appreciate your time. >> right now ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da, ba, ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da,ba ♪ jimmy kimmel live this is ridiculous. >> his house. >> jimmy: hello, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of this. thank you for watching. special thanks for all the online criticisms of my home. keep 'em coming. they're really helpful. this is kind of funny. i guess this is the bright side of the "stay at home" order. i got an email from costco today, saying they had a package, and the delivery window was from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. a seven-hour delivery window. and for the first time maybe in my life, i was like "no problem. in fact, if you need to stretch it to six, 6:30-midnight, fine, you don't even have to let me know.

i will be sitting right here. by the door. waiting for you." people have been staying at home and ordering stuff. this is good. this actually happened to me once, with a 26 foot moving truck someone captured this on their ring camera. an amazon delivery guy forgot to put his truck in park, and then he brought the item to the door. and was pretty relaxed, until he's pretty relaxed. rings the bell. even walking back to the truck, pretty relaxed. until, he realized the truck started rolling backwards down the street. last we checked, he's still chasing it. in politics, which are happening, whether we like it or not, a very big name weighed in today, on the race for president. >> hi, everybody? where the hell have you been? did you not see the o'bat

signal?. it's been flashing for like two years. >> jimmy: as was expected, barack obama officially endorsed his former vp for p. obama, who has been in quarantine since, january of 2017, posted a 12 minute video on twitter. and you can see, he looks older. every time i see him, it feels like he's visiting from the future to warn us about something. obama gave biden a hearty endorsement, and he had kind words for bernie sanders too. he described bernie as "an american original," which sounds good, i guess, but realistically, you could say the same thing about mountain dew code red. some are saying obama's endorsement came late, given that he waited until joe biden had the nomination. it's like endorsing tom brady for quarterback of the buccaneers. but obama has been off windsurfing or something. he had to wait for a breeze. to bring him into shore. meanwhile, donald trump just got an endorsement from a president too, himself. it was another manic monday for old yeller, who gave an all-timer of a press conference yesterday. he was almost foaming at the mouth.

he was huffing and puffing so much, you'd think he'd just done a sit- up. he's very upset. he is upset, not about the death toll, or the lack of ventilators, masks, tests, etcetera, etcetera. he's upset because he doesn't want blame, he wants credit. blame bad, credit good. and that's what he wants. he went on for two hours and 24 minutes, yesterday, with no intermission. in case you missed it, we whittled it down to the best of the worst. >> i don't mind being criticized, but not when you're wrong. the whole network, the way you cover it is fake. it's a fake newspaper, and they write fake stories. and most of you, mott anot all , but most of you. you have a lower approval rating. >> why are there no consequences for china.

what are the consequences? >> i wouldn't tell you. you'd probably be the last person on earth i'd tell. the president of the united states calls the shots. when somebody's the president of the united states, the authority is total. >> but who told you the president has the total authority? >> jimmy: like an angry parent. you underestimate the power of the orange side. so he's handling things well, but this is what happens when he goes a week without golf. trump is battling with the governors now. he insists that the president calls all the shots, which is, of course, not true, and totally contrary to the longtime position of the republican party, which believes strongly in states rights. you can't embrace the confederacy and the total authority of the federal government at the same time. it's like thanos having an iron-man themed birthday party. you just don't do it. so after trump went on his power trip, a reporter from "politico," had the good sense to ask mike pence, who was governor of indiana, what he thinks.

>> this is a question for mr. vice president. do you agree with the president's statement and his understanding of federalism, that his power is total? is there anything you'd like to add or in context you'd like to add to the way he was discussing that? >> i support the president's leadership under the national emergency declaration he signed. >> jimmy: he looks scared, doesn't he? i thought robots weren't supposed to show fear? i guess they haven't worked out all the kinks yet. trump made history yesterday. he did something i don't believe any president has done before. he brought a video for the press to watch. like a lazy substitute teacher. propogrampa had his staff, cut together a video, designed i guess, to make him look good and them look bad. but it seems like it had the opposite effect. >> we have a few clips that we're just going to put up. we can turn the lights a little bit lower. i think you'll find them

interesting. please, you can put it ♪ ♪ >> so we could give you hundreds of clips like that. >> jimmy: please do. maybe he'll finally get that emmy he wanted. by all accounts, it was the likes of which no reporter, seems to have ever seen. but in fairness, in the interest of equal time, trump's unhinged performance did receive one rave

review. >> i've seen a lot of the president's briefings, i feldhe few of them myself, today was one of his best. >> jimmy: he's not going to come to your birthday party, sean. when are you gonna get that through your head? trump is not just talking up a storm, he's also tweeting one. why he is doing this? i have no idea. there is no reason for it, but he was on the offensive again today, lashing out. he wrote, "tell the democrat governors that 'mutiny on the bounty' was one of my all time favorite movies. a good old-fashioned mutiny every now and then is an exciting and invigorating thing to watch, especially when the mutineers need so much from the captain. too easy!" this is unbelievable, not only is he threatening not to help states with federal assistance, with our money, the captain from "mutiny on the bounty," in the end of that movie, was judged to be unfit to lead. in other words, the ship has hit the tan. most states are under shelter in place orders, only essential

saved his wife, george stephanopoulos. >> that is not how he sees it. >> jimmy: how are you doing? >> this is a weird one. ali had a pretty tough case. she was in bed for a couple weeks. i've never had a fever, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath, no chills. the only thing i could think of is one day, a couple, now almost three weeks ago, had a little bit of lower back pain and went to bed early, and that was it. >> jimmy: that was it. >> no sense of smell for about a day, but that was like several weeks ago. and sense then, just nothing beyond that. >> jimmy: why did you end up getting tested? because you were planning to go back to work? >> yeah, i wanted to make sure eventually when i went back to work that i was absolutely negative.

i was pretty priced thsurprised turned out positive. even the technician when she called to say so, she said we don't get it, my temperature was 97, oxygen 99. she says we were surprised too. but there you go. >> jimmy: but you are anchoring "good morning, america" from your dining room? >> yeah, i'm in the living room now. but i'm doing it in the dining room. >> jimmy: what is that like? has everything stopped in the house for that? >> therey're sleeping during gm time. but the dogs go nuts seeing a squirrel in the back yard. it's kind of worked around. >> jimmy: your number one issue right now is squirrels right now. >> squirrels and hair. >> jimmy: and hair. who is doing your hair? >> can't you tell? i'm doing it myself. >> jimmy: i'm doing mine as well. and it's embarrassing to even talk about who's doing your
