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.

Forget the buzzwords—this so-called "big, beautiful bill" is anything but.

With projections showing up to $5.2 trillion in added debt and interest payments approaching $2 trillion a year, Chris makes the case for why this bill needs to die—fast.

Chris unpacks the latest Wall Street trap targeting everyday investors: a slick campaign from “Basic Capital” promising to supercharge your IRA with a 4-to-1 loan match. But behind the folksy pitch lies a dangerous recipe—annual fees, high leverage, and profit cuts that benefit the firm, not you. Markowski warns that this strategy of extreme leverage mimics hedge fund risk without the sophistication or safety nets. If it smells like a scam, it probably is.

Chris sounds the alarm on a growing economic crisis: millions of paused student loans are now defaulting as federal collections resume for the first time in five years. With credit scores dropping and delinquencies spiking—particularly in student debt—the country is staring down a financial reckoning. Markowski compares the student loan pause to the "Wimpy program"—debt now, consequences later—and warns that this could be a major flashpoint in the upcoming elections. His suggestion? Force universities to pay their share from bloated endowments.

Chris Markowski opens with a humorous nod to Fantasy Island before diving into a stark contrast between modern-day Boeing delays—like the unfinished Air Force One jets—and America’s World War II-era manufacturing miracle. While Trump’s Qatar plane controversy makes headlines, the real story is Boeing’s failure to deliver on time. Markowski recounts the rapid construction of the Willow Run plant in 1940, where Ford and a largely untrained workforce built a bomber every 55 minutes. The message? If America wants to restore its greatness, it needs to rediscover its manufacturing muscle. Watch the full breakdown at Watchdogonwallstreet.com
