Live from moscow to the world this is your R T International welcome to the program my names you know neal after a tense often wait joe biden is on course to become the 46 president of the United States but all trump appears adamant that the election was rigged readying lawsuits for the coming week. Ben swan breaks down how it all came to be. Joe biden has officially become the president elect for the United States it was saturday when that announcement was made by a number of media organizations after biden secured more than 270 electoral votes enough to put him over the top he spoke in wilmington delaware tonight alongside the 1st Vice President of the United States come all the harris 1st woman ever to ascend to the position of Vice President heres what harry had to say in introducing the new president bay have elected a president who represents the best and. A leader the world will respect and our children will look up to a commander in chief will respect our troops and keep our country safe and a president for. American the new president elect biden took to the states and i talked about the need for the nation to heal to come together and to be ready to move into a new chapter. Joe biden becomes the oldest person ever to be elected president of the United States 5 days after voting 1st closed heres some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. Theyve delivered a clear victory a Convention Victory a victory. For we the people weve won with the most groups ever crash of president ial ticket and their stupid nation 74 years. Now obviously this call doesnt come without controversy as i said a number of media organizations made this call but it doesnt officially become a fish show until the vote is certified across the United States in 50 different states and that wont happen over the course of a number of days in the meantime on monday the Trump Campaign continues to push against this and will file a number of lawsuits in court including in michigan in pennsylvania. In arizona in nevada in all of those states the president s team is claiming there has been rampant and widespread voter fraud in the fraud to actually overturn the election heres what the president had to say tonight we all know why joe biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over now to be clear its very difficult to have enough of these cases to be able to actually overturn the results of an election because its more than just being able to prove fraud you would also have to be able to prove that there was enough fraud to actually change the outcome of the election and how far does it go does it go all the way to the u. S. Supreme court in each one of these individual states that remains to be seen but in the meantime it seems that President Trump is not yet conceding the race to president elect biden we should also mention that as these cases go forward there is some precedent for this back in the year 2000 when al gore and george w. Bush ran against each other there was only one state that was ultimately contested that was the state of florida that race went on for 37 days while the new ballots were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of these Different Court challenges across the nation im dense one. Well moments after some markets placed biden firmly in the oval Office Crossroads of his supporters erupted in celebration flooding Donald Trumps home state of new york tens of thousands jubilantly took the streets elsewhere around the country from. On the east coast to Washington State in the west supporters of from pole to came out in force claiming the election was a fraud and demanding a recount gathered in florida where the incumbent prevailed and even california widely viewed as a Democrat Party stronghold. While those rallies appeared peaceful in michigan things turned ugly when the 2 opposing sides. Scuffles broke out as involving groups of people many of whom were orange more than 500 from supporters and. Chanting slogans such as for warriors are done in the hawkins join me in the studio to discuss the current doubtless fear stateside. Half the nation whatever the result in the end of the day would wake up disappointed when they read the news on the social media and thats reflected by the protests weve seen over the streets across many cities of america both celebrating badens victory and also reflected in the polling numbers though dont forget that although biden won the majority of Electoral College votes the popular vote was much closer around 75000000 for biden to 71000000 for trumbo thread yeah indeed be the highest amount for any president and the 2nd highest amount for trump so this was not a landslide victory as you quite rightly said a blue wave of democrat senators and congressmen as well also failed to materialise for the democrats a boy i didnt know remains optimistic and was adamant he was a president that can unite these divisions this was what he had to say i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Who doesnt see red states and blue states always sees the United States the bible tells us to everything there is a season a time to grow tired of repeated time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time get here on america i do so on the whole the the right words here are the time when deficient is right but its a tough task. It is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority Republican Senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take place. Seas there clear consensus which people were hoping for which the poll numbers were open for hasnt materialized what rather has materialized is the scale of polarization in u. S. Domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides trump exposed them 4 years ago in the 26 the election and this election shows they very much havent gone away. Radically as you said all the right words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for Many American listeners because weve heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent President Donald Trump now its time for america get behind the divisions have to get again. Republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one United People coming together of course is a particularly tough task given factors we should beyond bottle drops all job on to control the coronavirus pandemic how to handle that one key issue which the election was very hotly foretell which continues to polarize Economic Policy tax policy americas image abroad americas Foreign Policy these are all issues which do divide americans and which will continue to pose a challenge for this presidency and Trumps Campaign of course claims that the media in particular has been stoking these for many years and he believes that the only way he can get just this team try and get justice is in the courts yeah absolutely i mean theres been a whole. Host of allegations from Trumps Campaign. They say that a lot of the votes havent been officially counted officially certified especially in those key swing states which have been making headlines over the last few days. Trumps supporters claim that observers were allegedly not allowed into the stations to properly monitor the vote counting process. Of diseased voters were counted in favor of by. A lot of these already have been debunked by officials but nevertheless he is taking legal action litigation in many of those key states thats going to head off into next year and i mean in one way who can blame them because again going back to 4 years ago to the 26th election the democrats there were also quite sore losers i mean Hillary Clinton was adamant that the election was stolen from the thats exactly the right words and that resulted in 4 years of nearly 4 years of investigations and millions of taxpayers dollars seeking to find that link between trump and russia proving that collusion and that of course resulted in no evidence of such thing at all now ironically we see a complete role reversal here with the republicans with trump claiming the election was stolen from them and trumps presidency of course would of battle hardened him and sought him out to fight these battles because of these allegations over the last few years boyden though as we said remains optimistic that the u. S. In terms of how this election was conducted can very much show the world how its done tonight the whole world is watching america and i believe that our brand america is a beacon for the bravo. Were not only we were made not only by the example of our power but by the power are examples of most of the world which has been watching this election closely World Leaders which expressed a lot of concern over the last few days of a constitutional crisis seeking to cobble sides looking at the process the ability geisha the quart bottles which are due to go in well certainly until the end of this year probably well into next year as well theyll be looking at this and. Thinking this is a slightly different picture than the one is by presenting. During his 4 years in the white house donald trump received on precedented scrutiny from the us a style bushman of course the mass media with some even labeling him the most dangerous president ever your Senior Correspondent mara. However it ends the election trump will go down in history his vows to drain the swamp build the wall and make America Great again theyll remember him but theyll write about him will depend on the book the author the perspective if they loved him or hated. The greatest failure in the history of the United States you are a senator and the worst were president is america has ever had. The worst and most dangerous president where are you in 2070 when we had the worst president i would even argue that he is the worst worst president in American History hes the worst president the countrys ever had 4 years of trouble was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents for it was a tom what grown ups behave like children in the white house and congress in the streets todd when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed and focused entirely on everything that they despised about one another. The 252. 00 congressional votes under trumps presidency 104. 00 resulted in disputes and clashes some of the initiatives that congress voted on would to block trumps initiatives they voted to prevent votes on things that trump wanted and were not talking here about things like the wall or deporting Illegal Migrants were talking about politicians who supported trumps ideas like pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal when he was a businessman suddenly reversing their positions when he became president seemingly out of spite i believe iran will not change and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions well ultimately retaining its nuclear and nonnuclear power at this time and this place for so many reasons pulling out precipitously without our allies involved it does not achieve any of the goals we need to achieve and hurts americans in different ways but politics is politics right they fought under obama too if a little less nothing new about the media then specifically them losing their minds and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window. Digging up tax records or leaking calls to even investigating trunks foreign ties its journalism thats what journalists do its normal know what they did themselves on is out right and somewhat petty smear campaigns about how awful trump is for drinking too much diet coke about how much of a cheat trump is that golf about how bad he is at it about how his own wife doesnt want to hold his hand all cheap all dirty and for trump easy to dismiss you are shake do we are fighting the fake tears there are people in your profession that rate fake news. Im the president and your fake is the net result has been a collapse of trust in the media the news it isnt news when the publication has an evident interest in maligning someone. Never in living memory has the establishment tried to sink a president elected by the American People from before he took office with sabotage with leaks with set ups they did everything to make people believe in the trump russia collusion sham the kumi investigation the steel dossier about prostitutes and urination the Mueller Report all to make impeachment possible the impeachment of the president of the United States impeachable conduct impeachment nonetheless we should begin proceedings to impeach the president move forward with impeachment and this d president theres partners on impeachment this impeachment process cost a reported 11000000. 00 trying to impeach trump 32000000. 00 for the Mueller Report countless man hours wasted and they couldnt pull it off at the end of the day trump will be remembered if differently he was a tyrannical megalomaniac a man who drank too much cook who sucked at golf and whose hands even his own wife didnt want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who rules to drain the swamp that is washington and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future theyll agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight. Well lets delve a little deeper into the specter of things with legal and media unlist leinil always good to see you on the program the media had some water of a field day during the trump ministration can i put it to you this way why are some markets so desperate to see him depart the white house wont ratings for them now is slump with biden in charge. You know you ask the most brilliant questions ive been asking this same thing ive never ive never understood how people you know you talk about institutional media bias you think people would want to do everything in their power to keep their job to keep the thing that keeps them going imagine a white house scrum with jim acosta and who is it its president harris excuse me President Biden and they say ok. Thats nice ok what are people like large late night shows you know the cold bears and other what are they going to do talk about how great job on this and if they bring up donald trump donald trump seduced me im not the president anymore which leads me to this he will be the most powerful x. President in the history of expresident he will be sitting back courtside completely unfettered completely unedited completely an expert gated and unlimited in what he can and cant say hell be able to lob a mollet of cocktail into anything and completely redirect the attention while he truly and theoretically lost he could very well be bigger than ever and dont be surprised my good friend if you dont see trump media which many people have been talking of the longest time where he advances his own version of fox news by the way which many of his supporters have completely turned their backs on so as they say in the business it remains to be seen thats interesting isnt it because the yes i was going to us who has the trump era has it changed the American Media landscape for good you know because it seems that become much more partisan trump cuts out the middleman going on twitter and now youre talking about a person perhaps a media channel but that he heads. Are we ever going back to to normal oh god no who wants normal i dont know and what normal means to we use the phrases the new normal i mean also tell you whats happening right now there has been developed a new American Voter not left not right you know this left right paradigm this illusion has been completely destroyed this is the patriotic flag waving god fearing family loving. A binary whatever that means American Voter who has been forged and coalesced by this sense of duty not necessarily to trump but to the country you want to call a nationalism whatever you want now when you take away from the left from the all left the energy is nihilistic left who are these people are when you take away trump and you pull away imagine a a souffle or something that has inset and when you take it out of the bowl it just it just it melts there was nothing there it existed within the framework of trump it existed as a counter to trump as a as a perry as a as a riposte so to speak and what it is is when you remove that they have nothing joe biden does not have a constituency in february he lost the last 3 primaries in a row he had 14 delegates compared to Bernie Sanders a 45. 00 beauty gig 26. 00 or so camelot harris dropped out she had she was polling at 2 percent these people had no anything they were almost like the potemkin village you know they just manic and you put them in because they were the anti trump candidates and now that theyre in and once the cloud yesterday here in new york where i am were in the streets let me also tell you how is a different thing the plywood was coming off of banks Car Dealerships there was a sense that no. More rioting but what watch this new if you will reevaluation of the Political Parties the right whatever that is is much stronger much more patriotic but the left has just removed their wrestling dead for their their the whole reason for them being there in the 1st place yeah its a fascinating point one other aspect just to get you to touch upon lionel us Media Outlets theyve been talking about de paul or is ation for so long now theres a seemingly a buzz a shift the talk of unity a pretty quick change as well perhaps hypocritical with the coverage of the past 4 years of trump but maybe exactly what is needed right now or for the country what do you say to that kind of allegation let me say somebody made out of her this a. O. Is c. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who represents the far left quote socialist though shes not ring of the Democratic Party she asked her day tweeted yes that is it about time that i hope were writing down the names and archiving the tweets of those individuals who stood behind this president dare i say it you know what can you paging George Orwell youve got people right now who are saying its payback time so while we hear all of this nonsensical pablum saccharin lets all get together and and sing kumbaya you have other more dare i say radical and far more vituperative factions of the left who are calling for retribution the the quote call and by the way theres Nothing Official about this this is n. B. C. Saying he said i dont know where the official declaration is but youve already got the left saying we want paybacks we want to get these quislings these traders these you know these trump burgers and i guess show some type of retribution against a meter in social media media so that flies in the face of this is moment of equity i would dare say can i just one last point lionel. No 1st borehole more point just on this because whats the term but never picking a fight with those who by and by that are awful well he didnt he did it on more he had a lot of partisan coverage against them yet he had a record vote did you expect. That the genie is not going back in the in the bottle but he no house so more support that this is this is the new normal that you can pick a fight with the media and perhaps when. He changed everything what he did was he told the media im going to punt to use an american football term right over you i dont even need you im going to pick up my phone and im going to declare war against you by going around you and let me also tell you something when you get the chance to read the oficial numbers of the results in certain key states all of a sudden by for example they go to bed trumps up by 800000 the next morning its gone people who are dead the last arrest people who. Who i mean this is the american i know that you have to say we have been stealing elections since j. F. K. And illinois with the mob supposedly Lyndon Johnson box 13 of bush versus gore in 2000 i mean this is not the best part is we go to other countries and tell them now heres how you run an election the the fraud is show on be legal now is it enough to disqualify the whole thing but were not done with this yet and remember donald trump gave lives to people he made careers he made a he made this these past 4 years he did the worst or the best i sound like a tale of 2 cities here but he he he invigorated people he created when you take him away. Way were going to hearken back to peggy lee is that all there is wheres the fun wheres the excitement where is it do you think Joe Joe Biden reading from a prompter i mean you sure there will never be rallies like this again you will never have pet names for 4 World Leaders i mean this this will never be easy he is to believe that he has to american politics what the beatles were the popular music it changed for ever the tenor the expectation he change it all always a pleasure to have you on the program good to hear your thoughts on this line illegal and media as from new york city live on the program thank you for. The International Reaction has been rapidly coming into joe bidens projected victory israels Prime Minister welcome by all thanking donald trump for helping seal what he called historic peace accords such as the normalization of ties with the United Arab Emirates Benjamin Netanyahu called both politicians his great friends while in the e. U. Leaders have generally expressed optimism about the new face set to take charge of the Oval Office Congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the United States and to come all the harris on historic achievements the u.

It probably going to send that wouldnt be very. Old by then and then sold the Us Supreme Court it will not be sold for and it would stay the new administration but said he. Would like to have one close relationship with by then and they would try to destroy some trade the issues that say. During this is the the station if the usa would be a more global trade theyve been dead and so its nato so nato would be more active i sink it in the Europa League would be more students than europeans and it really would like a Strong America but weve seen that theyve tried with trump in power to find a leader in europe in the 1st 1st taste of matter what was coming out and theyre all trying to say ok we can do it without the United States senate because the European Union thats i mean the europeans but the European Union cannot do without a Strong American by that and i didnt bodies this is this return of america to the global scene and biden is perceived as the leader of the western world and i think that these orphans you know these are president s senator 3. Different companies and in your wanted again to have to have a leader at a desk is why they look up to bite and that theyre happy with that i dont think he could have done that with 4 more years with trump i thought is where we leave our news roundup for not but more great programs get going in moments right after we take a look at what else is coming up on our to international over the next week stay close sask is here at the top of the hour i do hope youll join her.

That its possible for some who work on the sun which they speak for. Its very nice to be locked in on his own with the. Thought which is not abusing me its all right this is happening. So we go and the reaction has been exactly the same as it was way back then journalist enough
