Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate America's freedom, I call your attention to a courageous billionaire. When tyrants crushed his country’s freedom, Jimmy Lai spoke out against them. He could have escaped and lived the good life. Instead, he chose jail.

This 4th of July, when you watch the fireworks, will you think about the Declaration of Independence? You should. After all, the holiday is meant to honor the Declaration. It, and the Constitution it led to, help keep us free.

The Supreme Court strikes down Harvard’s race conscious admissions policy. Under it Asian-American students needed much higher SAT scores to get admitted. #SCOTUS rules that unconstitutional. Harvard grads argue both sides here.

Bjorn Lomborg says poor people have bigger problems than climate change. His ideas are common sense. Yet he's called “the devil incarnate.” Someone once smashed a pie in his face. “I get why people get upset,” Lomborg tells me. I don’t get it!

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:

Where would you rank the United States in global freedom? 1st? 10th? Try…25th! “Smothering government” is to blame says Derrick Morgan. The country ranked the most free? I’ll show you here:

Happy Father's Day! Dr. Warren Farrell says feminists too often ignore the critical role fathers play in raising kids, especially boys. My producer Maxim Lott reports:

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.

What is the difference between a private campground and a government run one? One tries harder:

Green zealots want more socialism and less capitalism. But socialists have “the worst environmental record on the planet,” Tom Palmer tells me. Capitalism often SAVES the environment. It might sound counterintuitive…but here is evidence:

Social Security and Medicare are like a ticking time bomb! Yet most politicians promise not to touch these “entitlements.” Those politicians are either lying or ignorant. Unless we raise retirement age, cut benefits, or privatize, the explosion is coming.

You can't talk about what sets America apart without mentioning our military, which not only protects our rights, but dominates the world as no other military ever has. We are the single greatest superpower in the world, but also historically unique in that we're not interested in conquest. More than that, we go in and rebuild the countries that we’ve fought with. How many countries can say that? A Classic Stossel from 2010.

Governor Ron DeSantis will reportedly get in the presidential race any day. What will he DO if he becomes president? I ask him in our full 45-minute interview.

A new wave of "citizen journalists" often outperform mainstream outlets. Tim Pool is one of those journalists:

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says America’s in a “national identity crisis.” Four symptoms: “woke-ism”… "transgender-ism”… "climate-ism”…“Covid-ism.” Here is our full interview:

So-called "anti-racists” now promote racist ideas. A (now-retracted) project by the taxpayer-funder Smithsonian dismisses “hard work” and “the scientific method” as "white culture." This is eerily similar to what white supremacists say, Kmele Foster points out:

Governor Ron DeSantis tells me government digital money would give the Feds power over "all of your transactions.” They'd "impose ideology"… like limits on gun purchases and how much gas you can buy!

Lawyers, and others who have never farmed in their lives, got rich off of taxpayer money – all through a lawsuit against the USDA that was supposed to compensate black farmers for past discrimination. One black farmer tells me, lawyers said "if you had a potted plant… you're a farmer. And if you have a yard and you fertilize it, you're a farmer." That's why 90,000 people got money from the government -- even though the USDA and the Black Farmers' Association say there were only 18,000 black farmers in the country. A Classic Stossel from 2011.

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.

I hope progressives wake up and realize that socialism caused Venezuela’s destruction. Otherwise tragedies like Venezuela will happen again and again:

Professor Asao Inoue tells other professors how to teach. What he says ends up in your kids' classrooms. Inoue says students should not be graded on standard English because that’s giving in to “white supremacy.” We debate:

Celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, and Prince Harry talk a big game about global warming -- but then they fly all over the world to attend parties. Hypocrites!... says Marc Morano.

Fossil fuels are…moral? Yes, says Alex Epstein, because “3 billion people...use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator." To let them to have a modern life, "that's going to depend on fossil fuels.” You won’t hear that in Saturday’s #EarthDay protests.

Has America become a nation of freeloaders? A person panhandling is what we usually picture when we think of freeloading … but in America today, the bigger recipients of handouts is not poor people, it’s corporations. A Stossel Classic from 2011.

Will government censor my new video? Label it “misinformation?" Will Facebook censor it? That’s what’s been happening:
