Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first. On this Wednesday, one of my favorite sayings is people believe what they want to believe. Often facts and reality have little to do with beliefs. For example, I believe in God, because I think that's a positive thing. Christianity clearly defines human behavior, and if you do good, you are rewarded eternally. That sounds like a positive motivator for the planet, so I'm on board. I want to believe. In politics, it's similar. Conservatives versus liberals, Republicans versus Democrats. People believe certain things they think are best for them and the country. So they vote that way. Sometimes logic and problem solving have nothing to do with it.

Recently, I read an interview with economist Lawrence Summers, the former president of Harvard. He is a driving force behind President Biden's attempt to make a comeback. Mr. Summers believes Biden is competent and is helping him. But the president is not competent. The country is a mess. So why would a very smart guy like Summers believe otherwise? Well, maybe it's because he's liberal and doesn't want to devour his own. But there could be another reason. Dangerous outcomes. Summer sees the rise in populism, read Donald Trump, as far more injurious than incompetence. And he himself uses the phrase, dangerous outcomes. I dissent. I want good governance, policies that strengthen the nation. Not scared at Trump. He promoted prosperity. So Summers and I disagree. That's fine. Back after this.

Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets, and meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door, or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K. tax and penalty free.
