The media are FURIOUS that Elon Musk is quickly dismantling “USAID.” But I say it's a good start! The agency spends $40 billion a year — often on dumb things. More cuts will also be needed:

On my TV show, I wielded a chainsaw, to suggest that government needed BIG spending cuts. Last year, Argentina's Javier Milei did that while campaigning, and MADE the cuts! Now his country’s inflation is down and budget is in surplus. Will Trump follow suit? Hope so.

Big investment firms like BlackRock pressured companies to hire based on race and gender. “You have to force behaviors,” said BlackRock’s CEO. But most “sustainable” funds underperformed the market, and now investors are running away:

Joe Rogan calls Michael Malice the “King of Trolls.” “I’m committed to the bit,” Malice tells me. He says trolling is about making a target "into an unwitting performer … trolling is a type of performance art." We talk about his trolling in our full interview:

Students are taught to report anyone who "offends" them. Universities even provide hotlines. The new documentary, “The Coddling of the American Mind" points out how that hurts students. Here are a few students’ experiences with campus indoctrination:

“The state has killed more humans than ANYTHING in world history.” That’s why Maj Toure founder of Black Guns Matter, says citizens must protect their right to bear arms. “We want to defend ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that includes government.” Our full conversation here:

Media and universities brainwash people into wanting MORE government. But Michael Malice says there’s hope: “We’re not up against supernatural beings… We’re up against people who are far closer to snakes.” In “The White Pill,” he argues they can be beaten:

The International Longshoremen's union promises a strike in January in order to ban automation. But that will hurt everyone—including them! Technology replaces dangerous jobs. It creates safer, higher-paid ones. Here’s how:

We're told we need more minerals for EVERYTHING, especially "green" energy. But America regulators and environmental groups keep KILLING new mines! "Why in the world would you put billions of dollars at risk to get a permit? Knowing they'll just cancel a permit!” Physicist Mark Mills writes about the absurd regulations in the mining industry, "You're going to be waiting, not months, not years, but the record shows decades."

The media scream about the "epidemic" of school shootings. But there’s no epidemic. Shootings are no more common now than in the 1990s. Nevertheless, one death is too many, so should teachers brings their guns to school?

Two years ago, I interviewed a woman whose home was seized over unpaid taxes. But her house was worth $286K MORE than what she owed. The Supreme Court now says that's unconstitutional. Yet she still hasn’t gotten her money back:

So many class action lawsuits are SCAMS. Look at this $62 million Google settlement. The lawyers handed out millions to leftist advocacy groups. They awarded themselves $18 million. $0 went to the victims. “That’s just not right!” says Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute President Anna St John. Her firm challenges class action settlements where lawyers make money, but the victims get nothing. “It’s a huge conflict of interest,” she explains. “Six of the attorneys or Google employees involved in the case sit on the boards or sat on the boards of the recipients getting millions of dollars.” Like the ACLU and other leftist organizations. But you know who got NOTHING? The victims! Lawyers win. Left-wing advocacy groups win. Most everyone else loses.

Hollywood portrays civilian gun owners as fools, more likely to do harm than good. The FBI confirms defensive gun use is rare. But researcher John Lott says the FBI data is wrong, that civilians SAVE lives all the time.

Government-run schools often fail kids. In Philadelphia, 29,000 students apply to escape to a charter school. But only 7,000 get in, largely because the education/politician establishment won’t allow enough new charters to open:

“End fossil fuels!” shout the environmentalists. They tell us to use “clean” energy… like wind, solar, and hydro power. But now politicians and activists want to DESTROY hydroelectric dams!? Yes, activists targeted four dams on the Snake River in Washington State. They say the dams are driving, salmon extinct. That’s just nonsense. “All you have to do is to go and look at the actual population numbers to know that’s absurd,” explains Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center. The environmentalists plans would waste billions and destroy tons of clean electricity. “We keep doing dumb things,” says Myers. “It’s more about feeling good than environmental results.”

Politicians call food trucks "unfair competition" for restaurants—smother them with regulations. For some entrepreneurs, they're a great first rung for entering the food industry.

.@RobertKennedyJr just suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump. He was a unique candidate, with some controversial ideas. While he was running, I talked with him for an hour. Here’s our FULL interview:

"Climate change is the existential threat!" warns Bernie Sanders and others. But if he really believed that, he should support nuclear -- the only technology that has a track record of rapidly replacing fossil fuels. 50 years ago, the fastest decarbonization ever happened when France successfully switched to nuclear power. But environmentalists in the U.S. rarely support nuclear. Some even protest against it. "I live in terror of the next accident," Harvey Wasserman, who runs the group Solartopia, tells me. "It’s a virtual inevitability that we’re going to have another disaster." But NO ONE died from the one serious nuclear accident in the US, 3 Mile Island. Fukushima was overblown, too. Chernobyl was terrible, but that was a bad plant sloppily constructed to please Soviet dictators. No nuclear facility like that will be built again. Nuclear is better than the alternatives. You can watch our debate in the video above.

Kamala Harris appears to be “unburdened" by her past positions. She flip-flops on things like fracking, guns and healthcare... Thursday, she'll speak at the Democratic convention. If history is a guide, there won’t be much clarification. That's why I reveal her record here:

Kamala Harris is set to propose a ban on price gouging Friday. Sad her first big policy announcement is economically illiterate. "Gouging" didn't cause inflation, Biden's spending did. Her naive staff could learn from these Stossel in the Classroom students why “gouging” is good.

Americans are taught that the native people were stewards of the environment. Movies like Pocahontas sell that message. But Wilfred Reilly’s new book, “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me” debunks this and other myths about America’s history. Government guides for teachers say, “Native Americans lived in harmony with nature… They did not kill anything they could not use.” I believed it! But Reilly points out the Natives took slaves, set big forest fires to clear land, and often were just as cruel as white Europeans. Our new video looks at myths American schools still teach.

Leftists talk about the “original sin of slavery.” Sen. Tim Kaine says, "The U.S. didn't inherit slavery from anybody, we created it." America created slavery? Author Wilfred Reilly explains why what kids are taught today is just dumb:

Robert Kennedy Jr knows what to say to freedom-lovers. He criticizes government lockdowns, says America shouldn’t try to police the world, and promises to cut government spending. But would he really? I grilled him about those ideas for an hour. Here’s the start:
