1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome back to another episode of the Mark

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,399
Speaker 1: Moa Show, talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: talking about bitcoin and talking about the decentralized revolution. Bringing

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: you the latest education, information and breaking news so you

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: stay up to date on what's going on. I get it.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: I get it. It's difficult, it's hard to understand. But

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: don't worry. I'm gonna make it very, very easy to understand.

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: There's so much going on, so much you need to understand. Now,

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Bitcoin doesn't have a marketing department. There's no company, there's

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: no president, there's no ceo, there's no no marketing department. Um.

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: But that's okay because the governments around the world are

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: doing their best job at doing marketing for us. And

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: if you just are paying attention at all, you can

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: see it all over the all over the place. UM.

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: I got a lot coming up in the show that

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover. I want to talk about what's happening

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. I want to talk about the United States,

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: the Biden dmunt actually stealing the people's money that maybe

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: didn't know about that. We're gonna talk about that money,

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: how that money gets stolen. I want to talk about

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: what's going on in Ukraine, in Europe with Russia the

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: rest of Europe, and how it may signal the end

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: of the dollar as we know it. I want to

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what's going on up in Canada,

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: and I even I'm going to bring on a special

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: guest that's been boots on the ground in Canada since

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: day one, and it's going to give us his own

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: take on what is going on. A lot to cover,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and dig into it. Um. But

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: right off the bat, I want to talk about something

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: that has gotten almost no play at all. I talk

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: to several people about it, and most people have just

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: not even heard about it. And so UM, you know,

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: most people, when I, if I say what's going on

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, you probably have flashbacks of the United States

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: running away with its tail tucked between its legs, UM

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: leaving so fast that people were like literally hanging onto

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the sides of airplanes trying to get out of there.

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: It was a disaster, a complete disaster. Twenty years UM,

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: twenty trillion dollars down the rain, um and probably left

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: it worse off than when we went there in the

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: first place. Dollars Where did that twenty trillion dollars go.

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: By the way, well, that's how much the United States spent.

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: But when they spent it, that means they gave it

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to someone. So who got it, well, that would most

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: likely be the military industrial complex, the contractors and things

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: like that. They all got super rich. Um. But like

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: I said, it kind of left the country worse off

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: than when they found it um. And not only did

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: they leave it worse off, a lot of those people

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: ended up in a really bad situations. We've been seeing

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: lots of situations about that, and the people there have

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: been having a really hard time, and we've been seeing

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: how cryptocurrency and bitcoin has been helping those people out.

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there was an article that

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: was rand and says impoverished Afghan women are receiving emergency

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: aid in crypto as the tally band limits cast withdraws

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: and millions go hungry, and so lots and lots of

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: people in Afghanistan are going hungry. As a matter of fact,

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: the lady that cuts my hair is from Afghanistan, and

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: she was telling me how she talks to her friend

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan and how her friend can't even really say

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: the things that she wants to stay on the phone

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: because they're listening to all the phone calls and how

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: they're like literally starving to death and and my haircut.

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Lady UM just wants to send her money. But she

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: didn't even have to send her money. And I'm like, well, Katie,

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: just send her bitcoin, right. It's like, oh, I didn't

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: know about that, um and so. But that's what this

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: headline is saying, that these impoverished African women millions are

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: going hungry another receiving aid in cryptocurrency because the Taliban

72
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: is not only listening to their phone calls, but they're

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: controlling the whole banking system. So they're limiting how much

74
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: cash they can withdraw from the system, um and and

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it is due to the economic collapse

76
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: because of the U S sanctions and a shortage of

77
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: cash um that they have. So the Taliban is basically,

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: like I said, limiting what can go in and out

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: of the bank and bank withdraws and so, I mean

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: millions of people just can't even buy food, they can't

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: even buy medicine, things like that. Now, um I had

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: done an earlier segment we talked about, you know, bitcoin

83
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: being used as a humanitarian aid. So here we have

84
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: people that can't even buy food or medicine, and I

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: can't just send the money because the Taliban will take it,

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: but we can send them cryptocurrency, which is pretty amazing.

87
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: According to the u n's World Food Program, they said

88
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: nine eight percent of Afghans don't have enough to eat. Again,

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: that's prother you in. Nine percent of Afghans don't have

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: enough to eat, and they say it's a it's it's

91
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: not just about a lack of money. Um, it's it's

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: about the way the Taliban has been doing it. But

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: it's also because that the Afghan Central Bank had ten

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: billion dollars frozen by the United States. So not only

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: did the United States go in there and tear up

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: the country, leave everybody stranded, and now the Talibans um

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: basically ruined them through authoritarian iron fist, then the United

98
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: States went and froze the bank's money. Now, of course

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: that bank, those deposits are made up of people, so

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: you and I keep our money in the bank. If

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: the United States froze that bank's assets, then you and

102
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to get our money out of

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the bank to go buy food and pay our bills.

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happened. And so these people and

105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan are just desperate and uh, they've lost especially

106
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the women specifically because they lost their jobs because the

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Taliban policies, and a lot of them are soul breadwinners

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: of their families. Of course, it's been war torn for

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: twenty years, so there's a lot of you know, probably

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: single single families, single mothers there. Um, And now here

111
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: we are, we can't even send them humanitarian aid. We

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: can't even send them emergency payments because the JP, Morgan

113
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: Chase and Western Union have them all blocked because they're

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: afraid of going against the sanctions the United States has

115
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: put onto them, so they can't even get them money.

116
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: But here we are, cryptocurrency Bitcoin is here to save

117
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the day. And it's been amazing what's been going on

118
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: over there, and a lot of these women have actually

119
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: turned to UM learning how to use cryptocurrency, even learning

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: how to write code and even program on cryptocurrency to

121
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: earn money. That's pretty amazing. But things took a turn

122
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: for the worse this week. And when I say it

123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: turned for the worse, UM, there's a headline that came

124
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: out just a couple of days ago in the New

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: York Times. Biden's decision on the frozen funds stokes anger

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: among Afghans. Quote it's a cruel act and a betrayal

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: end quote one shopkeeper set of the White House's move,

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: which could effectively bankrupt the Afghan central banks. So what happened?

129
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: So as I said that the United States decided to

130
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: freeze the Afghan central banks money, and over the last

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: couple of days, the Biden administration decided to take it all.

132
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: They're not gonna unfreeze it. As a matter of fact,

133
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna take it. They took their money. Um, and

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: so what does that mean? So the Biden administration froze

135
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the roughly seven billion in central bank assets that the

136
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: now defunct Western BacT government had on deposit the Federal Reserve,

137
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: and um, they decided to take it. They're gonna get

138
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: take half the money, three point five billion, and they're

139
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: going to somehow divided up between living relatives of the

140
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: victims of nine eleven terrorist attacks. Okay, well, were the

141
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks found to be done by the Afghanistan people,

142
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about whoever these terrors are I'm talking

143
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: about the people like you and I we have our

144
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: money at the bank. Are the people responsible for that?

145
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: That was never found out to be a case as

146
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. Um, the United States said, hey,

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: you're aiding and embedding these terrorists, and um, we need

148
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: you to turn over Osama bun Laden And the Taliban

149
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: government said, we will, We will give you Osama bin

150
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Ladden if you can give us proof that he was involved,

151
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: which of course they never could and they never did.

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: So here we are. The government took took their money.

153
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Seven half of it's going to go towards the whatever

154
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: the relatives of victims of nine eleven get that, and

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: then the other half of the money is going to

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: be given out to some sort of like humanitarian aid. Um.

157
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be steered towards humanitarian aid for Afghanistan. Um.

158
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: But who's gonna get it? How much of that money

159
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: is actually going to get to the people that need

160
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: it or the people that have the people that have

161
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: their money in the bank. Now, of course we're talking

162
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: about why you maybe don't want to have your money

163
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: in the bank because the government can take it at

164
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: any time, which is what bitcoin is here for Remember,

165
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: bitcoin solved the oldest problem in history. I can store

166
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: my wealth in a way that cannot be taken, cannot

167
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: be seized, cannot be stolen, and if I want to

168
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: send it to you, nobody can stop it or block

169
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: it or prevent It's freedom money. Of course, that means

170
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: I have to custody it out my own, not trusted

171
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: in a bank, and in order to custody on my own,

172
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: that poses its own risks. I'm gonna be back with

173
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: more talking about how you need to worry about protecting

174
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: your wealth. Don't go away, all right, Welcome back. You

175
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: are listening to the Markma Show. We're talking about the

176
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: decentralized revolution that we are witnessing that we're living through.

177
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: You know, times are times of change are scary because

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: they're uncertain, but I can also look and think that

179
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty dang exciting because man, history books are gonna

180
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: be written about what is going on right now now.

181
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Before the break, I was talking about, um, what's going

182
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: on in Afghanistan? Um, And not because I just care

183
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: so much about Afghanistan, but more importantly, because, as I

184
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: was saying, the governments around the world are doing the

185
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: marketing for bitcoin. They are proving the use case why

186
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: we need it. A lot of people in the United States,

187
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: um still would ask me, Mark, why do we need

188
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: something like cryptocurrency? And makes no sense. Now, if you

189
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: live in Venezuela or Argentina, or Lebanon, or Iran or Afghanistan,

190
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: you'd get it from the United States. You don't because

191
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, we typically have a pretty good, you know,

192
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: financial system. I mean, you know, never mind the fact

193
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: that your money's lost nine percent of its purchasing power

194
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: in the last hundred years. But for the most part,

195
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's not so bad. But um, now the

196
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: governments are really trying to do bitcoins marketing for them.

197
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: And I was talking about how the Biden administration this

198
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: week decided to I'm just gonna use the words steal.

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: They use the word seized. Whatever steal. The Biden administration

200
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: decided to steal the people Afghanistan's money and to redistribute

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: as they see fit. And so all those people that

202
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: had their money in the bank now lost it now.

203
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Of course, the White House's decisions drew criticism from human

204
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: rights groups, lawyers, and financial experts, who warned that the

205
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: move could gut the country's central bank for years to come,

206
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: crippling its ability to establish monetary policy and manage the

207
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: country's balance of payments. Um John Sifton, the Asia Asia

208
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Advocacy director of Human Writes Watch, said quote the decision

209
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: would create a problematic precedent for commandeering sovereign wealth and

210
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: do little to address underlying factors driving Afghanistans a massive

211
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis. So they're already having a hard enough time,

212
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: and now you've got the big bad United States just

213
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: coming and take their money, just redistribute it. And so

214
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: again the governments of the world, the United States, Canada,

215
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: they're proving why we should um be able to custo

216
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: our own cones. Uh. Typically with investments or talking about

217
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: buying bitcoin, you'd say, only only invest what you can

218
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: afford to lose. I had some I had one friend

219
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: this morning text me and he said, Mark, I'm kind

220
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: of worried about my money in the banks. Um, what

221
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: should I do? I said, only keep the money in

222
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the bank you can afford to lose. Which is pretty

223
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: crazy that you have to think about it that way,

224
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: but that's the way it is. If you're in Canada

225
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: and you show any sympathy, including even commenting on social

226
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: media in favor of the Freedom Convent. Way, you could

227
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: have your bank accounts frozen or seized. If you went

228
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: to Washington d c UM during times of protest and

229
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: they flagged you there because used your credit card, you

230
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: could have had your bank accounts seized. If you happen

231
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: to be just a regular person in Afghanistan and had

232
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,119
Speaker 1: your money in the bank account, you get your money seized.

233
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: And so Um, it's it's becoming more and more important.

234
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, they're doing the marketing for them.

235
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: Like I told my friend this morning, I only keep

236
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: the money in the bank that you can't afford to lose.

237
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: And it's crazy that we have to think about it

238
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: in the in those terms. But um, that's basically where

239
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: we're app now. As the United States continues to get

240
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: more and more um authoritarian, or I should say, UM,

241
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: as they continue to weaponize the US dollar. Um, it's

242
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,359
Speaker 1: really changed in the entire shape and outlook of the world. UM.

243
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: I think we've obviously seen at this point, unless you've

244
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: again been asleeper in a coma, you've seen that we

245
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: are in an escalating conflict with the Ukraine and Russia.

246
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: I guess we could say, and um, you know, not

247
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: to dig into the aspects of the war necessarily, but um,

248
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: what we can see is sort of the same thing

249
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: that's going on over there. The United States is weaponizing

250
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: the dollar. Um, you know, we're threatening Russia and putin

251
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: that if you go in there, we're going to slap

252
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: sanctions on you. What does that mean. Slap sanctions, Well,

253
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: that means more economic sanctions. That means more freezing of accounts,

254
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: That means more seizing money out of accounts. And so

255
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: if you happen to be in Russia and you happen

256
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: to be a Russian citizen, that probably has nothing to

257
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: do with a war or invasion. You probably don't even

258
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: want it, you don't even care about it, maybe you

259
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: don't even know about it. But your money happens to

260
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: be in a Russian bank because that's what you do

261
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: with your money, right, You put in a bank. And

262
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: now the United States wants to slap sanctions and now

263
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: freeze the assets of that bank. And you just happen

264
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: to be a citizen, Well, now sorry, your money is

265
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: now frozen. That's how that works, you know. Um, there's

266
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: a lot of bad things going on in the world today,

267
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not advocating for those bad things. UM. Take

268
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: our take Iran for example. Not to dig into politics

269
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: of Iran, but you know there's obviously, um, the whole

270
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: thing that's going on there with them trying to you know,

271
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: come on with a nuclear program. And obviously you know,

272
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: it seems kind of like as an American you probably

273
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: don't want them to have nuclear weapons. Um. For some reason,

274
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: the Biden Obama admin wants them to have nuclear weapons. Um.

275
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: But because of the sanctions that we've had against them.

276
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: If you if you're a thirteen or fifteen year old

277
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: kid from Iran, you can't get a bank account. You

278
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: probably have you probably don't know anything about what's going

279
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: on in there. You're just a kid. You don't care

280
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: about it, you're not sympathetic for it, but you're not

281
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: allowed to be in the banking system. And so while

282
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating that they should have nuclear weapons, UM,

283
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: it's too bad for that fifteen year old kid that

284
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: just wants to start an Instagram account and make some

285
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: money and he can't. You know, these uh, these games

286
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: that these politicians play, they affect all of US and um,

287
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: you know a nation, you know, Russia, Ukraine, US want

288
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: to go to war. We don't care about that. I

289
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: don't care about the war. I don't hate Russians, I

290
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: don't hate Chinese. People don't hate any of those people,

291
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: and they don't hate us either. It's these leaders that

292
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: want to start these conflicts and play these games that

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: drag US into it, and then unfortunately people people pay

294
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: the price. Right, the people in Afghanistan got their money seized,

295
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: the people in in Russia get their money seized. That's

296
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: what's happening. But what happens is that as these governments

297
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: do that, and guess what happens. Well, Russia has been

298
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: the largest accumulator of gold in the world. Well, I'm sorry,

299
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: China has been the largest accumulator, but Russia has been

300
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: trying to keep up pace pretty fast accumulating gold and um.

301
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: Russia is providing the rest of Europe with energy. And

302
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: so if the United States says, okay, well now more

303
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: sanctions on Russia, then Russia could just cut Europe off

304
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: of energy, gas, oil, etcetera. Or they could say, well,

305
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, the United States locks US out of the

306
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: financial system, so now we have to transact with you

307
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,479
Speaker 1: in something else like gold, for example, or like cryptocurrency,

308
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: because the United States can't shut down cryptocurrency, and so

309
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see Russia do that. Now, if I was

310
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: having a party and I started kicking people out of

311
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: the party, eventually I'm the only one left at the

312
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: party and everyone else is having their own parties somewhere else.

313
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: And so the more you see the United States trying

314
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: to slap sanctions and sees bank accounts, the more they'll

315
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: be kicking people out of the finance system. And really,

316
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: like I said, doing marketing as why people should be

317
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: using some cryptocurrencies UM and bitcoin, etcetera. And it's only

318
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: accelerating what is the inevitable right we should as people

319
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: have the right to control our own money UM, and

320
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: governments should not be using that to manipulate this or

321
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: bend us to their will. And the more they do that,

322
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: the faster they are just going to speed this up. UM.

323
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: And right now the pressure is on Russia and UM,

324
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: like I said, they have a massive gold stash. Will

325
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: they go back to gold, will they go back to cryptocurrency?

326
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, But what I do know is that

327
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: it is going to speed up the inevitable decline of

328
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: the use of the dollar UM in in the United

329
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: States and globally as well. UM. You're listening to the

330
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Mark Moa Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution that's happening.

331
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology.

332
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: We're talking about bitcoin. What's going on so you can

333
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: understand it in the broader context of what's going on.

334
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: I have a lot more that I want to dig into, UM,

335
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: what the Federal Reserve the United States has been doing,

336
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: what's going on up in Canada. So much more to

337
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: talk about. I'll be back in a second. Don't go away, Hey, everyone,

338
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Moss Show.

339
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: We're talking about the decentralized revolution that's happening. Now. Before

340
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: the break, we've covered a lot of ground hopefully didn't miss.

341
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: But really what we're showing today is that UM as

342
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: I've been saying that the oldest problem that mankind has

343
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: had is how do I secure my wealth in a

344
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: way that can't be stolen from me? UM. For the

345
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: first UM humans alive, it was how do I secure

346
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: my you know, maybe my food, uh, from my food

347
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: not getting stolen my chickens and my goats. Um, then

348
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: it was gold. You know, we formed a village and

349
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: then a kingdom and then a country. UM. And we're

350
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: still having that problem today. And while a lot of

351
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: people don't understand why bitcoin and cryptocurrency is important, especially

352
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: if you're in the United States, if you're in other

353
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: countries where they're inflating away your currency or seizing your

354
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: currency or stopping you or blocking you from either sending

355
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: it or receiving it from somebody else, you get it.

356
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: But the United States, Canada, it's been pretty hard for

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: some people to see that because they're just they're so

358
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: focused on their own life they don't see the problems

359
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: that the rest of the world has. But today we're

360
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: seeing the governments of the world really rallying hard to

361
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: try to promote cryptocurrency as strong as they can. And

362
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: so we talked about how UM the Biden admin decided

363
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: this week they were going to steal UM the Afghanistans

364
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: people's funds and redistribute them as they see fit. So

365
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: if you had your money, and if you're an Afghanistan

366
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: you your money in the bank, Sorry, we just lost

367
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: it all because the government decided to take it. Not

368
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: the government of Afghanistan, the United States government de stided

369
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: to take it. Um. We talked about what's going on

370
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: in Russia and Ukraine and how um, pretty much whatever

371
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: is going to happen in the United States is gonna

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: slap more sanctions on um Russia. And if you're a

373
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Russian citizen and you happen to have your money in

374
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: the bank, it's gonna be bad for you, right UM.

375
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: And so they're just doing more and more marketing UM

376
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: as to why we need these types of things. And

377
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: of course our neighbors in the North and Canada are

378
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: also seeing the exact same thing. And while while Canada

379
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: and these other countries have really proven the case what

380
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: we need it, um, we're also seen that at the

381
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: same time, at the exact same time, our leaders in

382
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: the United States are proving even more reasons. And not

383
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: because they're se easing it, which as I said, they

384
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: already are, but like we saw this week, Uh, well,

385
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: we've been covering for quite a while now that the

386
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the United States, the

387
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: one that prints the money out of thin air, the

388
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: one that pumps the money into the markets. The one

389
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: that knows what what companies or bonds they're going to

390
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: prop up has been doing insider trading on that information.

391
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: So they were buying these stocks, these companies, investing this

392
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: money before they were passing these financial policies. Seems kind

393
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: of like a conflict of interest. Now, if you or

394
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: I did that, that of course gets us a nice

395
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: pair of handcuffs and we get aware of probably a

396
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: nice orange jumpsuit for a really long time, like like

397
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart had to go to some time. But of

398
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: course if the government, politicians and the central bankers do it,

399
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: no big deal. That's a problem, right, rules for the

400
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: not for me. Now, we saw this week that the

401
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve refused to release sixty pages of correspondents on

402
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: pandemic trades scandal. So what does that mean? So, um,

403
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve, as I said, was doing insider trading

404
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: on this. They did some investigation. Um, three top Federal

405
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: Reserve officials lost their jobs, including the Dallas and Boston

406
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: Fed presidents, as well as that of the vice chair Clarita.

407
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: And you would think that, um, something this big, this

408
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: big of a matter, this public um, you would think

409
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: it would be fully in the public domain. But of course,

410
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: you know you'd be wrong. They don't want to even

411
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: know about this um and so Reuters had to do

412
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: what's called the Freedom of Information Act, the FOIA request

413
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: to get the information, and the FEDS that there was

414
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: about sixty pages of correspondence between ethics officials and policymakers

415
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: recording regarding financial transactions conducted during the pandemic year, which

416
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: have become an extremely sore spot for the FED and

417
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: members of Congress who are demanding full transparency as to

418
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: who knew and who did what and when. The only

419
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: problem is no one's allowed to see them, as the

420
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: FED quote unquote denied in full to release the documents,

421
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: citing exemptions under the Information Next. So under the Freedom

422
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: of Information Act, they're supposed to release this. Congress is

423
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: demanding full transparency, and the FED denied it. Nope, you

424
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: don't get it, uh, it says, uh. Well, so they

425
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: cited an exemption under the Information Act, and it said

426
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: it applied in this case. Uh. Now, typically, traditionally an

427
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: exemption would only be used in a matter of national security.

428
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: So how does allegations of insider trading by a bunch

429
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: of millionaires that control the money. How does that threaten

430
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: the US democracy? I'd like to know. But the point

431
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: here is that there's absolutely no transparency with the people

432
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: that create the money. No transparency, no accountability. We know

433
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: that they did these things, we know that they enriched

434
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: themselves before they passed these financial policies using the legal

435
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: ramification is that we have we've requested the information and

436
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: they said no, and then what, no big deal. They

437
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want, right And so the problem is,

438
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: while on one hand they're completely manipulated system, completely enriching

439
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: themselves at our expense, at the same time they expect

440
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: a hundred transparency from you. I probably talked about earlier

441
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: a few months ago, where the I R s now

442
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: wants to regulate every bank account that has more than

443
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars of transaction. So, if your account has

444
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: more than six hundred dollars, the IRIS wants to know

445
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: every single transaction that you do in your bank account. Oh,

446
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: but you know there are trillions of dollars. No, no

447
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: big deal, we don't need to know that. You have

448
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: no right to know what they're doing. And that's the problems.

449
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: The bitcoin is an open source network it's good and bad. Right,

450
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: it's open source, so everybody can see this full countability.

451
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: We don't have to trust that the Fed isn't doing

452
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: something shady, because we already know they are. If there

453
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: wasn't something shady, they would have released the documents. Um Bitcoin,

454
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: you don't trust, you verify. The network's open. We know

455
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: that nobody can create more money. If somebody was doing

456
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: something shady, that we we would see that. And so

457
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: while on one hand they're fighting this trying to hide this,

458
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: on the other hand, they're saying that we want to

459
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: examine with a magnifying glass every single transaction you do

460
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: with six hundred bucks, because you know you know terrorism, right,

461
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: You're six hundred dollars could be funding terrorism. Never mind

462
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: the billions of dollars that we left behind for them

463
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: in afghanist and never mind that you're six hundred dollars

464
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: could be leading to terrorism. So I just I cite

465
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: this just because of the contrast that we're seeing here. Right,

466
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: the government wants to seize your money. The Biden administration

467
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: says they're going to pass executive actions to regulate cryptocurrencies

468
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve. I'm sorry that the Treasury, Janet Yellen

469
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: says that she wants the ability to freeze any accounts

470
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: that she thinks need to be frozen for whatever reason

471
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: she thinks they need to be. Of course, they don't

472
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: tell us that. But at the same time, they're using

473
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: insider trading and printing currency, basically stealing money from us

474
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: to enrich themselves, and we have no we have no

475
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: ac countability to that. That's the problem, you see. That's

476
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: the thing with bitcoin versus cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is trying to

477
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: change the system. Bitcoin puts the system in place that

478
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: nobody can control. Instead of a instead of twelve board

479
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: governors and the FED that can just create more money,

480
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: no one can control it. No one can control bitcoin.

481
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: The difference with cryptocurrency is that people can so ethereum

482
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: number two cryptocurrency. One of the big problems is we

483
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: don't know how many ethereum there will be one day.

484
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: There's no there's no fixed supply cap like with bitcoin.

485
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: Twenty one million and so Ittalic Buterin and boys that

486
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: that that uh developed ethereum got together a few months

487
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: ago and they changed that, and they changed it. But

488
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the very fact that people can change that at will

489
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: is the same as the system that we have today,

490
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: the same as the system that we don't have um

491
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: and then, like I said, then we have the problem

492
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: where they can basically freeze our assets. And that's exactly

493
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: what's happening up in Canada. Justin should go invoke this

494
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Emergency's Act for the first time since it was past

495
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: in not for nine eleven bombing, you know, not for pandemic,

496
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: but because some truckers parked their trucks. It's an urgent,

497
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: critical situation and using this Emergency Act, they can freeze

498
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: people's accounts and sees people's money for nothing, for no reason.

499
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring somebody on in a second, and we're

500
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: gonna hear some boots on the ground. What is going

501
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: on up in Canada. You don't want to miss this.

502
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of misinformation going on on on online.

503
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: So I thought, let's hear from somebody who's been there

504
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: since day one. Don't go away. Hey, everyone, welcome back.

505
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Mark Moa Show, and we

506
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: are talking about bitcoin. We're talking about the decentralized revolution

507
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: that is happening around the world. And you know, there's

508
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things happening as the world become decentralized,

509
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: as bitcoin is solving the money and one of the

510
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: many things that we have been talking about is you know,

511
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid that bitcoin is able to do. And of

512
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: course we have this situation in Canada we've been talking

513
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: about extensively, and I was able to get somebody that's

514
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: boots on the ground down there since day one in

515
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: Ottawa in Canada, and I wanted to just bring some

516
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: perspective of what's really going on down there. So I

517
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: have Colin ross A k A Big Bear. He's with me,

518
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: big Bear, Thanks for joining me. Hey, thanks for having me. Yeah. Man,

519
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: So I've been covering what's going on down in Canada

520
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 1: for quite a while. Um. I like to look at

521
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: things in context, so you know, the political, financial technology

522
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: side that's happening, and it's pretty amazing what's happening. It's

523
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: it's sad, it's amazing, but I wanted to bring some perspective.

524
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: You're kind of the first person I've talked to boots

525
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: on the ground now. Um. First off, I would say,

526
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: there seems to be a lot of misinformation. So everything

527
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: that I've seen on Twitter, um, it seems like it's

528
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: people that are happy people that are have lots of

529
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: love for each other. I see dancing and I see

530
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: Canadian flags everywhere. But then the media is trying to

531
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: tell us that it's a racist and misogynists and it's

532
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: it's a violent. Um you've you've been there since day

533
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: one on the ground. Give us an overview of what

534
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: it's like being down there and what the what the

535
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, the moods like and so forth. Um So,

536
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the atmosphere here and Ottawa has been absolutely amazing. I've

537
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: honestly never seen anything like it in my entire life.

538
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Like we've been calling it the love Revolution because there's

539
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: so many people giving hugs and just showing love to

540
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: one another. There's so much there's food going around everywhere,

541
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: there's people you know, giving t shirts out, you name it. Um,

542
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: it's absolutely incredible. What's happening in Ottawa right now? Yeah,

543
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: that's awesome. UM Now it seems like, um, I is

544
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: it growing? I mean it seems like I saw like

545
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: one of the bridges got clear, but now it looks

546
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: like a couple more bridges are getting filled up. So

547
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: is the is the is the freedom Convoy? I don't

548
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: know exactly what you're calling it is it is it

549
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: seems to be growing or is it like losing steam

550
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: or picking up steam? The momentum is growing across the

551
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: world right now. Okay, so we planted the seed in

552
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Canada right now, the Americans are about to get wrapped up.

553
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: They're starting their convoy on DC in the next couple

554
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: of weeks. And no, it is not slowing down. There's

555
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: people pouring into Ottawa more and more by the day.

556
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Some people are getting tired and going home, you know,

557
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: they have jobs to go to, they have families to

558
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: take care of, so that's expected. But has any of

559
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: the truckers left. Absolutely not. They're holding their ground there.

560
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: They're here for the long run. Yeah. Now, I've been

561
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: talking about this a lot of just in a sense

562
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: where we're kind of at this stage where there's this

563
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: revolution that's happening, and it happens about every two or

564
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: fifty years, and the more that the leadership seems to

565
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: want to squeeze it off, the more that people push back.

566
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it seems like to me

567
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: that to the point, the more that they're trying to

568
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: squeeze in, it's almost attracting more people to it. I

569
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: was just curious as of whatever it was a day

570
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: or two ago, a couple of days ago. Um, I

571
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: guess Trudeau kind of pulled the nuclear um weapon out

572
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: and said that, you know, now he's got these Emergencies

573
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Act and he's going to start seizing bank accounts and

574
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: trucks and things like that. And so I just doesn't

575
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: seem like people are being discouraged by that. Uh No, Actually,

576
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: if anything, it's pissing more people off because they see

577
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: the lies for what they are clear as day. Now.

578
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, even the people that weren't believers are believers. Now.

579
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: There's a big shift happening right now. It's there's a

580
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: there's an information war going on. Like I become like

581
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: my own news anchor literally just on TikTok. I grew

582
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: up following of you know, thirty thousand people in two weeks,

583
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: and we are out there spreading the real news, not

584
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: this propaganda machine that's paid off by the government to

585
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: go off scripts and just lie to our people and

586
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: demonize what this movement is actually about. Yeah, now, um,

587
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and shout out what your TikTok is. Uh

588
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 1: it's at the Big Bear movement. But I actually just

589
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: had to start a new one because that account got

590
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: blocked last night. So it's culling big bear Roth now. Um.

591
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: One thing that I've been focused on is, like I said,

592
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: with bitcoin and the humanitarian Aide. So obviously the big

593
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: news was about ten million dollars was raised via go

594
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: fund me, and that money got frozen, got kind of

595
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: got season. There was another um, I don't know was

596
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: it five million or so that was in the gifts

597
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: and go that got blocked. And now there's all this money,

598
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: um that's being raised through bitcoin. Um have you seen

599
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: some of that money getting dispersed out or how? How

600
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: has that been working? This this fundraising effort, like with

601
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: the cryptocurrency, have I seen it being dispersed? Yeah? So

602
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: I know they're really going and trying to get all

603
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: the truckers signed up with crypto wallets. They came out

604
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: with the Convoy Freedom token, right, and I know they're

605
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: really pushing that. That's that's Pat King's deal. Uh, it's

606
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: a legit you know token. And I think that the

607
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: plan is to really get a lot of money behind it,

608
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: to be honest, and then every time you make a

609
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: withdrawal or you buy there's four go to the truckers.

610
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: From that. Another thing that I would ask is that,

611
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Trudeau and and the and the mainstream

612
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: media is trying to say that this is very fringe, right,

613
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: he says that this doesn't represent most of Canadians. Now,

614
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: as far as I know, there hasn't been any poll

615
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: that's been done, There hasn't been any vote taken, So

616
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: obviously he I don't know how he makes that claim.

617
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Um you obviously I would have imagined have another, um,

618
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: look at that being boots on the ground. But what

619
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: does the air like, I mean it does it? Does

620
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: it seem like it's a fringe minority or do you

621
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: think this is really taking over Canada. It's taking over Canada,

622
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. There was three million people

623
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: here last weekend. They tried to the news tried to

624
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: say there was a couple of couple of thousands, and

625
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: then thousands of counter protestors. That's total bus I've been

626
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: here since day one. I came with the convoy from

627
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: British Columbia. I've seen it for what it is and like,

628
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: it's insane how many people are here. And not only that,

629
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: there is protests across Canada. You know, there's like I

630
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: think there was about sixteen city blocks in Calgary alone

631
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: last weekend. People m M. Yeah, so it's big and

632
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: it's growing, and um, everyone seems to be pretty dug

633
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: in for the long haul at this point. Absolutely, uh,

634
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: we we leave until we see change. We came here

635
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: to get all the mandates dropped, not just for one province,

636
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: for all Canadians. This is tyranny. Okay, let's leads all

637
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: to the World Economic Forum. You know, this is the

638
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: great reset. They want to bankrupt us, think over what

639
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: we own and control us. You know this is They

640
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: even say it on the Canadian website about the social

641
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: credit score system, the Chinese social credit source system. This

642
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: is communism. M hm. So um, that's a good question.

643
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: So you said until you're not leaving until the I

644
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: don't know the demands are matter the things that you're asking.

645
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: So basically you're asking that they just roll back the

646
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: mandates to where what where they worked two years ago.

647
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: They need to drop all the mandates for all Canadians.

648
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: The real pandemic has been you know, they're killing our

649
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: small businesses. People are dying from mental health, from suicide,

650
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: from addiction, I still yet to know anyone who's died

651
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: from COVID. Okay, they created a they have a virus.

652
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: Yes it's real, but it's become the fear of virus,

653
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: and they've used it to push to push their agenda.

654
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: And that's wrong, that's evil. So we've seen that some

655
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: of the states have started to roll back those mandates.

656
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: But that's not enough. You you didn't you want I'm

657
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: dropped in the whole nation. We want him dropped on

658
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: the entire nation. Right now, we have a lot of

659
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: our political power starting to roll back because they know

660
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: their political careers are going to be screwed if they don't.

661
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: So a lot of them are all backpeddling already. We

662
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: just need the house of cards to fall. It needs

663
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: a domino effect and they all need to fall. So

664
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: for people that are listening to this right now and

665
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: they wanna kind of fall along, is there anything that

666
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: they should be paying attention to or more resources that

667
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: you would point them to? Uh, you know, I've not.

668
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: TikTok has really become the media for their you know,

669
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: people are just constantly loading videos on there. They've been

670
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: blocking our live streams, they've been blocking our Facebook I've

671
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: had so many accounts already get taken down since I've

672
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: been here in the last two or a couple of weeks,

673
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: and so you know, just checking up on the convoy

674
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,560
