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):
I can't get that song out of my head from
like ten years ago. You remember that Ya Da Da
Da da Cake by the Ocean.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know that song?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It was popular, wasn't the vacation in Greece and they're
jamming at at the beach clubs. Anyway, I keep thinking
about three D Chess by the guys of Beaches by
the Ocean.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, because guess what, that's what Trump is playing right now.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Three D Chess and the mainstream media. Again, they think
that they're smart, but there are legends in their own mind.
That's a Carly Simon song. By the way, anyway, I
gotta stop sub referencing yesterday jaw dropping event press conference,
(00:59):
Donald Trump, Benjamin net and Yahoo. Trump says, yeah, yeah,
we'll take over Gaza Well, yeah, we'll take over Gaza Strip.
Can you imagine? Could you imagine the activity that was
taking place in capitals all.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Over the world. He is said, what Saudi Arabia, Turkey.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You, Oh my god, they're all freaking out, running around
like it's and you know, deep down inside, Trump knows this,
and he's laughing, and he's laughing about what he just proposed.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
What he proposed. That's insane. You can't do this, well,
has you know what you've been doing? Has it been working?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But you end't gonna get all the butts coming out?
But but but but but but but but but And
he knows this.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, he knows this, and he's playing it up now. I,
for one, I suggested this in Trump's first term. I
suggested that he throw the United Nations out of New
York and redeveloped that area in Manhattan.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, put his name all over to Trump this Trump
Tower here. Try to just do a bunch.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Of them for crying out loud. I thought that would
have been awesome. Now logistics here, Okay, I'm gonna have
all sorts of editorials.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh Donald Trump, I we told you he's like Hitler
ethnic cleansing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
He wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And he knows all of this. He knows what exactly
that they're going to say now currently Gaza for all
intense purposes. Is uninhabitable, it's it's been wrecked. It's been wrecked.
(03:00):
He is suggesting, suggesting, wink wink.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Moving everybody out of Gaza, giving them another place to live,
doing it with Jordan, doing it with Egypt, and then
rebuilding Gaza, kind of like making it a monaco, a
monica without a king and queen.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, just we'll be in the United States, will take
it over. We'll make sure this thing works.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Now that ain't happen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Ain't gonna happen again. They're all going to talk about it, but.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's changing the conversation for that area. Donald Trump is, well,
yu g.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You don't want us to do it. Well, you know,
maybe Saudi Arabi, maybe the UA, maybe maybe some of
you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Would like to control this and put this together.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That again, I.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Don't know if it will happen or what happened won't.
But it's changing the story the possibilities for that area.
Everyone is going to be thinking about it in a
different way. What this is is it's generating new opportunities,
(04:19):
new options for basically a no man's land. And without
a doubt, that is some nice property that that is,
that's a great piece.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Of land over there. It could be worth a fortune.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Gee, maybe maybe the people in gos will start thinking
about it in those terms and what possibly Well, you
know what, we're not gonna move out, but we're gonna
we're gonna be allowed to come back. Okay, we can
have that where you know, you can come back. There's
a lot of different things that you can do.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But if Gods it was wealthy.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And they weren't having these issues, I don't think the
people would be so inclined to be starting wars. I'm
just saying, you don't see Switzerland invading many places?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Do you? Now? Again, this is.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Three D chess in so many different ways. Not to mention,
the media can't keep up with this.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You have to you have to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's hilarious. Watch Joy Read from MSNBC. Didn't even know
what to say or how to react. They don't even
they're calling their sources, they're calling their experts. How are
we going to cover this story? How are we going
to cover that? I hope they forgot about this over here.
I mean, yesterday you had Democrats. It was it was crazy,
(06:02):
it was they they it went absolutely berserk.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Did you did you see Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I don't know with Elizabeth Warren and some of the
other wackos there. Wait, well then even the even the
CNN panel was laughing at them. They don't what are
they going to say, because again they gotta get someone's
gonna put a microphone from them and they gotta have
a response to it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
And these people, they don't think for themselves.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
These politicians, they got to call Chuck Schumer, they got
to call it Keem Jeffries. They got to get their
marching orders and how to think about something before they
even open up their mouths. So they have to process
all of this. This is wrecking, This is wrecking the
narrative machine that's been in place for a very long
(06:55):
period of time. And I have to say, it's freaking genius.
It's genie. Hey again, you know it's Wall Street Journal
or Conservative publication, it's not conservative. Trump campaign on ending
foreign entanglements. Now he wants to own Gaza.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
He had my own Gaza.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
He wants to he wants to develop Gaza, he wants
to make Gaza better.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Midi's powers reject Trump proposal to take over Gaza.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, but what's your counter? What do you what do
you suggest now, will you reject my proposal? It's it's
uninhabitable at this point in time.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
What would you like to do? Let let's let's show
your thoughts.
