I have this morning, Vinny, we're listening to TKA.

What do you know about TKA? Louder Than Love. We're listening to Spring Love, Come Back To Me, Because I Love You, by Stevie B.

And who else do we play this morning? Oh, Shannon.

Vinnie (0:44)

Let the music play.

SPEAKER_3 (0:46)

Don't get away.

Patrick Bet-David (0:53)

That's what's been happening this morning, and Tom's looking at us like, what the hell are they talking about? All of them is doing bong heads.

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

Yeah.

Tom (1:00)

Listen to them doing bong heads.

So, if you know freestyle, and if you're above 40 and you listen to freestyle, put the best freestyle songs, Bill. I want to see what you put up there. And we've got a lot of stories to cover here today. One of them is, you guys don't even know, Vladimir Guerrero gets a $500 million contract, and they ask him, hey, your season sucked. You went to the World Series last year, almost won the whole thing. You guys kick off game seven with a three-run home run. You're supposed to beat the Dodgers.

And he has a horrible season, gets a half a billion dollars, and he says, they didn't pay me for what to do this year. They're paying me for what I did before. What a shitty attitude. What a horrible attitude to act like that. And it was my favorite World Series I ever watched. Anyways, we'll talk about that. And then we got some sports stuff we'll talk about.

We got the midterms. There are so many stories about midterms. I don't even know which ones to put, so we got a category that just says, midterm warning signs. And by the way, the warning signs are all for Republicans. Watch this. Number one, 17 Republicans in close races break with Trump on Iran War. That's a problem. Let's see what happens there. Midterm candidates are dumping debates. 21 out of 36 gubernatorial races may not have a debate. The new thing to do is let's not debate, right? In a society of freedom of speech, let's not debate. Let's not sit there and debate issues. I don't want to talk to the other person. Let me get this straight. If you don't want to sit and talk to other people to get deals done, how the hell are you going to be a person that's getting deals done when you become a governor? How do you make, give me the reassurance to know you're going to be able to do that? I don't know about some of the things they're doing right now with these governors. Even if it's Republican or Democrat, I've publicly called them out. I think it's a horrible, too cool attitude of I already got it, it's done, we're going to win. And then whenever you lose, then what's going to happen? Anyways, I'm not happy about that, but we'll talk about it. Democrats hit with a plus nine in polling average.

Biggest lead of the cycle. We'll show you some of the stuff for Cal-She. We've got to see what people are saying with Cal-She.

And it's not looking good. Florida Republicans are bracing for the worst results they've had since 2018

Vibes return. Worse since 2018 We'll address that. Bill Maher says the president is the efferon in Find Out Presidents, a good clip. UK police arrest five men, okay, who were trying to attack a base that has 125 US soldiers and bombers.

Vinnie (3:24)

B1, B2, and a farmer pack called their 9-1, 9-9-9, it's our 9-1-1, and was like, I saw 8-10, they caught 5-3 white vans, they evacuated the whole freaking neighborhood and wait till what the news was reporting.

Patrick Bet-David (3:37)

We'll talk about that. And then Trump and Xi visit. Apparently, there was a lot of things talked about. One of the things that was talked about, which is apparently a big deal, is Xi offered to give two pandas to us, okay? And I'm being, one is a male, one is a female, they're both born in 2020 One is called Pink Pink, the other one is called Fu Shuang.

And I'm not even kidding with you, these are the names. And apparently, some people believe that pandas are not even real animals because all they want to do is eat all they're not made. They don't mate. The reason why they're going extinct is because pandas don't mate. And so some are saying, maybe China created this 150 years ago as a way to spy on others. Anyways, they gave us two pandas, which is I guess a big celebration. It's China's way of saying, Tom, we want to do a deal with you. That's their way of doing it. When they give you a couple pandas. But apparently, there was a bunch of other things that, you know, hey, they're welcoming 100,000 soldiers, you know, a bunch of other things that we'll get into. Trump asked you, do you need some military weapons? Do you need help with anything?
