1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Jamie McKay hosted the Country with Me tonight, Jamie, Good evening,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Good day, Ryan. How what's the reaction been like the

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: rural sector to the tariff announcement today from Donald Trump?

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: Well, well, it depends on who you're listening to. I

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: heard just talking to Tod McLay Ryan just after five o'clock,

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: and I've seen Luxon saying tariffs are no good for

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: anybody on the world stage. Yet I spoke to Winston Peters,

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: obviously Foreign Affairs Minister.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: Some people would say he's.

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: A bit pro America, but he thought it was a

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: good result for US, and I guess when you look

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: at some of the other countries like Cambodia and Vietnam,

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: relatively it's a good result from a primary sector point

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: of view, Ryan, I don't think dairy will be too

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: badly affected, although in sane that only six percent of

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: our dairy stuff goes to the US. But our biggest

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: market for darry is obviously China with a thirty four

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: percent tariff. Their economy is obviously going to be affected

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: by this. So really the kicker for US is what

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: effect it has on other economies or other customers.

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: I think from a primary.

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: Sect the point of view, just my take on it,

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: meat and wine would be the worst effect. You take

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: the United States as our biggest red meat market. When

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: it comes to sheep meat, it's second only to China,

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: and when it comes to beef, it's the biggest by

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: a country mile, almost twice out of China. So you know,

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: nine billion dollars, as Tod McLay said, that's a nine

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar tariff. We're better off than a lot

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: of countries. But I think we'd be better off without them.

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, the whole world would be, wouldn't we.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: Did you remember when Donald Trump tweeted on his whatever

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: you call it, on his truth social site about an

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: agriculture It seemed to imply there was a specific agriculture

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: tariff coming, and we were a bit worried about that.

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, Jamie, this is what he was talking about,

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: and that it will benefit agriculture American agricultural producers rather

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: than a specific agricultural tariff. That all understanding too well.

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: The man confuses me, to be perfectly honest, I can't

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: quite figure out how he's figured out that he's paying

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: a twenty percent tariff to put stuff into New Zealand.

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 3: I've heard all sorts of explanations how.

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: That number's gone about, but it would be primary school maths,

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: bad primary school maths.

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: He's used to come up with that number.

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: Look, I think certainly in the short term, maybe in

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: the medium term we're just going to have to put

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: up with it. And maybe and there is as once

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: Peter said that on my show, there is possibilities that

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 2: markets could open up for us elsewhere where we can

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: be more competitive because of our lower tariff freight into

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: the US. So look, we'll see how it plays out,

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: but I'm with Luxan on this one.

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: We'd be better off without the tariffs.

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Very briefly, Jamie, we've got this twenty four year old

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Megan White who is going for gold, the only female

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: contestant and the young farmer regional finals.

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: Well, the last of the of the regional finals, remember

59
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: the seven of the last of them is happening this

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: weekend down in Winton and Southland Heartland, Southland, and she

61
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: is the only female finalist of all the rest of

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: males obviously, so if she were to get through and

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: win that Otago Southland Regional final, she would be the

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: only female finalist. The other six regional finalists already decided.

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: Our blokes, remembering Emma Emma Paul one the young farmer

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: of the Air Grand Final, first female and only female

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: to do so in twenty twenty three. But look this

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 3: three first time is and there'll be another first time

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: a coming out of Otago Southland. But the ones to

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: keep an eye on, I'm hearing Hugh Jackson bay Plenty,

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: second time finalist. He finished third behind Emma Paul in

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. George Leatham out of Tasman, Gareth Gareth

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: mckirchheer out of Arangi, both second timers. Both were in

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: the Grand Final last year. So watch out for those

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: three names. And I'm hearing Hugh Jackson's the favorite. I've

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: probably just given him the comment kiss of death right.

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Yes you might hear Jamie, appreciate your time. Jamie mckaye
