He critiques NPR’s ideological slant and funding model, and addresses the dangerous politicization of the legal system in the U.S. under what he calls “lawfare.” Brook provides sharp commentary on the escalating geopolitical tensions involving Israel, Russia, and China, and closes with an unexpected but thought-provoking segment on the ethics of MRI brain scans and the future of medical innovation.During the live Q\&A, Yaron takes on a barrage of challenging and eclectic questions from viewers. He tackles deep ethical and political issues, including the historical role of unions, child labor under capitalism, safety disclosures by companies, and the morality of police intervention in protests. He fields philosophical questions about the nature of reality (via a *Matrix*-style thought experiment), the appeal of altruism, and the sustainability of the MAGA movement. Other topics include saving vs. spending, Ayn Rand’s controversial comments on female presidents, environmentalism and invasive species, patents in gaming, and the role of benevolence in rationality.

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.

Conversation W/Norbert Michel -- How Stagnation Narrative is Threatening the American Dream | YBS
📺 Yaron Brook Show | July 14, 2025 | Title: Conversation w/ Norbert Michel — How the Stagnation Narrative is Threatening the American DreamIn this illuminating conversation, Yaron Brook is joined by Norbert J. Michel, one of the sharpest minds in financial policy, to explore the myth of America’s economic stagnation and its dangerous cultural implications. Drawing from his forthcoming book, Crushing Capitalism, Michel unpacks how false narratives about inequality and economic decline are fueling populist resentment and undermining belief in the American Dream. Together, they take a deep dive into monetary policy, the role of innovation, and the historical resilience of U.S. financial markets. This is a must-watch for anyone concerned about capitalism’s future and how to fight back against the cultural and policy trends that threaten it.About Norbert J. Michel:Norbert J. Michel is vice president and director of the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives, where he leads a team of scholars focused on advancing freedom through better financial regulation and sound monetary policy. He is the author of the upcoming book Crushing Capitalism: How the Stagnation Narrative is Threatening the American Dream, and coauthor of Financing Opportunity: How Financial Markets Have Fueled American Prosperity for More than Two Centuries. Michel has an extensive background in both academia and policy, having served as Director for Data Analysis at the Heritage Foundation and as a tenured finance professor at Nicholls State University. His work includes critiques of Dodd-Frank and contributions to smarter financial regulation. Michel holds a PhD in financial economics from the University of New Orleans and a BBA in finance and economics from Loyola University.📚 Crushing Capitalism on AmazonLive Q&A Highlights:The audience jumped in with wide-ranging and thought-provoking questions: Is the current stock market boom a result of deregulation? What will happen to developing nations if AI replaces sweatshop labor? Does the middle class's shrinking size mean decline, even if more are moving upward? Other questions explored the competitive role of traditional banks, how to combat the “China will pay” tariff narrative, and whether governments should avoid collecting economic data to prevent political misuse. There was also curiosity about Argentina’s Milei, and how to handle the resentment of those left behind in a rising economy. A rich and nuanced discussion you won’t want to miss.📌 Tune in now for sharp analysis and bold ideas! 👉 Subscribe for more content that challenges the status quo.

🎙️ Yaron Brook Show | July 9, 2025 — Vance, ICE, IRS, Gaza, AI & MoreIn this packed episode, Yaron Brook takes on the latest political absurdities and ideological trends, from JD Vance’s nationalist posturing and ICE's expanding overreach to the IRS’s abuse of power and the dangers of growing regulation. He breaks down the recent moves by Twitter and Google, gives a hard-hitting take on the Gaza situation and Houthi attacks, and explores the chilling news out of Russia. Plus, reflections on climate fearmongering, the state of tech innovation, and what it would really take to eliminate useless regulations.📣 Audience Q&A Recap:The live Superchat brought a whirlwind of thought-provoking questions. Yaron tackled Japan's economic malaise, the possibility of capitalism’s collapse in the West, and whether drug legalization is compatible with a welfare state. Viewers asked about Epstein, OCON logistics, the rise of AI and Nvidia, and why evasion persists in an info-rich world. There was a mini-psych deep dive—narcissism, repression, serial killers—and a spirited debate about JD Vance’s ideology, Javier Milei’s radical reforms, and the moral bankruptcy of Trump’s Nobel nomination. As always, the chat was packed with humor, sharp insights, and a love for reason and freedom.Key Time Stamps:02:20 Vance36:30 ICE47:25 IRS51:10 Twitter57:15 Google1:02:15 Gaza1:14:30 Houtis1:17:30 Russia Windows1:22:40 Crazy 21:31:05 Weather 1:35:45 Eliminating RegulationsLive Questions:1:44:16 What reforms does Japan need to implement to get its economy going again?1:48:58 Can you, or do you foresee a scenario where capitalism in the west is abolished completely? 1:50:48 Isn’t drug legalization only viable if the welfare state is rolled back?

However, tech has given us massive access to information and humans seem to amp up their evasion to new heights.

🎙️ July 9, 2025 | J.Epstein; Floods; Tariffs; TSA; Crazy Prof; Tucker; Ukraine; Milei | Yaron Brook ShowIn this jam-packed episode, Yaron Brook takes on a whirlwind of topics dominating the headlines and lurking under the surface. He opens with a sharp analysis of the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga and what the latest developments reveal about power, corruption, and media failure. From there, he tackles the devastating floods and the predictable politicization of climate narratives. Then comes a deep dive into tariffs—why protectionism is once again rearing its ugly head and how it harms the very people it claims to help. The TSA gets a well-deserved roasting, a deranged professor goes viral for all the wrong reasons, and Tucker Carlson's latest antics get the Yaron treatment. Other key segments include an update on the rebuilding challenges in America, the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, and a look at Javier Milei’s bold moves in Argentina.💬 Live Q&A Recap:The audience came alive with wide-ranging questions—from aesthetics to economics, psychology to politics. Yaron discussed the Objectivist view of Art Deco and why the style resonates with themes in Ayn Rand’s novels. He differentiated ideas from emotions, weighed in on the psychology of fear vs. anger, and responded to whether altruism primes people for abuse. There was thoughtful commentary on ICE’s massive budget hike, the regulatory crush on business in California, and whether “narcissistic altruism” is a real thing. Questions also touched on Trump’s emotional maturity, the charisma of political leaders like Milei, and whether figures like Biden or Harris would have supported Israel’s military moves. It was a lively, philosophical, and idea-rich discussion you won’t want to miss.Key Time Stamps:00:00 Intro01:30 J.Epstein13:55 Floods17:35 Tariffs45:33 TSA51:10 Crazy Professor1:03:03 Tucker1:07:15 Building1:09:40 Ukraine 1:15:55 Milei1:35:05 Live Questions👀 Watch now for a principled, uncompromising perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.👉 Like, subscribe, and support the show to keep principled commentary like this alive!
