The agenda, It's Wednesday, 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: the twenty third of April. First, I'll take you to Italy, 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: where the Vatican has confirmed the funeral of Pope Frances 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: will take place on Saturday. The Pope's body will be 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: moved to morrow to Saint Peter's Basilica for public mourning. 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: The rituals and the procedures that follow the death of 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: a pope have been laid down over centuries, but Pope 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 3: Francis is breaking with tradition, as he did so often 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: in life, choosing not to be buried here in the Vatican, 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: but in a favorite church in central Rome and in 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: a simple tomb that is inscribed only with his name. 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: World leaders including Donald Trump, Emanuel Macron, and Vlodimir Zelinski 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 2: will attend the funeral, and Prince William will be there 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: on behalf of King Charles. Now to the US, in 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: the International Monetary Fund has slashed its forecast for global 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: growth this year. The US has been given the biggest downgrade. 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: He's the IMS chief economist. 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: The tariffs represent a supply shark that reduces productivity and 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 4: output permanently and increases price pressures temporarily. This adds to 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 4: an already weakening outlook and leads US to revise growth 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 4: down by zero point nine percentage point to one point 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 4: eight percent with a zero point four percentage point downgrade 37 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 4: from the tariffs only. 38 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: And finally, films made with the help of artificial intelligence 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: will be able to win top awards at the Oscars. 40 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have issued 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: new rules saying the use of AI would neither help 42 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination. 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 5: They say the more a person contributed to a film's creation, 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 5: the more likely it. 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: Is to when The Academy won't require films to disclose 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: their use of AI, but says judges will consider how 47 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: much human ingenuity was in voh and that's the agenda. 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: one roof, make your Property search simple news talks that be. 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: As you heard in the news. Early voting starts today 51 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: in the Ossie election. Apparently about forty percent of Ozzi's 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: will vote early before May third, including Ozzie's registered to 53 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: vote here in New Zealand. So if you know any OSSI's, 54 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: remind them that they can vote here from today as well. 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: Ralian elections always get me thinking about the idea of 56 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: compulsory voting. Voting in Australia as compulsory at the federal 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: and state levels and some local levels. It depends what 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: state you're in. Queenslane seems to love it so in 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, ninety six point eight of eligible voters 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: were enrolled to vote, eighty nine point eight two percent 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: did Now, considering that we have voluntary voting here in 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand, I don't think we did too bad. In 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: our twenty twenty three general election. Our turnout was around 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: seventy eight point two percent. But you wouldn't want to 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: drop much further than that, would you. I've never brought 66 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: into the idea of compulsory voting at the general election, 67 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: but when you look at the feeble downward trend of 68 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: people turning up to vote at local body elections, I 69 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: do wonder whether there's some merit in it. In nineteen 70 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: eighty nine, the voter turnout in local body elections was 71 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: fifty six percent, and it has solely decreased. Can you 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: believe it to forty two percent and twenty twenty two 73 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: It is woeful and yet so much which affects our 74 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: day to day lives is decided at the local council level. 75 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: But wo making it compulsory work it would cost more. 76 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: For sure, getting people to understand the change would be 77 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: a challenge, and I'm sure many elected members wouldn't be 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: keen they know who votes and how to appeal to 79 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: their court interests older rate payers' interests would be really challenged, 80 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: I would say, but maybe there is no other way 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: to bring the numbers up. I'd quite like to see 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: a trial, maybe Wellington, Auckland, christ Church and see what 83 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: the results is. It could be quite a scramble and 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't that be fun? Can you hear your thoughts? You 85 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: can text on ninety two ninety two. It is ten 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: past five.

Write a new Member's 90 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: Bill by New Zealand First will aim to define men 91 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: and women. The bill wants to Code of five sex 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: based language, defining a woman is an adult human biological 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: female and a man as an adult human biological male. 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: It comes as Britain's highest court ruled that only a 95 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: biological and not trans women meet a definition of a 96 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: woman under equity laws. Save Women's Sport Australasia. New Zealand 97 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: spokeswoman wrote, Edge joins me now, good morning, Row, thanks 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 2: for your time. 99 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 6: Well, good morning. 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: Are you happy with this bill? Is there anything you'd change? 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: No? 102 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 6: I think it's much needed. You know, this Zellan First 103 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 6: Members will aims to ensure legal clarity on the definition 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 6: of a man and a woman, But in reality, its 105 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 6: purpose is to protect the sex based rights of women. 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 6: Now globally, it's been recognized and we saw this in 107 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 6: the UK last week that gender identity should not override 108 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 6: sex based provisions and protections. And so what this bill 109 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 6: does is it reinforces the urgent need for the likes 110 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 6: of support New Zealand to prioritize and protect fenness and 111 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 6: safety of biological females because we play sports with our bodies, 112 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 6: not our identities. 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so we make this definition, but we don't actually 114 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: know how this bill would apply to other legislation yet, 115 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: do we. 116 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 117 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 6: I think what it's about is ensuring that there is 118 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 6: that when women are referred to and men are referred 119 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 6: to in legislation and policy, that it is the biological 120 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 6: reality that is referred to. So, you know, we see 121 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 6: with our Ministry for Women at the moment, the definition 122 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 6: of woman as anyone who identifies as one. Well, it's 123 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 6: circular reasoning and what is a woman? Even Chris Hipkins 124 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 6: couldn't answer that, and why he might not deem this 125 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 6: as being a priority. Males competing and female thought was 126 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 6: actually the most of post social issue leading into the 127 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 6: last election, according to Labour's own posters. So would suggest 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 6: that given when he was asked as High Prime Minister 129 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 6: like what is a woman and he couldn't answer it, 130 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 6: it's a great example of why this legislation is so 131 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 6: desperately needed. 132 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: What does this mean for trans people? I mean you 133 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: can't just ignore them. 134 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 6: No, this isn't about being anti anyone. It's about ensuring 135 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 6: the rights of women and girls are protected in law. 136 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 6: And these rights were thoughtful by woman over many generations 137 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 6: and some very valid reasons. We want everybody to be 138 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 6: included for in in sport because of the mental and 139 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: physical health benefits it brings, but it needs to be 140 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 6: in the category of their biological sex because otherwise it 141 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 6: raises feness and safety issues. 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: But couldn't we have that discussion without having to go 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: through this sort of process of through this definition into legislation. 144 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 6: Or we have been trying to have this discussion for 145 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 6: over five years now and we've got absolutely nowhere. And 146 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: what we've seen is gender ideology completely capture our bureaucrats, 147 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 6: our policy and everything, and so women have had no 148 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 6: rights to speaking up. Now we've tried to, we've been 149 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: labeled bigots and TERFs and every other thing under the sun, 150 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 6: including Nazis. We haven't had this conversation. So you know, 151 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 6: this legislation has all been all about getting back to 152 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 6: some common sense. 153 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: Right, what are some of the current issues with women 154 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: in sport at the moment. 155 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 6: So we have males participating in women's and girls' sport 156 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 6: from while we're aware, from intermediate level and above, and 157 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 6: what's happening is women are either self excluding, which is 158 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 6: appalling because we already have such a dramatic drop off 159 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 6: rate of female's participation in sports through their teenage years. 160 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 6: We're seeing it in club sports and community sorts across 161 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 6: the board. And you know, if this was really just 162 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 6: about allowing everyone to participate, there are mixed sex teams 163 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 6: in nearly every sport available in most communities, and so 164 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 6: anyone can participate in that. But what we're seeing is 165 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 6: male advantage in female sport, and when you include that, 166 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 6: it excludes women. 167 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: Mets and members. Bill Row, do you think you know 168 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: there's a chance that this will never be heard. 169 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 6: Well, I hope it will be, and I hope if 170 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 6: it's told from the ballot that National and Act will 171 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 6: support it, given by far the majority of their voters 172 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 6: according to our polling do but mind you Soda, Labor 173 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 6: and Green voters. So this is the irony. It's not 174 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 6: a left versus right issue, despite what the politicians say. 175 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 6: This is a right versus wrong issue. And by farther 176 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 6: majority of New Zealanders if every political persuasion know that 177 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 6: males competing in female sport is wrong, males and female 178 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 6: changing rooms is wrong, we just need to get back 179 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 6: to some common sense and make sure that we create 180 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 6: spaces where everyone feels welcome and comfortable. 181 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: Roh each thanks so much for your time this morning. 182 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: I understand. Look, it's something that we've got to discuss, 183 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: but you've got to do it fairly and respectively for everybody, 184 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: don't you. I came to hear your thoughts on that. 185 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: In ninety two. Ninety two Muzz text to say to me, 186 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: what happened with your number plates? Man Chesca. I don't 187 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: know if you heard at the end of the show 188 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: yesterday I mentioned that at three o'clock yesterday morning, I 189 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: someone I realized that someone had stolen the license plates, 190 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: both of them off my car. Well, t you know 191 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: what must It was sorted by ten am. It's pretty 192 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: simple when you lose your license plates called the ten five. 193 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: I was calling it the one oh five number yesterday, 194 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: which is not called ten five. Is much cooler called 195 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: ten five. Gave the police my report. Apparently it happens 196 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: quite often, and apparently a lot of the times people 197 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: know who have taken their license plates. I've got no 198 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: idea who took mine. Anyway, I had a new set 199 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: on the car, all registered, changed with the insurer, all 200 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 2: sorted with n ZTA by ten am, So that turned 201 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: out to be a relative kind of easy thing to 202 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: sort out, although Mike Cosking was not very assuring to 203 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: me about what they could have been useful. But the 204 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: police have assured me that as as you know now, 205 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 2: they have not been used in an ongoing investigation, although 206 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: I am intrigued to see where they may turn up 207 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: in the future. But thank you for asking, mus But yeah, no, 208 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: all sorted, pretty simple. It is eighteen past five year 209 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: with early edition The. 210 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: News you Need this Morning and the in Depth Analysis 211 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: Early edition where one roof make your property search simple. 212 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: News talks that'd be It's five twenty net profit will 213 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 2: be significantly lower than expected. For one of the first 214 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: locally listed companies impacted by the US tariff regime, Tourism 215 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: Holdings Limited, has sent a dramatic slowdown in bookings by 216 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 2: its US division. Its share price fill more than ten 217 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: percent after announcing it was downgrading its earnings outlook. Tourism 218 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: Holding's chief executive, Grant Webster, is with me now, thanks 219 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: for your time, Grant, good morning, good morning. How much 220 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: is the political issues happening, the volatility to blame for 221 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: people not buying and renting our these. 222 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 7: It's pretty hard to get into the psyche of all 223 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 7: the individuals, but certainly the tour operators that we work 224 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 7: with out of Germany certainly say their customers are saying 225 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 7: just not interested in going to the USA at the moment. 226 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: How big of a reduction have you seen in the US? 227 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 7: So look, in recent weeks our booking intakes for the 228 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 7: rental's division into the US are down forty to fifty percent. 229 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 7: So that's it's obviously pretty dramatic, not quite as dramatic 230 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 7: as COVID wind borders closed, but it's a big downgrade. 231 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: So has the slowdown reflected anywhere else. 232 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 7: No, In fact, from a consumer confidence perspective on vehicle sales, 233 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 7: it is. But in terms of tourism and people actually 234 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 7: traveling and wanting to rent our products, all other markets 235 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 7: are actually up and probably realistically experiencing some benefit from 236 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 7: that USA situation. So people still want to travel. We'll 237 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 7: go somewhere else. 238 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 6: Yeah. 239 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say that it's not that 240 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: people aren't traveling its as they're choosing to go somewhere else. 241 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, So Canada is probably the greatest beneficiary out 242 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 7: of that. You know, similar time frame, similar flight costs, 243 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 7: so forth, and so on. So luckily we've got the 244 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 7: business there in Canada that can get some benefit from it. 245 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: So, Grant, how has the company reacted to this? As 246 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: you mentioned, you know, you've been through this before. We've 247 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: had the GFC and COVID and things. 248 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 7: Yeah. So the key thing for us is because that 249 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 7: vehicle sales demand is down, we basically have to adjust 250 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 7: what we buy to replenish the fleet. So we've already 251 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 7: got that stock there. We're going to make sure that 252 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 7: we manage that well, manage our balanceet well, which isn't 253 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 7: a good position. So really it's about pulling back on investment. 254 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 7: And you know, we're one company, one very small company 255 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 7: in the USA terms, and we're pulling back our USA 256 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 7: flat eat investments significantly. So when you talk about possible 257 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 7: recessions in the US and you think about that as 258 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 7: one small example, it has to be being felt more 259 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 7: broadly across the economy there. 260 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: But grant, you're not going backwards a You're more just 261 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: making moves to sort of stay steady. 262 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 7: And yeah, around the rest of the world will continue 263 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 7: to grow, but in the USA, when you're down forty 264 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 7: to fifty percent at the moment in bookings, it doesn't 265 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: mean that's where we'll end up, because domestic is picking 266 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 7: up a bit as well. But you definitely have to 267 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 7: reduce your total fleet size and tighten it up. So, yes, 268 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 7: the neat investment in capital that we have in the 269 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 7: USA will go down in the next twelve months as 270 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 7: as a result of the situation. 271 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: How long until you're expecting things to pick up again? 272 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 7: All that is, that is crystal ball that it is. 273 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 5: So you just. 274 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: Worry about right, just worrying about today. 275 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,479 Speaker 7: No, to be to be fair, we are running scenarios 276 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 7: and I guess again a little bit like COVID but not. 277 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 7: It's a very very different situation. But we are running 278 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 7: scenarios for the medium and long term from a Canada 279 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 7: perspective where we're getting impacted by the tariffs because all 280 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 7: our vehicles are purchased in the US. We have processes 281 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 7: there where the industry is looking to apply for an 282 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 7: exemption to the tariffs, so forth and so on. So 283 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 7: we've really got a number of things to play out yet. 284 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: Great Webster, thank you so much for your time this morning. 285 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: Appreciate it. It's twenty four past five. 286 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: See early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 287 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: by News Dogs at Me. 288 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: It's five twenty six. There's been a clever marketing campaign 289 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: from two degrees This week. The talco has released the 290 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: results of a study it commissioned into the impact mobile 291 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: phones are having on our mental health, and it's not good. 292 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: While most talcos like to concentrate on keeping us connected, 293 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: two degrees has taken a slightly different approach with this one, 294 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: acknowledging the elephant in the room by talking honestly and 295 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: openly about the damaged phones can do. It's almost like 296 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: they can, which is quite refreshing. I probably sound a 297 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: little bit skeptical, but I'm less fussed about a smart 298 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: approach to promote a brand than the more important point 299 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: that is absolutely that it's absolutely crazy that we're letting 300 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: our phones negatively impact our lives. It simply doesn't need 301 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: to be this way. One of the things the survey 302 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: looked at was the role of that notifications play in 303 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: adults daily lives, and what they discovered was fifty percent 304 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: a kiwis received too many notifications, thirty seven percent fel overwhelmed, panicked, 305 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: or anxious, thirty percent struggle to concentrate due to the notifications. 306 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: Forty six of gen Z respondents say they receive farty notifications, 307 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: forty percent find it difficult to concentrate, And the biggest 308 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: culprits are social media. It's sixty five percent an email, 309 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: It's sixty percent told you it wasn't great news. But 310 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: as concerning as these figures are, the crazy thing about 311 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: it is that this is on us. We can control 312 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: our notifications, we can turn them off or silence them. 313 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: We can take control of apps by doing things like 314 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: deleting and restoring them throughout the weeks, and they're not 315 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: constantly available, and if you don't know how to do it, 316 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: you do what I do when you find a younger 317 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: person who's smarter than you to do it for you. 318 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 2: We can come to terms with never having an empty 319 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: inbox and not feel the pressure to try. We can 320 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: make rules about scrolling through emails after work. We can 321 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: just put the phone down. It's interesting to understand how 322 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: the brain works in response to notifications. According to Catherine Burkitt, 323 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: who is a neuroscience and digital wellbeing expert who's working 324 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: along two Degrees on this project, notifications from phones trigger 325 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: the dopamine, making it highly addictive. She says, our obsession 326 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: with our phones are physically altering our brains, damaging our relationships, 327 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: draining our energy, and reducing our overall well being. I 328 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: get it, it's hard to make a change, but I 329 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: am absolutely certain that in ten to twenty years we 330 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: will look back and wonder what the hell we were 331 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: thinking with the endless content apps, notification likes, and swipes. 332 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: We can't keep blaming the tech companies. We know what 333 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: they're in it for. We can keep blaming the tech. 334 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: A lot of tech is really cool and helpful. At 335 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: some point we have to step up and take responsibility 336 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: for how we use it.

The Vatican has shared now 509 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 13: images of the Pontiff in an open coffin, and we're 510 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 13: now getting more details about the funeral arrangements and in 511 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 13: a little over twelve hours time now, Pope Frances will 512 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 13: be taken to cent Peter Spasilica and the coffin will 513 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 13: be there until the burial, and that is for the 514 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 13: public to pay their respects to him. 515 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: Kevin it just doesn't end for the family of Medel 516 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: and McCain. 517 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 5: Does it. 518 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 13: I'm afraid not no. So a couple of extraordinary cases 519 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 13: currently before the judges here where two women have denied 520 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 13: stalking the family of Madeline macan. You remember the little 521 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 13: girl went missing and two thousand and seven, lots of 522 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 13: conspiracy theorists, lots of people suggesting that they might know 523 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 13: who it is. But I'm afraid the little girl has 524 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 13: never been found. And today a woman from southwest Poland 525 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 13: and a sixty year old from Cardiff in Wales attended 526 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 13: Leicester Crown Court. They entered not guilty please, and were 527 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 13: told that they would both go on trial on the 528 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 13: second of October. The twenty three year old from southwest Poland, 529 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 13: or Lubin, is accused of sending letters and messages to 530 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 13: Madeline's parents and also to her siblings Sean and Amelie McCann, 531 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 13: and also up to February of this year, the one 532 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 13: of the defenders accused of going to the family's home 533 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 13: in Leicestershire in the Midlands as well. So obviously a 534 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 13: great deal of the distress cause to the family and 535 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 13: these allegations being pursued through the courts now by those 536 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 13: relevant authorities, and last week Minister is here in the 537 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 13: UK approved a further two hundred and twenty thousand Aussie 538 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 13: dollars of funding for the ongoing investigation into Maddie's disappearance. 539 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 2: Kevin, thanks so much for your time this morning, love 540 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 2: you to catch up. It is eleven to six, French ESCA. 541 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Christopher Luxen met with his British counterparts a 542 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: Kei Starma overnight, announcing a new agreement to deeper defense 543 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: and security ties. The UK has signed a sixty million 544 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 2: dollar deal with New Zealand for the supply of drones 545 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 2: to support Ukraine, and the pair also visited Kiwi troops 546 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: training frontline Ukrainian soldiers. Jeffrey Miller is a geopolitical analyst 547 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: and he joins me now, thanks for your time, Jeffrey. 548 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 5: Good morning French ESCA. 549 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: How significant is this drone deal? 550 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 5: Look, I think it is significant for the company and 551 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 5: who knew that we had a company in Mount Mont 552 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 5: and Ui producing these kinds of drones and they do 553 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 5: so out of a factory near London in the southeast 554 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 5: of England. So those drones will be heading off to Ukraine. 555 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 5: So I think Christopher Luxin is very keen to emphasize 556 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 5: New Zealand support for Ukraine on this trip. There's a 557 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 5: major meeting in London, I believe today with officials from Europe, 558 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 5: the US and Ukraine nothing out some of the details 559 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 5: of a peace proposal that will then be put to Russia. 560 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 5: And that could include Ukraine's recognition of crime the era 561 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 5: as Russian territory or international recognition of crimeras as Russian territory, 562 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 5: which would be a very very significant concession by Ukraine 563 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 5: to make and buy its Western partners. So I think 564 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 5: Ukraine really is front and center of the agenda at 565 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 5: the moment. 566 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: Will you cate sorry, will Luckson get much of a 567 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: voice in these geopolitical moves or will he just be 568 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: doing what the big dogs tell him? 569 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 5: Oh, I think you'll be keen to put New Zealand's 570 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 5: perspective on all of these matters. In the endadas Christopher 571 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 5: Luxen's job as New Zealand Prime Minister, I think really 572 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 5: does say he should be very mindful about others who 573 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 5: are watching. I think it's very easy for New Zealand 574 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 5: Prime to go to Number ten or go to the 575 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 5: White House etc. And be quite starstruck about where they 576 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 5: are and then agree to things that or say things 577 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 5: that really are more the view of their partners. In 578 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 5: this case, Kiirstarma, I think Christal Luction should be well 579 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 5: aware that China in particular will be watching what Christopher 580 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 5: Luxen says on all things defense. Christoph Luxeen may well 581 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 5: be keen to hype up some of the hawkish rhetoric, 582 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 5: given that he's even put out that quite strong defense 583 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: capability plan a couple of weeks ago, but I think 584 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 5: China will see some of that is aimed very much 585 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 5: at it. Whenever the talk goes about the Endo Pacific, 586 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 5: I think China feels targeted. And Christopher Luxeen is visiting London, 587 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 5: He's visits in many capitals now, he still hasn't made 588 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 5: a visit to Beijing, So I think Luxan needs to 589 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 5: be careful about body says and to make sure that 590 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 5: there's very much in line with New Zealand's interests. 591 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: Will the UK appreciate the ongoing support from New Zealand 592 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: and training Ukraine soldiers. 593 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: No doubt. 594 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 5: I mean the United Kingdom and in Europe generally, Ukraine 595 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 5: has so much the focus at the moment, while New 596 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 5: Zealand is in a very different part of the world 597 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 5: and has a wider view perhaps, or we're more focused 598 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 5: on the Asia Pacific or Into Pacific as it's often 599 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 5: called now, as well as Ukraine. If you're in Ukraine 600 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 5: really is the centerpiece. So I think that's really why 601 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 5: Ukraine is a big part of the agenda. But Trained 602 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 5: of course, is also going to be a big part 603 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 5: of the talks. We're approaching Donald Trump's first one hundred 604 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 5: days in office, and it's been a whirlwind one hundred 605 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 5: days and those tariffs that were announced on Liberation Day 606 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 5: as Trump called it, have only been suspended, they haven't 607 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 5: been canceled. There's only a ninety day this Boneman, So 608 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 5: I think Starma and Luxem will be really discussing about 609 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 5: where to from here, what's the game plan. And again 610 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: I think lux needs to be careful when you come 611 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 5: up with his proposals. We put out that proposal a 612 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago that the CPTPP could work with 613 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 5: the EU. The United Kingdom's already in the CPTPP or 614 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 5: the trans specific partnership. I think he needs to Luxy 615 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 5: needs to be careful here because again China will be watching. 616 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 5: China has already applied to join the CPTPP, and China 617 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 5: is the main target of Donald Trump's tariffs of up 618 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 5: to two hundred and forty five percent now and they 619 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 5: haven't been suspended, so I think when you're there you 620 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 5: should be probably showing some level of solidarity with China, 621 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 5: which is after all New Zealand's biggest trading partner. And 622 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 5: talks of just bringing the EU into the CPTPP I 623 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 5: think are a little bit premature, and the EU is 624 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 5: not particularly supportive of true free trade, so there'll be 625 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 5: a lot to talk about, no doubt, and that meeting 626 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 5: I believe has been happening over the last few hours 627 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 5: of Stuttereron UK. 628 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: Time, Jeffrey, we've got a lot of world leaders converging 629 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: at the pope's funeral. Should luxe and. 630 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 5: Be there, I think you showed I mean, certainly if 631 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 5: he's over already in the United Kingdom, he's heading to 632 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 5: Turkey for Anzac Day. It seems that the stars are 633 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 5: aligned in a way with the sad passing of the 634 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 5: Pope's death, and it would be easy for Luxelm to 635 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 5: head back to Rome for the funeral before heading back 636 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 5: to New Zealand. I don't know whether that's been confirmed yet. 637 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 5: You would surely think that luck would take that option 638 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 5: if it's available, because of the sideline opportunities, And as 639 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 5: your correspondent was mentioning, there's going to be a big 640 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 5: parade of world leaders there from across Europe and further afield, 641 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 5: including Trump himself, including Vladimer Zelenski and Manual Makran. All 642 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 5: manner of leaders are going to be there, so it 643 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 5: would be a good opportunity for some sideline conversations, much 644 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 5: in the same way that the Queen's funeral brought together 645 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 5: a lot of world leaders back in twenty twenty two. 646 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you, Jeffrey Miller. Thank you very much for 647 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: your time this morning. Appreciate it.

Do you realize in March we sold 657 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 14: more things to the world than we've ever sold. Ever, 658 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 14: that is very exciting, isn't it exciting? And the part 659 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 14: of the part of the equation was the shocking dollar 660 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 14: because we're a third world nation and that's changing now 661 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 14: of course because of the teriffs and the whole debate 662 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 14: with Trump. Our dollars gone through the roof. I don't 663 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 14: know if you followed the currency markets, but we're sitting 664 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 14: at sixty years. 665 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 666 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 7: Good for a. 667 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 14: Tourist, good for a tourists, not good for an exporter. 668 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 14: And so anyway, so we're going to talk about that 669 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 14: this morning.
