Original Live Title RFK & Miran at Senate; FL Vaccine Mandates; Abortion Pill; Tariffs &Deportation | Yaron Brook Show | September 4, 2025

When politics descends into a circus, who’s really paying the price? From RFK’s Senate drama and Miran’s grandstanding to Florida’s authoritarian vaccine mandates, America’s culture wars rage on. Add in the Left/Right battle over the abortion pill, Trumpian tariff lies, and calls for mass deportation—and you get the perfect storm of bad ideas.

Yaron Brook slices through the noise with unapologetic clarity, exposing the irrationality, tribalism, and dangers behind today’s politics. Neither Left nor Right escapes critique—because freedom, reason, and individual rights demand honesty.

Live Questions:
1:11:47 Another interesting thing about Rand was that she frequently thought of and identified the motives behind ideas and actions without resorting to psychoanalyzing. Do you think that’s difficult to do? What are your thoughts on how to do it?
1:13:31 How do you objectively assign a weight to your gut feelings? 
1:18:09 Even if you're healthy, is it possible to be consistently happy if you're not wealthy?
1:20:51 With Trump everything is horrible, a disgrace, a Hellhole, etc., unless he’s responsible for it. I’m highlighting his negativity and malevolence. Do you think that’s correlated with skepticism/cynicism?
1:22:06 Why do some grow up trying to think in principles despite their education, and others don't?
1:23:52 Does the Left have more respect for human rights than the Right? Respect for due process and humane treatment of detainees and prisoners?
1:25:46 On yesterday's show, you said: "Ayn Rand didn't convince that many people, but maybe she convinced the most important people". What did you mean by that?
1:27:10 When Tom Snyder asked Rand what she meant by selfishness, she referenced self-esteem, and that one should “respect one’s mind”. What does respecting one’s mind entail?
1:29:08 When a crony politician is accused of acting in "self-interest" against the "interest" of the people, what's a better term than "self-interest"?
1:30:37 When evaluating selfishness, are people not so much put off by the idea of you pursuing your values and achieving your happiness, but a perceived ugliness of not caring about others?
1:32:20 Could hospitals now say, “Want to deliver your baby at Hospital A, B, or C? You must get these specific vaccines for our NICU ward’s protection.” ?
1:32:50 If the S&P500 booms 4k points after the tariffs are shut down, would Trump reconsider tariffs? Or is he too deep into mercantilism to think otherwise?
1:34:00 Are you planning on becoming a genocide scholar?
