and everyone is agog. Plus, the worst form of art slash not art that you have ever seen,

0:14.0

it's really horrifying. We'll talk about a Ben Shapiro show.

0:25.8

Indeed, many things to talk about from the president speaking at the March for Life,

0:29.5

which is a good thing, to the president tweeting out absolute nonsense about his own policies that makes no sense, which is a bad thing.

Lots of good Trump, bad Trump today.

We may have to break out the old theme a little bit later on in the show.

But first, we want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Birch Gold. So even though the economy is doing really well right now, even though the stock market is doing really well right now, there are a lot of people who are looking to hedge their bets, which is why, of course, there are currencies like Bitcoin that are doing so well. Well, the original Bitcoin is gold, right? That was the hedge against inflation. It was the hedge against market uncertainty. And it remains the real hedge against market uncertainty and market inflation and the government jacking around with the currency. That's why you should have at least part of your portfolio in precious metals. Not the whole thing. You should certainly have some of your money in stocks and some of your money in, well, I don't really believe in bonds, but you should believe in the stocks. But you should also have some of money in actual precious metals, because it's just a safe haven. That's where by friends over Birch Gold group come in. They have a longstanding track record of continued success, thousands of satisfied clients, countless five-star reviews, and A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Contact them now for a free information kit on physical precious metals. They have a comprehensive 16-page kit, and it shows how gold and silver can protect your savings

out of stocks and bonds and into a precious metals IRA.

1:41.6

and you feel comfortable,

1:42.4

and then when you do, Birchgold are the people you need to talk to. Bertschold.com slash Ben, that lets them know that we sent you. Okay, so we were told that all human life would be ended. It would be like deep impact, except if crisis had not been averted by the tax cut, right? The tax cut was going to end all human life on Earth. And that obviously has been happening. The latest

2:01.3

evidence that millions will die because of the Trump tax cuts comes courtesy of Apple, run by Tim Cook,

a lefty, who said that they would now pay a one-time tax of $38 billion on their overseas

cash holdings and ramp up spending in the United States as they seek to emphasize their contributions to the American economy after years of taking criticism for outsourcing manufacturing to China. Why? Because we changed our tax policy. Right now we've changed our tax policy. The corporate tax rates were dropped dramatically, which means that now Apple doesn't have to outsource, right? All of its costs just went down for doing business in the United States. They say they will invest

$30 billion in capital spending in the U.S. over five years that would create more than 20,000 jobs. The total includes a new campus, which initially is going to house technical support for customers. They're calling this Apple HQ2. And right now there's an open competition among cities around the United States to get the new Apple headquarters.

LA is, for lack of a better term, a bleep whole country. I live here, I get to say that. Okay, the total includes a new campus and $10 billion toward data centers across the country. It also will expand from $1 billion to $5 billion of fund it established last year for investing in advanced manufacturing in the United
