there are people in the world who are so sick or so angry that they sometimes hurt other people. and they're usually the ones who usually end up in the news. when i was a boy and i heard something scary, someone getting badly hurt or something like ta, i'd ask my parents or my grandparents about it. and they would usually tell me how they felt about it. in fact, my mother would try to find out who was helping the person who got hurt. always look for the people who are helping, she'd tell us. you'll always find somebody who is trying to help. so even today when i read the newspaper and see the news on television, i look for the people who are trying to help. >> jimmy: well, hello, everyone.

here we are again in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicable, shocking and painful tragedy, this time in las vegas. which happens to be my home town and cleto's hometown and cleto sr.'s hometown. as you know, 59 people are dead. hundreds are wounded in what they say was the deadliest mass shooting in modern american history coming about 1 1/2 years after the previous deadliest mass shooting in modern american history, in orlando, where 49 people lost their lives. of course, we pray for the victims and for their families and friends, and we wonder why, even though there's probably no way to ever know why a human being would do something like this to other human beings who are at a concert having fun and listening to music. jason aldean was on stage, luke combs, who is here with us tonight, he played the show, too.

obviously no one could have ever expected that something terrible would happen, but it did. a very sick person smuggled 17 guns into his hotel room and smashed out the windows, started firing indiscriminately from the 32nd floor into a crowd of 22,000 people across the street. and as a result of that, this morning we have children without parents and fathers without sons is, mothers without daughters. we lost two police officers. we lost a nurse from tennessee, a special ed teacher from a local school here in manhattan beach. and it's the kind of thing that it makes you want to throw up or give up. it's too much to even process, all these devastated families who have to live with this pain forever because one person with violent and insane voice in his head managed to stockpile a collection of high-powered rifles and used them to shoot people. the guy was an accountant.

he had no criminal record. his brother who lives in florida seems totally shocked, genuinely dumbfounded. he said he saw no sign of any of this. the owner of the store that sold the killer some of the rifles that he passed the government mandated background check when he was in the store and he wasn't on any watchlist. didn't seem to be a religious or political extremist. came out of nowhere. because of that, because there weren't any of the usual signs, you know, i've been reading comments from people who say this is terrible, but there's nothing we can do about it. but i disagree with that intensely because, of course, there's something we can do about it. there are a lot of things we can do about it. but we don't, which is interesting because when someone with a beard attacks us, we tap phones, we invoke travel bans, we build walls to take every possible precaution to make sure it doesn't happen again but when an american buys a gun and kill other americans, then there's nothing we can do about it.

the second amendment, i guess, our forefathers wanted us to have ak-47s is the argument, i assume. orlando, newtown, aurora, san bernardino, every one of these shootings the murderer used automatic or semiautomatic rifles which are not weapons you use for self-defense. they're weapons designed to kill large number of people in the shortest possible alt of timoun time. this guy apparently had ten of them in his room. at least legally. at least some were there illegally. why was this allowed? i don't know why our leaders continue this to happen. five people shot shot in lawrence, kansas, last night, three of them died. it didn't make a blip because this is a regular part of our lives now. you know what will happen? we'll pray for las vegas. some of us will get motivated. some of us won't get motivated.

the bills will be written, the nra will smother it with money and we'll get distracted and move on to the next thing and it will happen again and again. and last night, the white house press secretary sara sanderson said this morning it was not the time for political debate. i don't know. we have 59 innocent people dead. it wasn't their time either. so i think now is the time for political debate. president trump is visiting las vegas on wednesday. he spoke this morning, said he's praying for those who lost their lives. you know, in february he also signed a bill that would make it easier for people with severe mental illness to buy guns legally. mitch mcconnell, speaker of the house, paul ryan, a number of other lawmakers who won't do anything about this because the nra has their balls in a money clip also sent their thoughts and prayers today. which is good. they should be praying for god to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country because it is so crazy. right now there are loopholes in

the law that let people avoid background checks if they buy a gun privately from another party, they buy it online or at a gunshow. so i want to show you something. these are the faces of the senators who days after the shooting in orlando voted against the bill that would have closed those loopholes. these are the 56 senators who didn't want to do anything about that. 90% of democrats -- i'm not talking about politicians here -- i'm talking about people. and 77% of republicans support background checks at gun shows. 89% of republicans and democrats are if favor of restricting gun ownership for the mentally ill. but not this gang. they voted against both of those things. so with all due respect, your thoughts and your prayers are insufficient. and by the way, the house of representatives will be voting on a piece of legislation this week. it's a bill to legalize the sale of silencers for guns. this is what they're working on. we have a major problem with gun

violence in this country. and i guess they don't care. if i'm wrong on that, fine, do something about it. because i'm sick of it. and you know, i want this to be a comedy show. i hate talking about stuff like this. i just want to laugh about things every night, but that -- it seems to becoming increasingly difficult lately. it feels like someone has opened a window into hell. and what i'm talking about tonight isn't about gun control. it's about common sense. common sense says no good will ever come from allowing a person to have weapons that can take down 527 americans at a concert. common sense says you don't let those who suffer from mental illness buy guns. you know, in june of last year the nra fought to make sure people on the no-fly list can buy guns. they are allowed to get on a plane, they're allowed to own a very dangerous gun. who thinks that makes sense?

them, i guess. the people who voted with the nra. maybe i'm nuts, but i would like to think we could put politics aside, no american citizen needs an m-16 or ten of them. and maybe that way we don't do this again. i mean, that seems very reasonable to me. [ applause ] you know, in 1980, we had a big fire at mgm, the hotel in las vegas. it was horrible, right? i mean, 85 people died. you could see the fire. i was 13 years old. i'll never forget. a man jumped out the window. it was a terrible thing to see. and then a few months later there was another fire at the hilton and five people died. so you know what they did? they changed the laws. they made major changes to the fire safety codes, and it hasn't happened again. why would we approach this differently? it's a public safety issue. and something needs to be done

already. so tell your congresspeople to do something. i mean, it's not enough to send your love and prayer. we do. we send our love and support and whatever else is needed to las vegas and families from all over the country and canada who had the worst night of their lives last night. you know, vegas is a funny town. it's easy to forget people live there. but they do. i mean, lots of good people. these people showed up in droves today to donate blood because it's the only thing they could do. and so they did it. but there is more that we can do, and we need to do it. and thank god for the police in las vegas who risked their lives trying to locate the man with the gun. thank god for the doctors and nurses and firefighters and paramedics who rose to the occasion as they always seem to do when we need them to. and for the concert goers themselves who helped each other, who threw their bodies on top of each other, who drove

their private cars full of people who were bleeding to the hospital. you know, don't forget them. and don't forget what's going on in puerto rico either because just because they're not the lead story today, they still need help. and if you want to help either one of those cities, puerto rico's not a city, obviously, vegas or puerto rico, a good way to do that is to give to the american red cross. there's the information right there on the screen. and we send all our love to our family and friends in las vegas and to everyone affected by this terrible event. i'm sorry for getting emotional. i'm not great with this kind of thing, but i just -- it's important, you know.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ wow, i can't believe this is your historic 30th appearance. it only seems like 28, i have to say. >> 30th. i hear adam corolla has 51. >> jimmy: he's been on 51 times. >> i'm chasing him, you know that. i'm chasing him. 21 more to catch him. >> jimmy: we can make that up by the end of the year. >> let's do it. >> jimmy: if you really want to. >> are you guys still friends? >> jimmy: of course. >> okay. >> jimmy: by the way, i saw you last at the emmys a couple weeks ago. >> yes. >> jimmy: and in fact, when i saw you, you were on stage very busy presenting the best variety

talk series award to another show, to john oliver instead of your dear friend jim. how many times have you been on john oliver's show? >> no times. when you ate the paper last year, you could have said my name and i could have gone home with an emmy. >> jimmy: really? >> nobody would have been the wiser. you chewed up the winning name. >> jimmy: i forgot about that. >> i would do that for you but it was cardboard and i couldn't swallow all that. >> jimmy: the point i'm really getting to is later that evening i went to the dinner -- there's a big dinner. they call it the governor's ball afterwards. >> yes, mm-hmm. >> jimmy: and who was at the dinner but your mom doris. >> my mama doris. yep. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and we took a picture. and who is this woman that was with your mom? she introduced me, but i forget. >> i forget her name but that's

one of my mom's oldest friends and co-workers. i hadn't seen her in 25 years, so it was a shock. >> jimmy: she brought someone she hasn't seen in 25 years. >> no, they're good friends. i haven't seen her in 25 years. ro mona. woo! i'm sorry. >> jimmy: you would have been in trouble. >> yeah. but what also shocked me was who else my mother had with her at the emmys. now, my mother has befriended a stalker of mine on facebook. no, she's a harmless stalker, but a stalker nonetheless. >> jimmy: a facebook stalker or a physical, present stalker. >> both. >> jimmy: oh. >> if you go to her facebook site, you would think that we're married by the pictures we have of she and i. >> jimmy: can we go to her facebook page? >> yes, we can. >> jimmy: i don't know how to work it. >> i knew you were going to do this. but my mother brought this woman to emmys with her. they planned vacations together.

they came to me -- it was like, me and your mama are going to jamaica together. no, i did not know that, stalker lady. >> jimmy: how did they meet in first place? >> look at that picture right there. look who else she's stalking. >> jimmy: me. >> look who else she's stalking. but hold on. look. now, if you were to go and see this lady's site and go into photos, there are like 100 pi pictures the of me and her together at hundreds of events. >> jimmy: oh, that's our producer ken crosby. >> that's the [ bleep ] that got her into the governor's ball with my mama. [ applause ] >> jimmy: let me get a little -- >> look at that. hold on. they're all hooked up. you know he likes chocolate. he gets a divorce now. i know what he was doing. i know what he was doing.

>> jimmy: wonder how hammered ken was that night? >> trust me, he probably went home with the stalker. >> jimmy: he took the picture. i said take a picture of me with anthony's mom for anthony. i want to send it to him. >> right. >> jimmy: he took the picture and then sent it to me. and today when i said, hey, yeah, are you going to show that picture you sent me? he said what picture. what are you talking about? he had no memories of that ever happening. >> but he had memories of raquel, i bet. >> maybe a little ken and raquel baby coming. >> jimmy: so was your mom friendly with your stalker before she was a stalker or did she meet her on facebook or how did that work? >> no, you know what? this woman, she's friendly, she's cool. she just appears at events. i saw her with my mother one day at an event. mom, watch out for her because i said i don't know who this lady is but she has several hundred pictures of me on facebook. it's kind of weird. the next thing i know my mother and her are hanging out at bingo

parties. i told you they're talking on going to trips to jamaica together. >> jimmy: that's crazy. >> and she shows up with her unannounced to events that i'm at. >> jimmy: i think you found the only woman who loves you more than your mother. >> oh, my god. i didn't think that was possible. >> jimmy: how old are your kids now? >> my daughter's 21, my son's 17. >> jimmy: have they met grandma's stalker yet? >> no, they have not. they have not. >> jimmy: what are they doing? your daughter's in college right now? >> a senior in college at the university of san diego. my son's a senior at sierra canyon. >> jimmy: got you. you were working when you went to howard university? >> i went to howard university and i had a job. my daughter's a sociology double major, that and ethnic studies. but she worked at a woman's shelter -- not shelter but something for women in college. >> jimmy: got you. so because you've been on the show 30 times, we sometimes have to go very, very deep research

wise. >> okay. >> jimmy: one of the things we uncovered that we hadn't previously known was that when you were in college you had kind of a relick didiculous job. >> a ridiculous job. i was the mascot for a gourmet dessert delivery company. >> jimmy: so somebody get hungry and they call you? >> they call the company and i would deliver to their offices or to their homes or whatnot. and i would sing songs. i would sing "happy birthday "happy anniversary, happy wedding, happy divorce. whatever you needed to celebrate when you called and ordered that cake or slice of cake or whatever, i brought it to you and sang the song. >> jimmy: and what did you wear for that job? >> i wore a black pair of pants, tights, i wore some bedazzled chuck taylor high tops. >> jimmy: okay. >> i wore the company's logo sweatshirt.

i wore silver gloves to match the shoes. i wore silver long ranger mask. and i had a pink cape. [ laughter ] and on the back of the cape it said, if you ever need to be saved, dial 797-crave. and my name was captain cravings. >> jimmy: captain cravings. you were kind of in the marvel superhero -- >> you are scaring the hell out of me right now. >> jimmy: we couldn't find a picture of it. so we made a picture of what that might look like. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: is that possible? what the hell is up with that hat? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't know. >> okay. >> jimmy: why did the captain have a hat like that? doesn't make sense. >> the cape wasn't that long. it just stopped at the waist. but you got the color, yeah.

captain's cravings, yeah. >> jimmy: no hat? >> no hat. and the lone ranger mask was silver and bedazzled like the michael jackson glove us have there. >> jimmy: we'll work on it. and try to get it closer, then we'll put it on the internet and tell everybody it's a real picture. all right, captain, we'll take a break. when we come back, we'll look another a new episode of "black-ish." anthony anderson is here. we'll be right back. >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by spirit airlines. less money. more go. you are whimsical, vibrant, statement making. you stand out in a crowd. and are pulled together. you follow your own lead and show your strength. always comfortable in your own skin. we see what makes you unique. so we have something for everyone, at a price that's just right for you.

that's cool. >> jimmy: did you ever have a nickname before that? anyone ever call you al? >> they called me things i can't say on television, but no. >> jimmy: that was your first nickname. you think the best player of the kids growing up. >> i wasn't the best player. i was a late -- >> jimmy: really? >> mature late, yeah. >> jimmy: until what amg did you separate yourself from the kids? >> i made the biggest jump from sophomore to junior year in high school. i thought it was because i was a football players and if you bench pressed 300 pounds you got a letterman jablgt. all i did all summer was bench press. >> jimmy: you wanted the jacket? >> i couldn't afford the jacket. >> jimmy: you got it for free if you could bench 300 pounds. >> that's an incentive program that coach warner made. the fact that i was always fairly big.

i had a pretty unique talent of having good fundamentals but then i grew up, i became stronger. and yeah, everybody else that was older was now a freshman and sophomore in college. when i looked around, i can do pretty well here. >> jimmy: how do the yankees fans treat you nowadays? are they kind to you now? >> yes, they are. they are amazing. i'm from new york. to be able to play in new york for a long time, win the world championship in 2009, it was a dream come true. new york fans have never treated me better. >> jimmy: it is true that you were a mets fan growing up? >> it is true. like you. '86 was an amazing year. keith hernandez was my favorite player of all type. a lot of people don't know this, keith is going to join us at fox. >> jimmy: he's joining the team there. >> i'm so thrilled. keith hernandez, he joined the team in '84, won the championship in '86. he was the final piece. he was the captain.

old shea stadium was right next to laguardia. the planes would fly over. i would imitate him. every time there's a plane that flew over, he would step out, take his helmet off and had a mustache. i would imitate him. i didn't have a mustache at 9. now he's on set, i have his baseball card. i don't know if i'll call him mr. hernandez or keith. >> jimmy: do you know him? is he a personal friend now? >> i've known him for almost 20 years now. i met him as a 15-year-old. he made a reassignment at our university. it was like i met god. >> jimmy: was he nice to you? >> he was so nice. >> jimmy: did you ask him for an autograph? >> i did. >> jimmy: did you get to pet his mustache? >> i tried. [ laughter ] i was so nervous. >> jimmy: you become eligible for the hall of fame in 2021, do you think that you'll get into the hall of fame? >> that's a great question. look, everyone knows that they've made some mistakes and

served the suspension and i've come back in that time and tried to do a lot of work. i turned the lens inward -- >> jimmy: that hasn't hurt you sexually at all, i'll tell you that. because i know you're -- i mean it really is all your accomplishments on the field pale in comparison to dating jennifer lopez.lopez. [ applause ] this is -- they should clear out a special wing of the hall of fame for that alone. >> i don't know what's going to happen with the hall of fame. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but i do have an opportunity to learn from those mistakes and maybe, hopefully be a hall of fame fathfather, hall of fame s hall of fame boyfriend. everything else. >> jimmy: you know what i'm saying. right, right. yeah, that's got to be really great, i would think. even just your nicknames, a-rod

and j. lo, it's like a vanity license plate come true. it really is an incredible thing. >> she's an amazing, amazing girl. >> jimmy: yeah, no kidding. [ laughter ] when your friends found out you were dating jennifer lopez, who is like the first guy -- who was most excited amongst your friends? >> honestly? >> jimmy: yeah. >> my daughters. >> jimmy: why? >> my daughters think their dad is a hero now. for the first time. no, they think they went to heaven. and now they're hanging out with jennifer backstage. they're dancing, they're singing with her. we usually call at least once a day on facetime. now they call me three, four, five times. funny because when i pick up the phone. i could be anywhere. hi, tasha, hi, ella. i can see them hi, daddy, they're looking around behind

hi, honey, how was school? >> great, dad. where is jennifer. she's working. okay, see ya. i'll take anything i can get from my girls. >> jimmy: are they impressed by your baseball career? >> not really. >> jimmy: they're not looking for you in the background. >> you're my girls. but i think jennifer's children, who are wonderful just like mine. she has 9-year-old twins max and emmie. i think they're impressed by how big i am. >> jimmy: you're a big man. you're doing a great job on fox. i'm really impressed by your broadcasting. keith hernandez is joining the team. >> yeah, frank thomas. >> jimmy: frank thomas is still there. and who else is there? >> big papi. >> jimmy: you will translate what he is saying to the english-speaking part of the audience? >> big papi's going to be

awesome. a lot of people don't that big papi and i go back 20 years. we both broke in with seattle. he's been a great player since i've known him. of course, our quarterback and captain mr. kevin burkhardt, who is fantastic. >> jimmy: the playoffs start on fs-1 thursday and you can see alex rodriguez on "shark tank" october 15th here on abc. we'll be right back with luke combs. >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert s >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live ♪ (somb♪ musi♪) ♪ (upbeat musi♪) ♪ it's here! it's here! it's here! ♪ ♪
