Unemployed college students beg for loan forgiveness while great careers thirst for new people
Are the young people in your life wondering what direction to go? Are they considering taking on massive student loans without a clear goal in mind?
In this fascinating conversation between John Stossel and Mike Rowe (former host of “Dirty Jobs”) we’re challenged to rethink what we believe about higher education.
In this quick discussion from Stossel TV, (sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) Rowe takes on higher education, how the “safety first” mantra actually hurts society, and why it’s easy to save lives but LIVING life is more important.

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are here – but will they be able to fix our budget crisis?
Our government is $36 trillion in debt, yet it keeps wasting money on absurd projects like $118,000 to study if metal fingers can snap (spoiler alert: they can’t) and $700,000 to research parrot mating habits. It also spends more than a TRILLION in subsidies to state and local governments. Meanwhile, Washington sits on 300,000 buildings, many of which are unused, and land worth TRILLIONS of dollars. Yet instead of selling, it keeps buying more.
Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute says the first thing DOGE should cut are the subsidies to state and local governments. Then, they should slash the $180 billion a year spent in subsidies for corporations. But even if Musk’s new DOGE eliminates these expenses, the real culprits (Medicare and Social Security) are off limits.
So will DOGE be enough? Our new video above takes a look.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The ESG Collapse: Al Gore, Intel, BlackRock, and the Failed Promise of “Sustainable” Investing
From StosselTV
For years, investment firms pressured companies to hire people of certain races and genders, and pushed “sustainability.” That has hurt returns.
Investments that claim to be “sustainable” have been underperforming. It’s because companies that embrace “ESG” woke investing end up prioritizing politics over innovation.
Intel, once a leader in the tech world, wasted millions on ESG goals. Now, it lags behind its competitors. Its stock is down more than 70%. “You have a company that’s absolutely failing!” Says Matt Cole, CEO of Strive investment managing.
Even BlackRock, which led the “ESG” push, now backs away from ESG investments. “What you’re seeing today,” says Cole, “is ESG funds shuttering at record speed.”
Our new video explains why.
