Jan 19, 2022 ~ John Stossel, 'Evil Florida' Stossel exposes all the lies told about Florida and DeSantis. "Florida has the worst rate of coronavirus anywhere in the country!" BS. Despite having the most elderly, 16 other states including hard lockdown, masking states like NY have a worse rate.
May 11, 2022 ~ Stossel: Government required GMO labeling is increasing the cost of food. "The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the GMO labeling will cost from $598 million to $3.5 billion." GMOs are perfectly safe and the labeling is useless.
Jun 4, 2022 ~ John Stossel, 'Out of Formula' Shortage continues because govt. regulations won't allow formula from Europe or Mexico. "If you have the wrong scooper, banned! If you don't list a certain ingredient that the FDA demands, (or in the wrong order or not English) you're banned!"
Jul 5, 2022 ~ John Stossel, 'Government Delays Flights' There are now 1000s of delays and cancellations every weekend. "Why? Because of the pilot shortage." "Because the government passed another dumb law." "Instead of 250 hours, now [pilots] have to have 1,500 hours!" Few people can do this.
Jan 31, 2023 ~ John Stossel sues FaceBook for 'fact checking' some of his videos and wrongly labeling them a 'False'. His videos were dealing with climate change claims and were true. He is suing because "his viewership plummeted due to both Facebook’s censorship" and reputational harm.
Mar 22, 2023 ~ John Stossel, 'Diversity Training Disaster' Billions spent to make race relations worse. Black ex-DIE officer Erec Smith says it makes people afraid to talk to each other because they tell you its 'racist' to ask what someone does or where they're from. Smith was accused of 'perpetuating harm' because he disagreed that teaching standard English to black people is 'white supremacy.'" "They saw in me a threat. ... a Black person saying it's OK to teach Black students standardized English."
Jul 21, 2023 ~ John Stossel, 'Smears for Money' Exposes the Souther Poverty Law Center. The SPLC which was once a trusted cataloger of hate groups has become a hate group itself. They falsely accuse many good people and orgs. Got the Family Research Council shot up.
Aug 13, 2023 ~ John Stossel, 'The Fake Climate Consensus' Climatologist Judith Curry says scientists have incentive to be alarmists. Path to "fame and fortune." She tasted it when her research showed hurricanes were getting worse. Not when she found that was in error.
Nov 5, 2023 ~ John Stossel, 'The Food Insecurity Lie' Joe Biden says 24 million Americans "suffer from food insecurity!" That sounds like 24M are starving. Far from it. In fact 'food insecure' people are MORE likely to be obese. "Food insecurity is not the same thing as hunger. It just means that they had to rely on cheaper foods, store-brand alternatives ... or reduce variety." This is similar to the lie Democrats and the #FakeNews tell about "food deserts." They get create their stats for food deserts by excluding all stores with sales less than $2 million. But if they include all the stores that sell food, the effect disappears.
Mar 6, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'The Renewable Scam' California is showing how unfeasible this is. Due to the mandates, they pay 3X for electricty as the rest of the country and have more outages. It make housing far more expensive too. And harms the environment rather than helping it. "Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic. Then we've got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the world. None of these things that go into a turbine are renewable." These huge turbines create huge landfills of non-recyclable waste.
Mar 20, 2024 ~ John Stossel, "'15 Days to Slow the Spread'" "But the media's experts were just wrong. Swedish health officials were right." "Sweden's excess death rate was the lowest in Europe. Sweden's economy got through the pandemic much healthier than other countries. Because Swedish schools never closed, Swedish students didn't suffer the learning losses that American kids did."
Apr 27, 2024 ~ 'Capitalism Versus Racism' The race hustlers claim you can't eliminate racism without eliminating capitalism but capitalist countries are the least racist. Ibram X. Kendi: "In order to truly be anti-racist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist." Angela Davis, "Racism is intricately linked to capitalism. It's a mistake to assume that we can combat racism by leaving capitalism in place."
Jun 3, 2024 ~ 'A Ban on Freelance Work' "The Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new regulations to reclassify many individual contractors as payroll employees." This immediately cost many freelancers their jobs. So many had to lobby for exceptions. Those who couldn't get in on the exceptions are screwed. As usual, government does more harm than good with their 'good intentions.'
Aug 10, 2024 ~ 'Slavery in America' Sen. Tim Kaine said, "The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody; we created it." John Stossel and Wilfred Reilly debunk this and other common lies about slavery.
Rielly explains "Between 10.7 million and 12 million slaves from Africa went to the New World -- we got a little under 400,000. That's less than 4%." "Generational slavery, (where) if you're the son of a slave, you're a slave ... that was extraordinarily common."
"Most problems in the modern Black community don't have anything to do with historical ethnic conflict 160 years ago."
"Crime in the Black community increased about 800% between (around) 1963 and 1993. Racism didn't increase between 1960 and the modern era. You're looking at the impacts of the Great Society, the welfare programs."
"The Arabs were history's premier slave traders. Muslims took so many blonde slaves out of the (Slavic) region, they gave the world the name 'Slav,' (for) 'slave,' to the global slave population."
"The British Navy," Reilly explains, "in a story almost no one now knows, sank 1,600 slave ships. They freed 150,000 people that were enslaved at the time."
"By contrast, Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1962. And even now, the Global Slavery Index estimates that there are still 700,000 slaves in Saudi Arabia."
"Where there were no westerners, you'd have a lot of slavery for a long time."
"American slavery was horrible. But it wasn't unique. And we didn't 'create it.'"
Sep 7, 2024 ~ 'A Dam Good Argument' Environmentalists claim they want us to transition to 'renewable' energy but then they destroy dams, like Snake River Dam providing the best kind: hydropower. They claim its killing salmon but that problem was solved 50 years ago. "Between 96% and 98% of the salmon successfully pass each dam." Why are they lying?
Nov 23, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'Destructive Environmentalists' "People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things." They oppose almost all mines in the US making getting permits take almost 30 years. Most companies won't even bother anymore, opting instead for mines in Africa which exploit people and children with little oversight. "But the green movement has been perfectly happy outsourcing mining to disadvantaged countries where thousands of children in bare feet, working by hand with shovels, dig minerals out of the earth." "You start applying for permits," says Mills, "You're going to be waiting not months, not years, but decades!"
Mar 9, 2025 ~ Stossel, 'The Death of Europe' "Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there's so little growth that, per person, America's poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries." Unemployment is much higher than the US because of what you must pay people and its almost impossible to fire anyone. "Why would you hire anybody when you are essentially responsible for them for the rest of your life?!" Cost of living is much higher. "You get the right to free health care, but whether you get health care is a different story. I have friends who died in the Swedish health care system because they couldn't get treatment in time." Starting a business is so much more difficult, very few bother.
Apr 21, 2025 ~ 'Climate Myths' Stossel lists many common climate myths that have been told. The Arctic will soon be ice-free. Polar bears are going extinct. Climate change will create a massive global food shortage. All those are spectacularly false. Just the opposite.
Apr 26, 2025 ~ 'Living Hell?' John Stossel releases the next round of climate change myths. Droughts and wildfires are worsening. Sea level rise will be cause catastrophic damage. Coral reefs are dying. All of these things are provably false but the #FakeNews pushes it.
May 24, 2025 ~ 'School Choice' John Stossel makes the case for School Choice.
"A recent study found that 'more education freedom is significantly associated with increased NAEP scores.'"
"Florida's math and reading scores were once among the worst in the nation. After they expanded school choice, says DeAngelis, 'They ranked #1 ... And it's not a money issue. They spend about 27% less than the national average, and they're knocking it out of the park.'"
"A study on Florida's expansion of school choice found 'benefits include higher standardized test scores and lower absenteeism and suspension rates. Effects are particularly pronounced for lower-income students.'"
"When there is a choice, public schools improve as well. Twenty-nine studies examined the impact of school choice on test scores, with 26 finding a positive effect."
May 24, 2025 ~ 'Tariff Folly' John Stossel does a good job explaining the pros and mostly cons of tariffs. Debunks common myths:
Myth 1: Tariffs protect American jobs.
Myth 2: We need tariffs because America runs trade deficits with other countries.
Myth 3: We need tariffs because global trade hollowed out America's manufacturing base.
Jul 20, 2025 ~ John Stossel, 'Big Green' "Environmental groups are now rich. In 2020 (the most recent data available), they collected $8 billion in donations." They "recognize that hysteria generates donations. The oxygen for these organizations is money donated by people who think they're doing good." "So, you give them billions. You think your money goes to 'doing good, like cleaning up rivers or parks? Most of Big E spends very little on that."
"The Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club spend your donations on lawyers. The NRDC filed a new lawsuit every 10 days." "The Center for Biological Diversity has more than 70 active lawsuits." ""They have billions of dollars to not build a thing, but just to oppose building things." "The Sierra Club brags: 'Our legal team has stopped thousands of miles of fossil fuel pipelines and dozens of large power plants.' But pipelines are better for the earth than shipping oil by truck."
Aug 9, 2025 ~ John Stossel, 'My Socialist Mayor'
"Mamdani mocks those of us who fear socialism. He says socialism just means that the state 'provides whatever is necessary for its people to live a dignified life.' Sounds nice. But socialism doesn't bring a dignified life. It never has. It's wrecked lives wherever it's been tried."
"Whether you call it the abolition of private property," said Mamdani, "or you call it just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now."
"No! It's not! This idea has failed, again and again! Socialism, in various degrees, was tried and abandoned in the USSR, China, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, Afghanistan, South Yemen, Myanmar, Angola, Mozambique, Benin, Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Guyana, Chile, Israel, Sweden, and India. Countries that didn't abandon socialism, like Cuba, Bolivia, and North Korea, stay poor. Venezuela was once the richest country in Latin America. Now it's the poorest."
"Socialism destroyed Venezuela," says Venezuelan-born economist Daniel Di Martino. "No government has the capacity to run thousands of businesses."
"People need capitalism -- a profit motive -- to do that."
