4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: It'd be good morning.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: It is six half to five. Welcome to your Thursday morning.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 2: Great to have your company coming up on the program.

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: Before six. We've got a celebrating Republican. We've got a

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: polster on how this happened and who voted for who.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Mitch McCann is in Michigan for US today. Brad Olsen

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: on the market's crypto has gone crazy. The US dollars

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: shot up. Ours has come down in the stock exchange open.

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Obviously there'll be reaction from them. That's coming up shortly. Also,

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: we are hoping for Sir John Key for reaction in

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: the next couple of minutes. And the NCA exam that's

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: way too hard for students.

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: The agenda.

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, the seventh of November. Trump is back, Baby.

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm asking every citizen all across our land to join

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: me in this noble and righteous endeavor. That's what it is.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: It's time to put the divisions of the past four

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: years behind us. It's time to unite.

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: Still, no one has heard from Kamala Harris, although they

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: are expecting they might.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: We have not heard from the Vice president's campaign team yet.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: This morning, we have.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: Not heard from the Vice President's official.

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 5: Office team yet.

28
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: It's a big day for David Seymour today his Treaty Bill.

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: The exact wording of the bill will be revealed. A

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: draft was released in September, you'll remember that, but it

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: has been changed since then. It means two things. One

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: lux and will be here when it drops, because he's

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: going to be in Peru next week for APEX. But

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: crucially they've stolen some thunder from the protest that our

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: planned for next week, which will still happen, but now

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: obviously not on the day the bill drops. To the

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: Middle East. BENJAMINETTNYA who has fired as Defense Minister and

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: a member of his war cabinet.

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: Over the past few months, trust has cracked between me

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: and the Minister of Defense. Significant gaps were discovered between

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: me and Gallant and the management of the military campaign.

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: Our unemployment rates risen to four point eight percent, up

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: from four point six in the last quarter. It's the

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: highest since December twenty twenty, but not as bad as predicted.

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: And remember the Reserve Bank forecast five, so it could

46
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: put the big seventy five basis point rate cut off

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: the table later this month eight after five News Talks, AB.

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: News and Views You Trust to start your day is

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Billy Edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a flying Store. News Talks dB.

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, a pretty resounding victory for Donald Trump. Obviously the

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: votes have still been counted, but the first time since

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds that a president has made a non

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: consecutive return to the Oval office. Not just that, but

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: at the moment, winning the popular vote, flipping the Senate

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: likely to keep the House, and you got the keys

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: to the White House. John Key is, Sir John Keyes,

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: the former Prime Ministries with US is in San Francisco

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: at the moment, Sir John, Welcome to the show.

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 6: Lordy Ron, How are you very well?

61
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Thank you? What are you thinking about what happened last night?

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 6: Yeah? Look, I think there's a few things. I mean, versusly,

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 6: you've got to give Donald Trump some credit for what

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 6: has been a very comprehensive when they's pointed out, he's

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 6: really taking control of every part of government really from

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 6: Congress right through. I think secondly, I'm not as surprised.

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I know, from a New Zealand perspective and

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 6: from a lot of the media perspective, they couldn't understand

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 6: it and they couldn't see it. But you know, once

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 6: you've got polls indicating that, you know, two thirds or

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 6: if not more, of the country think you're going in

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: the wrong direction when the big issues are the issues

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: you're campaigning on. This in this case with Donald Trump,

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 6: they were the economy, you know, the border and law

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: and order. Then it changes very likely and then I

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 6: think the last bit of it, and it's a bit

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 6: I think everyone's really struggled to understand. And Donald Trump

78
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: really said that last night when he was talking, is

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 6: that this is a movement. And I think a lot

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 6: of us might feel uncomfortable of it. We might not

81
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 6: like it. There might be elements of it that we

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 6: just can't understand. But trufully, there is a movement happening

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 6: around the world. And I think you've seen it a

84
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 6: bit with Brexit. You've said, we've seen it with Donald

85
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 6: Trump and the grouping behind him, And you know, I

86
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 6: means say you can feel you know, all sorts of

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 6: emotions about that, but you can't deny that it's happening.

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: It also turns, does it not? The identity politics on

89
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: its head. But you've got a billionaire who's getting support

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: from the struggling middle class. You've got a Republican who's

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: getting union workers. You've got a white old man who's

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: getting an increased share of black and Latino voters.

93
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's what I mean. I think the question is, well,

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: what brings all of those groupings together? You know, what

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: are making those people say, you know, President Trump is

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 6: my president, He's the person I want to see in

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 6: the White House. How they totally together because they're very

98
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 6: disparate groups.

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 7: It's all of that.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 6: Well, that's right, fiercely one. They are doing it really tough.

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 6: I mean, it's easy to be on the West Coast

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 6: or the East coast and that's all left fland and great.

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 6: But actually out there in the middle of America and

104
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 6: rust belt America, those flyover states, people are striking from

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 6: paycheck to paycheck. And we can sit around talking about

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 6: globalizational as things. They just say, the system ain't fair,

107
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 6: it's broken, and it's left me behind. And I think

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 6: there's something weirdly in Donald Trump's personality. He is a

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: bit of a brawler, a bit of a fighter. He

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 6: kind of identifies with these people. And I'm saying someone earlier,

111
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a guy who gets shot in

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: the head. You can't fake this stuff. And he gets

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 6: up in the first reactions to say fight, fight fight.

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 6: No one else in the world does that, right, I

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 6: mean nothing, there's something in there about it. And I'm

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 6: not not idolizing. I'm just saying it's real that there's

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: a movement and.

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: There's nothing sanitized about him like there often is about

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: other politicians. What about the tariffs? This is our big

120
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: worry this morning. You've got exporters, the primary industries, waking

121
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: up in New Zealand thinking, oh god, we are about

122
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: to be hit by ten twenty percent. We don't know.

123
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: Plus you've got the trade war potential with China. How

124
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: worried should we be here?

125
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I don't think there's any doubt that Donald

126
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: Trump will deliver what he said, which is an America

127
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 6: First policy. On the other side of the Queen, the

128
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 6: positive news is we had long we have a long

129
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 6: seting relationship as historical allies, we're part of the Five

130
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: Eyes Agreement. We are seen as a sort of friendly country,

131
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 6: and I think there'll be good political relations between the

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 6: New Zealand government and the new administration. I think there

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: will be some tariffs and me he's talking about sixty

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 6: percent potentially in China and ten to twenty percent around

135
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: the rest of the world. But of course there has

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: some quite big repercussions, not only for us, but actually

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 6: for the consumers that pay that. So I wonder whether

138
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 6: that might be did a little bit actually, and then

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 6: the counterargment. All of it is as you can see

140
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: the stock market reaction. You know, the US economy for

141
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 6: at least for a period of time, is going to

142
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: be very stimulatory, and it is going to spend money,

143
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: it's going to invest, and the capital market's going to

144
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: be very vibrant. So you know, there is some downsides

145
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: for New Zealand. I'm not trying to sugar coat that.

146
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 6: And they do consume me because we need trade. But

147
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 6: I think I think it won't all be the won't

148
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 6: all be negative, the won't will be one way traffic.

149
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: What does Luxeon need to do right now to try

150
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: and get us in Trump's ear. Do you think that

151
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: we can use the primacy to get a special deal here,

152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: a special exception?

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 6: Well, I think it can help. I mean, as I said,

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 6: you know, we do have a very good relationship and

155
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 6: to a certain degree. You know, Donald Trump's been notorious

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 6: for being a deal doer. I mean, like, I think

157
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 6: they like New Zealand. We're a little country. A lot

158
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: of what they buy from us they need anyway. So yeah,

159
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 6: I'm not sure we're going to be hammered like like

160
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 6: you know, there'll be some other countries which would be

161
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 6: much more concerned and worried. I think the New Zealand

162
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: would be, so yeah, Look, I think the government's just

163
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: got to do with its job is ZOO, which is

164
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 6: to form the best relationship it can with any administration.

165
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: I mean, the people of New Zealand and the government

166
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: of New Zealand doesn't elect the president of Thesied States

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: of America, whoever that person is, but it's their job

168
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 6: to have the best relationship they can and you know,

169
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: who knows. We'll see how it all plays out.

181
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: has taken well, pretty much everything you could possibly want

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: from this election at this stage. Mitch McCann's a US

183

Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning, Ryan.

186
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: Well.

187
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 8: I spent last night in the last couple of hours

188
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 8: at the Democratic watch party here in Detroit, and I

189
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 8: can tell you he wasn't much of a party. The

190
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 8: music might have been playing, but there was no one

191
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 8: on the dance floor and people were leaving early. We

192
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 8: actually had to go outside to do some work because

193
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 8: they shut the event down and turned off the lights

194
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 8: because everyone was going home. Now as I've just come

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 8: on here, with you. I texted this morning a Republican

196
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 8: contact and named Brian Panabecker. He started a group called

197
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 8: Auto Workers for Trump twenty twenty four. A big Republican supporter.

198
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 8: He told me for a long now, in the last

199
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 8: couple of months that Donald Trump was going to win

200
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 8: easily in the state. I text him, how are you feeling, Brian,

201
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 8: and he just replied, as you came on the air

202
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 8: and said like a million bucks with five exclamation points.

203
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of happy Republicans here.

204
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: Are we going to hear from Carmela Harris? We are.

205
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 8: We're going to hear from her. It's reported around four

206
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 8: pm Eastern time, which find my estimations is around midday

207
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 8: in New Zealand. She's going to address a crowd, I

208
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 8: believe at Howard University where she had hoped to give

209
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 8: a victory speech last night. So we're going to hear

210
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 8: from her at midday. We haven't heard from Joe Biden yet.

211
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 8: He's yet to put out an official statement. We have

212
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 8: heard from George W. Bush, the forty third president, this morning,

213
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 8: who congratulated Donald Trump, but nothing from Harris and Biden

214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 8: just yet.

215
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: All right, We'll stand by midday. We're expecting Karmala Harris

216
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: to talk. That's Mitch mccannon, Detroit, Michigan, eighteen after five.

217
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: And on the other side of the world, this is interesting.

218
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: German carmakers. Their share prices have been slashed overnight and

219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: this is a direct result of the tariffs that Trump

220
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: is going to impose to try and save places like Michigan.

221
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: You've had BMW shares down seven percent, Mercedes Benz six percent,

222
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: Volkswagen and Porsche five percent. This because they are worried

223
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: about the tariffs that Trump will impose try and revive

224
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: his own manufacturing industries, and that is the biggest market

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: for those German auto makers. Those German car makers, America

226
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: is their biggest export market, so it will hurt. That's

227
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: why the share price has been affected. Nineteen after five.

228
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: More markets from Brad Olson.

229
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: Next, the first Word on the News of the Day

230
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

231
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a play store.

232
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: News Talk say, welcome to your Thursday morning. It's a

233
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: brave new world. Sir John Key has just told this

234
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: program that Trump's tarifs will hurt our primary producers. We've

235
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: got coming up after the news at five point thirty

236
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: Seawan Trender, who's a leading polster in the United States.

237
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: Right now, markets are reacting strongly. The Dow has surged,

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: Bitcoin going nuts, the US dollar is stronger. Brad Olson's

239
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: with us, Brad, how strong are these movements?

240
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 9: They are fairly considerable. I mean, if you look at

241
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 9: some of the stock market reactions that we've seen this

242
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 9: morning in the US, I think if they kept it

243
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 9: up and be on the Dow, for example, I think

244
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 9: the fifth biggest points movement in history. But to be fair,

245
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 9: they're not the biggest percentage shift, So I think really

246
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 9: what you're seeing is that, yes, there's definitely a strong

247
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 9: market reaction. There's probably still going to be some volatility

248
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 9: in the market as everyone tries to pick not only

249
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 9: today but over the next couple of weeks and up

250
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 9: until the twentieth of January when President elect Trump is

251
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 9: sworn in, what exactly is going to happen first, Because

252
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 9: this is I think a big challenge for everyone looking

253
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 9: at the economic ramifications of the change and president is

254
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 9: what of the many economic policies is he going to

255
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 9: pursue first? Is it going to be tax changes? Is

256
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 9: it going to be tariffs, Is it going to be deregulation,

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 9: Is it going to.

258
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: Be them all at once?

259
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 9: Because there are quite a lot of options on the

260
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 9: table where they do have very different impacts on quite

261
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 9: different parts of the economy.

262
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: If you're an investor right now in New Zealand looking

263
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: at the stock market, should you be paying too much

264
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 2: attention or is this going to fluctuate for the next

265
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: couple of months until we get certainty on those things.

266
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 9: I mean, I think it will fluctuate quite a bit

267
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 9: because of how all of these different trends are playing out,

268
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 9: and I expect Look, if you're a professional investor and

269
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 9: that's your job, then yeah, you'll be paying a lot

270
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 9: of attention to it. If you're an average key we

271
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 9: worried about your Kiwi saber, I don't know if i'd

272
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 9: be immediately reacting right this second.

273
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: In fact, i'd.

274
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 9: Probably again just be there's quite a few movements coming

275
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 9: through and if you've already taken the idea that you're

276
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 9: happy enough with a bit more risk in your investments,

277
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 9: then it's probably worthwhile sort of sticking around to that

278
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 9: and not making any rash decisions. What's also I think

279
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 9: been interesting in some of the trading this morning has

280
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 9: been just how different some of those different parts of

281
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 9: the economy have gone. So you've seen a number of

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 9: bank stocks and similar that have increased on the view

283
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 9: that there will be a bit more deregulation in the US.

284
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 9: A number of tech stocks as well that have seen

285
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 9: similar trends, but a number of ev makers as well

286
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 9: that have come back except for Tesla. So again, lots

287
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 9: of moving parts, lots of different elements, big questions as

288
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 9: well for the dollars.

289
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting you mentioned Tesla. I'll get to Elon Musk

290
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: in a few moments and just how much money he

291
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: made overnight. Brad Olson Informatric's chief executive and principal economists

292
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: with US twenty four minutes after five. If you're just

293
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: joining us, Donald Trump has won the White House. It's

294
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: not official yet, but most major networks in the United

295
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: States have called it. He's also flipped the Senate at

296
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: this stage retained control of the House. This is the

297
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: Republicans and is winning the popular vote. Everything has changed.

298
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by

Speaker 2: Twenty six after five year on news Talk said b

301
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: in the space of twelve hours, the whole world has changed.

302
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: Not only is Trump back, baby, but he's more powerful

303
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: than ever. Republicans have flipped the Senate and they're on

304
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: track to retain the House of Representatives. That gives them

305
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: a normal miss power to set budgets, start or stop

306
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: funding wars, and post tariffs on anyone they like. Basically

307
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: and KeyWe farmers and primary producers are exporters, the backbone

308
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: of this trading nation. Will be waking up this morning

309
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: with a pit in their stomach. America is our second

310
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: largest export market, overtook the Aussies last year. Tariffs on

311
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: our meat and dairy could be a brutal blow. Plus,

312
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: our number one trading partner in China is about to

313
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: be whacked even harder by Washington. Trump's Washington. A trade

314
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: war could wipe they reckon almost one percent of global

315
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: growth in the next year, and global growth is tipped

316
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: to be just three point five percent. That is massive

317
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: and it will send shot waves around the world and

318
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: we will feel it here. Add to that, Trump potentially

319
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: pulling support for Ukraine's war and as bullish comments on

320
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: the Middle East, and you've got yourself a highly unpredictable

321
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: and to use a couple of overused terms, unprecedented and

322
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: consequential set of variables. For all the handwringing pre election

323
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: that Trump was an existing threat to democracy, that very

324
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: system has elected him the forty seventh president of the

325
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: United States, serving his last term with more power than

326
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: he's ever had. This is Trump unleashed. Buckle up, brace yourselves.

327
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: Everything we knew yesterday about the global economy and global

328
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: conflicts is about to change, Bryan Bridge, twenty eight minutes

329
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: after five, you're on news talk s HEREB. We're going

330
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: to speak to a polster, one of America's leading polsters,

331
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: coming up inside the next half an hour. Also, we

332
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: are expecting to hear from Karmela Harris at midday to day,

333
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: so I'm sure you'll hear that on news Talk HEREB

334
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: later on. Lots more to come, including way an NCEA test,

335
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: an exam is too difficult for some students to pass.

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Twenty nine after five.

337
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 10: When you're not you win me.

338
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 11: I'm falling apart in full candle your faday morning. You're

339
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 11: breaking my Herbay.

340
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Dolesson, get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, You for

341
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New

342
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture Bids and applying store news talk sid be.

343
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: Good Morning New Zealand twenty four away from six Thursday

344
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: to seventh and November. Great to have your company. If

345
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: you thought trying to work out the electoral college system

346
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: last night was difficult, wait till you see the NCA exams.

347
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: There's a good story in the Herald this morning. Apparently

348
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: it's so hard students are crying in the exam and

349
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: you've got to feel sorry for them. So this is

350
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: what it says. The questions, particularly this is level two

351
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: maths in biology. The questions were poorly written, confusing and

352
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: not even connected to the part of the curriculum the

353
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: students were taught. And at this point you go, are

354
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: this can the students not read or can the teachers

355
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: not rite? I don't know what's worse, frankly, one probably

356
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: the cause and effect of the other. Anyway, So what

357
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: we're hearing now is that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority

358
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: is going to review this exam because it was so

359
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: distressing for students. And to be fair, you know these

360
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: students would have studied hard, I'm sure, and it was

361
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: the excellence questions, the ones, the very difficult questions that

362
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: were causing all of the problems. So anyway, they're going

363
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: to go away and have a look at that. Also overnight,

364
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has this is Trump's biggest billionaire buddy, his supporter,

365
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: the one that was giving away a million dollars a day. Well,

366
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: what a return on an investment he's got just in

367
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: the last twelve hours. He is while we slept thirteen

368
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: billion dollars richer because Tesla's year's jumped thirteen percent. That

369
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: thirteen billion represents his stake in the company. It's twenty

370
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 2: two away from six, Ryan Rich, We are going to

371
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: go to Marco Rubio's former chief of staff just before

372
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: six as well. What are they going to do? The

373
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: Republicans with all this new power right now? Though the

374
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: polls had a very tight race, we all know that.

375
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: So what exactly got Donald Trump and the Republicans over

376
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: the line? Sean Trendy is one of America's best known posters.

377
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: He's with Real Clear Politics. He's a senior election analyst

378
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: there and he's with me this morning. Seawan, Welcome to

379
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: the program. Where does this victory for Trump rank in

380
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: terms of.

381
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 7: History, it's almost unprecedented. We have one example in the

382
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 7: US of presidents winning non consecutive terms, so it was

383
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 7: Grover Cleveland. I'm sure you've heard of him back in

384
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 7: the late eighteen hundreds.

385
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: Other than that, presidents.

386
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 7: That lose or even canvas lose typically don't come back

387
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 7: and win another term.

388
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: The Republicans have also flipped the Senate. What's happening with

389
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: the House race?

390
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 7: The House is very close, it's surprisingly close, actually, and

391
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 7: it looks like Republicans will likely lose a couple seats there.

392
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 7: Even if they do manage to control the Chamber, that's

393
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 7: going to be a very, very big problem for them.

394
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 7: They had a tough time keeping the Chamber together with

395
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 7: the narrow majority they already have. Narrowing it even further

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 7: is going to be a nightmare to navigate.

397
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: What does that mean for the trifecta power of a

398
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: Republican white House Senate and albeit a weakened majority, but

399
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: a majority nonetheless in the House.

400
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 7: Well, the likely we have the trifecta, which means they

401
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 7: have at least nominal control. But remember here in the

402
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 7: US we have something in the Senate called the filibuster,

403
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 7: which means effectively, you need sixty votes in order to

404
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 7: keep to get anything done. That's going to almost certainly

405
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 7: put a question mark on anything Donald Trump wants to accomplish,

406
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 7: at least substantively.

407
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: In the States. What do we know about why people

408
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: voted for Donald Trump? The economy, cost of living, that's.

409
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 7: A big factor. I mean, different people will tell you

410
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 7: different things, and we're still digesting the returns. One of

411
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 7: the most interesting thing though, is that Trump won one

412
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 7: in four black men. Black voters have been a backbone

413
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 7: of the Democratic coalition since the nineteen thirties. So to

414
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 7: see Trump make those advances just that something's really amiss

415
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 7: in the Democratic coalition.

416
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is going to be quite a hurdle

417
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: for them to try and overcome, isn't it, Because they

418
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: haven't quite managed to get back those middle class white

419
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: voters in the Ross belt for example.

420
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 7: Either that's right, there's some real pressure points on the

421
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 7: Democratic coalition right now. And to have this result come

422
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 7: about with the candidate who has, you know, the plane

423
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: miss steps that Donald Trump has really really calls into question.

424
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: What could happen if the Republican Party were to nominate

425
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 7: someone with a similar platform but who didn't make some

426
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 7: of the same mistakes that Donald Trump consistently makes.

427
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: When it comes to Ukraine, Donald Trump has obviously been

428
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: talking about ending that war by Christmas. Do you think

429
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: that means he might pull support.

430
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 7: I think he'll certainly threaten it. And yeah, I think

431
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 7: his supporters have a real, real problem with the continued

432
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: money that's been flowing to Ukraine. I think there's gonna

433
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 7: be a lot of pressure on him to pull support,

434
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 7: and I'm going to be really surprised if he doesn't

435
00:22:59,200 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 7: do it.

436
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: What does it say about the state of the United

437
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: States when they elect a president who is a convicted felon,

438
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: who has threatened to go after the media, go after

439
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: quote left wing lunatics, and here he is now was

440
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: forty fifth now a forty seventh president.

441
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 12: Well, I do.

442
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 7: Think that a lot of the things that resonate with

443
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 7: some voters don't resonate with others. I think that the

444
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 7: I do think that the felony convictions were seen as

445
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 7: politically motivated, given that they did occur in our most

446
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 7: heavily democratic city. But you know, at the end of

447
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 7: the day, if you can give people, or at least

448
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 7: promise people, you know a good standard of living, they'll

449
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 7: put up with a lot of other things that might

450
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 7: strike a lot of other people. Is pretty horrifying.

451
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: Sean, thank you very much for your time. Really appreciate

452
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: your analysis. That Sean Trend the Real Clear Politics Senior

453
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: election Analyst. Thank you.

454
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge.

455
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: That's gone eighteen away from six year on News Talk CB.

456
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 2: Going to speak to Marco Rubio's former chief of staff

457
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: in just a few moments. Find out what they're going

458
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: to do with all that power. Also, you might have

459
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: noticed the leaders were well. The congratulations of Donald Trump

460
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 2: came in thick and fast yesterday and I was watching

461
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: trying to see who got in there first, because everyone

462
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: wants to cozy up and avoid a terror from this guy, right.

463
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: So Trudeau was in there pretty quickly and said that

464
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: the world is so envious of our relationship. Elbow got

465
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: in there before our Luxeon and Peters kirs Stamer also

466
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: giving his congratulations.

467
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 10: And I begin by congratulating present Elect Trump on his

468
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 10: historic election victory. As the closest of allies, the UK

469
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 10: and US will continue to work together to protect our

470
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 10: shadvalus of freedom and democracy.

471
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,000

475
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: News Talk Sidbye to six If you're just joining us,

476
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Over in the UK, the Guardian,

477
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: because the fake news media obviously came in for a

478
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: bit of a hammering on this campaign, So the Guardian

479
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: newspaper has already done an editorial saying we will stand

480
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: strong in the face of a Trump presidency. Also in

481
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 2: this editorial they've asked for donations to do so. Good

482
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: luck guys and Bridge rich right. It was a resounding victory.

483
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: Obviously still water to go under the bridge, but most

484
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: US networks now calling this for Donald Trump. And it's

485
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: not just the White House, it's flipping the Senate. It's

486
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: likely keeping the House as well. And the popular vote

487
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 2: and almighty comeback the first time since the eighteen hundreds

488
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: of presidents made a non consecutive return to the Oval office.

489
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: And Matt Terrell is Marco Rubio's former chief of staff

490
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: and managing partner at Firehouse Strategies. He's with us Live

491
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: this morning. Matt welcome to the show.

492
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 12: To be with you.

493
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, Thank you for being here. How

494
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: are you feeling. Did you expect it? Did you expect

495
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: so much from the selection?

496
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 12: Well? Certainly, I, like many people, saw some of the

497
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 12: trend lines go in his direction, for President Trump's direction,

498
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 12: whether it was the pulling the Betty markets, and furthermore,

499
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 12: you're seeing him pulling better on the key issues that

500
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 12: voters cared about, namely the economy, inflation, and border security.

501
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 12: He was pulling better than Vice President Harris and of

502
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 12: those issues. This election was about those issues by and large,

503
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 12: and it's the reason why he won this race.

504
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: What about What is he going to do with this power?

505
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: What does the Republican Party do with this power?

506
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 12: Well, I think he's been very clear throughout the campaign

507
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 12: what he intends to do, and I think, you know,

508
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 12: with control of the Senate and likely control maintaining the

509
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 12: House representatives, he have an ability to go in and

510
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 12: have a mandate, a political mandate to go in and

511
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 12: implement the policies he campaigned on. Whether that's on taxes

512
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 12: and tax reform, you know, whether that's on other key

513
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 12: policies that relate to the border and border security, among

514
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 12: other policies that he campaigned on. But look, the reality

515
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 12: is it's not just control of Congress that he will

516
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 12: likely continue to have with the House of Representatives and

517
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 12: control of the Senate, but also winning the popular vote.

518
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 12: And you know, it's one thing to win the electoral

519
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 12: college when you win the popular vote. And likely here

520
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 12: have both chambers of Congress. For certain he's won the Senate,

521
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 12: but likely we'll maintain control of the House here it

522
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 12: appears with Republican control there. The bottom line is that's

523
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 12: an ndate and that's going to allow him to go

524
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 12: in and implement the policies that he campaigned on, and

525
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 12: that appears the majority of Americans behind and the fact.

526
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: That he's managed to shift some black voters, some Latino

527
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: voters just shows you that the you know, pocket book

528
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: politics rules the Royce really doesn't. It's the economy.

529
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a big win for for a president Trumble. Look,

530
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 12: he did better across the board with respect to how

531
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 12: he performed in twenty twenty. You look at young voters,

532
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 12: black voters, Hispanic voters, non college eduvacated voters. He did

533
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 12: very well for Republican nominee for president. Among those key

534
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 12: voting blocks, and the reality is that helped him in

535
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 12: the key battleground states that he needed to win in

536
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 12: order to win this race. I think this is a

537
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 12: big win for President Trump certainly, like I said, he'sn't

538
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 12: have a political mandate here to go in and and

539
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 12: then both the policies that he campaigned on. But this

540
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 12: was a very big victory. And it was frankly big

541
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 12: to see just how well he did in comparison to

542
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 12: how he performed just four years ago, and where Vice

543
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 12: President here's underperformed with respect made these key voting blocks

544
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 12: and in comparison to a President Biden performed in twenty.

545
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: Twenty speaking all what happens to who?

546
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 7: Now?

547
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 12: Well, look they have between now and you know, January

548
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 12: to go in and continue to policies. You know, they'll

549
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 12: be government here until President Trump is sworn in in January.

550
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 12: But look, the bottom line here is the big thing

551
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 12: here is control of Congress as well, like I said,

552
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 12: And as you see that come into play here, you

553
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 12: know you're gonna have certainly a linked session here with

554
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 12: the current Congress and emotion and in place. But you

555
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 12: know the reality is January will be the key month

556
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 12: that's when you have a new Congress sworn in. Like

557
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 12: I said, control of the Senate is with Republicans, the Republics,

558
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 12: and now control of the White House. The real questions

559
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 12: about the House representative. But that appears to be going

560
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 12: in the Republican's direction right now. And then from there,

561
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 12: I suspect what you'll see is just my sense is

562
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 12: that President Trump recognizes that he has kind of a

563
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 12: second chance here. You know, you know, we all get

564
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 12: second chances in life, of course, but this is a

565
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 12: big second chance to be president once again. And with that,

566
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 12: I suspect he's not going to waste any time. And

567
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 12: then furthermore, the transition, you know, the presidential transition is

568
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 12: already underway. There are gonna be cabinet positions that he's

569
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 12: going to get have to get confirmed, putting in key

570
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 12: staff members. That's a big transition, but that's already underway

571
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 12: for the Trump Vans team.

572
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: Matt can gradulations for your party, and thank you very

573
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: much for your analysis this morning. I appreciate it. That's

574
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: Matt Matt Terrell. Who's Macho Rubio's form of chief of staff.

575
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: It's nine and why from six, Ryan Bridge, if you're

576
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: working up listening to this this morning, and you're a

577
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: prime producer, you're an exporter. Your big worry will be

578
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: the potential for a ten or twenty percent tariff on

579
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: all goods going into the United States. It's our second

580
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: largest export market. I spoke to Scott Brown last night,

581
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: he's the former American ambassador to New Zealand. He said,

582
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: don't worry. Not everyone is going to have to pay this,

583
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: but that is speculation. Earlier I spoke to Sir John Key,

584
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: our former Prime minister. He was with us from San Francisco,

585
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: and asked him how worried should we be about Trump's tariff.

586
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any doubt that Donald Trump will

587
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 6: deliver what he said, which is an America First policy.

588
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 6: On the other side of the Queenn the positive news

589
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 6: is we had long we have a long setting relationship

590
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 6: as historical allies, we're part of the Five Eyes Agreement.

591
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 6: We are seen as a sort of friendly country, and

592
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: I think there'll be good political relations between the New

593
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 6: Zealand government and the new administration. I think there will

594
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 6: be some tariffs, and he's talking about sixty percent potentially

595
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 6: in China and tens twenty percent around the rest of

596
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 6: the world. But of course there has some quite big repercussions,

597
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 6: not only for us, but actually for the consumers that

598
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 6: pay that.

599
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: So that was Sir John Key speaking to us live

600
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 2: from San Francisco in the United States. If you want

601
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: to hear the full interview from earlier in the program,

602
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: it is up online News Talk, said B dot Co

603
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: dot m Z eight to six on.

604
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan

605
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a

606
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: playing store.

607
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: News Talk zaid B. It is six away from six

608
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: News Talk, said B. Someone says, good morning Ryan and Mike,

609
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: and Mike is here. It's time to lure American medical

610
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: staff to New Zealand with a big relocation package. We

611
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: say every time this happens, Trump gets and people say

612
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: the move here. But it didn't really turn out last time.

613
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: Did it might? No, it doesn't.

614
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: There was a survey the other day that there has

615
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 4: never been more wealthy Americans looking to leave America, no

616
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 4: matter who won. So that vibe that America is not

617
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 4: quite what it was. But what a what a great day.

618
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: I mean as an exercise its fascinating democracy. And how

619
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: it unfolds, and how big it is and how diverse

620
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: America is, and the Trump story, the Harris Stoy I

621
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 4: still honestly can't answer you. I asked this yesterday. I

622
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 4: cannot answer you. What's the biggest story? Is it Trump

623
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: coming back? Or is it how Harris lost?

624
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: I mean, are you just coming back?

625
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 4: Go inside the Democratic Party and just go into that

626
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: bubble and do they have the wherewithal to analyze themselves

627
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 4: and to understand how they blew that well?

628
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is, you can't. I don't think

629
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: you can blame Kamala Harris. It's not her fault that

630
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: he lost his marbles and that he wouldn't go with

631
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: It's her fault.

632
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: She's vacuous, yes, And it's her fault that she didn't

633
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 4: have a policy. And it's her fault she didn't understand

634
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: the economy or immigration and tried to tell everyone it

635
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 4: was about abortion and turning the page so that you

636
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: could that's on her.

637
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: But you could argue that she didn't have much of

638
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: a runway to get that stuff together.

639
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: She didn't have that also, But equally that you go

640
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 4: back to the plan when you go Biden's the only

641
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: hope we've got to beat Trump. That worked, but then

642
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: they didn't think beyond that when Trump's too old and nutty,

643
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: who have we got all the women? We were pointed

644
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: because she's black and a woman, she'll be the one,

645
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 4: will she? They didn't think beyond that.

646
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: No, And the interesting thing about what happened yesterday is

647
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: it's just a big middle finger to identity, politics, wallet,

648
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 2: Trump's everything. That's the question.

649
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: Do they learn that lesson?

650
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: No?

651
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: Does Hollywood learn that lessons? Learn that lesson? Do any

652
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: of the lovies learn that lesson so that next time

653
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: they're more competitive or do they just go off? I

654
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 4: think they've been robbed.

655
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: Well, they didn't learn the lesson, because remember in twenty

656
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: sixteen when Hillary Clinton brought out and as did Joe

657
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Biden last time brought out all of Hollywood twin doors,

658
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: and everyone felt sick about it. And here they are again.

659
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: Was last night exactly the same as sixteen when that

660
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: guy came out and said she's not turning up to night.

661
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 4: That was just like two amazing.

662
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: Anyway, all of that more brilliant. Mike is with you next,
