"And CBDC is taking us one step further, to take that fiat system, basically take everything that is bad about fiat and add more surveillance control, more censorship and more enforcement capabilities to the money that we know today, okay. So CBDC is like the improvement of the fiat system. It's fiat on steroids, that's how I call it." Alistair Harding speaks with independent Israeli journalist Efrat Fenigson about CBDCs and Bitcoin, and why there is hope of preventing total digital control.

"So the Conservative Party of course, hasn't really helped itself in the last few years. We've had four leaders in the space of four years. So again, it's not been a very stable Conservative Party, a lot of in house fighting that's gone on even, in the last year or so, lots of resignations, lots of, I think, maybe complacency in 14 years of power." Sunil Sharma, political commentator from the Global Conservative Coalition calls in to discuss the recent UK Elections.

"A lot of New Zealanders don't understand that if police want to raid a gang house, to go after drugs or anything else, they need a search warrant from a judge to approve that. If you're a licensed firearms owner, you give up that right... and I don't see how that can be deemed an appropriate thing that the rest of New Zealand should be happy with as a precedent." Hugh Devereux-Mack, spokesperson for the Council of Licenced Firearms Owners and marketer for NZ Deerstalkers Association joins Cam to discuss the challenges faced for gun owners in NZ and what the Firearms Act could mean.

"I can't believe she even said that! My God, she's supposed to be a Prime Minister for all the people, and saying she doesn't care about forming two classes of people. I don't understand their attitude. They are not representing the people of your nation." Senator Pauline Hanson joins Simon to discuss the new Digital ID and Mis and Dis-Information Bills. They chat about Australia's Covid Inquiry and her views on AUKUS.

"There's another thing we know, about half of all primary school teachers basically, didn't pass Fifth Form maths, and they're teaching it! Well, it's just 58% that didn't pass, haven't got Fifth Form science, and it's a bit lower than that, but under 50% haven't got the maths and 14% couldn't pass Fifth Form English."

"I just couldn't help but laugh because I just thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Like, "Good luck with that", is what I said. You know, it's so deep, the trust that has been broken with a lot of people. I did offer that I thought that, a step in the right direction, as a beginning would be some serious apologies and also for accountability to be seen to be done publicly."

"So one day they simply said no more cash and your notes are not worth anything anymore, and you can't use them anywhere. And the citizens took to the streets and they started demonstrating. Many people became hungry and some people died because they couldn't survive without cash and very quickly it became chaos."

"So she'd been diagnosed since she was caught, with complex post traumatic stress disorder and prolonged duress stress disorder. I've got to tell you, this upsets me.

"So the total number of New Zealanders that left, was 80 something thousand, 85,000, I believe. And the net number of New Zealanders that left was about 60,000. And that's simply because some New Zealanders come back. So there's a difference between the net number of New Zealanders who left and the total number of New Zealanders who left. But in both cases, those were record numbers of New Zealanders leaving." William McGimpsey returns to share his view on free speech issues, the latest immigration numbers from Stats NZ, and the National Conservative conference in Washington.

"Well before Wuhan, there was a pandemic occurring that in the end will be more lethal than the communist Chinese one. A pandemic of infantilism, arrested development, the retention of childish, physical, mental, or emotional qualities in adult life. I have tried to draw attention to the fact that nowhere is this pandemic more manifest than in speech."

"And what they said in their coalition agreements that were, they would defend the principle that New Zealanders are equal before the law and that they, the coalition will not advance policies that seek to ascribe different rights and responsibilities to New Zealanders on the basis of their race or their ancestry... if the Iwi representative on the expert panels is not on the basis of race, then I don't know what it is."

"It stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training. So once they fall out of the school system, many of them end up just socially isolated in their rooms, playing video games all day, and it's often neurodiversity or mental health challenges or trauma. Often it's trauma and there aren't systems out there to really help and support them."

"And my mum and dad were completely reasonable in what they wanted for me. And it hurt, it hurt for them every step along the way to see my body change, to see parts of it get removed. To see me basically be transformed into somebody who I wasn't, somebody completely unrecognisable over the course of the last few years, it was so incredibly painful and traumatic for my mum and dad." In a Breakfast special report, Maree Buscke speaks with American teenage de-transitioner Chloe Cole about her journey to transgender and back again, and her critique of the dangers of gender medicine.

"I think they do not like to see anybody that stood up against Jacinda Ardern's Government as human. So they need to create, no matter what experience you're going through, no matter the trauma that you've been through, they don't actually care about that. They just need to still maintain that narrative that you're actually not an acceptable human to society." Chantelle Baker joins us to tell us first-hand about her shocking experience of extreme road rage, all with an infant in the back seat.

"If you don't deal with the relationship with your body, and you are hating on yourselves, you're more likely to hate on others, which then creates more trauma, it becomes eww, right? But it's a chicken or the egg sort of thing. What do you deal with first?"

"They take the $90, they keep $10 and they give the next $80 to the next person in line. And so very, very quickly, out of a $100, you can create $10,000 in no time. And that's the ability of the fractional reserve system of the commercial banking system. Now, 96% of the money in circulation is being created like that."
