Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from News Talks. A'd be Jack.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I cannot imagine that King Charles wants to meet with
Donald Trump. Necessarily, he just has to do what his
government tells him to do, says Mike. Wow, he doesn't
have to, does he. But yeah, yeah, it's a fair
point mine. I guess the question is whether or not
the UK should be inviting Donald Trump for an unprecedented
second state visit if one of its closest friends in
(00:34):
the Commonwealth is subject to US tariff's Jack's is another mic.
We can all boycott US products we are in our house.
That's a big step. Mike, ninety ninety two is the
text number if you want to get in touch or
get to worry. Text in a couple of minutes, heaps.
The messages coming in right now. Tho, it's time to
catch up with Kevin Milne, who's with us this morning.
And Kevin, after that Hurricans performance last night, you're probably
(00:54):
feeling relatively buoyant.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I think, yeah, yeah, and the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh yeah, I mean I was gonna say, you know,
like yeah, I mean, you know, the Trump Praysdency by
design is kind of volatile, you never know what's coming next.
Just a classic vintage Warriors performance last night, right anyway,
you know, to back up last week, to back up
Vegas with a dominant performance like they did, kind of
speaks to why we love it.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That was a superb opening piece of yours, I thought, Jack,
a forceful, coordinated response. Exactly you eded on the nail
on the edge.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure necessarily that it will come about,
because lots of countries don't want to put their head
above the parapet. But we'll see, I suppose, And yeah'd
be very interesting to see how Winston Peter's meetings in Washington,
d C. Go this week. But Kevin, you have you
found a new way to feel old this week?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well yeah, well let me go back just the step
because I want to wish you a happy birthday earlier
in the week.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Thank you. I think I'm officially in the in the
older half of New Zealand men now, so I'm definitelysconced.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, yeah, it's my birthday next week, Jack, at which
point i'll be actly twice your age.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
A very good, well, happy birthday, Keven, Yeah yeah, yeah,
so you'll you'll be thirty eight? Will you is that?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah? But I've found a new way to make myself
feel really old. I've discovered at our local mall Coastlands
a coin flip bitcoin EIGHTM. I see there app now
at one hundred and twenty four sites throughout the country.
If you come across one of these, jack the coin
(02:36):
flip bitcoin EIGHTM.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah I have. I can honestly say that I haven't
used it.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
No. No. I looked at this bitcoin ATM and I
thought that's interesting. Can I insert the card I use
it at standard ATM machine and get out some bitcoin?
But no, of course that doesn't work. So I went
to their coin flip website where it's explained what a
bitcoin ATM is. A Bitcoin EIGHTM is a KIOSK that
(03:05):
allows us to purchase and sell digital assets known as cryptocurrencies.
I'm not sure I understand what a digital asset is.
But anyway, if I can't use some bank card, what
do I need if I want to get a bit
of bitcoin? The website had the answer, what do you
(03:26):
need to make a transaction? Is a smartphone? Had one
of those? A crypto wallet and cash a crypto wallet.
If I wasn't sure what digital assets were I certainly
don't know what a crypto wallet is. That the answer
was on the website. The crypto wallet is the coin
(03:46):
flip non custodial hot wallet, available for both iOS and Android,
making using coin flip services even easier, Well, not easier
enough for me, mister coinflip Jack. You know how ATM
machines are left you carry out transactions and various languages. Yeah,
(04:10):
I wonder if the coin flip Bitcoin eighty ms might
introduce a techno translation service that's for the older folk.
Now make me feel younger, Jack, Would you have known
what a coin flip non custodial hot while it was.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know that I would have. I think I
would have had to google that as well. Kevin, I
certainly you know I understand what a digital wallet is,
so I get that right. But yeah, I think I
think the thing that will show my naivete on this front,
not being someone who has invested in cryptocurrencies, is that
I wouldn't know whether you use one of those at
(04:48):
ms to buy cryptocurrency or to transfer cryptocurrency into other
legal tender. Oh yeah, so I would have if I
turned up, I wouldn't know if i'd be withdrawing cash
like regular legal tender that we use physical cash, or
by buying cryptocurrencies. I wouldn't know. Maybe you can do both.
(05:10):
I don't think you.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Might be able. I think you might be able to Jack.
I read a bit about it, Yeah, but it got
to the point where I just thought, like half of this,
I don't even know what they're talking about. Yeah, so
you know, and and I mean it may turn out
that they become extremely popular. I'm not saying that they're
not a good thing. I just they're just for people
of my my generation getting involved in coin flip. Non
(05:36):
custodial wallets is highly unlikely.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It does sound like slightly dangerous territory. I would think
as well. I'm not looking at down your capacity in
any way, shape or form, but yes, I think you
want to be very careful before you throw too much
money at there. So what's the plan for your birthday, Kevin?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I don't really have one at the stage.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's a couple of couple of I think on.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
The day one, I think on the day on babysitting
all day.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Ah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So I mean that's that's that's say, a pleasure and
an honor. That's fine by me.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, very good. I we'll enjoy it. We'll be thinking
of you and yeah, yeah, make sure you celebrate in
good form and enjoy a few treats in time with
the fan and Kevin will catch you. So that is
Kevin Milmer with us this morning. Thank you for your
for your texts and emails. Jack. Isn't it time that
someone punched the bully right on the nose? Is Paul?
I don't know. I just look. I think it makes
(06:31):
total sense for lots of countries like New Zealand just
to just to keep the heads below the power of it,
play a low target strategy for now, and even if
there is a more coordinated international response, it doesn't need
to necessarily be aggressive. I just think we need to
see lots of smaller countries, less powerful economies coming together
to actually push back and to and to work together
(06:52):
in each other's interests. Jack, the Canada situation is as
much to do with an election in Canada as it
is to do with Donald Trump. You started by saying
that everything's changing. However, in politics, nothing changes. Opportunism always
trumps everything. Pardon the pun, says Grant. Yeah, that's true.
Grant very well said, although you would have to say
that one of the ironies of this situation is that,
(07:16):
you know, even with the previous Canadian Prime Minister, Donald
Trump's dislike of Justin Trudeau has ended up benefiting Trudeau's party.
Just a couple of months ago, they were twenty five
points behind the opposition. Now they're more or less neck
and neck.
