For more than 15 years, Chris Markowski has imbued his vision of honesty and equality in hosting The Watchdog On Wall Street radio show. Each week, Chris explains the news coming out of the complex worlds of finance, economics and politics and the impact it will have on everyday Americans.
Chris Markowski’s history on Wall Street reads like a novel with suspense, intrigue, and corruption at the highest levels. Chris started his career by taking a job at an up-and-coming investment firm. Within two years, under his guidance, his initiatives helped increase sales by 1,500% and made the firm #2 on “INC Magazine’s” fastest growing privately held companies list. However, while working and spending significant time in the same water as some of Wall Street’s most notorious “sharks”, Chris discovered how corrupt Wall Street could be.
The fact that so many executives with fancy college degrees and glowing resumes had the capacity, with no remorse, to scam their customers and the public at large, was mind-boggling. The “respected” firm that he helped build was nothing more than an opportunity for insiders to get rich and investors to lose their shirts. Instead of accepting the culture of gluttony and deceit like many others on Wall Street, Chris went on to blow the cover off the charade, exposing the countless instances of lies, greed and manipulation. Chris exposed the villains and facilitated in bringing down the very firm that he helped build, sacrificing millions for honesty and integrity.
After that eye-opening, life-changing experience, Chris dedicated himself to making sure Americans received the truth regarding what was really happening behind the scenes on Wall Street; not the fabrications and half-truths that the big firms and financial media outlets were churning out on a daily basis. Chris’ task in “analyzing the analysts” has made him the chief thorn in the side of the Wall Street elite. Never afraid to take on a giant, Chris has gone head to head with the large brokerage houses, the dot-com scams, Enron, WorldCom and corrupt politicians. He has warned America about the largest scandals and corruption years before they made headlines. Always fighting against the lies, greed and manipulation that scarred him, The Watchdog On Wall Street has one singular concern & focus: To serve the American consumer & investor.

Republicans spent years campaigning on “repeal and replace,” yet when the moment came, they had nothing—no plan, no replacement, no preparation. This segment breaks down a decade of missed opportunities, internal dysfunction, and empty promises as the party still fumbles health-care reform while premiums soar and insurers rake in record profits. From the McCain vote to today’s hollow pledges of “working hard on healthcare,” it’s an indictment of a party that criticizes Obamacare but never bothered to build an alternative.

Governor Andy Beshear went on TV to defend Biden’s inflation record and claimed the White House is “building the economy of tomorrow” with EVs, chips, and subsidies.
What a joke.
Politicians don’t build economies — they only distort them, inflate them, or screw them up.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why no president — Republican, Democrat, or Marxist — “builds” an economy
• How subsidies, public-private partnerships, and government meddling always raise prices
• Why the free market works best when politicians keep their hands off
• How billions of daily decisions — not DC bureaucrats — create real economic growth
• Why government interference turns markets into a “Dr. Moreau experiment” of distortions
And what the rule of law actually requires from Washington: neutrality, not intervention!

This morning, after listening to a parade of Republican senators and representatives regurgitate talking points about healthcare, farm policy, and government spending, I hit a breaking point: I’m never voting for “less bad” again. Watching these people dodge reality while their constituents suffer was embarrassing — for them, and for the country.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why the GOP’s current leadership is terrified of saying anything real
• How Republicans now rely on the same canned bullet points as Democrats
• Why nothing meaningful has been accomplished under Mike Johnson’s Congress
• How the party continues to rubber-stamp spending, foreign aid, and bureaucratic growth
• Why Republicans treat criticism like “mean tweets” instead of feedback
And why refusing to vote for weak candidates may be the only way forward.

Donald Trump took his free-wheeling stand-up-style routine to a Poconos casino, offering jokes, jabs, and a rosy portrait of the economy that doesn’t quite square with the data. From the pencil rant to the choreographed “Lower Prices, Higher Paychecks” signs behind him, the spectacle contrasts sharply with rising bankruptcies, soaring debt, shaky consumer confidence, and signs of a coming electoral backlash. This breakdown cuts through the spin, the slogans, and the stagecraft to look at what’s actually happening—and why even some conservative voices are sounding the alarm.

All the promises about reshoring, weakening China, and making other nations “pay” have collapsed under the numbers. China found new markets, allies followed suit, and U.S. importers are stuck with the bill. Until spending is cut and policy becomes targeted, this is just another self-inflicted economic wound.

Trump just released a 33-page national security strategy — and the media is counting on you not to read it. Instead, they’re cherry-picking, rage-baiting, and calling it “radical.” But if you actually open the document, the worldview Trump lays out is practical and brutally honest about the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Russia, and America’s limits.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why the buildup around Colombia and Venezuela has nothing to do with “narco-trafficking”
• How control of the world’s largest oil reserves shapes U.S. behavior — no matter who’s president
• Why Trump is challenging Europe and pushing NATO to grow up
• How European decline — from demographics to GDP to identity — is driving their political panic
• Why Europe quietly agrees with Trump more than the media wants to admit
• Why stabilizing Ukraine quickly is now a core U.S. interest
And how Trump’s business-minded foreign policy contrasts with the neocon approach of endless war!

The Nvidia–China Deal Makes ZERO Sense (And No One Can Explain It)

Trump cuts a deal with Xi Jinping to allow China to buy Nvidia’s H200 chips — the same chips the U.S. government says will determine who controls the future of AI and modern warfare. And somehow we're supposed to pretend this all makes sense? You’d have an easier time decoding a Fellini film.
In this episode, we break down:
• The deal: China gets access to Nvidia’s H200s as long as the U.S. keeps 25% of the sales
• The contradiction: DOJ says these chips are the “building blocks of AI superiority”
• The confusion: Why sell strategic tech to an adversary we’re told to fear?
• The chaos: DOJ shuts down a China-linked chip-smuggling network the same day
• The twist: China now says it might restrict access to the very chips we just approved
And the reality: None of this adds up — not strategically, not economically, not politically!

Minnesota shoved $38 million in property tax dollars into hundreds of NGOs, all while jacking up local taxes—and no one will face consequences.

Remember Phil Collins’ Missed Again? That’s America right now—getting taken for another ride while Congress crams $5+ billion in earmarks into a Christmas-time minibus no one can even find in the PDFs. A handful of Republicans are holding the line, but the rest are ignoring their own moratorium and greenlighting money for activist groups, sports arenas, fish tunnels, and foreign militaries. This is what happens when voters look away and Washington counts on it.
