9:07 am
have had i'm going to watch for the commute for believe me but why do you out there you read that are deserving are they now we can work something that can be a real realistic not just the parties to the president that's the point everybody has their own ends that the stick would need to be realistic for not what is happening in the country right now. little bit of america right that 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 well as 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 to create millions of jobs for black americans take
9:08 am
a look at what president trump told reporters in july i am believe very there is anywhere in the world where your story will make you know almost all my life that if you were the boss or your going to go to war without. these are really. well. let me. let our average american really. is able to. help us break things down from baltimore we have kwame rose he is a social activist our writer in minneapolis cammies a therapist and author and you know signs of these mean abdullah is a professor of pan african studies at cal state also co-founder of black los angeles 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 what would you put
9:09 am
on your list for but president trump has trump has done of the last 4 years faffing and your he's done a lot to african-americans we need to be clear that he has done a lot to african-americans he's emboldened white supremacy he's led to go greatest spike in hate crimes primarily against. people 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 of 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 a whole lot to black america and that's what we need to be clear about. you know not enough. system alina has it exactly right that these things
9:10 am
kind of propaganda tools that he throws out there notice that they always go one 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 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
9:11 am
know that he's always been a carnival barker in the end he's just taken it to the extreme ave i'd love to see some analysis on this conversation that we had with leslie ta let's have a listen and then come off the back of it. black lives medical event is not what it appears is going to surface on the surface one might think that it is an organization that's here to promote the interests of after americans but it is not it is an organization has financed by motor billionaires such as your sorrows the ford foundation many others and it's here to promote their own future still own secret agenda. and one other thing i like to say i've been a democrat or pretty much my our life but. the president that is going to be. in the interest of african-americans is the president that
9:12 am
would be in interest of all americans and that would be donald trump because he is being i guess is a bit later that are trying to destroy a 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 not 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 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 but you put it in context for us it's. you know 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 donald
9:13 am
trump we can all agree donald trump hasn't even made his base better the white supremacists and problem is they are 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 was down to the complacency of america and that is we haven't liberals on one side wanting to move back to a centrist agenda 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 however however bad 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 and so kwame is exactly right everybody
9:14 am
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 vote 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 asked i have to share this with you so i saw it so it's a pot because i just it's still so peppy this is 2020 and the candidate joe biden was on a morning show that you had in this was mostly african-american this is what he said just at the end of this 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 i have to do it affect i want to still be in my
9:15 am
community i would love to see if 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. who is joe biden that cilla black people what it means to be black we've 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 that was on the stage was better and more exciting than joe biden was still welled up with joe biden right it
9:16 am
can't. 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 right remember election day you had all these white folks who were shot we had 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 let's vote 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 myself said to debate when biden brought up what you put kids in cages trump said when you and your administration built the cages so let's not act has the joe biden is going to be this continuance of this you talk big black savior that we will present as barack obama being cautioned to even. let me just say this if he fled from nigel one second nigel says joe biden is on the right now listening to ask joe biden
9:17 am
doesn't meet that means 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 rice my god you're so so women the things that i think that i just really appreciate about what a brother kwame is talking about is that we can't expect our oppressor to also be our say we can expect the descendants of the people that that hopeless in this lee my people committed genocide on indigenous people to nail 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 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
9:18 am
and yeah i am not saying that just by listening i did know that history of joe biden everything he says is right is to the right. who block obama was better 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 would sum up the legacy of president trump we should say for the last 4 years because who knows what will happen on november 3rd molina what would be your word for president trump i say trump you say what racist fascist oppressor extra words that are that so k. . radical i say president trump when you say watts despotic.
9:19 am
is the desk. i say revealing now. i thank you so much gas really appreciate you molina. as we have wrapping up your search from. the people. 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 this election have listened. free verse is sensible for you if you see the people be free to. give it if it does just as sears is down to food or is sufficient to dispose for 3 days to a day cares to if you do your duty to see the people trying to free cysts if it were stacked to. tears decent just. trish is true for centuries
9:20 am
considered to be to shoot at your feet is you can't. get justice in just the shootin like dropbox sure she was pretty dirty. to beat the shit holy places trees are 3 people have to frist. to shift to free speech she. really just is or she to me to say for hours. if not if you're finished. did free speech it is a disparaging issue parlay voters a 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 home and 19 pandemic when in person voting poses a lot of risks of infection 2nd of broader issue is a feeling of
9:21 am
a lot of states to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to all voting her arms you know right there good. or in ohio we have a number there with their nominee on that and the way. in because they're. important . and not. wired more people will. durant. on their ability or you want to call candidate who won't who didn't who would warm the core pong or. one who are out there paul that will promote an able mind we all grow where we're all booked the candidate and all are heard. immigration policy has been a key part of donald trump's america platform his support of actions as
9:22 am
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 let me remind. children are brought here by coyotes 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 were 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 you that their family history has to pay built cages you know they used to say i built the cages and then they had a picture in a certain newspaper 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
9:23 am
larry and i think kids 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 were really strong and guess what they cannot is not coyotes didn't bring them over parents were worth or they got separated from their parents and it makes a lot of stock in a violates every notion of who we are as a nation. with us to discuss all things immigration. we have salty he is a republican strategist into one of mexico erica pinero is a policy and litigation director at lotto that's a nonprofit that provides free legal aid adding to our zone at the center of
9:24 am
a quake is an al-jazeera are of a 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 a lot of 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 destruction of the s.l. asylum system this is ministration 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
9:25 am
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 way 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 a lot of illegal immigrants in our country that were being disenfranchised by illegal immigration and then also of course people in this country that were not
9:26 am
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 the president trying 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 a 2nd term and i think that's something they're going to end up seeing when you talk about that not having a happiness they are the i said are you happy the way the immigration policy is right now i'm not hearing happiness i mean certainly i mean that are what you or i'm absolutely happier than where it was before but i think that we can also see more reform and she is somebody who is very happy about where we are right now jessie saying he represents the sikh community 1st trump this is what he told us at a half of. the 6 i've seen a very big shift in the city community and other minority communities and their support 2 words president trump i personally feel you have seen the ground levels
9:27 am
and i think one remarkable being that this community can say that it happened under president trump was that religious freedom at that prison term 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 adequate she is an out as there are a great correspondent she is literally on the road right now in our car on the road reporting of a selection 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 sheriff's around the country in 2018 about immigrants coming to century cities
9:28 am
have a listen. we are people coming into the country trying to come and we're stopping the out of them but we're taking real out of the country you wouldn't believe. these are people. these are animals and we're taking them out of the country oh rape that's never happened before. because of the weak laws they come in. we get them we release and we get again and we bring them out it creates. dissecting the headlines in the midst of a pandemic let's start with some of the on the ground realities of the news coverage what is the way of the one challenging the official night. listening post on al-jazeera. a diverse range of stories from across the globe from the perspective of the networks journalists on al-jazeera. think of some of the biggest companies in the world today all of the big tech with algorithms that
9:29 am
they call them although we use them the more data we produce we're in the midst of a great race for data and big tech companies around the checks and cars are rising on a wealth of information and we need other commodities and the 2nd the foreign policy recently re-examined is where the corporations are colonizing the internet like the popularity and power of think tank on a. november on al-jazeera. who will be the next president of the united states join us for extended coverage of the u.s. elections on november 3rd and 4th. all hail the lockdown explores the complexities about global response to the coronavirus pandemic could a proposed traffic scheme threaten one of the world's most famous heritage sites we'll report from stonehenge up front returns with emmy award winning journalist richelle carey she'll cut through the headlines and be rigorous debate and former

9:33 am
welcome back i'm femi oke a you are watching the streams u.s. election preview we are joined by expert police on race relations electoral politics and immigration also on you tube and looking to you to be at palm dates i know you don't need a 2nd invitation so your questions and comments be part of let's get back to talking about immigration and know the michigan we have. he is a republican strategist and to want to mexico erica pinero is a policy and litigation director at a lot o. and in tucson arizona this quake is an al-jazeera arabic correspondent he said you have been reporting for al-jazeera arabic so you are trying to tell. how a 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 yarns what's what i'm hearing
9:34 am
a little appetite what is that for tight for this election what are they really curious about the appetite is huge people are very interested and this election they understand 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 around them i'm. not interested because they feel that this is you know a monumental election what data they want to know how many people 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 to our viewers because people understand that if the democrats take over the senate for instance
9:35 am
and they keep the house on a 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 history 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 election's 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 in 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 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.
9:36 am
i mean i would just go back to that time in china 16 you know president 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 people in the middle east have or he sort of you know their 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 son the fact that how in the future and i already know adi is watching and he's a republican strategist and you're seeing those pictures of the the family's been traumatized back in january 27th is is this what you all comfortable with oh how
9:37 am
would you frame it of all the media you know i've lived in washington a different time zone i was working in different houses were doing were doing the u.s. senate for a period time worked 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 do 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 look for and the travel ban on the travel ban was specifically one of them and so he alternately did you or he said you want 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 their views you protests and you see people in all kinds of situations but i think people did handle one of these situations and people did ultimately 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
9:38 am
a community following online and he says having trump this is on twitter right now having trump for a 2nd term is excruciating to his foreign policy and take on immigrants is wanting his for years was a night of darkness but hopefully morning is coming as pretty the way that he put it that's going to school me up a so you can see it very clearly erica how do you catch my so 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 ban and other travel bans that have been implemented by this administration there are thousands of families still separated including. indian h. one b.
9:39 am
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's seeking reelection. well i mean i think most you know what you're saying i'm a fellow person of new norge and so addressing what you were talking about in really in regards to each one of the besides i'm not necessarily partial to one particular computer 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
9:40 am
and so i think you know a lot of people are taking advantage of that system there are people of being 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 into 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 doing piece and you point to. have a listen and then piece 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
9:41 am
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 getting up within these 4 years and know the truth that no 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 or. is that my thinking into 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 election 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 her and hear curse her
9:42 am
perspective because i spoke also with a young man. earlier before speaking to his parents his father was he is actually an american citizen now. 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. to 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 i tend she was you know getting people out to vote for a 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 was affected by immigration necessarily is going to be voting for the democrats.
9:43 am
in the. thank you for sharing it with us quickly into you know and says i think trump is to do with immigration the most attempting to prioritize kids 1st and america's skills and safety. d.n.a. test kits and hotels improving facilities that's. all right erica in a sentence if you can some on immigration policy for the last 4 years how would you do the say the same. but administration's immigration policy is constitute massive human rights violations that have become a stain on america's stamp moral standing in the world thank you erica guy had america 1st also 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
9:44 am
is what we are seeing and those are facts and the sand lets her reporting speak for itself on this i will 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 vote solve 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 incidents water protectors were being beaten tastes shot out with rubber coated bullets they militarized police protecting an oil pipeline on the borderlands of the standing rock reservation everyone on those front lines the stakes of the 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 prizes in extra
9:45 am
complete and are trying to our treaties which never expire and so when you talk to native voters about what 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 peoples rights are tribal sovereignty protection and 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 that are so our communities of color across america and yes the last 4 years with the tribal ministration we've seen a rise an incredible rise of xena phobic racist attacks on people's native lands in
9:46 am
need of fright but with the by human issue should 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 lou state that occupies stolen land that is predicated upon the oppression of many for the benefit of the few and intel we feast we're going to continue to see conflict but truth be told i see an easier path to our goals for indigenous nationhood and sovereignty with abiding here's the 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
9:47 am
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 how does a was white house correspondent kimberly how is right here with me in the studio like precocity times cambridge so lovely to see you larry what a nice to see our eye in the love this comment in are you cheve chad talking about where we are right now this is how as a go i feel like this election shows democracy in action whether or not that brand of version democracy is worth preserving is another question oh hell are 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 good and whether you're on the biden harris team or the term plans team you are passionate you are and
9:48 am
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 near 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're 100 percent saying democracy in action i think the challenge and i think no one 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. donald trump. come from the reality show world what our democracy is not a reality show we need to count every single vote days or weeks that needs to
9:49 am
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 because 3 ality 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
9:50 am
have to stick to the facts. we call you what you almost see 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 mice wisconsin all over florida north carolina and nevada arizona i think
9:51 am
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 so 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 and 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 know i care i want to. know that is not the reason why young people are inspired in what historic numbers well i have a 19 year old and 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 that donald trump you know you're
9:52 am
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 get is a barrel of we are talking about i mean we were talking about our enthusiasm because we are not a white house correspondent well i don't know why or in attacking i share nothing 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 a spider to look at the liberal side of iraq i am quoting i am quoting 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 housing he's been talking about the melon ballots and how many people have already
9:53 am
voted for them. 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 massive day we know that the likelihood of this nearly 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 it 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
9:54 am
numbers in turn then turn out 2016 it's astonishing so we're seeing this across the board you know ignoring the brain still to says trump is campaigning more than behind to know well what do you say. we've lost oh well i'm so sorry come back to if if i can let me just pick up a few pride in terms of the 2 candidates campaigning in 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 you will say saying what the republicans are doing little publicans doing what a democrat saying 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
9:55 am
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 had 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 is there is a process that all of us send 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 as circumvented not a lot we're talking about we're talking about i just want to keep us on track of what we're talking about we have the ability for the millions. we had a debate where i was not expecting that to be a debate shows that the democrats fighting for them now well. talk to me now.
9:56 am
no well it's not and she's a republican strategist and kimberly is ready for anything this is a this is a good workout the november the 1st pretty much was not expecting to do what you want to lie and say i'm careful i don't think announcement on all my life's i do appreciate that it's all right i'm used to it thank you noel and fired up but yeah right. yeah you're still going in there it's all yours are a little bit and so we all agree on oh it's a little bit further well we hear you way tapping into your thoughts a republican strategist can't really could not look. we've got our work cut out for us thank you so much you were really love your punditry on this very special episode of the stream looking ahead to the u.s. action center watching everybody seemed. to.
