Trump Economy 2.0 Under Fire: Iran Oil Shock Tests Markets and Exposes the Real State of U.S. Jobs

As markets whipsaw on war headlines and Washington spins the numbers, audiences need someone who can connect the dots between geopolitics, Main Street, and their retirement account. Economist and Christian financial commentator Christian Briggs is available to break down what’s really happening in the U.S. economy right now.

Briggs is a veteran economist and hard‑assets strategist with nearly 40 years in the markets, CEO of Hard Asset Management, and host of the Hard Asset Money Show and “On The Record with Christian Briggs.” He has advised members of Congress and the Senate on trade, inflation, and the risks of a debt‑soaked dollar. He’s known for clear, unapologetically pro‑growth analysis from a Christian worldview, and for warning early about the dangers of weaponized data, central‑bank digital currency, and U.S. dependence on hostile regimes.

Suggested talking points for your audience:

• Trump Economy 2.0 – Is this recovery real?
  What the latest inflation and growth numbers actually say about President Trump’s second‑term economic policies, why Wall Street keeps getting the data wrong, and whether we are headed for a “multi‑term legacy” of stronger GDP and small‑business momentum—or another debt hangover.
• Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and your wallet
  How the war with Iran and the threat to the Strait of Hormuz feed straight into American gas prices, grocery bills, and 401(k)s, why gold and other hard assets tend to move before “catastrophic events,” and what a Christian view of stewardship looks like in a high‑risk world.
• The “accuracy crisis” in U.S. jobs data
  Why repeated revisions to the monthly jobs report are distorting Fed policy and market expectations, how bad data hurts working families, and simple reforms that could restore honesty and accountability to the numbers politicians love to quote.
• Digital dollars and “they can shut off your money”
  The hidden risks in recent digital‑asset and “genius” bills moving through Washington, how third‑party control over your money collides with economic freedom and religious liberty, and practical steps for families and churches to protect their savings.

Briggs is a fast, high‑energy guest who can speak to:

U.S. inflation, interest rates, and the 2026 outlook

Energy prices and the Iran conflict’s impact on American families

Gold, hard assets, and biblical stewardship of wealth

Trump’s tariff and trade strategy and what it means for jobs and manufacturing

Would you like to book him for an upcoming segment on the economic fallout of the Iran war and what it means for American families this week? I’d be happy to coordinate a segment and send recent clips.
