Will you help me out? 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: Chris Hopkins hit the Political Year road show yesterday with 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: a bit of a g up to the caucus and 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: a message to the voters. He basically bagged the government. 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: There were three themes. One the government is full of 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: blame and excuses too, Luxon is throwing Bishop under the 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: bus on the Auckland housing deal. And three the people 17 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: who left for Australia did so because of this government. Now, firstly, 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: I'm disappointed in all of this, not surprised, but disappointed. 19 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: I pray Hipkins gets better. I want him so badly 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: to be brighter, more insightful, more astute, far more sophisticated 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: as a police operator. Although and here is where I 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: need your help. Am I delusional? Is what he's doing? 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: All he needs to do? Are we that easily sucked in? 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: A lot of what he says simply isn't true, But 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: then maybe it doesn't need to be. No one has 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: left this country because of this government. They've only been 27 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: here two years. For goodness sake, they left because the 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: previous government shaft of the economy. That is a statement 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: of fact. The economy was sunk and with it many 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: people's opportunities. As for blame and excuses, there are no 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: excuses because they've only been here two years. They're still 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: putting stuff in place. It's too new to have excuses. 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: Blame well, yes, they blame labor. Why because it's true 34 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: Bishop under the bus, Well I'd probably run that line too, 35 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: to be honest. I mean it's not true. The housing 36 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: back down when it comes is on all of them. 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: But Bishop is the name on the tent. But politics 38 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: to that extent is politics, So you can't mark Hepkins 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: down for a bit of a crack in that direction. 40 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: Now back to the overarching theme he has if you 41 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: don't follow politics, been running this line for well over 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: a year in the House at question time. Everything is 43 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: the government's fold. He did nothing wrong, labor are brilliant. 44 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: I have been gobsmacked at his gaul, but then I'm 45 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: expecting better. Is this a strategy? And if it is, 46 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: does it actually stand a chance of being successful? It's 47 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: the say it so often people believe its strategy. Can 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: the carnage of twenty seventeen through twenty twenty three be 49 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: erased in people's minds? If Hipkins simply blitzes you with bs? 50 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: Obviously I see it for what it is. But what 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 2: about that floating voter ray, the one that decides elections? 52 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: Do they see it? Or is Hipkins onto something? 53 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,559 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety. 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 2: Seconds, let's start with you know where you know who? 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: And yet another example of how most people seem inexplicably 56 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: to overreact to mad musings. Guess what, Guess what? There 57 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: is no war. He isn't invading anything. 58 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: I want to do that. 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: Okay, Now everyone's saying, oh good, that's probably the biggest 60 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 4: statement a man. Because people thought I would use force. 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 4: I don't have to use force. I don't want to 62 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: use force. I won't use force, no kidding. 63 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: If you watch us today's multi owner dine tribe at 64 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: the White House before we lift the dabos is the room. 65 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 4: Some of you are the greatest leaders anywhere in the world. 66 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: You're the greatest brains anywhere in the world. And I 67 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: always say we have to cherish our brilliant people because 68 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 4: there aren't many of them. 69 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: Just hang in there. That's just a bit more to go. 70 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: Then we got to the greatest hits. First, the economy. 71 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: We're at a point that we've never I don't believe 72 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 4: we've ever been. I never thought we could do it 73 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: this quickly. My biggest surprise is I thought it would 74 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: take more than a year, maybe like a year and 75 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: one month. 76 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: Sick, sick, sick. And what a genius he is with 77 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: new tech. 78 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: It was my idea, we needed more than double the 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: energy currently in the country just to take care of 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: the AI plants. Then I came up with the idea, 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: you know, let's see what you can do. You can 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: build your own electric generating plants. 83 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: Third, he is perhaps surprising on trying to Leftling style 84 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: politics by banning corporations buying real estate. 85 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 4: Homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America 86 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: will not become a nation of renters. We're not going 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: to do that. That's why I have signed and executive 88 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 4: order banning large institutional investors from buying single family homes. 89 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: It's just not fair to the public. 90 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: And fourth count forgets domestic obsession with Minnesota. 91 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: Or cracking down on more than nineteen billion dollars in 92 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 4: fraud that was stolen by some million bandits. Can you 93 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: believe that Somalia they turned out to be higher IQ. 94 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: Than we thought. 95 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: We see these are low IQ people. How did they 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: go into Minnesota and steal all that money? 97 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: Well? 98 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: Else can we tell you? He referred to Greenland as 99 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: Iceland four separate times. He now says it's a psychological 100 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: reason why he wants to own Greenland. He called the 101 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: UK and Europe unrecognizable, not in a positive way, and 102 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: city stopped calling COVID the Chinese virus after a request 103 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: from she who I'm sure. He went on to say, 104 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 2: he's a very good friend. He's a very good friend. 105 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: I know she's a very anyway, that's it's news of 106 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: the world. Trump and ninety Europe has gone and suspended 107 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: approval for the US tariff deal, so they're still a 108 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: bit lift about all of that. Gold this morning record 109 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: forty eight hundred dollars. They're now talking, if you can 110 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: believe it, of seven thousand dollars by year's end. Bestn't 111 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: the sell America thing, which seems to be over this 112 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: morning because everyone's changed their mind, the sell America thing. 113 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: Beston's not concerned about all of that. So more shortly 114 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: twelve parts. 115 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 116 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: by News Talk Zippy. 117 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: Britain cannot get over this inflation problem. They thought three 118 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: point three, they've got three point four. Core is at 119 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: three point two, so they've still got issues. Fifteen pass generate. 120 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: Greg Smith, Good morning to you, morning Mike. Now we'll 121 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: get to the Cell America thing, which doesn't appear to 122 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: be a thing anymore in a moment. But United, isn't 123 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: it travel fascinating though, I mean, you know we will 124 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: bleed to fly? 125 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, what turbulnce. So United Airlines have come out and 126 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: are really reassured over the state of the travel industry, 127 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 5: and there were still sort of spending there at least 128 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 5: Americans are so Corley need income that was up six 129 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 5: percent three and a half billion dollars revenues of fifteen 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 5: point four billion, and it was despite they had a 131 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 5: turn fifty million dollar hit from the government shutdown last year. 132 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: So yeah, travel demand alive and well, premium seat demand strong, 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 5: business travel International routes fourth quarter revenue and premium side 134 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 5: that was up nine percent. Main cabin that was up 135 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: seven percent. So you've get a lot of talk about 136 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 5: the K shaped economy where you know, the toppings doing well, 137 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 5: the bottoming lags. But United's is not seeing this, and 138 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 5: it may be part of it us, but I suppose 139 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 5: we was still after experiences and being treated well. So 140 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 5: they're the only airline offering ovens and economies who get 141 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 5: some nice hot meals. They're adding life lat seats and 142 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 5: also Eline and Musk's starlink services coming. But yeah, international 143 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: routes might do really well. Revenues here up almost ten 144 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: two percent domestically and long haul travel really strong. Are 145 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 5: they actually the big zeerline in the use in terms 146 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 5: of international Still some supply chain issues we know about 147 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: je engine shortages, but yet are undergoing a historic fleet expansion, 148 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 5: which gives you a bit of a tip on how 149 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 5: they see things. So one hundred and twenty aircraft they' 150 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: getting this year, seventy seven Dreamliners and twenty wide body jets, 151 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 5: and that's the most by USC line in a single 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 5: year since nineteen eighty eight. So things going on pretty 153 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: well in twenty twenty six. Obviously two minutes in terms 154 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 5: of what Trump's been saying. But it started with a 155 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 5: bang on the travel front. So the first two weeks 156 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 5: were the first and second largest ever in their history 157 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 5: business travel. That's roaring back, the five biggest booking days ever. 158 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 5: We're all in the last couple of weeks. And yeah, 159 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 5: instantly on geopolitics, CEO he's not worried about Greenland and tariffs, 160 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 5: and said that even if things got a bit rocky, 161 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 5: it had bounced back after a few weeks, much like 162 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 5: Liberation Day last year. So yeah, really up the they 163 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 5: see record profits and they reckon if demand stays anywhere 164 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 5: there it is, it's going to be a great year. 165 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: So invest is like that shares up three percent? 166 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff? What about Netflix? To see Netflix? The 167 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: ads are working, while why are the shares down? 168 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, the ads are working very well. So that you 169 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 5: look the addition of Aita has been a stroke of genius, 170 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 5: driving low cost subscriptions of course, and advertising now are 171 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 5: really meaningful growth engine. So revenue they are up two 172 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 5: and a half times one billion in twenty twenty five, 173 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: and they reckon it's going to roughly double again in 174 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. But yeah, Netflix shares down five percent. 175 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 5: Result it self is pretty solid, but it was more 176 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 5: about the outlook. So revenue that was eighteen percent twelve 177 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 5: point one billion, need income that was up twenty nine 178 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 5: percent two four to two million, but your higher costs, 179 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 5: programming costs of the Warner deal that they're pursuing, so 180 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: that they reckon it's going to add around about two 181 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five million, and they've already spent about 182 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 5: sixty million there. And they don't disclose memberships quarterly now 183 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 5: but they do annually, so three and twenty five million. 184 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 5: I've got globally in terms of membership sets up around 185 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 5: about eight percent, but they having to invest to keep 186 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 5: that going. So they reckon they're going to lift film 187 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 5: and investment in TV by around about ten percent this year. 188 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 5: They spent around eighteen billion last year, but revenue looking good. 189 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 5: I reckon that's going to rise fourteen percent. But yeah, 190 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 5: the Warner deal, that's going to be pricedly pausing buybacks. 191 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 5: One positive there or another positive is that they're going 192 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 5: to put through price increases perps. Not so much positive 193 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 5: for members. Lots of content, of course, it's not just 194 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 5: about stranger things, and obviously the Warner Brothers deal is 195 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 5: going to give them a lot more in that one 196 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 5: of the deepest film and TV libraries in the world. 197 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 5: So yeah, it wasn't a bad result, Mike, but it 198 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 5: is a reminder that Netflix is entering a bit more 199 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 5: of a mature phase. This shoe is velvet in context. 200 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: Are up one hundred and fifty percent over the past 201 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 5: three years. 202 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: Right, A quick words, the sell offs off is it 203 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: we've changed down? Mind the seals off. 204 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 5: The markets have bounced back. Investors are sort of wondering 205 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 5: whether this is taco Trump always chickens out again and 206 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 5: we've seen this before and your suggestions there's been watching 207 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 5: the stock market reaction. Buston says it's not about that, 208 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 5: and certainly still there is as you mentioned, he still 209 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 5: wants a piece of the ice, even if he gets 210 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 5: by the wrong name. He said, there needs to be 211 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: mediate negotiations with Denmark, Europe. Their reactions clear of suspended 212 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 5: trade talks. Macrons sort of been talking tough as well 213 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 5: about limiting European firms access to the US. But yeah, 214 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 5: I think the bottom line is market's welcomed that no 215 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 5: force line and no use of military. He's moderated his stance, 216 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 5: but look, uncertainly is still firmly in play. And you 217 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 5: need to look no further than. 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: The rerection of goal that's up at new record highst amazing. 219 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 2: What are the numbers? 220 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 5: Is the Dow up two and sixty points at the moment, 221 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 5: forty eight seven to fifty s and P five under 222 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 5: that point six percent, Na's deck up point three percent, 223 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: forty one hundred up point one percent.

Having said that, why doesn't every airline have 298 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: Wi Fi? Why is WiFi still a thing? For goodness sake? 299 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: How many times have you hopped on a plane and go, 300 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this plan doesn't have Wi Fi? And you think, well, 301 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: why not? What is it about the world at the 302 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: moment that it's so fair?

This is twenty twenty five. For all of 308 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: the things and expectations we have around technology. Somehow, the 309 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: moment you jump on a plane, Wi Fi stops, and 310 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: then you have to pay for Wi Fi? Why do 311 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: you have to pay for Wi Fi? Wi Fi costs 312 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: next to nothing, for goodness sake, And you've paid a 313 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: fortune to get on the plane anyway. So one you 314 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: pay a fortune to be on a plane that doesn't 315 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: have Wi Fi. Two, you pay a fortune to be 316 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: on a plane that does have Wi Fi, but the 317 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: WiFi doesn't work. And then three you pay a fortune 318 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: to be on a plane where maybe the WiFi does work, 319 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: but you have to pay for it again. It's almost 320 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: like paying for Netflix and then watching it.

Because you can't say Citron. Are 340 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: those cars really? I mean they got the names on 341 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 2: that that car is no more a Citron than a Maserati, 342 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: than a Fiat than anything else. But good he's off 343 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: to a great start if you follow the formula, he's 344 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: off to a fantastic start for the season. Mike, you 345 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: want good news. Since you just mentioned India, guess who 346 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: just won the international Fintech of the Year in India. Velocity. 347 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: Right here in New Zealand. They power one roof and 348 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: the majority of bank lending in New Zealand colls to Newcastle, Dave, 349 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: well done, Thank you for the intel twenty three to seven. 350 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: I saw Maloney's name on the list to Davos, but 351 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: there is apparently some sort of question markers to whether 352 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: she's actually going. She's just back in from Japan, but 353 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: if she can get a biolet with Trump, she may 354 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: well go. So we'll get the update and see what's 355 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: going on there with Joe, and of course they'll be 356 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: as exercised about Greenland's anybody else. Meantime, back here, we've 357 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: got more good news. Dairy Fontira, not just this year's auctions. 358 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: Two from two so far. Of course, if you followed that, 359 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: but Fonterra's bringing its organics business to the South Island, 360 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: you get one hundred farms or around one hundred farms 361 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: already involved in the North Island program. 362 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 9: Now. 363 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: John Stevenson is the Fonterra Cooperative Council chair and as 364 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: well as John Morning, good Morning, might organics. 365 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: To the South. 366 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: How big a deal is this? 367 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 10: I think it's a really good news story for our 368 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 10: for our farmers, ny A co op down there, Mike. 369 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 10: It's to the is additional demand in the market and 370 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 10: let's lead Fontira to go looking for additional supply. 371 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: What sort of percentage of all the dairy farmers would go? Yep, 372 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: organics is for me. 373 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 10: It's certainly a challenge. It's not for everyone. So I think, 374 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 10: you know, without being as close to it as Fonterra 375 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 10: management is, I think we're well less than one percent 376 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 10: of milk. It comes with a premium, but also some 377 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 10: pretty strict rules around what you can and can't do. 378 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 2: On You will work me through that. What are the 379 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: hurdles versus what are the returns over just doing it regularly? 380 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 10: So since twenty sixteen seventeen the Fonterierra organic milk price, 381 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 10: which is as reflective of market demand and separate from 382 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 10: Fonterra's milk price. It's average about two bucks premium over 383 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 10: the Fonterira farmgate milk price. At the moment it's over three. 384 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 10: But you know, there are some limitations around strict limitations 385 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 10: around what fearlizer you can use, no use of antibiotics, 386 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 10: we controls a lot more difficult. So it's certainly you know, 387 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 10: those things impact your efficiency, but they come at a 388 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 10: premium as well. 389 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: What about the size of the markets. Are there a 390 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: lot of markets globally for it, and are they growing? 391 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 10: That's certainly what's what I'm the stand has lead Fonterra 392 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 10: to this decision, and a lot of the milk goes 393 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 10: to Europe. In the states they have they have pretty 394 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 10: strict requirements and you know that those markets are growing. 395 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 10: I think the key will be to for Fonterra to 396 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 10: grow at at a rate where that demand doesn't it's want, 397 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 10: So you know they'll they'll be careful around it. But 398 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 10: it's a really good news story. 399 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: Interesting, speaking of good news, how about two from two 400 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: from the auctions so far? 401 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 10: Yeah, certainly a bit of relief has swept across dairy 402 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 10: farmers across the country with that mike still a long 403 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 10: way to go, but but really good to see that 404 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 10: trend of negative options reverse. 405 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: Exactly would these two move the farm gay price? Do 406 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: you reckon? 407 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 10: There's still a pretty wide range in terms of what 408 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 10: Fonterra is forecasting. So I mean that's a board decision. 409 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 10: I wouldn't expect it to have a huge impact given 410 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 10: the length of time we've got left in the season, 411 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 10: but in terms of sentiment, that's that's certainly picked up 412 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 10: amongst dairy farmers. 413 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 9: You know. 414 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 10: Nine negative options certainly are a bit of a. 415 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: We did we needed a turnaro and we've got it 416 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: as seemingly all right, John good to catch up. Appreciated 417 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: very much. John Stevenson, who's the Fonterier Cooperative Council chair. 418 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: Nineteen minutes away from seven passcal just if you missed yesterday, 419 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: So one point five across the board. That follows the 420 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: six point three at the start of the year when 421 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 2: everyone was on holiday, So six point three and one 422 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: point five had those two numbers together whole. Yesterday was 423 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: one the seven point two in the first auction, so 424 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: once again. Seven point two and one is eight point two, 425 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to 426 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: even turn up to school to work that out. Skim 427 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: two point two yesterday along with the five point four 428 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: and butter up. Sorry, mind you, from what we learned 429 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: yesterday about picks peanut butter, don't ever talk to me 430 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: about the cost of butter ever again. Yeah, you're splashing 431 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: big on luxury peanut butter. For goodness sake, what cost 432 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 2: of living Christ is anyway? Butter up two point one 433 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 2: along with a three point eight, So two from two 434 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: we'll take that, won't we. 435 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: Nineteen two The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 436 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 437 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: B gave you the heads up on Monday. They had 438 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: a delay, but Fukushima react To number six is back 439 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: up and running, first time since twenty eleven, of course, 440 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: so they've restarted everything delayed by a day because of 441 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: an alarm function. I'm assuming if you're running a nuclear plant, 442 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: you want the alarms working for fairly obvious reasons. So 443 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: they've got them back up and running. We're missing the bit. 444 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 2: I keep telling it if I have time late, A 445 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 2: very interesting article about how much power in the price 446 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: of power goes up when data centers arrive in your town. 447 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 2: And according to the government, we want to be a 448 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: data center operator this country of ours, and I don't 449 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: know that we've got enough power to generate, and of 450 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: course nuclear is but part of the answer. We will 451 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: never be nuclear powered, unfortunately. But the rest of the 452 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: world was is and will be and they will be 453 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 2: the beneficiaries of at sixteen to. 454 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 11: Two International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of 455 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 11: mind for New Zealand business. 456 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: Jo McKenna, how are you, Cram's Happy New Year? Make 457 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: happy New Year to you too. Now I want to 458 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: get to the plooting because I've been watching the videos 459 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: this morning in Sicily. But Maloney, I thought going to Darbos, 460 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: is there a question mark around this? 461 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 12: Now there is a bit of a question mark. I 462 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 12: think she's a bit nervous about getting shoved into a 463 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 12: corner with President Donald Trump and having to make decisions 464 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 12: about whether to join this board of peace that he's 465 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 12: pushing in Gaza. And as we know, there's still plenty 466 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 12: of confusion about Greenland, so perhaps she's waiting for a 467 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 12: special invitation to lock. 468 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 2: That in st vibe on this board. I mean Lukashenko putin. 469 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I suppose that you can argue the un 470 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: IS got everybody therefore, why would you freak out about 471 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: and I knowe that Nittnya who's agreed to join it today, 472 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: but it's a weird thing. Why would she be, given 473 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: her relationship, worried about being next to Trump. 474 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 12: I don't think she's so worried about being next to Trump, 475 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 12: but I don't think she wants to make a firm 476 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 12: decision about the Board of Peace. And because Greenland seems 477 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 12: to be such a movable feast at the moment, she 478 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 12: doesn't want to get locked into anything particular on that 479 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 12: until she meets with other European leaders. 480 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 2: I think, first, okay, what was she doing in Japan 481 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: and did it work out well? 482 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 12: It did seem to work out well. She was doing 483 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 12: a zip through Asia last week and seemed to have 484 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 12: a great time with the new Japanese Prime Minister Sanai Takaichi. 485 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 12: Italy exports more than eight and a half billion US 486 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 12: dollars worth of goods to Japan, but there's plenty of 487 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 12: talk about stepping up defense procurement defense agreement there. They 488 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 12: seem to toast each other and celebrate the success of 489 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 12: female politicians. 490 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 2: No good honor, No, she's good fund the Japanese Prime minister. 491 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: I hope she wins the election. Having seid all of that, 492 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: these videos are watching in Sicily this morning. I'm sorry, 493 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: you're right, you got the big little bit, a little 494 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 2: bit of a winter choke. I'm take a sip of 495 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: your French martini. Sorry about the continue That's all right, 496 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: no worries it all. I'm watching these videos of Sicily. 497 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: So what was a storm, Harry? 498 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 3: Or so? 499 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was storm Harry. It looks dramatic. 500 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 12: Well it sounds like it's a timely sort of term, 501 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 12: isn't it? Cyclone? 502 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 13: Harry? 503 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 12: Who to match Prince Harry's visit to London at the moment, 504 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 12: But it seems like this cyclone has swept through Sicily. 505 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 12: The political leaders there are demanding a state of emergency 506 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 12: be declared. Two hundred people have been left homeless, and 507 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 12: we've seen some torrential rains and waves of about ten 508 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 12: meters battering the coast and causing all sorts of damage. 509 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 2: Shocking. Just a quick one before you completely pass out 510 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: this free trade thing. Now I've got to be honest. 511 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: The macursor the block, which is Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. 512 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: I'd never heard it called that, but this deal that's 513 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 2: been done is massive. Has that gone down well or 514 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 2: not well? 515 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 12: It seems to have been blocked. The European Parliament today 516 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 12: voted to refer this trade agreement to the European Court 517 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 12: of Justice, and that sounds like it might derail it 518 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 12: all together, Mike. The deal involves, obviously free trade between 519 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 12: the European Union and Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. 520 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: So dollars for goodness, like seven hundred million people. 521 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, and plenty of pushback from the European 522 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 12: farmers who are afraid that we're going to see an 523 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 12: influx of chief goods. 524 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: Hey, just a quick one, and I know I'm I'm 525 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: stretching my lucky with you, but I'm reading, you know, 526 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: the Tribute Fountain, how they're going to charge people to 527 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: stand in front of the tribe fountain. Yes, having been 528 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: to the Tribute Fountain, it's a tiny thing comparatively speaking. 529 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: What are they going to do? Are they going to 530 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: rope it off or have an entrance way or build 531 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 2: a wall or what are they doing? 532 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 12: Well, you know last year they were regulating the number 533 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 12: of visitors and monitoring how many people could go in. 534 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 12: It seemed that there were some barriers already in place, 535 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 12: and I'm wondering if they're going to step that up 536 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 12: a notch. But certainly we're going to see that happening 537 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 12: from the beginning of February. 538 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 2: I think I wish you all the very luck with 539 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: your respiratory system. And if this has been the last time, Joe, 540 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: God bless you. I have to see you next week. 541 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: I hope so too, Joe McKenna in Italy. I'll tell 542 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: you what I've been doing. This is the eighteenth year 543 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: of the mic Hosking Breakfast. No one's died on me yet. 544 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: We're not on here anyway. That thing, did you follow? 545 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: That? 546 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: Over the Micossa group block. I didn't even know it 547 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: was a thing, and so I'm embarrassed about that because 548 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: I should have known that Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, 549 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: and so not only is it a block, not only 550 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 2: does it represent Gargantua and numbers of people. Not only that, 551 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: but it's it's a huge It's the biggest free trade 552 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 2: deal that the EU was ever signed, and it's sort 553 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: of one of those things. Oh where did that come from? 554 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: Turn away from seven. 555 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: The mic hosting breakfast with a Vita retirement Communities news 556 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: dogs had been. 557 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: Surely, as an av geek, you'd be aware of the 558 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 2: aerodynamic issues around satellite Wi Fi such as tail fade, 559 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: and there is also these suspected GS three lock issue 560 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 2: as you fly towards Asia which diminishes signal strength until 561 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: you get a lock on. GX one slash for Stalink 562 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 2: would overcome many of these those, of course, but there 563 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: is the certification installation cost to recover. Rob well aware 564 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: of those situations, thank you very much. 565 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 8: I think most of us are. 566 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 2: I think most of us are ROB. I mean, can 567 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: I go further Rob and say, well, who isn't? But 568 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 2: as long as one can do it, we can all 569 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: do it, is my argument, Mike. We recently did four 570 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: sectors to Europe and back with Singapore air Lines and 571 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 2: business will of course you did. Everyone's in business. No 572 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: one flies economy anymore, don't they. I mean, is there 573 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: anyone back there in economy? What's the point of economy anymore? 574 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: Everyone's in business clearly only one sector with Wi Fi working, 575 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: and that was on it I wasn't working and that 576 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: was Air New Zealand. I think of any New Zealand. 577 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: I mean, if the plane doesn't have the thing turned on, 578 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: or it doesn't have it fitted, then there's nothing you 579 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: can do about it, is it? 580 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: Mike. 581 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: The reason why Hipkins will get away with the bes 582 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: is because he's got a very compliant MSM that will 583 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: not change his commentary are because of as many voters 584 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: will think that it therefore becomes the truth. Brendan. One 585 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: of the great interesting things interesting or great, don't use 586 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: both words at the same time, Michael. One of the 587 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 2: interesting things about the election will be the role of 588 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: the media this year and how they behave or whether 589 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: they behave, and whether it becomes a subject in and 590 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: of itself. Just for the record, it was cheese, said Joe. 591 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: I suspect it sounded to me. It sounded like gorgon Zola. 592 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: But that's just a guess. Five minutes away from seven. 593 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: The Ins and the Outs, it's the fizz with business favor. 594 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: Take your business productivity to the next level. 595 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: Right. 596 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: We told you about some of the inflation forecasts on Monday, 597 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: and despite the fact it's only in our Thursday, we've 598 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: got some revised numbers apparently, so clearly the economists came 599 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: back to work and turn the calculators on. The official 600 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: data is out tomorrow morning, which I always find disappointing 601 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: if someone's listening from a department that releases those. No 602 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: one's interested in the Friday. Once the show ends at Friday, 603 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: we all go off for the weekend. So release it 604 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: on a Thursday. There be a Monday. Now start the 605 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 2: week with a bit of good news something. Friday's a 606 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: waste of time anyway, So it comes out tomorrow morning. 607 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: Average consensus about three percent. This is for the year. 608 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: At that level, the RB will hold when she comes 609 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 2: back in February. Now, the economists have now revised up 610 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: their forecast four Q four ASB and our picking quarterly 611 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 2: at zero point six, which would give us an annual 612 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: of three point one. While I want to stick to 613 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: their twenty seven forecast. On the next basis point drop. 614 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: They're cautioning that the RB may step in earlier the 615 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: economy heats up too much. Well, labor don't want the 616 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: economy to heat up too much, because you know what 617 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: a hot economy leads to re election. Most other economists 618 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: are picking zero point five that's for the quarter, and 619 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: which would leave it around three percent, which is the 620 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: top end. I mean, the broad range for the RB 621 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: is zero to three. Three is right at the top end. 622 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: Westpac say household spending is up, but competitive pressures as 623 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: retailers try to bring in customers could have a larger 624 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: dampening impact on prime is Then they assumed, have you 625 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: seen that? Have you suspected that as a consumer, I've 626 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: not seen a tremendous number of sales and discounts and 627 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: stuff like that. They also expect to see a lift 628 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: in building cost inflation. That number came out the other day, 629 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: the quarterly number. I think what it was it zero 630 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: point four. I think was zero point four just off 631 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 2: the top of my head. So, yes, it's inflation, but 632 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: it's not as bad as it was Rains. It'd also 633 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: say the risk of the RB getting involved earlier than 634 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: twenty seven is increasing. So what that means if you're 635 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: wondering what I'm babbling on about, is as the economy heats, 636 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: you take cuts off the table, you take hold off 637 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: the table, and you get to where probably Australia is 638 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: and you start going, we may if the heats in there, 639 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: start to have to look at interest rate increases, which 640 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: of course then introduces you to the fascinating area of 641 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: mortgage interest rates. What you do do you lock in? 642 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: Do you go longer term, shorter term floating? What do 643 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: you Tony Alexander in One Roof, by the way, has 644 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: made a fantastically depressing prediction as to our relationship dollar 645 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: wise between New Zealand and Australia, because I was at 646 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 2: eighty five eighty six. It's a joke and his forecast 647 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: as to when that might be rectified is super depressing. 648 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: We will have some of that in the next half hour, 649 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: along with our trip to Dubos. 650 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to Mike, 651 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: the mic hosking breakfast with the Defender, embraced the impossible 652 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: news talks. 653 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: There'd be seven past seven, so to Darbos, where a 654 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: lot of the world's fiscal and political elite gather, of 655 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: course each year to chew over the state of the place, 656 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: and the state of the place is messy Greenland and 657 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: the broader rewriting of the geopolitical rules or all anyone's 658 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 2: really interested in although we thought it was Greenland till 659 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: Trump arrived. 660 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 4: I don't know that they'd be there for us. They're 661 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 4: not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. 662 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 4: Mayor stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. 663 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. 664 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: Mimi Becker's channelized europe correspondent and is in Darbos. Mimi morning, 665 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: Good morning to you mate. So it is Greenland, of course, 666 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 2: are we all relieved now that we're not going to 667 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: get invaded? 668 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 14: Well, I think it's sorry. Excuse these sirens that entually 669 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 14: just come out of nowhere on the main parade here 670 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 14: in Davos. 671 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 15: Hopefully that is. 672 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 8: The last of it. 673 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 14: I think people didn't really know what to expect from 674 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 14: this speech from Chump, as he can be so unpredictable. 675 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,959 Speaker 14: But he did seem to dial back down some of 676 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 14: his language just in terms of ruling out the force 677 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 14: that the United States could possibly use to take over Greenland. 678 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 14: But he certainly still has amped up his ambitions to 679 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 14: take over the country, sort of setting out more of 680 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 14: the reasons why. So I think that's what people here 681 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 14: have said that they can take away from that. 682 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 2: Right, So no invasion. So where do we go from here? 683 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: He said, we need to negotiate. Are they will they? 684 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: How does this play out? 685 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 14: Well, that's exactly right, he said, they will need to negotiate, 686 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 14: and he did send a very clear message as well 687 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 14: to Denmark and Europe. He said that they have a 688 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 14: choice and you can either say yes and the US 689 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 14: will be very appreciative, or you can say no and 690 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 14: the United States will remember. So he was still sending 691 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 14: a strong and pointed message there. Of course, there has 692 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 14: been a lot of back and forth in recent days 693 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 14: between President Trump port truth social as well as European leaders. 694 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 14: Here in Davos. He is holding some bilateral meetings here. 695 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 14: He's already met with Poland, Belgium and Egypt, and he 696 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 14: is expected to hold more meetings tomorrow. So it may 697 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 14: be a case that those discussions sort of happen more 698 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 14: behind closed doors and he keeps things a little more 699 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 14: friendly into the public forum here in Davos. 700 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: How much divergence is there between European nations as this 701 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 2: gets ugly, how they respond? 702 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 14: Yeah, it really, it really is one of those things. 703 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 14: Talking to people here and also seeing various reporting online 704 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 14: in terms of that these countries have a choice really 705 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 14: to stand together or will some of them crack and 706 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 14: break away. The United Kingdom have already said that they 707 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 14: will not give in to Trump's demands to take over Greenland. 708 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 14: Of course, he has threatened tariffs at several countries, but 709 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 14: Sakia Starmer today said he wouldn't He wouldn't give in 710 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 14: at all. There are other countries that may be a 711 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 14: little bit more susceptible to that. So it is it 712 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 14: is a chance to see if if the countries stay 713 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 14: together and stay strong and really their focus will be 714 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 14: that NATO alliance as well. 715 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. We'll stay in touch. Mi 716 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: Mi Becker, who's Channel Line zero correspondent in bost him 717 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: and has past seven tasking jobs. Where are we at 718 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 2: the economies providing excellent data so far? Does here confidence 719 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: manufacturing services or good numbers for employment to round out 720 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 2: the USO sale well ed volumes of down zero point three, 721 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: applications with job are down zero point one. Taranaki's hot 722 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: construction looks increasingly strong, and Nick Brunsdon is the principal 723 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 2: economist at Informetric standers with us. Nick morning is zero 724 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: point three a thing or can we say it's broadly flat. 725 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 13: I would call it broadly flat, and it was positive 726 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 13: over the previous six months, but I would still call 727 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 13: that broadly flat. 728 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 2: So we can't read it because my next part of 729 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: that was is December a thing? In other words, we 730 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 2: all want to go away for Christmas? So why would 731 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 2: we hire anyone? Is that part of the equation or not. 732 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 13: In terms of the month and month. Yes, but it 733 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 13: did show that that trend we saw increase them through 734 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 13: twenty five did tail off a little bit in December, 735 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 13: so that will be a little bit. 736 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 7: Yeah. 737 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: Big question is five point three it and we're on 738 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 2: the downward slide and getting better? 739 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 3: I think so. 740 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 13: I mean the job ads sideways in December, but we 741 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 13: have seen that from for example, the AMZ business outlocks. 742 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 13: Surveyed businesses are more keen to hire, and coming into 743 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 13: twenty six, we've seen employment hasn't has stopped declining. So 744 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 13: everything is positive. It's just not showing that we're in 745 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 13: a rip raw and recovery just yet. 746 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: No, is it a slow boon. My fear is capacity 747 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: for this country, whether we can even if we wanted 748 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 2: to do, we have the wear with all the get 749 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 2: up and running or is there a bit of a 750 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 2: potential stall or slow burn on when it comes to jobs. 751 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 13: I mean, I'm not sure that the supply is going 752 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 13: to be the constraint. You know that on the demand side, 753 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 13: the demand to hire a lot of people just isn't there. 754 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 13: We're not expecting it to be a really quick recovery, 755 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 13: so I don't think a lack of people is going 756 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 13: to hold us back. And you know, with that five 757 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 13: point three percent unemployment, right, we do have a fair 758 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 13: bit of spare capacity. We're still getting four times as 759 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 13: many applicants for jobs on seek as we were three 760 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 13: years ago, so there's still a lot of people looking 761 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 13: for work. 762 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 2: The sector variability, is there anything in that? Construction good, 763 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: Retail not so much. 764 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 13: Yeah, construction's good and that's great. It is a big employer, 765 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 13: especially in areas like Auckland, but it's coming from a 766 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 13: very low base and it's had a really rough time 767 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 13: for the last couple of years. Retails a bit more 768 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 13: sideways as well. 769 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 3: That's okay. 770 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 13: To manufacturing's showing some really positive signs, which is really encouraging. Again, 771 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 13: that's a really key sector employing a lot of people. 772 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 13: Especially in big centers like Auckland's. 773 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 2: Okay, the most important economic marker, of course, the Nick 774 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 2: Brunston view of twenty twenty six. You're bullish or not. 775 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 3: Positive? 776 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 13: Weekly positive? 777 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, weekly positive, absolutely waveringly positive. 778 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 3: I wouldn't waiver on that. 779 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 13: But yeah, it's not going to be a roaring recovery 780 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 13: in twenty six. 781 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 2: All right, mate, nice to talk, appreciate it. Nick Brunston, 782 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 2: who's the principal economist lead demographer as well at Inframetrics thirteen. 783 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: In his past PASKI put you through the regionals. By 784 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 2: the way, Taranaki up three man or two up two 785 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: point one gives men up two point one. So that's 786 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 2: all good. Auckland down, which is never good because that's 787 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 2: the engine room of the country. Otago as far as 788 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 2: the South Island's concerned, as the star in the south 789 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 2: at zero point eight annually, these numbers are astonishing annually 790 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 2: twenty percent for Tasman, eighteen for the West Coast and 791 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 2: eighteen point two for a Tigo and has Nick said, engineering, manufacturing, 792 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: transport and logistics all look pretty good to me. Power 793 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 2: as your power build down should be. I'll tell you 794 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: why shortly thirteen passed. 795 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 796 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 797 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: A'd be Tony Brown with a word about the rug 798 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: before you after seven thirty This morning.

Meantime power, Do I have 803 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: good news here? 804 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 3: Well? 805 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: The lakes are choker in flows for one hundred and 806 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 2: twenty three percent of historic average. That's the second highest 807 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 2: July to December period on record. A generation volume is 808 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: also up thirteen percent, which means prices are down. Mike Rohan, 809 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 2: of course, as the chief executive at Meridian and is 810 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: with us Mike Morning, Mike, how I is one very well. Indeed, 811 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: there's no pattern to this though. I mean, good honors 812 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 2: for having some rain, But I mean I could easily 813 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: talk to you next year and it could be the 814 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: exact opposite, couldn't it. 815 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 16: Yep. 816 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 17: The weather can be fickle, as we're learning in the 817 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 17: country right now, can be very challenging. But we know 818 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 17: you noted we're in bitter shape than we were in 819 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 17: twenty twenty four, and compared to that could we might 820 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 17: even have the lowest wholesale electricy prices in the OECD. 821 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 17: So you know, we are making some progress in restoring 822 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 17: balance from that period, but the job, as you know, 823 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 17: it's far from done. 824 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 3: Yes. 825 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 2: Can I see in my bill right here, right now, 826 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 2: the savings. 827 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 17: If you are a customer that uses wholesale electricity prices, yes, 828 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 17: If you are a commercial industrial customer that is about 829 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 17: to recontract looking at those wholesale electricity prices, yes. Residential customers, unfortunately, 830 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 17: we'll see increases in their bills driven by the POMICS 831 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 17: Commission approved increases to the lines, the distribution and transmission charges. 832 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 17: It will flow through over the next three or so years. 833 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 17: So you know, large customers that were affected by the 834 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 17: events of twenty twenty four are seeing some respite. 835 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 2: Okay, I read the article over the summer. I don't 836 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 2: know where it was, I can't remember, but you were 837 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: featured heavily in it, and you talk very bullishly of 838 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 2: hydro was correct in reading in that article You're somehow 839 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 2: going to expand or look to expand some facility to try. 840 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: You're going to try. 841 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 17: We're going to try, and we're going to try. Is 842 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 17: you know that the focus we've had has been investing 843 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 17: in wind farms and solar farms to recover the energy 844 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 17: balance can we lost gas. As we've done that, we've 845 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 17: also looked at how we might support competitive advantage in 846 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 17: the wider economy. And what we know is that you know, 847 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 17: other countries that we compete against, they can also invest 848 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 17: in solar and wind farms. Yes, but what we've got 849 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 17: access to here in New Zealand is water and that's 850 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 17: something that they don't. And you know, water is both 851 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 17: flexible and it's cheap. So you know, if we can 852 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 17: build out those hydro generation facilities we can support you know, 853 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 17: it be a game changer from New Zealand economy. It 854 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 17: will just take us time. Well they do it now, viewers. 855 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 2: That side, that's where I couldn't work it out. I mean, 856 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 2: you can't build anything in this country, even if you 857 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 2: do change the RMA. So you're looking to expand what 858 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 2: you've got, will build something new and is that realistic? 859 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 17: Yeah, So we're looking to expand what we've got. You know, 860 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 17: we think the obvious place to look is the McKenzie Basin, 861 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 17: which is where we've already got man made hydro storage lakes, 862 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 17: so you know it's not it's been modified and it's 863 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 17: not populated down that way. So we're looking to do 864 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 17: carefully at what we might do with La Pookaky. But 865 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 17: your point, it will take time. You know, hydro development, 866 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 17: it's a long term initiative. And you know we did 867 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 17: a great job sixty years ago building out the hydro 868 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 17: backbone in the country and you know we're looking at 869 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 17: it going, hey, if people were able to do it, 870 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 17: then you know our job is to do it and 871 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 17: look at it now and see whether we can't create 872 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 17: the same sort of environment that New Zealand's enjoyed over 873 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 17: the last twenty four years support the economy. 874 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, good to catch up with you and go, well, 875 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 2: we'll talk again this year. I'm sure Mike Ryan look 876 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 2: up that article. I can't remember where it was, but 877 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 2: but he's bullish on that. He also said the Huntly thing, 878 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 2: the agreement they've made with the cold round Huntley and 879 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: all the power companies, that's fixed the problem. So in 880 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 2: other words, no bad winters anymore. And then the other 881 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 2: thing that was floating about. Yesterday Mercury turned on their 882 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 2: geothermal generator and TOWERPO and that's going to provide power 883 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 2: for one hundred eventually one hundred and fifty eight thousand 884 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: homes fifty five thousand currently nine geothermal wells. They're drilled 885 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 2: more than three thousand meters into the ground, so they've 886 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: got that. They got stage two of their wind farm 887 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 2: in Southland and the wind farm in Northland, so a 888 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 2: lot of wind, a lot of soul, a lot of geothermal, 889 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 2: and of Mike has' way a lot more hydra. Seven 890 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 2: to twenty one. 891 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 892 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 893 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,399 Speaker 3: That'd be yes. 894 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: As we've been talking about this morning.

We were back there last month 921 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 2: for the graduation of a daughter who's plying her trade 922 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 2: in the medical profession. Now, everything about it was awesome. 923 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 2: It is what every city in this country should aspire to. 924 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 2: I mean, christ Church obviously has got a lot of 925 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 2: headlines for doing things well. And Dunedin is not christ Church. 926 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 2: It's not been rebuilt or reimagined. Many bits of it 927 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 2: are in fact the same as when I worked there 928 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 2: thirty years ago, but a lot of bits are better. 929 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 2: The EBB Hotel, the EBB Remember the night, brilliant, brilliant, 930 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 2: perfectly place you walk everywhere, Importantly, perhaps most importantly, everywhere 931 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,720 Speaker 2: we went, I mean everywhere. People were friendly, not just friendly, 932 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 2: but inquiring and helpful. Not a shop was entered where 933 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 2: we got anything but help and interest and advice and service. 934 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 2: It was like New Zealand used to be. Or that's 935 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 2: the way it seems when you live in a place 936 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: like Auckland. From restaurants to cafes, to an art gallery, 937 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 2: to hotels, to bars, to rental car operators, every single 938 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 2: interaction delibered. I honestly cannot remember the last time that 939 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 2: happened to me. I asked my daughter whether she would 940 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 2: miss it Dunedin. That, as she said, six years was plenty, 941 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 2: so maybe living there and visiting as different, mind you. 942 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 2: The lady at Michael Hill said she'd moved from Auckland. 943 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 2: She'd never go back. The airport is still too far 944 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 2: from town. They built it with vision. Ironically, the city 945 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: was supposed to spread across the tiree. It didn't, well, 946 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 2: not enough, and I think we can conclude now it 947 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 2: never will. It was sunny that weekend, by the way, 948 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 2: twenty three degrees. Everyone told us how unusual all that was. 949 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 2: So maybe we got lucky. I mean, maybe we got lucky. 950 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 2: Good weather, nice hotel, we bought three paintings, plane arrived 951 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 2: and took off on time. Daughter won some prizes, so 952 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: we were full of pride. Food was good, service was 953 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: professional and friendly. So maybe we were lucky, or maybe 954 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 2: Dunedin rocks asking, Ah, why don't the USA just ask 955 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: for a base in Greenland, Mike, can save all the 956 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 2: threats and uncertainty. What an interesting question. They have a 957 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 2: base in Greenland. In fact, if you go back and 958 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 2: read the background material, they have or had many bases 959 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 2: in Greenland until they decided to close them all down. 960 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 2: So now having made that particular cockup, they're trying to 961 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 2: directify the situation. Mike, we have a lifestyle block. Speaking 962 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 2: of power, we have a life style block that was 963 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 2: without power for eighteen days due to overhead power lines 964 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 2: cut due to fallen trees. Just received a Genesis bill 965 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 2: and still charge an estimate amount based on the previous use. Allen, 966 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 2: don't get over excited about the over the estimate charge. 967 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 2: They'll rectify that in time. But I fully fully am 968 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 2: with you on the business of rural power because we 969 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: had the same problem. And if I get time, I'll 970 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 2: tell you the story. But they checked how old our 971 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 2: lines are, and they can do that when we finally 972 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 2: got through to someone who was interested in dealing with us. 973 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 2: And you know, a power company over the holiday period 974 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 2: with no people is a scandal. But be that as 975 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,879 Speaker 2: it may. Wait till you find out how old our 976 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 2: power lines are outside our house. It's unbelievable. Tiny Brown next. 977 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: Credible, compelling. The breakfast show you can't bess. It's the 978 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate doing real estate 979 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: differently since nineteen seventy three. 980 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 2: News togs head be things are not going well at 981 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court this morning. If you're Trump or part 982 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: of the administration, this is the Lisa Cook case. Here 983 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 2: is the person that they tried to sack. There is 984 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 2: weariness eight of the nine Supreme Court justices have expressed weariness. 985 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 2: Elita particularly represented them described as a hurried attempt from 986 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 2: the Trump administration to olster a sharp disagreement with the 987 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 2: Trump administration, claimed that judges lack the authority to review 988 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 2: a president's power to fire members from the Federal Reserve Board. 989 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 2: They don't appear to be agreeing with any of that. Obviously, 990 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 2: this is not going to be decided today or indeed 991 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 2: for a number of weeks. We're still standing. By by 992 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 2: the way, they started forecasting it last week and we're 993 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,439 Speaker 2: into this week and we still haven't got there. At 994 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 2: some point shortly, apparently the Supreme Court are going to 995 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 2: say something about the teriffs, and that really is the 996 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 2: big one. Meantime, Trump, of course, is in Davos. He 997 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,760 Speaker 2: said what he said, He's not going to invade Greenland. 998 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 2: He said a whole bunch of other stuff. The Swedish 999 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 2: Deputy Prime Minister ways. 1000 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 18: In my message to him as its time to calm down. 1001 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,720 Speaker 18: I'm a mother of two, I don't get flustered easily. 1002 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 18: We're going to keep our call Landers and find the 1003 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 18: way to work together with our American friends where we're 1004 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 18: not going to be blackmail into a position we're not 1005 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 18: prepared to own for a long time. 1006 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,959 Speaker 2: The meantime, the Secretary General of Knight, this is Rutter, 1007 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,720 Speaker 2: who's former Prime Minister of the Dutch. Of course, anyway, 1008 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 2: he's giving assurances about the military s. 1009 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 16: There's one thing I heard you say yesterday and today. 1010 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 16: You are not absolutely sure that your peers from would 1011 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 16: come to the sue of the US if you will 1012 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 16: be attacked.

Absolutely. There's 1015 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 16: absolute guarantee. You neally want to tell you what does 1016 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 16: because this is important. It bans me if you think 1017 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 16: it is not, and under your leadership, this alliance is 1018 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 16: stronger than that. 1019 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 2: Right twenty two. We'll talk about it with Rod in 1020 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 2: Britain in the next hour, of course, and UK a 1021 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 2: major player and all of this. 1022 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 3: Beck. 1023 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 2: Where are we at with the Scott Robertson's replacement right 1024 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 2: we talk The Union is set to apparently any day 1025 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 2: now release its recruitment plan, whatever that means. Of course, 1026 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,959 Speaker 2: a lot of speculation involves Jamie Joseph and you can't 1027 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 2: it seems mentioning there's without thinking about Tony Brown as well, who, 1028 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 2: as it turns out, is with us. Tony. Good morning, 1029 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike, Christmas New Year. Talk me through it. 1030 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 2: Do you have a good time? 1031 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty good. 1032 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 9: Family goes up to Wanaka and we settle in here 1033 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 9: for a couple of months, So just talk here at 1034 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 9: the moment. The weather hasn't been great, but it's getting better. 1035 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 2: What's your view on Wataka being overdeveloped? Is it too 1036 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 2: neighborhoody these days? Do you reckon? 1037 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 3: It's getting bigger for sure? 1038 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 9: But I just went to Queenstown yesterday which was pretty intense, 1039 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 9: so it's a little bit quieter than that. 1040 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 7: I don't mind. 1041 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 9: I don't mind people. 1042 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 2: So did you do the Crown Range? 1043 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 9: Crown Range yet? 1044 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 2: Okay, this has got nothing to do with, of course Rugby. 1045 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 2: The swirling nature of all of this. You've had plenty 1046 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 2: of time to think about it. What do you think? 1047 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, pretty bizarre, you know, the timing around what's happened, 1048 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 9: and no sort of plan going forward, and my name 1049 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 9: getting thrown in there plenty, but no one's really talked 1050 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 9: to me. So I've always just been going back to 1051 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 9: South Africa to finish my contract. 1052 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and happily, so. 1053 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 3: Happily. 1054 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 7: So yeah. 1055 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 2: Can I play a game with you if you weren't 1056 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 2: involved with the South Africa and you were just sitting 1057 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: in Monica wondering what to do with your life? Would 1058 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 2: would you buy somebody's hand off to be the All 1059 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 2: Black coach? Would you? 1060 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 9: I would have yeah two years ago as well, but 1061 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 9: in the future it's definitely something I want to do. 1062 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 9: Just timing hasn't worked. My commitment to South Africa was 1063 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 9: four years and I've always had the plan to honor 1064 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 9: that commitment. 1065 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1066 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 2: And is there no moment in time where you go, Damn, 1067 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 2: this just hasn't quite worked out right and there's nothing 1068 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 2: you can do about it. But it just hasn't quite 1069 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 2: worked out right time wise. 1070 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, very frustrating. 1071 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 3: You. 1072 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 9: I've even talked to Raiser a couple of months ago 1073 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 9: about potentially joining the Allbacks. But that's, like I said 1074 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 9: to him, it's my commitment to South Africa was four 1075 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 9: years and I've always wanted to honor that. And I said, 1076 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 9: I'm just so frustrated that no one talked to me 1077 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 9: two years ago. 1078 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,280 Speaker 7: So that's but that's. 1079 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 9: Rugby, and that's coaching, and you know, he had his 1080 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,959 Speaker 9: coaches and I just had to go and find another job. 1081 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 2: Could they should they have talked to you two years 1082 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 2: ago or could they? Would they argue that maybe two 1083 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 2: years ago you aren't where you are now? 1084 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 9: Who knows? It's It was definitely the Scott Robinson's team 1085 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,280 Speaker 9: versus Jamie Joseph's team. That the process that New Zealand 1086 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 9: Rugby set up. So I think, you know, with me 1087 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 9: being the Jamie then Scott potentially didn't want to take 1088 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 9: me as well. So and you know he hit quality 1089 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 9: coaches and Jason Holland and Leon McDonald, Scott handsome with 1090 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 9: him so and and Jason Ryan, so they had a 1091 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 9: strong coaching team and you know Jamie put his team 1092 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 9: to give it a nice part of that and he's 1093 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 9: gonna ruck the union went with link with Scott, which 1094 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 9: you know, one he probably deserved the job with his success. 1095 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 9: So it was just the way it was. And then 1096 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 9: I was stuck either looking at going back to Japan 1097 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 9: and there's a little opportunity with Argentina and then Russy 1098 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 9: gave me a call around South Africa, so which you 1099 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 9: know I played under Russy for the Stormers and new 1100 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 9: him as a new him as a coach, and thought 1101 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,479 Speaker 9: I actually knew that he'd obviously done some amazing things, 1102 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 9: was so every character last two World Cups, and I 1103 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 9: just thought, Wow, what an opportunity to go and learn 1104 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 9: off him. 1105 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 2: The interesting thing that you talk about the team, the 1106 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 2: Robinson team, that Robinson team of course fell apart. Do 1107 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 2: do you know Robertson well enough to know why that 1108 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 2: would have fallen apart? And would that had potentially been 1109 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,319 Speaker 2: a problem for you as well. 1110 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 3: I've always. 1111 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 9: Rose and I sort of grew up and he's on 1112 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:20,879 Speaker 9: eighth grade teams all blacks together. We were always quite 1113 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 9: good mates and those teams. And I've never really coached 1114 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 9: with him. I don't really have a great insight around 1115 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 9: how he coaches. But for me personally, I would have 1116 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 9: thought I could coach with anyone. 1117 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 3: You know, I love, I. 1118 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 9: Love the game, I love the all blacks, I love 1119 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 9: I love you know, being innovative and then around rugby 1120 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 9: and I love showing up to training and you know, 1121 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 9: trying to make teams better, and. 1122 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 3: I just you know, I would have thought I could coach. 1123 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,840 Speaker 9: With anyone, So it wouldn't have been a massive issue 1124 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 9: for me. 1125 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 2: I suppose times on your side, isn't it. I mean 1126 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 2: it's not like you're fifty five and you're a bit 1127 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 2: past it. I mean, wherever they are, point their point 1128 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 2: this time around, and it'll come around again, won't it. 1129 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1130 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 9: Well, you know, Ruggy moves so fast and the game 1131 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,280 Speaker 9: is so professional now, and you know this is unprecedented 1132 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 9: an all black coach getting cut midterm, So you know, 1133 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 9: who knows what's going to happen going forward in. 1134 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 2: Really simple terms. I don't know if you thought about 1135 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 2: it this way, in really simple terms in making the 1136 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 2: move they have how much of it's on the union 1137 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,760 Speaker 2: versus how much of it's on the coach and the team. 1138 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,399 Speaker 2: In other words, if you fix the union, this might 1139 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 2: not have happened. 1140 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, everyone, everyone's faith. You know, leadership starts from the top, 1141 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 9: and I suppose he's going to rugby union. Got to 1142 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 9: got to show the way there. And then I'm not 1143 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 9: sure about what happened within the all black environment. You know, 1144 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 9: they didn't seem as though they were playing overly poorly. 1145 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 9: There's a few up and down results, but it's like 1146 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 9: they're at tracking okay. And so then just Paul stumps 1147 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 9: and get rid of the head coach has put them 1148 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 9: in a pretty massive situation around for getting ready for 1149 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 9: twenty twenty six, which is going to be a massive 1150 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 9: year not only for the Orblets but for world rugby 1151 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 9: and as a whole with the new championship that they're running. 1152 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 2: There were some international reporting saying as resolve of all 1153 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 2: the aura of the All Blacks is gone, do you 1154 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 2: believe it? 1155 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 9: No way, No way. I think it's a great opportunity 1156 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,440 Speaker 9: for someone, the next coach who's coming in, whoever. 1157 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 3: That may be. 1158 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,760 Speaker 7: I think the players. 1159 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 9: Will be probably excited about starting again and seeing what 1160 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 9: they can do building into twenty seven World Cup. 1161 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 3: I think the coach. 1162 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 9: Is going to have a little bit of a clean 1163 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 9: canvas and be able to do some pretty cool things 1164 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 9: around giving the All Bis not only through the rugby 1165 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,839 Speaker 9: rivalry an India tour, but getting them ready to ever 1166 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 9: crack at the walk. 1167 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Tony go Well Tony Brown 1168 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,399 Speaker 2: who's in Wanaka and as part of the spring Box 1169 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 2: coach and a good insight into what's been going on. 1170 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 2: Fourteen to eight. 1171 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 1: The VI Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1172 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1173 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 2: It be my great interview with Tony Brown, Mike most 1174 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,720 Speaker 2: enlightening interview ever, What a bloody interesting interview with Tony Brown. 1175 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 2: Mike sounded like a verbal job application. I'm glad you 1176 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 2: said that, because halfway through the interview I was thinking 1177 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 2: to myself, this is good, and then I wasn't one 1178 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 2: hundred percent sure whether it was good or not, but 1179 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 2: it was. It turned out to be really good. But 1180 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 2: we've just been talking about it in off are and 1181 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 2: how useless are the Union? I mean, just on a 1182 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 2: scale of one to ten, it didn't be unbelievably bloody useless. 1183 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 2: They seem I mean Mark Robinson, who's gone now. Of course, 1184 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 2: they just seem unable to get out of their own way. 1185 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 2: I mean, how hard does it to pick up a 1186 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 2: phone and ring a few people and keep people in 1187 00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 2: the loop. 1188 00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 8: Yes, they not upgraded to four G or. 1189 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe, but their phones didn't work because it was 1190 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,799 Speaker 2: three G. Oh I they've turned the phones off because 1191 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 2: I mean, just keeping people in the loop. You know, 1192 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 2: people like Tony and Jamie and you know people that 1193 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,919 Speaker 2: you might want to help out or use some time 1194 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 2: in the future. Just here's where we're at. Tony here's 1195 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 2: what we're thinking currently. Here's a few ideas you might 1196 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 2: want to think about, et cetera. Mike, when you talk 1197 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 2: to Tony Brown, I hope you impress upon him how 1198 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 2: much we need him. And Jamie Joseph all Black Rugby 1199 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 2: is a crossroad. In my opinion, I think that's a 1200 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 2: very fair point. But he can't. I agree with him. 1201 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,959 Speaker 2: Being a man of your word is a critical part 1202 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 2: of the modern age, of any age, really, And if 1203 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,240 Speaker 2: he's got a contract, he's got a contract. He can't 1204 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,839 Speaker 2: just say, Rassi four years. I love the four years, 1205 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 2: but unfortunately I'm not going to be here because I've 1206 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 2: got a better opportunity elsewhere. That goes to reputation, and 1207 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 2: I don't think that that's acceptable. Second point nineteen sixty four. 1208 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 2: That's how old my power lines are. So my power 1209 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 2: goes out over Christmas, between Christmas and New Year in 1210 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 2: that period. So it doesn't take me long to diagnose 1211 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 2: the problem because the wire lying down on the road 1212 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 2: is the obvious clue, to which point I think to myself, 1213 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 2: I probably don't want to drive over that, just in 1214 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 2: case I kill myself. So then the phone calls to 1215 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 2: Vector are Victor as useless as the rugby union. Now 1216 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 2: there's the question I will answer in a moment nine 1217 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 2: to eight. 1218 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: So my costing breakfast were the defender and use togs 1219 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 1: dead b. 1220 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 2: But so the big when the line comes down, we're 1221 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 2: without power and so you ring Vector and of course 1222 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 2: Victor's not available apart from the twelve year old who 1223 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 2: answers the phone working from home between Christmas Day and 1224 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 2: New Year, and they know nothing, and they don't want 1225 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 2: to know anything, and they don't care. I know this 1226 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 2: now because Katie, who's a bit between a teeth sort 1227 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 2: of person, was not going to let this lie got 1228 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,959 Speaker 2: onto Corporate. Once they all rolled back into the office 1229 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 2: for the New Year. Corporate did acknowledge in a latter 1230 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 2: phone call that they knew full well that their online 1231 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: service wasn't particularly good, their phone service wasn't particularly good, 1232 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 2: and they were quote unquote working on it. Meantime, back 1233 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 2: to the problem. Because it was Christmas and New Year, 1234 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 2: of course they had nobody on. They had subcontracted workers. 1235 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 2: Now you say to yourself, but hold on, this is power. 1236 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 2: Isn't power moderately important and remains moderately important no matter 1237 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 2: when it is in the year I would have thought 1238 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 2: so clearly not the case. The one crew they had 1239 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 2: on was in the south of Auckland. If you know Auckland, 1240 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 2: the south of Auckland and the north of Auckland is 1241 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 2: a long, long way apart. So by the time they 1242 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 2: were fixing the problem in the southern part of Auckland, 1243 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 2: they would then drive to the northern part of Auckland, 1244 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 2: a trip of at least an hour and a half. 1245 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 2: So that's your day gone. Then by the time the crew, 1246 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 2: the subcontracted crew got to the northern part of Auckland, 1247 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 2: they saw immediately that they couldn't do anything about it 1248 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 2: because they were not qualified to deal with the line concerned. 1249 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 2: Because the line concerned was a high tensity line as 1250 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 2: opposed to a low tensity line. You have different crews 1251 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 2: for different lines. First question, why, how stupid. Nevertheless, that 1252 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 2: would be another day. So now the power's gone off 1253 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 2: for over a day. The tree caused the problem. They 1254 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 2: knew the tree caused the problem because the neighbors tell 1255 00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 2: me they've been writing in the frayge of saying the 1256 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 2: trees causing the problem. They've done nothing about the tree. 1257 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 2: I say to Katie, no, the crew when they arrived, 1258 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 2: they'll just have a chainsaw on the back and they'll 1259 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 2: hack the tree and they'll solve it. And she goes, 1260 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 2: you don't have a clue how the world works. Now, 1261 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 2: that's not the first time she's said that to me, 1262 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 2: but in this particular she just. 1263 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,880 Speaker 8: Said that every time. It's much like a staded response. 1264 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 2: Pretty much. As it turns out, she was, of course correct. 1265 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,919 Speaker 2: They have to bring in a third party to cut 1266 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 2: a tree. Interesting thing about the cutting of the tree. 1267 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 2: The so called professionals who cut the tree don't look 1268 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 2: like professionals. That looked like a dog attacked the tree 1269 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 2: and chewed the branches off, and they took all those 1270 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 2: branches and just left them on the ground and left. 1271 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 2: But they specialists came along and cut the tree. They eventually, 1272 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 2: after a day and a half, got this back up 1273 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 2: and running. In the ensuing corporate phone calls, we were 1274 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 2: able allegedly to check electronically how old our lines were. 1275 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 2: They were put up in nineteen sixty four, which makes 1276 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 2: them older than me. And nothing's older than me apart 1277 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 2: from Rome. So is it any wonder the lines fall down? 1278 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 2: This is a wonder that it takes an excess of 1279 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 2: thirty hours to solve a very simple problem and in 1280 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 2: that victor are useless. So my hope for this year, 1281 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six is vector and companies like them 1282 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 2: do a hell of a lot. 1283 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Better asking the questions others won't the mic asking, Breakfast 1284 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: with Veda, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way, News Dogs head Bain. 1285 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 2: In a seven Past Day, we mentioned Jimmy Carr on 1286 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 2: the program yesterday. He's currently powering through his tour of 1287 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 2: New Zealand also heading a stage centers Jeremy Corbett. He's 1288 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 2: headlining a weekend last Comedy showcase. He also hosts of 1289 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 2: Course Seven Days, which is back this year for it's 1290 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 2: Can You Believe It? Eighteenth season, So no pressure, Let's 1291 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 2: see if he's funny. Jeremy Corbyn is willis Jeremy very 1292 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 1293 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 3: Good morning, Mike. Yeah, I'm certainly no Jimmy Carr, that's 1294 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 3: for sure, don't Jimmy Kelly. I mean, he's a great writer, 1295 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 3: very clever writer. I saw someone's writing for this this tour. 1296 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 3: And he does make a ship joke, which you sort 1297 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 3: of think for most comedians with the low hanging fruit, 1298 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 3: but he makes it good he finds a new angle, 1299 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 3: wants a new angle. 1300 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 2: It's funny enough. That was one of my later questions 1301 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 2: that I will now move up the schedule into this 1302 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 2: particular point in time, which is only you limited in 1303 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,919 Speaker 2: your comedy. So the foreigner comes in here and makes 1304 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 2: fun of New Zealand. You can't make fun of New 1305 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 2: Zealand because you wouldn't get the laugh. So what are 1306 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 2: you limited to and create creative terms? 1307 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 3: But I don't know that. I don't know that there 1308 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,960 Speaker 3: are particularly limits. And then if you, if you issued 1309 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 3: me that challenge, then i'd have to I guess I'd 1310 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 3: have to approach you know, whatever international comedian might come 1311 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 3: in and say about New Zealand. I just have to 1312 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 3: approach it from a different angle, maybe defend it in 1313 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 3: a funny way. Yeah, I don't I don't really find 1314 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 3: there there's a limit. The real limit with my comedy 1315 01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 3: is me putting the effid in. That's that's where I 1316 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 3: really get slowed down. 1317 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 2: Do you do you have what you're doing coming up 1318 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:05,440 Speaker 2: for this weekend? 1319 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 10: Lass? 1320 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 3: Thing? 1321 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 2: Is that set? Is that a thing that's down on 1322 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 2: paper on a computer somewhere and set to go. 1323 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 3: Bits? I suppose I'll probably, you know, much like you're 1324 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 3: preparing a show. I'll do a similar thing sort of, 1325 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 3: you know, put a few bullet points down and say 1326 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 3: I'll do this, but in this, but and this, but 1327 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 3: see how they go. And then when you're up on 1328 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 3: stage and it's going, if you're lucky, you sort of 1329 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 3: get a bit of an idea on stage and have 1330 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 3: a bit of an ad lib. And otherwise you sort 1331 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 3: of tick them off and run through them and if 1332 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 3: they're not liking one bit, then you move on and 1333 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 3: grab another bit. So it's sort of sort of rattling 1334 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 3: around in my head. Have a rough plan. 1335 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,439 Speaker 2: Yes, right, well, we'll see. My show is way better 1336 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 2: prepared than that. 1337 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 3: I mean this adding, oh, you've probably got someone doing that. 1338 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,360 Speaker 3: If I had someone, actually, I do you mentioned seven days? 1339 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 3: When I'm doing that, definitely have people preparing it for me, 1340 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 3: so much funnier. 1341 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 2: Is seven days easier or harder than stage? 1342 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 3: Different beasts? I would say probably from my perspective, a 1343 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 3: bit easier. There's you know that when you're just yourself 1344 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,200 Speaker 3: on stage, there's a bit more jeopardy, I suppose, and 1345 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 3: and it boils back to you whereas were seven days. 1346 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,000 Speaker 3: There's a whole team behind it, and of course even 1347 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 3: when you're actually on TV on the stage of recording, 1348 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 3: there's seven people there, so you've got you've got friends 1349 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 3: that will help you out. So in that respect, seven days. 1350 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 3: I certainly don't get as nervous for seven days as 1351 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 3: I would for a stand up gig. 1352 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 2: When you did season one, did you think you get 1353 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 2: to eighteen and beyond? 1354 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 3: Never? 1355 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 17: No. 1356 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 3: I thought it was funny. I thought. When we made 1357 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 3: series one, I thought, and I remember the first episode 1358 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 3: going to air and I just and genuinely laughing and thinking, 1359 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 3: this is this is a funny show. This is what 1360 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 3: we wanted to make because I don't know if you know, 1361 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 3: but we did try several pilots to get something like this. 1362 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 3: So I think it was funny. But if you'd asked me, 1363 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 3: I would have gone, I reckon, we could get five years. 1364 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 3: But here we are still. 1365 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 2: From Country Calendar. No one gets eighteen seasons, do they not? 1366 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 7: Really? 1367 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 3: I think it's it is someone's compared it to Country 1368 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 3: Calendar in that way before, And I think I think 1369 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 3: the beauty is, as I said, you've got seven comedians, 1370 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 3: so seven chances to expose a new comedian to new 1371 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 3: Zealanders and also give them a leg up. And I 1372 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 3: think we've been instrumental in sort of, you know, helping 1373 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 3: a few careers or they've at least at least come 1374 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,680 Speaker 3: through seven Days on their way to conquering the world. 1375 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 3: So it's been great in that respect. Someone said to me, 1376 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 3: how you know, what's the success? You know, how do 1377 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 3: you do it yourself? And I think just sticking around, 1378 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 3: much like yourself might if you stick around long enough. 1379 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 3: If you stick around long enough, they can't get rid 1380 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 3: of you. 1381 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 2: I like to say, I was going to ask that 1382 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,920 Speaker 2: at eighteen, you must be at the point where no 1383 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 2: one would be bold enough to go, you know what, 1384 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 2: made enough's enough? 1385 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 3: It depends how my dementia comes along. I suppose at 1386 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 3: some stage they might. They might just put me in 1387 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 3: a chair out the back and have me reading to 1388 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 3: a screen, thinking I'm doing the show, but not really 1389 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 3: using me anymore. Certainly a couple of younger comedians that 1390 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,680 Speaker 3: divided the seat. But like I say, sticking around the success. 1391 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 3: And I make the joke that I'm no longer when 1392 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,080 Speaker 3: they're putting seven days together, I'm no longer on the 1393 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 3: talent and the budget I'm under set. 1394 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 2: What season was it where it felt comfortable and more 1395 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 2: relaxing and a thing that had grown into itself and 1396 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 2: therefore it had its own inertia. 1397 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 3: It happened quite early, I think, because just like I say, 1398 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 3: when we did that first episode and it felt so natural, 1399 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,600 Speaker 3: there was a bunch of comedians who were also mate, 1400 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 3: so I sort of you know that very much, I think, 1401 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 3: And why Kiwi's like it is it's very much like 1402 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 3: you together with your mates talking about what's happened during 1403 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 3: the week, and a lot of people see that, and 1404 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 3: I think going to how I could join in that 1405 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 3: conversation or I've had similar conversations with my friends. So 1406 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 3: I felt very natural from the get go. I think 1407 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 3: the over probably about season five is when we probably 1408 01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 3: read we could be a bit smarter about how we 1409 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 3: prepared it. We spent We spent that probably more time 1410 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 3: than we needed to pairing it in the early days. 1411 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 2: And you know, but that's that's a confidence thing, though, 1412 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 2: isn't it, Because you want to cover yourself. But once 1413 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 2: you get confident, you can start to wing it a 1414 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 2: bit a wee bit. 1415 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 3: More and everyone knows their jobs and their roles over 1416 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 3: and sort of does that and you can say, you 1417 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 3: know what, I don't really want to have a four 1418 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 3: hour meeting. I reckon we could do it in one. 1419 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 2: Has it ever been in jeopardy? And when COVID came 1420 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,840 Speaker 2: along and the whole media thing landscape changed and money 1421 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 2: dried up and people closed down and all that, has 1422 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 2: it ever been in trouble in that sense or not? 1423 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 3: It was. It was more difficult during COVID. You forget. 1424 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,440 Speaker 3: I saw a photo the other day and we we 1425 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 3: did it during COVID and there were certain rules, so 1426 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 3: we had between each you know, panelists, was a giant 1427 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 3: perspects screen between each each of the path It's like, 1428 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's like like in a car when 1429 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 3: it is because it's a bit like in a car 1430 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 3: when you've got you know, one climate for the passenger 1431 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 3: and one climate for yourself. The climates and there's no 1432 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 3: way that was going to say this from getting infected, 1433 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 3: but it was. It was a gesture I suppose to 1434 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 3: the to the you know, medical fraternity, that we were 1435 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 3: doing our best not to infect each other. That was 1436 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 3: probably the hardest time I know. There were other panel 1437 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 3: shows at the time that doing zoom calls from home 1438 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff, and so yeah, we 1439 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 3: we lasted through that, but was touch and go. 1440 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, mates, more questions in the moment. Jeremy 1441 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 2: Corbett's so on stage as part of the Weekend Laughs 1442 01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 2: Comedy Showcase over the summer period seven days more a 1443 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 2: mon but fourteen past. 1444 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1445 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1446 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:46,120 Speaker 9: At b. 1447 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,200 Speaker 2: U Talks at Me sixteen make it almost seventeen minutes past. 1448 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 2: Jeremy Corbyn's with us.

A further further and more disturbing 1483 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 2: news he quote unquote claimed he paid real money for it. 1484 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I hope it's comfortable, because I think when 1485 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,800 Speaker 3: I do the Radio Awards, I've got the easier job 1486 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 3: being in the wood. He's sitting there for a long time. 1487 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 3: They do take too long. I think we could trim them. 1488 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 2: Oh please do if Jeremy, if you can between now 1489 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 2: and when you host them on mid year, whenever they are, 1490 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,559 Speaker 2: if you can trim them down to nothing much more 1491 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 2: than sixty minutes, I'll personally arrange some sort of kingsonor 1492 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:06,640 Speaker 2: for you. 1493 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 3: I'll do them my best. 1494 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,639 Speaker 2: Do you reckon the stand up comedy thing you're doing? 1495 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 2: By the way, I thought about this yesterday when I 1496 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 2: was do you think about the economy at all? Who 1497 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,599 Speaker 2: else is in town, how many tickets are being sold, 1498 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 2: whether that will affect you? Does any of that go 1499 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 2: through your mind? It doesn't. 1500 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 3: You just do what you do, not particularly with these ones. 1501 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 3: But we did the Seven Days. We did a live 1502 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 3: tour at the end of last year in November, and 1503 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 3: it definitely thought about it then because ticket sales were 1504 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 3: down and I do feel it was a bit of 1505 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 3: cost of living fighting, and because the audiences that turned 1506 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 3: up were great. They were really into it, which said 1507 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 3: to me, they're people who are keen and really wanted 1508 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,920 Speaker 3: to buy a ticket. But those other people that might 1509 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 3: have sought of bought a ticket to see what it's about, 1510 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 3: they weren't doing that anymore. And we do have. I 1511 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 3: don't know what is about New Zealand. Maybe it's because 1512 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 3: we have some sort of cultural comedy link to the UK. 1513 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 3: A lot of British comedians come through and sweep through 1514 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 3: town and they talking to you, Jimmy Carr. But one 1515 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 3: of the funny ones was we were in Deneeden with 1516 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,759 Speaker 3: seven days and to be fair, the ticket sales weren't 1517 01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,680 Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't so it wasn't sold out. And 1518 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 3: we next morning we're outside the hotel and one of 1519 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 3: these guys says, oh, we went to Dave Dobbin last night. 1520 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 3: It was great, which is exactly sort of our demo. 1521 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 3: And then Dave Dobbin walks out of the hotel. So 1522 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 3: I bailed him up and I had a good word 1523 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 3: to him about not performing when we were in town, 1524 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 3: so he was sold out. I said, I bet you 1525 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 3: were good. 1526 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 2: On you good stuff.

Four dollars or four hundred 1565 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 2: Sorry now she shouldn't pay more than four dollars. That's 1566 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 2: ridiculous anyway. 1567 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 8: The funny actually currently wearing a belt. 1568 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 2: He's wearing a belt. 1569 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 8: I know. I am wearing a belt that I bought 1570 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 8: in Vietnam and. 1571 01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 2: We were at the spear leather from the brok very. 1572 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 8: Long time ago.

Yeah, 1574 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 2: something like that made in a day? No, no, no, it 1575 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:47,120 Speaker 2: was there in the. 1576 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 8: Shop and they literally put the belt and cut it 1577 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,920 Speaker 8: to length and put the buckle on it while I waited. 1578 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 2: So if you dressed up you could have ninety two 1579 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 2: dollars worth of vietnams. That's right, fine as Tylor. Mike 1580 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 2: was Jimmy Carr last night and hastings funny funny man 1581 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 2: with incredible wit. 1582 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 3: And speed to he is. 1583 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,720 Speaker 2: I'm a massive fan of Jimmy Cauff. Actually, the other 1584 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 2: thing about Sammy's back on the program this went he 1585 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 2: back from holiday. Not only did he bring back a suit, 1586 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 2: he brought back a bride which was incredibride to be, 1587 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 2: Oh bride to be Sorry, Yes, I mean it's it's 1588 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 2: bubbling away. She said, yes initially. 1589 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 8: But you know what, people to clarify, she's not tie 1590 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 8: or Vietnamese. No, that she was. 1591 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 2: Here before he went on holiday and she went with it. 1592 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 8: He took her with him. 1593 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they came back as a couple. So that's nice. 1594 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 2: And she said somebody said, was it Andrew Dickens who 1595 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,599 Speaker 2: said was she drunk? When she said yes? 1596 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:41,160 Speaker 4: Was that? 1597 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 2: I think I thought that was unfair. I thought that 1598 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,639 Speaker 2: was really unfair. Somebody else I think it was also 1599 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,800 Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens said, did you have a stunt ring, which 1600 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 2: I thought was probably not an unfair question. But Sammy 1601 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 2: went out and he went to Hoyan and the guy 1602 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,200 Speaker 2: who sold him a suit also does rings, and if 1603 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 2: you bought two pairs of pants, you've got a ring. 1604 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 2: And he paid a dollar twelve, so it all worked 1605 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,679 Speaker 2: out well. Anyway, News isn't next hered moves two. 1606 01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 1: Exceptly time fliers and only twice opinionated, informed, und apologetic. 1607 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,600 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast with the Defender embraced the impossible 1608 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:24,280 Speaker 1: news tonks'd be The doll. 1609 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,680 Speaker 2: Which is yet to close, is at six hundred and 1610 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 2: forty two up for the day, so she's in the 1611 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,400 Speaker 2: low forty nine thousands. And the reason I mentioned that 1612 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 2: is early on this morning, at about three o'clock this morning, 1613 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,080 Speaker 2: it was through the roof, and then it wasn't really 1614 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,639 Speaker 2: through the roof. And then because it was through the roof, 1615 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 2: because Trump decided he wasn't going to invade Greenland, not 1616 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,000 Speaker 2: that he ever was, but people don't seem to understand 1617 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 2: how we operate. Then he gave a speech said he 1618 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 2: wasn't going to invade, so it went through the roof. 1619 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,200 Speaker 2: Then it started to peter off. Then Ruth came out 1620 01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 2: and he goes, we will, we will support you, Donald, 1621 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 2: we will be there for you. Blah blah blah. Anyway 1622 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 2: on truth social At the moment they've got a framework 1623 01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 2: for Greenland. So surprise, surprise, there is no invasion, there 1624 01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 2: is no sale, there is no nothing meantime in dabos, 1625 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,600 Speaker 2: Nigel Farass right, wayden. 1626 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 15: Would America in Greenland be better for the world in 1627 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,559 Speaker 15: terms of safety and stronger for NATO? It would. However, 1628 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 15: if you believe in Brexit, and if you believe in 1629 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:22,559 Speaker 15: celebrating America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, if you believe 1630 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 15: in the nation state are not globalist structures. You believe 1631 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 15: in sovereignty. And if you believe in sovereignty, you believe 1632 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:35,679 Speaker 15: in the principle of national self determination. That's what you guys, 1633 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:40,160 Speaker 15: fought the British for your right of national self determination 1634 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 15: and you. 1635 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:46,040 Speaker 11: Won international correspondence with insign eye insurance, peace of mind 1636 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 11: for New Zealand business in Britain. 1637 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 2: Roblevel. 1638 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 3: How are you men? 1639 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,479 Speaker 7: Very well? That's Nigel typical very sin line. 1640 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 2: There isn't it, and yes it is. I want to 1641 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 2: come back to the polling just a moment of Nigel 1642 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,080 Speaker 2: Faras in general, but as far as Greenlanders can and 1643 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,639 Speaker 2: so as far as him not invading Greenland, as far 1644 01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 2: as this framework with water and NATO and all that 1645 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 2: sort of stuff, is that it or is there much 1646 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 2: more to come? And where does Britain fit in? 1647 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 16: Oh? 1648 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,200 Speaker 7: I think there's more to come, And I think it's 1649 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 7: it's all part of his general disenchantment with Europe, which 1650 01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 7: is a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want 1651 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,719 Speaker 7: to live there, you know, that kind of stuff, and 1652 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,040 Speaker 7: the off the cuff comments about you know, they've got 1653 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:30,920 Speaker 7: problems in London, they got problems in Great Britain. I 1654 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 7: think he ought to sort those out first, et cetera, 1655 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 7: et cetera. It's a real, real maga disdain for Europe, 1656 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,800 Speaker 7: and Greenland is the focus of it, but then the 1657 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 7: Chaglers Islands are also the focus of it. He is right, 1658 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 7: this is the problem. You can't put it all down 1659 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 7: to Trump being maniacal, because he is right about the 1660 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 7: Tagla Silands. You know, it's an appalling deal which we 1661 01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,240 Speaker 7: were ill advised to sign. It was got up an 1662 01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 7: idiot called David Lammie alf who was the Times of 1663 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 7: Foreign secretary. It was a catastrophe. So he is right 1664 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 7: about that. He's also, of course right that you know, 1665 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:15,720 Speaker 7: he's not quite He was rather echoing England football hooligans 1666 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,799 Speaker 7: when he said, if it wasn't for the Americans, who'd 1667 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 7: be all speaking German. A great chance that the English 1668 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 7: fans used to have when we were playing France or 1669 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 7: Belgium was if it wasn't for the British, you'd be croudsed, 1670 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 7: you know. So he is. He has portrayed himself exactly 1671 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:38,519 Speaker 7: in that bullet headed, rather far right wing, fascistic genre 1672 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 7: of people who just hate the hate Europeans. But the 1673 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 7: trouble is he is right fifty percent of the way. Yes, yes, 1674 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 7: that's the real problem. That is a real problem. If 1675 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 7: he was completely mad, it could be dealt with. But 1676 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 7: there is an element of truth in it. 1677 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 2: All said that to everyone who listen to me, this 1678 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 2: is why where he counted. The start of the conversation 1679 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 2: is always the bit that makes sense. The noise that 1680 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 2: comes afterwards is where you think he's lost the plot. 1681 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,200 Speaker 7: I think that's exactly right. I think that's exactly right, 1682 01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,480 Speaker 7: and that there is no question that it's a narcissist 1683 01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 7: probably a megal amania, probably all of those things which 1684 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,120 Speaker 7: a lot of the people flinging him. But there's also 1685 01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 7: the problem that down the line he's actually quite a 1686 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,720 Speaker 7: canny operator, and that on certain issues he's dead right, 1687 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 7: and he's right on the Chados Islands, He's he's a 1688 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:36,680 Speaker 7: quarter right on Greenland, I think, and he's kind of 1689 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,640 Speaker 7: three quarters right on the on the debauchery and degradation 1690 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:45,040 Speaker 7: of Europe, you know. So so it's it's not as 1691 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 7: easily dismissable well as the moron leader of Britain's Green Party, 1692 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 7: Zach Polanski thinks it should be, which is, we should 1693 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 7: evicted Americans from their bases in Great Britain. You know, 1694 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,519 Speaker 7: there is it plays to the far left, this stuff 1695 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 7: a lot. 1696 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chagos thing. Funnily enough, I was reading yesterday 1697 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 2: and Stamer was asked whether it's different. Is it different? 1698 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,000 Speaker 2: He says it is, and he's not changing his position. 1699 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:11,680 Speaker 2: Is it a done deal or not? 1700 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 7: Do you know? I was thinking that today. Theoretically it 1701 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,519 Speaker 7: is a dumb deal. Yes, it's going to go through 1702 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 7: the lords, et cetera, et cetera. But theoretically it's a 1703 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 7: done deal. But I wonder if there might be a 1704 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 7: bit of of rethinking about it. Trouble is, of course 1705 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,719 Speaker 7: Trump gave it the OKA a year ago, yes, exactly 1706 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 7: nine months ago, and he shouldn't have done it should 1707 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 7: have been but that was at a time when he 1708 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,680 Speaker 7: was being caught it very heavily by us, just as 1709 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 7: he will be very shortly. It looks as if it's 1710 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,560 Speaker 7: a done deal. You know, it's maybe just wish for 1711 01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 7: thinking on my part that I hope that it might 1712 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 7: not be. Even it's a disastrous deal. It's cost me 1713 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 7: and it plays to the hands of our enemies. 1714 01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:57,840 Speaker 2: Yes it does. 1715 01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 3: Now. 1716 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 2: The inflation I read the number early on it was 1717 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,640 Speaker 2: three point four I think from memory, I mean, was 1718 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 2: I right? Yeah, it's three point three and those three 1719 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 2: point four what's the problem? You don't seem to be 1720 01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:08,439 Speaker 2: on top of it. 1721 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 7: Well, we're told, and people who know more about economics 1722 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:18,680 Speaker 7: than me, which includes Kylie Jenner and most of the 1723 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 7: cast of neighbors by the way, they tell me that 1724 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:26,599 Speaker 7: it's all about the rise in tobacco prices. I'm not 1725 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 7: sure I buy that. I've you know, they have had 1726 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 7: a problem with inflation for the last thirteen fourteen months, 1727 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,920 Speaker 7: just as they've had a problem with trying to grow 1728 01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 7: the economy. They've tried to keep a lid on inflation 1729 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 7: and tried to grow the economy at the same time. 1730 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 7: Hasn't worked. I think there is some residual problem in 1731 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 7: there with inflation which the government has yet to sort out. 1732 01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,120 Speaker 7: And I don't quite buy that. Oh, it's just a 1733 01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 7: one off. It's just tobacco prices have risen. No nobody smokes, mate, 1734 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,879 Speaker 7: even I've given up and I kept Benson and Hatchets 1735 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 7: alive as a company for forty years. 1736 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 2: Only Mate, We'll see you next week. Appreciate it. Rod 1737 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 2: little on the program's Tuesdays and Thursdays, just to give 1738 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,679 Speaker 2: you the Trump update. I mean, can I just say, 1739 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:24,600 Speaker 2: on Monday, when I came back to wear for the 1740 01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 2: new year, did I or did I not say there 1741 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 2: will be no invasion of Greenland? In fact, was it Catherine? 1742 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 2: On Tuesday? I said, from the side of the world, Catherine, 1743 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 2: does it seem to me that a deal will be done? 1744 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,640 Speaker 2: It will all sort ourselves out in the end. And 1745 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:44,360 Speaker 2: she she had that sort of that in earth throat 1746 01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,559 Speaker 2: that suggested I was some sort of idiot anyway on 1747 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,799 Speaker 2: truth social just moments ago, based upon a very productive 1748 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 2: meeting that I've had with the Secretary General of NATO, 1749 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,680 Speaker 2: we have formed the framework of a future deal with 1750 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 2: respect to Greenland and in fact the entire Arctic region. 1751 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 2: Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the 1752 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 2: tariffs that were scheduled to go into affect February. The 1753 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,759 Speaker 2: first additional discussions are being held concerning the Golden Dome 1754 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 2: as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made 1755 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 2: available as discussions progress. So Taco Thursday, Taco Thursday. So 1756 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 2: can we just once and for all learn the lesson 1757 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 2: that what he says ninety nine point nine nine recurring 1758 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:32,599 Speaker 2: percent at the time does not come to pass, So 1759 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:37,479 Speaker 2: stop freaking out. Eight forty five The. 1760 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 1: Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1761 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 1: News Talks at B is a. 1762 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 2: Guy called Gary Cohne. He's IBM's vice chairman, but a 1763 01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,720 Speaker 2: couple of years ago he was the director of the 1764 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 2: White House National Economic Council. He said, a couple of 1765 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 2: days ago, he said, this is all tactics, It's all 1766 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:57,800 Speaker 2: just negotiation. Are quote unquote maybe part of a negotiations, 1767 01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,280 Speaker 2: simple as that, And why more people don't under stand 1768 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,160 Speaker 2: that gibbing. He he literally does the same trick every 1769 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 2: single time. By the way, speaking of Trump, just quickly 1770 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,919 Speaker 2: this time Yesterday is alerting you to the Bannon interview 1771 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,160 Speaker 2: which is in the Sydney Morning Herald. For some reason, 1772 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,639 Speaker 2: Steve Bannon talked to the Sydney Morning Herald to mark 1773 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,840 Speaker 2: the one year anniversary of Trump and he said some 1774 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 2: interesting things, one of which was that Trump will be 1775 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,800 Speaker 2: running in twenty twenty eight. The other thing they seem 1776 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 2: to be drip feeding the interview out and installments. Yesterday's 1777 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 2: installment was how gear strategic Australia was in the Indo Pacific. 1778 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,400 Speaker 2: They are a lynch pin and by association, I guess 1779 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,920 Speaker 2: they would see us kindly or favorably, the Americans being 1780 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 2: the Indo Pacific and our role in it versus America's 1781 01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 2: role in it, versus China's role in it. He's a 1782 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 2: big fan of Ucus Orcus. He thinks will go ahead 1783 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:44,599 Speaker 2: and there will be submarines and they will become real 1784 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 2: because you know, China's on the march, et cetera, et cetera. 1785 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 2: But I do recommend it because Bannon. Say whatever you 1786 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,759 Speaker 2: want about Bannon he is at least close to Trump 1787 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 2: and does have an understanding of what goes through his mind. 1788 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,960 Speaker 2: Just back to another thing I mentioned earlier and forgot 1789 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 2: to get back to. But Tony Alexander read the one 1790 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 2: thing in the Herald, So Tony's going on. There's two 1791 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 2: things related. But thing number one why is the New 1792 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 2: Zealand dollar and the toilet. So he explains why. It's 1793 01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 2: fairly obvious as to why. But if you don't know, 1794 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,440 Speaker 2: then read it. He explains it very very well. More important, 1795 01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,599 Speaker 2: is it reasonable to expect a rise backup up ninety 1796 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,120 Speaker 2: two cents anytime soon to the Australian dollars currently sitting 1797 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 2: in a five to eighty six. It's a mnemic, it's pathetic, 1798 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,800 Speaker 2: it's embarrassing, it's a joke. And unfortunately the answer is no. 1799 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 2: And this is what worries me. A sustained interest rate 1800 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 2: advantage to the Australian dollar over twenty twenty six and 1801 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, he sees, so it would not be 1802 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,519 Speaker 2: reasonable to expect much recovery in the New Zealand v 1803 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 2: Australia until twenty eight. The message for kiwis contemplating a 1804 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,559 Speaker 2: shift to Australia is that you will have to get 1805 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 2: used to your monetary assets not buying as many Australian dollars. 1806 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 2: So his article is predicated on the idea of all 1807 01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,479 Speaker 2: the New Zealand as he left to Australia. Did they 1808 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 2: realize how they were not going to get much once 1809 01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,519 Speaker 2: they arrived in Australia financially speaking, But just for the 1810 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,719 Speaker 2: rest of us in terms of you know, our place 1811 01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:08,880 Speaker 2: in the world, our dollar in the world, our economy 1812 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 2: in the world. Where once we sat at ninety four, five, 1813 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:14,960 Speaker 2: six seven something like that Australia, now it's at eighty 1814 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 2: mid eighties. Is it getting rectified? He says no. Read 1815 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,040 Speaker 2: the whole thing and weep nine to nine. 1816 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 1: The make Asking Breakfast with a Veta Retirement Communities News 1817 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:27,600 Speaker 1: togstad Be. 1818 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 2: Yesterday I alerted due to the fact that the Coalition 1819 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 2: in Australia, we spoke about it with Steve Price as well, 1820 01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,800 Speaker 2: the Coalition and Australia were once again splintering. It appeared 1821 01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 2: yesterday that this is the coalition as in the Libs 1822 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 2: in the National Party hate speech and gun laws, both 1823 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 2: of which have now passed. Nationals problematic with the gun 1824 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 2: laws and three of them voted against it. Now, the 1825 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 2: problem being because they're on the front bench, the rules 1826 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,679 Speaker 2: are that if you vote against your party then you've 1827 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 2: sort of got to quit. So we were standing by 1828 01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 2: for three people to quit yesterday and that's bad enough. 1829 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,559 Speaker 2: Between when I was telling you this and what happened 1830 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 2: last night, ten of them quit and so basically the 1831 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:13,480 Speaker 2: coalition is no more. It's a complete and utter, unmitigated disaster. 1832 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 2: So if you remember after the election where they got pasted, 1833 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 2: they sort of split then and then they kind of 1834 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 2: came back together, and then the gun thing came along 1835 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,679 Speaker 2: along with the hate speech post Bondi and the Nationals 1836 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 2: once again couldn't back the guns for obvious reasons because 1837 01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:31,160 Speaker 2: they represent the country, et cetera. So they voted against, 1838 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,000 Speaker 2: and then voting against they break the rules, and breaking 1839 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,400 Speaker 2: the rules, they quit. So there is no longer a 1840 01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:39,679 Speaker 2: coalition in what the Australian media are calling the biggest 1841 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,639 Speaker 2: crisis and conservative politics for a generation. So that will 1842 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 2: and there may be more today. So by the time 1843 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 2: we get to Murray tomorrow, there may be no coalition 1844 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 2: left and no National Party. And Pauline Hanson once again 1845 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,120 Speaker 2: goes up even higher in the polls five away from. 1846 01:27:56,080 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Nine trending now to chemist Wells Savings every day. 1847 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 2: We've got what they're calling the best hot mic moment 1848 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 2: of the year. There's a guy called Tim Saunders. He's 1849 01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 2: the Philly Flyers. So we're talking about the hockey. Take 1850 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 2: we're talking about the hockey NHL. He's their radio play 1851 01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 2: by play announcer. He's doing a game. This is back 1852 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 2: in December. Mike got left on accidentally get a sense 1853 01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 2: of urgency when they're playing from behind. 1854 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 8: Now they're going to take the TV Tim out. We'll 1855 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 8: take it as well. 1856 01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 7: Seven gone in the third. 1857 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 2: It is three two Buffalo in the Philadelphia Flyers broadcast network. 1858 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,800 Speaker 2: Now as costar has just got this pen under the 1859 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:41,200 Speaker 2: table and sent down to take it up. 1860 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,360 Speaker 8: While you're down there, would your mind bow on me? 1861 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 8: I think we're still on the air champ floor. 1862 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:57,800 Speaker 14: Not are we? 1863 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 10: Yes? 1864 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 3: You are so? 1865 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 2: Anyway, he got suspended for two games for that. That 1866 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 2: was the end of that. John Harbor, speaking of American sport, 1867 01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 2: got named as the Giants coach yesterday New York Giants. Useless, 1868 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 2: beyond useless. I'm just fascinated by it because of this 1869 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 2: whole razor slash Tony Brown slash Jamie Joseph slash Rugby 1870 01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 2: Union slash I don't know who we're going to get 1871 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 2: next to coach the all black scenario that got going 1872 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 2: at the moment. So Harbor got sacked by a team 1873 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 2: called the Baltimore Ravens. Harbor would be as in demand 1874 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:35,679 Speaker 2: as Jamie Joseph or Tony Brown. So anyway he picks, 1875 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 2: he could have any team he wants, and there are 1876 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,479 Speaker 2: eight or nine teams looking for a bloke to lead them. 1877 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 2: So he picks the most useless one. And they are 1878 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 2: like fantastically useless. They're one of the original teams of 1879 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 2: one of the old teams. They're one of the legendary teams, 1880 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,400 Speaker 2: but they haven't played proper football for Lord, certainly not 1881 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,439 Speaker 2: in my lifetime anyway. Point being, it's the great test, 1882 01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 2: isn't it. At that part of his career, after eighteen 1883 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 2: glorious seasons, one of the most successful people in American 1884 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 2: sport taken on one of the great turnaround jobs of 1885 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,120 Speaker 2: all time, a make or break, and I like people 1886 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,639 Speaker 2: are into that sort of stuff. Now back tomorrow morning 1887 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 2: from six as always Friday morning, Leo week one just 1888 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,759 Speaker 2: like that boom before he darts.
