Manteca a recount. Live from moscow to the wild this is a tense National Wild commit to the program from the whole team my name sauce to taylor well to start us off this hour of course off to a tense and often acrimonious wait joe biden is on course to become the 0. 40 president of the United States but donald trump appears adamant that the election was raked to read to ignore suits in the coming week. Spence one breaks down how the situation came about. Joe biden has officially become the president elect for the United States it was saturday when that announcement was made by a number of media organizations after biden secured more than 270 electoral votes enough to put him over the top he spoke in wilmington delaware tonight alongside the 1st Vice President of the United States come all the harris 1st woman ever to ascend to the position of Vice President heres what harry had to say in introducing the new president bay have elected a president who represents the best and. A leader the world will respect and our children will look up to a commander in chief will respect our troops and keep our country safe and a president for. Americans the new president elect biden took to the states and i talked about the need for the nation to heal to come together and to be ready to move into a new chapter. Joe biden becomes the oldest person ever to be elected president of the United States 5 days after voting 1st closed heres some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. Theyve delivered a clear victory a Convention Victory a victory. For we the people weve won with the most road ever cash in president ial ticket in the history of the nation 74 you. Know obviously this call doesnt come without controversy as i said a number of media organizations make this call but it doesnt officially become official until the vote is certified across the United States in 50 different states and that wont happen over the course of a number of days in the meantime on monday the Trump Campaign continues to push against this and will file a number of lawsuits in court including in michigan in pennsylvania. In arizona in the that in all of those states the president s team is claiming there has been rampant and widespread voter fraud in the fraud to actually overturn the election heres what the president had to say tonight we all know why joe biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over now to be clear its very difficult to have enough of these cases to be able to actually overturn the results of an election because its more than just being able to prove fraud you would also have to be able to prove that there was enough fraud to actually change the outcome of the election and how far does it go does it go all the way to the u. S. Supreme court in each one of these individual states that remains to be seen but in the meantime it seems that President Trump is not yet conceding the race to president elect biden we should also mention that as these cases go forward there is some precedent for this back in the year 2000 when al gore and george w. Bush ran against each other there was only one state that was ultimately contested that was the state of florida that race went on for 37 days while the new ballots were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of these Different Court challenges across the nation im dense one. Womans off to some outlets paced 5 to neophyte office crowds of his supporters erupted in celebration shouting total chumps home state of new york tens of thousands cuban and took to the streets elsewhere in the country to from massachusetts on the east coast to Washington State on the west supporters of trump also came out in force claiming the election was fortunate and demanding a recount crowds gathered in florida where the incumbent prevailed and even in california huge as a democrat from home. While there is right its a pit peaceful and nonsinging michigan a battleground state of course think of talent ugly when the 2 opposing sides met. Well. Scuffles broke out as you can see involving groups of people matty of one armed more than 500 Trump Supporters that gathered wearing my hat and chanting slogans such as 4 more years. Old can store and you know neal here in the studio and they discuss the current atmosphere atmosphere state side. Of the nation and whatever the result in the end of the day would wake up disappointed when they read the news on the social media and thats reflected by the protests weve seen over the streets across many cities of america both pro trumpet and celebrating badens victory and also reflected in the polling numbers though dont forget that although biden won the majority of Electoral College votes the popular vote was much closer around 75000000. 00 for boyd to 71000000 for trumbo threat alerts yeah indeed indeed the highest amount for any president on the 2nd highest amount for 4 trumps so this was not a landslide victory as you quite rightly said a blue wave of democrat senators and congressmen as well also failed to materialise for the democrats abroad and though remains optimistic and was adamant he was a president that can unite these divisions this was what he had to say i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Were done to seize red states and blue states always shes the United States the bible tells us everything there is a season a time to grow tired of repeated time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time do you hear on america. The deuce on the gold the right words here are the time when deficient is right but its a tough task. It is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority Republican Senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take the. Sees their clear consensus which people were hoping for which the poll numbers were open for hasnt materialized what role the has materialized is the scale of polarization in u. S. Domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides. Them 4 years ago in the 26th election and this election shows they very much havent gone away and ironically as you said all the right words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for Many American listeners because weve heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent President Donald Trump now its time for america to find a division have to get again. Republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one United People coming together of course is a particularly tough task given factors we should beyond bottle drops all job on to control the coronavirus pandemic how to handle that one key issue which the election was very hotly forto which continues to polarize Economic Policy tax policy americas image abroad americas Foreign Policy these are all issues which do divide americans and which will continue to pose a challenge for this presidency and Trumps Campaign of course claims that the media in particular has been stoking these for many years and he believes that the only way he can get justice team trump can get justice is in the courts yeah absolutely i mean theres been a whole. Host of allegations from Trumps Campaign. They say that a lot of the votes havent been officially counted officially certified especially in those key swing states which have been making headlines over the last few days. Trumps supporters claim that observers were allegedly not allowed into the stations to properly monitor the vote counting process. Of diseased voters were counted in for. A lot of these already have been debunked by officials but nevertheless he is taking legal action litigation in many of those key states thats going to head off into next year and i mean in one way you can blame them because again going back to 4 years ago to the 26th election the democrats there were also quite sore losers i mean Hillary Clinton was adamant that the election was stolen from thats exactly the right words and that resulted in 4 years of nearly 4 years of investigations and millions of taxpayers dollars seeking to find that link between trump and russia proving that collusion not of course resulted in no evidence of such thing at all now ironically we see a complete role reversal here with the republicans with trump claiming the election was stolen from them and trumps presidency of course would have bottle heart in him and sort him out to fight these battles because of these allegations over the last few years. As we said remains optimistic that the us. Of how this election was conducted can very much show the world how its done tonight the whole world is watching america and i believe that our brand america is a beacon for the growth of. Were not only we will not only by the example of our power but by the power of our example well most of the world which has been watching this election closely World Leaders which expressed a lot of concern over the last few days of a constitutional crisis seeking to cobble sides looking at the protests the litigation the Court Battles which are due to go in world certainly until the end of this year probably well into next year as well theyll be looking at this and. Thinking this is a slightly different picture than the one is by presenting what we discussed with gas whether america will now come together as joe biden said he wanted to happen in his acceptance speech or if the divisions are simply too deep. 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 on. Friday that people voting and things like that the United States really needs to get a handle on our Voting System and is there for i mean are 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 to 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. Field country is a divided country that has been actively divided by the democratic and republican parties that were 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 and to a Civil Society so i do believe we are in for several more years of Major Political unrest. International reaction has been rapidly coming into joe bidens projected victory israels Prime Minister welcome by 2 while thanking donald trump for helping seal what he called historic peace accords such as the normalization of ties with the United Arab EmiratesBenjamin Netanyahu called both politicians his great friends wanted me your leaders have generally expressed optimism at the new face up to take charge of 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 u.

It probably going to send that wouldnt be very helpful of 444 by then and then sol the u. S. Supreme court it will not be sold spread out so it would stay the new administration but said. It to europe would like to have one close relationship with that by then and they would try to dissolve some trade the issues that say fans like. During that as he did time but being station if the usa would be a more global great event that insults nato so nato would be more active i think it in a europe it would be more students than europeans and it really would like a Strong America but we see that theyve tried with trump in power to find a leader in europe 1st the 1st taste of matter was coming out and theyre all trying to say ok we can do it without the United States senate because the European Union thats i mean the europeans but the European Union cannot do without a Strong American by that and i didnt bodies this is this return of america to the global scene and is perceived as to your of the western world and i think that these orphans. These are president s senator 3. Different companies and in your wanted again to have to have a leader and thats why they took up the bite of their hat with that i dont think they could have done that with 4 more years with trump. That. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports im showbusiness ill see if. Anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we are problems are over that thats simply not true the problems were there for President Trump theyre not going away you have grounds for the economy in the long room youre going to have to pay for the things youre going to do there are we still have a problem in the United States with racism we have too many young are going to. Jail for grown possessions in search of some of those problems that are. Simply allowed produce not does not. Welcome back now the u. K.
