1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities of the big names. Talk to 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: Mike Costing breakfast with the Jaguar f base come from 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: a different class. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: News talk said, been can go ahead of the Navy 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: on his insurance? Whose shipping is clean up? Why are 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: some bank still stress testing at just under nine percent 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: of the primement of store and everything? From Nicole the 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: Key to underwriting house building? Nick Bryant gives us his 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: reader or were the months to go? On the US vote? 10 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: Catherine Field is in France. Rob Liddle is in the 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: UK for US tasking Welcome to Tuesday seven past six. 12 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: So I guess the first thing to say about marking 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: the one year anniversary of the Hamas attack is why 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 2: do we always mark one year, especially when it comes 15 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: to terror or wars? I mean, what's the difference one year, 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: one month, three years? Does it make it any better 17 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: or worse? More or less significant? So observations I've made 18 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: well won. I think I was right when the war 19 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 2: broke out, and given I said at the time, there 20 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: is no difference to the last or the one before, 21 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: or the one before or the one before. The hate 22 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: hasn't changed the view and the outlook hasn't changed. The 23 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: sides haven't changed. I do note our bandwidth his tested. 24 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: The original war Ukraine is not mentioned anywhere near the 25 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: way it used to be. The Middle East has taken precedence. 26 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: We seem incapable. All the editors who put together the 27 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: coverage seem to think we're incapable of more than one war. Apparently, 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: the media as always a bias towards the Palestinians as 29 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: they have always been, which is not to side, of course, 30 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: with Israel at all. It's just to point out the 31 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: go to stance the media has always taken to is 32 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: to walk through rubble or show some homeless or some 33 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: blood or some pleading doctors. Doesn't mean their plight isn't 34 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: real or urgent. It's just very one sided. Another observation, 35 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: we seem to have been lucky here. Some of the 36 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: angst and the anger that the Australians for example, have 37 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: scene hasn't arrived here. Yes, we've had the old protest, 38 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: but not really in large numbers, and you never really 39 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: got the sense it was growing in spirit. It seems 40 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: to have been the same old Pickacau's rabble. The UN 41 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: has failed, as it always does gueterists saying it must 42 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: stop now really has never been, nor is it now 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: any effective means of diplomacy. Anthony Blincoln deserves a medal. 44 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: You can't claim he hasn't worked as butt off trying 45 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: to sort it all out. So given its presidential year 46 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: in America, and given it's not just Israel v. Hamas 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: but Israel v Hesbala, and it's in Lebanon and it's 48 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: in Iran, now you can probably point a figure towards 49 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 2: the White House and say Biden's failed. The problem today 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: is the problem it's always been. Of course, was Nitnyah 51 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: who justified to respond, Yes, was he ever going to 52 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: get rid of Hamas or his Balabo? No? Was he 53 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: ever going to stop Iran wanting Israel wiped off the map? No? 54 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: Will this come to an end eventually? Yes? How I 55 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: don't know. But this is indistinguishable from every other time 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: this lot go at each other. So marking twelve months 57 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: means nothing. 58 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Who news of the world in ninety seconds. 59 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: Y's October seventh and many parts of the world, so 60 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: they remember. 61 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: You change for every as well. 62 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: We want to live in peace with everybody, but we 63 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 4: cannot live when there is an organization like Hamas and Physibla. 64 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 5: Total collapse and what we thought it was very safe. 65 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: Israel's president, the world has to realize and understand that 66 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: in order to change the course of history and bring 67 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: peace into a better future to the region. 68 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 6: It must support Israel and its battle against its enemies. 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: Britain's Prime minister fifteen British citizens for brutally slain that day. 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: Another has since died in captivity. Our thoughts today are 71 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: with the Jewish people around the world, the Jewish community 72 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: here in the United Kingdom, Britten's former Prime minister. 73 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 7: We should not forget the base cause of all these events, 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 7: Iran's refusal to accept Israel's right to exist and its 75 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 7: desire to destabilize the region through arming and funding its 76 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 7: terrorist proxies Hamas, has Bila and the Hooties. 77 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: Questions, of course, as to what has been achieved in 78 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: whether Israel is any more or secure. 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 6: Even if we shall kill all Hamas activists and all 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 6: the political leaders, and we shall destroy all the military installations. 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 6: On the day after two Politinian children that lost their families, 82 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 6: we'll try to to get a knife and to kid 83 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 6: his ali. 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: Then Stateside Advance knows who he blames. 85 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 8: What we've seen from the current administration is a lot 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 8: of wavering, a lot of waffling, and I think because 87 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 8: of that, it's prolonged the war. It's gotten a lot 88 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 8: of people, civilians on the Palestinian and the Israeli side, 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 8: unnecessarily killed, and it's made it harder to achieve any 90 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 8: real peace in the Middle East. 91 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 2: Finally, thirty one year old treasure hunt in France finally 92 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: come to a need sly. In fact, in nineteen ninety 93 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: three we had a book of riddles. It was published 94 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: on the trail of the Golden Owl. It had eleven 95 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: puzzles and a hidden twelfth one. The idea was to 96 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: find the location of an owl token that you could 97 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: then exchange for a golden owl three kgs of gold, 98 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: seven kgs of silver and diamonds on its face. Now, 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: the more than two hundred thousand hours have been told 100 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: that someone found a golden ol countermark last night and 101 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: all of that, all that's left now is for the 102 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: person to handle them and receive their golden own. That 103 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 2: golden owl is worth about two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, 104 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: and that is news of the world. In ninety seconds. 105 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: They've done a deal. The more leaves in Indiana. This 106 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: is interesting because the relationship between India and the Maldives 107 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: is a fascinating one. You probably should look up sometime 108 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 2: when you're a little bit bored. But anyway, they've agreed 109 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: to extend hundreds of millions of dollars. It's all about 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 2: influence in that particular part of the world, and the 111 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: Maldives is troubled financially despite the fact that to Meca 112 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: for tourists of course, So they've cut a deal. The 113 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: Maldes president, he's had the red carpet rolled out. He's 114 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: gone to see Moody. They've had a chat. Hundreds of 115 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: millions of dollars are exchanging hands as we speak in 116 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: the Maldives of state financially for now. Twelve Pars six. 117 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 118 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: by News Talks EV. 119 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: Tell you what Ireland's got us here of troubles this morning, 120 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: We've got the shin Fane in dreadful trouble over a 121 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: person who turned out to be a sexual offender. I'll 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: work you through that later, but we also got an 123 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: unfolding honey trap plot that involves an Irish politician as 124 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: yet unnamed and a Russian spy. So more shortly fifteen 125 00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: Pars six JM by Wealth Andrew Keller Her, Good morning, Mike, 126 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: Very glad you've raised this because I don't know that 127 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 2: it's got enough coverage in this particular part of the world. 128 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: This stimulus that's going on in China, I don't know. 129 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: Is it good. I mean in the sense it's been 130 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: spectacular in numbers, but I mean is this the way 131 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: we want to run the world economy? 132 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's interesting, and as you're right, it 133 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: probably hasn't got enough coverage because this is, after all, 134 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: our largest trading partners. So essentially, look what we're doing 135 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: here is I'm checking in with markets following some pretty 136 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: major developments over the last week. 137 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: And so yeah, China. 138 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: You've had this stunning, stunning rally in Chinese share markets, 139 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: the timing of which was all sort of quite notable 140 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: because you've got this turbo charged move and then the 141 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: share markets shut down, but it keeps back into trading 142 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: this week with potential for another boost. So you had 143 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: this monetary policy stimulus package now that was announced by 144 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: People's Bank of China. At the end of September, we 145 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: write a great, big booster sentiment and directly impacted on 146 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: share markets and your right mic. 147 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: The effect was huge. 148 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: Shanghai Compson index has gained twenty percent since the middle 149 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: of September. Now there are other indexes that follow the 150 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: Chinese markets, they have gained even more than that. And 151 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: this has followed what was a pretty extended period of 152 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: underperformance to the Chinese share market, you know, versus other 153 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: share markets around the world. But then we had these 154 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: celebrations connected with China National Day which shut trading down 155 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: and for China National Day that shut the market down 156 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: for over a week. As say, it all kicks back 157 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: in today, but in what seems to be very fortuitous timing, 158 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: at ten am in Chinese time zone, China's top economic 159 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: planner is going to hold a press conference. This is 160 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: the National Development and Reform Commission, and it doesn't look 161 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: like any ordinary press conference because they've got i think 162 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: five of the most senior members of the commission fronting, 163 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: including the chairman. Now, the press conference is addressing policies 164 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: aimed at boosting growth. So speculation is now swirling that 165 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: this conference will announce further stimulus measures. It's a big 166 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: deal because you're potentially going to get fiscal support to 167 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: match the monetary policy moved announced earlier. 168 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: So I mean, just looking at that. 169 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: Share market movement, Mike, You're right, the big questions whether 170 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: it's sustainable, whether or not these stimulus measures announced today 171 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: will actually stimulate economic activity because they're han't a good 172 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: crack at it. And obviously this has potential implication for US. 173 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: There our biggest trading partner, and I think one analyst 174 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: comments sort of pointed this out and said, the success 175 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: of the stimulus measures will have direct, direct implications for 176 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: nations that have close trading links with China, and that 177 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: is US. 178 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating. So then we come to 179 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 2: the American job market. How did that play through? 180 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 3: Well, so this is used non fun payrolls and it 181 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: was absolutely blowout, much stronger than expected. 182 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: So that was Friday and out at our time. 183 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: It's reverberating right around the world because all the world 184 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: has got back trading now and had a chance to 185 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 3: react to it. So it's given markets a decent short 186 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,239 Speaker 3: term shunt. It's moving markets around. So let's look at currencies. 187 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: First of all, so we're seeing an impact on the 188 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: New Zealand dollar. Why well, it's boosting the US dollar, 189 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: so stronger UIs dollar week in New Zealand dollar, and 190 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: big dollar always trumps little dollar. So it's been quite 191 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: a volatile period for the key. We'll go back to 192 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: late July. It fell to below fifty nine cents, and then. 193 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: The little flightless bird clawed its way back up. 194 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: To almost sixty four cents. That's quite a big move, 195 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: fifty nine cents to sixty four pretty decent. But now 196 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 3: you've got expectations of quicker falls in our interest rates 197 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: and a slower path projected for US interest rate cuts, 198 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: so we're seeing a pretty swift reversal. The New Zealand 199 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: dollar has fallen quite slightly this morning when I checked, 200 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: sixty one to twenty one. Good for exporters, But if 201 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: you're worried about what's happening right now in the in 202 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: the Middle East, a sustained spike in the oil price 203 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: a week in New Zealand dollar exacerbates the impact of 204 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: this price hepe because the lower New Zealand dollar means 205 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 3: imported oil related products costs more because they are priced 206 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: in US dollars. 207 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: So that's the problem for your wallet. 208 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 3: But the rbn Z, if you worry about the inflation impact, 209 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: they'll probably look through that sort of short term price 210 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: like then it's impacted on interest rates as well. That 211 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: power supports has shunted up wholesale rates. Our wholesale rates 212 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: have been falling since about April. Our longer term rates 213 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: do have a reasonably strong correlation to US interest rates, 214 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: and US interest rates have done, for the time being, 215 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: a very swift recalibration of expectations of a fifty basis 216 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 3: point cut of the next FED meeting that's in early November. 217 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: They've pulled that back to twenty five basis points. So 218 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: that's pushed up interestrate for US treasuries ten years. They're 219 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: above four percent now, we haven't seen that since late July. 220 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: Really, that's fascinating. Time is not right. I give us 221 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: the numbers. 222 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: So the US share makes under a bit of pressure, 223 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: not not a lot, but the Dow Jones down half 224 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: percent four to two one three two, that's two hundred 225 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 3: and twenty point four, the S and P five hundred, 226 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: it's down point three eight as we look at it now, 227 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 3: five seven two nine and then Nasdaq is down point 228 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: four of a percent seventy two points eighteen thousand and 229 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: sixty five overnight. The fort SEE one hundred gained zero 230 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: point two eight of a percent eight three oh three. 231 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: The Nickey is up one point eight percent thirty nine thousand, 232 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: three hundred and thirty three Shangha comps. 233 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: It hasn't traded yet, so. 234 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 5: We'll skip right past that. 235 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 3: The ASX two hundred YESA gained two point six eight 236 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: percent eight two oh five. The NZCX fifty lost twenty 237 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: three points to twelve thousand, five hundred and ninety six 238 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: Kimi dollar as I said, point six one two one 239 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: against the US, point nine oh five eight against the ossie, 240 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: point five five seven six euro, point four to six 241 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: seven eight against the pound, ninety points six eight. Japanese 242 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: en gold is still hanging in there and holding up 243 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: quite strong. Two thousand, six hundred and forty five US 244 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: dollars and Brent crude back over the eighty dollar mark 245 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: eighty dollars and seventy two cents, So I'll keep an 246 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: eye on that. 247 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: Okye, we go, Well, we'll see you tomorrow. Andrew callaher 248 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: jomowealth dot co dot m Z Steve Fox Coln. They're 249 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: out of Taiwan. They make a lot of iPhones anyway, 250 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: The point is they're making money like there is no tomorrow, 251 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: which all AI generated. Their revenue for the quarter was 252 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 2: fifty seven billion fifty seven point three total revenue for 253 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 2: September and loan. By the way, because everyone's getting excited 254 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 2: about Christmas, demand for iPhones goes up blah blah blah, 255 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: so the revenue for September a loan was almost up 256 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: eleven percent. Peak season is coming, so the second half 257 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: of the year looks fairly good for them, although I 258 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: am noting interestingly enough a lot of commentary starting to 259 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: bubble around the place that AI is not what they 260 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: made it out to be. So it's the same old story. 261 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: Get a trend, get excited, then realize whoops might have 262 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: overregged that one. Six twenty one Here at Newstalk ZEDBYO. 263 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 264 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: by News Talk. 265 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: ZB Yeah, do blay trouble in Ireland.

She's going to have to 267 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: answer questions in the National Island Assembly. So anyway, they've 268 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: got this guy called mcmonical. He wanders off and he's 269 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: been a member of shin Faine and part of the 270 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: parliamentary system. He wanders off to get a job at 271 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: the British Heart Foundation. This was last year after references 272 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: and he got employed because the references given by former 273 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 2: colleagues in shin Faine did not raise concerns about his 274 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: suitability for employment. Is a suitability issue, Well, he's a 275 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: sex offender and they might have wanted to have raised that. 276 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: So that's problem number one, and that's before we get 277 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: to the Russians. More shortly, Sex twenty five. 278 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: Trending now with chemist Wells keeping Kiwi's healthy. 279 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 9: All year out. 280 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: That ruffle feathers in the bird community. You see what 281 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: I did. They're the American Ornithological Society. They're looking to 282 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: drop bird names that honor people, and they're going to 283 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 2: have a vote at the Society's annual meeting in Colorado. 284 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: Birds like the Backman sparrow, the Scott's oreole, the towns 285 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: Ends warbler, they're going to potentially get changed to new 286 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: names that would identify a feature of the bird instead 287 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 2: of being named after Confederate offices or people who had slaves. 288 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: This bloke is from the society. 289 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 10: We can either cheap living with those awful legacy histories, 290 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 10: or we can do something to change them, and at 291 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 10: the same time be giving these birds names that are 292 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 10: actually useful to people. Like if you say to somebody, oh, 293 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 10: I want to see a Wilson's warbler, nobody knows what 294 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 10: you're talking about. But if you say to somebody who 295 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 10: does know birds, oh, I want to see a black 296 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 10: capped warbler, you at least know you're looking for a 297 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 10: warbler with the black cap. And so it's a really 298 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 10: keis of genocide. And this guy has a bird named 299 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 10: after him that every time an indigenous birder says the 300 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 10: guy's the bird's name and the bird has nothing to 301 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 10: do with the guy, they've got to put that man's name. 302 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 5: In his nut. 303 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 2: That guy's finn at parties. He makes a lot of 304 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: sense to me. Biggest birding controversies controversy since they debated 305 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: whether you had to actually see a bird. You remember 306 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: this one, whether you just had to see a bird 307 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: or hear it in order to add it to your 308 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: birding list. I run on my birding list, it's just audio. 309 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: I don't need to see the bird myself. I'm happy 310 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: to hear it and know that I've heard it, and 311 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: I don't need to prove anything to do anything. 312 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 11: Quite like when you think what's making that noise and 313 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 11: then you go outside and you see the bird that 314 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 11: sitting on the top of the. 315 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: I've got pheasants at my place and I go often, 316 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: I'll stand on the lawn and I'll hear, and I'll 317 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: go phasn't and Katie doesn't go.

It 322 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: was or not, but fortunately it was because I know 323 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: my birds.

One of them Ambrose, he's 334 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: a professor of natural science at the University of Massachusetts 335 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: Medical School and Rothkin is a professor of genetics at Harvard. 336 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: They reveal an entirely new dimension to gene regulation. So 337 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: they are honored by the Nobel Committee. 338 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 11: Do we forget out how to make it bluetooth come 339 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 11: out of ourself with heav the vaccine? 340 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: No? 341 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: I think that's that's Thursdays right, nounce, Okay, it doesn't 342 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: feel shortly meantime, questions issermaly around the bank's designed to 343 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: get money into the market. Despite the fact interest rates 344 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: are falling, some banks are still apparently stress testing at 345 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: a shade under nine percent now. A loan market mortgage 346 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: advisor Bruce Patten's with us on this. Bruce, very good 347 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: morning to you. 348 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 12: Good morning Mike. 349 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: How wide spreads that at just under nine percent. 350 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 12: They're starting to drop just some of them are waiting 351 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 12: at the moment. I mean, you need to understand the 352 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 12: reason the banks introduced these test rates in the first 353 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 12: place was to try to prove to the Reserve Bank 354 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 12: that they didn't need to introduce DTIs, and now that 355 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 12: they have, the banks really could review some. 356 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: Of this exactly. I see, I'm getting a mixed message. 357 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: I thought the banks were into getting money into the market, 358 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: hence you had a bit of competition and the interest 359 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: rates were falling. And if that's the case, how then 360 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: do you want to Is it just safety or they're 361 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: being overly cautious. 362 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 12: Well, I think they've been overly cautious at the moment, 363 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 12: but with the cost of living being so high, they're 364 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 12: just really conscious that it's it's extremely expensive for people 365 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 12: all around. It isn't just about mortgages anymore. It's everything 366 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 12: is costing more, insurances, you know, you've seen it all. 367 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 12: So until those inflation rates get back to normal, I 368 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 12: think they're just going to be cautious. They're trying to 369 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 12: act below the dtiyes. So at the moment you can't 370 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 12: actually even get to the level that the Reserve Bank 371 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 12: is set with like a six times income. You can 372 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 12: get that high with the test rights. So I think 373 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 12: it'll balance out as we see these interest rates start 374 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 12: to drop, and I think tomorrow's announcement will be very 375 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 12: key in seeing some of those test rates come from. 376 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, if they go fifty points, 377 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: I mean, you can't possibly still stress test just underlying, 378 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 2: can you. 379 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 13: That's right. 380 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 12: So I think you'll see a big move once the 381 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 12: Reserve Bank signals it's intentions. And you know, if they 382 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 12: don't go fifty, I think they'll be they'll be a 383 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 12: bit of anarchy out there about it. 384 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: Well, I reckon, and what's the demand for money? Like, 385 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: did the first move make a material difference in your 386 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: view or not? 387 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 13: Absolutely? 388 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 12: And we've seen it and you've talked about it this morning. Already, 389 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 12: open homes are busier. There's definitely a better feeling out there. 390 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 12: So there's moll people out and about. So it's all 391 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 12: going to flow through, and it's just really a timing 392 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 12: thing about how long it'll be before they bring these down. 393 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 12: They're not that far away. You can borrow about five 394 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 12: and a half times your income on average at the moment. 395 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 12: It's going to stop at six, So the test rates 396 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 12: become irrelevant once the interest rates drop. 397 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, exactly, with all the rules that we've got 398 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 2: you d to you guys, I mean, are they working? 399 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 2: I mean, I've forgotten what they were trying to achieve 400 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: at the end of the day. So many bloody rules 401 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: to go through now, I mean, is it all sort 402 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: of working? 403 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 12: I think so. I think the fact is the DTO 404 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 12: is a very blunt instrument, and they're probably not the 405 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 12: way we should have gone. But it was a reaction 406 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 12: to the fact that the Reserve bank rates get to 407 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 12: two percent if people could borrow ten times their income. 408 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 12: And it's their reaction to that to say, GF rates 409 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 12: get down again to say four four and a half. 410 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 12: If we were lucky enough to sit them there. I 411 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 12: don't think we will. But if we were and you 412 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 12: could still borrow a times your income, then that's a problem. 413 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 12: So it's a reaction to something that's in the past. 414 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 12: They could have fixed it long ago. They had the 415 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 12: ability to do teeth duties when ranked for that loan, 416 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 12: they chose not to. 417 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: It's almost as though Adrian cocked it up. Bruce preciated 418 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: Bruce Patten, who's the loan market mortgage advisor with us 419 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 2: this morning. Are you remember what I said at the time, 420 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: nineteen minutes away from seven Adrian or on the program. 421 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: I said, why are you giving the banks all the 422 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: money at no percent and then telling not telling them 423 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 2: because you know where the money's going. You know where 424 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: the money's going. It's going into the housing market. And 425 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: he said, and I distinctly remember, well, it's not really 426 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: my problem, is it. Well, yes it was, Adrian, you 427 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: just didn't realize it at the time. By the way, 428 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: pol Out As regards the seventh of October, fifty nine 429 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: percent this is an Australia fifty nine percent of voters 430 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: opposed marches. Forty five percent say it's made Australia less safe. 431 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 2: This is the war, which is up from thirty six percent. 432 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: Interesting the fifty nine percent on the marches, because they 433 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: had some marches yesterday, they went to court the week before. 434 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: There was some real anks. They passed without real upset, 435 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 2: but there's been some real anks around some of the 436 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: protests Andustralia. Fifty one percent of voter to say Australia 437 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: should not voice in principal support for either Israel or Gaza. 438 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: Strongest support for Israel among those remaining voters twenty three 439 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: percent in favor of voicing and principal support for Israel 440 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: only twelve percent. For Gaza, thirty two percent say there 441 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: was an increase in anti Semitism and fourteen percent say 442 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: there was more Islamophobia. Speaking of Poults as a very 443 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: good one about the amount of anti Semitic behavior and 444 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: the states that will come to later in the program 445 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: eighteen to two the. 446 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by. 447 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: Newstalksp Starting to deal with Milton and Florida. They're still 448 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: mopping up from Helene. Forty seven point five billion. They've 449 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: at last put a number on at forty seven point 450 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: Milton's five Category five.

But 503 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 14: it hasn't really worked out. We've now got Fico in 504 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 14: in Slovakia as well as the Hungarians saying pretty much 505 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 14: not in our lifetime that NATO membership will not be 506 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 14: available for Ukraine. So you're a lot of fudging around 507 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 14: over this next couple of days. Might because Zelenski is 508 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 14: essentially going to come to Germany at the end of 509 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 14: this week with what he calls is a victory plan. 510 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 14: He wants his victory plan endorsed by NATO. He also 511 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 14: wants to reinforce that idea that they need to be 512 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 14: part of Western Security Alliance. But he also needs more resources. 513 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 14: This war has now been going on since February twenty 514 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 14: twenty two. He needs NATO to step up, just at 515 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 14: a time when NATO's trying to keep its own members 516 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 14: on site exactly now. 517 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: Listen, I made an observation on the program earlier on 518 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: this morning. I'd be interested to know and how it's 519 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: covered in your part of the world. We don't get 520 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: coverage of Ukraine the way we used to, because my 521 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 2: argument is the people who put the news together these 522 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: days think we don't have the bandwidth the deal with 523 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: two wars at once. So we're very much dominated by 524 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: the Middle East at the moment. Is it the same 525 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: in Europe? Will not say, pretty. 526 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 14: Much dominated by the Middle East, but also still a 527 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 14: lot about Ukraine mainly because of just everything that flows 528 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 14: from Ukraine. Or you've got the migration, you've got the 529 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 14: strain on the economy, you've got so many strains, you've 530 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 14: got it always happening. And you know, we are very 531 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 14: close to Ukraine, as it's not that far away, so 532 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 14: it's still un alvels. 533 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: Plus you still have. 534 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 14: A lot of Ukrainian refugees who live in France, who 535 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 14: live in Europe, and they lead this very strange existence, mate, 536 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 14: because you can actually go back to Ukraine and you 537 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 14: see people who go back for holidays, go back and 538 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 14: see their family in Kiev and then come back, and 539 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 14: buses leave and they take people. And if you want 540 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 14: to send parcels to relatives in Ukraine, you take it 541 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 14: down to the bus station, put on the bus and 542 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 14: they drop it off in Levev or Kiev. So it's 543 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 14: something that's always there, even though it might not always 544 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 14: be number one on the news bullets. And of an evening, very. 545 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: Interesting us to talk to Catherine and go, well, we'll 546 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: catch up soon, Catherine Field and France, and of course 547 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: western side of the country is largely untouched, isn't it. 548 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: Just quickly on Ireland because I've got to so this 549 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: honey trap thing, here's the important part about it. So 550 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: it's been revealed that an Irish MP was hooked up 551 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: by a Russian during the Brixit talks, and the Irish 552 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: MP promised to do a whole bunch of inferious stuff, 553 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: a lot of which he had no right to be 554 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: able to say, not only legally, but he had no 555 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: real connection with the bricks At talks anyway, and he 556 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: was going to basically cause trouble. This has become public. 557 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: The Prime Minister an Ireland's guy called Harris, Simon Harris. 558 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: They asked him yesterday do you know who this person is? 559 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: And all he could say was, you know, the fact 560 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: that Russia's trying to interfere is of no surprise to anybody. 561 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: But the important part is this guy still in the Parliament. 562 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: So we don't know who he is, and we don't 563 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: know what he's doing there, and we don't know what 564 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: he promised or what he did he didn't do, and 565 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: how nefarious the whole thing's got so between the shin 566 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 2: Fein and the Prime Minister, Ireland has got itself in 567 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: a fair amount of pop It's nine minutes away from seven. 568 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: On My cost Breakfast with the Jaguar f Base News 569 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: Dogs FV. 570 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: What is it with labor governments? Elban easy first term government, 571 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: every chance of losing next year and Britain's got the 572 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 2: same problem. One hundred days and they're doing a reset 573 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: literally as we speak, they are resetting their government's agenda. 574 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 2: Are one hundred days in poll out this morning on 575 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: Starmer he now sits at minus thirty three. Rushi they 576 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: thought was bad at minus twenty six Starmers now minus 577 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: thirty three, which is a drop of forty four points 578 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: since he won the election. So what they're looking at 579 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: now They've got the budget coming up and that's a 580 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: disaster as well. Value added tax on private school fees. 581 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: They're rethinking that because they don't think that they can 582 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 2: get it implemented in time. They're reconsidering a planned overhaul 583 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: of the tax regime for non doms that's the foreigners, 584 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 2: because all the non doms are going to leave the 585 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: country and they don't even think they'll get the money 586 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 2: they thought they were going to get the first place. Also, 587 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: proposals to close loophole on carried interest, that sort of 588 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: private equhen he may don't worry about that. But anyway, 589 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: that's been looked at again because Treasury has had a 590 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: look at that and they say that could end up 591 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: costing the chancell of money instead of actually saving money. 592 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 2: So all of this was part of a big promise. 593 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 2: They were going to raise about nine billion dollars out 594 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: of all of this, and then they were going to 595 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 2: hire six and a half thousand new teachers, forty thousand 596 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: more operations scans and appointments in eight and a half 597 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: thousand new mental health staff. But given the getting none 598 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: of that, and they've been accepting freebies from Lord R. 599 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: Lee in the form of suits and glasses, things have 600 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: gone a bit pear shaped, five away from seven. 601 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: While the ins and the outs, it's the farz with 602 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: business favor. Take your business productivity to the next. 603 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: Level, you know, Rod with us after thirty this morning, 604 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: news from the Employment Relations Authority and NIB the Workplace 605 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 2: Well Being Survey.

Fifty percent of us 613 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: worried about the ability to serve us our current level 614 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: of personal debt. That's up from thirty nine. Forty four 615 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: percent of us are worried about job security. That's up 616 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 2: from thirty three.

It's a bad day in our navy, 665 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: but one that's not going to define us. 666 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: But literally when the phone rang, which I assume that 667 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 2: you must have thought what I mean, you can never 668 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: have thought that you would ever hear those words. 669 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 4: Look, well, when I got the phone, it was all 670 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 4: about priority as the safety and well being off the crew. 671 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 4: That was at the forefront of my mind, fair enough, 672 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: and being there last night when they arrived back and 673 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 4: he's yelling with the Prime Minister and Minister's pink and Collins. 674 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 4: It was to be there and present to welcome them 675 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 4: back to event quite through, quite an ordeal. 676 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: Right as far as the dive is, the assessment, the 677 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: time frame, the job, the cost, where are we at 678 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: with that? 679 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 4: So at first light this morning, subject to favorable whether 680 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 4: the diver is going to head out to the site. 681 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 4: They've got a remotely operated vehicle which they'll send down 682 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 4: as well as do a number of dives. Their primary 683 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 4: purposes to assess the depth, the condition of the ship 684 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 4: and any presence of oil coming out of the vessel. 685 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: Beyond that, you've got no idea as to cost, time frame, 686 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: any of that. 687 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 4: No, the key focus for us is supporting the small 688 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 4: and government, so we've got a number of lines of effort. 689 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 4: As I mentioned, the diving will be conducted. Also have 690 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 4: maritime New Zealand experts with the light spilkit and some 691 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 4: environmental wildlife experts. They will be supporting the government authorities 692 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 4: with the cleanup and spill activities. We also got a 693 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: real navy ship, Tamar, which is nearby. They have a 694 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 4: spilkit on board. Unfortunately they have been unable to deploy 695 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 4: that due to the weather, but hopefully if the weather permits, 696 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 4: they'll get that out today and then we've got a 697 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: heavy spilkit from Maritime New Zealand that we're loading onto 698 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 4: Canbury and that will deploy tomorrow. 699 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: Who makes decisions? Are you in charge or are the 700 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: Simons in charge? 701 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 4: It's a Samoan lead. We will provide support to them 702 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 4: and it's a cross agency response from a New Zealand perspective. 703 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: You got any clues as to what went wrong, that's. 704 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 4: The important part of it is not to do any speculation. 705 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 4: So we've got a Court of Inquiry team that we 706 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 4: are standing up. We're just close to finalizing that composition 707 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 4: and the terms of reference, making sure that the inquiry 708 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 4: covers the lead up, the event itself and also posts 709 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 4: so we can learn the lessons and not a repeat 710 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 4: event like this. 711 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: But what's the vibe? I mean, you must have a 712 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: hunt as to or you must have heard as to 713 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: what they think happened. 714 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 4: Again, my speculating is not what we want to do. 715 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 4: We need to understand the facts and that's the whole 716 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 4: reason we're setting up the Court of Inquiry and they 717 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: will do a number of interviews get to the bottom 718 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: of what went on and in time we'll release that. 719 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: What's your role with the Minister in an assessment of 720 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 2: a replacement. Do you have any say at all or not? 721 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 4: Really, that's up to the government to decide that as 722 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 4: part of our defense capability plan, and that is being 723 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 4: presented to them in the coming months. 724 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate time very much. Garren Golding, who 725 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: is a rear admiral head of the Navy. Ten minutes 726 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: past seven Principles Bill gets another outing today. David Tumill's 727 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 2: accepted a request from NATI Tower to debate that the 728 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: invitation came from the EE leader Helmet Modlika a couple 729 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: of months ago. The event's going to be screamed tonight. 730 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: The ACT leader, David Seymour is with us. David, very 731 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 732 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 15: Good morning mate. 733 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 2: Is it a proper debate with rules of engagement in 734 00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: the time framers? It are free for all. 735 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 15: Well, if you've ever watched the Working Group podcast, they 736 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 15: have four people. Two are kind of hosts, Martin Bradbury, 737 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 15: the former radio people. God yeah, but look they've also 738 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 15: got Damian Grant, who I'm sure you're. 739 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah. 740 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 15: So look, it's it's a bit free flowing to be there, 741 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 15: but I think it's actually a really good format because 742 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 15: it allows people to make their points. It's a bit 743 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 15: of fun and it sounds like it's going to be 744 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 15: similar casts by indied me. The Herald's website are in 745 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 15: z on Sky eighty three and just about everyone who's 746 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 15: got anything kind of vaguely digital tonight. 747 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: You should have got David Higgins involved and how to 748 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: pay for you. 749 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 15: Well, actually, if I'd thought about that, if this one 750 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 15: goes well, and see if we can capitalize, does. 751 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 2: The Twain ever meet here? I mean, it's such rightly 752 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 2: or wrongly, whatever side you're on, it's such an angsty 753 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: debate now, isn't it. 754 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 5: I don't. 755 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 15: I think that's true. But the people that have been 756 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 15: making the most noise are not the people that you want. 757 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 15: And that's why I accepted a debate with Helmut that 758 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 15: I've met in quite a few times, had dinner a 759 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 15: few times. There are actually reasonable thinking people who are 760 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 15: just saying, look, you know, we need to figure out 761 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 15: how to make this country work. And of course, you know, 762 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 15: Helmet has some different views to me in some sense, 763 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 15: but I just believe it has to come back to 764 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 15: equal rights for all New Zealanders and the treaty provides 765 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 15: for that. So I think It's going to be a 766 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 15: good discussion, and I think it'll be a model for 767 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 15: what can happen with us Treaty Principles Bill, because ultimately 768 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 15: there are people that want it to be all bad 769 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 15: and we can't have an opinion and we shouldn't be 770 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 15: able to say anything because we're not experts. But I 771 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 15: actually think that New Zealand needs to mature a little 772 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 15: bit to the point where ordinary people can have an 773 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 15: opinion about their country's constitutional future. 774 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: It'll be nice. Well go well Ton, I appreciate it. 775 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: David Seymore, the act leader with us. This morning twelve 776 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 2: and it is past seven, I get comment on the 777 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 2: PvdA conference yesterday. Please tell me you're joking. I wasn't 778 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: joking that it was so weird. If you missed it, 779 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 2: go back online and look it up. It was extraordinary morning. 780 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 2: MIKEE what brand of linen sheet? Good question, no doubt. 781 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: Kate brought them correct, So can you please check with 782 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: her and let us know. Are they the French linen 783 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: from Foxtrot? Mike, We have recently changed from cotton to linen. 784 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: We just love them. Tell them. I'm here to tell you. 785 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 2: Once you go, never come back. Thirteen past the. 786 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard By 787 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: News talks, that'd be. 788 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 2: Good point Linen Mike for winter, Crisp Cotton for summer, 789 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 2: sixteen minutes past seven, and so the debates unfurls now. 790 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: The ongoing carnage that is at least part of our 791 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 2: media landscape had another chapter added to it. Of course, yesterday, 792 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 2: once again at TV and said looking to cut costs, 793 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: retrench numbers, new consultation periods underway. They're looking to save 794 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: another thirty million dollars. Media commentator doctor Gavin Ellis witherus 795 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning mate, without being too mean about it, 796 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 2: do you think to a degree anyway, they've missed the 797 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 2: boat on tech and transformation and they're now reaping what 798 00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: they've sowd. 799 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 9: I'm not sure that's yet to fully play out, you know, 800 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 9: the streaming. The streaming strategy is one that both they 801 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 9: and TV three are still working on, although I have 802 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 9: to say that there are plenty of others in the 803 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 9: market ahead of them. So from a you know, in 804 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 9: one sense, yes, they are late to the game. Let's 805 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 9: say that, do you. 806 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 2: Know what they actually said yesterday? And do they have 807 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: a specific plan, because in the headlines I read it 808 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 2: seemed to be sort of will outsource a bit of this, 809 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: and we'll set up a team here and we'll have 810 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: a creative hub. What does any of that mean. 811 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 9: Well, I think that they were being very, very cautious 812 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 9: because of the mess they got themselves into with negotiations 813 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 9: with staff last time. Remember, they got a bit of 814 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 9: a slap over the wrist. So they're hedging their bets 815 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 9: here and not saying too much until the negotiating processes 816 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 9: is out. But look, I think the one thing that 817 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 9: we do know for sure is that the one news 818 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 9: website is going to be scrapped. I don't think there's 819 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 9: any doubt about that. 820 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 2: No, indeed, not do we need week I thought websites 821 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 2: were you've got to have a website, and then suddenly 822 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: you don't have to have a website. 823 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 9: Well, it depends what they do with streaming, you know. 824 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 9: I mean, I regret the loss of any news outlet, 825 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 9: but you know, look, these people are in the same position. 826 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 9: TV broadcasters are in the same position now that newspapers 827 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 9: were in years ago, but with a compressed time frame. 828 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 9: The commercial realities are that they don't have the money 829 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 9: they used to have. So what they're doing is they're 830 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 9: reverting to their core skills, visual production, rather than the 831 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 9: written word. So I can understand that it's a risk, sure, 832 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 9: but you know, let's face it, One News is not 833 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 9: the top website. 834 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 2: No it is not, by long shot, No it is not. 835 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: My other concern is they seem to think streaming is 836 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 2: the answer, which of course it is, but they've also 837 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 2: got to have the heft and then wherewithal to be 838 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 2: a great streamer and compete with the big Do they 839 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 2: have that or not. 840 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 9: That's their real challenge because moving from a broadcast environment 841 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 9: into a you know, now they are the dominant player, 842 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 9: into a streaming environment where they clearly aren't. You know, 843 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 9: Netflix is dominant there. There are some huge risks there. 844 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 9: The other thing is that you know, they will face 845 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 9: pressure not to turn off terrestrial television because there'll be 846 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 9: people who you know, can't afford streaming or in areas 847 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 9: where it's difficult to get So they're going to be 848 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 9: in a position where they've got conflicting pressures on them 849 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 9: and they're not getting any more money. That's quite clear. 850 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 9: The government's not going to bail them out. 851 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 2: No, you and I have been around Gavin for about 852 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 2: three hundred and twelve. 853 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 9: Years, three hundred and fifteen. 854 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: Fifteen, I stand corrected. Have you ever seen a bigger mess? 855 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 2: Not just TV and Z but the mess the media 856 00:39:59,760 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 2: is in? 857 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 9: Probably not. I think that that things are getting to 858 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 9: a point where we might have what, you know what 859 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 9: a friend of mine calls a cathartic moment, you know 860 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 9: where where something really major happens and it resets the 861 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 9: whole of the of the landscape. Now that's a pretty 862 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 9: dystopic view, I know. But we're seeing a lot of 863 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 9: negative things happening and not a lot of positives that 864 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 9: are that are coming up to, you know, to to 865 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 9: counteract them. I mean, I think that ENZ and means 866 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 9: move with with one roof, for example, is a way 867 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 9: in which a company is diversifying to to try and 868 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 9: overcome the commercial realities of traditional media. But many don't 869 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 9: have quite the same options that that has had. 870 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 2: All right, good inside, Kevin shout at Dr Gavin Ellis, 871 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: who is with us this morning, Prime Minister still to come. 872 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 2: But in the moment, jobs and what they're paid. 873 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on aheart 874 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: Radio Power by Newstalks b. 875 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 2: Now, if you're a business leader, you're always looking for 876 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 2: investment opportunities, of course, so how does a risk free 877 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: return on investment of five hundred plus percent sound?

There are plenty 904 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 2: of civil servants here, of course, who earn more than 905 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 2: the Prime minister. We don't seem to have a problem 906 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 2: with that, but we don't like it. It appears that the 907 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: pms are a little bit wealthy. But I'll come back 908 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 2: to that. The Cabinet Secretary in Britain has paid a 909 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 2: couple of hundred thousand dollars a year, and a bloke 910 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 2: called Lord O'Donnell who used to do it, is busy 911 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 2: running a campaign arguing it's grossly underpaid. As for Miss Gray, 912 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 2: she was on one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a 913 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 2: year the prime minister's one hundred and sixty six. When 914 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 2: this was revealed, she became a distraction. Quit Ironically, she's 915 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 2: got a new job that no one seems to understand 916 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 2: what it means, which is one of the ironies of 917 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 2: this whole jealousy driven nonsense. Would you rather a person 918 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 2: in a high performance role get more in a job 919 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,879 Speaker 2: that you understand, or they get less than a job 920 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 2: that you've got no idea just what it is they do. 921 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 2: But because it isn't more than the Prime minister, that 922 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 2: then looks okay. The fact that they may or may 923 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 2: not do anything is beside the point, which brings us 924 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 2: back to the current Prime minister here, who, because he 925 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 2: sold a couple of rentals, is clearly far too wealthy, 926 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: so we need a good bitch about that as well. 927 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 2: The fact that the National Party Prime minister before the 928 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 2: current one was a mile more wealthy again never really 929 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: seem to bother anybody. So maybe it's this post COVID 930 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 2: cost of living angst that's got so many people upset 931 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: at the moment. If you want something to exercise yourself with, 932 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 2: how about the prime minister who ran the country into 933 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 2: the ground, then scarpe it to write a book and 934 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 2: wander around the speaking circuit, creaming it by making money 935 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 2: from her in aptitude and subsequent economic misfortune. What's worse 936 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 2: a civil servant working god knows how many hours for 937 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars a year, a prime minister in 938 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 2: New Zealand on four hundred and eighty four thousand dollars 939 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 2: a year, but a couple of properties he made money on, 940 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: or or a fly by nighter who came second in 941 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 2: one election locked us down for the second. Buggeted up 942 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 2: in record fashion, fled to make a fortune telling people 943 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 2: how kind she is. See, some people in jobs are 944 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 2: worth the money, some aren't. But jealousy is a waste 945 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 2: of e motion asking Mike O Kate didn't choose Irish 946 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 2: linen suit. She's a sheet, She's a full It's expensive, 947 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 2: but so worth it. Thank you, Pete.

Therefore she said she raised something she didn't, 988 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 2: hence the inference. 989 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 16: She yees, yeah, Look, I mean the bottom line, she's 990 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 16: always advocated for restrictions on what's called high magazines, high 991 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 16: capacity magazines, and she still does to today as well. 992 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 16: But that report was about illegal firearms that Paula was 993 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 16: running at that time, and actually high capacity magazines was 994 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 16: actually out of scope of that report. You know, how 995 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 16: these reviews happened, and so there are lots of ways 996 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 16: that advice has passed through, but it didn't need to 997 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 16: be in the report for her to hold that position, 998 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 16: And so she still holds that position, which is high 999 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 16: capacity magazines need restrictions on them. But that report was 1000 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 16: about illegal firearms, not high capacity magazines. 1001 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 2: Just for clarity's sake, ye, if she wasn't in chargeable, 1002 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 2: there just seemed to be tremendous numbers of people angsty 1003 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 2: about what she's trying to do or not trying to do. 1004 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 2: If she wasn't in charge of this, would you still 1005 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 2: be doing the same thing legally speaking? 1006 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 16: Well, I mean, or is this all act Tom mcla 1007 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 16: and I had talked about before the election at The 1008 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 16: Arms Act is actually forty years old, and it actually 1009 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 16: does need a bit of overhauling and reviewing because we've 1010 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 16: got to make sure that we've got good gun safety. 1011 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 16: We would have also been looking at the review of 1012 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,240 Speaker 16: the register because we want to make sure that's actually 1013 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 16: working efficiently. I want to make sure that it's actually 1014 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 16: getting good levels of compliance. There's a bunch of things 1015 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 16: that we would do, So yeah, we would have done 1016 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 16: some of the same things, but this is you know, 1017 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 16: we've got a program of work after forty years of 1018 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 16: an Arms Act that actually does need to be re wrestiled. 1019 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 2: The stoff that people we were doing it in like. 1020 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 16: Four phases, and one of the basics was like, you know, 1021 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 16: I saw a report this week saying, look, you know 1022 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 16: there's a loophole now for gang members at gun rangers. Well, 1023 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 16: no disrespect, but a gang member is not going to 1024 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 16: a gun range where you learn gun safety. 1025 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 2: Through the politics of this workout. Do you believe in 1026 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 2: what you're doing, whether the cole the key's running it 1027 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 2: or not. 1028 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it's entirely appropriate. We revisit the Arms 1029 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 16: Act and do a good rewrite and make sure it's 1030 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 16: that for purpose and it's driving safety. 1031 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 2: Is Casey Costello a distraction now? 1032 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 16: And as she trouble, Well, she's, I mean, honestly, in 1033 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 16: my conversations with she is really fixated on lowering smoking rates, genuinely. So, yes, 1034 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 16: she's We've tried some things around heated tobacco products, she's 1035 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 16: put some better security around vapes and child proofing and 1036 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 16: all that good stuff. So look, I think you know 1037 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 16: she's actually very focused on. 1038 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 2: Well she may be focused, but do you believe that 1039 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 2: what she's doing by giving tax breaks effectively to a 1040 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 2: tobaccota is a smart move. 1041 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 16: Well, yeah, yeah, because I mean we've got some of 1042 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 16: the lowest smoking rates in the world. Right, We've gone 1043 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 16: from eight points six down to six point eight percent. 1044 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 16: We've got the Smoke Free twenty twenty five, which gets 1045 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 16: us to five percent daily smoking. We're on track to 1046 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 16: deliver that. In fact, the New Zealand legislation has worked 1047 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 16: incredibly well to give us lower smoking rates in the world, 1048 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 16: or some of them. She's now saying, look, let me 1049 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 16: let us try any alternative to get people off cigarettes. 1050 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 16: We've done obviously with vaping coming in. I think over 1051 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 16: that period has been and that four year period has 1052 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 16: been two hundred and thirty thousand people give up cigarette smoking. 1053 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 16: If heated tobacco products work and the sense of it 1054 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 16: gets people off cigarettes, that's a good thing. That tax 1055 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 16: loss of tax ex size excised tax, just so you clear, 1056 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 16: is actually us putting a count unting treatment aside saying look, 1057 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 16: depending upon how much people switch, depending upon whether these 1058 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 16: products are made available in the Zeland marketplace or not 1059 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 16: and are compliant with our childproof regulations, that will depend 1060 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 16: upon how many people move off smokes into the heat 1061 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 16: of tobacco products. And therefore, if it was a mass amount, 1062 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 16: we've got a big number put aside as we should do. 1063 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 16: It's not the tex SISE revenue will go up from 1064 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 16: because there'll be people still smoking. 1065 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 2: The reason I asked the question is that both of 1066 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,399 Speaker 2: these aren't your ministers. They are your ministers, but they're 1067 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 2: not from your party. Is it optically getting awkward? 1068 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 5: Look? 1069 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 16: I mean, I appreciate these politics at play, and they 1070 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 16: want to know the other side we want to go 1071 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 16: after them. But I can tell you Nicole McKee is 1072 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 16: very focused on gun safe. I can tell you know 1073 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 16: Casey Costello is very focused on lowing smoking rates. And 1074 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:41,840 Speaker 16: I'm comfortable, Okay. 1075 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,320 Speaker 2: So by the time you then add this up, Casey Costello, 1076 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 2: who have been your target since you've been in government? 1077 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 2: Casey Costello, Penny Simmons, Nicole McKee, Karen Schuaw, all women 1078 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 2: all new Yeah, if you read a new thing into. 1079 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 16: That, well, I just think that's the opposition tactic to 1080 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 16: go after new ministers, and many of those are actually 1081 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 16: outside cabinet as well. And and Penny Simmons is probably 1082 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 16: the other one that's been in the gun at times 1083 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 16: as well. So you know that's why I'm saying, no, no. 1084 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 2: You sacked her. Yeah no, no, no, no. 1085 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 16: We've focused, We've refocused. No, you sacked her, you sacked 1086 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:14,919 Speaker 16: I've refocused them. 1087 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 2: We can depeat that all day long. 1088 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 16: But but what I have to say to you is 1089 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 16: they are good ministers who are focused on what I'm 1090 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 16: asking them to do, which is lower smoking rates, make 1091 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 16: sure our gun laws are safe. 1092 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 2: Makes you out, Casey Costello, Nicole McKee are safe in 1093 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 2: their portfolios. They're doing a good job. They're backed by 1094 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 2: the government. All on this, we're all on the same page. Yes, okay. 1095 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,359 Speaker 2: Dunedin Hospital the three billion dollar number, where is that? 1096 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 16: Well, that's our latest assessment that it's approaching three billion. 1097 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 2: Who it's basically the. 1098 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,919 Speaker 16: One point nine that we've put in. We put another 1099 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 16: three hundred million in. It started at one point two, 1100 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 16: went to one point six, gone to one point nine. 1101 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 16: There's been a latest review where several hundred million dollars 1102 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,839 Speaker 16: over there's another four hundred million dollars of ancillary stuff 1103 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 16: on it, and that gets you approaching three billion. 1104 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 2: Who's done the review because it's not public. There's three 1105 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 2: billion dollars, isn't public, No one can see find it, 1106 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,719 Speaker 2: and so the inferences you're making it up. No, we're 1107 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 2: not making it up. This is just a labour special 1108 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 2: that we've inherited. 1109 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 16: Whether it's been Fairies, school project, school buildings, or now 1110 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 16: to need an hospital. All of these things are ideas 1111 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 16: that end up running without budget that actually backs them 1112 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,399 Speaker 16: up from behind. I tell you, at three billion dollars, 1113 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 16: that would be the most expensive hospital building. 1114 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 2: If it is do we haven't seen the three billion. 1115 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 2: We've only got your word on it. If it isn't 1116 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 2: three billion and it's say two point one or two 1117 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 2: point two, that's a whole different scenario. And you've got 1118 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: a really angry town, as you found out yesterday. Yeah yeah, yeah, 1119 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 2: but that's Look, I get the frustration. 1120 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,399 Speaker 16: I mean, I'm frustrated as a new government ten months 1121 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 16: and having to clean this mess up and sort it out. 1122 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 16: But we are said we'd make tough decisions. We said 1123 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 16: that we'd get financial discipline in the joint and we've 1124 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 16: taken the budget from one point six to one point nine. 1125 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 16: We can build a very good hospital in Otago for 1126 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 16: the people of the South for one point nine billion dollars, 1127 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 16: but it will be one point nine billion dollars. And 1128 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,800 Speaker 16: that's why we've got the urgent review with Chris Bishop 1129 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 16: and Shane Reti looking at do you stage the old 1130 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 16: site or do you scale back. 1131 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 2: The new site. 1132 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 16: But we've got to get this thing back within the 1133 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 16: one point nine billion we're up for. We'll do that 1134 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 16: very quickly and then we've got to get it. 1135 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 2: But if you're running it on one point nine and 1136 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 2: what as opposed to what the region actually needs. What 1137 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 2: if one point nine becomes basically a ten shed on 1138 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 2: the court of the site blows out? Again? I just 1139 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,280 Speaker 2: look all around the world. 1140 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 16: You can build some pretty amazing buildings for one point 1141 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 16: nine billion dollars. 1142 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we don't know. 1143 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 16: But we need to and we need to get a 1144 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 16: hell of a lot better at building infrastructure. And so 1145 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 16: that's part of the thing that maybe there's some different 1146 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 16: ways of doing this. We've said we're open to public 1147 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 16: private partnerships. There's all sorts of ways that we could 1148 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 16: deliver it. 1149 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 2: We are delivering. Get the Chinese and you remember when 1150 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 2: COVID came along and they built those hospitals. Yeah, and 1151 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: they've built them in a week and everyone said they're 1152 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 2: fall down. They didn't fall down. Why you get the Chinese, Well, 1153 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 2: we will look. 1154 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 16: At all options. I won't be the Chinese, but we 1155 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 16: will look at all options. The Chinese, Well, we'll look 1156 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,840 Speaker 16: at all options to make sure we can build a 1157 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 16: kick as if a hospital down in another south. 1158 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 2: What's the wrong with the Chinese. No, there's nothing wrong 1159 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:57,720 Speaker 2: with the Chinese. 1160 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 16: But I'm just saying we're up for anything to look 1161 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 16: at getting this infrastructure built because we do a problem 1162 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 16: like I mean, you would have seen it with the 1163 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 16: school property buildings, right. I'm sure that report came back saying, man, 1164 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 16: we've got massive mission creep. We've got all these architectural buildings, 1165 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 16: everything's bespoke, huge costs. Four hundred and fifty schools from memory, 1166 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,399 Speaker 16: you know, a couple almost two billion dollars, not. 1167 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 2: Literally, that's what we do a standardized way. Because I 1168 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 2: was watching Bishop and Erica stand there in front of 1169 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: these new buildings. I understand what they're buildings. So they're 1170 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 2: building prefare buildings. I get that. But what I don't get, 1171 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 2: because they haven't seen the three billion dollars, is whether 1172 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 2: the three billions real or you're just making it up 1173 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 2: for excuse yet no in not getting the hospital they deserve, 1174 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 2: and we're promise no, no, did anyone. 1175 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 16: Get the hospital? They'll get a great hospital for one 1176 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 16: point nine billion dollars. Okay, that's what we're going to do. 1177 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 2: Because you need another hundred million plus for the ship 1178 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 2: that's sunk. So are you going to replace it? 1179 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 16: Well, it'll be dependent upon our defense capability plan that 1180 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 16: we've got going on. 1181 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 2: So what I've asked. 1182 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 16: We've got new leaders of the military on all the 1183 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 16: three forces. We've actually got a new Minister with Judith Collins, 1184 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 16: and a new Secretory of Defense. I've asked that new 1185 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 16: leadership group to write us a strategy for the next 1186 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 16: ten to twenty years because I actually want to know 1187 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 16: that where we're going to add value to our relationships 1188 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 16: and our partnerships, you know, particularly Australia. So we've got 1189 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 16: to choose, as a small country, what we're going to 1190 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 16: be really brilliant and well class at and capability we're 1191 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 16: going to bring to our alliance partners and choose actually 1192 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 16: what we're not going to do. And so I want 1193 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,759 Speaker 16: that strategy and that leadership team to come together. That 1194 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 16: plan will come together probably end of year early next year, 1195 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,479 Speaker 16: and obviously now with an anticipated loss of this this ship, 1196 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 16: we need to put that into the considerations. 1197 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 2: Can you believe what's going on in this country at times? 1198 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 16: We've got a lot of things to sort out, my friend. Yeah, 1199 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 16: there are moments where you pick up every rock and 1200 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 16: you go jeeves. Okay, the healthcare is Thistin has got 1201 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 16: some challenges education, but we can fix it. 1202 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 2: Might speaking of healthcare, the deficits blown out nine hundred 1203 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 2: and something million dollars has lest the leady. Actually I'm 1204 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 2: not criticizing, I'm just asking has he actually done anything yet, 1205 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 2: because he's the fear When you got appointed, it was 1206 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:51,840 Speaker 2: a million dollars. 1207 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 16: And they started in July one, and those reports that 1208 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 16: that fit seut of finances to June thirty. 1209 00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 2: I saw Labor have a go at. 1210 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 16: Us trying to sort of distract from having botched the 1211 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 16: system up by saying, oh, I know, we've faked the numbers. 1212 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:04,720 Speaker 2: We haven't faked the numbers. 1213 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 16: The reality is, even if you put the pay equity 1214 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 16: money on that side of the financial year, you still 1215 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,879 Speaker 16: have six hundred million dollar sort of deficit. So now 1216 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 16: he's doing a great job and he's trying to you know, 1217 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 16: he's got a lot to sort through. You know, you've 1218 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 16: got to make sure they've got financial capability. And we 1219 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 16: understand when we're putting seventeen billion dollars more in and 1220 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 16: we're putting two billion into farmacts, six hundred million more 1221 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:26,839 Speaker 16: into those cancer drugs, we're putting a lot of money 1222 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 16: in and I need to know that good money is 1223 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 16: going into a good organization, not a bad one. 1224 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 2: And so he's sorting it out. I asked Chris Boshop 1225 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 2: this yesterday. But you're sitting in the studio this morning 1226 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 2: because once again parliament's not sitting in this country. And 1227 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 2: one of the things you need to do when you 1228 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 2: open parliament has passed the fast Track law. Yes, so 1229 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 2: we can get on and build some stuff. Yes, why 1230 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 2: aren't you opening parliament and passing the fast track law. 1231 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 16: Well, we will have that as law before the end 1232 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,320 Speaker 16: of the year. With the aill and gas ban overturned 1233 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 16: by the end of the year. We've got a big 1234 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,439 Speaker 16: program between now and Christmas. So Chris's Leader of the House, 1235 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,279 Speaker 16: he's got to work that schedule up with the other 1236 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 16: political parties in the Parliament and the Speaker. But you know, 1237 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 16: we've got a lot of wit to do. 1238 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 2: Okay, just quickly from Dinegan yesterday. The other heat you 1239 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,800 Speaker 2: got was this business of an alleged buyout or whatever. 1240 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 2: So Mitchell says, the blueprints coming is a buyout of 1241 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,240 Speaker 2: any description in difficult parts of the country. Your problem 1242 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:15,240 Speaker 2: or a council's problem. 1243 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 16: Well, actually it's a number of players challenges, and that's 1244 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 16: why we want a proper a thought. You know, we 1245 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 16: want to need a proper sort of framework and approach 1246 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,320 Speaker 16: to it over many years, because it's going to be 1247 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 16: over decades. But actually the property owner has a piece 1248 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 16: of this and some resk to share, banks, insurance companies, 1249 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 16: local government, regional councils and central government. And it's going 1250 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 16: to be our generation but also to be the generation 1251 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 16: in thirty years time. 1252 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 2: But does anyone addressing this, because I mean South the 1253 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 2: Needin has been flooding forever. We all know it's a 1254 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,800 Speaker 2: basin and so when it's a basin yet again, and 1255 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 2: they go, what do you do now? 1256 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 16: But I just say, actually, what was good having gone 1257 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 16: down there yesterday and seen actually what they did is 1258 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 16: like the pump station guy. So I actually went and 1259 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 16: met with them that do wastewater and stormwater pumping. Incredible job, 1260 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 16: like they were moving six thousand liters a second of 1261 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,080 Speaker 16: stormwater out of that system. They kept South toned and 1262 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 16: in great shape and are through that. And so the 1263 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 16: eleven red sticker buildings that are down there actually more 1264 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 16: to to a slip risk at the moment. So we 1265 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 16: just need to ascertain whether that's red stick at as 1266 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 16: we would talk about here in Auckland or on Hawk's 1267 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 16: Bay or not. 1268 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 2: And we'll work that through with the council. Good to see. 1269 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 2: Good See Christopher Luxem twelve away from eight. 1270 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1271 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1272 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 2: It'd be Mike Parliament not sitting because at school holidays 1273 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 2: it's been that way for years.

This is good. Very few firms told them 1311 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 2: they were looking to take on new staff. Many have 1312 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 2: been reducing the size of their workforce. Number of businesses, 1313 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 2: though noted that demand has been flat or mixed in 1314 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,920 Speaker 2: recent months. That's an improvement. Got some bright spots in 1315 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 2: the economy. Continued to trend higher in international visitor numbers, 1316 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 2: firming outlook for some of our key agricultural exports. That 1317 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 2: part's encouraging. Feedback on cost pressure is also less worrying 1318 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 2: than it has been for some time. 1319 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 5: Good. 1320 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 2: Most notable change, they say since their last survey, is 1321 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 2: the sense the worst is finally behind us, So I think, 1322 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 2: at last we're on the right track. North Island a 1323 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 2: bit more downbeat than the South Island, but slowly but 1324 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 2: surely things are coming right. News Next. 1325 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 1: Your trusted source for news and views, the my Hosking Breakfast, 1326 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts across residential, commercial, and 1327 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: rural news dogs'd be. 1328 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 2: Time hit, a seven class ape a month ago, a 1329 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 2: couple of assassination attempts, any number of ongoing court cases, 1330 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 2: several debates went involving a candidate no longer in the race, 1331 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 2: and polls that are so tight you can't separate Harris 1332 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 2: from Trump. So let's get a feel for where we 1333 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 2: think we might be at with our favorite America. Watching 1334 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 2: Nick Bryan, who's back with us next morning, to you. 1335 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 5: They might were at the point where the rubber meets 1336 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 5: the road. 1337 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Since we last talked, what are your 1338 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 2: thoughts on Harris as a candidate? 1339 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 17: Well, I think she's a lot better candidate than we 1340 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 17: thought she was going to be. I mean, it was 1341 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 17: all this Carmela mania stuff that came as a real surprise. 1342 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 17: I mean, Mike, a lot of people when Joe Biden 1343 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 17: really sort of destroyed himself in that first televised debate 1344 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 17: with Donald Trump. Really thought that Karmla wasn't ready for 1345 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 17: prime time. They were thinking of people like the California 1346 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 17: governor Gavin Usam. They were thinking of people like the 1347 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 17: Michigan governor Gretchen Whittner, a woman who's proven that she 1348 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 17: can do well in the Rost Belt. Obviously as vice 1349 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 17: president as the supposed next in line. Karmala Harris was 1350 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 17: on that list, but a lot of people didn't want 1351 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 17: her to end up the nominee, including I think people 1352 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 17: like Barack Obama who were mooting the possibility of some 1353 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,760 Speaker 17: sort of nominating process that was shorthand for saying let's 1354 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 17: not go with Kamala. 1355 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 5: I think they were worried about. 1356 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 17: Two really big negatives in their mind. At least one 1357 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 17: was her gender and one was her race. I mean, 1358 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 17: I think there are a lot of people who were 1359 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 17: worried that a black woman could not win those crucial 1360 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 17: states in the Roust Belt. But Mike, I mean, she 1361 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 17: really surprised people. I mean, then it started off with 1362 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 17: the speed at which she got the nomination. I think 1363 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 17: that showed that she was a politician to be reckoned 1364 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 17: with I think people started looking at her anew They 1365 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 17: thought it was crazy that she'd been hidden away really 1366 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 17: for the first two years of the Biden presidency. And 1367 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 17: I think on the very night Mike, there was a 1368 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 17: turning point. She did an you with Alison Cooper on 1369 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 17: CNN very shortly after, but Biden's disastrous pull of debate performance, 1370 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 17: she came across very well. She admitted what we'd all 1371 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 17: seen that it wasn't a very good performance. She was commanding. 1372 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 17: She's sat in front of American flag, she looked presidential, 1373 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 17: she sounded presidential. I think in a lot of verde 1374 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 17: As minds, that was when the turnaround began. I think 1375 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 17: she is strong, but I do think she still has weaknesses, 1376 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 17: particularly on the economy and particularly on immigration. 1377 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 2: All Right, a couple of things out of that as 1378 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 2: separating herself out from the Biden record. And Trump is 1379 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 2: making much of this at the moment. If you want 1380 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 2: to do all of this, how come you haven't done 1381 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 2: it in the last three and a half years. It's 1382 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 2: not an unfair attack, is it. 1383 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1384 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 17: I think she beat him in a televised debate, but 1385 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 17: I think his strongest response and his strongest statement was 1386 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 17: right at the end where he said, You've been speaking 1387 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 17: about all these things you want to do, but you've 1388 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 17: had four years to do them, so why haven't you 1389 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 17: done them? I think that is a statement that really resonates. 1390 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 17: She's trying to come across as a change candidate. Obviously, 1391 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 17: in an election where people do want change, Trump has 1392 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 17: a harder thing to persuade people on because he was 1393 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 17: the president four years ago. I think one of the 1394 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 17: problems that Krmala Harris has it's the same problem in 1395 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 17: some ways that Al Gore had in two thousand. He 1396 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 17: tried to distance himself with Bill Clinton, and in doing so, 1397 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 17: he distanced himself stuff that was good a parat the 1398 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 17: Clinton presidency. He was so keen to distance himself from 1399 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 17: the sort of scandal and the Monica Lewitzki side of 1400 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 17: the Clinton presidency that he didn't embrace the good, which 1401 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 17: was a really strong economy. And I think to a 1402 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 17: certain extent, Karmala Harris says the same problem. She's trying 1403 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 17: to distance herself from Biden. She's trying to say I'm 1404 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 17: the change candidate, and that makes perfect sense, but there 1405 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,439 Speaker 17: are some stuff that's happening in the Biden administration, which 1406 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 17: is good. And I think, you know, you've got to 1407 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 17: kind of trust the American lecture on stuff like this. 1408 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 17: They can differentiate what's good and what's bad. I mean, 1409 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 17: the economy is coming out of a slump. You know, 1410 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 17: the job numbers last week with very good inflations coming down. 1411 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 17: I realized the felt economy for a lot of voters 1412 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 17: doesn't feel the same. There's a lot of nostalgia for 1413 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 17: the Trump economy, lower interest rates, lower gas prices. But 1414 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 17: I think it's a tricky one to sort of say, 1415 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 17: you know, there are some good things that have happened 1416 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 17: during the Biden presidency, and there are things I need 1417 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 17: to distance myself from. And that leads to some of 1418 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 17: the mixed messaging and on questions like the economy, Mike, 1419 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 17: I mean this, this strikes me as just amazing. She 1420 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 17: still hasn't got a brilliant, really well home response. So 1421 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 17: that simple question, what do you do to solve the 1422 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 17: cost of living crisis? 1423 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 5: What do you do on the economy? 1424 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 17: She does serve up these word salads on that basic 1425 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 17: question when she'd have thought she'd have figured out. 1426 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 2: By it exactly. So I'm going to come to a 1427 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 2: thing called the Breakthrough, which is a polling project that 1428 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 2: tracks how public perceive and what they hear on this. 1429 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 2: But one of the things they are saying about her 1430 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 2: is she doesn't actually say anything. She just gibbles is 1431 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 2: that true or fear or not. 1432 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 5: It's a real problem for her. 1433 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,880 Speaker 17: I think during that debate performance, right she was in 1434 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 17: excellent form. I thought that the messaging was was pretty sharp. 1435 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 17: The one problem I thought she had was in the 1436 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 17: first question, which was the economy. And the problem for 1437 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 17: Kamala Harris, of course, is the economy is the paramount 1438 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 17: issue for most focus It's more important than what happened 1439 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 17: on January the sixth, It's more more important than what's 1440 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 17: happening in the Middle East right now. 1441 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 5: It is more important than abortion. It is the single 1442 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 5: most important issue. 1443 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 17: And I think on that she hasn't got a particularly 1444 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 17: good answer. They pursued a media strategy up until this week, really, 1445 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 17: which is to not do much media, and I think 1446 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 17: that's been a real problem because she just doesn't sad 1447 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 17: match for it. 1448 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 5: You know what It's like, man, the more you do it, 1449 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:21,919 Speaker 5: the more fluid you get. 1450 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 17: You get into kind of responses that are familiar you've 1451 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 17: used them before, You've used formulations that work, and the 1452 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 17: problem with the media strategy she hasn't had the chance 1453 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 17: to do that. I thought she was very good when 1454 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 17: she came out of the gate. She went straight to Wisconsin, 1455 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 17: which is one of the key states. She gave that 1456 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 17: great line. You know, I'm a prosecutor. I've dealt with cheats, 1457 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 17: I've dealt with felons. I'm used to Donald Trump's type. 1458 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 17: That was very good messaging and it really cut through 1459 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 17: a straight away. But I think the message on the 1460 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 17: economy has been really, really poor, and her messaging on immigration, 1461 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,040 Speaker 17: which is another key is she hasn't been great either. 1462 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 17: And I think you know, if you looking for the 1463 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 17: weaknesses in the in the Biden camp, I. 1464 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 5: Think that's that's a really huge weakness. 1465 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the other side in a 1466 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 2: couple of months. Stow with us Nicknickbrian out of Australia 1467 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 2: this morning. More on Trump in a moment thirteen past. 1468 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iheard radio 1469 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1470 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,439 Speaker 2: It'd be news Talks. It'll be sixteen past eight. One 1471 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,000 Speaker 2: month ago. In the US race, Errol made mcbriand is 1472 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 2: with us this morning. So Trump Nick last time, the 1473 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 2: argument was he's got the vote that he's got. They 1474 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 2: love them, they're electioned on, they're rusted on. He's not 1475 01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 2: growing it. Is that still true? 1476 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 9: Yeah? 1477 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 5: I mean he does have this ceiling, doesn't hear? 1478 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 17: Forty seven percent, it seems, and that may be enough 1479 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 17: to win the president's seaman. Let's face it, they've got 1480 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 17: an electoral college advantage. I mean, Trump won't win the 1481 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 17: nationwide vote i'd have thought, but he could win the 1482 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 17: presidency as he did in twenty sixteen, by winning the 1483 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 17: key states that you need to win, and in that 1484 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 17: in that election, of course, it was the Ross Belt. 1485 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 17: I don't think Donald Trump's as strong candidate as he 1486 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 17: was in twenty sixteen. We were talking about the problems 1487 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 17: with Carmla Harris's messaging. I think Trump has too. I mean, 1488 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 17: he's just not as articular, he's not as sharp, he's 1489 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 17: not as match fit as he was in twenty sixteen. Crucially, 1490 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 17: he's not doing so many rallies. He's sowing a really 1491 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 17: small number. 1492 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 5: Compared to what he did in twenty sixteen. 1493 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 17: I think sometimes presidential election is are a little bit 1494 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 17: like sport, Mike, the person who shows they are. 1495 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,439 Speaker 5: Desperate to win it and king to win it often 1496 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 5: wins it. 1497 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 17: And I just don't get that same hunger for victory 1498 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 17: in twenty twenty four that Trump had in twenty sixteen. 1499 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 17: And that's reflected in the number of rallies that he's doing. 1500 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 5: And he's an older man. 1501 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 17: I mean, he's seventy eight years old now, and obviously 1502 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 17: the age issue in this election has been completely upended. 1503 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 17: It was a thing that obviously force Biden from the race, 1504 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 17: but now it's a problem for Donald Trump as well. 1505 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 17: He just doesn't seem to be quite as strong a 1506 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 17: candidate as he was in twenty sixteen, and he does 1507 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,800 Speaker 17: have this problem about growing the base. And I mean, Mike, 1508 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 17: it's such a close race now, isn't it. I Mean, 1509 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 17: it's just all down to these seven states. And I mean, 1510 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,360 Speaker 17: of those seven, I keep on looking at those restpot 1511 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 17: states and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The race is just 1512 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 17: so tight there. It does look like Carmena Harris is 1513 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 17: a slight advantage at the moment, but we're talking about 1514 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,479 Speaker 17: shifts of just a few thousand votes. We're talking about 1515 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 17: who can get their vote out. You know, one of 1516 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,720 Speaker 17: the things that Trump always thinks is that there are 1517 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 17: people out there who don't ordinarily vote, many of them 1518 01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,639 Speaker 17: young men, who they hope can get to the polls, 1519 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 17: And anything that happens in the next few weeks, anything 1520 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 17: that just shifts a few votes in a few different places, 1521 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 17: could have the impact to actually decide this race. 1522 01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,679 Speaker 2: The old October surprise walls the Vance. Have they made 1523 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 2: a material difference or not. 1524 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:39,639 Speaker 5: I thought it was a really interesting debate. 1525 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 17: I think we found out that Tim Wills perhaps isn't 1526 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 17: the kind of huge bonus to the Democratic ticket that 1527 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 17: we thought he was initially. That was surprised how in 1528 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 17: particular he was who's sort of seen a bit gaff prone, 1529 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 17: didn't he when he said he's sort of befriended mass shooters, 1530 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 17: that kind of weird thing. 1531 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:53,559 Speaker 5: He wasn't sort of. 1532 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 17: He emerged as this sort of great communicated didn't he 1533 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,599 Speaker 17: the kind of America's dad, that high school football coach, 1534 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 17: the Friday night lights thing. 1535 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 5: And of course, you know, Jady Vance. 1536 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 17: Was sort of characterized as this kind of oversized frat boy, 1537 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 17: you know, somebody who's really nasty or the childless cat Laders. 1538 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 17: I mean, he came out just trying to show there's 1539 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,760 Speaker 17: no more mister nasty guy, didn't he He's had this 1540 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,640 Speaker 17: nice guy persona. But that final question, I mean, I 1541 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,240 Speaker 17: think for ninety minutes in the debate he was totally 1542 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 17: on top. But it was that final question about Jeremy 1543 01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 17: the sixth, wasn't it, And that final refusal to accept 1544 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,559 Speaker 17: that button had actually won in twenty twenty, that is 1545 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 17: the clip that has sort of survived the debate and 1546 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,800 Speaker 17: had the big after life after the debate. So I think, 1547 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,599 Speaker 17: you know, as I say, anything that shifts the doll 1548 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 17: in this election. Normally vice presidential debates don't matter at all, 1549 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 17: but I think that one could because I think a 1550 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 17: lot of women, especially are really not that keen on 1551 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 17: Jady Vance and often Mike. It just comes down to 1552 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,120 Speaker 17: wavering women. A lot of them live in these suburbs 1553 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 17: of the rost belt states like Philadelphia, like Milwaukee. You 1554 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:58,800 Speaker 17: know a lot of them just don't like Jady Vance. 1555 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 17: And that could be especially his answers on abortion, which 1556 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:03,679 Speaker 17: is another issue which is going to drive. 1557 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 5: A lot of vote for Kamla Harris. 1558 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,679 Speaker 2: So I take it from your comment to riderpiece yesterday 1559 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 2: suggested it's not unlikely, it's not impossible that you could 1560 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 2: get a result on the night college vote of two 1561 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 2: seventy to two sixty eight. It's that tight. Do you 1562 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 2: see that? 1563 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:17,400 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1564 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,880 Speaker 17: And this is really crucial because that would involve a 1565 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,480 Speaker 17: state that we don't often talk about, which is Nebraska. 1566 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 5: Forty eight out of. 1567 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,720 Speaker 17: The fifty states might a lot there electoral votes on 1568 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,559 Speaker 17: the basis of winner Texall, if. 1569 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 5: You win just one vote more than your. 1570 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 17: Rival in Pennsylvania, you get all of Pennsylvania's nineteen electoral 1571 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 17: college votes. There are two states that don't do that, 1572 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 17: Nebraska and Maine. Now, there is one congressional district in 1573 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 17: May in Nebraska, Omaha the second congressional district which went 1574 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 17: Democrat in twenty and twenty. And what the Republicans has 1575 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 17: been trying to do is change the rule so that 1576 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 17: Nebraska becomes a Winner's Texas state. It's a reliabie red 1577 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 17: state that would deliver all of its electoral college votes 1578 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 17: to Donald Trump. But there was an attempt last month 1579 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,920 Speaker 17: to change the rules, and one Republican decided the rules 1580 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,719 Speaker 17: should stay the same. And we talk about the blue dot. 1581 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 17: This this one electoral college vote in Nebraska that is 1582 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 17: based on a congressional district, and it looks like Kamala 1583 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,760 Speaker 17: Harrison will win Omaha, which is that congressional district, and 1584 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,639 Speaker 17: that could tilt her from two sixty nine to two seventy. 1585 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 5: Two seventy is a magic number you need to win. 1586 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 17: So we look at these seven states, but let's not 1587 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,840 Speaker 17: forget Nebraska as well, because if she won those three 1588 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,360 Speaker 17: Ross Belt states, right Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, that gets 1589 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,680 Speaker 17: her to two sixty nine. The thing that gets her 1590 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 17: over the top is that one blue dot in Nebraska. 1591 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,639 Speaker 5: Everything matters, Mike, in this final stage, does not. 1592 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 2: Just And I asked you last time we interviewed. I said, 1593 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,679 Speaker 2: last question, call it and you wouldn't. You couldn't any change. 1594 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 5: No, not at all. 1595 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 17: And I think anybody who tells you with any certainty 1596 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 17: who's going to win in this stage isn't worth listening to. 1597 01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 5: You know, we could have more October surprise. 1598 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 17: Frankly, I think the October surprise in the twenty twenty 1599 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,200 Speaker 17: four election came in twenty twenty three with the Hammers 1600 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 17: attack on Israel. I think the ramifications of that are 1601 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 17: still working through I think Benjamin Att Yahoo could end 1602 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,720 Speaker 17: up having quite an impact on this election, depending what 1603 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 17: happens in Iran. And it's not only the turmoil in 1604 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 17: the Middle East politically, it's the impact economically. 1605 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 5: You know, there's a spiking gas prices before the election. 1606 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 17: Again, that nostalgic feeling about the Trump economy comes into 1607 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 17: play again. You know, there are so many things that 1608 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 17: could impact this race between. 1609 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 5: Now and then. 1610 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 17: As I said, I've been saying this all year, Mike, 1611 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 17: it's just a few thousand votes in a few states 1612 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,799 Speaker 17: that'll decide this election. Who can get out their vote. 1613 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,000 Speaker 17: It's a squeaker. It's gonna be a photo finish. 1614 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,640 Speaker 2: Gonna have to get you on again talk So Mike, 1615 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,200 Speaker 2: appreciate it as all Waynick Brian out of Australia in 1616 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 2: the early hours and Australian Morning is Lad's book as 1617 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 2: The Forever War.

These are the numbers I promised you 1623 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 2: earlier on the camict yesterday from the Anti Defamation League 1624 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:11,560 Speaker 2: centerper extremesm ADL in America more than ten thousand incidents 1625 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 2: in this year, so, which is a two hundred percent increase. 1626 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 2: It's the highest ever level of anti Semitic activity they've 1627 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 2: seen since nineteen seventy nine, which is when they started 1628 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,680 Speaker 2: recording things. Eighty fifteen incidents of verbal or written harassment, 1629 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and forty incidents of vandalism, one hundred and 1630 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,200 Speaker 2: fifty incidents of physical assault. Not that I defend any 1631 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 2: this in any way, shape or form, but when you 1632 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 2: think of the size of America, and you think of 1633 01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 2: three hundred plus million Americans, one hundred and fifty incidents 1634 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:41,280 Speaker 2: of physical assault, isn't actually that many. California twelve hundred 1635 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,200 Speaker 2: and sixty six, New York twelve hundred and eighteen, New 1636 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 2: Jersey eight hundred and thirty, Florida four hundred and sixty three, 1637 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 2: as farmers Air, as far as anti Muslim incidents are concerned, 1638 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 2: eight thousand and sixty one. So there is more anti 1639 01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 2: Semitism than there is Islamophobia. And I referenced with Nick 1640 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 2: a couple of moments ago this thing called the Breakthrough, 1641 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: which is a polling project that tracks how the public 1642 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 2: is following the election news, and there's a new trend developing. 1643 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 2: The word liar is used increasingly often with both of them. 1644 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:15,479 Speaker 2: Obviously Trump you wouldn't be surprised about, but Harris is 1645 01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 2: increasingly seen as a liar. But the other trend I 1646 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 2: will tell you about in a couple of moments, which 1647 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 2: is equally fascinating, and it doesn't bode well for her. 1648 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 2: We need to go to the UK. Sue Grave's the 1649 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 2: talking point, the big one hundred day reset for the 1650 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 2: Labor Party that has found themselves in no end of trouble. 1651 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 2: Will get the detail from darfter the news, which is next. 1652 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 2: You're a newstalg zed B. 1653 01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: Setting the news agenda and digging into the issues.

Graham Norton is going to be 1658 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 2: touring the country for the very first time, and Evening 1659 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 2: with Graham Norton is what he's decided to call it, 1660 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,840 Speaker 2: which is wise because it's sort of as what he does. 1661 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 2: It'll be in the Evening with Graham Norton. So we're 1662 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 2: talking March next year into April in fact, and so 1663 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,639 Speaker 2: interestingly that'll be good for Christmas.

Now do explain this to me, 1677 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 2: Sue Gray Earns one hundred and seventy thousand pounds and 1678 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,479 Speaker 2: Key Starmer Earns one hundred and sixty six. Now in 1679 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 2: this country we have the same scenario. There are plenty 1680 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 2: of public servants who earn more than politicians. We don't 1681 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 2: seem to make that bigger deal about it. Why is 1682 01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 2: it a big deal for you guys? 1683 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 13: It never used to be a big deal. I mean, 1684 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 13: it's been this kind of corrosive thing over the last 1685 01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,439 Speaker 13: twenty to thirty years that anybody who earns more than 1686 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 13: the Prime minister is earning too much. That's a matter 1687 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,680 Speaker 13: of fact. That's true if you're on the left and 1688 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:23,120 Speaker 13: you're looking at kind of the bosses of corporations, and 1689 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 13: it's true if you're on the right and you're looking 1690 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 13: at council chiefs, because the majority of council chiefs across 1691 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,719 Speaker 13: the country will earn more than the Prime minister does. 1692 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 13: And Sue Gray, as you know, a senior civil servant, 1693 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,360 Speaker 13: earned more than the Prime minister. It just happens to 1694 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 13: be the case that, you know, in the case of 1695 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 13: Sue Gray, she was overpaid by roughly amount of the 1696 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,800 Speaker 13: amount of money which she received in most people's opinions, 1697 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 13: but it's always been the case made and it's stupid, 1698 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,719 Speaker 13: you know, I mean, because it's one of the things 1699 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 13: we should talk about and perhaps are barred from doing so, 1700 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 13: and no politician will raise it. It's that both our 1701 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:13,800 Speaker 13: MPs and indeed our Prime minister don't get enough money No, 1702 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 13: it really is as simple as that exactly. 1703 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,640 Speaker 2: See, our prime minister gets four hundred and eighty one 1704 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, which in your money is two forty so 1705 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 2: way more, yeah, than the Prime Minister of Great Britain. 1706 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 2: Mind you, our prime minister doesn't accept glasses and free suits, 1707 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 2: so it's sort of all balances up, doesn't it. 1708 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 13: Well, I suppose you might say that, But then by 1709 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 13: the same tone of your prime minister is also the 1710 01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:40,920 Speaker 13: prime minister of a small hermit state tucked away at 1711 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 13: the end near the it is. It seems to me 1712 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 13: an absurdity that the prime Minister of this country doesn't 1713 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 13: get somewhere in the original three to four hundred thousand pounds, 1714 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,520 Speaker 13: you know, it seems to be an absurdity. 1715 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,640 Speaker 2: So Gray's new job as the Overseer of Nations or 1716 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,880 Speaker 2: whatever the hell they call it? What what is there? 1717 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,599 Speaker 13: It isn't anything. She doesn't have a job. She's been 1718 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 13: shuffled off, and I one could see her being shuffled 1719 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,440 Speaker 13: off a year ago when she was first appointed. She's obviously, 1720 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,120 Speaker 13: of course, a lot of dissension, or been the occasion 1721 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 13: of a lot of dissension within Downing Street and within 1722 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:27,839 Speaker 13: the people who who who have been working for Kierstar's campaign. 1723 01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 13: She's very simple minded, she's dogmatic. I think the phrase 1724 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 13: which is usually used is doesn't suffer fools gladly, which 1725 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 13: means she's a rude cow. I think it's the way 1726 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:48,320 Speaker 13: one has to translate these civil service epists. But it's 1727 01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 13: also true that much as with Alistair Campbell, she had 1728 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 13: to become the story. And it's not just that, because 1729 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 13: this is quite a remarkable decision. If you look at 1730 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:03,639 Speaker 13: Kierstar over the last six to eight months, whether since 1731 01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,439 Speaker 13: becoming Prime Minister or even before then, he hasn't sacked people. 1732 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,000 Speaker 13: There have been calls for him to sack people and 1733 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 13: he's never done it. But clearly the howl round within 1734 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,599 Speaker 13: his own camp rather than in the press at large, 1735 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 13: had become so grave that he could do nothing other 1736 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,680 Speaker 13: than that. And so we have a new chief of 1737 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:29,799 Speaker 13: staff now, who is Morgan McSweeney or boating mcboat faces. 1738 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 13: He's almost certainly going to become known. And who's an 1739 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 13: Irish guy who's been working with Starma for a long time. 1740 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 2: Right, So I'm watching Lord O'Donnell, who was the former 1741 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,559 Speaker 2: Cabinet secretary, and you're looking for a cabinet secretary at 1742 01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 2: the Minment and that's a couple hundred thousand pounds a 1743 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 2: year Ken, and he's arguing you should get paid more 1744 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 2: because he, subsequent to being the Cabinet's secretary, has been 1745 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 2: he says, paid a lot more to do a lot less. 1746 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 2: Do you not run the risk if you don't pay 1747 01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 2: people properly that the only reason they're really there is 1748 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 2: for the power or the authority or the ego, and 1749 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 2: not actually for the money, because half decent people can 1750 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,160 Speaker 2: earn decent money elsewhere. 1751 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,639 Speaker 13: Of course you do. And it's not just that, mate. 1752 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 13: I mean forgive me for defending Starmer for a moment, 1753 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 13: but you know, if you are supposedly the most powerful 1754 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 13: man in the country but you're being paid at the 1755 01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:28,040 Speaker 13: level of the manager of Driffield City Council, you know 1756 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 13: then you are prone to the kindnesses of aids who 1757 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 13: offer you a million pound apartment or an eighteen million 1758 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 13: pound department and buy some clothes for your poor wife. 1759 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 5: You know. 1760 01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 13: The fact that we pay our elected politicians so little 1761 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:55,439 Speaker 13: comparatively is that it means that they are at risk 1762 01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:00,799 Speaker 13: always of this kind of accusation and that they're taking 1763 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 13: money on the free and yet if you try to 1764 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 13: suggest that the money should be raised, you know you 1765 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 13: will hear it on Question Time on the BBC. I've 1766 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 13: said before on Question Time the MP should get more 1767 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 13: and there will always be a Nursey says I. 1768 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 18: Get thirty four thousand pounds a year. You have to 1769 01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 18: try to explain to them, yes, well okay, and I'm 1770 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,599 Speaker 18: sure you do a great job, but this is the 1771 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,120 Speaker 18: Prime minister, you know, this is an important job. 1772 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 2: I had a poll out this morning. I had a 1773 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 2: poll out this morning on Starmer who's knit favorability, and 1774 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 2: favorability is now sitting at minus thirty five and this 1775 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 2: resets on and they're looking at the non don text 1776 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 2: and the equity texts and the private pensiontech. How have 1777 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 2: things gone so wrong so fast? 1778 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 13: Because he's not very good. I think it's the first 1779 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 13: thing to say. I mean, I think that does have 1780 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 13: to be said that there never seem to be any 1781 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 13: driving force behind Starma other than the desire to win. 1782 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 13: And he won on a very shallow basis. You know, 1783 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:08,160 Speaker 13: he didn't carry within the sorts of people which Teddy 1784 01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:11,639 Speaker 13: Blair carried with him in ninety seven and still far 1785 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 13: less that Margaret Thatcher carried with her in seventy nine, 1786 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:19,839 Speaker 13: even though it's a comparable landslide. He is not very adept, 1787 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 13: He is not very agile politically. There is no great 1788 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,960 Speaker 13: imagination about how to make this country better, which is 1789 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 13: what we all rather hoped for. There are people within 1790 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:36,560 Speaker 13: his shadow go or within his cabinet who suggest a 1791 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 13: degree of imagination, such as we're streeting, for example. But 1792 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:49,280 Speaker 13: nonetheless this is a grey managerial, boring labor regime and 1793 01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 13: people don't like it. 1794 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 2: Always a pleasure. Might we'll catch up on Thursday. Rod 1795 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 2: Little out of Britain this morning. I wonder if there's 1796 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 2: a ca See we had this discussion in this country, 1797 01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 2: didn't we with the Adoon government. They weren't really They 1798 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,680 Speaker 2: set there for no years, allegedly getting prepped up. When 1799 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,160 Speaker 2: they arrived, they didn't know what they were doing, so 1800 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: it was endless working groups. We've seen the same with 1801 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 2: Albanisi in Australia. Small honeymoon, but now a disaster starmer 1802 01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 2: hasn't even lasted one hundred days. I wonder if there's 1803 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,120 Speaker 2: a connection. Eight forty five. 1804 01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:19,120 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1805 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:20,720 Speaker 1: by news talks that be so. 1806 01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 2: To this the breakthrough. So this is a polling project 1807 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 2: in the States as regards the American election, and the 1808 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 2: big trend is that there are more and more Americans 1809 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 2: who are not hearing what Harris says. So I mentioned 1810 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 2: before the news the word lie. They're increasingly associating the 1811 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 2: word lie with Harris. Obviously they've associated it with Trump 1812 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,759 Speaker 2: for a sustained period of time. The fourth most mentioned 1813 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:47,080 Speaker 2: word after border, polls and campaign they worry about her 1814 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 2: saying nothing issues like immigration and the economy later started 1815 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,280 Speaker 2: makes a notable or marx and noticeable shift in responses 1816 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,160 Speaker 2: about Harris herself on those issues. Most mentions for immigration 1817 01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 2: related words in relation to her campaign since she entered 1818 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 2: the race in late July. Now, she doesn't want the 1819 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 2: attention drawn to things like immigration and the economy. As 1820 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 2: Nick was trying to point out earlier on what they 1821 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 2: were hoping to talk about was abortion, the female vote 1822 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 2: and abortion, Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court, the Trump appointments. 1823 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 2: That was their campaign because they don't have a lot 1824 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 2: to say on the economy, which is a weird thing 1825 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:22,680 Speaker 2: because the economy, if you look at the FED and 1826 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 2: follow the FED seem to have managed, unlike US, a 1827 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 2: soft landing, So if you look at the paperwork, it 1828 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 2: looks reasonably good and the job numbers the other day. 1829 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 2: There's nothing really to moan about in terms of the 1830 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,120 Speaker 2: American economy, all things being equal, But they don't want 1831 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,800 Speaker 2: to talk about the economy, and they certainly don't want 1832 01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:40,559 Speaker 2: to talk about immigration because they're week on that. They 1833 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 2: want to talk about abortion. So people are seeing her 1834 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 2: or marking her down increasingly. But on Trump's side of 1835 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:50,360 Speaker 2: the equation, the assassination attempts remained prominent. As far as 1836 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,000 Speaker 2: what people are hearing about Trump or thinking about Trump, 1837 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,280 Speaker 2: immigrations faded a little bit. His meeting with Zelensky last 1838 01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,800 Speaker 2: week is in play. Still at the moment, a lot 1839 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:05,519 Speaker 2: of people think he's a liar. Sixty four percent reported seeing, reading, 1840 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 2: or hearing something about Harris in the past week. Now 1841 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 2: that's significant because the week before it was sixty eight, 1842 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,680 Speaker 2: So it's gone from sixty eight to sixty four. So 1843 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,680 Speaker 2: the main point being the trend developing is fewer and 1844 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 2: fewer people are following what's going on. In other words, 1845 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,880 Speaker 2: the inferences they've made up their mind. They're not following 1846 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,799 Speaker 2: the story, So a fourth week in which more people 1847 01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 2: reported hearing about Trump more than they heard or reported 1848 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,719 Speaker 2: hearing about Harris, and that if you're in a campaign 1849 01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 2: for your life, is the last bit of information you 1850 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,759 Speaker 2: want to hear interesting A nine away from nine. 1851 01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:45,960 Speaker 1: The mic Costing Breakfast with the Jaguar Mbase News Talks dB. 1852 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 2: Jane Reddy's office has been in touch as regards our 1853 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,679 Speaker 2: interview this morning with the Prime Minister. And my big 1854 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,679 Speaker 2: thing about the Dunedin Hospital, having been born in Dunedin 1855 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:59,439 Speaker 2: and therefore born in the hospital, is that there's nothing 1856 01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,640 Speaker 2: wrong with Look, we can't afford this and this is 1857 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,200 Speaker 2: just life. But we didn't get the three billion dollar figure, 1858 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 2: and so the Prime Minister partially explained it. But this 1859 01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 2: has come from and this was the great argument that 1860 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 2: seems to be two arguments at the moment. One is 1861 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,680 Speaker 2: it's not fair, it's not right. Wow, And I've got 1862 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,759 Speaker 2: no time for that. The cold hard reality is sadly 1863 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,559 Speaker 2: we don't have any money in this country and everything 1864 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 2: we do costs more than we thought it would and 1865 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,120 Speaker 2: the cost is already blowing out, and so the three 1866 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 2: billion dollar hospital is ridiculous and I would like to 1867 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 2: think most people would accept that if, however reluctantly. But 1868 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 2: we hadn't actually seen where they got the three billion from. 1869 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 2: So total appropriation one point eight recent cost estimates several 1870 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars over that approximation, plus we got four 1871 01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 2: hundred million for pathology, the lab of the car parking, 1872 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 2: the refuge, decommissioning of buildings all up, that's coming in 1873 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 2: at three billion dollars, and Shane Retti's office says there 1874 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 2: is more to come, so that's not over yet. So 1875 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 2: I'd like to think that if they can show that 1876 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 2: the number is three, it's unrealistic, it's not acceptable. We'll 1877 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,640 Speaker 2: build at one, eight, one, nine, and the ego that 1878 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,800 Speaker 2: is your hospital, and you don't want to. I'm sure 1879 01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 2: even the people of Dunedin would argue that at three 1880 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 2: you don't want to take facilities and costings and projects 1881 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 2: and infrastructure away from other people because you say, noe, 1882 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,720 Speaker 2: three it is, and we want what we want and 1883 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 2: never the twain shall meet. So at least we got 1884 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,640 Speaker 2: a little bit more clarity on the numbers. At the 1885 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,360 Speaker 2: end of the day, five away from nine. 1886 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: Trending now with Chemist Warehouse, the home of big brand ftamens. 1887 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:29,639 Speaker 5: Right. 1888 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 2: So we've got ourselves a new hit song and this 1889 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 2: is by a guy called John karn canonell smiling through 1890 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 2: the taste blood, and it's called Fighter, Got Brosy and 1891 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,479 Speaker 2: Broken Bone.
