Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, no one authored investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trader.
Chris Markowski is the watchdog the Wall Street Do you
want to answer exposing the lines and myths that the
big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the government are
pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You can't handle the true.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Truth bringing America the truth about what really happens in
the financial world.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
but in political and economic reality.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Streets.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Okay, welcome everyone, well fired up today. We got so
much we've got to go over. I'm got to dive
right into it. Lots and lots of questions listener, do
listeners to the program, podcast, people seeing me on YouTube?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
All sorts of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
And the questions are, why are the markets doing this?
Why did they trade down today? And again I'm making fun.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
One of the things you need to understand is that
we here at the Watchdog on Wall Street Show and
Markowski Investments, we like to have fun.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
And we like to tease.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
And I love all of my new listeners, younger listeners
out there from all over the country. I'm gonna do
what we call busting stones, okay, because that's what I do.
They're newer to the program, and I think it's a
newer clients as well. When they see the markets sell

(01:45):
off and these big movements, and again you take a
look at the percentages, it's really not that big of
a deal. But I'm here to tell you I don't know.
I don't know, nor does anybody else snow, with any
sort of certainty whatsoever, why the markets do anything on

(02:07):
any given day. And that's part of the ruse. Oh
they're going to tell you that they know. Yeah, at
you know, four thirty market rap, They're gonna come up
with their explanations of why the markets did this, that
or the next thing.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
It doesn't work that way.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Markets can go up on a horrible news, markets can
go down on great news. And today's day and age,
with so many algorithms that are out there, various different
news stories could get pumped in start pushing the markets
in one direction.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Momentum starts going this way.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
There's no way anybody can answer that question, and you
don't need to.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
It's not important.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
For decades now, decades now, various different affiliates have asked me,
Chris Saw, would.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
You like to do you like to do a market
wrap for our station?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Go over what the Dow did then, ASDAC did, the
S and P did at four o'clock. No, now, people,
I'm here to tell you I, oftentimes more often than not,
I have no idea where the market clothes on that day.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I don't care. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
I don't have a million computer screens in my office,
a stock market ticker telling me where the various different
indices are. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. If you
are an intelligent investor, Timing the market is an absolute

(03:43):
exercise in futility. Okay, all of you knew investors out there,
new listeners to this. Okay, you don't know what you
don't know yet? Trying to trade the market again, you're
turning your portfolio into a casino.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Don't do that.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
With that being said, do I have ideas in regards
to what I see happening in the overall economy? With politics?
This is the things that we talk about here on
the program.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
I do.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
I do, But because we structure our portfolios in a
way that we like to call anti fragile to steal
from Nicholas Talub. We're going to be able to deal
with the ups and downs. We talk about that with
our UH are simple, the way that we handle our

(04:41):
clients' money. Okay, our personal CFO program, that's what it's
all about, dealing with the ups and the downs and
coming out on the other side stronger than.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
You were going in.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
And we open that up to everyone, the personal our
personal CFO program, and as it's it encompasses everything, and
that's why I invite everybody to take advantage of it.
It's absolutely free at our website.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Okay, let's take that. Let's let's put that aside.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Let's take a look at the big picture and the
things that are happening in this country. Because I get it.
It's like a fire hose every day. It really is
the amount of information that is coming out.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
I want to I.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Want to give you a line from this week that
it put a very very big smile on my face.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
It did.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
You had the Treasury Secretary of the United States come
out and say, and again it's got no press. He said,
our goal is to re privatize the economy. Re privatize
the economy. Now, let's go back in time. Okay, you

(05:59):
know what, we'll go back. We gonna go back various
different periods of time. I'm gonna go back to the
Obama years. Obama and his people and his ilk they
they believe, they believe that command and control economics, running
everything out of Washington, d C. The elites, picking and
choosing winners and losers is the way to go. It's

(06:21):
the way to go. It's almost as if Obama and
his people modeled their economic philosophy on China and what
China was doing at that point in time, and they
thought it was gonna work. They really did. If you remember,
you go back there, I don't forget any of this stuff.

(06:41):
Oh yeah, where it's gonna be. It's gonna be recovery summer.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Remember that. Remember it was like I was making fun
of us, Joe Biden going around It's recovery summer.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
It's like the summer of George from Seinfeld, and they
kept it's.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Just around the corner.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
We're gonna get back to this great economic growth that
we used.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
To have and never did, never did.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
It just was stagnant, slow, anemic growth. Countless columns on
this talking about how we're wasting our talent as a country,
talking about all of the red tape and regulations that
the Obama administration was putting up and what it was
going to do, and I was right, it was right,

(07:25):
And it's obvious every single time, you know, you get
the government involved, they're just going to make matters worse.
And eventually, by the end of Obama's second term, he
basically said, ah, you know, all that that strong economic
growth that the United States used to have. He basically said, no,
it's not real. That can't happen. We're never going back
to those days again. I see you kidding me. You

(07:49):
have got to be kidding me. So again, you take
a look at that, and then you see what happened
under Donald Trump in his first term, tax cuts, coming in,
looking to deregulate. Obviously, we ran into COVID in all
sorts of issues, and that was completely mismanaged. Reprivatizing our

(08:13):
economy is going back, going back to the way things
were at the beginning of the Reagan administration. Now at
the beginning, everybody looks back at the you know, the
Reagan years, and you take a look at the performance
of the stock market over his eight years and even
just his eight years because his philosophy still held true

(08:37):
through Clinton. Yeah, George H. W. Bush did some silly
things because of the stupid war in Iraq. Operation doesn't storm.
But then Clinton, Yeah, he kind of took up the mantle.
You go back, you take a look at the clips.
Many of the things that Donald Trump is doing right now.
Al Gore and Bill Clint we're.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Trying to do.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
And again again, I try to get your arms around that.
I know it's difficult, but yeah, Reagan came in, but
it was rough. First couple of years we had. Inflation
was completely out of control. Paul Vulker. Paul Vulker came
in the stamp out inflation and raise rates to the roof,

(09:22):
and we had a recession. We took two steps backwards,
but then we took quite a few steps forward. We
have been telling you for some time here on the program,
all of the numbers, all of the GDP numbers that
have been put out, all of the numbers when it

(09:44):
comes to employment in this country have been one big
fat fugacy. They're not real, not real. They were all
due to not all, but the economic growth. A lot
of it was due to government spending. And again We've
spent a lot thirty six trillion dollars in debt as

(10:08):
a nation, two trillion dollars in deficits, spend and spend
and spend some more, over and over and over, and
that has goosed the economy, that has goosed the employment
numbers here in this country.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
It's not real now. I warned you.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
I told you, I said things are going to change
when Trump comes in, They're going to change.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
We are probably going.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
To see I wouldn't be surprised at all if we
see a recession in the coming months.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Wouldn't be shocked in the slightest, nor would I care.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
The reality is we would have been in several recessions,
if not an extended one, if it wasn't for all
the ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Government spending that has been taking place.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Sessions need to happen when you do stupid stuff, and
we've done a lot of really dumb stuff. I've explained them.
They're like the lymphatic system to the human body. So
you're cutting out all of this government spending, you're getting
rid of wasteful government workers. You've got to take a
couple steps back, if you want to look at it

(11:22):
that way.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
To me. It's it's it's an advantage.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
We are going to come out on the other side
of this, leaner, meaner, stronger better. The real US economy,
the private sector has been weak week been week on,

(11:48):
the service barely growing at all, completely sustained by unsustainable
fiscal policy.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
You watch them, I've got a chance.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Watched Elon Musk address the cabinet leading this past week.
How could you disagree with anything that he said? How
again they try? I mean again, They love their the
mainstream media loves their little fact checkers. How do you

(12:25):
fact check something that is completely true? The problem is
the powers that be. They don't like this. They don't
like this. They've been living office the parasite class, government workers,
politicians for decades now. I've been talking about the watchdog

(12:47):
on Wall Street, access of evil, big business, the politicians,
and the media work in hand and hand to further
their own needs and wants. That parasite class that goes
the way. Man, you have no idea. You again, you
can close your eyes and you can think about what

(13:08):
this country is capable of doing. And quite frankly, we
should be excited about this. We should be thrilled to
do all of these things. But I'm telling you right now,
it's not going to be easy. Now on the surface,

(13:31):
you're seeing these ridiculous politicians. It's named Jasmine Crockett and
aok and all of these others, Elizabeth Warren, all these
other bomb throwing fools, and they're just making fools out
of themselves. Be aware, Okay, you don't have to fear
the Democrats when it comes to this. Who you're going
to have to fear is the Republicans. Yeah, that's right,

(13:56):
the Republicans. I'm talking about the Republicans. I've been going
off on here on program for years. I want to
remind you I'm not a member of any political party.
I left the Republican Party because of this exact reason.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
They lie. They like the deep state too. I call
them the.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Blue Blood country Club Republicans. And I want you to
think of the movie Caddie Shack. Remember Judge Smailes and
Doctor Beeper in that crowd. Well, Donald Trump is like
Rodney Dangerfield's character. He's al cervic coming in and disrupting
the whole thing. And they don't want it disrupted. They

(14:37):
like their little system. They like their wasteful spending. Oh
you see Republicans come out. Well, you know, so of
these USA programs are really good. They like hand in
out stupid jobs to their stupid relatives and their stupid friends,
no show jobs that you and I have to pay for.

(14:57):
It is going to be a fight, you know. I
was talking about it this past week. I was asked
my opinion how Trump should handle us. I'm telling you
right now what Trump and the.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
The honest Republicans need to do.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
They need to get together with the Democrats that want
to go back to the old way, the Clinton ways
in regards to cutting spending and growing the economy. They're
out there, they don't have a home. Right now, you
can get them to come over and be a bit

(15:34):
of a firewall against all of the rhinos that are
gonna push back against this. We got a real shot
to turn this country around. It's exciting stuff, really is. Anyway,
I'm gonna take quick break right here. Watchdog on Wall
Street dot com. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com is

You're listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, welcome back, everybody.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I I wrote a column this is right before we
actually had this radio show. This is going back to
nineteen ninety nine, and it was entitled crystal Ball. I've
talked about it here on the program, and basically people
asking why the market do this? What's the direction of

(17:11):
the market, where do you see the market? And same
questions back in the nineteen nineties, the same questions that
I'm getting today from people. And I wrote a column
back then titled crystal Ball, and I said, okay, okay, guys,
I'm going to look into my crystal ball. Oh oh

(17:34):
uh oh, jeez, oil boy, My crystal ball is telling
me interest rates are going to.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Go much much, much much higher. Wow.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
I mean we're talking you know, prime rate, you know,
upwards eighteen twenty percent. Uh oh, My crystal ball says,
unemployment's going to go way up.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
We're going to see some businesses fall yep.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Banks are going to fail We're going to see some terrorism,
there's going to be a big stock market crash.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
All all sorts of things.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
They're gonna have, presidents gonna get shot. I wrote this
again November nineteen ninety nine, and my question was, then,
how many of you want to put money to work now?
How many of you want to start investing now? Well,
the joke was and the column is that my crystal

(18:31):
ball didn't tell the future. My crystal ball told the past.
That I just describe events and things that happened during
the nineteen eighties when Ronald Reagan was president, where the
market showed an average of eighteen percent a year. Now

(18:55):
it's a little different nowadays. And again the media is
trying to collect itself in ways that they can go
after the current administration and stop all this because again
they're a part of it. They're a part of the
watchdog on Wall Street, access of evil. They are working
right now. I'm just telling you they're working right now.
They have columns and articles ready to go, ready to

(19:21):
go on any sort of weakness in the economy and
to place blame on Trump and it's his fault and
it's his ideas, and oh my god, we're falling apart.
Did you see the consumer confidence number came out this
past week, consumer confidence, and that was like a headline
everywhere the consumer confidence number are Are you kidding me again?

(19:47):
I want to remind everybody, Okay, you got to understand.
You have to understand what we're doing. We're gonna have
to take a couple steps backward to take many steps
forward looking at an opportunity again. This is this is it, people, Okay,
this is it. You want to get rid of the blob.

(20:08):
You want to get rid of the bureaucracy. You want
to you want again, you want to put us on
a sustainable fiscal path. You want your kids, your grandkids
to grow up in a country that's not gonna go bankrupt.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
This is it. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Watchdog on Wall street dot com again, our personal CFO program,
our podcast, newsletter, all sorts of great stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Watchdog on Wall street dot com. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You're listening to the watch Dog on Wall Street, taking

(20:59):
Wall Streets liars, crooks, and sheets out behind the woodshed.
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
So past week I got invited on a market podcast
called Future's Edge with Jim Yorio and Bob It's you know,
and I gotta say I loved it. And again I'm
starting to rethink, so trying to rethink my various different
appearances that I go on around the country, because again,

(21:30):
I just love I've always loved the radio format better.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Than anything else.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
But the podcast thing is is great to sit down
have a lengthy conversation about things.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
It's just it's a thousand times better than TV. It
really is.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah, it was great to talk with these guys, and
you know, you look them up, you're going to see
they're very familiar their regulars on CNBC and Fox Business.
And we're just talking about various different things in the market,
how they're asking me and what we do at Markowski
Investments and dealing with high flyers in the stock market,
and you know, how we manage our clients' money. Now,

(22:07):
Bob in this case, he's an active, active trader, and
you know, I basically explained to him and we've we've
talked about here on the program. We're dealing with positions
on the way up and trimming positions and reallocating assets
and all of these things. And he was like, wow,
you're very similar to what you know good active traders do.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
And he's not wrong. It's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
You have to have a system, you have to have rules,
and you have to follow them. As soon as you
start breaking rules, as soon as you start thinking that
you are smarter than you actually are, that's when you
get killed.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
And I've talked about that when Stanley.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Druckenmiller again one of the greats, when the all time
greats screwed up, screwed up, he went crazy, put billions
in dollars, work in dot com companies. What was it
like in nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and lost billions.
And he actually was one of the guys that actually
came out as I got a great deal of respect
for him, said, I didn't learn a damn thing. I

(23:13):
didn't learn a damn thing because you know what, I
knew what I was doing was wrong at the time,
and I did it anyway. It's kind of like, you know,
human beings. It's like you know, we we sin. We
know what we're doing is we're not supposed to do it.
It's gonna upset God, but we do it anyway. It's
just you need to follow certain rules, and if you

(23:33):
do that you'll be successful. And we also, you know,
talked about speculation on the program, something I talked about
here as well, and whether it be cryptocurrencies and various
different other things, real estate, whatever it may be.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
And I explained them the same thing.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I said, anything that certain clients of mine when they're
capable of and there it's okay for them based upon
their fiscal situation. And there again, everyone's unique and different.
You go into anything speculative knowing that you could lose
every dime, that that is the money that you think of, said,

(24:12):
you know what, you're at a casino, okay, But you're
an intelligent gambler where you say, hey, you know what, Hey,
I'm going to have a good time. It's something I enjoy.
I'm going to gamble two hundred dollars. If I make money, great,
If I lose two hundred, you know, it was my
entertainment money.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
That's how you handle speculation.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Too many people are not doing that right now, and
I'm again, I gotta deal with the issues. I'm down
fifty percent, I'm down seventy percent. And the funny thing
is is that a lot of the youngsters out there,
they think that this is new and different, and we
were joking around on the program because we're all old.

(24:54):
This is nothing new, this Robinhood stuff, all of this
active trade, it's taken place. Same thing happened, Same thing
happened during the nineteen nineties Stewart from AMERI Trade and
E Trade and all these discount houses that came out
of nowhere and everyone was gonna get rich overnight. There
was an actual E Trade center. I've talked about this

(25:17):
in Midtown Manhattan. I called it was like a casino.
People were going in and out of their trading. The
owner of E Trade it was Christo's Couldsack. I'm trying
to remember his name. At the time, he put a
book out, handing out his book on the street and
how everybody can go in there and make a fortune. Right,
he owned a casino. People weren't investing, they were game.

(25:41):
They were speculating with money that they shouldn't speculate with.
This brings me to something that we've been talking about,
not only on the podcast but here on the radio
show for weeks now. Private equity and all of these
alternative investments, private equity funds that are popping up here,

(26:04):
there and everywhere. I myself received this past week seventy
five offers to take me out to dinner.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
I kid you not.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
From various different private equity fund to fund private equity
firms wanting to get my clients involved. My brothers and
I have been spending a lot of time, okay, looking
looking for something decent in this arena. Yeah, we have

(26:43):
found some things. But again, I know I'm on this program.
I warn everyone, I'm here to tell you ninety eight
ninety nine percent of these funds are garbage in more
ways than one. Some of them are garbage based upon

(27:04):
the various different private equity funds that they're made up
of and the type of investments that they have made.
It's basically a pump and dump scheme. Some of them
are absolute garbage based upon the fees that they're charging.
So you need to be very very careful. I'm gonna
take a quick break right here, and we're gonna talk
a little bit more about this when we get back,

(27:26):
because we get a lot of questions about this. Watchdog
on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com is
our site again our personal CFO program become a part
of our family at Markowski Investments. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com.
Give us a give us a ring as well. Eight
hundred four seven one eighty four. We're here to help.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Don't go anywhere. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
What about everybody?

Speaker 4 (28:11):
It is.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
The Watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Show listen some of the some of the alternative investments
that we've been using for certain clients. And again, it's
not for everyone. Okay, so do me a favor. Okay,
you're just getting started, you're building up your portfolio. And again,

(28:35):
we help everyone out here at Markowski Investments. Don't go
calling me up asking me if I can get you
in some of these private equities.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Okay, it's not for you, and you have to be
very very scared. And again they're trying to mass market
this to everything everyone out there. And again, I've seen
this movie before and I know how it ends. It's
like King Kong, the monk he dies in the end.
You're going to lose money if you don't know what
you're doing. But the nice shiny bro sure that they

(29:08):
put out there, and it was advertised in the Wall
Free Journal. Please people, okay, please all right again I
know I'm going to be cleaning up a mess with
all this stuff over the next several years.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Just don't be a part of it. Don't be a
part of it.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I have covered private equity and what they do for
a very long time. It was funny there was a
story today and was talking about how private equity played
a role in the demise of Red Lobster and TGI
Fridays they're bankruptcies, and I'm laughing because.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
They buy these companies up, and then they what they
do is they put all of the debt that they
borrowed to buy these companies on the company's balance sheet,
and then, in the case of these restaurants, they own
the real estate, and then they sell the real estate
and then they do a lease back at a higher rate.
It's again, they act like parasites and they suck the

(30:08):
money out of these companies.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
I wrote a lengthy piece on this, what was it.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Two thousand and six entitled Financial Parasites versus Gordon Gecko,
And you know, I want to mention Gordon Gecko. Gordon
Gecko and the movie Wall Street. He was well, he
was an insider trader, but he was also it's also
a you know, in essence of private equity guy, corporate raider.

(30:34):
And you know, back in the eighties, corporate raiders, for
the most part, they.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Were they weren't bad.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
They were going into companies and they were fixing them
and repairing them. And somebody might remember the RJR. Nabisco deal.
They made a movie about that, Barbarians at the Gate
with James Garner. But again, listen, most of these things
right now are done by private equity companies that are
out there to destroy, and now they've taken it not

(31:04):
just to destroying the companies that they're taking over, they're
looking to flip garbage companies on the general public.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
And you need to be very, very wary.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Okay, you've been warned, Okay, the past several weeks have
been warned. Okay, we know the ones, we know the
good ones, and we know the bad ones. So again,
if you want to figure this out, you want to
do things the right way, might I suggest giving us
a buzz go onto our website, Watchdog.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
On wallstreet dot com, and we will help you.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Watchdog on wallstreet dot com. That's Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Street, the only
man who is taking on the Wall Street establishment. You're

(32:05):
listening to the Watchdog and Wall Street with Chris Markowski,
sponsor work.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Back is the watchdog on a Wall Street show. All right, okay, listen,
we you know, I've had this radio show for twenty
five years. We have Markowski Investments thirty plus years, and
we have grown this company brick by brick over time,

(32:34):
people listening to the program, seeing us on TV, us
having great advisors come over working underneath our umbrella here.
But yeah, we get tons and tons of accounts people
looking for help on a regular basis. And let me

(32:55):
just put you this way. Okay, if we take a look,
we take a look at someone's portfolio, and we don't
see any problem with anything that they're doing because there's
again I'm gonna no illusion. Okay, there are great advisors
around the country. There are there are some great advisors

(33:18):
out there, and we see that, Hey, listen, your advisor's
doing a great job. We're gonna let you know so
you don't need you really don't need to change anything.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
This guy's doing a great job.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
And actually, what we tend to do is say Hey, listen,
ask your advisor if you'd like to come over and
work with us. Let me tell you something where that
never happens. Okay, it doesn't happen with people working with
insurance agents. And all of our years and all of
our years, have I never said, hey, oh yeah, your

(33:51):
insurance guys doing the right thing by you.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Never.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Never I talked about this, and many occasions here in
the program. I always like to equate the insurance guys
as needle nosed Ned Ryerson from the movie groundhog Day.
Remember him feel feel conners is that you and tries
to sell them all sorts of insurance that he doesn't need.

(34:18):
Some of the disasters that I see some of the
I mean young people being loaded up.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
They've got whole life, they've got term life, they've got disability,
and they don't even have any kids. Some aren't even married.
For crying out loud, why would you do that? Well,
I know why they do that.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
They're all high commission products and then you know, change jobs,
roll into their ridiculous portfolio management crap that they got
out there paying almost two percent.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
In management fees. People listen.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
And remember the character Nick Riviera and the Simpson here's
the bad doctor on the Simpsons, doctor Nick. The navy
bone connected to the something, the other thing connected to
the other thing.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
You know that that Nick Revere.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
You're working with an insurance broker, one of these insurance
big insurance companies. You're working with doctor Nick Rivier.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
You are.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
You're working with doctor Nick Revere, and you don't have to.
And the problem is many people do this because they
don't feel like they're they have a large enough account
to work with the CFP, to work with a registered
investment advisory. And in many cases that's true. Man, these
great advisors out there. I disagree with them. I get

(35:41):
into arguments with them all the time. But again, it's
their practice. They can do whatever they want with it.
They don't want to talk to people unless they've got
five million, ten million dollars. That's not us. We're here
to help everyone. Got a kick out of this story.
I want to share it with you. Merrill Lynch, Meryll Lynch,

(36:03):
find over IPO trades.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Listen to this.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
The firm accepted market orders of equity new issues prior
to the opening of trading on the secondary market. Basically, people, again,
this is ladding. Okay, what this is this is what
all of the boiler rooms were doing. If you watch
the movie boiler Room or Wolf on Wall Street, boiler

(36:31):
Room does a better job explaining how it's done. It's
the exact same thing, except obviously they're doing it on
a larger scale. So what they do is is they all,
we got this hot new issue coming out.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
And they go to all their clients.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
They say, well, we can get you some at the
initial price, but you should probably buy more when it opens.
And what they do is they collect all of these
orders and they know based upon that where the stock
is going to go. And by knowing the future when
it comes to the markets. Remember Biff Mary, what was

(37:10):
Biff with his almanac in Back to the Future too,
but he was using it to gamble. They're able to
profit from it a great deal, and again it drives
the price up in an artificial manner.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
I say this to people all the time.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
You're getting involved in IPOs and buying it after it opens.
The owners of the company, we're willing to sell that
company for let's say twenty dollars a share that given day,
Why are you buying it for forty on that very
same day.

Speaker 5 (37:44):
That doesn't make any sense, does it.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
But again, that's that's how investment banking, and that's how
the big firms work, that's how they operate, and this
is why you have to be very, very careful. And
again we've talked about this as well. This is not
the nineteen nineties, where at least you were able to

(38:09):
get involved and invest in a lot of these startup
companies closer to the ground floor, If not the ground floor,
you're investing.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Five ten years down the road.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Now, sometimes that's okay if the company makes sense and
it's priced properly.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
But what we have seen.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Over the past ten to fifteen years, more often than that.
When I'm talking more often than that, i'm talking ninety
percent or more, these companies are not priced properly. You
are overpaying. And all you're doing is you're getting the
insiders out, you're getting the private equity out, you're getting
the venture capitalists out of their position. That's all this

(38:55):
money is not going to increase the company's value.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
They're not using to invest. All you're doing is buying
someone else's shares.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
No plano. You gotta be aware of all of this stuff.
Gotta take him on the break. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com is our site again. Get
there a personal CFO program, podcast, all sorts.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Of great stuff Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Or give us a call eight hundred four seven four.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street. Well No
one author, investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trainer, Chris Markowski

(39:52):
is the Watchdog on Wall Street. Do you want to
answers exposing the lines and myths that the big brokerage,
the mainstream press, and the government are pushing to keep
Americans away from financial freedom.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
You can't handle the truth.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
financial world.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're out here to indulge in fantasy,
but in political and economic reality.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Streets.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Are right, Welcome back, everybody. I got to talk quickly
about the how the media works. And again I've got
a lot of media stories We're going to get to
a little bit later on in the program.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
But I.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Why people will ask questions, Well, if Chris you know
again and I get it's a good question.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
Okay, Well, why would why would Wall Street Journal?

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Why why would they accept advertising from all of these kids?

Speaker 5 (40:55):
Why wouldn't they look into this? Well? Why why, you know,
why won't they cover this stuff?

Speaker 4 (41:00):
And I get this all the time. I mean, how
many how many big scams and ripoffs and whatnot have
we covered here? Frauds, I mean frauds that we've covered
here on the program for over twenty five years, even
prior to it countless again, prior Tosh and Run covered
that dot com collapse, Subprime clib we covered it all.

(41:25):
And it's not a bad question, Chris, why wouldn't the
media cover these things? The media, the media is in
the news is bought and sold like anything else.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
And I know you think that, yeah, oh yeah, they're
a journalists.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
No, no, they're bought and sold like anything else. Or
Rogan talking on his podcast, he finally again he got
red piled. He finally saw it, talking about all the
media networks going right along with big pharma when it
comes to the vaccines. So give any idea how much

(42:08):
money I mean, you see it, how much money the
pharmaceutical company spend on advertising on these networks. It's a fortune. Now,
he figured that out, But we had it figured out
a long time ago. I got a hold of an
advertising contract back in two thousand and five. Between it

(42:31):
was actually between Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley and the big
networks out there. And again at the time, Morgan Stanley
was running these advertisements that made me sick to my stomach.
It was this at your side campaign where they're trying
to protel Oh, Morgan Stanley financial Advisor is actually a
trusted member of the family.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
He's had a wedding reception there.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Again, I made me nauseous, makes me nauseous even thinking
about this nonsense because again messes that I've had to
clean up because I'm Morgan Stanley. Well, as it turned out,
Morgan Stanley again they spent a lot of money advertising
on these networks, and again these were advertisements where there

(43:15):
was really no call to action in the ads. And
as it turned out, in the advertising contract it said specifically,
if you're planning any negative editorial coverage whatsoever of our firm,
pull all of our ads.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Now do you.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Think that the brass, the higher ups at ABCNBCCBS, Fox,
whatever it may be, you think they want those ads pulled?

Speaker 5 (43:45):
No?

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Way, no way, no, how listen, I've experienced this personally.
I'm on radio stations all over the country, all over
the country. And take a look at the lineups to
some of these radio stations, and you should see some
of the shysters and the frauds and the bad stockbrokers

(44:07):
and advisors that are running programs here. I call the
station I used to, I don't even do it anymore
because it's not going to get me anywhere.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
It's an exercise of futility.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
They'll put you on air you got you got a
few bucks, you want to buy your own show, no
qualifications whatsoever. And they washed their hands of it like
punch as pilot. They washed their hands of it. Well,
I was just, you know, we're just running it. I mean,
don't you feel responsible for what you're putting on air?
It's crazy that they don't.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
They don't.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
All your news is fit to be bought and sold, folks,
And that that's just the reality. And I've always bring
this up sub reference the great advertising television show Madmen,
where right there on the show it was funny take
the head of the ad agency was bragging, bragging, I
could get to New York Times to print mind comp

(44:59):
on their front pages.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
I spend so much money there. That's true. It's true.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
It's true then, even though it was a fictional show,
and it's it's true now. Anyway, we've got to talk
more about the Media'll get into a little bit later
on the program.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
I have to talk.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
I gotta talk to my fellow taxpayers, my fellow taxpayers, guys.
I mean, it's you feel beat up. I got it's
we're even defiled.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
We have been defiled.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
And you know I over the years, we cover we
cover the pig book, we cover Ran Paul's stuff.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
We talk about all sorts of government wastes.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Pentagon, Pentagon, you know, can't pass an audit. We can
go on and on and on, all of this nonsense,
all this nonsense, and again the hits keep coming. Nancy Pelosi,
Nancy Pelosi getting fourteen million dollars from USAID for her vineyard.

(46:13):
Nancy Pelosi, she is not the wealthiest member of Congress,
so she's up there close to the top. She took
your tax dollars, she took my tax dollars. And again
they're they're telling you it's okay, it's okay, shut up
and keep giving to him. Shut up, you stupid peasants.
Shut up, you stupid fools. You please your little peasants,

(46:36):
you little pikers out there. We'll take your tax dollars
and we'll spend it, just like we see fit Kennedy family.
Do you know that we have this thing that's called
the Institute of Peace? These are people, These are like
money laundering operations. Again, this is money laundry. Yeah, it

(47:01):
was funny. I was gonna play it on the air today,
but the clip lasted went a little bit too long.
And the Second Lethal Weapon movie, do you remember, there
was an accountant played by Joe Peshi named Leo Getz
and he's explaining to Mel Gibson and Danny Glover's character,
how you laund your money?

Speaker 5 (47:20):
It's like and this I did, and they're like trying
to follow along.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
It's the exact playbook that happens right now in Washington, DC.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
It's insane.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
How about this, How about how about we spend you
and I are spending ten you excited, pee ay top
the little taxpayer? Do you like spending ten thousand dollars
on Hdmi cables that you could get at Best Buy
for twenty bucks? You see, that's money laundering. Okay, that's

(47:58):
money That's that's all it is. It's the person that
they're buying a company that they're buying the HDMI cables
for they probably donated, well, they did. They donated money
to the right politician to get that contract. They gave
them money, They overcharge and they get their money. It's
an investment to them. There's a hotel. I'm explained to that.

(48:22):
There's a whole there's a hotel and my old town
up on Long Island. And I'm not going to mention
the name or anything like that, but it's run by
the mafia. It's run by the mafia. The place is
you know, the few people there every now and then.
It's been there forever. It's on an unbelievable piece of land,
and they just they run money through it saying it's.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
Full all the time.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
That's exactly what it is. And that's exactly what these
people are doing. Hey do you like this, fellow taxpayers?

Speaker 5 (48:55):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Rand Paul put this out surprised because I've covered this before.
He didn't I guess he didn't know this was the
case that we're actually giving foreign aid to China. That's right,
we are again, fellow taxpayers out there, You know, you
and I. You and I out there busting our butts
every day, doing what we can, doing.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
The right thing, paying our taxes, and we're giving it
to China.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Basically, are making our government so stupid that we are
borrowing money from China to give it to China while
paying interest on that money. But no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, we can't put a stop to this.
We've gotta we gotta keep the scam going. How about
the how about the world's greatest Bond villain?

Speaker 5 (49:47):
Great? You know Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
I guess he just finally rested control for the James
Bond franchise because Amazon bought it. Honestly, if they're redod
James Bond, they should make George Soro the villain.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
He's worse.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
He's worse than Blowfeld, He's worse than Goldfinger for crying
out loud.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
You want to see how crooked I can. You gotta
see how smart he is.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
George sorows got two hundred and sixty million dollars of
your money, of my money? Oh yeah, yeah, so he
can go around and push for these uh left left,
left wing wacko prosecutors there so we can crime run
rampant in all of these streets, because again, his modus

(50:37):
operendi is to see this country fall apart. That's that's
what he wants so he and his buddies and the
elites can take over.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
He's a barn villain. How about this? Uh oh yeah,
oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
How about the billions, the billions and billions of tax
dollars that we sent goodness of our heart as tax
to Haiti, to Haiti where to come?

Speaker 5 (51:05):
Not to Haiti? No, No, it ended up.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
I ended up, the Clinton Foundation, ended up in all
of these NGOs in and around Washington, DC.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
You know. Again, talk about racketeering.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
And in the movie Godfather to him and Roth trying
to set up the deal there before Castro with Bautista
and Cuba, you know, and it's this dream to find
a partnership with a friendly government. Well again, gotta hand
it to these elites. They found one in Haiti.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Same thing. They got a deal there.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
I just hey, we'll take taxpayer dollars, we'll funnel it
through Haiti. But we don't funnel it through Haiti. We
just keep it here. Same scam. I mean, I can
go on and on and on. Uh seventeen million dollars
for a puppet show, a puppet show that got less
than two hundred views on YouTube. Again, you work hard,

(52:07):
I work hard, and we're just perpetually being defiled. All
of this stuff has to go away. It has to stop.
And I know you're gonna hear this thuff, Well, what
about what about the what about all that aid? It's
getting cut off from Africa and people are gonna die?

Speaker 5 (52:28):
And oh that they're saying that stuff all the time.
Now people are dying. These were literally people are literally dying.
They're literally dying everywhere.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
Yet John Kerrey said that millions of people are literally
dying of climate change every year. I mean, these people
are just nuts cuckoo for cocoa puffs. But again they
keep saying it. So there's obviously ab junk morons all
over the place that actually believe this. Bs So Trump said, yeah,
you know what, we're cutting off African eight good? Oh yeah,

(52:59):
Oh no, I'm not heartless, I'm not mean Okay. What
I know is is that Africa has Hey, they got
a lot of resources on that continent. By no means whatsoever,
should that be an impoverish content? Shouldn't shouldn't be but
what they have in Africa does They have oligarchs, and

(53:21):
they have these rulers that take the aid that we
send and they put it in their pockets and they
send it over to Switzerland or wherever it may be,
because eventually they'll get deposed, but at least they'll have you.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
Know, they'll have money in the bank. And you go
back to that old UH.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Sam Kittison bit about sending aid to Africa and sending
them U hauls and moving them to where the food
is one of the best comedy skits, stand up routines
they've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
Classic. Was he wrong? No?

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Now it's actually again I mentioned this before. It's written
by African economists talking about all the uh mosquito nets
that Bono and his group would send to Africa and
the mess that it caused for their economy, because what
it did was is that all here comes Bono and
he's giving away mosquito nets to people to help prevent malaria.

(54:17):
He thinks he's doing the right thing, but he's not
thinking it through. You're giving away free mosquito nets, but
what about the companies that are there in Africa that
make mosquito nets, that employ people there well, you just
put them out of business because you're giving them away
for free.

Speaker 5 (54:35):
Aid. No, no, no, you teach people.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
You want you want to, you want to help people out.
Export capitalism. I've been saying that for decades. Export capitalism
help people to grow and build businesses so they can
survive on their own. That's how it works. We have
a system that works when apply properly.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
Throwing money at situation. Done, help.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
Done, help usaid. Give me a break, So show me
some successes. Please show me they can't. All they keep
doing is rant and raving. Oh my god, people are dying.
Uh huh uh huh Sure anyway, gotta take a break.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on wallstreet dot com

again our site become a part of the Watchdog on
Wall Street family.

Speaker 5 (55:30):
Markowski Investments, personal.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
CFO program, our podcast, our news, all sorts of great
great stuff Watchdog on Wall Street dot com or give
us a call eight four seven four.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
You should believe in math, not magic. You're mistake to
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
Welcome back to do another.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Another great great idea that I've been pushing for is
shutting down the post office. Yeah, yeah, I got like
public enemy in the back of my head. Shut it down,
shut it down, shut it shut it down. Oh awesome, awesome,
How pathetic and sad?

Speaker 5 (56:29):
How pathetic and sad.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
You have a monopoly over the United States of America
on delivering letters, I mean, outside of obviously ups and
fed actually pretty much have a monopoly. And you can't
get it right. You run a god awful service. Go
to the post office. Oh my god, it's brutal. It's brutal. Oh,

(56:53):
I've got horror stories. Oh okay, but yeah, yeah, privatize it, okay.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
Playing to me?

Speaker 4 (57:00):
How I can I could go right now, I could
go onto my Amazon account and I could order. I
don't know, I'm out of vitamin D. It'll be at
my house this afternoon. How do they do that?

Speaker 5 (57:12):
I don't know what they do. And it's awesome. It's awesome.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
I know can shut down and people are gonna get
Tom to give me a break. It will be handled
and it will be handled properly. I've talked about this episode.

Speaker 5 (57:29):
And you got it. You can go online, you can
watch it.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
It was a Seinfeld episode back in the nineties where
Kramer tried to cancel his mail.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
He was so fed up with all of the junk.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Mail and all of the catalogs that he was getting
so tired of it he tried to cancel his mail
and it became like a big conspiracy.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Newman is like, Oh, you can't do that. You don't understand.
You're messing around with forces here that you just don't understand.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
And actually had Wilford Brimley on as the head of
the Postal Service, and I had him like a room minister,
You're not canceling your mail. At every point that Kramer
made there back in the nineteen nineties was accurate about
the mail. And again I remember youngsters out there when
email first came around, the Postal Service wanted to start

(58:15):
charging for people's email. I kid you not, because they knew.
But they didn't make any adjustments. They didn't improve their service,
They didn't do what was necessary. Why because it's bloat.
They don't have to Why because the taxpayers are going
to bail it out. You and I are going to
bail it out. Shut it down. But then the Commerce Secretary,

(58:35):
Howard Lutnik, this is genius, Okay, he just announced plans
to use the postal services great to conduct the census
instead of wasting billions of dollars. He also wants the
US Postal Service to replace twenty thousand Social Security workers.
And I quote, we spend forty billion dollars every ten years.

(58:58):
Think about that, forty billion dollars every ten years doing
the census, hiring six hundred and twenty five thousand people.
Gotta spend money on cars, gas, food to count people.
You already got six hundred thousand plus people the Postal Service.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
Why not have them do it? Same thing with Social Security.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
Again becoming more efficient, saving US money. But again, bureaucracies
don't like that. Okay, they they're again they're like the
Steve McQueen blob. I've described this before. They just want
to get bigger and bigger and bigger, and they are
gonna push back. These are powerful, powerful forces, and again.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
I I love what they're doing right now.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Okay, it could be one of the greatest things that
could ever happen to this country.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Anyway we get back, what are we gonna talk about?

Speaker 4 (59:55):
Oh, we gotta talk about Elon and his five reasons. Yeah,
everybody up in arms about that nuts. Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com, Watchdog at Wallstreet dot com again. Has our
site become a part of our family personal CFO program
all sorts of great stuff. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Chris Morkowski is the Watchdog on Wall Street bringing America

(01:00:38):
financial freedom. One listener at a time. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Borkowski.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
Oh yeah again. I you know, I can't help myself.
I can I do some reference often, as my long
time listeners know, and one that I've gone back to
again and again and again is The Bobs.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
The Bobs from Office Space.

Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
And if you haven't seen the movie, it's it's a
good one. So I go again. I'll explain it to you.
This These the Bobs, they came in their consultants coming
into company and they're interviewing the employees and basically they
asked them, what exactly do you say you do here?
And it's it's funny because they have these employees coming

(01:01:31):
in and some of them freaking out whatsoever because they
really don't do much, and they're asking questions, well, you know,
can't you're you know, you're having your secretary do all
the work, and what exactly do you say you do here,
and in essence, again, I thought what Elon Musk did
asking people to give you five things that they did

(01:01:53):
over the course of the week was great. It was
great in more ways than one, more ways than one. Yeah,
do I believe that people are probably getting paychecks that
are probably not even there.

Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
That was in office space too.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
They actually had a worker there in the office that
was again it was fired, but you didn't know it,
and due to an error, that was still getting paid.
I'm sure this is happening, basically checking the same people
are even there at work, and also kind of a
bit of a wake up call saying, hey, you know what,
we're gonna start watching you now.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
Job security.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
I I've talked about this as well. I don't believe
in job security. Job security is against my belief system. Okay, nobody,
nobody should have job security.

Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
Oh that's right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
You should get up every single day thinking that you
know what if I, if I don't do my job
well today, I might lose it. And if you think
that way, gee whiz, guess what, You're gonna be pretty productive.
This was an email that Steve Jobs put out. It
was his birthday this past week late, great Steve Jobs.

(01:03:10):
He put it out January of two thousand and two.
Subject was Aristotle. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then,
is not an act but a habit. Yeah, that's what
we want. We want excellence. We want you to do
your job. And to watch watch all of these government

(01:03:35):
workers and they're putting out videos on YouTube.

Speaker 5 (01:03:40):
Crying and complain.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
I can't believe that they've been asked to write five
things down? How dare how dare you want to do that?
This is terrible. You you get money from the taxpayer.
Is it really too much to ask? Because this happens

(01:04:02):
in the private sector all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:04:07):
Why are you exempt from this? Your public sector workers?

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
You guys get paid more, you get more benefits, you
get more time off, more job protections, all that stuff.
But that's too much to ask, too much, too much
for you to do right And now now people are
getting laid off and you're watching them flip out, and

(01:04:33):
they're putting these putting out these videos, and they're going
to going to the Senate and they're going to their
congressmen and they're crying and they're complaining. Suck it up, Buttercup,
suck it up all your wine and in comply, you
guys are going to be in trouble. Okay, you better
you better have a quick change of heart, a quick

(01:04:56):
mind change if you want to go out and get
yourself a job.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
And no, no, I don't feel sorry, I don't. I don't.
You may think that your job was very, very useful.

Speaker 4 (01:05:09):
I know the reality is it wasn't, because if if
you really were that important, they'd hire you back. When
they fired some people that shouldn't have been fired, they
were hired back immediately.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
Sorry, we screwed up there.

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
If you're really that good, if you're really that important,
really that necessary, if you were essential the old essential
worker bit. They always talk of that about when there's
government shutdowns. Oh no, the government's gonna get shut down.
The government's gonna get shut down. Then all these people
are not gonna be able to.

Speaker 5 (01:05:43):
Go to work. Then all the it's just essential workers,
they're gonna be there.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Let me let me explain to you something how it
works at Markowski Investments and the Watchdog on Wall Street Show.
We only have essential workers. We only have essential workers.
If you're not essential, you're gone. You're gone. So now
you've learned something. Now you've learned something. Now you go out, Okay,

(01:06:11):
you stop whining, you stop you stop complaining, You work
on your resume, and you change your attitude. You need
an attitude adjustment, and you go on your next job,
and you make damn sure that you're essential. You make
damn sure you're essential. And guess what.

Speaker 5 (01:06:30):
You'll get.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
You'll get retained. That's the reality. That's the world. That's
how that how the world works. Not the magical neighborhood
of make believe known as Washington, DC, which is coming down.
They're a little made up make believe world. They're big club.
It's falling apart and I love it. Watchdog on Wall

(01:06:53):
Street dot com. Watchdog on wallstreet dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
Don't go anywhere. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Taking Wall streets liars, crooks and cheets out behind the woodshed.
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
I got I got folders on my computer of you know,
columns that I started that I never finished and whatnot.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
And I'm watching.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Watching these fools, fools crying and doing all this stuff.
Government workers here complaining and again, people like I said, change.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
Change your attitude.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
Okay, you know get get the hair dye out, and
no more blue and red hair. Okay, take the five
earrings out of your nose, okay, and get to work
and get to work. And I was thinking about it
and watching these people, and it's sad. It's sad. And listen, listen,

(01:08:12):
you need help, you want, I'll put you in the
right direction. I'll tell you what you need to do.
But it's you're not gonna get people taken up because
these people are like cult members. And remember I started
a piece probably about thirteen fourteen years ago.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
It's called the dumb Donkey Cult. We are special.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
Our leaders are there though, they're the new Messiah, and
they they have they're the ones with the wisdom. They're
the ones with the wisdom. Our organization, our people, we're wonderful.
We're sleeping the world. We're gonna usher in a new era,
a new age of peace and enlightenment. We've been trained

(01:08:57):
in ways that nobody else has. That these people they
actually think that what they're doing is some sort of
higher purpose than anything or anyone else is doing. Other
Other people out there, oh there living, breathing, working, paying, ah, surviving,

(01:09:17):
But but cult members, Okay, with these far leftists. They're
they're tranforming and building and achieving and doing great things
save in the world. And the leaders leaders will tell them,
you're gonna have to sacrifice for them.

Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
You can sacrifice them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
They're smarter, they're better, they're more honest, and again that
they can manipulate people's sense of vanity. Again, and they're irrational, irrational,
they refuse to fix things that are wrong. The funny
thing is they refuse to even admit that something is wrong.

(01:10:00):
The cults will claim that all of its beliefs, teaching,
and tenants are sacred and cannot be changed if you
find something that is wrong, even in obvious error.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
It's funny. You watch them on Scott Jennings on CNN.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
He actually puts out clips of people basically he checking
people right in front of their faces, and they just
it's like they didn't even say what they just said.
They're gonna deny it. They're gonna still claim that they're
right and they're wrong. Hope and change that was remember Obama. Yeah, again,

(01:10:37):
that's what we're dealing with right now. You know, they
got a phrase they call it, you know, red pilling
people trying to wake people up, get them out of
this ridiculous cult that they're in, and people that the
sooner you do it, the better off you're gonna be. Again,
I know it's difficult to have patience people, but again

(01:10:58):
we talk about every single week here on the program.
You need to be building, creating, protecting, and teaching, and
you need to be doing it to people that are
very difficult to.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
That that that's easy.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
It's easy, easy to help and teach people that you
agree with, right, It's much more difficult to reach out
to the ones that aren't.

Speaker 5 (01:11:15):
And we have to do that, as difficult as that
may be.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com,
don't go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
I love my listeners and I love the questions that
we get in. Again, I can't I try. I can't
get them all on the various different programs and sometimes
difficult for me to get through to all my emails.
But I have to address this one. I have to
this one because I thought it was funny, Like I
guess you see, Hooters is going bankrupt?

Speaker 5 (01:12:10):
What happened? What happened? It's pretty simple, Okay, it's pretty simple.
I don't. I know.

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
I get out and about around where I live here
in the city of Tampa.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
And but my routine is pretty much the same. Okay.
So I get off in the morning and I start
my day very early.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
And I believe I had an early morning radio show
every day about four forty five AM. And right after
I finished that show, I'm doing it from my car.
I go to the gym. Now, this gym is awesome.
I mean, it really is amazing facility, brand new downtown Tampa.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
I love it again.

Speaker 4 (01:12:53):
I for past several years, I've had an in home gym. Okay,
thank god I put in before COVID. But yes, I've
been out for the gym for a while.

Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
And listen, the females don't really wear much anymore. They
really don't listen.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
I remember when yoga pants became all the age about
ten years ago, and they've just taken it to another level.
You go to the grocery store for crying out loud,
I can walk on Bayshore or whatever it may be.
Wow Wow, I just say, wow. Lululemon, al al whatnot.
You know, they're coming up with something new all the time.

(01:13:35):
Hooters went bankrupt because the outfits that the girls wear
at Hooters now are basically puritanical compared.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
To real life. I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
Basically wearing body paint for crying out loud, these outfits
at the grocery store. And yeah, again, I guess you
know that the nineties, you know, beer commercial outfits from Hooters,
they just the end. They don't cut the mustard anywhere. Anyway, Again,
who just did have good wings?

Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
Though? They did?

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Anyway, Anyway, I mentioned this. We talked about the media earlier.
I have to talk about this. This is It's just
there is no shame whatsoever. I saw this and I
thought it was a joke. I thought it was the
Babylon Bee. I love the Babylon Bee. That's Babylon beet.

(01:14:28):
A great one this past week where Saint Peter's asking
for five reasons, how you you helped grow God's kingdom
on Earth when you get to the Pearly Gates. But anyway,
Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have a book coming out
entitled Original Sin. President Biden's Decline, It's cover up and

(01:14:54):
his disastrous choice to run again. He's promoting it, He's
putting out tweets.

Speaker 5 (01:15:03):
Dude, we we have the damn receipts.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
Man. We there's video of you and your ilk and
people at Axios covering for Joe Biden, and.

Speaker 5 (01:15:19):
Now you're putting out a book.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
Talking about how others were covering up from you were
doing it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Again. They don't have any shame. You could you could
show it to their faces and how they are wrong
and how.

Speaker 4 (01:15:42):
They have lied again and again and again that there
has to be a condition. Is it's they're pathological? Do
they even know what they're saying? Do they believe their
own bs? I don't know me, they don't care? How

(01:16:05):
can how could? He's an anchor on CNN. You've been
lying to people, you have been covering for Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
You actually went after Trump for crying.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Out loud, for you're saying he had cognitive decline, and
you're putting out a book and it's it's funny even
you know, some of the people in the mainstream press have been,
you know, putting out what what is this guy doing?
I mean, this is this is a little bit ridiculous,
and I guess Jake Tapper, Jake Tapper has been sending

(01:16:39):
out nasty, nasty direct messages on Twitter to various different
people telling them shut up, me out, and I am.
I am thrilled to watch that. This is again. I'm
loving this implosion. It's a cleansing all people losing their jobs.
I don't care. They'll find find another job. Okay, you

(01:17:04):
have no right for any of this again, you're watching it?

Speaker 5 (01:17:07):
Ah, it's racist. They fired Joy Reid.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
First and foremost. Joy Reid had no viewers none. No,
I couldn't believe her numbers.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
I blow her away, blow away on Padca. I'm not
the only one.

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
There are thousands of podcasts that crush Joyreaid, crush her.
She got paid three dollars a year of this, thirty
thirty staffers for her program. Okay, what exactly do they
do all day? Why would you need thirty You need

(01:17:49):
thirty people to come up with the bs that you
put on air?

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
Are you kidding? Man? Thirty staffers to do this? Y?
Here was another one too.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
I guess now, Rachel, they're getting rid of Rachel Maddow's
staff too, cutting all of her staff.

Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
Yeah. She makes close to I think fifteen million dollars
a year for her program.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
Well, Rachel, you're you're a big believer in communism, right
and and collectivism. You're making all of this money, why
don't you why don't you, you know, to have them
divert some of your salary to all of these staffers.
Oh that's right. I didn't think so. I didn't think
you were going to go ahead and do that.

Speaker 5 (01:18:32):
Again.

Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
They are without shame and they are imploding, and I
love it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
Watch Dog on wallstreet dot com is our site again.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
Take advantage of everything.

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
We have personal CFO program, all sorts of great stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:18:53):
Watchdog on Wallstreet.

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
Dot com or give us a call eight hundred four
seven one fifty nine eighty four.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street. Well known
authored investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst trader Chris Markowski is

(01:19:32):
the Watchdog on Wall Street exposing the lies and myths
that the big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the
government are pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
You can't handle the true.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
financial world.

Speaker 3 (01:19:52):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
but in political and economic reality.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
This is the watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
Ah, already, welcome back everybody. James Carville there, Yeah, Limbo
used to call him the serpent, right or something like that. Anyway,
he's he's taken to the Twitter and it's been interviewed
and posting saying there that Trump and the GOP are

(01:20:27):
about ready to collapse, are ready to collapse. And he
says in four or six weeks now, Carvill made his
bones during the Clinton administration. He's again he's a donkey hack.
We all know this, but there's something to be said

(01:20:50):
and something you really need to pay attention to. Quite frankly,
in regards to his prediction here. I know people are shocked.
I actually did a podcast son of this past week.
They couldn't believe what I was saying. He's got a point. Yeah,
he most certainly has a point. And I will tell

(01:21:11):
you why. If you don't think that the powers that be,
the bureaucracy, deep state, big club, whatever you know, George Kong,
whatever you want to call it, if you.

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
Don't think that they are.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
Working very very hard right now, very very hard to
turn back all of this. They're they're again, they're brainstorming,
They're coming up white ideas. This is survival mode for them.
They want to keep their gravy train going. You take
a look again, take a look at the wealth. You

(01:21:49):
take a look at the type of money that these
politicians make on these.

Speaker 5 (01:21:55):
Salaries.

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
And he make one hundred and seventy make one hundred
and eight thousand dollars. There, all of a sudden, you're
thirty million dollars. I mentioned this before. If I were
to do that for our clients in a short period
of time, the sec would be at my door. They'd
be at my door. They'd be like, you're laundering money.

(01:22:17):
You are laundering money. There's no way, there's no way.

Speaker 5 (01:22:21):
It's just not possible. For all of them.

Speaker 4 (01:22:26):
They becomes so damn wealthy. Harry Truman said that very thing.
But politicians getting rich and they're crooks, they're crooks. And
again it's it's everything around them, it's their entire world.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
Me delve a little deeper. I used to go down.
We used to have it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
We had rivals, okay, in lacrosse in Maryland. DC area
was a big rivalry for us on Long Island, and
we would go down to lacrosse tournaments in and around
the DC area. Kids there the kids they don't go
to the public schools because they're horrible. They're horrible, and

(01:23:10):
I just they don't there's no you know, you don't
going to pay of the public schools. All of the
kids they're going to McDonough, they're going to all of
these is, all these these private schools in and around
d C. I remember we I rolled in to a
lacrosse tournament at McDonough. I thought it was Hogwarts except better. Okay,

(01:23:32):
Hogwarts without all of the monsters in the woods in
the surrounding area.

Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
They had stable and it was insane.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
I was like, my lord, and again, what do they
build and create in and around Washington, d C. Well,
that's right, nothing. They don't build to create anything. This
this is their live. I mean, these people are rich,
they're rich, but they've got easy jobs. Again, I always

(01:24:04):
get harkened back to Capital City in the Hunger Games.
You don't you don't think they're going to fight to
keep this this gravy train going and they're taking hits.
I mean, you're taking a look at all of the
the houses that have gone up for sale in the
DC area, The average price of a home has collapsed.

(01:24:25):
The Internet searches, people looking for uh defense attorneys and
how do I how do I uh, how do I
erase my hard drive without getting caught? Is a lot
of corrupt crap.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
That's been going on. We all know this, and they're
gonna push back.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
So let's bring us back here, go full circle back
here to James Carville, this is not a this is
not a donkey or elephant thing.

Speaker 5 (01:24:48):
It's both. It's both.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
James Carville knows that Republicans, that's right, Republicans are going
to be the ones that are going to try to
take Trump out. Oh you already have you already have
deep state Dems working with deep state Republicans there to
take Trump out? What do you mean to tell me

(01:25:16):
that Republicans they haven't been aware of all of this
ridiculous spending and what's been going on for an extended
period of time.

Speaker 5 (01:25:25):
Any Way, I got I went off on a rant.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
I was on Fox News, Fox Business when I called
I called out the Republicans, saying the Fox didn't like that.

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
They we weren't happy with me.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
Give the damn calling out all the Republicans and their
their they're omnibus spending package. These senators that were all leaving,
and all the money they were sending back to their
districts that was again going to be laundered and funneled
to them. Just shut up, just shut up, keep your
mouth shut, keep the scam going. It's bigger than any

(01:25:56):
sort of mafia. So again, Carvil's not wrong in the
sense that yet they're gonna try to take him out
because they're gonna have to.

Speaker 5 (01:26:06):
Do it quickly. They're gonna have to do it quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
And again it's it's gonna it's gonna come from you know,
some Republicans. You're already starting to see certain ones now
come out. Well, you know this is now you know,
we lose these government workers are losing their jobs and
this is not really nice. And you're gonna see all
sorts of pushback. Just warning it. Want to talk a

(01:26:32):
little bit about the this mineral deal, this mineral deal
the United States Ukraine. See what's gonna happen. How Russia's
gonna be involved?

Speaker 5 (01:26:43):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
Uh many people again got their got their underwear and
a bunch Oh my god, Trump's demanding, He's demanding so
much in the Ukraine.

Speaker 5 (01:26:52):
That's wrong, that's terrible. Why would he do that?

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
He's saving the Ukrainian people from oligarchs. Why don't you
take a look at you know, how the world is constructed,
shall you?

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Hey, let's take a look, take a look at real wealth.

Speaker 4 (01:27:11):
We like always pointing at musk and we talk about
bezos and all this stuff. But the reality of the
situation people, you want to see real money, Okay, Real
money is when it just comes out of a faucet
every single day, every single day, it just pours out
of a faucet where you control assets that everybody has

(01:27:34):
to have. Commodities need to live on, oil, oil, gas,
whatever it may be. And now case some of these
rare earth minerals, do you want oligarchs to control that?
Because that's what happened after the breakup of the Soviet Union,

(01:27:56):
rather than you know, allowing for companies to come in,
companies to come in and develop these resources and allow
the people to buy in and own stock and these
companies and benefit from that like we have here.

Speaker 5 (01:28:11):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
No, you had certain people take control of various different resources.
The same thing happens in Africa. Happened again, like I said,
former Soviet republics. If we can get in there and
we could allow our companies to run this thing, and
it's not going to be run by oligarchs.

Speaker 5 (01:28:31):
The people of the Ukraine have a chance.

Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
If we don't, it's going to be run by oligarchs,
and the whole country is going to continue to be
the corrupt mess that it was now and was before this. That,
my friends, is the reality of that terrain, plain and simple.
That's how you're going to have to go about fixing it.
It is what it is now. I want to also

(01:28:56):
talk about as well. Again, nobody got there underwear in
a bunch. Trump set the cabinet meeting and he talks
about teriffs and putting tariffs on the EU twenty five
percent tariffs on the EU. And they also made some
comments as well in regards to the EU was formed

(01:29:16):
to basically screw the United States. Well, I want to
go over all of this. Okay, again, this is it's
going to be a negotiation. It's going to be a
negotiation without a doubt. Do I mind tariffs now?

Speaker 5 (01:29:32):
No, I don't. I don't mind reciprocal tariffs.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
Again, We're we're always being told, well, you know, we
gotta you know, I get it, they're exporting more to us,
But you know, we're providing more to them in services.
Really you know, you know what the services are, so
stuff like the app store and whatnot.

Speaker 5 (01:29:52):
Europe to what services? What do they have Spotify?

Speaker 4 (01:29:55):
So Spotify is based out of I think one of
the Scandidavian countries.

Speaker 5 (01:29:58):
I forget which one, but anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
Sweden, you know they don't They put tariffs on everything
that we have, all sorts of protectionist crap that takes me.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
They do it within their own borders.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
They get into fights and arguments and hi and go
about naming certain cheeses and wines and all sorts of
stuff and tons and tons of regulations. Again, I want
people to think about Europe a little bit differently, okay,
and we are thinking about things differently, and it's high
time and it's the best thing that can happen for Europe.
Because Trump said as well, he says, I love Europe.

(01:30:33):
I love these European countries. But the way things have
been going, it's not going to work.

Speaker 5 (01:30:41):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:30:41):
You had a brand new election here in Germany. Friedrich Murrz,
the leader of the center right Christian Democrats.

Speaker 5 (01:30:49):
Won and again you had a lot. Oh this is good.
He's a conservative. I'll give me a break. The guy lied.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
The day before the election, he said he was going
to shut down the borders. The day after he said,
non on We're not gonna do that. We're gonna keep
them open. You get, you get the UK, you get Germany,
say yes, yes, we're We're gonna have to be independent.
We're gonna have to start spending more on defense. We're
gonna start doing it in twenty twenty seven. What that's like,

(01:31:17):
Wimpy from Popeye, I'll gladly pay you tuesday for a
Hamburger Today.

Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
They are not going to spend crap.

Speaker 4 (01:31:24):
They'll up it a little bit, They'll make some overtures
and they'll just wait.

Speaker 5 (01:31:30):
Why would they, Why would they?

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
If they they believe that we're gonna have to do
it for them. And trust me, trust me, they're gonna
they're gonna spend money. They're gonna spend money trying to
get another globalist in charge of you know, in charge
of the United States, a globalist president that will continue
to do the same thing again and again and again,

(01:31:54):
where we continue to spend You.

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
Can go back to Eisenhower warned about.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
NATO and this and how do you know United States
is going to be carrying.

Speaker 5 (01:32:01):
The weight for everyone, just like we have been.

Speaker 4 (01:32:04):
You take a look at the fifteen largest defense budgets
in the world. Take a look at them. Okay, it's
not even close. This is last year we spent nine
hundred and sixty eight billion. China was next at two
hundred and thirty five billion, Russia at one hundred and
forty six billion. You know, you put this in Major

(01:32:28):
League Baseball parlance right here. Okay, if we were a
baseball team and we were spending two thirds more than
any other team.

Speaker 5 (01:32:39):
It shouldn't even be close.

Speaker 4 (01:32:41):
It's like the Los Angeles Dodgers competing against the Marlins
every single year.

Speaker 5 (01:32:47):
It shouldn't be close.

Speaker 4 (01:32:48):
And every year, Oh, we gotta spend more on a
military we're under no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
enough enough. We have to be more efficient with what
we do. And again we have to, you know, start
looking to Europe and saying, well, wait a second, who
are these.

Speaker 5 (01:33:03):
Guys really are? Are are our best buddies?

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
Because we constly say that again again, Oh, you can't
say that about your allies.

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
You can't say this about this Listen.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
You know we're gonna go paying for the military and
supporting the this new you know German Germany, this new
German leader who just basically is a liar. He lied
to his people, you know, changed his mind right off
to that that two face. Does that make any sense whatsoever? No,
we don't have to. It's not good for them. We've
been enablers for crying out loud.

Speaker 5 (01:33:35):
That's what we've been.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
We've enabled this crap when it comes to the European
Union and how it was originally designed to be this
this trading block, a free trading block.

Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
That's all well and good.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
But like all things, Okay, you get to the masters treaty,
you have the common currency, you get the elites in charge,
they get their big club in charge for crying out loud.
The people that are in Brussels running the EU, they're unelected.
It needs to change. And yeah, I would be looking

(01:34:11):
quite frankly to be cutting deals with individual countries.

Speaker 5 (01:34:14):
Look to cut deals with individual.

Speaker 4 (01:34:16):
Countries, start picking them off, and I know it's gonna
ruffle more feathers, but who cares. You're doing it for
their own good. Gotta take a break. Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com again is our site.
Become part of the Watchdog on Wall Street family, whether

(01:34:37):
it be our personal CFO program, our podcast, our newsletter,
all sorts of great stuff Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com
or give us a call eight hundred four seven one
fifty nine eighty four.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
Let me tell you about it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:05):
The only man who is taking on the Wall Street establishments.
You're listening to the Watchdog and Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
Let me let me give you an example of how far,
how far Europe has has fallen and Trump is one
hundred and ten percent right for questioning our relationship.

Speaker 5 (01:35:32):
We call these oh these a our buddies. These are
our friends.

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
And we talked about here on the program all the
crap that goes Germany, the UK and the censorship, sending
the police out because of social media posts. My one
of my favorite apps, my favorite app is the Hello app,
and you might see it advertised. You know, you get

(01:35:57):
Jonathan Rome and Mark Wohlberg and the others. It's been
made illegal in Europe. They made the Hallow app illegal.
It is a religious lap app for everyone, but it's
basically a Catholic app. But they just suit in there
allowing for hardcore porn apps to be legal.

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
Again. I why why again?

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
You're you're going after grandma's because of what they post
on social media and we're supposed to defend you.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
I don't recognize you, at least some of you. I
won't again.

Speaker 4 (01:36:36):
I won't step foot in the UK. I won't go
into Germany. There's countries I will go into, but I
won't go there. Something wrong, okay, And they need to change.
And we've been enabling this crap for decades generations. Oh
you want to help an alcoholic again, Let's let's give them.

(01:36:58):
Let's give them alcohol. No, no, no, not stop enabling them.
Here's an example as far as business is concerned, it's
kind of fascinating. All you take all of the European
startups think about it, all of the European startups over

(01:37:18):
the past fifty years EU, all European countries, and you
were to combine their value, they're smaller than home depot.
To just put that into perspective, smaller than home depot.

(01:37:39):
And again there's a lot lot of Europeans that want mega,
they want to make Europe great again. Also and continuing
to do the same thing and treating them the same way.
That we're treating them is not going to help anyway.
I got a kick out of this story. It was again,
this was in one of my local papers here in

(01:38:00):
Florida talking about electric buses. And again, this is all
Biden administration crap that's been left over.

Speaker 5 (01:38:10):
In Miami Dade.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
Five five of the county's seventy five electric vehicle buses
are in service. In Broward County, Florida, they have forty
two EV buses.

Speaker 5 (01:38:27):
None none are working.

Speaker 4 (01:38:33):
And again I'm looking at these and they bought these
buses from a company called pro Terra, which went bankrupt
that I told you it was going to go bankrupt.
They've got no parts, they don't know how to fix
these things. And also it's not just in South Florida, Chicago, Austin,

(01:38:54):
all of these places.

Speaker 5 (01:38:57):
Why would you, why would you.

Speaker 4 (01:38:59):
Spend X payer money on these buses and these brand
new startup companies, knowing what a risk it could be
for the taxpayer. They're not ready not to mention the
fact that they are more than twice as expensive for
school buses.

Speaker 5 (01:39:18):
They're four times as expensive. Now what. But again, this
is par for the course. There's no skin in the
game for any.

Speaker 4 (01:39:29):
Of these politicians and the choices that they make. Here's
another example of money laundering. I am sure.

Speaker 5 (01:39:35):
I mean the folks over Protryve and they went in.

Speaker 4 (01:39:37):
Business, they made money, and they made sure to funnel
some of that money to the politicians that allowed for
them to get that damn contract. Yes, yes, taxpayers, and
you've been defiled again and again and again. Gotta take
a break. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com.

Speaker 5 (01:39:57):
We'll be back the side.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
You should believe in math, not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (01:40:27):
You know, I'm a big fan of Ron de Santis,
the governor here in the state of Florida.

Speaker 5 (01:40:36):
Florida man.

Speaker 4 (01:40:37):
He is the Florida Man. And let me tell you
something what he proposed this past week. It is revolutionary,
quite frankly, absolute genius at work with this. He he
wants to see if we can get rid of property

(01:40:59):
taxes here in the state of Florida.

Speaker 5 (01:41:01):
Oh yeah, oh.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
Yeah, all right, we already we don't have any income
taxes down here in the state of Florida. Property taxes
to me are that I've always thought that they're completely
screwed up, messed up, and uh, you know, quite frankly,
it's there. Put it this way, okay, people again, people
can't get their arms around this. Here in the United

(01:41:24):
States of America, we have to pay property taxes. You
never own your property. Never ever, ever do you own
your property. You do the pin off my mortgage. Okay,
what if you don't pay your property taxes, then what Yeah,
they're gonna put a lean on your house and they'll
take your house. So technically, technically we are all peasants

(01:41:48):
and serfs on the lord's manor, and that lord is
the government. You never truly own anything free and clear,
and that's I think it's kind of messed up. Always
have thought that he wants to obviously, you know, he
wants to start up doze here in the state of Florida.
He wants to cut waste, he wants to cut all

(01:42:08):
sorts of bloat. We already are on that path down here.
We continue to write down more and more debt every
single year, which is fantastic. Some ways around US you
could raise sales taxes in certain municipalities to cover a
lot of US I don't have any problem with that.
I don't not to mention the fact that you know

(01:42:30):
it's gonna be great for many people out there that
they get the proverbial golden handcuffs.

Speaker 5 (01:42:35):
They don't don't want to move.

Speaker 4 (01:42:37):
They can't move simply because they've lived in their house
for so long that if they move somewhere else, even
if they downsize, their property tax bill is going to
be much much more. They're gonna be paying out of pocket.

Speaker 5 (01:42:48):
Again.

Speaker 4 (01:42:49):
The whole concept of property taxes, quite frankly, doesn't make
any sense unless, of course, you are the powers that be,
you're the lord, you're the government, and again, pay us
or we take your property again. Great move by Ron DeSantis.
Love it, Jeff Bezos again. I wish I wish, I wish,

(01:43:12):
I wish I was to fly on the wall at
the Washington Post.

Speaker 5 (01:43:18):
They are freaking out.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Jeff Bezos put out an email to all Washington Post
employees informing then that the opinion page is now going
to write daily about two things. One personal liberties, number
two free markets, and he said that viewpoints which disagree

(01:43:45):
with those positions will be written elsewhere. That didn't take
the uh the paper's opinion editor very long to quit.

Speaker 5 (01:43:56):
YEP David Shipley. We had a had a step down.

Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
Bezos affirming that he is of America and wants to
celebrate these uniquely American values that have led to innovation
and prosperity. Believes these viewpoints are underserved in the current
newspaper environment, and he's right now. I hope, you know,
I hope this is not some sort of bait and

(01:44:23):
switch by Jeff Bezos. But quite frankly, I don't think
it is. I think he's, you know, truly trying to
be honest here. I think he sees the writing on
the wall.

Speaker 5 (01:44:31):
But again, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
Amazing to watch these leftists at the Washington Post lose
their mind. God forbid, we talk about the other great
things about America, about personal liberty and free markets and
going out there in building and creating.

Speaker 5 (01:44:49):
No, they're humanity, Why would we ever do that?

Speaker 4 (01:44:54):
I mean, they are still pitching the socialism communism crap.
They really are, which makes them morons because it never works.
And their answers, well, it didn't work because they didn't
have the right people in charge. We're the right people,
We're better, smarter. Again, they're like cult members like I
talked about earlier. Ah Okay, gonna talk about Apple here.

(01:45:21):
Apple didn't give in to the UK in regards to
giving them a key to their kingdom. Okay, the UK,
the UK wanted the key to the Apple Kingdom. They
wanted a back door so they could get into Apple devices.
So what Apple did was like, Okay, no, we're not

(01:45:43):
going to do that for you, but guess what we
are going to remove. We're going to remove our most
advanced end to end encryption security feature for cloud data
for your country. Just for the UK. Yep, yep, your
citizens are not going to have that. That's the best,

(01:46:04):
the most advanced security in the entire world.

Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
And again the UK government none.

Speaker 4 (01:46:10):
Too happy about that at all because again it puts
it on them. Why would Apple ever ever give government
the key into these You're gonna trust the government? You
have got to be out of your mind, out of
your mind, oh you know. Quickly on this one as well,

(01:46:35):
the CNN. CNN actually put out this story saying that
members of the CIA. Agents at the CIA are threatening
to divulge secrets secrets to Russia state secrets if they're fired.

(01:46:57):
If that isn't enough reason to fire everyone at the CIA,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:47:04):
What is now Again, these people went.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
They've got these CNN's got sources obviously in the CIA,
they're giving them information to people were saying, it's Anderson
Cooper coct me if I'm wrong, isn't you know trees
in the death penalty. Shouldn't these people be tried for treason?
And again, you're working at CNN, you don't have any

(01:47:30):
problem with this, that that your sources are willing to
do something like this. Again was it was jaw dropping
to me and again proving me right again. CIA needs
to be shut down, dismantled, start the whole thing over,
and do it differently. Part of the deep state. Watch
Dog on Wallstreet dot com, watch Dog on Wallstreet dot Com.

(01:47:51):
I'm gonna take a break.

Speaker 5 (01:47:53):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
Bringing America financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're
listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 5 (01:48:19):
And I am.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
If I follow the Ronald Reagan you know, trust but
verify camp and everything. And again we're gonna watch the
Washington Post very carefully because I'm watching I'm watching these
various different media organizations and again the mainstream media that
they're part of. Again, the Watchtonge and Wall Street Access

(01:48:42):
of evil big business politicians in the media, and one
of those those again, big publications out there that is
always it's always called, Oh, it's a conservative publication.

Speaker 5 (01:48:54):
Wall Street Journal is a conservative publication. No it's not.
No it oh certainly is not.

Speaker 4 (01:49:02):
Does the Wall Street Journal have some conservative writers for
its opinion pages? Absolutely? Is the paper itself conservative? No? Now,
not only is it not conservative, You've got a lot
of writers, a lot of their journalists right now.

Speaker 5 (01:49:22):
Again, they don't have a clue.

Speaker 4 (01:49:25):
They don't have a clue, and without every single day,
every single day, they're coming up with little slide stories
here going after whatever Trump is doing in some way,
shape matter format. I have no problem with that if
you're accurate in what you're covering. But they're doing it
just to do it. In case in point, there was

(01:49:45):
a story this past week Doge moved to slash federal leases,
threatens office market recovery. What but basically that they're saying,
oh my god, what Doze is doing and it's going
to hurt the real estate market in washing In DC
and other places. Wait a second, you said the taxpayers
should continue to pay for empty buildings empty office buildings,

(01:50:10):
so your buddies there can keep the real estate portfolios
up artificially. Is that what you're saying. That's supposedly a
conservative publication, right. I don't give a damn about your
real estate portfolio in Washington, DC. Let it crass as
far as I'm concerned. That's what the market is. Let

(01:50:31):
it find its intrinsic value. I don't want to pay
for empty office buildings. I don't want to maintain empty
office buildings. I don't want to heat empty office buildings.

Speaker 5 (01:50:41):
Sell them off. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com We'll
be back.

Speaker 1 (01:50:58):
Chris Markowski is the dog on Wall Street, ticking wall streets, liars,

(01:51:21):
trooks and chets out behind the woodshed. You're listening to
the watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
Worme back, and that is the watchdog on a Wall
Street again. I got to remind everybody we're here to
help everyone out. That's what we do at Markowski Investments.
You know our office with no velvet rope, no velvet
rope outside the front door. We don't have bouncers out

(01:51:52):
there with the little earpieces checking to make sure that
you have ten million dollars. So you can speak with
the Markowski Brothers. No, we've never done things that way.
Our firm has always been unique in that regard. You know,
we were chided and ridiculed based upon our business model
when we were starting to thing up. Never gonna work

(01:52:14):
and not gonna be able to do it, not gonna
be able to handle all the clients.

Speaker 5 (01:52:17):
Well guess what.

Speaker 4 (01:52:20):
Guess what, thirty years later, we're killing it, and we're
going to continue to work hard for our clients, and
we're going to continue to invite everyone to become a
part of our family. Do so, just just get get
to watchdog on Wallstreet dot com, sign up for our
personal CFO program, shoot me an email, give us a
call eight hundred and four to seven nine eighty four.

Speaker 5 (01:52:40):
It's what we're here for. Again.

Speaker 4 (01:52:42):
I want to remind everybody pretty much every day except Sunday, really,
I'm putting out podcasts and shorts and whatnot. And my
podcasts is available on any play, Spotify, you name it, iTunes, YouTube,
whatever it may be.

Speaker 5 (01:52:59):
I do vid them as well. Sign up for it.

Speaker 4 (01:53:03):
You can do that at our website also, or at
any of the places you get your podcast. Subscribe, give
a little rating, a shout out there, it helps us
to grow.

Speaker 5 (01:53:12):
It helps us to grow. I try to explain this
to people.

Speaker 4 (01:53:15):
I got to have two different, two different ways I
have to do shows nowadays. The podcast medium is a
little bit different than the radio medium and how I
go about doing things. But again, we try our best
to cover all of the important topics. Actually a lot
of topics that even the media is not covering, they're

(01:53:37):
not paying attention to. So again, sign up for that
as well at Watchdog and Wall Street dot com. I
saw this again this past week. I guess it's happening again.
It's it's made the news. You got certain colleges and
universities where the the kids are taking over and they're
taking over buildings and they're outrage over college over at

(01:54:00):
this school.

Speaker 5 (01:54:01):
Or that school.

Speaker 4 (01:54:03):
Why why? Why are you outraged?

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
Why?

Speaker 5 (01:54:07):
Outrage? Again? If I was the parent of a child.

Speaker 4 (01:54:13):
That was attending one of those universities where it was
taking place, yes, yes I would be outraged, And how
I would I handle my outrage by yanking my kid?

Speaker 5 (01:54:26):
And it's not that difficult. It really isn't that difficult. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:54:31):
You make decisions every single day, you vote every single
day with how you go about spending money. Who you
go about patronizing? What do you do if people stop
going to these schools? People started pulling their kids, Man,
they do something about it, but quick they would, so
I quite finking I don't care people getting up in

(01:54:55):
arms about what it's happening at Barnard or Columbia whatever.
Maybe I could care less. My kids don't go there.
My kids don't go there. But you know the other
thing is I do get the point is that our
tax dollars shouldn't go there. Our tax dollars shouldn't go there.
And here's another little thing, Swell, this didn't get any coverage.

(01:55:16):
Donald Trump is going to change the taxation of college endowments.

Speaker 5 (01:55:21):
Oh yeah, He's.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
Going after those college endowments big as he would say.

Speaker 5 (01:55:29):
And good for him.

Speaker 4 (01:55:31):
Good for him, because colleges and universities are basically hedge
funds with non profit status. There are hedge funds with
nonprofit status billions and billions and billions of dollars and endowments. Yeah,
paying any taxes on it. They're coming for it now,
and I'm thrilled by the entire thing. Anyway, all right,

(01:55:56):
we were talking about this earlier, and you know, We've
done a lot today on how the the racket works,
the mafia works when it comes to government. Here's an
example of this. Jennifer Grant Holme, who was Biden's Energy secretary.
Why well, yeah, she was governor of Michigan. She wanted
to run for the presidency. Again, you gotta fill it

(01:56:16):
with a member of the big club, and she's a
member of the big club. She gave a power company
