Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap there and welcome to the Rewrap for Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the best bits from the mic Husking breakfast on
News Talk, said B. In a sillier package, I am
a glen Heart today.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Jasinda R. Durn's book.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Is Mike Hosking going to rush out and buy it?
The staus in Parliament yesterday between Winston Peter and Shane Jones,
men India's March and whoever else, the Trump's offer for
government workers to resign the US Trump just keeps on
(00:58):
trumping and has he got his Air Force one planes
that he wanted back when he was president first time round?
But before any of that, this whole business of ethical
banking and not paying for not handing out loans for
service stations and stuff like that, what's the deal here?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
As little in life, as far as I'm concerned, more
nauseating than a sick effect people who do not what
they believe is right, but been to the whim flavor
or mood of the day. The corporate world, of course,
is full of at the tech giants have seen have
been badly exposed. As they decide fact checking is for
losers now that Big Don's running the place. The battle
is being fought locally as well. There is word New
Zealand First are looking at a member's bill to make
(01:35):
banks do business properly. How is this possible currently? This
is also major debate in Australia. Banks have taken the
stance that there are some businesses that they don't like,
those dabbling as it turns out in fossil fuels as
one of them. They've made getting money apparently hard work.
They have not done this because there isn't profit or
because these business is default. They have done this because
fossil fuels are out and climate change is in the
(01:58):
coalition in Australia, who are at the stage odds on
to become the government midyear, are going hard because fossil
fuels are of greater importance to them than they are here.
But the role of the banks once again has been
called into question in this country. The government is gunning
for them over margins and competition. Of course, the last
thing they need is another fight. I would have thought
over their right or predilection for doing business with some
(02:18):
people and not others. Banks, as former chair of our
biggest bank, John Key quite rightly pointed out on this
program a number of times have a very large social license.
They're a backbone of an economy. It is not their
job to play politics or play trend set into the
groovy mood of the day. Fossil fuels remain vital for
keeping the lights on. Now. You might not like that,
but it's true. If it changes brilliant right now, it
(02:40):
isn't or hasn't enough. Morals are personal choices, not business ones,
and certainly not in businesses with the influenced banks. Have
the thought that a government and we'll talk to Shane
Jones about this after seven thirty, the thought that a
government might have to legislate to make a business behave
itself shows you how badly these places are reading the mood.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, that's tricky on that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I sort of tend to think that you should only
have to do business with people you want to do
business work. That you've got to draw the line somewhere,
don't you.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Or do you? I don't know what were we talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We wrap now?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Are you excited about just cinder? Our dun remember to
cinder a dun you spend chart of the country Hager
in chief anyway?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Are you excited about her book? As Mike Hosking is
most piece worth reading?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
As I did over the holidays out of the Australian
media under the broad headline what is eating the Left?
Excited the demise of Biden, Trudeau, Schultz who's about to
get booted out in Germany, Macron and is never ending
issues in France, And of course Queen of the Lovees
just sinda a dune, All came, all went, all made
a mess. What they ask is eating the Left? The answer,
(03:56):
of course, is obvious. I would have thought they got
found out. They're thinking their way of running things doesn't work.
So I was a little bit triggered when I saw
last week publicity for the publicity that we are yet
to see over the forthcoming of Doom book. She used
the old trick and the media fell for a hook
line and sinker. I've written about things I've never written about,
(04:16):
which is odd given she hasn't written about anything as
far as I know, unless there's a slew of books,
I've missed. The most galling thing about a durn as
she ran rampant, worked out it was a bust, so
rather than facing the music, she asked Chris to collect
the hospital pass while she buggered off to America to
wander around campuses, collecting prizes for being the best form
of woke she could be. She also enriched herself by
giving speeches about how she led New Zealand. How she
(04:39):
led New Zealand was also to be found last week
in the news from HSBC that of all the countries
in the developed world, no one was hit harder than us.
Three recessions later, and with meaga prospects this year, the
Adirn Hipkin's recipe still taints most of our lives. She
doesn't care, of course, She's Emboston, lapping up life and
having banked her advance from the publishers, will now try
(05:00):
her best to retell and resell what she delivered by
way of leadership the good news, and I have good news.
She will not be on the show, but watch the
likes of the Herald and Radio New Zealand fire off
a few soft balls to her to wreck a country,
run from that country, then return to that country and
expect the people whose lives you've tipped upside down to
(05:22):
fork out money. So she can get wealthier while telling
you a version of her story that doesn't ring true
to most of us. Is the height of hypocrisy and
a very vibrant example. I would have thought of narcissism.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But also, what is she going to say that we
don't already know.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
When Bloody had to look at her every day listen
to her. Yeah, I don't think I'm rushing out to
buy that one either, or watch the documentary. So if
that's too Baltleigh for you, as they say that just
in there our doom book.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What about the argie bargie Emparliament yesterday?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
A little bit of it, but I think Chris Bishop
is right. I mean it's argie bargie in the Parliament,
the business of Jones and Peter's and Mendi's march. There's
a twofold problem here.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
One.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I don't endorse what Peters particularly was doing because I
like Peter's because he's a stickler for what you would
call the good old days. And if you watch Parliament,
and I watch a lot of Parliament, he loves the rules,
he wants respect, He would like to think that things
are better than they are, and in that I wholeheartedly
agree with them, But then he doesn't help by behaving
(06:31):
the way he did, and so he's contrarian, which is
probably not the first time we've made that observation about
Winston Peters, is it? But then making the thing slightly
complicated is Meninda's March is a pain in the ass.
He's an annoying little man who whines and everybody hates
a whiner. And he stands up with his rule book
and he asks, mister speaker, I would like clarification on it,
(06:54):
and he just shit. Sit down.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Now, if you're a regular listener, you know I'm not
usually a massive fan of Mike's impersonations of people, and
I offer an accuse him of just talking in a
Pakistani accent, But I actually.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Think that that one might have been relatively close.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And if I could be bothered, I'd go and listen
to more Meninda's March and see, but I can't regither.
It rewrap the politics here to politics and the US,
and that means Trump, and that means the wacky stuff
just keeps coming like an endless tsunami.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You can't stop Trump.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yesterday, among many other things, offered every single federal worker
the opportunity to quit they wrote to every and there
are millions of them. Did you know? And I didn't. Basically,
Washington's a ghost town. Just six percent of federal employees
in America work full time in the office. Six percent
(07:58):
ninety four percent sit at home. Anyway, he wrote to them,
and all you have to do is reply to the
email with the word resign. That's it will get paid. Now,
think about this for yourself. Would you if you were
written to today by the government, and I suppose it's
applied to many people in Wellington last year, for example,
But if the government wrote to you and you will
(08:18):
be paid until the end of September, all your benefits,
all your bonuses, everything all yeah, and you just go
bye bye. It was designed basically if you don't like Trump,
you don't think what he's going to do is going
to be good for America. Therefore you don't want any
part of it. You have the opportunity every single federal
worker in America.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What do you reckon that's going to you wouldn't want
to get their email? You know after a hard day
at the office, would you?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That's true? Five? Five and kening, I take that back,
what's resigned?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Now?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
No, yeah, pushing the button.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That changes your life. I think we've all is there.
We've all had days where we thought, man, if I
could just push a baton and be out of here.
I mean, I guess technically that is what I do.
I'd push batons and then I leave.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I think of it the re wrap.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And unfortunately we will have to stay with Trump just
a little bit further because I don't think he's got
his planes yet.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I had a dejavou moment yesterday. Remember air Force one.
Trump and his first term commissioned a couple of new
Air Force ones and he went unfortunately to Boeing. Now Boeing,
as it turns out, aren't particularly good at making planes,
despite being that's basically all they do, and he never
got the Air Force ones. And he's now charged Elon
(09:30):
musk Worth working with Boeing to try and get these done.
So he's now on his second term, eight years later,
and there is still no real confidence that by the
end of his second term, in other words, a span
of twelve years, that he will ever see one, if
not two. And this is where he's trapped, because it's
(09:50):
all very well being America first, but when it comes
to making planes, America first is Boeing? Do you really
want America to be first if the only choice is bowing?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But then when your second choice is the car manufacturer
that makes the exploding cars, the cars that are crashed
into pedestrians, the cars that won't stop when you ask
them to, the cars that are constantly recalled, is that
a good choice as well to be making your your
air force.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
One between a rock and another rock. That's what you caught.
I am a glen Hat. It was a very.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Political podcast today, the rewrap. Who knows what will be
in it tomorrow. You're gonna have to come back here
and find out.
