What does it take for a parent to get arrested? Surprisingly little. Scott and Heather Wallace of Hewitt, Texas, encourage their three boys to play outside on their own to build independence. One day, driving home from karate practice, 8-year-old Aiden misbehaved. So, half a mile from home, Heather stopped the car and told him, "Walk the rest of...Read more

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris keep making new promises. Trump fans applauded when he said he'll eliminate taxes on tips. Then Harris proposed that, too. Her audience applauded. Trump then proposed not taxing overtime. More applause. But narrow tax exemptions are bad policy. Economist Allison Schrager explains how they create nasty, unintended ...Read more

Some politicians and activists are eager to give you "free" money. They call it universal basic income (UBI) -- cash for everyone, no strings attached. Comedian Dave Chappelle thinks UBI would "save my community almost instantly."

UBI activist Conrad Shaw agrees, "You would effectively get rid of extreme poverty immediately." He says a UBI will...Read more

Sometimes politicians steal people's homes. Really. If homeowners miss property tax payments, even if they never received the bills, some towns grab the whole house and keep the proceeds. All the proceeds. Even if the total is much more than the property tax owed. I reported on this (mal)practice a couple years ago. Since then, there's been good...Read more

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich now makes videos, like I do. In fact, his channel, Inequality Media, is very much like Stossel TV. He also reaches people via social media platforms, gets millions of views and covers economic topics. Reich does almost exactly what I do, except Reich is repeatedly wrong. It's understandable. Despite being ...Read more

Have you gotten a letter that says, "You may be entitled to compensation"? I get a bunch. One claimed my union (New York State forced me to join) probably cheated me on medical insurance. I didn't think they did, but I filled out the forms. I got a check for $557. Great! ExcepT my lawyers pocketed $7 million. How is that fair? Well they worked ...Read more

Do you carry a gun? Bad idea, says Hollywood. Civilians with guns are fools. You are more likely to hurt yourself than the bad guy. "Leave it to a good guy with a gun to really screw things up," says a cop on ABC's "The Rookie." Liberal politicians agree.

"A good guy with a gun will stop bad guys with a gun?! It doesn't hold up," smiles New ...Read more

Instead of using fossil fuels, we're told to use "clean" energy: wind, solar or hydropower. Hydro is the most reliable. Unlike wind and sunlight, it flows steadily. But now, environmental groups want to destroy dams that create hydro power. "Breach those dams," an activist shouts in my new video. "Now is the time, our fish are on the line!" The ...Read more

Presidential candidate RFK Jr. suspended his campaign last week and endorsed Donald Trump. I disagree with Kennedy about a lot. But at least he was willing to talk to people who disagree with him. In my newest video, we debate. Kennedy complains that mainstream media won't have him on -- even to argue with him. "Nobody will. None of them. They ...Read more

Who is Kamala Harris? What does she believe? It's hard to know because she won't take questions from reporters. Instead, she reads from a teleprompter and gives the same speech again and again. She's eager to spend other people's money.

As the Biden administration spent America further into debt, Vice President Harris cast tiebreaking votes to ...Read more

American kids are now taught that before Christopher Columbus wrecked things, peaceful Native Americans protected the environment. Hollywood movies feed the narrative. Disney's "Pocahontas" sings, "I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name." Political Science professor Wilfred Reilly says that's ridiculous. "...Read more

Today people are taught, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine actually said, "The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody; we created it." An MSNBC "expert" claims "American slavery was worse because slaves were treated as property."

"That's complete nonsense," replies political...Read more

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won applause at the Libertarian presidential convention by criticizing government lockdowns and deficit spending, and saying America shouldn't police the world. It made me want to interview him. This month, I did. He said intelligent things about America's growing debt: "President Trump said that he was going to balance the...Read more
