the you ready to come along the, as of it's, our upholding stations are no open, right? so across the continental united states, southern american citizens are casting policy election, the colon, donald trump, and tele, r, as in a dead heat, nationally included in the treatment states making this presidential race one of explosives in us history. without those fears of junior, with election, florida rising with videos going viral, purportedly showing how easy it is to make the site committee, but just saying it might not be easy to verify my idea. i mean, exactly that might be my might, might not think and a lot of promises, but where is the results are to elect spock at the legacy. the find the

administration less on the african continent over the past leaders, the more welcome to our, to international. my name's universal. good to help you with this. voting is in full swing in the u. s. presidential election. tens of millions of people are heading to the pools to choose to take control of the white house for the next 4 years. and you're in the right place to find out all the big developments. and one is the closest race in decades. the well, it truly is a neck neck. bustled with only a small percentage of folders, believe to still be in dice about who they're going to give that tech to. that's as

the 1st results from best choose. they are in and they come from dick's vill, not new hampshire. we're residents cast their ballots by tradition at midnight. not thought there was much content to do. 6 locals voted, resulting in a tie between the 2 candidates, perhaps a sign of what's to come. well in the may, you have traditional blue democrats and red republican states with voters expected to keep 2 party lines. but in purple territories. here the swing states, it's far from clear who's going to come out on top in recent elections, such areas have determine who, who's the keys to the wi fi. so there are 7 this year, michigan, pennsylvania on wisconsin. they've been a blue wall for the democrats for a generation while so called sun belt states are a zone at george in nevada, north carolina have been gaining republican stain, the main candidates held finally raleigh's. and 2 of those swing states in the last

push on election dave, so we don't have to settle it for a week. there's an incompetence in the dried and the k to nice would be k. that's what that, that's a nice word d k. can you imagine and nobody will question it because it's true. and let us remind everyone your vote is your voice and your voice is your power. so we believe in well, it's not just about the individual votes, the quote, it's the crucial us the electoral college that will decide the country is next leader political parties, a point elect tours in each state every 4 years, making up $530.00 in the electoral votes in total, the number of elect tours depends on the population in each state. now, it's a winner tickled system in most states, meaning whichever count of that comes out of the head gets all of the states vote, no matter how slim the march. and by the way, main, nebraska,

the only 2 states that a lot of extra votes to being split to take the wife has to come to that needs this figure 270. you're going to hear that repeated over the next 24 hours a lot. and that is why i comes, it can when the electoral college but lose the popular vote. it happened with trump in 2016. the early voting also took place in the run up to today, resulting and unprecedented turn noise. but some estimates would be in the range of $18000000.00 votes. a minute. all concerns about electronic furnace and safety are starting to go viral on line one person film the following at a polling station claiming how easy it would be to commit alex it's not to me, but i'm just saying it might not be you can verify it. but i'm just telling you it is. you can see my idea, right? a lazy to verify my idea, right? i mean, i just can't work for you. exactly. so i might be, might not,

might not think about it. okay. it might not be the time you're saying essentially it's not too far right? does might not be. so do you guys verify the signature to the match as of already the county does it, does it have to match the my signature? what happens if it doesn't match the signature? so they verify just based on the signature. it is only here's what you need. you are always uh thank you so much. and in an election year with so many twists and surprises of social media, star squirrel has become a scandal that could even effect the election results. yes, it has the squirrel him peanuts was use an ice up lead by new york state, causing a furious online at reaction with tech talking even musk even urging that the americans vote for the routing trumps running measured events has criticized peanuts that sent in saying that authorities are ignoring the big issue such as

immigration, wiley, eliminate pets. have you seen the videos of this squirrel? he's like, he's a genius very was unfortunately, but the same government doesn't care about hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant criminals coming into our country. doesn't want us to have pets. so crazy as to the craziest thing to what peanuts was seized from his own or, and use an ice buying new york state after being tested for rabies following reports that had bitten some of the news on pain of death. those sparks widespread backlash on line us republicans, a curious new york democrats of overreach. the damage themselves say that trump campaign started using the issue to wind votes in traditionally, at what is atrista think democratic s de 6. your reaction from the incident on the beloved, unable on his over the never going to dress up again, we're going to need

a wall with and then for be able to split this obviously not every kid. yeah, the things that make headlines well on the final day of campaigning, both candidates wrapped up their drive to the white house with raleigh's and up for grabs. pennsylvania has the 19 electro boats up for grabs their overall. it's been a buffalo, that's featured rudeness, ridicule on finger pointing out of course, rush to get to point to time a for a non folder for the in november. i will not vote for a candidate to 1000, meet the minimum threshold for being president of the united states. and we have 2 candidates lead candidates that don't. and so i decided i'm not voting period the brand. and they looked like the devil a looks of scope, but listen, you stupid bastard. these are the kind of guy should like a smack it over and just abide. he was dumb,

35 years ago. a zillow's donald trump would invoke adolf hitler. she's a very low i q individual, she's done as a rock. we call that a sore loser. we can go through another person who's a dummy. do you think don't trump? is a fashion? yes, i do. very weak and incompetent person was an extremely low. i q the, i agree with senator kennedy's completely on that. i think mr. nixon is an effective leader of his party question before us is which point of view and which party do we want to lead united states. i find myself in so much agreement with mr . mondale for a humble national prospectus. i agree with that. i agree with that. let me say a complement to the president's. i'm a year the sucker you're those are you have to be quite smart and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way and i do it. he doesn't do it. he can't at about 50 yards. world leaders

are laughing at donald trump and they say your disgrace, i'm talking now. if you don't mind, please, why she went out. she went out it is well known that he said of prudence that she can do it ever the hell he wants and going to ukraine. wooten endorse or last week said i hope she wins. and i think you meant that i will totally obliterate the deep state with us by side. we will demolish the deep stay if you want to defeat the beat state folks from the people we are. what on the government for god's sake, ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not on elected bureaucrats in the deep state. during garbage, i see, so now there is a supporters with literally an own civilized country.

now we're like a garbage can for the rest of the world. the let's go live now to our vin volt, right? former vice chair of the libertarian national committee, the ex presidential candidate for the us libertarian party, as well, oregon. we appreciate you your time this election at day come, we kick off with that. one thing that i've seen more in this campaign that i have seen and others, and that's headlines in, in mainstream media outlets talking about the specter of, of violence in the aftermath of this election. even talking about, about civil war. is that something could, could we be seeing,

am i brick if the result doesn't go one way or the other? you know, the, the reports of civil war are just more media fluff and more media bias. what we seen in this in the selection cycle is a media that is so desperate to when people over to their, their various outlets that they're willing to fan the flames of any kind of drama. even things that have essentially 0.0 percent chance of happening. but yet we have the national guards on stun boy and in a number of states. the national guard being on standby doesn't in any way mean that it's even slightly likely that there's going to be anything like a civil war. if you look, for example, in january 6th, last year, if you look at the actual videos mean the media presentation has been like if this was an arm to ride or something like that. but the actual videos are sort of not

bad, exciting. the suppose at depth due to the, to the, to the so called riot or debts by suicide. so this is not like that, that the huge drama that was around january 6 was largely hugely overblown. and so the current response, again, is just a dramatic over response to a non existent threat. those main stream media article is that they're talking about the big trunk supporters, the my guess supporters. but i would put a to that it would be more acclaimed to the likes of portland, oregon, or somewhere with a heavy at liberal support that that's something like this could in fact at break got because we, we've seen a lot of violence before and there's even more at stake today after transfers election, there was a decent amount of vandalism. i wouldn't call a real serious organized, you know, anything approaching us out of war. but there's a lot of vandalism in that and that the a lot of that, but they're asking blocked,

lives in honor, etc. in the end to build up, you know, that history of violence has been building all there. there has been what, what, what sort of petty crime there's been in the, in the past there's been vandalism. there's been certainly a lot of anger and after not after election, but certainly after when the police on necessarily killing an arm person. there's certainly been riots in those cases, but the, the, the gulf between vandalism, or even ride and then something like a civil war is, i mean, it's staggering leading there. there's what it would take for like, you know, to organize army to go to each other is, well, i don't think we're anywhere in the miles of with it within miles or light years of visit vicinity of that just yeah. okay. at what could to the age in this election, it does seem to be knife edge stuff and we're hearing the, you know, muslim voters in michigan for instance, and moving away from traditionally voting blue to the green party. we have other

issues in other states. what do you think will will be the tipping point here for who gets in the white house as well? i can tell you one thing that i've seen in, in the libertarian movement and a among independent voters, is that there is a sense of just exhaustion of constantly funding and bailing out europe through nato. nate nato's be supposed to be this the sort of beneficial for all the organization. but what's actually happened is it's just the united, the american taxpayer funding europe, and american tax payers are tired of funding europe. nato doesn't just mean the direct fees that we pay, which are substantial, but also the indirect fees that come from having a military that is a $1000.00 times bigger than it needs to be. so if the united states got out of nato thinks that that trump is hinted at, things that chase oliver has essentially promised me that would mean a cost savings per taxpayer of several $1000.00

a year. and americans would rather have their own money, not had their money funneled to a $1000000.00 and was more that had literally nothing to do with the united states in any imaginal bill and at any imaginable way whatsoever. so i think that's really caught on with a lot of people, but yet squirrels are making headlines. the schools are making headlines because of the media is often owned by the same company, the same holding companies that own defense contractors. and then those companies are terrified at the united states pulls out of nato. that means those defense contractors and their multi $1000000000.00 checks for providing no safety at all to the american people are going to dry up. so they're media companies that they are, that they own or co own, are trying to distract the voters from what the voters actually want, which is less government getting the government out of other countries, bring the troops home. cutting costs usually add up the same time,

making america safer because they're not creating enemies all over the world. that's what the american voters want. so these distractions, i don't think anyone's buying it, just something on what we heard a lot of in the aftermath of 2020 by donald trump. and a number of states a lot vote harvesting. were the ops into the voters, have other people deliver their ballots to the polls in their behalf? the republicans this time around a volts to express concern that such practices may enable fraud. how justified or how important could this issue be? i mean that the, this it's getting me is guaranteed to happen. it has it's off bowed harvesting has happened in one way or another for decades in united states. you have, for example, buses that go to nursing homes that just kind of carousal people who are, you know, um, unfortunately suffering from dimension various other illnesses and just kind of bust them to the polls. tell him who to vote for. so in one way or another boat

harvesting has been going on for a long time. when you have mail in voting, what happens is that's a lot easier to, to do. the other thing that's easier to do is to verify who the person is voted for . even if you take somebody with dementia and put them in a pulling booth, you don't actually know what they're going to do in there. but if you have as a ballot, a physical ballot, you can look with your eyes and see. and that enables things like boat buying that enables vote pressuring boat corps. and there, there's a reason we have a secret ballot in, in america, it's to prevent that. and a male in ballot is the least secret ballot that you can possibly have or been by 2024 that you expect 3rd parties to have made more of a sizable cut into the, the 2 big b c. do you think that that that is a lot to happen to it's uh, no i, i think that there is, there is, 1st of all, there's a certain amount of a strangle hold on,

on the elections that comes from the media. there's also the 2 major parties do whatever they can to keep. 3rd parties off the ballot so that 3rd party have to spend so much time so much energy and so much on the resources just trying to get onto the ballot. but that part of it, you know, 3rd party themselves, i have the bad share part of the burden to share part of the blame for that, which is that from every, every 3rd party that i've seen, i've seen a more kind of cowardly, more soft spoken more nearly a trying to appease everybody type of approach rather than the kind of bold, authentic honest approach. and i think that is actually one reason that trump has been able to cut so deeply into libertarian voters. a lot of libertarian voters are, are leading towards trump for the simple reason that he is boldly saying. libertarian things like leave nato wild, libertarian candidates are saying them in such a soft spoken indirect way, that you don't honestly don't know where they stand on

a lot of issues. so that has been an issue that's been, you know, there, there's 2 sides of this issue. i think that for that to change, we're going to need to see maybe some legal changes, but also a change in the openness and authenticity of the candidates themselves. just in a word then who do you think's going to come out on top this time tomorrow? who's going to be smiling and who's going to be crying? i mean, based on everything that i've seen so far, i would say that trump is going to win and you know, be president tomorrow. okay, well that's been great that seeing and catching up on hearing your views on all that. org and thanks so much for sharing your time with us this election day form or vice chair of the libertarian national committee, or vin, for and many times. thanks for having me on. or what a wave of military is a search in on the western sentiment on political turmoil in this the hell that's the checkered history. joe biden is leaving behind when it comes to america's

relations with africa overnight to ortiz, new living. you can get the brakes done, washington's recent legacy on the continent. so by this time comes, when in the system will have to deal with the legacy when it comes to africa, 5 and schools schools, approximately situated in between to, to, just to ask because strategy not to mazda too much in that document. you should have enough to wait in global institutions to keep the confidence a voice in global decision making some way that's effective. once again to happen, ways of mistakes and expected the last 4 years have seen political upheaval with us, the whole region. washington rises. we sustained classic and countries that have been to come to to the beach and i'm no longer with the move. everybody's yeah, jerry and government regrets,

the desire of the american government to deny the sovereign easier and people the right to choose their partners into types of partnership capable of helping them to fully fight against terrorism. and also being forced to solve the last service they came in from neighboring side american innovation and supports have that's the basis she would need to be in crisis feeling sick because she needs to be at the front on going consistency, supplements, and international allies and one hands on prove also pop on the u. s. continues to gain experience. someone else, the russian federations narrative drowned out the us government in the past years. they were excel and the russian federation stoked

a lot of the instability across this will help. they did this through misinformation this information campaigns. so i see how we will double down and our efforts is through our own information campaign, but messed with our assurance efforts. a russian federation is really trying to take over the central africa as well as the sale, claiming russia and china might feel good. but deep down the united states, no was 6 the wrong reasons. 6 times the exchange rush and china, our global powers, they are going to be present. what we have to make sure is that we maintain our presence. and in that, in that region, it is all about partnerships and alliances. so buys and for the most part to ignore the applicant over his entire term and is nearly 4 years in office. is hosted to a fee was an applicant for business. even though i'm coming to visit

a few is trades with subsaharan africa, pete, and the list of christian faith to this softly preferential trade program. so the reason policy makers hope that washington applicant opportunity act. oh cool. as the primary you is for a policy for the region economy to benefits and advocate for country is not willing to follow that policies. despite the intensive engagement between the united states and the central african republic gap on any shit and uganda, these countries have failed to address the united states concerns about the non compliance with the a go eligibility criteria. even so that's a couple of honda civic to vehicle what to to, to mesa super. russia was forced, interested to question with us. investment funding and trade access is most of the upside from it. we're seriously concerned that hosting the 2023 i go for in

south africa, would serve as an implicit endorsement of south africa's damage and support for us as invasion of ukraine and possible violation of us sanctions. lot. washington's casual dismissal fasick impact fees of even the continent as a whole, soles the bottom of the sustain for the people of africa. present part in that particular to the vision for africa. the world that african strongly agree with these records matching that vision is he added to his office. most important thing says default, christie aside, some with the eyes of africans. it seems like with that not the administration comes in and makes more promises. so not africa has had to not speak no i to international consultant, the more boss speaking to us from part us and some of the issues raised there at mr . by good to see you come,

i published to directly will it make any great difference who wins today in terms of africa's relationship with america? or are things unlikely to change much? yes, the thing that to the relationship is very, very strong. but sometimes we get some misunderstanding. for example, if we get to this to gain the administration of done by the end for example, into decided to finance and to have a pretty got countries from the to big data impacted choose. for example, the really to call you the coming from a is on the, to the lovely to call for act in the, in the that the, the d s. the particular democratic. it could be a scramble. it's along the eastern lot by. ready the one time zones and the

300 kilometers back to do by then i did the tensions, decided to finance be suppressed due to the top bush. all right. and types of choose, i'm of the page to head exchange and trade inside the car and to take them out. integrations, the, to ease a about to $555.00. it's about the other hands or so it's resumes our administration of body to the tech decisions progress. she goes to a to finance 55000000000 of data in treat. yes. from 2022. have to do some meet the sub on some of these africa and us. it's kind of box corporation, deeply cooperation and the last 2 on ease for me. the launch by the top kind of at

the separately of set it up. for example, it's going to side is the 1st that the light of sending got implementations back in the end. it's have some critical choose this uh flu. denise, understanding between fi got to us and in the next meet at the vision of progress celebration and there's a lot of under, isn't there a across that's a hell, not just new. sure. with, with, with french officials, they're at generally that's seen as needed as a more of a, a problem with the west because people come in, they take resources, they may give funds as you're saying. but a lot of that is not going to to people who really need it. so i think that's where the, the frustration comes from. you can go into, i forget, but you have to work with the people. i'm not so sure that it's still kind of food, the coffee between west tons and,

and i think cast aside young countries know the kind of fall so in the year and a lot of ation. no, not. it's have some problems of really a countries in terms of who the chance of to the west coast for respecting cause shown in regions and not too crowded tasks and questionnaire issues. but it's not as it's hard for me sometimes of this understanding and some induction into antenna fs between some with some countries and some say and, but i think some, some trees. okay, let me get you kind of tied there. but i understand that, let me, i just, i want, i want to get the point across because we're just under time pressure. washington is concerned. it's lagging behind china when it comes to relations with our forgot figure that former trump of your officials speak about openly. how would you expect

a new administration washington to too often not the way china is making progress there? yes, 10 as making progress. but decent means that the risk of losing mo, i think that we can corporate, i'd be china, russia. we do other countries because we need to, well, because really, you know, very rich advantage. corporation butler, she really mean read the rest of the what if we need to, to live in peace, read out of that out countries, most smiles and we, and i think that so you'd be very difficult, intense about food your party to going to come to fighting against the great i was your not big guns and see the condition of the subdivision of ox pace. okay, interesting thoughts. thank you for coming in the program. live from par as more by

international consulting. not in an exclusive comment to archie, russian foreign ministry spokesman memory as a heart. if i said that the us political system is flawed, of its core, pointing to the fact that speech selection seems to prove that we're arise, the country is taken with the most up to, for me to get in the usa. judging even by the last presidential election, the citizens of the united states did not recognize the results of the election. do you remember how things ended? it ended with mass arrests and those who disagreed with the 2020 election results being labeled as internal terrorists by the us government. therefore, i believe that the main challenge for americans as a nation right now is to ensure that these results are accepted by american society . this will require addressing the experience of previous elections and finding a way to overcome any internal divisions within the country. this is not a conflict.
