đź“ş July 14, 2025 | Yaron Brook Show | Bitcoin; Bonds; Tariffs; Dept of Ed; Ukraine; Asylum; Biotech & China
In this episode, Yaron Brook dives into a whirlwind of global and domestic issues shaping the future. He opens with the latest on Bitcoin’s evolving role in freedom and finance, and then examines the bond market and its warnings. The discussion sharpens around protectionist tariffs and the ongoing attacks on free trade, followed by sharp critiques of the Department of Education and the moral and strategic complexities in Ukraine. From there, Yaron addresses the U.S. asylum crisis and the risks of U.S.-China biotech cooperation, asking what policy rooted in rational self-interest would look like across these fields.
đź’¬ Live Q&A Highlights:
The audience brought thought-provoking questions, starting with a deep exploration of the cultural legacy of the Black Panther movement and its influence on music, individualism, and victimhood. Viewers asked if the solidarity fist is an inherently collectivist symbol, and whether Trump’s failures might realign the GOP toward a Libertarian future. Other questions spanned family inheritance dilemmas, California's regulatory double standards, the merits of capital gains tax reform, and whether traditional portfolio strategies still hold in a world with crypto, China risk, and economic nationalism. Yaron also fielded questions on John Stossel, Peter Schiff, Objectivist judges, just war vs. vengeance, and whether Bitcoin's latest innovations should shift the Objectivist view. Plus, quick takes on Trump, Israel, MAGA, Andrew Cuomo, and Ayn Rand’s personal advice on risk made for a dynamic and far-reaching exchange.
