Speaker 1 (00:06):
Well, no one altered investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trader,
Chris Markowski. He's the watchdog the Wall Street. Do you
want to answer exposing the lies and myths that the
big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the government are
pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom. You can't
(00:28):
handle the true truth bringing America the truth about what
really happens in the financial world. Ladies and gentlemen, We're
not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and
economic reality. This is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh, welcome back, everybody. It is the watchdog on a
Wall Street show.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I have to I have to sound off on this
because I've gotten several emails, several emails.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm going to pick one out and read from it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's because it's just the same tone, the same tone,
and I kind of find it fascinating. I got said
the story. Fifty three percent of likely voters under forty
what socialist for president in twenty twenty eight. This is,
according to Rasmussen, forty eight percent of white voters, sixty
four percent of black voter, sixty percent of Hispanic voters,
(01:23):
fifty two percent of other minority voters under forty said
they would want a socialist candidate to win. Here's the
the email that I got this pole.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
This poll is accurate. We are in for big trouble.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The fools who want a communist government apparently are not
aware that not one government of this type has been
successful and things will not improve for them under a
socialist communist regime. But of course they have propagandazed by
the leftist educational system, believe the tripe about collectivism. If
they do take over, I would recommend spending your money
before they confiscate it with higher taxes, impossibly direct confiscation.
(02:02):
And they go on when basically worried about Montdommie, what's
gonna happen next? Here is a reality. Here's the reality
that I've been explaining for a very long time. And
again it just takes me back in time. Great radio
show host that used to be on one of the
networks that I am on U Salem. It was Michael
(02:25):
Medved retired. Michael Medved was a big big John McCain supporter,
big John McCain supporter, wanted John McCain to win. And
again I still can't figure out how I gotta go
back in time how he ended up getting that nomination
at the point in time and Michael Medved's point, and
(02:46):
I disagreed with him vehemently. John McCain is gonna get
the independent votes got to the independence, said the.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Independen's gona win. You look, you got, you got fifty
to fifteen, then you got the independence.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I'm like, no, No, the independence are not the key.
The independence are not the key. Barack Obama at the time,
what did he run on? Never remember what Barack Obama's
platform was, go back two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hopeen change. He ran on nothing. He ran on nothing again.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Hillary Clinton cleaned his clock and the debates it wasn't
even close.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
She took him apart Hope and change Change.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I wrote a column about this many many years ago,
and it was entitled that thank you for not voting,
Thank you for not voting again. It kind of ticks
me off when you go to vote and then they.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Gave you a stupid sticker, like you gotta wear a sticker.
I voted. Okay, Uh, I know that's a real, real
hard thing to do.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Real hard thing to do is to go and and
fill out some circles, okay, and then stick it into computer.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I voted, Thank you for not voting.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The column that I wrote many many moons ago is
basically telling people, please, okay, please do not go and
vote if you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Are not well informed. Man. I let's say I moved
to a new area.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I moved to a new area and they got local
elections and I don't know anything about you know, the
people that are running for these off at that point
in time, I won't vote.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I won't vote.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Why why why would my Why would I want my
dumb vote because I'm not informed on these candidates? Why
would I want my dumb vote to cancel out somebody's informed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Vote because I'm on this team, or because I'm on
that team.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Wrong, that's what That's the wrong, wrong thing to do.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm on a team now, no teams.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Do you think these politicians switch teams in a heartbeat
if they need to, if they feel they need to
Look at Charlie Christ Here in the state of Florida,
was a Republican governor, Marco Rube.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I want to run for center.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Marco Ruby beat him, then went as a independent that
he is all of a sudden became a far left Democrat.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Come on, and.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
They don't have any problem doing it, don't you straight faced?
They're politicians. They lie on both sides of their mouths
to cry. Allowed most of them, but not all. And
that's part of our problem. Okay, In essence, it's the
dumb vote. Talk about this bit with Mom Dami in
New York. You do realize people that fifty four fifty
(05:49):
four percent of the country only reads at a sixth
grade level. Fifty four percent only read at a sixth
grade level. Now interesting, sixth grade because everything I needed
(06:09):
to learn about politics I learned in the sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I kid you not.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I know. I've told this story before so longtime listeners. Yeah,
you're gonna hear it again. Sixth grade, sixth grade, Farnsworth
Middle School, upstate New York, outside all of Gilderlin, New York. Okay,
my Civics class and wasn't called the Civic Social Studies class.
(06:36):
We had class elections every quarter's part of our Civics lesson,
and we would you know, I ran for president and
I lost. Yeah, yeah, listen, Okay, sorry, I lost lost,
fair and square Okay again, nobody cheated lost fair and Square.
I lost far and square to a young lady in
(07:00):
my class that ran on her platform. Her platform was
is that we were going to go to disney World
over spring break as a class trip.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
My platform was basically.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We're going to have like a picnic and a softball
thing outside, you know all, you know, all sorts of
stuff like that. No no, no, no, no, no no no,
just since she went big to a bet a, we're
going to disney World now, mind you okay, public school,
upstate New York. No way, no how were we going
(07:36):
to disney World in Florida over spring break as a
class didn't matter, didn't matter, sounded good.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's not a much better than my was better than
my idea.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
You know, it was never going to happen, and I lost,
So I learned everything there in sixth grade. When it
comes to politics, Mandamie is promising all all of this
stuff for New York City.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Will he get some of it? Yeah? But all of it?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No way, no way, no how, it's just not going
to happen. Not gonna happen because again, you know, real simple.
You know, Jamie Diamond picks up the phone and gives
him a call and says, you.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Either cut the crap.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Or you see that you had a big new building
that we moved into there in Park Avenue.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And I'll take my company with me and I'll move
over here. Goodbye. It's just it's not gonna happen. Will
he get certain lefferences with you?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, but again, people are voting for this stuff because
he's promising it. We have a problem here, and I've
talked about this here in the country, talked about the
high cost of them, We talked about the medium price
of homes.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We talked about and all of these things.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
All of this causes a disconnect, a disconnect with people
when people feel like they cannot get ahead. If that
proverbial American dream has become unattainable, and it's a lot
of young people feel that way now they do. And
I've gone off on this. I've talked about on the podcast.
(09:23):
I talked about it on the show. How the real
estate market is manipulated and private equity and Blackstone and
how all of this stuff is done that needs to
be dealt with.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I know, I know Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Has floated something out there that they're going to have
some sort of housing plan for the fall. You know
some of the things that they're floating. It's not going
to do much quite frankly. You know, mortgage rates coming
down a little bit, it's gonna help slightly, but not
that much. You've got a situation around a property taxes
(09:57):
are very very high.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You can cut that down.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Can hammer some Blackstone and these other corporate owners by
making them pay the property taxes, making property taxes uh
uh for people, no property taxes, for people that are
owner occupied homes, free up real estate. There's a lot
of really clever things that could be done, and they're
trying that in Texas. Ronda Santus wants to also do
(10:21):
that here in the state of Florida. You got you
have to get the cost of living down. If you're not,
people are gonna look, especially people again I call it
the dumb vote, people that are not that engaged. They're
gonna look to these people who are promising themselves. What
(10:42):
do they have to lose. My situation is bad already, yeah,
but socialim.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Is bad as communism. I get that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But at this point in time, they're desperate and that's
when they go to this stuff. Okay, these are the
issues that need to be dealt with as a society
mom dommy would never be possible.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
These ridiculous ideas.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And again they've been working on cultivating the dumb vote
for a long time. I don't know if you remember
this bill. This is under Bill Clinton. I'm the Motor
Voter Law. The motor voter law where he basically said, well,
you go and you get yourself a driver's license, you
could automatically apply to get ah to get voter registration.
(11:31):
I always used to laugh at those those people sitting
outside with their voter registration drives, and I'm saying to myself,
why do you try to get people to vote? Well,
they want to get people to vote because these are
people that are easily convinced one way or another.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
They're not engaged.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
He obviously people that want to vote are obviously engaged
in the issues. Remember Rock the Vote on MTV. Puff
Daddy had his voter die out there, making it like.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh, oh jeez, you the one who doesn't matter. Just
make sure you go out and vote. Make sure you
go out of all you gotta go do that. No, no, don't, okay,
I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
If you don't have a clue, if you're not paying attention,
and you're listening to the show, so you probably are.
So again I'm preaching to the wrong choir at this
point in time.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I get that. But if you don't know, don't vote.
Watchdog on Wall Street. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com
is our site again.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Become a part of the Watchdog on Wall Street family,
our personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com,
or give us a call eight hundred four seven one
fifty nine eighty four.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You should believe in man, not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well back, everybody.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
This is a really good move by the president, something
I've been pushing for, and I hope he really follows
through with this. Unions federal unions were outraged when Trump
issued in order ending collective bargaining with several federal unions
(13:33):
that have national security missions.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Again, you got to go all the way back to FDR.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
FDR, basically with Wagner Act empowered unions. In a nineteen
thirty seven letter to the President of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, FDR supported the right of workers to
organize to ensure adequate pay, suitable working conditions, and arious
different grievances, but he believed that collective bargaining agreements were
(14:04):
incompatible with public sector workforces.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of course they're incompatible.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
For crying out loud, I mean you're bargaining with the
government for crimeal and wanting to get votes and they're
paying with money. That's not that I mean, it's insane,
it really is. Nineteen sixties Lyndon Johnson allowed public sector
union's vastly more bargaining power again to get dues and
(14:36):
the membership, but ends changed all sorts of attitudes, and
then we end up stuff stuff like the Teachers' union
in garbage that tear the country down. So very very
good move by the president. Canary in the coal mine.
There's a song by the police from way back when. Well,
(14:56):
office commercial mortgage back security delinquency rates are at the
highest level ever. Oh yeah, who told you about Oh
I told you this was coming.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They're at a higher level.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
During the financial crisis, they were below uh they're a
ten point eight percent.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now we're up at around eleven point eight percent.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
This is this is an issue, Okay, I've been telling
you about this for some time. There is a lot,
a lot of bad paper that is bouncing around all
over the place. Eventually there's going to be a reckoning.
If you think that all of a sudden, all of
(15:48):
these offices around the country are all of a sudden
going to be occupied, it's nuts.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah. Yeah, they're they're waiting.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
They're waiting for, you know, mortgage rates to come down
and maybe the to push it back and refinance for
a little bit longer. But eventually they have to be
dealt with. And a lot of this paper again stuck
in private EQUI also stuck on a lot of mid
size to smaller banks.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I don't know what the FED is looking at. Again,
the FED is in charge with managing a lot of
these banks. But we know how well they did because
we saw what Silicon Valley signature bank and was, oh yeah,
Republic in a very short period of time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Ye know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
After God, Frank, they're supposed to be managing these things, making.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sure, but they're not managing a darn thing.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Ah oracle this past week to the moon, Jeez, it
was funny. They're their numbers weren't that great. It's but
what they're saying is going to happen coming down the road,
not to mention the fact they just signed open Ai
and Oracle sent a three hundred billion dollars computing deal,
(17:02):
three hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Thou think about that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What three hundred What would three hundred billion dollars of
computing power actually be? I mean you think about it.
We walk around with a phone in our pockets. You
have access to just about everything, massive amount of computing
power in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But a thousand bucks for a.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Phone three hundred billion dollars in computing power. Yeah, maybe
that terminator thing eventually is going to come along. Ah,
here's another canary in the coal mine. Is another c
I told you so. I told you there was going
to be issues issues with lenders that cater to certain
(17:45):
communities in this country. Again, you got you want to
call them subprime. I'd actually call these super subprime. Why
they super subprime? Well, they were making car loans to illegals.
This past week, unidentified bank took control of Tri Color
(18:06):
Auto Group, which was a massive used car retailing chain. Again,
this had a lot to do with who they were
lending money to.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I again, you want to talk about subprime. You're making
loans to people.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And again the fact that it's even allowed here in
this country. The fact that you can go out and
get yourself an auto loan and not even have paperwork.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I'm dealing.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm dealing with the Italian government right now with our
investments over there, what we're doing over there, and uh yeah,
no that not happened. You gotta, I mean, you gotta
gotta do exactly what you know they say you're going
to do, and you've got to prove that you're supposed
to be here. Now again, we make our own problems
(18:58):
with this stuff. You know, you wouldn't have and I've
talked about this before. It's on the illegal immigration front.
And we wouldn't have illegal immigration into this country if
people couldn't get cars, if they couldn't get jobs, or
you weren't hand it out free stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No need for a wall, no need for nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, you come to this country, you don't have paperwork,
you can't work, you can't borrowr you're not getting any
free stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Why would you come? Why would you come? Problem solved anyway?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Anyway, you know, I gotta I gotta get into this,
and this is gonna be another.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
People listen to my podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I did a podcast this past week entitled Arena Zerutzka
The Devil Wins Again. Obviously I did it before the
Charlie Kirk incident that took place, but I really do
want to talk a about this because we have to
(20:02):
do better. We have to do better. I see things
and I don't know about you. These things really really
affect me.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They do. I get I get knocked down again.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I thank God for my faith and my church without
them again, I don't know where I would be. Out
of fact, I don't know how many could live without that,
having the type of faith, I really don't. I think
you become a bit of a sociopath. Quite frankly, you
know what, We're gonna take a break here. We're gonna
take a break here, and then we're gonna get into this.
(20:39):
It's a important story and it's a bit of a
wake up call. Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog
on Wallstreet dot com is a site again our podcast.
Sign up for the podcast right there again. We have
it on all the other platforms as well. Personal CFO program,
all sorts of great stuff. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Bringing America financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're
listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Water Back. Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
We all, well, sir, all you've seen as what transpired
on that tram in Charlotte. Young girl minding her own business,
gets on public transportation, sits down, gentlemen, choose that word loosely,
(21:51):
sits behind, watches her, stands up, stabs her to death. Horrifying,
horrifying footage. I said at the beginning of the program
we were talking about Charlie. Not only was that horrifying,
who was again to me as disturbing was the reaction
(22:19):
of everyone else on that tram. One individual actually watched it,
turned away and looked out the window. No one came
to the aid of this, this girl who was scared
out of her mind bleeding out on a tram. Not
(22:44):
one person, not one Again.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I forced myself. I forced myself.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And it's hard, Okay, it's hard to try to.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Come up with why would somebody anybody do that? I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I can excuse away the killing by saying maybe the
guy was schizophrenic or crazy, there's no excuse for it.
Rather than people sitting around and watching somebody die and
not come to their aid and have I where does
this come from? How do we get to this point
in time? You know? But he's looking for answers to
(23:34):
this and solving the problem. It's not difficult. I'm sorry,
this is not rocket science.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay. You cannot let career criminals, dangerous people free. You can't.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Here are years ago on my when I had a
daily radio program, I made the suggestion, this is before Trump.
This is back in like twenty fifteen. I suggested we
buy Greenland.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I did.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I said we buy we should turn it into a
penal colony. For crying out loud. At the time, I
was suggesting sending all the you know, sexual predators there,
got them all.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Here you go, Here you go.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
We'll give you a tenton, you know, a backpack and
a sleeping bag.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Have at it. Figured out. You can't do this. You
can't let people like this go.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The city of Charlotte was paid by a left wing
NGO Trump had. You know, I really wish Trump would
do this. I really wish he would. Basically, I don't
care Edgar Hoover, Soros and all of these organizations take
their money, shut them down.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Let the court settle it out ten years down the road.
Put a stop to all of this nonsense. Did you
did the judge let go doesn't even have a law degree.
You know, certain cities and areas they have a dei
judge program. You know, it's more difficult to get a
(25:05):
barber's license in the state of North Carolina that it
is to become a judge. If you're the right color.
You're a sick that is, how demented that is. It's
like we have like some sort of suicide pact here
in this country. It makes no sense. Want to read
(25:26):
to you something. There is some great young people out there,
not you know Charlie Kirk and everything that he did.
That are also other people are really trying hard to
change his country. And again they inspire me, they do.
And this young lady out there has got this site
I think I mentioned before. It's called the War on Beauty,
and you know she talks about art and fashion and
(25:50):
architecture and the destruction of beauty. And again it was
one of the things that the communists wanted to do
as part of the communist goals is to defile art
and make it ugly. But anyway, she wrote, she said,
from the United States to Europe. It couldn't be clear
that Western civilization, the greatest that has ever been and
ever will be, is over and again. I don't want
(26:12):
her to think this way, And many people, they reponder, said,
you can't do this, you can't give up. We live
in the ruins of a once great society, and what
we see around us now are the final twitches of
the already dead body. We don't produce, we don't create,
we don't plan, we don't dream, we don't excel, we
don't act. No, it's not true. Okay, even though I
understand her anger after watch it, I get it. I
(26:34):
understand where she's coming from. But you cannot be defeatist again.
What do we tell? What do we speak about?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Here?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Every week on the program Build, Create, Protect, and Teach,
she goes on the blood, sweat and tears. The greatest warriors, Saints, kings,
and the most brilliant intellectual minds were for what for
same day Amazon delivery to take out a loan for
a chipolte burrito sounds like me, get high and bedrot
(27:01):
watching Netflix all day to be comfortably numb Pink Floyd
while the world literally burns the barbarians are not only
within the walls, but they are in charge of our courts, schools, entertainment, politics,
and everything else. Why we distractingly feed off what's left
(27:22):
of the carcass of the West before it's totally sucked dry.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
It's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Progressivism is clearly nothing, but so is so called modern
day conservatism. The answer is not to move out of
the cities, or to never leave your house or whatever else.
Why should we hide and scatter? The onus rests completely
on you. Good for you, girl, and if we fail
to wake up and act, we will be entirely culpable for.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The greatest civilizational loss of all time.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
The only way out is a major unification around one
single force and common conviction.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
And I agree.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Jesus Christ was through him that the West was built
to such glory and achievement, and is the only through
him that we have any chance at saving it. By
the skin of our teeth, Western civilization, our symbol is
the cross period the end. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
(28:14):
Watchdog on wallstreet dot Com. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Teaking wall streets. Liars, crooks, and cheets out behind the
woodshed you're listening to the watchdog on wall streets.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Okay, Epstein, Trump and Okham's razor. You're familiar with Okham's razor.
Ockham's razor is as basically a problem solve principle, and
to make a long principle short. It suggests that the
simplest explanation is usually the best one.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Okay, it's a guideline, it's not a strict rule. Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So we got this birthday book, this birthday book that's
what thirty years old birthday book that is from the
Epstein estate.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It comes out and Trump swearing.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Up and down.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I didn't do it. I didn't put that thing in there.
There's no possible way.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And I'm saying to myself, saying to myself, come on, man,
come on, man, you mean to tell me somebody planted
somebody planted a letter from you into Epstein's birthday book
thirty years ago? What did they wanted to set you up?
They knew you were going to be president down the road?
(29:54):
Come on, Okay again, I find the whole thing quite
frankly humorous that you know, you're watching Republicans bend over backward.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Oh no, no, no, no way, that's him.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Man, Oh, we're gonna get forensics to take a look
at that signature.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Come on, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And the other one there was watching the Levitt the spokesperson,
and she was asked, you said the Epstein documents are
a hoax, So what does the theory since these documents
came from the Epstein of state, And she's saying, well,
I didn't say the documents are a hoax, saying the
narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now, that's the hoax. That's
(30:31):
what's being perpetrated. Okay, you know, enough is enough with this.
I'm going to tell you what I what I truly believe.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I don't think. I don't believe Trump messed around with
any young girls against again, he kicked Epstein out of
this club. I don't believe that. But what I do
believe is this. You want to call me a conspiracy theorists,
call me a conspiracy theorist. I think Trump's scary, Okay,
they try to kill him two times. Do I think
that both Democrats and Republicans have mucho skeletons? Okay in
(31:04):
the closet when it comes to Epstein, this is why
these documents are never going to be released. Okay, Democrats,
that could they they can say that they're voting for it. Again,
that's there because they're the party out of power and
they can vote say oh well we tried.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Uh it's it's a hoax. They're not gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, there's a lot of really evil people.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Trust me in Washington, DC a lot. And yeah, I
think Trump is good.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Watchdog on Wall Street dot com, watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're listening to the watchdog on Wall Street. This is
(32:06):
the watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
This is.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
This is completely completely unacceptable. And again, how many times
have I done this story in twenty five years? And
it doesn't get any better, doesn't get any better all
but you know, it stays the same.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It stays the same.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
As the Democrats will call for more and more money
on education, the teachers' unions will call for more and
more money for.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Education, and it just gets worse.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The latest Nation's report Card National Assessment of Educational Process
showing a third of high school seniors lack basic reading
skills basic reading skills and can't half can't do rudimentary math.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Many states already already Johnny can't read well.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
It's dumbed down the test. They've already dumbed down the
standardized test to make the schools look better and the
teachers look better and the teachers' unions look better. But
the reality check here. Twenty twenty four, forty five percent
forty five percent of twelfth graders performed below basic in
(33:25):
math thirty two percent and reading. Eighth grade science scores
thirty eight percent rated below basic, and all three exam
students scored on average lower than on the most recent
one in twenty nineteen. Reading scores were about ten points
lower than when the exam was first administered in nineteen
(33:48):
ninety two.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
How is that possible? Again? How is that possible?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
One third AI igh school seniors are prepared for college
and either reading or math. According to the National Center
for Education Statistics, colleges have to add introductory courses to
teach students what they should have learned in high school.
Then they shouldn't be going to college. I'm sorry, I
know we got it in you know, certain areas of
(34:19):
the country. They got economies that are built around college
and university. I'm sorry, wrong, Okay, this is This is
part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
This part of the.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Problem is the fact that, you know, imagine if we
actually you had to apply and get a student loan
and yet you know, well, jeez, how did you do
on your your test scores? Oh I couldn't pass rudimentary
math or rudimentary science. I think the bank would give
a loan. I mean, they shouldn't be going to school.
They're not ready for school. You're gonna have to do
(34:49):
something here, people, And I get it.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
A large part of this is, quite frankly, I don't
care if you're gonna get upset with me. Single tearro
it households, no dad at home?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
What do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You? Quote Denzel Washington, I gotta watch that movie, just
another movie with Spike Lee. Denzel Washington said, you know, no,
you know, no dad in the home, you're gonna have
you know, you know, dad's gonna be the street is
gonna be your dad.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's where we're at at this point in time.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
And then they also talk about, oh, you know, kids
are on their phones in school.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Take the damn phones away. I'm principal high school. There
is no way that you're gonna have a phone in
a classroom.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
My dad was school teacher, so far he went, I
kid you not my dad's it was science teacher. And
towards the end of his career, let's just say that
the girls started dressing a little bit more skimpy than
they should.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
And again that's the other thing too. Uniforms.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Every single public schools should have uniforms.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Keep it simple. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
A pair of khakis and a button down. Okay, that's it,
every single one of them. Anyway, Anyway, if if someone
came into his classroom dressed inappropriately, he made him put
on a lab coat, even if they weren't lab Oh man,
if he did that to mant my dad was around,
(36:30):
God bless his soul. If he was teach school that
he did that today, oh my god, be all over
social media.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
How dare you do this?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I mean, you know that's the you have to you know,
in life, Okay, you have to show up. You're gonna
wear some sort of uniform some way, shape, matter or form.
You're come in a classroom wearing half shirts and Lululemon leggings.
No bloody way. Kids can't concentrate again, I was thirteen
(36:57):
once two. But this is a disaster. We can are
America's greatest cookery entire world. Oh really, how long is
that gonna last?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
With our scores?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
This band China is kicking her ass, thinking an ass.
But let's keep doing the same thing over and over again.
Let's fight against longer school days. I don't care. Okay,
make summer school great again. Okay, we don't pass kids on.
You don't get a diploma. I mentioned here around the program.
(37:31):
You shouldn't be allowed to vote unless you can pass
a basic citizenship test.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
This is gross anyway.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Uh. Trump has announced and I'm a big fan of this.
Trump has announced a crackdown on drug ads. Uh oh oh,
I mean that's you know some of these cable shows
Anderson Cooper is gonna be hosting a podcast soon. They
get twenty five percent. Twenty five percent, I think of
cable news revenue comes from pharmaceutical ads. President Trump issued
(38:03):
a memorandum that calls on federal health agencies to require
pharmaceutical companies to disclose more side effects and their ads. Again,
I never understood this. Again, I talked about this on
a podcast past week. Got a lot of respons from
doctors out there, and they were agreeing with me. If
you can't go out and buy something by yourself, why
(38:25):
are you advertising for an on TV?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I mean it's a prescription for crying out loud. I
gotta see.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Is more dancing people on air for some diabetes drug
or whatever it may be? That makes no sense whatsoever.
No no, no, no, no, no, no no no no. Let
let the let the sec cheerleaders go from doctor to
doctor and they can, you know, pitch to whatever pharmaceutical
they have and let the doctor prescribe it. Just that simple, Okay,
(38:52):
you Why would you have to advertise drugs to people
on TV? I still can't get my arms around that anyway. Anyway,
I was hoping that we'll have a better week, better
week as a country again. Pray for this country, Pray
(39:14):
for it. We got to pull ourselves back. God bless everyone.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com,
see you next week.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
So what did you see me?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Strangely, don't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Chris Markowski is the Watchdog on Wall Street
Well, no one altered investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trader,
Chris Markowski. He's the watchdog the Wall Street. Do you
want to answer exposing the lies and myths that the
big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the government are
pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom. You can't
(00:28):
handle the true truth bringing America the truth about what
really happens in the financial world. Ladies and gentlemen, We're
not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and
economic reality. This is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh, welcome back, everybody. It is the watchdog on a
Wall Street show.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I have to I have to sound off on this
because I've gotten several emails, several emails.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm going to pick one out and read from it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's because it's just the same tone, the same tone,
and I kind of find it fascinating. I got said
the story. Fifty three percent of likely voters under forty
what socialist for president in twenty twenty eight. This is,
according to Rasmussen, forty eight percent of white voters, sixty
four percent of black voter, sixty percent of Hispanic voters,
(01:23):
fifty two percent of other minority voters under forty said
they would want a socialist candidate to win. Here's the
the email that I got this pole.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
This poll is accurate. We are in for big trouble.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The fools who want a communist government apparently are not
aware that not one government of this type has been
successful and things will not improve for them under a
socialist communist regime. But of course they have propagandazed by
the leftist educational system, believe the tripe about collectivism. If
they do take over, I would recommend spending your money
before they confiscate it with higher taxes, impossibly direct confiscation.
(02:02):
And they go on when basically worried about Montdommie, what's
gonna happen next? Here is a reality. Here's the reality
that I've been explaining for a very long time. And
again it just takes me back in time. Great radio
show host that used to be on one of the
networks that I am on U Salem. It was Michael
(02:25):
Medved retired. Michael Medved was a big big John McCain supporter,
big John McCain supporter, wanted John McCain to win. And
again I still can't figure out how I gotta go
back in time how he ended up getting that nomination
at the point in time and Michael Medved's point, and
(02:46):
I disagreed with him vehemently. John McCain is gonna get
the independent votes got to the independence, said the.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Independen's gona win. You look, you got, you got fifty
to fifteen, then you got the independence.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I'm like, no, No, the independence are not the key.
The independence are not the key. Barack Obama at the time,
what did he run on? Never remember what Barack Obama's
platform was, go back two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hopeen change. He ran on nothing. He ran on nothing again.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Hillary Clinton cleaned his clock and the debates it wasn't
even close.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
She took him apart Hope and change Change.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I wrote a column about this many many years ago,
and it was entitled that thank you for not voting,
Thank you for not voting again. It kind of ticks
me off when you go to vote and then they.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Gave you a stupid sticker, like you gotta wear a sticker.
I voted. Okay, Uh, I know that's a real, real
hard thing to do.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Real hard thing to do is to go and and
fill out some circles, okay, and then stick it into computer.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I voted, Thank you for not voting.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The column that I wrote many many moons ago is
basically telling people, please, okay, please do not go and
vote if you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Are not well informed. Man. I let's say I moved
to a new area.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I moved to a new area and they got local
elections and I don't know anything about you know, the
people that are running for these off at that point
in time, I won't vote.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I won't vote.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Why why why would my Why would I want my
dumb vote because I'm not informed on these candidates? Why
would I want my dumb vote to cancel out somebody's informed.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Vote because I'm on this team, or because I'm on
that team.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Wrong, that's what That's the wrong, wrong thing to do.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm on a team now, no teams.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Do you think these politicians switch teams in a heartbeat
if they need to, if they feel they need to
Look at Charlie Christ Here in the state of Florida,
was a Republican governor, Marco Rube.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I want to run for center.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Marco Ruby beat him, then went as a independent that
he is all of a sudden became a far left Democrat.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Come on, and.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
They don't have any problem doing it, don't you straight faced?
They're politicians. They lie on both sides of their mouths
to cry. Allowed most of them, but not all. And
that's part of our problem. Okay, In essence, it's the
dumb vote. Talk about this bit with Mom Dami in
New York. You do realize people that fifty four fifty
(05:49):
four percent of the country only reads at a sixth
grade level. Fifty four percent only read at a sixth
grade level. Now interesting, sixth grade because everything I needed
(06:09):
to learn about politics I learned in the sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I kid you not.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I know. I've told this story before so longtime listeners. Yeah,
you're gonna hear it again. Sixth grade, sixth grade, Farnsworth
Middle School, upstate New York, outside all of Gilderlin, New York. Okay,
my Civics class and wasn't called the Civic Social Studies class.
(06:36):
We had class elections every quarter's part of our Civics lesson,
and we would you know, I ran for president and
I lost. Yeah, yeah, listen, Okay, sorry, I lost lost,
fair and square Okay again, nobody cheated lost fair and Square.
I lost far and square to a young lady in
(07:00):
my class that ran on her platform. Her platform was
is that we were going to go to disney World
over spring break as a class trip.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
My platform was basically.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We're going to have like a picnic and a softball
thing outside, you know all, you know, all sorts of
stuff like that. No no, no, no, no, no no no,
just since she went big to a bet a, we're
going to disney World now, mind you okay, public school,
upstate New York. No way, no how were we going
(07:36):
to disney World in Florida over spring break as a
class didn't matter, didn't matter, sounded good.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's not a much better than my was better than
my idea.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
You know, it was never going to happen, and I lost,
So I learned everything there in sixth grade. When it
comes to politics, Mandamie is promising all all of this
stuff for New York City.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Will he get some of it? Yeah? But all of it?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No way, no way, no how, it's just not going
to happen. Not gonna happen because again, you know, real simple.
You know, Jamie Diamond picks up the phone and gives
him a call and says, you.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Either cut the crap.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Or you see that you had a big new building
that we moved into there in Park Avenue.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And I'll take my company with me and I'll move
over here. Goodbye. It's just it's not gonna happen. Will
he get certain lefferences with you?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, but again, people are voting for this stuff because
he's promising it. We have a problem here, and I've
talked about this here in the country, talked about the
high cost of them, We talked about the medium price
of homes.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We talked about and all of these things.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
All of this causes a disconnect, a disconnect with people
when people feel like they cannot get ahead. If that
proverbial American dream has become unattainable, and it's a lot
of young people feel that way now they do. And
I've gone off on this. I've talked about on the podcast.
(09:23):
I talked about it on the show. How the real
estate market is manipulated and private equity and Blackstone and
how all of this stuff is done that needs to
be dealt with.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I know, I know Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Has floated something out there that they're going to have
some sort of housing plan for the fall. You know
some of the things that they're floating. It's not going
to do much quite frankly. You know, mortgage rates coming
down a little bit, it's gonna help slightly, but not
that much. You've got a situation around a property taxes
(09:57):
are very very high.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You can cut that down.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Can hammer some Blackstone and these other corporate owners by
making them pay the property taxes, making property taxes uh
uh for people, no property taxes, for people that are
owner occupied homes, free up real estate. There's a lot
of really clever things that could be done, and they're
trying that in Texas. Ronda Santus wants to also do
(10:21):
that here in the state of Florida. You got you
have to get the cost of living down. If you're not,
people are gonna look, especially people again I call it
the dumb vote, people that are not that engaged. They're
gonna look to these people who are promising themselves. What
(10:42):
do they have to lose. My situation is bad already, yeah,
but socialim.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Is bad as communism. I get that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But at this point in time, they're desperate and that's
when they go to this stuff. Okay, these are the
issues that need to be dealt with as a society
mom dommy would never be possible.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
These ridiculous ideas.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And again they've been working on cultivating the dumb vote
for a long time. I don't know if you remember
this bill. This is under Bill Clinton. I'm the Motor
Voter Law. The motor voter law where he basically said, well,
you go and you get yourself a driver's license, you
could automatically apply to get ah to get voter registration.
(11:31):
I always used to laugh at those those people sitting
outside with their voter registration drives, and I'm saying to myself,
why do you try to get people to vote? Well,
they want to get people to vote because these are
people that are easily convinced one way or another.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
They're not engaged.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
He obviously people that want to vote are obviously engaged
in the issues. Remember Rock the Vote on MTV. Puff
Daddy had his voter die out there, making it like.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh, oh jeez, you the one who doesn't matter. Just
make sure you go out and vote. Make sure you
go out of all you gotta go do that. No, no, don't, okay,
I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
If you don't have a clue, if you're not paying attention,
and you're listening to the show, so you probably are.
So again I'm preaching to the wrong choir at this
point in time.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I get that. But if you don't know, don't vote.
Watchdog on Wall Street. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com
is our site again.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Become a part of the Watchdog on Wall Street family,
our personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com,
or give us a call eight hundred four seven one
fifty nine eighty four.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You should believe in man, not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well back, everybody.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
This is a really good move by the president, something
I've been pushing for, and I hope he really follows
through with this. Unions federal unions were outraged when Trump
issued in order ending collective bargaining with several federal unions
(13:33):
that have national security missions.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Again, you got to go all the way back to FDR.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
FDR, basically with Wagner Act empowered unions. In a nineteen
thirty seven letter to the President of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, FDR supported the right of workers to
organize to ensure adequate pay, suitable working conditions, and arious
different grievances, but he believed that collective bargaining agreements were
(14:04):
incompatible with public sector workforces.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of course they're incompatible.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
For crying out loud, I mean you're bargaining with the
government for crimeal and wanting to get votes and they're
paying with money. That's not that I mean, it's insane,
it really is. Nineteen sixties Lyndon Johnson allowed public sector
union's vastly more bargaining power again to get dues and
(14:36):
the membership, but ends changed all sorts of attitudes, and
then we end up stuff stuff like the Teachers' union
in garbage that tear the country down. So very very
good move by the president. Canary in the coal mine.
There's a song by the police from way back when. Well,
(14:56):
office commercial mortgage back security delinquency rates are at the
highest level ever. Oh yeah, who told you about Oh
I told you this was coming.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They're at a higher level.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
During the financial crisis, they were below uh they're a
ten point eight percent.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now we're up at around eleven point eight percent.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
This is this is an issue, Okay, I've been telling
you about this for some time. There is a lot,
a lot of bad paper that is bouncing around all
over the place. Eventually there's going to be a reckoning.
If you think that all of a sudden, all of
(15:48):
these offices around the country are all of a sudden
going to be occupied, it's nuts.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah. Yeah, they're they're waiting.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
They're waiting for, you know, mortgage rates to come down
and maybe the to push it back and refinance for
a little bit longer. But eventually they have to be
dealt with. And a lot of this paper again stuck
in private EQUI also stuck on a lot of mid
size to smaller banks.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I don't know what the FED is looking at. Again,
the FED is in charge with managing a lot of
these banks. But we know how well they did because
we saw what Silicon Valley signature bank and was, oh yeah,
Republic in a very short period of time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Ye know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
After God, Frank, they're supposed to be managing these things, making.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sure, but they're not managing a darn thing.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Ah oracle this past week to the moon, Jeez, it
was funny. They're their numbers weren't that great. It's but
what they're saying is going to happen coming down the road,
not to mention the fact they just signed open Ai
and Oracle sent a three hundred billion dollars computing deal,
(17:02):
three hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Thou think about that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What three hundred What would three hundred billion dollars of
computing power actually be? I mean you think about it.
We walk around with a phone in our pockets. You
have access to just about everything, massive amount of computing
power in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But a thousand bucks for a.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Phone three hundred billion dollars in computing power. Yeah, maybe
that terminator thing eventually is going to come along. Ah,
here's another canary in the coal mine. Is another c
I told you so. I told you there was going
to be issues issues with lenders that cater to certain
(17:45):
communities in this country. Again, you got you want to
call them subprime. I'd actually call these super subprime. Why
they super subprime? Well, they were making car loans to illegals.
This past week, unidentified bank took control of Tri Color
(18:06):
Auto Group, which was a massive used car retailing chain. Again,
this had a lot to do with who they were
lending money to.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I again, you want to talk about subprime. You're making
loans to people.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And again the fact that it's even allowed here in
this country. The fact that you can go out and
get yourself an auto loan and not even have paperwork.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I'm dealing.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm dealing with the Italian government right now with our
investments over there, what we're doing over there, and uh yeah,
no that not happened. You gotta, I mean, you gotta
gotta do exactly what you know they say you're going
to do, and you've got to prove that you're supposed
to be here. Now again, we make our own problems
(18:58):
with this stuff. You know, you wouldn't have and I've
talked about this before. It's on the illegal immigration front.
And we wouldn't have illegal immigration into this country if
people couldn't get cars, if they couldn't get jobs, or
you weren't hand it out free stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No need for a wall, no need for nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, you come to this country, you don't have paperwork,
you can't work, you can't borrowr you're not getting any
free stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Why would you come? Why would you come? Problem solved anyway?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Anyway, you know, I gotta I gotta get into this,
and this is gonna be another.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
People listen to my podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I did a podcast this past week entitled Arena Zerutzka
The Devil Wins Again. Obviously I did it before the
Charlie Kirk incident that took place, but I really do
want to talk a about this because we have to
(20:02):
do better. We have to do better. I see things
and I don't know about you. These things really really
affect me.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They do. I get I get knocked down again.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I thank God for my faith and my church without
them again, I don't know where I would be. Out
of fact, I don't know how many could live without that,
having the type of faith, I really don't. I think
you become a bit of a sociopath. Quite frankly, you
know what, We're gonna take a break here. We're gonna
take a break here, and then we're gonna get into this.
(20:39):
It's a important story and it's a bit of a
wake up call. Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog

Sign up for the podcast right there again. We have

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Bringing America financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're
listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Water Back. Okay, so.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
We all, well, sir, all you've seen as what transpired
on that tram in Charlotte. Young girl minding her own business,
gets on public transportation, sits down, gentlemen, choose that word loosely,
(21:51):
sits behind, watches her, stands up, stabs her to death. Horrifying,
horrifying footage. I said at the beginning of the program
we were talking about Charlie. Not only was that horrifying,
who was again to me as disturbing was the reaction
(22:19):
of everyone else on that tram. One individual actually watched it,
turned away and looked out the window. No one came
to the aid of this, this girl who was scared
out of her mind bleeding out on a tram. Not
(22:44):
one person, not one Again.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I forced myself. I forced myself.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And it's hard, Okay, it's hard to try to.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Come up with why would somebody anybody do that? I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I can excuse away the killing by saying maybe the
guy was schizophrenic or crazy, there's no excuse for it.
Rather than people sitting around and watching somebody die and
not come to their aid and have I where does
this come from? How do we get to this point
in time? You know? But he's looking for answers to
(23:34):
this and solving the problem. It's not difficult. I'm sorry,
this is not rocket science.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay. You cannot let career criminals, dangerous people free. You can't.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Here are years ago on my when I had a
daily radio program, I made the suggestion, this is before Trump.
This is back in like twenty fifteen. I suggested we
buy Greenland.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I did.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I said we buy we should turn it into a
penal colony. For crying out loud. At the time, I
was suggesting sending all the you know, sexual predators there,
got them all.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Here you go, Here you go.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
We'll give you a tenton, you know, a backpack and
a sleeping bag.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Have at it. Figured out. You can't do this. You
can't let people like this go.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The city of Charlotte was paid by a left wing
NGO Trump had. You know, I really wish Trump would
do this. I really wish he would. Basically, I don't
care Edgar Hoover, Soros and all of these organizations take
their money, shut them down.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Let the court settle it out ten years down the road.
Put a stop to all of this nonsense. Did you
did the judge let go doesn't even have a law degree.
You know, certain cities and areas they have a dei
judge program. You know, it's more difficult to get a
(25:05):
barber's license in the state of North Carolina that it
is to become a judge. If you're the right color.
You're a sick that is, how demented that is. It's
like we have like some sort of suicide pact here
in this country. It makes no sense. Want to read
(25:26):
to you something. There is some great young people out there,
not you know Charlie Kirk and everything that he did.
That are also other people are really trying hard to
change his country. And again they inspire me, they do.
And this young lady out there has got this site
I think I mentioned before. It's called the War on Beauty,
and you know she talks about art and fashion and
(25:50):
architecture and the destruction of beauty. And again it was
one of the things that the communists wanted to do
as part of the communist goals is to defile art
and make it ugly. But anyway, she wrote, she said,
from the United States to Europe. It couldn't be clear
that Western civilization, the greatest that has ever been and
ever will be, is over and again. I don't want
(26:12):
her to think this way, And many people, they reponder, said,
you can't do this, you can't give up. We live
in the ruins of a once great society, and what
we see around us now are the final twitches of
the already dead body. We don't produce, we don't create,
we don't plan, we don't dream, we don't excel, we
don't act. No, it's not true. Okay, even though I
understand her anger after watch it, I get it. I
(26:34):
understand where she's coming from. But you cannot be defeatist again.
What do we tell? What do we speak about?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Here?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Every week on the program Build, Create, Protect, and Teach,
she goes on the blood, sweat and tears. The greatest warriors, Saints, kings,
and the most brilliant intellectual minds were for what for
same day Amazon delivery to take out a loan for
a chipolte burrito sounds like me, get high and bedrot
(27:01):
watching Netflix all day to be comfortably numb Pink Floyd
while the world literally burns the barbarians are not only
within the walls, but they are in charge of our courts, schools, entertainment, politics,
and everything else. Why we distractingly feed off what's left
(27:22):
of the carcass of the West before it's totally sucked dry.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
It's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Progressivism is clearly nothing, but so is so called modern
day conservatism. The answer is not to move out of
the cities, or to never leave your house or whatever else.
Why should we hide and scatter? The onus rests completely
on you. Good for you, girl, and if we fail
to wake up and act, we will be entirely culpable for.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The greatest civilizational loss of all time.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
The only way out is a major unification around one
single force and common conviction.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
And I agree.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Jesus Christ was through him that the West was built
to such glory and achievement, and is the only through
him that we have any chance at saving it. By
the skin of our teeth, Western civilization, our symbol is
the cross period the end. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
(28:14):
Watchdog on wallstreet dot Com. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Teaking wall streets. Liars, crooks, and cheets out behind the
woodshed you're listening to the watchdog on wall streets.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Okay, Epstein, Trump and Okham's razor. You're familiar with Okham's razor.
Ockham's razor is as basically a problem solve principle, and
to make a long principle short. It suggests that the
simplest explanation is usually the best one.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Okay, it's a guideline, it's not a strict rule. Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So we got this birthday book, this birthday book that's
what thirty years old birthday book that is from the
Epstein estate.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It comes out and Trump swearing.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Up and down.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I didn't do it. I didn't put that thing in there.
There's no possible way.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And I'm saying to myself, saying to myself, come on, man,
come on, man, you mean to tell me somebody planted
somebody planted a letter from you into Epstein's birthday book
thirty years ago? What did they wanted to set you up?
They knew you were going to be president down the road?
(29:54):
Come on, Okay again, I find the whole thing quite
frankly humorous that you know, you're watching Republicans bend over backward.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Oh no, no, no, no way, that's him.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Man, Oh, we're gonna get forensics to take a look
at that signature.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Come on, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And the other one there was watching the Levitt the spokesperson,
and she was asked, you said the Epstein documents are
a hoax, So what does the theory since these documents
came from the Epstein of state, And she's saying, well,
I didn't say the documents are a hoax, saying the
narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now, that's the hoax. That's
(30:31):
what's being perpetrated. Okay, you know, enough is enough with this.
I'm going to tell you what I what I truly believe.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I don't think. I don't believe Trump messed around with
any young girls against again, he kicked Epstein out of
this club. I don't believe that. But what I do
believe is this. You want to call me a conspiracy theorists,
call me a conspiracy theorist. I think Trump's scary, Okay,
they try to kill him two times. Do I think
that both Democrats and Republicans have mucho skeletons? Okay in
(31:04):
the closet when it comes to Epstein, this is why
these documents are never going to be released. Okay, Democrats,
that could they they can say that they're voting for it. Again,
that's there because they're the party out of power and
they can vote say oh well we tried.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Uh it's it's a hoax. They're not gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, there's a lot of really evil people.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Trust me in Washington, DC a lot. And yeah, I
think Trump is good.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Watchdog on Wall Street dot com, watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're listening to the watchdog on Wall Street. This is
(32:06):
the watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
This is.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
This is completely completely unacceptable. And again, how many times
have I done this story in twenty five years? And
it doesn't get any better, doesn't get any better all
but you know, it stays the same.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It stays the same.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
As the Democrats will call for more and more money
on education, the teachers' unions will call for more and
more money for.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Education, and it just gets worse.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The latest Nation's report Card National Assessment of Educational Process
showing a third of high school seniors lack basic reading
skills basic reading skills and can't half can't do rudimentary math.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Many states already already Johnny can't read well.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
It's dumbed down the test. They've already dumbed down the
standardized test to make the schools look better and the
teachers look better and the teachers' unions look better. But
the reality check here. Twenty twenty four, forty five percent
forty five percent of twelfth graders performed below basic in
(33:25):
math thirty two percent and reading. Eighth grade science scores
thirty eight percent rated below basic, and all three exam
students scored on average lower than on the most recent
one in twenty nineteen. Reading scores were about ten points
lower than when the exam was first administered in nineteen
(33:48):
ninety two.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
How is that possible? Again? How is that possible?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
One third AI igh school seniors are prepared for college
and either reading or math. According to the National Center
for Education Statistics, colleges have to add introductory courses to
teach students what they should have learned in high school.
Then they shouldn't be going to college. I'm sorry, I
know we got it in you know, certain areas of
(34:19):
the country. They got economies that are built around college
and university. I'm sorry, wrong, Okay, this is This is
part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
This part of the.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Problem is the fact that, you know, imagine if we
actually you had to apply and get a student loan
and yet you know, well, jeez, how did you do
on your your test scores? Oh I couldn't pass rudimentary
math or rudimentary science. I think the bank would give
a loan. I mean, they shouldn't be going to school.
They're not ready for school. You're gonna have to do
(34:49):
something here, people, And I get it.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
A large part of this is, quite frankly, I don't
care if you're gonna get upset with me. Single tearro
it households, no dad at home?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
What do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You? Quote Denzel Washington, I gotta watch that movie, just
another movie with Spike Lee. Denzel Washington said, you know, no,
you know, no dad in the home, you're gonna have
you know, you know, dad's gonna be the street is
gonna be your dad.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's where we're at at this point in time.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
And then they also talk about, oh, you know, kids
are on their phones in school.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Take the damn phones away. I'm principal high school. There
is no way that you're gonna have a phone in
a classroom.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
My dad was school teacher, so far he went, I
kid you not my dad's it was science teacher. And
towards the end of his career, let's just say that
the girls started dressing a little bit more skimpy than
they should.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
And again that's the other thing too. Uniforms.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Every single public schools should have uniforms.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Keep it simple. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
A pair of khakis and a button down. Okay, that's it,
every single one of them. Anyway, Anyway, if if someone
came into his classroom dressed inappropriately, he made him put
on a lab coat, even if they weren't lab Oh man,
if he did that to mant my dad was around,
(36:30):
God bless his soul. If he was teach school that
he did that today, oh my god, be all over
social media.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
How dare you do this?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I mean, you know that's the you have to you know,
in life, Okay, you have to show up. You're gonna
wear some sort of uniform some way, shape, matter or form.
You're come in a classroom wearing half shirts and Lululemon leggings.
No bloody way. Kids can't concentrate again, I was thirteen
(36:57):
once two. But this is a disaster. We can are
America's greatest cookery entire world. Oh really, how long is
that gonna last?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
With our scores?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
This band China is kicking her ass, thinking an ass.
But let's keep doing the same thing over and over again.
Let's fight against longer school days. I don't care. Okay,
make summer school great again. Okay, we don't pass kids on.
You don't get a diploma. I mentioned here around the program.
(37:31):
You shouldn't be allowed to vote unless you can pass
a basic citizenship test.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
This is gross anyway.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Uh. Trump has announced and I'm a big fan of this.
Trump has announced a crackdown on drug ads. Uh oh oh,
I mean that's you know some of these cable shows
Anderson Cooper is gonna be hosting a podcast soon. They
get twenty five percent. Twenty five percent, I think of
cable news revenue comes from pharmaceutical ads. President Trump issued
(38:03):
a memorandum that calls on federal health agencies to require
pharmaceutical companies to disclose more side effects and their ads. Again,
I never understood this. Again, I talked about this on
a podcast past week. Got a lot of respons from
doctors out there, and they were agreeing with me. If
you can't go out and buy something by yourself, why
(38:25):
are you advertising for an on TV?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I mean it's a prescription for crying out loud. I
gotta see.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Is more dancing people on air for some diabetes drug
or whatever it may be? That makes no sense whatsoever.
No no, no, no, no, no, no no no no. Let
let the let the sec cheerleaders go from doctor to
doctor and they can, you know, pitch to whatever pharmaceutical
they have and let the doctor prescribe it. Just that simple, Okay,
(38:52):
you Why would you have to advertise drugs to people
on TV? I still can't get my arms around that anyway. Anyway,
I was hoping that we'll have a better week, better
week as a country again. Pray for this country, Pray
(39:14):
for it. We got to pull ourselves back. God bless everyone.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com,
