every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the race for the white house heats up between joe biden and donald trump in battleground states with results yet to be called the 3 day after the election. as candidates clash over the results with trump's come flaming widespread fraud and starting legal action. if you count the legal votes easily when the count is truly shannon harrison i will be declared the winner it's a corrupt system democracy sometimes missing. we discuss with guests what this election may have told us. so does it want to stop the killing others it's on

if you tell me to get congress to go for that because it's a joke every night if i have to take a walk to the boards our system of voting is the worst we also say that in the united states constitution voting is never mentioned at all. welcome to our city international this friday my name is nicky aaron and no watching on t.v. special coverage of the 2020 u.s. presidential election well it's certainly been a nail biter as vote counting resumed in case states to decide the outcome of this election the choice hangs in the balance with just a few states left to cool both candidates claiming they'll see the white house. it's been 3 days since the election and counting continues in best battleground

states to determine the next u.s. president nevada georgia pennsylvania and north carolina are all yet to be called well let's take a closer look at how things stand joe biden still secures a $264.00 electors as if you include arizona which many say is too early to call if it goes blue though that means he just needs 6 more electoral votes to reach the magic 270 for victory donald trump on the other hand currently stands at 240. it's a very close race but across battleground states with both candidates closing gaps overnight in pennsylvania biden is trailing by just under $49000.00 votes while in nevada the former v.p. is leading by less than one percent and georgia both candidates are currently in a virtual tie the race in north carolina is so far too close to call.

let's look at the pathways to power for both candidates trumps facing a narrow road to victory he will have to win all 4 of the remaining states excluding arizona which we mentioned earlier has been called by some for by some media for biden i mean while the former vice president needs only to capture one more state. the election spouse tension across the country with voters on both sides clashing over the results pennsylvania is now key and groups of pro and anti trump supporters gathered outside of philadelphia votes tabulation site and on thursday trying supporters question counts that favored joe biden following the president's claim to fraud in the state voting process by jim backus according for every vote to be counted candidates have clashed on the issue. if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. the election from us in america vote is sacred.

it's how people of this nation express their will. it is the will of the voters no one not anything else that chooses the president of united states of america this tremendous litigation going on and this is a case where they're trying to steal an election they're trying to rig an election each ballot must be counted. and that's what we're going to see going through now and that's how it should be our goal is to defend the integrity of the election and will not allow the corruption to steal such an important election or any election for that matter it's a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they aren't. well aussies were aghast you have joins me in the studio now good morning to you thank you for coming in more on the u.s. political elite radio does pride itself on its democratic system do you think that now appears to have glitches. well it's certainly being stress tested you have

trump firing away lawsuits like fireworks you have biden insisting that everything's fine when obviously it isn't fun let's not underestimate the task at hand a 160000000 votes that need to be counted in in a matter of days many of them arriving late by mail you know in the mail screwing things up so it is a very difficult task nevertheless you have all these legal proceedings now taking you to taking effect you have people being blocked from attending vote counting you have people saying that others shouldn't be at this count you have mail arriving days after the election so many ballots lost and at the end of the day trump says that all these 1000000 votes are fraud they're fraud because they can't be verified according to him and they can easily be fakes democratic officials never

believe they could win this election honestly i really believe that that's why they did the mail in ballots where this tremendous corruption and fraud going on that's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i get is usually even determine whether they're eligible or should go to the. what makes it so much worse is is all the waiting i mean you can you can see for yourself people's nerves are frayed people are on the edge yet nevada can continue counting votes until november 12th george it'll 20 the 20th pennsylvania for 20 days after the election so there's no certainty either for when we can see the results guaranteed there's all of that confusion but. for now joe biden seems to be sure that he's going to do it and he has alluded the american system as the best in the world.

democracy sometimes messy sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance the envy of the world. not 100 percent sure the people will agree with him about the envy of the world for 240 years we we haven't seen the violence the protests that have gripped the united states the that are happening now the violence in the streets you know people people taking it out physically on the supporters of the other side because of the color of the hat that they're wearing the t. shirt slogan that they had on the 120000 mail in ballots have been lost but failed to deliver on time after the election and this is just what's been confirmed baps even more votes have gone missing. there is there isn't all that

much to envy right now nevertheless all these people out in the streets the this is the worst case scenario that the people who are out in the streets and the both sides a starting to feel cheated one side because trump says that you know all this mail in his is fraud and the other side because they see the president of the united states interfering in the election and trying to wrest advantage out of.

live. live live . what's happening now is. screaming and shouting yes this is good strategy politically in the future will you be able to say well we made you know a lot of noise about this when when it happened initially so when matters go to the supreme court to local courts they'll be able to say that you know we were average from the start about this while it's a good strategy politically we can see what it student of the social fabric of the united states a nation more divided now than it is been ever in living memory so if there is

a huge amount of stress on the system in the united states or in the people of the united states who are living not in the best of times to put it lightly with the with the economy with the pandemic and now all this lead that litigation with with trump trump's latest new suits being about philadelphia and republican election monitors being barred from from witnessing and for monitoring counting the democrats who who were doing it said that there's no reason for them to be there you know everything's already being translated by webcams. it would have been fired if one candidate had won out prize of the election had been as the polls predicted but you know you know what polls are worth nowadays

that it be a biden blowout if that had happened obviously there would have been a win a trumpet had no avenue to protest to. to debate the results this is perhaps the worst case scenario scenario in which both candidates a claim in the they have a pathway to victory that they're the ones being cheated laying the stage for a protracted. battle of more confusion political uncertainty more division will of which the united states doesn't need and trump has already promised that the election will be decided in the supreme court. thank you for coming and it paints a rather grim picture in the run up to new year doesn't it thanks again now despite the warning of legal action several election commissions in america have insisted that every valid ballot was counted and accurately reported international observers have also said the vote proceeded lawfully slums donald trump's

allegations of fraud saying it damages public trust in democratic institutions where human rights lawyer eric surats can believe the president will fight tooth and nail to stay in the oval office. i think it's there are advantages and disadvantages to a extended legal. battle if you will i think that yes if the matter is not resolved by inauguration day that seems to be to create a constitutional crisis in the united states however if the supreme court is quite aware of when an operational day they set their briefing schedules they will eventually irrigates that will. and will issue the appropriate orders but donald trump is fighting for his life he knows he's going to be prosecuted criminally when he's released from the presidency and if not he wants to stay on

this is very personal to him however the supreme court can hear the matter and hear in a quick way but i wouldn't be surprised if they want to throw that kind of curveball into it and make everyone have to hold their breath and be plugged into the drama into january but i suspect that the matter will move much quicker and i believe that it will have the president elect. the election process in the u.s. seems even more complicated when it comes to the vote counting along with it goes quest at the question of question so the reporting of results in some states in addition it's also necessary to count on the theoretical possibility of a tie we discussed all the complexities with guests in a panel. look

at what the prison is doing legally and the places they're trying to intercede and serve and so if they want to stop the county other states want to continue county to get a concrete standard for that and as what it was a after shelby reed holder in 2014 will have to dilute it voting rights we need to sit with the stories we're going to who the president is the authorized to make his 5 voting rights act to have national standards only legends recovery public from the 5 years since the law and the what i was saying that metastasized into this year's election now i don't know what about that why don't we have one uniform federal law that says when you're voting for president maybe put it on a separate take it i'm not sure how this will work but why don't we have one federal law for that the question is what you're asking is a great question there's a better question joe which i think transcends this why is it in the year 2020 when we can map the geno we still have this archaic system which i think speaks to something which is which makes it right and right if for any kind of shenanigans we

know so much about how the vote can be stolen we had terrible days of cold tags and literacy tests in our system of voting is the worst me also say that in the united states constitution voting is never mentioned at all there's hardly anything you sound like durgin that sort of thing they never got around to it so the question we have to ask is how is that right now that we see that we have something as archaic and as stupid as. he seems i think it's really it's gotten to him if this is not the donald trump they were used to this is not the same fire and brimstone and bob how did you take it down to what degree. it will say it was embarrassing it was the sad final chapter to a set chapter in american history that something you're. we're on an internet war we're making it's a choice you want over a broken beat him parts of it almost everything you said in that speech was

a lot older stay there for a little moment you find yourself getting angry a bit of the. can down the. whole call understanding that there's no power or. what you want joe biden to drive you home from the airport let me just talk about something right now when you put all this is side this is this says either something about is good or bad when we have a man but i'm not even sure knows where he is and he is most probably what we see is correct going to be sworn in as the president and i further predict since since we're predicting he will serve my term shorter than william henry harrison of $31.00 days when kamel harris will be removed immediately something will happen joel will maybe perhaps that aneurism god forbid something will pop up maybe coded maybe 8 maybe senescence but he will be moved because if you think of anybody

thinks that joe biden is going to be if he is the he is the intended get it and you think that well my friend happy birthday q you were born yesterday robert can you respond to that do you think that there is a likely i've heard from a lot of people on both sides who they all seem to believe that biden will not serve his entire 1st term i mean and i hear from democrats who say that the time with me i hear from republicans who say it would be a scandal but i've heard very few people disagree with that idea do you disagree with. of course i disagree with that idea or still by the term i think it's important that he does because he's a throwback to the era oh thanks well we were not governing in a 51 to 49 country where we were we have bipartisan agreement we did big things to big big projects of that nature we put people on the moon we won cold war 2 we liberated western civilization that's what america used to do when we worked across party lines. says

a sham the fix is in the fix he's been in from the beginning all these states so you know just going around the voter and changing the voting rules claiming that it's because of kovi setting up this scenario where you think they can't finish counting the votes in georgia or north carolina or whatever they're just they're just waiting they're coordinating with the biden people and they're just waiting to see how they're going to do this we all know it's a joke every night after night after that i sit there and i watch the big boards you know whether it's on c.n.n. or wherever it is and guess why the numbers more votes of come in in this state where votes have come in and that standing guess what biden picked up close trumps lead is evaporating without a surprise this is really a travesty what you guys say is the actual role of the press in these elections i mean are we supposed to be the observers of the process because these days it does seem like the media wields so much power that it could actually steer

perception steer the public's and ultimately steer the election itself then. yeah absolutely you know we're supposed to be in the media the observer the impartial observer would also be the influence or in this case we've moved even past that to become the decider in fact i were in the arena is full combatants this is something almost unique to the presidency i mean the uncomfortable position of being a number trump or somebody who thinks the president should be defeated hopefully. is defeated and yet finds themselves very sympathetic to the president when he complains about the media because steve is right my friend steve is right the president has got an unfair shake from this media and i think it's all people out there like me who don't think doll terms but a good president but we hate it that we have to defend the guy against an unfair media. wrangling on the elections overshadowed another heated race in the country both parties are still grappling for seats in congress

in the days ahead of the vote democrats spent large sums on campaigning in an attempt to paint both the house and senate. did not happen in the house is expected to stay in the hands of the democrats although results are still trickling in 218 seats on needed to win a majority so far we can see the democrats on $208.00 on the republicans with $193.00 some experts calculate the blue majority will be finished this year so far they're down at least 6 incumbents there's also a tussle for the senate though democrats need to gain 4 seats to flip control of the upper house it looks increasingly unlikely as the republicans already won 48 seats and have been leading in 3 of the remaining 4 races to get to 50 election integrity activist and independent journalist nico householders why the so-called blue wave promised by democrats didn't happen. that stage was set unfortunately prior to the general election because well the candidates that i thought could beat

trump which would include gabbert bernie sanders and i would even argue andrew yang those aren't the ones who are allowed to go up against trump and the moment that they selected the one of the mill democrat in joe biden who's basically been by our standards a republican who is pro fact fracking just like trump who can be a little bit more hawkish on foreign policy than trump then you are setting the stage for walk a fine will go will have to vote in support base awful party lines because that's seemingly where at least the democrats are demanding we vote on and by that it's by extension you want to have republicans of course staying loyal in most cases to donald trump but the focus on the u.s. presidential fight electoral surprises have gone under the radar.

for. oh my heart hurt anyone else if you're brave and hold them accountable and fight hard to make sure these was easy and this was the right to practice in the town do

not steal anything away from here it's proving to be your 1st district senator she was born and raised here in delaware and she. was this the channel r.t. spanish spoke with former bolivian president evo morales who was ousted last year i made claims of electoral fraud were all those questions the double standards in view of the current electoral chaos in the us. when the right wing is lose they make accusations of electoral fraud now i hear in the media that trump is talking about fraudulent elections in the united states so why then does he not turn to luis el magro the head of the organization of american states after all the oas know like no one else how to organize coups the oas is always

watching everything that happens in latin america but what are luis l. magro and the oas doing if they're not watching the us elections americans go to elections and vote but unfortunately the country is ruled by neither the people nor the president selected by them no matter what party in fact everything is ruled by transnational companies capitalism entrepreneurs this is a huge difference from the change that is taking place in bolivia in the us perhaps more radical fascist racists are right forces will win over more moderate right forces that's the whole difference. her mind of the story dominating our rundown this friday the outcome of the us presidential election hangs in the balance with a number of states yet to be called democratic nominee joe biden flushed up 264 electoral votes leaving him just a thick shy of the presidency donald trump has 240 both candidates are virtually

tied in georgia while biden is leading slightly another chunk of the head in pennsylvania where across the all the latest results of the county continue.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is truth what is faith.

in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. please the u.s. has a history complicated and heated presidential election what's different this time is that the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus spend. the rest of them to the level of civil unrest sparked by the death of george floyd and the lives of the radical groups on both sides of the

political spectrum. right now we're breaking a city ordinance. say. these groups attract barely a week members who have taken to the streets making protests look like full scale what you see here is only a taste of what's about to happen this demonstrates our sometimes heavily armed and they are not afraid of violence or law enforcement. if you want a war let it begin with us. we're going to meet those groups and their leaders to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe the students for this country.

hello and welcome the cross not gropings or considered i'm peter lavelle it was supposed to be a landslide we were told a blue wave aligns it didn't happen that way oh the poles were again wildly wrong may still lose this phone but can they claim trump is a fluke or an aberration stand and what to expect next. thank you. crossed out the election and more i'm joined by my guest lionel in new york he is a legal and media analyst in las vegas we have isabel she is an independent journalist and co-host of the convo couch and in budapest we crossed to george samueli he is an author and a you tuber at the gavel or across titles in effect that means you can jump in

anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's get started is going to our guest in las vegas here were you know everybody's talking about the legitimacy of this counting of the ballots here and i think a lot of as and i'm looking at our panel here we all kind of expected this to happen this is an intentional disaster but i don't see any really good way out because there isn't a way for any kind of compromise and and i think it's going to be a very alienating experience i'd like to point out to our viewers here that as of now donald trump got 2000000 more votes than hillary clinton did in 2016 the long term is not a fluke he's not an aberration and the people that like him are neither either so what's your assessment as we are in this very fluid situation yeah i mean i just i i feel like america is really looking like a disaster to the rest of the world and you can tell me by being an outsider the

way the mainstream media.
