a mystery in the mountains, two strange objects appear to have fallen from the sky, landing in two north carolina neighborhoods. so is it space junk or something else? that story is one of the top things people are clicking on right now on our website. it's up for you on the top news sidebar at abc seven news.com. >> space junk or just junk? yeah it might just be junk. >> thanks for joining us tonight. i'm amanda and i'm dan ashley for sandy. >> larry, we appreciate your time. jimmy kimmel is next with vice president kamala harris. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- vice president kamala harris. and abby elliott. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: welcome. thank you. appreciate that. very nice. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here at our home in a very big night. we have a vip guest tonight, a vip vp guest tonight. [ whoops ] all the way from washington, the vice president of the united states is with us. [ cheers and applause ] kamala harris is here. the secret service swept our building. which we desperately needed. [ laughter ] it's filthy, by the way. it's especially great that they're here, because guillermo is not here tonight. we are unprotected. he is on assignment at media day for the nba finals. we sent him away because, for reasons of national security, not many people know this -- [ laughter ] you're not allowed to have both of america's most powerful number twos in the same room at the same time. [ laughter and applause ] so we shipped him off to boston. this was a surprise.

boy, just when you think you can't possibly be surprised by anything anymore, joe biden, our president, got a shout-out from donald trump today that was actually nice. >> joe biden's not too old to be president. i know a lot of people that are older than him, and they're at the top of their game. it's not even close. >> jimmy: well, that is very big of him. [ laughter ] >> but he is too incompetent, and he is too corrupt. he's the worst president in the history of our country. >> jimmy: oh, uh -- just when you think he's going to zig, he zigs. [ laughter ] i can't wait until he's shooting those in the prison cafeteria. [ whoops and applause ] this is interesting. you know how a couple weeks ago, we learned supreme court justice, samuel alito, had an upside down flag flying outside his house after january 6th. he blamed it on his wife, with a story that doesn't quite match up with the police account of the events.

turning the flag upside-down has become a symbol of solidarity with trump. after trump was convicted, marjorie taylor greene posted a picture of an upside down flag, though we are unsure whether she meant it as protest, or just doesn't know which way is right-side up. [ laughter ] but lots of other trumpers have been posting these upside down flags in support of their orange jesus -- [ laughter ] who, of course, has already come up with a way to make money off this. >> hello, everyone. this is donald trump. hopefully your favorite president of all-time. better than lincoln. better than washington. with an important announcement to make. you know i love flags. so soft, so silky. but crooked, sleepy joe and his cronies have the country upside down. it's not good. show your support of trump and america with the official upside down american flags. these are not your regular flags, which are only good for right side up. these flags are handmade in

china, the country upside down from us. each one is individually stitched by an upside down seamstress. priced at $249. do we love this deal? yes, we do. order your official trump brand upside down american flag today. by ten or more and receive an upside down bible absolutely free. give me cash, just give me money. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, you know. raising funds. donald trump right now is not the most popular 6-year-old in the republican party, believe it or not. [ laughter ] last night i shared a video of a little guy named guy, who is the son of representative john rose from tennessee, who made quite an impression during his dad's speech on the house floor yesterday. >> regardless of one's opinion of the current republican nominee, we'd be well served to remember the long and cherished tradition we have in this

country of settling our political differences at the ballot box. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there's our next speaker of the house right there. [ cheers and applause ] today, he became quite a sensation. guy was up bright and early this morning to keep the fun going with dad on "fox & friends." and, to me, this is the kind of thing fox newss needs to do more of. >> well, i'll take this opportunity to say that i think the prosecution of donald trump is a real setback for our country. [ laughter ] ultimately, the people get to decide this issue in november. i think they'll make the right choice. >> jimmy: all right. you know, your son has raised your profile. if i was you, i would take him with me everywhere. >> i think you're right. >> all right. guy, before you go, anything you want to tell our viewing audience today? >> uh -- not really. [ laughter ] >> you want to say hello to anybody? >> not at all. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, no. more of an msnbc guy.

oh, one more question for the kid. why is your dad 80 years old? [ laughter ] the first presidential debate isn't for another three weeks, but there are smaller debates going on around the country. in the district 4 republican debate in colorado, we got to meet a lively cast of characters challenging lauren boebert. one of them is former state house minority leader mike lynch. >> mr. lynch, you i reserve resigned as house minority leader after your drunk driving arrest surfaced this year. my question is not what about when you did while drunk, speeding up i-25 at 90 miles per hour, so fast a trooper thought that you were trying to race them, reached for your gun during the traffic stop, you asked him to keep the arrest out of the media. by question is what you did while sober. [ laughter ] you did not disclose your drunk driving arrest to your. colleagues when they were considering you for leader and leaking you? what does that tell voters about your judgment? >> well, thank you, kyle, for that. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: thank you, kyle. did kyle just win the debate? he's the moderator. [ laughter ] this guy, kyle clark, he's shot out of a cannon. his next tar bet was "beetlejuice" aficionado lauren boebert. >> kyle, i certainly have owned out -- owned up to my night out in denver. and, you know, i've gone on that public apology tour. and i'm grateful for the mercy and grace that has been shown. i'm not going to continue to live life in shame and be beat up by this. and you know, i would like to go back to -- >> we're actually not going to -- we're not going to do that. you had plenty of time to answer the question, you chose not to, that's fine. [ laughter and moans ] >> jimmy: quite a menu. guns, duis, hand jobs, high-speed chase. [ laughter ] colorado is gaining some serious ground on florida here. >> i want to make sure, you have apologized for the theater incident. >> i certainly have.

>> did you apologize for the behavior that went on with you and your date? the date thing? or did you apologize -- pardon me, did you apologize for lying to voters about what you did that night and the disrespect you showed to service workers there night? what specifically were you apologizing -- >> i don't believe there was disrespect. there were things absolutely taken out of context. >> there's video of your interaction with service workers. i'm asking, are you apologizing for lying to voters -- >> i mean, i think it's been very mischaracterized. i'm apologizing for you, kyle clark, getting footage and releasing that. and people seeing this in a very private moment. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes. as a very private moment in the sixth row of a sold-out theater full of families and children. [ laughter ] and then the debate spotlight was turned on a rancher named richard holtoff, who apparently does not approve the lauren boebert's clothes. >> do you regret saying a sitting congresswoman dresses like a prostitute? >> i have five daughters.

i raised five daughters. i tell you what, women in my humble opinion, particularly when they're a congresswoman, need to dress respectfully and professionally, okay? there's times when we've been on the campaign trail -- >> thank you, that's time. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: please, let the guy with five daughters tell women more about how they should december. the big takeaway, kyle clark this moderator, that's how you run a debate right there, like a drill sergeant. [ cheers and applause ] give that man a raise. we don't know who vice president harris will be debating because donald trump hasn't picked a running mate yet. it's between marco rubio and tim scott. and kid rock -- [ laughter ] and a monster energy drink. one of them will run on the maga ticket. you know, it's a big deal for us when we get a visit from a politician of the vice president's caliber. kamala harris. not only does she have a very important job, she is our first female vice president -- [ cheers and applause ] she's our first vice president of color. she broke a number of barriers, and every american should know that.

but of course, we, as americans, don't know that much stuff. [ laughter ] in an effort to educate our country, we went out onto hollywood boulevard to administer the first-ever "vice president s.a.t. test," enjoy. >> how do you say the name of the current vice president? >> i'm not trying to be rude here. is it klamada harris? >> do you know the name of our current vice president? >> yes >> last name? >> anthony. >> camille harris. >> is camille doing a good job? >> uh -- man, i don't know. >> can you name any other vice presidents? >> was joe biden one? i think so. >> yeah. and he was vice president for? >> no, i -- no, he's not. i have no idea. >> he was not, okay. who was obama's vice president? >> oh, god, i'm so bad at this.

i honestly can't remember. >> what does the vice president do? like on a day-to-day basis. >> uh, i think they just -- the vice president is like the vice principal of your school, they don't do [ bleep ]. >> why do they call it the vice president? >> because they're the vice to the president. >> do you think it's time we have a female vice president? >> maybe a change, yeah. >> why do you think it's important in the future that we have a female vice president? >> different outlook on things. a female's perspective instead of just a male's perspective. >> because it's never been done? where does the vice president live? >> the white house. >> could you name three past vice presidents? >> sure. i mean, if i really thought about it, maybe. but right now, no. >> why can't you really think about it now? >> uh -- i don't really want to think about it now, to be honest with you. >> what is the spouse of the vice president called? >> i can't -- are they like a speaker? they're not -- no, no. are they the speaker of the house?

okay, cool. >> could you come up with a scenario where the vice president would be forced to take over? >> yeah. there's a few. >> let's go through them just for fun. >> well, i mean, he could, you know -- someone -- there could be a lapse of national security, and he could get assassinated, or he could be overseas, and there could be, you know, on a uso tour or something like that. there's multiple -- multitude of things. >> excuse me, sir, i need you to come with me, please. just walk over here, it's fine. >> do you know the current vice president's name? >> i do not. i -- i forget it. because i was going for harris, but now it's already done. >> would this blow your mind if i told you that kamala harris is vice president? >> oh my stars! i love you. keep doing you. and i will be checking in from time to time, making sure you doing what you do, because i said your name, harrison. [ laughter and applause ]

>> jimmy: all right. hey, we've got a great show for cow tonight. abby elliot is here from "the bear." and we'll be right back with the vice president of the united states, kamala harris. [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, welcome to the show. tonight, a talented actress you know from the emmy award-winning show "the bear," abby elliot is with us. [ cheers and applause ] tomorrow night, we'll be joined by larry david and cyndi lauper, with music from feist. so please join us for that. our first guest tonight is the third most powerful american in the world after joe biden and taylor swift. [ laughter ] she is the 49th vice president of the united states, from right

here in california, please welcome kamala harris! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you for making time to be here. it is an honor to have you here in the golden state. your home state, california. you miss living here? >> i love california. and it's great that we're able to come back. >> jimmy: what do you miss most about california? >> well, i could go anywhere from saying farmers' markets -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they don't have farmers' markets in d.c.? >> well, you know, california, we're very proud of the produce that we grow here. >> jimmy: we have the best produce. >> i've actually spent a lot of time with the farmers in california -- [ cheers and applause ] you know, so there are great farmers, obviously, all over the country --

>> jimmy: i love a good farmers' market myself. a nice aavocado, you hear about where it was grown. good stuff. [ laughter ] i want to start with reproductive rights. >> yes. >> jimmy: you're for them, yes? >> indeed. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i had a feeling, i knew that about you. i learned a little bit about you before hand. they are being threatened. not just threatened. roe v. wade, we know what happened with the supreme court. it is -- is this something that you ever imagined would happen in your lifetime? >> absolutely not. although i was raised to understand that the rights that we fight for will not be permanent unless we are vigilant in fighting for them to continue. you know, but the thought that almost two years ago, the highest court in our land took a constitutional right from the people of america, from the women of america -- and understand who is to blame. the former president, donald trump, hand-picked three members

of the united states supreme court with the intention that they would undo the protections of roe v. wade. and they did as he intended. and after that, in state after state, laws have been passed to criminalize doctors and nurses. there's a state that provides for prison for life for a doctor administering care. state after state, making no exception for rape or incest. you know, people know i started my career as a prosecutor. you may not know why. one of the reasons is my best friend in high school i learned was being molested by her stepfather. so she came to live with us. and i decided at a young age, i wanted to do the work of fighting to protect women and children from harm. and the idea that these laws would make no exception even for a survivor of a violation to their body? and to tell that woman, that person, you don't have a right to make a decision about what happens to your body next? it's immoral.

and i think most of us agree. one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree, the government should not be telling her what to do with her body. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: and to add on that, additionally, i think we're very focused on abortion, but this is -- certainly affects birth control as well, contraception? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: i don't think most people know that. i don't think people are thinking about that. about the fact that they very well might not be able to get birth control in the states they live in. >> well, but remember, in that decision that undid the protections of roe, clarence thomas said the quiet part out loud, that contraception could very much be at risk. and it is at risk a. let's understand, look at ivf and what has happened, how clinics have closed because of fear they may be violating the law to provide ivf treatment.

what is happening in terms of those who are basically calling for a national abortion ban -- by the way, everybody in new york and california don't feel so safe and secure, because if there's a national ban, nobody will be safe from the government telling them what to do with their own body. and remember, when donald trump was president, he supported a national ban and said he would sign it. and if i have to guess, if he were president again, that's exactly what he would do. >> jimmy: do you think there's a fundamental flaw in our system when a body like the supreme court can make a decision that is so unpopular with americans, and still the vast majority of americans certainly believe in a woman's right to choose, especially -- i think it's 88% support access to contraception. >> in our history, no. look at the dred scott decision. this is not the first time that we know the court can make decisions that violate the civil

rights of the people. but this is when we have to praise the fact that we still have an intact democracy with three co-equal branches of government. so what the supreme court took away, congress can put back in place. and that's where the people come in. with your right to then elect the people in the united states congress who will fight and protect your freedom and put aside their personal opinion about what's best for themselves, or their family, and let you make the decision that's best for you and your family. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: do you think that voters -- do you think that voters are aware that their health care could very easily be taken away? and i'm talking about general health care. >> i think that we need to keep talking about it. again, we have an election coming up in 154 days. okay? the previous president, who is running for election again, when he was president, supported and

fanned the flames of at least 60 attempts to undo the affordable care act. let's remember what the affordable care act did. among many things, it said a pre-existing health condition cannot be the basis of a health insurance company denying you coverage. >> jimmy: and the lifetime caps on coverage that existed are no longer, because of the affordable care act. but do you think -- because i feel like this would be one of those things that the republicans would regret taking away, because the people who supported them would feel this in a real way. >> well, i think they're going to regret what they did on the issue of abortion. and you could see that when you look at the midterms that happened last year. when you look at the special elections. in so-called red and so-called blue states around this country, kansas to california, ohio, virginia -- when freedom was on the ballot, the american people voted for freedom.

similarly, i believe in -- i've tralled throughout our country. the american people know access to health care should be a right, not just a privilege of those who can afford it. if you start messing with people's ability to have access to health care, i think they're going to hell folks at the ballot box where to go. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i hope so. we need to be aware of these things. i'm glad you're making us aware of these things. >> yeah? what does the number 34 mean to you?

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: the vice president of the united states, kamala harris. have you ever met donald trump? >> no. >> jimmy: you've not? wow. that's something else. when the verdict was announced, how do you get that information? >> rapidly. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: are you watching tv? or are you -- somebody is relaying this to you? >> well, that kind of news, usually it's a combination. there are tvs everywhere i am if i'm in the office. and then folks come in. >> jimmy: are the people in the room pretending to not be happy? [ laughter ] or how does that go? >> i mean -- in all seriousness. >> jimmy: yeah? >> just to real level set, let's think about this. a jury of 12 people, peers, over the course of six weeks,

deliberated on the evidence and facts and unanimously determined guilt. 34 felony counts. there was a defense attorney who actively participated in selecting that jury, who actively made decisions about witnesses to call, witnesses to cross examine. and the jury made their decision. and, you know, i think that the reality is, cheaters don't like getting caught. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and being held accountable. but, you know, the reality is, let's just fast forward to november. i think the american people want to know that there is a president who believes their accountable to the people. >> jimmy: and who's allowed to travel overseas? [ laughter ] >> and also a president who the people can count on. >> jimmy: yeah. >> in all seriousness. >> jimmy: oh, sure. >> can count on to do things like cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month.

take on big pharma and negotiate drug prices down for the american people. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: speaking of drugs, now that you mentioned it, cannabis is legal in our state. >> yes. >> jimmy: the dea i think in two months is going to make it a schedule 3 drug rather than a schedule 1. it was in a category with heroin, now it's in a category with like steroids and things that people use regularly. that's good, i assume? >> look, i think we both agree, people shouldn't have to go to jail for smoking weed. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you don't go to jail for drinking alcohol. >> right. >> jimmy: why go to jail for smoking weed? >> we've pardoned a number of people. there was a time people would say, marijuana is a gateway drug. >> jimmy: yes. >> these are failed policies, right in the resources should be better directed and will be better directed to deal with opioid addiction and what we need to do around fentanyl. getting more resources into

mental health and mental health care, right? that's a smarter way. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: are you aware that there is a strain of cannabis named after you? kamala kush? [ laughter ] did you know that? >> really? seriously. >> jimmy: seriously for real. they didn't send you in i? that's outrageous. >> i'm not into it. >> jimmy: you'd think you'd get something. you have the top-level security clearance, right? >> yes. >> jimmy: as high as it can get? >> yes. >> jimmy: so when you become vice president officially, when you're sworn in, have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're like, you know what? i'm just curious, from a personal level, about something like, whether it be ufos or jfk or jimmy hoffa or any of these things we all want happened -- have you taken those steps to look into those things? >> i am interested in those

subjects. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you tell somebody? "hey, i'd like to see whatever files" then somebody delivers them to you? and you sit there and go, whoa! [ laughter ] >> i'm not giving you any more than i gave. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: russia. >> yes? >> jimmy: it used to be, when i was growing up -- really not when i was growing up, like maybe five years ago, one of the fundamental things about being a republican was that you did not trust russia. and now, all of a sudden, where things are completely upside down -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: a lot of republicans seem to be -- seem to side with -- our former president sided with russia over his own intelligence people. so why do you think that is? >> listen, i'm actually going to switzerland soon for the peace conference with zelenskyy and about what's happening in ukraine.

america has a responsibility to uphold and protect not only what we care about in terms of our ideals as a nation, but international rules and norms. one of the most important being the international rule and norm around sovereignty and territorial integrity. the short point being, to stand against any nation that would try and take another nation by force. and change those boundaries by force. you know, i have now, as vice president, met over 150 world leaders. presidents, prime ministers, chance lors, and kings. many of them multiple times. and they look to the united states to be a standard-bearer. and anyone in the united states congress who is playing political games with this is really doing so at our collective peril in terms of our standing and what we stand for as americans. we stand for alliances that we will be with our friends in favor of fighting against

corruption. fighting for human civil rights and integrity. >> jimmy: keeping our promises? >> and keeping our promises. [ applause ] >> jimmy: have you ever been bitten by the president's dog?

sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open, sometimes they won't. and then you need to kick that [ bleep ] door down. [ cheers and applause ] excuse me language. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we're back with the vice president, kamala harris. [ cheers and applause ] i've heard that the president can use a four-letter word from time to time. who curses more, you or joe biden? >> that's -- that's one of the national secrets. [ laughter ] i cannot share with you. >> jimmy: these secrets, boy. now you've got me so excited about what these secrets -- do you keep those from your husband? [ laughter ] >> i do. >> jimmy: you do. does he get upset that you have secrets that you have to keep from him? >> i think he actually likes that quote him. he likes to sleep. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i see.

today there was an executive order regarding immigration. >> yeah. >> jimmy: which is very similar -- correct me if i have any of this wrong -- to the bipartisan agreement that you made before trump made some phone calls and said, hey, hey, we can't -- we don't actually want to do something good for the country when i'm not president. can you tell us a little bit about that and what that specifically means? >> so, on day one when we came into office, we offered -- the first bill, a comprehensive pathway for citizenship, including taking care of our d.r.e.a.m.ers, fixing the broken aspects of the system, including what we need to do to reinforce security at the border. and they didn't take it up. so then there was a bipartisan group that included some of the most conservative senators in the united states senate, who came together with democrats to resolve some of these issues.

and that was the plan, that agreement. well, the republicans in congress got a call from donald trump, "don't do the deal." because you see, he preferred a run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. that's the tragedy of it. and we, our point has been very clear. there are solutions at hand. and let's do the right thing. and again, i think this points to a significant contrast for the people in november. >> jimmy: you live in a home previously occupied by mike and karen pence. when you move into the house -- like, do you and doug push the twin beds in the master bedroom back together? [ laughter ] is that kind of remodeling situation going on? >> we brought our own bed. >> jimmy: trump, he has made it pretty plain that he's planning to go after his enemies or whatever you want to call them. >> yeah. >> jimmy: should he be re-elected.

realistically, like what can a president do to -- say, a talk show host that has been making fun of him? [ laughter ] what can he actually do to, oh, for example, me? [ laughter ] >> i mean -- again, in all seriousness, jimmy, you're right to bring this up. he has been very clear. he intends to weaponize the department of justice against his political enemies. he admires dictators and says he'll be a dictator on day one. he talks about being proud of the fact that, as of today, our daughter, for example, has fewer rights in terms of her reproductive freedoms than my mother-in-law. and so these are very much the issues that are at play about what's at stake. >> jimmy: when you talk about weaponizing the justice system, of course, whatever he does, he accuses -- it's just classic projection. he'll say you're doing it when he's doing it or he intends to

do it. why -- president biden has weaponized the justice system, why doesn't he get his son out of the trial, hunter is currently on trial. couldn't he snap his weaponized fingers and get him right out of that? >> to your point, president is a hypocrite. and will apply one set of standards to himself and another to others. >> jimmy: he was born a hypocrite, he puts the hippo in hypocrite. [ applause ] what i find hard to swallow is -- i mean, listen, these are not bad people, people who support him. they're getting misinformation. but how they don't see through this, like how they don't look at this and go, wait a minute, that makes no sense? >> i think what -- when i travel the country, i'll tell you what people talk with me about. they talk about the fact that

they need affordable health care. a lot of people talk to me about debt and that they need to have relief from things like medical debt. something we've been working on. do you know that our administration has now made it so that medical debt cannot be included in your credit score? [ applause ] >> jimmy: that's great. no one should have medical debt. >> medical debt, which is the result usually of a medical emergency, has nothing to do with whether you're financially responsible or not. it shouldn't count against you on a credit score which could determine whether you get a car loan or a mortgage. here's the thing, just to pull back. i think there's a certain perverse thing that has happened over the last several years in our country, which suggests the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down, instead of who you lift up. you know, the notion that i think is very backwards, to suggest it's a sign of weakness to have empathy. to have some level of concern or care about the well-being of other people. then go about doing something to uplift their condition.

that's the track that we take. we believe that's the role of a leader. that's certainly how joe biden and i and our administration have been doing our work. by contrast, you've got on the other side, you know, this constant bullying and trying to belittle people and divide people and just fan the flames of fear. and that's not what leaders do. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah. unfortunately, some of them do. yeah. >> real leaders. >> it's great to have you here. thank you for all you do. >> thank you. >> jimmy: the vice president of the united states, kamala harris.
