Joe Biden tries to push a gas tax holiday to combat high prices at the pump, but even some Democrats aren't biting.

Fed-Chair Jerome Powell admits a recession may be on the way.

And the New York Times completely botches the data on how mass shooters are stopped.

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

Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Do you like your web history being seen and sold to advertisers?

No? Me neither. You got ExpressVPN right now at ExpressVPN.com slash men. So you may have noticed that you are paying too much money for all the things right now.

All those things include your cell phone bill. Verizon, AT&T, and T Mobile. They're charging you a premium fee every month for data you actually don't use. So why exactly are you paying for things you don't use? Why would you do that? Instead of paying $89 a month, your current provider, pay just 20 to Pure Talk for what, you know, you actually need. I made the switch. And at the beginning, I was kind of nervous because, I mean, when you've been working with one of the big companies for years and years and years, you think, okay, if I switch over, am I going to get worse cell phone coverage? Is my phone going to cut out? Nope. They use one of the same tower networks as one of the big companies for years and years and years. You think, okay, if I switch over, am I going to get worse cell phone coverage?

Is my phone going to cut out?

Nope.

They use one of the same tower networks as one of the big guys. The 5G service is great. Switching to Pure Talk is simple. So listen, if you've been sitting on the fence because, you know, just you're kind of nervous and change takes some sort of prod. Well, consider this your prod. Head on over to puretalk.com, select a plan.

Instead, head on over to PureTalk.com, enter ProBone Code Shapiro and get started today. Well, Joe Biden, I keep saying it because it's true. He's in serious, serious trouble. If you look at his poll numbers, they are just awful. The latest

Quinnipiac poll has him overall at 33% approval rating. 33% approval rating. It's like basically

Joe Biden's immediate family and people who work directly for the Democratic Party and members

of the media, but I repeat myself three times over there. His approval ratings by group are

horrifyingly bad. Among men, he has a 27% approval rating.

Among women, he has a 39% approval rating. Among independents, he has a 25% approval rating.

Among those with no college degree, 24% approval rating. Apparently, college makes you dumber

because 43% of people who went to college, a four-year college, apparently approve of Joe Biden. But even that is 43 versus 50. Among white Americans, 31% approval rating among black Americans, where Democrats are normally in the 80s or 90s, he is down to 59% approval rating. And among Hispanics, it's even lower than among whites, which, by the way, is now a consistent result. Joe Biden is underperforming among Hispanics worse than he is among whites in nearly every poll that has been performed over the last several months, which demonstrates full scale that the democratic dream of a multiracial coalition that was going to unite against the white superstructure. All of that was a lie. It was not true. It turns out people don't predominantly think of themselves as members of a race. They think of themselves as individuals with actual priorities.

And that's obviously true for Hispanics in America who are shifting in large numbers toward the

Republican Party. Even among 18 to 34-year-olds, that is Biden's kind of key constituency.

That is a very liberal constituency. He has a 25% approval rating. Again, this is

according to Quinnipiac. Those are horrible, horrible numbers for Joe Biden. And he keeps doubling
