Live Questions:
1:28:53 Last show you gave an odd answer to a superchat question about being a "nice guy" as a life strategy is somehow not self-interested? I have found being nice, outgoing and benevolent has made life far better than being calculating and stand offish.
1:31:40 You know the quote "the happiest people aren't the takers, but the givers"? In reality, the happiest people aren't the givers or the takers, but the traders.
1:33:46 Biden's response/actions with Iran is so traitorous that i have to vote against Biden. Trump, terrible as he is, seems way less dangerous than someone that actively protects and funds the enemies of America. thoughts?
1:35:43 What is the epistemolical standard for those who reject objective truth? They assert truths; are those just the product of their moral whims?
1:38:44 The basic idea of the Left is that every single person is a malleable widget.
1:39:55 Hey sorry i missed the Tara Smith interview. I had a free speech Q. Protesters that block streets are violating individual rights, but what actions are appropriate for the victims to take? continued..
1:41:28 I've seen videos of people moving and sometimes even hitting them. Can something like that be justified if you had a life or death emergency and needed to get by?
1:42:41 Yaron, I'm back home. I managed to catch a flight out of Tel Aviv on Tuesday. Your commentary on Saturday helped me get through the night. Thank you.
1:44:46 Israel still has not attacked Iran or Rafah. What is the damn hold up?
1:45:05 It seems to me that Iran clearly meant to avoid any civilian casualties and the attack was all posturing, no?. 48 hours notice. Attack in the night when everyone is at home, close to their safe rooms.
1:47:00 China does export steel to Canada, & Canada buys steel from United States companies. Tariffs made make so many products more expensive for buyers in the US. Tariffs are unjust and immoral.
1:47:43 Truth is always considered hate by those who hate the truth.
1:47:52 Does the truth always heal?
1:48:53 Would you ever sublet your condo to cover the cost of a long vacation like you're doing this summer?
1:49:22 Alan Dershowitz said on his podcast that Biden is the Neville Chamberlain of our time. Comments?
1:50:31 Why do you think the interests of consumers are ignored as against producers in ￼the discussion of tariffs?
1:52:45 You seem to be shot out of a cannon with this new format. Keep it going! Schedule consistency is super important on YouTube. But put in a couple of breaks. Yaron Brook Network when?
1:53:39 $ for positive news
1:55:16 Voting with $$$ for the new schedule. Thanks!
