August 7, 2025 | Resizing Gov; Putin/Trump; Tariffs; Jones Act; mRNA; Satellites; Gaza | Yaron Brook Show

From shrinking government to the Putin–Trump power game, Yaron takes on tariffs, the Jones Act, mRNA breakthroughs, satellites, Gaza, and Hezbollah. No spin—just hard truths about economics, foreign policy, and freedom.

Live Q&A: Revolutionary spirit vs. today’s complacency, falling TV prices vs. rising college costs, Gaza’s “starvation” claims, school choice ethics, moral judgment, Israel’s PR problem, animal rights, Trump’s tariffs myth, WWI, socialism’s war on the family, and more.

Key Time Stamps:
02:15 Resizing Gov
17:50 Putin/Trump
30:15 Tariffs
49:05 Jones Act
1:01:40 mRNA
1:08:40 Satellites
1:11:20 Gaza
1:19:55 Hezbollah
1:27:00 Putin/Trump

Live Questions:
1:28:49  Did early Americans think they would win v Britain? What principle changed to make it tolerable now?
1:39:10 Is this "starvation in Gaza" narrative nothing but a modern day anti-Semitic olood libel? Or has Hamas found a way to effectively starve its own population?
1:39:58 What about late Andrew Coulson’s argument that non-refundable tax credits are only acceptable school choice option, with other options too coercive and associated with subsidization? Do ESAs facilitate single-payer education?
1:49:41 College tuition went up 194.4% in the past 25 years. Has the VALUE of a college education gone up by at least that much since 2000?
1:52:26 Rand had a principle that one must never fail to pronounce moral judgement. Could condemning and shaming someone who cheats on their spouse be an application of this principle?
1:56:00 Are most Americans morally good most of the time and just don’t realize they’re being moral because altruism is the accepted morality? What are the consequences of denying egoism intellectually even if one practices it?
1:57:02 Why is Israel so bad at PR? Or is antisemitism so entrenched, no matter what they do, they will be crushed by ignorance? Netanyahu tried to get on Joe Rogan's podcast and was turned down.
1:58:22 Are animals our slaves?
1:58:37 Some animals have demonstrated a limited but very real capacity for reason. Such as Elephants, Chimps, Magpies, and Dolphins. Should they have some limited rights to the degree of their limited reason?
2:01:07 Who'd be in the coalition on Dodd-Frank repeal?
2:01:38 Bill Maher, etc., are saying: “I guess Trump’s tariffs aren’t bad; economy is good; I was wrong.” But they’re not even in effect yet. What’s the deal?
2:02:32 is it helpful to debate policy on social media?
2:04:03 I've heard you say that USA shouldn't have entered WW1. Did you know that Germany bombed NY harbor in 1916 and were sinking US vessels in 1915 & 17
2:05:50 did you see any clips from the DSA (dem-soc of A) Town Hall? they want to abolish the family. Said marriage=prostitution; childhood=slavery
2:08:10 Do you have time for Portugal/Spain recommendations if I send an itinerary? Mostly looking for great food.
