RTL Matin of war, for going to tour a film on the ground at Tatal. Ah non, you wanted to say at Total? No, at Tatal, alias Chantal, prostituée au Bois de Vincennes, where the price to the pump has doubled since the last week. Pardon, but how do you know it? My little turlute of the dimanche is passing from 50 to 100 euros. And no matter, the images that we have filmed are excellent. And after my film Slava Ukraine, I'll soon be able to start Slava Faire Cher la Pipe, in exclusivity on YouPorn and XHamster. Inquiet by the price of the carbon, the Minister of the Economy, Roland Lescure, asked the European Commission to inquéter on the marges of the raffineries, which gave to John-Pierre Foucault the idea of a new one inédit of his famous show, Who veut gagner des millions ? Good evening to all and welcome to Who Vest Gagner des Millions with today? Muriel, responsable of the communication of Total Energy. Bonjour Muriel Bonjour Jean You are ready I am ready Jean She comes loin Muriel Oui elle vient du Sud Et c donc la question La guerre en Iran est une bonne occasion de questionner notre dépendance énergétique au pétrole ? Réponse A. De repenser notre action diplomatique au Proche-Orient ? Réponse B. De se faire un max de pognon sur le dos de ces pigeons de français ? Réponse C. It's super easy, the answer is C. Since the beginning of the war, we have doubled our benefits. C'est gagné ! Bravo Muriel, you have still gained a million. And we'll meet tomorrow with a exceptional number, with Jean-Marc Morandini, for Who veut gagner des millions ? You don't have a honte. Alors, la chaîne d'information CNews fait face à plusieurs polémiques et à plusieurs avertissements de l'ARCOM suite aux propos tenus par certains de ses chroniqueurs. On en parle avec son animateur vedette. Bonjour Pascal Praud. Bonjour. CNews est accusé de tenir des propos litigieux sur les mairies conquises par LFI. Mais est-ce la faute de CNews si les mères et les filles veulent rendre obligatoire le port de la barbe pour les enfants dès le CM2 ? I pose the question to the Arcom. Well, attention, Pascal, because that's typically the kind of words that we reproach to CNews. We don't know, because we are the only ones to ask if Bali Bagayoko, the mayor and the Filles of Saint-Denis, will make every Friday the year of Black Friday. Oh, no. But the Arcom doesn't talk. Well, I see that you don't want to leave you impressed by the sanctions. In terms of sanctions, what would you think of the project of the Mairies and the Filles de sanctionner les policiers qui perturbent le travail des honn dealers Encore une question pour l Eh bien Impossible de l le retour sur sc on C Dion has put in a moat all his fans in the world four corners A tourn that you know RTL is part of it RTL, hello, I adore RTL! RTL! But Gilbert Montagnier we joined, but... I thought it was a boyer, Lila. I thought it was your chien, how he called it? Libby. Libby the moche. What's that we owe the honor of this visit impromptu Gilbert ? We'll have to get it. There's my CD. He's out. We'll be able to buy it. In the drugstore and the supermarkets. And for listening, on the beach. There's my CD. Yes, of course. Dear Gilbert Montagnier, don't be jealous of Céline Dion. On l'a annoncé. you just released a new album it's called L'amour sans les mains yes I want to talk about it I want to talk about it but without the mains it's really complicated it's not easy to try to talk about it I want to talk about it we've got to talk about it we've got to talk about it RTL is partner from the future concert of Céline Dion the autumn next to Paris hello Céline hello I want to talk about it Hello, you are the radio partner of our grand retour. I'm so happy to participate in this promotion promotion with you. It's a great fear. I don't have a fear of not being at the height. I have the track there. I have the track. But you, the track? For a simple promotion promotion? You have played in the most great room. But just a lot. In the great room, the first round is at 10 meters of the scene. And the public is a little abstract but in the case of this beautiful day promo RTL Olivier Davers your journalist he wants to bring with him to the intermarch of the Garenne for animating a delicious delicious sausage on the cochonet. I don't know if I want to be at the hotel. It's true that he likes a lot of great surfaces. I'm a great surface. You're not obligated to accept it, Céline. Rassure-you. Ah bon? Ça me rassure, ça me fait peur. Mais c'est pas le tout. Si j'ai le trac, c'est aussi parce que Laurent Ruquier m'a demandé de venir raconter des blagues dans votre show de l'après-midi, dans les grosses tracques. Oui. Il m'a donné les textes, mais je peux pas dire ça. Écoutez, melon et me lèche vont à la pêche. Melon pêche le thon et me lèche la réosse. C'est une colline. Mais si je dis ça, je vais passer pour une dévergondée qu'elle fait au castor. C'est vraiment pas bon pour mon image. I love you, Céline. But don't do anything. Nothing is obligatory. You know, it's just that our animators are very happy to be with us today. Ah, really? I'm so happy. That means I'm not obligated to participate to the show of Julian Courbet? Of course not. But what did he ask, Julian, of doing? Of phone to a hardware of Pedalo who doesn't want to send his client who's found in Hollow after having a roger on the lake of Vincennes. This maudit Julia Courbet voulait me faire chanter My heart will go out La chanson du Titanic pour obtenir le remboursement Mais tabernacle Avec la carrière que j'ai, je mérite quand même mieux que ça, c'est pas possible Merci beaucoup C'est toujours un plaisir de vous avoir Tellement content Bonjour c'est Jade, ce podcast vous a plu ?
