The “No Evidence” Lie

Inflation

Under Biden's administration, inflation has become a significant challenge, with consumer prices rising at the fastest pace in over a year, largely due to increased energy costs. Ben Shapiro highlights that while the Federal Reserve may hold interest rates steady, the annual core inflation remains high at 4.3% in August, far from the target of 2% 1. He argues that despite claims of economic improvement, Americans are paying significantly more for goods and services than a few years ago, which is reflected in Biden's poor economic approval ratings 1.

Every single poll shows a plurality of Americans trust Trump over Biden to handle the economy, without a doubt.

Shapiro criticizes the administration's "Bidenomics" slogan, suggesting it is merely campaign rhetoric that fails to address the real economic issues faced by citizens 2.

   

Union Challenges

Biden's longstanding ties with unions are being tested as he faces significant challenges from labor groups like the United Auto Workers (UAW). Ben Shapiro explains that the UAW is demanding a 36% pay increase over four years and the restoration of pension plans, which could lead to a major strike if not resolved 3. This situation threatens to destabilize the automotive industry and challenges Biden's commitment to a smooth transition to clean energy 3.

Joe Biden presumably will come down on the side of the unions because Joe Biden didn't care about the economy, doesn't care about the car companies, he cares about pleasing his union cronies.

Shapiro suggests that Biden's union affiliations, which date back to his first Senate campaign, may influence his decisions, potentially prioritizing union demands over broader economic stability 3.
