📺  July 17, 2025 | Syria/Gaza Update; Coca Cola; Spending Cuts; NYC Subway; China; Farming; Genome | Yaron Brook Show

In this fast-paced episode, Yaron Brook offers sharp, unapologetic commentary on today’s headlines—from the latest developments in Syria and Gaza to CocaCola’s corporate cowardice and the myth of government "spending cuts." He unpacks the economics behind a new breakthrough battery technology, critiques the state of the NYC subway system, and explores how farming and genome editing reveal the power of rational science and free markets to transform the world.
Along the way, Yaron tackles the destructive logic of tariffs, gives a quick update on the Epstein case, and reacts to the growing push in the UK to lower the voting age. The result? A wide-ranging defense of capitalism, individual rights, and reason over the tribalism, nihilism, and altruism infecting our culture.

Live Q\&A Segment
The audience came ready with provocative and thoughtful questions: one listener asked about nudism, culture, and what it means to be civilized. Another wondered whether Enlightenment ideals are stronger today in Europe than in America. Yaron responded to questions about AI tech valuations, the ideal age to vote in a hypothetical draft-era, immigration’s relation to the war on Islamism, and whether deflation would exist without a central bank. One viewer asked why NYC and Silicon Valley remain innovation hubs despite their dysfunction, while another thanked Yaron for inspiring them back in an introductory philosophy course.

1:08:56 When the U.S. had a draft, people argued that if you had to fight for your country at age 18, you should be able to vote at 18. Would you advocate voting at 18 if we had a draft? 
1:09:37 With high taxation and crime rates in NYC and Silicon Valley why are those locations continually the financial services and innovative capitals of the world?
