Original Live Show Title: 🚨 August 22, 2025 | Everything is Not OK; Bolton; DC; Intel; Powell; Tariffs; Redistricting; Famine; | Yaron Brook Show
In this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron takes on the chaos of today’s headlines and digs beneath the surface:
-- Why everything is not OK—and why so few will admit it.
-- Bolton, DC, Intel, and Powell: what the latest political and market moves really mean.
-- Tariffs and redistricting: the real cost of bad economics and bad politics.
-- Global famine—what causes it, and why it’s preventable.
-- Tucker Carlson’s latest antics and the state of American discourse.
As always, Yaron brings unapologetic clarity to topics others dodge.

42:50 Powell
1:00:20 Tariffs

💬 Live Q&A includes unions, socialism’s appeal to youth, crime stats, immigration, housing policy, and even Rand on introspection.
Live Questions:
1:21:54 Generally speaking, why do unions harm non-union workers?
1:24:11 Does America have too many different types of ethnic minorities for us to morph into 1930’s Germany?
1:26:54 Have you seen Shawn Ryan's interview with Blake Scholl?
1:28:16 Rand: “A major source of men's earned guilt in regard to philosophy—as well as in regard to their own minds and lives—is failure of introspection.” Would you be as moralistic or has Christianity/Kant crippled man’s emotions?
1:30:04 Does the conceptual level always beat the perceptual level? Since Objectivists are on a higher plane of thought and moral clarity, will we inevitably overpower those who haven’t put the effort to reach our abstract plane?
1:31:23 My son cites NYT article titled “No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole UN Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say.” What credible evidence exists that Hamas did systematically steal UN food?
1:35:54 Why are the youth sold on various flavors of socialism, and how do we reverse that?
1:36:50 Can you talk about goal setting sometime?
1:37:48 How’s the deregulation coming along?
1:38:27 You often cite that violent crime is down, it is! But, compared to other nations like Japan, UK, Germany, etc we have a long way to go. Solution?
1:40:13 Thoughts on "Trump administration will begin reviewing all 55 million US visa holders (i.e. legal immigrants)"?
1:41:21 How would Cortlandt homes rent at the lowest price?
1:41:48 Did Roark ever have GF after Dom. married Wynand?
1:42:10 Re: Vance saying that he will “be quiet as long as Zellinsky behaves”, I guess Vance didn’t want to appear to be standing down. Have you ever seen such undignified immaturity as by the current leadership?
1:42:51 Are tariffs on X a way of destroying sales of X?
1:43:10 Banishing every “illegal” immigrant will do what exactly to make all these MAGA losers lives better?
1:43:42 Is it theoretically possible that Troy Beaton and Dave Dean have contributed more super chat $$ than me? Is this a good sign for our movement?
