WEBVTT - Inflation Reduction Act Is Weaponized Against You!

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Markmas Show, where,

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of course each end, every week we come and we

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about the decentralized revolution, the way the world is

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>changing right now, right before our very eyes. We're living

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>through a period that will be discussed in history books

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>for millennia to come. UM. It is that groundbreaking um,

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.159
<v Speaker 1>much like we talk about the Protestant Reformation in the

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>fift hundreds, or the American Revolution in the seventeen hundreds, UM,

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>or the collapse of the Roman empirement. I mean, it's

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that big what we're witnessing as the world, as the

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>pendulum swings from centralization to decentralization, and we look at

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, those three pieces.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course, technology is the big disruptor that changes history

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 1>as we go back and look through it. And at

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the time when we're going from a centralized world to

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a decentralized world, revolution and force. We have the technology

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that decentralized technology, that is bitcoin, that is changing the world.

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But of course we look at it through the lens

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of those three things, politics, finance, and technology. Those are

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the revolutions that are happening and changing right before our

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>very eyes, right under our very feet. Um, it's happening

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>faster than we can even keep tracking. I make content

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>almost every single day, and I can't keep up with

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>how fast things are going. And of course I try

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to bring to you some of the latest breaking news,

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>some of some education to help you see the world

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different, and of course some very interesting guests.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to listen to me, in my opinion,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>all the time. But today I want to talk about

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>something that happened this week. Monumental, that's what it was called.

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It was called monumental. It may be the biggest thing

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that's ever happened. Apparently that's what well, that's what we're

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>led to believe. It's politics, and it's finance, and of

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>course it changed the world. And what I'm talking about

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>today is this uh, brand new bill that was put

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>forward um this week. It was signed. Everybody got together

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and clapped while the President looked like he didn't know

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>where he was at. Um and Uh, this monumental bill

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that's called the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it's monumentous, monumental,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it's so big, it's it's a resurrected plan that's come

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>back from the dead, and it was originally put forth

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>in a plan called build back better. Uh, you've probably

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>heard that term hundred or a thousand or even a

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>million times. It's not just in America and President Biden

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>using that term build back better. As a matter of fact,

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you've probably seen. If you haven't, you can

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>go find it the month. Is it a montage, I guess,

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 1>like a collection of all the video clips of every

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>single leader, every single like mainstream media newsperson using that

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>same verbiage. So I don't I don't care if you're

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Angela Merkel in Germany or Justins Row in Canada, or

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>klop Schwad from the Worldlet Forum or Joe Biden, everyone's

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>using the same terminology called build back better, build back better,

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>build back better, build back better. Well, think about that,

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>what does that even mean? Build back? So building back

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>would mean that we have to build back something that

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was previously there, something that maybe was destroyed or broken

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>down or torn down, and so because it was there

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's no longer there because it was destroyed or whatever,

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and then we have to build it back, but this

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>time we're gonna do it better. Apparently that's what they

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>have is believe. So it's pretty interesting to think about

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it if you actually just break down, break that down. Now,

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>why is the whole world, every single leader, every single

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>mainstream leader calling using the same terminology build back better?

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>And what is it that they're tearing down in order

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to build back? Well, of course that's the society is,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the world as you know it. Of course, that's

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>what it is, you know, the great reset. So apparently, um,

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you know this world that we live in, the life

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that we have, Um, the American dream that we've had,

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the American experiment has been called capitalism. That's brought more

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>people out of poverty than the other thing in the

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>history of the whole world. Apparently that's no good. Apparently

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>it was never good because it was always built on

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:15.839
<v Speaker 1>a systemic racism, I guess or something like that. Apparently, So, um,

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>never mind all the progress that we've had. Three years ago,

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 1>we're all living in the dirt, and today we have

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>medicine and we have science, and we have spaceships and

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>we have satellites and we have all this amazing technology. Life.

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Life has never been better. Um, but it's no good.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's just tear it all down. Let's reset it, great

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>reset and then we'll build it back. Well, I'm not

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>for that. As a matter of fact, I think things

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>are pretty good. Obviously, I'm not happy with the direction

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>things are going. There's plenty of bad things going on

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the world, and I point to many of those things.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Not because I'm a doing gloomer, but I'm hoping that

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>we can wake up, wake up the sleeping lines, i'd

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like to say, and we can turn the tide before

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 1>it's too late. Anyway, the build back Better plan that

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Biden put forward, I think it was like a one

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>point seven If I'm not mistaken, I have it written

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>down here in my notes. Somebody at one point seven

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>five trillion dollar plan to build back better is what

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>they called it. One point seven five trillion dollars that

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to spend. Now, the House passed it, but

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>then it was shot down in the Senate. So half

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of the one part of that of the government put

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it through. UM. The House passed it and then it

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>was declared dead. Now this was last November. UM November

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>where the House passed it UM and it was one

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>point seven trying one seven five trillion, which is an

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>insane amount of money. To put that into perspective, in

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, during the Great the Global financial Crash,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>when the entire world melted down, the entire financial system

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>came crumbling down. It took seven hundred million tarp funds

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to bail it out, which at that time was insane.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>It was mind blow and I remember living through that

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and going, no, they can't spend that much money seven today,

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>that's a walk in the park. They were trying to

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>push through one point seven five on top of the

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>other multiple trillion dollar package they had put forward. That

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>led us to the point that right today, So anyway,

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>build back Better got killed. UM, didn't pass, and so

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>they resurrected it from the dead, and this time they've

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>called it something better. UM. They call it the Inflation

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Reduction Act. Because everybody is affected by inflation. It's hurting

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>all these families across hard working American families. It's hurting

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>them and they can't afford the gas and they can't

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>afford the food. This inflation, it's so bad. As a

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, it's our number one concern, It's Biden's

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>number one concerns, the Federal reserved number one concern. We

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>have to crush inflation no matter what. So let's just

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>name a bill the Inflation Reduction Act, and everybody's going

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to vote for it, right, I mean, what kind of

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>what kind of monster would the politician be to vote

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>against a bill called Inflation Reduction Act when inflation is

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the number one problem that everyone's concerned about. What kind

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>of monster would against that? Billy? See how they do that?

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>See how they play that? Now, nobody wanted to build

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>back better because of what I said it, Well, that

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>means that you're tearing down the system that we have.

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>We don't want that. Nobody wants that. I mean maybe

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>some people do, but most people don't. But when you

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>name it something like Save the Puppies Act, I mean,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>who can vote for that? Vote against that? Nobody could?

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Who could vote against reducing inflation? Everybody wants to reduce inflation.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>The games they play and how easily we are tricked. Well,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>not you and not me, we see through it. But

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately most people are tricked and they don't see this coming.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So big news this week, like I said, Biden signs

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the Inflation Reduction Act into law, and there's a lot

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of other things that went into law as part of that.

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna break some of that down, and then I'm

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna break down what what this really means to you

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and I and what are the actual tactical things that

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to change in your life, Because I'm gonna

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you right now, they are coming for you, whoever

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you are, and I'm gonna break that down. I'm gonna

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>break it down for you. I'm gonna break down what

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>income category is gonna be affected most by this. So

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>we got lots to cover, all right. So, like I

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>said this week, there's a video of Biden sitting at

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a desk and you got Mansion and Schumer and uh,

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, all these people standing around him watching him

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>sign and uh he picks up the pen and if

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>this wasn't audio only, I'd love to show you the video.

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>But he signs this thing and then everyone's like applauding,

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's like looking around like he's like, where am I.

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty it's pretty sad. It's kind of like elder abuse.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, I could almost I can almost understand.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I can understand maybe at the time people still thought

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he was okay and they voted for him. I get that.

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I could understand that, but at the point we're at today,

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how do they think that anybody could stand

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>behind that? Is just mind and anyway, you listen to

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the Markma Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution. We're

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about the way the world is changing right before

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>our very eyes through the lens of politics, finance, and technology.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Today we're talking about both of those, politics and finance,

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the intersection of those, and we're talking about something that

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is monumental and it's going to change the world. This

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>is one of the big catalysts that will move us

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>forward into this decentralized revolution UM catapulting us. I want

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to break this down what it means for you, um specifically,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>what it means for you, what you need to be

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>aware of. So I'll be back with that and more

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>in a minute. Don't go away. You're listening to the

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Mark Moa Show. I'll be back. Don't go away, all right,

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Ma Show.

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about each and every week, of course, the

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing right before

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>our very eyes as we look at it through the

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>lens of politics, finance and technology. Of course, that technology

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about is bitcoin, which is a decentralized technology

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>giving us exactly what we need at the time as

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the world is going from centralization to decentralization. We have

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>a decentralized technology that's the catalyst for a lot of

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>this aimes that we're seeing today. So it all funnels

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>back or points back to that. But today we're talking

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>about specifically, um, this new bill that got signed into

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:14.599
<v Speaker 1>law this week. Um. I believe that was on August seventeenth,

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the August six And this bill was originally titled the

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Build Back Better Bill, and of course nobody wanted that.

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>They killed it, but they brought it back with a

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>better name, Inflation Production Act, And who in their right

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>mind could vote against that, And of course it got passed,

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>now barely, it barely got passed. We'll talk about that

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>in a second. Now, this bill, like I said, was

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>originally at one point seven five trillion dollar bill, but

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>now it's got marked down and it's much less. As

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, it's only a mere fraction of

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that today. But with this law, the American people won

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and the special special interests lost. Biden said, Really, the

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>American people one and special interests loss. Who are those

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>special interests that lost? I'd like to know that, and

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>who are the American people that want I would like

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to also know that as well. I'm gonna break it

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>down and you tell me which side you're on. I'd

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 1>love to have you tell me that. If you follow

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 1>me on social media, you can find me at one

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark moss that's just the number one, at number one,

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Mark moss Um. Let me know that you're listening to me,

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and which side do you follow on this? Did you

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>win or did you lose? Did the American people win

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>or did the special interests lose? All? Right? So the

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>new law includes a three hundred and sixty nine billion

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>dollar investment in climate and energy policies. Now I've talked

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>about before. I don't have it in front of me,

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>but when you know, all these surveys and polls are

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>being done all the time, and on one of the

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>biggest surveys and polls that was done recently, they asked Americans,

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>what are the number one concerns that you have right now?

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Climate came in at less than one percent of people's concerns. Now,

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>what they were concerned with is they can't afford gas

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>for their car, stake for their plates. They were concerned

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>about their future, they were concerned about you know, nuclear war,

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>all these things. But climate was like less than one percent,

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>which is of course why they didn't name this like

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the Climate Change Act. Nobody would have voted for that.

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>They named the Inflation Production Act, which is the number

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>one concern that people have. But none of this goes

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>for that. It goes to investment in climate and energy policies. Wait,

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>so you took the number one concern that we have

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>in the surveys, but then you take all the money

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and you put it in do the less than one

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 1>percent concerned that people have. That seems like a bait

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and switch to me, it actually sounds like a scam. Now.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to use the word scam. It gets

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>thrown around a lot today. Words start to lose their

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>meanings when you don't use them in the right way.

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>A scam is when I I've bought something, or I've

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>agreed to something, and you give me something different than

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>what I've agreed to. If I bought an apple from you,

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>but instead you gave me a grape, you scammed me. Okay,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 1>when I bought into reducing inflation, which was my main concern.

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>But what you gave me was climate and energy, which

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I could care nothing about. You scammed me. Okay, I'm

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just gonna call it straight up. That's what it is.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>You scammed me sixty four billion to extend a policy

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>under the Affordable Care Act to reduce health insurance costs.

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>That's another great one. Affordable Care Act, Isn't that great?

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Used to be called Obamacare Affordable Care Act. Since since

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the Affordable Care Act went into place, my health insurance

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>costs went up, they became less affordable. To see how

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that works, It's always the opposite. I'd love to hear

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>about your experience, but in my experience, for my very young,

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>healthy family of four, we spend a lot of money

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and time and effort on our health. We eat real food,

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>not processed garbage and sludge. We spend time exercising, We

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>spend our time and effort listening to podcasts and experts

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to be even more healthy, and all these things that

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we can do. We're young, we're healthy. We spend money

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and my insurance for my family of four

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>went from a few hundred dollars a month to over

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 1>seventeen hundred dollars per month for my family at four

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that's after tax dollars. I'll have you. So the Affordable

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Care Act and SURE didn't make it more affordable for me,

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. But anyway, UM, so apart sixty four

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>billion to extend a policy under that to reduce health

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>insurance costs, not reduce my health insurance costs. I'll pay more,

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>so a few of you could pay less. That's how

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that works. UM. And a fifteen percent corporate minimum tax

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>aimed at companies that earn more than one billion dollars

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a year. That's great, Hey, they should pay their fair share, right,

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>nobody's going to vote against that. That sounds great. The

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and thirty seven billion dollars spending packages expected

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to raise seven hundred thirty seven billion in avenue over

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the next decade. So it went from a one point

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>seven trillion dollar bill to a four hundred and thirty

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>seven billion dollar package. So that's uh, you know for

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a UM Now, I love how I say the foot

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>seven dollar, four and thirty seven billion dollar bill will

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>raise seven hundred and thirty seven billion back. So it's

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>an investment, right, It's an investment. We should put it

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>as an investment memorandum. We're gonna talk about that in

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a minute. Um, the biggest share coming from reductions in

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>drug prices for Medicare recipients and tax hikes on corporations,

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So that sounds good. Roughly a hundred and four billion

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is expected to come from increased I R S enforcement.

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about that. So, Um, they're going to

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>increase I R S enforcement on you. You spend six

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks on Venmo up, we better shine a flashlight

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>up your butt. We better see what happened with that money,

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>because somehow you probably didn't pay tax, and so we

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>need to get that money. So we're gonna spend a

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>hund billion. Now of that h billion, of course, they

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>want to hire eighty seven thousand agents, and to spend

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that um to hire those agents, they want to spend

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty billion. So they believe that if they take eighty

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>billion of this package and give to the I R S,

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll bring back a billion. Probably not. We're gonna talk

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>about that in a minute. Let's dig into this a

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit here. First of all, I'll have you know

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that the bill narrowly passed the U. S. Senate. Remember

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the old one died, Build back better died. So they

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 1>brought it back and it narrowly passed. It was a

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>fifte vote, it won by one vote, and of course

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the tie breaker was Vice President Kamala of course um,

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and gave him the win. One thing that I would

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>think about now, of course, the United States is a republic.

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a democracy. But in a democracy, it should

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be what the people want. Now, if if you have

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to ram rod this through and you can just barely

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>get somebody on your own side to cast the tie breaker,

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is that really what the American people want? Is it really?

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I would think they have to win by a bigger

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>margin that doesn't seem right, does it? But let's be clear.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 1>It says quote in this historic moment, Democrats sided with

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the American people. That's what they said. That's what Biden said. Um,

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>did they side with the American people? Is this what

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>American people want? Let's kind of dig into this a

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>little bit for a second. Now, First of all, they

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>call this an investment. Is that true? Um? I want

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to look at the investment, and then I want to

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 1>look at the mansion and what it Finally, what he

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>said behind a closed doors after this is over, and

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to believe what he said. He said

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>basically that what we said it's named isn't actually what's

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. He said that I'm gonna talk about that.

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about Bill Gates, where does Bill Gates

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>fit into all this? And then we're gonna fact check

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>some of this. All right, and I'm gonna tell you

0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 1>what's coming for you. I gotta lot to cover when

0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I come back. You're listening to the Mark mo Show.

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we're talking about the decentralized revolution, the way

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the world is changing, um through the lens of politics, finance,

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and technology, and of course the technology being bitcoined. I'm

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back. I'm with a whole lot more on

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>this in a minute. Do not go away. I'll be

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.719
<v Speaker 1>right back. All right, Welcome back. You are listening to

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the Mark Ma Show, and we're talking about, of course,

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>each and every week, the decentralized revolution, meaning the way

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the world is changing as the pendulum shifts from centralization

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to decentralization, and we look at it through the lens

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of politics, finance, and technology, and of course today we're

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about the intersection of two of those, politics and finance.

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking about this new bill, this monumental bill

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that got signed, the Inflation Reduction Act, that will do

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 1>none of that. It won't reduce inflation at all. And

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.120
<v Speaker 1>don't just take my word for it. As a matter

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of fact, the holdout that killed the original bill to

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>build back better bill we're talking about Mansion. He finally

0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:00.479
<v Speaker 1>admits inflation bill will not help Americans with low prices?

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Why would it? Why would it? Senator Joe Mansion, Democrat

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>from West Virginia, admitted Tuesday the so called Inflation Reduction

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Act will not have an immediate impact on inflation. He

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 1>admits it. News correspondent Hillary Vaughan asked Mansion on Tuesday

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>whether Democrats misled Americans by claiming the bill woard reduce

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>inflation and thus lower the price of everyday goods. Mansion said, quote,

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:34.399
<v Speaker 1>why would it? Oh, you can't make this stuff up.

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>His response was, quote, why would it? Well, because it's

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>in the name, because it's literally named the Inflation Reduction Act.

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, you can't make this stuff up. Um,

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>he said, well, immediately, it's not. We've never said that

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>We've never said anything would happen immediately. It's not going

0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 1>to turn a switch on and off. He went to

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.439
<v Speaker 1>say that that the proper way to respond to an

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>inflation crisis is not by raising interest rates. Okay, so

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 1>we have this inflation crisis. Everybody's attacking it, and the

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>president's attacking it, the putin and price Supposedly, we have

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the Federal Reserve attacking it. The federalserves attacking it by

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>doing what raising interest rates. They're raising interest rates to

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>crush demand. If they can crash your retirement account, if

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>they can crash your home's value, if they can make

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>you feel broke, then you don't go on vacation, you

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>don't go after dinner, you don't buy new cars. They

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>crush the demand, that's what they're doing. So he says,

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the proper way to respond to inflation crosses is not

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:45.439
<v Speaker 1>by raising interest rates. It's not by crushing demand. We like. So,

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so the problem is people can't afford these things. So

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the way we're gonna fix it is by taking away

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>all their money so they don't go buy them. That

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make any sense. Well, it doesn't make sense to

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you and I, because we're rational and we think like

0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>normal people. But when you know you're when the whole

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:02.439
<v Speaker 1>when all you have the hammer, the whole word looks gonnail.

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>And when you're essential banker and all you have is uh,

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>interest rates, I guess the whole world looks like you

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.120
<v Speaker 1>need to raise interest rates. He says that you He says,

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not by raising rates. You've got to produce yourself

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 1>out of this. Ah wow, mansion. He gets it, he

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>gets it. You don't. You don't get your way out

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 1>of inflation by taking away everybody's wealth. You do it

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>by producing yourself out of this. So they're supply and demand.

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>If the price of gas or steak is too high,

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>there's two ways to get that price adjusted supply and demand.

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>You can either one crushed demand, which is what the

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Feds doing, make everybody poor. Or two you could increase

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the supply. Just create more gas, just create more steak,

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>and the price comes down. That's what he's saying. You've

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>got to produce your way out of this. Mansion said quote.

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>If you think that you're going to wait on the

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>federal reserve to raise rates to discourage you from buying anything,

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to take care of our inflation. That's

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>not how you take care of inflation. End quote mhm.

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course economists disagreed. Um uh. Famed economist Noriel Robini,

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.239
<v Speaker 1>no big fan of mine or I'm no fan of his,

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>called for the Reserve to take even more aggressive action,

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>raise rates even more. We've got to raise them of

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>five percent. Inflations getting out of control. We need to

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>make people broke. You don't understand. If they're not broke,

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>they're going to keep buying things. Oh yeah, Or we

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>could just produce more Um, all right, okay. Nonpartisan analysis

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 1>study the Inflation Production Act, which is a paired down

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>version of the bill back better. We've discussed that and

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>they said that impact inflation will be negligible, if at all.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Quote in calendar year in acting, the bill would have

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>have no effect on inflation in the CBO's assessment. Who

0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the heck is this CBO. Oh that's the congress Sational

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Budget Office. Oh yeah, that's the government. So in the

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>government's own assessment, it's kinda gonna have any effect. The

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>pen Wharton budget model reached the same conclusion. The Act

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>would have no meaningful effect on inflation in the near term,

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 1>but would reduce inflation by around zero point one percent.

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 1>It could adjust it by zero point one percent maybe

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>by the middle of the first decade, so in the

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 1>in five years, maybe we'll get a zero percent reduction.

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are they splitting hairs that that's a statistically

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 1>no different than zero? Okay, zero point one like whatever?

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean these guys, But let's take into this a

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit more for a second. Okay, Um, this happened,

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.440
<v Speaker 1>it's happening, Okay, So what what's interesting is that there's

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.880
<v Speaker 1>so few reporters that want to mention that this Inflation

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Reduction Act is an actual fraud, right, A fraud, a scam.

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>When I've signed up for something, I've agreed to buy

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>something but delivered me something else than I But I

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>signed on to reduce inflation, but you're not reduced in inflation,

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 1>that's a fraud. Why are no reporters asking that question?

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Instead they stand around clapping, clapping, another milestone, another milestone,

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 1>like a bunch of seals barking. Something happened, right, It

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>was transformational, it was monumental, there was game changing. That's

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 1>what they told us. Let's hear. Let's hear from there

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 1>were from their own mouths. Here's CNN. CNN says, as

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the bill came closer to being signed in the law,

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.679
<v Speaker 1>more media outlets begin referring to it as a quote

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Climate and Health Bill instead, citing that nearly three billion

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of the four hunder billion UM going towards investments. Wait, wait, wait,

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>going towards investments in energy security and climate change. That's

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>person in that's their words. So outlets stopped referring to

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it as Inflation Production Act and started referring to it

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>as Climate and Health Bill because it's an invest sment

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in energy security and climate change. Okay, And then that's

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the scene. And here's New York Times again talking about

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the investment angles. New York Times says, the bill, signed

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>into law by President Biden on Tuesday, makes three nine

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>billion in a climate and energy investments, by far, the

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:21.479
<v Speaker 1>larger such investment in American history. So they are telling

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>you right now, you got scammed. You signed up the

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:29.959
<v Speaker 1>American people. Apparently that's what Biden said. American people wanted

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to stand up to reduce inflation Inflation Production Act, but

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>instead they got sold a different bill of goods than

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they hoped for. And that's an investment into climate energy investments,

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>which again, per the survey, less than one percent of

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 1>people care about that. Now, calling it an an investment

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is also a lie. So okay, so it's an investment. Okay,

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So they the media told us that, So we didn't

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 1>really get scammed. They told us of an investment. That's

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 1>what we got. Well, that's a lie too. If you

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>were a stock promoter, you would go to jail ale

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>for making the claims that they've made if the sec

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously had any teeth and there on the case.

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:10.719
<v Speaker 1>An investment is something that person makes willingly in the

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>hope of a gain. The Investment Reduction Inflation Reduction Act

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 1>we're called ira A from here on out because it's

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>too many words for me to say. Inflationment and Reduction

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Act IRA is nothing like an investment. It takes money

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 1>from at least a hundred and fifty million unwilling citizens.

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Remember it was so we can assume at least half

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the people didn't want it. Um, So it takes money

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 1>from half of people that are unwilling. They don't want this,

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 1>They would never put up the money for this, even

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>if they had the choice. And then it dumps it

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>into an assortment of giveaways and uh flim flams and

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 1>scams and uh pork we call it. If it were

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>such a good investment, why do the Feds have to

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:02.679
<v Speaker 1>force people to make it? That's a good question, isn't it?

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:09.879
<v Speaker 1>And in America per SEC guidelines, we have laws about

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:15.160
<v Speaker 1>raising investment funds. Seeking capital. Investment is a very heavy

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 1>regulated activity. The SEC requires promoters be very careful about

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>what they say and to close anything and everything that

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>might be relevant, particularly risk factors. Uh, we're gonna have

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>fun with us. I'm gonna dig into this a little

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more, and then we're gonna talk about what, like

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 1>I said, Bill Gates involvement in this. You won't be

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:33.879
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be surprised. We'll talk about the fact checks

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and what the IRUs is really coming after and hint,

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>it's you. I got a whole lot more to cover

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>when I come back. You're listening to the Markma Show.

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the decentralized Revolution. Today we're talking about

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this false inflation production Act. I got more to go over,

0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>So don't go away. I'll be right back. All right,

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. You're listening to the Markma Show. We're talking

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>about each and every week. The decentralized revolution, the way

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the world is changing right before our very eyes, from

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 1>a centralized world to a decentralized world. We look at

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Of course,

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 1>technology is the change the catahs that that brings change

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>in throughout history in and that that technology we have

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>today is this decentralized technology right when the world needs it.

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking about bitcoin, of course, but today we're

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>looking at politics and finance together. We're talking about this

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>inflation reduction actor called the ire A for short, and um,

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>we got scammed. Mansion himself says it will not reduce inflation.

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>The CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, that it won't reduce inflation.

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>So they sold us something that this is this is

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.679
<v Speaker 1>a scam. It's not going to reduce inflation as a

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact. Um, as I told you, CNN and

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 1>uh New York Times called it an investment. It's actually

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>not uh, it's not doing that. It's actually most of

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the money, um I haven't added up percent of the

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>money isn't going to reduce inflation as a matter of fact.

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>That it's an investment into energy and climate change. But

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>but we did. But we we thought it was for

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 1>reducing inflation. It's a scam all right. Now we're talking

0:28:55.520 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 1>about the making the case for the inflation at all. Now. Um,

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, if if, if, if, if they were

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 1>literally trying to raise money in this way, people would

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 1>be going to jail over this, because you can't write

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>investments require lots of disclaimers. They require, um, not only

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 1>not only truth in the offering, but disclaimers in the

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>risks as well as proposed time frames of returns on

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>investments and things like that. Of course, this does none

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>of that. Now, as I said, there's some some interesting

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>pieces too, because the holdout that really killed the original bill,

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 1>which is the Bill Black Better Bill. Um. Then I

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>got revisited or revived here under the Inflation Reduction Act

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the i RA UM, and we talked about how Senator

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Mansion has been the holdout here. And what was interesting

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw this week is that surprise, surprise, surprise, Bill

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Gates pops his head up again. Bill Gates, the do

0:29:57.840 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>gooder that nobody wants his help. Look, we don't want

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>your help. Bill, stay home, help yourself, help your friends,

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>help your family, help people that want it. We don't

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>need you in every area of the life. Nobody made

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you the king of the world. You don't need to

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>tell us what kind of fake meat we should eat

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and what kind of substance we should inject into our body.

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>We don't need you to tell us what politicians we

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 1>have in office, or that we need to darken the sky,

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and we don't need you to Ramrod to build through.

0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a false bill of goods and a scam that

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was got pushed on the public. But don't let that

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>go by, because Bill Gates is gonna do it anyway.

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>It was Bill Gates who personally lobbied Mansion in a

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:41.880
<v Speaker 1>stealth campaign for climate change. Say it again. Bill Gates

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>personally lobbied Mansion in a stealth campaign. Microsoft founder Bill

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Gates personally lobbied Senator Joe Mansion for months in support

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of the progressive climate and energy legislation that eventually passed.

0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Gates campaign, as well as maneuvering from environmental renewable energy lobbyists,

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>eventually helped the two senators reach a deal and passed

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the Inflation Reduction Act. Wait a minute again, I'll go

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:11.959
<v Speaker 1>back to it again. So Gates um let he lobbied

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>him on progressive climate inergy legislation. Um, and then he

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>had to get help from environmental and renewable energy lobbyists

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to pass the inflation Reduction Act. You just can't make

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this stuff up. Um. Gates wasn't the only one trying

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to soften Mansion, and the campaign included a cohort of

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>lobbyists and activists who eventually convinced him that the climate

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>tax and healthcare bill that eventually passed would benefit the economy.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So the Climate and Tax and Healthcare bill that passed, Wait,

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was an inflation reduction act. Dang it,

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he lied to me again. To see how dirty this is.

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's dig into the facts about this. So

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>per Heritage dot org, they fact checked Team Biden on

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>on this and specifically, how is it going to reduce inflation? Well,

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 1>they plan to take eighty billion dollars of that money

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and hire eighty seven thousand new IRS agents who are

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>going to come after you. Now, Biden said, He said,

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of his own words, that if you make over four

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred make under four hundred thousand dollars, your taxes aren't

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>going up. If you make under four hundred thous dollars.

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not our target. We want to go target those

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 1>rich people. You know, those those greedy rich people who

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>got rich by stealing from you. They're they're evil and

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 1>we need to go get their money. They got to

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>pay their fair share, right. Um, But that's not the case.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 1>It says here the Biden administration has promised not to

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>raise taxes on anyone making under four hundred thousand dollars

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a year. As a matter of fact, Treasury Secretary Janet

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Yellen sent a letter Wednesday to IRIS Commissioner Charles Retig

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that includes this statement, quote, I direct any additional resources,

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>including any new personnel or auditors that are hired, shall

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 1>not be used to increase the share of small businesses

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>or households below the four thousand dollar threshold that are audited. Okay,

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's what she says, uh. And then um rating

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>from the I R S. He sent a letter to

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>U S senators declaring the same objective. He says, quote,

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>these resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>small businesses or middle income Americans. Okay. And they wanted

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to put a provision in the bill that said we

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>will not audit or increase audits on people making less

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>than four thousand. But all the Democrats that sided on

0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 1>this bill, they shot that down. Nope, we're not gonna

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>shoot that down. But wait a minute. You said you're

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna try to and go after the people making

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>less than four thousand. That came out of Biden's own mouth. Uh.

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>And and and even Janet Yelling in the head of

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the IRS both said that they want that. Oh never mind,

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it says, considering the share magnitude of eighty seven thousand

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 1>new IRIS agents and an estimated two hundred billion in

0:33:57.000 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>new revenues from enforcement, is it possible for all those

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 1>new audits and revenues to involve only taxpayers making over

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:08.840
<v Speaker 1>four hundred thousand dollars. Well, let's do the math. We

0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:12.479
<v Speaker 1>have a fairytale land that Biden and his team running,

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:14.319
<v Speaker 1>and then we have the real world, like you know,

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:19.240
<v Speaker 1>math facts, right, constraints. So if we if we return

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the two thousand ten audit rates for all individuals making

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:27.720
<v Speaker 1>over four grand um, that would generate only twenty percent,

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>or nine billion, of the estimated thirty five billion in

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 1>new I I R S enforcement revenues. Okay, so that's

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>not enough. Even increasing recent audit rates thirty fold for

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 1>taxpayers making over four hundred thousand, including a one hundred

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>percent audit rate on taxpayers within comes over ten million,

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 1>still would come short of the goal. Okay, so if

0:34:56.800 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>we so, it looks like we can't get it. Um

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Note this assumes a increase in the number of tax

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 1>filers making over four hundred thousand dollars betty based on

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>annual growth rates between So they're saying there's just no

0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 1>way for it to happen auditing. What about this? Auditing

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>every single taxpayer with annual income over one million would

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>require only twenty five thousand new agents. So why are

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 1>they hiring eighty seven thousand new agents? You see, there's

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like math here, something like math. It doesn't add up

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the true intent of the i R s. According to

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>a two thoe report from the government's Accountability Office, quote

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>from fiscal years two thousand ten to two thousand twenty one,

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the additional taxes i RS recommended from

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:55.319
<v Speaker 1>audits came from taxpayers with incomes below two thousand. So

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, the majority of the money that we

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>picked up comes from the taxpayers below two That's who

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.439
<v Speaker 1>we have to go oh after that recommendation is based

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 1>on audits of lower income tax returns producing more bang

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 1>for the buck end quote hm hmm. So wait, if

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the money we get is from the low income people,

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 1>audits of the lowest income taxpayers UM give us the

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>highest additional tax per audit hour compared to all income groups.

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Hired higher rates of return from auditing low income households

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:30.399
<v Speaker 1>alongside the average large corporate tax files of nearly six

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.359
<v Speaker 1>thousand pages. Says that our current tax code is far

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 1>too complex. That's the reality here, so hopefully that makes sense. One,

0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the inflation reduction actually is not going to reduce inflation.

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Mansion said it himself. He said, why would it? Two

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.719
<v Speaker 1>mainstream media stopped even saying that it was gonna do that,

0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and they said instead it was it was an investment

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 1>into climate and health, which nobody asked for. UM. As

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, it's less than one percent of

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:59.600
<v Speaker 1>people's concerns, So we were scammed on top of it. UM,

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 1>calling an investment is also a scam, and legally that

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 1>would wind up in jail if you're really had of

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>real investment, because you can't throw that type of words around.

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>We also see Bill Gates is behind this, lobbying it

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and the fact checked shows that they are coming after

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you if you make less than two thousand and unless

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you make the more of a target you are because

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 1>you have more to get. Anyway, you're listening to the

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Markmas Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution, the way

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the world is changing right before of our eyes, and

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that's what I got here today. Thanks for listening.
