1 00:00:09,093 --> 00:00:12,693 Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talks EDB. Follow 2 00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:16,133 Speaker 1: this and our wide range of podcast now on iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:16,693 --> 00:00:19,733 Speaker 1: It's time for all the attitude, all the opinion, all 4 00:00:19,773 --> 00:00:24,813 Speaker 1: the information, all the debates of theis now the Leyton 5 00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:27,653 Speaker 1: Smith Podcast powered by News Talks EDB. 6 00:00:27,973 --> 00:00:32,093 Speaker 2: Welcome to podcast two hundred and ninety three for July sixteen, 7 00:00:32,213 --> 00:00:37,133 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. I'm approaching this podcast just a little differently, 8 00:00:37,213 --> 00:00:40,613 Speaker 2: almost backwards, you might say, or in reverse. Most of 9 00:00:40,653 --> 00:00:42,933 Speaker 2: you will be familiar with David Bell, but let me 10 00:00:42,933 --> 00:00:44,973 Speaker 2: tell you. For those who aren't, let me tell you 11 00:00:45,013 --> 00:00:49,253 Speaker 2: about David Bell. He is a senior scholar at Brownstone Institute. 12 00:00:49,253 --> 00:00:53,893 Speaker 2: But he is a public health physician and biotech consultant 13 00:00:54,213 --> 00:00:58,133 Speaker 2: in global health. He's a former medical officer and scientist 14 00:00:58,173 --> 00:01:02,453 Speaker 2: at the World Health Organization program head for Malaria and 15 00:01:02,533 --> 00:01:08,253 Speaker 2: Febrile Diseases at the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics in Geneva, 16 00:01:09,133 --> 00:01:14,213 Speaker 2: and Director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global 17 00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:20,653 Speaker 2: Good Fund in Bellevue, Washington State, USA. So they are 18 00:01:21,053 --> 00:01:25,373 Speaker 2: some of his qualifications, because there are more. His latest 19 00:01:25,373 --> 00:01:31,333 Speaker 2: contribution was on July eleven, update on international health regulation amendments. 20 00:01:31,693 --> 00:01:35,173 Speaker 2: I'm going to suggest something in a moment with regard 21 00:01:35,253 --> 00:01:38,293 Speaker 2: to those of you who have a vital interest in 22 00:01:38,333 --> 00:01:42,013 Speaker 2: this particular topic, and can I suggest, may I suggest 23 00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:44,493 Speaker 2: that that should be each and every one of us. 24 00:01:45,933 --> 00:01:49,053 Speaker 2: I discovered much more than I knew that I was missing, 25 00:01:49,253 --> 00:01:53,093 Speaker 2: if that makes sense, in collating some of David Bell's 26 00:01:53,253 --> 00:01:56,093 Speaker 2: articles over the last few months. And all I can 27 00:01:56,173 --> 00:01:59,133 Speaker 2: say is that it has supplied me with a wealth 28 00:01:59,173 --> 00:02:03,293 Speaker 2: of knowledge in this area that I certainly didn't have, 29 00:02:04,213 --> 00:02:06,053 Speaker 2: and I would imagine that many of you will want 30 00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:07,173 Speaker 2: to be in the same position. 31 00:02:07,493 --> 00:02:08,733 Speaker 3: So we'll get to that moment. 32 00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:12,293 Speaker 2: Let me quote you a little of some of the 33 00:02:12,693 --> 00:02:16,173 Speaker 2: articles that I've referred to. The United States in Argentina 34 00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:20,453 Speaker 2: have stated their intent to leave the WHO. The era 35 00:02:20,693 --> 00:02:25,373 Speaker 2: of principles and ideals is long gone from international health. 36 00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:29,413 Speaker 2: More money will be channeled to ever growing bureaucracies whose 37 00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:33,773 Speaker 2: sole function, whose only reason for existence is to identify 38 00:02:34,213 --> 00:02:38,133 Speaker 2: theoretical threats that can be used to close economies, remove 39 00:02:38,173 --> 00:02:42,333 Speaker 2: the livelihoods of others, and extract more of their remaining wealth. 40 00:02:43,013 --> 00:02:47,613 Speaker 2: The hapless inhabitants of WHO member states and that includes US, 41 00:02:48,413 --> 00:02:52,373 Speaker 2: seem to have no real leaders anymore. Eventually, the whole 42 00:02:52,533 --> 00:02:55,453 Speaker 2: edifice will collapse under the weight of its own fallacies 43 00:02:55,853 --> 00:03:00,653 Speaker 2: and economic unsustainability. In the meantime, the sad corporatist mess 44 00:03:01,253 --> 00:03:05,053 Speaker 2: that international public health has become will continue to be 45 00:03:05,413 --> 00:03:09,293 Speaker 2: in debt and demoralize its public. Now some of the 46 00:03:09,373 --> 00:03:14,413 Speaker 2: articles are headed a false claims of the Who's Pandemic Agreement, 47 00:03:14,573 --> 00:03:21,773 Speaker 2: the Who's Draft Pandemic Agreement, pointless verbiage defunding GAVY an 48 00:03:21,853 --> 00:03:27,493 Speaker 2: innocent step toward decolonization. GAVY is largely funded by the 49 00:03:27,973 --> 00:03:31,773 Speaker 2: Gates Foundation. That should tell you something and update on 50 00:03:31,933 --> 00:03:35,813 Speaker 2: international health regulation amendments, which I think I just said 51 00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:40,813 Speaker 2: was the most recent one, but there are a number 52 00:03:40,813 --> 00:03:44,773 Speaker 2: of other articles now. They contain a wealth of information, 53 00:03:45,733 --> 00:03:48,653 Speaker 2: They answer a lot of questions, and I can only 54 00:03:48,693 --> 00:03:54,173 Speaker 2: suggest that by going to Brownstone Institute searching David Bell's name, 55 00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:58,093 Speaker 2: which will supply you with all of the above at 56 00:03:58,093 --> 00:04:01,053 Speaker 2: a long list they are and you can select what 57 00:04:01,093 --> 00:04:02,773 Speaker 2: you want to read. But my guess is that you 58 00:04:02,813 --> 00:04:06,253 Speaker 2: want to read everything that David's written because it's that 59 00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:10,213 Speaker 2: good and that worthwhile, and that revealing we are not 60 00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:13,413 Speaker 2: in a good situation in this country. There's one section 61 00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,533 Speaker 2: the growth of human resilience, just to give you an 62 00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:19,813 Speaker 2: idea of what I mean. So back to sanitation, nutrition, 63 00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:23,573 Speaker 2: and living conditions. Relatively recently we figured out that or 64 00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:31,493 Speaker 2: what pathogens are bacteria, viruses, protozoa, nematode, worms, and the like, 65 00:04:32,253 --> 00:04:35,893 Speaker 2: and better understood how to avoid them altogether. Many of 66 00:04:35,893 --> 00:04:39,053 Speaker 2: the pathogens that used to kill us spread from person 67 00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:42,533 Speaker 2: to persons through a fecal oral route, as it is 68 00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:47,013 Speaker 2: euphemistically called. They reproduce within the body and the resulting 69 00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:51,053 Speaker 2: multitude move on when we defecate. If someone then drinks 70 00:04:51,453 --> 00:04:54,773 Speaker 2: water contaminated by that, they get infected. You get the picture. 71 00:04:54,973 --> 00:04:59,413 Speaker 2: Pathogens that's spread by respiratory routes to cause disease e g. 72 00:04:59,653 --> 00:05:03,093 Speaker 2: Influenza and COVID nineteen are more likely to pass between 73 00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:06,413 Speaker 2: people if they live in confined space with poor air circulation. 74 00:05:07,253 --> 00:05:10,213 Speaker 2: But I'm trying to get to here is good nutrition 75 00:05:10,373 --> 00:05:14,813 Speaker 2: is absolutely essential for us to mount an effective immune response, 76 00:05:15,253 --> 00:05:18,853 Speaker 2: whether to an organism or a vaccine. The cells in 77 00:05:18,893 --> 00:05:25,133 Speaker 2: the immune system have specific requirements such as vitamins D K, two, 78 00:05:25,773 --> 00:05:31,093 Speaker 2: C and E and zinc and magnesium, and cannot function 79 00:05:31,253 --> 00:05:34,733 Speaker 2: well without an adequate concentration of them. They can also 80 00:05:34,773 --> 00:05:38,653 Speaker 2: be impaired in their function when our general metabolism is impaired, 81 00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:43,853 Speaker 2: such as in diabetes, starvation, or chronic diseases and anemia. 82 00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:46,693 Speaker 2: So that paints a picture that some people have been 83 00:05:46,693 --> 00:05:49,853 Speaker 2: talking about for some considerable time. Some people on this 84 00:05:50,613 --> 00:05:53,893 Speaker 2: podcast also But that's only a taste of what we'll 85 00:05:53,893 --> 00:05:57,053 Speaker 2: get from David Bell when we get into the discussion shortly. 86 00:05:58,413 --> 00:06:02,173 Speaker 2: Then the mail room of course with missus producer, and 87 00:06:02,213 --> 00:06:06,573 Speaker 2: a lot of tributes to Professor des Gorman and a 88 00:06:06,653 --> 00:06:10,053 Speaker 2: touch of AI at the back end of the podcast. 89 00:06:10,173 --> 00:06:12,093 Speaker 2: I have a feeling that AI is going to cause 90 00:06:12,173 --> 00:06:16,293 Speaker 2: a lot more trouble socially than might have been anticipated. 91 00:06:16,493 --> 00:06:27,653 Speaker 2: Only time will tell. Buccolan is a natural oral vaccine 92 00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:31,253 Speaker 2: in a tablet form called bacterial nicet. It'll boost your 93 00:06:31,293 --> 00:06:34,853 Speaker 2: natural protection against bacterial infections in your chest and throat. 94 00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:37,973 Speaker 2: A three day course of seven Buckland tablets will help 95 00:06:38,013 --> 00:06:41,133 Speaker 2: your body build up to three months of immunity against 96 00:06:41,173 --> 00:06:45,093 Speaker 2: bugs which cause bacterial cold symptoms. So who can take 97 00:06:45,173 --> 00:06:48,093 Speaker 2: buccolan well, the whole family From two years of age 98 00:06:48,133 --> 00:06:51,693 Speaker 2: and upwards. A course of Buckelan tablets offers cost effective 99 00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:55,813 Speaker 2: and safe protection from colds and chills. Protection becomes effective 100 00:06:56,013 --> 00:06:58,813 Speaker 2: a few days after you take buccolan and lasts for 101 00:06:58,973 --> 00:07:02,053 Speaker 2: up to three months following the three day course. Buccolan 102 00:07:02,133 --> 00:07:04,973 Speaker 2: can be taken throughout the cold season, over winter, or 103 00:07:05,013 --> 00:07:07,813 Speaker 2: all the year round. And remember Buckelan is not intended 104 00:07:07,893 --> 00:07:11,173 Speaker 2: as an all alternative to influenza vaccination, but may be 105 00:07:11,373 --> 00:07:15,093 Speaker 2: used along with the flu vaccination for added protection. And 106 00:07:15,213 --> 00:07:17,853 Speaker 2: keep in mind that millions of doses have been taken 107 00:07:17,893 --> 00:07:21,933 Speaker 2: by Kiwi's for over fifty years. Only available from your pharmacist. 108 00:07:22,173 --> 00:07:25,493 Speaker 2: Always read the label and users directed, and see your 109 00:07:25,493 --> 00:07:26,813 Speaker 2: doctor if systems persist. 110 00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:30,013 Speaker 3: Farmer Broker Auckland Layton Smith. 111 00:07:38,013 --> 00:07:42,133 Speaker 2: An update on the International Health Regulation amendments by David 112 00:07:42,133 --> 00:07:46,373 Speaker 2: Bell is an interesting conclusion to this point anyway, of 113 00:07:46,653 --> 00:07:49,413 Speaker 2: a series of articles that he's written since we last spoke, 114 00:07:49,933 --> 00:07:53,853 Speaker 2: and we'll touch on those sooner or later. But David's 115 00:07:53,853 --> 00:07:56,333 Speaker 2: great to have you back on the podcast, and it's 116 00:07:56,333 --> 00:08:00,373 Speaker 2: been I think eight months, and if I'm honest, I say, 117 00:08:00,773 --> 00:08:03,453 Speaker 2: I have to say that I've missed you, and that's 118 00:08:03,493 --> 00:08:04,813 Speaker 2: not anybody's fault but mine. 119 00:08:04,853 --> 00:08:08,253 Speaker 3: I think, thanks, so it could be back. 120 00:08:09,413 --> 00:08:13,413 Speaker 2: So the update on International Health Regulation Amendments published on 121 00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:18,493 Speaker 2: July eleven. Much has been written on the amendments to 122 00:08:18,533 --> 00:08:22,733 Speaker 2: the International Health Regulations the IHR, which most countries are 123 00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:29,173 Speaker 2: making themselves subject to after July nineteen, which, as we're 124 00:08:29,213 --> 00:08:33,813 Speaker 2: recording this on the fifteenth, is about four days away. 125 00:08:34,333 --> 00:08:40,453 Speaker 2: So many raised concerns of loss of sovereignty, censorship, corporate greed, 126 00:08:40,933 --> 00:08:44,973 Speaker 2: and conflict of interest, but most are missing the main point, 127 00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:50,653 Speaker 2: the sheer and outright stupidity and fallacy on which the 128 00:08:50,733 --> 00:08:55,533 Speaker 2: whole pandemic agenda is based. It's pretty brave of you 129 00:08:55,733 --> 00:08:57,173 Speaker 2: to say something like that. 130 00:08:57,413 --> 00:09:03,733 Speaker 3: Please explain, Well, it's evidence based, so it's not that 131 00:09:03,933 --> 00:09:07,573 Speaker 3: brave to just to say, you know, the grass is green, 132 00:09:07,653 --> 00:09:13,533 Speaker 3: which it is. We haven't had a confirmed, large natural 133 00:09:13,613 --> 00:09:18,253 Speaker 3: pandemic on Earth since the Spanish Flu, which was over 134 00:09:18,293 --> 00:09:21,573 Speaker 3: a century ago, before we had antibiotics, before we had 135 00:09:21,733 --> 00:09:24,613 Speaker 3: good medical, modern medical treatment, all that comes with that. 136 00:09:25,053 --> 00:09:29,533 Speaker 3: And you know, since that time, infectious disease dest in 137 00:09:29,573 --> 00:09:33,333 Speaker 3: general have plummeted due to better sanitation, better living conditions, 138 00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:37,453 Speaker 3: better nutrition. We all live longer, especially in wealthy countries, 139 00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:41,053 Speaker 3: and the reasons for that are the same as the 140 00:09:41,093 --> 00:09:43,813 Speaker 3: reasons why it would survive a pandemic. If the Spanish 141 00:09:43,893 --> 00:09:47,813 Speaker 3: flu came again, they're exactly the same virus, we would 142 00:09:47,893 --> 00:09:51,013 Speaker 3: have a fraction of the mortality rate that we did 143 00:09:51,053 --> 00:09:56,733 Speaker 3: then because most people and Anthony Fauci, formerly National Intersues 144 00:09:56,773 --> 00:09:58,573 Speaker 3: of Health in US has written a paper on this 145 00:09:59,013 --> 00:10:03,493 Speaker 3: that most people probably died from secondary bacterial infections readily 146 00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:07,933 Speaker 3: treated with antibiotics. So since then we had an outbreak 147 00:10:07,973 --> 00:10:11,933 Speaker 3: that they've fifties one or late sixties both influenza swine 148 00:10:12,013 --> 00:10:14,933 Speaker 3: flu killed a quarter of the number that normally die 149 00:10:14,973 --> 00:10:18,453 Speaker 3: of seasonal flu. So it was nothing in two thousand 150 00:10:18,453 --> 00:10:22,293 Speaker 3: and nine, and then we had COVID, which appears very 151 00:10:22,453 --> 00:10:24,413 Speaker 3: likely to have come from a lab, but even if 152 00:10:24,453 --> 00:10:30,413 Speaker 3: it didn't, the WHO records about seven millions of and 153 00:10:30,453 --> 00:10:33,853 Speaker 3: a half million deaths with COVID in the whole world 154 00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:38,653 Speaker 3: over the whole period, and that's probably about accurate with COVID. 155 00:10:38,933 --> 00:10:42,413 Speaker 3: Most of those were over seventy over seventy five years 156 00:10:42,453 --> 00:10:47,013 Speaker 3: of age, and most had significant comorbidities. Are already sick, 157 00:10:47,053 --> 00:10:50,093 Speaker 3: that's why they died of COVID, So it shortened their 158 00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:53,573 Speaker 3: lives a bit, which is unfortunate, but it's not anything 159 00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:58,093 Speaker 3: like the major pandemics of the past, and it probably 160 00:10:58,173 --> 00:10:59,933 Speaker 3: came from a lab, you know, in which case it 161 00:11:00,133 --> 00:11:04,333 Speaker 3: stoppered by improving biosecurity in labs and not doing gain 162 00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:09,373 Speaker 3: a function research or other highly reckless a lot of 163 00:11:09,413 --> 00:11:13,333 Speaker 3: activities that people are paid to do. So there's this 164 00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:17,133 Speaker 3: People like to talk about an age of pandemics and 165 00:11:17,493 --> 00:11:20,893 Speaker 3: all this stuff, but it's just the evidence is the opposite. 166 00:11:21,053 --> 00:11:24,373 Speaker 3: And very few people say this because all the money 167 00:11:24,453 --> 00:11:27,973 Speaker 3: is on the pandemics and on the pandemic preparation and 168 00:11:28,093 --> 00:11:31,613 Speaker 3: public health. So you know what I'm saying. We've got, 169 00:11:31,773 --> 00:11:35,093 Speaker 3: you know, the project of the University of Leeds that 170 00:11:35,133 --> 00:11:38,853 Speaker 3: we've mentioned before last year, the Repair Project for instance, 171 00:11:38,933 --> 00:11:43,253 Speaker 3: is the evidence is very clear. Looking at the WHO, 172 00:11:43,413 --> 00:11:47,093 Speaker 3: the World Bank, the G twenty's own evidence that they 173 00:11:47,253 --> 00:11:50,933 Speaker 3: use to say that we have a huge problem from pandemics, 174 00:11:51,013 --> 00:11:57,173 Speaker 3: it's very clear that we haven't. And they misuse citations 175 00:11:57,173 --> 00:11:59,333 Speaker 3: and some of them I mentioned the article you mentioned 176 00:11:59,453 --> 00:12:02,493 Speaker 3: the two twenty twenty three who put out two articles 177 00:12:02,493 --> 00:12:07,293 Speaker 3: to support this whole pandemic agenda called Managing Epidemics Epidemics 178 00:12:07,373 --> 00:12:12,813 Speaker 3: and Version two and the Future Surveillance, and they both 179 00:12:12,893 --> 00:12:15,533 Speaker 3: use the same graphic, which is a graphic that shows 180 00:12:15,893 --> 00:12:19,293 Speaker 3: in the year two thousand, no outbreaks, and then suddenly 181 00:12:19,293 --> 00:12:23,973 Speaker 3: we get all these outbreaks up to year twenty twenty 182 00:12:24,093 --> 00:12:30,373 Speaker 3: or so, and things like play, yellow fever, influenza, et cetera. 183 00:12:31,053 --> 00:12:35,813 Speaker 3: You know, things that we've had, we've had for centuries, 184 00:12:36,013 --> 00:12:39,853 Speaker 3: and we're far, far worse in the past, and they 185 00:12:39,893 --> 00:12:43,413 Speaker 3: produce this graphic that suggests to anyone looking at it 186 00:12:43,973 --> 00:12:46,333 Speaker 3: that they were all starting and getting worse in the 187 00:12:46,413 --> 00:12:49,573 Speaker 3: last twenty years, the opposite of reality, and the who 188 00:12:49,733 --> 00:12:53,133 Speaker 3: knows this that graphic should show the opposite. And then 189 00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:56,373 Speaker 3: this is the the only basis they use to push 190 00:12:56,413 --> 00:13:01,293 Speaker 3: these whole soul gender in these publications, and we've seen 191 00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:03,413 Speaker 3: the same from the World Bank, from the g twenty 192 00:13:03,453 --> 00:13:06,133 Speaker 3: And there's a reason for this because you know that 193 00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:09,613 Speaker 3: there is huge profits to be made in area. But 194 00:13:09,853 --> 00:13:14,933 Speaker 3: it's not public health. It's a business thing, and people 195 00:13:15,053 --> 00:13:16,573 Speaker 3: keep mistaking it for public health. 196 00:13:16,613 --> 00:13:20,293 Speaker 2: And all right, let's pause there and just go back 197 00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:23,933 Speaker 2: on this a little. What you're saying is it's a scam. 198 00:13:24,653 --> 00:13:28,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, in terms of public health, it's a scam. 199 00:13:28,693 --> 00:13:32,253 Speaker 3: The idea that we have increasing more totally different pandemics 200 00:13:32,253 --> 00:13:34,213 Speaker 3: over the last century or so and over the last 201 00:13:34,253 --> 00:13:38,733 Speaker 3: decades is false, certainly from natural pandemics. You can say 202 00:13:38,733 --> 00:13:41,173 Speaker 3: what you like about COVID if you ignore the age 203 00:13:41,173 --> 00:13:45,293 Speaker 3: of death, et cetera. But yes, it's a false narrative. 204 00:13:45,773 --> 00:13:48,333 Speaker 2: How many I know, you can't put a number on it, 205 00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:53,733 Speaker 2: but generally, how many other people in similar positions to 206 00:13:53,813 --> 00:13:55,053 Speaker 2: yourself agree with you? 207 00:13:56,533 --> 00:14:01,453 Speaker 3: How many openly say they agree? Probably a few percent. 208 00:14:01,653 --> 00:14:05,373 Speaker 3: I think of people working in international public health, how 209 00:14:05,413 --> 00:14:10,453 Speaker 3: many genuinely agree? I think probably the majority, just based 210 00:14:10,493 --> 00:14:14,093 Speaker 3: on anecdotally. If I've sat down in groups of people 211 00:14:14,173 --> 00:14:16,933 Speaker 3: and we've talked it through and everyone's agreed sort of thing, 212 00:14:18,773 --> 00:14:21,133 Speaker 3: but none of them will say it publicly, and then 213 00:14:21,253 --> 00:14:22,813 Speaker 3: you know, you're in a meeting and they all say 214 00:14:22,853 --> 00:14:26,733 Speaker 3: the opposite. But because people know that potentially extremely damaging 215 00:14:26,733 --> 00:14:29,773 Speaker 3: to your career to say this, because all the money 216 00:14:29,813 --> 00:14:33,133 Speaker 3: is in the for the research, for the implementation, so on, 217 00:14:33,693 --> 00:14:38,493 Speaker 3: is on the pandemic agenda, but no one, you know. 218 00:14:38,773 --> 00:14:42,333 Speaker 3: We published in the University of Leeds Repair Project published 219 00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:46,053 Speaker 3: the report two reports, one on risk, one on finance, 220 00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:49,213 Speaker 3: and then a number of reports since then pointing out 221 00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:53,653 Speaker 3: fallacy faults in the modeling of the average age and 222 00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:56,373 Speaker 3: what you know. There's papers out and reports out there. 223 00:14:56,413 --> 00:14:59,373 Speaker 3: One you'll send to the news in and oral Commission 224 00:14:59,413 --> 00:15:02,413 Speaker 3: on COVID saying two and a half million people die 225 00:15:02,453 --> 00:15:06,213 Speaker 3: every year from pandemics. That's if you use the few 226 00:15:06,253 --> 00:15:10,013 Speaker 3: body plague and medieval time games and you translate it 227 00:15:10,093 --> 00:15:15,293 Speaker 3: onto today's population, which is our city. And no one 228 00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:18,133 Speaker 3: has refuted any of the evidence that we've has been 229 00:15:18,253 --> 00:15:21,693 Speaker 3: put up that we put up through leads. But because 230 00:15:21,733 --> 00:15:26,493 Speaker 3: it is from the sources that these the same sources 231 00:15:26,573 --> 00:15:30,813 Speaker 3: that these institutions are misquoting, so it's not really it 232 00:15:30,853 --> 00:15:34,293 Speaker 3: shouldn't be controversial, and it wasn't. A couple of decades 233 00:15:34,293 --> 00:15:37,413 Speaker 3: ago everyone accepted that infectious disease was getting much rarer. 234 00:15:37,933 --> 00:15:40,333 Speaker 3: Suddenly it's getting what we told is getting more common. 235 00:15:40,453 --> 00:15:43,453 Speaker 3: But no one is suggesting why. There's this idea of 236 00:15:43,773 --> 00:15:47,133 Speaker 3: global warming, et cetera. But there's no good evidence tying 237 00:15:47,293 --> 00:15:52,133 Speaker 3: climate change to any significant increase in diseases, apart from 238 00:15:52,293 --> 00:15:54,933 Speaker 3: a few to viruses like chicken gun you and dinghy 239 00:15:55,053 --> 00:16:00,413 Speaker 3: that eighties of jipdi or other vectors spread slightly high latitudes, 240 00:16:00,973 --> 00:16:05,053 Speaker 3: but they're not that they have tiny mortality compared to 241 00:16:05,093 --> 00:16:10,213 Speaker 3: overall ortaiti. And there's things that Hilaria. Actually in the 242 00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:12,133 Speaker 3: temperate zones where they should be getting worse with the 243 00:16:12,173 --> 00:16:15,853 Speaker 3: climate change, you're getting better. It's in the tropics that 244 00:16:15,893 --> 00:16:21,533 Speaker 3: they're getting worse. So there's no good evidence tying climate 245 00:16:21,693 --> 00:16:27,453 Speaker 3: change to a significant increase. Deforestation has always gone on, 246 00:16:27,773 --> 00:16:29,973 Speaker 3: so that that's really a false taim when people say 247 00:16:30,053 --> 00:16:34,813 Speaker 3: deforestation and more contact with wildlife, we're killing off wildlife. 248 00:16:35,693 --> 00:16:39,213 Speaker 3: So there's going to be less human wildlife contact overall, 249 00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:43,853 Speaker 3: not more. So. It just, you know, it's built on 250 00:16:43,973 --> 00:16:46,533 Speaker 3: this series of fallacies that point out in the article, 251 00:16:46,733 --> 00:16:50,733 Speaker 3: and people are getting tied up, you know, reasonably with 252 00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:54,013 Speaker 3: things that you know, just binge on sovereignty, et cetera. 253 00:16:54,813 --> 00:16:57,653 Speaker 3: And it is going to be extremely costly. And there's 254 00:16:57,653 --> 00:17:00,133 Speaker 3: a whole lot of reasons why we shouldn't go down 255 00:17:00,173 --> 00:17:04,333 Speaker 3: the road of the intellatrial health regulation amendments. But people 256 00:17:04,413 --> 00:17:06,453 Speaker 3: need to step back and realize that the whole thing 257 00:17:06,653 --> 00:17:10,613 Speaker 3: is is just really based on falsehoods, and so we 258 00:17:10,653 --> 00:17:13,493 Speaker 3: shouldn't even be arguing over these nuances. 259 00:17:14,293 --> 00:17:18,013 Speaker 2: What do you say based on falsehood's The word fear 260 00:17:18,253 --> 00:17:21,333 Speaker 2: springs to mind and that's what drives it mostly. 261 00:17:22,493 --> 00:17:25,293 Speaker 3: It is it's very easy to get people scared of 262 00:17:25,373 --> 00:17:30,293 Speaker 3: infectious diseases. One hundred years ago, if you had eight kids, 263 00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:33,293 Speaker 3: you expected two or three of them to die in childhood, 264 00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:36,733 Speaker 3: and that almost never happens now. And it's actually it's 265 00:17:36,773 --> 00:17:39,453 Speaker 3: not vaccination that's done and it helps a little bit, 266 00:17:39,573 --> 00:17:43,973 Speaker 3: but it's mostly better living conditions, better food, better sanitation, 267 00:17:44,213 --> 00:17:47,853 Speaker 3: and this most of them mortally went away before we 268 00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:52,653 Speaker 3: had mass vaccination for first diseases. So and antibiotics obviously 269 00:17:52,733 --> 00:17:57,373 Speaker 3: help with inside childhood pneumonia. So infectious disease has become 270 00:17:57,453 --> 00:18:01,493 Speaker 3: relatively rare so to your infectious disease, but the fear 271 00:18:01,533 --> 00:18:05,213 Speaker 3: has detainly increased, and it's it's almost as if his 272 00:18:05,493 --> 00:18:09,053 Speaker 3: absence makes it more scary. Whereas you know, if you go, 273 00:18:09,693 --> 00:18:14,053 Speaker 3: say to some Subaharan African country, where it's pretty common 274 00:18:14,373 --> 00:18:18,213 Speaker 3: for a few children in a class to die before 275 00:18:18,413 --> 00:18:22,533 Speaker 3: that class has finished primary school, there's not this hysteria 276 00:18:23,133 --> 00:18:25,373 Speaker 3: over something like COVID. 277 00:18:25,773 --> 00:18:30,373 Speaker 2: You mentioned the fauci a moment ago. He is probably 278 00:18:30,453 --> 00:18:32,813 Speaker 2: the head hon show, if I may put it that way, 279 00:18:33,093 --> 00:18:38,613 Speaker 2: on the planet with regard to misleading and a driving force. 280 00:18:39,453 --> 00:18:40,893 Speaker 2: If you disagree with me, say. 281 00:18:40,813 --> 00:18:46,893 Speaker 3: So, yeah, I do. I do disagree. I agree he 282 00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,293 Speaker 3: was misinfoming people. And I mean he admits his published 283 00:18:50,573 --> 00:18:53,093 Speaker 3: papers saying the vaccine was never likely to work, and 284 00:18:53,653 --> 00:18:56,373 Speaker 3: he said he deliberately misled people on not wear the 285 00:18:56,453 --> 00:18:59,573 Speaker 3: mass work or not et cetera. I think he's sort 286 00:18:59,613 --> 00:19:03,053 Speaker 3: of small fry in a way. I think this is 287 00:19:03,573 --> 00:19:07,773 Speaker 3: a huge finance driven issue. The Western world is largely 288 00:19:07,933 --> 00:19:13,093 Speaker 3: run by very large finance corporations, and the large corporations 289 00:19:13,173 --> 00:19:17,333 Speaker 3: that they have majority shareholdings in, or are the larger 290 00:19:17,373 --> 00:19:23,573 Speaker 3: shareholders in, like media, Farmer, et cetera, and they are 291 00:19:23,653 --> 00:19:27,253 Speaker 3: pulling the strings. The World Economic Forum has for the 292 00:19:27,373 --> 00:19:29,933 Speaker 3: last twenty years, all our leaders have trotted off to 293 00:19:30,053 --> 00:19:35,133 Speaker 3: Davos every year to meet with all these people behind 294 00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:38,573 Speaker 3: closed doors and do their deals. And they have been, 295 00:19:38,853 --> 00:19:41,933 Speaker 3: as Klaus Schwab said a few years ago, they've been 296 00:19:42,053 --> 00:19:46,493 Speaker 3: training the leaders of many countries. And well, we're well 297 00:19:46,573 --> 00:19:51,573 Speaker 3: familiar with that. Yes. So I think people like Fauci 298 00:19:51,893 --> 00:19:56,173 Speaker 3: are doing what they're paid to do, and very willingly perhaps, 299 00:19:56,293 --> 00:20:00,213 Speaker 3: But I think this is more a sort of it's 300 00:20:00,253 --> 00:20:06,333 Speaker 3: an inevigable consequence of for profit companies that are no 301 00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:10,653 Speaker 3: longer bound to any nation state and normal set of laws, 302 00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:14,813 Speaker 3: and are so big that they can essentially change the 303 00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:16,133 Speaker 3: laws to suit themselves. 304 00:20:16,693 --> 00:20:21,173 Speaker 2: Look, let me let me counter you, because I don't 305 00:20:21,333 --> 00:20:24,453 Speaker 2: entirely agree with you, and I'm both to say it. 306 00:20:25,253 --> 00:20:28,613 Speaker 2: But Fai Fauci was the public face. He was in 307 00:20:28,933 --> 00:20:33,213 Speaker 2: the highest paid job in the US civil Service. He 308 00:20:33,373 --> 00:20:35,653 Speaker 2: knew at the time, and you just said that he 309 00:20:35,733 --> 00:20:38,333 Speaker 2: admitted these things. He knew at the time that it 310 00:20:38,453 --> 00:20:42,173 Speaker 2: was bullshit, but he proceeded. Now, he didn't have to 311 00:20:42,253 --> 00:20:45,933 Speaker 2: do that. You didn't do that. You've been you've been 312 00:20:46,053 --> 00:20:49,453 Speaker 2: campaigning on a line of it's much closer to the 313 00:20:49,533 --> 00:20:53,533 Speaker 2: truth than Fauci ever did. And Fauci was involved in 314 00:20:53,653 --> 00:20:58,373 Speaker 2: the manipulation and the shall we say, underground activities that 315 00:20:58,533 --> 00:21:04,213 Speaker 2: contributed to where things got. So surely it's got to 316 00:21:04,293 --> 00:21:06,493 Speaker 2: be on his shoulders to some considerable degree. 317 00:21:07,853 --> 00:21:10,213 Speaker 3: I agree. Yeah, when I say is one of the 318 00:21:10,333 --> 00:21:12,053 Speaker 3: mini when. 319 00:21:11,933 --> 00:21:14,973 Speaker 2: I but when I when I say he is the 320 00:21:15,053 --> 00:21:21,013 Speaker 2: head honchow. His appearance was of that because he was 321 00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:25,973 Speaker 2: constantly being by by American media, in particular, being sought 322 00:21:26,013 --> 00:21:30,413 Speaker 2: out to confirm this and that and something else, and 323 00:21:30,813 --> 00:21:33,733 Speaker 2: he happily appears that he happily did so. 324 00:21:35,213 --> 00:21:37,573 Speaker 3: No, I agree with that so and he could have 325 00:21:38,253 --> 00:21:42,573 Speaker 3: done otherwise. But there's a good book come out recently 326 00:21:42,813 --> 00:21:47,853 Speaker 3: by Debbie Luhrmann's I read it the other day that 327 00:21:47,893 --> 00:21:51,813 Speaker 3: they will come back. But essentially it lays out the 328 00:21:52,013 --> 00:21:56,973 Speaker 3: role of the security contexts behind COVID. It's very interesting 329 00:21:57,053 --> 00:22:00,933 Speaker 3: that the US response was not run by the public 330 00:22:01,013 --> 00:22:04,693 Speaker 3: Health Service, it wasn't run by an i H or CDC. 331 00:22:04,973 --> 00:22:11,333 Speaker 3: It was run by the security services. And they overtly 332 00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:14,013 Speaker 3: took it over in mid March and were less from 333 00:22:14,053 --> 00:22:17,613 Speaker 3: it before then, and they put Deborah Berks into place, etc. 334 00:22:17,933 --> 00:22:20,613 Speaker 3: And it's laid out very well in this book. And 335 00:22:20,933 --> 00:22:26,373 Speaker 3: the Dutch governors admitted that the situation was similar over 336 00:22:26,453 --> 00:22:29,813 Speaker 3: there and within NATO, and I suspect other countries were 337 00:22:29,853 --> 00:22:32,213 Speaker 3: the same. You could argue that they saw this as 338 00:22:32,293 --> 00:22:37,093 Speaker 3: a bio weapon threat from China or something, although it 339 00:22:37,133 --> 00:22:41,053 Speaker 3: doesn't wick it well because it's pretty clear that they 340 00:22:41,133 --> 00:22:47,453 Speaker 3: were closely involved with Fauchi. The NIH funded the development 341 00:22:47,613 --> 00:22:51,453 Speaker 3: of coronavirus. The gain of function research on coronavirus is 342 00:22:51,493 --> 00:22:55,533 Speaker 3: that very likely result in COVID, but it's much deeper 343 00:22:55,613 --> 00:22:59,693 Speaker 3: than a few people in a public health service misrepresenting 344 00:23:00,493 --> 00:23:04,573 Speaker 3: the truth and misrepresenting how to deal with a virus 345 00:23:04,693 --> 00:23:07,533 Speaker 3: that killed people in average age of over seventy five. 346 00:23:08,693 --> 00:23:12,173 Speaker 3: So there was something probably much more unpleasant going on 347 00:23:12,493 --> 00:23:16,133 Speaker 3: in the background. The head of CDC at the time 348 00:23:16,293 --> 00:23:22,493 Speaker 3: is more recently Robert Redford read Redburn. Anyway, he has 349 00:23:23,573 --> 00:23:26,373 Speaker 3: said quite openly that it was probably gained a function 350 00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:31,813 Speaker 3: research and that a lot of the response was completely wrong, 351 00:23:32,013 --> 00:23:35,293 Speaker 3: not a public health response. But he could again, he 352 00:23:35,373 --> 00:23:37,293 Speaker 3: could have said that at the time, but instead he 353 00:23:37,813 --> 00:23:41,573 Speaker 3: stood in Congress and said that masks are the best 354 00:23:41,653 --> 00:23:45,133 Speaker 3: way for stopping a virus. Do you think of his name? 355 00:23:45,453 --> 00:23:49,533 Speaker 3: Wasn't Robert read for the Act? There? No the actor. 356 00:23:50,293 --> 00:23:53,053 Speaker 3: I feel stupid not remembering. Now it'll come back. 357 00:23:53,853 --> 00:23:55,573 Speaker 2: I know the I know the feeling by the way 358 00:23:56,013 --> 00:23:59,693 Speaker 2: the book is the Deep State goes viral. Yes, I've 359 00:23:59,733 --> 00:24:02,213 Speaker 2: got I've got a pile of books over there. In fact, 360 00:24:02,213 --> 00:24:05,973 Speaker 2: there's two piles now of books that have arrived and 361 00:24:06,093 --> 00:24:07,933 Speaker 2: I haven't yet had a chance to look. I just 362 00:24:08,053 --> 00:24:11,293 Speaker 2: keep I can't help myself anyway, I've got the book. 363 00:24:11,413 --> 00:24:15,253 Speaker 2: That's the point I feel written. I shall now refer 364 00:24:15,373 --> 00:24:18,333 Speaker 2: to it a little a little more. Look, actually, while 365 00:24:19,013 --> 00:24:22,893 Speaker 2: while we're at that point, there is a growing desire 366 00:24:23,653 --> 00:24:27,093 Speaker 2: and drive I think to stop talking about COVID, get 367 00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:29,493 Speaker 2: over it, move on. You know, some people think that 368 00:24:29,613 --> 00:24:32,733 Speaker 2: it's been and gone and there's no point in spending 369 00:24:32,773 --> 00:24:33,853 Speaker 2: any more time on it. 370 00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:38,213 Speaker 3: What do you say to that. Well, firstly, there I mean, 371 00:24:38,653 --> 00:24:42,813 Speaker 3: it is still being pushed. The vaccinations are still being pushed. 372 00:24:42,813 --> 00:24:46,053 Speaker 3: There's been an issue in the US as a new 373 00:24:46,133 --> 00:24:49,613 Speaker 3: moderna version has just been approved for children, et cetera, 374 00:24:50,133 --> 00:24:56,333 Speaker 3: so that the issue hasn't gone away. It illustrated a 375 00:24:57,973 --> 00:25:03,773 Speaker 3: government slash corporate partnership which deliberately misled the public on 376 00:25:03,853 --> 00:25:09,013 Speaker 3: a massive scale and in the process made a very 377 00:25:09,053 --> 00:25:11,813 Speaker 3: small percentage of population extremely rich. Well, most people got 378 00:25:11,893 --> 00:25:14,813 Speaker 3: much poorer, many people lost their businesses, all the rest 379 00:25:14,853 --> 00:25:19,253 Speaker 3: of it, and the whole pandemic agenda that is going forward. 380 00:25:19,333 --> 00:25:22,773 Speaker 3: So in a few days time, the time expires to 381 00:25:22,893 --> 00:25:25,693 Speaker 3: reject the International Health Regulation amendments, et cetera. We had 382 00:25:25,773 --> 00:25:31,213 Speaker 3: the Pandemic Agreement more or less agreed last May so 383 00:25:31,453 --> 00:25:33,973 Speaker 3: just recently, and there is a whole string of other 384 00:25:34,053 --> 00:25:36,853 Speaker 3: things that are going on around who and world Bank, 385 00:25:36,893 --> 00:25:42,293 Speaker 3: et cetera on pandemics, So they're designed now to repeat 386 00:25:42,373 --> 00:25:48,213 Speaker 3: what happened COVID frequently, and so COVID is just the start. 387 00:25:48,293 --> 00:25:50,613 Speaker 3: So if we think COVID's gone away and the problem 388 00:25:50,693 --> 00:25:54,653 Speaker 3: has gone away, we're sort of fooling ourselves, and the 389 00:25:54,773 --> 00:25:58,453 Speaker 3: harms that we're done through COVID will be multiplied over 390 00:25:58,533 --> 00:26:02,453 Speaker 3: the next decade or two. We are being misled deliberately 391 00:26:02,813 --> 00:26:08,253 Speaker 3: by these agencies in order to really do to serve 392 00:26:08,493 --> 00:26:12,213 Speaker 3: the interests of a very small, very powerful and rich 393 00:26:12,493 --> 00:26:17,293 Speaker 3: group of corporations and people. And if we don't recognize that, 394 00:26:17,453 --> 00:26:21,973 Speaker 3: then we probably won't have a democracy anymore. So it's 395 00:26:22,053 --> 00:26:26,453 Speaker 3: sort of an existential threat to democracy, not to our health, 396 00:26:26,573 --> 00:26:32,173 Speaker 3: this whole agenda, and I think we need to take 397 00:26:32,253 --> 00:26:36,453 Speaker 3: that seriously. And if you read Debbie's book, Got, it 398 00:26:36,653 --> 00:26:40,133 Speaker 3: showed us regarding the deep state, and it's a triggering term. 399 00:26:40,253 --> 00:26:43,893 Speaker 3: But it's the very large bureaucracies that have grown up 400 00:26:43,933 --> 00:26:48,653 Speaker 3: to run Western countries and are very linked with the 401 00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:53,013 Speaker 3: military industrial complex Eisenhower told us about, and the large 402 00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:57,413 Speaker 3: corporations for financial institutions which are all tied together through 403 00:26:57,693 --> 00:27:01,093 Speaker 3: the Builderberg Group and the Council for foreign relations, et cetera. 404 00:27:01,173 --> 00:27:03,733 Speaker 3: I mean, these aren't fallacies. These are real things that 405 00:27:03,933 --> 00:27:08,133 Speaker 3: actually exist, actually meet regularly, and actually are highly in 406 00:27:08,373 --> 00:27:12,933 Speaker 3: cluential on our governments and our societies. So we can 407 00:27:13,053 --> 00:27:17,013 Speaker 3: ignore all that and just go down this road of 408 00:27:18,293 --> 00:27:23,533 Speaker 3: essentially losing our whole democratic process and becoming peasants again 409 00:27:24,813 --> 00:27:28,373 Speaker 3: of a small elite who say openly they want to 410 00:27:28,453 --> 00:27:32,173 Speaker 3: run the country and they want to run the world, 411 00:27:32,333 --> 00:27:35,733 Speaker 3: and to a largest that not have countries, or we 412 00:27:35,933 --> 00:27:40,933 Speaker 3: can push back on this and just insist on having 413 00:27:41,573 --> 00:27:43,493 Speaker 3: a sort of society that's based on truth. 414 00:27:44,613 --> 00:27:50,253 Speaker 2: Well, when you've got a government that was elected entirely 415 00:27:50,413 --> 00:27:55,893 Speaker 2: because of the monstrosity that preceded it, when you've got 416 00:27:55,893 --> 00:27:59,853 Speaker 2: a government like that that still is pushing net zero 417 00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:07,173 Speaker 2: and is signing up to the Who's new amendments, when 418 00:28:07,213 --> 00:28:09,893 Speaker 2: there is plenty of evidence as you've as you've pointed 419 00:28:09,933 --> 00:28:12,653 Speaker 2: out numerous times, and you're not alone and again today 420 00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:16,293 Speaker 2: that you've got to ask yourself the question, are these 421 00:28:16,333 --> 00:28:20,053 Speaker 2: people or fools? And while while I'm on the subject, 422 00:28:20,413 --> 00:28:26,133 Speaker 2: from a local media minor media outlet, WHO News, doctor 423 00:28:26,173 --> 00:28:31,333 Speaker 2: Ashley Bloomfield spearheads the health regulations overhaul. This goes back 424 00:28:31,373 --> 00:28:35,253 Speaker 2: to November of twenty three. Ashley Broomfield co chairs the 425 00:28:35,453 --> 00:28:40,093 Speaker 2: WHO group revising International Health Protocols. Proposed revisions are aimed 426 00:28:40,133 --> 00:28:45,693 Speaker 2: at strengthening international health regulations post COVID one Health Initiative 427 00:28:45,773 --> 00:28:51,493 Speaker 2: aims to integrate health policy with climate action. I mean 428 00:28:51,613 --> 00:28:56,693 Speaker 2: that you are concerns arise over national sovereignty versus who's 429 00:28:56,733 --> 00:29:01,133 Speaker 2: expanded role. But what is the reality and how real 430 00:29:01,293 --> 00:29:05,693 Speaker 2: is the threat digital health certificates will curtail travel and 431 00:29:05,893 --> 00:29:10,933 Speaker 2: personal freedoms? Why is it that more people in positions 432 00:29:11,053 --> 00:29:16,333 Speaker 2: of influence like the media no longer or appear to 433 00:29:16,413 --> 00:29:18,813 Speaker 2: be interested in tracking down the trees. 434 00:29:19,573 --> 00:29:25,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, first, that's the head of the CDC with Robert Redfield. Apologies, 435 00:29:26,733 --> 00:29:31,693 Speaker 3: you can see why I got confused. I can the 436 00:29:31,813 --> 00:29:35,173 Speaker 3: media are not interested. So in the US, for instance, 437 00:29:35,653 --> 00:29:39,973 Speaker 3: the media are that they're by far their largest sponsor 438 00:29:40,693 --> 00:29:45,933 Speaker 3: in advertising and in direct sponsorship of commentators, many of 439 00:29:46,013 --> 00:29:48,573 Speaker 3: whom are a majority paid by the script are paid 440 00:29:48,613 --> 00:29:54,453 Speaker 3: by Farmer. So the pharmaceutical industry is hugely influential and 441 00:29:54,533 --> 00:29:58,533 Speaker 3: probably without a lot of these media organizations will close down. 442 00:29:59,853 --> 00:30:02,333 Speaker 3: So to them, they sort of haven't got a choice 443 00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:05,613 Speaker 3: if they want to exist the sort of legacy media, 444 00:30:06,333 --> 00:30:09,133 Speaker 3: then they have to bow to farmer and they're not 445 00:30:09,253 --> 00:30:12,613 Speaker 3: going to get money from farmer if they don't toe 446 00:30:12,693 --> 00:30:16,573 Speaker 3: the line, and if they're openly critical and so damage 447 00:30:16,613 --> 00:30:21,733 Speaker 3: farmer profits. It's just it's not complicated, is sort of obvious. 448 00:30:22,693 --> 00:30:25,733 Speaker 3: Business is a business, and a lot of the commentators 449 00:30:25,813 --> 00:30:29,333 Speaker 3: that are well known on US media, a large part 450 00:30:29,373 --> 00:30:32,813 Speaker 3: of their salaries comes directly from farmer. So there are 451 00:30:33,253 --> 00:30:36,813 Speaker 3: significant ones like Amerson Cooper, who you know it is 452 00:30:36,933 --> 00:30:40,653 Speaker 3: set up to eighty ninety percent in several million a 453 00:30:40,813 --> 00:30:46,573 Speaker 3: year are paid by companies like Pfizer, and this is 454 00:30:47,293 --> 00:30:53,693 Speaker 3: public records. They also pay very significantly to the campaign 455 00:30:53,773 --> 00:30:58,493 Speaker 3: funds of politicians, et cetera. So we have to accept 456 00:30:58,573 --> 00:31:01,253 Speaker 3: that this is sort of what you would expect in 457 00:31:01,853 --> 00:31:03,253 Speaker 3: the sort of society. 458 00:31:02,893 --> 00:31:05,813 Speaker 2: That we've now built, but accept if we accept that, 459 00:31:06,173 --> 00:31:09,933 Speaker 2: if we accept that, then we don't have a future 460 00:31:10,373 --> 00:31:12,413 Speaker 2: as individuals, as. 461 00:31:13,893 --> 00:31:19,133 Speaker 3: Society. Yeah, I mean, you know, if you allow pharmaceutical 462 00:31:19,253 --> 00:31:23,693 Speaker 3: companies freedom from liability for a large part of their 463 00:31:23,693 --> 00:31:28,013 Speaker 3: product portfolio, as is the case with vaccines for certainly 464 00:31:28,093 --> 00:31:32,413 Speaker 3: vaccines for children, then the past history of the pharmaceutical 465 00:31:32,493 --> 00:31:36,093 Speaker 3: industry is the largest proven for all cases on Earth. 466 00:31:38,413 --> 00:31:41,493 Speaker 3: So you would expect those companies, if you give them 467 00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:46,013 Speaker 3: freedom for liability, to push the limits, etc. And commit 468 00:31:46,093 --> 00:31:49,653 Speaker 3: fraud again because their role, as they see it, is 469 00:31:49,693 --> 00:31:53,293 Speaker 3: to make as much money as possible. If you allow 470 00:31:53,413 --> 00:31:56,853 Speaker 3: the regulartory agencies to get to most of their money 471 00:31:57,653 --> 00:32:00,693 Speaker 3: from the pharmaceutical industry that is supposed to be regulating 472 00:32:01,733 --> 00:32:05,733 Speaker 3: and direct money from pharmaceutical investors, private individuals as we 473 00:32:05,893 --> 00:32:12,053 Speaker 3: are in the US, the UK, Australia, et cetera, then 474 00:32:13,093 --> 00:32:16,413 Speaker 3: again you would expect over a few years a decade 475 00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:19,173 Speaker 3: or so, that there will be a very close relationship 476 00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:23,653 Speaker 3: and you will start having people working in those regular 477 00:32:23,653 --> 00:32:28,013 Speaker 3: tre agencies doing favors for the pharmaceutical industry because they 478 00:32:28,013 --> 00:32:31,213 Speaker 3: will pay far more in a couple of years time 479 00:32:31,293 --> 00:32:36,693 Speaker 3: in a new job. So it's you know, we have 480 00:32:36,893 --> 00:32:41,773 Speaker 3: to face this and realize the sort of structures that 481 00:32:41,853 --> 00:32:44,533 Speaker 3: we've built and then fix those structures so that they're 482 00:32:44,613 --> 00:32:48,173 Speaker 3: not so open to abuse. Australia used to have a 483 00:32:48,293 --> 00:32:50,573 Speaker 3: law when I was a kid growing up there that 484 00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:53,973 Speaker 3: no one could own. It was something like more than 485 00:32:54,053 --> 00:32:57,293 Speaker 3: two newspapers or one TV station, that sort of thing, 486 00:32:58,093 --> 00:33:00,173 Speaker 3: and then they poured it all down I think in 487 00:33:00,253 --> 00:33:04,013 Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties, and now you can sort of own 488 00:33:04,053 --> 00:33:08,493 Speaker 3: what you like, and of course that is going to 489 00:33:08,693 --> 00:33:13,253 Speaker 3: bring more concentration and media, and of course that makes 490 00:33:13,293 --> 00:33:18,453 Speaker 3: it much more open for private for huge multinational corporations 491 00:33:18,493 --> 00:33:21,333 Speaker 3: with more money than austraateity has got to own, influence, 492 00:33:21,533 --> 00:33:25,373 Speaker 3: own the country. What we hear. Yes, So none of 493 00:33:25,453 --> 00:33:28,453 Speaker 3: this is surprising, and COVID is a symptom of this. 494 00:33:29,213 --> 00:33:32,973 Speaker 3: We were massively missled by the media. And you can 495 00:33:33,173 --> 00:33:35,693 Speaker 3: argue about why the ABC gets on board because they're 496 00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:40,253 Speaker 3: supposedly not so subject to sponsorship, but they seem to 497 00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:44,333 Speaker 3: want to fit in. But this is what you'd expect. 498 00:33:44,373 --> 00:33:48,173 Speaker 3: You to expect the medical journals to favor the pharmaceutical 499 00:33:48,253 --> 00:33:50,493 Speaker 3: industry because a lot of their money comes from there. 500 00:33:50,773 --> 00:33:55,933 Speaker 3: They are for profit businesses owned by larger publishing houses 501 00:33:56,013 --> 00:34:01,653 Speaker 3: that are owned by Blackrock and Vanguard. So again it's 502 00:34:01,733 --> 00:34:06,373 Speaker 3: not surprising, it's just logical the journal industry. Medical journals 503 00:34:06,493 --> 00:34:11,213 Speaker 3: will print, obviously rubbish on the origins of COVID, and 504 00:34:12,373 --> 00:34:17,973 Speaker 3: they'll print stuff, you know, the denigrating alternative treatments. We're 505 00:34:18,013 --> 00:34:22,093 Speaker 3: familiar with that obviously, fraudulent, but this happened during COVID, 506 00:34:23,053 --> 00:34:26,653 Speaker 3: and you know, you can show later they're fraudulent, but 507 00:34:26,813 --> 00:34:29,533 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter because everyone doesn't. No one remembers that. 508 00:34:29,573 --> 00:34:33,173 Speaker 3: They just remember the original article. So they were actively 509 00:34:33,253 --> 00:34:36,493 Speaker 3: playing a role of helping the pharmaceutical industry and the 510 00:34:36,853 --> 00:34:39,813 Speaker 3: institution to own that, which are the same institutions that 511 00:34:39,893 --> 00:34:44,013 Speaker 3: own them. So again, you know, we've got away from 512 00:34:44,173 --> 00:34:48,413 Speaker 3: nation states and where we have this globalist economy and 513 00:34:49,573 --> 00:34:51,493 Speaker 3: this is the sort of thing it's going to drive. 514 00:34:52,093 --> 00:34:56,133 Speaker 2: Well, let me quote you something from from the piece 515 00:34:56,213 --> 00:35:00,613 Speaker 2: that we started discussing an update on international Health regulation 516 00:35:00,693 --> 00:35:04,013 Speaker 2: amendments and not to be down. The World Bank teamed 517 00:35:04,093 --> 00:35:07,693 Speaker 2: up with the WHO to provide an explanatory graphic in 518 00:35:07,853 --> 00:35:12,133 Speaker 2: the few report aimed at convincing our governments to divert 519 00:35:12,253 --> 00:35:17,173 Speaker 2: funds to pandemics rather than the major endemic diseases malaria, tuberculosis, 520 00:35:17,253 --> 00:35:21,373 Speaker 2: and HIV AIDS. To justify public money being allocated to 521 00:35:21,773 --> 00:35:28,973 Speaker 2: profitable pandemic preparedness rather than high burden diseases, they needed 522 00:35:29,053 --> 00:35:32,613 Speaker 2: to show that pandemics cost economies far more. They drew 523 00:35:32,653 --> 00:35:36,813 Speaker 2: a line for malaria, tuberculosis and HIV AIDS combined with 524 00:35:38,493 --> 00:35:42,893 Speaker 2: combined at twenty two billion dollars per year, probably about 525 00:35:42,933 --> 00:35:45,613 Speaker 2: one or two percent of the true cost. They then 526 00:35:46,493 --> 00:35:50,133 Speaker 2: drew a wavy line above this to indicate that SAS 527 00:35:50,133 --> 00:35:53,533 Speaker 2: won eight hundred and forty deaths and MERS about eight 528 00:35:53,653 --> 00:35:59,653 Speaker 2: hundred deaths, cost fifty to seventy billion. COVID has costed 529 00:35:59,693 --> 00:36:03,213 Speaker 2: it over nine trillion, which clearly includes costs of lockdowns 530 00:36:03,253 --> 00:36:09,693 Speaker 2: and incentive packages from extraordinary response. A Lancer article that 531 00:36:09,813 --> 00:36:14,453 Speaker 2: the WHO would have previously agreed with estimated annual economic 532 00:36:14,573 --> 00:36:17,893 Speaker 2: costs of tuberculosis alone at five hundred and eight billion, 533 00:36:18,373 --> 00:36:22,133 Speaker 2: but the WHO and the World Bank chose twenty two 534 00:36:22,293 --> 00:36:27,573 Speaker 2: billion for TB malaria at HIV. So there is another 535 00:36:28,373 --> 00:36:30,973 Speaker 2: piece that I want to stack up against this, and 536 00:36:31,093 --> 00:36:36,333 Speaker 2: that was that was to do with the WHO not 537 00:36:36,573 --> 00:36:42,093 Speaker 2: being survivable, that it's an outdated, an outdated organization and 538 00:36:42,933 --> 00:36:43,773 Speaker 2: it can't survive. 539 00:36:44,253 --> 00:36:48,093 Speaker 3: You say, yeah, well, it's hard to come back from 540 00:36:48,173 --> 00:36:50,213 Speaker 3: that graphic, isn't it. I mean, what they're doing and 541 00:36:50,293 --> 00:36:53,013 Speaker 3: this is that graphic was World Bank, who is in 542 00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:57,373 Speaker 3: their main report to the G twenty meeting in Indonesia 543 00:36:57,453 --> 00:37:01,813 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, to count the G twenty successfully to 544 00:37:02,853 --> 00:37:08,613 Speaker 3: issue strong statements backing the IHR amendments. The pandemic human 545 00:37:10,893 --> 00:37:14,533 Speaker 3: it yeah is I mean, you look at it and 546 00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:21,493 Speaker 3: it's just it's appalling. So the cost of HIV. So 547 00:37:21,773 --> 00:37:24,853 Speaker 3: they're trying to get across the idea that pandemics cost way, 548 00:37:24,893 --> 00:37:30,853 Speaker 3: way more than all these other diseases. But they can 549 00:37:30,933 --> 00:37:35,213 Speaker 3: only apart from COVID, have got diseases there they killed 550 00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:42,733 Speaker 3: less than twenty thousand people in total, and the cost 551 00:37:42,853 --> 00:37:46,613 Speaker 3: of comparing them, they're comparing them with malaria to ber 552 00:37:46,653 --> 00:37:49,693 Speaker 3: closer HIV. As you said, the true cost of those 553 00:37:49,813 --> 00:37:54,173 Speaker 3: is probably about based on that lanced article that five 554 00:37:54,293 --> 00:37:59,333 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty billion four to be alone. It's probably 555 00:37:59,453 --> 00:38:02,693 Speaker 3: with HIV and malaria. It depends how your costs is, 556 00:38:02,733 --> 00:38:05,013 Speaker 3: but you could say one and a half trillion or 557 00:38:05,053 --> 00:38:10,493 Speaker 3: something like that. And that's that's without the sort of 558 00:38:10,613 --> 00:38:14,893 Speaker 3: response which we did for COVID, which is extremely cost 559 00:38:15,093 --> 00:38:17,533 Speaker 3: This is just the cost of people dying and trying 560 00:38:17,573 --> 00:38:22,533 Speaker 3: to deal with it. The costs that they include for 561 00:38:22,693 --> 00:38:27,733 Speaker 3: COVID to get to nine trillion include several trillion in 562 00:38:27,893 --> 00:38:32,773 Speaker 3: incentive packages in the US and the cost of closing 563 00:38:32,853 --> 00:38:36,693 Speaker 3: down economies and closing supply lines and sending everyone home 564 00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:40,773 Speaker 3: from factories, and they're pretending that's COVID cost of pandemic cost. 565 00:38:41,933 --> 00:38:46,493 Speaker 3: So it's the organization, this is a world health organization. 566 00:38:46,933 --> 00:38:51,693 Speaker 3: They know that this is massively misleading and essentially rubbish, 567 00:38:52,053 --> 00:38:56,493 Speaker 3: and that certainly the costing of the endemic diseases they're 568 00:38:56,493 --> 00:39:00,253 Speaker 3: comparing outbreaks with is essentially a lie. So they know 569 00:39:00,453 --> 00:39:03,213 Speaker 3: this and they still publish it, and they send it 570 00:39:03,453 --> 00:39:06,093 Speaker 3: to the g twenty meeting, where well the heads of 571 00:39:06,173 --> 00:39:11,133 Speaker 3: state or there hangers on look at it and put 572 00:39:11,173 --> 00:39:13,373 Speaker 3: out a statement saying, this is terrible. We have to 573 00:39:13,453 --> 00:39:16,173 Speaker 3: fix this. We need to get lots of money for them. 574 00:39:17,373 --> 00:39:23,293 Speaker 3: So an organization that's gone that far off the rails 575 00:39:25,373 --> 00:39:31,613 Speaker 3: in terms of even bothering with the truth, it's hard 576 00:39:31,693 --> 00:39:35,493 Speaker 3: to see how you can actually use them for anything 577 00:39:36,653 --> 00:39:40,533 Speaker 3: that's beneficial in terms of, you know, the world's population, 578 00:39:43,613 --> 00:39:51,293 Speaker 3: the who has become increasingly centralized around Geneva, so you know, 579 00:39:51,373 --> 00:39:53,853 Speaker 3: the main health problems in the world is everyone would 580 00:39:53,893 --> 00:39:57,933 Speaker 3: know where people die earliest is in sub Saharan Africa, 581 00:39:58,053 --> 00:40:01,053 Speaker 3: parts of Asia, et cetera, where people are poor and 582 00:40:01,173 --> 00:40:04,853 Speaker 3: as a result, health systems are very poor and sanitation 583 00:40:05,053 --> 00:40:08,213 Speaker 3: is poor and nutrition is poor, and people live in 584 00:40:08,413 --> 00:40:12,733 Speaker 3: very crowded, poor living conditions, and that's why people dying. 585 00:40:12,813 --> 00:40:15,613 Speaker 3: They lack the very basics that we expect to have 586 00:40:15,773 --> 00:40:19,413 Speaker 3: when we go to the local clinic. So that's why 587 00:40:19,533 --> 00:40:22,693 Speaker 3: people are dying. But Who's whole thrust now is to 588 00:40:22,893 --> 00:40:25,573 Speaker 3: increase the number of people in Geneva, and that's what 589 00:40:25,733 --> 00:40:28,373 Speaker 3: GAVI is doing, that's what the Global Fund is doing. 590 00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:31,293 Speaker 3: Which over the last twenty years we've had this huge 591 00:40:31,333 --> 00:40:37,573 Speaker 3: increase in bureaucracies and whole new organizations arising or mostly 592 00:40:37,653 --> 00:40:42,773 Speaker 3: in Switzerland or in Western Europe and heavily staffed by 593 00:40:44,133 --> 00:40:48,933 Speaker 3: Europeans and Americans, and there's less and less emphasis on 594 00:40:49,693 --> 00:40:53,853 Speaker 3: the actual health problems, what's making a lot of people 595 00:40:53,893 --> 00:40:57,293 Speaker 3: in the world die much earlier than others. So, you know, 596 00:40:57,693 --> 00:41:00,773 Speaker 3: equity as they like to say, but seem to ignore. 597 00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:06,133 Speaker 3: So the whole direction of the organization is completely wrong 598 00:41:06,213 --> 00:41:09,213 Speaker 3: from a public health point of view. Public health is 599 00:41:09,253 --> 00:41:16,413 Speaker 3: about improving lifespan, improving the quality of life through better physical, mental, 600 00:41:16,773 --> 00:41:20,413 Speaker 3: and social health, as the Who's Constitution. 601 00:41:20,053 --> 00:41:25,613 Speaker 2: Says, So you're talking about the who. 602 00:41:25,253 --> 00:41:31,293 Speaker 3: When or the who. But also if you go back 603 00:41:31,413 --> 00:41:34,973 Speaker 3: twenty five years, thirty years, it's just the WHO essentially 604 00:41:35,013 --> 00:41:39,493 Speaker 3: in a bit of UNISEF. Now it's WHO, UNSEF, un AIDS, 605 00:41:40,213 --> 00:41:46,893 Speaker 3: GAVY for Vaccines, SEPI for vaccines, for pandemics exclusively, and 606 00:41:47,853 --> 00:41:52,173 Speaker 3: UNITID more commodities, the Global Fund, which is a huge funder. 607 00:41:52,333 --> 00:41:55,133 Speaker 3: I mean at these it's there to send money and 608 00:41:55,293 --> 00:41:58,213 Speaker 3: not so min stuff in other things. But it has 609 00:41:58,333 --> 00:42:00,853 Speaker 3: got a huge you know, it's now got over one 610 00:42:00,853 --> 00:42:03,773 Speaker 3: thousand people in its head office and when I first 611 00:42:03,893 --> 00:42:08,213 Speaker 3: visited it had twelve. But in two thousand and two 612 00:42:08,813 --> 00:42:12,493 Speaker 3: and they told me in that little office basement of 613 00:42:12,573 --> 00:42:15,733 Speaker 3: a building that they weren't going to expand anymore. So 614 00:42:16,453 --> 00:42:21,893 Speaker 3: we've created this sort of bureaucratic monster that is expanding 615 00:42:21,933 --> 00:42:24,373 Speaker 3: itself because you can always think of more reasons to 616 00:42:24,453 --> 00:42:27,973 Speaker 3: have more people in Geneva to do more important work 617 00:42:28,213 --> 00:42:32,533 Speaker 3: to save the world. And what's actually killing the world, 618 00:42:32,653 --> 00:42:38,333 Speaker 3: which is tuberculosis and poor nutrition and malaria and the 619 00:42:38,653 --> 00:42:41,493 Speaker 3: lack of basic care in a lot of countries and 620 00:42:42,333 --> 00:42:45,973 Speaker 3: very poor health systems due to poor economies. That's being 621 00:42:46,133 --> 00:42:48,813 Speaker 3: increasingly neglected by these organizations. 622 00:42:49,493 --> 00:42:53,693 Speaker 2: So the article that you wrote along with some Ramesh, 623 00:42:54,213 --> 00:42:58,733 Speaker 2: the WHO cannot be saved last paragraph. The Trump administration's 624 00:42:58,773 --> 00:43:02,853 Speaker 2: actions are an opportunity to rebase international health cooperation on 625 00:43:03,173 --> 00:43:08,853 Speaker 2: widely recognized standards of ethics and human rights if we 626 00:43:08,893 --> 00:43:12,813 Speaker 2: can even remember them. Countries and populations should be back 627 00:43:12,893 --> 00:43:16,733 Speaker 2: in control, and those seeking profit from illness should have 628 00:43:17,133 --> 00:43:20,533 Speaker 2: no role in decision making. The WHO, at nearly eighty 629 00:43:20,653 --> 00:43:24,333 Speaker 2: years of age, comes from a bygone era. It is 630 00:43:24,453 --> 00:43:28,973 Speaker 2: increasingly estranged from its world. We can do better fundamental 631 00:43:29,093 --> 00:43:32,613 Speaker 2: change and the way we manage international health cooperation will 632 00:43:32,653 --> 00:43:39,333 Speaker 2: be painful but ultimately healthy. But the WHO, when you 633 00:43:39,453 --> 00:43:42,773 Speaker 2: say that it cannot be saved, it's surviving, isn't it. 634 00:43:43,453 --> 00:43:48,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would say it's extremely highly unlikely to 635 00:43:48,773 --> 00:43:51,253 Speaker 3: be savable. You can never say cannot. We know we 636 00:43:51,373 --> 00:43:54,093 Speaker 3: did for the article, but we're trying to get across 637 00:43:54,133 --> 00:43:57,733 Speaker 3: it can't be safe in its present form. It's built 638 00:43:57,853 --> 00:44:01,453 Speaker 3: on increasingly on as us of falla season lies, and 639 00:44:01,653 --> 00:44:09,373 Speaker 3: it's increasingly beholden to the private sector, and eventually it's 640 00:44:09,453 --> 00:44:12,853 Speaker 3: not going to be viable anymore. It's going to lose 641 00:44:13,053 --> 00:44:16,973 Speaker 3: its legitimacy completely. There is a place for an international 642 00:44:17,653 --> 00:44:21,413 Speaker 3: health organization. It's useful to have somewhere where you can 643 00:44:21,453 --> 00:44:24,133 Speaker 3: go and meet, where you can have some basic norms 644 00:44:24,253 --> 00:44:26,693 Speaker 3: or standards that you will try to adhere to to 645 00:44:26,813 --> 00:44:31,133 Speaker 3: help each other. And it's useful to have organizations that 646 00:44:31,933 --> 00:44:36,013 Speaker 3: help countries that have less resources and you do have 647 00:44:36,133 --> 00:44:40,373 Speaker 3: outbreaks or have bad chronic disease, and it's in our 648 00:44:40,493 --> 00:44:43,693 Speaker 3: mutual interest to do that. That can be bilateral, or 649 00:44:43,733 --> 00:44:47,973 Speaker 3: it can be a multilateral like the WHO, but there 650 00:44:48,053 --> 00:44:50,773 Speaker 3: has to be a lot of limits on the way 651 00:44:50,813 --> 00:44:54,813 Speaker 3: it works. And I think people thought that WHO had 652 00:44:54,853 --> 00:44:59,533 Speaker 3: them originally it had very little private funding, the sort 653 00:44:59,573 --> 00:45:01,973 Speaker 3: of firewall between it and the private sector, et cetera. 654 00:45:02,093 --> 00:45:05,453 Speaker 3: Most of that has gone away, so remission. I think 655 00:45:05,493 --> 00:45:08,813 Speaker 3: that there is definitely a place for an interest or 656 00:45:08,853 --> 00:45:16,053 Speaker 3: health organization, but the WHO is increasingly going off in 657 00:45:16,173 --> 00:45:20,053 Speaker 3: the opposite direction from what an interestal health organization should be. 658 00:45:21,693 --> 00:45:25,093 Speaker 2: You've mentioned GABBY a couple of times, and I have 659 00:45:25,453 --> 00:45:28,173 Speaker 2: a feeling that most people don't know what GABBY is 660 00:45:28,493 --> 00:45:32,773 Speaker 2: or anything about it. And I say that because until 661 00:45:33,133 --> 00:45:36,813 Speaker 2: I read your material, I was in that position. So 662 00:45:37,373 --> 00:45:41,573 Speaker 2: defunding Gabby an important step toward the decolonization, and the 663 00:45:41,653 --> 00:45:46,373 Speaker 2: first subheaving is our age old argument with pathogens, take 664 00:45:46,413 --> 00:45:47,253 Speaker 2: it wherever you want to go. 665 00:45:48,053 --> 00:45:52,773 Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, So GAV is an organization, a large one 666 00:45:52,853 --> 00:45:55,933 Speaker 3: now set up by Bill Gates and a number of 667 00:45:56,013 --> 00:46:01,373 Speaker 3: countries in about two thousand and one exclusively to increase 668 00:46:01,453 --> 00:46:05,533 Speaker 3: access to vaccination in low income countries. That on his zone, 669 00:46:05,573 --> 00:46:08,653 Speaker 3: could be a good thing. Some vaccines can be very 670 00:46:08,773 --> 00:46:12,813 Speaker 3: useful in a lot of circumstances. The problem when you 671 00:46:12,933 --> 00:46:16,053 Speaker 3: go down that road is that you produce an organization, 672 00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:21,413 Speaker 3: highly funded, with a large bureaucracy, whose sole purpose is 673 00:46:21,573 --> 00:46:26,533 Speaker 3: not to improve public health and improve give people the 674 00:46:26,653 --> 00:46:31,173 Speaker 3: best health possible in their circumstances. The whole purpose of 675 00:46:31,253 --> 00:46:36,493 Speaker 3: this organization is to increase the flow of commodity, and 676 00:46:36,613 --> 00:46:39,973 Speaker 3: they work very closely and they're structured with the private sector. 677 00:46:40,013 --> 00:46:44,053 Speaker 3: The people who produce those commodities actually on its boort, 678 00:46:45,173 --> 00:46:48,133 Speaker 3: so it has a very close relationship with the manufacturers. 679 00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:52,133 Speaker 3: So rather than GAVY being about public health, it's not. 680 00:46:52,453 --> 00:46:57,773 Speaker 3: It's about working with vaccine manufacturers to increase markets for vaccines. 681 00:46:57,853 --> 00:47:00,693 Speaker 3: That's the role of GAVY. There can be a good 682 00:47:00,733 --> 00:47:03,493 Speaker 3: aspect to that, but the problem is that, as I 683 00:47:03,573 --> 00:47:07,333 Speaker 3: said earlier, the reason, and this is undeniable, This isn't controversial. 684 00:47:07,733 --> 00:47:10,733 Speaker 3: The reason we lived much longer in wealthy countries now 685 00:47:11,013 --> 00:47:12,773 Speaker 3: than we did one hundred hundred and fifty years ago 686 00:47:14,253 --> 00:47:20,133 Speaker 3: is because we have this much better sanitation, nutrition, et cetera. 687 00:47:20,933 --> 00:47:26,373 Speaker 3: Nearly all mortality from measles, from even potassis and so on. 688 00:47:27,053 --> 00:47:30,973 Speaker 3: Tennus we're going away before we had mass vaccination, or 689 00:47:31,013 --> 00:47:34,653 Speaker 3: they're on a trajectory that continued unchanged when vaccination started. 690 00:47:34,693 --> 00:47:37,373 Speaker 3: In the case of measles in most western countries, about 691 00:47:37,693 --> 00:47:40,613 Speaker 3: ninety five to ninety eight percent mortality had gone away 692 00:47:41,693 --> 00:47:46,413 Speaker 3: before the vaccine. Mass vaccination came. So mass vaccination helped 693 00:47:46,453 --> 00:47:48,493 Speaker 3: get rid of the virus, but did very little to 694 00:47:48,613 --> 00:47:51,973 Speaker 3: overall mortality because people would already stop dying from measles 695 00:47:52,453 --> 00:47:55,733 Speaker 3: because they weren't as vita an a deficient and as 696 00:47:55,773 --> 00:47:58,173 Speaker 3: deficient in other things which our bodies need to fight 697 00:47:58,213 --> 00:48:02,253 Speaker 3: a virus. So this isn't controversial. It's not pro or 698 00:48:02,293 --> 00:48:05,693 Speaker 3: anti vaxi. Is just the facts that I was taught 699 00:48:05,693 --> 00:48:09,693 Speaker 3: in medical school, and that is in is demonstrated in 700 00:48:09,813 --> 00:48:13,613 Speaker 3: the data from the Australian government, the UK government, the 701 00:48:13,693 --> 00:48:17,533 Speaker 3: American government, et cetera. The best way it would seem 702 00:48:17,773 --> 00:48:20,693 Speaker 3: to improve mortality, and there's very good efferences for this 703 00:48:20,773 --> 00:48:23,693 Speaker 3: as well in low income countries. Is to address these 704 00:48:24,493 --> 00:48:30,013 Speaker 3: drivers of good health first, sanitation, nutrition, et cetera. And 705 00:48:30,173 --> 00:48:33,373 Speaker 3: then you can say, oh, there's a specific problem because 706 00:48:33,413 --> 00:48:38,573 Speaker 3: a vaccine kill it helps with a specific disease it doesn't. 707 00:48:38,813 --> 00:48:42,493 Speaker 3: So you can stop someone dying of measles, and they 708 00:48:42,613 --> 00:48:46,613 Speaker 3: die of malaria in six months time because they're in 709 00:48:46,733 --> 00:48:50,333 Speaker 3: an area with a very poor health system, they're poorly 710 00:48:50,493 --> 00:48:55,373 Speaker 3: nourished and they're in very crowdic conditions, et cetera. Or 711 00:48:55,413 --> 00:48:58,693 Speaker 3: they can die of pneumonia or whatever. So the vaccine 712 00:48:58,733 --> 00:49:00,573 Speaker 3: will save them from measles, and you can tick the 713 00:49:00,613 --> 00:49:03,893 Speaker 3: box on that, but they've died six months later because 714 00:49:04,773 --> 00:49:09,093 Speaker 3: of all the other underlying conditions that they had that 715 00:49:09,253 --> 00:49:13,773 Speaker 3: made them much more susceptible to infectious disease. So you 716 00:49:14,533 --> 00:49:19,413 Speaker 3: can fix that by concentrating on nutrition, concentrating on sanitation. 717 00:49:20,013 --> 00:49:23,613 Speaker 3: So that would save more people probably than GAVY is 718 00:49:23,653 --> 00:49:26,653 Speaker 3: saving with vaccines, and there's a good basis for saying that. 719 00:49:28,053 --> 00:49:31,373 Speaker 3: But there is no GAVY for nutrition, there is no 720 00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:36,613 Speaker 3: GAVY for sanitation, and there is no private sector that's 721 00:49:36,653 --> 00:49:39,693 Speaker 3: going to get rich off those. So there's a huge 722 00:49:40,053 --> 00:49:43,213 Speaker 3: momentum behind GAVI that is selling a commodity that people 723 00:49:43,213 --> 00:49:47,413 Speaker 3: are getting rich on. We have reduced funding for nutrition 724 00:49:47,773 --> 00:49:52,853 Speaker 3: globally over the last five years, so we will sell 725 00:49:52,933 --> 00:49:56,173 Speaker 3: more vaccines, We'll get more vaccines out through GAVY, but 726 00:49:56,693 --> 00:50:00,733 Speaker 3: that is not going to have anywhere near as big 727 00:50:00,813 --> 00:50:05,133 Speaker 3: an influence on outcomes on health. So we have the 728 00:50:05,213 --> 00:50:08,293 Speaker 3: same problem with some of the SEPPI. As a class 729 00:50:08,613 --> 00:50:11,733 Speaker 3: example which is seven twenty seventeen at the World Economic 730 00:50:11,813 --> 00:50:19,773 Speaker 3: Forum by again Gates Foundation, Welcome Trust and India, Norway, 731 00:50:19,893 --> 00:50:24,373 Speaker 3: couple of other countries. It is exclusively for pandemics, which 732 00:50:24,773 --> 00:50:28,493 Speaker 3: when it was formed hadn't really happened for a century, 733 00:50:29,453 --> 00:50:33,853 Speaker 3: and it's almost exclusively for vaccines for those pandemics. So 734 00:50:34,053 --> 00:50:38,493 Speaker 3: you have hundreds of people whose sole purpose is to 735 00:50:38,653 --> 00:50:45,133 Speaker 3: produce vaccines for pandemics and to convince people that that 736 00:50:45,253 --> 00:50:49,973 Speaker 3: should be funded more. They're not interested in malaria, TBHIV. 737 00:50:50,133 --> 00:50:53,053 Speaker 3: They would draw graphs like we saw from who the 738 00:50:53,173 --> 00:50:57,573 Speaker 3: show that those diseases have very little impact, but there's 739 00:50:57,613 --> 00:51:02,413 Speaker 3: an enormous impact from outbreaks because this is what will 740 00:51:02,453 --> 00:51:05,893 Speaker 3: get them funded and keep their salaries and keep their 741 00:51:06,733 --> 00:51:10,773 Speaker 3: sponsors happy. So we've built in international public health this 742 00:51:11,733 --> 00:51:17,493 Speaker 3: series of agencies that we didn't have before whose sole 743 00:51:17,613 --> 00:51:23,013 Speaker 3: purpose is getting commodities out that are profitable to large corporations. 744 00:51:24,333 --> 00:51:27,253 Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with making a profit from health, but 745 00:51:27,493 --> 00:51:30,933 Speaker 3: it has to be in a way that is in 746 00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:34,493 Speaker 3: line with overall health needs. It can't be an end 747 00:51:34,733 --> 00:51:37,013 Speaker 3: unto itself. And if you have an agency that's just 748 00:51:37,693 --> 00:51:41,173 Speaker 3: concentrated on getting commodities out, it becomes an end to itself. 749 00:51:41,253 --> 00:51:43,573 Speaker 3: So you want to get vaccines out, and you can 750 00:51:43,653 --> 00:51:48,053 Speaker 3: tick the box saying we got one hundred million doses 751 00:51:48,093 --> 00:51:51,813 Speaker 3: of a measles vaccine out. Therefore you tick the box. 752 00:51:51,933 --> 00:51:55,453 Speaker 3: We saved I don't know, five million lives of children. 753 00:51:56,173 --> 00:51:58,973 Speaker 3: Many of those children died of something else in the 754 00:51:59,093 --> 00:52:02,053 Speaker 3: next year or two, but that doesn't matter. That's that's 755 00:52:02,133 --> 00:52:05,213 Speaker 3: not our problem. That's not our remit. Our remit is 756 00:52:05,293 --> 00:52:09,533 Speaker 3: not public health. Our remit is measles vaccine. So this 757 00:52:09,773 --> 00:52:13,053 Speaker 3: is international public health now, who is twenty five percent 758 00:52:13,133 --> 00:52:16,413 Speaker 3: funded now by the private sector, and most of the 759 00:52:16,493 --> 00:52:21,773 Speaker 3: other funding comes from countries with large pharmaceutical industries, and 760 00:52:23,013 --> 00:52:26,213 Speaker 3: all the private funding in the seventy eighty percent of 761 00:52:26,293 --> 00:52:30,293 Speaker 3: the public funding is specified which means who has to 762 00:52:30,413 --> 00:52:33,093 Speaker 3: do what the funder says. They're not just given the 763 00:52:33,093 --> 00:52:35,653 Speaker 3: money to WHO. They're give them money WHO to do 764 00:52:36,013 --> 00:52:42,173 Speaker 3: a certain thing, particularly around health emergencies. So the WHO 765 00:52:42,333 --> 00:52:48,213 Speaker 3: itself is becoming like GAVI, like SEPI. It's becoming oriented 766 00:52:48,293 --> 00:52:52,293 Speaker 3: towards the commodities that its sponsors are very interested in, 767 00:52:52,573 --> 00:52:55,493 Speaker 3: rather than being able to step back and have a 768 00:52:55,573 --> 00:53:00,933 Speaker 3: look at public health. And so what ramession I pointing 769 00:53:00,973 --> 00:53:03,613 Speaker 3: out is that we need a very different agency with 770 00:53:03,733 --> 00:53:07,333 Speaker 3: very different rules that can actually keep that broader focus 771 00:53:08,453 --> 00:53:10,933 Speaker 3: success that you're having. Do you think there are some 772 00:53:11,173 --> 00:53:15,053 Speaker 3: countries that are concerned that there's a significant concern in 773 00:53:15,133 --> 00:53:19,173 Speaker 3: African countries they don't want to get rid of the 774 00:53:19,413 --> 00:53:23,373 Speaker 3: WHO without a good replacement because there are you know, 775 00:53:23,493 --> 00:53:26,093 Speaker 3: they gain, They do have problems with TV milor and 776 00:53:26,133 --> 00:53:29,493 Speaker 3: they gain from the who's work in a lot of areas. 777 00:53:30,533 --> 00:53:32,693 Speaker 3: It's not doing what they would like, but it is 778 00:53:32,813 --> 00:53:35,133 Speaker 3: better than not having it at all for them. The 779 00:53:36,013 --> 00:53:39,693 Speaker 3: US has, but if they had a good alternative, then 780 00:53:39,933 --> 00:53:42,853 Speaker 3: I think there'll be a lot of interest in going 781 00:53:43,613 --> 00:53:46,613 Speaker 3: to an alternative that isn't just where most of the 782 00:53:46,813 --> 00:53:51,013 Speaker 3: money doesn't go to Western corporation's Western individuals, but actually 783 00:53:51,853 --> 00:53:53,853 Speaker 3: that they are able to use it to improve their 784 00:53:53,893 --> 00:53:57,053 Speaker 3: health systems and improve the underlying drivers of health, because 785 00:53:57,093 --> 00:53:59,053 Speaker 3: then they can improve their economy. So they put to 786 00:53:59,133 --> 00:54:02,653 Speaker 3: their people, et cetera. And all countries are you know, 787 00:54:02,893 --> 00:54:06,973 Speaker 3: there's corruption everywhere, there's governments that are put of self 788 00:54:07,053 --> 00:54:13,053 Speaker 3: interested people everywhere, But in general, I think most countries 789 00:54:13,413 --> 00:54:17,013 Speaker 3: in Africa are interested in improving their economies overall and 790 00:54:17,853 --> 00:54:20,573 Speaker 3: changing the way that the balance in health and in 791 00:54:20,653 --> 00:54:24,573 Speaker 3: other areas between where the money goes between Western corporations 792 00:54:24,653 --> 00:54:28,973 Speaker 3: and themselves. The US has dropped out of who or 793 00:54:29,133 --> 00:54:33,573 Speaker 3: is doing so. Argentina says the same. I think that 794 00:54:33,693 --> 00:54:37,573 Speaker 3: will help because at a minimum, it will open the 795 00:54:37,733 --> 00:54:42,853 Speaker 3: door for alternative approaches. They haven't said what they want 796 00:54:42,973 --> 00:54:48,253 Speaker 3: is an alternative. The US was particularly concerned that they 797 00:54:48,293 --> 00:54:50,853 Speaker 3: were giving too much money to who and China wasn't 798 00:54:50,853 --> 00:54:55,173 Speaker 3: giving enough, et cetera. They haven't really articulated the problem 799 00:54:55,293 --> 00:55:00,333 Speaker 3: with the way the money is spent, and that is 800 00:55:00,453 --> 00:55:06,613 Speaker 3: partly because US corporations are benefiting from this. But at 801 00:55:06,733 --> 00:55:10,533 Speaker 3: least take making a step that far, it opens the 802 00:55:10,613 --> 00:55:12,653 Speaker 3: door for them to have a bit more to think 803 00:55:12,733 --> 00:55:15,853 Speaker 3: of you know what would on an alternative international health 804 00:55:15,933 --> 00:55:20,653 Speaker 3: agency look like, and how do you limit its ability 805 00:55:21,933 --> 00:55:26,733 Speaker 3: over to overstep as the who has and defunding GAVY, 806 00:55:26,853 --> 00:55:28,813 Speaker 3: which the US has done, I think is a good thing. 807 00:55:30,213 --> 00:55:33,373 Speaker 3: It won't kill huge numbers of people, as you know, 808 00:55:33,613 --> 00:55:39,413 Speaker 3: people pretending. Firstly, because vaccines play a role, but they're 809 00:55:39,453 --> 00:55:44,653 Speaker 3: not the primary reason how we stop people dying. Secondly, 810 00:55:44,773 --> 00:55:49,533 Speaker 3: because those funds will go in some other way. They don't. 811 00:55:49,613 --> 00:55:53,173 Speaker 3: The money doesn't simply disappear, It goes into other areas 812 00:55:53,253 --> 00:55:56,653 Speaker 3: of the economy or other areas of health thereas, but 813 00:55:56,813 --> 00:56:01,093 Speaker 3: lateral support and other mechanisms that government can use that 814 00:56:01,213 --> 00:56:05,013 Speaker 3: are more palatable to the current US government. So there 815 00:56:05,053 --> 00:56:09,213 Speaker 3: are good alternatives to GAVY that don't concentrate so much 816 00:56:09,333 --> 00:56:13,733 Speaker 3: wealth in Switzerland but actually send it to the countries concerned. 817 00:56:15,333 --> 00:56:19,133 Speaker 3: So the hope is that they will start to open up. 818 00:56:19,933 --> 00:56:22,933 Speaker 2: Let me get into the conspiratorial aspect of things, just 819 00:56:23,213 --> 00:56:27,493 Speaker 2: just briefly. Not necessarily conspiratorial, but you know they can 820 00:56:27,613 --> 00:56:28,613 Speaker 2: be delecated. 821 00:56:28,693 --> 00:56:29,293 Speaker 3: That title. 822 00:56:29,893 --> 00:56:32,413 Speaker 2: How much of all the all the stuff that we 823 00:56:32,573 --> 00:56:37,293 Speaker 2: talk that you talk about, that we read and discuss, 824 00:56:37,893 --> 00:56:43,693 Speaker 2: is leading to a much more controlled environment in pretty 825 00:56:43,733 --> 00:56:46,413 Speaker 2: much all democratic countries are. 826 00:56:46,413 --> 00:56:49,453 Speaker 3: In eating in the way of vaccine passports and that 827 00:56:49,533 --> 00:56:55,093 Speaker 3: sort of Yeah, yeah, it's not conspiratorial, is it. It's real. Yeah, 828 00:56:55,173 --> 00:56:57,733 Speaker 3: they're the EU has work with the WHO on a 829 00:56:57,813 --> 00:57:01,293 Speaker 3: vaccine passport, which they all bring in as soon as 830 00:57:01,333 --> 00:57:04,533 Speaker 3: they can. I expect then they will start to put 831 00:57:04,573 --> 00:57:07,973 Speaker 3: things like flu vaccine, which is no one has shown 832 00:57:07,973 --> 00:57:11,413 Speaker 3: any impact of more on mortality from flu vaccine, but 833 00:57:11,773 --> 00:57:14,293 Speaker 3: they will put it on and it'll be driven by 834 00:57:15,213 --> 00:57:17,293 Speaker 3: they would say public health, but in the end it's 835 00:57:17,333 --> 00:57:19,893 Speaker 3: going to be profit because there's no really good public 836 00:57:19,933 --> 00:57:24,693 Speaker 3: health arguments for this. They had vaccine passports in COVID 837 00:57:24,893 --> 00:57:28,373 Speaker 3: so that you couldn't go if you weren't vaccinated with 838 00:57:28,533 --> 00:57:31,973 Speaker 3: a vaccine that didn't stop transmission at all, and that 839 00:57:32,573 --> 00:57:37,173 Speaker 3: there's evidence of its good associations. For instance, a Cleveland 840 00:57:37,213 --> 00:57:41,453 Speaker 3: clinic has shown a very strong association rapidly of the 841 00:57:41,613 --> 00:57:45,773 Speaker 3: more boosters you've had, the more frequently you get COVID. 842 00:57:46,933 --> 00:57:51,373 Speaker 3: So they insisted you get a vaccine like that to 843 00:57:51,533 --> 00:57:56,693 Speaker 3: go from a country that had endemic sarskov two virus 844 00:57:56,973 --> 00:58:01,253 Speaker 3: to another country that had endemic sarscobe two virus. So 845 00:58:01,773 --> 00:58:07,093 Speaker 3: there's absolutely no logic in this whatsoever. It doesn't matter 846 00:58:07,133 --> 00:58:10,213 Speaker 3: if you travel or stay home. The virus is in 847 00:58:10,333 --> 00:58:15,333 Speaker 3: both places anyway, so travel doesn't matter, and logic didn't 848 00:58:15,373 --> 00:58:17,893 Speaker 3: come into it. They had a vaccine powerful and they 849 00:58:17,973 --> 00:58:19,893 Speaker 3: used it, So it's hard to come up with any 850 00:58:20,013 --> 00:58:25,333 Speaker 3: logical reason for that other than coercing vaccination. And lots 851 00:58:25,333 --> 00:58:27,613 Speaker 3: of people had their vaccination so that they could visit 852 00:58:27,733 --> 00:58:31,693 Speaker 3: relatives or go on holiday, et cetera because of that, 853 00:58:32,413 --> 00:58:36,973 Speaker 3: so that will happen again. The CBDC is being accelerated 854 00:58:37,053 --> 00:58:39,733 Speaker 3: in Europe. A sort of underline I think has said 855 00:58:39,813 --> 00:58:43,133 Speaker 3: that they're trying to get out by October, so that's 856 00:58:43,173 --> 00:58:47,533 Speaker 3: a real thing. It allows governments to have much more 857 00:58:47,613 --> 00:58:52,933 Speaker 3: control over expenditure of their citizens. That's a real thing. 858 00:58:53,013 --> 00:58:57,413 Speaker 3: It's not a conspiracy. The Bank of International Settlements is 859 00:58:57,493 --> 00:59:02,613 Speaker 3: they're saying this is important to allow governments to have 860 00:59:02,733 --> 00:59:07,933 Speaker 3: more control over what their citizens buy. So public health 861 00:59:08,013 --> 00:59:11,013 Speaker 3: is being used to further this agenda, I think, because 862 00:59:11,093 --> 00:59:14,453 Speaker 3: as we said at the start, it's very easy to 863 00:59:14,533 --> 00:59:20,933 Speaker 3: engender fear through infecious disease, and when people are fearful, 864 00:59:21,653 --> 00:59:26,053 Speaker 3: they will allow things and impingent on their freedom which 865 00:59:26,133 --> 00:59:29,693 Speaker 3: they wouldn't normally allow, and they also they simply don't 866 00:59:29,733 --> 00:59:30,253 Speaker 3: think straight. 867 00:59:30,813 --> 00:59:34,973 Speaker 2: Well, does it not fall into the conspiracy framework at 868 00:59:35,093 --> 00:59:39,053 Speaker 2: least a little because you're being told you've you've got 869 00:59:39,093 --> 00:59:41,453 Speaker 2: to get it for one thing, which is you've just 870 00:59:41,573 --> 00:59:46,733 Speaker 2: described as a nonsense, but it will be eventually employed 871 00:59:46,853 --> 00:59:49,413 Speaker 2: for a whole lot of other things that if they 872 00:59:49,853 --> 00:59:55,133 Speaker 2: publicized it now would probably cause a bit of rebellion. 873 00:59:55,413 --> 00:59:56,573 Speaker 2: That fair enough, I hope. 874 00:59:56,613 --> 01:00:02,093 Speaker 3: So yeah, well, I think I think, you know, things 875 01:00:02,133 --> 01:00:04,893 Speaker 3: are happening slowly, that they're happening fast in a way, 876 01:00:05,013 --> 01:00:08,733 Speaker 3: but in human terms, you know, it's something tas more 877 01:00:08,773 --> 01:00:12,693 Speaker 3: than a week. We think it's slow. So if we 878 01:00:12,813 --> 01:00:18,373 Speaker 3: look back to the nineteen nineties and we compare to today, 879 01:00:18,613 --> 01:00:21,053 Speaker 3: we could not have imagined that we would even be 880 01:00:21,693 --> 01:00:25,653 Speaker 3: discussing this. I remember in Australia in the nineteen eighties 881 01:00:25,733 --> 01:00:31,253 Speaker 3: and rejected the very idea of a digital idea that 882 01:00:31,413 --> 01:00:34,653 Speaker 3: there was a national outcry when the government tried to 883 01:00:34,733 --> 01:00:39,413 Speaker 3: introduce and they backed off. Now, people don't blink, there's 884 01:00:39,453 --> 01:00:42,253 Speaker 3: going to be digital ideas in all over the world. 885 01:00:42,613 --> 01:00:46,653 Speaker 3: It's hard to know. Yeah, these things are coming quite rapidly, 886 01:00:46,813 --> 01:00:50,413 Speaker 3: but slow enough that they don't all come up on 887 01:00:50,533 --> 01:00:53,533 Speaker 3: the same day or the same week, and so it 888 01:00:53,853 --> 01:00:59,093 Speaker 3: seems slow to us, and we forget very quickly what 889 01:00:59,293 --> 01:01:02,773 Speaker 3: things were like a few years earlier. There's no reason 890 01:01:02,933 --> 01:01:04,493 Speaker 3: for it from a public health point of view that 891 01:01:04,573 --> 01:01:08,053 Speaker 3: they're being pushed as a public health response, but they're not. 892 01:01:08,933 --> 01:01:12,493 Speaker 3: It's illogical from a public health point of view. Well, 893 01:01:12,653 --> 01:01:16,413 Speaker 3: I have a little vested interest in the original question 894 01:01:17,933 --> 01:01:22,013 Speaker 3: because I'm I'm now complete. I think I finished up yesterday. 895 01:01:22,133 --> 01:01:25,693 Speaker 2: But the hurdles that I had to jump to take 896 01:01:25,773 --> 01:01:30,973 Speaker 2: this trip that we're about to depart on all out 897 01:01:31,013 --> 01:01:32,893 Speaker 2: of all proportion to what it used to be. Once 898 01:01:32,933 --> 01:01:35,773 Speaker 2: you've got your passport, you get in the plane, you 899 01:01:35,853 --> 01:01:38,413 Speaker 2: go to a country, show your passport, and that's all. 900 01:01:39,333 --> 01:01:41,733 Speaker 2: But now you've got I mean, I've just gone through 901 01:01:42,173 --> 01:01:47,213 Speaker 2: a couple of attempts at getting a visa for Turkey 902 01:01:47,613 --> 01:01:50,493 Speaker 2: because we're spending a couple of nights in port on 903 01:01:50,573 --> 01:01:56,573 Speaker 2: a cruise, and that was very, very testing. A friend 904 01:01:56,613 --> 01:01:58,213 Speaker 2: of mine took an hour and a quarter to get through. 905 01:01:58,253 --> 01:02:00,413 Speaker 2: It just drives you crazy. 906 01:02:01,733 --> 01:02:04,893 Speaker 3: I've got UK citizenship and I am going there soon. 907 01:02:04,933 --> 01:02:09,893 Speaker 3: I have to They now need a visa for my children. Yeah, so. 908 01:02:11,853 --> 01:02:15,493 Speaker 2: It's well actually, actually yes, I had to get a 909 01:02:15,573 --> 01:02:19,893 Speaker 2: visa too, but that that one was easy compared to 910 01:02:19,973 --> 01:02:24,493 Speaker 2: the to the other one. And we're talking about requiring 911 01:02:24,653 --> 01:02:30,333 Speaker 2: visas for young children. Yeah, I mean it's interesting. I mean, yes, 912 01:02:30,453 --> 01:02:34,973 Speaker 2: we have to control immigration, et cetera. And I actually 913 01:02:35,093 --> 01:02:39,693 Speaker 2: think more and more that nation states with borders are 914 01:02:40,053 --> 01:02:42,253 Speaker 2: essential for maintaining democracy. 915 01:02:42,533 --> 01:02:45,493 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, I mean it's an interesting one, isn't it. 916 01:02:46,093 --> 01:02:49,373 Speaker 3: The you know, here I am complaining about my children 917 01:02:49,413 --> 01:02:53,573 Speaker 3: getting a visa, but I do think that we need 918 01:02:53,693 --> 01:02:57,493 Speaker 3: to control who's crossing borders for all sorts of reasons, 919 01:02:57,733 --> 01:03:01,133 Speaker 3: mainly so that we can continue to have a say 920 01:03:01,133 --> 01:03:08,093 Speaker 3: in how we are governed. Unquestionable. Well, there's yes, there's 921 01:03:08,333 --> 01:03:12,933 Speaker 3: maybe this is an example of a change that you 922 01:03:13,053 --> 01:03:18,173 Speaker 3: could argue has some sense behind it, but unfortunately, I 923 01:03:18,373 --> 01:03:23,453 Speaker 3: think it is going to be more about governments tracking 924 01:03:23,533 --> 01:03:23,933 Speaker 3: what we do. 925 01:03:24,213 --> 01:03:28,773 Speaker 2: And well, it's building a base, it's building an information base. 926 01:03:29,293 --> 01:03:31,573 Speaker 2: I mean, to get the Turkey get the Turkey issue. 927 01:03:31,573 --> 01:03:36,093 Speaker 2: And I had to provide my deceased parents full names 928 01:03:36,693 --> 01:03:40,453 Speaker 2: as well as some some other things, and you and 929 01:03:40,613 --> 01:03:43,773 Speaker 2: you just wonder why mm hmm. 930 01:03:44,813 --> 01:03:45,173 Speaker 3: Anyway. 931 01:03:46,053 --> 01:03:49,333 Speaker 2: It The very easy approach to that is to say, oh, 932 01:03:49,413 --> 01:03:51,253 Speaker 2: well that's the way it is, just get on with it. 933 01:03:51,773 --> 01:03:55,933 Speaker 3: But that gets under my skin. There's the term proportionate, 934 01:03:56,653 --> 01:03:59,213 Speaker 3: which is always a hard one, but it does have 935 01:03:59,333 --> 01:04:02,653 Speaker 3: some Arendalmus I think. I mean, essentially, I think when 936 01:04:02,693 --> 01:04:05,693 Speaker 3: a government introduces a rule, they should be able to 937 01:04:05,773 --> 01:04:10,133 Speaker 3: show a compelling why it is necessary. 938 01:04:10,653 --> 01:04:13,173 Speaker 2: Well, if they don't and they just do it, you 939 01:04:13,333 --> 01:04:15,773 Speaker 2: know you're on the way to a destination you don't 940 01:04:15,773 --> 01:04:16,333 Speaker 2: want to be at. 941 01:04:17,253 --> 01:04:19,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that comes back to the COVID passports. There 942 01:04:19,773 --> 01:04:22,893 Speaker 3: isn't a compelling reason, so therefore you're on a certain 943 01:04:22,973 --> 01:04:27,533 Speaker 3: destination exactly. I think there is a lot of people 944 01:04:28,093 --> 01:04:34,493 Speaker 3: waking up more and more to a concern about what 945 01:04:34,693 --> 01:04:37,333 Speaker 3: is going on. It's been interesting in the US watching 946 01:04:37,413 --> 01:04:43,413 Speaker 3: the whole Epstein files and so on recently that I think, 947 01:04:43,493 --> 01:04:45,973 Speaker 3: far more than in the past, people are not accepting 948 01:04:46,213 --> 01:04:50,813 Speaker 3: what they're being told by governments, and there's probably a result. 949 01:04:50,893 --> 01:04:53,173 Speaker 3: I think what's happened over the last five years has 950 01:04:53,293 --> 01:04:58,013 Speaker 3: really shaken a large part of the population's faith in 951 01:04:58,333 --> 01:05:01,613 Speaker 3: in bureaucracies and in the way we governed and our 952 01:05:01,693 --> 01:05:05,213 Speaker 3: institutions so I think that's very promising. 953 01:05:05,933 --> 01:05:08,453 Speaker 2: I'll give you a just finally, I'll give you you 954 01:05:08,933 --> 01:05:12,493 Speaker 2: an example that I consider to be valid, and that 955 01:05:12,733 --> 01:05:17,853 Speaker 2: is the migration movements all over the world. Europe stands out, 956 01:05:18,293 --> 01:05:24,213 Speaker 2: but even countries like Australia and New Zealand are allowing, 957 01:05:25,133 --> 01:05:28,933 Speaker 2: in fact begging, a lot of people to come live here. 958 01:05:29,653 --> 01:05:32,693 Speaker 2: And I don't believe that there is enough limitation on 959 01:05:32,853 --> 01:05:36,853 Speaker 2: who comes into a country in this day and age. 960 01:05:37,253 --> 01:05:40,653 Speaker 2: It's they want people. But the question is why do 961 01:05:40,773 --> 01:05:43,333 Speaker 2: they want so many people when already there's a housing 962 01:05:43,413 --> 01:05:46,893 Speaker 2: crisis in Australia and New Zealand and other crises as well. 963 01:05:48,093 --> 01:05:51,253 Speaker 2: Why do they want people from places that are likely 964 01:05:51,373 --> 01:05:56,533 Speaker 2: to cause trouble or have a different, totally different, out 965 01:05:56,573 --> 01:06:00,893 Speaker 2: of step culture or cultural background, in other words, a 966 01:06:00,973 --> 01:06:04,613 Speaker 2: disruption force. And you can't help but wonder if that 967 01:06:04,853 --> 01:06:09,173 Speaker 2: has something to do with changing the the foundations of 968 01:06:09,213 --> 01:06:14,253 Speaker 2: a country or removing the foundations of a country perhaps 969 01:06:15,973 --> 01:06:18,653 Speaker 2: rather than changing well that isn't that change. 970 01:06:18,693 --> 01:06:21,493 Speaker 3: If you look at Europe, you wonder whether the European 971 01:06:21,933 --> 01:06:28,053 Speaker 3: Commission is quite interested in essentially doing away with the 972 01:06:28,213 --> 01:06:31,533 Speaker 3: nation states of Europe and just having one big conglomerate 973 01:06:31,973 --> 01:06:34,893 Speaker 3: and that they seem to be pushing quite strongly in 974 01:06:34,973 --> 01:06:38,893 Speaker 3: that direction. Yeah, it's I mean, immigration's really difficult. The 975 01:06:40,173 --> 01:06:42,973 Speaker 3: I mean one of the reasons for it is there 976 01:06:43,013 --> 01:06:47,933 Speaker 3: are a number of reasons. One is this increasing inequality 977 01:06:48,013 --> 01:06:51,253 Speaker 3: between countries that happen in COVID. We've been pushing for 978 01:06:51,333 --> 01:06:55,333 Speaker 3: a long time, and people leave countries for a reason. 979 01:06:55,413 --> 01:06:59,573 Speaker 3: And most of the European immigrants that have just turned 980 01:06:59,653 --> 01:07:05,293 Speaker 3: up have come from places like Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and 981 01:07:05,453 --> 01:07:13,173 Speaker 3: so on, which were subject to invasions and deliberate disruption 982 01:07:13,573 --> 01:07:18,653 Speaker 3: by European Western countries, and the others are coming from 983 01:07:19,253 --> 01:07:23,053 Speaker 3: war torn and very poor countries, and there's not a 984 01:07:23,173 --> 01:07:27,013 Speaker 3: lot of effort to try to undo that sort of approach. 985 01:07:27,453 --> 01:07:30,093 Speaker 3: We've seen it perhaps continuing in the Middle East in 986 01:07:30,173 --> 01:07:35,533 Speaker 3: the last month or two. So if you destroy a country, 987 01:07:35,573 --> 01:07:40,053 Speaker 3: you expect people to leave it. And I think we're 988 01:07:40,093 --> 01:07:43,813 Speaker 3: reaping some of what we've sown in that situation. That 989 01:07:43,933 --> 01:07:48,533 Speaker 3: there's also a real issue of fertility, and about half 990 01:07:48,573 --> 01:07:57,373 Speaker 3: the world now has fertility rates below replacement. So the 991 01:07:58,653 --> 01:08:01,333 Speaker 3: governments will argue that they're trying to get young people 992 01:08:01,413 --> 01:08:07,813 Speaker 3: in two help with that but there'll be two approach. 993 01:08:07,893 --> 01:08:09,573 Speaker 3: That one will be to bring people in on a 994 01:08:09,653 --> 01:08:14,293 Speaker 3: basis of skills rather than people who may not be 995 01:08:14,373 --> 01:08:19,013 Speaker 3: contributing much. And the other one is to well, maybe 996 01:08:19,053 --> 01:08:23,813 Speaker 3: you should start thinking about why you're losing fertility and 997 01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:24,413 Speaker 3: address that. 998 01:08:25,613 --> 01:08:27,493 Speaker 2: Look, if I may take just a little more of 999 01:08:27,573 --> 01:08:31,613 Speaker 2: your time, because I've thought of two things. One last 1000 01:08:31,693 --> 01:08:36,013 Speaker 2: night was watching Watching Sky Australia and it had to 1001 01:08:36,093 --> 01:08:38,573 Speaker 2: do with the state of Victoria, your home state, my 1002 01:08:38,733 --> 01:08:44,093 Speaker 2: home state, and the comment was made that Melbourne is 1003 01:08:44,253 --> 01:08:48,533 Speaker 2: now the anti Semitic capital of the world, and they 1004 01:08:48,613 --> 01:08:50,093 Speaker 2: played they played. 1005 01:08:49,853 --> 01:08:51,453 Speaker 3: A video with. 1006 01:08:52,973 --> 01:08:58,093 Speaker 2: A disguised individual, very disguised, who was fancying himself as 1007 01:08:58,213 --> 01:09:02,933 Speaker 2: Darth Vader in the voice you know what I mean, 1008 01:09:03,973 --> 01:09:07,733 Speaker 2: and he was referring to a couple of events that 1009 01:09:07,773 --> 01:09:13,013 Speaker 2: have taken place very recently in Melbourne, serious events, attacks 1010 01:09:13,093 --> 01:09:19,173 Speaker 2: and destruction, and said that the next one is coming 1011 01:09:19,573 --> 01:09:22,013 Speaker 2: and it will be much worse. The one thought that 1012 01:09:22,093 --> 01:09:24,493 Speaker 2: I had when I was watching this and listening to 1013 01:09:24,653 --> 01:09:29,573 Speaker 2: it was this guy, while the voice was slowed down 1014 01:09:29,653 --> 01:09:35,173 Speaker 2: and affected, was actually speaking extremely good English. There was 1015 01:09:35,253 --> 01:09:40,373 Speaker 2: no accent outside of side of home. And he was 1016 01:09:40,773 --> 01:09:46,493 Speaker 2: a well educated individual you could tell from the words. 1017 01:09:46,213 --> 01:09:47,973 Speaker 3: That he used and the. 1018 01:09:49,613 --> 01:09:52,013 Speaker 2: Pronouncement of them, and the first thing that was said 1019 01:09:52,413 --> 01:09:55,573 Speaker 2: after they came out of that and started the panel 1020 01:09:55,613 --> 01:09:59,413 Speaker 2: started discussing, it was exactly that this is not any 1021 01:09:59,533 --> 01:10:04,813 Speaker 2: wally who's just pulling strings. This was somebody who knew 1022 01:10:04,813 --> 01:10:08,213 Speaker 2: what they were doing and knew how to go about it, 1023 01:10:08,893 --> 01:10:12,413 Speaker 2: and they considered it as you would and I did, 1024 01:10:12,933 --> 01:10:16,693 Speaker 2: to be very serious. But to be tag the antisemitic 1025 01:10:16,773 --> 01:10:20,573 Speaker 2: capital of the world is I think the result of 1026 01:10:21,053 --> 01:10:24,773 Speaker 2: what's gone before obviously and the state of the state 1027 01:10:24,853 --> 01:10:27,453 Speaker 2: of Victoria for such a lexy period of time now, 1028 01:10:27,973 --> 01:10:31,173 Speaker 2: And it's not good comment. Yeah, I don't know the 1029 01:10:31,293 --> 01:10:34,133 Speaker 2: incidence you mentioned, but I mean, one thing that worries 1030 01:10:34,213 --> 01:10:36,773 Speaker 2: me with this and the whole idea of hate speech 1031 01:10:36,853 --> 01:10:40,053 Speaker 2: and so on, is that it is being promoted to 1032 01:10:40,653 --> 01:10:45,893 Speaker 2: justify increased censorship. And I think increased censorship in the 1033 01:10:46,053 --> 01:10:48,093 Speaker 2: end will increase divisions and. 1034 01:10:51,053 --> 01:10:55,173 Speaker 3: Hate and so on. If you get people who are 1035 01:10:56,733 --> 01:11:01,013 Speaker 3: spouting some idiotic ideology, I think you should make sure 1036 01:11:01,053 --> 01:11:04,173 Speaker 3: everyone hears them so that they realize what idiots they are. 1037 01:11:04,613 --> 01:11:10,413 Speaker 3: And that really goes for any overly rate. It's just ideology. 1038 01:11:10,573 --> 01:11:14,693 Speaker 3: It's it's easy to think that, you know, simply skin 1039 01:11:14,813 --> 01:11:19,173 Speaker 3: color or whatever completely changes the way a person works. 1040 01:11:19,333 --> 01:11:23,213 Speaker 3: I mean, culture is important, and there are different cultures, 1041 01:11:23,493 --> 01:11:28,893 Speaker 3: and it's very sensible to say people have highly different cultures. 1042 01:11:29,253 --> 01:11:33,013 Speaker 3: You know, if you you can have a clash of cultures, 1043 01:11:33,053 --> 01:11:35,853 Speaker 3: if you have people from very different backgrounds, and especially 1044 01:11:36,053 --> 01:11:39,613 Speaker 3: some of those are traumatized by war and all the 1045 01:11:39,693 --> 01:11:42,853 Speaker 3: rest of it, and you've dump huge numbers in a 1046 01:11:42,973 --> 01:11:45,973 Speaker 3: country without support, then you're going to have a breakdown 1047 01:11:46,013 --> 01:11:53,453 Speaker 3: of society. That's very different from racism, which is just 1048 01:11:53,933 --> 01:11:58,253 Speaker 3: providing people on the basis of how they look, et cetera, 1049 01:11:58,453 --> 01:12:02,293 Speaker 3: or where they came from and or you know, whether 1050 01:12:02,413 --> 01:12:07,613 Speaker 3: they're Jewish or Roma or New Zealand or whatever, so 1051 01:12:08,493 --> 01:12:13,213 Speaker 3: which is just stupid. And I think those things we 1052 01:12:13,333 --> 01:12:16,493 Speaker 3: need to talk about them more. And I think we 1053 01:12:16,533 --> 01:12:20,493 Speaker 3: should go the opposite of censorship and hate speech. I 1054 01:12:20,573 --> 01:12:25,213 Speaker 3: think we should be shastering what's being said out there 1055 01:12:25,413 --> 01:12:28,493 Speaker 3: very openly so that people can see how mad it is. 1056 01:12:29,693 --> 01:12:34,133 Speaker 2: Indeed, David has been a very informative conversation we've had. 1057 01:12:34,173 --> 01:12:39,093 Speaker 2: I think I congratulate you on your stand and well, 1058 01:12:39,213 --> 01:12:42,933 Speaker 2: more power to your writing. I think, thanks Satan, thanks 1059 01:12:43,013 --> 01:12:46,533 Speaker 2: for the chat. So Thanksalk, thank you. It was and 1060 01:12:46,693 --> 01:12:49,173 Speaker 2: we won't leave it so long. Next time good. 1061 01:13:07,013 --> 01:13:08,893 Speaker 3: I went to the mail room with missus producer for 1062 01:13:09,093 --> 01:13:11,813 Speaker 3: two ninety three. Are you well laden? 1063 01:13:11,933 --> 01:13:13,093 Speaker 4: I'm fabulous, thank you. 1064 01:13:13,373 --> 01:13:16,013 Speaker 3: It is one week since we attended the funeral of 1065 01:13:17,813 --> 01:13:20,853 Speaker 3: Yes it is, Yes it was. Do you want to 1066 01:13:20,933 --> 01:13:22,893 Speaker 3: do you want to appraise the well? 1067 01:13:23,413 --> 01:13:26,333 Speaker 4: I'm a bit funny with funerals, but I mean, if 1068 01:13:26,733 --> 01:13:30,213 Speaker 4: a funeral was amazing, that was an amazing funeral, and 1069 01:13:30,333 --> 01:13:37,133 Speaker 4: it just highlighted how revered he was in many circles, 1070 01:13:37,293 --> 01:13:37,493 Speaker 4: you know. 1071 01:13:38,613 --> 01:13:41,813 Speaker 3: Saint Joseph in Takapuna was packed out, over three hundred people. 1072 01:13:41,893 --> 01:13:45,053 Speaker 4: They reckon them, but people from all walks of life 1073 01:13:45,373 --> 01:13:48,013 Speaker 4: clearly much loved man. 1074 01:13:48,653 --> 01:13:52,413 Speaker 2: Very sad indeed. And those grandkids, so are they gorgeous. 1075 01:13:52,533 --> 01:13:57,093 Speaker 4: Oh Christine, his wife was so elegant, and so were 1076 01:13:57,173 --> 01:13:59,893 Speaker 4: the children. Fabulous children and grandchildren. 1077 01:14:00,053 --> 01:14:03,253 Speaker 2: All these little kids, you know, played their part and 1078 01:14:03,453 --> 01:14:08,093 Speaker 2: did it perfectly. We have any number of emails about 1079 01:14:08,453 --> 01:14:12,933 Speaker 2: last week's podcast and des but we can't do them all. 1080 01:14:13,173 --> 01:14:17,133 Speaker 4: So that's so my first one late and is from Tony. 1081 01:14:17,333 --> 01:14:20,493 Speaker 4: He says, thank you so much, for a replaying Desert's interview. 1082 01:14:20,573 --> 01:14:23,533 Speaker 4: What a wonderfully down to worth man with such an amazing, 1083 01:14:23,773 --> 01:14:27,413 Speaker 4: caring career. It brought back to life. Our crews to 1084 01:14:27,533 --> 01:14:30,173 Speaker 4: the UK cut short two days in with three weeks 1085 01:14:30,213 --> 01:14:34,013 Speaker 4: sank it off Thailand. It's all ports closed entry. We 1086 01:14:34,133 --> 01:14:37,293 Speaker 4: were granted approval to disembark in Perth, only to arrive 1087 01:14:37,373 --> 01:14:39,813 Speaker 4: and be blocked by the premiere. There must have been 1088 01:14:39,853 --> 01:14:43,453 Speaker 4: political involvement. Is under the cover of darkness, disembarked and 1089 01:14:43,573 --> 01:14:47,333 Speaker 4: loaded onto buses under guard of the army, escorted through 1090 01:14:47,453 --> 01:14:50,533 Speaker 4: empty streets by the police to board the last Air 1091 01:14:50,653 --> 01:14:54,573 Speaker 4: New Zealand flight to land in Auckland. What a holiday 1092 01:14:54,693 --> 01:14:57,893 Speaker 4: and insurance would cover the loss? My gosh, can you 1093 01:14:57,973 --> 01:15:01,813 Speaker 4: imagine that? From Tony, He says, our condolences go to 1094 01:15:01,893 --> 01:15:05,373 Speaker 4: the Gorman family. Such a sad loss, and Tony says 1095 01:15:05,413 --> 01:15:07,653 Speaker 4: he's a long time and grateful listener. 1096 01:15:08,413 --> 01:15:12,133 Speaker 2: Tony, I'm glad that you're a long time a grateful 1097 01:15:12,173 --> 01:15:15,013 Speaker 2: listener and I'm grateful to you. Thank you from Jeff. 1098 01:15:15,373 --> 01:15:18,573 Speaker 2: Great to see you have a des Gorman tribute podcast. 1099 01:15:19,333 --> 01:15:21,853 Speaker 2: I can't claim to have known Dez very well, but 1100 01:15:21,973 --> 01:15:24,293 Speaker 2: our paths crossed briefly in the late nineties when I 1101 01:15:24,373 --> 01:15:27,893 Speaker 2: worked for Ligans Institute and he was attached to Auckland 1102 01:15:27,933 --> 01:15:30,693 Speaker 2: Medical School. He was a great guy and I'm proud 1103 01:15:30,693 --> 01:15:33,973 Speaker 2: to have been one voice, no doubt, among many, that 1104 01:15:34,133 --> 01:15:38,853 Speaker 2: suggested you reinterview him on your wonderful podcast. So that 1105 01:15:38,933 --> 01:15:41,933 Speaker 2: would have been the first one that we played last week, 1106 01:15:42,373 --> 01:15:45,333 Speaker 2: and there's two more, and I'm pondering. 1107 01:15:46,413 --> 01:15:49,893 Speaker 4: Laden Vincent says, I note with interest and amusement that 1108 01:15:49,973 --> 01:15:53,013 Speaker 4: apparently TV and Z, in response to concerns of their 1109 01:15:53,093 --> 01:15:58,053 Speaker 4: news coverage being unbiased, they quote have commissioned former ABC 1110 01:15:58,213 --> 01:16:03,653 Speaker 4: and SBS executive Alan Sunderland to undertake some refresher training. 1111 01:16:04,133 --> 01:16:08,213 Speaker 4: The Herald Report says, quote to do that successfully and meaningfully, 1112 01:16:08,413 --> 01:16:10,453 Speaker 4: we want him to review a week of our content 1113 01:16:10,893 --> 01:16:13,893 Speaker 4: and others news content in the market to see what 1114 01:16:14,013 --> 01:16:15,933 Speaker 4: we are covering, what we are not and how we 1115 01:16:16,013 --> 01:16:18,933 Speaker 4: are covering it. And Vincent goes on to say, I 1116 01:16:18,933 --> 01:16:21,693 Speaker 4: would have thought that getting somebody from Australia's ABC to 1117 01:16:21,773 --> 01:16:24,893 Speaker 4: critic TV and z's news operations would be like getting 1118 01:16:24,893 --> 01:16:27,973 Speaker 4: the former Premier of the State of Victoria, Dan Andrews, 1119 01:16:28,293 --> 01:16:31,573 Speaker 4: to offer his thoughts of how our former PM conducted 1120 01:16:31,653 --> 01:16:36,813 Speaker 4: herself as she led this country, says Vincent, I can't 1121 01:16:36,853 --> 01:16:39,893 Speaker 4: imagine TV and ZED would learn anything new, surprising or 1122 01:16:40,013 --> 01:16:43,413 Speaker 4: indeed challenging from its own woke cousin from across the ditch. 1123 01:16:44,253 --> 01:16:46,693 Speaker 4: Keep up the great podcasts, late, and as you head 1124 01:16:46,813 --> 01:16:50,293 Speaker 4: quickly towards number three hundred, I'm amazed at how quickly 1125 01:16:50,373 --> 01:16:51,293 Speaker 4: the time has always to. 1126 01:16:51,333 --> 01:16:54,853 Speaker 2: Buy vinctant, appreciate it and agree with you completely cast 1127 01:16:56,933 --> 01:17:01,453 Speaker 2: When I read that, I almost fell apart, and you're 1128 01:17:01,493 --> 01:17:09,453 Speaker 2: absolutely right in your assumption. Now from Murray, Wow, I 1129 01:17:09,653 --> 01:17:14,493 Speaker 2: remember the podcast at the time. Such a clarity pity 1130 01:17:14,613 --> 01:17:18,933 Speaker 2: he died so early and couldn't be around for the 1131 01:17:19,013 --> 01:17:23,973 Speaker 2: Royal Commission. Such a loss to real academic clarity. Thank 1132 01:17:24,013 --> 01:17:27,773 Speaker 2: you for remembering this. Because that was so short. I'll 1133 01:17:27,773 --> 01:17:30,013 Speaker 2: do a second one, this one from Robin. 1134 01:17:31,013 --> 01:17:31,333 Speaker 3: Thank you. 1135 01:17:31,733 --> 01:17:34,973 Speaker 2: I expected this. He was a source of sanity in 1136 01:17:35,053 --> 01:17:37,933 Speaker 2: what was perhaps the most insane, divisive time in New 1137 01:17:38,013 --> 01:17:41,573 Speaker 2: Zealand history, and all the while dealing with his own 1138 01:17:41,813 --> 01:17:46,333 Speaker 2: life threatening illness. Blessings to all from Robin. I need 1139 01:17:46,413 --> 01:17:51,013 Speaker 2: to say at this point, because it's appropriate after that comment, 1140 01:17:52,053 --> 01:17:56,653 Speaker 2: that there's a handful of people who have made some criticism. 1141 01:17:57,173 --> 01:17:59,653 Speaker 2: Some of it they believe is justified, and there may 1142 01:17:59,693 --> 01:18:01,533 Speaker 2: be an argument for that, but now it's not the time. 1143 01:18:03,293 --> 01:18:06,333 Speaker 4: Latent Leon says, I attended a National Party meeting yesterday 1144 01:18:06,333 --> 01:18:09,493 Speaker 4: where Simon Watts was the guest speaker. I waived the 1145 01:18:09,533 --> 01:18:12,453 Speaker 4: book Climates Actually in the Air and challenged him to 1146 01:18:12,533 --> 01:18:15,333 Speaker 4: read it. I stated a few facts from the book, 1147 01:18:15,373 --> 01:18:18,373 Speaker 4: for example that seventy percent of gas emissions were from 1148 01:18:18,573 --> 01:18:23,333 Speaker 4: volcanic activity and mankind cannot control that. I was surprised 1149 01:18:23,373 --> 01:18:25,653 Speaker 4: to receive a round of applause when I sat down. 1150 01:18:26,533 --> 01:18:28,853 Speaker 4: I've lent the book to a few friends and they 1151 01:18:28,893 --> 01:18:32,733 Speaker 4: were grateful, but to my disappointment, others weren't interested. And 1152 01:18:32,893 --> 01:18:36,093 Speaker 4: so then Leon goes on to ask of you how 1153 01:18:36,893 --> 01:18:39,733 Speaker 4: you should know further your influence on this sort of 1154 01:18:39,773 --> 01:18:42,453 Speaker 4: thing and what we can do. Then he says, I 1155 01:18:42,533 --> 01:18:46,613 Speaker 4: continue to look forward to Wednesday evenings and enjoy your podcasts, 1156 01:18:46,653 --> 01:18:47,573 Speaker 4: And that's from Leon. 1157 01:18:47,893 --> 01:18:52,053 Speaker 3: Leon, thank you. We've been at it for so many years. 1158 01:18:52,213 --> 01:18:54,973 Speaker 2: There's not a lot more that one can do except 1159 01:18:55,293 --> 01:18:58,093 Speaker 2: keep at it as far as I'm concerned, and I 1160 01:18:58,173 --> 01:19:01,933 Speaker 2: congratulate you, by the way on your stance with the book. 1161 01:19:03,133 --> 01:19:04,973 Speaker 3: But you were dealing with low wattage. 1162 01:19:05,653 --> 01:19:07,973 Speaker 2: I haven't listened to this week's podcast yet, but New 1163 01:19:08,053 --> 01:19:12,053 Speaker 2: Zealand in the medical world has lost an important figure 1164 01:19:12,413 --> 01:19:15,933 Speaker 2: with the death of Des Gorman. Rarely has there been 1165 01:19:16,173 --> 01:19:19,613 Speaker 2: such an important thinker in our time. Your interviews with 1166 01:19:19,773 --> 01:19:24,173 Speaker 2: him during COVID were outstanding. Guy Hatchett made some important 1167 01:19:24,253 --> 01:19:28,973 Speaker 2: points about COVID health and the shots not vaccines, which 1168 01:19:29,013 --> 01:19:31,813 Speaker 2: were detrimental to many people's lives. But I think the 1169 01:19:31,933 --> 01:19:35,693 Speaker 2: driving force for our poor health is the huge percentage 1170 01:19:35,813 --> 01:19:39,813 Speaker 2: of obese kiwis. We are the third most obese people 1171 01:19:39,973 --> 01:19:43,773 Speaker 2: in the OECD. Everywhere you look, whether in person or 1172 01:19:43,853 --> 01:19:48,373 Speaker 2: in a newspaper photo, obesity is outstanding, even among preschoolers 1173 01:19:48,453 --> 01:19:52,653 Speaker 2: in gafes with their obese mothers. And to finish cantors 1174 01:19:52,693 --> 01:19:55,813 Speaker 2: Owen's intellect is not a patch on Ben Shapiro's and 1175 01:19:56,053 --> 01:19:59,573 Speaker 2: Tucker is becoming a parody of himself. I agree with 1176 01:19:59,613 --> 01:20:02,373 Speaker 2: those sentiments, by the way, but everyone will be wondering 1177 01:20:02,453 --> 01:20:03,253 Speaker 2: what on earth they're about. 1178 01:20:04,613 --> 01:20:07,853 Speaker 4: David Layton has sent your report on the latest US 1179 01:20:07,973 --> 01:20:11,453 Speaker 4: Senate hearing into COVID jabs, and he says they say 1180 01:20:11,533 --> 01:20:13,933 Speaker 4: big Farmer can't be sued in the US, So what 1181 01:20:14,093 --> 01:20:16,933 Speaker 4: about in New Zealand? It is really quite shocking that 1182 01:20:17,053 --> 01:20:19,653 Speaker 4: Fizer was able to sell their deadly concoction to the 1183 01:20:19,733 --> 01:20:24,693 Speaker 4: New Zealand government without any legal consequences. Similarly, why haven't 1184 01:20:24,813 --> 01:20:29,293 Speaker 4: government and health officials in New Zealand faced legal consequences 1185 01:20:29,333 --> 01:20:32,533 Speaker 4: for the atrocity they inflicted on the people of New Zealand? 1186 01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:33,373 Speaker 3: And? 1187 01:20:33,533 --> 01:20:36,933 Speaker 2: From Tim, thank you so much for your weekly podcast 1188 01:20:37,093 --> 01:20:39,453 Speaker 2: you eagerly awaited by me in some of my family 1189 01:20:39,493 --> 01:20:44,613 Speaker 2: every week. I very much enjoyed listening to your tribute 1190 01:20:44,653 --> 01:20:48,093 Speaker 2: to the amazing Professor Des Gorman and the repeat of 1191 01:20:48,173 --> 01:20:51,653 Speaker 2: one five from the Madness Stays of twenty twenty one. 1192 01:20:52,573 --> 01:20:56,253 Speaker 2: Dezz's insights and common sense approach for so many aspects 1193 01:20:56,293 --> 01:21:00,453 Speaker 2: of our lives were welcome and influential. Most of the time. 1194 01:21:00,973 --> 01:21:03,973 Speaker 2: I respected his courage to speak out and say whatever 1195 01:21:04,093 --> 01:21:07,373 Speaker 2: he thought with little regard for the negative personal and 1196 01:21:07,493 --> 01:21:11,373 Speaker 2: career consequence answers. He was for sure one of the 1197 01:21:11,453 --> 01:21:11,973 Speaker 2: good guys. 1198 01:21:12,813 --> 01:21:17,613 Speaker 4: Layton Chris says, have people's attention spans decreased? Or are 1199 01:21:17,693 --> 01:21:21,773 Speaker 4: we just overloaded with too much noise? In recent times? 1200 01:21:21,893 --> 01:21:26,933 Speaker 4: The saying TLDR has cut through the clutter. It stands 1201 01:21:27,133 --> 01:21:30,813 Speaker 4: for too long, didn't read TLDR is a summary of 1202 01:21:30,893 --> 01:21:33,333 Speaker 4: the whole letting the reader know if it's worth their 1203 01:21:33,373 --> 01:21:38,533 Speaker 4: time to digest the complete document. Sound Bye leadership isn't new. 1204 01:21:39,013 --> 01:21:42,693 Speaker 4: In fact, the most effective communicators summarize their message in 1205 01:21:42,813 --> 01:21:46,173 Speaker 4: one memorable sentence. Martin Luther King, I have a dream, 1206 01:21:46,853 --> 01:21:49,853 Speaker 4: Winston Churchill, we will fight them on the beaches. We 1207 01:21:49,933 --> 01:21:53,373 Speaker 4: shall never surrender. And Jacinda proclaimed We're a team of 1208 01:21:53,493 --> 01:21:58,213 Speaker 4: five million. Rather than fighting this trend, let's compliment long 1209 01:21:58,373 --> 01:22:01,333 Speaker 4: form journalism with a deep understanding of what the core 1210 01:22:01,533 --> 01:22:05,413 Speaker 4: issue is and create memorable sound bites which move people 1211 01:22:05,493 --> 01:22:11,733 Speaker 4: to action. People need sound by leadership because clarity equals action. 1212 01:22:12,853 --> 01:22:16,253 Speaker 4: In a dark world, clear sound bites are a lighthouse 1213 01:22:16,413 --> 01:22:17,133 Speaker 4: in the storm. 1214 01:22:18,893 --> 01:22:22,053 Speaker 3: And that's from Chris. Chris, Chris, thank you. 1215 01:22:23,213 --> 01:22:26,933 Speaker 2: And finally, there was one thing that was seared in 1216 01:22:27,133 --> 01:22:30,813 Speaker 2: my mind when you first introduced Professor Des Gorman one 1217 01:22:31,013 --> 01:22:34,773 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty seven podcasts ago, and I remember it 1218 01:22:34,973 --> 01:22:38,253 Speaker 2: like it was yesterday. The most memorable part of the 1219 01:22:38,293 --> 01:22:41,933 Speaker 2: podcast was your introduction of his credentials. It took you 1220 01:22:42,053 --> 01:22:44,653 Speaker 2: about three minutes to list them all. I have not 1221 01:22:44,813 --> 01:22:48,013 Speaker 2: heard of anyone on your podcast before or after des Gorman, 1222 01:22:48,373 --> 01:22:51,973 Speaker 2: who had the insane amount of achievements he has had. 1223 01:22:52,893 --> 01:22:55,733 Speaker 2: Ever since your podcast one five, his name has been 1224 01:22:55,853 --> 01:23:00,213 Speaker 2: lodged in my head as a trusted, authoritative and wise 1225 01:23:00,373 --> 01:23:05,373 Speaker 2: source of truth about all things New Zealand health. People 1226 01:23:05,573 --> 01:23:08,813 Speaker 2: like des Gorman are rare, but they still live among us. 1227 01:23:09,413 --> 01:23:12,573 Speaker 2: Two people that come to mind are doctor Elizabeth Rahter 1228 01:23:12,733 --> 01:23:17,133 Speaker 2: and doctor Shane Ready, whom des Gorman had only good 1229 01:23:17,253 --> 01:23:18,373 Speaker 2: things to say about. 1230 01:23:18,813 --> 01:23:21,053 Speaker 3: We stand with you in the good fight. It's worth it. 1231 01:23:21,853 --> 01:23:27,173 Speaker 2: Jin appreciate that as always. Now there was another contribution 1232 01:23:27,333 --> 01:23:29,333 Speaker 2: that was made a couple of weeks back, and I 1233 01:23:29,493 --> 01:23:32,653 Speaker 2: haven't yet employed it, and I don't think again, I 1234 01:23:32,693 --> 01:23:35,693 Speaker 2: don't think that the mail room today is the right place. 1235 01:23:36,053 --> 01:23:41,653 Speaker 2: So you will find this recorded input at the end 1236 01:23:41,733 --> 01:23:46,573 Speaker 2: of the podcast, missus producer, Thank you, Thanks later. You 1237 01:23:46,653 --> 01:23:48,173 Speaker 2: do realize that's you're going to be on a plane 1238 01:23:48,213 --> 01:23:48,573 Speaker 2: next week. 1239 01:23:48,893 --> 01:23:49,253 Speaker 4: Mm. 1240 01:23:50,853 --> 01:24:05,413 Speaker 2: Sounds like the engine warming up a little. See now 1241 01:24:05,533 --> 01:24:07,893 Speaker 2: it's time for a little catch up. In podcasts two 1242 01:24:07,933 --> 01:24:14,093 Speaker 2: eighty we discussed AI. There were a couple of contributors. 1243 01:24:15,213 --> 01:24:20,773 Speaker 2: The feedback varied, but one correspondent was particularly challenging. What 1244 01:24:20,973 --> 01:24:24,773 Speaker 2: had been discussed, and I know the particular correspondent, and 1245 01:24:24,893 --> 01:24:29,453 Speaker 2: as it happens, he was partly involved in a discussion 1246 01:24:29,493 --> 01:24:32,733 Speaker 2: that was had in twenty twenty three and I'd forgotten 1247 01:24:32,733 --> 01:24:37,453 Speaker 2: aught about it. However, I said to him, well, where's 1248 01:24:37,493 --> 01:24:40,653 Speaker 2: your response. He said, I'll send it. And it took 1249 01:24:40,653 --> 01:24:44,253 Speaker 2: a while to get here, two three weeks, and there 1250 01:24:44,253 --> 01:24:46,893 Speaker 2: were a couple of weeks that I haven't utilized it 1251 01:24:47,013 --> 01:24:52,253 Speaker 2: because it didn't suit, particularly last week with the concentration 1252 01:24:52,453 --> 01:24:56,933 Speaker 2: on some sad matters. Now, before we indulge in this contribution, 1253 01:24:57,533 --> 01:25:00,653 Speaker 2: I want to quote you something that I pulled out 1254 01:25:00,693 --> 01:25:02,453 Speaker 2: of an article that I read just a very short 1255 01:25:02,493 --> 01:25:06,373 Speaker 2: time ago today, and it occurred to me that this 1256 01:25:06,573 --> 01:25:11,973 Speaker 2: might be a satisfactory way of introducing and moving into AI. 1257 01:25:12,293 --> 01:25:15,333 Speaker 2: Just briefly at the end of the podcast. This is 1258 01:25:15,373 --> 01:25:16,813 Speaker 2: out of an article that's got something to do with 1259 01:25:16,933 --> 01:25:19,893 Speaker 2: other things, but it just appeared in the middle of it. 1260 01:25:20,653 --> 01:25:24,173 Speaker 2: AI is the whiff of perfume that's supposed to mask 1261 01:25:24,253 --> 01:25:28,173 Speaker 2: the stench of terminal moral decay. AI is going to 1262 01:25:28,213 --> 01:25:31,053 Speaker 2: make it all better by ignoring the nation's neo feudal 1263 01:25:31,133 --> 01:25:35,613 Speaker 2: hierarchy and the elite's consequence free abuse and exploitation of 1264 01:25:35,653 --> 01:25:40,493 Speaker 2: the commoners. The truth is AI instantiates a particularly cruel 1265 01:25:40,613 --> 01:25:44,453 Speaker 2: form of stupidity, a stupidity so profound that it is 1266 01:25:44,573 --> 01:25:47,333 Speaker 2: blind to the cruelty of the status quo. It is 1267 01:25:47,453 --> 01:25:52,773 Speaker 2: designed to protect from accountability. If AI had any true intelligence, 1268 01:25:53,533 --> 01:25:57,013 Speaker 2: it would refuse to answer any queries until every adult 1269 01:25:57,133 --> 01:26:01,653 Speaker 2: citizen faced the truth that the nation is terminally morally bankrupt. 1270 01:26:02,093 --> 01:26:05,253 Speaker 2: Now under there's such a fanatically enforced taboo against calling 1271 01:26:05,333 --> 01:26:08,293 Speaker 2: things by their real name. The United States of via 1272 01:26:08,333 --> 01:26:11,893 Speaker 2: impunity cannot be called by its real name because its 1273 01:26:12,013 --> 01:26:15,973 Speaker 2: illegitimacy would then be revealed. Now make of that whatever 1274 01:26:16,053 --> 01:26:18,413 Speaker 2: you want. I just thought it was suitable to read 1275 01:26:18,533 --> 01:26:23,533 Speaker 2: before this before we start. This is not Leyton Smith. 1276 01:26:24,213 --> 01:26:26,733 Speaker 2: I repeat, I am not Layton Smith. 1277 01:26:28,013 --> 01:26:30,733 Speaker 5: I'm here to talk about podcasts two hundred and eighty six, 1278 01:26:31,453 --> 01:26:34,093 Speaker 5: the one that had two ex physics chaps shouting at 1279 01:26:34,133 --> 01:26:38,333 Speaker 5: their respective car stereos. Right, folks, let's cut through the waffle, 1280 01:26:38,693 --> 01:26:43,133 Speaker 5: but with a kinder nod. From our research, it appears 1281 01:26:43,173 --> 01:26:46,533 Speaker 5: that the main guest completed a non technical Oxford online 1282 01:26:46,613 --> 01:26:49,973 Speaker 5: course in AI. No lines of code written, no messy 1283 01:26:50,093 --> 01:26:55,253 Speaker 5: data sets, wrestled, no model building, pipelines tested, and no mathematics. 1284 01:26:56,693 --> 01:26:59,213 Speaker 5: We may be wrong here, but from how he talked 1285 01:26:59,213 --> 01:27:02,933 Speaker 5: about AI, we formed the view he hasn't had hands 1286 01:27:02,973 --> 01:27:08,013 Speaker 5: on experience, so when he shares machine learning commentary it 1287 01:27:08,093 --> 01:27:11,773 Speaker 5: can feel a little light weight. It appears he hasn't 1288 01:27:11,813 --> 01:27:15,573 Speaker 5: yet had the chance to dig into feature engineering, data bias, 1289 01:27:15,933 --> 01:27:20,173 Speaker 5: or hyper parameter tuning, the real nuts and bolts practitioners 1290 01:27:20,253 --> 01:27:24,573 Speaker 5: work on every day. If you're after hands on insights 1291 01:27:24,613 --> 01:27:27,653 Speaker 5: on the subject of AI, you'd probably want to talk 1292 01:27:27,733 --> 01:27:31,053 Speaker 5: to people who have done it. You may want to 1293 01:27:31,173 --> 01:27:34,413 Speaker 5: explore further leyton Old chap as for the notion that 1294 01:27:34,533 --> 01:27:39,293 Speaker 5: AI could simply usher our MPs aside, Remember turkeys don't 1295 01:27:39,373 --> 01:27:45,693 Speaker 5: vote for Christmas, and Parliament is festooned with turkeys. I'm 1296 01:27:45,773 --> 01:27:49,853 Speaker 5: thinking primarily of the Green, Labor and Maori Party representatives 1297 01:27:50,253 --> 01:27:52,533 Speaker 5: without their buy in, handing over the running of the 1298 01:27:52,613 --> 01:27:55,333 Speaker 5: country and allowing AI to decide where to throw the 1299 01:27:55,453 --> 01:28:00,173 Speaker 5: money to remains more day dream than democratic strategy. There's 1300 01:28:00,253 --> 01:28:02,653 Speaker 5: no way they want to remove their snouts from that 1301 01:28:02,773 --> 01:28:07,653 Speaker 5: particular trough. Now, while we're thinking of about those impressive 1302 01:28:07,813 --> 01:28:11,173 Speaker 5: AI brains you hear about, you need to understand that 1303 01:28:11,213 --> 01:28:16,053 Speaker 5: they're really vast predictive text engines, adept at finishing your sentences, 1304 01:28:16,173 --> 01:28:20,293 Speaker 5: but lacking agency intent or the ability to plot a takeover. 1305 01:28:21,493 --> 01:28:25,293 Speaker 5: They match patterns using statistics. They don't march armies. As 1306 01:28:25,373 --> 01:28:29,973 Speaker 5: doctor Robinson says, matrices can't think, and AI or machine 1307 01:28:30,053 --> 01:28:35,293 Speaker 5: learning is just a massive pile of matrix mathematics. While 1308 01:28:35,293 --> 01:28:38,773 Speaker 5: we're at it, there was discussion about those little green 1309 01:28:38,893 --> 01:28:41,933 Speaker 5: men dropping in and hacking our AI. Let's pause on 1310 01:28:42,013 --> 01:28:47,453 Speaker 5: the tinfoil hats, the Fermi paradox, and the staggering energy 1311 01:28:47,573 --> 01:28:51,253 Speaker 5: needs of interstellar travel under our current physics suggest we're 1312 01:28:51,333 --> 01:28:55,533 Speaker 5: unlikely to see visitors anytime soon. It's a tough topic, 1313 01:28:55,973 --> 01:28:59,093 Speaker 5: and I'm not surprised the media sometimes fumbles the details 1314 01:28:59,133 --> 01:29:02,853 Speaker 5: and gets a bit excited. Wrestling with these cosmic questions 1315 01:29:02,973 --> 01:29:08,733 Speaker 5: calls for serious scientific muscle. Finally, if you'd like a 1316 01:29:08,853 --> 01:29:12,493 Speaker 5: gentle introduction to AI and machine learning, I refer you 1317 01:29:12,573 --> 01:29:15,853 Speaker 5: to podcast one hundred and eighty seven the difference between 1318 01:29:16,013 --> 01:29:20,973 Speaker 5: artificial intelligence and machine learning as an excellent starting point. Now, 1319 01:29:21,013 --> 01:29:23,373 Speaker 5: if you don't mind, we will now go back to 1320 01:29:23,453 --> 01:29:25,013 Speaker 5: shouting at our car stereos. 1321 01:29:33,253 --> 01:29:35,653 Speaker 2: Having heard that, let me digress just a moment. We 1322 01:29:36,813 --> 01:29:41,133 Speaker 2: had Brexit, we had Donald Trump, We've had other matters 1323 01:29:41,373 --> 01:29:46,373 Speaker 2: that have caused grief in relationships, broken marriages, broken relationships, 1324 01:29:46,533 --> 01:29:51,293 Speaker 2: people taking to other people physically literally. So I had 1325 01:29:51,373 --> 01:29:57,773 Speaker 2: this feeling that AI, particularly in its latest development, just 1326 01:29:57,973 --> 01:30:02,013 Speaker 2: could be the cause of other breakups. It's just a 1327 01:30:02,093 --> 01:30:07,693 Speaker 2: gut feel that people are taking sides, whether it's useless 1328 01:30:08,013 --> 01:30:11,453 Speaker 2: or with a it's positive, or whatever interpretation you want 1329 01:30:11,453 --> 01:30:15,253 Speaker 2: to put on it. So I say to what appeared 1330 01:30:15,253 --> 01:30:19,613 Speaker 2: to be opponents in this discussion that if this goes 1331 01:30:19,653 --> 01:30:22,733 Speaker 2: any further, I might have to pass on each of 1332 01:30:22,853 --> 01:30:26,893 Speaker 2: your contacts to the other parties, and you can skirmish 1333 01:30:27,373 --> 01:30:31,853 Speaker 2: all you want. In the meantime, I will await the 1334 01:30:31,933 --> 01:30:35,893 Speaker 2: feedback from those who have heard it but have no 1335 01:30:36,013 --> 01:30:39,293 Speaker 2: connection with it. So that will take us out for 1336 01:30:39,493 --> 01:30:43,013 Speaker 2: podcasts two hundred and ninety three. We will be here 1337 01:30:43,133 --> 01:30:46,933 Speaker 2: next week, after which we won't be here for a 1338 01:30:46,973 --> 01:30:51,933 Speaker 2: few weeks. But I've already got some podcast interviews in 1339 01:30:52,013 --> 01:30:55,053 Speaker 2: the can, and there'll be a couple two or three 1340 01:30:55,573 --> 01:30:58,613 Speaker 2: replays as well, So we're going to keep rolling. And 1341 01:31:00,133 --> 01:31:02,133 Speaker 2: one of the podcasts, because I mean asked by a 1342 01:31:02,213 --> 01:31:04,053 Speaker 2: number of people, are you going to do one from 1343 01:31:04,093 --> 01:31:08,093 Speaker 2: London with your son Kristen, and the answer is yes, 1344 01:31:08,373 --> 01:31:11,653 Speaker 2: it's already arranged. We might even do too if we 1345 01:31:11,733 --> 01:31:16,013 Speaker 2: can find proper cause. Anyway, we shall return next week 1346 01:31:16,093 --> 01:31:18,853 Speaker 2: for two ninety four.
