ben smith.> that was a very easy question, yes, it's going to make it very hard. >> this is my question. is it going to be -- do you remember in the beginning days of the trump administration where we would watch the white house briefing every day because of the craziness that would come out of that. is this going to happen with correct me if i'm wrong now? >> i think probably not. as indkaitlan found it was impossible not to watch congress over the weekend but you can go weeks or months not caring what the house of representatives does. this is an enormous headache for kevin mccarthy but the house isn't expected to do that much over the next couple of years, republican led house, democratic led senate. sometime next summer they have to raise the debt ceiling and looking for fistfights on the floor and tears and all that, we may have to wait a few months for that. there's a couple things that really has to do and no clear way how they're going to do them. >> it's fascinating that today they're g

ben smith reports from paris. after a long career on his feet, ludovic shop alone is looking forward to the option of spending more time like his customers do. but if the french president gets his way and raises the retirement age to 64, ludovic will have to spend 2 more years behind the bar one on grenada. during the pandemic, the money was found and the biggest french fortunes grew. a 189000000000 euros. i think with this money, we should be able to finance public pensions a little bit. instead of letting that money going to the pockets of people already have so much. i know what is of an idea when the government last tried to reform one of your most generous pension systems in 2019. there were weeks of walk out and protests and then the pandemic. iranian rogue, who are bizarre? look, the men on a cron needs a symbolic project to fanny launch, his 2nd term. what does he want to do? the image of mac crohn crisis manager has become so important. the image of reforming micron has somewhat faded into the background.

ben smith has more home, one of the projects, most french people accept or agree that the has to be some sort of reform the pension system. because the 70 percent, or maybe even more according to some polls. or are again the type of reform and manual macro wants to start increasing retirement to 64 from 62. they want other options explored, for example, increasing employ contributions or taxing the super rich 12 of francis biggest duty and have combined to sort of lead the process started up with unusual. unions rally rely, rarely united. the ukranian president says, there are several theories about wednesday's helicopter. crash which killed his interior minister. 40 and people died when the cropped came down next to a kindergarten in the town of bribery on the outskirts of keith. israeli forces have killed 2 palestinians during a ride in the occupied west bank that was shot and a refugee camp in the northern city of jeanine. those days violence takes a number of palestinians killed by rally, forces this month to 17. and the united nations pays cape is say they have discovered the bodies

ben smith.s is really outrageous to me, because i think, i feel like it sort of, what happened in memphis overshadowed this video coming out and i thought that this was a really important story, considering what i had just talked about. this was awful. elected republicans, members of conservative media, making up these conspiracy theories, and now it's just like, eh, it never really happened. >> yeah, god, that call is so chilling, where his only regret is he didn't get more people. but, yeah, i think there's this whole strain of populous politics that kind of relies on, well, you know, we're just asking questions. maybe nothing is true. you can't trust the police. you can't trust any authorities, you can basically just trust whatever you feel to be true. which is, we hate these people, it's probably their fault, they're probably lying. and so there was just this very broad embrace of totally crazy conspiracy theories. you know, often, there's an element in this particular case of sort of leerin

i want everyone to say thank you to ben smith before i turn it over to questions.[applause] and i think we're happy to take questions, there is a mic here if anybody wants to cause. we have the gentleman in the back. >> and when i go around and -- keep your questions rather truncated, there's so much to unpacked. we're gonna be here all night, keep the questions brief and truncated. we'll take at least a few questions. we always invite diversity of questioners. so, please think of some things that you may want to ask. >> my name is thomas, i say -- afghanistan and all that. i've been in foreign countries and all that. -- they're doing good.
