And right now, the West is losing both. Broadcasting live from Warsaw, Yaron Brook takes on the biggest global flashpoints—from escalating tensions in Lebanon to the moral confusion behind foreign aid, from Viktor Orbán’s nationalism to the intellectual decay at Yale and Harvard, and the rising power (and danger) of AI. This episode pulls no punches. It challenges the narratives dominating media, academia, and politics—and asks the uncomfortable question: Is the West abandoning the very ideas that made it strong?
