Maker Of Wild Turkey And Grand Marnier Tumbles After North American Sales Go Flat

Shares of Italian spirits group Campari, maker of Aperol, Wild Turkey, SKYY vodka, and Grand Marnier, plunged the most in European trading since May after an unexpected decline in third-quarter North American sales.”In North America, we are still growing, just to be clear, but the overall growth trajectory for this year is being impacted by the US,” CEO Simon Hunt told analysts on the company’s earnings call.Third-quarter sales rose 3.2% to 777 million euros, exceeding the Bloomberg Consensus estimate of 761.8 million euros. Strength in Europe and developing markets offset weakness elsewhere, allowing Campari to maintain its full-year organic net sales growth forecast of about 3%.Dismal performance in its North American market sent Campari shares spiraling as much as 7.5% in Europe. Organic sales in the region fell 2%, versus expectations of a 2.7% increase, according to Jefferies analysts.Jefferies analyst Edward Mundy said there were “some bright spots,” highlighting the performance of aperitifs and the European business.”However, the group organic print is inline and North America -2.0% misses cons +2.7%,” Mundy wrote in a note to clients earlier.RBC Capital Markets analyst James Edwardes Jones attributed the weakness in North America to the part of the portfolio outside tequila and aperitifs.Barclays analysts noted, “The US is a tale of two portfolios, and the better half is also the more profitable one. The watch points are US softness outside aperitifs and tequila.”UBS analyst Pilar Rocafort wrote, “FY26 guidance was confirmed, although the regional mix has shifted toward stronger Europe and marginally declining North America. The top-line mix could put some pressure on the shares.”Whether gasoline above $4 a gallon is squeezing spending on premium spirits or weaker demand reflects a broader decline in alcohol consumption among younger Americans, Campari faces a challenge shared across the industry: how to reinvigorate its brands in the US.

Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Dana Bash of CNN recently appeared on the Anthony Scaramucci podcast and claimed – with a straight face – that President Trump doesn’t face much pushback, then went on to say he doesn’t face as much as anyone else would.
This is how completely out of touch with reality these people really are.
Does a day even go by when Dana’s own network doesn’t accuse Trump of some insane, imagined, act of wrongdoing? Their entire brand is built on ‘pushing back’ on Trump.
The entire Democrat Party is currently running on ‘pushing back’ on Trump. What is she even talking about?
From Jason Cohen:
CNN’s Dana Bash claims Trump *BARELY* gets “PUSHBACK”
Bash asserted Trump only gets “a little bit” of resistance — and “not as much as any other living human being would.”
Wrong. The reverse is actually true.
Trump gets bombarded with unprecedented “pushback”:
– Assassination attempts
– Constant negative media coverage
– Democrat and Fake News hoaxes
– Impeachments
– Indictments
– Lawfare
– Protests
Just because Trump is the Teflon Don and has mastered The Art of the Comeback doesn’t mean he doesn’t face “pushback.”
Here’s the video:

This is why no one trusts the media anymore.
The fact that Dana Bash can say this and possibly even believes it, shows how out of touch they are with o many average Americans.
Trump supporters have heard nothing but pushback from Dana and her media colleagues for more than a decade now.

The post LOL! CNN’s Dana Bash Claims Trump Doesn’t Get Much Pushback, Not as Much as Anyone Else Would (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

A cruise ship company offered a multi-year trip for people who were upset that President Donald Trump had won a second term and wanted to avoid the U.S. during that time.
They paid tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars to live on the Villa Vie Odyssey cruise ship for the term.
Now they’re not.
That’s after the cruise ship corporation ran out of money and ordered the passengers, hundreds of them, off the ship to find their own accommodations in Cambodia. And to find their own travel home.
A report at Reuters cited the situation of Paul and Lynn Montoya, from Colorado, who said they sold their house and cars so they could buy a $179,000 cabin on the ship, paying another $6,000 a month in “fees.”
It lasted 17 months until the cruise company ordered them, and 200 others, to take their pets, their personal items, and leave the ship.

Passengers on an “eternal” American cruise unexpectedly disembarked in Cambodia due to fuel costs. Some passengers had sold their homes and all their possessions in order to live permanently at sea. Around 200 passengers found themselves stranded. People were given only a few hours to prepare. The organizers even failed to help them find accommodation in nearby hotels. The cruise began in 2024 and was supposed to last for several years. Fuel costs had risen from $1800 to $6000-8000 (from 145,000 to 484,000-645,000 rubles) per cabin per month. The company itself claims that it is looking for temporary housing options. By the way, this is the same cruise company that, in 2024, offered to spend the duration of Trump’s term in office on a round-the-world cruise. Now, Trump is simply obligated to save this cruise!

The report said Paul Montoya confirmed, “We just saw it as a great opportunity to be able to see the world.”
He said, “They’ve run out of money. That’s why they couldn’t buy fuel. They’ve even had difficulties paying the crew on the ship, which even makes it more difficult. So we’re really not expecting any money back.”
The company said it was trying to restructure.
Paul Montoya explained there were signs of trouble: “And then when we got to Cambodia, absolutely no internet. And the food quality began to deteriorate about three months ago, and we knew that the company was running out of money at that time.”
Not the Bee reported, “Rather than keep them apprised of the situation and offer them options, the cruise line gave their passengers only eight hours to get off the ship and find lodging in Cambodia.”
The cruise line blamed Trump.
Its statement said, “Since the (Iran) conflict began in late February, we have taken significant steps to reduce fuel consumption, including slowing the itinerary and spending more time in port. Those measures have not been enough to offset the extraordinary increase in fuel costs, and we have been unable to continue carrying the resulting operating losses.”

Kamala Harris Warns Democrats Against Impeaching Trump If They Capture Congress

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday cautioned congressional Democrats from moving to impeach President Donald Trump if they prevail in the midterm elections.”I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea, just to be honest with you, just because we have limited resources,” Harris told MeidasTouch in an interview published on Tuesday.”I think the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations,” the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee, who lost to Trump, also said. “And that’s where the time should be spent.”Harris noted that she was in the Senate during the last attempt to convict Trump following a House impeachment.The House requires a simple majority to impeach a president, while the Senate requires two-thirds of the upper chamber to vote.”The votes aren’t there,” she added. “Think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done.”Trump was impeached twice: once in late 2019 following a whistleblower complaint over a call he held with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and a second time in early 2021, just days after the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.Both impeachment attempts failed to meet the two-thirds threshold needed to convict.In the 2019 attempt, House Democrats alleged Trump engaged in crimes worthy of impeachment over what they claimed was an attempt to pressure Ukraine’s government by using military aid in exchange for investigations into then-Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.The second impeachment was launched after the Jan. 6 incident, when Democrats and a handful of Republicans accused Trump of trying to incite an insurrection with his remarks before the Capitol breach and after the 2020 election.The remarks from Harris come amid chatter that Democrats, if they capture the House of Representatives during next week’s election, could move to impeach Trump or a top White House official.Democrats Target HegsethHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) was asked over the past weekend whether he would support an impeachment resolution that was introduced last month targeting Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.”We’re going to hold him accountable in the same way that we held Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem accountable,” Jeffries, who would be poised to become the next House speaker if Democrats win, told MS NOW on Oct. 24.He was referring to the Trump administration’s previous attorney general and Homeland Security secretary, respectively.”And Pete Hegseth needs to be pushed aside by the president, or we’re going to have to deal with that situation if he is not,” Jeffries said, adding that Democrats would attempt to “run him out of town.”When asked whether he would support the resolution, Jeffries did not commit to impeaching Hegseth.Instead, the House minority leader said he would be inclined to “act consistently with what [he has] said relative to Pete Hegseth from the very beginning,” which is calling for his firing.Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who lost his primary bid earlier this year and is leaving the House, introduced a resolution in September to impeach Hegseth and said the conflict with Iran was unlawful, as Congress did not approve it.Massie also said that the U.S. military engaged in unlawful strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific; an alleged attempt to retaliate against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a former armed service member; and in other policy initiatives launched by the Pentagon.In response to the impeachment proposal, a Pentagon spokesperson told media outlets that Hegseth has acted in the interest of the Department of War – the preferred name used by the Trump administration for the Department of Defense.”Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs,” the spokesperson said.”Secretary Hegseth has slashed bureaucracy, unleashed innovation, and delivered for our warfighters every step of the way.”

The father of Golden State Valkyries star Tiffany Hayes wasn’t shy about blaming the WNBA for playing a potential championship-clinching game at 12:30 p.m. on a Thursday.”I think it’s the league’s fault,” Renard Hayes told OutKick outside State Farm Arena before Game 6 between his daughter’s Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream.”It’s the league’s fault. And pretty much the Atlanta organization.”VALKYRIES STARS TELLS FANS TO ‘CALL IN SICK’ FOR GAME 6 AS EARLY WNBA FINALS TIPOFF SPARKS FAN REACTIONHe wasn’t alone in questioning the arrangement. Fans outside the arena described taking time off work, pulling children out of school and traveling hours to attend a game originally scheduled for 8 p.m.The WNBA moved Game 6 to the afternoon to accommodate a doubleheader at State Farm Arena, where the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks were scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers that night. Golden State entered Thursday with a 3-2 series lead and a chance to win its first championship.Hayes, who said he lives in Florida, could make the early start work, but he expressed concern for the people who couldn’t.”It’s kind of a shame about how they couldn’t handle the situation better or couldn’t be more prepared,” he said.DREAM OWNERSHIP GROUP VOICES FRUSTRATION IN OPEN LETTER OVER WNBA FINALS VENUE CONCERNSFor Golden State fans watching in California, the game’s start time was 9:30 a.m.”Probably have to take a break off work, take the day off or whatever like that,” Hayes said. “But for me, I’m good with it. I’m okay with it.”He pointed to Golden State’s experience relocating a playoff game to San Jose last season as an example of having an alternative ready. He also questioned whether the Dream’s roughly 3,500-seat regular home, Gateway Center Arena, could have accommodated the demand for a Finals game.Moving to State Farm Arena created room for more fans, but moving the start time created another obstacle to getting them there.”We came from four hours away, so we’re not too thrilled. But we’re here,” one Dream fan told OutKick, adding that the child accompanying her was out of school for the game.Another Atlanta fan said she had been able to get off work, but recognized that others wouldn’t have that flexibility.”For all of the other Dream fans, it’s not ideal,” she said. “We would have rather played at nighttime.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEAnother fan declined to appear on camera, telling OutKick she had called out sick and didn’t want her boss to see her at the game.A father attending with his wife and two children offered a clarification after his interview: “We’re responsible parents, we swear!”He said the children had attended school for two hours before leaving and completed all their work.Several fans questioned why the NBA’s regular-season game received the evening slot while the WNBA’s potential championship clincher was played during the workday.”We should have been prime time,” one Dream fan said.The father who brought his family called the arrangement “kind of disrespectful to the Dream,” pointing out that the Hawks were only beginning their season.The Hawks agreed to move their game to 8 p.m. to accommodate the doubleheader. But fans who spoke with OutKick argued that the Finals should have received priority.One Valkyries supporter said the women deserved more respect and should have gotten the prime-time slot. Still, he welcomed the opportunity to play in a much larger arena.THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!”It’s awesome that it’s being played at State Farm Arena rather than a 3,500-seat arena,” he said. “So with that being in mind, I think that’s a win regardless.”Not everyone objected to the early start.One Dream fan said she was fine with it and encouraged people who couldn’t attend to support the team wherever they were. A Valkyries fan who had arrived from San Francisco at 6 a.m. dismissed the suggestion that she might be tired.”No. We’re ready,” she said.The league announced the scheduling change Monday, three days before Game 6, with tickets going on sale that afternoon.Commissioner Cathy Engelbert praised the sellout crowds at State Farm Arena for Games 3 and 4 and emphasized the opportunity to accommodate thousands more fans. The league also announced plans for a coordinated promotional push with its broadcast partners to build awareness of the new start time.OutKick asked the WNBA why it chose the afternoon start, what alternatives it considered and whether it was concerned about the potential impact on viewership. The league has not responded.USA Sports, which is airing the game on USA Network, acknowledged that the afternoon start wasn’t ideal for attracting a television audience.”The daytime window isn’t perfect from a TV audience perspective, but the league had to make a really difficult decision taking a lot into account across multiple stakeholders,” a USA Sports spokesperson told OutKick in a statement.”What was important to us was to ultimately be a good partner and to be part of the solution here.”The fans outside State Farm Arena found ways to make Thursday work. Some took time off, and others brought children who otherwise would have been in school.Hayes was happy to be there for his daughter, but that didn’t mean he thought the league had handled the situation well.
