Javier Milei's Libertarian Policies Win Shock Election
This week, editors Peter Suderman, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch are joined by associate editor Liz Wolfe to discuss Argentine President Javier Milei’s strong midterm showing and what it suggests about the durability of his libertarian reform agenda. They debate whether the results vindicate Trump’s earlier currency-swap bailout, how Milei’s spending-cut program is playing out, and what lessons his success may hold for other governments confronting inflation.
The editors then turn to Washington, where Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods followed an Ontario ad featuring Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs. They also discuss the continued U.S. bombings in Venezuela, and the administration’s alleged involvement in the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, along with the symbolism of replacing the East Wing with a ballroom. The panel considers the rise of socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City and why his ascension could have national significance. Finally, a listener asks if protests like the recent “No Kings” rallies accomplish anything.
