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):
Oh the signal chat? Was it classified or not classified? Yeah?
I got a little blowback from some of the listeners
followers here on the program with my yes, somebody needs
to get fired over this, and I'm not changing my tone. Sorry.
Here we got we got more more of this chat.
(00:36):
Update released this morning. Pete hegset there weather, it's favorable.
Just confirm with Sentcom we are a goal for mission launch.
Basically put in you know, the first strike package, second
strike package. This should be on time. You can go
through and you can look it up yourself. Granted this
was basically in real time when these things were happening,
(00:59):
but uh, it's screw up. It is a major, massive, huge,
as Trump would say, screw up. You can spin it
any way you like, because that's what these people do.
That's what these people do. Few and far between are
(01:19):
actually saying, hey, wait a second here, you know something
was amiss again. Okay, Democrats are taking it way too far,
way too far. Should they be asking questions about this?
Should these things be brought up in a Senate here? Yeah,
it's legitimate and I'm sorry stop, Okay, give me a break.
(01:44):
If I said yesterday, if this happened during the Biden administration,
there'd be a collective freak out by Republicans, because that's
what people do. They look to politicize things to further
their side, their needs. Few and far between actually really
concerned what furthers the needs of the entire country, what's
best for the entire country. Most of these people, more
often not are self serving a holes. It is what
(02:06):
it is anyway. Okay, this is from Caroline, Yes, Carolineavet,
the Press secretary going after jeff Goldberg from The Atlantic.
Jeffrey Goldberg is a well known for his sensational spin.
Here are the facts about his latest story. No war
plans were discussed, No classified material was sent to the thread.
(02:28):
The White House Council's Office provide guidance on a number
of different platforms for President Trump's off officials to communicate
and safely and officially as possible. As an Ances Security
Council State of the White House is looking into how
Goldberg's number was inadvertently added to the thread thanks to
the strong, device decisive leadership of President trumpety when the
group the Hoothi strikes were successful and effective, terrorists were killed,
(02:48):
and that's what matters to the president. Yes, yeah, no
argument there. But again, well, I'm sorry, you mean to
tell me that what Haig said said here wasn't classified.
I'm sorry, Okay, I think, Karen, I find that very
very hard to believe. Okay, very hard to believe. I mean,
(03:12):
come on, he basically saying things. Was it as bad
as they made it out to me? No? No, but
that's that's politics. Let's go to another Uh. And again
I got a great deal of respect for for Charlie Kirk.
Uh he put this out accidentally adding a journalist to
your hothy strike chat? Or what's worse He's saying, what's worse?
(03:36):
Is it accidentally adding a journalist to a Hoothy strike chat?
Hold on one second, there, I just got a thought.
I don't think that by any stretch the imagination. I
don't think this is by accident. I don't think this
is by accident. This is kind of what pisses me
off quite Frankly, you know how Santa Claus has to
check his list and check it twice. Donald Trump and
(04:01):
the people within his administration should have learned from the
first time around that there are people within government that
hate them, that want to bring them down. Not just
in government, the entire basically almost all of the mainstream
media is going after it as well. And again they're
(04:21):
having a difficult time circling the wagons. This story is
giving them AMMO. Okay, they're able to They're able to
circle on this one. Put that aside. Okay, everything, everything
needs to more than Santa Claus more than once, more
than twice, three four times. Okay, who is on the
(04:45):
chat list? Who's on the chat list? Okay, you can
go through. Somebody needs to go through. You need to
hire somebody because someone put his name in there. Okay,
you're set up. You were set up. And quite frankly,
it looks like amateur hour should have been handled, should
(05:09):
have been handled. Sorry, guys, I'm like to stop try
and spin it. But anyway, back to Charlie here, adding,
he says, what's worse accidentally adding a journalist to your
houthy strike chat or pushing fake intelligence to justify invading
Iraq and getting five thousand American troops killed for nothing. Ken,
that's what Goldberg did. Okay. Dick Cheney was going on
(05:33):
the programs talking about Goldberg and his reporting. Yah, neo
cons Damn, that's all the same. What's worse this signal
group chat or lying about making progress in Afghanistan while
we spend a trillion dollars to achieve absolutely nothing, then
batching the evacuation so that we lost billions in equipment
(05:54):
and thirteen American soldiers lives. Charlie'm not out argue with you, Okay,
I am not all right, Charlie, You're right, okay, But
Charlie again, remind yourself of all of the Republicans, okay,
that spent the trillions of dollars the George Bush Donald
(06:16):
Trump first time around in Afghanistan. Charlie again, what's worse
a signal chat or letting millions of foreigners over the
border from sheltering criminals and gang members in flagrant defiance
of federal law. Charlie says, you're being subjected to propaganda
the people who let America into one disaster after another,
trying to convince you a relatively mild embarrassment is the
(06:38):
worst scandal ever. It's not the worst scandal ever. Okay,
and quite frankly, you know, I don't think most people
believe it's the worst scandal ever. And I get Charlie
what you're trying to say, but it's still unacceptable. It's
still unacceptable. Okay, I say, what's worse? What's worse driving
(07:04):
driving three seats to the wind drunk or you know,
driving you know, thirty miles an hour over the speed
limit and getting caught. I would say probably driving drunk, right,
But it doesn't justify it just doesn't. One doesn't justify
the other. Okay, that that's not that's not a game
that we should be playing. Okay, you know, I'll give
(07:27):
the get go again. You either do it right or
you get eliminated. And this was a big screw up
the again, you know, the the the neo cons at
the Wall Street Journal, you know the people that want,
you know, we the taxpayers to continue to be Team
America World Police. Yep allies. Yeah, three upset our allies again. Yeah.
(07:54):
Lessons from the signal chat on the Hoothies. The leak
for will fade but not jd Vance is contempt for
our allies. If you are not disgusted, disgusted by the
fact that we've been taking advantage of since World War to,
(08:17):
come on, man, Hi and Eisenhower were warned about this
crap and what was going to happen being a Soviet
Union fell. Apart from crying out loud, I was a kid.
It's a kid in college for crying out. It was
a long time ago, NATO, don't we got to keep
(08:41):
spending money on NATO. We got yes, NATO, and we
got to continue to defend Europe. Yet Europe has continued
to do more and more business with Russia and buying
more and more energy from them. That makes no sense whatsoever.
Why would they become reliant upon somebody we're trying to
defend them with. It just did moronic at all levels.
It makes no logical sense outside of the people that
(09:01):
are benefiting from this, the neocons, the people that are
members of NATO. This is Charonay's sipping circuit that travels
all over the gold and stays in first class hotels
and flies first class or takes private on your done.
It's reality, Okay. Jd Vance is not wrong. Europe has
(09:22):
been freeloading for a long period of time. Oh, yes,
sor it's contempt for our allies. What the hell are
they going to do? Well? You know, Chris after September eleventh,
I don't even know what the article is. Oh, they
invoked the article where one attack on one was an
attack on all. Oh, come on, it was a terror
attack here in the United States. Did you do you
(09:45):
see Europe all of a sudden gassing up the freaking
jets and flying into Afghanistans, our bomb and anything. No,
that was us. We are trying a kid, stop with
the bullshit. Okay, that was pure propaganda for crying out loud. Yes,
I know. Did certain count send soldiers over to fight
with ours? And some got absolutely? Absolutely? But take a
(10:07):
look at us all in since NATOS started? Even now,
where's vance wrong? Is he wrong? Is he wrong in
saying that, Hey, about three percent of our stuff is
going through here, most of this is Europe. Why don't
they step up? Why aren't they doing this? How is
he wrong? He's not? But again, this is this is
(10:29):
their world that these people, and these are their buddies,
just the world that they run in. This is the
world that they hang out in. You know, another interesting
thing in regards this whole signal uh nonsense here that
judge Bosberg, the one that was denying the Trump administration,
(10:52):
blocked his efforts to deport illegal aliens from gangs. Uh,
he's one of somebody filed some sort of case lawsuit
about this. I don't know what they're suing about, but yeah,
he's the judge in this case. Anyway, Okay, hopefully, hopefully
(11:18):
the Trump administration, hopefully they're going to find out who's stuck.
Who stuck Goldberg's name in that check somebody did. They
didn't happen. By magic, It didn't happen, by my I
actually saw one pundit today on TV. It was so stupid. Well,
you know, well sometimes when you put phones close together,
(11:41):
you know, data can get transferred from one to the other.
