The left accelerates its cultural authoritarianism with book bannings, big tech targeting,

and institutional weaponization, while the Biden administration continues to push forward massive

expansion of government.

Speaking of which, you may have noticed that your privacy seems to be under assault these days.

You may be using incognito, but you are not, in fact, incognito.

You need a VPN to protect you from, frankly, your own internet service provider very often,

but certainly from hackers and other people who want your data. I've been talking about ExpressVPN on this show for months. Why haven't you just done it? Go get a VPN right now. I'll tell you this. There's never been a more important time to protect your digital rights. That's why I and thousands of my patriotic listeners choose to secure our online data by using Express VPN. You believe a VPN isn't for you because you can just use the internet fine without one? Wrong that you are.

It's like leaving your car unlocked at night. Sure, most of the time it'll be fine and then one day somebody just drives off with your car. Don't be that person. Are you confused about how it works? ExpressVPN is an app for computers and smartphones that encrypts your network data and rerutes it through a secure server. That means you can use the internet more anonymously without having your activity tracked. Do you think VPNs are complex only for tech experts? Wrong. With one button you can download with another button, you basically activate it, you're done. Now you're protected.

All righty.

So we are living through an extremely tenuous time.

It is very obvious that the country is coming apart at the seams. It was happening

before Trump. It did not decelerate during Trump. And despite the best attempts of the media to claim

that Joe Biden is a unifying figure and that the country was going to come back together,

in fact, the administration has not been a unifying force. There is a, there are centrifugal forces

right now that are tearing apart the country in very serious ways. And it seems like that is not going to decelerate anytime soon. And it's weird because when you look at Joe Biden, sometimes he says the right things, frankly. Like yesterday, for example, he came out and he said, communism is a terrible system. It's failed everywhere it's tried. I don't think there's much of a difference from socialism.
