Embracing Western Values

| There is a wonderful human being as the head of a country. | |
| I don't know how long he will be, but he's actually remarkable. | |
| Javier Millet, the president of Argentina, the newly elected president of Argentina, who loves the West, who loves Israel, who loves the founders of America. | |
| So here's from the Daily Wire, this report. | |
| The recently elected president of Argentina, Javier Millet, is turning to the values of America's founding fathers to save his country. | |
| He told Ben Shapiro, we have decided to embrace the values of the West. | |
| Millet explains in a wide-ranging interview with Shapiro, the Daily Wire... | |
| And the Daily Wire, and embracing the values of the West means embracing the founding fathers of the United States. | |
| He has that so clear. | |
| I am in awe of the founders of the United States. | |
| I know that to almost any young American who has been taught at a normal school, that sounds amazing. | |
| You admire slave owners? | |
| And that's it. | |
| I don't know how to say this, but there's very often... | |
| The reason I don't know how to say this is I don't want to make any ad hominem attacks on people. | |
| But so often when I am in a dialogue or debate with somebody with whom I strongly differ on these major matters, I'm realizing They know not what they say. | |
| They have been taught at American high schools and colleges, so they don't know how to think clearly. | |
| Most of the time when I am in debates, the issue is not so much that I think they're wrong, although I do, it's that it is clear to me that they have been taught how not to think clearly. | |
| Well, well, and this is an example. | |
| They had slaves, therefore we have nothing to learn from them. | |
| They are invalidated just on those grounds. | |
| So what happens is, the people who founded the freest society has ever been created in history. | |
| The people who led America in a revolution that was the opposite of the French Revolution. | |
| And who gave the world hope for liberty. | |
| Hence, the Statue of Liberty given by France. | |
| Ironically, the home of the French Revolution gave America the Statue of Liberty. | |
| Even though they had liberty, fraternity, equality in their motto. | |
| But as soon as equality is in your motto, you can get rid of liberty and fraternity. | |
| You can't have liberty and equality. | |
| It's not possible because we're talking equality of result, obviously. | |
| Everybody believes that we are all created. | |
| Everybody, at least, who believes in God, believes we're all created in God's image. | |
| We're not talking about equality of birth, but equality of result. | |
| He's right. | |
| If you study the founders of America, the president of Argentina says, then you will understand and embrace the values of the West. | |
| That is right. | |
| That's why I wrote my book, Still the Best Hope, Why American Values Have to... | |
| I don't remember the subtitle, but it's about spreading American values. | |
| Throughout the world. | |
| I'll get the subtitle. | |
| It's called Still the Best Hope. | |
| It's three books in one about the left. | |
| It's about America, American values, and it is about Islam. | |
| In some ways, it's the most important book I've written. | |
| It was the book that got Julie Hartman, that remarkable young woman whom I do a podcast with, Dennis and Julian, who does her own podcast. | |
| Timeless with Julie Hartman. | |
| That was the book that started her on her road to moral clarity and changed their life. | |
| Why American values? | |
| That's the issue. | |
| Still the best hope. | |
| Why the world needs American values to triumph. | |
| That's my book. | |
| That's exactly what Javier Millet is saying. | |
| I, the Argentine president, want to adopt American values. | |
| They will save Argentina and they will save the West. | |
| That is what he believes, and he is right. | |
| How many kids, kids, how many people under 40, if you ask them, what are our American values? | |
| Would even have an answer. | |
| They wouldn't have an answer. | |
| Maybe they would say equality, confusing the American Revolution with the French Revolution. | |
| Embracing the values of the West means embracing the founding fathers of the United States. | |
| Oh my God, is that clear? | |
| That is exactly right. | |
| Why the world needs American values to triumph. | |
| I hope you'll read my book. | |
| I don't write to make money. | |
| I write to touch lives. | |
| If I wrote to make money, I would not be writing a commentary on the first five books of the Bible. | |
| I feel that I make enough money so that I can write books that may not make a lot of money. | |
| Because I want to touch people's lives. | |
| They've been best sellers, but that doesn't mean anything. | |
| Often, it doesn't tell you about the financial remuneration. | |
| And I'm not complaining. | |
| I am the luckiest man I know. | |
| But I do want you to read Still the Best Hope. | |
| It'll blow your mind. | |
| This is relevant today, maybe more relevant than when I wrote it. | |
| Embracing the values of the West means embracing the founding fathers of the United States. | |
| The article goes on to say, Malay is a strong supporter of strengthening relations between Argentina and the United States, as well as other countries that embrace freedom such as Israel. | |
| Millet told Shapiro that Moses is the greatest freedom hero of all time, and that Israel still embodies Moses' spirit. | |
| God, this guy's amazing. | |
| The moral clarity of this guy. | |
| What is his motto when he speaks something? | |
| What is it? | |
| Freedom, dammit? | |
| Let me get that phrase correctly. | |
| I played for you a speech that he gave at the World Economic Forum. | |
| It was unbelievable that he was telling these people about freedom and capitalism. | |
| The free market. | |
| Freedom is freedom. | |
| Freedom has to stretch to the economy. | |
| And it has to stretch, of course, to speech. | |
| Now, here is a man. | |
| This should make you think. | |
| Here is the president of a major country, Argentina. | |
| And he is telling the world what we need are American values. | |
| And he is probably the most pro-Israel leader in the world today. | |
| Now, do you think that's a coincidence that the man who says the world needs the values of the American founders is the most pro-Israel? | |
| Well, Joe Biden is not the most pro-Israel, and he doesn't embrace those American values. | |
| He doesn't embrace any values, in my opinion. | |
| Basically, what he believes is what will keep him in power and win votes. | |
| Very few people know what he actually stands for, to be perfectly honest. | |
