    Chris breaks down the quiet transformation of U.S. tariffs into a stealth tax on the American public—essentially an American version of Europe’s VAT (Value Added Tax). Using relatable anecdotes and economic analysis, he exposes how both parties condition taxpayers to accept never-ending taxes, buried in prices and masked by political spin. With Kevin O’Leary’s recent comments and Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff proposals as a springboard, Markowski warns that Americans are being boiled like frogs—slowly, invisibly, and without protest. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

    Chris breaks down Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering U.S. prescription drug prices—and why it likely won’t survive a legal challenge. He explains how Americans bear the brunt of global R&D costs due to foreign price controls and argues that real reform lies in negotiation, not government-mandated price fixing. Markowski draws from his experience in pharmaceutical investment banking to expose the high stakes of drug development and offers potential “Art of the Deal” tactics Trump could use—like restricting pharma ad spending—to push foreign governments to pay their fair share. He warns that true price controls would kill innovation and devastate the industry. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

    In this episode, Chris breaks down the latest developments in the U.S.–China trade relationship, comparing the ongoing tariff détente to a dramatic pause in a sitcom romance. He questions whether the so-called “truce” is a real breakthrough or just political posturing, arguing that this moment marks a quiet retreat from one of the most costly unforced policy errors in recent economic history. Markowski emphasizes the real-world consequences for small businesses and consumers, exposes the market-driven motives behind the tariff pause, and mocks companies like Apple for trying to mask tariff-driven price hikes. He also takes a jab at the UK-US trade deal, calling it little more than a glorified press release. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

    Chris sounds the alarm on the disappearance of true free-market advocates within American politics, likening them to the last survivors in I Am Legend. He critiques the rise of economic nationalism within the so-called “New Right,” condemning bipartisan support for tariffs, crony capitalism, and government-led industrial policy. Through sharp analysis and pointed cultural references, Markowski dismantles the myth that tariffs are a free-market solution and argues that real economic progress stems from individual entrepreneurship, not political manipulation. With both parties drifting toward centralized control, he warns that without free markets, there can be no free people. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
