French Apologists; Ukraine; Gulf; Cronyism; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show (Season 12, Episode 172) 📺 Watch: https://youtube.com/live/-uOJ6nzNfiM  A Congo-born immigrant grew up in a 10-square-meter apartment and built a company with 110 employees. A 22-year-old activist from an upper-middle-class family sneers at her looted storefront: "Your little shops, that's cute." Which of these two women is really French, and which one is destroying France? "Your little shops, that's cute." With that one line, a far-left French influencer showed what's really behind France's riots. Yaron Brook argues the fight in France has nothing to do with immigrants versus natives. It's a fight between the people who produce and the people who justify looting them. In this episode, Yaron looks at the French intellectuals who make the riots possible. One sociologist says private property "doesn't matter." She calls a threat to rape a young mother "collateral damage." Far-left LFI politicians say violence "can be legitimate." Yaron explains why this revolutionary left won't win, and why it will push voters toward Le Pen's nationalist, big-government right instead. He also covers the Pentagon holding back Patriot interceptors that Ukraine already paid for. Britain is now defending Saudi Arabia after Washington said no. Yaron calls out an $8 billion farm bailout meant to cover damage from Trump's own tariffs and war, and the Defense Production Act being used for a pipeline. He closes with a hopeful story. Japan has launched a mission to bring back a piece of a Martian moon. And millennials now earn more than their parents did at the same age in 29 of 32 rich countries, including the US. 📱 Get the free Ayn Rand Institute app for Leonard Peikoff's courses and the new 12-hour capitalism course by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins.
