Mamdani, Grade Inflation & Russia’s War: What’s Really Breaking America?
America is drifting—and the causes are deeper than politics.
In this wide-ranging episode, Yaron Brook cuts through the noise: Mamdani’s attack on liberalism, the collapse of academic standards, the truth about Russia’s war strategy, the massive job mismatch strangling the economy, and the real consequences of redistricting.
Plus: surprisingly good news.
