Briggs acknowledges the initial market downturn and consumer apprehension but emphasizes the strategic intent behind the tariffs: to level the international trade playing field and bolster domestic manufacturing.

In this episode, we delve into the creation of a pioneering gold-backed bank established in Barbados. Christian discusses the motivation behind launching a bank that leverages precious metals, particularly gold, to offer secure and stable financial services. We explore the global economic trends influencing this move, including concerns over fiat currency devaluation and the increasing interest in asset-backed financial solutions. The discussion delves into the distinctions between decentralized cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, and centralized digital currencies like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The conversation highlights how decentralized cryptocurrencies operate without a central authority, offering users autonomy and privacy in their transactions.

President Donald Trump has enacted a 25% tariff on all aluminum and steel imports into the United States, aiming to bolster domestic manufacturing and protect American industries from foreign competition. He has also announced plans to implement reciprocal tariffs later this week, though specific targets remain unspecified. In a move to reduce unnecessary government spending, Trump has directed Treasury Secretary Scott Beston to cease the production of new pennies, citing the high cost of minting relative to their value. Economist and CEO of Hard Asset Management, Christian Briggs, supports these initiatives, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding American manufacturing jobs and addressing the challenges posed by foreign subsidies and predatory pricing. While acknowledging potential short-term inflation, Briggs believes these policies will ultimately strengthen the U.S. economy by revitalizing the manufacturing sector and creating high-paying jobs.
With President Trump's tariffs on China now in effect, China's limited retaliatory response signals a high-stakes economic chess match. Economist and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs breaks down why China is treading carefully, recognizing its reliance on U.S. consumers while attempting to assert financial dominance. As BRICS strengthens and China diversifies its trade partnerships, the risk of an all-out trade war looms, potentially driving inflation into double digits and costing American families thousands annually.

President Trump is doubling down on his America-first economic strategy, promising massive tax cuts for businesses that manufacture in the U.S. while imposing tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. With a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on China set for February 1st, Trump aims to redirect trillions into the U.S. economy while revitalizing domestic manufacturing. Economist Christian Briggs highlights the success of Trump's first term, where tariffs helped bring back 600,000 manufacturing jobs. Now, with plans to slash corporate taxes to 14% and attract billions in foreign investment, Trump's vision is clear: Make in America, benefit from record-low taxes, or pay the price. Could this strategy eliminate federal income tax altogether? With a booming GDP and rising job creation, the numbers are on his side.
With President Trump proposing new tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada, and Europe, the economic and geopolitical stakes are higher than ever. Economist and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs breaks down the impact, emphasizing how tariffs serve as a powerful negotiating tool to level the playing field.

Additionally, Trump's strategic approach aims to disrupt the China-Mexico fentanyl pipeline, cutting cartel profits and bolstering national security. While critics worry about inflationary pressure, Briggs argues that a well-calibrated tariff strategy could generate substantial GDP growth, revitalize industries, and even help lower interest rates and oil prices. Could this move be a home run for the U.S. economy? Stay tuned.

Tariffs can work incredibly well if they're surgically applied which means that you don't throw a hand grenade into an arena and just ask will there be any casualties. If you surgically look at everything and he's done this so methodically in the past. Tariffs can be an incredible negotiating tool. Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on all incoming products from Canada in the United States. The whole Canadian government had a meltdown, with several of their MPs and deputy ministers resigning. Now if that wasn't a understanding made clear from Trump to the rest of the world then what you got to do is you got to measure that one incident with China. Inflation has increased products and services by at least ten to 15 percent over the last 24 months. When you add housing, energy, and food costs back into both the PPI and the CPI, the real numbers are closer to 7 maybe even 8 percent annualized. When you look at November inflation on the groceries alone, we had a 22 to 31 percent spike in one month on groceries.
When Putin gets this portion of Ukraine, the question is will he want more? Even if he gets this peace treaty, how many times have they lied to him? 34 times now over the last 25 years. Back in the 1990s, Bill Clinton said NATO will never expand beyond this, but it did. This upcoming peace deal is going to be one of the largest negotiated peace deals if it can be negotiated correctly. Biden wanted Ukraine to be a couple hundred mile buffer between NATO weapons which are predominantly US weapons and the Soviet Union itself. So with the idea that missile launchers being put on the Ukraine-Russian border can hit Moscow in about 8 minutes, that's a bridge too far that Putin was not going to allow.

Every time we see BRICS gain another member country, or more percentage of localized currencies being utilized in purchases and sales. BRICS announced that they are going to have gold back their new currency. Up to 40 percent in physical gold, and 60 percent utilizing local currencies to help backstop it. They're going down the road that we did for a century, and then in 1971, President Nixon terminated the convertibility of the U.S. dollar to gold. BRICS is going to this because it's the only way they can dominate the world's stage of currency usage. And just recently, the president of Brazil said he pushed back on the Trump's tariffs, saying there is absolutely no way that the United States can stop the BRICS. The US economy is one single currency vision which is coming out in 2025.
What the Department of Government Efficiency needs to focus and address immediately is the fact that there's roughly 6 percent of the federal workers who actually work full-time. So when you're looking at 6 percent in-house and 94 percent out-house that's not a good ratio for efficiency. You need to put these people back into their seats where they become more efficient. Additionally, you only have about 12 percent of government buildings with any occupancy. It's almost like a ghost town there. This isn't a party thing. The Democrats agree that this inefficiency is a national problem. No party is more guilty than the other for overspending.
Tariffs are a good concept, but the United States needs to be careful with how they use them. The Fed has gone from around 9.4 four trillion dollars on their balance sheet, and they've dumped about two trillion dollars worth of treasuries over the last 3 years. They've got to get those bonds out of their holdings because they're not they're not effective. However, there's still around 7.4 trillion left on the balance sheet. That's literally hurting the GDP. If Trump does enact some of the tariffs, he can't just throw a grenade into an arena of tariffs. He can't do that because that's inflationary. He needs to be very surgical in wherever he's going to cut government waste, government inefficiency, government spending. He needs to be just as surgical on what products that he makes the tariffs effective on.
President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to slap a 100% tariff on the BRICS nations if they try to abandon the United States dollar as the reserve currency. Is it realistic for the BRICS countries to completely move away from the dollar? Not completely. When BRICS started in the original formation of the 5 countries, they were utilizing theU.S. dollar in 100% of transactions. Local currency was very minimal on international trade. Today, they're doing 65% of all their transactions in local currencies. But on the international stage, there's still less than 1/3 of the dollar usage by the BRICS members. Donald Trump is going to come in and he's going to negotiate these tariffs. It's going to be surgical. Does that mean BRICS can take over the dollar reserve status? Not in the near future, but they are backing their new BRICS currency with gold, and that has created a lot more credibility.
Why are we at war in Ukraine. It's always the same answer throughout human history - It's money and power. Every single time. There's trillions of dollars of rare earth minerals and resources in the uh Eurasian landmass, and a lot of that is in Ukraine. Then there were explicit oil deals in Crimea and the Donbas, ten billion dollars each. Those two territories on the eastern part of Ukraine decide to have referendums and they go independent and one goes pro-Russian, then we've made promises to rich elite billionaires around the world. You would find it absurd to have a communist country in Mexico or in Cuba. And yet we're going right up against the motherland of Russia on the Ukrainian border and now we're shooting medium-range missiles into Russia.
Russia now has lowered the threshold for using nuclear armaments against Ukraine and possibly even Western NATO countries This is as bad as it gets. Why has President Biden determined that it's in the best interest of the US and Ukraine as well as other NATO members to use long-range missiles that go deep in the heart of Russia? This is a declaration of war, and President Putin has made it very clear that the retaliatory reaction is going to be pretty bad here. He's finally got to respond and retaliate for the attacks that are coming on Russia And if that happens and we end up in a World War III scenario or close to it, then that would give the Democrats an excuse not to inaugurate Trump. What's going on behind the scenes that may guarantee that Trump can't take office. Now we're still going to have to have the certification of the electors in January like we had last time that resulted in the big the big mini riot at the Capitol January 4 years ago. Is that going to happen again?
Christian joins NTD news to discuss the Trump transition to power in the White House, as we're starting to see Trump's new administration take form as he fills in key government positions. Yesterday, we received news that Tulsi Gabbard has been appointed as the director of national intelligence, and most if not all Americans are waiting to see how Trump's second term will change the course of American economy, fiscal policies and government spending.
Mixed reactions in the financial world about how a second Trump term will impact the economy. On one hand, markets have been rallying. The S&P 500 is up about 3.5% since Election Day, and the Russell 2000 Index of small cap companies is up about 6%. But on the other hand, officials like the Bank of France, who is also a European Bank member, said that president-elect Donald Trump's economic agenda risks returning inflation to the United States, as well as hurting economic growth worldwide.

Christian guests on America Out Loud podcast, and he discusses with host Sargis Sangari the recent BRICS 2024 summit in Kazan, Russia. Vladimir Putin spoke about a new world order to challenge the west. The meeting took place over three days, and it provided Putin with Russia's biggest global platform since the Ukraine invasion in 2022. Putin stated that by reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar, it would avoid sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the west. He said that the dollar was used as a weapon against Russia, calling it a big mistake by the west. In another pivotal move, China's Xi Jingpin and India's prime minister Modi used the summit to showcast their hopes for a more harmonious relationship after decades of cross border strife.
If Harris is elected president there's going to be a number of different things that are going to happen immediately. You're going to see interest rates go up pretty substantially because she's going to flood the market with brand new amount of cash by bringing entitlement programs up to levels that have never been seen before. Her policies of free healthcare alone is going to add seven trillion dollars to the spending. How much of that goes directly to the debt is very interesting because we're not sure if it's going to be 3 to 5 trillion. She's going to bring free tuition for school. She's going to bring free childcare. These are now up to fifteen trillion dollar policies. The things of which she plans on giving away for free on the world stage is going to hurt the dollar. When you flood the market with too many dollars, it actually has substantially less value, and that creates inflation. After meeting with some economists last week there is great concern that the dollar could lose its reserve currency status by literally becoming available for free.
Christian guests on Jameson Haygood's “A Good Fight” podcast. They discuss a number of current topics, including the history of the United States debt to GDP ratio, and how the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) is trying to counter the U.S. dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency by creating a new BRICS digital currency tied to mBridge, which is a multi-CBDC platform developed to support real-time, peer-to-peer, cross-border payments. This will all be discussed in the BRICS October 2024 summit held in Kazan, Russia.
In this podcast, Christian talks about several important topics, including the war on crypto, Central Bank Digital Currencies, Kamala Harris' tax policy, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South America), and the two parallel digital monetary systems that are emerging: the Swift monetary payment system, and the mBridge cross-border payment system.
Christian is guest speaker on Jameson Heygood's A Good Fight radio show, and they speak about many topics, including how Russia is stockpiling gold, updates on new countries moving to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the western banking intentional collapse of our fiat currency into a CBDC, and the latest on the Kamala Harris advancement and what the democrats are going to do to remain in control of this country with the illegal immigrants, and then a deep analysis of her policies.
BRICS and gold are interrelated. And as BRICS continues to go higher, you're going to track gold. You're going to be able to know where gold's going. We're going to see, now that this is confirmed, they're going to back purchasing gold. Russia announced that they were increasing gold purchasing by over six hundred percent for September. They had to meet a number. The BRICS membership is a twenty eight year cooperation agreement. It excludes the United States dollar base. It has a use your partner's business as your own. In other words, we've all got to work together if we're BRICS members. Instead of going outside, we stay inside. We use the inside currency, mBridge. We back it by gold. Every nation has to proportionately put up some measure of gold. Obviously, Russia, being one of the largest economies, now is sitting over that two trillion, two and a half trillion dollar economy. It has to measure up to the same standards percentage-wise, importantly. And so this announcement is kind of like announcing that the U.S. government is going to buy stocks and buy all of them up.
On this podcast, Christian guests on NTD News, as he explains how gold is thriving amid inflation and global currency shifts. Inflation is a byproduct of overstimulation. Governments will overprint not for the betterment of the people but for the betterment of either policy or whatever they're going to do with that money. The biggest reasons that gold is actually doing quite well is the belief that you're going to have two parallel monetary policies… the SWIFT banking system, which is the Federal Reserve and allied countries, and the BRICS nations' system. The BRICS nations have a thing called mBridge, and that's completely going to be backed by gold starting in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Christian is a guest speaker on the latest Voice of Reason podcast. Concerning the upcoming unrealized capital gains tax for US citizens… Kamala Harris, after being elected president, will write this law into effect and say “This is what we start taxing you on January 1st.” Whatever you own on December 31st of 2024, that's what's going to carry over to January 1st, and that's the asset base. Then they're going to use this model to come and get your asset base. What would you do differently today knowing Harris' policies? Price control alone is going to destroy the economy. There's no way they would have broadcasted these policies, this unrealized capital gains tax, which is nothing more than a wealth tax. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of it, and this decision paves the way for an executive order that could be used. The Supreme Court didn't say it's only on foreign assets. The verified and determined the validity of the law. It is constitutional by a seven to 2 margin. That means if you challenge this law, you're going up against 7 justices who have already said: this is the law of the land and we find it constitutional. People are now justifiably concerned about getting their net worth obliterated.
