Once a fierce critic of the guest worker program that replaced Americans with cheaper foreign labor, Trump now appears to defend it, contradicting his own 2016 promises. Chris traces the long, ugly history of H-1B abuse from Disney to Silicon Valley, exposes how both parties sold out U.S. workers, and argues that America’s moral backbone — not just its economy — is at stake.

He breaks down how cheap-money madness and Wall Street greed created a trillion dollars in walking-dead investments, now haunting pensions, 401(k)s, and private funds. From “ethical bypass at birth” fund managers to the coming reckoning for America’s financial elite, Chris explains why you don’t want to be the next “greater fool.”

From price transparency to catastrophic-only coverage and interstate competition, he lays out a straightforward reform plan — and blasts both parties for protecting their donors instead of patients. With the midterms looming, the message is clear: fix it now, or lose your last chance to do so.

With even Fox News acknowledging affordability issues, the question looms: is the administration believing its own propaganda? A searing call for honesty, accountability, and economic reality amid political delusion.

Once-loyal supporters and conservative influencers are now openly questioning Trump’s leadership, his endless media appearances, and a team that seems more focused on flattery than fixing problems.

The Trump administration says no bailouts for AI companies, but as data centers expand and national security arguments grow louder, that promise may not hold. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we examine how the AI boom mirrors past bailouts — from banks to automakers — and why true capitalism depends on letting creative destruction work. From Florida’s pushback on data centers to the specter of taxpayer-funded rescues, we ask: is AI innovation paving the way for another moral hazard?

But would that fix rising healthcare costs or just reshuffle who gets the money? In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we break down Trump’s tweet, the deeper flaws in the Affordable Care Act, and why real insurance — true risk-based coverage — disappeared long before Obamacare ever arrived. From high-risk pools to Rand Paul’s “Costco healthcare” idea, we explore what genuine reform could look like and why Washington keeps missing the mark.
