President Trump declares his trade war on hold.

The White House cracks down on CNN, and Republicans go after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

We'll talk about it. I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

Many a new piece of news will meet my eye.

Many a new day shall find me.

Well, we'll talk about all of the things that are breaking

in the news. First, I need to let you know that if you have not actually bought a ticket yet for our live events in Dallas and Phoenix, what are you doing? What are you doing? Okay, we have a Ben Shapiro show live this August, Dallas and Phoenix, but you should know that we are now 80% sold out of both events and we still have a month to go, which means it's going to sell out. If you haven't

gotten your tickets yet, you should get them now or else you could miss out on this event

entirely. Plus, right now we are also selling. You should know Ben Shapiro live tour shirts over at Amazon.com. So go check that out as well because we announced yesterday that there are a bunch of colleges we'll be visiting next year. So go check that out too. Also, I should remind you that our national debt is $21 trillion in counting, right?

And... there are a bunch of colleges we'll be visiting next year. So go check that out too. Also, I should remind you that our national debt is $21 trillion in counting, right? And I remember when we used to care about that sort of stuff, that is a bunch of money that we owe the Social Security Fund and money that we have borrowed from other countries via bonds. Well, that debt is greater than the entire economic output of the United States. If your entire life savings is tied to the U.S. dollar, you should ask yourself what your plan is for inflation or if the stills fall out from under the economy. A hedge against inflation and a hedge against uncertainty and stability, it is precious metals. Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty, which is why my savings plan is diversified and yours should be too. The company I trust with precious metals purchases is, you know it. Birch Gold Group. And right now, thanks to a little-known IRS tax law,

you can even move your IRA or eligible 401k into an IRA backed by physical gold and silver, which is perfect for people who want to protect their hard-earned retirement savings from any future geopolitical uncertainty. When you look back historically, what you see is that when the bottom falls out of everything else, gold tends to safeguard savings.

Birch Gold Group has thousands of satisfied customers, countless five-star reviews, an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. You all know about Birchgold's free information kit, but for a limited time, qualified purchases can earn up to an additional 10 grand in precious metals for free through July 31st. To find out, if your purchase qualifies, go to birchgold.com slash Ben.

Talk to a rep.

Let them know that we sent you again.

The offer only runs until July 31st. Terms and limitations apply. Ask your sales representative for details. Okay, so yesterday was an epic day of good Trump bad Trump, which is a great excuse for us to bring back our good Trump bad Trump jingle. We's, we haven't done this in a long time, guys. I'm excited.

Let's bring it back. Good Trump, bad Trump, guys, go.

Good Trump, bad Trump, which one will begin today?

Every day is a mystery on good Trump bad Trump. You never know what you're going to find behind door number one or door number two. Well, I've been talking for several weeks about the silliness of trade wars, about why you don't

rally tariffs, you don't increase tariffs in order to increase prices on your own citizens

and increase prices on inputs and sink your own economy simply to punish other countries.
