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/
