1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome back to another episode of The Mark Moss Show, 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: where we talk about the decentralized revolution, the way the 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: world's changing right before our very eyes. And of course 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: the three revolutionary cycles are politics, finance, and yes, technology, 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: so we look at the world through those lens so 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: we can see what's happening and understand what's happening, and 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: of course make decisions to protect ourselves and come out. 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: Ahead as all of this happens. 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: Now in the world of finance, you know, we are 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: witnessing three revolutions. There's a technological revolution on a fifty 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: year cycle, of political revolution cycle on a tunifty year cycle, 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: and a financial revolution cycle on an eighty year cycle. 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: And it's pretty easy to see the financial revolution is here. 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: The entire finance system that we have in the world 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: today is completely breaking apart. We have way too much 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: debt and we don't have enough production. There's not enough 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: global GDP growth to manage the amount of debt that 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: we have, so I mean the debt is growing fast 19 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: than the production. Remember, wealth is not money, Wealth is 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: goods and services. If the money grows faster than the 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: goods and services does. 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: Then you have massive inflation. 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: You have more currency units, more money chasing a limited 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: supply of goods. It pushes the prices up. So that's 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: why your meat and your milk, and your cheese and 26 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: your eggs and your gas in your house and everything 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: else is getting so expensive. And part of it isn't 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: just that the money supply is growing faster than the 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: goods and services, but it's debt. And so debt does 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: two things. One, yes, it crowds out the market and 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: makes the price of everything go up, but it also 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: is a drag on production, on productivity. It's like it's 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: like putting on like one hundred pounds backpack and then 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: trying to go run a marathon. It just drags it 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: down because like, for example, I took on this debt. 36 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: Let's say that I took. 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: On this debt to buy this new piece of equipment 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: from my office my company, and I was hoping that 39 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: that would then bring me more revenue. So I'm going 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: to take a thousand dollars payment on this new truck, 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: but hopefully it makes me five thousand a month in 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: new business. But let's say that that business doesn't come 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: and now I'm just stuck making this thousand dollars payment 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: on the truck, and now I can't afford to go 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: do another thing because I got to sit there and 46 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: make that payment on that truck. So drags things down, 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: and of course we're front and center to another debt 48 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: ceiling debate. Talked about this for the last couple weeks 49 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: because it's coming to a head. As a matter of fact, 50 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: we're witnessing what's known as the X date. The X 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: date is the date that the government, like literally the 52 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: United States government, the US Treasury. 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: Runs out of money. That's the date. 54 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: That's the date everything falls apart. And here we are 55 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: running straight to that and it looks like we might 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: actually hit it now. They say the US government won't default. 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: You know, Biden's on there saying we won't default. We're 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: not dead beats, we pay our debt, et cetera. I 59 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: want you to just understand one thing clear. First of all, 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: there's two types of defaults here, Okay, a hard default. 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: A hard default is when they say we ain't paying 62 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: we're not paying any of our bills, like we're not 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: paying back our treasury, so we're not paying back our 64 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: bond holders. That's not gonna happen, right, no government with 65 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: a money printer will ever default on that. They're gonna 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: pay that, but then there's a technical default, and a 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: technical default will happen if they don't make a deal 68 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: in time and it gets delayed a couple of days. Now, 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: if it gets delayed a couple days, they'll just you know, 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: take money from one place to another. They'll say, hey, 71 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: i'll pay you next week, I'll pay you with interest, 72 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: and they'll pay the bills like this gets resolved. Of course, 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: they have a money printer, they're gonna pay it. But 74 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: a technical default could happen if a deal can't be 75 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: reached in time. And we're getting to that point as 76 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: a matter of fact. This week, the Bide administration and 77 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: the Republican side, McCarthy leading that side, have been meeting 78 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: and they say they are not, I mean close to 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: a deal. Now. I've gone through the details of that deal. 80 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to kind of recall all that roight 81 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: off the top of them my head. But the Republicans 82 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: have offered to raise the debt ceiling another one point 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: five trillion. 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: Now, to put that into. 85 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Perspective, in two thousand and eight, when there was a 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: great financial crash, when the entire global financial system was. 87 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: Crumbling, the entire it was a seven hundred billion dollar bailout. 88 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: So right now the Republicans are offering them double the 89 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: money that they needed in two thousand eight to save 90 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: the whole world. Double that it's not enough. Democrats say no, 91 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: no deal. Biden says no deal. So they've offered them 92 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: that because they said, hey, we'll give you the one 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: point five trillion. But over the next several years, you're 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to start cutting some of the budgets, like 95 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: you just because the budget is projected to continue to 96 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: grow bigger and bigger, bigger the deficit the shortcoming of 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: the income and expenses. The deficit is projected to get 98 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, which means, per 99 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: the government's own plans the CBO Congressional Budget Office. 100 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: Per the CBO's report, they're. 101 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Planning to continue to spend more than they bring in 102 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: over the next several years, and not just spend more 103 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: than they bring in, but continue to increase the gap 104 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: and continue to spend even more and more and more 105 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: as they're not bringing enough. So they're projecting for the 106 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: deficit to grow from one trillion to two trillion to 107 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: three trillion over the next decade. So the Republicans are like, 108 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: hang on, hang on, hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, 109 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: we'll give you the one point five trillion, Like that'll 110 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: all that, But we can't continue to grow the deficit. 111 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: We have to start trying to like rain this in 112 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: a little bit here, and Biden says no deal. So 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: you know what they're telling you, you know the Bide 114 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: administration is telling you, is that they. 115 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: Want the world to end. 116 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: You know, eight million Americans are going to lose their job. 117 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, your Social Security, your Medicare isn't going to 118 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: get paid. 119 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: You know, they're telling you all that stuff. But that's 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: that's that's not the truth. 121 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: They're offering to pay one point five trillion. Are increase 122 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: it by one point five trillion now, but you're gonna 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: have to start cutting as things move forward. 124 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: Now. 125 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: The by administration, so like I said, says we're gonna 126 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: cut all this, it's gonna be tragic. Well, that's not 127 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: what they're saying. They're asking for minuscule cuts or really 128 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: keeping spending on where we were back in twenty twenty two. 129 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: Now in twenty twenty two. 130 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: Was a record year. 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: We increased the money supply in the United States by 132 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: forty percent from twenty twenty twenty twenty two forty percent. 133 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: That was a record year for spending. And they're just saying, hey, 134 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: we should just hold spending to there. And if I 135 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: can recall, twenty twenty two wasn't that far back, and 136 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: you can recall as well as we can both recall 137 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: a year ago the world didn't end, bills got paid, 138 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: eight million Americans were not laid off, Medicare and Social 139 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Security were still paid. So going back to that level 140 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: doesn't sound so catastrophic. 141 00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: Of course, that's what we're being told. 142 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: However, Janet Yellen, she's going around saying, hey, look guys. 143 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, Janney Ellen's the head of the Treasury, Treasury Secretary, 144 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: and she's saying, hey, look, we're we're trying to get 145 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: this dead deal done. We're going to get it done. 146 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to be bad. But what's important to 147 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: understand is that regardless whether a deal gets done or not, 148 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: it could still be really bad. In twenty eleven, we 149 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: got really close to that, a deal was struck at 150 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: the last minute, but yet the stock market. The SIP 151 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: five hunderd dropped seventeen percent, seventeen percent, It's big dropped, 152 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of other markets dropped even more. And 153 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: so the Democrats don't want that to happen. Now, the 154 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: Democrats are basically they rolled out a letter demanding that 155 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Biden use a fourteenth Amendment to bypass all this and 156 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: just raise the dead ceiling on their own, basically bypassed 157 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the entire government. The whole point of the government in 158 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: the United States is that we have divided powers, so 159 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: people can't use move move unilaterally. We don't have a 160 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: king or a dictator. But they want to bypass that, 161 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: of course. Ernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, John Fetterman, Richard Blumenthal, 162 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Tina Smith At Marky, Jeff Merkley, Sheldon Whitehouse, Peter Welch, 163 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: they all want them to do this, just unilaterally decide. 164 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: And Biden says he thinks he has the authority to 165 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: do it. 166 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: He says he can do it. 167 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Now it's going to be a challenge because they're not 168 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: supposed to do it. So it's going to be a showdown. 169 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be a constitutional showdown if this happens, 170 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: and either way. Regardless of what happens, this weakens the 171 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: view of the government, It weakens the confidence that people 172 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: have in the government. It looks horrible on the global stage. 173 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: And regardless of what happens, there is massive amounts of 174 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: money printing in front of us. All right, there's no 175 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: way to pay the bills without increasing the limits. So 176 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: Biden wants an unlimited checkbook. The Republicans are like, not 177 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: only one point five trillion, We lose sight of these 178 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: numbers go so big. So either way, there's massive money 179 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: printing the head The only fight right now is over 180 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: how much. 181 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: Now. 182 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Markmaas Show, 183 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about this decentralized revolution. I'm talking about some 184 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: of the latest breaking news headlines from this week. I'll 185 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: be back with more in a minute. Don't go away, 186 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: I'll be her back. 187 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. 188 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: If you're just tuning and you're listening to the Mark 189 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: mass Show, of course, always talking about the decentralized revolution, 190 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: the way the world is changing, and we're looking at 191 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: it through the lens of politics, finance, technology, and we're 192 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: looking at some of the latest breaking news headlines. This week, 193 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: so you can see exactly how this is playing out. 194 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: And of course it's always technology that changes the world. 195 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: We talked about the finance side just before the break. 196 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Hopefully you caught that. If not, no worries, I got 197 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: you back. 198 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: I got you back. 199 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: You can catch it on the podcast. Just search the 200 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: Mark Mass Show on your favorite podcast player, or you 201 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: can jump over onto YouTube go to Market Disruptors, Market Disruptors, 202 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: and you can watch me and listen to me at 203 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: the same time over there. 204 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: So if you miss it. 205 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: Any of this, or you missed me one week, don't worry, 206 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: go over there on the podcast or the YouTube channel 207 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: and catch me. 208 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: Now. 209 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: We just talked about the finance side, the debt ceiling problem, 210 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: and now on the technology side is what changes the 211 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: world the most, and that of course is bitcoin, this 212 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: technological revolution. 213 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you might. 214 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: Be skeptical about the volatility of the US dollar valuation. 215 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: It used to be fifty thousand or sixty thousand, and 216 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: now thirty thousand, right, and so you kind of get 217 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: some of that. But as I always say, the price 218 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: is a distraction on brand new technologies. The price is 219 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: a distraction, not always, but on brand new technologies. And 220 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: what we really want to look at is two things, 221 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: the growth of the network, and we also want to 222 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: look at the technology development on the network. Now, technology 223 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: scales in layers, just like the monetary system does. So 224 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: gold was money and it was a base settlement layer. 225 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: If I had the gold, I had the gold. If 226 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: I gave you the gold, you have the gold. But 227 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: then we moved into the information age, and so then 228 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: gold added a layer too. The gold goes in the bank. 229 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: They gave me a paper gold certificate. That's a gold 230 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: claimant I owe you. Now we can move the paper 231 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: much faster, but it's not as secure. Then we have 232 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: checks that's layer three. Then we have a credit cards 233 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: that's layer four. Now we have Venmo and PayPal that's 234 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: layer five. And so we have all these different layers, 235 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: and each of those layers offer us different trade offs. 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: And Bitcoin, a lot of people say, well, bitcoin's old. 237 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: Come on, Mark, Bitcoin's the stupidest, oldest, dumbest, slowest blockchain 238 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: out there. We want something faster. Well, that's true kind 239 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: of except for technology scales and layers. That's the Internet 240 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: scales as well. If we want we had the internet, 241 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: we want email great, We'll put another layer on SMTP. 242 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Oh we want security great through another layer on ATTPS. 243 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: And that's how technology works. So if you make that argument, 244 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: if you want to argue with me on that, that 245 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: just kind of shows you don't understand technology. 246 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: I hate to tell you that. 247 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: We are scaling bitcoin layers and now we have these 248 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: Layer two and we have Layer three applications on top 249 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: of bitcoin. And so now with Layer two applications, you 250 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: can already send bitcoin faster and cheaper and more private 251 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: than any other cryptocurrency out there. So every other blockchain 252 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency says they're faster, cheaper and more private, Well they're 253 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: all obsolete now. Now we're running NFTs on blockchain. So 254 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: all these other blockchains that say, well, but we can 255 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: do smart contracts and NFTs, well we're doing that on 256 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: a Big One blockchain now, so those are all obsolete. 257 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: And talking about new development, we saw announced at the 258 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: Big One conference last week a new layer two protocol 259 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: called ARC. 260 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 2: And what's cool about ARC. 261 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Is it's giving you layer two scaleability, allowing you to 262 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: be faster and cheaper and more private but easier. All right, 263 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: So some people might say lightning, which is kind of 264 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: the main layer two channel. Right now, people might say 265 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: that lightning is difficult to use, it's hard to open 266 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: up channels, things like that, and of course things get 267 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: easier over time, so the problem that we have with 268 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: it today won't always be the problem. 269 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: That's what solutions are for. 270 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: But what we're seeing is that now we have another one, 271 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: a competing one, which is good more development, and this 272 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: makes it way easier. 273 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: That's really cool. 274 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: And speaking of ARC, that's the name of this new 275 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: layer two protocol. Speaking of ARC, we have Kathy Wood 276 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: from ARC. She runs a large technology ETF called ARC, 277 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: and she's talking about this week. She was talking about 278 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: how the US, unfortunately seems to be losing this whole movement. 279 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: She's the investment founder of investment manager ARC Invest, and 280 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: she's talking about how it's losing the movement because of 281 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: the regulatory system that it's imposing and how they're basically 282 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: forcing this off the coast. 283 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: She said, quote, it'd be nice if the US. 284 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: We're leading this movement, but we're losing it, and we're 285 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: losing it because of our regulatory system end quote. The regulators, 286 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: the government, they don't like innovation, they don't like things moving. 287 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Christine Legard, who is the head of the IMF now 288 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: she's head of the ECB European Central Banks. She said 289 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: that innovation is a threat to our financial stability, and 290 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: that's actually true. She's actually right. But that's a good thing. 291 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: So yes, it's disrupting the old system, So yes, it 292 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: makes the old system less stable, but in favor of 293 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: a new, better system. That's called creative destruction. A new 294 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: technology comes along that's so much better that it destroys 295 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: the old way. Digital camera or digital photos on cameras 296 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: were so much better that one hundred year old company 297 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: like Kodak went out of business. Now Kodak could have 298 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: stopped the entire digital camera movement and we could have 299 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: just stuck having to use expensive and harmful chemicals in 300 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: traditional old school film. Could have still been the biggest 301 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: company today in that space, but we wouldn't have the 302 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: innovation which has changed the world as we know it. 303 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: And we want to have that. We want pictures to 304 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: be easier, aster, cheaper, et cetera. And so that's what 305 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: they want to do. They want to stop that. And 306 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: these regulators are doing this, as Kathy would is saying, 307 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: they're driving it overseas, but overseas are pretty hostile as well. 308 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: We saw the European Union said that their banks could 309 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: potentially stop or take over the cryptocurrency stable coins, and 310 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: so they want to stop that. They want to you know, 311 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: put all types of regulations there. Inside the United States, 312 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Senator Elizabeth Warren is literally running on a campaign to 313 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: an anti crypto campaign, literally an anti technology campaign. 314 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Luddites. 315 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: I've ever heard that word before. The Luedites were the 316 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: ones that were very opposed to the Industrial Revolution. So 317 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years ago, the entire world was 318 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, agriculture, farming and cottage industry, and then we 319 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: had the Industrial Revolution that created machines. 320 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 2: And the machines could do the work of five thousand men. 321 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: But what about all those five thousand men? 322 00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: What are they going to do? 323 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: And so the Luttites didn't want this to happen, and 324 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: they tried to stop it. They tried to block it, 325 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: they tried to prevent it. They went and damage it, 326 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: they destroyed this technology because they. 327 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: Didn't want it to be there. 328 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: What's going to happen to the old system of working 329 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: toiling by hand in the field. What will these five 330 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: thousand men do. Well, it turns out they did, you know, 331 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: science and medicine and technology and other more important things. 332 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: And so these ludites like Senator Elizabeth Warren, they want 333 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: to stop it, literally running an anti crypto campaign. 334 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: It's insane. 335 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: She's saying that this Digital Asset Money Laundering Act that 336 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: she's trying to push forward is basically going to kill 337 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: it as we know it, because again, it's a threat 338 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: to their system. Now, the insanity that we have groundbreaking 339 00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: revolutionary technology like bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency like AI that's literally 340 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: going to change the world for the future for my kids, 341 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: your kids, grandkids, et cetera. And we have eighty year 342 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: olds in office making decisions now. The average age for 343 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: a fortune five hundred CEO is fifty five. I don't 344 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: think there's really any CEOs in fortune five hundred after 345 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: like sixty five. 346 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: They can't. It's not their fall. 347 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you follow this camp, but you're just 348 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: not up to the same technology standards as. 349 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: The kids are. 350 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: And to have eighty year olds passing bills like the 351 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Ledites trying to stop progress is insane. If you're just 352 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: tuning in you're listening to the Mark mah Show talking 353 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: about the decentralized Revolution, running through some of the biggest 354 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: breaking news headlines this week as we look at it 355 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Now coming up, 356 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: I want to talk more about what's going on in 357 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: the technology space, specifically getting more into AI, what politics 358 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: are saying about AI, et cetera. And then I want 359 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: to get into what the government's trying to do to 360 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: again entrench their position and prevent themselves from being overturned. 361 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the deep state. I'm going to talk 362 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: about that when I come back in a minute. Don't 363 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: go away on your back, all right, Welcome back. If 364 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: you're just tuning and you're listening to the Mark mass Show. 365 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: Of course we're talking about the decentralized revolution each and 366 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: every week, running through the latest breaking news headlines this week, 367 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: and it has this makes my job a little bit 368 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: easier because there's so much stuff to talk about each 369 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: and every week. It's a little bit harder trying to 370 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: figure out what to talk about because there's so many things, 371 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: and you know, were before the break, we were just 372 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: talking about technology and how we have eighty year olds 373 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: in government that are making regulations to prevent new technologies. 374 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: And this has always been the case. As I was 375 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: talking about before the break, I was talking about the 376 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: Luddites that literally tried to stop the industrial revolution. How 377 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: dare we have machines that take away the hard work 378 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: from men? Wouldn't you rather be toiling in the field 379 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: every day, twelve fifteen hours a day, just to grow 380 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: your food and survive. 381 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you rather have that world? 382 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Because that's the world we could have if we wouldn't 383 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: have had the industry revolution, if those Ludites had only 384 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: gotten their way, we'd still be in those. 385 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: Dark ages, toiling in the fields by hand. 386 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: It was the candle makers that tried to stop electricity 387 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: because they didn't want light bulbs to put the candle 388 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: makers out of work. Electricity is dangerous, it's gonna kill humanity. 389 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: It's bad to be indoors. We need candles. It was 390 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: the buggy makers that tried to stop the cars. Cars 391 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: are loud, they're polluting, they're dangerous. How dare these cars 392 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: move down these highways going fast? 393 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: They could hurt people. The buggy makers, we. 394 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: Can go, we can go down the line every time 395 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: there's another technological revolution. There's a group of people, the 396 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: incumbents that have the power, that don't want to lose that. 397 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: The buggy makers didn't want to lose their jobs and 398 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: lose the monopoly over that. The candlemakers didn't want to 399 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: lose their jobs. Luckily for us at the time, you know, 400 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: they didn't succeed, and we got the machine so we 401 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: didn't have to toil in the field. We got the cars 402 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: so we can get around the world. Luckily for us, 403 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: we light bulbs so we don't have to sit there 404 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: and breathe fumes from candles and doors all the time. 405 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: Luckily they didn't have their way. But now we're in 406 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: a situation that's a lot different. Now we're in a 407 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: situation where we have revolutionary technology. It's rapidly growing and 408 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: expanding and changing, and we have you know, cryptocurrency and bitcoin, 409 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: we have ai et cetera that literally could change the 410 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: world as we know it for the better. Technology always does, 411 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: but the people that are fearing it are trying to 412 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: stop it. And like I said, we have eighty year 413 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: olds in office regulating this stuff. And I'm sorry, I mean, 414 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting older too. 415 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: I get it. Like we just we changed, like. 416 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: We need young people full of energy on the job 417 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: over there, and yet we're not seeing that. As a 418 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: matter of fact, we're getting warnings from the government, like 419 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: for example, this week, there's an article that came out 420 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: and that said warning the twenty twenty four elections could 421 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: be ruined because of AI. AI could ruin it because 422 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: AI could make deep fakes, and we could basically make 423 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: you know, deep fakes, which is like a video or 424 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: audio from President Trump or President Biden. 425 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: But it would be faked. 426 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: And AI is so good now it can do this, 427 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: and you know these deep fakes are going to be 428 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: so good that you know they could be misleading voters. Well, 429 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: if you're being misled by an AI, then you probably 430 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: shouldn't be voting. 431 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: How about that? 432 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: How about we say that? And of course it's all 433 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: for your protection. And one of the problems with the 434 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: I with technology too is it tries to get co opted, 435 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: so one group is going to try to use it 436 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: against their other group. And so now we've seen there's 437 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: been dozens and dozens and dozens of tests where we've 438 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: seen that the AI right now, the big one is 439 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: you know chat, GPT. 440 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: Of course, Google just launched their bart as well. 441 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: But how it's very let's say left. 442 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 2: Leaning, shall we say right? 443 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: So it's very left leaning and they would say they'd 444 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: ask at certain questions and it would be very pro 445 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: you know, left, and very con against the right, as 446 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: we've seen that. And now so it's been co opted 447 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: by one group and now it looks like we're going 448 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: to have left wing GBT, and now we're going to 449 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: have to have a right wing GBT, which is only 450 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: going to divide the world that much more. So we 451 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: already sort of have this. If you want to know 452 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: why people are kind of so divided, it's because if 453 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: you're watching let's say CNN or you know, one of 454 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, one of those government mouthpieces, you're getting 455 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: a completely different set of facts than you will if 456 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: you go watch like independent news journalists. And so it's 457 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: it's no wonder, right, like, well, I watched this and 458 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: they told me this. Well, no, I watched this, they 459 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: told me this, and so then the two sides have 460 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: been told two different stories. And when everything becomes politicized, 461 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: that's what happens. And now they want to politicize AI. 462 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: So literally, well, I asked chet, I asked right chat jubt, 463 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: and it gave me this answer. Well, I asked left 464 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: chat gubt, and it gave me this Whatever happened to facts? 465 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: Whatever happened to facts? Whatever happened to data without opinion? 466 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: And the problem is as. 467 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: We start to use these technologies and we start to 468 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: assign more and more of our thought process and critical 469 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: thinking skills to these, unfortunately. 470 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 2: We're going to get more and more and more of that. 471 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: You know, critical thinking skills is something they. 472 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 2: Don't teach you in school anymore. 473 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, before the information age, the problem was how do 474 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: I get enough information? The problem that we have today 475 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: is we have too much information? So how do I 476 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: discern it? And that's why we need critical thinking skills. 477 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: If you had critical thinking skills, the AI deep fakes 478 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: of Biden Trump probably wouldn't be a problem. You could 479 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: you could cut through this, you could see this. If 480 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: that was the case, it's very promising if we use 481 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: it right. We saw an article came out this week 482 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: that AI is the feuwture of offshore oil drilling, and 483 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: shell Shell recently announced plans to use an AI based 484 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: technology in its deep sea exploration and product production activities. 485 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: So Shell can use this new technology to provide a 486 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: safer way to get energy, a more cost effective way 487 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: that could lower our costs of energy, conserve energy. Those 488 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: are all good things I want that we should let 489 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: this technology happen. We don't need a bunch of leadites 490 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: trying to prevent this from happening, and we don't need 491 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: it to be co opted by one political party or another. 492 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: Now it's dangerous because I guess it can be used 493 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: against you in a way where one side controls it 494 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and politicize it. We saw Google which has now launched 495 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: their own AI called bart, And of course you probably 496 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: know that Google makes its majority of its money from 497 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: its AD platform, So it's no wonder that they're going 498 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: to take their AD platform, their largest source of revenue, 499 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: and their new AI tool and try to put that together. 500 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: Which could be cool, it could also be bad. That's 501 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: how tools are. 502 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: Tools can be used for good, tools can be used 503 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: for bad. Google saying that their new generative AI systems 504 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: for advertising clients will compose text on the fly to 505 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: play off what a person is searching for, and then 506 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: it'll whip up product images to save them time and 507 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: money on design work, So the AI will basically. 508 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: Be trying to read your thoughts. 509 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: It'll build a profile on you, it'll know what your 510 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: search history is, it'll know what you're searching for, and 511 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: will have this profile on you, and it can automatically 512 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: start serving stuff. 513 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: Up to you on the fly. And again, I mean, 514 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: I guess that's good. 515 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: Like I don't want to see ads for stuff I 516 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: don't care about. I'd rather get to what I want 517 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: faster so I can just get it and get off. 518 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: So I suppose that's good. I want the games that 519 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: technology gives me. I want to have more efficiency, right, 520 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: I want that. I just don't want the technology weaponized 521 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: against me. So I don't want it to build these 522 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: profiles and then use that information to then manipulate me, 523 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: or to change me, or to push me in a 524 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: direction they see fit. But if it can literally, you know, 525 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: help me, if it can literally make sure it's stuff 526 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: that I want to see and not stuff I don't 527 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: care about and don't want to see, If it can 528 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: help me get to my answers faster than I want that, 529 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: so it'll be good. We saw also they said that 530 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: the first AI robot has now entered the workforce. We 531 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: have the eve robot Eve robot that's been integrated as 532 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: a security guard in an Android manufacturing site. So you know, 533 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: technology can be good and bad. It really goes bad 534 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: when it's used for bad purposes, when it's used against you, 535 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: and we need to figure out ways to prevent that 536 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: from happening. We don't need to have a left and 537 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: a right CHTGPT. How about we just have one source 538 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: of information. But the problem is is that we're trying 539 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: to use AI to make informations for us as and 540 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: taking away our skill of critical thinking. If you're just 541 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: tuning in you're listening to the Mark Mass Show, we're 542 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: talking about the decentralized revolution through the lens of politics, finance, 543 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: and technology. And of course it's always technology that changes. 544 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: The world, which is why we're talking about that. 545 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: And as some of the latest breaking news headlines this week, 546 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: big changes are happening, and you know it's scary that 547 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: they're trying to create regulations to stop it. 548 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 2: But they'll only slow it down. You can't take that away. 549 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to be back with more headlines than a minute. 550 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk about what the government's doing to 551 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: manipulate your thoughts. 552 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: I'll be back with that in a more in a minute. 553 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: Don't go away, all right, Welcome back. 554 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 555 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: Mass Show.

And now AI is promising to do a 572 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: lot of good and the government wants to kind of 573 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: crack down and take away that. And it's kind of 574 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: the same story where you have these people in power 575 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: that don't want to lose power and they'll do anything 576 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: they can to maintain that power. And this week we 577 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: had some really, really really big stories. 578 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: Pop up on that. 579 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the Durham Report came out. Now, 580 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: the Durham Report is a report that we've been waiting 581 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: on for a really long time, which was a very 582 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: deep and long process of researching what was going on 583 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: with the Trump. 584 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: Russia collusion probe. It was a probe into that, it 585 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: was a report into that. It was a. 586 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: Special investigator that was assigned to this to figure out 587 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: what the heck going on was going on and it 588 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: was released and it basically confirmed everything that we already knew, 589 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: which is Obama and Hillary and the intelligence community colluded 590 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: conspiracy to create a fake Russia dossier, the Steel Report, 591 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: and then colluded to work together to use it in 592 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: coordination with the media to stop and block and even 593 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: remove the sitting active president Donald Trump. It's literally what's 594 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: called the coup. A group of people that are out Obama, 595 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: Hillary are out working with the intelligence community, the military 596 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: to oust to sitting president. 597 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: That's a coup. It's a failed coup. 598 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: Which is why they've been trying to stop it and 599 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: block it from coming out for so long. Some key 600 00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: takeaways from the Durham report show exactly what happened and 601 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: has reignited the debate about, you know, race and police 602 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: in the United States. But it said that there was 603 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: he found information to show that the police department had 604 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: engaged in a pattern and a practice of racial profile. 605 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: We found all, I mean, basically all the smoking guns 606 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: of the report, that everything that we thought was in 607 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: there was now they didn't, for some reason, recommend action, 608 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: which is interesting. 609 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 2: That they would. 610 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: Come out with this and say that everything that we 611 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: knew about Russia Gate has been confirmed, but yet we're 612 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: not going. 613 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: To do anything with it. 614 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Pretty interesting, But that would seem very interesting except that 615 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: you have to remember that this was collusion with the 616 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: intelligence and the FBI, So of course they're not going 617 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: to recommend action when they were the ones in on it. 618 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: You're not going to recommend or arrest yourself, are you? 619 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: But luckily it's not. We have a Jim Jordan, one 620 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: of the very few people that are left in government 621 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: that I think is still trying to fight for the 622 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: interests of the American people. And he's not going to 623 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: let it go away easily. He talked about ways that 624 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: he could pick up on the investigation leads from the 625 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: Durham Report. As I said, you know, heavily criticized the FBI. 626 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: It's probe into the links between you know this Donald 627 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: Trump and Russia and me. 628 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: He said, we're going to talk to our lawyers, that's 629 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: what he said. 630 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: He said, we're going to talk with the House Speaker 631 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarty and figure out where to proceed from here. 632 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: He said, nothing's off the table because it's critical the 633 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: American people understand how the government their agencies have turned 634 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: on them and the taxpayer, and they want to get 635 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: all the facts out. Yes, get all the facts out. 636 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: That's what we need. Transparency. You know, you're here all 637 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: the time. The government's fighting disinformation, misinformation, blah blah blah. 638 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: There's only so much misinformation because we're left to well, 639 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: we know we're being led in gas lit. We get 640 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: no transparency, and so we're left to let our image 641 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: nation run wild. If they want to stop that, they 642 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: have to be transparent. They have to get this out there. 643 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: Talking about that, you know, understanding this whole Russia collusion thing. 644 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: This entire thing was started just to get Trump out, 645 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: a coup, and as I said, the FBI was in 646 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: on it now part of the SBI. We saw this 647 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: week as well that there was a couple FBI whistleblowers 648 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: that came forward, and these FBI whistleblowers came forward, made 649 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: some reports and they had to go on, you know, 650 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: into committee and give testimony, and they exposed FBI corruption 651 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: and ongoing persecution of political opponents. In playing sight and 652 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: Plane and Plane speech, they accused the FBI of engaging 653 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: in highly corrupt and partisan activity during a House Judiciary committee. 654 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: So the Durham report shows us that now we have 655 00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: people inside the FBI that are literally coming out and saying, yes, 656 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: this is what's happening. 657 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: It's happening. We were there. 658 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: They voiced all types of all types of problems. And 659 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, something that Obama had run on was that 660 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: he wanted to protect whistleblowers. But now all they do 661 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: is retaliate against whistleblowers as. 662 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: A matter of fact. 663 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: Shameful Rep.

And Sanchez then said, okay, 674 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: Twitter user name Marcus A nine seven, five, six, four 675 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: or five and demanded to know whether that account belongs 676 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: to mister Allen, and mister Allen said, Uh, no, that's 677 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: absolutely not my account. 678 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 2: It doesn't have my name, that's not me. But she 679 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 2: didn't let it go. 680 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: She went on to start reading from that and uh 681 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: and read this post and she demanded that mister Allen 682 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: respond to that, and he said, look, that's not my account, 683 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: and she's and she says, you have to let me 684 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: finish the question, and so she went on to read 685 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: it and uh, He's like, look, that's not my that's 686 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: not my account. Like, I don't know what you're trying 687 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: to what you're trying to say, what you're trying to do. 688 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: That's like, not my account. 689 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: So she was basically taking some random account that said 690 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: some random thing and say that he said it, even 691 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: though he's saying, look, that wasn't me. Now, these FBI 692 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: informants were not some right wing some no you know, 693 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: no name informants. 694 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 2: These were decorated officials. 695 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: They had been received, you know, recommendations, they had been receiving, 696 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, one of them was like Agent of the 697 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: Year or whatever at his post.

Now, on 700 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: top of all that we have, as all this is happening, 701 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: we have reports where now the Democrats want to back 702 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: a new bill for a new federal agency because we 703 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: don't have enough.
