    Why Capitalism is Losing & How to Start Winning | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
    2026/09/20
    Live Sep 20, 2026Why Capitalism is Losing & How to Start Winning | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 13)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/0NEiaMMzNAg"If capitalism has cut world poverty by 90% and cured more disease than every government program combined — why does almost nobody defend it, and why does every generation vote to kill it again?"Capitalism made you rich. It gave you the phone in your hand, the food on your table, the medicine that keeps your grandparents alive — and almost everyone alive today still thinks it's evil.In this episode of the Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Yaron Brook and Nikos go after the real reason capitalism keeps losing: it's not an economics problem, it's a morality problem. Every generation, in every country, votes against the system that made them wealthy — because they've been taught that self-interest is shameful and sacrifice is sacred. Yaron argues that no amount of GDP charts or Milton Friedman quotes will fix that. Only a moral revolution will.Yaron and Nikos dig into why guilt, not ignorance, drives people toward socialism, why "greed" became capitalism's PR disaster, and what it would actually take to start winning the argument again — with young people, on college campuses, and in the culture at large.🔴 Watch live and join the conversation every week on the Yaron & Nikos Dialogues. 🎧 Full episodes and more: https://youtube.com/live/0NEiaMMzNAg💬 Got a question for a future episode?

    Live from Madrid (Sept 28, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 155)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/sLrPRT7SZaAIf markets are pricing in "no adults in the room" on U.S. debt, mortgage rates are back above 7%, and Iran just got its president a seat at the UN mid-war — does anyone in Washington actually have a plan, or is everyone just improvising in public?Yaron Brook finally makes it to a webcam after a week bouncing between Tbilisi, Florence, and Madrid — and he's not easing back in gently. He opens with the story most people are ignoring: 10-year Treasury yields above 5.2%, 30-year above 5.5%, mortgages back over 7%, and a bond market that's stopped pretending anyone in Washington has a debt plan. Then he tears into Iran's latest fake offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calls out Trump's red-carpet groveling to Xi, and makes the case that NVIDIA and a scrappy biotech startup — not government regulation — are the real answer to AI risk. Starship reached orbit. A Hamas operative got asylum in the UK. And somehow Netanyahu, for all his faults, still looks like the last adult in a room full of European politicians who'd rather cave than govern.Then the audience takes over: CPAs, career advice, zoning fights in your own backyard, whether men are really being "feminized," and why one European capital's mayor just switched parties. Unfiltered capitalism, individualism, and foreign policy — live, from a hotel room in Spain.Main Topics:00:00 — Live from Madrid: why there was no show for a week (Tbilisi, Florence, and Georgian hospitality)09:11 — The real story: 10-year yields above 5.2%, mortgages over 7%, and no adults in the room on U.S. debt14:55 — Why "deregulation + AI will save us" is a bipartisan fantasy36:12 — Iran's fake Hormuz reopening offer — and why oil above $100 tells the real story41:01 — A Hamas bodyguard was granted UK asylum, and Britain barely blinked58:36 — NVIDIA's OpenShell/Sentry and Red Queen Bio: AI is the answer to AI risk — and Starship reaches orbit1:44:16 — Why Netanyahu, for all his flaws, is still a giant next to Europe's leadersAudience Questions:1:07:24 — "How do I actually vet and trust a CPA before handing them my finances?"1:18:18 — Should your neighbor get to tear down a house and build multi-family housing next door?1:40:23 — Poland's mayor just became a Democrat — good sign or empty gesture?1:42:07 — Are men really being "feminized" in modern society — or is that the wrong word entirely?1:46:34 — Will Europe's tariff wars hand the next elections to the left?#InterestRates #IranNuclear #AIRegulation #Netanyahu #SpaceX #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment #MarkZuckerberg #TrumpNews #FreeMarkets #Capitalism #Objectivism #AynRand #Anarchism #EconomicsExplainedLike this episode?Subscribe, share it with friends, and become a Patreon supporter to access monthly AMAs, exclusive content, and commercial-free audio.The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by[The Ayn Rand Institute](https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)[Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein](https://alexepstein.substack.com/)[Express VPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)[Hendershott Wealth Management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) &(https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/)[Michael Williams & The Defenders of Capitalism Project](https://www.DefendersOfCapitalism.com)[Support the Show]( / yaronbrookshow )[Sponsor the Show](askyaron@yaronbrookshow.com/)[One-time donation](https://bit.ly/2RZOyJJ)Join the [Yaron Brook Show YouTube channel]( / @yaronbrook )Like what you hear?

    AI Debate - Gates vs. Huang; France; Wars; Nationalists; More | Yaron Brook Show
    2026/10/07
    AI Debate - Gates vs. Huang; France; Wars; Nationalists; More | Yaron Brook Show
    (Season 12, Episode 160)
    Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/TG_A3NOP6qE?feature=share

    Jensen Huang says AI is about to make humanity richer than it's ever been. Bill Gates says we should regulate it like a loaded gun. They can't both be right — so which billionaire actually understands what reason and capitalism built?

    Bill Gates wants AI regulated like a chemical plant. Jensen Huang wants to build as fast as physics allows. Yaron Brook breaks down why this isn't a fight about technology — it's a fight about whether risk-aversion or achievement should run the 21st century, and why Gates' Microsoft could never have survived the rules he now wants to impose on everyone else.

    Then: France's municipal elections just handed nationalists dozens more cities and nobody has an answer for them — because the "opposition" is just a different flavor of collectivism. Yaron explains why the real fight in the West isn't left versus right anymore, it's individualism versus every collectivist alternative on offer.

    Plus: the wars nobody's finishing, why "nationalist" has become a badge of honor on both continents, and the AMA where Yaron takes your toughest questions live.

    🔴 Live audience Q&A included — Yaron takes on your questions about AI regulation, French politics, war strategy, and the rise of the new nationalist right, unscripted.

    Main Topics
    00:00 – Cold open: Gates vs. Huang, framed
    06:40 – Why Bill Gates wants AI regulated like Microsoft never was
    22:15 – Jensen Huang's case for building without permission
    38:50 – Where real rights-violations in AI start — and where "risk" is just fear
    55:30 – France's municipal elections: the nationalist right keeps winning
    1:12:05 – Why "left vs. right" in Europe is really collectivism vs. collectivism
    1:28:40 – The wars with no stated victory condition
    1:45:10 – Nationalism's quiet slide toward tribalism — and who it blames next

    Audience Questions
    2:02:00 – Should AI even be called "artificial intelligence"?
    2:08:30 – Is Bill Gates right that unregulated AI is a loaded gun?
    2:14:50 – Can France's center actually hold against Le Pen's successor?
    2:21:15 – Is the "civil war on the right" real, or one ideology in disguise?
    2:27:40 – What does an actual war-winning strategy look like right now?
    2:34:00 – Is nationalism just socialism with a flag?

    Live from Madrid 2 (Sept 29, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 156)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/Anji2QvT0QU"Iran's currency just hit 2.5 million rials to the dollar — so why is Trump still afraid to win this war?"Iran is losing. Its currency just crashed to a record 2.5 million rials per dollar, inflation is spiraling, and its regime is so desperate it's now threatening to bomb the Saudis and the UAE — because it's too scared to touch Israel. So why is the Trump administration still refusing to finish the job?Live from Madrid, Yaron Brook tears into the week's biggest contradictions: Trump's threatened diesel export ban and his midnight tariff war on Canadian whiskey — both textbook cases of a president making policy by whim instead of principle. Then Yaron pulls the actual CBO data to demolish the "hollowed-out middle class" myth once and for all — real incomes are up across every income group since 1979, and the rich are shouldering more of the tax burden than ever. He rips apart Anthropic's jaw-dropping $2 trillion IPO filing that openly admits its own product "may pose existential risk to humanity" — and asks who invests in that. And he closes with the 46th anniversary of the Simon-Ehrlich bet, the wager that permanently settled whether the world is running out of anything.Plus: Spain's eviction ban chaos, the Senate capping what college athletes can earn, and why so many young Americans have started blaming the opposite sex for their problems.🔴 Watch live weekdays.

    Hasan Piker; Starlink/Ukraine; Inflation; Netanyahu; Banking; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show
    2026/10/14
    Hasan Piker; Starlink/Ukraine; Inflation; Netanyahu; Banking; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 166)Does Yaron Brook think Hasan Piker — Twitch's biggest socialist, a man who openly praises Mao, Castro, and North Korea — is actually the most honest man on the American left? And if so, why can't a single Democratic moderate explain what's wrong with him?Hasan Piker streams eight hours a day to millions of viewers, pulls in seven figures doing it, and openly admires Mao, excuses North Korea's labor camps, and calls Zionists Nazis. According to a new Atlantic investigation by left-leaning writer Jonathan Chait, Piker isn't a fringe embarrassment to the Democratic Party — he's its most consistent expression. In this episode, Yaron Brook explains why moderate Democrats can't actually refute Piker: they've already conceded his core premise, that self-sacrifice for the collective is the standard of virtue. Once you grant that, Piker isn't an extremist. He's just honest.From there, Brook tears into a week's worth of stories that all come down to the same question — principle or expedience? Elon Musk throttles Starlink bandwidth to Ukrainian drones in the middle of a Russian blitz on the power grid, and Brook argues the real culprit isn't Musk, it's Trump — foreign policy run on mood instead of strategy. A hot CPI print quietly wipes out six months of real wage gains. Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar sues Netanyahu over ignored October 7th warnings. Bank of America eats a $1.2 billion fine for a "crime" with no victim and no proof. And one state, Idaho, actually cuts its regulatory code instead of growing it — proof that deregulation isn't just a talking point.Reason over tribalism. Individual rights over collective guilt. That's the standard applied to everyone in this episode — a streamer, a president, a prime minister, and a bank regulator alike.🔗 Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/BD899h4g3HYMain Topics0:01 — Intro2:21 — Hasan Piker goes mainstream: inside Jonathan Chait's Atlantic piece43:46 — Why moderate Democrats have no answer for Piker54:28 — Altruism's hierarchy of victims: how it leads straight to Mao and Castro1:04:25 — Starlink throttled to Ukraine mid-blackout — whose call was it really?1:12:06 — Hot CPI print erases six months of real wage growth1:21:21 — Ronen Bar sues Netanyahu over October 7th warnings1:27:15 — Bank of America's $1.2B fine: a crime with no victim1:36:49 — Idaho's 49% regulatory cut: deregulation that actually happenedAudience Q&A1:47:46 — Is "here today, gone tomorrow" really a malevolent-universe premise in disguise?1:49:26 — Is our education system manufacturing kids who can't survive in a meritocracy — and is that fueling the Nazi/communist comeback?1:57:51 — Does all nihilistic behavior trace back to self-hatred?2:01:39 — Why do Objectivists almost never talk about "central purpose" — and why does it matter so much?2:07:23 — Should principled capitalists vote Republican just to push Democrats back to the middle by 2028?2:12:06 — Would 90% tax rates actually force businesses to hire more people, like Sam Seder claims?2:16:53 — AOC has an economics degree — so why is she this economically illiterate?2:17:44 — Could the US end the Iranian regime with zero American casualties — so what's Trump actually afraid of?2:20:04 — If government forced banks into bad loans, did failing banks deserve bailout money?#HasanPiker #Ukraine #Netanyahu #Inflation2026 #Deregulation #socialism #communism #marxism #mao #china #FreeMarkets #Capitalism #Objectivism #AynRand #ForeignPolicy Like this episodeSubscribe, share it with friends, and become a Patreon supporter to access monthly AMAs, exclusive content, and commercial-free audio.The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by[The Ayn Rand Institute](https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)[Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein](https://alexepstein.substack.com/)[Express VPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)[Hendershott Wealth Management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) &(https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/)[Michael Williams & The Defenders of Capitalism Project](https://www.DefendersOfCapitalism.com)[Support the Show]( / yaronbrookshow )[Sponsor the Show](askyaron@yaronbrookshow.com/)[One-time donation](https://bit.ly/2RZOyJJ)Join the [Yaron Brook Show YouTube channel]( / @yaronbrook )Like what you hear?

    The Yom Kippur War | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
    2026/10/04
    Live Oct 4, 2026The Yom Kippur War | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 14)"Four days from annihilation — how did Israel survive the war its own intelligence said could never happen?"On October 6, 1973 — the holiest day of the Jewish year — Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated surprise attack that nearly destroyed the state of Israel. For the first four days, the outcome was not assured. Golda Meir would later say Israel had never faced a graver danger — not even in 1948.In this episode of Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Yaron Brook — who was 12 years old and living through it in real time — walks through the Yom Kippur War from the inside: the catastrophic intelligence failure that let two armies mass on Israel's borders undetected, the political failure that compounded it, the brutal first 96 hours when Syrian tanks were rolling through the Golan and Egyptian forces had crossed the Suez, and the American airlift that turned the tide. Did Israel actually ready nuclear weapons as a last resort? Yaron and Nikos go there too.This isn't a dry history lecture. It's a case study in what happens when a free, rights-respecting nation gets complacent about an enemy that never stopped planning to destroy it — and why that lesson didn't stay in 1973.🔴 Watch live and join the conversation.
