00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:12.519
Oh, well, no one altered. Investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, trader.
2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.679
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on the wall street.
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.839
Do you want to answer exposing the lines and myths
4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.280
that the big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the
5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.359
government are pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.
6
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.320
You can't handle the true.
7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.359
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:34.280
financial world.
9
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.759
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.280
but in political and economic reality.
11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.880
This is the watchdog on wall streets.
12
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:50.479
All right, welcome back everybody. Yeah, you listen to that intro.
13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.600
It's been on twenty four years. That wasn't our original intro,
14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:01:01.920
but it's sorted about twenty four years ago. I've covered
15
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.560
basically every scam, financial scam and fraud here on the program,
16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:13.040
on our podcast, on our newsletter articles. I've explained that
17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.120
we put Markowski Investments together. We went out and we
18
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.799
specific went out to help out victims of the boiler
19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.159
room operators, the Jordan Belfort's of the world, helping them
20
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
to rebuild their accounts with our account repair kit. We
21
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.079
warned you about Mateoff, we warned about Enron, one thing
22
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.359
after another, and again, I've got the receipts. You can
23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.560
go and check. You can go and check, you can
24
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.599
go back. You can listen to our audio, you can
25
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.000
see the videos, the interviews that I've done. It's all
26
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:55.200
up there. If I covering financial fraud, It's a very difficult,
27
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:01.680
difficult thing. It's exhausting, it really is. Because I come
28
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.400
on here and I try to keep my cool. I
29
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:11.879
try not TL try to lay everything out, but people
30
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:21.159
people don't listen. They don't listen. They want to believe.
31
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.919
They get sold on something and they want to believe.
32
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.520
I remember this is it was two thousand and six,
33
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.599
fifteen twenty sixteen is when all of this crypto and
34
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.439
meme coins really started coming out. And we did a
35
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.800
bit on the show because I was making fun of this.
36
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.800
I said, you know, I might as well just come
37
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.199
up with my own coin. I could call it watchdog
38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.479
coin or watch dog bucks. And I was doing it
39
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.599
tongue in cheek and cracking jokes about it here on
40
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:56.599
the program. But I wasn't off. I mean, Kardashian had
41
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.280
her own coin, wasn't that long ago. I was that
42
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.759
one girl who has got popular for saying something gross
43
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:11.960
she had her own coin. And again it's just those
44
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.319
things like really, you're gonna really invest in Kim Kardashian.
45
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.479
But yeah, Forrest Gump, you know, stupid is as stupid
46
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:23.960
does as an investment advisor. This is a little bit
47
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.199
different what the president and his kids have done with
48
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.759
their crypto ventures. And again, I'm going to get people
49
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.360
angry with me for being honest and truthful. You can't
50
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.680
defend this. You can't. The best defenses that I've seen
51
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.960
of his behavior as oh, it's just being a great
52
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.199
capitalist stealing from people's capitalism. There, Jesse Waters that that's
53
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:54.400
that's that's capitalism stealing from people, because that that's what
54
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.080
I call this. You actually had Charles Gasparino between, Oh,
55
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.080
you know people, you know better, Hey, all these crypto
56
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:09.520
ascids are speculative, Charlie. Shut up, man, Okay, shut up.
57
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.599
You're a hack. Okay, you're lying through your teeth, you
58
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:18.160
know better. Yeah, and I could see right through these people. Okay,
59
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.199
you know you're a piece of garbage by saying this. Okay,
60
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.199
I get it, I get it. This is how your
61
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.319
bread is butter, It's how you make a living. Okay,
62
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.519
it's how you get paid. But you know as well
63
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:38.279
as I do that Trump came out with this. Okay, again,
64
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.079
he was he had people believing anything that he was saying,
65
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.639
and he took advantage of that belief and the people
66
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.759
that voted for him, and he proceeded to sell them
67
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:58.560
three point eight billion dollars and Trump crypto coin that
68
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.040
is worthless. Well, it's not worth us. So I'll put
69
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.480
it in perspective. If you put ten thousand bucks into
70
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.160
Trump coin Melani coin, it's worth what like three hundred
71
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:14.160
dollars today, and you're okay with this. This is the
72
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.399
biggest political grift I've ever seen in my entire life. Again,
73
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:25.600
I don't don't, I don't get it. The interesting thing
74
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.399
that I'm taking away from this is just the the
75
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.879
fact that it's not getting pursued. Again, a lot of
76
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.639
this information. It was interesting too. This dropped right before
77
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.480
the fourth of July holiday because there's other things going on.
78
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:48.680
That was by design. It's by design. You've noticed all
79
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.319
of the political grift and graft that comes on. It'll
80
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.800
be a story for a while. It'll be a story
81
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.000
for a while, and it just goes away. No one
82
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.439
has ever prosecuted thing has ever done. We'll have we'll
83
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.680
have stories out there. I can't let these politicians trade stocks,
84
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.120
inside information, all this stuff, and everybody's waving their fingers,
85
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.480
but nothing ever changes, and they get wealthier and wealthier.
86
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.079
People are recognizing this and saying, holy cow, holy cow,
87
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.040
we can do this too. You don't think that. The
88
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:36.120
Democrats saying, man, how did he pull this off? And
89
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.439
again it's it's not just the the crypto, the Trump kids.
90
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.720
Six and twenty million dollar Pentagon loan, the largest in
91
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.800
the program's history, to a company that Don Junior's firm
92
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.600
bought into just three months ago. An Air Force drone
93
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.920
contract to US. I talked about startup company to a
94
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.319
startup company. They just took public to a golf course company.
95
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.360
You can't make this stuff up. The Army's largest drone
96
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.120
motor order to a company Don Junior sits on the
97
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.279
board and holds millions in stock. Twenty four million dollar
98
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.519
robotics contract we reported on. This company employs Eric As
99
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:31.759
as a chief strategic chief strategy officer. They just now
100
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.120
have a stake in the largest underdeveloped tungsten deposit on
101
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.240
earth in Kazakhstan. Again, your tax dollars, one point six
102
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.600
billion dollar government loan. The list goes on and on
103
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:55.480
and on. Should I not report on this? Is this
104
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.439
is okay in your eyes because he closed the border.
105
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.000
I mean, yeah, I'm happy close supporter. That can be true.
106
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.240
But you know what also can be true is that
107
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:14.519
this is just wrong's wrong, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
108
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:22.040
I have yet to hear a cohjient defense of this.
109
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.800
And the reality is is that it's just going to continue.
110
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.879
It's not whoever the next president is going to continue
111
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.399
whoever next comes in office that that doesn't again, we
112
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.559
need to start you need to start voting for people
113
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.879
that haven't had that ethical bypass at birth. I know
114
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.799
I've used that phrase before here on the program, and
115
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.600
I encountered a lot of people that had ethical bypasses
116
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.159
at birth. And my experiences that I that I had
117
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.679
on Wall Street over the years. One of the reason
118
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.600
why I had to get out of there the ability
119
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:07.200
for people to justify bad behavior, bad behavior in their
120
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:14.679
minds just because it was legal, just because it was legal.
121
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.480
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. You
122
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.200
know that, I know that there's good money and there's
123
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.000
bad money, and it's all your people are gonna come
124
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.279
out and hammer me. Ah, there's true. And street of
125
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.960
gravel is also. I'm gonna ask you, I'm just gonna
126
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.519
throw this out there, and you know you can take
127
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.879
it for what it's worth. Have you do you have
128
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:44.639
to speak to the people that lose everything? You do
129
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:49.519
you have to do? You speak to senior citizen who
130
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.840
voted for Trump, believed in Trump wearing the maga hat,
131
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.639
believe that this was gonna be a wonderful investment, took
132
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.399
all their money out of the bank and decided to
133
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.080
do and put it in this and now it's gone.
134
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.960
What I'm gonna ask you, what, what do you say
135
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.919
to that person that's just Trump being Trump? Trump being
136
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.120
a capitalist? They should have known better. I guess yeah,
137
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.120
they probably should have known better, but they didn't. And
138
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.039
just because someone doesn't know better, does that mean that
139
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:29.399
they are pray capitalism people? It's not. It's not predator
140
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.320
and pray capitalism is two people getting sitting down at
141
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.519
a table, doing business with one another and both walking
142
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:42.679
away happy, praying on people that are weaker than you,
143
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:53.399
weak minded, maybe in this case financially ignorant. You're okay
144
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:59.679
with that. I remember it was at the at the
145
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.399
end of and I used the clip from Colonel jessp
146
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:10.360
Here on the program. A few good men and they
147
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:16.120
got disbarred from the Marines. Why did they end up
148
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.799
getting disbarred? They didn't go to jail? The code read right,
149
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.360
because the Marine is supposed to defend those that are
150
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:34.840
weaker than they are. And I don't. I'm sorry, people,
151
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:40.240
you can't justify. You can't justify to me how it's okay,
152
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.120
and that that's capitalism where you're taking advantage of people
153
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.480
that don't know you're praying upon people and the fact
154
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.200
that they believe in you and your politics and whatever
155
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.080
it may be. Again, that's that's an affinity fraud, quite frankly,
156
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.200
and I've talked about that for some time here on
157
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.639
the part. I see it happen in churches all over
158
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.039
the country. And again I'm gonna ask you again, to
159
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.200
all you people that can defend this, what do you say?
160
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:13.759
What should I say? What should I say to that
161
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.879
elderly man, that elderly widow out there that took fifty
162
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.279
thousand dollars out of their their checking or their their
163
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.679
savings account, or maybe their CD or whatever it may be,
164
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:34.159
sold stock to buy Trump meme coins because they voted
165
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.519
for the guy and they believed in him. What do
166
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.960

on Wallstreet dot Com Back.
172
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.960
You should believe in math not magic. You're listening to
173
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.480
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
174
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.720
All right, as as you may be aware and listening
175
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:36.600
to this first time listening this program. Yeah, I'm politically homeless.
176
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.799
You know, I've been politically homeless for quite some time.
177
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.240
I'm a conservative, libertarian guy. Believe in the constitution, Miss Reagan,
178
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.679
I miss Milton Friedman. I miss the days of four
179
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.679
or five percent GDP growth that you want to get
180
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.759
back to. That's what I want to get back to.
181
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.480
I'm an equal opportunity basher and I go after both
182
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.919
sides as far as politics on this program are concerned.
183
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.200
We kind of talk about big issues and ideas and
184
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.159
how to go about fixing problems. Here in this country.
185
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.320
I often don't like going after individual races. I'll do
186
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.240
it some time to time here on the podcast. I
187
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.279
was obviously a very strong defender of Thomas Massey and
188
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.600
what he has done. And you know what happened to him.
189
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.759
It was a political assassination by Apak. But this Graham
190
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.200
Graham Platter thing that taking place at this point in time,
191
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.360
I kind of watched it from afar. We commented on
192
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.159
the program and I was saying, you know, bad candidate
193
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.919
on the left, band candidate and the right, you got Platner,
194
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.919
and you got Ken Paxson down there in Texas, and
195
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.799
I saw some of the stories about this guy, and
196
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.720
again it just shows you just how awful our politics
197
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:12.240
is in this country. Democrats, Democrats again, they are they're
198
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.200
most certainly drifting to the far far left. I mean,
199
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.000
the Republican Party is most certainly gone to the left.
200
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.120
But you've got the far left right. Now you've got
201
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.960
what a communists running for office here in this country.
202
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.360
And again, being a child of the seventies and eighties,
203
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.600
I can't even get my arms around that, quite frankly,
204
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.759
but they've got a problem. Democrats do they want to
205
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.360
tap into that working class man. That's they want to
206
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.279
get that back. And they basically found this guy to
207
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.080
run against Susan Collins in Maine. And it's almost like
208
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.200
that they tried, they tried, almost crafted him. You know,
209
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.159
we need this. He checks all of these boxes that
210
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.000
we have. And again it was one thing after the
211
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.559
guy had a bloody Nazi tattoo, you had democratic politicians
212
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.519
oh oh k. And I'm like what and you take
213
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.879
a look at all of the things on this guy
214
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.080
lied about the Nazi tattoo set, he'd rape people, sexted
215
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.480
with people women while he was married, bragged about drawing
216
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.080
penises and porta potties, praised Islamic terrorists, said he's a communist,
217
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.240
joined an app known to be used by predators to
218
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.159
contact miners, and had all sorts of sexual assault allegations.
219
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.559
But now another story. Too many receipts with Politico and
220
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.600
the New York Times, and they got to get rid
221
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:46.360
of this guy. This is just how phony politics is. Okay,
222
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.759
first and foremost guy was not working class, all right, Yeah,
223
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.159
he's an oyster fisherman. He went to Hotchkiss for crying
224
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.360
out loud. What is that? Fifty sixty thousand dollars a
225
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.960
year private school. His only customer for his oil is
226
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:06.759
his mom's restaurant. I actually watched the video of the
227
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:13.000
two people from Maine that found this guy. I mean,
228
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:19.319
you couldn't be any more stereotypical of far left. It's nuts,
229
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.119
it really is. But this just shows how phone they were.
230
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.440
This is the Democrats they want. They need to find
231
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:31.759
somebody that's like the Rip from Yellowstone or Kelsey from Yellowstone,
232
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.519
A man's man. Let me tell you something, Okay, true masculinity,
233
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.160
masculine guys. I want want to sensitive ponytail guys or
234
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.079
the hot chocolate guy selling Obamacare. Remember that one. Masculinity
235
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:58.839
is about building, protecting, building, protecting, creating, teaching. That's what
236
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:03.759
it's about. What what on the far left has anything?
237
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.000
What is your communism and taking other people's stuff that's
238
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.640
not yours? What do you people build? What does Elizabeth
239
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:18.240
Warren build and create? What does Bernie Sanders build and create?
240
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.880
What does Roe Kanna build and create? What exactly do
241
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.359
you leftist? Do you progressives do? You don't do anything,
242
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.920
You don't fix anything. You just look to take other
243
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:37.000
people's stuff. Google, go ahead and get yourself a job
244
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:42.599
for crying out loud, start a business, payroll, come up
245
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.440
with a marketing plan for crime, spending your time trying
246
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:51.480
to engineer in some sort of laboratory. A pseudo masculine communist.
247
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:57.599
They don't exist. Masculiny has nothing to do with it.
248
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.440
I mean, it's the polar opposite for crying out loud.
249
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.079
But they just haven't figured out. Amazing the effort that
250
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:13.880
people go, These politicians go to just dupe people. You
251
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.799
go backie, look at all the statements. They knew all
252
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:20.119
of the baggage that this guy had voting from anyway.
253
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.880
But hey, hey, wait a second, Like I said, I'm
254
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.960
equal opportunity. Okay, you flipped this, you flip this, and
255
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.680
this guy his grandpa was a Republican, I guarantee. On
256
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.519
the five on Fox, Oh that's fake news. They do
257
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.240
the same exact thing. They would be saying the exact
258
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:45.359
same thing because he's on their team again. Two hundred
259
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.160
and fiftieth anniversary. Pick up a copy of the Federalist papers.
260
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.680
Read a little bit about what the founders actually had
261
00:19:53.720 --> 00:20:01.079
to say. Founders actually had to say about political parties,
262
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:06.640
what their thoughts were on political parties anyway, Gotta take

with Chris Markowski.
272
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.480
The past few weeks of various guest appearances I make
273
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.559
on on programs on a regular base, I was getting questions, obviously,
274
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:26.000
you know, thoughts on America two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
275
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.119
and what what it means and what you know, the
276
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.640
greatness of America, asking me to point out things that
277
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.839
I thought were just wonderful about this country. There's there's
278
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.839
too many, but you know, to to narrow it down.
279
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.400
I think I've talked about this before here on the program.
280
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:42.319
One of the great things about this country is it's
281
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.480
okay to fail. It's okay to fail, and that says
282
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.920
if you've got to go out there, you have to
283
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.079
build and create and guess what you're gonna fall on
284
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.880
your face. There's gonna be times when you are gonna
285
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.400
fall flat on your face. You're gonna get knocked down
286
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.200
to the dirt, and you've got to pick yourself up.
287
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.680
It's okay, it's okay to fail in America. That's what
288
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.000
entrepreneurs do. That's what people go out and build and
289
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:18.960
create do. They go out, get knocked down, pick themselves up,
290
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.720
and move on and say. One more, really great thing
291
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:34.680
about our constitutional republic is we are self correcting. We
292
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:42.160
are we make mistakes, we make mistakes, and we've been
293
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.359
able to correct mistakes in our two hundred and fifty
294
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:51.079
year anniversary. Now again, I think twentieth century and twenty
295
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.839
first century, we still have a lot of correcting to do.
296
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.720
And I could go back and we can talk about,
297
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:04.359
you know, the the Woodrow Wilson years and the various
298
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.640
different things that got us off track and has led
299
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.079
to the size of our federal government, Washington d c.
300
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.839
To grow all powerful, getting rid of getting rid of
301
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.440
the state, various different states appointing senators. Now we have
302
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.720
the direct election of centers, and that was never in
303
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.559
the constitution. Wilson put that in and then you know,
304
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:31.400
he also income tax and Federal Reserve, and then led
305
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.480
to all sorts of other things. And again, you know,
306
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.279
post World War two military industrial complex. We have a
307
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.039
lot of self correcting that we have to do, but
308
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.960
we can do it, and we've done it over our history.
309
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.480
When I go off and I said equal opportunity bashing
310
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.440
here on the program. If you're not, then I'm sorry.
311
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:59.359
There's just I don't have any room for you. You know. Yeah,
312
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.480
I see on acts and social media, these various different
313
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.559
political influencers. No matter what their guy says, doesn't matter
314
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.759
if it's a donkey, does it matter if it's an elephant.
315
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.039
Whatever that person does or says, they are on there
316
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:24.720
backing them. Why let me ask a question, would you
317
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:31.440
want would you want a significant other to be like that? One? Am?
318
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.079
I One of my favorite all time movies I cited here.
319
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.240
It's a classic. It's a classic capitalism movie, too hard
320
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.759
work movie coming to America And the beginning of the
321
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:48.039
film Eddie Murphy. He has his wife chosen for him,
322
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.519
and his wife is all our life, been trained to
323
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.440
like what you like and do what you and all
324
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.680
this stuff. And he meets her and you know what,
325
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.759
what's your favorite food, whatever you like, you know, what's
326
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:05.079
your favorite or whatever you like? Anyho, well, whatever you know,
327
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.079
you mean to tell me whatever I asked you to do,
328
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.279
you're gonna do. And he's like quark like a dog.
329
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.960
I'm like, it's would you want to be married to
330
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:20.200
somebody like that? It's okay to have different points of view,
331
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.400
and we need to understand that it's not right versus left,
332
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:38.319
it's right versus wrong. Last week at Churchard Homily talking
333
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.799
about this, this very thing, the very thing. You know
334
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:45.440
you'll you'll have left this out there at that point,
335
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.400
Timer or tearing down statues, tearing down statues, or Thomas
336
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.640
Jefferson this one and that when they owned slaves, they
337
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.000
did this, They did that, Yeah, they they did. They
338
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:56.720
did it was wrong, but they also did some some
339
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.200
great stuff too. And we're all flawed human beings. But
340
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:05.480
we told nothing wrong, would pointed out the wrong things,
341
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.759
we can also compint out the right things. It's not
342
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.240
right versus left, it's right versus wrong. And actually you
343
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:16.680
think about it, you know, probably the worst Supreme Court
344
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:21.599
case in the history of our country was eighteen ninety
345
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:27.279
six Plusy versus Ferguson, which basically enshrined separate but equal,
346
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.720
and what did that do to the country Until Brown
347
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:38.799
versus Board of Education there was a seven to one decision,
348
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:46.680
a seven to one decision, And don't tell me, don't
349
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.359
tell me that those seven justices didn't know that it
350
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.279
was wrong. They did what was politically expedient. There was
351
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.359
one it was as John Marshall Harlan was the only
352
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.359
dissenting voice, only dissenting voice in that decision.
353
00:26:59.400 --> 00:26:59.880
They knew.
354
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.559
And that's what it comes down to. People. What we
355
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.839
need to have more of in this country is courage.
356
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.920
Courage to stick your neck out and do the right thing,
357
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:23.240
say the right thing. We all have to do it.
358
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.519
You want to make this place better, so you need
359
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.160
to do not every week can again. So we praise
360
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:32.680
our soldiers and all these people that do this great workerence,
361
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.839
but each and all of our us have to contribute
362
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.519
to making this country great. I always talk about build, create, protect,
363
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.759
and teach, but also people, you've got to stick your
364
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.279
neck out. I've said it a thousand times in here.
365
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.599
If you see a fraud and you don't say fraud, well,
366
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.640
then you're a fraud.
367
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:52.680
Well.
368
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.200
I don't want to.
369
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.720
Upset the Apple card. No no, no, no no no. We
370
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:00.240
need more people to be upsetting the Apple care. You
371
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.839
want things to get better, Knock over some Apple carts.

the woodshed. You're listening to the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
378
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:50.119
Okay, something very important to me and I've railed about
379
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.759
for years here on the program, and I'm talking to
380
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:57.559
the wall because nothing is ever done, nothing's ever done
381
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.680
when it comes to education here in this country. I'm
382
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.440
gonna I'm gonna ask you a few questions here, putting
383
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.720
some things forward, what would what we think should be done?
384
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.920
You had a hospital hospital where more than half of
385
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:20.279
the patients died from routine procedures. Or how about a
386
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:25.759
fire department, fire department, eh, maybe maybe got to like
387
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.519
fifty percent of the calls. Or about about a municipal
388
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:38.440
water utility that delivered contaminated water to half the residents,
389
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.480
or you know, you got bad air traffic controllers and
390
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:47.519
crashes all the time. What is that? Okay? We allow
391
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:51.680
allow that to continue? Okay, Well, there's the points we're
392
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:56.160
made talking about the current state of education and many
393
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.960
many of our major cities around the country. No institute
394
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.599
should should be permitted to run this way. Nine hundred
395
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:11.519
New York City public schools failing students, grade, inflation, lacking accountability.
396
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:20.319
It's it's incredible to me. Forty three percent, forty three
397
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.480
percent of the students, nine or twelve thousand students are
398
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.519
in failing schools. Of the nine hundred and six schools
399
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.599
out there, a majority of students and five hundred and
400
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.480
three of them failed both math and reading. Why aren't
401
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.519
we going to shut this down? I mentioned several weeks
402
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:40.119
ago here on the program in New York City they
403
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.000
spend over forty thousand dollars per student per year. Why
404
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.039
aren't we going to shut this down? What is somebody
405
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:50.200
going to say this is we're failing in any other
406
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:53.480
thing outside of government, you'd be out of business, it'd
407
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.599
be done, it'd be over with. Would just send your
408
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:01.559
kids to a private school where fifty percent of the
409
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:06.960
kids couldn't pass basic tests? And it's filtering through to
410
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:12.039
all over. The Economist magazine out of London tested one
411
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:16.079
hundred and sixty thousand people of all ages across thirty
412
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:19.920
eight member states. They found a full eight percent of
413
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.880
college students are reading at the level of a ten
414
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.599
year old. If not worse, you understand, in the United
415
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:33.440
States the percentage is at twenty percent. Come on, people,
416
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.279
we're doing it wrong. We can do better than this. Okay,
417
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.319
this is wasted talent. We can do better than this.
418
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.839
Have to take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.
419
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:43.279
We'll be back.
420
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.720
This is the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
421
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:11.000
You know, I've got to stack a stug. I'm never
422
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:16.640
gonna be the last segment, third hour, and you know what,
423
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.640
I'm gonna talk a little school, We're gonna talk a
424
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.400
little World Cup, and I'm gonna throw some business in
425
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.240
with this as well. All right, World Cup. I mean
426
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.559
we mentioned earlier people coming to America having a grand
427
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.400
old time, and it's that's been great, that's been awesome.
428
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.279
But then we ran into this little red card issue
429
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.599
with our player, and the president had to get himself
430
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:48.640
involved as an old saying Donald Trump's the type of
431
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.960
guy that at a wedding, he's got to be the bride,
432
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.960
and at a funeral, he's got to be the corpse.
433
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.559
He's got to be the center of attention. And it
434
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.720
was dumb. Sorry people that there's no excuse for this.
435
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.279
Let's be honest. Okay, we're holding the event here in
436
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:11.160
our country, but it's not our game. Okay, it's not.
437
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.759
And you get the people out there complaining about I
438
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.759
don't understand what the time and the extra time and
439
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.440
why there's gotta be ties in the first round. It's
440
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.079
not for you to understand. If you don't like it,
441
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:26.880
don't watch it. You don't like it, don't watch it.
442
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.960
They have rules, and the rule is if you get
443
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.519
a red card, well, you know what, you're out the
444
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.720
next game. That was a bad call. Well, let me
445
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:41.279
tell you something, people, Okay, bad calls are a part
446
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:46.079
of life. They're part of life. Okay, imagine being Croatia.
447
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.279
They got knocked out because the ball hits somebody's hair.
448
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.640
Ridiculous first and foremost, And I'm consistent with this, I hate,
449
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:59.039
I hate, I hate instant replay. Okay, baseball with the
450
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.519
you know out, we're challenge and pitches. Now we're doing
451
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:08.360
this nah, Now it's come on. One of the things
452
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.519
that you again, life is not fair, and there's gonna
453
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.760
be times when you're gonna get a bad call. Things
454
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.559
are not going to go your way. And again, I'm
455
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.280
a coach, and I again take my lacrosse team from
456
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.599
Long Island down to Maryland that I let the kids
457
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.159
know these refs are not giving us anything here in Maryland. Okay,
458
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:33.320
they're not. We're gonna get bad calls. In practice, what
459
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:37.199
I would do there were scrimmages going on, I would
460
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.760
purposely make horrible calls they're in scrimmages, just to see
461
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.119
how the kids would react, just to see if they
462
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.800
would keep their composure. Same thing I look for when
463
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:54.159
I'm running my business right, because guess what, Life's not fair.
464
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.599
Things don't work out that way. Well, let's put that
465
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.159
aside again. Stop complaining about soccer. You don't like it,
466
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:08.199
don't watch it. We've got our weird rules too. Tryly
467
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.679
explaining to someone from Norway the infield fly rule in baseball. Okay,
468
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:17.320
good luck with that. But anyway, neither here nor there,
469
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.280
all the people out about, oh, you know, only our
470
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:26.880
best athletes played soccer. We'd beat everybody yeah, I know
471
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.719
Messi's humongous, right, He's a giant among men. It's five
472
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:39.719
five seven. I mean, no, people, we should be better
473
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.000
than anybody. But what has happened with youth sports here
474
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:51.679
in this country is they're ruining it. Soccer is a
475
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.400
sport where you have to be wealthy to play at
476
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:59.119
any high level in the United States. Everywhere else around
477
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.599
the world it's a completely different model. They play on
478
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:07.599
their own when their kids, they develop their own talent,
479
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.559
and then guess what, when they get noticed when they're young,
480
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:13.599
they go to their various different soccer academies that are
481
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.400
paid for by the pro teams. They own the rights
482
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.599
to that kid. If the kid develops into somebody, they
483
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.239
have transfer rights and they can sell it that player
484
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.760
to another club, whatever it may be, and that's how
485
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:28.760
they make their money. Back in this country, you've got
486
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.679
to spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to
487
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.119
play at a club, to go travel when the kids
488
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.360
are eight nine years old, which you really don't need
489
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.679
to do. And it's happening across all sports here in
490
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:44.639
this country. Let me ask you a question. I don't
491
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.079
even remember what was the last time it's the last
492
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:52.039
time an American won the MVP and basketball basket ball.
493
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.679
That's our game, right iMore. Look at the drafts played
494
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.760
all over the world for crying out all right again,
495
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:03.559
guess what the Europeans are kicking our butt docks in
496
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:07.320
it as far as empty I mean they are. It's
497
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:11.679
the same model. Okay again, I coach lacrosse, and I
498
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.239
talk about this all the time. I said, there were
499
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.559
hot beds in my state of New York. It was
500
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.719
a blue collar sport where you could go and you know,
501
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.119
you go and play. Now you can't. Now you got
502
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.480
to be rich. I get thousands and thousands of dollars
503
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:26.480
to play club to get and do it. And then
504
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.840
they give these half hearted Viking things. Oh yeah, we're
505
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.639
starting to Harlem lacrosse program, right, sure, sure, and those
506
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:36.880
kids are going to travel, go to the travel tournaments
507
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:38.679
and be able to pay in to see the right
508
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.920
college coaches and get scholarships. No, the same thing is
509
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.480
now happening private equity, which I go off off on
510
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.679
all the time. They're buying up hockey leagues. They're gonna
511
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.440
same thing's gonna happen to hockey here in the United States.
512
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:56.119
It's a game. It happened with basketball. You see any
513
00:37:56.119 --> 00:38:01.719
powerhouse high school basketball teams anymore outside of the AAU
514
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.599
places and the private schools now used to be in
515
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:11.440
New York City, it should be highly competitive, not anymore. Again,
516
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.119
it's all perfectly legal. Is it the right thing?
517
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.039
Now?
518
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:23.159
It's again it's people that are preying upon rich parents saying,
519
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.519
if you spend all of this money, we're gonna make
520
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.880
your kid a star. They have an entire high school
521
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:32.280
here in the state of Florida, I amg Academy that's
522
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.679
dedicated to that. It's like a rich babysitting service for
523
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.360
wealthy people from all over the globe. The rich kids
524
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.480
that couldn't make it in soccer in their home countries,
525
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.360
they send them to play there, okay, and be babysat.
526
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:50.000
So yeah, okay, We're not gonna win the World Cup
527
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.920
anytime soon or come even close until it's a sport
528
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:58.880
that's accessible to all. Sorry, watch Dog on Wall Street
529
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.280
dot Com. How's that for an ending rant for you?
530
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.440
Off the beaten track? God bless everyone. We'll see you
531
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:09.000
next week. Watch Dog on Wallstreet dot Com.
532
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:10.119
You that war.
533
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:13.440
And a maz.
534
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.960
You're listening to the watch dog on Wall Street
535
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:25.800
Against
1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:12.519
Oh, well, no one altered. Investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, trader.
2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.679
Chris Markowski is the watchdog on the wall street.
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.839
Do you want to answer exposing the lines and myths
4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.280
that the big brokerage firms, the mainstream press, and the
5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.359
government are pushing to keep Americans away from financial freedom.
6
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.320
You can't handle the true.
7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.359
Bringing America the truth about what really happens in the
8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:34.280
financial world.
9
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.759
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not here to indulge in fantasy,
10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.280
but in political and economic reality.
11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.880
This is the watchdog on wall streets.
12
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:50.479
All right, welcome back everybody. Yeah, you listen to that intro.
13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.600
It's been on twenty four years. That wasn't our original intro,
14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:01:01.920
but it's sorted about twenty four years ago. I've covered
15
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.560
basically every scam, financial scam and fraud here on the program,
16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:13.040
on our podcast, on our newsletter articles. I've explained that
17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.120
we put Markowski Investments together. We went out and we
18
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.799
specific went out to help out victims of the boiler
19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.159
room operators, the Jordan Belfort's of the world, helping them
20
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
to rebuild their accounts with our account repair kit. We
21
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.079
warned you about Mateoff, we warned about Enron, one thing
22
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.359
after another, and again, I've got the receipts. You can
23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.560
go and check. You can go and check, you can
24
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.599
go back. You can listen to our audio, you can
25
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.000
see the videos, the interviews that I've done. It's all
26
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:55.200
up there. If I covering financial fraud, It's a very difficult,
27
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:01.680
difficult thing. It's exhausting, it really is. Because I come
28
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.400
on here and I try to keep my cool. I
29
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:11.879
try not TL try to lay everything out, but people
30
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:21.159
people don't listen. They don't listen. They want to believe.
31
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.919
They get sold on something and they want to believe.
32
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.520
I remember this is it was two thousand and six,
33
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.599
fifteen twenty sixteen is when all of this crypto and
34
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.439
meme coins really started coming out. And we did a
35
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.800
bit on the show because I was making fun of this.
36
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.800
I said, you know, I might as well just come
37
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.199
up with my own coin. I could call it watchdog
38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.479
coin or watch dog bucks. And I was doing it
39
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.599
tongue in cheek and cracking jokes about it here on
40
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:56.599
the program. But I wasn't off. I mean, Kardashian had
41
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.280
her own coin, wasn't that long ago. I was that
42
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.759
one girl who has got popular for saying something gross
43
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:11.960
she had her own coin. And again it's just those
44
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.319
things like really, you're gonna really invest in Kim Kardashian.
45
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.479
But yeah, Forrest Gump, you know, stupid is as stupid
46
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:23.960
does as an investment advisor. This is a little bit
47
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.199
different what the president and his kids have done with
48
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.759
their crypto ventures. And again, I'm going to get people
49
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.360
angry with me for being honest and truthful. You can't
50
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.680
defend this. You can't. The best defenses that I've seen
51
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.960
of his behavior as oh, it's just being a great
52
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.199
capitalist stealing from people's capitalism. There, Jesse Waters that that's
53
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:54.400
that's that's capitalism stealing from people, because that that's what
54
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.080
I call this. You actually had Charles Gasparino between, Oh,
55
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.080
you know people, you know better, Hey, all these crypto
56
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:09.520
ascids are speculative, Charlie. Shut up, man, Okay, shut up.
57
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.599
You're a hack. Okay, you're lying through your teeth, you
58
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:18.160
know better. Yeah, and I could see right through these people. Okay,
59
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.199
you know you're a piece of garbage by saying this. Okay,
60
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.199
I get it, I get it. This is how your
61
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.319
bread is butter, It's how you make a living. Okay,
62
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.519
it's how you get paid. But you know as well
63
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:38.279
as I do that Trump came out with this. Okay, again,
64
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.079
he was he had people believing anything that he was saying,
65
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.639
and he took advantage of that belief and the people
66
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.759
that voted for him, and he proceeded to sell them
67
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:58.560
three point eight billion dollars and Trump crypto coin that
68
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.040
is worthless. Well, it's not worth us. So I'll put
69
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.480
it in perspective. If you put ten thousand bucks into
70
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.160
Trump coin Melani coin, it's worth what like three hundred
71
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:14.160
dollars today, and you're okay with this. This is the
72
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.399
biggest political grift I've ever seen in my entire life. Again,
73
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:25.600
I don't don't, I don't get it. The interesting thing
74
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.399
that I'm taking away from this is just the the
75
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.879
fact that it's not getting pursued. Again, a lot of
76
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.639
this information. It was interesting too. This dropped right before
77
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.480
the fourth of July holiday because there's other things going on.
78
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:48.680
That was by design. It's by design. You've noticed all
79
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.319
of the political grift and graft that comes on. It'll
80
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.800
be a story for a while. It'll be a story
81
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.000
for a while, and it just goes away. No one
82
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.439
has ever prosecuted thing has ever done. We'll have we'll
83
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.680
have stories out there. I can't let these politicians trade stocks,
84
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.120
inside information, all this stuff, and everybody's waving their fingers,
85
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.480
but nothing ever changes, and they get wealthier and wealthier.
86
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.079
People are recognizing this and saying, holy cow, holy cow,
87
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.040
we can do this too. You don't think that. The
88
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:36.120
Democrats saying, man, how did he pull this off? And
89
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.439
again it's it's not just the the crypto, the Trump kids.
90
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.720
Six and twenty million dollar Pentagon loan, the largest in
91
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.800
the program's history, to a company that Don Junior's firm
92
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.600
bought into just three months ago. An Air Force drone
93
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.920
contract to US. I talked about startup company to a
94
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.319
startup company. They just took public to a golf course company.
95
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.360
You can't make this stuff up. The Army's largest drone
96
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.120
motor order to a company Don Junior sits on the
97
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.279
board and holds millions in stock. Twenty four million dollar
98
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.519
robotics contract we reported on. This company employs Eric As
99
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:31.759
as a chief strategic chief strategy officer. They just now
100
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.120
have a stake in the largest underdeveloped tungsten deposit on
101
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.240
earth in Kazakhstan. Again, your tax dollars, one point six
102
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.600
billion dollar government loan. The list goes on and on
103
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:55.480
and on. Should I not report on this? Is this
104
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.439
is okay in your eyes because he closed the border.
105
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.000
I mean, yeah, I'm happy close supporter. That can be true.
106
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.240
But you know what also can be true is that
107
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:14.519
this is just wrong's wrong, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
108
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:22.040
I have yet to hear a cohjient defense of this.
109
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.800
And the reality is is that it's just going to continue.
110
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.879
It's not whoever the next president is going to continue
111
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.399
whoever next comes in office that that doesn't again, we
112
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.559
need to start you need to start voting for people
113
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.879
that haven't had that ethical bypass at birth. I know
114
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.799
I've used that phrase before here on the program, and
115
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.600
I encountered a lot of people that had ethical bypasses
116
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.159
at birth. And my experiences that I that I had
117
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.679
on Wall Street over the years. One of the reason
118
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.600
why I had to get out of there the ability
119
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:07.200
for people to justify bad behavior, bad behavior in their
120
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:14.679
minds just because it was legal, just because it was legal.
121
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.480
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. You
122
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.200
know that, I know that there's good money and there's
123
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.000
bad money, and it's all your people are gonna come
124
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.279
out and hammer me. Ah, there's true. And street of
125
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.960
gravel is also. I'm gonna ask you, I'm just gonna
126
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.519
throw this out there, and you know you can take
127
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.879
it for what it's worth. Have you do you have
128
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:44.639
to speak to the people that lose everything? You do
129
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:49.519
you have to do? You speak to senior citizen who
130
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.840
voted for Trump, believed in Trump wearing the maga hat,
131
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.639
believe that this was gonna be a wonderful investment, took
132
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.399
all their money out of the bank and decided to
133
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.080
do and put it in this and now it's gone.
134
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.960
What I'm gonna ask you, what, what do you say
135
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.919
to that person that's just Trump being Trump? Trump being
136
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.120
a capitalist? They should have known better. I guess yeah,
137
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.120
they probably should have known better, but they didn't. And
138
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.039
just because someone doesn't know better, does that mean that
139
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:29.399
they are pray capitalism people? It's not. It's not predator
140
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.320
and pray capitalism is two people getting sitting down at
141
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.519
a table, doing business with one another and both walking
142
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:42.679
away happy, praying on people that are weaker than you,
143
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:53.399
weak minded, maybe in this case financially ignorant. You're okay
144
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:59.679
with that. I remember it was at the at the
145
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.399
end of and I used the clip from Colonel jessp
146
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:10.360
Here on the program. A few good men and they
147
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:16.120
got disbarred from the Marines. Why did they end up
148
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.799
getting disbarred? They didn't go to jail? The code read right,
149
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.360
because the Marine is supposed to defend those that are
150
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:34.840
weaker than they are. And I don't. I'm sorry, people,
151
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:40.240
you can't justify. You can't justify to me how it's okay,
152
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.120
and that that's capitalism where you're taking advantage of people
153
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.480
that don't know you're praying upon people and the fact
154
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.200
that they believe in you and your politics and whatever
155
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.080
it may be. Again, that's that's an affinity fraud, quite frankly,
156
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.200
and I've talked about that for some time here on
157
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.639
the part. I see it happen in churches all over
158
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.039
the country. And again I'm gonna ask you again, to
159
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.200
all you people that can defend this, what do you say?
160
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:13.759
What should I say? What should I say to that
161
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.879
elderly man, that elderly widow out there that took fifty
162
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.279
thousand dollars out of their their checking or their their
163
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.679
savings account, or maybe their CD or whatever it may be,
164
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:34.159
sold stock to buy Trump meme coins because they voted
165
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.519
for the guy and they believed in him. What do
166
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.960
I say to them? Got to take a break? Watch

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.960
You should believe in math not magic. You're listening to
173
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.480
the Watchdog in Wall Street with Chris Markowski.
174
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.720
All right, as as you may be aware and listening
175
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:36.600
to this first time listening this program. Yeah, I'm politically homeless.
176
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.799
You know, I've been politically homeless for quite some time.
177
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.240
I'm a conservative, libertarian guy. Believe in the constitution, Miss Reagan,
178
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.679
I miss Milton Friedman. I miss the days of four
179
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.679
or five percent GDP growth that you want to get
180
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.759
back to. That's what I want to get back to.
181
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.480
I'm an equal opportunity basher and I go after both
182
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.919
sides as far as politics on this program are concerned.
183
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.200
We kind of talk about big issues and ideas and
184
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.159
how to go about fixing problems. Here in this country.
185
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.320
I often don't like going after individual races. I'll do
186
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.240
it some time to time here on the podcast. I
187
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.279
was obviously a very strong defender of Thomas Massey and
188
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.600
what he has done. And you know what happened to him.
189
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.759
It was a political assassination by Apak. But this Graham
190
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.200
Graham Platter thing that taking place at this point in time,
191
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.360
I kind of watched it from afar. We commented on
192
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.159
the program and I was saying, you know, bad candidate
193
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.919
on the left, band candidate and the right, you got Platner,
194
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.919
and you got Ken Paxson down there in Texas, and
195
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.799
I saw some of the stories about this guy, and
196
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.720
again it just shows you just how awful our politics
197
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:12.240
is in this country. Democrats, Democrats again, they are they're
198
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.200
most certainly drifting to the far far left. I mean,
199
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.000
the Republican Party is most certainly gone to the left.
200
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.120
But you've got the far left right. Now you've got
201
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.960
what a communists running for office here in this country.
202
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.360
And again, being a child of the seventies and eighties,
203
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.600
I can't even get my arms around that, quite frankly,
204
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.759
but they've got a problem. Democrats do they want to
205
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.360
tap into that working class man. That's they want to
206
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.279
get that back. And they basically found this guy to
207
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.080
run against Susan Collins in Maine. And it's almost like
208
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.200
that they tried, they tried, almost crafted him. You know,
209
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.159
we need this. He checks all of these boxes that
210
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.000
we have. And again it was one thing after the
211
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.559
guy had a bloody Nazi tattoo, you had democratic politicians
212
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.519
oh oh k. And I'm like what and you take
213
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.879
a look at all of the things on this guy
214
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.080
lied about the Nazi tattoo set, he'd rape people, sexted
215
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.480
with people women while he was married, bragged about drawing
216
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.080
penises and porta potties, praised Islamic terrorists, said he's a communist,
217
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.240
joined an app known to be used by predators to
218
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.159
contact miners, and had all sorts of sexual assault allegations.
219
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.559
But now another story. Too many receipts with Politico and
220
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.600
the New York Times, and they got to get rid
221
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:46.360
of this guy. This is just how phony politics is. Okay,
222
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.759
first and foremost guy was not working class, all right, Yeah,
223
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.159
he's an oyster fisherman. He went to Hotchkiss for crying
224
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.360
out loud. What is that? Fifty sixty thousand dollars a
225
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.960
year private school. His only customer for his oil is
226
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:06.759
his mom's restaurant. I actually watched the video of the
227
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:13.000
two people from Maine that found this guy. I mean,
228
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:19.319
you couldn't be any more stereotypical of far left. It's nuts,
229
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.119
it really is. But this just shows how phone they were.
230
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.440
This is the Democrats they want. They need to find
231
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:31.759
somebody that's like the Rip from Yellowstone or Kelsey from Yellowstone,
232
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.519
A man's man. Let me tell you something, Okay, true masculinity,
233
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.160
masculine guys. I want want to sensitive ponytail guys or
234
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.079
the hot chocolate guy selling Obamacare. Remember that one. Masculinity
235
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:58.839
is about building, protecting, building, protecting, creating, teaching. That's what
236
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:03.759
it's about. What what on the far left has anything?
237
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.000
What is your communism and taking other people's stuff that's
238
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.640
not yours? What do you people build? What does Elizabeth
239
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:18.240
Warren build and create? What does Bernie Sanders build and create?
240
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.880
What does Roe Kanna build and create? What exactly do
241
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.359
you leftist? Do you progressives do? You don't do anything,
242
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.920
You don't fix anything. You just look to take other
243
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:37.000
people's stuff. Google, go ahead and get yourself a job
244
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:42.599
for crying out loud, start a business, payroll, come up
245
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.440
with a marketing plan for crime, spending your time trying
246
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:51.480
to engineer in some sort of laboratory. A pseudo masculine communist.
247
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:57.599
They don't exist. Masculiny has nothing to do with it.
248
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.440
I mean, it's the polar opposite for crying out loud.
249
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.079
But they just haven't figured out. Amazing the effort that
250
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:13.880
people go, These politicians go to just dupe people. You
251
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.799
go backie, look at all the statements. They knew all
252
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:20.119
of the baggage that this guy had voting from anyway.
253
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.880
But hey, hey, wait a second, Like I said, I'm
254
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.960
equal opportunity. Okay, you flipped this, you flip this, and
255
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.680
this guy his grandpa was a Republican, I guarantee. On
256
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.519
the five on Fox, Oh that's fake news. They do
257
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.240
the same exact thing. They would be saying the exact
258
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:45.359
same thing because he's on their team again. Two hundred
259
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.160
and fiftieth anniversary. Pick up a copy of the Federalist papers.
260
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.680
Read a little bit about what the founders actually had
261
00:19:53.720 --> 00:20:01.079
to say. Founders actually had to say about political parties,
262
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:06.640
what their thoughts were on political parties anyway, Gotta take

with Chris Markowski.
272
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.480
The past few weeks of various guest appearances I make
273
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.559
on on programs on a regular base, I was getting questions, obviously,
274
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:26.000
you know, thoughts on America two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
275
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.119
and what what it means and what you know, the
276
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.640
greatness of America, asking me to point out things that
277
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.839
I thought were just wonderful about this country. There's there's
278
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.839
too many, but you know, to to narrow it down.
279
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.400
I think I've talked about this before here on the program.
280
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:42.319
One of the great things about this country is it's
281
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.480
okay to fail. It's okay to fail, and that says
282
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.920
if you've got to go out there, you have to
283
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.079
build and create and guess what you're gonna fall on
284
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.880
your face. There's gonna be times when you are gonna
285
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.400
fall flat on your face. You're gonna get knocked down
286
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.200
to the dirt, and you've got to pick yourself up.
287
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.680
It's okay, it's okay to fail in America. That's what
288
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.000
entrepreneurs do. That's what people go out and build and
289
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:18.960
create do. They go out, get knocked down, pick themselves up,
290
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.720
and move on and say. One more, really great thing
291
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:34.680
about our constitutional republic is we are self correcting. We
292
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:42.160
are we make mistakes, we make mistakes, and we've been
293
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.359
able to correct mistakes in our two hundred and fifty
294
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:51.079
year anniversary. Now again, I think twentieth century and twenty
295
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.839
first century, we still have a lot of correcting to do.
296
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.720
And I could go back and we can talk about,
297
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:04.359
you know, the the Woodrow Wilson years and the various
298
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.640
different things that got us off track and has led
299
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.079
to the size of our federal government, Washington d c.
300
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.839
To grow all powerful, getting rid of getting rid of
301
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.440
the state, various different states appointing senators. Now we have
302
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.720
the direct election of centers, and that was never in
303
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.559
the constitution. Wilson put that in and then you know,
304
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:31.400
he also income tax and Federal Reserve, and then led
305
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.480
to all sorts of other things. And again, you know,
306
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.279
post World War two military industrial complex. We have a
307
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.039
lot of self correcting that we have to do, but
308
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.960
we can do it, and we've done it over our history.
309
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.480
When I go off and I said equal opportunity bashing
310
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.440
here on the program. If you're not, then I'm sorry.
311
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:59.359
There's just I don't have any room for you. You know. Yeah,
312
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.480
I see on acts and social media, these various different
313
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.559
political influencers. No matter what their guy says, doesn't matter
314
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.759
if it's a donkey, does it matter if it's an elephant.
315
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.039
Whatever that person does or says, they are on there
316
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:24.720
backing them. Why let me ask a question, would you
317
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:31.440
want would you want a significant other to be like that? One? Am?
318
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.079
I One of my favorite all time movies I cited here.
319
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.240
It's a classic. It's a classic capitalism movie, too hard
320
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.759
work movie coming to America And the beginning of the
321
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:48.039
film Eddie Murphy. He has his wife chosen for him,
322
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.519
and his wife is all our life, been trained to
323
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.440
like what you like and do what you and all
324
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.680
this stuff. And he meets her and you know what,
325
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.759
what's your favorite food, whatever you like, you know, what's
326
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:05.079
your favorite or whatever you like? Anyho, well, whatever you know,
327
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.079
you mean to tell me whatever I asked you to do,
328
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.279
you're gonna do. And he's like quark like a dog.
329
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.960
I'm like, it's would you want to be married to
330
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:20.200
somebody like that? It's okay to have different points of view,
331
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.400
and we need to understand that it's not right versus left,
332
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:38.319
it's right versus wrong. Last week at Churchard Homily talking
333
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.799
about this, this very thing, the very thing. You know
334
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:45.440
you'll you'll have left this out there at that point,
335
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.400
Timer or tearing down statues, tearing down statues, or Thomas
336
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.640
Jefferson this one and that when they owned slaves, they
337
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.000
did this, They did that, Yeah, they they did. They
338
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:56.720
did it was wrong, but they also did some some
339
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.200
great stuff too. And we're all flawed human beings. But
340
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:05.480
we told nothing wrong, would pointed out the wrong things,
341
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.759
we can also compint out the right things. It's not
342
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.240
right versus left, it's right versus wrong. And actually you
343
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:16.680
think about it, you know, probably the worst Supreme Court
344
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:21.599
case in the history of our country was eighteen ninety
345
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:27.279
six Plusy versus Ferguson, which basically enshrined separate but equal,
346
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.720
and what did that do to the country Until Brown
347
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:38.799
versus Board of Education there was a seven to one decision,
348
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:46.680
a seven to one decision, And don't tell me, don't
349
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.359
tell me that those seven justices didn't know that it
350
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.279
was wrong. They did what was politically expedient. There was
351
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.359
one it was as John Marshall Harlan was the only
352
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.359
dissenting voice, only dissenting voice in that decision.
353
00:26:59.400 --> 00:26:59.880
They knew.
354
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.559
And that's what it comes down to. People. What we
355
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.839
need to have more of in this country is courage.
356
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.920
Courage to stick your neck out and do the right thing,
357
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:23.240
say the right thing. We all have to do it.
358
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.519
You want to make this place better, so you need
359
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.160
to do not every week can again. So we praise
360
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:32.680
our soldiers and all these people that do this great workerence,
361
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.839
but each and all of our us have to contribute
362
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.519
to making this country great. I always talk about build, create, protect,
363
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.759
and teach, but also people, you've got to stick your
364
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.279
neck out. I've said it a thousand times in here.
365
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.599
If you see a fraud and you don't say fraud, well,
366
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.640
then you're a fraud.
367
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:52.680
Well.
368
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.200
I don't want to.
369
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.720
Upset the Apple card. No no, no, no no no. We
370
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:00.240
need more people to be upsetting the Apple care. You
371
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.839
want things to get better, Knock over some Apple carts.

378
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:50.119
Okay, something very important to me and I've railed about
379
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.759
for years here on the program, and I'm talking to
380
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:57.559
the wall because nothing is ever done, nothing's ever done
381
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.680
when it comes to education here in this country. I'm
382
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.440
gonna I'm gonna ask you a few questions here, putting
383
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.720
some things forward, what would what we think should be done?
384
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.920
You had a hospital hospital where more than half of
385
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:20.279
the patients died from routine procedures. Or how about a
386
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:25.759
fire department, fire department, eh, maybe maybe got to like
387
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.519
fifty percent of the calls. Or about about a municipal
388
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:38.440
water utility that delivered contaminated water to half the residents,
389
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.480
or you know, you got bad air traffic controllers and
390
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:47.519
crashes all the time. What is that? Okay? We allow
391
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:51.680
allow that to continue? Okay, Well, there's the points we're
392
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:56.160
made talking about the current state of education and many
393
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.960
many of our major cities around the country. No institute
394
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.599
should should be permitted to run this way. Nine hundred
395
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:11.519
New York City public schools failing students, grade, inflation, lacking accountability.
396
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:20.319
It's it's incredible to me. Forty three percent, forty three
397
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.480
percent of the students, nine or twelve thousand students are
398
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.519
in failing schools. Of the nine hundred and six schools
399
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.599
out there, a majority of students and five hundred and
400
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.480
three of them failed both math and reading. Why aren't
401
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.519
we going to shut this down? I mentioned several weeks
402
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:40.119
ago here on the program in New York City they
403
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.000
spend over forty thousand dollars per student per year. Why
404
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.039
aren't we going to shut this down? What is somebody
405
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:50.200
going to say this is we're failing in any other
406
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:53.480
thing outside of government, you'd be out of business, it'd
407
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.599
be done, it'd be over with. Would just send your
408
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:01.559
kids to a private school where fifty percent of the
409
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:06.960
kids couldn't pass basic tests? And it's filtering through to
410
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:12.039
all over. The Economist magazine out of London tested one
411
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:16.079
hundred and sixty thousand people of all ages across thirty
412
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:19.920
eight member states. They found a full eight percent of
413
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.880
college students are reading at the level of a ten
414
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.599
year old. If not worse, you understand, in the United
415
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:33.440
States the percentage is at twenty percent. Come on, people,
416
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.279
we're doing it wrong. We can do better than this. Okay,
417
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.319
this is wasted talent. We can do better than this.
418
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.839
Have to take a break. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.
419
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:43.279
We'll be back.
420
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.720
This is the Watchdog on Wall Streets.
421
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:11.000
You know, I've got to stack a stug. I'm never
422
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:16.640
gonna be the last segment, third hour, and you know what,
423
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.640
I'm gonna talk a little school, We're gonna talk a
424
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.400
little World Cup, and I'm gonna throw some business in
425
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.240
with this as well. All right, World Cup. I mean
426
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.559
we mentioned earlier people coming to America having a grand
427
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.400
old time, and it's that's been great, that's been awesome.
428
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.279
But then we ran into this little red card issue
429
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.599
with our player, and the president had to get himself
430
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:48.640
involved as an old saying Donald Trump's the type of
431
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.960
guy that at a wedding, he's got to be the bride,
432
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.960
and at a funeral, he's got to be the corpse.
433
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.559
He's got to be the center of attention. And it
434
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.720
was dumb. Sorry people that there's no excuse for this.
435
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.279
Let's be honest. Okay, we're holding the event here in
436
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:11.160
our country, but it's not our game. Okay, it's not.
437
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.759
And you get the people out there complaining about I
438
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.759
don't understand what the time and the extra time and
439
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.440
why there's gotta be ties in the first round. It's
440
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.079
not for you to understand. If you don't like it,
441
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:26.880
don't watch it. You don't like it, don't watch it.
442
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.960
They have rules, and the rule is if you get
443
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.519
a red card, well, you know what, you're out the
444
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.720
next game. That was a bad call. Well, let me
445
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:41.279
tell you something, people, Okay, bad calls are a part
446
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:46.079
of life. They're part of life. Okay, imagine being Croatia.
447
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.279
They got knocked out because the ball hits somebody's hair.
448
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.640
Ridiculous first and foremost, And I'm consistent with this, I hate,
449
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:59.039
I hate, I hate instant replay. Okay, baseball with the
450
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.519
you know out, we're challenge and pitches. Now we're doing
451
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:08.360
this nah, Now it's come on. One of the things
452
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.519
that you again, life is not fair, and there's gonna
453
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.760
be times when you're gonna get a bad call. Things
454
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.559
are not going to go your way. And again, I'm
455
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.280
a coach, and I again take my lacrosse team from
456
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.599
Long Island down to Maryland that I let the kids
457
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.159
know these refs are not giving us anything here in Maryland. Okay,
458
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:33.320
they're not. We're gonna get bad calls. In practice, what
459
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:37.199
I would do there were scrimmages going on, I would
460
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.760
purposely make horrible calls they're in scrimmages, just to see
461
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.119
how the kids would react, just to see if they
462
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.800
would keep their composure. Same thing I look for when
463
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:54.159
I'm running my business right, because guess what, Life's not fair.
464
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.599
Things don't work out that way. Well, let's put that
465
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.159
aside again. Stop complaining about soccer. You don't like it,
466
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:08.199
don't watch it. We've got our weird rules too. Tryly
467
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.679
explaining to someone from Norway the infield fly rule in baseball. Okay,
468
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:17.320
good luck with that. But anyway, neither here nor there,
469
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.280
all the people out about, oh, you know, only our
470
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:26.880
best athletes played soccer. We'd beat everybody yeah, I know
471
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.719
Messi's humongous, right, He's a giant among men. It's five
472
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:39.719
five seven. I mean, no, people, we should be better
473
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.000
than anybody. But what has happened with youth sports here
474
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:51.679
in this country is they're ruining it. Soccer is a
475
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.400
sport where you have to be wealthy to play at
476
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:59.119
any high level in the United States. Everywhere else around
477
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.599
the world it's a completely different model. They play on
478
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:07.599
their own when their kids, they develop their own talent,
479
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.559
and then guess what, when they get noticed when they're young,
480
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:13.599
they go to their various different soccer academies that are
481
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.400
paid for by the pro teams. They own the rights
482
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.599
to that kid. If the kid develops into somebody, they
483
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.239
have transfer rights and they can sell it that player
484
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.760
to another club, whatever it may be, and that's how
485
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:28.760
they make their money. Back in this country, you've got
486
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.679
to spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to
487
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.119
play at a club, to go travel when the kids
488
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.360
are eight nine years old, which you really don't need
489
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.679
to do. And it's happening across all sports here in
490
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:44.639
this country. Let me ask you a question. I don't
491
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.079
even remember what was the last time it's the last
492
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:52.039
time an American won the MVP and basketball basket ball.
493
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.679
That's our game, right iMore. Look at the drafts played
494
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.760
all over the world for crying out all right again,
495
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:03.559
guess what the Europeans are kicking our butt docks in
496
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:07.320
it as far as empty I mean they are. It's
497
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:11.679
the same model. Okay again, I coach lacrosse, and I
498
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.239
talk about this all the time. I said, there were
499
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.559
hot beds in my state of New York. It was
500
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.719
a blue collar sport where you could go and you know,
501
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.119
you go and play. Now you can't. Now you got
502
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.480
to be rich. I get thousands and thousands of dollars
503
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:26.480
to play club to get and do it. And then
504
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.840
they give these half hearted Viking things. Oh yeah, we're
505
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.639
starting to Harlem lacrosse program, right, sure, sure, and those
506
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:36.880
kids are going to travel, go to the travel tournaments
507
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:38.679
and be able to pay in to see the right
508
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.920
college coaches and get scholarships. No, the same thing is
509
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.480
now happening private equity, which I go off off on
510
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.679
all the time. They're buying up hockey leagues. They're gonna
511
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.440
same thing's gonna happen to hockey here in the United States.
512
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:56.119
It's a game. It happened with basketball. You see any
513
00:37:56.119 --> 00:38:01.719
powerhouse high school basketball teams anymore outside of the AAU
514
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.599
places and the private schools now used to be in
515
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:11.440
New York City, it should be highly competitive, not anymore. Again,
516
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.119
it's all perfectly legal. Is it the right thing?
517
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.039
Now?
518
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:23.159
It's again it's people that are preying upon rich parents saying,
519
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.519
if you spend all of this money, we're gonna make
520
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.880
your kid a star. They have an entire high school
521
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:32.280
here in the state of Florida, I amg Academy that's
522
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.679
dedicated to that. It's like a rich babysitting service for
523
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.360
wealthy people from all over the globe. The rich kids
524
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.480
that couldn't make it in soccer in their home countries,
525
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.360
they send them to play there, okay, and be babysat.
526
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:50.000
So yeah, okay, We're not gonna win the World Cup
527
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.920
anytime soon or come even close until it's a sport
528
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:58.880
that's accessible to all. Sorry, watch Dog on Wall Street
