Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well known alter investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trainer. Chris
Markowski is the watchdog the Wall Street. 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
(00:29):
the true bringing America the truth about what really happens
in the financial world.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
We're not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political
and economic reality.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
This is the watchdog Wall Streets.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I was I was getting my haircut this past Wednesday.
Barbershop is an area of Tampa that's called Ebor City.
It's kind of a neat place back in They a
lot of Cuban cigars are made their restaurants, and you
still got like roosters and whatnot running around in a neighborhood.
(01:06):
But anyway, neither here nor there. This barbershop that I
go to, guys are from the Bronx, New York. Got
a lot of Yankees Paraphnama Yankee fan or Giants fans
as well. Barber's working in there, and I got the
television's on and the story, you know, breaking news, breaking news,
(01:28):
shooting in Minnesota, and I'm like glued to it. I'm
waiting my turn. It's on for maybe maybe four or
five minutes, and then one of the barber's changes the
channel because you know what stephen A and the others
(01:49):
are arguing about in regards to Bill Belichick and coaching
at North Carolina is that much more important than this?
And I just shook my head. I kept my mouth shut, okay,
And I don't work there. You know, I'm not going
to come in and tell, you know, anybody to change back.
It's not that's not who I am. But also kind
of kind of wake up hall shows is kind of
(02:09):
we are and how we want to ignore, but what's
what's taking place here in this country? And I try
to be as honest as I possibly can, but at
the same time doing this show and people get mad
at me. I get nasty messages from people, now your
Bible Thumper and Nick they're calling me this, and I'm like, what, well,
(02:35):
you know, everything I do, everything I try to do,
and I make this perfectly clear. You know, I talk
about you know, being a you know with money, Okay,
you don't own anything. You have to be good stewards
of what you have. I try. I'm trying. We all try,
you know, I understand it's my faith system is that
(02:56):
you know I'm not worthy. Okay, I'm trying to be
better every single day and I'm going to fail. I'm
going to fail at that. I'm gonna maybe say something
that maybe I shouldn't have. Right, I take a look
back and said, maybe I shouldn't have presented it in
that way. I got to try to do better next time. Bible,
I said, it's who I am, is what I believe in,
(03:20):
and I don't they don't see me here. I mean,
you know, very rarely do I bring Bible versus I
do from time to time. That's that's not what I'm about.
You know, the old Saint Francis preach the gospel sometimes
use words, try to use it like you know, use
the actions that you do in life. But anyway, I
(03:40):
watched and I don't know if you've seen. I don't
know if the mainstream media is covered because I really
don't watch much anymore. I get, you know, I have
to ask people that actually do watch it. Did they
cover that? Because I really don't care. You watch the
video they took it down. They took it down. It
was grabbed and I got a copy of this guy's
(04:02):
video that he put out prior to this shooting. And
it was scary. It was it was It was like
a real life almost kind of like Blair Witchcraft type
of a video. And I knew it at the beginning.
(04:23):
I saw it was a shooting Catholic church kids. I said, I,
this is this is a trans thing. It's a trans thing.
Before it even came out, I knew it. I knew it.
And you watched this video. You watch this video and
then you can actually look if you want to. Okay, again,
(04:46):
it's it's a it's a dark hole you're going to
go in. This person drew a picture of himself in
a mirror and the reflection was a demon. That was
a demon. And you translate some of the Russian. Had
(05:07):
some of the Russian that was translated in the writing.
There is writing who when will this end? Help me?
I don't want to kill yourself kill this is It's
just a bit. It's a horror movie. Again. The people
(05:31):
will pooh poo it all they want. But sorry, okay,
as I said, you tell me, you tell me that
the demonic doesn't exist. I'm sorry. There's no way you're
gonna convince me otherwise. No way, nohow, you're just kidding yourself.
(05:52):
You're kidding yourself. Transgender ism. I have been been called
a million names. You're a hater, You're this You're not
about freedom, all this crap. Lady guy, guy, born this way. No,
you weren't born that way. It was put to me
(06:16):
this way, Okay. Trans Genderism is the decision, is decision
to in pride, to turn your back on God and
decide that, Hey, I'm gonna make myself in my own image,
(06:40):
live a life of self worship. Hey, I'll even get
a new name in the process. This was not mine.
This was presented to me, and I was like, wow,
you know what else did that Satan? Exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I I.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Have never understood this, Okay, I think it is. You
couldn't get more evil, pumping kids with drugs, changing body.
And you want to take a look the percent of
you its adults identifying as transgender by birth year. Okay,
(07:25):
it's now almost three point eight percent these people. And again,
it used to be classified okay, it used to be
classified as a mental health disorder. It most certainly is
there's something wrong? Okay, this is not okay. I mean
(07:50):
it's a good question. Would you you know, what would
you say to a do What would you say to
a doctor who decided, you know, so somebody came in
that was uh uh anorexic. You gotta know, an antirexa
comes into your office and wants to have liposuction? Would
you do it.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Again?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
This? This is a whole nother level of evil allowing
this to happen. What these people are doing, it's wrong
in so many ways. And again we we kind of
try and I see things like this and I'm sorry,
(08:33):
parent gets it. Okay, my kids they're all you know,
you're out of college or in college at this point
in time. But I remember, I mean everybody, how many
ever did the kids your first day of school pictures
back then? The poor parents, it's it's absolutely heartbreaking. They're
(09:00):
in church praying. They're in church praying, and you know
one of the things that he said, you know, he
wrote on one of his can he watched the video
wrote on one of the clips for the gun, you know,
where is your God? And I saw that and it
(09:27):
punched me and I said, you know what, reminded me
of it, and I highly recommend this book Song for Nagasaki.
It's a story of somebody Japanese man, very famous in Japan.
His name is Takashi and the guy Takashi, the guy
uh uh well again he he was was an atheist.
(09:54):
He was an atheist in Nagasaki. And uh, Nagasaki was
again very Catholic area. And if I'm not going to
get into the entire history of Catholicism and what happened
with the you know, eventually killing them off and Maximilian Kobe,
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, who actually came to Nagasaki set up
the thing there. Anyway, I'm gonna again, I'm gonna let
(10:15):
you read the story because it's an absolutely amazing story.
Read the story of Takashi, na guy. And he survived,
He survived the the atomic bomb blast. His wife didn't.
His kids were luckily they were away with his grandparents
(10:36):
at that point and time and again that was you know,
ground zero cass the cathedral atomic bomb Nagasaki. He he
rallied the people there to come together and rebuild that
(10:58):
and he he they basically because that ended World War two.
And he called what they went through and again right away,
imagine how to say this people who just had their
families incinerated, and said to them and said, you know
this is this is be basically call it like a
burnt sacrifice to end this war. Maybe people will see
(11:23):
this and maybe it won't happen again. You maybe, maybe
maybe we'll wake up. I don't know, I don't Maybe
people will wake up to see just the evils of
what we're doing to human beings, allowing this, these chemicals
and these surgeries and all of this to take place.
(11:44):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know. But again it
breaks breaks my heart, breaks my heart another again. I
know this is kind of a downer type stories here,
but I have to address this stuff. Did an extensive
(12:05):
I'm not gonna spend that much time on it. I
did an extensive podcast on this this past week talking
about AI. I guess I'm gonna what I You know,
I love technology. I love technology, but I love technology
when it's used properly. When it's used properly, and unfortunately,
(12:25):
we human beings, we take things way too far. I'm
gonna give you an example. Social media. Social media, Okay,
and I saw it. We called it here on the program,
I said, this is gonna turn into a sewer and
it's gonna pit people against one another. I remember it
(12:50):
took me forever ever before I said, all right, yeah, Chris,
you gotta put a Facebook page up, one long, one long,
where you know, some on from high school that was
jealous decided to start, you know, posting nasty things there.
And I'm saying, I don't even this. Why is this
person being meanable? Why would you do that? Look at
(13:12):
what it's turned into, I say, said, I called it
the pink slime from Ghostbusters too, that ran under the city,
that got everybody fight. I saw that happening. You know,
there's that line, and I've used it before. Here on
the program. The movie Jurassic Park, doctor Ian Malcolm there
Goldblum is phenomenal, and he says this, Oh it's stuck
(13:36):
with me. It's you know, looking at what he's seeing there,
what they're doing with the dinosaurs. And he asked yourself,
I said, you know, it's not whether or not you
asked if whether or not you could do this are capable,
just whether or not you should do this. The old
unintended consequence is what is going to happen. I bring
(13:57):
this up. I went through this, this family, this family
who is suing chat gpt, suing chat GPT and sam Otman,
I saw that their kid committed suicide and chat GPT
(14:18):
encouraged the kid to do it, encouraged the kid to
commit suicide again. I'm they got a lot more. I
gotta go over on the program today. I did a
podcast on it this past week. Google it, look it up.
It's frightening. Okay. I use AI as a tool for
(14:41):
certain things, but parents, please, please, you gotta check on
This is gonna look at kids phones and they can't
be establishing relationships with a chat bot.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
And this just happened before.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And it was another kid in Florida that it happened
to last year as well. Stay on top of this stuff.
Watch your kids, please. Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. We'll do cracker Barrel when
we get back.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Don't go with it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
All right, Yeah, all interview requests to talk about cracker
Barrel this past week, and I declined it wasn't interested
in participating in this. We we did obviously talk about
it on the podcast, and I'm gonna talk about it
quickly here because again this stupid. Think about the amount
(16:03):
of time that was spent spent over the past week
on cracker barrel, with people on TV talking about cracker barrel,
people going on social media talking about cracker barrel that
have never stepped in a cracker barrel in their entire lives. Never.
(16:29):
This was I don't know who started it. It was like
that that was a Billie joelsone who didn't We didn't
start the fire. Somebody started this fire. Somebody did. And wow,
you watch and then you watch how the media fans
the flames. They're like, oh, look at this. We gotta
(16:50):
sell the story. We got to and then we can
get people on and we can get them to argue
over nothing, literally over nothing. Listen. Was the rebrand stupid? Yeah,
I mean, nothing wrong with your logo, there's nothing wrong
with your brand. You turned it into something that looks
(17:11):
like you pulled off a like some sort of brand
template on Microsoft Word or something like that was awful.
But you know, freshening up the stores whatever. Maybe you
know companies do that from time to time, and again
they had to make it like this big thing on woke.
(17:33):
This is not bud Light. Let me tell you why
it's not bud Light. Bud Light's doing well, was doing well.
Why would you rebrand? Why? Why would you do that?
Why would you do a transgender whatever? I don't know
that with Dylan's cut things off or not, I have
no idea. Okay, whatever, I don't know what you would
categorize he, she, whatever they is? I don't know. Okay,
(17:57):
you don't put someone like that on a beer can. Okay, dumb,
You don't know your customers. Dumb. And again, your brand
was doing well, but the funny things, Cracker Bill was
not doing well. The numbers were horrible. What were the
CEO terrible? They were gonna spend seven hundred million dollars
(18:19):
on a rebrand? You think you're going to be attracting
the youth with that menu that you have? No, No,
this is restaurants a lot of older people go to,
and quite frankly, after COVID, a lot of these people
didn't come back to the restaurant. They've got their issues.
(18:41):
They had to do something. Did they do it the
right way?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But is it just some big culture war issue? No,
it's not. You see you got duped into this cramp again.
They got you talking about dumb things, speaking of dumb things.
The Wall Street Journal, Wall Street Journal. I didn't realize
they do wedding announcements at the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I was a big deal. Back in the day we
actually got physical newspapers. It was like a societal thing.
If you could have your wedding announcement in the New
York Times, you had to be upper crust in the
city surrounding area in Connecticut, in an all shore of
Long Island to get your wedding announcement in the New
York Times. The Wall Street Journal does an entire story
(19:31):
on their front page about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey
The Wall Street Journal. At some time, people, you know,
we got to put the nonsense away, Okay, put the
nonsense away, the distractions away, and kind of focus on
(19:54):
actually fixing the things that are wrong here with this country.
I really you got call people posting everywhere about cracker
all these you you've got time in your day to
be doing this again. Seriously, come on, come on, anyway,
(20:15):
gotta take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com,
Watchdog on Wall Street dot com again is our site.
Become a part of our family, The Markowski Investments family,
personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all sorts of great stuff.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com or give us a call
eight hundred four seven four.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Chris Markowski is the Watchdog on Wall Street, the only
(21:00):
man who is taking on the Wall Street establishments. You're
listening to the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Welcome back, everybody. Yeah, I'm gonna stir the pot again
right here. The Trump administration. Trump administration is considering limiting
people's Section eight housing vouchers to two years unless you
are elderly or disabled. And everyone all of a sudden
(21:32):
is like, yeah, that's a great idea. That's lost for me.
People staying their way too. I get that. I get that.
And again, no one has railed against, No one has
railed against the way we handle handouts and giveaways in
the welfare state harder than I have, harder than I have.
(21:53):
I have called it probably America's greatest drug problem. I
call it a drug problem. Well, the pathologies, the pathologies
that coincide with handouts and giveaways here in our country,
the things that go along with them are very similar
to drug abuse. Same types of things happen. We don't
(22:18):
judge our social welfare programs based upon who we're getting
off them and helping people out. And I'm all four
helping people. Social safety nets are fine. Something awful happens,
that's what you're supposed to do, help somebody get back
on their feet. But that's not what they do. I
don't think the politics of this is going to work
(22:40):
at all. They mentioned it again, they mentioned a lot.
I think they float a lot of trial balloons. I
think they know well and good that the mainstream media
will have cameras of oh, kids are getting thrown out
of houses and this is going to be terrible and
it's gonna be homeless, and they're not going to be wrong.
They're not going to be wrong with that is. Again,
(23:01):
people are gonna call me racist with this, but this
is not. This is doesn't make any difference what race,
white color, That makes an difference who you are. Okay,
you get somebody addicted to handouts and giveaways, that's all
they know, that's all they know. We have to find
a way to break the cycle. Have to find a
(23:25):
way to break the cycle. Again. I've written about this extensively.
Talk about you know, Lyndon Johnson being one of the
most consequential presidents in this country, says do you think
about his War on poverty? Nineteen sixty four State of
the Union Address, two hundred new laws, medicare, medicaid, federal
(23:46):
aid to public schools, bilingual education, Headstart, food stamps, urban
renewal programs, massive spending arts and humanities, enormous increase in immigration,
Section eight, public housing, aid for college students, and of
course NPR and PBS. And his address January eight, nineteen
(24:07):
sixty four. This administration here here now declares unconditional war
on poverty in America. We love our wars here in
the United States, don't we?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
We do?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
War on drugs, oh Korea, Vietnam, War on terror, war
on climate change, War on poverty? What does this cost us?
Thirty trillion dollars? I wrote about it. You know, this
was ten years ago. It was around twenty two Trillion's
(24:36):
got to be gotta be around thirty trillion at this
point in time. What have we got? Eighty means tested
welfare programs? Is the poverty rate any different today than
it wasn't? No now? And this has nothing to do
with race. There was a Bill mcgern article back in
twenty fifteen and interesting is LBJ LB Jay started his
(25:01):
campaign for the War on Poverty and know where that
took place? That took place in Appalachia a porch in Appalachia.
Johnson used the front porch of a shack in eastern
Kentucky's Martin County to launch his Great Society programs. That
county is at the time I wrote about this, ninety
two percent white Baltimore, two thirds black Martin County. Martin
(25:25):
County voted overwhelming for Romney back in the election when
it was Romney versus Obama, Baltimore overwhelmingly for Obama. Same situation.
Talks about Martin County today goes to a Lexington Herald
Leader is the newspaper in there area. Was a piece
by a guy by the name of John Cheeves. The
(25:47):
problem facing Appalachia isn't third world poverty. Its dependence on
government assistance. Just one example. When Congress imposed work requirements
in lifetime caps for welfare during the Clinton administration, claims
of disability jumped again. Can't get that. I gotta find
to get my hand out somewhere else, and he quotes
(26:08):
a grade school principal who says this of Martin County's children,
the's white kids. Instead of talking about a future of
work or a profession, they talk about getting a check.
It's an addiction, and we have to find some way
to break the cycle. Some of the things that we've
(26:30):
discussed here on the programs is identifying kids that are
in households like that, having a public school system that
runs almost like Hogwarts does, where they're being taught the
things that they're not being taught in their home. Find
a way to make it in their parents' best interest
to allow their kids to go to that private school.
Another one is, listen, you're getting Section eight housing. You
(26:52):
can't have any more kids.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What do you mean you're living off the taxpayer? This
is called an eye you do you can't have any
more children. I don't know what to tell you people.
How do you break the cycle? It is the same way.
And this is gonna sound harsh, but it doesn't make
any difference. Okay, make any difference. The reason why they
tell you not to feed the animals that Yellowstone, it's
(27:19):
still good. They're gonna make the animals dependent. You can't
do that, and that's what we've done with our welfare
programs here in this country. I wish I had the answer.
I really do, but we're not trying hard enough to
fix the problem. You're not helping anybody keeping them on
welfare their entire lives. It's a waste of a life.
(27:46):
Got to take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. We'll be back.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You know, a lot of times you have to choose
between something high quality or something that saves you money.
But what if you could get both?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You get both.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta Share.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
And that's huge.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
But it's also true that people wind up way more
satisfied too, and we know this from research of members.
There's a lot they like about meta Share, but especially
they love being part of something they believe in. And
Metashare works too, it has for more than thirty years.
There are hundreds of thousands of members who love having
telehealth if they need it. They love the huge Ppo network.
(28:38):

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Exercise is hard, so as maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke feel nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You should believe in math, not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Welcome back, ready, it is the Watchdog on Wall Street show.
So man, they made a administration made a big hullabaloo
in regards to arresting the Sandwich Guy. The Sandwich the
Subman the guy who threw the sub at the police officer.
They sent, well the guy again, I tried to turn
(31:54):
himself in. They wouldn't allow that because they had to
put on a show. So they sent twenty cops to
arrest the sub throwing guy. Oh, the sub throwing guy
got off. Yeah, the sub throwing guy got off again.
You know, they were actually talking about it on the five,
all this stuff and Lord order, we got Janine Piro,
(32:14):
there were going after the sub guy. Let me tell
you something, okay, And I'm gonna get a little heated
at this point time. Didn't vote for that. I voted.
I voted to go after pedophiles. How many Epstein Buddies
clients abusing children? How many of them been arrested so far? Zero? Zero?
(32:38):
What we were told about all of these people that
were laundering money through NGOs, how many have been arrested? Zero?
Anthony Fauci and the whole COVID crew, how many have
been arrested? Zero? Again, can you guys, you know, start
(33:03):
focusing on that again. You guys can't even get the
low lying fruit at this point in time. It's honestly,
it's embarrassing great. I mean, you guys are you know,
obviously you know, grounded up the criminals, the bad guys,
the illegals there that that's fine, Okay, go ahead, do that, Okay,
reducing crimes, and people seem to be happy in Washington,
(33:24):
d C. Reducing crimes. That's fine, Okay, that's great. But
I want I want these people too. You gotta you gotta,
you know, drain the swamp, get rid of the bad,
you know, go after not don't just go after those
criminal go after the big criminals in Washington, d C.
Anyway quickly on this. I I don't even know how
(33:46):
these companies make money anymore. I took a look at
the viewership declines and these major networks at this point
in time, wholely Schnikeys. They are in the the third
quarter twenty five year to date Disney down eleven percent,
(34:09):
Paramount Sky Dance down twenty two percent, Fox down twenty percent,
Warner Brothers down twenty six percent, Comcast which is NBC
and MSNBC forty nine percent to the downside. How do
you make money? I really don you know. The funny
(34:31):
thing is is that you know what I see Fox's
average viewer right now, the demographic is that was it
sixty nine years old?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Anyway, again, I'm trying to figure out where they're geting
money from Watchdog on Wall Street dot com. I guess
football's paying the bills. I would assume.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street bringing America
(35:14):
financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Oh right, welcome back, Hidos. It is the Watchdog on
Wall Street show. Now, yeah, I got upset about the arrested.
But again, people post the phoneline. This is what I
voted for. No, this is what I voted for. Do this, okay.
Trump calls for rico charges against Soros over violent protest support.
(35:45):
The Gates Foundation abruptly severs ties with this Arabella Advisor's
I'm familiar with Arabella Advisors. It's like a dark money
machine for the radical left. And without a doubt, they
do the track with the phones. Most of these these
protests and rallies. You see the same people again and
again and again. He asked the question. I said, yeah,
how do these people afford to, you know, be here
(36:07):
and be out of work, and I don't do I
did one. That's not true. I did one one rally
and it wasn't a political route, was like anti political rally.
The original Tea Party event, regional Tea Party event. I
gave a speech the thousands of people down in southwest Florida.
(36:30):
At that point in time, the Tea Party wasn't taken
over by the Republicans. Republicans weren't even invited. They weren't
even invited. No politicians were allowed in the original Tea Party.
And that's basically funny. How I started off my speech,
I said, I'm not gonna come here and rail against Obama. Yeah,
this is years ago. I got a railwousand nine yet
(36:52):
Eightril fifteen, two thousand and I'm not going to rail
against Obama. Way, Obama's doing what he said he was
gonna do. I'm gonna rail against thus Republicans who say
that they're gonna do one thing and don't do it.
But anyway, Soros pays all these people to go to
these protests and do all this stuff, and Trump goes
after from Rico, I'll be quite happy, But do me
a favor. Stop teasing this man. Okay, Yeah, you're supposed
(37:16):
to go after Fauci. Didn't do that, Yeah, supposed to
Epstein not no nothing there. You know, stop telling us
you're gonna do something and don't do it. Yeah, actually
put Pam Bondi to work outside of the guy who
do the sandwich please? Was you just just asking a
favor anyway? Had this question, I'd to do a quick
podcast on it as well. I want to share this
(37:37):
with everybody as well. I am. I've got more social
media accounts now, Instagram, TikTok, and obviously got to put
short form stuff up there. I was again, I had
my interns interview me a few weeks ago here on
the program, which was a lot of fun. Well, yeah,
they said, Chris, you know you got to really start
trying to teach younger people and reach out to them,
(37:59):
and you know, you gotta go where you know the
people are, the young people are, and they're on those spots,
even though I don't like those spots. So yeah, I'm
posting short form little videos and teach things on those
spots as well. One of the things I don't do
I will not engage in ever ever. Yeah, I do
our podcast, but I also you know, post the podcast
(38:22):
on YouTube, we do videos of them. I don't get
into debates on social media. I don't get into conversations.
And people say, well, you got to do that, you
got to interact with people. I'm like, you do understand that.
I have to at least get six hours of sleep
at night, at least I don't have time for this.
(38:44):
Not to mention the fact most of the stuff that
have posted it's just inane garbage. It really is funny.
Doug cast post this past week. He said that it
has said that fifty four percent of Americans read at
a sixth grade level. Many of those fifty four percent
(39:06):
reside on Twitter, social media, other places, and they don't
have any problem at all opening their mouth and opining
on things they don't have a clue about. Now, want
to interact with me, Yeah, send me an email, Go
to my website, send me an email and have it
(39:29):
makes sense. Don't say nasty things or whatever it may be.
Make an argument and I'll respond to it. Okay, I
learned this, learn this very valuable life lesson. Okay, never
argue with idiots again. I've done a lot of radio
in my days, and I've hosted Drive Time programs in
(39:52):
the morning, three hour drive time in the morning, three
hour drive time in the evening. You get a lot
of local callers here and there. And I learned my lesson,
do not argue with idiots. They've got way too much
experience at being an idiot, and the conversation is never
going to rise above that level. So what's the point.
(40:16):
It's like banging your head against the wall and exercise
and futility. Anyway, anyway, not too happy about this. Again,
we were told I voted for I voted for getting
rid of all of these superfluous IRS agents. Remember Joe Biden,
(40:37):
Joe Biden eighty seven thousand, eighty seven thousand new hires
to the irs. Trump put a stop to that, until
he didn't. They've now reversed, reversed that decision, and they're
calling everybody back in, everyone that was fired, pushed out,
(41:00):
tired early, and again they're saying it's to advance the one,
big beautiful bill. How so, I mean, you said it,
But how does this advance the big beautiful bill? It does?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
It?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Does it? It's nonsensical? Quite frankly quickly on this story
as well. Again, I often talk about education here in
the United States, and one of the arguments by the
left all the time. It's just don't spend enough money.
Spend more money education, so we need to do and
the schools will be so much better. Wrong. Okay. Since
(41:41):
twenty thirteen, spending on public schools in the United States
is up by fifty six percent. Inflation is up by
thirty five percent. Okay, so again, growing educational spending public
schools greater than inflation. How is it that reading scores
are in the toilet and getting worse? How is it
(42:03):
that math scores are that much worse? Again, it's not
the money, Not the money it's gonna determine whether the
kids are doing well in the school. It's the parents.
Parents care, kids care, just that simple, not money. Watchdog
on Wall street dot Com. God bless everybody, have a
(42:24):
wonderful week.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
Well known alter investment banker, consumer advocate, handalyst, trainer. Chris
Markowski is the watchdog the Wall Street. 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
(00:29):
the true bringing America the truth about what really happens
in the financial world.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
We're not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political
and economic reality.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
This is the watchdog Wall Streets.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I was I was getting my haircut this past Wednesday.
Barbershop is an area of Tampa that's called Ebor City.
It's kind of a neat place back in They a
lot of Cuban cigars are made their restaurants, and you
still got like roosters and whatnot running around in a neighborhood.
(01:06):
But anyway, neither here nor there. This barbershop that I
go to, guys are from the Bronx, New York. Got
a lot of Yankees Paraphnama Yankee fan or Giants fans
as well. Barber's working in there, and I got the
television's on and the story, you know, breaking news, breaking news,
(01:28):
shooting in Minnesota, and I'm like glued to it. I'm
waiting my turn. It's on for maybe maybe four or
five minutes, and then one of the barber's changes the
channel because you know what stephen A and the others
(01:49):
are arguing about in regards to Bill Belichick and coaching
at North Carolina is that much more important than this?
And I just shook my head. I kept my mouth shut, okay,
And I don't work there. You know, I'm not going
to come in and tell, you know, anybody to change back.
It's not that's not who I am. But also kind
of kind of wake up hall shows is kind of
(02:09):
we are and how we want to ignore, but what's
what's taking place here in this country? And I try
to be as honest as I possibly can, but at
the same time doing this show and people get mad
at me. I get nasty messages from people, now your
Bible Thumper and Nick they're calling me this, and I'm like, what, well,
(02:35):
you know, everything I do, everything I try to do,
and I make this perfectly clear. You know, I talk
about you know, being a you know with money, Okay,
you don't own anything. You have to be good stewards
of what you have. I try. I'm trying. We all try,
you know, I understand it's my faith system is that
(02:56):
you know I'm not worthy. Okay, I'm trying to be
better every single day and I'm going to fail. I'm
going to fail at that. I'm gonna maybe say something
that maybe I shouldn't have. Right, I take a look
back and said, maybe I shouldn't have presented it in
that way. I got to try to do better next time. Bible,
I said, it's who I am, is what I believe in,
(03:20):
and I don't they don't see me here. I mean,
you know, very rarely do I bring Bible versus I
do from time to time. That's that's not what I'm about.
You know, the old Saint Francis preach the gospel sometimes
use words, try to use it like you know, use
the actions that you do in life. But anyway, I
(03:40):
watched and I don't know if you've seen. I don't
know if the mainstream media is covered because I really
don't watch much anymore. I get, you know, I have
to ask people that actually do watch it. Did they
cover that? Because I really don't care. You watch the
video they took it down. They took it down. It
was grabbed and I got a copy of this guy's
(04:02):
video that he put out prior to this shooting. And
it was scary. It was it was It was like
a real life almost kind of like Blair Witchcraft type
of a video. And I knew it at the beginning.
(04:23):
I saw it was a shooting Catholic church kids. I said, I,
this is this is a trans thing. It's a trans thing.
Before it even came out, I knew it. I knew it.
And you watched this video. You watch this video and
then you can actually look if you want to. Okay, again,
(04:46):
it's it's a it's a dark hole you're going to
go in. This person drew a picture of himself in
a mirror and the reflection was a demon. That was
a demon. And you translate some of the Russian. Had
(05:07):
some of the Russian that was translated in the writing.
There is writing who when will this end? Help me?
I don't want to kill yourself kill this is It's
just a bit. It's a horror movie. Again. The people
(05:31):
will pooh poo it all they want. But sorry, okay,
as I said, you tell me, you tell me that
the demonic doesn't exist. I'm sorry. There's no way you're
gonna convince me otherwise. No way, nohow, you're just kidding yourself.
(05:52):
You're kidding yourself. Transgender ism. I have been been called
a million names. You're a hater, You're this You're not
about freedom, all this crap. Lady guy, guy, born this way. No,
you weren't born that way. It was put to me
(06:16):
this way, Okay. Trans Genderism is the decision, is decision
to in pride, to turn your back on God and
decide that, Hey, I'm gonna make myself in my own image,
(06:40):
live a life of self worship. Hey, I'll even get
a new name in the process. This was not mine.
This was presented to me, and I was like, wow,
you know what else did that Satan? Exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I I.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Have never understood this, Okay, I think it is. You
couldn't get more evil, pumping kids with drugs, changing body.
And you want to take a look the percent of
you its adults identifying as transgender by birth year. Okay,
(07:25):
it's now almost three point eight percent these people. And again,
it used to be classified okay, it used to be
classified as a mental health disorder. It most certainly is
there's something wrong? Okay, this is not okay. I mean
(07:50):
it's a good question. Would you you know, what would
you say to a do What would you say to
a doctor who decided, you know, so somebody came in
that was uh uh anorexic. You gotta know, an antirexa
comes into your office and wants to have liposuction? Would
you do it.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Again?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
This? This is a whole nother level of evil allowing
this to happen. What these people are doing, it's wrong
in so many ways. And again we we kind of
try and I see things like this and I'm sorry,
(08:33):
parent gets it. Okay, my kids they're all you know,
you're out of college or in college at this point
in time. But I remember, I mean everybody, how many
ever did the kids your first day of school pictures
back then? The poor parents, it's it's absolutely heartbreaking. They're
(09:00):
in church praying. They're in church praying, and you know
one of the things that he said, you know, he
wrote on one of his can he watched the video
wrote on one of the clips for the gun, you know,
where is your God? And I saw that and it
(09:27):
punched me and I said, you know what, reminded me
of it, and I highly recommend this book Song for Nagasaki.
It's a story of somebody Japanese man, very famous in Japan.
His name is Takashi and the guy Takashi, the guy
uh uh well again he he was was an atheist.
(09:54):
He was an atheist in Nagasaki. And uh, Nagasaki was
again very Catholic area. And if I'm not going to
get into the entire history of Catholicism and what happened
with the you know, eventually killing them off and Maximilian Kobe,
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, who actually came to Nagasaki set up
the thing there. Anyway, I'm gonna again, I'm gonna let
(10:15):
you read the story because it's an absolutely amazing story.
Read the story of Takashi, na guy. And he survived,
He survived the the atomic bomb blast. His wife didn't.
His kids were luckily they were away with his grandparents
(10:36):
at that point and time and again that was you know,
ground zero cass the cathedral atomic bomb Nagasaki. He he
rallied the people there to come together and rebuild that
(10:58):
and he he they basically because that ended World War two.
And he called what they went through and again right away,
imagine how to say this people who just had their
families incinerated, and said to them and said, you know
this is this is be basically call it like a
burnt sacrifice to end this war. Maybe people will see
(11:23):
this and maybe it won't happen again. You maybe, maybe
maybe we'll wake up. I don't know, I don't Maybe
people will wake up to see just the evils of
what we're doing to human beings, allowing this, these chemicals
and these surgeries and all of this to take place.
(11:44):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know. But again it
breaks breaks my heart, breaks my heart another again. I
know this is kind of a downer type stories here,
but I have to address this stuff. Did an extensive
(12:05):
I'm not gonna spend that much time on it. I
did an extensive podcast on this this past week talking
about AI. I guess I'm gonna what I You know,
I love technology. I love technology, but I love technology
when it's used properly. When it's used properly, and unfortunately,
(12:25):
we human beings, we take things way too far. I'm
gonna give you an example. Social media. Social media, Okay,
and I saw it. We called it here on the program,
I said, this is gonna turn into a sewer and
it's gonna pit people against one another. I remember it
(12:50):
took me forever ever before I said, all right, yeah, Chris,
you gotta put a Facebook page up, one long, one long,
where you know, some on from high school that was
jealous decided to start, you know, posting nasty things there.
And I'm saying, I don't even this. Why is this
person being meanable? Why would you do that? Look at
(13:12):
what it's turned into, I say, said, I called it
the pink slime from Ghostbusters too, that ran under the city,
that got everybody fight. I saw that happening. You know,
there's that line, and I've used it before. Here on
the program. The movie Jurassic Park, doctor Ian Malcolm there
Goldblum is phenomenal, and he says this, Oh it's stuck
(13:36):
with me. It's you know, looking at what he's seeing there,
what they're doing with the dinosaurs. And he asked yourself,
I said, you know, it's not whether or not you
asked if whether or not you could do this are capable,
just whether or not you should do this. The old
unintended consequence is what is going to happen. I bring
(13:57):
this up. I went through this, this family, this family
who is suing chat gpt, suing chat GPT and sam Otman,
I saw that their kid committed suicide and chat GPT
(14:18):
encouraged the kid to do it, encouraged the kid to
commit suicide again. I'm they got a lot more. I
gotta go over on the program today. I did a
podcast on it this past week. Google it, look it up.
It's frightening. Okay. I use AI as a tool for
(14:41):
certain things, but parents, please, please, you gotta check on
This is gonna look at kids phones and they can't
be establishing relationships with a chat bot.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
And this just happened before.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And it was another kid in Florida that it happened
to last year as well. Stay on top of this stuff.
Watch your kids, please. Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot com.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. We'll do cracker Barrel when
we get back.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Don't go with it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is the Watchdog on Wall Street.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
All right, Yeah, all interview requests to talk about cracker
Barrel this past week, and I declined it wasn't interested
in participating in this. We we did obviously talk about
it on the podcast, and I'm gonna talk about it
quickly here because again this stupid. Think about the amount
(16:03):
of time that was spent spent over the past week
on cracker barrel, with people on TV talking about cracker barrel,
people going on social media talking about cracker barrel that
have never stepped in a cracker barrel in their entire lives. Never.
(16:29):
This was I don't know who started it. It was like
that that was a Billie joelsone who didn't We didn't
start the fire. Somebody started this fire. Somebody did. And wow,
you watch and then you watch how the media fans
the flames. They're like, oh, look at this. We gotta
(16:50):
sell the story. We got to and then we can
get people on and we can get them to argue
over nothing, literally over nothing. Listen. Was the rebrand stupid? Yeah,
I mean, nothing wrong with your logo, there's nothing wrong
with your brand. You turned it into something that looks
(17:11):
like you pulled off a like some sort of brand
template on Microsoft Word or something like that was awful.
But you know, freshening up the stores whatever. Maybe you
know companies do that from time to time, and again
they had to make it like this big thing on woke.
(17:33):
This is not bud Light. Let me tell you why
it's not bud Light. Bud Light's doing well, was doing well.
Why would you rebrand? Why? Why would you do that?
Why would you do a transgender whatever? I don't know
that with Dylan's cut things off or not, I have
no idea. Okay, whatever, I don't know what you would
categorize he, she, whatever they is? I don't know. Okay,
(17:57):
you don't put someone like that on a beer can. Okay, dumb,
You don't know your customers. Dumb. And again, your brand
was doing well, but the funny things, Cracker Bill was
not doing well. The numbers were horrible. What were the
CEO terrible? They were gonna spend seven hundred million dollars
(18:19):
on a rebrand? You think you're going to be attracting
the youth with that menu that you have? No, No,
this is restaurants a lot of older people go to,
and quite frankly, after COVID, a lot of these people
didn't come back to the restaurant. They've got their issues.
(18:41):
They had to do something. Did they do it the
right way?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But is it just some big culture war issue? No,
it's not. You see you got duped into this cramp again.
They got you talking about dumb things, speaking of dumb things.
The Wall Street Journal, Wall Street Journal. I didn't realize
they do wedding announcements at the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I was a big deal. Back in the day we
actually got physical newspapers. It was like a societal thing.
If you could have your wedding announcement in the New
York Times, you had to be upper crust in the
city surrounding area in Connecticut, in an all shore of
Long Island to get your wedding announcement in the New
York Times. The Wall Street Journal does an entire story
(19:31):
on their front page about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey
The Wall Street Journal. At some time, people, you know,
we got to put the nonsense away, Okay, put the
nonsense away, the distractions away, and kind of focus on
(19:54):
actually fixing the things that are wrong here with this country.
I really you got call people posting everywhere about cracker
all these you you've got time in your day to
be doing this again. Seriously, come on, come on, anyway,
(20:15):
gotta take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com,
Watchdog on Wall Street dot com again is our site.
Become a part of our family, The Markowski Investments family,
personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, all sorts of great stuff.
Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com or give us a call
eight hundred four seven four.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Chris Markowski is the Watchdog on Wall Street, the only
(21:00):
man who is taking on the Wall Street establishments. You're
listening to the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Welcome back, everybody. Yeah, I'm gonna stir the pot again
right here. The Trump administration. Trump administration is considering limiting
people's Section eight housing vouchers to two years unless you
are elderly or disabled. And everyone all of a sudden
(21:32):
is like, yeah, that's a great idea. That's lost for me.
People staying their way too. I get that. I get that.
And again, no one has railed against, No one has
railed against the way we handle handouts and giveaways in
the welfare state harder than I have, harder than I have.
(21:53):
I have called it probably America's greatest drug problem. I
call it a drug problem. Well, the pathologies, the pathologies
that coincide with handouts and giveaways here in our country,
the things that go along with them are very similar
to drug abuse. Same types of things happen. We don't
(22:18):
judge our social welfare programs based upon who we're getting
off them and helping people out. And I'm all four
helping people. Social safety nets are fine. Something awful happens,
that's what you're supposed to do, help somebody get back
on their feet. But that's not what they do. I
don't think the politics of this is going to work
(22:40):
at all. They mentioned it again, they mentioned a lot.
I think they float a lot of trial balloons. I
think they know well and good that the mainstream media
will have cameras of oh, kids are getting thrown out
of houses and this is going to be terrible and
it's gonna be homeless, and they're not going to be wrong.
They're not going to be wrong with that is. Again,
(23:01):
people are gonna call me racist with this, but this
is not. This is doesn't make any difference what race,
white color, That makes an difference who you are. Okay,
you get somebody addicted to handouts and giveaways, that's all
they know, that's all they know. We have to find
a way to break the cycle. Have to find a
(23:25):
way to break the cycle. Again. I've written about this extensively.
Talk about you know, Lyndon Johnson being one of the
most consequential presidents in this country, says do you think
about his War on poverty? Nineteen sixty four State of
the Union Address, two hundred new laws, medicare, medicaid, federal
(23:46):
aid to public schools, bilingual education, Headstart, food stamps, urban
renewal programs, massive spending arts and humanities, enormous increase in immigration,
Section eight, public housing, aid for college students, and of
course NPR and PBS. And his address January eight, nineteen
(24:07):
sixty four. This administration here here now declares unconditional war
on poverty in America. We love our wars here in
the United States, don't we?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
We do?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
War on drugs, oh Korea, Vietnam, War on terror, war
on climate change, War on poverty? What does this cost us?
Thirty trillion dollars? I wrote about it. You know, this
was ten years ago. It was around twenty two Trillion's
(24:36):
got to be gotta be around thirty trillion at this
point in time. What have we got? Eighty means tested
welfare programs? Is the poverty rate any different today than
it wasn't? No now? And this has nothing to do
with race. There was a Bill mcgern article back in
twenty fifteen and interesting is LBJ LB Jay started his
(25:01):
campaign for the War on Poverty and know where that
took place? That took place in Appalachia a porch in Appalachia.
Johnson used the front porch of a shack in eastern
Kentucky's Martin County to launch his Great Society programs. That
county is at the time I wrote about this, ninety
two percent white Baltimore, two thirds black Martin County. Martin
(25:25):
County voted overwhelming for Romney back in the election when
it was Romney versus Obama, Baltimore overwhelmingly for Obama. Same situation.
Talks about Martin County today goes to a Lexington Herald
Leader is the newspaper in there area. Was a piece
by a guy by the name of John Cheeves. The
(25:47):
problem facing Appalachia isn't third world poverty. Its dependence on
government assistance. Just one example. When Congress imposed work requirements
in lifetime caps for welfare during the Clinton administration, claims
of disability jumped again. Can't get that. I gotta find
to get my hand out somewhere else, and he quotes
(26:08):
a grade school principal who says this of Martin County's children,
the's white kids. Instead of talking about a future of
work or a profession, they talk about getting a check.
It's an addiction, and we have to find some way
to break the cycle. Some of the things that we've
(26:30):
discussed here on the programs is identifying kids that are
in households like that, having a public school system that
runs almost like Hogwarts does, where they're being taught the
things that they're not being taught in their home. Find
a way to make it in their parents' best interest
to allow their kids to go to that private school.
Another one is, listen, you're getting Section eight housing. You
(26:52):
can't have any more kids.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What do you mean you're living off the taxpayer? This
is called an eye you do you can't have any
more children. I don't know what to tell you people.
How do you break the cycle? It is the same way.
And this is gonna sound harsh, but it doesn't make
any difference. Okay, make any difference. The reason why they
tell you not to feed the animals that Yellowstone, it's
(27:19):
still good. They're gonna make the animals dependent. You can't
do that, and that's what we've done with our welfare
programs here in this country. I wish I had the answer.
I really do, but we're not trying hard enough to
fix the problem. You're not helping anybody keeping them on
welfare their entire lives. It's a waste of a life.
(27:46):
Got to take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
You know, a lot of times you have to choose
between something high quality or something that saves you money.

Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.

You get both.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta Share.

they love being part of something they believe in. And

Exercise is hard, so as maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke feel nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
(30:38):
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
eat better, get moving, Visit check Upamerica dot org or

Diabetes Association.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You should believe in math, not magic. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Welcome back, ready, it is the Watchdog on Wall Street show.
So man, they made a administration made a big hullabaloo
in regards to arresting the Sandwich Guy. The Sandwich the
Subman the guy who threw the sub at the police officer.
They sent, well the guy again, I tried to turn
(31:54):
himself in. They wouldn't allow that because they had to
put on a show. So they sent twenty cops to
arrest the sub throwing guy. Oh, the sub throwing guy
got off. Yeah, the sub throwing guy got off again.
You know, they were actually talking about it on the five,
all this stuff and Lord order, we got Janine Piro,
(32:14):
there were going after the sub guy. Let me tell
you something, okay, And I'm gonna get a little heated
at this point time. Didn't vote for that. I voted.
I voted to go after pedophiles. How many Epstein Buddies
clients abusing children? How many of them been arrested so far? Zero? Zero?
(32:38):
What we were told about all of these people that
were laundering money through NGOs, how many have been arrested? Zero?
Anthony Fauci and the whole COVID crew, how many have
been arrested? Zero? Again, can you guys, you know, start
(33:03):
focusing on that again. You guys can't even get the
low lying fruit at this point in time. It's honestly,
it's embarrassing great. I mean, you guys are you know,
obviously you know, grounded up the criminals, the bad guys,
the illegals there that that's fine, Okay, go ahead, do that, Okay,
reducing crimes, and people seem to be happy in Washington,
(33:24):
d C. Reducing crimes. That's fine, Okay, that's great. But
I want I want these people too. You gotta you gotta,
you know, drain the swamp, get rid of the bad,
you know, go after not don't just go after those
criminal go after the big criminals in Washington, d C.
Anyway quickly on this. I I don't even know how
(33:46):
these companies make money anymore. I took a look at
the viewership declines and these major networks at this point
in time, wholely Schnikeys. They are in the the third
quarter twenty five year to date Disney down eleven percent,
(34:09):
Paramount Sky Dance down twenty two percent, Fox down twenty percent,
Warner Brothers down twenty six percent, Comcast which is NBC
and MSNBC forty nine percent to the downside. How do
you make money? I really don you know. The funny
(34:31):
thing is is that you know what I see Fox's
average viewer right now, the demographic is that was it
sixty nine years old?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Anyway, again, I'm trying to figure out where they're geting
money from Watchdog on Wall Street dot com. I guess
football's paying the bills. I would assume.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Street bringing America
(35:14):
financial freedom, one listener at a time. You're listening to
the Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Oh right, welcome back, Hidos. It is the Watchdog on
Wall Street show. Now, yeah, I got upset about the arrested.
But again, people post the phoneline. This is what I
voted for. No, this is what I voted for. Do this, okay.
Trump calls for rico charges against Soros over violent protest support.
(35:45):
The Gates Foundation abruptly severs ties with this Arabella Advisor's
I'm familiar with Arabella Advisors. It's like a dark money
machine for the radical left. And without a doubt, they
do the track with the phones. Most of these these
protests and rallies. You see the same people again and
again and again. He asked the question. I said, yeah,
how do these people afford to, you know, be here
(36:07):
and be out of work, and I don't do I
did one. That's not true. I did one one rally
and it wasn't a political route, was like anti political rally.
The original Tea Party event, regional Tea Party event. I
gave a speech the thousands of people down in southwest Florida.
(36:30):
At that point in time, the Tea Party wasn't taken
over by the Republicans. Republicans weren't even invited. They weren't
even invited. No politicians were allowed in the original Tea Party.
And that's basically funny. How I started off my speech,
I said, I'm not gonna come here and rail against Obama. Yeah,
this is years ago. I got a railwousand nine yet
(36:52):
Eightril fifteen, two thousand and I'm not going to rail
against Obama. Way, Obama's doing what he said he was
gonna do. I'm gonna rail against thus Republicans who say
that they're gonna do one thing and don't do it.
But anyway, Soros pays all these people to go to
these protests and do all this stuff, and Trump goes
after from Rico, I'll be quite happy, But do me
a favor. Stop teasing this man. Okay, Yeah, you're supposed
(37:16):
to go after Fauci. Didn't do that, Yeah, supposed to
Epstein not no nothing there. You know, stop telling us
you're gonna do something and don't do it. Yeah, actually
put Pam Bondi to work outside of the guy who
do the sandwich please? Was you just just asking a
favor anyway? Had this question, I'd to do a quick
podcast on it as well. I want to share this
(37:37):
with everybody as well. I am. I've got more social
media accounts now, Instagram, TikTok, and obviously got to put
short form stuff up there. I was again, I had
my interns interview me a few weeks ago here on
the program, which was a lot of fun. Well, yeah,
they said, Chris, you know you got to really start
trying to teach younger people and reach out to them,
(37:59):
and you know, you gotta go where you know the
people are, the young people are, and they're on those spots,
even though I don't like those spots. So yeah, I'm
posting short form little videos and teach things on those
spots as well. One of the things I don't do
I will not engage in ever ever. Yeah, I do
our podcast, but I also you know, post the podcast
(38:22):
on YouTube, we do videos of them. I don't get
into debates on social media. I don't get into conversations.
And people say, well, you got to do that, you
got to interact with people. I'm like, you do understand that.
I have to at least get six hours of sleep
at night, at least I don't have time for this.
(38:44):
Not to mention the fact most of the stuff that
have posted it's just inane garbage. It really is funny.
Doug cast post this past week. He said that it
has said that fifty four percent of Americans read at
a sixth grade level. Many of those fifty four percent
(39:06):
reside on Twitter, social media, other places, and they don't
have any problem at all opening their mouth and opining
on things they don't have a clue about. Now, want
to interact with me, Yeah, send me an email, Go
to my website, send me an email and have it
(39:29):
makes sense. Don't say nasty things or whatever it may be.
Make an argument and I'll respond to it. Okay, I
learned this, learn this very valuable life lesson. Okay, never
argue with idiots again. I've done a lot of radio
in my days, and I've hosted Drive Time programs in
(39:52):
the morning, three hour drive time in the morning, three
hour drive time in the evening. You get a lot
of local callers here and there. And I learned my lesson,
do not argue with idiots. They've got way too much
experience at being an idiot, and the conversation is never
going to rise above that level. So what's the point.
(40:16):
It's like banging your head against the wall and exercise
and futility. Anyway, anyway, not too happy about this. Again,
we were told I voted for I voted for getting
rid of all of these superfluous IRS agents. Remember Joe Biden,
(40:37):
Joe Biden eighty seven thousand, eighty seven thousand new hires
to the irs. Trump put a stop to that, until
he didn't. They've now reversed, reversed that decision, and they're
calling everybody back in, everyone that was fired, pushed out,
(41:00):
tired early, and again they're saying it's to advance the one,
big beautiful bill. How so, I mean, you said it,
But how does this advance the big beautiful bill? It does?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
It?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Does it? It's nonsensical? Quite frankly quickly on this story
as well. Again, I often talk about education here in
the United States, and one of the arguments by the
left all the time. It's just don't spend enough money.
Spend more money education, so we need to do and
the schools will be so much better. Wrong. Okay. Since
(41:41):
twenty thirteen, spending on public schools in the United States
is up by fifty six percent. Inflation is up by
thirty five percent. Okay, so again, growing educational spending public
schools greater than inflation. How is it that reading scores
are in the toilet and getting worse? How is it
(42:03):
that math scores are that much worse? Again, it's not
the money, Not the money it's gonna determine whether the
kids are doing well in the school. It's the parents.
Parents care, kids care, just that simple, not money. Watchdog
on Wall street dot Com. God bless everybody, have a
(42:24):
wonderful week.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
