We'll get to all the news in just one moment. First,

let me remind you that since time immemorial, gold has been the form of wealth that people have

sought after. Remember that time there was a Miller who promised a king that his daughter could

spin straw into gold and then he locked her in a room to make her spin gold. One of the things

that he didn't make her do is spin the straw into United States government bonds. And the reason for that is because anytime you have centralized currency, you got to worry about the government doing exactly what the government has been doing for the last couple of years, inflating the living hell out of the currency. In pretty monumental news recently, it was recently announced Social Security benefits are going to increase by 5.9% in January. That is the highest increase in 40 years. That is the government admitting

inflation is out of control. And yet the left is still pushing through trillions more in spending.

All righty, so let's talk about the fact that Joe Biden made a big boo-boo. He made a big boo-boo. During the campaign, he was faced with the prospect of having to pick a vice president. And he had a lot of choices in front of him. He could have picked somebody like Amy Klobuchar. He could have tack attacked it to the center. He could have picked somebody like Elizabeth Warren, who made the hearts of progressives flutter. Or he could try to please the intersectional coalition by picking a black lady. And he decided that he was going to please the intersectional coalition by picking a black lady. But not just any black lady, a black lady who had attacked him as a racist, as a possible sexual assaulter, and also had been so

terrible as a campaigner that she had flamed out completely before even her home state of California

could take a primary vote. Kamala Harris is a complete failure as a politician. She's senator from

California, essentially because any Democrat who is a warm body can win in California. And the only

reason that she's vice president of the United States right now is because Joe Biden plucked her off the ash heap of politics and decided to make her vice president supposedly because he needed somebody of color on the ticket, which of course is not true, considering that he had blown away Bernie Sanders in the primaries, specifically on the basis of the black vote in places like South Carolina. So he made a boo-boo. He essentially signed Blaine Gabbert to a backup role and then realized that Blaine-Gabert was Blaine-Gabert. And now the leaks are upcoming, because here is the thing. Joe Biden is doing a terrible job as president. Everybody knows he's doing a terrible job as president. He's in the low 40s, high 30s in terms of approval rating. And so normally, if you're a Democrat, you'd be thinking, okay, fine. So Joe Biden's going to take the hit. He's going to do all these very progressive, transformative things. And once he does these progressive transformative things, he's going to step out of the way. He will take all of the cannon fire. And then the next person will step up into glory because they will have this track
