Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for Tuesday.
First of yesterday's news. I am Glen Hart, and we
are looking back at Monday. It's easier to join the
defense force, so get on down there. Speaking of joining things,
have you ever been on a jury? From the No, no, say,
(00:44):
it isn't. So far, we're still talking about the Treaty
Principal's Bill that isn't even really a bill. And Marcus
reveals some shocking health news that's happened, something that's happened
to him. Stay tuned for that shock ending to the podcast.
But before any of that, markets are only going one
(01:06):
way at the moment, Thanks thanks mister Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Number one, stocks are falling, but they're not the real economy.
They are the value that people with money placed on
a company, and they can be an early sign of
a potential recession, but they're often wrong. They've called more
recessions the stock markets that haven't happened over the years
than have They're unreliable at doing this. Number two, so far,
(01:30):
only China has retaliate retaliated in any major way to
the tariffs. We haven't yet got a proper world war
trade war. Number three. The economists pumping out the GDP
predictions don't have loads of data to drive them yet,
so read them like you wouldn't email from HR. Interesting
but doesn't really mean much. Move on Number four. These
(01:52):
headlines about worse than COVID or worse since GFC, these
relate to the sheer market only at this point, Remember,
and even then the average drop in world shares there's
an index you can look at GFC was thirty four percent,
COVID down twenty four percent so far, with Trump's tariffs
thirteen percent, plus the AX is recovering in the last
(02:16):
couple of hours. So yes, we should all have a
life jacket and a whistle at the ready, But by
no means, despite what you read and may fear, should
we be jumping overboard and abandoning ship just yet?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Is that an option? Can we get off? I know
that we can? Can we Where do we go? If
we jump off? What are we jumping off? From? Uncertain times?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Indeed, news talk z been.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now apparently it's easier to become part of the New
Zealand Defense Force, and I know what you're thinking. You're thinking,
you thought we'd run that down and we didn't have
one anymore. Apparently there's a few people there, but they'd
like a few more a boost.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
You know, that money was all spent on new planes,
ships and vehicles. I mean they money needed to be
spent on them. You couldn't keep some of those planes
in the air. And the dear old money Wanu he
was bought and that disappeared. The problems causing the mass
exodus of personnel weren't addressed, and that is the poor pay.
(03:28):
They're about seven to sixteen percent percent less than civilian counterparts.
Poor pay, substandard housing, the lack of career advancement, and
the lack of leadership. So those are the problems. That
is why people are leaving. They can't see any way
to advance there. It used to be a great career option.
(03:49):
If you wanted to get you go to university, if
you wanted to learn a trade, you join the forces.
You'd have subsidized housing, you'd put in your service to
the country, and in return you'd have a great career.
You'd have options after you'd done your time. If you
decided to leave, if you could go into city Street,
(04:10):
you'd be snapped up in no time because they knew
that training was great, that you'd be a benefit to
any organization that's just no longer there. So the problems,
the reason why people are leaving is the poor pay,
the substandard housing, the lack of career advancement, the poor leadership,
(04:33):
and that simply hasn't been addressed other than two dumb down,
lower and compromise standards. And we've seen what happens when
you do that. Loose lips might sink ships. But so
too to loose standards and loose training.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Just what they did with the police. Remember how you
know too many people couldn't climb up a wall in
the fitness tests. Are they lowered the wall or dagged
them a ladder or something? I don't know. I don't
know how many criminals have got away climbing over walls
since then. We'll look into that talk now. I'm not
(05:12):
quite sure how you qualify to be on a jury.
I've only been asked once, and work wrote me a letter.
I'll say no. If he's not here to push the buttons,
nobody will hear my husking talking or it might have
even been poor homes. That's how long ago it was.
And I've never heard from them since. Some people end
(05:35):
up on jury.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
So as the defendants kind of were lead back out,
one of the guys in this jury pool like an
absolute bogan with a mullet and area of missles and
Hamilton by the way, as the defendants were coming out,
he yelled out like slur at him and said yeah,
yeah if and you know, like peg and stuck here
for whatever. And and anyway, the defense went out, and
(05:56):
then after recess they came back in and the lawyer
and the judge said, like, apparently one of you know,
someone on the pool yelled something out, stand up if
you heard it, And of course we all heard it.
And the defense counsel argued that we were now prejudice
because because of that idiot yelling something out and we
all lasted. It was so close and I and I
had to go home and they had to basically recall
(06:17):
it for the day a whole new call.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Wow, So it's that sensitive. Just that you'd heard the
opinion of some bogan who was yelling that was enough
to say that you've been contaminated and couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Wow, that's that's a that's a really low bar to
rule people out.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I would say.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Nothing worse of being contaminated by a bogan. I hate that,
especially a Hamiltonian bogan. I've come up against a few
Hamiltonian bogans in my time, and I always make sure
i'd shower down thoroughly after that to try and avoid
(06:57):
any contamination. That's for sure. Little word on the Treaty
Principles still, and I am going to kick the short
because I'm so thoroughly sick and tired.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Of hearing about this thing that isn't remember that Malory
are organized. Anyone who's seen their multiple hiccoys and their
awesome organization of the King's Tongue, he should know that
you underestimate Malory at your own peril. They got organized
and they swamped the Select Committee. But it must also
be noted that the acts that that Axe Act, it
(07:27):
was a bit of a simplistic dog in my opinion,
much of it already covered by the Bill of Rights.
At its heart, it was three sentences designed to overthrow
fifty years of legal development. But is the movement against
the Treaty Principles dead. No, it is not New Zealand.
First one to have a crack. Winston Peters, being the
(07:47):
experienced legislator that he is, wants to amend all the
existing Treaty Principles legislation that we already have. If you remember,
he ran his election campaign on it, and it is
this smart way to achieve real change because it's already
in the law. You just changed the thing. As we
approach the changeover between Peters and Seymour of the Deputy
(08:07):
PM role, Winston will have the time and the energy
to have a crack. So welcome to round two of
the Treaty Principles debate, a round that has much more
chance to succeed.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Things like Freddy Krueger. It just won't die and eventually
it'll kill me in my dreams.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
News Talk ze Bean.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Now shocking health news from Marcus who's got some terrible condition.
I can't what remember the name of it. Just remind me, Marcus.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
So f fantasia is if I ask you to close
your eyes and picture an apple. So we want to
do that. Close your eyes and picture an apple. Can
(09:03):
you see an apple? Because I can't, and I just
thought that normal. So two percent to five percent have
our fantasia, which I have. So I can't see an
(09:23):
apple if there's nothing there. If I close my eyes,
I can visualize nothing. This is quite recent decision on
this that people are discovering it. So a lot of
people will perfectly realistic see it, some will realistic and
see it reasonably vivid, some will see it moderately realistic,
(09:44):
some will see it dim and vague. But I see
no apple. I'm trying it again, and I've never thought
that I had anything as interesting as affantasia. So you
don't form visual representations of objects when you're thinking of it.
And I'm just frety fully diagnosing this for myself. Now,
it's not a disability. I don't think you know, I
(10:09):
think it's a bad thing, but certainly I've got it.
So could someone ring me up and tell me when
I say, think of an apple, do you see an apple?
And what color is it? What does it look like?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Or?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Because I think probably most people a lot more people
would be fantaisi X. I'm finding it quite fascinating. But
there's no apple all. I mean, some people see the
apple and it's it's got a leaf and it's got
stripes down the size, and it might be a Pippins
or a Cox's Orange. I've got nothing. Some people sit
(10:42):
in black and white and some people just see nothing
at all. I'm trying this the whole time. I got
eyes closed. I've seen nothing at all. So if I say,
close your eyes and see an apple, tell me what
you see.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Is it just apples that you can't see, or is
it everything? I think it's everything. I'm seventy two percent
sure it's everything. So not a visibility though. I thought
it was been going to be able to get myself
one of those things you hang off your rear vision
mirror so you can pack in the accessible car parts,
(11:15):
except I don't have it. I see apples every time
I close my eyes. I guess I could just say
that I can't, though, like, how do they test for that?
I also hear the apples as well. That's the really disturbing.
(11:35):
Not only can I see the apples, I can hear
them too much going on there. That's why I try
to avoid closing my eyes. I think we'll see you
back here again tomorrow if you can stand it.
