Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. I'd be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
All the best but from the mic asking breakfast on
News Talks, there'd be in a sillier package. I am
Glen Heart and today we will mark the week because
it is Friday, and that is what we do. Arena Williams,
things and christ We've got some recommended viewing for the
sauna and we'll find.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
What's up kilts this week for any of that. Speaking
of the week, good week, good week.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Good week. Once again we find ourselves in the midst
of an excellent economic week. I think excellent of you
wish to see it that way. Of course, one hundred
percent of hotels will be filled as coming Wednesday. Broadly speaking,
you can't get a room. Auckland hasn't been full in years.
Along with the broad based cruise season, we got the
warmer summer travel period. We have a large conference in
a major concert coming. This can only get better when
the Convention Sensor finally opens and Eden Park can actually
(01:17):
open its gates under proper first world rules. So a
record for hotel rooms, a record also this week for
first home buyers. Never have there been more young people
getting into their first home. This is the real celebration.
Despite many people's best efforts to steer money elsewhere, nothing
beach real estate. It's a multi generational obsession in this country.
Nothing will ever shift it. The owner of a home
(01:39):
or a house a place to call home. The ability
to adjust and mold it to your life and aspirations
is not to be underestimated, and people will bleed for
the pleasure. Money's cheap ish, money's readily available. People are
buying good on them. What drives all this for a
few simple economic truths. If you get the basics right,
you can't lose. This country must be a destination. It
(01:59):
must be open, it must be welcoming, hence the importance
of sorting our downtowns out with the homeless and the trouble. Also,
the fundamentals must be right. You get inflation under control,
You earn your way instead of forever borrowing your way.
You set the economic table for the country to be
able to spend and take risk and believe they've got
a chance in the future. There are still plenty to do.
Jobs need to come right, of course, but the ads
(02:20):
are up. The media could play their part and drop
the misery obsession. News can be neutral and positive as
well as negative, and the Funk brigade could try just
try to accept that actually there is a decent shaft
of light at the end of that tunnel. Business confidence
and in the SME sector. This week also a good
one are the tourism numbers yesterday, will look at them
again this morning they're up again. Oh and the all
(02:41):
Blacks one and we'll win again this weekend. If that
stuff moves you needle. In simple terms, this is going places.
I'm bullish on twenty six. This week has been a
good building block.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Is as Mike being a bit lazy because on a Friday,
because normally he's got two pre prepared editorials that he writes,
he does one at the beginning of the show around
ten past six, and then he does another one at
about twenty five past seven. But on Fridays he doesn't
(03:13):
have to do that twenty five past seven one because
that's when we do mark the week, so we wrap.
And it's just concerning me that I feel like he
started doing for the six ten win on a Friday.
It's kind of like Mark the Week, except without the
sound effects. Here's mark the week with the sound effects.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Time now to mark the week, little piece of news
and current events. It's almost as fun as being a
fly on a wall at a wiz streeting plot meeting
are in z Inx seven a pretty good week this Wednesday.
Auckland hotels are going to be one hundred percent full.
Yesterday the visit of arrivals, as we've just talked about,
showed yet another upward movement. Slowly but surely, there is
more and more that is positive to embrace. A laws
six small victories for common sense. This week's farmac changes
(03:51):
those script changes for your pills and potions. The medical
conference changes all sensible, all beneficial for the country and
our bottom line. Sakya stama too.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Necess a united team unret.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How do you win with a majority of that size
and cock it up so fast and says tacularly? Are
the Maori party? Two? How do you cock it up
so fast and so spectacularly? Winston six Hoskins quote my words,
we we and asset sales you see, so you see
how he operates. One year out, the steering has already
begun Firearms six because it wasn't radical. People seemed either
(04:28):
relieved or satisfied when they actually got the news. The
politics though of firearms four, what you thought was coming
and what actually right had a price in the coln
the key had to swallow at least a smallish rat
on that one or a seven as in the Ring.
They expect to double sales this year and double them
next year after doubling them last year. That's a model
to envy, isn't it. Kim seven as in Kardashian as
(04:51):
in Skims one of the biggest capital raisers for apparel
this year market cap now five billion. I mean, laugh
all you wanted that family, but it's an industry. Are
the BBC one?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We are the very best of what I think we
should be as a society.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Game set and match on the argument overbalance and impartiality.
The boot Camp reports six. See the report itself actually
read quite well. Yes, some issues, but yes, some good bits.
Maybe that's why the media didn't cover it all that much.
Maybe it was a bit upbeat for an idea that
got panned from day one by the Zealots and the
idea logues. The all black seven. So far, so good,
Boden shortly, but a Grand Slam has never looked more real.
(05:25):
And that is the week copies on the website and
you get a year's supply by the way of these
free if you lock your mortgage in with SBS for
two years, or you buy eighty nine liters of petrol
from a goal.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think the Grand Slam has looked real when we've
done it. We haven't done it yet in the times
in the parts. When we've done it, that's not pretty
damn real. So this is a weird one.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
David Seymour is on the show this morning complaining about
what Arena Williams got up to in Parliament yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Let's have a listen and you can be the judge.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Here, ladies and gentlemen. By I mean, obviously David Seymour
alluded to it, but he alludes, we deliver here, ladies
and gentlemen. Is Arena Williams of the Labor Party in
the house singing.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
The guaco oadake there fer.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Cash standard car. I don't know she's singing about it.
She could be. So that went on for quite a while,
certainly longer than I predate to play on this program.
It's She's not bad, is she? I mean, technically as
a singer, she's all right. Then she started crying.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Man, I'm speaking.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
You can hear my motion and my voice today when
I stand seven generations from the land tapings of two
Way that that song recalls as the chair of the
Regulations Review Committee that it has for the review of regulation.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's a funny thing, the Regulatory Standards Bill. I've never
seen so much angst over something that the vast majority
all your expect to day, but symore that the vast
majority of New Zealanders don't really understand nor care about.
It's the weirdest things.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I mean, I suppose she's saying it well, I don't know.
It's the most challenging melody that song just it was
quite repetitive. I mean, it's not nesson Dormer, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was all right, it's a rewrap.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm surprised so Mike didn't see that, which came as
a shock to all of us because he's the only
one we ever know who watches Parliament religiously. But maybe
he was in the sauna. Although it sounds like that
shouldn't stop him.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
In the sawna yesterday watching a video and it turns
out to be So I was did we feature the
John Lewis one. I don't think we did the John
Lewis one, the Christmas John Lewis one. This is from Britain.
They began on the Christmas ads just shocking, just like
what was the point? It got like really confusing and
I thought this was silly. Anyway, I stumbled upon the
(08:00):
Waitrose one that is a winner and it's Lord knows
how much they've spent on it. It's about four minutes
long and it stars Kira Knightley in a love actually
type role with another guy whose name I can't remember,
but it doesn't matter. He's famous and as soon as
you see him, you go at him and it's a
(08:23):
it's slightly twee.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So you were in the sauna yesterday with Kira Knightley.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So they say, but anyway, how are you watching that?
What do you mean? How am I watching it? Like
on screen?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So you've got a TV in your sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
A phone in the sauna. What's the matter with you? You
got a screen of phones in the sauna.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
For you're supposed to take your phone in the sauna.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Of course you're supposed to take your phone in the sauner.
That's where I do most of the prep for the
show in the sauna. Thirty two percent of what I'm
featured on the program this morning was done in the
sauna yesterday. It's why it's so hot now.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I can't stop thinking about Mike in the sauna because
you know, yeah, because it's a private sauna. You know,
he's not wearing a towel, right, and now you can't
stop thinking about it, ha hah. Yes, And you know
what they say, a really disturbing mental image shared is a.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
It's twice as worse. I think, twice as bad the rewrap.
He's probably not wearing a kilt either.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Do you want to invest in Scotland. I don't, but
they're going to issue next to you what they call
kilt bonds. They've never done this before, so it's an
international capital raise. They're looking for about three in a
bit billion. They're going to use it for infrastructure. They've
got elections next May. They're devolved, of course, but they
want to run their own program. They're very independent like that.
The old Scottish got a son living in Edinburgh. He's
(09:42):
having the time of his life. But he's certainly not
earning enough to buy a kilt bond yet. But anyway,
as for the rest of it, as for their attitude
of a lot of stuff, I don't know that Scot's
Scotland you go to. But nevertheless, kilt bonds are going
to be issued next to year.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
If it's just really trying to make something work there around,
you know, something's up.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Get kilt.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You had to do with the markets going up or down,
and going up and down. You're kilt, but couldn't quite
make it happen. It's not like the German decks. I
mean that's it's nearly as funny. It's not quite as funny.
I mean, the fact that the German market is dex
and your decks can be up or down. That's the
funniest thing that's ever happened out of Germany, isn't it.
(10:28):
I think, especially given that you know, when they tell
a joke, the punchline us to be at the beginning
of the sentence, because that's how German works. As I understand,
I am a glen Hart. Luckily this is the end
of the podcast and not the beginning of it. We'll
be back with another beginning of it on Monday.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I'll see you then.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
