Celebrate with large antigovernment demonstrations. U. S. President elect joe biden is once again criticized the current president for denying his victory. He branded Donald Trumps obstruction during a worsening pandemic as totally irresponsible and debilitating. The incoming leader made the comment and discussed how to tackle the coronavirus pandemic once hes in power. Biden was asked what trumps action display to the american people. I think theyre witnessing incredible irresponsibility, incredibly damaging messages being sent to the world how democracy functions. And i think it is well, i dont know his motive. But i just think its totally irresponsible. Anchor alan fisher is live for us at the white house. Alan, you had the sound bite. Strong words but it is a combination of frustration or anger or Something Else . Theres certainly a change of the tone of voice. Now, you can hear there is slightly more anger. There are those around joe biden who suggest he should go to court and challenge the Trump Administration and make sure that their transition starts. Theres a couple of reasons why hes not keen. First of all, hes painted himself as a man who can walk with republicans. He doesnt want to go to court before hes into the oval office. The law is written in such a way theres no exact date of when the transition should start. You should go back to 2000, and it was more than 30 days before any transition started there. So theres precedent. You really dont want a legal defeat before youre even in the oval office there. But, he is getting support. The chamber of commerce very pro Business Organization in the United States has said the transition has to start. The manufacturing association, it tends to support republican candidates. It says that damage is being done by delaying the transition. Theres planning to be done for the economy and also how covid vaccines will be released. That sort of thing. So you can understand that hes trying to put political pressure and also move Public Opinion to get the Trump Administration to start moving towards that transition. Now, alan, the president Donald Trumps legal team has been speaking. Im struggling to come with an appropriate question to ask you. So im just going to ask you to explain it for us. Well, its difficult to try to explain it to an International Audience when a lot of the allegations that are made simply dont stand up in fact. Rudy giuliani claimed that joe biden assembled the best stealing organization in the world. Thats actually a manipulated video that you can find in the dark places of the internet. He claimed there is widespread voter fraud. He has appeared in court and said hes not making the claim of widespread voter fraud. And one of the other lawyers suggested that this was an International Conspiracy that the democrats were happy to go along with. The dominion voting systems, the Smartmatic Technology software and the software that goes into other computerized voting systems here, not just dominion, were created in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out. We have one very strong witness who has explained how it all works so lets just fact check a couple of things. Hugo chavez died in 2013. The dominion voting systems were actually developed in canada. They arent suggesting that there was any problem with the dominion systems that were used where donald trump won the election. And also then none of their cases have stood up in court. I think they have 25 legal actions in states across the country and theyve lost 24 of them. Donald trump is inviting two lawmakers, two republicans to the white house on friday. Theres a suggestion that he might get republican states to send protrump delegations to the Electoral College ignoring the popular vote but that is a legally dubious move. We should find out more after that meeting on friday. Anchor alan fisher, thank you very much. The u. S.

I dont think that the government knows the truex tent of the humanitarian situation on the ground.
