One of the things that we've had to learn the hard way on the right side of the political spectrum, conservatives in the last few months is that control of institutions really matters.

It isn't just something that you can leave to chance because the left views this as a vocation into itself.

I mean, this is something that they do as a matter of strategy. They want to be in charge of things.

They want to be in charge of the schools, of Hollywood, of the media.

They want to make the decisions about who gets into elite educational institutions.

They want to be the ones who hold the door, who are the gatekeepers, and then they can mold society in their image.

And we're just beginning to see now, among conservatives, among Republicans, a willingness to finally push back against this in a way that matters.

Perhaps because we're defending on our own five-yard line at this point on these cultural issues, on schools, on so many things, but it has finally crossed over.

We've finally seen that if we allow this to continue, politics is in fact downstream from culture.

And if they control the culture and the institutions of culture, we will be in a place where we cannot win because the country will have decided to move past what we believe, move past what we think.

And in a one-area where there's actually a lot of control that they're always instituting over us is on the internet, which is the primary means of communication.

It's how a lot of us not only do our jobs now, but also talk to everybody by things, but they watch everything you do. You know that, right?

But you can anonymize your connection so that you can surf the internet freely without wondering who will get a hold of your search history or your viewing habits or what they'll do with that information.

Do you want these private companies that are now working closer and closer with the government to have the data on everything you type, every website you go to?

That's why I use ExpressVPN.

These companies can't see my IP address at all. My identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server and my data is encrypted for maximum protection.

Beside hiding all my internet activity, what I like most about ExpressVPN is how easy it is to use. I just download the app on my phone, you just set it up and then you run it and you're protected.

Stop handing over your data to big tech companies. This is a must. This is something that you have to have.

Think of it like insurance for your home. You got to do this. You must protect your privacy online with ExpressVPN. Defend your rights. Go to express VPN dot com slash buck.

That's express VPN dot com slash buck. You'll get three extra months of protection. That's right. Three three months when you go to express VPN dot com slash buck.
