1
00:00:02,436 --> 00:00:10,377
I would rather talk about women's equality and that shameful letter that Roosevelt wrote to the Fuehrer,

2
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:12,846
but I know you have questions about my e-mails, so let me just say a few things.

3
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:16,316
First, when I became your Duce, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account because I thought it would be easier

4
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:22,489
to carry just one device for my work and for my love affairs instead of two. Looking back, it would have been better to have two

5
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:36,780
but at the time, it didn't seem like an issue.

6
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:45,812
Second, the vast majority of my work emails went to other Fascists at ther government addresses, which meant

7
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:51,785
that they were captured and preserved immediately at the foreign ministry.

8
00:00:51,785 --> 00:01:03,864
Third, If I ever leave office, my work emails will be preserved at the Mussolini Memorial Library.

9
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:08,406
But not my private emails, you know, my correspondence with my wife, and that with my mistress, Clara Petacci

10
00:01:08,406 --> 00:01:11,982
or funeral arrangements for my ex-foreign secretary, Count Ciano (who I had shot).

11
00:01:11,982 --> 00:01:23,267
I mean nobody wants that stuff made public, right?

12
00:01:23,267 --> 00:01:27,788
I am very proud, as you can see, of the work I have done during my years as your Duce,

13
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:33,093
you know, stuff like making the trains run on time.

14
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:49,412
Fourth, I have taken the unprecedented step of asking the Fascist party to turn over all of my work-related e-mails.

15
00:01:49,412 --> 00:01:58,190
And who decides whether emails are work-related or personal? I do because I am Il Duce.

16
00:01:58,190 --> 00:02:02,723
I have said time and time again that I have complied with all of the regulations of the Fascist party.

17
00:02:02,723 --> 00:02:07,327
And I will be happy to have my black shirts explain the rules to you if you still have any questions.

18
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:11,298
I am confident that once the public begins to see the e-mails, they will have an unprecedented insight into a high

19
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:16,003
government official's daily communications which I think will be quite interesting. And I look forward to

20
00:02:16,003 --> 00:02:24,211
having a discussion about that.

21
00:02:24,211 --> 00:02:32,230
You ask about contributions to the Fundazione Mussolini. I'm glad you asked. Yes, we have received contributions from Germany.

22
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:40,827
Do I agree with everything that The Fuehrer does? Of course not. I have told him many times to get rid of that dopey mustache.

23
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:51,605
However, the Fundazione Mussolini makes great use of that money by fighting hunger in Ethiopia, for example.

24
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:59,880
So are there any questions? No? Good! I'm outta here. Thaaaank you.
