This ACU show consists of several segments from John Stossel and the Dead Wrong program with Johan Norberg.   The Left's War on Science https://youtu.be/OX8kEjSUr04 John Stossel Published on Apr 9, 2018 Many in the media say there’s a conservative war on science. Is this true? No, says John Tierney, Contributing Editor at the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal. Tierney says “the real war on science is the one from the left.” Subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/johnstossel Like me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnStossel/ Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/johnstossel John Stossel points out that people on the right are more likely to believe in creationism. Tierney answers, “creationism doesn't… affect the way science is done. I can't find examples where the right-wing stopped the progress of science… whereas you can look on the left and you see so many areas that are taboo to research.” Gender differences, IQ trends, genetically modified foods. Tierney says the left stifled research into what could have been a second Green Revolution to feed Africa. People who study gender difference have leaned to keep quiet, says Tierney. “You can't say that there are more men are more aggressive, more risk-taking, that status matters and making money matters more to them.” Finally, Tierney complains that Universities are utterly dominated by leftists. In the social sciences, Democrats outnumber Republicans by at least eight to one. In some fields like sociology it's 44 to one. Students are more likely to be taught in sociology by a Marxist [25%] than by a Republican [2%]. Tierney says “once an academic department gets a majority of people who are on the left, they start hiring people like themselves, and pretty soon the whole department is that way. They start to think that their opinions and that their interests are not only the norm, but the truth.” John Stossel says: think about that, next time you hear about a "conservative war on science".   The Great American Tax Ripoff https://youtu.be/Xox199TucHE John Stossel Published on Apr 10, 2018 Tax Day gets a lot of attention, but John Stossel says that attention is misleading, because the April 17th deadline is only for income tax. That's just a fraction of the taxes Americans pay. ---------------- Subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/johnstossel Like me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnStossel/ Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/johnstossel ---------------- You probably know about property, payroll and sales taxes, but there are also lots of hidden taxes. Kristin Tate reports on them in her new book "How Do I Tax Thee? A Field Guide to The Great American Ripoff." Tate found a hundred hidden taxes -- a rifle tax, airplane and hotel taxes, dog license fees, a blueberry tax in Maine, a sliced bagel tax in New York City (whole bagels aren't taxed), and so on. Our camera followed her as she asked people if they knew about these taxes. Few did. When people did know about them, like the dog license fee, they assumed it went to cover the public costs of dogs. But Tate says: "In most cities it doesn't go to dogs. It just goes to the general fund like all of these other fees." Stossel assumed 9-1-1 fees went to maintain the emergency system. But Tate says they usually don't. "In most states and cities the 9-1-1 fees just go to general funds," she said. In Chicago, "They hiked their 9-1-1 fee in 2008. The reason for the hike was to fund their Olympic bid." But when Chicago lost its Olympic bid, the 9-1-1 fee hike stayed in place. "Once they put [taxes] there, they almost never go away," Stossel suggested. "Absolutely not. Government only grows," Tate said.   Jordan Peterson on Finding Meaning in Responsibility https://youtu.be/BIVec7zOCEU John Stossel Published on Apr 17, 2018 Jordan Peterson is an unlikely Youtube celebrity.
