Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News talks'd be follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the re rap for Wednesday. All
the best, but it's from the mic asking breakfast on
News Talks. He'd be in a sillier package. I am
Glen Hart and today we broke it a piece deal.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
On the show. Why not ask personally?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But it happened during the show, the marification of pharmacies.
Is that happening now? And when are we going to
have this meeting about outdoor swimming?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And I know you're desperate to know about that before
any of that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
The tariff war goes on, and you know what the
first casualty of war is, don't you.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
It's hard to tell that. Mark Carney seemed to be
up for a fight with Donald Trump and his opening
Our Woods. Meantime, Malcolm Touronbull, who ran Australia for about
three years, but never in a way that reflected how
good you thought he could be before he got the job,
as found new mileage and chipping in from the sidelines
posters glory days. I mean, talking tough on Trump is
way easier of course when you aren't in charge of anything.
But that doesn't mean he didn't make an excellent point.
(01:18):
Yesterday we told you about his Bloomberg interview where he
suggested President G may well be the ultimate winner as
the world sides more with the consistent and perhaps polite
person as opposed to a bully. Turnbull was not done.
He turned up on the ABC twice yesterday and quite
rightly chided the interviewers who asked whether it was wise
to criticize Trump at a time when Australia was wanting
(01:39):
tariff exemptions. Has the ABC become, he said, so compliant
and weak that you are seriously suggesting that we shouldn't
be free to speak the truth in Australia for fear
of Donald Trump. Is that the depths you've sunk to,
He went on, Australia could not continue this bipartisan gas
lighting that's going on at the moment. Are we just
going to become a conger line of sickophants creeping through
(02:00):
the White House paying homage to this guy? These are
excellent lines, and I revel in people's ability to speak
their mind in a world where woken blumonde so often
passes discourse. Flip side, of course is Trump is so nuts.
I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see a message on
truth social saying because your ex prime minister, a failed leader,
was so rude, I will not be handing exemptions out.
I love Australia. I have a lot of friends in Australia.
(02:22):
Your ex leader, loser, Malcolm Turnbull is not one of them.
Until he apologizes to me and the great people of
the United States, there can be no exemptions. Men tell
me you can't see that. That's how pathetic it's become.
But and this is where Malcolm and Carney might well
be right. That is no excuse to acquiesce, to sell out,
to suck up, as Malcolm also pointed out on his
ABC spray, you suck up to bullies, you get more bullying.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, there's a lot of developing stuff happening throughout the
show this week. I don't like breaking news, developing news.
It makes my life very very complex.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
And difficult rewrap.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So yeah, literally, as we're going to air this morning,
Trump announces that he's going to double the tariffs on
Canadian aluminium and that would be taking effect as of tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
As still going and going strong on the double tariff
for Canada.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The President saw that and has an obligation and a
responsibility to respond accordingly and represent the interests of the
American people. So he has made the decision to add
a twenty five percent tariff. So now stealing aluminum tariffs
will come into effect tomorrow at the rate of fifty percent.
And our steel and aluminum industries have actually applauded these
(03:33):
tariffs because again they know it's going to grow their
industry here. It's going to allow them to export more
steel that is made right here.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Then this question, does this administration still consider Canada to
be a close ally of the United States? Well, I
think Canada is a neighbor. They are a partner. They
have always been an ally. Perhaps they are becoming a
competitor now, But as the President also laid out in
his True Social Post today, he believes that Canadians would
benefit greatly from becoming the fifty first state of the
(04:05):
United States of America.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's Canada.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You're not a closer ally anymore. You're a competitor. According
to the White House Press secretary there she she's pretty strident,
Carolyn leave it.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
So like it or leave it Canada, I think, is
what she's saying. Rewrap wise is to tell dad jokes.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You'd think, you know, given that this is recorded, I
could go back and do a better one. But he's
got time for that now, especially when there's pieces about
to break out.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So good news out of Saudi is that Rubio has
managed to get the Ukrainians on board, or the Ukrainians
of Aquiesta, whatever you want to say it. We've got
a deal of sorts towards a ceasefire.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Is Rubia the only way out to end this war
is to negotiate out of it. There's no military solution
to this war. The solution to this war and the
way to end it and to achieve the President's objective
of peace is to negotiate. But before you can negotiate,
you have to stop shooting at each other. And that's
what the President has wanted to see, and that's what
that's the commitment we got today from the the Ukrainian
thaying their willingness to do that obviously now that I'll
(05:11):
be delivered to the Russian.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yes, exactly. This is Mike Watz, who's also with Rubio.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
The President has made it clear and certainly made it
clear to us that off fighting needs to stop. And
the Ukrainians have agreed to that proposal. They're ready for peace.
And now we'll take that to the Russians and get
their response.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Now, my concern here is that the Russians are giving
up nothing unless they're blustering, which they probably are, at
which point, if they do give up nothing and there
is no deal, does Trump then make good on the
promise that he's going to sanction the Bejesus out of
them until he's forcing them to the table. And if
he does all of that and the war ends, Surely
(05:53):
the question needs to be asked good Biden, why couldn't
he do the same thing? And surely the question needs
to be asked of Europe Why couldn't they achieve the
same thing? Or is there something in the deal that's
yet to be sorted out that the Europeans are not
happy with? In other words, Ukraine almost certainly is going
to have to acquiesce on some territory and what sort
of guarantees are there from the American's point of view
as to whether the Russian's role again and all that,
(06:16):
I mean, there's a lot of water still to go
under the bridge. But I mean the main question being
if you can end a war in a couple of
months as president, why couldn't every other president, every other
prime minister all over the world in the last three
years do exactly the same thing.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well, I mean, and Biden's defense, there are a lot
of different ice cream flavors and it can be hard
to choose, and that can take a lot of time
and occupy a lot of your brain power.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
The rerap right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
We've been railing against the mariification of things on the
show for some time, and now it looks like the
pharmacies are under the gun.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I wish I had more time with David Seymour because
he's looking for people for the Pharmacy Council currently. And
you put out yesterday the competency's standards required. And this
goes to why we can't bring people into the country
with any skills, because this is the nonsense they face.
This is just a small selection to be a pharmacist
in this country. You need to explain the impacts of
(07:12):
pre and post tatidity o way Tangy events on the
health of our tiro O New Zealanders.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Hell.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Does that mean you need to demonstrate critical awareness of
the health the initiatives aiming to imbed tatiity o Waitangi
into healthcare practice. Explain the meaning of tino rangeturatungua and
how it is relevant to the delivery of health services.
I've been here my whole sixty years. I can't explain that, Tea.
I'm not a pharmacist, I know, but I can't even
begin to explain that to you. What the hell does
that mean. I've followed the Treaty settlements Bill submissions and
(07:41):
they can't agree on the treaty. So they can't agree
on the treaty. Do you think they can agree on
the meaning of tino rangeteeratanger and how it's relevant to
the delivery of health services. I doubt it. I think
you can find one person who says one thing, another
person who says another. Explain health inequities that Maori communities
experience and how this influences own practice. Apply Maori perspective
to health and well being. Explain how basic teacunger including
(08:02):
tapu and noah is applied Ino in practice. So you're
sitting in Britain or Australia, Wisconsin, indistral Anka, Indonesia, and
you're a pharmacist thinking of coming to New Zealand. You
read that you're going to continue filling out your application
for I think not.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I don't really mind as long as I get my pearls.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I went to get a repeat on a prescription the
other day and they didn't have any of that and stuff,
and these are pearls where it quite clearly says on
the label of the pearls, do not stop taking this medication.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Luckily, you know, I still had about a week's worth.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And they said that text me when they got the manor,
and then they did text me, and I went in
there and instead of being in a little bottle, a
little container, they were in a box instead.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
What's going on there? It's not the first time. It's
even to me either. Why can't we just get the pearls?
So rewrapo to busily having meetings about things? Is that
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Never really understood that, of course, because I will avoid
all meetings at all costs, and I do mean it
all costs.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Is it a good idea? Wanganui wan Anui is paying
people to be part of a group. So you register
your name and they've got a whole bunch of people
three hundred so far. They will eventually pull forty random
names out of the hat and you will be paid
five hundred dollars to attend a series of four to
(09:32):
five meetings to discuss swimming outdoors in the Wanganui area.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's not enough.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
No, well that's what I thought personally too, But this
is that the seed of an idea. So swimming outdoors
is clearly a thing in Wanganui, so they need to
talk about it. But four or five meetings of up
to three hours each three hours.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
First of all, it'd have to be at least five
hundred dollars a meeting.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
First of all, to say the meeting is going to
last three hours? Is your first one pull up? If
you said, look, tea and biscuits and twenty let's get
this under ray right, sell it upseller anyway, So it's
going to cost thirty thousand dollars to the council to
do it. I actually think there's a seed of a
thought here. I'm not interested, but that's just me. But
(10:16):
people might be, and if they are, the participation rate
goes up. My only consume would be the people who
are retired who have more time on the hands, might
dominate proceedings. Therefore, you might not get a good collection
of views.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
So what are we talking about in the river?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
No pools and stuff? Or could be the river? Well,
that could be for the next meeting, Glenn, Glenn, we're
talking about polls, next meeting deals with the river?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Where do I see my invoice? There we go outdoor swimming?
I mean moost pools these days are inside?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Don't they?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Public palls? I'm not No, I'm not going to a meeting,
not even for five hundred dollars. I will not be
bort six fifteen. Maybe I am, Glenn hat I'm quite
cheap comparatively, And I'll see you there here again tomorrow.
