Rand Paul: What They Didn’t Want You To Know About Covid, the Lab Leak, and Fauci
Senator Rand Paul was once labeled a “conspiracy theorist” for saying a lab leak probably caused Covid.
Now the FBI and Energy Department say it's likely.
Here he explains how Anthony Fauci and other officials tried to COVER UP the origin to protect their reputations and funding:

Inequality Myths
The rich get rich at the expense of the poor?
No! Carol Roth points out, "as we've increased the number of billionaires around the world, extreme poverty has actually shrunk".

California's Green Dream: Coming to YOUR State!?
“I don’t want to be anything like California!” says one frustrated truck driver.
But too bad, because he lives in Pennsylvania, which decided to AUTOMATICALLY copy California rules.
Now trucks in Pennsylvania will cost $50,000+ more!

To Protect and DESTROY?
An innocent store owner's shop was DESTROYED by police, chasing a bad guy.
The store owner thought he’d be reimbursed.
But city officials ignore him.

The FULL Judith Curry Interview: Climate Scientist Says World Won't End
Climate scientist Judith Curry bravely says climate change isn't a “crisis.” She explains how the scientific community became corrupted by "fame and fortune."
Many politicians, and most climate scientists in the media, portray climate change as a crisis. "People are dying!" shouts Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Bill Nye "the Science Guy" says "The planet's on ****ing fire! ... This is an actual crisis!"
But Judith Curry tells me: There is NO "crisis." Global warming is a problem, yes, but it's manageable. She explains how IPCC scientists recently admitted that their most extreme models won't become reality, and she notes that climate-related deaths are actually falling.
For more, you can watch my full nearly-hour-long interview with Curry, above.

Big Business ❤ Big Government
Big business lobbies government to pass rules that hurt smaller competitors.
It's always been that way.
100 years ago, Heinz found a way to make ketchup without a preservative. Then it pushed government to kill off its competitors by banning that preservative.
The sleaze continues:

Ban BEEReaucrats
“Do you really want to live in a country where government bureaucrats … can censor whatever they don’t like?” asks Flying Dog Brewery CEO Jim Caruso.
He’s spending his own money to sue beer bureaucrats who banned his and other beer labels.

The Best Part of the Constitution
It's Constitution Day! What's your favorite part? Many people I asked in Times Square couldn't name a single thing.
Parts of the Constitution are hard to read. But they're still important!
-- The right to free speech
-- The right of the people to bear arms
-- The guarantee of trial by jury
-- The 13th amendment, which outlawed slavery
-- The 21st amendment ending alcohol prohibition
I also ask liberty-supporting people like Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Former Rep. Justin Amash for their picks.

Minimum Wage Hurts Beginners
Seattle was the first big city to pass a $15 minimum wage.
People there were excited.
“I think it's pretty awesome since I benefit from it,” one told us. Another added: “I wish it was all over the place, not just Seattle.”
Five years after the law passed, the evidence is in: while some did earn more, entry-levels jobs decreased.

Designer Babies
Have you heard of "designer babies?"
Parents already pay labs to examine embryos and pick one with DNA they like. People can choose the gender, and screen for diseases.
But we're still limited to picking among naturally-produced embryos from a mother.
Soon it'll go further.
Sounds good to me. But Sheldon Krimsky wants it banned. We debate:
