00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320

00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: that we're hearing from the RNC convention in Milwaukee. Marco

Speaker 2: Rubio's former chief of staff, is with us just before

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: six to break that down. Also this morning, what's more

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: important stopping adults smoking cigarettes or preventing kids from starting

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: to vape? That's the question for you just before six thirty.

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: Right now it is seven after five, the agenda. It

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: is Friday, the nineteenth of July. SEEK Job data is

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: out showing the number of job ads dropped by eight

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: percent in June and thirty five percent year on year.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: Country manager Rob Clark says the fall and job ads

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: is in line with the current economic climate and the

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: growing unemployment rate.

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: It's pretty widespread, and you know, the Preserve Bank still

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: predicts unemployment to rise. A lot of the consumer and

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: business confidence measures are low.

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: Ursula Vondalane will serve another five years as President of

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: the European Commission following a vote among members of the

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: European Parliament. Four hundred and one members voted to keep

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: her in the role, forty one more than needed. So

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: you can imagine this is a very emotional and special

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: moment for me.

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 4: Now, I am grateful for.

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: The trust and the confidence of the majority of the

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: European Parliament.

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: She's from the center right European People's Party and was

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: first elected in twenty nineteen, so that's still be two

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: terms for her. And interestingly to get her across the line,

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: she needed the Green means the far right doesn't like

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: her to the UK. Now, five climate protesters who blocked

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: the major M twenty five motorway for four days have

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: been jailed. Forty five protesters from Just Stop Oil blocked

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: the road in November twenty twenty two, causing major gridlock

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: across southern England. Of the five get this, one was

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: sentenced to five years in prison. The others got four years.

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: That is how you stop a protest. It's eight after five.

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day's early

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Beds and a flying store.

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be you couldn't get a stark contrast

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: between Biden and Trump at the moment, could you. There's

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Biden clenching his first bloodied face, defiant in the face

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: of a bullet. I mean, you want to hear what

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: they're saying at this RNC. Let's call it a rally,

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: because the number of times they shout Usa, USA, I mean,

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how they have the stamina for it.

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: But anyway, you couldn't have a stark contract between Trump,

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: who looks to be strong, and Biden, who is now

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: isolating at his beach house because he's got COVID and

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: I just wanted to And also Pelosi's breathing down his

58
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: neck again. Apparently they had a private call and she's

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: trying to get him off the ticket and trying to

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: convince him to leave, and he's getting angry and saying no.

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: So he's at home at the beach house with his

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: feet up with COVID at the moment. But have a

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: listen to this. This was a new interview that's on YouTube.

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: He was asked a couple of questions which he stumbled on.

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: The first was his answer to a question about when

66
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: Obama tapped him to be his VP.

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: Listen, I didn't plan him because when I in twenty twenty,

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 6: when broadcasted me vice president, I joined him, which is

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 6: a great.

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: Honor in twenty twenty, it was actually two thousand and

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: eight that Obama tapped him on the shoulder to be

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: his vice president. He was also asked about Trump's moves

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: to get black voters on board, and this is what

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: he said every.

75
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 6: Time every election that I ran and where it was

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 6: a nine year off here, I got over ninety seven

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: of the blackfoot and the number of folks participating didn't

78
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 6: slow down because it didn't reduce. So look, I you

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 6: know Trump.

80
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: Action, what what is he even saying? So it's not

81
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: a not a great time for the Democrats at the moment. Interestingly,

82
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 2: we're going to speak to Marco Rubio's chief precator, chief

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: press secretary later in the show, and he said, Marco Rubio,

84
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: that is he tweeted, why is it if you're a

85
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: Democrat and you don't believe that Trump, sorry, that Biden

86
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: can be a candidate for president. Why is he fit

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: to even be the president right now? So we're going

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: to talk to him about that later on. The Democrats,

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: they tried to have this vote to this procedural vote before

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: the nomination takes place at their convention next month. That

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: has failed. So it's the fundraising apparently has stalled because

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: of Biden's performance. So things aren't looking good for the Democrats.

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: You'd have to say, the question is when can you

94
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: actually get rid of it, rid of him if that's

95
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: what you want to do. The convention is in Chicago,

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: that's midway through next month. If he doesn't stand aside

97
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: by then it starts to get very very difficult, very

98
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: difficult to change the candidate. And what if he freezes

99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: up on camera again? What do you do then then?

100
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: And you know, then the elections weeks away. It's far

101
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: too late to change a candidate. Then we'll talk about

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: all of this just before six, right now, eleven after five.

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we are debating vaping, heated tobacco products

104
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: versus cigarettes.

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.

108
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: News Talk sai'd be fourteen after five. The government has

109
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: quietly cut excise tax on heated tobacco products by fifty percent.

110
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: A spokesperson for the Associate Health Minister, Casey Costello, says

111
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: the move was made to encourage smokers to switch to

112
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: safer alternatives. However, critics say there is no evidence at

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: will work, saying that they have opened a pathway for

114
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: youth nicotine addiction. Chris Bollin is with the Health Coalition

115
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Altered Aron is with me this morning. Chris, good morning.

116
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: Are these heated tobacco products safer than smoking?

117
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: Well, they probably are a little safer, but we don't

118
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: have a huge amount of independent research information on these products.

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: Most of the data we have on them is from

120
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: tobacco industry commissioned research, so there is a question mark.

121
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: But to say, I guess the important point is do

122
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: they work to help people quit smoking? Which seems to

123
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: be what the minister is interested in using them for,

124
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: and there's absolutely no independent research about that side of

125
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: these products.

126
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Is there arristic kids will start using them? Is there

127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: evidence that kids start using them they have never smoked

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: or vaped before.

129
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: The kids use one is an interesting one. There's limited evidence,

130
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: but what we know is that once the price is reduced,

131
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: then new, interesting, novel products to become interesting, more accessible

132
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: to young people who have limited dispos of disposable income. So,

133
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: considering their price point now, which is quite high, this

134
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: removal of fifty percent of the tax will make them

135
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: much more affordable. And therefore there is a risk.

136
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: When you say young people, we don't mean teenagers do

137
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: because they're not allowed to buy any of this stuffeat well.

138
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 3: Strictly speaking, they're not allowed to if they are under eighteen,

139
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: that's correct, but we're talking about eighteen to thirty year olds,

140
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: and that's really a generation that has the opportunity to

141
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: not get involved with nicotine or tobacco dependence and save

142
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: themselves a lot of misery later in life.

143
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: Chris, what's more important, because that seems to me you

144
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: can't have your cake and eat it too. What's more

145
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: important stopping adults from smoking cigarettes or preventing kids from

146
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: starting a vape or a heated tobacco product.

147
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it's quite as sort of clear

148
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: cut and dichotomis as that the fact is for adults

149
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 3: who are currently smoking, they've got real and present threat

150
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: their life expectancy. They're risk at having a heart attack

151
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: or cancers is very high, and so it's important that

152
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: we get that almost a quarter of a million New

153
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Zealanders who are currently still smoking to quit smoking as

154
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 3: soon as possible. So there is a sense of urgency here. However,

155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: you know, it's a sort of there is a risk

156
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: that with introducing new products that are untested that and

157
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: are supported by a huge marketing effort from the industries

158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: behind them, that we will see a large number of

159
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: young people taking up the products who've never smoked. And

160
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: that's been the problem with vping, where you've got a

161
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: good product in the case of vaping that's been tested

162
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: in trials in Charine, they effective, but the regulation has

163
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: not been enforced in the marketing to been free rein

164
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: So we don't want that to happen with these new products. Chris,

165
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: I think that's a real risk.

166
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you very much for your time. Appreciate

167
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: it this morning. That's crispull And who's the Health Coalition

168
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: alted our spokesperson, just gone seventeen minutes after five here

169
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: on news Talks, he'd be, I don't know. I think

170
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: if you're if you're a smoker, still a smoker now

171
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: you're paying but somewhere between forty and fifty dollars for

172
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: a pack of twenty cigarettes, if you're still smoking when

173
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: cigarettes are that expensive, and supposedly there's a lower income

174
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: households that are that are still smoking. I mean, how

175
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: do you even do that? How do you even afford that?

176
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: If you're still doing it now, you must be so

177
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: stubborn or addicted that you know, is anything really going

178
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 2: to change? I don't know. Just got eighteen after five

179
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: here on news Talks. Here be new benefit numbers out,

180
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: will have those few next.

181
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early

182
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture

183
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Beds and a play at store news Talk set'd be it's.

184
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: Gone twenty past five. Text here from Shan says, I

185
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: can remember when vaping first entered the market, the anti

186
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: smoking lobby were dead for it. They said it would

187
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: stop people smoking cigarettes. Now they're turning around and attacking

188
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: that and the heated tobacco products. Right, it is a

189
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: twenty aufter five of us. As I say, the number

190
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: of people on a benefit has risen to a new

191
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: record for the June quarter. That's three hundred and eighty

192
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: one thousand people, an increase of twenty nine thousand from

193
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: the same time last year. And get this, this is

194
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: the job seeker numbers, those are ready for work, one

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen thousand people, up nearly fifteen percent year

196
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: on year. The number of benefit sanctions issued by the

197
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: Ministry of Social Development is also up fifty percent on

198
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: the same time last year. Craig Rennie is an economist

199
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 2: and policy director for the Council of Trade Unions. He's

200
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: with me this morning. Craig, good morning to you. Good morning.

201
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: First of all, what's your reaction to the numbers. I mean,

202
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: it's going to keep going up, the number of people

203
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: on the jobs you could benefit, right, because of the

204
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: state of the economy.

205
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right, And the number of people on the

206
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 7: topic of benefit is going to keep rising. The Treasury

207
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 7: forecasts that the number of people who were unemployed will

208
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 7: rise by about forty seven thousand since the Discoverment has

209
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 7: taken office, just because of the changing economic background, but

210
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 7: also we had record low unemployment until very recently, and

211
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 7: so it's heading back into more normal territory.

212
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: So is this a necessarily a bad thing? We kind

213
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: of need We kind of need this, don't we in

214
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: some ways to rebalance the economy and get the interest

215
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: rates down.

216
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 7: Unemployment is always a bad thing. The more people who

217
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 7: are in work, there are more households with more money

218
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 7: in their pockets, and poverty falls. People are better off.

219
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 7: Unemployment is never a thing that you're trying to aim.

220
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 7: It's always thing you should be trying to avoid. And

221
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 7: the best evidence from New Zealand is that the impact

222
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 7: of unemployment is felt far more than the impact of

223
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 7: the cost of living on the households.

224
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: I guess if you're the government, you're looking at you know,

225
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: let's take for example, the public service cuts. You're better off,

226
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: aren't you having people and jobs that don't produce outcomes?

227
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: You're better off having them on a benefit. You know,

228
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: what's the point in having somebody in a job if

229
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: there's no good outcome in terms of public service delivery,

230
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: just for the sake of it.

231
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 7: That may be too, but we don't have any evidence

232
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 7: that those workers who are sitting there dost being fucked

233
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 7: weren't actually delivering anything. We have quite the opposite. We

234
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: have lots of evidence that those who are losing their

235
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 7: jobs were doing front lane, often front lane work in

236
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 7: New Zealand, and there are actually many of the people

237
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 7: we need to have in the country. We're losing skills

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 7: rapidly to offseas, precisely because we're cutting jobs in some

239
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 7: of these areas, and we're going to make it much

240
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 7: more difficult to deliver the claims of public services we

241
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 7: want to see in New Zealand if we lose many

242
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 7: of these people. So there's no evidence to support the

243
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 7: allegation at least that the people aren't doing anything. There

244
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 7: aren't contributing anything to New Zealand.

245
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 2: Craig the sanctions on particularly those under twenty five. A

246
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: lot of who are about this yesterday, people saying it's terrible,

247
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: you know, particularly for the under twenty five. Isn't it

248
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: important that they have clear expectations and consequences if they

249
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: don't meet them.

250
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 7: It's very important that there's clear expectations and that there's

251
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 7: expectations work both ways. That people are very clear as

252
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 7: to what they should be able to access, how they

253
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 7: should be able to get support, but there's also very

254
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 7: clear that there use that there are rules that people

255
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 7: have to obade by. But when we look at the data,

256
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 7: there does seem to have been a really big shift

257
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 7: in the number of assumptions that have been delivered, particularly

258
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 7: in this last quarter, and ext questions of what's different

259
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 7: now with what was happening three months ago.

260
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: Craig, thanks very much for your time. That's Craig Rennie

261
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: who's with the Council of Trade Unions. Just gone twenty

262
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: four minutes after five. We're back in just a second

263
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: talking about school attendance.

264
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the section Kids Billy edition with

265
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store News

266
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: Talk z'd.

267
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: Be twenty six after five. More than a quarter of

268
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: students skipped school the friday before King's Birthday weekend. More

269
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: than a quarter of our kids didn't show up to

270
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: class because they wanted a four day weekend. The question

271
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: is were they wagging or did Mum and Dad take

272
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: them on holiday wee weekend batch or a few days fishing.

273
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: Perhaps when I was at school, Mum would never have

274
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: allowed us to take a day off school for anything.

275
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: Really other than sickness, and only if it was serious.

276
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: We definitely weren't taken out of school for a holiday.

277
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: So why are parents allowing this to happen? Do you

278
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: think surely as a mum or a dad, as a parent,

279
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: a caregiver, you want the best for your kids, and

280
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: the evidence shows the more that at school learning, the

281
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: better off they'll be. The government is celebrating a slight

282
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: uptick in school attendance at the moment. The Ministry of

283
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Education figures shows fifty three point one percent of students

284
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: attended regularly at school for term two. That's compared to

285
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: forty seven percent during the same time last year. So

286
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: a slight uptick, and I mean you've got to take

287
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: the wins where you can get them right. Other data

288
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: appears to show that term time trips to Fiji, for example,

289
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: are becoming a thing of the past. This is Flight

290
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: Center data showing that travel during the school term has

291
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: dropped thirty percent and they are going in the holidays

292
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: instead when it's more expensive. I suppose the question for

293
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: Seymour et l. Is whether the kids who are skipping

294
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: school because mum and dad want to take them skiing

295
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: would have ended up ram rating a dairy for example.

296
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: Because Seymour's argument is that if you're out of school,

297
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: you'll be committing crime. That you know, today's truancy crisis

298
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: is tomorrow's crime crisis. The question is whether that is

299
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: the case, or whether kids either wagging or skipping school

300
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: because their parents don't care is the bigger problem. It's

301
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: just gone twenty eight minutes after five.

302
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 8: Ryan Bridge.

303
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Now there's a very bizarre story out of Italy, the

304
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: Italian journalist who's been ordered to pay five thousand euros

305
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: and damages because he did a Twitter post about the

306
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: prime minister, the Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney. He put

307
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: a picture up where he'd photoshopped her next to Mussolini,

308
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: the dictator, and I would have thought that is what

309
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: she would have been sewing for. But no, Actually the

310
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: reason that he got the fine is because he referred

311
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: to her as a little woman. He said, quote, you

312
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: don't scare me, you little woman. You're only four foot tall.

313
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: I can't even see you. And the court decided, actually, no,

314
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: we're okay with the Mussolini photoshop, but we're not okay

315
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: with what they called body shaming. So there you go.

316
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: He's been ordered to pay five thousand euros nine thousand

317
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars as a result of that, this journalist,

318
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: and she says is going to donate it to charity,

319
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: which is very nice of her. Yeah, according to various

320
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: Italian news outlets, she's actually one point sixty three meters

321
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: tool or five foot three. So I guess on that

322
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: basis it is defamation, you know. He he's making things up

323
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: about her height. Twenty nine minutes after five, News is

324
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: next and we are live to the Republican National Convention.

325
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: Just before six.

326
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty

327
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's

328
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: furniture bids and a player store News talk zid be.

329
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: Good more. I twenty four away from six on news talks.

330
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: He'd be lots of text coming in about education. I

331
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: sort of asked a question, why would you allow your

332
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: kid to take a quarter of all kids attending school

333
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: took the friday off before the long weekend, the King's

334
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: Birthday weekend? And I said, why would you do that?

335
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you rather your kids at school? Andy says the

336
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: key is the statement in school learning every parent and

337
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: kid knows these days that half the time spent at

338
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: school is doing bugger all. But that's the polite way

339
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: of putting it. And between all of the teachers only days,

340
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: the teacher development days, the union meetings, the kids are

341
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: at school more than the staff anyway, Andy, thanks for

342
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: your text. Another from one of our listeners, his morning, Ryan,

343
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: do you think the reason for people taking the Friday

344
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: off is because they've lost confidence in the schooling system altogether?

345
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: It's a very valid point. Twenty three minutes away from

346
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: six now. Yesterday the Republican National Convention. JD Vance was

347
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: obviously the headline act Trump's running mate, but actually I

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: thought the real star of the show was Kai Trump.

349
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: This is Donald Trump's seventeen year old granddaughter. She did

350
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: an address to the crowd which was very well received,

351
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: and apparently he's doing quite well on TikTok. And she

352
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: spoke about as she calls him Grandpa, spoke about Grandpa

353
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: calling her at school to talk about his golf game.

354
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 9: We played golf together. If I'm nine, as tim, he'll

355
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 9: try again. Inside of my head, I know, and he's

356
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 9: always surprised. I don't let him get to me. But

357
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 9: I have to remind him I'm a Trump two.

358
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: So let me go away from six. On news Talk ZEVB,

359
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: We're going to Emily Ansel, who's in Dunedin. Now, EMI controversy, controversy,

360
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 2: I should say, over the McDonald's Golden Arches and Wanica.

361
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 8: Yeah.

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 10: The first public submissions to the Queenstown Lakes District Council

363
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 10: show the majority opposed granting consent for the restaurant to

364
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 10: open in the tourist town. Concerns include food waste pou

365
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 10: and local outlets losing business. Although Auckland University planning expert

366
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 10: Bell McKay says there's no mandate for submissions to influence

367
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 10: counsel's decision, he says it's likely it will be approved,

368
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 10: but with conditions like reducing hours or signage or altering

369
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 10: the color scheme.

370
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: Weather today Emily morning, low.

371
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 10: Cloud or fog, then fine with increasing high cloud northeasterlyes

372
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 10: with a high of eleven.

373
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. It's got to clear sherwood in christ Church. Clear.

374
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe that it's actually already been a year

375
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: since the disappearance of Yan Fayebao.

376
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 11: Yes, Ryan, we can't believe it either. A search, of course,

377
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 11: was sparked at twelve months ago today for the forty

378
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 11: four year old after she failed to pick up her

379
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 11: young daughter from after school care ting. Junkow will stand

380
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 11: trial for yan Feyboo's murder in October, although no body

381
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 11: has been found. Last year's search teams had focused around

382
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 11: the Horswell River as well as Lake Alismere. Detective Inspector

383
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 11: Nikola Reeves is confirming that they're still looking. In a

384
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 11: recent search effort which saw them return to the Green

385
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 11: Park area that's near Lake Alismere, Reeve says they still

386
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 11: haven't found some items that formed part of a public

387
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 11: appeal last year, including clothing and fase, handbag contents and

388
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 11: a shovel.

389
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: Such a mystery, isn't it there? Weather today clear, low.

390
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 11: Cloud and patch night was a real clear to find

391
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 11: this afternoon before a few spots of rain again later

392
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 11: northeasterlies are high of twelve and six overnight.

393
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: Thank you Azaria House and Wellington. The art gallery in

394
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: the Capital that might have to close.

395
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, so it's actually facing a lifeline. So the Capital

396
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 12: City Gallery was forced to close last month until twenty

397
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 12: twenty six, So quite a decent chunk of time due

398
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 12: to disruptive construction in Civic Square. The Civic administration buildings

399
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 12: being demolished by the Council in some streets are closed

400
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 12: to traffic. A big crane also up their development of

401
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 12: a new building will take place once the demolition's done.

402
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 12: The council seeking to restore the civic heart of the city,

403
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 12: as it says other businesses near the site have previously

404
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 12: been considering taking legal action against the Wellington City Council,

405
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 12: suggesting the development is driving people out of the area.

406
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 12: Now City Gallery has announced its partnering with the National

407
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 12: Library to display some of its exhibitions while it is

408
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 12: out of action as that construction work goes on. Experience

409
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 12: Wellington's Diana Marsh says it's an exciting opportunity that allows

410
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 12: the galleries work to continue.

411
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, thank you for that weather today.

412
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, it appears Auckland's fog has made its way to Wellington.

413
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 12: Quite a foggy morning today. Today's weather fine apart from

425
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: And I was reading it, I thought, oh, yeah, sure, right,

426
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 5: and I was at home, had the windows open and everything.

427
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,800

Speaker 2: It's cool, and it's it's not.

434
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: Someone that I'm related to, because I don't know anyone

435
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: who's lived to that ripe old age. So it's a

436
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 5: friend's auntie.

437
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 4: But what do you take? What like a present?

438
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080

439
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 5: kind of like an experience. And I thought, if I

440
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 5: live to be ninety, what do I want?

441
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600

00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 5: Oh, fudge.

443
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,119

Speaker 4: like go out.

445
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,159

Speaker 2: I wonder what Biden's lot will wear to be in

458
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,880

00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Brilliant seventeen away from six here on news Talk, said

468
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: b And we are live to just before six o'clock.

469
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: We're live to the convention that we've been talking about.

470
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: Donald Trump due to give his keynote address.

471
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Today International correspondence with ends and Eye Insurance Peace of

472
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: mind for News Island business.

473
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: In just a few moments of the lied to met Tyrrel,

474
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: who's Marco Rubio's former chief of staff, and that's state

475
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: Florida Senator. Right now though, we're going to Vincent McVinnie,

476
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: who is our UK and Europe correspondent. The European political

477
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: community has met, including President Zelinski.

478
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 13: Good morning, Ryan, Yes, that is right. So this is

479
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 13: a new invention actually of French President Emmanuel Macron, and

480
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 13: it's meant to try and unite Europe in the wake

481
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 13: of the Ukraine War beyond just the nations that are

482
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 13: in the EU and NATO. So for instance, why the UK,

483
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 13: which is no longer in the EU, plays a part

484
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 13: in it. It was held today at Blenham Palace, the

485
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 13: birthplace of Winston Churchill, and dozens of European leaders got

486
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 13: together to discuss the challenges facing the continent. Now, this

487
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 13: was a big opportunity for our new Prime Minister, so

488
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 13: Keas Starmer, to try and reset the relationship with Europe.

489
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 13: It was a bit of a gift actually him having

490
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 13: the election and then this meeting just two weeks later

491
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 13: by former Prime Minister Richie sunek so so Kios star

492
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 13: has been meeting all his fellow European leaders. He said

493
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 13: that he wants to reset in relations with the European Union.

494
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 13: He's not saying that the UK is going to rejoin

495
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 13: or he wants us to rejoin any time soon, but

496
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 13: he thinks that a better deal could be struck, particularly

497
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 13: on a key issue facing all nations in Europe now,

498
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 13: and that is a legal migration. He wants countries to

499
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 13: work closer, more cooperation on smashing gangs which are involved

500
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 13: in human trafficking, and particularly a better deal with the

501
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 13: French because of the passage through the channel, with the

502
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 13: UK currently paying millions to the French to try and

503
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 13: stop that, but the numbers growing every single year. He's

504
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 13: admitted to Keir Starmer that it's a hard challenge, but

505
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 13: he's trying to lead by from the front by announcing

506
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 13: about eighty four million pounds worth of UK aid to

507
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 13: fund projects in Africa and the Middle East to try

508
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 13: and stop the illegal migration at its source and from

509
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 13: people traveling up to Europe.

510
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: Vincent, thank you for that. That's Vincent mcavinny, our UK

511
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: and europe correspondent A twelve away from six. That's It's

512
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: the last day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee,

513
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: Wisconsin today and the Republican nominee, Donald Trump will take

514
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: to the stage to accept the party's nomination. It'll also

515
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: be his first speaking gig, his first speaking event since

516
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: he was shot in an assassination attempt just over a

517
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: week ago. The managing partner of Firehouse Strategies and Marco

518
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: Rubio's former chief of staff, Matt Terrell, is with us. Matt,

519
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: thank you for being on the program. What are you

520
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: expecting from Trump's speech today?

521
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 8: I great to be with you. In terms of the

522
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: speech todight, you know, look, I think the tone of

523
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 8: that speech will be one that's going to be talking

524
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 8: about unity. I think it's be a big theme that

525
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 8: we've seen, of course throughout this convention. I think will

526
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 8: be a big theme it's tonight's speech, and not just

527
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 8: unity for the Republican Party, but unity for the country.

528
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 8: And certainly I think you'll touch on the key issues

529
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 8: that American stationwide are focused in on this election, including

530
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 8: the can and the inflation, immigration and crime, among other issues.

531
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 8: Of course, but those will be the core issues you'll

532
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 8: likely narrow in on during this speech as well. So

533
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 8: we'll see what he does tonight during the speech, but

534
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 8: I think that's a part of what we'll see in

535
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 8: the speech this evening.

536
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: Do you think he'll talk about Biden much? Do you

537
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: think he'll talk about the facties at home, you know,

538
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: on the bag chest with COVID.

539
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 8: Well, certainly, elections are a referendum on the company and office,

540
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 8: and right now the company is as we he President

541
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 8: Joe Biden. And look, I think a big part of

542
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 8: this speech is going to be drawing contrast not just

543
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 8: between former President Trump and President Biden, but former President

544
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 8: Trump and Democratic policies. You know, given that there have

545
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 8: been reports and we're hearing for the reports coming out

546
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 8: this week about discussions around President Biden's candidacy and who

547
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 8: the Democrat nominee will or will not be for president.

548
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 8: Leave that to the Democrat Party to discuss. But you know,

549
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 8: the bottom line is, I think this speech is just

550
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 8: going to be focused on President Biden, but also the

551
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 8: Vice president, and then obviously on Democrat policies as well,

552
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 8: trying those contrasts that can be some PLC as well.

553
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: Yes, speaking of that policy. A lot of the talk

554
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: obviously is about America first, you know, protectionism, less king

555
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: on free trade deals, particularly if they result in job losses.

556
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: In Russbecket's rough spelt states, what what's how worried should

557
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: a small trading nation like New Zealand be about this

558
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: America first strategy? Is it? Is it going to have

559
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: a big impact on the rest of us? Do you think?

560
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 8: Well? Look, i' let four person Trump speak for himself

561
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 8: in terms of his policies, whether it's on domestic or

562
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 8: international issues. I can just tell you, you know, I

563
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 8: think many Americans will look at what he did over

564
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: the past four years or excuse me, the four years that

565
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 8: he was president and essentially say, look, you know, did

566
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 8: did they like those four years of the four president

567
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 8: Trump era, whether it's on trade or other issues, or

568
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 8: do they not like it? And they're going to compare

569
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 8: a trast that record to present Biden's four years in office.

570
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 8: So I think, you know, as voters unpack that, you know,

571
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 8: I think they're going to look at, you know, how

572
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 8: they feel about it and say, you know, as we

573
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 8: go over the next four years into the future, you

574
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 8: know now what's in the best interest of the United States,

575
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 8: and ultimately, obviously we live in a global society here.

576
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 8: You know, what's good for the United States often is

577
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 8: good in terms of international dynamics and making sure we

578
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: have good partnerships around the world as well. So look,

579
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 8: all of four, President Trump dive into his policies and

580
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 8: it takes shape your particulars. I think you'll see in

581
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 8: this speech tonight. But certainly that's what that Nurkas are

582
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 8: focused on in particularly relates to our economy. You know,

583
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 8: the economy, inflation. Those are vital issues right now, top

584
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: tier issues that voters are focused in on here.

585
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: All right, Matt thinks very much for your time. That's

586
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: Matt Tyrell, Marco Rubio's former chief of staff, with US

587
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: live from these states this morning, just gone nine away

588
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: from six o'clock. We're going to talk to Mike Hoskin next. Interestingly,

589
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: the if your vice president, you cannot live in the

590
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: same state as the president. You can't have two people

591
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: living in the same state on the same ticket, which

592
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: some people thought might be why Marco Rubio didn't get

593
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: didn't get the nomination. I don't think that that's why

594
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: he didn't get the nomination. It has just gone eight

595
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: away from Sex. Back at a Second.

602
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 14: And it's moazing to watch. I thought yesterday the start

603
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 14: the whole week I found I don't know how many

604
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 14: hours I've watched, but most of them, but just to

605
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 14: watch the Kai Trump, who's the daughter of Donald Jor,

606
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 14: I thought she was magnificent. Just forget all the politics

607
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 14: for a moment, and you know, whether you'd ever vote

608
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 14: for them or like them or whatever the case may be,

609
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 14: I thought she was spectacular. And if you're looking for images,

610
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 14: there was some beautiful pictures yesterday. He had his grandkids there,

611
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 14: at least half a dozen of them as far as

612
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 14: I could count, And.

613
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: He looked normal.

614
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 14: He looked like, you know, he had his arm around

615
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 14: one of them and they were hugging him and stuff.

616
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 14: If you're running that and looking to put pictures out

617
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 14: to the world that sort of portrayed this bloke as

618
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 14: being normal and you know, someone you can relate to,

619
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 14: you can't go wrong.

620
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: And JD.

621
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 14: Varance yesterday I thought he's no orator.

622
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: No, he wasn't an orrator.

623
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 14: Bit flat, but he told he told a good story

624
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 14: because he's got to get he's got the story. He's

625
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 14: got a good story to tell. So, I mean, so

626
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 14: the week's been fascinating. The big big thing this morning

627
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 14: is I think Bline's going to go by the weekend.

628
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 14: The reporters he's out and Obama's talked to him now,

629
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 14: Schumer and Pelosi talked to him yesterday, and that's where

630
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 14: these comments. He's more receptive to going now apparently. But

631
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 14: if you look at him get up the steps to

632
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 14: the plane yesterday.

633
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: It was it was pathetic. And how can you, I

634
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: mean imagine if he had another one of those brain fades,

635
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: you know two weeks out from there.

636
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 14: Well you played that clipse those interviews that he's pre recorded.

637
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 14: He goes out to prove he's sharp and does the

638
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 14: opposite in the week that Trump did what Trump has done.

639
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 14: I mean, you can't you can't write this stuff. I mean,

640
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 14: it's been really fit. Once again, even if you don't

641
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 14: follow this, it's been the extraordinary week and affixed us all.

642
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 14: Say what you want about American politics and Trump and

643
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 14: presidential elections, it affects each and every one of us

644
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 14: because America's the most powerful country in the world.

645
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: In the prison and especially the number of times they

646
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: said America first at that convention, which which is probably

647
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: the best the best impact.

648
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 14: There's sort of the yeah, I mean, ultimately, it's not good.

649
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 14: I mean, it's not good for Ukraine, it's not good

650
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 14: for China, it's not good for us. I mean, they're

651
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 14: all isolationists essentially, So if you want to extrapolate it

652
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 14: out to that, and in that sense, that'll be a story.

653
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 14: But if you look at it this even people like

654
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 14: if you watch CNN, even people like John King, who's

655
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 14: I think a very very you know, down the middle commentator,

656
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 14: he said, if this election was held tomorrow, they would

657
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 14: romp home in a way that you haven't seen, which

658
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 14: is why Schumer and Pelosi are.

659
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: So desperate to get Trump.

660
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 14: But if that happens this weekend and you're presented with

661
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 14: Kamela Harris, you've got to ask the question, has anything

662
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 14: really changed and that's their problem.

663
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: Good.

664
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,440
