on jimmy kimmel >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- senator bernie sanders, soleil moon frye, and music from lord huron. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hi there, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here in hollywood. you know, cannabis, which is the french word for marijuana -- [ laughter ] has been legal for recreational use here in our state since 2016. before that, you had to pretend you had back problems. had to get a fake doctor's note. [ laughter ] and of course, many feared that legalizing it would lead to a crime wave or some kind of moral collapse. really, all it did was double the number of naps we take. [ laughter ] and our favorite gummies are no longer "bear." [ laughter ] gummies are like yoga pants now.

like every mom has them, right? [ laughter and applause ] legalized cannabis has been a resounding success pretty much everywhere, so now more states are following suit. as of yesterday, new jersey is the 14th state to say yes to drugs. [ cheers and applause ] the garden state is now growing weed. and it's fitting that this is happening in new jersey because there's no way that whoever designed their state flag wasn't high when they did it. [ laughter ] i mean, look at this. you got two women, one has a hat on a stick, a shield, a horse head, a knight's helmet or something like that, and a backdrop the color of my mom's kitchen in 1981. [ laughter ] they should make rolling papers out of this flag. pot won't be available for sale in jersey for a few months, but we have some experience with this here out west, so in the meantime, we came up with a few custom strain names for our friends in new jersey. this is our budtender, guillermo. [ cheers and applause ]

why are you pushing this in? guillermo, we've come up with some products that you folks in no one may enjoy when it is legal to sell them. first we have --laught ] fugh-edibles. bruce springstoned. dank sinatra. bud-a-bing. jersey turnpipe. and finally, ganja-gool! [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] we should push this onto the street, see how much money you can make. >> guillermo: i think i got to put it in my car. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: there you go. thank you, guillermo. next month, we'll do vermont. bernie is a good one from vermont. tonight, we will be joined by the senator, progressive icon, and mitten influencer, senator bernie sanders. [ cheers and applause ]

followed by soleil moon frye. my goal tonight is to get bernie to say "punky brewster." [ laughter ] president biden today held a virtual meeting with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. trudeau is almost thirty years younger than joe biden. the first 20 minutes of the call was him telling joe he's on mute. [ laughter ] the purpose of today's summit was to "reinvigorate" our relationship with our neighbors to the north and repair some of the damage caused by the previous administration. i'm glad. it's about time someone said "sorry" to canada for once. [ laughter ] this was the president's first virtual bilateral meeting. which sounds sexy but it wasn't. [ laughter ] next week he's planning a tiktok with angela merkel so that will be fun. [ laughter ] speaking of foreign leaders, remember back in 2019 when trump met kim jong-un in vietnam, they had a summit there? well, according to a former national security official, after the summit, trump offered to give kim a ride home on air force one. [ laughter ] for real.

he said, "it's fine, take eric's seat, we'll leave him here." [ laughter ] apparently the offer had to be rescinded because there weren't enough seatbelt extenders. [ laughter ] oh, and also, for that reason and also because kim jong-un is a murderer, so that too. what a ride that would have been. sounds like the premise for a movie. "seoul plane." [ applause ] save your comments, i know, it's the wrong korea. but "pyongang plane" doesn't roll off the tongue. [ laughter ] fatty labelle is getting back on stage this weekend. he'll be at cpac, the annual conservative political action conference. we haven't seen donald trump in a while. how much mcnugget rage weight do you think he's put on? [ laughter ] lindsey graham was hyping up trump's appearance on "hannity" last night. remember six weeks ago when lindsey said "count me out" and "enough is enough" of trump? well, neither does he. >> every republican should rally

around it. i think it will help us with independents. i've never felt better about president trump leading the party than i do right now. >> jimmy: really? then why do you look like you're about to barf up your grape nuts? [ laughter ] lindsey spent last weekend with trump at mar-a-lago so he has some insight as to what the great hair-dini might pull out of his maga hat next. >> any insight as to whether the president -- >> yes. >> -- has made up his mind about running in 2024? >> stay tuned. >> jimmy: okay, now i'm going to barf up my grape nuts. [ laughter ] can you imagine if we have to go through this again? if he comes back, you guys are on your own. [ laughter ] i'm going to live with hillary in the woods. mike pence, by the way, will not be attending cpac, even though they did reach out and assure him that he'd be safe from all the people who tried to kill him last month. cpac, if you don't know, is an annual event. it's like comic-con for neo-cons

and neo-nazis. this year, the festivities will be held in orlando. the theme is "america uncancelled." this is their big thing. which is interesting because yesterday, they canceled one of the speakers they had scheduled. [ laughter ] they the whited, we have just learned that someone we invited to cpac has expressed reprehensible views -- only one? [ laughter ] that have no home with our conference or our organization. the individual will not be participating at our conference. that individual was a rapper who i've never heard of called young pharaoh. young will no longer be appearing at cpac. after he tweeted "judaism is a big lie" that was "created for political gain." oops. sorry jared! [ laughter ] sorry, ivanka. but even without young pharaoh, they have a helluva lineup. some are saying this could be yeincluding colonel senator sanders! the crazy gun lady!

el senator ted cruz! the first public appearance of q! actors from the '70s you thought were dead! bourbon, the muppet they don't want you to see! chinless don jr. crazy larry kudlow. and crystal gayle. and bringing it all home -- the reason your family doesn't speak anymore -- president donald j. trump! no distance, no masks, be here in person! cpac 2021 only in orlando! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. crystal gayle? rudy giuliani is not on the list at cpac. he is no longer representing donald trump. and his next client could be himself. last month, rudy got hit with a $1.3 billion lawsuit from dominion voting systems. they're suing him for spreading misinformation about their machines. and apparently they had a heck of a time serving him with papers. you know, in order to sue someone you have to touch them

with the document to get the lawsuit going. but every time the process server got close, rudy would transform into a bat and fly away. [ laughter ] no, really. at one point, the server jammed the lawsuit into the door of an suv giuliani got into, but rudy's doorman grabbed an umbrella and pried it out onto the ground. you know, if they really wanted to get those papers to rudy, they should have had borat's daughter stuff them in his pants. [ applause ] meanwhile, jeff bezos is -- has an interesting next move. jeff bezos has reportedly expressed interest in purchasing the washington nfl team. he apparently got the idea to buy the team when he randomly found a billion dollar bill in his shorts. [ laughter ] if this happens, bezos would not only be the richest owner in the nfl, but also the one who looks most like a football. [ laughter ] all right, this is good.

i think we may have found the next jeff bezos. i mean that in the best way. she's a third grader and her uncle posted a story on twitter. it's quite a thread. a few weeks ago, sophia came up with a very clever way to lock herself out of zoom so she wouldn't have to sit through school. i am going to let her explain how she did it. maybe you want to try it yourself. joining us now, from elk grove, california, with her mom kairsten, 8-year-old sophia rollins. [ cheers and applause ] how are you? >> good. >> jimmy: i know you don't like zoom, so thanks for joining us. [ laughter ] so one morning, like millions of kids in america, you sat down to log in to online school. but instead of logging in, what did you do? >> well, i -- i logged out of my classroom.

after, like, five minutes. and did my password wrong a couple times. and it made it so i couldn't log back in, so i told my mom that school's broken. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: school's broken. so you figured out that if you enter the wrong password enough times, zoom would lock you out permanently, right? >> yes. >> jimmy: yeah. [ laughter ] then what would you tell your mom? >> i would tell her that, like, school's broken. it's not getting fixed. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: how long did this go on? >> it went on for about two weeks, almost three. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and during that two or three weeks, did you tell anyone what you were up to? tell your friends or anybody? >> no. i was -- after one week, i was going to tell my mom. but i thought i would get in so much trouble. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: right, that's how a lot of crimes happen. and kairsten, what did you think was happening? >> i thought it was legitimate zoom error.

i was calling i.t., talked to the teacher, had the computer teacher help us. it was so much work. >> jimmy: sofia, you were sitting there while the computer teach waters trying to figure it out, you knew you had a secret but you didn't share it? >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's good. so your daughter's skipping school at a ninth grade level. [ laughter ] how did you get caught, sofia? >> well, my mommy's friend cheri, she was in the corner at my house, and she was secretly watching me the whole time and saw me log out. >> jimmy: cherie is what we call a rat. [ laughter ] kairsten, when cherie told you what was going on, what did you feel, pride or anger? >> there were expletives. >> jimmy: yeah.

>> but i was a little proud she pulled it off. but mostly i was pretty mad. >> jimmy: does crime run in your family? [ laughter ] >> we're not allowed to talk about it. >> jimmy: and was there a punishment for this? >> yes. i had no tv for five days. >> jimmy: no tv for five days, but no school for three weeks, right? [ laughter ] what was it that you were learning when you decided, i'm getting out of here? do you remember the subject? that tipped you over the edge? >> well, it was just because no one was together, and i missed all my friends and teachers. >> jimmy: i don't blame you. you wrote an apology letter to your teacher. i think we have that, let's put that up on the screen. i'm so sorry that i logged out of school, i logged out and made a big problem, i made it so everyone was so worried about me, i feel horrible about it, i wish i did not do it, i will never, ever do it again, love, sofia.

p.s., i love you and i am soooooo, like 25 os, sorry. [ laughter ] yeah. i used your trick to get out of twzoom birthday parties already. [ laughter ] sofia, what job do you want to have when you grow up? >> i want to be a vet because i really like animals. >> jimmy: very good. how do you plan to get out of class now? >> i won't. >> jimmy: thank so much. one other thing. sofia, what do you say to other kids watching that might want to do the same thing that you did? >> do not do it because it's not fun in the end, at all. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, till you wind up on tv, i guess, right? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] the lesson is, crime pays. thank you, kairsten. thank you, sofia. let us know when you invent a vaccine, okay? [ cheers and applause ] we have a good show tonight.

[ cheers and applause ] our first guest tonight cares more about the american people than most of us care about ourselves. he is the new chairman of the senate budget committee. please welcome senator bernie sanders from vermont! [ cheers and applause ] hello, senator. >> great to be with you. >> jimmy: great to see you. [ cheers and applause ] are you in your office in d.c. or a hotel room in cancun right now? [ laughter ] >> well -- yeah. in d.c. >> jimmy: may i ask, when something like that happens to one of your fellow senators, does anyone bring it up? or do you pretend it didn't happen? >> depending on which side of the aisle you're on, it is brought up, yes. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it is brought up. are you enjoying being in charge of the budget committee? >> i am. it's a lot of fun because, as you can appreciate, the budget deals with all aspects of the federal government. in fact, all aspects of american life. and we intend to do a number of hearings, are trying to understand why the gap between the very rich and everybody else is growing wider, why half of our people are living paycheck

to paycheck, why so many of our people are uninsured or underinsured, and why many millions of people -- we're doing a hearing on this this week -- why season of our people, millions of people, are working for starvation wages. >> jimmy: let's talk about that. >> let's do it. >> jimmy: how long have you been trying to get the minimum wage raised federally? >> well, for many, many years. when i ran for president in 2016, i called for a $15 an hour minimum wage. at that point, hm, frankly, not a lot of people supported it. today the last poll that i saw had 61% of the american people in support. >> jimmy: i'm surprised it's not higher, actually, i really am. i think back to when i was in high school and making minimum wage working at a clothing store, a pizza place, $3.35 back then. i was looking through some of the states. it's $7.25 now. in the year 2021, people are making $7.25 an hour. these are not high school students. these are adults. these are people with families. >> jimmy, that's a very important point to make.

because there's a lot of misconceptions about that. i've been all over this country, and i honest to god can recall talking to working moms raising children, trying to do it on $10.50 an hour, and you can't do it. and you have a lot of people working for even less than that. these are adults, you know, they've got to pay rent, they need to have all the basic necessities of life, they need to feed their kids. and one of the great crises that we're facing is that so many of our people in the richest country in the history of the world are literally struggling to put food on the table. and we've got to change that. $15 an hour, and by the way, it's over a four-year period, is not a radical idea. you understand. you make 15 bucks an hour, you are not getting rich. >> jimmy: no. >> but at least, at least you have a shot to live with a minimum of dignity. you don't have to have all of the stress and pressure that's

on you right now trying to survive on starvation wages. >> jimmy: i've heard you talk about this. i think one of the interesting things is, because there are some people that say, well, how are you supposed to run a business if you have to pay all your workers $15 an hour? i won't be able to make it. i think probably in some cases that is true. but ultimately, when you pay your workers $7 an hour, we all wind up paying for it anyway. >> jimmy, that's an enormously important point and we're going to be discussing it this week at a hearing. here is the point, and i want everybody to hear this. right now you have walmart, which is the largest employer in america, owned by the walton family, who are worth $200 billion. they're the wealthiest family in america. and about half of their workers earn less than $15 an hour. their starting wage is $11 an hour. and when you are paying people starvation wages, those people need to get food stamps. they need to get medicaid. they need to get public housing, perhaps. they need help in order to survive.

and it is the taxpayers of this country, middle-class, working-class people, who are paying those taxes in order to subsidize the wealthiest family in america. and that is absurd. [ cheers and applause ] a multibillion-dollar family, the richest family in america, can afford to pay their workers living wages. >> jimmy: when you have these hearings, will members of the walton family be there, the ceos, can you compel them to come and explain? >> we can compel them but we're not compelling them now. at this point we've invited them. we've invited mcdonald's to be there. they will not be there. but interestingly enough, the head of costco will be there. >> jimmy: that's because costco is the best. [ cheers and applause ] >> costco is a company that has a very different business model than walmart or many -- dollar general, other large companies. they respect their employees. there's nobody working for costco that makes less than $15

an hour. and the morale of their employees is high. the turnover is low. and that company is a sensible business approach. >> jimmy: and it makes the pest people want to go work at costco. >> absolutely. you know, when worker morale is high, when there is not absenteeism, when there is not turnover, it makes for a better company. and a well-run company. and i think they are proof of that. >> jimmy: when you are chairman of the budget committee, do you enjoy banging the gavel? [ laughter ] and is the gavel your gavel, or a community gavel that has been there? >> that is a good question. i think i probably end up wi&-p. [ laughter ] one of the things, as i'm sure you're aware, the budget committee is now working really hard is on reconciliation, what

we call the reconciliation package. it is an effort right now, $1.9 trillion being pushed by president biden, which attempts to deal with the enormous crises, unprecedented crises, facing our country today. so what we are trying to do is to make sure that every working-class family in america, $75,000 for an individual or less, $150,000 or less for a family, including children, will get on top of the $600 they got last month, a $1,400 check. a family of four gets $5,600. we are expanding the child tax credit, which will cut childhood poverty in half in america. and that is no small thing. >> jimmy: no, not at all. and the highest-ranking republican in your committee is lindsey graham, who is -- is he someone that you can work with? because i'm trying to figure out what happened to him. [ laughter ] >> well, i will let senator

graham speak for himself. you know, we get along. you know, i'm chairman of the committee, and, you know, we are going to raise issues that historically have not been raised very often. so our job right now in reconciliation, and we hope to have something on the floor literally next week, is to address the health care crisis, the educational crisis, the mental health crisis. you know, you got kids -- i know you just about talking about it. you got kids whose lives have been disrupted. they haven't been to school. their social life has been impacted. enormous mental distress in this country. we got money in there to try to help that. so this is a very, very important piece of legislation that we hope to get past. as soon as possible. >> jimmy: that's right we met an 8-year-old who turned to a life of crime as a result of this. [ laughter ] all right, senator bernie sanders is with us. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: we're back. soleil moon frey and music from lord huron is coming up. senator bernie sanders is with us. may i say, you look better than i've seen you look in a long time, you look really good. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: have you been vaccinated? >> i have, actually. >> jimmy: we've been focused on covid for obvious reasons, but it seems attention has drifted away from health care, which is, of course, they're kind of one and the same, and so many people have died as a result of covid-19. i hope and expect that joe biden made you some promises in the area of health care in exchange for your enthusiastic support. >> well, the president and i have differences of opinion on health care. i do support medicare for all. i do think it's absurd that when we are spending twice as much per capita on health care as any other major country, we've got 90 million people who are uninsured or underinsured,

60,000 people die every year because they don't get to a doctor when they should, in some cases we're paying 10 times more for prescription drugs than they do in canada and some other countries. i believe it's time to take on the greed of insurance companies and the drug companies and pass medicare for all. what the president wants to do is expand the affordable care act, which is a step in the right direction and i'll work with them on that. but at the end of the day, i would hope that we conclude, health care is a human right, whether you're rich or whether you're poor. and the function of the health care system is to provide quality care for all, not to major huge profits for the insurance companies and drug companies. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: as far as the planet goes, who in your opinion is more responsible for the power outages in texas? is it aoc or windmills? [ laughter ] >> well, maybe the folks in texas might want to take a look

at what they have been doing for many, many years. but you know, the truth is what has happened in texas, what has happened in many parts of our country and around the world, tells us that in the long run, it will be much more expensive if we ignore the existential threat of climate change than if we transform our energy system away from fossil fuel. and by the way, i've been talking about the reconciliation package. that's number one. dealing with the emergencies that working families face now. and we hope to have that on the floor next week. but there's another bill coming down which will deal with the need to transform our energy system, create millions of good-paying jobs, combating climate change, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. some 10% of our workforce today is unemployed, we've got to put people back to work at good wages, and that's a good way to do that.

>> jimmy: how do you deal with the absurdity of something like blaming the power outages on windmills? these are people that you have to work with, and obviously they're just trying to distract us from the truth and from the real issues. but how do you deal with that as a human being? >> well, i'll tell you how. it's hard, it really is. look, i mean, a lot of republicans who are decent human beings, they're good fathers and mothers and everything else, but especially, you know, under trump, we have seen this country and the republican party move, to my mind, very far away from reality. and the fact that you've got colleagues of mine in the senate who refuse even today to acknowledge that donald trump lost the election. how do you deal with that? how do you deal with the big lies, how do you deal with conspiracy theories, how do you deal with a massive effort to undermine american democracy by claiming that, you know, that

the campaign, the biden victory, was a fraud, wasn't real? so it is -- it's not easy to deal with. i think what you're seeing right now is we are reaching out to republicans and saying, look, if you want to rebuild our infrastructure, come on aboard. you want to lower the cost of prescription drugs, you want to provide health care to all people, you want to raise minimum wage in this country? we'd love to have you. but if you are not prepared to come on board, we're going to go forward and do it alone. 50 votes plus the vice president, we can do it in the senate. we've got the votes in the house. that's what we intend to do. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: and you've got a gavel to hit them over the head if you need to. thank you, senator. bernie sanders, thanks for being with us!

>> hundreds, hundreds of hours of footage. and i just locked it away. a few years ago was wondering if my life had happened the way i remembered it. and so i unlocked the vault. and it was like unlocking pandora's box. >> jimmy: you started watching these videos. >> yes. >> jimmy: just for your own pleasure? >> i turned 40 and i really was wondering if my life had happened how i had thought it had. what i realized is i think that, on a subconscious level, there was so much joy and bliss and there was also a lot of pain. and i had lost some people that were very close to me. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and so i don't think i wanted to deal with the pain or i wasn't ready to deal with it. in unlocking pandora's box, i discovered true self-love and self-awareness in a way i never understood. >> jimmy: this would be a great documentary even if we didn't know who you are and other characters, but we know all of them.

you were friends with every kid actor from the '90s. i have a list year. >> there's a small group of us. >> jimmy: really long. mark gosler, brian austin green, stephen dorff, david arquette, leonardo dicaprio, tobi mcguire, jenny lewis, emanuel lewis, sara gilbert -- >> there's a lot of people. there's so many easter eggs. you're going to have to rewind the doc over and over to watch them all. >> jimmy: i was doing that, wait a minute, isn't that? >> it's so wonderful, though. really, we had such a joyful innocence, and a group of us who were truly authentic friends. >> jimmy: yeah, you can see that. >> you can see that, i'm so happy. >> jimmy: it's so strange for us to see that because you were different characters on different shows. then to see you together, it's almost like, you know, when laverne and shirley would visit "happy days" but for real. [ laughter ] >> i love that. >> jimmy: i thought it was interesting to see some of these people -- by the way, you know who seems like a great guy is brian austin green. >> yeah, he's amazing.

he's been such a dear friend. >> jimmy: to see these guys, mostly guys, looking at these videos, guys you were romantically involved with, guys who were just your friends, and really for people whose whole lives were recorded, were on television. we saw them grow up, but to really see them grow up. you can see how emotional they get looking at this stuff. >> thank you. this was pre-social media. we were able to live our lives and just be free and be ourselves, you know? and something that was so incredible for me was that i really loved people. i didn't realize how loved back i was by those people. and when you look at the world through one lens, to be able as a journalist to go back and look at all of the different perspectives, was awe-inspiring. >> jimmy: you seem like the center of the group. >> i mean, there was such an amazing group. and really, when i started the documentary, i didn't want it to be anything about me. i tried to make it about everybody but me.

it was going to be about the death of privacy, it ended up becoming the death of my own privacy, right? literally. i was going through it, kept turning in cuts. the question, what was the glue that brought it all together? then my dear friend sean told me about this documentary -- >> jimmy: sean penn. >> sean penn, who i have the honor of working with, thank you for all your support. he told me about this documentary, "sherman's march," it started as one journey and became another. i cut a full found footage version. i'd never watched all the tapes. i had to sit with hundreds of hours of tapes and audiotapes and live through the joy and also the heartbreak that happened along the way and the people that are no longer with us. >> jimmy: there's a lot of sweetness, too. we have a photo of you with mark wahlberg and will smith. how old are you in this picture? [ laughter and applause ] >> it's one of my teen years. >> jimmy: you lad a big crush on mark wahlberg. >> i did. >> jimmy: although it seems like you had the crush on will smith. [ laughter ] >> i think i had the crush on

both of them. pretty sure i was crushing on both. as you saw, i had a lot of crushes, i really did. you really see it throughout. there's things you know -- >> jimmy: punky and markey would have been a super couple that i don't think would ever have been topped. one of the great things in this documentary, and it is -- it's unvarnished, is you're on stage speaking to a big group of kids, like they used to do in the '90s, telling them "say no to drugs." you're really selling it. >> at that time, i basically was saying no to drugs. it was a few years later that -- >> jimmy: then we cut to you tripping on mushrooms. [ laughter ] >> one of my favorite moments in the entire documentary is our mushroom trip. i have to say. just saying, just keeping it real. here's the great part about it with my kids, right? i said, i've really been through things, kids. this was a way to show, i've really been through things, kids.

you talk about it, you don't always have it to show them. >> jimmy: it's a good way to get your kids to eat their mushrooms. >> exactly. [ laughter and applause ] >> i believe in honesty, and i believe -- you know, to show my daughters, who are also coming of age, and that i felt like i was coming of age again, to be able to share it with them, to be able to have these open lines of communication, for me, that was an incredible experience. >> jimmy: i believe in lying to my children. [ laughter ] >> that's okay, whatever works for you. whatever works for you. >> jimmy: we'll find out if it works. you are also doing a reboot of "punky brewster." >> yes. [ cheers and applause ] i feel like it's a continuation. because i'm still punky. it's like punky and i are rediscovering our punky power all over again. it premieres february 25th. >> jimmy: there is a little girl? >> there is a little girl, izzy, who reminds punky of herself. it's about coming of age again. freddie prinze jr. plays my

ex-husband and we have all these amazing kids. >> will we see any of those kids doing mushrooms? >> i don't think we see mushrooms but we deal with real topics in the same way that the original punky brewster dealt with real topics. >> jimmy: i loved that when they did that. >> we're doing that again, and i hope people can watch it. as a family. >> jimmy: people are going to love this, i guarantee it.
