Social Security is toast. So is Medicare. Too many of us old people live longer, so there are not enough working people to support us. Soon both Social Security and Medicare will be broke. Our politicians don't have the guts to do anything about it. Or even talk about it. It's easy to see why.

Recently, France's president, trying to keep his ...Read more

Recently, Gov. Ron DeSantis sat down with me for a one-hour interview. I started by praising him for keeping Florida largely open during Covid. "I just had to make the decision as a leader," says DeSantis. "Are you gonna worry about the daily news cycle? Worry about your personal popularity? ... I did not know how it was going to work out ...Read more

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is obviously a long shot presidential candidate, but he's refreshing. Unlike most politicians, he speaks clearly and seems smart. He probably is smart. He went to Harvard and Yale and then founded a biotech firm that creates drugs that treat prostate cancer, endometriosis, fibroids and more. That made me ask ...Read more

President Joe Biden and the media are excited about something new: a Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC. It's a currency like Bitcoin, except controlled by the federal government. Not everyone is a fan. "Sometimes government does things that may appear to be benevolent but really are kind of like a wolf in sheep's clothing," says Florida Gov...Read more

There's a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists. These politicians at least distance themselves from thugs like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but all propose socialism-lite policies giving government more control over more people. Why don't people in Latin America learn from the ...Read more

Earth Day is Saturday! Hooray? "Saving humanity from the climate crisis," says EarthDay.org, requires us to "push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy." Sounds logical. But my latest video explains why doing that is cruel to poor people.

"Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator," explains Alex...Read more

Over the past three years, we reporters learned there were certain things that we weren't allowed to say. Not long ago, in fact, my new video may have been censored.

One dangerous idea, we were told, was that COVID might have been created in a lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That seems very possible, since the institute studied ...Read more

The Stossel TV Studio is just a block from Trump Tower. Today, noisy helicopters hover, and sidewalks are pointlessly blocked by the usual politics/media excess: too many barricades manned by too many bored police officers. The predicted "big demonstration!" and "possible violence" are not visible.

Donald Trump left for the courthouse around 1 ...Read more

When I swallow, knives cut my throat. I cough and sometimes can't stop. That's frightening. I caught COVID. Dodged it three years. But this week, I suddenly felt lousy, and a home test said: "positive." The thermometer said: 101.8. No big deal, I thought. Almost everyone gets COVID. Lots of people say it's no worse than a cold. I'm multi-...Read more

All big American companies now require DEI training: diversity, equity and inclusion. All big companies! Really. It sounds responsible. But it turns out DEI courses are often useless and sometimes racist. First comes groveling.

My new video about DEI shows a conference that begins with a "land acknowledgement." A Microsoft employee apologizes ...Read more

Your flight is delayed? Blame your government. OK, it's not always government's fault.

Sometimes it's weather or mechanical problems. But often we suffer horrible flight delays because politicians won't relinquish power. In January, flights were grounded when the government's "Notice to Air Missions" system broke down. That was just the latest...Read more

Government imposes a million rules. Americans seem to want more!

Leftists want new gun laws and bans on single-use plastics, gas stoves, fossil fuels, gas-powered cars, nuclear power.

Conservatives want to ban porn and books that discuss gender identity and critical race theory.

People just accept bans on recreational drugs, flavored vapes ...Read more
