my view would be now, it would be a very difficult argument to say you should not interview marine le pen. that the politics has broken down and you have to engage with her. you're not saying interviewing someone doesn't give them a platform, you're saying they already had a platform? when they have a platform... then it's justified. well, otherwise, what will you do? never speak to them? let's take donald trump. should journalists never interview him ? he's the president. should you never interview him or should you be trying to hold him to account? so in a moment where people have power, you have to hold them to account. and myjudgment was that, richard spencer in this case, was moving into the realms of power. now, it is a judgment, so i think it is a very legitimate question of should you or should you not, but it was my call. in that case, it made sense. before we end, when you look back at your career, which story, are there stories you're most proud of? the story i'm most proud of is claudette colvin, who was the woman who was kicked off the bus before rosa parks in montgomery, ala

i think what we are likely to see, however is that you will see the extreme and marine le pen's partyg alliance will also vote in favor and the key to this vote is the republicans and the republican party and they are being told by their leader not to vote in favor, but some of them are rebelling and want to vote this government down. so it could come down to the votes of 20, 25 republicans whether or not they want to bring the government down. i think they won't, but nobody is feeling confident about that right now. >> what does this mean for macron for the rest of his term? because it seems as though he's had greater opposition than he expected and it must wound him, right? >> i think that's right. if his government survives these two votes of no confidence, politically, the government and the president have been badly wounded by this, and looking at the rest of the second term, he hasn't been in office for one of those five years. it's going to be extremely difficult about whether or not it's democratic to use the constitutional provision and is it politically legitimate and that w

the yellow vest protests in 2018, in november 2018 , reducing these protests to a debate between marine le pen, the leader of the national front there was france and sarah and emmanuel macron, the president of this country, but now we see that the french politicians, by the way, kept silent about most of the protests , but the protests were widespread and in all cities and among all sections of the country , which were completely unprecedented in a objection to the pension issue it is in france, and during the last year and now, there has been a history of students joining these protests, and on the other hand , witness the slogans that are being given , it is not just about correcting this decision of the french government , many slogans are about the structure of the capitalist system and the structure of power is in france, and even we see that in these details it does not refer to the entire structure, it is exactly the same. for this reason, we know that power has an underlying gender. even we observe that the french government, which considers itself the leader of democracy . or the disc

i think what we're likely to see, however, is that you will see the extremes, that will be marine le penvote is the republicans. the central right republicans party. they are being told by their leader not to vote in favor but some of them are rebelling and want to vote this government down. so, it could come down to the votes of 20, 25 republicans, whether or not they decide to try and bring the government down. i think that they won't. but i think no one is feeling confident about that right now. >> what does this mean for macron for the rest of his term? because it seems as though he's had greater opposition than he expected and it must wound him, right? >> i think that is right. i think that even if technically his government survived these two votes of no confidence, politically the government and the president has been really badly wounded by this. it means looking for rest of his second term, he hasn't even been in office for one of those five years. it is going to be extremely difficult. there is a general debate here about whether or not it is democratic to use this constitution

this is trump with us and marine le pen yes, they are alone white fluffy.t's how it's very simple actually it's got very simple conservative criteria. this is a person who, on the one hand, has nothing against market relations and political competition. he is for multi-party system, but at the same time what fundamentally distinguishes him from the current neo-liberals. the most important criterion of the current conservative, which does not include a liberal. this is what he believes that in addition to individual right freedoms, there are also rights and freedoms, which is impossible without the existence of the state. he is for my traditional value system. he will change human normality for narza , which, if we talk about the european version , is based on the christian matrix, that is, conservative in the fact of the birth of a child. when he is born in him understands who he is, because he sees the objective signs that we are allowed to say something boys or girls. i apologize for such things. this is what is fundamentally different and the conservativ

it should be stressed marine le pen and the national rally have effectively played no role. the movement is led by labor unions, moderate labor unions to more militant left-wing labor unions, and being led by the parties of the left. it is important point to stress, people expected or thought maybe the left was dead or labor unions in france could not mobilize anymore have been proven wrong by this movement. you have a mass movement that relates to things led by labor showing it can have this cultural appeal, this power that has mobilize the french workforce. amy: cole stranger, thank you for being with us, paris-based journalist speaking to us from marseilles. coming, congressmember ro khanna on the banking crisis, the attempts to ban tiktok, and more. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: concertgoers group coins and boot musicians of the orchestra as the musicians right out of the union statement about president macron's plan. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are joined now by democratic congressmber ro khanna of silico

marine le pen meanwhile mass protests that often spill over into disarray continue to rage across france garbage, instead of listening to the opinion of citizens, or at least going to dialogue with them, the french government continues to crack down on protests. police use water cannons, batons and tear gas. government decision. push through the reform infuriated ordinary citizens and opposition protesters are not satisfied with the change itself. it was decided to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 years with the abolition of all benefits, and the way it was adopted, as if the oil workers were secretly on strike. a triggered sector somewhere stopped the shipment of fuel , problems arise at gas stations among the first to take their position and designated scavengers. they claim that they are doing the most difficult and very harmful work. and the older a person becomes, the more dangerous it is for life. this not to mention exhausting physical exertion, waste from the streets has not been removed for several days, and as a result of riots, spontaneous dumps, fire engines have flared

that the rest and ultimately in the second run offstage voted against the far right candidate , marine le pen rather than for him, and then he was unable to secure a parliamentary majority, so there's sort of opposition to the idea that he can legislate without building these coalitions. i think then when it comes down to the sort of the social system issue, i think the government has done an adequate job of actually explaining the specifics of these reforms, how, for example, they apply. two people that have worked very hard jobs for many years. people who started working in a much younger age people that have raised families or taking care of elderly or sick members of the family, for example, so there's been a kind of marketing issue here and it kind of way of speaking to the french people. that has been problematic, but ultimately you have a polarized political landscape and in mandarin michael, finding it very hard and difficult to build coalitions across party lines to get this policy through. got it and understood. this is not just about pension reform. it's about macron his mandate to

well, roughly speaking, the ultra -left melanchones and the far-right marine le pen have 240 votes together289 they lack 49 votes if the split party is the republicans. these are the heirs of shirak. sarkozy, these are the people of the golitsa, they sometimes call themselves 62 people in the national assembly. here you go, if 49 of them vote for him, they did not trust him, then everything, maybe a little less, because there are still 25, and there are the rest of those who did not join from somewhere out there from the deportations . in general, there is a chance that my forecast will most likely not work out, but the macroin does not have confidence that it will not work out, so now he is having very anxious days, and the head of government, ms. born, is the same. yes, i also spoke. i am with us with our french experts and correspondents who live there and follow the situation. and so they said there they just let me know that once only in the history of france it turned out to remove the government. in this way, in 60 there some year, and i would like to pay attention to something else.

marine le pen believes that the prime minister must resign , otherwise a social explosion may occur.ut it. we are gathered here today just to tell the deputies. you are responsible. you must vote conscientiously responsible. will this reform be useful today? will it be beneficial for the workers when 90% of the people oppose this reform in all districts the answer is no, in terms of democracy, because that we see strong opposition to this draft law immediately after the abolition of the vote to parliament. crowds moved, protesters strike continues terminals for the reception of liquefied gas. closed blocked oil refineries pickets. today they tried to disperse the forces. this is what the fuck the scavengers of paris still refuse to clean the city the prefect decided to force 4.000 people to work forcibly, otherwise the prison lists were handed over to the police, but the deputies of the national assembly suggest otherwise i would like a solution to him, since the position is vacant, that giral darmonen take the place of a scavenger for a week, along with gabriel atal and emmanuel mac
