They want to be animals? Being a human being is too hard?1:19:04 Do you think people can actually suffer from TDS? Is it not an anti-concept?1:21:07 Have you ever been to Iceland? Thoughts? Could we theoretically get enough Objectivist to invade it in the next 20 years due to their unsuspecting nature?1:22:59 How's the Thatcher show prep going? Or did your forget again?

In which Robert & Amy discuss what YOU MUST DO in light of current events. Political (and non-political) violence, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of choice. Grace and the late Charlie Kirk. Freedom, responsibility, risk-tolerance, and vulnerability, versus living in a cage. Why our relative safety gives rise to dystopianism and other (ironic) comfort beliefs. The answer to Yaron Brook's (and everyone else's) question, "what are we to do about it all?"

Original Title:  Milei; Jobs Report; Tech CEOs & Trump; Hawley & AI; Immigration; Drug War; Musk | Yaron Brook Show  | September 5, 2025Why are “pro-capitalist” CEOs kneeling to Trump? Why is Hawley using AI as a new excuse for government control? Why do politicians lie about jobs, immigration, and the drug war? And what does Milei's battle in Argentina tell us about freedom's future?Key Time Stamps:01:35 Milei06:30 Jobs Report15:55 Tech CEOs & Trump27:45 Musk34:30 Hawley & AI40:35 Immigration46:10 Drug WarLive Questions:56:26 Is being passive-aggressive a sign of moral cowardice? 59:55 I'm planning my 1st ever trip to South America! Which cities are a 'must-do'? When I talk about Rio, friends give dire warnings on security. Is it so bad that I should stay away from Rio on my trip?1:03:55 Are you surprised that American businessmen are kneeling to politicians in the year 2025, or does it make sense given the philosophy in the culture?1:05:00 Your comments about the intensification of the Drug War sparked this question: why does the violation of a right beget further violation of rights?1:06:54 Have you ever explored England outside of London? 1:09:55 Is this the modern mixed economy model? Have a few cities where all the wealth and innovation occur, and everyone else in the country lives on benefits?1:10:46 All government attempts to redistribute wealth and income smother productive incentives and lead toward general impoverishment.1:11:09 You really believe the guy making $50k a year can be as happy as the guy making $500k a year?1:15:33 What motivated LP to write DIM? What was he observing in the culture to make him want to put in writing these predictions when things were looking pretty good 15 years ago, when he began writing?1:18:35 What would you do in that situation? How would you deal with Trump as the CEO of a company, knowing he would want to associate with you?1:19:28 Could ARI produce a movie or documentary about Objectivism?1:20:56 This makes a Christian-altruist society very uncomfortable, but isn't the truth that sometimes the strong have to use force against the weak if it's in retaliation for aggression?1:22:06 Is there any hope left for Taiwan? Do you think the world is ready to have TSMC in the hands of the CCP?1:23:13 Aside from health and family issues, I have trouble understanding unhappy wealthy people. Is it value-related? Lack of goals to use the money?1:25:23 We could use a reverse DIM that identifies and celebrates the causes of the Enlightenment. Is there a book out there that does that?

Original Live Title RFK & Miran at Senate; FL Vaccine Mandates; Abortion Pill; Tariffs &Deportation | Yaron Brook Show | September 4, 2025When politics descends into a circus, who's really paying the price? From RFK's Senate drama and Miran's grandstanding to Florida's authoritarian vaccine mandates, America's culture wars rage on. Add in the Left/Right battle over the abortion pill, Trumpian tariff lies, and calls for mass deportation—and you get the perfect storm of bad ideas.Yaron Brook slices through the noise with unapologetic clarity, exposing the irrationality, tribalism, and dangers behind today's politics. Neither Left nor Right escapes critique—because freedom, reason, and individual rights demand honesty.Key Time Stamps:01:15 Free Press07:05 National Conservatism Conference37:05 RFK43:20 Miran45:45 FL Vaccine Mandates49:20 Abortion Pill54:50 Tariffs56:30 Deportation1:00:00 Announcement https://randsdaycon.thebvh.com/Live Questions:1:11:47 Another interesting thing about Rand was that she frequently thought of and identified the motives behind ideas and actions without resorting to psychoanalyzing. Do you think that's difficult to do? What are your thoughts on how to do it?1:13:31 How do you objectively assign a weight to your gut feelings? 1:18:09 Even if you're healthy, is it possible to be consistently happy if you're not wealthy?1:20:51 With Trump everything is horrible, a disgrace, a Hellhole, etc., unless he's responsible for it. I'm highlighting his negativity and malevolence. Do you think that's correlated with skepticism/cynicism?1:22:06 Why do some grow up trying to think in principles despite their education, and others don't?1:23:52 Does the Left have more respect for human rights than the Right? Respect for due process and humane treatment of detainees and prisoners?1:25:46 On yesterday's show, you said: "Ayn Rand didn't convince that many people, but maybe she convinced the most important people". What did you mean by that?1:27:10 When Tom Snyder asked Rand what she meant by selfishness, she referenced self-esteem, and that one should “respect one's mind”. What does respecting one's mind entail?1:29:08 When a crony politician is accused of acting in "self-interest" against the "interest" of the people, what's a better term than "self-interest"?1:30:37 When evaluating selfishness, are people not so much put off by the idea of you pursuing your values and achieving your happiness, but a perceived ugliness of not caring about others?1:32:20 Could hospitals now say, “Want to deliver your baby at Hospital A, B, or C? You must get these specific vaccines for our NICU ward's protection.” ?1:32:50 If the S&P500 booms 4k points after the tariffs are shut down, would Trump reconsider tariffs? Or is he too deep into mercantilism to think otherwise?1:34:00 Are you planning on becoming a genocide scholar?

Original Live Show Title: Google; Taxes & GDP; Epstein; Drug War; Genocide; China Parade: Ukrainian Drones | Yaron Brook Show  | September 3, 2025Big Tech, taxes, Epstein's shadow, the drug war, genocide, China's military pageantry, and Ukrainian drone warfare—this episode rips into the moral and political fault lines of our age. Yaron Brook doesn't just cover the news, he dissects the lies behind it: how governments distort GDP, how intellectual rot fuels cognitive egalitarianism, why both left and right collude to keep Epstein's truth buried, and what today's wars reveal about morality, technology, and freedom.

Original Show Title: Tariff Lies; Xi, Modi, Putin; Tourism; Chinese Visas; DC; Min Wage; UK Asylum | Yaron Brook Show | September 1, 2025Are tariffs “protecting” American jobs—or just ripping you off? Yaron tears apart the myths and exposes the real victims of tariff lies. From Xi's authoritarian grip to Modi's nationalist illusions and Putin's thuggery, the show dives into the strongmen shaping global politics.Yaron will also tackle the decline of tourism, the mess of Chinese visas, the swamp of DC politics, and the economic insanity of minimum wage hikes. Across the Atlantic, the UK asylum crisis reveals the moral collapse of Western immigration policies.Plus, a fiery Q&A on crime stats, Trump's tariff obsession, Rand's cultural impact, drones vs. tanks, why Americans have AC but Europeans don't—and the deeper question of whether fear of independence defines today's culture.Key Time Stamps:02:35 Florence Reflections04:55 Tariff Lies38:35 Xi39:35 Modi47:40 Tourism51:45 Chinese Visas56:30 DC1:02:45 Min Wage1:08:35 UK AsylumLive Questions:1:37:58 What are the most positive trends in the world today? What gives you greatest cause for optimism?1:44:52 What if somebody told Trump that his chances of getting the Nobel Prize would dramatically increase if he eliminated all tariffs?1:46:14  Will we see capitalism in our lifetime?1:46:51 Is looking at how many hours a person must work to afford an item a better way of looking at prices today, compared to prices in the past?1:50:56 Back to the issue of maturity, how do you explain the phenomenon of the degree of immaturity of the Trump administration?1:54:37 Rand diagnosed most people as having a fear of independence. Whatever one feels about being independent, one's metaphysical independence is a biological fact. Why would one form a fear of acknowledging that fact of nature?1:56:22 Are drones making armored fighting vehicles obsolete?1:59:09 Would you agree that to learn, an individual has to revise a previously held belief (accept that being wrong is a path to learning), and/or... accept being ignorant about some topic/information, and [honestly] learn from a position of ignorance?2:05:51 Is it really fair to say all the smart people are in Blue cities? Is it because of current Democrat policies or relics of times past?2:08:55 See pinned comment for timestamps of additional questions
