appreciate your team. right now on jimmy . based on all of this, the people of georgia are angry. mr. president, the challenge you have, is the data you have is wrong. >> do you think it's possible that they shredded ballots in fulton county, do you know anything about that? >> no. >> you sure? ryan? >> i'm sure. >> you know what they did, and you are not reporting it. you are a lawyer, you are not allowed to give faulty election results. you are not allowed to do it and that's what you have done. the people of georgia know it's a scam. people will vote negative because they hate what you did to the president.

♪ "jimmy kimmel live." >> jimmy: hello. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of this house. thank you for watching from wherever you may be. this is our first show of the new year. an exciting new year. 2021 is in, 2020 is out. i have been bubbling with optimism. ready for a return to normal life. and here i am, doing a show from the kitchen again. because there's a deadly virus that seems to have taken permanent residence in l.a. i think it lives across the street from me. in kendall jenner's old house. i also chopped the tip of my finger off on christmas eve. cutting a wheel of parmesan. so, good times. our daughter jane, who is 6, asked us last night if we could throw a "i hate the virus" party when this is over. we said not only can you have the party, you can drive us home from it afterward. my hope, and i'm not kidding. this is not a joke. my reasonable hope is that this lockdown ends when "the bachelor" ends.

march 15th. things are bad here in southern california. the hospitals are full. ambulances are driving around in circles trying to find open beds for their patients. frontline workers are dying. and our president does not care at all! yesterday, he wrote, "the number of cases and deaths of the china virus is far exaggerated in the united states because of @cdcgov's ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. 'when in doubt, call it covid.' fake news!" can we put him in a straitjacket already? with a whole roll of duct tape over his mouth? while most of us are back to reality today, donald trump is further from it than he's ever been. trump skipped out on his annual new year's eve bash at mar-a-lago. he abruptly went back to washington to work on the coup he's been plotting. but the party went on.

led by boy wonder djtj. who partied the year away with rudy giuliani and music from vanilla ice. ♪ >> jimmy: well, at least now we know what hell looks like. don jr. doesn't even know the words to vanilla's one hit song. look at this. >> jimmy: astrophysicists are calling that the first-ever evidence of a white hole. imagine rapping along to "ice ice baby" and going "i'd better get out my phone. people are gonna wanna see this." so now we wait two weeks to see how many people go to the vanilla i.c.u. as a result of this party. one of my new year's resolutions was to spend less time thinking about donald trump- and it was

going pretty well until yesterday afternoon. he had another perfect call over the weekend. the washington post released a recording of an hour-long phone call, during which donald trump can be heard pressuring and threatening the georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, urging him to overturn the results of the election. i listened to the whole thing twice. it was like a surprise taylor swift album. this guy, brad raffensperger, is a republican, who says he voted for trump twice! good goin', brad! according to cnn, the white house made 18 attempts to get raffensperger on the phone before he finally picked up. that has to be the record for most times someone has screened a call from the president, right? and this is some call. trump claimed, among many other things, that there is no way he could have lost georgia because he had bigger crowds than biden. as if it was some kind of dueling monster truck shows.

he brought up all kinds of crazy things he says he's been "hearing" on trump media. it was the kind of call that makes you wonder, "is he stupid or drunk?" and then you remember he doesn't drink. trump tried everything. he bragged, he challenged, he threatened. he told the secretary of state he would come to georgia and eat all their peaches. nothing. neither raffensberger nor his lawyer, ryan germany, were buying any of it. they just kept saying the information you have is not correct. so trump hung up and tried to sell his b.s. someplace else. >> we have a sgie on the phone in florida, held had oh, we appreciate the time and the call. so, we have spent a lot of time on this this, and if we could just go over some of the numbers, i think it's pretty clear that we won substantially in georgia, and they are removing machinery and they are moving it as fast as they can.

both of which are criminal -- >> but i mean, for you, the family, the show, the kids -- >> i'm notifying you that you are letting it happen. all i want to do is this, i want to find 11,780 votes which is one more than we have, because we want to say. >> we want to apologize for that. so that went south quickly. terribly, terribly sorry for that. we will just say our apologies, and he got excited and at least i can say -- >> the other people, dead people, so dead people voted. >> jimmy: that's what he should be doing. selling smoothies on qvc. and of course, many prominent republicans are furious, but not at the president, of course. no, that would be dangerous. they're mad at brad raffensberger for taping the call. and trump has already filed a lawsuit against raffensperger for releasing the tape. because of course he has. he really is the weakest, whiniest little dictator imaginable.

that call was pathetic. and it's interesting. you know, during the last perfect call, the one trump got impeached for, republicans lined up and said "we can't impeach! congress shouldn't decide who's president. the people should decide!" and now, these same congresspeople are like, "wait? the people decided on biden? in that case, let's let congress decide!" carl bernstein, the reporter who broke the watergate scandal back in the '70s, said what the president said on this tape was, "far worse than watergate." but i guess trump figures, "i've only got two weeks left, what the hell?" this note was added to the president's official "schedule" today. "president trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. he will make many calls and have many meetings." he will be a very good boy and not throw cheeseburgers at any member of his staff.

all he cares about is staying in office. because when he does leave office, he may very well be forced to do this. the 46th president of the united states. >> but the whining has just begun. >> this is a fraud on the american public. >> get ready for baseless allegations and dumb conspiracy theories from our soon to be expresident and his cry-baby sons. >> it's corruption, it's not fair. >> they are putting up pizza boxes on the windows. >> all that and more. somebody call a whambulance, donald trump is the sorest loser. every day from now until prison, on nbc. >> jimmy: it started on nbc and it'll end on nbc. so that's what's up with ebeneezer stooge. but it's not all bad news. one of many things we have to be thankful for in the new year is a new season of "the bachelor,"

which, as of tonight, is officially underway. bachelor matt james met 32 women tonight. and one of them, a marketing manager named katie, brought an unexpected gift. you know, this pandemic was really hard for me, and this just really got me through a lot. >> hm-mm. >> and i was hoping to pass the torch to you, but -- >> >> jimmy: that's a sex toy she's holding. looked like she was robbing him at vibrator-point. i hope she brings that to the hometown visit. that would be fun for mom. but the award for worst first impression tonight was not to a plastic body part, that honor went to a young woman named victoria. who is just, terrible. queen victoria is here, i know i'm so confident and i'm so fun and i know i made a good impression. so, i just want to like put my best foot forward. ah!

>> jimmy: the new season of "the crown" looks hilarious. this victoria is obviously part of the show because her personality is terrible. she called herself "the queen" over and over again. and it would it appear that "the queen" didn't fare so well on the analogy portion of the s.a.t. y'all have not made it any easier being gorgeous and great people. so, it's like drinking through a fire hose. it's trying -- >> drinking through a fire hose i never heard that expression? is that southern? >> it's a general trying to take on a lot of information at one time time, if you open a fire hose, it's impossible to drink out of the fire hose. >> but i'm like the best fire hose, so i will make a good drink for you. >> jimmy: okay, thanks, goodbye. matt did give "queen victoria" a rose, the final rose. which was a real slap in the face to the 8 normal women who got sent home 12 hours after being forced to quarantine for

2 weeks. i will ask matt about this moments from now. but first, it's time for our opening night tradition. my wife molly is very good at predicting who will win these shows. she has now correctly predicted eight of the last eleven winners on "the bachelor" and "bachelorette." people rely on her for this had information. and so we go to her live now. in another part of our home, oh, there's jane, hi, jane, hi, molly. >> hi, how is it going? >> where are you right now? >> we are in the addition to home, the santa tent for jane. it lives permanently in our home. >> jane, do you know what mommy is going to do right now? no? >> it's important before we start, jane, to know we don't judge people unless they are on reality tv the, right? >> jane, you know what reality tv is? no?

okay. well you will find out now. all right, here we go. >> so, this was tough, there's a lot of great women. 32 women, i had to figure out in like an hour and a half. but these are promising picks. chelsea from new york just like him, a run-way model. run-way model is good. sarah, broadcast journalist. has nice oranges. this is serena-p, canadian, have to love a canadian. >> jane, her last name is p -- >> yeah, her last name is p that's daddy's humor. and then we have two women, these are sleepers they have not said much but they can surprise us, they are both pretty and attorneys. kristin and the -- >> all right. >> this was billy's pick, he ran out, spiderman. >> that is spiderman. he is not in the running. >> we like him, right? >> hm-mm. >> yeah, and this woman, her name is mauri, she is like the kardashian of the house, that means she will probably go to

the fantasy suite. these are the top three picks. this woman was the first one you out of the limo, her name is bree, and she has a single mom, doesn't trust love just like him. matt called her incredible. but he also called nine other women incredible but she was the first. bree, she will be in the top three. >> bree is in the top three. >> and this is a hard woman to beat. this is abigail, she got the first impression rose. he called her a fighter because she ises deaf. which is very impressive. and he kissed her right on the mouth. i know. yeah. so, i think abigail will be up in, probably in top two. hard to beat, but i think it will be rachel. because this rachel kind of a cross between mila can kunis an joey king, i think this is our

pick, rachel. right? >> i don't know what you are talking about. >> i don't know what i'm talking about either, that makes two of us. these are the top three, rachel, abigail, and bree and i just notice they all have kind of the same haircut -- >> yes. >> in fact, they all have kind of the same hair. >> what do you think of that, jane, you just got bangs, right, jane? >> yes. >> jane just got bangs we are excited about her new look for the year. it was her choice. >> already, well there you have it, so, who did you say rachel is going to be the? >> yes, i think it will be rachel. >> yes, and there had you go. rosetrodomous has spoken. thank you. >> you are so welcome. >> where is -- >> he ran out, he a temper tantrum because we could not find his t--rex. >> and throwing things. >> the brand new bachelor matt james is with us. we have music from machine gun

you do your show in brooklyn. i am grace dixon, mr. dixon's daughter is one of my best friends and we went to college together and i grew up with her boyfriend. so, any time you are in town, i'm an honorary guest and i got a chance to meet you then. >> i want to give a back story this mr. dixon you mention, we call him baby doll, he is my agent. he is a super agent. and he and this is what i remember and i don't know if you even know this. this has gone on for years now. so, he introduced me to you. >> okay. >> back stage, and you know, you were there with a bunch of kid, friends of his daughter and you seemed like a nice guy and you started to tell me about the organization you run. tell uses about the organization that you run. >> abc food tours, it'sstablish the lower east side, we take

students on if food and fitness tours and introduce them to culture through different eating and fitness experiences and now we have allocated that to working with fortune 500 programs and programs that grace dixon is spearheading and the family is growing tighter. >> i heard about it and i thought, sounds great, sounds liking a nice thing you are doing and knowing that baby doll is a little tight when with it comes to charity, not when it comes to buying himself things. oh, then he is quite loose. he is a member of many, many country clubs as you know, but, i said, baby -- we call him baby. i said if you donate $10,000 to matt's charity, i will match that donation. and he agreed. am i correct in saying he agreed to do that? >> he said, oh, jimmy, oh, jimmy, of course. >> yeah, and every three months or so, since then, i have checked in to say, ing to do the

the slip. let's show pictures of baby doll, in case people run in to him on the street. there he is smoking. there's with my aunt chippy smoking. here he is smoking alone in my home. there you see he is enjoying lobster. that money could have been given to your organization. there he is -- >> oh, my gosh. >> and this is the cover of his christmas card this year. there he is smoking through a little hole he poked in his mask. so, again, i would like to challenge james baby doll dixon to donate -- to give $10,000 and i will match it and let's see, we are going to stay on him for this. >> that, those pictures could not be more accurate portrayal of when he is out. that is hilarious. >> you um, so, let's get to the bachelor, talk about this. because i cannot think of a better situation dating wise, normally this is a nightmare. but in this particular case,

with covid going on, you somehow have been blessed with the opportunity to have 32 women who have all been tested and quarantined for two weeks brought directly to you. like a king. like a shah or something. >> well, as you saw, there's a queen there, so it's fitting. you know? >> and it's funny because, yeah, at the beginning you gathered everyone around for a prayer and that was a smooth move by the way. i mean, i'm sure you are sincere about it. that knocked some of those women for an absolute loop, they didn't know what to do with themselves. some of them were like, would it be inappropriate for me to throw my underwear on him right now. so, you got all these women. and they are all of course, in love with you the moment they step out of that limo. one steps on out with a vibrator. one steps out with a purse full of meatballs, which by the way,

i thought that was strong, i thought. >> i liked that. >> and the woman who, victoria, who calls herself the queen. was it difficult for you to not throw up on her when she announced -- when she said yes, queen? >> to be honest with you, i appreciated everything about victoria's entrance and who she was because whatever you need to do to stand out and she did it. and i remembered her name and it was light-hearted and it made me, it broke the ice. you know, it's such a tense situation and i was nervous and when she comes on out with everything that she is, it just, you know, it put a smile on my face and it brought less tension to the night. >> did you, do you think she was popular with the other gals? >> i know she was popular with the otherer girls? >> she was, really? i guess we will see how it plays out. i was wondering if when you gave her the rose at the end, if that was one of those things where the producers say, i know she is

awful, but please, we need to keep -- we need to have a couple of bad ones in the mix. >> no, that was not the case. she was great. i really enjoyed victoria. >> are you marrying her? >> alright, do you want to see who my wife picked? >> i would love to see it. >> i will be watching your face closely here, okay. >> okay. >> all right. the final three. >> bree. account on. she likes bree, and this is abigail. she likes abigail. and according to my wife, your bride will be rachel. your thoughts? >> i would love to know the thought process. >> i don't think there's a thought process. she just kind of looks at them, sometimes she, sometimes she picks before the show starts and she just looks at a picture and decides. and somehow, she gets it right,

i don't know. >> i will say that, your wife has great taste. your wife has great taste. >> all right, all right, we know that's not true. we, it's very good to see you. so, here's what we are going to do. the next time i see you, which will be at the conclusion of of the show, hopefully in person. we will make sure that we have got the $20,000, okay? >> deal. i appreciate you, jimmy, thank you. >> very good the see you, matt, that's matt james the bachelor, watch him monday nights making love to women left and right hear on abc, we will be right back with machine gun kelly.
