About this Episode
🚨 August 15, 2025 | Putin&Trump Meet; Intel; Drill; Age verification; Redistricting; Infowars; Kabul | Yaron Brook Show
Putin and Trump shake hands—what does it mean for America’s future? Intel struggles, the CFPB expands its grip, and the left manipulates redistricting while the right embraces conspiracy nonsense like Infowars. Meanwhile, “green” electric cars fail to deliver, Kabul is still a disaster, and America’s intellectual bankruptcy deepens.
Yaron dives into the headlines and the underlying ideas:
-- Putin & Trump meet — a dictator and a wannabe strongman. Dangerous or just pathetic?
-- Intel — why U.S. innovation keeps falling behind.
-- CFPB — more paternalism dressed up as “protection.”
-- Redistricting & Infowars — democracy distorted by both sides.
-- E-cars — are they really progress, or just virtue-signaling with subsidies?
-- Kabul — the ongoing price of cowardice.
Plus, a firestorm of audience questions: IQ vs choice, free will, dictatorship in America, optimism and freedom, guilt and reason, luxury vs vanity, humans on Mars, and much more.

Live Questions:
1:15:19 Any good sources for the economic history and policies of Hong Kong?
1:16:31 Have you seen Alex O'Connor's debate with Craig Biddle on free will? Can any Objectivists who actually know what they're talking about from ARI reach out to Alex for a proper debate/discussion?
1:17:55 If less than 100 years after World War II, and 68 years after the publication of Atlas Shrugged, the United States collapsed into dictatorship, how incompetent would the advocates of a free society have to be?
1:21:42 What do you think of the trend of using holograms of dead celebrities in concerts?
1:25:18 Why do the Chinese want a regulatory state while rejecting the welfare state? Do they think welfare makes their population soft?
1:27:25 You notice how Millei is so energetic and excited about life? Do optimistic people tend to gravitate towards free markets?
1:28:18 What if Trump had Putin arrested during the meeting?
1:28:47 If you didn't have to travel to make a living, would you be a homebody? Just relaxing on the beach and doing podcasts?
1:29:27 I remember around a year ago you said something to the effect: “I need to rethink what I’m doing with this show because It’s too negative and too much news, that’s not what I want.” Have you thought more in that vein since?
1:31:56 How do you think characters like RFK and Tulsi allign with the modern Right?
