HNOW: Ryan Bridge TODAY 11th November 2026

"In New Zealand, we have the luxury of taking peace for granted," Ryan Bridge says during his Armistice Day reflection on the NZ Herald's morning broadcast.

Marking the anniversary of the end of First World War fighting, Bridge recounts how New Zealanders received the news in 1918 and reflects on the war's human cost. The segment begins shortly after eight minutes, following the opening news and sport bulletins.

It offers a pause before the programme returns to the practicalities of forming a government. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick and ACT leader David Seymour join Bridge to discuss post-election negotiations, new MPs arriving at Parliament and voter access laws. Seymour says he has met Christopher Luxon, specifying which Chris he means.

The November 11 edition of Ryan Bridge Today drew about 16,000 views since yesterday. For readers looking specifically for the remembrance segment, Bridge's Armistice Day monologue starts at 08:16.
