Me: “Ted Cruz was born in Canada.”

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. 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 Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@newrepublic read it out loud as "advise of counsel" defense. Not as advise of "counsel defense" and it might make more sense. Not saying he's not guilty of something, just making sure your reporting is accurate.

[Suzanne Hopkins @HarBixNY]

@newrepublic Your report is incorrect. He's not saying his trial lawyers were misleading. He's saying his defense is that the lawyers who advised him on his payoff scheme mislead him & he's not criminally liable.

[Suzanne Hopkins @HarBixNY]

@newrepublic How you describe it in the article implies he's making that argument about his defense lawyers. His defense lawyers said he should not say his payoff lawyers should be blamed, rather he should deny that the money was for a payoff.

@mulaney We're having so much fun watching #EverybodysInLA ! Thank you for the bizarro world antics every night. Hope you do it again next year. PS, Richard Kind should really produce that board game. HIGH-larious!!!

@OsbournePodcast @JackOsbourne Watched the premier episode. @JackOsbourne Commending you on your cool-headed, take-charge response to @MrsSOsbourne's medical emergency. That gave me more goosebumps than the ghosts! Relieved she recovered. An admirer of Sharon & @OzzyOsbourne for decades.

@krockjosh gotta say "attention Kmart shoppers"

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

He does yes. And he would have been massively disappointed in you, sadly

[Suzanne Hopkins @HarBixNY]

I miss the kinder, gentler scandals of not looking presidential in a tan suit and a first lady that would dare bare her well-toned non-caucasian arms in public in a sleeveless sun dress. Oh my the horror (sarcasm).

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

Nine years ago today, Barack Obama wore a tan suit, easily the biggest scandal in presidential history.

It's called personal space & situational awareness. Don't touch ANYONE w/o permission, even a "tap on the shoulder." And especially if they're surrounded by security who will instinctively react. #BritneySpears

@krockjosh @KROCKCNY You and Cody (& friends/fam) are the most authentic morning radio show I've ever listened to (besting by far "Dave and the Fat Man" on 95X back in the 90s).

[Suzanne Hopkins @HarBixNY]

@krockjosh @KrockCodyMack this bear convo reminds me of the Will Ferrell bit in "The Other Guys" talking about tuna and a lion.

@krockjosh @KrockCodyMack your convo about side quests - super inspiring, made me cry - gave name to what I want to do in life now. I'm 52, going to my 1st ever rave in Miami next month. #BestLife thank you!

Catching the lacrosse playoff game between the @UticaYeti and Syracuse Eels. Go Yeti!!!

[Suzanne Hopkins @HarBixNY]

Exciting game today by the @UticaYeti against the Surgeries Night Pandas. Some really impressive shots into the net and they really looked like they settled down and ran their plays. Terrific time watching this new team the past couple weekends.

@KROCKCNY @krockjosh my boyfriend plays a lot of hero wars and rocket league
