🔥 Oil, Power, and Illusions: From Hormuz to Washington—Who’s Driving America’s Moral Collapse?

Is America acting with purpose—or just projecting power without principle?

In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron dives headfirst into one of the most volatile geopolitical flashpoints: the Strait of Hormuz—and what it reveals about U.S. strategy, global energy politics, and the deeper moral confusion driving today’s foreign policy.

From the illusion of “peace” to the rise of media provocateurs like Tucker, from DHS overreach to Trump’s version of “greatness,” and the Democrats’ relentless push for more taxes—this episode connects the dots between power, ideology, and a culture losing confidence in its own values.

💥 If you’ve ever wondered whether America still knows what it stands for… this is the episode you can’t miss. Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/sd-lvDXC8nE
