Live Questions:
1:05:41 Thoughts on the agency costs of free cash flow? Is it largely fixed in comparison to the 1970s, or is it still a big problem in the U.S.?
1:18:34 Why do they want to control me and destroy my soul? To subdue their own inferiority complex? How are you so good at reading minds?
1:20:11 Did you always have a sense you were going to be famous?
1:20:42 Do you ever look back on your debates and think “I should have said this or that” or are they all a blur at this point?
1:22:08 The Wright homes you are showed are beautiful. Do you also find any value in houses with curvy lines? We have some beautiful homes here on Grosse Ile that are less angular, but I like those, too.
1:26:26 Would you classify India as a western country? As poor and mystical as it is, India doesn’t appear as medieval and nihilistic as Islamic countries. Indians who come to the west do very well.
1:28:07 Are you sure obnoxiousness doesn’t speed up the process? The left are totally united and obnoxious and they run everything.
1:31:00 see you at OCON Looking forward to playing poker with you, Yaron!
1:31:40 Why does the left have a monopoly on being humane and compassionate? Their policies rot out cities and make people fear and hate one another.
1:33:30 Bryan mentioned seeing Dr. Peikoff talk at age 18. I went back to find it, but it seems to be gone. Did it get edited?
1:34:25 I much prefer this show format, but I understand revenue may be effected due to people’s work schedules.
1:36:20 Give this Superchat 10 likes and I will do a 10$ superchat!
1:37:02 10 likes acquired! 20 likes on this one and I will do a 20$ sticker!
1:37:22 Hire the unemployed immigrants to build the great big beautiful wall for Trump. PS Gaaza must be deestroyed.
1:37:37 Yaron I passed the bar exam in my province in Canada. I plan on starting my own private practice. What’s with this inflation? Thoughts? How much inflation is causes by government? 90% or 95%?
1:38:45 Why don’t hedge funds and retail traders short meme stocks when they’re going up? What’s the risk if you’re willling to hold for a few months?
1:43:52 Did you like The Capitalist Manifesto? Johan Norberg is currently writing a new book titled “Peak Human – What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages.” Sounds like an interesting one.
1:46:10 Trade, Baby, Trade
Live Questions:
2:24:43 I’d they want everything made in America, why don’t they have the balls to totally ban all imports? Do they know at some level what a disaster that would be?
2:27:50 U depressed me yesterday but you were on fire. The modern day Paul revere “we’re losing our freedom! We’re losing our freedom!!” You r appreciated!
2:28:11 Is it OK to place trade sanctions on stuff like slave labor or other egregious human rights violations?
2:29:55 If you say “Donald Trump” in front of the mirror 3 times, scott appears behind you and says “But the left!!” p.s. Gaza delenda est.

In the latest episode of the Yaron Brook Show, host Yaron Brook delved into some of the most pressing news stories of the day. Titled “News Roundup 5/15; Trade, Baby, Trade,” this episode focused on the importance of free trade, setbacks in the fight for individual rights, and the growing trend of government intervention in the economy.
One of the main topics discussed was trade, with Brook emphasizing the benefits of free trade and the harm caused by protectionist policies. He argued that free trade allows for the efficient allocation of resources, fosters competition, and ultimately leads to greater prosperity for all involved parties. However, he warned against the protectionist approach taken by some countries, pointing out the negative consequences of tariffs and trade barriers.
Brook also touched upon the issue of individual rights, highlighting recent setbacks in the fight for freedom of speech and expression. He expressed concern over the growing trend of censorship and political correctness, which he argued stifles open debate and hinders progress. Brook emphasized the importance of defending individual rights and pushing back against efforts to restrict freedom of expression.
Another key theme of the episode was government intervention in the economy. Brook criticized the increasing role of government in regulating businesses and controlling the market, arguing that such intervention leads to inefficiency, stifles innovation, and limits economic growth. He called for a return to a more free-market approach, where businesses are allowed to compete and succeed based on merit and consumer choice.
Overall, “News Roundup 5/15; Trade, Baby, Trade” offered a comprehensive analysis of the current state of affairs in the world of economics and politics. Yaron Brook provided insights into the importance of free trade, the challenges facing individual rights, and the dangers of government intervention in the economy. As always, his show offered a thought-provoking and educational take on some of the most important issues of our time.

Thank you for showing us those Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes. They are beautiful. People who live in or travel to Michigan should consider a visit to the Alden B. Dow Home and Studio in Midland. Dow studied under Wright at Taliesin in the '30s and had a very successful career designing homes and other buildings, many of which are concentrated in Midland near his own home. Their website is called abdow, and it ends in org.
Great show!
Damn your Celtics Yaron!
Thanks!
Please make a short clip out of the part about modern architecture. I would like to share it with some acquaintances.
@YaronBrook with the new format, I miss the timestamped topics listed in the show description. Can AI do this for you? Very helpful to be able to look at the notes and see all the topics covered in the episode.
