This morning John Stossel was a guest on Fox and Friends. He and Gretchen both used one with no nicotine. It was a positive piece. Wish I could find a video of it.
00:53:24 We know with the new year comes new year's resolutions.
00:53:26 But if you didn't get around to one, don't worry.
00:53:30 The government has made a bunch of them for you.
00:53:32 >> Guess who is on top of this story.
00:53:34 That's the topic of tonight's episode of "stossel" starring john stossel.
00:53:39 John, does it bother you that resolutions are made at the highest level of this country?
00:53:43 >> Yes, the beauty of new year's resolutions is that they're about us.
00:53:46 We make them for ourselves.
00:53:48 We can obey them or not but government makes them for all of us and the press often calls them resolutions but I mean, think about it.
00:53:56 People don't resolve to tell other people what to do.
00:53:59 Imagine if they did.
00:54:00 Imagine the scene in your kitchen.
00:54:04 >> Listen, I resolve that you are going to quit eating fatty food.
00:54:08 >> Well, I resolve that you will go to the gym every morning.
00:54:11 >> Then I guess I resolve that you should give all your workers a 20% raise.
00:54:16 >> Then I resolve you will cook me dinner every night.
00:54:20 >> It wouldn't be good for their relationship.
00:54:22 >> In any real world or imagined world.
00:54:25 >> That's government and us and they keep trying -- they keep banning things.
00:54:28 One of the latest ones, they have these new e cigarettes supposed to help people quit smoking, the government says this is a nicotine delivery device.
00:54:37 Even if there's no smoke and it's much safer, some communities, some politicians are moving to ban these things.
00:54:43 >> So you were kind enough to give one of these to me the other day.
00:54:46 Now, the two that you and I are going to try, these have no nicotine in them, by the way, we're trying the flavored cigarette, right?
00:54:55 >> This is true.
00:54:55 But, you know, I'm not a smoker.
00:54:58 I don't like these but let people try stuff.
00:55:00 It's like -- you either quit or you die.
00:55:04 That's the philosophy of the politicians.
I'm a little confused. That video was posted two days ago, so was the show actually on January 4th? Elaine, was this video of what you saw this morning? The transcript doesn't match the video, so I thought they were different.
Oh, wait, the side bar on the video on his site says the full show is tonight at 9pm EST.
Something else I saw on this morning's show, and I just now tracked down the video for it. Enjoy.
Hulu - The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Whack-A-Gavel
Glad I saw this, I'll be sure to tune in to Fox Business tonight at 9!
I don't have a television. Can it be watched online?
