Watchdog on Wall Street: Podcast for Weekend of March 9 - March 9 2025

Best of the Watchdog on Wallstreet

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, no one altered. Investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, trader
Chris Markowski is the watchdog 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 truth.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
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 (00:40):
This is the watchdog Wall Streets.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
For the first time, for the first time that I
can remember, This is a confession I have to make
to all of our listeners here at the beginning of
this program today. I'm nervous. I'm scared. I have had
a pit in my stomach since I got up this morning.

(01:08):
I've completely over prepared for this show. I could do,
you know, fifteen hours standing on my head at this
point in time. I haven't felt this way. You know
what this happens with me and Rada since I first
started this program twenty five years ago, and you know,
I've done other shows as well, drive time programs in

(01:31):
certain markets over the years, and sometimes you get a
little jitters, you know, before that first show. But I
come in every single week here in the program and
I let it rip. I let it rip. I know
my stuff. I'm rare and a going and there's no
nerves involved till today. I this is how I felt
when I used to play sports, whether it be a

(01:52):
football game or a lacrosse game or a little ly
what I'd always have that nervous, nervous stomach, and I
have it today because I don't want to screwed up.
I don't want to miss anything. I don't want to
get it wrong. You know. I pray, you know, I'm
pray that I can do a worthy job today basically

(02:16):
trying to get our arms around and explain to everybody
what's going on. It's been a real interesting week. I
am stressed, stressed, but there's also a bit of catharsis
that has come with everything that's taking place as well.

(02:36):
We here on the program, my long time listeners know,
we go after lies. We we seek out, We seek
out the narratives that are being sold to the American people,
whether it be on Wall Street and the garbage that

(02:57):
they're selling you there in the business news, or whether
it be from Washington, DC. This is what we do.
We take the liars, the crooks, the cheats out behind
the woodshed. And to be honest with you, we're few
and far between that have actually done it everything everything

(03:20):
that we have been telling you and trying to explain
to you, how the system works, how crooked it is,
how they operate. We now have receipts. We now have receipts.

(03:41):
It was funny, it was explained. It's a great analogy
that was brought to my attention this past week. It
was actually a guys it's got his handle's name, Cynical Publius,
and he equated this to Star Wars and how the
Rebel alliance found The's this single weakness in the Death Star,

(04:03):
or the Deep State I like to call it was
an exhaust event that led straight to the reactor and
they had a shoot up a missile down there and
the whole thing would blow up. It's it's blowing up
right now. But again I'm scared because we all know
the next movie, the Empire strikes back. We we love

(04:27):
to cite all the time here on the program. In
my opinion, one of the greatest comedic rants of all
time for the ages. If this was, if this was
delivered by a politician or a president, be one of
the great speeches of all time, the George Carlin rant
about the big club and you not being in it,

(04:50):
we not being in it. How many times over the
years have we alluded to that? And it's playing out
in front of us right now. It's playing out in
front of us at this very time. I am I try,

(05:12):
I try here on the show to get all of
these things, of course, to explain to you how these
people in Washington work. Again, you're watching right now. It's okay.
The Democrats are freaking out in public, freaking out in
I mean, I've never seen them so hysterical, and they

(05:33):
have nothing. And the funny thing is this is part
of the problem Republicans remaining silent. But believe me, many
many Republicans are scared about all this stuff too, because
don't tell me, don't tell me that they're not involved
with this. People. We are watching right now, and I

(05:54):
just show you that the scam is still on. And
this is why I still got this whole Empire strikes
back thing going. We just watched and witnessed this past week,
probably the biggest media scandal in history. And I've called
a lot of them. I've covered a lot of them
here on the program. Remember Dan Rather trying to change

(06:20):
an election here in this country, Dan Rather, Remember his
fake but true documents. He lied, They manufactured that entire story,
and sure he got fired, but a month or two
later they were giving him awards. Steven Glass, They're just

(06:41):
so many examples. People are are tax dollars, Our tax
dollars were being used to fund Politico, the New York Times,
the B. B. C. Thompson, Reuter's Associated Press. These are

(07:07):
supposed it's supposed to be that the people that are
looking out for us, the media. And again we've gone
after them for years. But there's receipts now and believe me. Okay,
this is part of the lie to Okay, this story breaks.
Did any of the media outlets cover it? Did Fox
News cover it? Was it on their website? Did again?

(07:30):
What does Fox News own? Fox owns the Wall Street Journal?
Did the Wall Street Journal cover it?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
No?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
This is this is part of the rules that you
need to understand. They do this all the time. Well,
the Wall Street Journal says this, and they are a
conservative publication. No, they're not. No, they're not people. What
the media does and how it operates and keep my
longtime listeners know, we call this yes decades ago, the

(08:03):
watchdog on Wall Street access of evil big business politicians
and the media working hand in hand to further their needs,
their agenda. They want they want a war, they want
a war. Well guess what, guess what, You're gonna get
a war. Okay, you're gonna get a war, and they're

(08:24):
gonna sell it to you, and you're gonna love it.
You are gonna love it. You need to understand, Okay,
Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Associated Press, that their job,
their funk. Their primary function is not journalism. It's not journalism.
They're essentially they're kind of like a decentralized Madison Avenue

(08:51):
Madman type of situation. It's all about coordinating a narrative. Now,
follow along with me. There's a great, great thread put
out by John Conrad explaining this. It's something again we've
talked about here for years. Let me give you an example.
Biden is sharp as attack or jd Vance is weird. Hmmm.

(09:18):
So this is how they operate. Okay, they they they
have a decentralized basically system command and control system for
the Big Club, George Carlin's Big Club. It's not just
a Democratic Party. It's the deep state, it's the death Star.
It's the people, your owners, as George Collins, the people

(09:39):
who own you. They have local bureau chiefs. Now, these
guys are stationed all across the country and they're watching.
They're watching, They're watching what's going on, hmm, what's getting popular,
what's gaining traction. They're they're taking phone calls from their
various different insiders in government, the dem operatives out there,

(10:02):
even Republican operatives that are feeding them a narrative. And
then they say, oh, we can get stories, we can
get control over. Then it's sent off to the big
New York editors. The editor basically takes it and goes
into story triage. Is this story gonna be huge? How
long can we keep this story? Well it's simmer for days,

(10:24):
or oh boy, we better bury this one. Then oh,
we have editorial meeting. Okay. Then they decide, okay, how
we're gonna frame this, and then they hand it off
to the journalists that are gonna go ahead and write it. Ever,
notice they got four or five different journalists per story now.
But of course they got to get in contact with

(10:44):
the with the bosses, the deep state, the ones that
are cutting the checks. You gotta you gotta let the
deep state, you gotta let government get a head start
on controlling a story. Then you know what they get sources,
They have them, They have much speed dial, They have
their go to people. If there's a story that they

(11:05):
need an expert, an expert saying China is bad, well
they've got that. They got an expert or whatever needs
expert on saying China is good. Depends on which way
the story is going. If there's a military scandal, they've
got some sort of ex general or admiral on speed
dial that will tone it down. All the journalist does.

(11:26):
And for all your kids out there now, I want
to be a journalist. I want to go to Syracu, Sir,
or Columbia or Northwestern. You know, your job is you
go out and you get quotes from the right experts.
You stick, you stick to the editor's angle. That's what
you do. That that's your job. For crying out loud

(11:46):
when it comes to main stories, oh sure, human interest stories,
you'll get your anecdotal sources here and there. Then all
of a sudden, all of a sudden, every single this
is happening newspapers, All of a sudden, they're all saying
the same thing. Do you remember I covered this. I

(12:08):
saw this back in the nineteen nineties. I covered this
in the early years of this program. Journalist was a
message board, was like a group. This is something that
took place on the Internet in the nineteen nineties where
they would all get together in converse and out they
were going to handle a story. You remember that Rush
Limbaugh did a bit on his program making fun of

(12:29):
the media. All of a sudden, they started speaking Latin. Yeah,
Dick Cheney brings gravitas to the Bush, the Bush Ticket.
They all started using the word gravitas at the same
time for crying out loud. But again, they're all doing
it kind of separate and different, but the same. And
then they handed off to all of the stations around

(12:51):
the country, to the people that are putting the words
on the teleprompter for the ron Burgundes of the world
to read, and then of course to the writers at
the late night programs so they can make jokes about
what's going on. This is how it's done. This is

(13:12):
what we've been explaining to you for a long period
of time. We've been trying to give you the red
pill here on the program, so you can see how
it works, how you're manipulated in so many ways. And
again they love the fact that you think it's Republican

(13:34):
versus Democrat. It's not. It's you versus the deep state,
the big club. Why Elon Musk is a Republican Now
he's not. He's a businessman that doesn't like what he's
seeing right now. The same thing as far as Donald
Trump is, he's not a Republican. I'm not a Republican,

(14:02):
but I certainly know the difference between right and wrong.
And again I I met this past week. You know
the sub reference ye beginning of the first Godfather movie.
There when Bonos Aara is pleading with Godfather, he wants
justice for his daughter. He talks about the the men

(14:23):
who beat his daughter and how the judge suspended the sentence.
And he's sitting there in the courtroom and they they
smiled at me. This is what they do. They smile
a vote for me. Are you seeing all of this ways?
Are you seeing where this money is going? You seeing
how these people enrich themselves. We should be sick to

(14:49):
our stomach. We have an underclass here in this country.
We've got areas that have been damaged by storms and
wildfires not being taken care of. We got areas we
got no go zones, shanty towns in America, and we're
sending millions and millions of dollars everywhere and it's not
even going there. It's going into the pockets of these
people who live within a ten mile radius of Washington,

(15:11):
DC that are getting rich. These people don't build anything,
they don't create anything. They are national freaking parasites, and
we should be disgusted. I'm gonna I'm gonna try today. People.
We have so much, We're gonna go over to get
our arms around this. And again I don't I'm sorry,

(15:32):
I don't mean to yell. I don't mean to yell.
Like I said, I'm nervous today. I hope and I
pray every single day that people wake up, finally wake
up to what's going on. I'm gonna talk a little
about my may fears based upon human nature when we

(15:54):
get back from the break, that that might not be
the case. I want to invite each and every one
of you to become a part of what we are
at Markowski Investments and The Watchdog on Wall Street Show.
The truth is what we're about, exposing the liars, the crooks,
the cheats, whether it be on Wall Street, whether it
be in Washington, DC, all of the narratives, all of

(16:17):
the lies that if you've been told over the years,
at some point in time, you're gonna have to stay.
You gotta say enough is enough. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com is our site. Get there,
become a part of our family, our podcast, our newsletter,
our personal CFO program, Webb back need you.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
The only man who is taking on the Wall Street establishment.
You're listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Quarterback. Everybody, it is the Watchdog on Wall Street Show.
I don't want to do throughout the program today. I
think we'll start off every segment with just some of
the money that's being wasted, and again, I want you
to take a deep breath and try to process this.
Try to process this and what could be done with

(17:29):
this money. I think back and I think about the
columns that I've written, the stories, we've talked about here
in the program, I mean ranting and raving about wasted talent.
And that was in the movie The Bronx Tale, the
satusing the world is wasted talent. And what we're doing
here in this country with all of this money, all

(17:51):
of this taxpayer money. What you could do with this
money back in your pocket, What you could build, what
you could create with all this what we could make
happen here in this country. Here's some here's some money
that you know usaid sent to Afghanistan. Yeah, solar power
street lights that all got stolen and sold on the
black market. How about this paying opium for opium farmers

(18:14):
two times the opium price to grow corn, then sending
sending Afghanis to inspect so they collect the corn money,
they grow the opium, They bribe the inspector, and then
sell the opium as well. I keep going on. How
about this? How about a shopping mall in Afghanistan and Kandahar.

(18:38):
They pay for the construction of this entire mall up front.
What what happens? Oh? Yeah, the contractor puts down a slab,
a non reinforced slab, takes his family and three generations
and moves him to Dubai. Nothing done anyway, It's it's here,

(18:59):
It's right in front of you. If you want to
do homework, you want to pay attention to the problem
that we have right now, and this is this is
what I see. Unfortunately, unfortunately, human beings, human beings and freedom.
Quite frankly, throughout history they have it mixed. They haven't mixed.

(19:21):
And I don't know. I don't know whether or not
this is gonna take I for the life of me,
I can't figure out whether or not the American people
are gonna be like that character and the matrix that
wants to go back in the matrix. They're gonna say,
I don't want to hear it. I don't want to
see it. I like my rulers. I like my government

(19:43):
over lords. That's what frightens the hell out of me.
I go off on rants every single year about the
Fourth of July, and how I'm not a big fan
of Fourth of July. Neil Boorts was the same way too,
everybody waving American flags and having a you know, big party.
I mean, trust me, I like the barbecues too, But

(20:06):
most Americans they don't want freedom. Freedom involves work, time
and effort. More on this when we get back Watchdog
on Wallstreet dot Com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com again,
become a part of our family at the Watchdog on
Wall Street show, podcast, newsletter, you name it, Watchdog on

(20:31):
Wallstreet dot Com. We shall return.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Chris Markowski is the Watchdog on Wall Streets. You should

(20:59):
believe in man not magic. You're listening to the Watchdog
on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Every Uh it's my my thing. I've been doing every
night night to calm myself down, to be honest with you.
I'm I'm going back and what I've seen it a
couple of times, but I'm watching The Chosen again at night,
and it calms me down, calms me down because I can't.
I uh, I take this this job of mine very seriously,

(21:31):
podcast that this radio show, and I am. I try
and I pray every single week that I'm doing the
best possible job to get the information out to you
in the right way. I try my darnedness to keep
my anger in check. But it's it's hard. It's hard
right now. It's hard when when you're watching all of

(21:51):
these people in power lie, just just lie and and
and try to confuse people. You're watching all of these
these rallies, these so called rallies taking place state capitals
in Washington, DC. These are government workers. These are the

(22:13):
entire ten mile radius around Washington, DC, aren't they don't.
These are a people that build anything or create anything.
These are people that make a ton of money, a
ton of money off of you and your tax dollars.

(22:36):
And like I said before, something I'm doing right now
was try. It's always wanted to do it, and I said,
I'm gonna try, and I'm doing my best. It's not easy.
It's not easy. It's this ninety day thing. It's called Exodus,
ninety ninety days leading up to Easter Sunday. And basically

(22:57):
the concept behind it is you're giving things up, You're
making sacrificing, fasting, a myriad of different that cold showers
is a part of it, various different readings and whatnot.
And the goal is is to give up, to learn
to give up certain things in your life. The calling
acidence is about, you know, and as it's getting rid

(23:17):
of the Pharaohs, you know, you read Exodus and you
know Moses Freese phrase realism. And what do they start
doing right away is complaining and listen, this happens throughout
world history and some respects human beings like their bondage.

(23:43):
They don't want to be free. Freedom is scary. Freedom
is scary. Personal responsibility, Oh wow, I don't know if
I want that. Yeah, I don't know if. I don't
know if I want that type of responsibility. And they
play it into movies, and you know, you know how

(24:04):
I like the sub reference here on the program, I
cracked jokes about dan Ackroyd and Ghostbusters.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
On a private sector they expect results, and this is
these people that they don't know what to do. They're frightened.
They want the government to take care of them. Yeah again,
the United States of America. Again, the government here in

(24:30):
this country is a criminal operation. There's no bones about it.
The system is a criminal operation. And this has been
played into movies I Godfather too. They're Senator Gary shaken
down Michael Corleoni there at his house in Tahoe, and

(24:53):
Corleoni calls him, We're both a part of the same hypocrisy.
This is not what this country was supposed to be about.
You know, we we have this great nostalgia and affinity,
greatest generation in world War two. We changed after that.

(25:17):
We were warned. Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial compass.
Kennedy understood what was going on and the you know,
CIA and all of this stuff, and it's gotten worse
instead of better. I mean, that's some question. The founding fathers,
we had some sort of time machine and we were
able to bring them back and they were to see

(25:37):
what was going on. What would they think of America
right now and how it's being run, and how it's
being operated, and and the business of Washington, d C.
They'd be disgusted quite frankly. People. What I'm saying here

(25:57):
is you only you only have so many opportunities. This is,
in my belief, this is a real across road moment
for the United States. Either we're going to go back
to the the principles, the idea of America, the principles

(26:24):
of this nation, or we're going to continue to go
down this road We've been going on for a very
long period of time. Handouts, graft payoffs, who you know,
underhanded deals, all the things that make me sick to
my stomach, all the things that keep give me nightmares,

(26:46):
keep me up at night, get me angry, get me
yelling and screaming when I don't want to. This is
our choice right now. And again, I'm hoping, I'm hoping
and praying that the American people wake up. Watchdog on

It is the Watchdog on Wall Street Show. You got
to get into some of the financial stories here from
the week. This one I got a kick out of.

(28:10):
I really did Robin Hood. Robin Hood. We know, I
love to make fun of Robin Hood here on the program.
But hey, hey, they're laughing. They're laughing too. I make
fun of them, but they're laughing all the way to
the bank, because again they're in the they're in a
gambling business for crime out loud, That's that's what they are.

(28:31):
They're in the gambling business. They're their job is to
get people doing stupid things at their money, moving in
and out of stocks and all sorts of stuff. They're
options you name it, and again countless countless people. You know,
after they've lost fifty sixty seventy eight, can you help me?

(28:54):
Can you rebuild it? Yeah, but it's going to take work,
time and effort because you're trying to take a short
cut thinking you're gonna be some sort of guru trader
put you in this spot. You ever see you ever
ever see these these traders. They love hot, they live

(29:16):
putting it out on social media. They get these computer
setups where they got like five six computer screens in
front of them and charts and graphs and quote and
all this stuff. I laugh. I laugh because they're gonna lose.
It's kind of you walk into some of these investment

(29:38):
houses and they got a ticker and going on there.
Nobody reads the ticker. Okay, it's all a prop, it's
all a show. You're walking to my office, Yep, there's
my Mac one mac on my desk. That's it. You're
going to lose. It's just that simple. But anyway, Robin
Hood right, the CFTC asked them, we got the super

(30:03):
Bowl this weekend. They asked them to stop offering customer
access to certain betting contracts on the Super Bowl, And
I'm like, why why again? You know what they're doing anyway, right,
you know that people are going there to gamble their money.
So they gambling a super Bowl or they gamble it

(30:23):
on in video. They're gonna lose anyway. They're the house
for crying out loud. What difference does it make? At
some point in time? People need to take personal responsibility.
You laugh. You know these trade Oh yeah, I made
a buck on this this time, and I made a

(30:44):
buck on this stock this time, and a buck over here.
Oh okay, so you made three bucks on the stock.
You know, we bought it and we held it and
now we're up like forty dollars on it. I mean,
it's ridiculous again, people, Everything in life that has meaning,
value and worth involves work, time and effort. Stop looking

(31:05):

for our personal CFO program. Ah boy, well you know
we're gonna talk about wisdom when we get back, investing
wisdom and compounding investing wisdom. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com,

(31:25):
we shall return.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
You're listening to the watch Dog on Wall Street taking

(32:01):
Wall Streets, lions, crooks and cheeks out behind the woodshed.
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Welllcome back everyone. It is the one, the only, the
watch Dog on Wall Street show. Always honored to have
you tuned into the program. And I keep forgetting again,
I because I've been covering so much of this done
the podcast over the week. I'm supposed to be covering
some of this. Your your money, following it. Where your
money is being spent, where your hard earned tax dollars
are going. How about this? Did you know? Did you

(32:36):
know that you paid for irrigation canals, farming equipment, and
fertilizer to do what, yes, to grow heroin? That's right,
you and I helped you didn't know you were growing heroin?
Did you? Well? You were? Yup, That's where some of
your money went through USA. How about this? How about

(32:58):
all of that money, all that mighty one hundred and
seventy seven billion dollars that went to Zolyinsky over there
in the Ukraine. Well, we're missing one hundred and two
billion where to go? But Zelinski doesn't know where it is.
Our government doesn't know where it is. Don't ask the Pentagon.

(33:20):
They'vos certainly not going to know where it is. Hey,
don't worry about it. It's just those stupid American taxpayers
out there that keep sending money to these liars crooks
sheets in Washington, DC. Was it too harsh?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
No?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
I don't think so. Well, I quickly want to go back.
I pulled it up this great bit. This is great investors.
This guy named Howard marx Uh talking about day traders.
He says day traders considered themselves successful if they bought
a stock at ten and sold it at eleven, bought

(33:58):
it back later on at twenty four, and sold it
at twenty five, and then bought it back again at
thirty nine and sold it at forty. Now, if you
can't see the flaw in this, the fact that that
that awesome day trader made three dollars in a stock

(34:19):
that went up by thirty forty bucks, well, then again.
You know that's just you. Again. I've talked about this before,
investing versus gambling, the odds of losing money, the odds
of it one month, one month time horizon. Your odds

(34:42):
of losing money is at thirty eight percent, making money
sixty two percent, one year losing money twenty five percent,
making money seventy five percent, five years losing money eleven percent,
making money eighty nine percent, ten years losing money five percent,
making money ninety five percent, fifteen years losing money point

(35:04):
two percent, making money ninety nine point eight percent. That's
how it's done. I want to talk a little bit
about wisdom and compounding wisdom because you need to have
wisdom when it comes to investing. And the funny thing
is people think they have it. They think that again,

(35:29):
it's a Dunning Krueger effect that I've talked about here
on the program, and they don't. They don't. You have
to have certain boundaries in place when you're putting together
this is what we do. Okay, this is this is
part of our personal CFO program. This is this is

(35:54):
who we are, this is our this is in our DNA.
Here you have to have an object, a mechanical system
in place. When it comes to making decisions, you cannot
you cannot be yea under diverse fight. You cannot say, oh,

(36:18):
I'm all in this. You have to be diversified, but
not overly diversified, but diversified. And we've talked about that,
the cut here, the snip there, the taking profits along
the way. How often again have we talked about getting
rich slow? Gets rich time of good word building wealth slow?

(36:43):
I said, take a look at Berkshire, Hathaway and war
and Buffett. They're making massive amounts of money now because
they can it compounds over time. It took him decades
to get to where he is. Is again certain things, okay,

(37:05):
you have to trust, You have to trust in your system. Okay, again,
I talk about this all the time, learning how to
navigate financial storms, corrections, volatility, because they're going to be
out there. You're going to be confronted with them, understanding,

(37:28):
recognizing serious risks and suiting stuff that's not even a curse.
I talked about that in terms of black swans, they're
out there. How do you protect yourself? How do you
protect yourself from something that's coming out of nowhere? Very
simply Okay, your portfolio is structured so when those big
hits come, you get stronger, you benefit from them. That's

(37:53):
the whole anti fragile concept that oftentimes we talk about.
Not my word, talent came up with it, but it works.
And of course, discerning the difference, and this is important
between the conventional wisdom of the day and the reality
of the terrain. People are always being sold something and

(38:15):
obviously watching it happen right now. Narratives narratives, whether it
be in politics, which we've talked about here, whether it
be as far as our our system of governance is concerned,
and most certainly it's the same thing when it comes
to investing. They get that. You don't think that the
media outlets all do the same thing. Oh we got

(38:36):
this narrative, we got dot com, Ah, we got real
estate market going like Gangbusters and pre construction condos. We've
got this narrative. We got that narrative, and they push it.
They push it because it sells, because people buy into
it and they clamor for it. And again, you do

(39:00):
of these things. You drive yourself off a cliff, get
the help you need, Get to our website, Watchdog on Wallstreet,
dot Com, our personal CFO program, our podcast, our newsletter,
all sorts of great stuff. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com.
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Street. Well no
one alter, investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, trader. Chris Markowski

(39:53):
is the watch dog on Wall Streets exposing the lines
and myths that them being broke rich firs, 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 Wall Streets.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
All right, welcome back, Welcome back everybody. I have to
start off this hour of the program. I got to
offer up an apology. I do. I have to offer
up an apology. All our listeners pointed this out to me,

(40:43):
as as you well know, I'm always ripping, ripping into
government workers here on the program all the time. And
I think you again, I grow up in Albany, New York.
Grew up in Albany, New York. Yeah, and state capital,
big blue state, lots of government offices. It was like

(41:05):
an ongoing joke even since I was a kid. It's
a kid we ever had the uh you know, you
take the bus to school and you'd have that something
for lucky. You'd have the cool bus driver that would
have the remember the old school speakers that we put
up there, and he would be playing the classic rock station.
Uh yeah, Picks one oh six. That was the one
in Auburny, New York when I grew up. And they

(41:27):
would do their bits, the morning show guys making fun
of the government workers. It was. It was bloody hilarious.
It really was all the jokes and stuff they would plan.
But again, there's a lot of what people wanted there.
As you know, part of the culture there in Auby,
New York is you go to high school and you know,
maybe you go to college, maybe you don't, but your
your big goal was getting a job as a government worker.

(41:48):
Well I get this email. I was like, Chris, Chris,
you've got to differentiate, man, You got to differentiate between
government workers in government employees. And I thought about it,
and I'm like, he's right, that's right, and my apologies,
my apologies into all government employees. I apologize deep down inside.

(42:14):
What is the difference? Okay, government employees are people that
actually take pride in their work. They actually do their job.
Now we all know, we all know that over ninety percent,
ninety percent of the work that actually needs to be

(42:34):
done and government is done by probably less than ten
percent of government employees. The rest of them are government workers.
And there's a big difference. And actually people say this, Chris,
aren't you worried that you're going to upset all these
people and you know you're making fun of them and
they're not going to be clients. What you know, how

(42:59):
many government employees that I have as clients, a lot,
a lot from all over the country, and they agree
with me. Why because they're the ones that are doing
the work. They're the ones that are working their tails
off at actually doing their job and doing the right

(43:20):
thing and not sitting on their buttocks for most of
the day playing solitaire on their computer. As far as
the government workers are concerned, do you think I want
to have people like that as clients?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
No?

Speaker 4 (43:37):
But anyway, anyway, and again I apologize, I will check
myself and I will again let them it's a big
difference between government employees and government workers. Anyway. Anyway, this
is something I've been meaning to talk about here for

(43:58):
some time sometime here on the program. This is delicate.
This is delicate. One of the more difficult things that
I have to do what we have to do at
Markowski Investments as advisors. These numbers are striking as far
as businesses are concerned. A twenty years study was conducted

(44:22):
that this is from wealthy families, wealthy family and instead
it's people families that own businesses. A people don't really
understand what wealth really is and body, I mean's money
in your bank account. It's not just that you know,
wealth is what you have, what you own to times businesses,
whether it be restaurants or stores, whatever it may be.

(44:44):
Seventy percent of wealthy families lost that wealth by the
second generation, ninety percent by the third. You know, I'm
gonna call it. I'm gonna call it the Fredo conundrum
after Fredo COLERIONI okay, okay, and I'm being honest. This

(45:10):
is these are conversations that I have to have, I
have to have with clients. Listen, this is what I
recommend you know. This is a succession twenty twenty five
you may have built this wonderful business. You may have
built this wonderful, wonderful business and from the ground up,

(45:34):
the ground up. As a matter of fact, it might
as well make an announcement right now, I'm actually starting
another radio show entitled work Time and Effort. It's going
to be it's actually the title title of my book,
which is coming out in the next couple of months,
And basically the radio show is going to be a conversation,
conversation between myself and business owners and their backstory and

(45:58):
how they built their business. You know what it is,
you know what it takes, you know what you went through,
you know what it's like. You know it's like when
you when you're building your business in the hours that
you put in for no money. And again, you know,
I get it. You know, we're parents and oftentimes we

(46:20):
all have that tendency to spoil our children. It doesn't
always work. You may have dreams I want my kids
to take over. I want my kids to take over
my business. Again, make sure make sure that's what they

(46:41):
really want. Don't delude yourself, don't kid yourself that they're
going to be able to handle it, because yeah, I
have to explain this to certain clients, and I'm like,
I understand you. You want to take care of your kids,
but you might want to do it maybe in a

(47:02):
different way. Because one of the things, one of the
things I'm explaining that to my son this past week
about helping people as an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur, you're
helping people. You're employing people, people put food on the table,

(47:27):
people able to raise their families based upon your business.
And you know, again I understand understand you want to
hand that off over to your kids. You'd like your
kids to take over, but you also have to think
about the people that work for you too. In all
small business can testify to this because your employees they're

(47:50):
like family to you. There they become like family. So again,
this is something we do at Markowski Investments and helping
with this transition. You know, maybe this is a twenty
year study, and again I will I haven't seen the
internals and maybe the the you know, the valleys and

(48:14):
the pikes and maybe generational bits in regards to certain
points in time, and hopefully this will will change to
some degree. But I just just I've got three kids.
I got three kids, and I have put apps zero
pressure on them to come and work for me. That

(48:34):
is something that they want to do. And in fact,
out of college they're not gonna work for me. I
won't allow it. With things of doing and say, hey, listen,
you gotta go figure some stuff out on your own.
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta go, you know, go
and live somewhere, get your own apartment somewhere, work for
somebody else. Okay, you gotta you gotta learn some things.

(48:57):
And then you know, then you come back to me,
and you you I want to talk to you. You want
to become a part of this, this firm of ours here,
this family business that we've built up. It's not just
going to be handed over to you. Not gonna work
that way anyway. Anyway. I also have to talk about
this as well. Again. You know, wee can week out

(49:20):
here on the program for twenty five years will be
covering ripoffs and scams, and one of the lines we
get across is say get rich quick Connors the world's
second oldest profession. Well, as it turns out, ah boy,
we're going back over twenty years now. Over twenty years

(49:41):
ago I was covering this here on the program and
nobody listened. Nobody listened. I wish I had the receipts
and the messages and the nasty phone calls that I
would get from people back when I was covering this store,
ah ripping on, what do you know? You're not a

(50:03):
billionaire he is? What do you know? You don't know anything?
Why are you knocking this guy? Alan Stanford? Alan Stanford
had a seven point two billion dollar ponzi scheme going
on and again this it was so obvious, it was

(50:24):
so right in front of your face that this was
an utter scam, and nobody did a damn thing about it.
You know, I felt like a fool. I'm yelling and
screaming on this program. Why isn't the SEC? If you're right, Chris,
Why isn't the SEC doing anything? Why isn't Finnward doing anything?

(50:48):
Where is the FBI? You don't know what you're talking about. Oh.
I had radio stations drop me, drop me because Alan
and Stanford was one of their advertisers. You remember Alan Stanford.
He was selling CDs that's right guaranteed, right guaranteed certificates

(51:10):
of deposit from a bank and Antigua at CD rates.
I think that they were like twelve thirteen percent, And
I'm saying to myself, how is that possible? How is
that possible? How does how does one take one's money

(51:33):
take one's money? I don't want to back then, I
don't know what the interest rates were. Maybe they were,
you know, six percent, five six percent, maybe that was
the CD rates at the time. I can't even remember.
How is he able to show more than double what
the going rate was at any bank through the Bank
of Antigua. How is that possible? That's all I said. Well,

(51:54):
you don't get it, you know, no, I didn't get it.
You're right, and neither do you. But you just got
greedy seven point two billion dollars. And he ran this
scam right in front of everybody, Commercials on TV, advertisements

(52:14):
in Forbes and Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, and I'm
I'm yelling and screaming, like I said, how is this?
Why are you people allowing this? You know this is
not real. You know this is gonna collapse. But nobody cared.
Nobody cared. Any of those media outlets care. No, they
just were happy getting paid for the advertisements that they

(52:36):
were getting. I don't care about you. They don't care.
Here give me times Forbes before they asked, Chris, we
would like to do a profile for you in our
in our Morkowski investments and in our magazine. I tell
him to take a lot. I won't even get near you.
Disgust me. You're gross. They're all gross. How is this not?

(52:59):
I mean, honestly, any radio stations out there, what is
wrong with you? Why would you allow a con artist
to do this? And again they're all like Sergeant Salts,
I know nothing, I see nothing, No nohing care about
is their ad dollars to me? That's again, that's that's
not capitalism. Capitalism is not getting over on somebody. It's

(53:22):
not what it's about. It's about two parties getting together
and both leaving and both being happy. Well this, you know,
I guess this. This Ponzi scheme lawsuit is now over
sixteen year old lawsuit, seven point two billion dollar scheme. Yep,
they imposed a five point nine billion dollar fine on Stanford.

(53:45):
He's in jail. What good is that going to do?
Correct sixteen years? Think about it. They've been working on
this for a sixteen year case. So you got to
think about all the people. This is part of the
racket too. All all, all of the prosecutors, all of
the lawyers, all the people have been sucking all of
this money, any of the money that was recovered. Guess

(54:06):
who's sucking that money out now? The lawyers not going
back to the people that were ripped off. Nah, they
gotta have court cases that go on for ten years.
It's like when the government, uh decides to build a
highway in New York or or or dig a hole
in Boston, the big dig out there. They gotta keep
it going for decades. Gotta keep these lawyers paid, keep

(54:27):
them so they can buy their boats and have their
you'll go to their golf clubs and all this stuff.
And who's the fool you are? Don't be a fool,
do things the right way. Get to help you now,
I mean, I'm sorry, man, I don't. I don't. I'll
be got at some point in time. You gotta understand.

tax dollars are going. How about that? Ay, fifty six.

Speaker 5 (55:48):
Million dollars to the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Yes, in Davos. We're all of the richie rich people,
part of the big club, all of the Bond villains
of the world get together. You helped pay for their party.
You helped pay for their party. Again, I'm a big
James Bond fan. Uh like Spectra you know, you know,

terrorist organization. Yeah, you get that little octopus symbol there. Yeah,
you pay for their party and that wonderful use of
your tax dollars. Why aren't you thrilled that it's going
to all of those criminals? Anyway? Ah, right, here we go.

(56:39):
I gotta I gotta mention this here, this this again.
Boil boy. Yeah, it's like that line from Jurassic Pork
boil boy. Do I hate being right all the time? Well?
Two years ago, two years ago here on the program,
we were making fun of the teamsters and Teamster boss

(57:02):
Sawn O'Brien, he's got a historic labor agreement with the UPS.
And I'm looking at these numbers and I'm saying to myself,
you've got a labor agreement, I said, the UPS is
kind of they can't handle this. They're gonna have to
lay people off. Well, have you seen UPS as stock lately?

(57:27):
Oh yeah, you see what they have to do now?
Oh yeah, They're gonna have to close ten percent of
their buildings. They're going to reduce the size of their
vehicle and their aircraft fleets. They are also gonna be
firing people, that's right. They just had to cut half
their delivery business with Amazon, which is its largest customer.

(57:49):
Why because they can't afford to do Amazon deliveries? Why? Well,
the twenty twenty three UPS agreement increase the average compensation
for full time drivers over five years to one hundred
and seventy thousand from one hundred and forty five thousand.

(58:10):
Not to mention, you get up to seven weeks of
vacation and you don't pay any healthcare premiums. This was
Sean O'Brien at the time. Teams have set a new
standard and raised the bar for pay, benefits and working
conditions in the package delivery industry. Oh yeah, you did.
Oh yeah, you did, and now tens of thousands of

(58:32):
your workers are going to be laid off because they
can't afford to pay it. Again, you can, you can
cut whatever contract you want, can have whatever minimum wage
you want. But eventually, okay, eventually companies have to run
in the black, not in the red. And you know,
it's all well and good, and I get it. I
get okay, you know, I want people to make as

(58:54):
much money as possible. One hundred and seventy thousand. I mean, honestly,
it's it's nuts, it really is. Anyway, Anyway, I gotta
go off on this as well. A couple stories here.
Here's one out of Maryland, the calif California ification of Maryland.

(59:15):
That's one, and the other one is Kaned proposes massive
rate hikes that could increase New Yorker's gas and energy
bills by one hundred and fifty bucks a month. So
here in the state of not here. I'm not here
in Maryland. They're in the state of Maryland. They're gonna
raise their top income tax rate to six point five
percent from five point seventy five. All the rates going up.

(59:37):
Kathy Hochel in New York has got all sorts of
green dreams there meeting everybody's electric and gas bills going
up by one hundred and fifty bucks. Wha, okay, sorry sorry.
You know what, people, You get what you vote for. Okay,
you decide to live there, you vote for these fools.
You get what you deserve at some point in time.

(01:00:02):
At some point in time, maybe you'll wake up. Maybe
these states will hit rock bottom and they'll move on.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
We'll be back shop where.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Street, the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Only man who is taking on the Wall Street establishment.
You're listening to the Watchdog and Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
All right, got another one, he's another one. Here's your
here's your tax dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Forty million dollars, forty million dollars for AIDS drugs for
transgender prostitutes in South Africa.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
Okay, do you do you think do you think that
money is going where you think it's going? Huh? How many?
How many transgender prostitutes are there in South Africa? Forty
million dollars for AIDS drugs for transgender product Again, what

(01:01:32):
a load of lies. What a load of lies? Do
you understand? People have boats, People are going on fancy vacations,
people have ferraris. Because we are a bunch of stupid
idiots that vote for these same people, same donkeys, same elephants,

(01:01:55):
that will take our money and just throw it away
because you know what, they're gonna get their kickbacks and
their deals too. You know, I'm gonna get into blackmail.
American Hustle, American you know we will do that, now,
why won't we? Why we'll do American Hustle twenty twenty five.
You remember that movie, American Hustle. It was a great film,

(01:02:18):
great film in that movie and we've we've talked about
it here on the program. It was actually about the
ab scam scandal. This was back in the day, back
in the day when politicians would just get a suitcase
full of cash, and that's when it was the case
it was. It was played by Jeremy Rightman. It was
the mayor of Camden, New Jersey in this case. But

(01:02:41):
you understand what's going on right now in USAID and
what we're seeing and stories like this, He's gotta understand
how bribery works today in America. Now if you want
to bribe, Let's say you want to bribe at general.
You want to bribe a four star and it happens

(01:03:01):
to it doesn't happen, it does They're not get a
suitcase full of cash. Okay, It's not like you're bribing
a general in Africa where you gotta pay him cash.
Here it's different. And this is what helped lead to
the destruction of great companies like Boeing. You were your
defense contractor, as John Conrad put together, and he's spot on,
if you're a defense contractor in the United States, what

(01:03:23):
you do? You invite the general. Oh, that's We're gonna
have a nice dinner were I'm gona you know what,
We're gonna go to this great place I know in Georgetown.
We're gonna have a great meeting. Comes thank thank the
general for all he's done and is dedicated support the
on on the project for the American people. And you
give him a little eyewink right there. Then you you

(01:03:45):
you throw out there say hey, you know we might
have we just might have a board seat opening up
at our company within the next five years, and we
like to consult you. We'd like to talk to you
about you know, maybe finding a good candidate for that
board seat. Fast forward five years later, bada boom bata bing.

(01:04:07):
Guess who gets that board seat. Yes, that four star
general and that pays five hundred thousand dollars a year
for five years, for maybe a week's worth of work
a year. But then again, you also can play the
old board seat shuffle two, where you do contracts with
certain companies that he helps bring on and then they

(01:04:28):
can sit on each other's boards. I want to do,
congress person, same thing. This is this is how this
this forty million dollars goes to South Africa. There's a
there's an NGO, there's a nonprofit attached to that. Oh,
you get the you get the congress person to steer it.

(01:04:49):
Juicy contract your way. You take some of that money
and then you set up a nonprofit. Nothing too fancy.
You just can move some money around. Then, you know what,
that congressman, that center, whatever it may be, they get
voted out all of a sudden. Oh jeez, you get
a board seat on that and then you use after

(01:05:12):
that they've got connections, and then you use those connections
to secure a USAID grant from the next wave of
congressmen that will eventually get board seats. Rinse and repeat,
rints and repeat. You keep the Ponzi scheme going, and
just like that, you have yourself a self sustaining influence machine.

(01:05:35):
American Hustle twenty twenty five. Oh yeah, I've also talked about,
Oh geez, the speaking engagements, book deals. How about Joe Biden.
Joe Biden signed with CAA this week? What is he
going to start in the next stile? I don't know.
Weekend at Bernie's. He just signed with with a major

(01:05:57):
talent agency. Yeah he did, Yeah he did. Because again
he's he's got to get paid. That's how they're going
to get him his kickbacks in another way, the same
way Obama got money through books and Netflix deals and
all sorts of stuff, same nonsense. Clinton's you name it
again again? People? Do you do you? Do you like

(01:06:21):

above their garage, and he dared the Feds to try
to get her. Hey actually did this was being interviewed,

(01:10:11):
being interviewed. Then up here comes Tom Homan, Alpha male. Okay,
no nonsense, law enforcement officer. Okay, the uh he's like
the John Wade type up there. Then he says, yep,
I got note of it. Not gonna let it go,

(01:10:32):
Gonna look into it, Gonna make sure that he's not
involved criminally in harmoning a legal alien. Again, Murphy comes
out after the fact. Beta male comes out and admits
it was all a lie. He admitted the whole thing

(01:10:52):
was a lie. No, no, no, uh there was. It
was an idea, It wasn't a reality. Trying in a
backpedal on the entire story. Again, that's what we got
in this country. Alpha males and beta mails. And you
know what alphas stand up for, crying out loud. Watchdog
on Wall Street dot com, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com

(01:11:15):
will be back.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Chris Borkowski is the watchdog on Wall Street bringing America

(01:11:40):
financial freedom. One listener at a time. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Borkowski about kiddos.

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
Yeah, we got some more here, got some more as
some of the things that again they're going after us Aid,
but now they're going after other aspects of government as well,
all of the crap within the Department of Energy. Again,
there's another department that we need to get rid of,
the Department of Energy. None do anything create energy. No. Actually,

(01:12:15):
the new Energy Secretary just just expose the entire scams,
talking about how we've spent over two trillion with a
t over two trillion dollars to try to change over
to non centsrical energy crap, and we've lowered the amount

(01:12:36):
of fossil fools that we use by two percent, two
trillion dollars. And the Left is coming out now again
they're lying, which is disgusting about everything they're now trying.
Dose is also going into Medicare and Medicaid. And we
know that this has been so much fraud involved with

(01:12:59):
Medicare and medicaid fraud. We know this, There's been stories
about it. But the Left is coming out and saying that, oh,
Dose is gonna take away your Medicare. Dose is gonna
take away your Medicaid. No, they want to save it.
They want to get rid of all the crooks. And oh,
don't even get me started on the Department of Education.

(01:13:19):
We go off on the talk about that we're gonna
have to test scores. Take a look at the amount
of money that has been spent. Any of you left
wing idiots out there, you think the Department of Education
was put in the Constitution by James Madison For crying
out loud, Jimmy Carter crafted that entire thing. What do
they do? What does the Department of Education do? And

(01:13:41):
if they are doing something, they're doing it wrong. Because
we spend more and more money, we get more and
more administrators, and kids' test scores get worse. Oh no,
what are we all gonna do? Oh without a Department
of Education? Oh no, who's gonna tell our kids that
they they're pre vileged and they need to check their privilege?

(01:14:02):
And give him some sort of gay porn or some
sort of transgender drag show. Take a deep breath, Watchdog
on Wall Street dot Com. I know I'm getting a
little riled up here, but these things rile me up. Anyway,
we got to talk about this story. Okay, this is
an immigration story. Again, this is the mainstream media, mainstream

(01:14:26):
media getting everybody worried, but talking about what chee, look
what Trump is doing. Trump's rounding up, rounding up all
of these illegals, and who who's gonna pick our crops?
What's gonna happen? So here is CBS. CBS goes out
and interviews an American farmer, American farmer who admits, admits

(01:14:47):
that he hires illegal migrants and now his workers are
not showing up because of ice. Only five pickers showed
up this morning to harvest his sweet potatoes. This farmer,
Keith Smith, saw the possible ruin the loss of his

(01:15:07):
half million dollar crop two hundred acres. He needs twenty pickers,
mostly Mexican nationals. Okay, they interview, they interview some of
the Mexican workers that are there. Some have been doing
it since nineteen ninety two. You want to know how
much these workers are getting paid a day? One hundred bucks,

(01:15:32):
one hundred dollars a day for twelve hours work, one break.
I want to to get your arms around that. And again,
all you people on the left, you're looking out for
the illegals, you're looking out for the illegals. You discuss me,
this farmer. This farmer discussed me. You're paying slave wages

(01:15:54):
is what you're paying. You should be ashamed of yourself.
This is one of the things that people failed to
get their arms around. Okay, we have, we have visa
programs to bring migrant workers in. And guess what this farmer,
this lazy ass farmer, didn't do that. He'd rather take

(01:16:14):
the illegals and pay them less than do things the
right way and go through the system. This is why
both Democrats and Republicans for years, and the US Chamber
of Commerce, they love illegal immigration because they want cheap workers.
This is nonsense. My old church, when I used to
live in I used to live a little bit further
south than I did now area Cold Lakewood Ranch, Florida,

(01:16:39):
and we'd be ratting, gathering clothes and food, all this
stuff for the migrant workers. It made me sick to
my stomach. But this is what we're supposed to do.
I remember what's his name there was it, Stephen Colbert
doing some bid on a strawberry farm. About the workers.
They have to do, if you actually cared about them,
make them legal, go through the visa system. They're not

(01:17:03):
paying a prevailing wage. Plus you know, not to mention
the fact we're gonna have a lot of lot of
a lot of x US AID and government workers and
NGO people. They are going to be looking for work shortly.
Maybe get them out there to go pick the sweet potatoes.
One hundred dollars a day, no benefits, no healthcare, no nothing.

(01:17:32):
And again, I don't know how how you left this.
You you think this is okay? Anyway, I gotta quickly
touch on this story as well. This was interesting. One
of the wealthiest men in the world, Bernard I'll know,
he's the uh CEO of Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton, and

(01:17:54):
he is in France and he says, I've just returned
from the United States. Is able to see the wind
of optimism prevailing in that country, And when you come
back to France after spending a few days in the USA,
it's a bit of a cold shower. I must say.
You've got the impression in that the United States, you're
welcomed with open arms. Taxes are going to drop to

(01:18:17):
fifteen percent. The workshops you can build in the USA
are subsidized, and in a whole series of States. The
American President encourages business. The market is growing fast and
again he's talking about what's happening here in the United States,
what we can build here in the United State. Again,

(01:18:38):
what a wealthyesse guys in the world. French for crying
out loud. How often do you see a French guy
tout the USA and maga anyway? Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com.
Watchdog on wallstreet dot com again, become a part of
our family of personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all sorts

(01:18:59):
of great stuff. Watchdog at wallstreet dot com. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets. Well known
authored investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst trader Chris Markowski is

(01:19:32):
the watchdog on Wall Streets 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 (01:19:45):
You can't handle the true.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
Truth 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 Streets.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
I was thinking about this the other day. He's been
longtime listeners. And I know my family. I've got got
three kids, got two sons and a daughter, and they're
all in college right now. I'm in year one of
empty nester. But they're all athletes playing sports in college.

(01:20:27):
So I'm still chasing them around and going all over
the place. But again, they're all different. What's interesting is
the boys when it comes to money and spending, they
won't spend anything. They need something unless they ask, unless
they ask Dad, I need this or can I have

(01:20:47):
and they're you know, I feel bad asking and I'm like, no,
that's fine, that's okay. My daughter, on the other hand,
she's one of those people who just do something and
maybe ask for forgiveness later. He does what she wants.
She just goes and she spends. She puts his grin
on her face and she knows what she can get
away with quite clever. And I was thinking about it,

(01:21:12):
and you know, with her spending, and I was kind
of like, if I went to my daughter and I said,
you know, Aparsia, you got to show me what you're spending. Well,
I gotta see this, I gotta see receipts on where
all of this money is going. I want to see
all this, And she came back to me and she's, Dad,
I can't do that. It would be a threat to democracy.

(01:21:34):
In essence, it's it's the same thing that we're watching
in Washington, DC. But anyway, anyway, I was talking about
green crap at the end of the last hour of
the program. This is good, this is good. We got
some common sense coming back. I want to talk a
little bit about this. This is important. We don't have

(01:21:57):
our grid is an issue here in this country, and
we most certainly need more electrical generation here in this country,
without a doubt that. Again, that's what was part of
the whole joke behind the electric car thing. I said,
we don't have a grid that can handle this, and
they are mandating electric cars in California, and then they
have brownouts and they're telling people not to charge their cards.

(01:22:19):
But anyway, this is interesting PGM Interconnection, which coordinates the
movement of wholesale electricity for about sixty five million people
in some of the eastern Midwestern states. They are now
got fifty new projects that they've got in the works
right now aiming at improving the grid. And again, these

(01:22:42):
are all not solar, not win. These are massive natural
gas generators, which is great. And again i'd also like
to see and we've talked about this on the podcast,
where we need to start moving again towards clear power here,
there and everywhere. That's the answer. Europe can't get out

(01:23:06):
of their own way. They just can't. We're able to
do it. We will attract so much business. I mean cheap, reliable,
stable energy that lifts everything up. It changes the dynamic completely.

(01:23:29):
Europe again, they can't get out of their own way.
They've got manufacturing economies in Germany that are failing because
of their policies. And again they're still banging their head
against the wall. We would attract so much manufacturing here
to this country simply be people like, well, you know
labor costs are too high, Well, you can offset labor

(01:23:51):
costs by having really, really inexpensive energy. And that's the
way to do it. Anyway, long knives are out right now,
and again I told you they're outside of if you
want to call us alternative media. Still, there's some great
talk programs out there, certain podcasts that are out there,

(01:24:13):
certain you know, online publications, not most certainly not the
mainstream media and I'm actually glad to see that the
White House is now allowing some of these media outlets
into the briefing room. And I think, I think that's fantastic.
But the mainstream and again they always tell you Wall

(01:24:35):
Street Journals a conservative publication. No it's not, it's no,
it's every day. Again. I read it. I read the
New York Times. I look at all these things that
Wall Street Journal has a bunch of kids writing for
them right now. I mean you, every byline has like
four writers for crying out loud outside of some of
the ones that the writers that have actually been there

(01:24:56):
for a long period of time. Three of four for
writers for a simple article for christ I mean you, Kidney.
And then you click on I always doing I click on?
I said, what in the world did they just say,
I click on? Or bui? And again this is some child,
some kid that's now working at the Wall Street Journal
that doesn't know what they don't know, and again has

(01:25:16):
got their I want to change the word mentality. And again,
if you want to change the world, don't become a journalist,
actually change the world. You're a journalist. You're supposed to
report on what happened. You're not supposed to take your
narrative and your ideas to it. But again it's not
their fault. They take their direction from their editors. And
we explain how this works. The bureau chiefs around the

(01:25:39):
country on through saying what stories are going to run.
They all coordinate on this, and you're going to see
more and more stories going after Trump's Trump's ideas and
what he wants to do when it comes to business
here in this country. Case in point, here's the story
Trump's conflicting business policies, so economic unso certainty. And this

(01:26:00):
is how they write articles nowadays. That's their idea, that's
the narrative. That's what they're pushing. That's what they're gonna push.
The New York Times, that's what they're gonna push it,
The Washington Post, that's what they're gonna push. They're gonna
push it everywhere. Okay, So what the Wall Street Journal
does is they go out and they find people, find
businesses that back up what they're saying. That might be

(01:26:23):
concerned about Trump tariffs, might be be concerned about, oh man,
he's supporting all these workers. We're not gonna be able
to have workers, and they craft a story which becomes
completely onsided, saying, see, see this is what Trump's doing.
All businesses are uncertain, all businesses are scared, which again

(01:26:45):
is complete and are not. This is not journalism, okay,
this is this is not a story that belongs in
the Wall Street Journal. This is a story that again
it's propaganda, that's all it is. I took journalism. I
know how it's supposed to be done. This is not
this is not what it is. Okay, this is pushing

(01:27:09):
a narrative. And again you have to learn to discern
this when you're reading stories. And he was a funny
one as well. Again, this has been going on for
some time. I remember making fun of Thomas Friedman, Thomas
Freedman New York Times being being interviewed. I think he
was being interviewed. I forget who was doing it. I
don't know. Maybe it was Jeff Gregory. I can't remember exactly.

(01:27:31):
But he had come back, this is during the Obama years.
He'd come back from China and he was amazed, Wow,
look at you know, they got all these these shiny
new airports and fancy subway stations and all this in
the Wi Fi was great on the subway and he
had this. Oh, if only Obama had the power of

(01:27:53):
the Communist Party and to poll up bureau, what he'd
be able to get accomplished? Again, Uh, this is funny,
this is uh, this is the start of their column here.
China's disease is building economic fortress against US pressure. A
day in China could easily start like this. Roll out

(01:28:16):
of bed and swipe through we chat messages on here
Huawei's smartphone, Hop into a by D electric car and
drive to the railroad station where a high speed train
from a state run factory risks you to your destination.
Chinese design nuclear plants, solar farms, and wind turbines power
the city's lights. You can almost hear the Jetsons, the

(01:28:39):
whole Jetson's theme music playing in the background while they're
writing this thing. China is building coal fire plant after
coal fire plant after coal fire plant. They actually did
a comparison of the the worst pollution, the worst the
worst pollution in the world. Okay, we're actually comparing the

(01:29:02):
most polluted cities in America. Most of them are in California,
actually air pollution, and they're not even you can't even
compare to the type of pollution they have in China.
They actually did it. Discovery talking about the plastics that
are going into the ocean. Over ninety percent of it
comes from three Chinese rivers. But oh theop that's again

(01:29:26):
that's the government running everything. We're from the Wall Street Journal.
China z is building an economic fortress. No, they're not. Okay,
they're in deep deep do do they had a one
China policy. They have an eging demographic. They have no
social safety net for elderly people. None. People counted on

(01:29:51):
the value of their real estate to go up, much
like people in this country counted on their pre construction
condos to help them to become the next Donald trum Up.
That didn't work out, except it as a zillion times
worse over there. That's where most municipalities generate their revenue
by selling real estate. They've got entire cities that were

(01:30:13):
built up, Zijian being built. This city, I think it
was like sixty seventy billion dollars, empty, empty economic fortress. No,
you see, this is part of the problem. This is
why we're getting into tariffs and trade issues. China decides
to back all sorts of manufacturing and throw all sorts

(01:30:36):
of money into things, and guess what, they don't have
enough people to buy the stuff that they want, so
they just go ahead and sell it at massive losses
all over the globe. That's a problem. That's called dumping,
and that's what they've been doing. No economic fortress. Their

(01:30:56):
economy is an absolute disarray. And again I look at this,
quite frankly, as an opportunity, an opportunity not to take
advantage of the situation and where you're trying to one
up on them. They know they're in that, We know

(01:31:16):
that they're in that situation. Maybe have some sort of
meeting in the minds where we can actually, you know,
maybe aid them and help them to get out of
this situation. Yeah, and I know they've done a lot
of theft, a lot of that. Again, but a corporate
America allowed it. Okay, CEOs here in this country, Okay,
short term gain rather than looking at the bigger picture. Again,

(01:31:39):
they were more concerned about their bonuses and get that
stock up right away. Got to get involved in the
China market, and China says, okay, you want to sell,
you want to sell here in China, Well, you got
to hand over all of your uh, you got to
hand over all of your your product designs. What you do,
you got to explain it towns where and then what
we gotta have part ownership and you've got to build

(01:32:00):
it here. And what did Corporate America they do? Sure,
no problem now after China has stolen all of their
ideas and whatnot that you know now they're not happy
about it. It's their fault. They didn't have to make
that deal. They chose to anyway. Gotta take a break.
We don't go to do We're gonna talk up a

(01:32:20):
little bit about foreign policy. We haven't done that in
sometime here on the program. When we get back again,
I want to mind everybody Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
That is that's our website. You got to get there.
You got to take advantage of our personal CFO program,
our podcast, our newsletter, all sorts of great stuff there
to site. We welcome everyone Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com

(01:32:43):
or give us a call eight hundred four seven one
fifty nine eighty four.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
You should believe in math not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
This is uh aah. This has been something we have
been talking about some time here on the program Watch
Start on Wall Street Show. We cover everything. This is
not a buy selling whole program. We cover we cover
our financial preparation issues, and we teach about the right
things and the wrong things when it comes to markets

(01:33:35):
and your money. But guess what, people, our biggest concern,
my biggest concern, My biggest concern is I want to
I want to leave this world a better place than
it was when I came on it. I want my
children to grow up in a world where they can
succeed beyond their wildest dreams. Uh, succeed and fail, because

(01:33:56):
that's a part of it. Failure is a part of
life and for generations now, we've been lied to by
the people and power. We've been propagandized into nonsensical wars.
We've spent trillions of dollars, We've killed countless Americans sending

(01:34:21):
them off the fight and for nonsense. Quite frankly, and again,
it's high time we change. It's time we shut down
Team America, world police, rules based international order. Yes, all
of these elitists, globalists, their meetings, NATO, all of this

(01:34:47):
crap needs to be shut down. I want to share
with you. Okay, there was a column in the Wall
Street Journal this past week, written by Under Rasmussen. If
you're not familiar with this dude, he was the Secretary
General of NATO from two thousand and nine to twenty

(01:35:10):
fourteen and Prime Minister of Denmark two thousand and one
to two thousand and nine. And he doesn't like this
Trump fella. The first weeks of the Trump administration have
been very difficult, even painful. I've dedicated much of my
life to a rules based international order led by the US,
and I worry that it's ending. The world needs a policeman,

(01:35:35):
and since World War II, the US has filled that role.
But what if the policeman no longer exercises his authority
over geopolitical gangsters, it becomes abusive towards the world's steadfast
rule followers. I never imagined I would hear a US
president declares intentions to expand our territory, as Donald Trump
did his inaugural a dress. He continues to suggest that

(01:35:57):
Canner should become the fifty first state, and he has
refuse to rule out military force to secure America's control
the Panama Canal and the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland. Okay,
stop right there, let's review. Okay, we don't want to
be the world policeman. And again, if we were the

(01:36:19):
world policeman, I don't know, maybe just maybe you guys
maybe might want to start paying your bills. You might
want to start paying your bills for everything that we
do and have done for you. Oh, Canada and the
fifty first state. So what made a suggestion? We're not

(01:36:40):
going to invade Canada? Hey, they thrown it out there. Hey,
want to become a fit opportunity. Oh you don't like that?
Oh my god? Is that making people upset? It's going
to offend people. Suck it up, Buttercup, why would if
we need to use military sports? I mean, Panama Canal

(01:37:03):
is a strategic canal. Well, you think we're gonna let
China run that? Hey, we sent Marco Rubio down there,
ended that butt quick. We're gonna do what we want
with that. We built the damn thing Greenland. Oh you
want us to be world policemen, but you don't want

(01:37:23):
us to control all of those shipping lanes, which will
help protect all of you. Anyway. He goes on Vladimir
Putin and Xijenpinger watching if the US can take Greenland
for America's security. Mister z will claim he can invade
Taiwan for Chinese security. Mister Putin's absurd arguments about conquering
Ukraine for Russia's security would be validated by mister Trump.

(01:37:46):
Do you understand how stupid you sound? Again, I find
it hard to believe that you haven't done any I
don't know study at all history when it comes to China,
Taiwan was a part of China. China wouldn't be taking
Taiwan due to some sort of security threat, nor would

(01:38:09):
they even suggest that China, throughout its history has not
been any sort of power that comes and takes countries
over for crying out loud. Hey, let me ask you
a question. Do you know just the European Union recognize
Taiwan as a sovereign nation? No you don't, You don't.

(01:38:31):
Just spare me, okay and oh yeah yeah yeah, US US,
you know, basically getting involved a green Yeah, that's that.
Oh yep, we just signed off on Putin take in Ukraine.
Give me a break, he goes on as a child.
I admired John F. Kennedy, who said that America would
pay any price barony burden. To assure the survival and
the success of liberty. As a young politician, I cheered

(01:38:54):
Ronald Reagan's nineteen eighty five State of the Union address,
in which he said America's mission is to nourish and
defend freedom and devaka. As Danish Prime Minister, I work
with President George W. Bush because I believe Denmark's security
was best guaranteed by a close alliance with the US.
Oh yeah, coalition of the willing. Yeah they I know,
because all of your small European nations. You guys did

(01:39:15):
a lot of fighting over there. Right after mister Trump's
threats against some of America's closest allies, including Denmark, I
have to revise my views today. We Europeans must be
prepared to protect ourselves from those who lie in wait
just outside our borders. Europe must develop a stronger and
more effective defense than tur Russia and any other nation.

(01:39:38):
NATO is still a cornerstone. But given that mister Trump
has raised doubts about America's willingness, Oh no, what are
they gonna do? Good? Good, good, Go ahead, go ahead,
defend yourself. We got to take a break. Watchdog on
Wallstreet dot Com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Don't oh anywhere.

(01:40:01):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Bringing America financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're
listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Morkowski.

Speaker 4 (01:40:25):
Oh, I'm just getting warm. That's right off, just getting warm,
guys with this foreign policy stuff. So you get mister
Rasmussen here, and we're gonna have to start doing things
by ourselves. Good. It's high time. It's like, you know,
it's like a kid who's twenty eight years old playing
video games as parents' basement move out. We'll do seventy

(01:40:49):
years ago for crying out loud, defend yourself. You guys
have been free riding on us for generations. We pay
your bills. That all you do is you write checks,
and you have these fancy pants social welfare programs and
six seven week vacations, eight week vacations for all your

(01:41:11):
citizens that we pay for because we pay for your
dan defense. I don't want to pay for it anymore.
You're worried about Russia rolling in. Guess what, Start buying
some guns. It's not our responsibility. It's high time you
do it. You take a look, take a look at

(01:41:34):
countries that meet NATO's spending targets, which is two percent
of GDP, two percent of GDP. It's not a lot,
not a lot. Two percent of GDP. Poland actually the
most three point nine percent of their GDP. We pay

(01:41:56):
three point five percent, Greece three percent, Estonia two point seven,
Lithuania two point five, Finland two point five, Romania two
point four, Hungry two point four, Latvia two point three,
the UK two point one and the Slovak Republic two
point zero. Everyone else is under two percent. And you're
talking Europe's largest economies France, Germany at one point six percent,

(01:42:24):
Italy at one point five percent, Spain at one point three.
We're fools, We're sucker. Even Obama knew this. Trump brought
it up in his first term, and everybody globally got
the vapors and started clutching their pearls because they were
worried that, oh no, their next party at fancy pants

(01:42:47):
NATO headquarters might not have the finest charnay from France
coming in. This has to stop. Defend yourself. We're we're
not responsible for you. Germany, you know their soldiers actually
train with wooden guns because they don't have them, and

(01:43:12):
now now Donald Trump comes out again. He put it out.
You know, had a lengthy and we said, a lengthy
and productive phone call with President Vaalam Vladimir Putin of Russia,
discussed Ukraine and they are going to be meeting. He's
going to try to put an end to the war.
And what are these people doing freaking out? Ah, some
of these scandadaven countries are Putin's gearing up. He's gearing up.

(01:43:34):
He's gonna be able to invade. He's going to take
over Europe in twenty thirty. Well, okay, if you actually
believe that, might I suggest, might I say, just not
going on vacation for eight weeks out of the year,
making your citizens work a little bit more. I don't know,
maybe building up your military if that's what you actually believe.

(01:43:57):
If you actually believe that to be the why don't
you do something about it? You can't and you won't
because every d you guys complain, plain, complain, and then
you've got no You know, the United States is number
one on the speed dial, number one on the speed dial. Again,

(01:44:18):
we're tired of it over here, Okay, we're outside of
people that are in the military industrial complex and the
people that are part of this whole globalist nonsense. We're
tired of it here, tired of sending kids off to
all these god forsaken places around the globe. Again, it

(01:44:39):
has it worked. There's a great column about it this
past week comparing you know, Trump's foreign policy to what
we've been doing. We've had a Woodrow Wilson foreign policy,
and Woodrow Wilson going all the way back well world
War One. Oh yes, sir, We're gonna carve up the
world and we're gonna have stable borders, and that's going

(01:45:00):
to make everything a okay. It hasn't made anything a okay.
You know, it was funny too. Yeah, remember all the
flack that Trump got. Ah, it's just with this, uh
this Trump got Riviera Gaza, the beaches, beachfront property, the riviera.
You know, as it turned out, you know that that
was proposed before actually did a little homework on this.

(01:45:24):
Trump's Riviera plan for Gaza was first proposed in nineteen
fifty three by the United States and the UK, and
was supported by the UN. Yeah that the problem was
that the Communists and the Muslim Brotherhood basically threatened the well,
the leader of Egypt at the time and caused all

(01:45:48):
sorts of problems. And there was the basically had it
was Naser and then they held a riot and Egypt
pushed back and somebody got killed, people got put in jail,
and the whole thing got got put away. But yeah,
that was actually proposed before be you know, it was
interesting and I called it right away when Trump put
this out there, I said, people in the media either

(01:46:11):
they're they're really that stupid, or they can't again see
the forest for the trees. Trump is basically saying, hey, okay,
either you handle it or I will. Either you take
care of it, or guess what, we'll We'll take that
Gaza strip. Yeah, I'll put it. I'll put Amr al
Lago right there on the beaches of Gaza. This came

(01:46:36):
out this past what came out this was Thursday. Egypt
has launched a diplomatic blitz to corral support for an
Arab led and funded initiative to rebuild the Gaza Strip,
setting aside old political concerns in hopes of boxing out
a Trump plan that is wildly unpopular across the Arab world.

(01:46:57):
Arab states that had once hoped to use their funding
capacity push for a Palestinian state are now under pressure
to prevent a mass displacement of gosins that could destabilize
any countries pressed to take them in. The got exactly
what he wanted. He got exactly what he wanted. Genius.

You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street reads.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
H Yeah, it's funny you're watching. Can you watch these
these doze hearings and you watch these democrats? What we
need to have We need to have professional auditors in
there to handle this stuff. And really and that what

(01:48:28):
you had inspector generals for and they couldn't uncover the fraud.
This is it's so corrupt and it's so screwed up
that they've they find ways of blocking it with all
of this technology and payments and firewalls and all the
crap that they have been doing. Some make suggest that actually,

(01:48:50):
all right, we you know, we got to bring in uh,
you gotta bring in Deloitte or McKinsey. Oh yeah, and
you're gonna pay them again. They've their buddy work at
Deloitte and mcintie. I have zero respect for both Deloitte
and McKenzie. Basically, again, these professional consulting class. They don't

(01:49:12):
build and create. They just go in and they make suggestions.
They make suggestions and they make suggestions kind of like
the Devil's minions demons would do. Tempting CEOs. I watch
it all the time, tempting CEOs to do certain things
or invest in a certain way. Does Deloitte or mckenzy

(01:49:35):
have any skin in the game when they just no, no, no, no, no,
no no again, it's you gotta think about it. It's
a genius business. If you've had an ethical bypass at birth.
They could care less. They're getting paid. And then if
the deal doesn't work out, whatever they're advising doesn't go through, whatever,
maybe they just blame the CEO. It's not our fault.
You just didn't exercise the thing properly. You should have

(01:49:57):
paid us more in consulting fees. You want to bring
Deloitte and McKenzie into the government to go over the books.
No thanks, no thanks again, you gotta love X. Elizabeth
Warren is questioned in regards to all of her all

(01:50:19):
of her contributors, all of Big Pharma and all the
money she's getting, and she just lies and for now
now that's not true. She's throwing a hissy fit. Yeah,
you know, this is a great thing called community Notes
that actually checks all of the lies that you people
put out. And again, they're so used to not being

(01:50:40):
called out on anything, So wonder why they hate X,
they hate Twitter. They can't. They can't lie all the
time or when I'm getting called on it. It's extraordinary.

(01:51:57):
have it at our parties for us old folks. But anyway,
they're here, nor they're That was a creepy video by
Golden Earring back in the day. But anyway, we got
a little fun here. This is file this under I'm
not making this up and again you can find us
a reason number I don't know ten thousand and seven
forty two while why I will not go step foot

(01:52:19):
in the UK again. The British Museum, British Science Museum,
they now have a Seeing Things Queerly tour and they
have it in for Lego. Yep, yep, they have a
thing for Lego because the toy bricks are gendered. They're

(01:52:45):
gendered and reinforces the idea of heterosexuality is the norm.
Lego can be anti LGBT, says the British Science Museum
because they have male and female parts. I'm not making

(01:53:06):
this up again. The stuff that that people there are
really again, these are people that are I mean, we
may have to make fun here, but in all serious
is just people that are really really disturbed. You go
on some of these these left wing social what is

(01:53:28):
it Blue Sky socially, these left wing social media sites,
they got troll conservative trolls out there putting out absolutely
ridiculous things, I mean ridiculous, and people, Oh yes, I
totally agree with that. Rogan was talking about the other day,
You're going on going to Blue Sky. I knew my

(01:53:51):
kid was trans three days old. I knew my kid
was trans Oh yeah, yeah, I mean break yeah they yeah, yeah.
They're having these you know, these rallies now outside of
hospitals because Trump's executive orders targeting what it is. It's
it's it's Old Testament, biblical disgusting crap child mutilation procedures

(01:54:19):
on minors. And then you get the actress there, Cynthia Nixon.
She was in Sex and the City and she's on
the Gilded Age and she's listing all of the people
that are close to her that are transgender. Daughter is transgender,
and niece's transgender best friend, child's trender, her daughter's best
friend is transgender. She's life is filled with transgender people.

(01:54:41):
Charlie's theiron All of her kids are transgender. Do you
know that's like statistically impossible. It's like winning the lottery.
Like every day for a week, you're growing these kids.
What's wrong with you? Again? It's awful, awful and and

(01:55:02):
this is a sad story. It is I did do
a podcast on this. This just again. This made me sad.
And this poor girl again, young woman, poor girl. Lorie Potsky,
Michigan State Rep. Michigan State Rep. You gotta talk about

(01:55:24):
how lonely this person is. Okay, really, no nobody really
looking out for her, no real friends at all. She
sterilized herself, she says, thanks to Donald Trump. The pro
abortion advocate says, she refuses to be treated like currency.

(01:55:44):
What's why she sterilized herself? So, just under two weeks ago,
I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have
to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump's America. I refuse
to let my body be treated as currency by an
administration that only sees value in my ability to pro create.

(01:56:05):
If you know people who are questioning how serious this is,
I'm going to repeat myself. A sitting government official opted
for voluntary sterilization. She was uncertain whether to be able
to access contraception. Again, this is someone she doesn't have
any friends there in the Michigan State legislator that could
talk her off the ledge. Now, they probably didn't want

(01:56:28):
to talk her off the ledge because it moves there.
It moves the ball down the field for them, they'll
sacrifice her. This is someone that is mentally disturbing. I
want to know the doctor that agreed to this. Shame
on you. Shame you didn't. You didn't ask her why
she wanted to do this, and when she gave you

(01:56:50):
that answer, you agreed to it. I don't know where
these people come. She have any friends, you have any
family to try to explain to her how ridiculous what
she's doing actually is. I mean, she sounds like a
true believer as of people that you know, we were

(01:57:11):
hanging out with the Jim Jones drinking a cyanide in
the kool aid. Anyway, this one was funny. Trump terminated
the chairman of the Kennedy Center in DC, appointed himself
new chairman, and that immediately banned all of the drag
shows targeting youth. As it found out after the fact,

(01:57:37):
the person that was fired not making this up. I
just got this making over one and a half million
dollars a year one and a half million dollars a
year running the Kennedy Center. The Kennedy Center has been
run into the ground. It's falling apart. They've burnt through
all of their money. They don't have any resist again.

(01:58:02):
These are incompetent government workers again, hired based upon who
they know and who they backed. Sure they went to
the right schools too. Okay, keep cleaning house, Keep cleaning house,
President Trump, keep cleaning house. Elon God speak, we're all

(01:58:23):
praying for you. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on
