Megan Markle accuses the royal family of racism. Joe Biden blows out the spending with a $1.9 trillion bill,

and the media insists that censorship isn't actually censorship so long as the stuff being censored is the stuff they don't like.

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

Well, some of what we're going to talk about today involves big tech and how they are cracking down on people who do not think the way they would like you to think. Why would you hand them all of your data? There's never been a more important time to protect your internet activity than right now, which is why I urge you to get ExpressVPN. Everything you search for, watch or click online, can be tracked by big tech companies. They can then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address. When I switch on ExpressVPN with my computer or phone, my IP address is masked by a secure VPN server that makes it harder for websites to identify me.

The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sensitive information from

being compromised. Plus, you can use ExpressVPN on up to five devices simultaneously, so multiple

users on your network can stay safe with a single subscription. What I like most is how easy it is

to use. It takes just one click to protect all your devices. That's why we're rated, the number one VPN by CNET and Wired. So stop handing over your data to big tech companies.

stimulus package. And the vast majority of the stimulus package is passed to his friends.

It's hundreds of billions of dollars to blue states that have run their business like garbage. It is hundreds of billions of dollars to union cronies and allies. It is a giant waste of money. Again, the reality of the situation remains that the United States economy is on the uptick. COVID seems to be waning. It seems like it's coming to an end, thank God. It looks like we are nearing herd immunity as predicted by Professor Marty Makari over at

Johns Hopkins University. And it looks very much as though the economy is in a state of recovery

as well. We are down to 6.3% unemployment, which, lest you forget, is actually like kind of

a not horrible unemployment rate. It was a fairly decent unemployment rate during Barack Obama's

tenure. And the economy is climbing out of this,

especially as states reopen and states all over the country are reopening. So now was the perfect

time. It was a vital time to blow out the spending and to get Americans addicted to more

taxpayer cash. Because here's the thing. In the middle of COVID, when you had to shut down the

entire worldwide economy, when people were barred from going

to work, it made some sense for the government to provide your redress. As I said at the time,
