| 0:00.0 | All hell breaks lucid box when the boss unleashes hell on a top staffer. |
| 0:04.0 | Racial issues continue to rile the nation and nasty debate breaks out over reopening schools. |
| 0:08.2 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:15.5 | The Ben Shapiro show is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Don't let others track what you do. |
| 0:19.9 | Keep yourself safe at ExpressVPN.com. We're going to get to all the news in just one moment. First, let me remind you, things are really, really volatile right now, particularly in world markets. If you got money in the stock market, you've been watching this thing bounce up and down like a yo-yo. You just have no idea where the market is going next with coronavirus and with race riots and with the presidential election. There's just too much news to really price into the market right now. And that is why you're seeing so much uncertainty out there. This is why it might be a good time to at least be a little bit diversified. One of the ways that you hedge against risk. And by the way, also hedge against inflation that will come sooner or later, given the way we are spending money like a drunken sailor. One of the ways to do that, invest in precious metals at least a little bit. This is why you should talk to my friends over at Birch Gold Group. Your grandkids will be paying for everything that is going on right now. So it might be worthwhile to at least give them some money to do so by diversifying 10, 20% of your portfolio into precious metals and Birch Gold Group can help you you out. Text Ben to 474747. When you purchase on or before July 31st, you get a free signed copy of my book, The Right Side of History. Birch Gold will go to work for you and make things super simple. They're the people I trust with precious metals investing. I know the people who run the place. I really think that they are honest. Text Ben to 47, 47, 47, 47. At least request a free information kit on diversifying into gold. Again, always ask all your questions, get all the information, feel as comfortable as you could feel before you invest. But the people at Birch-Gold can help guide you. Text Ben to 47-47-47. And during the months of June or July, when you open an IRA in precious metals, get a signed copy of my book, the right side of history for free. Again, text my name, Ben, to 4747. All right. So, all hell has broken loose over there on the left. On the left, there is this internecine war that is now going on between old school liberals and the hard left. And you've seen hints of this before. Nancy Pelosi was going at it with the |
| 2:01.8 | squad. You've seen hints of it. It places like Evergreen State College, where Brett Weinstein, |
| 2:06.1 | who's a socialist, I mean, an actual member of the political left, and was basically cast out of |
| 2:11.7 | the college and was threatened with physical violence for not deciding to teach, in spite of a |
| 2:17.3 | call for him not to teach because of his race. There have been sort of hints at it here and there, but now it is broken into full-scale warfare, particularly inside the nation's institutions that are not universities. And I think it's important to note this stuff has been happening on universities for a very long time, right? People like Nicholas Christakis over at Yale being ousted from the campus for the great sin of having said people wear Halloween costumes sometimes. |
| 2:36.7 | You've seen college campuses trying to ban speech from people ranging from me to Heather McDonald to Charles Murray, |
| 2:41.6 | like everybody on the right or anywhere near the right has been basically canceled from at least one campus |
| 2:47.6 | or been threatened with violence for appearing at a campus. And this sort of stuff happens all the time. But the liberals in the media, particularly, they didn't want to believe that this was coming for them. They wanted to believe that this was only aimed at the right. And so the way they shied away from this is by saying a couple things. One, this is just enthusiasm on college campuses. It's just too enthusiastic, right? I mean, these are people, they're young, they make mistakes, but we need their enthusiasm to really drive the movement forward. We need to channel that enthusiasm, and as they grow and as they mature, and as they enter the real world, some of those rough edges will be sort of sands it off, but we certainly don't want to denounce their behavior right now, and we certainly don't want to magnify it or pretend that it's outsized or means anything. It doesn't mean anything. And the right is constantly pouncing on college campuses and using college campuses as a sort of example of how radical we are. But come on, guys, those are just college campuses. At the same time, the people who are doing this stuff, they're good-hearted. And so can we really blame them? So that was one angle that was being used, right, was that these are college campuses. And so that's nothing like how the real world is going to work. And the second angle that was being used is, these are enthusiastic people who are going to become our people. Now, as you may have noticed from the last few years in politics, as soon as you say to the most radical element of your membership that you need |
| 3:57.9 | their passion, they immediately take over the entire party, right? That is the way that it works. As soon as you say to a group of people who are sort of on the fringe that you need their passion to drive us forward, they take over the party. You've seen this with Bernie Sanders inside the Democratic Party. You could certainly say that this happened inside the Republican Party in 2016 with President Trump, |
| 4:14.6 | is that there was this very disaffected group of populists who basically, a lot of people, |
| 4:20.1 | you could see this with all the other presidential campaigns. |
| 4:22.0 | The other presidential campaigns did not want to hit Trump directly because they were saying, |
| 4:25.6 | well, eventually Trump will fall away and will need the support of these people and their passion |
| 4:28.8 | really means something. |
| 4:29.6 | So Trump just takes over the party, right? The same, this sort of stuff happens in political movements all the time. |
| 4:34.7 | Well, now it turns out that the left's cancel culture that started on campuses has moved into |
| 4:39.6 | mainstream liberalism. And it turns out that mainstream liberalism had no immune system for this. |
| 4:45.0 | Now, normally, you have to have an immune system against bad stuff |
