AOC declares herself the boss.

Diane Feinstein destroys small children and the Oscars won't stop the politics.

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

So I know you're asking, Ben, how much of the Oscars did you watch?

The answer is zero minutes live because why would I waste my life like that?

And if you did, well, I'm sorry to say that

those are going to be minutes you wish you had back on your deathbed. But I'll tell you what you don't wish. You don't wish that you didn't have gold. I mean, everyone needs gold because in 2008, the U.S. national debt was $10 trillion. Today, the debt is nearly $22 trillion that is rising like a hockey stick. If you don't think that we are sitting on a house of cars, you're living with your

head in the sand. But since you're listening to my podcast, you're clearly smarter than the average

American. So what is your... is rising like a hockey stick. If you don't think that we are sitting on a house of cars, you're living with your head in the sand. But since you're listening to my podcast, you're

clearly smarter than the average American. So what is your plan? Can you afford another hit to your retirement like the last downturn when the S&P dropped 50%? Instead, hedge against inflation and hedge against uncertainty with some precious metals. Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty, my savings plan is diversified and yours should be as well. The company I

trust with precious metal purchases, 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. It's perfect for people who want to protect their hard-earned retirement savings from any future geopolitical uncertainty. Look back historically. When the bottom falls out of everything else, gold does tend to safeguard

savings. Birch Gold Group has thousands of satisfied customers, countless five-star reviews,

an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Contact Birch Gold Group. Get a free information kit

on physical precious metal. See if diversifying into gold and silver makes sense for you.

Again, you can get that comprehensive 16-page kit. All you have to do is text Ben to 47-47-47-47. Text my name, Ben, to 47-47-47 to get

that comprehensive 16-page kit, complementary, Ben to 47-47-47. All righty. So, we'll get into the Oscars in a little bit.

Suffice it to say, I was not supremely surprised by any of the choices except for Bohemian Rhapsody for best editing.

Clever, guys.

Solid joke.

Solid joke, everyone.

Well done.

I appreciate the sense of humor.
