Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews US and the Inside Ryan Bridge
new for twenty twenty four on the early edition with
Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a play at
store US Dogs.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It'd be good morning, New Zealand. It is six after five.
Great to have your company on this Wednesday morning before
six This morning. Joe Biden's former money man on the
he's in with us from New York City. On Harris
getting a billion dollars in donations this campaign season. It's
an incredible number. We'll talk about that and how you
manage that kind of money. How safe is your job?
(00:36):
New employment? Unemployment numbers, I should say out this morning
we'll speak to an economist. Also, Netflix offices have been
raided in Paris and the Russians are sending explosive in
parcels on planes. Should we be worried about that? Which
countries sixteen to eighteen year olds have never been kissed?
I'll tell you shortly seven after five.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It is Wednesday, the sixth of those him, the Ohio
Senator and Donald Trump's running mate JD. Vance has voted
for himself. Look, I feel good.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You never know until you know what I feel good
about this race. I felt good about my own race
a couple of years ago when I voted in this
exact same spot. Hopefully it goes as well for President
Trump and me as it went for me a couple
of years ago in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Both the top candidates have made their final pitch to
voter as it rallies last night.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
As President, I pledged to seek common ground and common
sense solutions to the challenges you face. I am not
looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Together. We will make America powerful again. We will make
America wealthy again, and we will make America great again.
I love you, I love.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You all, and you will love Coverage the side. Afternoon,
I'll be hosting Insid heralds America Decides Live election special
from four pm. You can live stream it on YouTube,
on Facebook through the Inzied Herald website. We'll be speaking
to the former Ambassador and Trade Minister Tim Grosser, as
well as Trade negotiated Charles Finney. Start your controversy clock.
(02:18):
The Treaty Principals Bill is being brought forward. It'll be
put before the House tomorrow. That's Thursday. It was meant
to be next later in the month, the sooner they
can get this thing over with. The better acts scored
the debate fair and square, fear enough, but none of
his mates really want to be having it. They may
be wanting to rip the band aid off quick smart,
I'd say on this one. The heartiest of union strikes
(02:40):
is finally over, the majority of the thirty thousand union
workers that Boeing have voted in favor of a new deal.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Tonight, our membership voted to accept this contract by fifty
nine percent. You know it's time for It's time for
us to come together. This is a victory.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Certainly is thirty eight percent pay rise over the next
four years, a one off twenty thousand dollars New Zealand payment,
and an enhanced retirement plan workers had previously voted down
to earlier offers. We've spoken about those for months now.
Bowings shares rose one point nine percent in early trading
following the announcement.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture, beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Newstalk side look at Trump's to lose today, isn't it
textbook politics will tell you that economics rules the roost.
Prices are high, you know, the people aren't feeling good
about the economy. There's border leakage, so it should be
fertile ground to turf out the incumbent and get rid
(03:46):
of you know, Harris, who's attached to Biden and hasn't
really been able to separate herself from that. They've also
had a leadership change on the other side. That's never
good for stability. However, there is the issue of women
and reproductive rights, and two years ago when they overturned
Roe v. Wade, well, that set the cadamarks the pigeons,
(04:08):
and that could be the factor that would get Harris
across the line. We spoke to a polster this morning
who we're having on the show tomorrow, and I said
to Leo, just ask him who's going to win and
he said a fifty point one percent chance that Trump
will win at the moment. Interesting this morning looking at
the markets and how they're reacting because they're not just
looking at who will be president. They're also looking at
(04:29):
one when will the race be decided? That's crucial. They
don't like uncertainty. Two will the results be contested. They
hate the uncertainty of results being contested and also more crucially,
who controls the House in the Senate. Will the new president,
because it will be a new president either way, will
the new president actually be able to get stuff through
(04:51):
or will there just be a big giant handbrake. Interesting
also looking at the pundits and the you know you
can bet bet on the elections as Americans head to
the polls. This has just come out. Prices on four
betting platforms all point to an electoral victory for President
Donald Trump. Prices on predict It. We talked about this
(05:11):
the other day, which in recent days suggested Kamala Harris
had the better chance of winning. They have now flipped
back to Donald Trump's favor. So there you go, big
day ahead. And as I said, we're going to check
into Washington, DC next to our reporter is going to
Karmla Harris's party tomorrow night or tonight? What time is it, Yeah, tonight,
our time. He's going there tonight. So we'll speak to
(05:33):
him in just a few moments.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Bryan Bridge, Good morning to him.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Viva, who says Ryan, I think I'll switch off the
news today and watch reruns of Coronation Street fair enough.
I mean some people will hate this, completely hate this.
I find it utterly fascinating. Hey, very quickly, the Irish
Prime has called, well, it's about to call an election,
and I found this live cross from the Irish reporter
(06:06):
over in Dublin quite entertaining. When is he going to
call the election? While they've figured out as a schedule
and I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
We expect that poll annonswer to be at some time
on Thursday, because the doll schedule is pretty heavy on Tuesday,
it's pretty heavy on Wednesday. There is very light on Thursday.
And Simon Harris is due in Budapest for a European
Council meeting as Summit of EU leaders on Friday, so
we expect that Thursday will be the day that is called.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's busy on Tuesday, Wednesday, it's quite late on Thursday.
Away on a trip on Friday, so I'd say it'll
be then. After five year on News Talks, he'd be.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture
Bits and applying store News Talk Sippy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Bring excellent news on the global dury trade auction front
over nights point are sorry up four point eight percent overall,
butter up eight point three percent. Cheed to cheese this
is about forty percent of our cheese exports, so it's
a big one. Cheedd to cheese up four percent overnight,
and mozzarella up point nine percent. That's about eighteen percent
of our cheese exports. So that's a good number. Two, well,
(07:17):
at least it's positive. And by far and away the
most important number you need to hear about is milk powder.
Whole milk powder is up four point four percent. That
is a good jump. Skim milk powder is four percent.
That's our largest export commodity. It's fourteen percent of our total.
So those numbers are good news. This morning, quarter past five,
bread Rich. We're going to talk to Nick Toughly asb
(07:38):
economist about unemployment numbers in just a second, But first
we are heading to the United States to Washington, DC.
Nick Harper is an FSN correspondent with US Live this morning.
As America goes to the polls, We've had the ohighest
senator and running Trumps running mate jd Vance vote already
in Ohio, and Nick is with US Live. Nick, Good morning,
(07:58):
Good morning, Ryan. Tell me what were exactly are the
candidates at the moment and when are we expecting them
to vote?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Well, they're all spread out around the country, essentially voting
where they are stationed. So we've had JD. Van's voting
in Ohio. Donald Trump is due up in Florida anytime soon.
Kamala Harris is here in Washington, d C. Where she's
going to remain for the day, and Tim Wiltz is
over in Minnesota. So scattered across the country coming together
later on. But we have had more than eighty two
(08:27):
million Americans vote early ahead of election day. That's about
a third of all eligible voters. And now we are
hearing long lines at multiple polling stations right across the country.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Why DC, Why is Harrison d C.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Well, there were some options where she could potentially go
California as her home state, but here really has been
her home for the last three and a half four
years as vice president. But it really is looking ahead
to this evening where she has decided to hold her
election night event, choosing Howard University at alma matera where
(09:03):
she went. It's the historically at black university here in
the heart of Washington, DC, and of course that racial
element has been central to her campaign. She is hoping
that she has people of color rallying behind her, as
they often do behind Democrats, but she is hoping that
that will happen this evening at a time when she
is hoping that she could become not just the first
(09:25):
female president, but the first black female president of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
If things get a bit topsy turvy, if things aren't
going well for Trump tonight, what are the contingency plans?
And is that part of the reason that she's in
DC because she wants to be seen to be in
control of that particular location.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Well, potentially, yes, I mean, there is some thinking that
Donald Trump will decide to call a win for him early,
no matter what is happening, even if the polls are
not suggesting or even if there are not enough votes
in that he has won. There is that concern that
he may go ahead with that, and that would obviously
so confusion, misinformation, and prompt lawsuits if he were to
(10:09):
actually go ahead and lose, And he could therefore suggest,
as he did back in twenty twenty, that the vote
was rigged against him. So Kamala Harris, I guess is
trying to distance herself from that. We've already heard accusations
of vote rigging in the last couple of days from
Donald Trump, and she has tried to push back against that.
The hope is that things will run smoothly, but there
is a real potential that it could take several days
(10:31):
for all of this to come out in the wash
and for us to actually find out who is the
eventual winner of the election.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There's also, of course the race for the House and
for the Senate.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Any picks there, well, it is going to be incredibly tight,
and again that is something that we may not know
for some time. The House in particular, just because of
the closeness of some of those races across the country,
there is some thinking that it might not be known
who has control of the House until after we find
out who has become the president. I mean, it is
(11:04):
being spoken about as the closest race in recent history,
not just for the president, but also for control of
the two chambers of conqurest.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Nick, thanks very much for your time this morning, Nick Harbor.
If it's in correspondent in Washington, d C. It is
nineteen minutes after five the unemployment numbers for quarter three
out this morning talk about their next.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture bids and applying store news Talk said.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
B twenty one minutes after five year on news Talk
said be a text here from John says Hi, Ryan,
I'm also totally over the US elections. Elephants have quicker
pregnancies in the outcome won effects in New Zealand much John,
Thank you for your message. Can I just point out
that New Zealand's second largest export market now is the
United States of America over to Australia last year, so
(11:53):
we do care about what they're doing. And if they're
putting a twenty percent tariff on our METex we are
Meatia exports that are going up to the United States.
That is significant. If you're an American going into a
supermarket to buy some meat or you're going to arrest
your as owner restaurant. You're buying meat and there's a
twenty percent tarify on an already premium product during a
cost of living crisis, are you going to buy it?
(12:15):
That could affect US. Also, the trade war that Trump's
talking about with China, they reckon could shave point eight percent,
point eight percent off global GDP this when we're expecting
growth of just three and a half percent. I mean,
that's significant, So I think we should care. I mean,
I know what you mean. It gets boring when people
talk about it all the time, but I think it
(12:37):
is important still. Twenty two after five, Ryan Bridge also
employment the important, I should say. The unemployment numbers out
this morning for quarter three, currently sitting at four point
six percent, but most economists expecting it to rise to
five percent, which would make it the highest since twenty twenty.
We also have new household living cost numbers out yesterday,
which we'll talk about shortly. Nick Touughley is the chief
(12:57):
economist at ASB Bank. Nick, Good morning, Good morning, Great
to have you on the show. So what do you reckon?
What's the number we're looking for today?
Speaker 9 (13:07):
We do think we're going to see employment itself look
less resilient than what it has been and actually fall
about half a percent over this quarter. Now it may
surprise you, but so far during this downturn, employments actually
held up and kept growing even if it slowed to
a core, but things look like they have changed, and
as a result, we're expecting a more noticeable jump and
(13:28):
unemployment around five point one percent, and there is a
banks expecting something closer to that, around five percent as well.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Does that where do you expect it to peak? Because
it was talking mid next year it'd be five point
five percent. Now I'm hearing some people say six.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
We're expecting it all peak a bit over five and
a half percent, but somewhere around that five and a
half six percent range looks about reasonable at this point.
That would still mean it's a lower peak than what
we saw after the global financial crisis, when it was
about six and a half percent and we saw much
larger outright declines and employment.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, so things will still get worse. This is not
our worst number today.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
This probably hopefully this will be the last of a
big four. We do think though that employment does risk
declining towards the end of this year, and we do
have a likely contraction and GDP to come through. But
this is starting to look in the rear vision mirror,
and as we're heading into twenty twenty five, we do
think we'll see growth starting to pick up so those
(14:31):
green shoots that people have been talking about should be
starting to become noticeable.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
All right? What number does the Reserve Bank need? They
were predicting five percent for unemployment today? Would you know
five percent mean? And I know it's not the simple
I'll caveat that nick. But would five percent mean of
fifty basis points? You know? Would more than five percent
mean more likely seventy five? Would less than five percent
mean twenty five?
Speaker 9 (14:57):
I think if it's somewhere around five percent, give or tape,
the Reserve Bank should continue to move at a fifty
point pace at this next meeting. There's a lot of
stuff in there. There's also what's happening with the wage growth,
what is happening with employment itself? That will matter as well.
But I think we're going to need to see substantially
weaker figures. And when I'm saying I'm not, you know,
(15:19):
you're talking about some quite material misses compared to what
reserve banks expecting for them to move by a larger amount.
Never say never, but I think the Reserve Bank would
be I think fairly comfortable move by fifty basis points
and then slow things down of it next year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, Nick, thank you very much for that. We'll
look at the wage growth numbers shortly. Nick Tuffley, chief
economist at ASP Bank. You're on News Talk ZB. It's
Wednesday morning, the early edition Full The Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB News Talk ZBB. Trying to
control kid criminals. You are damned if you do and
(15:55):
damned if you don't. This week a document from Children's
Minister Karen Shaw on the subject leaked. It says giving
military style boot camp providers the power to use force
and extreme circumstances would be controversial. Well, of course it would,
But what are you meant to do? Let the kids
punch each other and not intervene, Let them run on
the road, let them escape and just wave goodbye as
(16:17):
they leave. Oh, he's nearly killing the other kid. Well, remember,
we can't actually do anything, so we'll just watch it happen.
How can you run a boot camp without the last
resort right to intervene and restrain where necessary? At Arwiti waitts,
he says, it's disgusting and unacceptable and I can understand
why it. Darwiti's worked up on this one. The abuse
(16:38):
and State care inquiries showed the worst that can happen.
It was disgusting and disgraceful what went on. But does
that mean that we can never use programs to rehabilitate
these younger serious offenders ever again? And where does that
leave them? In adult jails or they don't like that,
and youth detention centers they don't like that either. Plus
they escape from these things pretty regularly. At home, well
(17:01):
they were, but they committed serious crimes repeatedly. So where
does that leave the kids and the governments tasked with
trying to sort them out? Well, between a rock and
a hard place with an impossible job on their hands.
That's where twenty nine after five, Ryan Bridge, We're going
(17:22):
back to the States. Just before six this morning, We're
speaking to Biden's money man. He was the treasurer for
the Democrats, tasked with getting all those donations. And Carmena
Harris has pulled in a billion bucks since she took
over at the top of the ticket. You're on News Talk, said.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
B on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
with Ryan Bridge and Smith's City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds
and a plying store.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
News Talk, said B. Good morning, New zeal twenty four
minutes away from six. It is polling down in the
United States. We've got a small resultant from one tiny
little town with six voters. I'll tell you about that
in just a few seconds. Plus, we're live to New
(18:11):
York City. Bill Dera is his name. He's a former
DNC treasurer, basically Biden's money man for three years. What's
his take on Harris's chances. We'll do that before six plus.
Gavin Gray in the UK right now though, a study
out of Japan which is quite concerning for the Japanese
but probably for young people more generally. They did a
(18:33):
survey and they do it every six years about how
many young people are kissing and having relations with one another.
And they've found that eighty percent of high school students
in Japan, so that's fifteen to eighteen year olds. They
were asking eighty percent have never been kissed before the
(18:55):
age of eighteen, never been kissed. In two thousand and
five it was fifty percent, about about half of them
and had had a smooch before they went off to
university or into the workforce whatever. Now just twenty percent
of people under the age of eighteen or between at
fifteen and eighteen, have actually ever had the experience of
a kiss? Why COVID? Of course it's COVID because everyone
(19:18):
was wearing a mask, and so no one kisses anymore.
We don't look at each other in the eye, we
don't kiss one another. We put masks on and we
just talk like robots. And then when something goes wrong
in our lives, we get a baseball bat and we
go and smash a public bus. You know, that's the
world we're living in. Good Morning twenty two away from
six our reporters around the country, Color Practice and Tonedin, Hey, Calum,
(19:43):
we talked a lot about this fashion show for suicide awareness.
How did it go?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Look it ended up being a big win for the
charity that was at the center of this event. Ryan
An alcohol license was in the end granted for this
show after being opposed by police due to the known
link between suicide and alcohol. Then we had Mike King
causing a stir disagreeing with police. He said alcohol's a
(20:08):
solution for mental health and can help stop negative thoughts.
The show organizers tell us the event was a success
that raised at least three thousand dollars for Dunedin's Life
Matters Suicide Prevention Trust and they say they're already looking
forward to doing it again next year.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Brilliant. How's the weather good today?
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Fine patches of morning and evening cloud light, winds and seventeen.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Today A nice one. Thank you Claire in Christ this
morning clear, good morning to you. This gastro outbreak which
is so hard to read about, I'm just going to
listen carefully to how you describe it. But they think
it might have been what chicken.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Good morning, Ryan, Yes, shredded chicken eating at the university's
Halls of Residence on Sunday night seems to be the
blame for this gastro outbreak. It's impacted hundreds of students
at what is a very crucial exam time for them.
Some of the stories from the Halls of Residents have
been horrendous. We're hearing of lines to use bathrooms at
four am, some students resorting to being sick out of
(21:06):
their windows because there was apparently nowhere else to do it.
Now Inzed Food Safety has been working with an assumption
that it may have been this shredded chicken. They say
that's based off the eleven hours it took from when
the food was eaten and symptoms appeared.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Vincent Arbuckle says that's consistent with unsafe handling practices around
cooling and reheating food, or specifically meat. He says if
the issue was uncooked meat, for example, they'd expect to
see a different incubation period, more like two to five days.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Have you ever seen the movie Bridesmaids. That's that scene
where they all get in these beautiful gowns and including
the bride in the white dress. They've had a bad
Mexican and before I remember, I'm just picturing that. But
on for an entire hall of residence. How's the weather today?
Speaker 11 (21:54):
The hello, clouds breaking to fine this morning, returning this
evening with a bit of drizzle, northeasterlies and making a
way to eighteen.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
That's right. People need their own bathrooms, don't they. I
mean that should be a basic human right. Clear. Thank
you Mexis and Wellington Max. This is good news. Eight
billion dollars for a long tunnel. Oh sorry, this idea
has been scrapped, but there is news in terms of
two new tunnels coming right.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Yeah, sorry, perhaps I confuse you a little with that
throw line.
Speaker 13 (22:23):
No.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
Eight billion was the eventual cost estimate for you know,
for a time senior national figures were hyping the idea
of a long tunnel from up on the terraces down
into Kill Bernie. At one point six million dollars spent
consulting on the idea. Everyone seemed fairly keen on it. Obviously,
that eight billion dollar price tag has alienated them because
(22:45):
they're not going to do that. They're going to build
a second Mount Vict tunnel now, and a smaller one
up around the terrace as well. This will make it easier,
of course to get to and from the airport, the
peninsula that build up, you get around Vivian Streets and
the Iris Tunnel. Hopefully that'll dissipate. The government campaigned on
starting construction on a second Amount Vic tunnel in their
(23:07):
first term. They say they're going to do their best
on that. The latest cost estimate for this newly announced
work was just over two billion dollars. That was last year,
might be slightly more now, but yeah, good news for Wellington.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, it certainly is. And I think they're going to
get the cost and stuff done by midway through next year,
so it'll be a long time before we actually see
any digging. I imagine, how's you wear the max.
Speaker 12 (23:30):
Some early rain this morning should be easing around midday,
cloudy this afternoon eighteen the high in the city.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Have a great day, Neva's and ok, hey, Neva hello.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
I was traumatized with that over the last couple of days,
with that christ touch. That Guestro story awful because I
have seen that movie, you know, Bride'smaids, and I was thinking,
if that was that's my worst nightmare. I would have
to and I know students support they don't have money.
I'd ring my parents and say, hey, put me up
in a hotel because your own bathroom. I even heard
(24:01):
someone vomiting.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I start vomiting.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
No, no, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
The whole owing to a yoga retreat once in China,
and they had this food that was quite. It was
a bit and I was sharing a room with my
friend Augusta in we were doing this yoga thing. I
don't know why. I didn't even know why we were
doing even like yogi. No, I don't even like anyway
before you're not well because they've got those holes in
the ground for toilets. Oh yeah, and they didn't really flush. Anyway,
(24:28):
we all got sick, sharing a room, a hole in
the fall. That's anyway.
Speaker 14 (24:40):
The only other thing I've got to say too, Because
did you tell the nation that you won the Melbourne Cup?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Sweet steak the office?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Sweet steak?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
How much do I get? One hundred and ninety dollars?
Speaker 14 (24:49):
One hundred and ninety dollars?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
You're rich?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 11 (24:52):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (24:53):
Are you gonna buy a chicken meal or something like that?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Chicken? Hey, we're going.
Speaker 14 (24:58):
To read partly cloudy. Twenties are higher in Auckland, Davor.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Thank you. It's seventeen to six year on News Talk ZBB.
You're on News Talk zb. Great to have your company
this morning. And if you are just getting into your
morning commute, coffee in hand, and you're already thinking about
your to do list, I hear you. Maybe it's finally
time to upgrade the couch or get those appliances sorted.
Smith's City as you cover it, they've been nailing it
(25:23):
for one hundred years, still one hundred percent key we owned,
and they've got everything for your home, whether it's trending furniture,
the traditional comforts of lazy boy beds from New Zealand's
trusted steepyhead brand or top brand appliances like Samsung, Algae,
Fisher and pike L Bosh. And here's the kicker. Their
deals are insane amazing discounts across the board and if

INZID International correspondents with insid Eye Insurance Peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Think the sex on You talked to Big Devin Grins
and UK Europe correspondent Gavin what is going on with
the Russians and these parcels in career planes.
Speaker 15 (26:17):
Well, lots of people pointed the finger at Russia for this,
Russia denying any responsibility. So over the last of the
three or four months now, there have been a number
of parcels that have effectively caught far and these parcels
have been freight parcels. A lot of them being handled
by DHL, the courier company, and it's being said that
(26:37):
the courier companies have had fires in Poland, Germany and
the UK, and according to Polish prosecutors, they were aimed
at really dry runs a rehearsal aimed at sabotaging flights
to America and Canada. The Polish prosecutors have revealed that
four people have been arrested across Europe and these investigations
(26:58):
across different countries are continuing. It is Western security fishers
who have told American media that they think these fires,
which happened as I said back in July and a
couple later, were part of an orchestrated campaign by Russia's
military intelligence agency otherwise known as the GRU. Russia denies
this responsibility, but many are beginning to point the finger
(27:20):
at IT and Moscow having also been behind other attacks
on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year,
including Sweden and the Czech Republic. They believe the Polish
prosecutors that a group of foreign intelligence sabotas have been
involved in sending parcels containing hidden explosives and dangerous materials
(27:40):
for our courier companies. The parcels then spontaneously burst into
flames or blew up. Indeed, the one that took fire
at Leipzig apparently was shortly about to be delivered onto
an aeroplane four or flights, So extremely dangerous and dhl
for they and their step up security.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
All right. In breaking news, Donald Trump currently speaking outside
of polling both he's just voted and palmbooted Florida. He
says he has no regrets from the campaign and that
he ran his very best campaign that he could. Let's
go back to Devin Gevin. The Netflix officers in Paris
and Amsterdam have been raided. What's happening.
Speaker 15 (28:19):
Yeah, lots of pe asking questions. Not too many details
being revealed, but there are ten million subscribers of Netflix
in France. They opened their ten years ago, and the
streaming giants' offices in Paris and Amsterdam have been raided, apparently.
Officials from both countries cooperating Netflix not making any specific
comment about the raids, but they have always insisted, as
(28:41):
they do now, that they comply with tax laws wherever
they operate. However, the company is apparently under investigation for
tax filings in twenty nineteen twenty and twenty twenty one.
Netflix apparently is, according to claims, minimizing its tax payments
by declaring its turnover is generated in France, by transferring
(29:02):
that to the Netherlands and after it aban In this arrangement,
it is alleged that the annual tax bill jumped from
roughly eighty five million New Zealand dollars to roughly two
billion New Zealand dollars in one year, and the investigation
is all around their tax affairs. Apparently around that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
All right, thanks so much for your time. Gavin Gray,
our UK europe correspondent. It is ten to six.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Donald Trump has just cast his vote in Palm Beach, Florida.
He says the biggest issue in his mind this election
was the border We're going to build. Darrow Now he's
a former DNC treasurer, a Democrat, and is with us
live from New York City. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
Thank you, Good morning in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Thank you for being with me. First of all, no
matter who wins, how are you feeling about the state
of your country right now?
Speaker 13 (29:57):
Maybe I'll be applying for New Zealand passport. I don't
know it is.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
It is terrifyingly UH fraught right now. The uh, the
tensions are very high, the the rhetoric is is very intense.
I think a lot of it has to do with
social media from outside the US. But it's, uh, it's
(30:22):
it's I've never seen it so divided.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Uh in my life.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Have the Democrats lost the ability to penetrate and speak
to those white middle class, working class voters that they
need to get Harris across the line?
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Well, I do think that Democrats have lost some of
the ability to talk to those people. I don't know
that that that will result in not getting across the line.
I think there's a bunch of different factors happening right now,
particularly with women. I'm very optimist stick as a Democrat,
(31:01):
that there's sort of a silent majority of women, large majority,
who are going to vote for Kamala Harris, not because
she's going would be the first female president, but really
to stop the other side in the things that they
have been doing and saying, you know, with respect to
women's reproductive rights, with respect to women's rights in general.
(31:25):
I do think we have a lot of work to
do with the white working class. My father was a
Union carpenter, so I'm very familiar.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
With that.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
That world, and I do think having Tim Walls as
as vice president will be will be helpful in connecting
with people like that.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
What's happening in You're in New York City right now,
what's happening there in terms of protest backlash preparing for
that that potential.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
I think that there is a potential of a Trump
winner or a Harris one.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Harris win, I think people.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
In New York in general, I'm there is an interesting
divide amongst people who would traditionally be Democratic voters, but
if they're Jewish Americans, some of them are taking a
different perspective now because it was happening in the Middle East.
And I'm going to stay out of that other than
to say, I think it's kind of silly on both sides,
(32:23):
people who are not going to vote for Harris because
they don't think she's strong enough for people on the
other side saying she's not doing enough for the Gosins.
I'm not saying it's ridiculous in the sense that those
are huge issues, but I think clearly Donald Trump would
be worse for everybody over there. But I think in
(32:44):
New York. A lot of people are nervous about what
might happen. That being said, it is predominantly a democratic city,
but I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, if Donald
Trump tonight is announced the winner in a massive landslide,
then I think you will see a bunch of people
coming out protesting. Not unlike the women's march you had
(33:07):
after the election in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
So potential for protests either way. Bill, thank you very
much for being with us here in New Zealand today.
Great to have your company. That's Bill dere He's the
former DNC treasure It is.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Sex to Sex News and views you trust to start
your day. It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store. News Talk said.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Be it is four minutes away from six News Talks.
It'd be Mike's here next, Mike Big Day today. Very good.
Speaker 16 (33:34):
I'm I'm most well, I'm not most excited about the presidency,
but as we're just talking off here, I'm most interested
in the Senate because the senses they could flip that.
So if Trump wins and they flipped the Senate's that's
that's a trifector.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's all the power in the world.
Speaker 16 (33:46):
If Harris wins and they flipped the Senate, she's lame
duck Henry. So there's actually a lot to play for
beyond the presidency today. So these are exciting times, right
R and D.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
We'll look forward to Mike Shownick. I'll be with you
from four pm insidherl dot co dot ezid's live coverage.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It'd be good morning, New Zealand. It is six after five.
Great to have your company on this Wednesday morning before
six This morning. Joe Biden's former money man on the
he's in with us from New York City. On Harris
getting a billion dollars in donations this campaign season. It's
an incredible number. We'll talk about that and how you
manage that kind of money. How safe is your job?
(00:36):
New employment? Unemployment numbers, I should say out this morning
we'll speak to an economist. Also, Netflix offices have been
raided in Paris and the Russians are sending explosive in
parcels on planes. Should we be worried about that? Which
countries sixteen to eighteen year olds have never been kissed?
I'll tell you shortly seven after five.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It is Wednesday, the sixth of those him, the Ohio
Senator and Donald Trump's running mate JD. Vance has voted
for himself. Look, I feel good.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You never know until you know what I feel good
about this race. I felt good about my own race
a couple of years ago when I voted in this
exact same spot. Hopefully it goes as well for President
Trump and me as it went for me a couple
of years ago in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Both the top candidates have made their final pitch to
voter as it rallies last night.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
As President, I pledged to seek common ground and common
sense solutions to the challenges you face. I am not
looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Together. We will make America powerful again. We will make
America wealthy again, and we will make America great again.
I love you, I love.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You all, and you will love Coverage the side. Afternoon,
I'll be hosting Insid heralds America Decides Live election special
from four pm. You can live stream it on YouTube,
on Facebook through the Inzied Herald website. We'll be speaking
to the former Ambassador and Trade Minister Tim Grosser, as
well as Trade negotiated Charles Finney. Start your controversy clock.
(02:18):
The Treaty Principals Bill is being brought forward. It'll be
put before the House tomorrow. That's Thursday. It was meant
to be next later in the month, the sooner they
can get this thing over with. The better acts scored
the debate fair and square, fear enough, but none of
his mates really want to be having it. They may
be wanting to rip the band aid off quick smart,
I'd say on this one. The heartiest of union strikes
(02:40):
is finally over, the majority of the thirty thousand union
workers that Boeing have voted in favor of a new deal.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Tonight, our membership voted to accept this contract by fifty
nine percent. You know it's time for It's time for
us to come together. This is a victory.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Certainly is thirty eight percent pay rise over the next
four years, a one off twenty thousand dollars New Zealand payment,
and an enhanced retirement plan workers had previously voted down
to earlier offers. We've spoken about those for months now.
Bowings shares rose one point nine percent in early trading
following the announcement.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture, beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Newstalk side look at Trump's to lose today, isn't it
textbook politics will tell you that economics rules the roost.
Prices are high, you know, the people aren't feeling good
about the economy. There's border leakage, so it should be
fertile ground to turf out the incumbent and get rid
(03:46):
of you know, Harris, who's attached to Biden and hasn't
really been able to separate herself from that. They've also
had a leadership change on the other side. That's never
good for stability. However, there is the issue of women
and reproductive rights, and two years ago when they overturned
Roe v. Wade, well, that set the cadamarks the pigeons,
(04:08):
and that could be the factor that would get Harris
across the line. We spoke to a polster this morning
who we're having on the show tomorrow, and I said
to Leo, just ask him who's going to win and
he said a fifty point one percent chance that Trump
will win at the moment. Interesting this morning looking at
the markets and how they're reacting because they're not just
looking at who will be president. They're also looking at
(04:29):
one when will the race be decided? That's crucial. They
don't like uncertainty. Two will the results be contested. They
hate the uncertainty of results being contested and also more crucially,
who controls the House in the Senate. Will the new president,
because it will be a new president either way, will
the new president actually be able to get stuff through
(04:51):
or will there just be a big giant handbrake. Interesting
also looking at the pundits and the you know you
can bet bet on the elections as Americans head to
the polls. This has just come out. Prices on four
betting platforms all point to an electoral victory for President
Donald Trump. Prices on predict It. We talked about this
(05:11):
the other day, which in recent days suggested Kamala Harris
had the better chance of winning. They have now flipped
back to Donald Trump's favor. So there you go, big
day ahead. And as I said, we're going to check
into Washington, DC next to our reporter is going to
Karmla Harris's party tomorrow night or tonight? What time is it, Yeah, tonight,
our time. He's going there tonight. So we'll speak to
(05:33):
him in just a few moments.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Bryan Bridge, Good morning to him.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Viva, who says Ryan, I think I'll switch off the
news today and watch reruns of Coronation Street fair enough.
I mean some people will hate this, completely hate this.
I find it utterly fascinating. Hey, very quickly, the Irish
Prime has called, well, it's about to call an election,
and I found this live cross from the Irish reporter
(06:06):
over in Dublin quite entertaining. When is he going to
call the election? While they've figured out as a schedule
and I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
We expect that poll annonswer to be at some time
on Thursday, because the doll schedule is pretty heavy on Tuesday,
it's pretty heavy on Wednesday. There is very light on Thursday.
And Simon Harris is due in Budapest for a European
Council meeting as Summit of EU leaders on Friday, so
we expect that Thursday will be the day that is called.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's busy on Tuesday, Wednesday, it's quite late on Thursday.
Away on a trip on Friday, so I'd say it'll
be then. After five year on News Talks, he'd be.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture
Bits and applying store News Talk Sippy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Bring excellent news on the global dury trade auction front
over nights point are sorry up four point eight percent overall,
butter up eight point three percent. Cheed to cheese this
is about forty percent of our cheese exports, so it's
a big one. Cheedd to cheese up four percent overnight,
and mozzarella up point nine percent. That's about eighteen percent
of our cheese exports. So that's a good number. Two, well,
(07:17):
at least it's positive. And by far and away the
most important number you need to hear about is milk powder.
Whole milk powder is up four point four percent. That
is a good jump. Skim milk powder is four percent.
That's our largest export commodity. It's fourteen percent of our total.
So those numbers are good news. This morning, quarter past five,
bread Rich. We're going to talk to Nick Toughly asb
(07:38):
economist about unemployment numbers in just a second, But first
we are heading to the United States to Washington, DC.
Nick Harper is an FSN correspondent with US Live this morning.
As America goes to the polls, We've had the ohighest
senator and running Trumps running mate jd Vance vote already
in Ohio, and Nick is with US Live. Nick, Good morning,
(07:58):
Good morning, Ryan. Tell me what were exactly are the
candidates at the moment and when are we expecting them
to vote?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Well, they're all spread out around the country, essentially voting
where they are stationed. So we've had JD. Van's voting
in Ohio. Donald Trump is due up in Florida anytime soon.
Kamala Harris is here in Washington, d C. Where she's
going to remain for the day, and Tim Wiltz is
over in Minnesota. So scattered across the country coming together
later on. But we have had more than eighty two
(08:27):
million Americans vote early ahead of election day. That's about
a third of all eligible voters. And now we are
hearing long lines at multiple polling stations right across the country.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Why DC, Why is Harrison d C.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Well, there were some options where she could potentially go
California as her home state, but here really has been
her home for the last three and a half four
years as vice president. But it really is looking ahead
to this evening where she has decided to hold her
election night event, choosing Howard University at alma matera where
(09:03):
she went. It's the historically at black university here in
the heart of Washington, DC, and of course that racial
element has been central to her campaign. She is hoping
that she has people of color rallying behind her, as
they often do behind Democrats, but she is hoping that
that will happen this evening at a time when she
is hoping that she could become not just the first
(09:25):
female president, but the first black female president of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
If things get a bit topsy turvy, if things aren't
going well for Trump tonight, what are the contingency plans?
And is that part of the reason that she's in
DC because she wants to be seen to be in
control of that particular location.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Well, potentially, yes, I mean, there is some thinking that
Donald Trump will decide to call a win for him early,
no matter what is happening, even if the polls are
not suggesting or even if there are not enough votes
in that he has won. There is that concern that
he may go ahead with that, and that would obviously
so confusion, misinformation, and prompt lawsuits if he were to
(10:09):
actually go ahead and lose, And he could therefore suggest,
as he did back in twenty twenty, that the vote
was rigged against him. So Kamala Harris, I guess is
trying to distance herself from that. We've already heard accusations
of vote rigging in the last couple of days from
Donald Trump, and she has tried to push back against that.
The hope is that things will run smoothly, but there
is a real potential that it could take several days
(10:31):
for all of this to come out in the wash
and for us to actually find out who is the
eventual winner of the election.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There's also, of course the race for the House and
for the Senate.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Any picks there, well, it is going to be incredibly tight,
and again that is something that we may not know
for some time. The House in particular, just because of
the closeness of some of those races across the country,
there is some thinking that it might not be known
who has control of the House until after we find
out who has become the president. I mean, it is
(11:04):
being spoken about as the closest race in recent history,
not just for the president, but also for control of
the two chambers of conqurest.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Nick, thanks very much for your time this morning, Nick Harbor.
If it's in correspondent in Washington, d C. It is
nineteen minutes after five the unemployment numbers for quarter three
out this morning talk about their next.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture bids and applying store news Talk said.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
B twenty one minutes after five year on news Talk
said be a text here from John says Hi, Ryan,
I'm also totally over the US elections. Elephants have quicker
pregnancies in the outcome won effects in New Zealand much John,
Thank you for your message. Can I just point out
that New Zealand's second largest export market now is the
United States of America over to Australia last year, so
(11:53):
we do care about what they're doing. And if they're
putting a twenty percent tariff on our METex we are
Meatia exports that are going up to the United States.
That is significant. If you're an American going into a
supermarket to buy some meat or you're going to arrest
your as owner restaurant. You're buying meat and there's a
twenty percent tarify on an already premium product during a
cost of living crisis, are you going to buy it?
(12:15):
That could affect US. Also, the trade war that Trump's
talking about with China, they reckon could shave point eight percent,
point eight percent off global GDP this when we're expecting
growth of just three and a half percent. I mean,
that's significant, So I think we should care. I mean,
I know what you mean. It gets boring when people
talk about it all the time, but I think it
(12:37):
is important still. Twenty two after five, Ryan Bridge also
employment the important, I should say. The unemployment numbers out
this morning for quarter three, currently sitting at four point
six percent, but most economists expecting it to rise to
five percent, which would make it the highest since twenty twenty.
We also have new household living cost numbers out yesterday,
which we'll talk about shortly. Nick Touughley is the chief
(12:57):
economist at ASB Bank. Nick, Good morning, Good morning, Great
to have you on the show. So what do you reckon?
What's the number we're looking for today?
Speaker 9 (13:07):
We do think we're going to see employment itself look
less resilient than what it has been and actually fall
about half a percent over this quarter. Now it may
surprise you, but so far during this downturn, employments actually
held up and kept growing even if it slowed to
a core, but things look like they have changed, and
as a result, we're expecting a more noticeable jump and
(13:28):
unemployment around five point one percent, and there is a
banks expecting something closer to that, around five percent as well.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Does that where do you expect it to peak? Because
it was talking mid next year it'd be five point
five percent. Now I'm hearing some people say six.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
We're expecting it all peak a bit over five and
a half percent, but somewhere around that five and a
half six percent range looks about reasonable at this point.
That would still mean it's a lower peak than what
we saw after the global financial crisis, when it was
about six and a half percent and we saw much
larger outright declines and employment.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, so things will still get worse. This is not
our worst number today.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
This probably hopefully this will be the last of a
big four. We do think though that employment does risk
declining towards the end of this year, and we do
have a likely contraction and GDP to come through. But
this is starting to look in the rear vision mirror,
and as we're heading into twenty twenty five, we do
think we'll see growth starting to pick up so those
(14:31):
green shoots that people have been talking about should be
starting to become noticeable.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
All right? What number does the Reserve Bank need? They
were predicting five percent for unemployment today? Would you know
five percent mean? And I know it's not the simple
I'll caveat that nick. But would five percent mean of
fifty basis points? You know? Would more than five percent
mean more likely seventy five? Would less than five percent
mean twenty five?
Speaker 9 (14:57):
I think if it's somewhere around five percent, give or tape,
the Reserve Bank should continue to move at a fifty
point pace at this next meeting. There's a lot of
stuff in there. There's also what's happening with the wage growth,
what is happening with employment itself? That will matter as well.
But I think we're going to need to see substantially
weaker figures. And when I'm saying I'm not, you know,
(15:19):
you're talking about some quite material misses compared to what
reserve banks expecting for them to move by a larger amount.
Never say never, but I think the Reserve Bank would
be I think fairly comfortable move by fifty basis points
and then slow things down of it next year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, Nick, thank you very much for that. We'll
look at the wage growth numbers shortly. Nick Tuffley, chief
economist at ASP Bank. You're on News Talk ZB. It's
Wednesday morning, the early edition Full The Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB News Talk ZBB. Trying to
control kid criminals. You are damned if you do and
(15:55):
damned if you don't. This week a document from Children's
Minister Karen Shaw on the subject leaked. It says giving
military style boot camp providers the power to use force
and extreme circumstances would be controversial. Well, of course it would,
But what are you meant to do? Let the kids
punch each other and not intervene, Let them run on
the road, let them escape and just wave goodbye as
(16:17):
they leave. Oh, he's nearly killing the other kid. Well, remember,
we can't actually do anything, so we'll just watch it happen.
How can you run a boot camp without the last
resort right to intervene and restrain where necessary? At Arwiti waitts,
he says, it's disgusting and unacceptable and I can understand
why it. Darwiti's worked up on this one. The abuse
(16:38):
and State care inquiries showed the worst that can happen.
It was disgusting and disgraceful what went on. But does
that mean that we can never use programs to rehabilitate
these younger serious offenders ever again? And where does that
leave them? In adult jails or they don't like that,
and youth detention centers they don't like that either. Plus
they escape from these things pretty regularly. At home, well
(17:01):
they were, but they committed serious crimes repeatedly. So where
does that leave the kids and the governments tasked with
trying to sort them out? Well, between a rock and
a hard place with an impossible job on their hands.
That's where twenty nine after five, Ryan Bridge, We're going
(17:22):
back to the States. Just before six this morning, We're
speaking to Biden's money man. He was the treasurer for
the Democrats, tasked with getting all those donations. And Carmena
Harris has pulled in a billion bucks since she took
over at the top of the ticket. You're on News Talk, said.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
B on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition
with Ryan Bridge and Smith's City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds
and a plying store.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
News Talk, said B. Good morning, New zeal twenty four
minutes away from six. It is polling down in the
United States. We've got a small resultant from one tiny
little town with six voters. I'll tell you about that
in just a few seconds. Plus, we're live to New
(18:11):
York City. Bill Dera is his name. He's a former
DNC treasurer, basically Biden's money man for three years. What's
his take on Harris's chances. We'll do that before six plus.
Gavin Gray in the UK right now though, a study
out of Japan which is quite concerning for the Japanese
but probably for young people more generally. They did a
(18:33):
survey and they do it every six years about how
many young people are kissing and having relations with one another.
And they've found that eighty percent of high school students
in Japan, so that's fifteen to eighteen year olds. They
were asking eighty percent have never been kissed before the
(18:55):
age of eighteen, never been kissed. In two thousand and
five it was fifty percent, about about half of them
and had had a smooch before they went off to
university or into the workforce whatever. Now just twenty percent
of people under the age of eighteen or between at
fifteen and eighteen, have actually ever had the experience of
a kiss? Why COVID? Of course it's COVID because everyone
(19:18):
was wearing a mask, and so no one kisses anymore.
We don't look at each other in the eye, we
don't kiss one another. We put masks on and we
just talk like robots. And then when something goes wrong
in our lives, we get a baseball bat and we
go and smash a public bus. You know, that's the
world we're living in. Good Morning twenty two away from
six our reporters around the country, Color Practice and Tonedin, Hey, Calum,
(19:43):
we talked a lot about this fashion show for suicide awareness.
How did it go?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Look it ended up being a big win for the
charity that was at the center of this event. Ryan
An alcohol license was in the end granted for this
show after being opposed by police due to the known
link between suicide and alcohol. Then we had Mike King
causing a stir disagreeing with police. He said alcohol's a
(20:08):
solution for mental health and can help stop negative thoughts.
The show organizers tell us the event was a success
that raised at least three thousand dollars for Dunedin's Life
Matters Suicide Prevention Trust and they say they're already looking
forward to doing it again next year.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Brilliant. How's the weather good today?
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Fine patches of morning and evening cloud light, winds and seventeen.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Today A nice one. Thank you Claire in Christ this
morning clear, good morning to you. This gastro outbreak which
is so hard to read about, I'm just going to
listen carefully to how you describe it. But they think
it might have been what chicken.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
Good morning, Ryan, Yes, shredded chicken eating at the university's
Halls of Residence on Sunday night seems to be the
blame for this gastro outbreak. It's impacted hundreds of students
at what is a very crucial exam time for them.
Some of the stories from the Halls of Residents have
been horrendous. We're hearing of lines to use bathrooms at
four am, some students resorting to being sick out of
(21:06):
their windows because there was apparently nowhere else to do it.
Now Inzed Food Safety has been working with an assumption
that it may have been this shredded chicken. They say
that's based off the eleven hours it took from when
the food was eaten and symptoms appeared.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Vincent Arbuckle says that's consistent with unsafe handling practices around
cooling and reheating food, or specifically meat. He says if
the issue was uncooked meat, for example, they'd expect to
see a different incubation period, more like two to five days.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Have you ever seen the movie Bridesmaids. That's that scene
where they all get in these beautiful gowns and including
the bride in the white dress. They've had a bad
Mexican and before I remember, I'm just picturing that. But
on for an entire hall of residence. How's the weather today?
Speaker 11 (21:54):
The hello, clouds breaking to fine this morning, returning this
evening with a bit of drizzle, northeasterlies and making a
way to eighteen.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
That's right. People need their own bathrooms, don't they. I
mean that should be a basic human right. Clear. Thank
you Mexis and Wellington Max. This is good news. Eight
billion dollars for a long tunnel. Oh sorry, this idea
has been scrapped, but there is news in terms of
two new tunnels coming right.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Yeah, sorry, perhaps I confuse you a little with that
throw line.
Speaker 13 (22:23):
No.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
Eight billion was the eventual cost estimate for you know,
for a time senior national figures were hyping the idea
of a long tunnel from up on the terraces down
into Kill Bernie. At one point six million dollars spent
consulting on the idea. Everyone seemed fairly keen on it. Obviously,
that eight billion dollar price tag has alienated them because
(22:45):
they're not going to do that. They're going to build
a second Mount Vict tunnel now, and a smaller one
up around the terrace as well. This will make it easier,
of course to get to and from the airport, the
peninsula that build up, you get around Vivian Streets and
the Iris Tunnel. Hopefully that'll dissipate. The government campaigned on
starting construction on a second Amount Vic tunnel in their
(23:07):
first term. They say they're going to do their best
on that. The latest cost estimate for this newly announced
work was just over two billion dollars. That was last year,
might be slightly more now, but yeah, good news for Wellington.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, it certainly is. And I think they're going to
get the cost and stuff done by midway through next year,
so it'll be a long time before we actually see
any digging. I imagine, how's you wear the max.
Speaker 12 (23:30):
Some early rain this morning should be easing around midday,
cloudy this afternoon eighteen the high in the city.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Have a great day, Neva's and ok, hey, Neva hello.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
I was traumatized with that over the last couple of days,
with that christ touch. That Guestro story awful because I
have seen that movie, you know, Bride'smaids, and I was thinking,
if that was that's my worst nightmare. I would have
to and I know students support they don't have money.
I'd ring my parents and say, hey, put me up
in a hotel because your own bathroom. I even heard
(24:01):
someone vomiting.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I start vomiting.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
No, no, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
The whole owing to a yoga retreat once in China,
and they had this food that was quite. It was
a bit and I was sharing a room with my
friend Augusta in we were doing this yoga thing. I
don't know why. I didn't even know why we were
doing even like yogi. No, I don't even like anyway
before you're not well because they've got those holes in
the ground for toilets. Oh yeah, and they didn't really flush. Anyway,
(24:28):
we all got sick, sharing a room, a hole in
the fall. That's anyway.
Speaker 14 (24:40):
The only other thing I've got to say too, Because
did you tell the nation that you won the Melbourne Cup?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Sweet steak the office?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Sweet steak?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
How much do I get? One hundred and ninety dollars?
Speaker 14 (24:49):
One hundred and ninety dollars?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
You're rich?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 11 (24:52):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (24:53):
Are you gonna buy a chicken meal or something like that?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Chicken? Hey, we're going.
Speaker 14 (24:58):
To read partly cloudy. Twenties are higher in Auckland, Davor.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Thank you. It's seventeen to six year on News Talk ZBB.
You're on News Talk zb. Great to have your company

your to do list, I hear you. Maybe it's finally
time to upgrade the couch or get those appliances sorted.

INZID International correspondents with insid Eye Insurance Peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Think the sex on You talked to Big Devin Grins
and UK Europe correspondent Gavin what is going on with
the Russians and these parcels in career planes.
Speaker 15 (26:17):
Well, lots of people pointed the finger at Russia for this,
Russia denying any responsibility. So over the last of the
three or four months now, there have been a number
of parcels that have effectively caught far and these parcels
have been freight parcels. A lot of them being handled
by DHL, the courier company, and it's being said that
(26:37):
the courier companies have had fires in Poland, Germany and
the UK, and according to Polish prosecutors, they were aimed
at really dry runs a rehearsal aimed at sabotaging flights
to America and Canada. The Polish prosecutors have revealed that
four people have been arrested across Europe and these investigations
(26:58):
across different countries are continuing. It is Western security fishers
who have told American media that they think these fires,
which happened as I said back in July and a
couple later, were part of an orchestrated campaign by Russia's
military intelligence agency otherwise known as the GRU. Russia denies
this responsibility, but many are beginning to point the finger
(27:20):
at IT and Moscow having also been behind other attacks
on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year,
including Sweden and the Czech Republic. They believe the Polish
prosecutors that a group of foreign intelligence sabotas have been
involved in sending parcels containing hidden explosives and dangerous materials
(27:40):
for our courier companies. The parcels then spontaneously burst into
flames or blew up. Indeed, the one that took fire
at Leipzig apparently was shortly about to be delivered onto
an aeroplane four or flights, So extremely dangerous and dhl
for they and their step up security.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
All right. In breaking news, Donald Trump currently speaking outside
of polling both he's just voted and palmbooted Florida. He
says he has no regrets from the campaign and that
he ran his very best campaign that he could. Let's
go back to Devin Gevin. The Netflix officers in Paris
and Amsterdam have been raided. What's happening.
Speaker 15 (28:19):
Yeah, lots of pe asking questions. Not too many details
being revealed, but there are ten million subscribers of Netflix
in France. They opened their ten years ago, and the
streaming giants' offices in Paris and Amsterdam have been raided, apparently.
Officials from both countries cooperating Netflix not making any specific
comment about the raids, but they have always insisted, as
(28:41):
they do now, that they comply with tax laws wherever
they operate. However, the company is apparently under investigation for
tax filings in twenty nineteen twenty and twenty twenty one.
Netflix apparently is, according to claims, minimizing its tax payments
by declaring its turnover is generated in France, by transferring
(29:02):
that to the Netherlands and after it aban In this arrangement,
it is alleged that the annual tax bill jumped from
roughly eighty five million New Zealand dollars to roughly two
billion New Zealand dollars in one year, and the investigation
is all around their tax affairs. Apparently around that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
All right, thanks so much for your time. Gavin Gray,
our UK europe correspondent. It is ten to six.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Donald Trump has just cast his vote in Palm Beach, Florida.
He says the biggest issue in his mind this election
was the border We're going to build. Darrow Now he's
a former DNC treasurer, a Democrat, and is with us
live from New York City. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
Thank you, Good morning in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Thank you for being with me. First of all, no
matter who wins, how are you feeling about the state
of your country right now?
Speaker 13 (29:57):
Maybe I'll be applying for New Zealand passport. I don't
know it is.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
It is terrifyingly UH fraught right now. The uh, the
tensions are very high, the the rhetoric is is very intense.
I think a lot of it has to do with
social media from outside the US. But it's, uh, it's
(30:22):
it's I've never seen it so divided.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Uh in my life.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Have the Democrats lost the ability to penetrate and speak
to those white middle class, working class voters that they
need to get Harris across the line?
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Well, I do think that Democrats have lost some of
the ability to talk to those people. I don't know
that that that will result in not getting across the line.
I think there's a bunch of different factors happening right now,
particularly with women. I'm very optimist stick as a Democrat,
(31:01):
that there's sort of a silent majority of women, large majority,
who are going to vote for Kamala Harris, not because
she's going would be the first female president, but really
to stop the other side in the things that they
have been doing and saying, you know, with respect to
women's reproductive rights, with respect to women's rights in general.
(31:25):
I do think we have a lot of work to
do with the white working class. My father was a
Union carpenter, so I'm very familiar.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
With that.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
That world, and I do think having Tim Walls as
as vice president will be will be helpful in connecting
with people like that.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
What's happening in You're in New York City right now,
what's happening there in terms of protest backlash preparing for
that that potential.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
I think that there is a potential of a Trump
winner or a Harris one.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Harris win, I think people.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
In New York in general, I'm there is an interesting
divide amongst people who would traditionally be Democratic voters, but
if they're Jewish Americans, some of them are taking a
different perspective now because it was happening in the Middle East.
And I'm going to stay out of that other than
to say, I think it's kind of silly on both sides,
(32:23):
people who are not going to vote for Harris because
they don't think she's strong enough for people on the
other side saying she's not doing enough for the Gosins.
I'm not saying it's ridiculous in the sense that those
are huge issues, but I think clearly Donald Trump would
be worse for everybody over there. But I think in
(32:44):
New York. A lot of people are nervous about what
might happen. That being said, it is predominantly a democratic city,
but I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, if Donald
Trump tonight is announced the winner in a massive landslide,
then I think you will see a bunch of people
coming out protesting. Not unlike the women's march you had
(33:07):
after the election in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
So potential for protests either way. Bill, thank you very
much for being with us here in New Zealand today.
Great to have your company. That's Bill dere He's the
former DNC treasure It is.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Sex to Sex News and views you trust to start
your day. It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store. News Talk said.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Be it is four minutes away from six News Talks.
It'd be Mike's here next, Mike Big Day today. Very good.
Speaker 16 (33:34):
I'm I'm most well, I'm not most excited about the presidency,
but as we're just talking off here, I'm most interested
in the Senate because the senses they could flip that.
So if Trump wins and they flipped the Senate's that's
that's a trifector.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's all the power in the world.
Speaker 16 (33:46):
If Harris wins and they flipped the Senate, she's lame
duck Henry. So there's actually a lot to play for
beyond the presidency today. So these are exciting times, right
R and D.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
We'll look forward to Mike Shownick. I'll be with you
from four pm insidherl dot co dot ezid's live coverage.
