[cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you, thank you. welcome, welcome. very nice. thanks. i'm gemm i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. i appreciate that. and i do want to say, happy mardi gras. did you know tonight was mardi gras? the biggest day of the year for plastic penis whistles with glitter on them, hands down. mardi gras translates from

french fat tuesday. next week is super tuesday, then super fat tuesday. this is debate number ten for the democrats, and one of the big questions going into this is how mike bloomberg would respond to his poor showing at the debate last week. so far, bloomberg spent about $500 million to get smacked around by elizabeth warren on television. his primary goal was to try to knock off the number one guy, bernie sanders. bernie has a lot of plans, expensive plans. he's no dummy. every time one of the other candidates asks who's going to pay for these programs he points to bloomberg and says him! meanwhile, president trump is on his way back home from india where he was well buttered. this is going to surprise you. he believes the reception he got was like nothing the indian people had ever given before. >> in the history of india,

which has a long history and a brilliant history in so many different ways, there's never been a reception given to somebody like was given, and i would like to say for the usenid states of america. but i would like to say nobody got the big reception. >> of course he got a big reception. they love cows in india. [cheers and applause] trump went on to overestimate the size of the crowd, even though there were thousands of empty seats in the stadium, while he was speaking, and people were leaving wheel he was speaking, the donald brain translated that to mean there were fans lined up outside to get in. >> there were 125,000 seats yesterday, they were full. you had thousands and thousands of people outside. prime minister modi was telling me thousands of people outside. that's not uncommon for me to be honest. they'd never seen anything like it. somebody said it was the

greatest greeting ever given to any head of state from any country. >> jimmy: who, who said that? who, was that someone in a mirror and looks just like you? when he was done bragging about the size of his crowd, he took some team to talk about isis. >> well, i don't think anybody's done more than i have, if you look. because i came in, and if you check your maps and look at iraq and syria, it was all over. in fact, they had it painted a certain color, i won't tell you what color, because it doesn't matter. somebody will say it was a republican color. i don't want to get people confused. but it happened to be red. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he must be great with surprises. barron, i know it's your birthday tomorrow, and i don't want to say we're throwing you a party, but we're throwing you a party. melania made the be best of her trip to india. she took part in what they call a happiness class in new delhi.

that's interesting that she did that, because whatna t in the w would make melania think she might need a happy, oh, yeah, that. she needs an escape plan and grappling hook. we did learn some interesting things about donald trump's health today as the former white house doctor ronny jackson told the new york teams that "new yo regrets not being able to do more to improve the president's diet and exercise. this is a real quote from a man who was the actual doctor for the actual president of the united states, all right? we were working on his diet. we were making the ice cream less accessible. we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes. that is what we do with our 5-year-old at home. imagine sneaking cauliflower into the president's mashed

potatoes and hide the ice cream as if you're camping and you don't want to get bears in the camp. trump weighed in on dr. jackson's claim and weighed in tweeting it was a perfect cauliflower. the stock market was down a lot today in part because of the coronavirus, which is spreading. in fact three people in our theater -- no, just kidding. [ laughter ] you know, this morning, the president tweeted that the coronavirus is very much under control in the usa, which means we're in a lot of trouble. but i mean, we just found out they had to thick hrick him int eating vegetables. do we really think he has a handle on the coronavirus? have you seen the coronavirus? the microscopic? i googled it. it looks more like a homemade christmas ornament on etsy. that charming little bauble is trying to kill us. one person who is not concerned

about the coronavirus is recent presidential winner of the medal of freedom, rush limbaugh. >> the coronavirus is being weaponized to bring down donald trump. i want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus. you think i'm missing it. yeah, i'm dead right on this. the coronavirus is the common cold. >> jimmy: what? oh, that's great news. just chug an a little bit of robitussin, and you'll be fine. it doesn't seem like a cold in china where health officials and police are working around the clock to try to contain it. this is a real coronavirus drill from [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know what? when the s.w.a.t. team can't get the job done, send in the guy with the pool skimmer.

how does, it's not even -- [ applause ] i think i know why it as starting to spread. and while there may not be a vaccine for the coronavirus, disgrac disgraced televangelist jim baker has a cure. >> this that is circling the globe, you're saying silver solution would be effective. >> let's say it hasn't been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it's been tested on other strains of the coronavirus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours. >> yeah. >> totally eliminate it, kills it, deactivates it. >> yeah. >> and then it boosts your immune system, so then you can support the recovery. when you kill the virus then the immune system come noos into ac to clear it out. you want a vibrant immune system as well as the ability to deactivate these viruses.

>> that's so good. >> jimmy: yeah, that's good. that's about as real as harvey weinstein's walker. silver solution. [ applause ] it's like a tv show about an old ladies who sell mysteries. this jim baker is quite the character. how this guy came back after pocketing all that money from his church really is a miracle, but, you know what? he prayed his way through. this is a very prayerful man, a man who even prays about what he wears. >> i get dressed, and god, i pray about what i wear. i really do. i know i look stupid sometimes. but the last time god told me to wear a color was red. >> right. i remember. >> and what happened that day? the stock market crashed. a few days ago. >> i remember that. >> you remember that? yes. >> jimmy: yeah, that was the day he stopped dressing like spiderman to work. but i need to be careful, because according to jim, god is

going after anyone who makes fun of him. >> one day you're going to shake your fist in god's face. and you're going to say, god, why didn't you warn me? and he's going to say, you sat there, and you made fun of jim baker all those years. >> jimmy: he is? well, pack your bags, guillermo, i'm going to hell. >> guillermo: yes, we are. i'm going, too. >> jimmy: by all means, send him money for sure. now it's time to have some fun. every once in a while, when the moon is full, we send cousin sal out to make merry mischief. we rent a house and set up cameras and a task rabbit to complete a ridiculous task. ♪ >> hey, what's happening. are you the task rabbit? >> yeah. how you doin'? come on in, sweet. what's your name? >> isaac.

it. >> jimmy: so this book. let's talk about the book. this is a trial from 1770, shortly after the boston massacre, which is something to me, the lakers/celtics game. i never thought about the actual boston massacre. explain what happened. >> this is an incident that almost led to the american revolution before the revolution. there were five colonists shot and killed by british soldiers who were there. there was a lot of tension going on. the colonists didn't want the british soldiers there. this was that moment that almost led to the big fight. why didn't it happen? because of this trial. because the rule of law prevailed. and you had this case where we have a transcript. i mean, from 1770, with john adams, representing the british soldiers. remember, this is a patriot, someone who despised in many ways the british soldiers and british, but felt they were entitled to a legal defense, and he led the defense team in a

fascinating case. and one of the things that's so amazing to me is being able to see john adams in his own words. it wasn't a speech, wasn't prepared. it's just adams in court, defending these soldiers. >> jimmy: when you say a transcript, this is a guy dipping and writing as fast as he can? >> and his hand got so tired at one point by the end of the case that he had to stop and ask the prosecution to come and tell him what they had said again. >> jimmy: really? >> so he could rewrite it. because by the end, by the closing arguments, his hand was so worn out. also they hadn't really perfected shorthand or any of the things we know today. but, you know, that's one of the things that i found so amazing was being able to have that 217-page transcript. >> jimmy: have you seen the actual or a copy of the actual text? >> a copy of it but not the actual, i didn't get the actual transcript itself. but the copy of it, it's hand written, and in the beginning of the book we have excerpts from

the original transcript. >> jimmy: obviously, people are used to transcripts at the trial. but at the harvey weinstein trial, the guy drawing picturing of harvey weinstein and his private parts. >> in that case there was no camera allowed. i think based on what you're talking about it was probably for the best in many ways. but you'd get a sketch artist who comes in and draws pictures of what's happening inside court. >> jimmy: as a legal analyst, so harvey weinstein got convicted on two of the five charges. >> yeah. >> jimmy: were you surprised by that? >> i was a little surprised but not in the same way a lot of people were surprised. there were a lot of people saying i can't believe he didn't get convicted of all the charges, what happened? i think people are forgetting, they're treating this as if all the victims we've seen on the covers of magazines, on the websites, that this was about all of them. this wasn't.

this was about two women, both of whom had had relationships with him, either friendship or intimate relationship with hem befo him, before or after the incident. this made it a tough case. the fact that they were able to get convictions on both of these women makes it a ground breaking case. why, because we're finally understanding what rape can be. it doesn't need to be a situation where someone immediately calls the police. there are all sorts of different reactions by women. and an expert came in for the prosecution and talked about this. and the fact that these jurors were able to unanimously convict, despite issues that might not have passed ten years ago, i think if that case had been brought ten years ago there would not have been and conviction. >> jimmy: interesting. >> but people now understand better that rape victims respond in different ways, and just because someone stayed in touch with him after the fact does not

mean she wasn't raped. >> jimmy: interesting. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and in a way, john adams taking the position of defending those british soldiers is similar in some ways to harvey weinstein's attorneys defending him. >> look, harvey weinstein is entitled to a defense. i don't begrudge harvey weinstein's attorneys for taking the case. they, you know, they made arguments. the question becomes, the tougher question in some of these cases, becomes when they go after the victims and how hard they go after the victims, can we judge the lawyers in those kinds of cases? and it's a tricky question, because the defense has to be, you can't believe the accuser, right? the defense is, it was either consensual or didn't happen, et cetera. and so a defense attorney has to present a defense, but, there's also, you know, a particularly ugly way to do it. that some attorneys do it. >> jimmy: mm-hm.

>> and i think some of them do cross the line. and i think they do deserve, some of them, condemnation. >> jimmy: i want to change the subject very quickly to ""live pd."" was this your idea? >> no. i wish it was. >> jimmy: i don't even understand how it came to be. have you guys seen "live pd"? [cheers and applause] it is basically, it's very similar to "cops", except it's live, and it's happening in how many cities at once? >> we're in at least eight departments at once, and we're bouncing from department to department, based on what's happening, where there's activity, and it ranges from everything from really serious cases, shots fired, domestic violence cases to much lighter. i mean, this weekend we had a guy who was spotted buck-naked outside of someone's home. it turns out he'd been fooling around with a woman and the boyfriend came back. and he ran out, and he's

buck-naked out there, and my favorite line was, when the police come, and he said, well, they didn't tell me that he was going to come back. as if they would have given you the heads up, oh, yeah, by the way, the boyfriend's coming back. >> jimmy: do a brother -- >> yeah, everyone's okay in that situation. >> jimmy: and you guys, when this is happening live, are you celebrating, like, oh, my god, because i would imagine if someone came and pitched this to me, i'd say, what if nothing happens all night? >> there's never nothing happening. sometimes it's just cars being pulled over on traffic stops. >> jimmy: there's drama there, too. >> you doesndon't know what's g happen next. unlike "cops", which is like a highlight reel. >> jimmy: let's not denigrate cops. what are you going to do when they come for you.

>> there's been a couple times when "live pd's" been out and you hear someone in the background singing "the cops" show. >> jimmy: that is something else. >> it's really been an amazing experience to watch. you really do get to see if from the police officer's perspective. you see much more every day what police officers go through. in the news business we cover officer-involved shootings, it usually has an officer fires or an officer has been hit. and the vast majority of police officers have never fired their weapons, ever. and this is more the day to day aspects of what police officers do every day, and that's what the show reflects. somehow it's become a big hit. >> jimmy: a reason for people not to go out on the weekends anymore. this book is called "john adams under fire" comes out march 3rd. and we'll return with music from dustin lynch. ♪ >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is
