away us mail is where the action is more than 34 million early votes have already been cast nationwide, more than 20 million of those votes were sent by us mail and nbc news, wall street journal poll found roughly one in five americans plan to use a male glenn ballot. the battleground state of georgia, seeing record-breaking turnout in early voting within that number, more than 150,000 mail ballots have been received in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, which may determine the outcome of the presidential race. they've accepted more than 1.2 million mail-in ballots with the race. so close in pennsylvania, both parties, both sides preparing to grind it out in court over every last vote. republican said on friday they plan on appealing to the us supreme court a decision from pennsylvania's highest state court that allows voters to cast a provisional ballot if their mail ballots were tossed out because they were improperly sealed or mislabeled it's unclear how many ballots the dispute could affect as not

every county notifies voters ahead of election day that their mail ballots have been disqualified six out of the seven battleground states will accept mail ballots if they're received honor before election day nevada will also accept mail ballots up to four days after the election. if they are postmarked on or before november 5 similar to 2020, we may not know the projected winner on election night poll workers in wisconsin and pennsylvania barred from opening and processing mail-in ballots until election day that could cause delay with only ten days to go. you can count former president barak obama as among the 19 million americans. and counting who have voted early hey everybody, i'm back in my hometown of chicago and i just filled out my ballot to vote and it's time for me to go drop it off in the mail. >> so filled on my ballot. i'm not putting it in this trusty

mailbox, but i got to make sure there he goes in there. it has now successfully in the mailbox. i trust the us postal service to get this done last month, nearly three dozen top election officials nationwide raise their concerns with us postal service about timely delivery of election materials. >> good opportunity to check in with the united states postmaster general louis dejoy, mr. postmaster general, thank you for being here. big picture for me. what does your performance dashboard say about the 2024 election mail as of now? >> well, michael, thank you for having me just in general first off, it's an exciting time to be at the united states postal service and work all the employees working at the united states postal service as we undergo a major transformation for the future nothing is more important right now than this year is this year's election. we have so far received about

664 million ballots in it, tended to us and we're in process of coming back from the voters we are very much dial down on processes across a 31,000 1,000 facilities we have a good communication system between ourselves, our yg, the election officials, secretaries of state were seeing 99, 99% on time farmers across the nation where we have issues which are incidental issues throughout where on them the communication feeds right up through the whole organization, right out through the election officials and i'm pretty excited about where we are and we have we were coming into the final stretch right now and as i said, when i spoke to you before, we're gonna have good, good good performance, not perfect, but world-class performance with regard to our ability i think that some viewers might be surprised

about the precision, precision with which you can track the data. i'm gonna put on the screen a part of your testimony before congress, a couple of months ago, were you spoke of fiscal year 2024 as it then existed? where you are delivering on time at 94.29% of the time with 96.71% delivered within a day of our standard on average. and this relates to election mail on average, you said at the time it is being delivered in just 1.3 days? how are you able to be so certain what's the tracking process? can you give me the short version so mail that we have we have ibm. >> could we have codes? so we have barcodes on a system. we have clearance processes throughout the throughout the operation and over the last four years, a lot of new technology has been employed. both by us and by our election officials to follow the ballots

followed a ballots through the system we have and we as we get closer to the election now, we have extraordinary measures that will bring those scores up, that will make this process faster. but we have an overwhelming amount of tracking and tracing ability for from pope pieces of mail, imaging. we have images of ballots when i get a call from an election official or a secretary of state about a problem with a particular mail piece we're able to go into our data and look and get it, get photographs images that were taken as it moves through the process of those particular pieces. as long as we can get, you know, get the identity of the time to date, the location that it in fact happened. it's pretty amazing in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, the postal service was really challenged. >> here's more of your testimony before congress will put it up on the screen. you said despite dealing with the considerable disruptions related to the covid-19 pandemic, the postal service delivered at least 135 million

ballots to or from voters in the general election, we delivered 99.9% of ballots from voters to election officials within seven days, we delivered 97.9% of such ballots within three days overall, on average, we delivered a valid to voters in 2.1 day's most it's importantly on average, we delivered ballots from voters to election officials in just 1.6 days. do you anticipate higher or lower mail traffic in comparison to the pandemic, the presidential race of 2020 now, the presidential race of 2020, i believe we had about 135 million ballots coming through the system. i think we'll be approached what, you to know, it's about 0.11% of all male we handle 400 million pieces a day specific areas of the nation that are the focal point of this election. >> my home state of pennsylvania, you know, mr.

postmaster general, lot of the pundants, the experts, the number crunchers, they say pennsylvania could determine the outcome. >> can you speak to me about anything you're seeing in the commonwealth of pennsylvania that we should know about well, i think, you know, i'm seeing i see out performance scores and in pennsylvania and air in their approaching that 99% we do have incidents and we have good communication with the with the election offices. i want you to just eight map about 8,000 election offices around the country, that election boards around the country to had different rules and different, different procedures and different types of mail pieces. so we're all in and different rules for when a vote gets tendered encountered and so on. so in great communication with that, with them where we have incidents with it immediately we jump on it, whether it's something that we did, whether it's something with regard to the mail piece, whether it's something we got to the tender and we're resolving these problems very,

very quickly and minor, their minder minor issues in the overall scope of what's going on in pennsylvania how about in the south helene and milton ravaged areas of the south florida hit hard. >> asheville, north carolina really wrecked what are you seeing in terms of the aftermath of the storm and how it impacts the delivery of mail, information. >> well, first first of all, both both of those hurricanes and my heart goes out to all those people that were affected by it. >> i will tell you there is we ought second to none on our response to disasters where the first sign on normalcy that comes into these communities in hurricane milton, the day before the hurricane had 9.2 million delivery points that we're going to potentially be affected and we know we have, we have an unbelievable controlled shutdown of all our operations and so and people and so forth. we wake up the

next morning, we figured out that there was 4.2 million addresses affected. and at each day, we start to whittle this down to right now there's about 200 delivery points points in florida that are affected in a way we whittle it down is by actually trying to go to each of these delivery points and see that we can in fact get there in north carolina, it's a little bit of a different story. first of all, it's harder to track because of how it moved through the nature. but we had several million exposed and it where we stayed at a couple of hundred thousand for over a week. we lost 20 post offices where we're down to about 3,000 delivery points, but we're setting up we're going to shelters to help people at a displaced from their homes we delivered me, i'll take their address changes there. we've opened mobile post offices our kara people are under their houses are impacted, and i'll people still go out and try and serve the american public. it's quite

phenomenal. >> i mentioned the state election officials who in september had written a letter and among other things, i'll put this up on the screen. they raised concerns that they had they said in nearly every state state, however, local election officials are receiving timely postmarked ballots. well after election day and well outside the three to five business days usps claims as the first-class delivery standard, comments made not pertaining to what's going on today in this cycle, but respond to the concerns that were raised. have you? you i guess this is the question. have you addressed all of the concerns that were raised in that communication to you back in september well, first of all, i want i recognize and i believe you do also the intensity and the stress that have put on an election officials throughout, throughout the nation and we spend a lot of time throughout the year community, you know communicating with them and trying to make sure that the

mail pieces in the process and everybody understands the what they're trying to do and how it fits into the mail, into the male mail system? >> i have spoken to the members of those of the leaders of that those two organizations. and we have spoken to secretaries of state directly, myself and my team. i have over 150 people communicating with these offices around around the country across the whole nation. does we are not perfect, but we are world-class in terms of this whole delivery process. and what we have done is to amped up. i'll communication and these are incidents and everyone can have an incident we need to look at what the specifics we get on the specifics and we've worked through everyone. i've opened my eyes. i allowed myself to

the gave out my number for people to call if they have an issue and we have been working these things down and i think we are well i'm pretty positive about the performance and the service that we're doing here's what i'm taking away. >> this is what i'm taking away. these are not your words, stuff is going to happen because stuff always happens, but it's a pretty good record thus far. of where things stand. yes or no. is that fair? yeah, absolutely. yes. i'm very let you know, you know, the drill here. i get a lot of social media reaction during the course of the program, i'd rather, i'd rather see it before you leave me. catherine put up on the screen what some of the reaction is for the postmaster general would you send money in the mail? that's kind of a ridiculous question. why why are we even asking that? kept give me another one another social media reaction please? until trump's loss in 2020, mail-in ballots have traditionally been secure and reliable after his loss and without sufficient evidence to

prove fraud, mail-in voting was vilified. why? because democrats most often use it and republicans don't, it should be easy to vote. you want a piece of that, mr. postmaster general? >> well, all i would say is we have weak conduct, a business process that is also a public service and our operations, we collect and deliver mail. we don't deal with policy, we don't deal in a lot of rhetoric. we try not to incite the public in any other way than to be confident in terms of what we, what we do and you know, the rest of it goes on. there were very much focused on improving our service. i'm 12th in terms of our public service, the american and people, which includes other things besides just election mail and also growing our revenue, reducing our costs and so on final question, is there a common misconception?

>> is there an urban legend that you hear time and again under this umbrella of election mail that you want to address, something that you came here to say today that i've not given you the opportunity to say well, i would say i would say this that as, you know, they waited up to 640,000 people across 31,000 facilities that were very, very, very, very hard to deliver for the american people throughout the, throughout the year. and especially when it comes time to disasters, national disasters, and election time, i'll people dive on ballots when they see him and we conduct extraordinary measures in the last days and this coming week is the toughest week for the postal service tougher than even peak season because of the exactness that we try and get at every single map, every single ballot, trying to get it up delivered, having said and we go through it and we do a good job irregardless of one, it gets tendered, it regardless of the type of precision in the mail

piece, it regardless of the size, we're going to get to that 99.5 something, 99.6% beside performance level. >> okay, yeah, that 95 or 99 or 99.6 appreciate your being here and hope that things continue to run smoothly for the next ten days. thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> up ahead. we're following the breaking news out of iran after israel launched a series of retaliatory airstrikes plus former president trump sat down with the popular podcast host joe rogan. will his appeal to young men be enough to win? and for the first time in decades, the washington post is choosing to not endorse a presidential candidate. i'll speak speak to former executive editor of the paper, marty baron. he received over 1.4 million views of the tweet in response, i want to know what you think go to my website. it's we're kind of.com answer today's poll question. do you agree with the washington post's decision to forego endorsing a presidential candidate, citing independence

try and circle back joining me now is david axelrod a cnn senior political commentator, former senior adviser to president obama, mark mckinnon, former adviser to president george w bush. and the late senator john mccain. he's also the author. mark is of a new vanity fair piece called men in red why more and more young male voters are being magafied. david, let's begin with that breaking news from iran. what are the political stakes and impact here in the u.s. for our election look, i think there are impacts of it. i believe that one of the things that stalled out, kamala harris is very steady progress from the time she got in the race to ten days after her good debate performance, were some of the events in the middle east implicating both the administration's policies there, but and bringing it back to the fore and the whole commander in chief function so

i think that if this is the end and this is, there's calm after this, that would be better for her if things erupt there i suspect it could be disruptive in what is a very, very close race mark mckinnon, you agree with david's assessment 100%, i mean, what people are looking for right now as some sort of sense of stability and the administration. and if there's a sense of instability or concern and things breaking on a foreign policy front. sure. i mean, this is, as david said, this is the kind of elections can be one completely the margins at anything in the final days could impact the outcome and mark, let me just ask numbers. might go ahead. david michael let me just add one thing. one of the states that is essential to kamala harris is the state of michigan. and that state has a disproportionately high number of arab american voters around the city of detroit, both

palestinian and lebanese voters. it also has a sizable jewish population. this has created problems for her. so the less this is in the news the better for her it is a margin of error. election as we are ten days out, new york times, sienna college typical, say it's 48, 48 but i know that many of us studied the internals. i'm putting on the screen right now, the answer to a question, regardless of how you might vote, do you trust? kamala harris or donald trump to do a better job on each of the following issues. trump wins on the economy, trump wins on immigration. harris wins on abortion, and on democracy. mark mckinnon, who's got the stronger issues get beyond the top line number and tell me who has the issues that will drive voters to the polls. >> well, that's a great frame there. michael, because it shows that there are among the important issues are kind of split evenly and you can make a

case either way, but the data that got my attention in the last 24 hours was a bloomberg poll that showed that harris has actually either closed or surpassed the gap on it every economic issue with trump in the battleground states and that's the key, is not a national observation that this is a battleground observation. and if she has closed the gap on the economic issues and that she does well on democracy and reproductive rights, then that could be game set match david, give me a nugget from the internals, something that david axelrod says now that's significant i think that this has always been a look. >> let's back up. there's the right track number, the number of americans who say that the country's on the right track as 28%. president biden biden's ratings are quite low. historically, that would doom the governing party. this is a dead even race. why because there are real concerns about donald trump and donald trump's character and honesty and motivation that continues

to be true in all these polls. you know, when you look at honesty and integrity and a series of measures, people have concerns. i felt the most significant line in her town hall meeting on cnn the other day was when she said the difference between us is he's going to bring an enemies list to the oval office and i'm going to bring a to do list and on that to-do list is going to be the concerns of people. and i think that is fundamental in this race a different republican might be running away with this race, given that the atmospherics, but it is close because of crime questions, people have about donald trump. and i think that he is exacerbating that for himself in the final days by getting crazier and crazier it's a pretty interesting split screen on this saturday morning before the election winds down, i refer to joe rogan and donald trump beyond say, and kamala harris here is the former president with joe

rogan. >> it was just released last night about you is that you free ball, like you get out, you do these huge events and you're just talking and you're making we've highlighted you on the show many times. >> were you we did this biden impression was walker, it doesn't know what he's doing storing it, stand up it's funny stuff. but it's like, you in your megaphone elon, what time do it in ilan president's great you have like comedic instincts, like when you said to hillary, you'd be in jail like great timing. but it's like that kind of stuff was unheard of as a politician, like no one had done that and i think it's funny, you need at least the attitude of a comedian when you're doing this business mark mckinnon, when i listened to an hour of it this morning, early, already 7 million others had done likewise, or at least had started it that is a pitch for the 80 million who did not come out, but were eligible in

the 2020 cycle, right? >> where we're down now to the narrowcasting mckinnon, what do you think the impact is going on, joe rogan's program? >> well, i think this is really interesting, michael, because in 2021 out of ten voters was at gen z. this election, one out of six. so this could be up to 40 million voters, up to 20% of the electorate. and so focusing, this could be determinative. >> and so i think instinctively people say all younger voters are usually progress it's of liberal just because of their age and they haven't aged up and, you know, thought about taxes and more will turn more conservative as people often delay the age so that what you think that'd be particularly true on college campuses. >> and so i've been hearing that charlie kirk, who is the tip of the spear for donald trump, among young conservatives have been doing these campus rallies and so i want an athens, georgia and it blew my mind, michael, i mean, it was a sea of young men in red hats. i couldn't even get through the crab because there were so many people with just

pack. >> and so i listened, i think that this could be something that's under the radar, right. >> so the gen z vote could determine the outcome and charlie kirk very smartly and honest and candidly, he says, listen, all we're trying to do among young voters as lose by less. and you're going on joe rogan and speaking to that audience, you could do exactly that. >> well, it's a pitch for a particular type of masculinity. you have a second cut, please she was defund the police. >> she was all these trends, agenda operations, you know, if you wanted a sex change and you were in detention and you demanded a sex change? they would give you a sex change. >> well, the wildest one is this idea of giving free sex change to illegal immigrants. >> that's right. >> in detention that is the wireless. >> the choice is that the biggest problem you have? you just walked here for guatemala. you need to become a girl, but she was in favor of it. >> david axelrod, assess what you just heard

think the fact the facts are off, but beyond that it speaks to this this this whole issue of trans prisoner transition surgery jury and so on is dominating their media, right now. >> and it has for several weeks, they think this is a winning issue and you know, and it's not just about the issue itself. it's about painting her outside the mainstream painting, a caricature of her as a liberal who wants to spend tax money on crazy things. and it's been there really leaning into it. but as to the larger question and why go on, joe rogan? there is, as you point out, a particular target, they spent a lot of time talking about mixed martial arts and i mean the whole trump campaign is suffused with this kind of patina of mascot, a certain kind of masculinity, as you say

and these younger men voters, male voters, are a huge topic so the rogan thing made sense this whole day yesterday was a microcosm of the race. they were both in the state of texas. she was talking to a large arena filled with people with beyonce on the issue of abortion rights. great well, some of that tape while david is speaking, david, i want people to see what it looked like while you paint the picture of beyonce with kamala harris, go ahead yeah. >> look, i think this issue of reproductive rights is a huge motivational issue. and obviously two women in particular, but not exclusively to women, they believe this is going to be a big mover of vote and she is particularly passionate and me phatak and utterly authentic when she talks about this issue. and you could hear that last night. but the fact that the two of them

were in the state of texas just doing the things they were doing in many ways tells you exactly what this race is and what their targets are in the final weeks of the, in the final ten days of this campaign well said, you know, i appreciate both of you. i only wish we had more time. thank you for that. here's some social media reaction that has come in during the course of the program. what do we have catherine? casey is running ads praising trump and running away from harris to save his senate seat speaks volume. it's not just kasie. right it's not only pennsylvania. it's also in wisconsin. and it's also in michigan. tammy baldwin and slotkin is the third of them. is that pragmatic and smart or is that foolish? and disloyal i personally don't think the kc would be linking himself in the way that he has to trump because i've seen that ad in pennsylvania, unless he seen some internal data which tells him he needs to do so still to come more of your social media

it's newsroom on friday, quote, we are returning to our roots of not candidates. >> washington post editor at large, robert kagan resigned from the paper as a result of the non-endorsement. the post reported the decision not to endorse was made by the papers owner, amazon founder jeff bezos. it will be the first time since jimmy carter's 1976 election that the paper won't be selecting a candidate in a washington post op-ed, louis expanded on the decision writing we recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility. that is inevitable. we don't see it that way. we see it as consistent with our values that the post has always stood for. and what we hope for in a leader, character, and courage in service to the american ethic veneration for the rule of law and respect for human freedom in all its aspects. we also see it as a statement in support of our reader's ability to make up their own minds on

this, the most consequential of american decisions, whom to vote for as the next president. the decision comes shortly after the owner of the la times stop the newspaper from publishing its proposed endorsement of kamala harris in reaction, the head of its editorial board, along with two writers, resigned in protest. other major papers have already released their 2024 endorsements just friday, the new york post declared its support for donald trump editorial boards at the new york times and philadelphia inquirer have published support for vice president harris the washington post left this final message for readers, quote most of all, our job as the newspaper of the capital city of the most important country in the world is to be independent. i want to bring in marty baron. he's the former washington post executive editor he's the author of collision of power, trump bezos, and the the washington post in reaction to the news on x, he wrote this quote, this is cowardice. a moment of darkness

that will leave democracy as its casualty. donald trump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner bezos and others, disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage. marty, great to see you again what se, should an owner have in setting editorial policy well, they can decide the editorial policy, whatever he wants it to be. >> of course, that's the prerogative of any any owner and evidently he had to say in this instance and decided not to, not to endorse only 11 days before the election is your bff. >> the timing then if the decision has been made six months a year ago, we're going to sit this out and in the future we're not going to endorse. would you feel differently or would you still see it as spineless? dismiss sure. been made three years ago, two years ago maybe a year ago, rather than just before the

election when it looks like it's quite possible that donald trump would be elected a person who has threatened to seek vengeance against his perceived political enemies who has threatened jeff bezos continually, ever since he launched his own campaign for the presidency. that's first campaign for the presidency in 2015 that would be different. but to sort of declare a moment of high principle, only 11 days before the election that's just highly suspect it's just not to be believed that this was a matter of principle at this point okay. >> so what's really going on here heads of jeff bezos and hit the publisher of the post. >> but look, the fact is, is that trump is threatened bezos continually. he resisted that pressure when i was the executive editor there and i was very proud of that. i was very grateful for for his

independence, for his willingness to stand up to the pressure from donald trump in 2015, 2016, in the years thereafter, an ever since up until now but look, the fact is is that bezos has other commercial interests, as we know huge, big, big stake and amazon, he has a space company called blue origin. trump has threatened to pursue his political enemies and he rewards his friends and he punishes, his perceived political enemies and i think there's no other explanation for what's happening right? now i read in part the statement from will lewis. >> i'm going to put a portion of it back up on the screen. just to remind people of one thing that he said and i want to ask marty baron if there's some truth in this. we also see it as a statement in support of our reader's ability to make up their own minds. you would say what to that? >> i would say it's laughable. >> i mean, the reality is that they've endorsed him a senate

race, they've endorsed in a house race in virginia at the center race in maryland. they've expressed opinions on all sorts of other big issues. if they think that it's up to, if readers can make up their own minds force sure, of course, readers can make up their own minds. but why are they endorsing and other instances expressing opinions and other instances, maybe they should just decide not to run editorials at all, which has entirely an option and some news organizations have decided not to do that. if their philosophy is readers can make up their own minds on the big issues that they face. and in this democracy chrissy, then don't run any editorials, but the fact is they only decided not to run an editorial in this one instance 11 days before the election michael, jordan wants to sell sneakers to republicans as well. is this in spite of what you said in terms of what is behind it, a wise business decision for the post? >> well, i don't think it's a wise business decision. i mean, the fact is there are a lot of people canceling their subscriptions, which is

troubles troubling because look, i mean the news coverage is very good at the post. i am very proud of the work that my former colleagues are doing it the toast, they've been doing it independently but, they've been holding trump accountable. they've been reporting independently on kamala harris as well. they've been reporting independently on all sorts of candidates and on issues and i are grateful for that but look there a lot of readers who are deeply disappointed in this decision have seen it as a sign of weakness on the part of the ownership of the post. and if decided they don't wish to support that. and then showing there discussed with this decision, they've decided to cancel their subscriptions that's going to hurt a lot of good a lot of good reporters and other journalists at the post. and that's deeply concerning because they need to continue with their mission of independent journalism. but in the short run, as a business decision, it's a very bad one.

and i think it's a bad one in the long run. what as well marty baron, thank you for your perspective thank you i was thinking as marty was saying that many are abandoning the post and canceling their subscriptions? >> yes. but will they give up amazon? that'll be the real tell you've still got time to vote on today's poll question at smerconish.com, i want to know what you think now, do you agree with the washington post's decision to forego endorsing a presidential candidate. they cited independence and respect for readers judgment as the rationale marty baron gave you a flip side of that analysis. be sure to sign up for my free and worthy daily newsletter while you knew that somebody who draws for my daily newsletter was going to have to dress the arnold palmer episode. and here it was from steve breen get you enjoy this >> these guys, the plane great.
