Hey, yesterday I trended on Twitter.

Thanks for the signal boost.

As always, media matters.

The economy continues to teeter, and another mass shooting takes place in Philadelphia.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

I have a lot to get to today.

We're going to go through some basic economics and also some basic job advice today because apparently people don't understand English. They don't understand economic arguments. They would much prefer to attribute beliefs to me that I don't actually hold, but the entire show won't be about me. We'll also get to a lot of the other stuff that's in the news, including Jeffrey Epstein, apparently having a broken bone in his neck that suggests strangulations. Good times out there. We'll get to all of that in just one second. First, geopolitical tensions are rising. You can just read the news or listen to the show. The yields on bonds are now inverted, and this is giving a lot of people pause about the future of the American economy and the global

economy and people are rushing to gold. And there's a reason they're rushing to gold. The gold

prices are rising radically. The reason is because when there are turbulent economic times,

people look to precious metals as a hedge against inflation and uncertainty. That is a smart

thing to do. If you're interested in getting some of that hedge in your portfolio, then you should really be looking at my friends at Birch Gold. I know the folks at Birch Gold. I trust the people at Birch Gold. They're really good folks. They've been on my show before. You can hedge against inflation and hedge against uncertainty and instability with precious metals. My savings plan is diversified and yours should be as well. If you diversified, you wouldn't

be quite so scared of what's going on in the stock market these days, 800 point drop yesterday.

The company I trust with precious metal purchases Birch Gold Group. Contact Birch Gold Group. Get a free

information kit on physical precious metals. See if diversifying its gold and silver makes

sense for you. Their comprehensive 16-page kit reveals how gold and silver can protect your savings, how you can legally move that IRA or 401k out of

stocks and bonds and into precious metals, if that's something you want to do. To get your no-cost

and no-obligation kit, text Ben to 47-47-47. Again, text my name, Ben, to 47-47. Go check them out right now.. Okay. So I'm going to do something that I rarely do here on the show. I'm going to talk about something that I've said previously on the show. The reason that I usually don't do this on the show is because I feel like most of the stuff that I say is fairly self-explanatory. Well, yesterday, there's a clip from the show, and it went viral because this is what Media Matters does.

What they like to do is clip part of a clip and then put it out there, and then people react on Twitter as they normally do, because as I have said, Twitter is the boo box, right? Twitter is the place where someone has sinned, and we throw them inside the boo box. They made a boo-boo.

We throw them inside the boo-box.

We drop scorpions and we drop snakes on them.

Well, yesterday, it was my turn in the boo box. They made a boo-boo. We throw them inside the boo box.
