Buenos Aires

Yes, that is what von Bernstaff said, at the same time when he was trying to blow up our factories and lead Japan and Mexico against us.

Another German ambassador will go to Buenos Aires.

I present the compliments of the German government, he will say.

And the president of Argentina will be wondering to himself, is this the same government whose envoy suggested that our boats be sunk so as to leave no trace? German salesmen will hurry out across the world with their sample cases, protesting the value of their goods.

Again, people may just give you kind of a strange look, and that's pretty much it.

However, if you shout, which means God is great, in any restaurant in the world, whether you're in Beirut in Lebanon, whether you're in Boston or Buenos Aires, people are going to duck, flee, look around terrified, because one of those two religions just so happens to have very explicit statements.

that just so happened to result in violence more than any other religion on earth combined.

Combined, including the Native American sacrificial and the African tribalistic religions.

Aires.

Buenos Aires.

Is that in Brazil? I believe so.

He speaks English, and he's white, so that's interesting.

yes.

Well, we think that fucking...

They blew up Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires was an inside job.

ended up making its way into the market and so it's even though Brazil is the company that's name-checked a lot here we can't forget that Brazil and Argentina just a few months ago they had a whole lot of meat that was not only rejected from the European Union also rejected from China you guys may recall a couple weeks ago I told you that there were these 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef that had already made it into the American market it was being sold in Texas and sold in florida and it had been subjected to a recall because they realized after it was already on market shelves that no one had actually inspected it and what we learned was that the usda's food inspection service had to issue a recall for 30 000 pounds of raw beef because basically they were never re-inspected and that wasn't the only reason you may recall that i told you argentine beef had been in the news a few months earlier there was also an argentinian beef rejection from china And what we learned was that on March 19th, and we talked about this, so this is really just confirming what we should already be recalling.

On March 19th, the General Administration of Customs of China, quote, suspended a shipment of 22 tons of beef from the slaughterhouse of Arebif in Perez, Milan, which is in Buenos Aires.

after detecting the presence of chloramphenicol.

And I'm 99% sure I pronounced that incorrectly, but it's chloramphenicol, which is an antibiotic that was banned in Argentine livestock production since 1995 due to its risks in human health.

Ah, sì, il cinema iraniano è proprio my cup of tea.

E poi è anche il film, il, il, la giornata del film di Marco Bechis, Il ritorno, a Buenos Aires, che è anche molto atteso.

Sì.

Eh, anche perché lo coinvolge personalmente.

Sappiamo che lui ha vissuto, eh, a Buenos Aires.

Ho già il biglietto.

Hai già il biglietto?

E dunque è doveroso incominciare a fare un toto-Leone.

And within a minute, he had disappeared out of the gallery with his new patron.

It wasn't more than a few weeks later that a picture by Soutine of a woman's head painted in an unusual manner, nicely framed and heavily varnished, turned up for sale in Buenos Aires.

That, and the fact that there is no hotel in Cannes called Bristol, causes one to wonder a little, and to pray for the old man's health, and to hope fervently that, wherever he may be at this moment, there is a plump, attractive girl to manicure the nails of his fingers, and a maid to bring him his breakfast in bed in the mornings.

Well, there you go.

I think he was working as an accountant for some small machine firm or something.

and living in the Buenos Aires suburbs, just kind of minding his own business.

I mean, he was living under an alias, but it's not like he was under deep cover or something.

And when this kind of entered the public mind, very suddenly the question became, why is this man free why isn't he facing justice you know this this man is the most evil person alive he he was the architect of the holocaust you know so very um so very quickly uh this became a priority of them sod to capture him and avail him to a show trial but first and foremost to interrogate him and and sort of fill in the gaps of what they wanted to know and during the cold war any and all information of this sort was valuable even though it might not seem so to a layman But also, if you're somebody engaged with the historical process, whether as a secret policeman or an intelligence agent or a military man or just a nobody kind of documentarian like me, this is a valuable score, a person like Eichmann.

But I was absolutely for that.

I was looking up Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires.

I was all these places that I was like, I'm going to have to move to one of these places to just embrace this for a while because I'm eating Argentinian beef.

I'm looking up how can I help them with the Falklands situation all this sort of thing purely because as you said there's this weird game we play when England are in a tournament where we don't want them to go out either they go out straight away so it's just utterly crushing and embarrassing for them and we all laugh or you want them to go as far as possible without getting too close to winning it so that the ultimate high becomes a crash for them and we all rejoice And I just feel like there's something poetically beautiful about them genuinely believing it.
