| 0:00.0 | RBG dies. Democrats panic and threaten institutional Armageddon, and Trump vows to move ahead. |
| 0:05.5 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |

| 0:17.4 | expressVPN.com slash Ben. Well, me, maybe you noticed this year is crazy, man. I mean, just chaos in the streets. Everything's nuts. Now we're seeing a coronavirus upsurge over in Europe. Obviously, we have all of this controversy over the Supreme Court. The election is coming up. Who knows what's coming around the corner. And this is why your investment portfolio should be diversified at least a little bit into precious metals. Imagine if you had listened to me back in 2016 when I told you to invest just a little bit in gold. Back then, gold was $1,300 an ounce. Now it is hovering around historic eyes. And as I've been saying, this year is going to be nuts and it's not going to stop being nuts. If you haven't reached out to Birch Gold to diversify, at least part of your IRA or 4-1K into a precious metals IRA, or just purchase some physical gold or silver from them, |
| 0:58.3 | go ahead and do it today. Text Ben to 47-47-47. Get a free information kit on protecting your savings |
| 1:03.6 | with gold. Listen, I have some gold in my portfolio. I trust the folks over at Birch Gold. They've |
| 1:07.9 | got an 8-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Countless five-star reviews. Talk to them. They are extremely knowledgeable. They can help you preserve your savings. Text Ben to 47-47-47. Open our precious metals IRA today or just purchase some physical precious metals. Again, text Ben to 47-47. I've known the folks at Birch-gold for a very long time. And I've been urging you to invest for a very |
| 1:27.6 | long time, at least a little bit, diversified just a little bit into precious metals, |
| 1:30.8 | get started by texting Ben to 47, 47, 47 to get started. Okay, so right before Rochechashana begins, |
| 1:39.5 | I get the information that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the longtime Supreme Court justice first appointed |
| 1:45.4 | in 1993, famous feminist voice, has passed away. And in Judaism, the first thing you always say |
| 1:51.8 | is Baruch-Dai Anemet, Blessed is the true judge. So we say that, obviously, because death comes to us |
| 1:57.9 | all, whether we are on the side of the righteous, whether we are not on the side of the righteous. |
| 2:02.7 | Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for all of our disagreements, and we had many of them, obviously, I disagree with her politics, |
| 2:07.9 | thoroughly and profoundly. She devoted decades of her life to public service. She was responsible for some things that I think everyone can agree with, |
| 2:15.9 | including the forwarding of women's rights in the workplace. A lot of those things are very good. And her passage should be met with National Morning, |
| 2:22.9 | of course. This, of course, however, raises the greatest, I think, constitutional crisis that I've |
| 2:29.7 | seen in modern American history, not because of what the Republicans are going to do, fill the seat, |
| 2:34.2 | but because of what Democrats are threatening to do. Now, let's be real about this. From the very |
| 2:39.4 | beginning, Ruth Bader Ginsburg should have stepped down when Barack Obama was president. Now, |
| 2:43.9 | apparently her dying wish was that her seat not be filled. And Democrats are making a big deal |
| 2:48.6 | out of this. There is no constitutional provision that allows a justice as their dying wish to pick their successor. In communist countries, judges pick their successors. That is not what happens in a free republic. In a free republic, however the process works is how the process works. Imagine if Justice Antonin and Scalia had left a note by his bedside table before he had a heart attack and died, saying, my dying wish is that the Supreme Court overturn Roe versus Wade. Do you think there would have been five seconds of consideration over his dying wish? That is not how this works. You do not get to will your Supreme Court seat to somebody else because it is not, in fact, your Supreme Court seat. It is a seat that pre-exist you and will exist long after you. Just as Donald Trump doesn't get to will the presidency of the United States to whoever he wants to be his successor. |
