A number of states suspicious long wait for results and. Divisions and questions over americas much champion democratic system we asked people on the streets for their reaction. Oh you know. You go. To our. Son he needs to find out what hes fighting for because to resign kind of in this country. Are you watching R T International this saturday the 7th of november which does mean it is now 4 days since the u. S. Election and were still waiting for official results in the. Well despite the white there democratic contender joe biden does say he is on course to beat donald trump although did stop short of declaring victory youll have a final declaration of victory yet but the numbers tell us its clear to us a clear and convincing story were going to win this race ran track to over 300 electoral votes Electoral College votes so this is how the numbers look at the moment biden has the backing of 264. 00 electors if arizona is included although some do say it is too early to call the election there but with that state biden would only need 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270. 00 needed for victory trump has 214 but said it still remains a very tight race with gaps closing in different battleground states on saturday the former Vice President does leave in nevada although the camp there could continue until next thursday and in the state of pennsylvania biden is less than one percent ahead of trump and then in georgia things are very close as well biden leads by nor point one percent practically all of the ballots counted however the margin is so small officials have announced a recount so things look stacked against donald trump however he does claim most civil cases of Election Fraud have taken place and his team has filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and also nevada trump also says he could take legal action all the way to the Supreme Court joe biden should not wrongfully claim the office of president i could make that claim also Legal Proceedings are just now beginning i had such a big lead in all of these states late into Election Night only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by perhaps these leads will return as our Legal Proceedings move forward. If trump does get the Supreme Court to consider his case it would echo the 2000 votes when the court affectively settled the contest election for george w. Bush arties going underground host Afshin Rattansi spoke with trumps impeachment lawyer dr Alan Dershowitz on the president s chances of winning his legal battle. If you lose is the election by losing pennsylvania theres a strong argument that his lawyers d can make that pennsylvania should not count ballots that came in late its a technical argument but its the argument that prevailed in bush versus gore and there are already 3 or 4 justices who agree with that argument but it would take a combination of circumstances during the election to bring that case into a posture where you would win in the court so i think its unlikely he will prevail in the courts but thats his best shot what to the timescale are we talking about would be about a month as it was in 2000 with bush and gore i think well d have a result within weeks not months in pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think from always had in mind the 300 judges that were appointed under his Administration Given that he had already been suspecting vote tampering well i think he there are a lot of reasons why he wanted to appoint lots of judges his base wants conservative judges but i think part of the reason may very well have been as a backstop as a protection in the event that he had to take the election to court any president would think in those terms what do you think the rule of lawyers will be on behalf of trump will you be helping the case or do you see that it will be giuliani and his team who will be defending the Trump Presidency it will be giuliani it is chamber ive known really for a bite in the 30 or 40 d years ive done my duty to the president of the United States of america by defending him against the unconstitutional impeachment charge on this issue im going to just sit back and watch d i have my own podcast or analyze d the case and i will be an observer and a commentator but not a partisan supporters of term say he shouldnt have given that press conference on the night saying the. There is fraud and waited a little bit do you think that will affect any Court Outcome because he was alleging both before it even before the election and of course on the night rather than saying this is the state of play at the moment well wait and see i dont think that kind of statement affects the course that it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believes and i dont think you know any of pack either electorally or judicially. Now ronnys are continuing from both candidates across the u. S. Kind to the east and plains of thought to for all of them have race divisions and even questions about the u. S. System of democracy we get so we got reaction from people in new york. With the whole mess go annoy you know. You got to do what i want better put it people the American People you know just what the book put American People and what the white person is to see thats going to go put the people of america that do trust is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody what fun this country well i think is already proven himself to be a threat to democracy my whole is that we can get past. This all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country theres no 05 at this point even though hes going to be lawsuits which is probably going to delayed the presidency from hes frightened he needs to find out what hes fighting for because there is some kind of fronts in this country so we need to make sure there is full democracy i think it doesnt matter who brings my whole point is that i where are we in that people have freedom job. Maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. Meanwhile the counting of votes in the swing state of nevada is being criticized for taking too long government officials insisted they are putting accuracy over speed in the face of an unprecedented amount of mail in ballots but that hasnt stopped a wave of ridicule online d ringback. So the u. S. Electoral system then is being challenge to the very highest level how in the world has been reacting to uncertainty over americas vote. As more. Of all the adjectives to describe democracy which stands for giving the people the right to choose who is in charge the man who stood up to take over the white house didnt pick fair stable or strong democracy sometimes messy it sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance and the envy of the world just messy or its just gotten way too messy and his country we have received reports of many irregularities we believe that there are good voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud Trump Campaign says theyre going to court the biden Campaign Says its ready for court fights protests bite from supporters and a series of vote fraud allegations by the president himself trump will go to war over this election and that is dangerous for this country there is quite a list of things appearing as cracks in the system take the mail in voting in times of covert when the nation was meant to rely on it at one point the Postal Service warned it couldnt cope the president flushed the method altogether saying it would lead to a rigged poll if you read some of these pieces there have been plenty of such the media has been questioning the confidence in us democracy europes been watching the mess in the wings with raised eyebrows but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise i would democracies are in danger was a blink in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the United States its important the result is then accepted by everyone is easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be. Trumps late night speech puts a question mark over his possible 2nd term in. Face it is hard to imagine what the 2nd term would look like when the president directly called for the abolition of the rules of democracy hes called to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy heres a voice of concern from allies japan we can say for the United States to get into turmoil and confusion because of the election is a minus for its allies and like minded countries but perhaps the most fascinating thing to observe is the smear by americas foes after so many times washington told them how wrong things are with their elections. What a spectacle one says this is the most fraudulent election in u. S. History who says that the president whos currently you know this is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u. S. Elections and u. S. Democracy are we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States and we hate it when they pretend to give lessons in democracy to the world these beauts and refusal of Election Results were supposed to only take place in developing states things have changed over this have occurred in the us which is no longer synonymous with a stable civilised and consensus based society now just for a giggle let me read out one tweet as an official one country a calls on country b. S. Leaders to show commitment to the democratic process and rule of law we urge all parties groups and individuals to engage in inclusive dialogue to find Peaceful Solutions to their disagreements to heal National Divisions full stop its a tweet by the u. S. Embassy country a in ivory coast country b. From the 4th oh the irony theres a reason a lot of western european nations stopped doing mail in ballots a long time ago france stopped in 1075 because the process is rife with fraud and i have to tell you i think its incumbent upon the trunk campaign to say al gore took 37 days to litigate florida were going to go litigate and were going to demand a recount some are going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin in michigan in pennsylvania in nevada in arizona we want to get to where we have free and Fair Elections where every legal vote is counted in a trustworthy and transparent way the American People deserve it i was wishing and hoping that last night trump was going to look into the camera and say im demanding a free and Fair Election that the American People can trust not for myself but for you because you deserve it and i think the scary thing in all of this is at the end of the day no matter who ultimately wins half of the population of america is going to think the election has been stolen that is a very dangerous place for us to be in as a country well the election is happening under the shadow of coronaviruses the country keeps breaking records with more than 100000 new cases every day americans trinity chavis reports. The u. S. Marking another milestone as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold a tight grip on the nation to war according to Johns Hopkins university the number of daily new confirmed kovan 1000 cases surging 45 percent over the past 2 weeks to a record 7 day average of 86352 while the number of deaths are up 15 percent now averaging 846 deaths every day now there are many groups that are seeing record number. And we have more than one now. So this is a very serious situation room and it looks worse. The us now has the highest totals in the world while infections are increasing in nearly every state on wednesday texas reported more than 1000 new coven 1000 cases and 126 deaths while in missouri nebraska and oklahoma hospitals are hitting record highs experts who are in dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the fact that there are very few hospital beds slapped in some parts of the country its a sign that the Health Care System is. Under very. Epidemic is facing. All this amid a president ial election unlike any other polls show the Public Health crisis and the economy were top concerns for Many Americans but there are competing issues that trump and biden view through drastically different lenses. While President Trump has ignored the advice of his top Health Advisors and has repeatedly downplayed the virus. And then you get better in your view democratic contender joe biden on the other hand is rarely seen without a face mask and has made Public Health during the pandemic a key issue theres a lot of things we could be doing very massive ground but the fact is that. Its just not appropriate. The pandemic also was bending how americans vote while donald Trump Supporters said they were more likely to vote in person joe biden supporters said they were more likely to vote by mail to avoid being exposed to the deadly virus reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. So we are still waiting them for results to be declared in 6 k. States it is slow process but well have the latest developments as when that happens youre watching r. T. Or stories just awful. Anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we are problems are all over that thats simply not true the problems were there before President Trump theyre not going to worry you are grounds for the economy in the long room youre going to have to pay for that then youre going to do we still have a problem in the United States which raises too many young are going to. Jail for grown possessions in search of some of those problems or their work. Simply are likely to produce not does not stop them. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on the spear in Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Although again that france has widened its crackdown on terror in the wake of a series of deadly attacks across the country it is now down on those who welcome acts of terrorism even children it must say a 14 year old afghan boy has been charged over remarks he allegedly made about the killing of the schoolteacher samuel patsy he was beheaded by an 18 year old mostly minot. Was brutally murdered after allegedly showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed in a class on free speech the teenager who commented on his death has been released but will remain under supervision is being demanded by prosecutors that he also be banned from school and from communicating with other students or teaches well there have been. Increasing number of inquiries opened into young people the latest probes to involve children as young as 8 are many are under suspicion of interrupting a minutes silence held in memory of samuel patty and allegedly saying his death was deserved in the wake of the tragedy more than 60 similar investigations have been opened into supporting terror the questioning often involves young people aged 12 to 16 used extremely repugnant loan which is by by the Islamic State group which is very worrying we discussed the with guess the spread of radicalization among young people i dont think that the fact that they are minors should blind us to the extent of this problem there is a huge amount of sympathy for islamic terrorism among young people not the society by those with though perhaps including by those of muslim extraction if you put them in jail its not going to help them because theyre going to be radically going to be radicalized in the in the jails and they gonna get even worse we have huge amounts of immigrants in france and im afraid to say that the existence of these immigrant communities is a breeding ground for islamic fundamentalism and fundamentalism is a breeding ground for terrorism which it has nothing to do with terrorism you have a love up in me went in in france you have a lot of muslim immigrants in france who are in accord with the french law with the french we are leaving the fence some events which are not at our. Ok with the radical islam i mean were in my cell and im here in france i have nothing to do with the radical islam thats now the fact that immigration and immigration is part of the problem it is to some extent a cause and it has to be stopped its still continuing at a rate of several 100000. 00 a year into france and those levels are unsustainable incidentally independently of the question of islamic terrorism you have a lot of terrorism that are committed by friends people who have changed religion who have become muslim and those people are friends thats completely untrue there are no examples of french catholics muslim converts committing terrorist acts or 100 percent of the islamic terrorists who have beheaded people or killed them in other ways in france in the last few years and indeed this problem has been going on actually for decades no 100 percent of them have either been recent immigrants or issued or they come from immigrant backgrounds like the chechen who decked decapitated the schoolteacher its not the car but its the radical islam is that is the cause of the problem of the prominent. Has blasted israel for a destructive operation in the Jordan Valley that has left dozens of palestinians homeless palestines says israel has time the move while the world is distracted by the u. S. Election is porous layer reports now from the same of the incident. While the walls attention has been focused on the american elections and no one has been looking here in of a most part of the west bank israeli bulldozers have been hard at work demolishing most of a bed when a village the results has that 73 people are now without homes huff of them children and. These really army arrived at 10 am and began an operation to demolish our homes without any warning pieces in operation in order to big people from the area but we are not going to leave this lead is palestinian israel claims it is a war zone among the structures that were destroyed or tainted homes trains solar panels and animal shelters the only thing that remains here now i should say the only one on goats the Israeli Army Confirms it carried out this demolition and says it was because the structures were illegal got the union we lost our houses they destroyed everything it was still stand our ground and we will not abandon our land israel is a disease and it is a cancer which was spread throughout the world it neglects the whole world and listens to no one. But palestinian leaders have been quick to say the demolitions were carried out while the rest of the world was distracted as the attention is focused on us election israel chose this evening to commit another crime and cover it up to demolish 70 palestinian structures including homes displacing about 80 palestinian citizens the United Nations says thats more structures in any other demolition carried out by the israeli army in the last decade and with nowhere else to go the residents of this village are bracing themselves for freezing cold winter without the homes to provide protection policy on west bank. Now before we go heres a reminder then of how the u. S. President ial race is looking so far to macwrite nominee joe biden has 264 electoral votes just 6 away from the presidency and donald trump has secured 214 biden currently has a narrow lead in the traditionally red states of georgia as well as in the father and is just going to head to you in pennsylvania were back with the latest on the election and other main stories of the day 2 at the top of the. Hour while the way off you are down with the white house. So i dont know how you all think its the fault of the clothes. On the. Top that 182. 00 man. One. Sorry very sorry they. 6 join me every 1st day on the all excitement and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im sure ill see you there. The world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person of those but. I am. Sure jerry thinks. We dare to ask. Max keiser this is the kaiser reports lets get right into it. Right i want to remind everybody in the audience the meaning of the word smug and this is important to know because were going to talk about the smug Industrial Complex having a showing an excessive pride in oneself or ones achievements yes it sounds like cable news similar selfsatisfied complacent selfcongratulatory superior puffed up you might understand that were talking about the smug Industrial Complex known as the american Cable News Networks the think tank networks that are so star in all of those people in new york city and d. C. Are just so much better than every body else all the deplorable is and this country. Has the smug class to protect the class so they feel very comfortable with their affiliations and associations with the institutions that run america at the highest level the permanent institutions that are always running america the matter who is the president they have friends in the media and those friends feel smug that no matter what happens that they are protected it is dangerous to have a entrenched smug class in your society in your country because they can take liberties with the truth and project a situation that is false and put people down the wrong path of course their fake news was not prevented from spreading before the elections in america everybody assumed there was being going to be a blue wave that biden would win in landslide nobody will be fired for that none of those articles were stopped from spreading. And yet they did so this is important its a good way to look at any economy empire wealthy families this is how they fall apart its not from outside this is why the Founding Fathers of america did warn that america will never be destroyed from outside it will be destroyed from inside because hubris is what always is the deadliest of all Human Emotions throughout history the thing that it obviates is the need for free market and competition because in a meritocracy or a capitalist democracy like the United States you have the ability for social mobility which is the antithesis of smugness in countries that legacy monarchy or aristocracy still in place smugness counts particularly in countries in europe where we have lived for years we noticed that to be the case a so it would be a tragedy if america went the way of a permanent smug class and got rid of social mobility but the numbers are quite discouraging on this front i thought you was a small lives matter and thats how they seem to operate but i just think history thousands of years of history maybe the decades long and you know the last few decades of neo liberalism in europe maybe seem to contradict it but the thousands of years of history suggests that smugness and hubris theyre both part of the same thing always always ringback destroy power they always take it down so im going to show you some of the exit data that was just remarkable and
