Scott Robertson can no longer be accused of being timid with his All Blacks team selections. Ten changes were made to the starting XV for Saturday's third and final test against France in Hamilton. Ethan de Groot, Fabian Holland, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea and Rieko Ioane are the only players remaining from the last run-on side. Newstalk ZB's voice of rugby Elliott Smith told Heather du Plessis-Allan that opportunities to test out different players and different combinations don't come along too often. He says the All Blacks still want to win the final test, but Robertson has to take these opportunities to find out a little bit more about the likes of Damian McKenzie on 10, Samipeni Finau on blindside flank, among others. “You just won't get them too often, and it certainly won't come in the rugby championship.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New data shows that house prices have dropped for the fourth consecutive month in June. The Real Estate Institute of NZ shows that across the entire country, the HPI declined by 0.8 percent in June compared to May. Property commentator Ashley Church says the cause of this downturn goes all the way back to 2021, when Covid impacted interest rates. "The Reserve Bank, as a result of that, recognized what it had done, reversed course and increased the OCR, which had the effect of increasing mortgage interest rates over the following two years. So the result of that is basically what we're dealing with." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there are reports in the media about divisions among President Trump's supporters over topics such as policy toward Iran, amnesty for farmers (which did not occur), a Jeffrey Epstein list, and aid to Ukraine. Commentators and influencers exaggerate controversies for attention, views, or subscriptions, including unsubstantiated assertions about an Epstein list, involvement of Mossad, or the nature of Epstein's death, officially ruled a suicide by two Attorneys General. They are opportunistic, lacking character, and ignoring broader threats like actions by China, Russia, North Korea, domestic unrest, and antisemitism.  Those of us who support President Trump are not going to abandon him on his mission to save this country and his policies. Also, there's a battle for America's future taking place right now in New York City and Los Angeles. Democrats in LA are demonizing ICE agents, promoting sanctuary cities as a new confederacy defying federal immigration law, and pursuing open borders to flood the U.S. with illegal immigrants, ignoring crimes, human trafficking, and the disappearance of women and unaccompanied minors. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass a new Confederate for leading a sanctuary city that nullifies federal immigration laws. Federal ICE agents raided a marijuana farm, where agents, armed with a warrant based on probable cause of crimes, discovered 10 children engaged in illegal labor.  Democrats, including Bass, are now defending criminal child labor violations. In NYC, they might install a Marxist Islamist as mayor to dismantle capitalism. If Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa stay in the race – Mamdani wins. Learn more about your ad choices.
