This Friday at 10pm, Fox News will broadcast my heated argument with NYC Transit Worker’s Union President John Samuelsen.  It’s part of my special, “The Battle for the Future.” Samuelsen, of course, argues that its ridiculous for me to say that “union thugs are bankrupting America.”   We also have a confrontational exchange about sick days.  I said:  “One fourth of your workers took more than 15 sick days. In the private sector, they wouldn’t last long doing that.” He responded, “About 25% of our work force are women... continue reading »

“Battle” to air October 15 at 10pm ET I finally get to air a Fox News special in “prime” time!   The “Battle for the Future” will air Friday, October 15.  Here’s a summary: Let's face it: The news is ugly.  Big government keeps growing. The Federal government alone now spends $10,000 per American, pushing our debt to more than $13 Trillion. Total government spending eats up 40% of the economy!... continue reading »

I’m getting plenty of push back about my special this weekend:

I love how we are classified as parasites. I get up at 3:50 most days. On the road by 4:30. During our busiest season it is usually six days a week…to be compared to a parasite is friggin over the line... continue reading »

My new Fox News Special “The Battle for the Future” airs Saturday at 9 EST, and Sunday at 8 and 11pm. One of the biggest battles is over what one guest calls, parasites who will bankrupt America.  He’s talking about public sector unions... continue reading »

In my weekend special, The Battle for the Future -- it airs Saturday at 9pm and Sunday at 8 PM and 11 PM ET -- I talk with progressives who say that the solution to deficits is taxes on the rich. But there’s plenty of evidence that won’t work. Maryland’s millionaire tax was supposed to bring in $106 million. Instead revenue went down by $257 million... continue reading »

I have a new documentary airing this weekend (Saturday @ 9pm ET and Sunday @ 8pm & 11pm ET) called, "The Battle for the Future." Let's face it: The news is ugly.  Big government keeps growing. The Federal government alone now spends $10,000 per American, pushing our debt to more than $13 Trillion. Total government spending eats up 40% of the economy! Yet the Progressives who rule elite colleges teach that government spending solves problems... continue reading »

Union protestors, angry over government spending cuts, shut down transportation in France and England today. The AP reports:

French unions challenged unpopular President Nicolas Sarkozy with a major nationwide strike over plans to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62, shutting down trains, planes, buses, subways, post offices and schools. ... continue reading »

I’ve been skeptical about Twitter.  IT folks at ABC called it a passing fad, but now I’m giving it a try. I may never have 300,000 followers like my friend Glenn Beck … or 6 million like Lady Gaga, but it’s nice to interact with as much of my audience as I can.  I will post behind-the-scenes pictures, previews of my upcoming shows and specials, and video clips.

Yesterday, Congress voted 60 to 40 to extend unemployment benefits through November. Unemployment benefits are popular with the public, so I understand why even Republicans say they support this handout “if it’s paid for.”  But this is not good policy. Unemployment checks lead people to delay seeking work.  I’m told that  it’s cruel to say that, but it’s just true. When you subsidize something, you get more of it... continue reading »

Americans are the most generous people in the world. We volunteer billions of hours of our time, and we donate more money to charity and foreign aid than people in any other nation... continue reading »
