Jon Stewart Urges Voters to Send Trump Administration a Message
Jon Stewart urged voters to oppose the Trump administration in the upcoming US midterm elections.
He made the appeal in a social media preview for his podcast, The Weekly Show, one week before Election Day.
Stewart said voters should send a message that the administration needs checks and balances.
His appeal was directed against the administration, rather than being a general call to vote regardless of choice.
The episode preview also turned to AI, with Stewart saying the discussion would focus on its real-world economic and financial risks; guest Ed Zitron was named in the podcast’s preview.
The episode was due the next day, while Election Day was one week away.

What people are saying
Please, please for the love of God, get out there and vote.
I mean it as, please send a message to this reckless s–tshow of an administration that enough is enough, that we have had it, that it is time for someone to step up and provide, I believe the framers referred to them as checks and balances, on this utterly imperious administration.
That is the spiel for today. We are not talking about the election today. We will be talking about other doomsday scenarios — financial ones, in particular, about AI.
