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 there and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
All the best but from the Mic Hosking breakfast on
News Doorks.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
He'd be in a sillier package.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I am Glen Hart today, Mike on Mike, Yes, a
few comments around Mike King, Well.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Mark, the week is Friday.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
That is what we tend to do, the election study.
We're not still looking back at the election.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We've already have.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
We can't do anything about it now and driving the
Trump track.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
But for any of that driving the ferry into the ground.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Read the fairy, absolutely right, Mike. Irrespective of whether the
issue was a lack of training or a new system
or simply an aptitude, it was clearly nothing to do
with the age of the faery or Nikola willis deafening
silence from the unions. That's what is one of the
many points I was trying to make with Ryan before
six o'clock this morning. This is a national scandal. This
is State Highway one, it is public transport, and they're

(01:13):
employing people who seemingly, according to yesterday literally didn't know
what they were doing. Three of them did not know
what they were doing, and we soon go, oh, well,
that's the end of that. Is it a bit harsh
on the ship masters? Mike? It's the operator's responsibility to
make sure that staff had been trained. Do you honestly
believe it? Do you honestly? I mean yes, technically you're correct,

(01:37):
of course it is. But if you're a master or
anybody in charge of anything and you know you don't know,
surely at some point the word self responsibility comes into play,
does it not.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
It doesn't sound like rocket science, does it. I mean,
I guess it doesn't rocket science. It's not a rocket
propellered thing. It's a fairy.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
But something's gone seriously wrong, hasn't it?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Re Wrap and Mike Kanting sense to grovert himself into
the rocks as well this week?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Isn't he? Or are we making a mountain out of
a Mike?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hell?

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Mike? I think the Mike King incident shows clearly the
difference between the current government and the last. This government
can disagree rightly with the comments of Mike King made
but still support the good work done. The last lot
would cancel if you didn't agree with him. I think
there's something in that. And what I find fast I
think Mike King is too from the lip. And as
I said a couple of weeks ago, when the Order
to General got involved in the funding of this, this

(02:33):
is going to be ongoing. Mark my words. This government
is good. Deucey's going to be on this program for
the next couple of years defending all sorts of weird
And one doesn't mean that Mike King's not doing a
good job or his group's not doing a good job.
Just means that it's got a political edge to it.
But what does fascinate me about this country? I go
back to the ferry this morning, fascinated with the harker.
Couldn't get into the harker enough, some dickhead gorker, and

(02:55):
yet again we fall for it. And then Mike King
says what he says, as though having an opinion somehow
is illegal in this country. Couldn't couldn't fall over enough
with the coverage, and yet we drive a fairy into
the ground with dickheads on the bridge who don't know
what they're doing, and somedenhow that are you? Did we?
But what about Mike King? But what about the Harker.

(03:16):
Let's get back to that.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't yet.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
There comes a point though in opinions are dumb opinions
and telling people that they can numb their.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Mental health issues with alcohol.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I don't think that's a great opinion, and I don't
think there are many people who think that it is.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Other than Mike King.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right, let's mark the week and it always makes everything better,
which is why we leave it till Friday.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
I'm now to make a week little piece of news
and current events that well turns up on the same day.
Unlike Travis Scott. Democracy eight, the freedom to have your
say has been on wide display this week in Queensland six,
change your government long overdue, in Japan five a lesson
and scandal and scuttle dug ory it'll get you in
the end. And in Georgia three democracy and name only
let's see I anyone does anything about it. Wellington seven,

(04:01):
as in the NPC team, brilliant final overtime, high drama.
Good for rugby. Rugby numbers six registrations are up this week.
Good for rugby Twickers seven the old home country and
a chance to topple the palms. Good for Rugby the
harker sex. I know he's a bookhead, but doesn't he
make a not unreasonable point By the time we show

(04:22):
up sing the national anthem twice and then ask for
the harker. It's a lot of indulgence asked for, isn't it?
Auckland seven? Say what you want about it. But of
all the new people who arrived in the country last year,
half of them stayed in Auckland reports? Are they love
the public transport? Anthony Alban easy too, hi Ellen? Can
you stick us in first? What could possibly go wrong?

(04:43):
Jinny Anderson? Three? Look at his trousers? What could possibly
go wrong? Australia and the COVID reports seven? Now obviously
a lot more efficient than us, given we're barely halfway
through ours. But what the assays ours will say in
the end, And sadly for both the trust has gone
and lessons will never be learned. But good to see
some honesty at last. Chogham four. Honestly, what came out

(05:07):
of that? Truly? Tell me what came out of Choggham?
Apart from that really funny photo of the king that
Ginny told me about augtand f C seven two from
two a local RB to sort the pecking order. Good
for sport are the government's new building self certification ideas
this week. Eight in general. Eight Yes, in general, things

(05:29):
do not need to be as complicated as they so
often are. And that is the week copies on the
website and for rural subscribers, by the way, it's available
Mondays and Thursdays, as long as the vand's run.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
In my defense, what happens for Mike Mark puts all
the dings and buzzes on the script, he marks them
would think highlight of the pen and he didn't do
that last thing. It was in the scrapped bracket Dan
closing bracket, but he hadn't marked it with thank highlighter.
So that's why I missed it. I thought I wouldcovered

(06:00):
quite well, really rewrap all right. It seems like most
been having another flip through the selection study thing, which
basically talks about everything that went right and wrong with
the previous election.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Just back to the review of the last election result
that we mentioned on the program this yesterday from the
Political Brains Trust at Victoria University. Just to remind you,
they analyzed our votes, our issues, our voting intentions and
as a result, what sort of mandate they thought the
current government has. Now my point was they overthought the
whole thing, given we only have one vote and it
doesn't specifically buy a lot or guarantee any sort of

(06:32):
outcome or even influence. So it is on that note
I ask you this very simple question this Friday morning.
If and when Labor get back to power, they're going
to need most likely not just the Greens, but the
Marory Party, and it's the Maori Party. That will potentially
lead to a flurry of analysis and a lot of
hard questions. I'm not sure anyone's even thought about yet.
The Marory Party are radicals. When the police raided the

(06:54):
Bungol mob the other day in a potocky Rarii Whitti
called it terrorism driven by a race agenda. How do
the Labor Party live with that? How do they explain it?
How do they justify being in government with that? The
Marray Party, to their credit, I think a long term
as given White to t seems to have a lock
on his seat and that is far more reliable than
the five percent which they will never get. Because they're radicals,

(07:16):
they are single issue zealous. But democracy allows this if
you can find five percent to agree with you, or
in d Deceit where that sort of rhetoric sells, and
I think Whitet has that seat. So when you vote
for Labor or for the Greens, do you think about
a government a grouping that has the Mari radical element
in it? And if you do, what do you think
that will lead to? What do the Mari Party have

(07:36):
the New Zealand first cart the balance of power. You
can't form a government without them. What do you think
their price for that will be? How radical do you
think that will be? When the politics wants at Victoria
University get to analyze that, their heads will explode. What
you thought you were voting for and what you got

(07:57):
will be unrecognizable. And yet in twenty twenty six it's possible,
and in twenty twenty nine might even be likely.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Loo.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
I thought we had a deal that we only talk
about the election and the election year, and that's not
till twenty twenty sex, so we don't have to worry
about it till there. All right, let's stop. You'll give
me nightmares the re wrap. I mean, yes, I know
it's an election.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Year in America.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Obviously, why else would Trump be wearing a Hiver's vest
and driving it dumb track for a Trump truck.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
He got up in the truck. The interesting thing about
the truck, and he told quite an endearing story about
how the truck came about, and he's going to land
and he puts on a vest and he's moderately entertaining.
But getting up in the truck was no mean feat.
And I can tell you for nothing, Biden would never
have been able to do it without a hoist. So
Trump had a couple of big steps to get up.

(08:48):
He missed the door handle, which if it had been
Biden they would have made something of And they didn't
make it of Trump because he completely missed the door
handle and started stumbling. Then when he opened the door,
it didn't open quite as widely as he thought it would,
so it sort of almost smacked him in the head.
Then he realized what was going on, so he had
to climb up into the truck, and to his credit,

(09:10):
given his size and age, he got up there. But
the story he told about that was good fun in
the crowd line. Essentially, Americans want to be entertained. That's
what this is boiled down to. None of this is
about policy or nuance, and subtlely it's just about who's
got the good giggles.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It does seem very one sided the whole.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
You know.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Trump can say literally whatever he wants.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
For example, he will protect women whether or not they
want them to want him to, and they'll be very
little fall out around that, I think, whereas the Dems
can't say a thing without it being used against them,
so I think.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
They should own it.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I think that they should just continue to call all
of the Trump supporters garbage. They should get a bigger
dump truck, put his dump truck in it and along
with a whole lot of pictures of his most high
profile supporters, and just drive them away and dump them.
That's what I do. As far as the Dems, it's
probably just as well. I'm not the Dems, of I
suppose I am the Glen Ben. I'll see you back
here again with another rewrap on my.
