Demanding a recount. After a long way to america seems to have finally chosen its next leader joe biden is on course to become the 46. 00 president of the United States after Media Projections show that he secured 290. 00 Electoral College votes well above the magic 217 votes needed. And. Its been a slow week of counting since tuesdays election day with a decisive votes coming down to a handful of states ultimately it was bidens home state of pennsylvania that handed the form of the keys to the white house giving him the much needed votes to put him above the threshold of 270. 00 it could also be a historic win for camelot harris who would be the 1st black woman and Asian AmericanVice President and his 1st speech since he appeared to have secured victory of biden called on america to heal divisions. Governor as an american president. I work as hard for those who didnt vote for me as those who did. Let discriminator of. David ization. In america begin to end here and now the bible tells us to everything there is a season a time to build a time to repeat it time to serve and a time to hear this is the time to heal in america. Projections handing biden the presidency were met with joy from coast to coast 11 softer some outlets awarded him the oval office the crowds are out today in celebration flooding trumps home state of new york tens of thousands to be jubilantly took to the streets elsewhere in the country from massachusetts to california i mean while donald trump is yet to concede and hes vowing legal challenges in battleground states to contest the results and trying to return to washington with less than welcoming. He was golfing when the election was called for biden as the president ial motorcade into the nations capitol it was met by booing with demonstrators chanting luther Trump Supporters across the country also took to the streets lashing out at what they claim to be a rigged and fraudulent president ial election hundreds of people held signs saying stop the steel and their own claims of voter meddling by the democrats arties it Daniel Hawkins joins me in the studio to discuss bidens 1st public address as president elect. 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 we pretty disappointed with the outcome it is all over the media have the bought in victory with the man himself changing his social media to hide those to president elect or rest of last 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 sees the United States or murders of be cured for the bros. We will not only we will lead not only by the example of our power 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 battles of our time. The battle over cheve Racial Justice and root out systemic racism in this country the broader control the virus the better bill press birder the better secure your Families Health care the tackling be coronavirus pandemic was a key pillar of joe bidens 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 socialist of course whatsoever how secure is biden. In his victory and what challenges does he face its definitely not all plain sailing from here trump has so far refused to concede defeat hes not cool joe biden to congratulate him as is customary in these cases to symbolize 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 fortunate. The observers were not allowed into the counting rooms i won the election good 71000000 legal votes bad things happened which our observers were not allowed to see never happened before millions of 1000000 ballots were sent to people who never asked for them or some from saddam and so their votes not being officially certified yet in those key swing states who put on everybodys minds over the last few days some are still going up going through the process of counting being wrapped up with some will go to recount as well these slew of allegations coming out of the trump has been quite quite astonishing really that republican observers as we heard allegedly not being allowed to witness the vote counting ballots to seize 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 Following these legal motions that 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 really acting to the u. S. Domestic politics but i mean some are painting this 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 votes in u. S. History but trump has won the 2nd largest popular vote in your 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. Along 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 that does mean whatever happens so far at least boylans going to face or. An uphill battle in the senate trying to pass his policies despite losing seats the democrats do retain a majority in the house of representatives so thats one positive they can take from this election. Well part of the reason why is that the counter 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 to it is 16 Hillary Clinton won the majority the popular vote donald trump won the Electoral College count so similar in this election despite joe biden being the clear winner overall and so i was a popular vote so you had to wait until the very complex and convoluted Electoral College system went in his favor as well if 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 are you going underground host actually motowns he spoke with trump the 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 always had in mind the 300 judges that were appointed under his Administration Given that hed 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 judicially. We discussed with guests whether america cannot come together and 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 for in foreign interference in the 26000 election and i hope as to not be totally 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. For our 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 that work 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. An r. C. Have been behaviors that are corrosive to democracy and corrosive to a Polite Society into a Civil Society so i do believe we are in for several more years of Major Political unrest. More International Reaction is coming into joe bidens projected victory israels Prime Minister welcomes biden while thanking trump for helping sale what he called historic peace accords such as normalization of ties with the United Arab EmiratesBenjamin Netanyahu called both politicians his warmest friends over in the e. U. Leaders have generally expressed optimism at the new face coming into the Oval Office Congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the United States and to come out of a harris on historic achievement the us 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 on harris 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. Across life now 2 political analysts nickel americas edge thank you for joining us on the program its great to see you for your up how significant is the joe biden victory. Well i think most of the people the president today here today are european eaters were in favor of biting a lot of the people here today live strong relationship with the United States that a lot of them have been disappointed by donald trump which is clearly said that he was isolating more of the u. S. Than previously and that that best that youre kind of orphaned because europe has always been in the back a lot. On americas americas back today i think a lot of you get maybe youre in countries therefore divide and divide and candidate im not sure maybe all european people have that same sentiment but definitely the euro and you do you prefer biden and theyre quite happy with that given result so far that you think he was genuinely glad trump is gone oh could it end up disappointed with blinded especially if his hands are tied by republican senate. No i think yet is that important that i mentioned that there could be a Strong Republican Senate however what is really a participate that your actions today really look like a Strong America weve seen that theyve tried with strength and power to find a leader in us 1st 1st they amassed along with coming out and that america was trying to say ok we can do without United States on the roof of the European Union that doesnt mean the europeans but the European Union cannot do without a Strong America and by that and by human bodies does this return of america to the global scene and by this is perceived as the leader of the western world and i think that these orphans. These are president s and there are 3 chiefs of Different Companies in here wanted again to have to have a leader and thats why they look up to biden that theyre happy with that company because and that was 4 years of trump and that congratulations to biden muslim the kong talk of challenges what might they be was starting to do you think. Or difference challenge i mean what is the strategy what is driving going to be doing experience the military considering defense what is it and what are they going to be doing concerning. The opening of the borders for may want to commerce how do we tax the gap is that here in europe i mean these are challenges which existed with trauma but i think that is more i didnt draw ideologically whats the matter with the merkel even with Boris Johnson that he would that trunk was so i think there still are some many open issues between the European Union and and the u. S. But there was probably going to be easiest easier today to to find solutions because they are an ideologically which is not the case thats more than i i you know other people who are trying but military and commerce are going to be that you know i mean defense and commerce are going to be the 2 major issues there are plenty of ongoing bad transatlantic rials like terry of the power of climate accord in nato spending do you think that biden presidency is going to resolve all of that. Know i dont i dont think so he said that he would come back on the terrace climate a demand there on different issues theyre going to try to find solutions i think unfortunately biden will not be able to do all that he wants he is now he can be maybe i mean well see what it once the results are definite but if he is the next president president the United States is going to be having a lot of problems domestically and its not sure that even if you wanted to be going to be able to do all that he wants what the European Union with the mideast with Climate Change how much freedom is he going to be having the next 4 years to be attacking those issues while having to cope with the divide in this very extremely divided country and this is going to be extremely complicated and by this 1st happened just try to try to get people back to get to discussing in the u. S. Which is going to be much more important than discussing Climate Change are the situation and maybe bill russell order in syria i mean this is something which is going to paramount for biden and the next 4 years and its going to be a very difficult subject with him and i think on and ethnically in that time. Well the uncertainty over the delayed vote count sparked a week of fiore from both sides supporters. Thank. Protest has clashed with police in the wake of a particularly bitter election battle however it seems the political stances of the 2 candidates may not actually be that far apart well as people on the streets of new york to name the main difference in the policies of biden and trump. Thank you very much youre very little more like. Im from the other here and you know different experience to be sure i dont feel it for housing i do for Foreign Policy just like the storm does work so it was. You know i might have some issues like most of your party let me see has a policy consistent framework for you to go for. Being cruel to me. Yeah i am really pleased. I could sit back and im going to say dog trouble but it could be biden. After 4 years of presidency donald trump has received unprecedented scrutiny from the u. S. Establishment and mass 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 trumped 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 calls to even investigating trumps foreign ties its journalism thats what journalists do its normal no what they outdid themselves on is outright 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 about 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 to use people in your profession that great fake news you do. And the president a 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 parties 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 a man who drank too much. Who sucks of 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 the agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight. Just to recap joe biden is on his way to clinch the us presidency after Media Projections to. Be 270 electoral votes needed for victory the call was made on saturday morning off the biden flipped his home state of pennsylvania to pick up 20 more votes in the state of nevada has also since been called for the former Vice President however trump is yet to concede and just found a slew of legal challenges to stay with r. T. As we keep on top of the latest in a 2020 and us president ial election. Join me every thursday on the all excitement and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im sure business ill see you. Some control for a middle class. Most of my very hard working people who want to get ahead that have either have some some Health Issues or have some other trick about luck a full time job wont always pay for a place to live and missing just a months rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. You better catch up real quick or youre going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted by anyone thats homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time its not the case so you know it used to be pull in the worlds richest country. Their. Own well controls a part well all eyes are still on counting and recounting develops in the 2020 us president ial elections have already tabulated whats been known all along that the United States it is one of the most politically polarized countries on the planet with little agrement on its history that path forward and above all what it means to be an american so they how is this schism going to influence the next 4 years for america regardless of holby concerts next president well to discuss that im now joined by david brady professor of Political Science and literature values that staffer at the university and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution professor radians great to talk to you thank you very much for taking time to talk to us your. Now i know youve been predicting him perhaps personally a wishing for a joe biden win and perhaps its a bit here early still to encore the champagne but have you at least put the bottle into the fridge. Think it looks pretty good for surviving. Is the as many paths to 270 electoral votes and the president really only has one yes whenever they get slapped and that seems a bit unlikely given that hes behind in arizona and nevada and the votes left in no bother to be counted are currently from. Our status in reno which are big democratic areas and then survey has gotten quite close and most of the votes out in pennsylvania are Senate Absentee which are generally. 7520 in very remote georgia has not down to 16000 votes with many votes in Fulton County and the atlanta area to be counted so it looks pretty good for the democrats and their republican cement bit upset the Trump Campaign is calling for some recounts and i know Many Democrats are whined and quite offended by. These calls goodstein they insist that count that black things and hope that all the disagreements they within billygoat feel isnt that a safer way to proceed the rather than i mean the e. U. No there are some worrisome predictions going into this elections with you know the stores boarding up their windows and you know weapon sales going through their oh so it isnt that its you go the recount way rather than anything else yeah the well theres so yes the lesson was amazingly. Enough predictions of violence and we did not happen theres 2 kinds of recounts that your listeners should know
