| 0:00.0 | After promising that their expertise would guide Americans through economic hardship, foreign policy, chaos, and global pandemics, the experts have destroyed their own credibility, but still insist you mimic their values. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shepiro Show. |

| 0:23.3 | Well, you may have noticed that the experts are not really great on the economy. |
| 0:26.4 | One thing that they are constantly saying is that, you know, that you should trust them when it comes to inflation and the dollar. |
| 0:31.9 | And then they just kind of blow it every which way. |
| 0:34.2 | So right now, the value of the dollar is really strong. |
| 0:36.1 | But five minutes ago, the value of the dollar was not nearly as strong. So I will tell you, the best historic hedge against inflation, against uncertainty in the market is, in fact, the only asset that has never really been worth zero. I'm talking, of course, about gold. You know, the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen openly admitted to having blown it when it came to inflation. She did this just a couple of months ago. We hit a 40-year high at 9.1% last month, thanks to the geniuses in the White House and around the White House and at the Federal Reserve, she said, I was wrong about the passion that inflation would take. Well, yeah, I know. We all know that. So why exactly would you not hedge against these people? It goes without saying you can't trust these authorities on economic policy.

| 1:44.8 | States, and really not just in the United States, around the world, there is now a revolt against |
| 1:48.5 | the expert class, the people in the bureaucratic elite who have graduated from top universities |
| 1:53.8 | and gone to top level law schools and gotten their PhDs and political science. I'm not talking about |
| 1:58.6 | a revolt against the people who spend their lives actually creating new products and services. |
| 2:02.6 | You know, the scientists who create the web telescope or something or the people who are |
| 2:06.2 | creating brand new technologies in quantum computing. |
| 2:09.0 | That's not what the rebellion that you are seeing worldwide right now is against. |
| 2:12.1 | It's a rebellion against a cadre of folks who tend to believe that they have the capacity |
| 2:17.4 | and ability because they have the capacity and ability |
| 2:18.2 | because they have high IQ to control all the things in the world and make things better |
| 2:22.4 | on every single front so long as you give them inordinate power to do so. |
