U.S. and Russian officials are reportedly floating a proposal to end the Ukraine war by modeling it after Israel’s decades-long control of the West Bank—keeping Ukraine’s borders intact on paper while giving Russia de facto control over occupied territories. Supporters call it a loophole; critics warn it’s a recipe for endless conflict and division. Here’s why copying one of the world’s most intractable disputes could be a dangerous blueprint for Europe.

Donald Trump says the jobs numbers are rigged—now he’s putting Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni in charge of fixing them. But here’s the problem: the second his name was announced, the “numbers can’t be trusted” chorus began.
In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street:

• Why E.J. Antoni is stepping into a political minefield
• The case for scrapping monthly jobs reports entirely
• How outdated, unreliable data collection is crippling trust in government stats
• Why America desperately needs accurate numbers before the Fed makes its next big move

Wall Street trades on them. The Fed makes decisions on them. And right now? Nobody believes them.

Another day, another “bombshell” that Washington will bury.
 In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris calls out the latest headline-grabber: a veteran intelligence officer says Adam Schiff personally approved leaking classified info to smear Trump during Russiagate.
But here’s the truth:

• Washington’s “big club” protects its own—on both sides
• Why these stories are designed to outrage you, not deliver justice
• The endless cycle of scandals, headlines, and zero consequences
• What would happen if you did what they do in DC

The swamp is very swampy!

Critical thinking has gone out of style—replaced by partisan echo chambers, instant AI answers, and a culture more interested in “winning” than in finding the truth. From Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party, real dialogue has been drowned out by division. Here’s why questioning, debating, and thinking for yourself are skills worth reviving—and how AI should be used as a tool for inquiry, not a substitute for your own mind.

Politicians, real estate agents, and homebuilders keep claiming there’s a housing shortage—but the numbers tell a different story. Across the U.S., inventory is plentiful, yet prices stay high thanks to private equity firms and corporate landlords buying up entire neighborhoods, inflating values, and keeping taxes—and profits—sky-high. This isn’t a supply problem; it’s a power grab disguised as economics.

Private equity giants are gaming the numbers, creating paper profits that vanish when reality hits—just like the penny stock and hedge fund schemes of the past. With new rules allowing private equity into 401ks, unsuspecting investors could end up the “greater fool” in a high-stakes shell game. Here’s why these funds are often a dumping ground for toxic assets, and how to spot the danger before it’s too late.

With inflation at 3.1% and climbing, wages on the rise, and asset prices at record highs, why is the Fed under heavy pressure to cut rates? In this episode, we question whether the much-touted 2% inflation target was ever real, explore the political push from the White House and Treasury, and unpack what a 90% chance of a September cut means in a $37 trillion-debt, inflation-driven world.

More tariff revenue doesn’t mean we’re getting richer—especially when spending keeps outpacing income. In this episode, we break down July’s $291 billion deficit, the fiscal year’s staggering $1.6 trillion shortfall, and how hidden taxes through tariffs still can’t cover runaway expenditures. From Daffy Duck’s “I’m rich” delusion to the sobering reality of $37 trillion in debt, we expose why America is taking five steps backward.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris uses Kodak’s collapse as a masterclass in corporate hubris. The company that once defined photography actually invented the digital camera in 1975—then buried it to protect its film business.
Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why even “too big to fail” blue chips eventually die
• The shocking truth about Kodak’s digital camera breakthrough
• How fear of innovation opened the door for Canon, Sony, and Nikon
• Famous cases where companies killed their own golden goose
• The one rule every business—and investor—should live by: grow or die

From the Dutch East India Company to Kodak, the lesson is the same: if you don’t innovate, you evaporate.
