Speaker 1: global exposure.

00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Like no other whither. Have you got an update on

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: the Gang funeral? Actually got an interesting thing to tell

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: you about the Gang funeral.

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: Didn't realize.

7
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: But my maid is the guy who my mate Fats

8
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: has died, and I'll tell you about that. He's the

9
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: guy the tongue he is for with us. Right now

10
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: on the huddle, we've got Tris Shurson Shirson, Willis pr

11
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: and Joe Spagani Child Fund CEO. Hello you two.

12
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello Josie.

13
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: What's your vibe on the US election? We had Jack

14
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: on before this is Jack Tame. I asked him who's

15
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: going to win? Jess, it was like pulling teeth. He

16
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: didn't want to say Trump's gonna win, but but he

17
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: kind of got there in the end.

18
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 4: What do you think, Well, if you listen to someone

19
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 4: like Nate Silver, who's one of the most famous, well known,

20
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 4: respected polsters in America, he was asked exactly that question

21
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 4: gets asked all the time. He said, it's fifty to fifty.

22
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: Anyone who says they know anything more than that is

23
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 4: probably lying or making it up. But if you're asking

24
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: me what my what my gut instinct is, what the

25
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: vibe is, I'd say Trump's gonna win, so, you know

26
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: I But the big thing about that, so I do

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: think that Trump's got got an uptick in the last

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 4: week or so. But the thing I would say against

29
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 4: that is that whoever gets the turnout, whoever turns out

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 4: their vote, will win. It's so so close. And you know,

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: Elon Musk can offer people a million dollars every day

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: and so on, but he's got absolutely no experience of

33
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: the boring hard work of building a campaign where literally

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: I can tell you either I've done it many times.

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 4: On election day, you do about three sweeps of a street.

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: You get a few streets. Your job is to get

37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: Missus Jones from number fifty six on Main Street to

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: the polling booth. You know exactly who your voters are

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 4: in that street.

40
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: You don't bother with the one so foreign interference there

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: were you the very.

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: Foreign Yeah, Eketahuna and tay Happy. No, not that far.

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: But this is four elections. I've worked on it. But

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: you know that takes a lot. You don't just build

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: that in the last few weeks. You build it over

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: months and months and months with volunteers who will do

47
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: that work and whoever has that machine when and the

48
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: Dems have that to their advantage.

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, what do you think, Trisha?

50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: I think it is too close to call and that's

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: why no one is willing to pick it. You know,

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of talk about whether and like last

53
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: time Trump won, whether the polls are in fact under

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: underpicking him because they're not getting out to the right

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: the right voters. In terms of Josie's point, you know,

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: Carmena Harris has got a huge on the ground team.

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: They have had an app for their their daughter door canvases,

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: so they go into an area, they get off a bus,

59
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: they've got a app on their phones that tells them

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: exactly which door they need to knock on and they'll

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: be going back on election day because they are they

62
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: are actually offering people rides to the polls. What's been

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: interesting in the past few is to look at how

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 3: the campaign has turned. So Trump has been turning, as

65
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: one commentator said, to vulgarity and viral stunts. His languaging

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: is getting more and more sort of gross, and those

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: on his team and on the other side you have

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: got Kamela Harris turning out star Power with the likes

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: of Michelle Obama in recent days, really going hard on

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: women and reproductive rights. And you've also had Republican Liz

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: Cheney turning out for Harris in the past week, which

72
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: has been really interesting because that message has been to

73
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: Republicans who don't want to They don't want to vote

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: for Trump, but they don't want to admit that they

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: would vote for the Democrats. So you know, there's just

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: so much in play for the election.

77
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 4: It's a fascinating What's really interesting is that I saw

78
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: some research that the attack ads that have gone out

79
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: against Trump, you know, he's a fascist, are that they're

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: really ineffective because his supporters already know that he's despicable

81
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: and he's not a nice guy. So they're rationalizing it

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: like like John Key has He's gone, look, I know

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: he's not a nice guy, but I like the tax cuts.

84
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: So the attack ads don't work. What but but it's

85
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 4: not the same for Kamala's. So if Trump's campaign doesn't

86
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: attack ad on Kamala, that works really well, and they

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: go out and say, oh, she's failed, she's weak, she's

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: dangerously liberal. That works quite well. The ads that work

89
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: the best for Kamala are Buddy, the working class guy

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: who's shown listening to Trump, going, you guys are rich

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: as hell. These are to you know, billionaires, I'm going

92
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: to give you a tax cut, and Buddy says, well,

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: I'm not rich as hell and I need a tax cut.

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: So anything that's targeting the working class on economy and

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: cost of living it works for the Democrats. But not

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: attacking Trump.

97
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a very good point actually that you've made. Right,

98
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: They're right, we'll take a break, come back sixteen away

99
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 2: from six.

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: take the socials off?

104
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Ginny?

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 3: Well as as a starting point. I mean, anyone facing

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: into the wind for a photo is going to look

107
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: like a vacuum packed lamb chop, aren't they. I thought,

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: I thought that that was pretty pretty silly and unfair,

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: And in fact, when I saw it that there were

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: two things that stuck out to me. One is I thought, gee,

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: poor old King Charles. He looks pretty old and thin

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: on it, and considering that he's been battling cancer this year,

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: that's no surprise. And then the other thing that I

114
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: noticed in that photo lurking in the background of it, yep,

115
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: was a navel. Was a naval vessel. And I thought

116
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: it's sort of a you know, it's sort of almost

117
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: you know, a ghostly image. Considering what happened to our

118
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: mana we nui over there.

119
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: What you're trying to say, Trish, is you didn't even

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: look at his crotch, did you?

121
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: No? No, I did it.

122
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I didn't.

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: No, I didn't think. I did think that about I

124
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: truly thought that though about the suit when you're facing

125
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: into the wind and any you know, as a woman,

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: you'd never do that with your best frock on. But

127
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: also I do think, you know, one of the things

128
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: that people get caught out on so often was social

129
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: not actually posting themselves, but liking a dumb tweet or

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: or a dumb post or re sharing.

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: It without thinking, Yeah, I sort of feel like Josie,

132
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: there should be you know, like everybody's got some rules.

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: Right the minute that I start drinking, I do not drive.

134
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't have an argument because it'll just go badly.

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to have I don't send messages

136
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: to people because it's a bad idea. And I feel

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: like politicians should have a rule. You can use the

138
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: social but don't like other people's stuff, no matter how

139
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: hilarious it is.

140
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and nothing good happens after midnight. So if you're

141
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: on Twitter x whatever it's called now and doing tweeting

142
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: and retweeting and liking, your being a bit daft. But

143
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: the interesting thing is Jenny Anderson's offense here is pretty

144
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: similar grade to that of Andrew Bailey, isn't it. And

145
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: yet you know, where are the calls for her resignation?

146
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: There aren't there. I do think the thing that gets

147
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: me about Jenny is not no. I think it's the

148
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: same level of nothingness. Really, I mean I don't I

149
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: think she's daft to have done that and she shouldn't

150
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: have done it, But I don't think it's you know,

151
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: it's a big issue. I think the bigger issue for

152
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: me about Jenny is when she was police minister. And

153
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: I think it's not just the you know, ill advised

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: comments on Mitchell as police minister that he'd killed people

155
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: and so on. It's not so much this and not

156
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: even this silly tweet. It's more do you remember back

157
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: in the ram raids last year? And I remember she

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: was police minister and she came out and said, no, no,

159
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: actually the statistics show that ramraids are continuing to trend

160
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: downwards and we're all feeling safer. And it was such

161
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: a jarring note from a police minister when everyone was going,

162
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: this is awful, and darianors we're having a problem. So

163
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: I think she's got bigger problems, and I think Labour

164
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: has bigger problems with her than simply her daft you know.

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Rechai agree. It's weird that they haven't realized after about

166
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: seven years of her saying stupid stuff out loud, that

167
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: she's a liability. But maybe maybe they'll get there in

168
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: the end. Now, Trish, what are we going to do

169
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: about the mail situation? I'm very happy for New Zealand

170
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Posts to literally never deliver another piece of mail to

171
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: my letter box and just shut the thing down. What

172
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: about you?

173
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: I am absolutely with you. I mean, I can't think

174
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: of the last time I got anything in the mail

175
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: that I actually wanted. Main things around here still are

176
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: real estate flyers. You still get the odd circular from

177
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: chemists particularly. You get a lot of those, and often

178
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 3: it is it's tickets or something that you.

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 4: Really don't want.

180
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: Everything else is online, and I think for New Zealand

181
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: Post it's one of those things where they probably need

182
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: to make a pretty deep cut and get ahead of

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: it rather than you know, constantly what feels like cutting

184
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: back on on service. And these days, you know, I

185
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: was thinking, while you're in the back of the day,

186
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: you loved getting a letter. But these days, even with

187
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: your older friends and relatives, you just jump on FaceTime

188
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: with them.

189
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: And every time I see the mailbox full of stuff,

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: my heart sinks because it's either a bill, a traffic fine,

191
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: hospital test result, or direct marketing, none of which are welcome.

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: So I don't want any of it. But for some reason,

193
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: banks still send bank statements, but I know you can

194
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: select not to.

195
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't get that nut.

196
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 4: Oh I'm still getting bank sas. But yeah, the point

197
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 4: is that is it obviously is fading out a bit

198
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: like checks, right, But but you do have to phase

199
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: it out over time because you do have people in

200
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: sort of rural communities like I remember as an aide charity,

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: we had people sending donations with checks when the checks

202
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: were being phased out. So you've got to kind of

203
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: you've got to move slowly with this stuff, I guess.

204
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, nothing good comes in the mailbox these days.

205
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: Too, right, nothing good at all. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

206
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,600
