"jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, selena gomez, ben stein, and music from palma violets. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you for watching.

[ cheers and applause ] glad you could be here today. a night for beard week, you know, it is fun yes, i have been calling it beard week all week, i am not sure it is technically a beard, one of my friends told me i looked like i dipped my face in a vat of iron. hey, speaking of beard, i bet edward snowden is getting to work on one. he has been living in the moscow airport, trying to find a country to allow him asylum. today he entered into russia, getting his card stamped. the russian government granted snowden asylum for one year, he previously was offered asylum in the bahamas, key largo -- besides that, he was also granted asylum by venezuela, bolivia, and nicaragua, but it

was going to be impossible for him to get to any of those places because his american passport was revoked. maybe he will come back with a bride to the united states. his whereabouts are currently unknown, he could be anywhere, in one of those russian nesting dolls. but it shouldn't be too hard to find him since everyone in russia, almost everyone has a dash cam in their car. are you aware of it? because there is so much corruption involving the police, a lot of people have the dash cams in their car so they can tape everything and see while they drive. let's go to the russian dash cam and see if we can spot edward snowden. [ [ noises ] ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> i guess we won't see him. i know, you know, it is only august, but i believe i may have identified the number one youtube video of 2013. this actually got pulled off youtube today because of some rules they have about abusive language. a woman had rhubarb growing in her yard, and she had it by her fence, a neighbor was in the act of digging it up.

and that led to this very level-headed exchange. [ bleep ]. >> why don't you grow your own? >> this is not your [ bleep ] property, go somewhere else. >> well, away property -- >> go mind your business. >> no, you just don't know -- [ bleep ]. >> do you? >> [ bleep ], [ bleep ], off the property, this don't have your name on it, what is your name [ bleep ]? what is your name on that property? [ bleep ] it is anybody who wants to take it, yes, it is. >> okay, if it is anybody's property why don't you come up here and mow it? >> because my lawn mower is [ bleep ]. >> is that what rhubarb does to your voice? [ cheers and applause ] >> i don't know what the history is between the two, i guess there is some back story. but the harang did not end with that. >> go back inside.

this doesn't bother you a bit. you got the [ bleep ] don't try to copy it. you try to claim everything. >> like you have -- >> you call it, [ bleep ], call it [ bleep ], what are you? >> shut your mouth. >> why don't you go back in to your house [ bleep ]. >> i think i might be in love. i don't know, i think we may have found our next ambassador to the united nations. now somehow, we were able to track the rhubarb lady down, and we have her with us, via satellite. is she there? hello, can you hear me? can you hear me? >> get out of here, get out of here. >> hey, it is jimmy kimmel, and i want to talk to you about the video. >> it is -- go back inside. >> i am inside, may i ask, what was the rhubarb for?

>> to serve up your [ bleep ], you lesbian. >> hey, is that a pie you're making? a rhubarb pie? >> no, it is a [ bleep ] pie to shove up your [ bleep ]. >> maybe we should do a cooking show. well it has been delightful speak to you, ma'am. >> screw you, go kill yourself. [ cheers and applause ] >> you know what? i have a name for her. we'll call her rhu-barb, okay? yesterday, a congressional oversight committee called for the tsa to take action to deal with employee misconduct issues. a new report from the government accountability office said the tsa had a 26% spike in misconduct cases between 2010 and 2012. the chairman of the subcommittee said the employees needed to cut down on the napping, the

stealing, the tardiness and the stealing. i would start with that. the report shows up to 50% of tsa agents at some airports were not doing their job standing around in small groups talking about what movie they saw last night. in january, two tsa agents went to jail to stealing a thousand dollars out of a bag at the airport. the tsa may be the only law enforcement agency in america that commits more crimes than they prevent. meter maids with tasers, but as long as they keep our skies clear with nail clippers and tooth paste tubes, i'm okay with it. and hawaii has a new service that they hope will reduce the homeless population, called return to home program. what they do is buy the homeless people a one-way ticket back home. which i don't know how you can go home, if you're homeless. and how can you even tell who is homeless in hawaii?

no one wears shoes. but if you're homeless, the state will pay for your plane ticket and transportation to the airport. the hard part is trying to get the shopping cart in the overhead compartment. and if homeless people don't want to fly, they will pay for them to go home on a cruise. it is just what the cruise industry needs right now, now with homeless people. i wonder -- you know, i wonder if rhu-barb has anything to say about this. can we get her back up? is she still connected to us. rhu-barb? >> what! >> it is jimmy again. >> yeah, no [ bleep ]. >> what do you think about hawaii sending homeless people back home? >> is that how you got here you hobo-looking [ bleep ]. >> no. barb, have you ever been to hawaii? >> i pick my food out of a gutter. do i look like i've been to hawaii? although i'm sure, i banged don

ho at a cracker barrel o-- >> done ho died five or six years ago, oh, what is that noise? is that the pie? >> go [ bleep ] yourself. >> okay, thank you. will do. [ cheers and applause ] >> this was interesting -- uruguay, guillermo, which is it? >> your way. >> your way? i'll do it my way. whatever it is called, uruguay is becoming the first country to distribute the sale of marijuana. they passed the legislation after 12 hours of debate, it could have wrapped up in an hour but they stopped to play x box. it has been legal there for years, but now they're making it legal to grow and sell it. you know, cocaine has been the

issue for so many years, i think they call it a vegetable. and in the news, snowden, and hawaii, we decided to ask people a question, the question is now that uruguay has been the first country to regulate marijuana, do you think edward snowden's reinjection of bolivia and asylum should entitle him to asylum in russia if they allow him a ticket to the united states? now, there is no way to answer the question well, but as we find time and time again as people stare into the barrel of a camera, they always offer something up. as we said, it is time for the confusing question of the day. >> so now that uruguay has become the first country to regulate marijuana, do you think edward snowden's reinjection of bolivia and asylum should entitle him safe passage in russia if the u.s. allows him a free ticket to the united

states? >> what? wait, to marijuana is legal in uruguay, but you want to go to hawaii? >> now that uruguay has become the first country to legalize marijuana, do you think they should entitle him amnesty to russia if the united states provides him a free ticket to the united states? >> i do, i think that makes perfect sense, hawaii should provide him a ticket regardless, since he doesn't want to go to venezuela, he should go to ecuador. because they have weed, which is always the way to go. >> that makes perfect sense. >> it does. >> now that uruguay has become the first country to regulate marijuana, do you think edward snowd snowden's reinjection of bolivia should allow him asylum in russia if they allow him a free ticket to the united states? >> you say marijuana is legal? let them smoke and chill. i mean, that is what it is.

if it is legal, what it is. >> now that uruguay has become the first country to legalize marijuana, do you think edward snowden's him free asylum? >> that could include other countries following their foot steps, i think that is a good decision for him if he promotes the marijuana claim. and if he follows through with it, it could lead to other discoveries that our nation and world can further discover. so i do believe that he should do that. >> and what exactly is that? >> legalizing or promoting the marijuana, so he could become a free member of the homeless -- [ laughter ] >> are you thinking of running for office some day? >> oh, yes, definitely, i would definitely go after my college

and future. i think i would have a lot of -- definitely a lot of advantages that could entitle me towards a further -- further -- um, leader of america or any country in general. >> from what you just said, i think you're perfectly qualified. [ cheers and applause ] >> somehow, the confuser has become the confused. i don't know what country he is going to run in, but let me know, because you got my vote, pal. we're going to take a break, we have a lot to come, selena gomez, ben stein, and palma violet. so don't go anywhere. >> portions of jimmy kimmel live are brought to you by the new samsung sparkling water refrigerator. you can instill sparkling water
