00:00:00.000
Well, another major victory against radical far-left politics happened last night in the West.
00:00:21.520
After decades of socialist rule, in what is being described as a major political upset,
00:00:26.680
Argentinians elected Javier Mille, a self-described anarcho-capitalist,
00:00:31.520
as their new president to try and change the country's fortunes.
00:00:35.100
Argentinians are living through an historic fiscal crisis right now.
00:00:44.400
And according to Reuters last year, close to 40% of Argentinians were living below the poverty line.
00:00:50.560
And as you can see, Argentinians are pretty excited about Mille's victory.
00:00:56.680
Argentina is just the latest country in the West to reject far-left socialist policies
00:01:05.280
European countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, and Italy have rejected socialism and embraced nationalism.
00:01:11.040
And last month in New Zealand, the radical far-left Labour Party was ousted
00:01:17.400
Now that leaves Justin Trudeau as one of the remaining faces of that mid-2010s far-left progressive political wave.
00:01:23.660
And according to the latest public data available, when Canadians finally do head to the polls,
00:01:29.080
it looks increasingly likely that Justin Trudeau's Liberals are set for an historic defeat at the ballot box.
00:01:35.560
And the Canadian legacy media reaction to Javier Mille's victory last night
00:01:39.320
tells you all you need to know about what the Liberals in Ottawa are thinking of their fortunes
00:01:46.320

and the common question for the episode is this.
00:01:52.660
Is this the beginning of the end for radical far-left politics in the West?
00:01:57.500
Let me know in the comments and let's get into it.
00:01:59.480
In case anyone hasn't noticed, Argentina's new president is not a big fan of the socialists
00:02:03.820
who have run his country into the ground over the past few decades.
00:02:06.720
A surdo de mierda no le podĂ©s dar ni un milĂmetro.
00:02:10.480
¿Pero me podés definir surdo de mierda que no lo entiendo?
00:02:12.360
Todos los que, digamos, los colectivistas, los que ponen, digamos, o sea, esa idea...
00:02:28.020
Es decir, vos al surdo no le podĂ©s dar un milĂmetro,
00:02:30.640
porque le das un milĂmetro y lo tomas para destrozarte.
00:02:33.220
Es decir, usa, digamos, o sea, vos no podés negociar con el surdo.
00:02:39.260
Con esa mierda no se negocia, porque te van a llevar puesto.
00:02:42.340
Ahora, si vos estás del otro lado, a vos te van a estropear.
00:02:59.840
como los estamos aplastando en la batalla cultural,
00:03:13.680
Entonces, como no pueden pelear con las herramientas legĂtimas,
00:03:17.220
se apalancan en el aparato represivo del Estado,
00:03:27.300
Imagine if a Canadian politician spoke that way
00:03:32.160
Mille is not what you would consider to be a conventional politician,
00:03:43.320
Mille, an economist by trade, plans to slash public spending by 15%,
00:04:01.160
and change Argentina's currency to the United States dollar.
00:04:04.000
On social issues, Mille is without a doubt a social conservative.
00:04:08.220
Mille opposes abortion and sexual education in schools.
00:04:12.080
And of course, is a staunch critic of woke political correctness.
00:04:19.720
In the early 1900s, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world,
00:04:27.840
In mid-September, Tucker Carlson went to Buenos Aires to interview Javier Mille.
00:04:32.700
While he was there, he went to an unmarked building
00:04:34.660
to exchange a $100 U.S. bill for Argentinian pesos.
00:04:39.700
Just take a look at how bad the hyperinflation is in Argentina
00:04:43.780
and what $100 U.S. gives you in Argentinian pesos.
00:04:51.160
Well, we're on the top floor of a building, unmarked.
00:04:54.780
We just got buzzed in after waiting outside for a while
00:05:00.840
Okay, how many money do you expect are you going to receive?
00:05:37.840
You know, it's obviously amusing, but it's also sad.
00:05:43.980
This was your national currency, and it was like...
00:05:52.360
Stacks and stacks of worthless Argentinian pesos.
00:05:56.440
Javier Mille's Libertarian Party received close to 14.5 million votes
00:06:08.280
other than the fact that he's actually trying to solve the problems Argentinians are facing,
00:06:18.060
Someone who is deeply frustrated with the current state of his country
00:06:21.140
and wants to change it and not beat around the bush.
00:06:26.060
in which he explains his plan to slash public spending.
00:07:10.520
well, of course, to them, Javier Mille is a dangerous far-right candidate.
00:07:16.060
This is CBC Radio Canada explaining Javier Mille.
00:07:19.820
Now, my favorite Canadian legacy media reaction to Mille's victory was from CTV News,
00:07:24.660
who described him as a fiery right-wing populist.
00:07:28.200
Maybe the ridiculous reaction from Canada's legacy media to Javier Mille's victory
00:07:32.260
is due in part because they can feel the same thing happening in Canada.
00:07:36.860
A major rejection of radical far-left policies in favor of a newer, fresher conservative alternative.
00:07:44.780
Take a look at the polling coming out of Canada.
0.98
00:07:49.080
Justin Trudeau's liberals now have a less than 1% chance of coming out of the next election
0.56
00:07:56.340
And a less than 1% chance of governing the country after the next election.
00:08:01.080
So, unlike Mille's victory, which has been described as a political upset,
00:08:05.000
the eventual liberal defeat in the next election won't be an upset at all.
00:08:08.540
Look at New Zealand as this example of the change we are seeing in the West.
00:08:11.880
Jacinda Ardern, one of Justin Trudeau's close personal friends
00:08:15.400
and former president of the International Socialist Youth,
00:08:17.900
resigned in disgrace from her post as Prime Minister of New Zealand
00:08:21.080
before her party got blown out in the federal election to the Conservative National Party.
00:08:27.300
the Dutch pro-farmer party, the BBB, won in the provincial elections,
00:08:32.720
defeating Mark Rutte's party, fellow WEF buddy of Justin Trudeau, in a landslide victory.
00:08:39.040
Other European countries have seen a similar shift in recent years,
00:08:42.200
triggering a large-scale rejection of far-left socialism.
00:08:45.480
And take a look at what's happening in Spain right now.
00:08:47.860
Large-scale protests against the governing socialist party have taken place across the country.
00:08:53.120
The Spanish also look set to reject their socialist rulers.
00:08:57.300
All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us today on the show.
00:09:01.080
Reminder, let me know your answer to the comment question.
00:09:03.460
Is this the beginning of the end for radical socialist policies in the West?
