Doge administrator Elon musk Maybe he will soon take a page from the book by legendary TV journalist Geraldo Rivera by hosting the Live Stream Fort Knox To see if American gold is really still there.
Well, do you remember those of us from a certain age of that night in 1986 when Rivera opened a long -forgotten vault at a hotel in Chicago, where the infamous Gangster Al Capone lived, only to, without any little degree of embarrassment, that was All just blank.
Trump’s backs confirmed by Fort Knox Gold is there, as the treasury says it is
In those days, without Netflix or 62,000 cable channels, 20 million Americans touched in Live, there were doctors present in case they found bodies, and IRS agents seized any poorly gentle gentle. But in the end, all they found was the biggest sad moment of plateon in television history.
Fast forward to Fort Knox, where government gold is supposedly stored with $ 425 billion.
In 1936, the Federal Government decided to send about half of the physical gold that our nation possessed in a fortified object in Kentucky for safe storage. It almost immediately became a metaphor for two things, one, wealth, like “all gold in Fort Knox” and the other, security, as it is harder to enter Fort Knox. “

No one actually doubts the safety of the compound. Almost certainly it remains inappropriate as always, even for musk. But are the guards to protect gold or hide an unpleasant secret?
Let’s be clear, there is no reason, except for the conspiracy theory, to believe that there is no gold, or that the treasury employees are busy with painting red bricks yellow in anticipation of Doge visit.
NEW MAKE (to say so) Scott Bessent Treasury Minister He convinced Americans that “all gold is also present and a computer.” But some Republicans, like Senator Kentucky Randa Paul, want more, as he told Fox News, “The more sunlight is, the better, the higher the transparency the better.”
President Donald Trump agrees. On Wednesday, he told reporters, “Let’s hope,” Let’s hope that Fort Knox is all right, but we’ll get in Fort Knox, Fable Fort Knox, to make sure that gold is there. “

Indeed, she threw Fort Knox. Get your popcorn. Lights, camera, shop.
It would be pure historical poetry if Geraldo Rivera re -causing live coverage to detect the reverse of Fort Knox, with such a fun turning, this time it is not a full vault that would be a big story, but empty.
In fact, it is difficult to understand what would happen if sometime in the next few days, the cameras show that there is no gold, not only for the financial system, but also for our general faith in the Government. It is a kind of lies from which you really can’t come back.
Hundreds, if not thousands of people, would have to be a copper in this canary, including powerful figures like Beesent. If there is no gold in Fort Knox, Katy forbids the door, because everything that the government has told us after it was deeply suspicious, as if it had not already been.

Even if the outcome of this special event is live and expected, even if we simply treat ourselves with a vision of the glittering crowd of the glorious gold that should be there, the senator is right to put such transparency a lot of conspiracy theories in bed.
By itself, Trump’s dedication to radical transparency is a great move for a country that has lost faith that their leaders are telling them the truth, which will no longer take it for granted things are really what they should be.
It can be argued that this distrust of the Government, so pervading on all political sides, is actually the biggest threat we face with Americans. Not a border, not China, not inflation, but a complete lack of confidence that our will is done in the halls of power.

So bring to the TEBS, live from Fort Knox, build a fanfare and place pillars, we all see together if you need to give a good word of the Treasury Department of our full faith and merit, or if the biggest fraud has somehow happened somehow happened.
And I’m serious, who will take us better than ourselves than the original? It’s time for Geraldo to get another bite on an apple and see if he actually found treasure this time.
