1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Mark 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Moss Show. We're always talking about the decentralized revolution. We're 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: talking about deglobalization. We're talking about how the world is 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: changing through politics, finance, and technology. 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: We talk about all three because if. 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: You don't understand how they all work together, you don't 7 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: have context of the world. I don't like to talk 8 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: about politics for politics sake, but you have to understand 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: all three together. 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: And I think there's something. 11 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: That really, really, really big happened this last week that 12 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: most people maybe don't quite understand what's going on. 13 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: Now. 14 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: I talk about this from a political standpoint, not from 15 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: a right. 16 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: Or left, or red or blue, a liberal Democrat. I 17 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: talk about it more. 18 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: My viewpoint is more we the people versus the government. 19 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: Supposedly the United States, is they representative government, representive democracy 20 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. They say it's 21 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: a democracy technically or not. But even a democracy would 22 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: be what the people want, what the majority want, and 23 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: what the majority wants today is not having thirty three 24 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt. The majority wants today is not 25 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: approving hundreds of millions of dollars to go to middle 26 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: Eastern countries for gender studies. 27 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: The majority people. 28 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Want today is not hundreds of millions or billions of 29 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: dollars going to drop bombs on people in lands far away. 30 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: What the American people want is restraint. So this is 31 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: not a political divided issues should not be a bipartisan issue. Again, 32 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: this is if it's democracy, if it's a republic, it's 33 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: what do the people want, And it's very clear what 34 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: the people want, and the people do not want the 35 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: government to continue spending their future, their kids' futures away. 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: And so unfortunately, as I said, I don't view this 37 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: as a left right issue because unfortunately I look at 38 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: politics more as a uniparty. Look, you have the Republicans 39 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: grand standing, trying to hold Democrats accountable. The Democrats want 40 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: to spend one trillion. The Republicans want to spend nine 41 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: hundred billion. I mean, look, they both want to spend more. 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump spend more than any president history, and a 43 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: WAMA spent more than any president in history before him, 44 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: and every president has spent more than last president. I 45 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: do believe that there are a few good people there. 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: I do believe it. 47 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of good intending people that 48 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: probably have wrong intentions. There's also a lot of people 49 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: that probably go in with good intentions and quickly find 50 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: out that they're neuter and they can't do those things. 51 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: But what we saw happen in the Republican Party this 52 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: week might maybe change things potentially, maybe just slowed things 53 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: down a little bit. What am I talking about. I'm 54 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: talking about the Speaker of the House, McCarthy was ousted 55 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: by his own party. So the Republican Party led a 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: coup to get the Republican Speaker of the House kicked out. 57 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: And it's the first time I believe it's the first 58 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: time it's ever happened, at least since like the eighteen hundreds, 59 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: and so it's a. 60 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: Pretty big deal. 61 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: But I don't want to dig into the politics of 62 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: what happened and who voted in all those things. But 63 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: I want to dig into what I believe is the 64 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: core reason why and why I think it's important and 65 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: why I think it can change things. 66 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: Hopefully. 67 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I don't believe that we can vote our way out 68 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: of this, so I don't hang all my hope into 69 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: the political system. But it is something to be aware of, 70 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: because if you want to understand and how to position 71 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: your investments. If you want to understand what's going to 72 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: happen with your stocks, your equities, your retirement, your goal, 73 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: your real estate, your bitcoin, if you. 74 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: Want to know what happens with those things. 75 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: And then you have to understand what's happening with the economy, 76 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and you have to understand what the FED would do 77 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: because of the economy. And then you have to understand 78 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: what the politicians are doing. 79 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: To understand all of that. 80 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So, as I talk about quite often, we can 81 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: see that inflation has really been driven by the FED spending. 82 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: They have no restraint, as I'm talking about. So if 83 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: we bring some restraint, does that slow down spending we 84 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: bring if we slow down spending, does that slow down inflation? 85 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: For slowed to inflation? What does that do to our assets? 86 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: And so it's important to understand it from that level. 87 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: And again, and it's sort of just fascinating. But the 88 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: piece that I want to dig into again you can 89 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: go get your news anywhere. I want to tell you 90 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: what it means. And so what I think is happening 91 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: here and I don't say this is just opinionated, this 92 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: is what they're saying. But Matt Gates led this sort 93 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: of charge to get McCarthy out, and really because McCarthy 94 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: originally couldn't get the votes to even take the seat 95 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: in the first place, and they continue to delay, delay, delay, 96 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: They weren't going to give them the seat. They working 97 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: have a seat, and finally they had to make an 98 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: agreement if he was given the seat, that he would 99 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: do certain things. And he continues to cave to the 100 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: Democrats over and over and over, making it look like 101 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: it's a union party, Like what is he even doing. 102 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: The way that the government is supposed to be set 103 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: up is it's supposed to provide checks and balances. Now, 104 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: that could be a good and bad thing. It prevents 105 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: a lot of progress from happening, but it's supposed to 106 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: it's supposed to have checks and balances, and so he 107 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: just McCarthy just continued to cave and cave and cave 108 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: and cave and Kevin and everything, and there was no 109 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: checks and balance. And Matt Gates said, look, you are 110 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: not upholding your agreement. And then McCarthy said, fine, then 111 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: move file emotion to get me out, and so Gates 112 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: did and he got him out. But here's the story 113 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: that I'm picking up on that I think is important. 114 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety six, something fundamentally changed in the government, 115 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: and what do I talk about that? So the Senate 116 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: controls the purse, the Senate controls how much the government 117 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: can spend, and so every year they have budget meetings. Well, 118 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: they're supposed to have budgets, and all these different divisions 119 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: have different spending bills, different budgets, and each one is 120 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: supposed to be looked at individually based off of the 121 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: merits of that bill, and either approved or denied. 122 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: That's what we learn in SIVIX class. That's how the 123 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: government works. 124 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: You have committees and they vote to what gets included 125 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: in those But something changed in nineteen ninety six. Now 126 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: you don't have to go back that far to understand this. 127 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: You probably know by now. Every year in October it's 128 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: the same story. We have the budget, the budget doesn't 129 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: get a passed. If we don't approve the budget, then 130 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: the government runs. 131 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Out of money. 132 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: So then we pass a continuing resolution a CR which 133 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: continues to fund the government for up to forty five days, 134 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: and then around December, around Christmas, all of a sudden, hey, 135 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: if we don't pass this budget, everything shuts down and 136 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: at the last minute they put forward what's called an 137 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: omnibus bill. An omnibus bill. I forget last year, Ran Paul. 138 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: I think it was brought it like printed out, like 139 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: in a wagon up before Congress, and I talked about 140 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: it extensively on my show. I talked about everywhere and 141 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: just the insanity of bringing it was like forty one 142 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: hundred pages for one point seven trillion dollars was brought 143 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: forward a couple of days before Christmas. The average person 144 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: can read about thirty pages an hour. So if you 145 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: take forty one hundred divided by thirty, that's one hundred 146 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: and thirty six hours. Say you read for four hours 147 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: a day, that's going to take you thirty four days. 148 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Divided by four or five days a week, it's a 149 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: couple of months to read through this. Now that's just 150 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to read it, But what about to understand it? What 151 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: about to do your research on it? What about to 152 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: discuss it? So this takes months to even get through, 153 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: not even to debate. But yet here they do within 154 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: a couple of days going into the Christmas break a 155 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: gun to your head. 156 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: You have to approve it. 157 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: Now they do this specifically because they want to put 158 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: in a whole bunch of what they call pork, just 159 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of crap that nobody would approve. If the 160 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: American people or our representatives in the government saw that, hey, 161 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: we want to send three hundred million dollars to Iran 162 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: for gender studies, or hey, we want to spend billion 163 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: dollars to bomb Yemen, if they saw that, they would say, heck, no, 164 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: not when we have thirty three trillion dollars in debt. No. 165 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: But they don't do that. They put it all together. 166 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: And what Matt Gates is saying, he wants to do it, 167 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: and I believe him. He wants to end that process 168 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: has been done that way since nineteen ninety six. They 169 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: want to end the omnibus bill package and instead now 170 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: they want Congress to bring each of the twelve annual 171 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: spending bills to the floor via the process that is 172 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: supposed to have one by one by one, So now 173 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: the representatives can look at each each one and improve 174 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: and deny each one. The American people can see each 175 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: one together. And so what McCarthy was doing was doing 176 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: these tenuine resolutions, these crs that would push us through 177 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: the brink, just like we see every single year, and 178 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: Matt Kay said no, no, And so I'm. 179 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: A little hopeful. 180 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little hopeful that this could dramatically change the government. 181 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: I think it could dramatically change the amount of spending 182 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: that we have. Now. 183 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: Look, I'm not saying we're going to pay off the debt. 184 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're going to get back into but 185 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: a balanced budget. But it's a step in the right direction. 186 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: And I think I'm hopeful that it gives the American 187 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: people maybe a little bit of hope, and maybe that 188 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: energizes them to get a little bit more involved, and 189 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: maybe that shows them that maybe we can start to 190 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: trig size. Maybe it shows some of these leaders that like, 191 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: this is what the people want, and if you want 192 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: to get re elected, you should probably actually get behind 193 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: what the people want and not continue to ram things 194 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: down their throat that they don't want, continue to not 195 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: serve your clients. Now, we have a couple new Speakers 196 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: of the House that have been kind of thrown out. 197 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: One of them Donald Trump. Potentially Donald Trump could be 198 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House. 199 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: He said he would do it. It's kind of interesting. Rep. 200 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: Jim Jordan, probably one of my favorites in Congress. 201 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he is one that really really fights for 202 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: the American people, and so maybe things can change. It's 203 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: pretty interesting if this happens again. You're not voting away 204 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: out of this. You still need to focus on yourself. 205 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: You still need to focus on your own money. But 206 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: you have to understand how these bills pass. You can 207 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: understand the money flows, and this is a big piece 208 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: of it. If you just tune in, you're listening to 209 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: the Mark Mass Show. We always talking about the decentralized revolution. 210 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: Now we talk about it from a global level, but 211 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: here we see local politics starting to decentralize. I got 212 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: to take a very quick break, but I'm going to 213 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: be back in a minute. Don't go away, I'll be 214 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: here back all right, Welcome back. If you're just tune in, 215 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Mark Mass Show, we're always talking 216 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution. Of course, looking at politics, finance, 217 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: and technology, and that technology that's really changing the world, 218 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: the decentralized technology of bitcoin. And it's pretty interesting. You know, 219 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: when we look at politics and finance and technology, how 220 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,119 Speaker 1: they all merge together, and specifically even with bitcoin. 221 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: We saw this last week. 222 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: I was talking about in the earlier segment how in 223 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: the House, the Republican led House, they kicked out the 224 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House McCarthy, and now we have an 225 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: interim House Speaker, and that is Patrick McHenry. Now what's 226 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: interesting about Patrick McHenry is that he's the bitcoiner. And 227 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: we know this because we remember from many many years 228 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: ago him testifying in the committees and saying, look that 229 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: bitcoin is different. Bitcoin is decentralized. You can't stop bitcoin. 230 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: Bitcoin is different than other cryptocurrencies. Like he gets it now. 231 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: This is things that unless you're deep in the weeds 232 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: on bitcoin, you don't understand. Most crypto people don't understand this, 233 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: but McHenry does. And so it's pretty interesting. 234 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: That now, at this time when we sort of have. 235 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: This antagonistic view against technology between Gary Gensler at the 236 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: SEC obviously Elizabeth Warren and people like that leading the 237 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: charge really trying to crack down on bitcoin and crypto 238 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: and just technology technology in general, we have this new 239 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: interim House speaker who's he's pro bitcoin, he's a bitcointerer, 240 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: and so I think this is a maybe shift that 241 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: we're starting to see. At the same time as I've 242 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: been reporting over the last several weeks. We have Gary 243 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: Gensler and the SEC coming under massive fire, under massive 244 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: attacks from many sides. We have letters going around being 245 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: circulated getting segnatures for his resignation. I talked about, I 246 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: think a week or two ago, how there's actually a 247 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: bill being put forward to actually change the way that 248 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the SEC is even made up, where there will no 249 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: longer be Gary Ginzo, will no longer be ahead of 250 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: the SEC. Instead there would be just equal people on 251 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: the SEC, made up of both Republicans and Democrats to 252 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: make it more even. And so we can see that 253 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: the SEC is under a massive fire. We can see 254 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: that they've been sort of getting there, should I say, 255 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: butts kicked a little bit going to court, both in 256 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: the both in the ex case for example, they filed 257 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: an appeal on that and lost. 258 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: That That just happened this week. But we also saw 259 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: well in. 260 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: That case, we saw that the SEC brought this action 261 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: forward and the judge said that, well, it's sort of 262 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: a security sort of not I don't want to get 263 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: into the weeds on that. 264 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: We've talked about that before. 265 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: The important part is that the SEC didn't like that answer. 266 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: And so they appealed it, and now the judge denied 267 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: their appeal. So we see the SEC as sort of 268 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: getting their butts handed to them over and over and 269 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: over again. 270 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: We saw. 271 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: We're also seeing it on the ETF side. So the 272 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: SEC continues to deny a spot ETF from going through 273 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: for really no good reason in my opinion, and continues 274 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to deny all the applications. And now a federal judge 275 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: actually said the same thing. And so now members of Congress, 276 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: I think now four members of Congress have signed the 277 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: letter to the SEC saying you need to approve the 278 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: spot ETF. And so we can see that this is 279 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: starting to change. It's starting to change the makeup of 280 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: obviously from the people. It's sort of like this, as 281 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: I say, this decentralized revolution, where the people get. 282 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: It, it works its way up. 283 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: Into the government to the point now where we have 284 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: lawmakers like Cynthia Loomis that are bitcoiners. Tom Emmer, he's 285 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: done really well, which actually his name is being thrown 286 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: around for the Speaker of. 287 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: The House as well. 288 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: We have the interim Speaker of the House, Patrick McHenry, 289 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: who's a bitcoiner. This is a big deal that's a 290 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: very big deal. Now, this isn't tradable information. It doesn't 291 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: mean the price goes up on bitcoin today or tomorrow. 292 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: But it's the directionality we're always trying to pick up. 293 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: You know, one of the big objections I always hear 294 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: from non bitcoiners is what if the government just makes 295 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: it illegal? Well, first of all, even if they make 296 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: it illegal, what does that even mean. I mean, drugs 297 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: are illegal, and yet they just continue to get bigger 298 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger and more profitable every year. Not 299 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: to compare a bitcoin to drugs, but making something illegal 300 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: doesn't just make it go away. But when you have 301 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: high ranking politicians, high ranking members of the government that 302 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: are bitcoinners, that are hard bitcowners, that are knowledgeable bitcowners, 303 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: like Patrick McHenry in the House right now, or Tom 304 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: Emmer who could potentially be the Speaker of the House 305 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: next who continues to pass bills against CBDCs that are 306 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: pro bitcoin. When you continue to see other lawmakers like 307 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: Cynthia Loomis, you can see there's a changing of the guard. 308 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: You can see they're going after Garnery Ginsler. They're trying 309 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: to change the direction that the government's going now of course, 310 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: this doesn't mean it just changes overnight. We can see 311 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: that there's lots of other actions happening. At the same time, 312 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: we have the battle over Binance is still raging on 313 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: that continues to go on. We have SBF Sam Bankman 314 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: freed from FTX, finally going on trial, arguably the largest 315 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: fraud case and history. 316 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: And what's interesting is. 317 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Anybody who had their money caught up in FDx, I mean, 318 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: you probably want to see him haying. I didn't have 319 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: any money in FTX, but I still would like to 320 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: see him pay. But it's been interesting to see what 321 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: might happen. Because he was such a big political donor, 322 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation that maybe those political donations 323 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: might protect him. It was interesting to see this week 324 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: that the court case finally started. And at the same 325 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: time as the court case started, a book came out 326 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: by Michael Lewis, who's written many good books. You might 327 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: recognize the book of The Big Short, which became a movie, 328 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: The Big Short. He wrote Moneyball, some other good books 329 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: that became movies as well. 330 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: And I'm a fan. 331 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I've liked the books, I've liked the movies, and I 332 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: think he's done a very good job in reporting and 333 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: digging out the facts, or maybe it's because I didn't 334 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: understand the facts for in the first place. I'm having 335 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: to start to reconsider this because in this new book 336 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: that he's putting out, he's painting Sam Bankman Freed in 337 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: a completely different light than what it looks like happened. 338 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: So now it's making me think, Oh, did he really 339 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: do his research? Did he really have an agenda? Maybe 340 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: in these other stories as well. Some of the things 341 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: that he's talking about was that he claims that Sam 342 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: Bankman Freed said that he would he could have paid 343 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: off Trump five billion dollars not to run. He said 344 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: that Sam Bankman Freed was planning to give fifteen to 345 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars to Republican Senator Mitch McConnell to defeat 346 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: the Trumpier candidates in the Senate races. 347 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: That one, maybe I could believe. 348 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: We know that Sam Bankman Freed was the second largest 349 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: donor behind George Soros. Not a good name to be 350 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: put up there with. I would probably say Mitch McConnell 351 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: is certainly a rhino, He's probably he's part of the uniparty. Sure, 352 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: he's a Republican he's probably more of a Democrat than 353 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: a Republican. So maybe that's true, maybe it's not, But 354 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: somehow you have to kind of put everything in question 355 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: when you see this report. 356 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: But the trial did begin. 357 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: He's facing Sam mcmcfreed is facing seven counts of fraud, conspiracy, 358 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: money laundering on his alleged use of FTX customer funds 359 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: on the digital currency trading platform to cover losses at 360 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: his hedge fund, which is Alimeter Research. Now there's a 361 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: there's so there's amount of evidence that he's used these 362 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: funds to purchase all types of other assets like real estate, 363 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: covered personal expenses, his parents were pulling out funds. Of course, 364 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: he's pled not guilty to this, but if he's convicted, 365 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: if he's found guilty on all counts, he could face 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: a sentence of up to one hundred and ten years 367 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: in prison, which is less than Bernie Sanders has I'm 368 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: not Bernie Sanders made off Bernie Madoff. 369 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: Sorry, it'll be interesting. 370 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: Will he face that time or will his political benefactors 371 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: come to with rescue. Now, this next question would be 372 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: if he's found guilty, will those political donations be clawed back? 373 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: That's the interesting piece I'd love to hear your thoughts 374 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: on that. Hit me up on social media, let me 375 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: know what you think. At one, Mark Moss, let me know. 376 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: By the way, I haven't been on Twitter for like 377 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: two months. My Twitter account got hacked. If you know 378 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, go ahead and hit him up for me 379 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: as well and tell him he should get my account 380 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: back on. But anyway, hit me up, let me know 381 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: what you think about that. If you're just tune in 382 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Moss Show, I got to take 383 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: a very quick break, but I got a lot more 384 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: breaking news headlines when I come back in just a minute. 385 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: You don't want to miss them, don't go away. 386 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: I'll we're back, all right, Welcome back. If you're just 387 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: tune in, you're listening to the Mark mass Show. We're 388 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: talking about, of course, the decentralized revolution, as we do 389 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 1: every week, as we look at it through the latest 390 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: breaking news headlines and the lens of politics, finance and technology, 391 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: and something I've been talking about for a couple of 392 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: weeks I've done quite a bit about is as we 393 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: always do, the decentralization, the deglobalization, but really the makeup 394 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: of the world and how it's changing, and specifically we've 395 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: been talking about the migration that's happening. It's happening big 396 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: time over in Europe. It's been going on for years 397 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: and years over there. It's obviously escalated very fast over 398 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: in Italy. If you missed any of those shows, go 399 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: back and check it out on the archive. Just starts 400 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: the Mark Mass Show on your favorite podcast player or 401 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: on the market Instructor's YouTube channel. I did a video 402 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: on my main YouTube channel, Mark Moss, talking about the 403 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: hidden reason and behind all this immigration. It's a pretty 404 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: in depth investigative. 405 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: Type story if you're interested in that. 406 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: But we talked about not just the immigration happening in Italy, 407 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: but we also talked about what's happening in the United. 408 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: States specifically, and we know that. 409 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: I think last month's at a record it was almost 410 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand people came across the border illegally in 411 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: the United States and the borders are basically wide open. 412 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: In that video on my YouTube channel, you can see 413 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: videos of people literally just walking across literally the border 414 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: patrol opening the gates and letting people across. Elon Musk, 415 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: he decided to take upon himself and go down to 416 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: the border, because of course none of our leaders will 417 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: go down there. So he went down to the border 418 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: and he turned his phone on, his camera on, and 419 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: he showed you exactly what's going on down there. 420 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 2: It's a disaster. 421 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I've been talking about for a while, 422 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: and Elon Musk actually talks all the time about. One 423 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest threats that we face right now is 424 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: actually depopulation. Not some conspiratorial agenda, just the fact that 425 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: we have an aging demographics that are old and we 426 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: don't have enough young people coming up below them. The 427 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: US we had this echo boom, this millennial generation that's 428 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: pretty big. So we're a little bit better off than 429 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: most developed nations. 430 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: But Japan is in. 431 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: Really really bad shape, Europe's in bad shape, China is 432 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: in really bad shape. And so we have this depopulation, 433 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: and so we need immigration, and so the United States 434 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: needs immigration. As a matter of fact, we're trying to 435 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: re onshore this chip manufacturing and we're trying to get 436 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: TSMC from Taiwan to set up a plant in Phoenix, Arizona. 437 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: And the problem that they have is they can't get 438 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: enough good quality people to work in this planet. So 439 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: we need immigration, we need to bring in educated people, 440 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: but what we don't need is just an open border 441 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: where anybody can come across without any types of checks. 442 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: We know there's plenty of reports out there that that 443 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: the cartels have been using this to just push as 444 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: many drugs up and even humans smuggling up across the 445 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: border as they can anyway. 446 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: So we've talked about this extensively. 447 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: But what's interesting is that obviously we know whether regardless 448 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: of what political side of you're on that Donald Trump 449 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: ran on a platform to close the border and build 450 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: the wall, and he wanted to build the wall, and 451 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats just would not allow him to build the wall, 452 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: and this became sort of this big talking point. He 453 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: was able to ram some stuff through and they were 454 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: able to build some part of the wall, and then 455 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: it's just been sitting there. So he wanted to close 456 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: the borders, and then Joe Biden wanted to open them up, 457 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: which is why now we've had millions of people come 458 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: across the borders illegally. Like I said, almost three hundred 459 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: thousand people just last month alone. Now, this has turned 460 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: out to be a massive problem, and it's turned out 461 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: to be such a massive problem that things are finally 462 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: starting to change. It's very interesting, and it's interesting. This 463 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: is why we talk about these signposts, so we can 464 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: see these shifts before they happen. And so part of 465 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: what's happened is that I think the Bide administration, the 466 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: Democrats really like this to happen because it's happening in 467 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: the Southern States, and the southern states need to be 468 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: turned from. 469 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: Red to blue. 470 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: But some of the southern states decided, well, what we'll 471 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: do is we'll just start pushing them up into the 472 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: Northern States. And so we know plenty of reports of 473 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: them getting up to New York City, and this is 474 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: where things finally started to change. 475 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: I talked about it a few weeks ago. 476 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams in New York City said, this is 477 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: such a big problem and there's no way out. He said, 478 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: never have I seen this before in my life, and 479 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's no way that we get. 480 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: Out of this. 481 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: The governor of New York now, who was very very 482 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: very pro open borders, very pro allowing the legal immigration 483 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: to happen, has now all of a sudden come out 484 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: and switched her viewpoint and says we can no longer 485 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: continue to house these people. So it's great when it 486 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: pushes my political ideology, and it's great when I want 487 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: to punish a red state like Texas and turn them blue. 488 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, when the problem shows up 489 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: on my step and my state has to deal with it, 490 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: and my state constituents have to deal with it, where 491 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: Shrewdon might not get elected, all of a sudden it 492 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: becomes a big problem. And so now Mayrick Adams and 493 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: the governor in New York have finally changed their mind. 494 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Now they know that this is a big, big deal 495 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: for Americans. 496 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: I don't care. 497 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: Again, this is not a political thing, in my opinion, 498 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: I think most Americans care about this. And the Biden 499 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: administration wants these borders to be opened so much, in fact, 500 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: that they have been selling off for the Bide administration 501 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: has been selling off the uninstalled border wall in advance 502 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: of this finished act being passed. We can see the 503 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: Biden administration has been hawking sections of the Trump's border 504 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: wall on a government military surplus website called gov Planet, 505 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: where they've auctioned off eighty one batches of square structural 506 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: tubing and some steel columns. Just since April alone. Meanwhile, 507 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: legal border crossings have gotten to the highest level on record, 508 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: and last two Tuesday, the Biden administration sold seven hundred 509 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: twenty eight foot long haul of beams in five separate 510 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: lots for two hundred and twelve dollars each, notting one 511 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four thousand dollars. Now this is interesting 512 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: because the Democratic led Senate passed a Republican sponsored bill 513 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: last month called the Finish It Act, aimed at forcing 514 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: the administration to extend the wall. So Biden, so Trump 515 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: tried to get it done. Biden said, nope, leave them, 516 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: leave it down. Let's bring as many people in as 517 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: we can. But this Finish It Act would force the 518 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: administration to extend the wall. The legislation would force the 519 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: federal government to use the leftover materials on new wall 520 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: construction or hand them over to Texas, so Texas could 521 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: put them up. Either you put them up or Texas 522 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: will put them up instead. Knowing this is going to happen, 523 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: the Biden administration is rushing to liquidate the wall leftovers 524 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: before the House can patch past this version of the bill. 525 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: So now the Bid Administration's like, WHOA, well, you're going 526 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: to pass the bill, forcing. 527 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: Us either either a build or to give the so 528 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: they can build it. 529 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: Well, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get rid 530 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: of it all, so you can't force us to do that. 531 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: The sale is a wasteful and ludicrous decision by the 532 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: Biden administration that only serves as further proof they have 533 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: no shame, says Senator Roger Wicker, Republican from Mississippi. The 534 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: pennies made from selling the border wall will not be 535 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: enough to pay the families who suffer from a criminal 536 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: act committed by someone who crosses our open borders during 537 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: the Bide administration, said Senator James Langford, Republican from Oklahoma. Now, 538 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying this because this just goes to show how 539 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: bad the Biden administration wants to keep the wall open, 540 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: that even in advance of a bill going through that 541 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: would force them to finish, they're like, fine, we know 542 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: we're about. 543 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: To be forced into it, so let's just get rid 544 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: of it all. Okay. But here's here's the plot twist. 545 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: This week, enough is enough, The pain has gotten high enough, 546 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: the Blue states have felt the pain high enough, and 547 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: in a stunning reversal, of everything that's been said over 548 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: the last several years by the left. Just months after, 549 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: like I said, the Bid administration has been caught selling 550 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: the border wall for pennies on the dollar. The Department 551 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorchis is citing quote an acute 552 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: and immediate need quote to wave dozens of federal laws 553 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: in order to build a border wall as the legal 554 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: immigration crisis grows utterly out of control. He said, quote, 555 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Homeland Security is determined, pursuant to law, 556 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and 557 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction 558 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international 559 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: land border in Star County, Texas. 560 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 2: So why do they need. 561 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: To wave laws in order to get this built. They've 562 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: been trying to build this for a long time. The 563 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: parts are already there. It's the Biden administration that's putting 564 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: these laws in place to prevent the wall from being built. 565 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: They're trying to sell it off as fast as they can, 566 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: so they don't even have the supplies to do it. 567 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 2: But now the part of the Home Security, may Orchist 568 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: is saying whoa, whoa, whoa. We need to do this. 569 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we need to do it 570 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: so bad that we're going to go around the laws 571 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: by my own political party. And so anyway, Elon must 572 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: tweeted how times have changed, and they certainly have. 573 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: So. 574 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: Look, the tide is changing, the shift is here, the 575 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: decentralization is happening, the uniparty is losing power. There is 576 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: some hope for here in this. We do have the power. 577 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: We need to stick to our guns and make this happen. 578 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: If you're just tune in listening to the Mark mah 579 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: Show and running through some of the latest breaking news 580 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: headlines this week that show us that the decentralized revolution 581 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: is upon us, to show us that the pendulum is 582 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: swinging back. It just happens slowly, but these are the signposts. Anyway, 583 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to take a very quick break. I'll be 584 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: back with more in a minute. Don't go away, We're back, all. 585 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: Right, Welcome back. 586 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 587 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: mass Show, We're talking about the latest breaking news headlines 588 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: this week that document that are the signpost of the 589 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: decentralized revolution that we are going through right now and again, 590 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: we see these signs everywhere. Now, one thing that I 591 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: saw this week that really caught my eye. I thought 592 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: it was great that I've known a something that I've felt, 593 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: I've talked about. 594 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: But I saw an article. 595 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: This week that really sort of put it all together, 596 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: and so I wanted to kind of share this with you, 597 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: and it talked about how, unfortunately in the world, but 598 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: even in the United States, it's not capitalism that we've 599 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: been dealing with. It's corporatism. It's crony capitalism if we will, 600 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: maybe it's fascism if we will. The labels, the definitions, 601 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: we get lost in them sometimes. But what we see 602 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: is that the big government and the big corporations collude 603 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: and work together to push a shared agenda. The corporations 604 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: lobby the government, the government puts laws and regulations in 605 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: place to entrench and protect their position. 606 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: And then they take as. 607 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: Much money as they can from the public. We see 608 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: this over and over. As a matter of fact, I 609 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: saw this week JSX, which is an airline that flies 610 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: local routes. I've used them many times. You can fly 611 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: local routes like from Orange County to Phoenix or to 612 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: sanfordis go ver to Vegas, for example. They're not a 613 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: big national carrier like American Airlines in Southwest, but they're 614 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: great and when I need these short routes, I've used them. 615 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: I love them. It's a perfect airline. 616 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: And it's really cutting into the big airlines business model, 617 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: which is good. We should have competition, we should have 618 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: multiple choices, competition beings broader service, products and prices for us. 619 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: But the big airlines don't like this, and so now 620 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: this week they are trying to shut JSX down. They're 621 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: saying they telling the FAA that hey, they don't have 622 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, they're following their regulations, they're not safe whatever 623 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: it is, even though they beat all their safety records. 624 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: And this is an example of the big corporations American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, 625 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: et cetera, using the federal government to pass laws and 626 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: regulations to prevent JSX or competitors to pop up so 627 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: they continue to. 628 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: Make more money. 629 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: Right, So, this is how it works. Unfortunately, it's not capitalism. 630 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: Capitalism is allowing GSX to operate. Corporatism is when the 631 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: corporations of the government work together to do this. And 632 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: so we can see that America unfortunately has changed and 633 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: the profit incentives are now driving the American police state. 634 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I saw Denis Dsuza, an 635 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: awesome filmmaker, is coming out with a new movie. I 636 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: think it's called Police State. I think it's out in November. 637 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: I'll definitely be talking about it as it comes out. 638 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: But it reminds me of a book that I often 639 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: talk about I think everyone should read, and it's The Law. 640 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: It's written by Frederick Bastiat, and it's like a booklet 641 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: you could read about an hour, hour and a half. 642 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: If you're listening right now, open up your Amazon app 643 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: and just buy it. It's called The Law, and you 644 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: should read it. Everyone should read it. Have your kids 645 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: read it. And Frederick Bastiat talks about a term in 646 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: there called legal plunder, and he says, when plunder becomes 647 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: a way of life for a group of men in 648 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: society over the course of time, they create for themselves 649 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code 650 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: that glorifies it. When plunder becomes a way of life 651 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: over the course of time, they create for themselves a 652 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: legal system that authorizes it, and more code that glorifies it. 653 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: So it's legal plunder, a way to legally steal from you. 654 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we're seeing in this corporateocracy that 655 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: we have today. And we can see this evidenced in 656 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: this police state, as this article brought up that I 657 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: thought it was great. It was on zero Hedge, and 658 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: it shows us steady march of the police state at 659 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: both the national, the state and local levels, and the 660 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: essential freedoms that are being trampled because of this all 661 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: in the mind and the single pursuit of power but 662 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: really profit. So if we look at this, we can 663 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: see it all over. So for example, like what's behind 664 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: the blackout. 665 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 2: Of real news? 666 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if we really saw properly disclosed and consistent 667 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: reporting on these types of things, maybe the people would 668 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: be outraged. Yet when you're bombarded with wall to wall 669 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 1: news coverage and news cycles that change every few days, 670 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: it's difficult for us to stay focused on one thing, 671 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: namely holding the government accountable to abiding by the rule 672 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: of law. And the powers that be understand this right, 673 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: So it's part of the plan. If you want to 674 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: know the real motives behind any government program, all you 675 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: have to do, just like any good crime documentary, or 676 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: a crime TV showould say. 677 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: Is follow the money trail. 678 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: Right, So if we follow the money trail, we quickly 679 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: start to see what's going on. We can find out 680 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: who profits from from the American police state. Who profits 681 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: from Americans being surveilled, fined, scanned, searched, probed, tasered, arrested, imprisoned, 682 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: and all those other things. The courts which try them, 683 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: the prisons which incarcerate them, the corporations which manufacture the 684 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: equipment the prisons, all of this being used by the 685 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: American police state. Now, not only are Americans forced to 686 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: spend more on taxes than the annual financial burdens of food, education, clothing, 687 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: but those taxes are going to build your own prison. 688 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: So let me give you some examples of this of 689 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: how this legal plunder works and how your tax dollars 690 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: are literally going to build your own prison. 691 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: So the roads, for example, the roads. 692 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: We have, you know, not just the police departments don't 693 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: want to just pad their pockets from issuing speeding tickets. Now, 694 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: police departments have turned into asset forfeiture and speeding in 695 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: red light camera schemes as means of growing their profits. 696 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: Despite revelations of corruption, collusion, fraud. These money making scams 697 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: have been inflicted on unsuspecting drivers by revenue hungry municipalities. 698 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: So they're having all kinds of schemes. Asset forfeiture. That's 699 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: a whole another topic on its own. How much money 700 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: they steal will come back to that in a minute. 701 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: But like the red light cameras and things like that, 702 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: and then what about all the companies that make the 703 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: red light cameras and all of these things in the prisons. 704 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: We can see now that states now have quotas to 705 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: meet for how many Americans go to jail. States have 706 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: quotas for how many people go to jail. Increasing numbers 707 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: of states now have contracted to keep their prisons to 708 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: ninety to one hundred percent capacity profit. These prisons are 709 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: being driven by profits, and now states have to keep 710 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: them at full capacity. Seventy billion dollar private prison industry 711 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: relies on the complete city of state governments to keep 712 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: the money flowing. All the while, then prisoners are also 713 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: being forced to provide cheap labor for private corporations. No 714 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: wonder the United States has one of the largest prison 715 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: systems in the world. 716 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 2: What about the schools. 717 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: The public schools have become a microcosm of the total 718 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: surveilled state which currently dominates America. 719 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 2: They have a host of surveillance technologies. 720 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: Including video cameras, finger and palm scanners, IRIS scanners, RFID, 721 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: GPS tracking devices to keep constant watch over their student bodies. Likewise, 722 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: the military industrial complex, with its military weapons, metal detectors, 723 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: weapons of compliance such as tasers, have succeeded in transforming 724 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: the schools at great taxpayer expense and personal profit into 725 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: quasi prisons. 726 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 2: So with a profit motive. Now, of course it's being 727 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 2: sold to you for your safety. We have to keep 728 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: the kids safe, right, So let's spend. 729 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: All this money with all these military industrial complex companies 730 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: to put the metal detectors in and the scanners in. 731 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: What about the endless abroad fueled by again a profit 732 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: driven military industrial complex. We have this ever expanding military 733 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: empire that's bleeding the country dry at a rate of 734 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: more than ninety three million dollars per hour. The military 735 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: destrial complex is bleeding the country dry at ninety three 736 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: million per hour. 737 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 2: What about the police? 738 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: Now, you know there is all this obviously this whole 739 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: defund the police BLM thing, which I'm not forgetting rid 740 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: of the police at all one hundred percent. I'm not 741 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: I support the police, but I have been against the 742 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: militarization of. 743 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 2: The police for a very long time. 744 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: The Department of holoand Security routinely hands out six figure 745 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: grants to enable local municipalities to churchase to purchase military 746 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: style vehicles as well as veritable war chest of weaponry 747 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: ranging from tactical vests, bomb disarming robots, assault weapons, combat uniforms. 748 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: The rise of military equipment purchased funded by the DHS has, 749 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: according to analysts, paralleled on an apparent increase in local 750 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: swat teams, and so now they're spending more money to. 751 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 2: Keep you safe. All of these things are being done. 752 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: To continue to push power, continue to control the people, 753 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: but more importantly, at at a point of producing profit 754 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: for these corporations. Corporatetocracy take to I just flew in 755 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: last night. I had to go through TSA. Just look 756 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: at TSA. Before TSA, you didn't have all that equipment. 757 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: You didn't have. I was noticing they have these brand 758 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: new X ray scanners I hadn't seen before. I'm sure 759 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: that cost a lot of money. I'm sure that was 760 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: probably hundreds of billions of dollars that was given to 761 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: a private company in a contract. This is the legal 762 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: plunder that we were talking about. This is what happens 763 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: when we have a corporatocracy. That's what happens when we 764 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: have corporatism and the government work together to collude with 765 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: the corporations to push their agenda.
