🔥 War, Energy Collapse & the Illusion of Stability: Gold Surges, Cuba Fails, and America Drifts

What if the “energy crisis” isn’t a crisis—but a policy disaster fueling war, inflation, and global instability?

In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron connects the dots between the energy market, geopolitical conflict, and economic uncertainty—while exposing the deeper philosophical failures driving today’s chaos.

From the rise of gold to the collapse of Cuba, from the Save America Act to the growing control of platforms like Apple News—this episode pulls no punches. And in the second half, Yaron takes on some of the most provocative audience questions yet, including AI resurrecting dead actors, the limits of the Second Amendment, and whether America’s enemies are stronger—or just more ruthless.

If you want clarity in a world spinning on narratives, this episode is essential viewing. Watch, engage and share! https://youtube.com/live/9HYXOeXaRqs
