An Inconvenient Scientist

Mk skepticism about climate hysteria got me censored by Facebook.

It got Roger Pielke Jr smeared and called a serial liar!

“There was an enormous effort…to try to silence people,” he recalls.

John Stossel outlines how Pielke was attacked by the White House, Congress and his own university.

The story behind the smear, here.

The Case For Capitalism

Socialists want more government control over the economy.

But you can’t plan innovation.

“Always trying to find new things,” says Steve Forbes, “that’s how you get a higher standard of living.”

Here, John Stossel offers his take on why capitalism is the ONLY system that works.

Say Yes To Data Centers

A data center uses as much power as a city!

So people want to stop them. But that’s dumb.

“Electricity replaces human labor and allows us to do more and better things,” says Paige Lambermont of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Here’s why we need MORE data centers, not fewer. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Nicotine Pouch Panic

Zyns are SAFER than smoking.

But now, some states tax them the SAME as cigarettes. Some as high as 95%!

That’s just dumb.

“If you make the safer alternative more expensive,” Guy Bentley of the Reason Foundation explains, “more cigarettes will be sold.” Here’s more from John Stossel.

Government To The “RESCUE”

From FDR to Obama to Mamdani… politicians trash capitalism.

Their words aren’t harmless, says Economist Don Boudreaux.

“Negative words… kept investors on the sidelines, kept unemployment higher.”

Myths about Great Depression and Great Recession are busted here as John Stossel interviews Boudreaux.

Little Kids, Big Government

Many parents can’t afford day care centers.

They want a cheaper option: small, in-home day care.

What stops them?

Government rules.

“They are layering on regulations that make it impossible,” says Carrie Lukas of the Independent Women’s Forum. Here’s more from John Stossel, exploring how big government and over-regulation make daycare less available and more expensive.

 

Tax The Rich?

Some people in America are really rich.So some states plan to tax them more.

But don’t politicians realize that Americans can move? Steve Forbes explains why “tax the rich” always fails:

Here’s more from John Stossel.

You Don’t Own Me!

Government forces people to get vaccinated, and requires licenses to braid hair, go hunting, buy a gun.

Politicians say they’re “protecting” us.

“It’s the excuse given by people who want to take away our freedom” says Timothy Sandefur of the Goldwater Institute. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Why Socialism’s A Threat?

Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek warned: “Socialism constitutes a threat to the present and future welfare of the human race.”

Here’s why we should listen to Hayek. Here’s more from John Stossel.

The War On Steak

Steak: It’s not what’s for dinner. Climate activists want to take steak off your plate.

They say beef causes biodiversity breakdown, high methane emissions, global warming.

Stossel TV Fellow Linnea Lueken shows why much of this fear mongering is nonsense.
