national national security agency calculated that somewhere in the month that remains, gdp can decrease by 2%. it is precisely because of those disconnections, because of those layoffs, well you include the whole economy, it is clear that there are fewer, fewer hours for that, well, production, accordingly, some of these windows have to arrange night shifts, and so on and so on, and so on, to maintain volumes, well, in a word, this is a huge challenge for the entire country. well, but uh, well, he - this has a smaller, much, much smaller effect than the russians usually hoped, the so-called, let's call it, that the muscovites recommended themselves to each other, a secret that we don't make of that. but that's it. this is not the factor that will bring them help exactly in this war - it is something here can behave with a sniper. by the way, they say that this is only for the army, it does not affect the ukrainian one, but it also makes ukrainian fighters more angry and motivated, because of the cotton that blooms despite the fact that it is winter outside. what blooms in the crimea and how much does it affect those russians who have chosen crimea as their home and say that there they were mentally eskanderbered by the head of the crimean tatar resource center by the members of the mechlis of the crimean tatar people. glory to the heroes as the mood of the russians, those who occupied the crimea after the cotton well, as far as i have information, as much as our activists provide us, and first of all, their mood changed a lot after the liberation of kherson and to the fact that the cotton and the occupation media are continuing now and vsyachynsky is informed that this is the work of the russian air defense forces , i.e. they protect the sky and other things, but why do i say that the mood has changed if if earlier we were in the studio and you and i also talked about what when there were cotton when there were explosions on novo andryu at the vafeodar airfield, eh, in the simferopol district, at the airfield, they then conducted such an intensive and active information campaign , and then they but all these explosions that took place at military units or at military facilities, they banned them. and what were our activists observing earlier they constantly talked about the fact that the okupa, that the russians are military and will protect them, that the russian army is powerful, so now they are either silent or already starting to talk to each other about how to go vakuira and evacuate from crimea that is, they are talking about whether they need to evacuate now or there later. and that's why we answer that as soon as they evacuate, it will be better because for now there is a crimean bridge, they need to liberate crimea, they need to leave and more about that than they start talking about themselves in the name of russian citizens who came to crimea illegally, that is, they don't have arrogance now, leonid, they don't have confidence now, that is, they talk about it more with each other. crimean and eh that's why they don't like us very much - earlier they themselves provoked more until they themselves tried to talk about the sweat of treasures now as of yesterday because of this many of our activists say that they are in such a stupor or there shoes, let's say so, and is there any kind of mobilization taking place or continuing and whether people succeed who do not want to fight on the side of russia, uh, avoid this mobilization, yes, really. i want to remind you that from november 1st, they announced a conscription for the autumn cut in their plans to conscript 2.5 thousand crimeans, the mobilization continues, that is, than taking into account the fact that there were public statements that the partial so-called partial mobilization has ended, but there is no a-a on the normative legal act, and therefore they continue the mobilization, but this is the mobilization. i would say it is more slow or not very active, but it is happening to us they provide information that they provide subpoenas and a-and besides , just the other day er-e sheremet, this criminal who actively participated a-and created the so-called crimean self-defense defense in 2014. now he is a member of the state duma of the russian federation, now he publicly stated that it is necessary to increase the length of service for the island team to two years in order to prepare more for the armed forces of the russian federation. and when we talk about the mobilization of on our part , we are doing everything to better inform our compatriots, first of all, that this is a crime and participation in the russian army. and this is a crime against humanity. могилизация we are also developing visual content, informational content, then we provide information on what to do if you find yourself in the ranks of the russian army, and next, we are currently collecting information about those who participate in the organization of mobilization, that is, participation in mobilization commissions, for example, these distributes and distributes banners, and among them not only there are representatives of the national example, or military workers, employees of military commissariats , including deputies of local councils, school teachers, school directors, that is, doctors who provide uh-e statements about the state of health, that's why we have now already started to publish uh-uh lists of these people, we have started to warn all of them that we are recording and all these lists will be submitted to the prosecutor's office and other content bodies of ukraine and will open up about them as for carr's case, they will also be included in the sanctions lists so that they, when you enter the borders of the russian federation, and we are also calling on all our activists, residents of crimea, residents of crimea, to inform us more about these people and therefore i i think i should continue this company because it is also necessary from our side to do everything so that people who are trying to involve in these crimes ignore or refuse to participate in such actions mr. eskander, please tell me, now in

and that's why yes the secretary of the national security and national security and national security agencyhing correctly that the war can end in a different way and not only through negotiation than by the warring parties, and if we allow a little memory, in may 14 of the year, i had the opportunity to talk with the deputy of the department for relations with eastern europe of the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, and then everything was a few weeks after that. if he was captured by the slavic police department, ah, i directly asked the question, germany will supply ukraine with weapons in order to carry out an attack on russia, an attack on russia, it was a russian attack, the answer was no, we will never supply you. this is your position, i say as the situation you have. this is the position of the chancellor , that is, the participation of the 14th year. time did not happen. they wanted to force us to peace. and we, in turn. to a large extent and by the united state by the way, especially before the administration of the woman, we managed one way or another, but it is not a

national security threat. we're in the bizarre circumstance where the national security agencies of countries like the u.s. people being radicalized by political leaders like donald trump or like the afd in germany. that's where we are right now. the democracies have to recognize what that german lawmaker said. it's a threat to constitutional democracy. it's going to be around for a while. we have to defend those values in our own communities. frankly, inlooking at social media and the spread of the theories, not as a political issue, but as a public health and safety issue. >> right. katty, when you lay it out and you put the -- line up the two sides, ben alluded to the russian element of this, russia has been fanning the flames of january 6, even beat tucker carlson. you have the alignment between the russian disinformation and the mission to divide. which side is winning in your view? >> look, i mean, it's a really toxic mix on the other side. the mid-term elections here in the united states were actually an indication that sanity and rejection of far right ideals is winning certainly in this country. i

national intelligence agency, reportedly has links to a previous or authoritarian regime in the south american country, including a convicted death squad organizer. the security chief had said mass protests, which bring the nation, are essentially a terrorist insurrection. if you want to address the events that are seen as a social conflict, we are in total error here. there are no social conflicts in each place where the police and the armed forces are attacked. there is a political objective and that is called a terrorist insurgence. for more than 20 people have been reported to kill recently as muff demonstrations turn violent and clashes with police broke. and protesters helping, calling for the newly installed president to resign. the previous incumbent was taken into custody following his attempt to dissolve parliament. and essentially lead by decree, approved government has made some concessions to the protesters including saying that fresh elections will be held ahead of schedule. a local activists centers this report from the streets of lead. right now said only facing a very of emergency. we have a military civic government right now by the nova, you updated that in alliance with the armed forces. i b

national security priorities in this omnibus. $65 million increase for the united nations relief and works agency, which for those of you who don't know, produces materials promoting terrorism and anti-sesmtism. ash ash anti-semitism. let's talk about the u.n.'s commission of inquiry. i had an amendment in state and foreign ops to make sure no u.s. taxpayer dollars went to the commission of inquiry on israel. which does more than harass israeli allies and harasses the only jewish majority state in the world. yet that amendment that i had was stripped out of this omnibus. this also allows the u.s. to continue to cooperate with the international criminal court which is deeply flawed. as a former j.a.g. i can tell you that court is incredibly unfair to u.s. service members as well as israel. this also underfunds foreign military financing requests from egypt and taiwan. so we give billions of dollars to ukraine, zero accountability for where those funds are going, no oversight on that. our allies in taiwan and equipped underfunded. for more on this omnibus to talk about it, i yield two minutes to my good friend from tennessee, tim b

in forming a new inter agency group to develop natural national strategy to confront and combat at the summit as a. it's led by the white house domestic policy and national securityand lawmakers to pushback on hate. and thank goodness for that. because historians will tell you, antisemitism is often a precursor to broader faults of political violence and instability. which we also saw quite a bit of this year. from the hiring attack on paul pelosi by deranged man wielding a hammer. to the far-right campaign to rally against the man now convicted of plotting to kidnap michigan governor -- and the torrent of threats often doused in racism, sexism, and homophobia, and directed at lawmakers across the country. let's make one thing clear, it's up to all of us to reject this. and to speak out against bigotry. because hate and conspiracy will grow when left unchallenged. and soon, it won't be just jewish americans under threat. but the lgbtq community, people of color, women. and the lawmakers who seek to protect them. and ultimately, possibly, the very system itself. second gentlemen dog am off has been becoming the face of the white house fight against antisemitism. h
