[00:00:07] a
[00:00:08] of
[00:00:12] of of
[00:00:15] of
[00:00:21] of of
[00:00:28] France is on high alert as hundreds of thousands
[00:00:32] take to the streets
[00:00:32] in a fresh wave of protest against President Emmanuel Macron's
[00:00:36] government. Let us see Olashki
[00:00:40] as a spark
[00:00:42] in a world of darkness capable of
[00:00:45] illuminating the bass into humanity. First Lady
[00:00:49] Milania Trump praises the cooperation shown by Moscow and Kiev
[00:00:53] during humanitarian operation she brokered for the embattled city of
[00:00:57] Boloshi. Russia's
[00:00:58] of envoy of will pass a letter from from her to Vladimir
[00:01:01] Putin, I apologize for being there and
[00:01:05] for speaking on impulse, and Ukrainians who protested
[00:01:08] against the torture house that
[00:01:10] of was run by the
[00:01:11] of of of military in are targeted by authorities, some already detained and
[00:01:15] forced to apologize on
[00:01:18] of camera.
[00:01:27] You're watching RT international live from our head. quarters in Moscow, I'm
[00:01:31] Rachel Rubel. Demonstrators are once again
[00:01:35] turning the heat up on authorities in France, some
[00:01:37] of the nationwide protests are turning increasingly violent with
[00:01:41] 400 people reportedly arrested. In Strasburg,
[00:01:45] protesters burned effagy of a police
[00:01:47] of officer. of The country's interior
[00:01:51] of a ministry says around 600,00 people have taken part in the public action on
[00:01:55] of Thursday. The French Trade Union association claims up to 1.6 million
[00:01:58] people
[00:01:59] a are participating. in the strike it called today. RT corresponding,
[00:02:02] yes.n has been keeping up
[00:02:04] with the unrest in Paris. hundreds of thousands
[00:02:08] of
[00:02:08] of people have taken to the streets in Paris alone. as Thursday
[00:02:12] mark. one way moment, there there's police intervention. protesters
[00:02:15] are running away from police, chasing them across Plus
[00:02:19] de la nation. this has been a scene
[00:02:22] in that uh, that seems all too
[00:02:24] of familiar with the weeks of protests that have been ongoing since October 17th. now
[00:02:27] the question was, are
[00:02:29] of we going to see? or scenes that would resemble the scenes of October
[00:02:32] 17, the violence, the looting. uh, in short,
[00:02:35] of to answer that question, the answer is no, but that doesn't mean that the
[00:02:39] police have not ramped up their security measures and their
[00:02:43] defenses across the capital. now, one thing that is certain to
[00:02:47] of say is that these
[00:02:48] of protests have been ongoing for number of different reasons, for the increased cost of
[00:02:52] living, for
[00:02:53] of education reasons, as well as working conditions. there are many reasons as to
[00:02:56] why. that's why on Thursday, trade unions, student unions and other
[00:03:00] unions across the country have gathered and unified in
[00:03:03] solidarity to protest the government and its policies and now
[00:03:07] in place on 7 pm marks the end of protest which means anything
[00:03:11] after 7 pm local time means it is illegal that it is
[00:03:15] banned. you can hear acoustic weapons being used in the square and
[00:03:18] a this is not new, this is nothing foreign to those people that have been taken. acoustic
[00:03:22] weapons and cheergas has been deployed as a defense measure by
[00:03:26] police um and security details across the country.
[00:03:45] of
[00:03:58] now the trade union CG. says that uh up to 35000
[00:04:02] if not more people have taken to the
[00:04:03] of streets on Thursday in Paris alone, however the interior ministry puts that
[00:04:07] number
[00:04:08] of uh close to 600 thousand. The one thing I can say for certain is
[00:04:12] that there have
[00:04:12] been a lot of
[00:04:13] of people that have taken to these streets and keep taken into consideration that
[00:04:16] of Thursday is a weekday, it's not a weekend where people have the time and the space to
[00:04:20] protest. On Thursday workers such as those in the energy sector and the
[00:04:24] private sectors uh in health and education essentially said that they would
[00:04:28] not be going to work that they would be taking. to the streets to demand uh well an improvement
[00:04:32] of their current conditions uh just the uh fact that energy
[00:04:36] workers were off the grid for well
[00:04:38] a the early hours of thursday morning, it resulted
[00:04:43] of in a net loss of 2.4 gigawatts in nuclear energy uh just that fact
[00:04:46] of alone is a concerning matter for the French government, but to answer the question as to
[00:04:49] whether or not the French government hears the protest, there is another interesting
[00:04:54] of question, of how about just before I get there, there is another move, there's more movements over here in the
[00:04:57] square as the
[00:04:59] a protesters have been dispersed, it seems that the
[00:05:02] a numbers uh have essentially decreased as well, they've decreased
[00:05:06] and the they got them all this to charge into the square,
[00:05:10] forcing
[00:05:11] of protesters outside. the square again, I'm just going to get a little bit closer
[00:05:15] so we can better understand and identify what's
[00:05:17] happening and perhaps even get different vantage point
[00:05:21] uh now this square in the early hour earlier hours was
[00:05:25] actually full of people, the fact that I can move around so
[00:05:28] freely is testament to just how many people were
[00:05:32] pushed outside the square, but but again
[00:05:36] coming back to uh the demands, what we understand at this
[00:05:39] point, what we understand at this given moment is... is
[00:05:43] uh, there's been a great deal of demand for
[00:05:47] reform, a great deal of demand for a change in the government's
[00:05:50] policies, uh, the increase in its trade deficit, the increase
[00:05:54] in payments for the national debt, the interest payments alone is a significant factor
[00:05:58] that deals
[00:05:59] that that we can deal into the ongoing crisis, but the one thing that we
[00:06:03] can say about the macron government is that well, macron himself, not necessarily the
[00:06:07] government, macron himself,
[00:06:09] as successful and unifying not just the people, but unifying.
[00:06:13] I see movements again very briefly, just
[00:06:15] want to show you what's happening over here, you
[00:06:17] can see police rushing the protesters into the
[00:06:21] square, I can see projectiles
[00:06:25] being thrown, I can even hear it
[00:06:28] again, Macron was successful in unifying not
[00:06:32] just
[00:06:32] the people, but French policy makers as well, on Wednesday, the
[00:06:36] French assembly essentially wanted to vote on his
[00:06:40] bill for 2027, and the budget
[00:06:42] was opposed. by well, an outstanding majority, only
[00:06:46] two policy makers abstained from the vote, and every
[00:06:50] other single policy maker from the right, the left, the center, whatever it may
[00:06:53] be, voted against that bill, against his budget and more
[00:06:57] importantly, against his vision for the French people, which is
[00:07:01] why they've come out in forced today, that's also another reason why they
[00:07:05] vowed to come out to the streets again this
[00:07:08] weekend, the
[00:07:11] temporary... Cease fire in the Herson region town of Alioshki
[00:07:15] can be used as a model for a wider peace agreement. That's
[00:07:19] a message from U.S. First Lady Milania Trump who brokered the October
[00:07:23] truth. She just hostted Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White
[00:07:26] House, praising the cooperation shown by both
[00:07:29] sides. Let us see Uleshki as a
[00:07:33] spark a world of darkness,
[00:07:37] capable of illuminating the best in
[00:07:40] humanity. build powerful flame of
[00:07:44] peace, visible to the world,
[00:07:47] ignite hope, foster cooperation
[00:07:51] and brighten path toward lasting
[00:07:55] peace. I became
[00:07:59] aware the severity the humanitarian crisis in
[00:08:02] Olashi in September, recognizing the
[00:08:06] urgency, I acted immediately and directed my
[00:08:10] representative Mark Bachman. to engage with Russia and
[00:08:14] Ukraine on my behalf, to pursue peace in
[00:08:17] Olashi, both nations welcome my
[00:08:21] participation, acknowledging that previous
[00:08:25] efforts to establish sease fire in the
[00:08:28] region had not succeed,
[00:08:32] Russia and Ukraine honor our relationship
[00:08:36] and agreed to work with me in the capacity of
[00:08:39] exclusive intermediary to establish
[00:08:43] seis fire in olashki and the surrounding
[00:08:47] Kirsian region. Our
[00:08:50] share objective was to deliver critical
[00:08:54] humanitarian aid to aleshki presidents
[00:08:57] and establish safe evacuation root for
[00:09:01] civilians. Today is truly a historical day as the
[00:09:05] ceasefire in the tadalaski was broker by the United States first
[00:09:09] lady Molania Trump and lasted from October 27th. to
[00:09:12] November 1st, 2026. Now, the truth allowed hundreds the
[00:09:16] remaining 2,0 residents in the town, mainly elderly, to be
[00:09:20] able to decide whether they wanted to go to Ukraine or Russia,
[00:09:24] with the majority them having suffered severe humanitarian blockade
[00:09:28] from since the beginning the conflict. Now, they safely evacuated the town, and
[00:09:32] both Ukrainian and Russian humanitarian uh officials have
[00:09:36] confirmed that there were zero violations by either side during
[00:09:39] the six-day period, making it the longest known. the truth uh and
[00:09:43] cease fire that has happened on the frontlines since 2022, the Russian
[00:09:47] presidential envoy were the first to take the stage um at the
[00:09:51] request of US first lady, presidential first lady Molania
[00:09:54] Trump. On behalf of President Putin, on behalf of people the
[00:09:58] Russian Federation, we would like to thank first lady Milania
[00:10:02] Trump for her distinguished
[00:10:05] humanitarian role in resolving
[00:10:08] Alesky uh situation and resolving
[00:10:12] this humanitarian issue, she played crucial
[00:10:16] leadership role in coordinating humanitarian operation in
[00:10:19] Aleshki and reunifying Russian and Ukrainian
[00:10:23] families. in ensuring that agreements become
[00:10:27] actions and actions save lives.
[00:10:31] President Putin personally gave all the necessary
[00:10:34] instructions to ensure the successful implementation the local
[00:10:38] cisfire in Aleshki. Ukrainian side abided by
[00:10:41] cease fire. Dear Milania, you saved and touched
[00:10:45] so many lives. As token of appreciation, would like to
[00:10:49] give you a small gift, which is
[00:10:52] painting by 11 year. old gold leadia
[00:10:56] from aleshki who chose to be living with your
[00:10:59] family in Russia in
[00:11:02] Tuabse, and
[00:11:04] this beautiful drawing says just three words, I love
[00:11:08] Milania, and this message from
[00:11:11] children frankly overshadows any diplomatic
[00:11:15] statement anybody can make, so thank you so much first
[00:11:18] lady, thank you for your incredible humanitarian
[00:11:21] work, thank you so much.
[00:11:30] very thank
[00:11:30] Thank much, you, you now Russian representatives also expressed
[00:11:34] hope that this is just the beginning the peacemaking process between all three groups
[00:11:38] and this is just going to be the first one, not only broker by the first lady, but more
[00:11:42] importantly by the president the United States himself. Reporting live from Washington DC
[00:11:46] for RT, I'm Scottienells. Well, the residents
[00:11:50] of Alioshki have gained respite, the population of Ukraine's capital have
[00:11:54] been cast. into darkness. Kyev is
[00:11:57] experiencing another major blackout due to lack of functioning energy
[00:12:01] plants. Vladimir Zelinski says continued Russian strikes and
[00:12:05] inadequate preparations have worsened the crisis, while damaged
[00:12:09] power grids prevent electricity from reaching the capital. Blackouts
[00:12:13] have been reported all across Ukraine on regular basis as officials say
[00:12:16] there are undamaged power plants left in the
[00:12:20] country. Ukrainian police have
[00:12:23] launched crackdown. on people who protested a makeshift detention center
[00:12:27] where men were tortured and held for ransom by military forces near
[00:12:31] Kiev. officials say they've identified 130 citizens who
[00:12:35] may have been involved in the demonstration outside the
[00:12:38] building.
[00:12:43] police have shown footage of suspects being arrested over the unrest outside
[00:12:47] the scene on Tuesday. authorities say 27 people took
[00:12:51] an active part in illegal actions and another 20 behaved
[00:12:55] aggressively, provoking conflicts with law enforcement officers and
[00:12:59] military personnel. some the detained have already been forced to
[00:13:02] say,
[00:13:07] i apologize for being there and for speaking on
[00:13:09] impulse. decided to go there and
[00:13:13] later i blocked the bus's movement.
[00:13:15] i deeply regret that didn't understand the situation before i went. the
[00:13:19] protest outside the private house near Kiev where people were
[00:13:23] held against their will by Ukraine. neonazi azof
[00:13:26] formation has led to arrest and a growing dispute
[00:13:30] over what was actually happening inside, protesters
[00:13:34] said forcibly mobilized men were being held
[00:13:37] there and were denied medical care. officials later
[00:13:41] described that building simply a temporary
[00:13:45] center for mobilized servicemen. now the police
[00:13:49] and ukraine's security service say they have
[00:13:51] identified at least 130 people.
[00:13:55] gathered outside that uh house described as
[00:13:59] a torture center. now the confrontation began on relatives
[00:14:03] and other protesters demanding access to
[00:14:07] men, they said were being held there at the house. take a
[00:14:10] look at how the situation
[00:14:12] unfolded.
[00:14:20] a video from the scene showed clashes at the
[00:14:24] gates. and a medic pleading with officers to let
[00:14:28] her inside, her name Valentina Mold,
[00:14:31] and she she was called there by local resident who said
[00:14:35] that a relative was seriously ill at that address.
[00:14:39] now the medic who arrived an ambulance
[00:14:42] was eventually allowed in with a police officer. she later told
[00:14:45] reporters that around 25 to 30 people
[00:14:49] were being held inside and that four men
[00:14:53] needed hospital treat.
[00:16:07] actually confirmed that the side indeed belonged to one of its units
[00:16:11] while denying systematic abuse and saying that action
[00:16:15] would follow if unlawful violence was established. now the
[00:16:19] full number of people who who may have been held there
[00:16:23] and what happened inside still remains unclear. reports said at
[00:16:26] least 40 people were held against their will
[00:16:30] as investigation is underway to determine whether the site
[00:16:34] was legitimate processing center or... indeed
[00:16:38] a place where people were unlawfully detained and
[00:16:41] abused. Meanwhile, a 14-year-old boy who
[00:16:45] was seen being taken out the building a state
[00:16:49] of shock after being tortured is probably
[00:16:53] the best proof of what was happening in that secret
[00:16:56] prison. They grabbed me by the hair, you can't see it in
[00:17:00] the footage, but I have lumps on my head. They just beat me. I don't
[00:17:04] know, they used everything to hit me, shovels. feet,
[00:17:08] fists, everything. Then they carried me up to the second floor. They
[00:17:11] laid me face down on the floor and started interrogating me. I don't
[00:17:15] know, they hit me so hard on the head that I couldn't hear or see
[00:17:19] anything. They just started the interrogation. Then they grabbed me by
[00:17:23] the hair again and threw me against another wall. Because I didn't land
[00:17:27] on my stomach when they threw me. They started slamming my head against the
[00:17:31] floor. Punishing me for not looking the right way, smashing my
[00:17:34] head right into the floor. My nose start.
[00:17:45] Now this 14-year-old boy's account is part of a wider
[00:17:49] debate over allegations of abuse linked to force
[00:17:53] mobilization. Authorities have now moved to arrest people who
[00:17:57] uh protested outside that torture house. Now a
[00:18:00] driver from the ambulance uh was uh placed a
[00:18:04] pre-trial detention for two months without bail. Now
[00:18:07] he is accused of uh filming the building which
[00:18:11] investigators say was a military site, police and the
[00:18:15] SBU say they have already identified another
[00:18:18] 130 people who gathered uh at the
[00:18:22] site and questioned officials there, woman who was the
[00:18:26] first to raise the alarm about her relative being held there
[00:18:30] has also been arrested according to latest
[00:18:33] reports. Ukrainian authorities have started hunting down
[00:18:37] t locals protesting the apparent torture facility exposed in the
[00:18:41] country's capital. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman reacted to the
[00:18:44] scandal saying KF sponsors would do well to examine what
[00:18:48] their funding is spent
[00:18:50] on. The Kiev regime
[00:18:53] legalized mass riots long ago making maidens and all this
[00:18:57] terrible monstrous bloody fighting in the streets with the use of molotof
[00:19:01] cocktails part of essentially legal showdowns between their own
[00:19:05] citizens and now it turns out the... must be held accountable for all of
[00:19:09] this. two women, understanding what they were getting into, found
[00:19:13] the strength within themselves to say, there, in that house, there are
[00:19:17] people who urgently need emergency medical help. these are two women
[00:19:21] who have more courage than all the SBU, Bonkovia, and of course
[00:19:24] Zelensky. The Ukrainian government doesn't care about anything,
[00:19:28] including the future generation, and I mean the 14-year-old boy who was
[00:19:32] lured and deceived at the swimming pool. What happened once again
[00:19:36] demonstrated what the...
[00:20:07] "they are trying
[00:20:08] to intimidate the population of Ukraine
[00:20:10] with the purpose of stopping them from expressing their civic will if their rights are
[00:20:14] violated. It's basically dictatorship that persecutes people for the
[00:20:18] fact that they were attempting to actually save the lives their fellow Ukrainians
[00:20:22] who are in the hands of thugs who illegally detained them in that
[00:20:25] house, in that chamber. They were torturing them. And if we look into what
[00:20:29] is happening, no one has answered the actual question, why would a unit
[00:20:33] way beyond the front lines in the rear have a private house to detain..."
[00:20:37] military people there, if the people were detained there committed a
[00:20:41] crime, some kind of a crime, in Ukraine they have detention facilities
[00:20:45] where they could have been brought, so why would a unit the army
[00:20:49] have a property? in the rear, and Mr. Budanov personally claimed that
[00:20:53] there are a lot of houses like this, chambers like this across
[00:20:56] Ukraine, so every unit the Ukrainian army seems to have
[00:21:00] such torture chambers, they hunt people down, and basically they
[00:21:04] blackmail them into paying money, and the relatives and the family these
[00:21:08] people, they have to sell whatever they have to buy back their family
[00:21:12] members from these illegal prisons. It's a criminal organization that is
[00:21:15] acting in the interest
[00:21:16] of mob, mafia that established itself, its foothold. in
[00:21:20] Ukraine because there is a collusion between organized crime and the law
[00:21:24] enforcement agencies and they seized power in Ukraine and they use
[00:21:28] these illegal measures against their own people, the will spend as much time as
[00:21:32] the western elite would allow, because the western elite is funding this
[00:21:36] outrage that is happening currently in Ukraine against the people of
[00:21:39] Ukraine who are being tortured. They extort financial resources from
[00:21:43] Ukrainians, and it is being done at the behest the Ukrainian
[00:21:47] leadership with the support the Ukrainian authority. because the
[00:21:51] Ukrainian authorities are protecting these
[00:21:53] people, now it now
[00:21:57] appears the torture house discovered near Kiev is merely the tip
[00:22:00] the iceberg, as Ukraine's military and
[00:22:04] security agencies have reportedly been running such black sites for
[00:22:08] years. Head to our website for more on this developing
[00:22:11] story.
[00:22:15] Following numerous meetings with all of Israel's elected parties, the
[00:22:19] country's president has determined that a government cannot be formed based
[00:22:23] on the results of Israel's first vote since
[00:22:25] 2022.
[00:22:29] the current situation is as follows: representatives of factions
[00:22:33] comprising 67 members the Kinness have recommended Gady
[00:22:36] Eisencott, leader the Yasha party to form the
[00:22:39] government. on the surface, the results these consultations appear
[00:22:43] clear. however, the authority vested in me by law
[00:22:47] requires me to determine the actual feasibility of... government, matter
[00:22:51] that is not entirely clear, given the mutual exclusions both between the
[00:22:54] political blocks and within the blocks themselves. the majority
[00:22:58] the votes have been cast to have Gaddy izenkot
[00:23:02] as being Israel's next prime minister, but despite
[00:23:06] that president Hertsog saying he now needs to take few
[00:23:10] days to look at how possible coalitions could
[00:23:13] form. well, you might be asking, how did
[00:23:17] get 67 the votes when? block only took
[00:23:21] 48 seats in that controversial election here
[00:23:25] in Israel, well that's down to the
[00:23:28] majority arab parties, that's the joint arab list
[00:23:32] and ram, who all said that they would recommend him
[00:23:35] as being the next prime minister of
[00:23:38] Israel, crucially what was quite interesting
[00:23:42] is that one the - ultra orthodox parties,
[00:23:46] this is united tour of Judaism which has been firmly
[00:23:50] uh insconced in the Lacud block for many, many
[00:23:54] years, declined to even cast its
[00:23:57] vote, saying it didn't want to suggest who should be
[00:24:01] Israel's next prime minister. now that is quite
[00:24:05] interesting, because we are having some other developments here in
[00:24:09] Israel, these are reports - that the
[00:24:12] objections to potentially joining a coalition
[00:24:16] government that would include this ultra orthodox party,
[00:24:20] and now apparently being ripped up with the leader of
[00:24:24] Israel is our home, avidor liberman, suggesting that
[00:24:28] he may apparently sit in a government with them.
[00:24:31] now if that party joined the Eisencott
[00:24:35] block, they would have 55 mandates,
[00:24:39] which is enough for fairly
[00:24:41] convincing minority government here in
[00:24:45] Israel. liberman though, however, being
[00:24:49] very first his party will not sit in any
[00:24:52] government come hell or high water if it
[00:24:56] includes any the arab parties. a
[00:25:00] minority government is not an option, we will neither be part of nor lend support
[00:25:04] to any minority government. the Palestinian authority was very involved
[00:25:08] directing both ROM and the joint list. it is medaling and this is a
[00:25:12] connection we cannot allow. let's talk about the Arab parties now,
[00:25:15] kingmakers potentially in this election with those 19
[00:25:19] seats. already wielding that power by being able to
[00:25:23] cast their vote over the past few days as they've been speaking to President
[00:25:26] Herzog saying that they would prefer eisencott to be the
[00:25:30] person who forms the next government in Israel, the reality is
[00:25:34] though that they don't want to sit with Eisenct in
[00:25:38] governmentts preferring to stay out the government and
[00:25:42] supporting it where perhaps the needs suit them the
[00:25:45] best young people want change and they want different.
[00:25:50] atmosphere apart from the hostility, racism, and exclusion. We
[00:25:54] have disagreements with Godty Eisencott on many issues. We are not
[00:25:57] choosing between good and better, but between bad and worse. And many may
[00:26:01] be questioning. Why wouldn't the majority Arab parties be
[00:26:05] joining up eagerly with an eisencot block? Well,
[00:26:09] eisencott has been very firm, he has four strict
[00:26:13] conditions for anybody who wants to join into his
[00:26:16] coalition, and one them is that Hamas must be denounced
[00:26:20] as a terrorist organization. That is something that is a bit
[00:26:24] difficult for the majority Arab parties to do. Well, the
[00:26:27] Lakud party are likely to pick up on that, they have
[00:26:31] branded. arab parties as in bed with
[00:26:35] terrorists, they have said that Arab parties stole this
[00:26:39] election, and there's been this allegation of this foreign
[00:26:42] interference coming from countries like Katar and Turkey,
[00:26:46] although we have heard from the central elections committee and also the
[00:26:50] shinbet that the election results stand, despite
[00:26:54] that lekud and Benjamin Netanhou remains at the
[00:26:57] moment, Israel's prime minister are considering
[00:27:01] the Arab party. The
[00:27:05] one entity that will certainly be unable to cope with the threat of radical Islam is a
[00:27:09] government that depends on radical Islam and these Islamist parties which
[00:27:12] deny the very existence the Jewish state and they dedicate their electoral
[00:27:16] successes to the despicable terrorists from Hamas who are sitting in our
[00:27:20] prisons. Only a broad national government led by Leicud and under my
[00:27:23] leadership will be able to confront this challenge and in fact as
[00:27:27] the parties have been meeting with president Hertsog there were
[00:27:31] protests out. side demonstrators calling for a
[00:27:35] unity government, a government that would see look team up
[00:27:39] with Gadty ecotsiyasha, that is something that is still
[00:27:43] seen as possible, yet unlikely, the
[00:27:46] reality is we are still now waiting for President Herzog
[00:27:50] to make his final decision, who will be the
[00:27:54] person who gets the first bite the apple
[00:27:58] to try and form a government here in Israel.
[00:28:03] Well that wraps up our program here in Moscow, but do stay with us here
[00:28:07] on RT for the American Now team, and Anchor Ben Swan, we'll be taking over the
[00:28:11] broadcast in just about half an hour. Ben is live for us now in the
[00:28:15] studio in Miami, so Ben, what do you have coming up for us today?
[00:28:19] Hey Rachel, good to see you. Yeah, so much fallout still from the midterm
[00:28:23] elections earlier this week, and now lot of talk about some the highest
[00:28:27] level people in the Trump administration may be defecting, planning to
[00:28:30] resign for various reasons, including the possibility of putting together their
[00:28:33] own campaigns for 2028, and at this point, the Trump
[00:28:37] administration somewhat radioactive, so everybody wants to kind of get away from that,
[00:28:41] distance themselves from this historic loss, we're taking a look at that as well
[00:28:45] as the possibility that more Epstein files could be forced to be
[00:28:49] released, very soon, we'll explain all of it coming up in just about half an hour
[00:28:53] right here on America now. All right, Ben, thank you so very much, looking forward
[00:28:57] to all of that and much more. And
[00:29:00] that's all for me for now, but do... With us now for Sanchez Effect.
