happy ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da, ba, ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da, ba, da, ba ♪ ♪ jimmy kimmel live >> jimmy: well, hi there, i'm jimmy kimmel. thank you for joining me in my home. on what was a much better day in the united states of america. before we get to that, this has been a dark and heavy week, but yesterday, we had the tv on in the kitchen. we were watching the protests on the news, and our five-year-old daughter jane walks in and asks "why are the people are marching?" and my wife explained, she said they're marching "because they want peace." and our son billy, who's three, hears this and says "i want peace." and we're all like "awww." that's sweet. and then, he says "is piece candy?" he wants reese's piece. you know, we did watch et last

week. maybe that's where he got it. at long last, charges were filed today against the three policemen who stood by and did nothing as their fellow officer ended george floyd's life. that officer, derek chauvin, has been charged with second-degree murder and second degree manslaughter. the other three were charged with aiding and abetting those charges, which is good news, a long time coming. there have been protests now in all 50 states. and that's a pretty big deal. we can't even get all 50 states onboard for daylight saving time. the whole world has been watching and weighing in. even the chinese government said they hope the u.s. will take "concrete measures" to "eliminate all forms of racial discrimination." when china is giving you a lecture on human rights, that's not a great sign. meanwhile, our president is still getting his bible thumped for that embarrassing photo session at st john's church on monday. the white house today tried to explain why the orange chicken crossed the road. business suit barbie tried to spin it like this.

>> through all of time, we've seen presidents and leaders across the world who've had leadership moments or symbols for the nation to see at any given time, like churchill, we saw him inspecting the damage, it sent a powerful message of leadership to the british people. >> jimmy: churchill, he wasn't talking about fighting his own people. the only thing donald trump has in common with churchill is they wore the same bra size. he never went into the church, didn't examine the damage to the church. held up a bible upside down. didn't read from the bible. didn't give a speech, posed for photos and left. i don't know, that sounds like a pretty textbook definition of a

photo op to me. he treated it like taking your kid to see santa at the mall. trump of course cannot admit to any kind of mistake. he tweeted, "people liked my walk to this historic place of worship." who liked it? i'm not sure. you have a problem when even the 600 year old host of the 700 club is not impressed. >> he said i'm ready to send in military troops if the nation's governors don't act to quell the violence that have rocked the american city. as a matter of fact he spoke of them as being jerks. you just don't do that, mr. president! it isn't cool. >> jimmy: and he knows cool. he's one of the original muppets. turns out, you know whose idea that walk from the white house to the church was? ivanka's. according to the "new york times", trump's chief of staff said it was ivanka's idea. and as a result, ivanka has been demoted to eric. you don't have to listen to all

your kids' suggestions. if we did that at my house, the bathtub would be filled with skittles right now. trump is also trying to refute claims that protesters were attacked by police to make way for trump's walk of shame. they say they used pepper bombs. not rubber bullets and tear gas. right, it's gren-a-do, gren-ah-do. trump says he meet enact an old law. that didn't sit well with mark esper, who probably ended his time in the administration today. >> the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. we are not in one of those situations now. i do not support invoking the insurrection act. >> jimmy: and you're fired. i'm glad he spoke up. why would a draft dodger be

allowed to be in charge of the military? it's like a vegan in charge of the barbecue. trump was also upset about reports that he was taken to an underground bunker. during the protests on friday night. so he phones his foxy friend brian kilmeade. who tried very hard to give master an out on this by pinning it on the secret service, but donald the dense didn't get the hint. >> sometimes the secret service even tells the president, i can't do this. so you're telling me, mr. president, they didn't say to you, you have to go downstairs. my responsibility is your welfare. they didn't limit you at all in the house? >> no, they said it would be a good time to go take a look. maybe sometime you're going to need it. >> jimmy: oh, he went down to take a look because someday he's going to need it. but go on. >> i go down two or three times, all for inspection. >> jimmy: all for inspection. that's why he went down in the

middle of a massive protest outside his house. he needed to inspect the place to make sure they stopped enough horsy sauce in the cupboard. and with all this going on, the president has been tweeting up a storm about what a gift he is to black americans. this morning he wrote, i've done more for black americans than any president in u.s. history with the possible exception of another republican president, the late great abraham lincoln, and it's not even close. lincoln ended slavery. trump thinks it's possible lincoln did more. this would actually be funny if it wasn't at all. so, democracy is gone, but basketball is coming back. espn's reporting that the nba board of governors is going to vote tomorrow on a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams. for eight regular season games. a possible play-in tournament for the eighth seed and the playoffs all taking place in orlando, florida at disney world, and the champions will be whichever team doesn't get the virus. i'm happy about that. i don't know about you, i can't

wait to see how long james harden's beard is right now. even though we have not seen the last of covid-19, even though stores are opening and people are getting back to work, the virus is still out there. here in california, we've had, i think we had 17,000 new cases, last week, 10,000 in l.a. county alone. as we know, the sequel is always worse than the original. but businesses are ready to go. as a service to them, we've created a psa that any company who wants to use can use, just follow the instructions and your organization from a pr standpoint should be all set. >> hello there. with all the news about covid-19, consumers are understandably concerned about public spaces. well, as ceo of insert your company's name here, i want to personally assure you that we're doing everything we can to keep you safe, because your health is our number one priority.

my guest tonight might be the best actor in the world. she has as oscar and three emmies and could very well get another for the costumed vigilante in "watchman." please say hello to regina king. hi, regina. >> hey, jimmy, wow, what an intro. thank you. >> jimmy: i got to tell you, i have this conversation, my wife and i have this conversation with each other, and we both agree, so it really doesn't go very far, but we do think you are unbelievably great in every single thing that you do. but before we talk about that stuff, i know you are an l.a. native, right? you grew up here. this is your town, and obviously, you've been paying attention to everything that's been going on. how are you feeling right now. >> um, you know, i think i'm finally starting to pull myself up by my bootstraps. everything has been super heavy, like, as it is for everyone. right now. but i've finally gotten to a

place where i'm clear as to what it is that i need to do to make changes, you know. i feel like the protesting that's happening is, is necessary. we wouldn't have probably these most recent charges that just came up against the other three officers would not have happened without the protests. but still, you know, we have officers in louisville who have not been charged for brionna taylor's murder. and there are so many other cases like that, and i'm just convinced that the only way we're going to change is to get out and vote and not just in the presidential elections, but on the local levels. and that means voting every year. so i've just kind of been inspired to start educating myself, speaking to my friends

like stephanie janes of the collective. and melina abdullah of black lives matter. giving myself civics education of finding out who candidates are who can actually change policy. because, at the end of the day, i feel like the only way we can make changes to these systemic problems is to make systematic changes. and that's change the laws and to change the laws we have to change the lawmakers. so that's where i am right now. >> jimmy: and to change our way of thinking, i think. just in general. is another thing that we obviously have to work on. you know, shaquille o'neill was on the show last night, and i'd asked him about his sons. he's got sons, and i asked him if he had this talk with them where he explains what it means to be a young black man when it comes to dealing with the police, when it comes to dealing with people in general.

and i was wondering, you have a son, how old is your son? >> my son is 24. >> jimmy: so have you had this conversation with him? >> yes, i mean, i any most of homes, black homes, it's not just a conversation. it's, it's an ongoing conversation. >> jimmy: ongoing. >> yeah. it never stops. you get to a place, especially when you're, your children are at an age where, you know, they are looked at as adults, and the anger that they have is, you know, it just compounds. every time something like this happens and another moment that's telling them that they're not worthy. they're not valuable. their lives aren't valuable once they walk outside of the comfort of their homes. you know, the conversation shifts every time. because you have to find a way

to support their feeling that and make sure that you are let being them know that you hear them and that you do mirror the same sentiment, but you don't want them to do anything that's going to put themselves in a situation that they may not come back home. they may not talk to you again, so it's a constant conversation, always. >> jimmy: did your son understand it right away? did he know what you were referring to when you started this conversation with him? or was it a surprise? >> i think he was, you know, our conversations really became more, they were, they got deeper once we were, when obama, when president obama was running for his first term. and the campgng at i w

doing, you know, your kids are seeing what you do, so the passion that i was having behind there, i think that's what was making his comprehension with the conversations deeper then. and it really hit home, i think, when he learned to drive. and that's when the conversation shifts again, because you kind of have to make them very clear about what they're supposed to do when they're out there in that car by themselves. >> jimmy: right. >> and more than likely are going to get pulled over because you're a young black man. >> jimmy: that's one of the things that makes me ignorant, because i don't think i was fully aware of this before this month. i heard this, but i did not know it was a rite of passage in an african american family, that along with using your turn signal, would you have to instruct them on how to behave with the police. it's amazing.

>> yeah, i have, i have a lot of friends who are white, and our sons are the same age, and we'd be having conversations with how's it going when you're teaching your kid, how's it going with brandon and driving, how's it going with ian and driving, and one of my closest girl friends, patty and her son brandon and ian have been best friends since they were 5 years old. and, you know, she would, got really emotional when my conversations with ian and the driving experience, when i was telling her about it, and it just never even dawned on her. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and the reality that she doesn't have to have that same conversation. it, you know, brought a lot of stuff up for her. so, you know, it's, it's good that you know. >> jimmy: i'm glad that i know now. we're talking to regina king. we'll be right back. ♪ lkswagen today.

so i feel like i'm recognized even more now in the store with the mask on. >> jimmy: you're the only person in hollywood who's now more recognizable as a result of the virus. well, it's really great to talk to you. i love the show. if you're looking for something to watch whenever people ask me what should i watch, watch "watchmen." it's a great show. and every night i've asked my guest to pick a charity. regina, you picked black lives matter, great charity to give to, i don't think we need to say much more about that than now is the time. if you ever wanted to support black lives matter. go to the web address on your screen. regina king, thank you, regina.
