of all, it is a testament to the incredible resilience of the american people. , too manyclear .mericans are still suffering we cannot give up on commonsense measures like wearing masks just because we have grown tired of them. the senate will have a dizzy few weeks. i hope our democratic cap -- colleagues will put aside their all or nothing obstruction and .ave targeted pandemic relief in any event we need to fund the government, reach agreement with the house on the national defense authorization act and confirm more fully qualified nominees. so i look forward to finishing this year strong. our states and our country are counting on us. president,r: mr. last tuesday, our country conducted a national election. it was an election unlike any

character rather than understanding that you know they damn merican electorate is behaving as if all. place has been behaving that is voting on the economy and that's actually the clinton's message it's all about the economy stupid hasn't done a lot. crack that i think i think you're right not analysis when we look at the we ran sophisticated algorithms and evidence on this data we found that it was 3 out of the coronavirus did her trump obviously but over time people's concerns grew about the economy and the economy and trump was seen as better for the economy than biden was and that it did in fact make the election closer and not the blue wave that was predicted and i think in large part it was it was because of the economy and by the way the same gallup poll found that despite call it 19 and all the losses associated with it didn't your idea of respondents believe that they are now so better off than 4 years ago this is pretty amazing given that you know the poll that was taken after the it locked up you know we we hired as i was astounded by we did economist you go call which i ha

but to be honest, you know the general merican public, they just want more money. they want to be able to take care of their families. they want to be able to pay their rent. they want to be able to not worry about whether they can put food on the table. so i think that, you know, there was upset on both sides. they were upset from americans who were like nancy, just be ok, take whatever out there because we just need a check now. and you know that that's what they care about. but there are also people who are still upset that the p.p.p. loans that were supposed to help small businesses help every business that wasn't small. if you were minority owned business, you never saw that money to begin with. you know, you know, and there was a lot of people do. we never saw a single stimulus, despite the promise that being sent out now is how long ago i remember what for over a $100.00. if you're lucky, in a way back in may. i mean, that's ridiculous. i mean here's the real question though, is there are going that was too much right now, which is just a blog, was my mind,

won the largest share of voters including latino, asian merican, african americans and asian-americans. we grew our party by four million voters, the greatest turnout in republican party history. democrats are the party of the big donors, the big media, the big tech it seems. and republicans have become the party of the american worker. and that's what's happened. we're also the party of inclusion as everybody ecognizes that media polling and these phone qi polls -- fake polls were described to keep our voters at -- designed to keep our voters at home create the illusion of momentum for mr. biden and diminish republicans' abilities to raise funds. they were what we call suppression polls. everyone knows that right now. it's never been used the way it was in this last election. the day boyfriend election, quinnipiac which was wrong on every occasion that i know of had joe biden up by five points . florida and i won florida easily. easily. they had me losing florida bay lot. other than that, they were very accurate. they had him up four points in were up by 12.2 points. and i won the sta

what i figured out,merican democracy has within it a fundamental contradiction and that is the founders who came up with the idea that all men are eated equal, in fact of a human being being enslaved afcan, being enslaved indigenous people and they considered women a lessereing altogether, here was the concept american equality and also the concept of american inequality in that contradicti contradiction, tha paradox has driven our politics ever since becaus what that did, gave to oligarchs the languageo undermine democracy. the way it works with this, oligarchs have been able since a beginning to convince voters, whit male voters, the people who are cated equal from the start, anytime the people of color or women begin to approach her quality with american paradox what it would mean for women o people of color to get equality with inequity for the white men who had initially been the on included in the idea that all men are creed equal. with that to the first american paradox, we have whin ourselves within this country a fundamental weakness of american democracy. the book takes the ce

'd ahead with a european version of a digital tax, on the other side, merican partners have gone ahead with the big corporate tax of the week phone, which has cost european taxpayers billions and therefore it's understandable that hasn't front front doesn't want to wait any longer. however, i think the biden administration, he serves a chance in the o.e.c.d. negotiations of about how for years the current us administration has vowed to retaliate with terrorists of about want to have $1000000000.00 on french goods. how secure a position itself should be biden and ministrations. stick to that plan well, 1st, i believe that america probably get into trouble with such tariffs, speak course, and they may well not correspond to w t. o. rules. however, i believe that we should be restyled beleaguer share a sions at the o.e.c.d. for digital tax reform. but also for a global deal on corporate minimum taxation. if we achieve such a deal, this will be economically more efficient and also in the end bring more income now and that note, britain, spain, italy, and other european countries have also

will stick on things and us at the national scale back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the deal and i would be a losing show one by elsa store on her by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the groups who were to prove your union the united. around great secret. lulay a dwarf you going to call. you and now almost a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time we went to russia. on probably the worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. what a wonderful trip this is ben the big dollar oil level. par we told you the 5 it was going to compete with gold to take over the world it was in fact perfect money and still is in the ball for ever more be. left to fighting for his life a priest who was shot outside an orthodox church in the french city of. police have a suspect in custody but their involvement and the motive is still unconfirmed incident comes just 2 days after a terrorist brutally murdered 3

yes, but as the race went, merican meg with supporters on both sides, claiming victory was within theirgrasp. the rules of the game changed, sir. what do you say to the americans that are anxious over the fact that president trump has yet to concede and what that might mean for the country? well, i just think it's a baseless claims by the president and his supporters, that there's been widespread voter fraud and that the election was somehow really are stolen from president trump. that kind of rhetoric is extremely dangerous, extremely poisonous to our democracy. if i were an intelligence analyst in a foreign country looking at the united states, you know, i'd be, i'd be writing up the slow slide into autocracy. there was a time when democrats saw things differently and their candidates lost by more electoral college votes than this election was viewed as an injustice. as i've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign. you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you. the kremlin was allegedly behind that election result

voters donald trump predicts what he calls another beautiful picture in his challenger joe biden tells merican that was the time to end the kale . and germany has begun to walk down chancellor merkel defended the country's new coronavirus restrictions citing a surge in new infections and a growing number of patients in intensive care. hello i'm terry margin good to have you with us 4 people have been killed and more than a dozen wounded in what the us austrian government is calling an islamist terror attack a gunman opened fire at multiple locations in the center of vienna on monday evening police say they shot and killed one attacker and are hunting one or more assailants still at large. panic on the streets of vienna the shooting began around 8 pm and police quickly flooded the city center it was an unseasonably warm evening and bars and restaurants were crowded ahead of a partial lockdown beginning tuesday gunman opened fire at least 6 locations the 1st reports came from the of the city's main synagogue it was closed at the time but a rabbi watched the horror unfold from his window. i saw t

netanyahu has long given up on the idea that his close allies in the united states would be damn merican, jewish community. the american jewish community overwhelmingly votes for democrats . they are overwhelmingly opposed to dollar trump. they're overwhelmingly in support of the iran nuclear deal, and they're very, very skeptical if not opposed to settlements. so those are not his allies. his, allies are m., angelical christians, who actually have a theological affinity with israel. one that is somewhat strange at the end of the day because they envision that israel needs to get strong in order for christ to return. but at that moment, anyone who is not a christian or does not converting to christianity will be killed. but that is actually a very strong motivating factor for people like him feel who is embedded jellicoe, and has been talking about these things quite a lot, at least prior to becoming secretary of state. so let me just says the more time, what do you think than we've so happening today was this early campaigning by pump a 0 for president in 2024 or was he doing campaign w

hold people accountable the problem is that that's not what we're looking for right now the american merican people want to hug not a not a verbal barb they want someone who feels them not just someone who who intellectually understands what's going on in context and houses of the polling the view him as good is a failed way you go in how you see things. well my mask is actually about 10 feet away from me on my dining room table fortunately i'm not polling any one of my home so that that helps i have not done any in face focus groups i have gone out to do want to one interviews and 3 on one interviews in fact i was just on the road this weekend i've been on the road now almost straight for the last 2 months and unlike you i went through a health scare for a while and i have to be careful that said i need to keep listening and learning from the public and as understanding where they stand is really essential and it's never been more sense of the now to try to be able to explain both the hopes that people have hopes and dreams and to be able to explain their fear and anxiety and larry let me j

what it wants to know why the bill excludes and merican a sense allowing an international prosecutions ati's down. of course, a small washington's rolled out its latest offensive in the war on performance enhancing drugs. it's called the rod chunk of act, anti doping act of 2019, which strengthened the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in international doping fraud conspiracy. the act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to $1000000.00, as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. a dream come true for the usa today . it is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide, and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good looks promising enough on paper. but here comes the double standard. u.s. politicians are more than happy to put foreigners behind bars for doping while the bill gives american athletes. a free pass. du

into this process so many more people that they'll understand how americans really think and i'll merican really feel and when you get it wrong it's your responsibility to fix it i'm jewish and we don't have a process of of and now i need to know what to call it confessions. and i look at my entire life as a confession if i get something wrong i don't want to confess to a religious leader i want to confess to the people who i may have wrong and that's why i said and i down the church on john mclaughlin that his polling was still better he made mistakes and a lot of the states he said donald trump would win we're going to find out that it's actually losing but he was so much closer to the results and i think that we will be a better country and a better people and a better to mock receive and a better by signing if we would learn to acknowledge our mistakes well frank luntz pollster extraordinary you and i have like have a deal with each other never to be put to polite and nice but not a bad discussion at all want to thank you very much for your time this evening thank you we'll have you b

know i heard you put a moment ago biden said that he received more votes than any other candidate merican history but 74000000 that's true trump received 71000000 right so i know people don't like donald trump maybe your audience particularly but there's a significant chunk of americans who like him and voted for him despite everything that's happened the last 4 years perhaps because everything has happened last 4 years and a lot of them but firmly believe that this election was a scam and that they were they were ripped off so what i would like to see is if there's evidence of massive widespread voter fraud bring it forward of the courts consider the evidence and say this is not substantial it's not real that that point the people i think want to move on with their lives and say ok those election we had 71000000 votes of this i had 74000000 votes and in 5 states were very close margins we just didn't cut it try again in 4 years now i think that's the the posture what people should take when they take it i can't tell you i guess if biden's dream of unity is to be achieved though those peo

well the 1st ration here is real because congress knows because that merican public has been asking for this for so long now we saw the 1st round of stimulus and it dried up a long time ago. the push for another round of stimulus was supposed to come in creasing lee fast alligators. and yet we see, yeah, we still have not seen that. and we're seeing more and more people in the unemployment rolls since donald trump slink back. and we're going to have it then he pulled back and said, no, we're not going to do it. then he basically coaxed his reelection hopes on it. and now he sees no reason to do it whatsoever. congress for its part, you know, nancy pelosi met with and again, actually did not want the stimulus package that was put up by the republicans because she didn't think it was enough. not only did she not think it was enough, there were some riders that if they would have helped a lot of large corporations, like the ones you talked about earlier, that she was very much against. but to be honest, you know, the general american public, they just want more money. they want to be able

[cheers and applause] the armed forces in the united states are the greatest force for good in the history of the world. and we're going to make the strongest military in the world stronger still. with four more years. cheers and applause] standing with our military and their families. we talked about standing with you -- [indiscernible] -- you know, when joe biden was vice resident, america saw years of scandal that shocked the conscience of. we had veterans dying on waiting lists to get care in v.a. hospitals. under president donald trump those days are over. we passed reform to the v.a. in a 15 years and veterans' choice is now available turnover veteran in america. [cheers and applause] -- available to every veteran in america. [cheers and applause] support for our military, support for our veterans, it's one more reason why we need pennsylvania to send a decorated combat veteran, a man who loves this country and will fight to keep america safe, to the copping of t

and of course also in the last few years or so, you merican statements have looked for what is going on in that part of the world. how to start troy has become how terrible that the human cost has been. so i would expect to reverse that course and not too soon for saudi arabia or yes said so, and of course us mil got to see their quality issues and they say things during combat. it's therefore up with these statements, but i would expect a biden to do so it clearly is more in favor of human rights, for example, in general. then for example, president trump, who never even use a term of human rights. well, you didn't hear my next question, and i think it's partially time that ties meant that my questions about your choice of vocabulary that is befriending the autocratic leader, is because it's true that donald trump had a more pragmatic, last moralistic approach to foreign policy. and i think it's high time where the will to debate how we define morality in international relations. what is good and what is bad? what are the limits? the legitimate uses of military power, so that we don

a good theory of i i think it's more so she passed by and merican psychological john lives the way he proposes that there's a gene that these people carry that goes into being very effective in situations where not taking other people's emotional needs into account is actually quite effective and uses the example of hunter gathering societies or vikings where being a warrior who's remorseless and relentless in your pursuit if you are desires and goals is actually quite helpful but in a modern society where we're all supposed to be networked and part of social groupings around each other being a sort of lone wolf who's not accountable and doesn't really think about other people's emotional responses to our actions isn't very valuable and actually gets you labeled as a psychopath and a deviant and a widow but if we were able to find a way to sort of encouraged sika pass through a process that rather than punishment encouragement to try and get in to identify more pro-social girls and to understand how other people will respond to that more unappealing social traits that say that that's

tv, ♪ merican history thisweekend on c-span3. >> the middle east institute hosted a discussion mondaythe incoming biden administration and u.s. relations in the region, watch live at 10:00 eastern on c-span, online at c-span.org, or listen on the free c-span radio app. >> in this last half-hour we will talk about the security of the 2020 election. and the federal state panel, calling it the most secure in american history. axios reporting saying axios reporting saying officials made up from the cyber security agency and its election partners refuted president trumps claims of widespread voter fraud in a statement thursday calling the election the most secure and american history. i will redo some of the statement police late yesterday.

interesting one that is in the state of the nation as we head into the biden administration, state of the merican debt slaves, q 32020, the stimulus and forbearance phenomenon. what they show 1st of all, just look at that quick chart of the credit card is that all the stimulus did go to pay down the credit card debt, which of course means more bailouts will have to come from banks because they're not printing money. essentially, with all this credit card, the high interest on the credit card because the $1200.00, most people apparently put it towards their credit card debts which are huge. but the important thing as we head into this, by the end of ministration and of further lockdowns and how many trillions that's going to cost, who knows? but one thing we've been covering, and especially since 2008, you know, when student loan debts started to just really explode, this is through the into loan debts and that's just goes back to 2006 when it was a tiny, tiny cute, sweet little $400000000000.00. and now it's $1.00 trillion. well, apparently, student loans continue to surge despite declining enrol

they owe it to a judge and he merican people to share in a court of law x. . why don't you wait here in about an hour starting a american court system? let ice skater example i publish up on my rights at the voter file. i'm not saying that a clark county and watershed county in reno want to get that experience credit list . there were nearly 4000 people base and i'm just one person who decided to do the work on that decision and i haven't said it, but overall i found it to them how. how many other cases are there? we don't know, but will see that if you take a course of action, peter slight, let the electoral college doesn't even need to re-enter the center for their duty. i predict peter, and i'm gonna jump ahead your prediction. you will see the cases aren't going by. great, you will see the light bulb start to gather in the coldest sacks cold as that, and every electoral college to elect or an average secretary of state who dares to not certify the job like that. and believe me, the crowds that are out d.n.c. around and having fun on saturday are just like
