00:01:00Let's go to the discography, what will we start with, what else, with elections
00:01:02of course, with the crushing result we had in the United
00:01:06States, against the gentleman you see here, the
00:01:0847th, who saw this crushing defeat on
00:01:12his head, because of the war, there is nothing else at this moment,
00:01:16war, high prices, tariffs, these are the elements that
00:01:19make up, let's say, the causes of the defeat, he admitted it himself,
00:01:22the news writes it here, I was reading it now in a small comment,
00:01:26that he lost, it says, by the two sevens, yes, right, 7%.
00:01:30Mortgage rate and $7 a gallon for
00:01:33fuel, we're talking about exorbitant prices, right, if you
00:01:37think about where it was before, we Europeans are paying all this, of course, it's not far from us,
00:01:40Mr. Trump paid for all this dearly, and everyone's question is what will he do from now
00:01:44on, how will he proceed, that is, the next two years until the 2028
00:01:48presidential elections, will he be a worse Trump, will he be the same one we
00:01:52loved, will he be a Trump who wants to work for his historical reputation, so he will want
00:01:55to make some corrections, anyway, so that he remains dignified and is
00:01:59written in history, otherwise, no one knows that yet,
00:02:03because we are dealing with a person who is absolutely unpredictable in everything he does,
00:02:06we will see how now, his historical reputation, only
00:02:09that, the vice president, Mr. Pence, handled it very well,
00:02:13we lost because of the war, the
00:02:16president also said, but he says he would do it again, okay, he's
00:02:19Trump, what else could he say, we Greek-Americans did great,
00:02:23we swept everywhere, we won everywhere, we hope to help
00:02:27Greece now, of course, because that's what we're counting on. Here we say our
00:02:31own children there, but when the time comes, we'll see about that too,
00:02:34here they have and they talk from all the villages of Greece now about their
00:02:38own children, it's going to happen in Elassona, children, in Livadi,
00:02:41we're going for Chris Pappas Square, anyway, anyway, this will be our first
00:02:45topic, so the next one has to do with our own Greek-Turkish relations here, because here
00:02:49we also have developments and we have also sent a letter
00:02:52to the UN about the Turkish-Libyan issue, but we will see
00:02:55it, but the most basic
00:02:58is, leave the most basic. This triple slap or
00:03:01triple yellow card towards Turkey from the
00:03:04Commission for the casus belli and for the Turkish-Libyan
00:03:08memorandum and for the cable, for all these things in
00:03:11this progress report from the
00:03:14European Union, from the Commission for Turkey, to bring a
00:03:17specific series
00:03:19of events which show that Turkey,
00:03:23what it wants is not to get closer to Europe, but to
00:03:26move away with what it is doing here in our region, in Greece. It even
00:03:30gives as an example the fact, which sounds like a detail,
00:03:33that they have included the "Blue Homeland" in school books, even this, beyond
00:03:37the violations of Greek airspace, etc. All
00:03:41these are included in this report. The Turks, of course, as soon as they
00:03:44read it, they went crazy,
00:03:47they started talking again about international law, etc.
00:03:51This report also has a part
00:03:53about North Macedonia, and there too it sends alarm bells about
00:03:57what they are doing, some good morning, respect the Prespes Agreement. The
00:04:00constitutional name should be used, not just the term Macedonia, okay, we have messed up
00:04:04there now, but anyway, we have said these things at other times, let's move on to the murderous
00:04:07attack we had yesterday at the
00:04:10Zografou campus when a commando unit, really,
00:04:14with Molotov cocktails, with knives, crowbars, and so on,
00:04:18invaded the university and started indiscriminately beating
00:04:21students. It doesn't matter here where they were from, if they were fascists,
00:04:24they were fascists anyway, from whichever side and color of the political spectrum
00:04:28it is, it is a fascist attack, what else could such an
00:04:32attack be? We had not seen such situations, such
00:04:35murderous attacks, for a long time, because this is what it is, when you enter with
00:04:39knives, crowbars, and Molotov cocktails, your intention is
00:04:41murderous, we had injured students and an extensive investigation
00:04:45is now being carried out by the authorities to find the perpetrators, so we will see
00:04:49these things too, the ease with which you can enter a university area and plunder
00:04:53it, chase people, there are
00:04:56terrible videos with burnt things, we had left all that behind.
00:05:03In Parliament, however, the good things happened yesterday.
00:05:05We have now hit rock bottom, as we say, in the dispute
00:05:08concerning the penal codes, or rather the change of the penal code in 2019.
00:05:13During Alexis Tsipras's term, the government
00:05:15invokes everything that Tsipras's then Justice Minister, Mr.
00:05:19said. It invokes these things.
00:05:22There is a terrible statement from Hellas, from
00:05:26Mr. Tsipras's party, where it addresses the government and says,
00:05:29"Speak with names, not with barks, otherwise shut up." Ah,
00:05:38get out of hand. This phrase caused a stir,
00:05:41of course it caused a stir. The profile of Hellas, with Mr.
00:05:45Tsipras first and foremost, had come out with a more, my friend, moderate profile in relation
00:05:49to SYRIZA-1, as we used to say, what if we say that this is SYRIZA, uncle, anyway,
00:05:52we will discuss these things anyway, in a little while Mr. Pierrakakis will be here with
00:05:56us, which is very important today for you, the borrowers, for
00:06:00the borrowers in general, what will Kyriakos Pierrakakis tell us, the bill is being voted on
00:06:03today in Parliament, it seems that the opposition will also vote on some articles, PASOK
00:06:07that is, they were also made some changes, the
00:06:11minister will tell us, let's go Athina. Papakosta here to see the things of the
00:06:14United States, let's greet her, hello Athina, good day to you, good
00:06:18day then, yesterday we had the statements of the American
00:06:22president, or his first essentially public appearance after
00:06:25this disastrous result for the Republican party
00:06:28in the midterm elections, and yes, the American
00:06:32president was true to his character, what does that mean, he was
00:06:35unpredictable but also predictable, I will explain why,
00:06:38as well as undeterred.
00:06:41Unpredictable because initially he avoided
00:06:44talking about the elephant in the room and chose
00:06:48to essentially talk to us about the new ballroom that
00:06:51is being built at the White House, of course, he didn't escape
00:06:55and here it also fits the predictable because this is something that Donald
00:06:59Trump does, that is, he tries to draw attention
00:07:02away from the negative publications, he didn't succeed
00:07:05by saying something else, exactly, he didn't succeed because there were
00:07:08journalists there who pressed him with such demonstrations.
00:07:17But he was also undeterred, and this is because, even though
00:07:20he grudgingly said that ultimately,
00:07:24yes, perhaps the war in Iran was to blame for this
00:07:28defeat, he nevertheless pointed out that, yes, he would do
00:07:31the same again, that he could not allow Iran to acquire
00:07:35nuclear weapons, and that he felt it was
00:07:38worth it. However, he is looking for a scapegoat, that is obvious, I think,
00:07:41yes. Except that various scenarios were heard and written about him wanting to
00:07:44decapitate the Secretary of War. Here now, it will be
00:07:47perhaps and that he is to blame for this
00:07:51result. Michalis said yesterday that he might not do it now immediately, but it is certain that he will
00:07:54do it. Let's see who will preempt whom. Will the
00:07:57Democrats, who will turn against the
00:08:00head of the Pentagon, preempt him, or will the American
00:08:04president preempt him by waving goodbye and saying thank you
00:08:07very much, goodbye? This is a discussion that
00:08:11is currently
00:08:17we are talking about the most disastrous defeat for the
00:08:19Republicans, the most nightmarish night
00:08:23in 30 years. At this moment, in the House of
00:08:26Representatives, the Republicans have 147
00:08:29seats, 247 for the Democrats, while in the
00:08:33Senate, the Democrats gained 54
00:08:35seats, and the Republicans are left with
00:08:3944. At this moment, Donald Trump
00:08:42ruled for two years all-powerful in Congress,
00:08:46it was his, he ignored it and started an
00:08:49entire war in the Middle East, this time, however, the two
00:08:53years he has left in the presidency, his last
00:08:57presidency, were the last midterms, exactly, he will be pressured,
00:09:00he himself, however, says the following, I am open to
00:09:03cooperating with the Democrats, as long as they do not bring
00:09:07disastrous bills for the country to the table, and a
00:09:10reminder that yes, Mr.
00:09:14Anyway, he also turned the "no" into a cap, governing
00:09:17like that for two years, we will live a paradox, Dimitris, that is, he can
00:09:21do what he wants outside the borders, that is, in foreign policy, and inside the borders,
00:09:24his hands are tied, in reality, a weak president, an oxymoron
00:09:28is what you are describing, and at this moment, the day after in the Republican
00:09:32party is not the best, this
00:09:35blame game has started, as the
00:09:39Anglo-Saxons say, that is, at this
00:09:42moment, we had already noticed before the election that the
00:09:45Republicans, his closest allies, were slowly distancing themselves
00:09:49from him, he didn't listen to anyone, he said,
00:09:52"Pretend that I am on the ballot," and he even went so
00:09:56far yesterday in a phone interview to say that, "You know
00:09:59what, we lost because I wasn't on the ballot, if I were on the ballot,
00:10:02we would have won everything," but he said one thing,
00:10:05then another, he got a pat on the
00:10:08back from the American Vice President, from JD Vance,
00:10:12who, let me remind you, we were reading in various
00:10:15publications in the first months of the war, had opposed
00:10:18the conduct of war in the Middle
00:10:21East, and this time, what he emphasized... in a
00:10:25lengthy post by JD Vance was that essentially
00:10:29the reason we lost is the war, every honest discussion about
00:10:33how we will proceed from now on starts from this
00:10:36point, and let's go to Washington, let's go to Michalis Gradias,
00:10:40let's greet him and bring him into our conversation, to give us the atmosphere from
00:10:44there, as he himself experiences it, of course, and he always knows how to
00:11:25Yes, with this scratching, I think he is asking
00:11:27for it, and others who
00:11:31criticize the president, we had
00:11:33tonight late,
00:11:37an attack by the Governor of Florida, DeSantis,
00:11:40who, the truth is, stood by the president throughout
00:11:44this election period,
00:11:47who has now proceeded to a break,
00:11:50talking about a very heavy defeat
00:11:54of the party, of
00:11:56MAGA, and of the entire environment of President
00:12:00Trump. Moreover, he said at one point
00:12:03that this defeat is approaching
00:12:06the level of extermination of the
00:12:08Republicans.
00:12:11Heavy words. Very heavy words. So, the
00:12:14president is in a difficult position, to
00:12:17face this situation alone,
00:12:21because he himself made sure not to have not to listen to the.
00:12:25not to have serious associates,
00:12:28serious people, and the few serious ones who are in the
00:12:30government and exactly and the few
00:12:33serious ones he has in the government, he doesn't
00:12:36listen to them. The issue, as you understand, he can't find
00:12:40them now or pull a rabbit out of a hat, there are no
00:12:43people, the defeat has no rabbit. Look, Yianni and
00:12:47Dimitris, they have cadres, the
00:12:50Republicans have what we call professional,
00:12:54professional. There are people
00:12:57because what was this, it was
00:13:00a a president alone,
00:13:04right, without the help of any
00:13:07cadre, he tried to do what he did in
00:13:112024, and he did everything he wanted, he did everything wrong, they allowed
00:13:14him, however, to transform the Republican party around his
00:13:18person, I mean, that for 10 years, the Republicans had
00:13:22benefited from his dynamism. and his
00:13:25energy and his appeal to the American people,
00:13:35this power, this strength is expiring, it can no
00:13:39longer, it is what we said, we said it in a way, it is
00:13:42what can happen from now on, Michalis, what do you see the president doing now, how will
00:13:46he proceed, that is, I see, I see more
00:13:49chaos, I see now the Amazon has gone towards the
00:13:52e, of course. We will
00:13:58see, I also see the Democrats who, the
00:14:01arrogance has now gone to them, the arrogance of the
00:14:05Republicans and the MAGA, you went,
00:14:09and it's justified for a day, it can be justified for more
00:14:12than a day or two, okay, you can celebrate a little and say something
00:14:15more, I would say that I met at the
00:14:19airport upon returning from the Capitol, a very
00:14:22important Democratic official who... was going to New York,
00:14:26he was a very important official,
00:14:30I saw him still doing, you know,
00:14:34this victory lap, you might say
00:14:36it was early, etc., but his feet
00:14:40were not, his shoes were not
00:14:50They are worried about - excuse me for interrupting you - they are worried about the
00:14:53fact that at this moment there isn't a
00:14:57two-person figure around whom they can rally, and we saw once
00:15:00again the burden of the election campaign being carried by a
00:15:04former president, a former Democratic president, Barack
00:15:07Obama, that is, will they manage, the person that
00:15:11Athina says is right, to win?
00:15:14Around this, the team doesn't exist. Beautiful. I think you saw the
00:15:18leadership of the Democrats, it's Senator Schumer,
00:15:22he can't do anything, not even
00:15:25when he was young could he do anything, he was favored by other circumstances and
00:15:28he was also favored by his relationship, because he is of Jewish
00:15:32origin, they always
00:15:35voted for him. of Israel, who now
00:15:39came to be against Israel, we also saw
00:15:42Jeffrey, who, the head of the House,
00:15:46is a serious person, but he doesn't have
00:15:49the power of one. Let's go to Athina, to our children, let's go
00:15:53to Chris Pappas, mainly with his overwhelming
00:15:57victory, to see our own people, we will have time to analyze it anyway, come on,
00:16:00Athina, of course, so we are talking about a person, who, as
00:16:04you said earlier, Dimitris, and you made me laugh behind the scenes,
00:16:07yes, now there will be a party basically in Elassona
00:16:11there in Livadi.
00:16:14We are essentially talking about the first
00:16:18openly gay person in the
00:16:21Senate, he won New Hampshire, he is very
00:16:24promising, of course, he is not the only Greek
00:16:28who essentially attracts attention, there are
00:16:32five others, if I'm not mistaken, Nicole Malliotakis, Gus
00:16:36Bilirakis, oh my.
00:16:41who maintain their seats and here too we see that there is
00:16:45a Greek touch once
00:16:48again in the American elections,
00:16:50it was a road called
00:16:53Greek Americans' road, let's put it
00:16:56in Elassona, normally, a road they have had for
00:17:05one in the Senate, in a state which
00:17:09was not, let's say, in the basic seven
00:17:13of the toss-ups, but as we approached Election
00:17:17Day, it attracted the attention of
00:17:20pollsters because it could
00:17:24thus lock in the result, and
00:17:27indeed, here the Democrats with
00:17:48He is experienced, he is experienced as a representative, he didn't,
00:17:51Chris Pappas didn't suddenly wake up a senator, and let's go to Elassona, since we've been mentioning it for so
00:17:55long here, and we like it, and we'll make it
00:17:58even better, this Elassona, in the coming days, let's hear how they reacted
00:18:02there, come on, excitement,
00:18:06because a Livadiotis is in the
00:18:10US Senate,
00:18:19fully Hellenized the American elections, we deserve it, my friend, now
00:18:23we have so many children there, let's say a word or two more,
00:18:26Yianni, we have senators after that, okay, now let's not blame
00:18:29arrogance
00:18:39Menendez, we didn't have the leader in the Senate, as
00:18:41you understand,
00:18:44they also know the issues, that is, these days that we had the opportunity to talk to them,
00:18:48these people know the Greek issues in depth, they are not some people who are
00:18:51third generation and know nothing, even better
00:18:54than Greek politicians, Dimitris,
00:18:58especially Chris Pappas, Nicole, everyone,
00:19:01everyone without exception, Bilirakis, who
00:19:04perhaps the president will be forced to
00:19:08decide to approve, sorry, to nominate
00:19:12for the ambassador position, some person,
00:19:15his best opportunity is Bilirakis, because he has many
00:19:19sympathies among the Democrats, he is the
00:19:45days ago, I repeat what he said, listen to Michalis, yes,
00:19:48House for the Democrats and an upset in the
00:19:52Senate with four flips, meaning
00:19:55seats that are currently Republican will pass into the
00:19:58hands of the Democrats, and I'm telling you which ones, North
00:20:02Carolina, Texas, Ohio, and
00:20:05Alaska, as a result.
00:20:18There, you knew it, you played it. Yes,
00:20:20it was confirmed, it's just 54 seats at this
00:20:24moment, he was right, yes, he was right.
00:20:39Of course, the whole planet is now trying to decode this message from the
00:20:42American elections, we are doing it here too, and we are doing it mainly because we have all these
00:20:46people of ours that we were discussing for so long, and let's see, of course. what
00:20:50role will they play in the course of time and in our relations not only with America but
00:20:54also with Turkey, mainly let's see
00:20:57what the government says and
00:20:59how it now portrays the result and
00:21:03decodes the result of the American elections now for the
00:21:05relations, it seems that in the
00:21:08critical committees there will be
00:21:11people with whom the Greek government has very good
00:21:15relations, and this is important for the country. American relations
00:21:18transcend electoral
00:21:20cycles, support for Greece is bipartisan, this is a very important
00:21:23factor that we should not underestimate, that
00:21:26all Greek candidates were elected.
00:21:30Now, in a little while, Ms. Bakoyannis will be with us, who commented
00:21:33yesterday on the issue, on the defeat of President Trump, on the election result,
00:21:37essentially, we did not lose with Trump, in reality, we did not
00:21:41do badly with the Trump presidency, just as we did not do badly
00:21:44with the issue of Turkey, Turkey has not gained anything, during Trump's presidency, we might have been saying all
00:21:48these years, and he himself, he might have praised Erdogan,
00:21:52but essentially, he has not given anything, and especially the weapons
00:21:55systems that concern us, for Turkey not to
00:22:09complaints about Trump, that is, Trump
00:22:12supported his own interests,
00:22:16interests coincide at this moment, so.
00:22:20The energy sector was high on his
00:22:23agenda, he promised a lot to Turkey,
00:22:27he gave nothing, additional, if you like,
00:22:30strengthening of Greek positions with
00:22:33the election results, because we elected
00:22:36everyone. Very correctly, and this also loaded us with a
00:22:39big economic crisis for all of us, this is the essence, this is mainly an energy
00:22:43crisis all over the planet, unfortunately, and we still have it,
00:22:46Mitsotakis, good, yesterday for.
00:22:51for the elections, that you can't, no matter how rich you are, go and
00:22:54buy an election victory, because, okay,
00:22:58your mask might hurt, but it
00:23:01means you saw that no matter how much money he gave, it didn't lead to a
00:23:05victory for the Republicans,
00:23:07so we also have the Commission which issued these
00:23:11yellow cards, or rather, in the first phase, they don't issue red cards, they don't
00:23:15issue a triple yellow card to Turkey for the
00:23:18Turkish-Libyan.
00:23:21and for everything that happens in the Aegean here with the casus belli that has been here for how many
00:23:25years, and for the cable, these are the
00:23:28remarks, change your course, they say, does this mean anything,
00:23:32my friend, in practice, if this is not accompanied by some consequences for Turkey in
00:23:36relation to funding, because Turkey gets billions from Europe, let's not fool
00:23:40ourselves now, if they don't put a stop to the Turks there, the Turks won't understand,
00:23:44they won't go and talk, and here is the answer, how Turkey responded to
00:23:47this, you will see now what was said.
00:23:59as has been the case in recent years, we observe that the report defends the
00:24:03maximalist, unrealistic, and internationally illegal positions of Greece, notice now
00:24:07Greek Cypriot side, while ignoring
00:24:11once again the legitimate rights, interests, and
00:24:14justified policies of both Turkey and
00:24:18the Turkish Republic. That is,
00:24:21it wants to come out on top, it says, these crazy things, which, however,
00:24:24pass, as long as the others pamper it and it gets a yellow card and not
00:24:28a red card, that's why we say, because the Commission is you are used to, he issues a yellow card, this
00:24:32year passed, next year we'll be fine, next year we'll be saying the same things
00:24:35here, since this progress report on
00:24:45yes, let's go to Lazo Mantikos who is at the spot on the university campus where we had this
00:24:49murder. an attack yesterday by a stormtrooper battalion there
00:24:59morning, although you see a quiet scene behind me, we are
00:25:03at the entrance of the University campus yesterday at noon around 12, it was anything but
00:25:07quiet, as at the time the student assembly was in progress,
00:25:10it was specifically EAK and
00:25:14Panspoudastiki, it was the assembly to organize
00:25:17the mobilizations for the... the three-day celebration of the
00:25:21Polytechnic. Suddenly two different groups, according to
00:25:25information, one enters from the entrance of Physics and the other from the
00:25:29entrance of Mathematics, where they then unite into
00:25:32a group of about 50 people wearing helmets
00:25:36and with their features hidden, according to
00:25:39student testimonies, they were carrying wooden planks,
00:25:43clubs, and a student even mentions an axe,
00:25:47in fact, the photo with is also characteristic.
00:26:01you don't even understand what it is.
00:26:03and you understand now this child, in order to get it off him quickly so that
00:26:07he wouldn't get burned, he had burns,
00:26:09one of the three injured is still hospitalized
00:26:12with burns, while the other two have been discharged,
00:26:16in fact, one of the three talks about an attack
00:26:20with an axe, while they also threw smoke bombs,
00:26:23two of which they lit, all this happened
00:26:26outside the hall, but in the inner area of the
00:26:29university, and in essence, what?
00:26:42there are barriers, yes, these worked yesterday, meaning no one noticed that this group entered
00:26:46and did what it did, and if they noticed, they passed through
00:26:50here, they passed Lazo, this university campus is a
00:26:53large area, it is a large area, excuse me, you will
00:26:57allow me to say it, it's a dog's mess, you can enter from
00:27:01anywhere, and I.
00:27:23and guys, let me tell you something, ever since I was a student at Panteion
00:27:26University, the same things always happened, the same things
00:27:29happened, assemblies where others came in from other
00:27:32factions, either with hidden features or without hidden
00:27:36features, and there was always a beating like crazy, we went to the
00:27:39assembly to talk, to do, to
00:27:42show that things have changed a bit,
00:27:45supposedly these things, my dear, have changed, Yannis says well, let's hear the children who spoke yesterday who were attacked
00:27:49and saw this scene in front of them, let's hear them, I am one of the
00:27:53students who was hit with an axe in the leg and almost attacked by
00:27:56a molotov these paramilitary groups.
00:28:00should know that the student movement is not afraid. We were
00:28:04attacked by paramilitary unknown elements who really
00:28:08remind us of mafiosi, snitches, really with
00:28:11fascist practices, with axes, with molotovs
00:28:15and with equipment that you don't easily find in your
00:28:18daily life. anyway, the Ministry of
00:28:22Education is right to address Britain, what will you do from
00:28:25now on Theodosi so that children can safely enter
00:28:29and do their lessons. and the question is very correct because the
00:28:33Ministry of Education is asking for explanations with the
00:28:37letter it has sent to
00:28:39tell them very specific things to
00:28:43inform them and in fact immediately about how these
00:28:47groups, the two groups, found themselves and we are talking about an organized
00:28:50plan and converged at the Mathematics Department where the
00:28:54assembly was held for the mobilizations for the celebration of the
00:28:58uprising of the Polytechnic. If they passed
00:29:01through the central gate, that's the question you asked before, everything indicates that
00:29:05they did not pass through the central gate, already the police have found a
00:29:09spot in the fence
00:29:12where there are alterations, there is a large hole, so to speak, through which many
00:29:16people can easily pass from
00:29:19there, at this point, please note, the police are focusing their investigations, because
00:29:23in the surrounding roads there are cameras and they are trying to collect
00:29:27from yesterday, in fact, and this process will continue
00:29:30today. video material, because it is not
00:29:34possible for them to be circulating with helmets and hoods in the middle of the road
00:29:38before approaching the university
00:29:40institution, consequently, there they pin their hopes regarding the progress of
00:29:44the investigations, the police, now who are
00:29:47these? That is the question, who
00:29:50caused the incidents? The police are also going back a year
00:29:54back to a video, is there
00:29:57any information at this time available to the authorities, so far the
00:30:01information says. that it is in the collection, from
00:30:04what I understand, from the report and the communications I
00:30:08have, I realize that they must have
00:30:11something in their hands already from yesterday, let's see the State Security
00:30:15that has taken over the investigations, finishing the report, let me tell you,
00:30:18here that they are going back a year ago, also a serious incident we
00:30:22had at the Polytechnic, again during the
00:30:24celebrations of the uprising of the Polytechnic
00:30:28and a march today,
00:30:30today at 11:00,
00:30:34and for the educational
00:30:37reform, but mainly they will also deal with
00:30:40this
00:30:49has now reached its peak, such incredible expressions
00:30:52are heard, you say, my dear, wait, what will be said then, we have a long period ahead of us,
00:30:56so we will go, there are no words we heard yesterday.
