Original Show Title Use of Troops; Trump Health; Manufacturing; Tips; Dissatisfaction; Stock Market | Yaron Brook Show | September 2, 2025

In this episode, Yaron Brook tackles some of the most pressing—and controversial—issues shaping America today. Should U.S. troops be deployed domestically? What does Trump’s declining health mean for the country? Can America’s obsession with “bringing back manufacturing” survive economic reality? Yaron breaks down the myths around tipping culture, the roots of widespread dissatisfaction, and the truth behind stock market movements.

Along the way: insights on equality, U.S. Space Command, and the forgotten Department of War. Plus, sharp live Q&A covering Atlas Shrugged, trade tribalism, Alaska’s decline, capitalism’s long struggle, and whether America today looks disturbingly like pre-Nazi Germany.

Live Questions:
1:30:57 Does anti-trade sentiment come from tribalism and fear of the other? Is it reasonable to decline trade that might prolong a culture antithetical to your own, e.g. Russia,Saudi Arabia. But can't it still be win-win?
1:40:25 “How do we win? We lose, and lose, and lose . . . until we are ready.” —Andor (Rebel mentor to Rebel recruit)
1:41:20 Do you think Trump being a compulsive liar and oppressor is causing his health to decay? Is it possible he doesn't make it out of his second term?
1:42:30 Does this feel like pre-Nazi Germany to you at all?
1:44:00 What is the best way to monitor the flow of investment and capital out of the US? Is this easy to see amongst all the other economic data out there?
1:46:09 A bit ago, you said young people don’t need to focus on savings. But modest investing (index funds) early compounds safely/greatly. Why wait?
1:50:14 Are intellectuals our only hope for the objectivist movement?
1:52:01 Most debates are framed as capitalism vs socialism where the takeaway is “let’s avoid extremes and go for social democracy.” Don’t you think the focus should be against social democracy?
1:54:42 Thoughts on the emotion of fear. What does the word identify? Causes?
