A new white supremacist terror attack targets Jews in San Diego. The New York Times reveals its full

anti-Semitic bias, and the media rushed to defend, Ilhan Omar. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All right, we've got a lot to get to today. None of it particularly happy news, unfortunately.

It was a pretty brutal weekend for the country. We'll get to all that in just it particularly happy news, unfortunately. It was a pretty brutal

weekend for the country. We'll get to all that in just a second. First, in 2008, the U.S. national debt was $10 trillion. Today, the debt is nearly $22 trillion. It is rising like a hockey stick. If you do not think that we are sitting on a house of cards, you're living with your head in the sand, but since you're listening to my podcast, you are smarter than the average bear.

So what is your plan?

Can you afford another hit to your retirement like the last downturn when the S&P dropped 50%? It's worthwhile to hedge at least a little bit against inflation and uncertainty and instability with precious metals. Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty. My savings plan is diversified. Yours should be as well. The company I trust with precious metal purchases is Birch Gold Group. And right now, thanks to a little known IRS tax law,

you can even move that IRA or eligible 401k into an IRA backed by physical gold and silver,

which is perfect for people who may 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, and eight-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau.

See if diversifying into gold and silver makes sense for you, this comprehensive 16-page kit reveals how gold and silver can protect your savings. To get that no-cost, no-obligation kit, text Ben to 47-47-47-47.

That is Ben to 47-47-47. Again, text Ben to 47-47-47. So over the weekend on Shabbat on Saturday,

it was the last day of Passover.

And on the last day of Passover, a white supremacist gunman entered a shul, entered a synagogue, a

Shabad in Poway, which is about 45 minutes north of San Diego.

I know that it's close to San Diego because I was actually staying in San Diego

for the holiday, so I was relatively close to this happening. The gunman entered the synagogue on

Saturday. He was yelling anti-Semitic slurs, and then he opened fire with an AR-15-style gun,

says the New York Times. We still don't know whether it was an actual AR-15 or if it was merely

a semi-automatic rifle. He apparently paused when the rabbi of the congregation tried to talk to him, but then he fired again and he shot the rabbi in the hand twice. Apparently, he shot him in both hands. The rabbi has lost one of his finger. His attack left a 60-year-old woman dead. The rabbi wounds in a 34-year-old man and a girl with shrapnel wounds. This was, of course, the last day, as I mentioned, of Passover. This was obviously a hate crime. The gunman was identified as a 19-year-old resident of San Diego. He did leave another one of these terrible manifestos. As I say, I'm not going to mention the name of the shooter on the show because I don't mention the name of mass shooters on shows because I don't want to give them publicity. Nor am I going to read his manifesto on air. Suffice it to say it is a typical white supremacist screed about the replacement of European peoples by Jews. It also suggests that it suggests hatred of President Trump. I mean, there's a good deal in there
