*“Strongmen, Free Speech, and the Road to Tyranny: From Zelensky to Trump”*
Is the world drifting toward strongman rule—and cheering it on?
From Zelensky’s moral clarity to Trump’s flirtation with dictatorship, this episode of The Yaron Brook Show dives head-first into the collapse of liberal values, the rise of authoritarian instincts, and the intellectual confusion poisoning global politics.
Yaron takes on the so-called “Board of Peace,” the moral catastrophe in Gaza, Iran’s growing threat, and the dangerous erosion of free speech and free markets—while answering hard-hitting live questions about Trump, intelligence vs. cunning, international law, ICE raids, and whether America could slide into dictatorship or theocracy.
If you care about individual rights, moral clarity, and the future of freedom, this is a must-watch.
