But to good news for 15 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 2: sport for you this morning, as the government has instructed 16 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: Sport in New Zealand to change their guidelines around the 17 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 2: participation in the trans area. Fairness and safety are what 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: the government is after, not diversity, inclusion and equity, which 19 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: is currently what guides them. It's part of the coalition 20 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: agreement driven by New Zealand First, but also comes as 21 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: a result of fifty Olympians who put their names to 22 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: a plea that suggested the Labour Party view of sport 23 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: disrespect to the principles of fairness and safety. And I 24 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: admire those athletes because in this day and age is 25 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: sad as it is to say, speaking your mind freely 26 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: is not a pastime easily enjoyed in this country or 27 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 2: as common as it should be. The most egregious part 28 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: of the current rules are self identification of gender. In 29 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: other words, you decide you're a woman despite the fact 30 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: biologically you are not, and then that is all that's 31 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: required at community level. I mean, think about it. Let's 32 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: be honest. Someone twice the size or strength rocks up. 33 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: What sort of message in outworking is that sending? What 34 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: are you supposed to do with that as a coach 35 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: or administrator or a club captain. Like a lot of 36 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: what the last government did, it was all whiteboard, psycho babble, 37 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: all driven by fields. By the time you got to 38 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: kick off, it wasn't close to being the real world. 39 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: And that's before you get to the elite end of matters. 40 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: Whether this area is being fiddled with sport by a 41 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: sport country by country administration by administration in a very messy, 42 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: very ad hoc way that does know in any favors. 43 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: This instruction to sport in New Zealand falls under the 44 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: title of what you would loosely call common sense, and 45 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: being common sense, it's not unfair to suggest it never 46 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: should have got as out of hand as it has. 47 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop, the Minister, calls it a genuinely tricky area, 48 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: and he's right, but he's also being polite because it 49 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: didn't and doesn't have to be as tricky as they've 50 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: made it. Just making up your gender and then enrolling 51 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: in the sport with nothing more to it than that 52 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 2: is not right. It's not sensible, it's not logical, it's 53 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: not fair, and it should never have got to where 54 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: it has. 55 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds. 56 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: Well Milton's Late Florida is being hit by the outer 57 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: reaches as we speak. But if you haven't left, they 58 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: haven't given up convincing you to do so. 59 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: We have a storm surge warning in effect for almost 60 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: the entire west coast of Florida from me A Yankee 61 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: town all the way to Flamingo. If you were in 62 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: those storm surge evacuation zones in that region. Please escape 63 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: now while you still can. Now, let's move on to 64 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: the wind threat. 65 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 2: In Tampa at the hospital, a bit worried about the sooge. 66 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 4: In the event that we saw higher water that would 67 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: maybe possibly breach over there. 68 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: We've strategically placed large pumps behind the fence that we 69 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 3: would pump the water out. 70 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 5: We don't think that's going to happen. 71 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: We hope not. We'll go to Florida shortly. Meantime, in Britain, 72 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: the penultimate round of the bike to find a Rishi replacement. 73 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: We've got a boil over. 74 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 6: Jimmy Badenoch forty two votes, James Cleverly thirty seven votes, 75 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 6: and Robert Jenrick forty one votes. 76 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: Others blike bags generic, but was genuinely surprised. 77 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 7: It's genuinely a good idea not to get too clever 78 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 7: for your own good and get into all these complex 79 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 7: sort of house of cards theories about X lending votes 80 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 7: to why to denies. 81 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: It to win this house to cards business, This blike 82 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: now seems this woman winning. 83 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 8: As we look at the difficult rodback for us, the 84 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 8: lessons that we have to learn after the last election, 85 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 8: and the need to reformulate some of our policies that 86 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 8: Kemy is the candidate in my view that can take 87 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 8: us on that journey because of course, of. 88 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Course, to Kimmy Bednock. We'll talk to Rod later, but 89 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: we can't forget the Middle East where the bombing is 90 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: relentless and by route because the locals and on hiding 91 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: all the weapons. 92 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 9: This Balla spent decades building up the stock bales of weapons, 93 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 9: including advanced precision gated missiles supplayed by Iran and deliberately 94 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 9: manufactures and stores them dip inside civilian areas. 95 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: Finally got an eighteen year old from the Paul got 96 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: himself a new record this morning who has become the 97 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: youngest to climb the world's fourteen highest mountains. Nima Sherper 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: is his name. He's become just one of a few 99 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: dozen to ever climb what they call the eight Thousanders. 100 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: These are the fourteen mountains recognized as more than eight 101 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: thousand meters above sea level. He did them all over 102 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: a seven hundred and forty day period and did the 103 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: final one just a couple of days after finishing each 104 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: school exams, and he took the record off another Nepalese 105 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: climber who held the record at thirty years old. But 106 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: then again, when you're thirty you don't climb as well 107 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: as you do when you're eighteen, So I would have 108 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: thought that had an eighteen year old that was well anyway, 109 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: destinies for the world in ninety seconds. By the way, 110 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: just the numbers on the Tory vote Bad or Not 111 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: and Jeneka your final two batter not got forty two, 112 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: so she won that vote General forty one. He's been 113 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: the leader up in this point cleverly with thirty seven's 114 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: now gone. So those final two Generic and Badknock, and 115 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: this is where it changes. They now go to the 116 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: party membership. Up until now it's only been the MP's voting, 117 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: So Bad Knock and Generic go to the party membership, 118 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: of which there are many thousands. They have to think 119 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: about it, have a vote and we will know the outcome. 120 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: By November two, twelve past six. 121 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 122 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: My News Talk Zippy. 123 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: In My never ending Fascination with Democracy, they've been voting, 124 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: as I told you about a week and a half ago, 125 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: because it's taken a little bit of time in Huyana 126 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: and Kashmere. This is out of India, of course, and 127 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: there's been surprises in both, and in both the exit 128 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: polls were completely and utterly wrong. They predicted a hung 129 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: assembly in Cashma, but an alliance of the main opposition 130 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: Congress and the NCP. They're on course for not just 131 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: a win bit of landslide. Meantime, in Huyana they got 132 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: a ninety six parliament. They were predicting the Congress landslide, 133 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 2: so not only Congress to wind bit of landslide. Turns 134 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: out Mody's party of the BJP completely wrong. They're going 135 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 2: to get a third, an unprecedented third consecutive to fifteen 136 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: past six. Those poles, you can't trust the poles, right, oh, 137 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: fifteen past six, j My Wealth, Andrew. 138 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 10: Keller Haw, good morning, very good morning, Mike. 139 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: Fifty it was. 140 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 10: Fifty, It was yep. We got the jumbo cut, didn't we. 141 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 6: Fifty basis points taken the Oceada four point seventy five, 142 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 6: completely in line with market expectations. Just on that fifty 143 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 6: basis point, Mike, and on this you know, this jumbo cut. 144 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 6: There's nothing really that unusual about a fifty basis point 145 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 6: move in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three when the 146 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 6: Reserve Bank was putting the rates up with gusto and enthusiasm. 147 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 6: We got eight in a row and there was a 148 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 6: seventy five one in there as well. 149 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 10: So if they want to. 150 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 6: Move this fifty base one, nothing unusual in it, just 151 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 6: just on the fifty basis points. The Montrey Policy Committee 152 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 6: did debate a twenty five or a fifty basis point move, 153 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 6: and they rightfully decided that fifty basis points was consistent 154 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 6: with the committee's mandate, which is encouraging, isn't it look 155 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 6: no real forward guidance there, Mike, It was quite a 156 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 6: short statement in a relatively concise summary of the Monetary 157 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 6: Policy Committee meeting. Pricing in the money markets is or 158 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 6: forward pricing in the money markets is saying another fifty 159 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 6: basis points in November. So the arbyenz was in sync 160 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 6: with the market this time around. We would suggest that 161 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 6: that continues. Just looking at the commentary, inflation is assessed 162 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 6: as being in the one to three percent band and 163 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 6: converging on the two percent midpoint. But when you get 164 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 6: past that, it's a very somber read on the state 165 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 6: of the New Zealand economy coming from a committee that 166 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 6: in May was in quite a different place, and they 167 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 6: talked that interest rates might have to remain restrictive for 168 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 6: longer than anticipated. They say things like economic activities subdued 169 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 6: in part due to restrictive monetary policy. Their words not 170 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: mine economic growth is weak. We are in a position 171 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 6: of excess capacity, which allows and encourages price and wage 172 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 6: setting to adjust to a low inflation economy. They do 173 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 6: say there are global risks as well. Looks important the committee. 174 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 6: The committee thinks that inflation will remain around the midpoint 175 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 6: in the medium term, and Mike, we had our Internal 176 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 6: Investment Committee meeting yesterday after the announcement. The question was asked, 177 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 6: if the economy is as described and inflation is expected 178 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 6: to remain at the midpoint, and monetary policy is restrictive, 179 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 6: why wouldn't the RBNZ move faster to get the ocr 180 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 6: down to a neutral rate? 181 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 10: And that's the endpoint. Well, you know, that's a very 182 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 10: valid question. 183 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 6: I looked in there to see is there any clues 184 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 6: as to why they did talk about seeking to avoid 185 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 6: unnecessary instability and things like. 186 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 10: Interest rate exchange rates. 187 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 6: They also said that, you know, domestic price setting behavior, 188 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 6: which is really the inflation driver still risks that further 189 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 6: adjustments might be faster or slower than currently expected. But 190 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 6: I do want to make the point the problem here 191 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 6: is even if you get a fifty point move in November, 192 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 6: you then get a big break till February. 193 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 10: At the current rate, you don't get to the neutral. 194 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 6: Rate until the middle of next years, months and months 195 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 6: and months away from here. 196 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 10: Data is important. 197 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 6: You got CPI next week early November, You've got labor 198 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 6: market data. There's they're keeping an eye on global developments. 199 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: You get a bit of We got a speech next 200 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 6: week on the transmission of monetary policy, so I think 201 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 6: that will be interesting. 202 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 10: Now, just another question. 203 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 6: If the CPI confirmation of where the CPI is is important, 204 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 6: the CPI announcement is next week, why wouldn't you schedule 205 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 6: the meeting around, you know, after the. 206 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 10: CPIM actually because every three months. Yeah, anyway, that's an 207 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 10: interesting question. 208 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 6: Anyway, market reaction interest rates, well, they barely moved because 209 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 6: it's all priced in New Zealand dollars quite a bit 210 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 6: lower at. 211 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 10: Point six oh sixty two. 212 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 6: And I guess that's a risk moving forward if if 213 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 6: you know, monetary policy starts to divergeb it between US 214 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 6: and other places. Now you've got a good pop par 215 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 6: in the Sheer market at one point seventy five percent 216 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 6: gain there, So interesting days. 217 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: Mike, Ain't that the truth? On that note? Give us 218 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: the numbers, right? 219 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 10: So the US market, they're actually in positive territory. 220 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 6: So the the Dow Jones is up point nine two percent, 221 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 6: it's up three hundred and eighty eight points four two 222 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 6: four six eight. The S and P five hundred, it's 223 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 6: up twenty five points, which is zero point four four. 224 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 10: Percent five seven seven six. 225 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 6: The Nasik is also up to seventy two pointser point 226 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 6: four percent eighteen thousand. 227 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 10: Two hundred and fifty four. 228 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 6: The Fortune one hundred overnight gain fifty three points eight 229 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 6: two four three. The Japanese market, the Nick up three 230 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 6: hundred and forty points, just under one percent three nine 231 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 6: two seven eight. Now these Asian markets, Shanghai compers it 232 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 6: did fall fell six points sixty two percent, that's two 233 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 6: hundred and thirty one points. They hang sing This Hong 234 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 6: Kong market fell one point four percent. 235 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 10: Those markets still a lot higher than they were a 236 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 10: month ago. They're just very volatile. 237 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 6: A SX two hundred game ten points yesterday eight and 238 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 6: eighty seven, and as I said, the Zidex fifty good 239 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 6: pop Pire one point seventy five percent, closing at twelve 240 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 6: seven hundred and seventy six Key eight point six oh 241 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 6: six to oz against the US point nine zero two two, 242 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 6: Ossie point five five three eight, Euro point four six 243 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 6: three seven against the pound ninety point four three Japanese 244 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 6: yen gold two thousand, six hundred and eight dollars and 245 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 6: Brentkrude seventy six dollars and twenty seven. 246 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: So well, catch up tomorrow, Andrew kelliher jmiwalfth dot co 247 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: dot n z taskeet boeing.

Then interest rate shot up, house 262 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: prices crashed back down. Today Kiwis are finally getting off 263 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: the three year fiscal and monetary roller coaster.

The number of designs that they have produced 347 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: and published and the variety is absolutely mind blowing. 348 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 14: My mind is well and truly blown. 349 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: And the Nobel Committee are not known for saying things 350 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: like absolutely mind blowing. So the is Your Chemistry Prize 351 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: twenty two to seven out to Italy and Joe in 352 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: a couple of moments back here and insight into how 353 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: we handle emergency management better now. For years in this country, 354 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: every time it's asked to strike the artworking steam to 355 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: indicate that a lot of people didn't do their job 356 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: or communication could have been better, blah blah blah. Anyway, 357 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: a new plan today. The Emergency Management Minister is, of 358 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: course Mike Mitchell, who was with us. Good morning, Good morning, Mike. 359 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: The broad claim and we've seen this for years that 360 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: when something happens in an emergency status, we clean it 361 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: up and then we find out we didn't do a 362 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: very good job. What changes now? 363 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 12: Yes, so that is true. It hasn't always been a 364 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 12: lot of movement in terms of the recommendations have come through, 365 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 12: although that's not entirely few, there has been some change. 366 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 12: You know, we are fully committed. We realize and recognize 367 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 12: that we're a country that's going to be continued to 368 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 12: be hit with these weather events. We carry the risk 369 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 12: of a tsunami or an earthquake. We've seen three of 370 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 12: those the last couple of weeks, and so we're motivated 371 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 12: to make sure that we strengthen our resilience and our 372 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 12: ability to be able to respond to those. 373 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: So what does this mean? More money, more resource better 374 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: people want. 375 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 12: All of those things, so, you know, more training, more 376 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 12: professionalism and the sector. But I have to say that 377 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 12: it always feels a bit unfear when I sort of 378 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 12: say that, because having been around the country and having 379 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 12: had six local states emergency and a couple of them 380 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 12: across regions, we've already got outstanding people doing a job. 381 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 12: We just got to make sure that we better support 382 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 12: them with proper legislation that recognizes everyone's role throughout society 383 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 12: in terms of how we respond to these emergencies. More 384 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 12: training and investment into systems. 385 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: See I wonder, and you'll argue back about this, but 386 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: you're a nice guy. You go into the regions and 387 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: you meet fellow nice people, and they're all nice people, 388 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: but it's all Dad's army. And in that is the problem. 389 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: Is that fair or unfair? 390 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 12: No, that's that's not fair. That's very outstanding. And the 391 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 12: results speak to themselves, is that there's been outstanding results. 392 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 12: I mean, in all fairness, after the lessons lured after 393 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 12: Gabriel last year, before we came into government, it was 394 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 12: already responding. The sector was already responding. And no, I 395 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 12: just see extremely professional people, first responders, volunteers that always 396 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 12: stand up. It's well coordinated that there's definitely they've taken 397 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 12: lessons learned already. The Port Hills fires was a clessic 398 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 12: example when you had a suboptimal response in twenty seventeen 399 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 12: and then you fast forward to the Port Fills fires 400 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 12: that we had this year. The fire ground, the management 401 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 12: deal was outstanding. The police are doing their job, the 402 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 12: cedium controllers, communication with the communities that they that they serve. 403 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: It was chalk and cheese, all right, So what about 404 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: the what I think it's why right? Correct me if 405 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: I'm wrong. The River Mouth situation, where a lot of 406 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: the locals were very angry. They said, look, we know this, 407 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,239 Speaker 2: We've told you no one did anything about it. How 408 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: much of that is there? 409 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 12: So that was that was down to the fact that 410 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 12: the Regional Council I should have done some more words 411 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 12: around how that was dealt with. The rivermouth was dealt 412 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 12: with the district, the Warra District Council themselves. We needed 413 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 12: a controller there. All of their team outstanding response, just 414 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 12: like when they got hit with Gabriel. They've got good 415 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 12: leadership there, a very good team there. All the first 416 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 12: responders are out. You know when I found Wire straight 417 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 12: after Gabriel, they were running things out of the local 418 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 12: right in North Flyde. So the communities will respond. 419 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 15: Of course. 420 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 12: With Warra we put a we put a Crown Manager 421 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 12: and every quickment. We've got Lawrence Yule and they're making 422 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 12: sure that he works between the Wire Council, District Council 423 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 12: and the Regional Council to facilitate and speed up the 424 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 12: recovery and the mitigation work that needs to be done. 425 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 2: But you go in here now with what a high 426 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 2: level of confidence that we're not going to have this 427 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: of response we've had previously or not. 428 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 12: Yeah, I do have a high level of conference in 429 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 12: our people at the moment around the country, without a doubt, 430 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 12: all the means of showing leadership the CES, our controllers, 431 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 12: all of our CDM teams, first responders, community groups. But 432 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 12: what we have to do is we have to be 433 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 12: ready for a really big event across region to make 434 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 12: sure that we can respond to that as well. 435 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: All right, good on you, Mark Mitchell, the Emergency Management Minister. 436 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: I reckon it's a top down thing. I think people 437 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: have just been looking for a little bit of leadership 438 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: marks their man and that's why you've seen the improvement 439 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: you have have of like eighteen away from seven skating 440 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: housing this morning, given the fifty points and all that 441 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. The massive University Home Affordability Report, it's 442 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: improved in the last three months has been a four 443 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: point four percent improvement. Have you seen that you're feeling 444 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: that now more affordable? Still only ten times, just ten times. 445 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: And the problem I've got with these DTIs these debt 446 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: to income ratios. They're set at six times and the 447 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: average house is ten times. So you know, join some 448 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: dots and find out where the problem is. Eighteen to two. 449 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 450 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: by News Talks B. 451 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: I knew you would get some of this, Mike Gumboot. 452 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: Friday twenty four million, the government hauled up one point 453 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: nine million thrown at mental health and no improvement. Where 454 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: is the investigation? It's not a bad question, but we 455 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: need to dip into this after seven o'clock and we 456 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: will six forty. 457 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: Five international correspondence with ends at Eye Insurance, peace of 458 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 459 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: Right itly go McKenna, how are you great? 460 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 16: How are you mine? 461 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 2: Very well? Indeed, so the league are gathering in Milan 462 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: or all the glad and the good and the happy 463 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: attending well. 464 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 16: This was last weekend and it was interesting to see 465 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 16: the lineup. The Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Auburn, the Dutch 466 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 16: right wing leader Geed Fielders. They were all there to 467 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 16: rally support for Matteo Salvini, hailing him as a hero 468 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 16: for defending Italy's borders and blocking migrant arrivals. But also 469 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 16: significantly they were there ahead of his court case which 470 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 16: is going on in Palermo. Prosecutors have requested a six 471 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 16: year prison term from mister Sloveni in relation to him 472 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 16: blocking migrants on border a ship when he stopped them 473 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 16: from landing at Lampaduza in August twenty nineteen. 474 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: How does this stuff play out in domestic Italian politics? 475 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: Is it Silvini who's done well with the border, or 476 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 2: is it Maloney who's done well with the border, or 477 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: do they scrap about that or are you just happy 478 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 2: they're doing well with the border? 479 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 16: Look, I think most people are getting on with it, 480 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 16: and I really do appreciate that the Coalitionion government has 481 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 16: done a lot to restrict the number of migrants. It's 482 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 16: certainly gone away as an issue, and I think, as 483 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 16: we know, there have been more arrivals in Spain in 484 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 16: recent months than in Italy, So I think that's considered 485 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 16: a plus for the moment for this government. 486 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: And how is it handled when you talk about builders 487 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 2: and all those guys. When you look at what happened 488 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: in Austria just the other weekend, you've got right wing, 489 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: far right wing, right right wing and then you got 490 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: say a Maloney Salvini, which you might regard as more 491 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: slightly more moderate. Do they differentiate between the levels of 492 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 2: extremism or not? Really they do? 493 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 16: I think in domestic politics not so much on an 494 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 16: international level. But we've seen just you and I have 495 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 16: been discussing differences that they've had over Ukraine and Russia. 496 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 16: For example, Slvini lines up much more pro Russian than 497 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 16: he does Ukrainian, and that is something that has been 498 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 16: a point of difference between these coalition partners. 499 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: Interesting now, I was thinking about this the other day 500 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: when I read it, So the Trivi Fountain. I first 501 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: discovered the Trivia Fountain purely by accident. I didn't even 502 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: know where I was, and I came around a corner 503 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 2: and there was the I thought, what's that. Why are 504 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: all these people gathered? And I thought, oh my god, 505 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: that's the Trivia Fountain. So how are they going to 506 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: charge you to do that if people like me can 507 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 2: just bumble upon it by accident. 508 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 16: Indeed, because anyone who's been there knows, as you just said, 509 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 16: it's in the middle of cross streets, so you just 510 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 16: sort of stroll across it. You don't actually know where 511 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 16: it is. They've closed it down for a two month cleanup, 512 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 16: and so at the moment visitors will be crossing a 513 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 16: suspended walkway to have a look at the empty fountain, 514 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 16: and then they're talking about charging visitors after that, and 515 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 16: how are they going to do that. It sounds like 516 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 16: they're going to have to put something around it to 517 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 16: minimize the access, and I'm not quite sure how that's 518 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 16: going to take place. 519 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: And it's the weirdest thing. How much would you charge 520 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: because I wouldn't pay you anything because that was I 521 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: saw it, and I thought, God, that's underwhelming. 522 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 16: Yeah, I know, I mean, and everyone's still throwing the 523 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 16: coin over their shoulder. Just that whole myth about if 524 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 16: I throw a coin over my shoulder iver coming back. 525 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 16: So surely they've got enough money out of that. But 526 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 16: this sounds like a cynical money making exercise. I think 527 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 16: as we go into the Vatican Jubilee year next year. 528 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: It's the weirdest thing. What's that art gallery down the 529 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: other end of town? And I discovered that by accidents 530 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: as well. I win saw some Madigliani's there now that 531 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: with the one with the massive steps going up the front. 532 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 13: Oh, quite beautiful. 533 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 16: In the gardens, in the Bogazi gardens, it's a beautiful. 534 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 15: See. 535 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: I'd rather pay money to go see that than I 536 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 2: would be Tribu Fountain. 537 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely, But you know there's still plenty of tourists 538 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 16: around Rome at the moment. 539 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: Mink good Hourrah, Now what's this. I've never heard of 540 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: this town that's blocking the migrants to play sport. What's 541 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: their problem? 542 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 13: Yep. 543 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 16: This is a small town up near Treist. It's called 544 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 16: mont Falcone and this is a town that has thirty 545 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 16: thousand people, one third of migrants, and it's got a 546 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 16: very right wing mayor at the moment and a Maria 547 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 16: Chistin who's aligned with Maloney and Salvini, and she's trying 548 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 16: to stop the Bangladeshis and the other South Asian migrants 549 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 16: from playing cricket in the town. She's also trying to 550 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 16: stop them from their Muslim worship and banning bukinis on 551 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 16: the beach. But the cricket is the main thing that's 552 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 16: making headlines because these these poor miagrants want to have 553 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 16: a go and practice their cricket and compete, and they 554 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 16: say that she says that there it's a danger to 555 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 16: the windows of houses and damaging parked cars. 556 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: All right, you go, well, Joe, we'll catch up on 557 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 2: next Thursday. And I appreciate it very much. That's Joe McKinnon. 558 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 2: Gallery of Boys, But geese actually it's geesee. Well the 559 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: villa is the other one. Is Joe still there? No, 560 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: it's a shame. The villa in the park is the 561 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: other one. I'd pay money. That's beautiful villa in the 562 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: park just down the road from my sister's place that 563 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: you paid to go see. But the Trivy Fountain, if 564 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: you've never seen the Trivy Fountain in life, it really 565 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: is fantastically underwhelming. Night Away from seven. 566 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: Called the Mike costing Breakfast with Us dog. 567 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: ZV like the market's now pricing in a fifty basis 568 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: point cut in November, a dune deal pricing in a 569 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: twenty percent chance of a seventy five percent cut there 570 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 2: as well. I don't see that coming because we've got 571 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: Adrian running the place. But we'll talk to the bank shortly. Meantime, 572 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: as we stand by for Milton, Biden's working hard on misinformation. 573 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 17: There's simply no place for this to happen. Former President 574 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 17: Trump has led the onslaught of lies. Assertions have been 575 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 17: made that property is being confiscated. That's simply not true. 576 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 17: They're saying people impacted by these storms will received seven 577 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 17: hundred and fifty dollars in cash and no more. That's 578 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 17: simply not true. They're saying the money is needed for 579 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 17: this crisis is being diverted to migrants. What a ridiculous 580 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 17: thing to say. It's not true. Now the claims are 581 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 17: getting even more bizarre. Congressroom Marjorie Taylor green E conmomssroom 582 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 17: in Georgia is now saying the federal government is literally 583 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 17: controlling the weather. We're controlling the weather. It's becund ridiculous. 584 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 17: It's got to stop. 585 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs. It's a bizs with 586 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: business fiber take your business productivity to the mixed level. 587 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: The losses in Tamper is with US south of seven 588 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 2: o'clock meantime, z Spree, they're looking to have another credit 589 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: this twelve month supply globally. So this is for their 590 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: sun gold products. So a couple of years ago, and 591 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: we covered it at the time. The idea they wanted 592 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: to get it done was to combat what China's doing. 593 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 2: Growers here had a vote, didn't like it, so now 594 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: they're having another draft proposal. So they want to basically 595 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: grow an additional four hundred and twenty hectares of sun 596 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: gold a year, and they want to do it in 597 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: literally France, Japan, South Korea and Greece. That would mean 598 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: that zespre banded fruit and this is the key that 599 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: zespre branded fruit could be sold all year round globally. 600 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: Still need seventy five percent by the growers, and there's 601 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: still a bit of pushback because the issue is a 602 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 2: lot of growers don't own shares. Less than fifty percent 603 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: of all kiwifruit supplies, by the way, don't own shares. 604 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 2: So they say there's not enough benefit in them from 605 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: the obyss's plan to go ahead. Anyway, Zesbury's full year 606 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: revenue for twenty four is four point two billion. They 607 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: say these extra four hundred and twenty hectares could mix 608 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: sixty percent demand for the twenty thirty three season and 609 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: limit the amount of damage in a bad season here. 610 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: In other words, you're growing more fruit and you're covering 611 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: your bases internationally so that Chinese don't sneak in and say, well, 612 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: you can't get the real things. So here's some of ours. Anyway, 613 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: they decide shortly whether to take it to another vote. 614 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: There's a little bit has proven going on as politics 615 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: at play here. They claim they're seeing a material increase 616 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: in support, so they think they're increasingly bullish, whether they 617 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 2: go again for another vote, they can get it across 618 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: the line. I'm all in favor of them. The sooner 619 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: they do it, the better, and I was very disappointed 620 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two they didn't do it. But nevertheless, 621 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: you know, if your own cheers, your own chairs, and 622 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 2: he's entitled the vote. Vittoria's short runs a bank, so 623 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: she's in a good position to be able to tell 624 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: us what fifty bases points mean, whether fifty more is coming, 625 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: whether people suddenly ask for more money, whether borrowing more 626 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: money is actually the answer to our economic woes, whether 627 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: we just feel a bit better, whether Nikola Willis is 628 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: right and better days are coming. As I mentioned Dave's 629 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: in Tampa, he's standing by Malcolm Gladwell looking forward to 630 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: the catch up. He hasn't been with us for a 631 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: couple of years. But there's a bloke writes a book. 632 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: His whole world changes, his whole life is tipped upside down. 633 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: So he's decided to write another book and see if 634 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: it all happens again. Malcolm Gladwell is with us after 635 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: a meantime. News is next. You're a news talking said. 636 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: By the newspeakers and the personalities the big names talk to, 637 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: like the costing breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local 638 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: experts across residential, commercial, and rural news talks. 639 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: Had been seven past seven, so fifty points it was. 640 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank tells us the cash right remains restrictive, 641 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: so another fifteen next month isn't a guarantee, but the 642 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: momentum appears to be there now. The politicians left all 643 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: over and of course suggesting better days are ahead. ASP 644 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: Chief Executive Victoria short with us Victoria Morning. 645 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, Good morning, Mike. 646 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: As an exercise and fiscal management over the last couple 647 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: of years, as we come out the other side of this, 648 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: how would you judge this this move? 649 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 13: Look, I think it's great news for households and it's 650 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 13: great news for businesses. It means that inflation is getting 651 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 13: down to a net target range and even though it's 652 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 13: going to take time to flow through. I think the 653 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 13: big question everyone's asking now is where too from here? 654 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 13: So I think that's the thing that we're really turning 655 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 13: our attention to. 656 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: Do you have any answers on that? Because the commentary 657 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: leading into yesterday was anywhere between twenty five and seventy five, 658 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: and I've not seen that before, and there seems to 659 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: be some ankst around what comes next as well. Does 660 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: anyone actually know what's going on? 661 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 13: Well, I mean, obviously the our central Bank will make 662 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 13: their own independent decisions. But what we think is that 663 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 13: four seventy five the cash rate is still what we 664 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 13: describe as restrictive, and we think that the neutral rate 665 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 13: is around three point two five. So you can take 666 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 13: from that that there's a bit to go and we 667 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 13: always have to be careful though that. You know, world 668 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 13: events can change, but we do think that there is 669 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 13: further cuts ahead. We think it could be another fifty 670 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 13: basis points in November, but we think that will continue 671 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 13: next year. You know, we're just going to make sure 672 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 13: that inflation keeps coming down to their target range. 673 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your sense on that? I was reading an 674 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 2: interesting thing Australia. Are the savings rates in Australia are 675 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: way higher there than they have been here through this 676 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: whole COVID period? In other words, are we the sort 677 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: of people who, when given a chance, will run with 678 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: it and start spending with alacrity or not? 679 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 13: Yes, we do like to spend the carries and we 680 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 13: certainly borrow more than we save, so you know, we 681 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 13: would always say that you go think about your financial 682 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 13: wellbeing and if you're not sure, come and talk to 683 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 13: us and we can help. 684 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: What I also read yesterday was zero point I think 685 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: it was zero point four percent or might be zero 686 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: point six percent of mortgages were under some sort of 687 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 2: stress in general, which means the vast majority art are 688 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: we actually okay, and that will be going into the 689 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: reserve banks thinking in other words, for all the dire talk, 690 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: it's not as dire as it could be. Therefore they 691 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: need to be careful. 692 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 13: Yeah, so look, I think that's certainly what we're seeing. 693 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 13: We're actually saying that households and businesses have actually navigated 694 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 13: this difficult period pretty well well. And when I have 695 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 13: a look at our data of customers who are getting 696 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 13: extra support, those who are feeling stressed because of the 697 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 13: interest rates are about a third of our customers that 698 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 13: we're supporting. The other customers it's for actual sort of 699 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 13: life events. It's health reasons, losing a job, it's divorced, 700 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 13: it's things like that. So it's true that the majority 701 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 13: of the people that we're supporting as a result of 702 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 13: life events rather than interest rates. 703 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: Good insight appreciated very much. Victoria Short, who's the ASP 704 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: chief executive. Ten minutes past seven, tasket right to Milton. 705 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: It's just starting to arrive in Florida. And it is 706 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 2: political in the sense of the Vice President's. 707 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 18: Weighing into any company that or individual that might use 708 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 18: this crisis to exploit people who are desperate for help 709 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 18: through illegal fraud or price gouging, whether it be at 710 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 18: the gas pump, the airport, or the hotel counter. Know 711 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 18: that we are monitoring these big behaviors and the situation 712 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 18: on the ground very closely, and anyone taking advantage of 713 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 18: consumers will be held accountable. 714 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: All right. Diavalas is a reporter in the area. He's 715 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: with us dive morning. 716 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 5: To you, Good morning, How are you very well? 717 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 2: Indeed see you're in Fort Myz. Are you in the 718 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: middle of it YETO or not? 719 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 4: No, we are not. But I can tell you that 720 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 4: the outer bands are starting to hit us here and 721 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 4: we have had probably about a half dozen confirmed tornado 722 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 4: reports here in southwest Florida this morning. It's been a 723 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 4: chaotic morning just trying to get ready to go to work. 724 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 4: There is now a slight break, and I'm actually driving 725 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 4: into the television station now on my way to work 726 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 4: for what's going to be. 727 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 19: A very long day. 728 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: Indeed, you're going to work for obvious reasons, and most 729 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: people leaving the site. 730 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 4: They are And I drive into Myers now, I'm driving 731 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 4: across one of our many bridges into the city, and 732 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 4: I am not seeing any cars out on the roadway. 733 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 4: And for good reason. I've been monitoring social media, and 734 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: there has already been a lot of damage just from 735 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 4: the tornadoes and the very heavy rains that we have 736 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 4: coming in this morning, and the worst is yet to come. 737 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: Is this accepted broadly as being accurate? In other words, 738 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 2: that I've built this up for several days as being 739 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 2: bigger than anything we've seen in a century. Your life 740 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 2: is at risk. This is going to be like something 741 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: you've never seen before. Is that true? 742 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, according to our weather forecasters, our meteorologists, 743 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 4: and from everything that I'm seeing, absolutely yes. With the 744 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 4: rapid intensification that occurred was unlike anything we've seen. Now, 745 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 4: whether or not it slows down before it slams in 746 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 4: to the Gulf coast, that remains to be seen. But 747 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 4: that is certainly what people in all of all the 748 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 4: golf coasts are hoping for, because we don't know exactly 749 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 4: where it's going to hit yet, but we have had 750 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 4: so I lived through Ian. I was here through Hurricane 751 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 4: Ian and covered it. Fort Myers Beach was devastated, sent 752 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 4: about island. These are all tourists areas, uh and those 753 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 4: areas still as we speak, we're recovering. We just had 754 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 4: Hurricane Helene just over a week ago. There was extensive 755 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 4: flooding from that. This area can't take much more. And 756 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 4: I've talked to a lot of people who have said, 757 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 4: we're just not sure how much longer we can. 758 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: Stay here a little up to two in the afternoon 759 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 2: where you are wins it hit Wins winds, you know 760 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 2: the doc ol. 761 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 4: We are looking for later tonight, I believe they're saying 762 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 4: around at eight o'clock is when it's going to get 763 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 4: pretty bad for us. But conditions are going to continue 764 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 4: to deteriorate throughout the afternoon and well into the evening. 765 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 4: But after midnight here our time, we are expecting some 766 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 4: of the worst that Milton has to offer. 767 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 5: And what means to. 768 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: What's the big fear way you dive is that the 769 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 2: rhine is that the wind is at the suge. 770 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 4: It is the storm surge here, and that we're looking 771 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 4: at ten to fifteen feet of storm surge that's being 772 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 4: predicted for some of our coastal areas. Hurricane Ian was 773 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 4: twelve feet and it consumed again a big part of 774 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 4: our coastal region. Ten to fifteen is going to do 775 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 4: the same thing and perhaps even worse. And we've already 776 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 4: seen evacuations here and I can tell you most people 777 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 4: heeded those warnings that saw them. 778 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 2: Divey, well, we'll stay in touch. You appreciate it very much. 779 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 2: Dive A Loss, who's Tampa based reporter in Florida. Obviously 780 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 2: fourteen past seven. 781 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 1: The High Asking Breakfast full show podcast on iHeartRadio, How 782 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: It Buy News, talks at be the blog. 783 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 2: Who's handing out a million dollars to Northland from tres 784 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 2: Power for you in about fifteen minutes time. Seventeen past seven. 785 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 2: Got some issues around this new family boost scheme. This 786 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 2: is where you get money for childcare. But if you've 787 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 2: got a register with your ece receipts. So far, three 788 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 2: weeks after the registration's open, about forty percent have so 789 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: early Childhood counsel by Simon labor is with us on 790 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 2: this Simon morning to you, morning mate. I know the 791 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: Labour Party are trying to make a thing of this, 792 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: but I mean, yeah, it's tens of thousands of people 793 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: are registered so far, it's only three weeks. I'm not 794 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 2: overly exercise to you. 795 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 11: I think it's a really impressive start. That's to compare 796 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 11: that to how long it would take us to deliver 797 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 11: the same kind of changes through ECE funding, which would 798 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 11: be three or four years. I think it's a really 799 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 11: good beginner exactly. 800 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 2: I also argue there's something to be said about self responsibility. 801 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 2: If you want the money, the money is there, and 802 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 2: if you've got to spend a couple of minutes on 803 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 2: a computer filing a few forms, that's not the end 804 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: of the world, because we do it with a lot 805 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: of stuff in life, don't we. 806 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 11: That's right. It's annoying having that admin burden. But if 807 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 11: you actually have a look on the website, they have 808 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 11: made it as easy as they possibly can. And if 809 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 11: you need help now with this cost of living crisis, 810 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 11: here you go. You can go and get it if 811 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 11: you really feel motivated. But if you can't be bothered. 812 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 11: That's over to you. 813 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 2: Exactly have you seen or dealt with people who have 814 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 2: done it. It's working if you can make it work, 815 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 2: it's not actually a big deal if you don't want 816 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: to make it a big deal. 817 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 11: Definitely, there's no issues with the system they've designed so far, 818 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 11: but everyone's just getting their heads around it. In the 819 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 11: EC sector, it takes us about a year to come, 820 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 11: you know, to get our heads around new systems and things. 821 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 11: And parents are going to be no different. It will 822 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 11: take them a while to get the hang of it. 823 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 11: Once they've done it, it's just rinse and repeat. 824 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 2: Good on you. 825 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 11: So I'd encourage people to discover it to go all. 826 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 2: Right, okay, especially for free money, Simon thell nothing's free obviously, 827 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. Simon Labor, who's the 828 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 2: Early Childhood Council CEO. Speaking of which morning, Mike what 829 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 2: a Labor and the useless MP ingrid O'Leary up to 830 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 2: attacking gumboot Friday and it's iconic leader Mike King. So 831 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 2: I can see where you're coming from in the text 832 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 2: calling an iconic O. Leary maintains that it isn't a 833 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 2: personal attack, but we can read between the lines. So 834 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 2: Leary's got enough on a plate helping out heuents and 835 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 2: flood damage Dunedin.

My daughter applied for the EEE money 868 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 2: was very simple. Money was in their account in two days. Yeah, 869 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 2: there are a bunch of bum wipers the labor party, 870 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 2: and that's their problem. And listen and let you know 871 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: if you want of those people go I don't know 872 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 2: how to do that. That's the party for you. Seven 873 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 2: twenty three Right Universities a little bit of a mind 874 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 2: field at the moment. Grant Robinson's gone to run a 875 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 2: target of course. Auckland's introduced to Mari related compulsory course, 876 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: which has received surprise and a lot of pushback. Aut 877 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 2: we've told you about this. They've been giving out three 878 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 2: points in a race based travel wrought, whereas if you're 879 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 2: Maori you get a better chance of travel funding than 880 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 2: if you're not Mari. So when the latest university rankings 881 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 2: were released as they were yesterday afternoon, the facto Targer 882 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 2: is now at its lowest ranking ever will come as 883 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: a good chance to offer a decent serve to old grant. 884 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 2: Can't run an economy, can't run a yuni Auckland. It 885 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: was another who fell out of the top one hundred 886 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 2: and fifty for the first time, so once again a 887 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: chance to have a crack. There are other rankings, and 888 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 2: depending on which ones you look at depends on how 889 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 2: they're judged. Overall, you can argue we are not particularly 890 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 2: high up in global terms. Auckland as our top facility 891 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 2: outside the top one hundred and fifty doesn't sound very encouraging, 892 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 2: does it. You know why, because it isn't A Targo 893 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 2: is so far down the list now they don't even 894 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 2: rank them specifically, it's just a band, and they've gone 895 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 2: from the three hundred and one to three hundred and 896 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 2: fifty band down to the three hundred fifty one to 897 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 2: four hundred band, so they might be three hundred and 898 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 2: ninety ninth in the world. Surely some reputational work to 899 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 2: be done there. Otago I note defended themselves by saying, 900 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 2: one they were disappointed, but two no, New Zealand University 901 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 2: had improved, sort of in a well we're all a 902 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 2: bit useless then, aren't we kind of way. Having had 903 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 2: a little bit of experience with universities these past few years, 904 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 2: two of our five kids have or are attending, and 905 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 2: a third is about to go. The unmistakable reality that 906 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 2: smacks you in the face is the wokeness of it all, 907 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 2: the stench of indoctrination about the place these days. They're 908 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 2: there to fill your head basically with the stuff they 909 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 2: believe to be correct. You think that you're their way, 910 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 2: or basically you're wrong. A lot of it's race based, 911 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 2: and it's very very unappealing. Mind you, I'm older. Maybe 912 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 2: young kids lap this stuff up, or or think they 913 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,919 Speaker 2: lap it up until they're mature a bit. But even 914 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,280 Speaker 2: the teaching brigade at some of these places have voiced 915 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: their concerns around freedom of speech, and when you add 916 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 2: the concerns to the rankings, the overall picture painted is 917 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 2: not flattering. And because they're so woke, my fear is 918 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 2: a ranking like this will not be seen as a 919 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 2: reason to change or improve, but yet another reason to 920 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 2: dismiss those who can't possibly know what they're talking about, 921 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 2: asking Gumboot Friday, so let's address this particular elephant in 922 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 2: the room, shall we? I defend ingrid Leary and the 923 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 2: Labor Party based on this. The Auditor General came out 924 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,280 Speaker 2: yesterday and a six page letter from the Director General 925 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 2: to the Director General Health Rather Dianasa part He said, look, 926 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: there's a whole bunch of concerns here. They didn't follow 927 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: the rules. There was no clear justification for invoking the 928 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: opt out clause. Several aspects of the process are unusual 929 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 2: and inconsistent with good practice. All of that's indisputably true. 930 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 2: Why because the rules are very simple. You hold an 931 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 2: open tender. If you want to throw money at mental health, 932 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,320 Speaker 2: you say, hey, everybody in mental health, let's have a word. 933 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 2: Put an attender, tell us what you're about and will 934 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 2: dibby up the money. That's how the rules apply. So 935 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 2: the rules were broken, there's no question about that. And 936 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: that then goes to governance. Here's where I defend the government. 937 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 2: Do you know why they can do what they can 938 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,879 Speaker 2: do because they're the government. If they don't like the rules, 939 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,240 Speaker 2: they don't have to follow them. And they decided, rightly 940 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 2: or wrongly, that Mike King's the man for the money. 941 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 2: They gave him the money, and they're allowed to do that. 942 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: Now the question will be if Mike King blows the 943 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 2: money and the service provided isn't any good. That's on 944 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 2: the government, not on the ministry. And yet there was 945 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 2: the next twist in the story, and I'll come back 946 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 2: to that in just a couple of moments. Also talk 947 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 2: to transpower. But meantime, the news is next. 948 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show You Can Trust, the mic asking, Breakfast 949 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: with al Vida, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way, News, togsad be. 950 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 2: Just to wrap up the business of gunboot Friday. So 951 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 2: I stand with the government. They're allowed to make any 952 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 2: decision they want, but in making that decision, they've got 953 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: to then justify the twenty four million dollars in other words, 954 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,439 Speaker 2: you've got to at some point be able to show 955 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 2: the twenty four million dollars was well spent. It wouldn't 956 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 2: have been better spent elsewhere. The service that you gave 957 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: the twenty four million dollars to gave value for money. 958 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 2: Where it went wrong for the government yesterday was Matt Doucy, 959 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 2: who is still yet to front. Who's the minister responsible. 960 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,439 Speaker 2: They told him throughout the process, this is the order 961 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,879 Speaker 2: to General that we're talking about. John Ryan Deucey said 962 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 2: or told Ryan that he had, throughout the process sought 963 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 2: and received assurances that the implementation option chosen by the 964 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 2: Ministry complied with the rules. Now, Ryan obviously doesn't agree 965 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 2: with that, and the reason he doesn't agree is because 966 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 2: it's not true, because what happened was and Ryan, I mean, 967 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 2: there's nothing complicated about this. What Ryan points out in 968 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: his letter is the government of the day, instead of 969 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 2: having a tender process, made up their mind that Mike 970 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 2: King was going to get the money, and so it 971 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 2: was all retrospective after that, so there wasn't any need 972 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 2: for a tender process. They just said he's getting the 973 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 2: money beginning middle an end. So the ministry, who were 974 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,760 Speaker 2: supposed to run the process couldn't run a process because 975 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 2: there was no process to run. So therefore Deucey, saying 976 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 2: that he had throughout the process, sought and received assurances 977 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 2: that the implementation option chosen by the Ministry. The Ministry 978 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 2: didn't choose the implementation option, Docy chose it. So to 979 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 2: say they'd chosen it was bollocks, unless, of course, the 980 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 2: Ministry went to the minister and went, hey, Mike King, 981 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 2: Mike King all day long, don't look at anyone else 982 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,439 Speaker 2: than Mike King, Matt, and Matt went, oh, really cool, 983 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: we'll do that. But that's not how it worked. So 984 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 2: he's thrown the Ministry under the bus, and he should 985 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 2: be called out for that. So it's a win and 986 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 2: a loss of the government. But as regards the twenty 987 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 2: four million dollars, they better hope that it's money well spent. 988 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,280 Speaker 2: Twenty two to eight. She speak your money well speed 989 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: By the way, Malcolm glad Will of Tipping Point claim 990 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,879 Speaker 2: after eight but speaking money well spent. Bitter movement out 991 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 2: of the power pylon, per Lava, Transpower and Mixim have 992 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 2: donated a million bucks to a fund that will support 993 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 2: northern projects in the economy. It's a good will gest 994 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: to Transpower CEO John Clark with us on this morning. 995 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 2: I've already heard this morning people including local MPs saying 996 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 2: this is not enough, it's a joke, all of that 997 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 2: sort of thing. Were you expecting that level of pushback 998 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 2: or are you disappointed? 999 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 19: We've believe we've done our best to offer Northland fump 1000 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,879 Speaker 19: things back that will help improve the energy resilience and 1001 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 19: also help plan for the future and make sure we've 1002 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 19: got between ourselves and our two distribution partners up there, 1003 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 19: we've got for purpose network. 1004 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 2: And when you say things, when you say increase resilience, 1005 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 2: what what's the money actually for? And can't they do 1006 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 2: with it whatever they want. 1007 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 19: Certainly we've left with the community, Northland community, in Northland INK. 1008 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 19: We've indicated along with Northland INKS that you know, if 1009 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 19: it's used the community resilience projects, things that help communities 1010 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 19: cope with storms and the other challenges that Northland have, 1011 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,879 Speaker 19: or things that help economic development in Oakland, other sort 1012 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 19: of things that we've been seen. But we are leaving 1013 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 19: it your right to Northland and the Northland community. 1014 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 2: How do you come up with a million? Apart from 1015 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 2: the fact that's a round number. 1016 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 19: And make some both talk between ourselves and in our 1017 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,240 Speaker 19: case we idea by what things we could put aside 1018 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 19: so that we could bring up some money to do 1019 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 19: this community initiative. 1020 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 2: Has insurance played a part at all or not? 1021 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 19: Insurance has nothing to do with us. This is not 1022 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 19: about compensations. As we've reiterated, compensation is not something that 1023 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 19: happens with utility services. You know, the scale of any 1024 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 19: economic loss is often far more significant than the cost 1025 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 19: of utility service. For instance, you know, the costs will 1026 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 19: we recover from Northland for the transmission GROD, which does 1027 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 19: need a lot of maintenance up there, works out on 1028 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 19: average to about one dollar per for each of the 1029 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,280 Speaker 19: electricity consumers in North London. 1030 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 2: So you do accept that the damage done was somewhere 1031 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 2: between thirty and eighty and so one million is just 1032 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 2: a gesture. 1033 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 19: The economic loss of not having a service like electricity 1034 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 19: or water or gas is always way higher than what 1035 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 19: has charged there, So we do acknowledge their economic loss 1036 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 19: if you work that out, is in what we've arranged. 1037 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 19: Different people have come to calculate. 1038 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 2: That and is compensation still on the table or as 1039 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 2: a millionaire thanks for coming by by and go away. 1040 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 19: Well, we've reiterated that domestic eidential consumers can talk to 1041 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 19: their retailer if they have suffer loss. Obviously, larger industries 1042 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 19: approaching us with their insurance claims, we'll deal with those. 1043 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 19: That's you know, those seven years are open. But this 1044 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 19: is something back to the Northland community to allow it 1045 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 19: to move aws and for us to help them with 1046 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 19: not only their electricity supply but some of the other 1047 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 19: challenges they have. 1048 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 2: Well, I can't understand, John. I mean, ultimately you are 1049 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 2: responsible because you employer MIXIM. I get that part, But 1050 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 2: essentially they're idiots that didn't do their job. Why aren't 1051 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 2: they paying nine hundred and ninety nine thy nine hundred 1052 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 2: and ninety nine and U toss and the scent. 1053 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 19: Well, we are responsible and we while we could argue 1054 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 19: who how much should be shared, we're comfortable that it's 1055 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 19: a fifty fifty arrangement that seems appropriate. And we're doing 1056 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 19: a lot of work and you've seen the various supports 1057 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 19: and recommendations which we're all on to make sure we 1058 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 19: support our providers like a MIXIM so that they get 1059 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,959 Speaker 19: things right and something like this never happens again. 1060 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 2: Well the type not John go Well, John Clark, who's 1061 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 2: the transparer CEO seventeen away from mate past quite great 1062 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 2: peace on the universities for the first time ever, I 1063 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: got great concerns about the future prosperity of the country. 1064 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 2: Education is vital for us to keep up with the world, 1065 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 2: and these figures show decline of academic standards in New Zealand. 1066 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 2: Doesn't scare the pants off the public, then we're doomed. Yeah, 1067 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: there's not enough coverage of that sort of thing. There 1068 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 2: are rankings, and there are rankings, and the universities will 1069 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 2: defend them, but we're not particularly higher. When you can't 1070 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 2: even breach one hundred and fifty in the world, you've 1071 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 2: got to say, possibly there's something wrong morning, Mike. I 1072 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: just like how you hit the nail on the head 1073 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 2: of labor and the universities and they're woke, race based policies. 1074 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 2: So much for a multicultural New Zealand. Mike Gumboots or 1075 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 2: anyone for that matter. What happened to auditing on a 1076 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 2: three month basis? Anyone receiving government money and a lot 1077 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 2: of it needs oversight. Oh, they'll have oversight. The point 1078 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 2: is not the oversight. The point is that they were 1079 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 2: so bullish on Mike King that he's the person to 1080 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 2: do the job. They just better be right on it, 1081 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 2: because you don't want to when you get audited to 1082 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 2: find out the money could have gone better somebody else. 1083 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 2: Mike unfortunately remind us about the labor MP and who 1084 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 2: gave the Mongrel Mob was that the two million dollars 1085 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 2: without any tender process. My counter argument to you, and 1086 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 2: a lot of you have texted about the Mongrel Mob 1087 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 2: money probably will forever. My counter argument to that is 1088 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 2: you can't justify bad behavior with examples of more bad behavior. 1089 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,760 Speaker 2: That doesn't make bad behavior suddenly better. Sixteen two good. 1090 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1091 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: by News Talks at B where. 1092 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 2: It's thirteen away from eight. The headline is Mike Hosking 1093 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,839 Speaker 2: Reign Supreme? But could an AI DJ replace the radio King? 1094 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 2: So that was brought to my attention yesterday. It's an 1095 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,319 Speaker 2: article in the Listener I no longer subscribe to the 1096 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:38,760 Speaker 2: Listener by Peter Griffin. It's not a particularly good article. 1097 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 2: It's I'm not meaning to denigrate Peter's writing, but any 1098 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 2: article involving me as well worth reading in my humble opinion. Anyway, 1099 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 2: he's been to San Francisco as Peter, and he went 1100 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 2: to a conference there where will I Am was there, 1101 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 2: and he was showing off as new AI powered radio 1102 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 2: station which is called Radio Fyi, and it features a 1103 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 2: series of AI generated radios. And the first clue that 1104 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 2: Pete is not really up to speed with how radio 1105 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,359 Speaker 2: works is you don't call people radio DJs. The other 1106 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 2: mistake in the article he makes it talks about talkback. 1107 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 2: I don't do talkback. Talkback is a separate thing to 1108 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 2: what we do on this program. Be that as it may, 1109 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 2: mind you, it's the listener. They operate from about nineteen 1110 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 2: sixty two through nineteen sixty four, so you can forgive them. 1111 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,359 Speaker 2: And anyway, his point being is that will I AM's 1112 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 2: radio station, although even he concedes by the end of 1113 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 2: the article it's not really that good. Yes, the point 1114 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,959 Speaker 2: being that by the time I retire, they are going 1115 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 2: to hear at enz me have an AI version of 1116 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 2: me that is going to be so good. By the 1117 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 2: time Hosking is considering hanging up his microphone, there's a 1118 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 2: good chance ZB bosses will have Hosking GPT Transcripts of 1119 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 2: Hosking's thousands of past radio shows could be used to 1120 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 2: train it, emulating his take on current affairs, mimicking his 1121 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 2: MIC's me its segments. Now they're already trying it. Let 1122 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 2: me just a little secret here. They have already tried it. 1123 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 2: Two people I know of have tried it. One tried 1124 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 2: it and spin it. As far as I understand, quite 1125 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 2: a lot of time and energy making me sing. And 1126 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 2: it was a disaster. It was a little short of 1127 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 2: an absolute disaster. 1128 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 14: Mean, anybody who knows you knows that you don't sing. 1129 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 2: Precisely, you whistle. 1130 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 14: If for some reason you whistle jingle bells all year long. 1131 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 2: I don't know, well Christmas tunes, not just jingle bells. 1132 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,240 Speaker 14: Just just talking to somebody about this yesterday. They said, 1133 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 14: I always hear my whistling as he comes down the stairs. 1134 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,240 Speaker 14: And I said, jingle bells. They said, yeah, what's that about. 1135 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 2: Who knows what it's about? Is I'm mental? Is what 1136 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,439 Speaker 2: it's about. But then the boss tried it because he's 1137 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 2: constantly threatening to get rid of me, and he goes, 1138 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 2: AI is going to replace you. I said, you drum 1139 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 2: up an Ai thing for me and play it to me, 1140 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 2: and I guarantee you it'll be crap. And he went no, no, no, no, 1141 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 2: no no, because that's how Jason talks. He goes no, no, no, no, 1142 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 2: no Nana. Anyway, he drummed it up and we played 1143 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,359 Speaker 2: it the next day and I just looked at him 1144 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 2: and he knew what I knew, and I knew what 1145 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 2: he knew, And I said, it is, isn't it? And 1146 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,360 Speaker 2: he goes, yes, it is. It was crap. And so 1147 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to be dead before chat gpt AI or 1148 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 2: whatever comes up with anything that even comes close to 1149 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: the real deal. 1150 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 14: And you've already gone way past Griffinth's timeline. 1151 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 5: Anyway. 1152 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 14: You you consider hanging up near the microphone pretty much 1153 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 14: at the interview show. 1154 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 2: Pretty much pretty much. But there's just the gap. If 1155 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 2: I quit today, they're not ready. All I'm saying now 1156 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 2: after this, they're never going to be ready. You got 1157 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 2: to have the real me or there is nothing nie 1158 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:46,879 Speaker 2: away from it. 1159 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:52,240 Speaker 1: The mic hosting breakfast with Alvida, retirement communities. 1160 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 2: Stitch away from it. Interesting developments in the wine industry, 1161 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 2: Taiwanga restate this and hawks By it's on the market, 1162 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,000 Speaker 2: because the owner wants to concentrate on exporting to the US. 1163 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,239 Speaker 2: So if you fancy a restaurant, vineyard and seller door, 1164 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 2: this could be for you. The owner Rod McDonald's with us, Rod, Morning, Morning, 1165 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 2: How are you well? Thank you? How much of this 1166 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 2: is about the domestic hospo market being a bit hard 1167 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 2: work versus you wanting to be in the US. 1168 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 20: Look, you know it's always going to be a combination 1169 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 20: of both. We've got a really exciting opportunity in the US, 1170 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 20: but it's capital hungry. So weighing up the opportunities between 1171 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,479 Speaker 20: operating that continuing to operate the vineyard, particularly in cellar door, 1172 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 20: compared to what lies the head potentially in the US, 1173 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 20: is what. 1174 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 2: Lies ahead potentially in the US super exciting. Yeah, it is. 1175 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 20: Look where we've recently got some listenings in Costco. We're 1176 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 20: going to be in about one hundred and sixteen stores 1177 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 20: come the next quarter of trading, and we've got national distribution. 1178 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 20: But it's really early days for us. So it just 1179 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 20: takes a lot of money to continue to build and 1180 00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 20: invest in that platform. 1181 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 2: Yes, it does having it. So you are you one 1182 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 2: of those people who started out with you know, you 1183 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 2: could look at your grapes out your window and you 1184 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 2: could crush them yourself and think that's fantastic. You've moved 1185 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 2: into be a sort of a mega entrepreneur. Are you 1186 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 2: one of those sort of people? 1187 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 20: Yeah, I wouldn't say mega entrepreneur, but certainly labeling at 1188 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 20: the kitchen table and getting out with a weed waker 1189 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 20: and dealing with you know, dealing with a vignyard on 1190 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 20: a daily basis. That's where it all started for sure, exactly. 1191 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,479 Speaker 2: So you want to lease back, though, don't you, because 1192 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 2: you can't get into the US and expand if you 1193 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 2: don't have any grapes, and if you sell your grapes, 1194 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 2: you're sort of out of wine making, aren't you. 1195 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:33,439 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1196 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,360 Speaker 20: So there's a few different parts of the business. We 1197 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 20: leased a couple of vineyards and we work with growers 1198 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 20: and they've all been incredibly supportive and a big part 1199 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 20: of the journey to get to this point. So we'll 1200 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 20: continue to do that. You know, a vignyard at Tijwonga 1201 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 20: we planted with Merlow's son, Blanc Chadney and sah. It's 1202 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 20: you know, most of what we're selling overseas is sauvinyon 1203 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 20: blanc and and not at the sort of super premium 1204 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 20: price point that we grow out at Tijuwanna. So we're 1205 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 20: fully certified organic out there. That's a big part of 1206 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 20: the story for us as well. But to get some 1207 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 20: scale and build momentum in the US, you know, sustainability 1208 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,919 Speaker 20: is part of the story. And hawks face servinon Blanc 1209 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 20: believe it or not. 1210 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 15: So I think it's. 1211 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 20: It's a really exciting thing for hawks Bay and us. 1212 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 20: But you've got to cut your cloth. You've got to 1213 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 20: you've got to allocate your resources where you think they're 1214 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 20: going to get your best return. 1215 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 2: Exactly.

It explores 1241 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 2: older new tipping points. Twenty five years on and Malcolm 1242 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 2: Gladwell is with us from New York. Good morning, good morning, 1243 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,600 Speaker 2: the twenty five years. Are you celebrating the twenty five 1244 01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 2: years since the very start of this wonderment that is 1245 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 2: your life? 1246 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 5: I am, I am, yes, it is which one is 1247 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 5: that twenty five years is? What is that silver? I've 1248 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 5: forgotten what that annivers is. 1249 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 2: I think it is silver. It's not golden, but so 1250 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 2: you'll take silver twenty five. Here's the funny. Here's the 1251 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 2: funny thing about it. When I read the book when 1252 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 2: it came out originally, I for whatever reason, had no 1253 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 2: concept of how old you might have been comparatively speaking, 1254 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 2: you were young. How was it dealing with that level 1255 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 2: of what I'm assuming was life changing success? 1256 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know it wasn't It had no I 1257 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 5: expected to have a much greater impact on my life 1258 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 5: than it did. Nothing, you know, nothing changes like my 1259 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 5: friends were still the same. I lived in the same apartment. 1260 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 10: You know. 1261 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 5: It was the surprising, a surprisingly kind of I mean, 1262 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 5: I suppose it it it it it changed. People would 1263 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 5: return my phone calls and I wanted to interview them 1264 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:48,439 Speaker 5: for stories. So that was big. But and it freed 1265 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 5: me up because I began to I lasked my anxiety 1266 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 5: about whether my writing would would would please an audience, 1267 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 5: you know. So that made that That made that allowed 1268 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 5: me to be a bit more adventurous. But it didn't 1269 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 5: otherwise have much of it didn't create the change that 1270 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:07,480 Speaker 5: one would have thought. 1271 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 2: Although that will be down in some way to you, 1272 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 2: because presumably you could have bought a bigger apartment and 1273 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 2: changed your friends and your lots. 1274 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 5: I eventually did, But no, the friends part. It's funny. 1275 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 5: You know, you look at you know, writers, successful writer 1276 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 5: are not true celebrities. So all of us look at 1277 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,640 Speaker 5: true celebrities and we assume that on the occasion of 1278 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 5: their celebrity, their life turned upside down. But I think 1279 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 5: as a general rule, that's not what happens. I think 1280 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 5: you you know, I was talking to some friend about 1281 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 5: of mine about he knew a guy who was one 1282 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 5: of the has become one of those tech billionaires, and 1283 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 5: I said, well, who is friends? And my friend said, oh, 1284 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 5: just guys you knew in high school. 1285 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 15: Wow. 1286 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 5: Like, oh, he's like the rest of you know. I 1287 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 5: don't think that's that's normal, totally normal, Like, well, well, 1288 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 5: who else would his friends be? Right? You know, they'll 1289 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 5: cease to be his friends because he is a billion 1290 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 5: and they only have you know, a very modest amount. 1291 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 5: There's he still has the same things in common with him. 1292 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 5: It's just I guess he's picking up the check for dinner. 1293 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 2: I guess, so but in tick it would be different. 1294 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm suspecting because the reason these guys got successful in 1295 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 2: tech is because they followed their passion. The fact that 1296 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 2: money came along is of no consequence to them, because 1297 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,480 Speaker 2: what they were doing was being geeky and techy, and 1298 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 2: that's what that truly drive the which I suppose applies 1299 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 2: to you as well. Do you think if it hadn't 1300 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 2: been tipping point it would have been something else? You 1301 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 2: would have got there anyway? 1302 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 5: Probably not, I don't know. I mean, it's an impossible 1303 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,640 Speaker 5: question to answer. I'm powerfully convinced of the randomness of success, 1304 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 5: so I don't think there's anything inevitable about anyone's success. 1305 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:57,480 Speaker 5: I think, if you're you know, so, my best guess 1306 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 5: is that I got spectacularly lucky. I mean, I read 1307 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 5: lots and lots and lots of books which I think 1308 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:08,560 Speaker 5: are first class, and that sell vanishingly smaller amounts of copies. 1309 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 5: So I don't think that writing a brilliant book is 1310 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 5: is a guarantee of success. I think, you know, to 1311 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 5: be successful, you must have some healthy doll up of luck, 1312 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 5: and I had a healthy doll up of luck for 1313 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 5: reasons I don't particularly understand and so, and after that 1314 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 5: it becomes in writing books, success becomes a self fulfilling 1315 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 5: prophecy after a while, right, I mean, you know your 1316 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 5: publisher promotes your book because you've sold a lot of 1317 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 5: books and books, so you saw your lot's set a 1318 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 5: lot of books. So it's like you no longer used 1319 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 5: of you know, am I deserving of all this? You 1320 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 5: know I've lost track of that. 1321 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 2: Do you second guess yourself though, because once you got success, 1322 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 2: do you think, well, it's the sophomore album discussion, doesn't it? Like, 1323 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 2: you know, everyone gets a hit and then hang on 1324 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 2: sophomore album. So when you get to the sophomore are 1325 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,520 Speaker 2: you thinking I'm genuinely telling that this is bound to 1326 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 2: go well? Or you just don't have a clue. 1327 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 5: I did have anxiety, but my second book, yes, along 1328 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,680 Speaker 5: those lines. But no, My perspective has been that what 1329 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 5: the last thing you should do is change. What you 1330 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 5: should do is what you've always done, and you should 1331 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 5: continue to write the things that make you happy, and 1332 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 5: that if you're lucky, you know some number of people 1333 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 5: will be interested in the same things you're interested in. 1334 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,439 Speaker 5: You have to have confidence, in other words, that your 1335 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 5: interests are shared by others. And I think that one 1336 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 5: of the things I've always tried to do, even more 1337 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,760 Speaker 5: so as I've gotten older, is that I do a lot. 1338 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,720 Speaker 5: I do all my own reporting, and I get out 1339 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 5: of my comfort zone as much as I can. I 1340 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 5: try to talk to as many people as I can 1341 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 5: and spend time with people, and I think guards against 1342 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 5: the kind of of narrowness that ends a That's what 1343 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 5: ends at creative person's career is when they start to 1344 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 5: be to live inside their own little bubble and never 1345 01:05:58,760 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 5: leave it. 1346 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 2: You must always be inquisitive. I've always argued that being 1347 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 2: inquisitive is is a God given gift. You are born 1348 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 2: with him. 1349 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I also think you can develop habits and disciplines 1350 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 5: that encourage your curiosity that you you know that there 1351 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 5: are routines you can have. So for example, I've been 1352 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 5: doing this podcast, Version's History for ten years and I 1353 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 5: do ten some of between ten and twenty episodes a year. Now, 1354 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 5: that's a routine that forces me to be curious. I 1355 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 5: have to come up with ideas for fifteen or twenty episodes, 1356 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 5: and that's a discipline that there's no way to do 1357 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 5: that just by interrogating my own thoughts, right, Yeah, exactly, 1358 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 5: I have to go out in the world if you've 1359 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 5: got that kind of a obligation. So that's a structural 1360 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 5: part of my life that forces me to be curious. 1361 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 2: Listen, hold on, Malcolm, I want to talk more about 1362 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 2: these podcasts. In just a capital of a couple of moments, 1363 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 2: Malcolm glaed will more shortly fullteen past the. 1364 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, pw it 1365 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 1: by News Talk Zippy News. 1366 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 2: Talks, sixteen past Malcolm glad Well out of New York, 1367 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 2: Revenge at the Tipping Point is the is the book? 1368 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 2: By the way these podcasts, mal confessed night me because 1369 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 2: what do you reckon podcasts are doing or have done, 1370 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 2: or will do to books? 1371 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 5: I think enhance in some sense, enhance them because there 1372 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 5: are another mechanism by which people can build audiences and 1373 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,800 Speaker 5: develop material. So if you think about it, historically, what 1374 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 5: magazines did was they were away for authors to develop 1375 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 5: their abilities, to test ideas and to develop audiences. That's 1376 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 5: what they did. They were like a farm system for books. 1377 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 5: And then when you had when you had an idea 1378 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 5: that made sense to you and an audience that knew 1379 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 5: who you were, and you developed as a writer, you 1380 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 5: went out and your wrote books. Well, the magaz seeing 1381 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 5: world has kind of dried up and something had to 1382 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 5: take its place, and I think it's a podcast that 1383 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 5: taken its place. So I find a lot of ideas 1384 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 5: that are found in my Ltus book Revenge at Tipping Point. 1385 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 5: Some of those ideas were developed as a podcasts first, 1386 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,400 Speaker 5: or inspired by work I did in the podcast, and 1387 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 5: I was able to test out concept theory and idea 1388 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,679 Speaker 5: a story and see whether it made sense, see whether 1389 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 5: people were interested in it, see whether it it had legs, 1390 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 5: And then I was able to take what I learned 1391 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,599 Speaker 5: and use that in a book. So I think that 1392 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 5: there's a there's a very there's a wonderful kind of 1393 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 5: synergy between those two forms. 1394 01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 2: The stories from Tipping Point to Revenge of the Tipping Point, 1395 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,920 Speaker 2: in a why you can argue, are the same stories. Therefore, 1396 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 2: nothing's happened in the ensuing twenty five years. Weird stuff, 1397 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 2: tile stories made up. It still all happens. We're exactly 1398 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,360 Speaker 2: the same as we were twenty five years ago. Is 1399 01:08:59,400 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 2: that fair or not? 1400 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 5: Fear well, we live as we did twenty five years 1401 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 5: ago in a world that is rife with epidemic change. 1402 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 5: I think that we're quicker to recognize it today, and 1403 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 5: I think the nature of the epidemics around us has 1404 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 5: They've grown more frequent and more complex, But fundamentally we 1405 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 5: are still you know, it's not like the Internet invented 1406 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:37,719 Speaker 5: contagious social phenomenon, right. Some people act as if it did, 1407 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,759 Speaker 5: and they forget that, Oh no, no, that was happening 1408 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,680 Speaker 5: before the Internet. It's just the Internet maybe was an 1409 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 5: accelerant to those kinds of things, or it made them appear, 1410 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 5: move faster and be bigger than they might have otherwise, 1411 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:58,799 Speaker 5: but it didn't fundamentally change the way human beings interact 1412 01:09:58,840 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 5: with each other. 1413 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 10: You know. 1414 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:04,759 Speaker 5: Contagion is the idea that we would be influenced by others, 1415 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 5: catch behaviors and ideas from others in the way that 1416 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 5: we catch a cold from them is something that's fundamental 1417 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 5: to who we are. What is new is how profoundly 1418 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 5: kind of ahistorical some of our perspectives on our world are. 1419 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,320 Speaker 5: And one of the advantages of being an old guy 1420 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 5: like I am, and you're kind of I don't think 1421 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 5: you're my age, but I think you're kind of an 1422 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 5: old guy. With those of us who are all guys, 1423 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,640 Speaker 5: you know, we have some perspective we can tell our children. 1424 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,599 Speaker 5: You know, it was ever Thus that's funny. 1425 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 2: Guess. So look, how old are you? I got you 1426 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,759 Speaker 2: at fifty five, I'm sixty one, sixty one, I'm fifty nine. 1427 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 2: Let me just ask you this because I got to 1428 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 2: wind this up. But let me ask what I listened 1429 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 2: to your thing with Paul Simon, who I've been endlessly 1430 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 2: fascinated with my entire life. 1431 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 5: Me too. 1432 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 2: And you started off with the question about critics. He 1433 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 2: doesn't read the reviews, he's not interested. You started off 1434 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 2: with your question saying you do you get a lot 1435 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 2: of the forgot? Do the critics bother you in any way, 1436 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 2: shape or form now, given what you've managed to achieve? 1437 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 5: No, nominally do they not bother me. I don't think 1438 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 5: they matter. I mean, I actually weirdly think they did 1439 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 5: matter when I was starting out. I think you're review 1440 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:21,120 Speaker 5: in the New York Times in nineteen ninety nine or 1441 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,439 Speaker 5: two thousand matter. It was a central But now the 1442 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 5: kind of the media world has been chopped into a 1443 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,600 Speaker 5: thousand pieces. So any one bit of criticism makes no 1444 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,760 Speaker 5: more than a ripple. So it's not something I spend 1445 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 5: a life time on. 1446 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 2: Fun game. I think about this all the time. Paul 1447 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 2: Simon or Bob Dylan greatest writers of our age. 1448 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,360 Speaker 5: Not even close. Paul Simon, Yeah, Al Simon, I agree, 1449 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 5: it's not. I mean the longevity his career. It's funny. 1450 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 5: I was just talking to a Kiwi about this. Why 1451 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,919 Speaker 5: I believe Nick Willis is the greatest miler of his generation. 1452 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 5: Why because because Nick Willis ran sub formulute miles for 1453 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 5: twenty consecutive years, and at some point you have to 1454 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 5: understand that longevity is a greater achievement than peak performance. 1455 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 5: He was never the fastest in the world, but he 1456 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,680 Speaker 5: very close to being the fastest world But he was. 1457 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,680 Speaker 5: He managed to sustain world class level performers to his 1458 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 5: late teens, twenties, thirties, and early forties. You must, at 1459 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 5: a certain point understand what an accomplishment that is. I 1460 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 5: would as Paul Simon. 1461 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 2: I would also argue with Simon, not just with Willis, 1462 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 2: not just middle distance, but he went long to Simon 1463 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 2: went Graceland, Africa, different genres over a long period of 1464 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 2: time as well. 1465 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Nick, The idea somewhere Nick Willis should be 1466 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,639 Speaker 5: very pleased that we are comparing him to Paul Simon. 1467 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 5: I reasonly Paul Simon of middle distance running. Tell you what, 1468 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 5: given we're both aging so brilliantly. On the fiftieth anniversary 1469 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 5: of Tipping Point, we'll get back together and talk some more. 1470 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 5: How is that from our nursing homes? 1471 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 2: Exactly? 1472 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 15: All right? 1473 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 2: Might go well, appreciate it.

I discovered purely 1481 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,680 Speaker 2: by accident. Yesterday Billy Joel's concert back in April at 1482 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 2: the Madison Square Garden. So he's been doing Madison Square Garden. 1483 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,879 Speaker 2: And he said, originally and it goes back to the nineties, 1484 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,639 Speaker 2: I will play Madison Square Garden. I think it's about 1485 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 2: once a month for as long as it sells out. 1486 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 2: And he got to the one hundred in April, and 1487 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 2: I thought, why are they ever going to film this thing? 1488 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 2: Because that'll be well worth watching, as it turns out, 1489 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 2: And I'd forgotten about it. As it turns out, I 1490 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 2: discovered yesterday they did and what And I'm I'm we're 1491 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,680 Speaker 2: all Billy Joel fans to a degree. But would I 1492 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,160 Speaker 2: go to a Billy Joel concert? Would I watch him? 1493 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 2: But this thing is unbelievable. First of all, Madison Square 1494 01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:55,640 Speaker 2: Gardens one of the great venues in the world. The 1495 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,400 Speaker 2: way they've staged it, rigged it, lighted it was is 1496 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 2: absolutely sensational. They've got some amazing guests who just come 1497 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 2: out and know where first one out Seinfeld bang, just 1498 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 2: like that, their next Sting and Sting. And here's the 1499 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 2: risk of bringing guests on. And they've done this throughout 1500 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 2: the times he's been at Madison Square Garden. Whoever happens 1501 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,680 Speaker 2: to be in New York performing at the time, they 1502 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 2: invite them along their singer song whatever. The problem with 1503 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,839 Speaker 2: inviting Sting along is it's dangerously close to being outperformed 1504 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 2: by Sting because Sting is brilliant. Springsteen turns up so 1505 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 2: you can see where this thing's going. And Billy Joel 1506 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 2: is in fantastic voice for a guy well into his seventies. 1507 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 2: A lot of those guys have lost their voice. He hasn't. 1508 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 2: And the test is on a stage in front of 1509 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 2: an intimate audience at Madison Square Garden. And this show, 1510 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 2: if you've never seen Billy Joel, it's worth watching. If 1511 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 2: you've seen Billy Joel eight hundred times, it's still worth watching. 1512 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,000 Speaker 2: It's on kneon. And if you only ever watch one 1513 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 2: Billy Joel thing, watch this. We were all apps, including 1514 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,520 Speaker 2: our seventeen year old. We were all absolutely mesmerized. 1515 01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 1: Your trusted source for news and fews, the Mic Hosking, 1516 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, 1517 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news togs. 1518 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 2: He'd be my Billy Joel's voice has got better with age. 1519 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,599 Speaker 2: I don't know, because I haven't followed him closely enough, 1520 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 2: but what I do know, in his seventies and well 1521 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,599 Speaker 2: into his seventies. In fact, the other thing I learned 1522 01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 2: yesterday is that the opening of the document documentary is 1523 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,599 Speaker 2: a concert. The opening of the concert is a very 1524 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:35,640 Speaker 2: clever animated, highly stylized version of him going to the 1525 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 2: concert via the train and I couldn't quite work out 1526 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,400 Speaker 2: why that is. And the answer is he takes to 1527 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,280 Speaker 2: the train every time he goes to Mediicine Square Garden. 1528 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 2: His house, by the way, is for sale at the moment. 1529 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 2: And when we last had him on the program, I 1530 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 2: jokingly asked how his renovations were going, because the house 1531 01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 2: he's gotten Long Island was being renovated. In fact, he's 1532 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,760 Speaker 2: got a couple of houses and on Long Island, and 1533 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,160 Speaker 2: his house was being renovated, but it had been renovated 1534 01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,640 Speaker 2: for about three years. And so when we had him 1535 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,760 Speaker 2: on the program, I said, a ureno's done. He goes, No, 1536 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:03,880 Speaker 2: They're never over, and they just keep going and going. Anyway, 1537 01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 2: They're finally finished, and he put his house on the 1538 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 2: market literally the other day. I discovered this by accident 1539 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 2: as well. It is absolutely gob smackingly beautiful. 1540 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,479 Speaker 14: Has he put the seventy seven inch in the shoe 1541 01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 14: room or. 1542 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 2: I don't know where he's put a seventy seven inch? 1543 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 2: But I tell you what it is. It's on a peninsula, 1544 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,559 Speaker 2: it's got a lot of land, it's got a beautiful 1545 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 2: pool looking over the ocean. It's in an old style 1546 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 2: of architecture, brick architecture, and it's all yours for fifty 1547 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,679 Speaker 2: million US. But even when you look at it, even 1548 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,600 Speaker 2: at fifty million US, when you look at it, you go, 1549 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 2: you know what, it's probably worth it. It's that good 1550 01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 2: a house. Where was I? Anyway? So this highly stylized 1551 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,799 Speaker 2: start to the program. He's taking the train. He takes 1552 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,200 Speaker 2: the train each time to Mediicine Square Garden to do 1553 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 2: the concert because he used to take a helicopter. But 1554 01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 2: then he got into trouble with a helicopter because he 1555 01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 2: got he struck some turbulence and he got so freaked 1556 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 2: out he said, I'm never taking a helicopter ever again. 1557 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to take a train. And so he does, 1558 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 2: and they're in the Billy Joel Stories twenty two. 1559 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 1: To nine International correspondence with insitn Eye Insurance Peace of 1560 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:11,439 Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business. 1561 01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Now I look little not though, and I look forward 1562 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,880 Speaker 2: to you every time we talk, Rod. But this morning 1563 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 2: a good morning, first of all, But this morning, how 1564 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,640 Speaker 2: exciting is this vote that yesterday. 1565 01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 15: You had very exciting? 1566 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 2: You know, you had a surprise leader, and now the 1567 01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 2: surprise leader's gone. 1568 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 15: Yes indeed, and a bit of chicaney has been applied 1569 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:38,720 Speaker 15: I think by people who supported Amie Olafunto. Added Gookie Badenoch, 1570 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,720 Speaker 15: who is almost certain to become the next leader of 1571 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:47,719 Speaker 15: the Conservative Party, a middle class girl from a middle 1572 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 15: class Nigerian background in Southwest London, who has worked in science, 1573 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 15: primarily as a computer engineer, and is regarded as being 1574 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 15: a little bit prickly, but also very competent and is 1575 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 15: unquestionably this is the important point, I suppose, on the 1576 01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 15: right of the party. Certainly socially, she is a social 1577 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:18,640 Speaker 15: conservative as you would imagine people from a Nigerian or 1578 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 15: gun Ayan or West African background might be. So this 1579 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 15: is bad news firstly for Keir Starmer because of all 1580 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,679 Speaker 15: the candidates who were lined up possibly to replace Richie 1581 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,920 Speaker 15: Sunaka's leader, she's the one who will cause the most 1582 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 15: damage of the dispatch Box partners with her intellect, of course, 1583 01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:43,799 Speaker 15: because she's combative and she knows her brief Partly also 1584 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 15: because once again the Conservative Party has shown that it 1585 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 15: is capable of electing people from people of color to 1586 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 15: positions of very very high authority in the party. That's 1587 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 15: the second consecutive leader a third if you mistrust who 1588 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 15: to all intents and purposes, did look like a white 1589 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,080 Speaker 15: middle class lady from the Home Counties who was actually 1590 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 15: from the planet Sark, which is in a spiral arm 1591 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 15: of the Andromeda galaxy. So she is actually the third, 1592 01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 15: the second black leader of the party, and I suspect 1593 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 15: will do very well. Now I say that she's almost 1594 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:30,200 Speaker 15: certain to become I think that when this vote goes 1595 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 15: out to the activists and the party, she will crush 1596 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 15: Robert Jenerck very very easily. Indeed, But one always has 1597 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 15: to bear in mind that the Conservative Party is a 1598 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 15: bizarre convocation of human beings and that the surprise could occur. 1599 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,600 Speaker 15: But to all intents and purposes, she will be the 1600 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:49,280 Speaker 15: next leader. 1601 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,519 Speaker 2: Okay, so just work me through what's happened the last 1602 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,720 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. So Generic leads pretty much until the 1603 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 2: vote before yesterday. He led the whole time, so he 1604 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:01,920 Speaker 2: was the alleged hot favorite cleverly to the leader lipped 1605 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,760 Speaker 2: into the lead yesterday. The skulduggery or whatever has gone on. 1606 01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:10,560 Speaker 2: What went on for suddenly Bedterock to be there or thereabouts, 1607 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,920 Speaker 2: but they now suddenly boomed this she as the leader. 1608 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 15: I'm a decent friend of someone who ran Badanock's campaign, 1609 01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:21,719 Speaker 15: and I remember talking to him five or six weeks 1610 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,519 Speaker 15: ago and saying, my guess is that it gets to 1611 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 15: the final two and that will be Badenoch, Badenoch versus Generic, 1612 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 15: and Badenock wins. And he said yes, unless she gets 1613 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 15: kicked out. Well, it's down to four people, three or 1614 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 15: four people, and that was the thing they had to 1615 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,800 Speaker 15: guard against. So I think what clearly happened, and this 1616 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 15: is whether she Canery was involved, was that people who 1617 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 15: would have voted for Badanock in the last round transferred 1618 01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 15: their votes to Cleverly, James Cleverly, who was the kind 1619 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:04,720 Speaker 15: of aimable, comfortable center candidate, also of course from an 1620 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 15: ethnic minority background, right, and that they then switched them 1621 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 15: back very very rapidly today. And so for a couple 1622 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 15: of days, you know, we've been saying James clever has 1623 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,240 Speaker 15: come from nowhere, he's the man to lead the party. No, 1624 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:25,280 Speaker 15: he really isn't. And it never occurred to me really 1625 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:26,040 Speaker 15: that he would win. 1626 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,600 Speaker 2: Okay, then, having said that, and just to explain to 1627 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,680 Speaker 2: people who haven't followed this closely, this has all been 1628 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,000 Speaker 2: in the realms of the MP's as you say, it 1629 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 2: goes to the party members if they pervade knock. Are 1630 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 2: the MP's and the party members in unison and universally happy. 1631 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 15: Not entirely, No, there will be a large rump of 1632 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 15: the Conservative Party which objects to the stridency of Kenny 1633 01:21:51,360 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 15: Badeno's rightish concerns, particularly on social issues, particularly on so 1634 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 15: for example, she very much upset the apple cart earlier 1635 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,559 Speaker 15: in her campaign where she said that she didn't agree 1636 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:13,320 Speaker 15: with some of the welfare payments to within and she 1637 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 15: is very much you know, traditional family, traditional gender ideologies, 1638 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 15: sexual ideology. She is very much of that trunch which 1639 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 15: exists within the West African community but also exists very 1640 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:34,599 Speaker 15: very strongly within a large proportion of the Conservative community 1641 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 15: in this country. 1642 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,320 Speaker 2: Being reported this morning in the Australian media that Starmer, 1643 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 2: who I am assuming was going given the Kings going 1644 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,639 Speaker 2: to Chogham and Samoa, was going with the King's canceled 1645 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 2: a trip to Australia because the miss that he's created 1646 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 2: for himself is so severely coountiful to be out of 1647 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:53,880 Speaker 2: the country. 1648 01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 15: Is that fear, Yeah, I think that is. For it 1649 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,160 Speaker 15: is remarked the ball that a party which has such 1650 01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,400 Speaker 15: a huge majority can now find itself only one point 1651 01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 15: ahead in the opinion polls, and with Keir Starmer, who's 1652 01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,880 Speaker 15: great plaim hitherto was that he never succumbed to press 1653 01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 15: pressure and sacks anybody and gets rid of his chief 1654 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 15: of staff is most important appointment. So he is in 1655 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,799 Speaker 15: real trouble. And as I mentioned, I think last week 1656 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 15: on the program to header you know, my own party 1657 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 15: leader gave him a ten percent chance of leading Labor 1658 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:37,880 Speaker 15: at the next election. I think that's maybe especially a 1659 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,120 Speaker 15: bit far, but I wouldn't put it much more than 1660 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:40,880 Speaker 15: thirty percent. 1661 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 2: Wow, all right, might go well, well, catch up next week. 1662 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Rod little that reference. At one point he 1663 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 2: refers to as the more uncommon survey that came out yesterday. 1664 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:53,320 Speaker 2: Labor on twenty nine, Conservatives twenty eight, Reform nineteen lib 1665 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 2: DIMSI Live in the Greens on seven eight forty five. 1666 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on High Heart 1667 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,479 Speaker 1: Radio powered by News Talks at be. 1668 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,040 Speaker 2: A bit of work has been done. One of the 1669 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 2: reasons that Stars in so much trouble at the moment, 1670 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,080 Speaker 2: as he promised to tax a whole lot of rich 1671 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 2: people more money, and he was going to shuffle it 1672 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:12,680 Speaker 2: all off in high nurses and doctors and all that 1673 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:14,639 Speaker 2: labour sort of stuff that they're into. But they've worked 1674 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 2: out that all the rich people are going to leave 1675 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 2: the country. So a number of people have been doing 1676 01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,719 Speaker 2: work on this. They've worked out that there are sixty 1677 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 2: individuals that have an income annually of at least fifty 1678 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 2: million pounds per year, and that the amount of money 1679 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 2: that they collectively would contribute is in excess of three 1680 01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,559 Speaker 2: billion dollars or three billion pounds as it were. 1681 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 10: Now. 1682 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 2: The problem with that is if they leave the country, 1683 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 2: which they're more than entitled and easily can do because 1684 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,320 Speaker 2: wealthy people are very mobile, of course, that would leave 1685 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 2: the country short of a lot of money. This from 1686 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,679 Speaker 2: the Institute of Fiscal Studies. They said the Treasury needed 1687 01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:49,759 Speaker 2: to be aware that a small number of the super 1688 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 2: rich group leaving the country would create a relatively big 1689 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,719 Speaker 2: hole in the finances. So the total income tax receipt 1690 01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,799 Speaker 2: for Britain's two hundred twenty five billion pounds, the sixty people, 1691 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,599 Speaker 2: just sixty of them who make more than fifty million 1692 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 2: pounds a year, make up just zero point zero zero 1693 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 2: zero two percent of taxpayers. Because there were thirty three 1694 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,719 Speaker 2: million taxpayers, but together they paid one point four percent 1695 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 2: of the total income tax receipts the same all over 1696 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 2: the world. The wealthy payer greater percentage, but nevertheless that's 1697 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 2: disproportionately high in that particular part of the world. Mike, 1698 01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 2: a few weeks ago you were comparing yourself to an 1699 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 2: Australian radio host. It wasn't It was a television host 1700 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,439 Speaker 2: who chucked in the towel, and you explained your strength 1701 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 2: as just turning up and I think you do more 1702 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 2: than that. But maybe you're the Nick Willis of radio. 1703 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:31,920 Speaker 2: It's very nice of me to say. This person was 1704 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 2: Tony Armstrong, who had worked on the ABC Breakfast Show 1705 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 2: on television for the full three and a half years, 1706 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:39,880 Speaker 2: and he'd decided that it was all a bit much 1707 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 2: for him. It was all a bit tiring and wearing 1708 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,280 Speaker 2: him down and he needed to be a different person 1709 01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 2: and so we quit. But longevity as the key, and 1710 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 2: I was talking to the boss about this just a 1711 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,799 Speaker 2: couple of months ago. It's a guy called John Laws 1712 01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 2: and Australian radio, who's a legend who you retired. I 1713 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,719 Speaker 2: think from memory, I'm making this up a little bit retired. 1714 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 2: I think in twenty eleven, after many, many, many years 1715 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,600 Speaker 2: on the radio and fantastically success well, certainly one of 1716 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 2: the biggest names ever in the history of Australian radio, 1717 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,639 Speaker 2: retired in twenty eleven, came back three or four years 1718 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,000 Speaker 2: later and has been on radio again for the last 1719 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,040 Speaker 2: seven or eight years. And then the other day, literally 1720 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,799 Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, he out of the blue 1721 01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 2: read a text out on air from a guy who 1722 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 2: just retired and said, no, I started listening to you 1723 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 2: when I was fifteen years old, and I'm now sixty 1724 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 2: five and I've just retired, and I'll be able to 1725 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 2: listen to you more. And he said, well, as it 1726 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 2: turns out, not for much longer. Because I'm retiring. I've 1727 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 2: decided I think it's probably time to call it a date. 1728 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 2: I want to be greedy, and I think the start 1729 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,639 Speaker 2: of November, as in like a couple of weeks time 1730 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 2: will be it. And he will be celebrating in November 1731 01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 2: seventy one years on Australian radio. And you can't argue 1732 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 2: with that, can you? Night Away from nine. 1733 01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,959 Speaker 1: The Mistle Breakfast with News. 1734 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:50,760 Speaker 10: Talk, says Mike. 1735 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 2: If I agree with you, we'd both be wrong. It's Dylan. 1736 01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 2: This goes back to Malcolm Gladwell and who's better Dylan 1737 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 2: and Simon. I'm glad he came and if you can 1738 01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 2: be bothered paying for it, Gladwell did this this in 1739 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 2: depth conversation podcast with Paul Simon, and it's well worth 1740 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:10,360 Speaker 2: listening to because Paul Slimon is a sensationally deep, fascinating 1741 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 2: and I suspect extraordinarily bright individual and the way he 1742 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 2: thinks about the world and you can hear it in 1743 01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:19,240 Speaker 2: his lyrics is amazing. But if you look at Dylan, 1744 01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,360 Speaker 2: and I'm a big fan of Dylan, but Dylan really 1745 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,599 Speaker 2: is confined to the sixties. I mean, yes, he's done 1746 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,600 Speaker 2: some work in the seven He's done some work, but 1747 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 2: he's not current, whereas Paul Simon is current and seven 1748 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 2: Psalms is a very good example of that. And Paul 1749 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 2: Simon has evolved over the years. And if you're looking 1750 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 2: at true greatness and you're comparing the two of them, 1751 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 2: you'd have to look at commercial success. I'd argue that 1752 01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 2: Paul Simon has been vastly more commercially successful over in 1753 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,840 Speaker 2: a sustained period of time that Dylan has. He's been 1754 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 2: different in different genres over a sustained period of time, 1755 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 2: more so than Dylan has. I mean, they're both geniuses, 1756 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 2: so it's an interesting debate they have. But speaking which 1757 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 2: five to nine. 1758 01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,800 Speaker 1: Trending now Quill Chemist ware House the home of Big 1759 01:27:58,840 --> 01:27:59,919 Speaker 1: brand ftal Mens. 1760 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 2: Got the biopic of Dylan.
