Of course, 75 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,279 Speaker 2: who are on fire. She called them fascists. 76 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 10: Reform better ballback if people actually look at the dictionary 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 10: definition and of what fascist means, and then look at 78 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 10: what this labor. 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 11: Government has done. 80 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 10: What does Kirs Starmer done his counciled elections now for 81 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 10: a grand total around seven and a half million people 82 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 10: in a short. 83 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: Period of time. 84 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 10: It's Justice secretaries of drawing the right to jury trials. 85 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: He's got a point, by the way, as far as 86 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: horan Goo as a US strike seems off, there's a 87 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: bit of taco for you, and we're getting more detail 88 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: around what actually happened on the streets. 89 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 12: This was spread across the country huge numbers. Millions of 90 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 12: people were coming out in protests. They then turned off 91 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 12: the internet and in that digital darkness wittled the killing started. 92 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Then in Britain or Wales, as it turns out, they 93 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: found an old Roman villa, which archaeologically speaking, is a 94 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: big deal. 95 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 9: When we think about Roman Wales, we really tend to 96 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 9: think about a landscape of conquest and colonization. You know, 97 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 9: we took a lot about forts and fortlets and marching 98 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 9: camps and Roman roads, and it's not famed Whales for 99 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 9: its Roman villas. So this kind of in some ways 100 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 9: rewrites the book. 101 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: Thought, that's not really a thing. I mean, you want 102 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 2: a proper fort if you care, you can only afford 103 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: a fort. Let give it up. Health News.

He now says. I 120 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: don't know why he says this. It's unlikely they will 121 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: overturn Trump's move on tariff. So watch this space this 122 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: week twelve past six. 123 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Call 124 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: It by News Talks. 125 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: Evy looking on to the catch up with Steve Lader 126 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: on the program.

Of course, they're more than tripled 176 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 5: off to a flying start this year. So far in 177 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, Mike, they're up nearly four percent. So 178 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 5: what's driven it all? Wed, It's some really positive news. 179 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 5: At the end of December that was the largest ever 180 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 5: contract win with the US Space Development Agency. That's worth 181 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 5: run about one point four billion Kiwi eighteen satellites, next 182 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: generation missile warning and tracking system And we know obviously 183 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 5: defense is a big thematic. It's the tracking hypersonic missiles 184 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 5: that's a big priority. Add on options that could lift 185 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 5: it to as much as a billion US in terms 186 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: of the contract, and that goes on top of the 187 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 5: five than fifteen million contract they already had so US 188 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 5: military work that now dominates the order book. It's really 189 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 5: been validated as a trusted defense and national security supply 190 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 5: in the US Secretary of State he visited them as 191 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 5: well and praised them as a nimble alternative to legacy 192 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: defense firms. 193 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: Big broken firm. 194 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 5: They upgrade the shares on Fridays. That got them going 195 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 5: and really buying also into this neutron story as well. 196 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 5: So that's the next generation reusable rocket. It's a large 197 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: one that's going to. 198 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 11: Launch this year. 199 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: As you mentioned, great news of Pero Beck. The evaluation 200 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 5: is over fifty billion year and also for more than 201 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: thirty thousand kiwis who own shares in the company and 202 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 5: Twine will tell Mike where they're going to ruffle even 203 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: more feathers. It's been some suggestions that they could build 204 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 5: their own satellite constellation. Wow, and that would compete with 205 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: SpaceX as starlink, So that really would be something. 206 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: What's your read on the US market? I mean oil 207 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: got wobbly last week and then it didn't. And you know, 208 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: we still love gold and silver because everything's weird. But 209 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: the US market, I mean, it just keeps on keeping on. 210 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 5: That's right, despite everything that's been thrown at you. Obviously 211 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 5: you mentioned Greenland Worth to see where that goes. Trump 212 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 5: threatened lifting tariffs on credit card company also reducing the 213 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 5: lifting teriffs but also reducing the rates on credit card companies. 214 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 5: So and of course this Department of Justice criminal investigation 215 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 5: into Drome power that was the big thing earlier last week. 216 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 5: So this center's on the turn half billion renovation of 217 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 5: their HQ and Washington for the Fed, it's around about 218 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 5: seven ound a million over run terms of costs. Powell 219 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 5: says it's not about wrongdoing. He denies it's a bit. 220 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 5: It's not about concrete or steel. It's really an attempt to 221 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 5: influence what they're doing with rates, so they're not really 222 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 5: carrying them as quickly as the white Head likes. So 223 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: someone say, why is he bothering the our pel's going 224 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: to step down and mate? Is this public punishment for 225 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 5: defying the White House's bushes? Or maybe is it because 226 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 5: he can actually stay on till twenty twenty eight, so 227 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 5: they only have one vite, but he could actually stand 228 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 5: as a governor be a key influencer. Obviously Trump he 229 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 5: wants to get rates down quicker. There's poles are looking 230 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 5: so good. It's got the midterms over this year. Cost 231 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 5: of living a big thing. Or is it actually possibly 232 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 5: that this is a genuine, I suppose attempt to look 233 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 5: at accountability. So central banks they don't have CEOs the 234 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 5: backstops of the governor. Other central banks that have been 235 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 5: criticized for going over budget, look at our own ibn Z. 236 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 5: There's been see conjecture of age in all his departure. 237 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 5: They doubled the size they're aorking offers as a prosy 238 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 5: fit out to boot and Nicola Willis also made a 239 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 5: point last week that they need to show greater budget 240 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 5: trey restraints. So it does that outlie. But yeah, reality, 241 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: it looks like it's a potentially attempt in the US 242 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 5: to punish or intimidate policy makers. 243 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 11: There is a serious line to cross. 244 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: As you say, investors don't seem too bothered at this point, 245 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 5: but I'm sure we'll be continuing to. 246 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 11: Watch this very closely. 247 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: Numbers please, so this is T five hundred and. 248 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 5: Then NEASEIK were both down er point six percent on Friday. 249 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 5: The Dow was down point one seven percent, forty nine 250 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 5: three five nine foot C one hundred down to touch 251 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 5: ten to two three five.

These are the 340 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: rusted on, hardcore Trump lovers, people who strongly approved of 341 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: what he's doing, has dropped from seventy eight down to seventy. 342 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: It's not as bad as ell the easiest pole this morning, 343 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: but it's still pretty bad anyway. More from Richard Arnold shortly, 344 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: there's always going to end up being a problem. Turns 345 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: out a lot of Kiwis who bailed for the green 346 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: Green Grass of Australia have strike trouble. So Gold Coast 347 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: Charity is telling us too many are arriving ill prepared, 348 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: without jobs, without housing, without savings. In some cases the 349 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: charity itself a funding returned flight. David Cooper's the CEO 350 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: and director of the New Zealand Immigration Partners and with 351 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: us David, morning to you, Good morning mate. Is this 352 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: an insight into a slice of trans Tasman movement that's 353 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: probably always been the case. In other words, people just 354 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: go out, Sonny, the be is a bit cheaper. I 355 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: might try my luck over there. 356 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 8: Oh look, I think that's true, Mike. I think there's 357 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 8: a lot of surprises for people that jump across the 358 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 8: Tasman things they haven't thought about, and they get surprised 359 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 8: higher taxes, some things are more expensive, their cars, registering 360 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 8: a car, ensuring a car, a lot of hidden taxes 361 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 8: that they don't know about, and it all comes a 362 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 8: bit of a shock. 363 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: What percentage do you reckon of all the people into 364 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: is not diminishing how big a problem? Says, but what 365 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: percentage of people that have left this country haven't done 366 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: their homework? In other words, they are a bit sick? 367 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: Oh, look, hard to put a number on it. 368 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 8: Might I guess something like twenty twenty five percent Because 369 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 8: it's a little bit like you know, keywaks that have 370 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 8: always done are ease to whether it's Australia or the 371 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 8: UK or Europe. I think there is a fair slice 372 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 8: of people who get surprised. 373 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: So what do you do? I mean, is this going 374 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: to be this? Is this a problem for Australia or 375 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: is this eventually going to be a problem for us 376 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: as they lob back look for a job and can't 377 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 2: find one here either. 378 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 8: Well, no, I don't think so, because I do think 379 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 8: the vast majority of people who go do their homework. 380 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 8: I mean, I've had two children go to Australia. If 381 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 8: they got jobs lined up before they got there, they 382 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 8: got accommodation sort of and it all worked out and 383 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 8: then totally I think that's very true. Are there going 384 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 8: to be people that get burnt and come back. Absolutely. 385 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 8: There are also people this is something that people don't 386 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 8: talk about very much, who actually by great to Australia 387 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 8: from other countries of the world, don't like it and 388 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 8: move to New Zealand and they have very successful lives here. 389 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: Interesting. I just I find it personally inconceivable that I 390 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: would go and move countries with no idea of what 391 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: awaits me when I land, or am I just weird? 392 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: No, I don't think you are well. 393 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 8: Others may have a different roof, but look, I think 394 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 8: I think the fact is that, you know, there are 395 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 8: people who think it's the lucky country and there are 396 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 8: jobs everywhere and it's all going to work out, and 397 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 8: the fact is it doesn't. And you know, I get 398 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 8: disillusion because New Zealand we're so good at bashing ourselves, 399 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 8: but gosh, we live in one of the best countries 400 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 8: of the world and we need to appreciate it a 401 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 8: whole lot more. And mister Trump's not after Stuart Island. 402 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: What more could we ask? 403 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 2: That's a very good point. Your sense broadeness out, your 404 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: sense of the year in terms of demand to come 405 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 2: to this country and arrivals and immigration. How do you 406 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 2: think the story's going to unfold. 407 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 8: Look, I think the demand is only increasing. We've started 408 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 8: the year off with the phones really burning hot, particularly 409 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 8: that investor visa that's been very successful. We're not far 410 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 8: off hitting three billion dollars in less than a year, Mike. 411 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 8: The interest in New Zealand is definitely growing and it 412 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 8: has to do more. 413 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: Good good good. Nice to talk to you, David. We'll 414 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: talk again throughout the year, I'm sure. David Cooper, who's 415 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: the CEO and director of New Zealand Immigration Partners. Just 416 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 2: for the record, although he alluded to the fact that 417 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: there could be people who think I'm slightly weird, that's 418 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: not true. It's official too. My mate Sebastian wrote to 419 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: me over the weekend and he said, I'm off to Brisbane. 420 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: His partner had been laid off and restructuring. He said, 421 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: we're off to Brisbane. He's a bright guy. Partner's bright 422 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: person and they will land well and do okay. But 423 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: I just thought, jeez, you know when one partner gets 424 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: laid off, you have the discussion and you think do 425 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 2: we go to Australia. So it's still obvious the thing, 426 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: and I wished him the very best. He supplies my wine, 427 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: so he knows you're weird for sure, exactly, So I'm 428 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: in the market for a new supplier, as they say. 429 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: Nineteen to two seven. 430 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 431 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: by News Talks EP. 432 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: Greg mentioned earlier on the Deary Auction, which is coming 433 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 2: up again this week. So a couple of weeks ago, 434 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: a week and a half ago, whatever, big big numbers 435 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: if you missed it over the holiday period. So we 436 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: were back. When we left you, things were looking a 437 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: bit doer, including Fonterra. They'd come to the party and 438 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: lowered their milk gate price and we thought, is where's 439 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: the demand gone and are things going to change? Well, 440 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: boy did they whole milk seven percent, skim milk fire 441 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: point four, but a three point eight. So they came 442 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: back with alacrity. Big shift out of the Middle East 443 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 2: share of buying doubled, so the Middle Easter back and 444 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: so we think we might be on to a little 445 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: bit of good news. So we'll stand by all that. 446 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: On Wednesday sixteen. 447 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: To international correspondence with ends an eye insurance peace of 448 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 449 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: Todd Richard, I'm happy to you here mine, How are you? 450 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 14: I'm well, welcome back, Michael. 451 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: Good and better off HEU than Minnesota. Minneapolis for several reasons. 452 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 14: Yeah, the pedagon is already in fifteen hundred soldiers fossil 453 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 14: wall deployment there, so the standoff not easing. Minneapolis Mayor 454 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 14: Jacob Fryar is saying today. 455 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 15: Never thought in a million years that we would be 456 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 15: invaded by our own federal government. 457 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 14: Well, the soldiers are from two infantry battalions with the 458 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 14: Army's eleventh Airborn. If Trump green lights that deployment, he 459 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 14: would use the Insurrection Act, dating way back to eighteen 460 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 14: o seven, which allows a president to respond militarily to 461 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 14: quote unquote a rebellion. So this would be extraordinary. Trump 462 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 14: is saying that he will do this if needed. So 463 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 14: is he dying this back? 464 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: Maybe? 465 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 14: Back in December, of course, Trump moved to endeployment of 466 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 14: National Guard troops in la Chicago, and Portland after a 467 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 14: sixty three ruling by the US Supreme Court, raising concerns 468 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 14: about how the Guard could carry out local laws. There 469 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 14: are still National Guards and duty in Washington, d C. 470 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 14: So all debate is pending. Meantime, it is bitterly cold 471 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 14: on the streets of Minneapolis. Just checked today down to 472 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 14: minus twenty today, Celsius. That hasn't stopped anti ICE protests 473 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 14: like this, which have followed the shooting deaths of Renee 474 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 14: Good and the wounding of another man. Brown Shirts is 475 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 14: yelling this is the federal agents in masks line up 476 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 14: against them. ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been very aggressive, 477 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 14: got to say, sometimes smashing car windows of people that stops, 478 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 14: forcing folks to the ground and so on.

I mean, what's his domain with this anyway? 500 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 14: Saying the Trump team is insistent that Greenland must be 501 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 14: done part of the US of Aas of Trump has 502 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 14: announced you tarrifs on a number of European countries over 503 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 14: the issue. At Denmark, which controls Greenlanders and autonomous territory 504 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 14: as we all know now, will be hit with a 505 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 14: ten percent tariff and or goods sent to the US 506 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 14: from the start of feb Others backing Denmark, including Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, 507 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 14: Finland and the Netherlands also will be subject to that 508 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 14: ten percent tariff if they do not relent, says Bess. 509 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 4: They believe that the Europeans will understand that the best 510 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 4: outcome is for the US to maintain or receive control 511 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 4: of Greenland. 512 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 14: Does he really me argues that with the with the 513 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 14: snows melting over there, and he could open up new 514 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 14: sea lanes and spur new economic battles over rare earth minerals. 515 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 4: And so on and on. 516 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 14: He says this could lead to war, and that the 517 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 14: Trump moves US supposedly to deter the idea of any 518 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 14: future conflict. Does that make any sense, wonders Democrat criscoons. 519 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 15: It's unclear why we would spend any money on acquiring 520 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 15: Greenland when. 521 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 7: We effectively have all the access to it we already want. 522 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 14: Denmichael ready has offered the US any military and other 523 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 14: access they desire under the native umbrella. Denmichael also, of course, 524 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 14: suffered more losses per capita in the wake of September 525 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 14: the eleventh, and even the US did. They have been 526 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 14: one of this country's best allies for decades and decades, 527 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 14: while NATO, of course has created a block for peace 528 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 14: since the end of World War II, in alliance now 529 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 14: being put in jeopardy. 530 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: Right see Wednesday, Richard Arnold stateside Andrew Ritmand by the 531 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: ways that E you observe a foreign editor, he's with 532 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 2: us after seven o'clock, I assume that'll cut a deal. 533 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: At the end of the day. NATO is not going 534 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: to end America is not going to buy Greenland. Bell 535 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: cutter deal Anyway, speaking of which, and there's a couple 536 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: of things to note here. This is where Trump gets weird, 537 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: if he didn't already think he was weird. He's banned 538 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: institutional investor home purchases. So in America, a lot of 539 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: institutions come along there buy up homes. Now that's preventing 540 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: people buying homes. Homes. Housing is an issue in America 541 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: the midterms, as I mentioned to coming up, he's banning that, 542 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: very left wing move for a conservative president. Meantime, he's 543 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: also talking about a limit on credit card debt. Why 544 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 2: because everyone owes a lot of money, So he's talking 545 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: about limiting debt once again, very left wing sort of move. 546 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: Here's another trend you want to watch, and this might 547 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 2: blow up in his face. So India, their trade deficit 548 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: for December was twenty one percent for the year at 549 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: twenty five billion dollars. Now what's driving that, Well, they're 550 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: not exporting as much to America. Where are they exporting Beijing? 551 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 2: Are they exporting a lot to Beijing? You bet they are. 552 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 2: China is also exporting a lot, but not to America. 553 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: So exports to America are down, but exports to the 554 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 2: world are up. So India and China are doing very nicely, 555 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 2: thank you. So are they being affected by the tariffs? 556 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: Not really, They've just gone and found new markets. And 557 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 2: if that continues, all the gold that he talks about 558 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: arriving in America and the tariffs and the bills are 559 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: going to change dramatically. And the economy he keeps mentioning 560 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: being so brilliant, no one believes them, of course, because 561 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: it isn't. That gets to be a problem. As the 562 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: boat comes up in October and November later on this year, 563 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: Turn Away from seven. 564 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: My Hosking Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities News. 565 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: Togstad been here away from seven. One of the more 566 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: interesting insights into the American economy is air travel. And 567 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: this is what they call the K shaped economy. I 568 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 2: talked a bit about this last year. I believe we've 569 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: probably got something similar. In fact, most Western economy is 570 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: probably have the same thing K shaped economy. In other words, 571 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: if you've got a job and you're doing okay, you fine. 572 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: You don't know what everyone's talking about when you talk 573 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: about a cost of living crisis. So main cabin ticket 574 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 2: sales in America for aeroplanes is down seven percent, So 575 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: you think, well, that's not very good. It's but of 576 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: a recession. Premium cabin front of the planes' up ninth. 577 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: So you got a job and you're doing okay. You fine. Now, 578 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: of course this year lucks and after seven thirty, but 579 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: this year is going to be very much about the economy. 580 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 2: Economies win and lose elections, and there's enough there to 581 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: feel reasonably bullish if you want the government re elected. 582 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: As far as I can work out this year, a 583 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 2: lot can change in a year. Of course, I'm assuming 584 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: the elections in November October November. There's no reason to 585 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: think it'll be any other time. But the manufacturing greg 586 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: gave us. I mean, the manufacturing numbers were stonking, and 587 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: you can't argue with them because they're facts. It's not 588 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: a mood, it's not a vibe. It's numbers. It's factual 589 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: consumer confidence, which is a move that is a vibe, 590 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: highest level in more than four years. It's up three 591 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: to one hundred and one point five. So we're in 592 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: expansionary territory, which is good. Inflation expectations are down, food 593 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 2: seems to be coming under control. Read a story over 594 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: was it last week somebody who's going the price of 595 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: white bread's up sixty percent. I mean, don't buy white bread. 596 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 4: It's crap. 597 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: It's bad for you. Business optimisms up seventeen points seventeen 598 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 2: business optimism, and they think unemployment may have peaked at 599 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: five point three. So at one point they said it 600 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: could be as bad as six. They could tailed that 601 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: back to maybe five five, but Westpac I note last 602 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: week was suggesting that maybe five point three is about it. 603 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: So that's a lot of good economic news in which 604 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: to launch your political year. Don't you reckon five away 605 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: from seven? 606 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: All the ins and the outs. 607 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: It's the fiz with business tiber take your business productivity 608 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: to the next level. 609 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, so what are we got? Full twelve 610 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: month inflation number is coming out Friday week thirtieth of 611 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: jan that's when Stat's going to publish the December data. 612 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 2: What are the banks thinking about inflation? Well, the consensus 613 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: appears to be about three percent, so if they're being 614 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: on that, that's zero three for the bank. So that's encouraging. 615 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: ASB picking three point one ASB and Westpac predicting three. 616 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: How can ASB predict three point one in the ASB 617 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: and the west Pac. Did I mistype that one of them? 618 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 2: Am Z libly A and Z in west Pac three 619 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: B and Z two point nine. All the banks are 620 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: predicting inflation to ease throughout the year. So it's at 621 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: three now they think, and trending down, which indicates capacity. 622 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: I'm assuming there's also agreement over the RB and what 623 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: they're going to do with the cash rate next month. 624 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: That's a hold. There is no reasonably that number, that 625 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: GDP number that came out for Q three at one 626 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: point one. I mean, that was ridiculous, a good ridiculous. 627 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: So there's no way in the world that you got 628 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: that number and you're then going to open up the 629 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: year and Feburary and go we'll need another cut, thank 630 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: you very much. So unless something goes awry, which I 631 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: don't think it did in Q four, I think Q 632 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: four is the same as Q three, isn't it. I mean, 633 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: just think back to December, what you were doing in 634 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: November December. You felt about the same in November December 635 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: as you did in August, didn't you. So Therefore, if 636 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: it's one point one in the third quarter, it's about 637 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,959 Speaker 2: one in the fourth quarter. That's good growth. I mean, 638 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: you can't argue with those numbers anyway, IIan ZID don't 639 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: actually as regards the Reserve Bank of the CASHWAT, they 640 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: don't see a hike hike until February of twenty seven, 641 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 2: where this could get interesting. I don't have time to 642 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: tell you about this at the moment, but most disturbing 643 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: a written article about the Australian dollar summers suggesting it 644 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 2: could appreciate to ninety US by the end of the year. 645 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: Are we going to do something similar? No, we are not. 646 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: In the mat is a major. 647 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Problem asking the questions others won't the mic asking breakfast, 648 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: we're the defender, embrace the impossible news tomsad bearing. 649 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: Seven past seven. So the political year underway today? Were 650 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister's State of the Nation. We're not expecting 651 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 2: apparently specific policy, more a sense of where we're at 652 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: and where we're going and whether the current lot had 653 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: the wherewith all to carry on past October November Prime 654 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: Minister are after the half hour, but Stephen Joyce, former 655 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: Finance Minister, is with us. Good morning, Good morning, Michael, 656 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 2: how are you very well? Indeed, happy new year, fixing 657 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: new year, good to see you back fixing the basics. 658 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 2: Building the future, I'm told is the theme. How malleable 659 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: do you think the elector is to sort of a 660 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 2: bit of imaging and ideas at this time of year? 661 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 4: Oh well, I think you've got to have some a 662 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 4: story to tell. I think it's really important. Actually, I 663 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 4: think that's as a former campaign manager of about five elections, 664 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 4: I think that's as good as any and probably indicative 665 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 4: of where things are at. You've got to fix the 666 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 4: basics and you've got to get things hitting in the 667 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 4: right direction. I mean, that's the reality of it, and 668 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 4: that's what the public expects. So tick for that, and 669 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 4: it's just execution. 670 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: The GDP numbers look good, Q three very good. Manufacturing 671 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 2: looks good, the confidence looks good. There's a lot of 672 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: material there to work with if you want to, isn't it. 673 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: Yes, there is. 674 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 4: But I think also there and it is looking more positive. 675 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 4: A lot of people won't be feeling it yet, and 676 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 4: I think it's important for the Prime Minister to day 677 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 4: to sort of level with the public that the acknowledges 678 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 4: that things are being tough. He knows it's been hard work, 679 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 4: you know, we were in a big hole. We're working 680 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 4: our way out of it, but it's not done yet, 681 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 4: and there's some positive science, but not oversell it. I 682 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: think at this point, I think you've got to you've 683 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 4: got to talk about where people's reality is and then 684 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 4: and then talk about what we're going to do this year. 685 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 4: And it's a challenging year still. I mean, it's positive 686 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 4: from our perspective, but you know, we just have to 687 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 4: watch the news, you know, for for about four hours 688 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 4: to know just how turbulent the world is. And if 689 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 4: I was so, I'd be talking about how important it 690 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 4: is for the country to be match fit in a 691 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 4: way that it probably hasn't had to have previously because 692 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 4: we are in very, very uncertain times. So we've got 693 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 4: to do some of the hard yards to make sure 694 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 4: that we that we keep growing and that actually what 695 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 4: what's started actually turns into something pretty special. 696 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 2: It's an interesting point. There's a lot of in the 697 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: the the chatterati. They're they're standing by this morning for 698 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: him to say something about Venezuela and stuff. Are we 699 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 2: gripped by that? Are we gripped by a New Zealand's 700 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: view of the wider world and it's tumult or are 701 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: we more interested in jobs and finance and the economy. 702 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 4: Well, I don't think the public are expecting the Prime 703 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 4: Minister to offer an hour by our commentary on what's 704 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 4: happening in the US, and he would take up all 705 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 4: this time if he did that. So I think they're 706 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 4: expecting them to acknowledge that and then focus on what 707 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 4: he can do and what we can do as a 708 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: country to succeed in tough times, I mean in in 709 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 4: turbulent times, and that's really what they are expecting of them. 710 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 4: The other thing I think that's important, whether today or later, 711 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 4: is for the government to lay out the importance of 712 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 4: National and the coalition, because I think you're going to 713 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 4: find all year everybody positioning naturally enough act in New Zealand. First, 714 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 4: they're going to be positioning their importance for it. And 715 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 4: I think National was yet to land on a description 716 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 4: of itself and its role in the coalition. And I 717 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 4: think that role is as a solid foundation, the sort 718 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 4: of the ballost, the core of the coalition. It's not 719 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 4: particularly sexy, but it's important and I think that's something 720 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 4: that they have to talk about more because they can't 721 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 4: talk about it as if there's not going to be 722 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 4: a coalition because clearly there is after the next selection 723 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 4: of the way all the polls are looking. So what's 724 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 4: the important part? Why are they the important part? Why 725 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 4: are they glue to hold this thing together? That's really important. 726 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 2: It's going to be great year. Appreciate time as always 727 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 2: Stephen Joyce's former finance Minister of Courts. It's the most 728 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: fascinating thing for me because the media generally don't like 729 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 2: the government, and the media every time they need to 730 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 2: position themselves, Whinston will position themselves. David Seymour positioned himself 731 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 2: as separate to the National Party. So how much of today, 732 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: for example, is about the National Party? How much of 733 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 2: it's about the coalition? Every time somebody says something to go, 734 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 2: oh cracks in the coalition, ooh cracks in the you know, 735 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 2: how are they going to do that this year without 736 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: becoming a thing? Eleven past seven? So how about Greenland? 737 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 2: Of all the mad stuff? The US presidents Ofmerston threatening 738 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 2: your allies with tariffs until the deals cut seems pretty 739 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 2: seems pretty out there twenty five percent unless you play 740 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: things his way. Andrew ret is that EU observe as 741 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: foreign editor and as well as Andrew morning. 742 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 17: To you, Good morning, thanks for having me, not at all. 743 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 2: What's the line here between crazy and what actually might 744 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: unfold in Greenland? 745 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 11: Huh? 746 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 17: Well, I guess that's what you ambassadors are trying to 747 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 17: decide right now. They're meeting for kind of emergency talks 748 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 17: on transatlantic relations. As we speak, we're waiting for diplomats 749 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 17: to send out some information by the WhatsApp group WhatsApp groups, 750 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,959 Speaker 17: but we haven't heard anything yet, and I guess people 751 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 17: will be looking forward to Davos this week, you know, 752 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 17: when the leaders meet ay to Way to see if 753 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 17: there can be some walking back on this new crisis. 754 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: Do many people in Europe see this for? I think 755 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 2: what it is a negotiating stance and nothing. You know, 756 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 2: America is not buying Greenland. The twenty five percent tariffs 757 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 2: aren't going to happen. Something else will eventually. Do they 758 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 2: see it that way? 759 00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 11: Well? 760 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean obviously President Trump has a history of 761 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 17: flip flopping on all sorts of things, whether it's tariffs 762 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 17: or foreign policy decisions. So there's still some hope that 763 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 17: this is just his crazy way of negotiating. And you 764 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 17: heard that today, I think from Prime Minister Maloney of Italy, 765 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 17: who said she'd spoken to him and that he seemed 766 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 17: interested in listening to Europe. The Irish leader Michael Martin 767 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 17: also said that it was a bit premature to talk 768 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 17: of you trade retaliations, you know, until things have been 769 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 17: sort of until the temperature have been tested with Washington. 770 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 17: So there are some optimists, but you know, alongside that, 771 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 17: some people are worried that this trade walk could still 772 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 17: just be American soft powers. Some people are still worried 773 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 17: that the threat of use of force is serious. You 774 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 17: heard that being voiced by Spain today for instance. 775 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Andrew appreciate the insight very much. Andrew Ripman, 776 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: who's the EU observe a foreign editor with us this morning, 777 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: thirteen minute tasking Cully. You and I we were talking 778 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 2: about that one of them America started to take over 779 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 2: New Zealand, and the first thing I came up with 780 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 2: was good because we'd be immediately associated with the dollar 781 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 2: and that would materially improve our circumstances. No end, because 782 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 2: if you've looked at the value of our dollar, this 783 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 2: as the American dollar. They're two completely different things. Mike, 784 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 2: welcome back. I don't think Luxin's given enough credit for 785 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 2: holding the coalition together. I don't know if anyone else 786 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 2: who would have kept him together. He keeps his own 787 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: ego and check his greatest strength as his man management 788 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 2: and empowering his team to succeed. This is his corporate 789 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 2: experience shining through. Imagine the shit the country would be 790 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 2: and if the coalition collapsed. Very good point. Paul fourteen 791 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 2: past the. 792 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 793 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: News Talks at B Yeah. 794 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 2: So I was on the phone with my mate last 795 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 2: week who lives in Sydney, and he asked, he said, 796 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 2: what's going on with the dollar? I said, well, the 797 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 2: dollars stuffed is the problem. That was my expert reaction 798 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 2: to his failing. But it was at eighty five to 799 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 2: the eighty sixth this morning Australian, which is embarrassing. Remember 800 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago. Every now and again over 801 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 2: the years we've talked about parity. We're never going to 802 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 2: get parity with the Australian dollar. But we get to 803 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 2: the way well into the nineties, and so when you 804 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 2: go to Australia, you're not sort of thinking, oh, I 805 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 2: wonder how much this is going to cost, whereas now 806 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 2: you do fifteen percents a lot. Anyway, this was the 807 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: piece I referenced before seven o'clock this morning. There's a 808 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 2: big divergence going to go on this year. Unfortunately it's 809 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 2: currently sixty six US. This is the Australian dollar sixty six. 810 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 2: They reckon it's going to appreciate somewhere between ten and 811 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: forty percent this year. They think Bullock, as in the 812 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank governor is going to hike rates. And this 813 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 2: is where the divergence one US comes in. So we're 814 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: on hold worst case scenario, we're still cutting. She's looking 815 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 2: to increase. So there's your divergence. In other words, why 816 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 2: is she increasing because the Australian economy is strong? Why 817 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 2: are we holding it if not cutting? Because our economy 818 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 2: is still building back ahead of steam. So that's your divergence. 819 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 2: And so they're thinking the Australian dollar is going to 820 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 2: appreciate ten to forty percent price target of seventy two 821 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 2: cents by the end of the year. Seventy two cents 822 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: US by the end of the year. That'd be the 823 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 2: highest value for the Australian dollar since twenty twenty two. 824 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 2: That's from amp ubs. They say it could go to 825 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 2: ninety two ninety two US sense to the Australian dollar. 826 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 2: Now if that happens, I don't think it will. But 827 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 2: if it does, what do you reckon? We're going to 828 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: be against the Australian and then that is I mean, 829 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 2: all good for the exporters, but for anything else, it's 830 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: no good at all. This poll of the holiday period 831 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 2: came out. I can't remember when it was, two days ago, yesterday, 832 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 2: the day before, whatever it was. This is the freshwater 833 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 2: stuff on the asset reconditioning the Prime Minister raised last year. 834 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 2: This is a national party policy. Peters hates it, so 835 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 2: it's going to be an issue and therefore because of that, 836 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 2: I don't know that we'll ever see the light of day, 837 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 2: but you never know. But the poll said forty nine 838 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 2: percent of US support a sale if a one hundred 839 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 2: percent of this is asset sales, if one hundred percent 840 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 2: of the money went into a future fund, some sort 841 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 2: of future fund, in other words, if you're not just 842 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 2: going a retired debt or something, put it way for 843 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 2: a rainy day, put it away to do something productive. 844 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 2: This was the idea raised on this program last year 845 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 2: by lux and he said, there's too much stuff we 846 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 2: own the state. Farms are a good example. Why do 847 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 2: we own farms well? For a private sector can run 848 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 2: farms far better, seldom get the money put it into 849 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 2: something productive. So forty nine percent support that asset recycling 850 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 2: forty eight percent rising to fifty two if the buyers 851 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 2: required to be New Zealand based. I'm not sure that's necessary, 852 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 2: but those numbers genuinely surprised me. I thought, the moment 853 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 2: you polled on asset sales, people are old enough and 854 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 2: go back to Richard Prebble and New Zealand Rail and 855 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 2: go on ever again. But half the country supporting the 856 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 2: idea of taking bad money and making it work for us. 857 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 2: I was fantastically reassured about, because I'm all about we 858 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 2: got too much dead money floating around doing nothing, and 859 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: the sooner we put it to work, the better. So 860 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 2: I'm very pleased, and I would be very uplifted if 861 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 2: I was a Prime Minister and saw those numbers. I'll 862 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 2: ask them about that. In about fifteen minutes seven twenty. 863 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio POW 864 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,720 Speaker 1: of my News Talk. 865 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 2: ZEP finding the right supplements for your health has just 866 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 2: become a whole lot easier.

But it's all go 892 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 2: for twenty six with about health asking seven twenty three. Now, 893 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: I've got to tell you I'm still a little bit 894 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: exercised about Scott Robertson because I like Scott and I 895 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 2: thought he was a very good coach. His record at 896 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 2: Canterbury spoke for itself. Of course, See trouble in this 897 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 2: country is we can't have a sensible conversation about the 898 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 2: all black coach because so many of us come to 899 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: it with myopic emotional views driven by idiocy like geography 900 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 2: and personality expectations that have nothing to do with the 901 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 2: actual job. See Hanson had pro and anti Campston, the 902 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 2: as did Foster, as does Robinson. Waste too much energy. Also, 903 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: we might just be a little bit then energized or 904 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 2: exercise because we're a small country with not a lot 905 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 2: to think about. See in the NFL, which I follow, 906 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 2: As you well know, in the NFL at the moment 907 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 2: there are nine head coaching vacant. Nine after eight sackings 908 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 2: and one quitting. That's over a quarter of all jobs 909 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 2: in the NFL are up for grabs, and that's not unusual. 910 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 2: I mean, as for the EPL, they're sacking somebody every 911 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 2: second day, as far as I can work out, well 912 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 2: I can't work out is when David Kirk says we 913 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 2: aren't where we need to be at this point of 914 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 2: the cycle. What does that mean? Where specifically do we 915 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 2: need to be? I mean, once upon a time when 916 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 2: the All Blacks won every test, as of right, we 917 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 2: still didn't go on and win the World Cup. So 918 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 2: presumably when we won everything, or we're winning everything, we 919 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 2: must have felt in a pretty good place. Didn't work 920 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 2: out well though, did it? Also? How is it Robinson 921 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 2: as banned from going elsewhere? I mean, this is the 922 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: great question that remains unanswered. How is he banned from 923 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 2: going elsewhere? In other words, he's not good enough to 924 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 2: coach us, but he's too dangerous to ply the trade off. 925 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 2: Suore now apart from paying him not to work and 926 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 2: that involves a tremendous amount of money. As far as 927 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 2: I know, I wouldn't have taken that deal. I would 928 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 2: have told him to get stuffed. Also, I can't work 929 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 2: out just how much this is player driven and of 930 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 2: the player feedback, how much is personal this is professional? 931 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 2: I mean, how much responsibility does a player have for 932 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: what happens on the field as opposed to a coach. 933 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: See back in the NFL there's a blow called Vrabel 934 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 2: who was sacked from Tennessee because they weren't winning, and 935 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 2: after he left, they still haven't been winning. But the 936 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 2: team he's gone to New England, who are playing today, 937 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 2: By the way, they were hopeless until a year ago. 938 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 2: They might now they'll probably win today, and if they do, 939 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 2: they'll go on to win one more game. They might 940 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 2: well be in the super Bowl. So is that him 941 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: or is it luck or other factors? See, someone always 942 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 2: seems to have to pay the price whenever someone else 943 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 2: decides things aren't right, which is the other weird bit. 944 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 2: The All Blacks winning record is an increasingly competitive world. 945 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't that bad, so why the panic? Loyalty, consistency, 946 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 2: and longevity are all traits that are of value, but 947 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 2: you've got to recognize them. If you don't, you tend 948 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 2: to make mistakes by going run, sacking people with no 949 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 2: obvious next step in place asking that's the point. Who's next? Oh, 950 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 2: I don't know, haven't thought about that. But morning, Mike, 951 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 2: Happy New Year. What's wrong with us? There's the question 952 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 2: we have a smooth operator in lux and we want 953 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: to replace him. It wasn't long ago when we dropped 954 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 2: another smooth operator, Bill English, and we got six years 955 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 2: of a doom. 956 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 4: Mike. 957 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: It's great to have you back again. I hope you 958 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: had a good holiday. I did, and I don't know 959 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: that it's that appropriate to mention at this particular point 960 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 2: in time, given what's happened in the last twenty four 961 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 2: hours or so. But I thought the weather was fantastic 962 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 2: and my part of the world, it was brilliant. When 963 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 2: I stood out there looking over the acreage, I thought, cheers. 964 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 2: I could use a bit of rain. 965 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 17: Then it right, he's quite the microclimate on. 966 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 2: The very microclimate. It'sh very very microclimate. But I had 967 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 2: all the rain I wanted, and I had all the 968 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 2: sun I wanted. I had some of the heat, had 969 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 2: some of the cool I just had the perfect weather 970 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 2: and I had the perfect was it all just had 971 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 2: a wide up or something? 972 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 4: Have you got like a little. 973 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 2: Map for what's done on what's going on? But I 974 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 2: was happy with it. I mean, obviously I feel bad 975 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 2: for you if you close the State Highway to on 976 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: the coast there up north. But apart from that, as 977 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 2: far as holidays goes, I had a very fine time. 978 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 2: Did I tell you I'm back two weeks early?

I just you finished 1001 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,399 Speaker 6: the place and then you're just looking at your ugly 1002 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 6: mugg at the Indiana bout'n. 1003 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 2: They mold nicely into the thigh they do. 1004 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 6: They've got that lovely bean bag of a nice consistence. 1005 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 2: Have you know, by the way, you gave me two 1006 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 2: calendars that one's there, so this place paid for that 1007 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 2: and put on some sort of sheep backing board. Yes, 1008 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 2: I took it down to a proper frame in my one. 1009 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 2: And that's in your garage. It's in the super Bowl, 1010 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: it's in the room, it's in the ballroom. So have 1011 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 2: you remembered your passwords for the day? I did? They 1012 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: had they changed my password because they did one of 1013 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 2: those longer ones. Yes, so that was when they do that. 1014 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 2: It's almost problematic, but I got there in the end, 1015 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 2: so We're good to see you anyway, and good to 1016 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 2: see you as well. Today's stay to the nation. Is 1017 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 2: it boring and lengthy or not? 1018 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 6: Well, it's really just a chance to lay up exactly 1019 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 6: where we are and what's going on. And yeah, I 1020 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 6: think everyone understands we inherit a hell of a mess, 1021 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 6: and we've had to fix a lot of the basics 1022 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 6: over the last two years. But yeah, you started to 1023 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,319 Speaker 6: see all the leading indicators come right, and I think 1024 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 6: there's some really encouraging and positive things that the recovery 1025 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 6: is now actually underway. 1026 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 2: And so the question is do you want. 1027 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 6: To just watch a recovery take place, or do you 1028 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 6: actually want to build out and do the right reforms 1029 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:52,800 Speaker 6: and things that we need to do to set the 1030 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 6: country up for a great future. So it's really this 1031 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 6: notion of how do we fix the basics and we've 1032 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 6: still got stuff we've got to continue to do daily 1033 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 6: in that area, but also how do we think about 1034 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 6: some of the challenges as countries had for thirty years 1035 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 6: and actually deal with those things that we need to 1036 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 6: build the future around. 1037 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 2: For the record, there will be no new policy today. 1038 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 6: We won't be announcing any policy, but want to I 1039 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 6: want to announce a framework and then there'll be more 1040 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 6: policies we go through the course of this year. 1041 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 2: No election date today, No, not today, but Wednesday. 1042 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 6: It'll come shortly. 1043 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 2: It will come Wednesday, very shortly, So Wednesday the retreat 1044 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,320 Speaker 2: in christ Is there a reshuffle coming. 1045 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 6: Look, not at this point. There may well be in 1046 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 6: the next month or two. But I'll make that call 1047 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 6: just based off you know, we may have some retirements. 1048 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 4: We may have some. 1049 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 6: When you say you may have some retirements, do you well, no, 1050 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 6: I don't know, but we may well have some, in 1051 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 6: which case we might reshuffle some things around. But there's 1052 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 6: no need for me to feel a compunction. 1053 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 2: Christmas to all your troops. Listen, if anyone's going to 1054 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 2: retire an election year, let me know so it doesn't 1055 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 2: come out as a surprise. 1056 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 6: People make their own decisions, and they will start doing 1057 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 6: that at this time of the year. But you know, 1058 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 6: as I've said on reshuffles, I just make changes when 1059 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 6: I need to and when I need to feel like 1060 00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 6: portfolios need to be reallocated. 1061 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 2: That okay, as far as the economy is concerned, I mean, 1062 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 2: it's Christmas kind of got in the way of the 1063 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 2: good news. I mean the FTA with India, you can't 1064 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 2: argue with that. That's nothing. I'm really excited about that. 1065 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 6: I mean, if you think through ten years from now, 1066 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 6: twenty years from now, what that means for New Zealand, 1067 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 6: that's Messif I mean, the Indians reckon they'll be the 1068 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 6: third biggest economy in twenty eight most economists think twenty thirty. 1069 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 6: And if you think about you know, just us participating, 1070 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 6: getting it on the ground floor, growing with the growing country. Yeah, 1071 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 6: they've got four hundred and forty million people sitting in 1072 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 6: their middle class. They reckon, they'll have seven hundred and 1073 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 6: fifty million by the end of the decade. 1074 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 2: That's huge for us. So in that is the interesting thing. 1075 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 2: So Peters wasn't particularly thrilled with the FTA, And this 1076 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 2: is going to be a theme this year, isn't it. 1077 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 2: How do you differentiate yourself between being Prime Minister and 1078 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 2: the leader of the National Party. How does he differentiate 1079 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 2: himself between the leader of the you know, et cetera, 1080 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,479 Speaker 2: and David seymore the same without the media leaping on board, 1081 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 2: going cracks in the coalition. 1082 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 6: Exactly, yeah, exactly. It's it's actually called a mature MMP environment, right, 1083 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 6: and it's rightly or wrongly, this is the electoral system 1084 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 6: that we've selected over many years. You've got to make 1085 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 6: it work. That means that you actually do need to 1086 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 6: delegate responsibilities in government to different ministers. They will say 1087 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 6: things slightly differently. As I've said from day one, that's 1088 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 6: okay as long as you united around the core of 1089 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 6: what you're doing in government, which we are around the 1090 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 6: economy and law and order and health and education, all 1091 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 6: that good stuff. But yeah, they need to also everyone 1092 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 6: needs to have space in a party sense, to differentiate 1093 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 6: and talk to their constituents and talk to their policies 1094 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 6: and so yeah, just about you know, the compartmentalization of 1095 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 6: that and being able to do that maturely. 1096 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 2: Do you think it can be done maturely? 1097 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1098 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 11: I do, I do. 1099 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 6: I mean, I think we've demonstrated that from day one. 1100 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 6: I mean we've put a three party coalition together with 1101 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 6: some big personalities parties that actually have differences, but actually 1102 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 6: are very united on the core of what we're doing. 1103 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 6: And I think you've got to You can't expect to 1104 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 6: have a first pass the posts homogeneous sort of expression 1105 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 6: on everything in an MMP environment. You don't see that 1106 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 6: in Western Europe and the coalition governments that are formed there. 1107 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 6: And I think we've managed it very well. 1108 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 2: The poll out the other day on asset your idea 1109 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 2: on selling some assets and rolling yeah, I was surprised 1110 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 2: at how much support it's got. Yeah, I read that 1111 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 2: as well. 1112 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 6: I mean, again, what I was trying to foreshadow last 1113 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 6: year was that you've got a choice. You've got money, 1114 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 6: You've got a set of dollars, and the questions are 1115 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 6: you getting the best return for those dollars? And New 1116 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 6: Zealand needs a lot of assets and it needs a 1117 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 6: lot of investment, and are you better to recycle assets 1118 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 6: and redeploy funds to other purposes. But it was interesting 1119 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 6: to see that I can't starting to understand that there 1120 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 6: are choices that you get to make with money. 1121 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 2: To be honest, I think that's the forgotten middle class 1122 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 2: of this country. There's a lot of people in this 1123 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: country that understand concepts like that. They don't necessarily get 1124 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 2: represented in the media or make the headlines or any 1125 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 2: of that. People get it well. 1126 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 6: They have to make those choices in their own family budgets, 1127 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 6: or they are small business people making those choices in 1128 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 6: their own businesses. They understand the use of money and 1129 00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 6: how you get better returns. 1130 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 2: With campaigning on heart, because you're never going to get 1131 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 2: it past Peter's is the problem. So therefore you've got 1132 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 2: to calculate as good an idea as I might think 1133 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: it may be. If I can't get it past my 1134 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 2: coalition partner, what's the point because you've got other fish 1135 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 2: to pry in a campaign. 1136 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think if you know and we'll think 1137 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 6: it through as we go through the course of the year. 1138 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 6: That's one of the things that you could argue is 1139 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 6: about building the future because you actually could take that 1140 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 6: capital that's tied up in those assets. Some of those 1141 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 6: assets will be underperforming, some will be performing fine and 1142 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 6: actually say can you do better things with it? Well, 1143 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 6: I think we should make the case for that now 1144 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 6: at the end of the day. Then you've got to 1145 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 6: be brutally pragmatic when you come to a coalition formation 1146 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 6: after an election. That's why I'm going to make the 1147 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 6: case very strongly as you'll get sick of hearing us 1148 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 6: say you know that you should party vote National because 1149 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 6: that's actually going to be the thing that will give 1150 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 6: you the strongest, stable government. 1151 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 2: Criticism over the holiday period was you were absent when 1152 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: the world was going through some its current tumult Your 1153 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 2: view on Venezuela illegal or not? 1154 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 6: Ultimately for the US to explain. We want all countries 1155 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 6: comply with international law. It's up for them to explain. 1156 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 6: We're not a fan of Maduro. In fact, our New 1157 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 6: Zealand has never supported that regime. 1158 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:07,479 Speaker 3: A pretty bad dude. 1159 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 6: Cause a lot of pain and suffering inside Venezuela. Now 1160 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 6: it's really about what comes. 1161 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 2: Next there Greenland illegal or not. Well, again, we're not. 1162 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 6: A supporter of tariff's whatsoever. We think that's just bad 1163 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 6: news for the global economy. I think that leads to 1164 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,839 Speaker 6: a spiraling that's not good for the world. We want 1165 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,359 Speaker 6: transatlantic relationships to be positive. It's a New Zealand's interest 1166 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 6: for that to be so. And I think frankly, sitting 1167 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 6: down and having a discussion about Arctic security concerns and 1168 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,479 Speaker 6: how NATO works together on that, which includes the US 1169 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 6: and the Europeans, would be the sensible thing to do. 1170 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 2: But do you worry about NATO future? 1171 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 6: Well no, I mean I've been to a couple of 1172 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 6: NATO meetings now as a guest and I've been really 1173 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 6: impressed to see them all stepping up their collective responsibility, 1174 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 6: which they've desperately needed to do. They were in a 1175 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 6: place where they were freeloading, and now as a result, 1176 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 6: they have made some serious commitments to edge towards closer 1177 00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 6: to five percent of GDP on defense spending, you know, 1178 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 6: in a place like Greenland, and if there are genuine 1179 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 6: concerns from the US around Arctic security, you know, it's 1180 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 6: very clear the Greenlanders want to be part of Denmark. 1181 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 6: That is their decision. Is a sovereign nation to make 1182 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 6: that decision. The US, you know, I think the use 1183 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 6: of tariff isn't great, but they should get into discussion 1184 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 6: and through the concerns they actually have. 1185 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 2: Do you think we're heading The best line I read 1186 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 2: over the period was the Age of the Empires? Do 1187 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 2: you think we're heading back to the age of the Empires? 1188 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's an interesting discourse. There's no doubt about it. 1189 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 6: The system that we've had for the last seventy years 1190 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 6: is rupturing big time, and I think that's a really 1191 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 6: big call to action for New Zealand to say, look, 1192 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 6: let's control what we can control, and what we can 1193 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 6: control is building out a stronger economy here at home, 1194 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 6: and what we can control is actually diversifying and developing 1195 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:50,280 Speaker 6: deeper partnerships and relationships abroad. And our relative position because 1196 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 6: all one hundred and ninety five countries are dealing with 1197 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 6: the challenges that are out there in the world today, 1198 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 6: is actually very strong. We have what the world wants, 1199 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 6: we have the values that people aspire to have. We're 1200 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 6: seen as a good, reliable partner, and you know, we 1201 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 6: can do well for ourselves. So you know, that's why 1202 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 6: the call to action to say, we've got to continue 1203 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 6: to fix the basics, make New Zealand stronger at home here, 1204 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 6: Let's focus on what we can focus on and control 1205 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 6: what we can control, and then build out a broader 1206 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 6: set of relationships, which is why we've been out there 1207 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 6: hustling right from day one over the last two years 1208 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 6: to set those opportunities up for the country. 1209 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 2: So, yeah, I know it's challenging. 1210 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 6: I know a lot of listeners will be feeling anxious 1211 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 6: about what's going on in the world. But let's control 1212 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 6: what we can control, and we have a fantastic future 1213 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 6: and we've got a lot of potential that's got to 1214 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,319 Speaker 6: get realized in this country, and that's the exciting work 1215 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 6: ahead of us. 1216 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 2: It's going to be quite the year. It's going to 1217 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 2: be fun, good stuff. It's nice to sketch up with. 1218 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 2: You appreciate it. Crystal likes fourteen to. 1219 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,800 Speaker 1: Two the Mike Hosking Breakers Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1220 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: powered Blay News. 1221 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,239 Speaker 2: Talks it be living away from Mike. You's such an 1222 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,839 Speaker 2: optimistic sod. Hard to say it, but glad you're back. 1223 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 2: Did you go overseas, Mike? If so, please share, No, 1224 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: I didn't. I am going overseas this year and in 1225 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 2: that is probably one of the more tumultuous story of 1226 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 2: my life. Fiscally speaking, I honestly don't know how people 1227 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 2: afford to travel anymore. But nevertheless, that's for another day. 1228 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 11: Mike. 1229 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 2: If you had read Gregor Pool's article in The Herald 1230 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 2: last Friday, you would have had your questions about Robertson, answered, well, 1231 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,240 Speaker 2: I did both. I don't know. I didn't have answers 1232 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,720 Speaker 2: answered my questions answered. I did read Gregor Pool's article. 1233 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 2: I just happened to disagree with it. My meanmies entitled 1234 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 2: his opinion, but I didn't come to the same conclusion. 1235 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back, Mike. Shouldn't be shouldn't we be aiming for 1236 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 2: a lower dollar to help our exporters in the overall 1237 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 2: New Zealand economy. It's complicated with the essential imports side, 1238 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 2: but the rest of us as a nation need to 1239 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 2: suck it up and cut back the New Zealand dollar 1240 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 2: being swanded overseas. No, what we should be aiming for 1241 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 2: is a dollar that represents and reflects a strong New 1242 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 2: Zealand economy. And that's why the going back to the 1243 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 2: Australian scenario, the reason their dollar will ascend this year, 1244 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,800 Speaker 2: allegedly is because the world sees their economy as relatively strong, 1245 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 2: and good luck to them for it, but ours isn't 1246 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 2: seen in the same way. And yes, it's good for exporters. 1247 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 2: The lower our dollar goes, the better for exporters, but 1248 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: it comes to point where it becomes so anemic. We 1249 00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 2: look third world, and we don't want to look third world. 1250 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 2: And of course, unfortunately, as much as we would like 1251 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,720 Speaker 2: it to be different, we actually import more than we export. 1252 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 2: So that's why we've got trade deficits and so therefore 1253 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 2: the lower the dollar, the more expensive it does becomes 1254 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 2: to do business. Importing stuff. So as long as we 1255 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 2: import more stuff than we sell, then the exact opposite 1256 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 2: should apply. We need a stronger dollar, but the dollar 1257 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 2: is reflected. It's basically the world's view of us in 1258 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 2: at eighty five Australian forty two p. The world's view 1259 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 2: of us is not that good and that needs to change. 1260 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 2: Nine to eight The make. 1261 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 3: Asking, breakfast with the Defender and use togs Headbshi. 1262 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 2: Mike, welcome back. Do you think we need to focus 1263 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 2: on the defense budget at all? Not to attack another nation, 1264 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 2: but enough so we're a hard nut to crack if 1265 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 2: it ever came to that. I think we're already doing that, 1266 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 2: aren't we didn't what's the announcement? I can't remember the 1267 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 2: exact number due to columns in charge of all that 1268 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 2: these days, but we've gone from something like two percent, well, 1269 00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 2: going from two percent? 1270 00:57:58,560 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 11: Is it four? 1271 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 2: I want to say it only was five, but it 1272 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 2: was four over a period of time. We're buying bits 1273 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 2: and pieces and drones and stuff like that, so I 1274 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 2: think we're trying morning Micah. Private companies own our assets. 1275 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 2: Where do all the profits go? The answer is in 1276 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 2: their pockets, obviously, which I think is why the poll 1277 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 2: that I was mentioning earlier on had a bigger number 1278 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 2: fifty two percent if the person buying the assets was 1279 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 2: local as opposed to international. But I mean, private companies 1280 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 2: do it for profit. They bank the profits. But also 1281 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 2: you've got to remember they one run things better, therefore 1282 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 2: they expand, therefore they employ. But they also, because they 1283 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 2: run things better, make more money, therefore pay more tax. Mike. 1284 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 2: The Iranian protests and uprising the most significant US to date. 1285 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 2: Imagine a world without Islamic regime funding terrorism. Why is 1286 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,919 Speaker 2: our media not covering the biggest happenings at the moment. 1287 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what media you follow, but it's about 1288 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 2: the biggest story in the world and has been for 1289 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 2: a number of days now. The great sadness was I 1290 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 2: genuinely thought Venezuela is going to come to nothing. So, 1291 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 2: in other words, we did it for the cocaine. That's 1292 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 2: not true. They care less about the cocaine. They did 1293 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 2: it for the oil. And we all know that. I 1294 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 2: have another theory around the Venezuela thing that I'll tell 1295 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 2: you about another day. It's got to do with vote rigging, 1296 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 2: but that's for another day anyway. So Venezuela's for that reason. 1297 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 2: Colombia and Cuba, I mean, they'll cut some sort of 1298 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 2: deal there. They're there, to put it in the vernacular, 1299 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 2: they're piscent, little operators that no one really cares about, 1300 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 2: so they'll get that sorted. Greenland. I'm convinced that that 1301 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 2: a deal will be cut with NATO, the lincreased resources, 1302 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 2: America will have a greater presence. No one's buying anything. 1303 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 2: But Iran was my great hope. I thought of all 1304 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 2: the so called historic things that might be unfolding in 1305 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 2: front of our eyes at the moment. The fall of 1306 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 2: the regime in Iran seemed just fleetingly there two or 1307 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 2: three days ago to be a real thing, because the 1308 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 2: eye toll is gone, and even the people in Iraq 1309 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 2: are sick of him, and the moment he dies, you've 1310 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 2: got a vacuum, and so fill the vacuum before he dies. 1311 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 2: And I thought something significant, as in genuinely historic, was 1312 00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: about to unfold. Whether it involved America dropping some stuff 1313 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 2: on people, I wasn't sure. But Trump clearly has chickened 1314 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 2: out of that. I don't know why. I'm assuming because 1315 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 2: his resources are limited and he can't do it or 1316 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 2: whatever he was looking to do, he can't do it 1317 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 2: at the moment.

Let me give you 1353 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 2: a clue. It wasn't a game or a result. It 1354 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,280 Speaker 2: was a person in what they said. 1355 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 11: Hmm. 1356 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 16: Was it the way David Kirk fronted the media the 1357 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 16: other day, that's just a stab in the dark, and. 1358 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 2: It's it's not a bad stab in the dark. It 1359 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 2: was kwaja, husband, kwaja, And I was doing my sit 1360 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 2: ups and you'll appreciate this, Andrew, I was doing I 1361 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 2: was doing my sit ups and I happened to have 1362 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 2: the television on. It was early hours of the morning 1363 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 2: in the middle of you know, just before Christmas and 1364 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 2: Kwaja announced his retirement. He did his press conference and 1365 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 2: Sky News were taking the press conference live. Now I'm 1366 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 2: not I'm not a big cricket fan and never really 1367 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,960 Speaker 2: have been, in far less a support of the Australians, 1368 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 2: but so I'd never heard Kowaja speak. But what an articulate, bright, insightful, 1369 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 2: in engaging individual he is and the way. 1370 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 11: It all out there. Didn't he didn't. 1371 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 19: He had a crack it. He had a crack at 1372 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 19: quite a few people. And I suppose he had pent 1373 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 19: up after all those years of facing you know, facing 1374 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,880 Speaker 19: a lot of stuff online and from other opponents and 1375 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 19: what have you, you know, sledging on the field and stuff. 1376 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, he just had an up, I suppose. 1377 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I thought not. He gave it to everybody, 1378 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 2: but he did it in a very articulate way, and 1379 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 2: I liked it. I liked his style. Do you you 1380 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 2: ever heard him talk, Jason, Do you. 1381 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 11: Know him at all? 1382 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 12: Who? 1383 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 1384 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 11: No, I don't know if I have heard him talk before? 1385 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 16: Yeah, but I thought, you know, I mean, normally if 1386 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 16: a guy gives six and seven minute answers in a 1387 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 16: press conference. You start to not off, don't you, but 1388 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 16: totally compelling And yeah, like saf said, he obviously had 1389 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 16: a bit to say. He knew this was his opportunity, 1390 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 16: and I think he took it well. And look he's polarizing, 1391 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 16: but I yeah, very this. 1392 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 19: Is obviously at the start of your situps, because if 1393 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 19: it was near the end, you wouldn't understand what he 1394 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 19: was saying because you'd be so unt. 1395 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 2: Tell you what I kept I kept doing the sit 1396 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 2: ups just as long as he kept talking. Looking so 1397 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 2: by the time I got three hundred and twenty five. 1398 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 2: You know, That's why I've got the abs I've got. 1399 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, this morning, where are you putting this? 1400 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 2: Obviously you won't be on there tonight, Andrew, because you'll 1401 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 2: be seemingly permanently off. But if you were putting the 1402 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 2: bulletin together tonight, where would the cricket from this morning go? 1403 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 2: Is that a big deal? 1404 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 11: I think that would have to be time. 1405 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,439 Speaker 19: I mean, Dan Hilly, you're finishing second in his first 1406 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 19: tournament of the year, starting where he left off last year, 1407 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,479 Speaker 19: is a great achievement. But beating India in India pretty strong. 1408 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,440 Speaker 19: Indian team with Coley leading the way, you would have 1409 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,439 Speaker 19: to put that at the top. Never done before. 1410 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 2: No, that's true. 1411 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 16: Darryl Mitchell. Darryl Mitchell got Darryl Mitchell has to be 1412 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 16: one of our best all format batters now, doesn't he? 1413 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 16: Every time he bats for New Zealand, regardless of the format. 1414 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 16: I mean, the guy's got two hundreds in the series 1415 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 16: and eighty in the other one. He's so unassuming but 1416 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 16: so effective. I just think he's such a valuable cricketer. 1417 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 16: Now this is massive. I mean a series win in India, 1418 01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 16: you know in the one day format, never been done yet? 1419 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 2: Answer me this then, Andrew, forty thousand dollars you get 1420 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 2: for a loss in round one of qualifying. This is 1421 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 2: the Australian Open. So if you lose and round one 1422 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 2: of qualifying, how do you get in? I can't anyone 1423 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 2: into the qualifying? Would you have to do something? 1424 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 11: You got to have a man. There's a ranking cutoff. 1425 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 11: So if you wanted to inter, oh. 1426 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 2: Because I thought an easy forty, I just needed the qualifying, 1427 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 2: I'd lose. 1428 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 11: I get forty grand I think you need an easy 1429 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 11: forty quite frankly, but no I need a rank. It 1430 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 11: you need. You have to you have to be ranked. 1431 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 11: I reckon probably around two hundred and three hundred to 1432 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:31,200 Speaker 11: get into qualifying. 1433 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 2: Okay, Katie went in and bought me and us, actually 1434 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 2: both of us, tennis records. Not I think, all, no, no, 1435 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 2: we're doing peckle, we're doing peckle and paddle. But we 1436 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,520 Speaker 2: needed tennis records. And so she went and bought and 1437 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 2: I said to her, you goes, I'm going to buy 1438 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 2: tennis records, and I said, go in and get me 1439 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 2: a Wilson hammer because the last time I the last 1440 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 2: time I played that. Oh my god, there's the story, 1441 01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,439 Speaker 2: because I said, I said, last time I was playing, 1442 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 2: I was played with Wilson hammer. She walks into the 1443 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 2: shop and she goes, I want to Wilson hammer, and 1444 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 2: the guy burst out laughing. He goes, what did an 1445 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,920 Speaker 2: old person ask you to buy that? And she goes, 1446 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 2: As it turns out, yes he did, because he goes, 1447 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 2: we haven't made Wilson hammers for twenty years. 1448 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 11: You might as well have asked for an Honie parn 1449 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 11: wooden gun. 1450 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 3: What are your racket? 1451 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 2: Rose will Nass? 1452 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 16: Are you going to play against one another? Taurus A 1453 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 16: mixed doubles. 1454 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 2: Combat certainly not mixed doubles. I can't I can't stand 1455 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 2: mixed doubles. And the day that I run this country, 1456 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 2: mixed doubles are going to be banned. But we're going 1457 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 2: to play each other. And so we're playing in pickle, 1458 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,920 Speaker 2: we're playing in paddle, and we're now going to undertake. 1459 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 11: The especial your tennis careers back on. 1460 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 2: It's back on, Andrew. 1461 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 11: And so once after I blew out both you knees 1462 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 11: in the nineties. 1463 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 2: Once I've got a vibe for how good I can 1464 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 2: be once again, and the master's section, I'm going to 1465 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,120 Speaker 2: give me underived.

But 1469 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 2: the record I wanted was not the big sweet spot one. 1470 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 2: This was the thing about the Wilson Hammers. You had 1471 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 2: to create your own speed. And I don't like a 1472 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 2: big sweet spot because it just goes ping ping, and 1473 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm not into that. But I do you know what 1474 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,479 Speaker 2: you pay for a top line tennis record these days? 1475 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 11: Ah At least a grand eight hundred. 1476 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 2: You can't break three hundred, right, you're struggling full price. 1477 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,439 Speaker 2: If you got ripped off and they saw you coming, 1478 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 2: you'd be lucky to come close to five. When I 1479 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 2: played like twenty five years ago, you're paying six seven 1480 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars for a tennis record, whereas now the 1481 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 2: cheapest chips. 1482 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 11: Okay, hey, we haven't done. 1483 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 2: What's that guy's name? I used to coach the All Blacks? 1484 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 2: We should talk about him too, shouldn't we? Probably brief 1485 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 2: break more in a moment. 1486 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 20: Fourteen past the Monday Morning commentary Bargs with Spears, fight Ads, 1487 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 20: Smart ass and Equipment, Fight ads for Kiwi Businesses. 1488 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio 1489 01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: powered by News Talk. 1490 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:03,480 Speaker 20: Hipp News Talks MB seventeen past eight the Monday Morning 1491 01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 20: commentary Bugs with Spears, fight ads, Smart Asset and Equipment, 1492 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 20: fight ads for Kimi Businesses. 1493 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 2: All right, so, Jason, you guys both rugby experts more 1494 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 2: so than me. So Jason, do you, as you sit 1495 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,559 Speaker 2: here this morning, have an explanation that you understand from 1496 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,479 Speaker 2: David Kirk that involves Scott Robertson And are you complete 1497 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,560 Speaker 2: in that understanding and therefore what they want to do, 1498 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 2: why they didn't and where we're at. 1499 01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 16: Yes, I do have an understanding of it, probably largely 1500 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 16: because of the way David Kirk explained it. You have 1501 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 16: to look beyond the numbers, because, as has been bandied 1502 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 16: around a lot, the winning record was pretty good compared 1503 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 16: to other international coaches over the same period. Only Rassy 1504 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 16: Erasmus had had a better winning percentage, So you have 1505 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 16: to look beyond what happened on the scoreboard. The couple 1506 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 16: of words I think that probably firmed up the understanding 1507 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 16: that David Kirk used were trajectory, where was this team going? 1508 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 16: And this He also said this team is not on track. 1509 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 16: So I think they looked into the future and made 1510 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,800 Speaker 16: the decision that this team wasn't going in the in 1511 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 16: the direction that they wanted, and I think he showed 1512 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 16: some pretty strong leadership and making them very very tough. 1513 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 2: Next question for you, then, is why is Robertson being 1514 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 2: paid to do nothing? If he's not good enough to 1515 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:25,560 Speaker 2: coach the All Blacks, why can't he get on do 1516 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 2: his own thing? 1517 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 11: He's not allowed to coach Tier one team? 1518 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 2: Think no, no, but why? 1519 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 11: And I think it's all the end of the year. 1520 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 19: I would imagine Neil Blacks don't want to use losing 1521 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 19: the intellectual property to other national teams. 1522 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 2: But I would have told I would if you're in 1523 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 2: that position, if you're not good enough to work with 1524 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 2: me anymore and you're going to cancel my contract, you 1525 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 2: pay me the difference of the contract because you breached 1526 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 2: the contract, and I'm free to go on my way. 1527 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 11: Yep, he's obviously agreed to. Yeah, those clauses look Mike. 1528 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 19: For some in the game to say they're shocked by this, 1529 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 19: I think clearly they don't have the year to the 1530 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 19: ground enough. They've been ruction in this team, even from 1531 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,679 Speaker 19: that first series in twenty twenty four against the English. 1532 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 19: I'd heard talk out of the camp then and it 1533 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 19: hasn't got better. Over coaching, lack of clarity, confusion. 1534 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,839 Speaker 11: Breakdown, and a breakdown in some of the relationships with players. 1535 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 19: I'd heard after the Northern Tour that from very reliable 1536 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 19: sources that he had last ninety percent of the dressing room. 1537 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 11: As soon as that happens, you're gone, right. 1538 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 16: I don't think he's become a bad I don't think 1539 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 16: he's become a bad. 1540 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 19: Coach right, just not in the right environment though, because 1541 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 19: when you when you get into the All Blacks, which 1542 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 19: is still one of the best sports teams in the world, 1543 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 19: there's a there's an expectation from players, especially that the 1544 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 19: coaches as a leader, the coach coaches with with with 1545 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 19: a clear head, the coach treats everybody the same, the 1546 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 19: coach that he is to all Black standards which have 1547 01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,600 Speaker 19: been built over years and years and years, and that 1548 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 19: didn't happen. 1549 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 2: Okay, so Josh, yep, sorry, who's next? Who's your pack? 1550 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,759 Speaker 16: I know there's a lot of a lot of clamor 1551 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 16: for Jamie Joseph. I think Jamie Joseph with Tony Brown 1552 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,960 Speaker 16: is a very different proposition from Jamie Joseph without Tony Brown. 1553 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 16: And you know, depending on who you're who you listen 1554 01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,599 Speaker 16: to out of the Republic, Tony Brown is staying put 1555 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 16: and I think that's probably quite a good idea for him. 1556 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,320 Speaker 16: I really like the idea of Dave Rennie being involved somewhere, 1557 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 16: whether that be as a head coach or part of 1558 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 16: a coaching team. You know, he was doing good things 1559 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,640 Speaker 16: with Australia until they, you know, inexplicably wanted to get 1560 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,640 Speaker 16: Eddie Jones back in there, so I quite like the 1561 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 16: idea of Dave Rennie. I think they'll probably go with 1562 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 16: Jamie Joseph, but yeah, that's kind of. 1563 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 2: My what's you call, Andrew? 1564 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,960 Speaker 19: I think most importantly, even more important, I think than 1565 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,479 Speaker 19: the appointment of an All Backs coaches, they've got to 1566 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 19: get this next high performance manager right. 1567 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 11: That position's open. 1568 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 19: I'm not too sure in the near future if the 1569 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 19: general manager of Pro rugby position becomes open, but if 1570 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 19: it does, are the three key jobs in New Zealand rugby. 1571 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 11: They've got to get those right. 1572 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,640 Speaker 19: I'd love to see a guy like Joe Schmidt, not 1573 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 19: necessarily be appointed to the coaching group because I don't 1574 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:10,880 Speaker 19: know if he wants to do that, but maybe be 1575 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 19: appointed as high performance manager or another management position. 1576 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 11: All those three have to be aligned. 1577 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 19: There's been a breakdown for a number of years and 1578 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,400 Speaker 19: the development of players and pathway players, it seems overall, Mike, 1579 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,280 Speaker 19: I think, yes, the All Blacks have been winning, but 1580 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 19: from what I understand, some of the players believe can't 1581 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 19: believe how they're carrying on, how they've been carrying on 1582 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 19: winning despite what's been happening at the top of that team. 1583 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 19: So they've got to get these posit all these positions right, 1584 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 19: and I think under David Kirk, you'd like to think 1585 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 19: they will. 1586 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Kirk. I don't have time for this, Jason, 1587 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,599 Speaker 2: but I'll ask you anyway. Maybe carry it on next week? 1588 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 2: What's going on with sport? Cricket resignation, netball resignation, railing 1589 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,240 Speaker 2: Castle reappointment, what the hell's going on? 1590 01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, very good question. 1591 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 16: Our three top sports don't have a CEO? 1592 01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,560 Speaker 11: What is going on? Right? Think about it? 1593 01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 16: But yeah, yeah, it just feels Yeah, it's an old 1594 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 16: way to start a new year, isn't it. But I'm 1595 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,519 Speaker 16: sure there'll be lots of chat about across good. 1596 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 2: If I start next week's segment banging on about myself again, 1597 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,639 Speaker 2: just reminds me that's what I wanted to actually talk about. 1598 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 11: Let's I think I think today we should have flipped 1599 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:12,960 Speaker 11: it around. 1600 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 19: Yeah, but the big question is should I should I 1601 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 19: get my Russell Simpson scalar up all stars out of 1602 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 19: the garage and start. 1603 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 2: Tell you what I'm feelings. 1604 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 11: I feel it? Can I feel a rematch coming on? 1605 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 11: I am coming to watch that. 1606 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:27,240 Speaker 16: I'm coming to watch that. 1607 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 11: When that happens. I need to do only the game. 1608 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 2: The only question mark I have is payce of serve 1609 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 2: At this point it used to be as you remember, 1610 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,640 Speaker 2: say two twenty two thirty k's each time, But I 1611 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,479 Speaker 2: just worry about the tennis and elbow now. 1612 01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:39,960 Speaker 11: And same with me. 1613 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,760 Speaker 19: I'd need I'd need several courtazone shots into the old 1614 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 19: right shoulder to get that wound up again. But I 1615 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 19: think there'd be a lot of interest in it. I 1616 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 19: think we'd be paid exhibition prices. 1617 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 2: I reckon it'll be big money there. I'm going to 1618 01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 2: get on to wats his face who had his leg 1619 01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:55,639 Speaker 2: or his face broken with that boxing the other day, 1620 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 2: and get some advice on that. Anyway, Nice to see 1621 01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:58,679 Speaker 2: you guys.

That 1625 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 2: saying exists for a reason because over Christmas many people 1626 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,960 Speaker 2: try to fix their ear issues themselves. Cotton buds, tissues, 1627 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,200 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff makes things worse often, and 1628 01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 2: ear is our actually in fact self cleaning and protective. 1629 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,639 Speaker 2: They function well when left alone. However, poking objects inside 1630 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 2: it causes all sorts of problems.

If you feel blocked or muffled, 1635 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 2: see a specialist for proper assessment.

The NFL playoffs continue today. Our first 1655 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 2: games at nine o'clock this morning, second games at midday, 1656 01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 2: and there's a program called Hard Knocks which has been 1657 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 2: going on. It's on HBO, which is channel ten on 1658 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 2: your Sky platform if you're into that, or Neon does 1659 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 2: the whole series all at once, but the new part 1660 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 2: is a thing called Hard Knocks in season if you're 1661 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,080 Speaker 2: in the NFL. And this year they've first time up, 1662 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,960 Speaker 2: They've done the NFC East. It's got Philadelphia, Dallas, Washington, 1663 01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 2: New York. The only reason I mentioned that it's a 1664 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: fascinating insight into how teams work. It's not necessarily about 1665 01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 2: the game and who won and who didn't lose them 1666 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 2: as it turns out, most of the lost because the useless. 1667 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 2: But it's how teams work, which is if you're into 1668 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,120 Speaker 2: that sort of thing. It's I found it fascinating and 1669 01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 2: it's current because the last episode includes Philadelphia and their 1670 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,720 Speaker 2: playoff game, which was only last week. So the six 1671 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,719 Speaker 2: episode series has been made as of late and remains 1672 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,439 Speaker 2: current to this day. So if you're looking for something 1673 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,559 Speaker 2: to watch, Neon or HBO twenty two to. 1674 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 1: Nine International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of 1675 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business, time to catch up with her. 1676 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 2: Old mate Steve Price. Morning made Happy New Year. 1677 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 7: Happy New Year to you. Yes we're all back. 1678 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,799 Speaker 2: Good on you the part. I mean several holiday questions 1679 01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 2: for you, the most obvious one of which is how 1680 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 2: is it that Elbanezi could have misread the Australian mood 1681 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 2: over anti emotism and the radicalization of Australia under his watch? 1682 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 7: So badly simple answer to that question and has been 1683 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,679 Speaker 7: put by others in these terms, he throws, So Bondai 1684 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 7: happens tragically, fifteen people gunned down. It was a due 1685 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 7: hatred crime. Obviously, it was Faranaka being celebrated on Bondai 1686 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,040 Speaker 7: Beach and the Prime Minister didn't know what to do. 1687 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 7: And you mentioned the poll. I mean his approval rating 1688 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 7: has crashed. It's the lowest approval rating since late twenty 1689 01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 7: twenty four and early twenty twenty five. And he just 1690 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 7: didn't know how to lead. And he spent week after 1691 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 7: week after week saying we don't need a royal commission. 1692 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,879 Speaker 7: When anybody, everybody realized that we didn't need a royal commission. 1693 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 7: And you know, it wasn't until a campaign that started 1694 01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:01,559 Speaker 7: and went for over a week where you had sporting stars, 1695 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:05,760 Speaker 7: business leaders, you know, everyone from James Packerd down to 1696 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 7: ex labor MPs. They all came out and said we 1697 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,680 Speaker 7: have to have a royal commission. And so finally he 1698 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 7: had to cave in and we'll get to in a 1699 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 7: moment what he's decided to do because parliament's back today. 1700 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 7: But that said, is approval rating absolutely collapsed. I mean, 1701 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,920 Speaker 7: the most interesting thing for me in this news follow 1702 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:27,720 Speaker 7: is one Nation. So the major parties everyone's just deserving them. 1703 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,640 Speaker 7: One Nation has now gone up its primary votes up 1704 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:34,679 Speaker 7: seven percent to twenty two over the last news follow 1705 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 7: was last year, coalitions down three to twenty one. So 1706 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 7: one Nation is in front of the coalition when it 1707 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 7: comes to the primary vote and a Labour's sitting at 1708 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 7: thirty two. No one has ever seen that, no one 1709 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 7: would have ever thought back, and now there's even discussion 1710 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 7: and where it goes or not that the I mean 1711 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 7: one nation is going to have going to be duchessed 1712 01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,600 Speaker 7: by the coalition and we might see the Nationals, the 1713 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 7: Liberals and one nation joined. Get it. 1714 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 2: But the question is, and this is the question I 1715 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:06,720 Speaker 2: ask British correspondent as regards reform and the defections to 1716 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,599 Speaker 2: that particular party when it comes down to it election day, 1717 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 2: is it real? 1718 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:16,599 Speaker 7: Well, it's real only in the fact that, unlike the UK, 1719 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,880 Speaker 7: we have preferential voting. So if you're a one if 1720 01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 7: you've deserted the National Party or the Liberal Party, more 1721 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 7: likely and put your hand up when you're asked in 1722 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 7: a poll where you're going to vote, who are going 1723 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 7: to vote? Gold you say one nation? You're likely then 1724 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,479 Speaker 7: to preference, are you not either the Liberals or the Nationals. 1725 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 7: And so the flow of preferences would mean that the 1726 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 7: one nation support, while strong and real, could mean that 1727 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:41,839 Speaker 7: it would actually benefit the coalition. 1728 01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 2: See the interesting thing about reform and Britain as they're 1729 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,519 Speaker 2: pulling and they pulled in a former Chancellor from the 1730 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 2: Tories that Jinrik has crossed the party. See Hanson's only 1731 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 2: got Joys and so they're left with a bunch of 1732 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,760 Speaker 2: dump the doos out of rural Australia. Are they the 1733 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 2: party if they actually got the vote that could actually 1734 01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 2: perform politically. 1735 01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,920 Speaker 7: Well, they won't govern. I think you're a little harsh 1736 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,920 Speaker 7: on them. I mean I had the cheapest stuff falling 1737 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 7: Hanson on the Sky Show late last year, no, actually 1738 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,479 Speaker 7: this year because I was filling in for Andrew Bob 1739 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 7: and he said they've got at least two maybe three 1740 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 7: new other star candidates that are well known to Australians, 1741 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 7: whether they're ex politicians or what that are going to 1742 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,919 Speaker 7: join the One Nation and they'll progressively announce those signings 1743 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 7: in the next couple of weeks. So we're just going 1744 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 7: to have to wait and see. I mean, we're one 1745 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,360 Speaker 7: nation govern Australian note course stop. Will they join a coalition? 1746 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 7: Probably not. What it probably means is that Labor, even 1747 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,760 Speaker 7: though their primary voters down in Anthony but he's widely unpopular, 1748 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 7: will get re elected in the next election, which is 1749 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 7: still a couple of years. 1750 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 2: AWA interesting tied in with Elbow and the Royal Commission 1751 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,719 Speaker 2: is of course this hate speech stuff, and the support 1752 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 2: seems to have collapsed, certainly from the Greens. Does that 1753 01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,080 Speaker 2: go anywhere? And if it does, how does he make 1754 01:20:59,120 --> 01:20:59,759 Speaker 2: it go anywhere? 1755 01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 7: We've got two days. There's condolence motions in the Parliament 1756 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 7: today for the tourist attack upon night, so that will 1757 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 7: take of all of today's parliamentary sitting. The bill itself 1758 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,920 Speaker 7: will be introduced tomorrow. The original plan by Anthony albernizi 1759 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 7: flawed and hopeless as it is, was that the bill 1760 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 7: had passed the lower House because obviously Labour's got a 1761 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 7: massive majority, and it would get to the Senate, and 1762 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 7: his hope in the beginning was that the Coalition would 1763 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 7: support it and so to freeze through the Senate. They 1764 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 7: had become law over two days and they'd all go 1765 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,800 Speaker 7: away and come back when parliament's supposed to resume. But 1766 01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 7: no one's supporting this bill. Anthony Alberze added gun laws 1767 01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 7: into it that upset the Nationals. No one wanted that, 1768 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 7: and then you've got this passage in the bill that 1769 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 7: no one likes, which is you can still, if you're 1770 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 7: reading direct from a religious text, speak of hatred toward people, 1771 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 7: and everyone's gone, well, what's the point exactly? And if 1772 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 7: you can sit around and read out of whatever the 1773 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 7: Bible kround whatever it is hate speech toward people and 1774 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 7: then your laws are hopeless. So he hasn't really changed 1775 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 7: that either, and so this thing's just going to go nowhere. 1776 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,920 Speaker 7: The Royal Commission will start and I don't know what 1777 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 7: the point of going back today actually is when you 1778 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 7: think about it, because no one's going to vote for it. 1779 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,400 Speaker 2: No other holiday question I have for you, especially for you, 1780 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 2: given you from Adelaide, how does the Writers' Festival turn 1781 01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 2: into the calamitous shambles of heirs? 1782 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 7: I mean, it's just there's a brilliant piece written by 1783 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,400 Speaker 7: a next edit of the Age, Michael Gwenda who is 1784 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 7: Jewish himself, in the Australian Today, which anyone wants to 1785 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,840 Speaker 7: read that online that explains it all. But you know, 1786 01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 7: in the wake of Bondi, the people organizing the festival 1787 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 7: thought it'd be a good idea to disinvite a woman 1788 01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:54,720 Speaker 7: who has been anti Israel forever. She is a hates Zionism, 1789 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 7: and so when she got told not to turn up, 1790 01:22:58,160 --> 01:22:59,679 Speaker 7: one hundred and eighty of the other writers. 1791 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 2: I did not to turn up. 1792 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 7: Then the board quit, then the chairman quit, and Nolten 1793 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:03,840 Speaker 7: got cancer. 1794 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 2: Unreal. Final holiday question for you the banning of the 1795 01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 2: under sixteens on social media with the passing of a 1796 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 2: little bit of time over the Christmas period. Do we 1797 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 2: have a verdict yet as to whether it's worked well. 1798 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,280 Speaker 7: The big social media organizations are putting out stats trying 1799 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 7: to prove that they've done the right thing, and a 1800 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 7: whole lot of accounts have been closed. But when you 1801 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 7: listen to any talkback radio in the country over summer, 1802 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,439 Speaker 7: you get parents ringing up every five minutes saying, I 1803 01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 7: will had no impact on my fifteen year old because 1804 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,800 Speaker 7: he's found himself a new account on whatever side he 1805 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 7: wants to be on. And they're all too smart, these kids, 1806 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 7: and they. 1807 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:45,880 Speaker 3: Got around it. 1808 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't have children of that age anymore, 1809 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,040 Speaker 7: so I don't know. But it doesn't seem to work. 1810 01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 11: Not. 1811 01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,840 Speaker 2: How's that weather been for yours? I watched those cars 1812 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 2: wash away on the Ocean Road the other day. What's 1813 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:57,240 Speaker 2: going on there? 1814 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,080 Speaker 7: Well, I'm down there. I'm going to drive through that 1815 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 7: part of the world today. It was horrendous and it 1816 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 7: came out of over one hundred and eighty three millimeters 1817 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,560 Speaker 7: of rain in an hour on the top of a 1818 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 7: mountain range that runs down to the coast. I mean, 1819 01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 7: what do you think is going to happen? Any small 1820 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 7: river or creek's going to just burst its banks and 1821 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 7: washed cars and caravan I mean, the miracles. There's been 1822 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,560 Speaker 7: a miracle this summer. We had massive bushfires in Victoria. 1823 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,920 Speaker 7: Last time we had fires that bad, seventy three people 1824 01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 7: were killed. We had the same strength of wind and 1825 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 7: fire this time. Sadly one person died. Only and when 1826 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 7: you talk about those pictures of those caravan parks, now 1827 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 7: no one died when that flash flood went through flimsy 1828 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 7: tents and caravans. I've got no idea, but no one 1829 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 7: was even injured. 1830 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 2: Good to see you, mate, Great to have you back 1831 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 2: for another Yearde prices back On Wednesday fourteen to. 1832 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 1: Two the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 1833 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 1: Howard By News talks a. 1834 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 2: B eleven away from nine to three point four per 1835 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 2: seed just before we leave Australia three point four percent 1836 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 2: for November. That's their latest inflation number that came out 1837 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,720 Speaker 2: day or so. Back next meetings in February, there is 1838 01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 2: a suggestion that a hike is coming lower than the 1839 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 2: three point eight in October. So they're all sort of 1840 01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 2: trending in the right direction. And then we come to 1841 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 2: and I think we've got a trend here because there 1842 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 2: was some consternation or a moderate amount of disappointment or 1843 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 2: upset or whatever word you want to use here. Boxing 1844 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:28,560 Speaker 2: Day sales weren't quite what they used to be, and 1845 01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 2: that was the expectation, is the economy turning, are we 1846 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,679 Speaker 2: spending money? Blah blah blah. But what most people seem 1847 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,720 Speaker 2: to have missed, and I noted this is the same 1848 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,519 Speaker 2: in Britain, and it's the same in Australia. Headline I 1849 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 2: read was I thought it would be Mayhem, but Black 1850 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 2: Friday now reigned supreme. So what's happened is that I 1851 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 2: don't think we need to place the emphasis that we 1852 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,799 Speaker 2: used to on Boxing Day as being the day for sales, 1853 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,680 Speaker 2: and it wasn't here, it wasn't in Australia, and it 1854 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:54,559 Speaker 2: wasn't in Britain. I mean, plenty of people still out 1855 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:58,040 Speaker 2: buying stuff, but Black Friday's materially changed the way we 1856 01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 2: do business. In other words, the endings up front, we 1857 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 2: found another excuse to spend money earlier. So we have 1858 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,040 Speaker 2: so black Fridays where it's at in places like America 1859 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:10,200 Speaker 2: as well, and therefore Boxing Day is not what it 1860 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 2: used to be. The other thing that came out there 1861 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 2: was a poll, and I just wonder if this is 1862 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 2: an election campaign, not that there is an election coming 1863 01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 2: up in Australia anytime soon, but nevertheless the poll suggested 1864 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,439 Speaker 2: that they need far greater at this out of Bondi 1865 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 2: and the Royal Commission and all that sort of thing. 1866 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,080 Speaker 2: I don't know what I mean to defend Albanezi just momentarily. 1867 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 2: I mean, what does a Royal Commission achieve? I mean, 1868 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't bring anyone back. It doesn't stop a nut 1869 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 2: at getting a gun, I mean, and you can change 1870 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 2: the gun laws. You don't need a Royal Commission for that. 1871 01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,639 Speaker 2: And so you can run your own hate speech lawyers. 1872 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 2: You don't need a Royal commission for that. What does 1873 01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 2: a Royal Commission actually tell you? You know, does it 1874 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,600 Speaker 2: say that if we had said this, done this on 1875 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,720 Speaker 2: this day at that time, that wouldn't have happened. Of course, 1876 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,560 Speaker 2: it's not going to say that. So Therefore, what's the 1877 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 2: point anyway? Most people support a royal commission, obviously, is 1878 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,080 Speaker 2: Steve mentioned, But the other point is that what they 1879 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 2: wanted a far greater screening at the border, and so 1880 01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 2: anyone who delivers that's probably going to gain some votes. 1881 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,439 Speaker 2: Nine Away from nine the. 1882 01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 1: Mike Costing Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities News togsad B. 1883 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 2: Guess what's happening in Japan tomorrow? They're firing up for 1884 01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 2: Kashuma again. And this is my ongoing nuclear thing, not 1885 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 2: that we'll ever get here, but they've gone through a process. 1886 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,360 Speaker 2: The authorities have approved the decision to restart it. It's 1887 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 2: world's biggest nuclear plant, Turkyo Electric Power Company runs and 1888 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 2: of course there are seven reactors. Number six is going 1889 01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,679 Speaker 2: to get fired up as of tomorrow. They think they've 1890 01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 2: got it under control. And of course, with the world 1891 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,080 Speaker 2: of data centers, there was a I can't remember what city, 1892 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,960 Speaker 2: but I gave you the details broadly last year that 1893 01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:48,360 Speaker 2: there are regions in America where there are big data centers, 1894 01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 2: AI operators and all the big tech companies are coming 1895 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,160 Speaker 2: in and the price of powers trebled in some places 1896 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,800 Speaker 2: because they use so much power. They suck the grid 1897 01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,280 Speaker 2: dry basically, and so Microsoft have come out and said, 1898 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,080 Speaker 2: we'll have to subsidize you. So I think that's the 1899 01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 2: way forward. But obviously the more power, the better bit 1900 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 2: nuclear helps that particular equation. I think the Japanese might 1901 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:09,959 Speaker 2: have worked that out five minutes away from nine. 1902 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 1: Trending now with chemist Well's great savings every day. 1903 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 2: Now, this guy, I'm assuming it's Daoople, Tony Dacoople. He's 1904 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 2: the CBS evening news anchor. He's new, he's only been 1905 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,280 Speaker 2: there for a very short period of time. Anyway, last 1906 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 2: week he ended his broadcast like this. 1907 01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:30,080 Speaker 15: It is a sign of how Florida, once an American punchline, 1908 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 15: has become. 1909 01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 3: A leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you. 1910 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:35,920 Speaker 7: Now. 1911 01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:40,560 Speaker 2: CBS has found itself also in the headlines because he 1912 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 2: did an interview with Trump and it was thirteen minutes long, 1913 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 2: and they then rang him and said you better run 1914 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,600 Speaker 2: the whole thirteen minutes, to which he acquiesced where he 1915 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 2: said yes or CBS said yes, And that appeared to 1916 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 2: be that because what's the name? Levitt said, if you don't, 1917 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:01,760 Speaker 2: will quote unquote sue your ass off. And so they've 1918 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,839 Speaker 2: already had their eyes sued off. I think at CBS 1919 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,040 Speaker 2: and have written appropriate chicks. Anyway, that's all too much 1920 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 2: for Jim Acosta. Remember Jim Acosta, he worked at CNN, 1921 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,160 Speaker 2: He's been on the I've Had It podcast. 1922 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,720 Speaker 21: The anchor of the CBS Evening News ended his newscast 1923 01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 21: by saying, we salute you, Marco Rubio. I mean, not 1924 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 21: only was Walter Cronkite spinning in his grave, I was 1925 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,880 Speaker 21: hoping he would come back from the Great Beyond to 1926 01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 21: choke the living. 1927 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,600 Speaker 2: And say, what the are you doing? Put out a 1928 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,280 Speaker 2: statement and it was like, we love America and we 1929 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 2: won't apologize for it. 1930 01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 3: And I'm like, that's not your job. Your job isn't 1931 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 3: to feel emotion towards America. Your job is a slitless 1932 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:48,040 Speaker 3: pursuit of the truth. Also, get the out of here. 1933 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 2: We all love America, That's why we're doing this. A Costa, 1934 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,320 Speaker 2: of course, was booted from CNN because they threatened to 1935 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,240 Speaker 2: move into the graveyard shift and the cost used to 1936 01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 2: have regular run ins with Trump. One point the guy 1937 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,000 Speaker 2: I mean she at Dakoupal, who's only been there for 1938 01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:04,799 Speaker 2: a very short period of time. It is increasingly suggested 1939 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 2: he's not going to last because he's been a disaster 1940 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:09,360 Speaker 2: and ever since he turned up the ratings and started 1941 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 2: going backwards. Mike, before you sign off today, how about 1942 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 2: a nod to the Seahawks fantastic win against the forty 1943 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,360 Speaker 2: nine ers yesterday. Yes, it was. It was very very 1944 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 2: good game. I play like that they'll probably win the 1945 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,599 Speaker 2: Super Bowl back tomorrow, Happy Days. 1946 01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 1947 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,160 Speaker 1: news talks that be from six am weekdays, or follow 1948 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
