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 Māori Party: 1/10 

They get a '1' because they are legitimately there because of votes, and that’s democracy. As for the rest of the performance, they are a joke and an embarrassment to this country. 

 

The Greens: 2/10 

They get a '2' and not a '1' only because they get more support in the polls. But the prospect of Labour letting them round a Cabinet table? Book my ticket out. 

 

Trump: 3/10 

One better than the Greens because to counter tariffs of others is not free trade, but it is understandable. As for the rest, he's mental. 

 

The Warriors: 7/10 

Because three in a row is three in a row. And two more points this weekend, which on the Mike Hosking scoresheet, is four in a row. 

 

The America's Cup: 4/10 

I never thought it was going to held here so I wasn’t surprised, or disappointed. Although, in the spirit of being open for business, I would have liked to have seen a bit more enthusiasm from the Government. Pleading poverty is a poor man's game, not a go getter's. 

 

The jobs report: 2/10 

Saddest story of the week for me. To have over half the country regretting their career is a study in lack of planning, or lack of action, or lack of living life to the full.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to mark the week little piece of news
and current events that's hotter than the bell on opening
day of the New York Stock Exchange for Newsmax. Are
the Murray Party one they get one are because they're
legitimately they're because of votes and that's democracy and you
can't argue with it. As for the rest of the
performance this week, there are a joke in an embarrassment
to this country. Are the Greens two? Two not one?
Are because they get more support in the polls and

(00:20):
the Murray Party, but the prospect of labor letting them
round a cabinet table, I mean really booked my ticket
out Trump Three they rip us off. It's so sad
to see. It's so pathetic. One better than the Greens
because to counterterriffs of others is not free trade. But
it's understandable. I get it. As for the rest of it,
he's mental. Are the Warriors seven? Yes? Because three in

(00:41):
a row is three in a row and two more
points this weekend, of course, which on the Mike Hosking
score sheet is four in a row. Clarkson's Farm seven
because launch date was revealed this week for season four.
It is May twenty three market down. See. Even though
there's there's a lot of it about these days, quality television,
I reckon remains a looser for reminding us quantity is
not automatically equality. The America's Cup four, I never thought

(01:05):
it was going to be held here, so I wasn't
a surprise and I wasn't disappointed, although in the spirit
of being open for business, I would have liked to
have seen a bit more enthusiasm from the government. I mean,
pleading poverty is a poor man's game, not a go
getter game. Hawks Bay Wine eight could be, could be
a classic, vintage, could be like twenty thirteen. It's been
an awesome summer for a lot of us, really, hasn't it.
Here's cheers. The Jobs Report too shared a story of

(01:27):
the week for me to have over half the country
regretting their career as a study and lack of planning
or lack of action, or lack of living life to
the full. The school lunch pole seven. Most of us
think parents should make our kids lunches. What that shows
is most of us are still attached to some form
of reality. Corey Booker six, so fasted for das into it.
I start drinking water a long time ago, achieved nothing

(01:50):
outside of optics, but twenty five plus hours of stammer
it to be admired and a bladder to be impressed by.
I would have thought that's the week copies on the
website and everyone who works on this, by the way,
was paid the new living wage. It was all also
recognize this week that when taken properly, this is just
as of affective as we're going. For more from The
