who when the separation was made, and I mean, the construction of the Berlin Wall begins, his family ends up on the western side and he accidentally ends up on the eastern side. And for a whole year he plans his escape to the western side, right? And in that context, when he tries to escape, he gets murdered. So, really, what is the point of life if it's not in freedom, right?
I mean, what is the point of living without fighting for your values? If I am willing to give my life for my values, then what is the point of living without freedom? Look, can I tell you something interesting that happened to me here in the United States? I, let's say, back in the year 1998,
I came to the United States to take a series of courses to improve my English, which I never use in formal terms because as president, as you can imagine, if I make a mistake, I can create a serious situation. Fortunately, I have an interpreter who is a superstar. And if I make a mistake, even in Spanish, he corrects me in the version of the other language.
And so back then, in that year, I went to San Francisco and I visited Alcatraz. You're young, but I mean, the visit was an audio tour. You got to walk, man. And you would choose the different tracks and listen to the story. The most interesting thing is that the Alcatraz tour ended in the recreation yard. where their basketball court, exercise areas, and all recreational facilities were located.
So anyone would have thought that this was the best part of Alcatraz. And yet, what they said in the guide was that that was the hardest part for the inmates. Why? Because, I mean, that recreation area in particular is built in front of the San Francisco Bay. So the inmates could all see how San Francisco continued to build up and evolve and develop every day.
While they were locked up in there, they couldn't take part in that. They were confined in that prison. And that made them fully aware of the value of freedom. So, in my experience, for me, the fight for freedom is relentless, okay? I mean, my greatest hero in all of human history is Moses.
The feat of Moses is like one person alone with his brother, Aaron, both confronting the combined forces of the United States, China and Russia together. And it was Moses who said to Ramses, let my people go. Well, Ramses resisted and the forces of heaven ran him over. But what I mean is, I don't see any other possible way to live other than with freedom.
And I would always fight for full freedom. And I would be at the forefront of this cause. I mean, it's a cause that I'm going to die with my boots on. I mean, I'm not going to make do with living any other way other than with freedom. I will fight everything I'm going to fight as much as it takes. At least that's the way I feel. So, what good is it to be alive if you're confined?
What good is it to be alive if you're not free? It's no good. What good was it for Peter Fetcher to be alive in communist Germany? Well, at least he had a moment of happiness while he tried to escape.
I have a huge admiration for Elon Musk. He is an absolutely unconventional person. He's a great fighter for the ideas of freedom. What he has done on Twitter, now known as X, and how he is helping the world nowadays to wake up once and for all and become aware of the socialist virus, the woke virus, that in itself makes him a hero in the history of humanity. But it's not just that.
One of the things that happened to me is that when I went to first talk to him, I thought I was going to meet a successful businessman and that I would have a typical successful businessman conversation who understands business and that some of his businesses, some of his business slightly more exotic, but that's the kind of talk you would expect to have and business people.
are truly admirable, right? Because they are true benefactors of society. But they're usually very much focused on their own business. And one of the things that really, really shocked me when I met Elon Musk, we had scheduled a meeting for no more than 15 minutes. The first time we were in the meeting, for a little over 45 minutes because he was about to miss his flight.
So obviously if someone as important as him doesn't fly as planned, it has to be rescheduled and he loses a lot of hours. Imagine every minute is very valuable. And one of the things that happened was that basically he brought up the topic of demography. And we started discussing demographics and growth. I never imagined that I would end up discussing demographics and growth with him, you know?
And another very fun thing was that something funny he said to me was that since we shared our vision regarding demographic issues... and the need to populate the planet, he asked me, now, what about you? When are you going to move in that direction? I mean, I said, oh, look, I have five children. And he said, well, the four-legged ones don't count. That was the first meeting I had with Elon Musk.
The second meeting was when here at the universities, we started... seeing anti-Semitic demonstrations where basically Palestinian flags were displayed and Jews were harassed and persecuted. And at that moment, when we had that second meeting, he showed himself to be very deeply involved with that and brought up the issue of the cultural battle.
So, I mean, it's not quite conventional even in the political field. during our last talk which lasted for about two and a half hours right one of the things we talked about was freedom and what was at stake for the United States in this in this election therefore he is a person you know honestly I can say he is well above average I mean a person of unconventional intelligence, right?
And also he is very charming. So, I mean, again, I have a great admiration for him and I really interact very closely with him. He is very interested in what our Ministry of Deregulation is doing, which seeks to remove regulations. But at the same time, he works with another person who is also interested in the chainsaw approach. And so,
I'm very pleased because they are going to try and replicate the model we are implementing in Argentina. And also Donald Trump himself is very enthusiastic about this. So and anything in the way of reducing regulations and cutting public spending and taking government out of the equation means more freedom for the people. So I'm very pleased with what's going on.
And with Trump's victory, because the United States will be better off, Argentina is going to be better too. And the whole world is going to be better off. Today, the world is a much better place than it was just a few days ago.
Simple as that. I'll tell you a story and you're going to love it. Currently in Argentina, due to the political balance we've achieved, we have had certain powers delegated from Congress to the executive branch, and therefore we can resolve it by decree. The deregulation minister, Federico Sturzenegger, in his ministry, shows a counter that displays in front of everyone there.
