3:01 pm
a recount. live from moscow to the wall this is a national a very well welcome to the program my name's. well after a tense and often not cremona away joe biden is on cool stoop become the 42nd president of the united states but don't trump his adamant that the election was rigged to writing new suits in the coming week r.t. america spends one breaks down how it all 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
3:02 pm
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 baby 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 for. americans the new president elect biden took to the states and i talked 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 closed here's some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. they've delivered us
3:03 pm
a clear victory a convention's victory a victory. for we the people we've won with the most rooms ever cash in presidential ticket and their stupid 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 a facial 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 trunk 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
3:04 pm
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
3:05 pm
were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of these different court challenges across the nation and been swung. moments off to some outlets paced by to near full office crowds of his supporters erupted in celebration flaunting donald trump's own state of new york tens of thousands jubilantly took to the streets elsewhere in the country 2 from massachusetts on the east coast to west washington state on the west supports of trump also came out in force claiming the election was fortunate and demanding a recount crowds gathered in florida what the incumbent prevailed and even california why he would of course as a democrat party stronghold. all those rallies apparent peaceful and in lansing michigan things turned ugly when the 2 opposing sides met. well it was you can see from that scuffles broke out involving groups of people
3:06 pm
many of whom were armed more than 500 supporters that gathered wearing my hat and chanting slogans such as for years. what can the joint you know neal to discuss the current atmosphere states and. the 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 $75000000.00 for boyd to 71000000 for trumbo thread yeah indeed the highest amount for any president and the 2nd highest amount for 4 trumps 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
3:07 pm
for the democrats abroad in 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. were done to see red states and blue states always sees the united states the bible tells us to everything there is a season a time to grow a time to reprint a time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time do you hear on america. the deuce on the gold the right words here are the time when deficient is right but it's a tough task. 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 seat. 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 u.s.
3:08 pm
domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides. them 4 years ago in the 26th the election and this election as they very much haven't gone away and ironically as you said all the 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 or joe biden's 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
3:09 pm
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 trumps 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 can 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 done. bunked 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 go back to 4
3:10 pm
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 the 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 russia proving that collusion not 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 have 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 is
3:11 pm
a beacon for the growth of. we're not only we will lead not only by the example of our power but by the power of our example but 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 cobble sides looking at the protests the litigation the court battles which are due to go in world 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 is by presenting what we discussed without gas whether america will now come together as joe biden said he wanted to happen in his acceptance speech or if now the division simply run 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 engine
3:12 pm
unmarked vans and of people correcting ballots which you are not just allowed to do so there's a lot more evidence of voter fraud than there ever was before in foreign interference in the 2016 election and i hope as to not be a total 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 on. friday that people voting and things like that the united states who 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
3:13 pm
how it 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. country is a divided country that has been actively divided by the democratic and republican parties dead 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
3:14 pm
as an absolute enemy what we've seen from the d.n.c. in r.c.m. 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. called touring his 4 years in the white house donald trump received unprecedented scrutiny from the u.s. to stop respond of course mass media with some even labeling him the most dangerous president ever more and not his our senior correspondent mark asked him however it ends the election trump will go down in history his vows 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 loved him or hated him he's the greatest failure in the history of the united states you're a senator and the worst were present as america has ever had. the worst and most
3:15 pm
dangerous president where were 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 trump was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents for it was a tough one grown ups behaved like children in the white house and congress in the streets when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed on 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
3:16 pm
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 minds and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window.
3:17 pm
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 into 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
3:18 pm
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 mule 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 on this president there's partners 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
3:19 pm
a man who drank too much. look who sucks at gulf and whose hand even his own wife didn't want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who roots to drain the swamp that is washington and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future the agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight cast of that while you're watching out international have much more on the u.s. election how the rest of the globe is reacting to it of course when we're back in just a moment. so
3:20 pm
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is all off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.
3:21 pm
welcome back why international reaction has been rapidly coming into joe biden's projected victory israel's prime minister welcomed biden while thanking donald trump for helping seal what he called historic peace accords such as the normalization of ties with the united arab emirates benjamin netanyahu called both politicians his great friends while in the new leaders have generally expressed
3:22 pm
optimism about the new face to take charge of the year for office congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the united states and to come out of a harris on historic achievement the us 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 come on 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 the great challenges of our time we had from a former member of the european parliament among others who categorizes by tonight as a friendly face for the e.u. bloc. it but we're going to send that wouldn't be very. old by then and then so the u.s. supreme court it will not be sold for and that will stay the new administration but
3:23 pm
said he. would like to have one close relationship with say it by then and they will try to dissolve some trade issues that say. during this is 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 i think it in the europa league would be more students and europeans and it really would like a strong america but we've seen that they've tried with from power to find a leader in us 1st the 1st taste of macro is standing at the barrel 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 it without a strong american by that and i didn't bodies this is this return of america to the global scene and biden is perceived as the to your of the western world and i think that these orphans. these
3:24 pm
a president senator 3. different companies and in your wanted again to have to have a leader at this is why they look up to bite him that they're happy with that i don't think they could have done that with 4 more years with trump. finding during joe biden's election campaign one of his full stall physick use the now president elect of previous sexual assault claims that tariq is not backing down from biden has constantly denied the allegations which date back to 1903 miss reed was one of several women who accused the former v.p. last yet of a quote uncomfortable physical contact where she decides to give an interview to author he's party boy. 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 and the democratic party he was talking about trying to get forward this legislation to protect women and it was really shocking to be treated
3:25 pm
you know different play 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 than a 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
3:26 pm
older frail lieven figure back then he was one of the heights of this power 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 he felt like privileged enough and protected enough that he could do what he wanted to do be 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 look at our own electoral college system and our voting system and improve it and hopefully we can start looking at other countries as
3:27 pm
allies and you know collaborators and ways to work with rather than you know as enemies and find the next war my fear with fighting. catmint is that we might end by spring and other recent war joe biden continues to deny any misconduct with his former a tar reached his campaign also released a statement addressing the allegations back in may biden gave an interview to american media saying the incident quote never happened to sexually assault terror rate. it is not true i'm saying on equivocally it never never happened believe me women means taking the woman's claim seriously when she steps forward and is and then vetted look into it this is this that is true in this case as well one would have a right to be heard and to bend the pressured rigorously investigate claims they
3:28 pm
3:29 pm
this is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us. believe. that the person that. cheesiness and they are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. probably off 23 hours of the day tell me that it. will do women on death row. the way. the u.s. has a history of complicated and heated presidential what's different this time is that the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening the coronavirus and
3:30 pm
the rest of them to the level of civil unrest sparked by the george floyd and the lies of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. which is your. say. these groups attract. members who have taken to the streets making protests look like full scale. here we're going to be. busy 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 those groups and their leaders to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe the stupid for this time.
