John Stossel on Odysee

Am I sexist? I think men and women are different. But experts say those differences don’t exist._ _ _ _ _To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form _ _ _ _ _ Experts have said that since I was young. Years ago, I asked feminist leader Gloria Steinem, “Aren't women in general better nurturers?” “No,” she responds angrily, “Next question.” Today, the Steinem argument has largely won, and many people are scared to talk about differences. I’m glad Heather Mac Donald isn’t. She went viral on X saying, “it is not a product of systemic misogyny that males brought us the scientific revolution, that they circumnavigated the globe.” I ask her about that. “If we weren't so insane,” she tells me, “It would be perfectly obvious that there are innate differences between males and females.” In the video above, we discuss what those are, and the consequences of ignoring them....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFXRoKzWFR0

Are we witnessing the fall of the American empire? Are we doomed to fall, like Ancient Athens, Ancient Rome and others?No. But if we don’t learn the lessons of history, we could be. To avoid collapse, historian Johan Norberg argues we especially need to learn from the rise and fall of past golden ages—like Ancient Athens, Ancient Rome, China’s Song Dynasty, the Italian Renaissance, and more.“What sets these golden ages apart," he explains, "is that they managed to ... give more people more freedoms.” Like freedom to trade. That helped many golden ages prosper.In this podcast, we also discuss what led to their decline. I was surprised to learn that many problems we face today (like inflation and unsustainable entitlement spending) also destroyed societies more than a thousand years ago. “But that doesn't mean that we're doomed,” says Norberg. “There are so many instances where societies faced terrible situations … but bounced back … So there is still time. We can still save this golden age.”...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FomZxFPBMrE

“Wall Street giants … you’ve driven up housing prices!” That sounds like something leftists like Elizabeth Warren would say, but it was said by President Trump!_ _ _ _ _ _To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ _ “I have signed an executive order," Trump continued, "Banning large institutional investors from buying single family homes!" Ban investors? Trump was a developer. I’d think he’d know better than to get economic policy from the far-left. In reality, ALL the big investors own just 2% of homes. And they don’t take them off the market. They build things, and renovate! “The presence of investors actually bring down housing prices,” explains Cato Institute economist Stephen Slivinski. But politicians know voters don’t understand economics. Our video above explains what actually DOES raise the cost of a new house....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPyhcDj9Jbg

Did you know that police can legally take your property even if you did NOTHING wrong?!It happens every day! ---------------To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe---------------- A new documentary, "When Cops Become Robbers," shows how police take money from people they never charge with a crime. Then, the people need to prove their innocence to get it back. One victim of these laws was Virginia restaurant owner Mandrel Stuart. When police pulled him over, he expected a routine traffic stop. Instead, when officers found $18,000 in his truck – money Stuart planned to use to buy kitchen equipment, the police called it drug money and kept it! No evidence. No charges… Just $18,000 gone. Our new video tells his story, and others like it, and how some states are changing their laws....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6gPB_6LDtc

Socialists like New York City’s new mayor push the “warmth” of collectivism. Activists chant about “sharing the prosperity.”But every time they build their model of a socialist utopia, a commune, they fail! ———To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form———Socialist commune New Harmony, Indiana collapsed. It was recently revitalized by a nepo baby’s oil money.“There’s not enough” said the bookkeeper for The Farm, a commune formed in the ‘70s. It too only survived because they abandoned socialism and allowed residents to own things.The Oneida community was a free-love socialist commune saved by selling expensive silverware.The Amana Colonies were on the brink of failure, until they reformed into a company, selling appliances.Communes abolish private property, promise equity, and then collapse.I wish my new mayor understood that.“Sharing” sounds nice, but it encourages some people to not try very hard. Yet someone has to pay the bills.In this video: socialist communes that faced failure, and were saved by capitalism....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duWIlJd-LRI

Hollywood today loves to preach, “Give up your dreams, for the good of society." But audiences often reject that message. People want to see individuals succeed. ———To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form———“American audiences are in love with individualism,” says author Tim Sandefur, "in love with heroes who accomplish their dreams."The Pursuit of Happyness is film about a man who becomes homeless, but never gives up on his dream. Audiences loved it.In the original Wizard of Oz, Dorothy discovers she always had the power to accomplish her dream: going back home to Kansas.But in the new version, Wicked, they focus on the Wicked Witch. They turn her from villain to victim. She’s a victim because she’s green.Her dream is for other people to accept her. She doesn’t have the power to realize her dream, other people do.“Hollywood very often is trying to propagandize to us about the evils of individualism.” says Sandefur.In the recent Wonder Woman sequel, the villain is a man who grants wishes. This threatens the world. To save it, every individual must give up what they want.When woke movies flop, Hollywood often blames the audience.When her new Charlie’s Angels reboot did poorly, director Elizabeth Banks blamed men, saying: “Men don’t go see women do action movies.” But men loved the original Charlie’s Angels, Tomb Raider, Lucy, Resident Evil, Kill Bill, Aliens, etc... In this video, the author of the new book, You Don’t Own Me, says today’s woke Hollywood doesn’t understand what audiences want....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSJdxKf8gVM

I once reported how great Wikipedia is. But now, it’s manipulated by leftists.That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results.In this podcast, Ashley Rindsberg of NPOV Media explains how, “Wikipedia's information spreads into everything online.”That means when your ask ChatGPT, Google, or your phone a question, it’ll likely to take leftist spin straight from Wikipedia.I also share an excerpt of my conversation with Veteran Wikipedian Jonathan Weiss.Three years ago, he told me how the site, like academia, has been captured by leftists. We cover many examples....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ8FUqjz1Gk

People find fault with capitalism. Many think they’d prefer socialism.Why? Because they believe absurd myths about it. ———To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe——— For example: When socialist countries fail, defenders say: “That wasn’t real socialism.” Some say that about the Soviet Union (which made private business illegal). “That's about as close as the world ever saw to the purest socialist end of the spectrum,” explains economist Ben Powell. Meanwhile, capitalism gets trashed. We are told billionaires get rich by making others poor.But that’s another myth.

Countries all over the world are imposing digital IDs. They tie your identity to everything you do. Is America next?———To make sure you receive the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscrib...———Spain’s Prime Minister wants “An end to anonymity online!” Tech privacy expert Naomi Brockwell @NaomiBrockwellTV warns that’s dangerous. “Privacy is not about hiding,” she tells Stossel TV producer Kristin Tokarev. “It's about an individual's right to decide for themselves who gets access to their data. A Digital ID... will strip individuals of that choice.” The new government mandated digital IDs aren’t just a digital version of your driver’s license or passport. “It connects everything,” Brockwell explains. “Your financial decisions, to your social media posts, your likes, the things that you're watching, places that you're going… Everything you say will be tied back to who you are.” And once everything runs through a single government ID, access to services becomes something you need permission for. That’s already a reality in China where citizens are tracked, scored, and punished for “bad” behavior. Brockwell warns the US is “skyrocketing in that direction.”She says Americans need to push back now....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6R48RQB5gY
