News, or visit our website. Dot com. It has been one week since the u. S. President ial election and votes are still being counted in 4 states. That is not unusual. There have been no reports of ballot tampering. Thats also not unusual. And the vote count shows a clear winner also not unusual, but president on one trump is refusing to accept that he is not the winner saying with no proof that the election was stolen. And he is blocking the process that allows for a seamless transfer of power. And that is unprecedented. I bring golf in berlin. This is the day not unusual. Should not be alarming. It looks to me, it is not over far from it. President dropped it 100 percent. Were going to rise to look into allegations of if there were regularities. What we are seeing is deeply alarming. At some point here, well find out finally who is certified in each of the state conservative republicans. Fred, isnt it just because theres no reason for alarm . Also coming up in the walk downs of the pandemic going shopping means going online. It has been a boon for the online retailer, amazon. But the European Union says amazons growth comes with a price that consumers should not have to pay. And we have now come to this preliminary conclusion that amazon illegally abused them in the station as a Marketplace Service provider in germany and france, the biggest marketplaces for m. S. N. In the European Union to our viewers watching on p. B. S. In the United States. And to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with a u. S. President elect preparing so that he can hit the ground running and the sitting u. S. President standing in the way. In the weeks since the election, joe biden has wasted no time with celebrating yesterday, he appointed a coded 19 commission to help develop a National Strategy for dealing with the pandemic. World leaders continue to congratulate biden. Today, the president elect spoke with the german chancellor and the british prime minister. Now in stark contrast, president elect biden has spoken with very few republican members of congress. They continue to be silent as president from continues to claim that democrats stole the election and offer no evidence to back those claims. The false accusations have been so outrageous that u. S. Media have interrupted White House Press briefings in order to flag those untruths to the viewers. This is just part of what the white house and the Republican Party said it yesterday. This election is not over far from it. We have only begun the process of obtaining an accurate, honest vote count. We wanted honest, accurate, lawful count. We want maximum sunlight. We want maximum transparency. We want every illegal vote to be counted and we want every illegal vote to be discarded. If the shoe were on the other foot, if it were this, close the other way president trampled on the lead and all the fates and the media be screaming. This isnt over the race isnt over, we mean more time to count to make sure its right because its biden and very slightly the media demands the race is over and theres nothing to see here. If you republicans are talking publicly about the election. My next guest, he may be an exception. Joe watkins served as an aide to president george h. W. Bush. He is also a pastor in philadelphia, and that is where he is joining me from to no i. Mr. Watkins, its good to have you. On the day you worked for the 1st bush president , his son, he was president from 2002008, has congratulated joe biden on winning. How do you explain this this relative silence among republicans in congress concerning the election . Well i think dishonest is pretty much short term i think that if you consider what people. Ready have to gain or lose in the short term. You might better understand their silence. I think that most members of the senate, republican members of the senate, certainly along with most members of the republican house, believe that joe biden has won the election fair and square as we say. And that there is the president elect. For the most part, theyre allowing the president to exercise is his right as a candidate to, to, to question the votes and certainly to seek any legal redress that he might want to seek. And just because hes seeking legal redress doesnt mean hes going to find that there were any irregularities, doesnt mean that the courts going to find his favor. As a matter of fact, most people expect the courts not find anything in his favor. That being sent there, giving the president that latitude that freedom for them except for the next few days to exercise his right as president is a candidate for the presidency to, to, to, to make legal challenges. But i think that for most of the members of the u. S. Senate in the u. S. House, they believe that joe biden has won the election and is the president elect of the United States. When we know that the president , at least publicly and says, he does not believe that we also know that he is starting a super pac, which will allow him to raise money for political purposes. Now, this tells us that mr. Trump is not planning to depart from politics any time soon. Do you think donald trump, do you think he will run for president in 2024 . Well, thats what theres always the possibility that he could. Clearly theres nothing that would bar him constitutionally from seeking a 2nd term if he chooses to be a candidate in the primary. And in 2024, there are a lot of other republicans as well who would like to have the chance to serve. But this president did get 70 over 70000000 votes, which is a substantial number of votes. The question would be Going Forward is can he retained that based support and win those people to a side even as we head into 20212022 . Certainly, well invest 2024 miss one because you know, you mentioned this more than 70000000 people voted for donald trump, and thats despite everything that he has said and done. Things that violate decency civility. And some people would say even democracy. How do you explain that to our global viewers when they ask, what has happened to america . Well, what i say is that this is the part of the democratic process that it allows for everybody to be heard. Even people who may not be civil gives them a chance to be heard to have their say in the public square. And then for americans to vote either for of yes, youre in a, based on what they think. And so while for many people in the United States and even throughout the world, the lack of civility was a problem. At the end of the day, even people who arent similarly not states have a chance to be heard. And if theyre able to be elected, then they are, and they have a chance to vote to, to fashion laws in this country if youre elected to the house of the senate, or if youre elected president. But again, its the peoples choice in the United States. No matter what happens, its the will of the American People, and certainly in this cycle, the will of the American People was to elect joe biden, the next prez of the United States. And so i suspect that in the coming days, maybe by that weekend, we may have more republicans out front publicly that is elected republican senators and congressman acknowledging preselect binds when it, congratulating him for that win. And then hopefully the Movement Forward for transition. Do you, do you think that there will be a group of republican members of congress who will go to the president and say, mr. President , the time has come, you have to admit that you lost this election . Likely not likely not. And i say likely not because you have to consider whats at stake for republicans, certainly in the senate in the senate. Remember right now we have something akin to a tie. I think about 4848. There are still 3 races that are, that are yet to be decided. And so as long as you, you dont know what the outcome of those races are going to be, you have jockeying on the sony on the republican side as well as on the democratic side because Mitch Mcconnell was remain the majority leader. Hes got to have a majority of republicans in the senate, so youve got 2 republican, 2 republican senators in georgia who are going to be involved in a runoff races in the coming weeks. And i think a senator in North Carolina has not yet been certified as the winner cells. Right . Hes got it, hes got to consider all these things. So what youre saying this is, this is basically about power politics. And after 4 years of trump ism in the, g. O. P. Do you think that maybe the soul of the party needs to be checked . Or that does the g. O. P. Deserve a 2nd chance or a rebirth . Well, weve got some wonderful people in the Republican Party and the hope for the party Going Forward is the same with the hope for the country that, that the people in the party will listen to the better angels of our nature as leading voices in the party. And that people that emerge to the top of the, of the heat, or are folks who are civil and who want to work with democrats and republicans to move the country forward and who understand all the challenges that we face it in the United States and around the world, whether its our own economy of the Global Economy or climate. These are all things that are important to all of us. And so the hope is that Republican Party can can recoup after joe biden takes the oath of office. Republicans will have to work hard to put together a winning coalition, still have to have to draw up on the existing base of the party, but also build with the, with, with minorities, with africanamericans, with latino voters, with women, with voters that they havent done particularly well with in the past to build what they hope will be a majority for the midterm elections in 2022. I want to speak to you the joe watkins. Hes the pastor and not the republican strategist here for a moment. President trumps spiritual advisor, paula white she has made a name for herself internationally. Shes known for her prosperity. Christianity, if youre rich, its because youre living right. She has said that when she sees democrats, she sees the devil and she has the ear of the president. Does that, does that worry you . Well, the, i know one thing having been around for a long time, the ministrations come and go, advisers do it. President s come and go. This far as the gospel of christ is concerned, its on changing at the same. It has nothing to do with how much money you have. It has everything to do with whether or not you surrender and follow christ. When youre on a path that leads to turn a life. And whether and thats based on whether or not youre willing to help to feed those who are hungry and give drink to those who are thirsty and to not consider what their stance is with their core rich, but to love them anyway. Because we believe that god loves all of us. So im not worried. The white is there for the time being. But, but i work for u. S. President in the white house. My daughter worked in the white house for another us president. So the president s come and they go into a bigger advisors, so im not worried about the future. Im confident about the future, but we certainly do appreciate and like your optimism, mr. Watkins jaywalkers. Joining us tonight from pennsylvania. Good. Having you on the show, we appreciate your insights tonight. Thank you. I will be with thanks. But when a u. S. President wins a 2nd term, it is not unusual for the president to rearrange reshuffle his cabinet. When a u. S. President loses the election, he usually leaves things as it is, which makes transferring power to a new administration easier rules and traditions like this. While they have been broken and busted, often by president dropped yesterday, he fired at mark esper, the secretary of defense, and he did it with a tweet. And this is what trump tweeted. He writes, i am pleased to announce that christopher c. Miller, the highly respected director of the National Counterterrorism center, unanimously confirmed by the senate will be acting secretary of defense effective immediately. He goes on to write, chris will do a great job. Mark esper has been terminated. I would like to thank him for his service and with that the secretary of defense was fired. Well, im joined tonight by bradley bowman. Hes a senior director at the foundation for defense of democracies. He has been a National Security advisor in the u. S. Senate. He served in the u. S. Army. Fred, its good to have you back here on the day. What does firing mark immediately after an election and in the middle of a disputed election outcome . What does that mean for u. S. Security and the morale of u. S. Servicemen and women . I know thanks for the opportunity join you going. Its a pleasure and an honor. I think morale of our servicemen and women will be ok. I think our allies and im certain, you know, the u. S. Maintains the preeminent military capability, which means defend our interests and those are our allies. But i must say that this firing of mark is unfortunate both in terms of the manner of how it was done and also its timing. As for was expected to be fired earlier this year, he did not support trumps notion of deploying the military in the u. S. Military to quell protests and riots within the u. S. Stance. It is the stance that is taken by i would say all leaders at the pentagon, can we say that the pentagon and the president right now are about as a strange day as they have been i wouldnt, i would say there are real issues there and youve highlighted one of them, you know, i would say the pentagon, right . Because thats kind of amorphous. And most of the people serving in the pentagon are either Service Members or our department of defense civilians and all of them have sworn no, its not to our president. The constitution, but theres no doubt there were real issues between mark as for whom i know and respect and the president. And the irony here is one of my colleagues at my think tank has said, is that, you know, the president president , trump kind of mocks mark as for calling them yes. For money. Yes, hes a yes man. And really, and, but the reality is it looks like he was fired because he was anything but a yes maam. In other words, real area difference. Those questions about that and naming of u. S. Bases on pick confederate generals were more essar, appeared to be taking action inconsistent with the president s view. And then the subsequent statements by secretary asked for after the unfortunate incident in Lafayette Park on you know, what does all of this mean for those who are under just under the secretary of defense . You know, they are the ones who would have to carry out an order from the president in a military conflict, for example, they would be held responsible. Can you imagine them carrying out an order from president trump, if that order word to be illegal or unconstitutional, or maybe violate a treaty . Well, its a great question. One of the reasons why i said a moment ago, i felt like the timing was unfortunate was because, you know, were in a period of transition here to say the least in the United States. And we really do need leadership in the pentagon right now in my view, is willing to as appropriate pushback on bad ideas that may emanate from the white house, right . In my view, weve had of one or 2 of those in the last 3 and a half 4 years. And its not a good time to have an acting secretary leading the department of defense. So that is concerning. I would also knows james anderson, the acting under secretary of defense for policy, also resigned today. So you really see this dramatic changes at the top of the pentagon. So i am concerned, but i do take some comfort in the following. When i was serving in the army myself, i am was an assistant professor at west point. Its not a class american politics in the 1st class. I would always remind the cadets future Army Officers that their oath was to the constitution not to any individual, not to any president. And i think, i think our Service Members will remember that as they always have done till phil faithful to that constitution, our country is going to be ok, but its going to be, its going to be a rough couple months unfortunately, i think. But we got through, you know, you use speak to the servicemen, the people who make up the military, you know, the Defense Community in washington. I mean, the president firing his secretary of defense with a tweet or even in that tweet. You know, trump succeeded in belittling mr. Asper, just by the way, he wrote it. I mean, is this a commander in chief that people in the military . Can they respect donald trump . Well, you know, its a good question. I would want to pretend to speak and, you know, ask me, do you got to speak for all of them . But you know, there are the ports by the atlantic and others about what the president reportedly said. Obviously that doesnt sit well with a lot of people. You want your commander in chief to have the best interests at heart of Service Members and their families here. You know, but you know, i, like i said, i know who are asked for from before he served in the pentagon. Lets remember him. He served 20 years in the u. S. Army. He served impressively in my view as secretary armitage, and hes also served honorably as secretary of defense. You know, we can, we can debate, you know, this is pauls is good. That policy is bad note. No man or woman is perfect. But you know, this is not how any human being should be treated, particularly someone who served our country so honorably. Its unfortunate that weve arrived at this place in american domestic politics where we treat of political adversaries or people we disagree with as enemies. We have too many real enemies in the world to be treating our feltus that way. I think its unfortunate, intentionally dangerous. I think there are a lot of people on both sides of the atlantic, who would agree with you 100 percent on that broad bowman senior director at the foundation for defense of democracies in washington. Fred, its always its, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with this and we appreciate your insights. Thank you. Thank you so much. Take care amazon is harming fair competition here in europe. That is what the European Commission said today when it filed antitrust charges against amazon. It accuses the ecommerce giant of attempting to gain an unfair advantage over sellers on its plan for. The Commission Says amazon collects nonpublic data from sellers and consumers and uses that data to leverage its dominance in its 2 biggest european markets, france and germany. The European Union started looking into amazon back in 28. 00, teen amazon faces a possible fine of up to 10 percent of its annual worldwide revenue that could amount to billions of dollars. The company has rejected the accusations and here is what the e. U. Commission executive Vice President said today about amazon. The concern is not about Amazon Retail, about the insights that imus and retailers has inches, that sense its in this instance of one particular set. Rather, they are about the insights that Amazon Retail has about accumulates in this estate at a more than 800 sounds and active service in the European Union covering more than at 1000000000 products. In other words, this is a case about big data we have. Theres will come to the preliminary conclusion that the use of these data and allows amazon to focus on the sale of the best selling products. And this motion i marginalize this 3rd Party Centers and caps, their ability to grow. So our consumers getting a bad deal when they buy or so long amazon. Lets pose that question tonight to our, goldstein view is with the European Consumer Organisation b e. U. C. , which lobbies for consumer interest and protection at the European Union. Its good to have you on the show. I hope i got your, your name right. Is mr rate, is that correct . Right. To be good evening. Do you agree with the European Commission . Is amazon hurting competition . And is the consumer paying for it . Because were going to stations, we are equally concerned that imus on good be using this commercially Sensitive Information it collects in its platform to unfairly influence consumers to favor. Im a song on products and here were talking about Sensitive Information that could arrange for on the number of orders, a ship units of products, the sellers raving us on the marketplace, the number of visits to sellers all 1st they to relating to shipping or to the sellers, bus performance will be talking about a switch done to the amount of they to us, executive Vice President of the steiger mentioned, and these practices might end up harming consumers in the need to mind the long term buy favor in its own broader son, making it harder for the sellers to compete on a slim could be reducing Consumer Choice of broad looks and sellers. And in the long run, even increasing prices and consumers have to pay due to their, to the lack of competition. Soon youre talking about an extremely important case. I know that when you use amazon, it is true the, the independent sellers, the offers that they make, its always in smaller print. And amazon doesnt really make it obvious to you when youre looking at their page. But what would you say to those sellers who would argue that there is no other platform that is going to give them exposure to such a Large Customer base as amazon . Well, it does except leave the problem that we are where we are facing and theyre on the retailers are facing because theyre not other options. So they have to accept the conditions imposed by by amazon basically that isa great degree of the pendency. I feel think about the, the current and then make and when shops have to close their, their doors. Due to their own different confinement and the measures taken minute by, by different member states. A consumer have to go and buy online and consumable rushing to choose to amazon. So basically, the retailers, the birth, depending heavily on amazon to retail customers. So what do you want . What would you like to see amazon do . If, if they were willing to do whatever you said in order to get rid of this antitrust suit, what would they have to do . Well, for that would have to address them the specific on songs on, on stress investigation, takes time. And we will be able to assess, indeed they then disco of the harm on their, on the effects of these, of these practices. So certainly, if i was on to address these them these concerns that will help to discuss how to deal with the state, the practices. We do commissions in a way that they dont get an unfair competitive advantage by gaining these data on their way to enforce a you sit beside the retailers. Its going to about 30 seconds. Here is one of the get your thoughts about. We see the European Union taking issue with google for example. And now with amazon is the consumer in the European Union, enjoying the, in your opinion, the best protection that it can get anywhere on the globe. Us consumers in them are being, you know, we are in a privileged position compared to consumers in other parts of the world. Not only regarding competition, ogleby sort of enforcement, but also consumer law that the protection of those deprived and however, is that we have talking about global companies. These situations on, on this probably need to be tackled globalise. So we also depend to something extent on others. Each and actually taking action against against these companies is a very good point because the size matters with Companies Like this. Augustine rainer with the European Consumer Organisation b e. U. See this thread. We appreciate your time and your insights tonight. Thank you. Thank you very much. And i sitting well the day is almost on the conversation, it continues online to find us on twitter either at u. W. News or you can follow me at brant go off t. V.
