report. we appreciate your time. >> for all of u from hollywoodper featuring vogue, senator cory booker, and the new bachelor, peter. and now, chances are jimmy kimmel! [cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome, welcome, welcome. hi, everyone. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. welcome to los angeles, california, where the traffic today is even more terrible than the usual terrible because we have a special visitor in town. you know? we're at code orange right now, because president trump is here. it's weird to think that right now the president of the united

states is lurking just a few miles away from here in his hyperbaric tanning chamber eating all our popeye's chicken sandwiches, but he is. i saw that trump was coming to l.a. and abc was announce beiin new bachelor, for a moment i got my hopes up that they would be the same guy. trump is at a fundraiser in beverly hills and had a meet and greet in palo alto where tickets went up to $100,000. you get a round table discussion, a photo op and what they billed as premiere seating for lunch. what is premiere seating for lunch with donald trump? you get to join him in his booth at carl's jr.? trump is hoping to raise $15 million on this trip. i miss the days when a trump visit to california meant nothing more than a new episode of "the fresh prince", you know? he is not popular here, the president. he lost in l.a. by about 50

points. and it's gone down from there. if you're wondering who would host a fundraiser for him in this city, well, the answer is this guy. a billionaire, who is accused of ripping off his tenants. believe it or not, they have a lot in common. the team in our local good day l.a. headed down to see what was going on and to give angelenos a chance to welcome the president to our city. >> we asked people if they had the opportunity to speak with the president, what would they say? >> i think it's good he's coming to town. he can actually see what's going on in l.a. >> we don't need any more congestion, stay out of l.a., this isn't your town anyway. >> can we ask you -- >> i hate him. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: he hates him so much. he was almost hit by a bus. our traffic cone in chief was in new mexico last night for a rally that celebrated his

version of diversity. >> he happens to be hispanic. he happens to be hispanic, but i've never quite figured it out, because he looks more like a w.a.s.p. than i do. so i haven't figured that one out, but i tell you what, there is no one who loves this country more or hispanic more than steve cortez. >> jimmy: there's nobody that loves hispanic more. i know he doesn't speak spanish, but now he's not even speaking english. the rally wasn't all celebration and shouts out. there was substance. in fact, trump spoke very passionately about a subject that affects every one of us. >> light bulbs, right? they took away our light bulbs. >> jimmy: yeah, they heard you were going to swallow them. light bulbs. meanwhile, in washington, the president's former campaign

manager, this character, corey lewandowski testified before the house judiciary committee today. he refused to answer any questions of substance. the white house instructed him not to disclose any conversation he's had with the president, citing executive privilege, even though he's never actually worked at the white house. and also wrote two books about his work with the president, but still, he dodged and stone walled every relevant question. how these guys get away it, i have no idea. used to be when you got a subpoena from congress you had to answer their questions. who knew you could just not do that. two of the guys they subpoenaed didn't even show up. and this creep lewandowski, watch his tongue here, he may be the only species of reptile who has lips. >> and unlike hillary clinton, i don't think i ever deleted any of those.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, they're bringing a mongoose to get him out of there. this is not an impeachment proceeding. it was an impeachment investigation. which is different. the democrats still aren't fully on board with impeachment, because they know no matter what happens in the house trump will be saved by the republican senate. so a lot of them say what's the point. this is the point. a move to impeach donald trump would go on for months. this would be hours and hours of hearings and televised testimony all for our couch potato president to take in. he'll be so busy watching and tweeting about it and just maybe he'll forget all the other terrible things he wants to do. impeachment is a good way to distract donald trump with the subject he cares about most, which is donald trump. basically, our president is an unruly child throwing a tantrum while we try to eat dinner at a restaurant, and impeachment is

an ipad loaded with "paw patrol." so i say, send in ryder and his team of pups, and let's see what happens. [cheers and applause] the president, you know, he did watch lewandowski today, and i can only assume that last night he was watching this, too. >> "the bachelorette," hannah brown! >> comedian and actor, hal mitchell. >> former white house press secretary, sean spicer. >> jimmy: wow. that is a tough look to pull off, and he did it. and he did it. somehow "dancing with the stars" found a way to humiliate sean spicer more than the president of the united states. put that outfit back up there. how does this happen? it's like the assistant manager at margaritaville. i think maybe the producers know he's not going to last long. so they said let's put him in

the dumbest costume we have now. and it only got better from there. spicer did a salsa last night. . ♪ ♪ every boy and every girl ♪ when you're feelin' ♪ sad and alone ♪ we will take you where you gotta go ♪ ♪ everything is free ♪ all you need is ♪ positivity >> jimmy: you know, i don't say this lightly, but i think that's the worst thing he's ever done. i'm not sure if that technically counts as dancing, but this is how it went over with the ann. >> four. >> lynn goodman. >> four. >> bruno. >> four. >> jimmy: that's right, he got 12 out of 30, record ithe history of

danszing widans "dancing with the stars." that's what we had on abc last night. tonight we had the three-hour season finale of "bachelor in paradise." this, the finale started tonight with each couple deciding whether or not they want to spend the night in the fantasy suites, and surprise, surprise, almost all of them did want to spend the night. i think sometimes we forget there's a show on abc that's basically a televised brothel. it's a random hump fest. the big news was the new bachelor. they announced that the new bachelor is peter from "the bachelorette" last season. he's best known for doing it in a wind mill a few times. peter is also a pilot and looking for love. you know, it's hard for pilots to find love. but he can't begin this amazing journey until he's been sworn in, and there's only one person licensed by the state of california to do that, and that person happens to be me. so with that said, i'd like you to please welcome the bachelor

elect, peter! come oeter? first of, want to say, i think they made a very good choice with you. >> thank you, thank you. >> jimmy: but you know we have to go through a process before it will begin officially. >> we got to make it official. let's go. >> jimmy: please place your right hand on this "people" magazine. >> i'm ready. >> jimmy: do you peter agree to date 25 women simultaneously as millions of americans watch and judge your every move. >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise not to give your first impression rose to a woman dressed at an animal. >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise not to get choked up when you have to make choice between two dental hygienists? >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise to stare wistfully at the sky? >> i do.

>> jimmy: do you promise to keep the crazy girls on the show for at least four weeks even though you have no intention of marrying her? >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise to make love in a wind mill, should you happen upon one? >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise to make love on a solar panel just to keep that renewable energy thing going. >> i do. of course. >> jimmy: do you prom toise to in the middle of episode five or six. >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise to be madly in love with two women three hours before you propose to one of them. >> i do. >> jimmy: do you promise to narrow it down to the pretty one and the intelligent one who's also pretty but maybe not as pretty and get everyone's hopes up that maybe this time you will pick the interesting one only to pick the pretty one in the end. >> i do. >> jimmy: so help you god? >> so help me god. >> jimmy: all right, by the power vested in me by the american broadcasting company i

spending all the time in the studio, wanting to get home. and you're always matt damon when you come home as late as this tv show comes on. >> jimmy: oh, put me on all of your albums, it makes me cool, i went around and told everybody about it. everyone's like, oh, yeah, great. you were supposed to be on tour right now, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: but your daughter was born. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and you decided -- >> to take paternity leave. >> jimmy: do you have to put in a request with yourself? how does that go? >> yeah, i mean, i guess the fans are kind of my bosses. you got to let them know. >> jimmy: you let them know, what, four days in advance, right? >> yeah, exactly, the monday before the first show i made the decision. but yeah, i already have a daughter, kinsley, she just turned 4 yesterday. >> jimmy: she's very cute by the way. >> thanks, man.

[ applause ] >> yeah. it was a group decision. so, yeah, she was thrilled when

it went down that way. >> jimmy: i would think so, yeah. it's not just double when you have two kids, it's exponential, isn't it? >> yeah, it's much, much, much harder. >> jimmy: yeah. you change diapers? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you do feedings? all that stuff? >> people make the diaper part seem so tough. i would much rather do diapers if i didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to be honest with you. >> jimmy: if you could make the choice between those two things. so you're very involved. it's not one of those things like hey, let's bring in the nanny, i'm headed out on the road. >> last time i went to l.a. i brought my daughter. she was super cool. she didn't act a fool. which is great. that's sayin' a lot. but when we had to fly back home i realized how tough it is traveling with your child. she wasn't even awake, it's just like, she's heavy. i was just sitting awake the whole time, just kind of nodding off and having to wake back up,

itself, not the lyrics. >> exactly. my dad, since i was really young, my dad like helped me start my whole rapping thing. that's why i'm not independent now. my dad started my tee shirt business, my dad got like, rented out reggie's rock club in chicago, which is [ bleep ]. it's a bad club in chicago. sorry, live. but it's a, he set me up in a lot of ways and just gave me the confidence to do it. so it's cool that he was actually on the track when we made the album.

appliance. >> yeah, no. we apply it. and at this wedding, my cousin, b-mac, he, he hit the percolator, which is the dance i just showed to the whole nation. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> and he was hittin' it so furiously, that, that it was clear to me that like this was a real moment that a lot of people don't necessarily get to see every day. and i wanted to get that feel. because he was very, very happy, and it wasn't his wedding. like i said, this was my cousin, but he had this feeling of like excitement for me that just like, it was like a moment that i'll never forget. >> jimmy: he was percolating. and it boile >> and made this happen. >> jimmy: so that's what happened, your kicousin doing t percolator. and we do one to "cool it." and we go cool it now. it's a dance i made up.

and it's become a family tradition. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you posted something about you were at the laugh factory, which is a comedy club. and your wife, did she encourage you or push you to get on stage? >> she, just a fun fact, this was in chicago. and i actually used to spend a little time at this little improv spot called thunder dome in chicago. so i like the comedy scene. i like to hang out. i went to the club, and i got wasted. and i wouldn't say that my girl encouraged me to go on stage, but i would say she let me. she gave up, because i was really bent on getting on stage that night. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> i just felt like it was my time, and so i got up there. >> jimmy: no material? you have any jokes in mind? >> yeah, like i said, i believe one day i'll be a world famous

comedian. >> jimmy: i see. you've been percolating. >> i've been doing a great job here, too. so i'm a comedic guy. i got on stage and had my jokes about stupid stuff. it was really, really corny stuff. >> jimmy: do you remember any of those jokes? >> i have a joke about the, the barbecue that everybody talks about or the cookout. >> jimmy: okay. >> have you ever heard about the cookout? >> jimmy: that, i know. >> white people do anything that's slightly considered black, and they get invited to the cookout. and i have like this long bit where i go into things that you'll see at the cookout, but you'll see it if you ever come catch my 20-minute set at the laugh factory in chicago. >> jimmy: you're doing it. >> yeah, i'm going to make a whole thing. it might be called the cookout, who knows. >> jimmy: well, we're going to hear. so you've got en vogue here tonight. >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's pretty great. this is one of those things where i like them, i'm going to call them and ask them to be part of my thing.

>> at my wedding, there was a lot of dancing going on. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> and a lot of just like legendary music being played. when it's your wedding day you have to have the right songs playing. >> jimmy: the right mix, yeah. >> and of course en vogue was in there. >> jimmy: which en vogue song did you -- "never gonna get it". >> never gonna get it, which doesn't make sense, because i definitely got t yit. you just want to dance hard. >> jimmy: we're going to be dancing and percolating and all that stuff a little later on tonight. this is the big day. we'll be right back with cory booker. ♪ . i'm out of here. alright. fellas. ♪ hello, are you the locksmith? yes i am. come on in. fellas. ♪ to salvage the lock.

was to see lionel richie. >> jimmy: how old were you. >> i was a sophomore in high school. >> jimmy: i was a sophomore in high school and i went with my mother because she was the only one who would go with me. >> i'm sorry. there's therapy for that. but my parents were really interested in exposing me as much as i could growing up to the best of black culture and i still remember seeing "the wiz" for the first time. it blew me away. songs are still a part of the sound track of my life. but my parents also took may e see things in retrospect probably -- >> jimmy: like what? >> richard pryor. >> jimmy: when is this? >> the early '80s. >> jimmy: you went to a richard pryor, like a real show. >> my father was a trail blazer. both my parents were, my father was the first african-american hired by ibm in the entire

washington, d.c. area as a salesman. i would see him come home at night from work and just need to unwind. so he would put on jazz, he would put on gospel, but he'd also play great comedians, red fox and richard pryor. >> jimmy: those red fox albums are absolutely filthy. and would you listen to that. >> they had a way of talking about race, about reality and humor can heal. it can challenge you. it can take things and turn them upside down and expose new perspectives and understanding. so my brother and i used to sneak into the corner and listen to the album, not letting my dad know we were listening. >> jimmy: at the debate the other night you said dang-nabbit twice, and apparently, richard pryor didn't sink in. even joe biden, we're like this guy's old. >> i was like the opposite of my father. my father loved to drink and

party and was, and i was this boring, straight-laced sort of. >> jimmy: you rebelled. >> i rebelled in the opposite of my dad. as a football player, i was a high school all-american football player. the older i get the better i was of course. i would get teased by my teammates that i would knock the snot out of somebody and between the whistles i would help them up. >> jimmy: that was nice. >> i was taught, you play hard, but you never lose that spirit of kindness. >> jimmy: concussions, okay, profanities not. >> by the rules. >> jimmy: speaking of the rules and knocking the snot out of people. the debate the other night. i think was a good debate. i think people talked about real things. >> i think abc did a phenomenal job. they didn't get a lot of credit for how they handled it. they tried to explore ideas. >> jimmy: i was curious and wondering this when i was

watching. what goes on during the commercial breaks? do you guys talk to each other? is everyone racing to the bathroom? what happens? >> i for the first fintime had race to the bathroom. i knocked castro over. >> jimmy: and then will you be up at the urinal with like, next to beto or something? >> well, first of all, when bernie goes to the bathroom, nobody goes. [ laughter ] >> cory, wait your turn! >> jimmy: and then, is it, do you talk afterwards? is there a discussion how it went? >> i wish america could see that. we, all of us democrats know that the differences between us are small compared to the gulf between us and the person that's notice white hous in the white house. there's a collegiately. and those on the stage, kamala,

castro's a dear friend. differences matter in this debate, but at the same time, we all feel that this is a moral moment in our country. >> jimmy: are feelings ever hurt afterwards? after a debate? you get the sense? especially between people who are colleagues? >> you have to ask other people, for me, not at all. honestly, you're, i came up through the toughest politics you can imagine. it was a, i'd beat a political machine. >> jimmy: new jersey. >> new jersey. machine politics. the documentary i mentioned called "street fight" which captured the thuggery, the violence. i had tires on my car slashed. windows smashed. my phones were tapped at one point. i came up where it was dangerous, physically. >> jimmy: you live in a humble neighborhood, currently. in newark. >> i am where i am today, because after my parents in 1969, literally being denied the ability to buy a house in the community i grew up in, we had

to get a white couple to pose as us. i was raised by these parents who were unflinching, unequivocal about talking about the race and whiteness. they always showed that this is not what defines us. what defines us is not hate and bigotry, it's how we choose to respond to it. my parents raised me to be someone who recognizes that everything that i have was paid for by folks who serves, who sacrificed, who were there. and that should be your career. so the first chance i got in law school, i said i'm going to find the toughest neighborhood i can find in new jersey and begin as a tenants rights organizer. >> jimmy: is it true that the primary reason you're running for president is to give you an excuse to move out of newark? [ laughter ]

>> now i feel like knockin' the snot out of you, because. [ applause ] >> jimmy: please don't. >> i have, i have an incredible city. and we are, we have this defiance about us, a defiant love for our community. we're showing america, now we have the number one school system in america, high-poverty, high performance, showing this country, no matter what zip code you're born into, every kid if they have a great public school can thrive. we took a city that for 60 years was losing its tax base and turned it around. not only the first time in 60 years, we're growing in population. more people are moving back. we're setting examples, left and right. and part of the reason i got propelled to the senate is new jersians recognized, look at newark, it's becoming an engine of economic opportunity. i'm running for president. i'm proud to be the only one in the senate that lives in a black and brown, low-income community,

below the poverty line. we've done things together, created super markets in food deserts. new houses, new schools. there's no place in america where the american dream can't thrive. and i'm running for president, yeah, temporarily, i'll go to live in public housing in d.c. >> jimmy: and then you'll go back. >> then i'll go back to my community. >> jimmy: i want to help you out. because i feel like i have a gift, and that gift is catchphrases, so i've come up with some merchandise for you. >> i'm afraid. >> jimmy: don't be afraid. >> my staff has already put vote dag-nabbit. >> jimmy: what about no guts, no cory. keep calm and corey on. this is good for lawns. finding cory. [ applause ] don't be a dori, vote for cory. >> that one, that one. >> jimmy: ooh, this is a good

one. cory, cory, hallelujah. >> i like that. >> jimmy: you know, a guy your age, i think you're really going to like this. the never ending cory. >> yeah, that one. >> jimmy: tuesdays with cory. ooh, cory booker. he won't spend his whole presidency tweeting lies from the toilet. and finally, this is the one i think really, this is the one i think you should go with. for r good enough for you. [cheers and applause] >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: senator cory booker, everyone. he's running for president. we'll be right back wi >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel g-cl. mercedes benz. the best or nothing.

mercedes benz. the best or nothing. >> jimmy: i'd like to thank senator cory booker and bachelor peter weber. apologies to matt damon.
