s stephen colbert's guess include don cheadle. amendment 1 is endorsed by florida's firefighters... because it does solar the right way. amendment 1 protects consumers from scams, this is mike's office. if he doesn't show up, he doesn't get paid. too often marco rubio didn't show up and failed us when he did. i am patrick murphy. to get things done, you've got to show up. you've got to work together. whether it's protectinal curity and women's health care or growing the economy, instead of pointing fingers. i am patrick murphy and i approve this message because i'll never stop working for you. under state attorney mark ober's watch, rape and sexual assault are on the rise. ober is not just ineffective, he declined to prosecute a man who forced a girl into sexual slavery, even bthe ctim. andrew warren, an experienced prosecutor, will reallocate resources to target violent crime, okay, you know i was your governor. but there' s some things you may not know. my hair used to be way better. i played quarterback. my dad was a doctor her

don cheadle and stevie wonder. we'll see you back here tomorrow as you make up your mind, remember -- heck took all that money from wall street and predatory payday lenders and voted their way. he even wanted to privatize social security, risking it on the stock market. congressman heck just doesn't care about people like us. i'm catherine cortez masto. i know some people are so disgusted with politics they think their vote doesn't matter. i know that, working together, we can make progress. as attorney general, i brought democrats and republicans together to fight sex trafficking and drug dealers. and i took on the big banks who took advantage of nevada homeowners. i approve this message because in washington, >> yesterday "the new york times" reported that donald trump's staff took away his twitter account. the following is a cartoon reenactment of his reaction. >> all right. here we go. all right. all right. 3:00 a.m., time for a tweet storm. let's see what i can pinch out.

you have don cheadle, you have jesse williams, you have mart be sheehan. when you pulled those stars together, did they come together with the kind of enthusiasm we saw in 2008 over barack obama or was it terror over donald trump that brought them to you? >> well, it was pretty much a combination of both. no one person i contacted said no. >> it feels like a message that is about donald trump but it's in a very civic-minded message about voting. is the idea here that young are people, people who are into popular culture are naturally anti-trump or what? what is the idea here? who are you trying to motivate? >> i am trying to motivate the people who might not otherwise vote because they've been so beaten down by this campaign. it's a partisan issue to try to get out the vote because the republican party is actively trying to suppress voting. particularly we're seeing it north carolina but we're seeing it all over. to remind people this is happening and, therefore, if somebody doesn't want their voices to be heard, that's an even better reason to get out and

. >> absolutely and the truth is nobody is looking to don cheadle for it by somehow to vote.he content of the script to the writers mattered more than the stars. >> george clooney doesn't impact voters as much as a dedicated sitcom writers from modern family do our will and grace. if you generate characters that people know and love the most characters head to leftist platitudes after while you start to agree with them because after all these are nice and wonderful people. john: imagine clint eastward. he's more than an actor he's a director but their other republicans. there is arnold schwarzenegger john boyd angelina jolie's father gary sinise and others. >> you can't name a hollywood star or director who is openly conservative when they began and now they are big star. if you are entering the industry you have to keep under wraps because nobody will hire you. the way that hiring and firing doses on the basis of social contact. if you come out and samer public and they may say that bill is an odd guy. if you show up in hollywood with your make america great that the chances

don cheadle, the actor, says you are what you have to defend. and if you are sitting in a car if someone sees you, are they going to pull you over because you're a black man in a white neighborhood looking suspicious sitting in a car? if you are kendrick meek when he takes off his congressional pin and walks down pennsylvania avenue, can he get a cab? kind of hard. even if he's wearing a suit. it's happened to me. so people are always looking for ways to figure out how they dine themself. and once you have proven to black folk that you aren't abandoning them or turning into something else, being a sellout, then they will embrace you. plus you have to be able to win. >> host: now, are there certain tricks they've learned on how to campaign with mixed audiences, how much to play up certain things? >> guest: it is interesting to watch actually. i mean, i think everybody coaches a little bit, especially african-americans at a certain level. i do. you speak differently because you want to be heard, that's why you do it. but listening to jesse jackson
