thanks for watching tonight. >> we appre ♪ pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa, pa-da-pa ♪ ♪ jimmy kimmel live this is ridiculous. >> from his house! >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy. welcome to my home. hard to believe it's already halloween, isn't it? i hope you had a good weekend. let me guess, you baked bread and watched the michael jordan documentary? i'm actually feeling great today. this morning i woke up, i rolled up my sleeves, i injected a big syringe of formula 409 into my arm and i am now coronavirus-free. the tide pods appear to be turning on president wackadoodle. dr. donald jingleheimer trump spent the weekend trying to pretend he wasn't really

suggesting that maybe we should inject disinfectants into our bodies. he claimed he was being sarcastic with reporters, which was a lie, but i shouldn't say that. i'll let you be the judge of whether it was a lie or not. does this seem, in any way, like he was being sarcastic to you? >> and i think you said you're going to test that, too? sounds interesting. and then i see the disinfectant which knocks it out in a minute. one minute. and is there a way we can do something like that? by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. so it will be interesting to check that. you're going to have to use medical doctors. >> jimmy: right, right. medical doctors. those are the ones with the circle things on their heads, right? can we claim we were being sarcastic when we elected him president? after this little nugget of nuts, trump's own environmental protection agency quickly posted guidelines for using

disinfectants that included the phrase "do not ingest disinfectant products." unfortunately, many of those who support trump are perfectly happy to ingest disinfectant products if the president tells them to do it. the illinois department of health reported a spike in calls to poison control from people who had ingested bleach and other cleaning products. maryland governor larry hogan said that after trump spoke his state saw hundreds of calls to their emergency hotline asking if it was right to ingest clorox or alcohol cleaning products. even the company that makes lysol put out a statement. they wrote -- "as a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body." whatever. lysol, you're fake news. the word "lie" is right in your name. why should we listen to you? we've got a president -- i think this might be the first president ever to embarrass a cleaning product. so then usually when a human being says something that is

dangerous and dumb and gets a ton of backlash for it they either apologize or at the very least reel it in. but when you're donald trump, you don't do that. you just keep talking and talking and try to bury it all under a mountain of nonsense. >> if light, if sun, sun itself, the sun has a tremendous impact on it. sun and heat. and humidity. will wipe it out. it doesn't live well with sun. sunlight. heat. doesn't live well in heat and sun and disinfectant. the disinfectant has an unbelievable -- wipes it out. i do think that disinfectant on the hands could have a very good effect. >> jimmy: i agree. i think it could. this is what happens when you mix adderall with geritol. it would appear that the president is extra sensitive about his job performance right now. there was a story in "the new york times" that said he has been watching a ton of tv and eating fast food. so of course he saw that story and yesterday he tweeted "i work from early in the morning until

late at night. haven't left the white house in many months (except to launch hospital ship comfort)." yeah. we know. you haven't left the house in months. no one has left the house in months. and also, you did leave the house. you had a rally in march and you went to mar-a-lago. but back to your twitter tantrum. "and then i read a phony story in the failing 'new york times' about my work schedule and eating habits, written by a third rate reporter who knows nothing about me. i will often be in the oval office late into the night and read and see that i am angrily eating a hamburger and diet coke in my bedroom. people with me are always stunned. anything to demean!" and yes, he misspelled "hamburger" again. you'd think that would be the one word he'd know. but his new chief of staff, this lucky fellow named mark meadows, ran to the "new york post" to tell them that trump is so busy working we often misses lunch. well, not according to his pants, he doesn't. if trump misses lunch it's only because he's still eating breakfast.

and maybe the most interesting detail of the story in the "times" is after he does one of these marathon briefings he goes upstairs and watches them on tv to review his performance with his staff. and i'll bet he gets very good marks. "great job again mr. president! that thing about putting wiper fluid in your veins? brilliant!" and by the way, this fit he had on twitter happened on his wife's 50th birthday. it was melania's 50th birthday. and no, it would seem that her birthday wish did not come true. she is still there. after that disastrous briefing, the white house canceled the briefings for saturday, today and yesterday. there was talk they'd try to limit the president's face time going forward. but of course trump got wind of that, of people saying he'd been muzzled, and rescheduled his event for today. and he also had a televised meeting with leaders of industry today. even though the president is taking a lot of heat right now, he seems to be in top form.

>> [ mumbling ]. >> jimmy: what? can we have another look at that? >> [ mumbling ]. >> jimmy: it would appear the windex has penetrated his brain. i really cannot fathom how anyone could watch this man and think yes, that is the leader we need. a lot of times people say what would be the reaction if obama spoke like trump? so we decided to try that out. this is what it would be like if obama spoke like this. >> then i see the disinfectant which knocks it out in a minute. one minute. and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? because you see -- >> you're the president and people want to get information and guidance and want to know what to do -- >> i'm the president and you're fake news. >> jimmy: right.ll, we have a g.

everyone's favorite flavor. i can't believe this was in stock, jimmy. chipotle chicken, which is truly the more disgusting version of ramen you can get. i love a ramen noodle as much as anyone. but this is a real experiment gone wrong in our home. it's taking up so much room. >> jimmy: maybe he's thinking about going back to college and moving into a dorm. i don't know what's going on there. >> i just love that that was where his brain went, thinking exactly that. like what can we have that we can subsist on? and i thought we're going to do this to our children? >> jimmy: well, that's a worst case scenario type of meal. your children are what? what grades? >> 7 -- i have a first-grader and a third-grader. 7 and 9. they love spicy chicken chipotle. >> jimmy: have you been helping them with their home schooling? >> yeah. i mean, it's sort of what we're

all doing now. i do want to take the opportunity to say thank you to all of the teachers out there and all of the parents who are teaching because i have really come to the realization that especially third grade math is nearly impossible to teach. you have to have a lot of patience. >> jimmy: i'm glad you brought that up because i've got some questions from a real teacher from the lausd. gave me some first and third-grade questions. okay? >> oh, boy. >> jimmy: how many syllables are in the word rhinoceros? >> rhinoceros. rhinoceros. four? >> jimmy: four is correct. which of the following numbers is not a multiple of seven? 28, 42, 57, 63. >> 57? >> jimmy: that's correct. one more. which three-dimensional shape

>> no. it's literally why i selected this charity. >> jimmy: the center for reproductive rights is your charity. tell us a bit about that. >> the center for reproductive rights, they fight all the court battles to keep abortion safe and legal in america. so abortions are a constitutionally protected right, and right now -- i mean, i personally think that the government shouldn't be involved in deciding how many people are in your family at any time but especially now when people are facing such unstable and anxiety-ridden times. i think it's important everyone have access to whatever health care they need. and the center fights to keep those clinics open in states all across america. >> jimmy: well, thank you, elizabeth. it is great to see your face. i appreciate you taking a minute out of your i'm sure very busy day of eating ramen to chat.
