About this episode

Mamdani, Tucker & Fuentes -- What is Going On? | Yaron Brook Show 
🎙️ Recorded live November 8, 2025

Why Both Left & Right Are Losing Their Minds 

Both Left and Right are in moral freefall. From Zolan Mamdani’s socialist posturing in New York City to Tucker Carlson’s flirtation with anti-Enlightenment nationalism — Yaron Brook breaks down what’s really driving America’s political and intellectual decay.

Why are figures like Fuentes gaining traction? Why is antisemitism spreading in both camps? And what does it mean for freedom, reason, and capitalism?

💬 Join Yaron Brook for a no-holds-barred analysis of politics, morality, and the battle for Western civilization.
