Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Mark
Speaker 1: Mas Show. We're always talking about the decentralized revolution, looking
Speaker 1: at the world through politics, finance, and technology to find
Speaker 1: the signal through the noise. We're looking at some of
Speaker 1: the latest breaking news headlines this week, and I got
Speaker 1: some big stories that I want to cover. Man, these
Speaker 1: these stories are really so much bigger than just the
Speaker 1: actual story. And I'm going to break down some of
Speaker 1: these things that are happening in the world today. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring them into context so you can understand
Speaker 1: how they're not just loan pieces. They're much much, much
Speaker 1: much bigger pieces of a much much bigger story. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover the autoworker strike. It is not what
Speaker 1: you think it is. It's much much bigger than that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break that down. We're gonna look at some
Speaker 1: of the censorship pieces that was going on. I want
Speaker 1: to look at what the FED and the other central
Speaker 1: banks have just decided to do.
Speaker 2: We're gonna cover.
Speaker 1: A whole bunch of stuff I covered here. We'll break
Speaker 1: it down. You don't want to miss it, so don't
Speaker 1: tune out. But I'm gonna brea get down first by
Speaker 1: talking about what the heck is going on in the
Speaker 1: United States and Canada. What's going on in the United
Speaker 1: States and Canada. So in the US, we're starting to
Speaker 1: see a lot of signs, and I want to connect
Speaker 1: a couple dots for you here. What do automobiles have
Speaker 1: in common with food and groceries? And what is the
Speaker 1: US have in common with Canada? Well, don't worry, I'll
Speaker 1: break that down for you.
Speaker 2: So you're probably already aware, you know you could.
Speaker 1: You can go catch the news headlines anywhere, right you
Speaker 1: can just brew browse CNN or Fox or wherever you
Speaker 1: want to get your news, and you can get the
Speaker 1: news stories. But no one's going to connect the dots
Speaker 1: for you like I'm going to do right now. So
Speaker 1: what do we got going on here? We have the UAW,
Speaker 1: the United Auto Workers. They're on a big strike, as
Speaker 1: a targeted strike is a planet is going to affect
Speaker 1: all the big auto manufacturers. It began with about one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five thousand workers walking out of three
Speaker 1: auto plants in hopes of you know, getting paid more money. Now,
Speaker 1: again that's the news. But what happened well about a
Speaker 1: decade ago, automakers were, you know, on the verge of bankruptcy.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, GM was going bankrupt. The
Speaker 1: government had to step in to save them. There was
Speaker 1: a big agreement to accept the contracts that no longer
Speaker 1: tied workers pay to inflation. Now, if they didn't do this,
Speaker 1: they were going to lose their job. So I guess
Speaker 1: they went ahead and just did this. Now was this
Speaker 1: a bad deal? I don't know. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: dig into that doesn't really matter at this point. But
Speaker 1: here's what matters. They didn't tie their wages to inflation,
Speaker 1: and so what.
Speaker 2: Does that mean.
Speaker 1: That means that the auto workers are losing money on
Speaker 1: a regular basis, so their pay is going up. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, the US autoworkers manufacturing production lines
Speaker 1: earned about twenty eight dollars per hour in average. That
Speaker 1: was in August. It's up a dollar from the previous year.
Speaker 1: So their pay went up a dollar the average autoworker.
Speaker 1: But the problem is that inflation, the cost of living
Speaker 1: went up even faster. Now, if we go back to
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven or earlier, we can see that
Speaker 1: they're making anyone had started in about two thousand and
Speaker 1: seven or earlier, which was pre this contract being agreed on.
Speaker 1: Any of those people are now making about thirty three
Speaker 1: dollars an hour on average.
Speaker 2: Now these are summaries for the Big Three.
Speaker 1: Now, like I said, these are people that worked before
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven and they were part of the
Speaker 1: lower tier, so they were earning about seventeen dollars an
Speaker 1: hour back then. Now they're making about thirty three dollars
Speaker 1: an hour, which means they've been increasing their pay by
Speaker 1: about six percent annually. But the problem is, again, inflation
Speaker 1: has been going up higher. The promise of low inflation
Speaker 1: was broken by the government, so the government got them
Speaker 1: into this deal. But because the government can't stop spending money,
Speaker 1: the Biden administration spending more money than anyone ever in history.
Speaker 1: But Trump did before him, and Obama died before him,
Speaker 1: and Bush did before him.
Speaker 2: That's just the way it goes.
Speaker 1: They're spending so much money so fast, inflation is raging
Speaker 1: so high that it's not helping these workers out. They're
Speaker 1: losing money. And these are the guys that are producing
Speaker 1: real goods and services. So while cars have been going okay, overall,
Speaker 1: the workers have been losing money.
Speaker 2: And this is the problem.
Speaker 1: So when you see wages, and not just for auto workers,
Speaker 1: for everybody has been going down even though their pay
Speaker 1: is going up. Their real wages, when adjusted for inflation,
Speaker 1: have been going down because the cost of steaks and
Speaker 1: milk and cheese and houses and gasoline and all those
Speaker 1: things are going up faster than their pay is. So
Speaker 1: when you adjust it for those things, you see that
Speaker 1: they're actually making less and less and less. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's problem number one, But we have some other problems.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The other problem is, like I said, what does that
Speaker 1: have to do with groceries. Well, someone that I had
Speaker 1: on my show just recently, I think it was last week, actually,
Speaker 1: Peter saint On, which, by the way, Pete and I
Speaker 1: are both speaking at the Bitcoin conference in Amsterdam coming
Speaker 1: up in just a couple of weeks. So I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to hanging out with you, Peter. If you're listening,
Speaker 1: and anybody who's going to be in Europe are going
Speaker 1: to be in Ampsdam, I'd love to hear from me.
Speaker 1: Hit me up on social media, let me know.
Speaker 2: But anyway, he.
Speaker 1: Put out an article talking about the breakdown of what's
Speaker 1: going on with these grocery stores, specifically in Chicago. So
Speaker 1: in Chicago, the mayor announced plans for a government run
Speaker 1: grocery store. Why, well, it's the same problem that Canada's
Speaker 1: happening with their grocery stores. You see how all this
Speaker 1: is tied together. Well, how is that tied together with autoworkers. Well,
Speaker 1: it appears that the problem in Canada is the same
Speaker 1: problem in Chicago and the United States for that matter,
Speaker 1: which is that food prices are going up so fast
Speaker 1: that people can't afford to live anymore, not live the
Speaker 1: way they used to. Instead of eating steak, now they
Speaker 1: got to eat rice and beans or whatever. Right, And
Speaker 1: so in Canada it's getting hit particularly hard, much harder
Speaker 1: than the United States. But in the United States happening
Speaker 1: as well. And so you saw justin True go on
Speaker 1: the news over the last couple of weeks saying that
Speaker 1: he's going to demand that these grocery stores stop raising prices.
Speaker 2: How dare these greedy grocery.
Speaker 1: Stores sell for such high prices when people in Canada
Speaker 1: are struggling to live. That's the rally crying. That's the
Speaker 1: rally cry a communist dictator, that's what the rally cry is. Now,
Speaker 1: if these grocery stores were so greedy making all this profit,
Speaker 1: then wouldn't another grocery store just open up and charge
Speaker 1: less prices, because that's how competition works. The reason why
Speaker 1: the groceries are so expensive and people can't afford him
Speaker 1: is because of inflation, because the governments can't stop printing money, okay,
Speaker 1: so as they contin to print more money, it pushes
Speaker 1: the cost of goods and services up. In addition to
Speaker 1: particularly in Canada, but in the United States as well,
Speaker 1: the massive amounts of onerous red tape and bureaucracy that's
Speaker 1: put onto these businesses, they also push their prices up.
Speaker 1: When I have all these legal restrictions and all these
Speaker 1: forms and files, and not have to hire all these
Speaker 1: people for all these inclusions and all these diversity trainings,
Speaker 1: all these reports. It costs money to do that. And
Speaker 1: in order to make a business that actually turns the profit,
Speaker 1: I have to raise the prices of my goods and services.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: When the cost of my lettuce goes up and the
Speaker 1: cost of my labor goes up, I have to sell
Speaker 1: the lettuce for a profit. And that just is what
Speaker 1: it is. The governments are the ones causing the prices
Speaker 1: to go up with their red tape in bureaucracy and
Speaker 1: with their money endless money printing in bureaucracy. But Trudeau
Speaker 1: wants to come in and be the savior and say
Speaker 1: these greedy business owners, we're going to take them over.
Speaker 2: Now that might sound familiar.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that Vladimir Lenin said in Russia,
Speaker 1: same thing that Mouse said in China, the same thing that
Speaker 1: Hitler said in Germany. And it's the same thing that
Speaker 1: Trudeau is challenged today. The government should just take it over,
Speaker 1: which is the exact same thing the Chicago marriage just said.
Speaker 1: He wants government run grocery stores because the people can't
Speaker 1: afford to pay the fees anymore sort of. Another reason
Speaker 1: is because the shoplifters continue to steal so much. So
Speaker 1: why is all this happening? How is the grocery Well,
Speaker 1: I just connected the gro stores in Chicago and the
Speaker 1: United States and Canada. But how does that What does
Speaker 1: that have to do with autos? What's the same thing.
Speaker 1: All around the world, we have this massive migrant problem
Speaker 1: going on. It's all the same thing. Because the United
Speaker 1: States is printing so much dollars. We just increased to
Speaker 1: two tillion dollars deficit Inflation in the US.
Speaker 2: Is really really bad, but because we have the reserve.
Speaker 1: Currency of the world, it's not as bad here as
Speaker 1: it is in Canada and Europe. Inflation is way worse
Speaker 1: in Canada and the UK and Canada than it is here.
Speaker 1: But those are those are top G seven countries. It's
Speaker 1: even way worse in G twenty countries. It's even way
Speaker 1: worse in the Global South. When you get into Africa
Speaker 1: and you get into South America, they're having massive famine,
Speaker 1: they're having political coups happening because the money is broken down.
Speaker 1: This is all because the governments can't quit printing money.
Speaker 2: This is it.
Speaker 1: So now you can't afford groceries in Chicago, you cantifford
Speaker 1: in Canada. You can't afford to work on the auto
Speaker 1: line anymore at an auto manufacturer. You can't afford to
Speaker 1: live in Africa, so you're going to move to Europe.
Speaker 1: And this is all because the money is broken And
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Don't let a crisis a good waste.
Speaker 1: So by the way, let's just blame the greedy businesses
Speaker 1: and we'll just take them over and have a government
Speaker 1: run business structure, sort of like what happened in communist Russia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something like that. If you're just tune in your listening
Speaker 1: to the Mark Mas Show, we're breaking down some of
Speaker 1: the latest breaking news headlines this week as we look
Speaker 1: at the politics, finance, and technology converging. We're back with
Speaker 1: more a minute. Don't go away, We're back, all right,
Speaker 1: Welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Mark Mas Show, we're running through some of the
Speaker 1: latest breaking news headlines this week so you can understand
Speaker 1: what is going on now Again, you can go get
Speaker 1: these news headlines from anywhere. You can turn on CNN
Speaker 1: and they'll read you the news headlines. They might mislead
Speaker 1: you or omit some key facts, but they don't explain
Speaker 1: what it is in context of what's really going on.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to do here. That's what we
Speaker 1: did in this last segment and this week I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for segment. We're digging into more stories that sort of
Speaker 1: build on the theme that we just talked about.
Speaker 2: We talked about the auto workers striking.
Speaker 1: We talked about the mayor of Chicago and the President
Speaker 1: of Canada Trudeau, both went into nationalize literally nationalized takeover
Speaker 1: the grocery stores, the food industry, and all of that
Speaker 1: is because of the massive amount of money printing that's
Speaker 1: been happening. So now let's look at some other big
Speaker 1: breaking news that happened this week about the money printing.
Speaker 1: So we know the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of
Speaker 1: the United States, the ECB, which is the European Central Bank,
Speaker 1: and then you have the BOJ which is the Bank
Speaker 1: of Japan. Those are the three largest central banks in
Speaker 1: the world. They're really the only central banks that matter.
Speaker 1: They're the tier one banks. There's a lot of other
Speaker 1: central banks, but they just don't have enough money or
Speaker 1: policy that really matter. And really the FED and the
Speaker 1: ECB are the big ones. The BOJ has been just
Speaker 1: constantly easing and buying all their bonds in the stocks,
Speaker 1: so it's like we already know what they're doing. They've
Speaker 1: never gone into a tightening, but the FED and the ECB,
Speaker 1: both with Europe, the UK and the US dealing with
Speaker 1: massive amounts of inflation, had to do something. So they
Speaker 1: decided that they would try to tighten. Tighten the monetary policy.
Speaker 1: They try to bring this loose monetary policy, slow the
Speaker 1: economy down, make people lose their jobs, make your rate
Speaker 1: of pay go down, make your stock accounts worth less money?
Speaker 1: Who stop spending money so prices can come back down.
Speaker 1: The problem is that while the FED and the ECB,
Speaker 1: while the central banks are doing that, it's not your
Speaker 1: spending that's causing the problem. It's the government. It's the treasury.
Speaker 1: The US Treasury will not stop spending money. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, the US deficit, meaning the amount of
Speaker 1: money they're spending over the amount of income they have
Speaker 1: coming in just hit two trillion dollars. Wow, two trillion
Speaker 1: dollars they are spending. The US government is spending now
Speaker 1: more than fifty percent more than they were spending just
Speaker 1: pre pandemic. Let's just let's say you live one hundred
Speaker 1: air now you're gonna spen one hundredy g an ayear
Speaker 1: and you're gonna borrow that fifty grand a year.
Speaker 2: Like That's basically where we're at.
Speaker 1: So the FED has been trying to tighten things, but
Speaker 1: the government it continues to spend. But here's the key
Speaker 1: piece here. Obviously, inflation hasn't been slowing down. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, inflation is going back up now. Inflation
Speaker 1: has caused lots of problems auto workers they can't afford
Speaker 1: to live. They're striking, which is gonna guess what make
Speaker 1: prices go up even more? Interesting enough, so they may
Speaker 1: get the pay they want. But then it pushes the
Speaker 1: cost of the cars up higher. So did they really
Speaker 1: get a pay raise. Well, they're taking more dollars home,
Speaker 1: but those dollars buy less. But what's the Fed gonna do? Well,
Speaker 1: the Fed decided they've been on this warpath of tightening.
Speaker 2: Trying to slow things down. So all eyes are on
Speaker 2: the Fed. What are they gonna do?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna hike rates again? Well, this week they
Speaker 1: decided to put a pause on it. They decide to
Speaker 1: hold interra straight steady at the five point twenty five
Speaker 1: to five point five percent range. But they said, maybe, maybe,
Speaker 1: maybe we might we might hike again. We might. We
Speaker 1: don't know, but we might.
Speaker 2: There's a chance.
Speaker 1: So here we have the most important central bank in
Speaker 1: the world. The Fed said, we might be done tightening.
Speaker 2: We might be.
Speaker 1: We're going to pause for now. We might hike in
Speaker 1: the future, but we're going to pause for now. The ECB,
Speaker 1: the second most important central bank of the world, they
Speaker 1: also decided to pause. As a matter of fact, they
Speaker 1: hiked again, but they said that they're not going to
Speaker 1: raise anymore. So we have inflation raging. The auto workers
Speaker 1: are striking, the grocery stores are being nationalized because of inflation.
Speaker 1: They're trying to slow inflation down. And here we have
Speaker 1: the two most important central banks in the world, who
Speaker 1: are a lot of the cause of this, that have
Speaker 1: been trying to stop it, are now seemingly to throw
Speaker 1: in the towel. Are they done?
Speaker 2: They're going to quit now again.
Speaker 1: The FED says they could come back, they could come
Speaker 1: back and raise rates one more time, but we don't
Speaker 1: know they're Drone Powell, the head of the Federals review
Speaker 1: some metaphor at the Wyoming meeting, like we're go saying
Speaker 1: something about we're.
Speaker 2: Navigating by the stars under the night.
Speaker 1: Sky or something like that, like we're just reading the
Speaker 1: tea leaves, like whatever. The data says, we'll do this now.
Speaker 1: If we look at the FED rate monitor tool, it
Speaker 1: says that a cut to five or five and a
Speaker 1: quarter basis points becomes the most likely scenario by June
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four and by the November twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four meeting, which is surprisingly or i should say non surprisingly,
Speaker 1: US election time, the FED funds target will be down
Speaker 1: to four point five to four point seventy five, so
Speaker 1: potentially three cuts happening. This is what the projections are.
Speaker 1: This is sort of what the market's pricing in and
Speaker 1: what the market's betting on. So while the Fed decided
Speaker 1: to hold steady, the markets are betting. The markets are
Speaker 1: predicting that they'll be cutting by next year. Now, while
Speaker 1: that sounds good, historically, it's not so historically when the
Speaker 1: FED starts to cut, unfortunately, then a crash comes. Now
Speaker 1: it's not causation, it's the difference of correlation versus causation.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's correlation not causation because it's actually lagging.
Speaker 1: So what happens is the FED has been tightening, tightening,
Speaker 1: tight tight, and it has a lag effect. It takes
Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen months to really see the effects of
Speaker 1: those tightenings come through. Now, once they felt like they've
Speaker 1: done enough, or in this case, they've probably done way
Speaker 1: too much, they decide to stop.
Speaker 2: Then things start.
Speaker 1: Getting really bad and they're like.
Speaker 2: Oh crap, we went way too high. We shouldn't have
Speaker 2: gone that high. Uh quick reverse reverse, reverse.
Speaker 1: And they do but the damage is already done because
Speaker 1: this isn't like a little car that you can zip around.
Speaker 1: It's more like an aircraft carrier. You need, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty miles to turn this thing. So by the time
Speaker 1: they see this sign is coming that they went too
Speaker 1: far and they reverse course again, it takes twelve to
Speaker 1: eighteen months, and so the damage is already done. So
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where we're at now. The markets
Speaker 1: are sort of in agreement with the Feds, you know,
Speaker 1: dot plots or basically what they're projecting as these interestrates
Speaker 1: to happen, which potentially this pause has been good. So
Speaker 1: are they going to pause and how long will they pause?
Speaker 1: And so it looks like this could potentially be good
Speaker 1: for some of the risk on assets specifically, like bitcoin
Speaker 1: is probably the most priced sensitive risk on asset, which
Speaker 1: is I mean, it's still sort of stuck in this range,
Speaker 1: but we can see, you know, it's in this twenty
Speaker 1: five twenty six thousand dollars range. But I think, you know,
Speaker 1: we're probably going to stay in this choppy market for
Speaker 1: a while until the Fed really kind of decides what's
Speaker 1: going to go on. And we're seeing that in the
Speaker 1: stock market right now. But we also, like I said,
Speaker 1: seen it with the ECB. So at what point do
Speaker 1: we have now all three central banks, the BOJ, the
Speaker 1: ECB and the FED all loosening, And my guess is
Speaker 1: probably next year. Now this is in light at the
Speaker 1: same time that the US national debt hit thirty three
Speaker 1: trillion for the first time in history, and the interest,
Speaker 1: just the interest on the national debt is almost a
Speaker 1: trillion dollars.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Just forty years ago the debt was only nine hundred billion.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it took from the date
Speaker 1: the government was founded, if you want to look at
Speaker 1: seventy seventy six, or if you look at like when
Speaker 1: the feders created ninety thirteen, all the way to nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty one for the government to get to one trillion
Speaker 1: in debt. So it took, however, many years, hundreds of
Speaker 1: years to get to one hundred, to get to one trillion.
Speaker 1: The government just added three trillion in the last three months. Crazy, right, Crazy.
Speaker 1: Tuning in to listen to the Mark Maus Show where
Speaker 1: it run in through some of the latest breaking news
Speaker 1: headlines this week so you can understand what is going
Speaker 1: on in the world and what comes next so you
Speaker 1: can plan and prepare to save yourself, to save your family,
Speaker 1: to save your friends, and have a better future. I
Speaker 1: got a lot more to cover when I come back,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to take a very quick break.
Speaker 2: Don't go away, I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark
Speaker 1: Mass Show breaking down some of the latest breaking news
Speaker 1: headlines this week. And uh, I got some big headlines
Speaker 1: this week that well, I've read through a couple of
Speaker 1: stories already that are are big and they're scary.
Speaker 2: And they mean some big things are happening.
Speaker 1: And this next story is it is really scary and
Speaker 1: it's very very telling of exactly where we are.
Speaker 2: And again, you can read the news.
Speaker 1: Headlines anywhere, but I want to tell you what they mean,
Speaker 1: and I want to bring to them. I want to
Speaker 1: bring the context. And what am I talking about here?
Speaker 1: You might have heard of Russell Brand and what's happening
Speaker 1: with him this week?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So Russell Brand, obviously you know a famous actor, musician.
Speaker 1: Now he's a commentator. He got to hit with some
Speaker 1: accusations this week of potential sexual misconduct a decade ago
Speaker 1: or more and he's come under massive attack. Now that
Speaker 1: might just seem like a story. You might think that
Speaker 1: he's being unfairly targeted because.
Speaker 2: Of his ideological views.
Speaker 1: But just how big and how deep does this go?
Speaker 1: And that's the part I want to bring context to
Speaker 1: you for now you have to realize what is.
Speaker 2: Going on here.
Speaker 1: First of all, So Russell Brand, like I said, famous actor, musician,
Speaker 1: whatever like look, I mean, he he was famous for
Speaker 1: being a drug addict, alcoholic and having all kinds of
Speaker 1: like wild sexual experiences. He was open about a vocal
Speaker 1: about it, I think, talked about it in books. I
Speaker 1: mean very very very open about it. So you would
Speaker 1: think that during that time and doing those things, you
Speaker 1: would have heard about, you know, potential sexual misconduct happening,
Speaker 1: Like at the time it was happening, you know, potentially
Speaker 1: he did some things that might be outside the normal thing. Right.
Speaker 1: We don't know. However, now today we see multiple women
Speaker 1: are accusing him of sexual assault, emotional abuse, going all
Speaker 1: back from two thousand and six to twenty thirteen. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know UK law. I think in the United
Speaker 1: States there's you know, statute of limitations, which I think
Speaker 1: that's way longer than that like typically like, hey, if
Speaker 1: this happened to me, I should probably go talk about
Speaker 1: it now, not from two thousand and six to now,
Speaker 1: what is that, you know what? A fifteen years later?
Speaker 1: But these accusations they come not from the individual people,
Speaker 1: but from a joint investigation by the Sunday Times and
Speaker 1: Channel four. Now Russell Brand, of course, obviously strongly denies this.
Speaker 1: He says, hey, look, I did some crazy sexual things.
Speaker 1: I talked about him at the time, but like, I
Speaker 1: never did this. That's that's the high level story. You
Speaker 1: can go read that anywhere, but here the important part
Speaker 1: what happened since then? So this is an allegation allegedly
Speaker 1: per some investigative reporter, allegedly he did these things. Now
Speaker 1: in the United States, and I believe in the UK
Speaker 1: as well, we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty,
Speaker 1: and that's proven.
Speaker 2: By beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 1: So in court that must be proven beyond a shadow
Speaker 1: of a doubt, and I'm innocent until that has happened. Well,
Speaker 1: we don't even have charges filed, there's not even there's
Speaker 1: not even an indictment. This is just an allegation that
Speaker 1: was made and all of a sudden, just like clockwork,
Speaker 1: YouTube demonetized brands channel. Now, Russell Brand has over six
Speaker 1: and a half million subscribers on YouTube and he makes
Speaker 1: content talking about issues that nobody wants you to talk about,
Speaker 1: so vaccines, the wars, the election, things like that, which
Speaker 1: are obviously topics they would like him to stop talking about.
Speaker 1: So it seems sort of weird that YouTube would just
Speaker 1: demonetize his entire channel. But's even weirder than that is
Speaker 1: why would they do that? So allegedly a news report
Speaker 1: shows that he had sexual misconduct fifteen years ago and
Speaker 1: then they shut off his ability to make money. Now,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just nicely lenocent and this is where you
Speaker 1: have to start paying attention. So YouTube did that, Well,
Speaker 1: why does YouTube have any to do with what's going
Speaker 1: on with an alleged thing with the Channel four news
Speaker 1: over in the UK. Shortly after that, the chair of Culture,
Speaker 1: Media and Sports Committee in the UK Parliament, So the
Speaker 1: UK Parliament sent letters to x, Twitter, the BBC, TikTok,
Speaker 1: gb News, Channel four and Rumble and in this letter
Speaker 1: they asked if Russell Brand was able to monetize his
Speaker 1: content on those platforms. They said, quote, let me read
Speaker 1: it to you. While we recognize that TikTok is not
Speaker 1: the creator of the content published by mister brand, and
Speaker 1: his content may be within the community guidelines set up
Speaker 1: by the platform, we're concerned that he may be able
Speaker 1: to profit from his content on the platform.
Speaker 2: So let's think about that.
Speaker 1: So we understand that you know, his content may be
Speaker 1: totally within your guidelines, but what we're concerned on is
Speaker 1: he may be able to profit. Huh So since when
Speaker 1: is being allegedly accused of a crime mean you can't work?
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: a innocent of profa guilty. But now if you're even alleged,
Speaker 1: not even indicted, not even charged, alleged to have done
Speaker 1: something wrong, you can't work anymore. You can't make money.
Speaker 2: So it works.
Speaker 1: Like what kind of world is now? Let me be clear,
Speaker 1: I have three sisters, I have two daughters. Like you know,
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct or assault is no laughing matter by any means.
Speaker 1: And these allegations, I mean, I guess they're serious, right,
Speaker 1: I mean if it was my daughter, my sister, I'd
Speaker 1: want them to do serious. And so these accusers should
Speaker 1: have every single legal right to an investigation, right, so
Speaker 1: I guess, I mean, I don't know about the statue limitations.
Speaker 1: I'm not an attorney in London, but maybe there's something there.
Speaker 1: But you know, normally this should be taken seriously and
Speaker 1: so there should be some sort of criminal proceedings. There
Speaker 1: should be an investigation, and there might be after the investigation,
Speaker 1: there might be some criminal proceedings if the evidence that's
Speaker 1: been found, you know, warrants that if it merits that.
Speaker 1: But again, Brand is innocent until proven guilty, and social
Speaker 1: media platforms and governments should have zero power to strip
Speaker 1: him of his ability to make money.
Speaker 2: Right, I would think so.
Speaker 1: I would think that democratic governments should not have the ability,
Speaker 1: should not have the power, should not want to try
Speaker 1: to step in front of that. I think it's completely
Speaker 1: inappropriate for representatives of that to use big tech to
Speaker 1: punish people for again alleged miscontact. I think doing so
Speaker 1: violates the fundamental process of due process. This is a
Speaker 1: legal principle that goes all the way back to thirteen
Speaker 1: fifty four in the Magna Carta established by British King
Speaker 1: Edward the third. But just because someone alleged it, they
Speaker 1: took it down. Now, on Twitter this week, MMA legend
Speaker 1: Jake Shields claimed with a funny tweet. I really liked it,
Speaker 1: he said. Former New zeal if I said, former New
Speaker 1: Zealand Prime Minister Yacinda hart Arden raped me seventeen years ago.
Speaker 1: YouTube should immediately censor all of her videos. Now, the
Speaker 1: irony there is Yasinda Hardin is the one that goes
Speaker 1: to the UN and demands that we take away free
Speaker 1: speech right. So hey, if we allege that she did this,
Speaker 1: Hey she rate me seventeen years ago, then should YouTube
Speaker 1: also censor her stuff?
Speaker 2: Do you think that would happen?
Speaker 1: Maybe we should try that. If you're listening, go ahead,
Speaker 1: file that report alleged. Let's see what happens. I highly
Speaker 1: doubt that's what will happen. But the problem, again, let
Speaker 1: me put this in context for you, isn't just Russell
Speaker 1: brand just the fact that he lost his demonetization is
Speaker 1: a big problem. But what the bigger problem is the
Speaker 1: direction in which we're going, the pattern that's being established here.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Justin Trudeau froze the bank accounts
Speaker 1: of the Freedom Convoy truckers. British banks recently shut down
Speaker 1: the banks of Brexit campaign and Nigel Farage again for
Speaker 1: his ideological views. Nothing legal that he did wrong, nothing financial,
Speaker 1: same as what Trudeau did to the convoy truckers. They
Speaker 1: didn't do anything illegal, it was the ideological views that
Speaker 1: they had.
Speaker 2: My friend I've had on.
Speaker 1: The show, doctor Joseph Marcola, had his bank accounts shut
Speaker 1: down for.
Speaker 2: The same reason.
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything wrong legally, didn't do anything wrong financially,
Speaker 1: but for ideological reasons. We see the White House in
Speaker 1: the United States Department of Homeland Security Center's Disease Control
Speaker 1: demanding even more online censorship of populist voices anyone that
Speaker 1: resists the narrative, such as you know, COVID measures.
Speaker 2: Things like that.
Speaker 1: But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Like I said,
Speaker 1: this is a this is the direction that's going. I
Speaker 1: got a lot more to cover in this story. You
Speaker 1: don't want to miss this because it gets even deeper.
Speaker 1: I'll be back with more in a minute. Don't go away,
Speaker 1: all right, welcome back. If you just tune in, you're
Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Moss Show, and we'll running through
Speaker 1: some of the latest breaking news stories of the week,
Speaker 1: and I'm breaking down the story of what happened with
Speaker 1: Russell Brand and the bigger story past that. Like I said,
Speaker 1: you can read these news headline on their own. You
Speaker 1: can go read the story from wherever you want to
Speaker 1: get your news from. But they're not going to give
Speaker 1: you the context of this. Let me just continue breaking
Speaker 1: this down. So this isn't just an isolated case, right,
Speaker 1: this is the pattern, This is the direction. As I said,
Speaker 1: this is doctor mccolla getting his bank count shut down,
Speaker 1: not for any financial or legal problem, just they don't
Speaker 1: like a ideological view. Nisol Farage had his bank count
Speaker 1: shut down over in Europe. Justin Trudeau shut down the
Speaker 1: bank counts of the Trucker protests. Right, So this is happening.
Speaker 1: Anybody that's talking outside their narrative, they're coming after now.
Speaker 1: At the same time, governments around the world, the central
Speaker 1: banks are moving to central bank digital currencies cbdc's and
Speaker 1: digital IDs, both of these things at the same time. Now,
Speaker 1: these two things together are potentially the final death nail
Speaker 1: in freedom as we know it. The marriage of these
Speaker 1: two the digital currency and the digital ID equals social
Speaker 1: credit scores, which are already used in China.
Speaker 2: They've been used for a long time.
Speaker 1: We've talked about that extensively, but they make it easy
Speaker 1: for big tech, big banks, and big government to basically
Speaker 1: go after anybody that they don't like. Doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you're convicted of a crime in China, doesn't matter, if
Speaker 1: you're convictive of a crime, if they're if you're social
Speaker 1: caredit core drops. You can't get a bus ticket, a
Speaker 1: train ticket, doesn't matter. So why is this happening? Well,
Speaker 1: the reason why is the managerial class, which you may
Speaker 1: consider the administrative state, bureaucratic state, the deep state, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it. The professional managerial class, elites
Speaker 1: in the government who are not elected. We can't vote
Speaker 1: them out. They have the power. They're using their authoritarian,
Speaker 1: extra judicial tactics to silence and punish anybody that they
Speaker 1: don't like. It's a war of the elites against the
Speaker 1: populace against the people. It's what I fram up all
Speaker 1: the time. It's we, the people versus the government.
Speaker 2: That's it. They the elites, they.
Speaker 1: The bureaucratic, the administrative state, the professional managerial class. They
Speaker 1: think that services like the Internet and banking and access
Speaker 1: to financial services, and like other public goods. They seem
Speaker 1: to think that it's not a right. They seem to
Speaker 1: think that they have the control of that, and they
Speaker 1: should be able to use that how they want. And
Speaker 1: they think that they should be able to use these
Speaker 1: co op these coherce these platforms to enforce their will.
Speaker 1: They want to weaponize the Internet to rein in any
Speaker 1: political dissent. At the end of the road that we're
Speaker 1: on is a government administered social credit score system, which
Speaker 1: is not funny, but ironically it's exactly what Brand is
Speaker 1: warning us about.
Speaker 2: All right, It's exactly the.
Speaker 1: Same thing under that type of an agreement, Under that
Speaker 1: type of a social credit core system, where you have
Speaker 1: the CBDC and the digital ad put together. Basically, the governments,
Speaker 1: this managerial class well have all the digital tools that
Speaker 1: they need to push people to conform to these norms.
Speaker 1: Anyone who would express an opinion that would offend this
Speaker 1: government would automatically find themselves not able to use these
Speaker 1: tools like the Internet, for example. The managerial class is
Speaker 1: so desperate to maintain power and control over the narrative
Speaker 1: because it's all lies. Look if it was good for you,
Speaker 1: if they if it was true, they wouldn't have to
Speaker 1: lie to you. They wouldn't have to coerce you. The
Speaker 1: very fact that they have to control this narrative shows
Speaker 1: you the true intentions. They want to control this, and
Speaker 1: they're not happy that the Internet has given us the
Speaker 1: power to have this information. Imagine, knowledge is power. We
Speaker 1: have all this knowledge at our fingertips.
Speaker 2: The power that we have, the people have the power.
Speaker 2: They don't want you to have the power.
Speaker 1: They want the power only for themselves. They want the
Speaker 1: Internet ripped from your hands. These political leaders, they want
Speaker 1: to reassert their dominance over the online conversation.
Speaker 2: We know this.
Speaker 1: It's been revealed. We saw on the Twitter files. We
Speaker 1: saw all the details there. We see it in the
Speaker 1: actions that they're having. We see it in the when
Speaker 1: they brought Matt Tayibe and Michael Schellenberger forward in front
Speaker 1: of congressional hearings and asked them to reveal their sources,
Speaker 1: they persecuted and send the IRUs to their house and
Speaker 1: all these things.
Speaker 2: We see this.
Speaker 1: We see again justin Trudeau, with his actions, he showed
Speaker 1: that a Western government, supposedly a free democratic government, was able,
Speaker 1: and not just able, but willing to basically do what
Speaker 1: Edward Snowden warned us about Edward Snoden had to leave
Speaker 1: the country because he warned the people this was coming,
Speaker 1: and here it is turn key tyranny. So so the
Speaker 1: governments have the ability to basically push a button and
Speaker 1: enforce compliance. They don't need to pass laws, they don't
Speaker 1: have to have courts. This doesn't have the laws. They're
Speaker 1: just doing it on their own. YouTube just took away
Speaker 1: Russell Brand's ability to make money with no precedents. He
Speaker 1: didn't break any laws, he didn't do anything, and they
Speaker 1: did them. Now Brand seems to be too big the censor,
Speaker 1: so they just take away his ability to make money.
Speaker 1: They can't stop him, but they can certainly give him
Speaker 1: financial punishment. Now again, if Russell Brand, you know, did this,
Speaker 1: then you know, let's hold him accountable. But there should
Speaker 1: be due process. YouTube rumble. The British government should not
Speaker 1: be able to go around the Biden administration should not
Speaker 1: be able to go around and prosecute their political rivals.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like what's happening in Donald Trump, sort
Speaker 1: of like what happened to Paxton, the attorney general in Texas.
Speaker 1: They're literally interfering with with with the president. You know,
Speaker 1: their main opposition, the political rival the president while at
Speaker 1: the same time interfering with the prosecution of his own son.
Speaker 2: Now, where does this go.
Speaker 1: Well. In the end, this crackdown is a cultural reaction
Speaker 1: from the professional managerial class, and it's the institutions that
Speaker 1: they control that's it.
Speaker 2: In their view, the professional elites.
Speaker 1: View the ordinary people, the working class people, as a
Speaker 1: completely different class of people. They see them as a threat. Again,
Speaker 1: you should not, you me, We the people should not
Speaker 1: have this powerful weapon of the internet in our hands.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Again, the combination of these two things make it very dangerous.
Speaker 1: So right now there's one hundred and thirty countries we're
Speaker 1: exploring CBDCs, ninety percent of the population. At the same time,
Speaker 1: the World Health Organization the WHO is adopting e USE
Speaker 1: Digital certification system for its Global Health Certificate. The g
Speaker 1: twenty agreed to put in a Global Health Certificate Use
Speaker 1: and Use USAID to promote digital ID systems. Okay, several
Speaker 1: US states, including California, Arizona, Louisiana, and Maryland are making
Speaker 1: plans for state digital IDs. This is not some French thing.
Speaker 1: This is what's happening with a combination. As I said,
Speaker 1: the unholy pairing of cbdc's and digital IDs governments will
Speaker 1: have all the power they need to sevelop every single
Speaker 1: transaction and literally have a button they could push to
Speaker 1: just clamp down on anybody they don't like.
Speaker 2: They don't like what you said, just like in China
Speaker 2: they don't like what you said.
Speaker 1: Hey Russell Bank, we don't like you said online. Hey Mark,
Speaker 1: they probably don't like what I'm saying right now, take
Speaker 1: away your ability to make money. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist
Speaker 1: Glenn Greenwald a left wing journalist. By the way, he said,
Speaker 1: since when do Western political officials have the power to
Speaker 1: impose extra legal punishment on people for alleged crimes they've
Speaker 1: never even been charged with? He said, What gives the
Speaker 1: US and UK officials the right to demand that tech
Speaker 1: companies remove or demonetize speakers? Now the same has to
Speaker 1: go for the banks. How can the banks just take
Speaker 1: people's bank accounts away like doctor Mrcola or Nigel Farage.
Speaker 1: They can just debank people now. Typically banks were not
Speaker 1: allowed to discriminate for racial, religious, sexual identities, but they
Speaker 1: can for ideological reasons.
Speaker 2: If this isn't a wake.
Speaker 1: Up call, I don't know what is the pairing of
Speaker 1: these two things, digital IDs and CBDCs. It's not a
Speaker 1: thing of myth. They're working on it.
Speaker 2: I just read it to you.
Speaker 1: The G twenty agreed on this, and if this comes
Speaker 1: into place.
Speaker 2: It's not going to look good. However, we have an answer.
Speaker 1: We have bitcoin, so we don't have to use CBDCs.
Speaker 1: We have bitcoin. If I didn't have bitcoin in this
Speaker 1: world today, if we didn't have it in this world,
Speaker 1: I would be very scared. But we have a tool
Speaker 1: to win. What we need is to wake each other up.
Speaker 1: As long as we can continue to spread this information
Speaker 1: and let people know, make them aware of what's going on.
Speaker 1: Then as they see this continue to roll in, they
Speaker 1: recognize it. We have the power and the tools that
Speaker 1: we need. What they can really do is take away
Speaker 1: our ability to transact in their financial system. But we
Speaker 1: don't have to use their financial system. We don't have
Speaker 1: to use the CBDCs they have because we have bitcoin
Speaker 1: and we will win. If you're just tuning in, you
Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Mash Show running through some of
Speaker 1: the latest breaking news headlines this week, that's what I
Speaker 1: got for this hour. Hopefully this makes sense and hopefully
Speaker 1: it charges you up to go do something about it.
Speaker 2: That's what I got.
