The latest polls show what you already feel in your wallet—six in ten Americans blame Trump’s administration for their financial struggles, and eight in ten are worried about rising tariffs.
In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris breaks down:
The grocery receipt that proves inflation isn’t over—it's accelerating
Why “prices are going down” is gaslighting nonsense
How both government and corporate interests are making it worse for working families
Why it’s time to deal with this mess now
Real Americans are hurting. The question is—who’s finally going to do something about it?

There’s a lot of noise — and a lot of misinformation — about the Federal Reserve’s true influence over your mortgage, credit card, and car loan rates. In this episode, we cut through the nonsense and explain what the Fed actually controls (hint: it’s not what most people think). From misattributed Mark Twain quotes to fiscal recklessness driving long-term rates, this is a reality check for anyone blaming Jay Powell for everything under the sun. The truth? The Fed doesn’t have a magic button — and our real problem starts in Washington.

In this explosive episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris goes off on the student loan racket—and the endless cycle of lies, bailouts, and bad decisions fueling it.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
-Why today's college grads are right to feel scammed—but wrong to demand a taxpayer bailout
-The evil genius of uncollateralized, nondischargeable student debt
-How colleges became hedge funds with nonprofit status
-What would happen if student loans were priced like any other loan (spoiler: Harvard would be charging 25% interest)
-A radical idea: make the colleges responsible for the loans they encourage
The system is broken. The fix shouldn’t be on the backs of taxpayers.

A searing warning about the dangerous rise of private equity in America’s financial system. From inflated valuations and deceptive portfolio tactics to their quiet takeover of single-family housing and 401(k) plans, this episode exposes how private equity firms are gaming the system — and why unsuspecting investors, especially those saving for retirement, could be left holding the bag. If you think your retirement is safe, think again. It’s not just risky — it’s a ticking time bomb.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris takes a step back from the headlines and asks the deeper question: What good is policy if the country has lost its soul? As our social fabric unravels—families broken, trust in institutions shattered, morality privatized—we face a crisis no tax cut or stimulus check can fix.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why both Republicans and Democrats have abandoned small-government principles
• How Trumpism has morphed into a “misarchist” movement—hostile to government, yet eager to wield its power
• The collapse of community: from neighborhoods to churches to shared values
• Why the real fight isn’t about big vs. small government, but about restoring order
• And how we must reclaim virtue, obligation, and belonging—before it's too late

 This isn’t about left vs. right anymore. It’s about rebuilding the foundation of a nation that’s forgotten what holds it together.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris sounds the alarm on Trump’s second-term strategy—or lack thereof. From delusional trade claims to dismal poll numbers, the President's reboot moment is long overdue.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why Trump’s presidency is frozen in “blue screen of death” mode
• The real economic indicators no one in Trump’s orbit seems to understand
• How MAGA loyalty tests are replacing smart leadership
• Trump’s baffling $600 billion “signing bonus” fantasy with Japan and the EU
• And why Apple’s big promise is just that—a promise
•  Plus: A warning about confusing activity for results, and why both right-wing and left-wing economists are suddenly agreeing—for all the wrong reasons.

 It’s time for a reset. The American people deserve more than just the illusion of progress.

Drawing inspiration from A Bronx Tale and classical economic thinkers like Bastiat and Hazlitt, this commentary delivers a powerful critique of America’s current trajectory. From missed post-recession opportunities to the self-inflicted wounds of tariff-driven populism, we explore how shortsighted policies, political tribalism, and ego-driven leadership are holding the country back. Trump’s trade war and economic nationalism may feel good in the short term, but the long-term costs—rising prices, falling profits, and a hollowed-out middle class—tell a different story. It's not just about politics—it's about wasted potential.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris tears into the latest political theater over redistricting—Democrats fleeing Texas, states threatening revenge maps, and both parties playing the same pathetic game. It's not about voters. It's about raw power.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why Texas Democrats fled the state to block a vote—and why Illinois, New York, and California are retaliating
• How gerrymandering proves politicians care more about control than constituents
• Why red vs. blue is just a smokescreen for protecting the purse strings
• What The Distinguished Gentleman got right about Congress and corruption
• And why your best path forward is not politics—it’s building something real

 They’re not fighting for you. They’re fighting for committee seats, campaign cash, and control.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris takes aim at Donald Trump’s latest proposal: using tariff revenue to send dividend checks to middle and lower-income Americans. Sound familiar? That’s because it mirrors the far-left’s dream of Universal Basic Income—only this time, it’s wrapped in a red hat.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why Trump’s plan sounds more like Bernie Sanders than Reagan
• How tariff revenue is just another tax on working Americans
• The dangerous precedent of turning tariffs into UBI
• What would happen if AOC or Warren proposed the exact same thing
• And why conservatives need to be honest about what this really is: redistribution

If you think it’s conservative just because Trump says it—you’re not paying attention.
