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.

The Dignity Act of 2025 is back—revamped and stripped of any path to citizenship. Championed once again by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL), this bill proposes stronger border security, mandatory E-Verify, and a conditional status for undocumented immigrants who arrived before 2021. They must come forward, pay $7,000 over seven years, remain crime-free, and stay off government aid. Critics call it amnesty in disguise. Supporters call it a compassionate, realistic solution to an unsustainable problem. Is this the compromise America’s been waiting for—or another political flashpoint?

One in four Americans over 50 are delaying retirement—and the media’s calling it a crisis. But what if the real crisis is retirement itself?
In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street:
  • Why “retirement” is a modern invention—and possibly a terrible one
  • The historical truth about pensions, Social Security, and checking out at 65
  • Why idling in Florida isn’t the dream—and how real purpose comes from contribution
  • A better path: teaching, part-time work, and the Thanksgiving Week Workweek
  • And why the real danger isn’t working too long—it’s quitting too soon
Brutal honesty, tough love, and one message: If you’ve still got something to give, give it.

It’s a political soap opera—and this week’s plot twist? A bizarre birthday letter, hand-drawn anatomy, and a media circus trying to link Trump to Epstein… again.
In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street:
  • Why the Wall Street Journal’s “letter scandal” feels more like bad fiction than breaking news
  • Trump’s fiery denial and promise to sue Murdoch, News Corp, and anyone with a byline
  • What the Epstein case is really hiding—and why no one on either side wants the full list released
  • How Pelosi and Trump just ended up on the same side of a story (yes, really)
  • And why the media’s obsession with sideshows is keeping the real corruption safe and quiet
 It’s not Bravo. It’s not HBO. It’s just Washington, D.C. — where the show must go on.

Trump’s toe-dipping tendencies are on full display again—hinting at firing Fed Chair Jay Powell (whom he nominated), sparking headlines, and stirring markets. But behind the splashy rhetoric lies something more suspicious: oddly well-timed financial trades tied to his moves and statements. Are these just coincidences, or signs of something more?
