1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Ay, good afternoon. Only one day to go in the

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: US election campaign, and both Karmala Harris and Donald Trump

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: are holding their final rallies right now at Kamala Harris's

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: rally for US as The Herald's deputy political editor, Thomas

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Coglan Thomas, Hello, hello head, Oh mate, it's awfully quiet.

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Is she not turned up yet?

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Tell you what, it's a funny old event, this one.

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: So the Democrats are holding these massive rallies in various

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: swing states. It's a bit like Live Aid, that big

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: thing they did in the eighties for the raising money

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: for Africa. So Kamala Harris started off at the Philadelphia

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that the Pittsburgh one. She was there maybe

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: two hours ago. And she is somewhere between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: which is where I am, which is where her last

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: address we made. But yeah, you're right, she has not

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: shown up yet. The crowd is getting a bit restless.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga is meant to come on and entertain us,

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: but she has showed up yet either. So yeah, it's

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: a wedding game, perhaps a harbinger of things to come.

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Lord, you mean the election result, I'd imagine Apparently the

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Democrats have been nauseously optimistic for a few days now,

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 1: Is that what you're hearing?

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean they're doing their best to put

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: on a brave face. Kamala Harris is saying we're going

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: to win this everywhere that she can say that. But

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: but look of those those poles are tied. I mean,

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: the poles are not moving very much. But where they

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: are moving, they seem to be narrowing for Trump. So

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: his chance is certainly looking pretty good. But but but

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: to be fair, so hers. It's really a coin toss.

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: So I mean, to be honestly that no one knows

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: it's It could go anyway, and and the Poles could

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: be wrong. That they could be all wrong in the

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: wrong in the same direction. They could be wrong in

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: different directions in different states. It really is anyone's game, okay.

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: And how the how the Republicans feeling? Are they confident

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: or panicking?

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: No?

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: I think that confident as well.

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: And now you know that they're they're gearing up to

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: fight this in court of lyp and obviously you know

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: in Florida in two thousand they successfully have managed to

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: get a you know, the White House after after the

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: I think by five hundred votes in Florida when the

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: when they're hanging chips were litigated. So so you know

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: that the Republicans are gearing up for that fight and

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: if the ps are the Democrats as well.

48
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: I think there's something like three thousand different counties in

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: the United States, and each one of them counts the

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: votes in their own way, and so you can actually

51
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: you can actually expect to see many of those counties

52
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: are having having, you know, questions raised about the way

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: that that the voter is conductive. So so you know,

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: I think the Republicans are looking at that as well

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: as simply winning.

56
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Now, now, Thomas, you mentioned before that this could be

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: a sign of things to come, the waiting game, right,

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: and I see Pennsylvania's Secretary General has already warned that

59
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: the state will not have a result tomorrow night. However,

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: this isn't on the assumption that everything is tight. If

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: it actually all of a sudden goes one way or

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: the other, will we have a result tomorrow, Like if

63
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a clear win for Trump or a clear win

64
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: for Karmela, will we know tomorrow.

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: Yes, that is that that is a potential outcome, and

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: there is actually like there's not a bad probability of that.

67
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Often when polls are wrong, they are often wrong in

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: the same direction. There are seven swing states, and if

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: all the poles are in the swing states, which are

70
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: currently basically tied, you know, if they're all wrong and

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: Trump is clearly winning and most of them, or if

72
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: they're all wrong and Harris is leaveing winning in most

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: of them, then we might actually not need Pennsylvania. And

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: so in that case you probably would have a result,

75
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: a pretty clear result tomorrow. But you know, at the moment,

76
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: it looks like all the races and all the swing

77
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: states will be so close that that tomorrow night will

78
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: be farly inconclusive.

79
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Thomas, isn't best of luck waiting for her?

80
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,960
