Hard Asset Money Show -- Hire American, Pay American: Christian Briggs Torches H-1B Cheap Labor
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.
Hard Asset Money Show -- The Genius Act: America’s Digital Dollar Revolution—or the Road to Financial Tyranny?
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.
