To close out their campaign, the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz decided that late night comedy shows would be the best forum for their final pleas to voters ahead of Election Day. As Harris traveled to NBC and Saturday Night Live, Walz was joined in Pennsylvania by CBS’s Stephen Colbert for Monday’s edition of The Late Show for one last “pep talk” and softball interview. For it’s part, SNL brought back the Jimmy Fallon-Donald Trump mirror skit with Harris impersonator Maya Rudolph beginning, “Wow. Well, this is it. The last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh, I just, I wish I could talk to someone who's been in my shoes, you know, a black, South Asian woman running for president. Preferably from the Bay Area.”     After an extended applause for her appearance, the real Harris agreed, “You and me both, sister.” Real Harris then pretended to give Fake Harris a pep talk that was really just a jab at Trump, “It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I'm just here to remind you, you got this. Because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.” Rudolph explained, “I see what you did there. Like to a garbage truck, right?” Following several Kamala puns, the duo did a bit that Rudolph began with “We know each other so well, we even finish each other's” as both added, “Belief in the promise of America.” Harris then joined Rudolph on the other side of the fake mirror with the latter explaining to the audience, “Exactly. Now come on. Let's bring it in. I got to tell myself something over here. Come here. I want to tell you something. I'm going to vote for us.” A couple of nights later, Colbert was lobbing softballs to Walz, “Throughout the campaign, we’ve gotten to know you and your family, you and your wife, Gwen, have been married for 30 years… When you met, who made the first move?” After Walz recalled he did, Colbert asked, “As a Minnesotan, would you call your wife a hot dish?”     Later, Colbert got more serious. Clearly worried about the state of the polls, Colbert asked, “Why do you think this is still so close? Does that mystify you?” Walz claimed it doesn’t, but “it disappoints me, I think, because I think the choice is so stark, but it's not surprising. The country is really divided. There's been a group of people out there who figured that out and they've done a wonderful job of making people think it doesn't matter. Everybody’s the same and in this case, you've got the Constitution versus not the Constitution. You got reproductive rights versus ‘I don't care if you like it or not, I'll tell you what to do’ from Donald Trump.’” Following Walz’s lamentations, Colbert moved back to the unserious questions, “What's your guilty pleasure when you're looking, something to relax you, because I love—I like watching metal lathing, like you know, computer-designed metal lathing or—”     Walz would interrupt to take the duo down a carpet cleaning rabbit hole. Finally, after a game of table football, Colbert would open up the floor one last time, “Coach, this is the night before the election… So, let's bring it in, coach, for one final pep talk to the voters out there maybe haven't made up their mind and if you can give that pep talk using as many of these sports clichés as possible, that would be great.” No Democratic pitch would be complete without some doommongering about the end of democracy, so after the forced sports clichés Colbert demanded, Walz added, “Look, democracy is at stake here. We have an opportunity to bring this country together… We've got the best candidate, we got the best quarterback out there in Kamala Harris. We know their game plan of Project 2025 isn't going to be good for any of us, and so creating an opportunity economy, we’re going to put the ball over the goal line.” To continue with the football theme, in this campaign, the late night comedy shows have been the cheerleaders, and it is easy to see why Harris and Walz would choose to conclude their campaign on their shows. Here are transcripts for the November 2 and 4 shows: NBC Saturday Night Live 11/2/2024 11:29 PM ET MAYA RUDOLPH [AS KAMALA HARRIS]: Wow. Well, this is it. The last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh, I just, I wish I could talk to someone who's been in my shoes, you know, a black, South Asian woman running for president. Preferably from the Bay Area. KAMALA HARRIS: You and me both, sister. RUDOLPH: It’s nice to see you, Kamala. HARRIS: It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I'm just here to remind you, you got this. Because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors. RUDOLPH: I see what you did there. Like to a garbage truck, right? HARRIS: I don't really laugh like that, do I? RUDOLPH: A little bit. Now, Kamala, take my palmala. The American people want to stop the chaos. HARRIS: And end the dramala. RUDOLPH: With a cool new step mommala. Kick back in our pajamalas and watch a rom-Kamala. HARRIS: Like Legally Blondela RUDOLPH: And start decorating for Christmas, fa la la la la. Because what do we always say? BOTH: Keep Kamala and carry on-a-la.  RUDOLPH: We know each other so well, we even finish each other's— BOTH: Belief in the promise of America. RUDOLPH: Exactly. Now come on. Let's bring it in. I got to tell myself something over here. Come here. I want to tell you something. I'm going to vote for us. HARRIS: Great. Any chance you are registered in Pennsylvania? RUDOLPH: Nope, I am not. HARRIS: Well, it was worth a shot. BOTH: And live from New York, it's Saturday night! *** CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 11/4/2024 11:55 PM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: Throughout the campaign we’ve gotten to know you and your family, you and your wife, Gwen, have been married for 30 years. TIM WALZ: Yes, 30 years. COLBERT: Here’s, I think we have a lovely photo. WALZ: Oh, look at that. COLBERT: When you met, who made the first move? WALZ: I think I did. Yeah, I did. My wife and I had a classroom that was divided with a temporary divider that you can hear both sides of because we didn't have enough room in our school. It was an old band room. She was teaching English on one side, I was teaching geography on the other and she can hear a lot and she said "I'm sure that's a very interesting topic, Mr. Walz, but we’re trying to conjugate verbs over here." COLBERT: That's how you met? WALZ: That's how we met. COLBERT: As a Minnesotan, would you call your wife a hot dish? WALZ: No, I would not call her a hot dish. COLBERT: It's a compliment. WALZ: Yes. I've never heard it used in that context though because hot dish are pretty sacred. … COLBERT: This is a shot of you when it started. This is what you look like at the beginning of the campaign. You okay? You feeling alright? You feeling alright? WALZ: I'm doing great. I’m doing great. COLBERT: Okay, why do you think this is still so close? Does that mystify you? WALZ: No, it disappoints me, I think, because I think the choice is so stark, but it's not surprising. The country is really divided. There's been a group of people out there who figured that out and they've done a wonderful job of making people think it doesn't matter. Everybody’s the same and in this case, you've got the Constitution versus not the Constitution. You got reproductive rights versus "I don't care if you like it or not, I'll tell you what to do" from Donald Trump. In closing with insulting people, I know we’re sitting in Pennsylvania, there's 500,000 Puerto Ricans here and Puerto Ricans, as all Americans, are very proud of where they come from. COLBERT: Exactly, have you ever been to a Puerto Rican Day Parade, they’re very into Puerto Rico— WALZ: They’re very into it. COLBERT: —as well they should. The internet has doubled you America's dad. People call me that too. What's your guilty pleasure when you're looking, something to relax you, because I love —I like watching metal lathing, like you know, computer-designed metal lathing or— WALZ: You ever seen them clean a rug? COLBERT: Oh yeah, I suspect those rugs aren’t as dirty, naturally. Like, they dirty them up a little more. WALZ: Yeah, because it’s filthy and you’re wondering how people can live like that. COLBERT: Where do they keep this rug, exactly, in a junkyard? How about restoration videos where they take, like an old tool or something like that? WALZ: Yeah. … COLBERT: I want to understand the policies of a future Harris-Walz administration. Please expand what an opportunity economy is, but using only car repair metaphors. WALZ: Okay. So, your car is running a little rough. It's still running but there's things you could do. Now, if it's an older vehicle, you could get a carburetor clean. You could invest the money into a really important piece, say the carburetor being the middle class, you put a little investment into that carburetor, the entire vehicle runs better. COLBERT: That brings oxygen into the entire system? WALZ: Yeah, so you invest in the middle class. Now, everybody's thinking, what's the carburetor? What about the tires, the engine? All those pieces are really important too, but without the carburetor and I’ll make the case that the middle-class makes everything else work. … COLBERT: Let's go for the extra point. Here we go. You might want to close your eyes. Oh! WALZ: It's good. COLBERT: All right, all right. WALZ: I didn’t know, you are the— COLBERT: Coach, this is the night before the election, okay, by the time we get to this part of the interview, it's already midnight. People are already voting someplace in the United States.  WALZ: We're already getting votes. COLBERT: So, let's bring it in, coach, for one final pep talk to the voters out there maybe haven't made up their mind and if you can give that pep talk using as many of these sports clichés as possible, that would be great. WALZ: All right, time to dig down deep. We know that we're in the final two minutes of this game. We are going to give 110 percent. We know we have to leave it on the field because look, democracy is at stake here. We have an opportunity to bring this country together. There's no I in country. That was good. COLBERT: That's true. There is no I in country. WALZ: So, look, we're going to win this thing. We've got the best candidate, we got the best quarterback out there in Kamala Harris. We know their game plan of Project 2025 isn't going to be good for any of us, and so creating an opportunity economy, we’re going to put the ball over the goal line. We're going to win this in the final minute and then we are going to celebrate come Wednesday morning with our quarterback, President Harris. 

The only reason “60 Minutes” had to “significantly edit” Kamala Harris’ answers in her interview with Bill Whitaker is because “she’s so dumb” and “she’s so incapable of having a clear thought that’s not memorized,” says Mark Levin. So “they covered for her,” he sighs. “Have you ever heard of a news organization doing such a thing?” “We’re dealing with a fifth-grader,” he says of Harris. “What is this? A student government election in some elementary school?” “Everybody is bending over backwards in the media, in Hollywood, in academia, in her party to try and find ways to smooth over the absolute imbecility that is this woman, just like they did with Biden,” Levin lambastes. Just a few months ago, Kamala Harris was “the worst vice president in American history, which is why “they've been trying as best they can to recreate her.” “The same people who lied about Biden, who covered up his dementia … then changed our electoral system to give us Kamala Harris. They're the same people now who are active in and out of government, in and out of the Democrat Party, in and out of the campaign, who've created this caricature, this fiction, this woman as something she is not,” says Levin. “She is not qualified to serve as president of the United States at any level and in any way — not by experience, not by intelligence, not by wisdom.” “She likes to talk about bipartisanship” and claim that “she'll bring the two parties together,” but the fact of the matter is “she was the most polarizing figure in the United State Senate, and I include Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Schumer,” Levin explains, adding that Harris “never participated in any bipartisan legislation.” In fact, “she broke more tie votes … than any vice president in American history for the most radical kinds of legislation,” he explains, pointing to her support of Bidenomics, the Inflation Reduction Act, national health care, and ceasing fracking. On top of that, the Biden-Harris regime opened the border, “bringing into the country Venezuelan gang members, killers, [and] rapists.” “They can't even do what they're supposed to do,” says Levin. “They can't run a balanced budget; they're destroying the currency; interest on the debt is bigger than the defense budget; the defense budget is being slashed in the face of potential war with communist China.” “Can you imagine the government [under Kamala Harris] running health care? Can you imagine the government determining prices and wages?” he asks. “She doesn’t believe in the Constitution. She doesn’t believe in three branches of government [or] separation of powers.” She doesn’t believe in “delineated, limited powers for the federal government.” “She never talks about liberty; she never talks about the Constitution unless she's accusing Trump of trying to destroy it,” says Levin.

Joe Rogan, the massively popular podcaster who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, long expressed reluctance about having President Donald Trump on his show. Rogan finally gave in late last month and sat down for three hours with the Republican president for an interview that went viral despite YouTube's apparent censorship efforts. Although the titular host of "The Joe Rogan Experience" appeared receptive to Trump's various policy proposals and his commentary about the issues facing the nation, Rogan refrained from endorsing the president — until Monday night after Elon Musk detailed his own reasons for backing Trump. Rogan noted after the nearly three-hour interview Monday that Musk, a former Democrat, made "the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear" and agreed with the tech magnate "every step of the way." While their conversation was replete with indications that might account for why Rogan finally endorsed Kamala Harris' opponent — such as the falsity of both the Democrat-constructed Russian collusion narrative and the party's promise of change; Harris' censorial reflex and dislikable personality; economic woes; Democrats' failure or unwillingness to tackle crime; reckless government spending; the border crisis; the promise of Trump's "Make America Healthy Again" movement; and the slaying of Peanut the squirrel — Musk highlighted four key reasons Trump was the optimal choice. To save America from a 'one-party state' Musk, who has reportedly poured hundreds of millions of dollars into efforts to see Trump elected, emphasized that should the Republican candidate lose the election, America will in turn "lose the two-party system." The tech billionaire reasoned that there are only a handful of swing states where the margin of victory is small, "often 10 or 20,000 votes." Musk echoed the concern Rogan raised with Sen. John Fetterman on the previous episode, namely that "the Democrat administration has been ... importing vast numbers of illegal aliens into swing states." "What we're seeing is triple-digit increases in the numbers of illegals in every swing state. Some cases, 700% increases. These are gigantic numbers," said Musk, stressing that these numbers are far in excess of what would be necessary to permanently lock swing states for the Democrats. 'If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election.' "Once the swing states vote blue, there is no election anymore," continued Musk. "There's only a Democrat primary." "Which is so crazy," Rogan responded. "And it's so crazy that people are fine with that." Musk indicated that the ultimate result would be a "one-party state" whose Democratic commissars could continue the project of overwhelming resistive states with illegal aliens until the remaining resistance is electorally neutralized. While the Tesla CEO intimated that amnesty might play a big role in this scheme, he indicated that illegal aliens will be able to put their thumbs on the scale long before receiving citizenship, referencing successful Democratic efforts to eliminate voter ID laws. Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens are also counted in the census, meaning blue states will enjoy greater and greater representation in Congress the longer the border crisis goes unchecked. "If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election," reiterated Musk. Rogan replied, "I think you're right." To save the Constitution Musk noted that there has been a concerted campaign by Democrats to infringe upon Americans' rights and to render the Constitution a dead document. "There have been all these attacks on the Constitution, especially on the Democrat side. They have been repeatedly saying that the First Amendment is an obstacle," said Musk. "And they're claiming, 'Oh, the First Amendment is enabling disinformation, misinformation.' And I'm like, 'Yo, there's a reason for the First Amendment.'" Democrats have been explicit about their problems with the First Amendment and the speech rights it guarantees. Tim Wu, a former special assistant to President Biden for competition and tech policy and author of one of Biden's executive orders, complained in July that the "First Amendment is out of control" and recommended reining it in. Former Biden-Harris climate czar John Kerry noted during a World Economic Forum panel discussion on trade and so-called sustainability in September that "our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer ['disinformation'] out of existence." The Biden-Harris administration has evidenced in practice its hostility toward free speech. For instance, it leaned on social media companies to silence dissenting voices during the pandemic; launched the Department of Homeland Security's short-lived Disinformation Governance Board and tasked an advocate for deplatforming Trump to run the censorship outfit; weaponized the State Department to clamp down on undesirable speech; and worked to control speech on the internet. "If you don't have freedom of speech, you don't have democracy," Musk told Rogan. "If you don't have freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda, and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion." Musk noted further that the Second Amendment — similarly under assault by Harris and her fellow Democrats — serves to ensure Americans can fight off those tyrannical forces that would dare undermine the First Amendment. "I've had these debates, especially with people in L.A., because they want to take everyone's guns away, and I'm like, 'Yo, can you guarantee me that the government — that we'll never have a tyrannical government in the United States? Can you make that guarantee?' They're like, 'Well, nobody can make that guarantee.' I'm like, 'Then we need to keep our guns,'" said Musk. "Because that's what's going to stop it." Harris' campaign website noted that if elected, she would "ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people." In the past, Harris has threatened to storm the homes of law-abiding Americans for surprise gun inspections and sponsored a handgun ban. To save America from suffocating regulation Musk told Rogan that regulation has stymied innovation, such that it apparently takes longer for Space X to gain approval from regulatory agencies for a rocket launch than it takes to build the actual rockets. When making his case for why a return to Trump's style of relative deregulation is optimal, Musk likened regulators to referees in a game of football. "You don't want to have no refs. You want to have some number of refs. But you don't want to have way more refs than players," said Musk. "'Well, the running back couldn't complete the pass because there were too many regulators in the way because the football field was full of regulators.' Like, you can't even play the game." Musk said in September that if Trump wins, "We do have an opportunity to do kind of a once-in-a-lifetime deregulation and reduction in the size of government." To save America from foreign entanglements The duo broached the subject of the left's desperate attempts to liken Trump to Adolf Hitler. Musk made a point of noting that Hitler is so despised because he committed genocide and effectively started war with Western civilization. "Tell me about the wars and genocide that Trump did. Uh, I don't remember that, and he was president for four years," said Musk. "It's insane. It makes no sense." Rogan noted, "He's campaigning on stopping all the wars. It's like his primary concern." 'Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does.' "Exactly! The war mongers like Liz Cheney hate him," added Musk. "Because they love war. ... They profit off of war." Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney — a champion of the invasion of Iraq, which cost thousands of U.S. service lives and trillions of dollars — are among the interventionists who have backed Harris. Harris and Cheney recently denounced Trump's "isolationism," calling his aversion to foreign entanglements "dangerous." Rogan indicated that he felt a sense of cognitive dissonance when the left celebrated Dick Cheney's Harris endorsement: "It's the craziest turn — the craziest 180 I've ever seen in my life." "Yeah, can we play all the videos where you said Dick Cheney was the devil?" Musk replied, laughing. "The war-profiteers hate Trump," said Musk. "Which is f***ed up. ... We should be like, 'Yeah, let's vote for the guy war-profiteers hate. That sounds like a great idea.'" The tech billionaire noted further that the "Kamala puppet regime" is a guarantee for more war. Musk concluded the interview by emphasizing the "men need to vote." "This is a message to the men out there: Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does," said Musk.
