Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio, rerap.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the rewrap all the best
bits from the night husk and breakfast on news Talks.
It'd be in a sillier package. I am Glenhart and
today we we've got We've got a beef or we
haven't got a beef. There's anyway there's beef wars happening
between US and the US will mark the week it's

(00:47):
Friday than we do? Can we get a hearker in
this house? Some interesting takes on the fallout following that.
The first up, this whole business of companies refusing absolutely
definitely never ever dealing with X ever again until mask

(01:08):
comes one of the US's biggest power broaches. And then
they walk back between their towers and town. Their leads
sounds about the Mickey Musk to me.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Tell you what I'm trying to work out which I
like least At the moment, Elon Musk or Disney. Elon
bought Twitter turned it into X. He paid forty four billion.
They say it's worth about ten billion now. He doesn't care.
It's worth ten billion because a lot of corporates, of course,
bailed because of its ugliness. He argues, it's free speech,
but it's free speech at the lowest level, so it's ugly.
He still defends it. It makes life for a libertarian

(01:37):
like me difficult because I like the idea of truly
free speech, and as a result of that belief, I
have nothing to do with X, of course, because I
have standards. But it's also apparent that as good as
a concept may be that free speech is good to have,
when left to its own devices, it is indeed an
ugly place, and vulnerable people get hurt. So that's Elon.
Disney were one of those who bailed because they didn't

(01:58):
like what they see. But the Financial Times suggests that
they are heading back to X now that Trump has
won and Trump likes Elon, and Elon might be spending
a lot of time at the White House. So Disney
once in on the action and the influence. Now, if
that's true, and it's not just Disney, of course, it
whld bunch of corporates that makes them hypocrites, and hypocrites
of the worst sort, high and mighty, but only when

(02:18):
it suits. Full of principle. As long as they end
up on the right side, whatever the current right side
happens to be, they are fair weather, flipping and flopping
with the times they when hopelessly woke, of course, in
their movies, until Bob Ayger came back and said, the
reason I'm back is because you're losing money, And you're
losing money because you woke. Having principles. Once upon a time,
of course, was quite the thing. It was expected, it
was common until it wasn't. These days, corporates too often

(02:41):
don't know who they are, so they end up moral blamange.
We saw it here during COVID furious. They were furious
at the government and private pussycats in public. You would
hope there's a lesson there somewhere that they might want
to learn and do something about. Elon is at least
reasonably consistent. You don't have to like it, but he
is true to his word, and it's cost him thirty
five billion an ex But then he found Donald and

(03:01):
the balance has been more than rectified. Of course, so
what does he care, which I guess ultimately means it's Disney.
I liked Diny less than I like Elon and that's
saying something.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Until Elon owns Star Wars, I'm still going to like
Disney better. Weka. I've go a bit more on social
media later on Rewrap In the meantime, other ramifications of
a Trump presidency presidency presidency as this whole tariff situation,

(03:33):
how hard or easy is it going to be to
deal with the US? And you know, where is the beef?
Is there a beef?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
John King, who you know, I'm a fan of CNN
political operator. Anyway, before the election, he went round America,
talked to a whole lot of people, got a vibe
for what was going on as far as voting was concerned.
He's now done a piece and he's gone back and
he talked to some of the people who voted for
Trump and why they voted for Trump. Many of them
were people who may or may not have been voting
for Trump. Used to vote the Democrats, now vote Republican, etc.

(04:02):
Listen to this woman as a woman called Shannon Ebersol,
She's a n Iowa farmer, and she references us, why
are we.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Bringing Argentinian beef in?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Why are we bringing New Zealand and Australian beef in?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And then exporting some of.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Our beef, why don't we first just feed our beef
to our Americans. Now, it's a very good point she makes.
I mean, it's not a good point, it's an ignorant point.
But that's how many Americans think. So the answer to
a question is our beef is vastly superior to theirs,
and a lot of people like quality. But when you've
got a person like Sharon, and there are millions of them,

(04:38):
how do you get past that? If you're trying to
sprink your product in that part of the world.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Did you see how quickly Shannan became Sharon once she
started complaining about beef. She quickly went from Miss Shannon
to Sharon there. I don't even think Mike noticed that
he'd renamed her to be honest rewrap, But yeah, people
have got some interesting ideas about beef. As it turns out.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Mike incorrect about our beef being superior to US beef.
US consumers unanimously prefer, Well that's simply not true. That
word is they don'tmously prefer, because if they did, we
wouldn't export any beef to America. Unanimously prefer their grain
fed beef and consider our grass fed product inferior. Well,
they're wrong, of course. Beef trade to the US is

(05:20):
so lucrative. Have we got favorable quota access and they
use their lean beef for grinding into hamburger patties. Just
let me give you a quick lesson on the grass
b grain and the reason we're so successful internationally because
of health benefits. The health benefits of grass is typically leaner,
better for your heart. Grass feed is higher and essential
nutrients that's tied to improve dimmunity and anti inflam benefits

(05:44):
as well more antioxidants. They can lower the risk of
diseases like heart disease and certain types of cancer. There
are more Omega three fatty acids, not as many as salmon,
but nevertheless more than grain. And grass fed beef is
about two to three dollars more expensive per pound because
it's a premium product. So by the time you get
the beef and the lamb and the wine into that
particular part of the world, And that's why it was disgusting.

(06:05):
I can't remember who it was with, but I suggested,
is it at least in part possible it was the
main front guy. Is at least in part possible that
some of our stuff, even with tariffs, are going to
go into America, and by the time they end up
on Fifth Avenue, there's enough people with enough money in
that particular part of the world that if you have
to pay an extra dollar for a bottle of wine

(06:26):
or an extra dollar for a pound of beef, they're
happy to do it because they've got the money and
its top quality, and people will always buy top quality.
Quality beats quantity every day of the week.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Everything I know about American beef I learned from Yellowstone.
I don't know if you've watched it. It's a great
TV show and it's kind of about ultimately, it's about
the downfall of the American cowboy, the modern American cowboy,
and that's got to do with beef because they run

(06:57):
beef cattle on the Yellowstone Ranch and at the moment
they get to move a bunch of them down to
Texas for complicated reasons that we don't need to get into.
But yeah, just in the episode I was watching the
other day, one of the cowboys was explaining to his wife,

(07:20):
he reckoned it's going to be one of the last
the last cowboys because beef America made beef is not
going to be a thing in a few years time.
It's very touching the re wrap. Shall we make the week? Yeah,
I think we should. I've just lessed just oh yes, no,
it is Friday time too.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Write time to make the week. Little piece of news
and current events that the Ethics Committee are dead locked
on releasing in New Zealand six. Well with the bad
news to get another playing grounded came the good news.
They are looking to reconnect us to London. No bad thing,
end z one. Bring it back basketball seven, most popular
score sport in the country. Who doesn't love a pickup
and a layup? The Gang Laws seven because they represented

(08:03):
turning at the tireder, restoration of some common sense and
some realization of just how shabby this place has become.
World War three three, let's keep our powder dry? Shall
we are missile? As? Not an escalation make You might
remember we're still waiting for Iran to respond in the
other war, and that was ages ago. One thousand days two.
This will end in a salemate. Russia are hopeless at fighting,

(08:25):
the US is out of patients. Europe can't afford it.
There will not be another one thousand days. Sweden Finland
and Norway four Is sending up pamphlets really a good
way to prepare for war? I mean, really G twenty
four Biden was there, which was pointless. Trump wasn't there,
Nothing happened. It reflects a planet in a malays And
that's before we get to COP twenty nine one. Even
the Zealots have gone quiet on that. Even fewer people

(08:48):
of import turned up and even less was done. Glastow
eight sold out in thirty five minutes, seven hundred bucks.
And you've got no idea. Who's on stage our economy
six see two bits of news A and Z who
said the pickup will be better than they thought, although
that's not until the year after next and in for
metrics essay. Right now it's all backwards our Bandai four.

(09:08):
It's Christmas four decades on a good idea embraced in
a better age is now an insult to Africa? Apparently
Taylor Swift three, with an education system like ours in
the state, it's and is it really wise to spook
as they did this week a Taylor Swift course? Is
that really your calling card? Dairy nine hit that's a record.

(09:31):
What a year and what a time to have a
year North and South Magazine, four Media ain't Deiry clearly
the All Black seven. It'll be a solid win this
weekend and a twur that I think overall you would
be churlish not to call a success. And that's the
week copies on the website and a new favorite of
Chris Martin, as it turns out, after after Matt Heath
smuggled a copy into his back pocket when they were

(09:52):
having a little cuddle backstage last weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
It just occurred to me today when we were talking
about Matt Heath and this cold plate experience, that we
really only got his We we're taking his word for
it that any of it happened because he wasn't allowed
to take pictures. Suspicious the rerats we're going to finish
up here, going back to the hecoy Harker in the House.

(10:19):
Harker in the House. It sounds like a It's a
kind of New Zealand dance track, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Marie News Organization has been leaked to the letter the
Privileg's letter from Todd Stevenson, the ACTMP. A number of
people wrote to the Privileges Committee that's going to be
one to watch in the next couple of days. So
what happens is they write to the Speaker and they
go blah blah blah. Here's the problem. Speaking gives the
people named in the letter an opportunity to reply, at
which point he makes a decision as to whether he
sends it off to the Privileges Committee. He will, and

(10:49):
this is the Harker that I'm talking about. Once it
gets in front of the Privileges Committee, that's where the
real pressure will need to be applied. Because what happened,
as we've discussed on the program this week, what happened
to the House was a disgrace and it was an
embarrassment and it needs to never happen again. The big question,
this is what Shane Jones was on the program about,
is do we need to were just standing orders to

(11:10):
do something more? I mean, the Privilege's Committee can literally
put you in jail. That's how powerful the Privileges Committee are.
They never will them have, of course, but they can.
And so something substantive needs to be done to send
a message to those people who without question breached the
privilege of the House and so that they never do

(11:32):
it again. Now, the interesting thing here is that all
the people who participated. I mean, obviously the three Mari
MP's were the stars of the show. I use that
phrase loosely, but the people named who actually participated and
supported are as follow. Steve Abel he's a Green MP,
Ginny Anderson, Carmela Belich, Glenn Binnock, Reuben Davidson. No, I

(11:53):
know you haven't heard of art these people because the
Labor Party, and they're asleep at the wheal half the time.
Julianne Jenter, Ingrid Leary, Ricardo Mendez, Tracy McClellan, Talmouth and
Paul landfam Deborah Russell, Carmel Sepaloney, Chloe Swarbrick, and so
it goes. You'll note how many laybor INPs were involved
to Helen White, Arena Williams, Scott Willis. They're all as

(12:14):
culpable as the Maori Party members. So it's going to
be fascinating to see whether the Privilegus Committee got a backbone.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Now, the interesting thing about having kids who are a
lot lot younger than I am, so in their early
twenties is how they see the world as opposed to
how I see the world, and how I see the
world as inevitably colored by working here at Newstorks MB,

(12:46):
And I was at the dinner table last night and
I had it explained to me how awesome that Harker was,
how great that we live in a country where something
like that can happen, should be encouraged to happen more often,
and what a fantastic add for race relations it was
to other countries around the world. These are all things

(13:07):
that it does not occurred to me at all. And
and my wife and I looked at each other and
I could I could, I could hear my wife's unspoken thoughts,
but we didn't communicate any of This didn't betray our
inner thoughts to the daughter who was espousing these opinions,

(13:29):
but the thoughts I think, I'm pretty sure she was
thinking what I was thinking, and that was you should
never ever, never, never, never ever, never ever ever ever
have children. I am Glenn Heart, father of two. I'll
see you back here again with perhaps more of those
thoughts on Monday.
