Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show: WeWork Fiasco & Silicon Valley Culture'
Dr. Yaron Brook may have a PhD in finance, but he works like a chemist. One day, he’s waxing poetic about the beauties of an opera. A few days later, he’s discussing the beauty of markets with the same passion and thorough delivery as in the previous episode. This experimentation with different branches (aesthetics and politics and economics, respectively) allows him to convey a message of rationality and substance. Here, he explores the inner-workings of one of the nation’s most treasured regions: Silicon Valley.

Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show: Corruption in DC, Manon, Feminism and Capitalism'
To usher in the show, Dr. Yaron Brook speaks about the utter disaster that is the current impeachment process aimed at President Trump. Grounds for impeachment ought to include cozying up to dictators and writing each other “love songs.” No matter how you paint it, corruption is institutionalized, according to Dr. Brook, and all politicians are corrupt. Dr. Brook questions why Nikki Haley gets paid $75,000-$100,000 a pop for speaking engagements. He holds that politicians “produce nothing but become multimillionaires.” This is an age-old tale of how the people who occupy office hold immense power already in a political sense and then through pull and graft, show up with millions of dollars.

Reason First: How Many Theodore Bensons Are in the World?
To die in prison is a strange fate. It means that a person who clearly committed the crime now must meet his or her death for what they had done wrong. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, just under 20,000 men and women perished behind jail or prison walls between the years 2007 and 2010. In Delaware, convicted murderer Theodore Benson was the latest case of this face of death. While investigators continue to work on the case, it appears that Benson passed away from natural causes at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Kent County.

Reason First: Was this Wilmington, Delaware Ex-Councilman Greedy?
Greed is good. And no, it’s not in the sense of the 1987 Oscar® award-winning film Wall Street. The speech from that movie regarding avarice remains to be one of the most monumental oratory deliveries in movie history. But it falls short. It doesn’t explain the intricacies and the profound value of what it means to be greedy. Most people confuse greed with gluttony. The difference is that the former is about production and the latter is about consumption, particularly destruction.

Reason First: A Tale of Two Delaware Areas Part II
It’s a story of geography. Wilmington, Delaware is a tiny city in a tiny state. Bear, Delaware is even tinier. But the main difference is in the civic structure of both of these areas. Wilmington is known for its mean streets and comparatively high levels of the start of physical force. Bear... well not so much. According to the News Journal, a New Castle male was found guilty of killing a fellow worker in 2015 in Bear. Just a few days prior to this writing, a 25-year-old man was snuffed out of existence by gunfire. This was only a few days ago. The gulf that exists between Wilmington and other areas of Delaware continues to stretch in regard to slayings and other crimes.

Reason First: A Tale of Two Delaware Areas
In the state of Delaware, shootings don’t just happen in Wilmington. They occur in Bear, too. A 19-year-old man was shot in the torso after a heated exchange with the suspected gunman. What this shows is that at any time and in any place in the state, a weapon can be drawn and fired, injuring or killing someone. It is the emotion-driven state of some gun owners who can’t handle a discussion who reach for their sidearm. Without the flow of talk, without the ability to voice differences, and instead resorting to the start of physical force, these men and women make gun owners look bad. They represent that small group of people who can’t take a few words hurled at them and find themselves firing shots back, literally.

Good Cookie
She wore diamonds and pearls on occasions like this... normally. But this night remained unique to some civilian husbands and wives who accompanied their Devil Dog spouses. The Marine Corps Ball called for the officers and enlisted to wear their best dress or service uniforms. Mikaela Finn chose to wear her olive green Service “A” uniform instead of her Dress Blues. The diamonds and pearls continued to be out of uniform. Still, she gave off brilliance like one of those gemstones. Her unit also wore the green and khaki garb. As a young adult of age, she imbibed a few potent potables to ease the tension in the room.

Reason First: Can There Be a Solution to Wilmington, Delaware's Crime Problems?
Trigger fingers turn to mystery figures. Unsolved slayings permeate the neighborhoods in Wilmington, Delaware. The recent string of the start of physical force by way of firearms has community leaders, law enforcement, and top officials all searching for answers. There exist a few solutions. The decriminalization and legalization of all drugs, the elimination of the minimum wage, and reversing the tax-free shopping in the state to no income tax or other taxes remain among the few responses to the crisis. What these changes would do is allow the free market to reign. Young men and women who would be out on the street corners pumping drugs into the community would be permitted to do so but would find it more lucrative in a minimum-wage free enterprise. With the taxes and other programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare and all welfare programs being abolished, this would provide for more jobs than there are people in the state of Delaware.

Reason First: Privatize the DMV, Now
Is it really a surprise that a government run agency like the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) would see corruption amongst its ranks? 29-year-old Danielle Haldeman and Michelet Pouloute, 40, defrauded the Delaware DMV by issuing false driver’s licenses. The two have both pleaded guilty of their crimes, Haldeman for one count of bribery and one count of misdemeanor misconduct. Pouloute pleaded guilty to one count of felony bribery.

Talking Brook: Rational Reflections on 'Yaron Brook Show: Hangout -- Q&A'
Consideration is the key in Dr. Yaron Brook’s exemplary ability to answer an abundance of questions in the latest installment of The Yaron Brook Show, the leading popularizer of Ayn Rand’s revolutionary philosophy, where he fields questions from his top contributors. Jim Carnicelli, Jonathan Hoenig, and Jennifer Lionberger all show up on the Zoom feature. Jim initiates the period by actually commenting to Dr. Brook how he considers the good doctor the “face of Objectivism.” Dr. Brook duly thanks Jim, before launching into the topic of how the host feels frustration at the fact that he has brought untold numbers of people to Objectivism, only to have some of these “Objectivists” be staunch supporters of President Trump.

Talking Brook: Rational Reflections on 'Yaron Brook Show: Iran & Your Questions' (9/21/19)
There’s a thread winding through what Dr. Yaron Brook has to say. It’s rationality. As he has admitted, The Yaron Brook Show sometimes features moments when he is wrong. This episode is not one of them. He kicks off the show by describing how debates should be long enough to adequately treat a certain issue or topic. He then continues by asking the audience who has been turned on to Objectivism by one of his debates. This is interesting. He points out that at least two people (so they claim) learned about Ayn Rand’s philosophy through Dr. Brook’s rhetorical skills in a debate. Just one individual who discovers Rand’s earth shattering ideology is just as much a good sign of this world getting better.

Reason First: The Fraudulent Doctor
Let the sentencing of a Delaware doctor be a reminder of how government should not be involved in medicine. Wilmington Dr. Karl McIntosh pleaded guilty to third-degree perjury and falsification of business records in 2017, according to Delaware Online. As a result, a Superior Court judge handed down a ruling of two years probation. But this psychiatrist may not have been a fraudster if the State had no role in healthcare. A dysfunctional and vicious code where the government imposes itself on the private sector leads men and women to commit these crimes.
