Stossel is a weekly television program that airs on FOX Business starring award-winning journalist John Stossel. The show originally premiered in December of 2009 and has been running ever since. Each episode focuses on a variety of topics related to economics, politics, and society, and brings a unique perspective to relevant issues.

The show typically features debates and interviews with experts on a wide range of issues. Stossel is known for his unique style of journalism, which often involves picking apart popular narratives and challenging commonly held beliefs. His approach is refreshing and thought-provoking, and he often brings a conservative-leaning view to mainstream topics.

One of the hallmarks of the show is its focus on personal freedom and individual liberty. Stossel is a vocal supporter of free markets and limited government, and the show often explores topics related to these principles. Guests on the show include economists, politicians, and activists from across the political spectrum, providing a range of viewpoints on complex issues.

Stossel isn't afraid to challenge conventional wisdom, and his willingness to ask tough questions helps to bring nuance to even the most contentious issues.

Stossel also features segments that illustrate the power of the free market and the innovation it can inspire. For example, one episode featured a segment on a company that was producing environmentally friendly fuel from algae. Another segment highlighted a group of entrepreneurs who had created a peer-to-peer lending platform that was disrupting the traditional banking industry.

Throughout the show, Stossel frequently reminds viewers about the importance of personal responsibility and the dangers of government overreach. He argues that too often, government policies intended to solve problems end up making things worse. Stossel cites examples such as the War on Drugs and the Affordable Care Act as examples of government intervention gone awry.

Stossel is a show that provides a platform for thought-provoking discussions on important social, political, and economic issues. Its focus on personal freedom and individual liberty makes it a refreshing addition to the television landscape. Whether you agree with Stossel's perspective or not, the show's willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and approach complex issues from a fresh angle makes it worth watching.

Drain the Swamp
37. Drain the Swamp
December 2, 2016
Drain the swamp; will Donald Trump actually be able to do that? The Washington swamp with its many cronies are used to holding onto power. Corporations cozy up to politicians so they get subsidies and tariffs that shield them from competition. Entrenched industries donate to politicians so newer, better companies like Uber or Airbnb will be regulated out of existence. Rich, powerful but innovative people like Elon Musk use their influence to put the tax payer at risk. Stossel will investigate whether it is really possible to drain the swamp.

New Hampshire’s Free State Project finally “triggered.” That means 20,000 liberty-minded people said they’d move to NH to try to create a critical mass of voters who will support liberty. Should Stossel move there? Maybe NH can be a model for real freedom.

This live episode of Stossel reacts to the January 28th Fox News Republican debate, just ahead of the Iowa Caucus. Most presidential candidates pander to Iowa’s ethanol crapitalists; John Stossel gives kudos to Ted Cruz and Rand Paul for daring to point out that the federal mandate forcing gas stations to sell ethanol is an unfair boondoggle. Stossel is happy that these two candidates stand up against crony capitalism, even in Iowa. That and much more is covered on “Debating Our Future.”

On our show tonight Stossel is covering economic myths. Do our candidates believe in economic myths? Well, some of them, yes. Many believe that a minimum wage will not kill jobs, that trade actually helps other countries at our expense, that prices are just set by rich people at whim and those rich people get rich by taking from the poor. All of these myths will be addressed by DON BOUDREAUX and our occasional devil's advocate Stossel. After talking to Don for a for a few minutes they move to include ELLIS HENICAN in the conversation initially starting with the "stimulus" and Bernie Sanders's support of it but later moving on to a variety of topics. The debate that results is a bit fiery. Good stuff. ERIN SHANNON of a Washington State think tank called the Washington Policy Center is here to talk about the 15 dollar minimum wage enacted in Seattle. She knows people aren't thinking about the unforeseen consequences of such a high raise in the minimum wage.. the worst of which is people losing their jobs entirely. BRIAN BRENBERG is here to talk about a myth peddled by Donald Trump and his unlikely bedfellow Bernie Sanders. Trade does not hurt us - in fact it helps us greatly. As Brenberg says, "Trade is a win-win situation." RAND PAUL is here in studio to talk about our 'Regulation Nation'. Stossel highlights the very sad story of Jack & Jill Baron who's land was being flooded. A government owned drainage ditch nearby was covered with logs so Jack asked government to fix it. Their local government said, "If you can clean the ditch, go ahead a do it." The federal government soon came along and charged them with a felony for damaging a 'wetland'. The Barons fought it all the way to trial. A jury cleared them. That still wasn't enough to get the federal government off their backs. The feds went after the Barons under civil law forcing them off their own property and into a modified trailer. In the end the federal government backed off when the Barons gave them 3/4ths of their property. Rand Paul says that if you think this is the exception to the rule that you would be wrong. He covered more egregious story in his book "Government Bullies". They cover many other topics I don't want to take the time to detail. STEVE MOORE from the infamous Heritage Foundation is here to cover tax myths - first up. Warren Buffet pays less in taxes than his secretary. Next up - if you tax the rich that will bring about more equality. Stossel then takes a few questions from social media. Do higher tax rates actually equal more revenue or does the Laffer Curve have something to say about that? Stossel's take.
