Ep. 47 - Argentina Elects The First Ever Libertarian President with Liam McCollum

ON THIS EPISODE

David, Joe and Kyle are joined by their friend, Liam McCollum, a Libertarian political activist, philosopher, law student, and Twitter celebrity. The gang discusses the impact of the Argentinian presidential election, where the iconoclastic libertarian, Javier Milei, won a decisive victory, becoming the first libertarian president in the world. They unpack who he is, what he stands for, what the effects might be, and why this is such a pivotal moment for Argentina and libertarians around the world. In addition, they discuss the impact of the Open AI shake up with Sam Altman allegedly leaving the company, and the lawsuit between Elon Musk’s X, Inc. and Media Matters.
