1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: early edition with ex pole insulation, keeping Kimi Holmes warm 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: and try this winter news talks. 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: That'd be good morning, Welcome to you Tuesday, just go 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: on six after five the Principal this morning, who's already 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 2: ditched mca on everyone else now having to ditch in 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 2: CA two that's just before six, Dame Julie Christie. Why 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: are we taxpayers paying for unscripted reality TV shows of 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: a foreign format? That's the question. Shows like the Traitors 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: if you've seen that on three? It's a foreign format. 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: Donald Demato out of Australia for US this morning. How 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: many millionaires are there across the Tazzy and Cole will 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: keep huntly going, Why that's probably a good thing. Seven 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: after five. 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: The Agenda. 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: Tuesday, the fifth of August. Six hundred former Israeli security officials, 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: including X spy chiefs, have written to Trump calling for 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: an end to the war in Gaza. They say Hummus 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: is no longer a strategic threat to Israel. Comes after Nita, 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: who pushes to expand operations in Gaza. 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 3: That is all based on his assumption that Hamas does 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: not want a ceasefire deal. That these talks that have 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 3: been going on in Kata in Cairo in recent weeks 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: have really reached an impasse, and we understand that the 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: Israeli security Cabinet is going to meet in the coming 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 3: days to look at options. 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Trump's moving those two nuclear submarines closer to Russia and 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: the Kremlin Klemlin. The Kremlin is playing it all down. 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: It says they're always on combat duty anyway, nothing to 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: see here. 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 4: The Kremlin RS trains to sort of deescalate this, it 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 4: seems to me. But of course the under laying issue 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: is President Trump's frustration with Vladimir Puttin for not appearing 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 4: amenable to and in the war. 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: Steve Wikoff, it's Trump's man and special envoy. He will 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: arrive in Moscow today. This is the head of the 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: deadline Friday for posing to make a deal with Ukraine. 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: And good news for Elon Musk's wallet this morning, Tesla's 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: handing him thirty billion dollars in shears to keep him 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: on board with the company. This after a court tossed 41 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: out his original fifty billion dollar pay deal. Tesla says 42 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: it'll help keep Musk focused as the AI talent war 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: heats up. 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 5: Musk is key to the whole thing. The board recognizes this, 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 5: and look, this is an arms raise in terms of 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 5: what's going on for AAR and you cannot have musk 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 5: sort of semi committed. I think the board needed to 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 5: do this. I think they'll have another pay package at 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 5: the November shareholder meeting, and I think this is when 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 5: investerers want to see from Must to recommit to TASA. 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and x foll Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm 53 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: and dry this winter. 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: News Talk set B nine two nine two is the 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: number to text disc one nine minutes after five on 56 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: news Talk seid B. Sort of mixed reactions so far 57 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: to the NCAA changes. I thought labor's a press release 58 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: I was reading last night, and you'll be fascinated to 59 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: know they say schooling is already an anxious period for 60 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: our young people. The last thing they need is more confusion. Well, 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: I thought the curriculum was making them confuse to begin with, 62 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: the whole systems making them confuse to begin with, So 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: shouldn't we at least try to address it. The number 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: of people yesterday in education who talked about students' anxiety 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: or while we shouldn't do this because it might make 66 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: the students anxious, Well, we must be careful with that 67 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: least we make the students anxious. I mean, honestly, no 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: wonder they're anxious. It's because you don't do anything. You're 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: tiptoeing around them. Have listened to this teacher. 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 6: On R and Z. 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 7: I don't think it's an improvement. 72 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 8: High stakes assessment is incredibly stressful for a number of people. 73 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 7: The well being of students has to be considered. 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: High stakes assessment. What we're talking about here is exams. 75 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: Remember those, Yes, they were stressful. You tore your hair out, 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: you didn't sleep, you were up all night studying. You know, 77 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: you went to school shaking. Remember it was nerve wracking. 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 2: It was three hours for a start. You'd think kind 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: of planning your toilets, but that's what you did. And 80 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: guess what you got over it. You went in there, 81 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: you did it, and if you studied hard, you'd come 82 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: out with a good grade at the end of it. 83 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: And you know what the grade was. So I don't 84 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: understand what the big fuss is about. If we don't 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: push students. If we don't test them, if we don't 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: put them under pressure, young people, how will they ever 87 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 2: deal with pressure in life? I just think that's mad. 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: This is what the Greens. I mean, I don't even 89 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: know why I'm playing with these people. Well, probably because 90 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: they will one day be running the country again. Have 91 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: listened to Lawrence Stu Nann from the Greens. 92 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 9: Education is about curiosity, is about creating lifelong learners. So 93 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 9: we shouldn't be looking at education purity for the narrow 94 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 9: lens of so the economic framework or labor market. 95 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so just go and what read the latest magazine 96 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: and class, go and read Twitter. I mean, what, seriously, 97 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: what do these people want? Eleven after five? Ryan Bridge 98 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: coming up next. We'll look at another mad issue in 99 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: New Zealand at the moment, and that's coal. Yes, we 100 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: are getting more of it. Six hundred thousand tons of 101 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: coal is going to be stockpiled to keep Huntley's lights on. 102 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: And some people, some people, not everybody, some people think 103 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 2: that's a bad idea. We'll discuss that next. 104 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with x fole insulation keeping 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Kiwio's warm and try this winter news talks. 106 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: That'd be good morning. Just gone thirteen after five, Ryan, 107 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: sounds like this could help build resilience in young people. 108 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: This is the NCAA changes. Yes, Well, isn't that a 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: word that we need to hear more associated with teenagers? Right, 110 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: we'll get to Dame Julie Christie on those taxpayer funded 111 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: unscripted reality shows in a second. Just gone fourteen minutes 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: after five, Bryan Bridge, we got news out of the 113 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: Big Four Gen Taylor's yesterday. They're importing six hundred thousand 114 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: tons of coal and storing it at Huntley. This is 115 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: to protect us from energy security problems like the ones 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: we had last year. It should keep the plant running 117 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: for another ten years. Mike Cases with the rewiring Altet. Oh, 118 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: he's the CEO, Mike, good morning. 119 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 10: Good morning, Ryan, how are you my friend? 120 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: Very well? Thank you. Good to have you back on 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: the show. Now, you're a practical guy, so I know 122 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: that you will understand why we need to do this. 123 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 10: Oh, one hundred percent, and hopefully we can get to 124 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 10: the no nonsense, no spin answers on this. But yes, 125 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 10: unfortunately we're in a situation that we need a giant 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 10: pile of coal at Huntley to keep our energy system running, 127 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 10: and we need to avoid it all costs rolling blackouts, 128 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 10: which well, you know, we may have come close to 129 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty four with how high the price. 130 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: Went because we thought we had lots of gas and 131 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: turns out we had less than we thought we did, 132 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: and then you end up with a crunch. 133 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 10: And that's one hundred percent right. And the other big 134 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 10: problem that we've seen is, you know, twenty fifteen, the 135 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 10: Productivity Commission talked about how we needed to wean ourselves 136 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 10: off get off coal. Nothing happened. Is now twenty twenty five, 137 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 10: and I think we sort of need to commit as 138 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 10: a country maybe to this being the last major coal 139 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 10: or order that we ever make. 140 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think it will be? 141 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 10: I hope so. Put simply that we just need to 142 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 10: think about better ways of managing our large battery that 143 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 10: we have. 144 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: Which is our hydro lakes. 145 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 10: And one of the most exciting things is that, you know, 146 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 10: the rollout of you know what, I'm an advocate for 147 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 10: the rollout of solar across New Zealand. Rolling out solar 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 10: across New Zealand will ultimately allow us to hold on 149 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 10: to our water for longer and burn less coal. 150 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: What about geo thermals talking to Shane Jones about this 151 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: now day. It's hugely expensive to drill for nent do 152 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: lots of holes apparently, but once you get it, it's 153 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: year round. 154 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 10: I'm a massive fan of our geo thermal and all 155 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 10: other forms of renewables. The simple answer is the more 156 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 10: energy that we can generate in the middle of winter, 157 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 10: the longer we can hold onto that water for and 158 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 10: the less coal that we need to burn. So I 159 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 10: think all options should be on the table, and it 160 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 10: really comes down to a cost benefit analysis to working 161 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 10: out how we keep power bills low or the lowest possible. 162 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: For newsic hoonders appreciate you time. Mike Casey rewiring alted 163 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: our CEO just gone sixteen minutes after five. Who else 164 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: a really practical people? Nine two, nine and two, by 165 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: the way, is the number to text on coal. Well, 166 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: not just cold but anything this morning. But the Danes, 167 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: the Danish are practical people, just no nonsense, no fluff, 168 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: straight up and down. Practical. And there's a zoo in 169 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: Denmark that's appealing for donations of healthy small pets because 170 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: they need to feed the predators at the zoo, so 171 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: they just put a post up on Facebook. Imagine Auckland 172 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: Zoo doing this anyway. They said we accept chickens, rabbits 173 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: and guinea pigs from anyone who's trying to get rid 174 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: of a pet. Also said it would gratefully receive live horses. Yeah, 175 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: they've got a few predators there. The deputy director of 176 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: Alberg Zoo says, for many years the zoo we fed 177 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: our carnivores with smaller livestock. When keeping carnivals, it's necessary 178 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: to provide them with the meat, preferably with the fur 179 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: and the bones, et cetera, to give them as natural 180 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: a diet as possible. So you got some wild predators 181 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: behind bars, you've got to feed them. Then you know 182 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 2: they need a whole piece of prey. Basically, can't give 183 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: them a dog roll. They need the fur, need the bones, 184 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: need the meat and the practical danes get the job done. 185 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 2: Just gone seventeen after five news talk said b Dame 186 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: Julie Christie. 187 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Next the news you need this morning and the in 188 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: depth analysis earlier this ye with Ryan Bridge and ex 189 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: Bowl insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry.

I found them 195 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: quite nerve breaking, although I must say, and did pass 196 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: them while they were stop piling the coal at Huntley. 197 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: This is from another one of our listeners this morning. 198 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: Why aren't we digging it up out of our own 199 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: goddamn soil.

Dame Julie Christie's a television producer and 208 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: creative Celebrity Treasure Island with me this morning, Dame Julie, 209 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. Is this it's an ungodly hour. 210 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: I appreciate you being here with me. Should should club? 211 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 7: It's called isn't it. 212 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: That's right, Hey, she's a very good book. 213 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 7: Actually, there is a good book called The five Am 214 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 7: Club which helps with the early mornings. 215 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: Well, I should have read that a long time ago. 216 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: Should we taxpayers be putting money into unscripted reality shows? 217 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 7: Well, I mean one of the side effects of the 218 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 7: movement of ad revenue away from traditional TV has been 219 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 7: the loss of actually the most popular shows because you know, 220 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 7: mostly because of their costs. I mean, for many years 221 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 7: drama has almost all New Zealand drama has been supported 222 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 7: by government funding, and these shows actually deliver a big audience, 223 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 7: and bigger audience than any drama. We are facing having 224 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 7: no entertainment television at all on our screens. And you know, 225 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 7: we can't just have British, Australian and American shows. We 226 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 7: don't have the we don't have the the the I 227 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 7: guess the legislation which demands that you've got to make 228 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 7: so much local content in order to have a license 229 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 7: in this country to even be a broadcaster. So there 230 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 7: is no protectionism. So I think it's inevitable. It's a 231 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 7: really good short term decision, but we've got to find 232 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 7: a way to make it a hand up, not a handout. 233 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 7: So the long term sustainability is a challenge. 234 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: Really we're all going on Netflix and watching American stuff 235 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: or British stuff, foreign stuff. Could you make an argument 236 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: that that's where we get our entertainment. But we also 237 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: now have social media. We see Kiwi characters on social 238 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: media and we follow them and they entertain us, and 239 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: it's done in a different way perhaps to traditional television. 240 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: It is. 241 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 7: But the great thing about these shows is they are 242 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 7: a shared experience, you know, Like I mean, Treasure has 243 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 7: been around since nineteen ninety seven, so twenty eight years 244 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 7: I think. And one of the other decisions which you 245 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 7: probably didn't notice about the latest thing was the return 246 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 7: of My House My Castle, which is you know, twenty 247 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 7: four years old. It ran for ten years. It was 248 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 7: actually TV two's answer to Fair Go on TV one, 249 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 7: which we produced way back then. So I think these 250 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: shows which enable people to sit down together are actually 251 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 7: really good for us, I feel. I mean, the question is, 252 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 7: you know, it's going to be a much harder decision for 253 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 7: a new Cellini when the block bachelor married at first 254 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 7: site in those shows say me too, So how do 255 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 7: you decide which of these sort of shows to fund 256 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 7: is going to be a much harder decision than funding 257 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 7: this one. Normally New Zealand on here would have what 258 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 7: would always cite reflecting our cultural identity as being a 259 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 7: criteria for funding. But this time they appear to have 260 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 7: made a commercial decision, which is pretty much needed. 261 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 2: God that's said, isn't it? But the thing that I 262 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: saw you studay that the Traitor is not even one 263 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: of our formats. It's a foreign one. 264 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 7: No, no, no, it's not. It's not Trusure Onland is original? 265 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 7: Ip I mean, what does an ideal situation look like 266 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 7: to me? Anyway? And it's just my opinion. Is it 267 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 7: an ideal situation looks like is that we start developing 268 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 7: more New Zealand formats. We haven't had one for many 269 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 7: years actually, with exception of Guy Montgomery's I'm Spelling Bee, 270 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 7: which I think is now in Australia and New Zealand, 271 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 7: we're not developing those formats. So perfection looks like you 272 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 7: develop a New Zealand format, you create a hub like 273 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 7: a place where it can be made, and all different 274 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 7: countries come in and make that show here in New Zealand, 275 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 7: therefore providing long term sustainability. We own the IP. There's 276 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 7: something of value, you know, that's a that's a that's 277 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 7: the what the ideal looks like. So to me that 278 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 7: has to be the next step is you're going to 279 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 7: go down this this road. You've got to we've got 280 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 7: to look at New Zealand IP, We've got to look 281 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 7: at improving the things with things within our own industry. 282 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 7: So we're back creating those sort of shows which we 283 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 7: used to create a. 284 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: Bit of DIY don Julie Christy, I appreciate your time 285 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: this morning, just gone twenty four minutes half to five. 286 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: News Talks HEB the early edition full the Show podcast 287 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB. 288 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: News Talks AB twenty six minutes after five. We need 289 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: to be a bit practical about this business of important coal. 290 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: I reckon yesterday Genesis, Mercury, Meridian Contacts. They came together 291 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: and announced they're going to stockpile up to six hundred 292 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: thousand tons of coal to keep the lights on at Huntley. 293 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: Coal gives us a backup for when times, you know, 294 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: when electricity is low, when the late levels are low, 295 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: when the wind isn't blowing. Huntley is the largest electricity 296 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: generation site in the country, and it needs fuel to 297 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: run on. Eventually, they would like it to be all 298 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: biomass and green and friendly, etc. But in the meantime 299 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: they need something reliable to keep things chugging along so 300 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: as we avoid another energy crunch like we had last 301 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: year when spot prices went berserk because we realized how 302 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: little gas we have in this country and cue the 303 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: predictable outcries of disbelief and feigned shock from some quarters 304 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: in reaction to this, including those climate protesters. Have you 305 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: seen them, who I can only assume are still disrupting 306 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: operations at the Stockton mine in the South Island, hanging 307 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: from an aerial bucket with their banners unfurled. Last time 308 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: I saw them, there was a woman up there in 309 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: the bucket, you know, health and safety be damned, zooming 310 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: into a call with a journalist. And she did this 311 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: completely unironically, surrounded by a plethora of plastic in things 312 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: like the cables she was using, her cell phone, the 313 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: battery packs, the tools, even her helmet plastic, plastic, plastic. 314 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: She explained that coal was evil, of course, and would 315 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: eventually ruin and kill the planet, never mind the fact 316 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: that her presence in the bucket meant that workers were 317 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: now having to truck their coal from one site to 318 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: another using yes, you guessed it, diesel engines rather than 319 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: the aerial rope pulley system whose bucket she and her 320 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: plastic fantastic friends were now occupying. No shame either, apparently 321 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: about a helicopter flying in. This was the local news 322 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: reporting a helicopter flying in, Yes with avgas to check 323 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: on the protest is after a bit of rain. Paul 324 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: thinks the reality is this. Nobody's saying coal is amazing 325 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: and it's the only solution to our problem, and let 326 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: burn it till we all burn. I've not heard anyone 327 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: say that. They're just saying we need this reliable fuel 328 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: to tide us over till we don't need it anymore. 329 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 2: If the choice is to either burn coal or have 330 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: a cold shower, I know what I'm doing. And let's 331 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: not forget that. Even if we did stop digging up 332 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: coal and using it to heat our homes, occasionally, some 333 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: other country far away would be doing exactly that anyway. 334 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: News Talk said Beat reporters after news. 335 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: The first Word on the News of the Day early 336 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and ex fole insulation keeping Kiwi 337 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: homes warm and dry.

Apparently, Now, 511 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 8: this global report says the surge in wealth is very 512 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 8: much tied to the property market, and well that nation 513 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 8: Australia owns nearly ten point five trillion dollars worth of 514 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 8: residential land and dwellings, so it's a lot. It's about 515 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 8: one point five million, one point five million dollars worth 516 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 8: for one in ten Aussies. But as we've mentioned, most 517 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 8: of the wealth is concentrated into real estate, so there's 518 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 8: cash and deposits. They only make up about ten percent 519 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 8: of our. 520 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 2: Wealth by the way, right, Yeah, probably a similar story here, 521 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 2: though maybe not as many as one in ten. Hey, 522 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: appreciate your time. Donna donnod Demoro are Australia correspondent time 523 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 2: now twelve minutes away from six Crayon Bridge. NCA is 524 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: out as the government promise Level one gone year elevens 525 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 2: will now do literacy and numeracy tests instead Level two 526 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: and three. That's being replaced with a new qualification where 527 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: students will need to pass four out of the five 528 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: subjects each year and say goodbye to achieved merit and 529 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: excellence not achieved. We're going old school again, back to 530 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: ABCD and E grades and a percent to boot playing 531 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: your tat to college is one of the many schools 532 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 2: that dropped in CA Level one. Principal Patrick Gales with 533 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: me now, Hi Patrick, good morning, How are you good? 534 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: Thank you so well? First question is this going to 535 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: make people who've got an NCAA qualification? Does it sort 536 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 2: of devalue these? 537 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 6: But not at all. I think what we applied to 538 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 6: propose here is an ongoing resirement. I think if we 539 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 6: stand still in education, we go backwards. So it's important 540 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 6: that we step forward whilst continuing to value the qualifications 541 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 6: that are you know, the plus twenty years of students 542 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 6: have got and have achieved and have done very well 543 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 6: with you. 544 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: Have already decided to ditch the INCA Level one. Will 545 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: you then do this new what standard that the government's 546 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: talking about? 547 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 7: Yeah? 548 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 6: Absolutely, So the Foundation Award essentially replaces what it's already 549 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 6: in place in terms of what we call the CIAS 550 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 6: or the Coquisit Literacy and University we's done further down 551 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 6: the school. Still bring that intended into year eleven and 552 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 6: then we'll continue to do years twelve and thirteen as 553 00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 6: we already do. 554 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: For a year eleven student, if you're on the first cohort, 555 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: what will be different for you about your school year? 556 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 6: I think the most important thing to remember is that 557 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 6: this the assessment system is just the result of a 558 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 6: really well taught curriculum. So we've got curriculum reform coming 559 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 6: into New Zealand starting next year in the secondary school, 560 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 6: and the quality of teaching and learning that takes place there, 561 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 6: we're hoping to see was significantly improved. Now we've got 562 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 6: a curriculum's going to guide us effectively and that will 563 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 6: allow students to have far better outcomes. 564 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: So the curriculum reform actually more important than the system 565 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: itself in Caa. 566 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 6: Absolutely. The curriculum determines what you do in the classroom 567 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 6: and what students learned. That's been a little bit absent 568 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 6: in the past due to a lack of detail. Now, 569 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 6: with a much more knowledge rich curriclum coming into place, 570 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 6: we hope each have fuel guidance into what and how 571 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 6: teach so that students can learn more effectively. 572 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 2: Anything wrong with giving a percentage when someone you know 573 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: seventy eight percent past. 574 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a little bit hidden. What's effectively 575 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 6: happened is that each assessment actually will be out of 576 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 6: twenty five, some might be out of fifty depending upon 577 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 6: how the internal external split lands. So when you add 578 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: up the total market in the subject, it will be 579 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 6: come on to one hundred. And I think that makes 580 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 6: it easier for the community and employers particularly to understand. 581 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: What about this idea. And we've heard from a couple 582 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: of teachers and certainly the Green Party over the last 583 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: twenty four hours in of your assessments are very stressful 584 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: for students and we should do everything to protect students 585 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: from stressing anxiety. Do you subscribe to that view? 586 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 6: My point of view is that actually our students well 587 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 6: being is determined by their academic achievements. We know if 588 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 6: they get good academic results, we sent them well up 589 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 6: for future life, they will achieve well in life and 590 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 6: I would assume that will reduce anxiety and stress in 591 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 6: the future. So at some point students need to face 592 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 6: a situation whereby they're going to be under bit of pressure. 593 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 6: That's part of life. We already have external exams in place. 594 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 6: That's not changing. It's just some sorts of chosen not 595 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 6: to engage in those. 596 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: Patrick, appreciate your time this morning. Patrick Gowad's as a 597 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: college principle. It's nine to six News Talks in b. 598 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 599 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: Bridge and x fol Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry. 600 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: This winter News Talk st B. He's gone six to 601 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: six on news Talk, said B Across the Tasman. In Australia, 602 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: we just spoke to Donn and De Mayo. But the 603 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: Melbourne Institute there, they've got an inflation gauge survey and 604 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: it's bad news for them, especially for those who've got 605 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: a mortgage. You want a rate cut on their very 606 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: expensive homes. Surge zero point nine percent for July. This 607 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 2: is the steepest increase since December twenty twenty three, and 608 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: is certainly up on June's zero point one percent increase. 609 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: So what does that mean for the Reserve Bank. They've 610 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: got a meeting on August the twelfth, everyone's expecting them. 611 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: The market's priced in a couple more cuts before Christmas, 612 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: so the question is will they actually happen. Inflation's just 613 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: so sticky, isn't it? And sticky for everyone everywhere at 614 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: the moment, well, basically everyone just gone five away from 615 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 2: six Ryan Bridge. Mike's here now, hey, Mike morning. It's 616 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 2: just annoying and fla. It's like you know when you 617 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: walk the dog. You don't walk the dog, but you 618 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: go to the dog park and occasionally you might step 619 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: in some dog doo doo, and then you go home 620 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: and you clean it off and you use a hose 621 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: and you use a brush, and you think you've got 622 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: it all, and then the next day they're still more there, 623 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: is it? Right? Yeah? And it's the same thing with inflation. 624 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: Doesn't matter how many times you think you've got rid 625 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: of it. It lingers. 626 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 15: Why aren't you working for a bank as an economist? 627 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 15: I mean really, I mean, come. 628 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: With analogies like that. 629 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 15: The well, it's all the cost plus stuff, isn't it. It's 630 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 15: the insurance companies, it's the councils, it's the people who 631 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 15: are not answerable to anyone really who could know they 632 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 15: can get away with it. They go, why's it gone 633 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 15: up eighteen percent? Because it has, Because it has. That's 634 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 15: how it works, isn't it. 635 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: And our prices are gone up, so we need to 636 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: put prices in. Everyone does, and. 637 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 15: That's how it works. And that's the great that's the great, 638 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 15: that's the great quandary, isn't it. So what you end 639 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 15: up with is my favorite economic expression potentially, which is 640 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 15: called stagflation, which is where you have inflation but no 641 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 15: no growth. And it's entirely possible. The quarter we're going 642 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 15: to get shortly Q two economically GDP is going to 643 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 15: go backwards, and yet we're going to have inflation with 644 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 15: less than no growth, and that is called stagflation. So 645 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 15: how you dig yourself out of that hole? 646 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: Also known as doggy do doos? Doggy doo doos, exactly, 647 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: steaming pile of it? 648 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 15: A raiser Robertson, he's charged with the or blocks. Yeah, 649 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 15: he'll be he'll be into are you as negative because 650 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 15: I'm going to out some of the people here. So 651 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 15: I'm saying two from two for Argentina, not even not 652 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 15: even a contest. There are people on my show who 653 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 15: argue it might not be that easy and they think 654 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 15: they're going to lose both to South Africa. So that's 655 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 15: the sort of lack of patriotism I deal with on 656 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 15: my program daily. 657 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 2: I say, we win them all. Yeah, but that seems 658 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: to me like you just Eden Park, isn't it we 659 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: win that? Of course? I mean history tells us yeah, 660 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 2: exactly exactly. I'd like say, why not? And he's playing everyone. 661 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: I mean he's looking confident. 662 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 15: I'm playing. 663 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 2: The day you play exactly the day the all Blacks 664 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: live their lust. Any anyway, among others, educational ministries, you'd 665 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: be on the wing when you're have a good day. 666 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 1: Run for more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge.
