New Zealand's government bans the sale of semi-automatic weapons.

The woke scolds come for Jordan Peterson, and President Trump keeps getting in his own way.

A lot of news coming at you today. We will get to all of it. First, let's talk about how you can hedge

against inflation and uncertainty in the market. In 2008, U.S. national debt was $10 trillion. Today, the debt is nearly $22 trillion, and it is rising like a hockey stick. If you don't think that we are sitting on a house of cards, then you should have another thing coming. And this is one of the reasons you should diversify. Hedge against and uncertainty, and instability with precious metals.

Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty. My savings plan is diversified at least a little bit,

and yours should be too, at least a little bit. The company I trust with precious metal purchases,

Birch Gold Group. Right now, thanks to a little-known IRS tax law, and can even move that IRA or

eligible 401K into an IRA backed by physical gold and silver, which is great for some folks who want to protect their hard-earned retirement savings from market vicissitudes. Looking back historically when the bottom falls out, gold is still worth something and ain't true of most assets. Birch Gold Group has thousands of satisfied customers, countless five-star reviews, and an A-plus rating with Better Business Bureau. Contact Birch Gold Group.

See if diversifying into gold and silver makes sense for you.

And get that comprehensive 16-page kit revealing how golden silver can protect your savings

That is Ben to 4747.47.

All right. So the big breaking news this morning is obviously that New Zealand has now banned

semi-automatic weapons. They're imposing a broadband on guns after this horrific white supremacist terror attack on mosques in Christchurch.

According to the Wall Street Journal, New Zealand moved to ban military-style semi-automatic

weapons, assault rifles, and high-capacity magazines.

Whenever folks say military-style, they just mean semi-automatic weapons, because the only

thing that distinguishes a semi-automatic military weapon from any other

semi-automatic weapon is presumably caliber size, muzzle velocity maybe, and the look of the gun.
