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. 

"Next year's on me": 7/10 

Got there at last. In a country with less than no money, why spend a fortune on an idea that didn’t, doesn’t, and won't, work. 

Sir Graham Henry: 8/10 

This is an excellent idea, and Dave Rennie needs to be congratulated. Big brains and a lot of experience are not to be underestimated. 

The war: 4/10 

For the first time, I think Trump is stuck. Yes, he can hold out but he doesn’t have the political road. In the ebb and flow of this story, he is now the 'ebb'. 

The Australian Budget: 2/10 

Based on a blatant lie. They said they wouldn’t and they did. And they wonder why politicians are held in shocking regard. 

Keir Starmer: 1/10 

Makes Albanese look straight up and down.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It turned out to mark the weak little piece of

(00:01):
news and current events that has never never been in trouble,
any trouble at all in Nicoloblis's office. Next Year's on
Me seven got there at last. In a country with
less than no money, why spend a fortune on an
idea that didn't, doesn't and won't work the climate in
court seven, there's a good idea. It constrains court creep,
it contains adventurous troublemakers. It reminds us the ultimate court,

(00:22):
the Parliament, is the one that counts Sir Graham Henry eight. Yes,
this is an excellent idea as well. Dave Brynny needs
to be congratulated. Big brains and a lot of experience,
and not to be underestimated. His weathers shortly are the
New Zealand victim mentality one. Mikey Sherman quit because she
was a marriy woman and Tory Farnow left the country
because she was a mari woman, or also says the

(00:43):
commentary this week. Until that level of myopic, petty party
nonsense is shelled, there isn't a lot of hope for
any of us. The war four the blockhead is incredible.
The power of the blockhead is incredible. Now for the
first time, I think Trump is actually stuck. Yes he
can hold out, but he doesn't have the political road
to hold out. In the ebb and flow of the story,
he's now ebb. The Australian budget too, based on a

(01:06):
blatant lie. They said they wouldn't and yet they did.
And they wonder why politicians are held in shocking regard.
Keir Starmer, speaking of which one my bye bye bye bye,
Mike's elbow looks straight up and down the toaster. Three.
How bad does Hipkins and his cronies look now? They've
been bust today in a world where you want better,

(01:26):
they remind you a lot of it's still played in
the gutter? Are the warrior? Seven? We have two points
from a bye, two points from the Broncos. But how
about old Luki as so much talent now some of
them are going to leave the building. Jud Judith Judith
Collins eight. I'm over politics and looking forward to going

(01:48):
back to my first loves, my family and the law.
Big contribution stayed classy, sucked up, the leadership, did a
lot of stuff, off to do some more stuff. That's
a career and that's the week, copies on the website
and we can can firm now very happy Pierce Brosnan,
who popped by this week and grabbed a small gift
pack of marking the week, as well as taking out
a three year subscription for more from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
