We'll talk with the former 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 4: Defense Minister and the current one, the IIDA cracking down 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 4: on unpaid tax and the coming up roses. Actually, Bruce 9 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 4: Hornsby turns up after ape for a chat about being exceptional, 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 4: Catherine Fields and France. Rod Liddle brings us up to 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 4: speed from the United Kingdom. Ask you here to seven 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 4: post six. Welcome to the day. Touch the old intellectual snobbery, 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 4: I thought yesterday rearing its head with news that the 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 4: Defense Force dropped education criteria last year. So, as a 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 4: person who had no time for school and could not 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 4: wait to get out into the world, I was and 17 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 4: still am, very grateful for the idea that you choose 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 4: the person, not the piece of paper when it comes 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: to work. When I started school, certain ue well what 20 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 4: you needed to get into the media, or at least 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 4: have a crack at it. These days you need a 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 4: degree and I can assure you the quality of those 23 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 4: graduates has not changed one iota as a result of 24 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 4: several years of study. The military is an awfully difficult 25 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 4: place to recruit for, especially in a country like ours. 26 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: I mean, just what is it you're offering. We don't 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 4: do a lot. We don't have a lot of equipment. 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 4: We don't fight wars, We peacekeep and weed patrol. So 29 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: in a world where work life balance and work from 30 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 4: home and four day weeks a commonplace, average pay WAYOUU 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,279 Speaker 4: and a lot of early rises aren't exactly calling cards, 32 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: are they. So you simply now need three years of school. 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 4: You don't even need level one NCEEA to join. So 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 4: here's the thing. Some people aren't into school. And I 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 4: know this because I was one of them. Not all 36 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 4: life choices, work choices, or skills are gained by passing 37 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: year eleven maths. The military is as much about attitude 38 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 4: and aptitude. It's a structured environment. It is designed for 39 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 4: specific types of people. In places like America, they recruit 40 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: people who may well struggle to get regular work. That's 41 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: the way it is. It's a simple truth. They offer 42 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: dental and medical in a country where you may not 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: be able to afford it. They offer a career and 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: travel and opportunity, careers and trade. You may not have 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 4: even thought of here. What are they offering? Auto technician, plumber, diver. 46 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: These are jobs on offer in the military with no skills. 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: Could you do that in civilian life? No, you couldn't. 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: Being good with an engine doesn't mean you're good in 49 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: a classroom. These are doors of opportunity. If the military, 50 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 4: through necessity, can make this work. Who are these outside 51 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: snobs who still believe that exams and results are the 52 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: sole key to employment? 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: What news of the world in ninety second. 54 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 4: Of Collins on that later, as the markets continue to 55 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 4: be guarged internationally abernite by the way, the British are 56 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 4: still working on what well the what next bit? The 57 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: Chancellor has deals in mind. 58 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 5: We approach that we are taking is call headed, It 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: is pragmatic, and it is guided by the national interest, 60 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 5: seeking to strike deals with our trading partners around the world, 61 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 5: including with the United States. 62 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 4: Sakia was a Jaguar landrover who have paused, of course, 63 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: shipments to the States. 64 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 6: Nobody wins from a trade war, you know that. But 65 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 6: it's also a moment for urgency because we've got to 66 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 6: rise together as a nation. 67 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 4: Meantime, in Washington, Trump's would meet Nitnaho again, but also 68 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 4: host of the World Series Champions of the Los Angeles Dodgers. 69 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 7: The team was crowned the World Series champion against a 70 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 7: great team. The Yankees are a great team and always 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 7: a great franchise. And I guess, I don't know, like 72 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 7: twenty eight or something. They want a lot, probably maybe 73 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 7: more than any team in history overall. 74 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, that other team, but you guys anyway, whatever, speaking 75 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 4: of Nitnya, who the Middle East is busy won. With 76 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: British MP's being turned around and sent home. 77 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 8: This is unacceptable that I would like to see the 78 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 8: British government say that these deportations should be revoked and 79 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 8: that these MPs should be allowed to go in future 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 8: because they've been given an entry band for five years. 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: And then to an attack on an AID convoy. 82 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 9: Why did you destroy the ambulasers after killing them? Why 83 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 9: did you today to dig deep and hide the ambulances? 84 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: Why did you hide the buddies? 85 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: Well they're not unreasonable questions, so these relatives providing an 86 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: explanation of sorts. 87 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 10: ADF soldiers opened fire from a distance at vehicles that 88 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 10: were moving suspiciously in their direction. Among the dead were 89 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 10: six Hamas terrorists. What were Humas terrorists doing in ambulances? 90 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: And there's not a bad question either, And that's news 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 4: of the world in ninety that's gone and threatened fifty 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 4: percent on China. So we're doing the thirty four percent. 93 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: I see your thirty four. Here's another thirty four. Then 94 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 4: he's going fifty on top because he doesn't like the 95 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: way China responded. So he's busy asking for patients this 96 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 4: morning and not to be weak or stupid. So if 97 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: you were thinking this morning of being weak or stupid, 98 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 4: stop it.

But while he was there, 106 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: he was sort of he went off about the Oval Office. 107 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 11: It's funny. People come from all over, the biggest people, 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 11: the richest people, the most powerful people. And they come 109 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 11: and they go into the Oval Office and they just stare. 110 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 7: Oh, well, they all have beautiful offices. They have offices 111 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 7: that are the best in the world in many cases, 112 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 7: but they love the Oval Office. 113 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: They traveled from Los Angeles.

Look, in the last twenty we've seen 120 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 13: volatility and share markets the likes of which we haven't 121 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 13: seen since those heady days of market gyrations that are 122 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 13: now very much etched into financial market history. So right 123 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 13: now we are adding another chapter to that weighty tome. 124 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 13: So yeah, if we take a wander through the last 125 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 13: twenty four hours. We came into work yesterday with a 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 13: rather frightening honor of being the first market to trade 127 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 13: after the weekend. 128 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 12: The weekend that we'd seen the news that China. 129 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 13: Would place reciprocal tariffs against the reciprocal tariffs. 130 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 12: President Trump, well, he. 131 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 13: Had been golfing, channeling his inner Emperor Nero, who supposedly 132 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 13: fiddled while roame burned. Anyway, the New Zealand and Australian 133 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 13: market sort of played catch up and in the end 134 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 13: the New Zealand the Internet's fifty fell three point six 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 13: eight percent. That's a chunky move for the local index 136 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 13: backtor level seen in January last year. Fairly indiscriminates selling 137 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 13: for the record. Companies like main Freight edging down just 138 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 13: under seven percent on feares of lower levels of global trade, 139 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 13: got Fletcher Building, sky City, Fonterra. They all fell or 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 13: had more than six percent falls. Australia they topped our 141 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 13: three point six eight percent, they fell four point two percent. 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 12: Resources hit quite hard there. 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 13: But the truly remarkable price section, yes they Mike, was 144 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 13: evident in the Asian markets, obviously reacting to potential for 145 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 13: full blown trade war between China and the US. 146 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 12: And just remarkable numbers here, Mike. I've been doing this 147 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 12: for forty years and these were eye opening yesterday. 148 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 13: The Hangsen and Hang Sing index that's Hong Kong lots 149 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 13: of China exposure. That that fell thirteen point two percent 150 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 13: in the trading session. The Nike in Japan, the NIK 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 13: two two five fell seven point eight percent, Shanghai Composite 152 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 13: China Index seven point three shen Zen. That's another exchange 153 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 13: here that was down over ten percent. So Liberation Day 154 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 13: became obliteration day for those exchanges. US markets, MIKE are 155 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 13: just equally remarkable. The US futures trade now time zone 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 13: looked pretty ugly, sort of falls three to five percent, 157 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 13: but they then rallied back overnight in an equally remarkable. 158 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 12: Display of volatility. 159 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 13: From the session lows to the highs. The S and 160 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 13: P has logged a range of over eight percent. 161 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 12: That is just crazy. 162 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 13: Well, last time we saw that, well, we saw that 163 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 13: back in March twenty twenty. The banking sector mark that's 164 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 13: getting hit particularly hard over fears of slowing US economy 165 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 13: just quickly stepping through the other market's interest rates. They've 166 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 13: been falling despite fears of inflation because slow in growth. 167 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 13: Trump's inflation worries are treasury. US treasury markets they've done 168 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 13: a thirty point their tenure. Treasury's done a thirty point 169 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 13: basis point move. Overnight, they've gone back up. 170 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 12: That's crazy. Currency's key. 171 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 13: We it's fallen to flirt with fifty five cents sitting 172 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 13: there at the moment. If it goes through fifty five cents, mIRC, 173 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 13: there's not a lot of support until I don't know, 174 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 13: fifty cents. The oil price sixty four dollars overnight, that 175 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 13: saw it down to sixty two. I guess that's good 176 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 13: news from an inflation point of view. But Mike, there 177 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 13: is so much going on it's just chan to keep. 178 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 4: Up, isn't that true? I saw the Australian dollar at 179 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: fifty nine. I saw oil below sixty for a while there, 180 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: So what I mean, we know it's striving it. But 181 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: this is weird, isn't it? Because you can explain the GFC, 182 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 4: and you can explain COVID, but how do you explain him. 183 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 13: Look, I'll just make a few comments, Mike, every celler 184 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 13: for this nature sort of feels different. 185 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 12: I've seen a few. 186 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 13: Look over the last hundred years, we've seen bear markets 187 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 13: in the s and P five hundred I think sort 188 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 13: of about fifteen times. 189 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 12: So they happen. 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 13: These things do happen. They're part of the financial market experience. 191 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 13: But if I look to say, March twenty twenty, another 192 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 13: difficult time peak COVID uncertainty. Look, it did become evident 193 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 13: then that there was going to be a reason the 194 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 13: coordinated global response fiscal monetary policy could be applied. This 195 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 13: sort of own goal of a sell off doesn't have 196 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 13: an easily identifiable circuit breaker, and compounding the issue, Mike, 197 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 13: I mean, I hate to say it, but the US government, 198 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 13: the US administration now has a credibility issue because those 199 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 13: tariff calculations were nonsensical. So I ask you the question, 200 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 13: how does a rational considered administration respond? And I think 201 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 13: that's the conversation going on around the world. 202 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: Now. 203 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 13: Look, my simple view, Mike is I don't think you 204 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 13: as important. Tariffs can be negotiated away. I think President 205 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 13: Trump has committed, but I think they can be lowered 206 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 13: and the effects can be mitigated. So we'll talk about 207 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 13: this through the week. Right now, Investors, unfortunately, they just 208 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 13: need to be patient. 209 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: Right, brace yourself. Here they come numbers, There we go. 210 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 12: This is the crazy thing that Dow Jones is up. 211 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: Is up? 212 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 13: No, it's down sixty one points at the moment, so 213 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 13: it's barely moved. Actually, the S and P five hundred 214 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 13: is up half a percent and the Nasdaq is up 215 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 13: over one percent. But this is very much a point 216 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 13: in time. Anything could happen between now and when they close. 217 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 13: The forty one hundred down three hundred and fifty three points. 218 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 13: That's four point four percent the nick as I said, 219 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 13: down two thousand, six hundred and forty four points seven 220 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 13: point eight percent. Shangha composite down seven point three percent, 221 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 13: three or nine six The Aussi's yesterday closed at seven 222 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 13: three four to three, four point two percent four n 223 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 13: sex fifty three point six eight percent fall eleven thousand, 224 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 13: seven hundred and seventy five yar point five five four 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 13: nine point nine, two four seven against the ossie point 226 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 13: five oh seven against the Euro, point four to three, 227 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 13: four to seven against the pound, eighty two point one 228 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 13: against Japanese yen gold two thousand, nine hundred and seventy 229 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 13: two dollars and break cridge actually tipped back up sixty 230 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 13: five dollars and six cents. But yeah, crazy times, Mike, unreal. 231 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 4: Mate, appreciate time. Andrew kelleher joemiwealth dot co dot in zac, 232 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: I cannot he use offering the US to drop tariffs 233 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 4: on industrial goods, very good pudding, andy and Catherine's all 234 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: over that will go to her shortly back home. I 235 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 4: note the blueberry groves are celebrating. Is there anyone who 236 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 4: grew anything over summer that hasn't had a bump of season? 237 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: So one hundreds of tons, We're up at about four 238 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: thousand tons at Nationally, Northland's up sixty percent. Ninety percent 239 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 4: of the stuff goes to Australia, which surprised me. Why 240 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 4: don't we sell more locally neat more blue but min Jo, 241 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: I haven't had problems getting blueberries over some anyway. It's 242 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: another crop blueberries that is going gangbusters. More acreage, more growers, 243 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 4: more results, more sales for the country. Six twenty one 244 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: who refused talk said. 245 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 246 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: by the News Talks, It'd. 247 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: Be very pleased to see you liking the defense. Judith 248 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: Collins with us later couldn't agree more, Mike. In reality, 249 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 4: most university degrees do nothing to advance an individual's basability 250 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: or attitude. The key is to have a role in life. 251 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 4: Of the military fills that role. I'm all for it, Mike. 252 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 4: I joined the Navy in nineteen seventy nine no qualifications. 253 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 4: It gave me a chance to get my life on track. 254 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 4: I left with a new found confidence. Isn't that good? 255 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: Six twenty five trending now with chemist Well's keeping Kiwi's healthy. 256 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: All year round. 257 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: The much hyped White Lotus finale dropped yesterday afternoon. If 258 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: you haven't seen it, brace for detail. Rick and Chelsea 259 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 4: boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. They 260 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: die in a shootout and they so go back to 261 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 4: the beginning of the series of the Lord of Bang 262 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 4: Bang Bang. What was that? It was the shootout, not 263 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 4: before Rick kills the owner of the resort, Jim, because 264 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: he thinks he's killed as dad. But twist turns out 265 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 4: Jim was his dad all along. She's yelling, the wife 266 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 4: is yelling, he is your father. 267 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 12: He is your father. 268 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 4: The internet you can tell I watched it. The internet 269 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 4: has shocked. But for some reason, Katie told me that 270 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 4: is exactly what would happen. She said it was obvious 271 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 4: he was his father anyway. Walter Goggins, he was on 272 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 4: CBS couple of hours ago, talked about all the theories. 273 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 14: All of us, you know, kind of being out in 274 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 14: the world, had to listen to had the good fortune 275 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 14: of listen to people tell us their version of his 276 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 14: story out on the street, and I had my fair share, 277 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 14: and I just listened to them the way that I 278 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 14: listened to Sam rockwellhow at episode five, without judgment and 279 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 14: just nodding his reaction to the Jimers' dad revealtending that 280 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 14: that is where we were headed. That's the Mount Everest 281 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 14: that we were climbing. I knew that it was going 282 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 14: to be a very patient, slow walk to get to 283 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 14: that point. And I sympathize so greatly with Rick's pain 284 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 14: because his entire life story was defined by this event 285 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 14: and the genius of Mike White. In that revelation, Rick 286 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 14: only has a couple of seconds to register it before 287 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 14: he is being fired at UH. 288 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: He says, not a single person picked the ending, which, 289 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: as I've just suggested to you, isn't true. My wife did. 290 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: She saort of along The overarching theme of it, the 291 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: Mike White theme is money ruins you. I won't tell 292 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: you any more of the dear, but there's a couple 293 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: of scenarios where people end up with money or fortune 294 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: or good opportunity and it sort of ruins them as people. 295 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 4: I think that's the overarching thing. The other thing I 296 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: read yesterday They talked about Sam Rockwell, who was very 297 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: very good, but apparently U Harrelson Woody Harrelson was going 298 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 4: to play that part. Perhaps me doctor White Lotus. I 299 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: gave it six seven out of ten something like that. 300 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: Bruce Hornsby. After eight O'CLOCKY. 301 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: Setting me agenda and talking the big issues the Mic 302 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: Hosking breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate. Your local experts across residential, commercial, 303 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: and rural news togs had been this. 304 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 4: Is why this thing is such a mess. When Andrew 305 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 4: was on fifteen twenty minutes ago, the market was flat. 306 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 4: It's now down two hundred and thirty, two hundred and forty. 307 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 4: It was down three hundred and something a couple of 308 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: seconds ago. The reason I mentioned this is in Europe, 309 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: I can't work out what's going on. So the EU 310 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 4: were looking for retelliatory tariffs. Fair enough, that's later on 311 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: this week. Paris wants to hit the services sector. But 312 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 4: then the EU is offering some sort of removal on 313 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: industrial tariffs. So where are they at. Then you come 314 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: to Navarro this morning, Vietnam, as we discussed yesterday on 315 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: the program, because that's where Nike and Carwall are. They 316 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 4: got hit with massive tariffs. Vietnam goes right zero, it 317 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: is Navarro goes zero. That's not enough. It's the tariff 318 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: cheating that matters. What the hell does that mean for 319 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: goodness sake? Twenty three to seven. Now, my idea is 320 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: having a very successful time of it. They're cracking down 321 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 4: on people who own money and finding quite a lot 322 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 4: of it. In the six months to December, thirty six 323 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 4: hundred audits were open. That's a fifty percent increase on 324 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 4: the year prior. As a result, they've collected an extra 325 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 4: six one hundred million dollars to Lloyd tax partner. Robin 326 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 4: Walker's back with us, Robin Morning, Good morning. I was 327 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: surprised that the numbers yesterday and won the audits and 328 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: be the amount of money they found wire you, I mean, 329 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 4: is this something? Why haven't they been doing this all along? 330 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 15: Well, that's a very good question. So there was a 331 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 15: period when a lenner of new was introducing its new 332 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 15: computer system, which was basically immediately followed by COVID, where 333 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 15: their attention was diverted elsewhere. And so this is really 334 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 15: a return to the days of old where we've got 335 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 15: investigators out there, you know, shaking people down trying to 336 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 15: find all about unpaid tax Is. 337 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: This avoidance or evasion? I mean, are these people going 338 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 4: I didn't realize, I'm sorry, versus are yeah, you got me. 339 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 7: Oh. 340 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 15: It can be a whole mix of things. So a 341 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 15: lot of compliance can be innocent. So it's just a 342 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 15: misunderstanding about how the tax rules. Taxpayers and iod can 343 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 15: have different. 344 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 16: Views on things. 345 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 15: Some of it will be deliberate, and that's where you'll 346 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 15: see Inland Revenue targeting particular sectors and focusing on areas 347 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 15: to try to find those non compliant taxpayers. 348 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 4: Do they take the money if it means the business 349 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 4: goes to the wall? We you see businesses liquid. 350 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 15: Certainly Inland Revenues increased reported that they've increased the number 351 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,959 Speaker 15: of liquidations that they've undertaken. 352 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: And the other. 353 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 15: Interesting thing which they've noted in their press release is 354 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 15: that they are looking at what assets does the taxpayer 355 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 15: have available to them and if they've got money that 356 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 15: or assets that they could be selling or refinancing to 357 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 15: pay their tax bill. They're saying sell those assets because 358 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 15: you owe the taxpayers. 359 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 4: Al me as an expert, they can legally do that 360 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: if entity A owes money, but I've got entity B 361 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: and C. They can force me to do something with 362 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 4: B and C to settle A. 363 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 15: Well, they can force they can do things to taxpayer 364 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 15: A to encourage them to find the money to resolve that. 365 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 15: So they can have a more heavy handed approach to 366 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 15: collecting debt, or they can be more lenient and enter 367 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 15: into installment arrangements and make life a that easier for people. 368 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 15: So there's a range, and generally the more cooperative a 369 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 15: taxpayer is, the nicer I ad will be in return. 370 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 4: Okay, is this low hanging fruit, the six hundred million 371 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: and they're going to be working hard from here? Is 372 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 4: this just riches galore? 373 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 15: I think because we've had this period of not seeing 374 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 15: a lot of audits, there's sort of a lot of 375 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 15: fruit to be picked at the moment, but there's you know, 376 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 15: you'll reach the point of diminishing returns at the moment. 377 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 15: There's plenty of you know, cushions to look behind to 378 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 15: find things, but you know at some point that won't 379 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 15: necessarily be the case. I mean, I've done a little 380 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 15: back of the envelope calculation, which may or may not 381 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 15: be accurate. 382 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 17: That's six hundred million, I think. 383 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 15: Looks to be about eleven dollars for every dollar that's invested, 384 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 15: so very good return on their investment. Historically, in Land, 385 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 15: revenue clicks around about eight dollars for every dollar that 386 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 15: they spend on investigation activity. So you know it's well 387 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 15: worth the efforts. So long as you know, like I said, 388 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 15: you get to the point of diminishing returns. 389 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 4: Great stuff, Robin, Appreciate your insight, Robin Walker, who's with 390 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: the Deloitte Deloittes tax partner.

I'd go looking personally at the 393 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 4: bubble tea. You've seen how many bubble tea places there 394 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 4: are around that can't be legit nineteen minutes away from seven, 395 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 4: season White Lotus was average. Yeah, I tend to agree. 396 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 4: I'd them are three seasons. I'd rate two the best one, 397 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: the second best, in season three the third best. Very 398 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 4: good question, Mike, If Terra free trade is so beneficial, 399 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 4: why aren't all countries implementing terror free trade?

They're everywhere. That's 404 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 4: not a bad point, although I would argue there's more 405 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 4: demand for nail bars. And I've lived with women believing 406 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 4: and there's demand for nail bars. I've never lived with 407 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: a woman who likes bubble tea, but I've lived with one. 408 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 18: I've got two women in my house.

So you guys, 424 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 4: EU go reteliatory later on this week. Yet at the 425 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 4: same time you're offering the removal of industrial tariffs, and 426 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 4: Paris wants to whack the services is Paris out of 427 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: line with the EU. Is the EU retelliatory or wanting 428 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 4: to negotiate? What's going on? 429 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 19: Well, good morning, Mike. Lots of questions in there. Let's 430 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 19: unpack a few of them. First of all, the EU 431 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 19: is still trying to work out what is going on. 432 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 19: I are these tariffs here to stay? Are this current 433 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 19: American administration is trying to re engineer the global trading system? 434 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 19: Or is it just a negotiating technic? So for the meantime, 435 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 19: they're all talking tough, but still trying to find out 436 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 19: if there's any room whatsoever for negotiations any way forward 437 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 19: without some sort of huge, you know, robust countermeasures. Now, 438 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 19: in the last couple of hours, we have discovered that 439 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 19: the European Union a sort of vonderlion and the Trade 440 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 19: Commissioner put forward back in February mid February and offered 441 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 19: to the American administration to have zero tariffs, reciprocal zero tariffs. 442 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 19: They haven't heard back from that the EU has said 443 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 19: that still remains on the table. They would prefer that 444 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 19: to be the way forward, but nevertheless, they are going 445 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 19: to be looking at some sort of retaliation. They're going 446 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 19: to be looking again at goods and services just to 447 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 19: see what they can have up their sleeve. If this 448 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 19: twenty percent tariff which has been announced comment to fact 449 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 19: against European Union, whether that stays in place. So that's 450 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 19: where we are what countermeasures ready to go, but hoping 451 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 19: that the differences will narrow. Now when it comes to services, Mike, 452 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 19: this is where everyone sort of gets to forgets a 453 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 19: bit about what's going on. We hear all the time 454 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 19: that the EU has a good surplus for around three 455 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 19: hundred and ten billion New Zealand dollars with US, but 456 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 19: in fact, when it comes to services, there's a deficit 457 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 19: of about two hundred and twenty New Zealand billion New 458 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 19: Zealand dollars. So what France, Germany and Austria is saying 459 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 19: is let's keep this while on our house sleeves. Let's 460 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 19: hit back at big tech. Now that means heading back 461 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 19: at the giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google. These 462 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 19: are all big players when it comes to Europe so 463 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 19: you can start finding them, for example, violating digital competition rules, 464 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 19: all sorts of things like that and making it more difficult. 465 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 19: For example, we've spoken about this before X what used 466 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 19: to be known is Twitter, of course is already in 467 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 19: breach of content moderation rules and there's set to have 468 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 19: a fine of about six percent of the of its 469 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 19: global turnovers. So the France particularly and Germany is looking 470 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 19: at that as a way of saying, listen, you know, 471 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 19: when it comes to services, we've got a little bit 472 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 19: of our sleeves. 473 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. Is everybody in lockstep in the EU as much 474 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 4: as the EU can be in lockstep? Or has everyone 475 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 4: got their own plan? 476 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 19: Everyone's in lockstit when it says let's just wait and 477 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 19: see how this is going to shake down. I mean, 478 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 19: there's that old quote never interrupt your enemy when he 479 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 19: is making a mistake, because they all realize that this 480 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 19: is a big mistake being made, or they think this 481 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 19: is a big mistake being made by Donald Trump. 482 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 12: So let's just let it. 483 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 19: All continue working its way down there. When it comes 484 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 19: to other matters, say, for example, on attacking services, here 485 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 19: was sing a bit of divergence particular when it comes 486 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 19: to Ireland because Island has been huge, Yeah, huge in Ireland. 487 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 19: They've really made so much of their economy based on 488 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 19: things like Apple, Microsoft to Amazon. They're saying, whoa, wait 489 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 19: until we're way further down the line before you start 490 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 19: talking about this. But of course, French President Emmanuel mac 491 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 19: cron just immediately after these tariffs were announced, Mike, he 492 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 19: got around the table at the Elitesa Palace a lot 493 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 19: of the French industry leaders and said, hey, if you've 494 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 19: got any investment going into the US and you can 495 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 19: stop it, stop it now. 496 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. Interesting, just give us a quickly on Marine La 497 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 4: penn forgetting. Of course, she's a convicted in Beezler, she 498 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 4: still seems to be moderately politically popular. Where does this go? 499 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 19: Okay? Well, she put it forward to the courts for 500 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 19: an appeal, putting a lot of pressure on the judges. Interestingly, 501 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 19: the three judges that handed down that decision against her 502 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 19: last week, that guilty verdicts, they are now under police 503 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 19: protection because there are concerns that she's whipping up her 504 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 19: supporters and just making it very difficult for when it 505 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 19: comes to the safety of these judges. As putting judges 506 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 19: in an impossible position. She had a sparsely attended valley 507 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 19: here in Paris on Sunday. Essentially, she's saying it's a 508 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 19: witch hunt and that you're going around saying people are 509 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 19: more important than the judges and it's up to the 510 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 19: people to decide. 511 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 4: Okay, Doky, I'm glad we got you on board. Catherine, 512 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 4: appreciate it very much. The attendance, they were expecting hundreds 513 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 4: of thousands. They got thousands, but not the sort of 514 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 4: numbers they were expecting, So it'll be interesting to see 515 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 4: where that goes. Right ten minutes away from seven. 516 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: The mic asking breakfast with the range rover Villa News. 517 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: Talks dead be Mike Terrif free trade is so beneficial, 518 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 4: why aren't all countries implementing terra free trade? Very good question. 519 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: We certainly don't have one with Europe. 520 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 3: No, we do not. 521 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: We have a very good one with the UK, very 522 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 4: good one with the UAE, very good one with China. 523 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 4: The reason we don't have free trade all over the 524 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: world is simply politics. The French farmer cannot raise a 525 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 4: cow or a sheep, or make milk or cheese in 526 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 4: a way that's remotely efficient, and so they go to 527 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: the government, and they go, unless you protect us, unless 528 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 4: you give us a false economy, you hand out some 529 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: free money to us, we will not vote for you. 530 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 4: And that's called lobbying. And the lobbying industry is massive, 531 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 4: and that's how it works. So even if you're good 532 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 4: at something, it doesn't mean you can land your product 533 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 4: terrif free. And that, unfortunately, is everything that's wrong with trade. 534 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 4: Six Away from seven. 535 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: All the ins and the outs, it's the fizz with 536 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: business fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 537 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 4: Right from our what to do or not to do 538 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: on Holiday file, We've got a company called Radical Storage 539 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 4: whove analyze this morning over ninety five thousand visitor reviews 540 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 4: of more than two hundred the world's most visited attractions, 541 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 4: and they'd come up with their top ten most disappointing 542 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: tourist hotspots. So we'll go ten through one. National Air 543 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: and Space Museum in Washington is number ten. Very disappointing, 544 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 4: it's outdated, it's overcrowded, it's overrated. Nine Top Copy Palace 545 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: in a Standbull, high entry fee, palace, beautiful, just a 546 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 4: little spinny. The Gardland Park in Italy, that's number eight. 547 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 4: It's a massive theme park alongside a water park and 548 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: an aquery and three hotels. So as with any of 549 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 4: the theme parks, you've got long queues and high prices. 550 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 4: There the negatives. So you don't like a queue and 551 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 4: you don't like the prices. That makes it the eighth 552 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 4: most disappointing wonder of the world. Seven the Guinness Storehouse 553 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 4: in Ireland. I mean that even sounds disappointing, doesn't it. 554 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 4: It's just it's a storehouse and it's got Guinness in it. 555 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 4: I mean, go to a pub if you like your Guinness. 556 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: A bit boring, they say, especially if you're interested in beer, 557 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 4: or if you're not interested in beer, it's really boring. 558 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 4: Horseshoe Casino in Vegas is the sixth most disappointing. Why 559 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 4: because it's the only three star hotel in Vegas. So 560 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 4: she's down at hill, so why would you bother five? 561 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 4: And I agree with this wholeheartedly. The Trivia Fountain in Rome. 562 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: It's overcrowded, overrated, and way smaller than you think. As 563 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 4: I wandered around the corner and I saw it, I thought, 564 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 4: oh my god, what are all these people doing there? 565 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 4: There were so many people who didn't even see the fountain. 566 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: It's so small. Four the time out market in Lisbon, Portugal. 567 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 4: It's overpriced, it's overcrowded. It's also not suited to vegetarians. 568 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: But I mean, you can say that about a lot 569 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 4: of the world, really, can't you. I mean, this tremendous 570 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: amount of world is suited to vegetarians. Sion Park in Tenna, 571 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 4: tena Reefee and Tenner Reefee known as the world's best 572 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 4: water park. Apparently it's not. They lied to the Shedsinye 573 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 4: Baths and paul In Buddha Pest. It's the world's largest 574 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 4: medicinal bath in Europe. So now the problem with that, 575 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with the medicinal bath. It's just so 576 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 4: big that hundreds of thousands of other people want to 577 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 4: be in it with you, and that's disgusting. And the 578 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: most disappointing attraction in the world is Alton Towers in 579 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 4: the UK. That is right biggest theme park. Forty nine 580 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 4: percent of reviews a negative, compared with an average of 581 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 4: only eleven percent for the other attractions. People hate the 582 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 4: cost and they say the customer service is crap. It's 583 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 4: absolutely crap, right, Our former Defense minister Ron Mark. I'm 584 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 4: assuming he is pleased by what was announced yesterday. There 585 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 4: is the question around the billions and billions of dollars 586 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: I thought last time, I look, we didn't have any money. 587 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 4: But we'll deal with Judith Collins on that. But Ron Mark, 588 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 4: former Defenseman. After the News, which. 589 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: Is next, the Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to Stay in 590 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: the Know, The Mic Hosking Breakfast with Vida, Retirement Communities, 591 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: Life Your Way News, togs Head be past seven. 592 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 4: Just keeping an eye on the White House, NITNYA, who's there. 593 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 4: They've just canceled the press conference, which is never a 594 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 4: good sign. They look like they'll speak from the yellow chairs, 595 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 4: which is limited questions, So I don't know whether anything's 596 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 4: gone wrong there, but will keep you posted obviously. Now 597 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 4: back home, What a day for the military. It's all 598 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 4: onto the tune of billions over the next handful of 599 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: years as the government looks to return us to some 600 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 4: sort of operative credibility twelve billion over four years by 601 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight, spending at a credible two percent about GDP. 602 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 4: Former Defence Minister Ron Mike with us Ron Morning, Good morning, Mike, 603 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 4: how are you very well?

And I have no doubt Beautith 609 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 20: Collins has been very grateful for support of Winston Peters. 610 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 4: So you're saying Peter's an active nudge National in this way. 611 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 20: Well, I think it's very clear if you go right 612 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 20: back to where they were when they started. And you know, 613 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 20: I've always expressed disappointment that the past Nationals had to 614 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 20: have of writing wonderful plans. But you know, as we 615 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 20: used to say in the Diving World, plan to dive 616 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 20: and dive the plans. The plan's not worth anything if 617 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 20: you don't an act and the naval look with money. 618 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 20: And this time you know they have all all three 619 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 20: of them have come out a guns blazing so to speak, 620 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 20: and put the money and they're put up This. 621 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 4: Plays well where their allies. 622 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 20: Oh look, this will play well with our strategic partners globally. 623 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 20: I mean I'm thinking right now us seeing in FPDA 624 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 20: and the Endo Pacific, I'm thinking of security comfort. There 625 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 20: will be the South Pacific cleense Minister. It will get 626 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 20: five eyes also and NATO can't forget NATO. But it's 627 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 20: also going to enhance the Prime Minister and the Minister 628 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 20: Foreign Affairs ability to to caure our economic cuty. You 629 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 20: can't have prosperity without security, and right now we're living 630 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 20: in any possibly the most insecure times that we've seen 631 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 20: since the Second World War. 632 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 4: Do you worry about the big picture of labor and 633 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 4: the Greens get back in they're a bit anti military 634 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 4: or is this bulletproof not? 635 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 3: Do you? 636 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 21: Yeah? 637 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 20: I do, Mike, and I think the thing I learned, 638 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 20: if you want to make your capability plan bulletproof, you 639 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 20: get the contracts done and just as fast as you 640 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 20: possibly can, and then it makes it very hard for 641 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 20: them to turn things around. I think it's going to 642 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 20: put labor in a bit of a buying because they 643 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 20: made a lot of fuss about the fact that you're 644 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 20: under their watch. They did all this investment. Well, you know, 645 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 20: they had their firmly shoved up their back, let's be 646 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 20: clear about that. But it's something different when you look 647 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 20: at their track report between twenty twenty when they had 648 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 20: ultimate power themselves in twenty twenty three, they squashed pretty 649 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 20: much everything that I had lined up for the next 650 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 20: Trianium and that set us backwards. So what this announcement 651 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 20: does is it reached addresses that failure of that three years, 652 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 20: that accelerates forward within twelve billion as was it nine 653 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 20: billion going over the next four years, No, twelve billion 654 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 20: over the next four years and nine billion dollars of 655 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 20: new money. The real consc is going to come and 656 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 20: what the Prime Minister identified and then stand up after 657 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 20: the after cabinet that you can't have platforms and capability 658 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 20: if you don't have confident, capable and experienced personnel as well, 659 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 20: and that's going to be the big challenge. 660 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 4: Yes, we'll appreciate the insight ron ron mark form of 661 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: Defense Minister, speaking of which ten minutes past seven passing 662 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 4: my great news about the defense budget. However, not a 663 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 4: cent to go towards a pay increase, so nothing will change. 664 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 4: Personnel still ahead will be heading off shore hopefully wrong 665 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 4: because it was addressed yesterday. The money for salaries comes 666 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 4: in the budget. This is separate again, but there are 667 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 4: question marks around where the money comes and it will 668 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 4: all be revealed in the budget. But due to the 669 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 4: collins with us in about half an hour's time. Right 670 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 4: o the matters. Speaking of money, thousands of victims of 671 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 4: crime missing out on court ordered reparation. We've got ten 672 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 4: and a half thousand payments over you right now, with 673 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 4: the further twenty three thousand, seven hundred outstanding. It's one 674 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 4: hundred and five million dollars that people are missing out on. 675 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 4: The Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith with us on this Good morning, 676 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 4: Good morning, Mike. Hardly a surprise given the people you're 677 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 4: dealing with. They're not fulsome in their ability or need 678 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: or desire to pay, are they? No? 679 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 12: But it is a hopeless situation. 680 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 22: It's been like this for a very long time and 681 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 22: everybody's aware it. You know, something happens, you get this 682 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 22: a reparation and that's two dollars a week, or it 683 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 22: doesn't happen, and so there aren't the real consequences for crime. 684 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 4: Unfortunate. 685 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 22: It's this one of the many issues in the justice 686 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 22: sector that we're working our way through. And I've certainly 687 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 22: given instructions that we've got to come up with a 688 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 22: better solution. 689 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 4: Are they what's that coming up with a better solution? 690 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 22: Well, they haven't come up with it. Yet I'll just 691 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 22: you know, just remind you that last year we were 692 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 22: focusing on sentencing and the gang stuff, make good progress there. 693 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 22: We're now dealing with stalking and name suppression rules and 694 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 22: retail crime. The next cab off the rank will be that, 695 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 22: you know, is an equally appalling situation in terms of 696 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 22: people waiting three years to get cases. So the slow 697 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 22: processes of the court and this one is the next 698 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 22: problem that we've got to deal with. And that the 699 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 22: challenge I've put to them is this, simply, we've got 700 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 22: you know, we can send people to jail, or we 701 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 22: can give them a fine, but we actually need something 702 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 22: more effective in the middle for people who don't actually 703 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 22: pay the fine. We don't necessarily want to put them 704 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 22: in prison. And you know, so it's a kind of 705 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 22: the community service type thing. I'd be interested in your 706 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 22: listeners if they could come up with. 707 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 4: I think we've got to. 708 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 22: Come up with something that's irritating and difficult and annoying, 709 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 22: which forces people to actually get on with it and. 710 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 4: Pay the fines. I already most of these people will 711 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 4: beyond benefits, take it out of their benefits. 712 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: Well. 713 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 22: Yet that that already happens in certain circumstances that happens. 714 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, exactly, why don't you solve the problem. If 715 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 4: you've got the mechanism, just take it out until they 716 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:54,959 Speaker 4: pay their bill. 717 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 22: Yes, but there's also you know, I mean that there's 718 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 22: child support payments, there's traffic fines, all sorts of things 719 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 22: coming out, and that's the limit. 720 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 4: And so I think the problem. 721 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 22: Yes, I mean, there's scope for doing that more than 722 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 22: their scope for having more consequences at the border and 723 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 22: all those sorts of things. We're into that, but I 724 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 22: still think we need to come up with a better 725 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 22: solution that provides something that's irritating and painful, that annoys people, 726 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 22: that forces him to getting out and paying the fines. 727 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 4: And that's what I'm looking for. How about a small 728 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: segment on my show once a week where I name 729 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 4: and shame them. Well, that'd be a good idea. 730 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 22: I'm into that, Mike. 731 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 4: There we go. See this is the home of my ideas.

Your partners and productivity Pask seven, twenty four. 833 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 4: Bit of angst over the release of the government's thinking 834 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 4: around reaching net zero by twenty fifty are the famous 835 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 4: net zero Let me tell you well, let me reassure 836 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 4: you that by twenty five the whole twenty fifty thing 837 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 4: is going to be a distant memory, like Peter Dutton 838 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 4: and working from home. It's a great idea until it's 839 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 4: a mistake. The whole rhetoric around net zero is heading 840 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 4: in completely the wrong direction. There are now far too 841 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 4: many countries who are either worn down by the cold 842 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 4: hard truth that it isn't doable without a level of 843 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 4: economic carnage that they're simply not prepared to endure. You 844 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 4: think Cami bad Knock in Britain, who has to be 845 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 4: admired for her straight up and down honesty. Or you 846 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 4: look at countries like in Deer and China who talk 847 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 4: a half decent game but make little or any real progress. 848 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 4: All places like America, of course, who these days are 849 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 4: openly hostile to the whole idea as a global plan. 850 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 4: Widely endorsed and enacted. It's over, but until we reach 851 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 4: the inevitable conclusion are the government here is still officially 852 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 4: aims for net zero while at the same time doing 853 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 4: as little as humanly possible to get there, which is 854 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 4: a welcome relief from the previous government, who have of 855 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 4: course bent over backwards costs of fortune and basically just 856 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 4: hobbled business in the process. New details suggests that private 857 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 4: enterprise is going to plant huge numbers of trees on 858 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 4: public land. Now the upset around this is coming from 859 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 4: the outdoors brigade, who worry vast chunks of the conservation 860 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 4: estate will be locked up and we will be locked out. Obviously, 861 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 4: they won't be planting on Milford Track or on Mount Cook. That, 862 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 4: along with our national parks and so on, is the 863 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 4: conservation estate that we know and we love. What many 864 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 4: may not know is vast swathes of this country is 865 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 4: Crown property, and you've never been there and you're never 866 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 4: going to. It's not pristine landscape, hiking trails and bird song. 867 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 4: It's rugged, uncharted and barren. Put all the trees there 868 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 4: you want, and if someone somewhere thinks that's going to 869 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 4: save the world, will have done our part. The Outdoors 870 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 4: Brigade mistake is that anything outdoors is one ours to 871 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 4: frolic through at will. And two accessible parts of the 872 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 4: landscape that are indistinguishable from rolling meadows. Neither are true. 873 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 4: Cosking right, we're on the yellow chairs. Here's nitt Nyahu. 874 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 3: We are going to eliminate the tariffs and rapidly. I added. 875 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 3: At the opportunity to speak. 876 00:43:55,400 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 23: To the Secretary Letnik yesterday, we talked about how to 877 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 23: affect this quickly, and I hope to bring the solution 878 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,919 Speaker 23: very quickly. We're not talking about intentions, We're not talking 879 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 23: about you know, just words. 880 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 3: We're talking about results. 881 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 7: So Trump, any many countries that are coming to negotiate 882 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 7: deals with us, and they're going to be fair deals, 883 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 7: and in certain cases they're going to be be paying 884 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 7: substantial tariffs. 885 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 3: They'll be fair deals. 886 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 7: So you know, I spoke this morning with the Prime 887 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 7: Minister of Japan and we had a very good conversation. 888 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 7: They're coming, and I said, one thing, you're going to 889 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 7: have to open up your country because we sold no cars, 890 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 7: like zero cars in Japan, and they sold millions of 891 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 7: cars into our country. They don't really take our agriculture, 892 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 7: a little bit of it just to keep us slightly happy, 893 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 7: but they don't take what they of us to be taking. 894 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 7: So we have a great relationship with Japan. We're going 895 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 7: to keep it that way. 896 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 4: But none of those Mike's any sense. Of course, the 897 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 4: reason they don't have American cars is because of can 898 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 4: cars run six feet of v gates and the cost 899 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 4: of petrols too high, and the emissions are hopeless and 900 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 4: there are rules against all of that. So none of 901 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 4: this has got solved. So Israel's already dropped their tariffs, 902 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 4: dropped them instantly, They dropped them before as soon as 903 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 4: the announcement was made. So what's America got to say, 904 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 4: Are they now making a deal? Vietnam dropped their tariffs 905 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 4: to zero as America making a deal. 906 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 3: No, they're not. 907 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 4: So where do we go from here? So none of 908 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 4: it actually makes any sense, and so we're no better 909 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 4: off anyway, back to the defense business. The Defense Minister 910 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 4: Judith Collins, shortly. 911 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 2: Your source of freaking news, challenging opinion and honors, backs 912 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 2: the Mike Hosking breakfast with the range Rover villa designed 913 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 2: to intrigue and use Tom's. 914 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 4: Dead b don't you what the down's worth? Watching? Are 915 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 4: not in any good way? But it was flat and 916 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 4: then it was down five hundred, then it was down 917 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 4: two hundred. Now it was down three to fifty, then 918 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 4: it was down eight hundred, then it was flat against 919 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 4: just all over the place. They're on the yellow chairs 920 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,439 Speaker 4: nitnya who and Trump jumps now into China. 921 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 7: Essentially closed country. In fact, it is a closed country. 922 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 7: And what they do is they charge tariffs so that 923 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 7: if you if you sell cars, or if you sell anything, 924 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 7: nobody's going to buy it because the brace is out 925 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 7: of control. But that's true with a lot of other 926 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 7: countries also. So we're going to get fair deals and 927 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 7: good deals with every country, and if we don't, we're 928 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 7: going to have nothing to do with them. They're not 929 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 7: going to be allowed to participate in the United States. 930 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 12: You see what's todd. 931 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 4: China is not a closed country. It's our biggest trading partner, 932 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 4: and it's worth twenty billion dollars a year and it's 933 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 4: called free trade. So I don't know where the Americans 934 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 4: are following this with any level of detail, but it's 935 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 4: a mess. Twenty two minutes away from back to our 936 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,760 Speaker 4: defense boost twelve billion over four years baseline, not a ceiling, 937 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 4: which was the encouraging part. I guess it will be 938 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 4: at least two percent of GDP eventually nine billion of 939 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 4: its brand new money. To the Defense Minister Judith Collins 940 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 4: as well, it's very good morning to you. 941 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 24: Good morning mate. 942 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 4: It felt a bit grown up yesterday. Does it feel 943 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 4: that way to you that we might be back in 944 00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 4: the world and playing our role. 945 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 17: Well, yes, it's a good way of putting it. 946 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 20: Growing up. 947 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 17: Understanding the will is not the way we'd like it 948 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 17: to be. We have to deal with what we've got 949 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 17: and what we expect might be. Might it might look 950 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 17: like in a few years time. 951 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 4: The forces had to be stoked. 952 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 24: Sorry, the forces had. 953 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 17: I am told. I'm told that they are particularly stoked 954 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 17: yesterday afternoon, and I'm sure they'll be stoked today too. 955 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 17: But it's like they've had thirty five years, except for 956 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 17: that small period when Ron Mark was the minister and 957 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 17: he actually got them some some really good kit, but 958 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 17: they've had thirty five years of being gutted. 959 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 4: Frankly, and speaking of speaking Ron Mark, we had him 960 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,879 Speaker 4: on the program earlier. He was suggesting it to ACT 961 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 4: in New Zealand. 962 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 3: First. 963 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 4: That has nudged you towards these sort of announcements, true 964 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 4: or not. 965 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 17: No, In fact, i'd say that it was something I've 966 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,720 Speaker 17: been working on, as I'm sure you know, for about 967 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 17: the last year or so. But also I am very 968 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 17: very grateful for the support that I've had from both 969 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 17: ACT and you said it first, as well as my 970 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 17: caucus and cabinet colleagues. Understanding that this is big money. 971 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 17: We know it has to happen, but it's a coalition deal. 972 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 17: I'm very happy with the way that they have backed 973 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 17: me up on it. 974 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 4: Having watched the press conference yesterday, I know you're not 975 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 4: going to talk about the money, but just to just 976 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 4: to clear it up for people, because there is some 977 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 4: concern around wages and the fact that there are three 978 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 4: ships tied up because we've got no people. The wages 979 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 4: is a budget announcement which will be made in the 980 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 4: budget that is separate to the billions for ships and 981 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 4: planes and drones. 982 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:39,760 Speaker 24: That's Friday. 983 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 17: Aware that last year we've got a big increase, particularly 984 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 17: for our let's say, not the brass, the people, the 985 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 17: ones who are less experienced, we got them a big increase. 986 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,359 Speaker 17: And at the moment, the starting so are we going 987 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 17: into the military is about sixty five thousand something like 988 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 17: that plus said military as sorry as to say, plus 989 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 17: accommodation and free medical and all that from their first 990 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 17: start as trainees. But are in there they paus up 991 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 17: towards accommodation. But they do, however, still get free medical 992 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 17: in dital treatment as well as it. So that's not 993 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 17: a bad start at Savalary for someone out of school 994 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,320 Speaker 17: or out of university. 995 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 4: I would agree on the qualifications thing, which wasn't part 996 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 4: of yesterday's announcement but was quietly dropped last year. Apparently 997 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,919 Speaker 4: you just basically need to have gone to high school 998 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 4: for three years and you don't even need level one anymore. 999 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 4: Are you taking a risk in terms of talent or 1000 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 4: are these just people who didn't get along at school 1001 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 4: and the military might just be the magic for them. 1002 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 17: Well, I think it's the letter, and there's aren't mark 1003 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 17: to be well that he said, it's probably a home. 1004 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 17: I shouldn't really ensuring that I'm going to anyway, he said, Oh, 1005 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 17: under the way, it was a few years ago. He said, 1006 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 17: even I wouldn't be able to get in there as 1007 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 17: and he wouldn't be able to get in there. The 1008 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 17: fact is that we need people who will turn up, 1009 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 17: who will take orders, will are clever enough to understand 1010 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 17: what things mean, but also have an absolute passion willingness 1011 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 17: to learn and be part of defense force. So where 1012 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 17: are not someone's brilliant academically? That's not necessarily the first 1013 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 17: part of court, although that is also helpful. 1014 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, once again, budget you won't explain it, 1015 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 4: but you have the billions, and this is billions we 1016 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 4: don't have, and I'm a conservative and I worry about 1017 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 4: spending money we don't have. Will we be reassured come 1018 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 4: budget day that it at least makes sense? 1019 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 17: Yes, I'm very very confident in work at Nichol Willis's Bonance. 1020 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 17: Minister's done on this and I would say too too, 1021 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 17: is that in New Zealand Defense has eight hundred suppliers 1022 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 17: from New Zealand. 1023 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 21: Even now. 1024 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 17: The work that's going to be going into defeats industry here, 1025 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 17: particularly arounds of a high tech kit which some museum 1026 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 17: and businesses are already supplying. The off court. 1027 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:11,760 Speaker 24: Military. 1028 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 17: We are going to be growing the economy and actually 1029 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 17: in a high teach way, not in we're not going 1030 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 17: to be building tanks, but we are going to be 1031 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 17: building drones. 1032 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 4: Good exciting times. Appreciate it very much. Defense Minister Judith 1033 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 4: Collins with us this morning, eighteen minutes away from eight 1034 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 4: Hostking Trump's now moved on to the EU. 1035 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 25: We have a deficit with the European Union of three 1036 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 25: hundred and fifty billion dollars and it's going to disappear fast. 1037 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 25: And one of the reasons, and one of the ways 1038 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 25: that that can disappear easily and quickly, is they're going 1039 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 25: to have to buy our energy from us because. 1040 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 21: They need it. 1041 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 4: They're going to have to buy it from us. 1042 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 7: They can buy it, We can knock off three hundred 1043 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 7: and fifty billion dollars in one week. They have to 1044 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,760 Speaker 7: buy and commit to buy a like amount of energy, 1045 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 7: and we have that. You know, we have more energy 1046 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 7: than any country in the world. 1047 00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 3: I don't know if you know that. 1048 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 4: I see. This is the part I get. Just to 1049 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 4: try and reiterate and explain this one more time, that's 1050 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,800 Speaker 4: the part I get. That's if you're not a free trader, 1051 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 4: which New Zealand is and he isn't, then that's the 1052 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 4: part you can line up alongside Trump. So if you've 1053 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 4: got a deficit with the place, let's say it's the EU, 1054 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 4: and the deficit is several hundred billion dollars, how do 1055 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 4: you counteract that they buy more of your stuff? Or 1056 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,839 Speaker 4: you tariff them. They already tariff America. So in that sense, 1057 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 4: I get what Trump's trying to do. If they've got 1058 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,439 Speaker 4: a twenty percent tariff, he'll match them at a twenty 1059 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 4: percent tariff. That part makes some sort of sense. The 1060 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 4: part that doesn't make sense, and they still haven't got 1061 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,240 Speaker 4: to because Netna, who's still in the room is Netna 1062 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 4: who's dropped the tariffs. There are no tariffs, there is 1063 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 4: no deficit, there's no nothing so how come the tariffs 1064 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 4: haven't been dropped? In the American point of view, how 1065 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 4: is it that Vietnam can drop the tariffs and there 1066 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 4: is no reciprocal arrangement with the Americans. And none of 1067 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,360 Speaker 4: that part makes sense. And that's why the world and 1068 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 4: the markets are up into it at the moment because 1069 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,479 Speaker 4: no one can make sense of it. Not only can't 1070 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 4: they make sense of it, what they can't calculate, and 1071 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,399 Speaker 4: this is a economist's top to bottom. They can't work 1072 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 4: out how they came up with the different numbers for 1073 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 4: all the different countries, whether or not there is a 1074 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 4: deficit or not. Australia doesn't have a deficit. Australia has 1075 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 4: a surplus. America gains by dealing with Australia. Yet Australia 1076 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 4: got whacked with the tariff. Why New Zealand is even 1077 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,720 Speaker 4: Stevens it's a balanced portfolio. We got whacked with the tariff. 1078 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 4: Why and until they can explain that, which they can't 1079 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,959 Speaker 4: and they won't because it's inexplicable, we're gonna have the trouble. 1080 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 4: We've got seven forty five. 1081 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 2: Good The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1082 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 2: powered by news Talks, it be. 1083 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:38,800 Speaker 4: Twelve a way from it. I mentioned on the program 1084 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 4: last week a clever Core, which was Fletcher Challenger's prefab facility, 1085 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 4: and sadly it closed, and I ran it around the 1086 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 4: idea that this is theory versus reality. In theory, if 1087 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 4: we ran a poll and said, hey, if somebody came 1088 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 4: up with an idea to make housing really cheap and affordable, 1089 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 4: do you reckon that's a good idea, and in the 1090 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 4: poll everyone to go, oh yeah, fantastic to get amongst that. 1091 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 4: And of course in reality where snobs and we don't 1092 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 4: want prefab housing, so it never went anywhere. So it's 1093 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 4: very good piece in the Herald, and Gibson's written about 1094 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 4: why Fletchers have spoken for the first time about why 1095 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 4: Clevercor didn't work, and it's in many respects it's a 1096 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 4: very sad story. It's going to close by June thirty. 1097 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 4: Insufficient volumes, lack of commercial viability, the market downturn, industry reluctance, 1098 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 4: and they've gone through a whole list of what went 1099 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 4: wrong and they were doing it really well. So what 1100 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 4: was sad about it is one they came up with 1101 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 4: an idea, so theory Yep, it sounds good to me. 1102 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 4: They actually started doing it and it worked. We got 1103 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 4: to the stage where we could assemble not just one 1104 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 4: home every two days, but three homes a day using 1105 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 4: the principle of Kaizin Kisin's the famous Toyota thing, which is, 1106 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 4: you know, continual improvement, three homes a day, bang bang 1107 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 4: bang bang every day and at a cheaper rate. Why 1108 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 4: didn't it get apped up? Why didn't it work? Why 1109 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 4: wasn't it successful? Quote? A lot of people don't value time, safety, 1110 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 4: your quality unless they're sold this. Customers simply don't know 1111 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,439 Speaker 4: what's possible. So is that on Fletchers for not selling 1112 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 4: it in a way that people understood. Unlike the typical 1113 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 4: builders merchant market, you don't get rebates or loyalty reward 1114 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 4: programs or other incentives to use offsite manufacturing. Now, that's interesting, 1115 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 4: So that may be a foible of the housing market. 1116 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 4: In other words, you know, if you're just building a 1117 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 4: house for the house's sake, jib's not giving you a 1118 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 4: little bit of extra you know, trip to Fiji for 1119 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 4: buying all the jib board stuff like that. So there 1120 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 4: are some obviously some lessons learned, But read it in 1121 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 4: the Herald Why Fletchers fifteen million dollar clevercre prefab house 1122 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 4: building facility failed because the blok around at Steve Evans 1123 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 4: is very sad and you make some very salient points 1124 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,720 Speaker 4: I would have thought on the housing market in general, 1125 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 4: but it seemed to me one a clever idea, too 1126 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:54,959 Speaker 4: workable and was working, and yet they're closing the doors. 1127 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 2: Ten away from it the Matehosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real 1128 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 2: Estate eight News Talk. 1129 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 4: They'd be still down about four hundred and something for 1130 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 4: the morning thirty seven eight hundred issues. She'll be interesting 1131 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 4: to see because we were catching up on the blood 1132 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,960 Speaker 4: bath at the weekend and there's still it's not as 1133 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 4: big a blood bath this morning. But do we carry 1134 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,280 Speaker 4: on with the blood bath or does it get adjusted? 1135 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 4: And given what happened in Asia yesterday, was that so 1136 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 4: severe even they've got to find a bottom. So another 1137 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 4: interesting day ahead anyway. The World of Wearable Arts is 1138 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 4: back executive creative director Brian Burke, returning for US fourth show. 1139 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,760 Speaker 4: Now Brian Burke is whether it's Brian, very good morning. 1140 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 24: To you, very good morning to you.

She seems to still at the 1145 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 4: age of seventy, whatever she is, she still still seems 1146 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 4: to be as good as she ever was. 1147 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 24: She's absolutely she absolutely loves that.

Saying Bruce Hornsby, 1214 00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 4: what a trick that's going to be after the news, 1215 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 4: which is next. 1216 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 2: The news and the newsmakers the mic asking breakfast with 1217 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Bailey's real estate, your local experts across residential, commercial and 1218 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,000 Speaker 2: rural news talks head been. 1219 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 3: What's that you say?

The way it is 1222 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 4: was the start, of course, but surely Scenes from the 1223 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,439 Speaker 4: south Side is as good as any album anywhere ever. 1224 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 4: He's collaborated with everyone hung out for years with a 1225 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 4: grateful dead co written with the best and still to 1226 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 4: us it's a crime we've never really had him on 1227 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 4: the program before, but we can fix that now. Bruce 1228 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 4: Hornsby is with us. Good morning and to you. 1229 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 24: I love. 1230 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 4: Just just for reference, we've been talking about my name 1231 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 4: off here, I have you, I don't even know where 1232 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 4: to start up, and trying to talk to you for 1233 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 4: for forty something years. I'm a massive fan see see 1234 01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 4: scenes from that let me tell you the story. So 1235 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 4: scenes CDs came into my life in the eighties. Right, 1236 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 4: first CD I of A bought was Griceland Paul Simon 1237 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 4: ye second album, Scenes from the south Side, still as 1238 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 4: good as it gets. Did you not when Scenes from 1239 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 4: the south Side came out? Did you know you had something? Mega? 1240 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 21: I wouldn't say I knew that. I never know anything. 1241 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 21: I'm too close to it. It's hard to keep perspective 1242 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 21: on something that people ask me what it's like to 1243 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 21: make a record. I say, and take your all time 1244 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 21: favorite song that you love more than any song, and 1245 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 21: imagine somebody straps you into a chair and forces you 1246 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 21: to listen to that song a thousand times. Several things 1247 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 21: would happen. One, you'd never want to hear it again. 1248 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:50,000 Speaker 21: You'd be totally burnt with it. Two, you would be 1249 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,280 Speaker 21: becoming numb to it. And in the face of that 1250 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 21: massive repetition that is making records, Uh, you have to 1251 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 21: retain some sort of objectivity about it. And that's incredibly 1252 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 21: difficult because of what I just said. So people go, wow, 1253 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 21: I hope I never make a record again after that description. So, yeah, no, 1254 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 21: I did not know. That's my long winded answer to say, no, 1255 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 21: I didn't know. My second record, Sceat from the South 1256 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 21: Side was was my attempt to cement the idea that 1257 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 21: this is my sound for what it's worth a lend 1258 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 21: drum machine and a piano, and so that's what I 1259 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 21: did deliver them. 1260 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 4: So, having followed you, what you seem to do more 1261 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 4: these days is experiment your musically experimentally you're do you 1262 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 4: know this why music that you're doing in the collaborations? 1263 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 4: How has commercial or how did commercial success sit with 1264 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 4: you juxtaposed with your desire just to do what you 1265 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 4: want to do musically. 1266 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 21: Well, I was always pretty bad at it. That was 1267 01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 21: a pretty bad quote unquote pop star. I used to 1268 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 21: just say, as the Brits would say, maybe you use 1269 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 21: this phrase too. We used to just take the piss 1270 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:13,040 Speaker 21: out of it and not take it too seriously, maybe 1271 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 21: to our detriment. People would go, why are you guys 1272 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,439 Speaker 21: doing this in your videos? Why are you just having 1273 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 21: your friends dancing around? I said, well, because it's just 1274 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 21: an excuse to get my friends on MTV. I we 1275 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 21: don't care about the rest of it. So again I 1276 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 21: was not a great personality in that way. I didn't 1277 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 21: care about it. 1278 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 3: But the success. 1279 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 21: Look, I was going to do what I was going 1280 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,919 Speaker 21: to do, whether it's successful or not. I mean, I've 1281 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 21: just always been a musician first, and I was a 1282 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,920 Speaker 21: bit of a creatively restless soul, and it's just gradually moved. 1283 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 21: You mentioned recently, and certainly recently, my records have been 1284 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 21: more adventurous, much to the chagrin of a lot of 1285 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 21: my longtime fans, who would prefer I do. Like a 1286 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 21: whole lot of other people who came out in the 1287 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 21: eighties or the seventies, who make the same record stylistically 1288 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 21: every time. Now that's basically what their longtime fans want. 1289 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 21: That's a total prison creatively for me, So I could 1290 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 21: never do it. I'm just interested in evolving and pushing. 1291 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 21: So when I lose, hopefully, when I lose a certain 1292 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 21: old time fan that he just hates it, hopefully I 1293 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 21: garner some newer and most likely younger fan who goes, Wow, 1294 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 21: this is not this is not who who we thought 1295 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,439 Speaker 21: this guy was, and we like this new guy better. 1296 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 4: Do you have that ongoing issue with your audience? Because 1297 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 4: I was watching a thing you did last year in 1298 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 4: the BBC. You know where you record with an Augustra 1299 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 4: and you've done this for years each it's the same song. 1300 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 4: It's the hit song, but the intro will be different, 1301 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 4: the way you sing it it'll be different. Is that 1302 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 4: this is what you do and that's that, and the 1303 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 4: audience can love it or height it. That's life. 1304 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 21: Well, I feel like that's that's very that's a fairly 1305 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,919 Speaker 21: conservative move, relatively on my part. The way I play, 1306 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 21: the way it is what you're referring to, I'm sure 1307 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 21: related to other things I do, so I don't know 1308 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 21: what to say about that if if someone thinks that 1309 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 21: my version of the way it is that I played 1310 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 21: with the BBC Radio Orchestra last year live across the UK, 1311 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 21: along with two other songs mine Yes, Yeah. One of 1312 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 21: them was a big hit in America. Song I wrote 1313 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 21: with Don Henley was a hit for him, The End 1314 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 21: of the Innocence. The other one is also notable in 1315 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 21: a different way, but in more of an indie underground way. 1316 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 21: Several years ago I was reached out by the great 1317 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 21: Justin Burnon of the great indie band Boney Vere, who 1318 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 21: comes over there and plays at least Australia. They probably 1319 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 21: come to New Zealand as well. They do very well there. 1320 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 21: They played this in the Opera House, et cetera, et cetera, 1321 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 21: and I started working with him. 1322 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 28: It was just like when I was coming up, I've 1323 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 28: got reached out. I was reached out to by a 1324 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,160 Speaker 28: lot of my heroes. I ended up working with a 1325 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 28: lot of my heroes. And that was sort of painting 1326 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 28: yourself into the mural that you'd been looking at as 1327 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,600 Speaker 28: a young man, and all of a sudden, you're in it, 1328 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 28: and that was I get you. I was thinking about that, 1329 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 28: but then it reversed for me in a beautiful way. 1330 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 28: Younger musicians, spearheaded by this one guy who was a 1331 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 28: big deal in the indie world. 1332 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 21: I started working with all these younger musicians that for 1333 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 21: whom I had been an inspiration to them when they 1334 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 21: were coming up. So again it flipped around, and so 1335 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,440 Speaker 21: I played a song I wrote, I wrote with justin Vernon, 1336 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 21: and we did a duet, a duet on this song 1337 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 21: called cast Up, and that was the third song. 1338 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was indeed. I'd recommend anyone got to say it. 1339 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 4: Just just look it up as really available to the 1340 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 4: BBC Radio Orchestra from last year Alive in Front, just 1341 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 4: broadcast right around the country. More from Bruce Hornsby just 1342 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,920 Speaker 4: a couple of moments in the team Past the Mic. 1343 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 2: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio, cowed by 1344 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 2: News Talk. 1345 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 4: Zippy News Talk Zippy sixteen Past Day Bruce Hornsby, Well, this, 1346 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 4: by the way, Bruce, you know, I obviously you're at 1347 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 4: the University of Miami this week. You're performing your alumni 1348 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 4: so you're going to be doing and this goes to 1349 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 4: favorite songs the way it is, right, So that's the 1350 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 4: song that people want. We had Billy Joel on the 1351 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 4: program last year and I talked to him about piano Man, 1352 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 4: and he doesn't like piano man. He doesn't like performing it. 1353 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 4: What's your relationship with a song like that that you 1354 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 4: must have played like a million times? 1355 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 21: Well, as you you you refer to this before because 1356 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 21: you heard my version. Now we I have three or 1357 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 21: four or five different ways of playing the songs, and 1358 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,439 Speaker 21: so that that's my way to guard against burnout, guard 1359 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 21: against what mister Joel there was talking about. But anyone 1360 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 21: can relate to that. It's it's so obviously it's such 1361 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 21: an all story, the old oh well, you've got to 1362 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 21: do the hit thing. But for many years. I was 1363 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 21: pretty mean about it in the teens of this century, 1364 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:17,360 Speaker 21: maybe even the oughts, when I would not play any 1365 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 21: of those songs. Now you have to understand my career 1366 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 21: is again using the word disparate. It stylistically been all 1367 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 21: over the map. And one of my main sort of 1368 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 21: top five resume items in the world is that I 1369 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 21: played with The Grateful Dead for eighteen twenty months. And 1370 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 21: so I was always an improviser. I'm improvising on the 1371 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,640 Speaker 21: way it is on the radio. That doesn't happen. It 1372 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 21: was a wonderful accident that happened. So but that's who 1373 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 21: I am. 1374 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 16: So I am not. 1375 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 21: I'm not a great vehicle for your stroll down memory lane. 1376 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 21: But I'm not bad. I've gotten nicer. I've got kinder 1377 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 21: about it in my diligage. 1378 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 4: I love it when you go back to the University 1379 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 4: of Miami in a week or so, the Frost School 1380 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 4: of Music is that is there something that let. 1381 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,760 Speaker 21: Me let me say one thing about that before you 1382 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 21: ask the question.

Meantime, Starmer still bangs on about free trade. 1494 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 6: We will keep calm and fight for the best deal 1495 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,400 Speaker 6: with the US, and we've been discussing that intensely over 1496 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 6: the last few days. But we are also going to 1497 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:37,799 Speaker 6: work with our key partners to reduce barriers to trade 1498 01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 6: across the globe, to acceleate trade deals with the rest 1499 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,840 Speaker 6: of the world, and champion the course of free and 1500 01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 6: open trade right across the globe.

So I was watching Keir Starmer 1508 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 4: and do the Chancellor standing at the lane lander of 1509 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 4: a Jaguar factory earlier on today. What what are we waiting? 1510 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 4: What are we waiting for? Is he going to do something? 1511 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 4: Is he part of Europe? Has he got a plan? 1512 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 4: Has he got numbers? What where are we at? It's 1513 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 4: a cring plan. 1514 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 29: Mike is going to do nothing and it's it may 1515 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 29: be the best thing to do, because that has been 1516 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 29: the policy all the way through since Donald Trump was elected, 1517 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 29: which is when Donald Trump does something, do nothing and 1518 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,120 Speaker 29: it's worked, and it worked, and it's got us you know, 1519 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 29: these ten percent only ten percent terrast rather than whatever 1520 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 29: one hundred and nine percent whatever Chines has got. At 1521 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 29: the moment, it's kind of worked. They're playing it very kelly. 1522 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 29: They're offering support to the various British industries which might 1523 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 29: have been hurt by this, such as the car manufacturers. 1524 01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:11,800 Speaker 29: We still make about nine cars per year, so. 1525 01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 4: And it is working. 1526 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 29: By refusing to react to the way that the markets 1527 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 29: have reacted the way that many foreign politicians have reacted, 1528 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,040 Speaker 29: it keeps us kind of on site with the USA 1529 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 29: and not too distraight from Europe, you know. 1530 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,040 Speaker 4: Okay, so if you accept that, that's fair enough, we've 1531 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:33,640 Speaker 4: done the same thing, of course, but we've done the 1532 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 4: same thing because we're a small island nation at the 1533 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 4: bottom of the world. With firming in people, we can't 1534 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 4: do anything else. But when stars standing there, hey Jaguar Landrover, 1535 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,280 Speaker 4: and he goes, I've got your back, what does that mean? 1536 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 29: Well, you would assume that it means, if you're Jack 1537 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 29: your androver, that he will bail them out of their problems. 1538 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,200 Speaker 29: It's a long time since the Labor government, or indeed 1539 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:59,920 Speaker 29: any government bailed out industry for its failures to adapt 1540 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,600 Speaker 29: to change in markets. That has been a kind of 1541 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 29: given for the last forty years. But perhaps you will, 1542 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 29: perhaps he will on this, and that's that's all. We 1543 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 29: don't know, you know. And various members of the Labor 1544 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,639 Speaker 29: government have been interviewed on on the BBC on various 1545 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:26,600 Speaker 29: other channels and asked what actually you're going to do 1546 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 29: and they said, wow, it would be ill advised of 1547 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 29: us to tell you exactly. I don't think they're going 1548 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 29: to do anything right. 1549 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 4: Okay for the moment, okay, but if they're suddenly in 1550 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 4: the business of saving jobs, are they saving the jobs? 1551 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,559 Speaker 4: British Steel as well, which I read over the weekend, 1552 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,680 Speaker 4: is about to tip out twenty seven hundred people and 1553 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,360 Speaker 4: can they afford to do that at a time of 1554 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 4: local body elections and all of that sort of thing. 1555 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 29: I think British Steel is in a different situation and 1556 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 29: the Labor Party has a certain reputation for selling out 1557 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 29: British Steel. It did so in two thousand and eight 1558 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 29: and nine when the works up in Redica and Middlesbrough 1559 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,680 Speaker 29: were up for grabs and there was no support from 1560 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 29: the government at all. I think for I think the 1561 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 29: difference will be for specialist marquee brands that there will 1562 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 29: be some sort of support. But at the same time 1563 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,160 Speaker 29: there is also the optimism that we might make a 1564 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 29: bit of hay while the sunshines, given that we have 1565 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,479 Speaker 29: fewer restrictions on us lower tariff than any other country 1566 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 29: in the world. 1567 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 4: Okay, Dan Norris probably wasn't the best headline the Labor 1568 01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 4: Party got ahead over the weekend. 1569 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,519 Speaker 29: Pretty dreadful. This is a guy who is a mayor 1570 01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,680 Speaker 29: of the West of England and also a Labor p 1571 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 29: He evicted the famous Jacob Riis mog from northeast Somerset 1572 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 29: and he's now been arrested. And the charge is a 1573 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 29: pretty grotesque Its rape, child abduction and misconduct in a 1574 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:03,639 Speaker 29: public office. And these aren't historic. The rape charge relates 1575 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:08,760 Speaker 29: to the twenty twenties. The Labor Party was very quick, 1576 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,600 Speaker 29: the government was very quick in kicking him out and 1577 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 29: saying he's no longer part of us. But it's another 1578 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 29: it's another one of those things, which just adds to 1579 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 29: the annoyance and disgust with the government because for all 1580 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 29: of Keir Starmer's really good work, and it has been 1581 01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 29: good work on the world stage and in Europe and 1582 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:38,560 Speaker 29: in America, it doesn't really translate into popular vote. No, no, 1583 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 29: it's a real problem. 1584 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 12: Well. 1585 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,600 Speaker 4: Having said that, I noticed bed Knock yesterday arrived of 1586 01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,559 Speaker 4: the weekend, said that don't expect too much in these 1587 01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 4: local body elections. I referenced the moment ago. Would Labor 1588 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 4: be expecting some sort of pushback from the national program 1589 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:53,439 Speaker 4: or are they going to do okay? 1590 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,080 Speaker 29: I think they're going to do quite badly, but not 1591 01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,280 Speaker 29: as badly as the Tories. The people who will gain 1592 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 29: from this will be Reform. You don't have a great 1593 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 29: track record in local council elections, very few local council members. 1594 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 29: I think they will end up with quite a few, 1595 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 29: and that will concentrate the minds of both Labor and 1596 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,799 Speaker 29: indeed the Tories about who they have to be fighting 1597 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:18,719 Speaker 29: next time around. 1598 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 4: Quick word on the weather, rod, I'm seeing an increasing 1599 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 4: number of it's going to be as warm as s Gunthorpe, 1600 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 4: as warm as Tinerife, as warm as Greece. As you know, 1601 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 4: pickuplaf is that warm and dry. Its beautiful. 1602 01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 29: It's warm and dry and it's been beautiful, and it 1603 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 29: also means it's been the driest March since nineteen sixty one. 1604 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 29: So the farmers are up in arms. This is the 1605 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:47,479 Speaker 29: unheard of headline United Kingdom no rain shock, and there 1606 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,760 Speaker 29: has been no rain and it is a problem for 1607 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 29: the farmers at the moment though Easter weekend coming up. 1608 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 29: Everyone is very very happy about it. 1609 01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 4: As you should be go well, we'll catch up Thursday. 1610 01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,080 Speaker 4: Rod Little out of the UK at sixteen to night. 1611 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 2: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1612 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 2: by News Talks. 1613 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 4: At be good questions from you as always. Mike Trump 1614 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 4: won't drop tariffs against Vietnam because many products are Chinese 1615 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 4: they seen to Vietnam label them in Vietnamese. I'm not 1616 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 4: sure that's one hundred percent true. A lot of stuff 1617 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,960 Speaker 4: gets washed through and I alluded this to this yesterday 1618 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 4: with Northern Ireland. So they'll wash a lot of stuff 1619 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 4: through Northern Ireland depending on whether you're from the EU 1620 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 4: or whether you're from the UK. Given the EU's got 1621 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 4: twenty percent and the UK's got ten percent more likely 1622 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 4: what happens in Vietnam is a lot of countries repair 1623 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:39,000 Speaker 4: a lot of companies rather repatriated themselves to Vietnam to 1624 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 4: avoid the tariffs. So it's not an anti Chinese thing. 1625 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 4: These companies were trying to do the right thing, get 1626 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,600 Speaker 4: to the cheap labor markets plus also not have the 1627 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 4: tariffs to hinder their production. Then that's before you get 1628 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,760 Speaker 4: to the Vietnamese situation of companies like Nike, which have 1629 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 4: gone to those countries for labor reasons and no other reasons, 1630 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 4: and they have stuck with this thing as well well. 1631 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 4: Next question, can someone explain with the ceasefire negotiations for 1632 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 4: Ukraine have gone quiet? Exactly? And this is sort of 1633 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,680 Speaker 4: what the Trump team try and do. The chaka or 1634 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 4: blitzkrieg just bombbarred you with so much information you forget 1635 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,680 Speaker 4: about the main prize. And so he was going to 1636 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 4: fix the war on day one, which of course blatantly 1637 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 4: hasn't happened and isn't And the last time we heard 1638 01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 4: from him on the subject was indeed last week, a 1639 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:29,719 Speaker 4: week ago, whereby he was quote very angry and quote 1640 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:34,719 Speaker 4: piessed off with Putin and nothing's happened. Literally, nothing's happened, 1641 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 4: and so that's how these things are unfold by the way, 1642 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,280 Speaker 4: and what I hadn't realized. The other thing he's claiming 1643 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,120 Speaker 4: victory on at the moment, which doesn't appear to be 1644 01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:45,599 Speaker 4: quite as successful as he would claim. What a shock 1645 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,200 Speaker 4: is the Hootie attack. So he came out of nowhere 1646 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,479 Speaker 4: a couple of weekends ago and said, a bomb, a bomb, 1647 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,400 Speaker 4: the Hooties will sort that one out, the Red Sea, 1648 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 4: all that sort of stuff, which was good because I've 1649 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:57,840 Speaker 4: asked on this program. I mean, this has been going 1650 01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:59,360 Speaker 4: on for a couple of years now, and I've asked 1651 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 4: several times, where is the world's military. How is it 1652 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 4: you can take one of the great shipping lanes of 1653 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 4: the world, have it hijacked by terrorists and not seemingly 1654 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,880 Speaker 4: want to do anything about it. So he starts bombing 1655 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,919 Speaker 4: them a couple of weekends ago. I find out yesterday 1656 01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 4: that so far in the last three weeks, they've spent 1657 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 4: a billion dollars on doing this, you know, bombs, missiles, 1658 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 4: all that sort of stuff. The billion dollars, and as 1659 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,720 Speaker 4: far as I can work out, for no real gain whatsoever, 1660 01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:33,479 Speaker 4: the Pentagon will likely need to request supplemental funding from 1661 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 4: Congress to carry on with this. The offensive has already 1662 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 4: been criticized on both sides of the aisle JD Vance. 1663 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,760 Speaker 4: In fact, jd Vance said he thought the operation was 1664 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 4: a mistake. That was in the signal chat published by 1665 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 4: the Atlantic last week. So whoops, the Pentagon's not publicly 1666 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 4: disclosed what impact that these strikes are actually having. This 1667 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:53,799 Speaker 4: is going on on a daily basis. 1668 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,679 Speaker 30: By the way, today he was sort of talking about 1669 01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 30: it and mentioned that it was keeping them awake at night. Yeah, 1670 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 30: these wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep 1671 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,599 Speaker 30: because they've got bombs landing on them. 1672 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 4: What they haven't done, though, is that they have acknowledged 1673 01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,679 Speaker 4: that they've still been able to quote fortify their bunkers 1674 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:15,200 Speaker 4: and maintain weapons stockpiles underground. So a billion in counting 1675 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 4: more money they don't have from Congress. Yes, they're awake 1676 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 4: at night. Yes, according to jd it's a mistake, but 1677 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 4: unfortunately not being successful so far. 1678 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 2: Night Away from nine, the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the 1679 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 2: Range Rover of the LA News talks dead b So the. 1680 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 4: Yellow cheers in, the Yellow Cheers in with any you 1681 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 4: know closure, what with. 1682 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 18: Style falling out over Well, I've dropped my tariffs. 1683 01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,640 Speaker 4: Okay, well I'll drop ours as well.
