Have you heard? The world is about to end! No…it isn’t.  Throughout history, people predicted the end of humanity.

Recently, 60 Minutes featured doomsayer Paul Ehrlich. They treated him like an expert, even though his dire prophecies have repeatedly been proven utterly wrong.

Instead of interviewing people like Ehrlich, 60 minutes should talk to Marian Tupy, the creator of humanprogress.org. “If you sell the apocalypse, people feel like you are deep and that you care,” Tupy tells me. “But if you are selling rational optimism….”

Rational optimism is right. Scaremongers like 60 Minutes are wrong.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

Libertarian journalist John Stossel created Stossel TV to explain liberty and free markets to young people. Prior to Stossel TV he hosted a show on Fox Business and co-anchored ABC’s primetime newsmagazine show, 20/20.

Stossel’s economic programs have been adapted into teaching kits by a non-profit organization, “Stossel in the Classroom.” High school teachers in American public schools now use the videos to help educate their students on economics and economic freedom. They are seen by more than 12 million students every year.

Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Other honors include the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

Why Biden’s Just Wrong: NO ONE “Knows How to Make Government Work.”

Published on

From StosselTV

During his last campaign, Biden claimed he “knows how to make government work.” But he doesn’t! No one does.

Biden can’t keep track of what he spends, inflation is worse, and our national debt is the highest it’s ever been.

Economist Ed Stringham says, “It’s a hubris that the government knows best.”

While government fails to work, the private sector gets things done.

Our new video shows ways markets outperform even the best-meaning politicians.

Biden’s Kill Switch: The Growing Threat of Government Control of Your Car

Published on

From StosselTV

The government may soon be able to shut down your car. Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill includes a kill switch for new cars.

In an effort to reduce drunk driving, government wants devices in cars that will monitor and limit impaired driving. But there’s a big problem: these devices give government control over your car.

Automotive engineer and former vintage race car driver Lauren Fix points out the dangers in my video.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
