Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the re Wrap for Thursday. All
the best bets from the mic Husking Breakfast on News
Dogs Edby and a Sillier package. I am Glen Hart
and today Fonterra is selling off the stuff that isn't milk?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Is that what we want them to do?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
This signal scandal keeps scandaling in the US, with various
Trump acolytes in.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Hot water for.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We'll find out if they war plans that got shared
with a journalist or exactly what they were maybe. But
first up, poor old Liam Lawson looks like he's been
demoted and there's been outrage across the nation.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Problem with this red Bullam Lawson thing is several fold.
One the most egregious part, obviously, as I mentioned a
moment ago, is these reports that hond is offering another
ten million to get their Mansonoda in the seat. I
appreciate what Chris says, it isn't new though they've offered
the ten million previously, and we know that to be true.
Two next weekend would be the first track Liam's actually
driven on previously. Red Bull would have known that when
(01:28):
they hired him to have two races on unknown tracks.
That's tough. Three they hang in with other drivers who
have struggled a lot longer than two races, So suddenly
the harshness has reached a new level and probably reflects
an internal level of panic given the performance of the
other teams. And four, they know Liam can actually drive
the car. They saw it, they tested them, he can
do it, so they're not guessing. They took a punt
(01:50):
on him, but not a blind punt, so you then
have to look at the damage you're doing too a
young driver, and it's confidence. I mean, yes, he's still
an F one. Yes, the Racing Bulls are improving on
what they did last year, but he will think about
it this way. He will never win, mainly because Racing
Bulls is a feeder team to Red Bull, so they're
not allowed to win. Red Bull also carry responsibility for
building a cart that doesn't work. I mean even as
(02:11):
as was mentioned a moment ago, even Maxvstappan, who is
the driver of his generation, is having trouble. So Liam
goes to a midfield team to do what hopefully perform
well to then be lured away. I would hope to
somebody who can offer the prospect of better returns as
exciting as living an F one Dreamers turning up every
weekend to come thirteenth can't be that much fun after
(02:32):
a while. The cutthroat part, though, I mean, I suppose
you can argue that's life. The good thing about motor
racing is they've been in it since they were kids.
They've been schooled in winning and losing, in victory and failure.
Liam's had helmet Marco and his ear forever. It's a tough,
unforgiving business. But that's the keyword business. They aren't in
it because they like you. They are in it to
(02:52):
use your talent for as long as you are useful.
The reward is if you're good, you get rich and
famous and collect trophies and buy a place in Monaco
and live your dream. If you're okay, you drive an
LP or sober, travel the world, get moderately wealthy. It
ain't over, of course, but your heart goes out, doesn't it.
To work? Bloke who was that close and seems sadly
(03:13):
to be on the end of some very poor management
some ruthless ethics in the cold reality of elite sport.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I do want if this was an all Black who
had had two terrible games in a row, we'd be
calling for his head, wouldn't we. We'd be replacing him
with Damien McKenzie.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Or something we rewrapp. Meanwhile, Fontierra.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Everything relies on Fonterra as far as that can work out.
But they want to sell off some of their bits,
and Mike, I don't think once them too.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yes, Fonterra they gave us the half year profit the
other day, and this is a company we should all
be pleased for in celebrating at the moment. Of course,
the dairy story against the backdrop of broader economic darkness
for this country is not to be underestimated. The billions
of being poured into the country is more than welcome.
At the farm gate prices at a midpoint of ten dollars,
which is amazing for farmers and all the downstream businesses
that collect a bit of that income. But as for
(04:07):
the company itself, if you look at the numbers, you
will see what they call the consumer channel. That's the
stuff that they sell at the shop as opposed to
the bulk stuff they sell like whole milk powder. The
consumer channel is things you will know and having your
basket at the supermarket anchor Mainland fresh and fruity capity.
The numbers for this division for the half year volumes
are up eight and a half percent. They had margin growth,
(04:28):
that's profit. Over all. The profit was one hundred and
seventy three million dollars. This is a good business, and
good businesses are doing well. Why do I mention this
well because they're wanting to get out of that particular business.
They want to sell it or float it. They've decided
that others can do it better. This, as I've said before,
and I'm taking the opportunity given the result, to say
it again is a mistake. The numbers show you it
(04:50):
is not a troubled business. They are not sinking or
losing money or having problems being profitable. They know what
they are doing. It is also a related business. It's
not like they do whole milk powder and coat hangers.
It's all dairy related. The problem with getting rid of
something that you've decided you don't want is regret. What
they have is valuable brands, it's loyalty, it's patriotism. It's
(05:10):
a good news story, performing well, flicking something to pocket
the cash super easy, but you run the risk of regret.
And here's the thing, there are many people with vastly
more experienced than me in these areas that argue exactly
the same. If Fontira can line all the doubters up,
pitch their case and change minds, fine, But they haven't
done that yet, so the question is still very much alive.
(05:30):
Are they on the verge of making a very big
and expensive mistake.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think they're selling their ice cream?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Why would you sell your ice cream?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Come on, that's just madness.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Now, we spend quite a lot of this morning monitoring
what's been going on in Washington, DC because of these
idiots who are supposed to basically have the fate of
the Western world basically in the palms of their hands,
(06:03):
just sharing all their war staff with a random journo.
But they are saying that none of the stuff is
that secret.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Really back to the White House where miss Lebbett's going
for it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
There's arguably no one in the media who loves manufacturing
and pushing hoaxes more than Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg is an
anti Trump hater. He is a registered Democrat. Goldberg's wife
is also a registered Democrat and a big Democrat donor
who used to work under who Hillary Clinton. This is
the same Jeffrey Goldberg who infamously lied about weapons of
(06:39):
mass destruction to get us into the Iraq War, which
costs trillions of dollars in thousands of American soldiers.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Just let me read you one of the messages from Higsseeth.
Were they war plans or not? They said yesterday no
war plans message sent eleven forty four am Eastern Time.
Whether it is favorable just confirmed w slash sentcom we
are go for mission launch. Sounds relatively secret to me.
(07:08):
Sounds like a warplan. Call me old fashioned, but that
sounds like a warplan.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I mean, there's there's stuff in there about what kind
of planes they are that are dropping going to be
dropping the bombs.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I'm going to let you know exactly when the bombs
will drop. I mean, I get I guess I post
that kind of thing all the time. Now that I
think of it, it's a rewrap. I say, man, wait,
do you hear my bomb drop? Is that what I say?
That's not quite what I say? Anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
One of the major players in question is, of course
Pete Higgsyth. He was in Hawaii for some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Higgsith is in Hawaii at the moment. He's come out
and he said, it's all my fault. I didn't know
what I was doing. I'm dreadfully sorry. I'm an incompetent.
I quit.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Nobody's texting war plans. I noticed this morning.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Help came something that doesn't look like war plans. And
as a matter of fact, they even change the title
to a tech plans because they know it's not warplans.
There's no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths,
no sources, no methods, no classified information.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You know who sees war plans.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I see them every single day.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I looked at him this morning.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Whether it's favorable, just confirmed w centcom we go for
mission launch. What a bunch of lies. I suppose the
plan is that if they say it long enough, it's
think people will believe them. He's not even doing this job.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
My job, as it's said at top of that, everybody's
seen it now. Team Update is to provide updates in
real time, general updates in real time, keep everybody informed.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what I did. That's my job.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
So it just to be clear.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He didn't share warplanes, he didn't share tech planes. These
were general updates, and you can't classify a general update
the re wrap.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Should we do one more head on this? Why not?
Let's do one more head. I mean, I'm enjoying it
so much.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And this is not at the behest of my far
left overlords, as one texture this morning claimed I had.
I can assure you of all the overlords I've met,
none of them have been particularly left leaning in my experience.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
They certainly don't lean as left as I do. That's
for sure.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
On the Hill this morning, So this is Jimmy Gomez
and he's asking Tulsey Gabbard, who seems to have been
in the firing line for about two days now, probably
feels like three weeks. John Ratcliff is there. Retclip is
the head of the CIA. The question is, were the
hig Seth who has form on this, had been drinking
when he texted the war plans her knowledge?
Speaker 8 (09:58):
Do you know whether Peter Hester had been drinking before
he leave classified information? I don't have any knowledge of
Secretary Hagsath's personal habits. Director Radcliffe same question, yes or no.
Speaker 9 (10:16):
You know, no, I'm going to answer that. I think
that's an offensive line of question. The answer is no.
I find it interesting that you want to know. I'm
going to answer.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You answer a question you want to answer.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
O listen, you don't want to focus on the good
work that the CIA is doing, that the intelligence community.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Director, I reclaim my time, Director, I reclaim my time here.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I have huge.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Respect for the CIA, huge respect for men and women
in uniform. But this was a question that's on the
top of minds of every American.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
So I went on answered. But he did say Redcliffe
that one of the participants he was on that chat
that predecisional strike deliberation should be conducted through classified channels.
So it's a it's a remarkable thing that we're witnessing
because you've got several problems. Problem number one, they were
doing what they were doing anyway, and that was bad enough.
Problem number two, they lied about it. Problem number three,
(11:11):
when they lied about it and got busted, they then
still run this line about how it's this poor SAPs
problem at the atlant.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, I love how they accuse Jeffrey Goldberg of Goldberg
Goldstein JG. Anyway, as he's now known of starting the
golf war as well, because yeah, I don't think he's
single hendly responsible somehow, but anyway, fun.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
To watch from here.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It's only the like I said, it's only the fate
of the free world at stake.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I am Glen Hart.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That was the rewrap, and we'll just see how that
free world's going again about this time tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I'll see then.
