With five days until the election, we have something very important to tell you. Not only is Am I Racist the number one documentary of the decade, it is now streaming on DailyWire+. If you're not a DailyWire Plus member, we have a treat for you. Use code DEI, save 35% off your new annual membership. Take a look at the trailer for Am I Racist now.

What do you feel in your body when you hear the term white people? I feel a little cringe about it. White, straight, cisgender, man, it's the top of the pile. I'm on the top of the pile. It's me. Can I just propose a toast? Raise a glass if you're racist. To racists.

That was really weird. Don't deny that you're racist. Try not to be racist, but also don't realize that you're... Until we're willing to talk about these things, healing can't really begin. My daughter's four years old. She's still watching Disney movies and choosing a white princess. Have you talked to her about that? All the time. Is racism inherent to whiteness? Yes. Yep. Yeah, probably. Well, yeah. Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert. Did race exist as a reality before? We made race exist. Does that make sense? It does make sense.

What do you mean? What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. This is more for you and less for you. Am I racist? Now streaming only on Daily Wire Plus. Rated PG-13.

With five days until the election, Colorado's Democrat Secretary of State is in hot water for posting voting system passwords to her office's website. Just five days after the ballots of a dozen Colorado voters were taken before they arrived at the voters' homes and cast without the voters' knowledge. We have got the latest shenanigans, polls, and last-minute endorsements in the home stretch. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

Thank you.

Welcome back to the show. President Trump is driving a garbage truck. Just what, one or two days after Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, President Trump throws on the sanitation worker vest, drives the garbage truck. It is magnificent. We will get to that stunt and what it means. There's so much more to say first, though.

There is a new ad out. We'll get to the garbage truck. We'll get to the shenanigans. We'll get to the dubious election practices. But I want to just get to what the Democrats are doing, the Kamala campaign and the affiliated groups. They are running an ad right now that to me sums up the whole liberal project. This is an ad narrated by actress Julia Roberts who

telling women how to vote with the specific angle that women should divide their households and disobey their husbands. Your turn, honey. In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know. Did you make the right choice? Sure did, honey. Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth. Vote Harris-Walls. Vote Common Good is responsible for the contents of this ad.

Vote Common Good. This is one of the groups supporting Harris. Narrated by Julia Roberts. Obviously, they got some money here. They got some connections. These people hate family so much that the core message of their political ad is, hey, women, don't you just hate your husbands, your stupid, oppressive husband with that dumb smirk on his face?

There at the end of the ad, that big, fat, dumb, awful, terrible, oppressive husband who asked if you voted the right way. Oh, you tell him you did vote the right way, but you lie to him. You insinuate that you voted for Trump and you voted for Kamala. You're not going to take his oppression anymore. That's right. We need division right through the fundamental political unit, the family. That's right. One place left in America where women can still choose.

This is the right to choose that is used as a euphemism for abortion. Abortion, which unfortunately is still legal basically everywhere in America. Women can kill their babies up until the moment of birth or even afterward in a lot of the country. But in the voting booth, you can choose, that's right, to finally stick it to your husband, your fat, stupid husband. Don't you hate him so much? If your political activism primarily seeks to undermine your husband,

you have deeper problems than the next election. If your view of politics and society primarily is an opposition to your husband, your beloved, your other half, your complement in the fundamental unit of society, you have bigger problems than Kamala's business regulations or whatever. This is really disordered.

I'm not saying you have to agree with your spouse on every single issue. I'm not saying you have to vote exactly the same way on every single issue. But if you view politics as finally an outlet to undermine my spouse and totally negate the views and desires of my spouse, there's something that's gone wrong in your marriage. Why do you disagree so fundamentally? Why are you seeking to undermine the other person?

in the other's pursuit of the common good in society. Someone's wrong with that. But this is par for the course for Democrats who have hated family for a very, very long time.

And Democrats have pursued policies effectively that have convinced people not to get married or to redefine marriage or to pit women in opposition to men to create a gender war. We used to say there will never be a war between the sexes because everyone's sleeping with the enemy. These days, I'm actually not so sure that's true. Then if people do get married, Democrats pursue policies to kill the fruit of that marriage, the babies that are conceived.

and so on and so forth. And now they say, use your vote to finally stick it to that jerk you're married to. That's their politics. That's what their politics is about. Division and chaos and antipathy between the sexes and even between people who are supposed to be so in love that their love actually bears fruit. And then antipathy toward that fruit of that supposed love, fruit which shall then be killed as the very thesis of that ad, because they're talking about abortion in particular.

deep problems. This is a sickness. Julia Roberts is a sick person. She is. I don't think I'm overstating it one little bit. That's sick. The Democrats are sick people, if that's their view. Now, speaking of women threatening the integrity of our political order, the Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, has just gone into a little bit of hot water for posting voter system passwords on her office's website.

This is from NBC 9 News, a local affiliate. Two days ago, in a statement to 9 News, a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State's office said that, quote, the department is working to remedy this situation where necessary, so they're admitting this is happening. The department took immediate action as soon as it was aware of this and informed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, which closely monitors and protects the country's essential security infrastructure. Okay, but...

The passwords to the voting system machines were up for who knows how long. But we're told electronic voting is totally secure. We're told there's no threat here whatsoever. That's bad enough. But then when you figure out that this scandal, which broke two days ago, follows a scandal five days earlier, so seven days ago,

NBC 9 News reports again, a criminal investigation is underway after the ballots of about a dozen voters in Mesa County were intercepted and cast without the voters' knowledge, Colorado Secretary of State Janet Griswold said. The ballots, which never made it to the voters' homes, were filled out, sealed in the ballot envelope, signed, and returned through a postal box. So they caught—we know for a fact—

Because of widespread mail-ins, which is the policy that the Democrats forced upon us using COVID as an excuse, we know for a fact that a dozen voters didn't get their ballots. Those ballots were intercepted, filled out on the voters' behalf, and submitted. Those ballots might well be counted in the election. Do you think it's just a dozen?

A dozen is what we know about. A dozen is what got caught. You think it's just a dozen in Colorado? You think this is just happening in Colorado? No way. Widespread mail-ins are insecure. This is why in years past, both Democrats and Republicans agreed they should not be permitted. This is why the Pennsylvania state constitution did not permit them. And the Democrats forced them upon us in 2020 in violation of that state constitution.

This is why electronic voting is vulnerable, because the passwords can be posted online. We don't know anything about it. We don't know if they were hacked into. We just don't know. We just don't know. So the situation is so egregious that the Colorado Secretary of State, the official in charge of the elections, went on a news show and was asked, even with our liberal news apparatus, if she's going to resign.

A final question. This is not the first time that your office has made mistakes that have damaged voters' confidence in our elections. In 2022, your office sent out mailers to 30,000 non-citizens, inviting them to register to vote. They, of course, are not eligible to register to vote.

That same year, your office used Colorado's ballot tracking system to send messages to specific Coloradans encouraging them to vote when in fact they had already voted, causing confusion that had to be cleaned up by the county clerks. And now this leak of the voting system passwords. Given your office's repeated errors that have damaged confidence in our elections, which you say is paramount, will you resign?

Absolutely not, Kyle. And I just want to, you're unfairly characterizing and leaving out some crucial information. Absolutely not. I will not resign because I don't feel the need to face any accountability for any of my incompetence. This woman is so obviously incompetent. She's so obviously unfit for her job, but she won't resign. And you know why she won't resign? Because the Democrats do not disapprove

of her apparent incompetence. The incompetence is the point. The inefficiency is the point. The insecurity, the vulnerability is the point. I mentioned on the show yesterday, by any objective measure, our elections are less secure today than they were five, six years ago before the Democrats changed the rules.

Our elections are less secure today because of the ubiquity of the mail-in ballots and the ballot drop boxes and election day turning into election season and the electronic voting machines that create at least vulnerabilities, if not outright fraud. In the system itself, I'm not saying it's any particular person. I'm not saying it's any particular organization. I'm just saying the system itself is more vulnerable. The elections are less secure today.

Why did Democrats change all those rules? The only conclusion I can come to is they like it that way. The Democrats don't really mind that those dozen ballots went missing. Who do you think the missing ballots benefited, Democrats or Republicans? If they benefited anyone,

I think most of us would agree it's probably Democrats. Democrats are better at ballot harvesting. Democrats are better at stuffing voting boxes. Republicans, when we want to gain an advantage in elections, we purge the voter rolls of ineligible voters. And the Democrats whine about that and say we're kicking eligible voters off the rolls, but we're not. We're kicking people who should not vote off the rolls.

When Democrats want to cheat in elections, Democrats stuff the ballot boxes. LBJ talked about this. FDR insinuated this. This has been going on for a really long time. So no, she's not going to be fired. She's doing her job. Her job is to make the elections less secure. There's so much more to say. First, though, go to goodranchers.com code Knowles. You know what I had for dinner last night?

I'll tell you what I had. I had a juicy and delicious bone-in ribeye steak from Good Ranchers. And sweet little Elisa cooked it perfectly. And my boys had already eaten dinner. I got home a little bit later. I pull up a little snack tray while they're playing in the family room. I start to eat my steak. And then my two-year-old walks up. He goes, Deja, one steak.

They don't give me steak. And then I had to feed him my steak. Well, I still got a little bit of my steak, which was good. I wish I had. I have to start cooking to bone in T-bones.

delivered. Speaking of women who've made poor choices, Stevie Nicks has just come out. Stevie Nicks, she's the singer from Fleetwood Mac. She just came out to reveal that she had an abortion. Some people knew she'd had an abortion early on, but she has exposed this to a wider audience and she's excused her abortion in an election where abortion's a big issue on the grounds that had she not had her abortion earlier,

she might not have been able to tour quite as much with Fleetwood Mac. I'm like, this can't be happening. Fleetwood Mac is three years in and it's big. And we're going into our third album. It was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It would have destroyed Fleetwood Mac.

If you had a baby. Absolutely. Because many reasons. I would have tried my best to get through, you know, being in the studio every single day, expecting a child. But mostly, having a child with Don Henley would not have gone over big in Fleetwood Mac with Lindsay and me, who we'd been broken up for two or three years.

It would have been a nightmare scenario for me to live through. Would have been a nightmare. She became pregnant with Don Henley's child, Don Henley from the Eagles. But, you know, she had dated her bandmate and they broke up a couple years prior. So that would have been awkward. And in any case, she wouldn't have been able...

to croak out those songs quite as well. And then who knows what would have happened after the kid was born. She actually tells us she did an interview with Rolling Stone last week. She said that she killed her child because she didn't want to have the kid raised by a nanny. She said, I wouldn't do that to my baby.

I'm not the kind of woman who would hand my baby over to a nanny, not in a million years. So we'd be dragging a baby around the world on tour. And I wouldn't do that to my baby. Wouldn't do that to my baby either. So my decision was to have an abortion.

If people want to be mad at me about that, I don't really care because my life was my life and my plan was my plan and had been since the fourth grade. So she had this plan and then her child got in the way. So when forced to choose between her plan, her vision for her future and her child, she chose to kill her child and pursue her plan without any changes to her plan whatsoever. Why? Because she said she had three options. She could either drag her baby around the world on tour or have her baby raised by a nanny

or murder her child. And she's forgetting the fourth option, which is she could have just raised her child and had a good life. And maybe she doesn't make as many records with Fleetwood Mac, but she has a kid and she doesn't murder her kid. Or she could have given the kid up for adoption. But she didn't even mention those latter two options. It was either drag the kid around the world on tour, which would not be good for a baby, or have the kid raised by a nanny, which is not ideal, or murder her child.

The first two options, much better for the child than murdering the child. But she chose to murder the child. Why? Because even though I think most women know that it is killing a baby, that that's what abortion is just by definition, because the baby is small and doesn't talk yet and you haven't interacted with the child much yet, I think women can gaslight themselves and just pretend that abortion is an erasure of an action that's already taken place, namely conception.

rather than an active killing of a person who has been conceived. Because the baby's little, they can just kind of try to gaslight themselves about that. I know a number of women who've had abortions. They've all suffered trauma from it. Some admit this, some it's just implicit, but it's pretty clear. So I don't know that they successfully gaslight themselves, but...

Nevertheless, she says, look, that was my plan. And otherwise, if I had I not killed the kid, it would have been hard to have Fleetwood Mac be as successful as it was. And this final point is the most tragic to me. This woman believes that Fleetwood Mac, that generic pop ditties,

are worth killing her own child. Or at least she's saying that. I don't know if she really believes that. I like Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac is fine. I'm not really knocking Fleetwood Mac. I've listened to Fleetwood Mac before. It's okay. They're good. They've had success. Fleetwood Mac is completely forgettable. Fleetwood Mac had a good run. And in 50 years, very few people are going to remember Fleetwood Mac or remember the words to any of their songs. And for that, she murdered her child.

That is a horrible tragedy and used all of the species argumentation. One argument, a pro-life argument that a friend of mine used to make in college when we would argue about this with pro-abortion people is he would say, okay, you think abortion is good because, you know, you don't want to bring a kid into the world unwanted or you don't want to bring a kid into the world in poverty or, you know, all these difficult circumstances. Okay. So,

So what would you say if instead of killing the child, instead of the abortion, you just went in there with a little needle and scrambled up the kid's brains a little bit? Not enough to kill the kid, just to give the kid mental retardation, but just scramble it up a little bit, but don't kill him. And all the pro-abortion people would clutch their pearls. They were aghast. Oh my God, how could you ever do that to a child? That's abusive. That's so cruel. Say, okay, I agree that would be cruel, but surely we would say an injury would

is, is less grievous than murder. If I punch somebody in the face, if even if I cause somebody to suffer a traumatic brain injury, that would be a less grievous action than to outright murder somebody. So why is it different in this case? Why, why are you so afraid that you're in this case, you're not even talking about giving someone a grave injury. You're talking about having a kid raised by a nanny or something.

Or, you know, having to go tour and do a little bit of work for a while rather than murder a kid. It just, none of it holds up whatsoever. And so you can see, this kind of reminds me, I had this debate with this guy, Ryan Grimm, this liberal on a show, Counterpoints, last week. And at a certain point, we were just talking about abortion. And at a certain point, he tried to have a few gotcha questions and

I smacked those down. So then we got to the issue of abortion. And finally, he said, look, I don't want to talk about this anymore. I don't want to think about this. I don't want to have an opinion about this. Stop. You can't make me think about this. Stop it. Let me put my head in the sand. I thought, right, that's what it comes down to. Stevie Nicks says, yeah, okay, I don't care. I don't care. La la la. That's my life. That's my plan. I don't want to think about it. Right. You don't want to think about it because the reality of it is inescapable.

How would you fare in the gladiator sport of trivia? I can tell Ben Davies wrote this copy. You can find out

as those are just a few of the pivotal topics in my series Face Off, the most intense and daunting trivia showdown on the internet. In the latest episode, Rob Schneider stepped into the arena to see who has more knowledge about movies and entertainment. Take a look. In the 40-year-old version, Steve Carell did something very painful for the first time on camera for the film. What was it? He waxed his chest. Take direction from Judd Apatow. No! Kelly Clarkson!

Watch this episode available now on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel. Speaking of morality and the youth, I have a really important topic I have to bring up. The Vatican has rolled out a cartoon mascot for the Jubilee year of 2025. Every so often there's a Jubilee year. This is a year of celebration. That's what it means. And it occurs regularly. And so next year is a Jubilee year.

And so for this Jubilee year, an Archbishop, Rino Fisichella, has trotted out a mascot for the year that is this little kind of anime character.

It's a smiling young woman or girl with blue hair and a rosary around her neck, which is, you're not supposed to wear a rosary around your neck, but for the purposes of the cartoon, I kind of get it. And it's actually a rosary. I think it's the World Mission Rosary or something like that. It was created by Fulton Sheen, who's a great bishop and great broadcaster. First televangelist, actually. And she's wearing a yellow raincoat and cute little green boots. And...

She's the mascot, and she has been extraordinarily polarizing. Some of the real hardcore trads, they say, this is infantilizing, this is ridiculous, why do we need a little cartoon mascot for this jubilee year from the church? No, we shouldn't have this. But others, even kind of more traditional people,

have said, no, we like this character. The character's name is Luce. Luce means light. And there's other people, some people are going off on this. They're saying Luce, it's like Lucifer or something, but Luce, it means light in Latin and in Italian. We have the name Lucy, Lucia in Italian, Lucy, Lucille in English. It's a fine name. St. Lucia, St.

Actually, the cartoon seems to be based on Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, who is a woman who was killed in 1990. She wasn't killed. She died of a disease in 1990. And she's now been beatified. She's on track to sainthood. Yeah.

One of the other arguments against this cartoon is that the artist has issues. Apparently, the artist who created this cartoon has all sorts of kind of weird designs that are aberrant and deviant and sure. However, I would say in response to that, Caravaggio, one of the greatest painters of all time, he had some issues too. I think he murdered a guy, you know, and did all sorts of weird stuff. And so the artists have issues often. It doesn't necessarily diminish the art.

Some people say, well, the bishops who pushed this, you know, the bishops are, they're kind of libs and they're trying to modernize. Sure, as Hilaire Belloc said, he takes it that the Catholic Church is a divinely instituted organization as a matter of faith. But for those who doubt the divine institution...

No other institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight, much less 2,000 years. So forget about the, yeah, sure, prelates and all. People have all sorts of bad opinions and bad motivations sometimes. However, I will say this. As someone who attends the traditional Latin Mass, I own many bow ties. I read many dusty old books. I smoke cigars. I am married and I have three kids under the age of four. I am married.

what most people would call a trad. I'm very pro-Luce. And the reason I'm pro-Luce is, one, I think it's a perfectly innocent little cartoon for a jubilee year intended to appeal to young people, and perhaps especially to people in the East. It's the memes. The memes are what did it for me. There are so many funny memes that have popped up. There are memes of Luce...

standing in front of a bunch of crusaders, you know, with the crusader cross on them. Deus Volt, knights in shining armor. There's so many others. There's one meme of Luce. Yeah, there's one. It says he was a boy and it's like a little Pepe frog in a crusader outfit. She was a girl and it's Luce just, you know, praying. There's a meme of Luce

of, you know, the staff that she's holding, the pilgrim staff. Some people calling it a witch staff. It's, I think it's a pilgrim staff, like the, you know, Santiago de Compostela cracking through a fence and the devil is terrified. And it's just this cute little girl just smiling like, coming for you, Satan. I'm going to pray to St. Michael that by the power of God, you're thrust back into hell where you belong. The memes are really, really funny.

They're funny in part because of the incongruity of this innocent little girl smiling with her rosary and her pilgrim stick. And then the devil or sinner is being burned at the stake, or somewhere a little edgy even to put on the show. So it's a wholesome show. But this to me is the proof that Luce is good, that this is whether intentional or unintentional, a good example of the church interacting with pop culture. And it's evidence to me that the popular culture is desiring the church.

that the popular culture longs for the eternal, longs for truth and beauty and goodness, longs for holiness. Even so much to say that they'll take a perfectly nice-looking little cartoon and then put this cartoon into serious, very traditional situations, battling demons, battling Saracens, battling heretics. This is good. Nihil Obstadt, this is my official declaration.

You judge a tree by its fruit. You judge a popular cartoon by the memes that it generates. The memes here are good. A bad cartoon does not generate excellent memes. Luce has the seal of approval. Love it. Absolutely love it. Now, speaking of memes, President Trump has produced some memes over the past 24 hours. President Trump

Shortly after being called garbage, having his supporters called garbage by Joe Biden, the sitting president, President Trump has rented a garbage truck in Wisconsin. He's driving around in a sanitation worker's orange vest, driving around Wisconsin, picking up all the garbage because the Democrats view ordinary American people as garbage and Trump is happy to have their support and their votes.

How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. This is so beautiful and it's not just the truck. You can see through the window a little bit Trump is wearing the vest. He wore that vest to the rally later that day. And they said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage. And I said, no way. I got 25,000 people standing outside. I got all these people here. There's no way I'm wearing it on stage.

They said, oh, okay, sir. I said, get me my jacket. But if you did, you know, it actually makes you look thinner. I said, and they got me. I said, I want to wear it on stage. When they said I look thinner, I said, in that case, I'll wear it on stage. I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go...

I may go in this. I said that. That was my, that was the word. That was the key. Sir, you look thinner. This clip reminded me of an insight that I had at MSG. I went to MSG on Sunday, you know, to support President Trump. Final stretch, biggest rally. It's just absolutely incredible display. I had never been to a Trump rally. Longtime admirer of President Trump. A Trump voter since 2016. Big supporter of the president.

There have been a couple times where maybe I was going to interview him, hasn't panned out. So I have never really gotten to see him do his thing in person. And when I was sitting there, I was pretty close up to the president at MSG. The first thought I had when he walked on stage, and this thought had never come to me before, was, oh, this guy's like Elvis. I'm a big Elvis fan too. Trump, when you see Trump on TV, usually you see, you know, I don't know, he's kind of goofy or he's a little...

When you see him in person, in the full context of the arena that he's in, you realize this guy is on a completely other level. Look, Elon Musk spoke. Elon Musk is great. He's one of the most impressive people of our lifetimes. But Elon Musk is kind of goofy on stage. He doesn't always have total command of the audience. Trump, Trump is Elvis.

Trump walks on that stage. He is in complete command of the audience. This man, I've been around a lot of politicians and a lot of people in show business. This man is in complete control. He is, and you saw it on display perfectly here. He just walks up.

And he's doing a comedy routine. And he's doing a comedy routine that he knows is going to land perfectly. Because it's simple. He's not telling really esoteric, complex jokes. It's a very simple joke. The joke is he didn't want to wear this vest because he thought it looked kind of silly. But then someone told him it made him look thinner, which is a kind of humble thing to admit. Because he's admitting, oh, sometimes I'm a little bit overweight. It's a humble thing. And then he goes, oh, thinner. Oh, I'm going to wear this everywhere now. That's it. It's a very, very simple joke. But his delivery is perfect. Perfect.

Just forget about you hate him politically. Maybe you don't think about him. I'm just saying from the perspective of show business, he has the audience wrapped around his finger. Even John Carl on ABC had to admit this, said he packed at Madison Square Garden with all these people outside. We haven't seen this in American politics in a long time. He's built a real movement around him.

And he's so quick on his feet. He's got the showman's reaction. He can just, in real time, the greatest example of this probably was in 16, when Megyn Kelly asked him about how he called women fat and pigs. And it was a brutal question. And Trump doesn't miss a beat. He goes, only Rosie O'Donnell. That is a showman's ability to react. That is a gift. And a lot, most people don't have that. The vast majority of people don't have that gift.

Trump's renting out the garbage truck, knowing how to sit in the garbage truck, putting on the vest, knowing how to play off putting on the vest so that it didn't seem just like a total cheap gimmick. Coming up with this whole bit, I didn't want to wear the vest. I said, I'm not wearing it. But then they said, sir, okay, you don't have to wear it. It just, it makes you look thinner. Hold on, wait, what? Excuse me? Maybe, and they got me to put on the vest. Even that, it makes it seem so much more authentic, so much more relatable.

And it's quick on your feet. He capitalized on Biden calling Trump supporters garbage instantly, instantly in the perfect way. And so what's the political lesson for us? We need to be quick on our feet too.

Regular old conservatives, we need to be quick on our feet, but we're not quick on our feet. We're always fighting the last war. We're always arguing about last time and two times ago and how we should play it and how if only we were running, you know, the Bush 04 campaign, then we'd be so far ahead. Or we just need to run like Romney, but a little bit better or something. No. Democrats changed the rules in 2020. They just changed many of the voting rules throughout the country.

And if we want to win, they succeeded at changing the rules. If we want to win, we have to win according to those rules. There's no alternative. I hope we can change the rules back. I hope we can make the rules more advantageous for us. But to do that, we need to attain power. To attain power, we need to win according to the current system. Trump's doing that. This is why I've said from early on, you people are blackmailing some of you. You don't want to vote early. You want to vote on election day. You should vote early.

Democrats vote early and often. You should vote early so that you make sure your vote is counted. You need to vote early and then check that your vote was counted. I don't like voting early. I don't like mail-in ballots, but that's the system we have. If we want to win, we got to play by that system. That's what I've been saying for weeks, months maybe. And now look what's happening in Colorado. Now the ballots are going missing. Now people try to vote. They find out actually a vote's already been cast in your name. If you vote early, if you play along with the new system, you can catch that. You can rectify that.

Got to do it, though. You got officials in Pennsylvania shutting down the voter lines early, hours before the cutoff time. Means you got to vote early if you want to be able to overcome that.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Bridget Menke, 17X, who says, we requested three mail-in ballots for our three daughters, never got them. Hmm, there you go. There you go. That's exactly what I'm talking about. So if you can vote a little early in a lot of places, you can still vote today. In my state of Tennessee, you can still vote today. I would do that.

And then if there's any problem, okay, well, now you got five days to rectify it. Now, you know, you're going to show up on election day. You're not going to wait for the mail-ins. Maybe the mail-in's not going to come. Maybe those mail-ins were intercepted and cast on your behalf or on behalf of your daughters. Maybe you got to rectify that. It's going to be a lot of tricks. Democrats are going to try to rig this thing up and down. They already have by changing the rules. But you got to win. You know, this is what I liked about Jerry Seinfeld's point when he said he regretted blaming the left for ruining comedy.

He wasn't saying that the left didn't ruin comedy. I don't think that was really the point he was making. The point he was making is if you're skiing, you got to make the gate. You got to play according to the rules of the game. Otherwise, you're out of the game. You want to change the rules of the game, you got to win the game. Then you can change the rules of the game. Now, some Republicans do not want us to vote for President Trump. I'm thinking of Arnold, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

who was married to a Kennedy, so a little bit sus to begin with. Although now, actually, at least one Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, is kind of a Republican. But the Kennedy that Arnold was married to is not a Republican, is actually campaigning with Kamala. And Liz Cheney, who used to be a Republican but is a Democrat, now Arnold seems is half a Democrat too, because he wrote this whole long post that I'm not going to read. He's twisting himself into logical knots.

trying to justify voting for a woman who's obviously incompetent, not nearly educated or intelligent enough to be president, and who supports the most hideous, immoral policies you can possibly imagine. How does he twist himself into pretzels? Says, ah, the January 6th, I want to move forward. I can't do it, good Arnold. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harrison Walls.

So he's admitting, he says, yeah, their platform is horrible. Their vision for the country is terrible. He doesn't show any evidence that they can actually accomplish anything good for the country. There's no achievements that he's really pointing to. He just hates Trump. He and Trump have gotten into personal squabbles for years now. Arnold took over The Apprentice, which was the show that Trump made a big hit for, what was it, 12, 13 years, and Arnold's version of it flopped.

So he's got this personal beef with Trump. And so he says, okay, I'm going to endorse the candidates who are running on a ticket to what? Kill babies up until the moment of birth or afterward. Open up the border and trans the kids. You know, the line, Arnold's famous line, get to the chopper, seemed a lot more innocent before he endorsed the ticket that wants to trans all the kids. Now, this guy, who's not only a movie star, he's a former Republican governor,

Suppose a Republican endorses the ticket that wants to trans the kids endorses. Tim Walls tried to make Minnesota the windowless white van of the Midwest. And we said, hey, come here, trans kids. Come on over here to Minnesota. Yeah, we got tampons in the boys room for you. Just swing by the governor's mansion. Maybe Kamala Harris, this woman who can't utter an English sentence properly, says,

She has to interrupt her lapses in cognition with wild witchy cackling. The most radically left-wing ticket in American history by a country mile. Arnold endorses that. Pathetic. And why? Why? I suspect a lot of it is. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, with Liz Cheney, with Dick Cheney even.

with these Republicans, supposed Republicans who are endorsing Kamala, I think it's personal. You know, Trump and Arnold have had personal beef for a long time. Arnold can't make a public argument as to why he opposes Trump, really, other than January 6th or whatever. It's ridiculous.

He can't make a policy argument. He can't make a political argument. It seems personal. Liz Cheney. Trump chased Liz Cheney out of Congress. And it's personal, and she's on a personal vendetta. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Dick Cheney. I actually kind of get why Dick Cheney opposes Trump, because he's just backing up his daughter. But okay, it's just personal for them. Why has George Bush opposed Trump? I think largely because Trump was so mean to his brother, you know, in no small part. And because Trump was tough on the Bush administration's record.

I think that's broadly, maybe there's some political considerations. I think it's largely personal. It's kind of funny. You know, these people all talk about how principled they are, how they're, you know, they're the principled real conservatives. And yet none of their political activism in recent years seems to be about the common good. It all seems to be about petty personal grievances. Now we turn to more admirable celebrities. The more admirable celebrities are endorsing Trump up to and including Buzz Aldrin.

Buzz Aldrin also wrote a very long post, much better than Arnold's post. I won't read the whole thing. But he said, for me, for the future of our country, to meet enormous challenges and for the unproven policy accomplishments, I'm sorry, for the proven policy accomplishments above. So he actually does name public political things that Trump did that won over his support. I believe we are best served by voting for Donald Trump. I wholeheartedly endorse him for president of the United States. Godspeed, President Trump, and God bless the United States of America.

What I really liked was in response to Buzz Aldrin's post, you know, this is the second person to step foot on the moon. There are a number of people who don't think we ever went to the moon, but I saw one of them. I forget who was at the top of the Twitter comments. He goes, okay. Oh no, you know who it was? It was the horn hat guy, Jacob Chansley from January 6th. He was at the top of the comments, top of the replies on Twitter. And he said, okay,

I'll say we went to the moon now. Okay, thank you, Buzz Aldrin. I'm now willing to say we went to the moon. And so why did Aldrin endorse Trump?

He says, well, I like Trump's space policy more than I like Kamala's space policy. And I like this and I like that. But he also mentions Elon Musk. He says, I really like what Elon Musk has done to pick up slack where the government has failed. And this reminds us that endorsements can matter. Endorsements really can matter. I think of Zachary Levi, the actor who plays Shazam and who played Chuck on NBC, who

Zachary Levi is not, he's not a rock ribbed right wing conservative Republican. Exactly. He obviously seems a little bit heterodox in far left Hollywood. But when Zachary Levi came out to endorse Trump, he said, look, I'm a, I'm a Kennedy guy. I supported Bobby Kennedy for president, but Bobby Kennedy endorsed Trump. So because I support Kennedy, I'm going to support Trump with Buzz Aldrin. He says, I really admire Elon Musk.

Elon Musk endorses Trump. That brings people along. The endorsements matter. Politics is a social endeavor. It really helps. And so for you now, we're looking down the barrel. I mean, we are in the final stretch of the election, what, five days until the election? Until the end of the election. The election really started over a month ago. Who can you sway? That's the question for you. You might not be able to sway a million voters. Can you sway your family?

Can you sway your roommates? You're probably not going to sway your purple haired lesbian cousin with 150 face tattoos, though. Maybe you will actually there, you know, there is a realignment going on and people can repent and change their minds about a lot of things. And chaos breeds opportunity. That's true in politics as anything else. So actually, maybe you can convince your purple haired lesbian niece with 17 face tattoos. But at the very least, they're going to be people who are on the fence in your family. Can you persuade them?

Can you persuade some of your neighbors? Can you persuade some of your coworkers? Can you persuade some people on Facebook? Maybe. How many people follow you on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram? Can you persuade even one or two of them? That's kind of what this is about. This election is going to be one on the margins. Forget about all the rigging. Forget about all the cheating for a moment. I'm sure that's all there. But we're a rather divided country. We don't even share our first principles, many of us, anymore. So it's the margins that are going to decide the elections.

Now, speaking of endorsements and non-endorsements, there's an amazing story that just came out. The Washington Post is not going to endorse Kamala Harris. Shocking. Liberal establishment paper par excellence. And it's because Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest people in the world, the creator of Amazon, Jeff Bezos says he won't endorse, the Washington Post won't endorse because people no longer trust the media, because people are following the endorsements of others. We'll get to what that means. I guess we'll have to do it tomorrow because right now,
