You think that you need to be with one of the big carriers in order for you to have great cell phone coverage. This is untrue. You could have the same exact cell phone coverage, except without paying the big bucks. You don't have to be with Verizon or AT&T and T-Mobile because they're just spending all of your money on overhead and on those stores you never visit. Instead, why not switch over to Pure Talk USA? Pure Talk is not going to charge you for any of that garbage. Instead, they give you killer 5G coverage on the same 5G network as one of the big guys for about half the cost. The average family is saving over $800 a year. So what exactly is your excuse? I made the switch. You can too. You can keep your number, keep your phone, or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android. You can get unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data for just $30 a month and listen. If you still want unlimited data, you can get it and save a fortune. Go to puretalk.com shop for the plan. That is right for you. They have a 30-day risk-free guarantee. So you literally have nothing to lose. Go to puretalk.com, enter promo code Shapiro. You will save 50% off your very first month of coverage. That's puretalk.com promo code Shapiro. PureTalk is simply smarter, wireless. Again, head on over to Peartalk.com, enter promo code Shapiro and say 50% off your very first month. Okay, so first off, if you didn't come to the Daily Wire backstage last night live at the Ryman, or if you didn't watch it, you missed out. We made a bunch of big announcements here at Daily Wire. We've got a brand new show that is going to be coming out with Adam Corolla, so we're getting into the comedy, we're getting into the comedy game. We also premiered the trailer for our new movie Shutin,

which will be out early next year. We also gave you an update from Gina Carano's new film.

That is now filming up in Montana. So lots going on here at The Daily Wire, and we are very excited

to bring all of it to you. All righty. So here is the latest in the news. The economy is now in a serious state of stagnation. And Joe Biden, apparently this is all according to plan. I mean, they wanted fundamental change in the economy. This is according to the White House. They wanted fundamental change in the economy. They're about to get fundamental change in the economy. here's Jen Saki, the White House press secretary, saying that Joe Biden's agenda is to make fundamental

change in the economy, which is strange because most people just want to go back to work and, you know,

have a job and have food on the table and be able to buy things for less than they bought them

for yesterday, but apparently not the White House. The president wants to make fundamental change in our economy, and he feels coming out of the

pandemic, is exactly the time to do that. And if we don't do it now, if we don't address the cost

of child care, to go back to Josh's question earlier, if we don't address the climate crisis, if we don't ensure

that universal pre-K is a reality now, we're not going to have the same opportunity to do it for

some time. This is insane. This is her saying no good crisis goes to waste. And this is a crisis

entirely of the administration's own making at this point, because everybody should be back to work.

See, it is very strange how democratic logic goes. When everything is going swimmingly, now is a great time for us to restructure everything, because everything is going swimmingly, right? We've got the money to do it. Everything is great. We should be able to do what we've always wanted to do and pursue utopia. And then when things go poorly, they're like, now is the greatest time ever for us to restructure this economy.

And things are things go poorly, they're like,

now is the greatest time ever for us to restructure this economy. Things, things are going so poorly. I mean, when are we ever going to have the opportunity to do this again? I feel like the first part of the sentence has nothing to do with the second part of the sentence. It doesn't matter what the preconditions are. Your solution is always, what if we just restructure the economy in socialistic redistributionist, big government ways?
