Hard Asset Money Show -- Trump and Democrats Unite: Tackling National Overspending Together

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.

Hard Asset Money Show --Reviving American Manufacturing: Understanding Tariffs

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.

Hard Asset Money Show --Trump Tariffs on BRICS Nations

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.

Hard Asset Money Show --The Real Reasons Behind the Ukraine Conflict Revealed

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.

Hard Asset Money Show --Breaking News: Russia's Nuclear Threat Escalates!

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?

Hard Asset Money Show -- BRICS Gold Strategy: A Game Changer for Global Markets

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.

Hard Asset Money Show -- Potential Tax Implications For US Citizens

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.
