Hoppe: The Libertarian God that Failed | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 17)
Streamed live on October 28, 2026
Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/nPdwprAS0j4

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.

Consequences; Affordability (Cochrane); Ukraine; War?; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 167)
Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/WWE2CR74PfQ

"Trump just broke his own economy — and 80% of Republicans now want the same price controls Mamdani does. Is there anyone left who still believes in free markets?"

America just got its hottest inflation reading since the peak of the Biden years — and Yaron Brook names exactly who caused it: Trump's tariffs and his unfinished war with Iran.

In this episode, Brook tears into a shocking new WSJ poll showing 80%+ of Americans — Republicans included — now support socialist-style price controls on rent, credit cards, drugs, and wages. Using economist John Cochrane's "Grumpy Economist" analysis, Brook explains why "affordability" is a meaningless word, why price controls always produce shortages and black markets, and why the real enemy of capitalism isn't politicians — it's the idea that self-interest is immoral.

Then: Zelensky's blowup at Trump, Starshield sabotage, Saudi Arabia's $82 billion military that can't stop Houthi drones, the canceled execution livestream, and real human achievement in cancer drugs and battlefield tech.

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.

(Season 12, Episode 165)
Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/8XZGFr8hY1M

Why does Donald Trump only have one kind of friend in the world — dictators?

In one single afternoon, Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for Russia's missiles, threatened the Houthis with action "after the election," and mused about meddling in Israel's vote — and Yaron Brook says none of it means anything, because Trump doesn't have a foreign policy, he has impulses.

On this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron tears into Trump's authoritarian-friendly instincts, breaks down a Saudi Arabian airport attack that shows Iran's reach is only growing, and lays out — number by number — why China is trapped in a debt spiral that should embarrass every politician on the left and right pushing "industrial policy."

Then: a Michigan Senate candidate's AI panic platform that would freeze American innovation cold, a politically-timed FBI raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home, and a CFTC trade scandal with Trump's fingerprints potentially all over it — a six-million-barrel oil sell-off, fifteen minutes before Trump reversed an Iran strike plan, followed by an alleged cover-up at the agency that's supposed to police exactly this kind of thing.

Plus: Guyana's oil windfall—a nation of 800,000 people suddenly flush with more oil money per capita than almost anywhere on Earth, and a reminder of what resource wealth looks like when it's not run by a kleptocracy.

And through it all, Yaron makes the case for the achievements that still make this country work, even when its politics are broken. This is capitalism, foreign policy, and moral clarity, unfiltered — new episodes every week.

Europe Burning; Econ Nobel; Trump & Diesel; SA & Houthis; Compute; More | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 164)
Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/RpIc2_QaFBM

Is Europe's welfare state now a machine that burns its own young to feed its old — and is Trump too much of a coward to stop pouring gas on the fire?

France's teenagers are torching their own schools. Spain is rioting over rent. Bond yields in Paris just blew past 2008 levels. Yaron Brook says none of this is really about Macron, migrants, or budgets — it's a fifty-year-old promise the old made to themselves and billed to the young, and the bill just came due. In Season 12, Episode 164, Yaron tears into Europe's demographic collapse, calls out Trump for buying diesel from Putin to shave gas prices before the midterms, breaks down this year's Economics Nobel, explains why Houthi missiles hitting Riyadh's airport barely made the news, and lays out why compute — not capital — is now the scarce resource in AI.

Gad Saad's Book "Suicidal Empathy" | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 15)
Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/YAYMf1uIMEQ

*Is "too much empathy" really what's wrecking the West — or did Gad Saad just hand the left a get-out-of-jail-free card?*

Gad Saad says the West is dying of "suicidal empathy" — kindness and compassion gone haywire. Yaron Brook says that's exactly backwards, and in this Yaron & Nikos Dialogue he explains why: Saad never defines empathy, concedes that altruism is morality, and lets evolutionary psychology do work it can't do. The real killers aren't an overdose of compassion — they're altruism, tribalism, and the refusal to judge anyone for anything. Yaron and Nikos take the book apart chapter by chapter — immigration, socialism, taxation, criminal justice — and show why "he couldn't help it, it's evolution" is the most dangerous sentence in the book. Also: Erika Kirk's forgiveness, Mamdani dodging October 7th, California's billionaire tax, and a review of Yes Minister's "The Compassionate Society."

44:23 — The "survival benefits of empathy" argument collapses
1:01:44 — Virtue signaling, determinism, and why we stopped judging people
1:09:35 — Yaron's framework: altruism + tribalism + non-judgmentalism, not "empathy"

Financiers Acquitted; Iran; Peace Nobel; Skilled Immigration; SpaceX; Cancer | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 163)
Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/9W4hUwuBLaM

"Why did 18 of 19 financiers just get their convictions thrown out — eleven years after prison took their lives?"

A banker gets 14 years — the sentence we reserve for second-degree murder — for nudging a number by a hundredth of a percent. Eleven years later, the courts admit there was never a crime. On this episode, Yaron Brook tears into the acquittal of the LIBOR traders and argues Wall Street has been the West's designated scapegoat since the 2008 crash — while the central banks that actually rigged the system walk free.

From there Yaron goes to war: a three-day Pentagon strike plan on Iran is sitting on Trump's desk and nobody will sign it, Navi Pillay just won a Nobel Peace Prize that makes Obama's look earned, and JD Vance just suspended Microsoft and seven other companies from the green card system — proof the "we're only against illegal immigration" line was always a lie. Plus: SpaceX's $8 billion spectrum play that could gut AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile overnight, and a genuinely stunning number on cancer survival that nobody's talking about.

If you think finance is evil, immigration is the enemy, or "peace" prizes mean anything anymore — this episode will wreck your priors.

Rubio in Athens; Iran War?; Bond Vigilantes; Ukraine; Vance; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show
(Season 12, Episode 162)
Watch Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMOHEwoqILY

"Marco Rubio stood on the hill where democracy was born and praised Western civilization — so why did he credit the religion that shut down the Academy and buried it for a thousand years?"

Marco Rubio gave a speech on the Pnyx, with the Acropolis behind him, defending Western civilization — on October 7th, without once mentioning October 7th. Yaron Brook breaks down why half of Rubio's speech is brilliant (individualism, reason, the pursuit of excellence) and the other half is a dishonest sleight of hand that credits Christianity for burying the very Greek ideas it's praising.

Then: Trump orders the Pentagon to prep Iran strikes to lower gas prices — then cancels them until after the midterms, handing Tehran a free month. Bond vigilantes are now pricing French and British government debt as riskier than their own corporations' bonds — Yaron explains why that's a good thing. Russia is leveling Ukrainian apartment buildings and nobody's chanting "genocide." And JD Vance, when asked to define socialism, says he "doesn't really know what the term means anymore" — conveniently, since the Trump administration now owns equity in 30+ US companies.

Yaron Brook — chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute — gives you the news the way almost nobody else will: judged against reason, individual rights, and whether politicians are telling you the truth.

"What if October 7th wasn't a failure of intelligence — but a failure of nerve? Three years later, Yaron Brook names the lesson Israel and the West still refuse to learn."

On the third anniversary of October 7th, Yaron Brook delivers his most unflinching verdict yet: the massacre wasn't an intelligence failure — it was a failure of philosophy. Israel had the warnings. It had drone footage of Hamas rehearsing the attack on model kibbutzim. It had a direct call from the UAE. It ignored all of it because "the Concept" — the comforting lie that Hamas could be bought off — was easier to believe than the truth staring everyone in the face.

Three years later, Brook argues, nothing essential has changed. Netanyahu still hasn't called a commission of inquiry. JD Vance just softened "stop enrichment" into a meaningless "cut" in Iran's nuclear program. Zohran Mamdani is spreading blood libel in New York. And the bond market is quietly preparing to punish a government that still refuses to say the word "austerity."

Brook also honors the real heroes of that day — the untold story of Lt. Col. Or Ben-Yehuda, who held the line at Tsufa when the state failed to — and closes with a reminder that even in a week this dark, science keeps delivering: GLP-1 drugs may be slowing human aging itself.

This is a show about moral clarity — naming the enemy, naming the failure, and refusing to let comfortable lies pass as analysis.

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.

The 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.
