0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the assassination attempt on Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fizzo. |
0:09.0 | We're a couple of days removed from when this incident occurred. |
0:15.9 | The reports are that he's going to make it through, but I would imagine he's not going to be the |
0:24.9 | same. I mean, I've read a lot of analysis and reports saying that this is going to be a very |
0:31.3 | difficult thing for him to overcome this type of tragedy, a shooting to, from what I understand, to his abdomen, and turmoil in |
0:44.2 | Slovakia as well. And the UK media, especially the UK media and the US media to a certain |
0:53.3 | extent, were in a way rejoicing, I guess, |
0:59.6 | saying that he deserved it to a certain extent, a really, really disgusting crazy comments and |
1:07.5 | analysis coming from some collective West outlets. |
1:11.6 | What do you make of this entire incident? |
1:14.6 | Well, if I can just talk about the British media briefly, |

1:36.1 | that he's a populist, that he's a friend of Putin, that he's pro-Russian. He's none of those |
1:40.9 | things, by the way. He's the leader of the Slovak left, but of course this is an old guard's social democratic type left, which the left in Britain and elsewhere no longer is. And that makes them hate him even more, even the left-wing people in Britain, you know, the leaders there. |
2:02.5 | And of course, he's not a friend of Putin or a friend of Russia. He's a Slovak patron who wants |
2:10.8 | the best to be his country. I mean, I think that ought to be uncontroversial and most Slovaks agree with him, which is why he's |
2:22.8 | been Prime Minister of Slovakia for 11 out of the last 18 years and has done a good job |
2:29.5 | by all accounts. Slovakia, the poorer part of the former Czechoslovakia, has been economically |
2:37.9 | successful during the time that FISA has been running things. And why they've just re-elected |
