WEBVTT - They Stole Your Life, and You Didn’t Notice 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.720 Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Mark Mos Show, 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.880 where of course we talk about each and every week 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.160 the way the world is changing through what I call 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:08.479 the decentralized revolution. 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:09.520 Of course, we're talking about a. 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:14.120 World of centralization, central control, central planning into a decentralized world, 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:15.960 a multipolar world, if you want to call it. That 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.840 from like a geopolitical picture. And really the thing that 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.640 we like to look at is the intersection of politics, finance, 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.040 and technology. Of course, it's always technology that changes the world, 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.440 that changes the way we communicate, organize, and of course 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.120 today we are seeing this change of technology and that 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.839 is the decentralized technology of bitcoin that's changing every aspect 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.320 of the world. I want to have a big show today, 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.680 as always, I have a very ambitious schedule, see how 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:39.279 which I can get through. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.159 And I want to talk about how they stole your. 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.760 Life and you didn't even notice. Now what does that 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.360 even mean? Well, it means a lot of things. We're 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.440 going to talk about how your life has actually been stolen. 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.680 We're going to talk about your freedoms, how they've been stolen, 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.600 your freedom of expression, your property, you know, the freedom 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.400 of expression, the ability to trains, act and whole private property. 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.560 We're going to talk about legalization questions and so much more. 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.720 There's lots of covers we're going to get into this. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.720 If you miss any of this, don't worry. 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:10.200 I got you back. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.119 Just check me out on the podcast.

So we talk about stealing your life. I 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.520 know that sounds like a really big thing, and it is. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.000 And I want to go just philosophical with you for 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.960 a second and then we'll get a little bit more tactical. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.440 But you have to understand that the law of energy 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:52.200 states that energy can't be created, energy can only be transferred, 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.160 all right, So in order for you and I to 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.520 stay alive, we must consume calories. Calories are a unit 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.160 of energy, right, So I need food, which gives me energy. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.120 That energy allows me to think and work to do 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.399 more things. Now that energy that I got in those 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.440 calories wasn't created. It came from the from what I ate, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.800 Like the animal, the cow. I like to eat steak, 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.800 So that cow, I like to say that I'm a 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.120 you know, I'm not gonna say it, but the cow 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.200 eats grass, right, So I'm a plant based I'm on 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.840 a plant based diet. My cows eat plants. I eat 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.720 the cows. But you know, you have soil on the earth. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.040 The plant grows up. There's energy in that. The cow 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.560 eats that. There's proteins in the grass. The cow goes big. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.200 I eat the steak. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.680 I get the proteins from the steak the calories, and 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.800 then I have calories units of energy that I can 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.160 now think to talk to you about subjects like this, 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.680 or I can go work, build a fence, or dig 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.760 a hole, whatever that may be. Now, if you understand 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.680 that core premise that, then my life I need calories. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.560 I need energy to come into them in order to 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.000 stay alive. Now let's say that I have to dig 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.239 a hole for four hours a day to earn enough 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.240 for me to live those four hours that I work 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.000 provides me with enough food and supplies where I can 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.240 get shelter for the day. But let's say that I 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.840 decide to work an extra four hours that day, so 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.040 I work eight hours. Well, those extra four hours I 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.200 don't need that today. I don't need that food. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.359 So what do I do. Well? 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:24.840 I can store that wealth in money, and then tomorrow 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.200 I could choose not to work or expend energy, and 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.639 I could then use that money to then provide me 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.960 sustenance for that day, So that money becomes like a 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.760 battery for me. It's like a life battery, just like 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.760 fat on your body as a life battery. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.760 Let's say if you had. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.960 Like a real rare form of like diabetes, where you 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.960 couldn't keep fat on, but then you have to be 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:48.119 eating constantly to keep calories coming in, otherwise you die. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.560 But we store fat on our bodies which allows us 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.520 to live for weeks or over a month without eating 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.640 because we can tap into that. That fat on your 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.360 body is like a battery for your life. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.960 If you don't eat, you can continue to run. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.400 But again, if I have money, that money is also 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:08.040 an extension of my life. I expended energy and now 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.760 that what I buy with that, that extra food or 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.360 whatever is like a battery for me. Let's say that 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.320 I save up enough and I buy a goat. Well, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.039 now that goat is like a battery. If I don't 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.400 work for a few weeks, I could kill the goat. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.000 I could eat it. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.880 So's it's like an extension. You know, I buy a 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.400 piece of land, I start growing crops, I have a garden. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:29.920 A field, whatever. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.279 That's a battery for me and I can live off 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.880 of that, and so all of that becomes an extension 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.840 of my life. And the reason why I want to 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.440 break it down to the philosophical level is because what 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:43.800 we're talking about today where they're stealing your life, and 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.920 I don't mean like you know, putting you in prison, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.680 but literally as they steal your property or your ability 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.720 to earn property, or literally steal the value from what 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.720 you've created, that's literally still in your life. So I'm 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:57.920 going to break that down for you. So let's talk 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.440 about this. So you know, if we start again staying 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.760 high sort of high level on this sort of philosophical level, 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.320 if we think about it from a multiple levels, we 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.440 can think about it just as my life as a 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.000 human being. One thing that separates human beings from animals 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.599 is that we can communicate, we can speak, we can think, 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.920 we can ide eight, we can speak, and so that 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.080 is something that's super important. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:22.320 It's unique to us as humans. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.560 That's a characteristic of it, and it's our life to 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.479 be able to do that. If they want to restrict 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.040 your ability to speak or your ability to express yourself, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.880 then they're stealing that from you. I know that's a 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.480 little bit philosophical, but that's the way it Lerk works. Now. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.600 We know, you know, we have famous quotes from our 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.920 founding fathers. These guys were so smart. The Founding fathers 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.240 were so smart for a number of reasons, and I 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.640 think we probably won't ever have people as smart as 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.360 them because we have TikTok now. But you know, they 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.279 sat around and just read books and they studied history. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.640 They read the books and they discuss these ideas. One 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.520 of my favorite authors f A. Hayek. It's a Nobel 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.640 Prize winner in economics. He wrote a bunch of great books, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.320 one of which is a highly highly highly recommend everybody 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.360 put on your list, which is the road to serf him. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.640 If you haven't read that book, don't pass. Go open 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.960 up Amazon on your app and buy that book right now. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.400 Road to serf him his seminal book, which is called 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.200 The Constitution of Liberty. And in that book it had 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:30.440 I believe, nineteen hundred citations in nine different languages. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.520 Like whoa, nineteen hundred citations. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.320 It's amazing, Like nobody's ever going to be that smart again, 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.479 because now we're distracted by all these things. Anyway, final 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.880 fathers are very smart, and they gave us a lot 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.159 of warnings. And if you read these warnings you can 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.000 see how relative they are for today. So for example, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.120 Benjamin Franklin, it's attributed to him or Jefferson, We're not 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.640 quite sure, but he says, those who give up essential 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.840 liberty in exchange for a little bit of temporary safety 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.159 deserve neither deserve neither liberty or safety. And we see 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.360 that all all the time, Right, everybody is giving up liberty. Fine, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.040 I'll accept the lockdown. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.520 If you keep me safe. Right, we see that all 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:12.880 the time. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.640 So we've been given all types of warnings like that, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:18.800 But what does that mean? 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.320 Like what is freedom? Well, you can define it different ways. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.120 I've asked a lot of people these questions and I 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.320 get a lot of different answers to me. I would 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.440 like to go back to Fai x book The Constitution 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.640 of Liberty, and I think about liberty because freedom is 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.960 typically free from something. So I like to think about liberty, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.160 which could be kind of interchangeable. But I think about 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.880 freedom being the freedom from coercion. And coercion is when 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.080 somebody forces me to take one of their options. So 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.080 you believe you have the option to choose, but the 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.400 reality is either choice that you make leads to their end. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.880 So, for example, take the job or lose your job. Well, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:00.720 I have a choice. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.760 I can lose my job or take the jab. But 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.560 either way, either one of those options that I am 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.520 choosing now lead to your ends. See, I want to 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.840 be freedom. I want to be free to choose the 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.720 option that leads to my own ends, free from coercion. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.280 So that's how we define that. Now, when you understand 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.520 how freedom works, ability to be free from coercion, freedom 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.800 isn't anything. Freedom isn't I can't just go slap you 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.000 in the face, and I can't harm another person. I 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.280 should just be free from coercion so I could direct 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.640 my life as I see fit. So I can choose 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.360 what I want to do, and really, at the end 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.680 of the day, it's always your choices. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.199 That's why you see. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.839 Twins born in the same family, the same neighborhood, same economics, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.560 same school, same friends, same parents, same gene, same everything, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.160 end up in two different places because along the way 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.040 they made different choices. Now it's pretty interesting today they 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.120 want to talk about how we all need to be equal, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.280 not equal as opportunity, but equal on outcome. How can 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.400 we be equal on outcome if we can have different choices, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.880 And there you have it. If we can just limit 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.319 everyone's choices, then maybe. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.440 We can get everybody to an equal outcome. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:13.920 If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.960 Ma Show, we're talking about the decentralized Revolution. We're talking 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.280 about how they stole your life. Start from a philosophical level, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.120 we're going to take it down into something more, much 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.600 more tactical, so you can understand how this is impacting 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.480 your life and of course, what we can do about it. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.120 I got to take a quick break though, we're gone 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:31.400 just for a second. Don't go away. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.880 I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back. If you're 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.720 just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Mas Show 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.480 and we are talking about how they stole your life. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.959 And again we tarted from a very philosophical level. We're 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.880 diving down. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.199 In deep to practical applications. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.560 You can understand we're talking about we start talking about 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.959 taking away your freedom, which is part of your human 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.520 ability to express express yourself. Now, the one thing I 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.880 want to draw back to is that we have the 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.240 ability uniquely as humans to communicate. And so if you 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.280 pass laws that prevent me from communicating, that's taking away 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.040 part of my life. Now I can't think properly, or 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.760 I can't speak properly, I can't express myself properly. I'd 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.800 like to add that, you know, Benjamin Franklin said that 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.920 the freedom of speech, freedom of communication, freedom of speech 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.280 is the foundation upon all other freedoms are built. I 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.960 would actually say that I believe that the freedom to 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.120 transact is the foundation of all others. Now, you could 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.320 say that communication is a transaction, right, we're communicating value 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.440 to each other. But I would say, specifically, the freedom 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.240 to transact is the foundation of all others. So, for example, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:39.600 the First Amendment in the Constitution guarantees us the freedom 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:45.560 of speech guarantees. Is that, however, if I don't have 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.360 money to buy a phone to go on social media, 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.600 or a computer to go on social media, or to 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.360 print flyers, or to build a website or write a blog, 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.599 do I really have the ability to speak? We're guaranteed 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.280 the freedom of assembly, But if I can't pay to 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.199 put gas in my truck to drive to the assembly, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.600 or I can't pay for food when I get there, 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.640 I can't pay to get a hotel room, then do 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.280 I really have the freedom to assemble? Right? And so 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.160 without the freedom to transact, all of that falls apart. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.160 You know, we've seen this been infringed in the number 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.439 of ways, and these things do get messy, and freedom 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.240 is messy, you know where we see cases like so 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.600 for example, where the Supreme Court ruled about this Colorado 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.640 case where they didn't want to bake a cake. They 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.200 don't want to make a cake for a certain group 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.720 of people. Now you could look at that and say 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.400 that they were the company that refused to bake the 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.319 cake was infringing on the other people's rights to receive 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.240 a cake. But the problem is, in my opinion, and 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.400 I believe this to be a priori truth, not just 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.880 an opinion, but you can decide for yourself. Is that 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.840 we have in a label of rights that have been 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.080 given to us by our creator. The Constitution has protected 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.960 those rights, but those rights can't infringe on your rights. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.080 So I have a right to pursue my life as 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.400 I see fit, as I told you, free from coercion. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.160 But I don't have a right to health care. I 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:10.240 have a right to free. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.880 Speech, that's my right. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.199 I don't have a right to healthcare. And the reason 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.920 why I don't have a right to healthcare is because 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.520 that means a doctor has to provide that to me. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.320 But how can I have a right to your labor? 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.400 I can't. I can't have a right. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.320 And so in this case, for example, if they said 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.160 that this cake shop must make a cake for this couple, 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.800 how can this couple have a right to those people's labor. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.800 If someone has a right to my labor, if I 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.560 have to somehow the court forces me to work for free, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.920 to provide health care or to make a cake or 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.680 whatever for you, then I'm a slave. Now my freedoms 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.000 have now been taken away. And so that's where the 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.920 line is drawn in my opinion. Now you could argue that, well, 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.600 you have to make the cake because those people have 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:01.640 a right to receive a cake. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.320 Well they don't. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.920 You can't have a right to receive a cake because 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.320 that requires someone else's labor. Now you should have the 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.680 right to bake a cake if you see fit, certainly, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.240 but you can't have a right to have someone else 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.720 make a cake for you. But I'd love to hear 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.240 what your thought on that. Feel free hit me up 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.480 on social media at one Mark Moss let me know 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.360 what you think. I'd love to get some feedback from 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.280 you on that. We can see numerous examples of this 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.960 freedom of expression. So, for example, we've seen schools like 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.680 in New Jersey ban the use of religious clothing and 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.440 things like that. They've banned, you know, wearing Maga hats 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:42.080 for example. They've banned you know, American flags in some cases. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.040 So where do those rights infringe on other people's You know, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.840 I would argue that hanging a flag doesn't necessarily infringe 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.360 on my right. You might hang something that I don't 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.320 agree with. As a matter of fact, to one of 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.679 my properties I own in Texas, the neighbors hang some 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.439 flags that I don't agree with. Out there but that's 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.760 their right to hang them. It's also my right to 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.080 not to look at them if I don't want to. 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.160 But then you know, in you know, let's say gated 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.880 neighborhoods like homewords associations, for example, they could of course 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.200 pass rules of the Homewaners Association that. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.400 You're not allowed to hang flags. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.120 But that's not infringing to my right because I could 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.200 leave that neighborhood. I used to live in a gated 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.000 neighborhood and they did things that I felt I didn't 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.600 agree with, and so I left and I moved to 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.880 a neighborhood without an association, and now I can do 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.760 those things. Other examples of this, you know, freedom of 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.240 speech that we see or freedom of expression that we 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.520 see all the time. We could see many examples. So 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.680 for example, Jason al Dean recently, he's been sort of well, 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.280 depends on which side of the al you're on. He's 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.600 either been demonized or he's been celebrated for making a 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.680 song talking about like try that in a small town. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.280 And you know, he talks about this song like you 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.320 wouldn't be able to get away with these types of 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.760 things in a small town. And he was basically saying, 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.160 what's been going on in the big cities. You couldn't 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.720 do that in a small town because the small town 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.560 has culture and has a community, and people have duties 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.840 and responsibilities to that community, and they value that community, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.280 and they wouldn't allow you to get away. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.480 With those types of things that you see in these 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:09.120 big cities. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:14.360 Somehow that became a big problem, and now cancel culture 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.760 has come out in full force to try to cancel 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.320 him for that song. Now, never mind all these other 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.840 songs you hear about, you know, killing people and robbing 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.760 people and selling drugs to people. Never Mind all those songs. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.280 Those are all okay. But if you talk about community 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.920 and sense of duty and responsibility, that's the problem. So 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.040 he got canceled for that. But that takes away his 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.600 freedom of expression, but also it takes away my ability. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:38.760 To hear. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.360 Interesting. So these are things, you know. Of course, we 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.920 see this happening through the Twitter files. It's been exposed 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.920 pretty well now that Elon must bought that and kind 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.240 of exposed it. They don't want you to see that 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.320 that they're doing that, and so they've been now trying to. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.400 Get that hit in. They've deleted some records. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.840 A judge basically said the Biden administration can no longer 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.880 reach out and use Twitter coerce Twitter to change that. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.120 And of course the Bide administration doesn't like that, and 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.600 so they've even filed an appeal. Wait a minute, court 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.320 would a minute, No, no, no, you can't take away right. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.240 You have to allow us to do that. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.920 And so again they want to continue to take away 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.680 that right. Now, what about your property? As I kind 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.640 of set up before the commercial break, I was talking 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.880 about how really all property comes from our labor, which 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:29.440 is my life, meaning I have to expend my life force, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.480 my life energy and the time. Time is the most 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.320 scarce ass that we have. I have to expend those 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:39.600 two resources my life in order to gain property. John 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.040 Locke he says that the right to property is the 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.640 most sacred of all rights of man, the right to 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.800 own property. Man owns property. That's the way it works 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.480 in the Bible. In the Ten Commandments, the eighth commandment 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:58.680 is that thou shalt not steal. Well, by saying thou 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.320 shalt not steal, that means that I can't steal, which 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.760 means I can't take away someone else's property, which means 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.560 that those property rights are given in the Bible. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:07.919 By that. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.760 Now, it's interesting to look at the opposite of this, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.360 where Karl Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto to summarize 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:20.840 communism in one statement, is the abolition. 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.640 Of private property. It's the exact opposite. 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.399 So you got thinkers like John Locke, you got the 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.520 Bible talking about having strong property rights and the problems 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.400 that break down in society when people steal that property 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.560 from you. And then of course you have Karl Marx 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.880 and communism over here saying no, it's all about abolishing 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:39.920 private property. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:40.919 Let's get rid of that. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.399 Now. We can talk about that from a many different 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.800 reasons of why that is a bad thing in my mind. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.399 We'll come back to that in a little bit. But 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:48.840 if you're just tune in you're listening to the Mark 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.199 Maus show, we're talking about how they are still in 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.080 your life. Things in your life, like your freedoms, things 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.680 like freedom of expression, things like your property, which is 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.320 I said, is an extension of your life. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:03.600 And it gets worse. Don't worry. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.520 We're gonna get into the tactics here coming up next, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.280 and of course, things that you could do to protect 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.800 yourself against that, So don't go away, because I'm going 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.600 to be right back. All right, welcome back if you're 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.239 just tuning any listening to the Mark Maus Show. We're 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.320 talking about how they are still in your life, which 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.200 sounds like a big title and it is. We started 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.359 from the philosophical level of how your private property is 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:23.920 your life now that it's. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.280 Being taken from you in a number of ways. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.040 Of course, we talked about like sort of like the 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:33.840 most direct way, which is you know, taking your private property. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.600 And we see that, you know, we actually really saw 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.719 that happen throughout the pandemic when we start having massive 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.600 protests all over the world, or really all over the world, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.159 but yes in the United States. And what you saw 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.719 which was very disturbing to me, was that when anybody 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.560 would try to defend their private property, they became like 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.800 a target. So you saw a couple examples of this. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.760 So for example, you'd see people mobbing down the street, 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.399 and if a shopkeeper was out there trying to like 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.640 stand there so their windows wouldn't get broken, then they 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:07.600 became the target. We saw this in Missouri. A couple, 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.800
