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.

Frustrated and fed up, the host unloads on Republicans for once again caving to political pressure — this time to keep Obamacare’s bloated subsidy system alive. He breaks down how taxpayer money props up a failing healthcare model, why both parties are guilty of protecting insurance industry interests, and how the GOP’s fear of bad optics keeps real reform off the table. It’s a blistering call for courage, free-market sanity, and one simple wish: just one win for common sense.

Trump’s $35 million investment in an Alaskan mining company sounds patriotic—but it’s crossing into dangerous territory. In this episode:
  • How the Trump administration took a 10% government stake in Trilogy Metals—and an option for more
  • Why “fighting China” shouldn’t mean becoming China with government-owned industries
  • The long history of public-private “partnerships” that enrich the elite while taxpayers take the risk
  • How socialism always benefits the wealthy—from Carnegie to “too big to fail” to today’s Big Club
  • Why government should permit business, not own it—and how this move blurs conservative lines
Even if the goal is national security, government equity in private companies is socialism in disguise—and it’s a bad look for an administration that promised to drain the swamp.

Chris calls out Republicans for once again breaking their fiscal promises amid the latest government shutdown drama. From Trump’s talk of “great healthcare deals” to GOP lawmakers agreeing to extend costly Obamacare-era subsidies, he argues it’s all political theater—more spending, no reform. With both parties feeding the insurance industry and pushing America deeper into debt, Chris warns that Washington’s “solutions” only make the real problem worse.

A leaked Trump administration proposal—The Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education—is shaking up the woke university system. In this episode:
  • How Trump plans to use federal funding to reward schools that protect free speech and punish those enforcing ideological conformity
  • Why ending race and gender preferences in admissions and hiring isn’t radical—it’s the law
  • What “institutional neutrality” means and how it could stop universities from taking sides on social and political issues
  • The proposal to freeze tuition for five years and cap international enrollment at 15%
  • Why bloated administrations—not professors or students—are driving college costs through the roof
Trump’s education reform could finally bring accountability, competition, and intellectual diversity back to American campuses—and the Left is losing its mind over it.

Chris breaks down the growing gap between Wall Street’s soaring AI-fueled gains and Main Street’s mounting financial strain. From restaurant spending declines to a surge in personal bankruptcies, the warning signs are flashing even as tech stocks hit record highs. He draws parallels to the subprime and dot-com bubbles, warning that 40% of U.S. GDP now tied to AI spending could mask deeper structural weakness. Is the economy really as strong as the markets suggest—or are we watching another bubble inflate?

Another week, another bombshell proving America’s intelligence agencies are completely out of control. In this episode:
  • Chuck Grassley exposes FBI spying on eight Republican senators under Biden’s “Arctic Frost” investigation
  • How the FBI and CIA have been corrupt since the 1960s—and protected by Hollywood’s propaganda machine
  • Why Schumer’s old warning about the deep state having “six ways from Sunday” to get back at Trump should terrify every American
  • The Patriot Act’s legacy: mass surveillance, endless excuses, and zero accountability
  • Why the real threat to America isn’t abroad—it’s inside our own intelligence agencies
Enough with the boogeymen. It’s time to defund the FBI, dismantle the CIA, and end the surveillance state once and for all.

The private equity boom—fueled by years of cheap money and reckless valuations—may be nearing its reckoning. With 19,000 firms chasing deals at absurd multiples, inexperienced “PE bros” buying everything from HVAC shops to investment firms, and talk of slipping private equity funds into 401(k)s, the setup looks ominous. As returns lag and loans come due, who will be left holding the bag when the music stops?

Host Chris Markowski calls for a cultural reset before machines replace real human connection.
