AMA & Hangout with Contributors (Dec 2025) | Yaron Brook Show
Recorded live on December 27, 2025

If you want to understand the world through the lens of reason, individualism, and freedom, this is the conversation you won't want to miss.

Reason vs. Rage: Taxes, War, Culture, and the Future of Freedom | Live AMA

What happens when you drop the filter and let reason collide with today’s political, cultural, and moral chaos?

In this wide-ranging AMA & Hangout with Contributors, Yaron Brook tackles everything from runaway taxation and Israel–U.S. tensions to conspiracy thinking, anxiety, parenting, culture, and the long game of spreading ideas. No scripts. No talking points. Just sharp analysis through the lens of reason, individualism, and freedom.

This is not punditry—it’s philosophy applied to real life, real politics, and real questions from a live audience.
