Prices of Precious Metals
Gold
At 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, gold was priced at $4,237 an ounce, up $38 from the previous day.
Furthermore, this represents a $1,604 increase compared to the price of gold one year ago. Specifically, this is $1,604 higher than the price of gold exactly one year ago.
Silver:
As of 8:At 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time, silver was priced at $58.27 an ounce, an increase of $0.88 from yesterday, and has increased by over $26 in the past year.
Silver has doubled in price over the past year.
This is primarily due to a significant tightening of supply and the expectation that the Federal Reserve will cut rates further.
However, after an eight-day rally, traders took profits, causing silver to fall back from its all-time high.:

This section addresses the stories you requested and highlights key findings from my investigation.
JD Vance / Erika Kirk Allegation — NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE YET
The speculation alleging a romantic connection between Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk (the widow of the late Charlie Kirk) HAS not been confirmed.
Snopes looked into this particular claim and discovered there to be no credibility with the allegation that Erika Kirk has had a romantic connection with Vice President JD Vance.
The speculation centered on a Turning Point USA event on October 29, when Kirk introduced Vance, and they embraced on stage.
What Went Down
After Kirk introduced Vance at the event, he gave her a hug, which is where the rumor of the hug originated.
According to a limited White House pool report, Vance left the October 29 event with his wife, Usha Vance, and two U.S. Senators.
Kirk did *not* fly on Air Force Two according to Turning Point USA.
MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS NOT REPORTING THIS AS TRUE
You claim to have support from major newspapers, but all types of news outlets, including fact-checkers like Snopes, have investigated these claims and found them to be false. There is no evidence that Candace Owens or Joe Rogan has ever said JD Vance is the father of a child with Erika Kirk. These claims are disinformation.
.FBI Jet/Dan Bongino Claims – MIXED VERIFICATIONWhat is verified
FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly dating country singer Alexis Wilkins. Wilkins is protected by a security team comprising FBI SWAT members in Nashville. Some reports claim Patel used the FBI’s $63 million jet to watch Wilkins perform the national anthem at a wrestling match in Pennsylvania.
Other reports say Patel told his security team to drive one of his girlfriend’s intoxicated friends home after nights out in Nashville, on two separate occasions.
The FBI’s Ben Williamson refuted these allegations entirely, claiming that the story is “hogwash,” and that he “could not find any verification or documentation of it whatsoever.”
The FBI Jacket Story:
There are mixed reports about an incident in Utah. One account says Patel refused to leave his FBI jet until someone brought him a medium-sized FBI raid jacket for the cameras, and that agents had to leave their duties to find one that fit. Patel told Fox News the jacket story is “100 percent false.” He added that an agent gave him a jacket, and he was happy to wear it.
Dan Bongino Criticism:
A 115-page internal report, prepared by currently serving and retired agents, detailing the state of the FBI during Patel’s leadership, stated that it was “dismal,” “all f—ed up,” and a “rudderless ship,” with the director being “in over his head.” The report also contained the opinion that the Deputy Director Dan Bongino is, in their words, “some kind of a clown.”
Bongino has worked as a New York City police officer for two years, served 12 years in the Secret Service, and led a 38,000-person agency, despite having no prior management experience or FBI background.
Candace Owens and Erika Kirk
Since Charlie Kirk’s death in September 2025, Candace Owens has made accusations about his death and Turning Point USA. However, she has never accused “Erika Kirk of having any part in her husband’s death.”
Turning Point USA responded to Owens’ accusations for the first time on December 3. Producer Blake Neff said the group is giving Owens a chance to join a live stream to discuss her claims. Neff called her allegations either “false” or “just plain ridiculous.”
Consumers and Real Estate Impacted
Falling mortgage rates and steady markets are good news for consumers:
Refinancing: Rates are significantly lower than they were last year. Homeowners with mortgages at or above 7% interest rates could benefit from refinancing.
The decline in the half-mortgage rate year over year has made home buying more affordable.
Fed Policy: The Fed may cut rates as soon as December 9-10, which could help the housing market.
Economic Indicators: The core personal consumption expenditures index grew 2.8% over the past year, slightly below the expected 2.9%. This supports the case for a Federal Reserve rate cut.
