Mark the Week: Trump is a complete and utter chaotic clown

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. 

 

Donald Trump: 1/10 

Complete and utter chaotic clown. You don’t treat the world economy like this. 

 

Clowns: 2/10 

In order: Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Pete Hegseth, and Karoline Leavitt. 

 

The IRD: 6/10 

Collected close to a billion dollars in unpaid tax, simply by looking – quite a good concept! 

 

Paul Goldsmith: 6/10 

Is it ingenious or worrying when you're asking the Mike Hosking Breakfast for policy ideas? 

 

Wool: 8/10 

Wool deserves a break. In pure economic terms I'm not sure this is on the Government to spin the line, far less the yarn. But it's Winston's baby and he's 80-years-old today so, why not? 

 

Andrew Little: 6/10 

Is he the answer for Wellington, or a retired politician looking for work?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to mark the week. It's the little piece
of using current events that's as revelationary as the first
time we all heard the word this week lethality trump one.
These countries are calling us up, kissing my ass, complete
and utter chaotic clown You don't treat the world economy
like this. Clowns actually too, I'm not calling it a
treat war in order, bessn't Lutnik, HeiG Seth and Leavitt

(00:24):
are the IRD six collected close to a billion dollars
and unpaid tax simply by looking It's quite a good concept,
that isn't it? Our business confidence six up and moving
in the right direction this week? Housing six up and
moving in the right direction? Asking price up, sales up,
listings up, Paul Goldsmith six. I'd be interested in your
listeners if they could come up with I think we've
got to come up with something that's irritating and difficult

(00:46):
and annoying. Is it ingenious or worrying? Asking the Mike
Hosting Breakfast audience for policy ideas well. Eight all deserves
a break and pure economic terms, I'm not sure this
is the government to spend that line far less the yarn,
but it's Whinston's birthday today. He's eighty, so why not
Winston eighty? I reckon politically anyway, He's never looked better.

(01:08):
The Ministry of Transport Tosh simple question asked on Monday,
show us your regional airline data. Have they? Well? I
have more in a moment exactly polls seven. We've had
three in a row now that has the government getting back.
It's a consistent series of figures. I would have thought
decent signed for them. David Parker six, nice bloke. Not

(01:29):
sure he ever really truly fired in politics? The Rama
Reform at nine hundred plus pages, not really at home
to remember Andrew Little six? Is he the answer to
Wellington or just a retired politician looking for work? Defense
eight I'm still fascinated to see where that nine billion
of new money is coming from. But as a concept
being Adulton playing our part globally as well. Overdue supercars eight?

(01:52):
Yeah to po timing are the green Doyle one? Are
the hope? It's yes, exact. The hope is one day
what they you know, what they attracted attention to for
is is, I don't know, loosely associated with the environment
and they remembered the environment, the greens, The environment are
the green pool. One mean free promo shot what I

(02:13):
said a minute ago. That's the week, copies on the
website and a writer's review is underway on this because
no one managed to get the word panikin in despite
my express and stra hold on, they just did. For
