with slight injuries have been treated we are hoping that the numbers will not be escalating and we hope to hear the news about more people being rescued but the fact that some 20 buildings have collapsed is. a big news and i'm afraid the number of casualties may rise crisscrossed by major fault lines turkey is one of the world's most earthquake prone countries at these 17000 people were killed in 1999 when a large quicks flock the city of is met south as stuff a stumble and around the 500 turks died india's quake which struck this then city of from 9 years ago but they said craig about 6000 people live in the area of severe shaking 71000 in the area a very strong shaking a 3200000 in the area of strong shaking rich employees that in fact the number of casualties is likely to rise possibly substantially the one thing is that since

999 has evolved a pretty good network of search and rescue units near earth quake was also felt here in istanbul 500 kilometers far from israel now residents in turkey and on nearby quake islands have been a warned of aftershocks and further damage they might bring up a solo al-jazeera a stumble. in our headlines this hour vigils have been held in memory of the 3 people killed in yesterday's knife attack in southern france security has been heightened with more soldiers deployed across the country off but after that attack at a not today basilica in nice a 21 year old tunisian migrant is being held the interior minister has now said france is in a war against islam mr ideology just 4 days to go before the u.s. presidential election will people have voted early in texas in the entire vote in the state in 2016 it's voted republican for more than 40 is the polls are suggesting a shock democratic gain could be on the cards meanwhile president don't trump and

are live on you tube so for the next hour we're bringing you stories and discussions beyond the statistics and spotlight the people policies that will be most affected by this election we want to hear from you we are managing the chat so it's a totally safe so to talk about politics type in your questions or your comments and i will share as many as i can with our guests across the country discussing politics has divided households we checked in with one divided home you're about to hear from either an answer nice a guru or regular stream viewers will recognize them from immigrant town hall myra and anthony generally get on pretty well except when it comes to who they believe should be president. unemployment in this planet. earth. but there you don't you know it's forward yes it is the statistics say that well it was just that if they did they say they're just thinking some kind of janet in the news but not everybody. is the what is are we need to have had i'm going to work

for you believe me but i don't know you. know we're going to show good and can be a real realistic not just of what give the press. the point everybody has their own. that is. we need to be realistic for nowhere except in munich and regrowing our. little bit of america right there thank you anthony and thank you myra this year the us was overtaken by anti racism protests that saw hundreds of thousands of americans pour into the streets to express sorrow and anger over the police killing of an unarmed man george floyd it was a moment that resonated across the world candidate joe biden has laid out a comprehensive plan to address racial disparities ranging from health to policing donald trump has talked about creating a platinum plan plating to create millions of jobs for black americans take

a look at what president trump told reporters in july. i am going to raise her anywhere in the world when your children are you know i'm a girl much like that if there were more gorgeous your but i gather we're going to al gore. these are really. the right. way to go but let me. let our average american will. know president today that we're going to. have us break things down from both small we have kwame rose he is a social activist our writer in minneapolis arrest mathematic hammy's a therapist an author and assigns an easement abdullah is a professor of pan african studies at cal state also co-founder of black ice mottos antony's guess it is so good to see you so present trump says what has the president done for african-americans he claims he has done so much now what

would you put on the list for but president trump has champus done of the last 4 years faffing and your he's done a lot to african-americans right we need to be clear that he's done a lot to african-americans he's emboldened white supremacy he's led to the greatest spike in hate crimes primarily against black people on record he has doubled down on police brutality and police violence he has created economic conditions where now it's projected that half of black hole owned businesses will never recover after the pandemic he has ushered in greater medical racism than we've ever seen in my lifetime so he's done all whole lot to black america and that's what we need to be clear about reza you know noting obvious. system system

alina has it exactly right that these things come a propaganda tool that he threw. those out there notice that they always go on exam he gets to throw out anything you can you can see he can say absolutely anything any knows that these reporters only have 30 seconds or 5 seconds to actually interrogate what it is that he's actually saying and so he plays this game about black people who try to hold certain black people who fall all over him and get certain types of personal gain from from but from aligning themselves with him but it is not the stuff that he says is not about collective black people right black but what happened to black people did not happen to black people individually and what continues to happen to black people is not happening to us individually it is happening happening collectively and what he wants to do is make is gaslight us and try and make us believe that he's doing something when he's actually not in but you

know that that he's always been a carnival barker in the end he's just taken it to the extreme ave i'd love you to do some analysis on this conversation that we have lost little ta let's have a listen and then come off the back of black lives matter movement is not with it appears going to surface on the surface one might think that it is an organization that's here to promote the interests of the various but it is not it is an organization has financed by multiple years such a sorceress the ford foundation many others and it's here to promote their own future still secret agenda and one other thing i'd like to say i've been a democrat for pretty much my our life but. the president that is going to be. in the interest of african-americans is the president that

would be in interest of all americans and that would be donald trump because he is being against is a bit later that are trying to destroy our country. there is conversation amongst people of color about who they should vote for part of the conversation is dr who i would you know vote for this particular candidate and that is going on both sides of the aisle oh my lady sit on this i say this having seen one of your tweets from a little while ago and it says here there is nothing you can tell me that will make me vote for a white man to be president ever again i've taken that out of context when you put it in context for us it's. yeah i'll put it plainly there is nothing exciting about the came to see of joe biden and this election and particularly i don't think that

people are voting for joe biden as much as they are voting against the truck we can all agree donald trump hasn't even made his base better a white supremacist and problem which is they're not getting economically free they're still just as poor as black folks in projects in baltimore detroit and los angeles and so i think that this election boils down to the complacency of america and that is we have liberals on one side wanting to move back to a centrist agenda that really doesn't meet the progressive needs of young voters. and me as a young black voter right i'm not excited to vote for joe bottom however however back truck might be i still don't think that joe biden meets my needs. and i think can i just say i think that everybody black that i know and everybody progressive that i know agrees with you right there and so kwame is exactly right

everybody who's going to the polls and we are enthusiastically going to the polls we're going to the polls to get trump out we're going to the polls because local elections demanded that we get to the polls we have to look for a summer. really exciting ballot measures we have to vote out our district attorneys in places like los angeles but i think that this should be i don't know why the democratic party didn't learn a lesson after they ran hillary clinton and expected lech folks to just line up behind him i have to i have to share this with you so i saw it so he said but because i just it's still so petty this is a 2020 and a candidate joe biden was on a morning show the units was mostly african-american and this is what he said just at the end so honest do you have a problem figuring out where you are for me or trump and you a black i don't i'm going to do it it has to do with the shirt i want my community

i would love to see you look at my record man i extended the voting rights 25 years i have a record that is 2nd to none then double a c.p.s. endorsed me every time i've run the world i mean come on take a look at the record right who is joe biden that cilla black people what it means to be black we got to remember that joe biden was presented as a counterbalance to barack obama he's now trying to ride barack obama's coattails but joe biden was meant to send a message to white voters that it's ok to vote for this really what's a moderate black candidate because joe was to the right of them and so it's really important that we remember that we're out there to vote against trump but the democratic party has to run better candidates everything i think that what was on the stage was better and more exciting than joe biden was still welled up with joe

biden. i think that leads us back to exactly where we are in for 8 more years right we keep letting white liberals and the democratic party off the hook in the thing about truck right remember election day you had all these white folks who were shot we have this blatant racist in office as if it hadn't happened for the last 400 years since the inception of america and so even now it's a like we're saying that's but for joe biden who thinks that he can pander to black votes because he has black best friends or he's barack obama's best friend my shop said to big when biden brought up would you put kids in cages trump said when you and your administration built the cages so let's not act his if joe biden is going to be this continuance of this you talk big black savior that we will present to as barack obama being cause i don't even want condit let me just say this if he fled from nigel one second nigel says joe biden is on the change right now listening to

ask joe biden doesn't meet the needs but he's the lesser of 2 evils obviously and then i have made my sammy says he's hot says biden but his mind says trump president god yeah so so women the things that i think that i just really appreciate about would brother kwame is talking about is that we can't expect our oppressor to also be our say rather we can expect the descendants of the people that that hopeless insley mad people who committed genocide on indigenous people should now turn around and be our savior that's not in this moment in time i don't believe that's the question right i believe the question is right now. if we if we don't vote or we vote for trump we're going to get a doubling down of the of the pain that our people are experiencing in this moment

in time yeah i'm not saying that just by listening i'd know the history of joe biden everything he says is right is to the right of who brock obama was black in this moment in time looting is not for me is not necessarily voting for joe biden the very words to all it's ok curtailing the the violence that's occurring to our people yes it took us 4 years to get here we're not going to solve it in the time we have for this segment but there's something i'm going to see today it is extremely challenging in a word sum up the legacy of president trump we should say for the last 4 years because who knows what will happen on november the 3rd molina what would be your word for president trump i say trump you say was racist fascist oppressor extra words that so k. . radical i say president trump when you say what the spot it.

is the best. rappers out. i say revealing. thank you so much gas really appreciate you molina there as well as i am we have wrapping up your search from. the people right thank you guess now i'm going to switch topics we have spoken frequently to the disability community of the past 4 years we checked in with some of our friends friends of the stream and they said their thoughts with us about the selection of listen. reverse is sensible for it is evil people before that. ever if it be just as cers is out to further suppression terje spokesman through teeth to eat them at their stated it's their duty to see the people trying to interfere with free cysts and staff tips. here's

a citizen. trish is a true century and it's eternity should untruth easier. to just as it is a shoot him like dropbox for and supervise her charity. to beat their ship a fish is treason for a script you have to trieste. to shift to free speech. if she is to meet you yes sure sure. sure did you 1st. get free speech if it is just. currently vibrant disability encountered 2 major challenges the 1st is a failure of a lot of states to ensure that absentee voting is private and independent this is a long standing issue has been around for many states that rely on paper based absentee voting programs but it becomes especially critical of the code in 1000 pandemic when in person voting poses a lot of risks of infection 2nd

a broader issue is a feeling of a lot of states to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to all voting her rounds but you know why minority there could be no. overlap we have a number maybe they're right but there but then the way it's not that they're really that important but without gordon and not well with out whites who know our people well with ability. during the month when the impact that has on their ability or even the candidate who did what he didn't or the war in the kampong or won't go then one person out there paul will promote an able mind that we all agree or where we're all book that counted and all are heard . immigration policy has been a key part of donald trump's america platform his supporters actions as

highlighting the strength of his leadership opponents say his immigration policy in the u.s. on the wealth and child separation at the southern u.s. border and immigration came up in the 3rd and final presidential debate that we remind. our brought here by coyote's and lots of bad people cartels and they're brought here and they used to use them to get into our country we now have as strong a border as we've ever had we're over 400 miles of brand new wall you see the numbers and we let people in but they have to come in legally and they come in through a matter all you really do is tell us about their family history this to pre-build cages you know they used to say i built the cages and then they had a picture in a certain newspaper and it was a picture of these horrible cages and they said look at these cages president trump built them and then it was determined they were built in 2014 that was him directly

larry and i think it's yes we're not a very we were trying very hard but a lot of these kids come out without the parents they come over through cartels and through coyotes and through gangs vice president biden let me bring you into this conversation quick response in another question to you is $500.00 plus kids came with parents they separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to come to began with. real tough we're really strong and guess what they cannot is not coyotes didn't bring them over parents were with them they got separated from their parents and that makes us a life in stock and a violates every notion of who we are as a nation. with us to discuss all things immigration and we have salty he is a republican strategist into want to mexico erika pinero is a policy and litigation director at all to lotto that's a nonprofit that provides free legal aid adding to our zone at the center of

a quake is an al-jazeera arabic cause for the whole i guess it's really good day to have you here or erica let's start we hear a lot of talk about immigration and want to talk about the southern u.s. border make it real for us tell us a story that takes us there into the what you will doing so we understand this is not just a talking point the people's lives we're talking about. thank you for having me and during the trumpet ministration we saw thousands of children separated from their parents thousands more separated from other family members and a whole shell destruction of the s.l. asylum system this administration has implemented a number of policies that have effectively blocked access to protections in the united states and have resulted in tens of thousands of vulnerable migrants being trapped at the us mexico border and some of the most dangerous cities in the world

and really being punished merely for trying to seek protection in the united states the situation now especially with the c.d.c. related border closures is really dire for a lot of these people and many are losing hope in their personal american dream of safety and prosperity in the united states as we're looking at this legacy of the last 4 years of president trump as a republican strategist you really happy with where you are in terms of immigration policy exactly what you think it should be. president when he campaigned for the presidency in 2016 he spent a lot of time talking about immigration reform reforming the system. that is not just of course at the southern border and but also with issues that were essentially happening within the immigration system in america from people coming from other countries as well a lot of people taking advantage of the system lot of legal immigrants in our country that were being disenfranchised by illegal immigration and then also of course people in this country that were not able to have jobs because of people

from you know other parts of the world that are coming here and taking those jobs so i think president trump really wanted to make sure he emphasized the america 1st policies that it before and he really has doubled down on that and made sure that he has stepped up and kept his promises and i think that the immigration system has been very much reformed in many ways and it's going to continue to be able to do that in the next 4 years in his 2nd term and i think that's something that is going to end up seeing when you talk about them not having happiness they already i said are you happy with where the immigration policy is right now i'm not hearing happiness i mean certainly i mean or i'm absolutely happier than where it was before but i'll see more of on and show you somebody who is very happy about where we are right now jesse saying he represents the sikh community 1st trump this is what he told us and a half of. the 6 i have seen a very big shift in the city community and other minority communities and their support to words president trump i personally feel you have seen the ground levels

and i think one remarkable think that this community can say that it happened under president trump was that religious freedom act that president from signed in 2017 which gives on 6 right to serve in the u.s. army and other security agencies with their beard and turban as a part of the uniform so i would say it was a it was a great thing overall for the sick community. i want you to hear from peace and quake she is an outreach there are a great correspondent she is literally on the road right now in a car on the road reporting on this election we are going to meet her in just a moment but before we go to the break i have something that i really want to show you and i'm going to leave you with this it is president trump and he's speaking to sheriffs around the country in 2018 about immigrants coming to century cities

have a. we have people coming into the country to try to come and we're stopping. but we're taking people out of the country you wouldn't believe it is. these are people. these are animals and we're taking them out of the country. that's never happened before. because of the weak laws they come in 1st we get them we release him we get again we bring them out. our journey of discovery. which is the hope. of a letter germany addressed to my ground. 0. to the regime. is fascism to italian political factions in the family it makes this letter. i found. on

welcome back i'm femi oke a you are watching the streams u.s. election preview we are joined by expert panelists on race relations electorial politics and immigration also on you tube are looking to you to be at pundits i know you don't need a 2nd invitation so your questions and comments and be part of let's get back to talking about immigration and know the michigan we have sati he is a republican strategist and to want to mexico erika pinero is a policy and litigation director at a lot o. and in tucson arizona. quake and out in syria arabic correspondent he said you have been reporting for al-jazeera arabic so you are trying to tell. our bit for us what is going on in the elections what is your strategy how are you doing it i mean in terms of explaining to the middle eastern your sports what i'm hearing

a little appetite what is that for type of a selection what are they really curious about the appetite is huge people are very interested and this election i understand it's you know unlike any auction site called. it happened before our people want to know what's going on they are interested and a lot of details that you want people on them to be. interested and because they feel that this is you know a monumental election what data they want to know how many people in the you know the senate seats they that kind of granular detail. well kind of i actually i actually worked on a specific story that was like graphics and i think that story explaining the congressional race wow that was before i left actually washington and to our viewers because people understand that if the democrats take over the senate for

instance and they keep the house on lot of the policies will be affected by that so you understand about how our and washington and of course they're very interested in the president president trying and you know his tweets and what he said and and all of that and how he actually describes his opponent joe biden so yes it feels i think in the middle east that you know the elections a big thing that people want to know because it also affects foreign policy in the region so let me remind you of an instagram post that you posted back in 2017 january and this is of washington dulles international airport and what you're seeing here is the 1st few days of what is being known as the muslim by this is in the early days of the presidency if you could look back at that time how would you explain it an understand it lau. 3 years later.

i mean i would just go back to that time and trying to 16 you know present trump has had a lot of things about you know banning muslims coming into the country and then this happened which basically reinforced that idea that people in the middle east have or he sort of you know the lives are in one way or the other on a promise that he had made and his tiny 16 campaign definitely images are shocking at the time having people stranded at airports not being able to enter and then seeing a lot of the lawyers and activists at the airport you know going in volunteer ing to represent. people who have you know been i'm able to enter the country at the time because i saw that muslim but it's not the fact that how i don't think and i already know i audience watch and he's a republican strategist audie when you see those pictures of the the family's been traumatized back in january 27th is is this what you all comfortable with oh how

would you frame it a goal for me you know i've lived in washington a different time zone when i was working in different houses we're doing we're doing the u.s. senate for peer time work for the republican national committee for peer time you see protests every single day i'm not saying that this one is not more important than any other one but i'm saying that in this particular instance there were a lot of issues with immigration in the united states and the president campaigned on a different initiatives that he want to put for and the travel ban on the travel ban was specifically one of them and so he ultimately did you a he said he wanted to do to reform the system and so i think a lot of people would be upset no matter who the president is and no matter what they do you see protests and you see people in all kinds of situations but i think that people did handle these situations and people did ultimately you have the ability to you know get where they need to be and things i think were better alternately because of. erica let me share this with you this is one of

our community following online and he says having trump this is on twitter right now having trump for a 2nd term is excruciating torture his foreign policy and take on immigrants is wanting is for years was a night of darkness but hopefully morning is coming as pretty the way that he put it that's going to scully up pace and you can see it very clearly erica how do you catch mice the last 4 years thinking about immigration i would have to agree with that post it has been torture especially for people affected by these policies i would disagree with you by saying that most people got where they needed to go after the muslim van and other travel bans that have been implemented by this administration there are thousands of families still separated including. indian h.

one b. holders let's not forget in july of this year the trumpet ministration issued a ban on entry for work visa holders which resulted in hundreds of families being separated and so the rhetoric around legal versus illegal immigration or you know the fact that it's just another protest is disingenuous real people are suffering because of these policies families are being kept apart because of these policies and i shudder to think what stephen miller will be able to accomplish in a 2nd term where he is already planning to push policies that are unpalatable for a president that seeking reelection. to go ahead. well i mean i think listening to what you're saying i'm a fellow person of new norge and so addressing what you were talking about in really interesting each one be the size i'm not necessarily partial the one particular community community or my own community i know that's what you're probably trying to address but i do think there are issues with the system as well

and so i think you know a lot of people are taking advantage of that system there are people all in you know origin who are living here who are americans who are having trouble you know working in and around the economic system they have created because of the abuse in the system that exists even with each one beholders and other aspects of immigration that we have seen and you know if you don't have a country with borders and what is a country at all you have to be able to make sure you protect the people that are here to protect the american people 1st and i think that's what the president has been trying to do let me bring in some of the reporting that the sat has been during peace and you put on a panda have a listen and then peace and you can explain why. this is tatiana president trump was never calling all latinos are all immigrants rapists and murderers when i heard him say that i actually thought wow he's telling the truth because we would even see within our spanish media the reports about all the people being raped and

murdered and abused as they came illegally through the coyotes that a lot of times those are part of the criminal cartels and those criminal cartels have been destroying latin america so people are avoid going up within these 4 years since now the truth that you know that's not president trump we're still here we're still prospering the latino community has been very very blasted very fortunate with the lowest unemployment numbers ever he said why did you interview tatiana. so basically i was working on a story about the latino vote here in arizona. 24 percent around 24 percent of eligible voters in arizona are hispanic voters so we spoke with people from different backgrounds about what they think of the elections and how they view it so it was one angle in the story and she is basically running for local office here as a republican and you know it was interesting to talk to around here cursed her perspective

because i spoke also with a young man and earlier before speaking to his parents his father was he is actually an american citizen now. 9 siblings are doctor recipients and he will not be able to vote because you will turn 18 just 10 days after the elections but he had been active with other organizations and let's you know organizations here to get people out to vote we also spoke with you know who is a union member she had lost her job in the hospitality sector and she has diabetes she lost her health insurance and i tend she was you know getting people out to vote for vice president biden the democratic candidate cannot provide a different perspective to that story and to balance it out basically and to provide our viewers in the middle east to new perspective that not everyone who is affected by immigration necessarily is going to be voting for all the democrat and

not come out. in that interview with tatiana thank you for sharing it with us quickly into you actually know and says i think trump is staying with immigration the most attempting to prioritize kids 1st and america's skills and safety 1st d.n.a. test kits and hotels improving facilities that's. all right erica in a sentence if you can someone on immigration policy for the last 4 years which i do to say the same. the trouble to ministrations immigration policy is constitute massive human rights violations that have become a state on america's stamp model standing in the world thank you erica guy had america 1st poles use or actually making a difference in creating a better economy for people here in all communities including the latino community including the black community and including the asian american community and that

is what we are seeing and those are facts and base and lets her reporting speak for itself on this i won't put it on the spot and ask for a personal take thank you erica thank you for joining us thank you adi from immigration to the votes of in teaching us americans we heard from several members of the community what is motivating them to go to the polls. 4 years ago during the last presidential election and digitas water protectors were being beaten tastes shot out with rubber coated bullets they militarized police protecting an oil pipeline on the border lands of the standing rock reservation every one of those front lines the stakes of a trump presidency particularly with what happened to indigenous lands what happens to the land is often start a metaphor for how we treat our most vulnerable people and here in america that often represents indigenous peoples the fight to stop that dakota access pipeline continues alongside and number of that their land back cases and causes it extra

completely intertwined to our treaties which never expire and so when you talk to native voters about what's sending them to the polls it certainly is the land but it's also about clean air clean water protecting our animals our elders our children are homeless and standing up for our still and sisters some of the biggest issues of concern when it comes to indigenous people's rights our tribal sovereignty protection in justice for our missing in murdered indigenous women and girls the need for more funding and resources for health care and coded relief and the protection of our lands and sacred science from mineral extraction that's just to name a few and frankly all of these issues are at stake in these elections you know just it's scary to think about how our tribal communities but also our communities of color across america and yes the last 4 years with the trouble ministration we've seen a rise an incredible rise of the zina phobic racist attacks on people's they did

lance in need of fright but with the by human destruction i fully expect for us to be fighting and defending those very same things as well but to a far lesser degree. we can't ignore the fact that the united states of america is a said lose state that occupies stolen land that is predicated upon the oppression of many for the benefit of the few and in tow we feel we're going to continue to see conflict but truth be told i see an easier path to our goals for indigenous nationhood and sorry with a biden here's a ministry. but we're not giving up it's not a slam dunk when just fight is a little bit easier it has been a long election cycle and as the race enters its final days before candidates have been traveling around the country making last minute appeals to undecided voters

but more than 85000000 americans have already voted and there is so much uncertainty about what the next week is going to look like hey to help us look ahead in little rock we have noel and she is a republican strategist in washington d.c. democratic strategist dr jenkins and out as he was white house correspondent kimberly how can is right here with me in the studio it's like precocity times cambridge so lovely to see you larry they're going to nice to see i in love this comment in our you tube chat talking about where we are right now this is how they go i feel like this election shows democracy in action whether or not their brand and version of democracy is worth preserving is another question oh nico you seeing democracy in action right hell you know what i certainly am i'm so encouraged by the fact that everybody is exercising their right to vote and whether you're on the biden harris team are the term plans team you are passionate you are fired up and

you are very educated on all the issues which is very refreshing in my opinion is democracy in action. no excuse me for calling in a call i put you to fast fasten your 2nd name together and i got a wrong name but you knew who i was talking about brad always saying democracy in action we 100 percent we are 100 percent sane democracy in action i think the challenge and i think no one 'd will agree with me is we're seeing a president who is already trying to circumvent and suppress the votes of millions of people. by saying we need someone to be announced the winner on election night. i think that noel would agree with me that donald trump he may come from the reality show world but our democracy is not a reality show we need to count every single vote days or weeks that needs to

happen and i hope noel can say on record i feel like a lot of republicans have been hiding behind donald trump so i hope that you can agree with me here i thought we were talking about voter enthusiasm so i want to get to that point 1st and then maybe i'll jump in on what brad was saying as a white house correspondent you know i'll call it what how i see it doesn't matter what party you're from so with respect to the voter enthusiasm what i think's been really encouraging is that young people are voting like we've not seen before we have seen and this actually benefits joe biden given the fact that so many of them lean democratic this is a worrying sign for donald trump but with respect to donald trump saying that he wants to see a winner on election night i don't know where those facts are coming from just reality as we know in north carolina it's not going to happen we know that that's the case also in pennsylvania so i don't know i think that this is the big problem highlighted rate there with this election is that there's so much rhetoric and we

have to stick to the facts. we call you when you almost off the hot seat i'm going to put you right back on it. ok well you know what i will agree with brad on his earlier point that we need every vote counted you know that's the point of democracy and i will also agree with the fact that we are seeing a record turnout among young people which is very worrisome to the time and ticket because the younger voter tends to go a little bit more left leaning or for democrats so that is a little worrisome and i think that that's why we have seen president trying to get on his plane and soon vice president pins out as well as other surrogates to stop in states my wisconsin all over florida north carolina and nevada arizona i think

that's why you are seeing you know the whole so many rallies because they've got to do a last minute push and i think what also the if i can jump in i think one of the problems and for the trump ticket is the fact that they have come a harris on the other side and she really appeals and has energized that youthful vote i mean she shows up in blue jeans at rallies and she dances and she wears converse sneakers i mean she just looks cool and you know in comparison to out the rest of the candidates it's a kind of tough to compete so there's also that problem too so i do i mean look. i just want to disagree with pretty much everything kimberly is saying i don't want you don't like her i want to. know that is not the reason why young people are inspired in record historic numbers well i have a 19 year old so i feel like i know what i'm talking about the 1st time voter in washington voting because of her sneakers young people are voting because they

understand what's at stake and they understand donald trump you know you're trying to take the spotlight off of republican strategist this is chip. be something that a white house correspondent from al-jazeera should be talking about every single day the president of the united states is trying to suppress the vote of millions of people could you give us an example of what you're talking about i mean we were talking about that on thursday as i'm sure you're not a white house correspondent well i don't know why you are in attacking my journalistic i but if we're going to talk about journalism curiosity one of the things i do have to point out is the fact that we have seen on both sides and willingness of whether it's a conservative or spotted to listen to the liberal side i am i ok i am calling i am calling time on this i love a great debate you are taking us off track brad and we only have a couple more days before election day let me get us back on track and bringing cat calvin who's been talking about the melon ballots and how many people have already

voted have a look as expected 2020 has been a pretty wild year when it comes to elections our turnout has been unbelievable we've seen early voting lines that have stretched for 8911 hours we have people who are voting by mail and incredibly high rates so we know that election day is going to be a massive day we know that the likelihood of us knowing who won an election night is very very slim because there are so many mail and collets. this is the point you were trying to make absolutely absolutely i'm a little surprised by the defensiveness by one of the democratic strategists because i have to admit like right now what i'm saying is is i'm you know i'm calling is the polls are saying i think this is can be very difficult for donald trump to win and this early voting enthusiasm for example in texas we've already seen more early mail in ballots which we know favors democrats then in terms of the

numbers in turn then turn out 2016 it's astonishing so we're seeing this across the board you know it knowing your brain still to says trump is campaigning more than behind to know well what do you say. we've lost noel i'm so sorry come back to if if i can let me just pick up with you brad in terms of the 2 candidates campaigning how little time they have less. what are the 2 strategies that you're saying you can speak on that because if you're a democratic side as you were also saying what the republicans are doing little publicans doing what democrats doing that's different. yeah i mean look everyone is campaigning i think just to respond to kimberly it's not defensiveness what i am concerned about is there is an integrity to our institutions and to our democracy

that we are allowing donald trump to suppress the vote so that's number one number 2 i agree with you the youth vote numbers are historic record number of young people and people of color are voting in texas georgia and north carolina the challenge right now is that there are tens of millions of ballots that have been put in the mail and of early voted and i want to ensure i have a brief window here to talk to the american people right i want to ensure that every single one of those votes is counted i have that is that i know yes there is a fantasist all of us ended in terms of the strength legal challenges while there might have been an effort the institutions which are healthy have prevailed for example in north carolina and there is going to action is circumvented however is not a lot we're talking about we're talking about i just want to keep us on track here when we're talking about we have the ability for the millions. if we had a debate where i was not expecting that to be a debate it shows that the democrats are in fighting for them now well talk to me

now. no it's not and she's a republican strategist and kimberly isn't ready for anything this is a this is not going to walk out the november the fed pretty much i don't except i think about you have to lie and say and carefully i don't think announcement on a lifestyle to appreciate a songwriter and i'm used to it thank you noel fired up but yeah right. yeah you bring in the classic are you sorry i was there that's all we all agree on oh isn't it well we hear you a typing in geophones a republican strategist can't really could not look. we've got our work cut out for us thank you so much you accent really love your punditry this very special episode of the stream looking ahead to the u.s. action center watching everybody scenics.
