At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Anthony Albanese: 8/10 

Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected. 

 

Nigel Farage: 8/10 

Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected. 

 

Donald Trump: 6/10 

Between the redecorating tips, the movie move, the GDP going backwards, Mark Carney, whatever the Middle East announcement is, the deals he wants to do, the deals he doesn’t want to do, his withdrawal of another nomination, defunding of public broadcasting, his outrage over the Emmy nod for the interview he's suing over, plane loads of illegal's to Syria, Lord knows how many court cases - and that’s just this week! Have you ever seen a more omnipresent international player? 

 

Erica Stanford's email: 2/10 

The biggest time-wasting nonsense of the week. 

 

Adrian Orr's farewell: 4/10 

The saddest thing you ever heard. $6,000 for water, juice and biscuits.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time to mark the week? Are the little piece of
news and current events that's as insightful as Warren Buffett
in a contemplative mood over an icy cold Coca Cola
elbow eight Better than anyone, and I suspect even he
expected Nigel Farage eight, dude, better than anyone, and I
suspect even he expected Trump. Six. You see the new

(00:20):
and improved Oval office, between the redecorating tips, the movie move,
the GDP game backwards Carnee, the error announcement, whatever that is.
Are the deals he wants to do, the deals he
doesn't want to do. His withdrawal of another nomination, defunding
of the public broadcaster is outrage over the Emmy nod
for the interview he's suing over planeloads of illegals to Syria.
Lord knows how many court case and that's just this week.
Have you ever seen a more omnipresent international player? Harry too?

(00:46):
I want reconciliation, but I might write another book. Is
he the thickest royal you've ever seen? Parmeerston North six?
The fizzy vote that went nowhere? Good on you get
out of people's lives? The egg forecast eight Everything bar
logs looks to be going up. The dairy auction nine.
It's almost ridiculously good. The jobless rate six. The good

(01:08):
news is it might well have peaked. Let's hope so
pay equity six because it, at least in part, tries
to make sense of a muddle made up by do
gooders who got hijacked and forgot the common sense along
the way. Oh and by the way, they used our
money to do it. Erica's email too. That was the
biggest waste of time, pile of nonsense of the week,

(01:29):
New Choppers seven. Like Judith so eloquently said, we are
going to turn up like a real country. Adrianaor's farewell
for Yeah, that's a statement. The saddest thing you have
ever heard. Six thousand bucks for water, juice and biscuits
sketches eight at nine billion dollars proves rudeness. Theres no

(01:52):
barrier or riches now that is the week copies on
the website. It is not true that small pieces of
old marking the weeks were found in some school lunches
this week. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen
