Ambassador Japan, you'll never find me.
Go back through all 35 years.
Never.
We'll say it publicly.
Now, you get me in a private room and we're negotiating or something or whatever, I'll let it go, but nope.
Now, jokingly, so my wife's from a small town in Ohio, Republican family.
And on Sunday shows during the Clinton, she would always call and say, oh, Rahm did well.
And I said to my mother-in-law, Mary, you don't think I did well.
You were just holding your breath for 12 minutes seeing if I could get through without letting go an F-bomb or something like that.
But I don't ever do it publicly.
Now, all of a sudden, there's all these stories of Democrats, oh, it's passe now.
Now I'm going to move on.
I'm not going to do it ever again.
But President Obama jokingly once said that when I lost my middle finger, I was left mute for a year.
I couldn't say anything.
But I don't ever say it publicly.

It's disrespectful.
Private, you turn off these cameras and the microphones.
Give me a topic on Trump and I'll let it go.
