00:00With this, and with Pennsylvania so, so close to being called,

00:06we could now announce that Donald Trump is the winner of this election.

00:12This will be confirmed, of course, in the coming hours as the final results are coming in.

00:18But everything indicates that that is the decision of the U.S. people in this democratic system, at least.

00:28And so we reiterate, we were looking at the results, and as we waited for the swing states

00:38that are very, very close to finish their vote count,

00:46we were talking about Pennsylvania with 19 delegates to go,

00:55and some media outlets have even called it so far, and that is showing a lead for 51.

01:04So really, the chance that this could be reverted is pretty much to none.

01:11So that is why we are announcing this result.

01:15Yeah, precisely.

01:16And one of the many things that we wanted to add is that Trump, he has been tweeting

01:22and his affiliates have been calling the victory one way or the other and being optimistic and vocal about it.

01:30But there is a grim silence on the Democrats' side.

01:34Kamala Harris has not tweeted yet.

01:37He has not issued any statement, any posts, okay?

01:42She has said that in any case, if she lost the election, she will concede.

01:47And it's also a false projection amongst the American people.

01:52They are saying that they are trust, that they are confident that she will concede and go through this process

02:00without any, you know, complaints or any kind of violent remarks.

02:07And this is the scenario that is unfolding in front of us right now

02:12with this more steady trend and more steady possible outcome in these elections.

02:20Danny?

02:22Yeah, it's interesting to look at the popular vote for the past few days.

02:26We've been, of course, critiquing and exposing the Electoral College.

02:31This is not a democracy by any sense of the word.

02:34In fact, if the electors, the unelected electors now decide that they don't want to recognize this result,

02:41they could throw it all out the window because they have the final say.

02:46But in terms of the popular vote, which Trump lost in 2016, which Al Gore won in 2000 against Bush,

02:59but this time Trump, as of right now, there's still so many different votes to come in from different states.

03:07I think roughly 83 percent of the total popular vote is in, but Trump's above 67 million votes.

03:15Kamala Harris lags behind at less than 62 million votes.

03:20So even in the popular vote, the people of the United States have spoken.

03:26These vote tallies are less than four years ago.

03:31So I think we're going to see roughly 58 to 61 percent of eligible voters who participated.

03:39But those numbers will continue to rise up as many votes have not come in, specifically from the West Coast states.

03:47We've heard of irregularities in Pennsylvania, in Michigan.

03:52So the numbers could exceed the total vote counts from 2020, which is something that the ruling class relies upon,

04:00because they're trying to showcase, quote unquote, their democracy to other countries across the world.

04:07So for them, it's very embarrassing when less than 60 percent of the U.S. electorate even participates,

04:15because that means people don't even trust the election enough to participate.

04:21So we'll see how these numbers shake out.

04:24But it appears now, as we've just announced, it's an irreversible victory for the GOP, for the Republicans,

04:32for this backlash against neoliberalism, against the identity politics agenda that we laid out earlier in the program.

04:43Exactly. And of course, what comes now is the analysis of what is that country.
