He 28 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: was exhausted, likely still in shock, to be fair with you, 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: and was off to start work. He didn't want to 30 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: speak on air out of respect to the families who 31 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: are still waiting for news from the debris.

We all know the hard true about this 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: country because we've all lived through it. It's one of 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: the most beautiful, rugged and remote parts of the world. 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: That's why we love it. We get to enjoy the 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: best that nature has to offer, and we often get 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: to do that completely alone, with only a handful of 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: other people around us. But it is a double edged sword. 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: A resident from Northland said today it's the price that 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: we pay for living in paradise, which I think sums 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: it up, and by all accounts, sadly, there are families 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: out there today who will pay the ultimate price, Ryan Bridge, 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 3: nine minutes after four N two is the number to text. 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: Always love to hear from you.

What did 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: you see this morning? 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 4: Nixt This morning, I was out walking and was heading 57 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: back down Pilot Bay and then I heard actually. 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 5: Loud cracking sound which caused I was on the phone time, 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: but it caused me to turn around and I could 60 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 5: see the mona was starting to come down onto com guests, 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 5: war cracking sounds onto buildings and things around it. 62 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: What was it like when it was coming down like? 63 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: Was it really fast? Was it just a slow? What 64 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: was it like? 65 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 5: I again, context from what I could see. It felt 66 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 5: quite slow motion, but you know time does get different 67 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 5: when you're in different situations, so it seems slow to 68 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 5: me as. 69 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: I watched it come through. 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 5: I mean, you react as fast as you can too. 71 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 5: I don't know how natural instinct, I guess is to 72 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: move forward, like lots of people were the community started 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 5: to move forward to obviously try and ascertain what was 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 5: going on. 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: And what did you find when you went from when 76 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: you moved forward, it was more. 77 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 5: Just the visual of saying that there's been lots of 78 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: disrupt to the area directly under the where the fenoa 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 5: had fallen. So you could see that. I could see 80 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: that a camp event had been moved along, and that 81 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 5: the pollution block had also been pushed forward in another 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 5: sort of truck. I guess was perhaps keeping some of 83 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 5: the ablution, you know, locked them. I guess it was 84 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: lockedom I couldn't see behind that. I didn't want to 85 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 5: move into an unfazed zone. And there were lots of 86 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 5: people who had been doing the work around closing off 87 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 5: the monent and the hovers best, so they were starting 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 5: to mobilize and you know, pushing people away from going 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 5: and giving there where the access. 90 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: They was, and did you talk to anyone when you 91 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: were there next to anyone who was you know, had 92 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 3: been there or in the vicinity, who was looking for anyone. 93 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, there were two people who were obviously wondering how 94 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: to to New Zealand who had people in the shower blocks, 95 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 5: so they were trying to move into that space. So 96 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 5: it was trying to say to them, come away, you know, 97 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 5: look obviously past them for clarity how many people they 98 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 5: were looking for, so that we could part it on 99 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: to other people. So we had some idea of what 100 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 5: it was that was sort of unfolding us both. But 101 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 5: you are a man and a woman, and that I 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 5: you know, could I really they were frantic to get 103 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 5: the people that they loved out of the space, so 104 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 5: you can only try and keep them safe. As the 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 5: white people come to try and look into the area, 106 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 5: did they have. 107 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: Their family and their their kids in there? 108 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 5: Probably potentially, they said, there were two people. It's all 109 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 5: quite snatched, as you can imagine, everything's moving quite rapidly, 110 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 5: So you know, I ask for how many people are 111 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 5: in there? They said too? And then other people there 112 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 5: were doctors and nurses and all sorts of people sort 113 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 5: of rushing around with another man who normally does search 114 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 5: and rescue who was interacting at the time. So it's 115 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 5: a little bit of a I guess bus he's seen 116 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 5: probably a good word. 117 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: To put it, Nix, I really appreciate you talking to 118 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: me this afternoon. Thank you for that. Nix Jakes, who 119 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 3: was a witness at the Mount Monginui slip this morning. 120 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: Thirteen minutes after four, we hit to Michael Mora, who 121 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: is from the held. Is that the scene with us, Michael, 122 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: what's happening there now? 123 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 7: Yes, Sir Ryan, this is very much still a very 124 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 7: active and fluid emergency situation with a focus at the 125 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 7: moment is still rescuing those who are unaccounted for those 126 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 7: who are trapped under this massive landslide. The center of attention, 127 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 7: from what I can see from the beach at the moment, 128 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 7: appears to be on this ablution block and you can 129 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 7: see fire an emergency and land search and rescue teams 130 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 7: up on top of the debris that covers that toilet 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 7: and shower block. There's also a digger that has been 132 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 7: brought in, but it is a huge task. Is there 133 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 7: is just tons and tons of dirt and debris that 134 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 7: is covering the campsite at the moment. Emergency Management Minister 135 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 7: Mark Mitchell has told me that young people were among 136 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 7: those who are unaccounted for at the moment and describe 137 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 7: the situation for parents who are waiting at the nearby 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 7: surf club for news as heartbreaking. So this is a 139 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 7: fairly fluid situation that is ongoing. What we understand is 140 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 7: that around five am this morning, there was another woman 141 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 7: who started going around the camp site and warning people 142 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 7: to get out. Now, I've just interviewed a woman who 143 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 7: asked not to be named, and she told me that 144 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 7: this woman was a hero, but that also as this 145 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 7: woman was going around the campsite to try and get 146 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 7: people out, she went into the ablution block and was 147 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 7: then the landslide came down, and she is one of 148 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 7: those who is unaccounted for. 149 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: So this is a woman who was. 150 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 7: Going around trying to warn people of the imminent danger. 151 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 7: So it's a fairly bleak, sad situation here on the ground. 152 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 7: A lot of activity going on, and we are told 153 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 7: by emergency officials that this will continue into the evening. 154 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 7: The rescue operation which it is at the moment, will 155 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 7: continue into the evening. 156 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: Michael, Thanks for that update.

The hard thing that is great. 181 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 8: I love the technology of the America's Cup. It's going 182 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 8: to come. We know it's going to start, but our 183 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 8: packaged that away and worry about that next year? Is 184 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 8: that like to do that? 185 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: It's fun. Naples is beautiful. It's going to be a 186 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: beautiful place. 187 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 8: Say I've ever been to Naples, haven't you? No, I've 188 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 8: traveled enough. I've been to Rome and Sardana. 189 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 3: Black Caps won't like going back to India after this nonsense. 190 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 8: It's one game. It's one game. 191 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: We had a texta in the earlier they got hammered. 192 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 8: But it's one game. 193 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: And do you have are they taking it on the chin? 194 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 8: Well you have to. It's groundwork, that's what it is. 195 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 8: No one is going to care what happened in this 196 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 8: series once the TEA twenty World Cup starts. Should New 197 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 8: Zealand win the t twenty World Cup, no one's going 198 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 8: to look back at those five games. All they are 199 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 8: is laying groundwork, getting players into rhythm, finding out what 200 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 8: works what doesn't work. There's still a couple of players 201 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 8: to come back, in the likes of Cipher and Finn Allen. 202 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 8: So to me, it's an exercise of information gathering and 203 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 8: we didn't get so head up about results that forget 204 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 8: beaten five nil. Maybe people start scratching their heads, but. 205 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: Still it doesn't matter. 206 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 8: People won't remember this after the World Cup. 207 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: Hey does the abs You're tonight going to be talking 208 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 3: about the whole well, the whole coaching saga. 209 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 8: Well, no, I'm not going to talk about the coaching saga. 210 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 8: We talked about the coaching saga. Yeah, you're last night. 211 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 3: I understood that you were going to talk about the 212 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 3: coaching saga to Rob nicol. 213 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 8: Ah, right, well kind of know what. Okay, No, that's 214 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 8: fair enough. But no, that's that's fair enough. Maybe i've 215 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 8: you know, pushed someone in the wrong direction around that. 216 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 8: Rob Nickel was the head of the Rugby Players Association, 217 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 8: so I'd like to talk to him about the effect 218 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 8: that's having on the players, what the players had to 219 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 8: do with it, how the process unfolded, and what happens 220 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 8: now for the players. So you attached to the coach, 221 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 8: it's about that, but it's about the player attitude, and 222 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 8: I suppose player care too. This is a personal situation. 223 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 8: A lot of these guys knew Razor got on on 224 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 8: them really really well. Other obviously didn't so much. So 225 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 8: how did they well tag gather that schism within the team? 226 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: Do you reckon they're a bit divided the Canterbury ones? 227 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: That's that loyalty? 228 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 8: Well, we don't know. We're not in there. We don't 229 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 8: know unless there's a fly on the wall out there somewhere. 230 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 8: But you suggest this is a difficult thing for players 231 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 8: to deal with. Their coach after two years, has been 232 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 8: shown the door unceremoniously. Now they sit there. Is that 233 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 8: guilt is their joy? I don't know. So that's why 234 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 8: we get ahead of the Rugby Players Association and go 235 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 8: from Rob, do you want to tell us something? 236 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: Really seem to night dusk twenty one minutes after four 237 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: news Talks, they'd. 238 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: Be digging deeper into the d's headlines. 239 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: See it's Ryan Bridge on Heather Duplessy, Ellen Dree with 240 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: one New Zealand coverage like no one else news talks. 241 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: There'd be four twenty four. Great to have your company 242 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: this textas says Ryan, I've just driven over the Auckland 243 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: Harbor Bridge and you can see the whole harbor is brown. 244 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 3: The difference of color and the water inside the boat marina, 245 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: it tells the difference. I haven't seen that before. That 246 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: happened because I went over it when we had cycling Gabriel, 247 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 3: and it happened during cycling Gabriel, but maybe not to 248 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: the same extent. Anyway, this storm is quite bad. I 249 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: think it's fair to say it's it's up there. We had. 250 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: You know, if we sort of read between the lines 251 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 3: about what's happening at the mount, you look at what 252 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: happened in Warkworth, you look at what has happened in 253 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: Welcome Bay, and total on this thing. This is bad. 254 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: This is a bad situation. He's got America very quick way, 255 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: actually to Davos. Trump's arrived. Then now he has used 256 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 3: his speech to roast a bunch of other world leaders, 257 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: which he loves doing. And sometimes it's fun to listen to. 258 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: Let's see how he goes with Carne. 259 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 10: They should be grateful also, but then I watch your 260 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 10: Prime Minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. They should be 261 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 10: grateful to USA. Canada lives because of the United States. 262 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 10: Remember that mark the next time you make your statements. 263 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 3: Now, Emmanuel Macron, now you remember he wore We spoke 264 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: about this yester day. Wore the sunglasses while he was 265 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 3: giving his speech at Davos. 266 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: Emmanuel Macrone. 267 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 10: I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. 268 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 8: What the hell happened? 269 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: Apparently because I thought, you know, the French are very 270 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 3: fashionable and very trendy. I thought maybe he was trying 271 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 3: to make it. I genuinely, when I first saw it, 272 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: I thought one, I thought, what a plonker, Like it's winter, 273 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: you don't need sunglasses and you're inside. But no, he 274 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: had a bung eye. Apparently he had something wrong with 275 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 3: his eye, which is the reason he was wearing the sunglasses. 276 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: Apparently this is the Swiss president really upset Trump by 277 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: begging him to lower tariffs on the country repeatedly, and 278 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: Trump hit back. 279 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 10: He said, no, no, no, please, you cannot do it. 280 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 10: Kept saying the same thing over and over. We are 281 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 10: a small country, he said, but you're a big country 282 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 10: in terms of and he just rubbed me the wrong way. 283 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, so weird, so weird. I 284 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: was actually wondering whether Luxeon has ever texted. I don't 285 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: think would he have his number? Would lux And have 286 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: Trump's number? Do we think if you had it? You 287 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: wouldn't text him, would you? Because your text could be 288 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: leaked or you'd just be very very careful and cautious 289 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: about what you texted him. Anyway, the Board of Peace 290 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: that he's got for Gaza, a whole bunch of countries 291 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 3: are starting to come out because he invited Luxon on 292 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: that maybe he did text him for that have come 293 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: out and said yay or nay to the invite. I'll 294 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: tell you who's in and who is art. News Talk, 295 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: said Big. 296 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: The day's newsmakers talk to Ryan First, Ryan Bridge on 297 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: hither dupilesy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and the 298 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: power of satellite mobile News Talks in b im overwenty five. 299 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: You're on news Talks. It'd be great to have your 300 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: coming this afternoon. This pole is interesting, isn't it, because well, 301 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: it's basically doing what I said yesterday would do, which 302 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: is no surprise to anyone. Wins from Peter's surging ahead 303 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 3: twelve percent for New Zealand first, which is a very 304 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: impressive result if you look at the let's take the Greens, 305 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: and let's add in to party Maldi and New Zealand 306 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: First is ahead of those two combined with an extra 307 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: more than an extra point ahead. In fact, if you 308 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: put together ACT and the Greens then you get fourteen 309 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: and Winston's on almost twelve. So I mean it's an 310 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: impressive result no matter which way you look at it. 311 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: Labour is up two point eight points forty three, sorry 312 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 3: thirty four, National up slightly to thirty one point five. 313 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: As I said, New Zealand First Greens are down three. 314 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: So basically what it means is the coalition returns to power. 315 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: On these numbers, Winston has more Sway has more seats 316 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: around the cabinet table. Luxen still the most the most 317 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: preferred in the prime minister stakes, nineteen point five percent, 318 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: ahead of Chippy who is on eighteen.

Time to talk about all of this. 321 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: It's the world wires on news talks. 322 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 3: They'd be drive Trump's backing down on Greenland, no military action, 323 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: no tariffs. 324 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 10: Can we never got anything, probably won't get anything unless 325 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 10: they just say to use successive strength and force where 326 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 10: we would be frankly unstoppable. 327 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: But I want to do that. Okay. 328 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: Now every would say oh good, okay, but just so 329 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: we know if he did, it would be really bad. 330 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: The coalition in Australia split the second time this parliamentary term. 331 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 3: Nationals leader David Little Proud Caesars Party just can't keep 332 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 3: working with the Liberal Party as long as Susan Lee. 333 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: Is in charge. 334 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 11: So we're at a juncture where no one was prepared 335 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 11: to serve in Susan lee ministry and she has what's 336 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 11: the coalition into an untenable position. 337 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 12: That's the sad place that we've got to. 338 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: Well did you hear the Cicada action going on in 339 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: the background of that one. Finally, this afternoon, the CEO 340 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: of budget airline Ryanier has been having a spat with 341 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 3: Elon Musk, so Elon had to go Ryanire. I don't 342 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 3: know if you saw this. This is on Twitter because 343 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: Ryanier chose not to put Starlink on their planes. Now, 344 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 3: in response to this, the Ryanean CEO has put on 345 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: a big idiot sale in Elon Musk's honor. 346 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 13: And we're later on this morning going round to the 347 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 13: ex officers in Cumberland host to present or to give 348 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 13: Elon Musk a free ticket. He doesn't even have to 349 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 13: be the Safety nine a free Ryanier ticket to thank 350 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 13: him for the wonderful. 351 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 14: Boost in publicity. 352 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance Peace of mind 353 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 354 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 3: Maury Olds is for us from Australia. 355 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 9: Marry good afternoon, Hello Buddy, good afternoon to you. 356 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: So the coalition's just falling apart at the seams, just. 357 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 9: Array, disarray. You heard the Nationals party leader there, listen, 358 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 9: a tiny little rural rump very much the junior partner 359 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 9: and the coalition talk about tail wagging the dog. This 360 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 9: little proud, hopeless leader hopeless but you know, hated within 361 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 9: his own party. But if you look across the aisle 362 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 9: to the coalition part of the Liberals, then I mean, 363 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 9: all you're going to do is change the badge because 364 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 9: Susan Lee is hated. Susan Lee is hated by many 365 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 9: of her own side. And you know the Nationals won't 366 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 9: be involved in any shadow ministry, shadow cabinet will. I mean, frankly, 367 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 9: big deal who gives the rats for Susan Lee had 368 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 9: time in the top job, appears to be almost over 369 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 9: what's the future. The Liberals themselves are split between the 370 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 9: moderates and the Conservatives. The Nationals for their part, the 371 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 9: Country Party, the rural rump absolutely petrified of Pauline Hanson 372 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 9: in One Nation with surging in the polls. As Australian 373 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 9: voters say, for God's sake, is there no one on 374 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 9: the right of politics we can vote for? They look 375 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 9: at the Liberals and they are absolutely shocked and horrified 376 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 9: and disgusted with the fact that most of them are 377 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 9: in the middle, because that's where you're go to form 378 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 9: government in Australia. The right wing isn't going to do 379 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 9: it unless the Nationals hop into bed with Pauline Hanson. 380 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 9: In One Nation, a modern liberal party is not conservative enough, 381 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 9: but the hard right wingers voters are fleeing the Libs 382 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 9: and the Nats for one nation. Look at the latest polls, 383 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 9: Pauline Hansen's party outrags the Liberals and Nationals combined now 384 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 9: Labor loving it chaos on the other side, helping bury 385 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 9: memories of what's been frankly a dreadful month for Anthony 386 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 9: Albanezi since the Bondai Beach massacre. He refused the Royal 387 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 9: Commission refused to recall parliament. He did both and the 388 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 9: coalitions fall into pieces. Plus he's got through parliament legislation 389 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 9: on hate speech and gun reform. All in all, a 390 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 9: pretty good result for labor, dreadful for those who want 391 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 9: to vote to the right in australiayah. 392 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 3: And it was meant to be bad for him, wasn't 393 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: it them? All of this stuffsolutely Now the National Day 394 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 3: of Rememberance speaking of Bondi for Bondai happening today, that's. 395 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 9: Right, happening today with flags across the country at half mass. 396 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 9: There's to be a minute's silence this evening at one 397 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 9: minute past seven. We're being encouraged as a nation to 398 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 9: go out and do mitzvah's. A mitzvah in Yiddish is 399 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 9: an active, an active generosity or kindness. You might, I 400 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 9: don't know, help someone across the street, an older person 401 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 9: carry their groceries of the car. It could be anything, basically, 402 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 9: to think of someone else other than yourself. The Sydney 403 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 9: Opera House to be the center point of all of this, 404 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 9: with a major memorial service tonight. Anthony Ibneazi there today. 405 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 9: He's called on all of us all Australians to basically 406 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 9: wrap our arms around our Jewish community and obviously condemning 407 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 9: that dreadful, active evil. Still shake my head. I can't 408 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 9: get my head around it. But at the same time 409 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 9: these half words as an organization called March for Australia 410 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 9: is planning a new round of national demonstrations on Australia Day, 411 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 9: which is January twenty six. Some of these people involved 412 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 9: in this March for Australia, we're told, were previously involved 413 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 9: in Neo Nazi White Australia Party. Well, they had to 414 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 9: switch allegiances because Neo Nazi's been officially banned. Well, whoops, 415 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 9: where are we going to do our dumb stuff? Now, 416 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 9: let's go and do it with this outfit called March 417 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 9: for Australia white supremacists who don't want immigration. 418 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: Well, good luck with that sport, Yeah, and good luck 419 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 3: and now finally the stained sadly with Tiarra techs. Someone's 420 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: been charged with planning one in Queensland. 421 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, this is a twenty four year old student accused 422 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 9: of planning to throw Molotov cocktails at a crowd on 423 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 9: the Gold Coast which would be there gathered to mark 424 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 9: Australia day now. He apparently he was planning the attack 425 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 9: using artificial intelligence, although he didn't apparently go to Bunnings 426 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 9: and buy some of the goods you need to make 427 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 9: Bolotov cocktails. I'm not sure what he's studying, this fellow. 428 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 9: I don't think it would involve IQ's either about seventeen. 429 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 9: But anyway, he applied for Bayo. Yeah, good luck with 430 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 9: that too. Sorry, he says the magistrate. You're a half 431 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 9: whid supplying you know, hate around the country via the Internet. 432 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 9: He bought bottles of alcohol, wrapping paper blankets, and he 433 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 9: urged people in Melbourne let them know they can start 434 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 9: buying vodka bottles early and stop piling batches. And this 435 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 9: fellow also told the court he expected to die during 436 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 9: his attack on the Gold Coast unless he was killed 437 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 9: or the bottomized first by Australia's domestic spy agency ASIO. 438 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 9: I think for his own safety, this guy's been reminded 439 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 9: and custody. You wouldn't send the guy to the shop 440 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 9: for milk. It'd probably come back with a loaf of bread. 441 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: Do you know what his cause was? 442 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 9: Oh, just pissed off with something. 443 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 2: No idea. 444 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 9: I mean that will emerge, that will emerge. But today 445 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 9: the magistrate said, are you kidding as he sent him downstairs. 446 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: Appreciate it, thank you, Murray Old's Australia correspondent. It is 447 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: seventeen minutes away from five news talks, he'd be. So 448 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 3: it's interesting and somebody has texted in to make the point. 449 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: But the sort of comparison between what's happening in Australia 450 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: with Pauline Hanson and one nation, what's happening in the 451 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: UK with Nigel Faraje. And now you could argue in 452 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: this poll with Winston Peters up on twelve percent, surging 453 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 3: the populists, the anti immigration, that whole rhetoric is getting traction, 454 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: isn't it just very quickly before we get kauz Azzari 455 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 3: will be with us next on this pole. But if 456 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: you look at the right track wrong track, and this 457 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 3: is the thing that more often than not determines who 458 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 3: will win the election is do you feel like the 459 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: country is on the right track or do you feel 460 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 3: like the country is on the wrong track. That recovered 461 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 3: and the coalition was very happy, national particular, very happy 462 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: that that number recovered at the end of last year. 463 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: In the polls, it's actually taken a step backwards. So 464 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 3: even though the coalition has stepped forward in this result, 465 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: that particular number has set backwards. So the net direction 466 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 3: right track, wrong track was on negative sixteen point four percent. 467 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 3: That's a backward step of nine point eight points. So 468 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 3: that is not a good thing. But we'll talk to Azaria. 469 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: How about all of this. 470 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: Next politics was centric cre to check your customers and 471 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: get payment certainty. 472 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: Burn into five news talks to be We'll get to 473 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell after five. Azaria, how's with us now, senior 474 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 3: political correspondents in Wellington. Zari, good afternoon, Good afternoon. 475 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 15: Good to be with you. 476 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 3: And this poll has got Winston probably, I mean he 477 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: doesn't like poles, but probably celebrating anyway. 478 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 15: A new year, a new poll. This is a big 479 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 15: one Rattana obviously taking place tomorrow. The election date was 480 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 15: announced yesterday. Seems like parties are trying to shape up 481 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 15: how the campaign is going to look. Let's get into it, 482 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 15: as you say, huge gains for New Zealand first, a 483 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 15: record high for that party eleven point nine percent, so 484 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 15: well into the double digits, and a rise of three 485 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 15: point eight percent in terms of that compared to the 486 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 15: last poll. Labor is up two point eight percent to 487 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 15: thirty four point four. National is up one and a 488 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 15: half percent to thirty one point five. The Greens, though, 489 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 15: have seen the biggest drop. They're down three point one 490 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 15: points to seven point seven percent. Meanwhile Actor is down 491 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 15: one point nine points. They're below the Greens, They're on 492 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 15: seven percent. Tepatimari setting on three percent. The poll would 493 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 15: see the coalition re elected, but it does come with 494 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 15: the fact that National is behind Labor on party vote numbers. 495 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 15: The big headline of this so huge momentum for New Zealand. 496 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: First, absolutely now government's books are looking better than expected. 497 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 15: It's good news today for the government's books. Treasuries released 498 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 15: the interim financial statements for the five months to the 499 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 15: end of November. Things are looking better than initially thought so. 500 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 15: Crunching the numbers, the operating balance was that at a 501 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 15: surplus of three and a half billion dollars. That's compared 502 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 15: to a forecast deficit of zero point two billion. Although 503 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 15: the debt to GDP ratio is still not on target, 504 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 15: the government is want it to track below forty percent. 505 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 15: The latest numbers show net core Crown debt was nine 506 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 15: hundred million dollars lower than forecast, but it is at 507 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 15: forty one point six percent of GDP. The forecast, though, 508 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 15: did estimate this to be at forty one point nine percent, 509 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 15: so it is a better result than expectations, something not unexpected, 510 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 15: but is worth pointing out. Superannuation. It appears to be 511 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 15: significantly to blame for core Crown expenses being higher in 512 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 15: the twenty twenty five period than the same period the 513 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 15: year prior, a two billion dollar increase, and notably, social 514 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 15: security and welfare expenses increased by one point one billion dollars, 515 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 15: a whole billion of that due to superannuation payments, essentially 516 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 15: a growing number of people becoming eligible for the pension. 517 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 3: My dad's in that camp you just got as gold 518 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: card sent in the mail, is gloating about it. 519 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 15: Meanwhile, I'm sure that debate will kick off as well 520 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 15: around the election in terms of the superage. It always does. 521 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 15: And you'd have to think one point one billion dollars 522 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 15: one billion of them, you'd probably expect the debate. 523 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: They don't deserve it. They don't deserve it of politicians. 524 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 3: Art Torow, what are we expecting to see there? 525 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, Arts in a very significant essentially marks the start 526 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 15: of the political year. MP's planning to gather in the 527 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 15: Central North Island Pass site that is near Wanganui. It 528 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 15: is a really significant political leader, though, has decided not 529 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 15: to attend this year's Ratana Church celebrations that is Odawiti 530 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 15: Way City. He's the co leader of Tepati Mali. He's 531 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 15: posted on social media saying he made the decision not 532 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 15: to travel there this year. He's going to remain in 533 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 15: Wyotiki to support any recovery needs from that severe weather. 534 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 15: No final call yet from the Prime Minister on if 535 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 15: he will be able to make it given that severe weather. 536 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 15: We will keep you updated on those plans, but currently 537 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 15: it is believed that Luxin is planning to attend. Chris 538 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 15: Hopkins also planning to be there, as are Winston Peters 539 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 15: and the co leaders of the Greens. A really important 540 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 15: time last year saw David Seymour step out and he 541 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 15: held a speech about his Treaty Principles Bill at the 542 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 15: same time. Given its election year, we might see some 543 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 15: of the same tactics or similar tactics again a bit 544 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 15: of politeching, as Seymour is notably not a fan of 545 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 15: the event. So first up, it's an after that we'll 546 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 15: have our eyes on white tonguey as the next big event. 547 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 3: Cheers, Azariah, good to have you on as always. Zaria 548 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: how senior political correspondent for News Talks Here b it's 549 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 3: nine to five and Bridge try not everyone who has 550 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 3: reservations about mass immigration and a legal immigration is a 551 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 3: white supremacist or a Nazi. Yes, that is very true. 552 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 3: He has said that this text is saying Murray Old's 553 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: kind of implied that if you go down that track, 554 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: or if you push that button, that you must be 555 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: I agree, it doesn't make you just because you have 556 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 3: a problem with mass immigration or particularly a legal immigration, 557 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: that does not make you a nasty old right white supremacist. 558 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 3: Ryan acts dropping to seven percent in this polse is 559 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: this text so only seven percent of voters want to 560 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 3: balance budget and to reduce government debt? How sad? 561 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: Yes? 562 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: And no, because if you look at what the ACT 563 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: Party has focused on, and I talk to a lot 564 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 3: of people about that side of politics, and if you 565 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: look at what they have focused on in the last 566 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 3: this term, would you say it is lower taxes? And 567 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: would you say it is balancing budgets and If that 568 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: is not the message that voters are hearing, then that 569 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: is not the message that they are voting for. So 570 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: I don't think the two things are necessarily go together. 571 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 3: They look like and they have looked like, the party 572 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 3: that's against co governance, you know, that's been their main 573 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: policy plank of this term that and I guess a 574 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: bit of regulation around the side.

But my commitment to South 591 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 18: Africa was four years and I've always wanted to honor that. 592 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 18: I said, I'm just so frustrated that no one talked 593 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 18: to me two years ago. 594 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 12: So that's rugby and that's coaching. 595 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 3: Back tomorrow at six am the Mike Husking Breakfast with 596 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 3: the Defendant News Talk z B. It is five minutes 597 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: away from five What is Hopkins doing? This was his 598 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: response when he was asked about the poll today, which, 599 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 3: by the way, it's good for the coalition. The Coalition 600 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 3: is doing well, doing better than they did at the 601 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 3: end of last year. Even it's sort of extending their lead. 602 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 3: But also Labor was still the number one party polling 603 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 3: party in the poll. 604 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 2: However, Poles bounce around a lot. 605 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 6: Even in the dodgy Texpayer Union poll, Labor supporters significantly 606 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 6: high than it was on election day two and a 607 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 6: half years ago. 608 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: Weird strategy, weird way to start the year. Hey, don't 609 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 3: listen to the polls, Like, why don't you want people 610 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 3: to listen to the poles or you worry that they're 611 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 3: going to turn on you? Doesn't sound very confident in 612 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: my mind. Now to Gaza, Trump has stopped all the 613 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: wars save the Middle East, of course, and he's got 614 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: his Board of Peace and sent out a whole bunch 615 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 3: of invitations to different countries, saying to the leaders, you 616 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 3: can join the Board of Peace. He's asked Putin, He's 617 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: asked Luxen as well. We're not sure what his responses. 618 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 3: He asked Pope Leo, for goodness sake. So everyone's had 619 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 3: an invite, well almost everyone, and some are now saying yes. 620 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 3: So so far in the yes camp Aremenia, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Egypt, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Morocco, Pakistan, 621 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 3: the uav and Vietnam. They've all said yes, and then 622 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: everyone else at this stage quite undecided. We're not quite 623 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: sure who's going to join. But we're going to talk 624 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 3: to Matt Tyrrel, who was Marco Rubio's former chief of staff, 625 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 3: about Gaza, but about Greenland because Trump's done the big 626 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: back down, no tariffs, no military action. So what is 627 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: this new framework that he's talking about. Is it actually 628 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 3: anything or is it just hottier and nonsense. Well ask 629 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: Matt Cheryl. He's here afternoons, the. 630 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: Only drive show you can try to ask the questions, 631 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: get the answers, find the fact and give the analysis. 632 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge on Hither Duplicy Ellen. 633 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: Drive with one New Zealand and the power of satellite 634 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: mobile news talk said. 635 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: The seven after five will go to this landslide.

You know, what the families are 655 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 19: going through at the moment is their loved ones, a 656 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 19: lot of uncertainty, and we're still working police are still 657 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 19: working through a process in terms of who was on 658 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 19: the camp, who's still missing. 659 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 16: So I just don't want to get into numbers. 660 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 3: No fair enough. So at this stage they're still not 661 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 3: c on how many people might have left the camp 662 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 3: and not told people or not checked out. So there's 663 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 3: that uncertainty there. 664 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 19: Yeah, exactly, and that did happen and there was a 665 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 19: few that which is completely totally understandable.

Everyone's trying to cheer that burden 676 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 19: with them. But yeah, as you can imagine, it's very 677 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 19: very tough somber. You know, our first responders are just 678 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 19: quite simply. 679 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 16: Doing an outstanding job. 680 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 19: As you can imagine, it's a really difficult environment to 681 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 19: operate in, but they're really getting on with the work 682 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 19: and they're doing a very good job. 683 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 3: How much land came down, it must have been a 684 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 3: hell of a lot. 685 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 19: Yeah, it's significant, so you'd be quite shocked when you 686 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 19: see it. There's a lot of earth that has moved, 687 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 19: and you can just see the enormity and the size 688 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 19: of the job facing our friends and our use operators 689 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 19: who are outstanding. 690 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 16: We've got the right equipment there. 691 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 19: We've had the dogs over the site and there's a 692 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 19: massive amount of resource of work going into starting to 693 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 19: try and clear and rescue the people that are under there. 694 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 3: What are the dogs therefore. 695 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 16: They'll detect that trained you know obviously through scent, their 696 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 16: scent to be able to detect people. 697 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 2: And have they I don't know. 698 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 16: I haven't had the results back on that. 699 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 3: I just know they put the dogs over mark. What 700 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 3: about were heard from our reporter who's there actually about 701 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 3: a woman who was going around and warning people, trying 702 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 3: to get people out of the camp. You know, wake up, 703 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 3: leave because this is an unsafe place. Have you heard 704 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 3: of stories like that, you know, people doing heroic things, 705 00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 3: amazing things. 706 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 16: No, I haven't heard, No, I haven't. That information hasn't 707 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 16: come to me. 708 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 19: But certainly over the last few days, in the last 709 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 19: twenty four hours, there's definitely been some heroic people, members 710 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 19: of the public, our first responders, police and firefighters. It's 711 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 19: been a tough you know, forty eight hours, there's no 712 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 19: doubt about that, and especially up north we we had 713 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 19: isolated communities that were hit earlier in the week as well. 714 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 3: Does the recovery operation, the rescue operation, does that just 715 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 3: keep going until they find people? 716 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 19: Now? 717 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 3: Like, is it going through the night twenty four to seven? 718 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 16: Yeah, it does. 719 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 19: Because we haven't only got this site at the Mount, 720 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 19: we've also got a site at Welcome Bay two where 721 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 19: one of the slips has come through, taken a house out. 722 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 19: Two of the people have been recovered, they're okay, but 723 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 19: we've still got two people missing. 724 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell, who's the Emergency Management minist appreciate your time. Tonight, 725 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 3: eleven after five. 726 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge. 727 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump says he's got a deal on Greenland's The 728 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 3: US President's backtracking on threats to seize the Danish territory 729 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter. No detail yet 730 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 3: on exactly what has been agreed to Trump. No longer 731 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 3: intent on slapping tariffs on Europe. Also, no longer. You'll 732 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 3: be pleased. You can breathe a sigh of relief. Europe 733 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 3: won't be sending the troops in. Matt Tyrrell is a 734 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 3: former chief of staff to Marco Rubio's presidential campaign. With 735 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 3: me tonight, Matt good evening. 736 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 20: Hey, er Ian gread to be with you. 737 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: So what's the game plan here for Trump on Greenland? 738 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 3: Do you think is this the last will hear of it? 739 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 4: Or what? 740 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 20: Well, look, I think that this framework there's a cheat. 741 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 20: Today is really a major step forward. And obviously here's 742 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 20: a more negotiation will be done here in the coming days. 743 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 20: But look, this is ending up or is it always 744 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 20: going to end up? And that is President Trump getting 745 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 20: what he wants with respect to Greenwind, which he has 746 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 20: been clearer that is vital for both national security and 747 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 20: other purposes. And look, we'll see this all goes. But 748 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 20: this is a major win for President Trump, for the 749 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 20: United States and for the safety and security of the world. 750 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 3: But what's he actually won. What is the framework because 751 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 3: you can put you know, there's the military base there already, 752 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 3: you can searche the troop numbers if you want. What 753 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: else is there that he needs to want? 754 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 20: Sure, well, look, we'll see where this all takes shape here. 755 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 20: But based on the reporting, it appears that there's going 756 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 20: to be the ability, it sounds like for the United 757 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 20: States to gain control of key pockets of land in Greenleveon. 758 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 20: You put in place President Trump's Golden Dome for missile defense. 759 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 20: We'll see where this all goes. But I suspect the 760 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 20: ability for the United States to have the presidence that 761 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 20: is required to counter China, to counter Russia. So obviously 762 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 20: this is building a treat if the United States has 763 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 20: with Greenland in terms of the ability to have a 764 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 20: military presence already there. But it's critical for President Trump, 765 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 20: in his eyes, at least to boaster that, to ensure 766 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 20: that we enhance that. And really it comes down to 767 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 20: China Russia encountering what they're doing in that part of 768 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 20: the world. Greenland is vital for nast security. It's not 769 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 20: as President Trump, who's believed that President Truman, a Democrat, 770 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 20: tried to acquire Greenland in the United States has acquired 771 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 20: land before Louisiana, Alaska. Those are key examples. The bottom 772 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 20: line is that this is vital for nasal security. Person 773 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 20: Trump has been clear about that, and this is a 774 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 20: win for him. This is a step forward. But obviously 775 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 20: more discussion are going to take place here between President 776 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 20: Trump and his foreign policy team. As foreign policy team 777 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 20: talk with the necessary parties on this, we'll see what 778 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 20: takes shape here in terms of next steps. But this 779 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 20: was a significant move forward. And again this ended where 780 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 20: he's always going to end, President Trump, moving the ball forward, 781 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 20: the United States having a great presence in Greenland. 782 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean it's that playbook, the big threat 783 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 3: and then the compromise and then getting probably what he 784 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 3: really wanted in the first place. Who's next? You know, 785 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 3: we've had Venezuela, We've had Greenland. Who else should be 786 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 3: is on the list? 787 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 20: Well, A lot of what President Trump is doing right 788 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 20: now is really the counter China, in the growing presence 789 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 20: of China. But also it's about Iran. You know, obviously 790 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 20: Iran is a top of mind right now for people 791 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 20: around the world, particularly for the people in Iran right now, 792 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 20: who are of course are taking to the streets and protesting, 793 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 20: and that's going to be obviously something to watch here. 794 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 20: You know President Trump did in Venezuela, well, it's in 795 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 20: part to put for the pressure on Iran. You know 796 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 20: a lot of what he's doing around the world is 797 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 20: you know, playing within four dimensional chess. And the bottom 798 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 20: line here is all of this is interconnected in many ways. 799 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 20: What he's doing on Greenland is countering China and Russia. 800 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 20: What he did in Venezuela in many ways was trying 801 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 20: to counter other threats beyond what Nicholas Maduro presented. So 802 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 20: you know, this is something that President Trump has really 803 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 20: going on the offensive right now. National security, protecting the 804 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 20: United States. Ultimately, this is a part of his America 805 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 20: First agenda, how do you make America more prosperous, safer, 806 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 20: and more secure, And in part that's obviously looking at 807 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 20: what other threats are out there. Iran's a major one 808 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 20: to watch, and we'll see what takes place. 809 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 3: With that coming days too. Matt, appreciate that.

So these are migration stats out. Looks 818 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 3: like the worst of it might be over. Migration stats 819 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 3: out for the year to November. The rate of Kiwi 820 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 3: citizens leaving the country has fallen since June, and we 821 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 3: had a small net population gain of about ten thousand 822 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 3: for the year to November. Brad Olsen is Infametric's principal 823 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 3: economist with us tonight, Brad, Good evening. 824 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 21: Good evening, Ryan. 825 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 3: So we're not all moving to Australia anymore, is that 826 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 3: what we're saying? What are we saying? 827 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 21: Well, I think you're exactly right that we've seen most 828 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 21: of the trends effectively plateau. So you know, instead of 829 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 21: seeing huge numbers of Kiwis that have continued to move out, Yes, 830 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 21: are still high, but they're not continuing to increase. They're 831 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 21: sort of now moving a bit more sideways. And when 832 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 21: you look at those figures of Kiwi's moving to Australia 833 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 21: and sort of the overall net gain there that does 834 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 21: seem to be again easing back, just ever so slightly 835 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 21: in recent times. Long story short, probably the most interesting 836 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 21: thing with these figures is not only the headline figure, 837 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 21: like you say, roughly ten thousand was the net migration 838 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 21: figure over the last twelve months, but also the revisions 839 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 21: in terms of people coming into the country as well. 840 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 21: The arrival figures and departures have both been revised lower 841 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 21: in November compared to what we had previously, and it 842 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 21: just sort of in our minds when we look through 843 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 21: those figures, just suggests that there's not quite as much 844 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 21: intensity in terms of both the number of people still 845 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 21: coming in, which was always hard to understand when you 846 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 21: looked at the likes of the higher unemployment rate, but also, 847 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 21: like you say, not quite as many people leaving as 848 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,240 Speaker 21: we might have first expected. 849 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 3: So has the whole thing been a bit overhyped? 850 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 21: Well, I mean, in a sense we're still yet to 851 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 21: see fully even the most recent figures are still quite volatile, 852 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 21: and you do see those revisions come through quite a bit. 853 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 21: But now we're sort of getting a little bit more 854 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 21: certainty around the data for what happens sort of more 855 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 21: mid twenty twenty five, and that certainly suggests that again 856 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 21: some of those primary expectations might have been a bit overhyped, 857 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 21: and part of it seems to be when you dig 858 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 21: into the figures, it's sort of hard to tell when 859 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 21: someone leaves the country if they're going to be a 860 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 21: migrant or if they're just going on holiday and maybe 861 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 21: a longer holiday an I dare expect that when you 862 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 21: look in some of the figures, it might well have 863 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 21: been that there were a few more kiwis that were 864 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 21: taking trips to Australia. But it also might have been 865 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 21: that people have been looking overseas at jobs. They might 866 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 21: have moved figured out that actually there's not as many 867 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 21: sort of just heaps of spare jobs overseas compared to 868 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 21: New Zealand, and actually might well have had to come back. 869 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 21: You've been hearing more anecdotes of that recently as well, 870 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 21: so there's a combination of things. But it does seem like, look, 871 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 21: the migration figures do seem to be trending out a 872 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 21: bit more at where they currently are, rather than dipping 873 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 21: up or dipping down particularly. 874 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 3: Quickly interesting stuff. Brad appreciated Brad Elsen infor metrics. It's 875 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 3: good to have you on the show as always. Twenty 876 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 3: one after five. Next, the boss of JP has said 877 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 3: something that I think is interesting. I think you will too, 878 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 3: about AI and about the robots that are coming for 879 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 3: our jobs. That's next. 880 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,879 Speaker 1: For the name you trumped to get the answers you need, 881 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: it's Ryan Bridge on either duplessy Ellen Drive with one 882 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: New Zealand coverage like no one else news talks. 883 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 3: They'd be twenty three after five if you don't know him. 884 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 3: Jamie Diamond is the boss of JP Morgan and quite 885 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 3: a smart guy, which obviously you need to be to 886 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 3: run a bank. Well, one would assume you need to 887 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 3: be quite smart to run a bank. I've mentioned him 888 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 3: a few times on the show because he just says 889 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 3: some reasonable and practical things about some big issues. And 890 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 3: he's spoken about AI. He reckons we need to slow 891 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: it down, calm the farm a little bit, and if 892 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 3: we don't slow down, society he reckons could tear itself apart. 893 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 3: And he's not talking about in ten years, he's talking 894 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 3: about soon. And he gives an example in the US, 895 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 3: there are two million truck drivers who could soon be 896 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 3: out of a job when driverless trucks hit the road. 897 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,839 Speaker 3: That's two million men and women going from a pay 898 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,280 Speaker 3: packet of up to one hundred and fifty thousand American 899 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 3: dollars a year too unemployed. The skills not transferable. His answer, 900 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 3: slow it down, phase the technology in rather than hit 901 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 3: society all at once, and then you'll probably have to 902 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 3: get some government payouts to compensate them. Otherwise, he says, 903 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 3: you will get civil unrest, You'll get chaos in the streets. 904 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,479 Speaker 3: In New Zealand, we have ubers, we have taxis ripe 905 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 3: for a robo takeover. Same goes for public transport. Robots 906 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 3: will probably drive buses before long, which will certainly stop 907 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 3: the violence, unfortunately that they face, especially in Auckland and 908 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 3: the driver's seat from nutty passengers, but it does leave 909 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 3: them out of work without a meaningful alternative or transferable skills. 910 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 3: Driverless way mow taxis in the US are taking off, 911 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,760 Speaker 3: and the serious crash rate is about ninety percent better 912 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 3: than we're humans. 913 00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 16: I know. 914 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 3: Go figure. The problem with phasing things in slowly, though 915 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 3: pumping the brakes is that you miss out on the 916 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 3: productivity gains. And just because you pump the brakes, it 917 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 3: doesn't mean that your competitors will. It doesn't mean that 918 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 3: other countries will do the same. And nobody's going to 919 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 3: get in the way of progress, are they? Which leaves 920 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 3: us with the social problem that Jamie Diamond was getting 921 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 3: it in the first place. How do we make sure 922 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 3: the world doesn't go to hell in a handbasket when 923 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 3: the robots come for our jobs and our livelihoods? Cry 924 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 3: and Bridge two the number to text, would love your 925 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: feedback on that. Twenty six minutes after five, Let's go 926 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,879 Speaker 3: to Trump over Davos, because he kept talking about wanting 927 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 3: to take Greenland. But do you mean Greenland or did 928 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 3: you mean something else? 929 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 10: And I've chilled the last few days. When I told 930 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 10: him about Iceland, they loved me. I don't know that 931 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 10: they'd be there for us. I'm helping I'm helping Europe, 932 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 10: I'm helping NATO. And I've chilled the last few days. 933 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 10: When I told them about Iceland, they loved me. I 934 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 10: don't know that they'd be there for us. They're not 935 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 10: there for us on Iceland. There they can tell you. 936 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 10: Mero stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Aceland. 937 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 10: So Aceland's already costs US a lot of money. But 938 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 10: that dip is peanuts compared to what it's going on. 939 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,240 Speaker 3: I think he's just a bit tired. I mean he's 940 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 3: nearing eighty. He was on a plane that had to 941 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 3: turn around and start again, doing much better than Barton. 942 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 3: You'd have to say that a't Ryan Greenland has substantial oil, 943 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 3: gas and critical mineral resources. Yes, and all the ice 944 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 3: is melting so to be a trade route before you 945 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 3: know it. But he says not about that, not about that. 946 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 3: It's the Golden Dome that's going to save America and 947 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 3: keep America safe. So we will believe that for now, Farmac. 948 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 3: This decision on cystic fibrosis is fantastic. We'll get to 949 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 3: it next. 950 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in 951 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home. It's Ryan Bridge on 952 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: hither Ellen Drive with one New Zealand had the power 953 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: of satellite mobile news talks, they'd be. 954 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 15: Coming. 955 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 3: Please don't go Parli twenty five away from six year 956 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 3: on news talks.

The lakes are 959 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 3: filling up great, excellent, so we'll have cheap power or 960 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 3: winter there'll be no shortage. They'll be no. I mean 961 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 3: they did tell us, didn't they last year, that this 962 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 3: year and next year we should be all g and 963 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 3: after that is when we might run into some problems. 964 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 3: Although now that they've done the deal with the coal 965 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,760 Speaker 3: at Huntley, apparently all of our problems have gone away. Anyway, 966 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 3: we'll check in with your power bills, Malcolm John's. That's 967 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 3: after six. 968 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 2: Tonight, Great Ryan Bridge. 969 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 3: The huge news announced today for kids who suffer from 970 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 3: cystic fibrosis.

Tell us about what this 978 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 3: actually means, this decision, because for a lot of people 979 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 3: it sounds like something's happening from farmac. You know, we 980 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 3: get these drug announcements. What does it actually mean for 981 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 3: the likes of your son Luca. 982 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,800 Speaker 17: It basically means that he gets every opportunity to thrive 983 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 17: in his life. From what we've been told from our doctors, 984 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 17: tri caft is probably the most transformative drug that they've 985 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 17: ever seen, so that you know, it doubles life expectancy 986 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 17: of people that suffer from siss fibrosis. So having early 987 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 17: access for Luca from two years old means it just 988 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,839 Speaker 17: gives him every opportunity to live a normal, healthy life. 989 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 3: Does it mean that his body would have been undergoing 990 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 3: or being damaged in a way that would have shortened 991 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 3: his life for that you know, that would have been 992 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 3: happening for four years extra. 993 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 17: Yeah, that's basically what the research was saying. That Like 994 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 17: it was all well and good that it was funded 995 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 17: from six but the you know, kids are sort of 996 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 17: pot out in the open and ready to ready to 997 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 17: explore from an earlier age and when they're at kindergarten 998 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 17: and entering school and so they're exposed to a lot 999 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 17: of bugs, and kids like Luca, when they are exposed 1000 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 17: to those bugs. They're at significantly higher risk of holding 1001 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 17: a lot of that bacteria within their body. So the 1002 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 17: vital organs you liver, lungs, ancreous kidneys of a susceptible 1003 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 17: to far greater risk. 1004 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 3: What about the Australia question, because I've read a lot 1005 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 3: of people, a lot of parents have either gone there 1006 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 3: to get the drug because it's funded, or have basically 1007 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 3: a go bag and a plan to go. 1008 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 6: Yep, that was my wife, Courtney and me. 1009 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 17: I'd already spoken to my boss over in Australia about 1010 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 17: the potential for us to move over if things got 1011 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 17: worse with Luca, and we were absolutely ready to pull 1012 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 17: the trigger if it meant that we would give him 1013 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 17: better opportunities. And we know a lot of people within 1014 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 17: the cistic fibrosis community that have done it already. So 1015 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 17: hopefully the news today sort of gives them hope that 1016 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 17: if there was an opportunity for them to come home, 1017 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 17: they can. 1018 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 3: Just as a dad, you know, life expectancy going and 1019 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 3: doctors saying this, going from thirty to sixty, do you 1020 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 3: just start thinking about a whole bunch of things that 1021 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 3: you maybe didn't let yourself think about. 1022 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 17: Absolutely, it's yeah, when we first heard the news that 1023 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 17: Luca had I had no idea what cystic fibrosis was. 1024 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 17: And then you start to research it and you realize 1025 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,879 Speaker 17: just how serious it is, and you start to talk 1026 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 17: to people that you know, and they know someone that 1027 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 17: knew someone that you had a sibling or a sister 1028 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,879 Speaker 17: or a brother that had passed away before these sorts 1029 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 17: of drugs were available, and it just it scares the 1030 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 17: lights out of us that, you know, without these types 1031 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 17: of drugs, that that could have been a situation that 1032 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 17: we would have had to have faced.

I interviewed somebody 1064 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 22: with cystic vibrosis a few years ago, and it was 1065 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 22: a very sad story of never being able to have 1066 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 22: an ongoing serious relationship because of the limited life expectancy 1067 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 22: and the heartbreak that would be involved on two sides. 1068 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 22: So you know, I mean, that's fantastically life changing. 1069 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 3: Very cool, very cool. Now let's go to Trump in Greenland. 1070 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 3: Not so cool, although he's Pikeland. Pikeland, sorry to give me, 1071 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 3: give me back. It's interesting because the you know, this 1072 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 3: time last year when he did all the threats and 1073 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 3: the markets went tanked, you know, twenty percent whatever, every 1074 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 3: went crazy. This time, we're a little more wise to 1075 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 3: it now, aren't we, And we know there's going to 1076 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 3: be some sort of back down Saino. 1077 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, the old Targo effect, isn't it. I mean, I 1078 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 6: just I was just saying to declare. In fact, I 1079 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 6: was talking earlier on today, we're just saying, well, we 1080 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 6: look back and you know, sort of fifteen years time, 1081 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 6: if we're still walking the planet and go look, you 1082 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:13,399 Speaker 6: won't believe what's this maniac there? It's every day. It's 1083 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:14,760 Speaker 6: just incomprehensible. 1084 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,239 Speaker 22: I think it'll be quite well. I mean, I hope 1085 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 22: we're around in fifteen years. Mark for that really poignant conversation. 1086 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 22: But I do think that make Carney hit the nail 1087 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 22: on the head when he said, you know, nostalgia is 1088 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 22: not a strategy, and in fact, you know so much 1089 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 22: as being reset with Trump, He's the most consequential politician 1090 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 22: for a century in that sense, because for example, every 1091 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 22: year people gather at the United Nations in September, occasionally 1092 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 22: the Security Council meets. What does that mean anymore when 1093 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 22: one of the members leading members of this bill, he's 1094 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 22: a permanent member of the of the Security Council. And also, 1095 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,800 Speaker 22: you know, one of the founding members of the United 1096 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 22: Nations and the leading partner in NATO, founding part of 1097 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 22: when when the President of the United States declares that 1098 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 22: it's only his own morality that he answers to. Yeah, 1099 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 22: but what does that actually mean for international order? 1100 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 3: But what did the UN mean anyway when you got 1101 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 3: Russia and China and you got the veto. I mean, 1102 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 3: the whole thing's a joke. 1103 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 22: I wouldn't call it. Oh well, I mean, certainly the 1104 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 22: need to reform it. But over the years, in the 1105 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 22: years gone by, the ones that Mike Canney quite right, 1106 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 22: this is we can't just recreate the effectiveness of it 1107 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 22: has been effective in some situations. I mean when you 1108 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 22: look at peacekeeping forces around the world that have kept 1109 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 22: the peace and still are getting the peace. But I 1110 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 22: get your point. You know, we are having to look forward, 1111 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 22: not back. 1112 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 3: And in some ways Mark is you know, because a 1113 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 3: lot of people say, look, everything he's doing is bad. 1114 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 3: But the outcomes in some ways have been good. Europe, 1115 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 3: for example, stepping up and finally paying its own way 1116 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 3: on defense, which they're starting to do. I mean that 1117 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 3: is a good thing. 1118 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 6: They do have to answer for on that because they 1119 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 6: have been happy to step back and let the let 1120 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 6: the US sort of deal the sort of the heavy spending. 1121 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 6: But they're not out of the woods yet. I mean, 1122 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 6: he's saying they've got this this, this, this deal after 1123 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 6: you know, he was desperate to negotiate with Mark Ruter. 1124 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 6: Of course creageously calls him daddy. 1125 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 22: Yeah that's weird but weird. 1126 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 6: Huh, weird but weird, and Trump loves it. Trump loves 1127 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 6: but they've already that makes But but you know, senior 1128 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 6: people in the Danish Parliament are saying, helo minute, you 1129 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 6: know this deal. You know, there's no mandate to negotiate 1130 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,320 Speaker 6: anything without us. 1131 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 22: But don't you think don't you think it's probably going 1132 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 22: to come down to Mark Rutter and others repackaging what 1133 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 22: effectively exists now and presenting it to Trump as if 1134 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 22: it's a new thing that acknowledges his concerns, that capitulates 1135 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 22: to him in ways that flatter him. So, for example, 1136 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 22: embassies are sovereign territory, so you know, the American embassy 1137 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 22: and Wellington, it's their sovereign territory. We can't send people 1138 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 22: in there, we can't send the police. And for example, 1139 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 22: so the bases that they have there already and that 1140 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 22: they can expand whenever they want, apparently under the existing agreement, 1141 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 22: or they'll call them sovereign US territory presumably not just 1142 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 22: bass and they'll say that that's your you know, your 1143 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 22: inviolable territory. 1144 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 3: And getting on paper. Win, Yeah, give them on paper, Win. 1145 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 22: Repackage it carefully. 1146 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 3: Hey, we'll be back in just a second. Hold that thought, mark, 1147 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 3: Mark Sainsbury and clear the law on the huddle. 1148 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty the only 1149 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: truly global brand. 1150 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 3: Twelve to six News talks. He'll be clear to law 1151 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 3: in Mark Sainsby on the Huddle tonight. Sainso Winston's surging 1152 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 3: in this taxpayer's union career pole twelve percent for close 1153 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 3: to twelve percent for New Zealand for massive do we 1154 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 3: do you think we just give them the Just let 1155 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 3: him b PM once, you know, before his time in politics. 1156 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 3: Just give it to them this year? 1157 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 6: Well, what was that Danish series that they had there 1158 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 6: where they have the minority leader held out to be 1159 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 6: prime minister. I think it might have been Norwegian. It was, 1160 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 6: it was, it was, it was really they just had 1161 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 6: them over a barrel. And look, it's just looking fascinating, 1162 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 6: isn't it. Because you've got the late election. Obviously you 1163 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 6: want the Excell's latest possible because they've got to bank 1164 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 6: everything on an economic recovery. They've got to set of 1165 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 6: see that happens. So you can understand giving them the 1166 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 6: longest time. But you're also just getting back into this 1167 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 6: these periods of people are just getting sick of the 1168 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,919 Speaker 6: major parties. Is that, you know, people aren't necess happy 1169 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 6: with the National Coalition. Luxem just hasn't worked for a 1170 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 6: lot of people. That doesn't mean he's going to go, 1171 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 6: but he just he's not a popular leader. And then 1172 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 6: people are stored but over labor and then you've got 1173 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 6: the Hickins problem. It's just going to be a fascinating year. Yeah, 1174 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 6: I think you're right, right, let him just be prime minister. 1175 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 3: The next year's is it occupied? I think is that 1176 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 3: the one you were thinking of? The Norwegian political TV show? 1177 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 6: I know, yeah, No, that was the one in the 1178 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 6: Russians invaded? Was Borgan? I think it was cool. 1179 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 3: Yes, the woman, the woman, here's the key votes and. 1180 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 6: They said, right, you want to support on Prime Minister. 1181 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 3: That's right. They're all quite good. And they're all on 1182 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 3: Netflix too anyway. 1183 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 22: You know, it's sort of almost like a reality TV 1184 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,160 Speaker 22: show almost. 1185 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 14: Have you watched Brockmeyer? 1186 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 3: No, oh my gosh, oh really? Which where is that 1187 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 3: on Netflix? 1188 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 6: On Netflix? 1189 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 3: Children watch? 1190 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 6: You don't watch it with any kids? 1191 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good, all right, Winston Peter's. 1192 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 22: Clear, Well, I think the poles will bounce around a bit, 1193 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 22: so I wouldn't really just hang hat entirely just on 1194 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 22: this one. As everyone says, it's the trend that matters, 1195 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 22: which will be the most boring oft repeated statement. You're 1196 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 22: here from anyone commenting on the poles, which is a 1197 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 22: very very foolish thing to be doing most of the time. 1198 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 22: And you know, people at the moment. I think Mark's 1199 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 22: right and the sense that people, you know, neither of 1200 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 22: neither Chris nor Christopher set people on fire despite their efforts. 1201 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 22: In the Women's weeklies, for example, you'll notice that Winston 1202 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 22: doesn't do that. You don't get at home with Winston Peters. 1203 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't do that. Person. 1204 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 22: No, despite not doing that sort of mushy thing, he 1205 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 22: manages pretty well to maintain where. 1206 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 3: He is his respect. Did not like to necessarily a yeah. 1207 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,919 Speaker 22: Probably, although you know when people meet him they seem 1208 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 22: to still like him. So I do think that this 1209 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 22: could be his year for you know, it might be 1210 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 22: his final election. 1211 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 23: Who knows that. 1212 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 22: You can never say never with Winston. But I think 1213 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 22: people who are sort of a bit fed up early 1214 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 22: in the piece, they're probably going to say, well, I 1215 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 22: might give Winston Peters go, I might give New Zealand 1216 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 22: first go. Doesn't mean they'll vote that way because they're 1217 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 22: not committed to doing that, but it's a feeling. It's 1218 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 22: a moment in time now, that's how people feel. So 1219 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 22: the challenges obviously on the right for Chris luxman Coe 1220 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 22: to persuade us that make us feel and make real 1221 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 22: this economic recovery. 1222 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Hey, very quickly. 1223 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 6: As they said on the castle, it's all about the vibe. 1224 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 3: That is about the vibe very quickly before we go 1225 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 3: way mow in America is self driving taxis. They are 1226 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 3: taking off and are now becoming apparently quite more aggressive 1227 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 3: on the road. They were quite slow and courteous to 1228 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 3: start with, but are now sort of behaving more like us. 1229 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 3: Would you guys get in one, Mark. 1230 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 6: Yep, Yeah, I mean once you've got I don't know, 1231 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 6: I'm not going to be the first one, but it's 1232 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 6: and I know why, for instance, can't wait since it's 1233 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 6: a fantastico. Now I've got friends, like a dear friend 1234 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,919 Speaker 6: of us, Mary and Ahune doesn't drive. These things would 1235 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 6: change people's lives. Yeah, but we're going to come, you 1236 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 6: know that, sooner or later. But we've got to make 1237 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 6: sure that it actually it's a bit like you know, 1238 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 6: we're talking about old diamond before you know that. They've 1239 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 6: got to manage the technology and make sure it's it's 1240 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,920 Speaker 6: it's well, it's safety is the first thing. But I 1241 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 6: love the idea. 1242 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 22: I'd barely get in a car with you, Mark, with 1243 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 22: the way you drive, So I don't know if I'm. 1244 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 8: Going to go away more. 1245 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 3: I like, the only thing I worry about is not 1246 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 3: the cars, it's actually our roads, you know, one thing 1247 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 3: to have them on the freeway in the US. Good 1248 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 3: to see you both Mark Sainsbury and Clear Delor on 1249 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 3: the Huddle tonight. It is eight to six News Talks MB. 1250 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupless Alan Drive Full Show podcast on 1251 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 1: My Art Radio powered by News Talks EBB. 1252 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 3: News Talks v B. It is five minutes away from 1253 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 3: six now. Just some updates for you on the economy 1254 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 3: as card spending. Retail card spending was down slightly in 1255 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 3: December because we had everything went but gangbusters during Black Friday, 1256 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 3: which actually has become Black Month or Black Friday Month 1257 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 3: or whatever they call it. So spending was up quite 1258 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 3: It was strong in November, but then it's fallen slightly 1259 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 3: for December, and it was actually quite broad based, meaning 1260 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 3: lots of different steptors felt that. So the question is 1261 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,440 Speaker 3: does that mean that we are going to see with 1262 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 3: card spending restrained over the coming months over summer. That's 1263 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 3: kind of the worry from retailer end z Asb's put 1264 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 3: out a note on this and they say, nah, actually 1265 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 3: calm down come the farm. This is electronic card transactions. 1266 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 3: Calm down. Even so, even with this dip for December, 1267 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 3: economic labor market recovery underway. We anticipate, they say, a 1268 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 3: gradual recovery of consumers spending over twenty twenty six. So 1269 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 3: it might be a little bit bumpy here and there, 1270 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 3: but it is all tracking in the right direction. That's 1271 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 3: from ASB nine. Two ninety two is the number to 1272 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 3: text and always love your feedback.

Apparently 1275 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,760 Speaker 3: they're doing quite well hydro and also gas because and 1276 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 3: I've got a couple of friends who are getting rid 1277 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 3: of gas in their homes at the moment. One of 1278 01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 3: them is hitting a pool which sounds very expensive and 1279 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 3: getting rid of basically switching. So a lot of that 1280 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 3: stuff's going on. And does that what does that do 1281 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 3: to the supply of people come off? And the more 1282 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 3: does that make it cheaper?

First interesting thing is water 1298 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 3: hydro storage up, meaning we've got good supply to power 1299 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 3: the grid. Second interesting thing prices, not necessarily the retail price, 1300 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 3: but Ford prices falling by as much as fifty percent 1301 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 3: in the past two weeks.

Operating reports are always sexy. 1305 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 3: Ryan, you have to say that, you have to say that, Hey, 1306 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,280 Speaker 3: tell us what's going so? Hydro is this? Are we 1307 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 3: in a better position than we would normally be? 1308 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 9: Yes? 1309 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 25: The short answer is yes, We've had fairly consistent rain 1310 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 25: events in the key catchments since really the end of 1311 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 25: spring last year, and we started spilling like Tekapo in 1312 01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 25: November because it was it was at its maximum, and 1313 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,560 Speaker 25: others around the system are also in a position now 1314 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 25: where they're. 1315 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 12: Having to spill their lakes as well. So it's a 1316 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 12: regularity of rain. 1317 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 25: Notwithstanding the rain event that's just been through the Upper 1318 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 25: North Island over the last twenty four hours or so, 1319 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,880 Speaker 25: it's the consistency of the rain events that have led 1320 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:17,680 Speaker 25: to the position we're in. 1321 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,680 Speaker 3: Does that mean that we're going to be all good 1322 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 3: for winter? 1323 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 25: Look, basically, it's between six and eight weeks between a 1324 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,680 Speaker 25: wet and a dry sequence in New Zealand, so we 1325 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 25: don't store an enormous amount of water. Less than five 1326 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 25: percent of our total annual demand is stored in water, 1327 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 25: and so it really depends on how it rains over 1328 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 25: the next three to four months. But the key thing 1329 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 25: is the reserve fuel positions are very healthy. Gas storage 1330 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,919 Speaker 25: is near the top of its capacity and the colestock 1331 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 25: Violot Huntley is sitting well over a million tons now. 1332 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 25: So not only do we have our primary fuel in 1333 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 25: a good position, but we have our reserve fuels and 1334 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,639 Speaker 25: very good positions as. 1335 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 3: Well, and the sorted for ten years. 1336 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 16: Right. 1337 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 25: Yes, the contracts that we signed with the other gent 1338 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 25: tailors means that the investment in the rank and units 1339 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,120 Speaker 25: to extend their life out to twenty thirty five is 1340 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 25: now well underway. 1341 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 3: Good now as you're talking, lots of people are texting Malcolm, 1342 01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,759 Speaker 3: Michael says Ryan. Every January, the lakes are always spilled 1343 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 3: in order to drive the prices high for winter. True, no, 1344 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 3: So what's going. 1345 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 12: On the volume of water. 1346 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 25: We have both minimum and maximum operating ranges for the lakes. 1347 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 25: The maximums are driven by the Hyder dams, and most 1348 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 25: engineers will tell you that water spilling over the top 1349 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 25: of dams in an uncontrolled way is quite dangerous for 1350 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 25: the stability of the dam, and so the spill ways 1351 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 25: are put in place so that when you meet reach 1352 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 25: the maximum, that you have to start spilling the water. 1353 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 25: And so we didn't spill last summer, and I don't 1354 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 25: think we spilt the summer before, but this year we are. 1355 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 3: So we've got water in the lakes, we've got huntly sorted. 1356 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 3: What's going to happen to prices? Spot prices this winter? 1357 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 25: Well, the forward curve is indicating quite a retreat from 1358 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 25: where we've been in the last couple of winters. And 1359 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 25: the reality of the New Zealand pricing system is that 1360 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,680 Speaker 25: over a short short period six to twelve months, you know, 1361 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 25: hydrology and the amount of rain we get when we 1362 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 25: get it as a huge driver of those those spot prices. 1363 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 3: Did you pay any attention Do you pay any attention 1364 01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 3: to what's happening in New South Wales? You know the 1365 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 3: big well, their biggest power plant, Cold Find power plant 1366 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 3: over there, they're extending the life for two years. 1367 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,560 Speaker 25: We certainly do pay attention to those, and we have 1368 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 25: to remember in New Zealand that you know, we've just 1369 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,759 Speaker 25: extended the life of Huntley's coal generation by a decade. 1370 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 25: And the reality is that as a small nation where 1371 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 25: our weather is highly correlated, you know, we don't store 1372 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 25: enough water for the lakes to be able to last 1373 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,720 Speaker 25: long periods of time without ray and so we do 1374 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 25: have to have a reserve generation system and Huntley's the 1375 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 25: majority of that. 1376 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 12: It's about seventy five to eighty percent of that. 1377 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 3: What's the situation with gas? I mean, and everyone says 1378 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 3: we're running out and that we might lose a field 1379 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 3: of two in the coming year. What's the situation and 1380 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 3: what do people need to do to prepare for it? 1381 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 12: What are you saying, Well, gas plays two roles in electricity. 1382 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 25: One is baseload or consistent generation, and the second is 1383 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 25: backup generation for cold winter nights and dry. 1384 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 12: Periods and the like. 1385 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,559 Speaker 25: And with the amount of renewables that all the companies 1386 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,720 Speaker 25: in New Zealand, the building base load gas generation is 1387 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,719 Speaker 25: in decline and will ultimately reach an expiring point sometime 1388 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,160 Speaker 25: between now in twenty thirty or twenty thirty two. But 1389 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,720 Speaker 25: the need for gas as a backup generation fuel for 1390 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 25: cold winter nights, low wind periods and low rain periods remains. 1391 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 25: I think you know, the gas situation remains challenging. There's 1392 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 25: no two ways about that. It doesn't matter whether you're 1393 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 25: generating electricity, you're an industrial or a home user. The 1394 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 25: reality is that the availability of gas is becoming less 1395 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 25: and that's having an impact on the price of it. 1396 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 3: Malcolm, appreciate your time. Always good to chat. Malcolm John's 1397 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 3: Genesis Energy chief executive with us tonight twelve minutes after 1398 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:20,599 Speaker 3: six coming up, we are talking show biz, but next 1399 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,880 Speaker 3: we will bring online Rural Report. We're going to Jamie McKay. 1400 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupless Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1401 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio empowered by News Talks EBBI. 1402 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 3: News talksb is quarter past six. We were talking earlier 1403 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,400 Speaker 3: about driverless cars over in America. The Waimo robotaxi thing 1404 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,240 Speaker 3: is taking owall. I mean it's been around for a 1405 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 3: while now. It's particularly San Francisco. I was listening to 1406 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,880 Speaker 3: a podcast yesterday, a Wall Street Journal podcast about this, 1407 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 3: and there was a woman on there who lives in 1408 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 3: an area and where they tested a lot of the 1409 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 3: Waymo self drive taxes, and she was saying, you know, 1410 01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,680 Speaker 3: you go home at night, should be getting the car 1411 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,439 Speaker 3: back into the garage under her apartment, and beyond the 1412 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 3: road with four self drive taxis no one in them, 1413 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 3: just empty cars driving along the road. And just how 1414 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,639 Speaker 3: weird that is. She said, One night she came across 1415 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 3: one that was sitting parked up, windows down with creep 1416 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 3: the I don't know if you know the TLC song, 1417 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 3: creep blearing out the windows, no one in the car, 1418 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:31,439 Speaker 3: the totally bizarre situation. However, these things seriously reduced crashes, 1419 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 3: so eighty five percent less likely to be involved in 1420 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,880 Speaker 3: an injury causing crash than human drivers. This is the 1421 01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,600 Speaker 3: studies that they've done in the US. Human era is 1422 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 3: a factor in ninety four percent of serious crashes in 1423 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,400 Speaker 3: New Zealand. And you know the road tells about three 1424 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 3: hundred and forty odd people a year, so if you 1425 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:54,640 Speaker 3: had more self drive cars, you would have fewer accidents there. 1426 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:54,920 Speaker 18: It is. 1427 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,920 Speaker 3: So just imagine an empty car, lights on, sitting there, 1428 01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 3: windows down, no one in it. Very odd, very odd, 1429 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 3: but they'll save you. 1430 01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:04,679 Speaker 6: Like these things. 1431 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,560 Speaker 3: So where are they. It's twenty twenty six, Get some 1432 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 3: robotaxis on the roads. 1433 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 2: Please the rural report on hither due allan. 1434 01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,719 Speaker 3: Drive might not work in the country, mind you. Jamie 1435 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 3: McKay's with us now, Hey, Jamie, gooday, Ryan, how's the 1436 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 3: storm will start there? Affecting rural New Zealand because it's 1437 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 3: been very widespread. 1438 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 24: Well, it's affecting all of well, it's going to say 1439 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 24: certainly northern and eastern New Zealand. It's a shakra And 1440 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 24: those scenes that are Mount Monganui, and I know you've 1441 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 24: been talking about them, are truly truly horrific. Thoughts goes 1442 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 24: out to the to the families and people are tied 1443 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 24: up in that one. It is just goddamn awful. Look 1444 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,080 Speaker 24: at the storm update from a rural point of view, 1445 01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 24: it's caused heaps the damage ob these sleep rural and urban. 1446 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 24: In terms of livestock. For instance, this forecast rain event 1447 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 24: as big as it was as well forecasts, so not 1448 01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 24: much by why they have livestock loss. They've all been 1449 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,280 Speaker 24: able to move livestock to higher ground. The real issue 1450 01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 24: is obviously landslips. That's stating the obvious flooding selting on 1451 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,360 Speaker 24: low lowing, low lying should I say, an often very 1452 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:19,439 Speaker 24: good horticulture land. Then there's the infrastructure and roading damage 1453 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,240 Speaker 24: and the real challenge of getting like fresh produce out 1454 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 24: of the likes of the Gisban region, that is the 1455 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 24: vegetable and salad bowl of this country. State Highway too 1456 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,759 Speaker 24: from a Potoquy through to Gisbon is out for months 1457 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 24: rather than weeks, we're told, and at the stage State 1458 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 24: Highway thirty five going around the top round the East Cape. 1459 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:41,599 Speaker 6: Is also out. 1460 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,120 Speaker 24: So if you want to get produce out of Gisbon 1461 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 24: at the moment by road, you're going to have to 1462 01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 24: go through the middle of the North Island. And I 1463 01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,680 Speaker 24: know the keyw fruit industry is very worried about this 1464 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 24: because they truck a hell of a lot of keyw 1465 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,759 Speaker 24: fruit from the Gisbone orchards to the Bay of Plenty 1466 01:15:55,840 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 24: pack houses and obviously onto Port Taronga. Horrific damage. Horrific 1467 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:07,639 Speaker 24: rainfall numbers in Northland seven hundred mills on on. One 1468 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,439 Speaker 24: farmer told me since Sunday, that's like twice the annual 1469 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 24: rainfall of Alexandra. Twice the annual rainfall of Alexandra in 1470 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 24: three or four days. 1471 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 3: It's a lot of rain now long last, cheap farmers 1472 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 3: making money from their wool. 1473 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 24: Yeah, while it's all relative, yes, for many years or 1474 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 24: not for many years, certainly since COVID onward, it's cost 1475 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 24: farmers to share their sheep they put. By the time 1476 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 24: they pay the sharers and truck their wall off to 1477 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 24: market or to the auction are they end up losing 1478 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 24: money from their wall receipts. So prices have risen, and 1479 01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 24: we're talking mainly strong crossbead prices because they've been the 1480 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 24: issue rather than the fine wall ones. The risen thirty 1481 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 24: percent in the past year. Full lengthly selling at five 1482 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 24: dollars thirty clean exporters can't get enough of it the 1483 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 24: short so it looks like the market will continue up. 1484 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 24: The last time it was at this level was August 1485 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,640 Speaker 24: twenty sixteen, so that's ten years ago, before sliding to 1486 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 24: a real low five years ago in COVID in January 1487 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 24: twenty twenty one of one sixty two cents clean. So 1488 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 24: effectively we've seen a threefold increase in prices in the 1489 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,040 Speaker 24: last five years. That's good, Ryan, But if you go 1490 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 24: back a bit further in time to the nineteen eighties, 1491 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,519 Speaker 24: when I was a very young farmer, we were getting 1492 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,800 Speaker 24: an excess of six dollars per kilogram clean compared to 1493 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 24: five dollars a kilogram clean. Now, that was forty years ago, 1494 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 24: so we've still got a wee bit of catching up 1495 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,720 Speaker 24: to do. Look, normally, when the prices get too high, 1496 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,639 Speaker 24: the Chinese pull the pin stop buying, but they can't 1497 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 24: now because there's too much demand from Europe and India, 1498 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,760 Speaker 24: and the Free trade Agreement or free trade agreement with 1499 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,559 Speaker 24: India is only going to help things. Sheet numbers are 1500 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 24: declining right around the world. In Australia and Britain, analysts 1501 01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 24: analysis shows that since twenty fifteen, our wall clip has 1502 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 24: fallen four percent a year. At that rate, our wall 1503 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 24: will of hard From twenty fifteen to twenty thirty, we 1504 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,080 Speaker 24: did have an oversupply. That's all out of the system now, 1505 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 24: so onwards and upwards for the strong wall price not 1506 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 24: before time. And the government did their bit back in 1507 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 24: in April of last year when they announced government buildings 1508 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 24: will prefer the use of wool, which is positive for 1509 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,719 Speaker 24: ongoing domestic for the ongoing domestic market, which further supports 1510 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 24: the market, which is good. So you know they're doing well. 1511 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 24: They're still making a hell of a lot more money 1512 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,880 Speaker 24: out of lamb and mutton than they are on a wall, 1513 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,120 Speaker 24: but at least it's cash flow positive now. 1514 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 3: Right, Brigant. I've got a marino jumper and there's holes 1515 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 3: in the front of it, and my parents in law, 1516 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 3: who are farmers, said, with wool, well, marino wall, did 1517 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 3: you get short wool and long wall depending on where 1518 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 3: it comes from on the sheep, which I had no 1519 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 3: idea about, and so some of it is more prone 1520 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 3: to boosting open getting holes in the others. 1521 01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 24: True, Yeah, well, I don't know, like a hard up 1522 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 24: broadcast a former farmer like me Roy and I can't 1523 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 24: afford Marino. I remember my mother when I was a 1524 01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 24: kid growing up on the farm, knitting me jerseys to 1525 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 24: wear to school out of strong crossbed wall. And I'll 1526 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 24: tell you what, you couldn't wear those next to your skin. 1527 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,360 Speaker 24: They were as itchy as hell. But yeah, they took 1528 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 24: a bit of wearing out. And those were the days. 1529 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 24: You tell the young people of today that and they 1530 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 24: won't believe you're ran. 1531 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,479 Speaker 3: Jamie, Good Talk.

You did some bad things, 1579 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 3: but I'm the worst of them. I mean, I've heard 1580 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:16,200 Speaker 3: worst lyrics than that. Swift's commonly cited cringiest lyric comes 1581 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 3: from her song Me, where she says, hey, kids, spelling 1582 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 3: is fun.

So what about the risks? 1596 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 3: Samon is with us now, Good evening, Good ending, Ryan. 1597 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,719 Speaker 3: We've talked a lot about the exciting sort of positive 1598 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 3: catalyst for markets over the last few months, but what 1599 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,639 Speaker 3: are the key risks investors should be focused on this year. 1600 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 26: Yes, there's been so many perceived risky headlines so far 1601 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 26: so far this year is kind of like drinking from 1602 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 26: a fire hose. So we find it helpful to remember 1603 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 26: what really drive stop markets and that's three things. So 1604 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 26: the direction of economic and corporating is growth, the level 1605 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,800 Speaker 26: of interest rates, and the valuational price of stock. So 1606 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 26: if we look at one key risking each of those 1607 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 26: buckets and ignore the rest of the noise. A key 1608 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,719 Speaker 26: driver of growth in the US has been the massive 1609 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 26: build out of AI infrastructure. So the rubber meets the 1610 01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 26: road this year on where the big tech companies can 1611 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 26: make a return on the hundreds of billions of dollars 1612 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 26: they spent on AI. And as is been a side Ryan, 1613 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,920 Speaker 26: remember we were speaking back in October November about how 1614 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 26: bubbly things that got in AI land. The good news 1615 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 26: there is there's been a healthy correction the riskier names 1616 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 26: so Orackland cool weave, which we use using tons of 1617 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 26: debt to fund that AI built out there, down forty 1618 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,360 Speaker 26: to fifty percent point there is. That's good news that 1619 01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 26: investors are becoming more discerning. The second one is on 1620 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,840 Speaker 26: the level of interest rates. Keep an eye on debt 1621 01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,519 Speaker 26: levels of particularly OECD countries like Japan and the US. 1622 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:45,679 Speaker 26: So take Japan for example, on the thirty year debt 1623 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,400 Speaker 26: that the government borrows. Only five to six years ago, 1624 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,679 Speaker 26: the government used to pay zero percent on that thirty 1625 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 26: year bonds. Government bonds were at zero percent. Today it 1626 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 26: pays almost four percent, and an interest rate has been 1627 01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 26: going up rapidly. So and there is keep an eye 1628 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 26: on those longer dated interest rates for the US and 1629 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 26: Japan for signs of stress. And the final thing is 1630 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,760 Speaker 26: markets have had a very strong run since April last year. 1631 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 26: Equity markets are up forty four percent eight months, which 1632 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 26: is astonishing, and the headline valuation has elevated at twenty 1633 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 26: two times. 1634 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,000 Speaker 14: Simplistic price to earnings ratio. 1635 01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 26: The good news there, though, is that's reflective of just 1636 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 26: some of those really big top ten tech companies being 1637 01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 26: fully valued, like Tesla trades on two hundred times p 1638 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 26: which is pretty ritzy. The good news is blue chip 1639 01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,599 Speaker 26: companies or quality companies that sit outside of that top 1640 01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 26: ten were left behind and twenty twenty five, in fact, 1641 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 26: some of those companies of the most out of favor 1642 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:45,440 Speaker 26: in thirty years, So that bod's really well for focused, 1643 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,600 Speaker 26: selective stop picking investors. 1644 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:52,679 Speaker 3: What about picking particular markets like you know, Japan and Germany. 1645 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk about their stimulus that, you know, 1646 01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 3: pumping the cash in, which often leads to a lifted market. 1647 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 3: Is that something that we should pay close attention to 1648 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 3: or have we maybe missed the both on that already? 1649 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 3: What's the story there? 1650 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 26: I think that's important. That's one of the key lessons. 1651 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,640 Speaker 26: You and I spoke late late last year about what 1652 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 26: were the key lessons of twenty twenty five. Well, the 1653 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 26: key lesson is it's possible to make money outside of 1654 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 26: the US, and for the third time in fifteen years, 1655 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 26: non US markets outperform in the US, Japan, as you mentioned, China, Brazil, 1656 01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 26: emerging markets. 1657 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,040 Speaker 14: There's some good places to make money. 1658 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 26: Japan has had a specific stock market sort of stimulus 1659 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 26: package going on. Apart from the fact they're trying to 1660 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,920 Speaker 26: reflate their economy, they've also told all of the companies 1661 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,000 Speaker 26: that are listed on their stock market that they must 1662 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:48,640 Speaker 26: do shareholder for any things. They must use some of 1663 01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 26: the lazy cash on their balance sheet, they must pay 1664 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 26: higher dividends, they must drive up return. So that's been really, 1665 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,080 Speaker 26: really positive, and I think there's still more to run there, 1666 01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 26: notwithstanding by the way, that overriding risk of the price 1667 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 26: of money there. I mean, just keep an eye on 1668 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,880 Speaker 26: those thirty year bonds. They moved very aggressively two days ago, 1669 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 26: So we just want to make sure that the Bank 1670 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,679 Speaker 26: of Japan doesn't lose control of its bond market. 1671 01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 3: Sam, if we were to have a Trump Liberation Day 1672 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 3: outburst again tomorrow, this is just a hypothetical, but throw 1673 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 3: it at you. Do you think the markets would react, 1674 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,200 Speaker 3: wouldn't react as dramatically as they did last year. Like 1675 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 3: we kind of learned the lesson with him a little 1676 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 3: bit that he that he you know, he goes crazy, 1677 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:29,680 Speaker 3: he does the art of the deal thing, and then 1678 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 3: he pulls back and does a deal. 1679 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:32,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1680 01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 26: I think it's a spot like one of those diminishing 1681 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 26: marginal utility of the shock factor, right or the out 1682 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 26: of the deal it is. I mean when I talk 1683 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 26: about drinking from a fire hose to start the year, 1684 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 26: that was most of those headlines were related to Trump 1685 01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,400 Speaker 26: policies or tweets should I say, and whether it be 1686 01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 26: captain credit card rates in the US, you know, the 1687 01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 26: Iran headlines of being assueded headlines, the Greenland head lines, 1688 01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 26: and I think he piled on so much and those 1689 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 26: policies came so thick and fast it eventually the market 1690 01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,040 Speaker 26: did blink a couple of days ago. But then, of 1691 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 26: course he's already subsequently walked away from the Greenland threats 1692 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 26: to an extent. 1693 01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,320 Speaker 14: The market had a big bounce overnight. 1694 01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 26: So I think you're did right, Ryan, is a diminishing 1695 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 26: marginal utility of the shop factor. 1696 01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 3: What about the Iran That's the next one on the 1697 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 3: cab off the rank if we're to believe what's coming 1698 01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 3: out of the White House. We spoke to Marco Rubio's 1699 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 3: former pres SECT today and he was saying, look, this 1700 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 3: is the one you want to watch. This is coming next. 1701 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 3: There's a troop build up or military build up in 1702 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 3: the Middle East from the United States. Is that as 1703 01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:43,639 Speaker 3: big a deal? Would it be as big a deal 1704 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 3: to markets as say, the Greenland threats have been. 1705 01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 26: I think these geopolitical you know, flare ups are always 1706 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 26: concerning most, not least, because there's a real human element. 1707 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 26: Then we shouldn't forget about that. But what history does 1708 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 26: tell us, You know, you can go back super long term, 1709 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,080 Speaker 26: over one hundred and five years. You know, we've had 1710 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:09,680 Speaker 26: a couple of world wars, you know, depression, numerous recessions, 1711 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 26: and still markets are up, you know, hundreds of fold, 1712 01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:16,400 Speaker 26: you know. But then it even shorter term and you 1713 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 26: go back to Ukraine and even if you'd had tomorrow's 1714 01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 26: newspaper yesterday, you wouldn't have made any money. People were 1715 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:26,679 Speaker 26: convinced that, you know, gas prices would saw, energy prices 1716 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:31,000 Speaker 26: would saw, grain prices would saw because you know, Ukraine's 1717 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 26: the weak bowl of Europe. 1718 01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 14: The factors. 1719 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,680 Speaker 26: The day before Putin invaded was the highest price we 1720 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 26: saw for some of those gas prices, the oil price, 1721 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:42,679 Speaker 26: and some of those food prices. 1722 01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:44,840 Speaker 14: So it's really hard to trade. 1723 01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 26: The point is it's really hard to trade around these 1724 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:51,599 Speaker 26: geopolitical events and politics as well, the US midterm elections 1725 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 26: coming up. 1726 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:52,599 Speaker 14: That's the first point. 1727 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 26: And the second point is, generally speaking, and I don't 1728 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:58,599 Speaker 26: say this lightly, the market fades these things. They move 1729 01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:03,800 Speaker 26: on from these things fairly quickly. So I would put 1730 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 26: that in the camp of not ultra important for those 1731 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 26: three things, the price of money or interest rates, the 1732 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:15,320 Speaker 26: price of stocks, and the direction of you know, economic growth. 1733 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:18,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, Thanks for letting me throw anything I can 1734 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,599 Speaker 3: and want to hit you, Sam. I've always appreciated the problem. 1735 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 3: You're insight, Sam. Dicky Fisher funds with us. Tonight it 1736 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:26,200 Speaker 3: is eighteen to seven. We're lying to the UK next. 1737 01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,920 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1738 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and Ma's. 1739 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 2: Insurance and Investments. Your futures in good hands. 1740 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 3: News TALKSBB called to seven News Talks MB. You could 1741 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 3: hear the unclinching across Europe as Trump back down on Greenland. 1742 01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 3: Let's go to Indebrady, a UK correspondent. Did you hear 1743 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 3: it too? 1744 01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 9: Yes? 1745 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 24: Right? 1746 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:53,680 Speaker 23: Look, relief, one word, relief everyone in Europe. This has 1747 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,920 Speaker 23: just exercised everyone's brains since the turn of the year. 1748 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,519 Speaker 23: I guess relief gladly. So that everything seems to be 1749 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,200 Speaker 23: calming down. A deal is imminent, and I think the 1750 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,719 Speaker 23: person we can thank is Mark Rutta, the NATO Secretary 1751 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:12,240 Speaker 23: General former Prime Minister of the Netherlands. He seems to 1752 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,640 Speaker 23: have Trump's here and he spent some time privately with 1753 01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:18,840 Speaker 23: him yesterday and Davos, and after that everything changed. But 1754 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,679 Speaker 23: Trump turned up. It was fire and fury. One hour 1755 01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 23: of his speech. He got quite carried away. On multiple occasions. 1756 01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 23: He mistakenly called Greenland Iceland. We don't know, well, we 1757 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 23: don't know if it was deliberate, as he's trying to 1758 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,880 Speaker 23: frighten people in Iceland as well, but he kept calling 1759 01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:40,599 Speaker 23: Greenland Iceland and vice versa. It was a very strange speech. 1760 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,439 Speaker 23: And then everything just calmed down a couple of hours 1761 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,120 Speaker 23: later after he met Rutta. So something has changed. I 1762 01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,600 Speaker 23: think a deal is imminent, but America will not be 1763 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,240 Speaker 23: invading Greenland. It won't be using military force. 1764 01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 3: In saying all of that. The Allies won't forget this, 1765 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,720 Speaker 3: will they. I mean, there's been a few things not 1766 01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:00,400 Speaker 3: to forget so bad, but this one in particular, Well, I. 1767 01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:04,600 Speaker 23: Think everyone in Europe now has come to the conclusion belatedly. 1768 01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:07,760 Speaker 23: I believe that Trump is not a friend. And we 1769 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,240 Speaker 23: saw his behavior here in the United Kingdom. He came 1770 01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 23: here on a second state visit, which was unprecedented in September, 1771 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,920 Speaker 23: and within four days of him going home, he was 1772 01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,679 Speaker 23: having a goal and being really critical about the mayor 1773 01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 23: of London, Sadik Khan, who has won three elections back 1774 01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:27,200 Speaker 23: to back to back, by the way, you know, democratic 1775 01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,640 Speaker 23: elections to be mayor of London and is doing a 1776 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 23: good job and is a decent, hard working man. And 1777 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:34,720 Speaker 23: Trump had ripped into him just a few days after 1778 01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:38,680 Speaker 23: being in London. So we know what he is and 1779 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 23: it's all about him. It's all about the. 1780 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:41,360 Speaker 16: Deal, you know. 1781 01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 23: Make no mistake. Greenland's rare earth minerals will be heading 1782 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 23: to the United States. But the question I would ask, 1783 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:51,080 Speaker 23: having had Greenlandic people on my TV show last week, 1784 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,400 Speaker 23: why haven't they been taken out of the earth so far? 1785 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,400 Speaker 23: People have known about them for a century. There's a 1786 01:32:57,479 --> 01:32:58,520 Speaker 23: very good reason. 1787 01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,839 Speaker 3: Now Stama is off to China. I saw the protest 1788 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 3: about the mega embassy in London that people didn't want 1789 01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,559 Speaker 3: to be built. He's greenlet the nails off to China. 1790 01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,280 Speaker 23: Yes, trade deals, this is what this is all about. 1791 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,800 Speaker 23: He's taking quite a few British CEOs with him on 1792 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,840 Speaker 23: this mission to Beijing. No UK Prime minister has been 1793 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,479 Speaker 23: to China since twenty eighteen, back in the days of 1794 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 23: Teresa May. 1795 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:22,599 Speaker 3: So this is a big deal. 1796 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,280 Speaker 23: And look, I think Starmer couldn't have gone to China 1797 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,560 Speaker 23: without signing off on their new embassy in London. It 1798 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 23: is a mega embassy by the way, it is going 1799 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,440 Speaker 23: to be when it's built, the biggest Chinese embassy anywhere 1800 01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,800 Speaker 23: in the world. Now people have had concerns. Certainly the 1801 01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 23: Hong Kong expat community are very concerned about surveillance, an 1802 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 23: arrest and torture. That's what they allege. We know there 1803 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 23: are bunker basement rooms put in on the architectural plans. 1804 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,559 Speaker 23: The intelligence services have serious concerns that those bunker rooms 1805 01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 23: will be used to tap into the financial cables that 1806 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 23: go through the city of London, all the banking and 1807 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:04,840 Speaker 23: wire transactions. So there have been legitimate concerns raised about 1808 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:06,960 Speaker 23: why China needs and embassy of this size. 1809 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:07,880 Speaker 3: But I think the. 1810 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 23: Chinese were getting angrier and angrier. They bought that land 1811 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 23: in twenty eighteen and it's taken eight years for the 1812 01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:15,719 Speaker 23: UK to grant planning permission. 1813 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 3: Now it's got a Harry. He's lift caught after two 1814 01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:22,680 Speaker 3: hours giving evidence. This is the Daily Mail case in tears. 1815 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 23: Yes, an emotional finish to Harry's evidence. So two hours 1816 01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,439 Speaker 23: understand and he gave as good as he got and 1817 01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 23: he made the point. He landed quite a few blows yesterday. 1818 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 23: So this is his final piece of legislation or core 1819 01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 23: case against the newspapers. It's against the Daily Mail and 1820 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 23: the Mail on Sunday who deny any wrongdoing. And Harry 1821 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:49,559 Speaker 23: very forcefully said in his evidence yesterday through tears at 1822 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:53,120 Speaker 23: the end, that these newspapers have made my wife's life 1823 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:56,639 Speaker 23: a misery. That was the key message. And he spoke 1824 01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 23: also about other relationships that broke down because the trust 1825 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,720 Speaker 23: was gone, or anything that appeared in the newspapers. He 1826 01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 23: would question the talsest people to him and he believes 1827 01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:10,280 Speaker 23: that it wasn't people in his circle leaking information that 1828 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:14,799 Speaker 23: it was newspapers gathering things nefariously. So the case continues 1829 01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,759 Speaker 23: and Liz Hurley, the actress and model, will give evidence 1830 01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 23: later today nine weeks. 1831 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:22,640 Speaker 3: This is scheduled on Appreciate your time, Endo Brady, our 1832 01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 3: UK correspondent. It is ten to seven News Talk ZIBB. 1833 01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:28,360 Speaker 2: It's the Heather too. 1834 01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:32,479 Speaker 1: Per Se Allan Drive full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1835 01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 1: by News Talk ZIBB. 1836 01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:37,479 Speaker 3: News Talk ZIBB is eight minutes away from seven. You'll 1837 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,519 Speaker 3: be pleased to hear two things. One this weekend might 1838 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,760 Speaker 3: be a little bit cooler weatherwise, but it will be 1839 01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:44,000 Speaker 3: much drier, thank you. 1840 01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:44,680 Speaker 6: We need that. 1841 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 3: But also in Tieder aftery Gisbin, the civil Defense there 1842 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:50,439 Speaker 3: have said that because they had a hope, as you know, 1843 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,320 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of road closures, they have been able 1844 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 3: to and this is hard work of road crews open 1845 01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,759 Speaker 3: eleven out of the thirty four roads that were closed 1846 01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,559 Speaker 3: as a result of as a result of the weather. 1847 01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,760 Speaker 3: So the thirty four local roads closed, eleven have now reopened, 1848 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 3: twenty one still closed. They're working on those. The floodwaters 1849 01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:11,439 Speaker 3: are receding, which means that in some cases they actually 1850 01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:12,960 Speaker 3: couldn't start the work. So although I'll be able to 1851 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,639 Speaker 3: start the work and actually get on with the business 1852 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,439 Speaker 3: of opening the roads, which would be great for the region. 1853 01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:21,439 Speaker 3: You're on Newstalks MB. I'm actually currently sporting a rental car. 1854 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:23,920 Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember, but late at the 1855 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,200 Speaker 3: end of last year I told you about how someone 1856 01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 3: don't know who, so I have my suspicions, but someone 1857 01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 3: backed into my car, and so I've finally got around 1858 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,200 Speaker 3: to getting it fixed. And this is a problem of 1859 01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:39,360 Speaker 3: my own making, I admit. But man, rental car companies 1860 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:42,000 Speaker 3: can be quite bureaucratic, can't they. I went to pick 1861 01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:44,880 Speaker 3: up the rental car, and because the car's in the garage, 1862 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 3: and then the insurance company because your rental car. We 1863 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 3: went to pick up the rental car and went through 1864 01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:54,639 Speaker 3: all the paperwork, waited in line. Let's start there anyway, 1865 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:56,560 Speaker 3: waiting in line, doing the thing, get to it, and 1866 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,320 Speaker 3: then go to we need to put a security hold 1867 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,639 Speaker 3: on your car. Here's my card. Can't do that because 1868 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,640 Speaker 3: you need the card to have your name on it. Now, 1869 01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,400 Speaker 3: years ago I lost my f postcard, so they sent 1870 01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,639 Speaker 3: me one in the mail. And it just says card holder, 1871 01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:14,040 Speaker 3: you cannot hire a rental car. And you will probably 1872 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 3: know this because you're smarter than I am. But you 1873 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,640 Speaker 3: cannot hire a rental car unless the card. I have 1874 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:20,960 Speaker 3: my license and everything, but the card has to have 1875 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:24,240 Speaker 3: your name on it. So anyway, this was yesterday, So 1876 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,680 Speaker 3: a day later, go back and have to do the 1877 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:32,040 Speaker 3: whole thing again, get the partner involved, get my name 1878 01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 3: at it as it. Anyway, Red Moole got a car 1879 01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:37,479 Speaker 3: on the road. Things are good, but boy did it 1880 01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 3: take a while. So there's a trick for young players. 1881 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 3: Make sure you've got a card with your name on it, 1882 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:47,320 Speaker 3: otherwise you'll spend half your life at easy rentals. And 1883 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 3: what are we going out to tonight? 1884 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,360 Speaker 21: Prepared to wait in line? I love rock and Roll 1885 01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:53,400 Speaker 21: by Jon Jet and the Black Arts to play us 1886 01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,479 Speaker 21: out tonight. So Jone Jet and the Black Arts are 1887 01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:58,160 Speaker 21: performing at the Summer Concert Series, which gets underway on 1888 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,920 Speaker 21: Saturday at Riverside Park in Topour. But Jones Jet and 1889 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:03,800 Speaker 21: the Black Hearts have already got to Topor a couple 1890 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,519 Speaker 21: of days early. And how do we know that, Well, 1891 01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,240 Speaker 21: because they popped into the local record store. My music 1892 01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 21: grabbed one of one of her albums and signed a 1893 01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:14,160 Speaker 21: few copies and stuff, said hi to the team there 1894 01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:15,680 Speaker 21: and then all that. So that's pretty cool. So if 1895 01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 21: you popped out of my music, they may still have 1896 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:18,960 Speaker 21: a signed copy of a Jones Jet and the Black 1897 01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,439 Speaker 21: Hearts album to sell you. And there are still tickets 1898 01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:24,800 Speaker 21: available for that show as well. And Riverside Park.
