Why are credit card rates hovering at 25–30% when mortgages and car loans are much lower? In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris breaks down the real reasons—and exposes why political calls to “cap” rates at 10% are total nonsense.
Here’s what you’ll hear:

• The Teamsters’ new “privileged” credit card scam with a 27.4% APR
• Why credit card debt is unsecured—and what that means for sky-high rates
• The bankruptcy loophole that drives costs higher for everyone
• Why a government-mandated 10% cap would crush ordinary borrowers and lock millions out of credit entirely
• How to actually use credit cards the smart way (hint: pay in full, collect the perks, never carry a balance)
• Why politicians keep selling fantasies they know will never happen

Credit cards can be a tool—or a trap. The choice is yours.

It’s back-to-school season, and Chris has a message that’s going to tick some people off: pack your kids’ lunch.
In this fiery Watchdog on Wall Street episode, we call out the lazy parenting and government nonsense behind “free lunch for all.”
Inside:

• Why sending your kid to eat government food is setting them up for failure
• Kathy Hochul’s “free breakfast & lunch for all” plan—and why it’s a taxpayer scam
• Why subsidized school meals are junk food disguised as charity
• The real cost of “universal free lunch” (hint: your wallet)
• Why parenting means effort—and why packing a lunch matters

Tough love time: stop outsourcing your kids’ health to bureaucrats.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on a story the mainstream media refuses to touch: the arrest of an Israeli cyber official in a Las Vegas child predator sting — and the swift disappearance of the case from public view. From diplomatic immunity to double standards in law enforcement, we break down what justice looks like in America today, and why compassion and truth-telling matter more than the algorithms or the networks trying to bury the story.

From fake real estate inventory numbers to the CPI “male cow poop” index, Chris rips through the week’s economic fiction. Spirit Airlines on the brink, Kodak’s last gasp, and whistleblowers taking on DC’s bread-and-circuses politics. Plus—market guru confessions, why we need to bring back critical thinking, and the curious case of the Cava collapse. This is Watchdog on Wall Street: bold, unfiltered, and focused on how it all hits your wallet.

Chris calls it like he sees it—whether you like it or not. In this hour of Watchdog on Wall Street, Trump channels his inner John Gotti while Mark Cuban praises the Trump export tax. Chris breaks down the good, bad, and ugly of this policy and what it means for American business. Plus—the creeping “death” of capitalism, an ugly budget deficit, and why Social Security reform remains a political coulda-woulda-shoulda. Straight talk on policies, their market impact, and what you need to know for your investments.

On Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris dives into the week’s economic realities with his trademark honesty. From the truth about asset rotation to the media’s “Monday morning quarterbacking” on inflation, Chris explains what’s really happening—and how it affects your portfolio. Plus, why private equity isn’t the golden ticket Wall Street sells you, and how not to get played for a sucker. No political spin—just straight talk about policy, markets, and your money.

From Wall Street darling to grocery store punchline, Beyond Meat has officially gone bankrupt. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris delivers an “I told you so” moment years in the making.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
-Why the “Let Them Eat Goo” prophecy from South Park nailed it back in 2019

-The marketing hype that duped investors, fast-food chains, and climate activists alike
-Why replacing real food with ultra-processed junk was doomed from the start
-What this collapse says about chasing fads instead of fundamentals
Sometimes the market doesn’t just correct—it serves poetic justice.

Moral hazard isn’t a theoretical risk anymore—it’s here, entrenched, and thriving. From the bailouts of 2008 to today’s push for the U.S. government to take an equity stake in Intel, the precedent of picking winners and losers has shredded the free-market rulebook. With taxpayer dollars propping up corporate giants, competition gets crushed, innovation stalls, and Washington gains dangerous new powers over industry. This isn’t conservatism—it’s state capitalism on steroids, and the long-term cost will be far greater than the check we’re writing today.

From “tax the rich” blue states to GOP-led Washington, the bipartisan obsession with raising revenue is in full swing. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris breaks down why everyone—from Rhode Island to Capitol Hill—is coming for your wallet.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
-How states are rolling out new millionaire taxes, capital gains hikes, and even a “Taylor Swift tax”
-Why 19 states facing deficits are ramping up revenue grabs instead of cutting spending
-The GOP’s “Reconciliation 2.0” plan—and why it’s just more uniparty tax-and-spend
-The stealth federal proposals that could gut mortgage deductions, tax your health insurance, and hit small businesses hardest
-How both parties quietly agree: higher taxes for you, no real spending reform for them
It’s not about reform. It’s not about fairness.

Step right up to the new and improved Gaslight Village—where the economic funhouse mirrors distort reality, and “perfect” inflation numbers make you question your sanity. From skyrocketing wholesale vegetable prices to rising manufacturing costs, companies are quietly passing the bill to you. Meanwhile, political spin masters declare tariffs are tax cuts and inflation barely exists. In this village, the ride isn’t free—it’s just priced to look that way.
