ICE Raids, Trump’s Iran Gambit & the Rise of the Police State — Is America Still Free?
America is changing—fast. And not for the better.
From ICE operations in Minneapolis to Trump’s confrontations with Iran, from the Greenland debacle to trade wars, brain drain, and the politicization of science, this episode exposes how authoritarianism is creeping in from all sides—and why both Left and Right are fueling it.
Is the U.S. drifting toward Gestapo-style policing?
Are tariffs, immigration crackdowns, and nationalist theatrics destroying American prosperity?
And what happens to freedom when fear replaces objective law?
In this explosive live episode, Yaron Brook cuts through the hysteria to defend individual rights, capitalism, and reason—while taking on some of the most intense and emotional audience questions of the season.
👇 Watch. Share. And decide for yourself what kind of country you want to live in.
