🔥 Congress at War With Itself, Israel Tests the UAE Alliance, Abortion Pills Spark Black Markets, and Spirit Crashes the Illusion of “Cheap” Flying

In this explosive episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron takes on the War Powers Resolution, the strategic reality behind Israel & UAE cooperation, the growing controversy around mifepristone, and the economic unraveling of Spirit Airlines. Expect sharp analysis, unapologetic clarity, and a deep dive into the ideas shaping today’s chaos.

💥 From foreign policy contradictions to economic distortions—and from cultural questions to philosophical insights—this episode connects the dots others ignore.
