**🔥 Gaza, Trade, and the Fight for Civilization**The Yaron Brook Show | July 27, 2025In this explosive episode, Yaron Brook opens with a **hard-hitting Gaza update** that cuts through the fog of propaganda. He exposes how Hamas weaponizes civilian suffering while the West—media, governments, and NGOs—rushes to play moral equalizer. Yaron defends Israel’s right to win decisively, and calls out the moral cowardice of those who treat self-defense and terrorism as morally equivalent.The conversation shifts to **Trade Deals**—and Yaron brings the fire. Forget the myths about “fair trade” and “protecting our industries.” He makes the case for *real* free trade as a matter of justice, innovation, and prosperity. In a world where politicians peddle protectionism to score cheap political points, Yaron calls it what it is: economic suicide.**💬 Live Q\&A: Thought-Provoking, Fiery, and Fun**Closing the episode, Yaron takes on a rapid-fire round of questions with his signature clarity and conviction. Why do so many people go from radical college leftists to disillusioned moderates? Can pursuing a hobby be altruistic? Is Russia's drone tech advantage a real threat to NATO? Is Rand unfairly branded a fascist for rejecting altruism? From Objectivism and natural disastersto tariffs, antisemitism, Christianity, and Trump voters flirting with fascism, Yaron doesn’t pull punches. Even heat stroke, Hulk Hogan, and light vs shadow make cameos.If you’re looking for intellectual fuel, moral clarity, and some philosophical firepower—you’re in the right place.---🎯 **Don't miss this one** if you're tired of watching history repeat itself—and want to understand why, and how to fight back.💬 Leave your thoughts in the comments—what topic should Yaron cover next?👍 Join the conversation and support future episodes.

Epstein; Tariffs; GM; Fed; Energy; Sugar; Cronyism; Russia; China; Fusion; AI |The Yaron Brook Show | July 22, 2025 In this packed and provocative episode, Yaron dives into the latest headlines—from the moral rot surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the cowardice of those in power, to the destructive resurgence of protectionism in the form of tariffs. He takes on General Motors and the growing web of corporate-state entanglement, lambasting the Federal Reserve for its continued economic manipulation. In segments on energy and sugar, Yaron exposes the deep-rooted cronyism distorting prices and crushing innovation—all while enriching the politically connected.The conversation then turns global, with sharp commentary on Russia’s aggression, China’s authoritarian ambitions, and the West’s philosophical disarmament in the face of both. Yaron explores the promise and peril of emerging technologies—like the bold (but dubious?) claims of nuclear fusion breakthroughs, and the race to harness AI without sacrificing individual rights and human purpose. Can the West still lead? Only if it reclaims its moral and philosophical foundations.**Live Questions:**In a dynamic and wide-ranging Q\&A, Yaron answers questions about the psychology behind public shaming and resentment, the loneliness epidemic, the relationship between logic and reason, and whether a love of money is virtuous. Viewers asked about favorite rockstars to resurrect (hello, Freddie Mercury), Kurosawa films, NYC boroughs, and even the ethics of eternal post-death consciousness. One question explored how proximity to people who refuse to truly *Live* can affect your own ability to thrive.

July 21, 2025 | Trump/WSJ; Abortion; Coldplay; Colbert; Equal Pay?; Insider Dealing; Japan | Yaron Brook ShowIn this wide-ranging and high-energy episode of *The Yaron Brook Show*, Yaron dives into a mix of headlines and cultural flashpoints. He kicks things off by dissecting the *Wall Street Journal*'s recent editorial stance on Donald Trump and exposes the dangers of the right’s increasing embrace of authoritarianism. From there, he shifts to a searing takedown of anti-abortion laws in America, highlighting their destructive moral and medical consequences. Yaron also reacts to the online mob attack over a couple’s display of affection at a Coldplay concert, critiques Stephen Colbert’s brand of smug progressive comedy, and unpacks the flawed rhetoric around “equal pay.” He then covers the real issue behind insider trading laws and takes a thoughtful look at Japan’s demographic and cultural stagnation.In the final portion, Yaron fields a barrage of live audience questions. Topics include whether pro-capitalist politicians like Milei are just the beginning of a global trend, the dangers of anti-abortion policies discouraging early medical care, and whether technological innovation can survive regulatory gatekeeping. He’s also asked about middle America's mythologizing, the political ironies of Coldplay concert criticism, and the tragedy of elderly crime in Japan. The audience also probes philosophical questions—on individual rights, metaphysical individualism, and whether Texas’ abortion laws should deter Objectivist organizing. Engaged and opinionated as always, Yaron delivers hard-hitting answers with clarity and conviction.Key Time Stamps:02:00 Trump/The Wall Street Journal11:40 Abortion30:40 Coldplay38:10 Colbert45:50 Equal Pay?51:30 Insider Dealing1:03:00 Japan1:08:10 Jubilee1:12:05 Upcoming Shows Schedule1:23:45 Live Questions🎯 **Don't miss this one** if you're tired of watching history repeat itself—and want to understand why, and how to fight back.👉 Join the conversation and support future episodes: [https://www.patreon.com/YaronBrookShow](https://www.patreon.com/YaronBrookShow)💬 Leave your thoughts in the comments—what topic should Yaron cover next?👍 Subscribe and turn on notifications to never miss a live show!

Drawing on insights from his latest book *False Dawn: The New Deal and the Promise of Recovery, 1933–1947*, Selgin exposes the flawed policy decisions, economic fallacies, and moral hazards that made the Depression worse—and offers an uncompromising evaluation of what should have been done instead.Topics include:What modern economists still get wrong about the Depression* Why the Federal Reserve's actions were a disaster* The role of tariffs, banking regulations, and New Deal interventions* How bond-collateral banking contributed to the crisis* The parallels between 20th-century panics and today's policy risks* The case for free banking and the controversies around fractional reserve🔴 **Live Questions & Audience Q\&A:**1:07:06 – What are common misconceptions about banking that drive you crazy?1:13:30 – Can you explain how bond-collateral banking worked and how it contributed to the Depression?1:25:36 – Why did the Depression last so long?

July 20, 2025 | *The Evil of Socialism — Why It Won’t Go Away* | The Yaron Brook Show Why does socialism—despite its history of death, destruction, and dysfunction—still seduce the minds of so many? In this fiery and insightful episode, Yaron Brook takes on the moral, psychological, and cultural roots of socialism’s enduring appeal. From the altruist ethics that make it seem noble to the intellectual cowardice that allows its ideas to persist, Yaron shows how and why socialism keeps returning in new disguises—and why we must reject it not just economically but philosophically.He explores how today's intellectuals and politicians repackage collectivism under the banners of "equity," "community," or "social housing," and reveals how even well-meaning advocates fall into the same traps that led past societies into ruin. It's not just about economics—it's about morality, values, and the fight for individualism against a rising cultural tide of self-sacrifice.🔴 Live Q\&A Highlights:In a dynamic and wide-ranging live Q\&A, Yaron tackles contributor questions including:* Could China or Asian nations outpace the U.S. in economic freedom—free of Christianity’s altruist baggage?* Are we drawn to brutal, zero-sum TV like *Squid Game* because it reflects how we perceive our collapsing culture?* Do today’s intellectuals feel responsible for preventing the return of Nazi-like ideologies?* Was Marx a philosophical parasite or a dark genius?* Is the left’s real goal not ending poverty—but spreading it universally?* Are free-market advocates evading the deep moral causes of socialism by focusing only on material failures?* Why do young Catholic socialists flirt with race-based authoritarianism—and is a new strain of Nazism brewing?* Did socialism give you food poisoning in Puerto Rico? (Yes, that’s a real question!)* Can cultural messages like “suffering is noble” be just as dangerous as explicit policy?* From sci-fi ideas to cribbage and card-playing ethics, the Q\&A blends political insights with fun, surprising tangents!🎯 **Don't miss this one** if you're tired of watching history repeat itself—and want to understand why, and how to fight back.👉 Join the conversation and support future episodes: [https://www.patreon.com/YaronBrookShow](https://www.patreon.com/YaronBrookShow)💬 Leave your thoughts in the comments—what topic should Yaron cover next?👍 Subscribe and turn on notifications to never miss a live show!
