📺 Live February 16, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show Interviews Bonus Episode Season 12, Episode 5 Conversation with Agustina Vergara Cid -- Milei & Argentina; Immigration | Yaron Brook Show What does a pro-freedom immigration policy actually look like—and why has America lost confidence in its own founding principles? In this special bonus episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron is joined by Agustina Vergara Cid for a deep and timely conversation on immigration enforcement, American founding values, and the moral case for welcoming newcomers who seek freedom. Drawing on Ayn Rand’s own immigration story, they explore what America once stood for—and what it must reclaim to remain a nation of opportunity rather than bureaucracy and tribalism. This episode cuts through slogans and fear-mongering to ask the hard questions: Can immigration enforcement be compatible with individual rights? What moral principles should guide U.S. immigration policy? Why do America’s founding values continue to inspire immigrants—even as Americans themselves forget them? What Ayn Rand’s experience as an immigrant reveals about freedom, ambition, and human flourishing If you care about liberty, national identity, and the future of the United States, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 👤 About Agustina Vergara Cid Agustina Vergara Cid writes and speaks for the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) and serves as a teaching assistant at Ayn Rand University (ARU).
