General John Kelly emerges to save President Trump from himself. Democrat Frederico Wilson

makes a complete fool of herself, and President George W. Bush is back. We'll talk about all

of these things. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

So this has been an extraordinarily irritating week in news, and that's largely because of all the

disrespect shown toward Gold Star families on pretty much every side of the aisle from the media,

from Democrats, from President Trump. All of it kind of gross, but we'll talk about all of those

things in just one second. First, I want to begin by thanking our sponsors over at Birch Gold. So right now, the stock market is doing incredibly well, but there are a lot of people who are suggesting that maybe that's a bit of a bubble. The real estate market doing well right now, but that may too be a bubble. If you are afraid it is, the very least you can do is diversify with some precious metals. The fact is the precious metals have never been worth nothing. They've always held a certain amount of value, and they've always held their value pretty well. Right now, the price of gold has been doing well over the past several months as well.

let's let's set the stage because yesterday

was a pretty incredible press conference from General John Kelly, the White House Chief of Staff.

So we need to set the stage because I want to show how there are really only two innocent

parties in this whole hubbub that has now lasted the entirety of the week over the treatment

of Gold Star families. Those two

innocent parties are General Kelly, the White House Chief of Staff, and the Johnson family in Florida.

Those are the only two innocent parties. Democrat Frederick Wilson was clearly looking to get Trump.

It's pretty clear to me that she was looking to politicize the situation. And President Trump

is the one who led this whole thing off by going out and saying that President

Obama and President Bush had somehow done something wrong in how they treated Gold Star families

and they had insufficiently called all the members of Gold Star families.

So that's how it started.
