Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says, “Capitalism, at its core, is the absolute pursuit of profit… That is not a redeemable system."Yes, capitalism can be ugly, selfish, and sometimes ruthless. But nothing else works.Under capitalism, you can only get rich by creating useful things for everyone else.The economically ignorant don't understand that.They say, “We have a finite amount of money. Jeff Bezos has $100 billion. His wealth is making a lot of people poorer.”So if someone has millions, the rest of us have millions less.But there ISN'T a finite amount of money. Trade CREATES wealth.In my video above we debunk more of the socialists' economically ignorant ideas....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HExwihnFmvM

May 500:05:47Tap to summarizeActivists are angry about data centers. They call them “uniquely evil.” One activist even shot a politician’s house 13 times.Why the hate?Because Data centers use lots of water and electricity. But we need them! They store and process everything we do online._ _ _ _ _ _To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ _There’s more demand for data centers now as more people use AI.Activists complain they “use resources like a madman.”"They are resource-intensive, but so are most productive things we’ve done in human history,” argues Paige Lambermont of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. People worry about increased electricity costs. But so far, research shows data centers haven’t caused significant price increases “Prices in Virginia are rising more slowly than they are some other places,” says Lambermont, "even though…more data centers are in northern Virginia than anywhere else.”So why is electricity so expensive? Because of government, not data centers. See why in my video above....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUgooIHuDC8
Transcribe →Ep. 44 Uncomfortable Topics with Heather Mac Donald: Race, Skills Gap, Disparate Impact & the Rol...
May 401:42:14Tap to summarize“I'm going to speak the truth here, and this is not pleasant for people to hear.” In my podcast with author Heather Mac Donald, she says uncomfortable things about race, crime, feminism and more.For example, she says, “The reality of our world today is not white privilege. It's black privilege.” She says many jobs and colleges today unfairly favor black candidates with fewer skills. “Harvard until recently had about 16% blacks in its freshman class,” says Mac Donald, “If it admitted based on academic merit, there would be less than 1%.” She’s been repeatedly called “‘racist’ for saying things like that. “Am I a racist for bringing this up? I am not!” responds Mac Donald, “The facts are the facts … They have been completely kept out of the public eye to keep this systemic lie of racism going on.” In this podcast, more facts you won’t hear covered by mainstream media....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp-6MtKylZM

Transcribe →Nicotine Pouch Panic: How Government Keeps People Smoking
Apr 2800:05:27Tap to summarizeNicotine pouches, like Zyn, are safer than smoking. But now, politicians want to restrict the pouches. Here's why that's a problem._ _ _ _ _ _ To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ _ Some states ban flavored nicotine pouches. Others slap big taxes on them. Some as high as 95% That doesn’t protect people. That's keeps more people smoking. Because: “If you make the safer alternative more expensive," Guy Bentley of the Reason Foundation explains, "more cigarettes will be sold.” Politicians say they’re doing this for the kids! “Pouches seem to lock their sights on young kids!” warns Senator Chuck Schumer. “The governor is a grandmother!" proclaim bureaucrats in my state. "She cares about the health of our children.” “Please,” responds Bentley, “Almost no kids are using these products.” Only 0.6% of high schoolers use them regularly. “It's adults who were buying the stuff?” I ask. “It is,” explains Bentley, “More than seven million American adults are using nicotine pouches … And that's a good thing, not a bad thing.” It is. My video above explains why, and how the “just-ban-things” crowd create more problems: like black markets and crime....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aBOgQIU8ws
