hoping to strike it rich as children are torn between galled me was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal? the immaculate deception. donald trump's advisers has branded the 2020 us presidential election. i think the president's team is working under the assumption of a 2nd take a look at the history of fraud in u.s. ballots. also speak to a former special adviser to barack obama about how different u.s. foreign policy might look and to joe biden. breakdown i think is biden prepares to take office. we do see the country going through. we're searching to be looking for a home should be tax. that's the idea of being pushed by german economists during the pandemic or add up how much workers do save actually on commuting and lunch,

brings us city of minneapolis. apparently backtracks on its pledge to defund police in the wake of george floyd's killing by throwing more money at the 4. since that it's 11 o'clock in the morning here in the russian capital. thanks for joining us here on art. we'll begin our run down in the united states where the 2020 presidential election is still far from over as counting and recounting drags on in a number of states nearly 2 weeks after the vote. and the trump administration is adamant that the president will secure still a 2nd term my own view or looking at this election that we, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. we're moving forward here. the white house knew something that there will be

a 2nd term. the media outlets have already called the election for joe biden. but donald trump has yet to concede victory, and is claiming that the election was fraudulent. his team of lawyers, legal challenges in several states and they've demanded recounts one of those is in fact underway that's in georgia where the race is too close to cool though some republicans are raising concerns saying that it's not being independently verified . 1 and tally in the 2020 presidential race in georgia 159 counties is under way the largest manual retaliate in the country's history and hand count stems from an audit required by state law. according to the law, one race must be audited by hand to ensure voting. machines are counting ballots accurately. it began at 9 am friday and is expected to be complete by 11, 59 pm, wednesday. officials in nevada working to finish counting votes in clark county. although we still have work to do, the staff will be fully engaged friday, saturday, and sunday with reconciling all of the records that we have in place for all the

votes that were cast in clark county. and now the republican party there result has filed a lawsuit looking for a recount of votes in maricopa county in a separate lawsuit. the arizona g.o.p. came together with the republican national committee and the trump campaign. the litigation is looking to block certification of the state's election until affected ballots can be looked over by hand from supporters. continuing their stop, the still rallies. thursday, demonstrators gathering in richmond, virginia. there was an even hour. i know a lot for the voters require that he was there for the president elect but were about to order michigan were about to overturn wisconsin. were about to overturn, that's over, you know, we're going to find out really where the only reason don't count your short your are in arizona or nevada because probably still in what we the u.s. postal service whistleblower who shared information about backdating ballots in pennsylvania with project there are toss was questioned by u.s.p.s.

investigators. richard hopkins says he stands by his initial claims to say that i did not repair my statements. after tweeting about the dominion voting machines, deleting votes, president trump tweeting friday morning that 2020 was a rigged election reporting for the news with rick sanchez and tossed. a sweet state officials, an independent observers, have all said there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a letter to the trumpet, ministration. u.s. election officials called the 2020 vote the most secure in u.s. history. but a recent poll indicates widespread concern among voters that mail in voting could lead to fraud. our panel of guests discuss the issue. some bureaucratic agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. that's fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. and if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. we've had other elections where there

either was allegations of fraud or enough questions of fraud that they changed the election. so let's get to the bottom of it. let's see what happens. georgia has a republican governor, a republican cheap elections officer, 2 republican, great senators, republican lieutenant governor. it's all republicans involved in this vote count. so you're telling me that republicans coronated it was fired against the president of the united states to create this, this loss that obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state debt. president obama is lecturing the american people on concession when hillary clinton and the democrats in congress never conceded to present trump, they never stop digging into him. but look out, all i'm saying is don't accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. then we should, the question is whether democrats would accept the results if we get to the point where we find big fraud. bottom line is it doesn't matter who's counting, it doesn't matter what litigation you have by law, by statute you cannot do is beyond december 8th. zimmer, 14 is

a day when the electoral college has to be and so those are 2 days i'm looking for . if anyone tries to violate those dates, now you're in a constitutional crisis, and now you are impacting the transfer of power. that is constitutionally mandated by january 1, republican supporting terms for the other geishas up putting democracy on a dangerous path. according to former u.s. president barack obama, but the u.s. election system has been questioned for decades. in fact, he's done holkins takes a closer look at the history of fraud in u.s. elections. there's a common theme in the media when it comes to the possibility of irregularities. in the u.s. presidential election, it's a ludicrous claim that there chris, every vote counts, but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser concedes that is what happens in this country. destroyed unfounded, ludicrous, and baseless allegations made by president trump and his campaign to remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. but such controversies are nothing new. ask former president barack obama. i come from chicago. so are,

are. so i want to be honest, it's not, is there, it's just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. sometimes democrats have to and here's jerry nadler, another democrat on the current chairman of the house judiciary committee. in my experience in new york paper ballots are extremely susceptible to freud. your paper with no machines, i can show you, i can show you experience, which would make your head spin, wasn't alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process on key swing states, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters, and the d.n.c. chairman agreed. i'm not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. we know that there was substantial voter suppression and the machines were not reliable. it should not be a surprise that the republicans were willing to do things that an ethical to

manipulate elections. that's what we suspect has happened. and we'd like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on. former us president jimmy carter co-chair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of forward coercion. he's since backtracked on that plane, but remains scathing about elections in the united states. the american political system wouldn't measure up to any sort of international standards for several reasons. lack of central election commission capable of issuing uniform rules, lack of equal access to the media for all viable candidates. and the inability to conduct recounts the election process in america has of course, come a long way. in the 19th century voting was controlled by gangs who would broadly bore, coerce voters. it looked something like this. i'm all for it, my boy to form an alliance with you against bill cutting and is slated later this

candidates and some people, every irish vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. things became less violent and more nuanced in the 20th century. lyndon johnson ended up winning a primary. he was losing in texas by just 87 votes. all thanks to the last minute appearance of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. this pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. it was scandal at the time, but an admission it took years to emerge. james, and did not win that election. it was students for him. and i know exactly how it was done. the 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. results in the deciding state will close with the supremes court giving bush the nod. but the result could have been a very different thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. bush's brother also happens to be the state's governor

. no major law firm in florida worked for al gore, even democratic, even democratic oriented law firms. because everyone was afraid of the bush family and the governor and losing important state business in this election cycle could perhaps be summed up best by joe biden. himself, we have put together. i think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of american politics. of course, this was just an ironic slip of the tongue biden was really talking about the democrats' voter protection program. for many though, the issue with the presidential election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trump's claims are all true or not. against the backdrop of election controversies spanning decades, it's the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. if it was special adviser to

barack obama discussed walk, joe biden's foreign policy, much like this was on the latest edition of going underground. do you think it's a mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue. as someone who broke in a fundamental way with american traditions, because trump's isolationism, his unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those actually buttes have very strong roots in american history. going back to the founders, going back to the late 17 hundreds. and in some ways, i think trump has demonstrated himself to be a very acute politician, because he's been able to tap in to that different narrative that different version of american, except exceptionalism, america, as the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world, not a country that goes out to change the world. and so right now, i think as biden prepares to take office, we do see the country going through

a searching debate about the nature of its role moving forward. and my own view is it's time for the country to find the middle ground between where it was in the pre pearl harbor era, which was doing too little and running away from the world where it has been more recently, which is drawing, trying to do too much particularly in the middle east, to find that stable middle ground to step back, but not to step away from one of the biggest global changes brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is a mass shift to working from home. millions of people will want to stay away from the office of research. is that germany's biggest bank saying those people should be taxed for the privilege working from home will be part of the new normal. when after the pandemic is passed, we argue that remote workers should pay a tax for the privilege our calculations suggest the amounts raised could fund

material income subsidies for low income earners who are unable to work remotely, and thus assume or old economy and health risks. a bank team is suggesting an additional 5 percent levy for about stuff. they argue that it's roughly equivalent to what people save on transportation and food. adding the money could be redistributed to those who cannot work online, many of whom are blue collar workers on lower incomes. and the researchers estimate that such a scheme would raise around 48 $1000000000.00 in tax revenue. if this was employed in the u.s. $9000000000.00 in the u.k. $19000000000.00 in germany. now most surveys this year have shown positive attitudes to home based work. a poll in the us found, for example, a hefty 72 percent of so-called knowledge. workers want a combination of remote and office duties, only 12 percent would prefer to work. soley from the office journalist charlie boyle, geo political analyst, ron wrote truce, gave their views on the idea of a new work from home tax. major cost for people is really nice and i was getting

to work on that nice try to get some sort of year and a lot of cases that automatically remove the you know, significant costs associated with, with getting to an office. jock, i think this needs to be proven 1st. the people who are working from home at the long run will save money. you need a fully equipped, equipped office. you need hardware, you need more space, which you need to rent or to buy. if people stay at home, work from home, the turnover is reduced for many other businesses and this hurts the overall economy. but this is not going to result in the next couple months because the super slow downs over everyone's getting charged, going back to work. you can't rest and governments have really increased their debts quite considerably. so if this tax, if this extra tax for people who can work for from home is supposed to be something

like a compensation for these losses. and for these steps, i think it's a totally misconceived strategy. it's no time to even implement even its leaders political will. and our c.s. order and secure the 1st 3 months of next year. once it actually gets rolled out and we'll have a conversation. and it's clear that what we need is to foster economic growth and activity. and this can never be done through a tax. still had a fisherman in france are warning the jobs will go and the marine life will be damaged beyond repair. it plans to build a new wind farm in brittany, go ahead. that story in a few months. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics or business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. all those big guns are really taking a position against the u.s. dollar standard to give a dollar is great value. he's heavy into gold. thanks. dollar is going to be very bad situation going forward. he has not yet jumped into the big point both, but i predict you will very soon. you've got warren buffett. he doesn't like big point, but he is putting a lot of money work in japan to get out of the dollar. and having to go, i mean, a big point. so all of the titanic, you know, movers and shakers of the global financial world are showing away from the dollar

soaring criminality. the us city of minneapolis is approved a cash injection for its police department. the force will get an extra half a $1000000.00. it will be used to recruit more offices. the funny beast coming though, despite an early a pledge by the city council to dismantle the department in the wake of the killing of a black man at the hands of local office is the death of george floyd, spoke. months of nationwide. protests

homicides in minneapolis have doubled since last year with nearly 75 killings reported in 2020. the number of she teachers also reached a decade high, 500 people were shot this year. violent crime is hitting record highs with over $4600.00, incidents reported to authorities. some $100.00 officers have left the minneapolis police force since the start of the year leading to a problem with understaffing. our resources are hemorrhaging. our city is bleeding at this moment. i'm trying to do all i can to stop that bleeding. and i'm starting that through having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force me team initiatives. we can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city. that smith, the spokesperson for the u.s. national police association, says defunding law enforcement would leave citizens, unprotected crime started to skyrocket. violent crime is out of

control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. and so this, this notion of defunding, the police actually hurt not just the police, but it's actually harming the citizens. what we're also seeing is the more resources you take away from police officers, the less community policing there are. and the more police officers get hurt. people are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. most people in the united states recover quickly for i from covert. you don't recover from being murdered in order to keep the citizen safe. they're going to have to learn how to live with police officers. the minneapolis police department is one of the most progressive police departments

in the united states. ok, and i will will the news stories in brief for you now. stone for an protesters were met with water cannon in the capital of chile, and took to the streets to demand the release of people who've been arrested at rallies against the president. over the years of the prophet muhammad, it does not relenting in bangladesh. people who gathered outside france's embassy calling for a boycott of the french quarter, but a new because the refugees are not the sudanese border. they are fleeing the military conflict. in the north of ethiopia, the united nations says 15000, people come to live in the camp. but fishermen are opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in brittany, claiming that it will endanger sea life on the livelihoods as the micro has long been pushing for when you a bull energy projects. charlotte has a story. fishing is a way of life. pay off the coast of brittany every morning,

fishermen head off to sea in the hope of catching their bedroom. but they're now not alone. a renewable energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this area's natural resources. the strong winds in tights here make the coast around the area which is near song creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62 turbines are planned with the site expected to be operational in the next 3 years. but fishermen are determined to sink the project. our leaders have been clear if they don't get answers to their questions, they say cannot be a wind farm. that is a certain president. he says, who would rather die standing in this project than let it happen. the fisherman cannot be developed. the wind farm is important politically french president not growing has attempted to patrol himself as being an environmental champion. now

he hopes that wind power could generate almost a 5th of front to sell it to city by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. yet one campaign group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. when you install a wind farm in a protected zone, the environmental damage is close. it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. so the government has tried to offer compensation, but it can't compensate damage to the sea. there is no compensation for loss of sea life. we also have the biggest natural reserve in brittany because we are in the migration corridor for birds. and there is no compensation for the destruction of birds. the wind from project is said to be exacerbating of tensions to just the other side of where it supplants it's the isle of jersey. where fishing is also an

important economy. it's no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are, i'm not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is simply covered in french, french nets, french gear. he says that's because french fishermen have been pushed all that water is because of the wind farm, those vessels which are now turning up and increasing if it to it in jersey's waters to an extent that our system and to no longer access huge areas of our own sea of air and waters so that it is causing just on a set of levels of hardship such as a fisherman. it's caught, it's creating conflict between the fishermen and french fishermen. and it certainly creating unsustainable board has created unsustainable levels of fishing, if it in the war. if it's the company responsible for the construction of the wind

. farm says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment. and for the french government, they said project is one key to france and moving toward 3 nubile energy sources. but moguls, hey, are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shelob ski, brittany. and that wraps it up for this news hour to join me in just over 30 minutes time for the latest headlines. the universe will soup will sure. wish to leave your wu lover, who was she? who is sure to keep the i.q. on board. it doesn't actually matter the age to put a gun by you to go there with us because all of those who do use the word because

those told me game we was in the movie, confused with it would seem it was used, but is the most severe some of it is in your speech, come on and use the of the 20th century was thing in or of revolution. the great depression and world wars, the 21st century of mental illness. those aren't my words. that's what surfaced. some psychologists tell us, the only question is, should we accept it as a fact or no. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race 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 to sit down and talk

a new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it rich. here's a good as they are by those that work children are torn between gold was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal? it's always on the bone but at least nationally. right. big city bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangerous to blatantly to do. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the last, when they built the new mosque,

it's still through the reserve least one police officer, effectively $200.00 residents in russia's capital cost on the right to me that i will not go with the wind up toy saloon keepers of the muslims who would have to mostly on election night. you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. so there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes and it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and that's where we are today. joe biden's margin is so large in all of the states that are being contested,

that even though some other states have not finished county, they still know who won. and joe biden won a majority of the electoral college votes. i am max kaiser. this is the very kinds the report in no, never discount the power of meaning. it's yes, max, my favorite mean of all time really i think gets to the heart of all the stuff that is going on. whether it was the failure to predict what happened in 2016, both in the us election and breaks. and now in 2020, is that when you create this fantasy world around you of money printing price,

propaganda, and political misunderstanding where you never leave your bubble on twitter of all blue checkmarks where you never leave your manhattan elite circles or d.c. circles, then you don't understand the people and once again, you know, as we saw, and as we see this unfolding boat disaster around us. this mean tells everything you need to now. it's, here's the screaming pollsters, the screaming mainstream cable news media yelling at the people that the people got it wrong. they got it wrong. it's. this is reality. that's the cat called reality. yeah, i love this me. you know, every time i see the social media, oh it's good. well, you know, because 1st of all the greatest names of cats, this is probably one of the greatest out names ever in, you know, the faces on there. these are the counter in this world. you know, screaming women like i am in the, there's little kitty cat in front of you know,

where plato did this, you know, with fantastic it's, it's a hyper emotional elite and their elite messaging system as matt be, has called it, they're at leats messaging system has failed, they are unable to communicate with reality, and this is them shouting at reality and reality is just like continuously asserts itself. so i think that's it's, it's part and parcel of this, you know, the decline of the empire and rise of another power and they don't know how to explain it. they don't know how to obviously admit guilt of their role in, for example, sending all our jobs over to china. they can admit the but the end at the end of the day, reality wins. and we're going to look at some reality imposing itself. the same sort of me imposing itself on the u.s. dollar. stan druckenmiller and bill miller on the news. right. and people laugh there's means going around that every investor is a lead.
