Results his supporters take to the streets demanding a recount. After a long wait america seems to have finally chosen its next leader joe biden is on course to become the 46. 00 president of the United States off the Media Projections show that he secured 298 Electoral College votes well over the magic 270 votes needed. Well its been a slow week of counting since tuesdays election day with a decisive vote coming down 200 full of states also mostly it was bidens home state of pennsylvania the 100 the former Vice President the keys to the white house giving him the much needed votes to put him above the threshold of 270. 00 he could also be a historic win for harris who would be the 1st black woman and Asian AmericanVice President in his 1st speech since he appeared to have secured victory by. When called on america to heal divisions. I will govern as an american president. All workers hard for those who didnt vote for me as those who did. Not discourage. David ization. In america began to end here and now. Is handing finding the presidency one that with joy from coast to coast moments off the some outlets awarded him the oval office crowns of up to the celebration letting trump home state of new york tens of thousands jubilantly took to the streets elsewhere in the country from massachusetts to california. Meanwhile donald trump has yet to concede victory and has filed to launch legal challenges and bounce around states to contest the results upon trunks return to washington the reception was less than welcoming. He was go thing when the election was called for biden as the president ial motorcade into the nations capitol it was met by booing with demonstrators chanting lose. Yes. Yes. As the biden team declared victory Trump Supporters across the country also took to the streets lashing out at white what they claim to be a rigged and fraudulent president ial election hundreds of people held signs saying stop the steel and i thought of trumps own claims of voter meddling by the democrat. Party down hawkins joins me in the studio now good morning to you daniel i think tori is evening for the biden team yeah indeed its not actually been the longest wait although it may seem that way to decide who finally will be in the white house next year it was clear that whoever won the race whichever way this went half the country would wake up and check their social media would check the news and be pretty disappointed with the outcome it is all over the media have the bought in victory with the man himself changing social media had those 2 president elect or. Vice president elect lloyd in his future key policies in his victory speech. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Who doesnt see the red states and blue states only shes a United States a murder is a beacon for the broader. Were not only we will lead not only by the example of our problem but by the power of our example. Now this campaign is over. What is the will of the people what is our mandate. I believe its this american to call upon us in the great values of our time. The battle over cheve Racial Justice and root out systemic racism in this country the battle of control the virus the better bill prosperity for the better secure your Families Health care what we mentioning covert of course tackling the coronavirus pandemic was a key pillar of job on this Election Campaign and also a very convenient weapon political weapon to attack trump with so very ironic seeing as tens of thousands of supporters there on the streets with no socialists of course whatsoever how secure is biden. In his victory what challenges does he face its definitely not all plain sailing from here trump has so far refused to concede defeat hes not called joe biden to congratulate him as is customary in these cases the symbol as a sort of handover of power between president s here hes been issuing very thinly veiled threats that his Campaign Team would be taking legal action in multiple states to try and turn around an action that hes repeatedly described as follows that the observers were not allowed into the counting rooms i won the election good 71000000 legal votes bad things happened which are observers who are not allowed to see never happened before millions of mail in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them. Well some from saddam and. Their votes not being officially certified yet in those key swing states which you put on everybodys minds over the last few days some are still going up going through the process of counting being wrapped up some will go to recount as well these slew of allegations coming out of the trunk has been quite quite astonishing really that the republican observers as we heard there allegedly not being allowed to witness the vote counting ballots of disease the vote is being counted in favor of joe biden and also many of these have of course been debunked by officials that hasnt stopped his team filing these legal motions the experts say theyre very unlikely to succeed because the margin of victory for joe biden is so big unlike the bush v gore case in 2000 when the margin of victory was much much smaller. If there was like the entire world has been watching this election unfold this week how have people around the world been we acting to the u. S. Domestic politics i mean some are painting this result as a sort of symbol of the electorate mistrust in donald trump people are fed up with his policies most of all his leadership style as well boyden is of course on course of one of the biggest popular vote in u. S. History but trump has won the 2nd largest popular vote in u. S. History so that does show that theyre actually pretty neck and neck in terms of votes that blue wave of democrats which was predicted hasnt materialized the democrats. Are longing to take control of the senate the way things stand we wont know until january when those election run offs in georgia or in other states happen so that cliffhanger will remain in place until the new year so far the tally in the senate is 48. 00 republicans 46. 00 democrats there are those 2 seats in georgia will go to run off so that does mean whatever happens so far at least going to face a real uphill battle in the senate trying to pass his policies despite losing seats that democrats do retain a majority in the house of representatives so thats one positive they can take from this election and that they wait for their the counting of the vote it was a long drawn out almost painful waiting for those results why did it take so long while part of the reason why the drugs on was mail mail in ballots joe biden actively encouraged his voters to use this partly for safety reasons because of the pandemic the 2nd reason is the u. S. Voting system its not enough just to get the most votes overall when it wasnt so clear so similar to what we saw into the 16 Hillary Clinton won. The popular vote donald trump won the Electoral College count so similar in this election despite joe biden being the clear winner overall in terms of popular votes he had to wait until the very complex and convoluted Electoral College system went in his favor as well. Well there are scientists fawning over many theyre all going to view this election victory as boyden sort of possible achievement here but rather a mixture of factors for example the coronavirus pandemic will never really true you know the extent to which that had an impact on the way people voted similar to the French Election of 2017 if you remember micron versus le pen there was a feeling among many voters probably voting for anyone but trump people would simply put up who they had fatigued from the partisanship from the divide from his quite unique leadership style so to say the board also captured the middle ground of america successfully playing off that divide which weve seen over on the streets over the past weeks and months judging by the process that we have seen carrying on over the period of the election over the last few days there will still be a rollercoaster in u. S. Politics just will be is a little bit less colorful without donald trump in the white house and will be covering it covering it right here at the International Im sure thanks for coming in. Well if truncates the Supreme Court to consider his case it would echo the election 20 years ago when it effectively handed the presidency to george w. Bush on t. V. Going underground host actually returns he spoke with trump impeachment lawyer on the chances of winning the legal battle over the vote. Its unlikely he will prevail in the courts but thats his best shot what sort of time scale are we talking about will be about a month as it was in 2000 with bush and gore i think well have a result within weeks not months if pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think trump 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 supporters of trump say he shouldnt have given that press conference on the night saying 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 courts it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believed and i dont think it will have any impact either electorally or traditionally. We discussed with the guests went to america can now come together on the consequences of this. With trumps election there were 4 years of accusations that the russians had helped him become elected it was 4 years and i think around 30000000. 00 of taxpayer money was spent investigating those allegations which as we all know have come to nothing now in 2020 we actually have video footage of things like ballots arriving in unmarked vans and of people correcting ballots which you are not just allowed to do so theres a lot more evidence of voter fraud than there ever was before in foreign interference in the 26000 election and i hope as to not be a total hypocrites that the people who are all upset about electorate Election Integrity when donald trump was elected have those same concerns right now you know this is nothing new i come from chicago i was a suburban Chicago Police officer but in chicago in cook county from the time that i was a child there was always talk of fraud and dead people voting and things like that the United States really needs to get a handle on our Voting System and is there fraud in our in this system purely from everything im seeing there are some problems i know the f. B. I. Has to go showing this is going to play out in the courts as a Law Enforcement officer its very frustrating but what im more concerned about is that with day to day safety in our cities and the longer this plays out and the more tense people become the more dangerous it becomes for our citizens the more dangerous it becomes our business and of course the more dangerous it becomes for american Law Enforcement when the left leaning media is talking about unity dest their code for if you disagree with those shut up its not real unity at all all thats going to happen is the people who feel left out or silenced by the media or by College Campuses or whatever those people and their views are going to fester and become more radical theres going to be a lot of unrest on both sides because this is not. Heald country is a divided country that has been actively divided by the democratic and republican parties dead 2 groups have been actively and intentionally isolated so that they dont communicate so they dont try to find compromise they dont try to find concord and instead try to view each other to view anyone who disagrees with them as an absolute enemy what weve seen from the d. N. C. In r. C. Have been behaviors that are corrosive to democracy and corrosive to a Polite Society and to a Civil Society so i do believe we are in for several more years of Major Political unrest. Despite the extremely polarized election it seems bidens and trumps political stances may not actually be that far apart well with people on the streets of new york today the main difference in that policy. Thank you very much youre very little more like. One from the other here and you know no government experience. I dont feel it from really has any idea of what ill see just like the storm does work so everyone. You know i might have some issues like most of your body let me see has a policy consistent framework for hes going to go. From being told to see very clearly that really pleased her. I could sit back and im going to say dog trouble but it could be biden. The reaction to joe bidens projected victory has gone far beyond the u. S. With a range of World Leaders sending back congratulations to both biden and his running mate come out come of the harris european politicians were among the 1st to react to the projections by the ski told my colleague Saskia Taylor about the comments. He does in europe have been quick to flock to congratulate biden on his victory will start off with vanderlyn who is the European Commission president she offered her warm congratulations to the Biden Harris Team and she talked about the u. S. And the e. U. As being allies and friends Sebastian Kurtz who is the austrian chancellor tweeted about the shared values between the 2 countries. Prime minister talked about the us being able to count on italy is being a solid hour like an evening there was a note from here in stoltenberg who is the chief of nato saying that he knows that joe biden is a strong supporter of the Organization Also congratulations coming through from the Prime Minister of the u. K. The french president and the german chancellor congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the United States and to come our harris on her historic achievement the u. S. Is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from Climate Change to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and come all of ours we have a lot to do to overcome todays challenges lets Work Together i look forward to future cooperation with President Biden our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master of the great challenges of our time well so much congratulations but lets be clear not everybody is going to be welcoming a biden presidency and one persons perhaps not feeling too great about that right now is a slovenian Prime Minister who earlier this week could actually tweeted that he was congratulating trump for his win hes also talked about biden in the past suggesting that biden as president would be one of the weakest u. S. President s in history but lets not forget he has a personal ties in the game he. Because milan a trump the current 1st lady is of course from slovenia we heard there about reaction from angola michel and so lets take a look how to biden presidency change relations with germany for example well im glad merkel is staunch politician somebody who would work with anyone and weve seen her try to work with trump over the last few years but clearly germany is hoping for easier relations in the next 4 years it wants to perhaps strengthen that transatlantic cooperation between the 2 countries some of the issues that germany is going to be most concerned about is the fact of the trade was that donald trump has famously have these trade rules with the e. U. Over various issues theres also the issue of a nude stream to this gas pipeline coming straight from russia into germany the u. S. Currently has sanctions on companies that are working with that and theyre also the bigger issues issues of nato iran all of these germany will be hoping that they will be able to work with an ally we know that obviously over the last couple of years weve seen how trump has been pulling out of some International Agreement so the Paris Climate Accords that drew a lot of criticism of the Iran Nuclear Deal how do you think biden coming into the oval office could see things change getting the e. U. All hope that maybe some decisions will be even reversed well we know already that biden has been incredibly clear what he makes of some of these agreements you mentioned that the Paris Climate Accord donald trump famously pulled the u. S. Out of saying he wasnt happy with it that sort of caused a bit of a fraction in the relationship between him and frances president emanuel not corn now biden has been clear that the 1st day of his presidency he would reenter into that agreement one of the things that many of the european leaders the m. P. C. Any piece of been talking about on social media is the fact the. Theyre welcoming that the u. S. Would be back it would be their part of the Paris Climate Accord in regards to the Iranian Nuclear deal again not something that trump pulled the u. S. Away from something that was negotiated and the Obama Presidency when of course joe biden was Vice President so there is a hope that joe biden if he is the 46 president of the u. S. Will be somebody who will want to go back to the negotiating table and trying to smooth over those relations but there is a bigger concern here that if biden is the 46. 00 president hes going to have so much on his plate when it comes to domestic issues whether thats the fallout from the election with of thats the 1000 pandemic whether thats the economy that europe may be waiting before those issues are dealt with are the 4 years of presidency donald trump has received unprecedented scrutiny from the u. S. Establishment and martha media with some even calling him the most dangerous president ever reports. However it ends the election trump will go down in history his vows to drain the swamp build the wall and make America Great again theyll remember him what theyll write about him will depend on the book the author the perspective if they love him or hate it if hes the greatest failure in the history of the United States and the worst with resumes america has ever had. The worst and most dangerous president where are you in 2017 when we had the worst president i would even argue that he is the worst worst president in American History hes the worst president the countrys ever had 4 years of trump was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents fought it was a time when grown ups behaved like children in the white house and congress in the streets todd when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed on and focused entirely on everything that they despised about one another. The 252. 00 congressional votes under trumps presidency 104. 00 resulted in disputes and clashes some of the initiatives that congress voted on would to block trumps initiatives they voted to prevent votes on things that trump wanted and were not talking here about things like the wall or deporting Illegal Migrants were talking about politicians who supported trumps ideas like pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal when he was a businessman suddenly reversing their positions when he became president seemingly out of spite i believe iran will not change and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions well ultimately retaining its nuclear and nonnuclear power at this time and this place for so many reasons pulling out precipitously without our allies involved does not achieve any of the goals we need to achieve and hurts americans in different ways but politics is politics right they fought under obama too if a little less nothing new about the media then specifically them losing their minds and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window. Digging up tax records or leaking cause who even investigating trunks foreign ties its journalism thats what journalists do its normal no what they did themselves on is out right and somewhat petty smear campaigns about how awful trump is for drinking too much diet coke about how much of a cheat trump is that golf about how bad he is at it that how his own wife doesnt want to hold his hand all cheap all dirty and for trump easy to dismiss you are shake do is we are fighting the fake tears there are people in your profession that rate fake news you. And the resonator your fake is the net result has been a collapse of trust in the media the news it isnt news when the publication has an evident interest in maligning someone. Never in living memory has the establishment tried to sink a president elected by the American People from before he took office with sabotage with leaks with set ups they did everything to make people believe in the trump russia collusion sham the kumi investigation the steel dossier about prostitutes and urination the Mueller Report all to make impeachment possible the impeachment of the president of the United States impeachable conduct impeachment nonetheless we should begin proceedings to impeach the president move forward with impeachment and as president theres parters on impeachment this impeachment process cost a reported 11000000. 00 trying to impeach trump 32000000. 00 for the Mueller Report countless man hours wasted and they couldnt pull it off at the end of the day trump will be remembered if differently he was a tyrannical megalomaniac and a man who drank too much cook who sucked at golf and whose hands even his own wife didnt want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who rules to drain the swamp that is washington and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future theyll agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight. Just to recap joe biden is on his way to clinch the u. S. Presidency hasta Media Projections talking well over the 270 electoral votes needed for victory the call was made on sunday morning off the bat in his home state of pennsylvania to pick up 28 well votes in the state of nevada has also since been called for the former Vice President however is yet to concede a slew of legal challenges stay with us we keep on top of the latest in the 2020 u. S. President ial election. This is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of those deadly leave. Out there. Where not. The person that theres a cheesiness and b. They are considered the most dangerous of criminals shes in a sill. All the off 23 hours of the day tell me that its not enough punishment it will give women on death row. In Southern California the sun rises over san diego bay. Next to a parkway in this parking lot 54 year old maria begins her day. Straight with bed in. This car is her. This is every day. This routine about stretching my bad.
