Roseanne loses her sitcom after a racist tweet.

Kim Kardashian heads to the White House, and we discuss the biggest news story nobody's talking about.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Oh, and we are very excited to be back in our home studios here in Los Angeles.

By the way, if you have not yet gone and bought tickets to our events in Dallas and Phoenix, the tickets are selling out fast. Those happen in August. Go to dailywire.com slash events to check it out. Before I jump into the news, and plenty of news there is, as always. First, I want to say thanks to our sponsors over at Birch Gold. So, you know, because I've said it, a thousand times. The reality is you should have at least some of your finances in gold. You

should have some in precious metals because of volatility in the market, because of the government's

tendency toward inflation when things get tough, because of the stock market moving up and down.

Yesterday, the stock market dropped nearly 400 points. Well, one thing that is a little bit less

volatile as precious metals is never worth zero, and that means that if you invest in precious

metals, you are guaranteeing at least a percentage of your income against the vicissitudes of the market and government interventionism. That's why you should talk to my friends over at Birch Gold Group. Well, they have a longstanding track record of continued success, thousands of satisfied clients, countless five-star reviews, an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. And if you contact Birch Gold Group right now, you can request a free information kit on physical precious metals. This comprehensive 16-page kit reveals how gold and silver can protect your savings, how you can legally move your IRA or 401k out of stocks and bonds into a precious metals IRA if you choose to do so. To get that no-cost and no obligation kit, all you have to do is go to birchgold.com slash ben. That's birchgold.com slash ben. They're the folks I trust with precious metals investing. Birchgold.com slash ben. Use that slash ben so they know that we sent you. So I'm not going to say I told you so. I'm not going to say I warned you. I'm not going to say that I was the voice calling out in the wilderness. Roseanne is not a conservative.

Don't trust her. Don't follow her. No. Don't come back. Stop. I won't say that I said any of those things. I said all of those things. Okay, I told you. Okay, Roseanne's a crazy person. Roseanne's been a crazy person for years. She ran with Cindy Sheehan on one of these indie party nomination tickets. She took a picture of herself

with a Hitler mustache putting little cookies in the oven that were supposed to be Jews. Okay,

Roseanne is a crazy person. She's been a crazy person for a long time. And just because

she's a crazy person who happens to like Trump a lot more than some other crazy people, that does not mean that she was ever an ally of conservatives. Well, she demonstrated why it is bad to embrace volatile celebrities who happen to be crazy just yesterday. When she decided it would be a great idea to start tweeting about Valerie Jarrett in the most insane possible way. So here is what she tweeted about Valerie Jarrett.

Valerie Jarrett, of course, was the kind of unsung chief of staff to Barack Obama.

I am not a Valerie Jarrett fan.

I think Valerie Jarrett is an awful person.

But Valerie Jarrett is also not what Roseanne says she is here.

Okay, so Roseanne says Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes

had a baby equals Valerie Jarrett. Okay. So, number one, that's disgusting. That's horrifying.

You shouldn't be calling black people apes. I mean, I thought there's basically like one rule in the

media that you cannot violate if you wish to survive. And Roseanne Barr took that landmine and jumped on it with both feet. And then just in case it didn't go off, she jumped on it again with both feet. So she says she compares Valerie Jarrett to an ape, which is just disgusting and horrifying, especially given the long history in this country of comparing black people to apes, which is just awful and horrifying in every possible way. And then Roseanne's show is dropped. So she tweets this, and then her show dies, right? So ABC pulls her show. It was the number one sitcom on television, so they presumably lost some money on this thing. But it wasn't like ABC didn't know that Roseanne was a crazy person when they hired her. They knew the risks involved when they hired. They bought the ticket. They took the ride. And Roseanne provided them that ride. We'll talk in a second about when it is appropriate for corporations to crack down on so-called free speech. I say so-called because free speech issues are really only implicated when the government is involved. If the government cracks down on your free speech like Tommy Robinson in the UK, as we discussed yesterday, that's a free speech issue. But when it's a private corporation, taking a measure to protect its own products, I'm not quite sure it's the same thing. In fact, I'm sure it's not the same thing. In any case, Roseanne tweets this thing out. Her career is over. She's toast. Goodbye to Roseanne. And frankly, from my perspective, a little bit good riddens. I understand a lot of
