    Live July 4, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 114) 4th of July -- What's to Celebrate? | Yaron Brook Show The Radical Revolution That Changed the World—And Why America's Founding Ideals Are Worth Fighting For America didn't become exceptional because of its geography, military, or natural resources. It became exceptional because it embraced one revolutionary moral principle: the individual has the right to live for his own sake. On this special Independence Day episode, Yaron Brook explores what Americans should actually celebrate on the Fourth of July—not blind patriotism, but the radical ideas that transformed history. From the Declaration of Independence to individual rights, capitalism, entrepreneurship, and Ayn Rand's moral defense of freedom, this episode asks whether America still deserves to be called the land of liberty—and what must be done to preserve it. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, are we honoring the principles that made this country great... or abandoning them? Join the conversation live and challenge the ideas.

    What Now With Iran?; Vance; Moscow; USMCA; Reading; Obama Library; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show

    Live June 18, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 109) What Now With Iran?; Vance; Moscow; USMCA; Reading; Obama Library; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show Iran at a Crossroads: Regime Change, Vance’s Blind Spot, Putin’s Weakness & Why Human Achievement Still Wins Is Iran finally facing a reckoning—or are we watching another strategic failure unfold? In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron dives deep into the rapidly evolving conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. What should America's actual goal be? Is regime change possible? What role should Israel and the Gulf States play? And why are voices like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson getting the issue so wrong? Yaron also analyzes Russia's vulnerabilities after Ukraine's daring drone attacks, explores the possibility of a post-Putin Russia, examines Trump's trade policies and USMCA, and takes on the continuing decline of American education. Then, as always, we end on a positive note with remarkable examples of human achievement—from AI-powered medical breakthroughs and autonomous fighter jets to ocean-based data centers and advances against cervical cancer. If you're tired of superficial headlines and want serious analysis rooted in reason, individualism, and long-term thinking, this episode is for you.  Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/knuMfaO1oTQ 🔔 Subscribe, like, and share to help grow the conversation.

    Trump on Iran Deal; Hormuz: UFC Plot; Fed; DNI; Huawei; China; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show

    Live June 17, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 108) Trump on Iran Deal; Hormuz: UFC Plot; Fed; DNI; Huawei; China; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show Trump’s Iran Gamble: Surrender, Strategy, or Disaster? Plus Hormuz, China’s Victory, the Fed, Huawei, and the Politics of Achievement Did Trump just hand Iran a strategic victory—or was this the only deal available? In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron dissects the newly announced Iran memorandum, Trump's justification for the deal, the implications for the Straits of Hormuz, and what it all means for America's role in the world. Is this diplomacy, surrender, or something in between? Yaron examines Trump's reasoning, JD Vance's defense of the deal, Marco Rubio's reaction, the geopolitical winners and losers, and why China may emerge as the biggest beneficiary. He also dives into the economic consequences, the future of global shipping, the bizarre proposal for a UFC event at the White House, and answers audience questions on stress, military service, evangelicals, female presidential candidates, Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative, and more. If you care about foreign policy, economics, politics, military strategy, and the future of American leadership, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss. 📌 Watch, like, subscribe, and share! https://youtube.com/live/Ew2ljnlJXxo 🔔 Become a supporter and get access to monthly AMAs, exclusive content, and commercial-free episodes.
