Witnesses describe what they saw. I saw the. Attacker running into various bars and restaurants on a burst whole shes very scary she was in the. People running and screaming. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. Voting is now under way in almost all u. S. States and what is expected to be the most divisive election in the countrys modern history and right now we can show you live pictures from a polling station in texas it doesnt look like thats houston which of course opened its doors a couple of hours ago 4 years ago donald trump won the Lone Star State by a comfortable margin but this time its seen as. As a key battleground at the democratic nominee trailing by just one percentage point. And a sign of growing anxiety Business Owners are boarding up their windows preparing for the worst there are widespread fears of a disputed result with some Security Experts predicting street riots in washington d. C. Many offices and stores have been boarded up been stolen reports from the capital. This is the scene all across Downtown Washington d. C. From the white house fanning out for miles if you have a shop or a business its getting boarded up that is what is happening across the city and its basically every business this is a Wells Fargo Bank but were talking banks were talking restaurants were talking Office Buildings if it has glass windows or glass doors it seems like there is plywood going up over it there are dozens of these crews all around Downtown Washington d. C. Putting up why would you need to supply a shot of what well in intice a patient of violent protests as a result of selection now going into a couple of these businesses and ask the store owners and the shopkeepers what are you guys expecting why are you boarding up now keep in mind most of these folks dont own these buildings are owned by landlords but theyre telling me they are boarding up in anticipation of in their words quote whatever happens in anticipation of whatever happens now keep in mind we have in this country 200 years plus of peaceful transition of power that takes place so this is a very unusual sight to see that during a u. S. President ial election that washington d. C. Would literally be boarded up in anticipation of possible violence but of course the other question thats coming up here does this become the new normal the new normal of when there is a president ial election buildings board up in anticipation of protests against whatever the outcome might ultimately be i did talk to one store owner who is a Liquor Store Owner he told me that during the George Floyd Protests his business was broken into his windows were smashed so hes putting up the boards himself most of this work is being done by professional crews but i did ask him what do you think any of this has to do with the election and he said your guess is as good as mine over at the white house there is another set of precautions being put up so aside from the plywood being designed to stop protesters and unscalable fence thats what its being called unscalable fence has been set up here at the white house to protect the president and the white house from any protesters who may try to get over this initial fencing and the multiple layers of security what makes this fence different than these others is actually made of mesh and. There is no room for fingers or toes to be able to climb up it by the way some media organizations have been mislabeled in it claiming its a white fence on the other side of the white house made of wood it is not it is this mesh fence that has been confirmed for us by the secret Service Today the big question surrounding all this really comes down to the question of is this is the new normal for elections hard to believe but with more than 200 years of peaceful transitions of power were now talking about possible massive protests on the night of Election Night and again new layers of security at the white house its also about what happens in the next 4 years 8 years and into the future. Much of the country is still reeling from the shock of race riots over the summer a wave of looting and then it was and put some people out of business. Your. And in new york city a luxurious Apartment Building is reportedly hiring armed guards for election day its more on the atmosphere theyre here scaled often. Well at this point weve had polls open already for several hours here in new york and tensions are certainly high at this point weve got police on patrol there is talk of protests happening if the results of the elections dont go a certain way multiple groups are already calling for protests now its also important to note that gun sales have been at record high throughout the United States guns are flying off the shelves and being sold out on the west coast in los angeles one particular gun store had people lined up to purchase firearms the day before the election we were actually able to speak with the Gun Store Owner out near los angeles this is what he had to say this or our 1st time purchasing is probably 50 percent about half of the people that come into our shop are 1st time buyers and thats a big deal you know they fear the worst to come after you do you like and the way that people are going to do you know riots and stuff like that after the election i think its going to get probably even worse you know and people once they start breaking down houses and the mobs get bigger you got to be able to protect yourself and theres a lot of people getting whatever they can in their hands within both camps weve heard indications that the candidates may not concede that certainly has people on edge but amid the divisions in the country out do americans really know solid differences between the 2 candidates for a lot of progressives it seems like voting for biden is just a way to vote against donald trump so we actually took to the streets here in new york and asked new yorkers if they could name differences between joe biden and donald trump the 2 major candidates here is what we heard. Very little. From from the other 3 different experience. For her. So you just like the work so if you want your car to be seen as opposed. To. Really. Its. Going to say don trump but it could be riding now at this point weve got record high gun sales weve got talk of protests coming up and many store owners and individuals around the country kind of bracing for protests in the aftermath of the election weve got a lot of us and them rhetoric coming from supporters of both sides this point many fear that this election the results of it could escalate into some kind of very big explosion here in the United States. At least 100000000 americans have already made their choice using in person early voting and mail and ballots i figure is twice as high as in the last election is over half of the ballots were posted that may prolong the overall vote count both president ial candidates hinting that they may not give up unless the results are crystal clear. Looks at how events could unfold. You could say im split over how things will pay out often of empathy on one hand as the positive me full of hope and then another as the cynical me when we really dont agree almost because youre so negative and lectionary would be a fresh start slainte to the problems of the prosecutors wiped away america will be reborn i just cannot believe we are and have a month into 2020 and youve got nothing left of you know the vote counting could drag out for weeks to get confetti and balloons on Election Night this thing could end up in Supreme Court now it will be 10 sure but i have faith in humanity until the final time is unknown people will stay calm i believe good not as on civility will prevail what like you believed in the polls in 2016 police civil have you been following that campaigns this is not a political Statement Like those ugly folks over there raping a whore and stupid people and biden says stupid person you know that youre not going to write it we dont do things like go chumps out there with a microphone or do in a truck guys he was a good Vice President because he understood how they Barack Obamas and look name calling is just part of positive politics now but its pretty harmless so using the name calling. What else is that ok well lets just imagine byte and wins and trunk and see what is this amateur hour using this guy will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer of power after the election to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges will concede never know if biden wins republicans will cry foul say its both a fuld theres going to be fraud its a disaster because the only way were going to lose this election is if the election is rigged to remember the button or chip why. Drown out these voices dont call me be explained to them the voter fraud is fake news so they can use that to data despise the result was enough to come up with Something Else like what george soros could 100 democrat votes george soros the locked out a shady plan to ruin the economy and take down trump george soros and he felt that you got to make good the state of california has been rigging and cheating every election there by the democrats and george soros by anti for will riot regardless of who wins they dont believe in elections and guess what after november 3rd coronavirus will magically all the sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able reopen and dont think itll be any better if trump wins no no losing to him back in 2016 was one thing but can you imagine how angry the democrats will be when they realize they can even be in the middle of a pandemic and an economic recession much dies. Everyone call an age theyll be fighting on the streets fighting turn exaggerate its not going to come to that oh yes because that would be very out of towner ekta. How many see how dung sells a through the roof and shops aboard it ill just a precaution most shore and the National Guards on standby just for fun ill start fair mongering you know at the end of the day america is an exceptional country with exceptional politicians they will meet by example yeah youd think so wouldnt you joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out i feel very confident that joe biden will be elected president on tuesday. Whenever the and count is ha i mean i know that but its still sore about musing back in 2016 but if the americans have chosen theyve chosen the democrats will have no one to blame but themselves its like you dont even watch the news a. B. C. News learning that a warning about russian dirty tricks was polled 2 days before it was set to go out to Law Enforcement intelligence officials were briefed members of the House Intelligence Committee that russia is interfering in the election with the hope of getting the president President Trump reelected but surely they dont think people are so stupid that the output of foreign interference one trumps the election twice but i think im just going to have to get over it for it using im just going to allow the will of the American People be put into action what is this a democracy. We can now bring in live journalist daniel those are from new york now weve been seeing pictures from new york of businesses boarding up their windows we were reporting earlier about an Apartment Building hiring security guards whats the general feeling there. Well the general feeling is that no one knows whats going to happen i mean i was prepared for the worst trump has made it clear that you all challenge the results. Legally in the courts and the democrats will respond in kind so if this thing could drag out for a long time the longer it drags out the more things the greater the chance that things will break down the streets as some kind of disorders war will break out. No one knows really but the important thing to bear in mind is that this is a 230 year old system that has never been updated it dates from the days of louis the 16th and castor of the great and it is never been overhauled there are 10500 independent electoral districts they are all on their own their competence varies wildly and no one knows how they will perform on on what you know on election day its a recipe for disaster for chaos and thats where a lot of people are bracing for theres also a lot of speculation about what could happen if trump takes an early lead in tries to stop the vote count is there any chance of that happening although he has already called for called in today for friends and fox and friends excuse me saying that he will only declare victory when there is victory saying theres no reason to play games but can we trust that. If its wide open no one knows i mean im sure im very could very easily could appear to be the winner on the basis of the of the votes cast thus far as of this evening but there all the billions of absentee ballots waiting to be counted were going to affect the total and trump may very well very well try to cut short the accounting no one knows what happened in florida in 2000 when a republican mob essentially interrupted the the vote count in miami forcing the issue on to the Supreme Court which then decided in favor of the republicans so everyone is bracing bracing themselves now for 2 many floridas in 21 a and we could see the same scenario happening again i mean 3 Media Coverage has largely favored by now how much of an impact could that have on the contest. Its on its unclear i mean im america is ruled by the chattering classes the top 10 percent which control the media the broadcast news the universities the polling operations that are and the rest of the population is often afraid to speak up so we really have no idea what what the mass of americans think and whether the incessant anti trump propaganda that we see in the Mainstream Media will have in that have an impact or not we just dont know that there really is a silent majority out there we dont know what theyre thinking we dont know who they will go for and we have no idea what effect this prop propaganda barrage will have journalist and author daniel as our thank you for joining us on our u. S. Special coverage election thank you. Tech giants and social media are seen as key players in the 2020 alexion im Donald Trumps personal lawyer thinks theyre far from neutral Rudy Giuliani spoke tartly. Trump has threatened to say to twitter rather than be regarded as a platform it is a publisher if it is if it is a bit like you do that except the Democratic Congress would never pass that who how much money do you think of her. Twitter how much money do you think they give to the democrats hundreds of millions enough funding of tax and other things they own the Democratic Party thats why theyre doing they dont do many censorship its favor of chop the censorship is against trump and to lead to guide they control joe but we will if by doesnt like it we will be subjected to this censorship for the next 4 years because theyre in league that get the reason they despise trump is because trump basically tells them to go to hell hes not to hes not going to let them run this country they eat wasnt elected he has lost contributors because of this he says that contributors come to him and say why did you just go easier on the beach at companies and hes basically sort of out of this office i mean the reality is that big check the big media this is the 1st president they can push around because basically big jack and big media is is what he says to the enemy of the people when you deprive the American People of critical information about a president ial election youre really not a journalist is some kind of political hack giuliani also repeated to our take claims of corrupt dealings by joe biden and his son hunter biden denies any wrongdoing and the claims have not been proven also social media giants have repeatedly denied republican claims of bias and center ship. The crossfire not political commentator Jonathan Fryer now as you heard in that interview Rudy Giuliani claims facebook and twitter own the democrats and are actively engaged in censorship against what he make of that i think its quite ironic that giuliani on principle is criticizing tritter is specially given the fact that trump really is the 1st wow thats true term president he communicates through these millions of followers and get sound hes on message is very strong going on 2980 through facebook and what theyre objecting to that of course is the fact that when facebook and twitter recently have public pressure dean introducing much more Fact Checking trump has fallen foul of this think on some of the things that hes been tweeting have been blatantly untrue that all have been removed and thats why giuliani is so upset because in fact lies have been taken down. Said he could launch a legal action to prevent a drawn out vote count and theres speculation think a prematurely declare victory is something that hes hinted at himself do you think he could really go that far. I think as your previous contributor said if the election count today of the votes done in person today shows that trump is in the lead just quite possible then hed be very tempted to declare that premise you know a victory we have to remember that democrats in general have been voting by post and in advance voting in a 100000000 has done so mainly democrats once republicans seem to be voting on the day so its hard to nike he would he had to be in the lead but he will be challenged community not only by some people in the administration who would worry if the president tries to interrupt the democratic process with a fair result but also if it does of course johnsons green coat and even that despite its new conservative majority and hans consent of a majority i think there will be great resistance that here of course in the u. K. And a recent poll found that not one single british constituency would support if they could vote in the us are people over there feeling about the prospect of another 4 years of trump in the white house. Well its certainly true with some notable exceptions including the Prime Minister bar is johnson and nigel farage of the formerly briggs it party now and not down reform party great Trump Supporters but most people have a frankly horrified by many of trumps ideas and rules by many of his Campaign Policies just take for example the issue of gun control and trump has been making a huge amount of play on this in the election saying that biden wants to take away your guns most britons would say good for biden because we have horrified by the idea of a country where people have often several guns and you seem to use guns with extraordinary. Common sauce which is absolute absolutely unacceptable from a british point of view. Well and the conservative government in the u. K. Has tried to foster a close relationship with the Trump Administration as you were touching on there so how can Transatlantic Relations change by the way. Well if think it is going to do a little more difficult that we have to remember of course that trump was very much in support of brags that britain leaving the European Union which is now happened and that there was an obvious our life of Boris Johnson but behind the scenes the conservative party which runs a government in london now is basically reaching out to the by as well discreetly because they realize and have to deal with whoever does win and i think we will welcome in britain and by that i mean the Political Class that biden is much more likely to make america take its International Responsibility as its noble responsibilities more seriously because trump has been something of an isolationist and so in that sense biden would be an advance. Weve been speaking with political commentator delavan fryer thank you for your time and your comments.
