Green governments are cracking down on chemical fertilizer. "It's totally insane!" says Michael Shellenberger. Such green dogma would bring mass starvation:

Rhetoric Professor Erec Smith says today’s DEI training does more harm than good. You’ve been hearing about DEI training. It’s supposed to make us aware of our unconscious prejudice. But former diversity trainer Erec Smith tells me, "if you can keep this race thing going, then you will always have a business in getting rid of racism."

Have you heard of "designer babies?" Parents already pay labs to examine embryos and pick one with DNA they like. People can choose the gender, and screen for diseases. But we're still limited to picking among naturally-produced embryos from a mother. Soon it'll go further. Sounds good to me. But Sheldon Krimsky wants it banned. We debate:

California politicians said their law would help freelance workers get benefits. Instead it’s killing jobs! Freelance musician Ari Hertsand says it’s “preventing us from doing what we want to do.” #AB5

I’ve lived through 19 presidential elections. And yet…I’ve never seen WORSE choices than Trump and Biden. My newest video is different than my usual. I expect to be attacked by partisans on both sides.

It's #SchoolChoiceWeek! But teachers' unions and big-government politicians don’t want choice, and they HATE Eva Moskowitz for showing that kids allowed to choose Success Academy Charter schools... LOVE to learn:

After the shooting in Uvalde, politicians predictably demand gun control. But might trained, armed, teachers be a better solution? (Not arming all teachers -- just those who volunteer.) One school district in Texas tried that:

The "woke" mindset “hurts black people," says John McWhorter. How could it do that? By getting people to think of themselves as victims:

Chris Rufo makes some people angry. Why? Because he's eliminating woke departments at Florida universities, and exposing woke corporate and government trainings. Media say Rufo has "invented" a crisis about this kind of thing, and that he's pushing a "moral panic." But Rufo has evidence. Watch the video above to see some of it.

"This is tyranny!" Dallas car wash owner Dale Davenport tells me, choking up. Dallas politicians crushed his life's work -- they blamed his car wash for high crime, citing Dale's own 911 calls as evidence. They then re-zoned his business to destroy it. Glad he's fighting back:

Democratic socialists say, “We don’t mean Cuba or the Soviet Union… we mean countries like Sweden. But Sweden ISN’T socialist. No Scandinavian country is. Part 2 of our series: Socialist Myths

Privacy specialist Naomi Brockwell looked through my phone and said I should DELETE most of my apps. Here’s what she said I should delete and why.

I'm told Breakfast is "the most important meal of the day!" But there's no proof of that. Nutritionist Ruth Kava says eat when you're hungry:

Capitalism makes us…GENEROUS? Yes says Johan Norberg. We discuss that and other benefits of capitalism.

Democratic Socialists call capitalism “immoral” for allowing some to become super rich while others are poor. They have it backwards. Capitalism has made nearly everyone more prosperous than our ancestors could even imagine:

Hate it when you are the only car stopped at a light? I do. With roundabouts, that’s not a problem. They are better, for many reasons:

The news is ugly. Big government keeps growing. The Federal government alone, now spends $19,434 per American. When I did this video 12 years ago, it was ONLY $10,000. Back then two visions were at war for the future of America: On the left, the progressives, on the right, the conservatives. They clashed about the healthcare bill, Wall Street reform, and the stimulus packages. But the fight really boiled down to one key question: Do we need MORE or LESS government?

New York's governor did an "amazing job" handling Covid. Florida's governor acted "irresponsibly." That what's the media said. What REALLY happened? Adjusted for age, Florida had FEWER deaths than New York. Lessons from the pandemic:

Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg says we waste money in the fight against climate change. Governments spends trillions to fight climate change, but Lomborg says many of these policies are “not an efficient way of spending.” For saying this, Lomborg has been called "the devil." The Danish government even targeted him for his views on climate change. "I'm not trying to do something that's immoral or anything," he tells me. "I'm simply trying to make sure that we get it right." Lomborg says there are better things society should spend money on. He says we should spend on the “best things first,” things like maternal and newborn health and improving education, rather than squandering billions on pointless gestures toward stopping climate changes. You can watch the full interview above to learn more.

5 years ago… I reported on Philadelphia’s new tax on soda. The politicians promised to spend the money on early childhood education. 5 years later… here’s what happened:

The government tells us millions of Americans suffer from food insecurity! Really? 33 million Americans are hungry? Rachel Sheffield of The Heritage Foundation tells me it's not true. “Food insecurity is not the same thing as hunger.” Here, she reveals the truth about America's "food insecurity.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center claims it protects us from"hate groups." But it's a scam... a money grabbing slander machine:

After a recent storm, a ship full of fuel was BANNED from delivering that fuel to suffering Americans. It happened because of a stupid law with a stupid name.

Increasingly, government tells us what we can and can’t eat -- bans on trans-fat, happy meals, “raw” foods. California officials raided a raw food club, and arrested clerks for selling unpasteurized milk. Farmer Joel Salatin, author of “Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal,” explains why Americans DON’T have the freedom to choose the food they eat. A Classic Stossel from 2012.

Protectionism at play? Politicians call food trucks "unfair competition" for restaurants—smother them with regulations.
