Milei, in an\u2063 interview with Ben Shapiro, emphasizes the importance of \u2062embracing Western ideals and rekindling Argentina&#8217;s historical commitment to freedom and capitalism. \u200bHe aims to steer Argentina away from socialism towards prosperity and renewed optimism.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The recently-elected president of Argentina, Javier Milei, is turning to the values of America\u2019s Founding Fathers to save his country, he tells Ben Shapiro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have decided to embrace the values of the West,\u201d Milei explains in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/not-a-fan-trump-blasts-meghan-markle-for-royal-family-racism-claims-mocks-her-rumored-presidential-run\/\" title=\"\u2018Not A Fan\u2019: Trump Blasts Meghan Markle For Royal Family Racism Claims, Mocks Her Rumored Presidential Run\">wide-ranging interview<\/a> with Shapiro, Editor Emeritus of The Daily Wire. \u201cAnd embracing the values of the West means embracing the Founding Fathers of the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milei explains that the original Argentinian Constitution from the 1800s was fashioned after the U.S. Constitution, and the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen that was implemented, Argentina ended up becoming a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/book-biden-let-65-afghan-terrorists-into-america-after-disastrous-withdrawal-just-look-at-what-theyd-done\/\" title=\"Book: Biden Allowed 65 Afghan Terrorists into the US Post-Withdrawal - Observe Their Actions\">leading world power<\/a> after having been a backwater,\u201d the president said, explaining that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-gamestop-saga-shows-system-is-not-the-capitalism-we-were-promised-not-even-close\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: GameStop Saga Shows System Is 'Not the Capitalism We Were Promised -- Not Even Close'\">country began<\/a> its decline only once Left-leaning and socialist ideologies took control. His triumph, Milei believes, is an opportunity for Argentina to return to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-full-uluru-statement-talks-about-grievance-and-struggle-not-reconciliation\/\" title=\"The Uluru Statement focuses on grievance and struggle, not reconciliation.\">original values<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w11seq\">CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE SUNDAY SPECIAL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe need to embrace the values of freedom, which are ideas in the United States \u2014 even though in recent times they may have been degraded and some might have walked off the path,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milei is a strong supporter of strengthening relations between Argentina and the United States, as well as other countries that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tell-all-book-exposes-chinese-government-corruption-at-the-highest-levels\/\" title=\"Tell-all Book Exposes Chinese Government Corruption At The Highest Levels\">embrace freedom<\/a> such as Israel. (Milei told Shapiro that Moses is the \u201cgreatest freedom hero of all time,\u201d and that Israel still embodies Moses\u2019 spirit.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An economist and politician, Milei assumed the presidency in December 2023 after running a media-savvy campaign focused on promoting capitalism, cutting government spending, and saving Argentina from decline. Milei emphasized that, despite the dire economic situation in Argentina, there is incredible optimism in Argentina that his policies will work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c70% of Argentines are convinced that we are going to put an end to inflation,\u201d Milei said. \u201cWhen you use one of these word clouds and ask people about their spontaneous feelings in Argentina, now, the word that most often comes up is hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To create support and excite young people, Milei said his political rallies were modeled after rock concerts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey were political rallies, but the format was more like a Rolling Stones concert, as I like the Rolling Stones,\u201d he said. \u201cOne of the wonderful things is that at these rallies we had stands like a concert, with T-shirts, memorabilia, and different items. And there were stands with books.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former college lecturer says he realizes it\u2019s not normal for a politician to captivate the attention of 20,000 to 30,000 people while speaking about economist Friedrich\u00a0Hayek at a rally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSomething was clearly on the way,\u201d he told Shapiro, adding that he would tell himself he was just teaching a class about economics before rallies to gain confidence, because he was in such disbelief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milei said he began to believe during his campaign that Argentinian society was \u201cmaturing\u201d and ready to discard socialism for capitalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen you instead embrace the ideas of freedom, what happens is that you are elevated as a human being,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w11seq\">CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE SUNDAY SPECIAL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Shapiro asked Milei how he balances being an eloquent economist with the public image of someone with a chainsaw cutting away government bureaucracy, Milei compared himself to a soccer goalie, a \u201cthankless\u201d and \u201ctough position\u201d that requires a man with a \u201cvery bold personality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOut of the 11 players on the team, the goalie is the only one that can use hands, and is the one who dresses differently. The goalkeeper also trains on their own,\u201d he said. \u201cUnlike the others, when they make mistakes, they are goals. It\u2019s a very thankless position, because when a goalkeeper saves a goal, it\u2019s tantamount to scoring a goal. When a forward scores a goal, it\u2019s a goal. It\u2019s a very tough position to be in and it requires a very bold personality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He cited how important that was when he was being\u00a0 \u201cviolently attacked\u201d by the Argentinian media during his race, including smears on his personal life and even his pets. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe gutter of the universe was in the media in Argentina, which was subservient to two huge party structures in order to destroy an individual,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that strength that I had as a goalkeeper helped me stand, in addition to the spiritual support I got from my sister and my rabbi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milei, claiming his popularity has grown, said if a run-off election were held today, he would win by an even larger margin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe were brave enough to tell the truth, and that\u2019s why the political caste is at a loss,\u201d Milei said. \u201cThey always deceived people, and they\u2019ve always told them what they thought they wanted to hear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe said to the people what we had to do in order to rise up from the bottom of the pit,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w11seq\">full interview on DailyWire+<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Argentina&#8217;s newly-elected president, Javier Milei, discusses with Ben Shapiro his country&#8217;s embrace of the principles of America&#8217;s Founding Fathers. &#8220;We are committed to adopting Western values,&#8221; Milei shares in an expansive conversation with Shapiro, former Editor of The Daily Wire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3030,"featured_media":2220124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/04\/img_2136_720.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2220123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/04\/img_2136_720.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3030"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2220123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2220124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2220123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2220123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2220123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
