A fiery, sarcastic breakdown of the tariff debate, calling out the contradictions in political messaging. Using humor, pop-culture nods, and a “speak to me like I’m a child or a golden retriever” refrain, this segment skewers the claim that “Americans don’t pay tariffs” by pointing out why those same tariffs are now being lifted to reduce consumer costs. With echoes of Margin Call and a dash of MAGA-floor theatrics, the rant lands as another “told you so” moment in the ongoing fight over trade, truth, and economic reality.
Episode Transcript
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):
So that the tariffs are coming off now. In the
movie Margin Call, which is one of my favorite financial
movies of all time, Jeremy Arron's playing this CEO of
this company and he's holding a kind of a meeting,
meeting of the minds, and they want to find out
what's wrong with the financial system. And he speaks to
(00:38):
the risk management expert and he says to him, so
he goes, speak to me as I am a young
child or a golden retriever. Maga, Maga, Okay, I would
like for you to speak to me. Speak to me.
All you maga's out there, and we saying, oh, Markowskio,
what you talk about all tariffs or water of tariffs?
(00:59):
Agret speak to me like I am a small child
or a golden retriever. We were all told that Americans
are not paying tariffs. No, no, no, no. Is China's
playing them, Tina saying the man, all these people taking
advantage us all over the globe. They are the ones
that are paying the tariffs. Really well, then, how come
(01:24):
could be me? Call me crazy? Why are we taking
tariffs off all of these food items from bananas to
coffee and all these things coming from South America? Oh,
we just added Switzerland to the list. Okay, lowering tariffs there?
Why why? Well, they told us they were lowering the
(01:46):
tariffs because they want to lower costs for Americans. Didn't
you say, didn't you say that Americans aren't going to
pay the tariffs? Again again? Magallow earthga woo, whoa, whoa,
whoa you guys out there. Okay, all right, I thought
(02:07):
we weren't paying them, because now Scott Bessent and all
the trade weasels within the Trump administration are telling us
they're lowering tariffs because Trump is working very, very hard
to make life more affordable for Americans. Again again, I
(02:29):
don't know. I'm a small child. I'm a golden retriever. Maga,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
