Podcast appearances and mentions of Javier Milei

Chile lleva tres meses sumido en campaña electoral de cara a las presidenciales del próximo domingo 16 de noviembre. Ese día se celebrará la primera vuelta, pero todo indica que habrá balotaje porque ninguno de los favoritos consigue superar el 30% de intención de voto en las encuestas. La segunda vuelta, de ser necesaria, está prevista para el 14 de diciembre. Estas elecciones ponen fin al mandato de Gabriel Boric, que en 2021 ganó en segunda vuelta a José Antonio Kast por 10 puntos de diferencia. Aquellos comicios parecían cerrar el ciclo que se abrió con el estallido social de 2019, pero no fue así. Los ecos de aquellas protestas que paralizaron el país durante meses duraron hasta el rechazo del plebiscito constitucional hace dos años, cuando Boric se encontraba ya a mitad de mandato. Eso fue lo que marcó el final de este periodo tan convulso en la historia reciente de Chile. La popularidad de Boric es relativamente baja, pero un tercio de los chilenos aprueban de forma muy entusiasta su gestión. La Constitución de 1980 le impide la reelección inmediata, por lo que busca continuidad en Jeannette Jara, una candidata que hasta abril fue su ministra de trabajo. En Chile el voto es obligatorio desde hace tres años, lo que anticipa una alta participación. La campaña dio comienzo en agosto, ha sido muy intensa y el panorama político se presenta realmente fragmentado. Hay ocho candidatos y cuatro grandes temas de debate: la inseguridad, los problemas económicos, la inmigración y las reformas del gobierno Boric. La inseguridad lidera con mucho las preocupaciones de los chilenos. En torno al 80% considera que el país es inseguro y solo el 39% se siente tranquilo caminando de noche por la calle. Aunque Chile sigue siendo más seguro que la mayor parte de países de Sudamérica, el crimen organizado ha crecido en los últimos años. Todos los candidatos proponen mano dura (cárceles, policía y leyes más duras), un terreno claramente favorable a la derecha. En economía, la inflación del 4% y el desempleo del 8% es también motivo de preocupación junto a las listas de espera hospitalarias, la vivienda y la corrupción, pero el eje central del debate es la delincuencia. Jeannette Jara representa al oficialismo. Lidera las encuestas con un 25-30% de esperanza de voto y ha prometido acabar con el secreto bancario y un ingreso mínimo de 750.000 pesos (unos 700 euros) para familias vulnerables. Tras ella hay otros tres candidatos que podrían pasar a segunda vuelta: Evelyn Matthei, alcaldesa de Providencia y exministra de Sebastián Piñera, de centro derecha, José Antonio Kast, líder del Partido Republicano, de derecha conservadora y el nacional libertario Johannes Kaiser, diputado y hermano del Axel Kaiser, que se estrena como candidato con una receta que recuerda mucho a Javier Milei y a la derecha identitaria europea. A la primera vuelta la izquierda llega formando un bloque tras la candidatura de Jeannette Jara. La derecha, por el contrario, está dividida entre Matthei, Kast y Kaiser. Las encuestas apuntan a una segunda vuelta prácticamente segura. Lo más probable es que Jara pase sin problema. La pregunta es saber si Kast o Kaiser competirán con ella. El 14 de diciembre saldremos de dudas, pero sólo después una campaña que se promete muy caliente tras la criba del domingo.

Durante meses se ha criticado al gobierno de Javier Milei por no acumular suficientes reservas de dólares. Pero Milei ya ha desvelado cómo pretender solucionarlo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Der argentinische Präsident Javier Milei tritt gerne mit einer Kettensäge auf. Damit will der Ökonom den Staat zurechtstutzen, Bürokratie abbauen, Ausgaben senken und so das wirtschaftlich angeschlagene Land reformieren. Die Reformen sind schmerzhaft, trotzdem gewann Mileis Partei die jüngsten Parlamentswahlen. Eine Reformstau haben wir in Deutschland auch, aber hier ist unsere Regierung eher „mit einer Laubsäge“ unterwegs, meint Markus Lanz. Sollten wir etwa mehr Milei wagen? „Immer wenn der Karren im Dreck steckt, wollen die Leute radikale Lösungen“, meint Richard David Precht. Aber funktionieren politische Radikallösungen auch auf Dauer? Was sagen Ökonomen wie Milton Friedman dazu, auf den sich der argentinische Präsident so gern beruft?

Resumen de noticias de LA NACION de la mañana del jueves 6 de noviembre de 2025

Columbia, Harvard, UCLA, Brown, Stanford, MIT... Depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche, les universités américaines sont la cible de Donald Trump. Interdiction des programmes de diversité, d'équité et d'inclusion, révisions des contenus pédagogiques, censure de certains mots, fin des visas à des étudiants et chercheurs étrangers, menaces sur les avantages fiscaux, suppression ou gel des subventions... Le président américain multiplie les injonctions et mesures contre les campus qu'il accuse d'être des bastions du wokisme, où l'antisémitisme prospèrerait. Dernière tentative de s'immiscer dans la gouvernance des universités : un «pacte pour l'excellence académique» qui implique notamment de ne pas dépasser les 15% d'étudiants étrangers en échange de fonds fédéraux pour 9 universités. Dans les campus, la résistance s'organise au nom de la liberté académique. Mais cette bataille est bien culturelle pour Donald Trump qui affiche son mépris des élites universitaires. Les universités américaines sont de véritables moteurs de la croissance et de l'innovation, avec leurs missions éducatives et leurs gigantesques labos de recherche, irrigués par les talents du monde entier. Mais peuvent-elles gagner la bataille du savoir contre la croisade culturelle MAGA ?  Avec : • Vincent Pons, économiste, professeur d'Économie à la Harvard Business School et cofondateur d'Explain • Laurie Bereau, maîtresse de conférence en Civilisation des États-Unis à l'Université Rennes 2. En première partie de l'émission, l'école autour du Monde. Direction l'Argentine, avec notre correspondant Théo Conscience. Depuis le mois septembre, la chaîne de télévision publique pour enfants Paka paka diffuse Tuttle twins, un dessin animé importé des États-Unis qui promeut l'idéologie ultralibérale. Un nouvel outil dans l'arsenal du président Javier Milei au service de sa bataille culturelle.    Programmation musicale : ► For My People - Joey Bada$$ ► Trop pressé - Apoutchou National ft.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Cryptogaucho to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, crypto, and Argentina's emerging role as a new frontier for innovation and governance. The conversation ranges from OpenAI's partnership with Sur Energy and the Stargate project to Argentina's RIGI investment framework, Milei's libertarian reforms, and the potential of space-based data centers and new jurisdictions beyond Earth. Cryptogaucho also reflects on Argentina's tech renaissance, its culture of resilience born from hyperinflation, and the rise of experimental communities like Prospera and Noma Collective. Follow him on X at @CryptoGaucho.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop opens with Cryptogaucho from Mendoza, talking about Argentina, AI, crypto, and the energy around new projects like Sur Energy and Satellogic.05:00 – They dive into Argentina's growing space ambitions, spaceport plans, and how jurisdiction could extend “upward” through satellites and data sovereignty.10:00 – The talk shifts to global regulation, bureaucracy, and why Argentina's uncertainty may become its strength amid red tape in the US and China.15:00 – Discussion of OpenAI's Stargate project, AI infrastructure in Patagonia, and the geopolitical tension between state and private innovation.20:00 – Cryptogaucho explains the “cepo” currency controls, the black market for dollars, and crypto's role in preserving economic freedom.25:00 – They unpack RIGI investment incentives, Argentina's new economic rules, and efforts to attract major projects like data centers and nuclear reactors.30:00 – Stewart connects hyperinflation to resilience and abundance in the AI era, while Cryptogaucho reflects on chaos, adaptability, and optimism.35:00 – The conversation turns philosophical: nation-states, community networks, Prospera, and the rise of new governance models.40:00 – They explore Argentina's global position, soft power, and its role as a frontier of Western ideals.45:00 – Final reflections on AI in space, data centers beyond Earth, and freedom of information as humanity's next jurisdiction.Key InsightsArgentina as a new technological frontier: The episode positions Argentina as a nation uniquely situated between chaos and opportunity—a place where political uncertainty and flexible regulation create fertile ground for experimentation. Stewart Alsop and Cryptogaucho argue that this openness, combined with a culture forged in crisis, allows Argentina to become a testing ground for new models of governance, technology, and sovereignty.The convergence of AI, energy, and geography: OpenAI's deal with Sur Energy and plans for a data center in Patagonia signal how Argentina's geography and resources are becoming integral to the global AI infrastructure. Cryptogaucho highlights the symbolic and strategic power of Argentina serving as a “southern node” for the intelligence economy.Economic reinvention through RIGI: The RIGI framework offers tax and regulatory advantages to major investors, marking a turning point in Argentina's attempt to attract stable, high-value industries such as server farms, mining, and biotech. It represents a pragmatic balance between libertarian reform and national development.Crypto and currency freedom: Cryptogaucho recounts how Argentina's crypto community arose from necessity during hyperinflation and currency controls. Bitcoin and stablecoins became lifelines for developers and entrepreneurs locked out of traditional banking systems, teaching the world about decentralized resilience.AI abundance and human adaptation: The discussion draws parallels between hyperinflation's unpredictability and the overwhelming speed of AI progress. Stewart suggests that Argentina's social adaptability, born from scarcity and instability, may prepare its citizens for a future defined by abundance and rapid technological flux.Network states and new governance: The conversation explores Prospera, Noma Collective, and the idea of city-scale governance networks. These experiments, blending blockchain, law, and community, are seen as prototypes for post-nation-state organization—where trust and culture matter more than geography.Space as the next jurisdiction: The episode ends with an exploration of space as a new legal and economic domain. Satellites, data centers, and orbital communication networks could redefine sovereignty, creating “data islands” beyond Earth where information flows freely under new kinds of governance—a vision of humanity's next frontier.

Donald Trump y Xi Jinping se reunieron el pasado jueves en Busan, Corea del Sur, durante la cumbre de APEC tras seis años y cuatro meses sin verse. Aprovecharon el encuentro para acordar una tregua temporal de un año en su guerra comercial, sin alcanzar un acuerdo formal, pero reduciendo algunas contramedidas mutuas. Esto deja la relación comercial entre EEUU y China ligeramente peor que hace un año, aunque más tensa de lo que sería deseable. La mayoría de los detalles provienen de Trump, que habló con periodistas en el Air Force One de regreso a Washington y publicó un extenso post en su red social. El comunicado chino fue más breve, pero confirmó algunos puntos mencionados por Trump. Ambas partes pactaron pausar nuevas hostilidades comerciales durante un año dejando abierta la renegociación de aranceles. Estados Unidos reducirá en 10 puntos porcentuales sus aranceles a China —a cambio de la promesa de Xi de perseguir la producción de precursores de fentanilo—, quedando el arancel efectivo promedio en el 47 % para la mayoría de productos chinos. Es alto, superior a los de otros socios comerciales de EEUU, pero inferior a los aranceles punitivos de hace unos meses. China reanudará las compras de soja estadounidense, un alivio sin duda para el sector agrícola que había perdido a uno de sus mejores clientes. El secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, anunció que China adquirirá 12 millones de toneladas métricas este año y un mínimo de 25 millones anuales durante los próximos tres. Aunque trae cierto respiro, los volúmenes están por debajo de ventas pasadas y no representan un retorno a la normalidad. En energía Trump aseguró que China comprará petróleo y gas provenientes de Alaska, donde hay un proyecto en desarrollo aún no construido. El comunicado chino solo menciona cooperación en energía sin detalles específicos. Los analistas lo ven como un gesto político, similar a otros compromisos obtenidos mediante amenazas comerciales a la UE y Corea del Sur. Sobre el tema de las tierras raras, es sabido que China emplea su dominio como arma desde hace tiempo. Se han comprometido a suspender durante un año los controles de exportación anunciados el pasado de 9 de octubre, pero no a las restricciones previas ni se eliminan las licencias de exportación. China, en definitiva, mantiene esta palanca estratégica. Ambas partes suspenderán las tasas portuarias impuestas recientemente, pero eso es más una concesión estadounidense, ya que sus buques apenas operan en puertos chinos. No se discutió nada relativo a los chips de Nvidia. EEUU mantiene los controles de exportación por motivos de seguridad nacional. Tampoco se mencionó el asunto de Taiwán, pero si hablaron de Ucrania. Trump cree que China, principal apoyo de Rusia, puede ayudar a traer la paz. En esencia es un apretón de manos, no un acuerdo definitivo. Los detalles son vagos y reversibles. La vaguedad implica fragilidad. Hoy por hoy EEUU depende más de China, especialmente con las tierras raras. Los aranceles son la principal herramienta de Trump, pero ya no es tan efectiva como antes. Si Trump ha accedido a relajar las tensiones comerciales se debe sin duda a que quiere evitar problemas económicos en pleno año electoral;. La asimetría es clara: Xi Jinping no tiene que rendir cuentas, Trump si. Las guerras comerciales son una mala idea contra un adversario poderoso. China decidió contraatacar y Trump subestimó su capacidad de respuesta. Librarlas sin aliados es un error. Sin ellos y sin una estrategia diferente este armisticio durará poco.

In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by Kezia McKeague, Regional Director for Latin America at McLarty Associates and IIF's Martín Castellano, Head of Latin America Research, to unpack the results and implications of Argentina's recent midterm elections. The conversation explores President Javier Milei's strengthened political mandate, the role of U.S. financial support in shaping the electoral outcome, and how markets have responded. Kezia and Martín also discuss the short- and medium-term risks to Milei's economic stabilization plan, including persistent inflation, a widening current account deficit, and pressure on real wages and growth. Finally, the discussion considers whether this moment marks a turning point for reform in Argentina and broader Latin America. This IIF Podcast was hosted by Clay Lowery, Executive Vice President, Research and Policy, with production and research contributions from Christian Klein, Digital Graphics and Production Associate and Miranda Silverman, Senior Program Assistant.

The pollsters thought it was going to be close. It wasn't Argentinian president Javier Milei has been given a vote of confidence to continue his bold slashing of the socialist state. Does this bode well for the US Midterms?

On this new episode of Unredacted Tonight with Lee Camp, we unpack U.S. actions in the Caribbean and Latin America, asking tough questions about reported strikes on small boats near Venezuela and the narratives that follow. We also revisit public comments by U.S. officials about Venezuelan resources and explore what those statements might mean when viewed alongside real-world events—all through a comedic, media-literacy lens.Next, we turn to Argentina: What do bold austerity moves under President Javier Milei look like on the ground? We examine market reactions, debt worries, and why major figures—from business leaders to former U.S. officials—can say very different things about the country's outlook. Finally, we zoom out to the Middle East and global security debates—media framing, intelligence narratives, and how televised conversations can shape public perception. Lee spotlights how conflicting claims, selective statistics, and shifting definitions can transform complex conflicts into soundbites, and why that matters for everyday viewers who just want the facts behind the fireworks.If you enjoy independent comedy, media criticism, and fact-checking with a fearless edge, hit Subscribe, tap the bell, and share this episode.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Argentina, South Korea, Japan, Ireland and the Occupied West Bank.For decades, Argentina's cycle of boom and bust seemed endless, but two years ago, a chainsaw-wielding, self-styled 'anarcho capitalist' called Javier Milei promised a way out of all that.

Darrell Castle speaks to the best and worst of times as a good description of our times, today. Transcription / Notes THE BEST AND WORST OF TIMES Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 31st day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. Yes, this is Halloween day, a traditional spooky, bad news day, but I have decided to use this spooky day and borrow a bit from the classic novel written by Charles Dickens entitled “A Tale of Two Cities”.  Mr. Dickens opened his novel with “It Was the Best of Times; It Was the Worst of Times” and that is a pretty good description of our times, today. Dickens wrote those words in 1859 as the title and opening of his novel which was set in London and Paris during the French Revolution. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity.” That sounds so much like today because the more things change the more they stay the same and as we all know technology constantly changes but human nature does not. The setting of Dickens' novel was an age of radical opposites that faced each other much like today, but today they are not cities but political divisions. Here in present-day America, we have opposing forces and contrasting views everywhere you look. In New York City, for example, there seems to be a very good possibility that the people of that once great city will elect a man named Zohran Mamdani as mayor in the upcoming election. The man is often described as a communist as well as an Islamic fundamentalist at the same time. Those two terms are, of course, contradictory because communism was founded and still is based on atheism while Islam is obviously based on a belief in God. He does seem to have some radical ideas based on economic theories which have been failures everywhere they have been tried. He is not the first to suggest that public transportation be free without any corresponding explanation of where he would get the money to pay for it. See folks, nothing government does is ever free because someone always pays and the politicians want the people to give them the authority to decide who they will steal the money from. I suppose that is true democracy whereby the mob is empowered to loot anyone not voting with the majority. Once again it proves the wisdom of the founders who believed in individual rather than collective rights. Just wind the clock back a century or so and you will find the words of Thomas Paine who wrote a revolutionary pamphlet called Common Sense. One article or series of articles in the pamphlet was called The Crises. He began that section with the words, “These Are the Times That Try Men's Souls” and that phrase seems more appropriate today than ever. That phrase is especially true here on Halloween Day as many vitally important things hang in the balance such as NYC and whether that city will ever be great again or whether it will continue its slide into the abyss. So, Mr. Mamdani is an example of the worst of times. The best of times is an amazing contrast whereby the people of Argentina, after decades of socialist experiments, which left that once powerhouse of an economy in a state of collapse decided to change course. What could be more wonderful than the joy of seeing voters reject the allure of socialism for the second time. Argentina's president, Javier Milei, has led his party to a landslide victory in the elections held last Sunday. Radical spending cuts and free-market reforms defined the two years of his presidency and the people of Argentina have endorsed his efforts and decided to continue the road to recovery. That's the very good news from Argentina. The bad news or at least I have decided to see it as bad news is that Donald Trump agreed to extend a $40 billion loan to Argentina which has defaulted three times since the year 2000.

PREVIEW: Argentina's Economic Reforms and Hesitation of Foreign Investors Guest: Mary Anastasia Grady Mary Anastasia Grady discusses Argentina, noting that despite successes including deregulation, tax cuts, and reduction of government size, foreign investment is not materializing. Investors remain on the sidelines due to concerns that the peso is overvalued and capital controls exist, creating uncertainty about when they can retrieve their money. This suggests President Javier Milei is holding back from implementing necessary additional economic reforms to attract international capital. 1930 ARGENTINA VS USA

Tommy and Ben discuss President Trump's visit to Asia: the weird dancing, his meetings with the new prime minister of Japan and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and his annoying victory laps when Trump “solves” problems he himself created. They also unpack two recent examples of blatant government corruption, including Trump's pardon of a crypto billionaire and an Army contract to purchase drones from a company “advised” by Donald Trump Jr. Then they discuss the “next generation” of the Pentagon press corps (one filled with MAGA sycophants), a rebel group's capture of a major city in Sudan and how the UAE is fueling the Sudanese civil war, more US strikes against alleged drug traffickers in the Pacific, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's announcement that he has ordered “forceful strikes” on Hamas and what it means for the Gaza ceasefire agreement, a legislative election win for President Javier Milei in Argentina, an anti-tariff ad in Canada that invoked Ronald Reagan, and Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau making their relationship official. Then Tommy speaks with former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul about his new book Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

SHOW 10-25-27 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PAKISTAN FIRST HOUR 9-915 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 915-930 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan.

Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 930-945 Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 945-1000 Iran Defies West on Nuclear Program Despite Loss of Key Scientists. Jonathan Schanzer discusses Iran's defiant nuclear program, noting the procurement of air defense systems from Russia and China is debatable. A major setback has been the loss of nuclear scientists due to targeted assassinations. Iran is heavily supporting the Houthis (now a full proxy), sending ballistic missile components and IRGC officials to help assemble them in Yemen. Snapback sanctions' impact on Iran's partnerships with Russia and China remains uncertain. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions.

John Hardie analyzes Russia's reported successful test of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile. This test is likely aimed at pressuring the US into arms control talks, rather than impacting the Ukraine battlefield. On the ground, the situation in Pokrovsk has deteriorated due to Russian infiltration. The US has shifted from diplomacy to pressure, imposing sanctions on major Russian oil companies. 1045-1100 Anti-Hamas Clans and Militias Challenge Hamas's Control in Gaza. Ahmad Sharawi discusses the challenge to Hamas's power in Gaza by anti-Hamas clans and militias, some allegedly backed by Israel. Groups like the Dughmush clan and Yasser Abu Shabbab's Popular Forces contest Hamas's control and monopolization of aid. Hamas deters these rivals, labeling them "collaborators," as Gaza fragments into controlled pockets or "bantustans." THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Poised to De-escalate Trade Dispute with Trump. Conrad Black analyzes the US-Canada trade dispute ignited by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's ad criticizing US tariffs. Black notes that while Ford was "cheeky," President Trump overreacted by suspending negotiations and mandating 10% tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney, seen as a diplomatic and well-informed figure, is expected to de-escalate the issue and work toward a reasonable agreement at the upcoming Asian conference. 1115-1130 AQAP Targets Anti-Houthi Forces Amidst Cooperation with Houthis and Iran. Bridget Toomey reports on AQAP's attack on anti-Houthi Yemeni soldiers. AQAP and the Houthis have an informal non-aggression agreement, sometimes cooperating on weapon smuggling. Iran supplies advanced arms to the Houthis and has maintained a relationship with al-Qaeda leadership for two decades. This cooperation, despite sectarian differences, aims to destabilize Yemen and the region. 1130-1145 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215    US Pressure on Xi Jinping May Lead to Release of Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon is encouraged that President Trump plans to raise the fate of persecuted publisher Jimmy Lai with Xi Jinping. Simon believes China must resolve the "Jimmy Lai problem" but will likely demand concessions, such as sanctions relief. Lai's release, potentially via a humanitarian or commuted sentence route, would pave the way for the release of hundreds of other Hong Kong dissidents. 1215-1230 Trump's Tariff Policy Gains Victory in Trade Truce with China. Alan Tonelson assesses the US-China trade truce, viewing it as a major victory for President Trump's tariff policies. China agreed to delay rare earth export controls and buy US farm goods. This move is seen as desperate by Xi Jinping, whose economy is undermined by US technology curbs. China's predatory practices defined the relationship until Trump decided to use American leverage. 1230-1245 vUS Tariffs Drive Canada Toward Greater Economic Integration with China. Charles Burton discusses how US tariff aggression, fueled by Premier Doug Ford quoting Ronald Reagan to criticize US trade policy, is pushing Canada toward China. The uncertainty over Trump's response makes negotiating difficult, prompting speculation Canada may renew free trade talks with Beijing, remove investment restrictions, and possibly join the Belt and Road Initiative. 1245-100 AM Trump Demands Higher Defense Spending from New Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi. Lance Gatling reports on President Trump's visit to Tokyo and his meeting with the new Prime Minister, Takaichi. Trump is expected to demand increased defense spending. Takaichi plans to accelerate doubling the defense budget to 2% of GDP. A major concern is Trump asking Japan to stop buying energy from Russia, which supplies Japanese LNG. Takaichi enjoys surprisingly strong domestic support.

Milei's Victory in Argentina, Its Influence on Venezuela, and Trump's Role in Latin America Alejandro Pina Esclusa Alejandro Pina Esclusa discusses how Javier Milei's success in Argentina, fueled by economic growth and a cultural battle against gender ideology and climate alarmism, models a path for the Venezuelan opposition and Latin America's right-wing movements. Milei's victory demonstrates that freedom-focused policies can resonate with voters seeking to escape socialist regimes. Donald Trump's vocal support for Milei helped him gain votes, positioning Trump as an increasingly influential leader across the continent and offering hope to Venezuelan exiles and opposition figures fighting the Maduro regime.

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Argentina's strong midterm results for President Javier Milei, Zohran Mamdani's disturbing comments on 9/11, and Gavin Newsom pretending to be mulling over a 2028 presidential bid.First, they cheer the impressive election results in Argentina, which give President Milei a stronger hand in the legislature and more time for his free-market reforms to show results. Jim also points out why this is a win for the U.S., especially Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent.Next, they shudder as New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani says suggests Muslims in the city have been treated poorly, including his aunt who allegedly stopped riding the the subway after 9/11 because she didn't feel safe wearing her hijab. Multiple reports cast serious doubt on the veracity of his story but Jim says Mamdani's comments seek to shift the narrative on who the real perpetrators and real victims were on 9/11. Will New York voters care?Finally, they chuckle as California Gov. Gavin Newsom claims he'll “think about” running for president in 2028 after the 2026 midterms. His every move suggests he decided to run a long time ago, but Jim says he has one big problem.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.
