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 we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The world is a vampire. Yeah, thirty plus they about
thirty one years ago smashing Pumpkins bullet with the butterfly
wings and yeah, we're talking about that, and we're talking
about spending in doge. Yeah, the lyrics the world is
(00:37):
a vampire, sent to drain secret destroyers, hold you up
to the flames. What do I get from my pain,
betrayed desires? A piece of the game? And then you
get that Courses song. You know, despite all my rage,
I'm still just a rat in the cage. How many
feel that way? How many feel like you watch all
(01:00):
of these these stories that are coming out, and I
felt this way for a very long period of time,
and you know, quite frankly, you know, there's I can do.
What I can do about it? Again, this is things
of this world. I can't don't have any control over it.
(01:21):
But might we be released from our cages? With what
is being conducted right now? I I'm looking at some
of the numbers right now that are coming out, and
it's again, rage, rage, And I'm not supposed to, you know,
(01:46):
sposed to control your rage. I'm supposed to get angry,
and I try to do this. Some of the data
that we're seeing right now, twenty million Americans supposedly collecting
social Security benefits over the age of one hundred. Supposedly
(02:07):
people are still collecting social Security that are over the
age of one hundred and forty. Some of the other
things that we're seeing right now. Oh, interestingly enough, this
social security stuff is coming out right now. Michelle King,
the acting head of the Social Security Administration, resigned designs
(02:30):
she had a dispute with Doze over access to this information. Again,
what are you being told? What are you being told?
Coming to steal your social Security money? No, they're not there,
trying to root out waste and probably yeah, maybe steal
social security money from people that don't deserve social Security.
(02:53):
People have been stealing this money again right now, US
Treasury make a list here. US Treasury can't track, can't
track four point seven trillion dollars in payments and this
is over the years. Again, think about that dollar amount.
(03:17):
Get your arms around that dollar. I mean, you might
have a taxpayer revolt here in this country. More and
more people I ain't paying taxes. I'm done. Can you
blame them? Medicares sent two point seven trillion dollars overseas
to people that weren't eligible. Pentagon's lost track of two
(03:37):
point five trillion dollars mentioned Social Security, Department of Education.
I don't know. They spend fifty million bucks a year
trying to make your kids gay. USA spends countless dollars
trying to make the rest of the world gay. It's
like a South Park episode for crying out loud again.
(04:00):
Here's just some of the other things that I've just
grabbed as as a wait, ten million dollars for Mozambique,
voluntary medical mail circumcision. Ten million dollars to go snip
snip in Mozambique. Well they, I know, they can't find
(04:27):
some some I don't know, some Jewish rabbis or something
like that. They can, you know, maybe do this for
training down there. Ten million dollars again, people living intents
after national disasters, crumbling infrastructure here in the United States.
(04:49):
But what we have ten million dollars to play snip
snip in Mozambique. Nine point seven University account Foni Berkeley
develop a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills.
Two point three million strengthening independent voices in Cambodia. Thirty
(05:14):
two million to the Prague Civil Society Center. What the
flip is that? So check republic for crying out loud, Prague.
They got money there, they got tourism. Well, I don't know.
Here you go, here's thirty two million dollars. No, you
know what it goes to. As it goes to. What
happens is is that? And again, and don't make a suggestion.
(05:34):
You just click on anything or any of the groups
that are getting this money or businesses that are getting contracts,
especially the ones that are getting contracts. Look at their website.
Okay again, my website back from my Markowski investment website,
(05:56):
back from the nineteen nineties. It was better than many
of these things, which basically tells me their frauds, their fronts.
They're just collecting money. That's it, because why not, no
one's going to check. No one is going to check,
(06:17):
and that's what no one has been checking. And this
has allowed this to go on reminded me of reminding
me of a story. I'm going to share this with you. Yeah.
I actually use this in a piece years ago talking
about how various different mutual fund companies were ripping people
off with their little fees here and there, that they
(06:38):
were hiding all over the place. There's a story out
of room, I guess, going back, how to be like
two thousand and three, two thousand and four. You know,
three coins in a fountain, right you go to Rome, Italy,
go to the Trevy fountain and I know they're doing
work on it right now. Okay, tradition you throw coins
(07:00):
over your shoulder into the fountain and then again. Suppose
if you do that, then you will come back to
the eternal City and some other point in your life. Okay,
who got the money? All these people, these tourists in
Rome throwing money into that fountain all the time. This
(07:23):
turns out they found some guy. It was supposed to go.
All the money was supposed to go to some charity,
some charity for children in Rome. Who collected it? I
don't know, I don't know. Everybody check. Eventually they did.
Some guy went there on a regular basis every day
(07:44):
with a magnet and just took all the coins. No
one stopped them, Nobody did anything about it. Again, forget
it made us living off of that Again, this is
all this No one has bothered to check because everyone
is dirty. Everyone is wedding their beak. Forty million gender
(08:06):
Equality and Women Empowerment Hub. Fourteen million for improving public
procurement in Serbia to public procurement here in the United States.
Four and eighty six million to the Consortium for Elections
in Political Process Strengthening, including twenty two million for inclusive
(08:26):
and participatory political process in Moldova, twenty one million for
voter turnout in India, twenty nine million for strengthening the
political landscape in Bangladesh, twenty million for fiscal federalism in Nepal,
nineteen million for biodiversity conversation in Nepal, one point five
(08:51):
million for voter confidence in Liberia. Again, the list goes
on and on, and I more here. How about two
hundred and forty one million dollars in taxpayer funds used
to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals. Hey, FAUCI
(09:16):
authorize these, by the way, Yeah, yeah, Two and forty
one million dollars to mutilate animals. Okay, can't really make
this stuff up. I'm you know, island of Doctor Moreau
(09:38):
type stuff. Here. You're trying to make animals trans gender.
It's again, Tim Burchett is good. One of the good
guys represent Tim Burchett says, you know here they're looking
at a paper trail right now with money being sent
(10:00):
overseas and ending up in the pockets of lawmakers. He
happens to think you're going to see a lot of
resignations in Congress. Good. Good, But again you watch the
news media.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Well it's a little chaotic here and some again they
were almost because they fired some of the people from
the Nuclear Regulatory Agency and they were done by accident.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They were hired right back. Big deal, they were hired
back immediately. It was a mistake. You mean to tell
me this is not worth it, This is not I mean,
what what has been taking place? Again? It's gross Again
you think about again, I mentioned wasted talent. What we're
wasting here in this country by wasting are hard earned
(10:50):
tax dollars Watchdog on Wall Street dot com. Yeah, yeah,
despite all my rage, still just a rat in the cage.
Hopefully not for long again. Watchdog on wallstreet dot Com
