Google’s Real Crime? Being Too Good. The Antitrust War Exposed

Podcast audio:

In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Ben Bayer and Robertas Bakula discuss the latest developments of the Department of Justice’s vicious antitrust persecution of Google.

Among the topics covered:

  • How the antitrust attack on Google is driven by hatred of its productive virtues;
  • How the DOJ’s remedies for Google’s alleged crime punish their success;
  • Google’s failure to challenge the government’s right to persecute them;
  • Why calling out the evil of antitrust would give Google the moral high ground;
  • How the Trump administration is just as bad as Biden’s on antitrust prosecution;
  • What Google and other persecuted businesses can do to defend themselves.

Recommended in this podcast are “Open Letter to Google’s Sundar Pichai and Team,” which is the first project of ARI’s Atlas Circle initiative, the previous podcast episode on “The Vicious Antitrust Case Against Google,” and Ayn Rand’s essay, “America’s Persecuted Minority: Big Business.”

The podcast was recorded on February 5, 2025 and released on February 7, 2025. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Watch archived podcasts here.
