Episode Transcript

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):
India, Pakistan, and our non existent media here in this country. So,
India conducted military strikes nine separate sites in Pakistan last month.
There was a terrorist attack that took place on tourists
in Kashmir, again a story that really didn't garner much

(00:37):
attention here in the United States. And these are two
countries that have had a pretty contentious relationship. I want
to remind everybody that both Pakistan and India both have
nuclear weapons. Pakistan's spokesman said the twenty six people were killed,

(00:58):
forty six were injured. They also said that they shot
down five Indian aircraft. Again, they India is saying that
the sites that they struck were areas that were used
to stage attacks against India, and they're saying justice is served.

(01:23):
Secretary State Marco Rubio had phone calls with both Pakistan's
Prime minister and India's foreign minister trying to basically lessen
the tensions, which it's been at its highest point in
a very long period of time. President of the United

(01:44):
States said he hopes it ends quickly. This is a
very complicated issue, and quite frankly, most people in this
country really don't understand the roots the problem where it
comes from. I was most certainly taken back by it,
because again, these are both two nuclear powered countries. That's powered,

(02:11):
but armed countries, and it should basically scare the Jesus
out of everyone. So again I tried yesterday, I tried
my darness to actually get some information on TV. I'm
talking about the sad state of the news media here
in the United States. Every channel, so they around five

(02:33):
o'clock yesterday, Fox News, the five was on, five was
on talking nonsense, MSNBC, I don't know who was on,
but it was nonsense, CNN, nothing. So I go my
streaming service there, I use Hulu and I go and
I say, they got to be seeing an international here somewhere.

(02:53):
So I found it and actually they were covering the story.
I mean, it's just a sad state where we're at
as a country and as insulated as the media makes uself. Listen,
I understand, okay that you're there to sell advertisements, and
you're there to get the people going. But one would

(03:14):
think one would assume that, you know, if you are
actually you build up a reputation where you're a go
to place for news and covers things that are actually
important to the entire world that I don't know. I
think that that over time that might garner a little respect.
It's as if that the second Anchorman movie, ron Bergen

(03:36):
the Anchorman to that film, it's like it's come true,
just how far we have basically lowered the bar, how
far we've lowered the bar when it comes to news
here in this country. Two countries that don't like each
other very much, both with nuclear weapons shooting at each other,

(03:59):
and try to find a news story on it. Watchdog
