Live May 14, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 85) Trump in China; Israeli Rape Dogs; Oct. 7th; Kevin Warsh; Billionaires; Alberta | Yaron Brook Show The Collapse of Moral Clarity: Trump, Israel, Billionaires & the Death of Reason The West is drifting deeper into tribalism, nihilism, and anti-reason politics — and almost nobody wants to admit it. In this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron Brook tackles everything from Trump’s posture toward China and the moral confusion surrounding Israel after Oct. 7, to the growing hostility toward billionaires, the future of Alberta, AI and conceptual thought, antisemitism, and whether the courts can withstand authoritarian pressure. The live audience questions push the discussion even further: Is altruism the root of today’s political collapse? Are LLMs actually thinking? Is the West abandoning freedom? Why do intellectuals keep defending collectivism? And what happens when a civilization loses confidence in reason itself? This is a wide-ranging, provocative episode connecting politics, philosophy, economics, technology, and culture through the lens of Objectivism and individualism.
