Hard Asset Money Show

On a fiery segment with host Mike, economist Christian Briggs lays out why H-1B has morphed into a corporate cost-cutting scam that suppresses U.S. wages and drains local economies. He backs Trump's plan to slap hefty fees on H-1B hires, forcing Big Tech to either pay foreign talent fairly or finally hire qualified Americans. Briggs demolishes the “talent shortage” myth, calling it what it is: a wage-suppression strategy that ships prosperity overseas and starves U.S. communities of spending, tax revenue, and growth.He argues a 20% wage boost would echo across Main Street. More iPhones, new cars, home remodels, pools…fueling a real economic ecosystem instead of funneling cash to corporate balance sheets. His bottom line: stop outsourcing the American Dream. If companies want top global talent, pay for it, but quit undercutting U.S. workers.Bonus from Briggs: regarding the precious metals outlook…gold & silver is solid, but platinum is the sleeper he expects to double before gold, as nuclear and industrial demand ramps under Trump's energy push.

The government remains closed, and the standoff in Washington is heating up. On the latest episode of NTD News Live, economist Christian Briggs warns the shutdown's real bite will be felt by small businesses and local economies in cities with heavy federal workforces. From restaurants to daycares to tax revenues, the impact could spread quickly if the deadlock drags on. Even worse, with key jobs and inflation data delayed, markets are flying blind—risking a hit to investor confidence and even GDP.The longer this showdown stretches, the more it favors Trump and the GOP. But with public anger rising over lawmakers collecting paychecks while workers go without, the question is: who blinks first? 

In 2025, Washington sold America a lie. The GENIUS Act was billed as a safeguard against a government-run digital dollar. Instead, it opened the door to something even worse: a privatized surveillance currency.Backed by U.S. Treasuries and tethered to your identity, these “stablecoins” track every keystroke, every transaction, every move you make. And who's running the machinery? Palantir Technologies—the CIA-linked data giant founded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.Palantir's battlefield AI, once used to hunt terrorists overseas, is now repurposed to monitor ordinary Americans—your tax filings, your health records, your purchases, even your beliefs. Executive orders and billion-dollar contracts are fusing IRS, DHS, ICE, Medicare, and Social Security into one master database. Compliance is the excuse. Total control is the outcome.Critics call it a backdoor social credit system, one that can freeze your funds if you buy the wrong book, support the wrong cause, or say the wrong thing online. And with Palantir executives sliding into senior White House roles, the surveillance state isn't just analyzing your data—it's writing the rules.The GENIUS Act isn't protection. It's the blueprint for a privatized digital regime. The “stable” coin isn't stable—it's programmable, trackable, and permanent. And once your freedom is wired into an algorithm, flipping the switch is as easy as pressing delete.The trap is set. The system is live. The only question is—when will it come for you?

America's affordability crisis has hit a breaking point: millions living paycheck-to-paycheck, drowning in debt, and priced out of the dream of financial security. Enter President Trump's high-stakes counterpunch—tariffs that have already slashed the deficit and pumped record revenues into U.S. coffers. But just as tariffs prove their worth, a storm erupts inside the Federal Reserve. Joining OAN's The Real Story with Riley Lewis to analyze what's at stake is economist and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs. Briggs warns that the Fed—long shielded from accountability—is now ground zero in a fight over the future of America's dollar. He explains how tariffs are reshaping U.S. finances, why the Fed's unchecked power has fueled inflation and crushed the middle class, and whether Trump's push to overhaul or even abolish the Fed could finally restore fairness to America's economic system.Briggs delivers a clear message: this isn't just a personnel fight. It's a referendum on who really calls the shots in the U.S. economy—and whether working Americans will be lifted up or left behind.This isn't just a Washington drama—it's the future of your money.

The newly passed Genius Act is being hailed as a game-changer that could cement the U.S. dollar's dominance in the digital age. By requiring stablecoins to be backed 1:1 with U.S. dollars or short-term Treasuries, it promises to strengthen national security, cut wire fees, and pump trillions into America's debt market.But economist Christian Briggs warns of the hidden dangers: shifting monetary power from the Federal Reserve to profit-driven corporations, real-time surveillance of every transaction, and the terrifying possibility of accounts frozen without due process. While it could supercharge U.S. innovation and manufacturing, in the wrong hands it could mirror China's social credit system—where your money is controlled by politics, not freedom.

Economist Christian Briggs joins One America Network to tackle three major flashpoints shaping the economy and financial system. First, he weighs in on whether Jerome Powell should cut interest rates steadily into year's end—arguing that inflation is hotter than reported, but a gradual 25 basis point approach could strike the right balance. Next, Briggs addresses the mortgage fraud allegations against Fed Governor Lisa Cook, stressing both due process and the credibility concerns for someone in such a role. Finally, he breaks down the Genius Act: while it strengthens short-term treasuries and stabilizes the dollar through stablecoins, it also creates risks of programmable money, surveillance, and political abuse if the wrong hands take control. A sharp, wide-ranging conversation on America's economic crossroads.

In a landmark development, the Trump administration has secured a nearly 10% stake in Intel—one of America's most critical semiconductor companies—sparking a heated debate over whether this represents smart national security strategy or creeping government overreach. Economist Christian Briggs joins The Real Story to break down why the deal could solidify U.S. dominance in the global chip race, protect against China's push to control supply chains, and preserve domestic production capacity. But he also warns of the risks: Intel's Foundry business isn't profitable yet, and excessive state involvement could set a dangerous precedent resembling socialism or even communism. A high-stakes conversation about America's technological future and the balance between safeguarding security and preserving free markets.

Economist Christian Briggs joins NTD News to analyze the Congressional Budget Office's new forecast showing President Trump's tariffs could slash the federal deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. Briggs explains why tariff revenues are outpacing expectations, how upcoming Supreme Court challenges could affect their longevity, and why wage growth will be the ultimate test of success. He breaks down the timing of revenue inflows, the potential inflationary trade-offs, and how manufacturing jobs with six-figure salaries may expand the tax base and fuel GDP growth. A forward-looking conversation on whether tariffs can truly rebalance America's fiscal path.

In this gripping episode, retired Army Major Alex Bertelli shares his extraordinary path from high-stakes combat missions with the legendary Night Stalkers to pioneering cutting-edge security technology in the private sector. He recounts hair-raising operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, lessons learned from survival school, and the brotherhood that shaped him. Today, Alex has transformed that battlefield mindset into an entrepreneurial mission, creating patented AI-driven locking systems designed to save lives in schools, offices, and critical facilities. A story of courage, innovation, and purpose, this conversation connects military precision with entrepreneurial disruption.

Economist Christian Briggs weighs in on the growing controversy over America's monthly jobs report after significant downward revisions shook confidence in the data. Drawing parallels to corporate reporting standards, Briggs argues that economic indicators must meet the same accuracy expectations as public companies, especially when Federal Reserve policy hangs in the balance. He discusses the case for moving to a bi-monthly release cycle, upgrading outdated government data systems, and applying modern analytics to better capture the fluid reality of employment trends. The takeaway: without trustworthy numbers, policymakers, businesses, and investors are flying blind.

Economist Christian Briggs unpacks the first 24 hours of President Trump's new tariff strategy, explaining why the immediate inflationary pinch could lead to a stronger, fairer U.S. trade landscape. While acknowledging higher short-term costs for everyday goods, Briggs points to Trump's tactical negotiations—especially with China—as a pathway to long-term economic growth. He forecasts a potential $12 trillion injection into the economy through retirement account reforms, coupled with tax cuts or eliminations for middle-income earners. According to Briggs, Americans may start to see the benefits within 6–12 months and feel them fully in 12–18, as strategic trade deals and domestic investment take root.

Economist Christian Briggs joins the show to break down President Trump's historic $2 trillion trade deal with Europe, calling it the most consequential agreement yet. With $750 billion in U.S. energy exports and $600 billion in foreign investment flowing into American infrastructure, manufacturing, and clean energy distribution, Briggs explains why this isn't just a trade win—it's a blueprint for job creation, GDP growth, and renewed industrial strength. From LNG terminals to transportation, ports, and manufacturing, this deal may trigger a bottom-up economic revival with over 200,000 new high-wage jobs. Briggs calls it a strategic masterstroke that weakens Russia, boosts U.S. competitiveness, and shores up domestic prosperity for years to come.

With President Trump's signature, the Genius Act is now law—marking a historic step toward regulated, dollar-backed stablecoins and a potential turning point in America's digital financial future. But is this legislation a framework for innovation or a gateway for centralized control? In this power-packed interview, Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs offer sharp, divergent takes. Briggs defends the Genius Act as a vital safeguard against an overreaching Federal Reserve and an international CBDC agenda, while Hanke warns of political profiteering and crypto's slippery slope toward state-backed surveillance. Together, they dig into the risks, rewards, and global stakes of programmable money, the anti-CBDC movement, and the future of financial privacy. It's a critical conversation that reveals what's really at play beneath the surface of bipartisan support—and why this moment could define the next century of American money.

In this explosive episode, Christian Briggs returns to break down what nearly happened had Trump not won this term—and the centralized monetary system that was already being built behind closed doors. From Ripple's alleged backchannel deals with Kamala Harris to the FedNow platform's role in launching a commercial CBDC without Congress, Briggs exposes the global push toward programmable money and the power structures behind it. He explains how a coalition of lawmakers, spearheaded by Warren Davidson, Tim Scott, and Speaker Mike Johnson, rewrote the course of American finance by passing the Genius Act, Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC bill. The goal? Keep crypto markets free, stop central bank overreach, and preserve individual control over digital assets before it's too late. What unfolded on Capitol Hill wasn't just legislation—it was a financial firewall against a global tide.

On The Bill Meyer Show, economist and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs joins to unpack the skyrocketing interest in gold, the collapse of silver recycling, and the deeper implications of Trump-backed legislation like the Genius Act. With real-time analysis of the U.S. dollar's decline, central banks stockpiling gold, and a global shift toward central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Briggs warns we may be sleepwalking into a programmable money system—where privacy disappears and your wallet could be frozen with a keystroke. He explains how Trump's efforts to stabilize the dollar and boost GDP via digital transformation could hand future administrations the ultimate power switch. From hard assets to hybrid stablecoins, this episode is a wake-up call about the future of money—and the accelerating race to digitize everything.

What does it really mean when your home, bank account, or investments are turned into digital tokens on a blockchain—controlled by third parties and governed by private keys? From Ripple's role in global CBDC infrastructure to Apple and Neuralink's mind-controlled payment tech, Briggs explores how the world is racing toward centralized, programmable money. Are we witnessing the end of financial privacy and free-market capitalism as we know it? And more importantly—what can you do now to protect your wealth and your rights?

This is not a drill—this is the digital pivot already in motion.

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.

Don't miss this urgent discussion—tune in now and stay ahead of the game!

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.
