The Left's Grandiose Concept of 'Degrowth' Would Leave the World Poor, Miserable and Polluted!

From the Right / John Stossel /

The left has a new goal: degrowth! We should "buy less stuff," forgive debts, grow our own food, etc. They say this will "build a more just and sustainable society" and "save the planet" from "climate chaos." This idea is popular with capitalism-haters. One at a ChangeNow "eco conference" says, "A smaller, slower economy could also be a ...Read more

Politicians Must Stop Their Destructive Meddling!

From the Right / John Stossel /

"We're building a clean energy future," says President Joe Biden. Who is "we"? Well, you pay for it. He and his "green" cronies do most of the building. Lately, they're pouring more of your money into "renewable energy." They promise to give us "carbon-free power" from the sun and wind. Political scientist Roger Pielke Jr. notes, "It's quite ...Read more

I No Longer Prepare My Own Taxes Because the Form Alone Scares Me!

From the Right / John Stossel /

My income tax is due in a few weeks! I hate it. I'm pretty good at math, but I no longer prepare my own taxes. The form alone scares me. I feel I have to hire an accountant, because Congress, endlessly sucking up to various interest groups, keeps adding to a tax code. Now even accountants and tax nerds barely understand it. I can get a deduction...Read more

Our Sneaky Phones

From the Right / John Stossel /

The government and private companies spy on us. My former employee, Naomi Brockwell, has become a privacy specialist. She advises people on how to protect their privacy. In my new video, she tells me I should delete most of my apps on my phone.

I push back. I like that Google knows where I am and can recommend a "restaurant near ...Read more

We're More Thoughtful Than the Biased Democrats on Television!

From the Right / John Stossel /

On CNN, a "reporter" interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris gushes, "I'm struck, just in your presence! Looking you in the eye, with your passion ... " Really? Even Harris looked embarrassed. My new video shows how the mainstream media treat conservatives and libertarians differently. We shouldn't be surprised.

Reporters overwhelmingly lean ...Read more

The AI Job Change Will Mostly Be a Good Thing!

From the Right / John Stossel /

The media warn, "Artificial intelligence will replace millions of jobs." In San Francisco, Teamsters protest, demanding the government "protect" their jobs. In my new video, they chant, "Do not have these self-driving vehicles on San Francisco streets, taking jobs!" They're complaining about the Waymo driverless taxis already in use in part of ...Read more

Argentina Actually Elected a Libertarian President! I Wish Americans Would Do the Same!

From the Right / John Stossel /

Argentina actually elected a libertarian president. Javier Milei campaigned with a chainsaw, promising to cut the size of government. Argentina's leftists had so clogged the country's economic arteries with regulations that what once was one of the world's richest countries is now one of the poorest. Inflation is more than 200%. People save ...Read more

It's So Obvious That There Are Differences Between Racial Groups!

From the Right / John Stossel /

The New York Times put Charles Murray on the cover of its Sunday Magazine, calling him "The Most Dangerous Conservative." That was after he co-wrote the book, "The Bell Curve," which argued that different ethnic groups have, on average, different IQs. As Murray puts it in my video this week, "Blacks on average have a lower IQ than whites. ...Read more

Stutterers Often Afraid to Speak

From the Right / John Stossel /

Before anyone was "canceled" for saying a "wrong" thing, actress Emily Blunt and I feared speaking. "It was terrifying ... you're just gripped with terror," says Blunt in my new video. I also used to wake up scared, fearing I might have to do a few seconds of live TV.

We feared speaking because we are both stutterers.

"Are you cured?" I ask ...Read more

Let's Get Rid of Federal Flood Insurance and All Subsidies That Encourage People to Do Foolish Things

From the Right / John Stossel /

Sen. John Kennedy is upset because Sen. Rand Paul wants to limit federal flood insurance.

But Paul is right. In my new video, Paul says, "(It) shouldn't be for rich people."

That should be obvious. Actually, federal flood insurance shouldn't be for anyone. Government has no business offering it. That's a job for ... the insurance business.

Of...Read more

Our World Needs Fewer Elizabeth Warrens and More Elon Musks!

From the Right / John Stossel /

Politicians are often takers. They take our money (and freedom) in the name of achieving goals they rarely achieve. Elon Musk and Sen. Elizabeth Warren may be the best examples of maker and taker. They're the stars of my video this week. Warren shouts, "Tax the rich!" She especially wants to tax Musk, the richest man in the world.

In her ...Read more

Government Has "Resources," All of Which Are Taken By Force!

From the Right / John Stossel /

In this season of giving, I'll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps drug abusers and ex-cons find purpose in life through work. Doe's approach doesn't include many handouts. It's mostly about encouraging people to work. "Work works!" they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don't go back to jail.

I'll also donate to Student ...Read more

Overregulation is Delaying Self-Driving Cars and Costing Thousands of American Lives!

From the Right / John Stossel /

The driverless car is here! Finally. Google has harnessed artificial intelligence to create a self-driving car they call Waymo, standing for "Way Forward in Mobility." Regulators in San Francisco and Phoenix legalized Waymo cars because the robo-cars drive better than people do. They've already driven millions of miles on public roads without ...Read more
