## Resource

Live July 13, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 122) Graham; Ukraine; Iran; Oil; ICE; 1776; Greedflation; Cronyism; Ebola; Achievement | Yaron Brook Show From Ukraine to Iran, Oil Shocks to "Greedflation"—Can Politics Solve the Crises It Creates? The headlines never stop—but are we asking the right questions? Ukraine continues to innovate while Russia adapts. Iran threatens global shipping and energy markets. Politicians blame "corporate greed" for inflation while expanding government power. ICE dominates the news, Ebola returns, stem cell breakthroughs offer hope, and the debate over capitalism versus cronyism has never been more important. In this episode, Yaron Brook cuts through the noise to examine the ideas driving today's biggest stories—from Lindsey Graham's political legacy and the future of Ukraine to oil markets, inflation, state capitalism, and why blaming "greed" misses the real culprit.
