is a major loss for them. 350 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: Twenty three minutes away from seven gather, but we moved 351 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: the Liberation Day in the garden at nine this morning 352 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: our time. EU is going to be hit. What does 353 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: the EU do? The question once they announce what they 354 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: are going to announce, what does the EU do, What 355 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: does the world do? How do they retaliate? Joe McKenna 356 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: and little very shortly meantime back here more details around 357 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: chunky builders and the government's new self certification proposal, So 358 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: the Licensed Building Practitioners Board will get greater powers to 359 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: take action whole idea basically make it easier and cheaper 360 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: to build master builders. Boss and kit chamers with this 361 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: morning to you ding make broadly speaking, we head in 362 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: the right direction. Absolutely, What sort of mess are we 363 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: trying to clean up? Or is there not that big 364 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: a mess? In other words, there aren't that many shonky 365 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: builders about the place. 366 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 15: I think the mess is as soon as you have 367 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 15: poor practice and something goes wrong, and this is a 368 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 15: small pocket of what happens around our industry, then pack 369 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 15: it creates it's quite significant and not only it will 370 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 15: impact hormon as, it also impacts on industry reputation. And 371 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 15: the challenge we have had is the current disciplinary system 372 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 15: has some real limitations and it's very slow. It lacks transparency. 373 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 15: Many consumers don't even know about it that we have 374 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 15: a disciplinary process, so it actually doesn't provide enough deturn 375 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 15: And all this is trying to do is to improve 376 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 15: the system to a level where there's we can not 377 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 15: only address there's small instances of bad performance, but provide 378 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 15: more transparency to homeowners so they can make good decisions. 379 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: The Code of Ethics. There's four key things the Minister's announced. 380 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: One of them is Code of Ethics for building practitioners. 381 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: Do we need a code of ethics and does it 382 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: say anything substantive enough for me as a punter to 383 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: be confident. 384 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 15: Well, that's a very good point, so I'll ang say 385 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 15: it two ways. We definitely need a code of ethics, 386 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 15: so you need a standard which is very clear so 387 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 15: everybody knows how to operate within that standard. And think 388 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 15: the second point here raising mic is probably quite an 389 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 15: important point that there's a lot of lack of information 390 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 15: and knowledge. It's good to have a core of ethic, 391 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 15: but it doesn't help if ultimately consumers don't even know 392 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 15: that process exists. So in my view, many people don't 393 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 15: even know what a LBP is and that there's a 394 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 15: disciplinary process. So as much as we need a good system, 395 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 15: and you know, we need a good disciplinary process, we 396 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 15: also need to make sure there's good information and education 397 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 15: and knowledge around it. And this is where I think, 398 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 15: along with all these stuff which the government is announcing, 399 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 15: which is very good, I believe as an industry we 400 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 15: need to take some responsibility too and create some systems 401 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 15: and information which it's easier for homeowners to find out 402 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 15: that all this information exists, so when they are making 403 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 15: decisions around picking up a bill that are starting a 404 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 15: new project. They're actually making informed decisions. 405 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: Good stuff and you appreciate it and glad we're here, 406 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: going on the right track in Kid Sharma Master build 407 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: a CEO.

He's an architect.

He's with us just 414 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: before eight nineteen to two the. 415 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 416 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: News Talks. 417 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: EP Now the countdown is on Night of Champions almost 418 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: here you block out the night of April four in 419 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: the old calendar.

Posky, 436 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: you're saying, Mike, the Dems didn't spend anything, of course 437 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: I'm not. What I'm saying is that Trump and Musk 438 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: Musk in particular placed a tremendous amount of weight and 439 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: money and their reputation on being able to win the 440 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 2: race and they failed. Mike. How can the Maori Party 441 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: and their so called inquiry over the breach of Parliament's 442 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: conduct rules ever conceivably be referred to as an independent 443 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: inquiry when it's their own conductors the chorus, You're done, 444 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: you falling for the trap you're giving them the time 445 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: of day. The trick here is to ignore them. To 446 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: paraphrase Logan Roy, they are not serious people. 447 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: Six forty five International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, 448 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business. 449 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: Literaly Joe McKenna, How are you great? 450 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 16: How are you mate? 451 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: I'm very well. Indeed, now with Liberation Day and Trump 452 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: and the Rose Garden very shortly, is Italy seeing this 453 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: as an Italian thing? In other words, are you being 454 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: lined up for some some tariffs of some description or 455 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: are you part of the EU and this is all 456 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: under that basket. 457 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 17: Well it's a bit of both really, but I think 458 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 17: people here are really bracing themselves. The Prime Minister, Georgia 459 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 17: Maloney says that the EU needs to look at appropriate responses. 460 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 17: Today she was with the top business lobby Confindustria. They're 461 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 17: revising downwards their outlook for Italy. Their GDP looks pretty 462 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 17: grim in terms of twenty twenty five, and I think 463 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 17: that's going to get a lot worse if these tariffs 464 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 17: come in. 465 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: What sort of things would you be hit with? What 466 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: do you send a lot of to America? 467 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 17: Well, the total is worth about thirty nine billion euros 468 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 17: to the According to the twenty twenty four figures, that 469 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 17: would affect things like food and drink exports, wines, agriculture, cheese, parmesan, cheese, 470 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 17: things like that, as well as machinery and pharmaceuticals. 471 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: See here's the problem. This is why Trump's so insane. 472 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: What's he want to do? Does he want to grow 473 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: his own So if you grow olives in America, there 474 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: are no terrorists but Italian olives. I mean, you can't 475 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: do anything about that, can you. You can't. You can't 476 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: make parmesan in America because it's not parmesan. So you're 477 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: going to get peinged. America is going to get pened. 478 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: It all seems mental. 479 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 17: Yeah, just driving everything upwards. But certainly people are very 480 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 17: nervous here. I was just done on the Amalfi Coast. 481 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 17: Lots of Americans down there in terms of tourism right now, 482 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 17: and the hospitality industries worry that if we go into 483 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 17: a recession, they're going to lose all those American visitors. 484 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And where does Maloney say? This was my 485 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: other question, because she's aligned, if you like, ideologically to 486 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: a degree with Trump. Anyway, does she retaliate or do 487 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: the EU retaliate or does she do it to way? 488 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: How does that unfold? 489 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 16: Well, she's talking about appropriate responses. 490 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 17: I think Italy will try and merge with the EU 491 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 17: so that she can somehow straddle her friendship with Trump 492 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 17: and her relationship with the EU rather than going hard 493 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 17: and suggests that Italy is going to go it alone. 494 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 17: I don't think we're going to see that happening. I 495 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 17: think we're going to see something uniform across the EU. 496 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 16: But then we'll have to wait and see on that. 497 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yes, So if this goes pear shaped 498 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: globally and then JD turns up. So JD's done Greenland, 499 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 2: now he's doing Italy. How's that going to go down? 500 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 16: Yeah? 501 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 17: I mean jdvance in Italy. He's planning to come around Easter, 502 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 17: around April eighteen to the twentieth of April. According to sources, 503 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 17: he's reached out to the Maloney's office to set up 504 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 17: a meeting. There's even talk that he might meet the Pope. 505 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 17: I didn't realize until today he's actually a Catholic. 506 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 16: Did you know he'd been baptized? 507 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 17: Yeah, so he's quite keen to meet the Pope if 508 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 17: he is indeed up to it by. 509 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 2: Then okay, so that's interesting. But then we've got the Teasley. 510 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: How are you Tisler's on fire at your place? 511 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 16: That's right. 512 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 17: Seventeen Tesla cars were destroyed in a fire in Rome. 513 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 17: Elon must called it an act of terrorism, and interestingly, 514 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 17: Italy's Interior Ministry has urged police across the country to 515 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 17: increase security at Tesla dealerships because. 516 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 16: They may be targeted by extremists. 517 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: How many of those electric charges do you have in 518 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: downtown Rome? For an ev? I know the pope hopped it? 519 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 13: Is it? 520 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: What's the five point of what? 521 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 11: You know? 522 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: The little five phone chinkento? 523 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 524 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that was electric? Where where do you 525 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: plug those in? 526 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 16: I don't see too many outlets around Rome? 527 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: No, no, exactly. That's that's the thing. I've said. You'll 528 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: take it home together, and most people in Rome don't 529 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: have a garage either, do they. 530 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 16: That's right, you'd have to put it out on the 531 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 16: street somewhere. 532 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: So then you put it out on the street, and 533 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 2: then I don't get how was the pope by the way, 534 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: I haven't. 535 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 17: Heard too much apart from the fact that he's stable. 536 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 17: His blood levels are normal. He's made some improvement with 537 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 17: his lungs. So we'll wait and see what happens over Easter. 538 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 2: I think good luck to him. See you next us 539 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: trick at it. So Joe McKinnon's in Rome. She mentions 540 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: the tourism, which is really interesting. So the Canadians have 541 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: got this. A lot of Canadians are boycotting America at 542 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: the moment. Huge number of Canadians are going I'm not 543 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 2: going on holiday to America. The the disparate nature of 544 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: the tourism industry. No one from America goes to Canada 545 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: on holiday in general, but hundreds of thousands, of not 546 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: millions of Canadians go to America. And so that's potentially 547 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: going to be a talking point just before I leave Europe, 548 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: because there's so much interest in going on there. Finland, 549 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 2: I've announced overnight they're going to quit that global convention 550 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: banning anti personnel land mines and they're going to boost 551 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: defense bending to at least three percent of GDP by 552 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine. This is because of Russia, of course, 553 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: I told you the other day. Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania 554 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: last month said there withdrawing this is the Ottawa Convention 555 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety seven. So the whole world order is 556 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: being tipped on its head, all the stuff we signed 557 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: all those years ago in a show of good grace 558 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: and hope. Ie, you don't have a lot of land 559 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 2: mines around the place so that people run in and 560 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: blow themselves up. All that's gone. All that's gone. I 561 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: also note with a great deal of interest, and I 562 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: thought Catherine on the program on Tuesday told us that 563 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 2: the lapen business of running for president couldn't be appealed. 564 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: And yet I read overnight that the Court of Appeal 565 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: now says it could hear the case by mid twenty six, 566 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: mid next year. Now that was the case, and that 567 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: went well, there'd be enough time to enter the race 568 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: should she be cleared. Three appeals have been filed so far. 569 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: But the questioner Aubahn of Hungary said Jessui marnin the 570 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: Kremlin said the verdict was a violation of democratic norms, 571 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 2: and Trump said it was a quote unquote a very 572 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: big deal. So watch this one play out, because even 573 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: if she is banned, if you think her supporters are 574 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 2: going to let that lie, you've got another thing coming. 575 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: So the world at the moment. To say it's topsy 576 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 2: turvy is to understate it dramatically. Nine minutes away from 577 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: sept the. 578 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking breakfast with the Range Rover Villain News togs 579 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Head been. 580 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: Barney of Barrony SpaceX is pleading with the White House 581 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 2: at the moment for terriff exemptions. They got a bunch 582 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 2: of stuff in their rockets and starlinks that are made 583 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: in China. But of course I'll just relocate to America 584 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: and make everything really cheap, so it'll work out well. 585 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 2: By the way, you'll notice the ceasefire is not going 586 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 2: well in the war's ended yet while we're focusing on 587 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 2: Liberation Day, I didn't see a very interesting interview with 588 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 2: about Putin and where the war's going to go really bad. 589 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: So he's on at the moment a massive call up, 590 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 2: the biggest military call up in years. He's after one 591 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty thousand men between eighteen and thirty. And 592 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: this bloke who was in Kiev at an American university 593 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: was arguing what happened with the war, and he was right. 594 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 2: Is the initial casualties from the Russian point of view 595 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: with the Wagner people so they are all mercenaries. No 596 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: and know in Russia care that they died. Then he 597 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 2: got all the prisoners out and he gave h mcgunn 598 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: and told to go fight. They all got shot, so 599 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: no one cared that they died either, because they were 600 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 2: all crooks. Now, the problem that Putin's facing at one 601 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty thousand is their sons, their sons, and 602 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: they live at home with mum, and suddenly they're going 603 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 2: off to war and they're going to get shot dead. 604 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: And that's where it's going to get really ugly for 605 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: a Putin. So watch the space five minutes away from seven. 606 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: For the inns and the outs. It's the Bears with 607 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: business favor take your business productivity to the next level. 608 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: And then we come to the update on what I 609 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: was alluding to yesterday. This Newsmax thing. It's just absolutely fascinating. 610 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 2: So Newsmax's very minor player in the US cable system. 611 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: It's the right of Fox. It's a favorite of Trump. 612 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: Started in twenty fourteen. Trump gave it the big Tech 613 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. That was when he wasn't happy with 614 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: Fox because they didn't keep saying to everybody that the 615 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: election was stolen, so he got moose with them and 616 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: went to Newsmax. Officially, they've got the fourth largest audience 617 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 2: in cable, So that's two hundred and eleven thousand daytime viewers, 618 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: three hundred and nine thousand primers. I told you yesterday 619 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: this show has more listeners in New Zealand than they 620 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: have in primetime, and significantly so, and it puts them 621 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: behind Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. They've never turned a profit. 622 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: Last year net loss grew seventy one percent on the 623 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: previous year to be about seventy two million US. But 624 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: this past Monday they do debut on The New York's 625 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: Dockeys Change. They were priced at ten dollars a pop 626 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: end up trading yesterday it was two hundred and thirty three, 627 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: So ten dollars to two hundred and thirty three that's 628 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: a two thousand, two hundred percent increase in value in 629 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: about three days. Gives them a market cap now thirty billion. 630 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: So they don't make any money, no one's watching them, 631 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 2: but they're worth thirty billion dollars. That's more than what 632 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: Fox is worth, Fox Corp. Is worth, and Warner Brothers 633 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: and Paramount globally so most people, of course see this 634 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: for what it is. It's game stop two point zero, 635 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: and they're in it for the short term. They'll stag 636 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: it aloft and someone will make some money and other 637 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: people won't and nothing will really change. And once again 638 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: we have a lesson about fools and their money. Now 639 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: a little report into the mental health system. Remember the 640 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 2: one point nine billion Grant Robertson welfare budget one point 641 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: nine billion for mental health, and it was going to 642 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: solve all the problems. I don't know how surprised you'll 643 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: be to learn this morning it hasn't really solved all 644 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: the problems anyway. So we've got a report out on that. 645 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: We'll look at Liberation Day and what it actually means 646 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: and could it affect us and how so. Steve Williams 647 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: on the Goal he after rate as well. 648 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to Stay in the Know, 649 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: the Mic Hosking Breakfast with a Veda, Retirement, Communities, Life 650 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: Your Way News Togs. 651 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: He'd be only seven past seven. So the ghost of 652 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: labor past has come back this morning as we remember 653 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: that famed splash of cash for mental health and the 654 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 2: budget of twenty nineteen one point nine billion, of which 655 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty four million was given for what 656 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: was called Access and Choice Access and Choice Program to 657 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: improve mild to moderate mental health care. Apparently, as we 658 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: hit the five year mark, we can see the target 659 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: of supporting three hundred and twenty five thousand of us 660 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 2: is well short. They are helping two hundred and seven thousand, 661 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 2: or thirty six percent of what they thought. Anyway, the 662 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 2: Mental Health and Well Being Commissioned CEO Karen Osborne's with 663 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: us Karen, morning. 664 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 14: To you, Good morning Mike. 665 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: In very simple terms, do you think this is working? 666 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: Given you so short? 667 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 14: Look, we do think the program is working. Yes, it 668 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 14: is short of the three hundred and twenty hundred thousand 669 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 14: people per annum. But what we have seen is the 670 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 14: reach of this program across primary care and community services 671 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 14: is at sixty eight percent, which is very close to 672 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 14: the seventy percent that was anticipated. So the reach is 673 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 14: there in terms of the services being available. What really 674 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 14: now needs to happen is real focus on increasing the 675 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 14: numbers of people who are using those services. 676 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 2: Why aren't they using it? 677 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 14: Well, there's a range of factors. I mean, some of 678 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 14: them have taken time to come on stream. There is 679 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 14: also what we hear that people don't know always know 680 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 14: where to go to get the help. So there is 681 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 14: an issue of awareness, but it's also about what's happening 682 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 14: on the ground in some of those practices to make 683 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 14: sure that it's easy for people to access these services very. 684 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: Well coordinated or organized after five years? Am I being unfair? 685 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 6: Look? 686 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 14: I think this is these services that are in primary cares, 687 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 14: are GP practices, rural practices, urban practices, in community services 688 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 14: such as new use services, Pacific Services, co Paper Maori. 689 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 14: So it's very widespread and it's what we have seen 690 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 14: is really good progress, but just that really focused attention 691 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 14: that needs to happen in this next stage. 692 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: But all we ever here on the media is how 693 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: you can't get access to mental health care. Why doesn't 694 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 2: somebody join some dots and say, well, there's plenty of money, 695 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: plenty of service, and if you're talking about the primary 696 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: gere of the doctor, why doesn't every GP in the 697 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 2: country know here's the service and putting you in the 698 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: right direction. 699 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 14: And that's where we really need to see this focus. 700 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: So this review was it's it's five years. Why haven't 701 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: we got the focus? Why isn't it up and running 702 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: in you know, tickety boo? Why are we spending hundreds 703 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: of millions of dollars in something that after five years 704 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: doesn't work. 705 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 14: It does work, and we've heard some really really positive 706 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 14: feedback from the people who use their services, and so 707 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 14: it is working for many people. It's just not getting 708 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 14: to the number of people that it really needs to. 709 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 14: And some of this is the way this service was designed, 710 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 14: so having people in individual practices and having people being 711 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 14: able to access on the day, and that there's not 712 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 14: a steady flow of people always needing those services. So 713 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 14: what we also need to use some of the digital 714 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 14: virtual tools to make sure that people are being fully 715 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 14: utilized across the country. So there are some strengths in 716 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 14: the model, but there's also some areas that need to improve, 717 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 14: and that's what we're shining the line. 718 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: It sounds like complete and utter waste to me, No, 719 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 2: that's not. I mean, you know, for the people who 720 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 2: are using it, fantastic, that's good. So congratulations, But at 721 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: only thirty six percent, that's sixty four percent of people 722 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: who are not being reached allegedly, and maybe you're suggesting 723 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: they don't need to be reached because maybe they don't 724 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: actually have a problem, So we're spending money on a 725 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: problem that doesn't exist as widely as we think it does. 726 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 14: Oh look the numbers around the wrong Way is actually 727 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 14: reaching sixty four percent of the people, so it's thirty 728 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 14: six that's remaining. So it's reaching two thirds of the 729 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 14: number of people that was anticipated. My apologies, numb Yeah, yeah, 730 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 14: so the worse and delays through COVID. So this program 731 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 14: started in twenty twenty and so those early years did 732 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 14: take a bit longer to get up and running. Got it. Also, 733 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 14: we've employed or the system has employed an extra thirteen 734 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 14: hundred stars, so this program across the country and that's 735 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 14: a big uptack in terms of that resource. So is 736 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 14: what we're wanting to see is that resource being used 737 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 14: to the most benefit for the people in the community. 738 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 14: So it's come a long way, but it's definitely got 739 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 14: some more work to be done, and we particularly also 740 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 14: want to see more focus on our young people. So 741 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 14: this program is reaching young people, and we know young 742 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 14: people are having a delays to access specialist mental health 743 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 14: and addiction services, so this is providing much needed support 744 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 14: to those young people. 745 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I must get you back on again. Care and 746 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 2: because I've got of a bunch of other questions that 747 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 2: I don't have time for now. But that's I appreciate 748 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 2: your time. Karen Osborne, who's a mental Health and well 749 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 2: Being commissioned So coming up twelve and it's past seven, 750 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 2: get a little bit more China boat anks. We've got 751 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 2: this research ship. You will have seen. It's been approved 752 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: by the government. It's part of a newer research project. 753 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: It's raised moderate interest here but in Australia, of course 754 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 2: they've got election vibes at the moment. That and easy, 755 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: he said he would prefer it wasn't of Victoria's coast. 756 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 2: The director of New Zealand Contemporary China Research Center, Jason Young, 757 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 2: is well, it's Jason, very good morning to you. 758 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 8: Good morning. 759 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: So we've got two things going on. The flotilla was different. 760 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 2: Live firing is different. This is just a research ship. 761 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 2: Is this like perfectly normal and we shouldn't even be 762 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 2: talking about this or could there be something to it? 763 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 8: Well, I guess that's the big question, right. So it's 764 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 8: a research ship, it's approved, it's an international group, but 765 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 8: it's obviously funded by China, and so for me, it 766 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 8: raises the question of why people are so interested, and 767 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 8: it shows that there's a heightened level of strategic distrust. Yeah, 768 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 8: particularly in Australia, but also in New Zealand. Sort of 769 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 8: questioning these types of activities is my assessment. 770 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: Right, it's heightened in Australia because of course I've got 771 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: an election campaign on. 772 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 15: Well. 773 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 8: I think whenever there's an election, and if China becomes 774 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 8: an issue in an election, then both alban Easy and 775 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 8: the opposition leader Dutton will be wanting to appeal to 776 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 8: audiences that want to show that Australia is standing up 777 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 8: for its interests and protecting Australia. So once it becomes 778 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 8: an election issue then I think, yeah, it changes the debate. 779 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: Fascinating thing for me is we're trying to dubt out 780 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 2: being the largest trading partner and we love their money 781 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 2: and we love selling them stuff, but we don't like 782 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: them all of a sudden and our attitude to them 783 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: has changed. How do you square that circle? 784 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 8: Well, I think that's perhaps a little bit of a 785 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 8: simplified view of New Zealand's relationship with China. I guess 786 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 8: it's complicated in the sense that yes, New Zealand has 787 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 8: a very important trading relationship with China. China is a 788 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 8: very important actor, but some of the activities that it 789 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 8: does in the international system go against our interests. Some 790 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 8: of it go against our direct interests. And it's a 791 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 8: way New Zealand and Australia both need to be able 792 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 8: to manage those areas of difference whilst maintaining those positive 793 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 8: aspects of the relationship. 794 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: Jason, appreciate your expertise. Jason Young, New Zealand Conteporary chin 795 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: A Research Center Director, fourteen past seven. Pasty, where does 796 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: the Trump teariff money go? Very good question. A debt possibly, 797 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 2: but more likely tax cuts are the debate as to 798 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 2: how much they raise. They're saying hundreds of billions of 799 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: not trillions of dollars. Its delusional. Most economists say it'll 800 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 2: be nothing like that. Mike, Judith Colin shouldn't have postponed 801 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 2: the Privileges Committee hearing in the Mara Party case. The 802 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: committee should simply reach its conclusion on their conduct and 803 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: what the consequences are. I tend to agree, And if 804 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 2: you're watching Judith at the moment, you can see she 805 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 2: wants to say a lot of stuff she doesn't because 806 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 2: she's trying to maintain the decorum and professionalism and the 807 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 2: manner of the Privilege's committee while others play silly games. 808 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 2: Fourteen Past. 809 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: The High Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 810 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: by News. 811 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 2: Talks a be Dartmouth economics professor Douglas Irwin with us 812 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: very shortly too, workers through the potential outcome of Liberation Day. Meantime, 813 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 2: turns out we love a private school. More and more 814 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 2: parents lining up in some cases now enrollments are closed 815 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: until twenty twenty seven. Families are being asked to some 816 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: videos of their home life, and entrance tests are being 817 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 2: made Tougher parents are fighting for a better curriculum, qualifications, 818 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 2: smaller class sizes, independent schools and New Zealand. Boss Guy 819 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 2: at pascoes, Well, this guy, very good morning to you, Mike. 820 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 3: How are you very well? 821 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 2: Indeed, thank you Boom times. This is good, isn't it? 822 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 11: Yeah? 823 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 3: Well, it certainly is good. Full of some schools. 824 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 18: But I would say that while there's a really high 825 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 18: demand in certain areas like Auckland and other parts of 826 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 18: the country, it's not uniform across all schools. 827 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 2: I was going to ask you, is this a main center. 828 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 2: Thinks this an Auckland, Wellington Christge thing. 829 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 18: Yeah, it is a main center, so I think. I mean, 830 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 18: certainly there are some schools in the regions that are 831 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 18: doing well as well. But as I said before, it's 832 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 18: not uniform. 833 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 2: Is this a noticeable spike or what we've been discussing 834 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 2: for many, many years. There's a sort of malaise around 835 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 2: some of the public school system and the qualifications and 836 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 2: the attention and the turning up and all that, and 837 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 2: therefore you drift naturally to private. 838 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 18: Yeah, a good question. I mean, we have noticed an 839 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 18: increase in enrollment and independent schools since COVID, and that's 840 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 18: actually been observed internationally as well. 841 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 2: Oh really, so it's not just New Zealand, because I 842 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: can mount you a fairly substantive case that says our 843 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 2: public systems and deep, deep trouble. And I'm not surprised 844 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 2: at any of this, but you can tell me it 845 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 2: happens all over the world. 846 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 18: Well, it certainly was a post COVID response that internationally 847 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 18: we're sun to see a kind of a decline. And 848 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 18: obviously what's happened in the UK has had on presiveness 849 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 18: that's on their independent school system at the moment, But yeah, 850 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 18: a numbers have kind of been hovering around four percent 851 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 18: nationally for a number of years. 852 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: Who in the cost of living crisis so called how 853 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 2: do you afford this? 854 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 18: Well, I mean, that's a really good point. Appearance are 855 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 18: making huge financial sacrifices to up to send their children 856 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 18: to the school of their choice. And something that you know, 857 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 18: we are concerned about is that at some point there 858 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 18: will be at some point where you know, appearance just 859 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 18: somebody can't afford it anymore. 860 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 2: Do you get something better? And I know answer to 861 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 2: this because I'm a parent of five and I've gone 862 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 2: through private and public and integrated and every school going 863 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 2: in the country. Does going to private give you a 864 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 2: better education? 865 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 18: Well, ultimately that's for parents and families to decide. I mean, 866 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 18: there are some incredible things happening and schools around the country, 867 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 18: and the results speak for themselves. But that's not to 868 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 18: say there aren't amazing things happening in the state schools 869 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 18: as well. And we're just something advocating for independent schools 870 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 18: as a small but are very critical part of the 871 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 18: wider sector. 872 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, Guy appreciated Guy Pasco Independent schools and 873 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 2: new Zealand CEO. I'll come back to that my experience 874 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 2: if I have time, because I have a fairly well 875 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 2: honed view on that. My carwork in mental health space. 876 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 2: This woman is talking crap on the ground the doctor 877 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 2: surgeries and not funneling people into access and choice. We've 878 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 2: been assigned to doctor surgeries and neither one of them 879 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 2: would give us off a space to work from. Let 880 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 2: me come back to that as well. 881 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: Seven The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 882 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: powered by News TALKSB. 883 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 2: Now, when you're looking to invest your hard earned money, 884 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 2: you want an established bank, of course, with solid foundation 885 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 2: somewhere somewhere you might not have explored.

Housing 904 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 2: development that once again shows how reality beats theory. So 905 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 2: housing is a New Zealand obsession. Of course, we love housing. 906 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 2: We long to own housing. It encroaches on immigration and 907 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 2: whether too many people lead to higher prices. It encroaches 908 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 2: on politics and the expectation as to what governments do 909 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: about housing and the prices of It involves social housing, 910 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 2: emergency housing, key, we save, it, in comes, the Reserve Bank, 911 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: deposits LBRs. It's all encompassing in theory. If you could 912 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 2: make building cheaper, we would be keen to back that up, 913 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't we? Or yes, yes, I hear you say, yes, 914 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 2: we would. So what happened to Clevercre Clever Core is 915 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 2: Fletcher's prefab house building factory. The factory is closing. Why, 916 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: I hear you ask, well, because, to quote Fletcher's, it 917 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 2: had not worked. Demand was the issue. There wasn't enough 918 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 2: of it. If you had conducted a survey, which is theory, 919 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 2: and asked could prefab housing help the so called housing 920 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 2: crisis in this country, you would have gotten overwhelming yes. 921 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 2: And yet did we follow our enthusiasm up with some sales? 922 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 2: No we did not. Clearly, resistance from the building industry 923 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 2: is another frayse that Fletcher's uses. You see, as I've 924 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 2: said many many times, we're happy to moan about the 925 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 2: cost of building, the cost of jib, how cheap it 926 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 2: is in Australia, how much a deck out the back 927 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 2: for the barbecue is. But prefab who know? I wouldn't 928 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 2: touch prefab. Essentially, we're housing snobs, sort of like coffee 929 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 2: moan about six bucks for a flat, right, but we're 930 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 2: going to pay it anyway. Not that there's anything wrong 931 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 2: with that. I mean, if you want to pay anywhere 932 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: between ten and thirty five thousand dollars a square meter terrific. 933 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 2: But what clever Core reveals is we don't actually want 934 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 2: to save often, we don't actually want solutions. What we 935 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 2: want is what we have and like accept at a 936 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 2: better price. We want what we can't have, what we 937 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: can have. We don't want, ask Fletchers asking, right the 938 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 2: mental health then part of that program we're talking about 939 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 2: this morning is if you have low mood, so there's 940 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: government money if you've got low mood. This is not 941 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 2: mental health crisis. This is not ambulance to the bottom 942 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: of the cliff stuff. This is not suicides. This is 943 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: a few bit not having such a good day. There's 944 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: money for that, hundreds of millions of dollars. Apparently. The 945 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 2: other point I wanted to raise with Karen and I 946 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 2: didn't have time is her press release. So she is 947 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: the Mental Health and well Being Commissioner. Now I don't 948 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 2: know what these commissioners do apart from put out press releases. 949 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 2: And I've got another one coming yesterday from the Retirement Commissioner, 950 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 2: reiterating everything we've ever heard about retirement. Just again they 951 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,359 Speaker 2: employed somebody paid money that we don't have to write 952 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 2: Yet another report that tells us the bleeding obvious. Anyway, 953 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 2: back to the business of mental health. Her press release 954 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 2: was full of sproken up bagness. In other words, I 955 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 2: love what labour did. I love the spending of the money. 956 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: Now the fact that it's not quite working as well 957 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,240 Speaker 2: as it was supposed to, the fact that it hasn't 958 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 2: done what it was supposed to. That's right down the 959 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 2: very end of the press release. That's the bit that 960 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 2: no journalist is ever going to get to. I got there, 961 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 2: and that's why we conducted the interview we did. But 962 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 2: are they apologists for the government as a commissioner? Correct 963 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. I thought commissioners were supposed to 964 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 2: be independent. I thought they were supposed to hold people 965 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 2: to account, i e. The government. And just because you're 966 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 2: funded by the government doesn't mean you're a lackey to 967 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 2: the government. And if the isn't working, the program isn't working, 968 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 2: and you should be saying that as opposed to going, oh, well, 969 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 2: some people who had a very good time, thank you 970 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 2: very much. And I'm sure there is but it wasn't 971 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 2: what was supposed to happen with over half a billion 972 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 2: dollars of expenditure. So anyway, as I say, we'll get 973 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 2: her back another day and have a good old discussion 974 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 2: about that. We need to focus now, though, on Liberation Day. 975 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 2: Is a world trade war about to break out as 976 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 2: of nine o'clock this morning in New Zealand time. We'll 977 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 2: guard to Dartmer. 978 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: Next, your source of breaking news, challenging a billion and 979 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: honors backs the Mike Hosking breakfast with the range Rover 980 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: villa designed to intrigue and use Tom sad. 981 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 2: B twenty three minutes away from mate Steve Williams by 982 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 2: the way, talks Gulf after eight o'clock a Liberation Day. 983 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 2: Details of the revealed in about an hour and a 984 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,439 Speaker 2: half time Rose Garden at the White House. Of course, 985 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 2: a lot of speculation as to how this is going 986 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 2: to play out. As far as the Mexican concern. They're 987 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: not interested in tip for tap, and they look at what. 988 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 19: We do not believe in an eye for a lie, 989 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 19: for a year, two for a tooth, because that always 990 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 19: leads to a bad situation. Of course, measures are taken, 991 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 19: because measures are taken on the other side. But the 992 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 19: dialogue must continue. It's not about tit or tat, but 993 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 19: about what is best for Mexico and how to face 994 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 19: the situation. 995 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 2: North to the other border. Doug Ford, who once upon 996 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 2: a time threatened to cut the power off to New York. 997 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: Of course Ontario Premiere he not so upbeate. 998 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 3: President Trump calls a liberation day. I call it termination 999 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 3: day because a lot of people are going to be 1000 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 3: terminated from their jobs now. 1001 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 2: Dot Mouth economics professor Douglas Owan's with us. Douglas, very, 1002 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 1003 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 11: It's good afternoon here. 1004 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 2: What's your vibe? How's this going to unfold? Are we 1005 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 2: going to get specific detail. If we get specific detail, 1006 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 2: do we get retaliation immediately or eventually or what? 1007 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 11: Well, it's interesting that there are pressure reports even this 1008 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 11: morning from Bloomberg and elsewhere that even the White House 1009 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 11: hasn't finalized and decided on what exactly the tariff plan 1010 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 11: will be. So it could be there working at it 1011 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 11: this very moment. We might get something very vague plans 1012 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 11: for the future with nothing announced in specifics, but we 1013 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 11: could also have a specific plan. Basically, there are two 1014 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 11: that the White House is considering. One is universal tariffs, 1015 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 11: which would mean in across the board tariff of maybe 1016 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 11: twenty percent. That number has been bounced around a bit 1017 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 11: or something like that, or reciprocal tariffs, in which case 1018 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 11: it wouldn't be uniform across the board, it would be 1019 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 11: specified different levels to different countries. So we'll just have 1020 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 11: to wait and see what comes out. 1021 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 2: We've got a couple of reports, so I've heard a 1022 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 2: couple of leaks so far. There were three different tariffs 1023 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 2: they're going to announce at four o'clock this afternoon New 1024 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 2: York Times, something like ten, fifteen, and twenty. I've just 1025 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 2: also heard that the White House has filed twenty five 1026 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 2: percent on cars. So I don't know where this goes. 1027 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 2: What's the vibe in America in terms? I mean, I 1028 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: don't know if you realize this, Douglas, in nineteen eighty 1029 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 2: two eighty three, we became free traders, where the colony 1030 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 2: is of free trade in this country, right in the 1031 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 2: world built and so we just don't get this. This 1032 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,800 Speaker 2: is insane economic insanity. How does it get explained to 1033 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 2: the American people? 1034 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 11: Well, I think they're going to feel it very soon 1035 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 11: in their pocketbook. You know, I talked about Liberation Days. 1036 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 11: Some other people are calling it watch your Wallet Day. 1037 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 11: With twenty five percent tariffs on cars, that's going to 1038 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 11: push up the price of new cars and used cars alike, 1039 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 11: let alone the steel and the parts involved as well. 1040 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 11: And if these if we have anything like what is 1041 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,720 Speaker 11: being talked about universal tariffs are what have you. Everything 1042 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:35,240 Speaker 11: from the price of avocados and fresh fruits to manufactured goods, clothing, shoes, 1043 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,399 Speaker 11: everything's going to go up to some extent. And so 1044 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 11: it's not going to sort of reindustrialize America the way 1045 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,919 Speaker 11: the president wants. It's just going to cost Americans a lot. 1046 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 11: I think what's sort of ironic about this situation is 1047 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 11: that the American people are not really demanding this. They 1048 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 11: didn't re elect Trump for this reason. Trade is very 1049 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 11: low on the priority list of any American American business 1050 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 11: was not asking for this. They weren't clamoring for high 1051 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 11: tariffs because they're be perceieved by foreign competition. This is 1052 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 11: really because Congress over the years has delegated a lot 1053 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 11: of trade making power to one person, the president. I'm 1054 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 11: the assumption that we'd have a reasonable president would reflect 1055 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 11: the national interest, and unfortunately we don't have a reasonable 1056 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 11: administration and one person can make these big changes. 1057 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 2: This is the fascinating thing for me. There's so many 1058 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 2: shifting goalposts fentanyl and illegals across the border. Even if 1059 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 2: you agree with it or don't agree with I get 1060 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 2: what he was trying to do. I get it, do 1061 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 2: something or else we going to slackly with terroists. That bit, 1062 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 2: I get an American product into Europe gets a twenty 1063 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 2: five percent tariff, right will match you. I get that part. 1064 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 2: But what I don't get is the belief that somehow 1065 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 2: the entire world is going to relocate to America to 1066 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 2: build all their factories, to build products at the cheapest 1067 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 2: price possible, that American consumers are going to lap up. 1068 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: Because it isn't going to happen. 1069 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 11: Well, the problem is that the administration has had a 1070 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 11: multitude of rationales for these tariffs. Sometimes it's to raise 1071 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,840 Speaker 11: revenue so we can cut income taxes. Sometimes is to 1072 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 11: close the trade deficit, which the President really focuses on 1073 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 11: as his measure of unfair trade, despite the view that 1074 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 11: economists dissent from that. In general, reshoring jobs, national security, fentanyl, 1075 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 11: as you said, migration flows. So it's very hard for, 1076 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 11: first of all, other countries to respond when you don't 1077 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 11: know exactly what the rational for the tariffs is. It's 1078 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 11: also very hard for the American business community to understand, 1079 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 11: are these permanent tariffs are temporary tariffs because you don't 1080 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 11: make big investment decisions based on the whims of tariffs 1081 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 11: that could go up or down within a matter of 1082 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,280 Speaker 11: weeks or months. 1083 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 2: No shortage of Pol's at the moment, suggesting America is 1084 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 2: going to slow, if not slowing already in a recession 1085 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 2: is possible. 1086 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,399 Speaker 11: What's your view, Well, I think there's a risk of that, 1087 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 11: and it would be a self inflicted wound. The President 1088 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 11: inherited an economy and reasonable shape, four percent unemployment growth 1089 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 11: at a modest pace. But the tariff policies, which once 1090 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 11: again are coming a little bit out of the blue. 1091 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 11: He had always talked about them, but never front and center. 1092 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,839 Speaker 11: The business community wanted an agenda of tax cuts and deregulation, 1093 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 11: and they're getting tariffs, and so they're holding off an investment. 1094 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 11: Consumer confidence has plummeted just in the past month or so, 1095 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 11: and so if you get consumers and businesses holding back expenditures, 1096 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 11: this could be an own goal, a recession that comes 1097 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 11: from the White House. 1098 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 2: Waki's time. Douglas, apreciate your expertise very much. Douglas Hrban 1099 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 2: who's the Dartmouth economics professor. Fun fact, you talk about 1100 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 2: the cars of the problem. So, of course there is 1101 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 2: no such thing as an American made car. It simply 1102 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 2: does not exist. Even though there are factories in America 1103 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,399 Speaker 2: that make cars. Other bits and pieces come from other 1104 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 2: parts of the world, so they've worked out or somebody 1105 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 2: worked out the other days reading, Toyota is going to 1106 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 2: be the worst hit of all the manufacturers. Toyota do 1107 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,839 Speaker 2: things slightly different from some of the others. Everyone's going 1108 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 2: to get hit, but Toyota's going to be the worst hit. 1109 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 2: A car part on average, apparently, here's a fun fact. 1110 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 2: A car part gets exported ten to twelve times on 1111 00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,879 Speaker 2: average each part because a part becomes a part, becomes apart, 1112 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 2: comes apart before it becomes the ultimate part in the car. 1113 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 2: So it's exported ten to twelve times. Seventeen to wait. 1114 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1115 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: by News talks. 1116 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 2: At be fourteen away from a W. Kelly Echold occasionally 1117 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 2: on this program bank economist Westpac. He's suggesting next week, 1118 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,479 Speaker 2: by the way, the Reserve banker coming back for another 1119 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 2: cut to the cash rate. He's suggesting that it shouldn't 1120 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,359 Speaker 2: go ahead. So we're all expecting twenty five next time 1121 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 2: to three point five, and then one more twenty five 1122 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 2: to take it to three two five. We think that's 1123 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 2: what they call neutral. That will be about that. Eckhold 1124 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 2: is arguing that recent numbers showed an improving economy. That's true, 1125 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: also clear inflation pressures. Given the mandate is solely focused 1126 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 2: on inflation, it's hard to make the case for cutting 1127 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: rates at every meeting. From here, it's less clear further 1128 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 2: cuts would be required. From here. Everyone else apart from Kelly, 1129 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 2: including Sharon's Onna, who we have a bit of time for, 1130 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 2: also also appears on this program. In the housing market, 1131 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 2: she says, this is state of the economy at the moment. 1132 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 2: Housing market's going nowhere fast, probably not unreasonable consumer confidences 1133 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 2: in the doldrums. Yes, labor market recovery is fairly sluggish. Yes, 1134 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,879 Speaker 2: lived in retail spending is gradual. Yes, So she's right. 1135 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,359 Speaker 2: So I think Kelly's wrong. But Kelly knows what he's 1136 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 2: talking about. So what's going on there? And then of 1137 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 2: course where's Adrian and where's the new governor? And do 1138 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 2: you want to hear from Adrian. Does Adrian still owe 1139 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 2: us an explanation? Mike, why do we and the rest 1140 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 2: of the world even bother with the US? Okay, there 1141 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 2: are other countries in the world. Correct, we should just 1142 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 2: leave the US to simmer down and trade with each other. 1143 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: Over seven and a half billion people in one hundred 1144 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 2: ninety four countries, why that's simple. Matt's unfortunately completely and 1145 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 2: utterly wrong. Most of the one hundred and ninety four 1146 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 2: countries we don't want to trade with because they've got 1147 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 2: no money. The ones we want to trade with are 1148 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 2: the ones with the money. What's the most powerful and 1149 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 2: lucrative economy in the world. The answer is America. Do 1150 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 2: you know how much more powerful and luke of the 1151 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 2: American economy as compared to the Chinese economy? Eighteen times? 1152 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: That's how wealthy America is. They got three hundred and 1153 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 2: thirty odd million people, most of whom earn vastly more 1154 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 2: than we will ever earn on a yearly basis. So 1155 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 2: they're wealthy, so we want to sell them stuff. So 1156 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 2: where we're going to get hit today is on I 1157 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 2: was just saying to somebody during the news, the fortunate 1158 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 2: thing about this country being a third world nation is 1159 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 2: that we make next to nothing. So therefore there's not 1160 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: a lot of steel, there's not a lot of aluminium. 1161 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 2: We don't make cars, we don't make rockets, we don't 1162 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 2: make satellites. We're not really into tech. What we do 1163 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 2: is grow some stuff in a paddock, and it could 1164 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 2: be grapes or it could be sheep and beef. So 1165 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 2: we sell the tremendous amount of beef to the Americans. 1166 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 2: And the reason they import so much beef is twofold. 1167 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 2: One they don't make enough of their own, and two 1168 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 2: our quality is exceedingly good. The Australians have the same story, 1169 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: so we're going to get hit on beef. My argument's 1170 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 2: always been around tariff's and I think I might be 1171 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 2: a wee bit naive on this. My argument has always 1172 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 2: been at the top end of the market. There are 1173 00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 2: people at the Upper East Side of New York that 1174 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,320 Speaker 2: will pay literally anything for a piece of New Zealand steak, 1175 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 2: and so therefore you can tarif it. It won't be 1176 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 2: a major same with wine. If you sell the writing 1177 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 2: to the wine market, the person in New York on 1178 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 2: Madison Avenue, whether they pay fourteen dollars US or seventeen 1179 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 2: dollars sixty doesn't make a lot of difference to them. 1180 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,839 Speaker 2: I think we may get away with that stuff. Other countries, though, 1181 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,839 Speaker 2: are going to be far worse off than we are. 1182 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,239 Speaker 2: But we shall see how it unfolds a little more 1183 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 2: on the housing for you in a moment, tend to wait. 1184 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: For the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News 1185 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 1: dogs dB. 1186 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 2: Well, it's seven away from eight Housing News and how 1187 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 2: you can do it for a decent price. So we've 1188 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 2: got a three bedroom house built in six weeks for 1189 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty three thousand dollars. That is two 1190 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars less than the average government 1191 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: constructed kying or a house. It's been done by architect 1192 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,479 Speaker 2: Rich Nash and his team. It's called a living house 1193 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 2: and Rich nachh is well, it's Rich, very good morning 1194 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 2: to you. 1195 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 20: Yeah, morning, Mike, thanks for having me. 1196 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 2: Not at all what size is the house? 1197 00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,319 Speaker 20: It's eighty five square meters. 1198 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 2: She's a wee one. So what's that come out at 1199 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:02,439 Speaker 2: cost per meter? 1200 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 20: Well, it's about four thousand a square meter. But it's 1201 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,399 Speaker 20: sort of more about the amenity that you get rather 1202 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 20: than the size. 1203 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 2: Right, And so is it a good looking house and 1204 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 2: one you're proud of and one I would buy and 1205 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 2: be happy to live in? 1206 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 11: I have? 1207 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,280 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think so it is a good looking, cute 1208 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 20: little house. It's well proportioned, got great volume, ventilation, light 1209 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 20: and all that sort of stuff. I think you'd love one. 1210 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 4: Mite. 1211 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 2: What's what have you done it for? What's its purpose? 1212 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 2: Simply to prove that you can build a house for 1213 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 2: a reasonable price? 1214 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 20: Well, not really. I think I've just been frustrated sort 1215 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 20: of looking at successive governments trying to make affordable housing 1216 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 20: and doing it at twice what we've been able to 1217 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 20: do it, and we just sort of put our thinking 1218 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 20: cats on and thought there's got to be a better 1219 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 20: way to do. 1220 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 2: This, And there is clearly, and you've just proven it. 1221 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 1222 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 2: Is it scalable or are they all won offs in 1223 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 2: that sense? 1224 00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 20: No, it's absolutely scalable. We've optimized it down to something 1225 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 20: that is the simplest and cheapest thing to build so 1226 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 20: that it can be repeated. There's no alterations. It's designed 1227 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,839 Speaker 20: to be repeated and built by individuals or organizations. 1228 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,879 Speaker 2: Right without wanting to go too far down the track. 1229 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 2: Of defending claying or I do know that some of 1230 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 2: their costs come into the fact that some of the 1231 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 2: people that they put into those houses require a fairly 1232 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:26,720 Speaker 2: robust experience inside. Would your stand up to a bit 1233 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 2: of you know. 1234 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 20: A bit of bi Yeah, well, I mean, look absolutely, 1235 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 20: they're made of it's like a piece of flat pack furniture. 1236 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 20: Instead of the bits of plywood, it's made of colt, 1237 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 20: which is cross laminated timber, so it's too up to 1238 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 20: sort of one hundred and twenty one hundred and sixty 1239 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 20: milimeters six solid pine with that's the finish on the walls. 1240 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 20: So there's no war pave, there's no paint, so they're 1241 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 20: really robust. 1242 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 2: Okay, do you want to take this somewhere? Is there 1243 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 2: somewhere you're going or was this just an exercise for 1244 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 2: you as an architect. 1245 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 10: Not. 1246 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 20: We've started a company called the Living House and we 1247 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 20: go we're launching to the market in a little over a. 1248 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 15: Month or six weeks time. 1249 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 3: We're built. 1250 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 20: Yeah, we've built a prototype and Rotoro so it's we've 1251 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 20: proven that it can be done. 1252 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 2: And I should point out this is x Land, so 1253 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 2: it's three thirty three grand plus land, right, Yeah, that's right. 1254 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah. 1255 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 2: So what in your summation is the major issue with 1256 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 2: the cost of housing in this country? Is it labor? 1257 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 2: Is it product? Is it design? Is it paperwork? 1258 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 4: What is it? 1259 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 5: Well? 1260 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 20: I think it's the labor is probably the number one issue. 1261 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 20: A typical New Zealand house and the way we're building 1262 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 20: them out of stick timber, the way we have for 1263 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 20: the last you know, two hundred years, it's forty percent 1264 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 20: labor in any house, and in the living house we've 1265 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 20: stripped that down to ten percent. So taking the labor 1266 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 20: cost out is really one of the big areas of attack. 1267 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, go well with that. Richer wishes the 1268 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: beast with a rich nache living house architecture, texting me, 1269 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 2: so four thousand dollars is affordable housing? 1270 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 4: Holy? 1271 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 2: What are you expecting to pay?

But I can show you 1274 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 2: apartments in Auckland for forty thousand dollars a square meter. 1275 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 2: I can show you what I would regard as pretty 1276 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 2: average house, regular house you'd look at and go yep. 1277 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 2: I could I could look at ten thousand dollars a 1278 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 2: square meter. I don't know what you can build for 1279 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,479 Speaker 2: less than four thousand dollars a square meter. I built 1280 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 2: a barn relatively recently, which it's a nice barn, but 1281 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 2: it's certainly not one you'd live in. But I built 1282 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: that barn for in excess of four thousand dollars a 1283 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,919 Speaker 2: square meter. And there's nothing about it. The gay Yeah, 1284 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,000 Speaker 2: but yeah, a ritch prakkic and it's nothing about that. 1285 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 21: It just hasn't got a batler's pantry. 1286 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 2: It hasn't got a batless pens.

I've had my 1324 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 22: own foundation, which I've actually closed up at this completion 1325 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 22: of the last year, so that's been keeping me busy. 1326 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 22: I live on a bit of a lifestyle block, and 1327 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 22: you know, I do a lot of golf days and 1328 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 22: outings and that, and travel overseas, and you know, you 1329 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 22: keep yourself busy. Still a speedway, but you're content, content, Yeah, yeah, No, 1330 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 22: I don't miss the canting and all the traveling that 1331 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 22: went along with that. 1332 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 2: When you were in the moment, if you like, when 1333 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 2: it was all you and Tiger, were you cognizant of 1334 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 2: what was unfolding around you or was it just it 1335 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 2: was another day at the office. 1336 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 22: No, Because every Tiger, after every tournament, whether you know, 1337 01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 22: whether he won or lost, it was always onto the 1338 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 22: next one. And that pursuit of trying to chase down 1339 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 22: Jack's record of eighteen major championships sort of became an 1340 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 22: obsession and always looking forward to the next tournament, the 1341 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 22: next major, what course is it at. So the book 1342 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 22: actually has been a real good thing for me to 1343 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 22: be able to actually sit down and take a look 1344 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 22: at what he actually achieved, because during the time that 1345 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 22: he was doing it, there was no you know, there 1346 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 22: was very little celebrating it. Was just this relentless goal 1347 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 22: of trying to reach you know, Jack had eighteen majors. 1348 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 22: He wanted to get to nineteen or twenty and that 1349 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 22: became such a obsession and sort of Yeah, it was 1350 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 22: a really clear goal to work towards it, and there 1351 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 22: wasn't a lot of time to reflect on what he 1352 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 22: was achieving along the way, not just in the major championships, 1353 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 22: but all the other toments that he was playing. 1354 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,520 Speaker 2: And what do you with the benefit of hindsight, what 1355 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 2: do you will wait do you place on what role 1356 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 2: you played in his success? 1357 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 3: Look, you can't. It's one of those jobs. It's like 1358 01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 3: being a co drive and a ralegate, you know, like 1359 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 3: the guy swinging the clubs and that. But you know 1360 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 3: you've got to be you've got to be very in 1361 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 3: you know, working. 1362 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 22: In harmony with a guy in that and understand a 1363 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 22: guy in that, and you know, like a pro golfer 1364 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 22: knows if he has a caddy that they don't have 1365 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,400 Speaker 22: that harmony with and they don't have any success where 1366 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 22: they go on to get another caddy in that. So 1367 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 22: when you spend any length of time with guy and 1368 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 22: you have success, you know, you know you're adding some 1369 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 22: value to it. 1370 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 2: But how does that work? In that sense? If you 1371 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 2: know you can be replaced, do you You can't then 1372 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 2: be a suck up? 1373 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 11: Can you? 1374 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 5: No? 1375 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 11: No? 1376 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 1377 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 22: And look, what makes a good caddy is somebody when 1378 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,720 Speaker 22: something when it's really on the line, the torments on 1379 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 22: the line and that and the guy says to you, 1380 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:38,920 Speaker 22: what do you think? And you've got to be very 1381 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 22: decisive and give a very positive answer so that gives 1382 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 22: him positivity to hit a very good shot or part 1383 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,439 Speaker 22: whatever it might be, and not be scared to be wrong. 1384 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 22: And that's something I've sort of prided myself and that, 1385 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 22: you know, I'm not scared to change or overall what 1386 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 22: a guy says, or find a way to influence what 1387 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,360 Speaker 22: I think is right as opposed to what he thinks 1388 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 22: it's right, and make that decision be the right decision, 1389 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 22: and ultimately that can lead to you know, the difference 1390 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,440 Speaker 22: between winning a tourment not winning it. 1391 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 2: And what are you basing those decisions on? You're basing 1392 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 2: them on maths, you know he hits the seven x 1393 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 2: number of yards, or you're basing it on his mood 1394 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,360 Speaker 2: or the day, or the vibe or. 1395 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,959 Speaker 3: Feel feel absolutely just complete feel. 1396 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 22: I took so many notes when I was working for 1397 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 22: all these different players that I've caddy for, and I'd 1398 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 22: base those notes on exactly what you just said under this, 1399 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 22: under these circumstances, the mood that he's in today, the 1400 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 22: way that he's planned, how did he react, what did 1401 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 22: he do when he was in a good mood, bad mood, 1402 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 22: and all that. I wrote so many notes. So basically, 1403 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 22: after you know, probably eighteen to eighteen months to two years, 1404 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 22: I could assess at the start of the day and 1405 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 22: know what was going to happen just based on his 1406 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 22: mood and that. So I wrote an enormous amount of notes. 1407 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 22: And when Evan, the guy that I co wrote the 1408 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,040 Speaker 22: book Worth, came to my house and that until I 1409 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 22: was looking over these notes, that's sort of dumbfounded. It's 1410 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 22: just amazed that, like, you know that you would keep 1411 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 22: such lengthy notes. But basically, as a caddy, if you 1412 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 22: can picture yourself standing in that guy's shoes, so what 1413 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 22: is he looking at today, how is he feeling today, 1414 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 22: what is his mood today and that and just translate 1415 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 22: your reactions to what. 1416 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 2: That's But that's your skill, though, because to do that 1417 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 2: with Malta. I mean, that's not just Tiger. You did 1418 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,920 Speaker 2: this with a whole bunch of different people. To do 1419 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 2: that with a bunch of it, that's a skill, that's 1420 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 2: the talent. 1421 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1422 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 3: Look, it's something that's probably unique. 1423 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 22: And to the best of my eyes, I was probably 1424 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 22: the only one that's compiled such an extensive a lot 1425 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 22: of notes on people. But you know, behavior patterns, you know, 1426 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 22: and all strides of life are very continuous, and I 1427 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 22: was able to, like I said, you know, I would 1428 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 22: know based on the fact that what mood Tiger was, 1429 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 22: and how he is walking, and what his eye contact 1430 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 22: with me was, what sort of day you were going 1431 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 22: to have. 1432 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 2: Unreal Together we roared as the book even Priest and 1433 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 2: Steve Williams Moore from Stephen just a moment thirteen past eight, the. 1434 01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on radio played News Talks. 1435 01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 2: It be news Talks will be sixteen past eight.

It's like, you know, you just 1441 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,560 Speaker 22: realize that, hey, this is going to be part of it. 1442 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 22: And you know, the Tiger Mania thing got really rolling. 1443 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 22: You know, it became a bit of a circus between 1444 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 22: you know, two thousand and two thousand and five when 1445 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,600 Speaker 22: he was at the height of his playing and you know, 1446 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 22: he's a once in a lifetime athlete and obviously the 1447 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 22: best player to ever played golf and that and a 1448 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 22: very special, very special individual and that. So you know, 1449 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 22: it was all part and parcel of it. And yeah, 1450 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 22: after you get accustomed to it and everything, it just 1451 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 22: was part of the daily. 1452 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 2: The answer to the next question is a bit of everything, 1453 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 2: I'm assuming, but the mental versus the physical, because physically 1454 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 2: you couldn't beat him. He was a guy who transformed 1455 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 2: the game in terms of his discipline physically, and yet 1456 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 2: you need to be exceptional mentally to do it all, 1457 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 2: don't you. 1458 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent like Tiger. 1459 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 22: Obviously, when he started getting into his prime and everyone 1460 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 22: looked at Tiger and how he's gone about his business, 1461 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,000 Speaker 22: a he was training more than most people thought it 1462 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 22: was doable with golf. You know, golf has a lot 1463 01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 22: to do with flexibility. In that his mental capacity his strength, 1464 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 22: his mental strength, the way that he was so focused, 1465 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 22: so determined, and the way that he worked. He just 1466 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 22: brought a whole new dimension to the game. Not only 1467 01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 22: did he make the game popular from a fan point 1468 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 22: of view, but he changed the directions of what professional 1469 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 22: players became athletes. Like you know, you could look at 1470 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 22: the professional golf to and sort of say fifty percent 1471 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 22: of the players and fifty percent of athletes. Well, now 1472 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 22: you could look at them and say, probably ninety something 1473 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 22: percent of these guys are athletes. Now they train and 1474 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,800 Speaker 22: do all the different things that would go along with 1475 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,240 Speaker 22: other sports, not just golf. 1476 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 2: Is he likable, genuinely likable? 1477 01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 22: Well, I mean, he's a fierce competitor and and anybody 1478 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 22: that has as much success continually as Tiger is going 1479 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 22: to have some hats. That's just it's not just you know, 1480 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 22: not because of his personality, not because of the way 1481 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 22: he is, because he's so successful, and a lot of 1482 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 22: people and all sports don't like the guy that's at 1483 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 22: the top. 1484 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:16,719 Speaker 3: Because he wins too regularly. 1485 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 22: And you know, if you go to a tournament and 1486 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 22: you know Tiger's playing in the tournaments and as heightened 1487 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 22: his powers, you know, you realistically knew that you were 1488 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 22: going to have to play outstanding to beat this guy. 1489 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 2: The fallout between you two, how do you view it 1490 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 2: these days? 1491 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 3: Look, when you. 1492 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 22: Sign up to be a caddy for a boy, you 1493 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,080 Speaker 22: don't actually sign up. There's no sort of contract. Ram 1494 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 22: You work for somebody and you know it's never going 1495 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 22: to last forever. 1496 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 3: And if you. 1497 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 22: Spend in our world, in a caddies world, if you 1498 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,400 Speaker 22: can spend five years or greater working for one player, 1499 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 22: you consider that to be a long stint. So you know, 1500 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,519 Speaker 22: I was twelve thirteen years into Tiger and look to 1501 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 22: be honest that you know when I look back, you know, 1502 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 22: he asked me when I went basically what happens? I 1503 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 22: went to caddy for Adam Scott and he asked me 1504 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 22: not to do it was doing when he was injured, 1505 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 22: and I should have listened to My wife said no, Steve, 1506 01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 22: you should. You know, if he says you don't want 1507 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:07,600 Speaker 22: to do it, he doesn't want you to do it, 1508 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 22: you shouldn't do it. But in a nutshell, I didn't. 1509 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 4: Look. 1510 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 22: You know, it's when things went a bit Haywi with 1511 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 22: Tiger and that it never quite was the same when 1512 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:16,840 Speaker 22: it came back. 1513 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 3: So but nothing lasts for ever when you're a caddy. 1514 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 3: And yeah it was good. 1515 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 2: And is there a desire to to I don't know, 1516 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 2: make up, catch up, put it right? Yeah, well say anything. 1517 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 11: You know. 1518 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 3: I caught up with Tiger not so long ago. I 1519 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,800 Speaker 3: was in Los Angeles and caught up with it and 1520 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,160 Speaker 3: that and had a good old chat in that. So 1521 01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 3: you know, the time heels everything, it's no big deal. 1522 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 2: Really, So what do you make of what's happened to 1523 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 2: him now? Because I worry about him in the sense 1524 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 2: that he was his swing Like you look at say Couples, 1525 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,600 Speaker 2: Freddy Couples or any ill swing, that's the that's the 1526 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 2: most beautiful swing you've ever seen in your life. And 1527 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,680 Speaker 2: I look at Tigers, which is a manufactured swing, but 1528 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 2: a discipline manufactured swing that was going to cause you 1529 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 2: some sort of physical difficulty in time. And look where 1530 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 2: it's I mean, the guy's seemingly fighting pain every day. 1531 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, Mike. 1532 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,719 Speaker 22: The very first guy that I ever cared for Peter Thompson, 1533 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 22: the famous Australian guy, and I had great thrill every 1534 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 22: year at the Open Championship. 1535 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 3: Peter would attend, being a former Open champion, and. 1536 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 22: He would always meet me after one of the practice 1537 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 22: rounds and just discuss things and talk about different things 1538 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 22: that and he said to me, Steve, you've got to 1539 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,800 Speaker 22: tell this guy that's he will not be able to 1540 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 22: keep swinging like that for the rest of his life. 1541 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 3: He said, he's putting way too much pressure on his body. 1542 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 3: And of course he arguably he was right. Yeah, look, I. 1543 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 22: Mean he has had an extraordinary stretch of surgeries and 1544 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 22: physical things that have slowed things down on that. But 1545 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 22: you know, everybody's asking now the fact that is at 1546 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 22: the end of the road for Tiger Woods, in my 1547 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 22: opinion would say, no, it's not because until such. 1548 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:55,680 Speaker 3: Time where he. 1549 01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 22: Can't where he can't get himself to train and get 1550 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 22: himself prepared for a golf TOURNT where he could stand 1551 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 22: on the first tee and physically walk four days with 1552 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 22: no hesitation and be able to practice and get himself 1553 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 22: in shape to when a torment. 1554 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 3: I don't think it's quite gone yet. 1555 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 2: Amazing, hopefully amazing. I didn't realize you've given you the 1556 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 2: four gt that car. I mean to come off a 1557 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 2: tournament and just go the car is yours and for 1558 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 2: people who don't know what a GT is. It's hundreds 1559 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,719 Speaker 2: of thousands of dollars worth of cars. It's a collector's 1560 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 2: piece of car, and you've still got that. 1561 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 3: I take it absolutely. It's a great collector's piece because 1562 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,679 Speaker 3: it's the only one of that type of New Zeale. 1563 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 2: So it's the driver you started driving. 1564 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 22: Not very often, not enough, but you know, the lower 1565 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 22: the miles a bit of before that it's worth. So 1566 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 22: now I take it out every now and again. 1567 01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 2: That's amazing. And all the memorabilia that came with it. 1568 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:51,439 Speaker 2: It's do you enjoy the down memory lane aspect of 1569 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 2: it or not? 1570 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:52,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1571 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 22: So, not so long ago, Mike, I actually completed my 1572 01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 22: man cave, and so when I go into there and 1573 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 22: I take someone into that man cave that's not been 1574 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 22: in there before and look at all the stuff that's 1575 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,639 Speaker 22: it's quite a special room, and it brings back memory 1576 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 22: lane one hundred percent. And like I said, when I 1577 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 22: was working for Tiger, we were so focused and driven 1578 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 22: on the goals that he had set. There wasn't a 1579 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,519 Speaker 22: lot of time to celebrate or go down memory lane 1580 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,680 Speaker 22: in that. But you know, as the years go by, 1581 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 22: and the book certainly has helped do that because the 1582 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 22: book has been a great road down memory lane for 1583 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 22: me to be able to relive. 1584 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 3: So many moments. And you know, I researched quite a bit. 1585 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 22: I took a lot of notes while I was catting, 1586 01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 22: which I was fortunately still had those notes, and then 1587 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:38,720 Speaker 22: I did a bit of research as well just to 1588 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 22: bring up and that was going down memory lane.

Sorry, I'm getting old. 1631 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 21: Oh you fight everybody and that's our last day, isn't it? 1632 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:40,639 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1633 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 2: Or do I say, of course here, that's right and 1634 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,560 Speaker 2: everyone knows and follow it? Anyway? It went well in 1635 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 2: the end, mainly because he's a nice guy. 1636 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,519 Speaker 1: The only report you need to start your day the 1637 01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:59,599 Speaker 1: my casting Breakfast with a Vita, Retirement, Communities, Life your Way, 1638 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:00,839 Speaker 1: Tog's headb. 1639 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 3: Mike. 1640 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 2: The stadium decision is a tragedy. How is this not 1641 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 2: a bigger story? Nick, I'm assuming you're referring to the 1642 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 2: Auckland Stadium. The answer is whether it's a tragedy or not, 1643 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 2: as open to your own interpretation. I don't see it 1644 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 2: as a tragedy per se. Two, it is several days old. 1645 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 2: Three it is not really impacting anybody outside of Auckland. 1646 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 2: Four most people inside of Auckland couldn't give the monkeys anyway, 1647 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 2: because five none of it is ever going to. 1648 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,760 Speaker 21: Happen in Sex. We did actually like you do an 1649 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,040 Speaker 21: interview on it. Talk about it. 1650 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,640 Speaker 2: Year Nick twenty three minutes away from nine International correspondence 1651 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,320 Speaker 2: with ends in eye Insurance, peace of mind for New 1652 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 2: Zealand business right to the UK. Rod Little's with us. 1653 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 4: Right morning, good Morland. 1654 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 3: How are you doing very well? 1655 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 2: Indeed, last time I talked to you, you're in a pub, 1656 01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 2: you were celebrating a very monumental birthday. How did that go? 1657 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 2: Was a good times and happy ass and you come 1658 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 2: out the other side feeling a million bucks. 1659 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 4: It all went, It all went terribly well, terribly well. 1660 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 4: And you know, following that we have our liberation Day, 1661 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,600 Speaker 4: you know, so it's been a week of jubilation. 1662 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 2: What obviously no one knows what's going to happen yet, 1663 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 2: but what we think could happen will affect Britain in 1664 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 2: some way, shape or form. So to two part question one, 1665 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 2: what economic impact does that have to do? You retaliate? 1666 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 4: I think to take the second part of your question first. 1667 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,960 Speaker 4: As they say on Jeopardy, no we don't retaliate because 1668 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 4: I think we would end up worse off to take 1669 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:39,639 Speaker 4: the first part of the question. They are still holding 1670 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:46,040 Speaker 4: out some hope, having waived various kind of tax deductions 1671 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 4: for high tech internet companies, American high tech internet companies, 1672 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 4: that we might sneak under the wire under on a 1673 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:59,719 Speaker 4: few of the various areas where Donald Trump is ready 1674 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 4: to waft these huge tariffs. It's a problem. Like it's 1675 01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 4: a problem. It's a massive problem for the car industry. 1676 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 4: We don't have a great car industry, but we do 1677 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 4: produce some and some of them go to America. It's 1678 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,800 Speaker 4: a bigger problem, big down the line, even though it 1679 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,880 Speaker 4: doesn't add up in the money in terms of how 1680 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 4: much money at the moment they're making for our pharmaceutical specialists, 1681 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 4: steel and science, parts of the infrastructure. I think that 1682 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 4: is a real problem. They are the ones who are 1683 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 4: going to be here with a twenty five percent tariff, 1684 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 4: and that is we're thinking somewhere in the region of 1685 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,719 Speaker 4: you know, twenty thirty thousand even more jobs. 1686 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 3: It's not good. 1687 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 2: What do you reckon happens bigger picture because you can 1688 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 2: see it a couple of different ways. One does only 1689 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,760 Speaker 2: lasts for four years as long as Trump's around, of course, 1690 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 2: presuming that normality resumes after it goes. But do you 1691 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 2: does it realign global trade? In other words, does it 1692 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,720 Speaker 2: bring UK closer to the EU sort of in a 1693 01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 2: in a way that the EU and the UK are 1694 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 2: a bit closer together on the war, for example, and 1695 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 2: America goes a lot does Yeah? 1696 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think I think it does. And it 1697 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,719 Speaker 4: brings the It brings the UK and the EU closer 1698 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:26,080 Speaker 4: together on stuff like soft power on the Ukraine and 1699 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 4: probably and crucially on trade. If there is no difference 1700 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 4: made between the UK and the EU in terms of 1701 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's tariffs, what was the point of leaving the EU? 1702 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 2: Good point? 1703 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,000 Speaker 4: That is a question which a lot of people will 1704 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,599 Speaker 4: be asking, and the answer they will come up with none, 1705 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,720 Speaker 4: excuse me. And the second point that they will come 1706 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,919 Speaker 4: up with is well, we may as well bed ourselves 1707 01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,360 Speaker 4: in with the EU on this one. It is something 1708 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 4: which will just towards the EU rather than towards America. 1709 01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,719 Speaker 2: Mind you, I look at you guys from the outside obviously, 1710 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:08,680 Speaker 2: and I look at Britain's position in the world at 1711 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 2: the moment in relationships with the EU. So it's working 1712 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 2: it's working okay at the moment, given the war for 1713 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,439 Speaker 2: obvious reasons, but getting it being part of a group 1714 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 2: of twenty seven none of whom ever really agree on anything. 1715 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,880 Speaker 2: You're better off being out of it and then looking 1716 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,560 Speaker 2: in and dipping in every now and again, aren't you. 1717 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:26,040 Speaker 11: Oh? 1718 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 4: Of course, yeah. On every other aspect, we are far 1719 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,639 Speaker 4: better off. We've been far better off. We've been able 1720 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 4: to lead Europe, largely of Ukraine sadly against what the 1721 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:42,759 Speaker 4: USA particularly once at the moment, and we are able, 1722 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,840 Speaker 4: even though we haven't made enough of it to make 1723 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:51,560 Speaker 4: trade agreements with people with countries across the world. The 1724 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 4: only good thing we've done really is the various agreements 1725 01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 4: with you guys, Australia and India. That's about all we've done, 1726 01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 4: which is something we couldn't have done with in the EU. 1727 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,560 Speaker 4: The question, if it comes down to pragmatics, is you know, 1728 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:16,640 Speaker 4: we are worse off. We have less power, and that 1729 01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 4: plays a little bit at the moment. And I speak 1730 01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:20,799 Speaker 4: to someone who inverted for Braxit. 1731 01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,360 Speaker 2: Just before we leave, my personal fascinator, this Chay Gosneil, 1732 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 2: which has been bubbling away for most of the year. 1733 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 2: Speaking of Trump and Kis Stamer. I'm noting yesterday a 1734 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 2: couple of things. One it has claimed it as close 1735 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,960 Speaker 2: to being finalized, to the other to finalize it without 1736 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 2: necessarily Donald Trump signing it off apparently, and I saw 1737 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 2: him say it, he sort of when Starmer was there, 1738 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 2: he didn't seem to mind and didn't think it was 1739 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 2: a big deal. But three, it is suggested in the 1740 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,120 Speaker 2: piece I've been reading that Starma's not quite let the 1741 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 2: British people know what the bill might be yet. Is 1742 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:49,599 Speaker 2: all of that true? 1743 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 4: I think all of that is true, And I think 1744 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 4: this all stems from a time when this Labor government 1745 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 4: was left wing as it saw itself, and we had 1746 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 4: David Lammie talking about the rectitude of giving the Chagos 1747 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 4: Island back to people who never owned them in the 1748 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 4: first place, such as the Mauritius government, a terrible, terrible 1749 01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,759 Speaker 4: mistake which caused a problem in our relationships with the USA, 1750 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 4: which annoyed the Chagos Islanders who don't have much time 1751 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 4: for Mauritius, and which will cost us a lot of money. 1752 01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 4: I think if they could possibly turn back the clock, 1753 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 4: Kirs Starmer would do so, but of course he can't, 1754 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 4: and one day quite soon the real cost will come out, 1755 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,600 Speaker 4: and the real cost in terms of our relations with 1756 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 4: the USA and of course with China getting in there exactly. 1757 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 2: So that was where Mirca Rubio came and so Rubio 1758 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 2: was a bit squiffy on it based on the fact 1759 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,920 Speaker 2: that Mauritius has this relationship with China. But be there 1760 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 2: does it? 1761 01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 3: Mate? 1762 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,000 Speaker 2: Isn't that I was watching stam around. What I said 1763 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 2: was the cabinet table. I think yesterday I had some 1764 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 2: of the famous and the wonderful way from Eda. Isn't 1765 01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 2: How's I haven't seen it? My wife here she said 1766 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 2: it was boring it. So I mean, it's one thing 1767 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 2: to stick it in the school. 1768 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 4: I think your wife's got a point. I mean, you're 1769 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:19,599 Speaker 4: living in New Zealand. You you don't have to put 1770 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 4: up with the kind of rubbish we have to put 1771 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 4: up with as as in comparison with most TV dramas 1772 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,200 Speaker 4: these days, it was intelligent, totally written and well acted 1773 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,679 Speaker 4: and did unravel a number of things about the country. However, 1774 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 4: the only thing anyone in this country has taken from 1775 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 4: it because of the way the media is is it's 1776 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:51,760 Speaker 4: about toxic masculinity. Well, it's ignored is the fact that 1777 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 4: this program also touched on the absolute uselessness of our schools, 1778 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 4: the lack of discipline, the lack of respect of young 1779 01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 4: people for towards adults. So it's the same as everythid 1780 01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,519 Speaker 4: My people take from it what fits into that political armory, 1781 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,120 Speaker 4: and the rest is lost. 1782 01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 2: You're a good bloke. I will see you in a 1783 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 2: couple of days. Appreciate it very much. Rod Little out 1784 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 2: of Britain for his Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's already eight 1785 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 2: forty five. 1786 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 1: The like asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1787 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 1: By News talks. 1788 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 7: It be. 1789 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:32,080 Speaker 2: Apology. My wife didn't say it was boring, she said 1790 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,799 Speaker 2: it was painful. What's the difference between boring and painful? Anyway, 1791 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. Rocket Labs make rockets and Auckland Mike, Yes. 1792 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,160 Speaker 2: And the reason you know that is because that's the 1793 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,800 Speaker 2: only one. And I read a very interesting article the 1794 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,680 Speaker 2: other day Finland, Nokia and Finland. Not that this has 1795 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 2: got to do with Nokia, but Finland became particularly famous 1796 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 2: because of Nokia of course. Anyway, theres a growing number 1797 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 2: of companies in Finland developing innovations that can assist military 1798 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 2: forces and governments and preparing for and reacting to conflict. 1799 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 2: So Finland's interesting because, like US, it's got five million people, 1800 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 2: and unlike US who have one rocket company, they have 1801 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:11,640 Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty eight defense tech companies. Three one 1802 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty eight defense tech companies. Forty percent of 1803 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,639 Speaker 2: them are startups and scale ups, many growing at rates 1804 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 2: of thirty to forty percent a year. So once again 1805 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,679 Speaker 2: I ask you and off in site places like Singapore, 1806 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,600 Speaker 2: and if not Singapore, Ireland, I can now cite Finland. 1807 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 2: How is the country with five million people in an 1808 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 2: industry that's successful, that big and that expansive. When we 1809 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,599 Speaker 2: basically and there's nothing wrong with growing beef and sheep 1810 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 2: meat and growing grapes for wine, how come we're not 1811 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:43,800 Speaker 2: in Do. 1812 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 21: They have better conditions for growing gun trees? 1813 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,519 Speaker 2: It's a very good question. It's a very good question, Mike, 1814 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,200 Speaker 2: US grown and exported to Italy. This is tariff's and 1815 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 2: this is the olives. US grown and exported to Italy 1816 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 2: in curb twelve and a half percent tariff plus vat 1817 01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,960 Speaker 2: all US produced agriproducts compared to two point five to 1818 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 2: eight point eight tariff on Italian olives arriving in the US. 1819 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 2: In addition to the basic tariff, VAT is added to 1820 01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 2: the value of the olives plus freight. US olives range 1821 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 2: from four to twenty two percent, but are generally around 1822 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 2: four and a half percent. Italian customs duties are an 1823 01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 2: addition to VAT and around four and a half percent. 1824 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 2: The EU also places a tariff on these olives, with 1825 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 2: a range of four and a half to twelve point 1826 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 2: two percent, depending on whether they are prepared, preserved, fresh 1827 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,760 Speaker 2: or chilled intended for olive oil production. You do the math. 1828 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 2: Who has the advantage? Now, you make a very good point, 1829 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 2: and I appreciate Scott your email, but where it falls apart, 1830 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 2: so if you've got a tariff in your export market, 1831 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,599 Speaker 2: you want to match the tariff for the import market. 1832 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 2: I don't like tariffs at all, but I understand that logic, 1833 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 2: and you point that logic out on olives, great fantastic. 1834 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,760 Speaker 2: Where New Zealand has a balanced portfolio, that logic does 1835 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,080 Speaker 2: not apply. We have no tariffs. There are no tariffs 1836 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,760 Speaker 2: for imports into this country. We are free traders. In 1837 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 2: Australia's case, it's even more weird. There is much more 1838 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,599 Speaker 2: business done from the American point of view to Australia 1839 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 2: than Australia into America. Australia should be carved out today 1840 01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 2: because it's all of all Trump argues that he's looking 1841 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 2: for is fair and balanced. It's fair and balanced in 1842 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,680 Speaker 2: America's favor with Australia. So why aren't Australia carved out? 1843 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 2: Why do they apply to everybody? And that is where 1844 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,519 Speaker 2: the logic falls apart. 1845 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 21: You don't think he's going to announce that he's going 1846 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,679 Speaker 21: to give them some of his tariff money. 1847 01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,760 Speaker 2: I don't think so good. We can hang around after 1848 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 2: nine you want and carry some have a bet on it. 1849 01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:25,719 Speaker 2: Nine away from nine. 1850 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,879 Speaker 1: The make Hosking Breakfast with the Range Rover Villain News. 1851 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 2: Togsad Be hems my point. All the people texting saying Mike, 1852 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 2: have you seen who their neighbor is? It's not about that. 1853 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 2: I mean, it is about that partially, But what it's 1854 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 2: about is tech is about global dominance and the ability 1855 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 2: to sell stuff internationally. That's why you start up a company. 1856 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 2: The fact you've got a rogue operator across your border 1857 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 2: is it might be, you know, a starter for ten, 1858 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean that's why you enter a business 1859 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,200 Speaker 2: or grow. Mike, did you read the article yesterday and 1860 01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 2: finished President's meeting with the Trump? You said, did it's 1861 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 2: worth read? I've already read it. He's a golfer. Yes, 1862 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,240 Speaker 2: he is a golfer. He came away saying it is 1863 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 2: what it is, stopped whining about Trump and carry on. 1864 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 2: I didn't get that, and I don't think you did 1865 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,480 Speaker 2: say that. My my inference was he got the impression 1866 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 2: from Trump that Russia's in trouble and the war isn't 1867 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,000 Speaker 2: going to last much longer. But having said all of that, 1868 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,280 Speaker 2: I've got no update. Riad seemed to have come and gone, 1869 01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,160 Speaker 2: wasn't it. We're all heading to read and that came 1870 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 2: and went, And as far as I can work out, 1871 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 2: nothing in particular has happened, and we're waiting for Russia 1872 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 2: to come up with something. Last we heard from Trump, 1873 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 2: he was a bit quote unquote angry, very angry, and 1874 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 2: quote unquote pestofding. 1875 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 13: Now. 1876 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sorry, but trigger have you? They're becoming your 1877 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 2: programmed So you had enough of that story, had you, Glenn? Sorry? 1878 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,640 Speaker 2: Glynn wants to move on. Off we go, Glenn, I. 1879 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 4: Just tell what he did. 1880 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,000 Speaker 21: No, no, Glynn, Please, I really do want to get 1881 01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 21: out of here. 1882 01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 2: Why is it called the Micross? I asked that question 1883 01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 2: all the time. 1884 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:52,719 Speaker 21: I asked people ask me that question. 1885 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 2: All the times. 1886 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:53,559 Speaker 9: Sake. 1887 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 2: I do apologize for interrupting what he wanted. 1888 01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 21: To do next, Angry Trump. 1889 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's just hit the button. 1890 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 3: Clean. 1891 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 2: Please, here's what. 1892 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,560 Speaker 1: The home of big brand vitamins. 1893 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 2: Now, do you want to do it or shall I? Oh, 1894 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,640 Speaker 2: you want me to do it? Okay, So anyway if 1895 01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 2: you want, it's going to be in the Rose Garden shortly. 1896 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 2: So the White House just posted this clip. This shows 1897 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,759 Speaker 2: that Trump has been wanting these tariffs enacted basically forever, 1898 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:28,320 Speaker 2: because this was Trump back in nineteen eighty eight with see. 1899 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,439 Speaker 23: If you can guess, we let Japan come in and 1900 01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 23: dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's not 1901 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,479 Speaker 23: free trade. If you ever go to Japan right now 1902 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,680 Speaker 23: and try to sell something, forget about it, open, just 1903 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 23: forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws 1904 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,840 Speaker 23: against it. They just make it impossible. They come over here, 1905 01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 23: they sell their cars, their VCRs. They knock the hell 1906 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 23: out of our companies. 1907 01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 21: And hey, I have. 1908 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,760 Speaker 23: Tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can 1909 01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:51,680 Speaker 23: respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, but 1910 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 23: they are beating the hell out of this country Kuwait. 1911 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,640 Speaker 23: They live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait they 1912 01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 23: live like kings, and yet they're not paying. We make 1913 01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,840 Speaker 23: it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't 1914 01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 23: they paying us twenty five percent of what they're making. 1915 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:04,599 Speaker 7: It's a joke. 1916 01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 2: His voice has changed slightly, but the energy is still there. 1917 01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:10,840 Speaker 2: And that was close enough to forty years ago. And 1918 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:12,640 Speaker 2: you heard the reference to Aprah, So he used to 1919 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 2: appear on Oprah. I don't know that he appears so 1920 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 2: much on Oprah anymore. Mind you, Oprah doesn't do what 1921 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:20,120 Speaker 2: Oprah used to do. So we'll stand by and the 1922 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 2: rose go. I hope my only hope today, and I 1923 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 2: fear it's not going to happen. But my only hope 1924 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,360 Speaker 2: today not that any of this is good, because it isn't. 1925 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 2: But my only hope today is that there is an 1926 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,439 Speaker 2: element of clarity about it, so that at least you 1927 01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,719 Speaker 2: can debate tomorrow on the facts and the details. Because 1928 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,640 Speaker 2: TERRAF shouldn't be complex. They're a bad idea, but they 1929 01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 2: shouldn't be complex, but my gut says that it's going 1930 01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 2: to be a bit vague, So let's just stand by 1931 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 2: to see what happens. Back tomorrow, Happy Days. 1932 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,680 Speaker 1: For more from the mic Asking Breakfast listen live to 1933 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,519 Speaker 1: news talks it'd be from six am week days, or 1934 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:55,480 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
