About this episode

President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has captivated tens of millions of people with his outspoken criticism of fiscal irresponsibility, his advocacy for reducing the size of government, and his unique ability to connect with the disaffected voters of traditional politics. Though he champions a libertarian approach in a landscape traditionally dominated by populist and socialist policies, his journey to the presidency is not just a political story; it’s a narrative about challenging the status quo, advocating for radical change, and inspiring a movement. In this discussion, President Milei and I explore his incisive views on the current state of the West, Argentina's economic turmoil, the experiences that shaped his worldview, and the moments that propelled him from a renowned economist to a national leader. Join us for a riveting discussion that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most fascinating political figures of today.
