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.

He urges constitutional patience, emphasizing that the solution is legislative work, not more executive orders. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Chris compares the chaotic state of U.S. trade policy to a disjointed Federico Fellini film, highlighting the confusion and improvisation he sees coming from the Trump administration’s handling of tariffs and trade wars. Markowski critiques Trump's inaccurate historical claims about tariffs and the Great Depression, explains how China's economy is straining under the pressure, and gives a historical overview of how trade wars contributed to World War II. He warns that abrupt tariffs destabilize businesses, spook consumers, and fail to solve long-standing problems. Amidst the uncertainty, Markowski calls for a smarter, more strategic approach to trade, rather than reactive chaos.  www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Chris delivers a sweeping takedown of the romanticized myths surrounding American manufacturing, union-driven nostalgia, and tariff-based solutions.

From the UAW’s recent PR appearances to the deeper systemic flaws in policy and education, Markowski argues that America’s industrial revival won’t come from symbolism or populist stunts—it’ll come from innovation, accountability, and cultural overhaul. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Chris delivers a fiery critique of former President Donald Trump's backtracking on tariffs, comparing his economic unpredictability to a slapstick cartoon. He slams the MAGA media's spin on Trump’s “walk back” as master strategy and breaks down the real consequences—market volatility, small business casualties, and geopolitical confusion. With shoutouts to Nassim Taleb, J.D. Vance, and Scott Bessent, this no-holds-barred episode examines what happens when ego drives economic policy and no one in the room dares to say "no" to power. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Student Loan Accountability!

Chris blasts Biden’s failed student loan forgiveness, which ballooned debt by $60 billion annually and left only 38% of loans in repayment. With the Supreme Court blocking forgiveness and a May 5, 2025, deadline restarting payments for 1.8 million borrowers, he demands accountability, arguing taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for degrees or spring breaks. Markowski proposes market-driven solutions—eliminating federal loans or making colleges lend—calling out “bullshit degrees” and urging price discovery to slash tuition costs. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
