and the impact it will have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The more one digs, the more of this whole signal
Gate thing looks like a deep state, and quite frankly,
I don't think it's going to have legs. The conduct
yesterday by certain Democrats in Congress, where's beyond the pale.
(00:37):
And again I've talked about this before. All cameras, all cameras,
all recording devices. Quite frankly, they all need to be
removed from the halls of Congress in these various different rooms.
You want to have people and they're reporting upon what
has said, You want to have transcripts, fine, but the
reality situation is many of these people that supposedly are
(00:57):
representing their constituents, all they are is bill holding their
own brand. That's all basically media influencers putting on a show.
And quite frankly, it's gross. It's an embarrassment to this country.
The line of questioning that went into uh, you know,
was peak Pete Hegseth drinking. Really again, just again, just
(01:25):
looking to put on a show, looking so you can
get on the news and make yourself more famous. And again,
how these people look themselves in the mirror? I don't know.
I don't know, but they're capable of doing it. They're politicians,
this deep state hit And again I gotta give it,
you gotta give kudos. And she's a she's a bomb thrower,
(01:46):
there's no doubt about it all. But uh, you know,
a lot of a lot of a lot of the
bombs that she throws, Uh you know, they're they're guided missiles,
they're spot on. Laura Lumer, Laura Lomer. Actually again, how
is she able to come up with this stuff and
find all of the stuff so accurate? Alex Wang the
(02:10):
Chinese Deputy National Security Advisor, again appointed by Donald Trump.
He is, uh, well, he's at the center of this
signal Gate scandal. He's married to US attorney Candice Chiu Wong,
Chinese woman who was one of the key attorneys involved
(02:31):
in prosecuting the January sixers. Wang was supported by appointed
by Trump this past November to serve as the Assistant
to the President and the Deputy Principal Deputy National Security
Advisor under Mike Walls. Mike Walls, a newly appointed US
at the time, was a US National Security Advisor. Again,
(02:55):
his wife worked for Obama and Biden as an United
States attorney. She led the Violence, Production and Trafficking Offenses
section for more than two years. She went after the
January Sixers also served as a law clerk to Obama
(03:16):
appointed US Supreme Court justice uh So to Mayor Alex
Wong worked for Covington and Berling, which is one of
the law firms that uh Trump just stripped of its
security clearance and terminated all of their government contracts. Again, this,
(03:40):
how did how did this person get involved with this?
And uh you know, being involved? And how did this?
You know, how did Goldberg's name get on this signal? Chat?
Somebody put it there? Okay, this was by design. This
was a hit. It was a setup. As much as
(04:01):
I believe the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania
was a setup and was a hit, this is the same.
And it shouldn't happen. This shouldn't happen. And I know
I'm probably repeating myself to some degree from yesterday, and
some of the points that I made tell you something.
(04:23):
The Republican Party just sucks. It really does. It just sucks.
All they did yesterday was go out there and play
spin Spin Spin, Spin, spend spend spin. No own it.
The buck stops with you. You screwed up this again. This
was my problem. Part of my problem with Trump when
(04:49):
he ran for reelection this time around is that he
didn't own up to the mistakes that he made in
his first term. Maybe a little bit maybe, and some
of the things he admitted he learned his lesson in
regards to who to hire. But you know, some of
the COVID called COVID errors, COVID debacle that he was
(05:10):
involved with. There was a play to part in that
was again moved on into the Biden administration as well.
Never never really came clean with that. But again, you've
got the Republicans right now, Okay, they will. Republicans will
go above and beyond, above and beyond when it comes
(05:35):
to going out and trying to defend incompetence, they will
go above and beyond. They want you to believe that
incompetent people are actually competent. But on the other hand,
it's the ones that are actually truly the good ones
(05:58):
that would all of a sadden. They're the ones that
they end up going after, They're the ones that they
try to sabotage. Again, I give you the modern day
Republican Party. But yeah, do I think that this was
an inside job. This was a hit. Absolutely, But again,
no excuse, no excuse for crying out loud. You got
(06:19):
to you gotta expect this. You gotta expect that these
things are going to happen. You gotta expect that there
are people there should know better. Stop making excuses again,
you could have ended the thing lickety split. We screwed up.
We're finding out who was responsible, who put this on there,
and as soon as we do, they're terminated, period. The end.
