it's settled. cyber trucks >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jim kmel live." tonight -- 6-time grammy nominee, billie eilish. from "21 bridges", taylor kitsch. this week in unnecessary censorship. and music from jessie reyez. and now, simply put, jimmy kimmel. [cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: i'm jimmy. um a i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. thank you for responding to my subpoena. there's a whole lot to get to today. but before we dive into the impeachment proceedings, i'd like to show a video that i think will give a pretty good

idea of how well the president's day went. >> they exemplify the genius and creativity of our exceptional nation. ♪ >> i want to hear that whole song, but i don't have time. maybe we got to get it movin' a little bit, but what a great movie. >> jimmy: he was trying to give out medals for the international arts. that was the best thing that happened to him today. on the final day of public testimony in the house, trump's former top adviser on russia, a very sharp woman, dr. fiona hill sat down and laid absolute waste to both the president and the boot lickers who made the unfortunate decision to do his bidding today. she directly called out

republicans for spreading what she calls the fictional narrative that suggests ukraine meddled in our election in 2016, because they didn't. the russians did. republicans stopped asking her questions, you know, i think i'm going to use this time to hear from myself. and they talked. she was so thorough, trump doesn't have to go back for part two of his annual physical. we also heard from a gentleman named david holmes of the u.s. embassy in ukraine. he is the guy who overheard trump on that phone call with ambassador gordon sondland. the reason he heard it because the president's volume knob was turned up to 11 that day. it was not on speakerphone. i could hear the president's voice through the earpiece of the phone. the president's voice was loud and recognizable. and ambassador sondland held the phone away from his ear for a period of time, presumably

baufls the volu because of the volume. >> jimmy: the human voice resonates from inside a tanning bid. the president wrote, i've been watching people making phone calls my entire life. my hearing is and has been great. never passes an opportunity to brag. never have i been watching a person making a call, which was not on speaker fon aphone and b able to hear or understand a conversation. i've even tried, but to no avail. try it live. okay. give us your phone number and we'll try it. this is a man who holds press conferences over running helicopters. i think you can hear him over a phone receiver. if his best defense to impeachment is "i'm not loud", he's going to be in prison by tuesday. holmes said the reason he remembered this call so vividly is he never saw an ambassador speak to the president of the united states on a cell phone in a restaurant nor a president being so interested in a$ap

rocky. >> the rapper was kind of f-ed there and should have pled guilty. he recommended that the president wait until after the sentencing or will only make it worse and added that the president should let him get sentenced, play the racism card, give him a ticker tape when he comes home. the ambassador told the president that sweden, quote, should have released him on your word, but can you till tyou can kardashians that you tried. >> jimmy: our president cares more about the kardashians than the ukrainians. the only one who wasn't involved is ben carson, and that as just because he's been asleep for the last three years. everybody knew about it. but these republicans doesn't se seem to care. the animosity is at an all-time high. watching adam schiff and devin

nunes trade jabs is like divorced parents giving separate toasts at your wedding. it's uncomfortable. the big question we still don't have an answer on, is jim jordan on methamphetamine? this jim jordan f he was a character in a movie, you'd go, eh, too much. he's kind of like the hulk. instead of a monster, he turns into a big white douche bag. republicans love him. i doesn't seem he doesn't seem to own a coat. >> they do a two year, $40 million. >> 19-lawyer investigation and guess what. guess what, guess what, guess what? >> i'm sorry, is there a question there? >> there was. >> jimmy: just to recap, now that we have the whole story, if you haven't been following, this is what happened. donald trump wanted this thing about joe biden's son to be like

the 2020 version of hillary's e-mails. so he sent rudy giuliani who knew some guys who knew some other guys to go to ukraine to dig that dirt and plant those seeds. then he sent his hotel buddy, gordon sondland, who wasn't even involved with the ukraine, the ambassador of the eu he told him to get together with rudy to put the screws to the ukrainian president. trump knew he had zelinsky over a barrel and was like eh, nice democracy you've got there, shame if something were to happen to it. so giuliani and sondland let the ukrainians know that they had to announce an investigation publicly into the bidens. now they didn't actually have to do the investigation. that's how much mr. crime-fighter cares about corruption. they just had to announce it so his trolls could paste that all over facebook and fox news. that was the plan. but there's a problem. marie yovanovitch wasn't on

board with it so rudy giuliani and his goons moved on her like a vitch. unfortunately for them, just as they were about to get the goods, just as zelinsky was about to give in and announce this imaginary investigation this whole story came out, the whistle blew, so trump quickly released the aid and said i want no quid pro quo and they all crossed their fingers and hopes no one mentions it again, and they all would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the whistle-blower and the meddling officials. that's what happened. the question going forward, for those congress people who support him is, are you a republican? or are you an american. and i guess we're going to find out pretty soon, hopefully. the president continues to climm that the call was perfect, nothing wrong. but he's been watching the hearings, and it's pretty clear that the testimony is starting to take a toll.

♪ >> i then heard president trump ask, so he's going to do the investigation. ambassador sondland replied that he's going to do it. president zelinsky will do anything he asks him to do. even though i did not take notes of the statements -- >> read the transcript! ♪ >> jimmy: probably cover that up with a poster. you know, all the cable news networks have been covering, carrying these hearings live, but maybe the most lively moment of all of them came from c-span. >> let's see if we can get one more call. we'll go to monty. monty, are you there? >> howdy, i want to apologize first and foremost for all the morons on the calls earlier especially from alabama. secondly, i want to say impeach the [ bleep ], have a great day. >> thanks, monty, in florida.

that's it for phone calls right now. >> jimmy: that should be it for the phone calls forever. meanwhile, did you watch the democrats' debate last night? no. nobody did. it was the lowest-rated of all so far. joe biden didn't gudo himself a favors. i referred to carol moseley-braun as the only african american woman in the senate, as opposed to kamala harris. and this wasn't too good, either. >> no man has a right to raise the hand to a woman in anger, or than in self-defense, and that's rarely ever occurs. so we have to just change the culture, period. and keep punching at it and punching at it and punching at it. >> jimmy: well, that, that's the thing about joe biden. he's not afraid to say the wrong thing. on the other hand of the age spectrum, bulillie eilish is he with us.

[cheers and applause] a very popular and super talented kichltd h talented kid. her album is called "when we all fall asleep where do we go." which is an interesting question. when you fall asleep, guillermo, where do you go? >> to beyonce's house. >> jimmy: i hope jay z isn't home. i would love to hear an answer to it. billy took some time to ask the only group of people who might have the imagination to answer that question. >> all right, you're going to answer a kwerks ready? when we fall asleep, where do you think we go? >> well, you could pretty much go anywhere. >> like where? >> like the desert. like india. >> you could go to india. >> like the west times. or the mummy times.

or dance hall times. or prehistoric times. >> where do you think your parents go when they fall asleep? >> they just stay in their bed, and sometimes when they just want to take off their pajamas shirt and go ah. >> okay. okay. so when your parents get in their bed, they take off their pajamas shirts. >> sometimes. >> sometimes. what's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you in a dream? >> zombies attack me. >> zombies? >> yes. >> did they get to you? >> no. >> so you fought them off? >> yes. >> damn. how did you fight them? >> i kicked their butts. >> you kicked their butts, literally, you went boom into their butts? did you knock them over? >> yeah. >> dang. >> what do you do at night before bedtime? >> i pray. >> you pray? >> yeah. >> what's the prayer?

house that you grew up in? >> yeah. >> jimmy: and your brother lives with you? or no. >> he did until like the iend o last yearish. but he still comes back and like -- >> jimmy: laundry? that always brings them home. >> you do laundry at your parents' house? >> jimmy: i have older children. they don't really do laundry, but i assume if they ever clean their clothes they would come right to my house. >> wow. >> jimmy: as far as these nominations, is this, just, are you used to this by now? or do you stop and go, wow, this is weird? >> i mean, the grammys is the grammys, so as cool as everything else is, it's the grammys. i've watched that every single year my entire life, like judging all the girls' ugly-ass dresses. every year my family and me would all sit in the room and watch the grammys.

we never missed it. the fact that i'm the same little girl watching it in my living room, and i'm in the same living room being nominated for six, like what is that? >> jimmy: are your parents going to go with you to the show? >> mm-hm. >> jimmy: you're doing the american music awards. >> on sunday. >> jimmy: that's your first award show performance. [cheers and applause] i'm wondering about this. this is a situation where you are all the have all of these artists on stage. do you feel competitive with them, like i'm going to go out there, my performance is going to be the best performance of all of them? >> it's like almost, but it's more like a competitiveness with myself. >> jimmy: with yourself, right. >> if that makes sense. i go up there to like be better than myself. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> know what i mean? >> jimmy: i totally know what you mean. >> it's weird, i'm like in this whole world. >> jimmy: i do know what you're talking about, because i've been in situations where there have

been a bunch of comedians on, and you always want to be the best one. doesn't mean you don't want the other ones to not be good. >> right, to not be good. it's like the whole universe is trying to pit every artist against each other. it's so weird. >> jimmy: and some people think that way. >> mm-hm. >> jimmy: you don't. >> i don't. >> jimmy: are you 17 years old, by is crazy that you're successful at 17 years old. i think back to myself at 17. when i was 17, perhaps the greatest year in american history, 1984. experts agree, right? and i was wondering if i could go -- >> who was born after that in this room? >> jimmy: after 1983? [cheers and applause] is that your nice way of reminding me how close i am to death? you know who madonna is? >> i do know who madonna is.

you. what did mr. t pity? >> what is that question? >> jimmy: the point is, i'm trying to make a point that you're younger than i am. can you name any of the original "ghostbusters"? >> i don't think i've seen it. >> jimmy: what should you never do to a gremlin after midnight? >> you're making me look so dumb. >> jimmy: it's not a matter of being dumb. if you ask me questions about 1943, i probably wouldn't know the answers either. >> well, great. you're turning 18 next month. what are you going to do? is there a big party planned? is somebody else responsible? >> i have some ideas of stuff, but it's pretty like, my life stuff. but the main thing i'm excited about is being able to drive my car past 11:00. >> jimmy: that's the law? you can't drive after 11:00? >> yeah, if you, you have to either have had your license for a whole year or be 18. >> jimmy: oh.

>> and i was so busy, i mean, my life was pretty crazy the last couple years. so i got to it a little bit late, even though it's something i really wanted to do my entire life. all i wanted to do was drive. >> jimmy: do you have a car? >> i do. >> jimmy: do you drive safely?

because you have to put your place in the place of i'm fine. i'm happy. a couple weeks ago i kind of decided to start living like i just woke up, and this was my life. >> jimmy: oh, okay, i see. >> no n, in a good way. if i was my 12 year old self and i suddenly woke up and this was my life, what would i be like oh, my god, i'm taking for granted i've been trying to live like that lately. >> jimmy: that's a great way of looking at it. did you come up with it yourself or did somebody advise you and tell you to think about it like that? >> no, i came up with it by myself. sporty spice was talking to me, and she was saying -- i don't want to say if, i don't know if

it's a secret or whatever. but when she was on stage with all the girls and they were all smiling at each other and she was saying it was a magical moment. at the beginning and the middle, it's like you work, work, work, work, and it's huge, huge, huge, and then it's done, and it's like oh. where did that go? and i just thought about that oh, my god, i'm in that part of my life that in the future i'm going to be like, damn, i wish i'd been, whatever. so i'm going to try to be as present as possible. >> jimmy: this is good. this is a good thing. now you're going to get to enjoy some commercials. and when we come back, we'll talk more with billie eilish. >> dicky: portions of jimmy kimmel live are brought to you by the all-new all-electric ford mustang mach-e. uhh, awkward.... aaannnnd awesome!

life. we got together and got along really well. we went out a couple times, wrote a song together, wrote another song, yeah, we're just friends. she's like one of the most talented. she's probably the best writer i've ever met besides my brother. >> jimmy: if you'd like, you can introduce her at the end of the show. you can stick around. it's great to have you here. we're going to see you on tv, and on tour. billie eilish, everybody. we'll be right back.

[ laughter ] bottom line. that's really what it boils down to. >> jimmy: so whatever he was looking for, you didn't give it to him. >> i didn't have it. didn't have it. no extra work, nothing. >> jimmy: that was it, huh? wow, how about that? is it true the first movie you did was "sneaakes on a plane"? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: what was it like making that movie? >> brilliant, brilliant. >> jimmy: were you on a fake plane the whole time? >> yeah, i hate snakes. everybody hates them. but i really. and they gave us a little tour of the snakes, not poisonous and all this, and i was the first guy that dies in the plane. i'm in the bathroom. have sex with my girlfriend in the bathroom. maybe smoke a joint in there, and i take down the fire detector, and that's how the snakes get in, so we're locked in, in the bathroom, in the show, obviously, in the movie. we're locked in, and they've been biting me for 30 minutes.

no, no, no. in the movie, they have. >> jimmy: in the script. >> so i need 13 hours of makeup to get all the bites and all this. so we're going to shoot opening the door and me coming out dead. so you obviously just fall down onto a mat. but you can't move. you're dead, hold your breath, do all that fun stuff. so i'm like, yeah, i'm ready, i can do this. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> and they open the door, i fall down. no one tells me, but off camera, there's two guys behind the seats pouring live snakes on top of me. >> jimmy: no one told you beforehand. >> no one told me. i'm holding my breath, trying to be dead, which obviously did not happen. i lost it. >> jimmy: i don't blame you. >> lost it. >> jimmy: i would have sued everyone on that plane. everybody's getting sued!

everyone! >> jimmy: was jackson there to watch this? >> he was not. >> jimmy: he would not have allow thad to happen. >> the director came out and apologized. he's like, they're not poisonous. >> jimmy: people think it's glamorous being in a big movie like "snakes on a plane." >> welcome to snakes on the plane. >> jimmy: you play a criminal in this. >> yes. >> jimmy: you are being pursued by chadwick boseman. >> yeah, it's like a nod to the noir films we grew up, it's a new york-based movie. they shut down manhattan and hunt myself and stephan james and jk simmons. it all takes place in one night. so shooting nights, i don't wish that on anyone. >> jimmy: oh, because you'd have to be up all night. >> but with that, you know, the bars are closed around 2:00 or

3:00 in the morning. and we're outside doing a big shootout in the movie. and you look, we looked over, and it was like around 3:00. and there's a few women, couple guys, they're arguing and they're just, you have to block the streets, obviously. and it's public area. so they're right at the border of like where the blockade is. and we're like, you know, let's call you a cab, whatever, i mean, she's intoxicated, hammered, hammered. just came out of the bar. like last call, like no joke. >> jimmy: okay. >> and she's like the defiant moment, i think maybe we've all been there. >> jimmy: happens all the time. people are like, no, this is a public street, and i'm standing right here! >> times that by a thousand. >> jimmy: okay, oh, good. >> so they wouldn't, the guy, security were like, hey, we'll get you a cab, what do we need to do to facilitate this.

and she's like, you know what? and then threw up all over the blockade, all over his knees down. and i'm like, we should be capturing this. >> jimmy: yeah, right, yeah. >> this should be in the movie. >> jimmy: this should be in the film. >> their is is the trailer, rig now. >> jimmy: i like the way you think. >> they didn't get it though. >> jimmy: maybe next time. you really made the movie seem glamorous. >> it was. >> jimmy: it's really good to see you.
