Chris Markowski is the watchdog Wall Street.
3
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.760
Do you want to answer exposing the lies and myths
4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.160
that the big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the
5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.239
government are pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.
6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.559
You can't handle the true proof.
7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.280

8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.159
financial world.
9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.679
Ladies and gentlemen, We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.159
but in political and economic reality.
11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.679
This is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.759
Already You're welcome back, everybody who's the watchdog on Wall
13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.479
Street Show.
14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.799
They did a couple of podcasts this past week on
15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:01.920
the Land of Confusion, Iran, the conflict there and again.
16
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.079
It really it's a song from Genesis, back from the
17
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.640
nineteen eighties.
18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.200
There it's the Land of Confusion.
19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.920
And I was thinking about to remember it was at
20
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.480
the beginning. They still have soap operas, they still exist.
21
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.359
I don't even know there was that one. Days of
22
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.400
our lives, like the sounds of the hour glass, these
23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.120
are the days of our lives as the Iran war
24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:35.079
turns again. When I do a podcast and I almost
25
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.920
know it going in. We kind of have to from
26
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.599
time to time, I have to do something, and stuff happening.
27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.200
The only thing that that's been that's been consistent with
28
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.599
my podcast reports and major announcements when it comes to
29
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.599
this war is that traders end up making a lot
30
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.840
of money. People that are in the know, they really
31
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.280
are knocking it out of the park. And if you notice,
32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.400
just like I told you, if you noticed, you know,
33
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.840
there was some conversation about, you know, a week week
34
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.760
and a half ago, there's some new news story, the
35
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.360
Wall Street Journal news story, you are gonna crack down
36
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.599
on these people making these trades. So we're gonna do
37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.120
all this, rah, Sure.
38
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.479
You are sure? You are?
39
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.159
Basically what they do is they tell you this is
40
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:22.680
gonna be happening again.
41
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.319
You know, this is gets right out of Raiders in
42
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.639
a Lost Ark, the end of Raiders in a Lost Ark.
43
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.639
Who'd got working on the arc? We got top men
44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.759
working on it right now? Who top men? Oh?
45
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.800
I know, you got all of these government watchdogs and
46
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.199
regulators are going to crack down on these well connected
47
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.759
rich people and traders that are connected to these politicians
48
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.759
that just so happen to know exactly what's gonna happen
49
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.400
and what the news release is gonna be, right, sure, yeah,
50
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:02.759
that that's gonna happen. Never anyway, that's been the one
51
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.680
thing that's that's been consistent is the movement in the markets,
52
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.080
oil markets, stock market trades being put in. But whatever report,
53
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.439
whatever podcasts that I filed that point time, reporting on
54
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.120
what we're being told, what we're being told the news
55
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.560
of the day, it expires like a glass of milk
56
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.719
sitting outside in a Florida heat in August.
57
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.120
Again, it's by.
58
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.080
The time I by the time it's posted it again,
59
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:33.599
it's all.
60
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.199
Well, no that's not true. No, no, that didn't happen.
61
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.560
Well, that's what we're dealing with at this point in time.
62
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.840
I do see and this is you know, it's amazing Jesus,
63
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.199
almost as if these these people are paid to go
64
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.319
out on TV and say a certain thing. I've actually
65
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.319
actually you've actually seen I've seen I don't know you,
66
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.159
but I've seen actual supposed military ex spurts going on
67
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.879
TV calling for calling for you know, troops on the
68
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.840
ground and an.
69
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.199
Invasion into Iran.
70
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.680
And she's I don't know, have you ever taken a
71
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.160
look at a map of the region.
72
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.879
Do it? I I suggest you take a look at
73
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.160
a map.
74
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.920
I know we haven't done geography geography class back in
75
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.759
the day. Where's all this staging gonna be. Is it
76
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.920
gonna be in Afghanistan? And I'm kind of pulled out
77
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.680
of there? Get you think Pakistan is gonna let us
78
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.800
do it? How about Iran's northern neighbor there, Turkmenistan. You
79
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.399
think they're gonna be allow us to all of a
80
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.160
sudden set up shop there, or Turkey or any of
81
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.319
these other places. You're gonna be thrilled to do that,
82
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.439
knowing that you whiz they're gonna come under drone fire.
83
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.839
No, no, we tack.
84
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.519
We're gonna We're gonna put it across at Saudi Arabia
85
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.560
or Oma and then cross the water there.
86
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.120
This is the This is the reality.
87
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.519
I don't know if you're aware of this, but the
88
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.360
actual weather in Iran, we're getting to the point in
89
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.800
time where it's southern Iran where we'd have to invade,
90
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.519
has been going to become one of the most inhospitable
91
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.639
places in the world.
92
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.480
I kid you not. If you don't believe me, look
93
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:23.759
it up.
94
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.839
Average daily temperatures of one hundred and twelve degrees with
95
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.319
over ninety percent humidity.
96
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.759
Do you have any idea the.
97
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:37.319
Logistics that would be involved with that type of operation
98
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.839
at this time of year. You got to think about
99
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.839
these soldiers again, one hundred and twelve degrees, ninety percent humidity,
100
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:53.480
carrying packs and equipment. Do you understand the the amount
101
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.120
of assets that we would have to bring, not to
102
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.399
mention the fact.
103
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.079
You're gonna you're gonna put, you're gonna take.
104
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.120
How are you gonna put those aircraft carriers right into
105
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:04.959
the strait.
106
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.680
Being a target there? We can't do that now.
107
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.720
Again, I find it fascinating that again you got all
108
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.360
again all these wizards are smart, they're in the news media.
109
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.079
Have you heard anybody actually even talk about this bring
110
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.720
this up at all? Gee, we might have a logistical
111
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.360
problem here. It might it might be really difficult for
112
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.560
us to put troops, like a massive invasion into this country.
113
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.680
It might be a difficult thing to do like any
114
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.560
other country. You think you think with World War two
115
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.839
in Germany and Japan, you uh, you know, do you
116
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.839
think they actually even considered invading the United States based
117
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.560
upon two oceans and what it would be involved to
118
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.879
do that. Every wonder why Switzerland never gets ever stand
119
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.079
on the mountains. It's it's basically a fortress that's you know,
120
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.680
disguised as a country. Not an easy thing to do.
121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.160
So again, nobody is talking about that. And every single
122
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.720
time you hear a Lindsey Graham or a Mark Levin
123
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.199
or one of these fools out there talking about this,
124
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.560
you got you have to you gotta just laugh at them.
125
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.079
They're just how utterly ignorant they are.
126
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.879
Yeah, can we continue doing bombing raids and bombing this
127
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.240
thatt and the next thing? And yes, they can continue
128
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:37.839
to go back in the other direction. I'm gonna be
129
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.839
very clear with this like I've been from the beginning.
130
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.639
There's no doubt in my mind.
131
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.079
And again, if people were actually honest, if I know,
132
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.680
if Republicans were not afraid of the president and the media, again,
133
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.519
they're all a bunch of cowards. They know this too.
134
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.319
They know that this was supposed to be. This was
135
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.959
designed to be a you know, a quick hitter. This
136
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.079
was designed to be a couple of weeks. We're going
137
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.759
to do a little shock in Awe and Iran was
138
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.720
going to concede, and you know, we were going to
139
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.560
look like this is great, another Venezuela type of situation, and.
140
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:19.720
It didn't turn out that way.
141
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.959
And like I've been saying now for a couple of months,
142
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.720
I said, we need to find an off ramp as
143
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.480
soon as possible.
144
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:32.080
Now.
145
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.519
Basically, the climate, the political climate here in this country,
146
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.320
the president can do. I don't understand why he doesn't
147
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:45.759
because again, his faithful, the mag of faithful, that the
148
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.279
ones that there's certain ones out there that he could
149
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.159
do whatever he wants.
150
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.639
And Trump even said the years ago, I could shoot
151
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.840
somebody on Fitthab but nobody would care. That's basically true.
152
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.399
He could come out and he could say, we won
153
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.919
this thing bigly, hugely, you know, biggest, greatest victory in
154
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.879
the history of the United States of America.
155
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.720
There hasn't been a bigger victory ever.
156
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.440
And all of his people that they pay the people
157
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.919
again with no backbone, will They'll repeat the thing again
158
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.759
and again and again all over social media. Fox will
159
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.519
cover it. They'll have some parade somewhere.
160
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.600
He can maybe you know, make us you.
161
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.840
Know, statutunes of whatever it may be, whatever's gonna make
162
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:23.320
him happy.
163
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.039
I don't care.
164
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:31.279
I just I want this to end. I want energy
165
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.320
to start flowing freely again. I want fertilizer to flow again.
166
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:43.840
I want prices to come down at some point in time.
167
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.039
We've got to come to that realization. Okay, threatening like
168
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.440
he did at the cabinet meeting this past week again
169
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.759
to bomb Oman, why would you? Why would you get
170
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.600
a vombit? We're gonna bombit on the country. They don't
171
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.360
do We told we're gonna bomb them too.
172
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:02.759
What.
173
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.759
Yeah, I don't know if you remember it was it
174
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.399
was a commercial break or something like that. Ronald Reagan
175
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.320
was you know, he was make cracking a joke. He's like,
176
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.279
oh yeah, the bombing's going to commence in a couple
177
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.679
of minutes. And everyone had a oh my god. I
178
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.960
could say, somebody, this guy sit it. Why being interviewed
179
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.639
at a cabinet meeting being filmed? It wasn't a joke.
180
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.399
Well maybe maybe to him it is. I don't know,
181
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.080
I don't know, but you know, we've delved into that
182
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.080
area where, you know, saying things where people were like,
183
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.600
I guess nobody actually believes what he's gonna say. You
184
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.639
wanna we're gonna bomb Oman? And you know, I know,
185
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.679
like I said, you know, Oh, can't land I Ran
186
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.279
have a new can't I have I Ran? We were
187
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.159
told that if we didn't do what we did, I
188
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.519
Ran would have nuked Israel?
189
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.720
Are you kidding me? Do you know how many nukes
190
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:02.279
Israel has? For crime? Out loud? This idea? Oh, it's
191
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.399
a suicidal cult over there. No, it's not.
192
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.240
Again against certain people. I guess it makes them feel
193
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.480
good to believe the bs. But again I would suggest
194
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.200
I'm gonna let you do your homework. Everybody's played that
195
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.080
game or risk when you were a kid. Go go online,
196
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.799
take a look at a map of Asia, and then
197
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.320
understand the conditions. One hundred and twelve average temperature, one
198
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.360
hundred and twelve degrees, ninety percent humidity.
199
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.120
You've got to get water to them, You've gotta get food.
200
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.639
I mean, all of this stuff.
201
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.679
Speak to anybody that actually bend you know, specially any
202
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.080
of these people. But these types of conditions and what
203
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.320
would be involved. Well, sure you can drop some special
204
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.720
forces in in an in and out, But you think
205
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.679
you're gonna change a regime there? You think it got
206
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.639
to take over the country in that manner, no way, shape,
207
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:05.000
matter or form. Again, who knows who knows. You know,
208
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.519
I could be done with this segment and maybe we'll
209
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.480
take that off ramp.
210
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.639
I don't know. But what I do not want to see.
211
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.320
What I do not want to see is a massive
212
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.240
spike in oil. I do not want to see food
213
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.279
prices go through the roof. You don't want to see
214
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.559
the world suffer. Okay, nobody getting on board is going
215
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.919
to help us. We cannot put our ships in the
216
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:32.879
strait of hormones.
217
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.279
Can't do it.
218
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.120
And I'll again, we'll take a break right here, and
219
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.639
actually I want to get into that. We're going to
220
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.360
talk a little bit about our military, since I've talked
221
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.679
about here on the program, and these things are important.
222
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.639
How our tax dollars are being spent, in case you
223
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.519
haven't heard, again, not being reported anywhere. Yeah, the Pentagon
224
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.000
failed another audit. That's right, we failed another was like
225
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.279
seven eight in a row failed audits by the pen Again,
226
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.720
talk a little bit about that. We get back Watchdog
227
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519
on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com.
228
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:25.159
We shall return, taking Wall Streets liars, crooks and cheets
229
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.600
out behind the woodshed.
230
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.799
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
231
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.639
And this is the Watchdog on Wall Street should have
232
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.679
basically Watchdog on America show.
233
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.080
Again, we don't pick sides. I'm an equal opportunity basher.
234
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:51.159
I care about this country. I hate seeing us making
235
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.240
the same mistakes again and again and again. And you know,
236
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.919
many people out there, many people out there voted for
237
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.480
Donald Trump because said we're pulling away from this, We're
238
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.279
not going to be involved in all of these wars anymore.
239
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.360
And I made a point last segment, you didn't really
240
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:15.440
think about our country and just how lucky we are,
241
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:23.360
and just just geographically two oceans, Canada to the north,
242
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:30.559
Mexico to the south. And for crying out loud, I mean,
243
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.320
you know we have We're set up pretty well as
244
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:40.279
far as defense is concerned. And I know the threat
245
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.720
of nukes in North Korea has nukes, and there's always
246
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.879
that whole you know, mutually assured destruction. But again, what
247
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:54.039
was the biggest attack on America, bigges attack on America
248
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.360
outside of you know, Pearl Harbor Wars again, Hawaii in
249
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:03.879
the middle of the Pacific was done with box cutters
250
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.960
and airplanes on nine to eleven.
251
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.000
That again.
252
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.080
Should have stopped that you know anything about it. That
253
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.279
should have been stopped. We screwed up. We got these
254
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.879
guys down here in Venice, Florida. They just want to
255
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.320
learn how to fly the plane. They don't want they
256
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.000
don't want to learn how to land the plane. Holy
257
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:29.559
red flag Batman. But anyway, put that aside. Our Pentagon
258
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:34.799
has failed failed a financial audit for the eighth year
259
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.399
in a row. We spend a trillion dollars eight trillion
260
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.720
dollars a year plus on our military. We're now spending
261
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.279
one point three trillion dollars on interest on our national debt.
262
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.960
We are now thirty nine trillion dollars plus in debt.
263
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.559
We we bombed.
264
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.480
Iran, didn't we We bombed them, hit a bunch of
265
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.840
sites again, took out all these things. But again, all
266
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.879
of their airports reopened this week. All their airports reopened
267
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.960
this week. They still have their capabilities.
268
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.519
Again. The terrain there is very difficult.
269
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.720
We can hide things, mountains, caves, whatever it may be.
270
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.000
And I don't know if you've ever taken a look
271
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.960
at what they spend on their military compared to us,
272
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.039
it's basically you want to make an affair comparison, to
273
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.440
be kind of like maybe a I don't know, Little
274
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.240
League or Babe Ruth team against the New York Yankees.
275
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.480
There's no comparison. We spend more than the next nine
276
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:48.000
countries below us combined, most of which you know outside
277
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:54.679
of you know, China and Russia are allies. So make
278
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:59.279
it make sense to me on why you know? Again,
279
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.000
to me, it's it's an insult. It's an insult. And
280
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.000
you got Republicans going along with, oh yeah, we gotta
281
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.680
have this Wall Street, Joe, you gotta have this, gotta
282
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.279
spend one point five trillion dollars. They want to go
283
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.160
to one point five trillion dollars as far as our
284
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.559
military is concerned.
285
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:20.079
How dare you? How dare you ask us for that?
286
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.799
It's as much as when the leftists ask for for
287
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.720
more tax dollars, for more social spending. What all the
288
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.920
bloody waste that we have everywhere? You have you the
289
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.000
nerve to even ask us for more taxes? When we
290
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.160
see all of the fraud in all the ways.
291
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.839
Why don't you eliminate that first?
292
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.680
See what you need to understand, people, and what I've
293
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:47.119
been explaining for some time here is people, we're not
294
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.799
doing this the right way. We're not in today's day
295
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.119
and age. You want to make a pretty good you know,
296
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.759
comparison to what's going on right now. And what we
297
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.160
have I've learned from this, okay, is that we can't
298
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.119
defend well, first of all, we can't defend Taiwan. That's
299
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.920
out that there's no way we can defend Taiwan. It's
300
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:20.200
a reality, okay, it's a reality of war today. We
301
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.200
have all these big oh we got these aircraft carriers,
302
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.279
all this sudden and they want to build more of
303
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:34.240
this stuff. Why we cannot operate closer than a thousand
304
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.720
kilometers to Iran? That's how far at least that's how
305
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.359
far we have to be awagh, And they're not either.
306
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.440
A second rate military power.
307
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.680
Why because again we can't afford to lose those assets
308
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:54.480
and they can take them out with drones. How in
309
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.119
the world are we going to be able to defend
310
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.240
Taiwan when China's got hyper sonic missiles.
311
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.559
This is the reality. And yet you get people the
312
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.200
military it's just China and we gotta defend get the
313
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.039
hell out of here.
314
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.519
You know, sometimes, you know, you need to understand that,
315
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.039
you know, the technology changes, we still haven't figured that
316
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:24.680
out yet, you know, you know, cavalry. Cavalry charges they
317
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:28.720
were kind of rendered, I don't know, obsolete.
318
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.880
In World War One.
319
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:38.400
With trench warfare and artillery and machine guns, it kind
320
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.559
of rendered that obsolete, didn't They've seen the movies, you know.
321
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.839
It was a Kirk Douglas movie, Pads of Glory, sending
322
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:51.319
you again running toward a trench charge or gip Gallipoli.
323
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.079
Mel Gibson one of his earlies. I think it was
324
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:59.079
probably his first movie. It's done.
325
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:08.200
We don't need these assets anymore. The problem, you know,
326
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:09.839
you know, we're gonna have to get to a break.
327
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.319
I'm gonna tell you what the problem is, why this
328
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.559
is screwed up, okay, and why we spend so much money,
329
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.039
and again we can't figure it out.
330
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.799
We can we can't claim the strait of our moves.
331
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.200
We can't do it. Don't go anywhere. Gotta take a break.

He said, the only man who has taken on the
339
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.440
Wall Street establishments. You're listening to The Watchdog and Wall
340
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.799
Street with Chris Markowski.
341
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.720
It's gonna be and there's another jagged little pill, And yeah,
342
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.039
I love the people disagree with this, ye know, I know,
343
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.079
I don't know why.
344
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.119
The current administration we're.
345
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.000
Gonna spend all we're gonna buy all these new destroyers,
346
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:31.920
we're gonna build all these new ships. Why they're floating targets.
347
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.920
I mean, if you said submarines, I'd like, yeah, okay,
348
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.319
that makes sense. There's submarines make a hell of a
349
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.519
lot of sense. But we have by far, there's no compared,
350
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:50.400
there's no the greatest, the greatest, as far as expensive
351
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.319
and most advanced navy in the entire world. And guess what,
352
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.359
guess what what are we gonna do? We gotta we're
353
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:00.759
gonna lose.
354
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.119
We're gonna risk losing one of those aircraft carriers in
355
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.599
the street.
356
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.640
They're gonna be able to, you know, fight off against
357
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:20.480
China hypersonic missiles. Our system again, it's our corrupt. It
358
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:27.480
is our military industrial complex is a scam. Okay, Eisenhower
359
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.359
was so right on this. It is it has been
360
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:37.000
scamming us, stealing our money. Okay, it's not about military capability.
361
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.440
I don't care what Pete Haggseeth is telling you.
362
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.000
You know what, we produce.
363
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:52.039
Contracts, long term contracts. Anthony Scamouch, you put out a
364
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.000
bit this past week, and spot on, I'm gonna quote
365
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.880
him directly. Actually, the five largest defense contractors in this
366
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.359
country employ.
367
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:09.880
One thousand, roughly one thousand lobbyists.
368
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.720
In Washington, DC. Think about that for a second. One
369
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:22.079
thousand lobbyists. That is almost two for every member of Congress,
370
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:31.680
not quite a thousand lobbyists. You ever wonder why again,
371
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.440
these defense conrectors are smart. I remember my my, you know,
372
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.640
little town there and uh, you know I used to
373
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.359
live on Long Island.
374
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.880
Live there on Long Island.
375
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.960
Have a defense contractor in our town? Oh you know
376
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.440
I was out there by University of Central Florida. Oh gee,
377
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.720
look at that, there's a Luckheed Martin. They're everywhere. They
378
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.440
distribute all of their suppliers, and they have offices in
379
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.039
buildings that you know how many states forty five states?
380
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.119
Five defense contractors are spread out. They spread out their
381
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.920
supply chains over forty five states. Why do you think
382
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.799
that is, think about a contemplate and reflect. It's deliberate, man.
383
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.920
Deliberate.
384
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.960
There're no senator out there that's going to vote to
385
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.200
cancel a program without firing his own constituents.
386
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.839
We did a whole thing on this, on all of these.
387
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.039
Airplanes that we maintain, I forget the name of them,
388
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.079
for crying out out in the Arizona deserts.
389
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.839
We maintain them.
390
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.119
It's just a money pit because nobody wants to cancel
391
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:40.880
it because there's going to be job losses right there.
392
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:47.839
That is our military industrial complex.
393
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.359
We have to change direct you think about the technology
394
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.359
that we have at our favor, what we could do.
395
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.920
Think a look at what Ukraine has been able to
396
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:07.519
do with drones against Russia. Look at how long they
397
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.440
have held out and what they were capable of doing.
398
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.680
And again they volunteered.
399
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.839
They said, hey, well we'll you know, we'll start to
400
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.640
selling you these drones too, because the Russians are buying
401
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:25.839
the Russians are buying the Iranian drones. We're using multi
402
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.119
million dollar missiles to shoot down drones. The Ukrainians are
403
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.559
using drones to knock down drones at a much better price.
404
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:38.440
Who's doing it? The right way. We well, we are.
405
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:44.759
Our own worst enemy. And again this is it's plain
406
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.759
and simple. This is about money and lots of it,
407
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:51.599
lots of it.
408
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.240
Yeah.
409
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.839
I said this on the podcast this past week. Listen,
410
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:01.880
we're the New York as far as military is concerned.
411
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:07.079
At this point in time. You are, Bill Parcells. I
412
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.440
did a lot of sports stuff there. You are what
413
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.079
your record says you are. Okay, Yeah, the New York
414
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.319
men's the most expensive payroll in baseball. I mean, we
415
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.440
had the most expensive military in the entire world. We
416
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:27.759
are going head to head with a second tier military
417
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:36.000
and we, believe it not, they're holding their own Again,
418
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.960
we talked about this here on the program. This was
419
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:44.039
during the Biden administration as well. I've pointed this out here.
420
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:49.480
I look what the Hoothys were capable of doing. You
421
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.480
remember that, shutting down traffic, supply chain issues, all of
422
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.880
this stuff. The Houthy's a rebel group in Yemen.
423
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.400
At some point in time, we're gonna have to to
424
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:07.960
rethink this. We really are.
425
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.799
But again, there's just there's so much money at stake
426
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.720
at this point in time. I don't I don't see
427
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:20.359
it happening. It's unfortunate. But I don't but one point
428
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:22.599
five at one point, we're gonna go from one trillion
429
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.799
to one point five trillion. Come on, man, come on,
430
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.759

Bringing America financial freedom one listener at a time. You're
437
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.839
listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski's
438
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.160
the Nick.
439
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.359
Oh it was a bit in that movie Derek Zoolander,
440
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.039
The School for Kids Don't Read good.
441
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.680
Woh yeah, graduation time. This was interesting.
442
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:35.119
Professors at the University of California STEM professors science, technology, math,
443
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:40.200
you know all that good stuff they are begging. They're
444
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.799
begging administrators right now. Please please, mister administrator, please bring
445
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:50.200
back standardized tests to decide who gets into the school.
446
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:59.480
Our kids can't add sub tracked severe math deficiencies. This
447
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.200
is what they're saying. We now.
448
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:08.839
Observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle
449
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:19.240
school mathematics. Listen, I understand colleges and universities and their
450
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.839
their business and they have to put butts in the seats.
451
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.640
But we're doing it wrong. We really are. We are
452
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.039
doing it wrong here in this country.
453
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.440
If you're not ready to go to college, if you're
454
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.160
not prepared to go to college, you shouldn't be able
455
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.440
to go to college. I mean, you're making it more
456
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.920
difficult for the entire class that was seeing this as
457
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.359
some of the other schools too. And these are some
458
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.160
of the IVY were medial math media.
459
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:51.240
For an IVY League school.
460
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.079
At these numbers, people, and again to me, you know
461
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.960
it's a bigger this is a bigger national security concern.
462
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.440
I'm gonna give you two greater national concert concerns than
463
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.720
I ran. I gave you our national debt. I'll give
464
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.200
you another one.
465
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.680
Education. Here in this country, reading scores dropped and eighty.
466
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.480
Three percent of US school districts from twenty fifteen to
467
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:15.799
twenty twenty five.
468
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:17.200
Eighty three percent ten years.
469
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:24.480
Math dropped seventy percent in one of every three school districts.
470
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:28.720
Kids now read a full grade level behind where they
471
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:32.000
were a decade ago. The bottom decile student has lost
472
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.839
two full grade equivalents. The losses look the same across
473
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.880
socioeconomic profiles, races, and urban versus rural areas. From nineteen
474
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:51.039
ninety to twenty thirteen, scores climbed for twenty three years
475
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.759
the average fourth grader and twenty thirteen could do the
476
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.400
math of an average sixth grader in nineteen ninety. Now
477
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:03.799
we've gone in reverse again. What is a bigger concern
478
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:10.240
for the United States of America? Iran or our national
479
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:13.240
debt and education in America?
480
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:18.400
Today? You're gonna put a nuke in Manhattan? Yeah?
481
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:24.119
Okay, sure again, if you're gonna again, what am I
482
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:26.079
gonna do you think that that's gonna happen?
483
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.200
Okay? Fine?
484
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:31.000
You know Trump was right about shooting somebody on Fifth
485
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.839
Avenue and heaven and get away with it.

490
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:44.720
We'll be back.
491
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.039
Taking Wall Streets liars, crooks and cheats out behind the woodshed.
492
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.200
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
493
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:15.680
I don't you know.
494
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.400
I don't watch cables much news at all. Maybe you
495
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.400
know a little bit here and there and see clips
496
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.079
here and there. I most certainly you know, then they parade, oh,
497
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.880
coming up Brooks, we got to this politician.
498
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.519
We've got that. I don't watch any of that because
499
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:30.599
I just assume.
500
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.200
I assume whether it's a Democrat or Republican, I'm just
501
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.519
going to be given talking points and lies.
502
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:41.000
And that's that's pretty much the case.
503
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.680
And you know what's pathetic and sad is that you
504
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.680
know these people that are on that are hosting these programs.
505
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.079
I know, think why they get paid so much money.
506
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.759
I guess is so you know they're paying me so
507
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.680
much money, I'll just go along with it. I won't
508
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:57.359
use my brain at all. A case of point, there
509
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.960
was one this past week where they were talking about
510
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.359
out how Venezuela is going to pay the Venezuelan oil
511
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:09.400
would take is going to pay for the Iran war
512
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.920
twenty five times over.
513
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:17.799
And there was no pushback. I think the President said
514
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:19.079
it first, and then he had some of his.
515
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.880
Talking heads saying the exact same thing, saying the exact
516
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.799
same thing, And I'm like, do you people have a calculator?
517
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:32.559
Do you understand how ridiculous. That statement is that's for
518
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.519
argument's sake.
519
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.640
Ok we'll play. We'll do play with math. Math is power.
520
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.680
Let's just say, and it's going to be more expensive this.
521
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:45.000
We'll say the war cost fifty billion dollars. Okay, we'll
522
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:46.920
just go with that. It's gonna be more than that.
523
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.519
Twenty five times fifty billion is one two hundred and
524
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:57.160
fifty billion. So that means Venezuela would need to produce
525
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:04.519
twelve point five billion barrels of oil twelve point five
526
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.799
billion barrels of oil for that to pay for the
527
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:11.760
Iran war twenty five times or the daily oil production
528
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.679
in Venezuela is one point one million barrels, so we'll.
529
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.440
Just up it to two million barrels. So that's six
530
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:20.480
two hundred and.
531
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:24.239
Fifty days worth of oil, or about seventeen years worth
532
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:24.880
of production.
533
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:30.679
Does anyone believe this? Yeah, people actually believe that.
534
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.480
They'll say this and they will actually believe it, meaning
535
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:37.159
that we are gonna steal every bit of Venezuelan oil
536
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.159
and it's gonna pay for it. I mean, I don't
537
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.119
know what they're gonna live on down there in Venezuela.
538
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.639
Who I couldn't tell you for the next seventeen years.
539
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.480
Again, the whole I play it. You can't handle the truth,
540
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.960
Colonel Jessep. People can't. They don't.
541
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.519
It makes them uncomfortable. Here was another one I had
542
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.800
to point out as well. And I again, I how
543
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.519
in the world is Greenland back in the equation?
544
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.559
Again? And all of fox again. I know again they're
545
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:07.679
floating things to try.
546
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:13.719
To distract people. You got the governor of Louisiana. Governor Louisiana,
547
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.119
is this envoy to Greenland.
548
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.079
And he just got back.
549
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.239
He just got back, and he's telling everybody ground there
550
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:23.639
Greenland needs to make a deal.
551
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:26.119
If I hear that work deal again, I'm got to
552
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:27.119
throw up in my mouth.
553
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.920
Greenland, it could be exporting two million barrels of oil
554
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.559
a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure
555
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.039
that would relieve in a strait of horror moves, What
556
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.760
kind of leverage that would give America.
557
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.480
It's time for the Danes to come to the table.
558
00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:44.280
Gotta make a deal, dude.
559
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:52.079
Again, the ignorance, it knows no bounds. No, they couldn't
560
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:58.280
be producing two million barrels of oil a day. There
561
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.360
is no oil company that's gonna go up there and
562
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:06.039
retrieve that oil. Because the cost of retrieving that oil
563
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:10.559
is astronomical. They don't have the infrastructure there in the
564
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.000
country to go ahead and do that. We've gone over
565
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.000
this here on the programs because if they couldn't and
566
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.480
it made sense, they would have done it already.
567
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.000
You don't think that these oil companies are profit driven?
568
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:27.960
I mean you ever watched it.
569
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.039
I mean, bloody Billy Bob Thornton in the show Landman
570
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.440
for Crying out Loud explains very succinically and how yeah,
571
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.360
you know what, you have to obviously be selling oil
572
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:45.480
above your extraction costs. You can't extract oil from Greenland
573
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:47.320
at a one hundred and twenty and one hundred and
574
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.480
fifty dollars a barrel, not to mention the fact who's
575
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:55.079
gonna make that investment knowing that eventually the straight of
576
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:57.480
Armus is gonna open up and a barrel of oil
577
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.480
is gonna come down and then they're gonna lose money
578
00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.679
on that.
579
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.480
Yes, dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb. But they parade these.
580
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:11.280
People on TV and it's again it insults my intelligence. Hey, Landry,
581
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.480
stay in your state of Louisiana. Okay, I see the
582
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:18.639
rankings of various different things, education and your state. Why
583
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:23.360
don't you work on Louisiana? Man, Okay, leave Greenland alone.
584
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:29.920
I learned a word this week and again both sides,
585
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.280
both sides.
586
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:32.760
Uh.
587
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:42.400
The word is cacistocracy, cacustocracy. And again I think kakistos.
588
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.679
Is uh the worst. I think that means worst in Greek.
589
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.440
I'll have to ask my mother in law after the show.
590
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:53.800
Cacustocracy a state or country run by the worst, least qualified,
591
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.000
our most unscrupulous citizens.
592
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.519
Does that at all sound familiar to you? It does
593
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.199
to me? And again, people listen to this show, Trump
594
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:07.800
drained from them.
595
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.400
No, I don't have trunch. I voted for the guy
596
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:16.639
three times. And if you listen to this programs, I
597
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:17.760
would you know he won?
598
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.199
I would.
599
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:24.400
We were fired up and thrilled prior to Liberation Day. Oh,
600
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.960
by the way, you know we're refunding all those tariffs
601
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.199
now all that money. Yeah, you're you're not getting your
602
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:32.800
tariff check. Okay, tariffs are going back.
603
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.920
It is what it is. We got to cut checks again.
604
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:36.480
I was.
605
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:39.719
We were thrilled about all the pre We were thrilled
606
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:43.119
about doge and cutting government spending and getting rid of
607
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.639
regulation and all of those things.
608
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.199
If we I'm just again, it aggravates me.
609
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.400
It's kind of like that wasted talent thing, you know,
610
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.760
it's kind of wasting what we what could have been.
611
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:55.679
I go back and think, man, if we had just
612
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:58.320
followed through and just focused on a laser beam on
613
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.400
those things. Okay, what type of economic growth we could
614
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.440
be having, because meanwhile GDP growth, GDP growth got revised
615
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:11.639
downward to one point four percent. Meanwhile Kevin Hassett says
616
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.880
it's gonna be six. Okay, man, whatever, God bless everybody.
617
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.280
Have a wonderful week. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog
618

We'll see it.
1
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:12.119
Well, no one altered. Investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, trainer.
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:15.560
Chris Markowski is the watchdog Wall Street.
3
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.760
Do you want to answer exposing the lies and myths
4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.160
that the big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the
5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.239
government are pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.
6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.559
You can't handle the true proof.
7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.280
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.159
financial world.
9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.679
Ladies and gentlemen, We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.159
but in political and economic reality.
11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.679
This is the watchdog on Wall Streets.
12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.759
Already You're welcome back, everybody who's the watchdog on Wall
13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.479
Street Show.
14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.799
They did a couple of podcasts this past week on
15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:01.920
the Land of Confusion, Iran, the conflict there and again.
16
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.079
It really it's a song from Genesis, back from the
17
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.640
nineteen eighties.
18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.200
There it's the Land of Confusion.
19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.920
And I was thinking about to remember it was at
20
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.480
the beginning. They still have soap operas, they still exist.
21
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.359
I don't even know there was that one. Days of
22
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.400
our lives, like the sounds of the hour glass, these
23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.120
are the days of our lives as the Iran war
24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:35.079
turns again. When I do a podcast and I almost
25
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.920
know it going in. We kind of have to from
26
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.599
time to time, I have to do something, and stuff happening.
27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.200
The only thing that that's been that's been consistent with
28
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.599
my podcast reports and major announcements when it comes to
29
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.599
this war is that traders end up making a lot
30
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.840
of money. People that are in the know, they really
31
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.280
are knocking it out of the park. And if you notice,
32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.400
just like I told you, if you noticed, you know,
33
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.840
there was some conversation about, you know, a week week
34
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.760
and a half ago, there's some new news story, the
35
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.360
Wall Street Journal news story, you are gonna crack down
36
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.599
on these people making these trades. So we're gonna do
37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.120
all this, rah, Sure.
38
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.479
You are sure? You are?
39
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.159
Basically what they do is they tell you this is
40
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:22.680
gonna be happening again.
41
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.319
You know, this is gets right out of Raiders in
42
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.639
a Lost Ark, the end of Raiders in a Lost Ark.
43
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.639
Who'd got working on the arc? We got top men
44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.759
working on it right now? Who top men? Oh?
45
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.800
I know, you got all of these government watchdogs and
46
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.199
regulators are going to crack down on these well connected
47
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.759
rich people and traders that are connected to these politicians
48
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.759
that just so happen to know exactly what's gonna happen
49
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.400
and what the news release is gonna be, right, sure, yeah,
50
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:02.759
that that's gonna happen. Never anyway, that's been the one
51
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.680
thing that's that's been consistent is the movement in the markets,
52
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.080
oil markets, stock market trades being put in. But whatever report,
53
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.439
whatever podcasts that I filed that point time, reporting on
54
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.120
what we're being told, what we're being told the news
55
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.560
of the day, it expires like a glass of milk
56
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.719
sitting outside in a Florida heat in August.
57
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.120
Again, it's by.
58
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.080
The time I by the time it's posted it again,
59
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:33.599
it's all.
60
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.199
Well, no that's not true. No, no, that didn't happen.
61
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.560
Well, that's what we're dealing with at this point in time.
62
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.840
I do see and this is you know, it's amazing Jesus,
63
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.199
almost as if these these people are paid to go
64
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.319
out on TV and say a certain thing. I've actually
65
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.319
actually you've actually seen I've seen I don't know you,
66
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.159
but I've seen actual supposed military ex spurts going on
67
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.879
TV calling for calling for you know, troops on the
68
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.840
ground and an.
69
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.199
Invasion into Iran.
70
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.680
And she's I don't know, have you ever taken a
71
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.160
look at a map of the region.
72
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.879
Do it? I I suggest you take a look at
73
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.160
a map.
74
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.920
I know we haven't done geography geography class back in
75
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.759
the day. Where's all this staging gonna be. Is it
76
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.920
gonna be in Afghanistan? And I'm kind of pulled out
77
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.680
of there? Get you think Pakistan is gonna let us
78
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.800
do it? How about Iran's northern neighbor there, Turkmenistan. You
79
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.399
think they're gonna be allow us to all of a
80
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.160
sudden set up shop there, or Turkey or any of
81
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.319
these other places. You're gonna be thrilled to do that,
82
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.439
knowing that you whiz they're gonna come under drone fire.
83
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.839
No, no, we tack.
84
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.519
We're gonna We're gonna put it across at Saudi Arabia
85
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.560
or Oma and then cross the water there.
86
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.120
This is the This is the reality.
87
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.519
I don't know if you're aware of this, but the
88
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.360
actual weather in Iran, we're getting to the point in
89
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.800
time where it's southern Iran where we'd have to invade,
90
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.519
has been going to become one of the most inhospitable
91
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.639
places in the world.
92
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.480
I kid you not. If you don't believe me, look
93
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:23.759
it up.
94
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.839
Average daily temperatures of one hundred and twelve degrees with
95
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.319
over ninety percent humidity.
96
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.759
Do you have any idea the.
97
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:37.319
Logistics that would be involved with that type of operation
98
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.839
at this time of year. You got to think about
99
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.839
these soldiers again, one hundred and twelve degrees, ninety percent humidity,
100
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:53.480
carrying packs and equipment. Do you understand the the amount
101
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.120
of assets that we would have to bring, not to
102
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.399
mention the fact.
103
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.079
You're gonna you're gonna put, you're gonna take.
104
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.120
How are you gonna put those aircraft carriers right into
105
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:04.959
the strait.
106
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.680
Being a target there? We can't do that now.
107
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.720
Again, I find it fascinating that again you got all
108
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.360
again all these wizards are smart, they're in the news media.
109
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.079
Have you heard anybody actually even talk about this bring
110
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.720
this up at all? Gee, we might have a logistical
111
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.360
problem here. It might it might be really difficult for
112
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.560
us to put troops, like a massive invasion into this country.
113
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.680
It might be a difficult thing to do like any
114
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.560
other country. You think you think with World War two
115
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.839
in Germany and Japan, you uh, you know, do you
116
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.839
think they actually even considered invading the United States based
117
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.560
upon two oceans and what it would be involved to
118
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.879
do that. Every wonder why Switzerland never gets ever stand
119
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.079
on the mountains. It's it's basically a fortress that's you know,
120
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.680
disguised as a country. Not an easy thing to do.
121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.160
So again, nobody is talking about that. And every single
122
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.720
time you hear a Lindsey Graham or a Mark Levin
123
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.199
or one of these fools out there talking about this,
124
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.560
you got you have to you gotta just laugh at them.
125
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.079
They're just how utterly ignorant they are.
126
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.879
Yeah, can we continue doing bombing raids and bombing this
127
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.240
thatt and the next thing? And yes, they can continue
128
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:37.839
to go back in the other direction. I'm gonna be
129
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.839
very clear with this like I've been from the beginning.
130
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.639
There's no doubt in my mind.
131
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.079
And again, if people were actually honest, if I know,
132
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.680
if Republicans were not afraid of the president and the media, again,
133
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.519
they're all a bunch of cowards. They know this too.
134
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.319
They know that this was supposed to be. This was
135
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.959
designed to be a you know, a quick hitter. This
136
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.079
was designed to be a couple of weeks. We're going
137
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.759
to do a little shock in Awe and Iran was
138
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.720
going to concede, and you know, we were going to
139
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.560
look like this is great, another Venezuela type of situation, and.
140
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:19.720
It didn't turn out that way.
141
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.959
And like I've been saying now for a couple of months,
142
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.720
I said, we need to find an off ramp as
143
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.480
soon as possible.
144
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:32.080
Now.
145
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.519
Basically, the climate, the political climate here in this country,
146
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.320
the president can do. I don't understand why he doesn't
147
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:45.759
because again, his faithful, the mag of faithful, that the
148
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.279
ones that there's certain ones out there that he could
149
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.159
do whatever he wants.
150
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.639
And Trump even said the years ago, I could shoot
151
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.840
somebody on Fitthab but nobody would care. That's basically true.
152
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.399
He could come out and he could say, we won
153
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.919
this thing bigly, hugely, you know, biggest, greatest victory in
154
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.879
the history of the United States of America.
155
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.720
There hasn't been a bigger victory ever.
156
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.440
And all of his people that they pay the people
157
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.919
again with no backbone, will They'll repeat the thing again
158
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.759
and again and again all over social media. Fox will
159
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.519
cover it. They'll have some parade somewhere.
160
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.600
He can maybe you know, make us you.
161
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.840
Know, statutunes of whatever it may be, whatever's gonna make
162
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:23.320
him happy.
163
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.039
I don't care.
164
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:31.279
I just I want this to end. I want energy
165
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.320
to start flowing freely again. I want fertilizer to flow again.
166
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:43.840
I want prices to come down at some point in time.
167
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.039
We've got to come to that realization. Okay, threatening like
168
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.440
he did at the cabinet meeting this past week again
169
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.759
to bomb Oman, why would you? Why would you get
170
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.600
a vombit? We're gonna bombit on the country. They don't
171
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.360
do We told we're gonna bomb them too.
172
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:02.759
What.
173
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.759
Yeah, I don't know if you remember it was it
174
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.399
was a commercial break or something like that. Ronald Reagan
175
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.320
was you know, he was make cracking a joke. He's like,
176
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.279
oh yeah, the bombing's going to commence in a couple
177
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.679
of minutes. And everyone had a oh my god. I
178
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.960
could say, somebody, this guy sit it. Why being interviewed
179
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.639
at a cabinet meeting being filmed? It wasn't a joke.
180
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.399
Well maybe maybe to him it is. I don't know,
181
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.080
I don't know, but you know, we've delved into that
182
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.080
area where, you know, saying things where people were like,
183
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.600
I guess nobody actually believes what he's gonna say. You
184
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.639
wanna we're gonna bomb Oman? And you know, I know,
185
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.679
like I said, you know, Oh, can't land I Ran
186
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.279
have a new can't I have I Ran? We were
187
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.159
told that if we didn't do what we did, I
188
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.519
Ran would have nuked Israel?
189
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.720
Are you kidding me? Do you know how many nukes
190
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:02.279
Israel has? For crime? Out loud? This idea? Oh, it's
191
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.399
a suicidal cult over there. No, it's not.
192
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.240
Again against certain people. I guess it makes them feel
193
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.480
good to believe the bs. But again I would suggest
194
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.200
I'm gonna let you do your homework. Everybody's played that
195
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.080
game or risk when you were a kid. Go go online,
196
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.799
take a look at a map of Asia, and then
197
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.320
understand the conditions. One hundred and twelve average temperature, one
198
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.360
hundred and twelve degrees, ninety percent humidity.
199
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.120
You've got to get water to them, You've gotta get food.
200
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.639
I mean, all of this stuff.
201
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.679
Speak to anybody that actually bend you know, specially any
202
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.080
of these people. But these types of conditions and what
203
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.320
would be involved. Well, sure you can drop some special
204
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.720
forces in in an in and out, But you think
205
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.679
you're gonna change a regime there? You think it got
206
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.639
to take over the country in that manner, no way, shape,
207
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:05.000
matter or form. Again, who knows who knows. You know,
208
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.519
I could be done with this segment and maybe we'll
209
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.480
take that off ramp.
210
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.639
I don't know. But what I do not want to see.
211
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.320
What I do not want to see is a massive
212
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.240
spike in oil. I do not want to see food
213
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.279
prices go through the roof. You don't want to see
214
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.559
the world suffer. Okay, nobody getting on board is going
215
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.919
to help us. We cannot put our ships in the
216
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:32.879
strait of hormones.
217
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.279
Can't do it.
218
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.120
And I'll again, we'll take a break right here, and
219
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.639
actually I want to get into that. We're going to
220
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.360
talk a little bit about our military, since I've talked
221
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.679
about here on the program, and these things are important.
222
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.639
How our tax dollars are being spent, in case you
223
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.519
haven't heard, again, not being reported anywhere. Yeah, the Pentagon
224
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.000
failed another audit. That's right, we failed another was like
225
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.279
seven eight in a row failed audits by the pen Again,
226
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.720
talk a little bit about that. We get back Watchdog
227
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519
on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog on Wall Street dot com.
228
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:25.159
We shall return, taking Wall Streets liars, crooks and cheets
229
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.600
out behind the woodshed.
230
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.799
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
231
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.639
And this is the Watchdog on Wall Street should have
232
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.679
basically Watchdog on America show.
233
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.080
Again, we don't pick sides. I'm an equal opportunity basher.
234
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:51.159
I care about this country. I hate seeing us making
235
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.240
the same mistakes again and again and again. And you know,
236
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.919
many people out there, many people out there voted for
237
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.480
Donald Trump because said we're pulling away from this, We're
238
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.279
not going to be involved in all of these wars anymore.
239
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.360
And I made a point last segment, you didn't really
240
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:15.440
think about our country and just how lucky we are,
241
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:23.360
and just just geographically two oceans, Canada to the north,
242
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:30.559
Mexico to the south. And for crying out loud, I mean,
243
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.320
you know we have We're set up pretty well as
244
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:40.279
far as defense is concerned. And I know the threat
245
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.720
of nukes in North Korea has nukes, and there's always
246
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.879
that whole you know, mutually assured destruction. But again, what
247
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:54.039
was the biggest attack on America, bigges attack on America
248
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.360
outside of you know, Pearl Harbor Wars again, Hawaii in
249
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:03.879
the middle of the Pacific was done with box cutters
250
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.960
and airplanes on nine to eleven.
251
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.000
That again.
252
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.080
Should have stopped that you know anything about it. That
253
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.279
should have been stopped. We screwed up. We got these
254
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.879
guys down here in Venice, Florida. They just want to
255
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.320
learn how to fly the plane. They don't want they
256
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.000
don't want to learn how to land the plane. Holy
257
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:29.559
red flag Batman. But anyway, put that aside. Our Pentagon
258
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:34.799
has failed failed a financial audit for the eighth year
259
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.399
in a row. We spend a trillion dollars eight trillion
260
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.720
dollars a year plus on our military. We're now spending
261
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.279
one point three trillion dollars on interest on our national debt.
262
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.960
We are now thirty nine trillion dollars plus in debt.
263
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.559
We we bombed.
264
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.480
Iran, didn't we We bombed them, hit a bunch of
265
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.840
sites again, took out all these things. But again, all
266
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.879
of their airports reopened this week. All their airports reopened
267
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.960
this week. They still have their capabilities.
268
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.519
Again. The terrain there is very difficult.
269
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.720
We can hide things, mountains, caves, whatever it may be.
270
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.000
And I don't know if you've ever taken a look
271
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.960
at what they spend on their military compared to us,
272
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.039
it's basically you want to make an affair comparison, to
273
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.440
be kind of like maybe a I don't know, Little
274
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.240
League or Babe Ruth team against the New York Yankees.
275
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.480
There's no comparison. We spend more than the next nine
276
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:48.000
countries below us combined, most of which you know outside
277
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:54.679
of you know, China and Russia are allies. So make
278
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:59.279
it make sense to me on why you know? Again,
279
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.000
to me, it's it's an insult. It's an insult. And
280
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.000
you got Republicans going along with, oh yeah, we gotta
281
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.680
have this Wall Street, Joe, you gotta have this, gotta
282
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.279
spend one point five trillion dollars. They want to go
283
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.160
to one point five trillion dollars as far as our
284
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.559
military is concerned.
285
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:20.079
How dare you? How dare you ask us for that?
286
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.799
It's as much as when the leftists ask for for
287
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.720
more tax dollars, for more social spending. What all the
288
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.920
bloody waste that we have everywhere? You have you the
289
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.000
nerve to even ask us for more taxes? When we
290
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.160
see all of the fraud in all the ways.
291
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.839
Why don't you eliminate that first?
292
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.680
See what you need to understand, people, and what I've
293
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:47.119
been explaining for some time here is people, we're not
294
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.799
doing this the right way. We're not in today's day
295
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.119
and age. You want to make a pretty good you know,
296
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.759
comparison to what's going on right now. And what we
297
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.160
have I've learned from this, okay, is that we can't
298
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.119
defend well, first of all, we can't defend Taiwan. That's
299
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.920
out that there's no way we can defend Taiwan. It's
300
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:20.200
a reality, okay, it's a reality of war today. We
301
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.200
have all these big oh we got these aircraft carriers,
302
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.279
all this sudden and they want to build more of
303
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:34.240
this stuff. Why we cannot operate closer than a thousand
304
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.720
kilometers to Iran? That's how far at least that's how
305
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.359
far we have to be awagh, And they're not either.
306
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.440
A second rate military power.
307
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.680
Why because again we can't afford to lose those assets
308
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:54.480
and they can take them out with drones. How in
309
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.119
the world are we going to be able to defend
310
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.240
Taiwan when China's got hyper sonic missiles.
311
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.559
This is the reality. And yet you get people the
312
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.200
military it's just China and we gotta defend get the
313
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.039
hell out of here.
314
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.519
You know, sometimes, you know, you need to understand that,
315
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.039
you know, the technology changes, we still haven't figured that
316
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:24.680
out yet, you know, you know, cavalry. Cavalry charges they
317
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:28.720
were kind of rendered, I don't know, obsolete.
318
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.880
In World War One.
319
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:38.400
With trench warfare and artillery and machine guns, it kind
320
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.559
of rendered that obsolete, didn't They've seen the movies, you know.
321
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.839
It was a Kirk Douglas movie, Pads of Glory, sending
322
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:51.319
you again running toward a trench charge or gip Gallipoli.
323
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.079
Mel Gibson one of his earlies. I think it was
324
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:59.079
probably his first movie. It's done.
325
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:08.200
We don't need these assets anymore. The problem, you know,
326
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:09.839
you know, we're gonna have to get to a break.
327
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.319
I'm gonna tell you what the problem is, why this
328
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.559
is screwed up, okay, and why we spend so much money,
329
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.039
and again we can't figure it out.
330
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.799
We can we can't claim the strait of our moves.
331
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.200
We can't do it. Don't go anywhere. Gotta take a break.
332
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.519
Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com, watch Dog on Wall Street,
333

all here on the program, get to our website, Watchdog
335
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.839
on Wallstreet dot com, Personal CFO program, podcast, newsletter, you
336
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:41.880
name it, Watchdog on Wallstreet dot Com.
337
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.599
We'll be back.
338
00:20:45.000 --> 00:21:00.480
He said, the only man who has taken on the
339
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.440
Wall Street establishments. You're listening to The Watchdog and Wall
340
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.799
Street with Chris Markowski.
341
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.720
It's gonna be and there's another jagged little pill, And yeah,
342
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.039
I love the people disagree with this, ye know, I know,
343
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.079
I don't know why.
344
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.119
The current administration we're.
345
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.000
Gonna spend all we're gonna buy all these new destroyers,
346
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:31.920
we're gonna build all these new ships. Why they're floating targets.
347
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.920
I mean, if you said submarines, I'd like, yeah, okay,
348
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.319
that makes sense. There's submarines make a hell of a
349
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.519
lot of sense. But we have by far, there's no compared,
350
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:50.400
there's no the greatest, the greatest, as far as expensive
351
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.319
and most advanced navy in the entire world. And guess what,
352
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.359
guess what what are we gonna do? We gotta we're
353
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:00.759
gonna lose.
354
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.119
We're gonna risk losing one of those aircraft carriers in
355
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.599
the street.
356
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.640
They're gonna be able to, you know, fight off against
357
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:20.480
China hypersonic missiles. Our system again, it's our corrupt. It
358
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:27.480
is our military industrial complex is a scam. Okay, Eisenhower
359
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.359
was so right on this. It is it has been
360
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:37.000
scamming us, stealing our money. Okay, it's not about military capability.
361
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.440
I don't care what Pete Haggseeth is telling you.
362
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.000
You know what, we produce.
363
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:52.039
Contracts, long term contracts. Anthony Scamouch, you put out a
364
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.000
bit this past week, and spot on, I'm gonna quote
365
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.880
him directly. Actually, the five largest defense contractors in this
366
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.359
country employ.
367
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:09.880
One thousand, roughly one thousand lobbyists.
368
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.720
In Washington, DC. Think about that for a second. One
369
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:22.079
thousand lobbyists. That is almost two for every member of Congress,
370
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:31.680
not quite a thousand lobbyists. You ever wonder why again,
371
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.440
these defense conrectors are smart. I remember my my, you know,
372
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.640
little town there and uh, you know I used to
373
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.359
live on Long Island.
374
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.880
Live there on Long Island.
375
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.960
Have a defense contractor in our town? Oh you know
376
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.440
I was out there by University of Central Florida. Oh gee,
377
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.720
look at that, there's a Luckheed Martin. They're everywhere. They
378
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.440
distribute all of their suppliers, and they have offices in
379
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.039
buildings that you know how many states forty five states?
380
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.119
Five defense contractors are spread out. They spread out their
381
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.920
supply chains over forty five states. Why do you think
382
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.799
that is, think about a contemplate and reflect. It's deliberate, man.
383
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.920
Deliberate.
384
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.960
There're no senator out there that's going to vote to
385
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.200
cancel a program without firing his own constituents.
386
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.839
We did a whole thing on this, on all of these.
387
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.039
Airplanes that we maintain, I forget the name of them,
388
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.079
for crying out out in the Arizona deserts.
389
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.839
We maintain them.
390
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.119
It's just a money pit because nobody wants to cancel
391
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:40.880
it because there's going to be job losses right there.
392
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:47.839
That is our military industrial complex.
393
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.359
We have to change direct you think about the technology
394
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.359
that we have at our favor, what we could do.
395
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.920
Think a look at what Ukraine has been able to
396
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:07.519
do with drones against Russia. Look at how long they
397
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.440
have held out and what they were capable of doing.
398
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.680
And again they volunteered.
399
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.839
They said, hey, well we'll you know, we'll start to
400
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.640
selling you these drones too, because the Russians are buying
401
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:25.839
the Russians are buying the Iranian drones. We're using multi
402
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.119
million dollar missiles to shoot down drones. The Ukrainians are
403
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.559
using drones to knock down drones at a much better price.
404
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:38.440
Who's doing it? The right way. We well, we are.
405
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:44.759
Our own worst enemy. And again this is it's plain
406
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.759
and simple. This is about money and lots of it,
407
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:51.599
lots of it.
408
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.240
Yeah.
409
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.839
I said this on the podcast this past week. Listen,
410
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:01.880
we're the New York as far as military is concerned.
411
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:07.079
At this point in time. You are, Bill Parcells. I
412
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.440
did a lot of sports stuff there. You are what
413
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.079
your record says you are. Okay, Yeah, the New York
414
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.319
men's the most expensive payroll in baseball. I mean, we
415
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.440
had the most expensive military in the entire world. We
416
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:27.759
are going head to head with a second tier military
417
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:36.000
and we, believe it not, they're holding their own Again,
418
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.960
we talked about this here on the program. This was
419
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:44.039
during the Biden administration as well. I've pointed this out here.
420
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:49.480
I look what the Hoothys were capable of doing. You
421
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.480
remember that, shutting down traffic, supply chain issues, all of
422
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.880
this stuff. The Houthy's a rebel group in Yemen.
423
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.400
At some point in time, we're gonna have to to
424
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:07.960
rethink this. We really are.
425
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.799
But again, there's just there's so much money at stake
426
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.720
at this point in time. I don't I don't see
427
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:20.359
it happening. It's unfortunate. But I don't but one point
428
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:22.599
five at one point, we're gonna go from one trillion
429
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.799
to one point five trillion. Come on, man, come on,
430
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.759

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.839
listening to The Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski's
438
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.160
the Nick.
439
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.359
Oh it was a bit in that movie Derek Zoolander,
440
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.039
The School for Kids Don't Read good.
441
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.680
Woh yeah, graduation time. This was interesting.
442
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:35.119
Professors at the University of California STEM professors science, technology, math,
443
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:40.200
you know all that good stuff they are begging. They're
444
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.799
begging administrators right now. Please please, mister administrator, please bring
445
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:50.200
back standardized tests to decide who gets into the school.
446
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:59.480
Our kids can't add sub tracked severe math deficiencies. This
447
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.200
is what they're saying. We now.
448
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:08.839
Observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle
449
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:19.240
school mathematics. Listen, I understand colleges and universities and their
450
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.839
their business and they have to put butts in the seats.
451
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.640
But we're doing it wrong. We really are. We are
452
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.039
doing it wrong here in this country.
453
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.440
If you're not ready to go to college, if you're
454
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.160
not prepared to go to college, you shouldn't be able
455
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.440
to go to college. I mean, you're making it more
456
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.920
difficult for the entire class that was seeing this as
457
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.359
some of the other schools too. And these are some
458
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.160
of the IVY were medial math media.
459
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:51.240
For an IVY League school.
460
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.079
At these numbers, people, and again to me, you know
461
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.960
it's a bigger this is a bigger national security concern.
462
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.440
I'm gonna give you two greater national concert concerns than
463
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.720
I ran. I gave you our national debt. I'll give
464
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.200
you another one.
465
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.680
Education. Here in this country, reading scores dropped and eighty.
466
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.480
Three percent of US school districts from twenty fifteen to
467
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:15.799
twenty twenty five.
468
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:17.200
Eighty three percent ten years.
469
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:24.480
Math dropped seventy percent in one of every three school districts.
470
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:28.720
Kids now read a full grade level behind where they
471
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:32.000
were a decade ago. The bottom decile student has lost
472
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.839
two full grade equivalents. The losses look the same across
473
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.880
socioeconomic profiles, races, and urban versus rural areas. From nineteen
474
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:51.039
ninety to twenty thirteen, scores climbed for twenty three years
475
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.759
the average fourth grader and twenty thirteen could do the
476
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.400
math of an average sixth grader in nineteen ninety. Now
477
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:03.799
we've gone in reverse again. What is a bigger concern
478
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:10.240
for the United States of America? Iran or our national
479
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:13.240
debt and education in America?
480
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:18.400
Today? You're gonna put a nuke in Manhattan? Yeah?
481
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:24.119
Okay, sure again, if you're gonna again, what am I
482
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:26.079
gonna do you think that that's gonna happen?
483
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.200
Okay? Fine?
484
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:31.000
You know Trump was right about shooting somebody on Fifth
485
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.839
Avenue and heaven and get away with it.

We'll be back.

Taking Wall Streets liars, crooks and cheats out behind the woodshed.
492
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.200
You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
493
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:15.680
I don't you know.
494
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.400
I don't watch cables much news at all. Maybe you
495
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.400
know a little bit here and there and see clips
496
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.079
here and there. I most certainly you know, then they parade, oh,
497
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.880
coming up Brooks, we got to this politician.
498
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.519
We've got that. I don't watch any of that because
499
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:30.599
I just assume.
500
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.200
I assume whether it's a Democrat or Republican, I'm just
501
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.519
going to be given talking points and lies.
502
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:41.000
And that's that's pretty much the case.
503
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.680
And you know what's pathetic and sad is that you
504
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.680
know these people that are on that are hosting these programs.
505
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.079
I know, think why they get paid so much money.
506
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.759
I guess is so you know they're paying me so
507
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.680
much money, I'll just go along with it. I won't
508
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:57.359
use my brain at all. A case of point, there
509
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.960
was one this past week where they were talking about
510
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.359
out how Venezuela is going to pay the Venezuelan oil
511
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:09.400
would take is going to pay for the Iran war
512
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.920
twenty five times over.
513
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:17.799
And there was no pushback. I think the President said
514
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:19.079
it first, and then he had some of his.
515
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.880
Talking heads saying the exact same thing, saying the exact
516
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.799
same thing, And I'm like, do you people have a calculator?
517
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:32.559
Do you understand how ridiculous. That statement is that's for
518
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.519
argument's sake.
519
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.640
Ok we'll play. We'll do play with math. Math is power.
520
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.680
Let's just say, and it's going to be more expensive this.
521
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:45.000
We'll say the war cost fifty billion dollars. Okay, we'll
522
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:46.920
just go with that. It's gonna be more than that.
523
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.519
Twenty five times fifty billion is one two hundred and
524
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:57.160
fifty billion. So that means Venezuela would need to produce
525
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:04.519
twelve point five billion barrels of oil twelve point five
526
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.799
billion barrels of oil for that to pay for the
527
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:11.760
Iran war twenty five times or the daily oil production
528
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.679
in Venezuela is one point one million barrels, so we'll.
529
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.440
Just up it to two million barrels. So that's six
530
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:20.480
two hundred and.
531
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:24.239
Fifty days worth of oil, or about seventeen years worth
532
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:24.880
of production.
533
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:30.679
Does anyone believe this? Yeah, people actually believe that.
534
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.480
They'll say this and they will actually believe it, meaning
535
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:37.159
that we are gonna steal every bit of Venezuelan oil
536
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.159
and it's gonna pay for it. I mean, I don't
537
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.119
know what they're gonna live on down there in Venezuela.
538
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.639
Who I couldn't tell you for the next seventeen years.
539
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.480
Again, the whole I play it. You can't handle the truth,
540
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.960
Colonel Jessep. People can't. They don't.
541
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.519
It makes them uncomfortable. Here was another one I had
542
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.800
to point out as well. And I again, I how
543
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.519
in the world is Greenland back in the equation?
544
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.559
Again? And all of fox again. I know again they're
545
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:07.679
floating things to try.
546
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:13.719
To distract people. You got the governor of Louisiana. Governor Louisiana,
547
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.119
is this envoy to Greenland.
548
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.079
And he just got back.
549
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.239
He just got back, and he's telling everybody ground there
550
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:23.639
Greenland needs to make a deal.
551
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:26.119
If I hear that work deal again, I'm got to
552
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:27.119
throw up in my mouth.
553
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.920
Greenland, it could be exporting two million barrels of oil
554
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.559
a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure
555
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.039
that would relieve in a strait of horror moves, What
556
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.760
kind of leverage that would give America.
557
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.480
It's time for the Danes to come to the table.
558
00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:44.280
Gotta make a deal, dude.
559
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:52.079
Again, the ignorance, it knows no bounds. No, they couldn't
560
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:58.280
be producing two million barrels of oil a day. There
561
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.360
is no oil company that's gonna go up there and
562
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:06.039
retrieve that oil. Because the cost of retrieving that oil
563
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:10.559
is astronomical. They don't have the infrastructure there in the
564
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.000
country to go ahead and do that. We've gone over
565
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.000
this here on the programs because if they couldn't and
566
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.480
it made sense, they would have done it already.
567
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.000
You don't think that these oil companies are profit driven?
568
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:27.960
I mean you ever watched it.
569
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.039
I mean, bloody Billy Bob Thornton in the show Landman
570
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.440
for Crying out Loud explains very succinically and how yeah,
571
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.360
you know what, you have to obviously be selling oil
572
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:45.480
above your extraction costs. You can't extract oil from Greenland
573
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:47.320
at a one hundred and twenty and one hundred and
574
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.480
fifty dollars a barrel, not to mention the fact who's
575
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:55.079
gonna make that investment knowing that eventually the straight of
576
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:57.480
Armus is gonna open up and a barrel of oil
577
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.480
is gonna come down and then they're gonna lose money
578
00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.679
on that.
579
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.480
Yes, dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb. But they parade these.
580
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:11.280
People on TV and it's again it insults my intelligence. Hey, Landry,
581
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.480
stay in your state of Louisiana. Okay, I see the
582
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:18.639
rankings of various different things, education and your state. Why
583
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:23.360
don't you work on Louisiana? Man, Okay, leave Greenland alone.
584
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:29.920
I learned a word this week and again both sides,
585
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.280
both sides.
586
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:32.760
Uh.
587
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:42.400
The word is cacistocracy, cacustocracy. And again I think kakistos.
588
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.679
Is uh the worst. I think that means worst in Greek.
589
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.440
I'll have to ask my mother in law after the show.
590
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:53.800
Cacustocracy a state or country run by the worst, least qualified,
591
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.000
our most unscrupulous citizens.
592
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.519
Does that at all sound familiar to you? It does
593
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.199
to me? And again, people listen to this show, Trump
594
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:07.800
drained from them.
595
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.400
No, I don't have trunch. I voted for the guy
596
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:16.639
three times. And if you listen to this programs, I
597
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:17.760
would you know he won?
598
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.199
I would.
599
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:24.400
We were fired up and thrilled prior to Liberation Day. Oh,
600
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.960
by the way, you know we're refunding all those tariffs
601
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.199
now all that money. Yeah, you're you're not getting your
602
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:32.800
tariff check. Okay, tariffs are going back.
603
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.920
It is what it is. We got to cut checks again.
604
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:36.480
I was.
605
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:39.719
We were thrilled about all the pre We were thrilled
606
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:43.119
about doge and cutting government spending and getting rid of
607
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.639
regulation and all of those things.
608
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.199
If we I'm just again, it aggravates me.
609
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.400
It's kind of like that wasted talent thing, you know,
610
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.760
it's kind of wasting what we what could have been.
611
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:55.679
I go back and think, man, if we had just
612
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:58.320
followed through and just focused on a laser beam on
613
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.400
those things. Okay, what type of economic growth we could
614
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.440
be having, because meanwhile GDP growth, GDP growth got revised
615
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:11.639
downward to one point four percent. Meanwhile Kevin Hassett says
616
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.880
it's gonna be six. Okay, man, whatever, God bless everybody.
617
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.280
Have a wonderful week. Watchdog on Wallstreet dot com. Watchdog
618
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:20.360
on Wallstreet dot com.
619
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:20.920
We'll see it.
