Chinas Weakness Exposed: A Model the USA Shouldnt Follow

$News Roundup 9/11 - The Debate; Swift; 9/11; Housing | Yaron Brook Show 00:00 Intro 01:22 The Debate 34:30 Taylor Swift 38:08 Elon Musk 39:25 9/11 52:00 Housing Live Questions: 1:06:08 Two pipe dreams—both flawed: one where Cheney or Bolton join a Harris administration, and one where Yaron Brook builds ties between MAGA and Objectivists. The answer is clear. (Thanks for the juxtaposition! #Schwarzenegger for Sec. of State) 1:19:41 Yaron, if i requested Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity, a book by C. W. Fahy and James S. Valliant, would you review it? And how much would that cost for you to do? Its 390 pages long. 1:21:03 Rand said once that the cultural atmosphere involved a “pall of fear without object.” That relates to your observation that to the extent reason is diminished, people feel afraid. Does altruism also add to a culture of fear? 1:23:37 Yaron, how do you see a Trump administration with regard to Israel? Any major differences from the Dems? 1:26:39 DJT just endorsed a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). What is a SWF? How do they work? What are the pros and cons of them? Which other countries have a SWF? Are sovereign funds moral? Why or why not? I am so confused on this. 1:33:42 In 1980 Bay Area housing cost ~ 10% above the national average. Since then the Bay Area population has grown by 45%, while the supply of available housing has grown by 4%. Doesnt this bascially explain the whole problem? 1:35:14 I think she chose Walz because he was the only finalist that wouldnt intimidate her intellectually. Hes as lightweight as she is. 1:36:05 Konstantin Kisin released a new video on the woke right today. It was great because he takes direct aim at Tucker rather than focusing on Daryl Cooper. 1:37:41 Do you know much about Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore? I recently came across some interviews/lectures by him and was intrigued. Any thoughts about him as a political figure? 1:44:32 Arent you believing Kamalas lies to back her? 1:45:56 After this debate, I really miss Bushs leadership 1:47:04 Are Israeli farmers really in a lot of financial trouble? I met one yesterday and provided them with custom carryable powerbanks to keep there phones and USB devices going while being on the go 1:48:15 It doesn’t matter who I root for, but I’ve reached a point that I’m rooting slightly for Kamala only on the grounds of hoping a Trump loss will spur a move towards a slightly more rational GOP. 1:49:00 Battle Of The New Money Billionaires: Taylor Swift vs. Elon Musk! Whod a thought? (Elon has more $ than Taylor, but hers didnt require subsidies!) 1:49:33 I respected Taylor Swift more hearing these lines from a song, which I think she wrote: “Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)” 1:50:27 You covered this, but Trump didn’t lose because of the moderators. His answers were dark, hostile tangents that would not appeal to independent voters 1:51:00 When I did debate in High school, even we were held to higher standards. If you talked out of turn it was an instant loss, and if you didnt directly answer a question, you would lose a ton of points 1:51:40 Are you voting this election and if so for which candidate? Or is this a stay out of completely election for you? 1:52:54 Other than being pro-oil, is there any reason to vote for Trump? At least Kamala is for abortion rights. A Kamala win might force rethink in GOP 1:54:47 Reccommendation: Have a second local recording when connections are spotty so there’s a complete recording to publish 1:55:36 Did you see Peter Zeihan defend Brazils leftest governments censorship of X? It was pathetic and Chinalike authoritarian… 1:56:29 Yaron, can you answer again? There was no sound 1:57:02 Would you credit fracking as the essential driver for the country’s economic growth over the past 5 years? 1:59:01 Outro Show is Sponsored by John Barbans PHILIFE https://www.youtube.com/@JohnBarban_philife 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 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/join Like what you hear?
