🎙️ Yaron Brook Show – June 25, 2025 a Live BroadcastIn this episode, Yaron Brook dives into the rising influence of socialism in New York City and beyond, examining its ideological roots and real-world consequences. He explains how the growing appeal of socialism—particularly among young people—is not simply a matter of economics, but fundamentally a moral issue. Decades of education steeped in altruism and anti-capitalist narratives have primed a generation to view profit, self-interest, and markets as immoral, and redistribution as virtuous.Brook also reflects on the lessons from Israel’s decisive military victory over Iran. The war, he argues, showcases the stark contrast between a free, rational, innovation-driven society and a totalitarian, mystical regime. Israel’s success serves as a powerful illustration of what a technologically advanced and morally confident free nation can accomplish when it acts decisively in self-defense.The conversation continues with an analysis of New York City’s shifting political landscape, where self-proclaimed socialists are gaining ground in local elections. Brook warns that this is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a nationwide trend fueled by philosophical and cultural decay.Additional commentary touches on NATO’s evolving role and the ongoing debate around tariffs, with Brook reiterating the importance of free trade as a pillar of peace and prosperity.A wide-ranging and philosophically grounded episode that connects the dots between global conflicts, local politics, and the moral ideas shaping both.📌 Don’t miss this urgent and principled episode—a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the deeper meaning behind the headlines.

🎙 Iran War Update; NATO; Land Sales; Fred Smith | Yaron Brook ShowIn the June 23, 2025 episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron provided a forceful update on the ongoing war with Iran and its broader geopolitical implications. He addressed the weakening grip of authoritarian regimes around the world and explained why figures like Trump—praised by some for being “unpredictable”—are in fact dangerously consistent in their unprincipled approach to foreign policy. Yaron criticized both Trump and Reagan’s failures on Iran, warned against naive nostalgia, and celebrated the strategic clarity being shown in the current military campaign. He also drew a fascinating cultural comparison between Iran’s missile displays and religious cathedrals—symbols meant to make man feel small—and explored what lasting cultural gains might emerge from confronting the enemies of Western Civilization.During the live Q&A, Yaron fielded a wide array of questions—from deep philosophical reflections to highly specific practical dilemmas. He discussed Ayn Rand’s unique psychological introspection, the history and future of Iranian Jews, and the viability of peaceful regime change without American casualties. Viewers also brought up topics like toxic family dynamics, irrational fears about land sales to foreign powers, World War III panic, tax residency loopholes, and even the morality of fire safety regulations in India. Amid it all, one viewer offered a monetary thank-you to Yaron for being a clear Objectivist voice in a confusing time. The episode was an intense, wide-ranging mix of principled commentary, cultural analysis, and real-world application.Key Timestamps:04:57 – On Ayn Rand, introspection, and knowing others07:11 – Are authoritarian regimes starting to fall?10:35 / 11:32 – Trump’s predictability and its dangers15:32 – Debunking Reagan nostalgia on Iran17:42 – History and future of Iranian Jews20:46 – $500 superchat: a buzzed thank-you for Objectivist clarity21:54 – Iran’s missiles vs. cathedrals: symbols of psychological oppression23:44 – On the nihilism of those who hate Western Civilization26:39 – Dealing with negative people27:35 – “Forces of evil” shrinking?31:58 – Could U.S. and Israel cause regime change without casualties?33:27 / 37:52 – Family dilemmas: rent, loans, and unfair wills39:47 – Fear-mongering over foreign land ownership41:52 – Is WWIII panic real or emotional hype?43:18 – Tax residency loophole: living half the year abroad45:32 – Who are today’s proper artists in film?46:19 – Thoughts on the First Crusade48:25 – Misconceptions about regime change50:10 – Are Indian fire safety regulations justified?📌 Don’t miss this urgent and principled episode—a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the deeper meaning behind the headlines.
