Chris tackles frustrations on the right over recent court rulings, warning against blaming judges without addressing the broader problem: executive overreach. He criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for "judge shopping" and reminds listeners that governing by executive order invites judicial challenges, no matter who is in power. Markowski stresses that real, lasting change must come through Congress—not shortcuts—highlighting examples like citizenship requirements for voting and sanctuary city funding battles. He urges constitutional patience, emphasizing that the solution is legislative work, not more executive orders. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it will have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Markowski Imperial Court System. Well, I'm again, I am going
to tick off a lot of people, a lot of magas,
a lot of people on the right when it comes
to my opinions on what's taken place in the courts
right now. First and foremost, the court's various different courts,
(00:36):
and we all know how this works in this country.
People file suits and they shop for certain judges and
certain jurisdictions to get whatever they want. Republicans will do it,
Democrats will do it. You know who this appointed this judge,
and who appointed this judge. And we're seeing the stories
(00:57):
and how some of these judges well recused themselves connected
to left wing politics here, donated to this politician. They're
all of this stuff. Okay, this what's taken place right
now is nothing new. Now. I want to remind everybody, Okay,
all you maga types, all of you are right wingers
(01:19):
out there that are gonna tell me that ah yeah,
Trump is getting screwed on this. The courts and these
judges need to be a peach. We gotta throw them out.
And these courts are acting like uh like imperial are
acting like kings. Hold on, hold on, we we told
you here on the program. When you rule, when you
(01:41):
when you let how about this, how when you legislate
by executive order you run into this problem. Whether you
are Joe Biden, Joe Biden with his ah yep, nobody
has to payback student loans anymore or what yeah, yeah,
(02:05):
that went away. The courts made that go away. And
again you cheered when that was a case. And right fully,
so what did Joe Biden do? He did this by
executive order? Donald Trump is you know, he's handed out
executive order after executive order after executive order. And I
(02:26):
said from the get go, Republicans better arm themselves with
lots of lawyers to defend these cases. However, again, if
you don't have one, you might want to pick yourself up,
pick yourself up a little pocket. Constitution, there's a right
(02:46):
way and a wrong way of doing things here in
this country, and the right way of doing things is
doing it through the legislature, through Congress. Again, I'll take
you back to the nineteen seventies when we were taught
by Schoolhouse Rock. I'm just your bill, just an ordinary
bill sitting here on Capital.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
He'll you do.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Things through Congress, and mind you, Okay, it takes longer,
it takes longer, but maybe there's a little bit of
wisdom in having things take longer. Even again, you may
you may want to, you may want to put something
forward as an executive order and then as well at
(03:33):
the same time try to turn it into law. But
you know, mind you, Congress, where are they right now?
They're night working. They're on another two week break. Again.
If I was president of the United States, I've got House,
I've got the Senate, I said, you keep going on
any damn breaks. We've got stuff to do. I just
(03:55):
signed an executive order. When it comes to I give
you an example, Medison Ship having to prove that you're
a US citizen before registering devote. You had some wackoshack
left wing, some wacko chef and again I'll call him
a wacko chef, left wing judge, and I disagree with
the ruling. Basically said nope, nope, can't do that, Okay, Okay,
(04:21):
you want to appeal that it's part of our process,
part of our process, but even better, you want to
enshrine it into law, that that's how things are supposed
to work. And don't give me, oh thanks too long,
but you know, don't make it take so long. How
about do your job rather than being a bunch of influencers, okay,
(04:42):
creating content for your YouTube page. It was another one
as well. Thomas Massey pointed this out to me. They're
all upset right now because if federal judge barred the
Trump administration for pulling federal funds from places it deems
sanctuary cities, saying the policy is unconstitutional. Now, would I
(05:08):
like to see that money? Sure, but I haven't read
the ruling. And again, the money was allocated was allocated
by byres, not just by Congress. It was just allocated
by Congress by a Republican Congress in the continuing resolution.
(05:35):
So you just had Republicans sign off on it, sign off.
They were going after Thomas Massey, they were going after
Ran Paul for pushing back in regard to this continuing resolution.
So Republicans just signed off on giving the money to
the sanctuary cities. Now, they're upset. They're upset because a
(06:00):
court said Trump can't do that, because you know, power
of the purse belongs to Congress. I cited a stone
song in my last money. Well here's another one. You
can't always get what you want, okay, and things you
(06:20):
want things to to really work. And it's part of
the problem that we have right now with these various
different election cycles. New president come the new Congress comes in,
and again it's you know, there's there's lack of certainty
because there's so many damn executive orders. We've turned the presidency. Okay,
we've given the executive branch of government too much power,
(06:42):
and I've been railing against this for a very long
period of time. I've also railed against the various different
acronym agencies. We talked about them being judge, jury, and
executioner for how long. You might not like the ruling, Okay,
I'm I'm not a fan of the ruling either, But
(07:02):
I'm also not a fan of the way things are implemented. People.
You don't want to head down a path. We don't
want to head down the path where we have a
presidency that has too much problem. We've done this already
we need to pull back from this. You can go
back to nine to eleven Patriot Act, and you know,
(07:26):
basically the ability of the president are basically, you send
troops and send people to war over nothing. Nothing. We're
supposed to be supposed to declare war, and we don't
do that anymore. Again, look at the Constitution and how
(07:47):
things are supposed to be done. You say, okay, this
judge over here, and you can rip into the judge
and this judge is terrible and it's judges evil whatever. Okay,
appealing it, but better yet, put together some legislation and
get that through Congress. Once you do that, you don't
(08:11):
have to worry about these judges. That's the point. That's
the point. The judge ruling something unconstitution Again, I haven't
read the ruling quite frankly, I'm not a lawyer, but yeah,
there's a point to be made. You might not like it,
you might not like it, but again the judge might
(08:32):
not be wrong. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com
