Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News talks'd be follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the rewrap for Tuesday. All
the best buts from the Mike asking breakfast on Newstalks.
You'd be in a sillier package. I am Glen Hart
and today working from home. Done over, no more. Apparently
the Green Party poses even more questions. Speaking of questions,
(00:49):
will Mike actually ever end up going to the US
to cover the presidential election there? And how is asparagus
going or growing? Before any of that? This pockinghorn case
that a lot of people have been obsessed with Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'm listening on the app so this message will be
late defense lawyer. That's what's justice is working when the
jury thinks the verdict is guilty but cannot make it
stick because of the legal jargon. Come on, no, that
is justice. The justice system requires a group, in this case,
eleven of your peers. That part's debatable to weigh up
(01:24):
what was presented to them. It's not about being innocent,
It's about what did I receive in front of me?
And beyond reasonable doubt, can I get across the line
in my conclusion. So yes, they came back and said
a number of the jury didn't believe she had hung herself.
But they also said we don't see the evidence to
(01:47):
get across the line on guilty. So you then go
back to the prosecutor's office and go what was it?
And I thought the comment from the prosecutor was interesting
that she said the evidence was there to be pieced together. Well,
if it was there to be pieced together, why didn't
you piece it together in a way to convince eleven
other New Zealanders that what you were saying was correct
and she couldn't do it? And that is justice.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's like I always say, unless you're in the court
there every day, listening and tell all the testimony and
looking at all the evidence, you just need to be
careful about what your opinions are about these things. So
we wrap, right, do you love working from home?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Has the government got bad news for years now?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
A couple of things interested me with the government back
to work edict yesterday. One we need a back to
work edict and the fact we didn't have one till now.
And two, not surprisingly sadly, the admission no one knows
what the hell's going on, Who is where, what percentage
of time people aren't there, are there when they are,
or aren't compared with any other piece of the public service.
What are mickey mouse shambles. The Australians have crunched the
(02:50):
numbers the savings that told you this the other day.
The savings for individuals in terms of money not spent
commuting is in the tens of billions of dollars per
year per state. They of course have had return to
work notices for a while now, although I know New
South Wales only did their public workers a couple of
weeks back. Saving money by not dealing with traffic is
probably an upside to working at home right, And I've
(03:12):
always thought that this business of teamwork and camaraderie is
a bit overstated, and if not overstated, certainly hard to prove.
You can prove what you save not going to work,
a bit harder to show what outworkings have been achieved
by all hanging around the kitchen together. The other odd
thing has been my naivety. I honestly thought we had
it sorted ages ago. I assume I assumed we had
(03:35):
a policy in place Obviously Wellington's a mess. But working
from home is only part of the equation. I mean
the clowns who run the city are more responsible, surely,
with their determination to destroy any signs of livability. And also,
don't forget, for every coffee that isn't brought in Lampton Key,
this one being purchased in places like Eastbourne. Anyway, the
skything's over another of these lenient take the mickey out
(03:56):
of the COVID year's ideas has been brought to an end,
or will be shortly. But you've got to wonder about
the government, don't you. All the privates had this sorted
ages ago, But good old dumpty doo Wellington, no policy,
no decisions. Everyone ones at home for a good long weekend,
all pretending it's business as usual. Well, the jig is
up and on balance, as hard as a park might
be defined or a bus to catch. I think we
(04:17):
are better off in general at work than at home
pretending it's normal.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The mixture is the perfect sweet spot, isn't it for
most people who can? You know? I certainly try and
do as much of my work from home as possible,
But there's that whole running a radio show thing that
seems to for some reason, I have to be here.
Actually we'll come back to that shortly. In the meantime,
(04:45):
wherever the Green Party are working, whether it's in Parliament,
whether it's in council, wherever it is, they're not really working,
or it's not really working anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Because I listened to Ricardo Mendi's much lectures on poverty
being a choice, yesterday's level of naivety and fiscal ineptitude
reminded me yet again how dangerous these Greens are. He
makes two potentially disastrous assumptions. Of course, one the figure
of three billionaires correct, and two, if you write a check,
poverty will be solved. The chances are neither are true.
Having also been part of to some degree, the government
(05:16):
of the past six years that's taken an economic hammer
to the place, you might have hoped even he would
have seen just simply spraying money about the place doesn't work,
and so do the Greens Men. There's March aside. What
about Chloe? Have you ever seen a more indecisive leader?
Darlene Tanner became an issue months back, months and months
and months back, and yet look what Chloe's done about it.
(05:38):
Nothing goalers, of course, Julian Genta, I mean she now
appears to be but a minor issue of barely any
relevance at all. And Tory, who may or may not
have sold her car, or may or may not have
had trouble balancing her books at one hundred ninety thousand
dollars a year, most certainly has applied the green philosophy
of finance to the capital by basically wrecking it and
at the same time racking up debt the likes of
which few have ever seen. My great hope out of
(06:01):
all of this is slowly, but surely we as voters
and participants, learn our own lesson, and that is to
stop and think about what it is we want, stop
and think about our participation in the system, to not
only participate, but also to participate knowledgeably. Now, if you
think Chloe and Tory and Darlene are your kind of people,
(06:22):
and Ricardo's a nobel economists, then that is, of course,
sadly you're right. But the evidence is stacked up all
over the place these days, from councils to central governments,
from current account deficits to credit rating downgrades. That having
the wrong people with the wrong ideas in charge of
money is a disaster that's extraordinarily hard to extricate yourself from.
If the Greens wanted more national parks, fine, but they're
(06:44):
social engineering side, as you sert that, and they are
nowadays just straight up and down dangerous. Once it was
smacking and cannabis. Now it's economic carnage. They only get
away with it if we live.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah. Once again, I do worry that the people who
are into voting for the Green Party probably just aren't
listening to any of this, and so none of it
will actually ever have any effect on them. Oh well,
the rewrap. Now back to me working from her home
when I can. I can't do it while the show's
going and especially when the show is going to America.
(07:16):
That's if it's going to America.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And then we come overnight to yet another open letter.
This one is from national security leaders for America, and
there are seven hundred and forty one of them, which
is quite a lot, and including people, I mean obvious ones,
former Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. So
you'd expect them to sign a letter saying that Trump's
no good Chuck Hagel and William Cohen, though Republicans criticize
(07:39):
the form of President's foreign affairs track record alleged involvement
in the Jan six Capital riot. He has shown no
remorse for trying to overturn the twenty twenty election. Jan
six promises to pardon the convicted perpetrators, is made clear
he will not respect the results of the twenty four elections,
should be should he win again. So there's seven hundred
of them, and that was on top of the other
letter the other day. So a lot of letters, a
(08:02):
lot of complacency in the security forces, and so we
count down. It's getting close. Said, do you know, let
me just quickly tell you this where we're going to
cover this thing. Maybe I'm increasingly in two minds about it,
but anyway, they still don't know where and still have
not announced where the headquarters are for the two candidates.
(08:24):
So you ask me, Mike, where are you going? And
the answer is I don't know, and you go, why not?
And I go because they haven't decided yet, and they
are not going to decide until we are told. This
is the State Department. I ring them every day. Their
phone service is hopeless. You're on hold for ages. Anyway,
they're going to make it late this month or possibly
early next month. Amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And you've got some very specific riders about whether you
will or will not go.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I said, if I can touch it, if I can
leave here in land like New York, no problem. If
I leave there in land and have to jump on
a domestic flight, it's over.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
And then the idea of avan was raised, and you
said no to that, anybody.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
We went in a van. We went in a van
from Washington to New York.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And then so somebody who also say that, they mentioned
a train. Yeah, and then it was turning into a
sort of a sequel to trains, planes and automobiles, which
I thought sounded like that would be great content.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's a disaster anyway, we may or may not get
out of the country.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
So don't worry. Wherever it goes, I'll still be here
pushing the batons, because you've got to have somebody turning
things on and turning it off again. You can't do
it from anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Apparently the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Mind you, it's a better job of picking asparagus. Now.
I'm not trying to put down people who pick asparagus.
I used to pick asparagus and it was horrible.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Do not forget about the asparagus. Now here's the headline.
A bit of worry in the asparagus fields at the moment,
because of course there's a lot of green veg out
there at the moment, and that means the prices are
down and the season is just coming underway. We've had
a couple of servings of asparagus early season. Asparagus is
the greatest thing in the world. I didn't think it
was that expensive. They're claiming it's still a little bit
expensive around the country. I didn't think it was, but
(10:05):
I would pay anything for fresh asparagus. But that's that's
underway at the moment, and so not only have you
got asparagus, but you've got a lot of green veg.
So therefore the prices are down. Therefore it's more affordable.
Then it's never been cheaper to be healthier.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So get yep, when it rains and you're picking asparagus
in the rain and you get your asparagus juice all
over you and you're not smelling like an asparagus for
days and days and days, Yes, that's that's PTSD talking there.
You know. Every day I feel like I've had a
hard morning here at the radio station. I always think, well,
(10:39):
at least I'm not picking asparagus in the rain. If
you are, I hope you're enjoying it. I hope you
really like it. And if you're doing anything else, thanks
for listening, and we'll see you back here again tomorrow
for more, not more asparagus, hopefully just more.
