You WASTED time in an exclusive interview with the President Milei of Argentenia to ask him his opinion of Israel trying to bring Hamas to justice? What a waste of air time. I wanted to know more about Argentina's problems, his recent actions, and his thoughts on that. I don't CARE what he thinks of the Middle East; I want to know about HIS policies and HIS country. That is why I watched the video. DO better WTj. Stay focused on the relevant issues to the story you are reporting!
Milei is just hoping and wishing he can align himself with anyone who can bail them out at whatever the cost they need to pay all the debt they’ve defaulted on first.
Argentina's problem is the control of it by the oligarchy of the peasantry (rural society) who live by leasing hundreds of thousands of hectares of countryside that they have inherited from the year 1890, at that time, Julio Roca, gave away thousands of hectares after "the desert massacre", to all European immigrants. That class left by inheritance until the present a parasitic landowner class that lives for free WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, they only charge millionaire rents to the agricultural and livestock producers who are the ones who really produce. That Oligarchic Rural Society was the one that always put in power those who cut back on workers and the population in general, and encourage and promote the rise in food prices, in order to INCREASE THE LEASING OF LAND to producers. That Rural Society is the one who asked for the military dictatorship in the 70s, it is the one who always opposed the achievements of Peronism: Salary, Bonus, Compensation, vacations, public health, public education, development of the National industry, and PROMOTION SOCIAL. Today, the country is in the hands of satanic Zionism and the decadent USA, Argentina was left out of the BRICS and left to its fate in the face of the daily rise in food and all products. Whenever the conservative and/or liberal right governed in Argentina, after Peronism, it remained silent in the worst humanitarian crises: "'liberating' revolution", Rojas, Aramburu, Martinez de Hoz, Menem, Cavallo, De la rua, Mauricio Macri They were all the same: adjustment, removal of citizen rights, inflation and DEBT WITH THE IMF. Nestoe Kirchner was the first president who had freed Argentina for the first time since 1970 from those creditors, and the neo-liberal right returned to sink the country, and today like never before! Greetings and Hail Roma Aeterna!
He didn’t JUST say “there is not plan B”. He said: THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY, ONE PLAN (A) to do things, to do them RIGHT. There is not plan B to do it RIGHT.
@@JohnKobaRuddycan you please direct me to which services are better serviced by the government than by private entities? No matter how bad a company can do something, it can't force you to accept it and pay for it. The government can.
Unfortunately that’s not the case in Argentina, the only times public services were good enough, was when they were run by private companies. Every time the state got involved and ran the public services, they ruined it.

I can’t speak Spanish, but based on the subtitles and his tone of voice, I can tell that Milei possess real down-to-earth economic intellect. And quite frankly I’m very impressed. I hope and pray for all the best for him and Argentina!
Muchísimas gracias a todos por sus hermosas palabras, saludos desde el norte de Argentina! Thank you so much to everyone for your beautiful words,regards from the north of Argentina!
Man... beyond the memes and jokes, this guy looks serious, composed, and genuinely motivated by a real desire to change the lot of Argentina. I think that the whole world should wish them luck in this endeavour.
Argentina needs a big change. It is a rich country with a great potential to go back on track and be strong again. I love you Argentina! May God give Milei wisdom to make all the changes needed to give Argentina a new begining so deserved by all its people.
Yeah China used to be very good with a free market economy until 2018. I was living there as an economic and international public relations policy advisor for the Chengdu local government and Municipality of ChongQing but they started going off the rails and dismissing any advice given. Introduced socialist policies which eventually led back to economic stagnation. China was making USA and EU look like socialist shitholes. Have you been to one of Paddy's Bar chains there 🍀? Love that pub atmosphere.
I’m sure you’re a left winger who would never go so far as total state run economy. It always starts with healthcare and education and just pervasively spreads. In worst cases when they take over the trains, utilities and energy it’s game over.
In economics, Austrian economics all the way. If you speak Spanish read El economista callejero de Axel Kaiser. It is in English too. And read government budgets of all countries. I think that would be enough make you dizzy and feel ashamed of leftism.
check the translation. "Empezamos", like many verbs in spanish, are both present and past in the first person of the plural form. In the first minute, Milei says "cuando empezamos" which is "when we began", not "when we begin".
Argentina, if they keep up this economic development, will be a great example of the effect of free trade worldwide, I can't wait for the industrious and innovative forces of the people of Argentine to help the global economy.

@@agme8045 true. Between the peronist movement and the Kirchners, Argentina has suffered from uncontrollable populist minds who care little about the long term viable future of the country. Their plan has always been to stay in power for as long as they can which usually involves screwing the people. Typical dictatorial move. At the end of the day Castro and Chavez taught them well. Hopefully Milei can turn the tables and re-launch the true Argentinian potential
If he succeed, all Argentina industries and business will be up for sale, sooner or later the people of Argentina will no longer owns anything. This country will forever be a foreign and cooperate puppet.

People compare him to Trump, but he's clearly much more articulate, thoughtful, and knowledgeable than Trump. You may not agree with his ideas, but the man is definitely not as crazy as the videos of him online portray him as. Also commendable that he respects Margaret Thatcher right after stating Argentina has disagreements with the UK over the Falklands. The mark of a wise person is the ability to respect a rival for the things they do right. Not saying I think Thatcher is right, only that Milei does despite being on the Argentinian side of the Falklands issue.
The comparison to trump stems from him running a populist right winged campaign. No one is as ignorant as trump. He has no comparison in that department.
Dijo que no iba a sacar ningún subsidio y que no iba a negociar con china. Apenas empezó su gobierno mandó una ley para que las empresas chinas que tributen en su país no tributen en argentina, literalmente que operen gratis. Además empezó a cortar subsidios poniendo más el peso de los recortes en los ciudadanos que en "la casta"
But it could even be an more older hair style. Look at the pictures from argentine generals who fought for Argentina's freedom against the soldiers of the european royal family from 1810 to 1825. Still half of western Europe is actually kneeling before them.
I'm afraid I'm not well informed when it comes to Chile's economic history. What I do know is unbridled socialism programs have tended to snuff out economic growth in nearly every country where those programs are implemented. They may be well intentioned, but a free market with decent regulatory oversight is the only proven model of growth, widespread prosperity, and delivers superior value for goods and services. I'm rooting for Argentina because something has to change, not sure why you write a snarky comment... but that's the left these days.
A free market with no regulatory oversight whatsoever and copious amounts of lobbying by huge publicly traded corporations in detriment of the rest of the people is what we actually see. Prosperity has never, since after WW2, been such a far away concept for most people and all nations that tried collectively freeing themselves of imperialism and getting away from outside political powers have been met with either brute force or pure ostracism. I wrote a snarky comment because here in latin america (And especially in brazil) we have tried time and again to replicate whatever this caricature of a man is trying to do and we infalibly get to see the same results. We don't need more of the same things that led us to this mess in the first place. Latin america was created by people that only wanted to profit and leave nothing behind. We stand to gain absolutely nothing by playing their game, as our nations were created by completely different means and purposes. Even if this man does everything he sets out to do, he will never achieve his goals, because we don't have the same structures in place, and will never have. And the fact that you can't see these obvious facts is just the right wing these days....@@nicholasjohnson778

Yes! Argentina is a rich country. It will take a lot of hard work, but certainly it can be again a country of opportunities and better life for its people. I am from Uruguay and I love the argentinian people. Greetings from California! ❤
Sensible guy, he is building allies across the west and giving the argentine people a way to shore up their savings in a stable (comparatively) currency. Most argentines are already saving in dollars and bitcoin so in a way he is simply formalizing what has been going on behind the scenes.
As you pointed out, everyone here already saves in USD, the issue is what we get paid in. The peso devalues every day, and that means our income decreases at the same rate.
Wrong, he is everything but sensible, for this guy we are a number on an Excel. He made a math to see what he considers to be right to the economy and he doesnt care if that math implies people begging for food, thousands of workers laid off, leave the national scientific system without money, etc. Is not easy to understand Argentinian culture but believe me that this guy is everything but sensible
@@Festre59 as opposed to 90% inflation, which is a sinking ship that will lead to everything you just highlighted. Personally I lean more socialist for things like education/healthcare/housing, but even I can admit that someone needs to pay for these benefits as they are benefits afforded by a wealthy society not one that has collapsed.
in every speech he has made he speaks as an economist in that he is formally trained .He states his objective and breaks down the process in a manner that is mechanical not political.He states what’s he is going to do ,gives you a history of the objective .Then follows with his next step.
Simply stating a plan is one thing, making it actually work is another, so far he talks a great deal, but has done little, and to many are treating his words as gospel, without realizing that financial policy is both complicated and nuanced. @@jagv12m

I really hope he does well. He seems to line up with me in many ways. Very interesting that he can be mature and respect Margaret Thatcher on one hand and still mention disagreements about The Falklands on the other hand.
No entiendo por qué el Wall Street Journal no subtitula "Falklands/Malvinas" en vez de "Falklands", más allá de que el Reino Unido y varios países reconocen sólo a las Malvinas como "Falklands", sigue estando el territorio en disputa y debería llamarse de ambas formas para evitar el sesgo lo más posible.

@felixsaenz4586im from Argentina too, i agree one hundred percent with you, the amazing thing is that he is not alone, the Vice President and a lot of ministers are in the same page with the president, specially the minister of justice, who is trying to change the penal code for better, improving not only the country's criminal system, but also, taking care of the victims of crimes, but as you said, they will be remembered for their actions, not their words
People want somebody genuine. They got it. That doesnt mean he is right about what he is doing. He talks from a very sincere point of view, which confuses people, making them believe his way is the right one. You wont find it here, but there is legislation with more than 300 articles, a decreet of emergency that was practically made by all the monopolies that govern our country since forever. He sits with the most despicable people. Words can be painted nice. Consequences are showing the disaster this is gonna be, and I hope others can learn from that, if they dont follow these media liers.
It looks genuine but some of his recent actions and/or the surrounding people are not being either genuine or keeping the promises he made during the campaign. It's very unfortunate, this is our last chance to defeat communism, and if he continues like that it will be the end of both his government and our nation. I hope he can gain some power and start making better choices. Otherwise it will be super hard for him to last longer than a year.
Or you can do what Japan did after WW2 and add protectionism around key industries (cars, robotics), dominate those, and remove protectionism around others.
Argentina has had protectionism over “key industries” for decades and decades, and look at them now. It doesn’t work, it reduces competition incentives and distorts the structure of where resources are invested into the economy, making them go to protected industries (otherwise, the resources would have gone to the most productive use, and the government doesn’t know that, only the market.
