Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from Newstalk said b. Follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the Rewrap for Monday, all the
best bets from the mic hosting breakfast on Newstalk s dB.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
In a sillier package. I am ben Hart.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I am responsible for the packaging and this social media
band that they put in place for Australia for under
Sixteen's hard to see how that's gonna work. The prison
population here at New Record, New Record Ding Ding Ding
is this course for celebration. Producer Sam is off to
(00:57):
jury duty. But before any of that. So, last week's
election of one Donald J. Trump seems to have Speaking
of social media actually seems to have melted down, especially
from the left edge of it.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I'm trying to work out what the weirder of the
reactions to the Trump winners, the sheer meltdown of the
losing side, or at least some of their flaky members. Anyway,
social media is an absolute cesspool at the moment of
teary nut jobs unable to handle life. I mean, we
all lose, we all back the wrong side. In sport,
in politics, sometimes in life, but most of us put
(01:34):
perspective on it and get on with it basically, Or
if it isn't that reaction, what about the endless obsession
driven unfortunately by the media who were asking the same
series of dumb questions they did last time around, made
even more dumb this time around, because we have allready
been here. A Trump presidency is not unprecedented. It's not
new territory. And the advantage of being here again is
(01:58):
we should have learned the answer the first time. J
Powell fed Chair Friday, what will you do if Trump
tries to sack you? Been there? Asked at last time,
got the answer last time. He can't do it. The
law doesn't allow it. For all the questions around what
a Trump presidency means, have a look at the years
twenty sixteen through twenty twenty and the answers are there, tariffs, China, Russia,
(02:23):
the Middle East, the Wall, the border, the illegals. We've
been here before. Trump last time was shambalck, a lot
of sackings, a lot of comings and goings. Most likely
it'll be the same again, he continued to say, a
lot of random stuff that will be the same this time.
The media took it all literally, so exasperated his perceived
weirdness among those who didn't like him, hence their confusion
(02:44):
when he came back and won again. Sadly, the media
is not changed in the assuing period. By and large,
they hate them. By and large they take them literally.
By and large, they want to make them out to
be more oguerresque than he actually is, or indeed ever was.
He didn't build a wall that Mexico paid for. He
won't this time. He will do a portion of what
he said he would do. He will broadly be good
(03:05):
for the economy, not so good for the rest of
the world, or may not build a base for varnce
and code to carry on in twenty twenty eight. He
will be omnipresent. He will serve us four years and
the world will not stop turning. We have been here.
You might not like it. If you don't, that's a
sign you didn't like it last time. He will not
be great. He will not be a disaster. Stop asking
(03:26):
dumb questions.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It is a strange one, isn't it That people take
to social media especially and I guess you know, if
you've got enough profile to various interviews and publications.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
And it is where that they think that by venting.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Like they are, that's going to change anything, that somebody's
going to see that post explaining you know, just what
a terrible job so and so did it in such
and such a place, with such and such a thing.
Because of course it's only the people who already think
that they are likely to see that post anyway, And
so you're not changing anybody's mind.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
They are the wars. Eh, let it begin, We'll let
it continue. Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And of course, yeah, there's the classic story of this
mass exodus of left leaning US citizens.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I wonder where they're all going to go.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
This meltdown was seeing in America. Can pull your pants up?
Well you, for God's sake, grow up, you lot. Everyone
who's melting down at the moment. It's just an election.
Google trends, plenty of Google to everyone's going, what's going
to happen to the war, Oh what's going to happen
to the tariffs? Oh what's going to happen to the Mexicans? Anyway?
Google trends, same old boring story. Everyone's leaving the country.
Everyone who said they're leaving the country, good, go get out,
(04:45):
bugger off. Let them get on with it. Canada is
the number one place they're wanting to go to. They'll
regret that if you're following Canada at the moment, the
place is a mess, followed by the UK, Japan, Australia, Italy, Ireland.
I note, unfortunately this is Americans looking to get out.
I note unfortunately we're not in there, which says something
about our current reputation globally as well. I can get
(05:05):
you down to Ireland, Spain, France, Sweden, German, the Netherlands,
Costa Rica, even Mexico, South Korea at number twenty one,
still know where to be found on the list. But
presumably that all comes to pass, which it won't. There's
a flood of Americans on their way up.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It would be nice to see some because I mean,
it doesn't matter if you're just Joe Blow who can't
stand the thought of another four years under Trump and
you leave, who cares? It would be nice if one
of these high profile lovees, your Taylor Swift's, your Oprah Winfree's,
your George clooneyes. If they said, you know Opra goes,
(05:43):
I actually I'm moving my whole operation to you know,
the Galapagos or whatever. I don't nowhere because I just
can't live in this country anymore, you know, if forbid
of that started happening. But oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's just a bit difficult, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Rewrap anyway, I guess if you're in Australia and you're
not quite sixteen yet, you don't even know who won
the election.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Probably now that social media has been banned.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Tell you what, I've got very limited time for the
behavior and modus operandi of your overridg social media company.
But on Australia they are right now. Australia if you
missed it over the weekend, have now moved to ban
sixteen or unders from social media. Social media says, be
careful what you wish for. Obviously it isn't going to work.
It can't work. It's the sort of left leaning thought bubble,
(06:31):
good intention nonsense we got rid of here last year
at the elections. But the Australians, the second Scott Morrison
decided old elbow and his interventionists would be the answer, until,
of course, as the poll show and this new one
this morning, by the way, they've worked out they weren't.
And instead of the election next year being the obligatory
second term for Labour, as history tends to show, you
have not only a contest but a real chance that
(06:51):
elbow will be a one turner. While we wait for
all of that to unfold, they earnestly are pretending by
passing a law that they can tackle one of the
modern world's great social emergencies, and that is part of
the drive for the debate. I mean, we all agree
social media's trouble, not all of it, but the artworking
star so often a detrimental to young people especially. It's
an insidious mess that's become so out of control. Maybe
(07:14):
because the social media players have become so big, so powerful,
so cross boordy you can't stop it. Hence the futility
of the Australian moves. I mean, do we all wish
it would work?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Of course, there's a bit of freedom of speech I
suppose about it. I mean, as a ban an outright
band good, No, are they're fifteen year olds that use
the net sensibly?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Of course?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Are we acting and freaking out over a minority in
their troubles? Yes? Is that healthy?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But that is what left lenas do They tell you
how to live your life. But what makes this worse
is that they're trying to tell you how to live
your life while being completely ineffective with their answer. Do
it properly or don't do it at all. It's a
simple premise so often ignored getting plaudits for thought bubbles.
Isn't hard. Fixing the unfixable and something that hasn't been
(07:57):
fixed anywhere is virtue signaling nonsense?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, I mean anything like that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Both the end user and the provider of the technology
just say okay, challenge accepted.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Ah, look we've got around stupid rules that you can't enforce.
Then what a wasted time, money and resources. The re
rep right so an interesting figure.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It seems like we've crushed a numerical threshold with the
number of prisoners in the country.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Array number of people in prison ten thousands crack ten
thousand for the first time in four years. Something we
should celebrate. I mean, we shouldn't celebrate it. We don't
want people in prison because we don't want people breaking
the law, but accepting that people do break the law,
what we don't want is what we had in the
previous government where they let them all out. Recent increase
in prisoners reflect some more conservative approach. Is that what
(08:51):
they're calling it does? It got to the lowest point
of seven and a half thousand. See, this is where
they were think about this. So you've got ten thousand
people as of this morning in prison. Right when Andrew
Little and co. Were in charge, he had seven and
a half thousand. That's two and a half thousand people.
Where were they They're wandering around your place. Two and
a half thousand people out in the community. Whether they
(09:13):
wearing an ankle bracelet or not, didn't really matter. But
when you've got that many people out in the community,
what are your reckons going to happen? To the crime rate?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yep, seems like a good plan as long as we
can keep them all there forever and never let them
out ever. So, just mandatory actual life sentences for anybody
who's ever found guilty of a crime, and I think
you'll find that the.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Recidivism rate will really go down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm sure there's no problem with putting more and more
and more and more and more people and the way
in jail, just like they've discovered in the States with
their present cities.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
There so re wrap.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now it could be that producer Sam as one of
the people responsible for putting somebody else in prison this week.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Our own Sami is in court today. We tried to
keep it out of the news, but I think it's
good on public And so he's been called up for
jury duty and so he's going down there today to
see if he can get selected. And he's put on
his very best I mean it's Gabardine, isn't it, Glynn,
his very best Gabadeene suit ebd see sucker, Yeah, it's
(10:22):
well you sir. His mum has made him some sandwiches
just in case it takes a little bit of time.
So he's got as nice as see in the socks.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I know, if ever you want to draw attention to yourself,
don't wear socks like that. But he's got some nice
draw attention to myself socks and he's got a sandwiches
from his mum, and he's got his Gaberdine suit from
his made to measure Malaysian suit at nineteen dollars ninety
seven cents when he got on holiday and he's off
to join the circus the day at jury duty.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We allowed to identify people who are going to be
on juries. Don't know what the rules are around that,
but late now I suppose, and you'll definitely know Sam
once you get a look at the socks. I don't
know if anybody's ever been challenged because of their socks,
(11:11):
but I think Sam should be.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Because they are. I mean, I like a crazy sock.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But let me just say the words television television test
pattern and we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I am Glenn hat That was the rewrap, and we'll
do it again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I don't know if Sam will be here on the show,
because he might be trying to decide whether somebody's guilty
or innocent.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That I'll be here and see the end.
