“If I didn’t allow them in, I’m the one going to jail!” rants a farmer after a California law allowed dozens of union activists to storm onto his farm. “You don’t know if they’re mad, if they’re going to get violent,” says one employee who was working when the union arrived with flags and bullhorns, “It was a scary situation.” The union wanted the workers to strike. Few were interested. “It is asinine!” says Mike Fahner, the farm’s owner. He points out that unions don’t have the right to access private property without permission in any other industry. “If they came back every day I would have been paralyzed.” Mike and another business are challenging the law in the Supreme Court. But they lost in two lower courts. California officials argue that unions must be allowed to go onto farms because "workers remain isolated from the flow of information characteristic of modern society.” Mike says that’s not true. “Every person has a cell phone in their pocket. [Workers] know how to communicate through Facebook and … Twitter much better than most. “This is trespassing,” he adds, “You should be going to jail for doing this.”

”You don’t judge people by what color they are,” says Charles Murray. “Treat people as individuals, most of the problems go away.” Despite saying that, people call him a racist. Here is my FULL interview with him. Decide for yourself.

Will there be War in Ukraine? Will we join the fight? Could be imminent. Ron Paul tells me President Biden’s Ukraine policy is “garbage.” He says it creates “MORE danger to the American people.” I agree. That's part of my hour long interview coming soon with Dr. Paul.

Lots of Americans praise single-payer healthcare in other countries. But Manhattan Institute's Chris Pope showed me that it’s not what most of us think it is.

Politicians spend MORE and MORE. Now $6 trillion every year. Is there anything that might make them be responsible? Romina Boccia of the Cato Institute suggests an independent commission to make tough cuts:

Politicians always have plans for us! But the best of life happens when politicians leave us alone. “A lot of the order that we see wasn’t invented by someone or imposed,” says Tom Palmer. Right! I give examples:

Why do campus protestors shut down conservative speakers? Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald blames the “diversity bureaucracy.”

The media treat Dr. Fauci as a saint. They sneered at Senator Rand Paul. They don’t like his "conspiracy theories,” although many now admit Paul’s arguments were likely correct!

Most in the media say they just report the facts. But is that true? Joe Concha says no. He writes about media for The Hill. --- Don't miss a video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://johnstossel.activehosted.com/f/1 --- He points out that even as fires raged behind reporters during protests, the media still call the protests “mostly peaceful.” “We've seen billions and billions of dollars in damage,” says Concha, “Yet you have news organizations saying, ‘this isn’t that bad.’”

Will transwomen soon dominate women's sports? Trans athlete Joanna Harper says no. Harper’s a scientist who advises the olympic committee. She says fear of transwoman domination “don’t hold up to the statistics,” and in sports, "trans women are hugely UNDER represented But many transwomen are winning:

Leftists encourage people to see themselves victims and demand their “fair" share. Psychologist Jordan Peterson reminds people that fulfillment comes from RESPONSIBILITY. Millions listen:

The cost of college has skyrocketed. Princeton cost me $2K a year. Now they charge $60K! College costs have risen 4x the rate of inflation. That's because government throws your money at colleges, says Inez Stepman. Yale has a $31B endowment. Why give them MORE money?

I've mentored and paid high school tuition for five Student Sponsor Partners (sspnyc.org) students. SSP gets results. The charity rescues “at risk” kids trapped in bad government schools. 85% graduate high school, twice the rate of their public school peers.

FINALLY, a President who “gets it.” He says: “The state does not create wealth.” No, it’s not Biden or Trump. It’s Javier Milei, the new President of Argentina. Here’s what he’s rapidly accomplished:

China is guilty of grotesque crimes. You wouldn’t know it watching the #WinterOlympics. Why do so many businesses and celebrities bow to China?

Exciting things are happening in education suddenly. In some places, charter schools bucked the unions, and got results. Inner-city kids do well on benchmark tests. I report on the innovations at the Success Charter Network and Harlem Village Academy in New York, and at the American Indian Public Charter School in Oakland, California. “Let’s destroy the system… create a system that serves kids,” says charter school director Deborah Kenny. Hurricane Katrina made that experiment possible by destroying much of New Orleans. Now 70% of New Orleans students attend charters, and they’re learning more. A Classic Stossel from 2011

I love Wikipedia! I even donated to it. But I won't donate again, now that I've learned how BIASED Wikipedia has become.

If you have a gun, don't fly out of New York with it! Almost every week, New York City arrests someone who brings a gun to the airport -- even when the person has a gun license from their state, notifies authorities about their gun and follows TSA procedures for flying with it. I interviews people who were arrested and confront the District Attorney who prosecutes them.

Has the public learned anything from government’s handling of Covid? I fear they haven't, but Senator Rand Paul says: "I think people have learned ... what to trust, and what not to trust, and to be skeptical." We discuss Covid Deception in our full interview:

I once was a big-government leftist. So was Dave Rubin. Here he tells me what he walked away from the left and became a classical liberal:

STOP! You probably broke the law today! Criminal law has exploded. There are more than 300,000 federal laws alone. 98% are created, not by Congress, but by unelected bureaucrats:

Socialism ALWAYS fails! But people don’t seem to learn. “We always say, no, no, no, this is not going to happen here -- until it does,” says Gloria Alvarez. She's is a Latin American influencer who gives lessons for the U.S.

Climate scientist Judith Curry bravely says climate change isn't a “crisis.” She explains how the scientific community became corrupted by "fame and fortune." Many politicians, and most climate scientists in the media, portray climate change as a crisis. "People are dying!" shouts Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Bill Nye "the Science Guy" says "The planet's on ****ing fire! ... This is an actual crisis!" But Judith Curry tells me: There is NO "crisis." Global warming is a problem, yes, but it's manageable. She explains how IPCC scientists recently admitted that their most extreme models won't become reality, and she notes that climate-related deaths are actually falling. For more, you can watch my full nearly-hour-long interview with Curry, above.

Stop! You need a license for that! Bottleneckers screw us in the name of “protecting” us.

The Southern Poverty Law Center promises to warn us about dangerous hate groups and extremists. In reality, it smears grassroots activists like "Moms for Liberty" for daring to disagree about policy. The SPLC is, sadly, powerful. It has nearly a BILLION dollars, and reporters pay careful attention to its reports. They shouldn't. The Southern Poverty Law Center has become a hate group itself. It is now a left-wing, money grabbing, slander machine.
