Slash, Ben, we'll get to all the news in just one second. First, you may have noticed it's been pretty chaotic out there this year. It's going to be chaotic into the future because we are spending money that we simply do not have, which means that you can expect at some point. There will be tax increases or there will be inflation. Here is the bottom line. You're going to want to diversify at least a little bit into precious metals,

and this is where my friends at Birch Gold come in.

How about putting some real silver in your loved one stocking this year? That's right, because right now, through December 21st, for every $5,000 you spend with Birch Gold Group on physical gold or silver, or investing in your precious metals IRA, Birch Gold will send you bonus silver, which is a great deal. It's the countdown to inauguration day.

It's a great time to pull some of the earnings out of the stock market, solidify those savings through diversification. And God forbid, the Democrats were to win those Senate seats in Georgia. Things could get real dicey for your stock portfolio really quickly. Here's what you need to do. Text Ben to 4747.47. When you speak to your Birch Gold representative, Let them know you want the free silver with your purchase.

Even if you're investing in a precious metals IRA, you still get that physical silver delivered directly to your door. I've been working with the folks at Birch Gold for years. They're people that I trust. They're people I think you should trust as well. Call them up, ask them all your questions, get all your answered, and then look to invest with Birch Gold.

So we begin this morning with a fascinating piece over at the Columbia

Journalism Review. This piece was not meant to be a rip on CNN, but it is in fact a rip on

very often, are not following the news. They are creating the news, or they've decided
