    Live Mar 9, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show Season 12 - Episode 48 New Supreme Leader; War Update; Taxes & Welfare state; Housing; Tucker | Yaron Brook Show Iran After the Ayatollah: War, Welfare, Housing, and the Rise of the New Right  The Middle East may be entering a historic turning point. With a new Supreme Leader emerging in Iran, the war against the Iranian regime enters a dangerous new phase. What happens next? Will the regime collapse—or double down? On this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron breaks down the latest war developments, Hezbollah’s role, and the strategic mistakes that created decades of “forever wars.” He also dives into the deeper ideological battles shaping today’s politics—from the failure of the welfare state to the housing crisis, and the disturbing rise of right-wing anti-Semitism pushed by figures like Tucker Carlson. Why has the welfare state failed to eliminate poverty? Why are housing prices exploding? Why is the new populist right flirting with ideas that echo the worst ideologies of the 20th century? And what would it actually take to defeat the Iranian regime once and for all? 🔥 Yaron answers these questions and more in a wide-ranging episode that connects war, politics, economics, and ideology.

    Live Mar 8, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show Season 12, Episode 47 War Update; Tucker; Dugin; More | Yaron Brook Show Iran’s Regime Shaking, Tucker’s Madness, and Dugin’s Dark Vision — What the West Still Doesn’t Understand The Middle East may be on the brink of a historic turning point. As the Iranian regime weakens and war reshapes the region, the West faces a deeper ideological crisis: a growing alliance of authoritarian mysticism, nationalism, and anti-Western nihilism represented by voices like Tucker Carlson and Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin. In this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron analyzes the latest war developments, explains why the collapse of Iran’s regime could reshape the Middle East, and breaks down the disturbing intellectual trends gaining influence in the West. Why are figures like Tucker Carlson suddenly echoing narratives that align with authoritarian regimes? Who exactly is Alexander Dugin—and why do his ideas matter? And what does all of this reveal about the philosophical vacuum in Western culture today? Yaron also answers a wide range of live audience questions—from the meaning of a successful life, to Trump’s motivations in foreign policy, to whether Russia and China should be confronted if they back Iran. If you want to understand the ideas driving global conflict—not just the headlines—this episode is essential viewing.

    Iran War -- One Week Evaluation | Yaron Brook Show

    Live Mar 7, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show Season 12, Episode 46 Iran War -- One Week Evaluation | Yaron Brook Show One Week Into the Iran War: Is the West Finally Fighting to Win—or Repeating the Same Strategic Mistakes? After seven days of strikes, missile barrages, and escalating regional tensions, the critical question is not whether the West has military superiority—but whether it has a strategy for victory. On this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron Brook breaks down the first week of the Iran war: what has gone right, what has already gone wrong, and what it would actually take to bring down the Iranian regime. From air dominance and Iranian drone attacks to the strategic choke point of the Strait of Hormuz, Yaron analyzes the military realities shaping the conflict. He also explains why regime change must be the goal, why the Kurds could be decisive allies, and why the West may already be repeating the strategic mistakes that have doomed past wars. The show closes with a wide-ranging audience Q&A tackling everything from constitutional war powers and Trump’s role to Ayn Rand, Objectivism, and whether Iran could ever become a Western country. If you want a clear, morally unapologetic analysis of the war—and what victory would actually require—this episode is for you.
