Being a "Jew"; Susie Wiles; WMD; Heng Guan; Good News | Yaron Brook Show
Identity, Power, and Irrationality: From “Being a Jew” to WMDs, Trumpism, and the Fight for Reason
What does it mean to be a “Jew” in a world collapsing into tribalism? Why are Western elites paralyzed in the face of evil—from WMDs to Islamist terror—while irrational populism rises at home?
In this wide-ranging and unscripted live episode, Yaron Brook takes on identity, antisemitism, foreign policy realignment, Trumpism, Christian nationalism, Russia, Iran, hate-speech laws, and the philosophical roots of today’s cultural breakdown—plus surprising moments of good news, Beethoven, and why principles matter more than rules.
This is not punditry. It’s a philosophical diagnosis of a civilization under siege—and what reason demands next.
