i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. four all of us here, we appreciate your time. next on from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host anthony anderson. tonight, tracee ellis ross. and washington, d.c. mayor muriel bowser. and now, anthony anderson. >> hello, and welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." i am your host for the next two nights, anthony anderson. jimmy is taking the summer off to do whatever the hell white people do. polo? ice fishing? i don't know. so he asked me to guest host, which the word guest doesn't seem quite right. when you invite a guest over for dinner, you don't make them show up to an empty house and cook their own damn food, do you? but i'm happy to be guest-hosting the show.

i'm a little less happy about guest-parenting jimmy's badass ki wlee's ay hey, billy!i told you, stove, boy! when you burn yourself, just put some tussin on it. anyway, don't worry, loyal jimmy kimmel viewers. tonight you are in good hands. good chapped overly sanitized hands. i'd like to also say hello to my virtual sidekick. are you there, guillermo? >> hi, how are you? >> i'm doing all right, brother. tell me this, why didn't jimmy take you on vacation with him? >> because he's a cheap son of a bitch. >> ha, ha, ha. that we both know. i'm here for free, and you get what you paid for. now, i hope u l had a nice holiday weekend. although this was probably the worst fourth of july ever. this year instead of fireworks we all watched our summer plans explode. here in los angeles, mayor garcetti actually canceled all

firework displays in the interest of covid safety. so instead the people of los angeles did this. >> these are illegal fireworks going off in the city of los angeles right now. our helicopter's been flying for the last 10 minutes, 15 minutes or so, and there are massive fireworks going off in pretty much every direction that you see here. jasmine, our local fire departments and police departments have been begging people not to do this, but it seems tonight they are not listening to those calls. >> well, maybe they just can't hear those calls because an m-80 blew out their eardrums. you know, l.a. has a reputation of being full of rich people with dogs in their purses. but i was born here and that's the l.a. that i know. this weekend we saw lots of maskless people out partying as if they've never even heard of the coronavirus. and the scene at diamond lake in michigan on saturday was particularly infectious. ♪

♪ oh, sweet child o'mine ♪ >> you guys are amazing out there! >> yes, they're amazing. and now also hospitalized. by the way, you know who has the worst job in america? this brother right here who had to stand knee deep in covid juice listening to a bunch of drunk white people sing guns n' roses. get that man a raise and a vaccine. president trump also had a rager outside the white house on saturday. and this kind of tells you everything you need to know about america right now. in 2015 president obama had bruno mars perform at his fourth of july party. and trump had this. ♪ ♪ uptown funk you up ♪ uptown funk you up >> now you sing it! we got to do that again. ♪ uptown funk you up

♪ uptown funk you up come on! yeah! okay. i like this. let's keep it going. >> keep what going? wow, major embarrassment. that's the name of the lead singer. speaking of presidents, the 2020 election has an exciting last-minute candidate. on saturday kanye west tweeted, "we must now realize the promise of america by trusting god, unifying our vision, and building our future. i am running for president of the united states. #2020vision." wow, president kanye. that's right, yeezy wants to be preezy. and you know, laugh all you want, but this would be historic because while this country has had a black president, we've never had a crazy black president. it should be pointed out that kanye still has to register with the federal election commission, collect enough signatures to get

on the ballot, create a campaign platform, and he's already missed the deadline to file as an independent candidate in a bunch of states. but other than that, he good. all right, i'd like to switch gears and get serious for a moment. i'm going to speak directly to all the white people out there. you know who you are. ♪ listen, i know with all the turmoil going on in this country it isn't easy to be white right now. you have positive intentions, you love your fellow man, and you want your black brothers and sisters to know you're "one of the good ones." but how do you do that besides tweeting how much you love "hamilton"? how do you tell the world, "i am so woke, i feel like i just mainlined a super big gulp sized coffee?" black coffee. it's easy to say you aren't racist, but how do you show it? what you need is a bff. a black fictional friend.

street in front of the white house black lives matter plaza, but just to be safe, in case trump didn't get the message, she had this giant mural visible from space painted there, too. please say hello to mayor muriel bowser. >> hi, anthony. thanks for having me. >> thank you for being a part of this. how are you? >> i'm doing fantastic. >> we're going to just jump right into the mural. and the renaming of the street. why did you do it? >> well, anthony, i think you saw, like so many americans saw, peaceful protesters in front of the white house after a horrendous murder witnessed by the world attacked by their government. and what we saw here in washington, d.c., was federal forces, national guards, police that were unidentified slowly moving onto d.c. streets, away from the white house and out

into our city, into local washington. we really felt that we had to push them back. we did all that we could, using all of our arguments and persuasion and going to the media. and we were able to push those guards back and reclaim our street in front of the white house, which was so important to us. sending an affirming message at a very pivotal time in the nation's history, we think, is also a good thing. >> now, this is your second term as mayor of d.c. has this been your most challenging year thus far? >> i will tell you, we didn't think 2020 would bring a global pandemic. and we certainly could have never thought about having to shut our city down and economy down, and businesses and so many people being out of work because of covid. sustained demonstrations, as well, have been very challenging. no, we couldn't imagine it.

and it has been incredibly challenging. but i will tell you, all the people who work for us in d.c., 37,000 d.c. government workers, our businesses and residents have done exactly what we've asked. we've been able to blunt the curve of covid. and hopefully that means we'll have a safe reopening of our economy in the very near future. >> okay. switching reels, let's talk about d.c. statehood. >> yes. >> let's talk about why it's so important for the district of columbia to become a state, and why has it taken this long, and hasn't happened yet. >> i'm so glad you're talking about this on late night tv so millions of americans will know that the residents of their nation's capital are not treated equally. they will know that our congresswoman doesn't have a vote. they will know we don't have two senators. and that's just un-american.

we pay taxes. we go to wars. we do everything that is asked of us as american citizens. but we're not represented. so the roots of our lack of statehood go back and we think are rooted in slavery. we know and we've heard from the highest levels of office in our land that people are against us becoming a state because they think we will elect two democrats to the senate. but we all know that our american citizenship is not based on whether we're democrats or republicans. and statehood shouldn't be based on whether we're democrats or republicans. just that we pay our full share and we want our full representation. >> and in saying you pay your full share, of your 700,000 constituents or residents of the district of columbia you guys pay more taxes than more than 22 states in the country.

and because you are not a state you've missed out on $750 million in the stimulus package that could have helped the district of columbia and its residents. >> right. so anthony, sometimes people think you're just a little district. the fact is, we have more residents than montana and vermont, and a similar number of residents, and we're a growing city, than two other states. and we give more to the federal government than we get back. so there's a misconception out there that everything that we do is paid for by the federal government. but the last time i checked my pay stub, i pay federal taxes. >> right. >> and that's the same for every taxpayer in the district of columbia. we pay our federal taxes, but we don't get our fair share back. >> okay. ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. mayor muriel bowser of the district of columbia, hopefully soon to be, and we're going to

change the name of the city as well if that happens? >> we will be the 51st state, and we will be washington, d.c. but this time it's the douglass commonwealth. >> there you go. on that, we'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen. ♪ sausage is a great i'm deal like life.ah... you get out of it about what you put into it. you put in quality and you gonna get out quality.
