Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it will have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Dictator traits, Yeah, all, I know. Trump's a dictator. Actually, PBS,
which all due respect, I wouldn't mind, wouldn't care quite frankly,
wouldn't care if Doge shut down PBS. I wouldn't care
if they shut down National Public Radio. Do away with

(00:37):
that whole thing, because they're full of crap. Oh, you
had mainstream meda outlets as well. Elon muskiave a Nazi salute, Right,
sure he did. Again you believe any of this stuff? Honestly, again,
you shouldn't be allowed to vote, quite frankly, because you're
that dumb. Anyway, You know what dictators normally do. I

(01:00):
was like, what are traits of dictators? Yeah, a lot
of dictators, when they come into power, they restore free
speech and they halt the weaponization of government on day one.
Because lots of dictators.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Do that, right Pole Pot, Yes, Stalin Hitler, Oh, yeah,
they love free speech and all that's come.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
On, people, give me a break. I actually got to
give you an actual headline. This. This is from the
Harvard Political Review. I'm at the point in time, as
I said, you know, if you're from one of these
Ivy League schools, don't even bother, don't even don't even
send me your resume. I'm not even interested. I'm worried. Okay,

(01:50):
you got to be quarantined because you got that bloody
woke mind virus. Anyway, This is from a Harvard Political Review.
Trump's rhetoric echoes Hitler. Yeah, here we go with Hitler again.
So I you know, I was thinking about it and
I said, I'm gonna bring one blasts from the past.
Nothing changes, nothing changes when it comes to these people

(02:14):
on the left. They're liars. They don't really have anything.
They don't have anything, and I guess their appeal for
a while was just reaching out to young people with
you know, the young skulls as rush Limball he's called
skulls full of mush, and it would be easy to
sway them or push them in a certain direction when

(02:35):
they really don't know much. I'm gonna go back in time.
We're gonna go back to two thousand and five. I
did a column making fun of the rhetoric at the time.
And do you remember Howard Dean? Remember Howard Dean? Yeah,
it was a governor. It was a governor, right, And
they ran for the presidency and he did that crazy

(02:58):
yell and then he lost. But anyway, here's my message. Well,
I'm interpreting a message from Howard Dean, dear comrades. I'm
writing this letter to not only rally the faithful, but
to educate the masses and how we can bring home victory.
And of course, you know, try to do it. Not

(03:19):
in the midterms, but in two thousand and eight I said,
I think the principal reason for our losses has to
do with our collective ability to argue points. You see,
I argue very well, ask any of my remaining friends.
I like to think of myself as the Socrates of
the Democratic Party. I can win an argument on any
topic against any opponent. Interviewers and evil conservatives know this,

(03:43):
and steal swear. They get way away from me, steer
clear for me at parties, and are afraid to have
me on their talk shows more often than not as
a sign of their great respect. They do not even
invite me to all the faithful. Hear me loud and clear,
You too, can win arguments. Simply follow the patent pending
Howard Dean's Rules for Winning arguments and crushing your opponent. Now,

(04:05):
for your young people out there, you could take away
Howard Dean. You can put insert leftist or insert leftists
or insert someone from the mainstream media rule number one,
Howard Dean's rules or leftist rules for winning arguments and
crushing your opponent. Drink liquor. Yep, you're at a party

(04:26):
and some stuffy church going designated dot driver type. You know,
some conservatives expounding the greatness of the American economy and capitalism,
a subject you know nothing about. If you're drinking some mocktail.

(04:47):
You're drinking some mocktail, you're gonna hang back. You're gonna
be afraid to display your ignorance. Now you know you're
gonna got to do. Is you gotta drink a few
shots of Jack Daniels. Suddenly you're gonna discover that you
have very strong views about whether it be capitalism, whether

(05:08):
it be about Donald Trump, whether it be about the
New Green Deal, whatever it may be all about. You're
gonna expound the necessity of greater, bigger government, more involvement
in our lives, a censorship, you know it, universal healthcare.
You are gonna be You're gonna be a wealth of propaganda.

(05:30):
Just keep drinking. Yep, You're gonna offer searing insights and
guess what you might even spill something upsetting the furniture.
People are gonna be impressed, So may leave the room.
Number two. This is a big one. This is a
big one. Make things Uh this was there was I

(05:53):
got a sub reference here a little bit. There was
an episode of The Simpsons where they brought Michael Moore
or on the program and I think Lisa Simpson was
upset about journalism and I think Homer won the Pulitzer
Prize or something like that. He started some sort of
internet blogs back in the day. And Michael Moore comes

(06:15):
on the program and just espouses some ridiculous, nonsensical statistic
or fact and Lisa goes, where do you get your
information from? And Michael Moore goes, your mother anyway, Yeah,
make things up. You're trying to make an argument that
our economy is just you know, it's in disarray and

(06:37):
it's terrible, and you know, capitalism is awful. We have
to get away from this. We need more involvement, bigger
government out there. You know, you have to basically, you know,
just come up with exact numbers. Don't say, don't say
I think the unemployment rate is wrong. You say, the

(07:00):
average American salary in nineteen eighty one dollars adjusted for
the revised tax base is and fifty two per annum,
which is eight hundred and thirty six dollars before the
mean gross poverty level, which in turns puts unemployment numbers
at eighty percent due to Donald Trump. Always make up

(07:20):
exact figures. This is a key, Okay, this is what
leftists do. Okay. And again, if an opponent ask you
where you got your information, make that up. To make
that up to This information comes from Paul Krugman and
George Storros's commission. That was you know, published and you

(07:42):
know the Jedi Knights were involved with this, didn't you
read it? Again? A cup exact figures doesn't make any difference. Again, mainstreaming,
they're never going to call you out on a that stuff.
Number three. Rule number three is use meaningless but weighty
sounding words and phrases. Okay, like this. Let me put

(08:05):
it this way, in terms of vis a vi per
se as it were, so to speak. Again, you got
to memorize some Latin abbreviations. Again, this is short for
I speak Latin and you don't. Here's how to use
Here's how to use some of these words and phrases.

(08:28):
Suppose you want to say, Americans would like to order
appetizers more often, but they don't have enough money. You
never win arguments like that, but you will win if
you say, let me put it this way in terms
of appetize those vas a v Americans qua Americans, they
would like to order more them more often, so to speak,

(08:51):
but they don't have enough money per se as it were. Again,
it's again word salad kamala. Harris does this all the time,
without the Latin anyway. Rule Number four, Use snappy and
irrelevant comebacks. Now you're gonna need an arsenal of all

(09:14):
purpose irrelevant phrases to fire back at your opponents when
they make valid points. The best are you're begging the question,
you're being defensive. Don't compare apples to oranges? What are
your parameters? Here's how to use your comebacks. Okay, you

(09:34):
say you say, being liberally, make something up. As Abraham
Lincoln said in eighteen seventy three. The person with a
few brain cells you know, that can rub together, comes
back at you and says, well, Lincoln died in eighteen
sixty five. You say you're begging the question, or you

(09:58):
sayans like most Asians. Your opponent says liberias in Africa.
You say you're being defensive rule number five and they're
using this one a lot. Is the big guns again?

(10:18):
Compare your opponent to Hitler, heavy artillery, Hitler racist, whatever
it may be. When your opponent says something that is
obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong, bring Hitler up.
Subtly say hmm, that sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler

(10:41):
might say. Or you certainly remind me of Adolf Hitler.
There you go, leftists, that's how they do it. That's
you know again, it's been working for some time. I
don't think it's working as much anymore. I don't have
you Have you seen the numbers at these left wing

(11:05):
networks at this point in time, nobody's watching Watchdog on
Wall Street dot com.
