Do you worry that you're being watched?

If you drive, you probably are.

My new video covers the cameras that photograph the backs of millions of cars.

A company called Flock has 80% of that market.

Flock's CEO says the goal is to "eliminate crime."

But lots of people hate the cameras.

"We are asked to give up our privacy for really ...Read more

Schools are ending gifted and talented programs. They will no longer separate kids by ability.

Why?

To address "inequity."

"This is so misguided," says education researcher Michael Petrilli in my new video. "These equity people say, 'Oh, we're against gifted education.' At the same time, they're upset that universities aren't very diverse. ...Read more

Cell phones made my life easier. So did the internet.

Artificial intelligence may enrich it even more.

But lots of people are worried.

"Stop AI or we're all going to die!" shout protesters.

It's possible that AI will decide that we humans are in the way and imprison us or kill us. Not likely, say AI specialists, but possible.

Anthropic's ...Read more

Did you celebrate labor last Monday, Labor Day?

I did.

But not organized labor.

At least I get to choose.

Organized labor isn't a fan of choice.

Joining CBS in NYC, I was told: "You must join (and pay dues to) SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild -- American Federation of TV and Radio Artists)."

Why? I didn't want to. "I'm not an...Read more

In 2022, politicians in Minneapolis and St. Paul voted for rent control.

I said that would lead to bigger problems.

Was I right?

My update video reveals what happened.

St. Paul politicians pushed rent control, saying rent caps would stop "unfair profiteering."

But what the heck is "profiteering," and how is it different from "profit"? Who...Read more

What a difference a few years make.

Not long ago, politicians said climate change was going to kill us, so we must move to "net zero" emissions.

This is theoretically possible. Since vegetation removes carbon, we could get to net zero by burning fewer fossil fuels.

Governments everywhere pledged to do just that.

President Joe Biden and ...Read more

Did you know that the SAT is racist?

During Woke I, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now calls it, "antiracists" said the SAT's creators "were avowed eugenicists."

No wonder Black people get lower scores.

Even if the test isn't racist today, it still gives unfair advantages to white kids because their parents are more likely to afford SAT ...Read more

There's a new delivery system in town.

Well ... maybe not in your town.

In some places, drones are now allowed to deliver small packages, groceries and takeout.

Companies like Wing and Zipline bring people hot meals in under 10 minutes.

I had to watch it to believe it. You can see it in my new video.

Drone delivery makes sense. Drones are...Read more

Just two years ago, the United Nations secretary general announced, "Global warming has ended ... The era of global boiling has arrived!"

"(We were) warned about this," said a "Daily Show" host, "by every scientist for the last 50 years!"

His audience applauded.

Wow. Every scientist agreed!

But here's the thing. They didn't.

My new ...Read more

I've failed!

I make the case for free markets... some young people elect socialists!

What are they thinking?

Do they even think?

Do they pay any attention to history?

Or economics?

Socialism always fails.

Only markets create environments that let people prosper.

"Getting the right environment -- this country's done it ...Read more

"We are doomed and our leaders are insane."

So wrote journalist Matt Taibbi recently.

Taibbi didn't respond to our request for an interview, but he raises issues that deserve debate. So this is based on his column.

"Not one of our presidents ..." Taibbi writes, "can resist starting wars."

When the Soviet Union fell, President Bill Clinton ...Read more

A few years ago, nuclear power looked doomed.

Plants were shutting down.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo won applause bragging about closing a nuclear plant "14 years ahead of schedule."

"Why would they applaud?" asks former nuclear engineer Ray Rothrock. "They shut down New York's finest source of clean energy."

Rothrock has met with ...Read more

More young people vote for socialists.

They believe socialism is good for the poor, and "pro-working class."

But is it?

Leyla Taghiyeva interviewed psychologist Rob Henderson, who points out that few poor people want socialism:

"When you actually see who supports socialism, these are people who are relatively well off," he says.

Henderson ...Read more
