[000:00:00;00] a me a let just wrap up a voters, determine the composition of congress and the majority of states, governors, price inflation, an abortion right among with intimately $1000.00 alarm of violent extremely from florida on social media with notorious terrorist recruiting young people. while online prop for german chancellor shots blades russia for his country using coal to fuel economy. the western countries lecturing

developing nations on ongoing green, the un conference. so i had a lead a manual micro on get for him. he was his little rich but as an encounter thought, despite earlier refusing to even recognize nicholas madeau rose, president a thing alive from the russian capital is just off the hour. but glad to have you with us. i'm ready to mommy. let's take a look at the top stories, this, our pose a closing and close to us in the countries high stakes midterm elections to determine the composition of the federal congress and more than half of the nation's governors. the election include around a 3rd of the net positions in the federal, your senate,

the upper chamber of congress, and all $435.00 seats in the lower house of representatives. new governance for $36.00 states are also to be chosen, as well as $27.00 individual states secretaries which oversee further local elections, major domestic issues, such as price inflation, abortion access, gun laws, and voter rights, and very much the focus. let's get the latest on the voting as close live now to ortiz caleb open in new york, kayla. it's good to see now these initial votes are being counted. how are things looking right now? well, just this hour, we've seen the poles close in many eastern states at 8 p. m and ballots are being counted. but the big issue hanging over the country at the moment is the fact that we probably will not have the results of many of these reps is tonight. many

states have actually extended the period in which elect results can be certified and male in ballots. are a big part of this election. now, this is an election, as you said, members of the congress, members of us, senate governors, secret state secretaries of state. this is not an election of the president, but it is an election of the, you know, ultimately who will make up the federal government for at least the next 2 years, as well as who will make up the state government. now, one particular race that has gotten a lot of attention is in arizona. and today arizona zoomed in to the headlines when in one particular county, maricopa county, the voting machines started to have big problems and ballads were not given proper ink. and there were issues with not enough ballots and long lines in arizona. now this is due prompted the former president, donald trump, to make

a video urging the voters in maricopa county. not to go home, but to insist on being able to vote despite the issue with the voting machines. this is a video message just released by donald trump. don't leave your line, stay where you are. they say that the machines are working, they say that they're running out of paper in different locations throughout different states. there's a lot of bad things going on. stay on the line, do not leave. i know you don't want to be there as long as they're going to try and force you. they want to delay you out of voting, and you can not let them delay you out of now the context of that message we just heard from trump is very important. because in arizona, the race is heavily contested, and the democrat is a current elected official. she's actually the current state secretary of state who

is responsible for managing the voting machines and overseeing the election process . and she is running against a candidate supported by donald trump. carrie lake, who is referred to by her critics as a quote election deny, or she maintains that the presidential election in 2020 was stolen from trump. so the fact that there is already concerns about foul play in the state of arizona where the current secretary of state is one of the candidates. and the other candidate is someone who does not accept the election results in 2020 is quite a massive issue. now around the country. there are a number of different races where there are candidates that have raised questions about the 2020 election democrats of calling these candidates a threat to democracy. meanwhile, concerns about possible fraud continue to be raised by republicans and that continues to be an issue that republicans and from supporters continue to raise. now, some of the republican parties are to lose training, and others are saying that there should be no questioning of the integrity of the u

. s. electrical system. but one thing that's very important to point out is that this is not an election for a president. joe biden is not on the ballot. but all show that this election is largely going to be a referendum on his performance. polls indicate that it's very likely to see a sweep of republican victories around the country. and the primary motivating factor will be the anger about the inflation and the outrage in the frustration. many americans asked with inflation and with other issues that they blame squarely on the white house and as much as some democrats around the country have attempted to distance themselves from the white house. it appears that many voters are motivated primarily by the state economy. and they are also frustrated with by, however, we're still waiting for the results and due to the mail in dallas, it may be quite some time before final results are certified in many different races. but i just now we've seen the poles close here on the eastern seaboard as the night continues,

poles will be closing in different parts of the country. some vote counting will began nail and ballads will be arriving. this is the mid term election night here in the united states. kylie contested night, there's been a lot of anticipation in the lead up to these elections. k, they've always appointed though it is a vacuum service for being something made. was we again soon? thanks again for your time. might be able to get through today. thought we have a radio host carry, harrison. he's done. i mean now in the see there was from the, from the state. should i say, well, frank, so look carry for joining us here are now has been a lot of talk about the republicans could take the lead in these elections, especially in criticism of democratic policies on inflation and economy. what do you expect to see? it's interesting, by the way, thank you. this has been a very busy day for all of us, and it will get busier in days to come and interesting to note that in arizona

where caleb was talking about the voting machines, not having a printing ink and all of that, that's alleged what we do know for sure is that the current sitting secretary of state is running for her reelection. and it could be that the side that donald trump is claiming donald trump is claiming, having a, created a video today. that the problem is this, that the other. but it could be, as we don't know for sure if these machines actually were malfunctioning, in other words, if you don't want the current secretary of state a democrat to be reelected, you claim the machines that she is in charge of are not working. therefore, a democrat has no control over honest and fair elections. that's again, that's a kind of fraud in its own way. these are the same people who claim that in 2020 joe biden didn't fairly when the election. we now know as of today from the

heritage foundation and other non profit organizations that only 3535 people out of 350000000 mitted, any kind of fraudulent voting activity, which is a felony in the united states punishable by $5000.00 enough to bankrupt most people in this country. so really is their fraud. no. is their threat of it simply by using political monkey shines by going on t v and radio and constantly saying over and over again. yes, it does so doubt. but let's go back to the united states, re 1884. before then we did voice votes, we went into a court house, a judge made you swear on a bible. swear that you were who you said you were and hadn't voted before. and then you had to vote in public, in front of your neighbors, on a, not in front of other people who might not like the way you vote. and so they made sure you didn't vote the wrong way because you have to live in that town for the rest your life and you better vote the right way. all of this was the way it worked

. plus the served booze. liquor alcohol at election night. in fact, my ancestors going back to about 1775. before this became united states, we were still british route 300000 gallons of peach brandy. were george washington's election? did it help? yes. all right, eric, well, booze. i less i'll go by about, far back. i know there's a lot of talk about that while i have you here. biden's me until the about, you know, the, the allegations are republican controlled congress would be a threat to democracy. what we'll do mean by that ah, i think what he means, he's probably referring to gerrymandering, referring to what's going on in georgia, one of the most important states because it would change the safe face of the senate. brian camp who has a created ways to declare that tens of thousands of people are voting illegally.

they're not voting illegally, but what bryan campus been doing this is clever stuff like machiavellian genius. send out little cards to people in the mail and ask them to verify that they live at that address. but the cards don't look like anything official, so people throw them out. if that government run by brian camp who's running for reelection as government, don't receive that card back, they get cut off the voter rolls. it's going to be people of color, hispanics, asians, people who might not vote. republican people who don't look like brian camp. and so these are the tricks. so when you accuse the other side of doing that, he will look at the other side. but you're the guy pulling that stuff off. the guy's the genius intra sammy, we've heard a lot about these polls. could there be fraud? there might be fraud, i mean to seems to be adding a lot of confusion into the mix of both of these tough times later love america's of thought about the economy they're told,

or if inflation they've told about lead to the major concerns cause abortions up there as well, but what by didn't not done. what could the republicans do if they did take some power back? well, what could they do? they could probably, if you're a woman, for instance, make your life a lot more difficult. if you feel as a woman, which is 61 percent of the global human population, you have a right to control your own body. if you're one of those people, greater than half the human population, you may not want the government taking that right permanently away from you. looks like if the democrats word a, when this is on the side of women, again, they would call defy the room. and actually as agency over her own human physical body, that would be a plus for women. but if you're male and think that women should not have that right, then you want the republicans to when you want the republicans to make corporation

stronger and have more power than ever over everything that's in front of you. if you own a corporation that's what you want. so it depends what team you're playing for. are you a little guy? are you a big guy? and that's really what this is about in america, because we are the land of business at the end of the day, it's about power, property, and prestige. so if you don't have much, you don't want the guys who do have it. it's the the other way around. well, you want to win. always been that way. i can see a final question when i have a hear these made will they sway the next election? you know, in a couple years time, depending on, you know, the republicans of democrats taking at up for sure. so whoever is in power has the loudest megaphone. that means you're going to get to be on tv. you're going to get to be in the newspaper. you're going to get tab, town halls and rallies. you're going to maybe get donald trump to come in because you're already in power. whoever is in charge have is more in charge than ever. yes

. it will sway how the presidential election looks. if you are a sen, united states senator, and you start declaring that there is fraud, and monkey shines in deceit going on, left and right. and the only one who can save the day is the new uncle sam headed up by fill in the blank gun toting a portion. hating jesus, loving guy. well, it's kind of a slam dunk. so of course, the more power you have, the more people that think like you, the more messaging you get to get out, x don't carry harrison always a pleasure. the visa, thank you so much for joining us. there are 2. so he goes to say thanks. i move on now. the e u has been resorting to burning coal dislike is profess green energy goals of his sanctions against russia has led to natural gas shortage is and while western needles keep coming developed countries to go green germany,

charles has his own nation will not be doing that right now during his address, the un and climate estimates in egypt, and that's not a long from them. and todd was lands portales and rushes, brutal war of aggression on ukraine is forcing us to reconnect coal fired power plants to the grid for a short time. but we are firmly committed to the coal phase out germany, things are going to open up the call, agreed for some time because it was happening between russia and rain, you know, things that they've got and we were using before and not the access thing. that's this is the time to go back a call so that they can minimize oh, or the team the people at the moment. but this looks like critics who have been forced to go to the us being asked to come up with new generation energy,

especially green energy. 3 energy, but as you see already, you don't like shifting from the energy i'm going to use this is becoming a problem to african countries. one thing that it's like double sun that under the lane game is not right for everyone. only those in europe who developing countries are ready for the pollution of 90 percent climate. now going back to you and i live in africa, we're just seeing them to go back to snore. to use my invest, have journalists, madiba dba says that the western gwin agenda is being imposed on asking countries while europeans simply exploiting the continent resources a contentious i'm not going to follow this the chart and this

notion that they have to switch to green energy african kinds of just like becoming powerful. so let's get a phone call. everything comes up in it to the own source, you know? because i think this whole good energy and forward i call it just been imposed by the way, you know, it's, it's, it's, that's that. so that african country is going to exploit them. you know, sources that african countries don't go that country in the industrialized that their country is not. think many african countries a tight with because to call, you know, because of the industries that we have. so this whole for the united states to green energy is just another way of colonizing that people. there's another way of keeping us put another way of exploiting us so that we don't industrialize our economy so that we now have to follow up a by the way. and i think it's just another reading tactic on the west. always want to put our economies always wanted to teach what happens. so i think this doesn't look really check from the you and the way it's a bad to make some concessions when it comes to securing more

field, impose as he hasn't shielded away my friend in china with all richmond as a leader, nicholas madura on camera despite frank, still refusing to formally recognize legitimacy of the like to latin american present and supporting sanctions against his government. a, with that conversation comes in contrast to what the french present 23 years ago. back when western countries recognize us back opposition figure one was a president of venezuela, and he tried and failed to seize power in caracas,

fully disputed election. let me do officially one senior research fellow at the global policy institute thing george similarly said between mccoy, i'm andrew sends a clear message to washington bureau about to experience an extremely unpleasant winter, very serious energy shortages. and venezuela is obviously a major well produced in the world, and therefore it is time for a major. you turn. the counter was extraordinary because it was very, very friendly. i mean, it, was it last about a minute and a ha nonetheless. very warm. and clearly there was a macro new. everyone was listening in. he was saying to me, i'm going to give you a call. so, so he was delivering a message to the rest of the world and particularly to the united states. we're

abandoning your policy. i do have one an election. europeans can say we don't like this election, we can say, you know to the hospital. oh, it wasn't, it wasn't bad. i wasn't bad, but he won the election. he will. he was accepted by the venezuelan people who are said to african as a recent session of the african parliament union raises concerns about the spread of violent extremist groups. terrorist rhetoric is printed for 18 rapidly, particularly on social networks of these course one cargo, the tattler explains to lead penetration of viruses in more, biofuel and technology, has been both a gift and for the african continent. they have driven the social, political, and economic growth. but social media has also provided a captive audience and sites like feasible being used to lower end ready

live and spread the message of violence extremism on the continent. and the eastern part of the continent has been particularly susceptible. i think this will probably mean not that not northern virginia where i think the also try to bring up a vehicle using eighty's. so i can see a problem that dave is africa as a, as a region has been fighting governance in the east, in the west of the continent of formulating strict measures to counter the sophistication and the social media heaviness of these groups. the un also back the studies looking into the use of social media and it's linked to online radicalization and 7 african countries. all dealing with the rise of either our sub vocal her on or ice. while all these extremely screws were found to be using different strategies, they all use twitter, youtube, what that, but the most common place for recruitment was facebook. there been no,

put ridiculous, so many goods. and that comes from the sale of unemployment. know, are you with the finishes university or job and you move this guy on internet, these talk, this person. i'm give him some money, give us our money. and you find this guy is able to put these goes into the box very easily in universe in classrooms. and internet cafes, young people are the target of unsolicited messages emanating from extremist groups from all around the world. but over the last year, there have been a noticeable rise of messages emanating from extremist groups in the east of the continent. and they have a feeling that social media companies are not doing enough to filter it out like this book to employ some policies and regulations did deploy some loss

or the conditions that will kind of know people and prevent some fun. it. some tips are generally good to buy pretty. what i do as a person is, if you, i do not know you, we have never met before. i do not have any contact with you. i do not. i do as my facebook friend in that has helped me to actually be secure, more and avoid mental health issues in regards to violence, un begged benny as found that out above his found online messaging a challenge as it got these centralized and with more independent voices but also bobs, use of the very same platform to publicize a tags, kidnappings and wanting to showcase their power and raise their profile is seeming gaining traction. so who is possibility isn't to stop this trans class of what they did a class you. they make you believe that beginnings of all the make you believe the cause you had to slow to measure the day i didn't of the day you really had to go

list. so by the time the come in now the beginning on monday, you know, to do it of negativity on these other people. and thus, problem that we will have you not having jobs, the owner of those social media platforms, or groups to tackle all those traits and or to find a means of minimizing their traits associated with this is also kind of the up to dallas. the benefit is that you're right, so it's live for them to know how to explain to me that countering the rise of radical recruitment, extremism and terrorism on the continent should be an africa wide strategy. and while strengthening communities and the civil society, he, many more experts argue a global king giant, especially those from the west, should be as quick to take responsibility as they are to take profit from the continent. and that they should be doing long to make sure that radical groups do

not carry on. exploiting young people on the continent got. i will advise for our tea in johannesburg, mazda lady lives, others present freedoms, prime minister, so that his country will comply with all of anchors demands, which will let them know that country join nato. i would like to inform you that the swedish parliament has begun work on the creation of an inter parliamentary friendship group with turkey. sweden will fulfill the memorandum to the end. sweden will not enter into a dialogue with the p k. k. however, the 34 message says the scene has not taken enough stacks towards joining nato, so in fly mess with it should keep attempt to seek anchors approval for nato session. and while nater chiefs total but earlier claim that the alliance talked anchor into along sweden to join the block, to kill was quick to reaffirm it's uncompromising stance. when 3,

the 1st announces bit to join the alliance target present air to one accused. the nordic country of housing, terrorist and demonte that sweden expedite several members of the could is done work as part of the all p k. k. the kurdish dyers flora has been well integrated into sweet society for years. as 6 members of the country, parliament being of origin just em cancel. it says a swedish p m statement show his country is ready to support all of to get anti kurdish war policies in order to get nato membership is understood that from the elderly statement that he expects support from sweden for all on to produce more policies. the statements made by the swedish or prime minister in turkey imply that they came gives the support in the upcoming period,

the result reach in these 30. again, we will also answer what there was within joints, nato or not. but so with effort to gain nato membership by being whole style in the world shows that, you know, great weakness in terms of democrats and freedom. in the simplest terms, basically because current these people are under. ready general site right now, the courtesy freedom struggle has deep rooted friends in sweden, radi called them across liberation, psychology, feminist supporters of human rights and freedoms. shoulder to shoulder with the curse were for went this way. the state from fully supporting the. busy college general side is far masters called for closer corporation with russia during a visit to moscow. i think what he described to the stressful situation on the energy markets. the fact that i'm here today with

a delegation to review our cooperation, to see how we can take it forward to create a long term sustainable basis. i can say most of all, i think you can see the obvious interest and commitment i would have in keeping that relationship stronger instead, russian and india is foreign. mrs. met yesterday. so is it in moscow usually goes stronger. most of the energy was and it only chopped top of the agenda was energy trades, specifically using national currencies in trade deals between the 2 countries to reduce the dollar dependency. this made this the increasing western pressure against india's friendly relations with russia. as the g 7 nations, prior to cap price id of seaborne, oil shipments from december, the 5th for the 2nd cap on products from february. the 5th us tried to convince india that it would benefit from a price cap on russian oil and hope they would take advantage of this. india in

port 85 percent of its crude needs and has emerged as rushes 2nd largest oil consume after china. indian for the foreign secretary commonwealth, sybil says new delhi is committed to resisting western pressure to join the sanctions. you know, i don't know why a union has said this again. our minister was in, in washington just a few days ago. and he said very clearly on television that we will buy oil whenever we can get it at the cheapest price possible. because we are energy hungry country, 85 percent of the energy is imported. oh, and we have a moral duty to our own people. ok. and therefore, we're not going to be forced to buy the oil from visual god. country will buy. where did that? it is. the most advantages to us. that is one. the other thing is this gap is not

going to work because you got it. oil market is highly integrated and they can be doubled pricing. and if you're going to have a price gap on russian life oil, i got a price gap on, on, on other oil producers, even though it gets sent. i mean, this is want to leave eventually. deuce everybody has to be very careful. why not a cap in gas prices? and we're buying oil and gas from united states. why not a gap on, on those prices? when i was up, this is i got all the dot com all you agree. hm. i'm glad you will be back at the top of the hour. so with with
