Yaron Brook Show

🚨 August 14, 2025 | PPI; FDA; Arms Embargo; Toronto Film; China Model; Hyperloop?; Super Babies | Yaron Brook Show From the latest inflation shock in the Producer Price Index to the FDA’s creeping paternalism, Yaron Brook dives into the economic, political, and cultural headlines shaping the future. He takes aim at the folly of arms embargoes, the propaganda-laden “China model,” and the hollow promise of Hyperloop mania. Plus—what’s behind the Toronto film scene’s latest implosion? And what exactly does “super babies” mean for the ethics of bio-enhancement? Expect sharp analysis, uncompromising principles, and more than a few challenges to conventional wisdom. Live Q&A Highlights: Viewers brought powerful, thought-provoking questions—from the moral tightrope of reconciling Israel’s strategic aims with the tragic human cost in Gaza, to the personal ethics of confronting a cheating colleague. Yaron explored Milei’s messaging in Argentina, the long-term outlook for principled free-market politics, and whether your next move matters more than your last mistake. Other questions tackled Trump’s interference with the Smithsonian, whether buying from communist regimes is morally defensible, the value of walking through Rand’s essays, and who today’s greatest minds and leaders might be. The conversation was candid, challenging, and, at times, deeply personal—capping off a show that combined big-picture analysis with real-world moral dilemmas. 📺 [Watch now](https://youtube.com/live/nMryS9_f-J0) 👉 Subscribe to the channel and join us live next time:    / @yaronbrookshow   🔔 Hit the bell to get notified for the next livestream! 💥 Expect controversy.

🚨 August 13, 2025 | Export Tax; Goldman; Putin/Trump; Tariffs; High Rents; Post-Modern; Super Babies | Yaron Brook Show In this *no-holds-barred* August 13, 2025 edition of the **Yaron Brook Show**, Yaron rips into the latest assaults on free markets and individual liberty. From Washington’s dangerous new export tax to Wall Street maneuvering at Goldman, from Trump’s flirtations with Putin to the bipartisan love affair with tariffs—nothing escapes scrutiny. He exposes how government overspending fuels your rent nightmare, why post-modern philosophy is rotting our culture from the inside, and what “super babies” reveal about the future of human potential. 🔥 **Live Q\&A sparks even deeper debate:** the meaning behind the Statue of Liberty’s famous poem, MAGA’s Marxist drift, why only philosophy can cure cultural disorientation, the selfish case for aiding Ukraine, GDP spending for legitimate government, the morality of choice, WWII’s Vichy French, zoning laws strangling housing innovation, power-luster politics, Argentina’s economy, the art scene in Prague, Amsterdam travel tips, and whether the Left & Right are both sliding toward fascism. 💥 Buckle up—this is Yaron in full battle mode. 📺 [Watch now](https://youtube.com/live/iI0xmJLl7eU)  Key Time Stamps: 01:20 Export Tax 13:45 Goldman Sachs 22:10 Putin/Trump 27:50 Tariffs 44:05 Government Spending 47:40 High Rents 56:00 Post-Modern Live Questions: 1:26:01 - What do you think of the poem “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus on the Statue of Liberty? “Give me your, your poor, your huddled masses yearning breathe free.” 1:28:12 Did you see the piece in Fortune by a bunch of ex CEOs titled "Is MAGA going Marxist and Maoist? Trump’s assault on free-market capitalism"?  1:33:08 This is Woodstock week -- ever attend big rock festivals?  Also, shouldn't ARI be in a state like NH instead of CA? 1:36:17 Why is it selfish for US to support Ukraine war? 1:38:29 Given that the government’s legitimate function is the protection of individual rights, what percentage of GDP should be allocated to fund it? 1:40:34 Do you think those who advocate against body autonomy (anti-choice) for women, are morally consistent when advocating against vaccination science (anti-choice) for everyone; both being anti-life for individuals? 1:43:08 Can you explain who were the "Vichy French" during WW2? 1:44:38 I feel there should be an easier way for people to pool money to build a condo complex with individually owned units, but zoning seems geared toward rental only developments. Should/could that change? 1:46:21 How is the art scene in Prague? 1:47:26 is Argentina's economy improving or booming? 1:49:40 At Woodstock, Hendrix got paid; most other bands did not. That's because the giant crowd forced promoters to make it a free concert. Rock + socialism? 1:50:53 I'm going to be in Amsterdam, what should I see there? 1:52:47 I think the Left and Right are becoming Fascist.

🚨 August 12, 2025| Putin/Trump; BLS; Intel; Fuel-Econ; Bernie Sanders; Antisemitism | Yaron Brook Show Putin’s power play, Trump’s pivot, Bernie’s blunders, and the bureaucratic rot in America’s stats machine. From the BLS’s cooked numbers to Intel’s future, from fuel-economy myths to the latest wave of antisemitism—Yaron takes the gloves off. Plus: why New Rochelle beats the housing crisis, why the EU fears a victorious Russia, and how America’s political class keeps selling out to power. 📍 Timestamps: 01:15 – Putin/Trump showdown 19:35 – Bureau of Labor Statistics: lies, damn lies, and data 35:45 – Intel and the innovation race 45:05 – Fuel-Economy fakery 50:40 – Bernie Sanders: economic vandal 58:30 – Antisemitism on the rise 1:11:50 – Upcoming Shows Schedule Live Questions: 1:16:36 It seemed that Trump was leaning away from Putin a few weeks ago. What changed? Putin must have played a card under the table no? 1:20:39 Let’s assume Ukraine surrenders: what do you thinking are Russia’s next plans? How do you think the EU reacts? 1:28:38 Can Ukraine sustain the battle and win with just European support? 1:29:13 What would Ukraine winning, look like in reality? 1:36:04 Do you think Bush Jr and Cheney purposefully lied about WMDs in Iraq? Or was it an intelligence failure?  1:37:18 What are your thoughts on the UK’s online safety act? 1:38:50 If we fail to convince someone of Objectivism, is it their problem or our problem? 1:39:22 Is Trumps plan to allow for more deregulation so there are more productive companies he can shake down and extort? 1:40:10 Will the new leftist strategy no longer be Woke, but class consciousness like Mamdani? 1:41:11 Instead of Sov wealth fund, could a regular corporation with lots of individual investors get into infrastructure and utilities and give dividends? 🔗 See pinned comment for timestamps of additional questions 📺 Watch now:  https://youtube.com/live/iI0xmJLl7eU  👉 Subscribe to the channel and join us live next time:    / @yaronbrookshow   🔔 Hit the bell to get notified for the next livestream! 💥 Expect controversy.

🚨 August 11, 2025|  | DC takeover; Export Tax; "Journalist" Killed; CDC; Gay Marriage; Rare earth; UBI | Yaron Brook Show Washington’s Power Grab, Media Lies, and the Rise of State Capitalism: From a shocking D.C. takeover to dangerous new export taxes, Yaron dives into the latest threats to freedom and prosperity. He unpacks the killing of a so-called “journalist,” the CDC’s overreach, the fight over gay marriage, the geopolitics of rare earths, and why UBI could be economic poison. Along the way, Yaron answers your toughest live questions—on immigration crackdowns, the threat of dictatorship in the U.S. vs. the EU, the moral bankruptcy of both leftist and right-wing authoritarianism, free speech under fire, whether Ayn Rand prevented an even darker world, and more. If you care about capitalism, free speech, and the future of liberty, this is one you don’t want to miss. Key Time Stamps: 01:10 Lisbon Reflections 02:15 Upcoming Shows Schedule 03:00 DC takeover 24:30 Export Tax 46:30 "Journalist" Killed 59:25 CDC 1:01:55 Gay Marriage 1:05:05 Rare earth 1:10:10 UBI Live Questions: 1:28:34 I am troubled by the last two episodes of My Country. The hero, who saved his old friend who had betrayed him so often, seemed altruistic and unjustified to me. Thoughts? 1:33:07 Did you see ICE agents tearing up that Mexican restaurant? 1:36:41 Emergency on immigration, in LA & now in Washington. I think we are witnessing the downfall of America & descend to authoritarianism. As a prediction would you think EU or US is more likely to see a dictatorship first? 1:41:30 Is it possible humanity wipes itself out before Objectivism takes hold? 1:41:55 Is Putin a nihilist or a power lusting mystic? 1:42:22 Is anti-semtism worse today than anti-black racism? 1:43:08 Should jury duty be mandatory? 1:44:12 One of the arguments against allowing the Nazi's to march in Skoki was "They don't have a right to try and persuade other people to throw me in an oven". Is this legitimate? 1:49:49 If Hitler had invaded England instead of Russia, could he have won the war? 1:51:40 I was listening to Andy Bernstein complain about the left, and he kept saying they are all Marxists. Wouldn't the mainstream modern left be more postmodern/Rawlsian egalitarians rather than Marxist? 1:55:47 Does JD Vance deserve any credit for shaming Europeans over their free speech restrictions? 1:57:22 WSJ headline— The U.S. Marches Toward State Capitalism With American Characteristics. Is that deliberate perversion (Banner) or just misunderstood? 1:59:26 Any good economic history books in favor of capitalism?  2:01:27 See pinned comment for timestamps of additional questions 📺 Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/OtF8IoS 👉 Subscribe to the channel and join us live next time:    / @yaronbrookshow   🔔 Hit the bell to get notified for the next livestream! 💥 Expect controversy.

🚨 August 8, 2025|  | Privatizing America’s Mortgage Giants, The Fed’s New Power Game, Crypto Mania, and the West’s Blind Spots on Israel & Ukraine | Yaron Brook Show 🚨Yaron Brook takes on the week’s most explosive issues: the case for fully privatizing Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (and why both parties fear it), the dangerous politics of picking Federal Reserve leaders, and the wild speculation and fraud infecting the crypto space. From Israel’s lonely fight for moral clarity to the Ukraine War’s brutal cost-benefit reality, Yaron exposes the philosophical and political fault lines the media refuses to touch. Plus: an Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal you didn’t hear about, the GOP’s IRS games, and the deeper reason Europeans can’t stomach Israel’s existence. In the live Q&A, Yaron tackles rights for dementia patients and people in comas, Bitcoin vs. T-Bills, the win-lose nature of investing, disturbing echoes between Hitler and Trump’s rhetoric, Germany’s dangerous free speech “fix,” and whether clever AIs deserve rights. It’s sharp, it’s uncompromising, and it’s a masterclass in moral clarity over political fog. 📍 Key Segments: 02:05 Privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 14:40 Fed Picks 23:55 Crypto Crazy 43:25 Israel/World 53:00 Ukraine War 1:00:35 Azerbaijan and Armenia peace deal 1:04:30 January 6 1:06:00 Media 1:15:40 Lisbon Live Questions: 1:21:35 Children have rights because they have the potential to develop reason. But how does this apply to dementia patience, people in comas? There are a class of humans that will never regain or develop the use of reason, why are rights extended to them? 1:25:29 If bitcoin becomes a national currency in America, does it then compete with T-Bills? 1:27:28 Is every stock/bitcoin investment a venture towards a win-lose outcome, where the investor hopes to profit within the cloud of financial potential/chaos? 1:30:46 What is it in the European’s philosophy that makes them so galled and animated by Israel?  1:32:48 Trump just fired the head of the IRS. Is this a signal to encourage more tax evasion? Is the GOP trying to make it harder for the IRS to operate? 1:33:54 Even without Rand, doesn't humanity gradually learn to be more reasonable and less violent?  1:34:53 Did you know there is a Basque community in Boise, ID?  1:36:15 Is it worth for Putin to lose all the huge benefits of trade with the Western world over 15% of Ukraine? Won't Russians hate him for this for decades? 1:38:33 is Milei privatizing water to the Israeli government owned company called Mekorot? if so, is that bad? also, do you think he'll win reelection? 1:39:46 Thank you for the .com comparison. Apt. 1:39:54 How Objectivism will consider really clever AIs (AGI)? They would poses reason, which makes them like us humans, but can we consider them a life form? 🔗 Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/XVK7kAz1L_E 👉 Subscribe to the channel and join us live next time:    / @yaronbrookshow   🔔 Hit the bell to get notified for the next livestream! 💥 Expect controversy.
