The New York Times tout a new study saying disparities between black and white children are based on racism.

President Trump congratulates Putin on his sham election and Democrats threaten civil war.

A lot to get to. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

So, good morning. At 1106 Eastern time, I declared a coup. I am now president of the United States. The current government of the United States has been dissolved in its entirety, and all of them will be replaced by non-corrupt, non-prostitute-stooping people. This is how this is going to work from here on in. The IRS has been dissolved, and I declare a thumb war as well. Your new American Republic, however, is brought to you by our friends of Birch Gold. So, Birch Gold is a place you need to go if you are interested in hedging against the volatility of the stock market. If it looks like the stock market has been bouncing around like ping pong ball lately, that's because it has. There's some inherent volatility. Apparently the Fed's going to raise interest rates. Again, you don't follow any of the stuff, but you want to take a small portion of your wealth and put it

in precious metals to guard against the vicissitudes of the market. Well, that is what Birch Gold is there for. My friends over at Birch Gold have a longstanding track record of continued success with thousands of satisfied clients, countless five-star reviews, an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Contact them at Birch Gold Group now to request a free information kit on

physical precious

metals.

They have a comprehensive 16-page kit, and it reveals how gold and silver can protect your

savings, how you can legally move your IRA or 401k out of stocks and bonds and into a precious

metals IRA.

Again, these are the folks I trust for precious metals investing.

studio, Mr. Shapiro? Well, my new studio is directly outside the Speaker of the House's office.

Actually, this office right here, this magnificent office, festooned with American flags and

bust of George Washington just behind these flags, the true American president. This office was apparently the place where President Trump, right after his inauguration, went to sign a bunch of bills and also tweet some stuff. And so it is very important for that reason. I will not suggest what has happened on this desk. I don't know, so I can't speculate. You know, maybe some things have happened. I don't know. I just can't spend it. But later today, I'm going to be speaking

with the Speaker of the House, which should be an honor and a privilege for him. For me, I know. It'll be great. And I'm looking forward to talking with him. But there's a lot of news that's happening. So I've been asked by a lot of people to go through a study that was reported yesterday

by the New York Times. So one of the main issues that has come up, cropped up so

often in American society these days is, of course, racism. Racism this and racism that,

and racial disparities are indicative of the horror of American life. America's racism problem

is what has generated income inequality between black folks and white folks.

And there's a brand new study from the New York Times complete with massive, beautiful graphics all about how black people can't get ahead in America.
