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.
Subsidies, Shutdowns & Stalemates: Washington’s Healthcare Circus Continues

The Department of Justice just botched it—again. A federal judge has tossed the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia “Tish” James, not because they were innocent angels, but because the Trump team blew the basic rules on how to appoint the prosecutor handling the case.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why the judge ruled the charges had to be dismissed
• How Lindsay Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. Attorney violated the 120-day window
• Why she had zero prosecutorial experience and never should’ve been in that role
• How a seasoned conservative prosecutor, Siebert, refused to bring the cases and walked away
• Why lawfare backfires when you ignore the rules and hire for loyalty over competence
I’m no fan of Comey or Tish James—but this never should’ve been fumbled like this.

Your taxpayer dollars—yes, yours—have been working overtime. Not to help kids, not to support struggling families… but to fund terrorism.And no, this isn’t “just Minnesota’s problem.” Federal dollars were in the pot too.
In this episode, we break down:
• How billions in welfare money were siphoned off through state-run programs
• Why federal investigators believe large sums were sent overseas to an al-Qaeda–linked terror group
• How a hyper-bureaucratic, “don’t offend anyone” political culture allowed fraud to flourish
• Why judges are giving shockingly light sentences even after convictions
• And why Washington keeps funding states that repeatedly fail to oversee basic programs
This isn’t about immigration—it’s about incompetence, bureaucratic cowardice, and a welfare system so poorly designed that criminals can exploit it for years while politicians look the other way.

In this fiery commentary, Chris argues that Donald Trump is completely misreading the political moment and must channel his inner Ronald Reagan before the GOP collapses in 2025. With Republicans demoralized, members considering resignations, and six in ten Americans believing the country is heading in the wrong direction, the message is clear: kitchen-table issues—not foreign conflicts, not populist checks, not tariffs—are what matter now. Chris calls on Trump to drop the MAGA populism, revisit the pro-growth conservatism of the 1980s, and rediscover the winning Reagan playbook: real capitalism, lower taxes, deregulation, and optimism. It’s a plea for a course correction before the party faces a wipeout—and a reminder that America doesn’t want handouts, it wants opportunity.

A deep dive into how America’s basic participation costs—housing, healthcare, childcare, transportation, and even staying connected—now consume incomes at levels unimaginable in 1963. Using the original poverty-line logic, a family of four needs nearly $140K just to break even, not thrive. Meanwhile, benefits cliffs trap working families as they try to climb the income ladder, causing many to end up worse off when they earn more. Chris exposes the broken math behind America’s affordability crisis.

A sharp deterioration in white-collar jobs exposes a growing mismatch in the U.S. labor market: too many degree-holders, not enough hands-on workers. The result? Nearly 2 million unemployed college-educated Americans, the worst since the early ’90s. Young graduates are getting crushed, STEM majors included, while mainstream commentators gloss over the deeper structural issues. Chris breaks down the real story behind the numbers—and why the public feels a downturn even as TV pundits insist everything is great.

Doge was created to cut federal waste, shrink sprawling agencies, and redirect Washington’s priorities. Instead, it died quietly as both parties shrugged and the United States added $2.1 trillion in new debt—$6.5 billion every single day. With Elon Musk pushed out, Trump abandoning the effort, and Congress letting reform bills collect dust, the swamp resets itself while America drowns in a $38 trillion hole. Chris breaks down how Doge was dismantled, why no one fought for it, and what your kids and grandkids will pay for Washington’s refusal to act.

Trump says Marjorie Taylor Greene “went bad.” Critics call her an extremist. Yet Greene’s new manifesto reads less like bomb-throwing rhetoric and more like a blistering indictment of Washington’s dysfunction—from healthcare failure to border chaos, corporate favoritism, endless foreign aid, and the economic squeeze on everyday Americans. We walk through her statement line by line and ask the MAGA faithful directly: where did she go wrong?
