We'll 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: explain that shortly. Trump is talking to Mertz in the 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 2: White House. She on the phone and about Elon Musk. 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: We've got audio for you. Apparently Elon Musk has just 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: come out and said Trump would have lost the election 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: if it went for him.

Trump signed a 20 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: travel band for citizens from twelve countries. We don't want them. 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: In the twenty first century, we've seen one terror attack 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: after another carried out by foreign visa overstairs from dangerous 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 3: places all over the world, and thanks to Biden's open 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: door policies, today there are millions and millions of these 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: illegals who should not be in our country. 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: The countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Saddan and Yemen. Meanwhile, Mertsis 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: is the German townsla He's been sitting down with Trump 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: them the Oval Office. We owe the Americans a lot. 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 4: We will never forget about that, and so with your 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 4: German provenance, I think this is a very good basis 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: for close cooperation between American and Germany. Will publicly with 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: a trade deal or or we'll do something. You know, 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: we'll do the tariffs. I mean, I'm okay with the tariffs, 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: or we make a deal with the trade. 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: Either way, Germany needs a lifeline. The ECB cut their 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: rates over nine. I'll get to that in a second. 37 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: Here in New Zealand, Tapati Maldi.

Not nice to hear. Welcome 49 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: to your Friday. First, we'll just play a little bit 50 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: from because we haven't heard from Donald Trump in a week. 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: He hasn't had a press conference, which is most unlike him. 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: Normally there are a daily occurrence. But he's met with 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: Mertz in the White House, and I was obviously asked 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: about Elon Musk and the bromance. And as the romance over, 55 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: here's what he had to say. 56 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: better than almost anybody, and he never had a problem 58 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: until right after he left. And if you saw the 59 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: statements you made about me, which I'm sure you can 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: get very so it's very fresh on tape, he said 61 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn't said 62 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 4: bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. 63 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: But I'm very disappointed in Elin. 64 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I've helped Ilan a lot. 65 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 2: So Elin must just tweet it apparently, whatever to Trump's comments, 66 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter it does it. It's just interesting 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: because they're both really rich and really powerful, and this 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: was always going to happen. Just gone nine minutes after five, 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: So Japan has recorded its lowest number of births in 70 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: more than a century. They've had problems with population for 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: a long time now, been well documented. But Berth's six 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty six twenty twenty four. That's a five 73 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: point seven percent drop on the previous year, the lowest 74 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: since they started keeping records in eighteen ninety nine. So 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: the problem is not going away, and they've been trying 76 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: to boost the population, encouraging families to have children. They 77 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: have fewer marriages, which is obviously a problem, but the 78 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: biggest problem is just it cost too much. The fatilla 79 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: he rate one point one five that's down from one 80 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: point two in twenty twenty three, and the number that 81 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: they need to replace themselves is two point one, so 82 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: they're way off it. Fewer marriages. I was talking to 83 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: Paul Spoonley the other day, and you know, the population 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: expert in New Zealand. He said, there are more this 85 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: is in New Zealand. More women over forty now giving 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: birth than women under twenty. Isn't that fascinating how quickly 87 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: that has turned around. He also said that thirty percent 88 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: of women are choosing not to have children at all, 89 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: like they will never be mothers, which has gone up 90 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: dramatically over the years. The main reason is it's more expensive. 91 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: Friend of mine has got two kids, and I was 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: talking to her at the weekend about this and she said, 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: a third What did she say, baby number three or 94 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: the third child is the new Burken, you know those 95 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: expensive handbags that that wealthy people buy. The third baby 96 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: is the new Berken because they're just so damn expensive. 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's why no one is having them anymore. 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: Eleven minutes after five news talks there b we're going 99 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: to get to I've got some Adrian Rudafi clips to 100 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: play from Parliament because he was the most sensible one. 101 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: We'll get to those this morning. But coming up next 102 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: it's that new research on the vape juice. If you've 103 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: got kids who vape, you'll want to hear what's in it. 104 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 105 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Bridge and One Roof Make your Property Search simple News TALKSB. 106 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: Five point thirteen on News Talks THEB we'll never keep 107 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: up with the NATO allies when it comes to spending 108 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: on defense. They are apparently close to agreeing. This is 109 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: according to Pete Higgseth, the Defense sectree in the US 110 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 2: close to agreeing to five percent of GDP in the 111 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: next decade on defense. We just got to two. So 112 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: we're always going to be playing catch up, aren't we. 113 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: Not that we're a member of NATO, we're just a 114 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: partner in the in this region. But geez, we were 115 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 2: already behind, and we're about to be much more behind 116 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: than we were before. Fourteen after five. So you studied 117 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: in the medical journals found more than half of vape 118 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: juices have been labeled with the wrong concentration of nicotine, 119 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: but not in the way that you would think. It's 120 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: with less nicotine than advertised, not more. They reckon this 121 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: is a bad thing because it could mean that vapors 122 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: vape more often or even revert to smoking. Cheryl Robinson 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: is co founder of Vape Free Kids with Me this morning. 124 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: Hey Cheryl, good morning, Ryan. Good to have you on 125 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: the show. I thought this was surprising because you would 126 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: think that they would load it with more nicotine so 127 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: that you are more addicted. 128 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 6: Well, I think they've probably got a lot of money 129 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 6: to find out what works better to addict people. It's 130 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 6: no surprise or no secret that we don't trust a 131 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 6: lot of what this industry get up to. But it's 132 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 6: very worrying to think that. 133 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 7: There are regularities on the labeling of their products and 134 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 7: what is actually cont painting them, whether that's nicotine level 135 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 7: or other chemicals that aren't stated, it's it's it's worrying. 136 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: Do you think they're doing it on purpose? Do you 137 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: think that they're purposely undercooking what the nicotine level is 138 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: so that people will do it more often, therefore buy 139 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: more product and also you know, get more addicted. 140 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 6: Well, I'm no expert on how the intricacies of how 141 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 6: nicotine levels impact a person's addiction level, but what I 142 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 6: have learned over the last few years that this industry 143 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 6: don't do anything by accident. Everything they do is very intentional. 144 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 6: And you know, we've we've we're neutral when it comes 145 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 6: to adults of aaping, and it's it's hard. If this 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 6: has been touted as a quit smoking tool, it makes 147 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 6: it a bit difficult for those who are using it 148 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 6: as such to be able to monitor the take their 149 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 6: nicotine intake and use it effectively as a quick smoking 150 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 6: toll if they can't be confident there what it sees 151 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 6: on the package is what they're actually getting. It's quite 152 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 6: a precise, a precise thing to try and do to 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 6: monitor your intake to give up an addiction. And even 154 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 6: more worryingly for us as children are, our main concern 155 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 6: here is there is no funded support for quitting vaping 156 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 6: for use, and so there's families out there going it alone. 157 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 6: And that's hard enough without not being able to have 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 6: confidence on how much NICOTINEA is in the product that 159 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 6: you're using to try and wean your child off. 160 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, because normally you kind of need to know what 161 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: your dose is before you can start to tape your 162 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: way off it. And if you don't know what your 163 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: doses and that becomes very difficult.

The ECB has 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: cut interest rates. This is the eighth time that they've 176 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: done it in a year. They've cut their rates to 177 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: two percent. The problem is growth. It's partly to do 178 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: with the Trump's trade war. But France, Germany and Italy 179 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: are all week. Germany is your big boy in Europe, 180 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: the biggest economy and only G seven economy that didn't 181 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: grow over the last two years. Germany insolvencies. They are 182 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: expected to increase eleven percent this year. They had numbers 183 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: out this week. So the ECB rate now half that 184 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: of the UK and half that of the more than 185 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: half that of the US. Trying to give it a 186 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: bit of a tickle up, really the Eurozone because they 187 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: could use it and they're worried about what's happening with Trump. 188 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: Mertz has been obviously trying to do his part in 189 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: a meeting with Trump at the Oval Office this morning, 190 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: just gone twenty alf to five Ran. Yeah, it's the 191 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: Super Rugby quarter finals this weekend, starting with the Crusaders 192 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: and Reds. Tonight the Hurricanes are in Canberra taking on 193 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 2: the Brumbies and then we have a repeat of the 194 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: nail Biden match last year from the Blues and the 195 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs on Saturday. Rugby commentator Tony Johnson with me this morning. 196 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 2: Hey Tony, morning, Ryan. Good to have you on the 197 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: show as always. First of all, the you know this 198 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: lucky loser, the new format. Why are we doing this? 199 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's not really quarterfinals this year they called 200 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 8: qualifying finals. They had to cut it back. They couldn't 201 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 8: have eighteens in last year because eight, remember we've only 202 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 8: got eleven teams this year, that would have been ridiculous, 203 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 8: so they've gone for six. I don't think they've got 204 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 8: it quite right, but it's probably better to have six 205 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 8: and you have a lucky loser, which means the highest 206 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 8: ranked of the team's beaten this weekend gets to fight again. 207 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 8: And of course if that's the Chiefs that qualifiers, they'd 208 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 8: still get a home semi final next week. So look, 209 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 8: as I say, I don't think it's a flawless way 210 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 8: of doing it, but it's a step in the right direction. 211 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 8: I'm sure they'll probably refine it for next year. 212 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: All right, who are your favorites this weekend? Tony? 213 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 8: Okay? Well, first of all, the two New Zealand teams 214 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 8: playing at home. Chiefs they play the Blues. Now it's 215 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 8: a rerun of last year's final in which the Blues 216 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 8: absolutely crushed the Chiefs, so they'll be up for revenge. 217 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 8: They are in a better place to do it this 218 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 8: year probably. Blues have struggled a bit, but they played 219 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 8: their best game of the season last year against last 220 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 8: week against the Warritas. Chiefs all the way through have 221 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 8: looked the team to beat. So that's tomorrow night in Hamilton, 222 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 8: a big one tonight. Crusaders they take on the Reds. 223 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 8: The problem with the Reds is that they've got the 224 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 8: way to history against them. Nineteen times Australian teams have 225 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 8: come to New Zealand over the thirty years of Super Rugby. 226 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 8: They've played nineteen playoff games in New Zealand and haven't 227 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 8: won one of them. And the Crusaders get Will Jordan 228 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 8: Fletcher new All back for that one. And then there's 229 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 8: the game between the Brumbies and the Hurricanes, and that's 230 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 8: the tough one. The Hurricans have to try and win 231 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 8: in Canberra, where the Brumbies don't lose many unfortunately for them. 232 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 8: After last week a very controversial game, the Brumbies were 233 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 8: beaten by the Crusaders, a refereeing decision that's got everyone 234 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 8: up at arms, and so the crowd, which can be 235 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 8: pretty fair at times, they're going to be riding all 236 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 8: over the referee from start to finish. And of course 237 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 8: the Hurricans, they have been an outstanding form. I think 238 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 8: they are a chance to win it, but it won't 239 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 8: be easy. So I think three pretty juicy looking games 240 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 8: we've got lined up this weekend. 241 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, not a bad way to go. Not a bad 242 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: weekend the head and who do you think is going 243 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: to take out the whole competition? Can you make a 244 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: call yet? The Chiefs? You said the Chiefs are looking 245 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: pretty to have been all season. 246 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd still have them as slight favorites. But the 247 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 8: thing about this Super rugby this year, Ryan has just 248 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 8: been so unpredictable. Teams have really found it difficult to 249 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 8: win more than three or four games in a row, 250 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 8: and there've been a lot of upsets, and so I 251 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 8: don't think you can put anything down for certain. I 252 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 8: wouldn't be telling anyone to put any money anywhere at 253 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 8: the moment because there's always room for an upset. But 254 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 8: I still I do think the Chiefs, particularly if they 255 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 8: can maintain home advantage, then I think they are definitely 256 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 8: the team to beat, and I'd probably favor a Chiefs 257 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 8: Crusader's Final, but you know that depends on the Hurricanes 258 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 8: because they have been an outstanding form. They've been so 259 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 8: good to watch. They've been playing a dynamic brand of rugby. 260 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 8: If they can upset that the Brundies tomorrow night, then 261 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 8: that carries that on there. Any trouble is is that 262 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 8: the way the thing's been done with Thug If that's 263 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 8: the lucky loser game, you'll get to that game and 264 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 8: it won't matter who wins or who loses, which is 265 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 8: a bit of a shame, as I say, I think 266 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 8: they've got that wrong. But now I'm still at the 267 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 8: stage leaning towards the Chief Crusader's Final. Chief slight favorites, 268 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 8: but I think anything can happen from this point and 269 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 8: that's the beauty of it. 270 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: Tony, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks as always, Tony Johnson, 271 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 2: Rugby commentator. It is twenty four minutes after five. Ye're 272 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: on News Talks VB. Don Brash on the show just 273 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: before six this morning, and you might be thinking, why 274 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: Don Brack. He has co signed a letter. You know, 275 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: every now and then him and Halen Clark will come 276 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: together and sign a letter and put it in the newspaper. 277 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: They've done that again. And this is about, you know, 278 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: we're getting too close to America at the expense of 279 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: our relationship with China, our trading relationship with China. So 280 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: he's on the show just before six this morning to 281 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: explain why. 282 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio power 283 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: by News Talks IBB. 284 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: Five twenty seven News Talks VB. Well, that was as 285 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: chaotic as you would expect. I caught the first half 286 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: of Parliament's debate on hucker Gate yesterday afternoon. Winston Peters 287 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: went full attack dog, Willie Jackson fought back White had 288 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: he brought a noose into the chamber as a prop 289 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: and Adrian Udhafi, the former speaker Labor MP. He had 290 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: the most sensible and respectable take of the debate. I thought. 291 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: I've had the pleasure of meeting interviewing him a couple 292 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: of times over the years. He's a really humble guy, quiet, 293 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: quite observant. He'll just sit back and watch and you know, 294 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: quick to a smile. Loves a good argument. Not that 295 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: you could hear that in the house yesterday, loads of interjecting, 296 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: lots of noise, and Adrian gets respect because he shushed, 297 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: and I like it when people do this. He shushed 298 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: his own side, his own colleagues, as much as he 299 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: did the Treasury benches when he was speaking. And he 300 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: made two decent points. First, the Privileges Committee is meant 301 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: to be bipartisan. The fact that this punishment was was 302 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: handed out and it was so severe, he's kind of 303 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: a moot point. It's the fact that it wasn't a 304 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: bipartisan decision because now it's open season for governments of 305 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: any persuasion to weaponize the punishments, potentially weaponize the punishments 306 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: in future against their political opponents. As he points out, 307 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: this was the government punishing MPs, not the Parliament, which 308 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: it ought to be and heroinized the problem with parliament 309 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: as a whole these days, there's no agreed standard of 310 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: behavior that's universal to all MPs. Getting physically up in 311 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: somebody's grill is considered okay by some. Now the House 312 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 2: is meant to be about what comes out of your mouth, 313 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: not how close to another MP it is. Number two 314 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: Dudafi scolded the Marti Party for not apologizing for their 315 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,239 Speaker 2: bad behavior. He spoke of his cousin, Dame Tadi Annatutia. 316 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: She never skipped a vote, worked hard for her people 317 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: and spoke on every bill before the House. The question 318 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: really is whether Tapatimarti actually wants to be in Parliament 319 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: or whether they want a separate one, which they state 320 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: they do on their website, and that begs the question 321 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: why are they there in the first place.

Ryan, I like what Adrian rud Affi said. 340 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: This is at the debate of Parliament yesterday over the 341 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 2: Privileges Committee, but also what Karen Shaw had to say 342 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: about these suspended members. That's from Terry Ryan. I agree 343 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: with your comments about Adrian rud Afi. This is the 344 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: former speaker.

Here's a little bit 346 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: of what, by the way, Adrian had to say. He 347 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: basically said to the two Party Maltor, you should apologize 348 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: for what you've done. 349 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 5: I also implore to Party Mary to actually think about 350 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 5: what the honorable Willie Jackson has suggested. It's not for 351 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 5: me to tell colleagues to apologize, but, as he said, 352 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 5: it might go a long way. I'm going to say 353 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 5: this because I knew her better probably than anyone in 354 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 5: this house.

You can't change 358 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 5: it from not turning up for a vote in the House. 359 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 5: That ain't going to change anything. 360 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: Twenty two to six. Steve says Ryan, the racist Marty 361 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 2: seats should be abolished altogether.

Now over in the Oval Office, we've had 495 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: Mertz meeting with Trump. Did anything come of the meeting? Yes. 496 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 14: Fredrick Martz, the new Chancellor of a Germany, made that 497 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 14: path that some leaders have fallen down on to the 498 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 14: Oval Office in recent months. It seems to have gone 499 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 14: off the public side pretty much without a hitch. He 500 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 14: presented Donald Trump with a gift, which was his German 501 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 14: grandfather's original birth certificate, which seemed to go down quite 502 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 14: well with the President. When it came to their meeting, 503 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 14: I mean, we were told that he had sort of 504 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 14: gained out scenarios. He would have likely have talked to 505 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 14: Mark Carney and Kirs Starmer, the Canadian and British prime 506 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 14: ministers who had successful visits, not so much the South 507 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 14: African president and of course Vladimir Zelenski The questions, though, 508 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 14: seem to have highlighted some of the rift, particularly when 509 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 14: it comes to Ukraine. Germany a big support of Ukraine. 510 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 14: It's thought with some strategic ambiguity. At the moment, they 511 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 14: won't confirm this that Germany has given permission to Ukraine 512 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 14: to use long range missiles that they're provising to strike 513 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 14: further into Russia. But Donald Trump is essentially saying, you know, 514 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 14: he's compared in this meeting to two children fighting in 515 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 14: a park. He had a two hour long conversation with 516 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 14: Vladimir Putin and he said, you've got to let them 517 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 14: fight for a while, and he thinks he knows when 518 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 14: will be the right moment to step in, but won't 519 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 14: say what that is. So they're now meeting behind closed doors. 520 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 14: Of course, Germany trying to get a deal like the 521 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 14: UK has to get out of these tariffs. Their manufacturing 522 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 14: industry hit very hard. But they are just part of 523 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 14: the EU when it comes to that, so they're part 524 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 14: of a kind of multi pronged approach. 525 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: Interesting. Vincent will have to leave it there. That's Vincent 526 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: Macavi any O UK Europe correspond twelve minutes away from 527 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 2: six Ryan Bridge. Also the Conservative Party just interestingly basically 528 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: disavowing themselves of Liz Truss after you know, her mini 529 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: budget that nearly crashed the UK economy. They've basically turned 530 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: around and said, yeah, that was a really bad and 531 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: damaging thing for the party, and I don't think we've 532 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 2: quite recovered. She, by the way, is hawking whiskey in 533 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: Europe somewhere, so she's busy doing something. Our twelve away 534 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: from six now pressure this morning on the Prime Minister 535 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 2: to separate New Zealand's foreign policy from that of Americas. 536 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: A cross party coalition of prominent leaders have signed an 537 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: open Leader urging the Prime Minister to not take an 538 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: adversarial stance towards China. List of figures include Helen Clark's 539 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Palmers to David Carter and Don Brash, former National 540 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 2: Party leader of course and Reserve Bank governor. Who's with 541 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: me this morning, Don, Good morning, good morning, right, Good 542 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: to have you on the program. So this is a 543 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: position I know you've had for a while, but what 544 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: exactly is the government doing to get what are we 545 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: doing to get too close to America and further from China. 546 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 8: Well, a number of things that have been done in 547 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 8: the last twelve eighty months. I guess the most obvious thing. 548 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 8: We sailed one of our naval ships through the Taiwan 549 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 8: Straits straight. We've long regarded Taiwan as part of China. 550 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 8: Sailing naval ships through that strait is very offensive to China. 551 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 8: And we know that. We've recently signed a special kind 552 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 8: of military relationship with the Philippines despite the fact they 553 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 8: are in a low level confrontation with China. We've done 554 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 8: all kinds of We sent two delegations to Taiwan, led 555 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 8: by National Party mpsing that that offends China, and they've 556 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 8: met with the President of China of Taiwan. I mean, 557 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 8: we go out of our way to offend China. Judith Coluins, 558 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 8: Minister of Defense, has made a number of speeches in 559 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 8: which you clearly implied that China was a military threat 560 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 8: to New Zealand and we should allow ourselves with the 561 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 8: United States to prevent that. 562 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: Now, are they not, I mean, you know, of. 563 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 8: Course they're not. I mean, in what sense are they 564 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 8: a threat to New Zealand with no sense that. 565 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: When push comes to shove and one day when they 566 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: either quarantine or blockade Taiwan, what do we do who signed? 567 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: You know, what side do we take now? 568 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 8: It's not of our business. We regard Taiwan as part 569 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 8: of China and we were out of that since nineteen 570 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 8: seventy two. It's not our business at all. You know. 571 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 8: The United States if they want a military confrontation with China, 572 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 8: so be it. I hope they don't have such a confrontation. 573 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 8: It's not good for either country. We want to attain 574 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 8: a good relationship with both the United States and China, 575 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 8: but we can't do that if the United States is 576 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 8: held bent on a military confrontation with China. 577 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: What about Aucust. You've obviously got concerns about August. What 578 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: exactly are they? 579 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 8: What August is as it stands in its pure form, 580 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 8: a nuclear submarine deal, where by Australia will require nuclear 581 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 8: subs from the United States at enormous costs some three 582 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 8: hundred and seventy billion Australian dollars. Most experts say Australia 583 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 8: will never actually get those submarines for a variety of 584 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 8: technical reasons they won't boy you with. But it's deliberately 585 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 8: and explicitly an anti China military relationship. Well, if Australia 586 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 8: wants to do that. That's Australia is fair, but it 587 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 8: should not be ours. 588 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: What about that we've just yesterday a lot of our 589 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 2: troops have gone on Canterbury off to a military exercise 590 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: with the US and with the Australians those drills rile China. 591 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 2: Do you think we should be not engaging with their minor? 592 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 8: Absolutely not. Why would we do that? 593 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: Well, we need to have otherwise they're doing nothing. You know, 594 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: what would the what would the trucks be doing what? 595 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 8: I don't know what they'd be doing, but in any case, 596 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 8: what why take better on exercise which is explicitly aimed 597 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 8: against China, which is literally not thritning US. It's our 598 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 8: largest export market by a country mile. I mean, it's 599 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 8: it's daft in every dimension. 600 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,479 Speaker 2: Don I appreciate you coming on the program.
