The Real Baron Podcast is one of the fastest growing podcasts in the world. It is currently ranked #148 on Spotify in the US among all podcasts. The subject of the podcast’s Opening Statement on July 22, 2026 was Rand’s novella Anthem.
Baron was the person who first identified, via Google Trends, strange and suspicious searches prior to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He then continued to investigate and discuss all the other anomalies and oddities around the assassination.
While many conservative influencers insist that there is nothing unusual about the Kirk assassination and that the case against Tyler Robinson is iron-clad, it is obvious to a large section of the public that this isn’t true.
In his opening statement on the 22nd, Baron summarized the plot of Anthem, and related it to the current state of the world, and to the real life events of the Covid-19 scamdemic.
He pointed out how, during the scamdemic, individual decision-making was demonized (even more than usual) and everyone was compelled to wear a mask, or two masks, and stand six feet apart, or in the prescribed circles, and walk only in the direction the arrows indicated, and eventually, take a dangerous, life-threatening, experimental gene therapy shot.
Baron mentioned that he’s read most of what Rand wrote. I wonder if that includes all her articles in The Objectivist Newsletter, The Objectivist, and The Ayn Rand Letter.
It is no surprise of course that yet another leading podcaster was influenced by Rand’s work. Many successful people are.
But it’s always excellent to see someone with a large and diverse audience talk about Rand’s prescience about the state of the US and the world today, and recommend her work to a new audience.
It’s also rare to see someone clearly identify the Covid-19 scamdemic as an exercies in collectivist indoctrination. Every slogan rammed down everyone’s throats during that unusually insane time was a collectivist, altruist compulsion.
Everyone was commanded to wear a mask, not to protect themselves, but as a nonsensical, altruistic performance ostensibly to protect others (which it didn’t).
Everyone was commanded to stay home and indoors for the same reason. And everyone was coerced to take an ineffective, dangerous, experimental gene-therapy shot, for which nobody had any liability in case it crippled or killed you.
Yes, Covid-19 was a collectivist altruist initiation ritual. Through and through. Very few people understand that.
Baron Coleman does. Because he runs a high IQ outfit.
Thanks Baron, for introducing your listeners to Ayn Rand and Anthem, and all the other great work you do.
Fun fact: Anthem was also the inspiration and basis for the song (and album) 2112 by Canadian rock band Rush, and Rand is credited in the album’s liner notes.
