Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, no one altered investment banking, consumer advocate, analyst, trainer
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on the wall street.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Do you want to answer exposing the lines 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 handle the true.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
financial world.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
but in political and economic reality.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
This is the watchdog on wall streets.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
All right, welcome back, everybody. I'm gonna change gears a
little bit right now. Something I want to talk about
with everybody here on the program. I spent some time
last week talking about, you know, the state of the country.
What happened to the great Charlie Kirk. I gotta be
(01:09):
honest about. I mean, I knew Charlie Kirk was. I
listened to his stuff his show from from time to time.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Really did a deep dive into the things that he
talked about, and again, be honest, it made me really
happy because they echo same sentiments and things that we've
been talking about here on the program, except quite frankly,
you know, he's just well better at it than I
ever was and ever will be. That's how good he was.
(01:41):
That's how great he was. And college campuses and talking
to these kids, and quite frankly.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The ability to keep his cool.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
When people would say just absolutely horrible, horrible things.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He was again complete. You know, it's again talent.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You really you can't even can't describe it, irreplaceable, irreplaceable,
you know, in many respects better than Limbaugh, quite frankly.
Yet I you know, I have a pretty good ability
to retain information and recall it. His was, i mean,
just beyond outstanding, really something else, and we really lost
(02:27):
somebody that was truly great. But again, this is this
is what happens, this is what this is what we
do throughout history. And I'll get into that a little bit.
It is really easy right now for all of us
to get very very angry, very angry by the conduct
(02:52):
of our fellow citizens and the things that they're doing
throughout the country, the things that they're putting online. Because
I get angry, it's a normal human reaction. Okay, you
wouldn't be human. You wouldn't be human if you didn't
get angry what the left in this country is doing
(03:15):
right now as they're saying, oh, you guys, are you're
canceled cau you're canceling people. No, no, no, no, that's
not canceling people. What's happening is not canceling. Canceling somebody
is what you leftist did. What you leftist did that
would look up some post from somebody from fifteen years
(03:36):
ago when they were in college or twenty years ago
and then putting it out there and having them canceled,
that's canceling someone. Okay, you're getting fired. People are getting
fired from their jobs, and in my opinion, rightfully so
because you have a character issue. Do you think that
(04:00):
I'm going to have anyone at Markowski Investments working at
our company that is going to go online and openly
celebrate the assassination.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Of someone. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
No way, no, how You're gone. That's not cancel. Culture
has nothing to do with you're canceling anybody. You're firing
them with cause you obviously have a character problem at
this point in time.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Now, and this is people. I'm not sugar coating things
out there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I know a lot of people are frightened by this
conduct and the way that people are acting.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And let me tell you something, this is this is
not new.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The left has always been violent, always been violent, historically violent. Okay,
it's always been the case to me that men, especially
as far looking as.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
There've always been frightening. They really have.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I'm seeing also having some video sent from people that
after they've been fired, and the angst and the crying
and all of this stuff and freaking out over it.
This is what I'm I'm hoping for.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
This is what I'm hoping for. This is what I'm
praying for.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
For all of you people out there that have very
very dark hearts, very very dark hearts, there's something wrong
with you at this point in time. I want to
let you know you've been fired because you did something horrible.
I'm probably not listening to this program. I'm just saying
(05:47):
said something horrible, cheering on the death, the assassination of
a young father husband.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I think this could be the best thing that ever
happened to you. You can make it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You can make it the best thing that ever happened
to you.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You can turn your life around. You can.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You can turn your life around. You can go down
go down to your local parish. You go to Mass
this Sunday. Probably haven't been there and ever now for
a long time, if ever at all. Okay, sit quietly,
watch in the back the end of the mass, Go
introduce yourself to the priest and change your life. You
(06:42):
are on the wrong path. You're on a dangerous path.
You're on a death spiral path, an eternity death spiral path.
And quite frankly, as much as this might anger all
of us, okay, the conduct, what is our job?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
What? What is our job?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Our job is to point these people, as difficult as
it may be, as as much as they make us angry,
in the right direction, to save their souls. I want
to tell a little story. Did a podcast on this
this past week. My my eldest son. His name is Stephen,
(07:31):
greek At Stephanos and Saint Stephen. Saint Stephen was one
of the first ordained deacons of the church. He also
happened to be Saint Stephen happened to be the very
first Christian martyr. Again, it's not not not everyone is
(07:55):
called to shed blood for their faith.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Charlie Kirk was.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He was called to share, but he thought he shed
blood for his faith in his belief system, and those
that have done that have been especially honored since the
very beginning of Christianity. Again the sixth chapter, okay, I
went to fall a long here. The actually the Apostle
(08:21):
contains an account of the choice of the first seven
deacons of the church.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
One of the things that that they.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Did is back at that point in time, there wasn't
a lot of government assistance for widows. The church would
come and they would help out widows and people that
were being neglected in their practical needs. And Stephen one
of the deacons that was in it. Stephen was the
oldest and he was given the title of archdeacon. Okay again,
(08:51):
he was. He was a He was a big speaker too.
He had a lot of great preaching that he did,
and miracles were attributed to him. The Bible records its Stephen,
full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs
among the people. Okay again that ticked off the powers
that be, kind of like somebody we know. Stephen's popularity
(09:15):
created enemies among the Jews, members of the Synagogue of
the Roman Freedman. They debated with him to generate evidence
against him. In the furtherance of their persecution of the
early Church. They accused Stephen of blasphemy, were speaking against
God and Moses. Now the charges inflamed the local populace,
(09:40):
which demanded to try him and punish him.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
When Stephen was.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Put on trial, several false witnesses were brought forward to
this Handhedron to testify that he was guilty of blasphemy.
He was charged that with predicting that Jesus would destroy
the temple and for preaching against Hoaic law. Again, he
responded to these charges by detailing the history of Israel
(10:08):
and outlining the blessings God had bestowed upon his chosen people.
He also explained how disobedient Israel had become despite the
goodness and mercy of the Lord. Stephen explained that Jesus
had come to fulfill the law of Moses, not destroy it.
He quoted extensively from the Hebrew scriptures to prove his case. Finally,
(10:29):
he admonished uh Oh, the powers that be the Sanhedrin, saying,
you stubborn people with uncircumcised hearts and ears, you are
always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used
to do. Can you name a single prophet. Your ancestors
never persecuted. They killed those who foretold the coming of
(10:51):
the upright One, and now they have become his betrayers,
his murderers. In spite of been given the law through angels,
you have not kept it. And as he concluded his defense,
he looked up and he saw a vision of Jesus
standing at the right hand of God.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Said, look, I can see.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Heaven thrown open, and the Son of Man standing at
the right hand of God.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Now that saying.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That final proof of his blasphemy, final proof. Jews do
not believe Jesus has the Messiah, son of God. For them,
Jesus could not possibly but besides the Father in heaven.
The crowd rushed upon Stephen and carried him outside the
city to stone him to death. As he was being
(11:36):
brutally stoned to death, he spoke his last words, Lord,
Jesus received my spirit, Lord, do not hold this sin
against them, words which echoed the very words of Jesus
on the cross. Following those words, Stephen died in the Lord.
Now someone was watching, someone was overseeing this trial and execution.
(12:02):
A rabbi, a rabbi named Saul of Toss. He was
a virulent persecutor of the early Church.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Who did Saul become Saul? Became Paul, Saint Paul. He
changed his ways, he.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Changed his ways, a virulent persecutor of Christians, killed Christians
there at the execution of Saint Stephen, ended up becoming
Saint Paul. Why why do I why do you think
I'm telling this story today? As angered as we are,
(13:00):
are as horrified as we are by the conduct of
these people and the things that they're doing online and
destroying memorials and all all.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
As hard as it is, as hard as it is,
I pray for them.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I pray for them.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I pray for their souls, that they turn away from
the darkness, they turn away from the darkness and they
get on the right path.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And you know, it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They're gonna it's gonna hurt when they do, God willing,
They're gonna wake up what they're gonna realize how awful
they've been and what they've done. And it's gonna hurt,
and it's gonna hurt, but they need to do it.
And yeah, like I said, it's it's right. It's not
wrong for any of us to be angry by any
(13:58):
of this. It's righteous to do so. Again, that's what
makes our faith so difficult, because now we have to
turn around, have to Okay, we're called upon to pray
for these people and hope that they will go in
the right direction. Gotta take a break. Watchdog on Wallstreet
(14:22):
dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com is our site again.
Become a part of our family at the Watchdog on
Wall Street Show, our personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all
sorts of great stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Taking Wall Streets, liars, crooks, and sheets out behind the woodshed.
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street group and
a small.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
So A lot of people are also on the right,
and Ken I laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
People got angry watching that report by ABC News reporter
Matt Gutman talking about the texts, the text between Tyler
Robinson and his whatever why I don't lover, I don't
know the whole I don't even like delving into it.
How touching, how touching that discourse was between the two
(15:37):
of them. I laugh at it. Okays, no point, there's
no point in getting angry at the media.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Quick.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Frankly, there's no point in even watching it. Okay, there's
no point in even watching it. Journalism has been dead
for a long long time. Again, it was almost ten
years ago. Ten years ago, I sus was on John
Oliver's program, and he's a lefty Okay. He did this
(16:13):
takeoff on the media where he was. They were kind
of using that movie Spotlight. They called it Stoplight. They
did this great comedy bit, had all these great actors.
Bobby Carnivale was in it. There was a whole bunch
of basically making fun. This is ten years ago. What
happened with the media, What happened with journalism. There's no
(16:34):
such thing as journalists anymore. They're influencers. You haven't figured
that out yet. They advance not based upon the actual
work that they do. It's based upon the amount of
followers they get.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
That's the world.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We live in.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You got David Weird air ABC News putting clothes pins
behind his shirt so he can make himself look more
jacked in a T shirt.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Whossy. This is who they are. This is what it's become.
That Matt Guttman, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Got a you know, but she's an opportunity for me
to give it really kind of an off the beat
take growl out of attention, I can get more followers
and again, then eventually I can make more money. They're
not journalists, they're not smart. Okay, they read off teleprompters.
They're told to put out X amount of tweets a
(17:37):
day to get them.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Even if I owned a newsroom, a legitimate newsroom, I.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Wouldn't allow any any of my.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Staff journalists out there to tweet anything out for crying
out loud. The sign of a good journalist. The true
sign is you don't know what side they're on. You
don't know what their opinion is. You're not supposed to
have an opinion. You're not supposed to change the world.
You're supposed to report on what happened, not to give
your take. We don't want your take. We're not supposed
(18:13):
to get your take. There's a part of the newspaper
for that. It's called the opinion page. Again, this drives
me out. I learned this. I learned this in eleventh
grade English class high school, mister Smith. And again he
reamed me in it was a half year class. Yeah,
(18:35):
I had strong opinions back when I was in high
school too.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
But he explained, he said, Chris, this is not.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
What you're writing an article as a journalist. Dude, reader
should know what your opinion is. I go off on
it all the time. And how stories are actually even
written at it's great publications like the Wall Street Journal
where they find random anecdotes here and there to try
(19:07):
to prove their case. Random anecdote, what are you talking about?
The Wall Street Journal for crying out loud and they're dying,
they're they're on their way out. They get a fraction,
a fraction of the viewers, and you know people have
(19:31):
follow then that the then podcasts actually you're getting right now,
that's that's just the reality. And again I've I've for
the life of me, I don't know why. I don't get it.
I don't get I don't want I don't can't understand
why somebody just said and said, you know what, We're
gonna actually go back to the way things used to be.
(19:53):
And again, it was never perfect. There's never a perfect situation. Okay,
but again again I grew up watching Walter Cronkite for
crying out Loud. It was sorry compare that to today
that was far superior. I mean Tim Russer Meet the Press.
(20:15):
I haven't watched Meet the Press since Tim Russert left.
Why well, look who's hosting the program anyway?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Kind to go off on the meeting Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com again become a part of
our family personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all sorts of
great stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Don't go anywhere, We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street? Is the
(21:00):
Watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I was very disappointed this past week.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So I I get up and I, you know, get
various different searches and algrin that bring me various different
information that helped me prepare for obviously this show podcasts
all the appearances I make and what I do for
a living. And I get hit with all of this
stuff from Pam Bondy and I was. I got up
(21:42):
from my desk and I had, you know, I went
for a walkout.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So I'm like, Pam, what are you doing? What are
you doing again?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I I like her, met her before, very warm, friendly individual,
she not didn't live far from me.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I'm like, what are you doing? Pam? This is some
of the things that she said.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We will absolutely target you, go after you if you
are targeting anyone with hate speech. There's no such thing
as hate speech. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist, Pam.
(22:28):
You're gonna target people for hate speech. You are gonna
lose nine nothing at the Supreme Court nine nothing I
and many other conservatives, because again it's one of the
things that the left uses.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Not hate beats. You need to be canceled hate beats.
What she goes on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
There's free speech and there's hate speech, and there's no play,
especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie. No, no, no,
she goes on Sean Hannity's program, and employers, you have
(23:16):
to have an obligation to get rid of people. You
need to look at people who are saying horrible things
and they shouldn't be working with you. Businesses cannot discriminate.
If you want to go in and print posters with
Charlie's pictures on them for a vigil, you have to
let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.
No you can't, Pam, you can't. Employers should fire people
(23:46):
like that, and they are firing people like that. But
they don't have a legal obligation to do so. Office
Depot fired those fools that wouldn't pray that up, not
because you were gonna do anything about it, because they're
a business and they're smart and they knew what their
(24:07):
employees did was wrong. Again, I am in the free
speech business.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I'm in the free speech business. My free speech was
taken away from me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I was deep platformed during COVID fort speaking COVID Truths,
great Barrington decoration, myriad of things that we were pointing
out here on the program. Yeah I don't want that, okay, Pam,
I don't know. Again, people on the right there saying, yeah,
(24:50):
that's a great idea. Are you out of your mind?
Do you understand how great this is? All these people
coming out in outing themselves. I have said this for
decades here on the program. The greatest thing about free
speech is you get to know who the fools are.
(25:10):
You get to figure out who the idiots are. Why
would you want to shut them up? They're outing themselves
in front of the entire world to see, and you're
going to prosecute that. Conservatives, okay, have fought for decades decades.
(25:37):
You talk about the right to refuse service to anyone.
Now Pam wants to roll that back. Okay, Everything that
is happening right now is not being handled by the government.
It's being handled through free speech and free markets. Okay,
(26:00):
what Pam Bondy needs to do?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And what Trump should I have any problem with this?
He should have done this in his first term. And again,
I played Escape from New York I at that time,
took the entire family was down in Florida, and I'm
watching I'm watching these cities being destroyed, Portland, Detroit, DC,
(26:25):
all this Black Lives Matter bull excrement that was going on,
anti FA. They should have gone after them. They should
have gone after them. Then you should have gone after
all of these Soros funding networks, for all of the
crap that they've been doing a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Go after that crap.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I have no problem with that at all, because we
know that they're they're basically breaking things down, destroying stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You an interesting jee.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
We had not a single Gucci store has been not
a single Walmart has been knocked over. There's been no riots,
no nothing, nothing but prayer vigils.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Oh, there's not a difference between the two.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Where do you think all these riots, all this stuff
comes from it comes from those sorrows and left wing
and anti fi networks. Not to mention I fact you
talk a look at all up the theft that's been
involved with those things that we've reported on here on
the program. Pam for crying out loud. Don't deal with speech.
You deal with the bad guys. That's your job.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Gotta take a break.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com, watch Dog on Wallstreet
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Sorry I got fired up about that. Okay again, you.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Know I'm in the free speech business for now, for now,
and until they.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Take that away, don't go anywhere. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The only man who is taking on the Wall Street establishment.
You're listening to the Watchdog and Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Anyway, there's only twenty four hours in a day, and
I do have to allocate myself. I get five and
a half six hours sleep every single night.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
So again I'm limited.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm limited in my ability to find every single garbage
investment in garbage company out there. Listen again, I know
I don't own them, but this one, this one I
saw again. It just well, they declared Chapter seven bankruptcy
(28:51):
Try Color Holdings file for bankruptcy in Texas. Liquidating Operations
got my attention. I said, bankers, what is this thing?
What is this Try Color Holding?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
So I took a look.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It was was a subprime auto lender, subprime auto lender,
and I'm sweetly lend to I take a look. They
lend to people without papers. Yeah, yeah, okay, they lent
to illegal immigrants. Now again, I didn't said, there's only
(29:33):
so many hours in a day. Wasn't aware of this.
I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe that. I looked at
their their bonds. Okay, their bonds, tricolors bonds. Their paper
was triple A rated in July. It's bloody September, triple
(29:56):
A rated in July. Again, this is this is the
problem that we have with Wall Street and the ratings agencies.
SNP and Moodies have always been a joke. They were
a joke during the financial crisis. Michael Lewis ripped into
(30:18):
him in The Big Short and in the movie as well.
They get paid for ratings. Now again, it doesn't take
doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that a company,
that business that that lends money for cars to illegals.
With Donald Trump in the White House shutting down the
(30:40):
border and making illegals leave, you might think that that
company might have some credit issues. The business model might
have some problems moving forward.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. Aicp
in Moodies. No, it's triple A rated again. Yeah, song
by public enemy. Can't trust it.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
You can't trust them, can't trust the rating agencies. You
can't trust the analysts at the big firm.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, It's just this is we We do it all internally, folks,
We do it all internally.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I mean, how how how shall I put it?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'll do Andy DeFraine from Shortshank, How a poose?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Can you be?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com? Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Street. You should
(32:01):
believe in math, not magic. You're listening to the Watchdog
on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Welcome back one of the things again.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I knew a lot of Charlie's positions on many different topics.
I was thrilled to see that we saw completely eye
to eye on where we're at as a nation, as
far as the economy is concerned and what it's like
for younger people. Again, you gotta call Charlie Kirk communist
(32:39):
the socialists. I get that sometimes when I'm the biggest
capitalist going, you know, basically telling you that we've got
some issues right now and we need to deal with
these issues and we have to deal with them. Another
one as well, as it came to foreign policy, in
his opinion of the War on terror, and same thing
(33:03):
that I've been saying for years war and terror has
been we lost, and we lost bigly. Even though we
you know, we continue to lose. I mean, we keep
telling ourselves we're racking up wins. Yet are you kidding me?
I Actually I mentioned Talib earlier on the program. He
(33:25):
had a quote that I wanted to share with you.
He said, it's not what you do directly to your
enemy that harms him, but his subsequent reactions. If your
enemy is narcissistic, he will obsess and keep harming himself
for years.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
And again that's what we've done. That's what we've done.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
We continue to harm ourselves for years with countless deaths.
And I know we talked about this a little bit
last week because September eleventh. But you know, money that
is spent and you know, again the overall direction of
the country. And I'm glad to see that he had
a similar philosophy as I did when it comes to that.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
A lot of moving to.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Grooving right now, when it comes to Anthony Fauci and
COVID and you're watching many of these exchanges that are
taking place again, they go viral, they're up on X
You're watching various different members of Congress wag their fingers
at others and create little videos from themselves.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Where do we go with any of these things? You
do you understand? You know? Se SPAN.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Se SPAN used to be a like a show that
nerds like myself would watch. Dorks like myself would watch.
We'd go and we watched, you know, things that were
going on in Congress and again they were just put
a the this way hell of a lot more civil,
hell of a lot more civil than and today now
(35:01):
we get shows money is made off this. You can
you guys can understand how how this stuff works. You
got members of Congress that are they're basically influencers, is
what they are. They're influencers. They make money off this stuff.
(35:21):
The more outrageous, the more attention you're gonna get. I
mentioned mentioned that Spike Lee movie that came out Denzel
Washington Highest to Lowest, and that was one of the
underlying themes there. And you know how again it was
actually a real shout out to black culture here in
(35:42):
this country and that the great singers of the past.
And again I'm constantly doing that with my kids as well,
sending them you know this is true black you know,
the the old motowns. I mean, just a wonderful, wonderful
music that it was made. And today and how it's
not about that. It's about attention, drawing attention to one self,
(36:05):
whether it's you know, righteously earned or anything like that.
And this is where we're at today. But anyway, more
smoking guns coming to Fauci and Ran Paul is just
trying his darness to make him to be held accountable.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Do I think it's gonna happen? NoHo?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Who has ever really held accountable? Is there ever people
at the top? I mean even think of that. You know,
they going after Trump and some of the people that
they got Roger Stone, Steve Bannon.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Throughout history.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I mean, we can go back to the financial crisis
go either before it probably before, but we'll go back
to the dot com collapse and all the fake analyst
reports that were put out and everything that was going on,
the big firms that were doing You know that one
person was prosecuted with all of that fraud that took place.
It was a back office, a back office order taker
(37:04):
from Bank of America by the name of Ted Steifel.
I kid you not look it up because he listened.
He didn't know any better. He listened to the hedge
fund that called him up and allowed him to purchase
mutual funds after the market closed, before they repriced him.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
He was the only one.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
All of the scams, everything that took place, nothing.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You think Fauci's gonna get in trouble now, this is
just just for TV folks. And you know what, They're
gonna keep producing this television show as long as you watch.
It's getting great ratings, gets great ratings on X. Yeah,
let's watch X y Z. Congressman throw a hissy fit.
(37:52):
Let's let's watch this one. You know, try to play
gotcha with with somebody.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
It's it's for what what what is the endgame here?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
What are you trying to get at the endgame is
this attention to get more followers, to get more people
to watch them on X. They're no different, no different
than in my opinion, because they annoy the hell out
of me. The annoying people at the gym that set
up tripods and film their workouts just as annoying, or
(38:24):
or the influencers that go into restaurants and record their
entire visit for their page, equally annoying. But that's what
they've become. And it's it's it's too bad. It really
is a boy. Anyway, quickly on this story before we
gotta go. And this is kind of a life hack thing.
I saw this two and five young adults are taking
(38:48):
on debt for social image to impress peers.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
People don't do that. Kids.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Come on, man, you know again, I saw this. I
gotta get I gotta get to work on my life.
I pack page there on our site. We're gonna do
that A S A P. Anyway, everyone, have a have
a blessed week, God bless you all. Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com again is our site.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Get there, become a part of our family. Watchdog on
Wallstreet dot Com. We'll see it
Speaker 1 (39:19):
You're listening to the watchdog on Wall Street.
Well, no one altered investment banking, consumer advocate, analyst, trainer
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on the wall street.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Do you want to answer exposing the lines 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 handle the true.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
financial world.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
but in political and economic reality.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
This is the watchdog on wall streets.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
All right, welcome back, everybody. I'm gonna change gears a
little bit right now. Something I want to talk about
with everybody here on the program. I spent some time
last week talking about, you know, the state of the country.
What happened to the great Charlie Kirk. I gotta be
(01:09):
honest about. I mean, I knew Charlie Kirk was. I
listened to his stuff his show from from time to time.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Really did a deep dive into the things that he
talked about, and again, be honest, it made me really
happy because they echo same sentiments and things that we've
been talking about here on the program, except quite frankly,
you know, he's just well better at it than I
ever was and ever will be. That's how good he was.
(01:41):
That's how great he was. And college campuses and talking
to these kids, and quite frankly.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The ability to keep his cool.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
When people would say just absolutely horrible, horrible things.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He was again complete. You know, it's again talent.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You really you can't even can't describe it, irreplaceable, irreplaceable,
you know, in many respects better than Limbaugh, quite frankly.
Yet I you know, I have a pretty good ability
to retain information and recall it. His was, i mean,
just beyond outstanding, really something else, and we really lost
(02:27):
somebody that was truly great. But again, this is this
is what happens, this is what this is what we
do throughout history. And I'll get into that a little bit.
It is really easy right now for all of us
to get very very angry, very angry by the conduct
(02:52):
of our fellow citizens and the things that they're doing
throughout the country, the things that they're putting online. Because
I get angry, it's a normal human reaction. Okay, you
wouldn't be human. You wouldn't be human if you didn't
get angry what the left in this country is doing
(03:15):
right now as they're saying, oh, you guys, are you're
canceled cau you're canceling people. No, no, no, no, that's
not canceling people. What's happening is not canceling. Canceling somebody
is what you leftist did. What you leftist did that
would look up some post from somebody from fifteen years
(03:36):
ago when they were in college or twenty years ago
and then putting it out there and having them canceled,
that's canceling someone. Okay, you're getting fired. People are getting
fired from their jobs, and in my opinion, rightfully so
because you have a character issue. Do you think that
(04:00):
I'm going to have anyone at Markowski Investments working at
our company that is going to go online and openly
celebrate the assassination.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Of someone. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
No way, no, how You're gone. That's not cancel. Culture
has nothing to do with you're canceling anybody. You're firing
them with cause you obviously have a character problem at
this point in time.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Now, and this is people. I'm not sugar coating things
out there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I know a lot of people are frightened by this
conduct and the way that people are acting.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And let me tell you something, this is this is
not new.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The left has always been violent, always been violent, historically violent. Okay,
it's always been the case to me that men, especially
as far looking as.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
There've always been frightening. They really have.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I'm seeing also having some video sent from people that
after they've been fired, and the angst and the crying
and all of this stuff and freaking out over it.
This is what I'm I'm hoping for.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
This is what I'm hoping for. This is what I'm
praying for.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
For all of you people out there that have very
very dark hearts, very very dark hearts, there's something wrong
with you at this point in time. I want to
let you know you've been fired because you did something horrible.
I'm probably not listening to this program. I'm just saying
(05:47):
said something horrible, cheering on the death, the assassination of
a young father husband.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I think this could be the best thing that ever
happened to you. You can make it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You can make it the best thing that ever happened
to you.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You can turn your life around. You can.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You can turn your life around. You can go down
go down to your local parish. You go to Mass
this Sunday. Probably haven't been there and ever now for
a long time, if ever at all. Okay, sit quietly,
watch in the back the end of the mass, Go
introduce yourself to the priest and change your life. You
(06:42):
are on the wrong path. You're on a dangerous path.
You're on a death spiral path, an eternity death spiral path.
And quite frankly, as much as this might anger all
of us, okay, the conduct, what is our job?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
What? What is our job?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Our job is to point these people, as difficult as
it may be, as as much as they make us angry,
in the right direction, to save their souls. I want
to tell a little story. Did a podcast on this
this past week. My my eldest son. His name is Stephen,
(07:31):
greek At Stephanos and Saint Stephen. Saint Stephen was one
of the first ordained deacons of the church. He also
happened to be Saint Stephen happened to be the very
first Christian martyr. Again, it's not not not everyone is
(07:55):
called to shed blood for their faith.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Charlie Kirk was.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He was called to share, but he thought he shed
blood for his faith in his belief system, and those
that have done that have been especially honored since the
very beginning of Christianity. Again the sixth chapter, okay, I
went to fall a long here. The actually the Apostle
(08:21):
contains an account of the choice of the first seven
deacons of the church.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
One of the things that that they.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Did is back at that point in time, there wasn't
a lot of government assistance for widows. The church would
come and they would help out widows and people that
were being neglected in their practical needs. And Stephen one
of the deacons that was in it. Stephen was the
oldest and he was given the title of archdeacon. Okay again,
(08:51):
he was. He was a He was a big speaker too.
He had a lot of great preaching that he did,
and miracles were attributed to him. The Bible records its Stephen,
full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs
among the people. Okay again that ticked off the powers
that be, kind of like somebody we know. Stephen's popularity
(09:15):
created enemies among the Jews, members of the Synagogue of
the Roman Freedman. They debated with him to generate evidence
against him. In the furtherance of their persecution of the
early Church. They accused Stephen of blasphemy, were speaking against
God and Moses. Now the charges inflamed the local populace,
(09:40):
which demanded to try him and punish him.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
When Stephen was.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Put on trial, several false witnesses were brought forward to
this Handhedron to testify that he was guilty of blasphemy.
He was charged that with predicting that Jesus would destroy
the temple and for preaching against Hoaic law. Again, he
responded to these charges by detailing the history of Israel
(10:08):
and outlining the blessings God had bestowed upon his chosen people.
He also explained how disobedient Israel had become despite the
goodness and mercy of the Lord. Stephen explained that Jesus
had come to fulfill the law of Moses, not destroy it.
He quoted extensively from the Hebrew scriptures to prove his case. Finally,
(10:29):
he admonished uh Oh, the powers that be the Sanhedrin, saying,
you stubborn people with uncircumcised hearts and ears, you are
always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used
to do. Can you name a single prophet. Your ancestors
never persecuted. They killed those who foretold the coming of
(10:51):
the upright One, and now they have become his betrayers,
his murderers. In spite of been given the law through angels,
you have not kept it. And as he concluded his defense,
he looked up and he saw a vision of Jesus
standing at the right hand of God.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Said, look, I can see.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Heaven thrown open, and the Son of Man standing at
the right hand of God.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Now that saying.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That final proof of his blasphemy, final proof. Jews do
not believe Jesus has the Messiah, son of God. For them,
Jesus could not possibly but besides the Father in heaven.
The crowd rushed upon Stephen and carried him outside the
city to stone him to death. As he was being
(11:36):
brutally stoned to death, he spoke his last words, Lord,
Jesus received my spirit, Lord, do not hold this sin
against them, words which echoed the very words of Jesus
on the cross. Following those words, Stephen died in the Lord.
Now someone was watching, someone was overseeing this trial and execution.
(12:02):
A rabbi, a rabbi named Saul of Toss. He was
a virulent persecutor of the early Church.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Who did Saul become Saul? Became Paul, Saint Paul. He
changed his ways, he.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Changed his ways, a virulent persecutor of Christians, killed Christians
there at the execution of Saint Stephen, ended up becoming
Saint Paul. Why why do I why do you think
I'm telling this story today? As angered as we are,
(13:00):
are as horrified as we are by the conduct of
these people and the things that they're doing online and
destroying memorials and all all.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
As hard as it is, as hard as it is,
I pray for them.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I pray for them.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I pray for their souls, that they turn away from
the darkness, they turn away from the darkness and they
get on the right path.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And you know, it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They're gonna it's gonna hurt when they do, God willing,
They're gonna wake up what they're gonna realize how awful
they've been and what they've done. And it's gonna hurt,
and it's gonna hurt, but they need to do it.
And yeah, like I said, it's it's right. It's not
wrong for any of us to be angry by any
(13:58):
of this. It's righteous to do so. Again, that's what
makes our faith so difficult, because now we have to
turn around, have to Okay, we're called upon to pray
for these people and hope that they will go in
the right direction. Gotta take a break. Watchdog on Wallstreet
(14:22):
dot com. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com is our site again.
Become a part of our family at the Watchdog on
Wall Street Show, our personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all
sorts of great stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Taking Wall Streets, liars, crooks, and sheets out behind the woodshed.
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street group and
a small.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
So A lot of people are also on the right,
and Ken I laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
People got angry watching that report by ABC News reporter
Matt Gutman talking about the texts, the text between Tyler
Robinson and his whatever why I don't lover, I don't
know the whole I don't even like delving into it.
How touching, how touching that discourse was between the two
(15:37):
of them. I laugh at it. Okays, no point, there's
no point in getting angry at the media.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Quick.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Frankly, there's no point in even watching it. Okay, there's
no point in even watching it. Journalism has been dead
for a long long time. Again, it was almost ten
years ago. Ten years ago, I sus was on John
Oliver's program, and he's a lefty Okay. He did this
(16:13):
takeoff on the media where he was. They were kind
of using that movie Spotlight. They called it Stoplight. They
did this great comedy bit, had all these great actors.
Bobby Carnivale was in it. There was a whole bunch
of basically making fun. This is ten years ago. What
happened with the media, What happened with journalism. There's no
(16:34):
such thing as journalists anymore. They're influencers. You haven't figured
that out yet. They advance not based upon the actual
work that they do. It's based upon the amount of
followers they get.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
That's the world.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We live in.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You got David Weird air ABC News putting clothes pins
behind his shirt so he can make himself look more
jacked in a T shirt.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Whossy. This is who they are. This is what it's become.
That Matt Guttman, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Got a you know, but she's an opportunity for me
to give it really kind of an off the beat
take growl out of attention, I can get more followers
and again, then eventually I can make more money. They're
not journalists, they're not smart. Okay, they read off teleprompters.
They're told to put out X amount of tweets a
(17:37):
day to get them.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Even if I owned a newsroom, a legitimate newsroom, I.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Wouldn't allow any any of my.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Staff journalists out there to tweet anything out for crying
out loud. The sign of a good journalist. The true
sign is you don't know what side they're on. You
don't know what their opinion is. You're not supposed to
have an opinion. You're not supposed to change the world.
You're supposed to report on what happened, not to give
your take. We don't want your take. We're not supposed
(18:13):
to get your take. There's a part of the newspaper
for that. It's called the opinion page. Again, this drives
me out. I learned this. I learned this in eleventh
grade English class high school, mister Smith. And again he
reamed me in it was a half year class. Yeah,
(18:35):
I had strong opinions back when I was in high
school too.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
But he explained, he said, Chris, this is not.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
What you're writing an article as a journalist. Dude, reader
should know what your opinion is. I go off on
it all the time. And how stories are actually even
written at it's great publications like the Wall Street Journal
where they find random anecdotes here and there to try
(19:07):
to prove their case. Random anecdote, what are you talking about?
The Wall Street Journal for crying out loud and they're dying,
they're they're on their way out. They get a fraction,
a fraction of the viewers, and you know people have
(19:31):
follow then that the then podcasts actually you're getting right now,
that's that's just the reality. And again I've I've for
the life of me, I don't know why. I don't get it.
I don't get I don't want I don't can't understand
why somebody just said and said, you know what, We're
gonna actually go back to the way things used to be.
(19:53):
And again, it was never perfect. There's never a perfect situation. Okay,
but again again I grew up watching Walter Cronkite for
crying out Loud. It was sorry compare that to today
that was far superior. I mean Tim Russer Meet the Press.
(20:15):
I haven't watched Meet the Press since Tim Russert left.
Why well, look who's hosting the program anyway?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Kind to go off on the meeting Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com again become a part of
our family personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all sorts of
great stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Don't go anywhere, We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street? Is the
(21:00):
Watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I was very disappointed this past week.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So I I get up and I, you know, get
various different searches and algrin that bring me various different
information that helped me prepare for obviously this show podcasts
all the appearances I make and what I do for
a living. And I get hit with all of this
stuff from Pam Bondy and I was. I got up
(21:42):
from my desk and I had, you know, I went
for a walkout.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So I'm like, Pam, what are you doing? What are
you doing again?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I I like her, met her before, very warm, friendly individual,
she not didn't live far from me.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I'm like, what are you doing? Pam? This is some
of the things that she said.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We will absolutely target you, go after you if you
are targeting anyone with hate speech. There's no such thing
as hate speech. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist, Pam.
(22:28):
You're gonna target people for hate speech. You are gonna
lose nine nothing at the Supreme Court nine nothing I
and many other conservatives, because again it's one of the
things that the left uses.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Not hate beats. You need to be canceled hate beats.
What she goes on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
There's free speech and there's hate speech, and there's no play,
especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie. No, no, no,
she goes on Sean Hannity's program, and employers, you have
(23:16):
to have an obligation to get rid of people. You
need to look at people who are saying horrible things
and they shouldn't be working with you. Businesses cannot discriminate.
If you want to go in and print posters with
Charlie's pictures on them for a vigil, you have to
let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.
No you can't, Pam, you can't. Employers should fire people
(23:46):
like that, and they are firing people like that. But
they don't have a legal obligation to do so. Office
Depot fired those fools that wouldn't pray that up, not
because you were gonna do anything about it, because they're
a business and they're smart and they knew what their
(24:07):
employees did was wrong. Again, I am in the free
speech business.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I'm in the free speech business. My free speech was
taken away from me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I was deep platformed during COVID fort speaking COVID Truths,
great Barrington decoration, myriad of things that we were pointing
out here on the program. Yeah I don't want that, okay, Pam,
I don't know. Again, people on the right there saying, yeah,
(24:50):
that's a great idea. Are you out of your mind?
Do you understand how great this is? All these people
coming out in outing themselves. I have said this for
decades here on the program. The greatest thing about free
speech is you get to know who the fools are.
(25:10):
You get to figure out who the idiots are. Why
would you want to shut them up? They're outing themselves
in front of the entire world to see, and you're
going to prosecute that. Conservatives, okay, have fought for decades decades.
(25:37):
You talk about the right to refuse service to anyone.
Now Pam wants to roll that back. Okay, Everything that
is happening right now is not being handled by the government.
It's being handled through free speech and free markets. Okay,
(26:00):
what Pam Bondy needs to do?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And what Trump should I have any problem with this?
He should have done this in his first term. And again,
I played Escape from New York I at that time,
took the entire family was down in Florida, and I'm
watching I'm watching these cities being destroyed, Portland, Detroit, DC,
(26:25):
all this Black Lives Matter bull excrement that was going on,
anti FA. They should have gone after them. They should
have gone after them. Then you should have gone after
all of these Soros funding networks, for all of the
crap that they've been doing a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Go after that crap.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I have no problem with that at all, because we
know that they're they're basically breaking things down, destroying stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You an interesting jee.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
We had not a single Gucci store has been not
a single Walmart has been knocked over. There's been no riots,
no nothing, nothing but prayer vigils.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Oh, there's not a difference between the two.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Where do you think all these riots, all this stuff
comes from it comes from those sorrows and left wing
and anti fi networks. Not to mention I fact you
talk a look at all up the theft that's been
involved with those things that we've reported on here on
the program. Pam for crying out loud. Don't deal with speech.
You deal with the bad guys. That's your job.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Gotta take a break.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com, watch Dog on Wallstreet
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Sorry I got fired up about that. Okay again, you.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Know I'm in the free speech business for now, for now,
and until they.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Take that away, don't go anywhere. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The only man who is taking on the Wall Street establishment.
You're listening to the Watchdog and Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Anyway, there's only twenty four hours in a day, and
I do have to allocate myself. I get five and
a half six hours sleep every single night.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
So again I'm limited.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm limited in my ability to find every single garbage
investment in garbage company out there. Listen again, I know
I don't own them, but this one, this one I
saw again. It just well, they declared Chapter seven bankruptcy
(28:51):
Try Color Holdings file for bankruptcy in Texas. Liquidating Operations
got my attention. I said, bankers, what is this thing?
What is this Try Color Holding?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
So I took a look.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It was was a subprime auto lender, subprime auto lender,
and I'm sweetly lend to I take a look. They
lend to people without papers. Yeah, yeah, okay, they lent
to illegal immigrants. Now again, I didn't said, there's only
(29:33):
so many hours in a day. Wasn't aware of this.
I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe that. I looked at
their their bonds. Okay, their bonds, tricolors bonds. Their paper
was triple A rated in July. It's bloody September, triple
(29:56):
A rated in July. Again, this is this is the
problem that we have with Wall Street and the ratings agencies.
SNP and Moodies have always been a joke. They were
a joke during the financial crisis. Michael Lewis ripped into
(30:18):
him in The Big Short and in the movie as well.
They get paid for ratings. Now again, it doesn't take
doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that a company,
that business that that lends money for cars to illegals.
With Donald Trump in the White House shutting down the
(30:40):
border and making illegals leave, you might think that that
company might have some credit issues. The business model might
have some problems moving forward.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. Aicp
in Moodies. No, it's triple A rated again. Yeah, song
by public enemy. Can't trust it.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
You can't trust them, can't trust the rating agencies. You
can't trust the analysts at the big firm.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, It's just this is we We do it all internally, folks,
We do it all internally.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I mean, how how how shall I put it?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'll do Andy DeFraine from Shortshank, How a poose?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Can you be?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com? Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com.
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Street. You should
(32:01):
believe in math, not magic. You're listening to the Watchdog
on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Welcome back one of the things again.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I knew a lot of Charlie's positions on many different topics.
I was thrilled to see that we saw completely eye
to eye on where we're at as a nation, as
far as the economy is concerned and what it's like
for younger people. Again, you gotta call Charlie Kirk communist
(32:39):
the socialists. I get that sometimes when I'm the biggest
capitalist going, you know, basically telling you that we've got
some issues right now and we need to deal with
these issues and we have to deal with them. Another
one as well, as it came to foreign policy, in
his opinion of the War on terror, and same thing
(33:03):
that I've been saying for years war and terror has
been we lost, and we lost bigly. Even though we
you know, we continue to lose. I mean, we keep
telling ourselves we're racking up wins. Yet are you kidding me?
I Actually I mentioned Talib earlier on the program. He
(33:25):
had a quote that I wanted to share with you.
He said, it's not what you do directly to your
enemy that harms him, but his subsequent reactions. If your
enemy is narcissistic, he will obsess and keep harming himself
for years.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
And again that's what we've done. That's what we've done.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
We continue to harm ourselves for years with countless deaths.
And I know we talked about this a little bit
last week because September eleventh. But you know, money that
is spent and you know, again the overall direction of
the country. And I'm glad to see that he had
a similar philosophy as I did when it comes to that.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
A lot of moving to.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Grooving right now, when it comes to Anthony Fauci and
COVID and you're watching many of these exchanges that are
taking place again, they go viral, they're up on X
You're watching various different members of Congress wag their fingers
at others and create little videos from themselves.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Where do we go with any of these things? You
do you understand? You know? Se SPAN.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Se SPAN used to be a like a show that
nerds like myself would watch. Dorks like myself would watch.
We'd go and we watched, you know, things that were
going on in Congress and again they were just put
a the this way hell of a lot more civil,
hell of a lot more civil than and today now
(35:01):
we get shows money is made off this. You can
you guys can understand how how this stuff works. You
got members of Congress that are they're basically influencers, is
what they are. They're influencers. They make money off this stuff.
(35:21):
The more outrageous, the more attention you're gonna get. I
mentioned mentioned that Spike Lee movie that came out Denzel
Washington Highest to Lowest, and that was one of the
underlying themes there. And you know how again it was
actually a real shout out to black culture here in
(35:42):
this country and that the great singers of the past.
And again I'm constantly doing that with my kids as well,
sending them you know this is true black you know,
the the old motowns. I mean, just a wonderful, wonderful
music that it was made. And today and how it's
not about that. It's about attention, drawing attention to one self,
(36:05):
whether it's you know, righteously earned or anything like that.
And this is where we're at today. But anyway, more
smoking guns coming to Fauci and Ran Paul is just
trying his darness to make him to be held accountable.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Do I think it's gonna happen? NoHo?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Who has ever really held accountable? Is there ever people
at the top? I mean even think of that. You know,
they going after Trump and some of the people that
they got Roger Stone, Steve Bannon.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Throughout history.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I mean, we can go back to the financial crisis
go either before it probably before, but we'll go back
to the dot com collapse and all the fake analyst
reports that were put out and everything that was going on,
the big firms that were doing You know that one
person was prosecuted with all of that fraud that took place.
It was a back office, a back office order taker
(37:04):
from Bank of America by the name of Ted Steifel.
I kid you not look it up because he listened.
He didn't know any better. He listened to the hedge
fund that called him up and allowed him to purchase
mutual funds after the market closed, before they repriced him.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
He was the only one.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
All of the scams, everything that took place, nothing.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
You think Fauci's gonna get in trouble now, this is
just just for TV folks. And you know what, They're
gonna keep producing this television show as long as you watch.
It's getting great ratings, gets great ratings on X. Yeah,
let's watch X y Z. Congressman throw a hissy fit.
(37:52):
Let's let's watch this one. You know, try to play
gotcha with with somebody.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
It's it's for what what what is the endgame here?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
What are you trying to get at the endgame is
this attention to get more followers, to get more people
to watch them on X. They're no different, no different
than in my opinion, because they annoy the hell out
of me. The annoying people at the gym that set
up tripods and film their workouts just as annoying, or
(38:24):
or the influencers that go into restaurants and record their
entire visit for their page, equally annoying. But that's what
they've become. And it's it's it's too bad. It really
is a boy. Anyway, quickly on this story before we
gotta go. And this is kind of a life hack thing.
I saw this two and five young adults are taking
(38:48):
on debt for social image to impress peers.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
People don't do that. Kids.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Come on, man, you know again, I saw this. I
gotta get I gotta get to work on my life.
I pack page there on our site. We're gonna do
that A S A P. Anyway, everyone, have a have
a blessed week, God bless you all. Watchdog on Wallstreet
dot Com again is our site.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Get there, become a part of our family. Watchdog on
Wallstreet dot Com. We'll see it
Speaker 1 (39:19):
You're listening to the watchdog on Wall Street.
