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.

A federal program that was supposed to help small businesses dig out from debt is now signaling a full-blown crisis. Subchapter V bankruptcies — designed for businesses with modest debt loads — just hit record highs. At the same time, today’s ADP report shows exactly where the real weakness is: small businesses are laying people off.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why Subchapter V bankruptcies are surging as debt limits tighten
• Why ADP’s small-business data is the most important warning sign in the economy
• How tariffs, inflation, and uncertainty have crushed the engine of U.S. job growth
• Why regulations hit small businesses harder than anyone else
• How giant corporations benefit from complex bills like Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley
And why the administration needs to cut costs, cut red tape, and cut barriers if it wants any shot in 2026!

I can’t believe I’m doing a podcast about a Transportation Secretary — but here we are. Because credit where credit is due: Sean P. Duffy is knocking it out of the park. After the disaster era of Mayor Pete, where billions were burned with nothing to show for it, the bar was low… but Duffy isn’t just clearing it — he’s leaping over it.
In this episode, we break down:
• How Duffy cleaned up the chaos left behind by the Biden–Buttigieg era
• Why nearly 3,000 CDL training providers were just removed for failing basic standards
• How 4,500 more providers were put on notice for noncompliance
• Why cracking down on illegal trucking operations is critical for public safety
And how Duffy is restoring accountability across every link of the transportation chain!

The Nashville special election highlights a recurring problem: outsiders buying influence, parties misreading voters, and the same ideological mistakes playing out again and again. We revisit Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos,” the Clinton–Obama convention chaos, and why Democrats keep running candidates who fit New York City better than middle America. Add in a simple solution for money in politics, and this episode pulls back the curtain on how both parties sabotage themselves.

Politicians cheer, pundits rage, and viral memes celebrate dead “thugs.” But reality is far uglier: cartel mules are often coerced fishermen, the cocaine supply won’t budge, and Washington keeps pretending street-level theatrics equal policy. This segment argues the real endgame isn’t the drug trade at all—it’s paving public consent for regime change in Venezuela. A blunt, uncomfortable breakdown of how political narratives replace real solutions while the drug machine keeps humming.

Fauci is back in the headlines — and so is the mountain of COVID deception we were all force-fed for years. Senator Rand Paul has been trying to hold him accountable, but Congress has zero interest in touching the man who helped script the entire pandemic narrative.
In this episode, we break down:
• How Fauci orchestrated a full-scale cover-up of COVID’s origins
• Why the medical establishment worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory
• The February 2020 paper Fauci secretly approved to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis
• Why FDA officials and independent doctors now admit there’s a clear paper trail
• How Moderna and Pfizer buried evidence of children dying in early mRNA trials
And why hospitals were financially incentivized to use failed COVID protocols.

What began as reports of an Afghan national near the White House has spiraled into revelations about a CIA-backed commando, a botched vetting process, and suspicious digital breadcrumbs hours before the attack. In this episode, Chris breaks down what the media won’t, why both parties helped create this mess, and how 20 years of failed foreign policy may be circling back as blowback at home.

“Rage-baiting” — pushing people’s buttons just to get them worked up — has become the fuel of American politics. And after looking back over decades of columns and broadcasts, one thing is clear: the corruption, the division, and the manipulation have never been worse than they are right now.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why the country feels more corrupt than at any point in modern history
• How both parties use rage-baiting to keep Americans distracted
• Why investigations, hearings, and promises of justice never lead to real accountability
• How the rule of law has eroded to the point where no one trusts the system
• What happens when citizens stop believing in institutions altogether
And why reclaiming local power is the only real path back to stability.
