Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, I was certainly something you don't see that every
day speech. Wow. I think he knocked it out of
the park quite frankly. And as it turns out, the
overwhelming majority of Americans did as well. You're talking post
to other people approved his speech, liked his speech. Did
(00:42):
you understand those try to get your arms around those numbers.
I haven't had a chance I had a chance to
take a look and take a look at the approval
ratings of speeches in the past. I'm sure George W.
Bush's speech Posts nine to eleven probably had fairly decent ratings.
(01:03):
But Donald Trump, Donald Trump, you mean the guy that
the mainstream media is telling you everybody hates. Everybody hates
the guy. Oh my god, they can't stand him. He
gets an approval at close to eighty percent. And it
was funny. I was watching this morning, watching some of
these town halls that the media liked to hold, and
(01:27):
again CNN was just like they didn't know what to do.
They didn't know what to do, and the overwhelming majority
of people were like, yeah, this is great and fascinating
to some degree, but anyway, neither here nor there. It
really does show and watching what took place, watching the
(01:48):
Democrats and how they behave I don't understand this. I mean,
I could sit, I could sit the party you're in,
and if a politician said something that I happened to
agree with, I can I can applaud along with that.
I get it. It's they're like a bunch of I
(02:10):
don't even know what they all do the same thing
all they were gonna give in marching orders. Do any
of them at all have any sort of opinion on
their own or they just look I don't know who's
running the Democrat I mean maybe it's you know, maybe
Obama put out the marching orders. I mean he obviously
ran Joe Biden all the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You can't applaud or stand up. A kid would cancer,
a kid going to the military academy, a hostage that
we got back from Russia. That's too much. That's too
much of a stretch. Funny too, it was like the
day or two before, they had all of these Democrats
(02:53):
coming out and putting out videos, and they were identical,
identical in what they said. What does it say about them?
Quite frankly, but what does it say about their overall intelligence?
It's not working, it's not selling if for crying out loud.
You even had guys like David Axelrod come out and questioned,
(03:16):
you know, what are you doing here? I don't think
that's going to bring any wins. The table just shows
you how how bad their situation is at this point
in time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Without doubt. You know, I think Donald Trumpy highlighted the
things that he was doing. Again, they for whatever reason,
they keep trying to destroy Elon Musk, but the American
people love it. How could you not like? How could
you not like somebody going out of their way, working
for free, trying to save the taxpayer money. And that's
(03:51):
you know, Democrats are pushing back against that. They're trying
to explain to people that somehow that's bad. Okay, okay,
have at it. Still, trying to explain that we should
having boys playing girls sports. I mean, Trump brought up
the uh that volleyball story where the girl got the
ball spiked into her face by a male. Also mentioned
(04:13):
one where was some race where the male one male
one racing as a girl some obviously some ultra marathon
or whatever it may be won by like five hours
or biking. I'm not exactly sure, but you get the point.
One thing after another, after another after another, the one
the one aspect there that again he rolled out when
(04:33):
it came to tarrafs. So, yeah, it's gonna it's gonna
take We're gonna take a little bit of a hit
right now. And I said that, I've been saying that
as well. This is going to be a hit, not
to mention there's going to be a hit to the
economy because government spending is being cut and a lot
of our GDP has been based upon that. You're already
seeing stories in the mainstream media they're bringing up that
s word stagflation. Stagflation is uh, negative economic growth with inflation.
(05:02):
At the same time, again, they're they're really, they're they're
pulling out all the stops. This is Wall Street journal
as well, trying to take him down. But again, getting
back to the speech, overall, I think it was excellent,
highlighting what he has done for the past six weeks,
(05:22):
what he's looking to do. Very very optimistic, very optimistic.
But you know, it was different. It wasn't pie in
the sky. So much pie in the sky type crap.
Maybe I mean the idea of balancing the budget. Quite frankly,
you know, it's kind of pie in the sky. It
wasn't George W. Bush, you know, talking about he's going
(05:44):
to run the United States Navy on you know, fuel
from algae and switchgrass and all sorts of other nonsense.
Wasn't Joe Biden said he was going to cure cancer.
Wasn't you know, Barack Obama saying all sorts of you know,
nonsensical stuff about transfer, forming the economy and all this
green nonsense. It was just overall positive in regard to
(06:05):
the direction of the country, giving power back to the people,
getting rid of regulations, letting people go out and build
and create, which is things again that we love and
we'd like to talk about. If there would be one,
one thing I'd pushed back on when it came to
Trump's speech, and I know this is a bit of nitpicking,
but it's okay. I can do that here my show.
(06:27):
You don't have to constantly hammer home Joe Biden the
worst president in history. It's almost redundant to some degree.
You could just point out the policy failures and they
kind of speak for themselves, you know. I know he
kind of likes to freelance for some time, you know,
(06:47):
and certain things. But I just wouldn't have done that.
You know, again, I can't recall, I can't recall a
time where a president will give a speech in essence,
a State of the Union address, dressing point book chambers
of Congress, and having that much of a positive response
(07:10):
from the overall country. Fascinating, really is Watchdog on Wallstreet
