  Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: earlier issue with one Root Love where you Live News
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Talk Zibi.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Good morning, it is Monday, it is six after five.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Great to have your company this morning. Coming up. Mark
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Mitchell on this correction story the drones in Europe. Hu
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Jinping wants a Taiwan for trade deal with Trump plus
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: great and wikis great, and wikis forgive me. She's spoken
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: out about Dame Knowles. Andrew Orderson has all of that
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in Sport.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It's Monday, the twenty ninth of September. Another Putin blitz
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: on Ukraine. Five hundred drones, forty missiles, twelve hours, seven regions,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: four dead, including a twelve year old girl in Keith.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Ukraine's air defenses have once again been overwhelmed. And this
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: is the difference between Moscow and Kiev. Russia is able
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: to manufacture drones in such large quantities and Ukraine is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: less able to. It is reliant on its western allies.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: To the US. There's backlash, of course, to Trump sending
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the troops into Portland.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Oregon has not requested any federal assistance and nor do
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: we need it. President Trump's inconceivable insistence that we need
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: federal troops in Portland does not address the real concerns
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: in our communities.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: To the Women's Rugby World Cup, England get a third
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: title after thrashing Canada thirty three thirteen at Twickenham. England's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: other champion, our Black Ferns, by the way, took bronze,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: holding off France forty two to twenty six over the weekend.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: At just eighteen years old, Braxton Sorenson McGee was named
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: World Rugby Women's fifteens Breakthrough Player of the Year.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Actually didn't think that I will be close to that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the tournament, but here now I'm
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: grateful for how.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Hard I work for it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Also on the Agenda on your radio. On the Agenda
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this week we're expecting the Frontier Report on the energy sector.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Views and Views you Trust to start your day's early
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof Love where you live.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: News talks that'd be which will come to not much
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: by the well, I mean not much, but it's not
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: going to break up the gen tailors in case that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: what anyone is hoping for. Also, the Palestine thing, which
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I told you this is what would happen, and it happened,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: but over the weekend the muted response from the international media.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, of all the fuss that was made about it,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: there was very little reporting and international press about our decisions.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So how important, how significant was New Zealand's stance on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that particular issue. Well you have to question it, wouldn't you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Now another correction story out today, This one says we've
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: got more prisoners in jail than we forecast to have
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: more of them might have to double bunk. Most Keywis,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I think, will give absolutely zero cares about that. We
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: all know how hard it is to get into prison,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: don't we. You don't get there by jaywalking, and we
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: elected the government to go and do something about that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So when people complain about the prison population going up,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I think most keys don't care. In fact, I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: most Keyi's probably you know, they don't think about it
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a lot, but you're probably happy, you know better, they're
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in there the next door to me. And this thing
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: about rehabilitation, no government has ever been good at rehabilitating prisoners.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, they offer it, but to get help, you've
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: got to want it, don't you. I was listening over
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the weekend two. I don't know, don't ask me why.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But Joe Biden when he was a senator back in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the nineties, and just the alignment between the left and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: right on corrections and on justice and on prisons.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: The end result is they're about to knock my mother
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: on the head with the lad pipe, shoot my sister,
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: beat up my wife, take on my sons. So I
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: don't want to ask what made them do this. They
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: must be taken off the street.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it. And he's certainly changed his tune when
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he was in the White House. Mark Mitchell on this
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: before just gone ten after five. Now coming up next,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to Andrew Sport Monday morning and lots to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: talk about. Obviously there was the abs, but also this
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Grace and Wiki at the weekend. This was last night
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: in fact against South Africa. She comes out on stage
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and says, hey, Dame Knowles, we want you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Back, views and views you trust to start your day.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: where you Live News Talk said be.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Twelve after five on early edition, Great to be back
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: with you. Was on drive last week, not on holiday,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: just in case anyone was wondering about how often I'm
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: skiving off anyway, Grace and Wiki has after the game
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: with South Africa last night pretty much said you're welcome back,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Dame Knowles. Knowles, we love you and we miss you
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and we want you back here. You've done so much
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: less and you've done this but to be here, And
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: isn't that interesting? So who It's obviously not Grace that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: had a problem Dame Knowles. Otherwise she presumably otherwise she
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be saying it. So which of the team had
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the problem with Dame Knowles. We're still sort of in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the dark on all of this, and what is Netbull
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to have to bring her back? One't they? Thirteen after
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: five Andrew Ordison on Sport on that next Ryan Bridge,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the world has heard New Zealand's verdict on Palestinian statehood,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: with a war.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Raging, her Maas still in place and no clarity on
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: next steps. We did not think that time is now.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Recognizing Palestine now will likely prove counterproductive. That is har
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Maas resisting negotiation in the belief that it is winning
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: the global propaganda war.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Labor in the Greens hit back, of course, saying it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: morally reprehensible what the government's done. Jeffrey Miller is foreign
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: policy analyst with US this morning. Jeffrey, good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I wasn't at all surprised by this with you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: I was a little surprised because in the end, we've
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: got one hundred and fifty seven members of the UN
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: out of one hundred and ninety three recognizing a Palestinian state,
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: and New Zealand has decided not to be one of them.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: And New Zealand is quite an outlier now and it
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: is really at odds Ryan, with the policies that New
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Zealand has taken and the approach and its approach for
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: the war in Gaza, because New Zealand has tended to
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: side with the likes of the United Kingdom and Canada,
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: Australia throughout the war. It's the issue numerous joint statements,
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: it's voted with them. It's surprising in that sense.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Isn't it? More technical? Like Hamas remaining the de facto
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: government in Gaza, what are you actually recognizing? And the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: other argument, why would they give up arms or go
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: for a ceasefire when they're gaining so much on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: propaganda front.
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: Well, look, that's the argument from the government that there's
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: no real viable state to recognize, and that Hamas is
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: still in control of a good part of the Palestinian territories,
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: in other words, in Gaza, and therefore that's why the
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: government can't recognize the Palestinian state right now. But I
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: think than really is missing the moment. In a sense.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: What we're looking at here is an expression of will
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: from the international community for a Palestinian state to exist.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: And just as we talk about Israel's right to exist,
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: this was about Palestine's right to exist. And New Zealand
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: has made his decision. I think it will be very
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: interesting in the coming days and weeks. Winston Peters will
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: need to explain that decision further. The chrystoph Luxe will
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: need to explain that decision further, not just domestically in
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: New Zealand, although that will be very important given that
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: the decision was revealed only in New York, but internationally
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: as well to New Zealand's friends and partners. So Winston Peters,
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: who is very much a fan of getting out there
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: and traveling as much as possible as Foreign Minister. He
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: will be asked questions about this when he travels. He'll
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: be asked why New Zealand decided to sit it out,
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: and he will have answers to that. And one of
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: the answers that he said was that we needed action,
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: not words. That needs to be dialogue, diplomacy, leadership. Those
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: are the words that Christopher Luxeon also used. So I'd
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: like to see New Zealand take a more active role
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: and role. If New Zealand's position is when we need
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: a viable state and we need a ceasefire, then I
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: think New zer needs to be redoubling its efforts to
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: contribute to that effort to bring about a ceasefire in
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: a longer lasting solution, a political solution, a two state
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: solution in them in the least, Jeffrey, the only answer.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I appreciate your time this morning just for Miller Foreign
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: policy analyst time is sixteen after five Moldov people watching
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: this one closely this morning. This is basically the country
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: wedge between Ukraine and a Romania on the Black Sea.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Two point four million people there. Are they going to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: continue on their path to EU membership, which is what
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: they voted for in a referendum or are they going
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to veer back towards Putin and Russia current leader's Pro
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: West is the pivot going to happen. There's a couple
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of old school Soviets nostalgic type parties which have gathered
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: together and are trying to take down this pro Western
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: party that's in power. The Pro West Party held them
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: off in twenty twenty, so can they do that again.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: That's when we're watching This Morning Sport.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Next the news you need this Morning and the in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: depth analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Love where you Live News Talks.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: That'd be five nineteen. It's Monday morning. That means Andrew Wills.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Since here was Sport Andrew, good morning, Greeting's right, good
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to see what you come back? You may thank you,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: good to be back. What did you make of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: AB's on Saturday?
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: I thought there was a compelling test match? Actually what
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: thirty three twenty four in the ends? All blacks out
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: twenty three at one stage, But Australia under Joe Schmidt
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: just working their way back in but still Fortress Eden
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: Park s Days alive for another season.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Does Robertson get an easy go in? The media. I mean,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: if it was Foster who was overseeing a team like this,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: would the reaction be a little different.
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think he's probably got a bit more leeway,
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: hasn't he. But then it's it's I guess it's tightening
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: up on it, isn't it, And that the pressure continues
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: to mount as well. It never is relinquished with the
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: All Blacks, is that it's always on the expectation to win,
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: et cetera, and maintain the legacy and the jersey, et cetera,
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: et cetera. But I thought that was a philly compelling
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: reply to of course the match against South Africa where
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: it blew out the school line. They probably did it
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: for the first hour even in that match. But South
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: Africa is so dominant and of course leading the Rugby
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: Championship now as well after they win over Argentina, so
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: that they're they're the benchmark I think, and will rugby
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: at the moment.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: What did you make of Grace and Wiki is fascinating
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: what she said last night.
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: It is when you think about the supposed to troubles
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: and not suppose it. But there's been difficulties behind the
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: scenes there. But yeah, a real what would you call that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: Just the demand or desire to see Dame Noling told
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: her back in the mix, particularly for the Constellation Cup
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: coming up. And I think that's kind of interesting, like
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: a plea. Yeah, I mean helping Patment in the news,
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: but we'll hear more of it over the course in
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: the morning, but yeah, please come back a sap. So, yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: that's the demand from from Grace Wiki out there too
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: that they want to see Dave Noling back in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: coaching ranks allers forgiven.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: The Ryder Cup singles about tea off and I saw
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: some of the biffo that happened at the weekend. It's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: hardly golf, is it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: It's quite intense and I don't know what this is
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: driven by really, but some of those fans pretty poorish
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: behavior really, and I mean Macroy giving it back to
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: them as well off the fairway there as if many
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: will have seen over the course of the weekend. But yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: the singles matches, but really it's been pretty comprehensive from
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: Team Europe. I mean playing away at Bethpage Black in
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: New York State. Well feel the intimidating environment from what
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: we've seen, but Team Europe not missing a beat really,
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: and what they've just got to win I think three
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: or at least two and a half, get two and
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: a half points, so when to maybe even draw one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: And they've got of those twelve singles matches this morning
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: and they've got it wrapped up so or at least retained.
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: But I can't see them missing to be honest.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: No, Lisa Adams has claimed world shot puts IF thirty
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: seven gold.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so this has taken place in New Delhi after
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: the we're with an ex Champs in Tokyo last week
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: and Lisa Adams she retired in April twenty twenty four,
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: but it's back in the mix now, which is the
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: world record holder and also the olymp parslobic champion in
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: that IF thirty seven event to ride and yeah, throwing
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: three thirteen point eighty three meters first throw out and
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: that was enough to take it out.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Brilliant Andrew, Good to see you as always, lovely. We'll
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: hear more from you throughout the morning. Got the go
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Andrew Wilson with Sport. It is twenty two minutes after five,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you're on news talks. He'd be coming up next. I'll
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the hybrid warfare that the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Russians are engaging and over in Europe, and after the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: news at five point thirty, of course will catch up
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: with Neva, which is always a bit of fun on
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a well any morning really, and we will also talk
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to Gavin Gray in the UK about the drones, about
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the fighter jets, I mean, what exactly are the Russians
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: up to?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Bay News Talks, ATV News Talks.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: There'd be It's five twenty five on your Monday morning.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Putin's playing a game of chicken with the Europeans, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: so far the Europeans are the chickens. They has pretty
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: much done nothing but talk about these fighter jets and
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: drones intercepted a couple take your pick of experts and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: former military bosses chiming in on the why over the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: weekend and you'll get as many different answers. Are these
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: incursions a mistake? No, there's too many of them now.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It's orchestrated clearly. So he's doing this for one of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: two reasons, to keep more territory in Ukraine, freak the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Europeans a bit, they might buckle and give them more
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of what he wants, or he's picking off countries one
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: by one to test the NATO response, lining up his
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: next target. Does NATO respond differently to a Polish incursion
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: than a Danish one? The point of NATO is that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: it shouldn't matter. It should be all for one, one
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: for all. The question then becomes, how do you deal
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: with that? And you've got to listen to a guy
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: called Maritz Break. He's with the Center for Advanced Security,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Strategic and Integration Studies. He says, you've got to be
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: more forceful with the Russians, the Turks. They shot down
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a Russian jet back in twenty fifteen. You might remember
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: that seconds after it entered their airspace. And guess what.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Putin didn't go to war with Turkey, did it. The
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: fighter pilots from Russia learned pretty quickly just whose airspace
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: belongs to who? Crayon Bridge Starma he's having a crack
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: at while he's having an interview doing the rounds in
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the Sunday television interviews over in the UK and loves
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: his country.
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: I love and have pride in my country, and I
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: want to serve the whole of our country, our beautiful tolerant,
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: diverse country.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And having a crack at farage. Of course, who's as
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: big as competition says is let's deport them policy.
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: I do think that there's a racist policy. I do
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: think it's emoral. It needs to be called out for
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: what it is.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Now back in New Zealand, Little old New Zealand, we'll
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: talk to Gavin Gray about that. After news five point thirty,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Wayne Brown has come out and said. It's the front
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: page Herald this morning. Wayne Brown comes out and says
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that the government's working on a secret harbor crossing plan NDTA,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: keeping his counsel in the dark. There are secret studies
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: going on. He says, it's all a bit mysterious, a
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: bit like the drones over Europe. Actually, he says, this
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is a quote. We know nothing. We don't even know
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: where their office is, we don't know who the consultants are.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's bizarre, which I think is actually probably a good thing.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, the less you tell Auckland Council and the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: less say you give them, I think the better off
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: we all are. But anyway, the government's hit back. So
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Bishop comes out and says, what are you talking about?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: You have had a meeting with NZNTA about this. Maybe
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Wayne forgot, I don't know. And he also says for
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the last few months a barge has been operating in
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the harbor to look at the ground and seabed conditions
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to help inform decisions. By definition, this is hardly secret.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So there you go to the US. I thought I
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: would bring you up speed on what's happening with the shutdown.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: This is basically it's that time of year, the US
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: government shutdown season, where Congress squabbles over spending before eventually
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they agree at the eleventh hour to some deal. So
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: shutdown is meant to happen twelve oh one am Wednesday
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: this week our time, sorry, their time. Trump is planning
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to meet later tonight our time in the Oval Office
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: with four of them, including the couple of Dems. Chuck
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Schuman will be there, Hakim Jeffries will be there. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: this is all about a short term so it's not
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: even the long term funding track of the United States
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that will bring its public service to a grinding halt.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It's actually just short term stuff that they need to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: agree on. The Republicans have a majority fifty three forty seven,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: but you need sixty to pass because it'll be filibustered. Well,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: it is being filibusted, So Trump is going to try
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and bring that to a conclusion. But the most important
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: piece of international news that I think is relevant to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: us this morning is nothing to do with the drones
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: in Russia. It's nothing to do with Palestine, it's nothing
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: to do with a shutdown in the United States. It's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: actually Shijing Ping and Donald Trump talking about Taiwan. This
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: is a Wall Street Journal article out this morning, exclusive
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to them that and it has the biggest implication for US,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: because Taiwan's in our backyard, right. Shijingping reckons he can
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: persuade Trump to oppose Taiwanese independence, and he wants to
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: try and get that into a trade deal. You know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: there's the one China policy where the US acknowledges the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Taiwan thing but doesn't endorse it. She reckons he can
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: get Trump to go further than that. So that's all
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: up for discussion. Apparently twenty nine after five news Talks, they'd.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Be the first word on the News of the Day
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you Live news Talks.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: They'd be good.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So good Morning's twenty four minutes away from six News Talks.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: They'd be coming up Mark Mitchell on the correction story
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: out this morning, and we're in the UK with Gavin
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Gray Ryan. Good morning, welcome back, Thank you, Clive. Nice
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to hear from you. I support the government stance on Palestine,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: not because anyone is against Palestine necessarily, but just it
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: is rewarding the wrong actions at this point. I think
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who'd agree with you, or
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the polls, most people
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: actually wanted to recognize Palestine, well forty percent. The highest
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: number in the poll I think it was thirty five
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: said don't know or don't care, don't mind, haven't really
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: thought about it, and the balance said that they were
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: against it. So there you go. Twenty three minutes away
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: from six now. Captain Judy's space mission continues. She's popped
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: out a release for US this morning, five billion bucks
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: going towards space. This is trans Tasman space expeditions that
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: she's involved with, and the Aussies are going to match
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: this money, so it'll be ten million or just over
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: ten million dollars total. The one that I thought was
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: interesting was monitoring southern Indo Pacific from space. This is
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: led by restore Lab New Zealand and smart sax CRC Australia.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: This satellite mission will deliver advanced maritime domain awareness across
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the Indo Pacific. So does that mean we're going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: be looking down at the drug smuggling and the illegal
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: fishing going on in the across the Pacific? Twenty three
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to two six, Bryan Bread. No more free bus fares
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: for children in Doneda and Queenstown Calm pro and Procter
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Indonedian for us this morning, Good morning, morning, Ryan.
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: Know the original countsil of making these changes from today
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: to meet new government funding rules, So that includes sadly
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: discontinuing free rides for children here aged between five and twelve.
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: They're also increasing the adult fear to two dollars fifty
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: in Danedan's youth fair to a dollar fifty. The Regional
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: Council says thought they know that any change to the
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: household budget has an impact, but despite the increases, Otago's
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: bus fares are still some of the cheapest in the country.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: How'd your weather come?
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: Shalls develop here, possibly heavy and thundery this afternoon.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: The high thirteenth. All right, thank you, Courtney Winter and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: christ Church Courtney, good morning to you. Good morning. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: it's day three. This teenager Marley's still missing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: Yes, so, the seventeen year old was last seen in
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: Opawa at around two thirty pm on Friday, and his
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: vehicle has been found in Sumner. Police spent the weekend
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: searching Scarborough's whitewash and surrounding bays using drones, boats and
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: land teams. Marley's believed to be wearing a light gray
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: Eddy Dess hoodie and low cut burgundy shoes. The bottom
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: half of his clothes can't be confirmed just yet. Police
• 20:27
  Speaker 12: are asking anyone with CCTV or doorbell cameras in Sumnell
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: and Scarborough to review the footage from around two footy
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: five on Friday afternoon.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: A few showers before dawn before becoming a few showers
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: this afternoon as well. Sorry, and westerly's turning southerly.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: A high of seventeen All right, thanks so much for that, Courtney,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Max and Wellington Morning Max, Good morning. Big reforms coming
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: for quake rules when Yeah.
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: A story in the post this morning ahead of today's
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: announcements so the government's been doing a year long review
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: looking at the country's quake prone building rules, the National
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: Building System NBS, and I think no one pound for
• 21:05
  Speaker 13: pound may benefit more from today than Wellington for years
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: been in this sort of holding pattern a lot of buildings, apartments, sites,
• 21:13
  Speaker 13: monument structures. Effectively, what the government is to announce today
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: should save building owners apparently in the capital a billion dollars.
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: So currently those with a risk of thirty four percent
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: or below of the NBS are considered those buildings considered
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: quake prone sixty seven percent earthquake risk. I'msure what figures
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: though that goes down to. But this announcement this afternoon
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: should provide more clarity, ease restrictions, revised deadlines for when
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: to fix up the building. Ultimately, owners should be very happy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 13: Keep an eye and air out.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah interesting, we watch you met closely. Thanks Max. How's
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: your winder?
• 21:49
  Speaker 13: Bit of rain this morning, some early strong wind as well,
• 21:52
  Speaker 13: seventeen Today's Hi, all.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Right, thank you? Neva's are not morning? Neva? Good morning,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: welcome Beck, thank you, good to see you. Now. Getting
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: across the aucand harbor can be well time consuming a
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: best and there's apparently a little secret plan going on here.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Wayne's not happy. Wayne is not happy.
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: When is Wayne ever happy? So look, he's concerned that
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: the government, as you say, keeping these secrets when it
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: comes to this possible new harbor crossing. Now the government's
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: looking at options for a second crossing. You know, it
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: has a barge out on the waite to Matar looking
• 22:23
  Speaker 14: at the feasibility of tunnels. Simon Wilson, now he's New
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: Zealand Herald Senior report. He's on the case. He spoke
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: to Wayne Brown and Wayne Brown told him, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: he believes he and the Council being kept in the dark.
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: They don't know what's being found. They don't know, they
• 22:36
  Speaker 14: don't know. And he also told, you know, Simon Wilson
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: that they don't even know where the officers.
• 22:43
  Speaker 15: So who are you.
• 22:43
  Speaker 14: Talking about this? So Chris Bishop is a Transport minister.
• 22:46
  Speaker 14: He's come in. He's going no, no, reject these claims.
• 22:50
  Speaker 14: Bishop says, a look, the council knew all along that
• 22:53
  Speaker 14: they were doing the feasibility study, and you know that
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: he said, This is Bishop saying, you know, they also
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: know that they'll be announcing this preferred option next year.
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: So he said he said, She said, he said, what
• 23:05
  Speaker 14: do you believe?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we're just stuck in traffic in the meantime, aren't we.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I reckon the less they know the better. Just keep
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: them in.
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: The dark, that's right, keep them in the dark, and
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: then obviously, yes, all will be revealed and there'll be
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: a big story on it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Brand new motorway in about twenty years time. How's our weather?
• 23:21
  Speaker 14: Cloudy periods, scattered rain from late afternoon, possibly heavy. Those
• 23:25
  Speaker 14: winds are still there, Ryan, twenty is the high So it's.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Brilliant, Neva, thank you. It is eighteen minutes away from six,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Colin says Ryan. Ten million dollars for space from Judith
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Colin's same amount that Winston just announced for Hummas and aid. Yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Judith Colin's justification for this is the fact that the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: space industry in New Zealand has increased in size fifty
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and profitability fifty three percent over the past decade or so.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So invest now and reap rewards later. Eighteen to six
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: News Talk seb Well they've gone and done it again,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: haven't they. This is Milford a clean sweep in twenty

  Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, Kevin Gray, are you you're a correspondent Kevin. Good
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to have you on the show. Are they saying it,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: definitely it's the Russians with the drones. More airspace has
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: been based incursions.
• 25:12
  Speaker 16: Yeah, at the moment run there is no confirmation about this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 16: The Russians are dismissing it. So what's happened is we've had,
• 25:18
  Speaker 16: of course drones flying over airspace in Denmark last week,
• 25:22
  Speaker 16: while it's happened again at the start of the weekend,
• 25:25
  Speaker 16: and it was also over one of the air bases
• 25:28
  Speaker 16: that is used for its armed forces, and that meant
• 25:32
  Speaker 16: that things couldn't fly at all because they can't shoot
• 25:35
  Speaker 16: the drones down owing to the fact that these airport
• 25:38
  Speaker 16: spaces are around areas that are quite densely populated, so
• 25:42
  Speaker 16: that's why they're not being shot down. But the idea
• 25:45
  Speaker 16: that the Danish Defense Command can't operate the armed forces
• 25:50
  Speaker 16: properly because of drones in the area is obviously deeply,
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: deeply worrying. Now it's not the first time that Denmark
• 25:57
  Speaker 16: has been attacked, as I mentioned, but so to on
• 26:00
  Speaker 16: that same area and same evening. Rather, there were possible
• 26:04
  Speaker 16: sightings reported in Germany, Norway and Lithuania. And if you
• 26:08
  Speaker 16: think it sounded like a scratch record. Well, that's because,
• 26:10
  Speaker 16: of course last week and the week before we were
• 26:13
  Speaker 16: talking about twenty Russian drones crossing into Poland, Russian meek
• 26:17
  Speaker 16: thirty one jets entering Estonia, and so it goes on
• 26:20
  Speaker 16: and on, and plenty of people are pointing the finger
• 26:23
  Speaker 16: of the drone cause as being Russia, saying they're deliberately
• 26:27
  Speaker 16: trying to test Europe and NATO.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's haending with Herod's in the IT issues.
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: Yeah, they've had another problem with it. This time it's
• 26:37
  Speaker 16: a system's breach, and it's because of the systems being
• 26:41
  Speaker 16: breached by a third party provider. Now, Harold's has described
• 26:45
  Speaker 16: the incident as isolated and saying no passwords or payment
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: details were taken. But because Harold's one of the best
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: known department stores in the world, known for its luxury goods,
• 26:56
  Speaker 16: and it looks like that people did get away or
• 27:00
  Speaker 16: were leaked, were potentially names and addresses, email addresses, but
• 27:04
  Speaker 16: no more than that, Harold's is quick to say, so
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: this is not connected to a cyber attack that it
• 27:10
  Speaker 16: suffered back in May when it restricted Internet access across
• 27:14
  Speaker 16: its sites. That was a precourtionary measure. Following an attempt
• 27:17
  Speaker 16: to gain unauthorized access to its systems. But I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 16: this really just shows at the moment how here in
• 27:22
  Speaker 16: the UK in particular, cyber attacks have become almost a
• 27:26
  Speaker 16: daily sort of headline here with big attacks, high profile
• 27:29
  Speaker 16: attacks on high street giants, Marks and Spencer and also
• 27:32
  Speaker 16: the co Op And now back a few weeks ago,
• 27:36
  Speaker 16: the National Crime Agency arresting four people all in the UK,
• 27:40
  Speaker 16: a twenty year old woman and three males aged between
• 27:43
  Speaker 16: seventeen and nineteen. All have since been released on bail
• 27:47
  Speaker 16: pending further action.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Kevin, appreciate your Timekevin Gray a UK, you're correspondent.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: By the way, the people have been texting in to
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: say the drones can't be from Russia because Russia's too
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: far away and the drones wouldn't fly that far. An
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: open source investigation that's been reported overnight there were two
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Russian cargo vessels and one oil tanker in the vicinity
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: of the drones around that time they reckon they could
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: launched them from there. It's eleven minutes away from six
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: ray bred money for prison story in the Herald this morning.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: The ninety eight million bucks set aside in last year's
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: budget to higher staff for ten eight hundred inmates has
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: already been spent. Apparently, prisoner numbers have hit ten thy,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and sixty three, So just shy of that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Almost a year of head of forecast, there are two
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six jobs still vacant. Mark Mitchell, the Minister,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: good morning, Hey, good morning Ryan. So forecast we're off.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Is this because we have more criminals or a higher
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: proportion of them being locked up?
• 28:40
  Speaker 15: Are there's just more people being locked up? Because is
• 28:42
  Speaker 15: it incoming government? We're really clear that we're prioritizing public safety,
• 28:46
  Speaker 15: that it means that we're not leaving people out in
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: the community that were hurting in causing problems. Actually they're
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: now in a corrections facility and we'll have a good
• 28:55
  Speaker 15: credit reasonabilitating them.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think he was care if there's double bunking.
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: I don't know. I think that they. I think they
• 29:03
  Speaker 15: care that we make sure that we run the best
• 29:05
  Speaker 15: possible class correction service we can in the world, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: we do that. I love the chance to be able
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: to talk about our corrections offices they do in facility
• 29:12
  Speaker 15: to join the community. Because they asked quite something world class.
• 29:15
  Speaker 15: They do do an amazing job. There are tens of
• 29:17
  Speaker 15: thousands of positive interactions that happen every day. The problem is,
• 29:21
  Speaker 15: of course you only hear when something goes wrong through
• 29:24
  Speaker 15: the media. But they're quite something. You're outstanding and they've
• 29:27
  Speaker 15: got a very important part to play around public safety
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: and they're standing up and win that role.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, but Correction says the staff and levels are suboptimal,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the best.
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: We've ever been in the last eight years in terms
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: of staff, we're in the best position.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: We have been and eight years.
• 29:48
  Speaker 15: It's not suboptimal and all. It's not the Christians saying
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: that the suboptimal. They're saying that Corrections are at the
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: best place of the being, like I said, for eight
• 29:56
  Speaker 15: years as an incoming government. They started a new recruiting
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: campaign that's been extremely successful. We've got a massive pipeline
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: of people wanting to join and become crests as we've
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: got another seventy officers being trained and ready to deployed
• 30:09
  Speaker 15: at the bar. We're the best place that we've been.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: For eight years. That campaign was very successful and they
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: pointed out they had one hundred and thirty five thousand
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: apparently applying for jobs and you still have two hundred
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: and seventy six vacancies.
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: How does that compute you, because that doesn't mean that
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: everyone gets through.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: You know, there are.
• 30:27
  Speaker 15: Bigh standards required to become in New Ze Trections officer,
• 30:31
  Speaker 15: as it should be. But yes, like I said, we're
• 30:34
  Speaker 15: in the best place we've being for eight years in
• 30:36
  Speaker 15: terms of recruiting, deployment and actually staff on the floor. Now,
• 30:39
  Speaker 15: what that meant when I first became minister is that
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: we had a lot of new officers going out on
• 30:45
  Speaker 15: the floor. And of course that it was with its
• 30:47
  Speaker 15: own challenges. But we're now sort of almost two years
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: in and like I said, we're in a really good position. Look,
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: I have the opposition in peace is they're greening peace
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: of visiting twice this week different prisons. Mind fighting something wrong,
• 31:02
  Speaker 15: That's what we're doing. For what our staff are doing,
• 31:04
  Speaker 15: they've been doing that now for two years and they
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: haven't been able to come up with anything. And that's
• 31:08
  Speaker 15: a good thing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: They've said.
• 31:09
  Speaker 15: The health check.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Appreciate sounds like a two minister appreciated. Mark Mitchell corrections Minister,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: it is eight minutes away from sex year on news Talk,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: said b and Mike is next.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the Headlines on early edition with Ryan
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love Where You.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Live News Talks B six to six on news Talk,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: said b Ryan, the feasibility study is common knowledge that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: this is about the potential new route across the Whites
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and Matta Harbor and Auckland is common knowledge on our
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: building site. Everyone's talking about it, been going on for months.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I believe it's a Scandinavian crowd. So why isn't Old
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Wayne Brown in the know? And Mike's in the studio morning? Mike,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: good to see you. Ryan, did you notice? I just
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: wanted to check whether you noticed any change in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: studio's cleanliness while I was doing drive in the afternoons,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: because I made a concerted effort. It's not a bad question.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Actually if I wouldn't have come to that voluntarily, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: if you made some sort of effort, I could back
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: you up by saying it wasn't dramatically different, but i'd
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: seen potentially someone hadn't left the place. I don't know
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: whether you're the last person in here or people who were, Like.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I think there must be other people that come after the.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Other people because they're not normal, and so that's where
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: the problem was.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I know how much it means to you, so I thought,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you know what, it's going to take me just a minute.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: At the end of the story, I've ever asked, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: forty four years of broadcasting, eighteen years on this particular program,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: all I've ever asked of my fellow broadcasters is they
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: leave the sort of like my mother used to say,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: you leave the place as you.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Found it, as you found it, as you found it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: And if you can't do that, what's the matter with you?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: It was fairly difficult.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: This morning, Monday is the worst day, obviously.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Because you've got the sloths on the weekend.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: You got the sloths on the weekend. It's a completely
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: different class of person on the weekend.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I could hang on, didn't you used to work on
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the weekend? Yeah, but it was differ there.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: It's gone downhill standards, It's gone dramatically downhill. I could
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: name names, in fact in my book, I will. But
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: are you writing a book? Of course I'm writing a book.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Are you actually everyone's writing a book? Really, we're all
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: writing a book.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: But no one makes any money out of than. That's
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: what I've been told you want to.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: See in the country.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: The upfront, are you actually writing a book? Will you
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: one day write a book?
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: No?
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Probably not. To be honest, I wish I could say yes.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I've been asked several times, and the upfront money is
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: actually quite good if you hold out long enough, as
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: I found out. But then I'd have to sit down
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: and be dedicated to the task. And why for what purpose?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Well, one day you'll have time on your hands.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Well, but here's the problem. Here's the here's my current thinking.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Everyone writes a book these days.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: What's time?
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: A book was a thing, whereas now it's not a thing.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Any man and his dog can write a book, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: they do.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, what's the point exactly? You just get
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: to write it anyway because you reckon.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: Hey, you got the pigs, miss the level of discourse here,
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: you got the Prime Minister on this morning. No, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: don't actually, oh don't.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. Always a rollercoaster, Mike. See tomorrow.
