hello, we're on the air internationally. events of the week, chronicle, facts, comments. joe biden withdrew from the presidential race, a kamalukharian for the kingdom, a laugher from a professorial family. the taylor swift effect: how modern pop culture influences politics. materials of our program. paris is hosting

the olympics, what will happen to the olympic movement, a story from the scene. nothing can stand in the way of saving our democracy. personal ambitions included, and i decided that the best way was to move on, pass the torch to the new generation. during the olympic season. everyone has their own torch. joseph biden's marathon is ending. the forty-sixth president of the united states has decided not to seek re-election and pass the baton. although a week ago he himself and his inner circle angrily rejected such a possibility. they say the party aristocracy and donors have raised the issue head on. and then there's kamala haris. they were just whispering about her that it would be nice for biden to have another running mate for a second term. and now... a giant of thought and the father, that is

, the mother of american democracy. pragmatic and moderate is the opinion of the new york times. radical - says fox news. and the vile, but most liberal person in the senate is a characteristic from donald trump. all this is fifty-nine-year-old kamola haris. she was born into a wealthy family. she was taken to school on a separate bus, after all. berkeley, california, where the family settled, was almost entirely white. in one of the interviews , haris spoke about herself and her sister may. because they were black, the neighborhood kids weren't allowed to play with us. her mother, a high-caste woman from india, was involved in breast cancer research. she herself died of cancer in 2009, at the age of 70. kamla's father, originally from jamaica, became the first black man. professor of economics

at stanford university. during her student years, in addition to her studies, she fought against apartheid and participated in sit-ins. after graduating from howard university, this is not harvard, she was admitted to the bar in california and then became an assistant district attorney. haris's career quickly took off and in 2003 she took the position of district attorney, becoming the first black woman in this position. convictions for felonies and drug offenses rose 15% under her tenure. in 2011, haris beat her opponent by less than a percent, again became the first woman and african-american, only now she is the attorney general of california, they say, with the help of the gods; during the elections , kamala's aunt in india broke 108 coconuts in a hindu temple. in hinduism, the coconut is...

sacred, but the activities of prosecutor general haris are assessed ambiguously; one thing she cannot be blamed for is a lack of taste, strict the vice president combines fitted jackets and trouser suits with sneakers and, of course, a string of white or black pearls. the most powerful woman in the world according to forbes for 2021, married at 49 to... new york-born jewish entertainment lawyer doug emhaff. after the victory of the biden harris tandem in the elections, he was baptized as the second gentleman of the united states, and like joe biden, harris found her chosen one on a blind date that a friend arranged for them, although the public remembered her first scandalous affair with the mayor of san francisco more. willie brown, who was 31 years older , provided.

usa, and donald trump called her crazy because, quote: a normal person cannot laugh like that. the vice president herself does not plan to limit herself. a week ago,

after the assassination attempt on trump, it seemed that fortune was finally on his side. after biden's abdication, there was an explosion of enthusiasm among democrats and some confusion among republicans. with such intensity and dynamism , it’s scary to think what else will happen in the 3 months remaining before the elections, in forecasts, there is no point now. the current company is very informative for understanding the nature of modern politics, the dispute is essential, opponents understand us interests differently. trump and his like-minded people can be simply called soil nationalists, the democratic elite, internationalists, and there are a lot of nuances here and there, but the nature of the disagreements is clear and fundamental for the future of the state. the fight itself no longer boils down to a competition of political technologies, as it was 20 years ago, to a shootout of memes and feverish

exchange labels. social networks require increasingly simple approaches so that the voter’s brain does not boil, it needs to be constantly blown up. my mother sometimes told us: i don’t understand what’s wrong with you young people. you think you fell from a coconut tree, you exist in the context of everything that surrounds you, of what came before you. one of the most popular, as they say now, viral excerpts from kamala haris, her last year’s speech about youth. trump should have tried to mention the coconut tree. that's it, a racist for all time. and a black politician can afford this. the idea is expressed a bit strangely, but the problem is captured accurately. modern consciousness is not interested in context, everything is fragmentary. the irony is that kamala haris is now being promoted for those who have fallen from the coconut.

stylish trendy youth. the company is in lime color, like the cover. album, the brother of the british singer, it must be said, not the very first row, charlie xcx. it was released in june and now occupies high positions in the world charts. the performer did not disappoint. the day after biden’s announcement, she wrote to networks: kamalla is the brother. a russian-speaking commentator immediately wants to practice wordplay. but no, the meaning is different, he is not our brother. which generally has quite a lot of meanings in american british slang, these meanings are usually not the most positive, but that is, if you

remember maybe juanna stingray, then our friend of russian rockers, before she came to russia, she also means a girl released, she wanted to make her career in america, released her debut album. it was called beverly hills brad, otherwise there is someone like this - an upstart, an impudent person from such a prestigious area of ​​​​beverly hills, at that time this meant exactly that, such - here in college, this means, well, a pompous, impudent person, but then the meanings changed a little, basically this is the kind of person who gets what he wants, arrogant. maybe, so to speak , to push people, but i looked here and it means that some meanings have already been added and from the bdsm culture, forgive me, which also means some kind of brawler who provokes conflicts, but then it means somehow a scandal breaks out, let's say, and then they put pressure on him and he is very happy,

this seems to me something reminiscent of what happened at one time with the word punk, which also did not mean anything good, i don’t know in the sixties - there some kind of trash , some kind of bastard, in the films of the clique there is dirty gary, that’s what they call him , people took all sorts of panx and now it’s as if with pride. you can say yes, yes , yes, garbage, well, like this, you know, i am garbage, which means full of pride, here it is, having released this album, it means that in an interview she began to explain what this is, what kind of brother it means, what kind of brother is this, mm, this girl, this, by the way, is mainly applied to women, although it is similar to the russian word brother, the kind of girl who, it means, loves parties, and she’s also so arrogant and maybe she doesn’t speak in a papat, she smokes something like that, but the main thing is that she is herself, yes, that is, this is such an attractive , which means that in culture there is a desire

to be authentic and so on, like this, what she is, in general, if in our opinion, although she’s a shabut, she’s one of her own, it’s funny, of course, how out of a fifty-nine-year-old lady the prosecutors decided to mold an idol of the younger generation, hope for the future, the rivals generally switched roles, now they insist that trump - the oldest presidential candidate in history, and this is horror, horror, horror! michael de adder: the move is a symbol of the difficulty of choosing a democratic party, the words symbolize it, trump is written on the locomotive. harry varvel or who forced joe biden get out of the race. three letters: dnc, it's national. the committee of the democratic party has ostracized their symbol, and a man who looks like a hostage says: “i, of course, deserved

a second term, but i was convinced to pass the torch of leadership.” french cartoonist pete. he used to be a newspaper reporter, but at some point he took up a pencil. with the departure of joe biden, trump has a new serious opponent, wrote the french newspaper mont. the drawing is titled by the author. well, weren't you waiting for the creature? this is komarnitsky from bulgaria. biden is dropping out of the presidential race. reaction trump, according to the author, is quite extremely eloquent. frank hansen from los angeles. wyden dropped out of the race, and vice presidential candidate jay. vance says to trump, i want you to know that i fully support you 100%. well, that's in case you quit the race too. dicrete and san diego union.

the machine immediately started working to its fullest, in addition to party bosses, like clinton cheats, obama cheats and nancy pilosi, kamala was already supported by first-rate stars, beyoncé, billy alish and, most importantly, teilar. swift, the person of last year according to time megaworld magazine of world pop culture. now, if she decided to run for president, there would definitely be no obstacles for her. inflation had barely dropped in europe in the spring when a new problem appeared - taylor swift. the grandiose world eres tour, which started from the usa back in 2023, has reached europe. economists are seriously concerned that fan spending on tickets, restaurants, travel and hotels could trigger

a price hike. in may, a surge was noted in spain and portugal. statistical office acknowledged that the demand for hotel services in lisbon against the backdrop of a large-scale cultural event played a big role. if taylor swift were an economy, it would be larger than 50 countries in the world. if only it were a corporation. it would rank fourth among most admired brands in terms of customer loyalty, and is on par with the british monarchy in terms of fan loyalty. this is what dan fleetwood, president of the research company quatchen pro, said. in 8 months, the collections from the concerts have already broken the record of the five-year farewell tour. elton john. calculations from the british bank barclays show that the contribution to the economy. 15 performances in england this year could amount to just over a billion dollars, for

comparison, this is about as much as the uk government managed to save last year, reducing the budget deficit by about the same amount. just in case, the bank of england decided to postpone the reduction in the discount rate until the pop star's concerts took place. the term “swiftflation” has come into use, which refers to a sharp increase in the costs associated with performing. usa in section about philadelphia. here, despite the lull in the industry, in general, her concerts attracted a record influx of tourists at the beginning of the pandemic. the american travel association has compared taylor swift's impact on the economy to a superball that is attracting enormous attention. this year the objects

of attraction have united. it's all about the singer's romance with american football star travis kelce. swift flew to the super bowl straight from a concert in japan, and the lovers' kisses were dubbed the most expensive in history. but that's not all, because it's not just about money, but also about artificial natural changes. during the set, fans and singers dancing at the concert caused seismic activity comparable to an earthquake of magnitude 2.5. these data were recorded by scientists from the institute. western washington. there is no arguing about taste, but i confess, your humble servant, i am not at all able to understand the reasons for the wild popularity of taylor swift around the world. apparently, i’m too faded to appreciate the sparkle of the modern. it represents

the long-awaited, and i would say, desired, normality. in fact, normality in pop culture, which is overloaded with freaks of all stripes, even charlie xx, who was mentioned today , doesn’t seem to be a freak, but it’s still such an aggressive, impudent presentation, it’s some kind of out-of-touch, everything else, here - people got simple normal people, they got a model with whom they can associate themselves, that is, a girl who, well, is not impudent, does not interfere with her... there are no contact lenses, there are snakes, i don’t know there, the tongue is not cut there in two parts, there is nothing scary there piercing, that is, it’s normal, and apparently the demand for this normality is still so great that she, mm, just fell into this, she didn’t do all this the first time either, she started out as a pop-country singer, and like in her

time - the now living and god bless him country singer willie nelson, in the seventies he united, he managed to unite two cultural lines that seemed hostile to each other, these are the lines of hippies and rock music, and the country line, which was dominated rednecks, and such a rather conservative one aggressive approach, so he made it so that these two audiences somehow simply connected and began to be friends on the platform of his music, and taylor swift was also able to do this, she brought a little bit of this conservative country pop spirit and...

in 2018 she signed a contract, the rights to the situation developed in such a way that when all the recorded albums did not actually belong to her, and accordingly, when she had already become an established performer , the issue of transferring rights arose, there were large public discussions, in the end that’s all led to a rather unconventional way out of the situation, because...

a contract with a new recording studio , based on her position as an established artist, was able to extract more favorable conditions for herself, according to which the rights now fully belong to her, that is, this is such a fight for the rights of workers it turned out actually yes. in this regard, she also provoked interest among other colleagues in the workshop, since she became in fact the first person who really paid attention to this and gave it a public eye, and usually performers either agree that the rights do not belong to them, leave everything as is, and some simply buy them back, that is, for example, when there were discussions about the potential buyout of all these albums, the amount was mentioned as 300 million dollars, yeah. on the one hand, for performers who are faced with this problem already at some fairly high position, this is not such

a significant amount, but by the time taylor swift faced this problem, her overall, let’s say, financial security was a little more than 300 million dollars, that is , in fact, she was offered to sell everything that she has in order, including property, in order... to buy back the rights to her album, well , as she herself said, i’m not betting on my past, i’m betting on my future, it’s beautiful, after all, well, it was 300 million, now it’s much more, they’re talking about the swiftonomics phenomenon, here’s the mystery, why i don’t know why it’s raising a wave of inflation in some countries, well, first of all, we still need to evaluate a little soberly the numbers that we have, because if... we look at some absolute indicators, then we understand that the shift is not really significant, but firstly, if we compare the amounts that it conventionally made in the usa in

europe, in the us tour lasted for months, yes, indeed, this provokes a gigantic demand, a gigantic supply, starting from hotels, ending, well, with the consumer sector, that is, elementary grocery stores, and if we look at... europe, the picture there is already significantly smaller, because that the concert lasts 1-2 days, three, respectively, the amounts are not so significant, and it’s difficult to talk about some kind of truly swiftonomics, but the very fact that she is making phenomenal profits on this tour really is, this is the first tour that has crossed the billion mark. usa, before that the record holder was elton john, but his tour lasted a total of 6 years, wow, well, again, there’s a discount for the fact that 2 years were during

the coronavirus crisis, respectively, immediately minus 2 years, that’s the earnings mechanism itself, more precisely, promotion, well, when there was, i don’t know, elbies presley or michael jackson, such idols, there was one business model, now in conditions. this total domination of new media, social networks, it probably already works in some other way, it works on the one hand differently, because first of all, of course, social networks become a source of promotion; -taylor swift focused primarily on all her steps, all her interactions with anyone, starting again from... ending with, say, her personal life, is always covered, mainly by social networks, be it

fans are also watching her very closely, but perhaps her phenomenon lies in the fact that she provokes the so-called fear of being left behind, as in english they call it the fear of missing out, that is, when a gigantic stream rushes over you and information, one way or another connected with her, with whom she is now in a relationship, where she is now, where she is moving, and how much her cat earns, and naturally there is a feeling that we are really missing something, this is a state in itself, it is inherent precisely in the generation of zoomers and maybe a little younger than millennials, that is , and older, on the contrary, that is, those... people who most actively use social networks, every time they see something that seems to be heard somewhere, constantly begins to appear in front of them eyes, they have this very

fear. that they are missing something really important, they need to immerse themselves in this topic too, which means they need to follow this even more carefully, of course, of course, but - at the same time, no one ever canceled, after all, she is a musical performer, a musical performer lives not only and not so much through her public life, but first of all, of course, through her creativity, creativity develops and promotes everywhere, from streaming platforms to radio.

this title from, say, the creative industry , the impression is already beginning to creep in that something seems to be passing you by, something large-scale, you need to understand, and accordingly, this provokes an even greater flow, there is already a demand for it, it is the the most generite generates is this very one, this very one...

he himself even ran for president in the last elections, his colleague in the genre 50 sens, gene simons from the group keys, and the legendary rock guitarist ted newjand, a truly fierce conservative with a rifle. it is interesting, however, that the depth of the current split in society.
