(DCNF)—“The Young Turks” co-host Ana Kasparian told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Thursday that Democrats’ biggest strategy flaw is their inability to “self-reflect” on what they should do to gain back voters.
The Democrat Party has struggled since November with falling behind a single message and leader in hopes of appealing to and attracting voters from key voting blocs who left them in the last election. While discussing a recent report detailing how Democrat donors are attempting to use their funds to try and find new faces for the party on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly asked Kasparian if she could see the attempt being successful.
“Megyn, if I could be a mouthpiece and rake in the big bucks — I don’t know if I would do it, but I know that I’m not capable of doing it. So part of the reason why I find myself in this terrible situation that I’m in, where I’m basically rejected by the left, but I don’t fit in with the right,” Kasparian said. “So I’m kind of in no man’s land right now, and it’s not fun. It’s pretty awful, but the reason why I’m there is because I have to be authentic. I have to be honest with my audience.”
“It’s both selfish because I can’t help but just tell people how I actually feel about the issues we talk about, but it’s also because I respect my audience. I want my audience to know the truth. And so if I see the left doing something that’s counterproductive — if I see something that I don’t like — I’m going to speak out about it,” Kasparian added.
Democrats have made efforts to reach out to young male voters. Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg on May 9 called out the party for losing young male voters.
Kasparian went on to say that while she might have some hope that Democrats will learn their lesson, they have instead continued to “intentionally” see supporters as “their public servants.”
“The reason why I do that is because there’s still a little bit of hope that maybe they’ll learn some lessons. Maybe they’ll heed the advice and recalibrate some of their behavior and some of their policies so they can attract a broad coalition of voters to support them,” Kasparian said. “But instead what I’ve noticed by the Democratic Party is that rather than self-reflect they like to lash out. They see us as their public servants, instead of them being our public servants. And that is a huge, huge problem.”
“So I want to reiterate — I don’t fit in on the right. I have some pretty serious left-wing policy preferences, but, culturally speaking, the left I find repulsive at times and intentionally so,” Kasparian said. “They’re intentionally behaving that way. And it’s totally selfish because it’s more about how they feel and how they want to purge certain people out of the party as opposed to thinking about what they need to do to again attract a broad coalition of Americans who are willing to buy into their agenda and program.”
In March, CNN/SSRS released a poll showing Democrats hit an all-time low favorability rating of 29%, dropping 20 points since January 2021. Despite the lack of voter appeal, early reports have speculated that key figures like Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg could place bids for the party’s 2028 presidential primary.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
The problem with the left is they think because they either won an election or cheated to get victory that that makes them leaders or elites when in reality it means they are employees of the people who put them there. Politicians are employees, not leaders, they are put in their positions to do what they are told, not do do whatever they want.
I’d like to bang Ana.
