The media and politicians break out the COVID panic, but do the statistics justify it?

Plus, Joe Biden is unwilling to accept the consequences of his own economic agenda.

Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

I protect my data with VPN.

So should you visit ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. All righty, we'll get to all the news in just one second. First, you may have noticed that your cell phone bill is just too high. It is just too high. Why have you not switched over to Pure Talk USA yet? I mean, it's super simple. It's got the same great coverage because Pure Talk is on the exact same network as one of the big three,

but at a fraction of the price. And switching is as easy as switching out your SIM card. You can keep your phone, keep your number, or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android's when you join Pure Talk at USA. Plus, right now, here's what you get, Unlimited Talk, text, and six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month. And here's the thing. You're saying to yourself, what if I use like 8 gigs of data?

If you go over on the data,

they're not going to charge you for it.

There's a reason.

Pure Talk is the highest rated wireless company by consumer affairs and why they are the preferred wireless partner of AMAC. A lot of phone companies will sort of confuse you intentionally on what exactly you are getting when you sign up for their cell phone service. Not so with transparency that you will receive with Pure Talk USA. From your cell phone, dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro, save an additional 50%

off your very first month. That is pound 250. Say my name, Ben Shapiro to get started. Again,

dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro, save an additional 50% off your very first month of Pure Talk USA.

I'll check them out right now.

All righty.

And here is the thing.

The people who are getting very ill and dying of COVID right now are almost universally

unvaccinated.
