There's plenty of news to get you through the weekend.

So, that's not going to let up. We'll talk about all of that in one second, but first, let's talk about the national debt. $1.2 trillion. That's what was added to the national debt in fiscal year 2018. Economists say by the end of 2019, we'll be spending more on the interest of our national debt than we spend on Medicare.

There have been a number of news items. with precious metals investing. All right. So suffice it to say that the last 72 hours have not been

kind to President Trump. We've been a number of news items and I'm going to try and break them all

down for you today in a comprehensible fashion because there's been so much news breaking with regard to

the Mueller investigation that it's hard to keep on top of it. And I know that you're hearing two

competing narratives, two competing narratives.

Competing narrative number one is the one you're hearing from the left.

Doom is imminent for President Trump's.

It's all over.

It turns out that Michael Cohen is going to spill the beans.

We're this close to impeachment.
