[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. i'm glad you're here. because it was a very busy weekend.

we havo much to cove have you seethis cover of the "new york "? pop go t wner? that's anthony weiner who resigned from cgrs in 2011 after he was caught sng o twitter wh t name er. then, this is today's paper. he did it agai the "post" somehow got hold of to be sexting between weaner and yet another woman he met on twitter. supporter and she gave it all to the paper and here a some of the photos they published. there he is slipping into his shirt. i have no idea how of himself. this is a shot with his 4-year-old son in bed next to hi not sure what the exclamations are for. then we have this ad for jockey briefs. i hope he's at least getting the underwear for free, you know. that's a lot of advertising. so he's been married the whole

time, huma abadeen, top adviser to hillary clinton, has finally had enough. she announced today they're separating which makes sense. what i wonder about was him. to fig out why a pson would do this. not jt once, not just twe, not even just three times. all that's happened, losing his career, daging his marriage, hurting his wife's career, why would he do this agn? i thought about it a long time and i think i may have figured it out. he's got aalami in his pan and he nt pple to s it. it as simple as that. he w eryone to seet. [ cheers and applause ] it would be like having a lamborghini in your gare and not being able to allowed to take it out on the street. he wants people to see it so badly he can't stop. you can show to it your wife and that's great for a while. you can go to the gym, though the guys in the shower. maybe put your leg up on the beh. hey, fels, what's up? you can go to the doctor and pull it out there. but none of it -- it's not the

same as showing to it a serie ofppreciative ladies and help etending to be ladies on the uger ]et, you know? so another me pitician goes down because he can't keep his pants on. we need to invent either phones without cameras or men without penises. they don't mix well, you know? [ cheers and applause ] thank you. of course, donald trump weighed in on this. he wrote on his website, he said, huma is making a very wise decision, i know anthony weiner well and she will be far better off without him. i wonder how well he knows him? does he know him well? or does he know him well? donald trump's doctor has been making the rounds to defend his unusually effusi reporon the candidate's health. this is trump's doctor,r. they metbrnstein. fomen. [ lauger ] he looks like t kin of doctor that would give you a medical

rijuana cardor your restls le synom or something. as you may recall, he wrote a ump's health lea in he proclaim has had a recent complete medical examination, only positive results, blood pressure, laboratory results were astonishingly excellent, his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary, if elected mr. trump i can state y healthiest individual ever i guess that means he did physicals on obama and reaga and lincoln too. dr. bornstein noways he wrote the letter in five minutes and used hyperbole because being rushed makes him anxious. so, wel he should see a doctor about that. [ laughter ] assessment of the candidate's health. so we're entirely clear, according to his doctor, donald trump's health is astonishingly excellent, unless you're talking about the meteorologist that got him out of the vietnam draft. in that one hs very sick. [ laughter ] the poor guy could barely walk

in that one, so -- [ cheers and applause ] now that this report has been verified, trump is demanding a detail eed medical report from hillary clinton which is a subject that has made me part of a far right-wing conspiracy theory. last monday hillary clinton was here. i asked her to open jar of picks to prove her strength or whatever. and she did and as soon as she did the internet was set athe blaze with accusations that we somehow rigged the pickle jar that we loosened it. alex jones, host of an internet show, did the most entertaining job of examining this. he spent time going over the pickle jar in great detail. popping sou when she o itake a fake. proves the wleng w i responded andout, shot a jar of pickles live on air. getting my attention was all part o alex jones' master plan. >> i trolled them, i knew they'd pick up on this. i wasn't desperate to get on

jimmy kimmel, i trolled you all the time. i know what they pick up on. bro, you say -- i'm going to skip this break. bro, when you say, okay, so what if we did stage it, what's the big deal? you're ming it look like she's great health. >> jimmy: bro, she opened a jar of pickles, how great does that make her health look? [ cheers and applause ] i mean, really, bro. so we're bros. the big takeaway from me is when i am vice president, nobody will be able to use the word "bro" more than three times a year. that i can promise. [ cheers and applause ] you know, senator john mccain of arizona eight years ago, john mccain was preparing to debate barack obama for the presidency. now he's getting stopped at the airport and being asked to answer questions like this. >> who isr favorite what the younger generation >>m.emale celebrities? tney sp? >> there you go. britney spears is certainly very attractive.

>> same way he picked sarah palin to be his running mate. someone asked him at the airpor rage o this uerysual election campaign but i don't think there has been any coverage finer than this from msnbc who we thank for providing us with tonight's finger-licking good edition of "excellence in reporting.">> as you ow, hlary says tha trum campaig is appealing to a fringe in the republican party that is racist. i wt to listen to part of her speech with you and then get your reaction. here it is. >> sure. >> i am the extra crispy colonel and my extra crispy five-dollar fillup is a tasty -- >> aolutelyot, we were going to play -- [ laughter ] >> jmy: but definitely u did play. whthat is even cued ?n the boot

accidently hit the "racist" buttonnd that popped up. the first debate is less than a month away. donald trump, according to his campaignmanager,s not preparing for the debatthe traditiol way. trump esn't really d e vein t mome. halfime even he doesn't know what he's saying. it's called keeping it fresh and i suggest you try it for yourselves at home. since runor vice ng too. president, i will be -- since i'm the only one running i will be debating myself. one of the topics i plan to hammer myself on is jobs. as your future vice president, i'm not just going to create jobs i'm going to make the job u alrea have better. and i' going to d tt by raising awareness. to help improve conditions for everyone,ee polling the americanpeople, askg you t e whatouate about your job. we staed with nurses. we asked them what they hate about their job. tonight we will hear from restaurant servers, waiters, waitresses, whatever you want to call them. tell us what you hate about your jobs? this is just a tiny fraction of

but it does happen. >> not to my baby. >> jimmy: a lot of people feel that way. i kind of don't blame you. it's a weird moment where the kid gets carried off. >> yeah, i think if people want to get circumcised it should happen when they're a an adult and they can make the decision. >> jimmy: on reality television. >> yes.

imaginationdy believe it would become some big deal. >> there was no pop. >> jimmy: there was no pop but also you have to remember something, you have to get very close to something. if i have a barbie doll i have to put it up to my tie. i have a pickle jar here if you want to -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you are the most trusted man in news. i don't know how you can verify. i guess you can feel whether it has been opened? >> lasik. december 31st, 2017, so it's relatively new. >> jimmy: relatively new. we bought it at the 99 cent store so it might not be as fresh. >> you want me to try to open it? >> jimmy: if you care to, go ahead. >> this is the same kind of jar she opened? >> jimmy: the identical jar -- same brand i mean, same size. she opened it very slowly also which i think is why people think something was weird. but she opened it very slowly, so maybe the gas escaped at a slower rate. you go crazy and tell me what you think. >> ready? >> jimmy: you're going to be part of the conspiracy now, you realize that.

>> i'm going to do my best. >> jimmy: alex jones is going to be all over you. >> let's see what happens. >> jimmy: here we go. here it is. wolf blitzer. oh, no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there was a pop. >> i heard the pop. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i heard it too. i don't know if we heard it on tv. but the internet will absolutely let us know. >> i definitely heard the pop. >> jimmy: you know the nice thing about pickles is not only can you eat them, they can also be used as a cologne. congratulations. i know we have a lot of baby pictures on the show tonight. you have a grandson now. >> yes. [ cheers and applause ] >> rubin daniel snyder. >> jimmy: rubin, another sandwich-themed child. >> ruben. he's adorable. >> jimmy: did you encourage them to name -- >> no, we did not know the name until we showed aunt the hospital the night ruben was born. >> jimmy: wouldn't it be wonderful to have a baby wolf running around? wouldn't that be something that

would make you so tickled? >> not really. >> jimmy: it would not? do you feel your name has been a burden to you? >> growing up in buffalo, new york, occasionally teachers wouldn't believe it's my real name. >> jimmy: right. >> what's your real name? i'd say, wolf. which it is my real name. and they would say, go to the principal. >> jimmy: you would bite them? [ laughter ] >> sometimes the kids made fun of it. >> jimmy: yes. >> but it's my real name. >> jimmy: of course it's your real name. who would change their name to wolf? >> yeah, i know. >> jimmy: by the way, i know you know this. people may not know that you and my father have a striking resemblance. >> he's a very nice guy. >> jimmy: thank you. and my dad's in the audience right now. look at my dad next to wolf. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: face the camera. he's upset that you change d. pretty good, right? [ cheers and applause ] >> very handsome guy. >> jimmy: that's what he says about you. >> little gray coming in.

>> jimmy: i do have some gray coming in. i don't know if i told you this. i got a picture of you meeting the pope. and i framed it. i just hung it in my parents' house. to see if anybody like really noticed. so far nobody has commented on it. you'd think they'd go, jim, you met the pope? or, why is wolf blitzer on your wall with the pope? but it hasn't caused any commotion in the house at all. >> it was an exciting moment in my career. >> jimmy: this has been a crazy election obviously. you're sick of talking about it? >> no. >> jimmy: you're not? you are sick of talking about it? >> i love politics. >> jimmy: it has been so unusual. but i have to say, of the many great moments on television, this to me, the moments we've assembled here, are among the greatest of this election cycle and it involves you. >> this is all a game. when we do, jake, we're going to have a lot of enthusiasm -- >> wolf, wolf. >> i'm sorry. do you have confidence -- >> jake, all i can tell you is you're asking the questions -- >> wolf. >> you're asking me questions,

what do i know? thank you, wolf. >> at least you got the name. >> all right. you look a little like him. >> thanks for joining us. >> jimmy: well, that was weird. jake tapper's a handsome guy. >> very handsome guy, nice guy. i don't look at all like jake tapper. >> jimmy: you don't. >> he got a little confused. >> jimmy: at that point do you go, maybe this guy's not with it? >> i didn't correct him the first time. i'm trying to be polite. >> jimmy: right. >> bernie sanders. he's bernie sanders. but the second time i said, wolf. and he said, oh, yeah, wolf. but then the third or the fourth time, he still kept calling me jake. i was like, okay. >> jimmy: it's great to see you, jake. >> he's a very nice guy. >> jimmy: it's great to have you here. are you going to be here all week? >> no. heading back. >> jimmy: i don't know if you need a day off someday, plug my dad into "the situation room" and see if anybody notices. you know? >> let's see how he does. >> jimmy: we'll see how he does. >> if he can do a "happening

now," let's see how he says that. >> jimmy: i don't think he can do that, we won't even try. "the situation room with wolf blitzer" weekdays on cnn. be right back with bonnie raitt! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by samsung.
