Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. It's Friday the thirtieth and May twenty twenty five,
- 0:11Speaker 1: just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Colin News. I'm
- 0:14Speaker 1: your host Mike Rumson joining me in the studio today
- 0:16Speaker 1: Patrick Kennison, Welcome to the program. Patrick, great to be
- 0:19Speaker 1: with you, Mike, And by video link we have Mark
- 0:21Speaker 1: Anderson I letter in the program. Patrick's going to be
- 0:23Speaker 1: covering Gaza and the Trump crackdown on visas against anyone
- 0:27Speaker 1: criticizing Israel. Mark, for his part, is going to be
- 0:30Speaker 1: reporting on a documentary about vaccine injured called Silenced, and
- 0:34Speaker 1: rfk's announcement on COVID jabs. We're going to begin today
- 0:38Speaker 1: with the kill Web. At now the UK Secretary of
- 0:43Speaker 1: State for War here John Healy, has announced the kill
- 0:47Speaker 1: web and well, what do we think about that. It's
- 0:53Speaker 1: part of the Strategic Defense Review twenty twenty five, which
- 0:56Speaker 1: is about to be launched in a couple of weeks time,
- 0:58Speaker 1: having already been announced by Starmar in July last year,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and he said that that was to consider the threats
- 1:07Speaker 1: Britain faces, the capabilities needed to meet them, the state
- 1:11Speaker 1: of the UK Armed forces and the resources available. So
- 1:15Speaker 1: but this defense review is different. These are normally run
- 1:18Speaker 1: by the government, but this time it's being led by
- 1:21Speaker 1: Lord Robertson. And while he was once a Labor Defense Secretary,
- 1:27Speaker 1: he was also once Secretary General for NATO, and so
- 1:31Speaker 1: he's considered, although Labor, an outsider, nonetheless and perhaps perfectly
- 1:36Speaker 1: aligned with the NATO agenda. Patrick, but look, the kill
- 1:40Speaker 1: web is going to cost the British taxpayer one billion pounds.
- 1:46Speaker 1: They don't call it a kill web, of course, the
- 1:48Speaker 1: British government doesn't. They use the softer signing Digital Targeting Web.
- 1:53Speaker 1: That's the term they use, and they say will enable
- 1:56Speaker 1: quick fire targeting of enemy assets, including through offensive side operations.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Now kill Web is going to be based at a
- 2:03Speaker 1: new Cyber and Electromagnetic Command which they are establishing at
- 2:08Speaker 1: the same time, and this is going to lead defensive
- 2:11Speaker 1: cyber operations and coordinate, coordinate offensive offensive cyber operations with
- 2:17Speaker 1: the National Cyber Force. So we are going to war
- 2:22Speaker 1: in that sense without Dodd. Healy says that ways of
- 2:26Speaker 1: warfare are rapidly changing, with the UK facing with the
- 2:31Speaker 1: UK facing daily cyber attacks on this new front line,
- 2:36Speaker 1: and according to the Ministry Defense, more than ninety thousand
- 2:38Speaker 1: sub threshold attacks were recorded in the last two years.
- 2:41Speaker 1: No evidence for the statistic was provided. Naturally, heally described
- 2:46Speaker 1: Britain as a country under attack, increasing attacks, and this
- 2:51Speaker 1: is the nerve center of the UK's military that helps
- 2:53Speaker 1: us defend against these attacks. The keyboard has become a
- 2:57Speaker 1: weapon of war. Let's just put that on screen. So
- 3:00Speaker 1: ways of warfare rapidly changing, with the UK facing daily
- 3:03Speaker 1: cyber attaxes to say, but the keyboard has become the
- 3:07Speaker 1: weapon of war. That's great news, isn't it. The command,
- 3:10Speaker 1: the Cyber Command will be this new group will be
- 3:14Speaker 1: headed by General Sir James Hockenhall, who succeeded General Sir
- 3:18Speaker 1: Patrick Sanders as the Commander of UK Strategy Command in
- 3:22Speaker 1: May twenty twenty two, and he also serves as Aid
- 3:24Speaker 1: de camp general to the Monarch, so currently King Charles,
- 3:28Speaker 1: but previously Queen Elizabeth as well. He's been doing that
- 3:31Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two. So the question is what is
- 3:35Speaker 1: Kilwebb well. The idea originated with DARPA and Admiral William
- 3:43Speaker 1: Owens wrote a paper about a system of systems. He
- 3:46Speaker 1: was talking about integrating command and control the intelligence from centers,
- 3:50Speaker 1: sensor sorry and weapons together, and he was talking about
- 3:54Speaker 1: this in the mid nineteen nineties, but sorry, by nineteen
- 3:57Speaker 1: ninety eight, Vice Admiral Arthur h took the next step
- 4:02Speaker 1: and wrote a paper that explained how the link system together,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and he invented the term network centric warfare. Then in
- 4:09Speaker 1: March we'll come forward to March twenty twenty three. Here
- 4:12Speaker 1: with this report. This is the US Naval Institute publishing
- 4:16Speaker 1: an article with the headline enter the Kill Web, a
- 4:20Speaker 1: concept for drone warfare, and they say the potential applications
- 4:24Speaker 1: of loitering munitions, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and semi autonomy
- 4:30Speaker 1: in a battlefield setting are extensive. Now, if you don't
- 4:33Speaker 1: know what loitering munitions are, another term for that is
- 4:36Speaker 1: kamakazi drones. So this article goes on the explain that
- 4:41Speaker 1: kamakazi drones are launched with an explosive payload, they circle
- 4:45Speaker 1: the battlefield, they identify a target, and then they fly
- 4:48Speaker 1: into that target and detonate on impact. In the future,
- 4:52Speaker 1: command and control of these types of weapons, which is
- 4:56Speaker 1: typically managed by a soldier on the ground, is going
- 4:58Speaker 1: to expand to me or high altitude, long endurance drones
- 5:02Speaker 1: as well. So what we're saying here is a destination,
- 5:07Speaker 1: and that destination is autonomous AI controlled weapon systems. As
- 5:11Speaker 1: Laura Nolan is pointing out in this article that she
- 5:14Speaker 1: on our blog and medium, this is patrick. This is
- 5:18Speaker 1: extremely dangerous once we start seeing either remotely controlled or
- 5:22Speaker 1: autonomous drone swarms that anybody's a target and these are
- 5:28Speaker 1: very hard to deal with, very hard to defend.
- 5:30Speaker 2: An AI driven autonomous swarm of drones Mike can be
- 5:34Speaker 2: deployed to, let's say, decapitate a government, surround government buildings,
- 5:39Speaker 2: kill presidents and prime ministers. We already have our governments
- 5:42Speaker 2: involved in a lot of these activities anyway by other means.
- 5:46Speaker 2: So this just gives them another tool for disruption, hit
- 5:50Speaker 2: and run attacks, assassinations, or what they call decapitation strikes. Now,
- 5:54Speaker 2: what's the response going to be from another power? This
- 5:57Speaker 2: seems to me, if I'm not mistaken, this is all
- 6:00Speaker 2: gated towards state actors, right, Yes, so this is targeting
- 6:03Speaker 2: Russia basically. So is this the policy? Because below the
- 6:07Speaker 2: military rhetoric there is political beliefs and political policies. So
- 6:12Speaker 2: is the policy permanent war? We must destroy Russia, We
- 6:15Speaker 2: must have regime change in Russia. We must break up
- 6:19Speaker 2: Russia into ten different countries? Is are we married to
- 6:22Speaker 2: that policy? Because I don't know anybody that actually voted
- 6:25Speaker 2: on that, and I don't know anybody that I've met
- 6:28Speaker 2: that wants that. They don't want to be in a
- 6:30Speaker 2: constant state of war. But who wants to be in
- 6:33Speaker 2: a constant state of war?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Well, they wants to be in a constant And the
- 6:37Speaker 1: companies involved involved in these products and producing these products,
- 6:41Speaker 1: the AI companies want to be certainly.
- 6:43Speaker 2: So imagine what we could do together between Britain, Europe, Russia,
- 6:47Speaker 2: China for humanity. There's no limit to the potential. But
- 6:51Speaker 2: imagine what would happen if these types of plants are
- 6:54Speaker 2: allowed to continue going forward? They're going to end in
- 6:57Speaker 2: tears because rather than be subject to this type of
- 7:01Speaker 2: loitering and decapitation strikes, what's a country like Russia bound
- 7:05Speaker 2: to do? Maybe they should spend as much money on
- 7:08Speaker 2: defending against erashnic missiles because that's where they're pushing things
- 7:13Speaker 2: to an all out confrontation between nuclear powers.
- 7:16Speaker 1: This is no joke, no and deed, and there is
- 7:19Speaker 1: no defense for erosnic missiles at this point, and they
- 7:23Speaker 1: can be armed with tactical nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons.
- 7:26Speaker 2: It'd be one thing, Mike and I don't want to
- 7:28Speaker 2: be label this point, it'd be one thing to have
- 7:30Speaker 2: this conversation. Look at this development while there's diplomacy going
- 7:34Speaker 2: on on parallel tracks just to put us the public
- 7:37Speaker 2: at ease. But there's no diplomacy, there's only talk more war.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Right, extremely dangerous. Well, look, let's move on to Gaza
- 7:45Speaker 1: and Patrick. The atrocities there just seem to get worse
- 7:48Speaker 1: as the starvation begins to really bite.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to show you a video clip. I mean,
- 7:53Speaker 2: there's just so much shocking material. We are only, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 2: showing you a very small sample of this. But go
- 8:00Speaker 2: and watch the scene right now in Gaza. So for
- 8:26Speaker 2: people who don't know what happened there, So Israel basically
- 8:29Speaker 2: struck people who were put into place Palestinians. It looks
- 8:33Speaker 2: like probably from the World Food Programmer un or something,
- 8:36Speaker 2: who are guarding the aid so that could be distributed.
- 8:38Speaker 1: They killed them. Basically.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Now you have mercenaries firing on the crowds, the idea
- 8:44Speaker 2: of firing on hungree crowds, that's what's going on. They're
- 8:47Speaker 2: shooting people are dying. Let's bring this up on screen here.
- 8:51Speaker 2: This is the story US Israeli GAZ a humanitarian scam.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I can't think of a better word to call this,
- 8:58Speaker 2: because that's exactly what it is. And we're going to
- 9:01Speaker 2: lay out to you how exactly this scam has unfolded.
- 9:04Speaker 2: And this is the company here or the foundation, the charity,
- 9:07Speaker 2: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. We're going to dig into that
- 9:10Speaker 2: organization and take a look at it. But so funny enough,
- 9:14Speaker 2: the CEO of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation resigned just a
- 9:18Speaker 2: few days ago, the head of this controversial organization here. Basically,
- 9:23Speaker 2: this is a quote from Jake Wood, the former CEO.
- 9:26Speaker 2: The foundation could not adhere to the humanitarian principles of humanity,
- 9:30Speaker 2: neutrality and partiality and independence, which I will not abandoned.
- 9:36Speaker 1: What we got a bit of integrity here, did we Well?
- 9:38Speaker 2: If this is a former Special Forces US for Special Force,
- 9:42Speaker 2: I believe it was a sniper in Special Forces, So
- 9:45Speaker 2: you know, he seems like he wants to do the
- 9:47Speaker 2: right thing. It comes from the military side. I think,
- 9:50Speaker 2: you know, when some people like this are jumping ship mic,
- 9:52Speaker 2: it's not a good sign. And so we'll go on
- 9:55Speaker 2: and take a look at this organization here. This is
- 9:58Speaker 2: the organization, and you know, it all looks good on
- 10:01Speaker 2: the surface, doesn't it. But let's take a look at
- 10:03Speaker 2: who's involved. Look at this on the board leadership and governance.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Nate Mook, former CEO of the World Central Kitchen. Now
- 10:11Speaker 2: that's a familiar name, isn't it. You remember that peer
- 10:14Speaker 2: that the US military built.
- 10:16Speaker 1: The one that floated away in the storm, made.
- 10:19Speaker 2: That one, the one that cost half a billion dollars. Yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 2: he was a CEO of World Central Kitchen. It was
- 10:24Speaker 2: using that to deliver these ready made meals that people
- 10:27Speaker 2: in Palestine don't actually need ready made meals. They actually
- 10:30Speaker 2: have AID and they have kitchen set up with UNRA.
- 10:34Speaker 2: We'll show that in a moment there. And there's a
- 10:36Speaker 2: few other characters in there that are interesting. We'll take
- 10:39Speaker 2: a look at who exactly they are. And let's take
- 10:42Speaker 2: a look at the organization here. And so here is
- 10:44Speaker 2: Nate Mook. So this guy is an operative that just
- 10:48Speaker 2: bounces from one bad show to another. So he's in
- 10:52Speaker 2: charge of this Chairman of the board. Jake Wood looks
- 10:55Speaker 2: like has some integrity, has resigned, Probably the right thing
- 10:58Speaker 2: to do. John Burke for a former COO. He's gone,
- 11:03Speaker 2: so who's taking over it. There's the interim CEO, Mike.
- 11:06Speaker 2: It is John Acre, former senior manager at us AI
- 11:11Speaker 2: d a notorious CIA front. So again adding to the
- 11:15Speaker 2: spooks there, and then you've got David Pepassion. There is
- 11:19Speaker 2: the founder. Now this is controversial in Switzerland. The Swiss
- 11:23Speaker 2: authorities are now basically exerting oversight over Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,
- 11:29Speaker 2: which is founded and listed in Switzerland. They've now come
- 11:33Speaker 2: into legal trouble there. This whole thing is falling apart.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Let's take a look at that as well. Now this
- 11:39Speaker 2: is the security company attached to this, Safe Reach Solutions.
- 11:44Speaker 2: There's Philip Riley. What's his background. Well let's take a look,
- 11:48Speaker 2: oh career CIA. Okay, so more spooks. Is this looking
- 11:52Speaker 2: suspicious to you? It certainly is to me, Mike, And
- 11:55Speaker 2: so we'll go on here. We've got a video we're
- 11:58Speaker 2: going to show you. Now this is pretty shocking. So
- 12:01Speaker 2: people are basically trying to get around to the barricades
- 12:06Speaker 2: where they have the food stored, and these mercenaries and
- 12:09Speaker 2: Israeli soldiers inside are doing incredible things like chucking grenades
- 12:14Speaker 2: into the crowd. Watch this, you come back, you come back?
- 13:05Speaker 1: Were those stunn granades because you know, obviously people weren't
- 13:09Speaker 1: being killed directly by the grenades, but the natural reaction
- 13:13Speaker 1: for people is going to stomp paid, right.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And so those are stone grenades. Now, those
- 13:17Speaker 2: are the type of things you remember reported on the
- 13:18Speaker 2: Yellow vests in France. They were taking off hands and
- 13:21Speaker 2: people losing eyes. Those are grenades, so they're just throwing
- 13:24Speaker 2: them into the crowd. These are people that have been
- 13:26Speaker 2: intentionally starved by the Israelis, by the Americans. They're begging
- 13:30Speaker 2: for food. Some people haven't eaten in days or had
- 13:33Speaker 2: a substantial meal in months, and these people are basically
- 13:36Speaker 2: throwing grenades at the hungry people. Insane. But this is
- 13:40Speaker 2: the whole scam of the Gazer Humanitarian relief operation. Here, now,
- 13:44Speaker 2: this is a great report and I'm going to point
- 13:46Speaker 2: people to this here. Biometrics for food A dangerous shift
- 13:50Speaker 2: from humanitarian relief to coercive surveillance. Now, this is the
- 13:54Speaker 2: safe and secure solutions that we showed you run by
- 13:58Speaker 2: the spook o'reiley and is the report is a damning
- 14:04Speaker 2: report by Skyline International Human Rights. The use of biometric
- 14:07Speaker 2: surveillance as a condition for receiving food and humanitarian aid.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Is a blatant violation of the Palestine's right to privacy,
- 14:14Speaker 2: fundamental human rights guaranteed under international law. Why the israelis
- 14:18Speaker 2: doing this? Why the American students, They say, it's to
- 14:21Speaker 2: prevent Hamas from getting food, So again, using the Hamas
- 14:25Speaker 2: card to impose what is clearly quite an incredible system
- 14:30Speaker 2: of data gathering and so forth. Here and they go on,
- 14:34Speaker 2: just finally, rather than alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,
- 14:38Speaker 2: this plan institutionalizes surveillance and control over aid access, using
- 14:44Speaker 2: rations as a means of enforcing compliance. Hurting people. Will
- 14:49Speaker 2: show you where they're hurting them to, because it's a
- 14:51Speaker 2: very interesting story, indeed. But this is the whole point, Mike,
- 14:55Speaker 2: This is what this whole thing is about. We'll bring
- 14:58Speaker 2: this up on screen. This is UNRA, the United Nations
- 15:01Speaker 2: Relief and Works Agency. Now, this has been providing aid
- 15:04Speaker 2: in Gaza since the mid nineteen fifties to refugees, people
- 15:07Speaker 2: displaced from the Nakba people in occupied territories. They have
- 15:11Speaker 2: four hundred mini kitchens, they have a network of suppliers.
- 15:16Speaker 2: The aid was flowing before October seventh, four hundred trucks
- 15:20Speaker 2: a day, Mike. So they had enough to look after people,
- 15:22Speaker 2: medical supplies, they even provide counseling, education, education, they're providing
- 15:28Speaker 2: for the kids. All of that stuff was taken care of.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Israel destroyed it by accusing UNRA of harboring Hamas you
- 15:34Speaker 2: remember that story. So the United States got on board
- 15:37Speaker 2: with that fraud, Joe Biden, and they've now destroyed UNRA.
- 15:41Speaker 2: They've killed a lot of their staff. Israel has targeted
- 15:44Speaker 2: UNRA facilities, un refugee facilities in their bombing and this
- 15:49Speaker 2: is here's an UNRA facility right now. Look at it,
- 15:52Speaker 2: just completely turned to rubble. That's what this is all about.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Israel in the US are trying to replace UNRA with
- 15:58Speaker 2: their own aid delivery, which which is designed to do
- 16:01Speaker 2: something very specific. Now, take a look at this scene
- 16:05Speaker 2: from a World Food Program central warehouse in central Gaza.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Watched this riot that ensued here. Two people were killed,
- 16:13Speaker 2: sixty plus people injured, and I believe there was firing
- 16:17Speaker 2: on the crowd. Go ahead and watch this, yeah.
- 16:22Speaker 3: George, my George, Yeah, George, my George. Mate, Mudur, I'm rocking,
- 16:30Speaker 3: has I'm a rocking Yeah, George, my George, and I'm
- 16:36Speaker 3: rocking hostel and I'm lookingaham.
- 16:46Speaker 2: But so the US government directly responsible for this, the
- 16:54Speaker 2: UK government, Germany, France, the United the European Union, and
- 16:58Speaker 2: of course Israel been dragging their feet to create this
- 17:01Speaker 2: very situation. What is the endgame though, and we continue
- 17:04Speaker 2: to ask ourselves that question. Let's take a look at this.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Bring this up on screen. Here's the endgame. Take a
- 17:10Speaker 2: look at this map. You see the red dots there,
- 17:12Speaker 2: There's one in the middle and three at the bottom. Okay,
- 17:15Speaker 2: these are the so called distribution facilities through this Gaza
- 17:19Speaker 2: Humanitarian Front organization, that's an intelligence front. And by the way,
- 17:23Speaker 2: the Israeli parliamentarians Avicdor Lieberman himself said he said he
- 17:28Speaker 2: was upset Masad was funding this operation. He let the
- 17:32Speaker 2: cat out of the bag. So this is the CIA
- 17:34Speaker 2: and Masad. Now what are they trying to do. They're
- 17:37Speaker 2: literally trying to bait people. Take a closer look at this,
- 17:41Speaker 2: Take a closer look at this. This is what it's about,
- 17:44Speaker 2: kill zones, concentration camps, and ethnic cleansing. That's exactly what
- 17:51Speaker 2: this plan is. Take a closer look though, Okay, pay attention.
- 17:55Speaker 2: This is the point pushing people south from the north
- 17:59Speaker 2: down to the bottom section, and what happens to them
- 18:02Speaker 2: at that point they get bombed and what pushed into
- 18:05Speaker 2: the Sinai desert, whoever's still alive. This is the Israeli objective.
- 18:09Speaker 2: This has been articulated by Israeli ministers over the last
- 18:13Speaker 2: couple of months. This is not a secret. So like,
- 18:16Speaker 2: we're done guessing about what the situation is. You're watching
- 18:21Speaker 2: the operation live, We're showing you how it's done. Just
- 18:24Speaker 2: bring that back up on screen so people can see. Okay,
- 18:27Speaker 2: that's what's happening, folks, there's no doubt about it. You've
- 18:30Speaker 2: seen the pictures. You've seen it. The whole ninety percent
- 18:34Speaker 2: of the housing has been obliterated, the hospitals are gone.
- 18:37Speaker 2: They're trying to make it unlivable to do the final solution.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Israel's final solution. Nettigna. Who's final solution? Donald Trump's final solution?
- 18:47Speaker 2: Because Trump is absolutely on board with this. Now, who's
- 18:51Speaker 2: the chief envoy for Donald Trump? It's Steve Wikoff, right,
- 18:56Speaker 2: So we'll take that graphic away for a moment. But
- 19:00Speaker 2: so Steve Wickoff is the chief envoy who does Steve
- 19:03Speaker 2: Witcoff work for. Steve Wickcoff does not work for the
- 19:07Speaker 2: American people. He does not work for the US government.
- 19:09Speaker 2: He doesn't have an official position with the US government
- 19:12Speaker 2: who's not confirmed by Congress or Senate. He works for
- 19:15Speaker 2: the Israelis. Steve Wikoff works for the Israelis. Look at
- 19:19Speaker 2: the results, Look at what's happened since Trump has come
- 19:22Speaker 2: in and put this person, Steve Witcoff, a billionaire from
- 19:26Speaker 2: New York, very close to the Israeli lobby. He is
- 19:29Speaker 2: working for the Israelis to help them achieve their objectives,
- 19:33Speaker 2: to help them towards the final solution, which we showed
- 19:36Speaker 2: you in the map just previously, and here for any
- 19:40Speaker 2: other further questions. If you want to see how really
- 19:43Speaker 2: dark this is getting, take a look at this as
- 19:45Speaker 2: from the Palestine Chronicle, isis CIA and the GHF Israel's
- 19:49Speaker 2: new frontier of control through hunger and what are the
- 19:53Speaker 2: Israelis doing? If you thought it couldn't get any worse,
- 19:55Speaker 2: the plot again thickens. Israel's now backing Isis linked criminals,
- 20:00Speaker 2: rug lords, pilfering aid and food, in some cases dumping
- 20:03Speaker 2: food out in the negative desert, and murderers who have
- 20:07Speaker 2: They have been working alongside in southern Gaza in the
- 20:10Speaker 2: so called buffer zone after their invasion of the area
- 20:13Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. This is documented. That's where we're at.
- 20:17Speaker 2: And this is intentional, this policy. It's to disrupt and
- 20:20Speaker 2: to create all kinds of chaos and ultimately shortage and
- 20:24Speaker 2: make it so Israel in the US have to control
- 20:27Speaker 2: all the aid. That's exactly what this is. For anybody
- 20:30Speaker 2: who hasn't worked this out yet, you know, I don't
- 20:32Speaker 2: know what to tell you.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Okay, thank you Patrick. Let's move on then, and let's
- 20:37Speaker 1: say if you would like to support the UK Column,
- 20:40Speaker 1: the place to go is support dot uk Colm dot

- 21:42Speaker 1: staying with vaccine injuries, Mark, let's welcome you to the program.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Tell us what has been described by the filmmakers as
- 21:51Speaker 1: the hidden story of the human cost of censorship.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Good day, gentlemen and UK colum viewers. Yeah, good news here,
- 22:01Speaker 4: although there's somber elements to it, of course, but very
- 22:04Speaker 4: good news in that there's a new documentary out called
- 22:07Speaker 4: Follow the Silence and here is the basic cover of it.
- 22:12Speaker 4: You know, the movie poster you might say it already
- 22:16Speaker 4: won a Santa Monica International Film Festival Award. The woman
- 22:21Speaker 4: there with her mouth covered with the word silenced is
- 22:25Speaker 4: mentioned in an article I recently did for UK column,
- 22:28Speaker 4: I'll make that note, and so all in all, this
- 22:32Speaker 4: is a very positive development. There's a little bit of
- 22:36Speaker 4: information that goes with it, of course, from a press release.
- 22:39Speaker 4: I'm citing that slightly here. After winning the Best of
- 22:42Speaker 4: Festival and Best Director at the twenty five Santa Monica
- 22:46Speaker 4: International Film Festival, this powerful film is ready to be
- 22:50Speaker 4: ready to debut on the global stage. It reveals the
- 22:54Speaker 4: heartbreaking journey that many of many of us have heard of,
- 22:57Speaker 4: of course, in this case focusing Americans who trusted the
- 23:01Speaker 4: science only to have their lives forever changed when they
- 23:05Speaker 4: were chosen to be in the first COVID vaccine trials.
- 23:09Speaker 4: So it focuses on those that were guinea pigs in
- 23:11Speaker 4: the trials, but they refused to be silenced. And the
- 23:16Speaker 4: documentary follows those who were smeared, slandered, and as they say,
- 23:20Speaker 4: pushed into the shadows when big pharma and the government
- 23:24Speaker 4: wouldn't cover for them or wouldn't help them. They found
- 23:27Speaker 4: strength in each other. And I watched about nine tenths
- 23:31Speaker 4: of it. It's a very emotional and yet information packed presentation, guys.
- 23:37Speaker 4: And here it shows that it's based on thirty six
- 23:42Speaker 4: hundred peer reviewed publications on COVID vaccine adverse events. So
- 23:47Speaker 4: there's a lot of data behind it, they're saying, so
- 23:50Speaker 4: it's not just an emotional outpouring. They've gathered a lot
- 23:53Speaker 4: of information for it. Evidently they've done a lot of
- 23:56Speaker 4: research and so on and so forth. This is the
- 24:01Speaker 4: article I did not long ago that appears on UK Column,
- 24:04Speaker 4: and of course it focuses on not just vaccines, but
- 24:07Speaker 4: going beyond vacks dangers and looking at other big pharma
- 24:11Speaker 4: products that are generating endless lawsuits alleged to have caused
- 24:16Speaker 4: cancer and a number of things. And in that article
- 24:19Speaker 4: I mentioned Brian Dressen, who co chairs a group called
- 24:23Speaker 4: React nineteen is an interest group for people saying they've
- 24:27Speaker 4: been injured by the COVID nineteen jabs. She sued Astrozenica
- 24:32Speaker 4: over medical expenses and much more, arguing that she's still disabled,
- 24:37Speaker 4: unable to work, unable to carry on with her life.
- 24:41Speaker 4: And I had mentioned her in the article at UK Column,
- 24:44Speaker 4: and it turns out that she's the main protagonist in
- 24:48Speaker 4: Follow the Silence in this documentary, so her life is
- 24:52Speaker 4: featured a lot in this and I don't know if
- 24:54Speaker 4: we'll see her in this clip, but we do have
- 24:57Speaker 4: a small clip from Follow the Silence to get you
- 25:00Speaker 4: a flavor of it.
- 25:01Speaker 5: So let's check that out.
- 25:03Speaker 6: I did my part. I got it. I got mine
- 25:07Speaker 6: because I wanted to protect myself and my family. I
- 25:10Speaker 6: don know undercook clean or even pickup in homed baby
- 25:13Speaker 6: for too long before my body begins to shape uncontrollably.
- 25:17Speaker 6: I have been called a buyer and a fake, and
- 25:19Speaker 6: have even been told by the er doctors this is
- 25:22Speaker 6: all in my head.
- 25:24Speaker 3: What companies have spent and a half billion dollars on
- 25:28Speaker 3: lobbying and campaign.
- 25:30Speaker 7: Touch interd is was big bomb. I decide whether you
- 25:33Speaker 7: live or die, and that makes them dangerously bomb with
- 25:37Speaker 7: the chairman is a sad fact that we regulate industries
- 25:40Speaker 7: such as machinery and automobile far better than we do
- 25:42Speaker 7: those that affect what we may be placed in our body.
- 25:45Speaker 7: Closer received the biggest criminal fine in US history.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Mispromoting medicine is a paying kickbacks to compoy doctors.
- 25:52Speaker 7: They're getting paid by the pharmaceutical industry, by the very
- 25:55Speaker 7: companies that they're supposed to oversee Maria to protect us from.
- 26:04Speaker 4: That captures the flavor of the documentary quite well, and
- 26:07Speaker 4: it harkens back to some other reports I've made gentlemen
- 26:10Speaker 4: about Peiser, for example, being mired in lawsuits going back
- 26:15Speaker 4: to two thousand and nine and before and being where
- 26:21Speaker 4: verdicts decided and concluded that Pfizer had committed some of
- 26:27Speaker 4: the most egregious acts in Department of Justice history.
- 26:30Speaker 5: The largest payouts.
- 26:33Speaker 4: By Pfizer, They were the largest in Department of Justice
- 26:36Speaker 4: history in terms of the court decisions and what Pfiser
- 26:40Speaker 4: had to pay in fines and things like that. Now,
- 26:43Speaker 4: another piece of the puzzle, or another part of the
- 26:45Speaker 4: story here is that Texans for Vaccine Choice went to
- 26:51Speaker 4: a recent US Senate May twenty one hearing, a committee hearing,
- 26:55Speaker 4: and it was attended by the president of that group,
- 26:58Speaker 4: Rebecca Hardy, and the hearing was hosted by one of
- 27:02Speaker 4: America's most outspoken critics of the US COVID response, Senator
- 27:07Speaker 4: Ron Johnson. The Wisconsin senator was also calling for a renewed.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Probe into nine to eleven.
- 27:13Speaker 4: And there were other important witnesses there at that hearing,
- 27:16Speaker 4: including doctor Peter mccullor, were familiar with that Texas based
- 27:20Speaker 4: cardiologist doctor Jordan Vaughn, doctor James Thorpe, and an attorney,
- 27:25Speaker 4: Aaron Siri, all of whom delivered data driven testimonies to
- 27:29Speaker 4: that Senate committee. And from there, this is the hearing
- 27:35Speaker 4: that Rebecca attended. It was called the corruption of Science
- 27:39Speaker 4: and Federal Health Agencies, how health officials downplayed and hid
- 27:44Speaker 4: mile cardidis and other adverse events associated with the COVID
- 27:48Speaker 4: nineteen vaccines. And that was the Homeland Security Government Affairs
- 27:52Speaker 4: Committee that Rebecca attended. Another part of the good news
- 27:59Speaker 4: of this is to hear was followed by a congressional
- 28:02Speaker 4: screening of this documentary Follow the Silence, Follow the Silence,
- 28:06Speaker 4: to Excuse Me, which is about an hour and ten
- 28:08Speaker 4: minutes long in total, And the film reportedly received a
- 28:12Speaker 4: standing ovation from that committee room filled with high level executive,
- 28:17Speaker 4: congressional and senatorial staffers. And I did get a quote
- 28:21Speaker 4: back from Rebecca Hardy. I contacted her, and I believe
- 28:26Speaker 4: we have that quote we can show. I'm not sure,
- 28:31Speaker 4: not just here, Mark, Sorry, Oh that's okay. Well, I
- 28:35Speaker 4: contacted Rebecca Hardy and she came back and said that
- 28:41Speaker 4: things went very well with that and she was pleased
- 28:44Speaker 4: to attend that, and things are looking very good. She
- 28:47Speaker 4: thinks there's a real change in the direction with the
- 28:51Speaker 4: powers of big Pharma that we're seeing much brighter, a much.
- 28:56Speaker 5: Brighter future right now. At any rate, that's for now.
- 29:00Speaker 4: I'll have more related stuff later about RFK and some
- 29:04Speaker 4: of his changes.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Mike M. Patrick, you've been reporting
- 29:08Speaker 1: on the Trump crackdown on freedom of speech, right criticism
- 29:11Speaker 1: of Israel or protest for Gaza on behalf of Gaza.
- 29:15Speaker 1: It looks like things are beginning to wrap up even further.
- 29:19Speaker 2: They are, and the first thing we're going to point
- 29:21Speaker 2: to is as somewhat encouraging on the free speech front.
- 29:24Speaker 2: That is, if you support free speech and the first
- 29:27Speaker 2: men and not everybody does in America is certainly not
- 29:29Speaker 2: the Trump administration or Mark or Rubio, the Secretary of State.
- 29:33Speaker 2: But this is a legal breakthrough here. Federal judge has
- 29:36Speaker 2: said that the law used to detain Mahmund Khalil, this
- 29:39Speaker 2: is the Columbia graduate student who is being deported by
- 29:43Speaker 2: the US government. It's likely unconstitutional. So this is very interesting.
- 29:48Speaker 2: So it does look there's two there's two court cases
- 29:52Speaker 2: with this particular person, and here it is the so
- 29:55Speaker 2: called foreign policy law. This is what they've invoked in
- 29:59Speaker 2: the US say that mab Mood Khalil as a student
- 30:01Speaker 2: was a danger to US national security or foreign policy
- 30:05Speaker 2: because he was criticizing Israel or opposing a genocide. They're
- 30:09Speaker 2: saying that the law is unconstitutionally as applied to mister Khalil,
- 30:13Speaker 2: who act as solely within the United States. So this
- 30:15Speaker 2: argument that somehow it's affecting the US internationally or whatever,
- 30:19Speaker 2: it's just not standing up to reality. The judge further
- 30:23Speaker 2: said that Marco Rubio has failed to affirmatively determine that
- 30:27Speaker 2: Khalil's actions had affected US relations. So this is unprecedented.
- 30:31Speaker 2: So I think this is encouraging. This is he's very
- 30:34Speaker 2: likely to win on constitutional grounds, exactly as we said
- 30:38Speaker 2: when this story broke. But there you are, so I
- 30:41Speaker 2: hate to be right about that. But nonetheless, so let's
- 30:45Speaker 2: bring up this development here. So Mark Rubio is on
- 30:48Speaker 2: a terror You notice he's not doing much internationally, Mike,
- 30:51Speaker 2: He's really just chasing students and Chinese students. That's Mark
- 30:55Speaker 2: or Rubio's main remit. So the State Department is now
- 30:58Speaker 2: halting interviews with students and exchange visas. So that war
- 31:02Speaker 2: against Harvard University, which is over speech against Israel, the
- 31:07Speaker 2: US is saying this Harvard shouldn't be allowed to have
- 31:09Speaker 2: international students, which is obscene if you think about it.
- 31:14Speaker 2: So he's basically saying, and they get real specific here,
- 31:16Speaker 2: we use all available information in our visa and screening
- 31:19Speaker 2: and vetting, says State Department here in a statement, without
- 31:23Speaker 2: specifying what could flag an applicant for rejection under the
- 31:27Speaker 2: new social media policy. They're checking your social media. The
- 31:32Speaker 2: statement noted that visa applicants have been asked to provide
- 31:36Speaker 2: social media account information for since twenty nineteen, So if
- 31:41Speaker 2: you want to apply as an international student, and this
- 31:44Speaker 2: could be extended to tourists, by the way, using probably
- 31:47Speaker 2: AI systems provided by Israel, of course. So if you
- 31:51Speaker 2: have anything negative about Israel, you can say what you
- 31:54Speaker 2: want about the United States. You can say America is
- 31:57Speaker 2: the worst country in the world Donald Trump's admon the
- 32:00Speaker 2: Great Satan. That's no problem there. But say anything bound
- 32:03Speaker 2: about Israel and you will know pass go, You'll be
- 32:06Speaker 2: rejected from entries. So it gets even stranger.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Look at this.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Rubio's order comes under President Trump is trying to coerce
- 32:14Speaker 2: Harvard University and other institutions restrict what can be said
- 32:18Speaker 2: on campuses, particularly with regards to anti Israel speech. So
- 32:22Speaker 2: it's kind of obvious where this policy is coming from.
- 32:25Speaker 2: But this is where, Mike, this is where things are
- 32:27Speaker 2: really headed.
- 32:28Speaker 1: To take a look at this.
- 32:29Speaker 2: The US will aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students, says
- 32:34Speaker 2: Mark or Rubio. What's the basis for this, Like, how
- 32:36Speaker 2: are they going to pick and choose which Chinese students
- 32:39Speaker 2: are good or bad? Well, here it is the Trump
- 32:42Speaker 2: administration would work to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students,
- 32:47Speaker 2: including those with quote ties to the Chinese Communist Party,
- 32:52Speaker 2: who are studying in quote critical fields. So if a
- 32:56Speaker 2: Chinese person is studying in stems engineering technology, and if
- 33:00Speaker 2: maybe they have somebody in their family who might be
- 33:03Speaker 2: tied to the Chinese Communist Party, they're not allowed to
- 33:06Speaker 2: come and study in the US now, I mean, were
- 33:08Speaker 2: talking about this before the show, Mike, And you know,
- 33:11Speaker 2: Chinese students provide twenty percent of all US foreign students internationally,
- 33:17Speaker 2: they provide probably a huge chunk of financial aid and
- 33:20Speaker 2: help to all universities in America. That's just a reality,
- 33:24Speaker 2: and it's really been like that for thirty years. So
- 33:27Speaker 2: they want to shut this down. That's the sort of
- 33:29Speaker 2: thing you do before you declare war against the country.
- 33:31Speaker 2: But you were saying, Mike that it's not easy to
- 33:33Speaker 2: get top university places in China.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's extremely competitive, and that's why there's such a
- 33:40Speaker 1: diaspora of people coming to foreign countries Britain and the
- 33:44Speaker 1: United States in particular for education. I'm sure we're going
- 33:47Speaker 1: to talk about this much more an extra.
- 33:49Speaker 2: And I'll add in Silicon Valley a lot of the
- 33:51Speaker 2: startups are basically founded by young Chinese. San Francisco is
- 33:55Speaker 2: the biggest in California, is the biggest Chinese population outside
- 33:58Speaker 2: of China in the world, and it has been like
- 34:01Speaker 2: that for the whole duration of the existence of that state.
- 34:05Speaker 2: So they obviously family connections people coming over. They've done
- 34:09Speaker 2: a massive amount of innovation and brain power into our
- 34:13Speaker 2: big tech industry and they want to shut it down.
- 34:17Speaker 1: So there you are. Okay, Well, look, let's come back
- 34:20Speaker 1: onto the topic of COVID jobs. Mark RFK Junior has
- 34:24Speaker 1: made an announcement with respect to children.
- 34:27Speaker 4: What does he said, Well, it's interesting, as we know,
- 34:32Speaker 4: he had a less than stellar confirmation hearing. He made
- 34:36Speaker 4: a couple points worthy of remembering, you know, noteworthy things.
- 34:40Speaker 4: But it seemed at the time, as Patrick pointed out,
- 34:43Speaker 4: that he was largely bowing to the pressure of the
- 34:46Speaker 4: deep state he was about to enter, and there looked
- 34:49Speaker 4: to be a lot of compromise. The good news is
- 34:52Speaker 4: that he is laying down some planks of good policy, evidently,
- 34:56Speaker 4: and so one of the things is that he says
- 35:01Speaker 4: no COVID vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women. On
- 35:05Speaker 4: the twenty seventh of May, Health and Human Services Secretary
- 35:09Speaker 4: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, of course, made another sweeping change
- 35:12Speaker 4: to the US vaccine landscape. I'm citing different sources, including
- 35:16Speaker 4: from the University of Minnesota, and Kennedy said, the Centers
- 35:19Speaker 4: for Disease Control and Prevention have removed its recommendation to
- 35:24Speaker 4: give the COVID nineteen vaccine for healthy.
- 35:27Speaker 5: Children and pregnant women.
- 35:29Speaker 4: And an exact quote is I couldn't be more pleased
- 35:33Speaker 4: to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine for
- 35:36Speaker 4: healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from
- 35:40Speaker 4: the CDC recommended immunization schedule. That's what RFK Junior said,
- 35:46Speaker 4: Flanked by Martin McCarry who's with the FDA and other officials,
- 35:52Speaker 4: another one who's the director of the National Institutes of Health.
- 35:56Speaker 4: One thing I would note that it's interesting is it
- 35:58Speaker 4: says the code for healthy children and healthy pregnant women.
- 36:03Speaker 4: And one one would wonder from hearing that if you're
- 36:06Speaker 4: not altogether healthy as a child, or you're not all
- 36:09Speaker 4: together healthy as a pregnant woman, arguably you might be
- 36:12Speaker 4: more vulnerable to vaccine adverse effects. So what's with the
- 36:16Speaker 4: language there, Probably we'll find out in the days and
- 36:19Speaker 4: weeks ahead, But here's the official announcement from AHHS.
- 36:25Speaker 8: Hi everybody, I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Junior, your agh as Secretary,
- 36:28Speaker 8: and I'm here today with NIH Director doctor J. Bodicharia
- 36:33Speaker 8: and FDA Commissioner Doctor Marty mcerry. I couldn't be more
- 36:37Speaker 8: pleased to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine
- 36:41Speaker 8: for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed
- 36:46Speaker 8: from the CDC Recommended immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden
- 36:51Speaker 8: administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot,
- 36:55Speaker 8: despite the lack of any political data to support the
- 36:59Speaker 8: repeat booster strategy in children.
- 37:02Speaker 1: That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science.
- 37:05Speaker 4: There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most
- 37:08Speaker 4: countries have stopped recommending it for children.
- 37:11Speaker 8: Or now one step close to realizing President Trump's promise
- 37:15Speaker 8: to make America healthy again.
- 37:21Speaker 4: So on the surface, at least to a degree, that's
- 37:25Speaker 4: good news, and probably they'll go further with this. So
- 37:29Speaker 4: we're going to wait and see on some of those
- 37:31Speaker 4: qualifying words healthy, healthy children, healthy pregnant women. But I
- 37:36Speaker 4: also got a response from Rebecca Hardy on this particular item,
- 37:41Speaker 4: and when I contacted her and she said the following.
- 37:44Speaker 4: She's with of course Texans for Vaccine Choice, she's the president.
- 37:49Speaker 4: And this was directly to UK Colin. This wasn't a
- 37:51Speaker 4: blanket statement. We welcome the announcement the CDC is reevaluating
- 37:56Speaker 4: its recommendation of the COVID nineteen vaccine for healthy chi
- 38:00Speaker 4: children and pregnant women, given the growing number of reported
- 38:03Speaker 4: injuries and adverse reactions associated with these vaccines. This is,
- 38:07Speaker 4: she said, a much needed step toward prioritizing safety, enhancing transparency,
- 38:13Speaker 4: and restoring trust in public health. A much needed step,
- 38:18Speaker 4: and I think we sense that other steps may be needed.
- 38:21Speaker 4: But that's the way it stands as of today, gentlemen, Mike.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Just a quick coming.
- 38:26Speaker 2: I mean Mark really nailed it there on the healthy
- 38:29Speaker 2: qualification because that why was that language inserted in there?
- 38:33Speaker 2: And always with RFK there's always some kind of fly
- 38:36Speaker 2: in the ointment, you know, it's just common sense. If
- 38:38Speaker 2: your child's healthy, of course you're not going to strap
- 38:41Speaker 2: them down for an experimental gene job. Okay, common sense obviously.
- 38:46Speaker 2: So there's nothing really I think a valuable or novel
- 38:49Speaker 2: here other than oh, the government's not going to lean
- 38:51Speaker 2: on you, basically, but if you are healthy, if a
- 38:54Speaker 2: pregnant woman is healthy, does that mean they need to
- 38:56Speaker 2: get the COVID vaccine. The fact that this is not
- 38:59Speaker 2: being explain that RFK injected, no pun intended that in
- 39:03Speaker 2: there is extremely worrying. And I'm wondering who is bought
- 39:07Speaker 2: where's the wizard behind the curtain on this, because it
- 39:10Speaker 2: seems like a puppet show with the three stooges there.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yes, but you've got some vaccine use as well here Patrick,
- 39:18Speaker 1: with respect to Maderna.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Yeah, some potentially good news here, and again we'll bring
- 39:23Speaker 2: in RFK us cancels more than seven hundred million in
- 39:27Speaker 2: funding for Maderna to develop the bird flu vaccine. So
- 39:31Speaker 2: Biden chucked in five hundred and ninety million, and they
- 39:34Speaker 2: had another one hundred and seventy six million with Trump here,
- 39:37Speaker 2: and so the bird flu vaccine is basically for Maderna
- 39:41Speaker 2: has been canceled. Huge shareholder uproar at Maderna. They don't
- 39:45Speaker 2: know what to do. They need to find some free cash.
- 39:47Speaker 2: And of course the bird population is very upset because
- 39:50Speaker 2: they have been demonized for carrying this virus that nobody
- 39:54Speaker 2: can basically find under a microscope but only in cell
- 39:58Speaker 2: culture and all sorts of complicated processes to claim that
- 40:01Speaker 2: something's happening that might be or might not be contagious,
- 40:05Speaker 2: that is not deadly for humans, It doesn't even make
- 40:07Speaker 2: humans sick. But nonetheless, if there's one or two cases
- 40:11Speaker 2: that they claim are around, it's enough to vaccinate the world.
- 40:14Speaker 2: And of course, again you know, the birds are being
- 40:17Speaker 2: unfairly demonized. All the chickens, the roosters who are laying
- 40:22Speaker 2: eggs for us, they're all in jeopardy because of this
- 40:25Speaker 2: diabolical plot.
- 40:26Speaker 1: It seems, yeah, but okay, we're not at risk for
- 40:28Speaker 1: bird flu, but are we at risk for yet? Another
- 40:31Speaker 1: COVID variant.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Well, big announcement today, folks. And we didn't tell you
- 40:36Speaker 2: this at the beginning of the program because we didn't
- 40:37Speaker 2: want to surprise. We don't want to spoil, surprise or
- 40:41Speaker 2: scare anybody, quite frankly. But lo and behold, Mike, A
- 40:45Speaker 2: new COVID variant has been launched. A new COVID variant
- 40:49Speaker 2: is here and it's more transmissible. Here are the signs
- 40:53Speaker 2: and symptoms. Big press event here and you know what
- 40:57Speaker 2: that means, folks, That means Coroni once back onto the
- 41:01Speaker 2: main stage. So again, the special thing about the NB
- 41:06Speaker 2: dot one dot eight dot one is that they think
- 41:10Speaker 2: it's possible it comes from China. It comes from China.
- 41:15Speaker 2: So this is particularly dangerous, especially because they claim it
- 41:18Speaker 2: comes from China. How did they claim this, How do
- 41:21Speaker 2: they find They did what's called biosurveillance through sequencing, so
- 41:26Speaker 2: sequencing and PCR tests. They've got this idea that they
- 41:30Speaker 2: put the day together and it's a new variance on
- 41:32Speaker 2: the loose. This is extremely disturbing announcement and we are
- 41:38Speaker 2: just so shocked, and I hope everybody is not scared.
- 41:42Speaker 2: It's okay to go out obviously, and socialize with your
- 41:46Speaker 2: friends and family and just go ahead with your daily lives,
- 41:49Speaker 2: act like nothing is happening, but be careful and you know,
- 41:54Speaker 2: stay safe out there.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Well ook a extra. I'm going to be talking about
- 41:57Speaker 1: mentioning the fact that I was in the United States
- 41:59Speaker 1: over the weekend, and well, actually there were quite a
- 42:01Speaker 1: number of people wearing masks.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Again, Oh no, that's never stopped. Right on the subways
- 42:06Speaker 2: in New York and Boston, particularly bad Philadelphia, East coast,
- 42:11Speaker 2: basically from Washington, d C. The further you get up
- 42:14Speaker 2: the Eastern seaboard, there more masks on public transport. So
- 42:17Speaker 2: there's just a lot of people that are still traumatized,
- 42:20Speaker 2: and they've learned to love the mask, much like was
- 42:24Speaker 2: it Aldus Huxley's brother in that famous interview, they learned
- 42:27Speaker 2: to love their servitude.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, right. Well, look at the top of the program,
- 42:31Speaker 1: we were talking about the kilweb, we were talking about
- 42:33Speaker 1: the potential of AI, drone swarms and so on. The
- 42:37Speaker 1: UK government is absolutely doubling, tripling, quad rippling down on
- 42:41Speaker 1: AI and so many policy areas at the moment. So
- 42:43Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit more about that. And well
- 42:46Speaker 1: we're kicking off with Defense yet again because the largest
- 42:49Speaker 1: ever UK defense AI trial has been conducted. These are
- 42:53Speaker 1: their words, and many of their words here across Land,
- 42:56Speaker 1: Sea and Era, building on previous trials known as Winter Mute.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Don't know where they get that name from. This trial
- 43:04Speaker 1: involved around two hundred scientists from the Defense Science Technology Bordery,
- 43:08Speaker 1: a military personnel from the Royal Navy and the Royal
- 43:10Speaker 1: Air Force, industry representatives and international partners collaborating at Portland
- 43:15Speaker 1: Harbor to develop critic what they describe as critical AI
- 43:18Speaker 1: systems for automatic target detection and recognition. So this took
- 43:23Speaker 1: place over a five day period using all kinds of
- 43:26Speaker 1: technolo knowology and data was recorded from Rowal naval vessels,
- 43:30Speaker 1: ground vehicles, manned and nonmanned aircraft and they were operating
- 43:35Speaker 1: what is described as mission based scenarios. It also included
- 43:40Speaker 1: participation from Australia and from New Zealand. Sorry it's from
- 43:43Speaker 1: Australia and from the United States. So this was done
- 43:46Speaker 1: within the ORCUS framework. The Ministry of Defense claims that
- 43:49Speaker 1: the AI technologies under development you'll be glad to know
- 43:52Speaker 1: they're not intended to replace human decision making, but rather
- 43:56Speaker 1: the supported Yeah, the systems will quote reduce cognitive burdens
- 44:02Speaker 1: burden on military personnel by filtering information and providing clearer
- 44:06Speaker 1: battlefield intelligence, ensuring more timely and effective responses in dynamic situations.
- 44:12Speaker 1: So but it doesn't end there. It can kill faster, Yes, absolutely,
- 44:15Speaker 1: very good. The Foreign Office is also using AI and
- 44:19Speaker 1: this time is to detect hostile state activity and the
- 44:23Speaker 1: hostile state they're referring to is Russia and the theater
- 44:26Speaker 1: of operation since the Arctic. So here's David Lammy in
- 44:29Speaker 1: the Arctic a couple couple of days ago. A hostile
- 44:31Speaker 1: actor right there. Indeed it is Lammy said, it's more
- 44:35Speaker 1: important than ever that we work with our allies in
- 44:37Speaker 1: the High North like Norway and Iceland to enhance our
- 44:40Speaker 1: ability to patrol and protect these waters. That's why we
- 44:44Speaker 1: have today announced new UK funding to work more closely
- 44:47Speaker 1: with Iceland and using AI to bolster our ability to
- 44:50Speaker 1: monitor and detect hostile state activity in the Arctic. Now,
- 44:53Speaker 1: the FCDO didn't go into any more detail about what
- 44:57Speaker 1: they're specifically doing with AI as of yet, but in
- 45:00Speaker 1: the meantime, the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson,
- 45:05Speaker 1: gave a speech at the recent Education World Forum twenty
- 45:08Speaker 1: twenty five in which she was drawing attention to the
- 45:10Speaker 1: Open Innovation Team and their efforts to bring more AI
- 45:13Speaker 1: in the schools, and she said working with the Open
- 45:16Speaker 1: Innovation Team will be engaging the sector to understand what works.
- 45:20Speaker 1: We'll look at how tools including AI can improve things
- 45:23Speaker 1: like staff workload, pupil comes and inclusivity. So yes, okay,
- 45:29Speaker 1: we won't even comment on that. Evidence must be at
- 45:31Speaker 1: the heart of all we do and ed tech at
- 45:35Speaker 1: ed tech and right across education. Now. The Open Innovation
- 45:38Speaker 1: Team is a cross government unit that sits in the
- 45:42Speaker 1: Cabinet Office. It's all about fusion because they're working to
- 45:46Speaker 1: bring policy form invested interests outside government right into the
- 45:49Speaker 1: heart of government. That they said they've worked already with
- 45:52Speaker 1: two and a half thousand experts from nine hundred and
- 45:55Speaker 1: thirty organizations to help craft their policy work. And yet
- 46:02Speaker 1: another AI related announcement, the government has also announced that
- 46:05Speaker 1: the Border Force wants to expand its use of artificial
- 46:08Speaker 1: intelligence to help with searching and screening of freight at
- 46:11Speaker 1: all the UK sports by automating anomaly detection. They're saying
- 46:16Speaker 1: that this automation is going to speed up screening times.
- 46:20Speaker 1: It's also going to increase the volume of goods protest
- 46:23Speaker 1: sorry processed, and it will free up officers to focus
- 46:27Speaker 1: on critical tasks. It's going to reduce false alarms, and
- 46:31Speaker 1: it's going to minimize unnecessary secondary inspections. So there we go.
- 46:36Speaker 1: They are using the accelerated capability environment that we've talked
- 46:40Speaker 1: about before on this program to support all this. And well,
- 46:45Speaker 1: what more can we say?
- 46:46Speaker 2: If only they could make international trade more quicker and
- 46:49Speaker 2: inefficient and less bureaucratically burdensome, Well, great for the economy,
- 46:53Speaker 2: wouldn't it.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Well, the best way that you can do that is
- 46:55Speaker 1: to imposing tariffs which stop the trade altogether. That would
- 46:58Speaker 1: because obviously if you reduce the amount of trade going
- 47:01Speaker 1: through the ports, and you're reducing the workload on the
- 47:04Speaker 1: border force. So you know, we've got to applaud Trump
- 47:06Speaker 1: Starff's in this regard.
- 47:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and the balls up of Brexit, but we won't
- 47:09Speaker 2: go there. It's legiond It absolutely is.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Now. Nigel Farage has been speaking recently about the efforts
- 47:20Speaker 1: if he would to become Prime Minister, he would be
- 47:23Speaker 1: pushing forward with efforts to cut wasteful spending in the
- 47:26Speaker 1: British government and so on. He's basically echoing everything that
- 47:32Speaker 1: Elon Musk has been saying for the last few months.
- 47:34Speaker 1: How's that going, Patrick, Yeah, that'd be great.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Let's do what Elon Musk did with the Trump administration
- 47:39Speaker 2: not going so well. Actually, let's take a look at
- 47:43Speaker 2: this report here. This is an article. This is a
- 47:46Speaker 2: devastating article, by the way, written by somebody on the right,
- 47:50Speaker 2: just so people know, but Musk is fleeing the Trump
- 47:53Speaker 2: administration after DOGE failure, White Genocide hoax, and X melt down,
- 47:59Speaker 2: X melted down as a platform the last two weeks
- 48:01Speaker 2: totally dysfunctional. People were just losing their dms and timelines.
- 48:06Speaker 2: But the big thing here is DOGE. So let's take
- 48:09Speaker 2: a look at this. So that was the member that
- 48:12Speaker 2: was the battle cry, right, We're cutting waste, fraud and abuse,
- 48:15Speaker 2: said Elon Musk, And he made some big, big claims
- 48:19Speaker 2: and big promises and pledges at the beginning of this.
- 48:23Speaker 2: So let's take a look at where things actually ended up.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Musk is out of government and this is the receipts here.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Back in March. Just remember, Musk made the wild claim
- 48:33Speaker 2: that DOGE was on track to save the US federal
- 48:36Speaker 2: government a wopping one trillion dollars by the month of May,
- 48:40Speaker 2: without providing any actual evidence to back up the big
- 48:42Speaker 2: headline grabbing SoundBite. Well, May, Mike has come and gone,
- 48:47Speaker 2: and so has Elon Musk, unfortunately, and we'll go on here.
- 48:52Speaker 1: Now take a look.
- 48:53Speaker 2: In April, Musk was then forced to admit DOGE may
- 48:56Speaker 2: only cut one hundred and fifty billion dollars, spending fifteen
- 49:01Speaker 2: percent of his original pledge of a trillion dollars. So
- 49:05Speaker 2: already not doing too well there. I'm afraid to say.
- 49:08Speaker 2: It actually gets worse, believe it or not. And by
- 49:11Speaker 2: the end we'll see how much DOGE actually saved.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Here.
- 49:15Speaker 2: In February, DOGE claimed it had achieved fifty five billion
- 49:19Speaker 2: in annual spending reductions. However, its wall of receipts detailed
- 49:23Speaker 2: only sixteen and a half billion in this total. Half
- 49:26Speaker 2: of that figure came from a typo claiming that eight
- 49:29Speaker 2: billion in savings was terminating an eight million dollar contract,
- 49:34Speaker 2: so they rounded up eight million to eight billion. That
- 49:37Speaker 2: helped to inflate the total. There's so many examples of this,
- 49:41Speaker 2: which are all cataloged in this article, which is a
- 49:43Speaker 2: brilliant takedown of DOGE, and New York Times reported here
- 49:48Speaker 2: about other such accounting errors, including claims of canceled contracts
- 49:53Speaker 2: that had already been canceled during the previous administration and
- 49:56Speaker 2: so forth. He claimed that they were saving four billion
- 49:59Speaker 2: a day, so that would have been two hundred and
- 50:01Speaker 2: sixty billion by now, and there's nothing near that, so
- 50:05Speaker 2: verified budget savings, etc.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Et cetera.
- 50:09Speaker 2: Not much to report there, So total collapse in that
- 50:13Speaker 2: one and the mass firing. Now you cut a lot
- 50:16Speaker 2: of staff, right, that was in the news. Now the
- 50:18Speaker 2: rehiring of those public sector workers could cost up two
- 50:22Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five billion during the end of
- 50:24Speaker 2: this before the end of this fiscal year in twenty
- 50:26Speaker 2: twenty five. Also the irs, he's done massive cuts there.
- 50:30Speaker 2: This is ultimately going to result in less revenue collected
- 50:35Speaker 2: by the Internal Revenue Service, and a lot of people
- 50:37Speaker 2: are probably happy about that, certain people, but in terms
- 50:40Speaker 2: of getting the government is bottom line, it's a disaster.
- 50:44Speaker 2: So the whole thing with DOGE, it's going to end
- 50:47Speaker 2: up costing and increasing the federal budget. And here we're
- 50:51Speaker 2: looking at the actual results. By the way, DOGE is
- 50:54Speaker 2: subject to thirty lawsuits out of the two hundred related
- 50:58Speaker 2: to the Trump administrations sort of agenda if you will,
- 51:02Speaker 2: for you know, cutting waste, fraud and abuse and so forth.
- 51:05Speaker 2: So that's all going to get tied up into the
- 51:07Speaker 2: courts afterwards. So here's the Ema Kolpa from Elon Musk
- 51:12Speaker 2: watched this in this interview just yesterday.
- 51:16Speaker 9: So you know, I was like disappointed to see the
- 51:21Speaker 9: massive spending bill frankly, which increases the budget deps that
- 51:26Speaker 9: not doesn't decrease it, and that reminds the work that
- 51:28Speaker 9: the Noche team is doing.
- 51:30Speaker 7: I actually thought that when this big beautiful bill came along.
- 51:32Speaker 4: I mean, like everything he's done on dose gets wiped
- 51:35Speaker 4: out in the first year.
- 51:37Speaker 9: I think, I think a bill can be can be
- 51:39Speaker 9: can be big or it can be beautiful.
- 51:42Speaker 1: But I don't know if it could be both my
- 51:44Speaker 1: postal opinion. So he doesn't seem to be in any
- 51:49Speaker 1: way a barrist or ashamed by the fact that it's
- 51:52Speaker 1: been a massive filure.
- 51:53Speaker 2: It is a giant this is this doge was a
- 51:55Speaker 2: giant sigh up. As I said from the beginning, I
- 51:57Speaker 2: predicted that the budget for this year, the first year
- 52:00Speaker 2: the Trump administration, will exceed Biden's last year, and they're
- 52:03Speaker 2: on track to do that and really surpass it by
- 52:06Speaker 2: leaps and bounds with the new inflatable defense budget over
- 52:09Speaker 2: at trillion dollars. So that's the main thing that we
- 52:12Speaker 2: need to pay attention to. So go to All the
- 52:15Speaker 2: details are here up at this article at twenty first
- 52:18Speaker 2: century wire dot com, and the receipts are there all
- 52:22Speaker 2: the links. So it's a well researched piece and it's
- 52:25Speaker 2: really incredible, absolutely no benefit from DOGE at all. In fact,
- 52:31Speaker 2: it's costing the government massive amounts of money.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Mark, did you have some thoughts about this?
- 52:38Speaker 4: Not much, I thought I read, and this may not
- 52:40Speaker 4: be a very pivotal thing, but I thought I read
- 52:42Speaker 4: where the DOGE mission was given a timeline and that
- 52:47Speaker 4: he reached the time limit at any rate, to say
- 52:50Speaker 4: nothing of the spending matters. I don't have time to
- 52:53Speaker 4: get into that.
- 52:54Speaker 5: Is that true?
- 52:54Speaker 4: There was sort of a deadline beyond which DOGE wouldn't exist.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Yeah, two years, I think it's it's it's a non
- 53:02Speaker 2: governmental commission effectively, it's not a government department, and it's
- 53:07Speaker 2: remit is I think two years, So twenty four months
- 53:11Speaker 2: I thought it.
- 53:12Speaker 5: Was less than that, but about two years.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Yeah, two years, and they have to issue a report
- 53:18Speaker 2: at the end of that two years as well, much
- 53:20Speaker 2: like the Grace Commission did during the Reagan administration.
- 53:25Speaker 5: Oh okay, well look Peter Grace, right.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Mark, let's come back on to RFK Junior. Because
- 53:29Speaker 1: it wasn't just the jobs that he was talking about.
- 53:32Speaker 1: He was also talking about food ouditives.
- 53:36Speaker 4: Yeah, this is important, and this is an ongoing problem
- 53:39Speaker 4: GLYFA say coming out of Monsano's products, which isn't hasn't
- 53:43Speaker 4: been mentioned yet. But RFK, to his credit, is doing
- 53:46Speaker 4: some other good things. This is an extension of what
- 53:49Speaker 4: I reported about earlier.
- 53:50Speaker 5: Today.
- 53:51Speaker 4: RFK Junior pushes to close a food additive loophole, but
- 53:56Speaker 4: is a gutted FDA up to the task. This is
- 53:59Speaker 4: food Print, a health research organization. I tend to rely
- 54:02Speaker 4: on those more than regular media for these sorts of things, especially,
- 54:06Speaker 4: and there's an interesting statistic that comes from food print.
- 54:11Speaker 4: Ninety eight percent of additives in our food, especially in
- 54:14Speaker 4: the United States, we're introduced through what's called the grass pathway.
- 54:19Speaker 4: Between twenty and twenty twenty two, Secretary RFK Junior has
- 54:24Speaker 4: directed the FDA food print is saying to explore rulemaking
- 54:28Speaker 4: with an eye toward eliminating the generally recognized as safe pathway.
- 54:33Speaker 4: That's grass that allows food companies to self regulate and
- 54:37Speaker 4: affirm the safety of their products, including chemical additives, many
- 54:40Speaker 4: of them harmful, without notifiing the notifying the FDA. So
- 54:45Speaker 4: under this grass, companies can introduce new food ingredients without
- 54:50Speaker 4: a FDA pre market review. It includes things like red
- 54:54Speaker 4: dye number three, sodium benzoate, titanium dioxide, canola corn and
- 54:59Speaker 4: soybe oils which are all GMO BPAs, and food packaging,
- 55:04Speaker 4: which is a liner used in cans to prevent canned
- 55:07Speaker 4: foods from spoiling, and BHA and other preservative. But it's
- 55:11Speaker 4: interesting that the FDA, out of one side of its mouth,
- 55:15Speaker 4: has eyed BHA since nineteen seventy eight, knowing that it
- 55:19Speaker 4: causes some harm, but since seventy eight, they're still allowing
- 55:23Speaker 4: that additive in our foods. And so that's one of
- 55:27Speaker 4: the things that's kind of odd here, guys, is that
- 55:30Speaker 4: the FDA has long known that a lot of these
- 55:32Speaker 4: things were problems and nothing was ever done about it.
- 55:36Speaker 4: Hopefully RFK JR Is serious and he'll pull the trigger
- 55:39Speaker 4: and get some of these dangerous additives out of our foods.
- 55:42Speaker 4: But again no mention of glyphosate, the active ingredient in
- 55:46Speaker 4: roundup which permeates everywhere in our grains.
- 55:49Speaker 5: You name it.
- 55:50Speaker 4: If we see that, that would mean it's becoming a
- 55:53Speaker 4: much more positive step forward. You're showing a graphic here.
- 55:58Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to show it here.
- 55:59Speaker 4: This is just a comic I picked up on. One
- 56:02Speaker 4: superherhero says trust the science, and the indignant other superhero answers,
- 56:07Speaker 4: questioning science is how you do science and slaps the
- 56:10Speaker 4: other one across the face. Kind of humorous. But that's
- 56:14Speaker 4: the latest on that. RFK seems to be making some
- 56:17Speaker 4: positive efforts, but it all bears very careful watching at
- 56:20Speaker 4: the same time.
- 56:21Speaker 1: Thank you for that mark. Thank you. Now back in
- 56:24Speaker 1: the UK here then, we have had no rin in
- 56:27Speaker 1: the last period of time and that of course is
- 56:29Speaker 1: having an impact on the crops that are growing this
- 56:33Speaker 1: year and we're looking at absolutely looking at a reduced
- 56:36Speaker 1: harvest this year. But in the meantime, in the Environment
- 56:40Speaker 1: Agency has declared to dry it for the northwest of
- 56:43Speaker 1: England following the driest start to spring in sixty nine years.
- 56:47Speaker 1: So they're saying that river flows have been declining along
- 56:50Speaker 1: with grindwater levels due to the dry March, April and May,
- 56:55Speaker 1: and they're saying the reservoir storage levels in the region
- 56:57Speaker 1: are also receding and are currently law than they were
- 57:00Speaker 1: at this time during the nineteen eighty four, nineteen ninety
- 57:02Speaker 1: five and twenty twenty two drought years. They're saying that
- 57:06Speaker 1: the rain that has been in the last couple of
- 57:09Speaker 1: weeks is not enough to reverse this strive start of
- 57:12Speaker 1: the year, and they're expecting hotter weather in the coming
- 57:15Speaker 1: weeks to make the situation even worse. In parallel with
- 57:19Speaker 1: that announcement, the Starmer regime has announced that the Environment Secretary,
- 57:24Speaker 1: Steve Reid, has seized control of the planning process to
- 57:28Speaker 1: build two major reservoirs. For the first time since the
- 57:31Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, these two projects, one in East Anglia and
- 57:35Speaker 1: the other in Literature, have been awarded the status of
- 57:39Speaker 1: nationally Significant and that means that the project is so
- 57:43Speaker 1: crucial to the plan that the planning process is escalated
- 57:46Speaker 1: from a local level to the Secretary of State and
- 57:50Speaker 1: he gets to make that decision. And so it's interesting
- 57:55Speaker 1: in their pres lease. They're talking about rapid population growth,
- 57:58Speaker 1: crumbling infrastructure that's been left to decline, and a warming
- 58:01Speaker 1: climate mean that the UK could run the risk of
- 58:05Speaker 1: clean drinking water running out by the middle of the
- 58:07Speaker 1: next decade without a major infrastructure overhaul. And I'm going
- 58:12Speaker 1: to say that we should note that all of those
- 58:15Speaker 1: issues are regime created issues or regime created crises. And
- 58:21Speaker 1: you'll understand what I mean by crimate climate change being
- 58:24Speaker 1: a regime created crisis because it's imagined. But anyway, that's
- 58:27Speaker 1: another discussion. The question is is now the time to
- 58:30Speaker 1: be building a massive data centers for AI projects with
- 58:34Speaker 1: massive cooling water requirements? And since the government's AI projects
- 58:38Speaker 1: are seen as national security issues, who's going to get
- 58:41Speaker 1: the priority? Is it going to be the AI or
- 58:43Speaker 1: is it going to be the human population? I think
- 58:45Speaker 1: I know the answer to that. But look, Mark, let's
- 58:48Speaker 1: end with you and the World Health Organized Sorry, the
- 58:51Speaker 1: World Health Assembly has now concluded. How did that go
- 58:55Speaker 1: in the end?
- 58:58Speaker 4: Well, actually it didn't go as well as the Eurocrats
- 59:02Speaker 4: and the who Aucrats wanted it to, despite their headlines.
- 59:06Speaker 4: This of course, this headline is from the conclusion from
- 59:09Speaker 4: the WHO itself. The seventy eighth World Health Assembly concludes
- 59:14Speaker 4: Historic Outcomes Consequential Highlights. They're saying, it's a lot of
- 59:18Speaker 4: high falutin language, guys, it's a lot of bromides and
- 59:22Speaker 4: bragging in a way. They're saying in their press release,
- 59:26Speaker 4: I'm just citing some of it so we get own
- 59:28Speaker 4: their own words for it. The seventy eighth World Health Assembly,
- 59:32Speaker 4: the WHO, the highest decision making body in the UN
- 59:35Speaker 4: system in terms of health, convened from nineteen May through
- 59:39Speaker 4: the twenty seven. So it just ended under the theme
- 59:41Speaker 4: One World for Health. It would have been more accurate
- 59:45Speaker 4: had they said one Health for the world, the one
- 59:47Speaker 4: health system. We've talked about Member states, they say, considered
- 59:50Speaker 4: approximately seventy five items and sub items at this Health Assembly,
- 59:55Speaker 4: across health, engaging lively debate, adopting consequences to improve health
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: for all. See it's a lot of beaming but largely
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: empty language. And here's what our friend Tadros, the WHO
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: director Drummer, had to say. The words historic and landmark
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: are overused, but they are perfectly apt to describe this
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: year's WHA, the adoption of the Pandemic Agreement and the
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: approval of the next increase in assessed contributions, along with
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: the numerous other resolutions that member states adopted, are a
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: sign to the world we can achieve cooperation in the
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: face of conflict and unity amid division. But what they're
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: not really saying, and that's because it's not true, is
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: that they really didn't finalize the agreement. As James Raguski
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: is pointing out repeatedly, and he was just interviewed again
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: on unredacted News, he's pointed out repeatedly that there is
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: an annex within the treaty text that requires that they
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: wait about one year to actually sign this thing. So
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: it's going to get to whaver seventy nine are very
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: close to it before they can actually officially sign it.
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: So the good news is all sorts of petitioning and
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: other activities can take place. And I'm I'm very inclined
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: to submit to UK column very soon an article that
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: assesses the whole situation. That's what I'm starting to work
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: on a little bit and gives people what actions they
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: can take. Some urgency, yes, but we've got about a
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: year to work with as I understand it, And there
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: is as a reminder also a petition and that is
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: posted by James Grigoski to repeal the PREP Act, and
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: that will be in the show notes.
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: People can text.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: Him at any time, he doesn't mind it three one
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: OHO six one nine three Oho five to five, and
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: he can direct you on signing the petition to repeal
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: the PREP Act, which is a law that protects big
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: pharma from liability for their products. And you don't have
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: to be an American to do it. He can instruct
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: you on how to do it no matter where you live.
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: There's also a July nineteen deadline for when the international
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: Health regulations will be finalized. That deadline is a little
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: more imminent, but.
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: That's noteworthy as well. So a lot of good news
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: in that.
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: There's a lot of big beaming language, but not as
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: much substance as the who would like you to believe?
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: Thank you some good news there.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much for that, mark. And as
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: you say, the details of fun to sign that petition
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: will be in the show notes on the UK column website.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: So so do have a look at that thank you mark.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: We're going to leave it there for today. I'm going
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: to say thank you to you and to Patrick for
