- 0:20Speaker 2: too close to America? Tony Johnson on the Lucky Loser,
- 0:24Speaker 2: the new Super Rugby quarter final format. We'll get to
- 0:26Speaker 2: him shortly. New research out this morning on vape fluid
- 0:30Speaker 2: and it's if you've got a kid who vapes, it's
- 0:32Speaker 2: sort of the opposite of what you would expect. We'll
- 0:35Speaker 2: explain that shortly. Trump is talking to Mertz in the
- 0:39Speaker 2: White House. She on the phone and about Elon Musk.
- 0:42Speaker 2: We've got audio for you. Apparently Elon Musk has just
- 0:44Speaker 2: come out and said Trump would have lost the election
- 0:47Speaker 2: if it went for him. So thank you Elon Musk.
- 0:50Speaker 2: And Vincent mcavnie is in the UK for us this morning.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:56Speaker 2: It is Friday the sixth, the Joune. Trump signed a
- 0:58Speaker 2: travel band for citizens from twelve countries. We don't want them.
- 1:03Speaker 3: In the twenty first century, we've seen one terror attack
- 1:06Speaker 3: after another carried out by foreign visa overstairs from dangerous
- 1:11Speaker 3: places all over the world, and thanks to Biden's open
- 1:15Speaker 3: door policies, today there are millions and millions of these
- 1:19Speaker 3: illegals who should not be in our country.
- 1:21Speaker 2: The countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Saddan and Yemen. Meanwhile, Mertsis
- 1:26Speaker 2: is the German townsla He's been sitting down with Trump
- 1:29Speaker 2: them the Oval Office. We owe the Americans a lot.
- 1:32Speaker 4: We will never forget about that, and so with your
- 1:35Speaker 4: German provenance, I think this is a very good basis
- 1:38Speaker 4: for close cooperation between American and Germany. Will publicly with
- 1:42Speaker 4: a trade deal or or we'll do something. You know,
- 1:45Speaker 4: we'll do the tariffs. I mean, I'm okay with the tariffs,
- 1:47Speaker 4: or we make a deal with the trade.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Either way, Germany needs a lifeline. The ECB cut their
- 1:53Speaker 2: rates over nine. I'll get to that in a second.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Here in New Zealand, Tapati Maldi. The suspension saga only
- 2:00Speaker 2: over with the full punishment handed done last night, but
- 2:03Speaker 2: not before Samaji Budgie in the house.
- 2:05Speaker 5: I'm glad the act party we're in summer data.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I think that's the whole point.
- 2:09Speaker 5: I'm doing a haka not to get out of your
- 2:11Speaker 5: seats and start going up to other members of the
- 2:14Speaker 5: House and try to intimidate them with your chiefer little finger.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
- 2:21Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make
- 2:25Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple News.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Talk said Bee, how respectable. Not nice to hear. Welcome
- 2:33Speaker 2: to your Friday. First, we'll just play a little bit
- 2:35Speaker 2: from because we haven't heard from Donald Trump in a week.
- 2:37Speaker 2: He hasn't had a press conference, which is most unlike him.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Normally there are a daily occurrence. But he's met with
- 2:43Speaker 2: Mertz in the White House, and I was obviously asked
- 2:45Speaker 2: about Elon Musk and the bromance. And as the romance over,
- 2:48Speaker 2: here's what he had to say.
- 2:49Speaker 4: He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it
- 2:51Speaker 4: better than almost anybody, and he never had a problem
- 2:54Speaker 4: until right after he left. And if you saw the
- 2:57Speaker 4: statements you made about me, which I'm sure you can
- 2:59Speaker 4: get very so it's very fresh on tape, he said
- 3:03Speaker 4: the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn't said
- 3:05Speaker 4: bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next.
- 3:08Speaker 4: But I'm very disappointed in Elin.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I've helped Ilan a lot.
- 3:12Speaker 2: So Elin must just tweet it apparently, whatever to Trump's comments,
- 3:16Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter it does it. It's just interesting
- 3:18Speaker 2: because they're both really rich and really powerful, and this
- 3:22Speaker 2: was always going to happen. Just gone nine minutes after five,
- 3:25Speaker 2: So Japan has recorded its lowest number of births in
- 3:28Speaker 2: more than a century. They've had problems with population for
- 3:32Speaker 2: a long time now, been well documented. But Berth's six
- 3:35Speaker 2: hundred and eighty six twenty twenty four. That's a five
- 3:38Speaker 2: point seven percent drop on the previous year, the lowest
- 3:44Speaker 2: since they started keeping records in eighteen ninety nine. So
- 3:47Speaker 2: the problem is not going away, and they've been trying
- 3:50Speaker 2: to boost the population, encouraging families to have children. They
- 3:54Speaker 2: have fewer marriages, which is obviously a problem, but the
- 3:57Speaker 2: biggest problem is just it cost too much. The fatilla
- 4:00Speaker 2: he rate one point one five that's down from one
- 4:03Speaker 2: point two in twenty twenty three, and the number that
- 4:06Speaker 2: they need to replace themselves is two point one, so
- 4:10Speaker 2: they're way off it. Fewer marriages. I was talking to
- 4:14Speaker 2: Paul Spoonley the other day, and you know, the population
- 4:17Speaker 2: expert in New Zealand. He said, there are more this
- 4:19Speaker 2: is in New Zealand. More women over forty now giving
- 4:23Speaker 2: birth than women under twenty. Isn't that fascinating how quickly
- 4:27Speaker 2: that has turned around. He also said that thirty percent
- 4:30Speaker 2: of women are choosing not to have children at all,
- 4:34Speaker 2: like they will never be mothers, which has gone up
- 4:37Speaker 2: dramatically over the years. The main reason is it's more expensive.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Friend of mine has got two kids, and I was
- 4:43Speaker 2: talking to her at the weekend about this and she said,
- 4:45Speaker 2: a third What did she say, baby number three or
- 4:49Speaker 2: the third child is the new Burken, you know those
- 4:52Speaker 2: expensive handbags that that wealthy people buy. The third baby
- 4:58Speaker 2: is the new Berken because they're just so damn expensive.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's why no one is having them anymore.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Eleven minutes after five news talks there b we're going
- 5:08Speaker 2: to get to I've got some Adrian Rudafi clips to
- 5:12Speaker 2: play from Parliament because he was the most sensible one.
- 5:14Speaker 2: We'll get to those this morning. But coming up next
- 5:17Speaker 2: it's that new research on the vape juice. If you've
- 5:20Speaker 2: got kids who vape, you'll want to hear what's in it.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
- 5:27Speaker 1: Bridge and One Roof Make your Property Search simple News TALKSB.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Five point thirteen on News Talks THEB we'll never keep
- 5:34Speaker 2: up with the NATO allies when it comes to spending
- 5:38Speaker 2: on defense. They are apparently close to agreeing. This is
- 5:41Speaker 2: according to Pete Higgseth, the Defense sectree in the US
- 5:45Speaker 2: close to agreeing to five percent of GDP in the
- 5:48Speaker 2: next decade on defense. We just got to two. So
- 5:52Speaker 2: we're always going to be playing catch up, aren't we.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Not that we're a member of NATO, we're just a
- 5:56Speaker 2: partner in the in this region. But geez, we were
- 6:00Speaker 2: already behind, and we're about to be much more behind
- 6:03Speaker 2: than we were before. Fourteen after five. So you studied
- 6:06Speaker 2: in the medical journals found more than half of vape
- 6:09Speaker 2: juices have been labeled with the wrong concentration of nicotine,
- 6:12Speaker 2: but not in the way that you would think. It's
- 6:14Speaker 2: with less nicotine than advertised, not more. They reckon this
- 6:18Speaker 2: is a bad thing because it could mean that vapors
- 6:21Speaker 2: vape more often or even revert to smoking. Cheryl Robinson
- 6:25Speaker 2: is co founder of Vape Free Kids with Me this morning.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Hey Cheryl, good morning, Ryan. Good to have you on
- 6:31Speaker 2: the show. I thought this was surprising because you would
- 6:34Speaker 2: think that they would load it with more nicotine so
- 6:36Speaker 2: that you are more addicted.
- 6:40Speaker 6: Well, I think they've probably got a lot of money
- 6:42Speaker 6: to find out what works better to addict people. It's
- 6:46Speaker 6: no surprise or no secret that we don't trust a
- 6:49Speaker 6: lot of what this industry get up to. But it's
- 6:52Speaker 6: very worrying to think that.
- 6:54Speaker 7: There are regularities on the labeling of their products and
- 6:58Speaker 7: what is actually cont painting them, whether that's nicotine level
- 7:02Speaker 7: or other chemicals that aren't stated, it's it's it's worrying.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Do you think they're doing it on purpose? Do you
- 7:09Speaker 2: think that they're purposely undercooking what the nicotine level is
- 7:14Speaker 2: so that people will do it more often, therefore buy
- 7:17Speaker 2: more product and also you know, get more addicted.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Well, I'm no expert on how the intricacies of how
- 7:27Speaker 6: nicotine levels impact a person's addiction level, but what I
- 7:34Speaker 6: have learned over the last few years that this industry
- 7:36Speaker 6: don't do anything by accident. Everything they do is very intentional.
- 7:41Speaker 6: And you know, we've we've we're neutral when it comes
- 7:44Speaker 6: to adults of aaping, and it's it's hard. If this
- 7:48Speaker 6: has been touted as a quit smoking tool, it makes
- 7:52Speaker 6: it a bit difficult for those who are using it
- 7:55Speaker 6: as such to be able to monitor the take their
- 8:00Speaker 6: nicotine intake and use it effectively as a quick smoking
- 8:03Speaker 6: toll if they can't be confident there what it sees
- 8:06Speaker 6: on the package is what they're actually getting. It's quite
- 8:11Speaker 6: a precise, a precise thing to try and do to
- 8:15Speaker 6: monitor your intake to give up an addiction. And even
- 8:19Speaker 6: more worryingly for us as children are, our main concern
- 8:22Speaker 6: here is there is no funded support for quitting vaping
- 8:29Speaker 6: for use, and so there's families out there going it alone.
- 8:33Speaker 6: And that's hard enough without not being able to have
- 8:37Speaker 6: confidence on how much NICOTINEA is in the product that
- 8:39Speaker 6: you're using to try and wean your child off.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Yeah, because normally you kind of need to know what
- 8:45Speaker 2: your dose is before you can start to tape your
- 8:48Speaker 2: way off it. And if you don't know what your
- 8:49Speaker 2: doses and that becomes very difficult. Cheryl, I appreciate your
- 8:52Speaker 2: time this morning. Thanks for coming on the show. Cheryl Robinson,
- 8:54Speaker 2: co founder of Vape Free Kids. It is seventeen after five,
- 8:58Speaker 2: you're on News Talk to be We'll get to Tieanie
- 9:00Speaker 2: Johnson next on Super Rugby the new format quarter Finals
- 9:04Speaker 2: this weekend on.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
- 9:10Speaker 1: Bridge and One Roof to make your property search simple.
- 9:14Speaker 2: If you talk said be, it's a Vincent Mcaviniy are
- 9:17Speaker 2: UK europe correspondent after the News at five point thirty,
- 9:19Speaker 2: just gone nineteen after Now the European Central Bank and
- 9:23Speaker 2: we will touch on this with Vincent. The ECB has
- 9:25Speaker 2: cut interest rates. This is the eighth time that they've
- 9:28Speaker 2: done it in a year. They've cut their rates to
- 9:30Speaker 2: two percent. The problem is growth. It's partly to do
- 9:33Speaker 2: with the Trump's trade war. But France, Germany and Italy
- 9:38Speaker 2: are all week. Germany is your big boy in Europe,
- 9:42Speaker 2: the biggest economy and only G seven economy that didn't
- 9:46Speaker 2: grow over the last two years. Germany insolvencies. They are
- 9:51Speaker 2: expected to increase eleven percent this year. They had numbers
- 9:54Speaker 2: out this week. So the ECB rate now half that
- 9:57Speaker 2: of the UK and half that of the more than
- 10:00Speaker 2: half that of the US. Trying to give it a
- 10:03Speaker 2: bit of a tickle up, really the Eurozone because they
- 10:06Speaker 2: could use it and they're worried about what's happening with Trump.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Mertz has been obviously trying to do his part in
- 10:12Speaker 2: a meeting with Trump at the Oval Office this morning,
- 10:14Speaker 2: just gone twenty alf to five Ran. Yeah, it's the
- 10:17Speaker 2: Super Rugby quarter finals this weekend, starting with the Crusaders
- 10:20Speaker 2: and Reds. Tonight the Hurricanes are in Canberra taking on
- 10:23Speaker 2: the Brumbies and then we have a repeat of the
- 10:26Speaker 2: nail Biden match last year from the Blues and the
- 10:28Speaker 2: Chiefs on Saturday. Rugby commentator Tony Johnson with me this morning.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Hey Tony, morning, Ryan. Good to have you on the
- 10:34Speaker 2: show as always. First of all, the you know this
- 10:36Speaker 2: lucky loser, the new format. Why are we doing this?
- 10:41Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's not really quarterfinals this year they called
- 10:43Speaker 8: qualifying finals. They had to cut it back. They couldn't
- 10:46Speaker 8: have eighteens in last year because eight, remember we've only
- 10:49Speaker 8: got eleven teams this year, that would have been ridiculous,
- 10:52Speaker 8: so they've gone for six. I don't think they've got
- 10:54Speaker 8: it quite right, but it's probably better to have six
- 10:58Speaker 8: and you have a lucky loser, which means the highest
- 11:00Speaker 8: ranked of the team's beaten this weekend gets to fight again.
- 11:05Speaker 8: And of course if that's the Chiefs that qualifiers, they'd
- 11:07Speaker 8: still get a home semi final next week. So look,
- 11:11Speaker 8: as I say, I don't think it's a flawless way
- 11:13Speaker 8: of doing it, but it's a step in the right direction.
- 11:16Speaker 8: I'm sure they'll probably refine it for next year.
- 11:18Speaker 2: All right, who are your favorites this weekend? Tony?
- 11:21Speaker 8: Okay? Well, first of all, the two New Zealand teams
- 11:24Speaker 8: playing at home. Chiefs they play the Blues. Now it's
- 11:27Speaker 8: a rerun of last year's final in which the Blues
- 11:31Speaker 8: absolutely crushed the Chiefs, so they'll be up for revenge.
- 11:34Speaker 8: They are in a better place to do it this
- 11:35Speaker 8: year probably. Blues have struggled a bit, but they played
- 11:39Speaker 8: their best game of the season last year against last
- 11:42Speaker 8: week against the Warritas. Chiefs all the way through have
- 11:45Speaker 8: looked the team to beat. So that's tomorrow night in Hamilton,
- 11:50Speaker 8: a big one tonight. Crusaders they take on the Reds.
- 11:55Speaker 8: The problem with the Reds is that they've got the
- 11:57Speaker 8: way to history against them. Nineteen times Australian teams have
- 12:01Speaker 8: come to New Zealand over the thirty years of Super Rugby.
- 12:05Speaker 8: They've played nineteen playoff games in New Zealand and haven't
- 12:08Speaker 8: won one of them. And the Crusaders get Will Jordan
- 12:12Speaker 8: Fletcher new All back for that one. And then there's
- 12:15Speaker 8: the game between the Brumbies and the Hurricanes, and that's
- 12:20Speaker 8: the tough one. The Hurricans have to try and win
- 12:23Speaker 8: in Canberra, where the Brumbies don't lose many unfortunately for them.
- 12:27Speaker 8: After last week a very controversial game, the Brumbies were
- 12:30Speaker 8: beaten by the Crusaders, a refereeing decision that's got everyone
- 12:34Speaker 8: up at arms, and so the crowd, which can be
- 12:36Speaker 8: pretty fair at times, they're going to be riding all
- 12:38Speaker 8: over the referee from start to finish. And of course
- 12:42Speaker 8: the Hurricans, they have been an outstanding form. I think
- 12:46Speaker 8: they are a chance to win it, but it won't
- 12:48Speaker 8: be easy. So I think three pretty juicy looking games
- 12:50Speaker 8: we've got lined up this weekend.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Yeah, not a bad way to go. Not a bad
- 12:54Speaker 2: weekend the head and who do you think is going
- 12:55Speaker 2: to take out the whole competition? Can you make a
- 12:57Speaker 2: call yet? The Chiefs? You said the Chiefs are looking
- 12:59Speaker 2: pretty to have been all season.
- 13:01Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd still have them as slight favorites. But the
- 13:05Speaker 8: thing about this Super rugby this year, Ryan has just
- 13:08Speaker 8: been so unpredictable. Teams have really found it difficult to
- 13:12Speaker 8: win more than three or four games in a row,
- 13:14Speaker 8: and there've been a lot of upsets, and so I
- 13:16Speaker 8: don't think you can put anything down for certain. I
- 13:19Speaker 8: wouldn't be telling anyone to put any money anywhere at
- 13:22Speaker 8: the moment because there's always room for an upset. But
- 13:24Speaker 8: I still I do think the Chiefs, particularly if they
- 13:28Speaker 8: can maintain home advantage, then I think they are definitely
- 13:31Speaker 8: the team to beat, and I'd probably favor a Chiefs
- 13:35Speaker 8: Crusader's Final, but you know that depends on the Hurricanes
- 13:39Speaker 8: because they have been an outstanding form. They've been so
- 13:42Speaker 8: good to watch. They've been playing a dynamic brand of rugby.
- 13:45Speaker 8: If they can upset that the Brundies tomorrow night, then
- 13:50Speaker 8: that carries that on there. Any trouble is is that
- 13:52Speaker 8: the way the thing's been done with Thug If that's
- 13:54Speaker 8: the lucky loser game, you'll get to that game and
- 13:57Speaker 8: it won't matter who wins or who loses, which is
- 13:59Speaker 8: a bit of a shame, as I say, I think
- 14:01Speaker 8: they've got that wrong. But now I'm still at the
- 14:04Speaker 8: stage leaning towards the Chief Crusader's Final. Chief slight favorites,
- 14:08Speaker 8: but I think anything can happen from this point and
- 14:10Speaker 8: that's the beauty of it.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Tony, appreciate your time this morning. Thanks as always, Tony Johnson,
- 14:14Speaker 2: Rugby commentator. It is twenty four minutes after five. Ye're
- 14:17Speaker 2: on News Talks VB. Don Brash on the show just
- 14:20Speaker 2: before six this morning, and you might be thinking, why
- 14:22Speaker 2: Don Brack. He has co signed a letter. You know,
- 14:27Speaker 2: every now and then him and Halen Clark will come
- 14:29Speaker 2: together and sign a letter and put it in the newspaper.
- 14:31Speaker 2: They've done that again. And this is about, you know,
- 14:33Speaker 2: we're getting too close to America at the expense of
- 14:36Speaker 2: our relationship with China, our trading relationship with China. So
- 14:40Speaker 2: he's on the show just before six this morning to
- 14:42Speaker 2: explain why.
- 14:44Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio power
- 14:48Speaker 1: by News Talks IBB.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Five twenty seven News Talks VB. Well, that was as
- 14:54Speaker 2: chaotic as you would expect. I caught the first half
- 14:57Speaker 2: of Parliament's debate on hucker Gate yesterday afternoon. Winston Peters
- 15:01Speaker 2: went full attack dog, Willie Jackson fought back White had
- 15:05Speaker 2: he brought a noose into the chamber as a prop
- 15:09Speaker 2: and Adrian Udhafi, the former speaker Labor MP. He had
- 15:13Speaker 2: the most sensible and respectable take of the debate. I thought.
- 15:18Speaker 2: I've had the pleasure of meeting interviewing him a couple
- 15:20Speaker 2: of times over the years. He's a really humble guy, quiet,
- 15:24Speaker 2: quite observant. He'll just sit back and watch and you know,
- 15:27Speaker 2: quick to a smile. Loves a good argument. Not that
- 15:30Speaker 2: you could hear that in the house yesterday, loads of interjecting,
- 15:34Speaker 2: lots of noise, and Adrian gets respect because he shushed,
- 15:38Speaker 2: and I like it when people do this. He shushed
- 15:39Speaker 2: his own side, his own colleagues, as much as he
- 15:42Speaker 2: did the Treasury benches when he was speaking. And he
- 15:45Speaker 2: made two decent points. First, the Privileges Committee is meant
- 15:49Speaker 2: to be bipartisan. The fact that this punishment was was
- 15:55Speaker 2: handed out and it was so severe, he's kind of
- 15:59Speaker 2: a moot point. It's the fact that it wasn't a
- 16:03Speaker 2: bipartisan decision because now it's open season for governments of
- 16:07Speaker 2: any persuasion to weaponize the punishments, potentially weaponize the punishments
- 16:12Speaker 2: in future against their political opponents. As he points out,
- 16:16Speaker 2: this was the government punishing MPs, not the Parliament, which
- 16:19Speaker 2: it ought to be and heroinized the problem with parliament
- 16:22Speaker 2: as a whole these days, there's no agreed standard of
- 16:25Speaker 2: behavior that's universal to all MPs. Getting physically up in
- 16:30Speaker 2: somebody's grill is considered okay by some. Now the House
- 16:35Speaker 2: is meant to be about what comes out of your mouth,
- 16:38Speaker 2: not how close to another MP it is. Number two
- 16:42Speaker 2: Dudafi scolded the Marti Party for not apologizing for their
- 16:45Speaker 2: bad behavior. He spoke of his cousin, Dame Tadi Annatutia.
- 16:48Speaker 2: She never skipped a vote, worked hard for her people
- 16:51Speaker 2: and spoke on every bill before the House. The question
- 16:55Speaker 2: really is whether Tapatimarti actually wants to be in Parliament
- 16:58Speaker 2: or whether they want a separate one, which they state
- 17:01Speaker 2: they do on their website, and that begs the question
- 17:04Speaker 2: why are they there in the first place. All in all,
- 17:07Speaker 2: aside from Adrian's wise words, there's a few hours wasted
- 17:12Speaker 2: that the House won't get back.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge twenty nine.

- 17:50Speaker 9: So much to be around, truly pour away from Welcome
- 18:01Speaker 9: to your Friday morning.
- 18:01Speaker 2: On Newstok SIB with the best news reader in the
- 18:04Speaker 2: country neither Ready Manu, who was honored last night at
- 18:08Speaker 2: the Radio Awards. She's going to be with us in
- 18:10Speaker 2: just a second. She actually got two awards last night,
- 18:12Speaker 2: so we'll talk to her about that, plus our rap
- 18:15Speaker 2: with our reporters. Ryan, I like what Adrian rud Affi said.
- 18:20Speaker 2: This is at the debate of Parliament yesterday over the
- 18:22Speaker 2: Privileges Committee, but also what Karen Shaw had to say
- 18:25Speaker 2: about these suspended members. That's from Terry Ryan. I agree
- 18:29Speaker 2: with your comments about Adrian rud Afi. This is the
- 18:31Speaker 2: former speaker. Also, Arena Williams from Labor made quite a
- 18:35Speaker 2: respectful and elegant speech, says another. Here's a little bit
- 18:39Speaker 2: of what, by the way, Adrian had to say. He
- 18:42Speaker 2: basically said to the two Party Maltor, you should apologize
- 18:45Speaker 2: for what you've done.
- 18:46Speaker 5: I also implore to Party Mary to actually think about
- 18:52Speaker 5: what the honorable Willie Jackson has suggested. It's not for
- 18:57Speaker 5: me to tell colleagues to apologize, but, as he said,
- 19:02Speaker 5: it might go a long way. I'm going to say
- 19:05Speaker 5: this because I knew her better probably than anyone in
- 19:10Speaker 5: this house. Tuddy on Atudia would never have agreed to that.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Their cousins too. He also called them out for not
- 19:18Speaker 2: showing up.
- 19:19Speaker 5: You have the opportunity to change it. You can't change
- 19:24Speaker 5: it from not turning up for a vote in the House.
- 19:28Speaker 5: That ain't going to change anything.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Twenty two to six. Steve says Ryan, the racist Marty
- 19:33Speaker 2: seats should be abolished altogether. If they don't want to
- 19:35Speaker 2: be there, they don't want to be there. Let's get
- 19:38Speaker 2: to our reporters to start with Emily Ansel, who's got
- 19:42Speaker 2: a Dunedin uplate for us this morning. Emily, good morning morning. Now,
- 19:45Speaker 2: this Southern woman whose company was involved in the government's
- 19:48Speaker 2: school lunch program. What's happening here?
- 19:50Speaker 10: Yeah, So she's been sentenced to home detention on tax charges.
- 19:55Speaker 10: This is Deborah le Monteeth. She's faced a single representative
- 19:58Speaker 10: charge of aiding and a betting her company in failing
- 20:01Speaker 10: to account for paye between March twenty twenty one and
- 20:05Speaker 10: February twenty twenty four. The amount of this period total
- 20:09Speaker 10: to more than eight hundred thousand dollars, She told Inland Revenue.
- 20:13Speaker 10: The paye was used to keep her company Lee nineteen afloat.
- 20:18Speaker 10: The company was primarily involved in food catering, including the
- 20:21Speaker 10: Ministry of Education's school lunch program, and it was placed
- 20:24Speaker 10: into liquidation last year. Monteth was sentenced to eleven months
- 20:28Speaker 10: home detention in Invercargo earlier this week.
- 20:32Speaker 2: How's the weather very cold this morning.
- 20:34Speaker 10: Occasional showers possibly heavy in the morning, Snow flurries possible
- 20:39Speaker 10: about the hills with a high of just seven degrees.
- 20:41Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much. Let's go to our
- 20:44Speaker 2: christ Church update.
- 20:45Speaker 8: Now.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Michael's circle joins me. Michael, good morning. Now the water cremation,
- 20:50Speaker 2: what is it and where can I get it?
- 20:54Speaker 11: Well, this new christ Church company, christ Chitch Water Cremation, sorry,
- 20:58Speaker 11: christ Church Water Crematorium, is opening today offering an alternative
- 21:02Speaker 11: to flame cremation and burial. Water cremation is basically it's
- 21:06Speaker 11: a system that uses an alkaline solution to mimic the
- 21:09Speaker 11: natural burial process, leaving twenty to thirty percent more ashes
- 21:13Speaker 11: that don't contain carbons, so they're healthier for scattering on
- 21:16Speaker 11: plant life, if that's what you want. It's a method
- 21:19Speaker 11: available in a number of countries overseas, including the US, Canada, UK,
- 21:22Speaker 11: South Africa and Australia. Soon would you be a water
- 21:26Speaker 11: cremation person?
- 21:27Speaker 2: Many times? No, not No, you'd.
- 21:31Speaker 11: Prefer as a flame or a burial a preference.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Put me in the ground. Yeah, yeah, I feel quite
- 21:37Speaker 2: comfortable there. Yeah yeah, what.
- 21:40Speaker 11: About you, Michael? Yeah, I think I'm probably a flame
- 21:44Speaker 11: cremation person. That's got in my preference. I'm glad we've
- 21:47Speaker 11: sort of this out for our Friday morning. How's the
- 21:49Speaker 11: weather in christ? A fine starts the morning, the occasion
- 21:52Speaker 11: of rain developing about midday, the high won't The high
- 21:55Speaker 11: will be eight degrees and it's going to be a
- 21:56Speaker 11: cold one tonight with some snow.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Nice one. Thanks Michael maxismon heymex, Good morning. How do
- 22:02Speaker 2: you want to go out?
- 22:05Speaker 12: I don't like it being called flame cremation. That seems
- 22:07Speaker 12: like it that seems like it was made up on
- 22:09Speaker 12: the spot, a little too visceral. Normal creation cremation.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Can we call it?
- 22:14Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 22:14Speaker 2: Okay, the traditional flame type. It's a traditional cremation. Hey,
- 22:19Speaker 2: the boy racer cars some of them hit that have
- 22:22Speaker 2: been seized by the police listed for sale.
- 22:25Speaker 12: Yeah, there was this the police operation last week in
- 22:28Speaker 12: Levin to disrupt that's the word they use. A boy
- 22:31Speaker 12: racer meet up in Levin, cars doing skids, burnouts. There
- 22:34Speaker 12: were some arrests obviously, some cars were seized and have
- 22:38Speaker 12: now been listed for sale on Facebook marketplace. If you
- 22:42Speaker 12: need to buy now, you're not in luck. The cars
- 22:44Speaker 12: have to be impounded for twenty eight days before they
- 22:46Speaker 12: can be released. Otherwise, at the end of that period
- 22:49Speaker 12: you can get your hands on something that's probably quite loud, fast,
- 22:51Speaker 12: the tires, quite worn, potentially smells of weed. Inside seven
- 22:55Speaker 12: hundred and fifty dollars for a Ford Falcon cash sale
- 22:59Speaker 12: a caveat being you have to pay five hundred on
- 23:01Speaker 12: top to pay that in pound fee road legal except
- 23:04Speaker 12: for some cut springs, so it's a little lower to
- 23:06Speaker 12: the ground.
- 23:07Speaker 2: If no one.
- 23:07Speaker 12: Buys and the owner can't pay the impound fee or
- 23:09Speaker 12: has their license suspended, they go to the old Judith Collins,
- 23:13Speaker 12: the crusher.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I wonder if the boy racers could buy it back
- 23:18Speaker 2: from Presumably there's nothing stopping them doing that on trade
- 23:21Speaker 2: me or getting a friend to do it.
- 23:23Speaker 12: No exactly, but again the problem being some have their
- 23:25Speaker 12: license suspended and some just can't afford it. You know,
- 23:28Speaker 12: several hundred dollars is a stretch.
- 23:30Speaker 2: True.
- 23:31Speaker 12: How's the weather nex cold here as well, cloudy too,
- 23:34Speaker 12: with some occasional rain later Southerlys as well.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Awesome, Thank you and nevers in the studio. Good morning
- 23:40Speaker 2: maybe Friday, maybe Friday. And congratulations to the this newsreader
- 23:45Speaker 2: in New Zealand. Oh look at your honored for services
- 23:49Speaker 2: to broadcasting as well last night. Well done.
- 23:52Speaker 8: Oh my goodness.
- 23:53Speaker 13: I was getting quite emotional, and then I thought services
- 23:55Speaker 13: to broadcasting. I thought, don't they just give that to
- 23:58Speaker 13: old people that are on their way out?
- 24:00Speaker 2: Broadcasters? When I was five, life left and I loved it.
- 24:05Speaker 2: When somebody, the announcer Jerreman Corbett, was saying how many
- 24:09Speaker 2: awards you'd funny, I think you said ten, and new
- 24:11Speaker 2: shouted eleven.
- 24:12Speaker 8: Eleven.
- 24:13Speaker 13: It's only a number, but hey, who's scounting?
- 24:15Speaker 2: Not well done? Wayne Brown and Disleey Simpson come out
- 24:18Speaker 2: saying well, because we thought Disney might run against him,
- 24:21Speaker 2: she's decided that's right.
- 24:23Speaker 13: But they are singing from the same song sheet. They're
- 24:25Speaker 13: Komba Yang together. So now we know that Brown and
- 24:28Speaker 13: Simpson they confirmed yesterday that they're going to run together
- 24:31Speaker 13: is Auckland's Mere and depity in October's local elections.
- 24:35Speaker 2: They've led the.
- 24:36Speaker 13: Council we know for three years, and there was a
- 24:38Speaker 13: lot of speculation as you say that Simpsons she might
- 24:40Speaker 13: have a run at.
- 24:40Speaker 2: The top job.
- 24:41Speaker 13: But no, no, Brown says, look, sometimes we disagree, but
- 24:44Speaker 13: they compliment each other very well his words. So yeah,
- 24:48Speaker 13: he sees. Look, they're both interested in financial aspects, including
- 24:50Speaker 13: reducing pressure on ratepayers, so they will just you know,
- 24:53Speaker 13: hold hands and skip through that best decision.
- 24:55Speaker 2: I mean, she was that would just split the vote
- 24:57Speaker 2: on the right, wouldn't They'll be a dumb minded exactly.
- 25:00Speaker 13: So totes all right with Rainy's into a few showers
- 25:03Speaker 13: this morning. Fifteen is the high today. I shall celebrate
- 25:06Speaker 13: because I couldn't do that last night. You and I
- 25:08Speaker 13: we had to run off straight after the awards. So
- 25:10Speaker 13: many straight to bed.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Go and enjoy yourself. Neva, Happy Friday, seventeen. Away from
- 25:15Speaker 2: six News Talk CVB, we'll get to Vincent mcaviniy in
- 25:17Speaker 2: the UK.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Next International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind,
- 25:23Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Fourteen away from six news talks fair be very chilly
- 25:27Speaker 2: in Moscow this morning a minus four point six. There
- 25:30Speaker 2: is a met Service to should an orange heavy snow
- 25:33Speaker 2: warning for Central Otago and Canterbury this morning as well.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Just so you're up to date. Now let's get to
- 25:38Speaker 2: Vincent mcavinie in the UK for us mons. Good morning,
- 25:42Speaker 2: good morning. Now over in the Oval Office, we've had
- 25:44Speaker 2: Mertz meeting with Trump. Did anything come of the meeting? Yes.
- 25:49Speaker 14: Fredrick Martz, the new Chancellor of a Germany, made that
- 25:52Speaker 14: path that some leaders have fallen down on to the
- 25:55Speaker 14: Oval Office in recent months. It seems to have gone
- 25:59Speaker 14: off the public side pretty much without a hitch. He
- 26:01Speaker 14: presented Donald Trump with a gift, which was his German
- 26:05Speaker 14: grandfather's original birth certificate, which seemed to go down quite
- 26:09Speaker 14: well with the President. When it came to their meeting,
- 26:13Speaker 14: I mean, we were told that he had sort of
- 26:14Speaker 14: gained out scenarios. He would have likely have talked to
- 26:17Speaker 14: Mark Carney and Kirs Starmer, the Canadian and British prime
- 26:19Speaker 14: ministers who had successful visits, not so much the South
- 26:23Speaker 14: African president and of course Vladimir Zelenski The questions, though,
- 26:27Speaker 14: seem to have highlighted some of the rift, particularly when
- 26:30Speaker 14: it comes to Ukraine. Germany a big support of Ukraine.
- 26:33Speaker 14: It's thought with some strategic ambiguity. At the moment, they
- 26:37Speaker 14: won't confirm this that Germany has given permission to Ukraine
- 26:41Speaker 14: to use long range missiles that they're provising to strike
- 26:44Speaker 14: further into Russia. But Donald Trump is essentially saying, you know,
- 26:49Speaker 14: he's compared in this meeting to two children fighting in
- 26:51Speaker 14: a park. He had a two hour long conversation with
- 26:54Speaker 14: Vladimir Putin and he said, you've got to let them
- 26:57Speaker 14: fight for a while, and he thinks he knows when
- 27:00Speaker 14: will be the right moment to step in, but won't
- 27:01Speaker 14: say what that is. So they're now meeting behind closed doors.
- 27:04Speaker 14: Of course, Germany trying to get a deal like the
- 27:07Speaker 14: UK has to get out of these tariffs. Their manufacturing
- 27:10Speaker 14: industry hit very hard. But they are just part of
- 27:13Speaker 14: the EU when it comes to that, so they're part
- 27:15Speaker 14: of a kind of multi pronged approach.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Interesting. Vincent will have to leave it there. That's Vincent
- 27:20Speaker 2: Macavi any O UK Europe correspond twelve minutes away from
- 27:23Speaker 2: six Ryan Bridge. Also the Conservative Party just interestingly basically
- 27:29Speaker 2: disavowing themselves of Liz Truss after you know, her mini
- 27:32Speaker 2: budget that nearly crashed the UK economy. They've basically turned
- 27:35Speaker 2: around and said, yeah, that was a really bad and
- 27:37Speaker 2: damaging thing for the party, and I don't think we've
- 27:39Speaker 2: quite recovered. She, by the way, is hawking whiskey in
- 27:44Speaker 2: Europe somewhere, so she's busy doing something. Our twelve away
- 27:48Speaker 2: from six now pressure this morning on the Prime Minister
- 27:51Speaker 2: to separate New Zealand's foreign policy from that of Americas.
- 27:54Speaker 2: A cross party coalition of prominent leaders have signed an
- 27:57Speaker 2: open Leader urging the Prime Minister to not take an
- 28:00Speaker 2: adversarial stance towards China. List of figures include Helen Clark's
- 28:05Speaker 2: Jeffrey Palmers to David Carter and Don Brash, former National
- 28:08Speaker 2: Party leader of course and Reserve Bank governor. Who's with
- 28:10Speaker 2: me this morning, Don, Good morning, good morning, right, Good
- 28:13Speaker 2: to have you on the program. So this is a
- 28:15Speaker 2: position I know you've had for a while, but what
- 28:17Speaker 2: exactly is the government doing to get what are we
- 28:21Speaker 2: doing to get too close to America and further from China.
- 28:26Speaker 8: Well, a number of things that have been done in
- 28:27Speaker 8: the last twelve eighty months. I guess the most obvious thing.
- 28:31Speaker 8: We sailed one of our naval ships through the Taiwan
- 28:33Speaker 8: Straits straight. We've long regarded Taiwan as part of China.
- 28:39Speaker 8: Sailing naval ships through that strait is very offensive to China.
- 28:43Speaker 8: And we know that. We've recently signed a special kind
- 28:46Speaker 8: of military relationship with the Philippines despite the fact they
- 28:49Speaker 8: are in a low level confrontation with China. We've done
- 28:53Speaker 8: all kinds of We sent two delegations to Taiwan, led
- 28:57Speaker 8: by National Party mpsing that that offends China, and they've
- 29:02Speaker 8: met with the President of China of Taiwan. I mean,
- 29:06Speaker 8: we go out of our way to offend China. Judith Coluins,
- 29:11Speaker 8: Minister of Defense, has made a number of speeches in
- 29:13Speaker 8: which you clearly implied that China was a military threat
- 29:17Speaker 8: to New Zealand and we should allow ourselves with the
- 29:19Speaker 8: United States to prevent that.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Now, are they not, I mean, you know, of.
- 29:25Speaker 8: Course they're not. I mean, in what sense are they
- 29:27Speaker 8: a threat to New Zealand with no sense that.
- 29:29Speaker 2: When push comes to shove and one day when they
- 29:32Speaker 2: either quarantine or blockade Taiwan, what do we do who signed?
- 29:36Speaker 2: You know, what side do we take now?
- 29:38Speaker 8: It's not of our business. We regard Taiwan as part
- 29:42Speaker 8: of China and we were out of that since nineteen
- 29:44Speaker 8: seventy two. It's not our business at all. You know.
- 29:49Speaker 8: The United States if they want a military confrontation with China,
- 29:53Speaker 8: so be it. I hope they don't have such a confrontation.
- 29:55Speaker 8: It's not good for either country. We want to attain
- 29:57Speaker 8: a good relationship with both the United States and China,
- 30:00Speaker 8: but we can't do that if the United States is
- 30:03Speaker 8: held bent on a military confrontation with China.
- 30:06Speaker 2: What about Aucust. You've obviously got concerns about August. What
- 30:09Speaker 2: exactly are they?
- 30:11Speaker 8: What August is as it stands in its pure form,
- 30:15Speaker 8: a nuclear submarine deal, where by Australia will require nuclear
- 30:18Speaker 8: subs from the United States at enormous costs some three
- 30:22Speaker 8: hundred and seventy billion Australian dollars. Most experts say Australia
- 30:25Speaker 8: will never actually get those submarines for a variety of
- 30:28Speaker 8: technical reasons they won't boy you with. But it's deliberately
- 30:32Speaker 8: and explicitly an anti China military relationship. Well, if Australia
- 30:36Speaker 8: wants to do that. That's Australia is fair, but it
- 30:39Speaker 8: should not be ours.
- 30:40Speaker 2: What about that we've just yesterday a lot of our
- 30:44Speaker 2: troops have gone on Canterbury off to a military exercise
- 30:48Speaker 2: with the US and with the Australians those drills rile China.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Do you think we should be not engaging with their minor?
- 30:58Speaker 8: Absolutely not. Why would we do that?
- 31:01Speaker 2: Well, we need to have otherwise they're doing nothing. You know,
- 31:04Speaker 2: what would the what would the trucks be doing what?
- 31:09Speaker 8: I don't know what they'd be doing, but in any case,
- 31:11Speaker 8: what why take better on exercise which is explicitly aimed
- 31:15Speaker 8: against China, which is literally not thritning US. It's our
- 31:19Speaker 8: largest export market by a country mile. I mean, it's
- 31:23Speaker 8: it's daft in every dimension.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Don I appreciate you coming on the program. Don brash Form,
- 31:28Speaker 2: the National Party leader, very much encouraging Luxon to move
- 31:33Speaker 2: away from America or at least be a disinterested party
- 31:37Speaker 2: in that battle between the States and China. Just gone

- 31:51Speaker 2: Sex Away from Sex News Talk ZIBB and Mike is here.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike, greetings, see you, Ryan, congratulations on last night.
- 31:59Speaker 15: Thank you.
- 32:00Speaker 2: I humble myself before you.
- 32:02Speaker 15: I don't know why you would the ones I tell
- 32:05Speaker 15: you who I like, I know I heard you're talking
- 32:06Speaker 15: about Neva a moment ago. And the Malcolm Jordan I
- 32:10Speaker 15: was particularly thrilled with that. Most people on ZB will
- 32:13Speaker 15: know Malcolm Malcolms. I love Malcolm because Malcolm is one
- 32:16Speaker 15: of those people who've been around in the industry for
- 32:18Speaker 15: a million years and has done everything and has just
- 32:23Speaker 15: just he's one of those guys can you do that,
- 32:26Speaker 15: can you do this? And he does it all and
- 32:28Speaker 15: so he was recognized last night and I thought that
- 32:30Speaker 15: was cooled. And Jamie McKay I was particularly thrilled for
- 32:33Speaker 15: awesome achievement because what he's done for rural broadcasting and
- 32:38Speaker 15: you know, spooking the rural part of New Zealand and
- 32:40Speaker 15: buying a radio station, stuff like that and doing it
- 32:42Speaker 15: from the bottom of the country is fantastic. So those
- 32:45Speaker 15: I like nights like that for those sort of reasons.
- 32:48Speaker 15: I felt really bad that you didn't win, but you
- 32:51Speaker 15: were nominating, but just don't always get it right. Judges
- 32:54Speaker 15: got it wrong. You know, I'm quite happy to say
- 32:56Speaker 15: that on you what it dragged on though, didn't it
- 32:58Speaker 15: so boring? It was a shocking, shocking night.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Never and I just wanted to get it.
- 33:04Speaker 15: Was unacceptably long. And Jeremy Corbett, by the way, he
- 33:08Speaker 15: was actually a great superb and it's a lesson. And
- 33:11Speaker 15: I didn't go last year because for you know, reasons
- 33:14Speaker 15: you can probably understand. But he was there and I
- 33:18Speaker 15: saw him, and I thought previously in other years they
- 33:21Speaker 15: get people. Just because you can do a radio show
- 33:23Speaker 15: doesn't mean you can be an This is true and
- 33:26Speaker 15: we've seen this for many, many years. And so they
- 33:28Speaker 15: found an m C who's brilliant, and he is brilliant
- 33:31Speaker 15: and so he deserves to be hired literally forever.
- 33:33Speaker 2: And he's quick and he kept it moving even though
- 33:35Speaker 2: I mean it dragged on, but that.
- 33:37Speaker 15: Wasn't who ever organized that to last that long should
- 33:40Speaker 15: be shocked and sacked, simple as that.
- 33:42Speaker 2: It's completely unaccepted. It grateful award winning mate Closs.
- 33:46Speaker 15: Well, that's I feel I can say that because I
- 33:47Speaker 15: want It's not like, oh, you're just better because you're lost.
- 33:50Speaker 15: I actually one again say stuff yea it can be shot.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Can you tell him tired?
- 33:56Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 33:57Speaker 2: I am to live in this and go to a
