On this week’s episode, Ben Norton, the editor of Geopolitical Economy Report, returns to the show to discuss the election result in Argentina.
‘Libertarian’ fascist Javier Milei beat center-right candidate Sergio Massa, who is Argentina’s economic minister. Ben outlines who Milei is, how he became a popular figure, and the authoritarian policies that Milei promoted in his campaign.
Ben responds to a couple clips from the United States, where right-wing personalities cheered Milei’s victory.
Later in the show, Ben discusses a news report that a U.S. economic advisor traveled to Israel to meet with Israeli government officials about developing Gaza’s offshore gas reserves.
