First, I've been telling you for a long time, you might want to take at least a little bit of your money and diversify into gold, silver, some sort of precious metal. Why? Because it hedges against inflation and uncertainty. Hmm? Hmm? If you'd listened to me years ago, you would be a lot wealthier right now because there was a lot of uncertainty this year.

County, we have more chaos, more election chaos.

So you'll recall to recap our dramatic story. On Tuesday night, the Wayne County, Michigan

Board of Canvassers voted to two-two. They deadlocked on whether to actually certify the votes

in Wayne County. That includes Detroit. Overall, Wayne County is like 1.4 million voters. And there are two

Republicans and two Democrats on the commission. And the Republicans were very upset because the

poll books in about 70% of the various absentee counting precincts were not balanced. Well, what

that means is that you signed up for the absentee ballot. And then your vote actually was not tabulated in the same numbers as you signed the poll books. Right? The number of votes recorded in the poll books at a precinct didn't match the number of tabulated votes at those precincts. So very often when you go to the precincts, they make you sign into the book and then you go and you vote. If the number of signatures does not match the number of votes, then obviously the books are out of balance, right? This is what the Republicans were worried about. Now, the numbers that the books were out of balance are not generally huge. It's not like they're out of balance by 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 votes in each precinct. No, they're usually off like somewhere between 1 and 4 votes. But Republicans were very concerned about this. Now, to be fair,

there were exactly these same sorts of problems in Wayne County in 2016. The votes got certified.

They had the same problems a little bit earlier this year because they had a special election.

The votes still got certified. The Republicans said they initially voted against certifying

because they were worried about these discrepancies. And again, it is

perfectly fair to audit the vote and make sure that everybody who legally voted gets counted

and everybody who illegally voted does not get counted. Monica Palmer was the Republican chair
