Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said Bee
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Used Talk said, be you Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean Tuesday
Verse with yesterday's news. I am Glen Harten.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
We are looking back at Monday. There was a poll.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The only reason I bring it up was because other
people are most station were bringing it up Ukraine. I
think we're pretty much sorted all that out and we're
gonna finish app walking up, pump pumping soup, booking it up,
booking it down. I don't know, we'll find out at
the end of the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It is pumping soup time and year, isn't it. But
first up the Green Party they head there, I don't
know what do they call it.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Get together over the weekend and they see to be
going absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Cobby Swarbrick saying, and I quote, we need to rebuild society.
So I put a question to her, does that society
include capitalism?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Capitalism is pretty cooked, right.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Capitalism is centered around prioritizing profit above the well being
of people in planet pretty cook, she says, And yeah,
I mean, how much of a say, does Chloe Swarbrick
want to have in a potential.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
To say, yeah, rebuild society?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
What does communism? What does that put above humanity? It
tends to not really back the humans much in the end.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And I suppose as well, there's these questions how much
of a say do the Greens want to have in
a potential government. Here's what Chloe Swarbrick told us.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I mean, I'm really interested in holding the finance portfolio.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Cleary so says she's clearly interested in holding the finance portfolio.
It would be a huge move to see the Greens
hold that portfolio.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I think Labor will not be liking hearing this because
if their potential coalition partner has said that capitalism is cooked,
then that as that's a huge anvil around the neck
of the NAT Labor Party.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I would say, yeah, yeah, So there will definitely be
questions on where Labor stands on all of this. I mean,
they'll turn to the Greens in terms of a potential coalition,
So where's that balance going to be struck in those
economic changes? And will Swarbrick be the Minister of finance?
So there definitely are some questions.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Coming out of this, it's going to be a hell
of an election.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
That's the show.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You just let them talk, don't you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You give them all the oxygen they need to self distract.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think that's what happens once you pay too much,
because I don't think that. I've always had this theory
that Green voters don't actually pay that a much attention
to who they're voting for and what they're actually saying,
because the more that they explain their views on things,
the more unusual it seems.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Sometimes you talk Zeth Been.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm probably wrong, though, as somebody who's never wrong, as
Karry would have.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Of course, how did she see it?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
The Greens held their agm over the weekend and Swarbrick
urged the Party Faithful to build the party's fan base.
She wants them to be talking to miners and factory
workers and farmers, to people who are fed up with
politics and the two main parties, and who are looking
for alternatives, alternatives to the main parties and alternatives to capitalism.
(03:42):
She also says she wants to have more say in
the next government. She and Madimer Davidson want to be
the ones calling the shots, forming the government and deciding
the policies. Chloe's put herself up as finance minister in
the next coalition government and if you want to see
what that looks like, well, the Greens, unlike Labor, have
(04:04):
put up their economic policies to be scrutinized. They have
put up an alternative budget. What this latest pole says
is that Green supporters should take heart. People are tired,
they are fed up. They can't see the status quo
helping them. National labor whatever. They're interchangeable, they're hard workers,
(04:29):
they're good citizens, and they're still not getting ahead. The
only way they can see a future for themselves and
their families is by leaving the country. Does that mean
they're ready to put the Greens in the driver's seat, Well,
according to this latest poll, they're willing to put labor there.
So surely it's not such a great stretch of the
(04:51):
imagination to see the Greens getting the votes they need
to call the shots in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of course, the funny thing is I completely agree with
the capitalism is.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Basically self destructive.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
At the end of the day, it works for a while,
and now it's starting to not work, and it's causing
things like, you know, the end of a breathable Liverpool planet.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
For human beings. But yea, all that lasted.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Qu's talk city?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So how are they polling the Greens? How's everybody polling?
How about this pole? Yes, that's right, another meaningless pole.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
National should be worried because these polls show that enough
voters don't want to vote for National either, because right
now they are profoundly disappointing, aren't they. I mean, answer
me this question. What has this government done to help
the economy? Apart from the investment tax boost incentive in
the budget? In mate, what have they actually done? I
feel like the answer is nothing. Yes, this economy was
(05:59):
shot when they took it over. It's not their fault.
But their election promise was to get it back on track.
But in order to get it back on track, you
actually have to do something, and they've done nothing. Spending
more than grant. They're running deficits from here until basically
the end of their possible term, and they're making announcements
of things that they might want to do sometime in
the future, but they're not doing it just yet. If
there is a vibe in this country right now, especially
(06:22):
in places like Auckland and Wellington. It's a vibe that
I Reckon kicked in about five or six weeks ago, properly,
just after the halfway mark of this government's electoral term,
when people realized, you know what, we're halfway through and
they've done nothing and this economy still sucks. And that
I think is what you're seeing in this poll. Just
a lot of disappointment.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And yeah, quite good Marx for the sort of there's
a living outside party. Okay, Kick, they need to work
on their name recognition because it hasn't sunk in with me.
But oh, I don't like the idea of living outside
either for that matter. So I hope they go down
again in the next pole, which I'm sure will be
any minute now.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Right, So Trump's going to sort out in Russia.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Just this morning he's been saying that there's going to
be some kind of land swapping going on, which will
be good but will also be bad. He also described
some of the occupied territories that Russia wants back as
prime real estate because they're ocean front. So yeah, I
think he's got to handle on everything and it'll all
(07:31):
work out great.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
One million Russian soldiers have been killed or injured four
hundred thousand for the Ukrainian side, including sixty to one
hundred thousand dead. The Russians now occupy about twenty percent
of Ukraine, and the guy responsible for this hell fire
is not being dragged by some soldiers into an international
(07:54):
criminal court to face charges. No, he's about to be welcomed,
wined and dined by the most powerful man in the
world to discuss the terms for a ceasefire, which includes
keeping land that is not entitle too. If we put
ourselves in Ukrainian shoes for just a second, if war
was to return to the Pacific theater, it would be
(08:15):
like Washington and Beijing meeting to decide that China can
keep and occupy all of the land north of Auckland
simply because they took it, and you meant to sit
back and be grateful that at least the fighting will stop.
Ukrainians certainly aren't ready to roll over on territory. The
Europeans are huddling around Zelenski now to give them some
(08:36):
moral support, but they need more than cuddles and handshakes
to bandage over what must feel like an insult to
their country and to their sovereignty. Two global superpowers meeting
far far away in Alaska and deciding the fate of
their nation.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, everything's fine everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Another little stuff at the tankle Trump this morning was there.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
He seemed to think he was going to Russia by
going to Alaska.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I think that's been Yeah, been taking a little bit
out of context. It could be bad stuff. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
News Talk Zip Bean.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Right, we're gonna finish up with some pumpkin soup. We
had to have the soup at the end, isn't it.
You normally have the soup at the beginning, but it's
different with podcasts.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Finally, I've had some success with the pumpkin soup and
Jet was good, really good. I think the key to
it was a tinner canaloni beans in there as well
before you put in the hole. Didn't mesh the whole that.
I'll give you the recipe later. I think it was
just you just onions, garlic, ginger. Then you put your
(09:51):
half a cumra, half a pumpkin cumera, a couple of
teaspoons and cuddy powdered curry powder, then a bit of
coconut cream, and then you in with the tin of beans.
Jet was good. Get the whole stick and mix, mix
and mix it up. Well, I'm not I don't know
those tie pumpkin soups so much. They're kind of gonna
sweat just about them.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
But this one was good. Had body to.
Speaker 9 (10:10):
It, even more Moorish day but a crack pepper and gee,
that was good. So yeah, I want to soup high.
I've made pumpkin soups every year for about twenty years
and it's never come right but this one, and I
don't know if it were I'll make it again tomorrow.
I don't know if it was the quality of the
pumpkin or just the soup in general. Extremely good. Even
the kids ate it, or one kid did. There's always
(10:33):
one kid that well soup soup. Remember, they get the
idea that soup's not a fun thing to eat.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
What's no fun?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Really?
Speaker 9 (10:38):
I suppose I think kids like things that they can
sort of bite into.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, but that's why you say it for krasty bread.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's the main reason I used to eat soup as
a kid was for the crasty bread.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I also used to put blobs of cheese in
the tomato soup.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They're sort of a cheese and tomato thing going on
with slightly melged cheese floating around in it. It's weird,
isn't it That I've got the half pills every day
to keep myself alive.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
There's a connection there into that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm probably back tomorrow, Part condition allowing.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
