Is Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., having his Joni Ernst moment? It sure seems like it.
On Wednesday, the Hoosier State’s senior senator told CNN mouthpiece Manu Raju he’s still undecided as to whether he will support Pete Hegseth’s nomination to become the next secretary of defense. The comments came after the two veterans met to discuss Hegseth’s potential promotion earlier that day.
“I haven’t decided yet, as I’ve shared with him and happy to share with others…We had a good meeting. It was an extensive conversation, and he answered the questions I asked,” Young reportedly said. “We had a very fulsome meeting. We covered everything on my mind, and I suspect the minds of most everyone that’s watching this.”
Putting aside the fact that he apparently doesn’t know what “fulsome” means, Young’s remarks are a disgrace. Indiana voters reelected Donald Trump to the White House by a nearly 20-point margin last month with a mandate to alter the Washington status quo. But rather than endorse Hegseth’s confirmation like Indiana Sen.-elect Jim Banks, Young has taken it upon himself to ignore the will of his constituents and play games with Hegseth’s nomination.
When pressed on why the Indiana senator has reportedly declined to commit to supporting Hegseth’s nomination despite previously voting to confirm Biden-appointed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Young Communications Director Matt Lahr didn’t provide The Federalist with a direct answer. Instead, he said that Young and Hegseth “had a great meeting yesterday afternoon and [Young] looks forward to the confirmation hearing.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
