Is the rise of AI powerhouse Nvidia a triumph of free-market capitalism or a target for big-government overreach?

In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Objectivist philosopher and author Yaron Brook cuts through the political noise to dissect the biggest headlines shaping our culture, economy, and geopolitical future. From Jensen Huang’s tech empire and the economic fallout of Proposition 37 to the alt-right "Groyper" political strategy, Iran's escalating threat, and the constitutional debates surrounding impeachment, Yaron delivers an unyielding, principled analysis grounded in individual liberty and reason.

Onkar Ghate on The Meaning & Significance of the Midterm Blue Tsunami | Yaron Brook Show

▶️ Watch: https://youtube.com/live/88hrsAwSn8o

The GOP deserved to lose, and to lose big. But did the Democrats do anything to deserve the win?

Republicans got crushed in the 2026 midterms. Yaron Brook and Onkar Ghate argue the GOP earned every loss and the Democrats earned none of the win. 🌊

Yaron and Onkar Ghate of the Ayn Rand Institute make the case that voters rejected Trump without voting for anything. They look at who will fight over the parties next. Nick Fuentes's groypers want the GOP, and the DSA wants the Democrats. They also cover how Social Security and Medicare turned young voters against old ones, how tariffs cost Republicans Michigan, and how abortion helped flip Texas. Their biggest point is that neither party has a serious plan for the economy.

The Suez Crisis & the New Middle East | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
| Episode 18 | Streamed live on November 8, 2026
Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/YWC65L85GXQ

What if the Middle East's 70 years of chaos began the week America helped a dictator beat its own allies?

In 1956, Britain, France, and Israel crushed Egypt's army in a matter of days. Then Eisenhower made them give it all back. Nasser had been ordering suicide pills for his own leadership, and he walked away the hero of the Arab world. Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos show how the Suez Crisis created the Middle East we are still fighting today, from Nasser's Soviet alliance to Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode, Yaron and Nikos cover the full story. Ferdinand de Lesseps builds the canal with French engineering and French capital. Disraeli buys a British stake with money borrowed from the Rothschilds. In a two-and-a-half-hour radio speech, Nasser repeats "de Lesseps" again and again because the name is the signal for his troops to seize the canal. Britain, France, and Israel then meet in secret at Sèvres and plan a war. Ariel Sharon fights at the Mitla Pass, and Israel takes Gaza and all of Sinai. Then Washington lines up with Moscow at the UN, refuses Britain emergency money, and ends Anthony Eden's career.

Yaron makes the moral case that no history podcast will make. Nationalization is always theft. A dictator has no real sovereignty. Eisenhower's pragmatism gave Egypt to the Soviets, set off a wave of oil nationalizations across the Arab world, and taught Khrushchev that a hint of nuclear war makes the West back down. The parallels to today are unmistakable. Britain gave three different reasons for its war in a single day. Washington did the same with Iran.

In the live Q&A, Yaron and Nikos take on MAGA antisemitism after the midterms and Nick Fuentes's push to take over the GOP. They also cover Mamdani, Clinton's comeback after 1994, why the right lost educated voters, AI and data centers, and the one rule every Objectivist should follow at a debate.

▶️ Watch: https://youtube.com/live/xcmAikfNVsw

Republicans just lost Senate seats in Texas, Ohio, and Kansas. JD Vance says the Iran war did it. What if the real culprit was the man at the top of the party all along?

Republicans just suffered their worst midterm wipeout in decades, and Donald Trump is calling it a "GREAT EVENING." Republicans lost Senate seats in Texas, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, and both Carolinas. Even Mississippi was too close to call days later. Democrats flipped about 42 House seats. Texas fired Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton. JD Vance says one thing caused all of it: "The reason we lost is the war. That's it." Yaron Brook says Vance is evading reality.

Streaming live from Mexico City, Yaron goes through the right's competing explanations for the loss. One camp blames the war. One blames Trump. One says the New Right failed. Bannon and Fuentes blame the Jews. He then tests each claim against the exit polls. Only 4% of voters named foreign policy as an important factor. 65% said Trump's policies made the economy worse. Yaron points to tariffs, cost of living, corruption, Trump-picked candidates, cruel ICE crackdowns, and Texas's harsh abortion regime.

The Yaron Brook Show defends reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism, drawing on Ayn Rand's philosophy. Yaron is chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute.

Midterm Elections Live -- From Rio de Janeiro | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 175)
Streamed live on November 3, 2026
Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/KO6lbnZGh58

What if the biggest winner of the 2026 midterms is the Democratic Socialists of America, and the man who handed it to them is Donald Trump?

Yaron Brook wanted Republicans to lose this election, and to lose badly. Live from Rio de Janeiro on election night, he explains why the 2026 midterms rejected Donald Trump and gave the socialist left no mandate at all. He also explains why Trump voters, and not their critics, own what comes next.

Democrats took both Carolinas. Jon Ossoff's Georgia race was called within minutes of the polls closing. Texas, Kansas, Ohio and Iowa all leaned blue as the night went on. Florida's Republican redistricting backfired. Yaron's explanation is blunt. Tariffs pushed prices up. A war in Iran was started and never won. Trump's government now owns stakes in 41 private American companies. Seven in ten voters said Congress has failed to check the president, and they're right.

Then the live audience gets its turn as Yaron takes on Objectivists versus libertarians, socialism's record around the world, and more.

Yaron Brook defends reason, individual rights, and laissez-faire capitalism against both the populist right and the socialist left.
