Hoppe: The Libertarian God that Failed | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 17)

What happens when a famous "libertarian" decides that kings are better than voters, and that some of your neighbors should be "physically removed"?

Hans-Hermann Hoppe is the heir to Murray Rothbard and a hero to anarcho-capitalists and the new right. He called it "the so-called Holocaust" on stage. He argues that kings protected liberty better than democracy. In his ideal "covenant," people with the wrong lifestyles get "physically removed." Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos explain why Hoppe is the libertarian god that failed.

Yaron and Nikos play the clip of Hoppe comparing Gaza to "the so-called Holocaust." Then they trace how he got there. Hoppe's famous "argumentation ethics" claims that the act of arguing with someone proves property rights. Yaron calls it rationalism, meaning word games cut off from reality. Rights have to start from the nature of man. Human life depends on the mind, and force is the enemy of the mind.

Next comes Democracy: The God That Failed. Hoppe says a king cares for his country the way an owner cares for his house. Yaron answers with real history, from royal palaces surrounded by poverty to Henry VIII's bloodshed.

In the live Q&A, Yaron and Nikos cover:
why most libertarians lose interest the moment you bring up morality
what made Rothbard so hateful
whether fossil-fuel money hurts Alex Epstein's credibility
Israel's election and its Arab parties
why "conflict of interest" has become a weapon against the profit motive
 
Yaron Brook makes the moral case for capitalism, individual rights, and reason, against the left and the right.

Israel Votes; Brazil Voted; Anthropic; Starlink: Cuba; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 174)
Streamed live on October 27, 2026

Why would a government give people up to five years in prison for selling a satellite dish?

Cuba is jailing people for selling Starlink antennas. Brazil just gave an 80-year-old socialist a fourth term. Israel went to the polls in a vote that is really a referendum on one man.
Yaron Brook sorts out what it all means. In Israel, Yaron has argued that Benjamin Netanyahu himself is the only thing blocking a secular, center-right government without the ultra-Orthodox parties or Ben-Gvir. In Brazil, Lula da Silva came back to win 51.8% to 48.2%. He is the first president since 1985 to win after losing the first round, and Flávio Bolsonaro still refuses to concede.

Anthropic's IPO filing shows $16.3 billion in revenue and an $80.7 billion loss over six months. The filing also warns that AI could pose "existential risks," while the Pentagon brands the company a "supply chain risk." The episode covers Starlink, Cuba, and why a communist regime fears an internet connection more than a protest. It ends with this week's human achievements.

Elections: Brazil, Israel, USA; France Riots; Starlink | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 173)
Streamed live on October 25, 2026

Can you save a country from socialism when the only other candidate isn't a capitalist?

Brazil's 80-year-old socialist just won a fourth term. Yaron Brook was in Porto Alegre on election day, making the case against Lula da Silva. He explained why Flávio Bolsonaro was still the right vote, even though "he's no Milei."

Israel votes Tuesday, and Yaron points to the one thing blocking a secular, center-right government. That obstacle is Benjamin Netanyahu himself. Also in this episode: France's riots show that tough policing works, the Starlink slowdown over Ukraine leaves Musk and Trump blaming each other, and the US midterms could turn into a mess.

(Season 12, Episode 172)

A Congo-born immigrant grew up in a 10-square-meter apartment and built a company with 110 employees. A 22-year-old activist from an upper-middle-class family sneers at her looted storefront: "Your little shops, that's cute." Which of these two women is really French, and which one is destroying France?

"Your little shops, that's cute." With that one line, a far-left French influencer showed what's really behind France's riots. Yaron Brook argues the fight in France has nothing to do with immigrants versus natives. It's a fight between the people who produce and the people who justify looting them.

In this episode, Yaron looks at the French intellectuals who make the riots possible. One sociologist says private property "doesn't matter." She calls a threat to rape a young mother "collateral damage." Far-left LFI politicians say violence "can be legitimate." Yaron explains why this revolutionary left won't win, and why it will push voters toward Le Pen's nationalist, big-government right instead.

He also covers the Pentagon holding back Patriot interceptors that Ukraine already paid for. Britain is now defending Saudi Arabia after Washington said no. Yaron calls out an $8 billion farm bailout meant to cover damage from Trump's own tariffs and war, and the Defense Production Act being used for a pipeline. He closes with a hopeful story. Japan has launched a mission to bring back a piece of a Martian moon. And millennials now earn more than their parents did at the same age in 29 of 32 rich countries, including the US.

We The Living Movie, Australian Premiere -- Conversation With Duncan Scott | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 171)
Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/b-dYmWFMf2c

Mussolini banned this movie. Goebbels demanded it be pulled. Eighty-four years later, major distributors still won't touch it. Why does Ayn Rand's We the Living still scare people?

Mussolini ordered every copy destroyed. Its producers hid the negatives in a basement and sent a different film to be burned in its place. Ayn Rand then refused to let anyone see it for decades. This is the incredible true story of We the Living.

Yaron Brook calls it the best movie ever made from an Ayn Rand novel. In this episode he talks with four-time Emmy winner Duncan Scott, who sat alone with Ayn Rand in a dark editing room and re-cut the film reel by reel to her exact instructions.

Fascist Italy took Rand's first novel in 1942 without her knowledge. Officials expected anti-Soviet propaganda. Instead, Italians saw their own lives on screen, with the shortages, the fear, and the missing freedom. The film became Italy's #1 box-office hit, and then it vanished. One of its stars joined the anti-fascist underground and hid American soldiers in Rome. Lawyers Hank and Erika Holzer spent two years hunting through Italy for the lost negatives. Now the film has been digitally restored, frame by frame, and it is touring the world, including a screening in Kyiv during an air raid.

The restored film is coming to Australia for the first time, with premieres in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane in February and March 2027. Duncan Scott will be there in person. Yaron and Duncan explain why a 1942 film about three young people crushed by a dictatorship speaks to today more loudly than ever.

About Duncan Scott: Duncan Scott is a film and television director and producer. He has more than 150 productions to his credit and four Emmy® Awards. He has worked with Woody Allen, Margaret Mead, Eric Clapton and Michael Caine. Much of his career has gone into projects that promote freedom. He worked with Ayn Rand to restore We the Living. He consulted on the Atlas Shrugged film series and on a stage adaptation of Anthem. He directs the Objectivist History Project, a nonprofit that is building a video history of the early Objectivist movement. Duncan is a member of the Directors Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and the Creative Council of The Moving Picture Institute.
