now, jimmy kimmel, senator bernie sanders. ♪ this is an abc color presentation. had. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, senator bernie sanders, cal penn and music from haim. and now, jimmy kimmelle [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. welcome, greetings my fellow americans, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching in the aftermath of wrestle mania in cleveland tonight. it was the main event, sleepy versus sleazy. bate between joe biden and last donald trump. it got off to an interesting start, you know, they flipped a coin to determine who would get the first question, but when

trump saw the quarter in the air, he said hey, that's how much i paid in taxes last year, and it went downhill from there. because of the pandemic, there's no opening hand shake, no physical contact. the candidates remained socially distant. it was like date night with melania. biden faced an unusual challenge. how do you diebate a pathologicl liar. it's like debating a parrot. the parrot's going to repeat the same things and then take a dump on the "new york times." their views on the integrity of the election, biden is for it, trump is against. it was a good debate. the candidates had a product thproducttive give-and-take, no, it was terrible. i'd call it a nightmare, but at some point during a nightmare you get some sleep is. we were talking about whether to move to vancouver or montreal.

if you missed the debate tonight, basically did went like this. >> vote now. make sure you in fact let people know. >> he doesn't want to answer the question. >> i'm not going to answer the question, because -- >> why wouldn't you answer the question? radical left -- >> will you shut up, man? >> who is on your list, joe? >> jimmy: trump treated chris wallace like eric asking for more lunch money. you know it's heated m moderator says let's return to the topic of race. team trump also stirred up a lot of qanon-sense. he demanded that an inspector be brought in to check inside the ears of each candidate to make sure there were no transmitters in them, for real. this is what donald trump does, accuses the other guy of

something insane and acts like it's suspicious when the other guy ignores it. have you looked inside a 77-year-old guy's ear? it's like a chewbacca reunion in there. he's called for biden to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs. what biden is doing is called reading. you should try it once in a while. but the president was looking for any excuse that he could get his baby-sized hands on. he released all his dogs to attack biden's mental faculties, including rudy giuliani, the guy who puts mensch in dementia. >> i've talked to doctors, i've had them look at a hundred different tapes of his. >> the biden folks say he's fine. >> he can't recite the pledge of

allegiance, and he's fine? >> jimmy: there's no proof to this claim. i hope he never has to see his boss try to sing "god bless america." ♪ god mess america " ♪ land that i love ♪ stand beside her ♪ and guide her ♪ through the night with a light from above ♪ >> jimmy: you him at "sdand beside tand besid" the telltale signs of add raleigh bus may include being overly talkative, check. secretive behavior, check.

>> yeah. well, that's why i started making lists of the pros and cons for each candidate. >> jimmy: that's a good idea. can you take us through that? can you show us the list? >> oh, yeah, sure. for biden, under cons, i have old, teeth too shiny, uses gross words like malarkey and seems like he eats persimmons to soften his stool. >> jimmy: all right, what do you have for pros, daniel? >> let's see, sane, knows how to form a sentence and isn't a racist. >> jimmy: all right, what about donald trump? >> okay, under cons, very also old, is racist, is a narcissist, sexual predator, liar, con man, inept and kind of blobby looking. >> jimmy: all right, now what about the pros? >> oh, i don't have any pros. >> jimmy: there are no pros for

donald trump. >> >> nothing comes to find. >> jimmy: shouldn't that tell you that you might not want to vote for him? >> it should. but for some reason, it doesn't. >> jimmy: so how will you make a decision then? >> i guess the same way i decided to marry my wife. i'll flip a coin. heads biden, tails trump. >> jimmy: that doesn't seem like a great way to decide. and? >> that's weird. >> jimmy: what? >> it landed on its edge. hey, maybe i could swallow it and see which side comes out first. >> jimmy: why don't you do that and then let us know, okay? thank you, daniel, daniel hopkins, everybody. that's [ applause ] that's not covid-19 approved. joe biden released his tax returning for 2019. he paid around $300,000, which is just about

trump paid. the "new york times" got their hands on a bunch of years of the president's tax returning. did you know a man who got paid $500,000 to do a double stuff oreos commercial just nominated for someone for the supreme court. in 2005 he got paid $100,000 to record a bunch of ring tones. somebody actually posted the footage of the recording session of this on youtube, and i'd like you to stop now and imagine hearing this every time someone called you on the phone. >> this is donald trump. i have no choice but to tell you, you're getting a phone call. >> jimmy: that was perfect, donald. give us is the next one. >> this is donald trump telling,

this is donald trump telling you to think big and live large. and also, answer your phone while you're at it. >> jimmy: that was, is you really nailed that one. let's try one more. >> i'm donald trump, i'm donald trump reminding, whoops. i'm donald trump reminding you that timing is everything, and it's time for you to pick up your phone. >> jimmy: that's right. timing is, see, now that's a perfect call right there. speaking of perfect. the geniuses at the trump campaign had a little snafu this afternoon. hours before the debate started, they sent this e-mail to supporters, from donald trump, request the subject, i finished debating joe biden. now they sent that the at 2:29 in the afternoon u thr, three a half hours before the debate started. we went on the street yesterday, this was yesterday, the debate was still 24 hours away, but did that stop people from claiming to have seen it?

no, it did not. as you will see in tonight's edition of "lie witness news." [ applause ] >> the debate on tv last night. who do you think was better, trump? or biden? >> trump. >> were you surprised last night at the beginning of the debate when president trump pulled up on that motorcycle? >> absolutely. >> what did you think? >> sbloout absolute ly. >> describe it for people. >> i know he was on it. i seen him. he was like revving it a little bit, which was pretty great, and that, that's what i enjoyed. >> yeah. >> did the fonzie thing. >> exactly. >> what was your favorite moment of the debate? was it when trump pulled up on the motorcycle? when kanye west pulled the microphone out of joe biden's

hand or when joe biden bit trump's arm. >> kanye. you did it? you actually did did? >> joslin, last night was the big presidential debate. i'm sure you watched. >> yeah. >> when president trump and joe biden tried to do a tiktok dance, what did that look like to you? >> i mean, it just looked like they were trying to be a tiktoker, i guess. you know? >> yeah, what did joe biden look like? >> he was kind of like being, he was very stiff. >> yeah. >> trump had more fun with it. >> did joe biden go too far when he called president trump a no of good stinky loser? >> absolutely. >> how did you file when he called him that on the debate stage? >> i was frustrated and enraged. >> anything you want to say to vice president about calling donald trump a no good stupid doody loser? >> you need to stop calling our

president. >> a no good. >> scum ball. >> doody loser. >> jimmy: et cetera. you know what? we're all very frustrated tonight. but we have a very special show, cal penn is with us, music from haim, and we'll be right back with senator bernie sanders.

wouldn't. >> jimmy: you were a subject early on in the debate. th they talked -- >> i heard that. i heard that. >> jimmy: did you feel that joe biden was distancing himself from you in some ways? >> look, i've been in a number of debates in my life, and taking on trump, who is a bully, who is a liar, who doesn't even respect the rules of the debate is very, very difficult. but i think biden made a number of very, very important points tonight. while trump continues to lie in an incredible way. >> jimmy: how often do you spoke to joe biden? >> every now and then. joe and i have known each other for a long time. i'm working as hard as i can to see that he gets elected. we have held a number of virtual rallies. i'll probably be hitting the

road fairly soon for him. i happen to think, and i think people saw this tonight, in donald trump we have the most dangerous president in the history of this country, somebody who not only lies all of the time, jimmy, but really doesn't believe in science. i think you saw that it tonight, despite what he was saying about how wonderful and great the united states is doing in terms of the coronavirus pandemic, we have the highest death rate per capita of almost any country on earth. we have no national policy. we have a president who continues to reject science. that's true for the coronavirus. that is true for climate change as well. and what we need, and i think biden will give us, is a government that at least listens to science and develops legislation based on science. not somebody who

or makes fun of scientists. >> jimmy: it did seem like he was trying to distance himself from the new green deal. is that just politics that he's playing? >> well, look, jimmy, his views are different from mine. i happen to believe in the green new deal. joe's views are different. but the truth is. a, he understands the climate change is an existential threat to the planet. and b, the point that he made is right. whether you agree with the green new deal or you take another approach, he has another approach. he has prepared to invest trillions of dollars in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy sustainability. and when you do that, you can lead the world in moving away from fossil fuels, save the planet for our kids and grandchildren, and also create millions and millions of good-paying jobs. think about the jobs that we can

create as we weatherize homes and buildings all over america, as we move towards more green transportation system, changes in agriculture, investments in solar, wind and other sustainable energy. biden is absolutely right and trump is wrong. in terms of job creation, going in the direction of combating climate change and investing in sustainable energy, that is the economic, smart thing to do. >> jimmy: do you think these televised debates are constructive? >> i'll tell you something. if you stop and think about it, i don't think tonight was a great night for america, and i think i was probably not the only person yelling at the tv. you know, if you stop and you think, jimmy, and you say, all right, look, let's calmly talk about what are the real issues facing the american people? we have 90 million americans who are uninsured or underinsured. we spend far more per capita on

health care than the people of any other country, and we are the only major nation on earth not to guarantee health care to all people as a human right. that's a real problem. >> jimmy: trump keeps saying that he is going to take care of people with preexisting conditions. >> that's a lie. that's an absolute lie. >> jimmy: we know it's a lie, of course it's a lie, and of course trump, one way or another, we won't see him again after four years. what about the senators and the representatives who go along with this? do they think that we're going to forget about this in two years when there are millions of people who can't get health insurance anymore? >> you raised a very important point. it's one thing to talk about trump. but i will tell you what has really surprised me is the cowardice of my colleagues in the united states congress. with very few exceptions. very few. they have allowed themselves to be intimidated by donald trump.

and, in terms of health care, the simple truth is, and trump, i think, could not even deny it tonight is he is now in the courts trying to end the affordable health care act which will throw at least 20 million people off the insurance they have. he says we have a plan. he's been president for almost four years. where is the plan other than throwing people off the health care they have and doing away with preexisting conditions. and in terms of prescriptions, of course we pay the highest price. pharmaceutical industry is a bunch of crooks. but all trump has done is come up with bogus executive orders. he does not have the guts to take on the pharmaceutical industry, something if the democrats gain control of the united states senate, which i hope very much happens. i'm going to be chairman of the sub committee on health, trust me, we will take on those crooks

in the pharmaceutical industry. >> jimmy: speaking of cowardice. i don't know if anything surprises us anymore. but i wonder if you were surprised when specifically asked if he would denounce white supremacists that the president dodged it and did not, did not do that? i guess, i, had's hait's hard t shocked anymore, but that was shocking to me, it felt like he left that sentence uncompleted. >> and it doesn't give me any pleasure to say this. you have a president who is, in fact, a racist. and he has been using race for a very, very long time. in trying to divide the american people up. and he's not only a racist. he is a zen phone. god only knows the attacks he's made on the latino community.

he is a religious bigot, and this is who we have as president of the united states right now. and that is why, you know, people say, well, bernie, why are you supporting joe biden. you disagreed with him on health care. you disagree with him on that issue. and the answer is that it is absolutely imperative that we get rid of the most president in the history of the united states of america. this is a guy who continues to say he hey not lose office. you want to be shocked, jimmy? what about learning that you've got a guy in office now who says maybe i will lose the election, so what? that doesn't mean i am going to lose office. because as you know, everything is fraud linulent. if i lose, by definition everything is rigged. the american people have got to make it clear. and i say this to republicans, and i say it to independents, not just democrats. if you believe in democracy, if you believe in the constitution and in the rule of law, trump

has got to go. because he does not believe in the law.

>> jimmy: have you ever seen a more brazen display of hypocrisy than lindsey graham saying he will vote to confirm a supreme court nominee, like six weeks before an election? >> and this is after he told us in front of the whole world, he said i will never to that, mark my words. >> jimmy: use my tape against me, he said, yeah. >> yeah, it is, look, the hypocrisy is extraordinary. and it is so sad, because this is why the american people are losing faith in the political process. and, you know, the problem with the supreme court nominee is not only what she will do after she gets on the bench if she does. it is this entire process by which four days, we think, four days before the election, the republicans hope to have a vote on getting her confirmed.

so the american people, in four days will be voting for a president who has the power to make those nominations, and they want to rush this thing through. it is an outrage, and the hypocrisy is extraordinary. and here's the point, and i think some of my colleagues have been making. i know a lot of people think, well, supreme court nomination, it's an obstractihon. there is no doubt that she will vote that the afrdable care act is unconstitutional. if you are a woman and you think you have the right to control your own body, which i certainly agree with that, that right may be threatened. if you are a worker who thinks you have certain rights on the job, those rights may well be taken away as well. so it's a big deal, and it concerns me. >> jimmy: if the democrats win

the senate, would you support adding more justices to tip the scales back? >> well, let me say this. chuck schumer's the democratic leader, said all options are on the table, and i agree with him. this is what i believe absolutely, jimmy. i think at a time when so many people have lost faith in the political process, which is why trump does as well as he does. people say, nobody really cares about me, democrats don't care about me, republicans don't care about me, rich are getting richer. i'm getting poorer, my kid can't afford to go to college, ip wwh cares about me? i'm just an average working stiff. if the democrats do not come up with an agenda greatly expanding health care, to make it clear that health care is a human right, not a privilege, raising that minimum wage to at least 15 dollars an hour, making sure women get equal pay for equal work, creating millions of jobs

by dealing with climate change and transforming our energy system, making college available to all kids, so that they don't have to leave school deeply in debt. if we cannot stand up for the working families of this country who are right now struggling, so hard. people are trying to put food on the table. trying to feed their kid, trying to not get evicted from their homes. if we can't stand up for those people and take on the powerful special interests, then, you know, the democratic party will have me to contend with. >> jimmy: speaking of the special interests, senator -- [ applause ] -- i make a lot of money. i make millions of dollars, i pay about half of that in taxes. i don't understand how it's possible that donald trump gets away with, with paying 750 and less in taxes. >> there are two reasons. two possible reasons, jimmy, both of which may end up being true.

number one. trump lied a whole lot and instead of being a successful businessman, he may in fact have lost substantial sums of money for many, many years. that's possibility number one. possibility two more likely, he is a tax cheat and ends up paying less in income tax than the average worker would be paying. tonight, you know, trump denied the charge. the "new york times" had a detailed expose, paid $750 for the last two years, he said no, no, i paid millions of dollars. well, mr. trump, if you paid millions of dollars, you can help us all understand that. release your tax returns! >> jimmy: seems very simple, doesn't it. >> [ applause ] very simple. >> very simple. by the way, bottom line here is the tax system is totally corrupt. you've got major corporation after major corporation paying virtually nothing or nothing in taxes, and that has got to be changed as well.

>> jimmy: and they call you a socialist, yes? so what do you say to, i see on online people who supported you for president, who say i'm not going to vote for joe biden. he's not going to do the things ha that i want him to do. i'm going to write in, vote for a third party or not vote at all. what do you say to those people? >> jimmy, i would say that that is a very, very serious miss ach take. you have to be political, you have to be tactical. please understand, that the very essence of american democracy is at stake in this election. the future of the planet is at stake with a president who rejects science on climate change. the racial divisions in this country will only grow wider with a president who is a

racist, and to those people who say that, let me just say this. i am in the united states senate. and here's pry promise to you. the president believes biden will not be a dictator. if i have anything to say about it, we're going to bring forth the most programive legislation, standing up for working people, standing up for senior citizens for our environment, for criminal justice. we are going to bring forth sweeping reforms that i think will allow the american people to regain faith in the, in other democracy. >> jimmy: one last question, senator, if you will. trump said, he claimed he spent $70,000 on his hair. much to are you spending on your hair on an annual basis? >> uh clearly not enough. that's for sure. >> jimmy: actually, now that everyone's got this covid hair, all of a sudden, yours doesn't look so nutty.

put on your serious face. that was the learning curve i think. just like keeping certain things to yourself. >> jimmy: is joking around discouraged? >> not at the time, no. look, what i liked about it was people had a decent sense of humor. you knew when it was time to focus and when it was time to joke around. >> jimmy: when you worked for obama, did you spend much time if with joe biden? you met him. we have a photograph of the two of you together. >> that was my idea, like you got your shades on you, cause i do. no, i didn't spend that much time with him. my job was mostly outreach to young people, which i enjoyed especially because it was, most people agree on a lot of policy issues unlike what you're seeing today where there's a huge generational shift. a lot of them are into science and climate change and health care policy and all that. my job was a little different. >> jimmy: has biden seen "harold

and kumar"? >> god. >> i hope so. >> jimmy: you didn't discuss it with him? >> we didn't discuss it. >> jimmy: if harold and kumar fought bill and ted, who would win that fight? >> are bill and ted the same age they were in the >> jimmy: the original ages. yeah. >> original both? i think i take ted, but bill takes john. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so tell me about this show. what's the plan for the show, and how long are you doin' it? >> yeah, so six episodes. the idea for it was myself and my writing partner, thought like hey, we love shows like "t"the daily show" and samantha bee.

what if you combined it with a cbs sunday morning where every episode makes you feel very good about the world. it's a late night format, monologue-fueled piece and then the next about items. the first is about the youth vote, the second is about education and technology. >> jimmy: you had hillary clinton on tonight, right? >> we did. we had secretary clinton on tonight. all of our guests, interesting. the next two episodes, tonight secretary clinton, next jonathan adler, member of the federalist society. they advise the current president on his supreme court picks. and what we liked about these two guests is we want to offer young viewers an opportunity to access people with institutional memory. so there are plenty of great shows out there if you want an immediate reaction to policy and politics. if you're a first-time voter, how do you consider the whole

playing field before you know where to plug in. secretary clinton was amazing with her time. bill nye. >> jimmy: it's called "kal penn approves this message." if i saw ramen bors lee know on the menu, i would order it in a minute. it sounds delicious. we'll be right back with haim. >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by mercedes benz, the best or nothing. i'm to help california's 19 most vulnerable. over 24,000 homes were destroyed by wildfires in less than two years. too many of those victims are also hit with a sudden tax hike after their forced to move.

it's wrong. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims and limits taxes on seniors and severely disabled homeowners. join firefighters and emergency responders in voting 'yes' on 19.
