I haven’t even watched this interview yet but just need to say, Yes he has turned his country around but you want to know how? By opening up
His prisons and Mental institutions deporting all of the freaking criminals to our country. Crime is down substantially over there, But not here.

“I once thought liberty was divisible, that you could have very great personal liberty within a framework of substantial state control of the economy, but I don’t mind saying I was quite wrong. The thing that finally convinced me was the issue of compulsory unionism. Labour today is so deeply anti-creative, so organically and instinctually lacking in any positive impulses, that it actually likes banning things or people, for its own sake. It’s motto is: accentuate the negative. To ban, to boycott, to embargo, to exclude, blacklist, close down, shut up, silence, censure – these are the things which now come naturally to it, perhaps the only things it really knows how to do.”   

“Margaret Thatcher famously asked “Who governs Britain?” as unions struggled for power. By 1980, everyone knew the answer: Thatcher governs. Once the union citadel had been stormed, Thatcher quickly discovered that every area of the economy was open to judicious reform. Even as the rest of Europe toyed with socialism and state ownership, she set about privatizing the nationalized industries, which had been hitherto sacrosanct, no matter how inefficient. It worked. British Airways, an embarrassingly slovenly national carrier that very seldom showed a profit, was privatized and transformed into one of the world’s best and most profitable airlines. British Steel, which lost more than a billion pounds in its final years as a state concern, became the largest steel company in Europe.

By the mid-1980s, privatization was a new term in world government, and by the end of the decade more than 50 countries, on almost every continent, had set in motion privatization programs, floating loss-making public companies on the stock markets and in most cases transforming them into successful private-enterprise firms. Even left-oriented countries, which scorned the notion of privatization, began to reduce their public sector on the sly. Governments sent administrative and legal teams to Britain to study how it was done. It was perhaps Britain’s biggest contribution to practical economics in the world since Adam Smith published ‘The Wealth of Nations’.”

“Throughout history, the attachment of even the humblest people to their freedom, above all their freedom to earn their livings how and where they please, has come as an unpleasant shock to condescending ideologues. We need not suppose that the exercise of freedom is bought at the expense of any deserving class or interest — only of those with the itch to tyrannize.”

Rest in the Vine: Paul Johnson, History Man

Trump, Orban, Wilders, Milei, Bukele….

…..things are looking pretty good globally.

Feeling optimistic 👍

In lieu of finding time to listen to the entire talk/segment, are there any credible links or sources to what Milei has actually accomplished since his installment?

Listened to this on X yesterday and he is a remarkable man,

What an interesting, well read, and engaging man. He has manu interests. I will be keeping an eye on him. Thank you for posting this interview.

Listen closely what he has to say about Republicans. As he calls those that sit on the side lines. In his football analogy, if you think about it in detail. You can be active in practice, you might even be active in advertising for the football team, you may be active staying in shape, working hard at your ball control skills and even listening intently to the coach. But in the game if you are a bystander then you get gobbled up by those that are active. You’re at the leisure of the winners. This is the GOP they’re active behind the scenes in certain areas. But they’ve long been a bystander to the game of Freedom and Liberty. They’ll lose and along with it. They’ll lose liberty for their supporters and eventually themselves. The left will gobble them up.

What shocked me was that Milei seems to understand what he is doing. A politician that understands finance and economics? Inconceivable!

I’d vote for the guy just for his bad ass 70’s style sideburns alone. MSGA!

Thank you Sundance. I’ll make it my watch for this evening.

I find it unusual that Millei cites Ireland as being a bastion of economic progress. I suspect that this ‘improvement’ came from the reduction of the difficult life of small family farms. In its place, however, are multinational corporations, rampant consumer debt, the ultimate socialized ‘nanny government’, political corruption and invasive regulation from the EU.

In so many ways, the world is waking up from its hellish, nightmare-infested slumber.
Intelligence and common sense are returning to fashion.
The tranny just elected to Congress is going to have to use the men’s room because well, he’s a man.
How good is this all going to get?

Speaking of interviews…

Did any of you catch any of the Tucker interview with Greenwald? They discuss at length the IC spying on politicians for blackmail purposes. It’s right up the treehouse’s alley.

Remember when Tucker interviewed Millei and the media indicated he was a nut job that would fail miserably??

Thanks SD. The entire interview…Well worth the time to listen. I learned a lot.

Miele described the media and journalists as “professional torturers” …ha

around 1:18:05

“why I don’t trust politicians”

Thank you, Sundance!

Thanks for posting this Sundance.
I’m going to watch it tonight.
I’m a huge fan of this man..and an economics nerd.
AND I have to say, I really enjoy listening to the speeches and interviews of other world leaders.
I’ve heard some amazing Orban and Putin speeches..
I highly recommend searching them out and tuning in, you won’t regret it.

The Left has dumbed down politics in this nation to such a ridiculous degree.
It’s such a pleasure to listen to truly intelligent world leaders that are not putting on a staged, crafted, rehearsed made for TV event like we now have here.

TY, SD!

This interview was really just a gem.

I have seen some of Lex’s interviews but this is the best so far. Milei is an extraordinary thinker. I love that he Calls PDT a VIKING!

Lex is a natural interviewer. He sets up twenty questions? And retrieves the most astonishing 2-hour insight to one extraordinary man.

When a man like Milei can admit to a 180 degree turn around of his wold view beliefs in the first 5 minutes, expound on every John Locke, Hayek and 20 other free capitalism influences, I am fierce about these two hours.

Do not miss the first hour. It sets you up to who Milei really is.

Having spent a month in Argentina in 1992, the Austral was still the currency. The banks closed early on Friday, because they did not want to lose value on Monday!

Argentina is a beautiful place, so ravaged by invasion and corruption since its inception. It has everything from beautiful cities, to farmland, cattle ranches, and beautiful people!

May they prosper!

I seem to be seeing a parallel to the G7/G20 with maybe a P (Peoples’ 7/20) on the horizon!!!!

Incredible interview. President Milei is quite brilliant. Watched up until there were 31 minutes left…when he said he wanted Argemtina to join NATO. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hate to break it to him, but that is The antithesis of the freedom he so loves.

Before this interview I did not know what an anarcho -capitalist is, or that there was such a thing as an Austrian School of economics. Very smart man, but courage is his most prominent trait.

I’m still working my way through this. This is an outstanding interview. I love it that the guy said “How can we do this differently to restore prosperity to the country?”, and then went about studying history and economics. Book after book he read and studied to understand economics from various perspectives, etc. He took an intellectual deep dive. Most of our professional politicians listen to a bunch of interns and aids and lobbyists, are easily manipulated, and enjoy the financial rewards without doing anything substantive to effect our national prosperity!

He did the kind of thing I do, as just a regular American. When I don’t understand something I start studying the problem until I can get a clear picture of options to address problems. I don’t just sit there and allow myself to be tossed to and fro.

Where’s their Gold?

I’m gonna try to listen to this today. For the most part, I think Lex does good interviews: good questions and no Hannity interruptions.

I would like to see Lex interview Putin in Russian doing his own translation for us.

Good interviews of his to watch are Balaji Srinivasan (7.5 hours!! and worth every minute of time) and Michael Saylor (also listen to Saylor on The Iced Coffee Hour a few months ago – I believe June – and the PBD Podcast last week). These 3 interviews with Saylor will give a good foundation in understanding Bitcoin. I think that will be a strategy of the Trump admin: purchase Bitcoin. The most recent PBD interview discusses why this would benefit the US (it’ll keep money investing in the US).
