there not always is this week president by lashed out at recess comments made during your recent trump rally. he called supporters of trump garbage. the leader said that he meant the hate for rhetoric with garbage and not the people it for us to come to la harris to distance herself from barton and put trump for a few minutes in the driver seat and break off from berlin. this is the day, the truck and my people told me about 4 weeks ago, i would say no, i want to protect the people i want to protect the women of our country. i want to protect them. sure. please don't say that why. and now in america, one and 3 women lives in the state of washington. i said, well,

i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not, i've got to protect them and he wouldn't been nationwide. listen, it's just, it's actually is, i think, very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority. i hope you enjoyed this. also coming up in 2016 russian metals in the us election. 8 years later it is trying to interfere again. but this time it has lots of company. americans are so focused on our own internal divisions that we've taken our eyes off external influences and those who are seeking to interfere with the election being so close . any small variation in the number of votes, one way or the other, could be decisive to our viewers watching on cbs in

the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the crude and crafts and these final days of campaigning for the white house. we reported on the garbage gaff at the start of the program. but there is much more on sunday at a trump rally in new york city. one of the speakers said, vice president cumberland harris has temp handlers on some voters. it's a, it fits a pattern of massage and instict comments. donald trump is known for the latest installment. came yesterday at the trunk rally. the former president describe the conversation that he claims he had with his staff about women take unless my people to be about 4 weeks ago, i would say no. i want to protect the people i want to protect the women of our country. i want to protect the women. sure. please don't say that why they said, we think it's we think it's very inappropriate for you to say so why i'm president, i want to protect the women of our country. the

place is there, i just think it's inappropriate theaters pay these guys a lot of money can you believe? and i said, well, i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. i've got to protect them. i'm going to protect them from migraines coming in. i'm going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit a hit us with missiles and lots of other things. alright, i'm doing, you know, by julian miller colored with the german council on foreign relations. he focuses on the us and trans atlantic relations. he's the man to talk to right now. joining us going to have you on the program, donald trump, he has never pulled well with women voters. i mean his campaign advisors, they are apparently aware of that. trump doesn't seem to care too much about it. can he continued to alienate female voters and still when this election next tuesday as well. going to be with you again. and i think that the important numbers

are obviously the gender gap till you know, the difference between the female lead and the male lead. so the important question really is, is whether that gap or that alienation of fema voters is as destructive to his companion success. then the attraction that he has with no voters. it's actually interesting the numbers that we see currently indicate that it's pretty close to the numbers that we saw a 2016. so he has about a 10 point lead with males and a 10 point, a disadvantage with women. so they sort of equalize the age of each other out. but it's certainly a question that we'll, we'll see the result on tuesday. you know, talking about voters according to the university of florida election lab, more than 60000000 people have already voted in early voting. i mean that smashes the early voter turnout record that we saw set back in 2020. what did you read into this? but i think historically,

the democrats used to be the ones that went to the pulse early and the numbers that we're seeing at the moment indicate that that's not the case. this time around early voting numbers are up on both sides of the political spectrum. and uh, the traditional rule that high border turn out usually favors the democrats, i think, with, with trump on the bell. it is not necessarily the case. you see that on a lot of folks into the political debate, again that have previously not promoted. so it's going to be, it's very hard to make predictions on how voter turnout, including early voting is, is affecting the results in this presidential election when it's too about absentee ballots. you know, i spoke with, with my local election commission in north carolina this week. i was told that they've had the increased security opposing places of the election offices. they told me that verbal and physical threats had been made. i mean,

do you expect violence after election day, regardless of the result or so i think we don't see another generally 6, like we saw in the aftermath of the last presidential election for a variety of reasons. i think that 1st of all, the biden administration is in power. so you see the national guard being under the control of providing administration and cautions have been you know, taking place in, in washington dc itself. however, it's not unlikely that you see something similar on the regional level. uh, it depends a lot on how close the election is going to be. uh and how long we will have to wait until we see a final result. uh and i could see that particularly in some places where they only start counting votes from mailing pallets after the post has closed and you see a little confusion around how those numbers might change. and if they are particularly close, i mean, you know, we see that and the 2000 election, it took a couple of weeks in florida to the entry recount and then

a supreme court decisions. so if we are in a scenario like this, i think the potential for violence and civil unrest is higher. there is just irrespective of winds, dx. do you think that we could see something like a repeat of 2000 where it event this could be taken away to the supreme court to decide for those states that really matter this time around are obviously the rust belt states, previously known as a blue wall. so it's pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. so i think those are on the, on the east coast. so, you know, you see early trends on that if pennsylvania or michigan are so close that they are in the margin where you can request the recount, irrespective of who actually wins. i could see a scenario in which the election result, the final electron result, is being dragged out. it all really matters on how decisive i trump, or harris when is going to be at the end of the day. and that will then matter what

the consequences and implications. also potential recount or confusions around the numbers will look like. this is the 3rd us presidential election was donald trump as a candidate regardless of the outcome on tuesday? what have the past 8 years done to trans atlantic times? well, i would argue that trump is more of a symptom, then he is a cause of significant change within the american electric. i think already obama had the argument to say, well, what are all our for and engagements worse if you know, we could have spend all that money on bridges and roads here in the united states. so you think after the war on terror, this expansion of, of military engagements around the world, you sort of see a new economic and a foreign policy nationalism that trump, obviously is a very powerful symptom bed. and so that the biden administration has always

simplified. so to the frustration of the europeans, i think trump, yes is, is loud in its criticism of european partners and it's criticism of nato and obligations. but actually, particularly on the economic front and the foreign policy for you see quite a bit of alignment between the harris campaign and trump, much to the detriment of european allies. as i really truly latan from the german council on foreign relations journey. we appreciate your time in your analysis tonight. thank you. thanks for having me. how much of the polarization and us politics do? they really began almost a decade ago in the 2016 us presidential election. cobra russian influence deeply affected that election undermining many voters confidence that their votes, their elections were saved from foreign medley, into your sense, us authorities claim they have learned lessons and are better equipped to deal with

the threat. but they also warn that russia has not backed off, and other countries are also trying their hand it bending the will of us voters. when right wing commentator tim pool announced just over a week ago, 2 was 2000000 followers that he was stepping back from his successful youtube show . he said it was for personal reasons. so with that being said, it's kind of the weirdest way to announce that i'm pursuing, you know, my family life to the best of my abilities. and i would many speculated that the real reason have something to do with the recent department of justice investigation, claiming that he was being paid by russia to spread pro trump this information. the indictment alleges that russia funneled $10000000.00 to $3.00 political commentators, one of them assumed to be pul, laundered through us base shell company without disclosing to them that the funding was for him a a. so what do you say it's part of moscow's effort to influence the 2024 election, which they say has become more sophisticated since its 1st major efforts in 2016.

although efforts to counter interference have also improved in 2024 in my opinion. and we have a good reason to be a bit more domestic, so to speak. the 1st has been and you know, with smaller than in 2016. and the key reason is, is because the, basically you read the performance on the side of american intelligence agencies as well as been responsibility for relevant media, oregon. still it proves to be a game of cat and mouse, while the department of justice managed to shut down the phone, the company funneling moscow's money to $10.00 pool. russia continues to generate a flood of posts from fake accounts on social media platforms, such as ex, instagram and tick tock aimed at us voters watch at the us. intelligence community also says to other foreign powers or targeting us is upcoming election. iran and china hotel, iran appears to be focusing its efforts at preventing from, from taking office, targeting particular groups, through fake websites such as efram majority in debt, black voters, and not our wor, aimed at veterans. china,

according to us intelligence does not appear to have a preference in the presidential election, but it's focusing efforts on, on sitting down valid politicians with into china. produce some to investigators expose the chinese linked online campaign against marsher blackwell. republican congresswoman is aggressive, antique china stands has garnered national attention. we're going to have to break a lot more china to save america. the beijing has insisted that it does not intend to and will not interfere in the us selection. while us national security officials have prepared for the threat for an meddling, they haven't ruled out new methods that may only come to light after the votes are cast. what's your take a little deeper into this, i'm joined by i'm on the chair and she's the host of the popular podcast. beg to differ long, and it's good to have you with this. i dare say that most americans have heard

about russia's past efforts to interfere in us selections. but the threat from china has not been on the radar of a lot of voters. is china interested in swing, at the outcomes of us selections the same way that russia has been and still is. so you're absolutely right that this has gone comparatively little attention to this year. i guess americans are so focused on our own internal divisions that we have taken our eyes off external influences and those who are seeking to interfere . but yes, china is interfering in the election as a or attempting to um, as, as russia is. but uh, but it's unclear how effective that will be. even in 2016, the year that rushes efforts for the most flamboyant. it's hard to say that it had a measurable impact on actual voters,

very hard to measure. and everyone is expecting the election this time around to be very close. and if that is the case, mean if, if the pulled numbers are reliable, theoretically, then it wouldn't take much to sway a relatively small number of voters and then sway the entire outcome of the boat. what? it's a fair point and look through you. if you look at the broad sweep of civilizations, whenever one country has been successful and intervening in the affairs of another, it's almost always because of the internal divisions in the 1st country. so when things are oh with landed in south america, you know that the inc goes, were already at war with one another. and that's why he was so able to conquer it. it's, it's a very old story and it's something that we, americans don't pay enough attention to. we tend to be so insular. we're surrounded

by oceans and we think we're involved wearable. but of course, our internal divisions are a source of weak this and something that ext uh, other nations will seek to exploit. and of course, you're right with thing being with the election being so close any a small variation in the number of votes, one way or the other, could be decisive. even the polarization of politics in washington means that the us senate, for example, takes too much time to approve ambassador appointments. with that in mind, i want you to take a listen to what us secretary of state anthony, blinking told members of congress about what is or perhaps is not happening. take a list system is broken. it's damaging. our diplomacy is undermining our competitors. is this incentivizing public service? and of course, it's all feeds our competitors, false narratives of our decline and division even speaking to the board service, they're not congress,

but the issue is remains trust and they lack there of in the system. that's what he's talking about. what does a foreign countries are just trying to? what do they get from that that, that lack of trust in the system to yes. what their, the goal of autocracies is to convince people in their own societies that democracies don't work better than autocracies. that the democracies of the world are fatally flawed, cannot get anything done. our region by disputes internally don't really have significant freedoms that are in excess of what people get, you know, talk receives. and so that is their goal to, to discredit the democratic world and, and unfortunately when we are tied up and not fighting one another, it does play into that narrative for them that we are just functional. of course,

it isn't true, even with all of our problems, people around the world still struggle to come to the free and democratic world and, and try and leave countries like china and russia. but due to a perception does matter. and i think particularly inside the united states, that there is this perception that, that we drop the ball when it, when it comes to, to projecting this, this, this power. how confident are you that us authorities are doing a good enough job when it comes to uncovering and preventing for an interference? and of course, most importantly, that they are presenting for in meddling in elections as well. i'm afraid that very much depends upon who is elected on tuesday or however long it takes to determine the outcome. unfortunately, donald trump has welcomed foreign interference in our elections as long as it

benefited him. and so that, you know, i would not expect that to change. there are trump supporters who have a warranty shirts saying that they would prefer putting uh to biden, that was last time around. so um yeah, that it, it very much depends. i would say if uh, if comma harris is elected, i think you will see a lot more of the kind of traditional concern about for an interference and with trump is elected. then less of that 15 seconds. do you dare to make a prediction of who's going to wait on tuesday? oh, why not? how go out on a limb and say that i do think harris will win by a hair just because of the strength of the female boat this time around, via somebody's willing to take a stand there. we'll take that with the chair and who's the broadcast. beg to differ and only we appreciate you being on the show and we'll be in touch. maybe we

can talk next week after election day, we'll see what happens. thank you. all right, this is donald trump, a fascist, his former chief of staff says, so he says that truck was envious of the power that at all fiddler had. and this was reason enough for dw, as washington bureau chief municipal to speak with his story and timothy, right? back the author of takeover, hitler's final rise to pub, the timothy rubbing. thank you so much for taking time to speak with the w. happy to be here. there's a huge debate here in the united states, whether it is correct to call the trump, or compare donald trump is either a fiddler. would you say to that? i think there are fascist stick pastures. but i don't know if i would go as far to identify someone specifically as a fascist, the single most of to my mind,

a similar identifier is an absolute blindness to any kind of defeat. any thing that doesn't fit into into your world view of hitler was astonishing you. we went from one catastrophe to another, from one to seek to another. he ran in the presidential election of 1932. he lost by 6000000 votes and you know what? he did, he claimed election fraud and he took so he went to court to have the election result overturn. what else do you see in him? was a fascist tendency tendency. trump did say he would be dictator for one day. i'm on day one and he identifies that as a modality for governance and rule, which we've known for millennia, there, you know, the storage area and rules rulers and you know, hitler,

hitler definitely embrace that. and i think trump embrace of that authoritarian rule that the vengeance of all of that can issue is the most unsettling part of it. but i think this inherent view that democratic processes are not the best way to run a country is certainly unquestionably a key fascist a trait. the hitler himself declared that he was going, he vowed to destroy democracy through democratic process. he had to appear in court as a witness in another is a trial and 19th, september 1930. and his lawyer basically said this to the judge that he was out to destroy democracy for democratic process. the judge said so, but through constitutional processes, hitler gave you one or answer ya full is,

this is one of the biggest 3 of us, a trump administration, that he really will undermine the democratic structure here in the united states. i personally am concerned, we do have guard rails, i've, i've, i've, i've studied, has had many scholars regard rules that existed for the, for the weimar republic. and, but it's how these constitutional protections can be protected, how resilient they can be against a, you know, i, determined autocrat. most i will remind you of is that, you know, of hitler came to power in 1933. um the joseph of google's, his joe said he said once we're in office, he said they're going to have to drag us out as corpses. and in april of

1945, that's exactly what happened was the only way they ended this, that government, i think for the us constitution for all the protections that are there, it's only as strong. it's only as resilient as the people were there to protect it . the weimar republic wasn't that old compared to the united states is the united states, better equipped to fight to fight a tax and to be overturned as the one the republic has been? peter gay, one said the weimar republic died twice. it was murdered and it committed suicide. we all know who committed the murder that was clear. but the sewage state suicide by a constitutional democracy is a much more complicated process. and there, it really comes down to the electorate to the voters and, or if there's,

you know, anything a, we look we, we lived in a, in a country con, protected by 1st amendment rights. freedom of speech. donald trump has the right to say within limits anything that he wishes, as, as you know, i'm appalling as it might be to me, what i don't understand is that, you know, 50 percent of the americans are close to 50 percent, possibly 51 percent, will see you are, are willing to embrace this, this is going back to the hitler trump comparison and they've laid out their agenda for everyone to see out of hitler was one of the few politicians who kept his campaign promises to risk degree. um, let's hope that mr. trump doesnt keep all of his campaign promises, and we don't see the getting being rolled out if he,

if he whips. thank you so much. okay, thank you so much. you have a good time or lucky it's october 31st. it's halloween. that means time. do trick or treat, no one forgot that it. transylvania university in the us state of kentucky. hundreds of jackal leonard are on display on campus. the pumpkins will be used as animal father after halloween goes away for another year of the day continues on line. your plan is on x, also known as twitter, and on youtube dw news. you can follow the social media ever and got tv. i remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day of to be the 1st day of november. we'll see you then if the,

let's view. tell here we are happy that we are boxing the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news african next on d w into the conflicts own with tim sebastian. as the warning ukraine brings ever more death and destruction key european officials fail

moscow is now preparing for contact with the west. i guess this week goes along with that view. these tougher roll for the heads of his phone using television service. but he still believes russia can lose conflict in 16 minutes on dw, the, the thing was like a stepping point to get a price quote you into that warranty. once it finishes, now you have a certificate from crane. you can just go back to somewhere else. coverage the more people than ever on the move in search of, of best in life. so why do i want to go back tonight? yeah. like, i don't have any reason. there's no reason best. nothing for me this. yeah. do me something that is coming very, very soon we know when the
