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.

It’s the same con, over and over: flashy influencers, easy money promises, no real financials—and investors getting wiped out. Monthly checks create trust, then they stop. Regulators arrive late. The influencer keeps selling.
The rule never changes: real wealth takes time, work, and transparency. If someone says otherwise, you’re not investing—you’re being played.

“Deport everyone” sounds simple—until you look at the economic fallout. From Florida’s slowed job growth to farm and construction labor shortages, tougher enforcement has already exposed how dependent key industries are on immigrant labor.
Yes, border enforcement matters. But so does economic reality. Wiping out the workforce doesn’t magically replace it—it raises prices, delays projects, and hurts growth. Both things can be true at once, and pretending otherwise isn’t a solution.

Ahead of the January jobs report, officials are already moving the goalposts—arguing that weak job growth isn’t really weak and that 50,000 jobs a month should now be considered “great,” supposedly due to deportations.
That explanation doesn’t hold up. If millions left the workforce, job openings should surge. Instead, hiring is frozen, small businesses are squeezed by tariffs, young grads can’t find work, and companies are investing in tech over people.
Weak jobs numbers are a real problem—and redefining them doesn’t fix the economy.

Borrowing money to speculate, following celebrity endorsements, and believing overnight-wealth fantasies all end the same way.
There’s no shortcut here. Building wealth takes time, discipline, and patience—not tweets, memes, or internet bravado.

The U.S. managed to seriously anger Poland—one of its strongest European allies—after the American ambassador publicly cut ties with Poland’s parliament speaker for refusing to support a Nobel Peace Prize for Donald Trump.
Poland’s leadership pushed back, reminding Washington that alliances are built on respect, not lectures. The situation escalated further with late-night social media posts and reckless talk of pulling U.S. troops, sparking backlash from Polish citizens and officials alike.
A needless diplomatic mess, damaged trust, and a masterclass in how not to treat allies.
