I've been 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: waiting four years for this. It's all going down in 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: the US and see political editor from Channel nine Charles 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: Croucher joining us on the day. 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: Crouch Morning, Lauren Clai. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: Great, my gosh. Is it excitement or nerves or what's 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 3: the feeling over in the States? 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Charles, I reckon a whole lot of nerves. A lot 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: of young people voting for the first time, they're excited. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: The rest of the country, the rest of the world 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: really is probably nervous at the moment, sitting and waiting 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: to see what the results are, if those results are accepted, 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 2: and how long it all takes. But I can tell 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: you there are a lot of voters, particularly in the 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: swing states, that will be excited at the end of 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: the day because they can turn on the footy, turn 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: on the sea, click on the radio and not hear 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: another moodigal ad bomb blood of billions of dollars worth 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: of a. 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 4: Wow, Crouch. It sounds like women have turned out in droves. 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 4: What does that point to? 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that points to Carmela Harris. I mean the big 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: thing that has changed in the last four years, apart 25 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: from Carmla Harris placing Joe Biden is there was a 26 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: decision by the Supreme Court here that overturned the Roe 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: versus Lay decision that effectively gave women the right to 28 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: choose when it comes to abortions. That's been overturned, and 29 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: in some states it's been overturned dramatically, and there are 30 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: no rights to things even with medical procedures and others circumstances. 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: So if there is a big woman vote today, if 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: the ladies show up, that is a good sign for 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: Carmla Harris because they are voting on this issue and 34 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Democrats know it. There's the campaigning with a pretty prominent 35 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: Republican liszt Chaney. She's been out effectively giving women permission 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: to go and vote against the party that they've loved, 37 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: the Republican Party. And there's even been ads featuring Julia 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: Roberts of all people, efectively saying that the ballot box 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: and the ballot booth is one of the few places 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: that is still private and women may still get to 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: choose and they can, you know, tell their husbands, tell 42 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: their family, their voting for someone and vote for someone. 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: Else, isn't it is? It is private and people you 44 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: can say one thing and do the other. But Charles, 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: this has got to be the most celebrity indoorsed election 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: of all time. 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Right, It's been right up there, you know, And and 48 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to say on both sides, Donald Trump has 49 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: the one Musk and Hulk Cogan and are putting. 50 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: In has been able to rip his shirt off yet 51 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: because it looks. 52 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: Like drawing, which we checked back in there. He had 53 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: a rest there. Eventually, Gla. Harris closed with a big 54 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: conte Esday with headlined by over Ricky Martin was there 55 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: as well. All of a sudden, the Puerto Rican and 56 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: Latino vote has become a bigger thing as well of 57 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: the last year or so bad Bunny. You know, it's 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: been a huge amount of celebrities out there, and we 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: always one day if the celebrity vote actually means anything. 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: I think when you go Taylor Swift, Beyonce, a bad Bunny, 61 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez. You know you're hitting different demographics 62 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: and not just telling them to you know, who to 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: vote for, but encouraging people to vote. Don't forget voting 64 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: is not compulsory over here, and so they believe if 65 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: young people, if this gen z show up and vote, 66 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: then they're going to win this election. 67 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: If Kamala Harris wins this selection, will Donald Trump accept that? 68 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I wouldn't imagine so. But it is 69 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: much harder to throw your toys out of the cop 70 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: when you're not in the You're not in the last 71 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: time he had the authority of the Oval office. The 72 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: other thing, you know, last time he supporters storm the capitol. 73 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the capital now they had it out 74 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: about a thousand charges and that some of them spent 75 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: time and some of them are still in jail. I 76 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: think again before taking to the barricades if there is 77 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: consequences like that. So, look, I don't think you'll accept 78 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: the result. I don't think it's going to matter quite 79 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: as much. But you know, he can't come out and 80 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: claim victory and then Karla claims victory, and then you've 81 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: got two governments. Then you're in big trouble. Sod of us. 82 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Just on the whole storm in the capitol is can 83 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: you notice an increase in security and police presence over 84 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: there at the moment? 85 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can. I'm looking at it now. There 86 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: is a small fence in front of the Capitol, and 87 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: there's a one of their called it climb proof fence 88 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: a little bit closer, and then there's some construction work 89 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: going on. So there are provisions in place. The District 90 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: Attorney of Philadelphia, you know, the biggest city in Pennsylvania, 91 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: which is going to be the most important state, said yesterday, 92 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: if anyone feels like getting their militia on his words 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: around it and find out so they're not talking around 94 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: with you're run. 95 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, what's he got telling you, Charles, because it sounds 96 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 4: like India's a breaking to Harris. 97 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it feels like. I mean, Donald Trump 98 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: should be favorite. Right between the immigration mess over here 99 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: and inflation which has really hurt those people living paycheck 100 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: to paycheck, the Republican should be favorite. It's a bad 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: time to be an incumbent anywhere in the world. But 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: his refusal just at the last election and that Roe v. 103 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: Wade decision, that the in court decision, I think just 104 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: put this one back in favor of Carmla Harris's book. 105 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: It is awfully close. But if it becomes a battle 106 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: of the sexes young bloke's turning out for Trump versus 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: young women turning out for Karmela. I think I'll find 108 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: a young women a bit more reliable than young blokes. 109 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: As the third option, you know it is Paris the 110 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: Trump VI the couch. The couch might win that one. 111 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 4: Roight. 112 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: Hey, I'm Charles. This election, whichever way it goes, will 113 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 3: it affect us here in Australia at all? 114 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: Yeah? 115 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we follow America into every one of 116 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: their battles, every one on their wars. And beyond that, 117 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: you know, Donald Trump is talking huge tariffs and that 118 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: without getting real deep into economics, means that the cost 119 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: of things will change and will rise into the nation 120 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: that has to import things and has to export things 121 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: and deal with the world. We're a bit more sort 122 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: of influenced by that. The other point is the one 123 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: thing we know here, and this is regardless of whoever wins, 124 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: is that next January there's going to be a new president. 125 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: That things certain and anytime you change the president, you 126 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: change the world.
