Barack Obama is back with his take on 2018.

Hillary Clinton learns to love federalism and the anti-science left take center stage.

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

You thought he was gone. You thought he wouldn't be back.

But wrong you are. He's back. And we'll talk about him in just a second. But first, let's talk about all of the events surrounding election 2018. If you look at the rhetoric from the leftist news outlets on the heels of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, they're trying to solidify the left for the midterms. It is going to be a battle to hold the House. Here's what to take if the Democrats take it. All the positive policies Republicans have enacted over the past couple of years, all the

things to help the economy, the tax cuts, the judicial appointments, the cutting of the regulations.

All of it could be stymied if the Democrats take control of either the House or the Senate.

And when they start to obstruct, what effect could that have on the economy, on stocks,

on other unknowns that might impact your savings? What is your plan for uncertainty? Can you afford another hit to your retirement? Like the last downturn when the S&P dropped 50%? Well, you should hedge against inflation and hedge against uncertainty and instability with some precious metals. Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty. My savings plan is diversified. Your should be too. Doesn't mean take all your money and stick it in gold. It means take some of your money and put it in precious metals.

Well, we are watching in the news as the country seems to be on the verge of something really, really terrible. It seems like something that's building

up, frankly, on both sides. A couple of parallel stories that are really ugly over the last 24

hour. Story number one, George Soros, who is not a person I admire in any way. George Soros is, of course,

a leftist funder of a bunch of radical causes, but he is not a person

who ought to be murdered, and yet an explosive device was found in the mailbox at his home

on Monday afternoon. According to senior law enforcement, as according to the New York Times,

the device was proactively denotated by bomb squad technicians from the Westchester County Police Department.

The bomber's motive remains unclear. Soros is a favorite target of right-wing groups. He was not at home

at the time. The investigation has been taken over by the FBI. All of this is ugly stuff.

Now, again, I am no George Soros fan. I think that George Soros does terrible, terrible things for

world politics, and I think he backs awful causes. That doesn't mean that folks should go out bombing him.

This is insanity. And it's not just George Soros. According to The Daily Caller, House Majority Leader

Kevin McCarthy's office in California, was vandalized on Monday, according to an Instagram post by the

congressman.
