one and only terry bradshaw. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, terry bradshaw, shannon purser, this week in unnecessary censorship, and music from dreamers. and now, going forward, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi there. very nice. thank you, i appreciate it. welcome, welcome. i'm jimmy, i am the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. very kind, thanks for joining us on a friday night. we don't even think of going out. this is the night to stay up and watch television.

just like the president does all day. you know, the president spent -- actually, he got out today. he spent his day in few sals, south dakota, draining the swamp, no doubt. while all manner of hell continues to break loose back in washington, d.c. but it was good for him, he needed to get out of the office. he was in billings, montana, last night with the latest stop on his violent torpedo of untruth tour. [ laughter ] while there he continued to try to discredit the savage anonymous op-ed that was written by a member of his own administration and published in "the new york times." someone on the inside, who it was he still doesn't know, but it would appear based on some of the things he said in his speech that he is closing in. >> the latest active resistance is the op-ed published in the failing "new york times" by an an-non-mus -- really an anonymous gutless coward.

he was -- nobody knows who the hell he is or she, they put he, probably that's a disguise that means she -- >> jimmy: yes, excellent thinking, detective. [ laughter ] the anoanoanoanoanoanoanoanoano that again. >> jimmy: he pronounces it the same way i pronounce "restaurant." very carefully but comes out screwed up. trump is going nuts trying to figure out who wrote this op-ed. could it be vice president mike pence, aka veep-throat? or maybe dr. ben carson, slope-throat? we don't know. neither does he. he also pushed back on allegations he lacks the mental fitness to be president. he insisted if he wasn't mentally fit he wouldn't be able to give these 90-minute-long rally speeches without using notes. that's not because he's mentally fit, that's because he doesn't know how to read notes.

[ laughter ] there are a lot of people who can ramble incoherently for an hour and a half, they're called my mom. [ laughter ] that doesn't mean me should be president. trump even bragged about his kim with kim jong-un last night. which is so crazy. i think we forget how crazy it is that he's in front of a crowd in montana talking about his buddy, kim jong-un, and people are cheering this. he said, i respect him and he respects me. i only wish aretha franklin were around to sing about this. [ laughter ] there's so much respect happening. no trump rally would be complete without him comparing himself to abraham lincoln. >> you know what, abraham lincoln made the gettysburg address speech, the great speech. did you know he was ridiculed, th way.r, by [ laughter ] he was not ridiculed. in fact, kellyanne conway's husband, who to me might be the most interesting man in the world, immediately tweeted evidence that he was wrong about that.

that he was not ridiculed. but the truth isn't necessarily the truth. so go on. >> 50 years after his death, they said it may have been the greatest speech ever made in america. pretty good. pretty good. have a feeling that's going to happen with us. >> jimmy: really? because i have a feeling it isn't. [ laughter ] he thinks he's lincoln. meanwhile this guy won't even free melania. senator bernie sanders today strongly rejected the comparison. he said president trump, i knew abraham lincoln. [ laughter ] i babysat abraham lincoln. and you, sir, are no abraham lincoln. although i do think this is interesting. at first i thought, that's a ridiculous comparison. i went back, i googled the gettysburg address. did you know they have a short film of that speech? somehow they got a film, before film was even invented, it's an

amazing thing. i watched it this morning. i was surprised to learn maybe trump isn't so far off. >> fourscore and seven years ago, that's when this country was really fantastic. that i can tell you. now we've got all these irishmen and eye-talians sneaking across the ocean and stealing our jobs. eating our mutton. and it is a bigly problem, believe me. huge. and my haters don't even have the courage to criticize me to my face. they prefer to remain anon -- anonymous -- i need this word like i need anyway, let's make america great again. you're all mentally retarded.

>> jimmy: maybe they aren't so dissimilar. [ applause ] daniel day lewis is amazing, isn't he? [ laughter ] the president said many lively things last night in montana. there was a lot to digest. to do that we slowed him down to half speed for tonight's tough talk edition of "drunk donald trump." [ tape playing very slowly ] >> if i was tough, if i was you're never going to do this again, there will be no more of this and no more of that, and stared them right in the face and then started boxing. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: speaking of boxing. there's a new nugget from the forthcoming book by pulitzer prize-winning journalist bob woodward. as you know there have been a

lot of reports of infighting between members of the trump administration. what we didn't know is it almost got to the point of actual fighting. according to the book, in november chief of staff john kelly almost got in a fistfight with an i.c.e. official trump invited to the white house. there was some i.c.e. union leader on tv complaining trump hadn't bothered to meet with him so trump invited the guy to the white house without telling kelly. john kelly walks into the oval office, he doesn't like this guy. he finds the two of them sitting alone, he says i can't believe you'd let some f'ing guy like this into the oval office. which got awkward because trump didn't know which f'ing guy he was talking about, him or the -- but this has been a rough week for john kelly. at this point r. kelly has a better chance of being chief of staff by the end of the year. [ laughter ] cnn publish adler reference in woodward's book. woodward tells a story how former trump adviser economic adviser gary cohn stole a letter off the president's desk so he wouldn't see it and sign it. he apparently had to act fast

because trump was about to send the u.s. treasury to a nigerian prince. [ laughter ] so the trump administration denied that ever happened, that the letter was even on trump's desk. but the forensics experts dusted the envelope and found five tiny fingerprints, each one coated with a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices. [ laughter ] it's easy to steal -- it doesn't take a master thief to steal something off donald trump's desk. he's got his face glues to fox news all day. when hannity's on, you could have sex on his desk, he wouldn't know it. this is something that should be of concern to every american no matter what your politics are. over the past few days, a peas rhea in new york has been getting a lot of attention online for baking and selling this. this is a mustard pizza. they put mustard on it, they put corned beef on it. sad reaction. then sauerkraut. and finally cheddar cheese all over the top of it. turns out this was invented in

trenton, new jersey, about 30 years ago. mustard pizza. these guys in new york took that original idea and made it, i don't know, worse, i guess. [ laughter ] i want to be fair. i always like to be fair, especially when it comes to pizza. i don't like to judge a book by its disgusting cover. we called these guys and we asked them to bring, to make and bring a mustard pizza to the show. and here they are now. please welcome francis garcia and his cousin sal. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> somebody called for a mustard pizza in new york? >> jimmy: this is a full-sized pizza? >> the whole pizza, you get four corners, we cut it into four corners, smells delicious. >> jimmy: it smells good, i admit that off the bat. >> you like mustard? >> love mustard, brown mustard. >> when we were kids we didn't have a lot of money, mom made

>> all right, let's do it. >> jimmy: you just bite right into it? >> bite right in. you've got to muster up the mustard. eat it. >> does it cut the mustard? i got a lot of bad jokes. >> jimmy: here's what i'm going to say. it's really good, first of all. >> it is good. it's delicious. >> jimmy: this is delicious. [ cheers and applause ] >> sal: i think -- i don't like it very much. [ laughter ] it's something that might be up our announcer dicky's alley. >> i only like my cousin sal. >> that wasn't me. >> jimmy: dicky's mad. i do like it. >> you throwing that at me? >> jimmy: no, i'm not going to. that's sal's business. it's not really pizza. it's pizza in the same way like what a muffin is to a cupcake. like it's different.

serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems, kidney failure, and bone problems, which may lead to fractures. rare, life-threatening side effects include a build-up of lactic acid and liver problems. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney, bone, or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking truvada without talking to your doctor. common side effects include stomach pain, headache, and weight loss. ask your doctor about your risk of getting hiv and if truvada for prep may be right for you. i wanted to do more. that's why i'm on that pill. truvada for prep. directv gives you more for your thing. if you've been waiting for a sign to quit cable, then here's some signs. ♪ quit cable it came from the toaster. ♪ quit cable uh... ♪ quit cable now you can quit cable. switch to directv for $35 per month.
