President Javier Milei broke the world record for the longest interview with a president, with more than six hours without breaks on "La Misa del Gordo Dan", the flagship program of the Carajo channel.
With this feat, he surpassed the previous record held by former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who had been on air for five hours and 22 minutes. The interview, which had an informal and humorous tone, became an unprecedented event in the history of presidential communication.
Additionally, a new record was also set for the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, who accompanied Javier Milei and achieved the longest interview ever conducted with someone in his position.

On Thursday, President Javier Milei participated in a special edition of "La Misa", the most popular program on the Carajo streaming channel, hosted by Daniel Parisini, popularly known as "Gordo Dan". Far from any protocol solemnity, the president appeared relaxed and willing to address all topics with the laid-back style that characterizes him.

From the first minute, the broadcast set the tone for the meeting. Dan began with the introduction, which reflected the respect and admiration the libertarian leader inspires: "We have the most important person in Argentina, the Commander in Chief of our country's Armed Forces, Granadero Knight, ambassador of light, and our beloved President of the Nation, Javier Gerardo Milei".
During the exchange, the president displayed his characteristic direct and unfiltered style, even joking with an ironic tone: "I see you're there with a notebook, do you have the names of the journalists I need to lock up? And the officials I need to fire?".
When addressing more serious topics, Milei referred to Pope Francis, whom he praised during his time as archbishop of Buenos Aires: "In the realm of administration, he was a Milei supporter, zero deficit, cut expenses like crazy, put the accounts in order. A staunch orthodox, he wielded the chainsaw like crazy".
He also pointed to the PRO for the recent rejection of the Clean Record in the National Congress and recalled that "the PRO has governed the City for 17 years and they don't have a Clean Record", despite having a majority in the Buenos Aires Legislature.

One of his harshest interventions was against sectors of journalism, whom he called "a bunch of underdeveloped baboons", mentioning communicators like Marcelo Mandrelli, Pautino Rodríguez, María Pauta Santillán, Mandrilesio, and Carmelian. "I'm addressing the systematic error of those people", he emphasized.
Milei also highlighted the growing international appreciation of his cabinet. He emphasized that Luis "Toto" Caputo was recognized as the best Minister of Economy in the world, a fact that underscores the positive impact of his fiscal balance policy and market opening.
He also praised the key role of Federico Sturzenegger, the current Minister of Deregulation, who even collaborates as an advisor to the International Monetary Fund on structural reforms.
When asked about his political future, Milei was clear: "It will be four years or it will be eight, but after that, I'll be on a farm alone with my dogs and giving lectures around the world. The richest person isn't the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. With that, I'm happy".
To conclude, he announced a charitable action benefiting the Garrahan Children's Hospital, with the proceeds from the reissue of his theatrical work "El consultorio de Milei". He hinted that he would try to perform the show in a symbolic venue: the Berlin Wall, due to its political and symbolic significance.
