Save America Ministries

Guest (Male): This is Viewpoint with attorney and author Chuck Crismier. Viewpoint is a one-hour talk show confronting the issues of America's heart and home. And now with today's edition of Viewpoint, here is Chuck Crismier.

Chuck Crismier: Whether or not you realize it, there is a great shaking going on in our world today. A great shaking, and it comes in many different forms. When you talk about earthquakes, you're talking about tectonic activity. But sometimes those earthquakes occur in economic form. Sometimes they occur in political form, sometimes in moral and social forms. But they all look like earthquakes. Great shaking.

Believe it or not, there has been a great earthquake now, another one that has jolted the Mexico-Guatemala border. 7.3 on the Richter scale today, right on the border of Guatemala. It was felt from Mexico City to El Salvador, and they've actually also given a tsunami warning concerning it because it affects the oceans. So this is something that we're seeing increasingly across the world. In Turkey, just a few weeks ago, there was a major earthquake with hundreds of thousands of people that have lost their places of living and their lives. It just seems like it's echoing everywhere.

Then on top of that, I received word today that California is expecting the big one. The big one in the San Andreas Fault. They say that the current situation there in California is such that the likelihood of the big one occurring is a thousand times higher than it has ever been in the past. A thousand times higher. Unbelievable. Now, I've experienced a lot of earthquakes, friends. The first earthquake was when we had just moved to California. It was on a Sunday afternoon. We were sitting at lunch in some parishioners' homes and all of a sudden, the whole place began to shake.

We've been shaking ever since. We've incurred many an earthquake there in California, even a small one here in Richmond, Virginia. It seems like the shaking is taking place all over the world. But also, economic shaking is taking place. Who would have ever believed that the price of gold that had gone up to $5,500, $5,600 an ounce would be back to $3,900 an ounce just this week? Who would have ever believed that the price of silver that had gone up to $125 an ounce dropped down to $56 an ounce yesterday?

It seems that there's a great shaking everywhere. But why is the shaking taking place? In addition to that, we have another great shaking that's taking place. Actually, it took place last night as the President of the United States delivered his speech concerning the classified documents that have been released, showing how China has hacked a US database of 220 million voters, and that so many other aspects of our elections are so vulnerable as to put in jeopardy the trustworthiness of our entire election system.

Does that not sound like a great shaking? And then in addition to that, the sixth wave of US airstrikes targeting Iranian airports, bridges, and logistic hubs in the sixth consecutive night of precision strikes on Iranian military sites. This is happening as we speak. Where is it all going and what are the significance for us here on these shores? Today, again, Christian Briggs is joining us to talk about not just these things that I've just been mentioning here, but the things that he deals with primarily in his business, which is Hard Asset Management, rare coins, and precious metals. It's directly related to the other things that are going on in our world. Directly related. So if there's a great shaking in other areas of the world, then he's going to experience the great shaking in that area of the world, too. And maybe you are as well. So, Christian, it's good to have you back on the program, my friend.

Christian Briggs: Chuck, it's always an honor to be on your show. It's the best show on the air today.

Chuck Crismier: Well, when you look at the matter of shaking, it takes me back to the '50s where a guy by the name of Elvis Presley sang that song, "I'm All Shook Up." And you live in the state of Tennessee, where he had his place called Graceland. Interestingly, just the other day, I took my wife out to lunch and the gal that served us, her name was Graceland. And I said, "Where did you get the name?" She said, "Well, my parents gave it to me because they were in love with Elvis and they named me after his home." Go figure. Wonders never cease.

Well, here you are, continuing on with Hard Asset Management and dealing with rare coins and precious metals. You're actually in one of the southern states today delivering some of those rare coins that someone has decided to purchase. Why would somebody purchase rare coins, by the way? Why not just get gold? Why not just get silver? Why not get copper? Why rare coins?

Christian Briggs: That's a great question. Again, thanks for having me on the show, Chuck. Well, it's kind of like antiquities in general. There's a fundamental emotional attachment that all human beings have to things, whether those antiquities could be things we drive, things we fly, things we put into our homes on the wall, from cars and even old restored P-51 Mustangs. In Nashville, I know a gentleman who sold his P-51 Mustang to Tom Cruise, the actor. It went for millions and millions of dollars. In fact, there was actually two planes involved because one is for parts.

I guess what happens is we look at the various underlying commodities, and commodities have a lot less emotional attachment. And that's okay. So their demand is going to be based on more of a supply or the fundamental shift in economic dynamics. But when it comes to rarities, I'll give you an example. In the last six weeks, I have sold about 20 of the rarest Patek Philippe watches. Why would that be something that would be even remotely an asset that people would want to chase? Well, because it's the world's number one made watch. And the prices.

Chuck Crismier: Which I had never heard of until you told me.

Christian Briggs: Right. Well, let me tell you. So it wasn't so dear and precious to me. Well, exactly. But here's the funny thing. These kind of watches start at about $100,000 and go up to about $9 million. Oh my goodness. The average watch of the level that we deal in is about $1.5 million. And I was just at a place yesterday, another antiquities dealer who specializes in these watches as well, and in the last week, he sold two for nearly $2 million each. And they're up about 20%. Almost 20% for the first six months across the board, but some of them are up even more than that. Some are up like 50%.

Chuck Crismier: And they don't even come with a steering wheel.

Christian Briggs: No, they don't. But hopefully, you have a steering wheel in your Rolls Royce when you're driving down the road with a watch like this, Chuck.

Chuck Crismier: You know, I was thinking, you're talking about coins, rarity of coins. When I was a kid, I collected postage stamps. And it certainly helped me to understand what was going on in the world because I still have those stamps that I collected when I was 10 to 12 years old. And I don't have any of the rare, rare, rare ones, but I understand that there are some little pieces of paper called postage stamps that now sell for over a million dollars. Who would have ever thought?

Christian Briggs: Oh, way more than that, Chuck. The upside-down plane one we can talk about. That's about five million.

Chuck Crismier: Oh my goodness. I haven't kept up with it. Friends, today we're talking with Christian Briggs. We're not going to talk just about these kinds of things. We're going to talk about what's happening in our world and how it affects the things that he's just been talking about. We'll be right back. Stay tuned.

Guest (Male): Once upon a time, children could pray and read their Bibles in school. Divorces were practically unknown, as was child abuse. In our once great America, virginity and chastity were popular virtues and homosexuality was an abomination. So what happened in just one generation? Hi, I'm Chuck Crismier, and I urge you to join me daily on Viewpoint where we discuss the most challenging issues touching our hearts and homes. Could America's moral slide relate to the fourth commandment? Listen to Viewpoint on this radio station or anytime at saveus.org.

Chuck Crismier: When everything shakes, people shake, friends. And when people shake, there's fear, there's panic, all kinds of things take place. And the Bible says that we should be prepared for such times. In fact, the Bible says that the greatest earthquake of all time is going to occur in the end of the age when all the earth is going to shake and the mountains are going to be laid flat. I don't know what that's going to be like, but I'm telling you, with just the earthquakes that I've been in, I'm not sure I want to get close to that kind of an earthquake.

But there are other things that are shaking us and men's hearts are failing them for fear for the things that are coming upon the world. Jesus said it was going to be like that. And when our friend Christian Briggs was talking about rare watches, it caused me to think, well, probably aren't too many of our listeners here today, Christian, that are going to be interested in those watches, but the Bible says watch for you don't know what time the Lord is going to come. And I think that's the watch that we need to be focusing on right now.

Christian Briggs: Oh, absolutely. You know, the thing about it is when you ask the question, what is why are people buying such incredible rarities? It's emotional, one. I would tend to believe on that. But there's a new underlying economics to antiquity, especially rare coins, rare watches, and rare art. Those are your three symbolisms in the antiquity world. And that is because we're seeing the dollar get destroyed. We're seeing the euro, the pound, the yen, the yuan. We're seeing all major currencies start to deflate, devalue, and one of the underlying reasons is that we're making a global shift to digital currency, and not just cryptocurrency. We're going full centralized as Europe just passed the next level and the next step to go to, they call it the e-Euro or electronic Euro, which is a full-blown central bank digital currency.

Chuck Crismier: Yeah, they already have that in motion. The laws and decisions have been made. They're just waiting for all of the necessary, what shall we say, fundamentals to operate it to be put in place.

Christian Briggs: Yeah, absolutely. Well, they're waiting for two things. Two things, which is what you just said. The fundamentals, which are the interconnecting network systems that are going to bypass the SWIFT. And the SWIFT is the United States rails for money transfer. All the wires for 50, 60, 70 years, we've been using a thing called the SWIFT. Now, China has built a competing platform for money transfer called CIPS. And so because of that, that's why the dollar and our interest rates are staying high. It's not just inflationary. It's a true threat to the sovereignty of the United States, which is number one is our currency, which is our national security. The highest priority in the world is a country's currency to remain solvent. And I don't mean solvent by the very nature of having the currency, but by having the demand of the currency creates a solvency for a country to be able to issue debt. Remember that, debt. We live and thrive on debt. We are a society built on debt. That's why homes are unaffordable for the average American because we socialized the economy with cheap money, which ended up being cheap debt.

Chuck Crismier: All right, now you mentioned that the value of the dollar had been diminishing like so many other currencies out there, the yuan and so on and so forth. Yet just in the last week or so, I have seen reports that the value of the dollar has increased. So it seems like it goes up and down. How do we understand how that works?

Christian Briggs: It doesn't go up. No currency ever goes up on a consistent basis, and I'll tell you why. If you go to the grocery store today and you buy a pound of hamburger, I want you to compare it to a year ago.

Chuck Crismier: Well, I'm not likely to go. In fact, I won't go to Costco and buy a pound of hamburger because they don't sell it in pounds. And when you go to buy it, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, almost as much as one of those watches.

Christian Briggs: Exactly. That's my point. So what they're doing is they're decapitating the people by the very nature of increasing the amount of cash that's out there because they're having to increase the amount of circulating money in order to continue the socialized society. Our economy is built on cheap money. And the more, and I'm going to use the words of Lenin, okay? When the Bolsheviks put together the original plan for the great revolution back in 1909 before the 1917, I call it the Holocaust of Russia where the Tsar was obviously taken into custody at that point. What happened was Lenin said there's going to be three things that I'm going to have to accomplish in order to take down this country or this society.

The third of which will be the most important. The first two are important, but the third is the most important. The first thing he did was convince the government that we need to put more cash into circulation. So the Tsar at the time had full power. He did give up some of that power at some point to the legislators there, which were really just the communists that were looking to overthrow him anyway. And they did increase the money supply in Russia. Okay, that sound familiar the last five years under COVID, right? Okay, that's one. And why does that destroy economies? Well, what it does is it destroys the bottom half of an economy because the 50th percentile and below are usually the ones on the lowest pay scale. So inflation hits them the hardest. Right. If you look at inflation for the last five years, we've seen everything double, triple, or quadruple. Nothing, not one product has at least doubled across the board in five years. That's an annualized inflation rate of about 15 to 20%. Those are real numbers. Look at commercial insurance, home insurance, health insurance, car insurance. Just look at.

Chuck Crismier: Why are you having to remind me of all these painful facts?

Christian Briggs: Because the question you asked begs the answer I give. Okay, so let me just finish this part here. So the destruction of the dollar is not based on what it represents against other currencies. The destruction of the dollar or a currency in general is the destruction based on its buying power within your society, your country. Okay. So Lenin said we're going to create a huge money supply, make people feel wealthier, rich, and we're going to buy their votes. That's the first thing. But what did that do? Created massive inflation. And when the people started to have less money a few years after they instituted this great society of low-cost cash, the people got mad because wages weren't keeping up in Russia. So by 1911, 1912, people were restless. People were rumbling.

Chuck Crismier: And then you end up with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

Christian Briggs: Almost, almost. But so the first thing they did was create the inflation to piss people off, to create a narrative that the government is responsible for your loss of wealth, your loss of buying power. And it worked. The next thing he came out and said, "Whoa, we're going to have to start taxing these people because we've got too much cash out there and the government needs to continue its entitlement programs." Why? People couldn't pay their bills. Sound familiar under Joe Biden?

Chuck Crismier: Yeah, you want to entice the people with more money.

Christian Briggs: Bingo. And now you're buying more votes again. So you're getting what they call the golden handcuffs of entitlement. So first was inflation, the next was taxation, but the third one was the most destructive. If you can't get all the people on board with inflation and taxation, you know what you do? Devaluation. You destroy the currency. You destroy the buying power for even the elite, the top of the food chain. Sound familiar even here, people are complaining that they make a million dollars a year, can't survive in New York City, can't make ends meet in San Francisco at a million dollars a year. Isn't that utterly fascinating? Right. Because even at a million dollars a year in New York, what has my money done? Inflation, taxation, and now currency devaluation. They can't live. Literally, Jamie Dimon said, "We're paying people a million dollars a year and they're just getting by because 60% up to 70% of their income is in taxes."

Chuck Crismier: Well, no wonder Bernie Sanders, who is a multi-millionaire, said, "We're not going to go after the millionaires anymore, we're just going to go after the billionaires."

Christian Briggs: Right, because the millionaires are broke. They're already with the billionaires. Yeah.

Chuck Crismier: Okay. Now, we have a new guy who has just taken over the Fed. We're not talking about the Federal Bureau of Investigation, we're talking about the Federal Reserve. And he's just taken over, and people have been very concerned about what he might do. What say you?

Christian Briggs: He's going to do a great job. And what he's going to do is he's going to rip apart the Federal Reserve, which is a communist, private, socialist entity that's has no oversight. It really doesn't. The President of the United States should have absolute, ultimate sovereignty, decision-making, have the power of hiring and firing without hesitation over any and all central banks. I don't care if they call them a Federal Reserve or whether they're private or a third party or even a close relative of a government agency. President Trump should have the authority to be able to do what needs to be done for the betterment of the country for national security and for strong fiscal monetary policy. But the Supreme Court has not given him that, and they should have given him that.

But he's got a guy in there now that's going to go there and they know this to be a fact because as you know, I know this firsthand is that the Federal Reserve has done nefarious things under prior administrations and has usurped Congress's approval and they have literally built systems for the Central Bank Digital Currency, the CBDC, in conjunction with China and the European Union behind Congress's back over the last six to seven years. And President Trump knows this for all the reasons why. Because I made awareness to all those members of Congress we worked behind the scenes the last five or six years to make sure that everybody was aware what was going on under a clandestine project called the Hamilton Project that the Federal Reserve was working on in various places in both Boston and New York.

And their goal was to take control of the United States money platform. In other words, take control of the dollar, transform us into a digital world or a slave to the digital wallet and then have programmable money and they were going to do that if Hillary had won. They were going to expedite it which they did under Trump's first term. Biden gets in and it gave them the leeway and pretty much the runway to take off and continue it because Joe Biden even signed, you should look this up, he signed an executive order for the expansion and acceleration of the research of a CBDC. The only reason why he signed that EO, if he did sign it, probably was the auto-pen, God knows who signed it then.

Chuck Crismier: Probably his wife.

Christian Briggs: Well, I heard the rumors are Elizabeth Warren was involved in some of that auto-pen stuff. The jury's still out on that, but that's what I've heard and I don't at this point I don't doubt it. But the point is he accelerated the building, expansion, and even one of the co-founders of a company called Ripple, which is the backbone to the majority of central bank digital currencies, Ripple, look it up. One of their co-founders gave Kamala Harris's campaign as she was running $11 million because here's why. He said, "This will expand and promote my platform." Number two, the FedNow, called FedNow, which the Fed has been denying this but we have many, many papers to actually push back on their lies, and that is that was going to be the gateway where they were going to migrate all the bank customers of the United States because they were telling the banks, "Hey, let us handle all of your bank customers transactions. It's like you go get the customers, we'll onboard them, you'll be on our backbone." And don't worry, they were going to eliminate the banks. That's what FedNow was. It was the gateway to deploy the CBDC.

Chuck Crismier: All right, now when you say CBDC, we've got all these acronyms. Every ailment we have now has to have an acronym. So CBDC, translate that in direct terms for us.

Christian Briggs: Well, here's how it works. You have two types of ways to transact on a digital, we'll call it crypto. Let's just call it crypto because everybody can understand that. It's basically a piece of code that identifies uniquely a token. And if you centralize the way of which it transacts from A to B from a buyer and a seller, the centralization is very much like the old term if I centralize power, a handful of people control the masses like in the Soviet Union. When Lenin took over Russia, he centralized all the power, took it from the locals, which back then they still had what they call provinces, like states and stuff. He centralized everything at the Kremlin which was again in Moscow, which was the palace technically, but that became the Kremlin, which was the Politburo of Russia and now it became the Soviet Union. That's centralizing the power. Well, the same thing when you reflect on the currency on a centralized system. A handful of people can now run, control, and then mitigate anything they want when it comes to transactional and program that. So if Chuck Crismier says, "You know what? I think I'm going to buy this," and that this could be any number of different things. By centralizing the way of which money will transfer in a centralized manner, then the overseer, whoever that is, it could be one person overseeing millions and millions of people in real time, can decide that's not going to happen. You are not going to buy the product. You are not going to go on that vacation, too much carbon footprint. You are not going to buy beef because we're not going to have that kind of climate change issues. You're not going to do this or that. You're going to, in fact, you can only buy bugs and eat those bugs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's what we're talking about centralization. It's the purest communist way of which to enslave people in a digital world.

Chuck Crismier: So it's about control. And when you take the CBDC, it stands for Centralized Banking Digital Currency, is that right?

Christian Briggs: Yeah, absolutely.

Chuck Crismier: Okay. Centralized Banking Digital Currency. So when the actual currency is converted to digital currency, what happens?

Christian Briggs: Well, that's coming. What happens is you're going to wake up one Monday morning or a Friday afternoon and when you go to your bank or ATM, you want to pull cash out, they're going to say, "Sorry, Charlie, there's no tuna in the can."

Chuck Crismier: You ain't got no money and somebody else is going to have control now. See if you can get yours. All right, we'll be right back after this with Christian Briggs, friends. He is the CEO of Hard Asset Management, rare coins and precious metals. And we'll give you an opportunity to tell you how you can get ahold of him if you're interested.

Guest (Male): There's so much more about Chuck Crismier and Save America Ministries on our website, saveus.org. For example, under the marriage section, God has marriage on His mind. Chuck has some great resources to strengthen your marriage. First off, a fact sheet on the state of the marital union, a fact sheet on the state of ministry marriage and morals, saveus.org. Marriage, divorce, and remarriage. What does the Bible really teach about this? Find all of this at saveus.org. Also, a letter to pastors, the Hosea Project, saveus.org, and many more resources to strengthen your marriage. It's all on Chuck's website, saveus.org. Again, you can listen to Chuck's Viewpoint broadcast live and archived, Save America Ministries website at saveus.org.

Chuck Crismier: Again, we're joined by Christian Briggs. He's joined us quite a number of times over the past say nine, 10 months here on the program periodically when it seems like there's a unique place for him to speak into what's happening in our world so that we can all understand it a little bit more effectively. And Christian, you have to keep yourself up on all of these things because of the area, the niche that you deal in with hard assets and rare coins and precious metals because their values and their prices fluctuate depending upon, well, how stable the world is, don't they?

Christian Briggs: Correct. And that's what's happening. People are starting to recognize even people that have not been as up to speed on especially what's going on in this particular area of the world, which is really everybody should be focused number one on their God said, you know, "I'll give you the money, you got to be custodians of it." So you need to know what's coming. This isn't some something that's conjecture. This is happening. If you go online and you put in "European Union CBDC approval," it's there. It comes out next year in beta. And then by '29, it's full-blown. In fact, here in the United States, we are going to come out with it on or before January 1st of 2030 or even possibly as soon as '29.

Chuck Crismier: So 2030 still is the target date for everything that we've been hearing for the past six, seven years.

Christian Briggs: We've been listening to that. Listen, I've been hearing this 2030, and if you go back as long as 10, even 15, 20 years ago, the World Economic Forum said back in the late '90s that they said by 2030, the world will have a one unified fiscal policy. And people go, "Oh, what's that? That's where we get all of our ducks in a row. That's where we get our fiscal house in order with the GDP." No, what they meant was we're going to have one unifying global platform. And here's the scary thing: it's working.

Chuck Crismier: That's what the last Pope called for very explicitly.

Christian Briggs: Yeah, and nothing's changed. In fact, Biblical, if you look at a lot of the ways a lot of people interpret Revelation, it wasn't specifically saying 2030, but there were definitely signs and things of which God told John to put in Revelation. And that 2030, it didn't just come out of a hat. It was universal. I've said this before. People have said, "Well, how do you know Jesus was God?" Because let me tell you one thing. Forget the stars, forget the three wise men. Who else could have started a new clock? Who could have stopped the calendar and it took three years for the birth of Christ to go around what was at the time the known world for that news to go around. Nobody. Muhammad didn't do it. Buddha didn't do it. Who had the power to create a world clock at a time when the only thing that was being transcribed was clay tablets? That means God is real, Christ is real, more than just knowing it. So the Bible is real.

Chuck Crismier: Well, here's an interesting fascination. I'm not going to say this as a means of thus saith the Lord, but it certainly is fascinating. It would appear that Jesus was born around 4 BC. That's the most agreed-to time based upon history. And if that be the case, then he completed his ministry somewhere around 2030. Excuse me, not 2030 but 30 AD. So the Bible says that after two days, we go to the book of Hosea, I think it's chapter six, "after two days, I will raise them up and the third day, I will reign and rule in their sight." Two days. A day with the Lord is as a thousand years, a thousand years is a day. So what we have had is almost 2,000 years since Christ died and rose again. Died and rose again in 2030, therefore 2030 AD. Therefore 2030 is exactly two days or 2,000 years after that moment. It's a fascinating thing to look at and it certainly lines up in many respects with the famous Bishop Usher's countdown for the birth of the creation and the end of the age.

Christian Briggs: Chuck, you took the words out of my mouth. I have been saying that Christ talked about two days and one day was equal to a thousand years, two millenniums. And if you look at when the birth of Christ was, let's say December 25th, that is just a few days from when the first day of 2030. Think about that, okay? So the like I said before, we didn't just make this stuff up. Everybody the 2030 timeline and the agenda that was given about 25 years ago is when I think I first heard someone say 2030. And it didn't put me honestly it was like, "Oh, okay, whatever." And then it started to kind of resonate. It was late '90s or early 2000, 2001. So maybe 25 to 26, 27 years ago. But I remember hearing somebody say something, and where it came from or at least originated at that point where this gentleman heard it and told me was from the World Economic Forum. There was a meeting and that's where it started. And these are atheist communist non-Christians and they hate the Christians. And that's what to be a WEF person, you have to be anti-capitalist because communism is an atheist method of which to control the people, a way to live. So the WEF by its own definition by its own admissions and definitions is a atheist cult that believes in one unitary government, one unitary currency, and one supreme leader. And that would be a worldly way of which to run the world. And that was their goal.

Chuck Crismier: Commonly known in the Bible as the Antichrist.

Christian Briggs: Correct. That's where I was going. Yeah. And so we know this to be true because more WEF people embrace Islam as a religion of peace and that's the one that they're promoting. But they don't the Jewish community, the Christian community, no way, you're out. You're not going to be a part of this. They're going to promote an atheist type secular government and they're going to promote if there is a religion, they're promoting Islam because they know in whoever this Antichrist is or at least people that are associated with him because he's got his own little group that we know this. The 2030 was universally adopted and nobody pushed back. Think about it. It's been adopted by corporations, it's been adopted by governments. It's the "in" thing.

Christian Briggs: Right. That means it's the right time. That's Biblical then. You can't push back on the truth. Now, you might not want to believe the truth, but the truth will always set you free and you can't change truth because it's like math. It is truth. So the 2030 is real. If you look at just what got passed in Congress, the mandate to make CBDC go live is January 1st of 2030. That got passed in the United States. So they hold it off until 2030. Why that number? Because that's the number that God chose.

Chuck Crismier: That's the focus number. Okay. Now, that being the case then, there's a very pointed question that I have for you. Why should anybody put money into gold or silver or rare coins or whatever if the whole system is going digital and you're not going to have control of your money?

Christian Briggs: That's a great question. You're welcome. And I'm going to give you a great answer. I want you to look I want you to think about this and look in the past. All history, everything of our past always comes around again. History repeats itself. We as a society can learn so much from the past to create a better future, but we don't. We don't think like that. But for the ones who do and in just a small percentage, think about this. If you look at any time in the history of the world, regardless of period, country, ruler, it doesn't matter. Whenever there was chaos, whenever there was imbalances within the economics, the society itself or the currency of a country, whether it was a war, whether it was fascism, whether it was socialism, whether it was communism.

Chuck Crismier: Or a shaking in other words.

Christian Briggs: Anything, what did people do with their paper assets? They converted to hard assets as fast as humanly possible. Art, coins, diamonds, rubies, and things like that and rare watches. They always convert. There's always going to be a buyer. I don't care what happens in society, there's always a buyer of the Mona Lisa. There'll always be a buyer of a Picasso.

Chuck Crismier: Well, somebody might say, Christian, that, well, you can't hook up a trailer on your way to heaven, so how are you going to take that stuff with you?

Christian Briggs: Well, how are you going to survive if they go full digital? You're going to need bargaining chips. You're going to need things that have stored value.

Chuck Crismier: In other words, you still have to live and occupy until Jesus comes.

Christian Briggs: You got to. I mean, the last I checked, Bank of America or any other bank's going to want their bill for the mortgage.

Chuck Crismier: Yeah. Hey, if somebody wanted to get ahold of you listening to your very profound insights into the world and history, how would they do that? Give us very clearly, very succinctly, how they would do that.

Christian Briggs: Well, if they want to hear my podcast shows which you're very gracious for helping me to promote that, which is great, you can go to YouTube or Apple and put "On the Record with Christian Briggs." And that's on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. The YouTube we have a full video presentation that associates with our show. The audio portions you can find on Spotify and of course Apple. But if you want to learn if your listeners truly want to take today's show and understand to the depths and the levels of what I'm speaking to, the last show we just did on YouTube, which is basically a very high level and detailed oriented show on CBDC, then go to YouTube because our next show which will launch on that channel here in about three or four days is on Palantir and Flock. You're going to love that show. Palantir and Flock.

Chuck Crismier: Oh yeah, we're going to be talking about Flock. And we're not we don't want to flock together after Flock, but it's very dangerous.

Christian Briggs: This is not the flocks of birds of the same feather. This is a bad deal. And I just so you know, it wasn't that long ago I was in Rome with one of the co-founders of Palantir on a special envoy mission. And I will tell you that he's a good guy. I don't think he would be the one that I would ever think is nefarious by any means. Good guy. I appreciated him. He was a Christian. See, I always said this. It's not the gun that kills, it's the hand in which the holds and pulls the trigger. As long as you know that the individual, female or male, doesn't matter, guns don't discriminate between genders. As long as you know that the person in charge of something very high level, very important, very in this case take Palantir. It's extremely sophisticated software that basically can run systems and take databases and they scrub those databases and then they can determine even in advance human behavior based on the consistency of the behavior of an individual and they can actually predict things or certainly put them into predictable models. As long as the individuals who hold the access. And one thing the guy at Palantir has said repeatedly, the CEO Karp, that they don't gather information. That's true. The intelligence communities give them that information, then they take that information and regurgitate that back. So watch who controls the information and make sure he's of a Christian nature.

Chuck Crismier: All right, when we get back, I'm going to give you an opportunity to further state how people could get ahold of you. Again, Christian Briggs joining us here on the program today, friends. You're listening to Viewpoint. Viewpoint does determine destiny. I'm going to share a little bit with you when we get back concerning the brand new book just off the press. Stay tuned.

Guest (Male): Have you ever considered what the early church was like? Many people are developing a heart longing for a greater fulfillment in our practices as Christians. A recent study showed 53,000 people a week are leaving the back door of America's churches in frustration. What is going on? Why has there not been even a 1% gain among followers of Christ in the last 25 years? Could it be that God is seeking to restore first-century Christianity for the 21st century? Jesus said, "I'll build my church." Is Christ by His spirit stirring to prepare the church for the 21st century? The early church prayed together and broke bread from house to house. They were family. And it was said by all who observed, "Behold how they love one another." Incredible. But the same can be found right now. Go to saveus.org and click Cell Church. We can revive first-century Christianity for the 21st century. It's about people, not programs. It's about a body, not a building. That's saveus.org, click Cell Church.

Chuck Crismier: Again, we're joined by Christian Briggs. He's joined us quite a number of times over the past say nine, 10 months here on the program periodically when it seems like there's a unique place for him to speak into what's happening in our world so that we can all understand it a little bit more effectively. And Christian, you have to keep yourself up on all of these things because of the niche that you deal in with hard assets and rare coins and precious metals. Because their values and their prices fluctuate depending upon, well, how stable the world is, don't they?

Christian Briggs: Correct. And that's what's happening. People are starting to recognize even people that have not been as up to speed on especially what's going on in this particular area of the world, which is really everybody should be focused number one on their God said, you know, "I'll give you the money, you got to be custodians of it." So you need to know what's coming. This isn't some something that's conjecture. This is happening. If you go online and you put in "European Union CBDC approval," it's there. It comes out next year in beta. And then by '29, it's full-blown. In fact, here in the United States, we are going to come out with it on or before January 1st of 2030 or even possibly as soon as '29.

Chuck Crismier: So 2030 still is the target date for everything that we've been hearing for the past six, seven years. Now, what you may not know, Christian, I'm going to just put in a little plug here. My 12th book just came off the press this week and we have received them. Very excited about it. Our listeners are already beginning to respond as they hear about it. And we have offered a special program or project called the Overcomers Project. The title of the book is "The Power to Overcome." And these are times. Jesus said you have to become an overcomer. Only those who are truly overcomers from His viewpoint now are going to receive His blessings, His protection, His blessings in times like these. Jesus said so seven times in the first two chapters or first three chapters of Revelation and one time to wrap up the book of Revelation in chapter 21.

So they sandwich, they give actually the real meaning of the book of Revelation. In other words, what the truth you take away from the book of Revelation, what you can do, how you respond to the book of Revelation. Whether you understand the rest of the book isn't the issue. The issue is now what do I do? This is the book, what does God want me to do? And that's what this book is about. That's what this book is about for times like these, "The Power to Overcome." It's a $25 book and what we're offering now is to assist you, my friends, in becoming a partner with us to disseminate this message as quickly as possible in your sphere of influence. So for your gift of $250 to Save America Ministries, we're going to put 10 copies of the book in your hands. That donation then is a true donation, it is tax-deductible, and then we in turn, in order to carry out the mission of what we're doing here, will provide you with 10 copies of the book and then you distribute it as you wait on the Lord to give you direction as to the individuals that you think should have that book. It's not for unbelievers, it's for professing believers. Weak believers, that's fine, but it's for professing believers. That's God's warmest audience. So take advantage of that. How do you do that? You can give us a call, 1-800-SAVE-USA. 1-800-SAVE-USA. You can go to the website, saveus.org, and right there on the donation button, you'll be able to establish that. You can write a check, send it to Save America Ministries. If you do that, if you write a check, make sure you put a note or something on your check that says it's for the Overcomers Project. Otherwise, we won't know that that's what your intent is. Okay. So I hope you'll do that and you'll do it quickly. The book is not released yet. The book doesn't get released actually officially until next month. Next month. So you're going to get the first copies of this book. Two sets of these just went out in the last two days to our listeners. Two sets of 10 each just went out in the last two days. Make sure you get one set. Call us 1-800-SAVE-USA, go to the website saveus.org or write to us.

All right, Christian, back to the driving of these issues. Last night, the President of the United States gave us a pretty shaking address. It was like a political earthquake. And they called it a primetime address addressing the declassification of intelligence that detailed Chinese election targeting and voting machine vulnerabilities. In other words, basically telling us as Americans, we can't trust our election process. That's pretty shaking, don't you think?

Christian Briggs: That's as shaky as it gets. If your elections aren't of the highest integrity, then what's going to happen is there is no elections. Those are appointments at best. So what the President was trying to say was, which is very clear, that China had a direct influence in the way of which the ballots were both submitted and any of the outcomes of the local state or at the federal level. In other words, China was running the show. When they said, "Oh, Russia was the one that supported interfered in Trump's first term," what they really meant to say is, "We're going to interfere like we've done in the past, even more egregiously in 2024 than Trump won in 2016." So we had the intelligence community Comey, Brennan, Clapper, all of these guys and what they were told by Obama in 2016, "Do it this way. We got to create the Russian hoax."

Then in 2024, Stacy Abrams out of Georgia and then Barack Obama and all of his definitively bad, bad people. Oh, terrible people. Terrible people. They got together and said, "We got to deal here." So they cut a deal with China. They already had been talking to remember the Federal Reserve and China's central bank are very close and very tight. They built systems in that entwined each other for the communist takeover of the United States through a digital currency had Trump not won first term. That would have already been done by 2021, '22, even '23. Biden accelerated it. And then when Trump finally won second term here, this recent one, they were there was too many eyes on the election. There were too many people in places that were going to make sure that it was a real election.

Now, they tried to cheat, the Democrats. Make no mistake about it. They're going to do it. But we had too many eyes in 2024 on this new election. So thank goodness that a lot of those things in 2025 which came to fruition for 2026, we were able to maintain some consistency and the integrity of the election system. But Trump's right. The President's right. I've known about it for years. The interference was incredible. Remember when Chuck Lindell, MyPillow, he was sued by Dominion saying that you're wrong? Exactly. Do you know who owns do you know who's the majority owner in Dominion voting systems? The Chinese government. Do you know who set that up? UBS. UBS sold for 400 million a portion of Dominion to a Chinese company, which ultimately was Chinese government. They did this kind of stuff in order to make sure that China had a direct in-route to be able to take the election with the ballots, right? Because we knew that the ballots were being mass-produced and printed in China, flown over before the election in 2024 to get ready for November. And next thing you know, all of these fake ballots and that's why there's those big spikes. Joe Biden was not elected by any measure. He was appointed. He may have taken the oath of office, but he was the first that we can confirm non-elected President of the United States. Trump got robbed. Then they went after this poor guy. They couldn't just take the President election away from him in 2024. They decided to persecute him, prosecute him.

Chuck Crismier: Absolutely. Okay. So that tells us that this is a very desperate situation. So then on top of that is what is called the Save America Act. The Save America Act is about protecting and restoring election integrity in the country by requiring that every voter prove their citizenship and their identity as who they are. It should be pretty simple because you can't get on an airplane, you can't do anything hardly without a driver's license, without proving your identity. And this should not be a problem. But Lisa Stefani or whatever her name is, not Stefanik, another name like that, who is a senator in Michigan, came out this week and publicly revealed the problem. Here's what she said. She said if the Save America Act passes, from that time on, Democrats will not be able to elect anybody to public office. Now, what did she mean by that? She meant that the only way Democrats can take those offices is by fraud, by trickery, by stealing, by cheating. That was the implicit in what she said. Very, very powerful revelation.

Christian Briggs: The fact she said it, which we knew it. It's kind of like this, it's like we knew, we knew exactly what the Democrats had been doing since the war on poverty in '64, '65, and '66 started with LBJ. It wasn't about helping inner-city families. It was about helping themselves to more voters. And that's what they did. They basically got them drunk on free money, poor people that had no business of their own to be able to manage their own finances. The government said, "No, no, we're going to step up and be we're going to be your caregivers now."

Chuck Crismier: We're going to be your God, in other words.

Christian Briggs: They did. That's what they did.

Chuck Crismier: We're going to be God, your Father, and we're going to provide you an abundance for every good work that we want you to do or not do as long as you vote for us.

Christian Briggs: Correct. You got it. And that's what happened. Talk about skulduggery. And unfortunately, our African American friends bought into it hook, line, and sinker. Totally deceived and led by their pastors who were seduced into supporting that in order to gain a protect political power. Just a travesty of utmost importance. It causes me to shake my head that a people group have been so ripped off, so taken advantage of, and yet have no clue what happened to them. You got it. That's exactly right. And destroy the family unit.

Chuck Crismier: Yes, sir. All right, Christian, we've talked about a lot of things. These things are like earthquakes in our country and around the world. If it involves China, which is the second largest country by population of the world, you know this is world-shaking what just happened last night. And then today, what's continuing to happen in Iran. This is not a Sunday school picnic. The wave of US airstrikes is getting increasingly strong, increasingly focused, and we don't know ultimately where it's going to lead. But things are shaking. Everything is shaking. Which could possibly mean that someone out there that had the resources might just want to do what they could to stabilize their position economically before the CBDC rolls out and more shaking takes place. So again, if people want to contact you concerning that, they would do it by going to bmcham.com. bmcham.com. And if they wanted to give you a phone call, they'll find the number right there on that website. Is that correct?

Christian Briggs: Yes, sir. You can find us right there 24/7. Somebody will pick up the phone in customer service. It's 844-426-4653. Write that one down. 844-426-4653. Okay. Yes, sir. 844-426-4653.

Chuck Crismier: Okay. Very good. And then you've got the thing on YouTube. The name of that program again is?

Christian Briggs: On the Record with Christian Briggs. On the Record with Christian Briggs.

Chuck Crismier: On the record. On the record. Almost sounds like a legal thing.

Christian Briggs: Sometimes it is. You're going on the record. Do we have to swear in to listen? No, sir. You just have to have a willingness and open ears.

Chuck Crismier: Hey, thanks so much again, Christian, for joining us here on the program, friends. These are exciting times. I hope you become a partner, send your gifts by faith to Save America Ministries. One of the things that is hard for people to understand is that for 31 years, we've continued on the air relying on not one commercial support, and no person associated with Save America Ministries receives a salary or any stipend from your donations. Now, figure that one out. Only God could do that. What happens to your donations? They go to make it possible for this program to get out there on the airwaves as best as possible as far as we can so long as the funds are there. Be God's hand extended. God bless.

Guest (Male): God bless you for listening to Viewpoint with Chuck Crismier. Viewpoint is supported by the faithful gifts of our listeners. Let me urge you to become a partner with Chuck as a voice to the church, declaring vision for the nation. Join us again next time on Viewpoint as we confront the issues of America's heart and home.
