stay safe tomorrow. appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm ama daetz. thanks for being here. a >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- chloë grace moretz, owner of the l.a. clippers, steve ballmer, and music from lauren daigle. and now, good news, jimmy kimmel! [cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you, thank you. appreciate it. welcome. very nice. thank you. hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching, thank you for coming. thank you for everything. very kind. thank you for joining us on a, on a day when we are all, everyone in our country, year' all under the careful watch of mike pence today, because the

president is out of the united states. donald trump is almost 8,000 miles away from us. [cheers and applause] he arrived in vietnam this morning, reporting for duty only about 50 years late. he's in hanoi. they are set to meet for a small dinner. i don't believe it. neither one of those two has ever eaten a small dinner. here we see kim jong un arriving in hanoi, which, as usual is surrounded by his joggers. can somebody get them some rollerblades? he's a smoker. there you see him puffing away. i like that even one of the most

ruthless dictators in the world has to go out on the patio to smoke. and there he is enjoying a little bit of sunshine and a cigarette. there's no question about it, the man is adorable. meanwhile, trump is chumming it up with his little pal, michael cohen arrived for day one of a three-day confessional before congress. he testified before the senate intelligence committee for more than nine hours. tomorrow is the televised portion of the event. he will appear before the house oversight committee where he is expected to detail his allegation against the president, and supposedly, he has proof to back it up. the white house has been trying very much to discredit him. sarah appleby sanders said it is pathetic to see him given an opportunity to spread his lies. trump's sycophants in congress are going after him, too.

congressman matt gaetz, who is a big trump supporter, he tweeted, hey, michael cohen, do your wife and father-in-law know about your girlfriends? maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. i wonder if she'll remain faithful while you're in prison. she's about to learn a lot. many people think it's a threat, witness tampering from a man whose bio says he's a man going places. he pulled quotes, calling him trump's best defender. the trumpiest. the tweet is quite felopossibly felony. by the time trump goes to prison, he's going to have all his friends and family with him

too. the president will still in be in vietnam during michael cohen's testimony. but he's reportedly planning to pull an all night nter in his h room to watch the testimony. the testimony starts at 10:00 p.m. that should put him in the right mood to talk denuclearization. i would, by the way, i have to say -- [ applause ] i know it's not something that would ever happen, but i would love to watch that testimony with him. wouldn't that be the best? wouldn't that be fun? maybe he wants kim jong un to bomb washington while he's out of town. maybe he's planning to move to north korea, i don't know. i'm looking forward to this testimony. because when michael cohen opens his mouth, it's nothing short of a comedy delight. >> the disgusting, liberal, mainstream media have attempted to label mr. donald trump a racist, a

you use teleprompters because it keeps you on your message. >> he's lied for so long, why should we believe him now? >> lied about what? >> you pleaded guilty to lying to congress. >> yes. >> it's inaccurate. >> but you guys are down. >> says who? >> polls. most of them. >> says who? >> all of them? >> says who? >> polls. i just told you. i answered your question. >> okay. which polls? >> all of them. >> okay. >> jimmy: this is going to be great tomorrow. i will be up at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning right in front of c-span. this is another shot to the gut for trump. the house voted to block the president's emergency declaration, because it doesn't

meet the standard of being an emergency situation. it could be rejected by republicans in the senate, which would be a huge embarrassment for trump, if he was capable of feeling shame, which he is not. with all this going on, the trump family is determined to carry on with business as usual. ivanka made an incredible statement that makes you wonder if they have any connection to reality at all. >> you've got people who will see that offer. here's the green new deal, here's the fwaurn tee guarantee. what will you say to those people? >> i don't think most americans in their heart want to be given something. i've spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last four years. people want to work for what they get. >> all right. that's nice. they're close. it's a close family. and it's true. people do, they don't want to be

given anything. ivanka had to sell shoes for years before she got into the white house. are you up to date on masterbate gate? you'll be happy to know that robert kraft was charged yesterday with two counts of soliciting sex. he allegedly visited the orchids of asia in jupiter, florida for sexual acts to be performed on his body, his beautiful body. the incidents are reported to have been caught on hidden camera, which you know is the patriots' way. [ applause ] police say that robert kraft, according to police visited the spa on the afternoon of january 19th and again the morning of january 20th which i can only assume he loves their cucumber water. they have vid vid vid vid vid vd

two women. he gave each 100 dollars and hugged them and off he drove in a white bentley, very low-key. then the cops pulled the bentley over in a traffic stop and confirmed his id, but it didn't stop him from coming back the next dac next day, the morning of the game, they have video of him returning to the spa where he again undressed and lay face up on a massage table. once again, a woman began manipulating and put her head down in a place you don't want to know. in after a few minutes she cleaned him. he gave her some money. he left the place at 11:13 a.m. so

it was 14 minutes from beginning to happy end. [ applause ] he's hope being ing to get his n do to 11 minutes before the combines. i wish people went that quickly when i'm behind them at the atm. under florida law, it is punishable by up to a year in jail, a fine and community service. i had no idea florida had laws in the first place. that's bad news for robert kraft. the massage place where this went down has now become a tourist destination. people have been taking selfies in front of it, particularly in giants apparel. we have a jets fan here. and not to be, a completely naked man who was not charged for taking off his clothes and

offered no particular team preference. good times. always something good going on. back to north korea. you know, the president, this north korea trip, he is very eager to make a deal with kim jong un, and we decided to have some fun with that. we went out on the street today and asked people what they thought about trump's announcement that he decided to make north korea our 51st state. of course that didn't happen yet, but did that stop people from now believing it is part of the united states? there wouldn't be much of a show if they hadn't. let's find out in tonight's north korea edition of lie witness news. >> hugh ow do you feel about thg announcement that north korea will be join being the united states at 51st state. were you excited when you heard that news? >> um, not really, i mean kind of but not really. >> what wasn't exciting about

it? >> well, the fact that it's north korea, that sounds bad, but it's right next to south korea, south korea's not the great east, s greatest, so, you know. >> did that make you angry when you saw president trump tear up that american flag? >> yes. total disrespect. >> who were you watching it with? >> my little brother. >> what did he say? >> not happy as well. >> what was in your mind when you saw trump and kim jong un do that choreographed dance on the big piano? >> i was crying i was laughing so hard. i was like, look at these two old guys dancing, stop. >> describe the way they danced. >> they looked robotic. >> did you get emotional seeing such an event happen? a 51st state finally add? >> no, i didn't get emotional. just kind of in surprise. >> who were you watching it with? >> oh, i was watching it alone. >> why do you think there were so many feral stray cats at the announcement. >> i want to say it was a

subliminal message. >> how do you feel about this morning's historic announcement that north korea will be joining the united states as a 51st state? are you excited? or to you have reservations? >> not really. i'm glad they're working together. we finally have a president that is working to settle the stuff in north korea. >> a lot of people are saying they were moved by president trump presenting kim jong un with a baby bald eagle. were you moved when you saw the president give the bald eagle? >> yes, yes. it's the symbol of our country. it's like the american flag. >> where did you watch the announcement? >> where we're staying at the ab and b. >> who were you watching it with? >> my husband and two daughters. >> were you proud that he was able to sing the national anthem in perfect korean? >> that means a lot that he's willing to work with other countries and laearn their

language enough that we can have peace with them. >> do you think it was fair that president trump traded one of the dakotas fire for north north korea? >> no. not really. >> how come? >> because it's way on the other side of the world. and it's not really a rt behalf t well, it is now. >> jimmy: tonight on the show, music from lauren daigle. steve ballmer is here. and we'll be right back with chloë grace moretz.

[ applause ] and you also started a very interesting website. tell us about this website and why you started it. >> yeah. it's called usa facts.org. when i retired about five years ago now my wife and i focussed philanthropistically on kids born in the united states who might not have any shot at the american dream. we having a discussion and got me interested in how much money gets transferred from more affluent people and invested in opportunity for less-fortunate kids. i went looking all over the place for numbers. couldn't find any, and i said hey, look, i'm going to try to really organize this stuff. then, when we finally released, you know, it's fake news, alternate fact time.

president madison once said in an informed government we need an informed population or at least the ability to get the information, otherwise it's a prologue to a farce or tragedy. now there's some of that you might resonate with in today's environment. >> jimmy: sure, yeah. >> but the numbers aren't partisan. they just say what they say. >> jimmy: unless somebody says they're partisan, and then a lot of people believe they are partisan partisan, right? >> i have a simple view. our government produces numbers. i'm not talking about random numbers, the ones presented by the government. they're either good and somebody stands up and salutes them or somebody needs to fix them.anths the person who runs the executive branch of government.[ applause ] i think we have smart, competent people trying to produce the best numbers they can, whether

it's how much the government brings in, how much they spend. politician run around and say hey, look, our infrastructure's in terrible state. dems, rs, everybody yells about it. if you look at the numbers, they don't say that. the percentage of bridges that are structurally deficient has come down to today. >> jimmy: i would love to see you in the locker room giving a speech. >> 8.8! >> jimmy: it's called usa facts.org. and the clippers most the knicks on sunday afternoon. steve ballmer, everybody! and we'll return with music from lauren daigle. >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by mercedes-be the best or nothing.
