Head be Welcome to Day, might have a speed bump on the old medicals, killer in Wykatto puberty block of Devator's back. Some councils are going to get to borrow more? Is that wise? Scott Barrett is informitably for a word, timicating to the work of course King being a Friday and Richard Anald murral to do a couple of offshore locals Cask Hosky, Welcome to the Today, seven past six. I tell you what I'm trying to work out, which I like least at the moment Elon musk or Disney. Elon bought Twitter, turned it into X. He paid forty four billion. They say it's worth about ten billion. Now he doesn't care it's worth ten billion because a lot of corporates, of course, bailed because of its ugliness. He argues it's free speech, but it's free speech at the lowest level, so it's ugly. He still defends it. It makes life for a libertarian like me difficult because I like the idea of truly free speech, and as a result of that belief, I have nothing to do with X, of course, because I have standards. But it's also apparent that as good as a concept may be that free speech is good to have, when left to its own devices, it is indeed an ugly place and vulnerable people get hurt. So that's Elon. Disney were one of those who bailed because they didn't like what they see. But the Financial Times suggests that they are heading back to X now that Trump has won and Trump likes Elon, and Elon might be spending a lot of time at the White House, so Disney wants in on the action and the influence. Now if that's true, and it's not just Disney, of course, it whole bunch of corporates that makes them hypocrites and hypocrites of the worst sort, high and mighty, but only when it suits. Full of principle, as long as they end up on the right side, whatever the current right side happens to be, they are fair weather, flipping and flopping with the times. They when hopelessly woke, of course, in their movies, until Bob Ayger came back and said, the reason I'm back is because you're losing money, and you're losing money because you woke. Having principles. Once upon a time, of course, was quite the thing that was expected. It was common until it wasn't. These days, corporates too often don't know who they are, so they end up moral blemonge. We saw it here during COVID furious. They were furious at the government and private pussy cats in public. You would hope there's a lesson there somewhere that they might want to learn and do something about. Elon is at least reasonably consistent. You don't have to like it, but he is true to his word, and it's cost him thirty five billion. An expert. Then he found Donald and the balance has been more than rectified, of course, so what does he care, which I guess ultimately means it's Disney. I like Disney less than I like Elon, And that's saying something.

Why News of the World in ninety second.

But a missile talk for you. The Russians are Tassan into continental into Ukraine. Although the Russians night anyway, if it happened, that's because of the storm shadows yesterday.

The UK is now directly involved in this war. Because this fighting cannot happen without the without need to stuff British stuff as well Asukiya wasn't for turning.

Russia could roll back their forces and end this war tomorrow, but until then we will stand up for when we know is right for Traine security and for our own security.

And there was his defense secretary.

There are unconfirmed but media reports today of Russia firing a new ballistic missile into Ukraine, which they we know have been preparing for months.

Speaking of was. The ICEC has issued a couple of arrest warrants. One of them is for a mister b nittn Yahoo of Israel.

They have reasonable grounds to believe that those two men have been carrying out to the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

Then back in Britain, a couple of things. One John Prescott has died aged eighty six years old. Mate Tony with fond memes.

We had our disagreements from time to time, but he was loyal, committed an enormous help to me, and he had a fantastic gut instinct about politics.

And to the ongoing inquiry introduced how dodgy Captain Tom's family was with the charity. Money doesn't make the good reading.

We found repeated personal benefit from the ingram Maws. There was a book deal done worth one point four million pounds and there was eighteen thousand pound from an award ceremony.

What a bunch of crooks. Finally we've got the first millennia ill to be turned into a saint died called Carlos A. Cutis was a London teenager died of leukemia at the age of fifteen. He had a social media presence that spread the teaching of the Catholic Church to the point that his nickname was God's Influencer. I'd have become a saint. Of course, you need to have performed a couple of miracles, and the Cutis was attributed with healing a Brazilian kid with a congenital little disease of the pancreas, and then Pope Francis attributed the healing of a university student in Florence with a brain lead to him as well. So two miracles and the old Saint Department stamp that is a saint and that'll happen in April next year, News of the World. In ninety John Prescott, by the Way, eighty six, as I mentioned, died peacefully to the sound of jazz music at his care home. He'd been living with Alzheimer's. Of course, former trade union activists served in Blair's government. You heard Tony there for ten years, Kingston on Hull East. That was a seat and he held it for four decades. One of the more colorful characters of the business. Twelve past six.

And just to prove the world is mad if you didn't catch up with it. Yesterday in New York that banana artwork went for six million. And not only did it go for six million, the guy's going to eat it. The bananas always going to be left with. There's a bit of duct take. Fourteen past six, my wealth Andrew Callahan, Good morning, very good morning, Mike. I love in video, not because what it does, because I'm not that grouped by chips, but the numbers all by themselves are just unbelievable, aren't they striking?

Isn't it make Yeah, they came, they saw they sold billions of dollars withorth of silicon chips markets have survived the release of Q three and means from in video Now yesterday morning, I sort of highlighted the risk that the result could be material away from expectations. Well, it wasn't material away. It was slightly above market consensus expectations, although it may not have topped some of the lofty and more optimistic forecast. Yeah, revenue just a smidge and over thirty five US billion dollars. And if you think that's almost double what it was twelve months previously, which is quite a striking result. That thirty five billion was above those market expectations. Data center revenue that's a major part of in video revenue thirty point eight billion. That's a record high for that category. For in video profits nearly doubled from a year earlier to nineteen point three billion. And we heard that the Blackwell chips that we mentioned yesterday, they're expected to start shipping.

In the fourth quarter.

I thought some of the comments Mike made at the conference school after the renultant result announcement are very worthy of repeating. So the boss Jensen Huang, he said it is the case that demand exceeds our supply and there's not many businesses that size that can make that sort of comment, and that's expected as we're in the beginning of this generative AI revolution. CFO, the chief financial officer Collect Cress on the conference call, said Blackwell demand is staggering. Now Hawaan had called it insane, it's now been called staggering they. Cress then said, we're racing to scale supply to meet to meet incredible demand customers are placing on us. These are pretty frothy comments. And yeah, the final comment that Hawaan made, he said AI is transforming every industry, company and country as enterprises at every level integrate AI into their workflows. And here's another comment which you just rarely hear from a business. He said, in Vidia is set to benefit exponentially. We love the word exponentially make but I mean, look, the share price is stable. It hasn't moved a heck of a lot down one point four percent, I think is I looked at it now, but you've just got to remember twelve months ago share post at forty eight bucks. It's now one hundred and forty four so astounding.

Just by way of contrast, let's come back to New Zealand's dominant speech and things are not quite as frothy as we might have hoped.

Non apologies for this, you know, I know it's a Friday, but this is a little reality check yesterday from Dominic Stevens, who is the Chief Economic Advisor to Treasury.

Now.

I've been wandering around the country for the last few weeks Mike, chatting and talking to the good folk out there, and I felt like a bit of a prophet of doom because my message has been that while twenty twenty five has promised to be better economically, the here and now is still pretty challenged and it could take a.

While to see improvement.

And the data well, mister Stevens gave a speech yesterday and he made some comments in a similar context at the same time, and it's worthy of ever read the speech at the same time, talking about the long run challenges posed by aging population.

Now.

The speech was titled New Zealand's Challenging Fiscal Contexts, which will be a tough headline for fun as Minister nicola willis to read. And he says that later start to suggests economic activity has been weaker than anticipated in Treasury's Budget twenty twenty four forecasts notes that since here's a great this is awful. He notes that since the September twenty twenty two quarter, per capita GDP has fallen four point six percent. That is a larger per capita recession than after the GFC.

Take that into the weekend.

Recent data has suggested that the economic downtown has been deeper and the recovery may begin later than Treasury forecast at Budget twenty twenty four. And this, obviously, and this is my comment, this is implications for government revenue. So we en nowt with now a weight with great interest the half yearly Economic and Physical Update that's due for release on December the seventeenth, which will be a nice little Christmas present for financial markets to absorb.

Give me the numbers I can.

The Dow Jones is now up three hundred and sixty points er point eight three percent forty three thy seven hundred and sixty eight. The S and P five hundred is up nine five nine two six. The nasdak's a little bit weaker. It's down a third of one percent eighteen thy nine hundred and five. The FORTS one hundred overnight GAINO point seven nine percent eight one four nine. The closed there the nicket down point eight five percent three eight oh two six Shanghai Composite Game two yesterday, so just a small rise. The A six two hundred also barely changed down three, closing at eight three two two. The innsesects fifty gain twenty eight points to close at twelve thousand, seven hundred and sixty five. Now Kiwi dollar, it's a little bit weaker point five to eighty five to one against the US. It's also sort of flirting with the ninety cent mark against the Aussie dollar point eight nine nine nine. We don't often see it down there, point five five eighty seven against the euro, point four six four nine against the pound, ninety point four to five. Japanese en golders are still recovering two thousand, six hundred and sixty four dollars, and Brent Cruiz just edged up a little bit more seventy three dollars and eighty five cents.

More expensive perpetrol and a crap dollar sounds good. Hey, you got it. You're off to South Carolina and go well and fly well. Does it get boring having so many holidays or is it not?

At all that's the great thing about it, Mike, that's the great thing about it.

I highly recommend it. All Right, you go, well, we'll see you soon. Andrew Kelleher Jmiwealth dot co dot in Zenasket. I checked the weather from seventeen degrees still mild in that particular part of the world. My food Bag, I can give you some reasonable news. Profit rose eighteen percent. They'll take that. On revenue down two percent, which is interesting. Deliveries down as well, but the one hundred and twenty eight dollars if you're under the My food Bag, that's the average spend on a weekly basis, gross margins and proof. So they'll like that. And the customer numbers have stabilized. There are sixty one thousand New Zealanders who like a bit of My food Bag. Six twenty one, you're at Newstalk zed Bo.

Talks at b Infra Metrics. I backed up what Dominic from the Reserve Bank was saying. And Andrew was just telling us a moment ago. It's unfortunate my obviously, I think we've all concluded Q three, which we don't have the number four. We've completed Q three, but we don't have the number four that will be negative, so that'll be three recessions and two years. The concern now is where the Q four, which is what we're in, is going to be negative as well. Green shoots starting to appear, says Infometrics in the primary sector. We've covered that on the program this week. I mean, dairy obviously is doing fantastically. Thank god, Rich is going to update us the DOJ want Google to sell Chrome? I believe that when I see it. And yesterday and we'll get to Murray later on in the program. Yesterday Elbow officially put the paperwork into the House as in the Parliament on the social media business, which is another thought bubble of delusion from a left leaning government. I mean, wouldn't it be wonderful to think it would work, but it won't. Finds of up to fifty million. This is banning kids on on TikTok and x and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and all that sort of stuff. So Murray's with us later on that six twenty five.

Now with House the real House of frequencies, why don't.

You Spotify record the fastest song to hit a billion streams. Previous was this called seven Monday. It's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, seven days. K pop band BTS member. By the way, there's a big K pop debate in South Korea at the moment over another band, and they claim new genes. They claimed they were being abused and sort of not literally but but but they were being treated fairly poorly and it wasn't acceptable and the record company were no good and they went to their whatever South Korea run as a sort of an employment authority, and the employment authority decided yesterday that K pop band members are not workers.

Influencers are not workers.

Anyway, where was I? So that song was going to a biggin really fast. That took one hundred and eight days. But this one, Lady Gagar and Bruno Mars, their song Die with a Smile has achieved the billion streams in ninety six days. Now here's the thing. It won't come as any surprise to you to know that I hadn't heard the song. But what was a surprise is young Sammy across the computer screen from me, a man on the cutting edge of the zeitgeist, he hadn't heard it either.

I hadn't heard it either.

That comes once again, Breen. There's no surprise here of Boomer Radio. It has nominated that the Grammy's the Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo of the Year. It is number one in Belgian, Greece, Iceland, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, eleven On, Luxembourg and Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, philipp Beans, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Surinam, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. Apart from that, no one's ever heard of it. It's like an old people saying, Hi, I'm heard of that.

Have you heard of that?

Can?

And I can't do that anyway. It's hot to trot to use a cutting edge phrase.

You're trusted Home The News for Entertainment's Opinion and Mike the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Range Rover Villa designed to intrigue can use Togs vs.

Shart begins the Gates nomination. As I said to you on the program last week, I was watching a couple of people and they spent a lot of time trying to second guess the Gates nomination. The Gates nomination was so weird that they were trying to think, what does it mean? Does it mean obviously he's going to fail because everyone knows he was going to fail. I read a very good article that said there is no way they could not find more than twenty senators who would vote for him, ever, because a lot of senators actually take their job seriously. So then people started saying, wow, given that is that, they get him up their stalking horse, trojan horse. He fails. Then they slipped somebody in that's a bit weird, that wouldn't have passed the first time, but gets by a second time. And then the best voice I heard was on a debate I was watching on c and then he goes, you know what, I think it is? What it is. I think Trump wants him to be in the job and take it at face value. Anyway, it's all falling apart now, of course, because he went along with J. D. Barnce yesterday.

J D.

Bannce turned up in Washington yesterday before he turned up in Washington head X, Donald J. Trump has just won a major electoral victory. His coat tails turned a forty nine to fifty one Senate to fifty three forty seven. He deserves a cabinet that is loyal to the agenda he was elected to implement. When into the meeting, came out of the meeting, Gates now is gone withdrawn his name. It's over. So maybe he'll put that woman who ran the wrestling in That, by the way, is worth watching if you haven't seen mister McMahon, which is on Netflix, and it's an insight into just how big WWEWWF is and just how influential McMahon and his wife who's now going to head the education department, unless he too turns out to be so weird they can't cope with it. Just how fascinating that business is. Twenty two minutes away from seven anyway, Speaking of which, more from Richard Arnold shorty. While we're on the broad subject, The United States Business Summit is on today here could be interesting trade, security, foreign policy, as you would expect, that's the order of the day. The Aukland Business Chamber of CEO Simon Bridges is whether, Simon, how are you hey boarding?

Mike and not?

Could be interesting? It will be interesting Mike by definition.

Good spruk. Are you going to talk? How many times in the day will the word Trump be used? Do you think.

You know, this is New Zealand's It wouldn't surprise me if people at a level find ways and euphemisms for that. But I mean I think, you know, let's think about it, it couldn't be at a level a better time for a summit like this is hugely consequential. I mean, he won big, he's got the Congress, as you say, he can put in WWF stars if he wants, and the geopolitics is immense. So me, what I'm looking forward to seeing is really how the government plays that. We've got Prime Minister Luxin and Trade Minister Todd McLay coming along. How they got to play it on tariffs and you know, I don't think it's good enough, and doesn't they say, well, we need to wait and see. Actually, you know, if you think about it, Winston was born for a time such as this. I mean, this is the guy who has had a policy platform that's broadly similar to what we see from a new administration. Looks safer and probably more sanitized. But you know, he can Todd McClay, who's a wily operator, get over there and really work the angles on tariffs, or at least, if not get rid of them you know, get us favorable treatment on these things. So these are sort of things I think we'll be able to delve into and get offense off is.

Are you trepidaceous in general? I mean, how much of what you think might happen will happen from America's point of view?

Well, I hope, I hope you know by now I'm some thing of a contrarian. So you know, I think that the general view in New Zealand is, look, this is this is absolutely terrible. It's catastrophic. Could there be anything worse than they can be?

Wrong?

When I talk about tariffs and multi lateralism and and how President Trump plays a bunch of things, you know, there's definitely concerns to be to be had there, But I think it's going to be rather maybe you know glass half well, I think it can be rather better than that. As I say, I think New Zealand personally as good at righting the waves and working the angles. And I think what's also true, just to think about this. When Trump got in last time, the first thing he did in trade was he ripped up CPTPP, which is our one chance of getting an FTA with him. But if you what happened in New Zealand American trade. Well, it flourished actually from a bunch of primary sectors that we'd always done well, and we were in rockets, we're in a bunch of other euospace and technology, deep text stuff, and we've seen the numbers grow actually almost exponentially. So personally, I think we ca again have some optimism about this. I think what's true is it can definitely be rather better than the critics in New Zealand may think.

I like your style. You go well. Joint Simon bridges Auckland a business chamber CEO, nineteen minutes away from seven, asking speak of which I'm John King? Who you know? I'm a fan of CNN political operator. Anyway, before the election, he went round America, talked to a whole lot of people, got a vibe for what was going on as far as voting was concerned. He's now done a piece and he's gone back and he talked to some of the people who voted for Trump and why they voted for Trump. Many of them were people who may or may not have been voting for Trump, used to vote the Democrats and now vote Republican, etc. Listen to this woman's a woman called Shannon Ebersol. She's an Iowa farmer, and she references us.

Why are we bringing Argentinian beef in? Why are we bringing New Zealand and Australian beef in and then exporting some of our beef? Why don't we first just feed our beef to our Americans.

Now it's a very good point she makes. I mean, it's not a good point. It's an ignorant point. But that's how many Americans think. So the answer to a question is our beef is vastly superior to theirs, and a lot of people like quality. But when you've got a person like Sharon and there are millions of them, how do you get past that if you're trying to sprink your product in that part of the world. Day Richard's next seventeen to two.

Be unbelievable hypocrisy. Mike from jan Toinetti are labor serious. Incredibly they think the hardker Art burst was justified. Fair text, let me come back to it.

Six forty five International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business General.

Morning to you good.

What do you make?

You could argue it was always going to end up this way, couldn't you?

Yes, But this is pretty fast moving, is it not? Matt Gates pulling out from the nomination for Chief Justice position as Attorney General. It comes to Gates had just been on Capitol Hill yesterday, as you were saying, in company with Jadvan, the Vice President elect, trying to compel senators to vote for Gates. Then came this bombshell new disclosure that the Ethics Panel had word of another sexual encounter at the same party back in twenty seventeen, where Gates was said to have had sex with an underage girl aged seventeen. What is notable about this new testimony is that this second sexual encounter at the party also involved another adult woman who has denied there was a threesome. But all this was a bit much. So here is the first loss by Team Trump, which has been issuing political threats as it tries to keep Senators in line. Earlier, the Ethics Panel refused to release the report into gates sexual activities. The panel has what five Republicans five Dems. They did agree to complete the report but then one of the Dems came out of the media accusing the Republican Committee chair of suggesting they'd reached some settlement. They had not, said this Democrat Susan Wilds, who said that the committee boys had betrayed the process, so senators were playing their games. At the same time, the New York Times had released an FBI chart that they had obtained showing a series of payments by Gates and by his cohort Joel Greenberg, who's serving an eleven year prison term for sex trafficking. That FBI chart shows some twenty seven payments, including some of the ten thousand dollars in gates payments to the two women who said earlier that he had paid them for sex that included cash for that high schooler, said her lawyer, Joel Leppard.

The amounts that were provided on the screen during their testimony Buy the House was from one client over six thousand payments directly from representative Gates to my client, and the amount was a little over four thousand directly from representive Gates to my client.

So a lot involved in all of this. One Trump aid had been warning, quote, the message is if you're on the wrong side of the vote. You're buying yourself a primary, that is all. There's a guy named Elon Musk who was going to finance it. So so much for that. Even as the Gates debarcle was playing out, the president of Lex Defense Choice Fox and Friends Weekend TV co host Pete Heggsas is on Capitol Hill right now as well, trying to win support as a graphic police document has just come out on the claim by a woman he met at a Republican women's conference, a claim that he had sexually assaulted her. Heggs Seth denies that, says he was cleared since no charges were brought. At the same time, this thing is pretty lurid. This woman, whose name is not being released, says HeiG Seth was hitting on several women at the Republican conference, putting his hand on their legs. His accuser says they got into an argument, then she says she believes someone had slipped something into her drink. She says she then awoke in Hegseth's room, that she was hazy and only barely conscious, and that he had taken her phone and blocked the doorway. Hegg Seth says the sex was consensual, So that's part of that story. Elsewhere, Nikki Haley, who was on Trump's who was Trump's you an ambassador in his first season and his former campaign opponent, of course, is slamming the choice of Tulsey Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. So that's another story still playing out that says Hayley.

This is not a place for a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer.

So the Murdoch, Wall Street Journal and New York Post Today also are opposing Gabbard. So will any of that prevail against Trump and co?

And what chance Google get rid of Chrome?

Well, yeah, this is interesting. The Justice Department is proposing the breakup of Google and it's a two triggeron dollar operation. Along with the number of state states as well. The Federal Department is asking the court to force Google to reshape competition on the Internet. They want Google to, among other things, so that web browser Chrome, which dominates the market has about two thirds of users. The EJ also is asking Google to sell Android, its smartphone operating system, which again is the most popular on the mobile phone market, with an estimated seventy percent plus of software systems over This is going to be furiously challenged by googlers, you'd expect, So don't anticipate any moves until late next year at the earliest.

Have a good weekend, Richard Arnold state, So, by the way, he's busy Trump at the moment. Susan Collins and Makowski, who are a couple of Republicans, but they sort of lean centrist, if not left. They've been backing up and voting for Biden's picks on the judiciary or at the judiciary. And there's still a couple of dozen more to go, and so Trump's desperately trying to stop the courts as he sees it being stacked with left wingers. It's an interesting insight and how much influence the president has on the judicial process. Since he's been in Senate's confirmed two hundred and sixteen nominees for this federal judiciary. There are two hundred and sixty one in place, so they're still about what fifty to go. Nine away from seven.

Called the Mike Hosking break best with Bailey's news dog Zendy.

Unbelievable hypocrisy yesterday from Jantinetti Mike Laiby serious, I would defend Labor on this. I think what Erica Stanford did was wrong. I was happened to be watching, of course because I'm a tragic but it was about the school bus routes and Labour's got a thing at the moment. Now that the Casey Costello campaign that were running between Asheveril and Casey Costello over the heated tobacco has fallen apart because the Order to General wasn't having a bar of it. They've moved on to rural school bus routes and the government of mucking around with school bus routes, changing some of them, canceling some of them, and so Tananetti was all over that and they were going it was a bit of back and forth. It was really it wasn't even that sort of interesting until at the very end, once Tannetti and she's been doing this for a couple of days this week in question time, until Tananetti the n asked for a question, Stanford came back and laid out all the bus routes that Labor had canceled in their time, thus pulling the rug out from under Tannetti. At which point I'm assuming Erica felt pretty good about herself and Caldry. You know what, but there is no excuse for this lang, for this language and that sort of attitude. And she did stand and apologize quickly, so you can't. Unfortunately, five minutes away from seven B, the ins.

And the ouse.

It's the fiz with business fiber, take your business productivity to the.

Next level, glass houses and all that first attempt from Rachel Reeves to grow the economy. This is Britain, not to put two fine a point on it is not working. We got new numbers from the Office of National Stats. It shows the government borrowed more than expected. No keetting pushed the public finances deeper into the red. Government borrowed thirty seven point four billion dollars last month alone, second highest October figure since record began in nineteen ninety three. They were only expected to borrow twenty six point five billion. Book what's eleven billion between friends. They also borrow thirty four billion in September. Public sector net borrowing was three point four billion dollars higher than the same month last year. The level of monthly interest needed to pay that particular amount of debt is monthly interest. You're ready monthly interest, not paying it down just paying the monthly interest bill. It's nineteen point six billion dollars each and every month, and that's a record. Of course, this was indeed signaled by Reeves because she is from Labor, and she said, we are here to spend and borrow and borrow and spend. She would increase spending on public services by four point three percent this year, two point six percent next year, one point three percent for the three years after that. Economists say there is no doubt that if she wants to stick to those spending increases, she will need to further raise taxes to pay for it. At this point, thousands of poms, if not millions of Palms, are going, oh goodness, May why did I vote for the Labor Party? This isn't very good. They cut my eating payment and they're up e my taxes. And that's before you get to the inflation debate. Of course, if you throw a lot of money into the economy, especially borrowed money, that tends to be inflationary. And they sort of had the inflation under control until we oh, Whoopscott the inflation number, as I told you, But was it yesterday or the day before it came out? That went up? More than they thought it would now Medical school at Wykato, third medical school. We need a third medical school. David seymore has found some problems with it. I'm not sure if he's found problems with the school itself or the idea itself. That's why he's on the program. In a couple of moments, Scott Barrett's let's talk Rugby Italy styles. He's with us up to seven.

Thirty, the newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to costing, Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, commercial and rural news talks.

Dad being seven past seven, So I've got a question mark around the new proposed medical school in Wycatto. It's National Party policy, of course, but Act to wonder about the maths and whether it all adds up. The ACT leader David Seymour's with us. Very good morning to you, Good morning. Make This is not this is not an argument around whether we need more doctors or not. This is an argument around the cost of training them. Is that fair or not.

Yeah, it's absolutely an argument around how you get more doctors. But you've got to go through all of the questions before you decide how to do that. So, for example, would it make sense to increase the subsidies for GPS as acts campaigned on to stop them leaving? Would it help to change the funding formula which frustrates a lot of doctors And anecdotally, while many work every hour God gives them, there's others who actually look at the formula and so it makes sense to work fewer days per week for lifestyle reasons. Would it make sense to expand the two very good medical schools we've got before we eat the fixed costs on creating a new one? And this I think is a very good example of the coalition agreement working well. At to National have quite a different view on this, but we're put together a process for working through our differences and matters full cost benefit analysis on what really is the best way to get more doctors? Is it to plug the hole in the bucket or is it to keep putting more water in a very expensive water?

In this case, can Auckland and the Tiger actually expand.

They absolutely believe that they can.

Logically, you know, they're.

Not necessarily large med schools by world standards, and what limit is there anyway?

So can you materially put on a piece of paper, it costs X to train a student at Auckland or the Tigo versus why at a Tiger, why Kato. Therefore it doesn't make any sense or not.

Well, that's the job of the cost benefit analysis, and the government's commissioned people to do it. They had to go at it. We pointed out that they hadn't actually counted the cost of training specialists, only the costs of training gps, which we thought was not quite right. And they've made a lot of assumptions about whether or not a GP trained at Wykatta would be more likely to stay in a rural area. If we pointed out that Hamilton is not actually a rural area anymore, and Auckland and Otago have extensive training schemes where GPS train in the community anyway, including ironically in Hamilton. So you know, you can go back and forth with all these arguments. But if we're going to spend taxpayer money, and I think one of 's jobs is to be well where the Association of consumers and taxpayers technically our job is to be a second pair of eyes on government spending, especially in these times, then we've got to be sure this is actually the best, most efficient way to get both fair enough, if.

The numbers don't stack up, they don't stack up. Having said that, this is a five tom, Have you been recruited by a tiger in Auckland because they don't like the fivedom broken? No.

I got recruited by Auckland about twenty four years ago. But you know, I've been lobbied by all three universities, and my loyalty is not to any of the three. It's to the taxpayer. If anything, I look at the way the University of Auckland's behaving to valuing my degree with a forty second in the world where I was there now were one hundred and fiftieth. Because of the unending crap that they insist on teaching students instead of actual science in academia, I'd probably be that I was prejudiced. It would be against Orkland.

No, No, you got me going now that course next year that they're going to make you take in Maori. Why are you part of a government that allows that bollocks to come to pass?

Mainly because the government has pretty limited ability to influence universities their self governing entities, we are putting in place laws that say they have to have a free speech policy. I know Penny Simmons, Minister for Tertiary is as quickly as possible. She did nothing panting better people to the boards.

Yeah, well she's only she's just about had a year.

But I just make the point to a lot of people. You know, people say why haven't you changed everything? If this was Pyongyang, I would have. But as a New Zealander, I actually want to live at a society with independent institutions that can act on their own terms, with some trust in society, even if I don't agree with everything that every institution's doing right now. So can we change it?

Yep?

Can we change it right away?

No?

But I want to live in a society where a politician like me could change every institution straight away.

Definitely not good to see it. David Seymour, Act Party Leader. By the way, if you haven't followed, if you're on social media, it was alluded to it yesterday because I'm not on social media Actor now sticking up what they call the bridgewalk, and the bridgewalk is when the politician leaves the officers and goes to the Parliament and the media gather around them and start firing off one hundred different questions act in our filming that as an exercise. And if you ever want to see just how unhinged some of the media in this country are. It's the stuff we'll never put on the television at night and you'll never actually hear until you see that. Go watch some of them and shake your head in dismay. Twelve minutes past seven, the Ministry of healths brief on puberty blockers. That's our doctors have been told to take a precautionary approach due to insufficient evidence. This comes as well with the toughest set of rules for prescribing now. The University of Auckland pediatric indrochronologist Paul Hoffman is where's Paul? Very good moaning to you. Thank you, Mike, Am I correct in saying you were a reviewer of some of this stuff.

Yeah, I was an externer review to just go through it after the initial drafts have been made.

How many people are actually affected by this in this country versus how many people potentially get exercised about the topic generally.

Really good question, and I think one of the frustrations we don't know for sure there'll be several hundred, probably like talking of one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty, but I think the numbers are a lot larger than that in ters of those of humanity blockers, but we don't know for sure, And that is one of the requests I've made is that that Farmac makes the drug identifiable for transgender use, so that we can get a good idea of how many there are.

How much evidence, how much of this is evidence based versus theory based, ideologically based.

Well, I think that's what's about. And I think the review very clearly, and I think it's a very sensible review. It goes down the road because there, I think if you look at the wider safety, looking at all the kids of which there are one hundreds of thousands over the last thirty years been on the strug, it is a very safe, reversible drug. But in terms of us efficacy there's much the data is poor, and that just reflects doctors not assuming that's going to work without actually following up and making sure it does.

And what are the odds of how much variation is there? Because presumably you started on the journey of this with a GP is there is there variation all over the place.

Yeah.

Yeah, We've had a right spaced approach and Zealand as opposed to a more evidence based approach for some time. In other words, it's a personas they feel trans that see right to have the stridit medication as opposed to being evidence space justifiable done in a modern displute team where there's mental health support, other issue, another expertise. And so I think we are going down what the risk most of the risk of the world are doing, is going down to a more conservative, evidence spased approach with the right round care for these very problecuts.

Good all right, Paul, you have a good week. I appreciate it very much. Paul Hopman, Pediatric endo chronologist. Councils will be able to borrow more or some of them? Is this wise more? Shortly fourteen past the.

Scott Barrett coming shortly seventeen past seven. New idea for councils around deb If you in a high growth area, you will be able to borrow more the local government. New Zealand President Sam Broughton's with us on the same morning to you.

Yeah, good morning, Mark.

The criteria for high growth, I get it, But when you're forecasting out a good number of years, is that watering into the world of guesswork.

Well, I think it's important to look at what the government's responding to, and that's the need to address rates, affordability and think about the infrastructure deficit that New Zealand currently has. So lifting the threshold to three hundred and fifty percent will make a material differense for many councils and as a good news story, and we welcome the Yeah, it's.

It's a good news story because if you borrow more to build a bridge or a pipe or whatever, that's brilliant. But then councils tend not to pay it back, and then they reach their limit and then the next thing you're doing is talking about increasing the limit, which is very American, isn't it.

Well, it does still have to be paid back, and I think that's a key thing for New Zealanders to understand, which want better infrastructure, we are going to have to pay for it. But this infrastructure lasts, you know, fifty one hundred years, and so being able to borrow it over a longer period of time as important rather than just today's rate payers having to funds infrastructure that's going on the ground last.

A long time.

Can you hate name me any councils who pay back their debt.

Yeah, my council pays back. It's debt.

That's part of part of being the responsible governor is making sure that we understand.

Your count your counselors, that you're one of the hut councils here.

No, I'm a mire of Cellon District.

My apologies. So you've paid back how much in terms of principle as opposed to interest.

So we take our debts over different profiles of time.

It depends on what we're borrowing for and we pay that back according to LGFA rule. So that means obviously there's quite a lot of interest in the first parts of loans and it's similar to bankle ending. But we make sure that over time we've paid back the debt and we profile that over our ten year plan.

Is your debt going down or not.

It will go down over ten years, but at the moment we're a high growth council will be borrowing more over.

So you're not really paying a Backstam, you're borrowing more as you pay it back. You borrow more, is what I'm saying.

Yes, yes, well and a high growth purpose and you're going to have to borrow more to fund the infrastructure that growth requires.

My point being, are we not simply getting ourselves as much as we all agree we need some infrastructure. That's true, But are we simply not getting into more and more and more debt and inevitably that's going to bite us in the bump.

Yes, we are borrowing more and more debt and we have to because rate paths currently can't afford to fund the infrastructure deficit we're in. So at the moment, council's got two options rate or borrow, and borrowing has been opened up, so that's good. We're looking for new tools from the governments to fund local government. Yesterday we launched twenty five new tools and those would help the rating impact. We could have GST on new builds, returns, mineral extraction royalties returned to local governments, local settings of fees and charges without legislation. Those things would help the rating impact rather than needing to borrow.

All right, man, appreciate it very much. Sam Broughton, the LG. Wonder who's the guy I was thinking of on the hut? Then? Who used to be with the local government? Or am I just literally making things up? Time to Marke Week seven twenty.

Now. The original Gladiator film, as we were talking about yesterday with Joe and Italy, came out in two thousand, so it's over twenty years ago. Is twenty four years ago. In fact, absolute classic. If you've been waiting for the for the sequel, well you're in luck because Gladiator two it's in cinemas now. A Gladiator two continues the epic saga of power and intrigue and vengeance set in ancient Rome. Of course, Ridley Scott's back, so the sequels in good hands at plus the cast absolutely star studed. What have we got? Paul Meskell, Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington. And years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle Lucius, he is forced to enter the Colisseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fest with rage in his heart and the future of the empire at stake. Lucius must look to his past too fine strength and honor the return and return the glory of Rome to its people. This is an epic saga. As you can tell by my voice. It's an picksaga continues with Gladiator two and Cinemas now rated R sixteen. Pasking I's thinking of Campbell Berry, who's the VP? Not completely insane?

Look this, I'm disappointed in that just because there's one idiot in the room, don't make it too just because there's one wrong doesn't make it a right. Mike, what's your view on the economist's view on our fiscal management and the criticism of willis? Do you agree? Well, I featured this on the program yesterday. You got a tune in every day six through nine, and well, I'm asking three hours each day, five days a week. Come on, it's not that it's Robert mccallor's work. I read it out yesterday. I don't agree with him as much as he agrees with himself, but I don't think he's wrong. And my only defense, as I said yesterday, is there one year in and so time they got two more, so give them a break. But some of the underlying points he makes about the government in general, I've gotten elements of sympathy with.

Of course, assuming Italy gets beaten, that will be ten victories, four losses ten four season All Blacks Captain Scott Barris with Scott Barrett with us from Duran. Good morning, going very well. Indeed take us through the week in terms of moving on from France and shifting your mindset to Italy.

Yeah, it's yeh took of it to get over that game. Still probably haven't to be honest.

Yeah, sort of.

Using that as a bit of fuel for this weekend. But you can't really change that result and it will probably be you know, a bit of a people under the beach towel as Yeah, an old coach once said, when you're not quite you know now the India Tours, as you'd like.

What's the rais of thinking much much is being made this morning of the quality of the side being named against Italy. What's the rais of thinking behind a full strength side?

I think you've got to give Italy credit. And you know we've we've we've headed up north on this tour and we've wanted to you know, test ourselves against the best and you know, I guess restore a bit of manna in the Jersey and you know at times, you know, we haven't really done too well up here in previous tours and at the World Cup, I guess, but yeah, I guess that's probably a bit of reasoning. Ways he sent the full cavalry out for Italy.

How has the build up if it has changed this week, given we're at the end of the tour, there's a bit of fatigue. I'm assuming there are certainly some injuries. Does it change dramatically or not?

Yeah.

The experienced medicals and strengths and conditioning guys, you know, like Gillie, they have the expertise and pull back on some stuff. It's you know, you're not going to get any further this week. It's about getting the body right for Saturday and ultimately putting the performance in for eighty minutes that we can be proud of. Yeah.

And how and how do you feel how you personally come through the tour?

Yeah, I'm a little bit. Yeah, I've sort of imagine a week this week. Your raises, you know, just said to me get your body right for Saturday, and you know, set out of a few of the reps on on training just to you know, freshen up and really fill the tank for the one last effort against Italy.

Assuming it goes well ten to four for the season, I would say that, I mean, that's not bad, is it.

I guess I wouldn't say that it's great. You know, this team has high expectations and you know we come second or potentially even third. I guess in the Rugby Championship against South Africa and its Lee losing to the Sorry and Argentina losing to them. You know, I think h Then to the India tour, we had a focus on improving each game and I think we did that, Yeah, narrowly, narrowly losing to France that they weren't hurt, and you know, I think that the team would be better for that. There's a lot of young guys who have wore the jersey for the first time and really stepped up, which is pleasing to see and you know holds well for the future.

What about a couple of names. TJ comes off the bench. I'm assuming he'll get some game time given it to his last But what are people like Sam Kine. It's a fair well presumably all you guys rally around them.

Yeah, Sam and TJ are certainly given a lot to the All Black jersey and the team over the past few years, and I guess particularly Sam, you know, then captain and it's great to have him and then around the environment the last year and you know, he's been huge for this group and he's he's just a great leader and a great man. So hopefully we can send them off in the right manner for a good performance and.

What happens to the side, Scott, after that you're all dispersing to Europe, you're coming home. What happens there?

Yeah, there's promotional activities at the end of the year for one group. I think they're going to Geneva for true to promos and then never undisperses most head back to New Zealand. So yeah, I think a few boys I be looking forward to a much Yeah, preserve break. There's a few dang du bodies. But yeah, hopefully we get through this game and you know that's eighty minute performance that we can hang a hat on and be proud of.

All right, go well, mate, Scott Barrett, All Blacks captain out of Churin for us this morning. It's term ninety minutes away from it.

Tasking.

I'm like fy twenty thirty thirty five forty. What do you reckon? Mind? You originally any better than they used to be. Mike incorrect about our beef being superior to US beef. US consumers unanimously prefer. Well, that's simply not true. The word is right. They don't unanimously prefer, because if they did, we wouldn't export any beef to America unanimously prefer their grain fed beef and consider our grass fed product inferior. Well, they're wrong, of course. Beef trade to the US is so lucratives have. We've got favorable quota access and they use their lean beef for grinding into hamburger patties. Just let me give you a quick lesson on the grass b grain and the reason we're so successful internationally because of health benefits. The health benefits of grass is typically leaner, better for your heart. Grass feed is higher in essential nutrients that's tied to improve dimmunity and anti inflam benefits as well more antioxidants. They can lower the risk of diseases like heart disease and certain types of cancer. There are more omega three fatty acids, not as many as salmon, but Nevertheless, more than grain and grass fed beef is about two to three dollars more expensive per pound because it's a premium product. So by the time you get the beef and the lamb and the wine into that particular part of the world. And that's why it was discussing. I can't remember who it was with, but I suggested is that at least in part possible it was the main frat guy. Is at least in part possible that some of our stuff, even with tariffs, are going to go into America and by the time they end up on Fifth Avenue, there's enough people with enough money in that particular part of the world that if you have to pay an extra dollar for a bottle of wine or an extra dollar for a pound of beef, they're happy to do it because they've got the money and its top quality and people will always buy top quality. Quality. Beats quantity every day of the week seventeen to two.

Before I leave the broad subject of rugby. Very good piece in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday, interview with Joe Schmidt, who they claim has revolutionized Australian rugby. His involvement at the tournament's up in the tournament we refer to is, of course, the World Cup. It's the million dollar question that everyone in Australian rugby apparently is asking from the boardroom to the living room. And since signing on as the savior of Wallaby's rugby back in January, he's not only helped Australian rugby back to its feet, he's got the code up and running again. So they're spreaking in big time. The Wallabies would dispatch Wales by a record score after they talked to him, but after a famous win over England at the start of the tour, success won't be measured by staying undefeated. Already, the winning Wallabies are back in the national conversation in a positive way, looking ahead to a sold out British and Irish Lions series next year. Hope and optimism springs a new for fans, players and officials. But Schmid only signed a contract to coach the Wallabies until the end of the line series in July. It's something I know. I have to make a decision on what would he do? What should he do? You wouldn't leave it half undone, would you? If you've got some life back in the side, would you leave it half undone? I reckon, He'll stay Mike. Do you know the US subsidize the farming industry five billion dollars a year? Yes, I do. And that's the problem with America, and that's why they've never been free traders. And when they talk about free trade, they make it up because it's simply isn't true. Mike, just enjoying my grasp fed ribby for breakfast, really Philly full on breakfast, my friend. By the way, Marie News organization has been leaked to the letter the Privilege's Letter from Todd Stevenson, the ACTMP. A number of people wrote to the Privileges Committee there's going to be one to watch in the next couple of days. So what happens is they write to the Speaker and they go blah blah blah. Here's the problem. Speaking gives the people named in the letter an opportunity to reply, at which point he makes a decision as to whether he sends it off to the Privileges Committee. He will, And this is the Harker that I'm talking about. Once it gets in front of the Privileges Committee. That's where the real pressure will need to be applied because what happened is we've discussed on the program this week, what happened to the House was a disgrace and it was an embarrassment and it needs to never happen again. The big question, this is what Shane Jones was on the program about, is do we need to adjust standing orders to do something more? I mean, the Privileges Committee can literally put you in jail. That's how powerful the Privileges Committee are. They never will them have, of course, but they can. And so something substantive needs to be done to send a message to those people who without question breached the privilege of the House, and so that they never do it again. Now, the interesting thing here is that all the people who participated, Obviously the three Mariy MP's were the stars of the show. I used that phrase loosely. But the people named who actually participated and supported Ara's follow Steve Abel he's a Green MP, Ginny Anderson, Carmela Belich, Glenn Bennock, Ruben Davidson. Though I know you haven't heard of art these people because the Labour Party and they're asleep at wheel half the time. Julianne Jenter, Ingrid Leary, Ricardo Mendez, Tracy McClellan, Termouth of Paul landfam Deborah Russell, Carmel Sepaloney, Chloe Swarbrick, and so it goes. You'll note how many labor MPs are Involveded Helen White, Arena Williams, Scott Willis. They're all as culpable as the Maori Party members. So it's going to be fascinating to see whether the Privileges Committee got a backbone. Ten away from a the my.

Mike's white people are calling to Netty a hypocrite because I get I get it, but once again I repeat what I said earlier too. Wrongs don't make it right. Seven away from bit of Tech for your future of small business is not with the old f pos. Apparently all the merchant fees. We've got a new tap to pay on iPhone technology. It's TTPOI technology, which is launched locally this week. Head of Stripe, New Zealand, Ben Hannah, where's Ben morning?

Good morning, Mike.

Now I've seen this in Australia, so this is the stuff that's come from US a week. It's not from Australia, but it's out there in the world already. Yeah.

Here, it's out there.

This launch follows our partnership with Apple and Australia and Europe and the US. So it's a technology that's been broadly used around the world.

So it is just phone to phone, right, So in other words, instead of Apple paying as I do at the moment with another machine, it's the merchant's got the phone. I've got the phone. Tappity taps, and that's how it works.

Well, there's a little bit more to it. So the experience means that a merchant can take any contactless form of payment, whether that's a credit card or a debit card or a digital wallet, that they present a strike supported app, and then the payment has completed on their mobile phone.

Okay, so the guy brings out the phone behind the counter. I pay in any way I currently do, but instead of putting a card into a machine or tapping a machine, I'll just do it with this phone.

Yeah that's right.

Okay, what those people and this is in your wheelhouse. I suppose you know those machines where you've got to insert the card still because they don't have payWave and stuff. Yes, what are you going to do there? Does that negate those problems? In other words, when they say it's tag expense have to tap and go, does this negate that cost for a merchant?

Yeah?

So taxp on iPhone businesses cut out the expense and the complexity of having to manage and run traditional FPOs terminals. By using their iPhone. It cuts down on hardware costs, deployment time, and administration. All they do is set up their accounts, down load the app, and they can start taking payments really quickly and easily.

And when you say iPhone is the equivalent of Android going to be about the place of it isn't already about the place.

It's already available. So Stripe taps pay is available for Android devices in New Zealand. Making sure that we've got really broad reach across the market.

How much is out there right now? How many I'm near personally, I don't think experiences how much of it's out there right now?

Well, Apple launched this yesterday in New Zealand, and we have some really interesting innovative platforms that serve small business like Timely Aqili founded here in beauty booking system. They're one of the first companies to offer strike cap to pay on iPhone in New Zealand. And then me and you the app table ordering platform that became really popular during COVID. You know, the QR code ordering system they went. They launched yesterday as well.

Okay, good stuff, Ben Hannett Technology, It's a wonderful thing. Sometimes Head of New Zealand at Stripe, Mike, give me one of those, Glenn, gimme a Posking. That's the issue is that our medical schools recruit and train the very elite who become specialists who inevitably head overseas, and not those best suited to fill the health system gaps at the GP level. Hamish, you could not be more wrong. You've got me on a I'm taking on the audience, Friday, I've taken on the beef, on the beef haters, I'm taking on you.

If Mike tells you why you're wrong, Friday.

Yeah, why. One of the great joys of my life over the last five to six years has been watching my daughter go through med school and this idea that people in med school are elite, and this idea that they're all going on to be specialists is wrong and I will come back to it later on in the program Us for You In a couple of moments.

Can't we just get for once one week and just some regular ordinary everyday music.

Mate, the regular ordinary everyday radio shows do that?

Is that what they are? Where they are in the way?

Correct?

What are we doing this for just to be edgy?

And let's not forget that we played the quickest songs the stream Alian streams and we haven't ordered it this morning, and neither you nor I nor Young Sam Am I right, I've heard of.

It, Caddy, good morning. Have you heard Yaga and the other guy Bruno Mars song?

No? I have not heard that song.

And I was surprised to hear that it had been streams. It must be other countries.

Because well it's number one in New Zealand. Oh and once again, haven't been listening to the haven't been listening to? Tim? Good morning? To you. I would ask you, Tim, but I'm not confident that you would know anything about modern music? Would are the correct in saying that? Yeah, dah, you've you've look this is?

This is just absolutely what I what I hear is modern music is the sound of boys shouting, screaming and saying the word bum.

That's modern music, isn't it? That is it? Hey who sponsors the show Glen the.

Week in Review with two degrees fighting for fear for Kiwi business.

This, by the way, is Saint Vincent and the album is called todos nafzeng the Tundle. Give it a bit of player, otherwise it's just last and gritender, which is doesn't sound as good. That's how we used to say it back in the old days.

Mate, ten tracks.

And forty and a half minutes of this.

You can this isn't quite a cool song.

What's the category? This is pretty good? What would you CREDI? What what category is? Well?

She's she's old pop. I mean she doesn't always sing in Spanish. She's just done this one in Spanish.

Cool. I got two things to cover off with you guys, Yeah, what's the better deal?

Was that a dramatic pause.

I just try to remember which one to go first. Right, Ruby Hanson. Ruby Hansen went to the Coldplay concert. Right? Ruby Hanson went to the Coldplay concert. One of the songs what happens is I couldn't get to the bottom of the story and whether it happens every concert of this was one off. Chris Martin throws his guitar in the air at the end of a song. This is an acoustic guitar. Throws his guitar in the air. It hits the edge of the stage and breaks and falls down in front of Ruby's feet. She grabs the guitar and thinks, oh my god, I've got Chris Martin's guitar. Guard comes up to her and goes, look, could we possibly have that back to repair the guitar? Would that be okay? She then sits there and goes, oh sha, and she does. She hands back the guitar, and they are so impressed by her her kindness or generosity that they then give it the guitar. So she's now got Chris Martin's guitar forever. That's cool, right.

I think that that whole thing was probably a setup. They didn't really want that.

Bad today I wouldn't have thought that. Why would you want to break in guitar? You, Chris Martin? You just buy another guitar. I would have thought so, but let's not ruin the story at this particular point in time. Is that Is that a better experience, I e. You've got Chris Martin's guitar forever or Matt Heath's experience where he's got nothing but but he had a little cuddle with Chris Martin backstage. I'd rather have the guitar. I would rather have a smash guitar. Thanks.

I mean depends if the smash guitar is going to be worth something.

You've got it on tradeing unbelievable.

How much you are it going to be worth? You get for you get three K.

Wouldn't you? I reckon you'd probably get more if you hyped it and you get more. I think you probably.

Get My question around the Matt Heath thing though, is he says he wasn't allowed photos and stuff, right, so we're literally just taking his word for it.

Well, it depends if you want to this is this is the and these are the guys that messed up your studio.

He's really going to trust them their pigs.

This is the guy who had who had a noise control officer call into their show to talk about the time he was called out to math heat. The guy who admitted on air yesterday that he stole somebody else's coffees at the coffee shop across the road. This is the kind of person we're dealing with.

See, I don't listen to the I don't listen to the show. That's good. That's good Intel, Glenn, that's real good into But I think I'd probably take now which brings me and I wasn't going to raise this, but it does bring me to.

Take the hug.

I take the hug and me.

I believe that be the case. That's what I would have gone to as well. I would have gone with the personal experience. But he's for my birthday. K Just this is This is just a top ten.

Not another thing to add to the list.

Just discovered it yesterday. Just discovered it yesterday. You remember how I took school serp music and I was quite good on the guitar. I think you failed. Yeah I did, But that wasn't the point I was.

I was.

I was that wasn't the vibe of the failure. No exactly. I was keen on the guitar having a good time. You a good time, and I can still hit you with a G, A D, an, A C and an E all day.

This was when the guitar, This was when the guitar was taller than you.

Right, that's it. Do you know what? Do you know what you can get your hands on now? Bona fardie a Trump guitar.

A Trump guitar Agerica.

Late Again as signed by Donald Trump guitar.

But what's he got to do with guitar?

Yeah, the point he's got nothing to do with high tops and after day either. But you can get those.

Watchers there are Trump watch election victory victory watching.

How cool would it be to have in the entrance way on a stand because it would need to come with a stand, A Make America Great Again Donald Trump, signed by Donald Trump guitar.

I know that you're joking, so I'm not even gonna ar remotely, certainly not appear.

I would wear it and play it with my make America Great Again Trump hat that Jack table wear it.

I found it the other day.

I think I hit it at some point because I thought that, you know, we might get strung up.

But I actually found the other.

Day actually, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, Jack Taine brought me one of those caps as well.

Are you sure that these are real caps?

I don't think yeah, I actually think it's a fake.

When Jactane brought us on as well, and I looked at it and I thought, this isn't actually a mega hat.

This looks like a side of the road.

Interesting. I think they were getting them away last time. He was an All Birds. I think you buy a set of All Birds and you get a couple of fake Make America Great hats again. Now more in a Moment's thirteen.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.

Talks epp Us talks sixteen past eight, the.

Weekend Review with two degrees bringing smart business solutions to the table.

Hey, Mike, I want to hear you play the guitar, bringing guitar into the studio. Give us all the tune you see. Of course, requests are coming in already, Mike. I have an original made in America or Make America Great Again cap purchased at the last New York Trump rally before the election. But if you look at the tag inside the hat says made in China. Isn't that funny? Are now second part of the program and this is a big scrap unfolding as we speak on Facebook. And this is a pop quiz. I'll start with you, Tim, because I don't know whether you indulge in this stuff, but I know we don't, So Tim, how much do you expect to pay for a scoop of chips at the fish and chip shop? Scoop chips?

What is it?

Four fifty caddie?

Ummm gosh, I honestly not have a clue.

No, No, five tops. No, you said four to fifty, ten, it's not four to fifty. Change the number and picking new numbers. Four fifty. As it turns out, this particular case is in fact one hundred percent correct. But the argument is for the four to fifty you get thirty four chips? Is thirty four chips a scoop at thirteen cents a chip? How big of the chips?

Thirteen cents of chip is too much? It's way too much.

So you want more chips?

I want more chips.

Fish and chip chips term are the same size. Universally, they're fish and chip chips unless you know they're not. There's there's different there's different links.

You get your big chips, your middle chips, and your.

Little you know, the crunchy well, the crunchy bits there. It's a scoop mate and they come out with the crunchy bits and the big bits and the whole thing. So it's a scoop of chips. It's like one scoop fourfer. Hey, I'm just digging into the data. I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking. It still seems to me to be reasonable money. Although quote unquote from this particular person in mung A Fi, I thought it was shocking.

Well they would know because they obviously a regular and would not a consumer of scoops of hot chips.

Scoopa chips.

Whereas you don't really have a leg to stand on.

I've got no link to stand on. I have no idea hot chips. But Sammy and I were talking about this earlier on this morning. Sammy claims to be health driven, and yet this is a guy who not only eats fish and chips, he does his chips be a bettered.

Yeah, but that's balance and out.

But we hang on, he are you saying he puts better on the chips.

Be a better on the chips, be a better on the chip, be a better on the chip.

Oh my, this guy's this guy's he should be on Stantons exactly. It's the whole thing is outragelt is ridiculous and I haven't got it in front of me, But they did the price of a piece of fish and chips was what do we say it was? It was eight bucks or nine eight dollars? Is the average price of a piece of fish and chips? Eight dollars? I would argue, is bordering on a bargain, isn't it.

No, that's brilliant, that's good stuff. Depends on the No, it's not snappy katy, and it's not.

You shouldn't be having it. I mean it would just be some old bit of shark or something like that.

It'll be a bit of what was it? I was going to say, it's heck away, but it's not that. That's not a fish that's hard. Now it's not Black Friday? Do you realize?

Yes?

When is Black Friday? Tim? Uh, it's is it next week? That's one that that is one hundred percent, it's two hundred you're a two hundred percent. Everything you've said this morning on the show Tim is completely accurate. It's not bad. Congratulations. If you started Christmas shopping maybe I think my wife has my wife? Is your tree up? No, because trees go up at Advent, well winds Advent. That's next Sunday. Is that Cyber Monday is Advent the day after Cyber Monday or before travel Tuesday.

No, no events, the initiation of Christmas from according to the calendar of the Blessed Mother Church.

Okay, because I was watching Brett Bear earlier this week. Your trees up, isn't it? Yeah, Well, the cheap one is. The cheaper nasty one is. But it has the advantage.

It's got a lot of glittering lights.

It's got the advantage is is it's a one stop. Does it smell of plastic? It's so much plastic.

I am concerned it will blow up at some point though, because I do run the lights virtually twenty four so.

Many years, and we had that, We had that three or four years.

Now longer than that, and the lights probably.

Did we pay more than four dollars for it?

Yeah, we paid a lot more than four dollars for it.

How much do we pay for that more than a Scoopa chips? Okay, so more than four dollars because I'm thinking bang for buck. Say what you want about plastic in China that, in terms of bang for buck is getting cheaper every year and probably extremely good value for money.

I might try to select Friday sales just to really rip your nighty.

Okay, well what you should do?

Okay, wait until after Christmas, so go to the boxing day sale when they absolutely that's when we.

Got our tree Christmas that was made in China. No, don't laugh, Katie, don't like that. That that sounds like an elitist, condescending laugh when he's handing up proper sensible advice.

The best day Christmas tree on box.

Best day, best day to buy Christmas crackers is December twenty six. Yeah, absolutely, you're onto it. Ma. No't worries at all. Nice to see you guys. You have a good week, hend We'll see you next Friday.

I don't know that we added anything to work. There's a segment. I don't think we added anything, so I just apologize to the audience.

I'll apologize to Okay, Well, I felt it was no different from every other single week.

So so really we need more of an apology.

Well we need a bigger apology or we're hitting our KPIs and doing it exactly what we're supposed to be doing. That's if we have KP Guys eight twenty two.

Mike Friday School Lunch nineteen seventy fish you're a hot dog and Scooper chips thirteen cents eight days. Mike. Recently, I had fish and chips on the wharf at Monganue. A lot of people are talking about Manganui. Fish was sixteen dollars a piece, but a you paid for it. You see, there's no point going, oh my god, it was sixteen dollars a bit. You paid for it. Paid thirty three dollars for a small scoop and a small piece of snapper in pie here last week reminds me of that time we did the oyster and everyone just upped everybody on the cost of an oyster and by the time we got to the end of the program we paid eight hundred dollars in oister somewhere anyway, News for you in a couple of moments, and Murray Olds is across the Tasman Here at news Hawks, there'd.

I no longer buy chips from the fish and chip shop. I'd rather spend four fifty on a kilo of frozen chips and put them in the year fryer. I still get my wantons and stuff from them. Mike paid twenty dollars for fish and chips and Brisbane thirteen for the fish, seven for the Scooper chips. Well, there's another reason you don't want to go to Australia, twenty three minutes away from nine.

International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind for New Zealand business.

Murray, how are you?

Yeah?

Very nice fish and chips at the Corso and Manly ten dollars fifty will get your lovely bit of battered fish and a handful of chips.

Very now, now, when we say, because there is a Facebook scrap going on this morning, four fifty for a scoop of chips and you get it's thirteen cents of chips. So you don't get many.

Oh my goodness.

Yeah.

And so when you say fish, what do you put? What sort of fish do you get in Autralia? Because you don't get snapper? Which is the fish you want?

Well, it's hidden under batter It could be anything. It could be a gum boot.

I don't know.

It just takes quite nice when you've had a vber's mystery fish.

On a serious note, this and you know, well Ellen Jones and it's where we were talking with Steve Price earlier on this week. So we came up with Ellen Bond and probably Rolf Harris. Rolf Harris. If it turns ugly for Allen in court, it would be right up there in terms of downfalls, wouldn't it.

Well indeed, I mean Allan Jones. I've worked with Allan on for three decades and he was the most powerful media guy in the land. The Prime Minister's picked up the phone whenever they saw it was Jones's number, no doubt about that. On both sides of the vertical isisle.

He had immense power.

And I've seen him in a room full of business people opening their wallets and writing out massive checks for kids with disabilities. But then you'll go and you know, allegedly go and scream at someone because he's a cup of tea isn't warm enough. So he's a very complex fellow, and he's facing very very serious charges. I mean one of the indecent aggravated indecent assault allegations and that's proven. It carries a seven year jail term and the guy who's eighty three years old in pretty frail health. But it's extremely serious. I mean, this was a nine month investigation and he's now facing twenty six charges, nine alleged victims more possibly according to very senior police to come forward. He goes to court here in Sydney the week before Christmas. This can be spun out too over many years, Mike, because he's got very deep pockets and can afford the very best legal representation in the land. He's also got plenty of support. James Packer came out this week and said Alan Jones a friend of mine and titleption the presumption of innocence. Peter Kredlin Tony Abbotts X, chief of staff, said, well, you know, it's completely out of character with the fellow I've known for all these years. And Tina McQueen, bizarrely, she's the former Liberal Party vice president over here. She apparently used, according to The City Morning hero an encryptid social media chat room to say this is absolute bs. It's disgraced of what they're doing to Alan. So that's from Tina McQueen, who is clearly not quite well.

She wasn't merrill argu at the time, is mine?

That's true.

There we go my understanding. He said, it's extremely serious. I see a little bit careful here. But part of the issue that I'm fascinated with the legal process is you're dealing with some very old, chronologically allegations and in those sort of cases, evidence and whether it still stands. And he said, and she said, and I was, no, I wasn't. I don't remember. You're trying to piece together something quite complicated, and what happens if they can't do it. I mean, you don't lay charges. The idea, you don't lay charges unless you think you can get them across the line.

Oh, I understand. And that's the very very point that has been condemned by his legal representatives at this stage. Because the new South Wales Police Commissioner, Karen Webb came out when mister Jones was arrested last Monday. She was involved in a stand up down near Wollongong and said to camera listen, when I was an investigating officer, I was able to get a conviction dating back thirty five years on a very similar matter. Of course, his legal representatives went crazy about this. How can you say that it's terrible? You know, it's prejudicial to our clients, chances of affair trial, all this sort of stuff. But the police made the point nothing will stop an historic allegation being thoroughly investigated and type of relegation.

But the other thing that I think is legal team pointed out was he was not given the opportunity to present himself to the police station and surrender. It was with the hello, other cameras, ready here he comes. And there was a little bit of that about it as well. So it's going to be interesting to see how it's handled in courtoral will shorten, what do you make of him in totality given he walked out yesterday, gave his valedictory.

Intriguing a fellow, no doubt about it. I mean he made his name. He came to national prominence member as the boss of the Australian Workers' Union. Those two fellows were trapped for a week or ten days or whatever it was teep underground in a mine in Tasmania and Bill Shorten, as the young fresh faced union leader, dominated the headlines for weeks. He translated that into career in Federal Parliament. In federal Parliament for seventeen years, he took Australia Labor. I beg your pardon, that were devastating smash up election loss in twenty nineteen. Somehow found time to marry the daughter of the Governor General of Australia. And now he's off to a million dollar job as vice chancellor of Camberra University. So look, he's a man of a mensability. He said. It is valedictory that the decision to take on the portfolio as Minister for Disabilities, he said, you know, it's one of the highlights of his whole life and he's done a hell of a job and it's extremely difficult portfolio. I mean, at least now people living with disability here in Australia have got a funding model that will help them to get on with their lives as best. Whatever a normal life looks like for someone of the cerebral palsy or some of the disability, the funding's there thanks to Shorten. So that's a marvelous legacy I think, Mike.

I will never forget the shot Saturday morning, is walking towards the polling booth and he he didn't say it, but he wanted to, and he had that look on his face. I am so in here, I cannot believe my luck. And I'm just gonna pop in and just add another vote to my victorious campaign to become Prime Minister of Australia. And later on that night, when Scott Morrison had done all that campaigning in Queensland, as whole world just completely nutterly fell apart. Oh no kidding, it was devastating, amazing. This I don't know, but have you been to Laos?

I've not been to Laos?

No, yeah, I can't work out where you go unless you want to get pissed on cheap cocktails. I mean, this is a dreadful thing. But I mean I was looking at some film at the place yesterday and what are you doing there? Are you just there drinking essentially, don't you? Yeah?

I mean, look, there are kids up there backpacking through Asia. The police apparently aren't sure. Is this like bootleg liquor? Or is it bootleg liquor made with methanol that's been added to a bottler gen or a bottle of brandy. You're right, it's not. You know, it's not the five stuff that you and I are used to when we travel the world. You know, these are young children, their first big trip away from home, and you know, tragically, this little nineteen year old girl from Melbourne has lost a live mom and dad had to turn her life support off. Another her best friend of the world played football weather wedding school with her. As she is fighting for a live down in Bangkok and hospital there and her family's with her. It's just dreadful. You know, how do you stop kids having this adventure? I mean, are you going to keep them in cotton Fall?

We can't. Can The flip side of that is that the sort of country that's going to hold anybody to account and you suspect.

Not well, you suspect not exactly right made.

It's dreadful, it's shocking these student numbers. Know. I like this. This goes once again to how effective the coalition is so Labor and I thought this was a dreadful mistake from the start. Yes, I get the immigrations and issue. Yes I get the immigrations connected to housing and jobs, understand all of that. What I also understand is that international education is an extremely valuable commodity for Australia and if you say go to university, sorry, you can't bring people in anymore, you've immediately curtailed their bottom line. And it was a stupid policy. And thank god it's going to be flipped.

Well, that's if Peter Dutton gets up. I mean, Peter Dutton, don't. I mean, he isn't doing this for any altruistic reason. He's doing this to create a bloody great big cricket back to Belt Labor over the head going into the next election. That's what this is about. I mean, the fact of the matter is we had half a million students here only a minute ago. Labor proposed cutting it back to a quarter million, and Peter Dutton was on site a minute ago and now he's saying no, no, no, not enough work done here. It's going to impact too many regional universities. And that's a very valid point. The regional unions we have Woollongong, Newcastle and the like are saying, listen, it's okay for Sydney Union to get half of the Sydney Union population. MIC students come from overseas and they are paying three times, four times for their medical degrees for their engineering degrees. Then Australian students, these kids coming from Asia are an absolute gold mine. But there's got to be at some point their political response is to let's wind them back because all the headlines are about housing, congestion on the roads, housing, you can't get a house, blah blah blah, the list goes on. So what Peter Dutton's done pretty cleverly, I think, is wedge labor and say, you know, watch this space. We're going to have a much better policy in time for the next election.

You're a good bloke. Scene Next Friday Mate Previous Michael Chim Murray Old's in Australia thirteen.

To two, The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show Podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.

At B eleven Away from nine. Aspect to the text earlier on about medical schools recruiting and training very elite people, which isn't true, the pathways into medical school have been an eye opener for me because obviously the most famous one is Maury. So if you've got a Murray pathway and you don't have to get the same sort of score to get in to medical school in general in this country you need a sort of a health signed number of ninety something high nineties, ninety five, ninety six, something like that. If you're Marriot's I think from memory it's in the low seventies. But there are pathways forc there are pathways for refugees, there are pathways for rural people, there are pathways for people from deprived backgrounds, the disabled pathways. So to say that all of those people are elite simply isn't true. As regards training them into something, you're not trained into anything. And one of the things I've been really impressed with with my daughter is the amount of immersion that you spend in hospitals and being posted out around the countryside doing all sorts of different things. And different areas of medicine. You go into a GP's office, you go into a rural GP's office, you go into a psych ward, yes, spend time and surgery, and you do these what they call runs, and the runs last for several weeks. So by the time you get to year six, you've been in every aspect of the health system, not in theory, not in a bit of paper, but in the hospital, in the clinic, and you've got a feel for what's actually going on. And once you get to year six, you're basically a doctor and you're in the hospital pretty much full time. And that's the downside of it. The downside of it is, in theory, you should be surrounded by very senior medico's who you know support you along the way. But given the state of the health system, essentially you're running the place, which is not what you want. But nevertheless you can't say it isn't hands on. The reason we don't end up with a lot of gps is what I've said before, and I got into a lot of trouble for saying it. I believe that being a GP is boring at and if you're in the world of medicine, the things you can do are astonishing, and one of them is not dealing with Doris who's got a sore throat. And so that's why you don't have a lot of GPS, because it's not one of those things that's a life calling. And if it is a life calling, after about year five, you suddenly think, I would quite like to work two days a week, please, because this is not what I thought it was in the first place.

Ate away from nine the my costume breakfast with.

You've been flying in America, you'll know that they bored you in groups, and when you get your boarding past they say, you know, it's got group two, group three, whatever. And depending on where on the plane you are, they bored you at different times. Anyway, So the latest bit of technology is in American airlines and it's a new system that will beep if you jump the queue because frequent fliers, of course get the opportunity to get on early. And the big fight in America is you've got to put your bags, and people carry more bags and they can carry on the plane. So if you last on the plane, they take your bag off you and stick it under it and send it to Dallas, and you're going to New York. So if you jump the queue and a lot of people try to do now, it's going to beep and everyone's going to look at you go. They're going to say in that very American sort of way, five minutes away from.

Nine trending now with Yemi swaarenolse stop paying too.

Much or if you're in Texas, they'll probably just shoot you. So car News boy, I didn't get to the EV business miss and Lotus BMW. I'll do it Monday. But anyway, Car News Jaguar's rebranding and this has got a lot of people talking all over the world. They've got rid of the leaper, the Jaguar symbol, got a couple of j's now and they released an ad and people are going off about that. But then we've got a Volvo ad as well, three minute ad pushing the theme of a family and a family vehicle messive production to some support. They will promote the safety get the new Volvo EX ninety. So is that an evble It is, But it took took the Fox people a little bit of time to catch on to that.

They're showing I guess the traditional family mom, dad, kids.

We eventually have advertisements.

Right, is I'm supposed to look at this, relate to it, and then want to buy the product because there's something in there that speaks to me. So if I'm sitting at home, probably I don't know what they're saying.

So is there a car?

Guy? Love with this ad? But if in like two seconds they show me a beautiful looking car, then I will say, well done, Volval. But come on, guys, get to the car. I'm looking for a car here.

I want a car with a bed a red ribbon.

In life, didn't get the car.

There is no car with a ribbon on It means you've made it in life's.

Walking down the street that there you go? Is that a Volvo?

Okay?

But it looks electric though.
