  Speaker 2: News Talk said, be good morning, New Zealand. It is
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: six half to five. I'm Ryan Bridge. This his early
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: edition on Newstalk. Sa'd be great to have your company
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: this Tuesday morning. Lots to get through today. We're looking
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: at Shane Ritti. He's gone full Trump on Health New
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Zealand's board. You're fired, he told them yesterday. Actually most
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of those board members had either quit or we leaving anyway. However,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the commission is going to be in place. Will it
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: solve our problems? We will talk to the union at
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: five point thirty this morning. Kamala Harris is I reckon
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: she's got this sewn up. Too many Democrats now have
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: come out leading Democrats have come out in support of her.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So can she beat Trump? That's the question. The Washington
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Post columnist Henry Olsen is with us just before six
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: this morning. Plus this new report that reckons the ferry
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: that ground, this is the out of Teddy just a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago, is in good condition. Really, we speak
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to the Union on that just before five point thirty
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: right now seven after.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, the twenty third of July. US Vice
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: President Karmala Harris has spoken publicly for the first time
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: since President Joe Biden announced he will not seek reelection.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: is unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: already surpassed the legacy of most presidents have served two terms.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Well, big call there, anyway. She didn't say much else
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: other than I love Joe Biden, which is I guess
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: it was a pre arranged event. So she's been endorsed
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: by many of the leading Democrats, including Biden. She's seeking
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the nomination. However, the process which they will follow to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: get her to that point we still don't quite know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: The National convention being held next month in Chicago. US
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has testified in front of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the House Oversight Committee following that sassination attempt of Donald Trump.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The Service has been widely criticized for not having snipers
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: on the roof where the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks shot
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the former president from.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: thirteenth is the most significant operational failure of the Secret
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Service in decades.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You can say that again. She was confronted by Republicans
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: at the RNC last week and previously blamed local police
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for not securing the rooftop. Back here. This is some amazing,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: fantastic news out of New Zealand. Groundbreaking cancer therapy has
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: reached a new milestone. The trial of car T cell therapy,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: which genetically modifies sales to attack cancer, has reached the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: second phase of its trial run out of the Malgan
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Institute in Wellington. The treatment has already used overseas for
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: types of blood cancer. The clinical director says the aversion
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is looking safer and effective. He says almost all thirty
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: trial cancer patients said it's easier on them than chemo.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Nine after five.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan Bridge
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture, Beds and a playing store.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: News talk said, be so Shane Ready's got rid of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the board. Goodbye, I see you later. I think it
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: was only one left anyway, And is appointed this professor
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Lester Levy, who was the chairman of the board. He's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: South African born, he's a doctor, he's on lots of board,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: so he seems like he's fit for the job. How
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: on earth does Health New Zealand spend one hundred and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: thirty million dollars over budget a month and the savings
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that they're going to be required to look at is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: one point four billion dollars fourteen layers apparently of bureaucracy
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: between a patient and the CEO. So the question here
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is will the system crash under a savings drive like that?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Can they actually cope with trying to cut back. We've
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: got nurses and doctors who are worried about their pay
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: deals going forward because if the board's gone, the process
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: might change. There's too much power, too much control from
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the government. So we're going to talk to the doctor's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: union about that in just a few minutes. Actually, also
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: just a shout out this morning, a big thank you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to the volunteer firefighters and the first responders. This is
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: near Lake Pukaki in the South Island. Not only did
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: they have that double bus crash the other day to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: deal with, there was a multiple car crash a few
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: days before that. Now there's a fire. It's like fire
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and ice.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Fifty hectares have been burning since yesterday afternoon. It was
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a farmer who was doing a burnoff got out of control.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It's about a kilometer from some nearby properties. They've evacuated
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of houses. But imagine they're all volunteers. The
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Saint John Ambo guys are volunteers. The firefighters are volunteers.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And they've had now four major callouts in the space
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of five days. So thank you for doing all the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hard work that you are doing. And hopefully that fire
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: will be contained soon if it wasn't overnight already eleven
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: after five. Now on News Talk ZB coming up next,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: we are looking at Health New Zealand. Will this commissioner
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be the saving grace?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: store News doalg Sidby.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Is it a coup against Joe Biden?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: A sort of yeah, I think it is. I mean, look,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: there's a social process, the twenty fifth Amendment.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: If Joe Biden can't run for president, he can't serve
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: as president.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's jd Vance alongside Trump, appearing on Fox News Jesse
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Waters Show yesterday saying that basically, it's a coup what
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the Democrats have done to Joe Biden. It's a coup.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: This is the line. They're going to be running. Fifty
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: million dollars. That's how much Carmena Harris has managed to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: raise so far in just a couple of days for
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the Democratic ticket, which she will likely be the head
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of I presume. Anyway, We're going to Henry Olsen from
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the Washington Post just before six this morning. Right now,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: fourteen after five, Ryan Bridge Health, New Zealand's border is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: being replaced by a new commissioner, Professor Lester Levy, who
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: was recently appointed the Chair of Health New Zealand, will
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: take charge of the organization for a twelve month term.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Health Minister Shane Retti has made the move following what
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he called serious concerns around oversight, overspend and a significant
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: deterioration in the financial outlook. In other words, financially, it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: up the creek. Debrah Powell is the New Zealand Resident
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Doctors Association National Secretary and she's with me now. Deborah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Debra. Good to have you on the show.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: First of all, your reaction to what the minister announced yesterday.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's a sad day in the house. I have
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: to say, whenever we get a board replaced by the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: autographic system that is a commissioner, it's always.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: A bad day.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It's also a bad day because the sole focus is
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: funding and money and that it's important. I'm not saying
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: it's not, but it shouldn't be the sole focus. We
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: should be focused on our workforce, which Minister Retti did
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: say would be the priority, and we should be focusing
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: on investing in both works course and our infrastructure to
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: turn us around. So no, it wasn't a good announcement
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: in my grade.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Can you not see where he's coming from? Though, Because
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: if you're putting in, if you're overspending by one hundred
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and thirty million dollars per month, you've got it apparently
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: an increase in full time equivalent workers, plus you've got
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: an increase in contractors, but the results are not going
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: up at the same rate. I mean, something's clearly wrong,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Isn't it well our fundamental problem and I do see
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: where he's coming from. In one hand that let me
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: explain our fundamental problem is that we're underfunded, and it's
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: not so much mismanagement as underfunding. And quite frankly, I
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: am sick of successive governments blaming the government before for
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the underfunding. We've been underfunded since the last Labor government
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: and the National government before that, and it's time to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: turn that around. The money we get is always in
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: catch up node these days, we need to get into
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: an investment phase. Secondly, and look, I'll use a real
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: live example. We have MRI scanners. These are part of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the radiology group that diagnose and then monitor treatment of
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: patients their magnetic resonance imaging scanners for the long term,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: so we call them mrs. We have mrs interfatile aura
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: at this very moment lying idle because we don't have
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the workforce to run them. So of course, cancer patients
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: who need diagnosis and monitoring are getting held up. Our
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: weight lists are growing for surgery inpatients are sitting around
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: because they need an MR before we can actually release
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: them to go home. So these things are going on.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Sorry it's a bit long, but we're spending. This government
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: has said thirty million dollars more to outsource to private
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: in order to get the staff we need to run
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: the scanners. We already have one point five million. So yes,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: it is about the money. But if you put your
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: focus on workforce first, in actual fact, you get a
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: better financial outcome. And that's where they're going wrong.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Well, well, is that not the point that Shaney this
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: is made exactly that he is going to be focusing
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on the front line to make sure that those services
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: are there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I haven't seen any of it. And what
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: we're all the signals we're getting is thirty million for outsourcing,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: one point five to support competitive rates of pay for
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: our own staff. No. Right, that's what we're seeing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: In a word, Deborah, because we are out of time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Have the reforms is the creation of health in New Zealand?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Has that made the situation better or worse?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I think it's made it better. Before we had twenty
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: district health boards competing and that was wasting money. We
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: were duplicating services. It has been a difficult transformation, there's
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: no two ways about it. But it's still early days
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: in such a big change. It's only two years in
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and going back into more restructuring, refocusing regionally instead of nationally,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: it's just going to be more wasted energy and resources.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: All right, Debra, thank you very much for your time.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Nice to have you on the show. Doctor Debrah Powell,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: who's the New Zealand Resident Doctors Association National secretary. Just
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: gone eighteen minutes after five. Coming up next, some surprise
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: news about our fleet. This is Kiwi Rail, the fleet
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of our sorry, the state of our inter island of fleet.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: It's in better condition than previously thought, apparently, though the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: union's a bit skeptical. Will talk them next.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be Just gone twenty after five on
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: News Talks said, be, We're going to get to this
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: teenager who robbed it was in an armed robbery he
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: was involved with and gets a sixty five percent discount
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: on his sentence. That's better than a Brisco's sale, more
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: off that a Brisco's sale. Will talk about that in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: just a few moments right now. Though, twenty one after five,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: maritime experts have found the aging inter Island of fleet
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is in better condition than previously thought. The report found
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: no systemic issues are preventing their ferries from running until
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine, but it will cost an extra seven
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: million dollars each year in maintenance, bringing the total to
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: thirty six million annually. The Maritime Union is cautious of
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the findings, pointing to several recent failures with the ships.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Cal Finlay Is the Maritime Union from the Maritime Union
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: joins me, now, good morning, good to have you on
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the show. Do you are you not buying this report.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: And we accept the report, but always saying as with caution.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: You know that these aging vessels come with problems and
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: they're still not being addressed by the government and what
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: they're going to do and replacing them, because they need
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: to be replacing them. There's no getting away from that, mate.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Do you think they can carry on to twenty twenty nine?
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Though, well, that's not ideal, but I guess Jimmy, rawl
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: have been put on impossible position where they need to
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: carry on and as you pointed out, they're spending all
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: this extra money on the maintenance just to keep them
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: going and on a daily basis, which is which is
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: not ideal for anyone.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The report says the Kayatacky is in good to fear
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: condition in general. The chato here is in good to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: fear condition in general. The aditiary, the one that grounded recently,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: is in good condition in general. Do you agree with
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the assessments.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Well, you have to get you know, they say they've
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: got the top experts, and you have to believe in
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: in their assessment. But what I would say is that,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: you know, Crewe welfare has to be a priority here,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: and I think I think with the given history, they
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: need to have a very very clear, well fought out
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: rescue plan if something does decide to go go wrong.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: What do you think something something could go wrong? I mean,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: obviously it's a rest because especially when you've got aging,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: aging vessels.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I just I'd just rather be prepared
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: than the old, you know story of the implants at
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the bottom of the close sort of scenario.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: That button that was inadvertently pressed on the other teddy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, does that not show that perhaps it is
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: human failure there rather than vessel failure.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Look, I think we need to text their back mate
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: and just really wait for the report because obviously that's
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: really really serious. And I've just sort of done have
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: a poor, poor fuel on the fire. I'm going to
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: wait for the report to make any comments on that, mate.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: No, that's fine. I understand and appreciate it. Carl, thank
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you very much for your time this morning. Really appreciate it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Cal Finlay is the Maritime Union of New Zealand National Secretary.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It is twenty three after five. Interestingly, in this report
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it talks about the hull fatigue. The fatigue age of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the inter islander fleets steel hulls was less than a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: quarter of the actual age of the ships, meaning they're
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: in really good condition. Why well, the fairies don't sail
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: in really heavy seas to avoid discomfort to passengers and livestock.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: This has reduced each vessels exposure to extreme waves that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: could have accelerated hull fatigue. So they're very young for
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: their age, almost like they've had a shot of botox
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: or something. Underneath. They're in good condition underneath, but it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the mechanical side of it that seems to be failing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Twenty four after five, back in a second.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Goode separating the fact from the fiction. Kad's filling edition
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and Appliant store News.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Dog ZB twenty six after five, the row over road
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: cones is getting so piping hot that somebody might soon
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: blow a gasket. And the Herald this morning, the boss
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: of traffic management firm Traffics has laid into the Transport Minister,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: saying he and Wayne Brown don't understand how the traffic
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: industry works. He says they don't charge per road cone
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: for work, but rather per worker and truck. He says
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the public is abusing his staff on site because of
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: misinformation that's been spread. The problem here is that we
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: had this independent report and we spoke about this yesterday
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: from Ey and it was pretty damning. It basically said
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that the raw as the current rules incentivize contractors like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Traffics to cause maximum disruption in order to maximize profits.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And NZTA looked at eight hundred maintenance work science this
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: is on the highway network. One hundred and forty five
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of them were not needed. Doesn't that make you blood
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: boil Auckland Council alone apparently spending one hundred and forty
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: five million a year on road cones and temporary traffic management.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: There was a contractor this is around the corner from
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: my place, quiet residential suburban street. There was a contract
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to digging a hole on the side of the road.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Not a big hole, just a small hole. I could
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: not believe that they closed the road down. There was
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: down to one lane with stop ghost signs. This is
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the quietest street in the neighborhood. I just thought it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was madness. I would never say anything to the workers, obviously,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: because it's not their fault, but clearly, after the EY
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: report and the message from MZTA, something needs to be
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: fixed and fast. Wayne Brown wants the power to set
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: fees and charge penalties if work drags on or wasn't
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: needed in the first place, and I say give it
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to him. Bridge lots to come on the program. Still,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk to the Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: He'll be on the show just before six this morning.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Because it looks like Karmala Harris has got this sewn
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: up in terms of the Democratic nomination for president. It
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: looks like she's got it in the back because there's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: too many have come out and supported her already, though
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: interestingly Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama haven't endorsed her yet,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: despite a flurry of others, including Biden, himself supporting her.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So what is holding up Pelosi and Obama, Because obviously
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: they're very, very influential figures in the party. What's holding
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: them up? Are they waiting until this sort of faux
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: process within the Democrat Democratic Party takes place before they
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: endorse Karmala Harris or do they actually want to support
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: another candidate. You would have to say, if you are
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: wanting to challenge Kamala Harris, given that Biden has indoors to,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: given that so many others in the party have endorsed to,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you're on hiding to nothing. So the only reason you
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: would you would actually challenge Harris is because you don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: have much name recognition and you want to get your
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: name out there in the public spotlight. I would have
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: thought we'll get Henry Olsen's view on that just before
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: six this morning. Right now it is twenty nine after five.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: News is next right here on news Talk.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Sibb the first word on the News of the Day
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's

  Speaker 2: Have a double shadowed wish there's a party down. Tell
• 18:02

• 18:06
  Speaker 2: from six year on news Talk, said b I'm Ryan Bridge.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Great to have your company. Lots of your feedback coming.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We'll get to in a second, but first in some
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: developing news for you this morning, Nancy Pelosi has just
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: issued a statement endorsing Vice President Krmla Harris to run
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: as the Democratic nominee for president. We were ironically just
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: speaking about this before the break, before this news happened,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and I was saying, why hasn't she She's like the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: grandmother of the Democratic Party, not just because she's very old.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: In fact, I think she's eighty four. She's ancient, but
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: she's still going strong anyway. She has a lot of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: influence in that party, and she has come up with
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a statement today. It is with immense pride and limitless
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: optimism for our country's future that I endorse Vice President
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Karmala Harris for President of the United States. She says,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: my enthusiastic support for Karmla Harris for president is official, personal,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and political. She goes on to talk about the fact,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: you know how Karmala has been instrumental in the fight
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: on abortion and reproductive rights. She says, we must unify
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and charge Ford to resoundingly defeat Donald Trump and enthusiastically
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: elect Karmala Harris onward to victory. So that you go.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosiho has endorsed Carmla Harris. Lots of you aren't
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: buying this whole Karmela thing, though Harris talks and riddles.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is about to face its biggest loss
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: in history. Ryan, I don't think Carmla Harris could beat
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: herself out of a paper bag, let alone Trump. That's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: from Brian nineteen ninety two, the number to text twenty

  Speaker 9: aircraft owners love this year's event and they're enthusiastic to
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: come back again.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Brilliant. I actually looked at that and thought, why haven't
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I been there? So I will go next time.

  Speaker 11: which went unreported.

  Speaker 2: is in Wellington for us a possible sad outcome and
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: that search for a Wellington woman.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Max, Yeah, this is a story our newsroom broke late
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: last night. The mother of missing carpety woman Brianna murray
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Way has posted on Facebook suggesting her body may have
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: been found or that she may be confirmed dead. And
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: murray Way was twenty two when she vanished from Tehdre
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Beach in twenty twenty two. Picked up before her disappearance
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: by a male friend from Wellington, they traveled to Palmerston North,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: where they stayed till Saturday night. Police previously interviewing two
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: men she was with that night but just ending up
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: with more questions than answers.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Seemingly.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: On Facebook last night, her mum Jasmine posting as Brianna's mama,
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: I'd like to be the first to address the nation
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: with some news of our beloved girl. It was not
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: the outcome we were hoping for, but we still hold
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: on to hope that we have closure and the fully justice.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: So we're following up to get more detail from police
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: and they are not yet to comment publicly.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: All right weather today, max sure.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: Party, cloudy, strong, southerly's a high of eleventh central, brilliant.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you, and Neva is an Auckland this morning? Good morning, No,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: good morning? How are we?
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: I'm good?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: What are you looking for?
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: You're faffing about?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I know you've lost your paper? I've lost I've lost
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a bit of paper. Oh better, I need for my
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: next interview.
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, go off, you go, you go get
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: it and I will take over. What do we do
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: in a time check? I'm going to tell you about
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: this Amitus Sparky's work which nearly set Auckland's homerlights. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: what we know is that this was one of five
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: cases involving Emitas Sparky's doing dangerous work that's landed before
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: the courts. This has happened in the past six months.
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: So this has prompted MB to warn homeowners to ensure
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: that you know, like they're soliciting the services of licensed electricians,
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: make sure you're doing that, and a reminder of the
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: dangers of allowing unskilled and untrained people to do electrical work.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: Because Rapeesh Kumar, now he was fined, because he was
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: convicted of this negligent work on electrical installation. Now this
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: was he was supposed to install. He was hired to
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: install and connect to hot water cylinder. Then several months later,
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: apparently the homeowner noticed a burning smell and called the
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: fire brigade. So you know, some of this happens. So
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: you've just got to make.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Sure it's tempting though, isn't it, because it's so expensive.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Well exactly, so you go, well, I could just put
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: that wire in there myself.
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: Oh I say that all the time. I'm not even qualified.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: For goodness sake, before you know it, your you know
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: your house has burned to the ground. Correct, So don't
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: use that at home. People don't take that advice to have.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Auckland's weather today never.
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: Occasional showers clearing this afternoon, our high fifteen brilliantly, did
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: you find you a piece of paper?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I've found one? People, could I eighteen minutes away from
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: six o'clock, donnor to our Australia correspondent is with us
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: next plus before the top of the hour. Henry Olsen,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: who's a US election analyst but also a columnist for
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: The Washington Post. His take on whether Karmla Harris can
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: eat Trump. Sure, she has the endorsement of many now,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: including Nancy Pelosi for the Democratic nomination, but taking the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: fight to Trump will be a completely different challenge. So
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: can she do it? Is she up to it? That?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Just before six, just go on quarter to six here
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: on news Talk said be very quickly this service station
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Robert underdou Ruben. You can read the story in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Herald this morning. He's got a sixty five percent discount
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: at sentencing after he was taken part was involved with
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: an armed robbery of a service station. I mean, sixty
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: five percent off is about as good as a Brisco
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: sale if you ask me. So what is it actually for?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Twenty five percent was for his early guilty plead, twenty
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: percent was because he's young, and twenty percent was because
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: of a Section twenty seven report which detailed his upbringing.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: The sentence could have been jail time years of jail time. Instead,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: he's got no reparation payments because he doesn't have a job,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and he's walked away with four months home detention to
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: serve in a residential facility. So go figure. It's just
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: gone on quarter to six.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: International Correspondence with ends and eye insurance Peace of Mind
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business John had.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Managed in Australia for US. This morning Cameber police approbing
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: two separate targeted attacks. What's this about.
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: Yes, they're investigating after two men were allegedly lured to
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: locations via dating apps and then assaulted. Now, both victims
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: were reportedly tricked into meeting up after communicating with fake
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: user profiles. Obviously they didn't know at the time they
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: were fake on a dating app. Then they were beaten
• 25:35
  Speaker 12: by a group of men. Now we know that the
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: investigations are looking into whether the incidents are linked since
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: they were almost identical. One of the victims attacked by
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: four men outside of Canberra home and then he was robbed.
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: He did end up in hospital. The second victim attacked
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: when after matching on an app, he was lured to
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: an abandoned home and assaulted by a group of seven
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: or eight men. And at that time there were some
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: homophobic slurs used in during that attack, so it does
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: seem targeted and premeditated. Now police have also urged people
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: if they're meeting up with anyone that they've met on
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: an app, they must and should really consider meeting in
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: a public place.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: At the very least, we've had a similar thing here
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: in christ Church, a similar case or a couple of cases
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: just like that. Donna. Let's talk about the forecast costs
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of that tic breakdown we had the front, yes.
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: That crowdstrikeer outage that we're all still reeling from. Well,
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: it's the cost of it is still being fully assessed
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: here in Australia. It's tipped to leave a damage bill
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: of almost a billion by some, but then others are
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: saying that it could reach or run into the billions.
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: We've heard from government leaders, business leaders and they say
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: the impact of the outage could be felt for weeks
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: to come. Now we know what will cause the the outage,
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: but you know, absolute chaos for millions of Aussies. And
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: the Home Affairs Minister Claire O'Neil has spoken and said well,
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: some of these issues, these fallout issues could actually still
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: be a problem for businesses for at least another two
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: weeks possibly, And we also heard from the Austrain Industry
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: Group who says those glitches well could cost us billions,
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: multiple billions of dollars and at this stage is still
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: unclear if businesses will be seeking compensation. But we have
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: heard the CrowdStrike. As you may have already heard as well.
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: He is said to be preparing for an absolute onslaught
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: of possible legal action after what happened on Friday.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Dona, thank you very much for your time. Donnad tomayow
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: with us from Australia this morning. It is twelve minutes
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: away from.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Six Bryan Bridge.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: The fairy godmother you could call her of the Democratic Party,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi has this morning thrown her support behind Karmala Harris.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden is no longer seeking reelection to be president
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: of the United States. He's endorsed, along with Nancy Pelosi
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in a whole raft of others. Now, Karmala Harris to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: be the nominee for the Democrats for president in the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: election in November. She says, Kamala Harris, that is, she
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: wants to earn and win the nomination. So what is
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the process and is it who's basically in the bag? Well,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Henry Olsen is with us this morning. He's a US
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: election analyst and columnist for the Washington Post. Henry, thank
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: you very much for being with us. Is this basically
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: thank you for having me? Is this basically all sewn
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: up for Kamala Harris.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Now it probably is, and it'll be formally open that
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: none of the delegates to the National Convention who make
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: the selection are legally bound to vote for her. But
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: you can't beat someone with no one and right now,
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: every single leading national figure who credibly could challenge her
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: has endorsed her, So it's difficult to see where somebody
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: gains traction in order to defeat her, even though the
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: process will be formally open to anyone who wants to
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: do them.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: It would be political suicide for any serious contender to
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: throw the hat in the ring, given how many have
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: come out support and support of her.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: Now that's why they're all doing And I'm sure many
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: of them privately think that she's not a strong candidate,
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: many of them privately hunger for the job, but they
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: all know that if you're going to kill the king,
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: you have to kill the king. And it's extremely hard
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: to take out a sitting vice president with the sitting
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: president's endorsement, who's also got hundreds of millions of dollars
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: behind her that wouldn't necessarily be transferable to someone who
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: beat her. Everyone seems to be choosing discretion as the
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: better part of value in this case.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Who does she need on the ticket with her? Do
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: you pick a swing state senator or a governor like
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: a Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: That is the common wisdom right now is that she
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: because she is a woman of color, that she will
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: put a white male on the ticket. There's never been
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: an American presidential ticket without a white male on it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: People are looking at Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan. Although she's a female,
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: she is white, took herself out of the running. Today.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: A lot of people are looking at Senator Mark Kelly
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: of Arizona, who was an astronaut before he became a senator,
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: and whose wife, Gaddy Gibbs, was a popular congresswoman who
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: was shot in the head and permanently brain damage as
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: a results in assassination attempt thirteen years ago. Some people
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: think that between Arizona being a swing state, his biography,
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: and his family history, that he could add a lot
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: to the ticket.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: How does trouble? How is Trump reacting and can he
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: can she beat him?
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: Trump is reacting as you might expect Trump to react,
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: which is to be sharp negative and drawing contrast. There's
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: already an add up from the Trump superpack that alleges
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: that she covered up Biden's infirmities and ties her to
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: the administration. Can she beat him? Yes, but it's hampered
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: by two things. First of all, she's as unpopular as
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Biden was, and so she starts behind in the poll. Secondly,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: she's part of the administration. She's not an eighty one
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: year old man with regrettable but real infirmities. She is
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: somebody who has an identity of being a follower and
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: an identity of being involved in a very unpopular administration.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Her challenge is to distinguish herself from the administration, make
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: an image for herself as a leader, while not running
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: away from the time that she has spent as Joe
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: Biden's oil number two. It's a very thin line that
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: she has to.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Walk, certainly, as Henry, thanks for your time in your
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: analysis this morning. That's the US election analyst. Henry Olsen
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: is also a columnist for The Washington Post, saying there
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that basically Karmen Horse is as unpopular as Biden was,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and she still has to carry his baggage through this campaign.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: It is eight minutes away from six. Mic Hossing next,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge twenty twenty four, on early edition with Smith City,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture bids and a play at store.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be five to six here on news
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Talk said be. The Democratic Congressional leadership is apparently going
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: to endorse Carmen Harris for the nominee to be president today.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi has already done that too. Mike Hosting is
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: here and he starts after sixth this morning, So it's hers, isn't.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: It, one assume? So I suppose they wait for Obama,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: who said yesterday they want some sort of open contest,
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: but that seems to have overtaken them, so I guess
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: it is.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: So we'll deal with all of that this wing.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Mark Gilbert, by the way, who you might remember he
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: was here in twenty fifteen to seventeen as the US ambassador,
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: as nominated by Obama and an ex baseball player of course. Anyway,
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: he's on the program after right. He knows both Harris
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: and Biden extremely well. They've been friends for twenty years. Anyway,
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: I'm listening to your unionists this morning, right.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well which one we had? Actually two?
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: Well that's too many unionists talk to and so we
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: too many unionists on the program, the health one, Deborah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: So all they ever say is we need more money,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: and it's simply not true. Frustrating it's thirty billion dollars
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: and that you should have watched lux and yesterday was
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: being on about it for about forty minutes post cab
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: thirty billion dollars. Do you know how much? That's six
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: thousand dollars for every man, woman and child each and
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: every year in this country. So I didn't go to
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: hospital last year, so that's six thousand dollars has concer
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: It's a tremendous amount of mate. So the problem is
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: not we need more money. The problem is clearly when
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: you've got twelve layers.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Fourteen I think was it fourteen?
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Let's just say there's a tremendous number of layers and
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: they've worked out that six And I even thought sex
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: was a bit over the top personally. I mean, you
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: think about where you sit in this company and how
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: close you are to the CEO. I mean, obviously very important,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: but so there's not many you know, there's not many
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: between you and the boss. But you know six is
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: plenty twelve or fourteen?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I mean you're serious.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, how does that work? So you can't just
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: throw money at itise precisely. So anyway, we'll talk to
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: we'll talk to a couple of people about that, including
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: the Prime Minister who's with us up to seven.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Thirty again, Mike Hoskin with you in just a few moments.
• 34:07
