Original Show Title: Tariff Lies; Xi, Modi, Putin; Tourism; Chinese Visas; DC; Min Wage; UK Asylum | Yaron Brook Show | September 1, 2025
Are 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 Reflections
04:55 Tariff Lies
38:35 Xi
39:35 Modi
47:40 Tourism
51:45 Chinese Visas
56:30 DC
1:02:45 Min Wage

Live 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?
