Why does Donald Trump only have one kind of friend in the world — dictators?

In one single afternoon, Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for Russia's missiles, threatened the Houthis with action "after the election," and mused about meddling in Israel's vote — and Yaron Brook says none of it means anything, because Trump doesn't have a foreign policy, he has impulses.

On this episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron tears into Trump's authoritarian-friendly instincts, breaks down a Saudi Arabian airport attack that shows Iran's reach is only growing, and lays out — number by number — why China is trapped in a debt spiral that should embarrass every politician on the left and right pushing "industrial policy."

Then: a Michigan Senate candidate's AI panic platform that would freeze American innovation cold, a politically-timed FBI raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home, and a CFTC trade scandal with Trump's fingerprints potentially all over it — a six-million-barrel oil sell-off, fifteen minutes before Trump reversed an Iran strike plan, followed by an alleged cover-up at the agency that's supposed to police exactly this kind of thing.

Plus: Guyana's oil windfall—a nation of 800,000 people suddenly flush with more oil money per capita than almost anywhere on Earth, and a reminder of what resource wealth looks like when it's not run by a kleptocracy.

And through it all, Yaron makes the case for the achievements that still make this country work, even when its politics are broken. This is capitalism, foreign policy, and moral clarity, unfiltered — new episodes every week.
