stossel u, that's our show, tonight. ♪ [cheers and applause] and now, john stossel. [cheers and applause] john: thank you, you studets are unusua you have a special interest in iberty. moss people don't which makes me wonder, how many of you ever discuss liberty on your campuses? how many of your professors discuss it? [laughter] how many of them discuss social justi? many more. i'm not surprised gven the love for big government on big campuses. most of your professors probably don't know much about basic economics, which is why we titled this show "stossel univeity," and our professors

are ab biand john, here to tell students about what they should learn about economics. you can't do it all. first thing? >>irst thing to learn is that intentions re not results. judge policies by rsults and not stated intentions. second, people in the public sector are just as selfnterested and no more enlightened than peple in the private sector. john: nice or vicious as everybody else. >> absolutely. john: they are doing the public good. they are different. >> at's what they say john: other ideas are taught. higher taxes encourage work. carl smith,who teaches economics at theuniversity of north north carolina says taxes make me poore and when people are poorer, they work more for the thgs they want, therefore taxes should mak me work harder. >> when you tax somethg, you get less of it. if you tax work, the'sless of it. same for investment in business. this is why in countries with high taxes like the united states, you see slow growth and

slow job creation. john: can you believe economic professors teach this stuff? >> i wonder if professor smith would double his teaching load if unc chopped the salay in half. i bet not. [laughter] john: there's a credit crisis, regulate the banks. you estified that dodd-frank is the cure. >> dodd-frank was passed in sponse t the financialcrisis to protect consumers, but what we are seeing in practice is that consumers are having less access to credit and savings, and bank fees at record highs, and 3 million people shut out of the banking system. it's a law ofunintended consequences. john: as americans, we should buy america. >> buying fromforeign, we get goods at lower prices. you want access to the lowest priced goods, but when americans buy from foreigners we send that money abroad, money comes back to america as demand for

american exports or investment in america. it's normally not seen by the people who don't know economics, but it's real, and it helps america. john: more patriotic if i buy american sff. >> no, no. when you buy american stuff for that sake, that means you are not employing resources as they should be employed. there's no reason you shouldn't choose the best deal you can find. that's patriotic. john: income inequality. the theme of the day, and it is gross that some people have so much more thanothers, shouldn't government try to even it out? >> government already does to a large extent so the top 20% of earners pay 70% of taxes. we have a huge social safety net. what's concerning to me is not income inequality, but we have millions of people trapped in poverty from a broken welfare instigate, broken education system. john: a gallop pole finds 78% of people yor age support raising the minimum wage. most of the public does, more

people your age do. how many agree we should raise the minimum wage? [laughter] all right. well, you clear lier are libertarians. >> if you raise the minimum wage, you raise cost to employers of employing low skilled workers. when you ise the cost, you get less of it. simple as that. john: i want to hear from the students. what questions do you have for abby and john? ke it away. >> okay, hi, i'm lauren clark from arizona state university. i'm currently studying journalism, so it's my dream to take over your show one day. john: please do. [laughter] >> my question to you guys is i'm also ver interested in economics. why is it that in the university sector, there's so many progressive people studying economics when, to me, i's just reasonable sense? >> you know, i wish i had a good answer to the question. i don't understand why people whodon't get economics don't get it. it's like they are blind to

reality and the fact that gravity is operational. >> but i also think they are not exposed to it. the majority of high school stents arenot exposed to i or college students. can't be guilty for something you don't know. >> i'm sky lar, and i study economics at the university of albany, and my question to you guys is that when talking about income inequality, how do you find the most effective way to relay to people it government responsible for creating the disparityin the first place. [applause] >> what, what, what? government? some people are smarter than others, some have a silver spoon. >> look, there's certainly crony capitalism, but i don't doubt that in markets, some people prosper more income-wise. what i like to point out is that one of the grea benefits of free market is while it increases from time to time, income inequality, it decreases consumption inequality. rich people do notconsume much

more than poor people today. the difference between what poor people and rich people consume is shrinking ever, ever -- tey are getting closer. john: you brought a catalog along to make a point? >> yeah. the typical american worker then had to work 30 hours to buy this vacuum, and today, they ony work six hours t buy a better one. the poor are getting richer in america because of the innovative capitalism. [applause] i study history at eastern kentucky university, and i jt wanted to see what your personal opinion of bitcoin was. >> i'm all in favor of anything that competes with monpo central banks. [cheers and alause]

i hope it succeeds. john: have you bought some? >> i have not. [laughter] john: have you? i have. >> i'm dan, i go to community college and obamacare's first state of massachusetts, and i wonder if you guys believe there's, like,a better alternative to social spending such as food stamps and social security? >> the milton freed mapp had an idea, a neative income tax, basically, everybody has a granteed evel of income, and it wouldn't have the same distortions the current welfare system has if thisdiscourages work or marriage, for instance, an this vel would be set low enough that people don't grow dependent on it. [applause] >> i'm michael ashley, student at the university of delts. what do you think is 5 good outline or effective measure of creating a small government that stays small?

>> one idea proposed to keep government smaller is to link federal spending as a percentage of gdp with an actual rule, and congressman are held responsibl if they want to increase spending above historical norms. that's a good starting plce. >> another idea is to repeal five rules and pass one. [laughter] >> my name is ken williams, political science student at ohio university. in obamacare, ith -- how -- where there's a distrus theme for the insurance companies because they want to make a profit, that the solution to that is to andate the insurance companies. >> where the idea comes from, i don't know, it's a dumb idea. [laughter] [applause] insurance companies hav incentives to provide the right x of coverage at competitive

premiums, and obamacare mandates this and that coverage, that interferes with private choices. private choices that give rise to better policies in absence mandates. john: thank you, out of time for questions for this segment. thank you abby and john, and if you want to keep the conversation going, here's the twitter hash tag, isflc. i don't know how you remember that, but stands for international students for liberty conference, which is where we are. let people know what you think. coming up, what do you know about america's ounding documents? i'll give you and our student audience a quiz.

snot ♪ [cheers and applause] %-okay, college students, a quik p quiz. in the constitution and declaration of indepeence, and here it is together, how many times is the word "democracy" used? fewer than five times or five or more times. who says five o more times

here? who says fewer? all right. well, you guys are educated. i didn't know this. it neer mentioned the word democracyo you people should read this. it's not long. our constitution is shorter than the constitution from most other countrie do you want one of these? get it from the cato institute, cato.org on the web, they charge you five bucks for them, and we give them out free. question two, the constitutiin was prepared in secret behind closed doors guarded by centuries. is that true? who thinks it's true? this is true.

to learn more, we turn to someone who knows, tim, author of the conscious of the constitution. you went to a ollege where there was contempt for this. some white men, some slave holders, why should this be so important today? >> well the constitution of the united states is a promise abut how government power will be used, and it's a promise that was left to us by a generation who lived under tyrannical government and needed a frame work to preserve the blessings @% liberty for posterity, and we have to be grateful for that. john: but it's not relevant today. >> it's true, but the constitution's promise has been broken time and time again by our government but we are very fortunate we can at least point to it and say this is wha the frame work of our government was desisigned to do. secure the blessings of liberty.

that's the most important part? >> thars right. liberty is a blessing. it does not say the same thing about democracy or government in general. th constitution was written to protect liberty against government whether it be a democratic dporm of government or an other kind of governmt. john: but it also says ensure domestic tranquity. that could be speech codes, decency codes. it says promote he general welfare, obamacare, take care of people. >> but tht's only within the frame work of the liberty which the declaration says we are all born entitled to. the most impornt part of the constitution is its limitations, limitations on government. look at article 1 section 1, first sentence says "all legislative powers herein granted are vested in congress." people skip that thinking congress has all power to do whatever is a good idea. that's no what the costitution says, but says all powers listed

in the constitution are begin to the congress. if it's not inthe constitution, congress does not have the power to do that. john: but they do it all the time. >> that's true, they do. unfortunately, the elected officials have a huge incentive to do what they think is popular. john: and the supreme court, for the most part, has not symptommed them. >> the supreme court goes with joust overreaching, especially in the obamacare case. what happened was the supreme court said, well, the can't force people to buy things. now, that was, itself, actually a huge victory for individual freedom. can you imagine what would have happened if it came out the other way, if congress suddenly had the poweto force us to buy whatever politicians think we should have? the court said then, wll, but we're still going to uphold oba care because it's not the role of the courts to protect people from the political choices, and that's false. it is the role of theourts to enforce the constitution, which is a limt on political choices.

john: any supreme cou cases -- [applause] that you're happy with? >> there are. john: ick two. >> when i fell in love with the constitution in ninth grade and learned of the court's decision, tinker versus des moines school district, black arm bands protesting the vietnam war, and their teahers said not to do this, and they sued and sai we have a first amendment right to do this, and the supreme court ruled in their favor saying individual rights do not stop at the schoolhouse gate. when i read hat decision, i made my parents drive me to the county law library to photo copy the decision, the days before the internet, and i felt in that decision, i felt the constitution -- john: you were an d kid. >> i was a nerd. c you imagine? [laughter] i felt, when reading that discussion, i felt the constitution reach out and touch me and protect me and say my rights couldn't be taken away by

people telling me what to do. [apause] john: you also mention lawrence versus texas. >> a supreme court case from a ten years ago now, ithink, in which the supreme court said the government does not have the right toell us who we can sleep with. there was a texas law that mde it illegal for two adults of the same sex to go to bed together in the privacy of their own homes, and the supreme court rightly said that's obscene in a free country, and that is why i love the constitution bcause therare moments like thatwhen really helpless minorities and individuals who can't expect the legislative process to respect their rights, nevertheless have a shield in the form of the supreme court saying, no, this line is something that congress and the states cannot pass. [applause] john: questions for tim? >> i graduated from monthclaire

state university in new jersey. my queion is, if the constitution is the rule of law, the rulings for the government, and the government administers and enforces its own rules, how do we prevent them from breking their own rules? >> wel, that's a very good question. [alause] it's one that the founding fathers fought a lot about. in the federalist papers, james madison says in creating a government to protect people, it has to protect them from the government itself. now, patrick henry said at the ratification convention, no, no, it will not wonk, congress will do terrible things, madison said, have we then no virtue among us because if we have none, we are in a wretched position, no checks and balances protect us then. only the constitution has th meaning thatwe give it when we honor the promise, so, yes, the goverment h fallen aw and ignored that promise on many occasions, but it's there for us to enforce as we go forward. [applause]

>> i studied communications, and myuestion for you is what do you think i the best method to reverse the policies created by the surveillance state? >> i tnk the best method to reverse policiesis to elect new officials, but the best wayto ensure constitutional liberty is secured is to enforce the constitution meaning sue, sue, sue, and i mean that sort of sell officially because my profession is i sue the government for a living. it's -- [cheers and applause] [laughter] it's the greatest job in the world. it's the greatest job in the world, and i do o it for free. i don't charge my clients, and when you go to court and make your argument, and you insist, the cstitution says this, now it's up to yo judge, or you, court of appeals, oh you, u.s. supreme court, to follow what's written there. john: thank you, students, thank

you, tim, and later in he show, begin that most of your fellow students are left wingers, we'll have a debate about the best way to argue ith them, but next, this art exhibit, this picture of it, the sculpture of a sleepwalking man n his underwear is upsetting students at one college, and they demand it be removed. should it be? that's whe we comeback.

students are saying all kinds of stuff, but on campuses across the country, they are taking a risk b saying things. it's gotten so bad that students are actually going so far as to censor themselves or demand that things on their campus be censored because they might make them offended or uncomfortable. john: fire says 59% of higher education institutions have policies that infringe on our first amendment rights. >> well, a few years ago, it was 7 a. it's gotten better, but, unfortunately, we see these in policies all across the campus. john: you list the worst colleges for free speech, state university of new york, harvard, university of alabama. what did they do? >> well, this is a ridiculous case. we had a student, a journalism student writing a story for th school paper and hockey coaches, saying u how do you find your relations with the hockey coa to be, and don't worry, not everything you say has to be

well, this happens because we train stdents k-12 and into college to blieve that certain views are so abhor rid they can want be spoken. it had to do with stop and frsk policies and he came to give a speech what he knew would be a hostile audience nd agreed to take questions, but that was not good enough, and so these organized heck leers for 27 minutes disresistented the speech. he only got a few words out before iwent on, and for 27 minutes, he gave up a left. that is the very opposite of the environment we're supposed to have on college campuses. they were going to have a q&a session, and if nay octobed, they had the chance to prove him wrong, but they squandered that end dpaijing in that censorship. john: what's the deal with the sleepwalker statue? >> imposg a since of empathy,

john: talk about things like making birth cotrol available over the counter? >> abolutely. john: for blacks? end the drug war, allowing school choice, his hispanic e-verify, needing permission from a government data base forever hiring anybody. >> a story from y own persona life, ias a prohibitionist because it never occurred to me that police usd drug laws to gather arms sqad teams and burst down doors and carry people off to prison and disproportionally people who do not look like me. john: seems like a reasonable argument to me, julie, and you don't buy it? >> well, for me, the main component of libertarianism is individualism. maximize freedom for every individual. what i've noticed with the privileged crowd is it's very devicive, negative, and it's class warfare and jelousy. john june this "checkyour privilege" expression is a leftist college expression.

[applause] >> i don't like the term "check your privilege" because i read youtube comment and say the request check your privilege," but never say, oh, you make a good point, i'll check my privilege people get so defensive ove it, and rightfully so. they make a predetermined judgment about the person. it's downright rude. [applause] john: it's not nice to divide people in categori. we are all individuals. >> absolutely. unfortunatelily, the reality is that racism, sexism,homophobia, and tranphobiaexists. without acknowledging real inhibitors to individual liberty for certain identities, we are hampered in the ability to truly, as in my experience, advocate for them effectively.

[cheers and applause] john: as i lookhere, i see disproportional white men in ties, even bow ties. they look like the over class. i would think it's a turnoff. >> there's a lot of white men here. it has more to doowith libertarianism beinnerdy more than anything else t be honest with you. i'm a nerd myself, so i can say that. john: all right. this is allfood for thought. audience, i want to ask, whose argument is better? who is moe persuasive let's have a vote. who sides with julie, not argue by sex, race, and ethnic groups? heers and applause] john: who sides with kathy and says we should? [cheers and applause] john: fewer hantsdz, more noise. both good points. thank you, kathy, joule le, and thank you to all of you for attending "stossel u," that's
