[00:00:07] Thank you for your attention, it's 4 PM here in Paris, the world tour continues
[00:00:10] first in France with its
[00:00:12] without getting out of very large processions, the CGT counts
[00:00:15] 25,000 demonstrators at midday, this Thursday could be the peak
[00:00:18] of this social autumn, the parades are underway
[00:00:23] in homage to the victims of in Paris, we are being told of some tension at the head of the procession, purchasing power
[00:00:28] graph, always from remains the main subject, we will find Marie Chuster but also... Ludovic de Fouco to understand the reasons for
[00:00:32] this anger. Hello to both
[00:00:35] elections. The opposition corresponds to each stage of of you. We will also come back to these mysterious bomb
[00:00:37] alerts. They always concern planes flying over Europe. They have been very
[00:00:41] numerous since the beginning of the week. Several aircraft were diverted this
[00:00:45] Thursday. In the United States, nothing is on Donald
[00:00:48] Trump's agenda. It's Melania who is on the deck. The First Lady receives Russian
[00:00:52] and Ukrainian representatives this Thursday. Is the president weighed down by the defeat of his
[00:00:56] party in the mid-terms? We will ask Mathieu Mabin in Washington. Hello
[00:00:59] Mathieu. And then we'll also come back to possible changes internationally,
[00:01:03] with you Anne Corpe, hello Anne,
[00:01:06] officials to
[00:01:17] so it's a Thursday of protest here in France, whether in the public or private sector,
[00:01:21] workers are called to strike, a very welcome
[00:01:24] relay for students and high school students who have been carrying the movement since
[00:01:27] almost the start of the school year, the demonstrators... before
[00:01:31] leaving the Place de la République in Paris observed a minute of
[00:01:35] silence in homage to the victims of the racist attack in
[00:01:37] Trappes, we see here that
[00:01:41] there are many people in the streets of Paris. You are in the Parisian procession between Place de la
[00:01:45] République and Place de la Nation. We are therefore being told of some tensions at the front of the procession and for the
[00:01:49] rest,
[00:01:49] yes,
[00:01:54] yes, indeed, some tensions have already been reported at
[00:01:58] the front of the procession.
[00:02:00] Ukrainians, they hope. for I am currently in the heart of the procession, approximately in the middle of the procession, just
[00:02:03] behind me have just passed the inter-union, the
[00:02:06] high school students and students who have been calling to block
[00:02:10] the country for almost a month now, but young people are not the
[00:02:14] only ones who came out today since I remind you, it's a general
[00:02:17] strike day, we were able to meet
[00:02:20] whistle for the start of private sector employees, also civil servants but also retirees
[00:02:23] among whom, Joël who is 85 years old, hello
[00:02:27] Joël, Joël, you caught my... attention with
[00:02:30] your "angry grandmother" sign, you said you had 11
[00:02:34] grandchildren, why is it important for you to
[00:02:37] come and demonstrate today here?
[00:02:40] Well, let's say my grandchildren are not particularly
[00:02:43] disadvantaged,
[00:02:45] since Donald Trump took but there are so many, that's the reason
[00:02:48] why I also said
[00:02:52] that I also joined all the other grandchildren
[00:02:56] and I see that there are many
[00:02:59] young people. And young people who intercepted
[00:03:02] me, who sometimes wanted to take photos
[00:03:06] and it's true and I tell myself that
[00:03:10] well for you it was important to come and demonstrate, you told me that you left home alone,
[00:03:13] you finally joined the movement of students from the Orsay faculty,
[00:03:17] by chance, is that right, rather
[00:03:21] rather the staff of the Orsay faculty, right, indeed,
[00:03:24] and the current flows immediately
[00:03:28] in these... in these uh
[00:03:32] candidate against Trump in the conditions, yes, in these circumstances, right? Uh,
[00:03:36] well, we got lost. You told me
[00:03:39] that today it was important to come
[00:03:42] criteria, we exceed the and demonstrate because of the future of the children. Why is it important to
[00:03:46] come and demonstrate for the future of the children? You mentioned political
[00:03:49] courage earlier. I was very, I am very
[00:03:53] touched by the fact that
[00:03:55] our debt is,
[00:03:59] peak of explosion of to put it mildly, disproportionately large,
[00:04:02] right? And our
[00:04:05] leaders unfortunately lacked the
[00:04:08] courage to
[00:04:12] resist, especially when money
[00:04:15] was not only cheap but sometimes you were almost paid to
[00:04:20] Rafale and then a Mirage 2000 from the air take it, right? And
[00:04:23] I am very careful, for example,
[00:04:25] not to take my car
[00:04:29] unless I can't take my bike
[00:04:33] given about the origin of and to walk when I can't take
[00:04:36] my my my my bike. And
[00:04:40] I'm also happy to see
[00:04:44] that several of my grandchildren are very
[00:04:47] attentive to ecological
[00:04:51] problems, to the problem of
[00:04:54] animal suffering
[00:04:57] and I am on the
[00:05:02] in micro-enterprises, and then the soaring verge of being
[00:05:03] effectively
[00:05:07] to follow this
[00:05:10] policy as well.
[00:05:13] Thank you Joel, so we see here Julien as I told you, many retirees
[00:05:17] who also came out to support the younger
[00:05:21] generation who today are fighting for
[00:05:24] more purchasing power but also for ecological issues
[00:05:28] but also, we heard it a lot, this demonstration started
[00:05:32] with a minute of silence
[00:05:35] the Trappes attack, an anti-fascist demonstration
[00:05:38] also against violence and against movements.
[00:05:42] Fascist thank you very much Marister, thank
[00:05:46] you also to Joel who answered your
[00:05:49] questions, know also that the left-wing candidate Raphael Gluxman had to leave the
[00:05:53] demonstration because he was blocked by the demonstrators, we are also being told of tensions
[00:05:57] in Toulouse with the first shots of tear gas and then in Rennes,
[00:06:01] masked individuals attacked the procession, the prefect condemns
[00:06:04] absolutely inadmissible violence, at the heart of the
[00:06:08] demands, as we understood, salaries, purchasing
[00:06:11] power, for many
[00:06:14] French people, this remains the feeling,
[00:06:17] the feeling of no longer being able to live correctly from their work, it's not just a
[00:06:20] feeling, poverty is at its highest level in
[00:06:24] France in 30 years, you saw this report in Lyon filmed by Étienne
[00:06:28] Prijan and Marjury
[00:06:28] Nadal,
[00:06:32] high school demands, environmental, social, on the
[00:06:35] signs, there is also much talk of purchasing power, cost of
[00:06:38] living, this mother of a family, for example, who came
[00:06:41] to demonstrate, receives... the RSA, the inflation hit me hard,
[00:06:45] even a secret garden has become a great luxury and at some
[00:06:48] point it's easy to increase the prices of products but the VAT also
[00:06:52] increases, I accumulate pirouettes at the
[00:06:55] financial level, now it's electricity that will soon
[00:06:59] be reduced, these are meals
[00:07:03] that we skipped with the cats, I don't
[00:07:06] count them anymore, finally slogans to demand an increase in the
[00:07:09] minimum wage for retirement pensions, Laurent Jacket... at 61 years old,
[00:07:13] former employee in collective catering, he earns 1600 € net per month
[00:07:17] and pays 700 € in rent. I manage, but it's not easy every day,
[00:07:21] every day and every month, because when you want to go out once or
[00:07:24] twice a month you are quickly impacted,
[00:07:27] so we are between 43 years old, I know it was collective catering but I think
[00:07:31] no. Limiting oneself to the essential, this is also the case for Ingrid
[00:07:35] Godin who calls for more fiscal justice, employee,
[00:07:39] with one dependent child, she receives 2200 € monthly from... from the view it's
[00:07:42] not enough compared to the involvement that it represents, we must increase salaries,
[00:07:46] yes, without decreasing social contributions because that is what ensures us a
[00:07:50] system that allows us to get treatment and for people in
[00:07:53] retirement to have a decent income, which is not the case for everyone,
[00:07:57] what is the solution for the rich, fiscal justice, the real
[00:08:01] rich, according to the latest Ipsos barometer for Secours
[00:08:05] Populaire, 26% of French people, or a little more than a quarter of the
[00:08:08] population, consider themselves to be in a precarious
[00:08:10] situation.
[00:08:12] There you go, declassing and impoverishment are not just a feeling, with proof to support
[00:08:16] it from this article by the "Décodeurs du Monde" that you are presenting to us, Ludovic de Foucauld, yes, an
[00:08:20] article that first takes up figures published this summer by INSEE in
[00:08:24] the "Living Standards and Poverty 2024" survey, we will
[00:08:27] discover a visual from INSEE that summarizes the two key figures to
[00:08:31] remember, you see it on the screen, 9.8 million people below
[00:08:35] the poverty line in 2024, so below the poverty line
[00:08:38] in France means less than €1337 per
[00:08:40] month for a single person. less than €2807 for a
[00:08:44] couple with two children under 14 years old, and you said it, it's the highest
[00:08:48] level since 1996, the date at which INSEE measures
[00:08:52] poverty with comparable
[00:08:55] peak of 2011, so that was the financial crisis, and that of
[00:08:58] 2018, so at the time it was the decrease in housing benefits, the increase in fuel prices, and of course the time
[00:09:02] of the Yellow Vests, and what these figures say, so we're going to see the graph that shows
[00:09:05] the evolution since 1996, is that there isn't a
[00:09:11] poverty, but that it's a progression over these last years to
[00:09:15] stabilize at a high level and it's a real stabilization
[00:09:19] between 2023 and 2024, so we observe, we observe statistically
[00:09:23] in France a lasting aggravation of poverty and what is
[00:09:27] strange is that unemployment is falling and employment is increasing
[00:09:30] for 10 years, how can poverty increase at the same time? Exactly, so
[00:09:34] we are in the middle of a French exception which is revealed by the French
[00:09:37] Economic Observatory and we will see a somewhat complicated
[00:09:41] graph with many arrows, there you see, so there are many arrows of
[00:09:45] different colors which represent countries, and you
[00:09:48] see that these arrows tend to go downwards, but the one for France which
[00:09:52] is dark blue and in the middle, well, it goes frankly upwards,
[00:09:56] so what does that mean? It means that elsewhere in Europe, when the labor market
[00:09:59] improves, poverty decreases, but in France since
[00:10:03] 2014, both curves have been rising together, why? Well,
[00:10:06] it's the quality of the jobs created, that's what the observatory tells us,
[00:10:10] the multiplication of precarious contracts, especially
[00:10:14] number of apprenticeships since 2017, because apprentices count as jobs
[00:10:18] in statistics, but their remuneration is below the poverty
[00:10:21] line. Result: one in five self-employed people lives below the
[00:10:25] poverty line compared to less than one employee in 15, so we clearly see a difference here,
[00:10:28] 1/3 of working poor are self-employed and I add that
[00:10:32] this mainly concerns young people, so in France you can get out of unemployment
[00:10:37] poverty, employment protects less than before. France
[00:10:41] which nevertheless has one of the most generous social protection systems in
[00:10:45] Europe, does that mean it no longer works, Ludovic? Well, it still works but
[00:10:48] less well, let's go for another somewhat complicated
[00:10:53] the OFCE, so... there you see many layers of color, it
[00:10:59] redistribution, taxes, oh, it's gone, but it doesn't matter,
[00:11:03] taxes, benefits, minimum social benefits, etc., so this whole process continues to
[00:11:06] reduce the poverty rate by a little more than six points and thus prevents approximately
[00:11:10] 4 million people from becoming poor, but in
[00:11:13] 2013 this rate was 7.7 points, so that means we lost
[00:11:17] in ten years before redistribution, 37% of poor
[00:11:20] households escaped poverty thanks to benefits in 2017, they are only
[00:11:24] 28% in 2023, so why?
[00:11:26] We saw it on the graph, we don't see it anymore, but I will
[00:11:29] explain, it tightened at the level of what was green on the graph, that is, because
[00:11:33] housing allowances decreased and family benefits
[00:11:37] were not very revalued, they did not follow inflation
[00:11:41] of 2022, 2023, well, that's where we see the effect it has. So regarding
[00:11:45] family allowances, I often talk about them here on this set, the lack of family
[00:11:49] policy in France and the priority given to the elderly, we could talk about it for
[00:11:52] hours, these are political choices that have been made. We are paying for them,
[00:11:56] finally, Ludovic, poverty, even in figures, remains, it remains
[00:11:59] abstract, concretely, what does it mean to live below the poverty
[00:12:03] line in France? Well, again, it is measured, INSEE and
[00:12:07] Eurostat define 13 desirable expenses for an acceptable standard of living
[00:12:11] and being deprived of at least five of these expenses means being in material and
[00:12:14] social deprivation, you are discovering this last graph, I promise, it's the last one,
[00:12:18] the one from Le Monde, easier to read this one, and we are talking, as you
[00:12:22] can see in this graph, about very common situations, not being able to... deal with an
[00:12:25] unforeseen expense of 1000 € so for example a boiler or car
[00:12:29] problem, so you see in blue are people in a situation of
[00:12:33] continuous poverty and in this situation, almost 70%
[00:12:37] of these people would not be able to cope
[00:12:40] with this unexpected expense of €100 whereas
[00:12:44] this concerns a little more than one person in 7 in the rest of the population
[00:12:48] so we continue with other concrete examples, not being able to afford a week's holiday in the year,
[00:12:51] that's more than half for the French in the yellow box, so uh, a situation of
[00:12:55] poverty, not being able to heat oneself enough, 23.5%, not
[00:12:58] being able to eat meat or fish every 2 days, 28.2%. So
[00:13:02] across the entire population, these deprivations remain minor, but it is the
[00:13:06] highest level ever measured and what is worrying is not only the
[00:13:10] level but also the duration, 71% of poor people in
[00:13:13] 2023 were still in 2024 and here too it is a
[00:13:17] record, long-term poverty, that is, more than 4 years, has
[00:13:20] almost doubled since 2008, so we are, and this will be the
[00:13:24] concluding remark, on a very worrying scenario in France,
[00:13:27] employment protects less, redistribution cushions less and
[00:13:31] deprivations tend to last, declassing is not just a feeling,
[00:13:34] it is unfortunately very real, very concrete in our country. Thank you very much Ludovic for
[00:13:38] these elements, what is happening in the European sky, for
[00:13:42] 3 days, traffic has been disrupted due to false bomb alerts,
[00:13:46] 12, just this morning, moreover, several planes even had to be
[00:13:49] diverted, this is the case of an A320 from Dublin to Rome which
[00:13:53] had to make an emergency landing in Normandy. Manon Bougot and Audi
[00:13:56] Longuvalle,
[00:13:58] the passengers of this plane were supposed to land in Rome, here they are on
[00:14:02] the tarmac of the Évreux military base within
[00:14:05] the hour, their aircraft was diverted this morning due to a
[00:14:09] bomb alert, we divert the plane to the closest
[00:14:13] possible field that can accommodate it, in this case it must have been the Évreux field which
[00:14:17] is a military field, once the plane is on the ground, we call
[00:14:20] in bomb disposal operators. On board,
[00:14:24] there were... 51 passengers, six crew
[00:14:26] members, it is nearly 8 am this morning when their A320
[00:14:30] airliner from Aer Lingus takes off from
[00:14:33] Dublin heading for Rome, but after an hour of flight, the aircraft changes
[00:14:37] trajectory, it is then escorted by air force
[00:14:41] pilots. A
[00:14:45] and space force thus took off to proceed with
[00:14:48] the interception of this civil aircraft in the Paris sector,
[00:14:51] then its escort to the 105 Evreux-Fauville air base.
[00:14:55] For now, no information has been
[00:14:58] the alert, it is not the only plane that was targeted this morning by a bomb
[00:15:02] alert, there would be at least 11 others, and last Tuesday
[00:15:06] already, Ryanair flights were subject to threats, this is the case
[00:15:10] of this aircraft linking Manchester to Murcia in Spain,
[00:15:13] inspected by bomb disposal experts, these passengers
[00:15:16] evacuate, who sends these alerts and for what purpose?
[00:15:20] Each time the planes are searched and no suspicious
[00:15:23] device has been found so far.
[00:15:26] Also in the news, the consultations continue
[00:15:30] more than a week after the election in Israel, this morning President
[00:15:33] Herzog received a delegation from the United Torah Judaism party. An
[00:15:37] ultra-Orthodox party that refuses this time to join Netanyahu, this is very
[00:15:41] bad news for the outgoing Prime Minister who reiterates his accusations
[00:15:45] of foreign interference which would have favored the Arab parties. For his part,
[00:15:49] Gadi Esenkot sees himself there already, he tries to redefine relations between
[00:15:52] Israelis and Americans after the Democratic wave in Congress. Thibault
[00:15:56] Franceske. He is not yet Prime
[00:16:00] Minister, but Gadi Eisenkot is already projecting himself into the future of Israeli-American
[00:16:04] relations. While...
[00:16:07] negotiations continue to form a government after the legislative
[00:16:13] leader to Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants
[00:16:16] to strengthen ties with the United States. Under
[00:16:19] my leadership, we will renew and strengthen the partnership with the
[00:16:22] United States and consolidate the bipartisan foundations that have long
[00:16:25] supported it. A statement that comes the day after a crucial
[00:16:29] announcement by Donald Trump. He wants to cut American aid to
[00:16:32] Israel, established annually by Barack Obama in
[00:16:36] 2019. The United States has always been a major political
[00:16:39] and financial supporter of the Hebrew state. Last
[00:16:42] year, Israel was the second most aided country by Washington
[00:16:46] after Ukraine. Interviewed by telephone on Fox
[00:16:49] News, Donald Trump speaks of a mutually agreed
[00:16:52] decision. Bibi Netanyahu and I had concluded an
[00:16:56] agreement providing that we would pay $4 billion a year to Israel
[00:17:00] and we agreed a few months ago to end it. On their
[00:17:03] side, this suits them, because as you know, it has become a very prosperous country.
[00:17:07] They no longer need it. The announcement also comes at a time when Democrats have just
[00:17:11] won the midterm elections, and if Joe Biden
[00:17:14] was conciliatory with the Hebrew state until his departure, other
[00:17:18] Democrats did not hesitate to criticize the scale of the war in Gaza and the number of
[00:17:22] victims, the American Congress could therefore be less
[00:17:25] inclined to help Israel in the future,
[00:17:29] the victory of the Democrats which shuffles the geopolitical cards, we understood that,
[00:17:33] Anne Corpe, you have joined us, hello, first the
[00:17:37] American aid? Yes, well, it's not a done deal since the president
[00:17:41] keeps his hand on foreign policy but Congress which
[00:17:44] holds the purse strings may be able to
[00:17:48] negotiate with the executive a resumption of aid to
[00:17:52] Kiev in exchange for concessions made to Donald
[00:17:56] Trump or the re-establishment of sanctions that the
[00:17:59] president recently lifted, sanctions of course against
[00:18:03] Russia, anxious about his mark
[00:18:06] in history. Donald Trump will in any case undoubtedly want to
[00:18:10] move forward to resolve this Ukrainian conflict which he had promised
[00:18:13] to settle in 24 hours.
[00:18:17] Melania Trump is also receiving today a Russian delegation and a
[00:18:21] Ukrainian delegation. Zelensky is in Spain,
[00:18:24] I'm interrupting you because we see the image, yes, Zelensky meets the
[00:18:28] Europeans. Melania Trump, it's not the first
[00:18:31] time she's been involved in the issue, she had intervened to
[00:18:35] help Ukrainian children kidnapped by the Russians return to
[00:18:38] their country and then more recently she had
[00:18:41] participated in negotiations to impose a truce in
[00:18:45] the city of Oleshky occupied by the Russians
[00:18:48] to facilitate, pardon me, the evacuation of the
[00:18:51] population. Moreover, Volodymyr Zelensky presented her
[00:18:55] with a medal to commend her efforts
[00:18:59] in humanitarian aid. On the
[00:19:01] political front, an important meeting is planned next week in Abu
[00:19:04] Dhabi between Ukrainians and Russians under the auspices of the
[00:19:08] Americans. This type of meeting has not occurred since last
[00:19:12] February, and the Ukrainian president
[00:19:16] spoke at length yesterday with American envoys Jared
[00:19:20] Kushner and Steve Widkov, he again
[00:19:24] insisted on the need for new Patriot air defense
[00:19:27] missiles and also
[00:19:31] to obtain security guarantees in the event of a
[00:19:34] ceasefire. Russia, for its part, continues to
[00:19:38] rely on Donald Trump's more than conciliatory
[00:19:42] attitude towards it. The Kremlin highlighted the efforts of
[00:19:45] President Trump in favor of peace and Moscow
[00:19:48] does not seem to expect much from these talks.
[00:19:52] In any case, the Kremlin spokesman declared
[00:19:55] that Russia's interests will be guaranteed either by
[00:19:59] military means or by peaceful means, but
[00:20:02] that if a new personality emerged in
[00:20:06] Kyiv, in other words, no discussion
[00:20:10] possible with Volodymyr Zelensky for Moscow. What about Iran, does this
[00:20:13] new situation in the American Congress mean the end of the war? Well, there was this
[00:20:17] famous message from the American Vice-President on social
[00:20:20] networks who attributed the war
[00:20:24] in Iran to the failure of the Republican
[00:20:26] Corps in the midterm elections. Donald Trump
[00:20:30] himself acknowledged that the conflict had weighed in the
[00:20:34] balance due to the increase
[00:20:37] in fuel prices, but Donald Trump fully accepts
[00:20:41] his entry into war against Iran, he believes it was
[00:20:45] necessary. So, several times during the campaign, the American
[00:20:49] president clearly considered
[00:20:52] the resumption of massive strikes on
[00:20:55] Iran after these mid-terms he notably considered bombing
[00:20:59] you know the mountain of the pickaxe under which nuclear
[00:21:03] installations are hidden, so such an escalation would
[00:21:06] obviously lead to a new rise in oil prices
[00:21:09] which would increase American anger, even if he has nothing left to
[00:21:13] lose politically, Donald Trump is still concerned about
[00:21:17] his image. So he could favor
[00:21:21] an agreement to get out
[00:21:24] of this conflict, the problem is that the situation is much more
[00:21:27] complicated than before the war, there is obviously the question of the Strait
[00:21:31] of Hormuz, the Iranians maintain their
[00:21:34] desire to impose transit fees on this strategic
[00:21:38] strait, which is contrary to international law, and then there was
[00:21:42] the entry into the war of the Houthis who continue
[00:21:45] to attack Saudi Arabia, there were alerts
[00:21:49] this morning on the port of Yanbu, this is where the Saudi
[00:21:53] pipeline arrives through which a part of Saudi
[00:21:56] oil transits, prevented from passing through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:21:59] and there were even missile alerts
[00:22:03] on the Medina region in Saudi Arabia. In short, the
[00:22:07] negotiations promise to be complicated, they involve
[00:22:10] many actors and it is not certain that Donald Trump
[00:22:14] can get out of this quagmire easily. Thank you
[00:22:18] very much Anne, the lines are also moving
[00:22:22] internally in the United States, they are even shaking among Republicans,
[00:22:24] Mathieu Mabin, we find you for your daily column
[00:22:28] from Washington, hello to you, Anne said, Jed Devens questioned
[00:22:32] the war in Iran in the defeat of the right, the war that was
[00:22:35] unleashed by Trump, is there trouble in paradise between the president and his
[00:22:38] second?
[00:22:43] So he's clearly distancing himself, yes, that's for sure, traditionally when a
[00:22:47] sitting president passes this election period. and
[00:22:50] approaches the end of his second term, as is the case for
[00:22:53] Donald Trump, the post-term marks, it's
[00:22:57] true, the beginning of a new political sequence that will eventually lead to
[00:23:00] the presidential election, but this time we can say that the
[00:23:04] catastrophe recorded by the Republicans, because there are no other words, sounds
[00:23:07] like a premature
[00:23:10] the race to succeed the outgoing president, in fact
[00:23:14] those who have spoken out to distance themselves from Donald Trump, it's not
[00:23:18] just Jin Evanes. and criticize the strategy that was
[00:23:22] his for this election are those who will undoubtedly align
[00:23:26] for the Republican primary and the first of them is indeed
[00:23:29] the natural candidate, the sitting vice-president
[00:23:32] Jidevans. we know
[00:23:35] over the Oval Office that the legacy will be difficult to
[00:23:39] assume, it's pretty much a certainty with a character like that in the
[00:23:42] White House, we've been talking about it for 2 years, look at the
[00:23:46] convolutions that Marco Roubiot, for example, has to endure.
[00:23:50] by the head of American diplomacy to
[00:23:53] formulate a coherent and structured diplomatic statement after
[00:23:56] the impossible-to-assume statements of his president,
[00:23:59] but who can accept to take
[00:24:03] on this defeat today, that's the question, nobody really, not even
[00:24:06] Donald Trump whose triumphalist slogans a bit
[00:24:10] disconnected from reality abruptly ended a little over
[00:24:13] 24 hours ago, you must have noticed, Nikki Haley,
[00:24:17] you remember that name, she had been... a tenacious
[00:24:22] last Republican primary, well she reappeared in
[00:24:26] recent hours to heavily criticize not only the
[00:24:30] president but the entire Republican administration. Ron DeSantis
[00:24:33] also, who was also running in the primary in
[00:24:36] 2024, he's the governor of Florida who presents
[00:24:39] himself as in this chaos that is hitting the Republican
[00:24:43] party as the last standing Roman state, so to speak, and it's true that
[00:24:46] Florida after the catastrophic collapse of...
[00:24:50] Texas appears as the last red bastion
[00:24:53] on the American electoral map, there are many others
[00:24:57] obviously and this is only the beginning finally, but yes the
[00:25:00] vice-president's position is somewhat uncomfortable and these
[00:25:03] first statements announce
[00:25:06] a cohabitation with Donald Trump that will be quite complicated for the
[00:25:10] next two years, which could become interminable for
[00:25:13] him, that's clear. Now, also pay attention
[00:25:16] to Donald Trump's reaction because it's interesting. "He
[00:25:20] doesn't disavow his vice-president yet, even though we know
[00:25:24] Donald Trump's propensity to execute those who risk,
[00:25:28] even the slightest infidelity.
[00:25:30] Vans says the war is the reason for their
[00:25:34] defeat. Trump replies that that's largely true, especially
[00:25:38] because of the rise in gas prices, but he adds that he would make
[00:25:42] exactly the same decision today as the one he made in recent
[00:25:45] months. In other words, they both recognize the electoral cost of
[00:25:48] the conflict. Their difference lies in what this
[00:25:52] political sacrifice could ultimately justify, and
[00:25:55] among the Democrats, Mathieu, since everyone is looking towards 2028, are
[00:25:59] we already starting to draw the political consequences of this very good
[00:26:02] sequence?
[00:26:07] Yeah, and it starts with a very concrete
[00:26:10] battle, who will lead this new majority and for what
[00:26:13] globally? It's a real question, in the House,
[00:26:17] Hakeem Jeffries is in a position to become the next speaker, he's the
[00:26:20] natural candidate, the first black person to hold this position. In the
[00:26:24] Senate, it's Chuck Schumer who thinks he will retain the leadership of the Democrats,
[00:26:27] even if several new elected officials have already announced that they will not
[00:26:31] support him. The cracks are starting to
[00:26:35] appear, the victory in fact does not therefore
[00:26:38] make the demands for renewal disappear, nor the
[00:26:41] divergences between moderates and progressives, which will be an essential
[00:26:45] factor in the next two years, these
[00:26:47] progressives will want to reap the dividends of their
[00:26:51] victory in Michigan, for example, moreover this new
[00:26:54] major political figure, moreover to answer your question directly,
[00:26:58] the first announcements are very
[00:27:01] aggressive. Garcia has called to lead the
[00:27:04] House Oversight Committee, he
[00:27:06] warns administration
[00:27:10] prepare their lawyers because lawsuits will be
[00:27:14] frequent, regular, aggressive. So
[00:27:17] we must prepare on our side to cover very dense news
[00:27:21] around the multiple investigative committees that will be launched, it's not a
[00:27:24] surprise in the coming days, and then I'll finish
[00:27:28] with this, Senator Ron Wyden announces binding
[00:27:31] subpoenas. The affairs of the Trump family and possible
[00:27:35] conflicts of interest are already in their sights with obviously
[00:27:39] the 2028 presidential election in perspective. Bring on
[00:27:43] 2028, thank you very much Mathieu Mabin and see you
[00:27:46] soon. We'll be back in 2 minutes, we'll talk about
