Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to another episode of The Mark mo Show,
Speaker 1: coming to you each and every week, breaking down what's
Speaker 1: going on in the world, trying to explain what is
Speaker 1: happening in the decentralized revolution, talking about the intersection of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology. Now a lot of people talking about politics,
Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about finance, some people talking
Speaker 1: about technology. But if you don't understand how they all
Speaker 1: work together, then you don't understand the context of what
Speaker 1: is going on in the world today, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: the massive changes that the world is going through because
Speaker 1: of those three things colliding. Now. I talk a lot
Speaker 1: about the three revolutionary psychles. I'm talking about the political
Speaker 1: revolution cycle on a two hundred and fifty year time frame,
Speaker 1: the fifty year technological revolution cycle, and the eighty year
Speaker 1: financial revolution cycle, and all three are converging right now
Speaker 1: at the exact same time, which is of course why
Speaker 1: we're seeing fireworks blowing up. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that I've been talking about in my three cycles thesis
Speaker 1: is that the world is going through a revolution, going
Speaker 1: from centralization to decentralization, going from globalization or globalism back
Speaker 1: into more of nationalism. I've been talking about this for
Speaker 1: quite a while. You could just search if you have.
Speaker 1: If you want to check into it, look at Mark
Speaker 1: Moss three Cycles, three revolutionary cycles. Um, you'll find lots
Speaker 1: of videos and podcast appearances. I've been on talking about this,
Speaker 1: teaching about on my YouTube channel. I have about two
Speaker 1: hours of content breaking this down, and that's what we're
Speaker 1: talking about. And if you understand it from that lens,
Speaker 1: then it starts to bring everything that's going on in
Speaker 1: the world into more context. Larry Fink, who is one
Speaker 1: of the he's the founder of black Rock, see of
Speaker 1: black Rock, the largest asset manager in the world, sort
Speaker 1: of a proxy for the Federal Reserve, if I might
Speaker 1: say that, actually said just a few days ago that
Speaker 1: he thinks that this Russia Ukraine war will be an
Speaker 1: end to globalization, globalism. That's a big that's a big
Speaker 1: thing for someone of his stature to say, and of
Speaker 1: course it's exactly what I've been saying for the last
Speaker 1: year and a half or so. Now we'll dig into this,
Speaker 1: but each week we're talking about the convergence of these
Speaker 1: three cycles, technology, politics, and finance. You have to understand
Speaker 1: him in context. Now, obviously, this war in Russia Ukraine
Speaker 1: is a catalyst. The pandemic was a catalyst, This war
Speaker 1: is a catalyst. But these are not black swan events.
Speaker 1: Black Swan events are things we didn't know they were coming.
Speaker 1: Who could have ever known that was gonna happen? It
Speaker 1: was a black swan, And a lot of people think
Speaker 1: the pandemic was a black swan, Like who would have
Speaker 1: known that some virus would just come up and just
Speaker 1: shut the whole world down? Right? Who would know that? Well,
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much the virus. It was the response
Speaker 1: to the virus that was the problem. It was the
Speaker 1: response to the virus to shut the whole world down.
Speaker 1: It was the response to the virus that locked people
Speaker 1: in their homes and shut businesses down, all those things.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the virus, it was the response. And again
Speaker 1: history would have shown us because we're at peak centralization,
Speaker 1: peak globalization, um, peak government's controlling every aspect of your
Speaker 1: lives with a light switch. Um. So that's kind of
Speaker 1: where we're app and so history would have told us this,
Speaker 1: And history would also tell us that a war with
Speaker 1: the rescue Ukraine would be causing this problem right now
Speaker 1: at this time. It's interesting how that works. Isn't it.
Speaker 1: So we'll dig more into that. But, like I said,
Speaker 1: the end of globalism as we know what I've been
Speaker 1: calling for, what we call the blow off top, the
Speaker 1: blow off top of globalization or centralization. And what a
Speaker 1: blow off top is in a financial market if you're
Speaker 1: looking at UM for example, go back. If we're looking
Speaker 1: at the markets in the two thousands of the dot
Speaker 1: com boom and so um through the through the nineties,
Speaker 1: mid nineties, especially from and accelerated into the year two
Speaker 1: thousand and by, the markets were going parabolic, like almost
Speaker 1: straight up as they were sucking more and more people
Speaker 1: in coming in to get rich. I heard everybody making
Speaker 1: all this money in these crazy things called internet stocks,
Speaker 1: and I want to get rich and internet stocks and
Speaker 1: sucks all these people in, and as and and as
Speaker 1: more people come in, the prices go up, even hiring
Speaker 1: his price scope even hire. More people get sucked in,
Speaker 1: and it's this kind of cycle. And at the very
Speaker 1: top it's kind of starting to run out of people.
Speaker 1: It sucked everybody and that's going to come in. And
Speaker 1: the top it's very volatile, very frothy. It goes up
Speaker 1: and down, up and down, up and down, very volatile
Speaker 1: and then boom crashes. It's a blow off top and
Speaker 1: it crashes down. And part of the reason why it
Speaker 1: crashes down because all those people that got sucked in
Speaker 1: at the very top, we're what we'd call the weekends, meaning, um,
Speaker 1: they didn't buy with real conviction, thinking that Amazon was
Speaker 1: going to be the leader in this new world called
Speaker 1: e commerce. Of course we didn't have e commerce back then. Um,
Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't come in with that conviction. They
Speaker 1: came in going, Hey, my buddy said, I can get rich,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna buy it. And so what happens
Speaker 1: when the market sells off all those people the weekends
Speaker 1: They sell first, and they sell fast, which is why
Speaker 1: the market dumps really fast, and it causes more and
Speaker 1: more selling. And so I've been calling for the blow
Speaker 1: off top of centralization. Where the world the pendulum, I
Speaker 1: like to say, the pendulum has been swinging towards centralization
Speaker 1: more and more and more. Hey, government, um, would you
Speaker 1: just take care of health care for us? Could you
Speaker 1: just take care of retirement for us? With retirement by
Speaker 1: the first thing, right, take care of retirement for us?
Speaker 1: And how about take care of health care for us?
Speaker 1: And Hey, how about take care of education for us?
Speaker 1: And how about just take care of everything for us? Right,
Speaker 1: And so we just assigned more and more and more
Speaker 1: to the nanny state, and it continues to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow,
Speaker 1: grow bigger, bigger, bigger, more and more centralized, until it
Speaker 1: sucked almost everybody in at the top. It becomes very volatile,
Speaker 1: like right now, which is why pre pandemic December two
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, there was ten countries with over one million
Speaker 1: people each in the streets protesting. Now this is pre pandemic.
Speaker 1: They were already ten countries with millions of people in
Speaker 1: the in the streets protesting. It's not about the pandemic,
Speaker 1: it's about the centralization. And this is only continuing. It's
Speaker 1: very frothy at the top. It's very volatile. We're seeing
Speaker 1: it right now. And Russia and Ukraine is sort of
Speaker 1: almost this catalyst that's really kind of bringing an end
Speaker 1: to this. And as I said, Larry Fink from Black
Speaker 1: Crock said, this could be the end of globalism. So
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's going to change the world
Speaker 1: as we know it. But how do we navigate this
Speaker 1: on a regular basis? Now it's causing all different types
Speaker 1: of problems, um, that you're aware of by now. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, apparently gas prices is the fault
Speaker 1: of Putin and the Russia Ukraine War, apparently, UM. And
Speaker 1: I know everybody's been feeling that pain at the pump now.
Speaker 1: I have talked to a few people. We're like, Mark,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to me. I don't have a car.
Speaker 1: What do I care? Well, you have no idea how
Speaker 1: the system works to you, because oil energy gas is
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of the entire economy. Even if you don't
Speaker 1: have a car and you don't drive, well, how does
Speaker 1: your food get to the grocery store? Right? How did
Speaker 1: your food get to the grocery store? Gas, or we
Speaker 1: call it oil energy, is the lifeblood of the system.
Speaker 1: And so everybody's feeling the pain. If you're not feeling
Speaker 1: at the pump because you don't have a car, you're
Speaker 1: feeling it somewhere else for sure. And it's gotten so
Speaker 1: bad that we are seeing now in California, where I'm
Speaker 1: recording from right now, our great leader, Gavin Newsom has
Speaker 1: decided to send out a check to everybody, which sounds
Speaker 1: pretty good. Why not why not send a check out?
Speaker 1: I like that. I didn't get any checks through the
Speaker 1: a couple of rounds of stimulus, didn't. I guess if
Speaker 1: you make more than seventy five dollars, you're rich and
Speaker 1: you've got no money now in California doesn't mean too much,
Speaker 1: especially in southern California. But uh, nevertheless, Um, this one
Speaker 1: appears that everybody with a car, it's gonna get one.
Speaker 1: And I like that. Uh so maybe maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: a check. We'll see. But what's interesting is, um, again, centralization,
Speaker 1: central planning. The government has to do something right now.
Speaker 1: The government has to do something to fix the problem.
Speaker 1: But maybe it was the government that actually caused the problem.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get into that in a minute. I
Speaker 1: got a couple, I got a lot to go over.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna play you some actual clips we
Speaker 1: can hear directly from the President's mouth, directly from the
Speaker 1: White House's mouth. I had some clips queued up. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about, uh, and I'm gonna break all this down.
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at what they're blaming on the problem.
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at what the real problem is here. Um,
Speaker 1: and I have some what I like to call, I
Speaker 1: have the receipts. I'm gonna give you some actual facts.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna look at the narrative and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you actual facts. I'm gonna give you dates, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you amounts, and we're gonna look at this
Speaker 1: because there's been some big claims throwing out there by
Speaker 1: our leaders. We'll call them that. I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: away from using the word elite. They're not elite. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't hire any of those guys to run my business.
Speaker 1: They're not elite, but they're they're the leaders. We're gonna
Speaker 1: look at some of that and we'll look at the
Speaker 1: facts and figures to see what is going on with there.
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to cover. You're listening to
Speaker 1: the Mark Moa Show. We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I got
Speaker 1: a lot to go over today, talking about the end
Speaker 1: of globalization UM and really looking at some of the
Speaker 1: statements that have made in the facts. So don't go away,
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back here, listening
Speaker 1: to the Mark Moa Show. Talking about the intersection of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology. We're talking about the decentralized revolution. Of course,
Speaker 1: we're talking about bitcoin and the changes that is going
Speaker 1: on in the world today, trying to understand it, trying
Speaker 1: to bring it all into context. Now. Before the break,
Speaker 1: I was talking about how my work doing looking mapping
Speaker 1: out three cycles, three revolutionary cycles, politics, finance, and technology,
Speaker 1: and how they're all converging today, tells us that what's
Speaker 1: happening right now in the world, with the pandemic and
Speaker 1: the lockdowns and the over each of the government, the
Speaker 1: wars in Russia and Ukraine, all of that, all of
Speaker 1: that was actually predicted. We knew that was all gonna happen. Now,
Speaker 1: we didn't know exactly. You know, Putin was going to
Speaker 1: go into the Ukraine, we didn't know that. But we
Speaker 1: know that centralization, globalization is going to end, and the
Speaker 1: pendulum will swing back towards decentralization. That's what history tells us,
Speaker 1: That's what the cycles tell us, and sure enough we're
Speaker 1: witness in it. As I said before the brake, Larry
Speaker 1: fink Uh, CEO of black Rock, the largest asset manager
Speaker 1: in the world, public has said that a couple days
Speaker 1: ago on the news said that this could be the
Speaker 1: end of globalism as we know it now. Um, So
Speaker 1: that's happening. We're taking a look at that, we're kind
Speaker 1: of dissecting that and trying to understand what that means
Speaker 1: for us. Now. I was talking about how gas prices
Speaker 1: are getting so crazy, and like I said, it is insane.
Speaker 1: Here in southern California, in LA we have gas over
Speaker 1: seven fifty a gallon. I drive a truck and that
Speaker 1: sucks because man, it's like almost two hundred bucks a
Speaker 1: tank to fill it up. It's insane. I try not
Speaker 1: to get gas in Los Angeles, try to get it
Speaker 1: down out of Los Angeles where it's much cheaper, but
Speaker 1: still seven bucks. Nationally, it's over four dollars a gallon,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Um. Now, Apparently the American people have
Speaker 1: been led to believe that the reason why gas prices
Speaker 1: are going and so higher, going so high is because Putin.
Speaker 1: It's all Putin's fault because of the invasion of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: And it's just that simple, right, cut and dry. It's
Speaker 1: got to be Putin's fault. Everything's this fault. He's a
Speaker 1: bad actor, so it must be his as a matter
Speaker 1: of fact. Um Jen Saki, you know, the Queen of
Speaker 1: circling back. Um, she told us that it is that simple.
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I got a video clip. Let's
Speaker 1: or audio clo. Let's play that real quick, and let's
Speaker 1: hear what she has to say. You may have noticed
Speaker 1: this week that your gas prices have gone up. I
Speaker 1: want to talk to you a little bit about why.
Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, that's it simple, must be true, she said it.
Speaker 1: We can believe everything they say, right. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: she doesn't study the economy. She's not an economist, certainly
Speaker 1: not an oil and gas expert. But you know, she's
Speaker 1: probably pretty good at reading off the teleprompter. And that's
Speaker 1: what I told her. Um. But you know, apparently it's
Speaker 1: a Vladimir Putin's fault. Um. At least that's what they
Speaker 1: say now. Um. It probably has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the trillions and trillions of dollars the US government has
Speaker 1: pumped in. It probably has nothing to do with the
Speaker 1: very first day Biden took office, the very first day
Speaker 1: that the most important thing that he could ever think
Speaker 1: of in the history of the world that they had
Speaker 1: to do on the first day was to shut down
Speaker 1: oil and gas pipelines and to shut down oil and
Speaker 1: gas permits. That was the most important thing. I couldn't
Speaker 1: have anything do with that, right, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: why would uh, why would businesses uh that are being
Speaker 1: shut down put out less product? That doesn't make any sense. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, we have a little bit of disagreement
Speaker 1: happening between the White House. I'm sure you've been seeing
Speaker 1: that lately. President Biden came out and said, we've got
Speaker 1: to get Putin out. He can't stay. And then the
Speaker 1: White House says, oh no, he wasn't talking about regime change.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no. Then Putin said, and
Speaker 1: then then Biden told us that, well, Russia could use
Speaker 1: chemicals chemical weapons, and if they do, the U. S
Speaker 1: Will respond in like kind. That's what he said. The
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense came outside. Hang on, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute. He didn't mean that
Speaker 1: the US would never do something like that. So you
Speaker 1: know they're a little bit in disagreement. Jen Szaky said,
Speaker 1: it's all Putin's fault. But I have another clip of Biden.
Speaker 1: Are President good old sleepy Joe? He came out and
Speaker 1: gave us something else. Let's go ahead and play this
Speaker 1: clip of Biden to hear what he's telling us. The
Speaker 1: price of these sanctions, it's not just imposed upon Russia,
Speaker 1: it's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well,
Speaker 1: including European countries in our country as well. Wow. So
Speaker 1: the cost of these things, the cost of putting sanctions,
Speaker 1: doesn't just hurt doesn't just hurt Russia, it actually hurts
Speaker 1: us as well. So, Uh, you know, if you're an American,
Speaker 1: thank your president because his actions are now making it
Speaker 1: harder for you to live. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure
Speaker 1: why any of us really care that much about what's
Speaker 1: going on now. Certainly do you care enough to donate
Speaker 1: a big chunky ear pay to that? Now? Look, I'm
Speaker 1: i am not pro Russia. I'm not pro war. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that's probably the biggest thing. I'm not pro war. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not for any more. I don't want people hurt,
Speaker 1: I don't want people dyeing. I want people killed. And
Speaker 1: certainly there are something happening and that I'm not happy about.
Speaker 1: It makes me sad. But let's just not pretend that
Speaker 1: this is a war of freedom and democracy, because Ukraine
Speaker 1: is not anything close to him on democracy. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, they're ranked I think ninetie out of
Speaker 1: countries that are the most corrupt, so that means they're
Speaker 1: one of the most corrupt countries in the world. So
Speaker 1: Zelinski is certainly not uh an angel, we'll call him that.
Speaker 1: He's certainly a dictator, and probably worst dictator than Putin is.
Speaker 1: So let's just be honest with ourselves. We're just backing
Speaker 1: one dictator over another. And in order to you know,
Speaker 1: go against Russia, Americans have to pay more, meaning more,
Speaker 1: pay more at the pump, or so they say, it's
Speaker 1: all his faults, But is it? Is it really? And
Speaker 1: that's the question that we have to ask ourselves. And
Speaker 1: that's the that's the part where I start having a
Speaker 1: problem because the data doesn't back that stuff up. We
Speaker 1: want to dig into that. Let's let's let's look at
Speaker 1: some of the data that we have on this, because
Speaker 1: apparently if this is Putin's fault, if this is the
Speaker 1: war on Russia and Ukraine's fault, then that means prices
Speaker 1: just went up since we since that started, or did
Speaker 1: prices already start going up before that? When did inflation
Speaker 1: really kick off? When did the price of gas and
Speaker 1: oil really take off? Did happen on that date? Well,
Speaker 1: lucky for you listening, I have the data in front
Speaker 1: of me. We can look at the exactly look the amounts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break that down for you. By the way,
Speaker 1: you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. We're talking about
Speaker 1: this decentralized revolution that the world is going into. We're
Speaker 1: talking about bitcoin. Now you're like, Mark, what do you
Speaker 1: mean you're talking about bitcoin? You're talking about the war
Speaker 1: with rush of Ukraine and gas prices and putin. What
Speaker 1: was that to do with anything? Well, it has to
Speaker 1: do with the end of globalization, the end of centralization,
Speaker 1: moving into a decentralized revolution. And bitcoin is the technological revolution.
Speaker 1: They come about every fifty years, the technological revolution that
Speaker 1: is bringing us into the decentralized revolution. So we're I'm narrating,
Speaker 1: I'm narrating the game for you. I'm narrating the Titanic
Speaker 1: sinking and people getting onto lifeboats to go into a
Speaker 1: new system. So, um, if you want to know where
Speaker 1: the price of bitcoin is, I mean, there's plenty of
Speaker 1: people that can tell you that. Um, I could certainly
Speaker 1: just read you charts, but I think it's much more
Speaker 1: important to understand what's going on in the world today
Speaker 1: and more importantly, how you can navigate it so you
Speaker 1: can survive and thrive. I'm not a doom and gloomer. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not a doom and gloomer. Now, I'm a realist.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, being a realist and understand what's going on,
Speaker 1: I think there's more pain ahead. I think things get worse,
Speaker 1: But I'm an optimist because I think I see short
Speaker 1: term pain ahead, but I see once we get on
Speaker 1: the other side of this, I see massive hope, massive
Speaker 1: prosperity on the other side. Unfortunately, sometimes you gotta burn.
Speaker 1: You have a little bit of a forest fire to
Speaker 1: get that new growth. Um, creative destruction, if you will to.
Speaker 1: In order to get something new, you have to get
Speaker 1: rid of the old way, and sometimes it's painful, but
Speaker 1: it's good. Um. In order to get growth, you have
Speaker 1: to have stress. You have to tear your muscles down
Speaker 1: for them to get bigger and stronger. And so while
Speaker 1: there may be some short term pain, we can get
Speaker 1: through it for the next couple of years, and then
Speaker 1: there's massive hope and prosperity for my kids and my
Speaker 1: grandkids and so forth and so on. So I'm happy
Speaker 1: about that. And if we navigate this correctly, we'll be okay. Now,
Speaker 1: Like I said, you listen to the Markma Show talking
Speaker 1: about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I'm talking
Speaker 1: specifically about Russia Ukraine war and why gas process are
Speaker 1: going so high, what that means, and uh, why we're
Speaker 1: being lied to. And I'm gonna give you the actual facts,
Speaker 1: the actual data. I'll be back with prices, amounts, and dates,
Speaker 1: so much more. You don't want to miss this. I'm
Speaker 1: bringing the receipts, the AMMO that you need to understand
Speaker 1: what's going on in this war of information. So don't
Speaker 1: go away. I'm gonna be right back with more. All right,
Speaker 1: welcome back here, listening to the Markma Show talking about
Speaker 1: the decentralized Revolution. We're talking about the intersection of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology. We're talking about how the world is changing
Speaker 1: from centralization to decentralization and how bitcoin is the technological
Speaker 1: revolution that is leading that charge. So we were talking
Speaker 1: about before the break, we were talking about how Russia,
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine War is breaking the country apart. Now
Speaker 1: I've been get into this each and every week. There's
Speaker 1: a lot to go into. Um and so if you
Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm covering it all, just go back
Speaker 1: and check out some of my past issues. Uh, you
Speaker 1: can find them. Just search Mark Moss I Heart Mark
Speaker 1: Moss Podcast and you'll find that. And um, it's like
Speaker 1: my radio show on demand. Now, don't miss my radio show.

Speaker 1: today and you need someone that can help you bring
Speaker 1: it all into understanding and context, which is what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do here. It's not what I'm trying to do,
Speaker 1: it's what I am doing. And so you don't want
Speaker 1: to miss this, So make sure you join me each
Speaker 1: and every weekend. If you do happen to miss it,
Speaker 1: I get it, life gets in the way, then you
Speaker 1: can catch me radio on demand on the podcast network. Again,
Speaker 1: just search Mark Moss I Heart Mark Moss Podcast. You'll
Speaker 1: find that and you'll find some of the steps that
Speaker 1: we've been breaking down about what's going on with this
Speaker 1: UM the war. But I'm not trying to dissect the war,
Speaker 1: just dissect the war. I'm dissecting what's going on so
Speaker 1: we can see how the world, how the transition is happening.
Speaker 1: A lot of people will ask me all the time,
Speaker 1: mark when when is this going to happen? When is
Speaker 1: the dollar going to lose as the reserve status, or
Speaker 1: when will bitcoin be used more in adoption, or when
Speaker 1: will you know whatever. My answer is, it's happening. It's
Speaker 1: happening right now, We're watching it. We're watching it happen.
Speaker 1: You just have to be paying attention. It's not like
Speaker 1: it's not like a light switch moment that just happens UM,
Speaker 1: where like you go to bed one day and then
Speaker 1: you wake up the next day and everything's changed. It's
Speaker 1: not like that. UM. For a lot of you that
Speaker 1: don't know, if you're if you're too young, you haven't
Speaker 1: paid attention. The dollar has not been the reserve standard
Speaker 1: of the world. Forever. Before the dollar was the reserve
Speaker 1: stand of the world, there was the pound British sterling.
Speaker 1: When the dollar took over from the pound pound britishterling,
Speaker 1: it was about a forty year process didn't happen overnight,
Speaker 1: so this doesn't happen overnight either. As I said, we
Speaker 1: have this blow off top. It gets very volatile, the
Speaker 1: top up and down, up and down, up and down,
Speaker 1: and then it finally blows off. And that's what we're witnessing.
Speaker 1: So we're narrating this. We're looking at each of these
Speaker 1: in you see, so we can kind of start to
Speaker 1: figure out how to play this. Now. I was talking
Speaker 1: about the you know how how the Biden administration. Biden
Speaker 1: himself personally said that because of the sanctions on Russia,
Speaker 1: things are gonna get more expensive. Um. His Press secretary
Speaker 1: Jan Secky said that the prices going up are Putin's fault. Um.
Speaker 1: I guess since since he acted that we had to
Speaker 1: act with sanctions, and because we had to act with sanctions,
Speaker 1: then we have to pay more. Um. And I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get into if that's right or wrong. I'm
Speaker 1: sure plenty of you are happy to give up a
Speaker 1: good chunk of your paycheck to support the war in Ukraine. Again,
Speaker 1: you support one dictator over another, and just don't think
Speaker 1: you're trying to save freedom and democracy there. Um. But
Speaker 1: that's Okay, I'm first saving all humans lives, even if
Speaker 1: they're communists or dictators. I don't I don't want to
Speaker 1: see anybody hurd or killed. But but what I want
Speaker 1: to break down is the fact from the fiction. And
Speaker 1: so they say it's all Putent's fault, it's all because
Speaker 1: the war in Russia and Ukraine. But let's take a
Speaker 1: look at that. So here's the here's the facts in
Speaker 1: the data. So um, let's take a look. Let's start oil. Okay,
Speaker 1: So oil is needed to make gasoline, so when the
Speaker 1: price of oil goes up, then the price of gasoline
Speaker 1: goes up. So let's take a look at the price
Speaker 1: of oil um before Biden won the election, after he
Speaker 1: took office, and when the war in Ukraine happened. So
Speaker 1: Biden won the election in November, all right, Now it's
Speaker 1: important why we why we look at the date he
Speaker 1: won the election and when he took office, is because
Speaker 1: markets are discounting mechanisms, meaning they always trying to bet
Speaker 1: where the future is going to be, trying to get
Speaker 1: in early before the price goes up. And so what
Speaker 1: we can see is that oil prices had had maintained
Speaker 1: a pretty good pace except for then the pandemic March,
Speaker 1: the whole world shutdown. Of course, the demand for oil
Speaker 1: shutdowns to the price of oil went down as well.
Speaker 1: It slowly rebounded, and when Biden took office in in
Speaker 1: uh or I'm sorry it was elected in November, oil
Speaker 1: started going up really really fast, took off almost parabolic.
Speaker 1: And know why why would it do that? Well, because
Speaker 1: if Trump was elected, he was going to be very
Speaker 1: pro U S energy independence, more oil and energy in
Speaker 1: the US. But if Biden was elected, it was gonna
Speaker 1: be pushing this to this green agenda and shutting oil
Speaker 1: and gas down. Notice I'm not trying to pick a
Speaker 1: winner here, but you have to understand the nuance and
Speaker 1: the differences here. So because Biden got elected in November twenty,
Speaker 1: then the market's good. Well, okay, we know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: He's gonna shut down all the oil and gas is
Speaker 1: gonna move to renewables. So oil and gas prices automatically
Speaker 1: start going up from there, all right, So we can
Speaker 1: see that um, from the time he was elected November,
Speaker 1: oil was at thirty five dollars a barrel, and then
Speaker 1: we go all the way to February two before the
Speaker 1: Rush of Ukraine conflict and oil was at dollars a barrel.
Speaker 1: So from thirty five to nine eight, that was under Biden,
Speaker 1: before the Putin invasion, it was at ninety dollars barrel.
Speaker 1: Where's oil today, I think it's that about roughly a
Speaker 1: hundred and five, So it's about the same as it
Speaker 1: was before war, the Rush of Ukraine war now one
Speaker 1: oh five. You know, it's a little bit difference if
Speaker 1: you're if you're a trader, maybe that means a bunch
Speaker 1: to a couple of points. But for the average person,
Speaker 1: you know that that doesn't really make any any difference.
Speaker 1: So oil rallid from ninety eight before Russia Ukraine, that
Speaker 1: was because of Biden. All right, Now let's dig in deeper.
Speaker 1: What about gas? Remember oil prices going up means gas
Speaker 1: prices go up. So gas prices they're they're at the
Speaker 1: highest point they've been in a really long time UM.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, as they are higher than
Speaker 1: they've been since really like two nine there's been since
Speaker 1: about two fourteen, they've been kind of stuck in this
Speaker 1: channel pretty good low price UM and they have broken higher.
Speaker 1: And we can see that as soon as Biden got
Speaker 1: elected again elected, not not in office. Prices started going up,
Speaker 1: and as a matter of fact, gas prices hit a
Speaker 1: new all time high. Well I should say, not a
Speaker 1: new all timeline, but um a new short from high
Speaker 1: um before the war in Ukraine happened. So look, oil
Speaker 1: is back to where we were pre Russia invasion. Gas
Speaker 1: is back there now. Some of it is because we're
Speaker 1: releasing um oil reserves and stuff where there's a lot there. Um.
Speaker 1: But the fact is is, don't let them blame that
Speaker 1: on on a putin now, um in that. In the
Speaker 1: audio clip I've paid played before the break as well,
Speaker 1: I played a clip of Biden saying that because the
Speaker 1: sanctions on on Russia, then people in the US have
Speaker 1: to be willing to pay a lot more money. So
Speaker 1: what he's saying is that prices are going up. That's inflation, right,
Speaker 1: So we can see that inflation goes up. The government
Speaker 1: measures it with a metric called CPI consumer Price Index.
Speaker 1: I call it cp LIE because they manipulate that never
Speaker 1: so much. Well, let's take a look at that. So
Speaker 1: the c p I, this is the government's number of inflation.
Speaker 1: And there's whole bunch of reason why that's wrong. But
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into that right now. But the
Speaker 1: CPI UM number was one point two per cent when
Speaker 1: Biden won the election November, and it had been at
Speaker 1: that rate for a long time for eight years at least,
Speaker 1: had kind of stuck in that range and went up
Speaker 1: and down, up and down, But the Fed wasn't able
Speaker 1: to consistently get inflation to even two percent. It waffled
Speaker 1: back and forth, but couldn't get it consistently above two.
Speaker 1: When he won the election November twenty, it was one,
Speaker 1: and then inflation rallied all the way to seven point ninebers,
Speaker 1: and from one point to to seven point nambers, at
Speaker 1: the highest level it's been in over forty years. And
Speaker 1: one thing, the one thing that's super important understand is
Speaker 1: that in the eighties and the nineties, they changed the
Speaker 1: way they calculate CPI, and so when it was if
Speaker 1: they if we went back to the way to calculated
Speaker 1: in the eighties, last time, we are seven point nine,
Speaker 1: it would actually be about fifteen and six. So it
Speaker 1: was at one point two when he took office, but
Speaker 1: and it was, and it was seven point nine before
Speaker 1: the Ukraine War. Again, trying to blame this on Putin
Speaker 1: and uh in Russia. Is is a mistake. They're they're lying,
Speaker 1: They're lying to you. They're trying to use this war
Speaker 1: to cover up the facts of their mistake. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't want to blame all of this on Biden. Let's
Speaker 1: give him a break, because most of this was started
Speaker 1: even before he took office. Is actually started with Trump.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because inflation isn't prices going up.
Speaker 1: Prices going up is the result of inflation. Inflation is
Speaker 1: the money supply increasing, and the money supply started increasing
Speaker 1: under President Trump. Well, the money supply has always been increasing,
Speaker 1: but it dramatically took a big increase because of the
Speaker 1: war on COVID, and that is what caused the price
Speaker 1: of everything to shoot higher. When you have more money
Speaker 1: chasing goods and services. I got a lot more to
Speaker 1: break down on this. UM. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the self inflicted wounds on the energy markets in the
Speaker 1: United States, some of the things that Biden did, specific
Speaker 1: things that he did to cause the price to go up. Um.
Speaker 1: Not just on the money and so much more. Of course,
Speaker 1: you listen to the Markmas show talking about the decentralized Revolution,
Speaker 1: how the world is moving from a centralized world into
Speaker 1: a decentralized world. How bitcoin is at the base of
Speaker 1: that technological breakthrough. It's technology that changes the way the
Speaker 1: world works. Uh, and what comes next? Now you listen
Speaker 1: to the Markmas Show. I got a lot more to
Speaker 1: talk about this specifically, so you can understand this in
Speaker 1: better context and even better how you can prepare and
Speaker 1: protect yourself. Um, I got more when I come back,
Speaker 1: Do not go away. I'll be right back. All right,
Speaker 1: welcome back. You're listening to the Markmas Show. And we're
Speaker 1: talking about the decentralized revolution. We're talking about politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology. All throughout history, it's technology that changes the world,
Speaker 1: and so we're talking about the technological revolution that's leading
Speaker 1: to the decentralized revolution. Of course, Bitcoin is that technological
Speaker 1: revolution that is changing the world as we know it.
Speaker 1: And we're witnessing we're watching all these things happen in
Speaker 1: front of us. Of course, I've been talking about the
Speaker 1: war between Russia and Ukraine. Obviously the US is involved.
Speaker 1: It's costing the US people a lot of money in
Speaker 1: the form of higher, higher prices on everything. And I
Speaker 1: was explaining how a lot of that's being blamed on
Speaker 1: Putin in the war in Russia. But the reality is
Speaker 1: oil and gas and inflation. We're going way higher before
Speaker 1: before that happened. I gave you the dates, the facts,
Speaker 1: the charge, the numbers, everything. I gave you the receipts.
Speaker 1: I'm not here trying to give you my opinion. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to give you the facts. If you've missed that,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go back and listen to the on demand
Speaker 1: search Mark Moss podcast, Mark Moss Radio show and you
Speaker 1: can find out more about that. I know these are
Speaker 1: tricky things to to get through. Um, but the more
Speaker 1: that you like anything in life, the more time and
Speaker 1: attention to put to it, the more you pay attention, uh,
Speaker 1: the more you can understand them. So it's a good
Speaker 1: thing to, you know, listen to radio shows or podcasts
Speaker 1: like this, you know, watch YouTube videos. My channel Mark
Speaker 1: Moss obviously will check that out. Watch other people get
Speaker 1: different opinions. Don't just listen to me, right, Try to
Speaker 1: get different people's opinions. Try to make your own opinion
Speaker 1: based off of what you're hearing. Um, there's never been
Speaker 1: a more important time in history than right now. I
Speaker 1: like to say that the ostrich can Bury its head
Speaker 1: in the sand, but it won't keep it from being eaten.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite authors, Iron Rand says that you
Speaker 1: can choose to ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the
Speaker 1: consequences of reality. So you can not pay attention, you
Speaker 1: don't You could turn off the TV, you could turn
Speaker 1: off the news. You don't need to understand any of this,
Speaker 1: and you could just go live your happy life. The
Speaker 1: reality is it probably won't end up being that happy
Speaker 1: because reality will come and smack you in the face.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happening in the world right now.
Speaker 1: We have all these these politicians, all these leaders that
Speaker 1: have made these policies that are not grounded in any
Speaker 1: real world information, and they're very quickly being smacked across
Speaker 1: the face by reality realizing, oh shoot, I guess the
Speaker 1: world still needs energy. Who would have thought, right, um,
Speaker 1: And so we're finding those things out and so, like
Speaker 1: I said, you can choose to ignore it, but you
Speaker 1: can't ignore the consequences of that. And if you want
Speaker 1: to learn how to build, grow and protect your wealth,
Speaker 1: because like I said, it's in my opinion, things get
Speaker 1: worse for the last couple of years, and then there's
Speaker 1: massive hope and prosperity on this side. So how do
Speaker 1: you make it through to that other side? And that's
Speaker 1: that's why you need to be paying attention to You've
Speaker 1: gotta be tuning in each and every week, UM, and
Speaker 1: listen to other people like me, right, UM, also meet
Speaker 1: other people. UM. I recently last year, I moved out
Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico, the first time I've moved from southern California,
Speaker 1: and I met new friends and I realized, dang, people
Speaker 1: should actually move. I didn't really think about that people
Speaker 1: should move because you need to meet new people. And UM.
Speaker 1: You know, they say that you are the five people
Speaker 1: you hang out with, and as you grow in your life,
Speaker 1: you need to change the people you hang out with.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you just stay stuck in the same position. A
Speaker 1: lot of your friends they hold you back, not because
Speaker 1: they're mean. They don't want you to change, because they
Speaker 1: want you to stay with them. But we need if
Speaker 1: we want to keep keep growing, if to keep changing,
Speaker 1: and so you need to meet new people. One of
Speaker 1: the best ways to meet people is to get out.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be at the Bitcoin conference next week. UM,
Speaker 1: I'll be meeting lots of people. Of course, if you
Speaker 1: want to come meet me, come to the Bitcoin conference.
Speaker 1: I'll be there. You can meet a lot of other
Speaker 1: like minded people like you. I also hold my own
Speaker 1: conference called Market Disruptors Live dot Com that's going to
Speaker 1: be in May, again meeting people. I bring people together.
Speaker 1: Get out to these conferences, meet people, make new friends.
Speaker 1: You are the people that you hang out with. If
Speaker 1: you want to come check me out Market Disruptors Live
Speaker 1: dot Com. We're gonna be in Dallas. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1: But whatever you do, make sure you continue to grow because,
Speaker 1: like I said, you can choose to ignore it, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be good for you. But back into what
Speaker 1: we're talking about with this war and and uh, the
Speaker 1: US and so forth, and a lot of this, like
Speaker 1: I said, they're blaming the gas prices, and they're brain
Speaker 1: blaming the oil prices on the war, and it's put
Speaker 1: in folit etcetera. But um, a lot of it is
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with the money, right,
Speaker 1: So I talked about the increase of the money supply,
Speaker 1: which again is credits to Biden. It's not always fault.
Speaker 1: It started with Trump and as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: every president spends more than the last So Biden spent
Speaker 1: more than anybody, and Trump spent more than anybody. And
Speaker 1: you know, uh, Obama spent more than everybody, and Bush
Speaker 1: spent more than everybody, spent more than everybody. Just we
Speaker 1: keep spending more and more and more. So it's not
Speaker 1: all Biden's fault. That's just part of the machine. But
Speaker 1: what is Biden's fault is the very first day he
Speaker 1: took office, Day one, the most important thing he did,
Speaker 1: he did executive orders. What executive orders mean, Screw everybody else,
Speaker 1: screw the democracy, screw the branches of government. I'm a king,
Speaker 1: I'm a dictator. I'm going to pass an executive order
Speaker 1: because I said so, I don't care what anybody says.
Speaker 1: That's what he did. So very first day he put
Speaker 1: executive orders into one shut down, UM, the Keystone Pipeline.
Speaker 1: Now imagine that. Um, you can if you want to
Speaker 1: move energy, you know, oil and gas, you can put
Speaker 1: it into trucks and you can transport and those trucks
Speaker 1: can drive back and forth, back and forth, back and
Speaker 1: forth delivering, or you can put it into a pipeline
Speaker 1: and the pipeline could just deliver it cheap and good
Speaker 1: for the environment. Imagine all those diesel trucks moving energy
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, back and forth all day,
Speaker 1: or just put in a pipeline. So pipelines would also
Speaker 1: be better for the climate, and it would also be
Speaker 1: better for prices. But no, he didn't like that, he
Speaker 1: shut that down. On top of that, again, same day
Speaker 1: he decided to shut down all new oil and gas
Speaker 1: drilling on the U. S Land. So what happens? What
Speaker 1: happens when you attack an industry, when you suspend their leases,
Speaker 1: you say you can't go get anymore? Well, what you
Speaker 1: think would happen? You get less of it. So we
Speaker 1: can see that um, through all this heavy regulation, we
Speaker 1: can see that the US is producing ten percent less
Speaker 1: oil less. Now, it doesn't take a genius. You can
Speaker 1: be an elementary student elementary math to understand supply and demand.
Speaker 1: If you cut the supply of oil but you have
Speaker 1: the same or more demand, what do you think happens
Speaker 1: to prices? Don't take a genius. And then you have
Speaker 1: Biden again unilaterally, So I was I'm fair with him?
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know all presidents have spent more. Trump
Speaker 1: spent more, Biden spent more. UM, but Biden as a dictator,
Speaker 1: as a king, past executive orders to do these things,
Speaker 1: and then he hands selected a nomination for the position
Speaker 1: of Comptrol of currency the o CC. Her name was
Speaker 1: sal Amarova. She didn't make it, but it was his choice,
Speaker 1: his first choice, and she said, quoting her uh, we
Speaker 1: want oil and gas come place to go bankrupt, That's
Speaker 1: what she said. So if you're an oil and gas
Speaker 1: company and um, the government's actively saying that we want
Speaker 1: you to go bankrupt, actively trying to shut you down,
Speaker 1: do you think you would spend more money to research
Speaker 1: and develop new products? Would you spend more money for exploration?
Speaker 1: Of course not right, not if the talent You're gonna
Speaker 1: shut you down. So then if you're not spending money
Speaker 1: on exploration or research and development, and guess what, there's
Speaker 1: no new supply. And remember back to supply and demand.
Speaker 1: If there's no new supply and there's demand, because it
Speaker 1: turns out people still need to drive. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: And for all you people that think electric vehicles, batteries
Speaker 1: and wind can solve everything, have you thought about that?
Speaker 1: Because it still takes oil to make the windmills, and
Speaker 1: it takes oil to ship the windmills to the United States,
Speaker 1: and it takes oil to clear the land, and it
Speaker 1: takes oil to stand up the windmills, and then the
Speaker 1: windmills only last for twenty years and have to be
Speaker 1: torn down, and that takes oil to do that, and
Speaker 1: then takes oil to bury them in landfills that sit
Speaker 1: forever because they can't decompose. And batteries need all types
Speaker 1: of all types of minerals that go in there, like lithium,
Speaker 1: for example, And to get lithium out of the ground
Speaker 1: they have to mind hundreds of thousands of pounds. And
Speaker 1: how do they do that with giant tractors that use what,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oil? Electric vehicles? They take the motor from
Speaker 1: inside the car and then move the motor to outside
Speaker 1: the car. But something interesting for all of you that
Speaker 1: maybe don't understand how this works is that we cannot
Speaker 1: create energy. We can't create it. Energy is not created,
Speaker 1: energy is harnessed, it's unlocked, it's transferred, but it's neither
Speaker 1: created nor destroyed. So all we can do is find
Speaker 1: energy from one place and we can harness it and
Speaker 1: we can move it another place. That's what we do.
Speaker 1: We can't create it from thin air. Perpetual energy, perpetual motion.
Speaker 1: They've they've tried to figure it out. It's at the
Speaker 1: beginning and they haven't been able to figure that out.
Speaker 1: But it's really these policies that are the problem. We
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to that. And so I just
Speaker 1: want you to be informed of what's going on. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, like in California, they want to
Speaker 1: give us money to help offset that, but it was
Speaker 1: the money that they print in the first place that
Speaker 1: caused the high prices. So now they're gonna print even
Speaker 1: more money to help us with the high prices that
Speaker 1: was caused by printing the money pretty backwards. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a rant. Today you listen to
Speaker 1: the Mark Moa show talking about the intersection of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology, talking about the world going from centralization to decentralization,
Speaker 1: the end of globalization as we know it being pushed
Speaker 1: and ushered in by bitcoin, the decentralized revolution as I
Speaker 1: call it. It's a big move. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: The world's changing now. Um. I think it's exciting. I
Speaker 1: think it's exciting. It gives me a lot to talk
Speaker 1: to talk about. Anyway, and Hopefully you enjoy hearing it.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you. Hit me up on
Speaker 1: a message on Twitter at one Mark Moss. You can
Speaker 1: find me on social media LinkedIn, Instagram, etcetera at one
Speaker 1: Mark Moss. Check out my website at one Mark Moss
Speaker 1: as well. Well, no on my website one Marks, but
Speaker 1: thanks for listening.
