Live July 8, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 118) Chinese AI; NATO; Ukraine; Iran; Freedom Fuel; Woke Act; Skilled Jobs; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show Can China Beat America in AI? Trump's NATO Pivot, Iran, Woke Defeated, and Why Capitalism Still Wins The AI race is accelerating—and China may be closing the gap. Is America still positioned to lead, or are bad policies putting innovation at risk? In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron examines the rapidly changing AI landscape, OpenAI's newest model, soaring industry valuations, and what China's technological rise really means for America's future. He also analyzes Trump's evolving positions on NATO, Ukraine, and Iran, the administration's "Freedom Fuel" initiative, a major court ruling against Florida's WOKE Act, and why America's shortage of skilled workers reveals deeper problems in education. The conversation then turns to a surprisingly optimistic look at economic progress. Despite endless headlines about decline, Americans continue to enjoy rising incomes, improving living standards, greater energy efficiency, and remarkable technological advances—from AI to SpaceX. Are we living through one of history's greatest periods of human achievement while convincing ourselves everything is falling apart? The show concludes with an extended live Q&A covering capitalism's future, AI and education, China versus the United States, Iran, Dubai, Cuba, immigration, creative destruction, Poland, Stephen Miller, Gad Saad, and much more. If you enjoy serious analysis grounded in reason, individual rights, free markets, and Objectivism, subscribe and join the conversation.
