what is happening? some migraines, on the african constant? sending me the dots, november 9th, the . this is dw news live from berlin. us president joe biden promises a peaceful transfer of power to donald trump. said many times, you can love your country only when we went to his by his 1st address since complet harris's defeat to donald trump bite and urged the nation to come together after a polarizing campaign. also coming up german chancellor, olaf schultz fires, has finance minister and promises a confidence vote in parliament after christmas. but the main opposition party demands elections asap saying there's no reason to wait

the obviously from beardsley in berlin. welcome to our program. us president joe biden has spoken to the nation for the 1st time since donald trump was declared the winner of the presidential election. by an thanks election workers across the country for ensuring the vote was fair and transparent. he prays on vice president campbell of harris for her campaign, and he promised a peaceful transfer of power to the next administration. in january. yesterday i spoke of present electronics to graduate amount of victory, and i assured him direct my entire administration to work on his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition that's with the american people deserve. yesterday i also spoke cuz vice president harris. she's been a partner,

and the public service, shred it, aspiring campaign, and everyone got to see something that i learned early on to respect so much her character. she's a backbone, like a ramrod, she has great character, true character. she gave her whole heart effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran. right. it's environment joins me now. he's a political commentator in law professor and he's coming to us from los angeles. ethan, welcome to the show. we know the democrats are eager to figure out exactly what went wrong in this election. we just heard joe biden speaking there. what responsibility does he have for this loss? well, that's interesting question. stephen, really, his responsibility goes back to allowing his team to hide what was really going on at the and before he was kind of pushed out of running for re election. that's his responsibility. but i don't think it's anything more than that and,

and on the harris campaign side, i don't know that there's a tremendous amount that we can point out that she did wrong either. look, present finding has least objectively looking at the information. did a tremendous job in his for years as president, and he was handing that off to vice president harris. but the amount of this information in misinformation that now lives due to the open nature of the internet and foreign and domestic interference campaigns seem to be over an hour in a fax and objectivity. let's assume that democrats had a kind of primary after the mid terms for someone to replace joe biden, for this campaign. would complet harris have one that primary? that is that's, that's an interesting question. we're about to find out as we head towards 2028. i mean, i look at people like california governor gavin newsome is being probably the strongest

candidate. you're gonna see a bunch of other people throw their hats in the ring and she'll have to compete in an open primary. she might win it and she might not. but looking backwards, it is really hard to know. usually a sitting vice president does have the upper hand. you said the harris didn't really do anything wrong in her campaign. is it possible that she spent too much time warning about dangers to democracy, which apparently many voters cared about less than the dangers to their pocket book . yeah, no, that that's exactly right. if there's a mistake, it's the common one that democrats have been making and recent years, which is the high idealism, which is just simply not what the average person thinks about the average person things about how do i pay the bills? how do i put the food on the table and how do i get health care? unit country that still, and especially under the, the, the soon to be new presidency really does not help the average person out to take

care of their daily lives. yes, high minded ideals are or wonderful. we're talking heads and for people, for uncomfortable positions that are, are simply not within reach for the average person who just needs to live their life. ethan, how concern should democrats be the trump has done so well with young? been an area where biden beat him in 2020 and that he's even made games with young women as well compared to 2020 to well, of course it's concerning to, to look at and think that young people really are buying in to the millennial old issue that humans phase, which is the appeal of autocrats and those who have this, the supposedly strong man image of i will take care of you and that is basically what tron donald from says. i am the only one who can save you. that's a messy,

any message which i would think that some of the more religious folks would, would reject what they buy into. and the fact that young people love that that's, that's, that's potentially dangerous. when we look back a human history, what happens when supposing strong men take over, you know, look at europe, is facing very serious issues from its east, the far east, the middle east, and those periods of human history. i typically don't. and well, for a lot of people speaking of the middle east, could you not perhaps argue the democrats left younger voters hanging by not taking their outrage over garza more seriously? well, i think that that is another class, a case of mist information in this information. i am concerned that the progressive left buys into what is essentially terrorist etiology that happens in the middle

east. come us. and it has the lar, absolutely terrorist organizations and to take their side on an issue. and it is giving aid and comfort to terrorist. i mean, the, i a total law in iran think these college protesters, so again, it's a matter of educating people. and that seems to be what, what is following to the wayside right now, is this information just information is winning, and facts and logic are loose. as we know that donald trump is beginning to put his transition team together, is future cabinet. perhaps he's just named his campaign manager. since he whiles is chief of staff. what do you see from this coming administration? will it be an administration of trump? loyalists more so than we saw in 2016, which we had some, some more, more mainstream political figures. some of them called the adults in the room. will this administration differ? yes, dramatically. and that is the fundamental difference. why i think some people are

more concerned in 2024 than 2020 twitter. excuse me. the 2016. you had paul ryan, who was a classic conservative republican in charge of the house of representatives. we had people like senator john mccain still in united states senate. they've been basically voted out those types of republicans. they pretty much don't exist anymore in the legislative branch representing the republican party. and trump himself won't be putting people like general matters in general kelly and general milly in charge. it will be people who have essentially sworn royalty to donald trump. and i think that that's a very dangerous position for this country to be in. it's in your law professor in just a few weeks. donald trump is due to be sentenced in a new york court room after his conviction. in a hush one case. what you see happening at that appearance ends with trumps other legal cases. will they just disappear?

yes, the federal cases will literally do that just disappear because he will order his new attorney general to drop those cases. and as result, you're seeing the department of justice now already starting to take action to wind down those cases worst one day. i think you were referencing the new york case. they were donald trump was found guilty of $34.00 felonies. we're not even going to wait till the end of november. there's a hearing on november 12th by just is uh, sometimes referred to as judge. murph sean, and he is going to consider that the immunity ruling from the united states supreme court. and the fact that donald trump was just re elected president may just entirely in this case now. and that hearing is on november 12th, the president, trump will not be held accountable. it looks like for anything that was happening legally over the last 4 years. right. a lot to watch in the coming days as we saw

south the consequences of the election. that's ethan berman in los angeles. thank you. thank steven. appreciate it. and let's have a quick look down some of the other stories making headlines around the world as i used to do in the present. a lot of my fortune has congratulated donald trump on his us election when i put in his 1st public remarks on the result. you said moscow was ready for dialogue with the republican presidents elect. you also praise trump for showing courage when a gunman tried to assassinate him earlier this year. in the electricity is being restored to parts of cuba after hurricane rafael, knock delta islands, power grid. it's the 2nd nationwide blackout in a month. there were no reports of fatalities in the latest storm, but the high winds and rains, damaged infrastructure and hundreds of homes australia seeking demands, social media access for children under 16 prime minister anthony alban. easy said the legislation will be introduced to parliament this year most so there will be no
