Stossel Season 1 Full Episode Guide

Episode 49 - Charity
First Aired: December. 30,2010

Who gives to charity? ...and other issues surrounding private charitable giving, its benefits, and what happens at the intersection of private charity and forcibly taxpayer funded social welfare programs.

Episode 48 - The Value of Skepticism
First Aired: December. 16,2010

Do you believe in psychics, astrology, ghosts? Polls show that about a quarter of Americans believe in such paranormal nonsense. But if any of that were true, you'd think the astrologers, or psychics, or ghost hunters would be eager to prove it, because, not only would they be proven right, they'd make a million dollars. That’s right, James Randi will pay them, or you, a million dollars. All you have to do is prove you have an ability that can’t be explained by science. Mr Randi says it is simple. Make a claim about your ability, and his group will devise a way to test it. If you can do what you say, he will give you a million dollars. He won’t even test you himself. He says some people have complained that he gives off “vibrations” that mess up the test. So far no one has collected. In fact, no one has even passed a preliminary test. On my show tonight James Randi will also demonstrate how some of these people, like the ones selling “power” bracelets that they claim can increase your balance or strength… trick you into thinking their products work. He’ll perform a test on me tonight, at 9pm on the Fox Business Network.

Episode 42 - Libertarians and the Election
First Aired: November. 04,2010

On this program, John analyzes the results of the Tuesday mid-term elections in the USA, with the help of his guests. John attempts to answer the question, did some voters shy away from certain candidates out of ignorance and a misconception of what libertarians are really about? The core theme: did Libertarians get their ideas across to the public? Did Libertarians win? With Tea Party candidates and protesters getting much attention in this cycle, John also takes another look at the Tea Party and its ideology to see whether it really squares with that of most Libertarians. And, we hear from typically great guests, among them Ron Paul, Bill O'Reilly, and favorite Fox News liberal contributor, Ellis Henican.

Episode 32 - The Americans with Disabilities Act

When President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law 20 years ago, he had good intentions. Everyone wants to protect the disabled, but did those good intentions have nasty, unintended consequences?

Episode 31 - Who Should Handle Transportation?
First Aired: August. 05,2010

When a private company operates a public facility under contract to government, it must perform. If it doesn't, it will be "fired" — its contract won't be renewed. Government is never fired. Contracting out to private enterprise isn't the same thing as letting fully competitive free markets operate, but it still works better than government.

First Aired: July. 08,2010

Episode 26 - More Guns Less Crime?
First Aired: June. 25,2010
