But when I went 59 00:02:58,373 --> 00:03:00,533 Speaker 2: up to do the speech, I think I didn't do 60 00:03:00,693 --> 00:03:03,972 Speaker 2: the speech I wanted to do. And I think it 61 00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:06,773 Speaker 2: was primarily because we keep playing that that audio from 62 00:03:06,813 --> 00:03:10,293 Speaker 2: Ricky Gervais on this show, you know when he said, 63 00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:12,213 Speaker 2: you know, just thank your God and your agent and 64 00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,973 Speaker 2: get off stage. And so when I went on stage 65 00:03:14,972 --> 00:03:16,493 Speaker 2: because I played it on this radio show, I was 66 00:03:16,493 --> 00:03:18,773 Speaker 2: walking up going I got to be brief here and 67 00:03:18,813 --> 00:03:20,373 Speaker 2: then when I saw some of the other speeches that 68 00:03:20,413 --> 00:03:22,813 Speaker 2: seemed to go for about four to five days that 69 00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:26,013 Speaker 2: I realized I was maybe too believe brief, But anyway, 70 00:03:26,053 --> 00:03:28,253 Speaker 2: my point I wanted to make on stage. So I 71 00:03:28,293 --> 00:03:32,333 Speaker 2: won the prize for the Pino wa movement. Yes, which 72 00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:37,053 Speaker 2: is basically what happened. Was in April last year, the 73 00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:40,053 Speaker 2: Warriors had just smashed the Rabbitos thirty four to four, 74 00:03:40,613 --> 00:03:43,693 Speaker 2: and I celebrated with my friends and I just poured 75 00:03:43,733 --> 00:03:46,413 Speaker 2: a nice big glass of red wine and so a 76 00:03:46,413 --> 00:03:48,413 Speaker 2: friend took a picture of me drinking it, and then 77 00:03:48,693 --> 00:03:51,733 Speaker 2: I posted it just on a whim under the hashtag 78 00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:55,493 Speaker 2: hashtag up the pino Wars, which was it was taken 79 00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:58,853 Speaker 2: on board as a kind of a strange statement because 80 00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:02,133 Speaker 2: it was sort of mixing classy red wine with the 81 00:04:02,133 --> 00:04:04,653 Speaker 2: Warriors hadn't been done before. And it blew up and 82 00:04:04,693 --> 00:04:07,933 Speaker 2: it was on the news in New Zealand, and it 83 00:04:07,973 --> 00:04:11,173 Speaker 2: was all over the radio, and then it was and 84 00:04:11,573 --> 00:04:15,613 Speaker 2: it was it was over in Australia. I got interviewed 85 00:04:15,613 --> 00:04:16,653 Speaker 2: on Australian. 86 00:04:16,213 --> 00:04:19,373 Speaker 3: Television coverage for one post that you checked on Instagram. 87 00:04:19,453 --> 00:04:21,613 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then and then a couple of vineyards started 88 00:04:21,613 --> 00:04:25,573 Speaker 2: making Penois wine and sending it to me. And then 89 00:04:26,053 --> 00:04:29,773 Speaker 2: we drew against the Sea Eagles and and people started 90 00:04:29,773 --> 00:04:31,573 Speaker 2: talking about a curse, and I was like, oh, this 91 00:04:31,613 --> 00:04:33,493 Speaker 2: is interesting. And then we lost against the Dragons, and 92 00:04:33,533 --> 00:04:35,733 Speaker 2: then we lost against the Titans, and then we lost 93 00:04:35,733 --> 00:04:38,013 Speaker 2: against the Knights, and then we lost against the Roosters, 94 00:04:38,013 --> 00:04:41,493 Speaker 2: and I basically had to go into witness relocation because 95 00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:45,973 Speaker 2: what had become a pleasant little joke was now a 96 00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:48,013 Speaker 2: basically seen as a terrible curse. 97 00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:51,373 Speaker 3: How fast they turned on you start losing if you're 98 00:04:51,373 --> 00:04:52,013 Speaker 3: anything to do with it. 99 00:04:52,093 --> 00:04:55,093 Speaker 2: But there was a while there wherever I went, you know, 100 00:04:55,093 --> 00:04:56,693 Speaker 2: I would walk into a bar and they'd have red 101 00:04:56,693 --> 00:04:58,773 Speaker 2: wine waiting for me because because this is I was 102 00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:00,733 Speaker 2: the toast of the town. And then I was a 103 00:05:00,773 --> 00:05:03,453 Speaker 2: persona no grata. And then I thought that was that 104 00:05:03,773 --> 00:05:06,373 Speaker 2: that stage of my life had slept under the mat. 105 00:05:06,413 --> 00:05:08,453 Speaker 2: And then and then it got nominated for award, and 106 00:05:08,493 --> 00:05:10,453 Speaker 2: so it was nice to win the award and hold 107 00:05:10,533 --> 00:05:15,573 Speaker 2: up the trophy for that idea. And it's how it 108 00:05:15,573 --> 00:05:19,093 Speaker 2: played out on radio stations when the Warriors are doing 109 00:05:19,133 --> 00:05:21,093 Speaker 2: so well, you know, we've already got more wins the 110 00:05:21,093 --> 00:05:23,133 Speaker 2: season we did last season. Yeah, I've got nine wins 111 00:05:23,173 --> 00:05:25,333 Speaker 2: the season. So so that was great. But then so 112 00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:28,173 Speaker 2: I didn't get that story out and then I failed 113 00:05:28,173 --> 00:05:31,653 Speaker 2: to thank anyone that was, you know, at the great Radiohodachi. 114 00:05:31,853 --> 00:05:34,653 Speaker 2: I forgot to think my my co host, Jeremy Wells, yeah, 115 00:05:34,813 --> 00:05:37,333 Speaker 2: you know, various producers like mash and Ruder. 116 00:05:37,533 --> 00:05:40,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you did mention Jeremy, did I But 117 00:05:40,413 --> 00:05:41,333 Speaker 3: I think he was too good? 118 00:05:41,853 --> 00:05:44,293 Speaker 2: But I insulted him. Yeah, you insulted Jeremy instead of 119 00:05:44,373 --> 00:05:47,533 Speaker 2: instead of being magnanimous, I used the opportunity of the 120 00:05:47,533 --> 00:05:51,213 Speaker 2: stage to just insult him. You know. So, so I 121 00:05:51,293 --> 00:05:53,573 Speaker 2: think my my speech wasn't what I wanted it to be. 122 00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's good to get that out now. But 123 00:05:55,173 --> 00:05:56,813 Speaker 3: the one good thing about your speech matter is it 124 00:05:56,933 --> 00:06:00,653 Speaker 3: was short.

So this 176 00:08:13,773 --> 00:08:16,653 Speaker 3: was a Ministry of Education directive during the Labor government 177 00:08:16,693 --> 00:08:20,973 Speaker 3: to build these open plan classrooms when they were building 178 00:08:21,093 --> 00:08:24,653 Speaker 3: new schools and sometimes retro fitting as well. So Shirley Boys' 179 00:08:24,773 --> 00:08:27,253 Speaker 3: High School quite rightly has come out and said it's 180 00:08:27,253 --> 00:08:30,173 Speaker 3: a massive distraction. It is hard for the boys in 181 00:08:30,213 --> 00:08:34,093 Speaker 3: particular to learn when there are sixty two one of 182 00:08:34,133 --> 00:08:37,693 Speaker 3: these open planned classrooms. There's TVs going on, there's yelling, 183 00:08:38,013 --> 00:08:40,573 Speaker 3: it's impossible to try and learn. So they are reversing that. 184 00:08:40,732 --> 00:08:42,293 Speaker 3: So we want to talk to you. If your child 185 00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:44,693 Speaker 3: is in one of these open plan classrooms, how's it going? 186 00:08:44,813 --> 00:08:47,613 Speaker 2: Does anyone support these open plan classrooms? You know what 187 00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:49,372 Speaker 2: was the science before they did them, Because as soon 188 00:08:49,413 --> 00:08:52,453 Speaker 2: as they came in, people started complaining about them. Terrible 189 00:08:52,492 --> 00:08:56,013 Speaker 2: amount of racket, terribly confusing, and you know, teachers ended 190 00:08:56,093 --> 00:08:58,453 Speaker 2: up just spending way more time. You'd have three teachers 191 00:08:58,492 --> 00:09:01,333 Speaker 2: spending their time worth just the difficult kids across. I 192 00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,893 Speaker 2: mean my kids went to one that had three classrooms. Yeah, 193 00:09:03,892 --> 00:09:06,252 Speaker 2: it was a whole floor all together. It was an 194 00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:10,173 Speaker 2: absolute cluster. 195 00:09:11,293 --> 00:09:12,172 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it works. 196 00:09:12,213 --> 00:09:13,333 Speaker 2: Are they still building them. 197 00:09:13,492 --> 00:09:14,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, good question. 198 00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:16,132 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you had a choice, would you pay 199 00:09:16,213 --> 00:09:19,492 Speaker 2: to have your kids not be in this situation? Now, Look, teachers, 200 00:09:19,533 --> 00:09:21,932 Speaker 2: tell us why they are so punishing or if you 201 00:09:21,933 --> 00:09:23,453 Speaker 2: support them. We'd love to hear that, because I've just 202 00:09:23,533 --> 00:09:24,933 Speaker 2: never heard anyone say they were good. 203 00:09:25,012 --> 00:09:27,013 Speaker 3: Yeah that is after two o'clock. Looking forward to that. 204 00:09:27,173 --> 00:09:29,573 Speaker 3: But right now, let's have a chat about this. Open letters. 205 00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:33,132 Speaker 3: So the statement in the form of an open letter 206 00:09:33,293 --> 00:09:37,333 Speaker 3: to Prime Minister Christopher Luxen from former Labor Prime Minister 207 00:09:37,413 --> 00:09:40,773 Speaker 3: Sir Jeffrey Palmer and Helen Clark, National leader Don Brash, 208 00:09:40,852 --> 00:09:44,252 Speaker 3: the former Speaker Sir David Carter, a former Ambassador to China, 209 00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:47,813 Speaker 3: Carl Walker, a worker rather, and a businessman David Mahn. 210 00:09:48,093 --> 00:09:51,772 Speaker 3: It has been published as an advertisement in various newspapers 211 00:09:51,813 --> 00:09:55,573 Speaker 3: and expresses their grave concern about the current direction of 212 00:09:55,612 --> 00:09:59,732 Speaker 3: New Zealand's foreign policy with China. So Winston Peters has 213 00:09:59,773 --> 00:10:02,293 Speaker 3: responded to this open letter. He is the Foreign Minister, 214 00:10:02,372 --> 00:10:05,093 Speaker 3: of course, he said, I quote, I see no value 215 00:10:05,093 --> 00:10:08,172 Speaker 3: in indulging the tired arguments of various former politicians or 216 00:10:08,173 --> 00:10:12,653 Speaker 3: a officials who appear to be suffering from relevance deprivation. Syndrome. 217 00:10:12,693 --> 00:10:14,693 Speaker 3: That is a great turn of phrase. 218 00:10:14,653 --> 00:10:16,533 Speaker 2: Relevance deprivation syndrome. 219 00:10:16,653 --> 00:10:19,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, So a couple of questions. I mean, the first 220 00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:22,453 Speaker 3: one is Winston Peter's right. When the likes of Helling 221 00:10:22,492 --> 00:10:26,573 Speaker 3: Clark and Don Brash and Sir Jeffrey Palmer, and they 222 00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:30,013 Speaker 3: quite often come out and have quotes about many things 223 00:10:30,093 --> 00:10:34,253 Speaker 3: these days, how much relevance do we put on former 224 00:10:34,293 --> 00:10:37,213 Speaker 3: politicians when they sign these open letters? Are they so 225 00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:40,133 Speaker 3: far out of the game that they are just like 226 00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,372 Speaker 3: an ordinary citizen at that point? That's what they say 227 00:10:43,492 --> 00:10:45,493 Speaker 3: doesn't hold any more credence than anybody else. 228 00:10:45,653 --> 00:10:47,613 Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, of course they can say whatever 229 00:10:47,612 --> 00:10:51,653 Speaker 2: they want, absolutely, one hundred percent. Everyone everyone's saying supports 230 00:10:51,653 --> 00:10:56,012 Speaker 2: free speech, so go for your life, absolutely, But do 231 00:10:56,053 --> 00:10:58,813 Speaker 2: we care what these ex politicians have to say and 232 00:10:59,213 --> 00:11:01,612 Speaker 2: what they think? If they didn't fix things while they 233 00:11:01,653 --> 00:11:04,093 Speaker 2: were there, why do we hear what they think? Now? 234 00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:07,252 Speaker 2: You know? Is there sort of a beauty in doing 235 00:11:07,293 --> 00:11:09,533 Speaker 2: your bit and having your time in Parliament and then 236 00:11:09,612 --> 00:11:13,173 Speaker 2: leaving it to others like for example, Bill English And 237 00:11:13,573 --> 00:11:16,612 Speaker 2: are they just trying to protect their legacy, because that's 238 00:11:16,693 --> 00:11:21,413 Speaker 2: that's the suspicion, isn't it. The suspicion is that they say, 239 00:11:21,453 --> 00:11:24,293 Speaker 2: for example, the China situation, you go back to when 240 00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:28,492 Speaker 2: Helen Clarke was Prime Minister, instrumental and bringing China into 241 00:11:28,492 --> 00:11:32,292 Speaker 2: the World Trade Organization. Yeah, so she's got skin in 242 00:11:32,333 --> 00:11:35,292 Speaker 2: the game in that relationship with China, you know, so 243 00:11:36,053 --> 00:11:40,172 Speaker 2: you know, you might as they perceived biases, grudges, you know, 244 00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:43,293 Speaker 2: does it undermine the successes and not give them a 245 00:11:43,372 --> 00:11:44,973 Speaker 2: chance to forge their path? 246 00:11:45,892 --> 00:11:46,132 Speaker 7: You know? 247 00:11:46,333 --> 00:11:48,533 Speaker 2: Is it just a distraction seeing as they don't actually 248 00:11:48,533 --> 00:11:50,973 Speaker 2: have a say? So here we're hearing about these politicians 249 00:11:50,973 --> 00:11:54,453 Speaker 2: that have the manner because they were in power at 250 00:11:54,453 --> 00:11:56,813 Speaker 2: one point. They're not in power now and so it's 251 00:11:56,852 --> 00:11:59,772 Speaker 2: and they're not trying to be in power. So they 252 00:11:59,813 --> 00:12:02,853 Speaker 2: get they get a lot of attention. But but is 253 00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:05,293 Speaker 2: that undue because it's very easy to have that. You 254 00:12:05,293 --> 00:12:07,693 Speaker 2: know that the situation between China and the United States 255 00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:10,093 Speaker 2: and U Z is very, very complicated. We've got a 256 00:12:10,173 --> 00:12:13,052 Speaker 2: historical ally, and we've got our biggest trading partner and 257 00:12:13,093 --> 00:12:16,853 Speaker 2: our biggest trading partner and our really only formal ally 258 00:12:16,933 --> 00:12:20,973 Speaker 2: in the world apart from Australia, is hate each other. 259 00:12:21,333 --> 00:12:23,813 Speaker 2: And we're in the middle exactly. So it's very easy 260 00:12:23,852 --> 00:12:25,333 Speaker 2: to throw rocks from the side, isn't it. 261 00:12:25,293 --> 00:12:27,693 Speaker 3: Well, particularly when, as you say, you're a former prime 262 00:12:27,693 --> 00:12:32,053 Speaker 3: minister and you've made a diplomatic decision yourself when you're 263 00:12:32,053 --> 00:12:35,013 Speaker 3: in government and then times are very different in twenty 264 00:12:35,053 --> 00:12:37,333 Speaker 3: twenty five than they were in Helen Clark's days. But 265 00:12:37,413 --> 00:12:41,013 Speaker 3: to then say this government is taking the wrong direction, 266 00:12:41,573 --> 00:12:43,573 Speaker 3: I mean, do we really take relevance from that. She's 267 00:12:43,612 --> 00:12:47,413 Speaker 3: just disagreeing with with a new government what is doing 268 00:12:47,413 --> 00:12:48,653 Speaker 3: something different than her government? 269 00:12:48,693 --> 00:12:48,773 Speaker 2: Did? 270 00:12:48,852 --> 00:12:51,052 Speaker 3: So really keen to have your views on this one 271 00:12:51,053 --> 00:12:53,093 Speaker 3: O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. There's plenty of 272 00:12:53,132 --> 00:12:53,933 Speaker 3: texts coming through. 273 00:12:54,093 --> 00:12:56,172 Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, yeah, but give us ring one hundred and 274 00:12:56,173 --> 00:12:58,333 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. Do you think that they are what 275 00:12:58,333 --> 00:13:00,453 Speaker 2: they have to say is relevant at all to the 276 00:13:00,492 --> 00:13:01,293 Speaker 2: current situation? 277 00:13:01,492 --> 00:13:04,533 Speaker 3: Yep, it is eighteen past one. Let's get into it. 278 00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:08,933 Speaker 3: It's you listening to Matt and Tyler beck for surely the. 279 00:13:08,813 --> 00:13:12,733 Speaker 5: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything 280 00:13:12,773 --> 00:13:13,292 Speaker 5: in between. 281 00:13:13,492 --> 00:13:16,813 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks'd be. 282 00:13:17,973 --> 00:13:19,653 Speaker 3: For a good afternoon to you. It's twenty past one. 283 00:13:19,653 --> 00:13:22,372 Speaker 3: We're talking about an open letter that has been addressed 284 00:13:22,413 --> 00:13:24,813 Speaker 3: to the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. It's been signed by 285 00:13:24,892 --> 00:13:27,933 Speaker 3: former Labor Prime Minister Sir Jeffrey Palmer Halen Clark. It's 286 00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:31,093 Speaker 3: been signed by National Leader Don Brash, former National Leader, 287 00:13:31,093 --> 00:13:33,893 Speaker 3: I should say, the former Speaker Sir David Carter, and 288 00:13:34,372 --> 00:13:38,933 Speaker 3: some ambassadors and other officials. Its effectively says that our 289 00:13:38,973 --> 00:13:41,373 Speaker 3: diplomacy when it comes to China is going in the 290 00:13:41,413 --> 00:13:44,533 Speaker 3: wrong direction and they are consumed. But the question we've 291 00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:47,173 Speaker 3: asked is should we be listening to what they have 292 00:13:47,213 --> 00:13:50,213 Speaker 3: to say? Do they still have relevance as former politicians? 293 00:13:50,573 --> 00:13:52,893 Speaker 2: Yeah? And I said before that Bill English when he 294 00:13:52,973 --> 00:13:55,732 Speaker 2: left Parliament, we didn't hear much more from him again 295 00:13:56,093 --> 00:13:58,213 Speaker 2: in terms of public comments. But of course, as someone's 296 00:13:58,252 --> 00:14:01,652 Speaker 2: pointed out here, he did. He did. He was put 297 00:14:01,693 --> 00:14:04,453 Speaker 2: in charge of the independent Review of Kianga Order, Homes 298 00:14:04,453 --> 00:14:08,693 Speaker 2: and Communities, wasn't he in early twenty twenty four? But 299 00:14:08,852 --> 00:14:11,573 Speaker 2: is that a bit different to be tapped for your 300 00:14:11,653 --> 00:14:15,253 Speaker 2: expertise to look into something as opposed to getting together 301 00:14:15,333 --> 00:14:19,053 Speaker 2: an unsolicited opinion to me to try and change the 302 00:14:19,053 --> 00:14:21,453 Speaker 2: course of your country. It's a bit. 303 00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:23,733 Speaker 3: Different to me, absolutely, it's different if any of these 304 00:14:23,733 --> 00:14:26,373 Speaker 3: guys were tapped on the shoulder in an advisory role 305 00:14:26,613 --> 00:14:29,213 Speaker 3: for how we're going about our foreign diplomacy, then that 306 00:14:29,213 --> 00:14:31,533 Speaker 3: would be a completely different story because the government's bringing 307 00:14:31,533 --> 00:14:33,893 Speaker 3: them in, so of course their comments would matter and 308 00:14:33,893 --> 00:14:35,333 Speaker 3: that situation. 309 00:14:35,053 --> 00:14:36,773 Speaker 2: And you'd have to say that Helen Clarke has been 310 00:14:36,853 --> 00:14:39,093 Speaker 2: courting the media. She has been trying to get in 311 00:14:39,133 --> 00:14:41,532 Speaker 2: the media as much as she possibly can, commenting on 312 00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:46,173 Speaker 2: everything she possibly can, and boys recently in something I 313 00:14:46,213 --> 00:14:49,053 Speaker 2: saw her being interviewed, and you would have to come 314 00:14:49,093 --> 00:14:51,693 Speaker 2: out of that interview thinking that she is in some 315 00:14:51,773 --> 00:14:55,213 Speaker 2: kind of Internet bubble in what she believes. She seems 316 00:14:55,253 --> 00:15:00,093 Speaker 2: to have been distorted by a way of looking at 317 00:15:00,093 --> 00:15:04,013 Speaker 2: the world that isn't necessarily tied to reality. 318 00:15:04,093 --> 00:15:06,893 Speaker 3: There's quite controversial statements here for sure. Oh one hundred 319 00:15:06,893 --> 00:15:08,253 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty is the number of four? 320 00:15:08,573 --> 00:15:09,053 Speaker 2: Can I agree? 321 00:15:10,413 --> 00:15:10,613 Speaker 6: Yeah? 322 00:15:11,013 --> 00:15:16,093 Speaker 9: Tell how you going? Like Matt just reading this letter, 323 00:15:16,693 --> 00:15:19,933 Speaker 9: you know they're going on about things like, oh, you know, 324 00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:23,253 Speaker 9: upsetting the Chinese over Taiwan is just a big suck 325 00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:25,733 Speaker 9: up to the Chinese, and you know, my bears at 326 00:15:25,733 --> 00:15:29,493 Speaker 9: that regime. And three of the people Clark, Parma and brash. 327 00:15:29,653 --> 00:15:30,813 Speaker 9: Even Thor's on the right. 328 00:15:30,893 --> 00:15:32,333 Speaker 10: His father was a. 329 00:15:32,053 --> 00:15:36,133 Speaker 9: Preacher who has strong socialist views and Helen Clark will 330 00:15:36,173 --> 00:15:39,653 Speaker 9: you know he's strong socialist background, pro Chinese, the same 331 00:15:39,653 --> 00:15:43,413 Speaker 9: as Parma. I mean, you know, it's the Chinese sort 332 00:15:43,453 --> 00:15:46,573 Speaker 9: have changed their position in the last ten years or so. 333 00:15:46,693 --> 00:15:50,573 Speaker 9: They've become increasingly aggressive. The China bully countries. They're at 334 00:15:50,613 --> 00:15:52,853 Speaker 9: long aheads with people like the vietnam Ese, who were 335 00:15:52,893 --> 00:15:56,573 Speaker 9: former allies who would remind to kick their backsides in 336 00:15:56,613 --> 00:15:59,693 Speaker 9: that nineteen seventy nine war. They have and you know 337 00:15:59,933 --> 00:16:03,093 Speaker 9: they are Totalityian regime and they're not going to stop. 338 00:16:03,133 --> 00:16:05,133 Speaker 9: And we need to realize. I know we've got strong 339 00:16:05,213 --> 00:16:08,533 Speaker 9: trade lengths, but we need to widen our trade than 340 00:16:08,653 --> 00:16:11,933 Speaker 9: for other countries because of all our eggs in one basket, 341 00:16:11,973 --> 00:16:16,973 Speaker 9: which is very dangerous to have. And you know, you 342 00:16:17,013 --> 00:16:19,412 Speaker 9: look what they've done to the Tibetans, to the Hong 343 00:16:19,533 --> 00:16:21,853 Speaker 9: Kong people, and they want to have a crack at 344 00:16:21,893 --> 00:16:24,532 Speaker 9: the Taiwanese, and they will do at some stage. They're 345 00:16:24,573 --> 00:16:27,093 Speaker 9: going to come down here. I've always believed that in 346 00:16:27,133 --> 00:16:29,973 Speaker 9: the future they'll be knocking on odd or stick and 347 00:16:30,013 --> 00:16:32,253 Speaker 9: people will scoff and laugh at that, But that's what 348 00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:33,253 Speaker 9: I firmly believe. 349 00:16:33,813 --> 00:16:37,453 Speaker 2: Well, I'm ready between greg, I'm ready between the lines here. 350 00:16:37,493 --> 00:16:40,653 Speaker 2: But it seems to me that particularly Helen Clark is 351 00:16:40,693 --> 00:16:45,373 Speaker 2: a huge problem with America and particularly the Trump regime. 352 00:16:46,733 --> 00:16:50,893 Speaker 2: You know who's worse. Who is worse morally in your eyes, 353 00:16:51,213 --> 00:16:54,253 Speaker 2: at the United States of America or China? If we're 354 00:16:54,253 --> 00:16:57,773 Speaker 2: taking out trade, who has the moral high ground in 355 00:16:58,293 --> 00:16:59,413 Speaker 2: between those two countries? 356 00:17:01,093 --> 00:17:04,453 Speaker 9: The US They're not without fault. We all realize that 357 00:17:04,933 --> 00:17:07,532 Speaker 9: at times. I've wondered some of the people excuse me, 358 00:17:07,573 --> 00:17:11,052 Speaker 9: they support, but they're still in democracy. They still saved 359 00:17:11,093 --> 00:17:14,013 Speaker 9: our bacon. They's not forget that many years ago. They 360 00:17:14,013 --> 00:17:16,973 Speaker 9: are a democracy. For their faults.

When I say we, I mean our government. 432 00:20:41,413 --> 00:20:44,013 Speaker 3: And we'll read you a little bit of that letter shortly, 433 00:20:44,013 --> 00:20:45,853 Speaker 3: but there was a text you wanted to respond to. 434 00:20:45,973 --> 00:20:46,133 Speaker 8: Man. 435 00:20:46,173 --> 00:20:48,173 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, someone says, Matt, you are totally negative about 436 00:20:48,173 --> 00:20:50,853 Speaker 2: Helen Clark. You run her down weekly, sometimes daily, have 437 00:20:50,933 --> 00:20:52,453 Speaker 2: her on your show. She's a good person. I've met 438 00:20:52,453 --> 00:20:53,933 Speaker 2: Helen Clark a number of times. In fact, once in 439 00:20:53,973 --> 00:20:56,693 Speaker 2: an event, I spilt a glass of wine on her 440 00:20:56,973 --> 00:20:59,293 Speaker 2: feet and I was surprised that I wasn't attacked by 441 00:20:59,613 --> 00:21:02,653 Speaker 2: diplomatic services. And I have a lot of respect for 442 00:21:02,693 --> 00:21:05,573 Speaker 2: Helen Clark, but I live in near Eden Park and 443 00:21:05,813 --> 00:21:09,893 Speaker 2: her dishonest and in hypocritical way that she behaved around 444 00:21:10,013 --> 00:21:13,053 Speaker 2: how Eden Park wanted to do concerts just shock me. 445 00:21:13,613 --> 00:21:15,773 Speaker 2: It shocked me. It seemed to be the exact opposite 446 00:21:15,813 --> 00:21:18,893 Speaker 2: of what she had believed in the past. And then 447 00:21:18,973 --> 00:21:21,653 Speaker 2: since then I've been looking at her responses to things, 448 00:21:21,773 --> 00:21:23,853 Speaker 2: and she's not the Helen Clark that I thought was 449 00:21:23,893 --> 00:21:27,013 Speaker 2: a reason to good and solid prime minister back in 450 00:21:27,053 --> 00:21:28,733 Speaker 2: the day. She's not that person anymore. And if you 451 00:21:28,813 --> 00:21:33,693 Speaker 2: if you watch this, this interview with her on three now, 452 00:21:33,733 --> 00:21:34,973 Speaker 2: I believe you know what what was it on. 453 00:21:35,053 --> 00:21:37,773 Speaker 3: It was on It was Samantha Hayes. So yeah, if 454 00:21:37,773 --> 00:21:38,493 Speaker 3: you google it. 455 00:21:38,373 --> 00:21:41,333 Speaker 2: You be able to see that interview, and I think 456 00:21:41,413 --> 00:21:44,133 Speaker 2: you will be surprised that some of the conspiracy theories 457 00:21:44,173 --> 00:21:47,013 Speaker 2: that she she spouts out as if as if they're 458 00:21:47,013 --> 00:21:49,053 Speaker 2: the truth. And it makes me think that she's been 459 00:21:49,093 --> 00:21:52,133 Speaker 2: in a bubble. And if I was Helen Clark, I 460 00:21:52,213 --> 00:21:54,653 Speaker 2: might try and spend more time with different people and 461 00:21:55,413 --> 00:22:01,293 Speaker 2: maybe cleanse her algorithm, decase your computer, and maybe read 462 00:22:01,293 --> 00:22:03,253 Speaker 2: a couple of other things. That's good advice for a 463 00:22:03,293 --> 00:22:05,173 Speaker 2: lot of people. Things that she was saying have been 464 00:22:05,693 --> 00:22:07,253 Speaker 2: very very adequately debunked. 465 00:22:07,253 --> 00:22:08,813 Speaker 3: How did you spare one on her feet? 466 00:22:08,853 --> 00:22:10,573 Speaker 2: By the way, I was at the launch of a 467 00:22:11,813 --> 00:22:14,653 Speaker 2: New Zealand music initiative and I just went over to 468 00:22:14,653 --> 00:22:16,613 Speaker 2: say hello, because you know, I wanted to talk to 469 00:22:16,613 --> 00:22:18,853 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister.

Well, I got to say 473 00:22:28,613 --> 00:22:31,693 Speaker 2: she was very magnanimous about it. Yeah this is a 474 00:22:31,733 --> 00:22:34,093 Speaker 2: long long time ago. Yeah yeah, times changed now yeah 475 00:22:34,133 --> 00:22:37,253 Speaker 2: yeah at that point she you know, she didn't get 476 00:22:37,253 --> 00:22:37,973 Speaker 2: me shot or anything. 477 00:22:38,693 --> 00:22:38,812 Speaker 6: Right. 478 00:22:38,973 --> 00:22:40,973 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is a number to call. 479 00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:42,213 Speaker 3: I just want to read out a bit of this 480 00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:46,093 Speaker 3: letter here. So the joint letter singles out Winston Peters 481 00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,493 Speaker 3: for what it's his a statements he made which seek 482 00:22:48,573 --> 00:22:51,573 Speaker 3: to position New Zealand alongside the United States as an 483 00:22:51,653 --> 00:22:52,973 Speaker 3: adversary of China. 484 00:22:53,093 --> 00:22:53,453 Speaker 2: Right quote. 485 00:22:53,493 --> 00:22:55,973 Speaker 3: For example, since coming to office, your government has signed 486 00:22:55,973 --> 00:22:58,853 Speaker 3: New Zealand up to a number of strategic groupings, groupings 487 00:22:58,893 --> 00:23:01,373 Speaker 3: led by the United States.

Yeah, isn't it. You got Don Brash, You've 533 00:25:25,573 --> 00:25:29,532 Speaker 2: got Helen Clark, So you can't say it's, you know, 534 00:25:30,133 --> 00:25:31,893 Speaker 2: just a left wing thing or just a right wing thing. 535 00:25:32,133 --> 00:25:34,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, very true. And there's a few officials and former 536 00:25:34,373 --> 00:25:35,853 Speaker 3: ambassadors in there as well. 537 00:25:36,453 --> 00:25:38,893 Speaker 2: Lind says she knows what she's talking about. Uncle Winnie 538 00:25:38,933 --> 00:25:43,013 Speaker 2: needs to pull as hidden there you go, Hey, guys, 539 00:25:43,093 --> 00:25:45,293 Speaker 2: they have all had their day and we're all voted 540 00:25:45,333 --> 00:25:47,213 Speaker 2: out of parliament. I don't know why they feel that 541 00:25:47,253 --> 00:25:50,013 Speaker 2: their opinions are relevant. Personally, I'm sick to death appearing 542 00:25:50,013 --> 00:25:51,893 Speaker 2: from Helen Clark. I think she wished she could just 543 00:25:51,933 --> 00:25:55,213 Speaker 2: go I just wish she could go away. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, 544 00:25:55,813 --> 00:25:58,053 Speaker 2: keep those teas coming through. You get the gist of 545 00:25:58,093 --> 00:26:02,333 Speaker 2: that one. Yeah so, But but I mean a lot 546 00:26:02,333 --> 00:26:03,853 Speaker 2: of people are saying they should shut up people. No 547 00:26:03,893 --> 00:26:06,773 Speaker 2: one should shut up. I mean, it's free speech. They 548 00:26:06,813 --> 00:26:10,093 Speaker 2: can definitely have their opinion, and I guess some would 549 00:26:10,173 --> 00:26:12,173 Speaker 2: argue from the other side that we're not really getting 550 00:26:12,653 --> 00:26:15,853 Speaker 2: is that they have experience and insight that most of 551 00:26:15,933 --> 00:26:18,653 Speaker 2: us don't. More than I do, more than you do, Tyler, yeap, 552 00:26:18,773 --> 00:26:21,333 Speaker 2: more than most people texting. I mean, they have dealt 553 00:26:21,333 --> 00:26:24,413 Speaker 2: with China, and they have personally dealt with the United 554 00:26:24,453 --> 00:26:28,933 Speaker 2: States of America. They've been involved in these foreign policy decisions, 555 00:26:29,293 --> 00:26:30,893 Speaker 2: and look, maybe they've got it wrong at the time, 556 00:26:30,933 --> 00:26:32,893 Speaker 2: but sometimes people get things wrong and then they look 557 00:26:32,933 --> 00:26:35,693 Speaker 2: back and go, well, I've learned from that. 558 00:26:35,933 --> 00:26:38,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very true. But the question I've got is 559 00:26:38,493 --> 00:26:40,253 Speaker 3: how much weight should we put on what they've got 560 00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:43,572 Speaker 3: to say versus Winston Peters and Judith Collins who are 561 00:26:43,613 --> 00:26:47,333 Speaker 3: currently in government. They see the latest information at hand. 562 00:26:47,733 --> 00:26:50,733 Speaker 3: They see, you know, they get information that nobody else gets, 563 00:26:50,773 --> 00:26:54,293 Speaker 3: the secret information from our strategic partners about what's going on. 564 00:26:54,413 --> 00:26:56,493 Speaker 3: Should we put more weight on what they have to 565 00:26:56,493 --> 00:26:58,213 Speaker 3: say about the state of that part of the world. 566 00:26:58,253 --> 00:27:02,213 Speaker 2: Well, they rate themselves by writing the letter talking about 567 00:27:02,213 --> 00:27:05,253 Speaker 2: a hubris to it. Yeah, that our opinion is worth 568 00:27:05,293 --> 00:27:07,573 Speaker 2: more than other people's opinions and when we get together, 569 00:27:08,853 --> 00:27:11,133 Speaker 2: more powerful as a group and should be listened to 570 00:27:11,613 --> 00:27:13,133 Speaker 2: because of who we previously were. 571 00:27:13,253 --> 00:27:15,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty 572 00:27:15,693 --> 00:27:18,413 Speaker 3: is the number to call, Peter. You support what they've 573 00:27:18,453 --> 00:27:18,893 Speaker 3: got to say. 574 00:27:19,813 --> 00:27:24,253 Speaker 4: Well, and former Prime Minister called Keating disagrees with Australia 575 00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:27,653 Speaker 4: spending all this money on nuclear submarines. And then you 576 00:27:27,693 --> 00:27:31,933 Speaker 4: look at former Prime Minister John Keayr who desperately tried 577 00:27:31,973 --> 00:27:34,453 Speaker 4: to get a free trade deal with Russia and Prusion 578 00:27:34,573 --> 00:27:37,693 Speaker 4: wasn't interested, probably because we just saw he's probably saw 579 00:27:37,733 --> 00:27:41,493 Speaker 4: in New Zealand as a spy vessel for the USA. And 580 00:27:41,533 --> 00:27:44,853 Speaker 4: we're part of five Eyes, We're a target from five Eyes. 581 00:27:45,293 --> 00:27:49,973 Speaker 4: Point of view. We're also helping train people in Ukraine 582 00:27:50,173 --> 00:27:53,413 Speaker 4: and under the Official Information Act, I asked all about 583 00:27:53,493 --> 00:27:57,053 Speaker 4: you know, where is all this information that New Zeald's 584 00:27:57,053 --> 00:28:01,453 Speaker 4: supposed to have an independent foreign policy and those decisions 585 00:28:01,493 --> 00:28:04,893 Speaker 4: of supporting the US with respect to Ukraine and everything 586 00:28:04,893 --> 00:28:08,573 Speaker 4: else we do. Where is our independent foreign policy? It's 587 00:28:08,613 --> 00:28:13,133 Speaker 4: this lipstick on a pig, you know. Can I ask 588 00:28:13,173 --> 00:28:18,253 Speaker 4: you to guys now, as America says to remain with US, 589 00:28:18,253 --> 00:28:21,293 Speaker 4: in Australia says the same thing. You have to stop 590 00:28:21,413 --> 00:28:24,773 Speaker 4: trading with China. Are you going to do it? Yes 591 00:28:24,933 --> 00:28:26,773 Speaker 4: or no? To be a friend of America? 592 00:28:26,893 --> 00:28:30,292 Speaker 2: Well, I think I think Peter, you've cut straight to 593 00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,532 Speaker 2: the point, and that is the problem that we're in 594 00:28:32,613 --> 00:28:36,013 Speaker 2: right now. We're our biggest trading partner is China and 595 00:28:36,053 --> 00:28:39,813 Speaker 2: our only strategical ally is Australia in the US in 596 00:28:39,853 --> 00:28:44,013 Speaker 2: any kind of signed treaty. So yeah, I mean that 597 00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:46,813 Speaker 2: that is the crux of it. But equally, if we 598 00:28:47,373 --> 00:28:51,693 Speaker 2: distance ourselves from from the United States, are we all 599 00:28:51,733 --> 00:28:54,253 Speaker 2: in with China? I mean the question is is it 600 00:28:54,293 --> 00:28:57,053 Speaker 2: about economics or is it about your where you feel 601 00:28:57,053 --> 00:29:01,853 Speaker 2: that you're morale, morally, politically aligned. So Peter, I'd ask 602 00:29:01,933 --> 00:29:04,933 Speaker 2: you what would happen if we if we distance ourselves 603 00:29:04,933 --> 00:29:08,853 Speaker 2: from America, and then what looks increasingly lightly in the 604 00:29:08,893 --> 00:29:11,613 Speaker 2: next few years China invades Taiwan. 605 00:29:13,093 --> 00:29:16,613 Speaker 4: Well, China doesn't have to invade Taiwan because New Zealand 606 00:29:16,653 --> 00:29:22,693 Speaker 4: and American Australia recognize that China is Taiwan is part 607 00:29:22,733 --> 00:29:25,213 Speaker 4: of China, and they did that to trade it and 608 00:29:25,413 --> 00:29:29,093 Speaker 4: to have an agreement with China that was a non 609 00:29:29,213 --> 00:29:33,453 Speaker 4: negotiable item, and the Europeans and the British have all 610 00:29:33,533 --> 00:29:36,253 Speaker 4: signed up to that. So it's just saber rattling. 611 00:29:36,413 --> 00:29:36,773 Speaker 6: Really. 612 00:29:37,853 --> 00:29:39,493 Speaker 4: The thing about New Zealand if you look at US, 613 00:29:39,853 --> 00:29:42,613 Speaker 4: we borrow money from the US. The Federal Reserve creates 614 00:29:42,613 --> 00:29:45,853 Speaker 4: the money from nowhere. The Australians have about with their 615 00:29:45,893 --> 00:29:50,413 Speaker 4: banks about thirty ages ago, their profits came from New 616 00:29:50,493 --> 00:29:54,973 Speaker 4: Zealand for the publicly listed banks in Australia. So we're 617 00:29:55,013 --> 00:29:59,173 Speaker 4: borrowing money from both countries if you like, and we're 618 00:29:59,213 --> 00:30:02,333 Speaker 4: not looking after our own sovereigntory. And last time we 619 00:30:02,413 --> 00:30:05,733 Speaker 4: did that was when Michael Joseph Savage was the Primers 620 00:30:05,773 --> 00:30:08,093 Speaker 4: and used the reserve bag to create money to fund 621 00:30:08,093 --> 00:30:11,133 Speaker 4: STAF housing. Now we're just borrowing money. We want to 622 00:30:11,133 --> 00:30:15,173 Speaker 4: borrow more money to fund defense. At nine billion, it's 623 00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:18,053 Speaker 4: not going to make us safer. We're not saying anything 624 00:30:18,093 --> 00:30:23,893 Speaker 4: to the US enabling genocide with respect to supplying weapons 625 00:30:23,933 --> 00:30:27,053 Speaker 4: and funds to Israel, and America is supposed to have 626 00:30:27,133 --> 00:30:29,333 Speaker 4: our values. Are our values general? 627 00:30:29,453 --> 00:30:30,573 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we're going to. 628 00:30:31,773 --> 00:30:36,253 Speaker 2: But you could then list a whole lot worse from China, couldn't. 629 00:30:36,293 --> 00:30:38,933 Speaker 4: You will tell me one thing worse from China. 630 00:30:39,533 --> 00:30:42,253 Speaker 2: Well, the fact they're a dictatorship, the fact that that 631 00:30:42,493 --> 00:30:46,573 Speaker 2: there's no free speech in their country. 632 00:30:45,733 --> 00:30:48,493 Speaker 4: People, Yes, what about the killing people. 633 00:30:49,293 --> 00:30:52,973 Speaker 2: Populations they are? What about the and one of them 634 00:30:53,013 --> 00:30:55,093 Speaker 2: is not a democracy. There's no way, Peter, that you 635 00:30:55,133 --> 00:30:59,013 Speaker 2: could stand here and say that that China is morally 636 00:30:59,053 --> 00:31:02,933 Speaker 2: superior to the United States of America. You surely don't 637 00:31:02,933 --> 00:31:05,253 Speaker 2: believe that, do you, Peter, Well, well. 638 00:31:05,133 --> 00:31:09,133 Speaker 4: If you look at China and America, China, you know, 639 00:31:09,453 --> 00:31:13,453 Speaker 4: charges families for the bullet to kill people and organ 640 00:31:13,533 --> 00:31:18,413 Speaker 4: transplants and all that. In America, you had journalism like 641 00:31:19,693 --> 00:31:23,173 Speaker 4: the Australian during the start, who was locked up without 642 00:31:23,213 --> 00:31:26,293 Speaker 4: trial for many years just to say that America is 643 00:31:26,373 --> 00:31:30,173 Speaker 4: free speech. And then you've got the universities who can't 644 00:31:30,213 --> 00:31:33,133 Speaker 4: criticize Israel, and they're going to be you know, so 645 00:31:33,173 --> 00:31:34,613 Speaker 4: you can't say you've got free speech. 646 00:31:34,653 --> 00:31:37,053 Speaker 2: You've got you can definitely say one hundred percent that 647 00:31:37,053 --> 00:31:40,053 Speaker 2: you've got free speech in America. You absolutely have free 648 00:31:40,053 --> 00:31:42,413 Speaker 2: speech in America. That's one thing we have to agree. 649 00:31:42,453 --> 00:31:44,253 Speaker 2: And you look at the amount of abuse Trump gets. 650 00:31:44,253 --> 00:31:48,653 Speaker 2: Trump gets just unrelenting abuse from from the media social media. 651 00:31:49,773 --> 00:31:54,093 Speaker 2: Anyone can say anything. You cannot abuse Jijingping. You cannot. 652 00:31:54,093 --> 00:31:56,733 Speaker 2: You cannot even post a picture of poo beer because 653 00:31:57,653 --> 00:32:03,053 Speaker 2: he looks like Jijingping. So there's definitely free speech in America. 654 00:32:03,133 --> 00:32:05,253 Speaker 2: Is any There's more free speech in America than there 655 00:32:05,293 --> 00:32:06,373 Speaker 2: is anywhere else in the world. 656 00:32:06,653 --> 00:32:12,333 Speaker 4: Well, what why do social media people get the platformed 657 00:32:13,213 --> 00:32:16,453 Speaker 4: if it's free speech, and you know, search engines can 658 00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:19,013 Speaker 4: only show certain things, and you have to go to 659 00:32:19,093 --> 00:32:21,853 Speaker 4: the Russian search and engine, you know, yandex whatever to 660 00:32:21,853 --> 00:32:22,493 Speaker 4: get another. 661 00:32:22,493 --> 00:32:26,453 Speaker 2: Talk about Peter. If you're going to the Russian search engines, 662 00:32:26,493 --> 00:32:31,133 Speaker 2: then you're getting a heavily censored search engine. But the 663 00:32:32,173 --> 00:32:34,893 Speaker 2: I mean, it gets incredibly complicated with social media platforms 664 00:32:34,973 --> 00:32:39,493 Speaker 2: because they're private businesses, right, So that that becomes incredibly difficult. 665 00:32:39,533 --> 00:32:41,413 Speaker 2: But if you go on any social media right now 666 00:32:41,493 --> 00:32:43,533 Speaker 2: in the United States of America, you will find just 667 00:32:43,653 --> 00:32:49,053 Speaker 2: screeze and screeze and screeze of abuse of the current regime. 668 00:32:51,413 --> 00:32:51,973 Speaker 2: We've lost Peter. 669 00:32:52,253 --> 00:32:54,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, Peter, thank you very much for your call, and 670 00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:57,253 Speaker 3: he took it to the extremes there. But just to 671 00:32:57,573 --> 00:32:59,573 Speaker 3: bring it back, it is a tight rope that we 672 00:32:59,653 --> 00:33:01,853 Speaker 3: have to walk, as in New Zealand, right between the 673 00:33:01,893 --> 00:33:05,093 Speaker 3: relationship with China as our biggest export partner and our 674 00:33:05,133 --> 00:33:08,653 Speaker 3: strategic military partnerships with the likes of you West. The 675 00:33:08,773 --> 00:33:11,493 Speaker 3: argument that Judith Collins and Winston Peters would make is 676 00:33:11,533 --> 00:33:13,893 Speaker 3: that we move too far away on the other side 677 00:33:13,933 --> 00:33:18,293 Speaker 3: of that tightrope towards China and we started to lose 678 00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:22,533 Speaker 3: that strategic relationship military relationship with the United States, Canada, 679 00:33:22,613 --> 00:33:25,733 Speaker 3: Australia and the UK. So that is where the argument lies, 680 00:33:25,773 --> 00:33:27,893 Speaker 3: right is where in that type rope should we be 681 00:33:28,013 --> 00:33:31,373 Speaker 3: leaning to And then Helen Clark and Don Brash and 682 00:33:31,413 --> 00:33:33,693 Speaker 3: Sir Jeffrey Palmer thinks we need to go back to 683 00:33:33,773 --> 00:33:36,813 Speaker 3: cosey up to China. That's the crux of the argument. 684 00:33:37,213 --> 00:33:40,373 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and often when we have these discussions. We 685 00:33:40,373 --> 00:33:43,413 Speaker 2: think there's a right and a wrong answer. And you 686 00:33:43,453 --> 00:33:46,813 Speaker 2: know New Zealand currently needs to trade with China. Yeah, 687 00:33:46,853 --> 00:33:49,373 Speaker 2: you know we need them ex at the moment. It's 688 00:33:49,373 --> 00:33:52,733 Speaker 2: not a use or no answer, and that directly affects 689 00:33:53,093 --> 00:33:57,213 Speaker 2: how our citizens, the quality of our citizens' lives, our healthcare, 690 00:33:57,613 --> 00:34:00,173 Speaker 2: so many different things are affected by our trade with China. 691 00:34:00,573 --> 00:34:03,373 Speaker 2: Just so we've got some money coming into the economy, right, Yeah, 692 00:34:03,493 --> 00:34:06,373 Speaker 2: So that is an incredibly complicated trade off. And you're 693 00:34:06,373 --> 00:34:09,813 Speaker 2: exactly right, Tyler. It's how far we move towards China 694 00:34:09,933 --> 00:34:13,413 Speaker 2: and away from America, or towards America a historical ally 695 00:34:13,533 --> 00:34:19,373 Speaker 2: that has you know, democratic democratic institutions in the line 696 00:34:19,453 --> 00:34:21,813 Speaker 2: with ours, yeah, or how far we moved to a dictatorship, 697 00:34:21,813 --> 00:34:24,732 Speaker 2: communistic taorship. Yeah, it's complicated as a day one. Maybe 698 00:34:24,733 --> 00:34:28,333 Speaker 2: there's no true answer. I mean, it's almost certain that 699 00:34:28,373 --> 00:34:31,373 Speaker 2: there's no clean answer. 700 00:34:31,453 --> 00:34:32,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're keen on your views on it. Oh, 701 00:34:33,013 --> 00:34:35,653 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty It is fourteen to two. 702 00:34:36,613 --> 00:34:39,652 Speaker 1: A fresh take on Talkback. It's Matt Heath and Taylor 703 00:34:39,733 --> 00:34:43,413 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons. Have your say on eight hundred eighty ten 704 00:34:43,493 --> 00:34:44,653 Speaker 1: eighty US talks. 705 00:34:44,573 --> 00:34:47,533 Speaker 3: B Good afternoon. We're talking about this open letter that 706 00:34:47,573 --> 00:34:51,573 Speaker 3: has been signed by Helen Clark, Don Brash, the former Speaker, 707 00:34:51,653 --> 00:34:54,973 Speaker 3: Sir David Carter, among others, and it is stressed to 708 00:34:54,973 --> 00:34:57,413 Speaker 3: the Prime Minister. It does take aim at Winston Peters 709 00:34:57,453 --> 00:35:00,692 Speaker 3: as Foreign Minister. They believe we are moving too far 710 00:35:00,733 --> 00:35:03,333 Speaker 3: away from our relationship with China and they are worried 711 00:35:03,373 --> 00:35:05,253 Speaker 3: about our foreign policy direction. 712 00:35:05,933 --> 00:35:08,973 Speaker 2: So do we care what ex politician have to say? 713 00:35:09,013 --> 00:35:12,253 Speaker 2: Should we hold their opinions in high regard or do 714 00:35:12,333 --> 00:35:15,093 Speaker 2: we just think, look, you had you go and leave 715 00:35:15,133 --> 00:35:17,533 Speaker 2: it to the new people, because you know they've got 716 00:35:17,613 --> 00:35:21,212 Speaker 2: experience and insight, don't they Yes, because they've been there, 717 00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:23,533 Speaker 2: but they've also got bias and grudges. 718 00:35:23,933 --> 00:35:27,133 Speaker 3: Exactly one hundred and eighteen eighty number to call. 719 00:35:27,173 --> 00:35:30,013 Speaker 2: Gett Daniel, Yeah, geto boys. 720 00:35:30,053 --> 00:35:31,252 Speaker 14: How are we doing very good? 721 00:35:31,333 --> 00:35:32,253 Speaker 3: What's your thoughts? 722 00:35:33,373 --> 00:35:34,212 Speaker 15: So I just. 723 00:35:34,173 --> 00:35:36,373 Speaker 14: Wanted to bring it made after that last call. I 724 00:35:36,413 --> 00:35:38,773 Speaker 14: wanted to bring it right back to your original discussion, 725 00:35:38,813 --> 00:35:42,773 Speaker 14: which is the relevance that that these people have and 726 00:35:42,933 --> 00:35:46,293 Speaker 14: to me, as a three term prime minister in what 727 00:35:46,373 --> 00:35:50,253 Speaker 14: I would call a modern time. I gave Helen Clark 728 00:35:50,293 --> 00:35:52,773 Speaker 14: as much relevance as I was John Key, and I 729 00:35:52,813 --> 00:35:56,173 Speaker 14: think that they've been prime ministers in this country for 730 00:35:56,293 --> 00:35:59,413 Speaker 14: over a decade or for almost a decade, so I 731 00:35:59,413 --> 00:36:02,733 Speaker 14: think they have the right to make comments in regards 732 00:36:02,773 --> 00:36:08,533 Speaker 14: to to foreign policy and any issues they think. Well. 733 00:36:08,573 --> 00:36:10,253 Speaker 14: I think that the other thing that he has to 734 00:36:10,253 --> 00:36:13,613 Speaker 14: take into account is the only way they can get 735 00:36:13,653 --> 00:36:16,173 Speaker 14: there those comments out to the public is that chosen 736 00:36:16,213 --> 00:36:18,373 Speaker 14: an open letter. Whether that's the right vehicle or not. 737 00:36:18,853 --> 00:36:21,013 Speaker 14: The same thing as he was talking about Bill English 738 00:36:21,013 --> 00:36:23,733 Speaker 14: before I give fill English, you'd be right to comment 739 00:36:24,373 --> 00:36:27,493 Speaker 14: on our financial state. But he was only a one 740 00:36:27,533 --> 00:36:29,933 Speaker 14: term prime minister. I don't I feel as finance minister 741 00:36:29,973 --> 00:36:32,733 Speaker 14: he was. He did a fantastic job, but he doesn't 742 00:36:32,733 --> 00:36:35,413 Speaker 14: have the right to comment on the likes of China. 743 00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:38,172 Speaker 14: He was only a one term prime minister and didn't 744 00:36:38,213 --> 00:36:42,533 Speaker 14: have as much thing dealings with China where it all 745 00:36:42,573 --> 00:36:46,933 Speaker 14: goes wrong. As Winston's just taken this classic Trump sort 746 00:36:46,973 --> 00:36:51,573 Speaker 14: of role of just personality politics. I'm not even going 747 00:36:51,613 --> 00:36:54,053 Speaker 14: to discuss what they have said in an open letter. 748 00:36:54,213 --> 00:36:56,893 Speaker 14: I'm just going to say they're irrelevant, and I think 749 00:36:56,973 --> 00:37:00,533 Speaker 14: that that's to me, that's washing. We're just washing away 750 00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:04,652 Speaker 14: the content of the discussion, at least the last guy 751 00:37:04,693 --> 00:37:07,173 Speaker 14: and you guys got into the actual content, which is 752 00:37:07,693 --> 00:37:11,133 Speaker 14: what is our relationship with the stake who are very 753 00:37:11,173 --> 00:37:14,933 Speaker 14: different used to be what is our relationship with China? 754 00:37:15,373 --> 00:37:17,533 Speaker 14: And what do we want that to look like going forward? Well, 755 00:37:17,613 --> 00:37:21,493 Speaker 14: I'd say that's actually the crux of this latter and 756 00:37:22,293 --> 00:37:25,413 Speaker 14: to me, if you want to talk about relevant, Helen 757 00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:29,773 Speaker 14: Clark has got as much right the comments as we 758 00:37:29,853 --> 00:37:33,213 Speaker 14: turn to we turned to any we turn into an 759 00:37:33,213 --> 00:37:35,453 Speaker 14: ex all black to talk about how they how the 760 00:37:35,493 --> 00:37:36,253 Speaker 14: Blues are doing. 761 00:37:36,133 --> 00:37:37,453 Speaker 2: It that. 762 00:37:40,053 --> 00:37:42,573 Speaker 14: Mate, justin Marshall's got no right to comment. 763 00:37:42,373 --> 00:37:47,013 Speaker 16: On now sometimes I think that I just I just 764 00:37:47,013 --> 00:37:49,652 Speaker 16: feel like he's out of the game for twenty years 765 00:37:49,693 --> 00:37:52,253 Speaker 16: and he doesn't really have but in the workings. 766 00:37:52,293 --> 00:37:55,253 Speaker 14: But we still go to people in the in the 767 00:37:55,333 --> 00:37:57,493 Speaker 14: sector and we asked their advice. 768 00:37:57,293 --> 00:37:59,333 Speaker 2: Or were well, thank you so much, Daniel, and that's 769 00:37:59,533 --> 00:38:01,453 Speaker 2: thank you for bringing back to the very crux of 770 00:38:01,453 --> 00:38:04,573 Speaker 2: the question we're asking.

We are going to talk about 816 00:40:45,053 --> 00:40:49,693 Speaker 3: these modern learning environments, these open planned classrooms. Hopefully in 817 00:40:49,693 --> 00:40:52,813 Speaker 3: about twenty five minutes. Cheeryboys high at spending eight hundred 818 00:40:52,893 --> 00:40:56,173 Speaker 3: thousand dollars of their own money to change those open 819 00:40:56,213 --> 00:40:58,973 Speaker 3: plan classrooms because they say they're not working for their boys. 820 00:40:59,053 --> 00:41:01,413 Speaker 3: And a lot of school share that sentiment. But I 821 00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:04,973 Speaker 3: did say when we were talking about that particular topic 822 00:41:05,053 --> 00:41:06,893 Speaker 3: that it was instituted by Labor. 823 00:41:07,133 --> 00:41:07,853 Speaker 2: I was wrong. 824 00:41:07,973 --> 00:41:11,013 Speaker 3: It was instituted by Heikia Parata under the National government 825 00:41:11,293 --> 00:41:13,453 Speaker 3: in twenty ten after the christ At earthquakes. There was 826 00:41:13,453 --> 00:41:15,893 Speaker 3: a lot of schools to rebuild. But then the Labor Party, 827 00:41:15,933 --> 00:41:17,933 Speaker 3: who got an after the John Key government, carried it 828 00:41:17,973 --> 00:41:20,652 Speaker 3: on so quick correction there there was a few texts 829 00:41:20,693 --> 00:41:21,973 Speaker 3: on that. Yeah, so there it is. 830 00:41:22,133 --> 00:41:24,773 Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be a party issue, does it. No, exactly, 831 00:41:24,813 --> 00:41:28,893 Speaker 2: it's just our open plan schools classrooms a good idea 832 00:41:29,013 --> 00:41:30,813 Speaker 2: or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but thank you. It also 833 00:41:30,933 --> 00:41:32,573 Speaker 2: get your facts right Tyler, jeez. 834 00:41:32,413 --> 00:41:34,733 Speaker 3: Thank you to the Texas and there is your correction. 835 00:41:34,853 --> 00:41:37,693 Speaker 3: Right back to this discussion because it is a fascinating discussion. 836 00:41:37,733 --> 00:41:40,853 Speaker 3: The open letter has been signed, as I mentioned by 837 00:41:40,893 --> 00:41:44,333 Speaker 3: Helen Clark, Don Brash of Jeffrey Palmer, the former Speaker 838 00:41:44,373 --> 00:41:47,053 Speaker 3: of the House, Sir David Carter. They are worried about 839 00:41:47,093 --> 00:41:50,613 Speaker 3: foreign policy decisions made by this government they've taken particular 840 00:41:50,653 --> 00:41:53,973 Speaker 3: aim of Foreign Minister Winston Peters over some of these decisions. 841 00:41:53,973 --> 00:41:57,493 Speaker 3: Winston Peters, however, said, I quote, I see no value 842 00:41:57,613 --> 00:42:00,893 Speaker 3: in indulging the tight arguments of various former politicians or 843 00:42:00,933 --> 00:42:05,413 Speaker 3: officials who appeared to be suffering from relevance deprivation syndrome. 844 00:42:06,293 --> 00:42:08,813 Speaker 2: Well, you know, as it was called it was a 845 00:42:08,893 --> 00:42:11,533 Speaker 2: Daniel before pointed out he hasn't really addressed the issue directly, 846 00:42:11,533 --> 00:42:14,293 Speaker 2: there has he. But it's classic Winston Peter's get to 847 00:42:14,413 --> 00:42:16,253 Speaker 2: life laugh. But the question is do we care what 848 00:42:16,253 --> 00:42:19,213 Speaker 2: these ex politicians think? It does because they were in 849 00:42:19,213 --> 00:42:22,093 Speaker 2: these positions of power in the past, elevate their opinion 850 00:42:22,133 --> 00:42:24,093 Speaker 2: to a higher level than other people. I mean, they've 851 00:42:24,133 --> 00:42:27,733 Speaker 2: had experience and insight that you and I haven't, Tyler, 852 00:42:27,773 --> 00:42:31,293 Speaker 2: That is true, you know. But they'd also have perceived 853 00:42:31,293 --> 00:42:35,533 Speaker 2: biases and grudges, don't they They do, yeah, so, and 854 00:42:35,853 --> 00:42:39,373 Speaker 2: you know they had their charts yep. But what's interesting 855 00:42:39,373 --> 00:42:42,133 Speaker 2: about this letter is you've got Don Brash and Helen 856 00:42:42,173 --> 00:42:43,652 Speaker 2: Clarke coming together, and you'd have to say that they 857 00:42:43,653 --> 00:42:46,373 Speaker 2: wouldn't agree on a lot together, would they? No? Not? 858 00:42:46,373 --> 00:42:46,493 Speaker 8: Not? 859 00:42:46,533 --> 00:42:48,933 Speaker 3: Traditionally O one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 860 00:42:49,053 --> 00:42:51,573 Speaker 3: number to call. Love your thoughts on this. Plenty of 861 00:42:51,573 --> 00:42:53,533 Speaker 3: teachers coming through as well, which will get too shortly. 862 00:42:53,573 --> 00:42:56,893 Speaker 3: But Phil, you think we should consider the letter? 863 00:42:58,653 --> 00:43:02,253 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think so. Funny enough, I was going to 864 00:43:02,293 --> 00:43:07,893 Speaker 17: I'm in the process of writing to the Foreign Minister, 865 00:43:08,413 --> 00:43:10,212 Speaker 17: to the Prime Minister. Because I do all this sort 866 00:43:10,253 --> 00:43:13,013 Speaker 17: of stuff, I don't always get it. I don't always 867 00:43:13,013 --> 00:43:17,573 Speaker 17: get a good response because obviously they have their own 868 00:43:18,053 --> 00:43:19,093 Speaker 17: thoughts and ideas. 869 00:43:19,093 --> 00:43:23,773 Speaker 2: But at last, Fiel, you're participating actively in democracy, which 870 00:43:23,813 --> 00:43:24,732 Speaker 2: is what we like to see. 871 00:43:24,973 --> 00:43:28,893 Speaker 17: Well, I think we all should. I feel that, you know, 872 00:43:29,053 --> 00:43:31,772 Speaker 17: just going back to our previous election, if we'd had 873 00:43:31,773 --> 00:43:35,293 Speaker 17: an eighty percent turnout of people voting, wouldn't it have 874 00:43:35,373 --> 00:43:38,053 Speaker 17: been a better turnout sort of result? 875 00:43:38,653 --> 00:43:39,373 Speaker 6: Really? Surely? 876 00:43:39,773 --> 00:43:41,813 Speaker 2: Well, well, well, you know if that the higher the turnout, 877 00:43:41,853 --> 00:43:44,453 Speaker 2: then the you know, the less complaining people can do, 878 00:43:44,573 --> 00:43:47,732 Speaker 2: because you would argue that it's a stronger mandate. But yeah, 879 00:43:48,693 --> 00:43:51,053 Speaker 2: your thoughts on those thoughts onil? 880 00:43:52,053 --> 00:43:54,333 Speaker 17: Well, well, I knew the letter was coming up, and 881 00:43:54,373 --> 00:43:57,293 Speaker 17: then of course I saw it in today's paper. And 882 00:43:57,773 --> 00:44:03,212 Speaker 17: I do believe that my interest in what happens in 883 00:44:03,733 --> 00:44:08,732 Speaker 17: China is China's business. Now, I can assure you, from 884 00:44:08,773 --> 00:44:14,253 Speaker 17: my personal notation of all the stuff I read, whether 885 00:44:14,253 --> 00:44:17,693 Speaker 17: it's true or not true, that we are not not 886 00:44:18,293 --> 00:44:24,293 Speaker 17: no country, no country is going to change China's internal politics. 887 00:44:25,053 --> 00:44:29,212 Speaker 17: So we can say goodbye to telling them about their 888 00:44:30,093 --> 00:44:34,732 Speaker 17: bad dealings with their people, with the Tibetans and all that, 889 00:44:34,853 --> 00:44:39,933 Speaker 17: because they will not move from that. Historically, that is 890 00:44:40,013 --> 00:44:45,773 Speaker 17: the case, even before communism, China was ruled in a 891 00:44:45,853 --> 00:44:51,013 Speaker 17: way that is alien probably to Western world. So you 892 00:44:51,093 --> 00:44:55,013 Speaker 17: can say goodbye to trying to change their mind. You 893 00:44:55,053 --> 00:44:57,652 Speaker 17: can talk to them about it, but it won't make 894 00:44:57,773 --> 00:45:02,173 Speaker 17: an iota of difference in my opinion. However, since we 895 00:45:02,453 --> 00:45:08,853 Speaker 17: are very much involved with trade with China, I think 896 00:45:08,893 --> 00:45:12,493 Speaker 17: we should be a little bit more circumspect about the 897 00:45:12,573 --> 00:45:18,293 Speaker 17: fact that we are. Now we've seen in America mister 898 00:45:18,373 --> 00:45:23,053 Speaker 17: Trump has come up with his pencil board of tariff 899 00:45:23,893 --> 00:45:27,293 Speaker 17: and mister Trump is now backing down, but he's not 900 00:45:27,493 --> 00:45:31,693 Speaker 17: quite backing down. What he's doing. He's picking off each 901 00:45:31,893 --> 00:45:36,013 Speaker 17: country one by one to see what he can extract 902 00:45:36,133 --> 00:45:40,293 Speaker 17: out of us. And that's that's the problem. The other problem, 903 00:45:40,773 --> 00:45:44,093 Speaker 17: the other thing I feel is that we will never 904 00:45:44,213 --> 00:45:50,013 Speaker 17: we New Zealand will never get a free trade agreement 905 00:45:50,173 --> 00:45:53,293 Speaker 17: with the United States of America. I don't know how 906 00:45:53,333 --> 00:45:56,933 Speaker 17: Australia's managed it, but they have. I don't think you 907 00:45:57,053 --> 00:46:00,853 Speaker 17: will get us to get one because we are. 908 00:46:02,133 --> 00:46:04,733 Speaker 2: It doesn't have a free trade deal with the United States. 909 00:46:05,173 --> 00:46:07,333 Speaker 17: Oh well, it said so in the paper the other day. 910 00:46:07,373 --> 00:46:10,413 Speaker 17: I thought that they're. 911 00:46:10,053 --> 00:46:14,093 Speaker 2: Currently and currently being hit by tariffs like the rest 912 00:46:14,093 --> 00:46:14,533 Speaker 2: of us. 913 00:46:15,413 --> 00:46:18,813 Speaker 17: The same ten percent. But anyhow, I just feel that, 914 00:46:19,093 --> 00:46:21,973 Speaker 17: I mean, I buy like most people, I buy a 915 00:46:22,013 --> 00:46:25,613 Speaker 17: lot of goods that are made in China, and a 916 00:46:25,653 --> 00:46:27,853 Speaker 17: lot of rubbish comes out of China. I don't buy 917 00:46:27,893 --> 00:46:30,613 Speaker 17: the rubbish China stuff. I buy the good China stuff, 918 00:46:30,933 --> 00:46:34,733 Speaker 17: mostly clothing, and I find it very good. I wouldn't 919 00:46:34,773 --> 00:46:39,213 Speaker 17: be able to buy clothing from America because America can't 920 00:46:39,253 --> 00:46:44,773 Speaker 17: produce good quality clothing at the price that I could afford. 921 00:46:44,893 --> 00:46:47,453 Speaker 2: So, Peter, if we take if we take economics out 922 00:46:47,493 --> 00:46:50,333 Speaker 2: of the situation, so clearly we have a very successful 923 00:46:50,333 --> 00:46:53,733 Speaker 2: trading relationship with China, and I'm not sure if it's 924 00:46:53,733 --> 00:46:56,853 Speaker 2: still sitting there. But last Vegas, the United States past 925 00:46:56,893 --> 00:47:00,013 Speaker 2: Australia in terms of our trading partners, but we're much 926 00:47:00,013 --> 00:47:05,333 Speaker 2: bigger with China. So if we're in that situation, that's 927 00:47:05,653 --> 00:47:09,053 Speaker 2: that's one part of it. But then there is the 928 00:47:09,053 --> 00:47:12,773 Speaker 2: defense part of it, and that kind of alliance, and 929 00:47:12,813 --> 00:47:16,893 Speaker 2: that is really where this discussion sits. It's between the 930 00:47:17,013 --> 00:47:20,733 Speaker 2: trade and the and the and the defense part and 931 00:47:20,773 --> 00:47:24,613 Speaker 2: where allegiances lie in that regard and that and that 932 00:47:24,893 --> 00:47:27,693 Speaker 2: is the very difficult line, isn't it. Peter, So, I mean, Phil, Sorry, 933 00:47:27,733 --> 00:47:30,853 Speaker 2: So how far do you think we should move towards 934 00:47:31,053 --> 00:47:35,493 Speaker 2: China for the economic gains and away from America? I 935 00:47:35,493 --> 00:47:36,293 Speaker 2: guess is the question? 936 00:47:36,773 --> 00:47:41,293 Speaker 17: Well, I think we're already very much locked in economically 937 00:47:41,333 --> 00:47:44,733 Speaker 17: with them now. Whether we go any further or not, really, 938 00:47:45,613 --> 00:47:48,493 Speaker 17: I don't know how. You know, nobody could predict how 939 00:47:48,573 --> 00:47:52,253 Speaker 17: that how far we would be more reliant on them 940 00:47:52,293 --> 00:47:55,613 Speaker 17: that we already are. I do believe we are very 941 00:47:56,093 --> 00:47:58,813 Speaker 17: reliant on them buying our goods, and they like to 942 00:47:58,853 --> 00:48:02,293 Speaker 17: sell to us. When it comes to America. I know 943 00:48:02,413 --> 00:48:05,773 Speaker 17: that we do buy stuff from them, but if we 944 00:48:05,813 --> 00:48:09,893 Speaker 17: want to sell our primary produce to America, as you know, 945 00:48:10,173 --> 00:48:14,133 Speaker 17: it's pretty much we can sell stuff, but we can't 946 00:48:14,133 --> 00:48:19,933 Speaker 17: sell more. The farming lobby in America is extremely strong 947 00:48:20,493 --> 00:48:23,493 Speaker 17: and has been all the time that I've been taking 948 00:48:23,573 --> 00:48:27,013 Speaker 17: notice of it, and that's probably forty plus years. 949 00:48:27,813 --> 00:48:30,813 Speaker 2: So they well did it. But we did export nine 950 00:48:30,893 --> 00:48:34,773 Speaker 2: billion dollars worth of meat essentially, while some of it 951 00:48:34,813 --> 00:48:36,253 Speaker 2: was meat, but a lot of it was meat awful. 952 00:48:36,613 --> 00:48:38,453 Speaker 2: So we're getting into the market a lot with that 953 00:48:38,573 --> 00:48:40,933 Speaker 2: with their meat awful into the United States at the moment. 954 00:48:42,093 --> 00:48:46,652 Speaker 17: Yeah, I just feel that if we were wanting to 955 00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:52,093 Speaker 17: sell unlimited, I don't expect any country to take unlimited 956 00:48:53,173 --> 00:48:55,973 Speaker 17: primary produce from US. But if we wanted to double it, 957 00:48:56,253 --> 00:49:00,133 Speaker 17: that wouldn't I don't think that would happen because they 958 00:49:00,133 --> 00:49:04,733 Speaker 17: are very protectionists and there's more inside the United Staff. 959 00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:08,732 Speaker 17: We're always told that the United States is a free 960 00:49:08,773 --> 00:49:13,693 Speaker 17: and open society and it's a great place to do business. Well, 961 00:49:15,093 --> 00:49:17,973 Speaker 17: I've been looking at stuff in America, and it's not 962 00:49:18,333 --> 00:49:23,253 Speaker 17: within Internally in America, there's all sorts of things that 963 00:49:23,333 --> 00:49:26,733 Speaker 17: you cannot do to get your business cracking. I couldn't 964 00:49:26,773 --> 00:49:30,373 Speaker 17: believe it until I researched it and went, I wonder 965 00:49:30,373 --> 00:49:31,973 Speaker 17: if this is right. So I looked at it at 966 00:49:31,973 --> 00:49:38,333 Speaker 17: another angle. So even within their own country there's protection, 967 00:49:38,573 --> 00:49:43,613 Speaker 17: but from competitors in your same industry. Some states in 968 00:49:43,693 --> 00:49:49,533 Speaker 17: America have got protectionism against within their own state of 969 00:49:49,693 --> 00:49:54,613 Speaker 17: say three farmers wanting to enter the market, say with 970 00:49:54,813 --> 00:49:59,373 Speaker 17: a farmer's shop, and one of them was one of 971 00:49:59,413 --> 00:50:02,693 Speaker 17: them will be told, well, there's already two in the market, 972 00:50:02,893 --> 00:50:05,453 Speaker 17: and you could upset their profitability. 973 00:50:05,653 --> 00:50:08,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Phil, Thank you very much for your cool. 974 00:50:08,813 --> 00:50:11,973 Speaker 2: But a certain of information bias that we get because 975 00:50:11,973 --> 00:50:14,773 Speaker 2: we get absolutely every piece of information out of the 976 00:50:14,853 --> 00:50:19,413 Speaker 2: United States because it's free speeches in its constitution, So 977 00:50:19,493 --> 00:50:22,772 Speaker 2: you hear absolutely everything that's going on, every deal that's 978 00:50:22,813 --> 00:50:24,893 Speaker 2: going on. When something goes wrong, you hear about it. 979 00:50:24,893 --> 00:50:27,933 Speaker 2: Everyone talks about it on social media. That's what you 980 00:50:27,973 --> 00:50:30,973 Speaker 2: get from a free speech from a democracy. A lot 981 00:50:30,973 --> 00:50:34,173 Speaker 2: of corruptions happening in China, a lot of deals have 982 00:50:34,173 --> 00:50:36,773 Speaker 2: been done, a lot of stuff that would shock us. 983 00:50:36,933 --> 00:50:39,493 Speaker 2: We just don't know about it because there is no 984 00:50:39,493 --> 00:50:41,093 Speaker 2: free speech, so you just don't hear about it. So 985 00:50:41,533 --> 00:50:43,453 Speaker 2: a lot of people that are angry and complaining about 986 00:50:43,493 --> 00:50:45,973 Speaker 2: the United States of America. That is the function of 987 00:50:45,973 --> 00:50:49,893 Speaker 2: a democracy that you will hear all you'll see, all 988 00:50:49,933 --> 00:50:50,933 Speaker 2: the good and all the bad. 989 00:50:51,053 --> 00:50:53,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he mentioned there. I'll pick this up 990 00:50:53,053 --> 00:50:54,893 Speaker 3: after the break, but he mentioned there the idea of 991 00:50:54,933 --> 00:50:57,813 Speaker 3: soft diplomacy, and this was an element that Halen Clark 992 00:50:57,893 --> 00:51:00,573 Speaker 3: tilted during the free trade agreement.

It is seventeen past. 994 00:51:02,773 --> 00:51:08,333 Speaker 1: Two your home of afternoon talk Mad Heathen Tyler Adams 995 00:51:08,493 --> 00:51:12,212 Speaker 1: afternoons call eight hundred eighty ten eighty US talk ZIB. 996 00:51:14,013 --> 00:51:16,053 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon to you. We are talking about this 997 00:51:16,093 --> 00:51:19,213 Speaker 3: open letter that has been signed by Helen Clark, it 998 00:51:19,213 --> 00:51:21,573 Speaker 3: has been signed by Don Brash, and it's been signed 999 00:51:21,613 --> 00:51:25,292 Speaker 3: by Sir Jeffrey Palmer, among others that effectively take zame 1000 00:51:25,413 --> 00:51:28,293 Speaker 3: at our foreign policy, at the government's foreign policy decisions, 1001 00:51:28,453 --> 00:51:31,053 Speaker 3: Winston Peter's in particular. But they say that we are 1002 00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:34,853 Speaker 3: losing our relationship with China to our detriment? 1003 00:51:35,053 --> 00:51:37,853 Speaker 2: Do you agree? Eight hundred eighty ten eighty And if 1004 00:51:37,853 --> 00:51:41,013 Speaker 2: you textas pushing back on the previous caller, such as 1005 00:51:41,093 --> 00:51:44,453 Speaker 2: this text of being saying the US is our largest 1006 00:51:45,093 --> 00:51:47,813 Speaker 2: market for ground beef. Yeah, you know, we had berg 1007 00:51:47,933 --> 00:51:49,853 Speaker 2: exports to them with that in the in the Offel 1008 00:51:50,333 --> 00:51:53,732 Speaker 2: situation last year. So but I was, well, the question 1009 00:51:53,773 --> 00:51:56,493 Speaker 2: I was actually thinking about is if we could in 1010 00:51:56,533 --> 00:52:00,493 Speaker 2: the in the dream world, perfect world. Do people look 1011 00:52:00,533 --> 00:52:03,853 Speaker 2: at this? If we had the opportunity to only trade 1012 00:52:03,853 --> 00:52:07,413 Speaker 2: with democracies, would we take it? Because we are in 1013 00:52:07,413 --> 00:52:10,853 Speaker 2: this horrible position in New Zealand are too What was 1014 00:52:10,893 --> 00:52:13,772 Speaker 2: the saying that someone said before, you know, when elephants fight, 1015 00:52:13,893 --> 00:52:16,533 Speaker 2: might skit trample. Yeah, we're in that situation now where 1016 00:52:16,533 --> 00:52:19,813 Speaker 2: we have to trade with China and we need their 1017 00:52:19,813 --> 00:52:22,133 Speaker 2: money and we need their trade, but we don't necessarily 1018 00:52:22,173 --> 00:52:27,413 Speaker 2: like their politics. We've got America, we aligned with them historically, 1019 00:52:27,493 --> 00:52:31,013 Speaker 2: we're a democracy politically aligned more or less depending how 1020 00:52:31,053 --> 00:52:33,253 Speaker 2: you feel, but we don't trade with them as. 1021 00:52:33,253 --> 00:52:36,853 Speaker 3: Much diversify and that's a part of the India push 1022 00:52:36,933 --> 00:52:38,652 Speaker 3: to get a free trade agreement, right, is that we 1023 00:52:38,693 --> 00:52:42,013 Speaker 3: need more trading partners, and we need more free trading deals. 1024 00:52:43,133 --> 00:52:46,253 Speaker 3: And at the moment, China is our most lucrative one. 1025 00:52:46,293 --> 00:52:48,773 Speaker 3: So until we get some other deals across the line, 1026 00:52:48,933 --> 00:52:51,133 Speaker 3: we are in a real complicated situation. 1027 00:52:51,293 --> 00:52:52,253 Speaker 2: Glenn, your thoughts on this? 1028 00:52:53,293 --> 00:52:57,813 Speaker 18: Oh, look, gentlemen, this is a great topic, possibly the 1029 00:52:57,893 --> 00:53:02,573 Speaker 18: most important topic facing our country in my view. Okay, 1030 00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:06,773 Speaker 18: so I think for the future of our country, let's 1031 00:53:06,773 --> 00:53:10,733 Speaker 18: hope that Our current prime minister listens to this advice 1032 00:53:10,773 --> 00:53:16,853 Speaker 18: from these former leaders on his upcoming trip to Beijing. Look, 1033 00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:19,893 Speaker 18: two thousand and eight, we're the first country to have 1034 00:53:19,973 --> 00:53:23,613 Speaker 18: a free trade agreement with China. There's a lot of 1035 00:53:23,653 --> 00:53:26,133 Speaker 18: other people who said they're now our biggest trading partner 1036 00:53:26,173 --> 00:53:30,373 Speaker 18: by far, and it is it's a worry that whinst 1037 00:53:30,373 --> 00:53:33,933 Speaker 18: Peters is positioned in New Zealand alongside the United States 1038 00:53:34,053 --> 00:53:38,933 Speaker 18: is an adversary of China. Really, in my opinion, this 1039 00:53:39,053 --> 00:53:43,813 Speaker 18: is crazy. You know, if China gets annoyed with US 1040 00:53:43,853 --> 00:53:47,573 Speaker 18: and cancels our exports of dairy products, meat, forestry and fruit, 1041 00:53:47,933 --> 00:53:55,013 Speaker 18: this could have catastrophic consequences. Our exports are worth twenty billion, 1042 00:53:55,133 --> 00:53:56,653 Speaker 18: am I correct to China? 1043 00:53:56,893 --> 00:53:57,093 Speaker 6: Yep? 1044 00:53:57,973 --> 00:54:00,773 Speaker 2: And it was last year, yeah. 1045 00:54:00,373 --> 00:54:04,373 Speaker 18: Twenty twenty four. We also, as other people have said, 1046 00:54:04,533 --> 00:54:07,093 Speaker 18: or you've said, we also do export a lot to 1047 00:54:07,213 --> 00:54:08,813 Speaker 18: United States. Not forget that. 1048 00:54:10,613 --> 00:54:11,373 Speaker 6: But you know what. 1049 00:54:13,133 --> 00:54:16,813 Speaker 18: People took about democracy and you know, we've gone to 1050 00:54:16,933 --> 00:54:21,413 Speaker 18: war over decades for the freedom of democracy. But I 1051 00:54:21,733 --> 00:54:24,253 Speaker 18: wonder I've had a lot of good discussions with friends 1052 00:54:24,253 --> 00:54:28,573 Speaker 18: over coffee about this. Is it the most is it 1053 00:54:28,693 --> 00:54:32,093 Speaker 18: the best thing? The best? Is it always cracked up 1054 00:54:32,133 --> 00:54:33,733 Speaker 18: to me, is what I'm trying to say. Can I 1055 00:54:33,773 --> 00:54:38,652 Speaker 18: give an example, So the United States for eight years 1056 00:54:38,733 --> 00:54:41,613 Speaker 18: have been trying to build a bullet train between Los 1057 00:54:41,693 --> 00:54:47,373 Speaker 18: Angeles and San Francisco. They still haven't built this Shoka 1058 00:54:47,653 --> 00:54:52,613 Speaker 18: And in those eight years, China, being a one party state, 1059 00:54:53,213 --> 00:54:57,253 Speaker 18: have cracked on and have built thousands and thousands of 1060 00:54:57,333 --> 00:55:03,253 Speaker 18: kilometers of train, bullet trains criss crossing their country. You know, 1061 00:55:04,253 --> 00:55:07,133 Speaker 18: they get things done. I mean, you look at as 1062 00:55:07,133 --> 00:55:09,172 Speaker 18: an example here and you sell it. I'm getting off 1063 00:55:09,173 --> 00:55:11,933 Speaker 18: topics slightly, but they're going to build this rapid rail 1064 00:55:11,973 --> 00:55:14,613 Speaker 18: from the airport the CBD right, labor is going to 1065 00:55:14,613 --> 00:55:17,333 Speaker 18: do it. National gets in, they scrap it, and someone 1066 00:55:17,413 --> 00:55:19,933 Speaker 18: goes back and forth, back and forth. Nothing gets done. 1067 00:55:20,653 --> 00:55:23,732 Speaker 18: China would have had it built finished years ago. 1068 00:55:23,973 --> 00:55:26,692 Speaker 2: Yes, so this is a good point, Glenn, But you've 1069 00:55:26,733 --> 00:55:31,373 Speaker 2: just rung open. You've criticized the government. So you've had 1070 00:55:31,453 --> 00:55:34,453 Speaker 2: taken an opposing opinion to what the current government in 1071 00:55:34,493 --> 00:55:37,413 Speaker 2: New Zealand is doing under the system in China. Would 1072 00:55:37,413 --> 00:55:39,813 Speaker 2: you feel comfortable to do that? And is that something 1073 00:55:40,133 --> 00:55:42,253 Speaker 2: there was that something you'd be willing to give up 1074 00:55:42,253 --> 00:55:45,333 Speaker 2: the right to criticize your government for the returns you 1075 00:55:45,333 --> 00:55:47,293 Speaker 2: get an efficiency around infrastructure. 1076 00:55:49,493 --> 00:55:52,973 Speaker 18: Look, I think it is because the thing I think 1077 00:55:53,013 --> 00:55:55,613 Speaker 18: this govern has unreasonably well. But the worst and the most 1078 00:55:55,653 --> 00:55:59,293 Speaker 18: disastrous thing they've done is cracking are scrapping rather the 1079 00:55:59,413 --> 00:56:03,173 Speaker 18: cook straight ferries roll on. They're on order from Korea, 1080 00:56:03,893 --> 00:56:08,212 Speaker 18: purpose built. We needed them desperately and they scraped them. 1081 00:56:08,813 --> 00:56:12,173 Speaker 18: You know, there's so many things I quite like Winston Peters. 1082 00:56:12,213 --> 00:56:14,373 Speaker 18: I mean, I'm a super neuritan. He's the guy that 1083 00:56:14,773 --> 00:56:18,973 Speaker 18: got us the Gold card. So I don't dislike Winston's fair, 1084 00:56:19,093 --> 00:56:22,373 Speaker 18: you know what I mean, But I do think the 1085 00:56:22,413 --> 00:56:25,493 Speaker 18: way he's you say, look the way he's sucking up 1086 00:56:25,533 --> 00:56:27,893 Speaker 18: to Americans. The only people that have stood up to 1087 00:56:27,973 --> 00:56:33,053 Speaker 18: the Yanks are Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Might be wrong, 1088 00:56:33,093 --> 00:56:36,613 Speaker 18: it might be others, but a lot of the countries 1089 00:56:36,653 --> 00:56:39,573 Speaker 18: around the world, including us, we're all just bowing and scraping. 1090 00:56:39,613 --> 00:56:44,333 Speaker 18: And to Trump's you call him a dictator, for sure. 1091 00:56:44,453 --> 00:56:47,253 Speaker 2: He's definitely not. I mean, he's definitely not a dictator. Glenn. 1092 00:56:47,293 --> 00:56:50,053 Speaker 2: He was in the election, so he got more votes 1093 00:56:50,093 --> 00:56:52,693 Speaker 2: in the opposition and he'll be out in four years. 1094 00:56:52,973 --> 00:56:54,653 Speaker 2: I mean, there's absolutely no way. Trump is that you 1095 00:56:54,773 --> 00:56:57,493 Speaker 2: might not like Trump, but he's involved in a democratic 1096 00:56:57,533 --> 00:56:59,413 Speaker 2: process to the point where he's getting thwarted in a 1097 00:56:59,453 --> 00:57:02,093 Speaker 2: lot of what he wants to do. He's not a 1098 00:57:02,133 --> 00:57:05,293 Speaker 2: dictator like the Chinese Communist Communist Party is. He's not 1099 00:57:05,533 --> 00:57:09,173 Speaker 2: being able to get his own way, just blanket. And 1100 00:57:09,413 --> 00:57:11,413 Speaker 2: I think part of the problem is we only hear 1101 00:57:11,493 --> 00:57:14,613 Speaker 2: the positive stories out of China because they they control 1102 00:57:14,653 --> 00:57:17,773 Speaker 2: the message. But there's other analysis. And thank you so 1103 00:57:17,853 --> 00:57:19,453 Speaker 2: much for your call, Glenn. We've just got to go 1104 00:57:19,493 --> 00:57:22,253 Speaker 2: to an ad really appreciate man. But there's other analysis 1105 00:57:22,293 --> 00:57:25,333 Speaker 2: that you can look into China about the population collapse 1106 00:57:25,413 --> 00:57:28,693 Speaker 2: in China and a huge amount of problems in terms 1107 00:57:28,733 --> 00:57:33,693 Speaker 2: of their what what they're dealing now, timu profits having 1108 00:57:34,053 --> 00:57:36,373 Speaker 2: and such. There's there's a huge amount of problems in China. 1109 00:57:36,413 --> 00:57:37,973 Speaker 2: You don't really hear about as much. 1110 00:57:38,173 --> 00:57:40,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look to Glenn's point, and thank you very 1111 00:57:40,533 --> 00:57:42,173 Speaker 3: much for it for your call, Glenn. But he did 1112 00:57:42,213 --> 00:57:45,733 Speaker 3: say that China gets things done, and that is Glenn, 1113 00:57:45,733 --> 00:57:47,853 Speaker 3: I'm not being facetious here, but that is advocating for 1114 00:57:47,893 --> 00:57:53,173 Speaker 3: a dictator style operation. The dictators get things done. But 1115 00:57:53,173 --> 00:57:53,933 Speaker 3: but at what cost. 1116 00:57:54,093 --> 00:57:56,093 Speaker 2: Well, at the cost is you can't ring up new stills. 1117 00:57:56,093 --> 00:57:57,973 Speaker 2: He'd be and complain about the government without getting a 1118 00:57:58,013 --> 00:57:59,973 Speaker 2: knock on your door exactly twenty. 1119 00:57:59,653 --> 00:58:07,413 Speaker 1: Seven fast too, matd Heathen, Tyler Adams. Afternoons call Oh 1120 00:58:07,453 --> 00:58:10,213 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty on News Talk ZV. 1121 00:58:10,493 --> 00:58:13,973 Speaker 3: Good afternoon. We're talking about our relationship with China versus 1122 00:58:14,533 --> 00:58:19,013 Speaker 3: our relationship with US and other format allies in terms 1123 00:58:19,013 --> 00:58:22,573 Speaker 3: of a strategic partnership military partnership. It is based on 1124 00:58:22,613 --> 00:58:24,973 Speaker 3: an open letter that has been signed by Helen Clark, 1125 00:58:25,013 --> 00:58:28,133 Speaker 3: Don Brash, among others. It is addressed to our Prime Minister, 1126 00:58:28,213 --> 00:58:30,733 Speaker 3: and it says we have moved away from China at 1127 00:58:30,733 --> 00:58:31,533 Speaker 3: our own detriment. 1128 00:58:31,613 --> 00:58:31,853 Speaker 8: Do you know. 1129 00:58:31,893 --> 00:58:34,333 Speaker 2: I think it's really concerning, and I think why people 1130 00:58:35,413 --> 00:58:37,213 Speaker 2: get so angry about this is the text like this, 1131 00:58:37,333 --> 00:58:39,173 Speaker 2: Oh my god. If you don't think Trump is a dictator, 1132 00:58:39,213 --> 00:58:41,413 Speaker 2: I suggest you ask the majority of Americans that question. 1133 00:58:41,573 --> 00:58:44,213 Speaker 2: Just because he was elected democratically doesn't mean he's not 1134 00:58:44,253 --> 00:58:46,973 Speaker 2: a dictator. Now, once again, no logic in what you're saying. 1135 00:58:47,053 --> 00:58:50,613 Speaker 2: Give me one example of something dictatorial that he's done. 1136 00:58:50,933 --> 00:58:55,853 Speaker 2: He's not a dictator, you know, That's what it says. 1137 00:58:56,093 --> 00:59:00,053 Speaker 2: On certain social media to get you remaining on that 1138 00:59:00,133 --> 00:59:03,173 Speaker 2: social media. That's how the algorithms work. But there's no 1139 00:59:03,493 --> 00:59:06,053 Speaker 2: way you can say that that Trump is a dictator. 1140 00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:10,013 Speaker 2: It's just not true. They ran an election, you know. 1141 00:59:10,373 --> 00:59:13,293 Speaker 3: And he got voted in. On the other side said 1142 00:59:13,413 --> 00:59:17,373 Speaker 3: it is fair and open election and democracy, and it is. 1143 00:59:17,853 --> 00:59:19,853 Speaker 2: There's a Congress that can vote down his bills. 1144 00:59:20,493 --> 00:59:22,973 Speaker 3: There are disagreements in America, of course there is, but 1145 00:59:23,013 --> 00:59:24,933 Speaker 3: it is still a democracy. 1146 00:59:25,213 --> 00:59:29,813 Speaker 2: There are judges that are shutting down Trump's agenda that 1147 00:59:29,853 --> 00:59:33,773 Speaker 2: if this was China, those Trumps, those judges would disappear, 1148 00:59:34,933 --> 00:59:39,013 Speaker 2: you know exactly. You try running an opposition party in China. 1149 00:59:39,173 --> 00:59:39,973 Speaker 2: Let's see how you go. 1150 00:59:41,133 --> 00:59:43,613 Speaker 3: But it is it's this sort of language, you know, 1151 00:59:44,013 --> 00:59:46,773 Speaker 3: it's a dictatorship in the year where so it's getting 1152 00:59:46,773 --> 00:59:49,333 Speaker 3: back to nineteen thirty nine. It's it's sort of language 1153 00:59:49,373 --> 00:59:53,373 Speaker 3: that gets promoted on social media and it is just lunacy. 1154 00:59:53,573 --> 00:59:55,533 Speaker 2: And that's so much. That's why I was kind of 1155 00:59:55,533 --> 00:59:59,973 Speaker 2: horrified when I watched Helen Clark's interview with Samantha Hayes, 1156 01:00:00,333 --> 01:00:03,973 Speaker 2: where she was saying things that were so overtly untrue 1157 01:00:03,973 --> 01:00:05,893 Speaker 2: that it made me think, oh my God, they've even 1158 01:00:05,933 --> 01:00:09,093 Speaker 2: got to an ex Prime Minister of New Zealand. She 1159 01:00:09,333 --> 01:00:11,653 Speaker 2: has even been twisted by the algorithm to the point 1160 01:00:11,653 --> 01:00:16,933 Speaker 2: where she believed things that are just so clearly untrue. 1161 01:00:17,133 --> 01:00:19,133 Speaker 2: And look, Trump does that to him. He's a black hole. 1162 01:00:19,333 --> 01:00:22,453 Speaker 2: People spin around him. That twists them. Trump arrangement syndrome 1163 01:00:22,533 --> 01:00:25,933 Speaker 2: is a real thing. He warps people's minds to the 1164 01:00:25,973 --> 01:00:28,253 Speaker 2: point now that people will say that you're an idiot 1165 01:00:28,293 --> 01:00:30,933 Speaker 2: if you don't think he's a dictator. You don't have 1166 01:00:30,973 --> 01:00:32,733 Speaker 2: to agree with them, you don't have to like. The 1167 01:00:32,773 --> 01:00:35,213 Speaker 2: reason why you care about that, The reason why you 1168 01:00:35,253 --> 01:00:40,253 Speaker 2: care about it, Texter, is because social media is generated 1169 01:00:40,333 --> 01:00:45,733 Speaker 2: out of America, which practices the most robust free speech 1170 01:00:45,813 --> 01:00:49,333 Speaker 2: rules in the world thanks to their constitution.

The reason why 1174 01:00:58,133 --> 01:00:59,973 Speaker 2: you don't have the same amount of information coming out 1175 01:00:59,973 --> 01:01:02,093 Speaker 2: of China that for you to be angry about is 1176 01:01:02,133 --> 01:01:04,693 Speaker 2: because it's shut down because they're not a democracy. 1177 01:01:04,213 --> 01:01:07,053 Speaker 3: How nicely said headlines with ray Lean coming up, then 1178 01:01:07,053 --> 01:01:07,853 Speaker 3: we're going to carry this. 1179 01:01:07,853 --> 01:01:14,053 Speaker 13: On you talk, said the headlines with Blue Bubble taxis, 1180 01:01:14,173 --> 01:01:18,053 Speaker 13: It's no trouble with a blue bubble.

You're being 1208 01:02:56,333 --> 01:03:00,853 Speaker 2: played by people that gain from making you scared, and 1209 01:03:00,933 --> 01:03:03,013 Speaker 2: you are spending more time being scared than you need 1210 01:03:03,053 --> 01:03:06,573 Speaker 2: to be scared. Because America is still well and truly 1211 01:03:06,693 --> 01:03:11,613 Speaker 2: absolutely a democracy. It's propaganda, I mean democracy, it's not 1212 01:03:11,653 --> 01:03:14,013 Speaker 2: a pure democracy. Hey, guys, great chat. I think that 1213 01:03:14,053 --> 01:03:16,213 Speaker 2: Trump thing is he can't be a dictator, but he 1214 01:03:16,253 --> 01:03:18,013 Speaker 2: would love to be one. Well, that's a different issue. 1215 01:03:18,813 --> 01:03:20,533 Speaker 2: That could be true. Yeah, I mean, and you don't 1216 01:03:20,533 --> 01:03:21,853 Speaker 2: have to be a fan of Trump to say that 1217 01:03:21,893 --> 01:03:26,293 Speaker 2: he's not a dictator. He's objectively not a dictator, whereas 1218 01:03:26,533 --> 01:03:31,453 Speaker 2: China is objectively a one party country, whatever you think 1219 01:03:31,453 --> 01:03:32,293 Speaker 2: about anything else. 1220 01:03:32,493 --> 01:03:35,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, good to clear that one up, Paul, how are 1221 01:03:35,293 --> 01:03:36,693 Speaker 3: you not too bad? 1222 01:03:36,773 --> 01:03:40,133 Speaker 4: Lets look quick quick one for you. This open letter 1223 01:03:40,933 --> 01:03:46,213 Speaker 4: we've got yep, wouldn't make a difference if those people 1224 01:03:46,213 --> 01:03:47,813 Speaker 4: that have got the names at the bottom of that 1225 01:03:47,893 --> 01:03:51,613 Speaker 4: letter would say, receive one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 1226 01:03:51,693 --> 01:03:54,213 Speaker 4: for their John hancoffs on the bottom of that document. 1227 01:03:55,213 --> 01:03:58,133 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I suppose it depends on who's who's writing 1228 01:03:58,133 --> 01:03:58,533 Speaker 3: that check. 1229 01:03:58,613 --> 01:04:01,493 Speaker 2: So this is just a thought experiment. 1230 01:04:02,493 --> 01:04:05,893 Speaker 4: Well not really. No, you're talking about Sergiffrey Palmer. There's 1231 01:04:06,093 --> 01:04:09,093 Speaker 4: Chin and Tarma. That's the number one lobbyist you know 1232 01:04:09,733 --> 01:04:11,893 Speaker 4: in the country. Right, You're talking about people that have 1233 01:04:12,013 --> 01:04:16,373 Speaker 4: had previous leap unfitted access to the back doors of government. 1234 01:04:16,533 --> 01:04:16,733 Speaker 6: Right. 1235 01:04:17,093 --> 01:04:20,253 Speaker 4: These are people that put their names on something it 1236 01:04:20,373 --> 01:04:24,253 Speaker 4: costs somebody some money. They are lobbyists, right, and you 1237 01:04:24,293 --> 01:04:27,773 Speaker 4: know there is no two ways about it, right. But 1238 01:04:28,373 --> 01:04:31,333 Speaker 4: further on from that, you know there are things that 1239 01:04:31,613 --> 01:04:33,613 Speaker 4: you know, the average key we the average New Zealander 1240 01:04:33,693 --> 01:04:37,053 Speaker 4: does not need to know with regards to you know, 1241 01:04:37,093 --> 01:04:41,733 Speaker 4: our angoepecific security strategy, what we're doing without a space 1242 01:04:41,813 --> 01:04:44,053 Speaker 4: you know, that's by no mistake that Rocket Lab have 1243 01:04:44,093 --> 01:04:46,813 Speaker 4: got a six hundred percent year on year bloody earned 1244 01:04:46,853 --> 01:04:50,373 Speaker 4: coming up for the next thirty years. Right, you know 1245 01:04:50,573 --> 01:04:52,653 Speaker 4: when you look at it, and this is something that 1246 01:04:52,693 --> 01:04:55,493 Speaker 4: will really ticked the box, right, and this is free 1247 01:04:55,533 --> 01:04:58,213 Speaker 4: information available to anyone who wants to look it up. 1248 01:04:58,453 --> 01:05:01,533 Speaker 4: Healium three, right, which is something that I hadn't heard 1249 01:05:01,573 --> 01:05:05,813 Speaker 4: of until about two three weeks ago. Helium three is 1250 01:05:05,893 --> 01:05:09,693 Speaker 4: being mined by China on the backside the moon has 1251 01:05:09,773 --> 01:05:13,253 Speaker 4: done for the last twenty four months. That there is 1252 01:05:13,333 --> 01:05:18,293 Speaker 4: something that would actually end our fossil fuels. No need 1253 01:05:18,373 --> 01:05:20,893 Speaker 4: to have any more energy crisis anywhere in the world 1254 01:05:20,973 --> 01:05:23,293 Speaker 4: than ext thousand years for the globe. 1255 01:05:23,453 --> 01:05:26,253 Speaker 2: Well, Paul, I don't. I would have to look into that. 1256 01:05:26,253 --> 01:05:27,893 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about that. I haven't heard anything 1257 01:05:27,893 --> 01:05:32,213 Speaker 2: about China mining three of the moon. But if I 1258 01:05:32,333 --> 01:05:34,573 Speaker 2: just go back a step, can you not imagine a 1259 01:05:34,573 --> 01:05:39,053 Speaker 2: situation where some ex politicians get together and from opposite 1260 01:05:39,813 --> 01:05:42,093 Speaker 2: ends of the aisle, and just because they love their 1261 01:05:42,133 --> 01:05:45,933 Speaker 2: country and they care about the way it's going, and 1262 01:05:46,053 --> 01:05:51,013 Speaker 2: that they have you know that they are experienced because 1263 01:05:51,013 --> 01:05:52,853 Speaker 2: they have been in government and they have insights that 1264 01:05:52,893 --> 01:05:55,373 Speaker 2: they might not just come together out of them, but 1265 01:05:55,453 --> 01:05:58,093 Speaker 2: because they want to make the country a better place. 1266 01:05:58,173 --> 01:06:01,853 Speaker 2: Because Paul, if you had that kind of influence, would 1267 01:06:01,853 --> 01:06:04,453 Speaker 2: you and you had the ability to get media talking 1268 01:06:04,493 --> 01:06:07,733 Speaker 2: about your point of view, and would you not take 1269 01:06:07,733 --> 01:06:09,453 Speaker 2: that opportunity for the good of the nation to get 1270 01:06:09,493 --> 01:06:11,813 Speaker 2: your point across you? Would you would? 1271 01:06:12,013 --> 01:06:14,093 Speaker 4: You would need absolutely. 1272 01:06:13,973 --> 01:06:15,413 Speaker 2: No no, but you would do it without it. You 1273 01:06:15,453 --> 01:06:17,613 Speaker 2: wouldn't need. I don't think you. I think this is 1274 01:06:17,893 --> 01:06:18,733 Speaker 2: quite likely. 1275 01:06:18,573 --> 01:06:22,133 Speaker 4: With with you, with you, Winston, with back in Winston 1276 01:06:22,173 --> 01:06:23,973 Speaker 4: and in due to columns and. 1277 01:06:24,693 --> 01:06:26,893 Speaker 2: Enough good on you one hundred percent, and you should. 1278 01:06:26,893 --> 01:06:28,773 Speaker 2: But I just think even if you disagree with what 1279 01:06:28,813 --> 01:06:31,133 Speaker 2: they have to say, I think there's a good chance 1280 01:06:31,173 --> 01:06:34,373 Speaker 2: that Halen Clark, Don Brash and the other members of 1281 01:06:34,413 --> 01:06:37,573 Speaker 2: this letter believe that what they are doing is right. 1282 01:06:38,733 --> 01:06:41,973 Speaker 2: And and I mean I think it's more likely that 1283 01:06:41,973 --> 01:06:44,853 Speaker 2: they're doing it for no financial financial game. I mean, 1284 01:06:45,093 --> 01:06:48,213 Speaker 2: maybe maybe their motivations are as Whinston Peter says, to 1285 01:06:48,253 --> 01:06:51,773 Speaker 2: remain relevant. Maybe there's that that could be an accusation 1286 01:06:51,853 --> 01:06:54,293 Speaker 2: against against them, But I think it's more likely that 1287 01:06:54,293 --> 01:06:56,333 Speaker 2: they're getting so much more likely that they're getting no 1288 01:06:56,413 --> 01:06:59,053 Speaker 2: money and they just believe, rightly or wrongly, that this 1289 01:06:59,293 --> 01:07:01,293 Speaker 2: is this that the country is going in the wrong direction, 1290 01:07:01,453 --> 01:07:02,733 Speaker 2: and they want to have some influence on it. 1291 01:07:03,493 --> 01:07:05,173 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, definitely not. 1292 01:07:05,413 --> 01:07:08,173 Speaker 2: No, b can't convince ball. 1293 01:07:08,373 --> 01:07:09,733 Speaker 3: I agree with you, man. I mean this is you know, 1294 01:07:09,813 --> 01:07:12,533 Speaker 3: it's about ideology, right, is that these these particular people 1295 01:07:12,573 --> 01:07:14,613 Speaker 3: appreciate your corporul Yeah, thank you very much, Paul, when 1296 01:07:14,573 --> 01:07:16,333 Speaker 3: they're on different side of the fences here on Don 1297 01:07:16,373 --> 01:07:19,653 Speaker 3: Brash and Helen Clark. But clearly they firmly believe that 1298 01:07:19,853 --> 01:07:22,493 Speaker 3: US moving away from China and strengthening our times with 1299 01:07:22,533 --> 01:07:25,733 Speaker 3: the US is to our detriment. But that is because 1300 01:07:25,773 --> 01:07:28,613 Speaker 3: they firmly believe that for no, you know, no other 1301 01:07:28,653 --> 01:07:30,373 Speaker 3: reason of needed for that. 1302 01:07:30,453 --> 01:07:33,013 Speaker 2: And I'll just look up that Chinese mining on the 1303 01:07:33,053 --> 01:07:33,773 Speaker 2: dark side of the Moon. 1304 01:07:33,773 --> 01:07:36,213 Speaker 3: Well, I had a look at helium three and there's 1305 01:07:36,333 --> 01:07:38,573 Speaker 3: a lot of sources saying that it does exist on 1306 01:07:38,613 --> 01:07:41,133 Speaker 3: the moon, and there is some efforts to try and 1307 01:07:42,413 --> 01:07:45,093 Speaker 3: produce the technology to get up there and harvest it. 1308 01:07:45,613 --> 01:07:48,293 Speaker 3: But I have yet to find any information about China 1309 01:07:50,133 --> 01:07:52,373 Speaker 3: trying to get this helium three from the dark side 1310 01:07:52,373 --> 01:07:54,053 Speaker 3: of the Moon. So we'll look into that and find 1311 01:07:54,053 --> 01:07:56,493 Speaker 3: out oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 1312 01:07:56,613 --> 01:07:58,933 Speaker 3: number to call. It is nineteen to three. 1313 01:07:59,933 --> 01:08:03,453 Speaker 5: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and 1314 01:08:03,693 --> 01:08:04,653 Speaker 5: everything in between. 1315 01:08:04,893 --> 01:08:08,213 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks that'd. 1316 01:08:08,053 --> 01:08:11,173 Speaker 3: Be very good afternoons you. So the previous caller mention 1317 01:08:11,253 --> 01:08:14,373 Speaker 3: this helium three that is believed to exist on the Moon. 1318 01:08:14,533 --> 01:08:17,173 Speaker 3: So where he got his information from, as far as 1319 01:08:17,213 --> 01:08:19,973 Speaker 3: I can tell, is a retired Air Force general. He 1320 01:08:20,133 --> 01:08:24,852 Speaker 3: spoke to a podcaster but his name is Stephen Quast, 1321 01:08:25,492 --> 01:08:29,172 Speaker 3: and he claimed that China had already started mining helium 1322 01:08:29,213 --> 01:08:32,372 Speaker 3: three from the Moon. It is a rare form of 1323 01:08:32,492 --> 01:08:36,213 Speaker 3: gas and NASA estimates that a million tons of it 1324 01:08:36,293 --> 01:08:38,772 Speaker 3: is on the Moon. Scientists believe that helium three could 1325 01:08:38,772 --> 01:08:42,333 Speaker 3: provide nuclear energy and a fusion reactor, but since it's 1326 01:08:42,372 --> 01:08:46,253 Speaker 3: not radioactive, it would not produce dangerous waste. But he 1327 01:08:46,572 --> 01:08:50,333 Speaker 3: made that claim to the Sean Ryan Show. So that 1328 01:08:50,452 --> 01:08:53,453 Speaker 3: is where that information comes from. Whether he's a reliable 1329 01:08:53,532 --> 01:08:56,333 Speaker 3: source just by himself as a retired US Air Force 1330 01:08:56,412 --> 01:08:58,932 Speaker 3: lieutenant general, Well, you'd have to look into it further yourself. 1331 01:08:59,013 --> 01:09:01,093 Speaker 2: Well, how great is that story that's been out this 1332 01:09:01,173 --> 01:09:03,333 Speaker 2: week about and obviously he's been working out for a 1333 01:09:03,333 --> 01:09:05,452 Speaker 2: long time. I forget his name, that's working on They 1334 01:09:05,532 --> 01:09:09,532 Speaker 2: got the plasma going for the fusion on the steps. 1335 01:09:09,612 --> 01:09:12,293 Speaker 2: What do you think he's got three more trials before 1336 01:09:12,293 --> 01:09:14,092 Speaker 2: he thinks he can turn into react to and little 1337 01:09:14,093 --> 01:09:16,892 Speaker 2: old New Zealand trying to get the dream of fusion going. 1338 01:09:16,933 --> 01:09:18,652 Speaker 3: What an absolute legend that guy is. 1339 01:09:18,692 --> 01:09:20,293 Speaker 2: Hey, this ticks here. What a load of nonsense. I'm 1340 01:09:20,293 --> 01:09:24,173 Speaker 2: only influenced by social media. How insulting? Well, you know, 1341 01:09:24,213 --> 01:09:27,013 Speaker 2: it's just I don't I'm happy to insult people. I'm 1342 01:09:27,013 --> 01:09:29,772 Speaker 2: watching Trump's dictator actions now. I have been studying him 1343 01:09:29,812 --> 01:09:34,813 Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen. That is how I make my deductions. 1344 01:09:34,853 --> 01:09:37,053 Speaker 2: Nothing to do with social media's opinion. It's my own 1345 01:09:37,093 --> 01:09:39,532 Speaker 2: summarizing from watching his behavior for the last eight years. 1346 01:09:39,933 --> 01:09:42,892 Speaker 2: It's you Trumps who can't change your cult light attitude. 1347 01:09:42,933 --> 01:09:44,973 Speaker 2: I definitely want sale was a trumpet. That's ridiculous. But 1348 01:09:45,013 --> 01:09:48,892 Speaker 2: what I'm saying is you can objectively show that Trump 1349 01:09:48,933 --> 01:09:51,852 Speaker 2: is not a dictator. But China is a one party state, 1350 01:09:52,133 --> 01:09:55,292 Speaker 2: and so if you believe that, then I seriously suggest 1351 01:09:55,333 --> 01:09:58,412 Speaker 2: for your own mental health that you read outside of 1352 01:09:58,412 --> 01:10:00,812 Speaker 2: the circles that you're reading and now and try and 1353 01:10:00,893 --> 01:10:04,412 Speaker 2: challenge that view, because I worry, I worry for you 1354 01:10:04,492 --> 01:10:08,092 Speaker 2: if you think Trump's a dictator. I just, seriously, seriously, 1355 01:10:08,133 --> 01:10:10,173 Speaker 2: I think thing that we all need to get outside 1356 01:10:10,213 --> 01:10:11,972 Speaker 2: of our bubbles and read more stuff. 1357 01:10:12,013 --> 01:10:15,253 Speaker 3: The information is insidious, isn't it as really insidious? But 1358 01:10:15,293 --> 01:10:17,812 Speaker 3: thank you very much for that text, Nat show you 1359 01:10:17,812 --> 01:10:19,773 Speaker 3: want to have a chat about Winston Peters. 1360 01:10:21,133 --> 01:10:22,972 Speaker 16: Yeah, how are you guys for Yeah? 1361 01:10:23,013 --> 01:10:25,652 Speaker 2: Good for a Friday mate, how are you? Oh good? 1362 01:10:25,692 --> 01:10:28,973 Speaker 16: Thank you good. I'll keep it so. There's probably other 1363 01:10:29,013 --> 01:10:30,892 Speaker 16: people wanted to get on heavy on as well, but 1364 01:10:31,732 --> 01:10:35,652 Speaker 16: I just I think Winston Peter for some Winston Peter's 1365 01:10:35,652 --> 01:10:37,972 Speaker 16: for someone who's been in politics for as long as 1366 01:10:37,973 --> 01:10:40,412 Speaker 16: he is, he can he can certainly cut up with 1367 01:10:40,452 --> 01:10:43,133 Speaker 16: the best of them, and he can. He gave the 1368 01:10:43,173 --> 01:10:44,852 Speaker 16: Married Party a bit of a serious yesterday, and I 1369 01:10:45,372 --> 01:10:48,572 Speaker 16: thought it was quite enjoyable. When he called the leader 1370 01:10:48,612 --> 01:10:50,812 Speaker 16: of the Married Party. He kept going on about how 1371 01:10:50,812 --> 01:10:53,293 Speaker 16: he had his cowboy head on and he and and 1372 01:10:53,333 --> 01:10:58,853 Speaker 16: he didn't like because he was, you know, he'd been colonialized. 1373 01:10:59,093 --> 01:11:02,173 Speaker 16: And I just I just thought Winston Peters, it was 1374 01:11:02,213 --> 01:11:04,492 Speaker 16: it was a good series, you know, and he ended 1375 01:11:04,572 --> 01:11:06,492 Speaker 16: up having to apologize to a point of water or 1376 01:11:06,532 --> 01:11:09,013 Speaker 16: whatever happened there. You know, he ended up offering up 1377 01:11:09,013 --> 01:11:11,253 Speaker 16: an apology, but you know, he kind of gaves them 1378 01:11:11,293 --> 01:11:13,492 Speaker 16: a good serve and it's just, you know, it just 1379 01:11:13,492 --> 01:11:16,093 Speaker 16: goes to show that Onst Peter's has been around all 1380 01:11:16,133 --> 01:11:18,692 Speaker 16: this time and they can still swing with the best 1381 01:11:18,692 --> 01:11:20,492 Speaker 16: of them, you know, give as good as he gets. 1382 01:11:20,853 --> 01:11:24,852 Speaker 2: And what was this comment, Tyler? What was sorry, Natio Tyler? 1383 01:11:24,893 --> 01:11:28,052 Speaker 2: What was on Peter's comment pushing back on this letter 1384 01:11:28,093 --> 01:11:31,092 Speaker 2: from people including Don Brash and Helen Clark. 1385 01:11:31,213 --> 01:11:34,892 Speaker 3: So he said, I quote, this is the direct quote. 1386 01:11:34,973 --> 01:11:37,372 Speaker 3: I see no value in indulging the tight arguments of 1387 01:11:37,452 --> 01:11:40,412 Speaker 3: various former politicians or official officials who appeared to be 1388 01:11:40,412 --> 01:11:42,972 Speaker 3: suffering from relevant deprivation syndrome. 1389 01:11:43,013 --> 01:11:44,932 Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a quick that shuts people down. 1390 01:11:44,933 --> 01:11:47,492 Speaker 2: It doesn't necessarily address the contents of the letter. But 1391 01:11:47,492 --> 01:11:49,732 Speaker 2: but Naco, he's always got he's always he's very quick 1392 01:11:49,732 --> 01:11:52,093 Speaker 2: asn't he He's eighty and he's as quick as ever. 1393 01:11:53,213 --> 01:11:55,452 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, it was just yeah, it was just I 1394 01:11:55,532 --> 01:11:57,612 Speaker 16: just happened to see a little TikTok video that popped 1395 01:11:57,652 --> 01:12:00,892 Speaker 16: up on my social media and I sat there and 1396 01:12:00,893 --> 01:12:02,293 Speaker 16: watched it for a couple of minutes, and it was 1397 01:12:02,612 --> 01:12:05,492 Speaker 16: it was just so entertaining in one sense, but you know, 1398 01:12:05,532 --> 01:12:07,692 Speaker 16: it kind of gives them a serve and one. But look, 1399 01:12:07,732 --> 01:12:09,812 Speaker 16: I don't I don't think we have to follow China. 1400 01:12:10,853 --> 01:12:12,612 Speaker 16: You know, if they don't want our more or if 1401 01:12:12,612 --> 01:12:15,172 Speaker 16: I don't want our meat, well plenty of other countries 1402 01:12:15,213 --> 01:12:17,772 Speaker 16: it will take our take our meat, and take our wine, 1403 01:12:17,772 --> 01:12:20,213 Speaker 16: and take our probably not probably not as much as 1404 01:12:20,213 --> 01:12:21,812 Speaker 16: what China takes, but you. 1405 01:12:21,772 --> 01:12:26,532 Speaker 3: Know, we'll go to diversifying, right, That's that is an 1406 01:12:26,572 --> 01:12:28,812 Speaker 3: important strategy if you can make that work, and hence 1407 01:12:28,853 --> 01:12:32,293 Speaker 3: why our Prime minister made a big play for India 1408 01:12:32,372 --> 01:12:34,892 Speaker 3: and are certainly making big plays for free trade agreements 1409 01:12:34,893 --> 01:12:37,452 Speaker 3: with other countries. That's all about diversifying and if we 1410 01:12:37,492 --> 01:12:39,133 Speaker 3: can do that, then we're all the better for it. 1411 01:12:39,173 --> 01:12:42,852 Speaker 2: But that is difficult to do. Yeah, well, that's what 1412 01:12:43,173 --> 01:12:45,173 Speaker 2: That's why I'm trying to say. I think that there's 1413 01:12:45,213 --> 01:12:48,452 Speaker 2: no often in these situations, there is no right answer. 1414 01:12:48,853 --> 01:12:51,492 Speaker 2: There's just trade offs, right, and we're currently as we've 1415 01:12:51,492 --> 01:12:54,213 Speaker 2: been saying for this whole hour, and I fear we 1416 01:12:54,293 --> 01:12:57,213 Speaker 2: never quite got to the conversation that we wanted to have, 1417 01:12:58,213 --> 01:13:01,293 Speaker 2: but probably because the bigger elephant of the room was 1418 01:13:01,333 --> 01:13:05,092 Speaker 2: just the difficult position that New Zealand's in between historical 1419 01:13:05,133 --> 01:13:07,932 Speaker 2: allies and dealing with the democracy of the United States 1420 01:13:07,933 --> 01:13:11,012 Speaker 2: of America with all its problems, and there's no doubt 1421 01:13:11,093 --> 01:13:15,893 Speaker 2: there's corruption and there's a horror show an American democracy, 1422 01:13:16,093 --> 01:13:20,652 Speaker 2: it's all laid bare. But against China that we wouldn't 1423 01:13:20,652 --> 01:13:23,492 Speaker 2: even recognize how that's run. We would not like it. 1424 01:13:23,572 --> 01:13:25,412 Speaker 2: And I think there's a big problem coming if there's 1425 01:13:25,412 --> 01:13:28,572 Speaker 2: ever any an invasion of Taiwan, and you know, some 1426 01:13:28,612 --> 01:13:31,213 Speaker 2: people have been saying it's been geared up to some 1427 01:13:31,253 --> 01:13:35,453 Speaker 2: people are putting a date like the you know, twenty 1428 01:13:35,492 --> 01:13:37,612 Speaker 2: twenty eight, twenty twenty nine, who knows, who knows what 1429 01:13:37,692 --> 01:13:39,692 Speaker 2: will happen, But that's going to put us in an 1430 01:13:39,973 --> 01:13:45,772 Speaker 2: incredibly terrible position if China should invade Taiwan. I mean, 1431 01:13:45,772 --> 01:13:47,853 Speaker 2: I don't even know what's going to happen under those circumstances. 1432 01:13:48,293 --> 01:13:51,492 Speaker 2: So it's all about where the line goes towards our 1433 01:13:51,612 --> 01:13:56,012 Speaker 2: defense of allegiance with the Western Bloc, and how far 1434 01:13:56,253 --> 01:13:59,892 Speaker 2: we have to compromise that to keep trading with China 1435 01:13:59,933 --> 01:14:01,692 Speaker 2: exactly so we can paye our bills. 1436 01:14:02,133 --> 01:14:04,732 Speaker 3: And Judith Collins, whatever you may think personally, a Judith Colin, 1437 01:14:04,853 --> 01:14:07,773 Speaker 3: she is switched on person and she has seen intelligence 1438 01:14:07,812 --> 01:14:09,893 Speaker 3: that we are not seen and talking to counterparts in 1439 01:14:09,933 --> 01:14:12,252 Speaker 3: other parts of the world, and some of the language 1440 01:14:12,293 --> 01:14:15,932 Speaker 3: she was using in terms of the need to increase 1441 01:14:15,973 --> 01:14:19,933 Speaker 3: that budget for a military. You know, I put a 1442 01:14:19,933 --> 01:14:23,532 Speaker 3: lot of trust into the intelligence that she's seen that 1443 01:14:23,612 --> 01:14:26,492 Speaker 3: we cannot see on the value of doing that. 1444 01:14:26,532 --> 01:14:30,293 Speaker 2: But great discussion. Well, a lot of people are texting 1445 01:14:30,333 --> 01:14:31,852 Speaker 2: through I've got to answer this on nine two ninety 1446 01:14:31,853 --> 01:14:36,293 Speaker 2: two saying that people can be elected and then become dictators. 1447 01:14:36,612 --> 01:14:38,933 Speaker 2: That's absolutely true, but it's not through democracy that they 1448 01:14:39,013 --> 01:14:42,572 Speaker 2: become dictators. It's a subversion of democracy right now and 1449 01:14:43,213 --> 01:14:47,452 Speaker 2: right now in America objectively speaking, there is a representative 1450 01:14:47,452 --> 01:14:52,812 Speaker 2: democracy going on, yeah with you know, and we don't 1451 01:14:52,893 --> 01:14:55,452 Speaker 2: understand the powers that a president has, which is different 1452 01:14:55,452 --> 01:14:56,973 Speaker 2: from what we have in New Zealand because we've got 1453 01:14:56,973 --> 01:14:59,412 Speaker 2: a different form of democracy than they do. But they 1454 01:14:59,532 --> 01:15:04,732 Speaker 2: have they give special powers to the president and commander 1455 01:15:04,772 --> 01:15:06,972 Speaker 2: in chief, head of the executive branch that we don't 1456 01:15:06,973 --> 01:15:09,612 Speaker 2: really understand here, but it is democracy and it's not 1457 01:15:09,652 --> 01:15:11,932 Speaker 2: a one party state like China, and we're. 1458 01:15:11,772 --> 01:15:13,133 Speaker 3: Going to have to keep saying it because you're up 1459 01:15:13,133 --> 01:15:14,812 Speaker 3: against the algorithms on social media. 1460 01:15:14,812 --> 01:15:15,772 Speaker 2: I'm not pretty powerful. 1461 01:15:16,213 --> 01:15:18,333 Speaker 3: Great discussion, thank you very much. 1462 01:15:18,372 --> 01:15:20,492 Speaker 2: If you're getting your politics from TikTok, then then I 1463 01:15:20,532 --> 01:15:21,933 Speaker 2: fear for yourself. 1464 01:15:21,933 --> 01:15:25,973 Speaker 3: Is nine to three, the issues that affect you and 1465 01:15:26,093 --> 01:15:27,372 Speaker 3: a bit of fun along the way. 1466 01:15:27,612 --> 01:15:31,053 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons news talks'd be. 1467 01:15:32,612 --> 01:15:34,012 Speaker 3: Afternoon.

Out there. 1480 01:16:08,372 --> 01:16:12,213 Speaker 2: It's hugely entertaining and if you spend any time of 1481 01:16:12,253 --> 01:16:14,372 Speaker 2: the wall on the internet, you see that the vox 1482 01:16:14,412 --> 01:16:17,492 Speaker 2: pop has made a huge return and people just going 1483 01:16:17,492 --> 01:16:20,732 Speaker 2: ask people on the street for content. So this person 1484 01:16:21,053 --> 01:16:24,572 Speaker 2: decided to run through AI. It comes with a video, 1485 01:16:24,772 --> 01:16:28,093 Speaker 2: but the audio is good enough, asking people doing vox 1486 01:16:28,093 --> 01:16:32,173 Speaker 2: pops with people from the fifteen hundreds in England and 1487 01:16:32,213 --> 01:16:35,772 Speaker 2: the fifteen hundreds. So it's created a video asking AI 1488 01:16:35,933 --> 01:16:37,892 Speaker 2: to generate what people would say if there were asked 1489 01:16:37,933 --> 01:16:40,892 Speaker 2: questions on the streets in the fifteen hundreds. What's lifelike 1490 01:16:40,973 --> 01:16:41,652 Speaker 2: for you right now? 1491 01:16:42,333 --> 01:16:46,933 Speaker 18: Woke up, stepped in, done, got taxed and that was 1492 01:16:46,973 --> 01:16:47,853 Speaker 18: before breakfast. 1493 01:16:48,652 --> 01:16:49,732 Speaker 3: Do you enjoy your work? 1494 01:16:50,572 --> 01:16:50,732 Speaker 14: Eh? 1495 01:16:51,572 --> 01:16:56,572 Speaker 2: It's honest work and no one talks back.

So how do 1501 01:17:13,333 --> 01:17:17,692 Speaker 2: you respond to the witch accusations? If I were a witch, 1502 01:17:18,372 --> 01:17:19,572 Speaker 2: you'd already be a frog. 1503 01:17:20,452 --> 01:17:23,772 Speaker 3: What's the biggest challenge for a noble woman these days? 1504 01:17:23,812 --> 01:17:27,773 Speaker 16: Three hours to get dressed and still no pockets? 1505 01:17:28,333 --> 01:17:31,933 Speaker 2: That's business flower shortage. 1506 01:17:32,133 --> 01:17:36,052 Speaker 14: The oven is cursed and rats, lots of rats. 1507 01:17:36,372 --> 01:17:38,092 Speaker 2: What's life like for a farmer right now? 1508 01:17:38,412 --> 01:17:41,333 Speaker 3: Hard work, saw back, but the soil is good this year. 1509 01:17:41,933 --> 01:17:45,333 Speaker 2: Might even eat something with meat next week. It's pretty good. 1510 01:17:45,452 --> 01:17:47,572 Speaker 3: So good, isn't it so good? But it makes you 1511 01:17:47,612 --> 01:17:49,852 Speaker 3: thankful for living? And twenty twenty five, I've got to say. 1512 01:17:49,692 --> 01:17:51,293 Speaker 2: It's to be here. It's kind of bitter when you 1513 01:17:51,293 --> 01:17:53,492 Speaker 2: can see the doctor they're talking to as the plague 1514 01:17:53,492 --> 01:17:55,093 Speaker 2: doctor and one of those plague masks and one of 1515 01:17:55,133 --> 01:17:57,412 Speaker 2: the people they're talking to as an executioner. But it's 1516 01:17:57,492 --> 01:17:59,572 Speaker 2: very good. There's some good stuff coming out of AI. 1517 01:17:59,812 --> 01:18:03,652 Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely right.

Right, we're going to have a chat 1529 01:19:02,532 --> 01:19:05,932 Speaker 3: very shortly about New Zealand's greatest coach of all time 1530 01:19:06,013 --> 01:19:07,572 Speaker 3: sporting coach of courses on. 1531 01:19:07,532 --> 01:19:08,812 Speaker 2: The back of Gary Steared. 1532 01:19:09,013 --> 01:19:14,333 Speaker 3: He has retired and his replacement has been named Rob Walter, 1533 01:19:14,452 --> 01:19:17,652 Speaker 3: former South Africa Otago in Central District, Bosford. No doubt 1534 01:19:17,853 --> 01:19:21,093 Speaker 3: Gary Stead one of the greatest coaches of all time. 1535 01:19:21,293 --> 01:19:23,572 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to say, I mean winning that Test 1536 01:19:23,612 --> 01:19:27,293 Speaker 2: series in India, that was phenomenal, winning the World Test Championship. 1537 01:19:27,333 --> 01:19:30,372 Speaker 2: He's had an incredible amount of success in his times 1538 01:19:30,652 --> 01:19:35,333 Speaker 2: as coach. He's stepping down and you know who, you 1539 01:19:35,333 --> 01:19:39,173 Speaker 2: can't blame him that. The stress and the workload of 1540 01:19:39,213 --> 01:19:41,973 Speaker 2: being a cricket coach across all three formats in New 1541 01:19:42,013 --> 01:19:42,612 Speaker 2: Zealand is. 1542 01:19:42,652 --> 01:19:45,052 Speaker 3: Phenomenal, absolutely, but it's at a great job. 1543 01:19:45,853 --> 01:19:48,933 Speaker 2: There might be an argument that he's the most successful 1544 01:19:49,933 --> 01:19:53,012 Speaker 2: cricket coach in New Zealand's history. So I would say 1545 01:19:53,173 --> 01:19:56,973 Speaker 2: that Mike Heessen. I personally think Mike Kessen was a 1546 01:19:57,093 --> 01:20:01,133 Speaker 2: more a transformative coach yep. I feel like he turned 1547 01:20:01,133 --> 01:20:03,892 Speaker 2: New Zealand cricket round and that Gary Stead was smart 1548 01:20:03,973 --> 01:20:06,212 Speaker 2: enough to follow on with a lot of what Mikeysen 1549 01:20:06,213 --> 01:20:07,492 Speaker 2: had done.

Gary Stead has retired. Well he that's complicated, but anyway, 1656 01:25:36,213 --> 01:25:38,892 Speaker 2: he's no longer the coach, yes, yeah, because they wanted 1657 01:25:38,893 --> 01:25:42,452 Speaker 2: a coach that does all three codes, all three formats 1658 01:25:42,492 --> 01:25:44,852 Speaker 2: of the game. So he's no longer. I think he's 1659 01:25:44,853 --> 01:25:48,013 Speaker 2: been a fantastic coach for the black Caps and what 1660 01:25:48,053 --> 01:25:50,572 Speaker 2: a great New Zealand is great eyebrows sometimes they're longer, 1661 01:25:50,652 --> 01:25:53,812 Speaker 2: sometimes very look looks a bit like pikachuw yep. But 1662 01:25:53,973 --> 01:25:58,013 Speaker 2: fantastic coach, absolutely, But who is the greatest coach of 1663 01:25:58,093 --> 01:26:00,732 Speaker 2: all time across all codes? And it's a very hard 1664 01:26:00,812 --> 01:26:01,572 Speaker 2: question to answer. 1665 01:26:01,612 --> 01:26:04,173 Speaker 3: Oh eight one hundred eighty ten eighty, but we're going 1666 01:26:04,253 --> 01:26:05,333 Speaker 3: to discuss it dead. 1667 01:26:05,412 --> 01:26:06,573 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. 1668 01:26:07,293 --> 01:26:09,213 Speaker 19: Hey guys, Actually, how you're all doing? 1669 01:26:09,732 --> 01:26:11,653 Speaker 2: Very good. Hey, that was simultaneous. 1670 01:26:11,692 --> 01:26:17,732 Speaker 19: Til yeah, how can you choose? How can you choose? 1671 01:26:19,213 --> 01:26:21,772 Speaker 19: I mean I had a very only thought in my 1672 01:26:21,812 --> 01:26:26,372 Speaker 19: head was which coaches have taken teams to the World 1673 01:26:26,452 --> 01:26:33,812 Speaker 19: Cups okay full times and won them and are really 1674 01:26:34,013 --> 01:26:38,372 Speaker 19: coaching the most visible codes? And I mean, how can 1675 01:26:38,412 --> 01:26:39,732 Speaker 19: you pass Nolan Toto? 1676 01:26:39,732 --> 01:26:39,812 Speaker 7: Her? 1677 01:26:41,452 --> 01:26:45,013 Speaker 19: She's dame, She's huge, she continues, She's come back what 1678 01:26:45,173 --> 01:26:45,892 Speaker 19: three times? 1679 01:26:45,933 --> 01:26:46,133 Speaker 1: Now? 1680 01:26:46,652 --> 01:26:49,532 Speaker 19: They keep bringing you back because she's a legend. Steve Hanson, 1681 01:26:49,812 --> 01:26:52,892 Speaker 19: there's just there's no point in talking about him. Everybody 1682 01:26:52,933 --> 01:26:54,973 Speaker 19: knows that he's just the greatest of all time in 1683 01:26:55,013 --> 01:27:01,372 Speaker 19: his code. And and then you've got the the women's rugby, 1684 01:27:01,572 --> 01:27:04,613 Speaker 19: you know, and what Wayne Hanson did there was just phenomenal. 1685 01:27:05,133 --> 01:27:09,572 Speaker 19: So not Wayne Hanson, Wayne's. 1686 01:27:09,412 --> 01:27:12,093 Speaker 2: It's an interesting It's an interesting question because criteria is 1687 01:27:12,133 --> 01:27:14,333 Speaker 2: an important part of it, isn't it? Because you could say, 1688 01:27:14,412 --> 01:27:18,933 Speaker 2: with Steve Hanson, right, fantastically successful coach, but what a 1689 01:27:19,013 --> 01:27:22,333 Speaker 2: team he had underneath him. You've got your Richmally because 1690 01:27:22,452 --> 01:27:26,333 Speaker 2: your care and Reeds, you droon Kino's, you Ben Smith's, 1691 01:27:26,412 --> 01:27:28,893 Speaker 2: your Dan Carter's. That was a hell of a team 1692 01:27:29,133 --> 01:27:32,692 Speaker 2: he was coaching and sometimes. 1693 01:27:32,253 --> 01:27:34,092 Speaker 19: It was a crazy time in terms of choice. 1694 01:27:34,133 --> 01:27:35,572 Speaker 2: Yeah, That's why I've got a lot of time for 1695 01:27:35,692 --> 01:27:38,053 Speaker 2: Mike Hessen because he had a lot of talent and 1696 01:27:38,053 --> 01:27:40,572 Speaker 2: the black Cats, but he turned around and recreated and 1697 01:27:40,973 --> 01:27:46,333 Speaker 2: it was transformative coach. So you think Nolan Toto is 1698 01:27:47,213 --> 01:27:51,333 Speaker 2: a more significant Letble coach than Lowis Muir, Yes, I. 1699 01:27:51,333 --> 01:27:53,572 Speaker 19: Do, because she's current and she's modern. 1700 01:27:53,812 --> 01:27:54,132 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1701 01:27:54,293 --> 01:27:56,213 Speaker 19: Yeah, And I mean you can go back years and 1702 01:27:56,293 --> 01:27:59,692 Speaker 19: years and years and pull out coaches some previous years 1703 01:27:59,732 --> 01:28:04,372 Speaker 19: right for codes all over the world. But you're the 1704 01:28:04,412 --> 01:28:06,412 Speaker 19: problem with that is that they were modern and that 1705 01:28:06,572 --> 01:28:09,532 Speaker 19: they were they were coaching in their time. But today 1706 01:28:09,652 --> 01:28:12,452 Speaker 19: what we're dealing with is modern sport as a completely 1707 01:28:12,492 --> 01:28:15,972 Speaker 19: different base. Acts if you put them into the modern time, 1708 01:28:17,173 --> 01:28:19,412 Speaker 19: may not do as well as what they had done 1709 01:28:19,492 --> 01:28:21,812 Speaker 19: back then, you know. I mean they're all amazing people. 1710 01:28:22,933 --> 01:28:26,972 Speaker 19: I just think that some people have that X factor as. 1711 01:28:26,812 --> 01:28:29,253 Speaker 3: Well and the face of adversity for Noline as well. 1712 01:28:29,293 --> 01:28:32,173 Speaker 3: I mean when she's interviewed and what she's gone through 1713 01:28:32,173 --> 01:28:33,892 Speaker 3: and the pressure that was put on her, she has 1714 01:28:33,933 --> 01:28:34,733 Speaker 3: been phenomenal. 1715 01:28:35,732 --> 01:28:37,892 Speaker 19: Yeah, And I mean she's had her bad times and 1716 01:28:37,973 --> 01:28:42,213 Speaker 19: her good times, so she hasn't just been this icon 1717 01:28:42,692 --> 01:28:45,772 Speaker 19: when it's all been roses and fantastic. She'd come in 1718 01:28:45,812 --> 01:28:48,133 Speaker 19: when we were at our lowest and gone back down 1719 01:28:48,213 --> 01:28:50,372 Speaker 19: there but built it back up. And she's not only 1720 01:28:50,412 --> 01:28:55,173 Speaker 19: done it based on her success, she's also done it 1721 01:28:55,213 --> 01:29:00,013 Speaker 19: with models and processes and really smart, intelligent theory. And 1722 01:29:00,133 --> 01:29:02,773 Speaker 19: you know, she's not just the player. She does everything. 1723 01:29:04,093 --> 01:29:06,093 Speaker 2: You know, there's more than just inheriting a team that's 1724 01:29:06,133 --> 01:29:10,293 Speaker 2: already functional and doing very very well and then continuing 1725 01:29:10,333 --> 01:29:12,213 Speaker 2: it on. So yeah, that's that's the sort of that 1726 01:29:12,253 --> 01:29:13,492 Speaker 2: what what makes a great coach. 1727 01:29:13,532 --> 01:29:15,652 Speaker 19: And I mean and she brought Amelia here. It's a 1728 01:29:15,692 --> 01:29:19,412 Speaker 19: good example about bringing players through as those coaches Amelia 1729 01:29:19,452 --> 01:29:20,893 Speaker 19: around their canascio. 1730 01:29:21,652 --> 01:29:21,852 Speaker 4: You know. 1731 01:29:22,133 --> 01:29:24,372 Speaker 19: I mean, she recognized her talent from her time in 1732 01:29:24,372 --> 01:29:27,452 Speaker 19: Australia and said we want this girl, and she got 1733 01:29:27,492 --> 01:29:29,213 Speaker 19: her over here and got her playing in New Zealand. 1734 01:29:29,213 --> 01:29:32,173 Speaker 19: Now she would never have got into the Timonds. That's 1735 01:29:32,213 --> 01:29:35,092 Speaker 19: only a little example, but you know, I just how 1736 01:29:35,133 --> 01:29:38,492 Speaker 19: do you choose? So Jane Smith is amazing. Look what 1737 01:29:38,572 --> 01:29:40,652 Speaker 19: he's done for women's rugby. 1738 01:29:40,692 --> 01:29:42,492 Speaker 3: Winesmith is an incredible coach here. 1739 01:29:42,692 --> 01:29:46,452 Speaker 19: Now and and how he helped that team build their 1740 01:29:46,492 --> 01:29:48,732 Speaker 19: own persona incredible. 1741 01:29:48,372 --> 01:29:51,012 Speaker 2: Now in the world of netty, you've got to say 1742 01:29:51,213 --> 01:29:54,892 Speaker 2: Australian national coach Normal Plumber in her day was surely 1743 01:29:54,933 --> 01:29:57,652 Speaker 2: the most terrifying coach anywhere in the world ever, of 1744 01:29:57,732 --> 01:30:04,333 Speaker 2: any sports.

I 1806 01:33:06,213 --> 01:33:10,333 Speaker 2: have because guess what, Malcolm, Yes, what the last name 1807 01:33:10,692 --> 01:33:14,612 Speaker 2: of my partner is Lydia really and is she. 1808 01:33:14,772 --> 01:33:15,492 Speaker 18: Related to him? 1809 01:33:15,572 --> 01:33:20,013 Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely awesome the Lydia family and close to the 1810 01:33:20,053 --> 01:33:24,333 Speaker 2: Lydiad shoes company as well. Wow, yeah isn no, but 1811 01:33:24,412 --> 01:33:26,492 Speaker 2: we are going down to the Pola to Poe in 1812 01:33:26,612 --> 01:33:32,012 Speaker 2: Topol tomorrow to run this kind of six hour relay situation. 1813 01:33:32,612 --> 01:33:36,932 Speaker 2: But it's awesome. But being a Lydia, she's always asked 1814 01:33:36,933 --> 01:33:39,772 Speaker 2: if she's a runner, and I think she's just decided 1815 01:33:39,772 --> 01:33:41,572 Speaker 2: to not be a runner just to sort of prove 1816 01:33:41,572 --> 01:33:43,932 Speaker 2: people wrong. Although well, I say that she is being 1817 01:33:43,973 --> 01:33:46,492 Speaker 2: involved in the six hour relay with me, so you 1818 01:33:46,492 --> 01:33:47,932 Speaker 2: know that's that's a certain amount of running. 1819 01:33:47,973 --> 01:33:50,372 Speaker 4: But she would know how great he was. 1820 01:33:52,093 --> 01:33:57,492 Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, so no, they're very proud of that. Of Arthur. 1821 01:33:58,652 --> 01:33:59,933 Speaker 7: She would totally agree with me. 1822 01:34:00,013 --> 01:34:03,253 Speaker 2: Then, yeah, she would totally agree with here. But she's 1823 01:34:03,253 --> 01:34:08,973 Speaker 2: also shockingly bys so I think, of course you're not. No, 1824 01:34:09,173 --> 01:34:11,372 Speaker 2: of course I'm not. How you thank you so much 1825 01:34:11,372 --> 01:34:12,132 Speaker 2: for your call, Malcolm. 1826 01:34:12,372 --> 01:34:14,253 Speaker 3: And there's a heck of a lot of texts coming 1827 01:34:14,293 --> 01:34:16,173 Speaker 3: through for Arthur Lydiard as well. 1828 01:34:16,492 --> 01:34:18,252 Speaker 2: I see is liliad okay? 1829 01:34:18,452 --> 01:34:18,652 Speaker 14: Right? 1830 01:34:21,213 --> 01:34:23,532 Speaker 2: So it's just not not not not just my partner?

But this guy, I'll name the guy 1837 01:34:46,253 --> 01:34:52,052 Speaker 21: named the guys that he's coached. This guy's coach numerous 1838 01:34:52,053 --> 01:34:57,892 Speaker 21: Olympic middleists living the sisters right, Marke Drisdale, Nicky Cole, 1839 01:34:58,652 --> 01:35:01,412 Speaker 21: hey hey much fond and Erck Murray, and I think 1840 01:35:01,492 --> 01:35:05,612 Speaker 21: Big he's probably one of those. Yeah, he is controversial coach, 1841 01:35:06,173 --> 01:35:09,572 Speaker 21: he doesn't seem to get himself out there, but he's 1842 01:35:09,572 --> 01:35:12,933 Speaker 21: one of the helboo five times as the coach of 1843 01:35:12,933 --> 01:35:15,572 Speaker 21: the year end. I think he's probably one of those 1844 01:35:16,333 --> 01:35:20,652 Speaker 21: guys that really produces the goods. But I mean, you know, 1845 01:35:20,812 --> 01:35:26,412 Speaker 21: I remember watching Pamous, Bondon and Murray say that they 1846 01:35:26,612 --> 01:35:31,452 Speaker 21: hated training with him to get the very best, and 1847 01:35:31,492 --> 01:35:33,612 Speaker 21: I think that's what the whole aim of it. Coaches 1848 01:35:34,532 --> 01:35:40,173 Speaker 21: producer goods. So he's he's got six gold medal. I 1849 01:35:40,173 --> 01:35:42,452 Speaker 21: think he goes on it mostly because he's not always 1850 01:35:42,452 --> 01:35:45,093 Speaker 21: in the media, and he he's got this mistique about 1851 01:35:45,133 --> 01:35:47,492 Speaker 21: him and he's yeah, so I think that Tonks is 1852 01:35:47,492 --> 01:35:49,372 Speaker 21: probably up there with Martha Lydiat. 1853 01:35:49,572 --> 01:35:54,053 Speaker 2: Yeah so he he got a silver meta himself, didn't he, Yeah, 1854 01:35:55,093 --> 01:35:58,372 Speaker 2: back in the day. And yeah, so okay, like I'm 1855 01:35:58,412 --> 01:36:00,732 Speaker 2: just looking at here. He's been involved in thirteen gold medals. 1856 01:36:00,772 --> 01:36:05,772 Speaker 2: Coach for thirteen gold medals. That's pretty no, no, sorry, 1857 01:36:05,772 --> 01:36:07,852 Speaker 2: that's world championship medals. I got that wrong. Yeah, you're right, 1858 01:36:07,893 --> 01:36:10,452 Speaker 2: a total of seven Olympic medals, six of which were gold. 1859 01:36:10,692 --> 01:36:13,173 Speaker 2: That's I mean, coaching to six gold medals is quite something, 1860 01:36:13,213 --> 01:36:13,492 Speaker 2: isn't it. 1861 01:36:15,093 --> 01:36:18,173 Speaker 21: And And like because Rick Bey and that we get 1862 01:36:18,213 --> 01:36:21,412 Speaker 21: a lot of profile on the ball, but I mean 1863 01:36:21,452 --> 01:36:24,492 Speaker 21: he's one of those reluctant guys to come to the 1864 01:36:24,612 --> 01:36:27,053 Speaker 21: you know, jump in front of the camera. And I 1865 01:36:27,053 --> 01:36:30,213 Speaker 21: think he's also been named as World Ruins Coach of 1866 01:36:30,213 --> 01:36:34,852 Speaker 21: the Year three times. Yeah, so he's he's he's pretty 1867 01:36:34,893 --> 01:36:37,012 Speaker 21: up there, and I thought, you know, he's probably needs 1868 01:36:37,053 --> 01:36:40,972 Speaker 21: to Yeah, in my eyes, he's probably on the same 1869 01:36:41,053 --> 01:36:42,533 Speaker 21: part as Lydia's. 1870 01:36:42,652 --> 01:36:44,652 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good on you, Carl.

But I'm just reading up on, 1873 01:36:48,612 --> 01:36:51,092 Speaker 3: you know, and Hamish Bond and Eric Murray both talked 1874 01:36:51,133 --> 01:36:54,293 Speaker 3: about some pretty uh you know, argie bargie times with 1875 01:36:54,372 --> 01:36:56,572 Speaker 3: Dick Tonks. But I'm just reading this article here, so 1876 01:36:57,452 --> 01:37:00,212 Speaker 3: Hamish Bond said. Tonks wasn't impressed by him or teammate 1877 01:37:00,293 --> 01:37:02,732 Speaker 3: Eric murray A for asking to complete a training session 1878 01:37:02,732 --> 01:37:04,412 Speaker 3: in christ toch so he could spend time with his 1879 01:37:04,452 --> 01:37:06,852 Speaker 3: girlfriend before they went overseas. This was in twenty twenty. 1880 01:37:06,933 --> 01:37:09,213 Speaker 3: We ended up getting called back into the Eric and 1881 01:37:09,293 --> 01:37:11,732 Speaker 3: I that afternoon by the Rowing New Zealand manager and 1882 01:37:11,732 --> 01:37:14,572 Speaker 3: basically Dick stormed into the room tours strips off us. 1883 01:37:14,612 --> 01:37:17,093 Speaker 3: He caught us every word that could possibly come into 1884 01:37:17,173 --> 01:37:21,012 Speaker 3: his mind.

Well what do you do you That's an 1891 01:37:35,093 --> 01:37:37,452 Speaker 2: interesting thing. That's it's kind of a modern discussion now 1892 01:37:37,492 --> 01:37:41,013 Speaker 2: because there's often chats about the type of coaching you do. 1893 01:37:41,133 --> 01:37:43,892 Speaker 2: Are you a coach that screams and yells at your 1894 01:37:44,772 --> 01:37:48,012 Speaker 2: you know the people you're coaching to get results, or 1895 01:37:48,133 --> 01:37:53,612 Speaker 2: do you have a more sort of inclusive discussion with them. Yeah, 1896 01:37:53,732 --> 01:37:58,412 Speaker 2: Dick Tonk sounds like he's a screamer, and you know, 1897 01:37:58,612 --> 01:38:00,812 Speaker 2: and now these days, if you're coaching and you're yelling 1898 01:38:00,853 --> 01:38:03,772 Speaker 2: at screaming, actually there's often a opportunity might be accused 1899 01:38:03,772 --> 01:38:06,293 Speaker 2: of bullying.

A couple of texts for 1970 01:41:36,492 --> 01:41:40,133 Speaker 3: Sir Brian Law obviously obviously got the World Cup in 1971 01:41:40,213 --> 01:41:43,652 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty seven, but in terms of tess, winds not 1972 01:41:43,812 --> 01:41:46,692 Speaker 3: high when you look at the likes of Steve Hansen 1973 01:41:47,013 --> 01:41:48,772 Speaker 3: and Sir Graham Henry. 1974 01:41:49,412 --> 01:41:51,213 Speaker 2: But can you get your views O one hundred eighty 1975 01:41:51,452 --> 01:41:53,892 Speaker 2: and eighty Yeah, but I think as I was saying 1976 01:41:53,933 --> 01:41:56,372 Speaker 2: before this, and how do you quantify it? Because if 1977 01:41:56,412 --> 01:42:02,372 Speaker 2: you are transforming or team or coaching a team that 1978 01:42:02,612 --> 01:42:05,932 Speaker 2: didn't have maybe the stars that it needed, but somehow 1979 01:42:05,973 --> 01:42:08,772 Speaker 2: you brought them together to be a unit bigger than 1980 01:42:08,772 --> 01:42:10,933 Speaker 2: the sum of their parts. Yeah, then can you be 1981 01:42:10,973 --> 01:42:15,372 Speaker 2: held up against someone who inherited great players? Because you 1982 01:42:15,372 --> 01:42:19,492 Speaker 2: could argue that anyone could have coached the Richie McCaw, 1983 01:42:20,053 --> 01:42:25,772 Speaker 2: Karen Reid, Jern Kano, Ben Smith, Dan Carter Era Rugby. 1984 01:42:25,933 --> 01:42:28,932 Speaker 2: Yeah and done very very well. Yeah. So then yeah, 1985 01:42:28,973 --> 01:42:30,852 Speaker 2: I mean that is look at that. Look at the 1986 01:42:30,893 --> 01:42:34,013 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen World Cup team. Yeah, I mean that is 1987 01:42:34,053 --> 01:42:36,333 Speaker 2: a crazy team. Absolutely. 1988 01:42:36,732 --> 01:42:36,852 Speaker 6: Oh. 1989 01:42:36,893 --> 01:42:38,732 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1990 01:42:38,812 --> 01:42:42,012 Speaker 3: Love your thoughts on the greatest sporting coach in New Zealand? 1991 01:42:42,013 --> 01:42:43,173 Speaker 3: It is twenty two to four. 1992 01:42:43,173 --> 01:42:45,173 Speaker 2: Where are the grizz right Wiley fans out there? Where 1993 01:42:45,173 --> 01:42:46,173 Speaker 2: are the grizz Wiley fans? 1994 01:42:47,452 --> 01:42:51,012 Speaker 1: Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred 1995 01:42:51,013 --> 01:42:55,132 Speaker 1: and eighty ten eighty. It's Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons. 1996 01:42:54,532 --> 01:42:57,293 Speaker 3: News Talks'd be good afternoon, and we're talking about the 1997 01:42:57,372 --> 01:43:00,213 Speaker 3: greatest sporting coach New Zealand has ever seen. In your view, 1998 01:43:00,772 --> 01:43:04,173 Speaker 3: obviously it is objective for getting some great texts coming through. 1999 01:43:04,333 --> 01:43:06,533 Speaker 2: Do we consider coaches who have had to go overseas 2000 01:43:06,652 --> 01:43:08,692 Speaker 2: to coach in their sport because it's barely rerecks in 2001 01:43:08,692 --> 01:43:13,333 Speaker 2: New Zealand like Jason locked and Beach volleyball coach teams 2002 01:43:13,333 --> 01:43:15,452 Speaker 2: to Olympic gold medals, but not in New Zealand. We 2003 01:43:15,572 --> 01:43:18,053 Speaker 2: just don't fund or develop the sport here. I'm sure 2004 01:43:18,053 --> 01:43:20,492 Speaker 2: there are others. Yeah, we allow them, any of them. 2005 01:43:20,492 --> 01:43:23,852 Speaker 2: It's your criteria to be argued. Yep. You know you 2006 01:43:23,893 --> 01:43:25,532 Speaker 2: could be as I said before, you can be really 2007 01:43:25,532 --> 01:43:27,933 Speaker 2: successful with a great team, or you can turn an 2008 01:43:27,973 --> 01:43:30,173 Speaker 2: average team to become a very successful team, or an 2009 01:43:30,173 --> 01:43:32,612 Speaker 2: obscure sport into a success. All these kind of things. 2010 01:43:32,612 --> 01:43:34,612 Speaker 2: People might think McCullum as well in the cricketing realm. 2011 01:43:34,652 --> 01:43:37,372 Speaker 2: He's never coached in New Zealand, but certainly coaches overseas. 2012 01:43:37,412 --> 01:43:40,173 Speaker 2: Is Gey week bas Ball. That's a good point. Yeah, 2013 01:43:40,293 --> 01:43:41,812 Speaker 2: I mean you've got to say he'd be one of 2014 01:43:41,853 --> 01:43:45,652 Speaker 2: the most successful New Zealand culture coaches in terms of 2015 01:43:45,652 --> 01:43:52,013 Speaker 2: how much money is Yeah, exactly, Brady, very well here 2016 01:43:52,013 --> 01:43:52,532 Speaker 2: do you reckon? 2017 01:43:52,853 --> 01:43:56,133 Speaker 23: Yeah, I agree with the earlier ones in terms of 2018 01:43:56,253 --> 01:44:00,732 Speaker 23: after Lydiard, Like I think, yeah, pretty much can't go 2019 01:44:00,853 --> 01:44:04,213 Speaker 23: past after Lydiard. We've got with your deck Tonks and 2020 01:44:04,412 --> 01:44:08,333 Speaker 23: now I guess gorda Walker with the kayaking Maker, Yeah, 2021 01:44:08,372 --> 01:44:12,412 Speaker 23: had run for some level and I think it's not Yeah, 2022 01:44:12,412 --> 01:44:15,253 Speaker 23: well it's not just Lisa though, right, Like he's you know, 2023 01:44:15,372 --> 01:44:18,532 Speaker 23: you think Lydiad had snow, but then it created a 2024 01:44:18,612 --> 01:44:21,972 Speaker 23: group and Gordy's done that, Dick Tonks has done that. 2025 01:44:22,933 --> 01:44:25,973 Speaker 23: But I think the reason why Arthur pips them is 2026 01:44:27,532 --> 01:44:33,293 Speaker 23: Arthur pretty much invented fitness, like like he invented every 2027 01:44:33,333 --> 01:44:38,732 Speaker 23: sport and that needs endurance uses his principles, and that 2028 01:44:38,893 --> 01:44:42,452 Speaker 23: is Dick Tonks, that is Gordy Walker, it's horse racing. 2029 01:44:42,492 --> 01:44:47,093 Speaker 23: They trained horses after Lydiard's way like it, which is 2030 01:44:47,133 --> 01:44:51,572 Speaker 23: a long run, two hard sessions, you know, like the periodization. 2031 01:44:52,412 --> 01:44:56,892 Speaker 23: So he kind of invented, like you're just fitness in general. 2032 01:44:58,333 --> 01:45:00,492 Speaker 2: That's interesting because I love I love with the Lydiad 2033 01:45:00,492 --> 01:45:02,253 Speaker 2: and she is always hastening to me to go to 2034 01:45:02,253 --> 01:45:05,372 Speaker 2: the gym or go for a run. So runs in 2035 01:45:05,412 --> 01:45:07,732 Speaker 2: the family. She's in the blood. I hadn't never thought 2036 01:45:07,732 --> 01:45:10,932 Speaker 2: about that. Why she's constantly hassling me over fitness. It's 2037 01:45:10,973 --> 01:45:12,772 Speaker 2: in the blood for the family genetics. But you one 2038 01:45:12,812 --> 01:45:15,333 Speaker 2: hundred percent. Right back back in the day, people didn't 2039 01:45:15,372 --> 01:45:17,013 Speaker 2: really think it was a good idea to train a 2040 01:45:17,053 --> 01:45:19,652 Speaker 2: lot for fitness. They thought that there was this belief 2041 01:45:19,692 --> 01:45:21,253 Speaker 2: that you only had so many heart beats in your 2042 01:45:21,253 --> 01:45:23,892 Speaker 2: life and if you're wasting too many of them getting 2043 01:45:24,133 --> 01:45:27,053 Speaker 2: getting to exerting yourself too much, you might run out 2044 01:45:27,053 --> 01:45:29,652 Speaker 2: of them. They didn't realize that your heartbeats slowed down 2045 01:45:29,812 --> 01:45:31,932 Speaker 2: once you were fit, so it was better to do 2046 01:45:31,973 --> 01:45:34,532 Speaker 2: this stuff. But people weren't pushing themselves to the limits 2047 01:45:34,532 --> 01:45:37,853 Speaker 2: that Lydia had pushed people to until. 2048 01:45:38,213 --> 01:45:43,093 Speaker 23: Even even boxing. Like I listened to a podcast with 2049 01:45:43,333 --> 01:45:46,452 Speaker 23: Mike Tyson and he spoke about that on a Sunday 2050 01:45:46,492 --> 01:45:49,213 Speaker 23: here to hit the heavy bag for two hours without stopping, 2051 01:45:49,253 --> 01:45:51,893 Speaker 23: which is your Sunday long run, you know, like it. 2052 01:45:52,612 --> 01:45:55,452 Speaker 23: So yeah, like every single sport that needs any endurance 2053 01:45:55,772 --> 01:45:59,372 Speaker 23: as his aeries. And but then and then you think 2054 01:45:59,412 --> 01:46:01,692 Speaker 23: of new coaches in New Zealand and you've got you know, 2055 01:46:01,772 --> 01:46:06,852 Speaker 23: Eugene Berriman City kickboxing pretty yeah, very. 2056 01:46:06,692 --> 01:46:11,372 Speaker 2: Successful, I mean into in terms of high profile, I mean. 2057 01:46:11,412 --> 01:46:14,013 Speaker 23: And getting like lydiad was really a cheap code, like 2058 01:46:14,093 --> 01:46:18,732 Speaker 23: he invented something no one new, so his athletes were 2059 01:46:18,772 --> 01:46:22,053 Speaker 23: just phenomenal at the time, where Eugene Berryman might be 2060 01:46:22,133 --> 01:46:23,492 Speaker 23: more of a guy who can get. 2061 01:46:23,333 --> 01:46:23,852 Speaker 22: In your head. 2062 01:46:24,013 --> 01:46:27,812 Speaker 2: I often think often thinking about the Fosbury Fosbury flop 2063 01:46:28,532 --> 01:46:31,652 Speaker 2: in that regard, and you come up with a new 2064 01:46:31,692 --> 01:46:34,173 Speaker 2: thing and then you have an advantage for a while. Yeah, 2065 01:46:34,213 --> 01:46:36,692 Speaker 2: but you know those techniques of Lydia, they went on 2066 01:46:36,772 --> 01:46:39,013 Speaker 2: to be used, you know, not directly by him, but 2067 01:46:39,213 --> 01:46:42,372 Speaker 2: you know John Walkers. 2068 01:46:41,973 --> 01:46:46,612 Speaker 23: Now there's yeah, et Lorraine Moller, you know, all of 2069 01:46:46,692 --> 01:46:50,253 Speaker 23: them came throughout his principles.

I mean, just the 2130 01:49:50,452 --> 01:49:52,812 Speaker 2: sheer success and it's not just Lisa Carrington that he coaches, 2131 01:49:52,853 --> 01:49:54,972 Speaker 2: but the sheer success he said with Lisa Carrington's enough 2132 01:49:55,093 --> 01:49:57,572 Speaker 2: to to definitely get you in the conversation. 2133 01:49:57,732 --> 01:50:03,253 Speaker 3: Ye go in the boat, Uh, Simon, what's your thoughts? 2134 01:50:04,333 --> 01:50:04,492 Speaker 21: Well? 2135 01:50:05,053 --> 01:50:08,893 Speaker 22: I met Arthur Lydiad. He was the full pack, you know, 2136 01:50:09,173 --> 01:50:13,772 Speaker 22: he had aura and charisma, drive And one thing that 2137 01:50:14,253 --> 01:50:18,492 Speaker 22: Favir listeners haven't mentioned was he was the I think 2138 01:50:18,612 --> 01:50:22,372 Speaker 22: the first sports nutritionist as well. You know, like he 2139 01:50:22,532 --> 01:50:25,333 Speaker 22: could just you know, it didn't matter if you were 2140 01:50:26,452 --> 01:50:29,253 Speaker 22: a Peter Snoll or a Halberg, if you were the 2141 01:50:29,372 --> 01:50:33,253 Speaker 22: average person in the street, he could give you that list. 2142 01:50:34,253 --> 01:50:39,732 Speaker 22: And yeah, I just found him completely inspiring. There's another 2143 01:50:39,853 --> 01:50:44,692 Speaker 22: couple as well, Marilyn Marshall. I don't know if you've 2144 01:50:44,732 --> 01:50:47,772 Speaker 22: ever heard of her. He's a double international. She was 2145 01:50:47,812 --> 01:50:53,532 Speaker 22: a pioneer of women's football. She coached women's football and softball. 2146 01:50:53,612 --> 01:50:56,093 Speaker 22: She captain New Zealand and both those sports as well 2147 01:50:56,732 --> 01:50:59,093 Speaker 22: as a coach. Her players would dine a ditch for 2148 01:50:59,253 --> 01:51:06,652 Speaker 22: her because she was honest, she was strategic, and she 2149 01:51:07,492 --> 01:51:12,612 Speaker 22: was somebody that mentored young players through her experience. I 2150 01:51:13,652 --> 01:51:18,732 Speaker 22: thought that she was outstanding. And another one that comes 2151 01:51:18,772 --> 01:51:22,532 Speaker 22: to mind immediately, I've had a career around sport with 2152 01:51:22,612 --> 01:51:29,452 Speaker 22: my photography. Louri Mains many. Yeah, Lurie Mains was a 2153 01:51:29,612 --> 01:51:36,213 Speaker 22: seriously good coach, underrated, but I think that you watch 2154 01:51:36,253 --> 01:51:39,772 Speaker 22: what he achieved with the nineteen ninety five team that 2155 01:51:40,133 --> 01:51:44,333 Speaker 22: went on under John Hart to beat the South Africans, 2156 01:51:44,412 --> 01:51:47,732 Speaker 22: you know, I think that you know, he deserves some 2157 01:51:47,853 --> 01:51:48,852 Speaker 22: recognition as well. 2158 01:51:49,053 --> 01:51:51,293 Speaker 2: And the other one and a good Dunedin Land as well, 2159 01:51:51,372 --> 01:51:52,012 Speaker 2: so that counts. 2160 01:51:52,293 --> 01:51:52,492 Speaker 14: Yeah. 2161 01:51:52,933 --> 01:51:54,532 Speaker 22: And the other one is Sir Brian Lahore. 2162 01:51:54,973 --> 01:51:59,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a few teas. It was really really interesting 2163 01:51:59,333 --> 01:52:02,412 Speaker 2: I concept that Sir Brian Lahore because the difference between 2164 01:52:02,452 --> 01:52:06,132 Speaker 2: professional and amateur rugby in New Zealand and that transition 2165 01:52:06,253 --> 01:52:09,492 Speaker 2: between those two stages is quite quite something. It's hard 2166 01:52:09,492 --> 01:52:12,293 Speaker 2: to get a head around the idea of someone working 2167 01:52:12,333 --> 01:52:14,213 Speaker 2: on a farm one day and then being called up 2168 01:52:14,253 --> 01:52:17,013 Speaker 2: to the All Blacks the next as opposed to you know, 2169 01:52:17,093 --> 01:52:19,612 Speaker 2: the current situation where you're a professional and you train 2170 01:52:19,853 --> 01:52:23,093 Speaker 2: all you know all week for the game. And so 2171 01:52:23,253 --> 01:52:26,812 Speaker 2: Brian Hall sort of transitioned that era, didn't he he did? 2172 01:52:27,053 --> 01:52:29,933 Speaker 22: He was he was the pioneer because I believe that 2173 01:52:30,412 --> 01:52:33,412 Speaker 22: he was. He was very professional. Had the had the 2174 01:52:33,532 --> 01:52:37,772 Speaker 22: era come earlier, he still would have been very relevant 2175 01:52:37,893 --> 01:52:43,813 Speaker 22: and would have been that that again, you know, strategic, motivating, 2176 01:52:45,213 --> 01:52:49,652 Speaker 22: fair and reasonable and and and his his players would 2177 01:52:49,772 --> 01:52:52,173 Speaker 22: would go into bat for him, and that they did. 2178 01:52:52,652 --> 01:52:54,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a huge part of it as well, 2179 01:52:54,213 --> 01:52:56,692 Speaker 2: isn't it. You know your processes. But also if people 2180 01:52:56,692 --> 01:52:58,692 Speaker 2: are willing to listen to you and follow you and 2181 01:52:59,253 --> 01:53:01,133 Speaker 2: you can motivate them, that's a huge part of being 2182 01:53:01,133 --> 01:53:01,692 Speaker 2: a great coach. 2183 01:53:02,412 --> 01:53:05,372 Speaker 22: Well, that's why Lydiad was the best I think. I 2184 01:53:05,492 --> 01:53:08,173 Speaker 22: think it was just an absolute full package. And so 2185 01:53:08,452 --> 01:53:12,333 Speaker 22: many other sports learned from internationally, not just in New Zealand, 2186 01:53:12,812 --> 01:53:16,053 Speaker 22: learned from from what he applied and and you know 2187 01:53:16,412 --> 01:53:19,412 Speaker 22: the fact that you know, he was just such a pioneer. 2188 01:53:19,532 --> 01:53:21,932 Speaker 2: But so Simon, you sound like you signed quite knowledgeable 2189 01:53:22,053 --> 01:53:22,612 Speaker 2: on Lydiad. 2190 01:53:22,692 --> 01:53:22,893 Speaker 8: Have you? 2191 01:53:23,213 --> 01:53:25,293 Speaker 2: Is there a particular book you've read on Lydia? Is 2192 01:53:25,333 --> 01:53:28,972 Speaker 2: there like the ultimate Arthur Lydiad Book. 2193 01:53:30,253 --> 01:53:30,293 Speaker 8: No. 2194 01:53:31,372 --> 01:53:35,853 Speaker 22: I just spent time with him, right and as a photographer, 2195 01:53:35,973 --> 01:53:40,053 Speaker 22: I had him in a chair for an hour and 2196 01:53:41,893 --> 01:53:46,612 Speaker 22: I felt like he picently uplifted my photography as well. 2197 01:53:48,372 --> 01:53:51,293 Speaker 22: He challenged you. But he was at that stage, he 2198 01:53:51,412 --> 01:53:53,772 Speaker 22: was in his eighties and he was a he was 2199 01:53:53,772 --> 01:53:57,852 Speaker 22: an ambassador for the for arthritis New Zealand And and 2200 01:53:58,013 --> 01:54:02,372 Speaker 22: he was. He was just magnificent at getting people to 2201 01:54:03,013 --> 01:54:04,732 Speaker 22: to do the right things. 2202 01:54:05,053 --> 01:54:06,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much for your call.
