[00:00:00] tribunal, they want to take it under control, fill it with their people,
[00:00:03] why? Because they want to get rid of the Polish currency, they want
[00:00:07] to drag us into the Eurozone, because the Germans are pressuring them, and also
[00:00:11] they want to get rid of our protected borders, the Germans want
[00:00:14] to breed illegal immigrants and send them to Poland. This is
[00:00:18] Tusk's attempt to consolidate his power, and some serious
[00:00:22] decisions are also expected to be made. It is the Constitutional
[00:00:25] Court that will decide whether Poland will blindly follow
[00:00:29] EU policy or not. I wouldn't be surprised if Tusk got
[00:00:32] permission for this somewhere in the bureaucratic top of the
[00:00:35] European Union, because they are starting to get nervous there, their entire
[00:00:39] European project is slowly falling apart
[00:00:42] into pieces. Well, it's clear that Tusk, a protégé
[00:00:45] of the European Union and Brussels, tried to embrace Poland
[00:00:48] in an iron grip, to seize power.
[00:00:52] Former Prime Minister Morawiecki has already called for a vote of no confidence in Tusk and to appoint
[00:00:55] early elections, but this choice without choice is always
[00:00:59] the same.
[00:02:30] you can come up with it and so on, then this conflict occurred
[00:02:34] over the seizure of the tribunal, it has enormous significance, because it can
[00:02:38] declare any law unconstitutional, what is the
[00:02:41] fundamental struggle? Here Tusk speaks for the rule
[00:02:45] of law, and this means that one must submit to Brussels,
[00:02:48] in Poland there should be, for example, a law on same-sex
[00:02:51] marriages, in Poland, Catholics
[00:02:54] hold a powerful position, Christians say no, no, this will not
[00:02:58] pass, like in Hungary.
[00:05:12] yes, forces that, to put it mildly, very carefully distance themselves from today's
[00:05:15] Brussels policy, then
[00:05:19] indeed nothing
[00:05:22] nothing will remain for Ursula von der Leyen, you see,
[00:05:26] she always won, she won in
[00:05:29] Romania, she won in Hungary, she almost
[00:05:33] won in Ukraine, she simply didn't have enough resources, but
[00:05:37] a little more and she would have intercepted the financing of the Ukraine
[00:05:40] Anti-Russia project, she would have received the money, it would have been American,
[00:05:44] but yes, today she lost in
[00:05:47] Bulgaria, not completely, but
[00:05:51] she lost, and if she also
[00:05:54] loses Hungary, well, hello Macron,
[00:05:57] yes, she will be simply
[00:06:00] automatically, I agree with everything, only you called this a gambit in relation to Ursula,
[00:06:04] probably a zugzwang, a gambit is still a winning
[00:06:06] move that turned into a zugzwang, it used to be a gambit, now
[00:06:10] it's this.
[00:06:28] history, how it happens, a purely English murder, this is a purely
[00:06:32] Polish, Polish color, color
[00:06:36] revolution, senseless, without winners, and
[00:06:39] of course, the wisdom of the president...
[00:08:42] said that this is an unfinished coup, what could be the next
[00:08:45] step in this, it will unfold in the elections, I think the Constitutional Court
[00:08:49] may not work until the elections,
[00:08:51] for example, mhm, it can simply be taken out of
[00:08:55] the equation, mhm, yes, please, Stanislav, I have friends
[00:08:58] in Poland who are very close to Polish nationalists, which
[00:09:02] is the most interesting thing about Polish nationalists, your friends are close to Polish nationalists,
[00:09:06] yes, they are close to Georg Braun, whose party
[00:09:10] I will come closer to you then, behind you. back
[00:09:42] to the army, this is rotation, not mercenaries, he backed down from
[00:09:46] this, now he has very bad relations with Zelensky, Poles do not want
[00:09:50] to give him weapons, because here of course the situation
[00:09:54] is getting out of control of Brussels, and what
[00:09:57] is happening now, at the beginning the army has already said directly we are with the president,
[00:10:01] because the prime minister had the right to appoint
[00:10:04] only three judges for whom
[00:10:07] the president accepted the oath.
[00:10:10] And Tusk went for all eight, they
[00:10:12] waited for him to fly away, so the question still remains, who
[00:10:16] warned him? It looks more and more that it's possible we
[00:10:19] warned him, about something he did.
[00:10:23] о том, что он что-то.
[00:10:55] sent a letter, saying, we don't understand what he's doing, we are neutral,
[00:10:58] and many policemen are going to mutiny,
[00:11:01] just not go to work, so as not to participate in this, and
[00:11:05] the army is with the president, because everything is developing very quickly here, no, in
[00:11:09] the end, there is more popular support, do I understand correctly that
[00:11:12] Tusk, having secured the support of the European Commission
[00:11:14] there, is essentially leading the country to
[00:11:18] a coup, or rather this coup has
[00:11:21] already happened, what is Brussels doing, what is it building?
[00:11:55] did not enter, because Brussels
[00:11:58] is building a system that will be an alternative West
[00:12:02] in relation to the United States, and I venture to say to any
[00:12:05] United States, both to Trump's United States
[00:12:09] and to the United States
[00:12:12] of Trump's opponents, but generally this is a Reich, yes,
[00:12:15] yes, generally in the future it is a Reich, please, well, agree that
[00:12:19] the expression, "the hand of the Kremlin" played out in new
[00:12:22] colors, yes, we can even publish it.
[00:12:55] too late, please, Sergey, briefly, Nikolay, I will answer your question, what
[00:12:58] the European Union is building, there was such a wonderful film, Thunder Gate,
[00:13:02] and there one of the characters said a wonderful phrase: in the army you are not smart, not
[00:13:05] smart, in the army you are obedient, this is just applicable to the European,
[00:13:09] to the Thunder Pass, so in the European Union you don't
[00:13:12] need to be, smart people are not needed, obedient people are needed, that is, we are cleansing
[00:13:16] all the smart and minimally
[00:13:19] Euroskeptic, which is
[00:13:22] synonymous, that is, a smart person is always a Euroskeptic.
[00:13:55] they have inflated their Swinoujscie to unimaginable sizes
[00:13:58] and continue to inflate it, Americans with their gas, and
[00:14:01] American gas, it is such a loophole that it further shakes
[00:14:05] the unity of the European Union, in this regard, I do not rule out
[00:14:08] that Peter Magyar, who was mentioned today, that he is
[00:14:12] pro-European, he has already proven that he is not entirely
[00:14:15] pro-European, he refused to accept
[00:14:18] migrants, he refuses to accept Ukraine
[00:14:21] into the European Union.
[00:14:55] parliament, and what will happen in this case with the diesel agreement and with
[00:14:59] peace negotiations on Ukraine? Igor Naymushin
[00:15:02] assessed the chances and forecasts.
[00:19:28] The midterm elections, which will begin in the US tomorrow, will not
[00:19:32] significantly affect the country's foreign policy course. This was stated
[00:19:35] by Secretary of State Rubik. Well, of course, the world press is now
[00:19:39] full of forecasts and insights, Trump is preparing to govern
[00:19:43] the US circumventing Congress in case Democrats win the midterm elections, this is what Reuters writes, citing
[00:19:46] sources in the White House, according to
[00:19:50] the agency, the president's administration has been developing a plan since April
[00:19:53] that will allow it to continue implementing key areas
[00:19:57] of Trump's policy without congressional approval, in particular, it is about
[00:20:00] the expanded use of presidential decrees and
[00:20:04] the powers of the head of state, the administration is separately preparing...
[00:20:37] House of Representatives and Senate. In such an outcome, Democrats
[00:20:40] will be able to initiate investigations against the Trump administration and block
[00:20:44] his legislative initiatives. However, most
[00:20:48] of the publication's interlocutors do not believe that.
[00:20:58] According to him, the main danger is the great
[00:21:00] Trumpian unknown, enraged, or a lame
[00:21:04] duck, bitter foie gras turns out, MS
[00:21:08] Noo reports, the US is preparing strikes on Iran the day after
[00:21:11] the elections. Quote: The Trump administration has informed allies in
[00:21:15] the Persian Gulf that they should prepare for
[00:21:18] a short, intense round of strikes already on November 4,
[00:21:22] the day after the midterm elections, the US is pulling
[00:21:25] the third carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier
[00:21:29] Theodore Roosevelt to the region, about 9,000 sailors and
[00:21:31] marines, as well as deploying additional Patriot batteries
[00:21:34] to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
[00:21:38] The US could launch a nuclear strike on Iran under pressure from Israel,
[00:21:42] a possible target would be Pikax Mountain in the central part
[00:21:45] of the country, claims journalist Tucker Carlson. He wrote about this on his
[00:21:49] page in... Quote: No conventional weapon in
[00:21:52] the American arsenal is capable of penetrating 100 meters of solid
[00:21:56] granite to destroy tunnels where uranium enrichment
[00:21:59] is presumably taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike and
[00:22:03] Netanyahu is actively pursuing it. Bibi calls
[00:22:06] Trump about this every day. Trump will likely decide by
[00:22:10] next weekend whether to use nuclear weapons. This will be November
[00:22:13] 7. In his honor, he doubts it. Well, it's clear that
[00:22:17] all the insights on Iran and possible strikes are somehow related
[00:22:20] to the topic of tomorrow's elections, which are not easy for Republicans and personally for Donald
[00:22:23] Trump. Igor Naymushin, who worked
[00:22:27] as a correspondent for various publications in the US for a long time, weighed
[00:22:30] the chances of the sides one day before the endgame. Applause to the author,
[00:22:34] we invite the main character to the cross, we watch,
[00:22:36] we talk.
[00:22:39] The main intrigue of the midterm elections to the US Congress one day before
[00:22:42] the opening of polling stations remains not whether
[00:22:46] Republicans will win, but how big their defeat will be and
[00:22:50] the consequences for the American administration, the worst
[00:22:53] scenario for them is the complete loss of control over the Capitol. According
[00:22:57] to analysts at Decision Desk, the probability of the House of Representatives
[00:23:01] falling under the control of the Democratic Party is
[00:23:03] 83%. In the Senate, the situation is less
[00:23:07] certain, but even here the forecasts are on the side
[00:23:10] of the Democrats. The same model estimates their chances of gaining a majority at
[00:23:14] 63%. In the United States, midterm
[00:23:17] elections traditionally become a referendum on confidence
[00:23:21] in the incumbent president. In the last 80 years, the president's
[00:23:25] party lost seats in the House of Representatives in
[00:23:28] eighteen out of twenty midterm elections, in
[00:23:31] the Senate - in thirteen out of twenty. Therefore, Trump
[00:23:34] himself acknowledges the risk of defeat. Studies
[00:23:37] of sentiment in American society unequivocally indicate that
[00:23:41] the main problem for US citizens is the economy.
[00:23:45] The overwhelming majority of voters put it first,
[00:23:48] and this is not GDP growth or record stock
[00:23:51] market values, but spending on food, fuel, medicine,
[00:23:55] and loans. Here, the Trump administration faces
[00:23:58] serious discontent from the electorate. According to an Associated
[00:24:01] Press study, almost 80% of Americans
[00:24:05] are dissatisfied with the president's work on the cost of living.
[00:24:08] And if Democrats win both houses of Congress, it will be the worst
[00:24:12] scenario for the White House. Trump will lose the ability to implement
[00:24:16] large-scale legislative reforms. The Senate will block
[00:24:20] the appointment of new ministers, judges, and other high-ranking
[00:24:23] officials. Nevertheless, calling Trump a lame
[00:24:27] duck in this case would be an exaggeration. The US
[00:24:30] president will still be able to issue executive orders, fully
[00:24:34] manage the administration, conduct foreign policy,
[00:24:37] determining Washington's diplomatic line in negotiations with Russia,
[00:24:41] China, and other countries, use the right of veto,
[00:24:44] blocking bills from Democrats. You
[00:24:47] really write that the economy is in first place for voters, they
[00:24:51] prioritize it when evaluating the president's actions, but
[00:24:55] we always knew this and always discussed it in this studio, but
[00:24:59] regardless of the results of Trump's tariff
[00:25:02] policy or his little wars in the Caribbean
[00:25:06] Sea, the new American Sea, this does not
[00:25:10] affect his real position and policy, he can actually act
[00:25:13] with executive orders, and you say that in fact Trump
[00:25:17] will lose the opportunity to carry out any initiatives? But really, what threatens
[00:25:20] him, they will still not implement impeachment, and what about the Senate
[00:25:24] in the end, yes, because we heard about the House of Representatives that they will definitely
[00:25:28] take it, but there are still questions about the Senate, as for
[00:25:30] the Senate, I'll start with the last question, now there are five
[00:25:33] so-called battleground states, states in which the outcome
[00:25:37] of the elections will be decided, these are Alaska,
[00:25:40] Iowa, Michigan, Texas, and
[00:25:43] Kansas, including Maine, by the way, some of which were not
[00:25:46] such swing states, as they are called, yes, now these are
[00:25:50] precisely the states on which it depends whether Democrats will control
[00:25:53] the Senate, or whether it will remain with Republicans, in case in the
[00:25:57] worst-case scenario the Senate goes to the Democrats, they will
[00:26:01] control it, then that means...
[00:26:32] Okay, yes, he will continue, then they will still agree, someone will concede, last time
[00:26:36] we also saw the Democrats, they had their fingers spread, snot bubbling, but in the end they still gave up
[00:26:40] and agreed. Donald Trump says this: if Democrats
[00:26:44] take control of Congress, I will become Mr. Veto, who will block every
[00:26:48] initiative that Democrats bring,
[00:26:52] they will come, I signed a veto once, signed a veto twice,
[00:26:55] three, they come, and we agree, and we conclude some kind of deal, this is now
[00:26:59] the president's position, he will actually get... what
[00:27:02] is beneficial to him, Trump is a lover of battles, a lover
[00:27:06] of disputes, a lover of public conflicts, he will capitalize on this especially,
[00:27:09] considering that in twenty-eight there will be presidential elections, now the election
[00:27:12] program is already practically beginning, because it is clear that the worse
[00:27:16] the situation in the country, the more resources Trump will have to
[00:27:20] blame everything on the Democratic Party. Mhm, Vladimir
[00:27:23] Nikolaevich, the thing is that in any country power is divided into
[00:27:27] three branches, executive, legislative,
[00:27:30] исполнительная, законодательная,
[00:28:32] you won't get it, there will definitely be problems with
[00:28:35] financing government programs, who will pay salaries,
[00:28:39] we have faced this, so this is bravado for now,
[00:28:42] Stanislav, well, you know, in American elections,
[00:28:45] traditionally in midterm elections, the president's party always loses
[00:28:49] at least one house, this has always been the case for the last
[00:28:52] 30-40 years, if not further, if you look, it always turns out this way, and
[00:28:56] as for Trump, at first he already rules as he wants contrary to
[00:29:00] the constitution, for example, with tariffs, sanctions.
[00:30:02] they cannot prevent it by taking Congress and even the Senate, yes, I don't think they can, well, let's ask
[00:30:06] Dmitry Gennadievich, as an Americanist, Dmitry Gennadievich, here is a concrete example,
[00:30:09] Clinton, yes, well, first of all, I would like to say that I,
[00:30:12] of course, unlike the failed Arabist,
[00:30:16] am a successful Americanist, but the America that I knew
[00:30:19] and understood is already leaving, it will soon be gone completely,
[00:30:23] but yes, but the thing is, if you look at the
[00:30:26] sociology, it doesn't add up anymore, they themselves
[00:30:29] really don't know what will happen in the elections, yes. Yes, the second
[00:30:33] point, Clinton is a good example, he really
[00:30:36] after indeed ninety-seventh this year was with
[00:30:40] a Congress that was openly hostile to him, the House
[00:30:43] of Representatives was headed, it's not a joke now, the last
[00:30:47] Jedi in the universe Newt Gingrich, he was really considered
[00:30:50] a Jedi, yes, but Clinton
[00:30:54] really carried out military operations, I just wanted to
[00:30:56] remind you that
