Classic Stossel: Get Out The Vote John Stossel 2024-10-11 | At the end of the day, what moves people to vote? Political parties spend millions of dollars to try and persuade you to cast a ballot for their candidate. But there’s more to it than just convincing people. First they obsess about whether you’re worth convincing.Then they work on how to actually get voters to go to the polls.A Classic Stossel from 2012.
Free Money? What a UBI Would Really Do to People ... and Our National Debt John Stossel 2024-10-08 | “Universal Basic Income” is trendy, but studies show that it makes people work less, and save less. ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— Conrad Shaw, Vice President of the “Income to Support All Foundation,” believes Universal Basic Income will help people start new businesses and invest in home improvements. But a study backed by Sam Altman (creator of ChatGPT) tested that theory out. They handed 1,000 people, $1,000 for 3 years. Some of the recipients did make good financial decisions. But overall, the group ended up a little deeper in debt and had a lower net worth! I’m not surprised. If you give people free money, they’ll work less. Incentives matter. But even after this study, UBI proponents still believe a UBI is a good idea. Is it? Our new video takes a look.
Ep. 22 Jordan Peterson: On Free Speech, Responsibility, and the Radical Left John Stossel 2024-10-07 | This is my full interview with controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson.Protesters tried to shout him down, but they failed. Now millions buy his books about finding meaning in responsibility. Why do people -- especially young people -- eagerly buy books about responsibility? "There's just an absolute starvation for the other side of the story," Peterson says. "There are no rights, technically speaking, without responsibilities. And all we've had for 60 years is a dialogue about rights. Well, that leaves a hole ... in people's hearts," he says.More of Peterson's philosophy -- and some tough questions from me.

Government Abuse: How Politicians Steal Homes and Sell Them for a Profit John Stossel 2024-10-01 | Did you know some towns in America are basically stealing people’s homes? One missed tax payment and the government takes your entire house, sells it, and keeps all the money. ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— It’s hard to believe that could happen in America, but it does. It happened to Tawanda Hall. Hall was behind on her property taxes. She was on a payment plan, but short $900. What did her county government do? They took her entire $308,000 house. Hall tried to pay off the debt but says, “They didn’t want our money… They wanted our house." I covered her story two years ago. Her lawyer, Christina Martin of the Pacific Legal Foundation, told me this is unconstitutional. “The government can’t take more than it’s owed,” she explains. Now, she’s won in the US Supreme Court. The justices voted 9-0 that such takings are unconstitutional. Yet, in a handful of states, greedy government officials still steal people’s homes.
BUNK! Why Most of Robert Reich’s Ideas Are Just Wrong John Stossel 2024-09-24 | Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich and I both make videos about economics. But there’s one BIG difference: He’s wrong about almost everything! ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— Reich makes ridiculous claims. He says the government’s big spending didn’t cause inflation.He says billionaires should be banned. “There are only five ways to become a billionaire. And they're all bad!” he shouts. But that’s not true. Most billionaires get rich by making all of us better off. Reich trashes global trade. But trade lets people specialize, which creates jobs and makes everything more affordable. He claims inequality is bad. Again, not true. It’s simply what happens when people are free. Here’s our new video debunking some of Reich’s ridiculous claims.
Classic Stossel: Free Speech and Islam John Stossel 2024-09-20 | Americans fear speaking about Islam – and with good reason. Ten cartoonists were murdered for drawing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. Other critics have been shot, firebombed, and hacked to death. Stossel interviews people brave enough to speak out, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is on an Al Qaeda “Wanted Dead or Alive” hit list, and Bosch Fawstin, who won the "Draw Mohammad" cartoon event in Garland, Texas that was attacked by Islamic gunmen. They argue that if Americans want freedom, everyone must refuse to be censored by violent extremists. A Stossel Classic from 2015.
The Truth About Class Action Lawsuits John Stossel 2024-09-17 | So many class action lawsuits are SCAMS. Look at this $62 million Google settlement. The lawyers handed out millions to leftist advocacy groups. They awarded themselves $18 million. $0 went to the victims. ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— “That’s just not right!” says Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute President Anna St John. Her firm challenges class action settlements where lawyers make money, but the victims get nothing. “It’s a huge conflict of interest,” she explains. “Six of the attorneys or Google employees involved in the case sit on the boards or sat on the boards of the recipients getting millions of dollars.” Like the ACLU and other leftist organizations. But you know who got NOTHING? The victims! Lawyers win. Left-wing advocacy groups win. Most everyone else loses.

The FBI and Media Don’t Tell You How Many Lives Guns SAVE John Stossel 2024-09-10 | The FBI says self-defense with a gun is RARE, and their statistics support that. The legacy media, Hollywood, and left-wing politicians use that data to push gun control. But criminal justice researcher John Lott says the FBI ignores lots of cases where civilians’ guns SAVE LIVES. ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— In case after case that the FBI missed, civilians used their own guns to stop active shooters. Raul Mendez was one of those heroes. At a neighbor’s party, a guest opened fire and shot Mendez in the head. Thankfully, he was able to recover and pull out his concealed gun. He stopped the attacker from killing other party guests. Yet his story, and that of many others, aren't recorded by the FBI. They get little media coverage. Our new video shows why guns in the right hands save lives.
Environmentalist Calls to Tear Down Dams Won’t Save Salmon But Will Waste Your Money John Stossel 2024-09-03 | “End fossil fuels!” shout the environmentalists.

But now politicians and activists want to DESTROY hydroelectric dams!? ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— Yes, activists targeted four dams on the Snake River in Washington State.They say the dams are driving, salmon extinct. That’s just nonsense. “All you have to do is to go and look at the actual population numbers to know that’s absurd,” explains Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center. The environmentalists plans would waste billions and destroy tons of clean electricity.“We keep doing dumb things,” says Myers. “It’s more about feeling good than environmental results.”
Ep. 20 RFK Jr: On Deficits, War, Green Energy, Chronic Disease and Vaccines John Stossel 2024-09-02 | Robert Kennedy Jr recently suspended his presidential campaign. He was a unique candidate, with some controversial ideas. While he was running, I talked with him for an hour. RFK Jr told me that he wants to cut government spending, and that he supports freer markets. I was skeptical. What about his previous proposal to ban fracking? His opposition to nuclear energy? To even wind energy? What about the environmental regulations he pushes regarding chemicals in food, and his fear of vaccines? When it comes to foreign policy, he says he supports fewer wars, but what about his support for US funding of Israel? I asked RFK Jr questions about all those things, and fact-checked a few claims at the end. While we often disagree, I am glad he was willing to debate. That’s too rare these days.

What Your Teacher Didn’t Tell You About Native Americans John Stossel 2024-08-13 | Americans are taught that the native people were stewards of the environment. Movies like Pocahontas sell that message. But Wilfred Reilly’s new book, “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me” debunks this and other myths about America’s history. ————To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.com/#subscribe———— Government guides for teachers say, “Native Americans lived in harmony with nature… They did not kill anything they could not use.” I believed it!

The Reality of Slavery in America vs Everywhere Else John Stossel 2024-08-06 | Schools teach children that, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst.

He believes it’s better to teach the truth - that almost every society had slavery: the Aztecs, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, and most of all, the Islamic world. American slavery was horrible. But it wasn’t unique. Our culture would be healthier if we learned about that.
Ep. 18 Chris Rufo: On Wokeism in Schools, Critical Race Theory, & DEI John Stossel 2024-08-05 | Chris Rufo is known as an anti-woke crusader.Why?Because as a reporter, Rufo discovered that critical race theory is being taught in schools and that some teachers are forced to take white privilege training.For covering that, his critics say he’s a villain. The New Yorker even argues he "invented the conflict over critical race theory.”But Rufo seems to enjoy the criticism, and now he has real power in Florida because Gov. Ron DeSantis made him a trustee of a public university. In this podcast, I ask Rufo about that, and whether he and DeSantis are “authoritarians.”

Classic Stossel: What People REALLY Vote For John Stossel 2024-07-26 | What goes into "Winning the Presidency?"One thing for sure: people don’t always vote based on their knowledge of the issues.

We talk about free speech, idenity politics, his change in politics, and more.

I’ve discovered, to my sadness, most people don’t even know what a libertarian is.
