Speaker 1 (00:00):
What big news fold opinions, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with
the range Rover Villa designed to intrigue and use togs, EDB.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Molli and welcome today the Cup and when Peter Burling
on being part of the best ever in Grant Dotton
on where to Next? And when our reviewers on into
why we don't turn up to local body elections. We've
got a new research project that tells hospitals when demands
going to spike. The lads in the commentary box Richard
Arnold and America's the Prize does the Aussie bits for us?
Says well, asky, Welcome to a new week, Monday morning,

(00:30):
seven pass six. Now there's no doubt the America's Cup
has not been like it was previously when we held it.
A me know and seems to have published any numbers
around the viewership, which leads me to believe that outside
the hardcore, most of us didn't get up in the
night to watch it. But here's the simple truth. Most
big sport that we participate in is not held locally.
It can't be. We're not capable as a country of
hosting major global events. Perhaps more importantly, we don't seem

(00:53):
any longer. Do we even want to try? We found
out last time the bill is a couple one hundred
million dollars. We're not prepared to pay it. Clearly Spain
was Spain might again or Saudi Arabia Maybe Britain as
challenger of record, might want to get it to their place.
We made the mistakes some time back. I assuming that
just because we are the holders, we were the hosts.
But the trick has holders, and it's always been the case.

(01:13):
You won the event. As an owner of the event,
you can't possibly argue that it's not your responsibility to
go to the best time at the best price. Are
there considerations, Well, of course there are. Would it be
nice the host in New Zealand defended event in New Zealand,
Well of course it would. Would it be profitable though,
to go to Saudi Arabia if they were writing a
check larger than anyone else, Yes it would, but you

(01:33):
consider other aspects, patriotism or politics of the day, depending
on what's on offer. Also mixing things up a little
bit has been Grant Dalton, of course, who was small
number and it's an increasingly small number these days. Don't
like there's always been a tiny collective of locals here
who find Grant a bit outspoken in a sport perceived
to be frequented by a too many rich folk. It's
always carried an outsized portion of agro the old America's Cup,

(01:55):
but history has shown us the winning of it and
the pursuit of the winning of it vastly outweighs the winges.
But like most sports at the elite level, just because
we compete and occasionally just because we're good at it,
doesn't mean it has to be played locally. I mean,
Liam is an Austin right now this morning, eight o'clock
start time. No matter how good he becomes, we will
never see an F one race in this country, and

(02:16):
the chances are sadly we will never see an America's
Cup race here again either.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
News of the world in ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
So the theory was you kill you remember this on Friday,
you kill the Hamas leader. That might indicate the beginning
of the end of the war. Seems the Israelis have
been a bit busy for that.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Search rescue and recovery teams are sifting through the rubble
trying to find people and survivors.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
At the moment, but it's pretty desperate.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Indeed, the rhetoric hasn't changed a lot either.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
I would ask Hamas, why are they using all of
the gaza's trip as their protection. Why are they not
letting the hostages out? Why are they acting as if
all of this is not their own fault.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
A couple of things in Britain. Firstly, increasing ankst around
the budget and how many texts are going up and
you need Texas of course to pay for things like health,
which is a miss.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Money that is going into the NHS because of that
burgeoning demand comes at the expense of either money in
people's pockets or other public services desperately need investment.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Secondly, Sir Chris Hoy, one of the greatest livery on
a bike has bad news.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
As a natural as it feels this is nature, you know,
we were all born and we all die and this
is just part of the process and being given enough
time to say goodbye. It's a double edged sword because
the kids make it all the more painful hurdling.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
The weather not too flat, so thee girls with gustin
exposure up to eighty miles an hour. And this comes
in conjunction with some very high tides, so there's likely
to be coastal flooding, flying debris. Obviously, ferry crossings will
be canceled, Bridges would be closed.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yep, we're going to be We can't forget the US election.
Today's drama. The Trumps are not happy with CBS for
the editing of the hero's interview.

Speaker 8 (03:57):
She gives an answer that shows that she's dumb, or incompetent,
or something wrong with her. It's so bad they take
the whole ridiculous answer out and replace it with a
much shorter answer.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Finally, and the small German town of Plattenberg me As
banned people from having a cactus in the town hall
or a school or in the nursery after a man
require medical attention after being injured by one in a
school building. Now the jury was to his arm, but
the man said, look, it could have easily been to
a kid's face. So ban on to use the world
in ninety secs a boeing, by the way, you'll be
thrilled to know, or maybe you won't are. The machinists

(04:34):
are about to vote this coming week. Thirty five percent
is the pay rise that rejected the thirty Remember they
wanted the forty. So they've been off at thirty five
higher signing bonuses of seven thousand dollars guaranteed minimum payouts
in the annual bonus program, a higher four h one
K contribution, and they might might, just might go back
to work. So we watch them wait eleven past six.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on aheart radio
god By News Talks.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
It be News Talks d B. In the end, it
was easy there.

Speaker 9 (05:07):
It is New Zealand have done it.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
They have climbed their everest.

Speaker 9 (05:13):
They were there in twenty ten.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
Those two ladies I have even I know the winning
worldout we listen in two thousand they had each their
names and history.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
White Booms World Champions just unfolded in Dubai, which is nice.
Craig mcmilland with us from Dubai later on in the program,
A Love of Sport to cover off of course, with
Grant Dalton Peter Builing on the program as well. Meantime,
at fifteen past six from Defin Funds Management, Greg Smith, Morning's.

Speaker 9 (05:38):
In You Mornings you might now Netflix.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So the ads and the streaming and the numbers were
what do we make of it all?

Speaker 9 (05:44):
Oh, pretty good actually.

Speaker 10 (05:45):
This and the market liked as well. She is up
eleven percent on Friday, so they record highs.

Speaker 9 (05:50):
Actually, so they've beat.

Speaker 10 (05:51):
At the top lines at the bottom line. I used
to tend to look at subscriber numbers, and five point
one million subscribers during the quarter. That was more than
four and a half million expected. And they got your
paid memberships up to two eight three million, so yeah,
it wasn't that long ago. They were struggling if you
think back a couple of years. But yeah, the crack
down password sharing that's been successful in the creation of
an AD tier that looks to have been a bit
of a master stroke, so you know, people are prepared

(06:13):
to put up ads and pay a little bit less.
So the numbers they're up to thirty five percent, and no,
an interesting thing as well that we they've got the
ad tier that's came for more than fifty percent of
sign ups in the countries where it's available, so no
surprise are rolling those out. Revenues up fifteen percent, nine
point eight billion, needing come up forty percent to two
point four billion, and they reckon they get four year

(06:33):
revenue for twenty twenty five between forty three and forty
four billions.

Speaker 9 (06:36):
So it's not too bad.

Speaker 10 (06:37):
It just shows you as well, like there's plenty of
options availables, and there are other than sport, but highly
competitive business streaming. You know, the results have just reinforced
that Netflix remains one of the kings of content when.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
You look at it.

Speaker 10 (06:47):
Together with YouTube, they count for around half of all
streaming TV watch time in the US. Speaking of sports,
they're also pushing into live events here as well. Would
you believe it, They're gonna show a boxing match involving
Mike Tyson in his late fifties, in a couple of
NFL games on Christmas Days. So they appear to be
doing a lot of things right and that's being appreciated
by shield. Is stock up sixty percent year of day?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
And what about Biden and his debt? I mean, these
are these are eye watering numbers.

Speaker 9 (07:12):
Aren't they big numbers?

Speaker 10 (07:14):
So this is the let's look best of the budget
deficits that top one point eight trillion in fiscal twenty
twenty fours, that's to the end of September. It's up
more eight percent from the previous year, raise by one
hundred and thirty eight billion. Only time they've seen a
bigger deficit was when they're spending trillions in response to
the pandemic in twenty twenty and twenty one. It elves
came despite record receipts of four point nine trillion US

(07:36):
government debt Mike, that's an iwarding thirty five point seven
trillion dollars, So that's up two point three trillion. And
then when you think about it with where interest rates are,
that's an aggregating factor. So the interest bill has topped
a trillion dollars a year for the first time, it's
one point one six trillions. So the US is actually
spending more on interest than anything else, with the exception

(07:57):
of Social Security and keep it hey less than stroits
are coming down. You've got to share. They told you
this economy deficit's running above six percent. It's above the
historical average of three point seven cent over the last
fifty years, and the Congressional Budget Office they actually expect
the deficit to keep rising and they can hit two
point eight trillion by twenty thirty four, and just quickly
on the death side, they expect it to rise from

(08:18):
the current level of near one hundred percent of the
GDP so one hundred percent of the economy to one
hundred and twenty two percent in twenty thirty four. So
I guess that makes New Zealand's forty four percent look
rather good.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, I guess it does. See China, is it good
or is it not good? We got light or not?

Speaker 9 (08:34):
Hey, we've got some got some good news here, So
let's sort of take that.

Speaker 10 (08:37):
So if they're called a GDP, I remember that they've
got a target of five percent annually for this year
and there's a lot of skepticism around that. So they
had four point six so it's the slightest rati of
growth since early twenty twenty three, so that's not so good,
but it was above the four and uf percent expected.

Speaker 9 (08:51):
They're quite good on a.

Speaker 10 (08:52):
Quarterity basis point nine percent, and yes, they should provide
some confidence that they can get close to that target.
And that's remember as well. They've role a lot of
stimulus measures that are planning to to to improve confidence,
are cutting them ound cash at banks need to have
on hand.

Speaker 11 (09:07):
Though.

Speaker 10 (09:07):
The property market, Mike, that certainly needs a boost. You
look at new home prices in China and the semi
major cities that fouled nearly six percent. It's the fifteenth
straight month of declines in September. It's the steepert since
May twenty fifteen. And if you get an existing home
it's even worse. So those prices are down nearly eleven percent,
and given seventy percent of Chinese house offers in the
property sector, it's pretty important. There's some other encouraging news.

(09:30):
Retail sales up three point two percent, inducial production up
five point four percent. It's been in forecast down employment
right there are so dipped to five point one percent, so.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
It's all pretty encouraging.

Speaker 10 (09:38):
Obviously world's second largest economy, biggest trade customer, and also
trying to get the equity market going as well. The
MIC's on Friday they've kicked off two funding schemes that's
going to inject as much as eight hundred billion you
one into the stock market, so you investas light that
news cs I three hundred China and the Hang Seing
in Hong Kong. They both jumped three point six percent
on Friday.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Give me some numbers, hey, so.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
We've got record again.

Speaker 10 (10:00):
It seems to be a continuing theme for the DOWBT
that was up thirty six points forty three two seven
five s and p five on a record as well
at point four percent five eight sixty four naysack up
point six percent foot three hundred down point three percent,
nick a point two percent, A six two hundred down
point nine percent fifty we're aut point four percent twelve
eight two.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
Three talking a records goal. That's a record as well.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
At twenty eight bucks twenty seven to two to one
allounce oil down a dollar forty five sixty nine spot
twenty two in the currency's key against the U S
sixty spot seven, up slightly a dollar ninety point six,
pretty flat. We're down again, stealing forty six point five
there this week, myke lots on, we've got results in Tesler,
We've got Coca Cola, we've got Amazon.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
Hey, it's big week for IPOs as well.

Speaker 10 (10:42):
India's got their biggest IPO ever three point three billion
Hondo Motor India. And we've also got Tokyo Metro subway
system that's also a pretty big deal in Japan's it's
two point three billion locally. We've got credit card spinning
consumer conference, lots of AGMS thirteen and in fact including
EB freightways and yes, Fature Fielding.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And you're on all week so we look forward to it.
Greg Smith divon Funds Management, Procter and Proctor and gamble
beeat quarterly as the US season reporting season continues, Proctor
and gamble beeat quarterly earnings expectations protect forh leap over
the weekend off. You're into watch as they've announced their
first new collection in twenty five years, which is exciting.
Speaking of a new Embryer Brazil Planes, they're looking at

(11:24):
a new plane to take on Airbus and Boeing and
given the status of Airbus and Bowling at the moment's
probably timed at nicely.

Speaker 9 (11:29):
Twenty one minutes past six your Reduced Talks.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
V Good the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by News Talks EDB.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Actually, speaking of Netflix, they're starting to put their prices
up around the world at the moment to or, as
they tell Ad and Festas are working to improve our
monetization by refining our plans and pricing, which is just
flash talk for putting the prices up already up in Japan,
parts of Europe, Middle East, Africa. That's last month they're
going up in Italy Spain this coming week. By the way,
with Nodo hand over Indonesia yesterday to Praboo, we probably

(12:03):
should spend more time thinking about Indonesia, given it's the
third largest democracy in the world. But nevertheless that handover
happened yesterday. The Harris interview got some numbers for the
first time. The Fox interview with Brett Bear the other day,
the sort of the seemingly hum and some quarters controversial
interview huge seven point one million viewers. A good night

(12:24):
on Fox, a top night on Foxes between three and four.
So to pull in seven point one gives you a
real indication that people are still fully engaged in this
particular race. More numbers. New poll out this morning from
the States. I'll have for you shortly as well.

Speaker 12 (12:36):
Six twenty five trending now with the MS Wells, your
home of Sports and Nutrition and.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
In related matters. It was the Elfred E. Smith Memorial
Dinner over the weekend, known of course as the L.
Smith Dinner. It's an annual white TI It's in you
your Catholic charities, big political who's who? Carmel are not there?
Probably a mistake. The jokes flowed or did they.

Speaker 13 (12:57):
Shortly, I will introduce Press and Trump, who will likely
talk about how Vice President Harris's absence proves that she
hates Catholics, American and babies. Then CNN and MSNBC will
say President Trump went too far, and Elon Musk and Fox.

Speaker 14 (13:17):
News will say he was pitch perfect.

Speaker 13 (13:21):
You know, during the first and only debate, President Trump
talked about migrants taking cats and eating them. You know,
if you're keeping track at home, this is the second
time grabbing a kiddie has been part of a campaign issue.

Speaker 15 (13:42):
We talked about leaving that out.

Speaker 13 (13:44):
I was going to leave that out.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
We talked about living. There was Mary Kallahena Udas, who
is the West chair of the Foundation, and speaking of
the weirdness, Elon As, I understand it. I hadn't got
to the bottomball. But he's in Pennsylvania. He's offering a
million bucks and I can't work out whether he's just
handing it out or he's got a contest where you
can win a million dollars. Doesn't really matter. I just

(14:11):
wonder if people going around offering money to people to
vote for certain candidates doesn't alert the interest of I
don't know authorities. I may be wrong anyway, Richard Arnold's
all over that. Meantime, speaking of democracy, we've got a
problem here, as you well aware, in the local body business.
Next year we're having some local body elections and as

(14:32):
far as history would show us, very few of us
will be turning up to any of them. And that's
a problem they've worked out. So they're having a bit
of a look into the local body elections and our
lack of interest. So we'll have a look at the
details and what they're going to do about it, if anything.
After the News, which is next, you're a news talk said.

Speaker 16 (14:47):
Be.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Demanding the answers from the decision makers, the mic Hosking
breakfast with Bailey's real estate, your local experts across residential,
commercial and rural news togs, he'd be.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
So it's one hundred bucks if you signed a petition
with elan First and Second Amendment, free speech bear arms.
So you get one hundred dollars to sign the petition.
Everyone who signs the petition goes in the drawer for
a million dollars a day. Is what we're up to anyway.
The more important part is it's all got wed and
Richard Arnold's with a shortly twenty three to seven by
carmeon the micracy your VISI will turnout at our local
body elections as being officially looked at local government, New

(15:30):
Zealand is looking for a bit of feedback about forty
percent of us turn out last time, which is dreadful.
The Electoral Reform Group member and the Gisband mayor of course,
Ready Stalts is well, that's very good morning to you.
Good morning. Do you realistically, hand on heart believe there
is something out there that we haven't already thought of
that can actually motivate people to turn up.

Speaker 17 (15:51):
I do think if we take a look at how
we vote at the stage we use the postal system.
No one used mailboxes anymore. If you think of their
Tuner elections, there's a voting day, it is nationally advertised.
So maybe if we take a look and make it
easier for people to vote, we can get more people involved.
But on top of that we also need to make

(16:12):
sure people want to be involved in local politics, because
at this stage, quite a few people say and they
only interact with their council when they receive their rights
bull and I challenge that by saying no, you travel
on road, you drink water, so you should really be
invested in having your say who do you want to
make those decisions on your behalf.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Couldn't agree more. But that's all theory, isn't otherwise we
would be acting. I mean, there's never been a better
example at the moment surely around the country of carnage
and disaster that would, in theory motivate people to want
to participate, isn't there.

Speaker 17 (16:46):
I do think after a lot of people received bigger
rights bolls this year, they might think next year when
it's election time, let's take a good look whoever candidates
standing in my route. But I may be understand do
I think I can.

Speaker 18 (17:01):
Do a better job?

Speaker 17 (17:02):
Because also, if you take a look at what proportion
of your salary do you pay over to government taxes,
and you think what proportion do you pay to your rates,
you are motivated to vote in government elections because it's
a huge amount you pay. So maybe if people start
thinking a lot of practical things around me are affected
by my council, let's get involved and see if we

(17:24):
can make it better for us here in our local spot.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
As part of the problem, though in an understanding candidates
understanding policies is it's such a crapshoot At council level,
you don't know what you're going to get. At least nationally,
you get a side, you get the left, or you
get the right. Wellen councils, you can get a bit
of everything, and then that may or may not work.
And that's the problem.

Speaker 17 (17:45):
That's one of the issues we identified when we ask
people why do you not participate? A lot of people said,
I don't know the candidates. I don't know what they're
standing for. You know, once elections come around, a few
billboards go up, some will advertise on the radio, but
you don't really know what people stand for.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Because we pride ourselves that.

Speaker 17 (18:06):
Local government isn't really tied to political parties, so there
might be a win and a lose in there. But
that's part of the work to also make sure candidates
are advertised in a way that's maybe more consistent across
the country.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
All right, let's see what happens with that. Really appreciate
time Refustols, who's the Gismond mayor, but also a member
of this group looking at the other thing they're looking
at as a possibility of four year terms. I'm just wondering,
if you're listening to this in Wellington, whether you'd be
interested in a good, solid four year term at the
moment to given what you're dealing with, Let's go to
Richard in the moment.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Twenty two The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio,
powered by News Talks.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
It be Morning, Mike. Make toy Farno the mascot for
council voting advertisements that should do the trick. Thank you, Jim.
By the way, you know what Jomo travelers Jomo unlike fomo.
Jomo is the joy of missing out. Jomo travel. It's
a trending way to travel in twenty twenty five, according
to Expeedy, Unpacked twenty fives, the annual outlook for what's
motivating travelers and where they're going to go next year.

(19:04):
Instead of feeling fomo when your friends go on action
packed holidays, Jomo travel means doing less, escaping the hustle
and the bustle of everyday life. So you think like cabins,
peaceful beach houses for relaxation, reconnection. Eighty five percent of
Kiwi travelers who've rented a holiday home are interested in
Jomo travel, so almost three quarters SA it reduces stress

(19:25):
and anxiety and over half SAT provides an escape from
everyday life. Now the best way to experience Jomo travel
a beach house, secluded lakeside lodge, cozy, mountain cabin top
holiday home amenities that Kiwi Jomo traveler is seeking a
spar pools, pools and dex with a view, so you
get the picture of what we're after. There are plenty
of book about chimes across New Zealand, by the way,
that will bring your Jomo travel dreams to life. So

(19:47):
you need to go to expedia dot co dot NZ
search the unpacked travel trends and see what's hot in
travel Expedia dot co dot NZ. I vote likely, but
the choice of candidates is so poor it's difficult to
find anyone worth voting for. I feel you loved your
comedy spot Mike on Local Government Morning, Mike, why not
align the local body elections on the same day as

(20:07):
the government elections. The answer is confusion is my suspicion.
There's too much to think about for people, and they
don't think much of us in the first place. We're
not bright enough to work through that. Level of complexity
might read the local body politics. Perhaps we saw more
of the candidates between elections. Really, I mean, honestly, this
country has never been more buggered with infrastructural shambles. Councils
are in the news. In my forty plus years of caverage,

(20:30):
I've never seen more local council news up and down
the country than we do at the moment. I mean,
council and council is unfortunately in your face on a
daily basis.

Speaker 12 (20:38):
Six forty five International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
peace of mind for New Zealand business, cried.

Speaker 9 (20:45):
Richard, morning to you morning.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Now these league documents, what are they showing about Israel?

Speaker 15 (20:51):
Quite a bit? A couple of documents involved here in
the US government is investigating how this came about. These
describe satellite surveillance of Israelis to attack Iran. They appear
to indicate Israeli rehearsals for an attack in response, of course,
to the Iranian missile firings at the start of the
month on October the first, that Israeli reaction could come

(21:11):
at any time. The second document shows how Israeli is
shifting the placement of its own missiles and weapons in
case Iran responds again with more strikes of their own.
Mike Johnson, the US Speaker, says, the leak is troubling.

Speaker 19 (21:25):
The leak is very concerning. There's some serious allegations being made.

Speaker 11 (21:28):
There.

Speaker 19 (21:29):
Investigation underway, and I'll get a brief in on that
in a couple of hours.

Speaker 15 (21:32):
Well, these documents are the supposedly super secret National Security
Agencies Domain and the USGAA, the satellite agency. They were
marked top secret. So was this material leaked by someone
inside the US intelligence community, This information was shareable within
the Five Eyes Group, the intelligence group which includes the US, Britain, Canada,

(21:53):
Australia and New Zealand. Or was the information hacks That
is another possibility. Speaker Mike Consen says the UISH should
be backing Israel to the max in his view, in
its face off with Tehran.

Speaker 19 (22:05):
We can't appease Iran. Now is the time for a
maximum pressure campaign against the head of the Snake.

Speaker 15 (22:11):
Of course, the Biden administration serves Israel to take advantage
of the killing of the hamaslia ya Ya Sinwa the
other day to press for a ceasefire in Gaza. Instead,
we've seen Israeli tax on Gaza today with an account
of eighty people killed in that. Biden has been increasingly
at odds, it seems with Israel's PM Netanyahu. Kamala Harris
has said little read the Middle East catastrophe, while the

(22:33):
Israelis are saying nothing zip about this secret document's leak.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
And then we come to the election tillion times.

Speaker 15 (22:41):
A seems that way. Does that final spread at Shure
seems to be fun and games. Yeah, the Trump rallies
are increasingly weird. He spent a deal of time in
his latest event in Pennsylvania at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.
This was because the late golfer was born in that state,
but praising the golf champion's Penisi.

Speaker 11 (23:00):
Harmer was all man and I say that it all
due respect to women, and I love women.

Speaker 16 (23:06):
But this guy, this.

Speaker 11 (23:08):
Guy, this is a guy that was old man. When
he took showers with the other bros, they came out
of there, they said, oh my god, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 15 (23:26):
He paused for a moment here. Yeah, so that's the
camp paid focus right now. Although I suppose you crude
humor appeal to the bros and the group I don't know. Meantime,
Kamala Harris has been joined by a series of music's
lip Lizzo was alongside as she spoke in Detroit.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
They say, if Kamala winds, then the whole country will
be like Detroit.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
Who like Detroit.

Speaker 15 (23:48):
Rusher and Stevie Wonder rosted for the Harris campaign, says Harris.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
We don't want to have any regrets about what we
could have done these next seventeen days.

Speaker 9 (23:58):
So uh yeah.

Speaker 15 (24:01):
Elon Musk now has, as if vindicated, swapped his black
mega hat for a golden mega cap literally and set
up the sort of Trump supported lottery. Anyone who attends
a rally headline by eline must sign that petition a
quote in favor of free speech and the right to
bear arms end quote. Not at the rally, of course,
and Mosk is pledging each day a one million dollar

(24:21):
prize to the latest winner of the Musk Trump Lotto.
Some random person, he says, is that legal Wonder's Pennsylvania
Governor Josh Shapiro of the move.

Speaker 19 (24:31):
When you start flowing this kind of money into politics,
I think it raises serious questions that folks may want
to take a look at.

Speaker 15 (24:39):
Yeah, Yeah, heck, outside money in these elections has topped
a billion dollars on a puny million bucks. But law
professor Rickaisan says, no way is this election loto legal?
Maybe the US Supreme Court could consider that, or you know,
maybe not.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Okay, So you went to Richard Arnold State, so I
just probably lived. By the way, It's the great tobacco
debate in this country at the moment of heat, the
tobacco products in case you cassello and all that's starts
out over the weekend. In the States, tobacco use has
fallen to a twenty five year low among middle and
high school students. E cigarettes are the big go. Zin's

(25:12):
a big go at the moment as well, but fewer
and fewer people using it, which is encouraging. Eleven away
from seven.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
The mist Breakfast with the range rover of the Laws.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Mike I suggests there's a furvord of joemo in not
voting in local government that's actually not bad. Trump's in
Pennsylvania this morning. He's got the Ronald McDonald the apron
on which is a yellow, yellow, and red outfit, and
he's learning to cook chips.

Speaker 20 (25:39):
So how long did he stands probably three minutes, so.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
The initial shake, do you do a shake after that?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Not really a sake, not a shank, just just an
initial three minutes you put him in. So what he's
saying with chips is what you do as you put
them into the hot fat and there's a timer so
you don't have to count three minutes as a timer
and will go ding, and then you lift the chips out,
and then you might do the shape.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
And then presumably you meet them with a knife and fork.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Right, probably with a knife and fork. Speaking of jobs,
because he's talking about his job in McDonald's Seek this
morning if you've missed it, job ads are down twenty
nine percent on the year, but job ad volumes are
fell slightly month on month, dropping zero point five percent,
So not the end of the world. Could be bottoming out,
is what I'm trying to tell you. Five percent quarter
on quarter. Applications, now this is interesting. Applications per jaw

(26:27):
ad also fell for the first time in a year,
declining two percent month on months, So in other words,
not as many people are applying for the jobs that
are available, so that might indicate things are bottoming out
as well. The general sense of it all consensus is
that the unemployment rate still has a wee way to go.
Six minutes away from seven.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Are the ouse. It's the fizz with business fiber take
your business productivity to the next level.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Now, a little bit of insight to infrastructure and the
news of the bridge and organ not to bore you
with the bridge and Orkland, but the little estrian bridge
and Auckland that broke down in April. We got the
news in Auckland over the weekend that originally when we
opened up the little pedestrian bridge in the Windyard Quarter
a couple of years ago, it costs a bit over
three million dollars. And you think's three million dollars for
a bridge? Is that a lot? It's not bad. Some
mechanical bridge goes up and down allows the yachts to

(27:15):
come in three million dollars throat down in April. The
fact that it's still broken here in October heading into
novembers embarrassing enough. But the initial cost of fixing up
the little bridge that costs three million dollars in the
first place was seven million dollars. So it was going
to cost seven million dollars to fix the three million
dollar bridge until of course they looked at the numbers
of the winner's that seven million dollars about writing. Turns out
it wasn't. It's over ten million dollars. Now ten million

(27:37):
dollars to fix a three million dollar bridge. Still not
fixed though. Just that's what it would cost if we
had the money to spend the money to actually fix us.
So that's that's infrastructure, and how good at infrastructure we are.
I can also add to that the twenty twenty four
IPSOS Global Infrastructure Index, where twenty three thousand people have
voted US last in the whole world, last in the

(27:59):
whole world when it comes to delivering national infrastructure projects. Last,
equal in fact with Hungary thirty two countries. In the survey,
sixty seven percent of US say we aren't doing enough
to meet our infrastructure needs, no kidding, and that's gone
up every year from fifty five percent back in twenty nineteen.
Sixty seven percent put us fourth worst, while the global
average is at fifty six percent. Our satisfaction level with

(28:22):
national infrastructure is that? Is it a low number? Yes,
it is. It's twenty seven percent. It used to be
forty six, which was bad enough. That was in twenty nineteen,
but it's sunk now to twenty seven percent. Who are
the twenty seven percent who look at this country and
go tell you what pretty good?

Speaker 9 (28:40):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Who are the twenty What sort of idiot are you
that looks at the infrastructure of New Zealand and goes, oh, yeah,
what Alston Frenches that don't war? I'm still pretty happy.
The global average for satisfactions forty Singapore. Do you think
Singapore is quite good at infrastructure? Yes, they are. Seventy
four percent of people in Singapore think they are doing

(29:01):
a pretty good job. We're worse than the global average
on four out of ten metrics. We had some good
performances on airports. Have no idea why. The digital infrastructure
is pretty good, and I'd stand by that. I think
that's probably fair. Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand had better infrastructure
in airports than us. We are seventh best when it
comes to internet and other digital infrastructure. Our worst performances

(29:25):
were water supply, sewage infrastructure, flood defense, ev charging, and
new housing supply. And I don't think anybody would disagree
with any of that, or maybe the twenty seven percent would.
They'd be looking at the water and the ev charging go,
oh no, I'm pretty.

Speaker 9 (29:42):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
What do we do with the America's Peter Berling? He
drove the thing, so he's with us. Shortly then after
seventh thirty Grant Dalton here on the mic Hosking Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Your trusted source for news and fews, The mic Hosking
Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
To seven past seven's a job done in Barcelona for
Team New Zealand seven to. In the end of Ben
Angeley graciously says they're the best team ever. Skipper Peter
Burling with us, good morning again, very well indeed and
warmest congratulations. How does it feel compared to the.

Speaker 21 (30:14):
Others, Yeah, it's obviously a real surreal moment to know
that we've now won the America's Cup three times. It's
I think incredibly hard to compare it to any of
the other ones, to honest, it's they're all just so
different and special and they're their own unique ways. You know,
they've all got many cares in the road and the
challenges and the joys that go along with that, so yeah,

(30:37):
they're all incredibly special.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
The Angeley compliment that you're the best ever or the
team is the best ever? Does it feel like the
best team ever?

Speaker 21 (30:47):
Yeah, I mean having a complement like that from someone
of you know, Ben's caliber is I think incredibly special.
And you know it's always hard to judge her good
or bed team is from the inside. You to have
someone like that saying say something on that from the
outside is something definitely really proud of. But I mean
in be proud of the way the team put a

(31:07):
performance together that was was pretty amazing. Over the week
of the American's.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Car Have you started packing down or are you just
drinking a lot?

Speaker 21 (31:16):
What only finished yesterday? So I think when these things finishing,
you know, on in the adrenalineine ones, you start to
realize how tired you were. So, yeah, we definitely had
a bit of a celebration tonight. We've actually got another
team function. Sorry, we had a bit of a celebration
last night. We've actually got another team function tonight.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
And yeah, that's really unwinding fantastic. So what are your plans.
I mean, one of the things we're going to have
granted on the program later on, and he always does
that thing whereby we've got to lock the team down
for the next event. Are you locked down as the
team lockdown or is that all open to negotiation.

Speaker 21 (31:50):
I haven't even thought about it, to be honest. Yeah,
we've just just finished this thing, so just trying to
make sure we enjoy the moment and any things that
go on in the America's Cup. You know, post posting
have been finishing. But yeah, I think that's all for
down the road a little bit, just trying to enjoy
the enjoy the win.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Good on you. What do you make of the tech
involves in what we've seen over these last couple of months.
Have we reached peak tech?

Speaker 8 (32:14):
Well?

Speaker 21 (32:14):
I think one thing with technology and keeps evolving. You know,
there's a reason I suppose technology companies just things keep changing,
Computers keep getting better, you know your simulation tools AI. Yeah,
I think I feel incredibly privileged to be involved in
our sports through this period where the boats have just

(32:34):
changed an incredible amount, and you know, the way you
interact with the boat is very different. You know how
much data and means you have to improve things have
changed things and learn and yeah, I really love that
part of our sport with how complicated these boats are
and really trying to get the most out of them,
and now they'll continue to get better for sure.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
How does that dovetail into what you may or may
not go on to do and what you may or
may not have done previous in the forty nine ers
and stuff like that old world sailing versus what you're
doing in the America's Cup. Is that a you know,
does that mess with your mind or not?

Speaker 9 (33:07):
Really?

Speaker 21 (33:08):
Well, at the end of the day, you've still got
to pick some shifts and put the boat in the
right spot and have a good strategy around the racetracks
as well. You know, I think you saw that in
that that windy, shifty offshore day that you know, we're
really comfortable and that stuff where you're kind of but
more traditional in terms of having to place a boat
in some good spots around the racetrack. But yeah, I mean,

(33:30):
one of the really cool things about these boats is
how effishent they've got through the maneuvers, so you can
actually do a lot more maneuvers. You saw the interaction
the pre State go up a lot and also be
a lot more arrested around the racetracks. They're definitely really
fun to stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Between now and next time, and they say could be
twenty twenty six. What are you going to do? What
do you have plans?

Speaker 21 (33:51):
I've got no idea, to be honest for me, And yeah,
still carrying on with the black foils and sold Pisa.
Can I jump back into that and in November for
the start of next season. I'm looking forward to in
his old event in January there so that'll be it awesome.
But yeah, to be honest, I'm just looking forward to

(34:12):
having delivered a time off.

Speaker 22 (34:13):
It feels like we've.

Speaker 21 (34:14):
Been pushing super hard for for quite a long time now,
and yeah, just enjoying looking forward to a month off
for the family.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Good stuff. Will you enjoy that? Peter Berling with us
and we'll go back to Barcelona shortly and talk with
Grant dotting up to seven thirty eleven past seven pasking
your public Works Actor reviewed. Well that's sorted for now anyway,
What does it actually mean? While it's the law, the
public Works Actor is the lord that allows governments of
course to take private land for roads and schools, police stations,
that sort of stuff. Last significant amendment was back in
eighty eight. So the theory is by doing this we

(34:43):
will speed things up. The Land Information Minister Chris pink
is in chargeable or this, and he's with us morning
to you, good morning. So it sees all the recommendation
came back to you. The Act lacked clarity and common sense.

Speaker 14 (34:54):
What is common sense, well you might well ask, and
when it comes to you infrastructure, there's so many bits
that are missing and this is a really crucial bit
of a puzzle. So common sense means to be able
to get on and actually do the things that everyone
agrees is right to do, or in this case even
if people don't agree. You know, ultimately we need some
way of getting through so we don't end up with

(35:16):
years worth of litigation and discussion and arguments, so we
can get on and build those roads and schools and
hospitals and so on that everyone knows that we need.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
And so this is just fast tracking another version of
fast tracking.

Speaker 18 (35:28):
Well it goes with the fast tracking.

Speaker 14 (35:30):
So that work that Chris Bishop is leading says, we need,
you know, big projects in this country. We need to
get them done. And sometimes you know, when it's roads,
for example, that something Brown as Transport Minister is running,
you actually need some land sometimes to be able to
do that that the Crown doesn't already own. So we
don't want to fall at the last hurdle by having
unnecessary inefficiencies in the way that we go about.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Getting that the pushback that you've got on fast track
the bishop side of the fast track. Are you seeing
pushback on this because what you're suggesting essentially that house
over there, we need it, will take it. Thanks. Are
there we people who go no, I don't want to
and I need a lawyer and a court case and
a fight.

Speaker 14 (36:08):
Yeah, And to be fair, that does exist already at
the moment, So I'm really interested in doing the process better.
So we're not disrespecting private property rights. We're not trying
to rip people off in terms of the amount of compensation.
For example, we need people to be able to put
their best foot forward as far as that goes. But
it's just the share Edmund sometimes of saying, for example,

(36:30):
if there are more than one government agency or maybe
a local government outfit that's involved, they can actually band
together and do the thing together, because that's sometimes how
these things work. But the law hasn't caught up with
that modern reality.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
When's the legislation and it becoming law and when does
it get enacted?

Speaker 14 (36:48):
Well? With the review having now come back. I'm looking
at what I can recommend to fellow ministers go forward
as law changes, So that'll be a next year thing.
And you can imagine with the roads of national significance
that we've talked about as last year's election now a
year ago and in the past strict wheels now in motion,
that's going to be a pretty hugent proposition for us
to get that all through next year.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Good stuff, mate, preciate up. Chris Benker's the Land Information Minister.
Fourteen minutes past seven, Paskyke, how good is our infrastructure work?
Out here on the New Eastbourn Lower Hut all day Sunday? Yesterday?
We had traffic control working reducing our main road to
one lane. And the reason well there was a digger
on the other lane not working. No one except the
traffic control we're working with a car parking area less

(37:29):
than twenty meters away. You can't make this crap up.
Two stop go workers and a truck full of guys
to move cones. And that's why we vote on infrastructure
the way we vote on infrastructure. Mike, is this the
most successful sporting weekend in New Zealand history? America's Cup
Women's Tea twenty Black Caps Trouts India, Auckland FC Inaugural
Wind Silver Fern's Hammer Australia and I think the world

(37:49):
cycling's on as well, and we won some stuff there, Chris,
it's a very good point.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Fifteen past the Hike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on
iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Mike, you forgot, Liam Lawson, No, I haven't let me
come back to a man of moment seventeen past seven.
But a little bit of help coming to the health
system's way. We think it's a first of a can't
study scientists work out how to predict surges in demand
for hospitals, think winter flu spikes and stuff like that.
Stefan Albrush from the School of Computer Science at Augland
University with us on the Stephan Morning to you. Hello,
how generative is the AI that you're using in this?

Speaker 22 (38:25):
Oh? Pardon, can you please a repeat the question?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
How much AI is used in the prediction of this?

Speaker 22 (38:31):
Ah? So, in the current study, we are using the
state of the art AI algorithms, you could say. So
the two algorithms we focused a bit about are based
on artivision. You're a network landing. So this is quite
the state of the art concept that is used at

(38:54):
the moment here.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Okay, so how much of it is information fed in
from past patterns that help predict future patterns or is
it all literally generated from nothing?

Speaker 22 (39:06):
I know, it's really data driven, it's really data based.
We're using data that goes back to twenty twelve and
the major of these algorithms is to, you know, take
this data and try to find patterns, recurring patterns that

(39:26):
can be used again to match them to what happens
now to get a prediction for the near future.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Is there COVID in the numbers? And if there's COVID
in the numbers, that'll skew the numbers, won't it.

Speaker 22 (39:41):
That's a really interesting question I'm also very curious about.
So in the current study, we focused on data from
we always say pre pandemic, so we focused on everything
we got from twenty twelve to twenty nineteen, and we
are currently working on integrating data from post pandemic era.

(40:07):
And so first tests will run with having COVID numbers
in data, but we can then also test what happens
when we leave them out. And it's actually an interesting question.
We are wanting to answer with the currents leg with
ongoing studies is yeah, how how will it change when

(40:28):
we find off keep the numbers in or what would
happen when we removed the COVID cases? Yeah, yeah, exactly,
you're right, that's a that's a huge change when you
think about the data collected from before that these two years,
right and after these two years exactly percisely.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
That's why we'll stay in touch with the STEP and
see how it goes for a Stepano Bridge, University of Oakland,
School of Computer Science. We got a victory. We got
there in the end. More in a moment seven.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
The Mic Asking Break first full show podcast on iHeartRadio,
Call it by News Talk zeb.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Now many of us take daily supplements to support our health.
Key ingredients light, the fish oil of bartamin d. The
magnesium there top of the list. We love that stuff.
So the guys at about Health have combined these with
the very well researched ingredients created the Listers oil. You
got the RESV ultimate, you got the element twelve magnesium, right,
and that simplifies your health journey. So they bundled these
three nutritional supplements into what they're calling the Healthy Aging

(41:27):
and Deep Sleep pack. So as the name suggests, it
supports everything from the joint healthy energy, the immune, health
and the sleep. So upgrade your nutritional supplements to the
Healthy Aging pack today. Use the code breakfast. You'll get
a free insulated drink bottle that's valued at nineteen ninety five.
Stay hydrated the summer very important. Read the label. Take
only as directed, of course. Plus you will go into
the draw to win a great pro health pack and

(41:50):
that's valued at five hundred dollars about health dot co
dot n Z and on the telephone at eight hundred
triple nine three oh nine Pasky right oh seven twenty four.
Very good victory. On Friday for common sense, the Solicitor
General fell on her sword over the instructions to the
Prosecution Service promoting race So Monday on this program this
time last week we raised it. It seemed to us scandalous.

(42:12):
How did this happen? How does the government so explicitly
state the race card is no longer being played in
policy settings? And yet the SG the Solicitor General is
saying what she is to the police, having been advised
by this radical sounding mayor group drummed up out of
Andrew Little's famously well catered, just as gab Fest a
couple of years ago. By Tuesday, the media is still
asleep at the wheel and no one has touched it.

(42:32):
We raise it with the Prime Minister who forgot his backbone,
played the independence card and couldn't really do what he
needed to do, which was to close it down. By Wednesday,
David Seymour wonders allowed on the tiles at Parliament why,
when surrounded by the press gallery as he was, he
wasn't being asked about it given the questions he was
being asked about involved to he billboards. By late Wednesday

(42:53):
into Thursday, the media, god bless them, have finally been
stirred or embarrassed into some sort of action. The Herald
tries an op edish sort of peace, quite rightly, asking
a few questions around how the SG got herself in
this mess given her experience. Radio New Zealand bumbles out
of its slumber and gives it a bit of coverage.
Even TV three finally slaps together a little something for

(43:13):
their six o'clock effort. Friday, Judith Collins AG turns up
on ZB says what the PM should have said. It's
not on by Friday afternoon, very good time for a
press release. The SG says it came out all wrong.
It shouldn't have happened, soz about it. So a win,
But here is the issue for the government. One, you

(43:34):
can't promise policy and approach it and if you can't
deliver it. Two they clearly have a major issue with
the public service and pushback, so they need to do
something about that. Rightly or wrongly. The government are the
government and they make the rules. They won the election
rightly or wrongly, in no small part because of their
race direction policies. There is an expectation from voters that

(43:55):
they get delivered. But although this has been a win,
it should not have had to have been the fight
it was Fosking six. I haven't forgotten Liam Lawson. But
the point is that Liam Lawson hasn't won anything. But
he's about to start at the back of the field,
almost in the back of the field. George Russell's at
the back of the field. He's in the pit, so
he's so far at the back of the field he

(44:15):
doesn't even leave the car park anyway. He'll start back back.
Liam is at the back. What he did just to
bring you up to speed if you're not a big
F one fan. Is in qualifying in Q one yesterday
he posted the third best time in the field. That
is an indication of how good he is, and that
is him out driving the car. The car's not that

(44:38):
good he is. He didn't go on for reasons I
won't bore you with, because he was going to qualify
at the back. They didn't want to burn more tires,
so we didn't post a time in Q three and
the Q two and therefore didn't get through to Q
three and they used him to slip scream Sonoda. But
what he did in Q one is worth noting, so
he'll be looking to overtake the sobers. Mercedes are having

(44:59):
a sh shocking weekend. They're at the back of the field.
Hamilton didn't even get out of Q one, so he
might look to overtake him. So it's all to play for.
But also in the sports role, we'll get back to
Barcelona and see where next for the America's Cup. The
Team New Zealand boss Grunt dobblin with us after the news,
which is next to refuse.

Speaker 9 (45:15):
Talks mb.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Setting the news agenda and digging into the issues the
mic Hosking breakfast with the range Rover Villa designed to
intrigue and use talks.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Dead b coventry box. After IVINGHA Monday Andrews have will
go have else, of course, but there twenty three minutes
away from eight on related matters, merely a day after
the victory. The business so of the America's Cup turns
to the next time out a challenge of records being
received of course, so what's the time frame on the
next set of details? The team New Zealand boss Grunt
Dobbin's with us from Barcelona. Very good morning to you
and congratulations.

Speaker 23 (45:47):
No, thanks Mike, and thanks for the congratulations.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
And how does it feel with the team and all
of the talk about Ainsley You're the greatest ever and
all of that. How's that gone down?

Speaker 23 (45:59):
Well, it's been a full day work for the guys
today is you know, you would expect we were straight back
into it, but everybody's really, I think, really relieved as
much as anything. I mean incredibly proud, but relieved And
from sort of where I sit, this was a total
team effort. Now I know that's a cliche, but it
worked on every level and the Sailors delivered in Auckland.

(46:22):
You know they will be the first to admit they
weren't at their best, but here they really did. And
this is you know, they're up against strong teams and
you know they smashed it out of the park. I'm
incredibly proud of them.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
When you say strong teams, the results wouldn't indicate that.
So is there something going on that you know about
that we don't?

Speaker 9 (46:41):
You know?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
On the war seven twos are thrashing.

Speaker 23 (46:46):
Well, if you look at the deltas in terms of
up wind speed, you know, we get all the all
the data, and we compare the data and we look
at the attacking speeds and you build angles and the
whole bit between us and then of us. There was
almost enough thing in it. And in certain conditions when
they won those two races, when they were waves, you know,
you'd argue there a little bit quicker at times, and

(47:07):
certainly down wind they were always as far. So you've
got to string the race together. I mean, you can
have two cars that are exactly the same race cars,
that one will be better because the drivers are better.
And I think in the end, two organizations, two boats
that weren't dissimilar. Probably we had any edge at times,
but then the guys had the guys had to put

(47:28):
it on the water, you know. I mean it's already
well to have a quick boat.

Speaker 22 (47:31):
Took a salette.

Speaker 23 (47:32):
Well at this level, I mean at the top of
the food chain, and they really did Peet Nathan the cyclist,
two Key Andy, the coaches, with Joshi and Ray. I mean,
they really really did a good job.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Where are you at? We'll have the usual post America's
Cup conversation, Now have you locked the team down? Are
you locking the team down? What are you doing with
all of that?

Speaker 23 (47:57):
Well, nothing yet, it's just afterwards, but there's the conversations
that will happen pretty quickly. I think the thing is
that a team that wins almost needs to be more
brutal on itself than a team that loses because they're easy.
And I know after Auckland, we did a very very

(48:18):
thorough review and you know, ask ourselves the question, we've
just lost this America's Cup? Why did we lose it?
And we've got to ask ourselves in the same question
as an organization, we've just lost the next one? Why?
And you have to come up with the right answers
because you've got to make decisions. So I think the

(48:39):
easiest way to put it is the decisions that are
made in the next six months will be the winning
and the losing of the next America's Cup. And that's
the same for every team. You make your decisions now
and you better get them right.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
So in making those decisions, who's making them? In terms
of the other countries, you need more competitors, don't you.

Speaker 23 (48:58):
Well, there's two arguments to that. That side, you could
have a league which has ten boats and they're all
pretty much the same and everybody has a lovely time,
but that's what it is. That's a league. Or you
can have the America's Cup. I mean a league being
the Premiership or any league in any country at any sport.

(49:19):
Or you can have the top of the food chain.
You can have the highest technology, the best of the best.
And that's not for everybody. So there's two schools afford
to how the America's Cup should be formed going forward.
My personal feeling is not for everybody. It is only
for those that can deal with the technology, deal with
the intricacies of the team dynamics which are so big

(49:43):
and have the right people. So maybe another entry, but
I don't see more than another one. I never have
seen this as a ten team thing.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Would Do you have a sense of whether those who
turned up this time will be back for another go?

Speaker 23 (49:58):
Yes, I do, and I think without exception they all
will be. We're sort of aware of another one in
the wings. It's up to them. But you know, there's
a long way to go yet. There's no protocol, there's
no entry date, there's no venue, there's no nothing. We
just got through yesterday, all exhaled loudly, and got through

(50:22):
last night, and we'll start to think about it, which
you're pretty much straight away. Well today we started.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Now the challenger of record, assuming it's Britain, is it
anyos in that sense or is it just the British.

Speaker 23 (50:34):
Well, it's a yacht club regatta, remember, so it's the
Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. And yes it is INOS
as such or the British team, but it's a yacht
club regatta. Yacht club has been challenged by the Rawal
Yacht Squadron. So we've accepted that challenge and that happens
as you cross the finish line. But that's done. The
next job for that is to write kind of engagement

(50:57):
in terms of what we believe, because we discuss all
this that we believe certain things that we agree on,
like nationality, like cost restriction, things I like the class
of boat, and then form a protocol. And that's quite
a long process because I keep reading about how this
is always totally slanted to the defender because the defender
writes the rules. It's not. It is slanted, but it's

(51:20):
not a complete whitewash in that respect because you form
that agreement with your challenge of record, and that was
in us or the team and will be the team
this time as well, right, And.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
The chances of it being in New Zealand are what.

Speaker 23 (51:37):
Yeah, Well, I mean obviously I'm starting to get asked
that question, and I think it's a simple way to
answer it.

Speaker 18 (51:42):
To this.

Speaker 23 (51:42):
It is not off the table. It has never been
off the table. We never went away because the only
reason we left was to do what exactly just happened,
to keep an amazing team together and to win. So
if that amazing team can be kept together and we
believe that we can win, and we can ply a
viable of the int at home, we're coming home.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
The chances, as you sit here right now, hand on
heart are what.

Speaker 23 (52:09):
I haven't got a clue. I mean to be fair
to use it on. I've heard nothing, not a dicky bird,
not a boot, So I actually have no. I can't
actually aren't for that even with my hand on my heart,
because I'm heard anything.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Okay, right, go I make catch up soon. Grant Dalton
out of Barcelona for US The Sporting sixteen Away from.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Eight The Vi Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio
powered by News Talks.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
It be Hi, Mike. The Solicitor generals back down was
really important. But with her having this opinion and seemingly
thinking it was okay, It's no wonder this opinion permeates society,
including health news in it is true. But that's that's
what governments do. That's the whole point of top down leadership.
You know, you set the agenda and you implement your
policies otherwise, as per the democratic process. In three years time,

(52:55):
people go, well, hold on, you said you do a
whole bunch of stuff you didn't do, and so it's
up to them. Could happen? Mike, can't believe those public
servants salaries if you've missed that this morning. I can't
remember what the number was, but what wasn't paying enough attention?
It's over the point of the story is it's over
one hundred thousand dollars. The average public service salary is
an excess now of one hundred dollars. One hundred thousand dollars,
totally out of touch with reality and so far are

(53:17):
above comparisons the private sector. Blaming the last government and
have to ask whatever happened to Grant Robertson's salary freeze
on public servant It's a very good point. It wasn't
just a salary freeze. It was a salary freeze unless
there were mitigating circumstances, and that was thereout. But having
said that, the average salary, which of course the bulk
of the public servants are in Wellington, the average salary

(53:37):
has always been higher in Wellington than it has anywhere
else around the country. And if you look at the end,
I can't remember whether it's the median or the average
because it always gets complicated. The median and the average
salary in this country is in the seventies. If you
go to Wellington, it's in the early eighties. And so
to go from the early eighties to one hundred thousand
dollars is not that big a leap, and you're dealing
with professionals and people who make decisions and stuff like that.

(53:58):
The weirdest story on and I'm so glad this has
sort of died of death because it's sort of too
strange for words. And Andrew Bailey, he's at some function.
He tells somebody to f off, grab the wine and
f off. He does an L on his forehead and
calls him a loser. Now that's not the story that
fascinated me. The story that fascinated me was the story
that wasn't told that. It was the story of all
the questions you had as a result of the story

(54:20):
being partially told. And surely as the people who told
the story on Friday were telling it, did none of
them think to themselves, as I'm telling you this story,
there are lots of questions that are coming up here
that aren't being answered, therefore making the story sound really,
really random. And nobody seemed to extrapolate that out and go, naw,

(54:44):
just if you're wondering at this particular point in time
why a minister would work and walk into a business
and tell a person to grab some wine and f
off and make an L shape on his forehead. Does
that seem to you to be slightly unusual? Is it
possible that Andrew Bailey knows this person? Do they have
some sort of beef a previous time? Has Andrew Bailey
ever been to the business before? Does he have a
connection with the business. Was there a large group of

(55:05):
people who all knew each other or did nobody know
each other? Did Andrew Bailey literally walk into the room and,
never having met the man before, go hey, why don't
you grab some wine and f off, you loser? Because
that would strike you as extremely unusual. I've never met
a person in my life who's wanted into a place
they've never been to before, met a person they've never
met before, and told them to f off because they're
a loser. So clearly there's a whole lot of nuances
and subtlety.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
Did that wine for you?

Speaker 2 (55:28):
What sort of wine was it? Exactly? Was it read?

Speaker 9 (55:30):
Was it white?

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Et cetera. So all that nuance and subtlety the questions
to the answers you wanted tonight. Now, it may well
be that the people reporting the story didn't have a
clue what the answer to those questions were, but they
would still raise it. Obviously, as you listen to the story,
you've got some questions. Those questions I don't have answers for.
Will continue to investigate and look into those, but for

(55:52):
now this is all we know. In other words, the
reason the story sounds so weird, so wacky, so inexplicable,
is because most of the detail we don't have. At
no point was any of that said, and hence you
were just left with this strange business with Andrew going
why don't you f off with your wine and go home?
And you going, what's all that about? Ten away from eight, the.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate Hues Talk said.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Poll I failed to mention earlier on in the US race,
according to the markets, Kamala Harris has a seventy two
percent chance of beating Donald Trump. According to the Stop market,
seventy two percent chance of winning. And then we got
over the weekend the Emerson College Pole, which is an
interesting pollar, is it? The Emerson College Pole said that
she now has Harris a twenty four point lead among

(56:42):
voters who decided in the last month. Problem with voters
who decided in the last month is only one in
ten of them, So ten percent of voters decided in
the last month. Of those ten percent, she's got a
twenty four point lead, So you're dealing with a fairly
small number in that sent By the way, the America's
Cup will never be saying Auckland. Auckland Council are such
a negative response to funding and failed to recognize the

(57:03):
benefits of the upgrade of the waterfront fill. Golf was
anti it was bad luck that we had COVID of
course at the last event and never recognized the benefits.
MB had a negative approach. We failed to acknowledge the
technology and design advances. Why would Team New Zealand come
back to such an environment? They would come back if
the deal like that. I think at their heart of
hearts they would like to sail in New Zealand because
of course we've seen it in New Zealand and what

(57:25):
it means to the nation and what it means to
the sailing industry and all of those sort of things.
But at the end of the day, and I think
what many people don't understand is that when you win
the America's Cup, you actually own the America's Cup, so
you get to write the rules. And there's a value
in the host being the host. There's a cost to it.
Austin Texas pays F one to run the f one

T twenty World Cup. Of course. Craig mc millaner is

Speaker 16 (58:00):

Speaker 2 (58:02):
I reckon, what are you more excited about the White
Ferns winning or the Black Cats? Which is the singing?
What are those that in the here we go?

Speaker 16 (58:11):
Has it been like, Yeah, the party's going and the
girls are on the microphone and got the boom box going.
Like a special week hit for New Zealand cricket obviously,
but winning a World Cup is something very special. The
second one for the girls. Last one was in two thousand,
so a long time between during but just so proud

(58:33):
of the girls, the effort, the work that's got and
not only the girls that the staff as well, they
don't happen by accident, so I'm just so proud of everyone.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
It was a really complete performance today, fantastic. It started
off early. You know, they were chasing and they looked
to be setting a good pace where you're nervous it
in your point.

Speaker 16 (58:52):
We knew they were going to come out hard. This
house South Africa play and they have done it well
throughout the tournament. They did it well in the semi
final against Australia, so we just had to show some
composure when we've put a good total on the board.
The girls are better beautifully to put one sixty on
the board watching those conditions, we thought was an above
PAS score. So Africa we knew were going to come
out hard, so we just had to hold our nerve

(59:12):
and the girl's bowl beautifully. The fielding was outstanding and
it's been really good throughout the tournament and we got
what we were after.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Fantastic, mate, We'll go well, listen, I appreciate you stepping
out of the party forus. Craig McMillan, who's the assistant

Did you like I watched a bit.

Speaker 22 (01:01:32):
Of the football.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
I don't think I've ever seen a week in like this,
coming out of no where to win the White Ferns
on the back of that dreadful run unto the World Cup.
You had the black Cats winning in India, what first
time in forty years and Silver Fern's been in Australia
last night after being beaten by England, and that previous
series remarkable.

Speaker 18 (01:01:52):
Had on this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
This cycle we've.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
Got and winning what a couple of world championship titles
the tracks there was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Yeah, and we got the America's Cup so that was
good and it's just mean you got to you got
to address I think guy the America's Cup at the
end of the day. I mean, whether we like it
or not, follow it or not, whether it should be
here or not, blah blah blah. The fact is we
want the America's Cup and we're you know, we're brilliant
at the America's Cup.

Speaker 18 (01:02:17):
And that's good and one comfortably as well. Look, I've
made my thoughts on the racing side of things pretty
clear over the last few weeks. What I will say though,
is that I thought Peter among Montgomery made a couple
of pertinent points with Ryan Bridge earlier on this morning
around you know that there's so much more to this
than just the racing that goes into it. There's the
boat building side of things. And if you look at

(01:02:38):
place like Southern Spars, which has now become a global
kind of manufacturer when it comes or constructor when it
comes to boat building and that sort of thing, it's
massive for them. And then also on top of that,
you've got to remember that the syndicates like Luna Rossa
and Anios Britannia have if one, teams behind them in

(01:02:59):
terms of how they develop their how they developed their boats.
And so for Team New Zealand to go and absolutely
blitz well Britannia particularly, but the whole Reganna as a whole. Yeah,
I think that's quite a significant achievement.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
If we were an entrepreneurial country, Andrew, we would invest
in it the way we used to. We don't seem
to want to any more. We're too broke with too.
I mean, look at look at that footbridge.

Speaker 22 (01:03:20):
Yeah you look.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
Will it come back here? Probably not? And I can
sort of still understand that to a degree because they
need the money. They need the money to defend properly
against these richer teams. But how much money do you need?
And the fact that the America's Cup is safely locked
away at the yacht squadron again for another few years,
that that gives you home advantage, and home advantage should

(01:03:43):
be home advantage should be sailed at home. And yes,
Oracle sailed in Bermuda, and years ago a ling he
sailed in Valencia. But this is different. New Zealand's a
seafaring country. We've got great facilities already set up here
from the last America's Cup and also sailing conditions on
the golf or wherever.

Speaker 23 (01:04:03):
And here.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
Look, the figure that's been bandied around to me is
about one hundred mil. Mark Dumfy, the businessman who had
forty to fifty mil ready to go last time. My
understanding is he has that same amount of money ready
to go now, just needs the government and aucland Council
to get.

Speaker 14 (01:04:19):
On board as well.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Yeah, but that's the dysfunction, that's the problem, isn't it.
At the end of the day, That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
You Polina's want to be seen to be forking out
forty to fifty mili while the rest of country's on
its knees to it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Agree exactly, guy, the football I ended up watching a
little bit of the Auckland FC game and just a
smidge of the Phoenix. Is there a crowd thing brewing?
I mean, Auckland had a brilliant crowd, Phoenix didn't. So
what do we make of that? I mean, what does
that tell us about football generally, the interest in the
sides generally. I mean, I thought Auckland looked all right.

Speaker 18 (01:04:47):
I thought it looked great. I didn't see it live,
but I did watch the highlights and look, I think
part of it is, obviously it's a new franchise. People
probably want to go and see what it's like. I
think It's significant in that regard that they go and
then win, because a lot of those people are likely
to turn up again to have another crack. The atmosphere
looked good in terms of the Phoenix. Look, they've been

(01:05:09):
around a little bit longer, and I suspect are as
the season goes on, if the Phoenix play well, those
crowds will build. I think your crowd numbers generally fluctuate
quite a lot throughout the season, so I wouldn't read
too much into it and saying that seven thousand isn't great,
I suspect they'd want quite a few more than that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Andrews Tevil guyabelt whether his lawson has just overtaken Stroll.
He's now twelfth, so he starts at the back of
the field. He's already twelts into the field as an
odor on eight in eight at the moment, I mean,
these are remarkable things. This what there'll be Andrew, This
is what they'll be marking him against. Where does he
end up against Perez? Where did he start in the field,
Where does he end the race in the field.

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
I think it's been I mean if he finishes, say
top ten or ten or eleven.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
If he finish top ten, this will be a mirror.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
If he keeps his nose clean and the rest of
the race doesn't wrap it around the lamp post, which
I don't think he will.

Speaker 9 (01:06:19):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
The weekend has been quite remarkable for him because he's coming.
He hasn't driven that case, he said, I think one
or two tests in that car in the last twelve
months since racing. At last he's come and he set
that blistering time and qualifying yesterday, he's proved to everybody
that he belongs.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Definitely, Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think the point
that it was I don't know how widely it was made,
but the point in Q one yesterday he set the
third fastest time, which is like, you can't overstate the
importance of that, and the fact that the fact he
didn't qualify in Q two and three was for you
know reasons that he was at the back of the field.
They didn't want to burn tires and stuff like that.

(01:06:55):
So he's a good driver and he can drive fast,
and if he out drives the car, that's the he
to wald this. If he out drives the car, outperforms
to no, that possibly outperforms periz. That's that's when you
start to get to the pointy end.

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
Of it all and you're checking a couple of yellow
flags in this race has been a couple of ready
safety cars. Then that bunch is the field that gives
them more chances to pass exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Do you enjoy the weekend racing guy with the you know,
all the flash racing across the way?

Speaker 18 (01:07:20):
Yeah, there was absolutely some brilliant racing the everest the top.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
You told me to put my house on. I wish
I'd win and it got stone cold motherless.

Speaker 18 (01:07:28):
Last, if you had watched on Saturday Andrew, I see
if you had to watch on Wednesday as well on
the Ever Show see Bell and Fortina. Look, the top
eight horses were separated by less than two.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Do you do you when Andrew asks you guy, do
you say weird stuff to put him off the scent?
Is that what you say? You save your good material
for on air? And then when he asked you on
the QT, you're just tell me right.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
I'm sorry I missed your preview shows, but I didn't
have time to get out of the Workingmen's club during
the week.

Speaker 16 (01:08:00):
The jockey of.

Speaker 18 (01:08:01):
The Corefield Cup, the jockey of the Corfield Cup, Harry Coffee,
the winner of that on Duke Decesa was diagnosed with
cystic fibrosis when he was six weeks old and has
just lived his life with it ever since. Obviously, medicine
has helped the advancements of medicine, but is now Corfield
Cup winning jockey. That's a pretty bloody cool story.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Speaking of sad news, Chris Hoy and his announcement overnight
that carries terminal I mean, what do you do when
you're an athlete. You're healthy, you're well, you're at the
peak of your performance. It's not like you've sat there
drinking beer, you know, smoking drugs, ruining you know. It's
like it's unfair.

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
It's what it is, totally totally unfair. What about the
cricket guy, this is we should touch on that. Absolutely
staggering given the form of those two teams heading into
the weekend.

Speaker 18 (01:08:51):
Well, I can't remember if it was on the show
or not, but I recall last week saying something, hell.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
You said that whatsoever?

Speaker 18 (01:08:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:08:59):
Well at all?

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
I mean, when you give Andrew the tips on the
horses and ask the tips on the cricket, do you
actually know what you're talking about.

Speaker 18 (01:09:06):
We'll start with the White Ferns for starters. They went
into that tournament on a ten match losing streak. They
had been outclassed consistently leading into that tournament, and Sophie
Devine and at the time I thought, what is she
on about? She kept on saying that she was so
confident this theme, so positive about that what they were doing.
I think for so long they've relied too long on

(01:09:27):
the likes of Sophie Devine and Susie Bates and probably
Amedia Occur and they did need them in this tournament.
Absolutely all three of those players stepped up. But then
you look at other players like Brook Halladay, Eden Carson,
probably Georgia Plimmer as well. There have been I suppose
the next crop who have stood up in this tournament
that the White Ferns have needed for some time. I'm
delighted for them, particularly players like Sophie Divine and Susie

(01:09:50):
Bates as well in the media occur who have tried
so long to win a tournament like this, and they
won it in pretty convincing fashion. Yes, they lost to Australia,
but they thrashed India and they convincingly won this final.
And then you throw the black cap.

Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
I think the fact that that England and the Aussie
wound in the knockout stages or the latter stages helped them.
But you play what's in front of you, right.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Of course, you know exactly right, right quickie Andrew. I've
got numbers, eleven percent increase in NPC crowd figures, twelve
percent increase in broadcast numbers. So that's encouraging and Wellington
to Bay by plenty. That sort of gives it that
it's not the same old, same old, every year vibe
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
It's made it, it's made it interesting. I don't know
where the eleven percent came from, because I thought the
crowd and Wellington the Saturday night was dire. Hopefully more
turn up for the final on Saturday afternoon. But no,
it's it's the the fact that it's not cannib be
An Auckland and data Da da day I think has
added added some good interests bay plenty. I mean that
even one of for fifty years. So that'll that'll, that'll

(01:10:48):
be good next Saturday afternoon. But just back to the
cricket quickly, to black Caps, that was I mean for
a team to go into a game like that in
India out of form, a new captain, a lot of
a lot of a fair amount of turmoil and to
win Williamson to win it. And when that came Williamson
to win a match here against India year, that's that's

(01:11:10):
that's good in itself, But in India I thought it
was just.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Well, I mean, did take nothing away from it. It's great,
but does it not just tell you about the sort
of the crap shoot nature of cricket. I mean on
their day, No, I don't know, it's not over there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:21):
You can't blow it down to the toss alone.

Speaker 18 (01:11:25):
They won the toss, and they won the toss and
chose to bat and you didn't involve them out for
forty six.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Quick word, either of you guys seen any ratings for
the America's Cup. We rang them the other day and
they haven't supplied them yet, which always indicates to me
they're not keen to give them. Did anybody watched the
America's Cup here as an exercise or we don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
I don't know, don't know. Look, if it was held here,
of course would have been the roof, right, and if
it was in the time zone being here, yes, of
course it would have rated through the roof. Again, like
I mentioned last week, I looked at the ute figures
this morning, and I think the last race on Saturday,
oh yesterday rather garn at about three hundred thousand global

(01:12:09):
views on YouTube, which is not huge, right, But there's
people watching on other platforms as well at the America's
Cup website, so let's take that into consideration. But I
don't think there was massive interest in it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Interesting. All right, mate, You go well and we'll catch
up next week. Andrew Sevill go have belt every Monday
morning in the mic Hosking Breakfast, Day twenty two.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
The mic Hosking Breakfast with our feeda retirement community news

Now Bailey's real estate being prout one hundred percent key.
We owned and operated as more than just a legacy.
It is their promise to you. It means putting people first,
leading by local expertise and having a commitment to excellence
that enables kiwis nationwide to achieve their real estate goals,
whether it's residential, commercial, rural, or property services. Bailey's has
been supporting New Zealanders at every stage and every stage

(01:12:56):
for half a century. From humble beginnings, Bailey's Real Estate
has grown into New Zealand's largest full service real estate agency,
with one hundred officers and more than two thousand personnel nationwide,
stretching from Kerry Cary who went to Cargo to the Islands.
They're proud of this local legacy, proud that they've been
able to do things differently for fifty years and delivering
the local know how that gets the best results. Proudly

(01:13:16):
one hundred percent owned and operator. That's Bailey's Real Estate.
To learn more about their service offerings, Bailey's dot Co

NZ licensed under the Area Act of two thousand and eight.
Asking the lawsons now eleventh you cannot and I know
I bore you regularly with F one. But you cannot

(01:13:39):
overstate what he's doing in this race. When you start
at the back of the field under normal circumstances in
a car that's limited, which a vcarb car is, you
would expect maybe one or two positions if things fail
your way and you got a bit lucky, and the
hire strategy was right and the pit stops were good
and all of that. But to start at the back

(01:14:01):
of the field in twentieth although technically, of course Russell
started in the pit, but say nineteenth, and to force
your way to eleventh now with one safety car having
just overtaken, Alonzo having overtaken, both Williams having overtaken some Elpines,
another rest and Martin in the form of Stroll to
be eleventh having started at the back of the field,

(01:14:22):
with the race still unfolded. I don't want to jinx
the guy, and plenty can still happen. It really could
be one of the big talking points of the day.
If he is out to impress his bosses at RedBull,
he is doing a fantastic job. As we speak news next.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to Mike,
the costing Breakfast with Veda, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way
News to be.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Lawson's currently eighth and so don't get too excited about
that because there's some pitting going on. Sonoda, who is
above him in the field, has just pitted Lawsons on
hard tires, so they're going to run him along. But
I think, well, Martin Brundles seeing it.

Speaker 26 (01:15:02):
This is exactly the kind of performance Lawson needs to
put in and if he does, I can see him
as the staffand's teammate next year at Red Bull if
he drives and really outperforms this car.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
Yeah, as I said soon before the news, it is
hard to overstate how well he is doing.

Speaker 24 (01:15:22):
Crofty agrees they have Lawson started nineteenth for this race,
Sergio Perez started ninth. There's four and a half second
separating them on the track at the moment, and Lawson
has been doing a fair bit of overtaking to try
and get a bit nearer to the scene that he's
aiming for, I think in two thousand and twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
So that's the sort of commentary you're hearing. So the
expectation for Lawson in his first race was just sit
in the field, do the lips, get the experience, bring
it home, don't date the cow will start concentrating on
doing something really good in Mexico next week. The fact
he is where he is currently eighth in the field.
He hasn't pitied yet others have is little short of

(01:15:59):
a stom twenty two to.

Speaker 12 (01:16:00):
Nine international correspondence with ends an eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Across the tamaste past.

Speaker 16 (01:16:08):
Very good morning to you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
Where's Oscar Piastree is currently? It's a good question. They're struggling,
but this weekend he's currently fifth and Norris's fourth are
so Leclair's leading behind the Stappan who had pole but
blew it. Sciences third, Norris and Piastree fourth and fifth,
so they'll both be in the They'll both be in
the money by the end of the lace.

Speaker 20 (01:16:30):
I think with Lawson and Piastre, we've got two superstars
and genuine probable world champion.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
If Pstre's a rare talent, I think he's absolutely brilliant
and they're a side set for life because they're only
about twenty one years old, both of them. Hey did
you catch up with Charles over the weekend? Did he
come around for a little drink or something.

Speaker 20 (01:16:47):
No, he snubbed Melbourne completely. He's only going to Sydney
and only going to Canberra. He'll be in Canberra this morning.
This is the day where there was a reception to
be held at the Parliament House in Canberra, and all
of the premiers, or most of them Labor, have snubbed
his visit and won't even bother to turn up, including

(01:17:08):
Cindra Allen from Victoria, all of the Labor premiers in fact,
they've all decided they've got a very heavy diary today
and they're unable to go and see him. I think
it's completely nut of disgrace and they should be ashamed
of themselves. They could have easily gone up there, sat there, politely,
listened to what the King had to say and then
left again. A few protesters yesterday outside a church in

(01:17:28):
North Sydney, most of them the anti Israel, pro Palestine types.
They were screaming about how sovereignty had never been seated
in Australia. He had blood on his hands, he shouldn't
be here. All the normal suspects there are only about
twelve of them there. The reasonable crowds turned out at
the Opera House to see Camilla and Charles and the
crowds in Cameron will be pretty genteel. It's a very

(01:17:50):
quick visit. Of course, he's still undergoing cancer treatment which
is put on hold for this trip. But he's been
here a remarkable sixteen times now since he was a
sixteen year old boy when he went to Timbertop, which
is a remote the campus of the Geelong Grammar School.
He went there for two terms when he was a
sixteen year old. He obviously loves Australia exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
Then he's off to chog him and somewhere in the
next couple of days when the government busied themselves attacking
Dutton the way they are at the moment, do many
people see this for what it has won. This is
a guy who was unelectable allegedly not so long ago,
now looks very really you know, he's the real deal.
Coupled with the fact that the government had no end
of problems and it just looks like a deflection tactic.

Speaker 20 (01:18:33):
Yeah. Look, he's a pretty easy target. But what they
don't seem to have collectively in Canberra, the Federal Labor
Party is a memory because they tried to do the
same thing to Tony Abbott, you might recall, and Abbott
went on to win a handsome majority in an election
had a majority of sixteen seats. I mean Malcolm term

(01:18:53):
Will then destroyed that by pulling Abbot down, getting rid
of him, and lost all but one of those seas.
So I don't know why they think they can do
this to Dutton. But the Australian's reporting this morning, Mike,
but Peter Dutton's arrogant, aggressive and reckless personality is what
they are going to fight the election on. They're not
going to fight on their own policies, but according to

(01:19:14):
this leaked report, his persona will be contrasted. This is
Albanesi's with Peter Dutton. They're going to talk about how
he's made bad decisions. So it seems that they're going
to say, look, yeah, okay, we've broken a couple of promises,
but look if you get this bloke in charge, you're
going to regret it.

Speaker 9 (01:19:32):
Now.

Speaker 20 (01:19:33):
The Australian quotes a source saying, quote our campaign, we'll
ask Australians what will Peter Dutton's arrogance cost you? He's arrogant,
aggressive and reckless, which is why Australians can't see him
as Prime Minister. Doesn't have a plan for the economy
or cost of living. He's a policy for his own Well,
I don't know how they can say that given he's
out there saying he's going to introduce nuclear energy to

(01:19:53):
Australian star. So I just don't believe that's going to work.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Exactly what's your housing plan in Melbourne?

Speaker 20 (01:20:00):
So it is going to cause a major problem there
for the government because the just center. Allen announced yesterday
that suburbs and I know you know Melbourne, well like
two raq Armadale, Brighton and Sandingham. Now when I say
those four suburbs, they are four of the most expensive
suburbs in a city which is going to have seven

(01:20:20):
million people in it. She's going to fast track developments
next to train stations and tram stops where fifty new
activity centers will be built. And these will include housing
towers and I hate it when they call them housing
their apartments of somewhere between ten and twenty stories high.
That's what the Labor government leaves is the solution to

(01:20:42):
the housing problem. Well, that is ridiculous. I mean, if
you build a ten let's take a ten story apartment
tower in tu Rac Village, which is one of the
areas that she has said she's going to build in Okay.
So someone buys that, if they can afford to buy it,
where are they going to shop? I mean, I can't
afford to go to the butcher shop Interact Village. I
mean the state's probably one hundred dollars a key line.

(01:21:03):
I mean, it's just ridiculous. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Have you had the talk also and the previous labor
government here, They obviously all get their same policies from
the Labor Party policy pot, but they have a sort
of a capture tax. So in other words, if you
build your apartment tower next to a railway station, you
get taxed more because you've got easy access to public
transport all that stuff. Do they talk about that?

Speaker 20 (01:21:25):
Absolutely, that's exactly the program. I mean, And this is
where that suburban roll lives that they're building underground. That
is also going from seat to seat to seat that
they think they can win at the next state election.
So it's not about solving problems. And this stuff will
take forever to be built if it is ever built. Yeah,
and no one's going to be able to afford to
buy these joints and it's just ridiculous crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
Hey, the Herald Sun column you did over the weekend
on the situation of Melbourne Radio, is that behind a paywall?

Speaker 20 (01:21:53):
Well, yeah, probably, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Nice but I was just going to recommend it to people.
That's all that I read it. It's a very good insights.
I mean, you make a number of interesting points, and
not that people here would be particularly fascinated with Melbourne Radio,
but the overarching point is that you know, radio in
general is unfortunately in certain areas, just a bit crap
and not what it was.

Speaker 20 (01:22:13):
Yeah, the ABC has completely fallen off the planet. But
one of the comments I got, which I found very
interesting was someone suggested that what I should do if
I don't like Melbourne Radio, which was the point the column,
I should turn into one' z'b in New Zealand. Yeah,
and that there was a bloke on there called Mike
Hoskin who's very good at breakfast time. I mean, clearly

(01:22:34):
that person doesn't listen at whatever time it is now
that I talk to you to us a work because
I've been doing it now for forty five years precisely.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Anyway, that needs to go all right, nice and nice,
nice talk you mate. We'll catch up on Wednesday if
you can be bothered getting beyond the paywall. The Herald Sun.
He makes some very interesting insights into in radio and Australia,
and some of them are applicable in this particular part
of the world. And as he points out in the article,
he's been around a very very long time and done
a lot of very interesting things over the years. But
it's very nice of whoever that person was. I switched

(01:23:04):
to z'b in New Zealand loved listening to the presenters.
Mike Hoskin, somebody in Melbourn's listening, which is nice to know.
Eight forty five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard
By News Talks at b.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Twelve minutes away from nine. My favorite person over the
weekend was Matt Garman. He's the cloud boss at Amazon.
He had an all hands meeting and he said, basically
to all the staff, and there's quite a few of them,
thirty seven thousand, if you don't agree with this new
five day in the office mandate, you can leave. You
like it, no props, bye bye. I like people like

(01:23:40):
that tell you the other funny thing. Lawson, by the way,
remains in the top ten. I don't want to get
too excited because he's got to pet at some point,
and depending on where he pits and how he pits,
and how it goes and what sort of tires they
stick on him and whether it sort of lasts at
the end of the race. They're about halfway through the
race at the moment, but to be in the top ten,
to be ninth is something. He's out there by himself.

(01:24:01):
He's about three seconds behind Russell, and he's a couple
of seconds ahead of Colapina, who's currently in tenth, but
he hasn't pitted yet any years on Hard Times I
was watching over the weekend, there's a guy called Sam
Tui who is a vlog an av geek, and I
think a lot about this country and where it is
and what's wrong with it and what needs to be

(01:24:21):
fixed and attitude and desire to be better and all
of those sort of things. And the other country I
often think about too is Hong Kong, because there's a
tremendous amount of sadness associated for me with Hong Kong.
It is not what it once was, and ever since
the Chinese rolled in properly and started changing all the
rules and cracking down it. Suddenly all came back to

(01:24:41):
me over the weekend. So anyway, Cathe Pacific. The only
reason I got onto this was the Herald wrote a
piece the Herald. One of the people in the Herald
got flown up to Hong Kong. Cathe Pacific had launched
a new business class product, and so they flew somebody
up there and they wrote wax lyrical about it and
all that sort of stuff. Anyway, I go to Sam Chui,
who's the this very experienced airline blogger, flogger whatever, and

(01:25:05):
he is from Hong Kong, and he's at Hong Kong Airport.
And if you've ever been to Hong Kong Airport, it's
a fantastic airport. It's a great airport for looking at planes,
and he loves looking at planes. Excuse me. One of
the things he's noticed, he said, even now, is that
the foreign airlines have not come back. He says, he
looks out the window. All he can see is Cafe

(01:25:26):
Pacific planes. The foreigners aren't back. The planes aren't back.
Those who are back aren't back. In the volume that
they once were, and he said, I think, and being
from Hong Kong, I think I've seen the heyday of
Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties when I was
growing up, and I thought, what a tragically sad thing
as a local to have to admit that the Chinese

(01:25:47):
have rolled into a place that was once booming and
in essence bugged it up. I don't think I'll ever
go back to Hong Kong because I know for a
fact it isn't what it once was. And I've been
there when it was what it once was and thought
it was one of the greatest cities in the world.
And then to look at a local say that, you
think what a shame. Ah nine away from nine.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
The hosts with the range rover.

Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
Lawson's in seventh. But once again there's a lot of
pitting going on, and Lawson hasn't pitted because he's on
the hard tire. So it's going to be interesting to
see how long they run him, and then once they've
run and what they put him on for the latter
part of the race. Perhaps one of the talking points.
I mean, we're all going to get immersed in this eventually,
aren't we. If you've not been an F one fan.

(01:26:33):
The fact that there's a new Zealander in there, and
not only in there now on a permanent basis, but
in there in a way that perhaps fingers crossed, we
didn't realize just quite how good he was. We're all
going to have to learn how the tire strategy works
and the pit stop strategy works.

Speaker 20 (01:26:49):
The commentators are going to have to learn how to
tie the work.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
They often make that mistake. They often go in saying
this will be a two stopper, not a one stopper,
and you talk about the degradation on the track and
the mount that tires burned through and stuff like that.
So there's a lot still to play for. But thirty
laps down at seventh he will have to put and
he'll lose some positions in pitting, and it just depends
on whereabouts that's going to all unfold. But it is

(01:27:13):
fair to say at the stage anyway, he is doing
way better than anybody one expected. And dare I suggest
hoped for five away from nine.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
Trending now with chemist Well's keeping Kiwi's healthy all.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Year round, just let me plant the seed next season
for Stappin and Lawson Red Bull Oh that's as good
as it gets. If you're interested in watching a movie today,
AIS come up with it. Algorithm has named the movie
Airplane Airplane from nineteen eighty and Algorithm as the funniest
movie ever made hit rate of three jokes a minute,

(01:27:51):
two hundred and sixty one jokes in its eighty seven minutes.
What's the best one? Here's what Glenn thinks is the
best one, gentlemen.

Speaker 23 (01:27:58):
Let's go to work.

Speaker 19 (01:28:00):
Hunger, didn't you served under over and the air force
directly technically?

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Done was under over and I was underdone.

Speaker 20 (01:28:06):
Yep, so done?

Speaker 12 (01:28:08):
You were under over and over under yep.

Speaker 23 (01:28:11):
That's right.

Speaker 22 (01:28:12):
Done was overhunger and I was over done.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
So you see, both done and I were under over.
And even though I was underdone.

Speaker 23 (01:28:19):
Done was overhunger and I was overdone.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
Pretty good, is it? Glinch?

Speaker 13 (01:28:27):
We always confused me?

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
Is that the airplane movies were called flying high here
when they came out?

Speaker 9 (01:28:31):
Or were they?

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:28:32):
I think it's because we don't call them airplanes. We
call them airplanes.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
That's true. You know what, I'm not gonna watch that one.
Have you never seen it? Leslie Nielsen in his base
Mate Leslie Nielsen was quite good. I'll give you that.
But with the f one in the NFL today and
it's a sunshiny day where I am in the world,
I'm just thinking that you can take that algorithm and
stick it where the sun don't shine. See how we go?

(01:28:56):
That is us. We are twenty percent through the week, alreak.
That's one way of looking at it. Only you are
while Stephen fries on tomorrow about time. We've been building
up to Stephen Fry for a long time, haven't we been?
At long last, We've obviously reached agreement with Stephen fries
Camp and he's agreed to come on the program. So
Stephen Fry among others, when we join you tomorrow morning

(01:29:18):
