all right. thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> we apprecia ♪ ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ♪ ♪ jimmy kimmel live this is ridiculous! from his house! >> jimmy: hi there, i'm jimmy kimmel. welcome to my breakfast nook. thank you for welcoming me into your world. you know, i was thinking about it over the weekend. this would be a great time to go to rehab. wouldn't it? i mean, really, what's the difference? and who would know? our president. ronald mcdonald trump dropped a doozy yesterday. he sent the press into a frenzy, announcing that, remember that drug he had high hopes for and then they did some studies and found that it did not help covid patients and in fact, made them more likely to die? well yesterday, trump announced that he's taking it!

>> front line workers, many, many are taking it. i happen to be take beiing it. i happen to be taking it. i'm taking it, hydroxychloroquine, right now. couple weeks ago, started taking it. because i think it's -- i've heard a lot of good stories. >> jimmy: he's heard a lot of good stories. he got a checkup from dr seuss. you have to hand it to trump, just when you think he can't get any crazier, he starts popping fda-disapproved drugs. and telling everyone else to try it, too. why the president would take drugs that his own health agencies, the nih and the fda do not recommend as a preventative treatment for the coronavirus, is a mystery to all of us. but when donald trump digs in, he is dug, no matter what the consequence >> can you explain, sir, what is the evidence that it has a preventive effect. >> here we go, you ready? here's my evidence. i get a lot of positive calls about it. >> jimmy: he gets a lot of

positive calls. he hears a lot of good stories and gets a lot of positive calls. about it. our president is a hydroxy moron. i know it's hard to process, but are we surprised that the guy who thought windmills cause cancer thinks a lupus drug kills coronavirus? i looked up the side effects of this miracle drug trump is taking, they include -- "severe mood or mental changes"" check. "feeling that others can hear your thoughts." check. "feeling, seeing or hearing things that are not there." check. "large, hive-like swelling on the face, lips, tongue, throat, hands, legs, feet, and sex organs." let's say check. and diarrhea. if i was a reporter in the white house press pool, every question i ask from now on would be about diarrhea. "mr president, have you been experiencing any diarrhea?" "mr president, i have a question about the economy. is that giving you diarrhea?" you know when you go to the gas station and there's that rack of pills that claim they make your penis bigger, and you think "who

actually buys those?" well, the answer is our president. >> i get a lot of tremendously positive news on the hydroxy, and i say, hey, you know the expression i've used, john? what do you have to lose? okay, what do you have to lose. i have been taking it for about a week and a half. >> have you had any symptoms, sir? >> zero symptoms, i test every couple of days they want to test me. >> jimmy: i think it's an improvement. the truth is, i don't think trump has any idea what drugs he's taking. he's like a dog. mike pompeo just puts a bunch of pills in peanut butter and feeds it to him. why would he do this? why would he do this, to prevent coronavirus, and not wear a mask? i thought about it for a long time last night. and i've come to what i think is the only reasonable conclusion. he's trying to kill himself. remember how we all said he didn't really want to be president? he wished he was at home, at mar a lago playing golf and finding

ways to humiliate his friends? that he's miserable in the white house? well guess what? i think we were right. and i think he's had enough. i think he's worried he might get re-elected, despite the fact that he's done everything possible to make sure no one would ever want to vote for him again he colluded with russia. he extorted ukraine. he declared his love for kim jong-un. he made fun of john mccain. he threw paper towels at puerto ricans. he paid off a porn star. in the middle of a pandemic, he wants to reopen the mall. he stared directly into an eclipse and none of it worked. he's still popular and still trapped in that white house. and there's only one way out. a big glass of bleach with a hydro and z pack chaser! i don't think people understand. this is a cry for help. everyone is paying attention, but no one is paying attention. his twitter feed alone is basically the world's longest suicide note. he hates his life. and, of course he does! imagine having to live every day knowing that at any minute, don

jr or eric could walk in and say "hi, dad." its a nightmare! i'm amazed he's made it this long. donald trump could be the first president who ever tried to assassinate himself. and somebody needs to watch him. he really outdid himself this time. even other idiots are going, "don't be an idiot." trump lashed out last night, at fox news. after neil cavuto of fox news had the temerity to warn his viewers that this miracle drug is not recommended. trump saw it and wrote, "@foxnews is no longer the same. we miss the great roger ailes. you have more anti-trump people, by far, than ever before. looking for a new outlet!" "the great roger ailes," a man who was accused of sexually harassing at least 20 employees before being forced out and dropping dead. he's looking for a new outlet. hey, if you're looking for a new outlet, might i suggest this one? rub your tongue up against that. i'm going to sum up the current state of america for you.

yesterday, neil cavuto, informed his viewers that an experimental drug the president is taking could kill them. and the president responded. by retweeting a guy calling neil cavuto "an ass [ bleep ]." and the guy he retweeted, his profile picture is al bundy, and his bio says "my stash of lesbian porn proves i'm not homophobic." the president read his post, smiled, nodded and retweeted it. meanwhile, nancy pelosi last night, she hit trump right in the old bread basket! >> as far as the president is concerned, um, the, the uh, he's our president, and i would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved, uh, by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, where he's morbidly obese, they say. >> jimmy: "yes, what's the technical term, anderson? i believe they call it, fatty-fatty boom-boom?"

yes? it's coming at him from all sides now. and so what is his plan? no, not more testing. his plan, which is always his backup plan, is to attack barack obama! >> so many things are happening, but i think president obama was an incompetent president. he did a terrible job. and by the way, there was great division in our country with president obama. >> jimmy: and now we're totally united! all the colors of the rainbow have finally come together! thanks to me. trump has been trying desperately to stir up obama drama. his latest invention is called "obamagate." trump has accused obama of something. we're not exactly sure what. but he described it as "the greatest political crime in the history of our country." a crime that has been embraced by the president's remaining buddies at fox news.

>> obama gate. >> obama gate. >> obama gate. >> and what about joe biden? where was he when it happened? why won't he talk about it? was hillary clinton complicit? construction, conspiracy, unmasking the deep state. peter strzok, sasha and maleah, light bulbs. whatever this is, it's big. the scandal that could end the obama presidency. obama gate, the truth comes out, a fox news special report. >> jimmy: i'd watch that. we have a good show for you tonight. we'll have a very special, very animated performance from gorillaz. and be right back with janelle monáe. ♪ >> dicky: abc's jim"jimmy kimme live," brought to you by chevrolet. out and discover...o at chevy, we're committed to getting you there

of our scenes, stephan james is an incredible actor, and he was my scene partner doing the scene we were doing and all of a sudden we hear a loud, ah! scream. because you can hear a fruit fly snap. and one of the production people stepped in and said, i think she likes it. that was julia roberts. that's the biggest compliment you can get from someone like her. meant a lot. >> jimmy: yeah, absolutely. so you've chosen our charity for tonight, charity is project isaiah, this is something that you are personally involved with, yes? >> yes, i am partnering with private isaiah. we fed 5,000 people in atlanta, georgia over two weekends. this organization saves, like, 500 worker jobs. they are partnering with gate
