0:24
Wednesday, May 8th. When the defense
0:26
wants a mistrial because of you, you know
0:28
you've struck a nerve. We start here. Stormy
0:33
Daniels takes the stand against former
0:35
President Trump. They were a bit gross.
0:37
For all the details of a lewd
0:40
liaison, how much damage did this do?
0:43
President Biden makes a plea on behalf
0:45
of American Jews. There's no place on
0:47
any campus in America, any
0:50
place in America, for anti-Semitism or
0:52
hate speech or threats of violence
0:54
of any kind. As Israel begins
0:56
its incursion into Rafa, the U.S.
0:58
has taken a dramatic step in
1:00
response, and TikTok claps back. This
1:02
has become an issue of nationalism and patriotism
1:04
as well. They're not going to let go
1:07
of this easily. Why the social media
1:09
company says it can't be sold even if
1:11
it wanted to. From
1:14
ABC News, this is Start Here. I'm
1:17
Brad Milkey. At
1:26
the heart of the case, the people of New York
1:28
vs. Donald Trump is a story that Trump
1:30
never wanted out there. Remember, in the weeks
1:32
leading into the 2016 presidential
1:34
election, an old outtake from Access Hollywood
1:36
had emerged. I want to use some
1:39
TikToks just in case they start kissing.
1:41
This graphic conversation recorded in 2005 and
1:44
obtained by the Washington Post captures
1:46
Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women.
1:48
Grab them by the f***. I
1:52
can do anything. This became a
1:55
campaign crisis that October. Trump
1:57
was deemed toxic to women, to values
1:59
voters. Lawmakers were begging him
2:01
to drop out of the race. I've
2:03
said and done things I regret and
2:05
the words released today on this more
2:08
than a decade old video or one
2:10
of them. As all this was unfolding
2:12
behind the scenes, another story is being
2:14
floated the tabloids. a story that trump
2:16
at one time. And a sexual
2:18
encounter with a porn. Star and actress
2:20
going by the name of Stormy
2:22
Daniels Daniels and that's getting a
2:24
hundred thirty thousand dollars to not
2:26
say anything about this. No one's
2:28
denying and payment was made. Disagreements
2:30
or stories, but only two people
2:32
really know if that story was
2:35
true To begin with Yesterday, one
2:37
of them was at the defense
2:39
table accused of falsifying election finance
2:41
documents school. the other was called
2:43
to the stand service. Testimony from
2:45
Stormy Daniels was not as compelling.
2:47
He was graphic. It was intimate.
2:49
It was. Undoubtedly embarrassing and it could
2:51
have profound implications for this case. Strictly
2:53
with A B C C legal analysts
2:55
and Abrams and as discussed was so
2:57
quick to the point where I feel
2:59
like we should warn people it's service
3:01
was allegedly a consensual affair, but I'm
3:03
just say my gifts it grossed out
3:05
your get kids in the car some
3:07
he can skip ahead a couple minutes
3:09
of what was alleged here by Stormy
3:11
Daniels, so we gotta have a lot
3:13
of. Details. About.
3:16
What? Stormy Daniel says happened
3:19
between her and Donald Trump.
3:22
I'm about the pajamas that he
3:24
was wearing. About. Exactly what
3:26
he said to her. About
3:28
the sex, What he said
3:30
afterwards, you know they said
3:32
they were a bit gross,
3:35
but it was the heart
3:37
of what. Led. To
3:39
all of this And so the
3:41
reason there was this call for
3:43
a mistrial. In. Part was
3:45
the amount of detail that
3:47
she provided. Information.
3:50
That is the defense team
3:52
believes is both I'm are
3:54
necessary and incredibly prejudicial. To
3:57
to Donald Trump. A garage
3:59
is. Wearing a condom right? Lucky when
4:01
it is. Everything was part of us rep
4:03
Brad I didn't know how far you want
4:06
me to go on this, so yes, yes
4:08
they were. That was part of what they
4:10
were talking about. His him not wearing a
4:12
condom said that's the kind of detail. That.
4:15
That they were talking about
4:17
i'm you know and what
4:19
position the sex was in
4:22
and and so the the
4:24
explanation from the prosecutors would
4:26
be that the details just
4:28
show you how credible. See.
4:31
Is when she describes exactly what
4:33
the room looked like. What he
4:35
said up a playful moment that
4:37
they had where he has of
4:40
a magazine with himself on the
4:42
cover and she says she's gonna
4:44
spank him with that and she
4:46
does arms So it was incredibly.
4:49
Interesting. But.
4:51
One. Could argue know that relevant to
4:54
the fundamental questions as legal matters in
4:56
the case. Wait, that's it. the issue
4:58
rate. Because it's like he's not being
5:01
charged with having an affair, His that
5:03
even being charged with making a hush
5:05
money payment. Those until he does, he's
5:08
been charged with falsifying documents about the
5:10
hush money. So why does anyone even
5:12
need to hear about the alleged encounter
5:14
right? I'd say for two reasons. First
5:17
of all, because. If he was
5:19
doing it. To impact
5:21
the election is one of the
5:23
critical questions, and you know the
5:26
timing of all of this. Sees.
5:28
Involved in the negotiations, right? She
5:31
isn't just therefore the sex, she's
5:33
also their as part of the
5:35
negotiation. for the money. And
5:37
so that's relevant. I think there's
5:40
a second factor here, and that
5:42
is that Donald Trump is denying
5:44
it even happened. If
5:46
Donald Trump had conceded yes,
5:48
we had sex, it was
5:50
consensual, I shouldn't have done
5:52
it. I'm it was a
5:54
mistake. I. Think is that
5:57
point? There would have been an argument to
5:59
say. We really need
6:01
heard to testify about the
6:03
sex. But. Because Donald
6:05
Trump. Is denying it.
6:08
I think it becomes more relevant.
6:11
In. The context of the case
6:13
and so like a credibility
6:15
thing well which is also
6:17
because the prosecution is laying
6:19
the foundation for the circumstances
6:21
surrounding the negotiation. And
6:23
knowing. Whether. It happened
6:26
or not, Is. Irrelevant factor:
6:28
meetings if you believe it
6:30
did not happen right? If
6:32
there's nothing to suggest that
6:35
this ever happened. The
6:37
negotiation over the money I think
6:39
becomes a little bit different now.
6:42
The Trump see may say it
6:44
shouldn't matter rights. It was a
6:46
pay off that he shouldn't have
6:49
had to make. Regardless, he made
6:51
it because this was a nuisance
6:53
they would say. but when the
6:55
the circumstances surrounding the negotiation or
6:58
so relevant. In. Terms of
7:00
his motivations. Was. It. To
7:03
try to impact the election was it
7:05
to try to keep this information out
7:07
because it was so close to the
7:09
election. I do think that detail become
7:11
that much more important. So after extremely
7:13
dangerous gives her direct examination the defense
7:15
comes up in as like you got
7:17
an issue. a mistrial. mysterious tainted from
7:19
here on out. The judge space I
7:22
said no. that's what cross examination as
7:24
force. I mean, how did the offense
7:26
handle quite sounded like they were trying
7:28
to essentially to undermine any credibility? She
7:30
had it all. Looked. At
7:32
I think that there is a
7:34
legitimate argument that she went too far
7:37
in terms of some of what he
7:39
was testify about as m I
7:41
think the judge even recognize that right
7:43
he was saying I I wish
7:45
she hadn't said some of what she
7:48
said, but you know that happens
7:50
in trials I'm so and cross examination
7:52
the. Defense. Is trying
7:54
to show that see really hates
7:57
Donald Trump. And. she'll
7:59
say anything to get
8:01
Donald Trump convicted here. And
8:04
she admitted that she hates Donald
8:06
Trump, but when asked, and so,
8:09
you know, you want to see him go
8:11
to jail, don't you? She
8:13
got, you know, she recognized the trap
8:16
that was being set and
8:18
basically responded that if the jury
8:20
finds him guilty, you know,
8:23
that's the issue. So
8:25
there was a couching of her answers.
8:27
Yes, she admitted
8:30
that she is animus towards Donald Trump, but
8:32
didn't go as far as to say, and
8:34
yes, I'm going to say anything that will
8:36
get him convicted because she's saying, I'm just
8:39
telling the truth. I'm just telling my story.
8:43
Really interesting. And again, we look at all these
8:45
cases on the horizon. None of the other ones
8:47
are going to trial any time soon. In fact,
8:49
when you look at the case about the handling
8:52
of classified documents by former President Trump, a federal
8:54
judge just delayed that trial indefinitely so stakes couldn't
8:56
be higher here in New York. Dan Abrams, thank
8:58
you so much. Sure. Next
9:02
up on Start Here, Israel makes the move
9:04
into Ratha, so is that a fork in
9:06
the road for the U.S.? We're back in

11:14
here. For
11:20
the last several weeks, Israel has been
11:22
ominously warning of a military operation in
11:24
Ratha in the southern part of Gaza.
11:26
Israel says it would start taking land
11:29
there, clearing out any people or infrastructure
11:31
used by Hamas. Yesterday,
11:33
that incursion seemed to begin. These
11:37
really troops began moving into Ratha
11:39
just past the border checkpoint for
11:41
now. Remember, Americans have begged Prime
11:44
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to do
11:46
this, including President Biden himself. Without
11:48
a credible plan, a credible plan
11:50
for ensuring the safety and support
11:53
of more than one million people sheltering there.
11:55
But on the same day yesterday, it was
11:58
Holocaust Remembrance Day, which led to and
12:00
giving a forceful speech on anti-Semitism
12:02
at what's also become an inflection
12:04
point for the world's only Jewish
12:07
state. ABC's chief national correspondent Matt
12:09
Gutman joins us. Matt, first off, Raffa,
12:11
what does this military operation look like at
12:13
this moment? I think compared to
12:16
the start of the war, this appears to
12:18
be limited, right? This is not the shock
12:20
and awe. This is not a massive bombardment
12:22
of Gaza City that we see, and it's
12:24
not the even surrounding of Hanyunas, which is
12:26
the second largest Palestinian city that we saw
12:28
a couple of months back. This seems to
12:30
be more of a pinpoint
12:32
strike. Launch
12:35
from the Karim Shalom area, which was this
12:37
major border crossing through which most
12:40
of the aid was getting into
12:42
Gaza, which Hamas over the
12:44
past couple of days has shelled,
12:46
it was shut down. Israel pushed
12:48
right up against the border crossing
12:50
between Gaza and Egypt. That is
12:52
an absolutely critical lifeline as well.
12:55
There are airstrikes in Raffa. We hear that
12:57
there are dozens of people who are killed,
12:59
scores who have been wounded so far. Our
13:02
understanding is that this was a
13:04
very limited operation designed to cut
13:06
off Hamas' ability to
13:09
smuggle more weapons and funding into Gaza.
13:11
But this is not the big push
13:14
that I think the US has been
13:16
worried about and that Israel has telegraphed
13:18
for the past couple of months, one
13:20
that would require mass evacuation of well
13:22
over a million Palestinians from the very
13:25
southern part of Gaza more to the
13:27
center and west of it. Yeah,
13:30
and we've been told some evacuations have begun, but
13:32
again, so many people there that you'd imagine that
13:34
would take days or weeks. What is
13:36
the reaction from the US government as far as
13:38
this new sort of move in towards Raffa? They're
13:40
not happy about it, and they're not shy about
13:42
making it known at this point. They
13:45
don't support ground operations in Raffa that would put
13:48
the majority or even any of the
13:50
civilians there at any greater risk. They
13:52
have been saying for months now that
13:54
Raffa is a bad idea. They
13:57
have also been saying that they have not
13:59
been presented with plenty of evidence. plans that
14:01
they believe are sufficient for protecting the 1.5
14:03
million Palestinians who are
14:06
living in that enclave. They assume that anywhere between 800,000
14:08
and 1.2 million would evacuate. Israel
14:13
says it has these evacuation
14:15
plans. It says it's setting up
14:17
these humanitarian islands with food and
14:19
water and toilets and hospital
14:21
tents. But apparently the U.S. says
14:23
this is not sufficient. And
14:26
we are seeing for the first time a very
14:28
material reaction from the United
14:30
States. This is not just the president lashing
14:33
out, saying that Israel needs to do more
14:35
to protect civilians, to get
14:37
more humanitarian aid into Gaza. The
14:40
U.S. is hitting Israel where it hurts
14:42
most. We understand that the NSC directed
14:44
the U.S. Air Force not
14:46
to deliver and to suspend the
14:49
delivery of certain munitions to Israel.
14:51
And this is something that very
14:53
senior Israeli officials told me just
14:55
a couple of months back would
14:57
never happen. That the U.S. would
14:59
never prevent the delivery of critical
15:01
munitions to Israel in a time
15:03
of war, in an election year.
15:05
They thought that that would be
15:07
anathema, but it's happening, Brad, and
15:09
it's happening right now. Wow, right. Huge
15:12
inflection point with a war with, what, 34,000
15:14
reported dead in Gaza, still more than 100
15:17
hostages held in Gaza. And I
15:19
mean, regardless of what you think about Israel
15:21
and this conflict right now, doesn't negate the
15:23
fact that anti-Semitic incidents in this country are
15:25
still on the rise. Biden made
15:27
this address yesterday. What were the takeaways from
15:29
these remarks on a day of Holocaust remembrance?
15:32
You know, it's said in Israel and in the
15:34
U.S. that Biden is arguably the
15:36
best friend that Israel and the Jews
15:39
have ever had. He warmly embraced Netanyahu
15:41
just a couple of days after the
15:43
war. He continued that embrace by flooding
15:45
Israel with munitions. And then in the
15:48
months after that, giving Israel political and
15:50
diplomatic cover in the U.N. all
15:52
across Europe, in the world and in the U.S.,
15:55
and now he's enveloping the Jewish
15:57
people In this warm embrace.
16:00
As well identifying with them, saying
16:02
that anti semitism is never okay,
16:04
There is no place on any
16:06
care percent America at a place
16:08
yet America for anti semitism or
16:10
a space for threats of violence
16:12
of any kind. And of course
16:14
again on the same day that
16:17
they suspended munition deliveries to Israel,
16:19
President Biden saying that is one
16:21
has a right to exist that's
16:23
important and that the Us is
16:25
committed to a secure two hundred
16:27
people dying down plan rationalizing, ignoring,
16:30
The horrors of the Holocaust. And
16:34
October seven. And
16:36
put Marshals apologies. Of
16:39
sexual violence to torture and terrorize
16:41
to And there's no doubt that
16:43
Prison Biden is speaking to Many
16:45
Jews were concerned right now. We've
16:49
seen a ferocious surge around a
16:51
summons about America and around the
16:53
world. This
16:56
is propaganda on social media.
16:59
Jews. Forced.
17:01
To keep her. High keepers
17:03
at a baseball hat fucked up Juri
17:06
Stars Hundred and shirts. whether they support
17:08
Israel's policies or not, I think that
17:10
there is palpable fear in many Jewish
17:12
communities across the Us who are seeing
17:14
and experiencing viscerally first hand the sky
17:16
rocketing of anti semitic incidents in this
17:19
country. But you could tell Hump firmly
17:21
biden believe this is really a scourge
17:23
that kind of overtaking the country right
17:25
now. At the same time, we should
17:27
also mention more than eight thousand reports
17:29
and discrimination in he claims against Muslims
17:32
last year. That's the. Highest we've seen in
17:34
more than a decade as well. Some to do
17:36
so much tension and distrust right now are not
17:38
gutman or she's national course been. Thank you Mr.
17:45
President Biden has already signed a law
17:47
that forces Tic Talks parent companies to
17:49
sell the app or face have been
17:51
in the Us member by To Dance
17:53
that parent company is based in China
17:55
yeah the country the can force any
17:57
company with in its borders. The hand.
18:00
Were any data the government wants and
18:02
effectively co op your company in the
18:04
becoming a state enterprise. I can think
18:06
of few better or easier ways as
18:08
by an American citizens are manipulate American
18:10
public opinion. Than to make use
18:12
of a popular app that is used. By.
18:15
Over one hundred million Americans are. This bill
18:17
in the Us is now loss. The only
18:19
thing that would do rail it is if
18:21
it's rescinded or deemed illegal by the courts.
18:24
Were yesterday Tic Toc sued the Us government
18:26
over this. A B C Senior White House
18:28
correspondent Selena Wang has been covering it all.
18:30
Salinas What what is the issue from And
18:32
take talks eyes your what is the argument.
18:35
He out the first bad we knew
18:37
that this was coming to talk has
18:39
been valley Now that they are going
18:41
to fight this as hard as they
18:43
can into ports in Tip Top argues
18:45
that this is not going to work
18:48
because this violates users first Amendment rights
18:50
that it trample over your right to
18:52
free speech. And on top of that
18:54
they say it's actually not possible to
18:56
sell off, it's Us operations They say
18:58
it's not possible commercially, technologically or legally
19:01
city are you in this lawsuit that
19:03
this last centrally will force As set.
19:05
Down a set thoughts and I can
19:07
walk you through each one of those
19:09
various challenges. So first of all, to
19:11
Talk argues that if you make a
19:13
stand alone Us platform that is not
19:16
part of this global app, it's not
19:18
going to work because all of this
19:20
is globally integrated. so divestment means that
19:22
you can't get this international content seamlessly
19:24
available to Us viewers and vice versa.
19:26
And secondly, to Talk says this is
19:28
very complicated coding were talking about here
19:31
and that the code base that underpins
19:33
the app would have to be. Separated
19:35
to a new team of engineers and
19:37
they are You! It would take years
19:39
for this new set of engineers to
19:41
just understand the suit source code and
19:43
do their job. and they say to
19:45
then keep the app functioning. The engineers
19:47
would need access to bite the and
19:49
software which the law bans. On top
19:51
of that did make an argument about
19:53
how the Chinese government has made clear
19:56
it would not allow a divestment. Yet
19:58
and Selena I mean you support it out of
20:00
China for years right? You are based in Beijing.
20:02
I'm is that legit like the China angle of
20:04
the they would never allow this to be sold.
20:06
Do get the sense that is a real thing
20:08
but they would say we will for go the
20:10
American audience rather than let by dance sell this
20:12
two different company. Yeah, well, the Chinese
20:15
government that has made clear that they
20:17
do not want this to be sold.
20:19
In fact, back when Trump tried to
20:21
ban Tic Tacs, the Chinese government actually
20:23
change their own laws that would prohibit
20:25
the sale of sensitive technologies like the
20:27
algorithm that underpins Tic Toc. So that
20:30
algorithm is the reason why Tic Toc
20:32
is so powerful. Light so popular in
20:34
Sticky and Addicted is because of that
20:36
algorithms. And so if you sell the
20:38
app without that algorithm, you're basically just
20:40
selling a shell. It's not going to
20:42
be powerful Voice. And for the Chinese
20:45
government, this is more than just you
20:47
know and app with fun videos. They
20:49
are framing this as another example of
20:51
the Us trying to suppress China's rise,
20:54
try to suppress China's technological abilities. of
20:56
this has become an issue of nationalism
20:58
and patriotism as well. They're not going
21:00
to let go this easily. But that's
21:02
interesting. silly but that doesn't to undercut the if
21:04
if if to talk is saying hey this is
21:06
all about First amendment. Man like you can't do
21:08
this. We're just a private company trying to do
21:10
our thing. By the way, Sign A won't let
21:13
us the essence of bolster the idea from a
21:15
Us to this is a National Security issue. Them.
21:17
Again, actually, Tic Tac has done a number
21:19
of things that sort of come back to
21:21
bite them, including trying to mobilize all of
21:23
the young people who use the At if.
21:25
You have a story about how to talk impose
21:27
your life who love for you to share
21:30
it to show is exactly what we're fighting for.
21:32
Which. We lawmakers think wow, this is
21:34
a really powerful am was what the
21:36
Chinese government could possibly do with this
21:38
huge influential network. So
21:43
low I q so my phone that
21:45
I heard that she does. It's been
21:47
sick. hope. Not
21:53
to mention. Brad as well. That's this
21:55
is hypocritical on the part of
21:57
the Chinese government and China has
21:59
essentially bed every single major for
22:01
and social media app. Think about
22:03
Google, Facebook, you tube Twitter to talk
22:05
even his band with in China
22:07
borders. So to simply do my
22:09
job when I was based in China,
22:11
I to use a virtual private
22:13
network or Vpn to get around
22:15
China's internet firewall. Were in hypocritical from
22:18
China to talk also says it's hypocritical of
22:20
Joe Biden considering his campaign uses Six Hawk
22:22
that they say so damaging here. Upswing: what
22:24
What are the next steps that like if
22:26
you're trying to sell it, how does that
22:28
work Or it you know and how does
22:30
this lawsuit affect everything. Yeah, exactly said.
22:32
To avoid this ban it tick tock. Can
22:34
find a buyer A Us buyer will, then
22:36
they can avoid all of this. But sources
22:39
I've been telling me that he would be
22:41
very, very hard to find a buyer that
22:43
could actually a sport tic toc and complete
22:45
this transactions within a year. In
22:48
fact, some sources have told me that it's
22:51
more likely Tic Toc will try and go
22:53
public that be sold because executives in investors
22:55
of Tic Toc believe that there's no one
22:57
in the market who can afford to buy
22:59
Tic Toc at a fair price. We're talking.
23:01
About tens of billions of dollars.
23:04
Potentially even more than a hundred
23:06
billion dollars. This is an incredibly
23:08
expensive proposition. Unbelievable numbers when you are
23:11
not done so he goes public and all
23:13
of us can own to.including consumers in China
23:15
it any other three are it as the
23:17
lead a way that you so much you
23:19
got it. Brad. They
23:21
want more quick break when we come back somebody
23:23
is fruit salad is about to get a serious
23:26
go up. Will come a pineapple access one less
23:28
thing as next. You're
23:33
a podcast listener and this is a
23:35
podcast that reads great listener like yourself
23:37
with podcast. Hundred
23:41
the top offerings of the North or
23:43
run a reproduced that like this one
23:45
across thousands of cells to reach your
23:47
target audience with lips and add. Those.
23:49
Lips and as.com Now that's
23:51
all I B s y
23:53
an ads.com. The.
23:56
One last thing. It's
23:58
the most to pay for. Goods. Like
24:00
when I'm at the grocery store and
24:02
hunting for sales on strawberries but put
24:04
me at a farmers markets and suddenly
24:06
I'm like oh eight dollars and a
24:08
reasonable the organic lights or few days
24:10
ago Del Monte the agriculture be seen
24:12
as announced the arrival of a new
24:14
type of pineapple called the Ruby Glow.
24:17
Is where the on the outside at
24:20
loss and yellow on the inside and
24:22
it costs nearly four hundred dollars. And
24:25
Zero for Rak, Syria. And Iraq
24:28
and Syria. It's really a special.
24:30
For not making this up, this is
24:32
a regular pineapple created in Costa Rica
24:34
It so Us distributor Melissa's Produce says
24:36
it's smooth, not to stringy, very low
24:38
in acidity. It also comes in a
24:41
fancy box and in some ways this
24:43
is a return to form for the
24:45
pineapple. Back in the day they were
24:47
way more expensive. When
24:49
Christopher Columbus brought some of the first
24:51
pineapples back to Europe, people went mad
24:54
for them. They were so rare and
24:56
coveted that aristocrats would pay the modern
24:58
day equivalent of eight thousand. Bucks for
25:00
them. In England. people would even rent
25:02
a pineapple to put on the table
25:04
for a fancy party. You don't eat
25:06
it dog know you just rented that
25:08
you gave it back. Then you'd see
25:10
it slightly more rotten that your neighbours
25:12
party. Next week some people rented pineapples
25:14
to carry around like rent the runway
25:16
for tropical fruit. The thing that strains
25:18
of course is we now have an
25:20
agricultural system and global supply chain that
25:23
consist keep fruit anywhere would hasn't changed
25:25
is the fact that traders want to
25:27
make money and that wealthy folks will
25:29
pay almost anything for the next novelty
25:31
item. Suddenly does it look beautiful? It
25:33
sees the of of. In
25:36
recent years Del Monte is cultivated
25:38
new pineapple varieties like the Pink
25:40
with flesh, bright pink slip forget
25:42
pineapples. Even researchers at the University
25:44
of Arkansas created a thorn list
25:46
blackberries and last year you see,
25:48
Riverside debuted the new Luna Avocado.
25:50
It was specifically bread to grow
25:52
off smaller trees and a ship
25:54
for easily. It's a reminder that
25:56
nearly every piece of produce you
25:58
wheat is the result. And
26:02
centuries later, the I P R New
26:04
Ones is still worth a windfall. Him
26:06
and he. Was
26:09
also in the last couple years. This new
26:11
had a mini pineapple named the Honey Glow
26:13
which can be easily carried in one hand.
26:15
It's twelve dollars and then it's thirty extra
26:17
dollars to ship like I gotta figure. Had
26:19
cut one of these things more reliably before
26:21
I go by investing and them more know
26:23
the story. the Bbc news.com or the business
26:26
apps and bread looking see them are. Reports
26:41
of you. Let
26:44
this happen or it's just beautiful
26:46
chaos every day flight after the
26:48
cell. Other Topics: Xl of. The
26:50
leading to evolve into the moment moves
26:52
of you year. To be honest I
26:54
was thinking about asking him for foot
26:57
massage and then Isis from This is
26:59
the Best as long as he. And
27:01
you know anything? That
27:04
is what we do here. I'm not gonna
27:06
