Speaker 2: Well, the race to the White House is well and

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: truly underway. This morning, as Americans head to the polls

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 2: to vote in an historic presidential election, we watched to

Speaker 2: see who will win, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. Sunrise

Speaker 2: and she joins US Now.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: Natalie High high from a rooftop onto the NBC building

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: overlooking the US Capital.

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 4: You want to be careful being up on a rooftop, Thatt.

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: You're not holding an umbrella or anything gun shaped.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Jonesy.

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: That makes me feel a whole lot better. Another issuing

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: security alert and the FBI has just set up a

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: command post down the road monitoring domestic and international threats.

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: Making me feel really good.

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, Natalie, what a time in history to be in

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: the US. What is the vibe on the ground? There

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: are people anxious?

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: Is there?

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Malevolence?

22
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Is there?

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Well?

24
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: How people feeling?

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: First of all, in Washington, DC, Democrats have won here

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: for many, many years. The vote is usually ninety percent

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: or so Democrat. Last time Donald Trump got four percent.

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: So in Washington, DC, it's heavily Democrat.

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: In the states. In Juril. Mind you, there are a

30
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: lot of tourists, so we've talked to a lot of

31
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: tourists too, a lot more of their mat Trump. In

32
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: the last few days since we arrived it's Friday, blood,

33
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: people were quite relaxed and chatty. Today, Boy did things change.

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: We went out on the streets and everyone was so nervous.

35
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: So many people wouldn't even talk to it. So many

36
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: people didn't want to say who they thought would win.

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: It's definitely a mood change. Security has ramped up, more

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: shops of ben border up. There are fences all around

39
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: the White House precinct. Yet definitely changed. People are worried.

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Wow, that is quite terrifying, isn't it. When do you

41
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: think we're likely to have some kind of outcome?

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Well, that's the million dollar question. The polls start closing

43
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: about ten am Sydney, Melbourne time with Indiana and Kentucky

44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: and then they kind of go That flows across the country.

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: One of the main problems with the voting system here

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: is that every state opens, closes, registers and counts votes

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: completely different. They don't have something like an Australian Electoral

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: Commission which runs the whole show every county. Every state

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: runs it all completely differently, and so that's one of

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: the reasons why I think there's sort of so many

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: claims and counter claims. To answer your question, I don't

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 3: think anyone can. Last time, it was called by the

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: major networks when Trump lost, not till the Saturday, and

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: even now four years later, he says I didn't lose that,

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: So we don't know. It could be the poles are

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: still saying very close.

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: Kudos to you for yelling out that question to Joe Biden.

58
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: If you didn't hear nat, and that's there. This is

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: what your reporters live for. You're standing there. The helicopters

60
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: just landed. Joe Biden gets off the helicopter and that

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: by your this out.

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Are you sorry?

63
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: Card?

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: And he looked at you. He stopped for a minute

65
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: and then kept walking.

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: He kind of put his head down. I was just

67
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: that was just so I hate to say, it's so exciting.

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: I didn't really I'd never reported from the White House

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: on the last two election campaigns, but I've never actually

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: been in on the South lawn. You should have walked

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: through the West wing and out onto the South Lawn

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: and then the chopper's coming in their secret service all

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: over the place with you know, talking literally talking into

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: their wrists and into their chests. And then the chopper

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: comes in and then they say, okay, he will be

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: walking to the oval. He'll be walking to the oval.

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, which, which direction is good? And then the cameraman,

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: cam Waller, who's men, who was not that excited right

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: because it's very old using him, He's going, okay, you'll

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: probably have two chances of calling out a question, so

81
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: get your question ready. So I just thought that was no.

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: I was good.

83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: I would have ye it. Mister President. How do you

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: feel about guy Sebastian leaving the voice? I think he

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: would have stopped and chatted about.

86
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: Get a turn?

87
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,320
