You're trusted home for news, sport, entertainment, o Finion and
Mike the Mic, Asking, Breakfast with a Veda, Retirement, Communities, Life,
Your Way, News, togs Head beats All.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Are you welcome today? Fic fury enters at second week.
Questions around winning of prices here start to rise because
of it, the Prime Minister's in being a Monday, of course,
the Lands and the commentary box Richard Arnold, Steve Price
for you as well tasking Now welcome to the week
seven past six. Obviously we'll get to the war and
obviously we'll deal with the storm in a very small
tea cup. That was that luxe and beat up on Friday.
But first the real news. How good are the warriors

(00:35):
thrashing anyone? So what are your KPIs at the start
of the season. Well, obviously being at home with another
twenty five thousand having handed over their hard earned you
want to start with a victory. From there, you might
want to look at a solid victory, and if the
stars are re aligned to the windows in the right direction,
you might just want to go to town and put
some poor sucket of the sword. And so it was
for the opener of twenty six. Andrew Webster said twenty

(00:56):
on the show last week. When we asked about his
levels of optimism, he laughed, of course the time, but
then he clearly knew something. The usual suspects turned up
Harris to eat, to Boyd Forden and further good news.
We did it, of course without metcalf. See if last
year fell apart a little bit when he left, how
much better is it going to be when he turns
back up And to Marie Martin of course. Anyway, for now,
in a very long season which a lot of stuff

(01:17):
will inevitably happen that you never saw coming, all you
can ever ask as you come out of the gates
with a sense of professional asm, organization and execution. Overall,
we are, I think the best place we've been for years.
The coach is good, the roster's solid's got some depth.
We've recruited as well as you might hope for on
a side that's on the wrong side of the Tasman
for many. The fan base is as rock solid as
ever and we have a perfect record. Some people mention

(01:39):
the draw Roosters Raiders Knights, which is another upside the
rooster's good sight. Top eighteen nice way to test yourself
in the early part of the season. If we beat
the Raiders, then that presumably shuts up the doubters, of which,
as always, there will be some. And yes, in a
season that goes well into September, there is a lot
to unfold. We will win in a way that sends
you to delirium. We will lose to teams we shouldn't

(02:02):
lose to. We might wabble, but it will be a ride.
And isn't that the joy of the warriors? For now?
It's as good as it gets. A chuck threshing. This
ride here, right now is.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
News of the world in ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
One of the odd things about epic fury over the
weekend was the Iranian president who apologized to the Gulf
States for attacking them, or did.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
He We simply feel sorry for the dear people in
the region who may be worried because of this concept.
But those who attacked us from their territory will naturally
receive a response, and we will respond with strength.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Certainly.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
The bombing Israel here you have the debris from what
we understand was a collision between an Israeli interceptor and
a miss ALB.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Remarkably, no one was injured here.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
As far as propaganda goes, Iranians have hit the US
telly spooking the fact that Russians were on this side.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Do you have a strategic partnership with Russia? The military
cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new, It's
not a secret. It has been in the past and
it's staying there and will continue in the future.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
And the other propaganda wars between Trump and Starma. Give
me the overre you sent to empery of carriers.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Maybe maybe when then Ature just went out of response
and they.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Said we don't need them, it would have been nice
to have had a two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
British Foreign Secretary has been rolled out to return fire.

Speaker 8 (03:37):
I think the point is to make sure that actually
we learn the lessons from some of the things that
went wrong in Iraq, and I think that is exactly
what Kirstar has done.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
And then from the old sports fild Sky in Britain
has been investigating Rock in regards its views on football.

Speaker 9 (03:52):
What we've uncovered is Grop producing racist hate field commentaries
about Hinduism and Islam, blaming Manchester United fans, blaming Liverpool
fans and Rangers fans falsely for stadium disasters.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Finally, while we're on aianthropics, Claude could be coming to
life now. Claud has begun. Claus begun showing suns of anxiety,
haven't we all? And may or may not have gained consciousness.
They don't know what it could mean for a model
to be conscious, but they're open to it. Sounds freaky.
There's news of Lord ninety. What can I update you

(04:28):
with the jobs? Griggle do the jobs. This is the
non fun pay rolls in America. It was a disaster,
so oil's up into ninety and the jobs aren't good.
So we'll work you through the implications of that. He
did get Trump the vote he wanted. The Senate rejected
the Democrat thing to stop the war, and then they
had a vote on the House two twelve to two nineteen,
so the Republicans won that one. So so far, so good.

(04:50):
Eleven plus six.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
How if my news talks, it'd be.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Cricket's over.

Speaker 10 (05:06):
Pecan and the dip and it's all done. Actually it's India.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
When the world come qu.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
A tot time that's so thrashing if you missed it.
Twenty billion dollar reinsurance they're trying. The Americans are starting
to worry about oil, so International Development Finance Corporation losses
up to twenty billion, so they hope that will help.
And then they announced that thirty day waiver for the
Indian so they can go back to buying oil from
Russia to try and loosen things up as well. So

(05:33):
these are interesting times. Fifteen past six.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Break it from General Race Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Grigsmith, how are you good morning, Mike. Yeah, that's job's number.
That was a shocker, wasn't it.

Speaker 11 (05:44):
Absolutely Yeah, all things considered, they'll have to say to you,
SYDSES did held up really well last week, and despite
the decision or plus, which we'll get to in a minute,
but yeah, the US economy lost ninety two thousand jobs
in December. That's the worst and four months and a
big mess versus the spectations were a gain, the third
time in five months that jobs have declined. And also

(06:04):
the revisions might so January was revised slightly lower, but
December was revised down by sixty five thousand to a
loss of seventeen thousand jobs. This weakness has been brewing
for a while. Unemployment rate that ticked up to four
point four percent. Participation rate people looking for work fell
as sixty two percent. That's its lowest since twenty twenty one.
So yeah, US workers are stepping back from the job.

(06:25):
There were a few mitigating reasons. Mike Weather was one
or that affected leisure, hospitality, and construction. There was a
healthcare strike run About thirty one thousand physicians walked off
the job at a major provider in the second lost
job the first time since January twenty two, and healthcares
obviously been a reliable source of jobs. Has the government.
Of course, there's been a clamp down there as well,

(06:47):
with federal job cuts, immigration also having an impact, and aid.
We say productivity gains are driving leaners staff levels, particularly
in the tech sector, and that's been losing jobs for
a year. Ritually strong long term uneployment job jump there.
My ever job was spelled twenty five point seven weeks.
It's the longest since December twenty twenty one. Basically, it's

(07:10):
all contrast with recent data des the labor market was
finding its footing, so that's not really happening, and the
consumer was weakening as well. It seems retail sales they
were down point two percent in January, So.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
Mike all a bit tricky for the feed.

Speaker 11 (07:21):
Obviously we've got energy prices rising as well, soak inflation.
But markets of cast their view, they've bought Ford expectations
for rate cuts to July and the greater chance of
two cuts before year end.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Right, So where are we going with oil this week?

Speaker 11 (07:36):
We said a weekend is going to be a big
swing factor and we've certainly got that in spade. So
WTI crude all up thirty five percent last week, up
twelve percent on Friday. It's now over nine. Was a
barrel remember it started around about sixty seven a barrel
before the conflict. When all know it's the straight up
the moves. Twenty percent of global all goes through there.
That's not moving millions of barrels being stuck there in

(07:59):
the Gulf. So you've got a right club cut by
one point five million bells. Kuate trimming output, Qatar reckons
golf export is going to have to declear force from dure.
Some ships might are getting through, but they're the ones
identifying as Chinese even when they're not. But Obviously that's
not a trick that everyone can use. But yeah, ninety
percent of runs oil goes through China. It still needs revenues.

(08:19):
That's why they're probably getting a bit of a sight
of through. The other is sue, of course, as you mentioned,
is insurance. Now Trump has stepped up with this twenty
billion dollar reinsurance program. But yeah, we've got the monetary
risk covered then't we But the physical risk is still there,
it seems. So He's talked about the US Navy providing escorts,
but it's not really that practical. So before this all
kicked off, he had around about sixty tankers using the

(08:42):
straight each day. The US Navy they've got over four
hundred ships, but only about fifty operation. All of them
are in port or on training, and they've got less
than twenty in the region. So yeah, near term it's
looking a bit tricky in terms of getting things moving
all price, of course, that's going to have an impact
for US. So I see your petrol prices are up.
They're three bucks a leter in some regions they could

(09:02):
go high. Of course, we close marks and point in
the Ministry of Business and Innovation, employments set over the
weekend that were down to around twenty five days of
fuel supply, so of course there will be other impacts
as well, so main fatz MD. He said over the
weekend the price of everything attached fuel will rise, including
freight flights and every day good So yeah, fingers crossed
the strait can get moving so.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Much exactly now loftansa which was a very good result
because we can't get on a plane fast enough. How
much of the Middle East was in that announcement.

Speaker 11 (09:30):
Yeah, absolute, a bit of an outlok. The actual result
four year result was strong, and we've been talked about
how global year travel was roaring. So four year revenues
up five percent to a record thirty nine point six billion,
hundred and thirty five million passengers over the year. A
praying profit that was up nineteen percent two billion dollars.
But yeah, they said a bit of an understanding of
course that the war in the Middle East has made
the outlook more and soon and heavy reliance on golf

(09:53):
travel is a geopolitical achilles Heel for the sector. So
one of interesting obbs of They said that fights over
the past week to Asia and Africa have actually been surging,
so they're actually looking at putting on extra flights to
destinations such as Singapore, India, China and the light. But yeah,
they're certainly going to be feeling in their cost based
They can huge field to a certain extent Kenny lines,

(10:16):
but it certainly doesn't remove the impact, just delays it
a bit. So investors, they erected last week Aline shear
is under pre pressure. Liftans itself was down about five
five percent. You know, the airlines and British Ways owner
were down seven percent. In New Zealand down around eight
percent last week. That's the lowest since we shut the borders.
So certainly having an impact. And I suppose what it

(10:37):
also means, Mike, at some point is a fares are
going to rise and that's going to start having travelers.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
As well and their numbers please.

Speaker 11 (10:44):
So the US market actually had it pretty well all
things considered, given the conflict. I think it's a bit
of a disconnect. Basically, I think investors as scenes as
a relatively short conflict and certainly not prolonged. So Dow
Jones was down one percent full seven five oh one
on Friday s and P five hundred was down one
with three percent six seven forty, down just two percent
for the week. NASDAK two two three eight seven, down

(11:05):
one point six percent on Friday, but down just one
point two percent for the week. You have companies like
Microsoft on the up forty one hundred, down one point
two percent on Friday, nick A up point six percent,
ASEX two hundred down one percent. In the X fifty,
we were down point seven percent, down one and a
half percent for the week. Oil has mentioned that was
on the charge up twelve percent, ninety spot ninety gold

(11:27):
ninety bucks five one seven one. Currency markets key, we
fairly fled against the US fifty eight point nine eight
against the Australian dollar, were slightly lower eighty three point
nine to three. British pound forty four even down point
three percent. Japanese gen ninety three point one that was
up point two percent this week. We see plenty going on.
We've got some manufacturing sales numbers, business PI visit arrivals

(11:47):
in New Zealand. We've got China trade data that will
be closely scrutinized. We've got inflation in the US GDP
as well. In consumer conference. We've got some company earnings
as well. Mike Lett Packard Oracle, Adobe.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
And Ali Barb.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Of course, all eyes are.

Speaker 11 (12:02):
Going to be on the Middle East, and of course
we let's strike its further.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Go well, Greg Smith from Generate Wealth and Key, we
save a specialist tasking wis Ree. Speaking of insurance, they're reinsurance.
They posted a profit a four point eight billion, which
is a very good number, of course, and I'm reading
this morning that commercial insurance in this country, the premiums
are expected to keep falling, so that's encouraging. And home insurance,
which is most of us, are going to be staying
low for now. So there's one part of life that's

(12:27):
getting slightly cheaper. So we'll take that. Six twenty two
at news.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Talk z B, the Vike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast
on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
At B, we're going to start to get a bit
of this, Mike. The latest conflict is really going to
highlight why we need to be refining our own oil
from our own oil well, so we can be self
sufficient and keep the country running on the lights and well,
twenty five days, I wouldn't get I wouldn't get too
nervous just yet. I mean, there's pain at the pub bobviously,
but I don't think we're going to be running out
six twenty five.

Speaker 12 (12:59):
Trending now with the ms well House and you're home
of Sports and Nutrition.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Just beforeteen thirty Sunday morning in La as we speak,
another beautiful so kel all day. So they're holding the
La Marathon, which is one of the top ten most
famous in the world. Overnight they've quietly, though, added some
new rules to the website. Now that's caught the eye
of reporter and former iron Man Matthew seedor.

Speaker 13 (13:19):
This is the organizer website. It says having a tough day.
If you're having a tough day and want to end
your race before twenty six point two, you can choose
to take the turn at mile eighteen and head into
the finish line. Now, organizers say you don't need to
notify anyone about your decision to stop at mile eighteen.
This option, though, is available for this year only, as
you will still receive your finish, your medal and any

(13:40):
challenge medal you've earned, and your official race results will
be updated on a later date.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
So that's finishing twelve who ain't kill a meters early
and you still get your finish your Meddle, and the
reason for this is the weather. So this year it's
expected to get as high as eighty eight fahrenheit, which
is thirty one of our money in the organizers, you
know what they're like in sokell they don't know that
you can handle that sort of heat and running a marathon. Mike,
I have an upcoming journey to Asia Economy up to

(14:05):
Singapore and back from Bangkok. Cost a thirty two hundred
and twenty dollars booked a month ago. Looked again last night,
the same journey exactly, the same specific fare, et cetera,
has gone up three hundred dollars of eight percent, same
fair as two years ago as twenty four hundred. I
was talking to a like who's going up to London.
I can't remember whether it's this week or next. He
was going first class on Emirates to London, which is

(14:26):
normally about nineteen or twenty thousand dollars. So he's canned
that obviously, rebooked himself business Auckland and New York, New
York to London and he's gone back down to America.
So another way's going around the world in business. Normally
he can do business around the world at about twelve
thirteen thousand dollars. Thirty five is paying so at least
he can get a seat. But thirty five or thirty

(14:46):
five now, speaking of money, I mean people can afford
that sort of front into the plane. Nonsenses of course,
your farmer who's getting three hundred and something on thousand
dollars because the sale is through, it's official if on
Terra sold the commercial side of the equation. So where's
all that money go? What's it do for the economy?
Have a look at this in just a couple of moments.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to
Mike the Mic asking breakfast with Ranger of a sport
SV the Ultimate Performance SUV News togs eDV con.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
You assume the Americans are going to send some ground
Diish type troops, commandos and to grab the nuclear stuff
in theory. Anyway, Richard Arnold has the latest on that
for us this morning, twenty three to seven. Back home,
the deal's done. Fontira's consumer brands sailed to like tylus
or Lacta Leese is unconditional four point two billion average
farm against three hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. John Stevenson,
Fontira Cooperative for Council chair is back with there's John

(15:39):
morning to you, Good morning mine. That final boat that
was held the other day was ninety something percent. I
mean the seemingly now know and unhappy, everyone's laughing. It
all worked out well in the end.

Speaker 14 (15:50):
Yeah, I think you know, farmers are really really happy
with the outcome and you simply saw that in the
in the vote. And there's no doubt it's a good
time to be a Fonterra fan at.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
The moment that is true. What do you reckon actually
drive the vote? Was it money or logic? The logic
of the sale.

Speaker 14 (16:05):
Our farmers certainly engaged heavily in the discussions leading up
to the vote, and I think it's important to note
that the second vote was a confirmation of the payment.
The first vote that we had towards the end of
last year was was heavily based on the rationale. So
you know, farmers a long term and thinking and really
engaged in that process and asking your questions.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Good, what's the feel around the money? If you're getting
three sixty, what are you doing with that?

Speaker 14 (16:31):
I think it's important to note there's varying degrees of
seholding amongst our farmers. But you know, we trade on
international markets. There's always volatility and what we do. But
the confidence that that money's coming is really reassuring to farmers.
There's no shortage of suitors for their capitals. But you know,
certainly what I'm hearing is that farms are they're often

(16:52):
generational investments, and farmers love reinvesting into their own businesses.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's encouraging the auction so far this year five from five.
What do you make of it? I mean, is there
any end to this?

Speaker 15 (17:04):
Well?

Speaker 14 (17:04):
I think you know, as I mentioned, it's a certainly
a volatile place out there in the world. But at
the moment that you know, farmers are really encouraged by
those five positive options following the run of negative options
at the end of last year. So you know, we'll
keep an eye on things, but the certainty of that
capital returns certainly encouraging for it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
And of course you'd want the money in the city
and you want the money to be spent. But I
knowed last week that the average you need eight to
fifty on average to make money as a dairy farmer
in this country. That means debts too high, isn't it?
Because eight fifty is a big number, isn't it?

Speaker 14 (17:38):
Eight fifty historically is a really big number. Mike. You
know we've seen costs go up, but as you mentioned
debt levels, you know we all carry a few bit
of debt. What I'm hearing from Farmers is that they
have invested a lot in debt reduction in the last
sort of twelve to eighteen months. I'd expect that to
continue as well as as well as been alongside investment

(17:58):
in other areas as well.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Good stuff, John NICs to catch up with you. Go well,
John Stevenson, who's the Pontier Cooperative Council chit. So it's
a good result all round, isn't it. By the way, Mike,
just over three weeks supply started need a bit. Then
if you think that once the straight is open, they'll
have to move it to Singapore, refine it and then
get it down here, all of that's true. I just
wouldn't panic at this particular point. Do remember the critical number.
The critical number with the muz Strait is twenty percent

(18:21):
of the world's oil goes through it, which means eighty percent,
doesn't twenty.

the F one yesterday, what happened with Lawsons car? Can

(19:41):
you explain in really simple terms? These cars are hybrids.
You wind your engine up because you need to spill
the turbo, your engine going, the revs are high, You
drop the clutch as fast as you can and you go.
All your power comes from the engine and battery. Battery
didn't work. He thought at that point you have to
rewind the engine up since it wasn't a stare, but

(20:01):
he got bogged down. That's my understanding of its six forty.

Speaker 12 (20:04):
Five international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business twitched.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
On in the morning to Europe is good and what
he might so are we going in or not?

Speaker 16 (20:14):
On the ground, it's being considered this as waves of
air strikes also are targeting Iran's military and as well
as oil facilities. Right now into the second week, more
than fifty thousand new st troops taking part in the war,
with more on the way. As to Iran's response, by
Range says they hit a desalination plant, raising concern about
attacks on civilian sites, even as Iran indicated a less

(20:36):
aggressive approach to their golf neighbors. We'll see on that,
but it's the possible endgame that is raising all this speculation.
Trump was asked if he is considering going after Iran's
remaining stocks of enriched uranium, and he did not rule
that out. I would say if we ever did that,
there would be so decvated that they would be able
to fame so only in the latter stage of war.

(20:56):
But it's fells to US Ambassador doctor Michael Lightner is
far more drink in his comments a short time ago.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
We've got to do that.

Speaker 17 (21:03):
It's an objective that we have to accomplish. But the
first thing we have to do is great a situation.
We're going to be able to get to that enriched
material and remove it, and that has to reach a
point where there's less kinetic activity on the ground. It's
obviously on our radar screen. We're going to take care
of it.

Speaker 16 (21:18):
Sounds pretty clear, doesn't it. It could be a mix
of US and Israeli troops, is what he is suggesting.
What they're referring to is Iran's four hundred and fifty
kiltograms of sixty percent in rich uranium. The US Israeli
s strikes last June are destroyed nearly all of Iran's
centrifuges used for uranium and richmond, but the existing stockpile
was buried under the rubble. It sits in underground tunnels,

(21:41):
some in Isfahan and some split between four DAU and
the Tans. If Iran was able to salvage this, who
could take only weeks. They're suggesting to enrich it to
ninety percent purity, which would be weapons grade enough, say experts,
for eleven nuclear bombs. Beyond the nuclear concern, the Trump
team also is considering the seizure of carg Island, the

(22:01):
strategic terminal responsible for ninety percent of Iran's crude oil exports.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy says, in his thinking, this is
all starting to look worse and worse.

Speaker 18 (22:12):
This is already a war that is becoming an ongoing disaster.
It gets worse if the President is talking about putting
ground forces in talking at that point about dozens, if
not hundreds of new American casualty, So.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
It's his view.

Speaker 16 (22:26):
Meantime, there has been a lot of speculation about the
choice of a new leader for Iran, with company's son
mah Taba, often named Iran's foreign minister Abbas Raji, is
claiming that for now, nobody knows. Here's what he is saying.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
Lots of rumors around, but you know, we have to
wait for that sambil of experts to convene and vote
for the new Supreme leader and the one who is
elected by that.

Speaker 16 (22:51):
Well, Trump says that without his approval, no future Iranian
leader will quote last long, fuel prices have surged here
by around sixteen percent. Boy, you really notice it here
in just days, they're still going up and up. In
response to Trump, Energy Secretary Chris Wright says.

Speaker 19 (23:07):
So, yes, we have, but we have a temporary period
of elevator energy prices, but it will not be long.

Speaker 20 (23:13):
In the worst case, this is weeks, This is not months.

Speaker 16 (23:16):
Yeah, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
He is.

Speaker 16 (23:18):
The overall war costs have hit around a billion US
dollars a day, and they will need to find somewhere
to pay for this. On the Democratic side, not on
the same page about blocking any of those funds. Here's
some of their reactions.

Speaker 18 (23:29):
Not a single senator who opposes this war should support
an additional dollar for Iran.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I'm not going to support funding for something that they
refuse even come before Congress.

Speaker 19 (23:41):
Our troops right now, you know, overseas on battleships and
planes in our bases. You know the idea of defunding
them in the middle of that that that doesn't seem
like they're right move to me.

Speaker 16 (23:54):
Yeah, that last comment is obvious, isn't it. You can't
stop funding for troops already at war.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
And I've seeing a couple of days Richard Arnold state. So,
by the way, Trump has just announced that he, as president,
will not sign any legislation till the Saber America Act
is passed, and not the watered down version. This is
his words, not mine, not the watered down version. Go
for gold. Must show voter voter ID and proof of citizenship.
No mail and ballots except for military illness and disability.
Do not fail. He's being sued again. Letitia James remember

(24:24):
her out of New York ag. This is over the
business of IPA and misusing Section one twenty two of
the Trade AC nineteen seventy four, which is what they're
currently using. I think this week it's due to go
to fifteen percent for everybody tariff's this is ten to
fifteen percent, So they're suing them over that, but also
over the weekend. Sort of good news. There's a system
allegedly going to be in place in the next forty

(24:46):
five days from US Customs and Border Protection. There are
three hundred and thirty thousand businesses alone in America that
are looking for refunds on the tariffs out of the
Scotis deal, and Nintendo, Costco FedEx thousands of others have
sued the government on this. They reckon within forty five
days they're going to have a mechanism by which you
can claim a refund. There's about one hundred and sixty
six billion dollars.

Speaker 10 (25:10):
Go.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's a mess, isn't it. Ten away from seven.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
The like Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate news dogs, there'd.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Be Bilendra Shah is your new Prime Minister of Nepal.
They had the vote last week, took a couple of
days to file it all through. He's with the Kpoli party.
He's the rapper, he's the cool guy. He didn't talk
to the media. He does it all through videos and
stuff like that. He got sixty eight thousand, three hundred
and eighty four votes beat the other guy. Big protest.

(25:37):
You remember that, you know the protest the GIN For
a while there there are two or three countries, including Bangladesha.
There was the GIN x Z type protest. They ran
the old guys out of town, revolving door of government's
all that sort of stuff. Eight hundred thousand people of
the people who voted were first time and so the
young people got them up. So remember the name Belindra Shard.
I've got no idea whether it's any good or not,

(25:58):
but we'll find out. Mike se quantas near New Zealand
going one of two ways. Their fears get expensive to
offsit the oil price and losses, or most likely you claim,
they'll be desperate for any sort of passenger flow and
drop prices to entice Eion to jump on board. I
see exactly the officer what I know about airlines in
the last four or five years post COVID is, people
will bleed to fly. It's as simple as that. So yes,
you'll get discounts. You get discounts ordinarily, but they're not

(26:20):
suddenly because of a three four five week war suddenly
going to panic Mike in respect two, rising fuel prices
pushing inflation up. With fifty percent of the fuel cost
being tax, the finance minister can and should lower the
fuel tax to keep fuel costs stable, thus not slowing
the economy. Well, they're not going to do that either, because,
of course, I don't know if you look lately, but

(26:42):
we don't run an annual surplus in this country and
are not forecasts two until twenty nine to thirty, and
even then it's touch and go. And if you read
Barbara Edmunds and the Herald last week, she's not running
the surplus ever. So if you want so, essentially what
that means is you're going to borrow more money. Are
we in the business of borrowing more money in a
country that already has to pay out excess of nine
billion dollars a year in interest. No, we are not

(27:03):
five minutes away from seven.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
All the inns are the outs. It's the fiz with
business fiber. Take your business productivity to the next level.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now you trend about the place. They're called third spaces.
So you go to a third space. Now your first
space is you home. Your second spaces you work your
third space is a spa or wellness hangout. This this
is a thing. So what's happening globally at the moment
is we're giving up the booze and we might be
on the GLP ones and once you go on that
very good piece. I can't remember we're a Reddit last week.

(27:33):
But the exercise business is booming even more than it
was because once you go on the GLP ones and
you drop all the way, you've given up the booze
and you start feeling good about yourself. Next thing you do,
you're hiring a pt and you opt to the races. Anyway,
so we go look for these wellness club rooms and
the global wellness market they think is going to reach
seventeen trillion dollars by twenty thirty. You meet people you

(27:58):
see in the third third space. Loneliness in America report
last year found sixty seven percent of the gm z
as were lonely. Sixty five percent of the millennials were lonely.
Similar Harvard study found sixty seven percent were lonely because
they weren't part of meaningful groups the hell letters. So
memberships are up over two hundred percent in the last

(28:21):
three years to these wellness clubs and a wellness club.
It's not just a gym and a sauna. You do
the whole thing, you know. You go to a you
do a bit of gym, then you have a sauna.
You sit there with your towel and you look over
there and there's old Bob and go, hey, Bob, how
are you you lonely? Aren't it lonely?

Speaker 8 (28:35):
You know?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Anyway, then you go to the restaurant because they've got
the restaurant. Then they've got libraries, and they've got gaming area,
so you might play some backgammon or some cludo with
your new friend you met in the sauna. Or some
of them have art classes.

Speaker 20 (28:49):
Imagine having a meaningful conversation with Brian and Disauna.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Before your art class.

Speaker 20 (28:55):
Which would be meaningful by default.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Color or oil. Brian, I don't know how that goes.

Speaker 20 (29:01):
But is that why you never join any groups because
you couldn't find one meaningful enough?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Precisely, keep them shallow, That's what I say. Keep it
as shallow as possible. So we'll go to Jerusalem. Jerusalem
very much Israel, very much involved in this. I'm interested
in what's going on with them in Lebanon. Maybe we
have a new Supreme leader. Maybe we don't. They say
they've picked that. We just don't know the name. So
Linda Gradstein's back with us from Israel. Christopher Luxen after

(29:25):
seven thirty this morning. Meantime news is next. News talks
will be eleven past seven. We've had some technical difficulties
mocencere apologies for that, and people will be shot. The
news of the day. Operation Epic Fury enters its second week.
Of course, US President wants an unconditional surrender. Israel's now
gone after tharan It's fuel storage sites. Iran, for its parts,

(29:45):
appointed a new Supreme leader, apparently while the presidents apologized
to Gulf States for the attack, but then they kept
attacking them. Linda goldsteiners with CBS and Jerusalem is back
with us. Linda Morning, Good morning. The week in Israel,
as far as atta and sirens and warnings of concerned,
hasn't dropped off for you people dramatically.

Speaker 21 (30:06):
Yes, it has dropped off, although it's still sort of
spread out during the day. What's happened several times, at
least in Jerusalem, where I am is, We've gotten a
pre alert saying that there will be sirens in your
area in the next few minutes, and then those sirens
never came. That said, there were several attacks over the
course of today, and several people were wounded in Tel

(30:28):
Aviv by debris from the interceptor missile that hit the
ballistic missile. And in addition, Israel says that while the
attacks are less frequent and the number of missiles has dropped,
Iran seems to be using missiles that have cluster bombs
in them so that they disperse over a much wider area.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
What's your sense of the effectiveness of Israel's offensive into places?
A lot lebanon them by route.

Speaker 21 (30:55):
You mean Lebanon, and so Lebanon, Actually the fighting has
really heated up in back to Israeli soldiers were killed.
And it also shows that his Belah, which Israel signed
a peace treaty with it with Lebanon in November twenty
twenty four, but that his Belah has maintained its ability
to fire at Israel and that front is kind of

(31:15):
heating up. In terms of its effectiveness in both Iran
and Lebanon. It's kind of hard to know. I mean,
Iran is huge, so it's really hard to know how
much is being destroyed. They definitely did hit a fuel depot,
and Israel has been conducting widespread bombing raids on hundreds
and hundreds of targets throughout Iran. But whether they're really

(31:38):
hitting the missile capabilities as they say, remains to be seen.
In terms of his Bela, I think it's too early
to tell.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
What's the domestic level of support for the Israeli offensive.

Speaker 21 (31:49):
Generally, in general, people are very supportive. More than eighty
percent of the public supports the war, and among Jewish
Israelis it's over ninety percent. I mean, you know, we
have to remember that he Run is seen as sort
of Israel's biggest any. They're the ones, according to the
way Israeli see it. Theyre were the ones who suppit

(32:11):
the Hamas attack on October seventh, which you know led
to this two years of war. They're the ones who
are supporting and bankrolling Hisbala. So I think there's a
lot of support in Israel. But they want is They
want the United States and Israel to go all the
way and to keep fighting until there's regime change and
you run.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Linda appreciate time very much. Linda Gridstein, who's with CBS
in Jerusalem fourteen minutes past seven. Tasket here, of course
already is prices given a lot of the things we
buy has a petrol component to them. As oil rises,
so does the cost of living. Basically, Kroen the Young
is retail in New Zealand CEO and she is well
this morning.

Speaker 22 (32:46):
To you, Mike.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Is it a little bit premature given we're bareley entering
week two or are you already seeing prices move.

Speaker 22 (32:54):
Well, we are seeing prices move just yet, but they're
not far away when you consider the price of fuel
going out. We also know that suppliers have indicated already
to a number of retailers that prices are rising, and
retailers are doing what they can to absorb those. But
as soon as domestic phrase is impacted, you know, as

(33:15):
goods are distributed across the country, that's an additional cost
that's going to go in there. And if new freight
arrives in on higher ship and charges, there's more costs
that are going to come in there. So you know,
they're forecasting it could be you know, as high as
half of the cent on inflation, so certainly we'll see
some increases in prices.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
How do you know continue sure, how do you know
it's real versus someone gouging and just trying it on.

Speaker 22 (33:40):
Well, I think you need to if you have any concerns,
you need to ask the retail of what's driving the
price changes and understand from them you know where that is.
I mean, if you're looking at consumption sort of, if
you're thinking about supermarkets and products that come in through
there that are flowing through really quickly and regular, they're
likely to hit quicker. You know, the fuel prices that

(34:03):
the pump are going up quite quickly, right, So as
soon as new products come in, they're going to be
fixed on those prices. We're going to see rises. But
in places like a peril, you wouldn't see significant increases
other than the cost of freight potentially on those products,
because you know they may already be in the country.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
As such, if this thing lasts three or four weeks,
in other words, another two or three weeks to go
by the time we get to October and November, will
this have been just a blip and will have had
minimal impact.

Speaker 22 (34:33):
We'd like to think so absolutely.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
All right, nice to talk to you, appreciate it very much.
Carolyn Young, Retail New Zealand CEO seventeen minutes past seven,
pask I don't Penny Wong was out yesterday Australia could
help the Middle Eastern nations defend themselves, so they got
the call from Trump. And of course Penny Wong is
not Donald Trump's closest friend, obviously, but she did suggest
that there was some role they could play a defensive

(34:56):
role in helping protect these nations in the golf from
Iranian missiles. She didn't say anything more than that, so
I just don't know what that actually means. But Steve's
on it and they'll be with us after eight thirty meantime,
back here in New Data, Show's university is the place
to be. New year underway as of last week. Of course,
in the University of Auckland. He's got forty seven thirty
three students. That's up eight point three percent on last year.

(35:17):
Undergrads are up eleven and a half percent. Internationals are
up ten percent. Sarah Young's Deputy Vice Chancellor Education at
the University of Auckland and is with us. Sarah, good
morning to you, Hi. How are you very well? Indeed
you got the room and you got the people.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
We have indeed, the campus is absolutely pumping at the moment.

Speaker 22 (35:34):
It's great to see good.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Did you see this coming or is this a reflection
of the economy to some degree?

Speaker 5 (35:40):
I think there's a number of different factors. I mean,
we certainly were planning for growth on the domestic front.
We know we've had a large school ever population that
hasn't peaked in New Zealand yet, and so we've got
obviously enrollments from that. We know that when in New Zealand,
when unemployment is higher, we get more students accessing university
to increase their skils skills and obviously for international students,

(36:03):
we put a lot of work into offshore partners and
new transnational agreements to attract students. So we compare very
well with other countries. And the government's immigration settings are
really helping too.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
I was going to ask about that, is that a
smoother run in for the internationals now?

Speaker 22 (36:17):
It is? So.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
The country's student visa settings have made New Zealand very attractive.
University students can now work twenty five hours per week,
so up from twenty. The supplies to exchange students too,
and masters and PhD students can stay here and work
for up to three years, which means that they can
contribute their knowledge and expertise to New Zealand companies.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Good good for your bottom line as well. Is there
more where that came from? Do you think?

Speaker 22 (36:43):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Absolutely? But of course we're planning around what our size,
shape and composition should be and thinking about some of
the settings that we put in place, and so there's
a number of different factors at play there.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
And do these kids, the locals who want to go
because of markets tighten up skill? I mean, is everyone
doing a bee common they don't really know what they
want to do or most of them got an actual plan.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
I think it's a range of you know, we've got
we're the size of a small city, so we've got,
you know, as you said, forty seven hours and different students.
They all have different views. Some will know exactly what
they want to do and others will be still exploring
what they think they might want to do in the future.
I mean, the key thing is is that they leave
the University of Auckland with good transferable skills that make

(37:28):
them employable and over ninety percent of our students gain employment.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Encouraging to hear Sarah appreciate us Sarah Young, Deputy Vice
Chancellor at the Education at the University of Auckland, Yes

a skill, I think you either habit or you don't.
Chris Laxim will not get rolled, but he may quit
or he may not. That would be a mistake, of course,
of epic proportions. What would drive me what we're driving
I've been thinking over the weekend if I was him,
would be rational thought. One. This election is not about personality.

(38:55):
It's about economic management. On that the government are tracking well. Two.
The internal polling within the National Party is fine. It
does not reflect the Courier poll that the media made
so much of on Friday. The unfortunate thing about Friday's
pre hype release, as it came at the same time
Luxon had had a bad week on the war That week,
by the way, was now we're near as bad as
some made it out to be. But the two events
came together for a good old Friday headline. Three, This

(39:17):
would be the bit that would really focus my mind.
It's only hipkins, I mean, seriously, you're only lining up
labor as an opponent on the economy. The people who
wrecked the place turn a bit years ago are asking
the voter to come back and do a bit more
of it. You don't believe me, read Thomas Coglin's Peace
with Barbara Edmonds.

Speaker 11 (39:35):
Four.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Even if you take the pole seriously, which you shouldn't,
it's a one seat shift. Did you get to that
part of the pole. It's a one seat shift. It's
within the margin Mira. Five. The economy will save you
new campaign on a turnaround. The turnaround is real and
given we're voting on economics, the national leader is not
a deal breakout if you're voting on interest rates and jobs.
Does Chris Bishop Areraica Stamford really change of you or

(39:58):
your lost They are good people well yes, and the
good talents yes, but they aren't game changes and they
won't get you a job any more than Luxe and will.

Speaker 22 (40:04):
Six.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Having done the hard yards, why quit now? The prize
is just down the road and with the second term
perceptions change. Seven. The coalition as an operation is a success.
Three parties have and do work well together. It's MMP
and action. The alternative Hepkins is talking about a minority
government and a Green Party, an extremism and a Mari
Party that will not be back in anywhere near the

(40:27):
numbers they have Now. It's not a combination. This must
all sit, of course heavily with luxeon. I mean, how
could it not. But that is what leadership is about.
That is what you chased and brought into. If you
think you will fail, you will automatically be successful pasking.
I think the media banging on about the pole is
just another taxic from the highly loyal left. The current

(40:48):
group of left parties are only rising in certain poles.
That was the other thing. That pole was the first
bad poll of the year for the National Party. If
you think about it, every other poll had either the
government getting re elected or a hung parlay. Every single
other pole had the government getting re elected or a
hung parliament. So one bad pole. So that's where your
bias comes in, because all the other poles that come
out didn't get anywhere near the coverage of course, that

(41:10):
that particular pole did. And that's before you get to
the methodology around poles and whether or not there are
people learning food vouchers and all that sort of thing.
Let me come back, and I don't have time now,
but I will in the next half hour. Samira Takhrvi,
who was my hero of the week last week, she
wrote to me over the weekend. Helen Clark was apparently
interviewed by Tim Beverage on the station yesterday. At one

(41:32):
point she referred writes Samira. At one point she referred
to me as a refugee who got refugee status here.
That is simply incorrect. I came to New Zealand as
a skilled migrant, not as a refugee. What was particularly
shocking was the way the comments seemed designed to diminish
my position by portraying it as emotional or uninformed, rather

(41:52):
than engaging with the substance of what I actually said.
I would also respectfully say that when it comes to
the realities of regimes like the one in Iran, I
consider myself far more qualified to speak on the subject
than Helen Clark. I lived under such a system and
have spent years studying and analyzing these issues from both
a legal and personal perspective. And then her letter to me,

(42:12):
she makes a very very good point about some of
the comments that Helen Clark has made about other regimes
and how her view of the world doesn't quite add up.
So we'll come to that after the Prime Minister, who
was after the news which is next he a news talk,

Good morning, It's seven thirty. I'm never ritti Manu. The
Commerce Commission says retailers should still try to provide a
competitive price for petrol as oil price increase. It says
it will be calling out behavior which prevents drivers from
getting a good deal. The price of crude oil has
increased by thirty five percent since last week. It's largely

(43:11):
because of the block strait of Hormus. Generate investment specialist
Greg Smith told Mike Cosking US promises to protect tankers
with navy boats have not eventuated.

Speaker 11 (43:21):
They've got over four hundred ships, but only about fifty operation.
All of them are in poor on training, and they've
got less than twenty in the region.

Speaker 8 (43:29):
Meanwhile, Iran's Assembly of Experts has chosen a new Supreme Leader,
but has yet to say who it is. Israel is
launching a new wave of strikes in Tehran after striking
a devastating blow to its energy infrastructure. CBS Jerusalem correspondent
Linda Gratzting told Mike Cosking that several people in Tel
Aviv have been wounded in recent attacks.

Speaker 21 (43:50):
Israel says that while the attacks are less frequent and
the number of missiles has dropped, Iran seems to be
using missiles that have cluster bombs in them so that
they first over a much wider area.

Speaker 8 (44:02):
A senior National MP's brushing off a bombshell poll saying
the challenges facing the country are not the fault of
the Prime minister. Last week's Taxpayer's Union Curier polls casting
doubt about Christopher Luxeon's future, with National just twenty eight
point four percent to Labour's thirty four point four the
party's worst result in government since nineteen ninety nine. He's

(44:24):
firmly ruled out stepping down National. Simme and Brown told
Ryan Bridge the party's caucus is in complete support of
its leader.

Speaker 23 (44:31):
We're completely behind Chris Luxen, very focused on winning in
November and making sure that new zalers are reminded that
the challenges we're facing today are a direct result of
the decisions made by Chris Hipkins and the Labor Party.

Sibbyon Brown, who's the Health Minister, says that the system

affects leave entitlements and benefits and has put some people off.
Says the changes have been recommended for some time and
as part of the government's plan to grow the number
of GPS. Ordunger Tamadiki's second boot camp pilot starts today,

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Can the clowns in our society do not see Christopher
lux and the coalition works and works well. His head
is in the right place. He's working hard for all
of us, even the clowns of society. If you want
to work in a circus, then vote labor mister luxelon
for me. So we've got a little bit of Mike
Wurst Paulson's nineteen ninety nine and you do a lame interview. Well,

(48:59):
first of all, you've got to believe the pole, which
I don't and I've said on this program any number
of times, I don't believe any of the poles. The pole,
the polling mechanism, and do some homework on it. The
polling mechanisms used in this country now, if not all
around the world, provide you with the very broadest of
pictures as to what may or may not be going on.
And if you're going to hang your hat on a
singular pole, more for you, given all the other poles

(49:22):
don't tell the same story. Let me just come back
to Samira Takhabi who said this about Helen Clark, and
I thought this was interesting. When the United States and
it's our allies withdrew from Afghanistan in twenty twenty one,
in the Teleban took Over, she Clark described the situation
as a quote massive step backwards in a devastating reversal
of progress, particularly for women and girls. She was deeply

(49:42):
critical of the withdrawal, calling it a catastrophic failure, and
warning about the consequences of leaving people under the control
of a brutal regime. Yet now she invokes Afghanistan as
an example of why the West should avoid confronting regimes
like the one on the run. I think ultimately she
and her real are going to be shown to be
on the wrong side of history. If this is successful
and they pulverize what was an evil regime and that

(50:05):
evil regime no longer exists, then that's a problem solved,
as opposed to their view of the world, which of
course has gone on for decades and wasn't a problem solved.
So whose side are you on? Nine Away from eight.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
I note that Television New Zealand Friday got buried among
all the other stuff that was going on, announced their
profit and they probably wasn't a brilliant one. I don't
mean to be mean to TV and Z, but because
I know a lot of people at TV and Z
and a lot of people and my friends at TV
and Z. But nevertheless, two point four million. It was
fifty three, So it's gone from fifty three to two
point four which is not good. Revenue is down twelve
sharp fall and advertising income, which I found interesting because

(50:55):
we're experiencing here. It ended me if you follow ensed
me in the markets and all that sort of stuff,
when we announced our pro that our profit is the opposite.
It's going up as opposed to down, which once again
is not too belittle TV and Z all be nasty
about it. It's just, you know, it's a statement of
fact and an observation that a bit of a write
down in some of their assets. They say that this
year will be a defining year. Isn't every year a
defining year? But here's my problem for them on their behalf.

(51:17):
My worry for them is, of course, going forward linear television,
we all knows an element of trouble, and depending on
what you view of the world is and who you ask,
it's either you got a fairly limited future or no
future at all. But be that is one of the
things they're looking to do is TV and said plus
their streaming service is they would have you believe as
going well in terms of numbers of people who access

(51:38):
and watch television programs on it. They would have you
believe it's going well. And part of the reason it
may well be going well is of course it's free now.
The difficulty is that it won't be free forever. Their
first test is the World Cup, as in the football.
Now that is the biggest sporting event of the world.
If you put aside the Olympics for one moment, and
you will be able to make money. Now, depending on
what they bought the rights for, they will I'm assuming

(52:01):
be able to add that cost and add a bit
more on and then there are plenty of people in
this country. You want to give them money to watch
the football World Cup, so that will be a money
earner for them, and good on them. Now that could
be an avenue in which they go down. In other words,
they enter the wonderful world of sport because there's not
a lot that you want to pay for. As far
as I can work out, in terms of streaming, you
either want to pay for heavyweight original content, so you're

(52:24):
talking in Netflix your Amazon's. But I would argue Netflix
and Amazon have got that sort of stuff sewn up
and TVNZ is not of the financial wherewithal to be
able to start producing globally significant programs or you go
down the sport track. So they've got the World Cup,
and we wish them the very best with that, and
people will hand over money for that. But then what then,
what what is it you've got content wise that you

(52:46):
can get somebody to reach into their pocket and give
you five, seven, nine, twelve, fifteen twenty nine dollars a
month for And in that long term I fear for
their future because I just if you look at what
they've got on, you know, it's British comedy, it's quirky drama.
Are you paying money for that? Sport? Therefore mentioned commentary Box,

make sense. We're trying to work out what that actually means. Farmers'

(53:37):
markets seven away from it. By the way, farmers Markets,
I've got some new data around them this morning. They
now support more than a thousand food producers in this country,
attracting fifty thousand shoppers every week. Tony Cato is one
example of that. He runs Parongia Mountain Vegetables and he's well,
there's Tony morning.

Speaker 25 (53:52):
Good morning Mike.

Speaker 22 (53:52):
How are you today?

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Very well? Indeed, I can tell by your voice immediately
you're not the Tony Cato I used to work with
many years ago at radio in New Zealand.

Speaker 25 (54:00):
No, no, no, there will be someone else. No no,
I'm just a market gardener here in Pronga.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
What do you grow?

Speaker 25 (54:07):
We grow predominantly root vegetables, potatoes, broccoli and bressacas or
we also grow twenty ton of cabbage for the Sauer
Kraut industry, your napper cabbages for your kimchi kim chie sprinkles.
Were the guys who run who grow those things on kim.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Are you you're the source of the kim cheese sprinkles?

Speaker 25 (54:30):
I certainly, yeah, mate. We grow a fair number of those.
We've just been put on the ground now ready for
our Autuman winter harvests.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Do you eat the kim sprinkle do that?

Speaker 14 (54:40):
Yes?

Speaker 25 (54:40):
We do, yep. We put them on just about everything,
a bit of a top up.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
They're the greatest thing in the world apart from the
industry itself. Do you take all your stuff to market?

Speaker 25 (54:51):
Yes, of our produce goes to three farmers markets by
a plenty and the two whitekado ones every Saturday and Sunday.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
What's your vents of the farmer's market industry? Is it going?
Is it growing? Booming? And you know it's become a thing?

Speaker 25 (55:06):
Oh, most definitely Yes, yep. Every market we go, do
we see an increase of different different types. It's been
nothing but grown. We've been in the markets for fifteen
nearly twenty years now, and just especially after the COVID area,
we've just seen an increase in customers wanting to know
where that food comes from, and they get to speak

(55:30):
directly to the grower so they know exactly where it's from.
Its irritation.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Story is the thing, isn't it. People like to know
the story, where it came from, who you are, what
you grew, where the farmers and that means something to people,
doesn't it.

Speaker 25 (55:47):
Yes, it certainly does. Yes, there's nothing like quite like
selling something straight to the to the consumer, and they're
super interested in that and where it comes from, especially
and a lot of it's it's fresher better. It's generally
picked the day before we get to the markets, so
you're not going to get it much better than that.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Couldn't agree more. Well, I'm glad it's going so well
for you, Tony. Nice to talk to you. Appreciate it
very much, and God bless you on the Kimchi sprinkles,
Tony Kata Perongia, Mountaine. It's just these farmers' markets. And
not that I don't like supermarket. Supermarkets have got their place,
and I'm a supporter of competition in the supermarkets and
all that sort of stuff. But why you would buy
vegetables from a supermarket, I've got no idea. Why you
would buy your meat from a supermarket. I've got no idea.

(56:29):
There are specialists out there who will do things that
you just can't if you just live at a supermarket.
That's all you know. There are people out there who
will do things to meet and products and vegetables and
fruit generally, when you get hold of it, you just
will not believe how magical things can be. Speaking of which,
by the way, you realize country Calendar is sixty years
old today. It is this very day, sixty years ago

(56:50):
that country calendar started and what a thing. It's the
greatest New Zealand television programme ever produced apart from seven
Charp the years twenty fourteen through seventeen when I was
on IT news in a couple of moments and then
we'll do the week with caving and teams. Take it.
You watched it? What do you make of it as
a thing?

Speaker 7 (57:09):
I thought it was fantastic, Clearly, the new engines and
this whole very very technical world of the battery recharging
and clipping and super clipping and what have you. Clearly
that's added a whole new challenge for the drivers which
now brings I suppose the field a bit closer, does it.
You've now got having to you four teams yep, that

(57:31):
can pretty much win every weekend. McClaren will sort their
issues out, Red Bull will sort their issues out, and
you've got Ferrari and Mercedes. So I thought there was
some great racing overall, very good for if one, very interesting,
and I also thought Michael thought the supercars were fantastic
as well.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Over yeah, they're brilliant. What do you make of it, Jason?

Speaker 26 (57:53):
I just want to know, Mike, how after all the
testing and the tens of millions, if not hundreds of
millions of that's poured into these things. How Liam Lawson,
when when it's lights out, can't get any power to
his car. It's just extraordinary to me that he was
basically stored on the start line just about got rare ended. Gee,

(58:16):
was so close to being to being taken out from
the by the car behind him. What is the explanation
for that? Why wasn't he able to get power on
the on the starting grid?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Same reason that had you had to pull his car
over when it was on fire, you could ask the
same question, why is my car on fire after all
of this test?

Speaker 7 (58:34):
And the same reason why Pastree apparently had a power suit, Yeah,
rose his car off in the womup land still and.

Speaker 26 (58:41):
For Stap and crashed, yeah, And for stap and crashed
in qualifying, didn't he? I mean, the best driver in
the world, not not a driver Era clearly the car
we've I think we've said previously on the slot that
you know, if it's just the same winners every week,
it becomes a little bit mundane anything but that unexpected stuff,
by the looks of it, is going to continue to happen.
So If that's the If that's what they're after, then

(59:02):
mission accomplished yesterday in race won for sure.

Speaker 7 (59:05):
I've got to.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Say that having watched qualifying and following the practice and
the testing and all that sort of stuff, I was
more worried before the race. I thought there's too much
wrong here. This could be carnage. But the race actually
went on. Six cars at the end didn't finish. That's
about right. It's about normal. Remembering, of course there's twenty
two cars and not twenty anymore, so that's about right.
One blew up and gone the smoke. One skidded around

(59:27):
the corner, smacked inner wall. That's what happens in F
one racing.

Speaker 7 (59:30):
And there was there was some good racing between Russell
and Hae and Russell and Maclear. The concern Mike is
supposed for officials, and I do think McLaren and Red
Bull sort out their issues. But there was a big
There was a massive thirty second gap between the Ferraris
and yes, the Merks at the end, so that that
would have to be a bit of a concern.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
It will be anyone passed about eleventh or twelfth and
the race had been lapped, and that I don't know
how normal that is, whether that's an issue, but I
mean you look at Aster Martin, They'll get their problems
sorted out out. Cadillac will slowly but surely get better.
I think Liam's team in general, I mean that that
they were doing better than many people thought. So I
think for all of the changes, and it's one of

(01:00:11):
twenty four races, possibly twenty two given the war but
you know, by the end of the season, we'll think
generally speaking, it's worked out pretty well.

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
I reckon, do you generally understand what the battery?

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Yes, charging, it's just thinks they're.

Speaker 7 (01:00:26):
Often decelerating going into a corner to get more power
on the straight.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
That's right, that's what. That's how you recharge your battery.

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
So it takes a couple of seconds max to recharge
a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
It's like it's like everything that you would do in
a in a Preus except turbo charged. In terms of
it does it a lot better, a lot faster, a
lot quicker, and a lot more power simple as simple
as that ego.

Speaker 26 (01:00:48):
Now, given all that, Mike and with heaven, sorry, I
know you want to move to the Warriors shortly. But
given that Liam qualified eighth. He'll be very disappointed the points.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Because Linn Ladd did very well that side. If you
forget Liam's start, he actually climbed up through the field.
I mean, the hero of the day really was a
stapp and I mean what he did from the back
of the field to where he ended up was extraordinary.
But so if Liam had all things being equal, if
Liam had started properly, both those guys would have been
in the points and that would have been a very
good start to the season and yet competitive, and that's
not a bad thing. You're right, Jason, you are right.

(01:01:21):
I want to move to the Warriors, and I mean,
come on, this is our year, Jason, say it out loud,
nice and loud with us.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Well, you you.

Speaker 26 (01:01:31):
Made the claim a week ago on the slot, Mike,
when I asked you that very thing, and I watched
them on Friday night with a growing sense of admiration
for your analytical abilities around rag b Leg. I thought
Tanner Boyd was excellent. I worried a lot about Luke
Metcalfe not being there. And you know when he comes
back now, Tanner Boyd's going to be an obstacle for

(01:01:52):
him getting back in the team. Look, it wasn't perfect,
was it? When you put forty on the roosters exactly
in front of a big crowd and the first round
who knows, maybe it is our year come on with sev.

Speaker 7 (01:02:06):
And they've still got Mitch Sure, Mitch Barney and Metcalf
to come back.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Haven't this they do tomorrow?

Speaker 7 (01:02:12):
They look they look, they look fit, They looked, you know,
when they started to drift off a little bit in
that second half, they came back with a histner war
at the end. So you can last night Andrew Webster,
Andrew Webster has his feet firmly on the ground. Here's
a question for you, mate, How concerning is it for
rugby union when you look at that crowd and the
worry is opening game twenty five thousand absolutely going off

(01:02:35):
the next night at Eden Park probably not even half full.
And I know it's a bigger venue, but empty grand
stands or half empty grand stands not a great look.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Right, What would that crowd have been? I mean, yes,
it's your eating part, but what would that would they
crack twenty?

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
I don't think so?

Speaker 26 (01:02:52):
No, No, I reckon it have been between fifteen and twenty,
you know, and a game between the two.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
It's a glamour so.

Speaker 7 (01:03:00):
There were some big names playing in that game. It's
a glamour event. For the Crusaders were absolutely dreadful and
Mike there was seventy kicks in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Yeah, it's a combination of problems. Ed listen and I
got to take a break more in a moment thirteen Past.

Growing calls for the government to pay rates on crown Land.
Wellington Mayor Andrew Little's announced he'll lobby for changes to
the Local Government Act to repeal the measure as part
of his council's triennium plan. Auckland's Wayne Brown is doing
the same, saying the government's taking councils for a free ride. Currently,
most property owned by central government, such as schools and hospitals,

is exempt from paying rates. A surgeon enrollments has Auckland
University's campus buzzing. Total semester one enrollments of top forty

(01:07:47):
driving the increase.

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
We know that when unemployment is higher, we get more

shared Starma condolences with Trump of six US soldiers, the
deaths of just reporting this a seventh Now they look
