THERE'S A LOT TO GO OVER LET'S JUST COVER IT ALL AT ONCE
IT'S TIME FOR "NEWS SMASH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE *
>> Jimmy: FIRST UP, THE MIDTERMS THEY'RE LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY.
REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO WIN BACK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, WHILE THE DEMOCRATS
WANT TO HOLD ON TO BOTH. TWO SIDES GOING TO HEAD KIND OF LIKE THE WORLD SERIES.
TONIGHT, WAS GAME FOUR BETWEEN THE PHILLIES AND ASTROS. BOTH TEAMS ARE DOING EVERYTHING
THEY CAN TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY. SPEAKING OF THE BEST IN THE
COUNTRY, TAYLOR SWIFT. [ LAUGHTER ] SHE'S THE FIRST ARTIST TO HOLD
ALL TOP TEN SPOTS IN THE BILLBOARD 100 AT ONCE. THAT MUST FEEL GOOD.
AND IF YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD TOO, MAYBE DON'T TRY STOUFFER'S NEW LASAGNA FLAVOR BLOODY MARY
MIX. IT'S VODKA MIXED WITH LASAGNA TOPPED WITH A RIM OF SHREDDED
MOZZARELLA IT'S THE PERFECT DRINK FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BLACK OUT
AND FORGET ABOUT THE MIDTERMS. IT'S A STRESSFUL TIME. [ LAUGHTER ]
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN TOURING THE COUNTRY TRYING TO RALLY SUPPORT FOR THE
DEMOCRATS, BUT THE ONLY TOUR PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS TAYLOR. SHE ANNOUNCED HER ERAS TOUR
THIS WEEK. TICKETS AREN'T AVAILABLE YET, BUT SWIFTIES ARE LOSING THEIR
MINDS. FOAMING AT THE MOUTH, WHICH ARE ALSO SIDE EFFECTS WHEN YOU
DRINK STOUFFER'S LASAGNA FLAVORS BLOODY MARY MIX. [ LAUGHTER ]
LOOK AT THIS THING IT'S LIKE A LASAGNA SMOOTHY. IT'S LIKE A V-8 FROM HELL.
IF YOU DRINK ONE OF THESE, YOU MIGHT GET THE RUNS YOU NEED RUNS IF YOU WANT TO
WIN. PHILLY IS GOING TO GO NUTS BY THE WAY.
POLICE ARE ALREADY RACING TO GREASE UP LIGHT POLES. SPEAKING OF RACES IN POLLS, THE
MIDTERMS [ LAUGHTER ] DR. OZ IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN

CAPITOL HILL ABOUT THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. AND SAID IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL
DAYS FOR ALL THE VOTES TO BE COUNTED IN SOME SWING STATES UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THESE PAST
TWO YEARS, EVERY STATE IS A SWING STATE. [ LAUGHTER ]

A DIFFERENT COLOR ALTOGETHER [ LAUGHTER ] AFTER MONTHS OF CAMPAIGNING,
VOTERS ARE TIRED AND CRANKY WATCHING COMMERCIAL AFTER COMMERCIAL HAS DRIVER THEM
COMPLETELY INSANE. AT THIS POINT, THEY'D BE FINE IF EVERY CANDIDATE JUST
DISAPPEARED. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT THE ELECTION IS IMPORTANT
FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, FOR OUR FUTURE, AND FOR MILLIONS OF KIDS
OF COURSE, NOT EVERYONE CAN WIN. THE LOSERS WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT
ON THE CHIN. [ LAUGHTER ] AND GET SENT AWAY ON AN
INVOLUNTARY VACATION MEANWHILE, THE WINNERS WILL FEEL GREAT UNTIL THEIR POLL
NUMBERS START TO SLIDE DOWN. [ LAUGHTER ] THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
EVERYONE VOTES NO MATTER WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN, BECAUSE VOTING IS THE BEST THING ABOUT
AMERICA SINCE IT WAS BORN IN 1776 [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
WELL, LISTEN TO THIS, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, AFTER STORMING THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6th,
