The government is publishing council's 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: financial performance metrics. Guess who's not happy about that. Gavin 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 2: Gray's in the UK for US this morning. We've got 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: China factory activity numbers cooling and what happens when you 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: get a WASP nest at a nuclear weapons facility radioactive 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: wasp nest Apparently. I'll tell you all about that story 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 2: out of the States this morning too. It is seven 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: after five. 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: The agenda. 18 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: It is Friday, August the first. Canada has joined Rance 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: and the UK to announce plans to recognize the Palestinian 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: state and it could affit their trade deal with Trump 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: over an eighth President Trump posted on social media that 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: Cannada's support for Palestinian statehood would make it very hard 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: for the US to make a trade deal with Canada. 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: Now on trade with just under twenty four hours ago, 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says trade negotiations are not 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: likely to conclude by the deadline, but faces tariff of 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: thirty five percent if the deal is not strike. Mexico 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: has got a stay of execution a further than ninety 29 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: days to Kiev now and twelve people have been killed 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: in overnight strikes that brought down an apartment lock. 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: In all, when it's standard, about two dozen locations in 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: the Ukrainian capital have been hit, including hospitals and schools. 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: In all, the Ukrainian air forces that Russia sent more 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: than three hundred attack drones. 35 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: And this is a fascinating story out of America. The 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: oldest baby in the world has been born. This is 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: from an embryo that was frozen in nineteen ninety four 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 2: and Ohio couple adopted the thirty one year old frozen 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 2: embryo and have welcomed a baby boy. It's believed to 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: be the longest an embryo has been frozen before resulting 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: in a successful birth. The previous record was a pair 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: of twins born from embryos that were thirty years old. 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: News Talk said, be. 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: Yes, it has just gone eight minutes after five. I 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: find this story absolutely fascinating. So just a a little 46 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: bit of background for you. So it's, yeah, technically the 47 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: oldest embryo in the world nineteen ninety four. So couple 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: wants a baby, they have to adopt an embryo because 49 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: they can't conceive themselves. Enter Linda. Now Linda is a 50 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: biological mother of this baby. Linda is sixty two years 51 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: old and she's got her own kids. She's got kids 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: in her thirties. So thirty years ago, Linda and her 53 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: then husband, so biological mum, biological dad, they need to 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: go through IVF because they struggled to get pregnant, etc. 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: And then in nineteen ninety four they had four embryos. 56 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: One was used to make their daughter, who's now in 57 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: their thirties. The rest were frozen, So you've got three 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: frozen embryos. And then sometime in the intervening thirty years, 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: Linda gets divorced from the biological father. So she then 60 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: in the custody battle, she wins the embryos after divorcing 61 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: the husband, and then she learns about this embryo adoption situation. 62 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: So apparently what happens in America, if you want to 63 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: go for embryo adoption, you've got embryos that fertilized eggs 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: that you can hand over to someone. Then you can 65 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: decide what type of people will get that embryo, And 66 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: in this case, Linda decides she's got a preference for 67 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: the child to be adopted by a white Christian married couple, 68 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: which just so happens to be your Ohio, Lindsay and 69 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: Tim Pearce. They now have a new baby that's whose 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: embryo was three decades old. Isn't that fascinating anyway? That's 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: how they do in America. A lot more difficult to 72 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: do that sort of stuff here. You can imagine ten 73 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: minutes after five. So, yes, we are talking about Trump today, 74 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: and we are talking about his tariffs. He's got us 75 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: right where he wants us, looking at him and listening 76 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: to him and waiting on his every word. Apparently we 77 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: will get a letter sometime in the next twenty four hours, 78 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: so we'll keep you across that, and we'll have someone 79 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: out of the States for you just before six this morning. 80 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: Also NCA, I want to try to fill you in 81 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: on this new briefing because it's we know it's not great, 82 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 2: but the more you hear about it, the more you 83 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: kind of start to pull your hair out. And how 84 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: fair is it on the kids who are still doing 85 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: NCA right now doesn't seem very fair to me. We 86 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: will talk about that just after the news at five 87 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: point thirty. Right now it's eleven after and next it's 88 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: your local councils. Have you seen the government's print out 89 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: of their financial metrics? Well, Campbell Barry has and he's upset. 90 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: He's here next. 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 92 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: Branch and x Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and 93 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: dry this winter, News Talk said be. 94 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: Just gone thirteen minutes after five on news Talk said, 95 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: b So the tariffs for Mexico, they have managed to 96 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: shinebum the Mexican president. She's managed to get a stay 97 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: of execution another ninety days. So the ninety days will 98 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: be at twenty five percent, which is the current sort 99 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: of de facto rate that will continue for another ninety days, 100 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: and that will help them avoid a higher rate of 101 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: thirty percent, so they're actually only squibbling over squabbling over 102 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: five percent. But there you go. They are got a 103 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: little delay there and another three months they've been on 104 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: the blower together, these two, and you start to think, 105 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: I wondered some of the plan here, Like the strategy 106 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: is just to lurch from deadline to deadline, try and 107 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: push this thing out as far as it can go, 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: you know, try and wear Trump out a little bit, 109 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: or maybe Chilli, he's only got three and a half 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: years left in office. Maybe they'll just push it, push 111 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: it out as far as they can get it. The 112 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: problem is that just because the Democrats might get an 113 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: after Trump leaves, and you know, obviously there could be 114 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: another Republican candidate. But if just because the Democrats get in, 115 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that they will automatically cancel these teriffs. 116 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: Of course, because Biden didn't do that. For a lot 117 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: of what Trump brought in to do with China, Biden 118 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: didn't get on board with, Sorry, didn't cancel. So it 119 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: just because you change parties and presidents doesn't necessarily mean 120 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: that you change policies. Now, this is the story out 121 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: out of South Carolina. We're in America. This morning, quarter 122 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: past five, the US Department of Energy has discovered a 123 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: radioactive wasp nest. This is at one of their facilities 124 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: in South Carolina, involved in the production of parts for 125 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. Okay, so what you got is radioactive wasp 126 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: nest discovered at a nuclear waste storage facility, and obviously 127 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: everyone freaks out. They reckon, Actually, it's in the middle 128 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: of this massive facility and they can only go a 129 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: couple of hundred meters or something, so they're not going 130 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: to get out. Also, they reckon it was more than 131 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: nest than the actual wasps that were radioactive, so they're 132 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: not flying around, you know, stinging people and then sending 133 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: them radioactive too. But it's just fascinating the size of 134 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: this facility. They have twenty two underground carbon steel tanks here, 135 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: with each tank reportedly capable of holding two point eight 136 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: million to five million liters of radioactive waste. And the 137 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: twenty two of them just at this one site. Isn't 138 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: that fascinating. Savannah River is called built in the nearly 139 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: nineteen fifties and focused on the production of plutonium until 140 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: the end of the Cold War, and still there and 141 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: still going strong. Apparently enough to get the WASP nest involved. 142 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: Sixteen after five News Talks VB, we will talk about 143 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: those financial metrics for your councils in a few moments. 144 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: We will also just before six o'clock talk to a 145 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 2: guy out of the States. This is from the Federal 146 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: Tax Foundation about the deadline for Trump's trade tariffs. When 147 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: is it? Exactly? When will we find out our fate 148 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: and the rest of the world. 149 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: It's all ahead on your radio and online on iHeartRadio 150 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 4: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 4: Kiwi Holmes warm and dry. 152 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: This Winter News TALKSB. 153 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: Five nineteen on NEWSTALKSB Welcome back to the program. There 154 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: are concerns this morning about regulations of genetically modified fooddes 155 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: Minister for Food Safety Andrew Hoggart has quietly greenlit new 156 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: rules set by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand. The 157 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: changes have been genetically modified food without foreign DNA would 158 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: no longer need to be labeled as genetically modified in supermarkets. 159 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: John Karapia is gee Free New Zealand with us this morning. John, 160 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: Good morning, Hello. What's wrong with that? 161 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 5: Well, the main problem is that the deal in New 162 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 5: Zealand has always been that whether you can support GMOs 163 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 5: or don't support GMOs, there'd be a right to choose, 164 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: so there'll be disclosure in the supermarkets. And we haven't 165 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 5: actually had many GMOs in New Zealand. There's some imported, 166 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 5: many imported as processed oils and other ingredients, but nothing 167 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 5: in New Zealand has grown. That's g of gew That's 168 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: about to change potentially with the gen Technology Bill going 169 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 5: through Parliament separately. But what has had and yesterday or 170 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 5: a couple of days ago, is that after many years 171 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: of consulting with the public saying do you want do 172 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 5: you really want to know it's a GMO, the answer 173 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 5: was yes from the public submissions to the food authorities, 174 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 5: but they completely ignore the public. They said that labeling 175 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 5: was out of scope and there isn't going to be 176 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 5: any and that decision is based on as you said, 177 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 5: it's based on if there's no foreign DNA, it's been 178 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 5: ginge edited, but it's not going to be labeled. And 179 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 5: that's a furthe a scientific furfee, obviously in the interests 180 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 5: of industry, because the real reason why there's not been 181 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 5: many GMOs in the New Zeum and it's not because 182 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 5: they've been a ban, because there hasn't been a ban, 183 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: but really the market has said they don't want it, 184 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 5: both locally and globally. So to jack it up, to 185 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 5: jack up the market, to have like essentially set up 186 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: market failure by you're not going to have a choice, 187 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 5: that's really wrong. And that's why it's really bad that 188 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 5: the ministers signed this off with the Australian ministers to 189 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 5: say you're not going to have a. 190 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: Choice, John Food Standards Australia New Zealand. They say, actually, 191 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: this is going to provide more clarity for consumers, for 192 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: your customers that the definition change they're talking about is 193 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: focusing on the change that's been made rather than the 194 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: process used to make the change. 195 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 5: That's right, And as I say that for scientific and 196 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 5: consumer furthy, because consumers care about how things are made. 197 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: I mean, if you think about like a free range 198 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 5: often there's not a big difference in the product, but 199 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: the way the animal was run, the way it was raised, 200 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 5: is important for consumers. And so whether it's a safety 201 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 5: issue or not, and it is a safety issue, by 202 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 5: the way, and I'll explain that shortly, but whether it's 203 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 5: a safety issue or not. The risk should not be 204 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: transferred onto the consumer because they don't know it's GMO. 205 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 5: And to take away that labeling is really as it 206 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 5: completely overturns the social contract because the risk has always 207 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 5: been been left with the public. But the labeling and 208 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 5: the traceability and the testing of these products was like 209 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 5: the counter to that bill takes away chaseability. There is 210 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 5: no labeling and there's no pre testing. And that's where 211 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 5: the Achilles heel of the food safety comes in, right, 212 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 5: because if you don't check what you've done, it doesn't 213 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 5: have to have foreign DNA to have unexpected changes through 214 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: gene editing. And John's why the choy should be there. 215 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate you coming on the show. That bell 216 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: that you're talking about obviously hasn't been through yet, but 217 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: we were talking about changes that were announced yesterday by 218 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: Food Safety by the Andrew Hoggart, who's the Food Minister. 219 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: Just gone twenty three minutes after five year on News 220 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 2: Talk SIMB. 221 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: The Early Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 222 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: News Talks IB. 223 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: News Talks MB twenty five minutes after five Trump's got 224 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: us all right where he wants us this morning, guessing 225 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: what his next move is going to be this giant 226 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: game of tariff chest that no one else in the 227 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: world wanted to play, but we kind of forced to 228 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: play because there's a bigger kid on the block who's 229 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: threatening everybody else play with me. We don't want to, 230 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: but you have to. Sometime in the next twenty four hours, 231 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,599 Speaker 2: leaders from practically every country on Earth will get a 232 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: letter from the White House declaring what their tariff rate 233 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: will be. Behind the scenes, our diplomats are being told 234 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: that the base rate should stay at ten percent, which 235 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: is where it's sitting now. But as always, the final 236 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: decision maker is Donald J. Trump, and he's prone to 237 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: some pretty bold sudden one eighties, so it is possible 238 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: give him what he said the other day that we 239 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: could be hit today with a fifteen or even twenty 240 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: percent rate, and it means our wine and our meat, 241 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: everything we send in trade there gets more expensive. But 242 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: it is all relative, So as long as we get 243 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: the lowest possible rate, will be as worse off or 244 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: better off than other exporters that we compete with. For 245 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 2: a man customers, but it's still not great, and you 246 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: don't want to push the price too high, do you 247 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 2: should consumers avoid the product altogether. So far, thankfully, that 248 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: hasn't happened to us. In America. We've passed on the 249 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: tariff without dropping prices and without dropping volumes. But that 250 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: was at ten percent. Twenty percent could be a very 251 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: different story. So as the world awaits its fate, you 252 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: can't help it feel a bit mifted. America. I don't 253 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: know how you feel about this, but here we are 254 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: at the bottom of the Pacific, cutting ribbons on a 255 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: brain spanking new FBI office and playing secret squirrels at 256 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: the behest of Washington. And the very next day, how 257 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: do they repay us, our so called friends? A letter 258 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: in the mail whacking our exporters with basically a new tax. 259 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: Twenty seven minutes after five News Talk said b Now, 260 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: if you're just tuning in, we've been talking this morning 261 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: a little bit about the councils and their financial performance 262 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: or lack thereof. So the government's released all of these spreadsheets, 263 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: Which does that excite you? The government's giving you a spreadsheet? 264 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: Are you going to read it? I don't think anyone will. 265 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: But if you have it, go and have a look online, 266 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: because you can look up your council. And it's got 267 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: demographics for you accounts, So it's like a fact sheet 268 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: on how they're performing rates, revenue, It's got your debt, 269 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: it's got you know, debt net debt is a proportion 270 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: of revenue, your debt, headroom for the previous financial year, 271 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: You're operating expenditure. Have I got you excited yet? It's 272 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: got staff numbers, how many personnel they've got, how that's 273 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: changed over the last year. Capital expenditure, what exactly is 274 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: it going on? Wastewater, stormwater, all that sort of stuff. 275 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: So they released these fact sheets which someone presumably has 276 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: had to compile that would have cost money. That's a job. 277 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: Is it worth it? N nine two is the number 278 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: of text Is it worth it? Personally? I don't think 279 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: anyone's going to read them. I don't think anyone's going 280 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: to go ooh. I love First of all, I love 281 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: voting in a local election, and second of all, I 282 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: love a spreadsheet. Let's go. So anyway, we will continue 283 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: talking about that this morning. We get to our reporters 284 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: around the country after the news at five point thirty. 285 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: A quick little update for you too on China. This 286 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: is their factory, their latest pmis released yesterday and this 287 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: is for July not so great. Their factory sector contracting 288 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: at a faster rate and their services sector expansion has 289 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: all but basically disappeared evaporated because they were on a 290 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: bit of a roll. They were feeling pretty good and 291 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: doing pretty well. But that hot start to the year 292 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: seems to be dissipating somewhat slightly. Not the end of 293 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: the world, not disastrous, but certainly something to keep an 294 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: eye on. And we will talk after.

It sounds many people feel 339 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 7: they're personally benefited from the tourism industry and want to 340 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 7: see it thrive for the Orderland residents. I obviously see 341 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 7: a lot of tourism in that part of the country. 342 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 7: They have the most concerns about tourism, but they're also 343 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 7: seeing the most benefits. So the agency says, people clearly 344 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 7: want to see tourism done right, so that the right 345 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 7: approach to tourism. 346 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: All right. How's our weather? 347 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 7: A few showers in the morning, than clearing to find 348 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 7: in the afternoon a bit warmer today, ten degrees. 349 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: Brilliant Michael, Thank you, have a great day. Clears in 350 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 2: christ Church this morning. Clear get a good morning. I 351 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: saw Matt Doocy having a big winge about I'm assuming 352 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: this is the same TA two lane that you're going 353 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: to talk about in Canterbury. 354 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 5: Yeah. 355 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 8: Look, Matt Doocey's had a problem with T two lanes 356 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 8: for some time, but now he's got a real problem 357 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 8: with the one on the y Mucker Eddy Bridge. So 358 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 8: the transit lane there was added in twenty twenty. The 359 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 8: whole idea, as you can imagine, is to ease congestion 360 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 8: and encourage car pooling into public transport use, basically as 361 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 8: that North Canterbury area just continues to get bigger and busier. 362 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 8: But there have been concerns from local residents and Matt 363 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 8: Doocey about these T two lanes causing congestion as well 364 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 8: as frustration and even safety risks. MP Matt Doocey says 365 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 8: people fight to get on the bridge and then they 366 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 8: look over to the left only to see this free 367 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 8: lane sitting there that's not being used. They say, it's 368 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 8: not unlocking the potential of the bridge. He's now wanting 369 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 8: people to sign a petition. We've spoken with NZTA though, 370 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 8: who of course put the lane in place. They say 371 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 8: they're happy with how it's forming, but they will conduct 372 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 8: a comprehensive review of the effectiveness. 373 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So how can they be happy it's with how 374 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 2: it's working if they haven't conducted a comprehensive review of 375 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 2: its effectiveness, you know, and that's. 376 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 8: Since twenty twenty exactly. 377 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, all right. 378 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: How's your weather? Clear? 379 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 8: Partly cloudy, a few showers but should clear this afternoon, 380 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 8: south for westerlies and nine degrees. 381 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 2: Have a great day, Max and Wellington, Hey, Max, good 382 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: morning Wellington on applates kicking off?

Now you'd have to be some sort of 397 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 9: mister Creoso to even come close. There is a theme 398 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 9: this year. It's pretty lame and prosaic. Food is love 399 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 9: is the theme this year. So that's part of the 400 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 9: assignment for restaurants. Good to get out to a few 401 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 9: places this month.

This person has 418 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 10: pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Now I think people will remember 419 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 10: that Jonathan Walters died. This is after break failure caused 420 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 10: the over twenty ton truck to roll down Victoria Avenue. 421 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 10: This was in remu Era, a Shek transport director. This 422 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 10: is a Sheikh Ali.

The Herald also says at some point 428 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 10: the fifty five year old decided to switch registration plates 429 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 10: rather than stop using it. So he is going to 430 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 10: be sentenced in November. 431 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: Horrible, no, very bad, bad story.

Vincent's with 471 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: us now, Hi, Vincent, Ah, Yes, that's right. Donald Trump 472 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: has been in the UK today and after a meeting 473 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: with him where he warned him in advance, the British 474 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Kirs Starmer announced that unless Israel agrees to 475 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: a new ceasefire deal, the UK will look to recognize 476 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: Palestine as a state in the September at the sort 477 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: of unger meeting the UN in New York, when France 478 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: is likely to do the same. But lawyers here in 479 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: the UK have banded together, some of them and written 480 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: a statement saying currently under the treaty obligations that the 481 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: UK observes Palestine because of the fact it hasn't had elections, 482 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: that there isn't a recognizable government, that the border is disputed, 483 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: may not be able to be declared in an individual states. 484 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: So that is now hanging over that decision that he 485 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: has taken, a real change in British position about recognizing Palestine. 486 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: This is something France has debated for a long time 487 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: but hasn't quite been on the cards in Britain. What 488 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: about This is a first downing story about Conor McGrigor 489 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: and he's obviously the wannabe candidate for Irish president May fighter. 490 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 2: What's he doing in court? 491 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right to Connor McGregor, the former MMA fighter 492 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 12: has lost a civil jury appeal against the finding that 493 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 12: he sexually assaulted a woman back in twenty eighteen. So 494 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 12: in November he lost the initial case and he was 495 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 12: ordered to pay two hundred and six thousand pounds in 496 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 12: damages plus costs to Nikita Hand, who accused him of 497 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 12: raping her in a hotel in Dublin six years ago, 498 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 12: seven years ago now. So McGregor appealed on several grounds 499 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 12: about how his lawyers had handled it and about information 500 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 12: given to the jury about a police interview where he 501 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 12: said no comment around one hundred times to questions he 502 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 12: was asked. But that was all dismissed by the court 503 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 12: and so that charge stands on him. 504 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: Vincent, thank you for that. Vincent mecavi Any, a UK 505 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,120 Speaker 2: europe correspondent just gone twelve minutes away. 506 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: Six News Talk, said it's August the fir. 507 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: Yes, the deadline is here for Trump and his tariffs, 508 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: but the rest of the world and New Zealand will 509 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 2: be waiting probably another twenty four hours before we get 510 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: news from the White House and exactly what we will pay. 511 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: The White House has already shaken hands with a few 512 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: countries Japan, the EU, South Korea, Indonesia, the UK. They're 513 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 2: all getting lower rates, but others are not so lucky. 514 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: India you're looking at twenty five percent tariffs, Bangladesh thirty 515 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: five percent, Brazilla whopping fifty. Canada have said they're unlikely 516 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: to reach a deal before the deadline. Mexico Overnight has 517 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: been extended. Alex Deronte is a federal tax economist at 518 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: the Tax Foundation in the US and joins US now. Alex, 519 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. Nice to have you. 520 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 11: Here, Hi, thanks for having me. 521 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 2: When do we find out? When does the world find 522 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: out exactly what's going on and what that base rate 523 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: might be? 524 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 11: I think I think we're going to be staying up 525 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 11: late and waiting until until midnight to see what actually happens. 526 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 11: I mean over here as a tax foundation, it is 527 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 11: quite unsorry even for us on what rate some of 528 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 11: these countries are going to be facing. You know, right 529 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 11: now most countries are facing a ten percent a universal 530 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 11: baseline tariff that includes Australia and New Zealand. But the 531 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 11: President has indicated sort of over the past month that 532 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 11: he has interest, I think in moving that baseline tower 533 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 11: higher to somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent. So I 534 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 11: think altogether consumers and businesses should be bracing for higher 535 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 11: tariffs and higher prices for sure going forward. 536 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 2: Do you yet but higher than the team saint? Do 537 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: you think he will up that vice right. 538 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 11: Right now? I mean we're hearing as I said, this 539 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 11: is all specultave, of course, but you know, somewhere either 540 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 11: fifteen percent or twenty percent. If all of the reciprocal 541 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 11: tariffs go into effect tomorrow as scheduled, that would move 542 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 11: the average apply tariff rate to just go over twenty percent. 543 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: Which big countries, big trading patterners of Americas do you 544 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: think should be most concerned? 545 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 11: Well, so let's see here, So the President was he 546 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 11: had well, he is announced higher rates on Canada and Mexico. 547 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 11: Both of those countries are currently paying or other our 548 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 11: consumers who import those goods are paying a twenty five 549 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 11: percent tariff, and the cadther rate is scheduled to rise 550 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 11: by ten percentage points to thirty five percent tomorrow, and 551 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 11: the Mexico tariff was scheduled to rise to thirty percent, 552 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 11: but the President announced a ninety day pause on that 553 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 11: increase in that tariff rate. Kevin, I would also add 554 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 11: that we need to be concerned about the EU. The 555 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 11: President did announce that he would be imposing a fifteen 556 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 11: percent tariff on those imports as part of the of 557 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 11: the deal that is being currently negotiated right now. And 558 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 11: then finally, the highest of these paraff rates are the 559 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 11: rates that we're opposing on Chinese imports, which August twelfth 560 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 11: are scheduled to rise to one hundred and twenty five percent. 561 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 11: So really it's the EU, Mexico, Canada and China we should, 562 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 11: you know, continue to be watching house. 563 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: Americans are obviously watching this as closely as we are. 564 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: What are they thinking about the fact that he's going 565 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: to be potentially upping this and he's doing it to 566 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: friends and allies and it doesn't seem to matter. 567 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 11: Right Well, I mean, I think, as I said earlier, 568 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 11: you know, I think consumers have been so you know, 569 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 11: businesses have been somewhat fortunate so far, although you know, 570 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 11: we're although they're paying much higher tariffs than they did 571 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 11: last year. You know, the President did delay you know, 572 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 11: these reciprocal tariffs for for a few months, but unfortunately, 573 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 11: you know, it does seem that the President is dead 574 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 11: set on implementing a host of them tomorrow and that 575 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 11: is going to likely have significant impacts on prices over 576 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 11: over the coming month. 577 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 2: Alex, appreciate your time, Thanks so much for being with us. 578 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: That's Alex Deronte. He's the federal tax economist at the 579 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: Tax Foundation over in the United States, and so our gut, 580 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 2: the word from our officials over in Washington is that 581 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: that base ten percent will stay, but that Trump is 582 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: the ultimate decision maker and he can do what he wants. 583 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: And Alex is telling us there he's hearing it's going 584 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: to fifteen or twenty.
