Mark the Week: The shooting changed the race

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. 

 

The shooting: 7/10 

Because it's changed the race, possibly changed the world, put a spotlight on America and focused in on all that is wrong and right about the place. 

 

Donald Trump: 9/10 

Survived a shooting, may or may not have involved God and got another court case delayed while getting his party's nomination. So a pretty good week then. 

 

Joe Biden: 3/10 

This time last week he held a press conference to reassure everyone, except he ended up doing the opposite, then went and got Covid while his party panics and passes open letters around the place. 

 

Arbitrators: 7/10 

Say whatever you want about the police pay decision, but it’s a hell of a lot better than a year's worth of back and forward going nowhere, isn't it? 

 

The King and Queen: 4/10 

Not coming. Booo. 

 

Our motor racers: 8/10 

Liam Lawson in RB20 testing, Scott McLaughlin winning in Indy and the first time on an oval, plus Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy looking to win the Formula E title this weekend. That's a lot of talent in a big world from a small country.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Turned out to mark the weak little piece of news
and current events. That's as exciting as vote in barretton
twenty minute bursts the shooting seven because it's changed the race,
possibly changed the world, put a spotlight on America and
focused in on all that is wrong and right about
the place. Trump nine.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
In many ways, it changes your your attitude, your viewpoint
during life. And I think, honestly, I think you appreciate
God even.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
More suburb to shooting may or may not have involved
God and got another court case delayed while getting his
party's nomination. So pretty good week then. Jdvarnsay, I'd love
to just talk with people and answer some questions and
take some photos. Got a job with a bloke he hated,
and book sales rocketed. Not a bad week either, Jack
Black two Google fleck goo goo goo flea goo googoo.

(00:43):
Not directly his fault, but a very tangible and public
example of why the whole hate debate has gone way
too far. Act seven. One of the worst things that
could happen to me is I could actually become the
government for two good ideas this week. One their desire
to change workplace laws so that that nonsense in the
courts over ruber drivers never sees the light of day again,
and they're design to get counsels out of climate change hah.
Climate change six the government's new agenda published this week,

(01:06):
relying more on science and less on bashing farmers about
the head more common sense. The Commerce commissioned six looks
like they are flat out supermarket mergers, airport charges, telco rulings, busy, busy,
bussy arbitrators. Seven. Say whatever you want about the police
pay decision, but it's a hell of a lot better
than a year's worth of back and forth going nowhere?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Isn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
A three eighties airbus this week hinted they might start
rebuilding them again. Quite possibly. Then the best thing that
came out of COVID. If you've never been on an
A three eighty, you haven't flun Joe Biden three a
minor horace.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Where are you? Man?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
This time last week held the press conference to reassure everybody,
except ended up doing exactly the opposite, then went and
got COVID while the Party panics and passes open letters
about the place. Are the King and Queen four? Not coming?
Boo our motor races?

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Eighth Lilliam Lawson and the RB twenty ten this week,
Scott mclochlan winning an Indy first time on an oval,
Mitch Evans, Nick Cassidy looking to win the Formula Le
title this weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's a lot of talent in a big world from
a small country, don't you reckon? And that's the week
copies on the website. And if you take sixteen of
these eight for each hand, cut them into ribbons, you
can use them to do star jumps and memory of
Richard Simmons. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen
