1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed they're seemingly growing divide in the country, 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: a divide that's not just over politics but ideologies. But 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: is the country really split? Is it really split down 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: the middle? Well, let's take a look at who are 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: the people on each side of this seemingly split that 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: we all see and feel, but we don't really understand. 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 1: Who are the people on each side, what are their views, 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: how do they vote? And what can we learn about 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: this as we try to navigate this. Now, in this episode, 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna break down the difference between the one percent 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: and the ninety nine percent. Who makes up who are 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: the one percent? How their views differ. We're going to 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: look at the polls. We're going to look at the 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: actual data of what their views differ, and surprise, it 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: is very shocking. I was a shocked. We're gonna look 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: at the views how they differ from the nine percent. 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: Why it seems like it's half the country but it's not. 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna look at the data behind that, and we're 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna look at the historical precedence that we can learn 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: as we all navigate through this. Now, if you're just 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, we 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: delve into the intricate world of politics, finance, and technology, 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: really looking for the sweet spot where they connected. Today, 24 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: we're going to explain what is going on with this 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: seeming divide that we have, how it really divides so 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: we can navigate it, and let's just get going. I'm 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: calling this the elite one percent versus the People. Now, 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: first of all, let me just say I've been trying 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: to reject that word elite, and the reason why I 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: reject that word is because I don't believe they are elite. Well, 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: let me just say I wouldn't hire pretty much any 32 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: of those people to run my business. Now, if I 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: was trying to figure out how to get some political goodwill, 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: some political grifts, some political donations, sure I would certainly 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: hire them. So I suppose in the world of grifting, 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: in the world of fundraising and washing each other's backs, 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: I suppose they're pretty elite in that. But I'm trying 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: to sort of get that word out of my vocabulary. 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: But we're talking about today. We talk about the one 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: percent versus the people, but I'm not talking specifically about 41 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: the one percent in terms of income like we would 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: normally talk about it today, we're going to look at 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: it from a handful of metrics. We're going to lay 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: out what these metrics are. Now. There was a poll 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: that I got most of this data from, and it's 46 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: from Rasmussen. You've probably heard about the Rasmussen political polls 47 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: they've done. You know, they've been doing American sort of 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: political polls for a long time. I think they were 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: founded in two thousand and three. They do two weekly 50 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: national surveys, so they're surveying all the time, so they're 51 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: getting the reason why I like this is in a business, 52 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: the way I run my business, the way you should 53 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: run your business. You've probably maybe heard of the term 54 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: key performance indicators KPIs. It's sort of like putting your 55 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: finger on the pulse of your business. And the way 56 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: they run these polls is sort of similar because they're 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: doing them every single week, twice a week, and they're 58 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: sort of getting the play by play, so as things 59 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: change in the market, as things change in politics, to 60 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: the news, et cetera, you can see this reflected through 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: the polls. It's really good. And what we're talking about 62 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: today is the Rasmussen reports have noticed a big difference. 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: What they've noticed is an anomaly. Right, So they look 64 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: at lots of data. When you start collecting data like 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: on your business, for example, a lot of times that 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: data doesn't really mean anything to you, but when you 67 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: look at it over long periods of time, it starts 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: to tell you things. And specifically you see things starting 69 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: to shape change and stand out anomaly, so to speak. 70 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: And so they noticed this anomaly. And what they notice 71 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: is that out of every one thousand or so respondents, 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: there would always be three to four who were far 73 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: more radical than everybody else. So these the outliers out 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: of one thousand, three to four back to the one percent, right, 75 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: So every one thousand, they're three or four that were, 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: like I said, way more radical than anything else. And 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: so what happened is after seeing this data change, after 78 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: several months, after finding these seemingly, you know, unusual responses, 79 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Rasmussen realized that they all shared three characteristics, right, really 80 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: maybe four, but we're going to look at three characteristics 81 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: that they shared. And so what they did, because they're 82 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: a polling data analytics company, they aggregated all the responses 83 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: for more than twenty surveys, and he realized these people 84 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: made up a very unique elite one percent, all right, 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to look at. We're going 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: to dive into that. So first of all, who are they. 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: Let's just talk about that, and then we'll look at 88 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: the views, we'll look at how this affects us and 89 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: how we navigate it. But who are the elite? So, 90 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: per all these reports, all this data he's pulled, there 91 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: are people who have post graduate degrees right now, not 92 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: just graduate studies, but post graduate degree. So they're the 93 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: elite of the elite. They're the extra educated, if you will. 94 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: They have family incomes that are above one hundred and 95 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year, so you know, getting close, 96 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: not in the one percent of income, but they're certainly affluent, 97 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: let's just call it that. So they came from good families, 98 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: they went to colleges, we'll talk about the collegees they 99 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: went to, and they have postgraduate degrees. Also, they lived 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: in large cities more than ten thousand people per zip code. 101 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: And so I'm sure you've probably seen like a picture 102 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: of the map or a map of the United States 103 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: and it's like almost all red and then you see 104 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: the blue is all concentrated around the cities and this 105 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of back set up, so they all lived in 106 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: large cities. More than ten thousand people were zip code. 107 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: The elite one percent are surprisingly young. Sixty seven percent 108 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: are between thirty five and fifty years old. The reason 109 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: why we'll get back to this when we talk about 110 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: the actual colleges, they came from the Dirty dozen, we'll 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: call it that. However, it's because we've had a massive 112 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: shift in our education system, and that's why they're predominantly 113 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: so much younger. The people older than that learned under 114 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: a whole different education system with a whole different ideology, 115 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: I would say, with real facts and history. Let's just 116 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: say that they were taught different things. So sixty seven 117 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: percent between thirty five and fifty four. Eighty six percent 118 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: are white, forty seven percent favor like Bernie Sanders socialist policies, 119 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: seventy three percent are Democrats. Now, the gap between the 120 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: elite one percent and the rest of America is startling. 121 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: All right, We're going to dig into that specifically, because 122 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: when you see the way that they view the world, 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the way that they look at government and the laws 124 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: and regulations and the way they want to manage things, 125 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: it's very shocking. But let's just dig into a couple 126 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: of these things for a minute. So first of all, 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: they postgraduate degree. Like I said, they're younger, and so 128 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: we can see how that changed. Now we're going to 129 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: talk about the importance of why that matters. Because these 130 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 1: people with these high level degrees coming from these certain 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: colleges we'll talk about the twelve colleges have gone into 132 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: certain types of jobs. That's a big deal, right, But 133 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: it also has to do with the types of jobs 134 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: that they have. So the education have led them to 135 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: a certain type of job, but it also puts them 136 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: into a different mindset. And so when you live in 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: these large cities and you went to these colleges and 138 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: you have these types of jobs, you just think differently 139 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: then you do in what we would call the flyover states. 140 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: So when you're in Kansas or Iowa, or you know, Michigan, 141 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: or you know you're working on the farm, or you're 142 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: out in you know, Montana or Idaho, you're living in nature, 143 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: you just see things differently. You're much more grounded, right, 144 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: You understand the world from a rational lens when you're 145 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: in nature, when you work with your hands, when you 146 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: work for a living, and you just get the way 147 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the world works, like, for example, you have to produce 148 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: before you consume. You see, most of these people don't 149 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: really understand that. Right they they're in New York City, 150 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: they're in they're in their hedge fund in Wall Street, 151 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: for example, they take their helicopter out to the country 152 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: for the weekend. They look at they look out over 153 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: this beautiful land that they have and think, oh my gosh, 154 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: this is so pristine, it's so beautiful. We should protect 155 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: this for forever, which is not a bad idea. But 156 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: in order to do that, we should just shut down 157 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: all the energy. We shouldn't get energy in the US 158 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: anymore because we want to preserve this. But they don't understand. 159 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: They're so far removed. They don't understand how that all 160 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: worked out. How did they even get their beautiful condo 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: or house in New York, How did they make all 162 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: that money? What went into that? Like real businesses that 163 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: use energy to grow allowed them to build their wealth. 164 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: They don't understand it because they're so far removed. It 165 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: really comes down to this fourth turning. Right, you've heard 166 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: me references before, maybe we've read the book. The fourth 167 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: turning really it's generational theory, and generational theory is basically 168 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: four generations. So fore turning is eighty years four twenty 169 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: year cycles, and it's basically hard times create strong men. 170 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: That was my grandfather. He grew up on a farm, 171 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: the hardest times. He was the hardest man my father. 172 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: Then hard men create great great men. Great men create 173 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: great times. My father grew up under that very hard 174 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: work on the farm, but he left the farm. Those 175 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: great times create weak men, and then week men create 176 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: bad times. And so then you know, I hate to 177 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: say it, but then you know, I don't work as 178 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: hard as my dad. I work very hard as far 179 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: as my effort and my time commitment, but not as 180 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: hard physically as my dad did. And now the fourth generation, 181 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: my kids, they're not quite sure what work is. And 182 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: so we can see how this changes. And that's sort 183 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: of where we are with these elite at this stage 184 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: in the game. Now, I want to break down, like 185 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: I said, the actual data of how they vote, because 186 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: I was completely shocked and you're going to be shocked 187 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: as well. We're going to break that down. We're going 188 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: to look at how this affects all these institutions that 189 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: are sort of driving and shaping our narrative and why 190 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: it seems so overwhelming and how we navigate all of this. 191 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: But you know, one of the ways that we can 192 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: do this is by protecting our wealth. Wealth gives us options, right, 193 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: and when they're continually debasing the money, they're eroting your wealth. 194 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: Even if you save that money in the bank, you're 195 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: losing your wealth that way. Now, I'm going to come 196 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: back with the way these people vote and the numbers 197 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: are going to shock you. I'll be back with more 198 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: in a minute. You're listening to the Mark Maas Show. 199 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: Don't go away, I'll bear back. All right, welcome back, 200 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: if you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 201 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: Maas Show. We're talking about the one percent, the elite 202 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: one percent versus the people. Now we broke down who 203 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: they are, like the demographics, what the age they are, 204 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: where they live, how much income they have and so forth. 205 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about now about the data of the gap. 206 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: All right, So, as we kind of framed up before. 207 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: Rasmussen Polls, which runs data a couple times a week. 208 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: They send out these data and they collect all this data. 209 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: They did a national survey of only people with those characteristics. So, 210 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: as I said before, as they do these polls, they 211 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: found these anomalies. Three to four people out of every 212 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: one thousand had this very radical, very different viewpoint. So 213 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: then what they decided to do is take that group 214 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: of people and only pull them versus pulling the other 215 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: people without them, so sort of splitting the group and 216 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: pulling them separately as opposed to aggregating the data. And 217 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: they found some astonishing results. Let's talk about a couple 218 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: of those. When all the others, so we'll say there's 219 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: the one percent and there's the others. When all the 220 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: others gave President Joe Biden, or actually, when we look 221 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: at all of the voters gave President Joe Biden a 222 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: forty one percent job approval, it's not that now it's 223 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: much lower. But at the time side note, President Joe 224 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Biden had a forty one percent job approval. The elite 225 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: one percent rated him at an eighty two percent approval. 226 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: It's a pretty big difference. It's one hundred percent difference. 227 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. Why is there such 228 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: a disparity between those numbers? How can we be living 229 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: in two different worlds at the same time. Certainly it's 230 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: because you know, one group of people, the majority of 231 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: people don't trust mainstream media. We're gonna come back to that, 232 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: and they're watching alternative news sources, and the other group 233 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: is just watching you know, every TV in their houses 234 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: on CNN, potentially you're watching two sets of news, and 235 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: so we're seeing that. But it's more than that. As 236 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I already kind of went through. We went to different schools, 237 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: we came from different families, we live in different places. 238 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: We're going to break that down a little bit more. 239 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: But let's get back into the data, because it gets worse. 240 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Fifty seven percent of all the voters when we look 241 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: at the voter base together, fifty seven percent of all 242 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: voters say there's not enough individual freedom in America. What 243 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: would you say, do you think there's more freedom in America? 244 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: Do you think that individual freedom is getting better or 245 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: getting worse? Do you think individual freedoms around the world 246 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: is getting better or worse? Are we seeing the rise 247 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: of authoritarianism more control? It looks like every time I 248 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: turn around, they want to micro manage the minutia. Here 249 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: in California, for example, this Scott Wiener who's putting through 250 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: every draconian law you could ever imagine. I want to 251 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: tell you, I mean that they control your kids, how 252 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: they control them. He just put a bill forward that 253 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,479 Speaker 1: wants to make a law in California where auto manufacturers 254 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: are no longer able to sell cars in the state 255 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: that go more than eighty miles an hour. Now, we 256 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: already have speed limit laws, but no, that's not enough. 257 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: He wants to micromanage the details of your life so 258 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: much that your car can't even go over that. And 259 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: think about this, auto manufacturers now have to make a 260 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: completely different car just to be sold in that state. 261 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: So anyway, back to the individual. Fifty seven percent of 262 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: voters say there is not enough individual freedom in America. However, 263 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the elite one percent say there's too much. 264 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: Sixty percent say there's not enough. Seventy percent of the 265 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: one percent say there's not there's too much freedom. Do 266 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: you think there's too much freedom? I guess you can 267 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: figure out. Are you on the elite one percent or 268 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: you do you side with the regular people? Based off 269 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: of some of this, but it gets worse, let's keep going. 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: Ninety three percent of average Americans reject cheating and will 271 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: accept defeat in an honest election. Right. I remember this 272 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: when the whole Trump Biden thing went down. I'm like, look, man, 273 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: this is pretty easy. We don't need all kinds of 274 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: new technology. All we need is just like, why not 275 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: have a Republican a Democrat both in the room, both 276 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: look at the counts. Maybe we live stream it over YouTube, 277 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: and if you know, one of them fairly won, they won, 278 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: and that's what the people want, and then let's just 279 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: accept that. And basically that's what this pool says. Ninety 280 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: three percent of Americans reject cheating and would accept defeat 281 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: in an honest election. Only seven percent reported that they 282 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: would cheat. Seven percent of the average Americans, however, sixty 283 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: nine percent, sixty nine percent, twenty percent of the elite 284 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: one percent would rather cheat than lose a close election. 285 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: What is this world that we've grown up in? How 286 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: could we be so different? I mean, I will just 287 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: think everybody would reject cheating. Ninety three percent do seventy 288 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: percent of the elite one percent would rather cheat than 289 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: lose an election. Let's keep going. Six percent of most 290 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: voters have a very favorable favorable opinion of members of Congress. 291 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: Six percent. That's extremely low. Most people do not look 292 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: favorably on the leadership. They understand how corrupt Congress is 293 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: and they don't like it. However, sixty nine percent of 294 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: the one percent have a very favorable view. I mean, 295 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: it's almost unimaginable. How can they look at the at 296 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: Congress and say, oh, sure the inside of trading is okay. 297 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: Sure Nancy Pelosi is the best investor in the world. 298 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Sure they all beat the hedge funds. Yes, how can 299 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: they see that? We hardly because they're made up of 300 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: that class. Six percent are unfavorable. Seventy percent of the 301 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: one percent are favorable. Ten percent of all voters have 302 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: a favorable view of journalists. Ten percent means ninety percent don't. 303 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Ninety percent do not have a favorable view of journalists 304 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: because they've lost our trust. They're constantly lying, they're constantly manipulating, 305 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: they're constantly omitting the truth. Things like that. Ninety percent 306 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: of voters view them unfavorable. However, seventy one percent of 307 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: the one percent voters view them as favorable. What like, 308 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: how can this be? Ninety percent think they're unfavorable, seventy 309 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: one percent think they are favorable. I mean, the disparity 310 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: is amazing. Let's just keep going down to illustrate the 311 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: scale of this gap. Look at a couple other issues. 312 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: So those were more about like do we trust our leadership? 313 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: Do we trust their media? But let's look at some 314 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: of the issues that have been sort of shoved down 315 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: our throats over and over and over again. Now this 316 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: is all going to be from the one percent, and 317 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: this is all around climate issues. So from the one percent. 318 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: On climate issues, seventy seven percent of the one percent 319 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: would like to impose strict restrictions and rationing on the 320 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: private use of gas, meat, and electricity. Seventy seven percent 321 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: of the one percent think that you have to be 322 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: controlled and you should be rationed on how much gas 323 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: you can put in your car, so how much you 324 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: could drive, how much meat you're allowed to eat, how 325 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: much electricity you can use up? No more video games, 326 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: no more Netflix for you. Seventy two percent favor banning 327 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: gas powered vehicles. Yeah cool for them. They're rich. They 328 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: can afford that expensive tesla. What about you, Oh well, 329 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: you can't afford it, so you can walk and ride 330 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: the bus. Now that's how to touch They are sixty 331 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: nine percent of the one percent elite favor banning gas stoves. Again, 332 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: they're so out of touch. They live in the cities. 333 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: They're in their high rise condo, you know, a million 334 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: dollar condo. I'm sure they can cook on electric stove whatever, 335 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: But what about you in your house? Gas is cheaper. 336 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: People use gas to cook food. And regardless of what 337 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: you want to use, how can they be in favor 338 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: of micromanaging how you cook your food? And is that 339 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: more freedom? Fifty eight percent of the one percent favor 340 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: of banning sport utility vehicles SUVs fifty eight percent, almost 341 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: sixty percent want to ban what type of or tell 342 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: you what type of car you can drive. My wife 343 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: drives an suv. We have kids, she drives other kids, 344 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: my kid's friends. She drives them to soccer games and 345 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: things like that, like well they don't play soccer, but 346 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: sporting events and school events and things like that. And 347 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: they want to say that they can't drive that. Now, 348 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: think about the knock on effects of this. So we 349 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: can't drive an suv. So now instead of my wife 350 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: driving a bunch of kids to this event, than everyone 351 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: has to drive their own car. Does that backfire? Have 352 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: they thought through second, third, fourth order? Now if you're 353 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: just tuning in. You're listening to the Mark Mas Show. 354 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: We're talking about the difference between the one percent and 355 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: the rest the ninety nine percent. We're talking about some 356 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: of the data behind the difference, and I want to 357 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: get to how do we get here and more importantly, 358 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: how do we navigate all of this. I'm going to 359 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: go live next week talking about this. Check it out, 360 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: go dot one, Markmoss dot com, slash u turn, go 361 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: dot one, Markmoss dot com, slash u turn. But I 362 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: got a whole lot more to cover when I come back. 363 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: You do not want to miss this. We'll talk about 364 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: what we're going to do about this. I'll be back 365 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: with more a minute. Don't go away, all right, welcome back. 366 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 367 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: More Show. I'm running through some of the data between 368 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: the difference in ideology and thinking between the one percent, 369 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: elite one percent, and the rest of us, the ninety 370 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: nine percent. So I was talking about really the most 371 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: shocking stat was the elite one percent think we have 372 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: way too much freedom and the rest of us don't. 373 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: And I was running through some of the stats about 374 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: some of their viewpoints and it's shocking. Seventy percent favor 375 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: banning gastows they want to tell you how you can 376 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: cook your food, or fifty eight percent favor banning SUVs. 377 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: And I was talking about second, third, fourth, fifth order. 378 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: So why would they want to ban an suv? Okay, 379 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: they say it's bad for the environment, too much CO 380 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: two or something like that. Okay, great, So instead of 381 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: my wife being able to drive three or four kids 382 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: or five kids in the car to go to the 383 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: tennis match like my daughter plays tennis, now those four 384 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: or five families off to drive separately. So now instead 385 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: of one car driving, we have four or five cars. 386 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. Does that backfire? Does that work? 387 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: If they really thought through these issues, my guess is no. 388 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: And this it gets worse. Fifty five percent of the 389 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: one percent are in favor of banning what they call 390 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: non essential air travel. Over half of the people in 391 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: the one percent want to ban you from flying. You 392 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to go travel. You shouldn't be able 393 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: to go see your grandmother. You shouldn't be allowed to 394 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: go vacation in Mexico or Hawaii. You shouldn't be able 395 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: to go skiing or whatever. It is that you're doing. 396 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: Go to a conf Now they want to ban what 397 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: they call non essential, but what's essential? Who gets to 398 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: choose what's essential? Now? We saw how that played out 399 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: during the pandemic, when they close what they considered non 400 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: essential businesses. Well, if that business paid for myself and 401 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: my family, it's pretty dang essential. But they said it wasn't. 402 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: So that vacation might be essential to my mental health, 403 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: that vacation might be essential for my family to have 404 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: good bonding and build memories so we raise better kids. 405 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: That travel might be essential because I'm going to go 406 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: help a nonprofit or go do some mission work or 407 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: serving opportunities. I mean, I could lay out a million 408 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: reasons why it may be essential to me, but not 409 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: to whoever gets to choose this. But the fact that 410 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: fifty five percent are in favor of taking away your 411 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: freedom of choice is just beyond me. Fifty three percent 412 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: favor banning private air conditioning? How dare you? How dare 413 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: you be cool? I can't even believe this is I 414 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: read it. Fifty three percent in favor of banning private 415 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: air conditioning. Now, in contrast to this, the ideas, These 416 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: ideas are opposed by the nine and nund percent between 417 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read through all of them. Between 418 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: sixty three percent to eighty three percent oppose all these ideas. 419 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: So of the one percent, sixty to eighty percent want 420 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: to ban all this, your air travel, your ability to 421 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: buy gas, your ability to put SUVs. The ability to 422 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: try all that. But on the other side of the 423 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: ninety percent, sixty three to eighty percent are opposed to 424 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: these How did we get here? Like, what the heck 425 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: is the difference in this? And again it comes down 426 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: to where they went to school, what they were taught. Obviously, 427 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest piece. Where they were raised, 428 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: what kind of families they were in, and where they live, right, 429 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: those are the things. And they think that this represents 430 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: all the voters, but a dozen't right. The one percent 431 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: are living in an echo chamber, okay. And echo chamber 432 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: is basically when you just talk to the same people. 433 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: It's sort of like I when I go to bigcoin conferences, 434 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: it's like I'm talking to the echo chamber, Like everybody 435 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: here's already a bit winner. But they not only grew 436 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: up in an echo chamber, but they continue to live 437 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: in an echo chamber. So they're not aware of how 438 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: the rest of the world works. All right. So for example, 439 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: we already talked about where they came from. Let's talk 440 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: about that a little bit more detail. So the one 441 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: percent went to the dirty dozen. So they went to 442 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: one of twelve colleges Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, 443 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: John Hopkins, Columbia, Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, Cornell, MIT, and the 444 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: University of Chicago. Huh. So they learned what they know 445 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: from this. Now, this is part of the reason why, 446 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times when we're talking about 447 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: certain types of freedom type of issues, a lot of 448 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: times I might use the word they, and people always 449 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: are always saying, well, who are they? Who are they? 450 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: Who are they? Like there's some you know, one person 451 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: or a small group of people that sort of pull 452 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: the strings for the whole world. I know, maybe a 453 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: lot of you think that, like there's one group of 454 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: people it's the Rothschild's or it's you know, the bankers 455 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: at the BIS and this smoke of people really pull 456 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: the strings for everything. And I just have never believed 457 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: that to be true. First of all, they're not that elite, 458 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: They're not smart enough to be able to organize the 459 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: whole world by that small group. What it is is 460 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: it sort of like birds of a feather flock together. 461 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: So I kind of use an analogy sort of like 462 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: if you had a bunch of birds flying and you 463 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: see them up in the sky, right and they have 464 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: like this v formation. It wasn't like they all had 465 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: met ahead of time and said, hey, Larry, you take 466 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: that row and the seventh seventh position back and Bob, 467 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: you're on the right side in the thirteenth position. They 468 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: didn't make any grand plan. They just all started flying 469 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: together and they all just sort of start to move together. 470 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: It's basically what terrorism is. Right. One of the reasons 471 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: why the US is and never beody able to win 472 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: the war on terrorism, nor will they ever be able to, 473 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: is because there's no head on the snake, if you will. 474 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: There's no one central, central authority that they could get 475 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: rid of and then disband terrorism. Instead, it's all different sales, 476 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: all different groups of people who are all driven by ideology. 477 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: They all want death to America. They don't have an 478 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: organized plan, they're not working together. There's no central leader leadership. 479 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: They just have a shared ideology and that's basically what 480 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: these elites are. They have a shared ideology, they went 481 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: to the same schools, and they were all taught the 482 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: same thing. So it's not that there's one cent in 483 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: my opinion, and now that there's one group of people 484 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: that are pulling the strings of everything. It's they're all 485 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: birds of a feather and they're all flocking together. They 486 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: all learn the same thing, they all share the same ideology, 487 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: and they all just are sort of moving in the 488 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: same direction because they believe the same thing, and they're 489 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: sort of moving off of each other's all right. So, 490 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: for example, Columbia, I did a video on my main 491 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: YouTube channel, Mark Moss, and I think the title was 492 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: the real reason for the migrant crisis at the border 493 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: or the invasion of the United States or something about that, 494 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: and I was basically breaking down how not just the US. 495 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Obviously we have a massive invasion problem, calling it that 496 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: on the southern border, over three hundred thousand people are 497 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: coming across the border unchecked per month. But I was 498 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: also talking about what's happening in Europe. You know, Italy 499 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: is being invaded and so forth. But I was talking 500 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: about it specifically because in that video, I broke down 501 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: something called the Cloward pivots strategy, and the cloud pivot 502 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: strategy is basically the strategy of what they're using to 503 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: cause this immigration. If you want, you should go watch 504 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: that video. And basically the premise of this cloud pivot 505 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: strategy is that is to overwhelm the system, call the 506 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: nation's bluff. So because the US is willing to give 507 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: welfare for example, well let's one depress the economy so 508 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: more and more people have to go on the government welfare, 509 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, whatever you want to call that, all types 510 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: of programs, and let's bring in at this point when 511 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: are we up to nine million immigrants and put them 512 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: onto the system as well, so we'll over tax the 513 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: system and collapse it. Now that Cloward pivot strategy was 514 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: taught at Columbia. To Columbia, Well, it turns out lots 515 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: of very important politicians went to Columbia. Barack Obama went 516 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: to Colombia. The previous Attorney General, Bill Barr went to Colombia. 517 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: I think the current Attorney general went to Columbia. Secretary 518 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: of State Blncoln went to Columbia. So all these people 519 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: went there and they all learned this. So who are they? Well, 520 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: I guess you could say who are they would be 521 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: the teachers that taught this. Let's keep going, all right. 522 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: Charles Murray in his classic work called Coming Apart, he 523 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: analyzed zip codes and he proved that graduates from these 524 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: dirty dozen universities that Rasmussen described live, work, and play 525 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: in the same zip codes. Right, So they're isolated. They're 526 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: in this echo chamber. They live in these echo chambers. 527 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: They only work with other people of them just like that. 528 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: And they really created this kind of power aristocracy, if 529 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: you will. They have no knowledge of how the rest 530 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: of us live in work, and that breeds contempt. Now 531 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: they have contempt for most, you know, for the nine 532 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: which sort of explains Hillary Clinton's basket of Deplorable's line 533 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: right now. In Rasmussen's identification of the elite one percent, 534 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: it begins to explain the depth of the tension between 535 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: most Americans and the tiny group of elitists who control 536 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: what Vladimir Lenin called the commanding heights. What does that mean? 537 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: The commanding heights? It's the elements of power which control 538 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: the rest. All right, So we're going to talk about this. 539 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to come back if you're tune and you're 540 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Mass Show. We're always talking about 541 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the way the world is changing, and we look at 542 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Now in 543 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: the world of finance, I'm doing a live presentation next 544 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: week to break down how this is gonna affect our money, 545 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: our retirement and more. If you want to check that out, 546 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: go to go dot one, Markmoss dot com, slash U 547 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: turn Go dot one, Markmoss dot com slash u turn. 548 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: When we come back after a very quick break, I'm 549 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: going to talk about why it seems like the country's 550 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: divide in half, but really it's not, and how we 551 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: navigate this. I'll be back with more a minute. Don't 552 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: go away, We're back, all right, Welcome back. If you 553 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Mass Show. 554 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: We're talking about how the world is changing and how 555 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: it seems like the world is divided. And we have 556 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: these two ideological camps. And what I'm doing is one, 557 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: we broke down the actual data, the actual issues and 558 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: the data behind it to show you, yes, how divided 559 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: the world really is. But what we want to look 560 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: at now is that it's not divided down the middle. 561 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: It's not that you know not to get into it. 562 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: But it's not that Trump and Biden got almost the 563 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: exact amount of votes by just a couple left or right. 564 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: It's not that the country is not divided down the middle. 565 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's broken down to one 566 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: percent and ninety nine percent. We gave you the data. 567 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: Now why does it seem like it's split down the middle. Well, 568 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: like I said, if you look at a map of 569 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: the United States, you can see the whole thing is red. 570 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: The big cities have blue, and of course they're higher density, 571 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: so we have that. But more specifically, it's because of 572 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: what I just said right before the break, which is 573 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: what Vladimir Lenin had called the commanding heights. So what 574 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: the elite has done, the one percent elites have taken 575 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: control of these commanding heights, and this is how they 576 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: hang under power. Right, So they dominate the universities. They're 577 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: the ones that have the universities. They're the ones that 578 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: are teaching the next generation, your kids whatever they taught 579 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: you and your kids. Right. So, because you see it 580 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: in the university and they have this position of power, 581 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: if you will, being a professor, you feel like it's 582 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: more prevalent than it is. They control the news media, 583 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: so they're controlling what you see on TV, on CNN, CNBC, ABC. 584 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: They control what you're reading, you know, Washington Times or 585 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: Washington Post or LA Times, for example. They control the judiciary, 586 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: so they've taken over the judges and the legal side 587 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 1: we call it lawfare now, intelligence agencies, giant foundations, and 588 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: most major corporations. So these elite were trained at the 589 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: best colleges and they went and got the best jobs, 590 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: and so they have an abnormal amount of control over 591 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: the the core things that we sort of see back 592 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: to the commanding heights, if you will. Although they are few, 593 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: there are relatively few people, but you know, then they 594 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: marry each other, and then their children go to the 595 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: same schools, and then they hire and they promote each other. 596 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: So that's how that works. Now, once they've gotten control 597 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: of the education system, then they continue to push those 598 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: narratives down and they teach your kids to hate you 599 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: and to hate their country and to think that we 600 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: have too much freedom, and that's the problem. And if 601 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: we only took everyone's freedom away, if we only took 602 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: away their ability to do buy gas and travel and 603 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: meet and all those things. If only we did that, 604 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: then maybe we'd have a better world somehow. As I said, 605 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: they all favor Bernie Sanders' socialist policies, and then they 606 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: take control over media, and then they constantly gaslight us 607 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: and lie to us, over and over and over. We 608 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: can see it no matter where we look. Just last night, 609 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel probably you know who he is, late night 610 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: talk show host. I don't watch him, but apparently some 611 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: people do. He suggests said that it was a crazy 612 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory to believe that Joe Biden might be suffering 613 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: from dementia. That's what he said. He said quote. So 614 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: let me get this straight. The same people who believe 615 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has dementia and needs Kamala Harris to feed 616 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: him butterscotch tapioca every night also believe that he has 617 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: somehow planned and executed a diabolically brilliant scheme to fix 618 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs so the biggest pop star in the 619 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: world could pop up on the JumboTron during the Super 620 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: Bowl during a Kia and a Tostito's commercial to hypnotize 621 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: her eleven year old fans and devoting for Joe Biden. 622 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: But you see what he's doing. He's taking a couple 623 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: of things and twisting around is what we call gaslde 624 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: and to make it seem unbelievable, the same people who 625 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: believe Joe Biden has dementia think he's also plotting a 626 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: diabuckle plan. No, those two things don't have to be 627 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: true at the same time. Now, let's look at some 628 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: of the data. Okay, per a CNN pull, I didn't 629 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: pull a Fox Bowl. I pulled a CNN pull. Per 630 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 1: a CNN poll released last year, they found that fifty 631 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: six percent of Democrats and seventy three percent of Americans 632 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: are seriously concerned about Biden's mental competence. Everybody in the 633 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: world knows this. This last summer, I spent a month 634 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: going through Europe with my family. We did a couple 635 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: of weeks in Italy and Greece. We went over to Egypt, 636 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: and as we traveled around, I like to talk to people. 637 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: I like to get their viewpoint, I like to get 638 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: the boots on the ground information. And pretty much every 639 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: single person I talked to, and again this is antidotal, 640 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: because I didn't talk to millions of people, or even 641 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people. But I talked to a 642 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of people, and every single one when I even 643 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Biden's name, because I said, you know, what do 644 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: you think about the dollar? What do you think about 645 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: the monetary system? You know, what do you think about politics? 646 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: Things like that? Every single one laughed when bringing up Biden. 647 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it's why. It's why Putin has challenged Biden 648 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: to a debate, That's why Trump has challenged Biden to debates. 649 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: Why why Biden won't go to a debate? Right, everybody 650 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: knows this, Even the C and M puls fifty six 651 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats, seventy three percent of America and say 652 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: that they're seriously concerned. But here Jimmy Kimmel is going, Aha, 653 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: those same people, they don't know what they're talking about, right, 654 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: and then he throws shade on the whole like Kamala 655 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: Harris Joe Biden thing. But then we saw this week 656 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: as well, James O'Keeffe, he got his disguise on, he 657 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: sat down with a top White House cyber official and 658 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: they told him, quote, they can't say it publicly, but 659 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: the White House wants to replace Kamala Harris and confirms 660 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden has mental decline. Right, it's all on video. 661 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: You can see this video. So like we know this, 662 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: we see it, like you don't have to be a 663 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: genius for this. But yet the elites, the elite one percent, 664 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: are using their position of power to gas it us. 665 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: Now we see this all over. There's no border crisis, 666 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: even as three hundred, three hundred fifty thousand people are 667 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: coming across the border. I think there was ten retired 668 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: FBI and intelligent analysts wrote a letter, I think in 669 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: the last week or so to Congress saying that you 670 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: cannot overstate the danger that has been caused by having 671 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: this open border. Like everybody sees it. Right, we have 672 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: avoy going down there right now. It's all over. But 673 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: yet they're telling us there's snowboarder crisis, even if there is. 674 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is on it. But that's not the case. 675 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris boasted in El Paso that the administration has 676 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: made quote extreme progress over these last few months. It's extreme, 677 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: all right, it's not progress. Well, it's not progress in 678 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: the way that would fix it. Right, We've been told 679 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: all these things we've been told, you know, the pandemic 680 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: was caused by an animal in a wet lab or 681 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: a wet market. When we found out, we all kind 682 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: of knew all along that it was came out of 683 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: a lab. And now, of course that's all been documented 684 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: and so over and over and over we can see this. 685 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: But really where it's most evidenced is in the definition 686 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: of democracy. You see, all of this is being done 687 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: to save democracy. If the people get their will, that 688 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: that's a threat to democracy. If you're allowed to vote 689 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: for the candidate you want and that candidate just happens 690 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: to be not them, if it just happens to be 691 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: Trump or anybody else probably for that matter, that's a 692 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: threat to democracy. I guess they think that democracy means 693 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: it's democrats in part and in rule. We've kind of 694 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: grown up to believe democracy is sort of like the 695 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: will of the people, where like mo rule, where we 696 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: take a vote and whoever the most of the vote, 697 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: whoever gets the most votes wins. That's not the definition 698 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: they use democracy buy and for the elites. Old author 699 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: Tuckerville predicted that an immense and tulitary power would replace 700 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: genuine popular rule, and that's about it. We can see 701 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: today that only fifteen percent of the American population approves 702 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: of Congress, only fifteen percent. So are they governing for 703 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: the people? Are they doing what the will of the 704 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: people want? Now? I know, I know a lot of 705 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 1: you are going to say this. The US isn't isn't 706 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: a democracy. The US is a is a constitutional republic. 707 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: I get it right, I said, the elitian is all 708 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: on my life growing up. My point is they're saying 709 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: that we have to protect democracy, but their word democracy 710 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: no longer indicates much about popular rule. It basically refers 711 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: to a hypothetic goal that gives those who invoke gets 712 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: mandate to do basically whatever they want, even when it's 713 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: the opposite of what the people desire, which is why 714 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: Congress only has fifteen percent approval rating. We can see 715 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: this over and over and over, but it's not the case. 716 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to go into a couple other things. I'm 717 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: running out of time here. Just today I saw on Twitter. Rep. 718 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: Il han Omar, you might know who she is. She 719 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: is attacking El Salvador, saying that she's urging members of 720 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: Congress to take action on threats to democracy in l 721 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: Salvador now in l Salvador, they have a massive voting 722 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: base that ninety percent of the population of El Salvador 723 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: approve of the president's leadership. Ninety percent approve, whereas in 724 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: the United States fifteen percent approve. So which one is 725 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: more democratic? The President of El Salvador fired back on Twitter. 726 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: He said, we are honored to receive your attacks just 727 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: days before our election. I would be very worried if 728 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: we had your support. He's a savage. You're not following 729 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: them on social media? You definitely should. But if you're 730 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: just tuning in listening to the Mark Mash Show breaking 731 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: down the data between the divide and just let you 732 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: know it's not as dark as it seems. The population 733 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: is not split down the middle. It's one percent versus 734 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: the ninety nine. All right, At the end of the day, 735 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: we are going to win. We have the masses. We 736 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 1: just have to speak up. We need to have a voice. 737 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: You need to have money, I need to have influence. 738 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: That's what I got today. Thanks so much for listening. 739 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: Until next time,
