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):
Epstein, Trump and Ockham's razor. Oh, we're not familiar with
Okham's razor.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It is UH.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Basically, it's a problem solving idea principle, and basically it
says that the simplest explanation is usually the best one.
It's a guideline. It's not a strict rule. UH encourages
choosing the explanation or solution with the fewest assumptions or entities. Okay,
(00:49):
why did I bring this up? Okay, First and foremost, Okay,
I hate this story. I hate the story with the
heat of a thousand white sons.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Why unless I'm able.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
To purdue produced like an actual video, and I don't
even think that will work.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
People have basically thrown down to gauntlet. They have put
a line in the sand, and no matter what this
one says, or that one says, or whatever is produced,
whatever it may be, it doesn't matter. They are sticking.
They are sticking with what they believe, and that's infantile.
(01:24):
I mean to watch, you know, the questions being thrown
at republic It was one Republican.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't I don't even want to look at that letter.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean, it's just it's kind of pathetic. Can we
agree on this? We'll start off with this. Let's see
if we can agree on something. All right, If if
Bill Clinton, if Bill Clinton abused girls on Epstein Island
(01:53):
or with Jeffrey Epstein at his house in Palm Beach,
on his airplane, whatever it may be, he should go
to prison.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Correct. I think we can agree in that right.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, if Donald Trump abused young girls in the same
manner at any of those locations with Epstein, he too
should go to prison.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Can we agree on that?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Because because if we can't agree on that, you might
as well, I mean, go watch something else. Yeah, go watch,
go watch some maga podcaster or something like that. We
have to agree that, you know what, we did it.
He did it. Now, I'm not saying that either of
(02:45):
them did. Put that aside. Before you get your underwear
in a bunch. Okay, so this this birthday book has
come out. I went through it. Oh yeah, they're not
showing everything. You got to look for it online. It's
(03:05):
pretty vile. Honestly, You watch this stuff if you're not
fully convinced, if you're not fully convinced that there's not
some sort of like demonic, you know, pedo thing going
on with elites here in this country, there's something wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I mean, it's I've never seen stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I mean, pictures of Epstein drawing with crayons, giving little
balloons and lollipops to young girls, and then I'm giving
him massages, people drawing this stuff to him in this
celebration of his birthday. Let me ask you a question,
have you ever ever hung out with a person like
(03:49):
that in your entire life? Would you want to even
be around someone like that? And they joke around like
it's no big deal. Again, it hard for me to
get my arms round again. I don't know if I
mentioned this before here on the program, they said it
(04:09):
was a bit of a conspiracy theory. But I saw
interviews with people that worked on the film Eyes Wide Shut,
Stanley Kubrick's last film.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Who he just so happened to die weeks before the
thing was released. They changed the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Other people work on the movie said it was about
peterphilia rings with the elites.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh but Hollywood, Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Couldn't have that out and they changed it anyway. Neither
here nor there, everyone out there. Okay, I want you
to think about everyone out there that is saying, oh
what Trump, they forged it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's not real. Letter's not real. Trump said, it's not real.
There's no anything about it. He doesn't draw, he doesn't
do it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
He's getting caught in a lot of bs and lies
and things that he's saying right now. And again I
would just she would just shut up. So that this
birthday book came out, what almost over thirty years ago,
so someone someone must have known. So some Democrat must
(05:15):
have known back then. Did they have a they have
a you know, nineteen eighties DeLorean flux capacitor to stick
that letter in there, knowing that Donald Trump was going
to be president twenty five thirty years down the road.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And they could go get him.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Does that make any sense? Or that the deep State
got a hold of the book and put those put
his letter in there just to frame him. Listen, I
believe and again this is what I don't understand. Okay,
(05:55):
this Trump's get really really fricking bad advice.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He really is.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There was that, There was that scene in the movie.
Is a Tom Clancy book they turned into a movie.
Oh geez, it'll come to me in a second. It'll
come to me a second. Well, anyway, the President of
the United States, the President of the United States. Oh clear,
in Present Danger.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That's the name of it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
President of the United States. It finds out, you know,
his best friend, his best friend was doing a lot
of business with the drug cartels, a lot of business
with the drug car tells, and his he was murdered,
His entire family was murdered, and all of his advisors
were telling him to distance yourself from this guy.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You need a distance stuff, you need to get away.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then Jack Ryan played by Harrison.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Ford's kind of an.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Actual boy scout as far as government is concerned. He
god of goes hmmm, and the President looks at him.
He's like, you got something to say, And he makes
this statement. He says, why why try to diffuse a
bomb that's already gone off?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
He said, do the opposite, He said, go out there.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They ask you if their friends say no, we were
best friends. They asked for how long said we were
life long friends.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
End of story.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Got nowhere to go, got nowhere to go. You know,
Trump could come out and said, yeah, yeah, I was
buddies with the guy. I knew him. We were in
the same circles. He was a rich guy. As a
rich guy, we knew all these same people. For crying
out loud, so they asked me to write. I wrote
a letter, Why are you denying this entire because it
(07:40):
sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It really does.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I find it hard to believe that you didn't do it.
Now again, you kicked him out of your club because
you didn't like his conduct. Okay, something something's involved with
this story that we don't know about. Again, have to
(08:04):
do with the CIA people throwing out Epstein being an
agent for the MASAD.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't know Trump. I don't believe Trump went after
a little girls. I don't believe that, do I believe
that he's made plenty of maybe maybe some poor choices,
and some of the people that he's hung out with
over the years. Yeah, it's happened. I mean, I can
totally see that. I get that might it be embarrassing
(08:36):
to him and maybe some of the other people. Yeah, yeah,
is he you know, trying to cover this up? The
Republican Party trying to cover this up. Again, I think
it's both parties quite frankly, and be honest with you again,
this is how Washington works. You're watching a television show, right,
You're watching a television show. You're you're seeing how all
(08:58):
the Democrats voted to release all of this information and
almost none of the Republicans did outside of the Thomas
Massey's and of the World, Nancy Mace whatnot. They know
what the outcome is going to be. It's not going
to go through. It's not going to go through. So
the Republicans are gonna have to take a hit on
(09:19):
this because you know, they're the party in power. Democrats,
you know, they know that the information is not going
to get hit, so they're their people are not going
to hit hit the Bill Clinton's of the world and
the others, the other left wingers that went to the
island as well. Okay, you to party what you're watching
some of this crap that goes on on TV. You
(09:40):
need to understand that that it's just a show. But
it's it's getting to the point where it's it's outright
and embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
This hoax.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's a hoax, the Epstein hoax. So you know, Kellen
Levett was asked about you said the Epstein documents are
a hoax. So what is the theory since these documents
came from the Epstein state, And she said, I didn't
say the documents are hoax. I said the entire narrative
(10:13):
surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now as a hoax, so that
it's being perpetrated by the Democrats to go after truck.
Come on, man, I mean it is sound absolutely ridiculous. Again,
(10:35):
you want to you want your skin to crawl, You
can go online. You can take a look at the
contents of this birthday book that they put out. And again,
we live, without a doubt, in a pretty depraved world.
