to be under the sword of damocles all the time and take the atlantean expansion for granted and liverding to the rules that it dictates to us. i understand you. are you ready to live by them? you follow them and you live by them and you live by receiving grants in order to tell about how the elections were held, convincing the world that it was all a lie, a fake, and the elections did not take place. it is beneficial to you who writes? this is written by the very people who idolize the nineties. countries but if the defense prevents you from building gardens, why then, when everything was destroyed, did not build these gardens a medical institution? why are you not interested in this, you live only on denial. but on the basis of negation, especially in russia, nothing can be built . negation in russia without a creative movement. chaos rebellion blood death. well, from what i've read. you probably consider yourself a pacifist. and us, so to speak, all the other militarists. what can be militarism in a country that has gone through the great patriotic war. and if we are militarists, t

the sword of damocles. for understanding israeli intelligence agents disrupted ballistic missile development projects of another country by eliminating its main initiators to steal a brand new fighter jet of another country thanks to the recruitment of its military to destroy for more than 20 years, the organizer and you are the participants of the terrorist attack at the munich olympics in 1972, and most importantly - the mossad was able to take revenge for the genocide of its people, the importance of our exhibition is not so much in highlighting the details and mechanisms as it was implemented, but in an example that should be studied by everyone, so that such a monster as eichmann and the regime in which he worked never appeared again . the kidnapping of adolf eichmann is the same successful and one of the most famous operations of israeli intelligence. on may 11, 1960, the nazi war criminal responsible for committing genocide against the jewish people, the mossad kidnapped in buenos aires, argentina, where eifman fled from persecution, and in less than two weeks, the german was brought

and so to my mind, the sword of damocles that hangs over our head is effectively not only we can have it on the defendant live on my life, but it is also disincentive eyes, all search and rescue on the island of last month. there is no more search and rescue happening here and yet people continue to down. how confident are you that the judge will find that you and the fellow defendants are innocent? i am heartened and fortified by the fact that we have followed every rule and every law. there is a right to seek asylum in european law. there is a need to protect the right to life in that law. we have a right to a fair trial. there is a duty under international maritime conventions to provide help to people in distress. we have done all of those things. all we ask that european union greece follow those very same rules. and there are people who argue that rescue missions like the one you were on only encourage more people to make the treacherous journey across the mediterranean. what would you say to them? i would say that show me any evidence of that. i am, while i was imprisoned at a

mccarthy, assuming he takes up the speakership role, we'll have it somebody put it the sword of damoclesver his head because it would just take one vote from one member to strip him of the speakership. there is no question, though, that given all we have seen over the last few days and indeed the last few days and indeed the last few days and indeed the last few hours and we are continuing to see now that this is going to be a very contentious session of congress and a very contentious of years on the floor of the lower chamber. on the floor of the lower chamber-— on the floor of the lower chamber. , ., ., chamber. david, it is a real soap opera _ chamber. david, it is a real soap opera and _ chamber. david, it is a real soap opera and we - chamber. david, it is a real soap opera and we will - chamber. david, it is a real- soap opera and we will continue to watch it. thank you very much. in other news. a six—year—old boy is in police custody after a teacher was shot and wounded at an elementary school in virginia. the teacher has suffered a life—threatening gunshot wound after an alterca

so long term they look strong, but there's a damocles hold on them because of the to have lawsuits they have tried to spin away those liabilities by using a texas law and put all of those into an entity that they capitalized, but the plaintiffs are after their balance sheet, which has $25 billion worth of cash on hand the problem is the existential risk as far as the bankruptcy courts will they allow them to do what they just did, which means the risk would go away, but if they nullify that, you probably have a much high are volatility move. to me that is the risk here. >> i feel prepared for the morning. what is the letter grade would you give earnings season so far? >> let's give it a b-minus needs improvement. i'm grading on a curve >>> we'll leave it there thank you both very much >>> still ahead, all the tech job cuts are adding up there could be even more on the way. we'll round up the headlines and look at who could be next. >>> another glance back at the dow heat map i can tell you -- oh, no, they moved it three names are in the red today. leading the way, everybody, intel up 3.

handing the sort of damocles over. now you've been to my. well that is an interesting dynamic that mccarthy and in the river that congress would have to back. >> although hearing dispatcher, jewish space, later qanon lady being described as a true member of the gop caucus was not on my new year's morning bingo card. >> so i don't. no >> on that, note on the bar being low, molly, i've got to ask you, what do you make of the recent and ongoing fight between former powers lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene? how is that going to affect the gop going forward? >> it is amazing, right? boebert and greene are a big part of the party. think about marjorie taylor greene. a hugely successful small dollar donations which the base loves. even though both were barely got reelected, because she does come from actually a pretty mixed district, i do think that this could hurt them. they are majority so slim. kevin mccarthy is barely speaker. every unforced error could be a disaster for him. so i do actually think this is going to be a problem for them

that dark cloud, sword of damocles. it never goes away. janet yellen said it could be disaster.ated stated this we no more fiscal crises in our lifetime. you're latest on the debt ceiling showdown. >> charles, it is always ongoing. i've been doing a long time. comes up every five or six years. we're going through another iteration. work backward. we'll not have financial crisis off of this. we'll not default on the debt or technical default where treasury misses an interest payment, that is not going to happen. people will pretend it will be really important. people will worry the in the markets one time the debt ceiling finally causes all of these dislocations. fortunately it won't happen but it doesn't mean we shouldn't prioritize certain fiscal policies. this would be a good opportunity to do so. unfortunately i don't expect any real positive to come out when this thing ultimately gets settled probably sometime in q3 this year. charles: wow. to that point, you heard hillary mention the interest, $400 billion. i want to know how that relates to jay powell? you know, because, y

we've talked about that before but certainly that was the sort of damocles hanging over donald trumpnd his campaign. now joe biden, he can point to joe biden he did it too, you're treating me differently, i think that takes a lot of the steam out of that investigation. neil: real quickly, matt do you think there are other documents? this is a process seems out of control not only with this president, what was found at mar-a-lago, whether justified or not with donald trump, seen it with general petraeus, sandy berger, hiding documents in his socks, there is a history of this craziness? why is that? why are these documents so spread out, even institutions that have control of them don't even know where they are or get late wind, oh, this one is missing? >> well, right. that is what we learned about the donald trump case, there was a law, they were looking forespecific documents missing. in joe biden's case doesn't seem there was any log. these were purloined out of the white house without anybody knowing. i know when i handled classified documents i never kept them on my desk. made sur

not short term, quick hits with a sort of damocles hanging over us. this has to be handled responsibly. >> in terms of the way this all can be attacked or approached, if you will, first of all, you have the demand for budget cuts. it's coming from the hard-line republicans. do they not understand what default could mean for the economy? how it could eventually affect their own constituents. i mean, does this once again come down to just who's going to blink first? or is there some kind of an avenue for the debt limit and spending cuts to be treated as separate issues? >> i think long term, congress has not shown, especially my colleagues across the aisle, that they're responsible enough to address this. so, i think long term, you've got to look at flipping the law, where unless congress acts, there is no debt ceiling. that doesn't mean we're irresponsible because we have to come to terms with this. but not in a short term, haphazard fashion like they're talking about right now. we want to talk about this, there's a way to do it. just not in this manne

. >> having the sort of damocles hanging over the speaker's head threatening to vacate the chair and only one person needs to trigger that, that is what drove john boehner out of the congress. >> this is the dynamics question. today there is an alliance between kevin mccarthy and the most conservative people in his conference. how long does that good will or good faith last? they'll get through the vote but in two weeks? >> we're joined now by congressman kelly armstrong of north dakota who has been a supporter of kevin mccarthy on all 12 ballots. so you were mccarthy before mccarthy was cool, congressman. how was he able to pick up these 12 votes so far of people not voting for him who just now voted for him. >> i think it's been the same way he's shown his leadership style over the last four years i've been in congress, late last night when there were different groups organizing and meeting and trying to come to terms, speaker-elect mccarthy wasn't even there. he trusted people on both sides of the aisle to sit around a table, do it as long as it takes and come to a conclusion and

that sword of damocles is going to be hard to escape. >> after everything they went through into thek the rules deal tonight, but we'll count as we go. as you made note, michael, there aren't a ton of great rap leashes about rules per se, it's a little mundane. but there was a great track by yo gotti and g-easy with the core rus, i don't follow rules and they don't like that, which could apply to some of these rebels. >> and that was kind of my mantra when i was chairman. i can relate to some of that. >> michael steele, a shout-out to yo gotti. i did want to plumb the depths of another -- i'm not just complimenting our viewers, but i read the messages i get. we got a lot of viewers who track this stuff, people who say, oh, wow, you can see more of the house floor than usual. people watch the news, watch c-span. you don't get to see this much. some of it is interesting. transparency. some of it s wow, messy. i want to run through a moment that's got a lot of acclaim. here we go. if you watch your screen, you see this completely pulled back when tensions are getting high as gaetz was m

either mccarthy becomes a neutered powerless speaker who has a sort of damocles over his head that couldall at any time because anybody in that body could call to vacate the chair or someone else becomes speaker, but they have won this. i mean the only thing that's left is one to drive out with mccarthy's car and another one to wear his coat and i mean he's given everything away. >> but, do you think if you give in -- if mccarthy gives in here to these folks, whoever is next is going to -- >> my concern is not for the republican party. my concern is for the country. this is a precursor of an awful couple of years. >> that's a really important point because, again, giving all the things he's giving away not at what cost but what will that look like over the next couple of years if every day, every week we are back here having to vote again? nothing is going to move. you know, the other thing i do want to say, this is exactly what the american people voted against, you have a handful of maga extremists, destructionists i would call them basically holding the united states house hostage ove

crickets and worms for cooking , the news, at first glance, seems unexpected, like gold's sword of damocleshy, then, do the same parisians change the crunch of a french roll for crickets and grasshoppers, those dried ones, of course, also crunch on their teeth, but agree that they are far from being as appetizing as the famous parisian baguette, on the other hand. the so-called green agenda, which has not gone away and captured us green politicians ideas to abandon not only gasoline and diesel cars, but also cows which environmentalists put almost in second place in terms of contribution to atmospheric pollution have long been flying in the air. and it would seem, in what cows were guilty before ecologists. and the thing is that cows eat grass, and in the process of digestion they emit methane into the atmosphere is another matter, of course, an insect or beetles, their carbon footprint is harmful to the atmosphere, probably even less than that of greta tumbek, and environmentally friendly protein from larvae, let and not as appetizing as a well -done steak. but the same nutritious and usef

reality is when you're having a negotiation with government and he's going there has to be that damoclesords and teaching you actually we we're not to be going to we're not going to withdraw labour for the negotiations to work there has to occasionally damage done to be occasionally damage done and again i think it's and that's again i think it's a really it's a shame it's a measure of last resort. but that's the only way to get the demand for education. fantastic one. interesting is on wednesday, the for education and the schools inspector body they also on strike. so of teachers are part of a bigger picture of you know we've got barristers last year we've got ambulance workers doctors nurses so it's not just teachers i think there's a national issue right now. again, economic issues mean that it will be tight defined the payment but it's a national issue . well you see it as ever issue. well you see it as ever and always a pleasure to talk to you. bobby, thanks for finding time for us this afternoon and do agree or disagree with the great bobby seagull us mary email us gb views at gb n

we understood that the sword of damocles was hanging over our security, we gradually say this ourselves it. well, that means they didn't invent the atlantic council. today i repeat. i always said that. i remember with pleasure all my performances here you have others. i say the communist party of the russian federation tells you that you are embracing with these natoptsy, that you are kissing with these partners, as you call them, they are waiting. when we look what they were doing in chechnya look what they are doing now. see how they are taking over our infrastructure, how they are having fun. so, they take oil and gas. whether it's nickel or others, how they make us disarm now it's coming true. well, i'm sad that there at one time they didn't listen to us there, even in the fourteenth. yes, here we are, from the fourteenth year, we the communist party began to send humanitarian supplies from the fourteenth year. yes 103 convoy 16,000 tons. i am proud of my comrades who they do it. here is every month. we make tens of thousands of gifts. we ’ll send it there now, but what’s the matter

there's doubt that the book and the documentary series have been like a sword of damocles hanging over family that i witnessed, i'm afraid, in the 90 years a highly dysfunctional family as far as harry and meghan, certainly concerned. and that's we saw in the nineties and it does the reputation of . you said it isn't reputation of. you said it isn't called a royal family but nothing the royal family was to be really a model family in george the sixties time he used to about we for george was it's queen elizabeth queen mother as we knew her and the two young princesses this is what a little fam should look like. and it's all happiness skipping through the fields . well, it was never the fields. well, it was never really like that and it certainly wasn't like that in the nineties with charles diana. and it's not been like that in recent years . harry and meghan recent years. harry and meghan and prince andrew . and then and prince andrew. and then there it goes in forlani you there was it goes in forlani you remember that one for lady susan that sort of damaged the royal family initially

this sort of literary damocles dangles over the head of the royals next week.ndeed i am looking at harry that and thinking he is incredibly damaged and wondering whether or not actually in each bit how. well, i'm sure if he hasn't had access to health throughout life, what chance do the rest us have? one thing i will give him here, he's made it kind of okay to talk about mental health issues . that's mental health issues. that's a good thing. and i to say that if he was a spare hour at first, he seemed to be making a very good of it. he was loved. huge popular. and of course, he's in afghanistan . he had his afghanistan. he had his charities out in africa and of course, the invictus games was a great jewel in the royal crown. he seems to forgotten what he was capable doing and what we all hoped it on doing. and now we have this book which apparently , according to leaks apparently, according to leaks from , the sussex side is too from, the sussex side is too hard on king charles third, but is going to be very tough reading for brother william and yes, for willi
