1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Trump's tariff back down. If that's what you want to

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: call it, and I know there'll be many definitions, but

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: that's what I'm calling It proves that Nikola was right

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: and Barbara yesterday was wrong. Willis took the cool, calm,

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: collected approach. Take some advice. Watch closely, don't react with haste,

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: don't spook the horses even more. Trump's already doing that. Barbara,

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Labor were hitting the panicol arm yesterday afternoon,

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: firing off a press release. This is a crisis. We

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: need to up spending, read between the lines, borrow more.

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Bigger government will save the day, which is of course nuts,

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: premature and nuts. Barbara came on this show last night

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: and said Willis was sitting on her hands while basically

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: the world crumbled around her. Earlier in the week, Hipkins

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: said we needed to stand up to Trump a bit more.

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: How's that working out for China. The last thing we

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: need is self serving politicians or former politicians in the

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: form of Phil goth grand standing for their bash the

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: bully moment on television. This is the time for quiet diplomacy.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: It's time for your Winston's and your Rosemary Banks she's

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: our ambassador to Washington. Get them out there. The bigger

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: problem for Labor and the way that they've so far reacted,

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: is that it reminds us why we didn't like them

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: in the first place. When COVID hit, they doled out

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: the cash, couldn't get it out the door fast enough.

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: You know, stay home, save lives, do yoga. We'll pay

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: for your yoga mat grants spent from the country's purse

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: like a housewife on holiday. And Barb she wants her

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: time with the visa. Right when our government dead is

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: about to hit forty six percent of GDP, remember it

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: was twenty pre labor, Right when we're getting closer to

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: at least balancing the government books. This is a timely

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: reminder from Labor that their fundamentals haven't changed. When a

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: crisis comes, when the storm clouds gather, their go to

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: plan is to make it rain. Cash for more from
