The Well, the world of AI is scaring the hell out of about all of us, I think.

And it is something Christian, it's probably because, I mean, there's so much fear out there

and there's so much we don't know and that I think people are like their, their worst fears are the visuals.

They see, and you know a lot of it too.

There's the films and the movies and stuff we've seen out of Hollywood that scare the hell out of you, you know, over time.

And now here we are. It's like in full, full stream here. Let me welcome in here first.

Kristen Briggs is with us. He's an economic strategist, founder and CEO of hard asset management

and BMC Capital. And Christian, I love talking to you, man. I love having you on. So,

well, thanks for having me. All right. There are, so here's, I want to start here. There are three biggest fears. You did a fabulous paper here. A, what do you call it? What do you call it a white paper? What would you call that? Yeah, it's a white paper analysis on various subject matters that are requested by people in D.C. Man, you are kick ass on some of those stuff. I've seen a couple of them now you've done. And I mean, it's like, wow, you look at these things. They're not quick reads at all. You put a lot of thought and I actually, I actually messaged you back to remember and I said, now did you do all this? Or do you, you know, I figure you might have a room of people in there doing it, but you said, no, hell, I did it.

But when I got out of that, is the three biggest fears for future generations is what I'm calling it here.

One is quantum AI factor, okay?

The second is China versus USA.

And the third is Islam in America.

Okay, there's the three I got from that paper, right?

Is that correct?

Yeah.

I want to start with that number two, China versus USA, and this is interesting here.

Over the past period of time now, it's been a while with President Trump, he asserts that the United States is leading China in AI by a significant margin, he says. Those are his words. Lead in China

in AI by significant margin. And then he says that we're, these are his quotes, the U.S. is leading China by a lot.

And he does that a lot.

It's like huge.

You know, he's so dramatic.
