This week though, we're going to talk about the who's pandemic treaties and what she's been working on and what you can do to help. Now don't forget, we can provide you with some templates on this by visiting voicesforfreedom.co.nz forward slash feedback dash who dash treaties for some handy templates that will assist you in giving that feedback. Meanwhile, Kirsten Murphitt joins me now. Welcome back to the crunch, Kirsten. Good to have you back. I can. How are you? Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. Things are a little different now. Obviously you didn't make it into Parliament, but you've been busy, haven't you? I've been very, very busy. So tell us what you've been up to and then we'll discuss all of that. So basically, well, as soon as the election ended and it was clear that I wasn't getting into Parliament via the list, even though I was number two in the top 15, which was very proud of my first time running, I decided to get stuck into the international health regulations. So I started a petition and within, I think, just under three weeks, there were 26,000 signatures. Wow. So that was amazing timing and I sent it to the team, but I didn't realise that Winston was actually going to take it to the negotiation table, which he did, and we managed to get the first. I was going to ask that. I was going to ask how closely are you working still with Winston and the team at New Zealand First? I've been sending them a lot of information, but I know they're incredibly busy. So I'm here for when they're ready to reach out to me, but we're not in drink daily conversations. All right. That's cool. I mean, I've always found them very approachable. They'll take information. They might not do anything with it immediately, but it's all information and data points that they can feed into the system. So Winston put this into the negotiations and squeezed Bucksons nuts, so to speak. Well, I'm not quite sure what went on, but that's an image I can't get out of my head. So, yes, we managed to get the first of December amendment. It was actually rejected. There was a whole lot of debate about whether it was reserved or rejected under the short information act. The government's come back to me and said it was rejected. Right. So that's a good clarification, because there was a lot of people saying, oh, that doesn't, that's weasel words that that hasn't done anything. But what you're saying is that New Zealand actually rejected in total those health regulations. No, the first of December amendment, which is the reduced time frame. The time frame is 24 months and it's been reduced to 12 months. But in New Zealand's case, because we've rejected it, it's 18. Yeah, it's 18 months. Right. So so that's that's a little more time. Yeah. So what Winston has done is actually bought us more time to consider this and given it's such a significant treaty and the implications every single month we've got to get this out is a good thing. OK, just wanted to give us a recap on what all these regulations involve and why it's important that we do submit on this and we do do some of the things that you're going to suggest to listeners. So the international health regulations have been around since, I think the 1960s and there's been various amendments during the time. There were some significant amendments in 2005. And so the ones that we're dealing with at the moment, we actually referred to as the International Health Regulations 2005. Within that, they've got Article 18, which is a very important article. And that is where the COVID-19 response from around the world stem from, which had the ability to do mandating, the ability to quarantine, the ability to vaccinate. So that's already in that that's existing right now. Yeah, for some reason, they decided that the response to COVID-19 wasn't as strong as they wanted. So they decided to review. And so that was back in 2002. And all the countries that wanted to put in their submissions and two thousand and twenty two. Oh, sorry, two thousand and twenty two. You're quite right. Sorry, I was a bit confused. Maybe I need a TARDIS to get together. No, I haven't had my coffee today. Oh, no, two thousand and twenty two. I do apologize. OK. So then they compiled that. And that's what we're looking at at the moment. There's a public document which has compiled all the various amendments and that's been put out publicly. So that's what we've looked at. And there's over 300 amendments. There's some new and next years. And there's some really concerning things in there. And the way that I explain it in layman's language is that we've already had a response under Article 18. So if they're going to strengthen Article 18 and bring in more, it's going to be like COVID on steroids for the next pandemic and the hinting that there is going to be another pandemic. How they know there's going to be another pandemic, I'm not quite sure, given that they are very rare things in history. About every once every hundred years. Yeah. So I would hope not to see another one in my lifetime, although they're hinting that they probably will. So the things I'm really concerned about is under international law, you've got to have an intention, we're just like with the contract law, as you know, there's got to be an intention to create a legally binding document. Yeah. So quite often with treaties, they will actually say that they're not binding if they're not meant to be binding. So the current regulations actually have the word non binding in there for the standing recommendations and the temporary recommendations. Yeah. And under the current draft that we've seen, they've removed the word non binding. They've also put a whole lot of other stuff in there as well, which we can go through. But my biggest concern was I wrote to the ministry and said, I want to see the latest copy of the draft because the last one was released in February, two thousand and twenty twenty three, so just over a year ago. And they've been working behind closed doors since that time, having secret meetings. There's been no transparency, no due process. So I asked for a copy and I got the OIA response back on the eighth of February. And it said a copy of the latest who regulations, just shorten that, is withheld in full under section six B two of the act as its release would prejudice information and trusted to the government of New Zealand on a basis of confidentiality by international organization. But you can have the latest publicly available one, which is the old one. So how can I even do a submission if I don't know what I'm submitting on? It's fast, cool. There are ways around that. You can get questions of ministers, which are outside of the Official Information Act. Yeah. And that's one way to do it. And then I've found successful. But yeah, it sounds a bit sneaky and furtive, doesn't it? Especially when in the blurb on the website, they say it's a once in a generation, global health security reform. That's just think about that for a second. A once in a generation, global health security reform for a significant global health agreement. But I'm not allowed to see it. You're not allowed to see it. You know, in order to discuss it, you've got to work off that one. That's the old one. Yeah, but we're doing the public consultation tick. Well, I mean, I'm incredibly cynical about public consultation. You know, I've seen, especially what the last government did and in particular around firearms laws, where they had basically a week for submissions. And then if you said I want to submit in person, it was a very limited number of people who could do that. The overwhelming submissions that they had was against the regulations that they wanted to bring in, but they did it anyway. And so, you know, it can this whole process of submitting can be disheartening in many respects. But I think it's very important that people do submit because if you don't, then they turn around and say, well, we had no submissions on this. And so we've implemented what we think is good. I agree 100 percent with you on submissions, and it is very disheartening. But we need to send a very strong message to the government that we see them and we see what's going on. Yeah, hopefully with with New Zealand first in there pushing on this, we may get some actual reform around this process, seeing that submissions actually and submitters do get listened to. But we do have to do it and people have to take some time out. It might be 30 seconds. It might be 10 minutes, but people need to take time out and actually submit. Absolutely. So I've done a cheat sheet, which I've put up on my Twitter and Facebook. And I'm pretty sure voices have done something similar as well. Yes, they've got something similar where they've got some templates and some suggested responses and all of that. So as of as, you know, my grandmother used to say, many hands make light work, you're doing some work. Voices are doing some work and reality check radio amplifies that on both sides. Exactly. So so what do you what do you want our listeners to do? I want them, first of all, to submit a submission between now and Sunday. The submission was basically a survey that they have up. It's a little bit different to normal submissions. So I think we've got to admit night on Sunday night. Yeah, just get that message out there. Ask other people to do it as well. Then I want people to actually be making meetings to go and see the local politicians spreading the word amongst their friends, because lots of people don't understand what is happening. And on the 27th of May, through to the 31st of May, is the World Health Assembly annual meeting where this will be voted on. If it's voted in, it doesn't mean it's all over. We will still have another 12 months to consider. Sorry, it's 12 months, 18 months. Sorry, I always get confused because New Zealand is different. So the rest of the world has 10 and we've got 18 months to consider. So we've got the ability to opt out. And that's where we really, really need to put the pressure on. So I'm working with quite a lot of the well-known international players in this area. Yeah, they do believe that the 51% will be achieved in May. So there's over 300 amendments to the international health regulations, isn't there? That's correct. And so this is quite a complex thing for people to get their head around. But the key points would be a continuation of or an entrenching almost of the draconian regulations that were implemented worldwide for various different regimes, including the Arden regime that involve mandates and involve various different things like lockdowns and all of those sorts of things. That's all part of these amendments to strengthen that up. So there'll be no arguments. This is what you'll be doing. We know best because we are the who. Well, the strengthening whose powers and the basically transferring our ability in New Zealand to decide our public health response across to Geneva. So when they issue their recommendations, which now with non binding have been taken out, which would imply that they are now binding. Yeah, we have to follow these and then really badly drafted. So for one example, where they're talking about health products, they just put in gene therapy, but there's no definition of what gene therapy is. And I'm sure you've probably looked at the translation before as you started a high level and it drills down and you keep going down definition after definition after definition. So what does this gene therapy mean? And why are they being so vague about it? They've got probably some of the best lawyers in the world working on it. But it looks like it's been written by a person that's done one on one legal practice. It's a junior somewhere along the line. Well, they seem to be very good at other technicalities, because with section three article 55, where they were meant to release the latest draft on the 27th of January to give the state members four months to consider. That appears not to have happened. But given the OIA is saying that they're holding information from me, maybe they did actually give that information out to the state parties, but they've just haven't made it public. There's sovereignty issues at stake here, isn't there? If this all gets passed in its binding, then the who can declare a health emergency? Well, and it might not even be real. They might say there might be a public health emergency. And so we're going to do these things to try and mitigate that so that we don't end up with a public health emergency. And they can have the power then to order countries, including New Zealand, to have lockdowns, travel restrictions, forced medical examinations, mandatory vaccinations. And all the individual human rights and the rights of a country seem to be thrown out the window. And we've got this bunch of globalists led by a communist who's the head of who telling us what we can and can't do. Yes. Am I wrong in that? Essentially, you are right. It's just there is a process behind it. So it's not that we just automatically give up our sovereignty, but it's Article 59 that says we've got to integrate them into our domestic law. Just like we integrated the 2005 amendments into our domestic law. And if we don't do that, then we've actually got to report back to who within 12 months saying why we haven't. And also it's told off. Yeah, there isn't any actual financial implications or penalties at the moment, but they have been talking about that in recent years of bringing in financial penalties. So who knows what's in this latest round of amendments? Because we know who knows who who knows who who trusts to. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's I mean, that's kind of alarming if you're a freedom type person and it's bad enough that we live in a society where we've got, you know, governments that can lock us down when we're perfectly healthy, restrict where we can go, breach the Bill of Rights, make illegal acts and there's no penalties anywhere in all of that.  Well, this is a bit I'm really, really concerned about. So if who becomes the global architecture of health responses, which under the Pandemic Treaty will also include climate change, they basically own the science narrative. So that will be trickled down into the international courts and also trickled down into our domestic courts, just like it did over the mandates. We all knew that they were breaching human rights, but they were saying the science. This is the science and there is the one podium of truth. It had to, I mean, if we lived in a different environment, I don't think any of those court decisions would have come through. And this is what concerns me because if you've got a global organisation like the Who making these sorts of decisions and then you've got these little busy bodies out there like the WEF, who are advocating for digital currencies and control and all of those sorts of things. If you move those two things together, digital currencies, the ability to freeze your funds to control what you can spend money on, do all of those things. And who could say, well, you know, we're really worried about climate change here and we don't want people to fill up their car more than once every three weeks. So with a digital currency, we're just going to block you from using your card to pay for fuel. And you can only do it once every three week. They could do that, couldn't they? There's a real risk of that because one in the draft that I've seen, they talk about the vaccine passports and they want them to be digital and to be on a specific platform. And if you research further, they've actually already got a contract out with a provider. So when do we get to say that? Where is this provider? Where is our information going to be held? What are the privacy implications of that? Also, as we know, if you've got a platform, you can just tack on little bits over time. So what you're saying is actually a real possibility. So when I say things like that to people, they go, OK, I'm your batch of crazy. Don't ever do that. That's not what it's about. It's just about convenience. And you've got private companies out there now that won't accept cash anymore. There's plenty of cafe chains. They say they cash only take the full as ferry in Auckland, for example. You can't go and buy a Coke for five bucks with cash. You have to use a card. This is the real problem with treaties like this and regulations like this. If they then link digital IDs with digital currency and digital accounts and have them all linked together, they can actually literally at the press of a button shut you down. Absolutely. And I think people, even though they might say it's a conspiracy theory, look at what's happened in the last four years when I did my first open letter to government, which I think was the 25th of August 2001. I spoke about the vaccine passports and I was told I was an absolute conspiracy theorist. Oh, no, we're not going to do that. Nuts. What happened a couple of months later? Well, I mean, you know, I published on my site on the BFD. You know, Ardern, when she said there's been lots of rumors out there about lockdowns and they're not true unless you hear it from from us, you know, at the podium, it's not true. You know, we need to be very mindful of things that unless you hear it from us, then it's disinformation. It's a conspiracy theory and it's not happening.  And she was about to lock us all down because we had one case in the whole country out of five million people. We had one case. And so for that reason, you all need to stay at home. It was insane. And they all did it. And it was just a couple of days after Ted Ross is actually written personally to Ardern. And we received that under the official information at quite early on. But it was a conspiracy theory. So that's the thing is all these things that we were saying out loud.  And I got to the point where I pointed a bit of a phrase on my site saying, you know, what's the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality? And the answer I had was three months. Well, I got a bit cheekier a couple of weeks ago with the hot weather. Someone was calling me a cooker. So I just put a photo of myself and Mamberkina looking quite good going. Yeah, I'm a cooker. Yeah. Roasting nicely. Yeah. Roasting nicely. And then we had me were saying, oh, it's a very hot day today. And I'm looking at the temperature and it's 25 degrees. Like what? It's summer. Oh, no, stay inside, keep your kids inside. What? Oh, I used to, I lived in Auckland as little, but we used to always go down to my nanas and nap here at Christmas and spend like the whole Christmas holidays here and be easily 30 degrees. Like the asphalt used to melt, be so hot. Yeah, 51 years old, so I can remember my teenage years. And, you know, summer would come along and we knew that someone was here when all of the volcanic cones in Auckland turned brown and there wasn't a cloud in the sky for weeks on end. And that was what summer was like. You know, now we're told all new climate change. Exactly. But who could use these regulations to, you know, under the pretense that there's a climate emergency? Yeah, under the pandemic treaty, they've got the climate change within that. What we expect might happen because it seems strange. There's two international instruments on the table is they might have put one instrument out to be sort of a bit of a distraction. And then the instrument that's been working behind the closed doors, which is the International Health Regulations, they might be bringing that froze. They might be meshing the two documents together. So this is just really happy because it can get confusing, right? There's the pandemic agreement. Yeah, which has been called a number of different names, which confuses people. The more it's had about five different names at the moment. It's called the pandemic accord. Yeah, but you'll hear the pandemic treaty, the pandemic agreement, et cetera. And that is just the one document. Yeah. And that's. So that's when they talk about one health. Where one health who will aim to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. Yeah, there's a climate change controls right there, isn't it? Exactly. And then the International Health Regulations are existing International Health Regulations. And even though the called regulations are actually technically a treaty and they are the ones that are being amended at the moment. And we've got to be very careful because behind I mean, who when you look at the history, it probably started out as quite a good idea. And the state parties contributed, but over the years. And there's a really good documentary from 2017 that I have in my Facebook page and also on Twitter, where they look at the history of who and they look at the tobacco. So even though we knew from about 1950s, tobacco wasn't good. The who wouldn't come out because of the vested interests. Yeah. And we also look at the spine flu and also focus. Oh, what's that? So I've just lost the place in Japan, but they had the earthquake. Fukushima. Yeah, Fukushima. Sorry, I'm just so tired today. So there are so many vested interests because it's not just the state parties. State parties were through their assessed voluntary or, sorry, the assessed contribution only gives 16 percent of whose budget. And the rest of that is made up with voluntary contributions and also vested interests, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and also Garvey, which Bill and Melinda Gates also contribute to. So there's a lot of control and people that are giving the money. It doesn't just go into a pool and then there's a vote about how it's used. Whoever gives the money can say where the money is going to be used. And this is very concerning, giving that now CEPI, which is also if you just follow the money and all the links and all the people is now looking at developing a hundred day vaccines. So what we're looking at here is handing control, essentially, to the oligarchs. Pretty much in my view. And so for a small investment within who, if they can direct the money to be used in the way that they want to, it can actually be a very good investment for them. See, I can see in the future we end up with another thalidomide. And we've already got that. I believe that's where we're heading with, you know, the so-called COVID vaccines. Eventually, the weight of evidence is going to crush the ability to silence people. But in the process, billions of people have poisoned themselves at the behest of politicians who know nothing. And vested interests via the who? Well, this documentary is so interesting because it goes into politics as well and how the politicians are lobbied for want of a nicer word. Yeah. So I would recommend everyone watch that and share it with people because it shows that we're actually not nutcases. How can you find that? How can they find that document? It's on my Twitter page. I can pin it to the top and also my Facebook page. So it's called Trust Who, and it is the second one down the page. It's actually very, very difficult to find. It was available strangely on TVNZ, but they took it off then just before the pandemic. Maybe it reached its shelf life. Right. So that was a documentary is made in 2016. Yes, that's correct. So it's Trust Who as one word. Yeah. And so if they just Google Trust Who with one word, you should be able to get information about where to watch that. Yeah, it is on YouTube. But as I said, it's difficult to find. So it looks like it's on Vimeo as well. OK, great. Yeah. So it does come up when you search. Oh, great. Yeah. So Trust Who one word and put the word documentary after it. And you'll be able to find it. So yeah, people should watch that. Now, what else do you want them to do? Kirsten, you are one by one man band. So to speak, one woman band pushing this. Actually, I'm not now. Yeah. So apart, you know, there are people in New Zealand that are helping voices for freedom, obviously. But, you know, you're out there very vocal on this.  Yeah, I have been quite vocal. I'm talking to a well-known New Zealander at the moment and we're planning a little project. So that's been worked on background. So hopefully the next couple of weeks, there will be an announcement. I'm also looking about whether we do a referendum. There's pros and cons of doing a referendum. Lots of people would love me to do a referendum of Exit the Who. The pros are, well, it would be amazing if we achieved it. But I think it's going to be hard to get a lot of New Zealanders on board with that, because most New Zealanders don't understand the issues. Yeah, I need to get 10 percent of the voting population to sign. It's hard. So we've got just over 3.6 registered of million, obviously, and voters sort of have to get over 360,000 signatures. Yeah, 380 or so to to weed out any fake ones or anything like that. Yeah, it's easy to do. No, it's not. And then even if we got that, government doesn't have to do anything about it. So I actually think it'll be better for me to focus on the international health regulations, which seem to be going through, because we can show people without any conspiracy theories, lack of transparency or lack of rule of law, there's been no forecasting about how much this is going to cost. And one overseas study has said that it's going to cost one hundred and twenty four billion dollars per nation to implement. I think the average Joe blog on the streets can understand that. So I think it's probably going to be more successful to go on that avenue and via doing that avenue. They will learn other information about who is well. So this is put this into perspective, right? One hundred and twenty four billion dollars, most people's eyes glaze over when they hear numbers like that. But let's say we have a pallet and we have a million dollars cash on that pallet. That's one hundred and twenty four thousand pallets of cash. It's huge. All right, that's one hundred and twenty four pallets of a million dollars lined up to get one hundred and twenty four billion. For a pandemic that may or may not happen. And in my lifetime, I've been very rare. Well, in my lifetime, there's only been one. And there's not many people who were around and in 1918 for the flu pandemic. No. And again, you know, we were told there was, you know, all of these things was going to be terrible. All these people are going to die. And, you know, we needed to save 80,000 people and we didn't even get close. Exactly. I was reading something from Helen Clark yesterday, because I've been doing a bit of a retro thing on my Twitter. Better you than me. Yeah. And she was saying 20 people a day would die. And this is in 2022.  I know. This is the joke of it, right? During the pandemic, we had no deaths from influenza. And when in any given year, there's normally about five hundred. Well, how did that happen? How did we go from five hundred a year to none? Would did the flu cease to exist? Of course not. Of course not. You know, it was it was farcical. But they've just brainwashed so many people and indoctrinated, like when my husband, as you know, he's been sick and another emergency trip last August to the hospital. It was clear he could not breathe. As he'd been diagnosed with heart failure, I knew it was his heart. The triage nurse wanted to put a mask on him. And I went, why would you put a mask on a man that can't breathe? That's got heart failure. And then they wanted to do a COVID test. And I was like, no, you take this man through to emergency now. And as soon as I saw him, they tried to bring us. I had a similar experience, not as drastic, obviously. I stood up in the middle of the night and blacked out. And on the way down, I hit the sink and covered him blood and everything. I went into the hospital and while I was in the hospital in the emergency area, you know, they said, oh, you need to put a mask on.  You know, I've got a problem with that. I'm pretty dehydrated, all of that. They couldn't put a line in me. So I knew that I was dehydrated because they couldn't see any veins or anything like that to stick a needle in me. And then I passed out again there and they chucked me on to a bed. And I'm told this by somebody who was with me. And at the same time they did that while I was unconscious.  Right. And then, you know, six hours later after an X-ray and a CT scan, all of this was going on, then they declare to me that now you've got covid. And then they locked me in a room by myself at the hospital. Well, I checked myself out in the next day because I felt better. They came to me and said, oh, you know, we'll give you packs of it. I said, that's all right. I've got my own stuff. Well, what's that? And I said, oh, I have a mekton and next morning I was a box of birds and I checked myself out of the hotel and out of the hospital. And walked out. Yeah, I was glad you got out there.  But just coming back to the IHRs, one thing that does consume me as well is I wrote to Crown Law and said, I want to see all the legal advice that you've given government about whether it affects our sovereignty or not. And how does it affect our treaty obligations? So all the Maori and people that are concerned about treaty at the moment, you might be quite interested to say they with how the information from me, they said client privilege and free and frank advice. And then they said they hadn't even considered the treaty obligations. But here's the thing, though. We know from the regulations that they're talking about gene therapy, right? It states it in. Well, that has huge implications for the concept of whakapapa, doesn't it? Wouldn't the Maori like to ask what actually gene therapy, what it's going to be defined as? And why hasn't the Crown considered the treaty obligations in relation to this once in a generation, global health, security reform? Their words not mine. Well, it's a bit of a concern. We need people to submit on your Twitter and on your Facebook. You've got some links for some templates. Voices for freedom have similar templates. We need people between now and midnight Sunday. Was that correct? Midnight Sunday? Great, yes. To take some time out, fill out those submissions, get them in there, because if we don't, if we don't speak up, then we could end up in a worse position than we've already experienced under the COVID tyranny of Ardern. Exactly. And I think just talking to your neighbours. Well, we're not allowed to do that. I know, that's why I was laughing, because I did that post. But just talking, but just not making it as detailed as you may know, just making it very simple for people that are newbies, like just keeping it 101 and saying, look, do you think it's right for the government to ask submissions, but they won't give us the document on the basis to submit? And I think the average Kiwi is going to say, no, that's crazy. And then you can go, well, that's actually what's happening with these international health regulations. Or do you know how much it's going to cost to implement them? And we might be signing up to something and we don't even know how much it's going to cost after the government spent all this money on COVID. Do you think that's right? Just getting it real simple. Just get people interested and engaged. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. I'm suspicious of governments at the best of times. I've spent a lifetime being in and around politicians. And so my mother taught me to have a healthy distrust of them. Yeah. I can see a scenario here where they get all these submissions and then they turn around and say, well, people have submitted on the wrong document. And so we'll just ignore all of those. But I can honestly see some bureaucrat having that brilliant idea. I mean, there's been documentaries written about how they... But it's not so brilliant when they've actually given it to me in writing. That's what they're doing. Yeah. Well, you know. Yeah. So I will send that to Winston tonight. There's a famous documentary, Yes, Minister, which showed everybody how these guys work. They're like conjurers.   Exactly. They're just moving these shells around and tricking you into thinking you're engaging with them. And actually, you're not. But we have to engage because that's the process. So I'm thinking if anyone's going to need brilliant marketing, I'm just a mere lawyer. I'm not a marketer. I don't have that creative side. Just get in touch with me because I'm going to need... We've got time, even if it does get past in May. We've still got time. We don't need to panic completely. But we need to raise public awareness very quickly. Yep. So some person might better help me do a website. Some person might have some great slogan. Some one might want to make t-shirts. So I don't care. Like I'm not doing this for money at all. I don't want anything out of it. I just want to raise public awareness. Right. Well, there's plenty of listeners to this show that will be appreciative of your efforts. Thank you. And I'm sure we can... There will be people out there that will offer their time and skills. There's plenty of people that I know who listen to the show that have got the ability to build websites and do that sort of thing. Graphic artists come up with snappy designs, even little handouts with bullet points that people can use to talk to their neighbours or talk to people. That would be amazing. Like I can help with the wording and then they can turn it into Lehmann's wording. Yeah, that's the important thing. This can get really bogged down in technical details, legalese, health jargon, all of that sort of thing. We actually need to keep it real and keep it simple so people can understand. Exactly. The bottom line is that this appears to be a power grab by the who and vested interests who fund the who to rest control away from ordinary citizens and their governments. Exactly. And what I always say is if we don't transfer our decision-making across there, we can still follow their recommendations, but we get to choose whether we follow them or not. Or whether we want a different approach. We're an island. Like we're not dangerous to anyone. We can stop, close our borders in a real pandemic if we needed to. Very easily. Yeah. One can land their planes and no one can land their boats. Yeah. We've got our boats. There's no leads and no James Cameron. See, this is the thing that I sit here thinking, do we need to do something about this? You know, because I look at the United States, for example, and people think, oh, the United States will agree to this. Well, they actually can't agree to it. They might agree to it at a federal level, but they can't actually force the individual states. And this is what people don't understand about the United States. Each one of those states, whether it's California or Idaho or Texas or New Mexico, actually individual countries by law who have created a federal level above their country to say, well, we're going to work together as a team. And we're going to have a federal government over the top of that. But you can't tell us what to do. We'll pass our own laws. Thank you very much, which is why you saw Florida having no lockdowns, why you saw Texas having no lockdowns. And ironically, having the lowest incidences of COVID, it's the same time. That's why you see these different states getting different results. You've got the complete mess in California, where they went completely over the top. Draconian rules and regulations didn't didn't help them at all. Opposed to states that are more freedom-loving. And so I have this hope. And hopeium is a really bad thing to be addicted to. But I have this hope that it'll be the United States that says to the who we're not having a bar of that. And if we get an election this year in the United States, we could we could see a change of resonant. I can't see Donald Trump signing up to the who I can see. Given that he tried to get out of the hope. Yeah, exactly. So I have this hope. And it might be a forlorn hope, but it's hoping nonetheless that it'll be the United States that puts the handbrake on a lot of this stuff. Yeah, we've got a couple of MPs in Britain, some in Ireland, some in Australia speaking out. Come on, New Zealand. We've had a change of government. We don't want this draconian control. We rejected that comprehensively at the election. So so we should be rejecting this as well. Exactly. So yeah, just get the word out if you've got any skills that can help me get in contact. But please don't contact me just because you've got a video to send me. You've probably already seen it. Yeah, and I've probably already received it about 20 or 30 times. So what you've like I understand that it is great people to do that. But yeah, just I am working for free on this and also have a life and have a business to run as well. So I do need to use my time wisely. Well, it's been a pleasure having you on the crunch again, Kirsten. We'll have to touch base again on the progress on this because it's an issue that interests me from a freedom perspective. Cool. I'll be I'll let you know when we've got a big announcement to make soon. All right. Well, you're welcome on my show any time. Great. Thanks, Cam. Thanks. Yeah. Bye.

And by our side, now stakeholders have asked the federal government to take proactive steps towards end-and-corruption and epileptic power supply in the country. It is believed that what we use in place here would be robust private sector development. Our correspondent, Jesse SA, reports that the stakeholders also have a good road network and a better business environment. Privatization involves the transfer of a business, industry, service or means of production from public to private control. The reason for this is the shared belief that privately run businesses are subject to the discipline of market forces and therefore more efficient. However, efforts by successive administrations in privatization are yet to yield the expected result. The stakeholders believe it is time for the federal government to take the backseat and create the enabling environment for full-scale industrialization and privatization, starting with the provision of constant power. Governments ask the basic responsibility to create a conducive environment for businesses to strive for investors to come and invest. Like good roads, power, good laws, you can see all the refineries in this country, which of them is working. They will tell you, so-so-so amount that when budgeted they are doing this, we are doing that, turnaround maintenance, turnaround maintenance, every year you have millions of dollars and all that. What is coming out of it? In the private sector, of course, is business. You know what it means for you to have a business to manage it? The place of efficiency is number one and government will benefit more the taxes that will be coming to the government to accrue into, you know, the hijack of the process is blamed for the slow result in privatization because most of the things that have been privatized have been privatized to the Nigerian government, the Nigerian officials by themselves. Why not look out for private companies, private individuals, captains of industries to say, please, we are privatizing this thing, the same thing with the power sector, if that privatizes this power sector to individuals, I mean not the politicians of Nigeria, but other persons who have the capacity and the resources to run these private sectors. I think Nigeria will be a win-win, but look at it now. With another general election approaching, citizens are asked to look critically and elect the right leaders who can fix Nigeria's economic problems, just CSA plus TV News, private


For almost ten years, the Legion riders of Minnesota have been conducting fundraising rides within the state. This year, Legionnaires from all over the world will gather in Minnesota to celebrate the Legion Centennial in Minneapolis, the site of the first National Convention. The group is trying to raise $250,000 this year, and part of their ride took them to the Brainard American Legion post. That happened this past Sunday, and Saturday, and our cameras were there. Shortly after the events of 9-11, the National Leadership of the American Legion set up a scholarship fund, because they realized that American soldiers, Marines, sailors, would be going into combat again. They knew it was coming, and unfortunately, when you have combat, you have casualties. They set up the casualty funds, or accept the scholarship funds, to provide scholar persistence to children of those military members who passed away on active duty since 9-11. Starting in 2017, the scholarship funds were opened up to include the children of military members disabled 50% or more in the post-9-11 era. Since 2014, Minnesota has been the top donor in the country to the Legacy Scholarship Fund every year.

It's kind of like at the I don't know how it works I'm just kind of going off when I'm assuming. Yeah, I do not know how this works They're at the end of the first round. There's like four or five competitive balance picks and I would assume Again, if somebody knows just correct me because I again, I'm speaking completely off of what I assume they are It's I think I feel like they'd be similar to compensatories in the NFL Like if you lose a big free agent you get like an additional You know like if you lose a big free agent or you lose a coach or something you get an additional between third and sixth round pick Yeah Yeah, that's why I like That's why like if you do 32 times 732 teams seven rounds to only 224 And there's 254 picks. So there's additional there's additional 30 compensatories that get awarded based on now if you fire It doesn't matter if you if you fire you don't it's if like say Like I'm sure the Eagles got one when Psychon went to Indianapolis like that's how if you lose a coordinator goes to another job like we got one when David Cully was got hired by the the Texans.

Ladies and gentlemen silent mic back with another video today. We're going to talk about cardio Cardio may be during cuts, but more importantly cardio.  Should you do cardio in a bulk and is there maybe such thing as too much cardio or is it affecting me negatively if you guys Want to dive into this thing do me a favor give this thing a thumbs up It helps me a lot subscribe new videos Monday Wednesday Saturday new podcast 50% facts We're tackling the hardest questions and getting the best answers From the world's leading experts on fitness nutrition business life So be sure to check out 50% facts on itunes spotify anywhere you want to go and I'm on twitch every single night Twitch.tv slash silent mic with two K's. Let's hop in so a common common question When should I do cardio? Why should I do cardio and will it affect my lifts and what I'm getting into? And I imagine the majority of you guys are either into some kind of strength sport Whether you compete in powerlifting or not You're just interested in getting stronger and maybe to squat the bench press and deadlift I also imagine that the majority of you guys want to look good, but not be Weak not be skinny and small. No one wants to be skinny fat. Everyone wants to have some muscle, but still have some definition if your goals are Primarily strength It might be a little bit different than if your goals are primarily aesthetics or if you're stepping on stage for bodybuilding So we're gonna kind of eliminate Competitive bodybuilding and we're going to talk about general strength powerlifting maybe even weightlifting strongman And then also what you guys need to know for your cardio bulk A lot of people bash West Side Barbell and Louis Simmons who was a very popular coach Strength and conditioning coach powerlifting coach in the geared powerlifting age He still has a ton of knowledge and a ton of things we can take from him Although not everything I think he says applies to the raw lifter or the lifter now in 2019 I do think there's a lot of knowledge base that he has That can be used and shouldn't be ignored and one of the biggest things he preaches about is GPP general physical preparedness which basically means that there's a base level of fitness how in shape you are For your sport and in shape again depends on the specificity of your sport, but we're talking about base Can you breathe a little bit? Are you generally strong? Mobile etc in that base the GPP depends on your sport In my opinion powerlifting might be one of the lowest GPP sports in the world where counter to that Soccer or basketball might be one of the highest GPP sports, right? You have to not only be fast You have to have good endurance. You have to have good agility. You have to have a good vertical jump You have to be resilient you have to Be strong enough to handle some contact in those sports obviously football is way up there as well There's a bunch of contact a little bit of sprinting Some endurance a lot of strength and a lot of agility and mobility But when we're talking about strength athletes getting stronger getting better at power lifting We still need to be able to recover from our sets from our workload and some cardio will help that now How much is too much and how much will be detrimental to you or your progress? kind of depends on the individual their lifestyle and Somewhat of their genetics and how far into the sport they are the more advanced you get You're probably going to be more specific into the sport But as a beginner being able to you know run a mile or ride a bike for 20 minutes and not get out of breath is going to be huge It will help also as you get further down the road, but Your loads and you'll be so specific in your training that you'll be prepared for that I think for general health cardio is going to be amazing no matter what obviously It's training of your heart your bloods your your lungs and that's going to help live longer And obviously I think it has a lot of mental and physical benefits for me mentally riding my bike commuting to work Commuting to the gym commuting around town has helped me in a lot of ways Think more clearly and obviously shed some fat. I'm in a pretty decent place right now. I'm not bulking I'm not cutting, but I'm paying attention to my nutrition I'm lifting pretty dang hard and adding in that neat that Little bit of cardio the little bit of extra energy a day has allowed me to become leaner While still maintaining if not gaining some of my strength back in both powerlifting and weightlifting When you're bulking obviously the cardio won't be as important Because we're doing cardio while we're cutting trying to get leaner to burn more energy So we can eat a little bit more while still being in a calorie deficit But while you're bulking keeping in some kind of cardio, so then You can recover sometimes a light walk a light bike does a lot for circulation again mentally and physically And allows you to recover from that training and allows you to handle more volume in training Although the lifting you know 10 sets of 2 on deadlift and going for a 20-minute bike ride are very different energy systems and very different skills They can complement each other if you can't Ride a bicycle or go for a walk for half an hour and you're trying to do you know 10 sets of 2 at 80% on your deadlift It's going to be much more difficult than if you have the work capacity the general endurance Muscular endurance to handle that bike ride or go up some stairs, etc. etc How much is too much too much is probably just when you start to feel too fatigued and can't Accomplish your lifting now That's when we have to figure out our priorities if we just want to be healthy you have fun and lift some heavyweights I'm not going to tell you to ever stop cardio or playing sports But if your goal is purely to get stronger then you might have to dial back You might not be able to play in that you know team soccer league on Tuesdays and the weekend warrior basketball league on Saturday Some of that may just leave you too fatigued as calories sleep And how much we can recover all of that is just different stimulus and it all just takes different Energy to recover from it. And so we only have one system that we're basically Using to recover. It's not like we have a cardio energy system what we do, but you guys are getting the analogy here I don't want to get too much in detail It's not like we have a recovery for endurance and a recovery for musculature all of it is stimulus and all of it can Fatigue us so if you're too fatigued from a basketball game, it should be pretty obvious that your deadlifts aren't going to go as well But if we have a nice layer of cardio throughout our week three to maybe even five times a week Kind of lower intensity stuff keeping your heart rate good Well still being able to accomplish all the sets and reps you want to do in training Tracking our calories. You should be all set. I do suggest you do some kind of conditioning What matters what type that's going to have to be you and figuring it out I can't coach all of you individually with your goals and your history But I prefer something kind of low intensity something good where I can kind of think I can kind of zone out And it doesn't affect my body if I was doing sprints Shuttle sprints or sled sprints all the time my legs would probably be very fatigued from all the squatting and weightlifting I'm doing we're going for a bike ride is the perfect mix for me I get to be outdoors get a little sunshine and Still get that cardio in get a little sweat Hopefully that helps you guys figure out if cardio is being detrimental if it's messing up your gains Hope you like the video give this thing a thumbs up sign the mic. I'm out of here. Catch you Monday Wednesday Saturday. Thanks y'all


A prophet doesn't tell the future. A prophet tells the truth. They don't tell you what's going to happen. They tell you what needs to happen right now. So what are you waiting for? Let your inner prophet speak.


Alright, so you want to do well on your rotations, you want to do well on your shelf exam and you actually want to remember what you learn on your clinical rotations, well then you may be asking, what resources should I use to help me do that? It's exactly what we'll break down in this video. Let's get into it. Alright guys, welcome to the MD journey, a channel completely dedicated to helping students just like you succeed on their medical journey with less stress through videos about how to study, how to be more efficient, as well as how to do well on your clinical rotation. So if you're new here, consider subscribing because we're putting out multiple videos each week and also consider hitting that like button to just let me know that you like content and want more like this in the future. And as a bonus, if you're interested in how to officially learn your medical material and kind of think like a doctor and make sure you stay to the very end to have a pretty cool announcement, let's get into some of the top resources to help you on your clinical rotations to get those honored, but also more importantly, actually remember what you learned today for the long haul. So one of my favorite resource to use to learn most essential skills that you may need as a physician, such as how do you read an EKG or how do you interpret a chest x-ray, things that you really don't learn well in medical school unless you get a good amount of practice. One of my favorite go to blogs and resources is life in the fast lane.com. So this was a website that I've talked about plenty of times on this channel that was originally designed to help emergency medicine physicians, residents, but really is a resource for all doctors of all kinds. So if you go to something as simple as EKGs, as you can see, you can essentially either quiz yourself or learn some of the most basic skills possible. Like how do you interpret a P wave? How do you interpret the rhythm? And it's just a huge resource to be able to evaluate things like how do you know if somebody has a large left atrium or a large right atrium? What's the difference? What do the EKGs look like? And as you go through more EKGs, as you kind of learn through the EKGs of your patients, you may find that it says patient has a large left atrium, but you really don't know what about that EKG points you to it. So you can use resources like life in the fast lane to have a whole section where they show you multiple examples on what leads to look at as well as different EKGs that you can kind of compare and contrast. And the beauty of this is every future EKG you have, you can eventually get better at that skill. I'm great now at looking for left ventric life, hypertrophy, left atrial abnormalities. But it's just because I've done so many examples on life in the fast lane as a medical student, as well as now as a resident. And life in the fast lane is not just about EKGs. You can also learn some really important skills at chess x-rays. One of my favorite things to do even to today is making myself go through the various chess x-ray quizzes where they present to you a case as well as a chess x-ray and you have to try to see if you can interpret and find the most common abnormalities. So for example, here is an x-ray of a 79 year old who comes in complaining of increased dyspnea. And then we have a chess x-ray from today, as well as a chess x-ray that this patient had from a year ago. And you can essentially compare and contrast what is going on and seeing if you can then find all of the abnormalities that they notice in their interpretation. And one of my favorite things about these x-rays is that it doesn't just tell me what's wrong with this one. So for example, this patient has an enlarged cardiac silhouette. Their heart is a little bit bigger here than it was before a year ago. But the bonus is that usually they have some clinical pearls and at times it's a PowerPoint slide of other x-rays that look like this. That way you can get more practice doing pattern recognition and looking at other x-rays that are abnormal and normal and being able to also understand when you should be concerned and what type of things you should be considering. So I've done this before with things like enlarged cardiac cellulets. I've done this with people who have lung masses and being able to identify them on your x-rays. And it's just a little bit of practice that you get better at over time the more you do. And as you may have noticed, they already have more than 150 different chess x-rays, so that's a lot of practice and you can become really good, really fast. Now make sure to add the links to all these resources that I mentioned throughout the video down below. So make sure you check those out. Now another resource I've also talked about on this channel but it's super effective, especially if you're trying to get practice doing EKG. Sliving the fast lane is great because it kind of teaches you the essentials and basics and it shows you many different examples. Maybe you just want to see an EKG and see if you can see all the abnormalities as well as all the things that are correct with it and potentially coys yourself on what you would do next for that patient. So one of my favorite resources is to do this. And I do this during like downtime, during residency where I'm just waiting for my attending to come. I may just do one or two EKGs on a website called EKG Wave Maven. And again, I'll link that down below. But it's a beautiful resource of intermediate, difficult as well as some easy EKGs. So that way you can get some practice of not only seeing one abnormality but seeing all of them in one collective picture and understanding what does that mean for the patient, what's going on and what should I be concerned about. So for example here, you can go ahead and just say view a random case. You can click kind of your level of expertise and you can click continue and you're going to be shown an EKG which you can go ahead and also increase in terms of your resolution and then coys yourself like what's the rate? Do I see P waves? What's the axis? What type of abnormalities? Do I see there's a T wave over here and large? And then eventually go ahead and coys yourself on what you think the answers will be. And the beauty of these explanations that it's really nice and detailed to tell you what the normal things are, what the abnormal things are, what to look for in each different lead. After doing a few of these, you find yourself becoming really good at identifying those little pieces of patterns that really do make the whole kind of situation of what the patient may have. So you get really good at looking at hypertrophy in the left ventricle or the array or finding P waves, things that are really difficult unless you do a few of them consecutively. So next resource which is used by a lot of medical students and residents in positions is uptoday.com. Now most people use this as kind of a short kind of reference Wikipedia kind of tool for medicine and trying to understand how should I understand this medication, how long does it last or how should I interpret or work up a certain disease process. But it's really used as a bite-sized piece of reference material for most people on their medical journey. But I kind of like to use it a little bit differently. So one of the first things that I will do is actually make a list of the topics that I've either heard about during the week or throughout the month or the rotation. And I realize that they are something that I'd be uncomfortable with if I was quizzed on it, if I was pinned on it or if it showed up on a future exam. So one of the things I'll do to fill that gap in my knowledge is I'll pull up up to date but I'll also go ahead and pull up like a note taking app such as OneNote or Notion or Evernote, whatever maybe Microsoft Word. And then I usually try to almost create like a huge outline on that one topic as if I was going to teach it to my medical students now. And it's a great way for me to go ahead and learn a whole topic using an amazing resource because up to date it has lots of references and percentages and kind of a nice breakdown and algorithms, but it also gives me kind of a big picture of you of how to understand the topic. So if I'm trying to teach somebody about renal tuberculosis, you may not learn about that very frequently or get enough practice unless you're a nephrologist. So one of the things I'll go ahead and do is just type in renal tubular acidosis and just pull up the most common example and then just briefly read about this and make notes on OneNote or Notion, something that I could have on my phone and then practice teaching that to either my fellow med students if I was still on my clinical rotations or now actually to my medical students as a resident. So it's a different way of using up to date. I still definitely use it as just a quick reference tool but this way it actually forces me to learn the whole library of information on one topic. And then I attempt to go ahead and teach that in a nice concise kind of chalk talk. So I have a few more resources to share but if you are going into your clinical rotations or if you're doing your clinical rotations already and you want a step-by-step approach on honoring every single one, I have a program that you guys can check out down below. It's called Crushing Clinicals which a lot of students and YouTube viewers in the past have actually been able to use and benefit in getting their ideal grades as well as their ideal residency spot. So that'll be linked down below. Now number four on my list of top resources to use on your clinical rotations is a book called Pocket Medicine. And this is a series, so they have their own versions for ICU, pediatrics and I'm sure others such as emergency medicine but I really recommend that you go ahead and just grab the internal medicine one. It's usually an orange or a purple book and just kind of keep it on the side of your white coat. The reason for this is that regardless of what rotation you're on, there's just so much bread and butter medicine that shows up on all of them. And so it's important to have a resource and just kind of quickly refer to and get the information you need. Now have an interesting way of using pocket medicine so if you're on your internal medicine rotation or something in medicine related, this may work for you but basically every time that I would experience or admit a patient with a certain problem, let's say asthma or pancreatitis or heart failure, even if I've taken care of that patient before, I'll go ahead and just flip through the pocket medicine section on that particular main problem. The beauty of this is that every time I do it, I always find something that I've forgotten or something that I need to remember to consider this specific patient. And again, just like your EKGs or your test x-rays, just get so much better at pattern recognition and that practice eventually becomes a little bit master. You know what labs to order, what things to consider, what scoring systems to use as well as what medications to use to treat that patient in the long run. And the ultimate effect of all of this is that you look more confident in front of your team, your residents you're attending, but you actually understand these topics. So if you were to see a patient in a year or two from now, when you yourself are in residency, you'll actually feel comfortable taking care of them. And my final resource that I love using on my rotations and I recommend that you do the same are pre-made Anki cards. Now, if you loved using Anki flashcards in your first and second year of medical school, you may be trying to use the same on your third year, but you by no means have to make your own.  So honestly, just take the effort that others have put in and making their own flashcards and use these to study for yourself exams. I'll link down a few that I have and sometimes the links will go and come. So apologies if they don't work, just let me know in the comment section down below. But they're great for studying for each individual shelf exam as well as studying for things like step two CK. But those guys are some of my favorite resources to help you not only do well on all of your rotations and to build some of the essential skills like reading EKGs, chess x-rays and more, but also just becoming a competent future physician. That way you can use these skills, have that long-term retention. And by the time you're in residency, you can feel a little bit more comfortable than a lot of your peers. But if you do want to help on your individual rotation, if you want more tips on pediatrics, surgery, you want to know what best resources to use, how to study for your shelf exams, as well as how to impress your attendings, I'll link down below a program that we have on the empty journey called Crushing Clinicals. And many viewers through YouTube and the podcast have gone through it already. And they found that not only are they more confident and just less anxious on their rotations, but they're doing better, getting better evaluations. And a lot of our former students have been able to use that into getting into their number one residency spot. So I'll link that down below in case you kind of want a more step-by-step approach. And finally, at the start, I did mention a bonus about how to kind of think like a doctor how to perceive different clinical problems and become efficient when you do have to learn a new bit of information. So one of the exciting announcements that I have for the empty journey is I'm essentially creating a new series of videos where I will be teaching now different topics such as heart failure, pulmonology, different things that you will be seeing in the hospital as both a medical student as well as a resident. So if you want a nice, efficient way of how to think like a physician, go into a patient's room and be able to tackle a lot of the unknowns and a lot of the topics that may make you feel uncomfortable if you didn't have a multiple choice exam in front of you. That's exactly what this series has been to do. So if you guys are interested, I'm not sure when this video will come out, based off of when the program will come out, but I'll link it down below and that way you guys can get some more information. And definitely comment in the comment section below. Let me know what topics you want me to cover in this new series, what topics are really confusing to you and you wish somebody just made them easier, things like antibiotics, promise, I got you. But if you did make it this far in this video, first of all, make sure you hit that like button. It really helps both the video, the YouTube channel, and again, it tells me that you like this piece of content and I appreciate your support for doing so. That's basically gonna be it for this video guys. Thank you so much for watching. Make sure you hit that subscribe button if you haven't done so already. Appreciate you guys joining me on my journey. Hopefully that was a little help to you on yours. I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace.


I'm a proud Indigenous Australian from the Camila Roo tribe. Sadly, I've lost many close family members to diabetes. This is what drove my interest in public health. Last year I became full-time carer for my grandmother. This really increased stresses around time and finances, which made me question my ability to continue my studies. Thankfully, this scholarship meant I could continue being a full-time student. I don't take this generosity lightly. I plan to pay it full. When I graduate, I plan to bring greater awareness on the severity of diabetes in the Indigenous community.
