In this compelling segment, Watchdog on Wall Street explores The World's Deadliest Addiction by James Kimmel, a former lawyer turned Yale psychiatry lecturer, who reveals how the urge to get even can hijack the brain like a narcotic. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, prison reform programs, and personal experience, the discussion dives into how revenge lights up the same pleasure centers as drugs—and why forgiveness may be the brain’s best antidote. From dopamine hits to ancient wisdom, it’s a thought-provoking journey through psychology, pain, and healing in a culture that often celebrates payback. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

GM, Government & the Great American Sellout: Socialism in a Suit

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we take a hard look at how corporate giants like General Motors are bending the knee to whichever political wind is blowing—left, right, or upside down. Mary Barra plays the DC game like a pro, flipping from Trump’s tariffs to Biden’s EV mandates and back again, all while pocketing billions in subsidies and government favors. Is this capitalism? Or is it state-controlled cronyism wrapped in red tape? We connect the dots between appeasement economics, taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the revolving door of political power that’s dictating how American businesses run. From tariffs to tax credits, climate goals to corporate virtue signals—this is the true cost of letting Washington call the plays. Because when CEOs take orders from politicians, we’re not in a free market anymore. We’re in something else entirely. Tune in. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Andrew Cuomo wants $20/hour by 2027. A self-proclaimed socialist says $30 by 2030. What’s next—$50? $100? Free caviar with every paycheck? In this no-BS episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we torch the fantasy economics driving minimum wage hikes and expose the real-world fallout: lost jobs, closed restaurants, and once-vibrant NYC neighborhoods turned into ghost towns of Walgreens and "For Lease" signs. With cultural jabs from Coming to America to Seinfeld, this episode brings the heat on why top-down wage mandates don’t lift people up—they just price them out. Want to help workers? Let the market breathe. Want to destroy businesses? Keep playing pretend economics. Tune in and get real. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
