WEBVTT - The Mark Moss Show 2-16-24

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>When Wara's peace and everything we know is backwards, how

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>do we even know what truth is?

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, they say that history is written by the victor.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>It sort of means that whoever tells you the story

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>can give you whatever definition of that story that they want. However,

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in between both sides of the story lies the truth.

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And I want to get to that. And I think

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>if you open your mind, you think about things critically,

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you can start to see that I'm talking about what

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>just happened down in South America that is a shining

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>example to the entire world of exactly what could happen

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>with almost a snap of a finger if we so wanted.

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>What am I talking about exactly? We're talking about President

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Bukeley of El Salvador, who was just re elected as

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 1>president with overwhelming numbers. And when I say overwhelming numbers,

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean overwhelming numbers. Let's just put this into perspective.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>We're going into an election cycle here in the United States.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>We have president, the current president, Joe Biden, with less

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>than a thirty percent approval rate in less than thirty

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>percent of the people like the president, which I don't

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>even see how it's that high. However, that's what it

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>is now. A lot of those people just finally blindly

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>vote down party lines, I suppose. But that's just on

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic side. On the Republican side, it's not much different.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>We have, I guess, at this point, the top Republican

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>contender to Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, who just got beat

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>by nobody in the Nevada primary. What I mean nobody.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>They literally wrote on the ballot none of these people,

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and that god, I believe, like sixty six percent of

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the vote. So she literally got beat by nobody. So

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>it's happening on both sides. And it's no wonder in

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the United States. I just saw today the American people

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>trust and support the government twenty percent. Only twenty percent

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>of Americans trust or support the government. And it's no

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>wonder why the country's fallen part a. Crime is at

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>all time highs, tax at all time highs, the debt

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is astronomical, inflation is rising, and no matter what it

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>seems the people want, the leaders in Congress, the Senators,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the congressman, etc. They don't seem to care. As a

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, they continually tell us that misinformation, malinformation,

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>White Christian nationalists are the biggest problem that we have,

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But yet most people are concerned.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>About the immigration problem.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>They continue to tell us that Ukraine or Israel is

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>our biggest concern, but yet most people are worried that

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>they can't afford their bills. And at a time when

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>we're worried that we can't even afford our bills, and

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>we're worried about the situation down at the border, they

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>just decide to Ramrod and inflate a border security bill

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>through which basically did nothing to secure the border, but

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>instead gave ninety six billion dollars to Ukraine, Israel, and

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Hamas in that bill. What you're hearing it was. In

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, it was a tool. And I don't want

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to go on about this bill, but I believe this

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>bill was just a political tool for the election. They

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>wanted to throw this bill, which they called a border

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>security bill, and it was so bad. It was worse

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>than what we have now, which is nothing. It was

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>worse than what we even have now, which of course

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it got shot down. Of course it did like there's

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 1>no way that could ever be approved. But now President

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Biden can run. As he said just on TV, I

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't pull the clip for this, but he said that

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>he is going to talk about that NonStop from now

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>until November. How Donald Trump and the Maga Republicans decided

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want border security, but that's not what it

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>really was. And we know that because all of the money,

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>if you took time to dig into this, all that

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>money was earmarked to go, like I said, to Ukraine,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Israel and Hamas. Now as that bill was shut down,

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>they decided, well, let's just go and give the money

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>to them anyway and said no, I think ninety six.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Billion or ninety eight billion is going to them.

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So at a time when public interest is done, we

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>don't care about Ukraine anymore.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>We have our own problems. We want the or secure.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>We don't want inflation to continue raging. But what are

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>they gonna do. They're gonna print another one hundred billion

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars and give it to other countries. And when we

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>give to other countries, let me just think about this.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>For example, the money going to Ukraine.

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Is gone. I mean, Ukraine is not winning the war.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>The money going to Israel. Israel has a lower debt

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to GDP than the United States does.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Why does that go?

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's no wonder that the people in America don't

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 1>support the government. Now back to the topic at hand,

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>we're witnessing something very interesting. We're witnessing a bright spot.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the many signs that constantly points to

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that shows that the pendulum of the world is swinging

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. And of course that's President Bouquet lead

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>down in El Salvador. Now, he's done nothing short of

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a miracle. I mean, the way that he's been able

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to turn the country around is nothing short of a miracle.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>It should literally be in textbooks and every leader, every

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>politician in every city, every county, every state, every country

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>should be paying attention to exactly what he's done. I'm

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna break it down for you. But he was just

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>re elected. When I say it was just re elected,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give you the whole backstory. You can

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>understand this. I was recently speaking at a conference up

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in Vancouver and went out to dinner the first night

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>of the event and somebody said, Mark, what's going on

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in El Soebigny to do?

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Pay attention?

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about Bouchayley? And let's say that

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I've done a little bit more research. I'm a little

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>bit more educated than it was at that point. So

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna break it down for you, but let's just

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>give you the highlights for a minute first. So Boukayley

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>has done a lot of things which turned the most

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>dangerous country in the world to the safest country in

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the world in record time, at a time when violence

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>is sweeping across the United States are once you know,

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>beautiful cities I've now turned into homeless encampments with NonStop

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>theft happening all the story. As a matter of fact,

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't really go to the store, but my wife does.

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>My wife is telling me how even here. I didn't

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>realize this. I thought it was going to happen in

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the cities. But even in our stores here, like everything's

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>locked up, and what an inconvenience it is for her

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that she can't see the inventory that she wants. She

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>has to get somebody to come unlock the cabinets for

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I mean, this is the state where

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 1>it ran. We saw just this week in Oakland we

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have in and out Burger had to close down. I mean,

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>shops are closing down, restaurants are closing down because of

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the violence. Apple stores are getting raided, non stop. But

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 1>yet here we have the most dangerous country in the

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>world flipped to be the most the safest country in

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the world. Now, he had to do a lot of things.

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to document this for you. We'll go through it,

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>but I just want to set this up. He had

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to go through some extraordinary measures in order to get

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>this done, and so of course the whole world looked

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 1>at him like he was some authoritarian. And I guess

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the saying is hard times create strong men, and that's

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happened. Elsavor has gone through some extremely hard

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>times and it needed a strong man to come up

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and do something about it. Now, if you understand that

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about that many times, it's from the Fourth Turning.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:54.119
<v Speaker 1>It's also known as generational theory, which is basically, hard

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>times create strong men. Strong men create great times, but

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>then great times create weak men, and weak men create

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>hard times, and then it starts over. And if you

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>think about this, think about the weak men that we have,

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>like Joe Biden, think about the weak men that we

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>have like Justin Trudeau or Macron or any of these

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>new leaders. If you will, think about these weak men

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and the times they've created, the hard times that we've

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>created and then look at somebody like El Salvador's President Bukeley,

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>who steps up and is a hard man, a strong man,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and it took strong results. And so it's no wonder

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that the rest of the world looks at them and says, oh,

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>how dare they do something like this? And so Bookeley

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to address this, he decided, Hey, here's what we're gonna do.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna step down out of power because it would

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>be understandable. It's understandable, but it's typically the way it goes,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of an evolution that once somebody gets powered, I

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to let go of it, and they continue

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to centralize that power sty have more and more of it,

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and they do become a dictator. It's certainly a risk,

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and this is something I discussed at the dinner a

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago. It's certainly a risk that he could

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>do that now. He's not there now, but it certainly

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a risk. So in order to sort of put that

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>rumor to rest, he decided that he would step down,

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>remove himself from office, and then see if the people

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted him back, and he would go through a democratic election.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's exactly what happened.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's sort of the topic of this conversation right now,

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>is that he just won in the biggest landslide in

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the history of representative governments, at least as far as

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I know, and the media isn't even talking about it.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So suppose at a time when democracy, democracy, democracy, we're

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to protect democracy by shutting down access to information

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.959
<v Speaker 1>and free speech. We're trying to promote democracy like in Ukraine,

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>which is probably the even bigger dictator country than El

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Salvador was, at a time when it's democracy, democracy, democracy,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>we literally watched democracy play out.

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 2>We watched the leader step.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Down, have an election and won by the biggest landslide

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and history of representative governments. And like I said, it's

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>completely blacked out by the military.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Part of the reason why I believe is because they

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want you to see that this is possible. He

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>won by locking up criminals and thugs. Interesting, he won

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>by cleaning up his country. He won by, you know,

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to do right by the people. I'm going to

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.599
<v Speaker 1>break all this down for you, but I'm setting this

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. Winning by eighty five percent of

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the vote, which is just amazing, but of course people

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.719
<v Speaker 1>are calling him a threat to democracy. If you're just

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>tuning in, you listening to the Mark mass Show, we're

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>breaking down the bright spot in the world that demonstrates

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>how the world is changing and.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>For the better. It's the message of hope, don't go away,

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 2>He'll be back, all.

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, Welcome back. If you're just tuning in your listening

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Mark Moss Show, we're talking about what just

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>happened down in Central America. That is the model for

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the world. Like I said, every single politician, whether it's

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>your city council, your county, your state, or you're a

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>government leader, country leader, you should be paying attention. However,

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>they're paying attention, but they're trying to bury it because

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't want you to understand what happened. And as

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, we're basically talking about how President Buchayley was

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>able to turn the most dangerous country in the world

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.479
<v Speaker 1>into one of the safests. So he just got reelected

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming vote eighty five percent, like the biggest sweeping, you know,

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>democratic election that we've seen. But yet people are calling

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>him a threat to democracy, which is pretty interesting. We

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>saw ilmar Ohan, you know, one of the people from

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the squad on the extreme far left, who's from Samoya.

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's like her husband is one of the

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>main politicians in Samoya. Go ahead and google it. Samalia

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>is one of the most corrupt and most dangerous countries

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>in the world.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>And she is on.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>The news over the last couple weeks talking about how

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>everything she's doing is for Samoya, how she's trying to

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>get Samoia to have influence in the United States, all of

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>these things, and then she went and got support to

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>file emotion against what else Salvorder is doing because they're

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a threat to democracy. So you start to see what's

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>going on. Of course, the left, anything they say, it's

0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>always going to be the opposite. When they say it's

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a border of security bill, it's not a border security bill.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>When Biden passed the Inflation Reduction Act, it was actually

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>to create more inflation. That's the way it works, and

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what's happening here. But anyway, this election happened.

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It had massive amount a sea of people out front

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>cheering him on to see him take this acceptance, and

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of quotes that I saw him talking about

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in this speech. It was obviously translated. I'm not fluent

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>in Spanish, but a couple of things that he talked about.

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He said that.

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>He said that he was able to take El Salvador

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>from the most dangerous country in the world to the

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>safest in the entire Western hemisphere. I think Luxembourg is

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>about as safe as El Salvador now, so in the

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>entire Western hemisphere now.

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>He said.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>In response to people calling him a dictator, he said

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that he placed honest citizens' rights over the criminals.

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm.

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a novel concept, isn't it, especially in today when

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we have, especially in California, but also in New York

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and other very very blue states, we have basically no

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>criminal punishment. You can steal up to one thousand dollars.

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Pretty insane. I mean, we're releasing violent criminals every single

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>day because you know, we don't want to make them

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>feel bad about themselves, and you know, we have to

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>respect their rights. But Bouqueta says, what about the rights

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of the honest citizens that are working hard. Shouldn't their

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>rights matter more than criminals? And of course I'm preaching

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to the choir. Of course you say that. But for

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a politician to come out and say that it just

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, right, Bucley said, I've talked to all the

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>other international organizations, I've talked to the other government officials.

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 1>He said, why do they want them.

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 2>To kill us?

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Why do they want these violent criminals to kill us?

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Why do you want to see the people of Savador's

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>blood spilled? And of course they don't. Look nobody wants that.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>The people, the immigrants that have come to the United

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>States from some of these war torn countries wanted to

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>get away from the violence. Nobody wants to live like that.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And I if.

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You use a rational mind, you if you ask yourself

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>why these policies are put in place when nobody in

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>their right mind wants them. Unfortunately, there's only a conclusion

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>that you can come to that's not a good one,

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's because actually it's actually bookay Lee was on

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Tucker Carlson, maybe it was about a year ago, and

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>he said that quote, the demise of the USA has

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to come from within. No external enemy can cause so

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>much damage as an internal operation. He continued, I am

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>from a third world country, and I see cities in

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the US where I wouldn't want to live. Now, when

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you see cities in the US eroading so fast, this

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 1>has to be by design, That's what he said. This

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is from Bookayley, who turned his country a one eighty

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in the opposite direction, which, of course they don't want

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you to see. Now, what happens when that happens, Well,

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that all of a sudden people are happy.

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It turns out that now all of a sudden, people

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>have hope, and there's energy, and now they're starting to

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>provide value to each other's starting to build businesses. It

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>turns out kids are now going to schools instead of

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>entering gangs. It looks like now we're building them an

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>educated class to take El sovereign to the next level.

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>What happens when that happens, Well, now we're seeing massive

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>amounts of investment capital coming into El Salvador. As a

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, Moody's rating said election results in El

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Salvador indicate approval of President Bukeley's anti crime agenda, and

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a positive credit rating. So Moody's is downgrading the

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>credit of the United States, and they're upgrading the credit

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of El Salvador.

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you see what's happening?

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Of course, no country can survive without law and order,

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>nobody wants to live in that. Nobody can build a life,

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody can build their private property. No one can build

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>a business. Some one can build a family unless there's

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>law and order.

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 2>There has to be. It just makes sense, all right.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's dig in and see exactly how he did this.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I came across this article called Bukeley's War for Peace.

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It was written by Benjamin Braddock just a couple of

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>days ago. Here. It's pretty interesting. So if we go

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>back a couple of points that I want to pull

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>out here. In twenty nineteen, that's when Boukayley took over

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>as president of l Salvador, and at the time he

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>came into a staggering challenge. I mean, the country was

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in ruins, the most dangerous country in the world, as

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>he's saying, and he had only been in office for

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a month. The countries in shambles, and all of a sudden,

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the country was put into international headlines because a Salvadoras

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>father and his daughter were trying to get into the

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>United States and they drowned.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>In the Rio Grande trying to get in.

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, immigration activists all over we're saying, you know how

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>dare the US make it so hard and this tragedy.

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's all Trump's fault for endagering migrants. You know, we

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>should allow the asylum seekers to get in easier. It's

0:15:55.560 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump's fault all these things. Now, that's what Pauls typically do.

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>They try to shift the blame to somebody else. But

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Bouquet Lee did the opposite. He said, quote, we can

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>speak blame to any other country, but what about our

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>own blame? I mean, what country did they flee? Did

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 1>they flee the United States? No, they fled Al Salvador.

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>They fled our country. It's our fault.

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>You see the first step to change in your life

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>is to take responsibility for it. As long as you're

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>continuing to blame other people and push the blame onto

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody else, you're never going to get the growth. And

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>as a brand new president who just took over and

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't even take responsibility for that, he's not the one

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that brought that country to that stage over one hundred

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>years or whatever it took to get there. But yet

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>he took responsibility. He said, why would we blame Trump

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>or the United States or any other country?

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 2>What about us? Why did they leave?

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Our own country. It's pretty amazing, and that is what

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a real leader does. Like I said, he could have

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>blamed anybody else for this. All right, So this was

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen. This article is great. We'll link it

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>to it in the show notes down below. It talks

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot about how the gangs and how the violence

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 1>got so bad in El Salvador and hand hint hint.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's because the United States.

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 1>These Al Salvador gangs grew in Los Angeles. They continue

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to get worse and worse and worse. They grew through

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the prison system and then they all got exported and

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 1>shipped right down to El Salvador. So the United States

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>fostered them, culturedom allowed them to grow, allowed them to

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>become the most dangerous, bloodthirsty and yes, even a Satanic gang.

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>They did lots of Satanic rituals and sacrifices and things

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like that.

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>But it was in the US that they grew.

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>In the US that, like I said, they were cultured

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and grown, and then they were exported and sent right

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>down to El Salvador.

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's where we're at. If you're just tuning in

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to the Mark Mass show. I'm talking about one

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of the most one of the biggest turnarounds that we've

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 1>seen in any country, and it is a bright spot.

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 1>What happens is you're typically looking for things that work,

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.479
<v Speaker 1>and you do more of those, and you look for

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 1>things that don't work and you do less of those.

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 2>That's typically the way that it works.

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 1>However, in the United States we seem to be doing

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 1>the opposite. But Elsavador is given us a picture of

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the way forward. I'll be back with more after a

0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>very short break.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't go away, We're back, all.

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, Welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Mark Mass Show. I'm always talking about the

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>way the world is changing, how the world is decentralizing,

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>how the grip of centralization or globalism is being broken.

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 1>We look out through the lens of politics, finance, and technology,

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and this story that we're talking about today is a

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.679
<v Speaker 1>perfect example of how the world is changing right now

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>in front of us. And while things look dark and

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 1>scary and i we're definitely going in the wrong direction

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and lots of places, there's lots of places that are

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.879
<v Speaker 1>going in the right direction and give us massive amounts

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of hope and so you know, they say it's always

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>darkest before the dawn, and unfortunately, I think there's still

0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 1>more pain ahead, specifically in the West, and partly because

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.159
<v Speaker 1>what I said in the beginning with the generational theory,

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.360
<v Speaker 1>hard times create strong men. That's what's happening in El Salvador.

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>We're still in the last stage what would be called

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the fourth turning, which is bad times or bad weak

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>men created bad times. Anyway, back to the story down here.

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 1>So twenty fifteen was the year that El Salvador attained

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the status as the most dangerous country in the world,

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was also the year that Mukayley was elected

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>as the mayor of San Salvador, San Savador being one

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest cities there. By the way, I'm going

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>out to El Salvador in about a month. If he'd

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>love to come down and see me. I'm going to

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>put a link in the show notes down below. We'll

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 1>ahead and put that down there. You should come check

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>it out. But anyway, so he became the mayor's Sun Salvador,

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.879
<v Speaker 1>and then he started running. He wanted to move up

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to become president in the twenty nineteen presidential election. He

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was already pulling higher than any of the other potential

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 1>presidential candidates. But the problem is the political parties sort

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of had the power. There was the f MLN and

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the ar NA Arena, and they basically teamed up together

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to block his participation in the election. They wanted to

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>keep him out, of course they did. They wanted the

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>status quo. The problem with most of these corrupt countries.

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Which is the most of the world, and I mean

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the United.

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 1>States is pretty corupt as well, is that they don't

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>want things to change. They need to continue to hang

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>on to power. So of course they try to block anybody,

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and unfortunately it's because they're looking out for their own

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>self interest and not for the greater good of the country.

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 1>And really, you know, there's a saying I learned a

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 1>long time ago. The fish stinks from the head down.

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And basically that means that it starts at the top

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and then it trickles down to the rest. If you

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 1>look into like running a company, a business, you have

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to set culture for that business, and that culture has

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 1>to be set from the top. The president, the CEO,

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the founder has to decide what that culture will be,

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and they're the ones that influence it. If they want

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to have excellence and hard work and customer care, then

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what the company will have. But unfortunately, you know,

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we've seen that shift in the United States and all

0:20:58.359 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>around the world back to the hard times.

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Strong men.

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the founding of the United States,

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the founding fathers, they literally risk their lives for the

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>betterment of future generations, you know, planting a tree under

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>which they'd never sit under that shade, so to speak. Right,

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>they were literally sacrificed in life. And even a hundred

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>years ago, people were moving here from other countries to

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>have better lives for their kids, things that they would

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>never see. They work two three jobs so their kids

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 1>could have a better life. But unfortunately, today, unlike our

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 1>founding fathers who sacrifice their lives for future generations, we

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>have politicians that are only out to enrich themselves every

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>twist and turn they can. And unfortunately, the double edged

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>sword of freedom has allowed, unfortunately many politicians in the United

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>States to enrich themselves by selling the country down the river,

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and of course they don't want that system to change,

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and of course then that trickles down through society. So

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>if the leaders at the top are only out for

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 1>short term wins and gains, and they're willing to let

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 1>greed drive them and sell out their own country and

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>basically steal. Then what do you think everybody else does?

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>And unfortunately, the best way to get rich today is

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>through gambling and theft, and that's exactly what we're seeing

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly what happened in.

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:07.880
<v Speaker 2>L Salvador.

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 1>However, President Muchaylee was able to get through. I'm not

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>going to take you through all the twists and turns

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>in this, but he was able to get through and

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>actually was was elected as president. That was June first,

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, and on June twentyeth he took his acceptance

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 1>speech to a packed out crowd. He was the people's favorite,

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>but the establishment didn't want them in there. Now, he

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>put together a grand plan, a territorial control plan is

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>what he called it. And I believe there was like

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>four phases. We'll go through the real quick. So Phase

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:41.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the plan was called preparation. It involved concentrating

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>on this disrupting the finances of the gangs, and taking

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>back control of historic city and town centers in twelve

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>key municipalities. Now again, it was one of the most

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 1>dangerous countries in the world run by these gangs. Now,

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>basically what was happening is MS thirteen gangs had control

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.239
<v Speaker 1>over the whole country and the country, you know, it's

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a poor country, and so they had these like little

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.239
<v Speaker 1>villages and pueblos or whatever you want to call them

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 1>down there, and basically these gangs would run every one

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.119
<v Speaker 1>of them. And from what I hear from the people,

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>have been down there a couple of times. From what

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I hear from the people, the locals couldn't even leave

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the towns, come and go without paying basically attacks to

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>these gangs, and they would take a large percentage of

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>their income. I mean, they're so broke, they barely make

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>any money as it is, and these gangs would take

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a large percentage of that. They would get robbed riding

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the buses and things like that. Basically, they are just terrorized.

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>They were living under oppression and fear all the time.

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.239
<v Speaker 1>And these gangs had become so powerful that they had

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 1>infiltrated their way into the court system and even into

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the government. And so the first phase was to start

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>attacking their finances, take back control of the city and

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the town centers. Like I said, in these twelve twelve

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>key areas. He had two thousand police officers from the

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>National Civil Police and three thousand soldiers of the Armed

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>forces coming in and the prisons were put on lockdowns,

0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>with cell phone signals around the prisons blocked. Why do

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>have cell phones? It's not allowed, you know, they're not

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have cell phones, but yet they all do

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>in the United States as well, they had them in

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>El Salvador. He locked the prisons down and blocked cell

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>phone signals.

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, it seems like a pretty good idea.

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Why don't we do that here? Why wasn't that done earlier?

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you understand?

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Phase two was called Opportunity. Opportunity was an effort conducted

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>in parallel with other operational phases, and it focused It

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.679
<v Speaker 1>focused on positive change. It focused on offering youth a

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 1>different path. Don't go with the gangs. Instead, let's create

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 1>this social fabric, schools, sports centers, educational opportunities, vocational training.

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's give these kids something to aspire to. Let's give

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 1>them training, Let's give them something else other than just gangs.

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a pretty good plan. Phase number three Modernization, Now,

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:54.360
<v Speaker 1>this involved equipping the military and the police force to deal.

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 2>With the gangs.

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>This meant updating their modern weapons, getting them you know,

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>proper vehicles, body armor, helicopters, night vision, because the gangs

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 1>are very well equipped in Mexico. Now, these gangs are

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like trillionaires. They have better weapons than most militaries. And

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean down in Mexico and a lot of places

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I go, the police.

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't even have cars.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>The police just like stand on corners. But yet the

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 1>narcos they have the best weapons you can have. And

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>so that's what's happening down in El Salvadors. They had

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to equip the military with better equipment, got one hundred

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>and nine million dollar loan in order to do that,

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and so he was sort of ramping up on Then

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.679
<v Speaker 1>February six, Bukeley invoked Article one sixty seven of El

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Salvador's Constitution to convene an extraordinary session of the Legislative Assembly,

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.479
<v Speaker 1>and he called in the citizens to join him at

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Legislative Assembly. So he got all the people because

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 1>he cared about the consent of the people that he governed,

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:52.879
<v Speaker 1>unlike what we have going on in the United States today.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And he got all the people to come in and

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>he asked the crowd, I want to ask you to

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:01.159
<v Speaker 1>let me enter into the blue hall of the Legislat

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Assembly to say a prayer and that God give us

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>wisdom for the steps we're going to take, and then

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>the decision will be up to you. Do you authorize me?

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>He asked them a question, and the crowd started chanting

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and roaring yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, get in the

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>consent and the will of the people to go and

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>do something, and even more importantly saying that he wants

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 1>to go and ask God about it, giving it up

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to a higher power. Now, whether you believe in God

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>or whatever god you believe in, I think it's pretty

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 1>understandable that if you give respect, if you believe in

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a higher power, you're probably going to be a better

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>leader than if you think you're the God themselves. There's

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of religions that I don't agree with, but

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.119
<v Speaker 1>we pretty much for the most part, would agree that

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>if people lived by this universal code, things will be

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>better off. Then that's exactly what President Buchley did. He

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>said that he asked God and God told him patience, patience, patience.

0:26:57.880 --> 0:26:59.159
<v Speaker 1>But when he came out to people are like, no,

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't want patience, and he said, no, we're going

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to do this patiently, and we're going to do it democratically,

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly what's happening. Through the democratic process, he

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>was able to mobilize another fourteen fourteen hundred soldiers to

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>go fight the gangs. And a year after this all started,

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 1>his party succeeded, took one by overwhelming votes. And now

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Bukeley was free to govern with so full support of

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the legislator legislature. And this story is just getting going.

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you exactly what happened after this

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>next step happened, how bitcoin came into play, and again

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>how this can be a model for the rest of

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the world. If you're just tune in your listening to

0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the Mark Mass Show talking about the bright spot in

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the world that should be an example for the rest

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of us. We'll be back with more in a minute.

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't go away, all right, welcome back. If you just

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 1>tune in, you're listening to the Mark mass Show, we're

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about the bright spot that's going on in the world.

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>That should be the well, it should be the example.

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 1>It should be what every politician, city, county, state government

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>should be paying attention to and I'm talking about what's

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>going on down in El Salvador. We saw President Bouquelee

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>takeover El Salvador as the president a couple of years

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 1>ago now I guess about five years ago, and has

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>turned it within five years from I think the most

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that he says the most dangerous country in the world

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to the safest country, at least in the Western hemisphere

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>or potentially in the entire world. I went through sort

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of the whole plan of how they did that, and

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we talked about I'm getting up to speed. So finally

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.359
<v Speaker 1>we're at phase four of this territorial control plan that

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>he put in. And this is an important piece because again,

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the country was so violent and it was under such

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>control this by the gangs that there was areas that

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 1>were literally no go zones that were so dangerous and

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>were so controlled.

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>By gangs that they couldn't even go there.

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I remember in high school one of my best friends

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>family had come from South Africa. I had a couple

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 1>friends from South Africa and they had left there when

0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>things got bad. Their families had moved over here. Remember

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>one of my friends after high school went back and

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>he worked as a fireman over there. And you know,

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in South Africa, and he came, he would come back

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>periodically and we'd kind of talk about what life was

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>like living over there, and I remember him telling me

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>stories about how there were these no go zones where

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>literally even if the police were, say like in a

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>high speed pursuit or something like that, there were certain areas,

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 1>like certain neighborhoods or regions that the police wouldn't even

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>go into because.

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 2>It was so bad. And I couldn't believe.

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It at that, Like I was young, and I just

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't understand the way the world worked, I guess at

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>that point, but it was, it was it was unbelievable.

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 2>For me to think about that.

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, that's the way South Africa still is today, and

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it was exactly how El Salvador was at that time,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>or the Sales Salvator South America, South Africa. It's the

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 1>same way South Africa still is today, unfortunately, and it's

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the way that El Salvador was as well. And so

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the part phase four of the plan was to basically

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>get the government to re establish security control of these

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>no go zones that the police had previously found it

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>difficult or impossible to even operate in you know, in

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>these barrios, things like that taxis had to pay extortion

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>fees when they entered and left the barrio. Little ladies

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>with papoosa stands, which are just like these little like

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of bread sandwiches that they make down there. Little

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>ladies of the papoosa stands had to pay gangs a percentage

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of their receipts or they would see their sons disappear.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Men who could not cross certain geographic boundaries to buy

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>food or they'd be killed. Right, they couldn't. They couldn't

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>even go feed their families. They had to go send

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.479
<v Speaker 1>their wives to do it. That's how things were at

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>this point. And so this phase of the plan was

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to take away the gang's ownership of these spaces and

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>allow the citizens to free the work and then come

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and go as they please without fear. Sounds like a

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good deal, right, But I mean, we're starting to

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>see this in the United States. There's plenty of places

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in some of these big cities that you shouldn't be going.

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>People getting beat up and mugged and robbed and even

0:30:56.960 --> 0:31:00.680
<v Speaker 1>killed on the subways or downtown cities. Now, as part

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of this phase, a new goal was also announced to

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>double the size of the armed forces from twenty thousand

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to forty thousand troops and the operation, you know, in

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>order to do this, in order to reclaim the Borrios

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>put the game members in a very defensive posture. All right,

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:16.479
<v Speaker 1>So this is pretty interesting, and of course they're going

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to fight back. They're not going to go away easily. Right.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So for months, the homicidera had been very low, and

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that's because they were on their back foot so to speak. Right,

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 1>They were coming after the gang so much they were

0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>forced into hiding. But on March twenty sixth to twenty

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, the gangs decided to move forward and they

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>went on a killing spree. They started targeting street vendors,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>bus passengers, grocery shoppers. It was El Salvador's bloodiest day

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>since the civil war, and the gangs were basically trying

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to send a message to the government, Look, you either

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 1>back off of us and let us have our way,

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>or we are going to rain down and you know,

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>terrorize you some more.

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>So this was an interesting piece because a weak man,

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a week president would potentially get into that, but not Buquelie.

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He was a strong man and so instead of backing

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:07.320
<v Speaker 1>down to what the gang's request is, he responded in

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:10.479
<v Speaker 1>kind or maybe even faster, and it was swift and

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it was resolute. So what he basically did the next

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 1>day the National Assembly passed a state of emergency and

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a state of exception. The gangs had treated the public

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>as hostages, right, they were terrorizing all these people, using

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>them as hostages. So down to the President began treating

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>their imprisoned homeboys in sort of the same way all

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 1>of the home boys, the other gang members that were

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in prison. He started cutting their meals, giving meal rationing.

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He took their mattresses, he took their clothes away from them,

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>so now inmates were only able to wear underwear and

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>they had to sleep on concrete. And then the president

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>valved that if there were any more waves of gang violence,

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that the imprisoned gang members would not be fed, as

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 1>he said quote, not be fed a single grain of rice. Now,

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, people don't like this. You have all these

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:02.520
<v Speaker 1>international NGOs, non gover organizations like the Human Rights Watch,

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, Amnesty International, the

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>United Nations, you know, all of these in there saying how.

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Dare you do this.

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:14.600
<v Speaker 1>You can't treat people like that. And the President responded, quote,

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they can take their gang members if they want, We'll

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 1>give them.

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>All of them. Of course they didn't.

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course none of these countries wanted them. I'm guessing

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the United States probably wanted a few of them. Maybe

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll get some of them over here. But that's exactly

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>how he had to deal with it. And so what

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>happened is over the next couple of months, the war

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>against the gangs just intensified. Thousands more gang members were arrested,

0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>more prison more than they could even fit into the prison.

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So then Bikayley had to build new prisons. He had

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to build a new one that had a capacity for

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 1>forty thousand inmates, but he rounded them up, cleaned it up,

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.479
<v Speaker 1>allowed him go into Phase five, which was a territory

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 1>control plan extractions. So now police and soldiers began encircling

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>communities and going to where all the known gang members are,

0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 1>where they were hiding out, and they started doing house

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 1>by house searches until every single person was checked. Now

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the part that a lot of people don't like, and

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I mean, unfortunately, when things get this bad,

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you have to do extreme measures. I'm guessing that in

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>this massive dragnet that the government did, there was probably

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 1>some innocent people that might have got caught up in that,

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's not good. I would imagine that some people

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe didn't get the full benefit of the doubt, maybe

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.400
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get the full due process that they deserve,

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and that's unfortunate and I am certainly one hundred percent

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 1>for everybody's rights. The problem is, how do you fix

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a problem this extreme. The answer would be to never

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.240
<v Speaker 1>let it get that way in the first place.

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 2>That's the answer.

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, we live in a world of complex systems.

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.960
<v Speaker 1>The human body is a complex system, the financial systems

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a complex system. Our socio or economic world we live

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in is a complex system, and you can't just treat

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 1>individual symptoms without having unintended consequences. You know, I mostly

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about the financial system, and so as we talk

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:07.360
<v Speaker 1>about the financial system, people want say, we how can

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 1>we fix this?

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 2>How can we fix out?

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 1>But the problem is you fix one little thing and

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it causes all these other problems. And so the answer

0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>is like, well, we should have never let it get

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>like this in the first place, because there's really no

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>good way getting out of it. I remember again, back

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in high school, one of my other good friends, their

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>family owned a body shop, and I would I'd hang

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 1>out there sometimes on the weekends, and I remember he

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 1>would talk about like people would come in and see

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.840
<v Speaker 1>them working on their cars and they're hitting them with hammers,

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to pound out panels, and the people like, WHOA, well,

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? You know, you're making it worse.

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, look, man, you hit it this hard,

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:39.760
<v Speaker 1>like we had to hit hard to get it to get.

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:40.680
<v Speaker 2>It back into shape.

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:42.759
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of the what is it the saying like

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you can't make a cake without breaking a few egs

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. And so, unfortunately, when it comes to

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, complex systems, whether it be your health,

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>your body, the economic system, or a political system like this,

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately there's no good swift answer. And everything in life

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 1>has a cost. Everything in life has trade off, and

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to just trade things off. Unfortunately, that's just

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the way the world works. It's not black and white

0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 1>like that. But the outcome is is that now the

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 1>kids who would otherwise be growing up in environment that

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 1>pressure them into joining gangs now have massive opportunity. Now

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 1>instead of going to gangs. Now they have school, they

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>have sports now, instead of a country that's continue to

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.839
<v Speaker 1>fall further and further behind, now there's investment capital coming in.

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Businesses no longer have the tax of extortion by the gangs,

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 1>so they're free to expand. Workers no longer have to

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:32.360
<v Speaker 1>pay extortion fees, so that's more money for them to

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:35.320
<v Speaker 1>invest into their own families and to their own businesses.

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>The amount of psychological relief that's come from the gangs

0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 1>being relaxed is allowing the country to flourish.

0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 2>But yet the opposite of that what.

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:48.239
<v Speaker 1>We're seeing all throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>specifically in these major cities, it's the opposite direction. And

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>so the dark before the dawn, so to speak, is

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 1>we're still going in this bad direction.

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately. The good news is that Bouqueti was able.

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:02.280
<v Speaker 1>To turn this around in just a couple of short years,

0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and he's showing the world how quickly he can turn

0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>around the world if they wanted to. Anyway, if you're

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:10.839
<v Speaker 1>tuning in listening to the Mark Moss Show talking about

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the bright spot of what's going on in El Salvador

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and how it could be a model, it should be

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>a model for the rest of the world. Let me

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:18.040
<v Speaker 1>know what you think. I'd love to hear from you.

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Hit me up at one Mark Moss on social media

0:37:21.000 --> 0:37:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I got.

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much for listening.
