Revisiting, with Yaron, Ayn Rand’s 1971 essay, “Don’t Let It Go,” in light of some recent developments. What has been the effect of Trump’s Presidency, so far, on what Ayn Rand called the “uniquely American sense of life”? This and more on today’s show, see Program Notes, below, for the stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Yaron.
The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.
