- 0:08Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
- 0:12Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture bands and a play at store news Dogs.
- 0:15Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, Welcome to your Monday morning. It
- 0:18Speaker 2: has just gone six after five on Ryan Bridge. Guess
- 0:21Speaker 2: how many Americans answered yes to the following question true
- 0:26Speaker 2: American patriots have to resort to violence to save our country.
- 0:32Speaker 2: How many Americans do you Reckon said yes? Was it
- 0:35Speaker 2: five percent? Was it ten percent?
- 0:36Speaker 3: No?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Much more than that. I'll give you the numbers just
- 0:39Speaker 2: before six, also in the United States. But a trend
- 0:42Speaker 2: that's happening around the world. Women are flooding the workforce.
- 0:45Speaker 2: This is after COVID, the biggest numbers ever. So why
- 0:49Speaker 2: are they still complaining? We'll ask that question this week.
- 0:53Speaker 2: You get some inflation data out on Wednesday. After five
- 0:56Speaker 2: point thirty. We've got Gavin Gray in the UK. The
- 0:59Speaker 2: King's speech is coming up this week too, so what
- 1:02Speaker 2: is on Labour's agenda with their big majority? We will
- 1:06Speaker 2: ask him that is after five point thirty this morning.
- 1:10Speaker 2: The agenda Monday, the fifteenth of July, and Donald Trump
- 1:15Speaker 2: has been shot in an assassination attempt at a rally
- 1:17Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. Take a look at what happened. The FBI
- 1:29Speaker 2: have identified the gunman as twenty year old Thomas Crooks,
- 1:32Speaker 2: who was located on a roof about one hundred and
- 1:34Speaker 2: thirty meters from the stage when he started firing at
- 1:37Speaker 2: the former president. He was shot dead by the Secret Service.
- 1:41Speaker 2: A witness at the rally told the BBC he saw
- 1:43Speaker 2: the gunman minutes before the shooting. We noticed the guy
- 1:47Speaker 2: crawling army you know, bear crawling up the.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Roof of the building.
- 1:53Speaker 2: In a statement, we noticed the guy crawling. In a
- 1:56Speaker 2: statement earlier this morning, Trump thanks supporters, saying he will
- 1:59Speaker 2: quote fear not but instead remain resilient in our faith
- 2:03Speaker 2: and defiant in the face of wickedness. Will cross live
- 2:08Speaker 2: to the US for the latest later in the show.
- 2:10Speaker 2: That's just before six. Back here ATMP Mark Cameron has
- 2:13Speaker 2: lodged a member's bill which would amend the Resource Management Act.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Cameron wants to stop councils from considering negative impacts of
- 2:20Speaker 2: climate change when looking at consents. Greater Wellington Regional Council
- 2:25Speaker 2: says passing the bill would be a step backwards. Bryan
- 2:29Speaker 2: Bridge just gone eight after five. Now, yeah, lots of
- 2:32Speaker 2: new information about this shooter from overnight. Thomas Matthew Cooks
- 2:35Speaker 2: is his name. You'd probably already know that. He's a
- 2:37Speaker 2: white twenty year old with glasses. He's from Bethel Park
- 2:41Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, but an hour's drive from where the shooting
- 2:44Speaker 2: took place. He graduated from high school in twenty twenty
- 2:47Speaker 2: two with a prize no less for maths and science.
- 2:51Speaker 2: He worked at a local nursing home in a kitchen
- 2:54Speaker 2: there you used to drive himself off to work. So
- 2:57Speaker 2: he was registered as a Republican voter according to the media,
- 3:01Speaker 2: but he donated a small amount to a liberal campaign
- 3:05Speaker 2: group called Act Blue in twenty twenty one, So at
- 3:08Speaker 2: the moment we're a little unsure about exactly who he
- 3:11Speaker 2: was supporting. But what we do know is that he
- 3:14Speaker 2: was wearing when he was shot dead by the Secret Service,
- 3:17Speaker 2: and he was wearing a T shirt from a group
- 3:20Speaker 2: called Demolition Ranch and they are a YouTube channel known
- 3:23Speaker 2: for showing off their guns and demolition content. And we
- 3:28Speaker 2: had a look on this website on the YouTube channel
- 3:30Speaker 2: this morning. This is one of the videos we found.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Were you ready to fire through?
- 3:34Speaker 4: In this on and just hold on both buttons until
- 3:37Speaker 4: it's empty.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Okay, that's it easy?
- 3:39Speaker 4: Is that?
- 3:48Speaker 1: How many rounds?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Was that?
- 3:49Speaker 5: That was one hundred?
- 3:50Speaker 6: That was so bad rounds?
- 3:52Speaker 7: I guess that was the one hundred rounds.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So that was the audio from the website that he had,
- 3:57Speaker 2: the t shirt of Demolition Ranch. The gun. Apparently the
- 4:00Speaker 2: weapon that he used was purchased by his father. He
- 4:04Speaker 2: had explosives found in his car. So basically the gun
- 4:08Speaker 2: pretty easy to get, right them apparently very easy to get,
- 4:11Speaker 2: the tutorials online, easy to get. The Secret Service failure, Well,
- 4:15Speaker 2: they'll be looking into that, won't they. But why does
- 4:18Speaker 2: a twenty year old this would have been the first
- 4:20Speaker 2: election he was actually able to vote in. Why does
- 4:23Speaker 2: a twenty year old go and pull the trigger on
- 4:26Speaker 2: an ar rifle instead of ticking a box and a
- 4:29Speaker 2: voting booth? Right this week? In New Zealand inflation data,
- 4:34Speaker 2: we will get some on Wednesday and the stubborn, as
- 4:37Speaker 2: a friend put it to me, over the weekend, Grinchy
- 4:40Speaker 2: Adrian Or will be in the news again, as we
- 4:43Speaker 2: will see the other thing that I'm looking for is
- 4:45Speaker 2: the banks, because asb obviously, a couple of weeks ago
- 4:48Speaker 2: predicted that they bear a rate cup November, so at
- 4:51Speaker 2: least twenty twenty four. What will the other banks do
- 4:54Speaker 2: once they get this new data? Of course, we have
- 4:56Speaker 2: the manufacturing data activity dropping to its lowest no on
- 5:00Speaker 2: COVID lockdown monthly level since February two thousand and nine.
- 5:04Speaker 2: The bn Z Business and Z Performance on Manufacturing index
- 5:07Speaker 2: is forty one point one. That's down from forty six
- 5:10Speaker 2: point six in May. That is below the long term
- 5:14Speaker 2: average of fifty two point six. And of course Friday
- 5:18Speaker 2: we got that bleak June card data. This is electronic
- 5:21Speaker 2: card data. How much are we swiping and spending on
- 5:24Speaker 2: our cards? The total value fell as seasonally adjusted point
- 5:28Speaker 2: five percent to nine billion in June from May. Spending
- 5:31Speaker 2: levels are down five percent year on year and you
- 5:35Speaker 2: can see it on the high street wherever you are
- 5:37Speaker 2: in New Zealand. So will this Wednesday's data help or
- 5:41Speaker 2: hurt our chances of an early Christmas present? And is
- 5:45Speaker 2: having Adrian or in charge? Is he a little too
- 5:47Speaker 2: emotional because he went too far? He got a bit
- 5:51Speaker 2: too trigger happy during COVID with the money printing, So
- 5:55Speaker 2: is he do you think too emotionally invested in getting
- 5:58Speaker 2: us back to the target range, which sure is his job.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Would you rather a clean slate and have someone else
- 6:04Speaker 2: in there? Nineteen ninet two was the number of text
- 6:07Speaker 2: it's just gone twelve after five when we come back
- 6:10Speaker 2: kying of order is giving more tenants the boot? Is
- 6:13Speaker 2: it a good thing? And where do they go?
- 6:16Speaker 4: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 6:20Speaker 4: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
- 6:23Speaker 4: News talk zidby.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Fourteen after five. Of course, the most heinous thing about
- 6:27Speaker 2: what happened at the weekend is the fact that one
- 6:29Speaker 2: person was killed, and the Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has
- 6:33Speaker 2: just in the last a few moments announced the name
- 6:37Speaker 2: of the deceased. It was volunteer fire chief Corey Compretory.
- 6:41Speaker 2: He was fifty years old and he was killed diving
- 6:45Speaker 2: on his family to try and protect them from the
- 6:47Speaker 2: bullets at this Trump rally, right, just gone caught a pass.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Now fourteen unruly tenants have been evicted from coyinga Order
- 6:54Speaker 2: properties in the last three months. That's fourteen and three months,
- 6:58Speaker 2: up from just eight for all of twenty twenty three.
- 7:02Speaker 2: The government has created a new disruptive behavior policy to
- 7:05Speaker 2: make it easier for KO to evict tenants, but there
- 7:09Speaker 2: are calls for there to be more support before people
- 7:11Speaker 2: lose their homes. Joining me now is community Housing ALTA
- 7:14Speaker 2: at our chief executive Paul gil Gilbert. I should say, Paul,
- 7:18Speaker 2: good morning to you. Where did these people go once
- 7:20Speaker 2: they've give them the boot?
- 7:22Speaker 3: Look, you're asking the right question. We've got about twenty
- 7:26Speaker 3: thousand houses within the community housing sector, but I'm afraid
- 7:31Speaker 3: to say that they actually have people living in them.
- 7:33Speaker 3: So from a community housing perspective, we can have struggled
- 7:37Speaker 3: to take I mean, those are low numbers, let's face it,
- 7:40Speaker 3: on the scale of things. When Ko's got sixty thousand houses,
- 7:43Speaker 3: that's not a hell of a lot of far noo
- 7:46Speaker 3: who are being exited. But we were not sure where
- 7:49Speaker 3: they're going to go. We've been asking the same question.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Right because there's obviously no room at Urine, there's no
- 7:54Speaker 2: other room at Chao's. In the private market, I mean,
- 7:58Speaker 2: they're not going to take them, are they.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Well, it's a question of affordability at that point, because
- 8:03Speaker 3: basically the private market will do what it does and
- 8:07Speaker 3: maximize its financial return. And these are typically households. The
- 8:11Speaker 3: ones we're talking about are low income households usually and
- 8:15Speaker 3: they can't afford to live in the open market. It
- 8:19Speaker 3: just doesn't stack up.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Do these numbers stack up to you? So fourteen this
- 8:23Speaker 2: is under the new rules, fourteen tenants evicted in the
- 8:26Speaker 2: space of three months. How many would you evict from
- 8:30Speaker 2: you that your members' homes. I understand they're about thirty
- 8:32Speaker 2: five thousand people living in twenty odd thousand homes. How
- 8:36Speaker 2: many would you evict?
- 8:38Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think proportionately, just to be straight up,
- 8:43Speaker 3: community members, community housing providers also do if tenants. We
- 8:48Speaker 3: have always used that as an absolute sort of last
- 8:52Speaker 3: measure of last resort, right when all other avenues have
- 8:55Speaker 3: been pursued KO numbers. Basically they had for the last
- 9:00Speaker 3: six years there was an absolute no eviction's policy, which
- 9:03Speaker 3: is a very difficult circumstance to work in because there
- 9:06Speaker 3: are no consequences. So our view really is it's a
- 9:11Speaker 3: matter of lusts. All the numbers are increasing because they
- 9:15Speaker 3: were not evicting people at all. That's operating from a
- 9:18Speaker 3: very low base, and there's a whole lot of other
- 9:21Speaker 3: considerations here that we need to taken into account, and
- 9:23Speaker 3: so you know, we're not we're not alone facing these issues.
- 9:29Speaker 3: But this is not answering the problem. It's kind of
- 9:30Speaker 3: shifting the problems for those who are victed. Know where
- 9:34Speaker 3: do they go?
- 9:34Speaker 2: Do they go?
- 9:35Speaker 3: And have then costs the taxpayer is the really big deal,
- 9:38Speaker 3: because what are they going to do with they're homeless.
- 9:40Speaker 2: The other thing, though, is you've got two thousand people
- 9:42Speaker 2: in motels, You've got what twenty four thousand on the
- 9:45Speaker 2: social housing wait list. It's not fair to them to
- 9:48Speaker 2: have some thug who's threatening their neighbors in a house
- 9:51Speaker 2: when you know this family needs it, so you've got it.
- 9:53Speaker 2: You've got to kick them out, don't you.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Well, in our case, with the approach housing and appropriate support,
- 10:01Speaker 3: it's possible, we believe for all New Zealanders to have
- 10:03Speaker 3: a home. Being someone is neither of those. It's making
- 10:06Speaker 3: things worse, not better. It's around what do you do?
- 10:10Speaker 2: How do you do that if they're threatening the neighbors?
- 10:12Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So this is where we've started and have
- 10:16Speaker 3: been running for a long time now, tendency placement partnerships.
- 10:20Speaker 3: And what that means is that you've got to look
- 10:22Speaker 3: at the characteristics of the households. If you've got an
- 10:24Speaker 3: alpha male in the household, it's not a great idea
- 10:27Speaker 3: to stick them in a high density situation where they're
- 10:30Speaker 3: in close proximity to lots of other families. You need
- 10:32Speaker 3: to go for a single site, or you need to
- 10:35Speaker 3: select gives them a role in the community, like the
- 10:37Speaker 3: Salvation Army do. For example, they'll give a bloke like
- 10:40Speaker 3: that a job in the community that they live in.
- 10:43Speaker 3: They'll say, hey, could you keep an eye on who's
- 10:46Speaker 3: coming and going from the facility, rather than just leaving
- 10:49Speaker 3: them to it.
- 10:50Speaker 2: So it's basically a really intensive approach to dealing with
- 10:54Speaker 2: a tenant like that. Paul, thank you very much for
- 10:55Speaker 2: your time, Paul Gilbert. This morning, Community Housing Altered. Our
- 10:59Speaker 2: chief executive Andrew Ordison. Here were sport next to where
- 11:03Speaker 2: to Wimbledon?
- 11:04Speaker 4: First the news you need this morning and the in
- 11:08Speaker 4: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City
- 11:12Speaker 4: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store News Talks.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It'd be twenty one minutes after five o'clock. A couple
- 11:18Speaker 2: of texts come in on the caring order evictions. This
- 11:22Speaker 2: is the number that they're evicting fourteen in the last
- 11:24Speaker 2: three months, up quite a bit on last year. Ryan,
- 11:27Speaker 2: we don't care where the ko evicted tenants go. Frankly, Ryan,
- 11:31Speaker 2: why isn't the government doing anything about the issues that
- 11:33Speaker 2: private landlords are having in the immediate I'm twenty thousand
- 11:37Speaker 2: dollars behind rent, very difficult to evict, and it seems
- 11:40Speaker 2: as though Bishop is only priorities prioritizing Cayinger order. The
- 11:44Speaker 2: ninety day no Cause is still months away from reinstatement,
- 11:48Speaker 2: and that doesn't help us much right now, Jamie, thanks
- 11:50Speaker 2: for your text. Nine two is the number twenty two
- 11:52Speaker 2: after five and Andrew Orlison here is with Sport this morning.
- 11:56Speaker 8: We're in Wimbledon, right we are, and it's being complete.
- 12:00Speaker 8: So Carlos al Karrath has denied Jocovis. This is alusive
- 12:04Speaker 8: twenty fifth record breaking singles title. It's trying to, I guess,
- 12:09Speaker 8: beat Margaret Court, who's got twenty four. So elk Wrath
- 12:13Speaker 8: winning in straight sets and just taking what it took
- 12:16Speaker 8: a third set tiebreakert seven to four, but defending its
- 12:19Speaker 8: crown at s W nineteen and just in pretty convincing fashion.
- 12:23Speaker 8: So he's really it's a bit of a change in
- 12:25Speaker 8: the guard I suppose, But Djokovic no answer this morning.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I'll tell you what wasn't convincing in fashion was the
- 12:30Speaker 2: All Blacks win over end of the week. Liking your segue, Yes,
- 12:34Speaker 2: I actually went and watched it, Digit Park the blackout. Yeah,
- 12:38Speaker 2: what did you think?
- 12:39Speaker 6: Oh look, I thought.
- 12:40Speaker 2: That it was likely that Boden Barrett came on. Yeah,
- 12:45Speaker 2: I wasn't an eden Park.
- 12:46Speaker 8: I had, you know, feed up in front of the
- 12:47Speaker 8: fire at home, but a pizza and a couple of
- 12:49Speaker 8: years and it was it was most enjoyable. But yeah,
- 12:52Speaker 8: it was some well it was at least for the
- 12:54Speaker 8: most but it was bar came I thought he was
- 12:57Speaker 8: the difference really, I mean just they needed that injection
- 13:00Speaker 8: and that's really what players coming off the bench and
- 13:02Speaker 8: the impact that they can have will do and what
- 13:04Speaker 8: he's got to be one hundred and twenty five tests
- 13:06Speaker 8: to his name, and he showed why he's been one
- 13:09Speaker 8: of the greats of the game for so long. So yeah,
- 13:12Speaker 8: it wasn't much between those two teams, and that eden
- 13:14Speaker 8: Park record was looking at bit dicey. There a particular
- 13:17Speaker 8: halftime once they scored that try, it was what fourteen thirteen,
- 13:21Speaker 8: it was all go. But yeah, I mean I thought
- 13:23Speaker 8: England did really well. Oh those two tests, they certainly
- 13:26Speaker 8: parody for a large part against the All Blacks and
- 13:29Speaker 8: on police of Robertson as Wello's new coach, just being
- 13:31Speaker 8: able to come in and at least to have those
- 13:34Speaker 8: two wins to his name and to not I guess,
- 13:36Speaker 8: have the added pressure of losing an Eden Park on
- 13:39Speaker 8: the first time.
- 13:40Speaker 2: That it would be it'd been a terrible but be
- 13:42Speaker 2: awkward right very quickly because England and Spain the euro
- 13:46Speaker 2: Football Champs at seven am. That kicks off, doesn't it
- 13:49Speaker 2: this morning? Yeah, just very quickly. Who's going to win?
- 13:52Speaker 8: Well, look, I think Spain will win. I've been really
- 13:56Speaker 8: imprett Well, yeah, I think they've played quite well as
- 13:58Speaker 8: the team. I think the key stat for me was,
- 14:00Speaker 8: I think thirteen goals so far in the tournament, but
- 14:02Speaker 8: nine players have scored them. That they're working along those lines.
- 14:05Speaker 8: But I mean the romantic angle will be that England
- 14:07Speaker 8: take it out and when they're first, you know, what
- 14:10Speaker 8: was it coming home or whatever with the title last
- 14:13Speaker 8: morning in nineteen.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Sixty six for the World Cup.
- 14:15Speaker 8: But perhaps they can take the euros as well now
- 14:18Speaker 8: just to modify that.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And anyway, Andrew Ldison the Sport thanks very much every
- 14:22Speaker 2: time this morning, just round twenty four minutes after five
- 14:24Speaker 2: o'clock coming up next, are there any lessons and the
- 14:27Speaker 2: Trump shooting for us here in New Zealand.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Separating the fact from the siction Kid's Filly edition with
- 14:35Speaker 4: Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a pliant store
- 14:39Speaker 4: news talk zeb.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Just gon on twenty seven after five o'clock. Barring any
- 14:43Speaker 2: other major ugly affronts to democracy this US election season,
- 14:47Speaker 2: the image of a bloodied former president gripping his fist,
- 14:51Speaker 2: blanketed in a human shield of Secret Service agents, gripping
- 14:56Speaker 2: his fist pumping it into the air after narrowly avoiding
- 14:59Speaker 2: an assasin nation attempt will surely be one of the
- 15:01Speaker 2: most enduring and iconic He's reported that is Donald Trump
- 15:05Speaker 2: to be mouthing the words fight, fight, Fight, with a
- 15:09Speaker 2: somewhat and understandably angry look on his face. Donald Donald
- 15:14Speaker 2: Trump cheated death. What's interesting of all the eyewitness interviews
- 15:18Speaker 2: I watched over the weekend, all of them felt that
- 15:21Speaker 2: this was no surprise. It was only a matter of time.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Why is that? The Washington Post looked at in an
- 15:26Speaker 2: article the extreme language being used by both the both campaigns,
- 15:31Speaker 2: both sides of it, the extreme left and the extreme right.
- 15:33Speaker 2: After the shooting, the Republican Senator JD. Vance, who's a
- 15:36Speaker 2: potential Trump running mate, by the way, blamed the Biden
- 15:40Speaker 2: campaign for inciting this finance. He said, the central premise
- 15:44Speaker 2: of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is
- 15:46Speaker 2: an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.
- 15:50Speaker 2: That rhetoric, he says, this is a potential running mate
- 15:54Speaker 2: of Trump's. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempt
- 15:58Speaker 2: at assassination this time. We don't know the shooter's motive.
- 16:01Speaker 2: We should make clear that. But is there a lesson
- 16:03Speaker 2: here for our political leaders, for the Chloe's chanting river
- 16:07Speaker 2: to the sea, for the Maldi Party calling lux and
- 16:10Speaker 2: a white supremacist, for David Seymour who was joking about
- 16:14Speaker 2: the guy Fawkes, and the Ministry of the Pacific Peoples.
- 16:18Speaker 2: The fact is, you don't know what nutbar is out
- 16:21Speaker 2: there listening and waiting for a cause big enough to
- 16:23Speaker 2: prompt some sort of lone wolf attack.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Here.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Most of the attacks are pretty minor, you know, the
- 16:28Speaker 2: old dildo to the face, the lamington on the head.
- 16:31Speaker 2: John Key was attacked by two menu ate white tongue
- 16:33Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine. They were both charged for that.
- 16:35Speaker 2: The question is whether the use of extreme political language
- 16:39Speaker 2: can raise the temperature and cause violence. Clearly, Hitler answers
- 16:44Speaker 2: that question for us, So politicians here on the far
- 16:47Speaker 2: left like Chloe and White Titi should take note and
- 16:51Speaker 2: lower the tone of some of their attacks. But the
- 16:54Speaker 2: same goes for the far right, those keyboard warriors too.
- 16:57Speaker 2: What I would hate to see, though, is the day
- 16:59Speaker 2: where our poly peticians can't joke and take the mickey
- 17:02Speaker 2: out out of one another, speak forthrightly about their issues
- 17:06Speaker 2: and their beliefs, just because some idiot might be at
- 17:09Speaker 2: home with a shotgun harboring hate. Question for the US
- 17:13Speaker 2: now is whether does this whether it quells the extreme
- 17:17Speaker 2: left and right, or will this bloodshed be answered with
- 17:22Speaker 2: more bloodshed?
- 17:24Speaker 6: There are alone.
- 17:29Speaker 4: The first word on the News of the Day early
- 17:32Speaker 4: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
- 17:36Speaker 4: Beds and a playing store News Talk Siddy.
- 17:39Speaker 7: I remember when we were drying drumming in your car
- 17:43Speaker 7: speeds are fast fill drum seriously before us in your
- 17:48Speaker 7: arm fell around.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Good morning New Zealand. It is twenty four away from Sex.
- 17:53Speaker 2: You're on news Talk said, being with Ryan Bridge. Good
- 17:57Speaker 2: to have you on the program. We're going to speak
- 17:59Speaker 2: to Alan Lick and he is a presidential historian out
- 18:01Speaker 2: of California. Just before six o'clock. Guess how many Americans
- 18:06Speaker 2: think it's okay to use political violence for a political
- 18:08Speaker 2: leader to use political violence. It's around twenty five percent.
- 18:12Speaker 2: We break those numbers down for you just before six. Also,
- 18:16Speaker 2: we spoke last week about the conditioning units at the
- 18:19Speaker 2: Paris Olympics. You know, they weren't going to have them,
- 18:21Speaker 2: and then they decided, actually, we do need to have
- 18:23Speaker 2: air conditioning units because the athletes might be sweety and
- 18:27Speaker 2: it's bloody hot. Now there are calls for the cars
- 18:31Speaker 2: because it's Toyota that's supplying the cars for the Olympics
- 18:34Speaker 2: this time around, and they're promising to be the greenest
- 18:37Speaker 2: ever Olympics. Of course, so Toyota is supplying the official fleet,
- 18:41Speaker 2: which includes five hundred Marie cars. These are hydrogen powered cars,
- 18:46Speaker 2: and one hundred and twenty scientists and academics, etc. Have
- 18:50Speaker 2: written a letter to the French and they have said
- 18:54Speaker 2: this undermines your green game's call. They say that hydrogen
- 18:59Speaker 2: emits zero carbon at the tailpipe, but ninety six percent
- 19:03Speaker 2: of the world's hydrogen it's still derived from fossil fuels
- 19:06Speaker 2: like methane gas. They actually say they're worse than evs
- 19:10Speaker 2: and only marginally better than a combustion engine. So they
- 19:13Speaker 2: want them to change the fleet. And I'm sitting here,
- 19:15Speaker 2: I'm reading all these stories about the Olympics and I'm thinking,
- 19:17Speaker 2: I just don't care. I honestly don't care. What has
- 19:21Speaker 2: climate change got to do with the Olympics. All I
- 19:24Speaker 2: want to do is see somebody run really really fast.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I want to see who makes the tiniest little splash
- 19:29Speaker 2: in the pool when they do the diving, And I
- 19:32Speaker 2: want to see whether they successfully pass that battern from
- 19:35Speaker 2: one person to the next, not what car they're driven therein.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I honestly just do not care. It's just gone twenty
- 19:42Speaker 2: two minutes away from six o'clock Rainbridge. We're going to
- 19:46Speaker 2: our reporters and colums first into Needing this morning. Calum,
- 19:49Speaker 2: the new boss of otago UNI's looking to give back
- 19:52Speaker 2: to the Institute.
- 19:54Speaker 9: Yeah, morning, Ryan. This is former Labor Finance Minister Grant Robertson.
- 19:57Speaker 9: He's been in the job of vice Chancellor for a
- 20:00Speaker 9: couple of weeks now. He graduated from OTAGA of course
- 20:03Speaker 9: back in nineteen ninety five and is the first non
- 20:06Speaker 9: academic candidate appointed to this role. Grant Robertson says he'll
- 20:10Speaker 9: be giving up a portion of his salary to put
- 20:13Speaker 9: towards a students scholarship. He says he's having conversations with
- 20:17Speaker 9: staff about that to work out the final details of
- 20:19Speaker 9: just how it will operate.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Big salary though A. I think it's close to eight
- 20:23Speaker 2: hundred k. Here's he's on there at least. The last
- 20:26Speaker 2: one was how's the weather looking for today in Tonedin?
- 20:29Speaker 9: Mainly find cloud increasing with possible shells later nor Easterly's
- 20:33Speaker 9: in a high of eleven today.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Thanks Callum and Claire Sherwoods and christ Church for us
- 20:36Speaker 2: this morning. The act MPs who's a bid to ban
- 20:41Speaker 2: regional councils from planning for climate change is getting some
- 20:44Speaker 2: up in arms.
- 20:45Speaker 10: Clear Yes, well, Mark Cameron's has submitted a Cameron's Bill
- 20:49Speaker 10: Cameron's Bill a Member's bill rather Ryan to amend the
- 20:52Speaker 10: Resource Management Act. He says the law stifles productivity and
- 20:56Speaker 10: allows councils to impose a patchwork of land use restriction.
- 21:00Speaker 10: But down here in Canterbury Environment, Canterbury Councilor Greg Burns
- 21:04Speaker 10: says recent long term planning submissions have actually shown that
- 21:07Speaker 10: climate change action is highly demanded from locals. He says
- 21:11Speaker 10: Cameron's bill is completely out of step from what the
- 21:13Speaker 10: average person wants from their elected officials.
- 21:16Speaker 2: All Right, weather today, Claire, pretty.
- 21:18Speaker 10: Cloudy and showers here in christ Church, northeasterlys with a
- 21:21Speaker 10: high of eleven and five overnight.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Max Tollers and Wellington for us.
- 21:26Speaker 2: The Reading Cinema site is up for Salemax.
- 21:29Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, Ryan.
- 21:30Speaker 5: This derelict of Reading Cinema complex from Courtney Place, the
- 21:33Speaker 5: subject of a failed a City council project to restore it,
- 21:37Speaker 5: has hit the open market. The mayor Tory final had
- 21:41Speaker 5: wined and dined Reading execs not too long ago help
- 21:44Speaker 5: put together this deal to buy the land for thirty
- 21:46Speaker 5: two million dollars, which would essentially fund Reading's renovation costs.
- 21:51Speaker 5: But councilors swiftly realized it was a bit bogus, so
- 21:55Speaker 5: You've now got one and a half hectares a freehold
- 21:58Speaker 5: land on the Capital's Golden Mile up for sale and
- 22:01Speaker 5: area of stagnation to say the least. But I suppose
- 22:04Speaker 5: that's largely thanks to Redding itself closing in twenty nineteen
- 22:07Speaker 5: due to quake risks. One roof has the listing expressions
- 22:10Speaker 5: of interest till mid August.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Any idea on a price, what it might be worth?
- 22:15Speaker 5: I mean, with the state of it, I think Reading
- 22:18Speaker 5: should almost be paying someone else to take it off
- 22:20Speaker 5: its hands. Weather today max cloud, increasing rain this evening
- 22:25Speaker 5: fourteen the high Central.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Thanks. Let's go to Lockey Rennie, who is in the
- 22:30Speaker 2: pub this morning in Auckland Lockey. Good morning morning Ryan.
- 22:34Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm here at the Foxfire London themed pub here
- 22:36Speaker 11: at the Viaduct and watching English fans and just starting
- 22:39Speaker 11: to arrive here to watch England take on Spain at
- 22:42Speaker 11: Berlin Olympia Stadium. This game will be the first time
- 22:45Speaker 11: England has reached a finite for England and England will
- 22:47Speaker 11: have only one World Cup wind with no European Championship
- 22:50Speaker 11: win behind them or Spain are three time European champions.
- 22:54Speaker 11: Now to chat to the manager Scott Bennett here at
- 22:56Speaker 11: the Fox Who. It's been booked out since last week
- 22:58Speaker 11: and he's been starting with England Football pub quids fans
- 23:01Speaker 11: and getting some English classics playing here as the anticipation.
- 23:05Speaker 11: Anticipation boot here for the seven am kickoff.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Sounds like a fun morning. I doubt they'll be going
- 23:09Speaker 2: to work today. Weather for the City of Sales this morning,
- 23:14Speaker 2: so we've.
- 23:14Speaker 11: Got some rain here this morning and it's possibly Huvy
- 23:17Speaker 11: clearing to find stars this afternoon with strong lead throughout
- 23:20Speaker 11: the day with the highest succeed to that.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Thanks Lockie, Lochoreeni and Auckland for us. Just gone eighteen
- 23:25Speaker 2: minutes away from six o'clock. We're back in the UK
- 23:27Speaker 2: with Gavin Gray next. Welcome back. Sixteen away from six. Now,
- 23:31Speaker 2: as you inched closer to retirement, it's natural to start
- 23:33Speaker 2: thinking about your finances and those questions that pop up
- 23:36Speaker 2: from time to time, especially with today's cost of living.
- 23:39Speaker 2: How much will I need? Have I got enough? How
- 23:41Speaker 2: long will it last? They can be pretty confronting questions,
- 23:45Speaker 2: but you're not alone. They're on most people's minds as
- 23:47Speaker 2: retirement approaches, and while it's difficult to answer these questions

- 24:23Speaker 2: Labor is preparing the King's Speech in the UK. This
- 24:26Speaker 2: is Keir Starmer's new Labor government with twenty five to
- 24:29Speaker 2: thirty bills reportedly going to be introduced Kevin Gray's in
- 24:32Speaker 2: the UK for US, Kevin, what are they looking at?
- 24:35Speaker 2: What are they going to start with?
- 24:37Speaker 12: R and it's looking like a list of pretty much
- 24:39Speaker 12: what they promised at the start. We don't know yet.
- 24:41Speaker 12: This is ahead of Wednesday's king Speech. The king Speech
- 24:45Speaker 12: is basically when the government of the day outlines its
- 24:48Speaker 12: a legislative program what it hopes to achieve in that time,
- 24:52Speaker 12: so it looks like we're going to get new promises
- 24:56Speaker 12: on house building. Big shortage of housing over here, difficult
- 25:00Speaker 12: for first time buyers to get on the ladder, and
- 25:02Speaker 12: one way this government is determined to do it is
- 25:04Speaker 12: to build more houses. The question is we're a small country,
- 25:07Speaker 12: so where are you going to put them? Improving transport
- 25:10Speaker 12: that'll be pretty popular, particularly some of the links outside
- 25:13Speaker 12: of London which are so good, and also increasing jobs
- 25:16Speaker 12: and securing clean energy. They want to set up a
- 25:19Speaker 12: sort of national GB Energy company and are really driving
- 25:23Speaker 12: towards more solar energy and more on shore solar and
- 25:30Speaker 12: more onshore wind as well. Many people again very concerned
- 25:33Speaker 12: about what our countryside is going to look like. Thirty
- 25:36Speaker 12: five bills in total. We'll wait to see what comes out.
- 25:38Speaker 2: All right, and of course in an hour and about
- 25:40Speaker 2: an hour and fifteen you're going to be quite busy
- 25:42Speaker 2: watching the telly I mentioned.
- 25:44Speaker 12: Yes, so the Euro's final between England and Spain. Of
- 25:48Speaker 12: course I have to say you Spain are the bookie's
- 25:52Speaker 12: favorites eleven to eight, on England thirteen to ten. So
- 25:56Speaker 12: a little bit in it, not too much. As we
- 25:58Speaker 12: go into this, it's been even of fifty eight years
- 26:02Speaker 12: since England last won a major championship. You have to
- 26:05Speaker 12: go back to the World Cup of nineteen sixty six.
- 26:08Speaker 12: There have been four hundred and fifty seven players who
- 26:10Speaker 12: have represented England since then, and well eleven managers as well,
- 26:16Speaker 12: so it's been a time of course. I have to
- 26:19Speaker 12: say that the English play so far haven't been great
- 26:23Speaker 12: in the tournament. They've managed to get through, but it
- 26:25Speaker 12: has been pretty negative and defensive at times. The Spanish
- 26:28Speaker 12: play is completely opposite, very open, very free, flowing, very quick.
- 26:33Speaker 12: It'll be interesting to see these two sides come head
- 26:35Speaker 12: to head in an iron ten.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Good luck, Kevin Devin Gray, are you can europe correspondent
- 26:39Speaker 2: with US live from London. It's to Scarne, twelve minutes
- 26:42Speaker 2: away from at six o'clock Bryan Bridge. Donald Trump, as
- 26:47Speaker 2: you will know by now, has been shot in an
- 26:49Speaker 2: assassination attempt, the first on a current or former president
- 26:52Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty one, when Ronald Reagan was shot just
- 26:56Speaker 2: two months after being sworn in the government. Has been
- 26:58Speaker 2: identified as twenty year old Thomas Crooks. He was shot
- 27:01Speaker 2: dead on site. US President Joe Biden has spoken to
- 27:05Speaker 2: Trump and Biden's campaign has suspended all attack ads following
- 27:09Speaker 2: the attempted assassination. Joining me now from California is US
- 27:12Speaker 2: presidential historian Alan Lightman, Alan, thank you very much for
- 27:16Speaker 2: being with me. What generally happens? I mean, there have
- 27:19Speaker 2: been lots of attempts and some of them successful in
- 27:22Speaker 2: the past. What generally happens after something like this? Is
- 27:26Speaker 2: there more bloodshed? Does the temperature go up even further?
- 27:34Speaker 2: I think we may have lost Allan there. We'll come
- 27:37Speaker 2: back to him. Alan, can you hear me? Okay, I'm
- 27:39Speaker 2: just asking what generally happens after an attempt like this?
- 27:44Speaker 13: Yes, As I said, political violence has been endemic in
- 27:49Speaker 13: modern America. You know, seven years ago Republican representative Scalis
- 27:55Speaker 13: were shot. More recently, there was this horrific hammer attack
- 27:59Speaker 13: on the high husband of former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
- 28:05Speaker 14: The attacker was trying to kill Pelosi.
- 28:08Speaker 13: And of course, the worst example of recent political violence
- 28:13Speaker 13: was perpetrated by Donald Trump himself, inciting the January sixth insurrection,
- 28:20Speaker 13: sitting for three hours and letting the mayhem take place,
- 28:23Speaker 13: ignoring his own supporters telling him to stop inciting the
- 28:27Speaker 13: rioters by an inflammatory tweet about Vice President Mike Pence
- 28:32Speaker 13: when they were shouting hanging Mike Pence. The violence resulted
- 28:37Speaker 13: in injuries to more than one hundred and forty police
- 28:40Speaker 13: officers and several direct or indirect deaths. Now, the question
- 28:46Speaker 13: is will this attempt further polarize the country or can
- 28:51Speaker 13: it possibly bring us together? There is a positive model.
- 28:56Speaker 13: You mentioned the shooting of Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty one.
- 29:00Speaker 13: His press secretary, a staunch conservative Republican, James Brady, was
- 29:05Speaker 13: grievously wounded. Instead of seeking revenge or attacking his political opponents,
- 29:11Speaker 13: he formed the Brady Campaign for Gun Control and for
- 29:15Speaker 13: a while brought the country together in an effort to
- 29:20Speaker 13: stop the epidemic of gun violence in America. We got
- 29:24Speaker 13: the assault weapons ban, which sadly has been suspended. And
- 29:27Speaker 13: by the way, the weapon that was used in this
- 29:30Speaker 13: assassination attempt and the killing of an attendee was an
- 29:33Speaker 13: assault weapon. We got the Brady Bill on background checks,
- 29:38Speaker 13: but unfortunately there's been no progress since then. And could
- 29:42Speaker 13: we now come together and stopping gun violence, which is
- 29:47Speaker 13: a major cost of the deaths of our children?
- 29:50Speaker 14: An American overall.
- 29:52Speaker 13: Is twenty times, not twenty percent, twenty times.
- 29:56Speaker 14: More likely to be killed murdered by gun.
- 30:00Speaker 13: Than residents of our closest pure countries, which also have
- 30:04Speaker 13: mental health and drug problems. The difference is guns. Can
- 30:10Speaker 13: we replicate what James Brady did?
- 30:12Speaker 2: Ellen The October poll by the Public Religion Research Institute
- 30:17Speaker 2: and the Brookings Institution found that one in four Americans
- 30:20Speaker 2: agreed with this sentence, true American patriots may have to
- 30:25Speaker 2: resort to violence in order to save our country. So
- 30:27Speaker 2: that was thirteen percent of Democratic voters and thirty three
- 30:31Speaker 2: percent of Republicans who agreed with that. How do you
- 30:35Speaker 2: navigate an election cycle when you've got people with such
- 30:39Speaker 2: extreme views.
- 30:42Speaker 13: It's very sad, and that's why we have so much
- 30:44Speaker 13: endemic political violence.
- 30:47Speaker 14: And the only answer.
- 30:48Speaker 13: Is to do what James Brady did, organized organized persuade
- 30:56Speaker 13: vote for those who are willing to deal with gun violence.
- 31:00Speaker 13: It's a very difficult issue because the gun lobby, the
- 31:05Speaker 13: gun manufacturers have a death grip on so many of
- 31:08Speaker 13: our politicians. But if the movement gains momentum as well,
- 31:13Speaker 13: it should because a majority of Americans, how awhelming majority
- 31:18Speaker 13: of Americans believe in reasonable gun control. So if you
- 31:23Speaker 13: can get a political movement going. I wrote a whole
- 31:25Speaker 13: book about this repeal the Second Amendment, the case for
- 31:30Speaker 13: a Save for America.
- 31:31Speaker 14: We're not going to get a repeal of the.
- 31:33Speaker 13: Second Amendment, but if we get a movement going, that's
- 31:37Speaker 13: how change occurs. That's how you've got the great civil
- 31:41Speaker 13: rights initiatives of the nineteen sixties.
- 31:45Speaker 14: For example.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Right, Alan, thank you very much for your time this morning.
- 31:48Speaker 2: That is out of California. US presidential historian Allen Lightman.
- 31:53Speaker 2: The time is seven away from six. Mike Costkin next.
- 32:00Speaker 4: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you for twenty
- 32:03Speaker 4: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
- 32:07Speaker 4: furniture beds and a player store.
- 32:09Speaker 2: News Talk said, be welcome back five to six Mike
- 32:12Speaker 2: hosting the mic hosting breakfast starts next. Good morning, Mike,
- 32:16Speaker 2: so good.
- 32:17Speaker 6: To see you're living the dream. Has this worked out
- 32:18Speaker 6: well for you?
- 32:19Speaker 2: I think so? It was a pretty rough start last Monday,
- 32:23Speaker 2: was it?
- 32:23Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 32:23Speaker 2: But a little shaky, little nervous. Reviews and reviews have been.
- 32:26Speaker 6: Pretty good, solid out of ten. What are you giving
- 32:29Speaker 6: yourself so far?
- 32:30Speaker 5: Say?
- 32:30Speaker 2: I'm giving myself about a six and a half.
- 32:32Speaker 6: There you go, six and a half done, don't overmark yourself.
- 32:34Speaker 2: No, yeah, for improvement.
- 32:36Speaker 6: Glad you're enjoying it. So we're standing by for Biden
- 32:38Speaker 6: any moment, of course to say presumably he's going to
- 32:40Speaker 6: say what he said yesterday, which was the big question.
- 32:43Speaker 6: Is it seems to me that how the guy got
- 32:46Speaker 6: on the roof, that's the stuff that came out of
- 32:48Speaker 6: yesterday in the sense that we've served from a million witnesses.
- 32:51Speaker 6: But how did the guy get on the roof and
- 32:53Speaker 6: somebody let them down badly? And so that'll be taken
- 32:55Speaker 6: care of what I'm assuming. And the other interesting thing,
- 32:58Speaker 6: there's no connection. The kid's got no criminal record. He's
- 33:02Speaker 6: not connected to anything anybody. It's not like a track
- 33:05Speaker 6: record where you look and see hold on, you know,
- 33:07Speaker 6: something was going wrong there and somebody missed it. He
- 33:09Speaker 6: just seemed to be a you know, a regular registered
- 33:11Speaker 6: Republican donated to the Democrats. Next thing, he's on a
- 33:15Speaker 6: roof and he's dead.
- 33:16Speaker 2: This is the thing, and they say that, you know,
- 33:18Speaker 2: increasingly these types of shooters are not are not actually
- 33:21Speaker 2: part of any group. They're just looking online at the
- 33:24Speaker 2: going on YouTube and then before you know it, they're
- 33:26Speaker 2: on top of the that's.
- 33:27Speaker 6: A big question this morning. Nick Bryant, by the way,
- 33:29Speaker 6: our old mate from the BBC. He's no one's covered
- 33:31Speaker 6: America more than him, so he's will us on this
- 33:33Speaker 6: this morning, brilliant.
