Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the Rewrap for Monday, All
the best bets from the Mike Husking Breakfast on Newstalk
sid B, and a Sillier package. I Am Glen Half.
Mike is back from holiday and he wants to talk
about Darlen Tanner. Just reminding the Greens that just because
they released the info just as he was going on holiday,
he did still notice it. Fox Club Farm is up
(00:48):
for sale apparently, and Mike's been thinking about moving the
entire show to England as a result. We'll discuss that shortly,
but first, Yes, a former president got shot in the air.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Obviously, you can't make the stuff up very deep in
the crisis that is Biden and his inability to look
anything close to a presidential candidate, where then distracted by
the other bloke getting shot. Was something as ugly as
this always bound to happen as America really that broken
Trump obviously is not the first, but it's been a
long time since Reagan. Couple of odd things. Why were
his shoes off? Why do issues come off when you
(01:22):
hit the ground. This is not too diminished or take
away from the seriousness of the event, of course, but
it seems odd as regards his reaction. Working for him
is the fact he was able to get up, raise
his fist and yell out numerous times the word fight.
When age is an issue in a campaign and you
have the energy to one take a graze to get
up and raise your first and turn it into a
photo opportunity, that's going to play exceedingly well for you.
(01:44):
He looks like a fighter, is also, i assume, exceedingly
lucky to be alive, given whatever hit him didn't hit
him properly, which then leads to the question, how do
you change your campaign going forward? Security wise? Obviously the
convention this week will be locked down, but November's a
long way away and a lot of rallies need to
be held. As much security as Trump had yesterday, it
wasn't enough to stop someone crazy having a crack on security.
(02:07):
By the way, although it didn't stop it, you had
to see the swarm to believe it, didn't you. I mean,
they were nowhere to be seen until they came literally
from everywhere. Good luck trying to get into something presidential
going forward. None of this, of course, plays well for America.
The current president is in severe and obvious decline and
seemingly refusing to go anywhere as his party implodes with panic. Meantime,
(02:29):
the guy against him as a shooting victim. What does
that say about the country and its place in the world.
The US presidential campaign of twenty twenty four. If you
think you can guess what happens next, you're dreaming.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I mean next, you know, Biden will probably introduce Zelenski
as President Putin or something like that. Imagine if something
like that happened, it's so rewrap. Yeah, And of course
that's the thing. Who can remember that happening after Trump's
heir getting shot off? So maybe it's not all bad
(03:01):
news of idan.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I was watching scene and in Fox, and I saw
the whole thing live literally unfold because I happen to
be on numb Fox and was watching the rally. And
then I flicked over to see an end to see
if they were carrying the rally. The BBC wasn't carrying
the rally. Why would they was just a regular, ordinary,
every day rally. So I flicked over to see an
end to see whether it because I'm always interested to
see how they cover these things. So it was an
ordinary everyday Saturday run of the Bill type rally. So
(03:24):
I flick over to C and M and then they
are covering the rally and they leave the rally, so
they just sort of dip and then suddenly they leap,
So I thought, right, I'll go back to Fox. So
I'm watching Fox Live. Then it all unfolds. As soon
as it unfolds, I flick back to CNN, who have
not realized what's happened and still haven't gone back to it,
so it will be to their great regret. I would
(03:45):
imagine that they cut away, which then brings me to
and I wasn't going to mention this until, of course,
it became news in Australia. Channel ten in Australia didn't
cover it for at least an hour, and that's being
made a big deal of this morning. The other networks,
apparently certainly Sky, which I also went to yesterday on
you as in Sky Australia. Sky dumped their programming, they
(04:06):
got their breakfast Sky in and they ran approp for
the day and basically ran Fox coverage along with some
local inputs. So, in other words, everyone dropped everything and
they ran for it. Ask yourself this question. Given the
problems we have, or have had, or do have in
this country with linear television, and some operators who claim
to have a new service, explain to me why they
ignored it all day yesterday. I think, and I'm open
(04:29):
to correction, but I think Television One got their act
together by about five to five, seven hours after it happened.
When you're watching history unfold and you argue you provide
a news service, how is it you can ignore that
for seven solid hours and pretend nothing happened. So Channel
tens taking it in Australia. We'll talk to Steve about
(04:50):
it later. They're taking it Australia for being an hour late.
Both of our channels were seven, if not eight hours late.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I literally think they don't have the resources. They just
don't have anybody there in the building who can switch
the switches or move the furniture, do whatever it takes
to get a breaking news program to air. Because everything's
gone by both at TV three and at TV and Z.
(05:19):
I think everything's been flogged off on trade me and
they can't do it anymore. I mean we were watching
the Euro's Final this morning on TV and Z and
they had a half the halftime show of the Eurofinal
was actually the closing ceremony and there was nobody there.
And there's part of TV and z's coverage to tell
(05:40):
us what was going on, who these people were who
were doing hand dancing for, which was seen to be
a strange choice for an audience in a stadium who
were seated one hundred and two hundred meters away from
them anyway by the hand dancing going on, But we
didn't know why they were doing that, what it was
supposed to represent, who these people were. There weren't even
(06:03):
any graphics on screen to tell us, so to think
that they could suddenly throw we had a whole lot
of regular programming and replace it with an ongoing breaking
bulletin because a former president's been shut in the head.
It's a big ask, isn't it a rewrap? It's like
trying to get a straight answer from the Green Party
(06:25):
at all? Ever?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Quick question for you, why are well? I mean, where
are the questions? Have you asked yourself the question about
the questions? Where are the questions around Darlen Tana? Where's
the pressure on the Greens. Where's the heat on the
Greens to actually do something? It was over a week ago.
Now the report was announced as having been received. You
will note it's still not out. I doubt it ever
will be. You will note allegedly the Greens cannot get
in contact with one of their own MPs. Just how
(06:49):
long do we wait before it becomes absurd? Actually, correction,
it already has become absurd. Who now is the biggest
skull duggerus actor Tana or the Greens themselves? We suggested many, many,
many a time on the program as we waited, waited,
waited and waited for the report. You can't take that long,
cost that much money. Oh that's the other thing. What's
the bill? The final bill? Ask anyone? Anyone asked the question,
(07:11):
didn't say it? Why not? I'll come back to that anyway.
You can't wait that long without something badly amiss. And
so we called that one right. Also, no one seems
to have raised the issue of candidate selection, another body
blow for the Greens. How is it the poor old Chloe,
as I watched on from holiday last week, can be
so surprised and hurt and let down by yet another Green.
(07:32):
That doesn't seem to be what she claims she was
on the tin. How is it all these highly unusual
people get through the vetting systemony to end up being trouble.
Does anyone ask any questions or probe in any way,
shape or form? And the Greens at all? Next problem,
the waker jumping. The Greens hate it. Why what logic
is there in having an embarrassment of an MP who
shames the party that got her into the job in
(07:53):
the first place, and then has the right to simply
sit there and have nothing done to her while she
is on full pay. Why would the Greens support that?
And when a solution the waker jumping law is put forward,
they don't like it. What's not to like? The very
fact Tanna is hiding and collecting all the money while
doing no work in embarrassing her former party actually shows
(08:13):
you what sort of operator she is. It speaks to
her personally. The fact we don't have the report paid
for in part by us shows you what sort of
operators the Greens are. They can't pick talent, they can't
make a decision, they show no urgency, They have seemingly
an unending ability to soak up embarrassment. They are political rebel.
Just how long are we prepared for the fast to
(08:34):
roll on?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And it's funny, as I was out at dinner the
other night and some of the people people talk to
me sometimes when I go out as though I'm a
political expert because I work on this primary, and of
course I couldn't care at all about any of it,
but I pretend that I do, of course, And what
(08:56):
I have noticed with the Greens is that the people
who vote for them a probably although most people are
listening to our program, they might be the small minority
who aren't a lot of those people, and so they
haven't heard any of that, any of the stuff's going
on in fact, and even if they even if it
was on you know, other media, they probably wouldn't even notice,
(09:19):
because I don't really think that your majority of your
Green voters get that active politically until it's actually election time.
And we're quite a way as off from an election
at the moment. So yeah, it's hard to see Darley
and Tanna being a Hue issue a huge issue come
twenty twenty six, but who knows.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
It's the rewrap it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
All right, let's finish up by Mike coming back with
the news that he might be leaving.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
If I moved to Britain, would you object? Because I
was having quite the conversation yesterday with my wife over
what turned out to be a fabulous meal at our
local restaurant. They do one of those things we didn't
even know they didn't. It's a roast of the day,
which is not that unusual. But the pork. There was
roast pork, which we don't eat, so we didn't do that.
But there was ROAs lamb. ROAs lamb you had to
(10:07):
have for two because it was a whole shoulder, So
they roasted the shoulder and it came with roast Brussels sprouts,
carrots and potatoes and gravy, and the lamb was served
on a bed of barley. It was absolutely phenomenal. And
not only was it phenomenal, there was enough for at
least three, certainly three, if not four people, And so
(10:30):
I thought what looked at the start to be reasonably expensive.
I thought, well, that's that's about extra. Anyway, it turns
out to be quite a bargain. Anyway, over this particular meal,
we discussed buying Foxglove Farm. Now Foxglove Farm is a
place in Chipping Norton and it's literally about one hundred
meters away from Jeremy Clarkson's place, and it's about three
(10:54):
or four hectares and it's currently for sale. The bloke
who owns it's old and he clearly lives in London
doesn't get down there much. And we seriously had a conversation,
why don't we just move to Britain and will buy
Foxglove Farm and have a look at it. It's beautiful,
the beautiful buildings. There's a cottage and out cottage, you know,
a little extra cottage. There's some some working stables, there's
(11:16):
some fruit trees, there's a glorious garden. And I thought,
that's the life, isn't it. And you're down the road
from a there's a famous hotel down the road, not
the one that he's bought, but another famous hotel down
the road, and there's all sorts of you know, it's
a big tourist area as well, and I thought, that's
the life you reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You can poach Caleb to look after it for you.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
First thing i'd do, I'd get him to do the
lawns and I would broadcast at night from Britain in
the morning here, so I'd be able to live longer
because I'm not killing myself getting out of bit at
two thirty in the morning, so I live longer. The
quality of the program would go up, and i'd been
in Chipping Norton. Now does that strike you as a
good idea or does that strike you.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
As good as a manner that I don't want to go?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Don't you want to go? When you are? When you'd
be quite key? You could say in the out cottage
it's still England, a little little out cottage. Oh, I
don't know anyway, it was just a thought over our
roast meal.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh that's quite nice. He's offered me a beer in
the our cottage. I was expecting him to say, what
are you talking about? I don't even know what you
do here? Why would we take you? That's what I
was expecting him to say.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Literally lobbed that very idea towards them like a like
a slow fall toss, and he just sort of squared
up and played a full defensive to it. So you know,
I'll take that. I'll take that as a win to
start of the week. I'm glen hat that was the rewrap.
(12:41):
We'll we bet with another one to morrow. I'm sure
we'll be back to bullying me by then.
