WEBVTT - Don't Expect to Fall Back on Social Security 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.880 Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Mark Moss Show, 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.920 where we talk about the decentralized revolution. Of course, each 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.560 and every week talking about how the world changes. The 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.400 world is always changing, but if what's important to understand 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.399 is that it's not going back to the way it 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:15.920 was before. The world is changing, and so you have 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.520 to look at history, the long lens of history to 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.760 understand where we're coming from and where we're going. That's 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.160 what we're talking about each and every week, and of 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.800 course we look at it through the lens of politics, finance, 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.480 and technology, and the technology being bitcoin and the decentralized 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.000 technology that is changing the world. And i'd like to 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.839 bring to you, you know, some educational pieces to help 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.839 you kind of understand what's going on a little bit 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.919 different than what people are shoving down your throat. And 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.080 we look at the politics, the finance, and the technology. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.960 And I want to talk about the technology piece today. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.640 Something I've been talking about this last week. Some things 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.400 that a lot of people don't know. You know, a 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.320 lot of times when you hear about bitcoin specifically or cryptocurrency, 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.520 you know, from a US centric viewpoint, people would like 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.520 to argue that without really taking into account it's happening 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.200 in the world, and so a very US centric viewpoint. 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.959 I listened to a conversation with someone that I like, 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.080 someone that I kind of respect your viewpoint, Michael Shellenbergers. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.440 He's done really good job talking about climate and stuff, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.160 and I agree with him on that. And I listened 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.560 to him talk with another one of my buddies, pomp 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.400 Anthony Pompliano, and it was a pretty painful conversation, and 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.080 Shellenberger is basically, kind, we don't need this. The U 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.040 in nine States doesn't need this. This is stupid. We 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.600 shouldn't have this. The US government should protect their US dollar, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.480 this and that, blah blah blah blah blah, And all 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.280 I could just think about the whole time is like, 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.160 what a selfish US centric viewpoint to have. So in 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.720 the United States or Canada or in the western developed world, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.880 we're sitting there at the bar having a twenty dollars 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.400 cocktail and your money works pretty decent. Maybe you don't 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.560 know why you need an alternative like a bitcoin or 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.280 cryptocurrency or something like that. If you're one of the 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.240 other three billion people that live in a country where 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.920 that has massively high inflation, double or triple digit inflation, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.040 or an authority terror regime that will steal all your 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.000 money from you. You don't have to wonder why you 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.959 need something like bitcoin. You don't have to wonder, you 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.280 already know. So, for example, in Nigeria, their currency is horrible. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.280 It loses value so fast. You can't you can't hold it. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.799 You have to buy stuff all the time because it's 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.400 just losing value so fast. And so in Nigeria they've 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.960 moved over to bitcoin, and they've been using bitcoin for 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.880 a while now. The Nigerian government they said, oh, well, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.800 people want digital money. That's what they want, So let's 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.680 come up with a CBDC, and they did, and they 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.280 came up with their own CBDC called the E Niara. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.000 Now the government's like, hey, people, you want a digital money. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.160 We knew that because you're using bitcoin, and so here 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.120 we're gonna give you digital money. Here's your CBDC, the 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.400 E Nira. But nobody wants it, nobody uses it. And 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.080 so what all governments do first they apply the carrot 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.360 and then they apply the stick. So the carrot was like, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.880 hey guys, if you use this edi R, I will 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.160 give you discounts on your taxi cabs and things like that. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.760 But the people were like, why would we use that 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.480 because it's the exact same problem. It's still losing value. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.320 I can't use it that something's going down in value 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.280 so fast. So no, we're not going to use it. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.320 We already have bitcoin. The Nira is no different. It 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.560 solves no problem the regular Nira does. And so now 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.359 the stick comes out, and now the Nigerian government is restricted, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.800 I believe all cash transactions or are sorry withdrawals of 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.840 more than twenty five dollars a day. So if you 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.919 want money, you can only take it in CBDC. You 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.280 can only get twenty five dollars a day of cash otherwise. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.880 And so the Nigerians don't need to understand why they 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.200 need something like bitcoin. They already get it. If you're 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.600 in South Korea where the government comes and searches your 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.280 house regularly and steals any money you have, you get it. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.760 If you're a woman living in Afghanistan and someone's trying 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.280 to send you money to help because the women are 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.800 being so persecuted there in Afghanistan, but you can't get 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.480 money sent to you because the Taliban steals it from you. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.960 You don't have to ask why something like bitcoin is important. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.680 You already get it. And so these viewpoints of why 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.160 do we need something like a bitcoin or cryptocurrency is 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.560 a very very US centric viewpoint, and you have to 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.040 look at the rest of the world. And so I 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.160 want to give you some more viewpoints. And so I 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.120 saw this week a news headline that kind of made 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.960 me think about this, and it's that Strike, a company 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.960 called Strike has expanded the lightning network powered remittances to 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:22.240 the Philippines. So what does that mean. Well, again, if 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.880 you're an American or Canadian or Europinian, you maybe don't 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.200 understand this. But if you live in any of the 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.599 other parts of the world, typically you send family to 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.200 a western developed world. So all over Mexico, Central America, 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:41.279 El Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela, you know, Philippines, etc. You send 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.880 people to the US to work and then those people, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.680 the families, send you money back. That's called remittances. Now, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.400 if I want to send money to somebody overseas, there's 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.160 not a lot of easy ways to do that. I mean, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.640 obviously I can do a wire transfer. What if I 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.279 want to send them seventy five bucks, sixty bucks, or whatever. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.160 So I would have to go to my bank bank, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.400 stand in line, I drive there, take me whatever ten minutes. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.680 Drive from the bank, another ten fifty minutes, stand in line, 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.840 I pull cash. I have to drive over to the 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.080 wal martyr of the bank, another ten to fifteen minutes, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.080 stand in line, fell at the western uniforms and give 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.080 them the money. So that takes me whatever an hour. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.880 Then in El Salvador or the Philippines or wherever they 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.320 live in this little town, they got to get on 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.159 a bus, ride a bus for a couple hours and 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.160 get to the city to get the cash. And they 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.760 have to ride the bus back with their cash and 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.760 hopefully they don't get robbed or mug or something like that. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.359 So it takes a day for them and put the 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:33.760 massive risk. It's a big problem. And now with bitcoin, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.160 I could send them money right now, instantly and for free, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.160 like literally from my bed in my pajamas. I can 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.960 click a button and they'll have it within a fraction 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.240 of a second on their phone. They don't have to 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.120 get on a bus, there's no risk, and they can 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.960 do it for free. Now why for free? Why does 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.560 that matter? Well, El Salvador, about thirty percent of their 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.599 GDP comes from remittances, and the average fee for their 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.200 remittance is about thirty percent because it's like a flat fee. 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.119 So it's like twenty bucks a sent on Western Union. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.200 But if only if I'm only spending, if I'm only 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.840 sending fifty bucks, it's a big percentage in the Philippines 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.000 is The Philippines is one of the world's largest remittance markets. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:11.440 Thirty five billion dollars. Thirty five billion dollars is being 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.120 sent back as remittances in that old, clunky, pain in 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.119 the butt way, very expensive way I've just talked about, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.840 all right, because it's using these very old technology, very 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.080 clunky rails. And Strike is a company that builds on 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.239 the Bitcoin Lightning network and they've fixed this. They've created 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.880 a new rail, a new way to do this. And 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.200 basically what they can do, I can just instantly send dollars. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.000 It uses the Bitcoin Lightning network to send it to 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.400 the Philippines and then instantly on the other end they 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.880 can convert it into any currency they want. So the 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.240 Philippines is now working to do this using Strike and 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.919 so instead of using the Western Unions and all those things, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.159 they just do it over the Bitcoin network, and again 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.080 they don't have to use bitcoin. What they're using is 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.960 the Bitcoin network, the rail system. Soily to send money, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.160 you'd have to do it through the Swift system. That's 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.200 how money gets sent through Swift. This sends it across 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.680 not Swift, but instead the Bitcoin network. All right, that's 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.120 how it's doing cross border. Typically, like I said, it's 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.200 not cheap or fast to do a cross border, but 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.600 using bitcoin Lightning you can do this. And this Lightning 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.440 network has been growing massively. As a matter of fact, 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.840 there's over sixteen thousand nodes, seventy six thousand channels, and 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.880 about one hundred and twenty two million dollars of liquidity 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.760 locked up inside this right now. And the Strike app. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.000 You can download the Strike app and you can convert 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.320 your dollars into the bitcoin and then sends across the 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.040 Lighting network and then in the recipients country, it delivers 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.480 to do them in whatever they want. So in the 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.560 Philippines they use a company called pouch dot pH and 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.600 it converts that bitcoin into local fiat currency and then 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.040 forwards the money through the recipients bank or mobile account. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.440 So the important piece to understand is that you don't 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.440 have to understand that it uses the Bitcoin network. You 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.960 don't have to know that, just like you don't know 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.520 how my voice is coming across your speakers right now. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.520 You don't have to know how it works. And that's 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.800 the beauty of this. And so this is how it's working. Now. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.280 People in the Philippines or Nigeria or Kenya or else 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.200 I would or can receive money instantly and for free 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.520 in whatever currency they want, in the dollar, in the paso, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.720 and they don't have to know that it's going over 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.400 the Bitcoin network. They don't have to know that it's 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.440 a new payment rail. And so this is changing lives. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.960 It's saving lots of money, thirty five billion dollars it's 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.400 being spent, and a large part of that is being 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.520 taken up by fees. And so bitcoin is saving that. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.400 Bitcoin is fixing that. Bitcoin is not old and slow 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.400 and clunky. It's the fastest and cheapest way to send 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.679 value across the world instantly, and the Philippines and lots 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.640 of other countries are now benefiting from them. If you're 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.320 just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Moas Show. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.679 I'm running through some of the biggest headlines of the 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.319 week as we document and discuss how the world is 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.280 changing through the decentralized revolution, and we look at through 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.600 the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Now, there's lots 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.360 of other big headlines that happened this week that I 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.400 want to talk about that you need to know about 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.280 if you want to stay in formed, that if you 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.640 want to see how the world is changing, where we're going. So, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.079 I got a lot more to cover when I come back. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.559 You don't want to miss it, don't go away. I'm 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.320 gonna be right back. All right, Welcome back. If you 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.640 are just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Mass Show. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.320 We're talking about the decentralized revolution that we talk about 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.480 each and every week, as the world is decentralizing, as 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.520 we look at it through the lens of politics, of finance, 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.120 and technology, and we're talking about some of the biggest 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.079 breaking news headlines. One thing I saw this week that 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.960 kind of caught my eye that was kind of interesting 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.120 is from the Washington Post the wappo. Their slogan is 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.920 that democracy dies in darkness, which is sort of rich. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.000 They're killing the democracy by lying to us and surpassing 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.559 the truth. I talked about earlier in a previous segment. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.240 If you missed it, you can catch me on the podcast. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.680 Just search Mark Moss The Mark Mos Show in your 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.960 favorite podcast player, or you can always watch these and 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.400 listen to me on my YouTube channel called Market Disruptors. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.160 Check that out as well. I talked about how they're 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.800 using disinformation and they're always doing the opposite of what 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.640 they say. So the Wappa Washington Post is saying that 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.920 democracy dies in darkness, but they're the ones creating darkness. Interesting, 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.480 but anyway, I don't want to go into that tangent, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.000 but they put up this article that I thought was 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.000 pretty interesting. We're talking about the doomsday clock. You ever 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.240 heard of that the doomsday clock hits ninety seconds to 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:21.920 midnight its most dire prediction ever. They say ninety seconds 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.160 away from midnight, whatever that means. But this is according 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.959 to the doomsday clock, and basically what it is is 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.720 a it's like a symbolic hour that kind of counts 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.800 down this apocalypse. And the people who run the clock 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.720 are mostly saying that it's because of what's happening in 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.280 the Russia War with Ukraine, which I would agree. In 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.600 the Russia War with Ukraine, the danger is because of 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.920 the potential use of nuclear weapons. And this is a 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.120 big problem, and it's something that I'm concerned about it. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.920 And I'm somebody who grew up under the Cold War. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.920 You know, as I was a kid, we still had 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.959 the Cold War with Russia, you know, the East and 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.240 West Berlin Wall. But maybe I was too young to realize. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.160 But I don't remember then, you know, maybe in the 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.080 early days after World War Two, but I remember then 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.439 they're ever really being a threat of nuclear war. We 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.200 were never close to war. But here we are in war. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:19.040 Make no mistake. The United States is at war with Russia. Period. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.160 Now it's happening in Ukraine. That's where the battleground is, 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.000 and it's most of the Ukrainian forces. But the US 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.520 is giving all the weapons and the money. And the 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.240 US isn't just giving the weapons, the weapons systems that 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.040 were given the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians don't know how to use. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.280 Our systems are so advanced they some of these take 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.880 sixty eighty people just to run the weapon. Ukrainians haven't 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.240 been trained on that. So make no mistake, the US 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.559 is there, and of course Russia knows this. You may 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.040 not agree, but Russia does and they said, hey, we 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.680 see that you're at war with us, and what are 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.319 the whole point of nuclear weapons so you don't lose? 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.560 And ultimately they're supposed to be a deterrence, like, hey, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.960 don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. We 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.920 both have we both have nuclear weapons. It's like the 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.600 Mexican standoff right where you see like two guys pointing 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.120 guns at each other, like neither one wants to fire 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.719 because it's mutually assured destruction. We're both going to die. 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.080 We both have guns pointed at each other, so let's 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.559 just decide to not kill each other, right, And that's 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.920 where that's that's why nuclear weapons actually brought peace. Because 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.719 of that, we know that, tay, we're not going to 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.720 bomb you and you're not gonna bomb us, otherwise we 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:29.400 all die. Sounds pretty reasonable, except for now we seem 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.280 to have forgotten that and the US is now pushing 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.600 to the point. You know, Russia drew this red line, Hey, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.920 don't cross this line and we'll be okay, and then 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.360 we did the saying don't cross this line, and we did. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.800 Now they said, don't give them weapons, or we recognize 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.440 that you're in the war with us. And then we did, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.160 and we're pushing nuclear war. And that's why this this 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.839 doomsday clock is saying that we're potentially going into this now. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:56.200 This clock's movement is heading towards catastrophe, that's what it's saying. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.000 The time had been set at one hundred seconds away 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.080 from midnight since twenty twenty, but there's bulletin of atomic 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.360 scientists that use this clock are now saying that we 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:09.240 are getting very close to this. And I want to 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:14.360 point out the obvious here. All right, Joe Biden, the 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.240 Biden administration, and the neo cons that run the government 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.640 are the ones pushing this. They are literally putting everybody 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.760 in the world's lives in danger. Your life is in danger, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.800 My life is in danger, My kids' lives are in danger. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.720 People in Mexico, people in parts of Europe, people in 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.240 Central America, people in China, even their lives are at 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.800 danger because if a nuclear war goes off, it affects everybody. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.240 And the point that I want to make out is 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.320 that Joe Biden, the Bide administration, the neo cons, whatever 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.520 you want to call them, they a small group of 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.000 people are deciding to put the entire world's lives at 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:57.520 risk over what? Over? Who controls crimea? Do you even 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:02.920 know where CRIMEA is? Why do you care who controls Crimeia? 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.720 Why do you want to put your kids, your grandkids, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.720 your future generations that aren't even born yet. Why do 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.800 you want to put third lives of risks? Who are they? 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.040 Who are they to have the authority to put my 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.040 life at risk over what? Over crimeia? I mean, come on, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.400 the insanity of this? And this is what this doomsday 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.880 clock is saying because they realize that we are getting 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.440 closer and closer and closer to this atomic war. Now, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.000 why did the doomsday clock move closer to midnight? Well, 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.720 because what we're conveying with the clock move is this 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.760 is this quote or conveyed with the clock move is 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.960 things are not going in the right direction, and they 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.200 haven't been going in the right direction, so we're always 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:47.280 thinking about directionality, right, and so we are headed for 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:53.440 disaster and the rhetoric that's continuing to grow is continuing 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.720 to only antagonize and continue to escalate. The way you 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.240 escalation works is that it owns the ends, either one 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.880 when both sides agree to end it, or two so peaceably, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.920 or two ultimately the final moves made. So I say 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.920 something mean to you. You push me, you threaten me, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.800 I push you, you punch me. I get a knife, 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.800 you get a gun. Right, that's how escalation works until 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.400 maybe somebody steps in with a cool head says, hang on, 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.960 hang on, hang on, guys, do you really mean this? 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.600 Can we talk it out sort of a thing and 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.960 we see that. You know, the Russia and Ukraine have 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.320 tried to have peace many times. The US doesn't want peace. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:35.720 The neo cons want war and for what for who 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.800 controls Crimea? Of course not. So you have to ask 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.520 yourself this, ask yourself this one, Like I said, the insanity, 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.800 the absurdity that these group of people have the right 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.640 to put our lives in danger over what over? Over was? 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.120 So again, it's not about Crimea. What is it about? Well, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.680 they might, they're gonna tell you, well, because Russia won't 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.920 stop with Crimea, Russia won't stop with Ukraine. If we 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.880 don't stop them, and you crane, they're going to take 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.240 over the whole world. Really, if they try to come 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.720 onto us soil. I think we can defend that pretty well. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.920 I think we can defend that pretty well. So what 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.800 is it really about That's the question that you have 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.440 to ask yourself. The battle is over globalism and the 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.080 world that coming for them. They met last week and 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.000 they talked about the biggest threat we have is this 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.880 deglobalization and what can they do to stop this? And 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:34.360 stopping Russia is the path to stopping deglobalization. That's what 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.000 they want, but they can't stop it. It's happening and 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.480 we're talking about it each and every week now. Of course, 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.360 I hope and I pray that this de escalates. I 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.560 hope and I pray that they walk this back, that 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.640 they find peace, because I don't want my life in jeopardy. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.360 I don't want your kids' lives in jeopardy. And hopefully 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.720 cooler heads will prevail. Hopefully you will take this information 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.920 and go discuss it with your friends and your family 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.840 and your co workers, and hopefully we can the conscious 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.199 discussion to pick up enough where they can hear this 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.639 and think about how absurd this is. And whatever motives 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.600 that they have, however wrong, are skewed they are they 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.240 can figure out that, look, this is not what the 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.560 people want. Our motives are wrong. We don't have the 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.720 right to put everybody's lives in jeopardy. Now, fix the money, 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.400 fix the world. If they didn't have a money printer, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.200 we would never be in the situation in the first place. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.320 That's a whole other story. If you're just doing it. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.520 You're listening to the Mark Moas Show. We're talking about 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:32.080 the decentralized Revolution, and we're talking about how globalism is ending, 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.640 and that's what this war is all about. I got 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.679 a whole lot more news stories to cover when I 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.480 come back in a minute, so don't go away. I'm 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.679 gonna be right back, all right, Welcome back. You are 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.080 listening to the Mark Moss Show. We're talking about, of course, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.800 each and every week, the decentralized Revolution, talking about the 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.720 way the world is changing, because it is changing fast. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.160 And I'm bringing to you some of the latest breaking 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.399 news headlines that I've seen this week that kind of 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.919 illustrate where this is going and more importantly, kind of 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.520 help us navigate this and position ourselves better for the future. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.120 You know, one of the big things that has been 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.800 going on over the last couple of weeks, and I've 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.080 seen really escalate this this week, was the talks in 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.960 the United States about the debt limit, the debt ceiling. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.440 And you know, I mean, it's the stupidest argument, stupidest conversation. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.560 It just continues to come back over and over and 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.160 over again. The government pretends like, we've hit the debt 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.879 limit and we have to raise the debt limit if 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.639 we want to continue to fund the government. And then 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.840 you get this rhetoric from Biden comes out and says 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.760 that the government's gonna shut down. The government will default 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.520 on the debt if we don't raise the debt ceiling. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.080 That's what they say. Obviously, we've kind of got this 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.080 a little bit of a Republican majority there in the 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.680 Senate and they kind of controlled purse strings. And so 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.440 there was a conference I watched some of and it 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.120 was with Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and a couple 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.240 other people from the JUPEAT and they are basically saying, look, 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.280 this is like the stupidest rhetoric because the government will 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.800 not default on its debt. This is not going to happen. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.880 The government has more and enough tax revenue to pay 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:06.200 for the interest on the debt. So there's just there's 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:10.399 no way that there's a default unless they decide to 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.480 take the money they have, which is more than enough 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.800 to cover the interest and not pay it and instead 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.080 spend it somewhere else. So that would be like, for example, 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.760 your house payment is one thousand dollars a month and 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.720 you make two thousand dollars a month, so you make 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.199 more than enough to pay for your house payment. But 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.159 you could decide not to pay your house payment, and 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.040 you could decide to quantification and do all these other 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.439 things by clothes and by the fancy dinners and not 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.280 pay it, and then you could default. And that's basically 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.720 the situation the US government's in. We have enough revenue 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.320 to pay the interest. That's what Rampaul and Ted Crews 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.399 are saying. There's no to even mention. The word default 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.280 is just ludicrous unless you decide to not pay it. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.520
