Show Notes

Jeremy Rose is a Wellington journalist and broadcaster and one of the founders of Alternative Jewish Voices joins us this evening to talk about the exit polls in Israel and what the early indications are for Israel's next governmentQiulae Wong has all but ruled out working with NZ First and in a mature and balanced response Winston Peters has labelled Opportunity "pinko communists" because nothing says you have a grip on reality and a statesmanlike aura than screaming at the news guys in town who threaten your position.Simeon Brown has demanded Labour coalition costs but when challenged he refuses to explain National's saying it's different. He also had a moment today when reporters asked about the next Finance Minister should National get back in sans Nicola Willis. To Seymour or not to Seymour...that is the question++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/

Paul Barlow joins us tonight to talk about healthcare staffing shortages - do the right know how bad it is?Chris Hipkins nailed it on Mike Hosking this morning correcting Hosking's right-wing narrative that Labour is fully responsible for the actions of TPM and the Greens, where National has no responsibility for what Seymour and Peters do or sayWe have a wild story tonight to show you the dangers of AI. A NZ lawyer, who used to be in the NZ Police and now practices using his perspective as someone 'on the other side' to help clients. It looks like this lawyer also has a YouTube channel helping explain your rights in things like what you should do when you are pulled over. The YouTube channel also talks about his background as a police officer which gives the content an air of credibility...the problem is, the YouTube channel, which used his name and his likeness...has nothing to do with the NZ lawyer, it's completely AI and someone else is behind it.We're also going to try to give you some stories tonight that you need to hear, like Abdul El-Sayed destruction of a racist question he only received for being Muslim and Jamiee West, the Indiana Democrat who is exactly the politician we need right now++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/
