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.
