Lots of people hate capitalism. They want socialism instead. They say capitalism hurts the poor. That's just not true. Here’s Johan Norberg explains how capitalism saves lives and why socialism always fails. Swedish historian and author, Johan Norberg also dispels the myth that Sweden is a socialist success. In many ways, Sweden is more free market than America. Norberg explains the many benefits that capitalism offers - it even makes people less lonely, more generous, and less racist. Here’s our full discussion on capitalism, the degrowth movement, “Scandinavian socialism” and more:

Climate activists say: eliminate fossil fuels! But the movie Juice For All reminds us that fossil fuels are needed to provide the cheap, abundant energy the world needs. Let's take a moment this #EarthDay to be grateful for the ways cheap energy improves lives:

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.

Biden’s Labor Department just added 300 pages of new rules. They claim it will help freelancers. But wait! Didn’t the leftists notice how their similar rules in California HURT freelancers?

When Covid hit, politicians rushed to spend money. I warned: "our national debt is already $24 trillion." That seems quaint. It’s $34 trillion now. Politicians are so irresponsible:

A full year after Covid began, teachers unions still shouted, "No school should reopen until it's safe!” MILLIONS of kids lost years of learning. Fortunately, independent schools did better. Here's my report from when unions kept schools closed:

Politicians on both sides now agree: globalization and free trade are BAD. Much of what they say is just WRONG. Let's debunk their myths:

FLASHBACK: 4 years ago, I released my first video on COVID. We didn't know much about it then. But we did know that government rules messed up Covid testing, and delayed telemedicine. Trump waived some rules, but we lost valuable time. Let's learn from that!
