Plus, Biden continues to slander border patrol. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show.

Now would be an excellent time for your diversify at least a little bit into something that has never been worth zero. I'm talking about precious metals.

presidency, a fully failed presidency. And we are approximately nine months in to his presidency at this point.

On every front, he faces crisis. Specifically this week, he faces a serious crisis on the domestic

front, on the domestic financial front. This is the place where he was supposed to excel. He can't get his party together. And that is because he is not governing the way that he said that he would be governing. A lot of presidents come into office thinking that their mandate is broader than what their actual mandate is. In 2004, for example, George W. Bush won re-election. And he said, well, I'm now the decider and I'm going to push Social Security privatization. It was actually a good plan. But Social Security privatization was not what he had a mandate for. He tried to push it. It backfired. And his presidency was basically lame duck from the beginning of 2005 and on. Well, Joe Biden is another president who's like this. He is elected on the basis of being a moderate, of not being Bernie Sanders, and now he's trying to govern like Bernie Sanders in

every possible way, apparently, and it has backfired on him in spectacular fashion.

We're getting Bernie Sanders without all of the avuncular charm of the grouchy old man shouting at the

moon. Now we just have a grouchy old man mumbling into his soup. So it really

has not worked out well for Joe Biden, which relegated him over the weekend to basically mumbling

on about what a tough hand he had been dealt at the beginning of his presidency. Here was Joe Biden

over the weekend. Take a look at what I inherited when I came into office, when I came into office,

a state of affairs and where we

were. We had four million people vaccinated. We had no plan. I mean, I could go down the list.
