this is the time. after 4 days of way joe biden claims victory to become the $46.00 us president projections in the vote. threshold. the republican. rejection of the results.

live from moscow this is r t international welcome to the program after a tense wait joe biden is on course to become the $46.00 president of the united states but. the election was rigged readying all suits in the coming week r.t. america has been sworn in for us how it came to be. joe biden has officially become the president elect for the united states it was saturday when that announcement was made by a number of media organizations after biden secured more than 270 electoral votes enough to put him over the top he spoke in wilmington delaware tonight alongside the 1st vice president of the united states come all the harris' 1st woman ever to

ascend to the position of vice president here's what harry had to say in introducing the new president have elected a president who represents the best and. a leader the world will respect and our children will look up to a commander in chief will respect our troops and keep our country safe and a president on american the new president elect biden took to the stage tonight talk about the need for the nation to heal to come together and to be ready to move into a new chapter. joe biden becomes the oldest person ever to be elected president of the united states 5 days after voting 1st close to hear some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. they've delivered a clear victory a convention victory a victory. for we the people we've won with the most groups

ever cash in presidential ticket and the history of the nation 74 you. know obviously this call doesn't come without controversy as i said a number of media organizations made this call but it doesn't officially become official until the vote is certified across the united states in 50 different states and that won't happen over the course of a number of days in the meantime on monday the trump campaign continues to push against this and will file a number of lawsuits in court including in michigan in pennsylvania. in arizona in nevada in all of those states the president's team is claiming there has been rampant and widespread voter fraud in the fraud to actually overturn the election here's what the president had to say tonight we all know why joe biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help

him they don't want the truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over now to be clear it's very difficult to have enough of these cases to be able to actually overturn the results of an election because it's more than just being able to prove fraud you would also have to be able to prove that there was enough fraud to actually change the outcome of the election and how far does it go does it go all the way to the u.s. supreme court in each one of these individual states that remains to be seen but in the meantime it seems that president trump is not yet conceding the race to president elect biden we should also mention that as these cases go forward there is some precedent for this back in the year 2000 when al gore and george w. bush ran against each other there was only one state that was ultimately contested that was the state of florida that race went on for 37 days while the new ballots were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of these different court challenges across the nation i'm dense one moment senator so

mark let's play spying in the oval office crones of his supporters erupted in celebration flooding donald trump's home state of new york tens of thousands jubilantly took to the streets elsewhere in the country to from us a truce on the east coast to california in the way supporters of trump also came out of claiming the election was a fraud and demanding a recount crowds gathered in florida where the incumbent prevailed and even in california widely viewed as a democrat. while those rallies were largely peaceful in luntz michigan things turned ugly when the opposing sides minutes. scuffles broke out involving groups of people who were both armed more than 500 from supporters had gathered wearing my house and chanting slogans such as for years our teeth on the hawkins join me in the studio to discuss the current up the

sphere in the united. nation whatever the result in the end of the day would wake up disappointed when they read the news on the social media and that's reflected by the protests we've seen over the streets across many cities of america both pro trumpet and celebrating baden's victory and also reflected in the polling numbers though don't forget that although biden won the majority of electoral college votes the popular vote was much closer around 75000000 for biden to 71000000 for trumbo thread yeah indeed be the highest amount for any president and the 2nd highest amount for trump so this was not a landslide victory as you quite rightly said a blue wave of democrat senators and congressmen as well also failed to materialise for the democrats a boy even though remains optimistic and was adamant that he was a president that can unite these divisions this was what he had to say i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. who doesn't see red states

and blue states always sees the united states the bible tells us to every day there is a season a time to build a time to rebut a time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time get here on america i do so on the goal the right words here are the time when deficient is right but it's a tough task ahead it is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority republican senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take place take the seats there. clear consensus which people were hoping for which the poll numbers working for hasn't materialized what role the has materialized is the scale of polarization in us domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides. them 4 years ago in the 26 the election and this election as they very much haven't gone away and ironically as you said all

the right words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for many american listeners because we've heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent president donald trump now it's time for america to bind the divisions have to get again. republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one united people coming together of course is a particularly tough task given factors we should beyond bottle drops all job on to control the coronavirus pandemic how to handle that one key issue which the election was very hotly foretell which continues to polarize economic policy tax policy america's image abroad america's foreign policy these are all issues which do divide americans and which will continue to pose a challenge for this presidency and trump's campaign of course claims that the

media in particular has been stoking these for many years and he believes that the only way he can get justice team trump and get justice is in the courts yeah absolutely i mean there's been a whole. host of allegations from trump's campaign. they say that a lot of the votes haven't been officially counted officially certified especially in those key swing states which have been making headlines over the last few days. trump's supporters claim that observers were allegedly not allowed into the stations to properly monitor the vote counting process. of diseased voters were counted in favor of by a lot of these already have been debunked. by officials but nevertheless he is taking legal action litigation in many of those key states that's going to head off into next year. i mean in one way who can blame them because again going back to 4 years ago to the 26th election the democrats there were also quite sore losers i mean hillary clinton was adamant that the election was stolen from that's exactly

the right words and that resulted in 4 years of nearly 4 years of investigations and millions of taxpayers' dollars seeking to find that link between trump and rush of proving that collusion and that of course resulted in no evidence of such thing at all now ironically we see a complete role reversal here with the republicans with trump claiming the election was stolen from them and trumps presidency of course would of battle hardened him and sought him out to fight these battles because of these allegations over the last few years. as we said remains optimistic that the us. of how this election was conducted can very much show the world how it's done tonight the whole world is watching america and i believe that our brand america's a beacon for the blow we're not only we will lead not only by the example of our pa but by the power of our example most of the world which has been watching this election closely world leaders which expressed

a lot of concern over the last few days of a constitutional crisis seeking to kabul sides looking at the protests the litigation the quart bottles which are due to go in well certainly until the end of this year probably well into next year as well they'll be looking at this and. thinking this is a slightly different picture than the one as biden is presenting daniel hawkins breaking done the situation with me earlier we have also been discussing with guess whether america will come together as joe biden said in his acceptance speech or whether the divisions are not too deep. with trump's election there were 4 years of accusations that the russians had helped him become elected it was 4 years and i think around $30000000.00 of taxpayer money was spent investigating those allegations which as we all know have come to nothing now in 2020 we actually have video footage of things like ballots arriving in unmarked events and people correcting ballots which you were not just allowed to do so there's

a lot more evidence of voter fraud than there ever was for in foreign interference in the 26000 election and i hope as to not be totally hypocrites that the people who are all upset about electorate election integrity when donald trump was elected have those same concerns right now you know this is nothing new i come from chicago i was a suburban chicago police officer but in chicago in cook county from the time that i was a child there was always talk. for our people voting and things like that the united states really needs to get a handle on our voting system and is there fraud in our in this system purely from everything i'm seeing there are some problems i know the f.b.i. has to go showing this is going to play out in the courts as a law enforcement officer it's very frustrating but what i'm more concerned about is that with day to day safety in our cities and the longer this plays out and

the more tense people become the more dangerous it becomes for our citizens the more dangerous it becomes our business and of course the more dangerous it becomes for american law enforcement when the left leaning media is talking about unity dest their code for if you disagree with those shut up it's not real unity at all all that's going to happen is the people who feel left out or silenced by the media or by college campuses or whatever those people and their views are going to fester and become more radical there's going to be a lot of unrest on both sides because this is not. heeled country this is a divided country that has been actively divided by the democratic and republican parties dead bird 2 groups have been actively and intentionally isolated so that they don't communicate so they don't try to find compromise they don't try to find concord and instead try to view each other to view anyone who disagrees with them as an absolute enemy what we've seen from the d.n.c. in arms the have been behaviors that are corrosive to democracy and corrosive to a polite society into

a civil society so i do believe we are in for several more years of major political unrest. well during his 4 years in the white house donald trump received on president and scrutiny from the us establishment media with some even labeling him the most dangerous president ever or senior correspondent in iraq as the if however it ends the election trump will go down in history has vowed to drain the swamp build the wall and make america great again they'll remember him what they'll write about him will depend on the book the author the perspective if they love him or hate it he's the greatest failure in the history of the united states and the worst we're president is america has ever had. the worst and most dangerous president where are you in 2070 when we had the worst president i would even argue that he is the worst worst president in american history he's the worst president the

country's ever had 4 years of trouble was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents for it was a tom what grown ups behave like children in the white house and congress in the streets todd when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed and focused entirely on everything that they despised about one another. the $252.00 congressional votes under trump's presidency $104.00 resulted in disputes and clashes some of the initiatives that congress voted on would to block trumps initiatives they voted to prevent votes on things that trump wanted and we're not talking here about things like the wall or deporting illegal migrants we're talking about politicians who supported trump's ideas like pulling out of the iran nuclear deal when he was

a businessman suddenly reversing their positions when he became president seemingly out of spite i believe iran will not change and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions well ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power at this time and this place for so many reasons pulling out precipitously without our allies involved does not achieve any of the goals we need to achieve and hurts americans in different ways but politics is politics right they fought under obama too if a little less nothing new about the media then specifically them losing their mobs and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window. digging up tax records or leaking calls to even investigating trump's foreign ties it's journalism that's what journalists do it's normal no what they outdid

themselves on is outright and somewhat petty smear campaigns about how awful trump is for drinking too much diet coke about how much of a cheat trump is that golf about how bad he is at it about how his own wife doesn't want to hold his hand all cheap all dirty and for trump easy to dismiss you are shake do is we are fighting the fake to use people in your profession that great fake news you do. and the prison in your fake is the net result has been a collapse of trust in the media the news it isn't news when the publication has an evident interest in maligning someone. never in living memory has the establishment tried to sink a president elected by the american people from before he took office with sabotage with leaks with set ups they did everything to make people believe in the trump

russia collusion sham the kumi investigation the steel dossier about prostitutes and urination the mueller report all to make impeachment possible the impeachment of the president of the united states impeachable conduct impeachment nonetheless we should begin proceedings to impeach the president move forward with impeachment and this president there's parties on impeachment this impeachment process cost a reported $11000000.00 trying to impeach trump $32000000.00 for the mueller report countless man hours wasted and they couldn't pull it off at the end of the day trump will be remembered if differently he was a tyrannical megalomaniac a man who drank too much. look who sucks at golf and whose hands even his own wife didn't want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who rules to drain the swamp that is washington

and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future they'll agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight. against you if you're watching artsy will have more on the u.s. election how the rest of the globe is reacting to it after the break stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race is on the i mean dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to. anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we are problems are over that that's simply not true the problems were there before president trump they're not going to worry you you have grounds for the economy in the long room you're going to have huge pay for the things you're going to do we still have a problem in the united states which raises we have too many. are going to. jails are growing possessions are some of those problems are there. simply a lot you don't produce not does not stop them.

21 minutes into the program welcome back internal still reaction has been rapidly coming into joe biden's projected victory israel's prime minister welcome back and while thanking donald trump for helping seal what he called his star peace accords such as the normalization of ties with the united our emirates benjamin netanyahu called both politicians his great friends while in the e.u. leaders have generally expressed optimism that the new face to take charge of the oval office. congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the united states and to kemal a harris on her historic achievement the u.s. is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from climate change to trade and security the americans have

chosen their president congratulations joe biden and kemal a harris we have a lot to do to overcome today's challenges let's work together i look forward to future cooperation with president biden our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master of the great challenges of our time we heard from a former european m.p. political analyst currently they see biden as a friendly face for the e.u. . it probably going to send that wouldn't be very. old by then and then sold the us supreme court it will not be sold fred hiatt suit with the new administration but said he. would like to have one close relationship with by then and they would try to destroy some trade issues that. during this is the the good time but being stationed in the usa would be more of a global great event that insults nato so nato would be more active by seeing to it

in the europa league would be more students than europeans and it really would like a strong america but we see that they've tried with our to find a leader in europe in the 1st 1st taste of matter what was coming out and the american was trying to say ok we can do it without the united states senate because the european union that's i mean the europeans but the european union cannot do without a strong america and by that and by didn't bodies this is this return of america to the global scene and biden is perceived as the leader of the western world and i think that these orphans. these a president senator 3. different companies and in your wanted again to have to have a leader out of this is why they took up the bite of their hat with that i don't think they could have done that with 4 more years with trump. was during joe biden's election campaign one of us former staffers accused tonight president elect of sexual assault claims that tara reid is not backing down from biden has

constantly denied the allegations which they fucked in 1903. well as one of several women who accused the former a fee paid last year over quote uncomfortable physical contact she gave an interview to our team's political. started out with wanting me to serve drinks at an event because he liked my legs and he thought i was pretty and i was very much a believer in him in the democratic party he was talking about trying to get forward this legislation to protect women and it was really shocking to be treated you know different only objectified really what was it like for you at the time when it happened it was shattering. because i was in a no win situation. you know i said no and and rejected someone who does not like rejection and i knew in that moment and i remember you

know my whole body shaking i think i described that and how cold i felt i think i went into a kind of shock but what that was about was more that the fear he was so powerful and also that my career was over right now obviously he's much older he's got a very different image what was the joe biden like back then the image that you're discussing now is this cramped joe uncle joe kind of this paternalistic you know older frail lieven figure back then he was one of the heights of the power and he was in his early fifty's and so he was physically very strong and not frail at all i was in a no win situation. you know i said no and and rejected someone who does not like rejection and he felt like privileged enough and protected enough that he could do what he wanted to do do you think there might be

more attention given to the story now that biden will be president i don't know because our press is very right now we're in such a fragile time and things are so divided what gets me about the democratic party is our hypocrisy and i was part of that kind of cult if you will of the democrats and i'm out of it now and i really see the hypocrisy now can we stop blaming russia now and we can we actually like and look at our own electoral college system and our voting system and improve it and hopefully we can start looking at other countries as allies and you know collaborators and ways to work with rather than you know as enemies and find the next war my fear with vitamins cabinet is that we might end by spraying and other regime war. joe biden continues to deny any misconduct with his former aide tara reid his campaign also released this statement

addressing the allegations made by didn't give an interview to american media saying the incident quote never happened to sexually assault or rate. no it is not true i'm saying on a quickly it never never happened believe me women means taking the woman's claims seriously when she steps forward and then vet it look into it this is this that is true in this case as well women have a right to be heard and to the pressured rigorously investigate claims they make always a poll that principle but in the end in every case the truth is what matters in this case the truth is the claims are false. with more on the full law and from one of the most contentious elections in recent u.s. history join us again at the top of the hour my name to you know nail this or to interrupt.

this is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex court cases. out there. the person that. they are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. 23 hours of the. world of women on death row. the u.s. has a history of 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 and the rest of them to the level of civil unrest sparked by the death of george floyd and the rise of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. right there with the city ordinance. say. these groups attract very angry members who have taken to the streets make intro tasks look like full scale. be here we're going to be ok. this demonstrators are sometimes heavily armed and they are not afraid of violence or law enforcement. if you will of war let it begin with us. or go into trouble across the u.s. over the next week to meet.
