transport fares. it soon turned into a much bigger movement frustrated by inequality in shalane society. the current constitution was implemented during the dictatorship of guster pinochet and many see it as something that prevents attempts to address poverty and inequality. it symbolizes the injustice that this country suffered and how the people rebelled against the constitution and this puts an end to the dictatorship of pinochet and his chile's transformation to democracy. the plebiscite not only asked if the constitution should be scrapped but who should rewrite it. to lane strongly supported having it rewritten by a group of elected citizens rather than a mixture of politicians and citizens once the members are chosen they will begin drafting

spain's regions will have the power to impose even tighter curbs on movement and close regional borders nearly 35000 people have died from cope at 19 and spain. greece spain is caught in a 2nd wave but the coronavirus leaders are desperate to stop the pandemic spread and to save lives at least 9 regions have called for a national response plan until then some implemented their own mr actions curfews close restaurants and bars early and christi and leno forcing residents off the streets from 2 needing until 6 in the morning. to get i mean everybody who is good for those who are my age who are drinking a lot in the streets because things can get out of control and then what happens happens. but. i'm a doctor and i think the curfew is a good idea but we must take more personal responsibility so that our economy

doesn't suffer so i agree with the measure. measures are on the way spanish prime minister p. true sanchez issued a state of emergency on sunday. if the situation we're living in is extreme this is the worst medical emergency that we've lived through since our constitution was approved the worst in the last century. that's why we're approving a state of emergency again because this is the best tool to keep the virus at bay nation wide the country is under curfew from 11 at night until 6 in the morning and now local authorities have the power to ban travel between regions only the canary island is exempt the prime minister is asking the parliament for an extension of the new rules so that they can remain in place until may spain became the 1st european nation to record a 1000000 koonin meyers cases last week when the pandemic 1st hit spain impose tough restrictions the prime minister doesn't want to go back to that he hopes

these new measures will be enough to keep people fit for more reports apollo foley joins me the spanish prime minister says this is an extreme situation how does it compare to the spring well it is in fact an extreme situation at the numbers are not looking good there's over $400.00 cases per 100000 it's over there with among the worst in europe you know such as france italy and belgium but of course we compare the situation back to the spring when testing wasn't happening to the same degree is happening now at the number of people who are actually dying of cover on a day to day level you know we're around 1000 mark back in the spring and now it's still very worrying we're talking over $100.00 to $200.00 people dying in spain every day and so it is an extreme situation it is worrying but it is also a very big country with big regional variations so marie gins as such is not on the north have very high numbers but then the canary islands which isn't even part of

this because at the numbers there are so low so it basically gives a little bit of legal backing at autonomy's to deal with the situation so we're seeing varying numbers across the country how will this what does this mean for spaniards in practical terms well it's very worrying obviously as you can imagine not just because of this. recent surge in numbers particularly since the summer some regions are fairing worse than others but essentially what it is is that it's limiting people's movements and a lot of people have been talking about the fact that in spain and everyone knows this the numbers are going up because people are getting together whether it be families and friends and particularly at night time and has been out of focus on young people sometimes unfairly as well because it's not just young people who are doing it so this is going to century limit people's social life and also the possibility of limiting movement within the country to as by and had a state of emergency earlier this year it ended over the summer how has this new

state of emergency been received and well it's been mixed overall we saw it there with the lady in the report you know a lot of people have accepted that something needed to be done and also just the way spain works structurally you know it's a large country with autonomous communities which essentially are like states and they're the ones who are going to be in charge of dealing with the situation in their region so they can cut themselves off if they need to and also the central government essentially gives them the legal backing that they need and also there is a feeling in spain that something needs to be done obviously like everywhere people are feeling jaded they're worried at they don't know what's going to happen but this is not the saying as what we had back in the spring people are not going to be stuck in their homes for months like they were back in march and april but there is good there are going to be restrictions with regards to how they go about their business somewhere you know there's a lot of concerns also once again we saw in the report with regard to the economy how is this going to affect people's lives bars restaurants particular that's

a big part of cult of the spanish culture and of course tourism is going to be impacted at the only glimmer of hope that we have is that things are looking better in the canary islands of a fairly alias thank you very much. now to some other stories making news around the world armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to a ceasefire in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh the truce came into effect monday morning according to the u.s. state department and the 2 governments hostilities broke out in the mountainous enclave 4 weeks ago this is the 3rd attempt to end the fighting. women's rights activists i'm get by a tightening of poland's already restrictive abortion law have demonstrated at churches across the country some scuffles with far right nationalists the constitutional court ruled last week that aborting fetuses with congenital defects is unconstitutional. security services in bellerose have used stun

country and. turmoil. a president who provokes and divides. driven into a corner by protests and the pandemic. donald trump is fighting tooth and nail for a 2nd term. with the election fast approaching america continues to be shaken by the coronavirus and a debate about racism. will meet people in 3 states that could decide the election arizona michigan wisconsin. after everything that's happened well they still go for trump. i was donald trump on the campaign trail

fighting for votes and arizona was the last time around he won this important state by a very narrow margin was. belk refer to listen to the president from outside the rally phoenix has become a coronavirus hot spot it tearing down statues desecrating monuments and purging dissenters it's not the behavior of the peaceful political movement it's the behavior of. talent carriers and tyrants and people that don't love our country they don't love our country. the bells often tune out when they hear trump's course rhetoric. what they care about is his economic record i think he's so pro-business he understands business as a business as business owners we want somebody that kind of understands our issues are coping there we're reading it all for senator so. congress was doing well you

know right we had high hopes for you know reelection and i mean it's it's crazy how kobe has just changed. america it's changed the world but i really think that if he got in and was elected for another 4 years that the things that he said in the beginning i think would come to fruition. it's fairly quiet outside the rally and contrast to the last drop of an dodi and steve attended in february. could it be the heat. or the fact that the president has taken some hits in the polls i there doesn't seem to be as much energy in the crowd or even in his voice we were outside can't see him but it just doesn't feel as energetic i don't know if this tired or if the masses are was fixed you know large sure he draws energy from the crowd i don't know but it just seems a little bit more subdued duty and steve bell have always been steadfast

republicans they plan to vote for trump and november across the country pastor gray lewis says venturing back into his church for the 1st time in months. milwaukee is home to the largest black congregation in wisconsin and otherwise largely white rural state fair. share of. lewis is great in march the preacher was in intensive care. there coronavirus brought him close to death the biarritz has killed 4 of his friends in milwaukee just like elsewhere black people have been more affected by cope with 19 than white people. god is real and saved my life because i should have been did you know i heard all kind of. other issues on top of

the corona you know what my believe is that god is. the pastor hasn't fully recovered yet this is his 1st service since being seriously ill in any case churches in wisconsin had to stay closed for months. after such a long time away pastor lewis wants to use his sermon to preach about pervasive racism. he says the killing of george floyd caused many to wake up. who've. already. tried. oh rev. ma. fine. then. pastor lucas his ministry doesn't stop at the church door. he's been fighting

against the discrimination based by milwaukee's black population for years. he now hopes they could be on the verge of meaningful change. just because there is a law doesn't make things right so because slavery was a long. but it wasn't right so so we just have a lot of work to do or we have to start to do that work right now where the people are protesting in the streets before we go back to our old ways and being quite recent. and bitter and hateful. the brutal killing of george floyd shook the nation yet again raising an uncomfortable truth black americans are much more at risk of dying from police violence they make up 13 percent of the population but 23 percent of those killed by police statistics

the president prefers not to use and so are white people so no white people what a terrible question to ask so white people more white people by the way more white people black americans are much less likely to own their own home and can become homeless more quickly. and regardless of education they almost always earn considerably less than white americans. in arizona the lockdown is over restaurants and stores are open despite rising corona virus infections. stephen dodie fails business selling promotional items is buzzing again like finally there are new inquiries and orders. in the 1st week after the lockdown the phone didn't even ring. demand had completely collapsed it just happened so fast i knew that that economy would come back

i just thought that it would come back quicker and now here we are almost in july and now we have the resurgence of cases and i think it's it is a setback one of their regular customers wants a bulk order of t. shirts $10000.00 worth. but duty is still cautious about the recovery. as the pandemic struck the economy the trumpet ministration turned to stimulus to soften the blow at the end of july the state had provided financial aid worth $2.00 trillion dollars many are calling for more the checks for up to $1200.00 that most americans received have long been spent the economic collapse was the worst in 75 years of fact trump ignores but we're going to go up. people are going to say. this guy is doing

a good job he knows what he's doing and i don't believe the fake news but next year and i said it before it will be the single greatest economically we've ever had. the bells have received the equivalent of 51000 euros from the state. we haven't had to dip into our own pockets to pay for are poised i mean i still responsible for that i don't want to let them go. that have been with us almost 20 years i just can't do that so it's helped keep us afloat. she can understand trump's desire to lift pandemic restrictions. has he made all the right decisions probably has he made some good decisions yes but no matter what president was sitting in the office you know i don't i just don't know how you can. judge something that we've never god or before. steve has another preoccupation with through his

friendship with one of his poker buddies who's black he's come to see how much racism affects the daily lives of black americans. a friend of mine just sent me a thing over the weekend about trump supporting. white supremacy if you saw all that. and basically trump. so that was a good thing on his tweet. i think he's going to be like. i think he's killing himself right now personally i think he is if he would learn to shut up. he might have a chance to right now i'm thinking maybe now that. democratic candidate mr biden. has a much better shot. before the boxes are even packed a grim news alert record new corona virus infections bars and restaurants will have

to close again so that kind of changes things again i clear talking about every day is a new day everything changes just when you think that you're getting some traction . or not. to him covert. ok. tedi pontifex has to face the virus every day. in her home state of michigan the pandemic has been to some extent under control but the numbers are rising again. she has no sympathy for those who don't want to follow the rules anymore even though she herself longs for the time before corona i want to go back to my life the way it was and i think that it's hard to swallow that our lives will be different moving forward until there's

a vaccine. time and again katie has had to witness patients losing their fight against kobe at 19. the nurse hopes that those in washington d.c. won't take the danger more seriously. most of us don't want this for ever anything kind of calling want to care for people so we don't feel like heroes we're just showing up and do our job. you know we take care of people and the best times of their lives and our worst and this was how different this simple facemask has become the symbol of a divided country with trump himself stirring up the dispute many republicans refuse to wear them while democrats are in favor of them and trump's message everything's under control every one of these doctors said you know so much about this maybe i have a natural ability a baby or should have done that and said it was the economic collapse caused by the pandemic seems to be a personal affront to trump his 1st appearance in

a mass was only in july. he then called mass wearing patriotic. it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better so i think i don't like saying things but that's the way it is. hindsight is 2020 meanwhile more and more american. as are dying. the number of coronavirus deaths continues to rise seemingly unchecked unlike in germany for example. the us is handling of the pandemic put it on the level of a developing country because katie's hospital took early precautions she and her colleagues feel well equipped just very serious in their. words she was here she then tested positive for home unrelated she was she's just starting to get a cough but rather than they actually hadn't really had any of the symptoms of. the times they have praise for michigan's governor in part because she asked nurses

like katie for their advice. the state shut down early on which drew sharp criticism from president trump katie didn't like that at all. trump encouraged the governor's opponents who even blocked access to the hospital. i wish people would trust health care workers but there i have run into colleagues around the country that i went to school with who are on the other side of this and they too think that this is just like the flu and you know but that's not what we're seeing and we ate so even those of us who are educated in the sciences are are struggling at times. a new residential area on the outskirts of lansing michigan capital many here have been economically better off in recent years katie her 2 daughters and husband matt have just moved into their new home.

matt doesn't mind some of the administration's economic policies but he thinks it's social responsibility is lacking and it has nothing to do with socialism the republicans favorite bogeyman. as a society we need to be making longer term decisions how do we improve health care and insurance coverage and making sure everyone's taken care of that's not an easy fix and as much as we'd like to get the one second sound bite that says i have the solution and that it takes people coming together i can't i can't even watch videos if i needed it and i read the subtitles because i think. it puts me in a bad place to just even hear his voice and days and. i don't ever want to think that of anybody any any person even. their own modern

family katie does shift work matt takes on a large share of the childcare and housework it's not as though they long for more government regulations they're freedom loving americans but the country under donald trump is no longer an america they recognize all right and parent we opposed to any policies that indicate that one group is below another that's just doesn't work with the family values that we have we know ourselves with any one party we know that our our you know our beliefs and. and morals and things like that line up a little bit more direct with one party versus the other but you know we look at the candidates issues and and vote along those lines up until. it was a this primary election or maybe it was last year we never voted a straight party ticket before and this year we well. one reason katie and matt

plan to vote democratic is their daughters. so they want eva and emerson to grow up to be strong self-confident women with equal rights. i just think it'd be nice to have a change because we've only had males president for a long long time and it be nice to just have at least one it's a woman's. as president. for men that's who teaches at a university and katie a nurse for more years of donald trump are unimaginable the country can't handle more division. no i never would have been there's been something like that. probably my wildest dreams ok maybe my wife is not it honestly at times feels like we're living in a in a bad. back in phoenix trump supporter dodi belle is spending the day with her

grandson. it's a chance to take a breath and forget the stresses of work. the bells had actually planned to sell their business this year to step back and focus more on their family. but then came the pandemic. i mean i have hope i have i know that this is going to be over soon and we're going to have our highs on our lows with account i can see that but right now i think it's just making weary and tired you know i'm tired of talking about it i i i feel for those that keep getting set up i just feel that wait. steve clears his head by exercising before coronavirus he was sure that america was on the right track. now

everything has changed my life we who could be at stake. if we can't get our business back to 100 percent or least close there's a real possibility we could lose our business. he worked hard for his dream after a childhood spent in poverty. when we were out of food we ate what was in the house and i remember one evening for dinner it was like the 3rd night in a row we were having pain cakes and. i can remember. going into the kitchen smelling the pancakes and throwing up because i couldn't do another night of pancakes but that's all we had. i have always had the mindset that if i want it i've got to work for it and i started working when i was in junior high and there's this mindset within our country that the government should take care of us and that i don't have to work

and i do think kind of a socialist mindset is coming into our country where we will no longer be necessarily a democracy. here in michigan the election is mainly about the economy it was a key reason trump won the state in 2016. under his administration some things in the so-called rust belt have improved. but the corona virus has undone much of that improvement. in the neighboring state of wisconsin known as america's dairy land many farmers backed trump and helped him to victory. how will they vote this time. the pandemic forced dave daniels to reduce milk production for several months but

demand is starting to pick up again these cows are about to be inseminated for the 1st time. david least hasn't had to throw away any milk we do have to keep on farming because these animals don't understand what's going on they are accustomed to their daily routine. eating lounging around and everything else so they say they don't know anything different right now they just figure it's a nice sunny day here at the end of june. farmers like dave on trump hoping for better produce prices and less bureaucracy but thanks to trade disputes and the coronavirus there are now more dependent on financial aid from washington than before. whether in response to cope with 19 or the trade war with china trump solution has always been money. $12000000000.00 during the trade war in 2018 another $16000000000.00 in 2019. and amid the

pandemic $19000000000.00 by the end of july 2020. you can go back to abraham lincoln there's no president has treated the farmers like. the farmers but i can't imagine. who wouldn't be wouldn't be withdrawn. many farmers love him for abolishing regulations. environmental safeguards are farmers these are great people great americans never complained never complained they just do what they have to do since the end of march dave has been head of the wisconsin farm bureau betteridge. he'd rather be working outside right now but because of coronavirus the meetings are piling up. today there's a conference with farmers associations from all over the country many support

despite the president's negotiating style. he is someone that takes we called the bull by the horns and he's been very aggressive and he says he has his reasons for it we can understand it that those are reasons we we wish that sometimes those tariffs one hurt as much but the opportunities that he has taken to hopefully have a better future for the united states and the. nearly all of dave's employees are from mexico most white americans don't want this kind of work. that's why the farmer is for simpler immigration laws. it's not as though dave isn't critical of the president if only he keeps his mouth

shut more often especially now when protests are sweeping the country. we've always been able to demonstrate go there spend some demonstrations that have been on peaceful but for the most part you know the peaceful ones that are are doing it for the right reason. and you know when we have the african-americans and black white matters there there needs to be some some justification forced. things that have happened in the time they have the right to do that demonstrate. rural wisconsin is local slike to keep to themselves and the pandemic has isolated the population even more. dave's wife cam is a nurse she knows the best ways to avoid infection. but she's also a committed republican she rejects mandated mask wearing to raise can make up their

their own mind about who wears them and who doesn't and how they feel you know it is america and we can't force people to do things so we just hope they make the right decisions that will round the spin is both have traditionally voted republican although this time they say they haven't quite made up their minds it's more about milk prices than the larger political landscape the decisive factor is who will be better for farmers. dave says that trump has gotten a lot right. but he still on the fence trumps extremes his tendency to anger evade situations and insult those who think differently. these things go against dave's perception of america. i think there's more people in the middle but the

boisterous ones on the right and the left and i think they are they are drowning out the middle and how we would like to have this country run so it's it will be a challenge because it seems like the pendulum swings way to the right and then he comes back and swings way to the left and i wish we could stay in the middle for a will a little while longer so people could be happier. this sonora desert in southern arizona a place famous for its cacti. maxie adler and lake in georgia all want to show us the facts of trump's politics the pair document how the construction of trump's border fence destroys nature. trump's prestige project has grown despite opposition . laken is a former ranger he quit his job because of trump now he and maxie fight

against the construction of the border wall. as usual it doesn't take long for security guards to show up we're allowed to be here these are public lands is a taxpayer funded project we have every right to be here you can call your boss you call border patrol. just the usual fun and games like and says he used to work here as a researcher and ranger now he works to protect the cacti. the saguaro is the emblem of the american west. it's blossom is arizona state flower. always has construction traffic now it's like what like 40 or 50 trucks. seem like there's a lot more going on and just a lot more yet closes down. the companies seem to be working flat out

the activist speer trump is using the pandemic to push construction along before the election. 3100 kilometers of borders separate mexico and the united states. my administration has done more than any administration in history to secure our southern border so far around 400 kilometers of fence have been built claims it will be $700.00 by the end of the year. to achieve this he suspended 41 environmental guidelines and competition regulations in arizona alone all planned and financed unilaterally bypassing congress. this unesco recognised reserve is now home to excavators and bulldozers oh. wow. stillwell yeah it's i'm sure was killed last week or 2 it's still totally

what will be on the inside a star has to be at least 75 years old to grow an arm and so are has multiple. so i don't know for sure how old it was but. yeah could be it could be older than the border itself. these giants of the desert. cut down to fill a campaign promise. i mean not only are these plants beautiful and irreplaceable but they also provide a huge amount of habitat to birds to rodents. they stabilize the soil they provide all sorts of ecosystem services and if we keep destroying these things that hold the patchwork of life together. it's just

a matter of time until it all unravels. if i did the surf anyone else did this. would be a felony no show you could be put in jail for harming one of these plants but here it's like. get everyone. leaves. for maxine lake and trump so-called wall is a symbol of his governing style never mind the laws. people fought for years to make them happen it's not like they happen overnight and the idea was that they would protect us and protect the things that we love and with so little. was able to just remove it as if it doesn't it doesn't exist anymore it's just an absurd amount of frustration it makes me feel like democracy doesn't. exist.

laken now works for an environmental organization in tucson. to witness the destruction as a ranger would have been unbearable now at least he's creating hope despite the pandemic. the violent killing of george floyd has brought a renewed sense of unity to those who oppose trial. i think it's really clear that the status quo is not working for people and that it is possible to build a more just and beautiful world and in that sense you know the struggle. the black us how to struggle and our struggle against the border wall against trump's track county and immigration policies are very much linked. young people like maxine lake and are working hard to make sure trump loses arizona and 2020. revolution in phoenix is growing like no other city in the u.s.

thousands moved to the desert city every year it's a cheaper place to live many bring with them liberal values which could significantly change this formerly deep red state change what we really need black lives matter is uniting many people both black and white who are fed up with trump's america 20 to go to the beach but it's a coalition that could change the country provided young people go to the polls and vote. class should make you scream last manikins be more than angelo lang's goal. she's working to get out the vote in milwaukee. before the pandemic she and her colleagues walk through mainly black neighborhoods each day. she takes us to get a taste of the kinds of conversations she often has with residents. and tourists done there. as you left and i leave us now that we've gone by since voices are you is not i feel that that was the point of oslo and i think that i

think that's what a lot of people feel and i'm going to we're going to write like you have to go on you know you saw we 7 saw big nazis him that there's nothing you can do in life not that we want to be when you grow up. it's fun for a group i'm mostly not though that's why they fight for the rights and that's it. oh right i think i give up on me a long time ago but on the off fight for health so who doesn't fight for their child who doesn't make sure that your child doesn't live the best life that you didn't have even if you had the best would you want to sit down and with elected officials and tell them everything that you know i mean i mean i think god put me here for parties that you know we just miss it is that i said that sometimes i'm sorry so the reason i ask is because this is just be what 5 minutes and i'm like you need to have these conversations with these elected officials more than

listening who have failed few. voting rights are still a controversial issue in the united states it's often black populations that are most disadvantaged there aren't enough polling stations it can be complicated to register to vote and those who commit a felony can lose that right entirely absent that fear of the bias at primary elections in milwaukee just 5 polling stations were open instead of 180 a proposal to allow everyone to vote by mail was rejected which pleased the u.s. president you can do the mail in ballots because you can have tremendous fraud people still amount of mail boxes people print and then they sign them and they give them into the people don't even know where the double counted. and organization is headquartered in this church since the middle of march things have been at a standstill here. but before coronavirus people were trained in community outreach

. after the democrats' 2016 loss some blamed the black community for not voting thereby costing hillary clinton the state of wisconsin. but angela is angry that democrats took the black vote for granted she wants to convince people that their votes are valuable but that voting alone isn't enough voting is just one tactic it is not going to be the ultimate solution it's not going to wave a magic wand always and policies are on dime it's really going to take voting if people are able to in combination with year round organizing that's is where you're going to see the change that's we're going to see the accountability it's our job to make sure that people are uncomfortable even if you were just elected yesterday don't don't rest on that to honk because we're going to reach out to you and we're going to ask about what your agenda is for the black community.

how many people you think you can get to pose past how many think you could be responsible for. us all right my man. yes of 9 is number 2 now the pastor greg lewis has survived coronavirus he sits in his kitchen and makes calls to other parishes now he wants to organize 100000 votes as part of an initiative called souls to the polls he knows how important his efforts could be hillary clinton was only a few tens of thousands of votes short of winning the 2016 election in his state should register to vote we can protest for the rest of our lives as some places go it's fall of dead ears so we need to have a transition to something that would be more long term gratification nobody's going to write in or white horse and help us see and there's mistrust for democrats and republicans right now you know because look

biden has all these he would not always this guy did then i was looking forward to vote for. mr gray can his wife know how hard it is to motivate people to be politically active when they lack the most basic necessities education health care jobs. they say we couldn't do. with no home and they don't know dad we serve that. one god 2 different worlds. steve bell was a pastor for 8 years before he became an entrepreneur because of the pandemic stephen doherty worship remotely from their living room a i don't know what your week is my moral values are important to them but they can forgive the fact that the president regularly disregards the 10 commandments after all politics is always an immoral business.

you know we're all humans as i don't agree with some of the you know words that president trump has said i still. i think over all that. he tries to do what's right even though sometimes it doesn't come across that way i'm not going to judge the man i know my own frailties on my own sin. that's between him and god really that's not really my judgement i'm not going to be i'm don't put him at the same level as jesus so he's just my president he's not my savior. independence day in wisconsin faster great braves the baking sun 4 hours. after all a barbecue is essential on the 4th of july. donald trump has just

promised to make america great again. it will be very good if you want this to be you know like truck cause it make america great again we don't see that you know we was a great you know when we were slaves when when when we had jim crow we couldn't go and walk in the cities you know we couldn't be in that and the town after dark when was it great you know so you know we don't this this is my daughter i'm sorry. the pastor can't see what's improved for black people since trump came into office neither here in the walky nor in the rest of the country aspired for. for us 4th of july is just a day off because we don't really have much to celebrate about independence goes we really are indeed pinned you know we don't get the same kind of help in

consideration that you know other people get. one thing unites all americans there's lots of food for the national holiday do last a great and his wife have invited over a friend. and and her daughters. being together this time relaxing family free and love would we pray right now that you would bless those with your stories that we. might get through these times and it's so important cover from 400 years of devastation since thank god they met amy. dodi and steve usually celebrate with their children and their friends this time it's a dinner for 2 it's a 4th of july that i i'm not going to forget i mean i'm kind of sad because the family's not together or not you know swimming in the pool and we're not laughing and telling jokes and everything but i mean i'm still glad as 4th of july proud to

be an american but it's just it's different there's just like a damper on the whole day. at least there's something to celebrate they just received word that they'll get a government loan worth $150000.00. it should get their business through the next few months steve sees that is true that trumps america is good for him and others. but i think that's one of the things that makes me proud about being american is we do help people in the world i know we can be conceived as bullies and and such but . i think america is. is good for the world i do think there are interests in the world that would like to see that change but i hope that america stays. a leader in the world and cares about our neighbors in the world. the fact that trump is already talking about election fraud annoys them but they're not surprised it's just typical trump. one last question before we go what if trump

loses but refuses to leave office i don't know how that's possible. i don't know of a president that actually said that they're not leaving if you like that's a real probability but certainly have hope. again i think going back to that his behavior has proven that he's much like my youngest child my sister tantrums that's a terrifying prospect. it may be a very real scenario and a very may well be a constitutional crisis but the military were going to have to be removed from the story we were all here so. hostile reached a baby i don't feel that he is going to make a special decree and create him king of america we all know that like jeff said champ gets voted out of office says and is going nowhere to be hang him from him for years to come he knows he has millions of people who follow him and he doesn't
