Mark the Week: Trump has had a significantly positive week

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. 

 

Trump: 7/10 

He has had a significantly positive week: SCOTUS sacking people has gone his way, deals with Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan, and Australia flipped on beef. Only downside is he's stuck in the Epstein files, and he has cankles. 

 

Nicola “mainland” Willis: 4/10 

The old "I'm going to teach them a thing or two" trick blew up in her face. 

 

NCEA: 6/10 

We will wait for the detail, but the idea that the joke that is NCEA gets blown up is no bad thing. 

 

Colbert: 7/10 

The defence was "but he is number one". But the reality is being number one only counts if you're making money. He wasn’t. 

 

The helipad appeal: 1/10 

This country is too full of timewasters. We had a hearing, everyone had their say, someone won and someone didn’t. That’s life. 

 

Sky TV: 8/10 

A small bag of lollies for a buck is good enough, far less a whole TV station.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Timed out to marke the week, little piece of news
and current events that's more appealing than coke, even if
it is now made with cane sugar. Trump seven. You
know when we called Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what,
let's not let's not go too far here. Key Ways
had a significantly positive week. Scotus a sacking people that's
gone his way, deals with Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan.

(00:22):
Epstein files and he's got cankles. Adrian or two. Yeah,
that's a statement. Looks like the facts. You thought he
was a bit party and self important turned out to
be true. Nicola Mainland willis for the old. I'm going
to teach him a thing or two trick blew up
in her face NCEA six. We'll wait for the actual detail,

(00:42):
but the idea that the joke that is the NCEEA
gets blown up is no bad thing. Six billion six
infrastructure that is actually happening. Praise the Lord, bring it
on more, please, everyone must go. Seven had a target
more than Mitts target. It's a win. We like wins.
Go Tourism, Scottie Scheffler seven. For a bloke who was

(01:05):
wondering what it was all about before the first round.
That wasn't a bad weekend of pondering. Was it? Inflation? Six?
That's because it was lower than they thought. But but
it still doesn't address the problem that the RB aren't
doing what they need to do to father joint up
netball six because they woke up and changed that dumb
rule about you know, players going overseas. But Decanacio then
goes and goes, by the way, I'm not here next year,
and they've got no broadcast deal and teams are openly

(01:26):
talking about the future of the game. Colbert seven. The
defense was but he's number one. But the reality of
being number one, it only counts if you're making money.
He wasn't. The Helipad appeal one. This country is two
full of time wasters. We had a hearing. Everyone had
their say, someone won, someone didn't. That's life. Sky TV eight.

(01:50):
Small bag of lollies for a dollar. That's good enough,
far less a whole teley station. Liam Gallagher eight summed
it up nicely. It's none of our effing business. That
is the week copies on the website and yes, we're
all those asking. The guides have produced a Marking the
Week badge, and you have to be witty, insightful and
funny and put a lot of random numbers around it.
I mean, how hard can it be. For more from
