Can America Recreate Milei's Libertarian Surge in Argentina?

Javier Malay the president of Argentina just got elected last year at the end of last year and calls himself an anarco capitalist he's a hardcore he's reading all the books we've been talking about and he's in like disaster Town economic wise Argentina it's like H have you been following that oh yes how do you how has that impacted the way you think about the world we're living in right now no I I love it for this reason for for whatever reason Americans have conceded that a person like that this whole populistic approach to just sound economists because I think that's the important thing about Javier that we need to acknowledge he was Unapologetic oh yeah uh in terms of his his his libertarianism like it was that's what that was that was his campaign it wasn't anything he was trying to hide it wasn't anything he was trying to mask it wasn't one hey I infiltrated and then I he was leading with it and the people got behind it right and this you know I remember posting about this what this happened I was like how in the world did Argentina of all places beat America in terms of getting a Libertarian we're the ones that talk about liberty liberty liberty and all these documents and they got a Libertarian president before we did and I guess you got the one way to look at it is that it had to get pretty bad for them to yeah to to to do that but I look at that is nothing but a positive it shows that yes people can lead with that and it resonate with with with the with the audience like like a lot of people it can resonate with you can you can leave with that you don't have to be wishy-washy with your position because you think oh well it's a little too radical that no you can it just you got to make it make sense and that's what Javier would do he'd go on these shows he'd be arguing with people he didn't care because he knew his stuff right he and he often knew more than they did he was able to explain himself and be able to communicate those those different ideas and he was very very passionate and people resonated with that I'd love to see something like that happen in America he is and I I actually getting frustrated to get really into political stuff because you know you get these people who especially quote people on the quote unquote right who saw jaier and they're like oh man this guy's awesome and I'm sitting here like y'all had a version of that 2008 and 2012 instead you wanted John McCain and Mitt Romney yeah that's true I'm just saying I got all these ideas we're sitting here right now because of that guy because another a Texan Don Paul yes and he uh he and similar stuff like weird s sort of softspoken old man talking about geeki economics getting on stage after 911 saying we're over there bombing people this is the CIA calls this blowback and Rudy Giuliani being like you take that back how dare you how dare you say this about America it really is interesting like it's it's interesting how a voice can come from nowhere that nobody thinks would resonate like all this stuff you were saying about targeting the audience earlier but I don't I bet you don't Target the audience I bet you do what Rick rubben does and it's like do I love this is this awesome all right let's do it put it out yeah put it out that's my Approach and I think again that's what resonates with it though like that's what resonates with the audience and that that people respond to that people will gravitate towards that you just got to be honest man you just got to be real I think the authenticity man is the easiest marketing ability I don't care what you're in politics business whatever you're in definitely in this day and age because everything seems so fake um so it's a breath of fresh a it's like the it cost you nothing to just be yourself even people might disagree with it but they resp me people you get people oh man I'm not necessarily a biggest fan of of of this position it is that Eric has but I love him so you know and you you it out like okay there's nothing you want the government to do nothing zero Z go away shrink to the size of the you know what is it like a shrink to the size of a thimble shrink small enough to drown in a bathtub and then drown it you're there you're there yeah yeah exactly um what has been the most challenging argument to your position where do you honestly go who that is tough I'm going to be honest there isn't one I I'll give you one better and that's is what people know me for my great marro rent that I went on uh that's the most frustrating one to have to field because everybody defaults to it for some who's going to do the roads it's that's who's going to roll flat concrete yeah there's no way that the people that build the complex Vehicles could roll the concrete yeah it's so I will say that it's it's like the stupidest response it is it is so I will say that there's not one necessarily that I've that I was like oh man I like I think that's difficult either if I and then that doesn't mean that I have the answer to everything it more than likely mean someone else is entertained that and that's the cool thing about Liberty like it's funny about the this whole Road thing Walter block has like a a massive like I don't know how many pages that freaking essay is of him saying okay you wanted an answer who G how how we gonna do this bam here it is and he breaks it down like to a science man like there's nothing to refute there but it is such a it it I would say that that's the most frustrating it's the most frustrating one and it's often the default who built the roads and it's I think it's like two-thirds of the roads in Sweden are managed by private companies something like that it's like it's like it how do we overcome do you think that we're in a time you're a new media entrepreneur we're in this time that's really really interesting when we think like big picture when we think about our kids when we think about the world where it's like you can kind of customize your whole life of of information flow yeah like I can make I can make my information World whatever I want it to be and some of that's amazing a lot of it's amazing I can I can learn about economics without having to have some horrible Professor that's teaching me Marxist nonsense like and then I have to sit there and be like this guy's an idiot and I'm going to go read on the side it's like no I can do this all myself uh but it is like we're we we are in a time where it's like well we're all reading different stuff we're all going down different Echo Chambers right like do you think about that like philos as a philosophical person and as somebody like cares about the future do do you worry that like the things that are exciting also have this sort of dark feed feedback loop where like what is truth even mean in 2024 yeah I what does it mean like that's that's such a good question I mean for me it's like I I'll say this much divisiveness doesn't bother me as much as I think it does for other people my issues that come with it are when people think that it's proper to use aggression upon people because they are not aligned with them on whatever topic right I'm okay with people gravitating towards wherever they wherever they go like-minded individuals groups of people for that matter doesn't bother me the issue is when you try to force that on every other individual and you feel like that is the righteous position this is why I feel like our political philosophy is not I feel I know it is the only moral one because it's the only one that allows you to do that you want to you want to create a communist commune in Texas you can do that you can do that you can't create a mini Texas in North Korea there you go right that we will allow them to do their what they want to do they won't allow us to do what we want to do so we have the moral we have the moral position so that's why I say about what that's that's also my Approach again with the whole divisiveness thing it's not something that I that I that I fear or anything I'm okay with people again finding those pockets of places and and and theories and ideas whatever I'm okay with that the difficult thing is trying to get people to understand okay I'll embrace your your your uniqueness or whatever it is world it is that you want to see how do I convince that person to keep that within an a voluntary means is the is the is the conversation that I think we should be having less about what and more about okay can you keep that to other people that agrees to you or is it going to bleed out if you like this clip we've got more where that came from be sure to watch the full video and don't forget to subscribe to the channel so you won't miss our new videos as they come out
