New New York Times editorial board member, Sarah Jong, keeps her job despite racist tweets.

Jim Acosta loves that dude from Jim Acosta, and President Trump argues with Ivanka over the media.

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

Oh man, we have a fun show for you today. So many things to talk about. But first, I need to remind you that you

need to stock up on some precious metals. The reality of the world suggests that inflation

is a possibility. The national debt is a serious problem. That's money that we owe other countries.

It's money that we are going to have to raise through bonds or through taxes that could create

inflation on the other end.

If your entire life savings is tied to the U.S. dollar, you have to ask yourself, what is your plan from hyperinflation? If the stills fall out from under the economy, with higher wages, there's an increase in minimum wage across the country, too. That could lead to price inflation. Import prices are going to skyrocket with trade wars. raw material prices are increasing with tariffs, rising housing prices.

All of this could lead the government to actually start printing more money,

which could lead to a certain level of inflation, meaning that your savings are worth less. Well, this is why you ought to use some of your money to buy gold, right?

So, meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about the New York Times. So the New York Times, about a year ago, tried to hire a tech reporter. This tech reporter turned out was friends with some rather unsavory people on the internet, and people dug up her tweets and then the new york times fired this person the new york times however has not fired a

woman named sarah jong sarah jang is their new tech person on the new york times editorial board

and she has some pretty bad tweets now as a person who's been targeted for old tweets it is my

opinion that old tweets should not end your career as a general rule unless they are a revelation to the person who hired you. So, for example, if I had a bunch of tweets 10 years old and somebody had hired me and they didn't know about my old tweets, like they hadn't been public fodder, they hadn't done their research or something, and then it came to light, then firing me would not be the end of the world. If, however, they knew what they were getting when they hired me, then they should not

fire me over calls to boycott. They should not fire me just on a principle level over them making a bad decision. Like, the fault of the New York Times here is the fault of the New York Times. It's not Sarah Zhang's fault. She tweeted this stuff in the past four years, and the New York Times just didn't do its research, or if they did do their research, they obviously

didn't care. That's it. So that's a little bit different from, for example, the Roseanne Barr situation, where ABC fully knew that Roseanne Barr was kind of a crazy person, but she then tweeted something new, and that new thing was something that, it's new information. Disney didn't have it when they decided to hire Roseanne, ABC didn't have it when they decided to hire Roseanne. And so that sort of changes the equation. Well, Sarah Zhang, all this stuff has been known. And here's some of the stuff that she tweeted. And I'll explain why this matters. She tweeted, oh man, it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men. And she also tweeted this, dumbass effing white people marking up the internet

with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants. She's just a delightful, delightful person.

And it's not just restricted to that. There are some old tweets that are now surfacing about cops

where she tweeted stuff like, oh boy, I sure would fight the cops with my guns. I wonder why black

people haven't thought of doing that, huh? And let me know when a cop gets killed by a rock or a molotov cocktail or a stray shard of glass from a precious, precious window. It says, when homeless people can beat cops senseless and suffer neary a repercussion, then let's talk about accountability going both ways. So she's an excruble human. I mean, she seems like a bad person. These are not good tweets.

But the New York Times knew all this when they hired her. So the New York Times came out and they defended her, which tells you something about the New York Times. I think it is good, by the way, that employers are not jumping to firing people based on social media mobbing. This lady is a bad lady. But I don't think that it is a good thing as a general rule for employers to start firing people based on the social media mob getting angry.

We've seen this from the left too many times to think that it's any better when it comes from the right.
