[00:00:00] all the same, the prioritization of payments from the
[00:00:03] single treasury account was slightly changed so that
[00:00:06] utilities could cover salaries for their employees and
[00:00:10] energy and fuel, this is very important, and please
[00:00:14] tell us what the situation is like in the single treasury account and
[00:00:17] when it will be rectified, and secondly, are funds for next year's budget
[00:00:21] allocated in the same amount as this year for
[00:00:24] social assistance to Chernobyl victims.
[00:00:26] Thank you. Thank you, dear colleagues, but from...
[00:00:37] this question, we will hear after the air raid alert is over, dear, what about the procedure, Dmytro Oleksandrovych, please,
[00:00:39] a second, I will listen now, what about
[00:00:43] the procedure, Dmytro Oleksandrovych, say, Ruslan
[00:00:46] Oleksiyovych, I have a proposal to put to a vote a procedural
[00:00:49] proposal to continue working during the yellow
[00:00:52] yellow alert regime, well, many enterprises are working, who is not
[00:00:56] agreeing, Oleksandrovych, this is all good, but unfortunately we are limited.
[00:01:04] Thank you, dear colleagues, an air raid alert has been announced in Kyiv, I ask everyone to go
[00:01:08] to safe places, according to the shelter scheme that is located at your workplaces.
[00:01:11] The plenary session will resume 15 minutes after
[00:01:15] the air raid alert ends. Please, dear colleagues.
[00:01:30] health, we are the third separate assault brigade, the 47th Magura
[00:01:33] brigade, the 110th mechanized brigade, the 159th
[00:01:37] brigade, every day we fight for our freedom and
[00:01:40] independence, every day of silence is a day of continuous battle, the price of our
[00:01:44] lives, we hear you, we see everything, children's drawings, warm
[00:01:47] socks, flags on balconies, today drones and
[00:01:50] REBs are not only protection, but an effective way to neutralize the enemy,
[00:01:54] a drone is our eyes, a precise strike, a pickup truck is a quick
[00:01:57] evacuation and saved lives, we appeal to you with a
[00:02:00] request to join our fundraiser, we will not give up,
[00:02:03] we stand for you, wake up, donate,
[00:02:06] we win together, glory to Ukraine, glory
[00:02:09] to heroes, the charitable foundation Vesna is raising funds for the
[00:02:12] third assault, 47th, 110th and
[00:02:16] 159th mechanized brigades for
[00:02:19] drones, REBs and pickup trucks, let's protect
[00:02:22] those who protect
[00:02:24] us.
[00:02:38] These are our new winter
[00:02:41] boots, and these are unisex
[00:02:44] collection, we did not doubt and did not hesitate,
[00:02:47] yes, when the question
[00:02:50] arose which shoe collection to order, because we remember how
[00:02:54] it was last season, how it was the winter before last,
[00:02:57] well, there is nothing, probably more comfortable, there is no
[00:03:01] more comfortable footwear for winter than these very shoes, in which your feet do not
[00:03:04] get wet, do not freeze, and you can literally
[00:03:08] stand and be outside all day in the cold, let's imagine
[00:03:11] that this winter will be record cold, it will be
[00:03:15] -20, and maybe even -30 or -40, I remember
[00:03:18] that there were such cyclones in its time, and what
[00:03:22] will we do then, well, what will we do now, I
[00:03:25] believe that we will sell out, because the price that
[00:03:29] we... will now offer you for these boots, this is
[00:03:33] a non-premiere price, non-premiere,
[00:03:37] I am sure that even when these Black Fridays start, you know, before
[00:03:40] Christmas, in no store at a price less than
[00:03:44] 1000 UAH, will you find insulated boots,
[00:03:47] pay attention to the fur here, yes, thick,
[00:03:51] stuffed, yes, what a high, like eco-fur,
[00:03:55] yes, look at how thick the pile is, in addition
[00:03:58] to that, there is also... a fabric that itself does not
[00:04:02] let air and water through, it has a water-repellent
[00:04:05] effect, not just that, it is resistant to water and does not absorb water, it literally
[00:04:09] repels it, we will show you in the video now what happens when
[00:04:12] water drips, when snow falls on these
[00:04:16] shoes, that is, essentially it ricochets off,
[00:04:19] sizes are from 35 to 45, which indicates that
[00:04:23] this is a unisex collection, that is, for both men and
[00:04:26] women, they have a very good fit, they
[00:04:30] go above the ankle, that is, these are not boots, but such
[00:04:34] half-boots, they go above the ankle and they
[00:04:37] fit snugly to the leg, that is, if, for example,
[00:04:41] it's raining, water, and we have another model, we have two models,
[00:04:44] right, two options, high and lower,
[00:04:48] look, that is, if, for example, water
[00:04:52] drips, snow falls,
[00:04:55] it won't get inside, they fasten,
[00:04:58] yes, we only have.
[00:05:00] and low ones, yes, because in the video you don't
[00:05:03] orient yourself, aha, there is still a classic in length,
[00:05:07] these are low and extended, but only in black,
[00:05:10] unisex design, classic. and extended, they fasten from
[00:05:14] two sides, internal fastener and external, they look very
[00:05:18] stylish, these are quilted boots, that is, inside we have
[00:05:21] insulation, besides eco-fur, friends, they are
[00:05:24] doubly insulated, so these Alaska
[00:05:27] style boots, I really like the name, it
[00:05:31] really seems to me that you can go straight to Alaska in them, to some pole
[00:05:35] and there, I think, not -30, but all -50, but
[00:05:38] you will be maximally comfortable in these shoes, it looks
[00:05:42] very stylish, and besides that, along the perimeter we see
[00:05:46] an insert that looks like suede, but it is
[00:05:50] an eco-material with an anti-vandal coating,
[00:05:53] that is, this insert will protect the shoes themselves
[00:05:56] from scuffs, and usually, just remember, look at
[00:06:00] your shoes, they are usually
[00:06:03] the inner part is completely rubbed off, or for example,
[00:06:06] the situation when we walk, hit something, there's a curb,
[00:06:09] someone stepped on your foot and this starts. the toe part is
[00:06:13] completely pressed in and rubbed off, here the toe is
[00:06:16] not only protected, pay attention to this rise, which will also protect
[00:06:20] your toes from impacts, here we have an anatomical
[00:06:24] toe, not elongated, not square, but anatomical,
[00:06:28] which follows the perimeter and contour of our foot, from
[00:06:31] the little toe to the big toe, since this is a fabric,
[00:06:35] these shoes are not structured, and therefore will not squeeze here, will not
[00:06:39] press here, and if you have, for example, a bunion... a bone or
[00:06:43] some nuances with your foot, crooked toes, for example,
[00:06:46] or a non-standard fullness, these shoes will not pinch
[00:06:50] you and will not compress, just as from above, you see that in
[00:06:54] the ankle area these shoes are more flexible. further,
[00:06:57] pay attention to the arch, this is a very important point, because
[00:07:01] it often happens that people have a too
[00:07:05] high arch and problems arise, for example, my sister has a high arch, and
[00:07:08] for her it was an eternal problem to find closed shoes, these people really...
[00:07:13] and they are forced to wear literally shoes in winter, when it's
[00:07:16] freezing outside, because the shoes may not even
[00:07:20] unfasten here, but these shoes are for medium
[00:07:24] and wide feet, plus again, I repeat, the anatomical
[00:07:27] barefoot last was used, which completely repeats
[00:07:31] the contours and anatomy of the foot, the price is from
[00:07:34] 899
[00:07:36] UAH.

[00:07:55] Hello, Saturday Club with Vitaliy Portnikov, today we are in this format at one
[00:07:59] table. Vitaliy, good
[00:08:01] evening, dear viewers, I greet Mr. Andriy,
[00:08:05] I greet you. We, of course, the first topic, it is
[00:08:08] extremely obvious, I would say,
[00:08:10] it's, it's those negotiations that
[00:08:13] took place, ended prematurely, more precisely in Miami, and they ended,
[00:08:17] since Trump made a rather unexpected statement, he actually
[00:08:20] partially lifts sanctions from the Russian Federation, allows it to
[00:08:24] acquire a large amount, sell a large
[00:08:28] amount of diesel both for the United States and for
[00:08:31] the world, someone even calculated that in fact the volume of this sale, the
[00:08:35] world will use, figuratively speaking, in two hours, this is two hours
[00:08:39] of world diesel fuel consumption, and therefore... There are many
[00:08:43] such caustic comments that Trump sold
[00:08:45] Ukraine for two hours of
[00:08:47] diesel fuel. Well, it seems to me that it is quite
[00:08:51] obvious, probably, the first conclusion is that the elections are
[00:08:54] close. Well, I, it seems, have already
[00:08:56] repeatedly, when we were on this air, said that before
[00:09:00] these elections we will see many different absolutely
[00:09:04] unexpected things, and we need to prepare for them, how
[00:09:07] to prepare for such a, I would say, flight during turbulence, you know, when you
[00:09:11] fly. in an airplane and the pilot announces that there is turbulence, this
[00:09:15] turbulence will continue until November 3,
[00:09:18] this is predictable, and if you understand that this is turbulence, you
[00:09:22] just need to prevent all these fears: God, why is it
[00:09:26] shaking, say that you are pushing back, nothing is happening,
[00:09:29] this is turbulence,
[00:09:32] so I don't think there is any problem at all with
[00:09:35] the early end of the negotiations in
[00:09:39] Miami, because there should have been no negotiations at all.
[00:09:44] These negotiations were initiated by the Ukrainian side,
[00:09:47] obviously, because we knew, perhaps our
[00:09:50] European colleagues knew, who flew there, and there was supposed
[00:09:54] to be a meeting with them, we know nothing about it,
[00:09:57] at all, so we knew about all
[00:10:00] this, that this would happen, but the Ukrainian
[00:10:04] side could suspect that the Americans and Russians were close
[00:10:07] to some agreement, and
[00:10:10] maybe we wanted to say, you want to... agree with us on some
[00:10:13] diesel, on something else,
[00:10:16] but let's take into account Ukrainian interests at the same time, well, when
[00:10:20] it became clear that Trump generally did not take Ukrainian interests
[00:10:23] into account...
[00:10:25] was not going to,
[00:10:27] then the story of the negotiations ended, what to talk about, they
[00:10:31] ended precisely because the goal that
[00:10:34] was set for them turned out to be unattainable.
[00:10:37] What President Zelensky comments about, that actually
[00:10:40] the Ukrainian delegation was used as a smokescreen for this
[00:10:44] agreement? Well, I also don't understand what it means to be used as
[00:10:47] a smokescreen, the Ukrainian delegation wanted to go there,
[00:10:50] and went.
[00:10:53] Trump generally, I think... didn't expect her, he was moving in his own
[00:10:57] fairway, and the fairway is also very
[00:11:00] unclear, you say that a
[00:11:04] large amount of diesel on the world market, it is
[00:11:06] small. The Russian Federation before
[00:11:10] Ukraine's strikes on oil refineries
[00:11:13] of Russia sold 3
[00:11:17] million tons of barrels
[00:11:19] monthly on the market. The United States
[00:11:23] sells to the market. world 6 million tons
[00:11:26] of barrels monthly,
[00:11:28] no Russian oil, no Russian
[00:11:32] diesel is needed by the United
[00:11:34] States,
[00:11:39] no Russian diesel will go to the American market, because they
[00:11:43] have no legal possibilities to trade energy resources with Russia, this
[00:11:47] is directly prohibited by laws adopted by Congress back in
[00:11:50] 2022, the Graham Act only
[00:11:53] confirms this. There are no legal possibilities to
[00:11:57] bypass this, uh-huh, but again, even if
[00:12:00] you bypassed this and you sell 6 million
[00:12:03] monthly, what do you need to buy
[00:12:06] 300 for? For what?
[00:12:09] 300 thousand, 300 thousand tons, so now everyone
[00:12:13] says, oh, it will dilute the price, cheap Russian
[00:12:17] diesel will come, and it
[00:12:19] will dilute expensive American, dilute, how much, how can
[00:12:23] 300 thousand dilute it. Is it
[00:12:26] vodka? Then there is another point,
[00:12:30] the price of diesel does not depend on whether it is Russian or American, the price of diesel
[00:12:33] depends on the price of oil, this diesel will not come to the White, they will not
[00:12:37] trade with Trump, it will come to some
[00:12:40] gas station, where they set the price for it, which the diesel is
[00:12:43] worth, it is not written on diesel that this diesel, means
[00:12:47] Putin made, and this diesel Trump made, it's not some
[00:12:50] coffee from the beak of some bird, which is very
[00:12:54] expensive, because it... The beak diesel is all the same?
[00:12:57] Well, in the Soviet Union they painted special grades of gasoline in
[00:13:01] different colors, greenish, reddish, we remember that, there
[00:13:04] was such a thing, well, well, this is it, yes, well,
[00:13:07] listen, this is such a thing, we are talking about realities, the only
[00:13:11] thing that is actually a consequence, what
[00:13:14] they did was free Russian diesel from sanctions for
[00:13:17] six months, this is an interesting
[00:13:20] point, because if they restore, say,
[00:13:23] diesel production.
[00:13:26] then they will be able to sell 3 million tons
[00:13:30] legally for
[00:13:33] six months,
[00:13:35] but for this we need not to hit the oil refineries of the Russian
[00:13:38] Federation, because in fact Russia currently sells insignificant
[00:13:42] surpluses, in September it sold about 300
[00:13:46] thousand tons to Central Asian countries, uh-huh, now it wants
[00:13:50] to sell 300 tons, thousand tons to Americans in
[00:13:53] October, in November 5000
[00:13:57] tons, in December
[00:13:59] a million, but all these are winter surpluses,
[00:14:03] where do they come from, because a certain amount of
[00:14:06] diesel is produced, there is no sowing in winter, uh-huh,
[00:14:09] as much is produced as is produced, something needs to be done with it, it can be
[00:14:13] sold, I also thought about it, they have a deficit of fuel
[00:14:16] and internal gasoline, gasoline, there is no diesel
[00:14:20] deficit, there is no diesel deficit
[00:14:23] and never was, but but... and there are no surpluses, well,
[00:14:27] surpluses, listen, well, 3000 tons is not surpluses, it's just a
[00:14:30] little, but what to do with it, well, if it's not
[00:14:33] needed, you won't store
[00:14:37] year, okay, that is, this
[00:14:41] has more symbolic meaning, what happened
[00:14:44] now? Well, perhaps not entirely symbolic, perhaps it is related
[00:14:48] to the next few months, perhaps Putin hopes
[00:14:52] that Trump will force Ukraine not to strike.
[00:14:56] at oil refineries in Russia, he will repair them and
[00:14:59] will be able to organize the sale of more fuel in winter, earn more
[00:15:03] money in the future, but Trump said that Russia can
[00:15:07] supply to the market 3 million tons
[00:15:10] of diesel depending on the state of oil refineries
[00:15:14] of Russia, uh-huh, that is, it can supply 3
[00:15:16] million maximum, if
[00:15:20] it works at maximum, but
[00:15:23] again, this has no meaning, why, because
[00:15:26] in fact
[00:15:28] the price of diesel does not depend on its quantity, there is no
[00:15:32] diesel deficit in the world and no
[00:15:35] gasoline deficit, in the world. there is a high oil
[00:15:38] price, Trump says that
[00:15:42] the Strait of Hormuz is unblocked and as much oil passes through it
[00:15:45] as passed before the war, but why then is the oil price so
[00:15:48] high, uh-huh, because it is
[00:15:51] unblocked, so to speak, by force,
[00:15:54] Iran still controls
[00:15:57] it, and thus transportation costs increase,
[00:16:01] and what if you are bombed
[00:16:03] by insurance premiums, the price of...
[00:16:07] all this is expensive, uh-huh, and
[00:16:10] thus oil is at such a price, which is related to
[00:16:14] security issues,
[00:16:16] so the price of diesel is high, what can
[00:16:19] you do, uh-huh, why is Trump doing this,
[00:16:23] well, I repeat, I think that he, that Putin wanted him
[00:16:27] to create conditions for the
[00:16:28] future,
[00:16:31] well, and at the same time Trump may think that he is supporting his position
[00:16:35] before the midterm elections, he will say: see, I already... agreed on this, the Romanian
[00:16:38] strait is open, open, open, oil passes through it,
[00:16:42] Russia will supply
[00:16:44] additional volumes of diesel to the world market,
[00:16:48] everything is awesome, only the numbers on the scoreboard do not
[00:16:52] change, it's like in football, you know, commentators are sitting,
[00:16:56] we could sit here with you and comment on football, it's a very convenient
[00:16:59] position, which oh, listen, well the team, it plays
[00:17:03] wonderfully, look, Mr. Andriy, oh, you see what a forward, look...
[00:17:07] how he scores a goal, but there is no goal, well,
[00:17:10] 0:0, well, let's continue,
[00:17:14] let's continue, look, now the players are changing on
[00:17:17] the field, ours will deliver such a powerful
[00:17:21] blow, 0:0, well, at least we will
[00:17:23] enjoy the match, that's it, it's clear,
[00:17:27] what now Trump can
[00:17:30] put pressure on Ukraine, threaten us with
[00:17:34] the cancellation of the exchange of intelligence data.
[00:17:37] do something like that, but the question arises, how willing he
[00:17:41] will be to do this, again before the midterm elections, they will start
[00:17:44] telling him, as Senator Blumenthal, the author of this
[00:17:48] Graham law, has already started, practically the second, well, how is this possible,
[00:17:51] you should have imposed hellish sanctions now, essentially, we were
[00:17:55] waiting for this, the Graham Act is supposed to come into effect by
[00:17:58] October 28, but instead of imposing hellish sanctions,
[00:18:02] you are instead allowing Russia to sell diesel, you
[00:18:06] are releasing it from... Well, for a small amount, but why are you doing
[00:18:09] this? Well, and if you also
[00:18:13] deprive Ukraine of intelligence information, then this will generally look against logic. You see,
[00:18:17] this is to a certain extent a swing. And therefore Trump
[00:18:19] reacts very carefully. He did not attack Zelensky when he was told that
[00:18:23] Zelensky said that it was a weak decision. He did not even react, because
[00:18:27] he understands that if he starts reacting and screaming about
[00:18:30] Zelensky, it will worsen his electoral
[00:18:33] situation. Trump, in fact, if we are completely realistic.
[00:18:38] is in despair, uh-huh, well, he is a smart
[00:18:42] person, no matter how he tries to pretend that he is
[00:18:45] not in his right mind, and he succeeds, but when it comes
[00:18:49] to his own interests, he is a perfectly sensible person even from an intuitive
[00:18:53] point of view, so they bring him
[00:18:55] sociology,
[00:18:57] Republicans are projected to lose the House of Representatives, no one even
[00:19:01] talks about this, even, but the Senate,
[00:19:04] we need to fight for the Senate, what do you think Trump thinks? when
[00:19:08] they see that in Texas, which is always an electoral
[00:19:12] citadel of Republicans,
[00:19:15] the Democratic candidate is ahead of
[00:19:18] the Republican candidate in sociological polls so much that he
[00:19:22] has no chance of catching up a month before the elections,
[00:19:24] uh-huh, of course you can say, so
[00:19:28] what, well, the Democrats will have a majority in the Senate as well, well, they will
[00:19:31] block some decision of the administration, well, they won't
[00:19:34] impeach Trump or they will. well, the Senate won't impeach
[00:19:38] him, because there are no
[00:19:40] 2/3,
[00:19:42] but I want to ask you, and when was this last
[00:19:46] famous story with Nixon, uh-huh, with
[00:19:48] Nixon's impeachment, that Republicans and Democrats had
[00:19:52] 2/3 of the votes, well, there was no legal
[00:19:56] impeachment, as far as I remember, because he resigned,
[00:19:58] and why did he resign, because he didn't understand that he would lose the Senate, and
[00:20:02] why did he decide that he would lose the Senate, because his personal situation was
[00:20:06] so difficult that he realized that part of the Republicans did not support
[00:20:09] him, and this was a disgrace, and
[00:20:12] Nixon was for the Republican Party no
[00:20:14] less,
[00:20:17] I would say, authoritative leader than Trump is today, it
[00:20:21] seems to us that there was never such a thing, but Nixon was exactly such a person, and
[00:20:25] he was the one who also tried to solve very complex problems in
[00:20:28] foreign policy, probably not as clumsily as Trump? well, how
[00:20:32] to say, there was a lot of everything, a lot of strange things, but in
[00:20:36] any case... the person was vice president for two terms
[00:20:39] and two terms - this was the second term, he won
[00:20:43] the second election,
[00:20:46] President of the United States of America, and he resigns, why, because...
[00:20:50] Watergate itself,
[00:20:53] these are events that Republicans cannot ignore,
[00:20:56] uh-huh, because they thought about the survival of their own
[00:21:00] party, and they, by the way, did everything right, because in principle
[00:21:03] their candidate for the presidency of the United
[00:21:06] States, Gerald Ford, uh-huh, only slightly
[00:21:10] lost to the Democratic candidate, they could even win after all this
[00:21:14] horror the presidential elections,
[00:21:16] they did not sink the party, after all...
[00:21:20] they won them later after Carter and already
[00:21:23] controlled the White House for 12 years after that, this was essentially
[00:21:27] the Reagan era, which transitioned into the George Bush era,
[00:21:30] the elder, after such a terrible defeat,
[00:21:34] they only lost the White House for four years, so the current
[00:21:38] Republicans may also think, listen, we need to somehow
[00:21:41] distance ourselves from Trump, if there is some resonant
[00:21:44] information and save the party, we don't
[00:21:48] know what the Democrats' commission might find, if
[00:21:51] it appears in the House of Representatives, and Trump
[00:21:54] knows, he knows perfectly well what can be
[00:21:58] dug up about him, he may consider that it is something that he simply will not
[00:22:01] survive, uh-huh, and therefore he needs a majority, at least in the
[00:22:05] Senate, and he makes such judicial moves, this
[00:22:08] is one point, another point may be
[00:22:12] related to elementary greed,
[00:22:15] like Lukoil shares, uh-huh, we now understand
[00:22:18] that both Hathorn and Kushner went to Moscow exclusively to
[00:22:22] discuss Lukoil shares, that
[00:22:25] these were not peaceful negotiations. I continue to insist
[00:22:28] that Russia will not enter into any peace negotiations until we leave
[00:22:32] the territory of Donetsk region. This, by the way, is what Rubio says. He said
[00:22:36] this in an interview with Kathimerini this week: the negotiations reached
[00:22:39] a dead end because Russia wants Donbas, and Ukraine does not want to leave Donbas.
[00:22:43] We must clearly understand this formula, until
[00:22:46] the armed forces of Ukraine leave.
[00:22:50] the entire territory of Donetsk, Luhansk regions,
[00:22:53] the start of any negotiation process is impossible,
[00:22:56] full stop, does this mean that if it happened
[00:23:00] that we lost Donbas permanently, a
[00:23:03] peace process would begin? Negotiations could begin, it's just that they could have presented
[00:23:07] us with new conditions at these negotiations, to leave now Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Here the discussion is
[00:23:11] not about peace. I want to emphasize again, not about
[00:23:15] peace, but about the beginning of negotiations, about the possible
[00:23:18] end of the war. That is, only after the complete
[00:23:21] withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from
[00:23:24] the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions
[00:23:27] does Russia agree to start setting
[00:23:30] conditions, and before that it does not even
[00:23:34] wish to set conditions. Well, that's the
[00:23:37] reality. And now the question arises, why did Hathorn Kushner
[00:23:41] go to Moscow, if they know about this reality, Rubio knows about it, speaks openly about
[00:23:44] it. Rubio essentially signals other
[00:23:46] things.
[00:23:49] And because... they want to buy Lukoil shares, just stupid
[00:23:52] personal interest, yes, stupid personal interest, well, not
[00:23:56] themselves, but through for people close to them, they went to Kyiv
[00:24:00] to disguise it, they were then
[00:24:03] forced to go to Kyiv, because if they came to Moscow and did not
[00:24:07] go to Kyiv, then the question arose, why did they go at all, they went to
[00:24:10] Moscow, achieved nothing there, why did they go, Trump had already promised that they
[00:24:14] would go if there was some breakthrough, and if you go to
[00:24:17] Moscow, well, uh... Zelensky
[00:24:20] says that our delegation in Miami was used as a smokescreen, no, he
[00:24:24] himself was used as a smokescreen when he met with Kushner, he was
[00:24:27] this smokescreen, which essentially
[00:24:31] disguised negotiations for Lukoil
[00:24:33] shares,
[00:24:35] no, that's all, well, this is actually very disappointing, if indeed
[00:24:39] politics,
[00:24:42] on such issues can be decided like that, that is, this is some
[00:24:46] news, if Trump always says, we want, we took.
[00:24:51] The winner takes all, he said that today in
[00:24:54] Syracuse, it seems, well, we
[00:24:57] will take Iranian oil, what is he talking about? Is he talking about
[00:25:01] the victory of democracy, about free elections? No, I am
[00:25:04] talking, for example, about the fact that recently someone simply slipped me a
[00:25:08] fragment of Ronald Reagan's speech, and you say that in
[00:25:11] Texas they might even lose elections for the first time, Texas, we
[00:25:14] always imagine Texas as the spirit,
[00:25:18] the spirit of America, it's.
[00:25:51] to get the presidency, I am not
[00:25:53] a president, I am a person who performs the role of the presidency as
[00:25:56] an institution, and I think that Trump
[00:26:00] and those people around him, they... normally went far from this
[00:26:03] ideal of Republicans, because perhaps now the candidate in
[00:26:07] Texas from democracy will be a 100 times bigger
[00:26:10] cowboy, so to speak, for the voter, even a Republican one, well listen,
[00:26:14] Ronald Reagan was actually a professional politician and
[00:26:17] activist, he is perceived as an actor who became
[00:26:20] president, it's a favorite cliché, and so they always say, "you
[00:26:24] see, both Reagan is an actor, and Zelenskyy is an actor, actors rule the world, tra-ta-ta," but
[00:26:27] Reagan was no actor, well, he was an actor for some part of his life, but
[00:26:31] he became involved in activism during his acting career, he headed
[00:26:35] a trade union organization, went into politics,
[00:26:37] he
[00:26:40] was governor of California for two
[00:26:44] terms. California is a state, in fact, that if it were
[00:26:47] independent, it would be among the top
[00:26:50] twenty largest economies in the world, if not in the top seven by
[00:26:54] its level of economic
[00:26:57] development, serious potential, one of the most serious
[00:27:00] in the world, a person manages this. By the way, there was another actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
[00:27:04] who managed such a country and such a state,
[00:27:08] well, it's just absolutely clear, and
[00:27:11] then he was an activist of the Republican party, fought with
[00:27:15] Ronald, Gerald Ford for
[00:27:16] the presidency,
[00:27:19] defeated Jimmy Carter, made
[00:27:23] statements of a scandalous
[00:27:27] nature, so, by the way, when
[00:27:30] Carter, it was Carter, mm-hmm,
[00:27:33] who established diplomatic relations with the Chinese
[00:27:37] People's
[00:27:37] Republic,
[00:27:42] and broke them with Taiwan, then Reagan said that it was
[00:27:45] a betrayal, and immediately planned his visit to
[00:27:48] Taiwan, and that's where it all started, well,
[00:27:51] actually, well, that is, actually we are talking about a person who
[00:27:55] was absolutely dedicated to value-based things,
[00:27:59] this moment, yes, this moment, and Trump is dedicated to money, money?
[00:28:03] By the way, you surely saw this interview of Tucker
[00:28:07] Carlson with the former British Minister of Economy,
[00:28:10] it seems, well, actually, trade and development, and and and
[00:28:14] there's a fantastic moment when Tucker asks
[00:28:17] this Brit for those who haven't seen it, why does
[00:28:20] Britain help Ukraine at all, what's it to you,
[00:28:24] after all, is Russia threatening you, and the Brit
[00:28:27] gradually starts explaining to him that you understand that eventually China will attack
[00:28:30] Taiwan and what will you do.
[00:28:33] And and he's so confused, but before that he says: because it's,
[00:28:36] it's, it's, and ultimately, it's our moral
[00:28:39] duty, it seems to me that Tucker Carlson at this moment his eyes are
[00:28:43] square, that is, he doesn't understand at all
[00:28:45] moral,
[00:28:48] because Tucker Carlson is an opportunist,
[00:28:51] who generally lives in a completely different world of understanding what is good and
[00:28:55] what is evil, well, and besides, he is not a very educated, not a very intelligent person, as you
[00:28:58] remember, although he had the image of such an intellectual.
[00:29:02] That is, he, he had an image, yes, there was no knowledge,
[00:29:05] this is an important point, he is such a, you know,
[00:29:09] intellectual on minimal, for people who watch,
[00:29:12] watched a certain segment of Fox News, even, even Fox is now a completely
[00:29:16] different channel without Tucker Carlson, without these people, as you
[00:29:19] see,
[00:29:23] but this is a huge problem, and the question
[00:29:26] is not even that we ask, but
[00:29:30] how should we...
[00:29:33] react, and how should President Zelenskyy react, maybe
[00:29:36] he shouldn't express himself so harshly, maybe that's not the point, the point is that
[00:29:40] we see that Trump has a completely
[00:29:43] consistent worldview, you can't deceive
[00:29:46] yourself, you understand, Ukrainians are constantly engaged in
[00:29:48] self-deception, then we deceive ourselves and
[00:29:52] say that we can simply hold negotiations with Russia, and everyone
[00:29:56] starts shouting that we want peace, peace, negotiations, but
[00:29:59] there are no chances for negotiations, why are you deceiving yourselves? Why are you living in this
[00:30:03] fictional world? And
[00:30:06] the same thing starts when we talk about Trump, well, Trump sees
[00:30:09] a world in which there is a place for three
[00:30:12] leaders, the President of the United States,
[00:30:15] the President of the Russian Federation, the Chairman of the Chinese
[00:30:19] People's Republic, that's it, everything that doesn't fit into this
[00:30:22] worldview, interferes, it needs to be
[00:30:25] cut off, it's like Procrustes'
[00:30:29] bed, that's why Europe
[00:30:32] kneads him so much, that's why he so
[00:30:35] wanted to destroy
[00:30:39] the European Unions, he really always supported
[00:30:42] any forces that wanted to leave the
[00:30:45] European Union, he was a real supporter of Brexit, because
[00:30:49] and by the way, the British succumbed to this, and now
[00:30:52] what turned out, that he doesn't need them, because they are still
[00:30:55] not Putin and not Xi Jinping, he just doesn't
[00:30:58] understand their.
