00:00We now go back live to hear what Carlos Montero has to say, our special envoy in Washington on everything that is happening during the presidential elections.
00:13Good afternoon from, good morning, it's not good afternoon yet, we are close to noon.
00:19So far, so good, the election is going smooth.
00:22Open the polls at 7 o'clock, they are going to close at 7 p.m. in most of the states of the east coast.
00:30But I have an information, last minute information that's going to, maybe it's going to be important.
00:35You know Pennsylvania, Kamala Harris was last night there, Donald Trump was there yesterday.
00:42I'm going to talk about that in a while, but I want to tell you this information, the last minute information.
00:48They said that in a small county of Pennsylvania there was some problem with the software.
00:54Because it was that problem with the software, they couldn't scan.
00:58The people vote, they are going to extend the hours to vote until 10 p.m., from 7 to 10 p.m.
01:08That's going to be scary because this is a state that's going to be very important, it's one of the seven swing states.
01:16They can go either Republican or Democrat.
01:19And Donald Trump was saying that he's scared that maybe it's going to be fraud.
01:23And listen to that, I mean, this problem with the software, that's something that commonly happens in any system.
01:29But it's going to be extended until 10 p.m., let's see how Donald Trump reacts.
01:35Who has very, very late, even in closing of his campaign, 2 o'clock he left Michigan.
01:445 o'clock he was in Florida already where he's going to explain the result.
01:48He was yesterday closing his campaign saying that America is in danger, that foreigners are taking over this country.
01:56And they have to make them go back to their country and make America great and America for the Americans.
02:03He said also that Mexico has to help USA to stop this flow of immigrants coming here.
02:09And he said if they don't do it, he's going to impose some taxes on Mexican products, 20 percent.
02:16And the problem is still 40 and it's going to go as far as it needs to be to stop the immigrants coming here.
02:23Let's talk about Kamala Harris.
02:25Kamala Harris, she was in a different mood.
02:28She was closing his campaign in Philadelphia with a lot of show business, power star.
02:36It was Bon Jovi, it was Lady Gaga, it was their Oprah Winfrey and other famous people here.
02:43And she said we need to change the way we look at each other in America.
02:47There cannot be so much hate.
02:49If I win, I want to be the president of all the Americans, not only one American.
02:55I'm going to be the president of the Republicans, of the Democrats.
02:58Everybody's going to be free to say what they think in this country.
03:03And today she's going to wait for results here in the Capitol.
03:06Let's see what happens.
03:08Are we going to know about the results?
03:10It's going to be very difficult, probably.
03:12But especially Pennsylvania is going to close later the polls.
03:17So maybe it's going to take a while for us to know who's going to be the next president.
03:21I was in Ohio, Shady Bounds, the candidate of the president for the Republican Party.
03:28He voted this morning and he said something, I mean, I agree with him.
03:32He said whoever is going to win this election, half of the country is going to be upset.
03:38The reason this country is very divided, very extremely divided.
03:42I never see an election so divided.
03:44So, I mean, what the candidate for the vice president of the Republican Party was saying is right.
03:49Half of the country is going to be upset.
03:52We are going to be here following the story, following these transcendental historic elections in the USA.
04:00We are going to have a special program this evening at 7 p.m. Eastern Time in Spanish.
04:05And we are also be talking with you guys in English about what's going on.
04:10And as far as we need, we are going to be here informing you guys.
04:14Thank you very much. I go back to you, to the studio.
04:19Thank you, Carlos, for the latest information.
