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. As always, thoughtful, unscripted, and unapologetically rational.Key Time Stamps:05:00 Jeffrey Epstein10:15 Tariffs15:15 General Motors19:10 Federal Reserve27:00 Energy30:45 Sugar35:55 Cronyism44:20 Russia48:40 China53:40 Fusion1:03:00 AILive Questions begin at 1:08:18---

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

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.

https://youtu.be/9PCQRzAMohQ Podcast audio: As the Ayn Rand Institute marks its 40th anniversary, its mission to spread Objectivism through education has never been more urgent. In his 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference presentation, "Spreading Objectivism: A Vision for ARI's Future," President and CEO Tal Tsfany laid out a bold vision of the “big swings” ARI is taking to bring Objectivism into the cultural mainstream. At the heart of this expansion are major advances in ARI's educational offerings. Tsfany announced that ARI is ahead of schedule in pursuing accreditation for a Master of Arts in Objectivist Studies, aiming to become an accredited university by 2028. Meanwhile, the new ARI Live Courses program will offer quarterly classes at dramatically reduced prices. And a newly launched Intellectual Incubator will help students develop as intellectual entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, ARI is scaling its cultural outreach. The Books for Teachers program aims to distribute 500,000 books annually by 2026 utilizing a  streamlined ordering system. Supporting this outreach is a new AI-enabled Institute website launching this fall, which will provide personalized learning tracks for 750,000 annual visitors. To further Rand's vision of an alliance between businessmen and intellectuals, ARI launched the Atlas Circle, invitation-only intellectual retreats bringing together leading businessmen and Objectivist thinkers. The Circle's first publication, Profit Without Apology: The Need to Stand Up for Business, calls on productive businessmen to push back against moral vilification. ARI's crowning project will be the Ayn Rand Center in Austin, TX, opening September 2, 2028. In addition to improved archival storage for the Ayn Rand Archives, the center will feature a cutting-edge interactive introduction to Rand's novels, the Ayn Rand Immersive Experience. As Tsfany emphasized, these bold initiatives represent the unity of thought and action that Rand envisioned, scaled for our time. To learn more about ARI's efforts to fight for your values, watch Tal Tsfany's 2025 OCON talk.

I've loved your work for years! Just wondering—since you haven't done as many public debates lately, how do you keep your skills sharp? Do you still feel like you're growing? Thank you 1. Where will you answer this question so I can hear a response if possible. 2. Can you go into the classic concept of akrasia eg "weakness of will" and how our understanding of that concept has evolved with access to the fields of neuroscience, psychoanalysis, etc. With a particular focus on the topic of free will and how perhaps it is or isn't an outmoded concept. 3. Thank u Stefan MolyneuxDear Stef,Why is there something rather than nothing?additionally as a tangential question I will also ask so as not to present the first question in a biased framing:Why would there be nothing rather than something?Detective Molyneux on the case~
