00:00:24of of This hour's headline stories: Russia's investigative
00:00:28committee unpacked. the results of its
00:00:31of probe into Kiev's attempted invasion
00:00:32of the kursk border region launched exactly 2 years
00:00:37of ago. Thousands of migrants, including many children remain in
00:00:41suita following last week's mass influx
00:00:44of into
00:00:45of Spain. We examine the political fallout as the EU
00:00:48of demands Morocco police, the very frontier it
00:00:53of contests and new IDF strikes in Lebanon,
00:00:57kill one person and injure almost a dozen more. Israel claims
00:01:01the attacks were retaliation for apparent ceasefire
00:01:04violations by
00:01:06of Hizbollah.
00:01:11of
00:01:15Across the world around the clock. This is RT International. Good to have
00:01:19your company for the news Rap Live from Moscow. Four
00:01:23people have been reported wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's
00:01:27of Yoraslaval region. Our defenses are. said to have destroyed close to
00:01:31100 UAVs there in what the local governor called the
00:01:34largest drone onslot to have hit the area. storage
00:01:38tanks at
00:01:39a refinery were impacted by falling debris with emergency
00:01:42services working to put out the resulting
00:01:45blaze. well moscow is continuing its
00:01:48probe into quote war crimes committed by the Ukrainian
00:01:52of military and foreign mercenaries during Kiev's incursion into Russia's
00:01:55Kursk region which began almost two years ago and
00:01:59ended. Some
00:02:00of months later, 640 people were killed with many more wounded
00:02:04and displaced,
00:02:05a including civilians forcibly taken as prisoners of war. RTS
00:02:09Roman Kostrev recalled the events of
00:02:122024. Well, the Russian
00:02:15of investigative committee
00:02:16of have of once again
00:02:20of of indicated that no crime committed by the Kiev regime will be forgotten or go
00:02:23unpunished. Now the harshest sentences await
00:02:27in all those that committed terrorist acts. against civilians
00:02:31of and some
00:02:31of the verdicts have already been announced. now the map of
00:02:35atrocities committed by Ukrainian militas, militants and
00:02:39foreign mercenaries is very vast, but one Russian
00:02:43of region
00:02:43of stands out among the rest. exactly two years ago on
00:02:47this day, the Kiv regime invaded Russia in the Koursk region
00:02:51and occupied several
00:02:52in dozen settlements. now acting with a
00:02:55a feeling of complete impunity against civilians who could
00:02:59not
00:02:59of put up a fight. against armed goons, they committed
00:03:03of massive,
00:03:03of especially serious crimes, now those included mass
00:03:07murders, rape and other acts of sexual
00:03:11nature, looting and kidnapping of
00:03:14of civilians,
00:03:14of one ukrainian militant by the name of Yevgini Fabrisenko
00:03:18along with accomplices killed 14 civilians in the
00:03:22village of Rusko, now investigators
00:03:25said that they uh also raped eight women and
00:03:29later...
00:03:30of executed them, now those involved received life sentences while other
00:03:34Ukrainian soldiers who stole goods worth several million
00:03:38rubles from local store were also sentenced to long
00:03:42prison
00:03:42of terms. of now 640 civilians were killed,
00:03:46561 were wounded by Ukrainian militants in the
00:03:50Coursk region alone. now when Russia began
00:03:53liberating uh the
00:03:55a region, investigators
00:03:56of made shocking discoveries as they found multiple...
00:04:13in
00:04:25of
00:04:30сработал, а рэп сработал на моей
00:04:34машине, рядом с нами прямо метров в семи, наверное, взорвался,
00:04:37милость боже, вырвались, вырвались, вот привезли,
00:04:41ребят, вот выгружают, сейчас
00:04:45вот в автобусы уже дальше,
00:04:49вот с
00:04:50of трудом вырвались, прямо слава богу, милость боже, есть и ранены
00:04:54у нас изгражданских, женщины
00:04:57ранены, слава богу, всё.
00:05:12of cases in Coursk region and 706
00:05:15of those are related to terrorism. now right after the
00:05:19invasion, the so-called soldiers the Kiv regime immediately
00:05:23began restricting the free movement of civilians and
00:05:26committed heinous crimes against peaceful residents using
00:05:30weapons and explosive devices. now many locals are still
00:05:34unaccounted for, as Russia's commissioner for human rights, Yana
00:05:38Lantratova reported the absence of data on at least
00:05:41300... and two residents the Coursk border region. now
00:05:45the local governor Alexander Hinstein says that only
00:05:49171 residents have been returned by
00:05:53Ukraine to Korsk. now the rest are simply
00:05:56missing and their fate is completely unknown, which
00:06:00makes the entire situation even more difficult and tragic. now
00:06:04investigation into the crimes the Kiev regime and course region
00:06:07continues as Russian criminal experts have
00:06:10examined 100 and 86 settlements in the
00:06:14area, according to their results, the damage caused by the
00:06:18actions the Kiev regime armed groups have already been
00:06:21estimated at over $6 billion
00:06:24dollars. now not all governors come
00:06:28from administrative background, some serve on the
00:06:31frontlines. Belgrad's acting regional head was
00:06:35major general before taking office in the border area earning the
00:06:39title hero the Russian Federation for his actions.
00:06:53The first point is our collaboration with the ministry of defense. Just
00:06:56last week, I met with the deputy defense minister regarding security measures
00:07:00and
00:07:01the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically FPV
00:07:05interceptors. The main flow of enemy drones passes through our
00:07:08region, accounting for nearly 90% of all incidents.
00:07:12exploring various development options, security concerns lead to other
00:07:16important issues such as economic development. I consulted with
00:07:20economic development minister Maxim Rushetnikov to discuss the free economic
00:07:24zone and the development of industrial parks. Everything has been agreed
00:07:28upon and is now waiting approval from the government the Russian
00:07:31Federation. Currently we have 179 programs in
00:07:35place for participants and we want to expand further. Infrastructure
00:07:38development is also essential and we are addressing all these issues.
00:07:42For me, key concern is housing and utilities, because there have been
00:07:46no changes to water supply or drainage systems for many years,
00:07:50resulting in up to 95% wear and tear. Therefore, it
00:07:54is a priority to make these changes. Yes, it's challenging, but we
00:07:58are developing master
00:07:59plan. Now, in the
00:08:03aftermath of last week's border chaos in suita, most
00:08:07migrants have now returned to Morocco, however, between two and
00:08:105,00 them silver. in the Spanish city according to local
00:08:14reports, hundreds them are children, many living without their parents
00:08:18in difficult conditions. Suta authorities have requested
00:08:22assistance from Madrid citing a high risk the public order and
00:08:25safety. Here's what some the younger migrants had to say about their current
00:08:29situation. I've been in
00:08:33Suda for seven days now, I spent three of those days sleeping in the forest
00:08:37without food or water. We barely had enough food to
00:08:40survive. 'It's been seven days since we've been in the
00:08:44forest, me, my mom and my brother. I hope to become a police
00:08:48officer in the future and to be able to go to Spain so that we can be
00:08:51reunited with my dad, along with mom and my
00:08:54brother. God willing will be okay, they
00:08:58give us only one meal a day and look what's in it, milk and small round cookies, and
00:09:01we're barely surviving on just that. You always see infants with their mothers, so we're
00:09:05forced
00:09:06to give them our share of milk, because it won't make difference for us, but it makes a big difference for
00:09:09them. You'll find a woman with a small child who has nothing to feed him, there
00:09:13aren't even diapers, they haven't provided us with anything, it's as if all these
00:09:17people don't even exist. well, while brusseles claims the crisis
00:09:21was resolved quickly and that conclusions were drawn about
00:09:25stronger border protection, questions over who should be
00:09:28responsible for policing that frontier remain. the
00:09:32EU wants to shift responsibility to Morocco, but the fact that
00:09:36rebat considers suta its own sovereign territory,
00:09:40well that complicates matter. "We all want to
00:09:44have good relations, but if Morocco does not want this, then we will have
00:09:48to ask it to at least show respect. We cannot ask it to change its
00:09:51policy, not even its foreign policy. Its approaches are legitimate,
00:09:55but we can ask it to respect Spain's territorial integrity, and the
00:09:59security of our borders. We must make this demand with the support the rest of
00:10:03Europe. People see this not as a migration crisis. It was
00:10:06fundamentally attack, violation of Spain's territorial
00:10:09integrity. People felt that this, if not or..."
00:10:20seeking
00:10:20to take full control of western sahara from Morocco is the view
00:10:25"the chaotic
00:10:26border scenes were due to actions taken by both Rabat and the European
00:10:30Union, we saw last
00:10:34Thursday is actually something that is really terrible and
00:10:37tragic, and my take on this is that first
00:10:41there's human dimension, I mean 60 to 7000
00:10:44people storm the Spanish city theater, and we are
00:10:48told
00:10:49that at least 72 people according to the Spanish estimates
00:10:53died, and this is really..." and our condolences
00:10:56and sympathies go out, the the land and
00:10:59sea border the same
00:11:03asmilia, other
00:11:07heavily the enclave are the most and guarded and fortified borders the European Union,
00:11:10and nevertheless on Thursday we saw people
00:11:14just going in without any warning, spanish authorities are
00:11:18saying that they have not had any early world, okay,
00:11:22but these people came from Iraq and we're... that Morocco
00:11:25cooperate very well with Europe in terms
00:11:29of security, but they have not worked Spain either,
00:11:33so as I said, we back to politics, because this is not a very
00:11:37simple human tragedy, it is a
00:11:40political issue prompted by Morocco that wants
00:11:44to put pressure on Spain and other issues, but
00:11:48particularly because as we know on the record, Morocco since the
00:11:5260s had been claiming the... as
00:11:55theirs, but indeed migration policy in
00:11:59Europe is something, issue
00:12:02that is is debatable not only
00:12:05among the the politician, but also among the the citizens,
00:12:09because people go to Europe from
00:12:13many other places in the world, hoping for better
00:12:16life, places where they can live with their families,
00:12:20secure territories that respect the laws,
00:12:24but ' At the end the day, Europe remains the fortress,
00:12:28Europe, where the doors are shut to everybody
00:12:32else, except the
00:12:32Europeans.
00:12:36Okay, some more news to bring you today, an explosion has occurred on the outskirts
00:12:40the Syrian capital. Two people were killed when a minibus
00:12:44exploded with a further 13 wounded, according to the local health
00:12:47ministry. The reports say and explosive device
00:12:51was planted a taxi van in Jaremana. is a
00:12:55predominantly dres area, that community which has repeatedly clashed with
00:12:59the new Islamist government. forensic teams are at the site and
00:13:03nearby hospitals have been placed on high alert, the ones claim
00:13:06responsibility for the bombing as
00:13:09yet.
00:13:13at least one person has been killed and 11 wounded in overnight bombings in
00:13:16southern Lebanon. israely forces say the attack was
00:13:20response to what they call Heizbollah's ceasefire violations
00:13:23after two IDF were killed in a blast a booby
00:13:27trapped house in that same region. RT Steve Swinny reports from
00:13:31Beirot. This is the latest round of Israeli
00:13:34aggression that took place after two soldiers were killed. The
00:13:38Israelis of course they've blamed Hesblo, they said it was a breach of that
00:13:42cease fire agreement. We haven't heard any comment from Hesball on that particular
00:13:46incident er so far, but the overnight attacks have
00:13:50continued across into Thursday. They've targeted many towns and
00:13:53cities across. the south the country, majd al zone,
00:13:57mansouri and bj al shomali where um
00:14:01the attack took place and ambulances and civil defense
00:14:04workers rushed to the scene, this is where there were number of
00:14:08casualties, and then we saw uh the uh so-called double tap
00:14:12attack that is becoming all too familiar now across Lebanon
00:14:16targeting the civil defense workers, we've just recently interviewed
00:14:20um two that survived in in Nabatia 130 or more than
00:14:23130 uh paramedics have now been killed since
00:14:27March the 2nd, so uh, according to Unif, they've released a
00:14:31statement later on on Thursday afternoon, saying that there have been
00:14:35113 projectiles fired by Israel a
00:14:3824-hour period, this includes artillery shells,
00:14:42air strikes and drone attacks, and they said that this is the
00:14:46highest number of projectiles that have been fired over a 24-hour
00:14:49period since the
00:14:51uh end of June, now this uh kind of escalation that was
00:14:55is something of pattern that takes place ahead
00:14:59of or during these so-called peace talks, these
00:15:02negotiations, the controversial negotiations that are taking place
00:15:06between uh Israel and Lebadon, now this is the seventh round of talks,
00:15:10they're taking place in the Italian capital,
00:15:14Rome, they started on Tuesday, but they seem to have reached something of
00:15:17an impass, particularly as we understand around these so-called
00:15:21pilot zones, these are the areas that the Israeli soldiers, israel forces are
00:15:25supposed to leave to allow the Lebanese army and ultimately the
00:15:29people uh of that land uh to uh enter now we've
00:15:32reported from two of those Frun and Zaltar Algabia
00:15:36and we have to say that progress particular is very slow,
00:15:40residents are um very restricted um in how
00:15:44they're able to enter that village, but as with both
00:15:47them um some 80% of those buildings that
00:15:51they're returning to are destroyed now um for
00:15:55the uh Lebanese side they're keen to press forward with those pilot zones
00:15:59and the eventual withdrawal of Israeli troops, the Israeli
00:16:02sides say they want hezbolah uh to disarm now there's supposed to be
00:16:07se fire in place, don't forget, but while this is going on, will the Israeli
00:16:11officials, will they continue to ratch it up the
00:16:13rhetoric? we took 700 square
00:16:17kilometers twice the area of Gaza, from the coastal area in the west to the
00:16:21Bowfort and the foothills the Herman in the east, and we are removing the
00:16:24threat to the residence the north. We destroyed 24 Lebanese
00:16:28villages, we destroyed all the houses because they served as Hezbollah
00:16:32outposts once and for all. Well, Cats's remarks it
00:16:35somewhere in the realm of. fantasy, as we know, the 24 villages that
00:16:39he's talking about are places where families have lived for
00:16:43generations, but he's simply dismissing them as
00:16:46Hezblar outposts, and we visited many these and we can
00:16:50say this is certainly not the
00:16:53case. now, of course, what he's describing are war crimes,
00:16:57however uh, going back to the framework agreement which contains
00:17:0114 clauses, clause 13 of this particular agreement has caused
00:17:05alarm amongst lawyers uh and human rights groups,
00:17:08because under
00:17:09that clause, the Lebanese side are unable to pursue what
00:17:13are deemed hostile acts in international legal forum, which means
00:17:17they cannot take cases that pertain to war crimes, crimes
00:17:21against humanity or other atrocities, and in the meantime, well
00:17:24Israel simply continues to act with
00:17:27impunity. well, let's stay
00:17:31in that region and move to Wartorn, Gaza, where a
00:17:34large delivery of humanitarian aid from Ketchnia has
00:17:38reached the end journalists watched
00:17:42it arrive unles out where the help will
00:17:44go. close to 1 million
00:17:47Palestinians are receiving aid as part of one the largest
00:17:51humanitarian campaigns initiated by the head the Chechan
00:17:54Republic Ramzan Kadirov in support the Gaza strip.
00:17:58convoys with humanitarian aid have arrived in camps for internally
00:18:02displaced persons in the most needy areas delivering
00:18:06basic food and
00:18:16to distribute 200 aid
00:18:17we tons to were of our able food people in various areas the gaza
00:18:21strip, including camps and shelters. this aid included 40
00:18:25tons of lentils, 40 tons of flour, 40 tons of rice,
00:18:2840 tons of pasta, and 40 tons of sugar. these numbers may
00:18:32seem big, but behind every ton there
00:18:34is family story, and behind every
00:18:37bag of... flour or rice, there is a child waiting
00:18:39for food. thousands of food packages are being prepared in
00:18:43warehouses. dozens of volunteers are working around the clock,
00:18:47packaging humanitarian aid before it is sent to families in
00:18:50need. since the beginning the war, seven chitchen
00:18:53humanitarian organizations have continued implement their programs in
00:18:57the Gaza strip. they are setting up camps to accommodate internally
00:19:01displaced persons, providing food and humanitarian aid to the
00:19:05population and drilling wells to supply.
00:19:11I would like to express my gratitude to the chachin people and all those have taken part
00:19:15in such generous initiatives, we have greatly benefited from the
00:19:19generosity and support the Chechan people. We in the Gaza
00:19:22strip, in particular the Gaza camp in Gaza al Remal,
00:19:26wholeheartedly thank them for the past and ongoing
00:19:28contributions. The distribution of humanitarian
00:19:32aid covers all areas the enclave, north, central and
00:19:36south. humanitarian groups continue to deliver aid
00:19:40to internally displaced persons wherever they are, despite the
00:19:44difficult situation on the ground and difficulties in delivering
00:19:47supplies. representatives of
00:19:51Chetian humanitarian organizations confirm that the campaign will continue
00:19:55in the near future. It is planned to expand the range of aid recipients and
00:19:59reach as many families in need as possible in order to mitigate the
00:20:02consequences the humanitarian crisis, which is becoming more severe
00:20:06every day in the Gaza.
00:20:13Now as Japan's economy suffers, Washington has stepped
00:20:17in for the first time in around three decades to rescue its
00:20:21long timeime ally by propping up the yen. The country's
00:20:25currency is historically weak due to low interest rates analyst
00:20:28suggest, others say that's just one part of it. In recent months, the yen has
00:20:32been experiencing quote excessive volatility, according to the
00:20:35Japanese finance minister. with the US treasury stepping in and
00:20:39dumping some of its euro reserves in exchange for the
00:20:43Japanese tender. President Trump called the move good for
00:20:47the world economy. some economists we spoke to say the measure serves
00:20:51US interests first and its attempt to control the
00:20:54financial fallout from the war on
00:20:57Iran. The yen has been
00:21:00extremely undervalued for several years
00:21:03now, and the US has enjoyed that situation where
00:21:06a vassel state country's currency is being
00:21:10cannibalized in order to prop up the dollar. You
00:21:14exchange rates are binary um
00:21:18traded things pairs so... "if you want a strong dollar, that is
00:21:22the same as to say you need to have other currencies, major
00:21:26currencies that are weak, and the yen serve that purpose,
00:21:29so the the bank of Japan had been instructed by the
00:21:33Federal Reserve for quite a few years to to ensure
00:21:37that the the yen would stay weak, the biggest problem is that it
00:21:41makes imports very expensive. Japan
00:21:44is a high value added economy that can handle
00:21:48a yen at..." dollar rate of 80,
00:21:52but it's actually,
00:21:53you know, until last week was 164, a 40
00:21:56year um low on the Japanese yen, and that is
00:22:00poison for highly competitive economy.
00:22:04does have global implications, people should note
00:22:08that it is now the second or third, if
00:22:11there aren't more that we haven't heard about, uh,
00:22:14spending of American money to deal with problems
00:22:18in the Gulf, that's what. It already happened a week or two
00:22:22ago and now in Japan, it is
00:22:25spreading, and the reason for it has nothing to do with
00:22:29interest rates, it has to do with the fact that
00:22:33Asia and in particular Japan had been
00:22:37very badly hit by the war in
00:22:41Iran, the war the United States and Israel against
00:22:44Iran. The United States had its own reasons, but the
00:22:48bigger one again, is the need to
00:22:52control the damage coming out from closed
00:22:56straight of hormos, because that is the leverage
00:22:59Iran has in its war with the United States,
00:23:03and the United States does not want more and more
00:23:06economic difficulty around the world
00:23:10coming from this war that they now regret in

00:23:50is Tucker Carlson actually going to run for President the United States in
00:23:542028? now he's been saying for a long time he has no interest,
00:23:57but having no interest doesn't mean you're not doing it, even if it's reluctantly.
00:24:01he laid out a 10- point plan for what he says the United States needs to do
00:24:05going forward. we're talking to people on the street to see what they feel about that, and talking to some
00:24:09of Tucker's closest friends. is it true or is it just

00:24:51Have you heard the phrase content is king? Right
00:24:55now chaos rules the world of news and
00:24:59confusion seems to reign
00:25:00supreme across
00:25:04America, from our biggest cities, to our smallest
00:25:07towns, there is almost too much information, too many
00:25:11actors, too many lies. You don't need more
00:25:15content, you actually need context. We're
00:25:19not up in New
00:25:20news room ivory towers, we're on the street, we care about what affects real
00:25:24Americans, anyone can tell you what's
00:25:28happening in the news, but who's telling you why it's
00:25:32happening, how it's happening, how it affects
00:25:35you? every night we cut through the
00:25:38noise, because the stories that will determine our future
00:25:42are happening in America
00:25:44now.
00:25:57I want
00:25:57you to meet somebody, this is Joseph Schutzman, I've been wanting to have a show
00:26:01with him for quite. sometime, in fact, i i've told my my staff
00:26:05and told natasha, i said, this is fascinating story,
00:26:09let let's tell the story, because you're not the only one of
00:26:13people who have come from russia and decided to live in
00:26:17russia who come from america, now now you and i
00:26:21have something particularly uh similar right, you want to
00:26:25tell people, yes, so uh, my mother's side the family comes from
00:26:28Havana, yeah, and i was actually just getting
00:26:32a hair. today and i walked outside and come out and there's this
00:26:35oldest boutique in in uh guess what he brought
00:26:39me
00:26:42sanctions
00:26:43you know that's what it is you i just there's this
00:26:47old boutique in moscow since 1962 in moscow with
00:26:51selling cuban cigars selling cuban cigars like amazing so
00:26:55you are cuban american now living in russia yes now the important part
00:26:59isn't the cuban part although there's a whole story behind that because
00:27:11why would you leave the greatest country in the in the planet? we always
00:27:15told it's the greatest country in the world, by the way, and in many ways
00:27:18it is, yeah, in many ways it is, at least in many ways it was, yeah, let's put it that
00:27:22way, put it that way, i think you may have point there, yeah, it's unfortunate you,
00:27:26because look, so we actually moved with six children, we've been
00:27:30here for three years now, of course, of
00:27:33course, like uh, you catholic uh, little
00:27:36bit, traditional catholic, uh, this is my
00:27:40my grandmother, my abolita, yes, she, my buela, she has
00:27:44150 grandchildren now, so yeah, she's uh,
00:27:48we we're all about having the big family, so uh, we're me too, by the way, but we
00:27:52we stopped at four and we went out and got a tv, there you
00:27:55go, they don't have tvs in russia, you know,
00:27:58it's it's a problem here, no, communist, no, yeah, exactly.
00:28:02they don't want you to see anything, no, it's um,
00:28:06we we basically it just had arrived to that it wasn't
00:28:10feasible anymore in in America to protect the
00:28:14innocence of our children. you now, I was told growing up by my own
00:28:17father, yeah, that children are like a beautiful white canvas, that's how they're come into the
00:28:21world, they have no expectations, and whatever you paint on that
00:28:24canvas, that's what it's going to look like, what, what was it like they came home one
00:28:28day and said, dad, look what they told us in school this month, we have to we have to...
00:28:37six when i left, we homeschool all of our children and people
00:28:40said the same thing, like okay, well you can at least protect your children, no,
00:28:44i'm sorry, all their uh, the children that are their
00:28:47age, they're going to a school as to public school
00:28:51right, and they're going to meet one day, and they're going to have to live
00:28:55a society that's like that, you know, people a lot to think about here and now, but we really have
00:28:59to start considering our future nowadays, this is why we have so many... we
00:29:03got to actually bring more children into this world while
00:29:06unfortunately so many people are taking them out. yeah, and it's interesting cuz the
00:29:10experience i've had so far in Russia, and by
00:29:12the way, just to be clear, when i say this about gay pride month, it's
00:29:16not about hating people who are gay or disallowing people for being who they
00:29:20are, it's it's about the promotion of something. i
00:29:23don't want my children to go to a school where they are forced
00:29:27for an entire month to celebrate something that i may not
00:29:31necessarily. either a agree with or b agree should be
00:29:35celebrated to that degree, that's all. I'm not saying you're not allowed to be
00:29:39gay, I hate gay, no, I, that's not what we're about, but it
00:29:43just seems
00:29:43like it's not the government's place, and the difference that I see in Russia, correct
00:29:47me if I'm wrong, is they don't promote or
00:29:51celebrate lifestyles,
00:29:54or even, for example, I don't like
00:29:56the fact that we celebrate Hispanic heritage month in the United States, why, I'm Hispanic,
00:30:00I'm proud to be Hispanic, but I don't need a month. "absolutely, or black history,
00:30:04for example, yeah, no, it it's absolutely true uh,
00:30:08but I will say one thing for Russia that they do celebrate a normal
00:30:12society, like for example, a good friend of mine, fabrice sorlin, his wife just
00:30:15received the award for Mother Hero for having 10 children in
00:30:19Russia, they celebrate family here, you know, this is something there's
00:30:23so much mut incentivized incentive, as well, it's not
00:30:27incentivized in the United States, but
00:30:29it is here, if you have children, you get lower tax base." "if you
00:30:32have children, you get other credits for food, etc. if
00:30:36you're
00:30:37a woman and you get pregnant, you get 14 months
00:30:40paid leave at your home so you can spend the rest more than year with
00:30:44your child, that doesn't exist in the United States, we don't have that, cheaper mortgage rates, sometimes
00:30:48mortgage rates, cheaper car loans, i like
00:30:52again, they act like they actually want to have children in their country,
00:30:56yeah, our country doesn't act like that anymore, is it children or family? it seems like the..."
