Original Title: Assassin's Motive; TikTok; China; Nepal; EPA; London Demonstration; Puerto Rico | Yaron Brook Show September 15, 2025What drives an assassin—and what does it reveal about the state of our culture? On today’s Yaron Brook Show, Yaron cuts through the headlines: the assassin’s motive and its deeper meaning, TikTok and China’s influence, Nepal’s political mess, EPA overreach, protests in London, and Puerto Rico’s future. These aren’t just news items—they’re symptoms of a civilization at war with reason.The live audience brought the fire with some of the best questions yet: Gen Z listeners confessed that envy, nihilism, and hostility to reason dominate their peers—and that advocating Objectivism earns more hate than respect. Others pressed on whether Objectivism suffers from a charisma gap compared to Ayn Rand’s commanding presence, or whether the far left’s “words are violence” mantra contributes to real-world violence. It was debated whether a father turning in his assassin son is justice or betrayal, whether America’s endless government handouts are sustainable, and if history proves the Enlightenment always bounces back. Viewers also pushed Yaron on Charlie Kirk’s vest, secular mysticism, which Islamic countries are most pro-West, Trump’s raw appeal, Iran’s regime-survival despite mass disapproval, and even whether Ayn Rand really had a sense of humor.Key Time Stamps:2:08 Charlie Kirk assassination overview and suspect3:50 Motive theories: Speech as violence and radical ideologies5:24 Black-pilled groypers and nihilism10:43 Online radicalization and dark internet corners12:49 Defending free speech against offensive speech17:05 Corporations' role in societal conflicts and conspiracy theories18:13 Gen Z political perspectives27:09 TikTok situation and US-China negotiations34:15 China's economic struggles and BYD's stock plunge40:52 China's Great Wall Company leak and surveillance tactics43:32 Nepal's political unrest and Gen Z protests50:55 British anti-immigration demonstration and Christian nationalism1:00:05 US military activities in Puerto Rico1:02:24 Hyundai plant immigration raid Super Chat questions1:05:01 Objectivist community's charisma debate1:09:18 Speech's role in countering far-left rhetoric1:11:30 Government intervention in academia1:13:28 Fathers and justice for criminal children1:15:06 Critique of government handouts1:16:06 Endurance of Enlightenment ideas1:17:27 Charlie's bulletproof vest failure1:18:49 Secular mysticism explanation1:21:09 Pro-US Islamic countries in the Middle East1:23:06 Trump's appeal and psychological analysis1:24:50 Iranian surveys and regime change potential1:26:13 Ayn Rand's humor and taking life seriouslySee the [Comments](https://youtube.com/live/2Q_J1NVIRAU) for full questions👉 If you want clear, uncompromising analysis on politics, culture, and the battle of ideas—without tribal spin—this is your show.

Original Title:  Israel Attacks Qatar; Jobs; Murdoch; US Military; Mamdani; Ethiopia; Architecture | Yaron Brook Show  | September 9, 2025Israel hits Qatar. Jobs vanish. Murdoch bows out. The US military falters. Ethiopia burns. Mamdani misleads. And architecture—beauty or brutality?Israel escalates by striking Qatar, raising questions about strategy, morality, and the broader Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, the U.S. faces a mounting jobs crisis that exposes the failures of both Left and Right economic policies. Rupert Murdoch exits the stage, leaving behind a broken legacy in media and politics. The U.S. military continues its decline—bloated budgets but weakening strength—while intellectual frauds like Mahmood Mamdani spread poisonous anti-Western narratives. Ethiopia burns as tribalism and statism destroy yet another nation, and in the background looms a cultural battlefield over architecture: do we still build for human flourishing, or have we embraced an era of ugliness? Along the way, Yaron tackles big questions from the audience on Objectivism’s demands, stagflation, Trump’s decline, Florida’s property taxes, and whether individualism still stands a chance against the collectivist tide. This episode pulls no punches—expect clear, unapologetic truth.Key Time Stamps:03:55 Israel Attacks Qatar32:10 Jobs44:50 Murdoch48:20 US Military55:30 Mamdani1:04:00 Ethiopia1:08:50 ArchitectureLive Q&A Highlights:1:23:01 Is Objectivism too demanding? Many think it expects people to be unrealistically self-sufficient long-range thinkers, and that it’s cruel to expect what most can’t live up to. How do you respond?1:27:11 Left and Right policies look increasingly similar—doesn’t that give weight to “horseshoe theory”?1:31:32 Can you explain how stagflation actually happens?1:35:05 Do you expect America to fall into a “Dark Ages” collapse, or just stagnate in a mixed economy with no growth?1:38:03 Did the tech sector create huge wealth before politicians knew how to regulate it—and now uses that wealth to block regulation?1:42:10 Collectivists dominate elections on both Left and Right. Are individualists simply losing?1:42:39 In Star Trek, the Prime Directive bans giving advanced tech to barbaric societies. Is there wisdom in this idea? How dangerous is advanced knowledge in the wrong hands?1:44:29 Is it valid to cope with bad ideas by mocking them—“I laugh so I don’t cry”—or does that trivialize them?1:46:36 Do merely having “evil thoughts” make a person evil?1:47:15 Trump appears cognitively fading. Is he too old to cause major damage now?1:48:15 Can America’s institutions and courts actually stop Trump from going authoritarian—or are they failing?1:50:34 How will Israelis react if the war ends with hostages murdered?1:50:37 If Florida abolished property taxes, would it become the freest state in America? Would others follow—and would you retire there?1:53:09 Should I take a year off to travel, or is the career setback too big a risk?1:55:23 Thoughts on the famous Card & Krueger minimum wage study, and the later Dube, Lester & Reich study across state borders?1:59:02 Trump pushes for lower interest rates. Could his appointees be massaging economic data to pressure the Fed?1:59:49 Would you consider interviewing Mosab Hassan Yousef (“Son of Hamas”)?2:00:21 What’s your take on the Indonesian and Nepali protests?📌 📌 See comments for more [questions](https://youtube.com/live/8rJe1Rg4krw)👉 If you want unfiltered truth about politics, economics, and culture—without the tribal spin—this is the episode to [watch](https://youtube.com/live/8rJe1Rg4krw).💡 Expect sharp insights, unapologetic truths, and challenges to Left and Right alike.📌 Support the show and join the next AMA: [Patreon](Patreon.com/yaronbrookshow)  ❤️ Like, subscribe & share to spread reason and freedom!The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by:The Ayn Rand Institute  (https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein  (https://alexepstein.substack.com/)Express VPN (https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)Hendershott Wealth Management  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/Join this channel to get access to perks:     / @yaronbrook  Like what you hear?

Does a small minority seem right to you? And why aren’t more Objectivists happy?1:09:31 I read that the UCLA mathematician Terrence Tao is looking for funding for his department after Trump pulled federal funding. Is there any point in funding US universities when the federal government may take control? 1:11:13 Great Depression question; 'Triumph of Econ Freedom' blames the Fed for failing to act as a lender of last resort in '29. Why didn't a JP Morgan type step up in 29 as in 1907? Was this related to the creation of the Fed?1:15:26 What do you think of all the arrests in the UK for "bad" tweets"? Are there any tweets that the authorities should arrest people for?1:20:49 You recommended a Mike Ryan on Twitter the other day.

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?

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?

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?

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.🔴 Watch the full show here: https://youtube.com/live/sO2gYpIm9x8Key Topics:01:55 Google’s grip on speech11:05 Taxes & GDP myths20:15 Epstein revelations28:20 Drug War insanity33:45 Genocide: moral clarity or evasion?42:10 China’s parade of power59:00 Ukrainian drone warfarePlus, live questions on Objectivist activism, water privatization, cognitive egalitarianism, Gaza, the Norwegian oil fund, early retirement, Italian culture—and more.Live Questions:1:09:30 Do you think it's immature for Objectivists to be frustrated or impulsive about not being able to change the culture yet?

Should U.S. troops be deployed domestically? What does Trump’s declining health mean for the country? Can America’s obsession with “bringing back manufacturing” survive economic reality?

Plus, sharp live Q&A covering Atlas Shrugged, trade tribalism, Alaska’s decline, capitalism’s long struggle, and whether America today looks disturbingly like pre-Nazi Germany.Key Time Stamps:01:50 Equality05:30 US Space Command07:50 Department of War 11:25 Use of Troops18:45 Trump Health22:40 Manufacturing32:40 Tips39:40 Dissatisfaction1:03:50 Stock Market1:16:45 Charlie KirkLive Questions:1:30:57 Does anti-trade sentiment come from tribalism and fear of the other?

Do they want a tyranny? 1:06:38 Congress in my view is largely to blame for bringing us closer to authoritarianism. It takes them for ages to pass crazy laws and all they do is talk.
