John Stossel Classifying genuine secrets can keep us safe. Overclassifying makes us less safe.

John Stossel 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.

John Stossel For decades we've been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn't. Recycling is a "sacrament of the green religion," says Science Writer John Tierney. He once debunked recycling claims in an infamous New York Times column "Recycling is Garbage." "It's even more true today," Tierney tells me. Greenpeace now says plastic recycling is a "dead-end street." Often it's also a costly scam.

John Stossel After 3 years of Covid, what lessons can we learn? Did lockdowns work? What about closing schools? What countries did best? ***** YouTube age-restricted the original video I posted, which vastly reduces the number of people who will see it. I have decided to edit out the parts that may have caused the restriction: a clip showing Australian Police choking a woman for not wearing a mask, Chinese authorities dragging a man out of his home, and protestors clashing with police *****

Did you know that the pilgrims almost starved after they arrived at Plymouth Rock? That's because they were forced to farm "collectively." The corporation that funded the expedition said, "grow food together. Divide the harvest equally." This is a terrible idea. It creates what economists call the "tragedy of the commons." When you share property and the results of your work, people farm until the land is barren, don't work as hard, or steal food from others. Young people from Students For Liberty take part in an experiment to demonstrate this "tragedy of the commons." It shows the solution is private property, which is what saved the pilgrims. Governor William Bradford finally decided to "assign each family a parcel of land." Once the pilgrims had property rights, they became much more productive and brought in huge harvests -- which they were then able to share with the Indians. So this Thanksgiving feast, don't forget to say "thanks, private property!"

Activists and politicians love electric cars so much so that they want to take away your other choices But their green dream is just a fantasy. Electric cars are cool. I'd buy one if I could only get the Tesla dealer to call me back. But when it comes to the environment, electric cars aren't even close to what activists and politicians promise. In this video, I continue where part I left off, with 3 more inconvenient facts about electric cars. Part 1 is here: https://rumble.com/v1rd42s-stossel-electric-cars-inconvenient-facts-part-one.html

John Stossel Politicians and activists who want all cars to go electric are guilty of magical thinking. Electric car sales are up 66% this year. President Biden says the future is "electric… and there's no turning back." California and New York are banning sales of new gas-powered vehicles. We're told they'll help us use less oil. But most of what politicians, activists, and electric car sellers say about electric cars is just wrong. In this video, and a second one coming soon, I show you 5 inconvenient facts about electric cars.
