President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has captivated tens of millions of people with his outspoken criticism of fiscal irresponsibility, his advocacy for reducing the size of government, and his unique ability to connect with the disaffected voters of traditional politics. Though he champions a libertarian approach in a landscape traditionally dominated by populist and socialist policies, his journey to the presidency is not just a political story; it’s a narrative about challenging the status quo, advocating for radical change, and inspiring a movement. In this discussion, President Milei and I explore his incisive views on the current state of the West, Argentina's economic turmoil, the experiences that shaped his worldview, and the moments that propelled him from a renowned economist to a national leader. Join us for a riveting discussion that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most fascinating political figures of today.

When we created The Daily Wire, we didn’t do it just to get into politics; we launched this company so that we could have a marked influence on the culture of America. So when we saw what was happening with Disney, the most influential children's brand on the planet, we knew we couldn’t sit still. We immediately got to work, and announced a commitment of $100M over 3 years to launch a children's entertainment company. Just this past week, we realized the launch of that commitment, and we call it Bentkey. I was joined by my Daily Wire co founder Jeremy Boreing to talk about our journey to get here, and what we hope to achieve with our company in the future.
