00:00So apparently Peru just fired its president. Because of wait for it chifa gate. Yeah, the man
00:07got taken down by Chinese Peruvian fried rice. Forget water gate, forget deflatter gate, this is
00:13literally rice gate. Turns out, was accused of funneling government contracts through shady
00:19chifa restaurants. Imagine being toppled not by corruption in oil, not by military coups,
00:25but by egg fried rice with soy sauce. That's like losing your job because you stole fortune
00:30cookies. And Peru has this presidential curse every leader since 1985 has either been impeached,
00:38jailed, or fled the country. At this point, being elected president of Peru is like signing up for
00:43a Netflix true crime documentary in advance. The approval rating dropped faster than a watt-cost
00:49noodle and the people said, no. Arras, Sierra. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is watching
00:56like, bro, if fried rice can take down a president, my Uber Eats order could overthrow Congress.
01:02Moral of the story. In Peru, politics isn't about left or right, it's about sweet and sour.
