[00:02:15] What consequences could such a rise have for the Croatian economy and
[00:02:18] citizens? Should we fear shortages? Find out in the rest of
[00:02:22] the show.
[00:02:37] Split will say goodbye tomorrow to music legend Mate Mišo
[00:02:40] Kovač who passed away on Saturday at 86 years
[00:02:44] old. On Wednesday, a commemoration is expected in Zagreb's
[00:02:47] Lisinski, followed by a burial at Mirogoj. And today at
[00:02:50] 5 PM, the farewell began in Šibenik, where
[00:02:54] our Vesela Šegvić Kordić is located.
[00:02:57] Vesela, how is Šibenik saying goodbye to Mišo?
[00:03:01] What is it, how else would Šibenik say goodbye to
[00:03:05] Mišo than with his song, we are currently in front of
[00:03:09] the cathedral in the square where numerous,
[00:03:13] numerous citizens and many people from Šibenik have gathered to
[00:03:17] bid farewell to Mate Mišo with Mišo's song.
[00:03:20] Kovač for the last time with a song, With us is
[00:03:23] from the Croatian Music Union of Šibenik
[00:03:25] County Vojislav Rošin, Vojimir Rošin.
[00:03:30] Excuse me, Mr. Rošin, who was Mate, Rošin, who
[00:03:33] was Mate Mišo Kovač, you were also his drummer,
[00:03:37] Mate Mišo Kovač was primarily a Šibenik native,
[00:03:41] a Dalmatian, a Croat, an ordinary and
[00:03:44] normal man, with incredible singing
[00:03:47] talent, a singer from the people, for the people,
[00:03:50] not an intellectual singer, I won't list them, whom the entire former
[00:03:54] state and this of
[00:03:57] area our former common life
[00:04:01] embraced, who from Berovo
[00:04:04] on the Macedonian border to Šentilj on
[00:04:08] the Austrian border filled halls and there is no village and
[00:04:11] town where we haven't been. Mišo was the biggest star of these
[00:04:15] areas, what you see here
[00:04:18] proves it. Only in Šibenik he wasn't a star because in Šibenik
[00:04:21] no one is a star, the same in
[00:04:23] Split. There are no
[00:04:26] stars there. He always remained our little Mišo.
[00:04:30] Little Mišo, whoever is here, like our little Dražen
[00:04:33] Petrović, so everything is
[00:04:36] clear, I repeat, Mišo was a man of the people, for the people
[00:04:40] and we will remember him as such, naturally with
[00:04:44] all his flaws and virtues, Mr. Roša, you were with
[00:04:47] him a lot, you played with him a lot, you were his drummer, do you have any
[00:04:51] anecdotes, anything you can tell us, there are thousands of anecdotes
[00:04:54] , now how to
[00:04:57] remember, when he refused to sing for Tito, that was, that was, that
[00:05:01] was the main thing, one terrible thing that was terrible at the time, who
[00:05:05] literally told General
[00:05:08] Kosa if he was normal, that how he thought we would cancel
[00:05:12] a packed hall where we go to sing to the marshal,
[00:05:15] this one didn't know what to answer, but he said I understand and
[00:05:18] left. Mišo understood the audience best,
[00:05:22] everyone will say and everyone will remember him for that, Mišo would
[00:05:25] start singing, raise his hands in the air the rest was all up to
[00:05:29] the audience, it wasn't like that at the beginning, at the beginning there were only hands
[00:05:33] and it was unbelievable for me, because I
[00:05:36] came from a completely different milieu to his band, from
[00:05:40] a rock band to an orchestra. Pelisat and now I come
[00:05:43] to Mišo at the first performance I see that it's a completely
[00:05:47] different audience, a huge number of people, but who are these, and when
[00:05:51] he raises his hands, everyone starts singing, I say what's happening, in the
[00:05:55] end others tried and still try today, but
[00:05:59] Mišo is the only one and this
[00:06:02] evening proves it with one call for us all to come together without
[00:06:06] fanfare, without pomp, simply we in the Croatian
[00:06:10] Music Union wanted how... Mišo is from the people,
[00:06:12] spontaneous, he is a spontaneous
[00:06:16] star, he had no chance to become
[00:06:19] a star, he was not a member of any clan, he was not Rock Hudson
[00:06:22] physically, nor Pavarotti by
[00:06:26] vocal, but he had a perfect vocal for what he
[00:06:29] sang, for what he did
[00:06:32] incredibly but true he did what
[00:06:36] no one else did, nor will in the future, I'm not saying
[00:06:39] that because I was a drummer in his orchestra for so long,
[00:06:43] orchestra leader, drove a van,
[00:06:46] main manager, I'm saying that because it's
[00:06:50] true and we all know it and finally one
[00:06:53] more question, today his native Šibenik is saying goodbye to
[00:06:56] him, tomorrow Poljud, is Poljud the right place
[00:07:00] for a concert considering that we know
[00:07:03] how much Mišo loved Hajduk, uh,
[00:07:07] I can't go into that, it seems that Torcida
[00:07:10] took over. "In Šibenik we didn't imagine it
[00:07:14] that way, therefore, it's their right and I hope
[00:07:18] it will turn out as it should, otherwise such things
[00:07:22] are done after a year with great preparations and
[00:07:25] it's not easy for Torcida or anyone to organize it tomorrow
[00:07:28] with sound system at the stadium, band
[00:07:32] singing, we professionals in this business always
[00:07:36] imagine it differently, mm, it has to be somehow
[00:07:40] perfect, if you remember..." many people don't
[00:07:43] remember when Freddie Mercury died, the tribute for him at Wembley in front of
[00:07:47] 150 thousand people and two billion who watched
[00:07:51] was a year after his death,
[00:07:54] so it's never too late to pay
[00:07:57] tribute and recognition to Mišo, it's never too late, but I wish them
[00:08:01] all the best tomorrow for it to succeed, but that's his
[00:08:04] Hajduk whom he loved the most, he loved him more than himself, one could say that, well
[00:08:08] these are Mišo's, as he liked to say, he was...
[00:08:12] a Hajduk fan like everyone else who loves Hajduk, right?
[00:08:15] Only Šibenik is special, it has a majority
[00:08:19] of fans for Dinamo, the people of Split know that. Mr. Rošo, thank
[00:08:23] you very much for this interview. Thank you for inviting me.
[00:08:25] So, tomorrow preparations are underway, tomorrow
[00:08:29] a big concert at Poljud is being prepared. At
[00:08:32] 4 PM, Poljud will be open to all visitors,
[00:08:36] to all visitors, tickets have already been snapped
[00:08:39] up. They are free, everything
[00:08:43] starts at 5 PM, it will last
[00:08:46] about an hour and 15 minutes, after
[00:08:50] which the coffin of Mate Mišo Kovač should pass along the tartan
[00:08:53] track at Split's Poljud, more about
[00:08:56] the organization of tomorrow's concert will be discussed by Marinko Akrap from the Hajduk Board
[00:09:00] and Tomislav Mrduljaš from the Croatian Music Union. I suggest we listen
[00:09:03] to
[00:09:05] it.
[00:09:09] Split is preparing its own
[00:09:13] farewell to our dear Mišo from Poljud, we dealt with the
[00:09:16] selection of performers by choosing
[00:09:19] those who were his friends who can uh
[00:09:23] sing songs that
[00:09:27] people would want to sing along with them at the stadium. I am
[00:09:31] sure that all performers who perform
[00:09:34] will hear the audience more than the performers themselves. Regarding
[00:09:37] the performers, we opted for people mm
[00:09:41] who mm... followed Mišo's life and whom he
[00:09:45] respected as performers, so we have Đuliano, we have
[00:09:48] Grdović, we have this Klapa Rišpet,
[00:09:51] Nižetić, Alen and Olja and
[00:09:54] this, I think Dražen Zečić too, this, in any
[00:09:57] case, I think it's a good selection of performers
[00:10:01] in a way this they will best illustrate the
[00:10:04] program that we wanted to present tomorrow.
[00:10:06] prezentirati,
[00:10:10] So, given this event, unfortunately
[00:10:12] we also had a situation where fate wanted us to receive
[00:10:16] the information precisely during the match, you saw for yourselves how Poljud
[00:10:20] reacted then, we considered it together, we, mm
[00:10:23] as Hajduk, as a club,
[00:10:27] Torcida and the Croatian Music Union, that we then have an obligation to
[00:10:31] our dear Mišo, and to all his
[00:10:34] fans who are also, well Hajduk fans, to
[00:10:37] do something, and for that reason this musical
[00:10:41] farewell, a big send-off will happen right there in
[00:10:44] Poljud, the plan is that tomorrow, meaning
[00:10:48] on Tuesday at 4 PM we will open
[00:10:51] the entrances, all entrances regarding Poljud.
[00:10:55] to receive all those who will pick up
[00:10:58] their free tickets
[00:11:01] on time.
[00:11:09] Mate Mišo Kovać had a career lasting
[00:11:12] fifty years, numerous generations grew up
[00:11:16] with his music, exactly that music, all his
[00:11:19] songs are being sung today in his native Šibenik, tomorrow
[00:11:23] his song will echo through Poljud,
[00:11:27] the world, some say he almost
[00:11:30] loved it more than himself, tomorrow is the concert at 5 PM
[00:11:34] at Split's Poljud, Split's Poljud opens its gates from
[00:11:38] 4 PM, you can expect that the concert will last between
[00:11:41] 45 minutes and an hour and 15 minutes, after which
[00:11:45] the coffin should pass along the tartan track
[00:11:48] of Split's Poljud, we will follow everything live on
[00:11:52] N1 Television.
[00:11:55] That's right, Vesela, we're following everything, both today and tomorrow, this was
[00:11:58] our Vesela Šegvić Kordić from Šibenik, and the government has
[00:12:02] declared tomorrow a day of national mourning in
[00:12:06] honor of Mate Mišo Kovač, as a tribute to the musician
[00:12:09] who, as Vesela said, almost half a century marked
[00:12:13] the Croatian music scene. How much of a symbol and how much of a trace
[00:12:16] he actually leaves, is also testified by the citizens of Split with whom we spoke
[00:12:19] today. And what to say about Mišo, he was
[00:12:23] a great one. symbol of Dalmatia,
[00:12:26] Split and all I mean all of Croatia, so
[00:12:30] this is a great loss for all of us,
[00:12:34] childhood,
[00:12:36] youth, concerts and a man who
[00:12:40] essentially lived for the people, he gave
[00:12:43] everything to the people, always with an open heart in his
[00:12:46] tragedies and in his victories,
[00:12:50] my, my youth and then everything is
[00:12:53] connected in some letters, something touches, then this
[00:12:57] and then that, and then Mišo is a legend
[00:13:00] forever, well Mišo was a legend
[00:13:03] irreplaceable mm he left behind
[00:13:06] a legacy of numerous hits that will be
[00:13:09] listened to, they were listened to and will be listened to for many
[00:13:13] many years after that, meaning as long
[00:13:16] as we exist, Mišo
[00:13:18] will exist.
[00:13:20] Journalist Zvonko Alać was a guest on New Day and said that
[00:13:24] Mišo was much more than a singer, especially for Dalmatians
[00:13:27] whose lives were marked by his songs, he highlighted his charisma, life path and
[00:13:30] ability to connect the audience,
[00:13:34] as well as the fact that he was a symbol of Dalmatia and all of
[00:13:37] Croatia.
[00:13:40] Mišo is for every Dalmatian a companion from birth to
[00:13:43] death, so it was no different for me either,
[00:13:47] especially I consider Mišo Kovač to be a true
[00:13:50] singer for Dalmatians in Zagreb, which he
[00:13:53] himself was. "Because no one can translate that
[00:13:57] nostalgia and longing, sadness for
[00:14:00] his homeland, which is still so close yet so far, we all
[00:14:04] eternally swear that we will return, but in the end, well, we somehow remain in
[00:14:08] Zagreb for life, Mišo, towards the end of his life, still
[00:14:12] remained faithful to his song and returned, but
[00:14:16] it is quite significant that Mišo, that Mišo for his final
[00:14:19] resting place, still chose Zagreb, meaning the circle
[00:14:22] closed from Šibenik." and then from
[00:14:25] Zagreb, somehow these are the cities that marked Mišo, his
[00:14:29] life, these are his, I think, and greatest loves, Dalmatia and Zagreb,
[00:14:32] somehow it all
[00:14:34] united.
[00:14:36] And tomorrow, be with us from 4 PM, because we are preparing
[00:14:40] a special broadcast for you in which we will discuss the legacy of
[00:14:43] Mate Mišo Kovač in the studio. Our reporters from the field will report on
[00:14:47] the farewell, and from 5 PM we will broadcast live the program from
[00:14:50] Poljud. And today we said goodbye to another
[00:14:54] music giant. At noon, in the small hall of the Vatroslav
[00:14:57] Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb, a commemoration was held for Goran
[00:15:01] Bare. The legendary frontman of Majke who passed away on October
[00:15:04] 9th at the age of 61. The farewell was
[00:15:07] organized by members of his band and the record label Croatia
[00:15:11] Records. Bare was buried in his native Vinkovci,
[00:15:14] after his death numerous fans gathered in
[00:15:18] Zagreb's Zapruđe, where with lanterns and his songs
[00:15:21] they paid tribute to the musician. Majke was founded in 19
[00:15:25] 84. with his uncompromising
[00:15:28] rock and songs like "Heavy Colors", he marked more than
[00:15:32] four decades of the domestic music
[00:15:34] scene.
[00:15:38] "He played a magnificent concert at the legendary Bingels
[00:15:42] club, luckily for us, everything was recorded with
[00:15:45] sound and cameras, essentially he thus
[00:15:49] entered
[00:15:51] eternity,
[00:15:54] thanks to today's technologies, our
[00:15:57] Goran, his mercenaries, his mothers
[00:16:01] and all that they created is available
[00:16:04] to every inhabitant of this planet.
[00:16:08] And that is perhaps the message, that is
[00:16:12] the message for all new generations to
[00:16:15] listen to him,
[00:16:17] to see him in videos that are impressive
[00:16:21] to remember that in this
[00:16:23] area there was and will be a great
[00:16:27] musical genius Goran
[00:16:30] Bare.
[00:16:34] for him to become one of our greatest poets. "I
[00:16:37] think his poetry should be included
[00:16:41] in the curriculum, because why not talk
[00:16:45] about him as a rock and roll Tin
[00:16:48] Ujević or Ivan Goran Kovačić, if
[00:16:51] you will, and simply his poetry functioned
[00:16:54] not only with his voice and with the music
[00:16:57] of Majke or Plaćenici, depending on which albums we are talking about, but
[00:17:01] also paper, if you read
[00:17:05] his poems, it's..." poetry that must be believed,
[00:17:21] whoever does the same job should be equally
[00:17:24] paid for it, but how to verify that if you don't know by what
[00:17:27] criteria the employer even determines the salary, this is exactly what
[00:17:31] the new amendments to the labor law should change,
[00:17:34] employers will have to clearly value jobs. Explain
[00:17:38] how individual salaries are reached, workers will receive
[00:17:41] more information and the possibility of comparing earnings. Rules for using
[00:17:45] annual leave are also changing. The law was released today for
[00:17:48] public consultation, details are brought by Viktorija
[00:17:51] Kristić. New rules for salaries and
[00:17:55] annual leave are coming. Employers will have to clearly define how much
[00:17:58] each job is worth, workers will have the right to
[00:18:01] information on how their salaries are determined and whether they are
[00:18:05] equally paid for equal work. Salary secrecy will no longer be able
[00:18:09] to be imposed by contracts, and the deadlines for using annual
[00:18:13] leave are also changing. You have a category of job by
[00:18:16] description which must be equal and you must have clear
[00:18:20] criteria when the person working in that position will
[00:18:23] receive a higher salary, so you can add bonuses, you can
[00:18:27] reward someone's skills, you can
[00:18:30] reward length of service, but everything that goes
[00:18:33] into the salary must be objective, it must be gender-neutral, that... What
[00:18:37] is valued through this methodology that all
[00:18:40] employers, meaning all valuation, are job descriptions, not
[00:18:44] the people who work in those jobs. Employers will need to sign
[00:18:48] describe jobs, classify them according to prescribed
[00:18:51] criteria and determine whether they belong to the same complexity group.
[00:18:55] In the Croatian Employers' Association, they claim, we expect a lot
[00:18:58] of administrative work. For example, you have an obligation to
[00:19:02] evaluate jobs, where you
[00:19:04] must list all jobs
[00:19:08] in the company, you must describe them, and then you
[00:19:11] must pass them through at least four
[00:19:14] objective criteria prescribed by the directive
[00:19:18] or the draft law, then you must
[00:19:22] evaluate them and according to those evaluations you must
[00:19:26] place them in the same groups of complexity. On the other hand,
[00:19:29] workers will have the opportunity to check if they are paid
[00:19:33] equally for work of equal value. They will be able to
[00:19:36] request information. Criteria for determining salary, as well as data
[00:19:39] on average earnings of comparable jobs,
[00:19:42] if they find they are short-changed, they can sue
[00:19:45] the employer. Until now, one somehow had to believe
[00:19:49] that salaries were indeed equal for
[00:19:53] equal work or work of equal value,
[00:19:56] now the concept of transparency
[00:19:59] is being introduced because you cannot expect
[00:20:03] a worker to prove what you don't
[00:20:05] allow him to find out.
[00:20:08] Now it will actually be made
[00:20:11] clearer, more visible by criteria and ways,
[00:20:15] through which it will be shown. This does not mean that employees
[00:20:19] will have insight into the specific salaries of their colleagues. Changes
[00:20:22] also bring greater flexibility in using annual leave.
[00:20:26] Employees who, for justified reasons, could not use it,
[00:20:30] will be able to carry it over significantly longer than before, which now
[00:20:33] the labor law will enable that when it comes to
[00:20:36] adoption. some leave or when it comes to, I don't know, family
[00:20:40] leave, the worker will be able to carry over that annual leave
[00:20:44] until the end of the following year, or
[00:20:47] no later than 15 months from... uh gaining the right
[00:20:51] for the current year, so we are now in 2026.
[00:20:54] If for any of the reasons I mentioned, a male or
[00:20:57] female worker will not be able to exercise their right to annual leave, they will be able to use it
[00:21:01] until March 31,
[00:21:04] 2028. The goal of the new rules
[00:21:08] is not an automatic increase in wages but to ensure transparency
[00:21:11] and equality. The law was today released for public consultation
[00:21:16] comment. Viktorija Kristić, N1.
[00:21:21] Zagreb Holding today received the verdict
[00:21:24] of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia which confirmed the earlier decision
[00:21:28] of the County Court from September 30th that the strike
[00:21:31] of the Zagreb Holding union was illegal. The President
[00:21:35] of the Management Board of Zagreb Holding Ivan Novaković stated that they were
[00:21:39] satisfied with this decision of the Supreme Court and that the holding
[00:21:42] continues to work on reaching an agreement on a new collective agreement
[00:21:46] for the employees of Zagreb Holding.
[00:21:50] New USKOK action due to suspicion of corruption. Arrests
[00:21:54] and searches are being carried out in Zagreb, Osijek and Krapina-Zagorje
[00:21:58] County, the investigation covers eight people. The
[00:22:01] focus is on the Zabok General Hospital and the Croatian Veterans' Hospital. According to
[00:22:05] unofficial information, among the suspects is the head of the hospital's
[00:22:08] technical-service department. He is suspected
[00:22:12] of taking bribes to enable people sentenced to community service
[00:22:15] to avoid that obligation. The investigation also covers suspicions
[00:22:19] that hospital employees performed private work on his
[00:22:22] properties and that there were irregularities in public
[00:22:25] procurement, the hospital confirms that they received a request from the police to
[00:22:29] seize documentation related
[00:22:32] state that they are fully cooperating
[00:22:35] with the investigators.
[00:22:38] And this morning, the General Hospital Zabok and the Hospital
[00:22:42] of Croatian Veterans, received
[00:22:46] a notification from the Krapina-Zagorje Police Department about
[00:22:49] conducting a criminal investigation and the
[00:22:52] need to seize certain documentation that
[00:22:56] relates to one employee of the hospital,
[00:22:59] currently that action is actually underway, preparing the requested
[00:23:03] documentation, our hospital cooperates with all competent
[00:23:07] authorities, the hospital functions normally in all its
[00:23:10] segments and given that it is a criminal
[00:23:13] investigation that is ongoing, we are unable
[00:23:17] to provide any further information about the
[00:23:20] procedure itself, generally you cooperate with institutions, yes, of course, from
[00:23:23] the very beginning, all the time, all the necessary documentation they
[00:23:27] need, we provide it, they conduct
[00:23:30] interviews and everything is proceeding as usual, how did you feel
[00:23:34] when you received such a notification, well, of course one is always
[00:23:37] surprised, right, but here we go, we must
[00:23:41] respect all institutions of the Republic of Croatia and we will do
[00:23:45] so.
[00:23:58] The United States of America will go to the midterm elections tomorrow, in which
[00:24:01] the new composition of Congress will be decided, i.e. the power balance between
[00:24:05] Republicans and Democrats. Donald Trump, at his last pre-election
[00:24:09] rally in Kansas, called on voters to support Republicans and help
[00:24:13] them retain the majority in Congress. In a last-ditch effort to mobilize
[00:24:16] voters, he also announced billions of dollars in investments in.
[00:24:29] other presidents. I don't believe, I'm sure, couldn't be, couldn't be
[00:24:33] possible, has done what I've done in the last two weeks, I mean what
[00:24:36] we've done, we have traveled far and
[00:24:39] wide.
[00:24:45] Now, we've campaigned and I've enjoyed it. This is actually, this is our
[00:24:49] last stop. We clear down tonight, but we've had a great
[00:24:52] time. The people, the love in this country is uh, is
[00:24:55] unbelievable. But all I'm asking you to do is one thing, get out
[00:24:59] and vote, because if you do, uh, we're going to have a
[00:25:02] tremendous success. Let's make the next two
[00:25:06] years bigger and better and stronger than ever before,
[00:25:09] because together we will make America
[00:25:13] powerful again, wealthy again, healthy
[00:25:16] again, strong again, proud again, safe again.
[00:25:30] Trump's pre-election rally in Kansas gathered both his
[00:25:34] supporters and opponents. While some believe he fulfills his
[00:25:37] promises, others hope for a political turnaround in
[00:25:40] the traditionally Republican state. Protesters
[00:25:44] say they are fed up with Trump's policies and rising living
[00:25:48] costs. "we are one of the reddest states in
[00:25:52] the union. Um, and like I, I
[00:25:55] believe if, if we can flip Kansas, that will give the
[00:25:59] rest of the nation hope, that that these even
[00:26:02] if you don't think that coming to a protest and holding a
[00:26:06] sign, whatever your message is, if you don't think
[00:26:09] that's effective, it is effective. We're getting to these people,
[00:26:13] we're letting them know and it's, it's because we, we stand, we
[00:26:17] maintain and we don't stop. Kansas is a deeply red state. We, we do have a
[00:26:21] couple of democratic governors, but we have a super majority in our Kansas state.
[00:26:25] house, and we can't get anything passed for the people, people are
[00:26:28] really sick of the status quo, they're sick of the smagga, they're sick of $6 dollar galling.
[00:26:32] diesel, our farmers are hurting, I'm not worried, I really ain't, I
[00:26:36] mean, Trump is doing everything he says he's going to
[00:26:39] do, and I just, I'm
[00:26:42] boring, he says what he's going to do, I just, I have
[00:26:46] lot of faith in the man,
[00:26:49] we will now go live to Washington, where our
[00:26:53] Nina Kljenak is reporting on the American congressional
[00:26:56] elections. Nina, what kind of conversations have been happening
[00:26:59] in recent days, what is the atmosphere like in Washington?
[00:27:05] These are officially, of course, the American elections for Congress, representatives are being elected
[00:27:09] to the House of Representatives and members of the Senate, however Donald
[00:27:12] Trump himself made it so that the elections are for him
[00:27:16] or against him, he himself visits all rallies,
[00:27:20] 30, all together in the last month, he tells
[00:27:23] voters, circle my name on the ballot, or
[00:27:27] behave as if
[00:27:29] my name is there, as for
[00:27:33] some estimates or
[00:27:37] exit polls, one must be very
[00:27:40] careful, considering that voters who
[00:27:43] usually favor Republican candidates do not
[00:27:46] have the habit of giving their opinion in these polls, so at this
[00:27:50] moment all polls say that Democrats will
[00:27:53] win the majority in the House of Representatives in the Senate,
[00:27:57] which they certainly did not hope for eight months ago, but then the
[00:28:00] Israeli-American attack on Iran changed everything. because it
[00:28:04] changed prices, it changed fuel, it changed what
[00:28:08] is most important to every average voter here, which is how they will get to the end of the month, so what Trump
[00:28:12] is saying, or what he was saying at those rallies, is
[00:28:15] that Democrats are communists, Democrats are
[00:28:18] terrorists, Democrats will take your
[00:28:21] children, Democrats will turn the United
[00:28:24] States of America into hell, the question is how much of that
[00:28:27] reached the voters, because what citizens tell us is, it's important
[00:28:31] to me that I make it to the end of the month, it's important to me that fuel
[00:28:35] costs at most a dollar, now fuel
[00:28:38] is per liter, of course, now fuel is
[00:28:40] 1.66
[00:28:43] cents, diesel per liter, which is, for example, a 70% increase
[00:28:47] in a year for the average American,
[00:28:50] unimaginable, food, housing, some finances
[00:28:53] have been cut, some funding for things that are very
[00:28:57] important to people, healthcare, education, we talked to
[00:29:00] people, yesterday we met a teacher at a gas station
[00:29:04] who very vividly and graphically
[00:29:07] described what the biggest
[00:29:09] problems are.
[00:29:12] how are you managing everything? it's terrible. um, i
[00:29:15] a teacher, um, i work as teacher full-time,
[00:29:19] and i um, also have a part-time job, and
[00:29:23] i have had to take a third job. um, i
[00:29:27] have family of, you know, five, i have
[00:29:30] five children, uh, two. will live with me with two
[00:29:34] grandchildren, i have a son um and my husband's
[00:29:37] a diabetic so it has been
[00:29:40] extremely overwhelming um i just had
[00:29:44] huge hit um with my
[00:29:47] plumbing at at my house it's like $9,00 and i'm like where
[00:29:51] i going to get this money from um just everything has
[00:29:54] just you know exploded in our faces with
[00:29:58] um being able to cover basic you know gas and and basic
[00:30:02] food, the the prices, I'm I'm shopping every, you know, basically
[00:30:06] every week, um, and it went from maybe
[00:30:09] 150, 120 to now double that, we're paying like
[00:30:13] 324 for just your basic necessities,
[00:30:17] and um, I honestly I don't know what we're going to do,
[00:30:20] because it's all been downhill, you know,
[00:30:23] um, the administration has just taken us to
[00:30:27] help, and it's unfortunate because what
[00:30:29] administration, local one or national?
[00:30:33] "I mean, Shapiro, Donald Trump, no, no, I mean, I feel like
[00:30:37] Shapiro is is doing the best that
[00:30:40] he can do with you, the tools that he has been
[00:30:43] given, um, and I feel like we we all work
[00:30:47] like that, you know, you, you can only do as much as you
[00:30:50] have, um, and that, it comes from national
[00:30:53] level, and they have taken so many of the
[00:30:56] resources, um, when it comes to education, when it
[00:31:00] comes..."
