Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader, Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is what I voted for. What a great day
for the country, What a great day for Donald Trump yesterday. Yeah,
all you people out there, I think that I have
some sort of Trump derangement syndrome. I don't, I don't.
I don't like BS. I'm gonna call it like I
see it. I'm an equal opportunity basher beginning of Trump's term.
(00:38):
You do recall I called it like Christmas every single
day with what was going on with Doge. But this
yesterday was phenomenal. Donald Trump taking a flame thrower, a
literal flame thrower, to.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
All of the neo cons, all of the interventionists, all
of the people that have been telling us that we
need to get into one war after another war after
another war.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Again and again and again. Basically took it to them again,
making bringing America back to what our founders wanted as
far as foreign policy was concerned. A shining city on
a hill an example to the rest of the world,
not this bully that's going to go around telling people
(01:31):
how they should live their lives. I'm gonna go through
some of the things that were said yesterday. I highly
recommend and go and watch Donald Trump's speech. It was again,
I'm gonna be honest with you, it was probably the
best foreign policy speech I've heard since Reagan told Gorbachev
(01:53):
to tear down the wall. I tried to think of
a better one, and I couldn't that. That's how how
good this was. Some excerpts here, Mohammad, do you sleep
at night? How do you sleep? Critics doubted it was
possible what you've done, But over the past eight years,
Saudi Arabia has proved the critics totally wrong and said
(02:16):
the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought
by the people the region themselves, the people that are
right here, the people that have lived here all their lives,
developing their own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions,
charting your own destinies in your own way. Donald Trump
(02:37):
made a point here and actually quiet came over the
crowd when he wished that Saudi Arabia would be joining
the Abraham accords, but he also said you will do
it in your own time. Talked about Iran. I've never
believed in having permanent enemies. I am different than a
lot of people think. I don't like permanent enemies. Sometimes
(02:59):
the enemies to do the job, and you have to
do it right. Enemies get you motivated. I want to
make a deal with Iran. I can make a deal
with Iran. I'll be very happy if we're going to
make your region and the world a safer place. He
offered a much brighter future if Tehran will do a
deal again, something I've said for a very long time,
(03:21):
something that I quite frankly I think is doable. The
people of Gaza deserve a much better future, but that
will or cannot occur as long as our leaders choose
to kidnap, torture, and target innocent men, women and children
for political ends. Here's some of the really the money
(03:42):
quotes from yesterday's speech talking about Saudi Arabia giving them praise.
It's crucial for the wider world to know that this
great transformation has not come from Western interventionists or flying
people in beautiful plains giving you lectures and how to
live and how to govern your own affairs. In the end,
(04:06):
the so called nation builders wrecked far more nations than
they built, and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies
that they did not even understand themselves. No, the gleaming
marvels of Riyad and Abu Dhabi were not created by
the so called nation builders, neo cons or liberal nonprofits
(04:30):
like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing
to develop Bagdad and so many other cities. Instead, the
birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by
the people of the region themselves, the people that are
right here, the people that have lived here all their lives,
Developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions
(04:51):
and charting your own destinies in your own way. They
told you how to do it, but they had no
idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress
ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage,
but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that
same heritage that you love so dearly. You achieved a
(05:14):
modern miracle, the Arabian way. Yes, this is how we
should be treating the rest of the world, not telling
them what to do, how to live their lives. I
remember yelling and screaming about this with Bush and his
speech is that he used to give his his team
(05:35):
America World Police speeches that got to be like us.
I'm like, they're not going to be a Remember at
the time, I said, they're not going to be listening
to Britney spears. In these countries, they do things their way,
and that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that. There's no
reason why we can't do business with these places. And
you know the funny thing is is NASA Nicholas Talb
(05:57):
actually put this out, was talking about how the Golf
States used to basically worship the United States prior to
the nineteen seventies. Hey, you think about think about all
of the all of the interventions that we've been involved
with post World War Two and how they've worked out,
(06:23):
how they were ye, I mean you still have you
still have Vietnam apologists come out and write pieces about Vietnam.
It's amazing to me. And again at the same time,
same time this is taking place, this is at a Libya.
Clashes between heavily armed militias erupted across the Libyan capital
(06:43):
late Monday night, killing at least six people and plunging
Tripoli into renewed violence and fear. We blew that up,
Yeah we did. Yeah. All you Hillary lovers out there, all,
oh yeah, you're intervenious, Obama, we broke that country. I
(07:04):
remember Colon Powell talking about his pottery barn theory. You know,
you break something, you gotta make it better, right right? Right? Sure? Yeah, yeah,
we went in there, took out Kadafi because we were
going to bring democracy. We were gonna bring democracy to Libya.
Oh yeah, we're gonna bring democracy. This is twenty and eleven. Well, yeah,
(07:29):
they have open air, open air slave markets that are
in Libya. That's a big launching point for people leaving
Africa to get into Europe. Why wouldn't you want to
get out? They've got open air slave markets, their civil
war taking place. Do you want to know that prior
prior to our intervention, Libya had the highest per capita
(07:55):
GDP in Africa, per capita GDP in Africa. That's okay,
where the United States We're going to blow you up.
Trump also announced yesterday love This moving all sanctions on Syria.
I'll be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in
(08:17):
order to give them a chance at greatness. In Syria,
which has seen so much misery and death, there is
a new government that will hopefully succeed in stabilize the
country and keeping peace. That's what we want to see again.
We're basically again, this is a foreign policy change. Foreign
policy change. Where we're going to I mean, this is fantastic.
(08:39):
We want to do business. Where do you, United te
We are open for business, we want to trade with you.
We want to do business with you. We're not going
to tell you what to do. This is kind of
what China has been doing for a while around the globe. Now,
China strikes deals with this, you know, make you an
(08:59):
offer you can't refuse, use type of stuff, with loans,
with their whole Belton Road initiative stuff. Believe me, they're
gonna much try to do business with the United States.
This is what we've been doing along. This is the
best type of foreign policy, not opening up bases, not
(09:20):
sending troops, not getting involved, keep thing our pie hole
shot when it comes to other societies and how they
want to live and doing business. Great day, Great day
for Donald Trump. This is exactly what I voted for.
(09:40):
More of this, please, I'll take more of this. President
