watching. >> for all of us here, we appreciate your time. >> dicky: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, mark wahlberg, hunter biden, and music from the wallflowers. and now jimmy kimmel! hello. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. i hope you brought your laughter. we have a wall-to-wall show for you starting with mark wahlberg and ending with the wallflowers. and the secret service is in the building too. because, well, you know how donald trump was always asking where hunter is? he's here-in our building. he's been here the whole time! son of joe, hunter biden is with us. hunter is here to promote his new memoir in which he chronicles among other things his crack addiction.

this book is wild. he bought crack right here on our block. can you imagine that? crack in this beautiful neighborhood? that has to be fake news. anyway i have many questions for hunter. and since he's here, i will ask them. and hey you know who else is writing a book? mike pence. the former vice poodle is putting pence to paper. he signed a two-book deal with simon & schuster. i wonder if he knows they're a gay couple? a release date has not yet been announced but the title has it's "ass-kisser." i like it. simple and to the point. pence's publisher calls this "the definitive book on one of the most consequential presidencies in american history." oh, it was consequential all right! i agree with that. the book will cover not just pence's time in the white house but all of his life.

including traumatic family events like the time he saw mother without her bonnet. he even opens up about the time in college he experimented with almond milk. i can't wait. this will be the only time pages have gotten whiter after words have been printed on them. speaking of wild and crazy guys there's a new wrinkle in the ongoing drama surrounding florida congressman matt gaetz. federal investigators are reportedly looking into a trip gaetz took to the bahamas a couple of years ago and whether or not one of his associates paid travel and other expenses for female escorts. which would be a violation of sex trafficking laws. the cbs news report says gaetz was on the trip with a guy named jason pirozzolo who is a hand surgeon and marijuana entrepreneur. by the way if your hand surgeon is also a marijuana entrepreneur probably a good idea to learn to write with your feet. but a spokesperson from matt gaetz's office said "matt gaetz has never paid for sex." imagine having to tell your spokesperson to say that? "hey spokesperson.

tell them i never paid for sex." "you tell them." "no, i don't want to tell them. it's your job." "fine." we also learned today that another "friend" and "close associate" of gaetz seems likely to strike a deal with prosecutors. joel greenberg seen here with gaetz and pardoned criminal roger stone would seem to know a lot about gaetz's sextracurricular activities he is in hot water too and with that said, i present fritz scheller attorney-at-law- because you can't have a story like this without a lawyer with crazy hair. are. does matt gaetz anything to worry about? >> does matt gaetz have -- >> when it comes to what happened in court today some. >> you are asking me to get in to the mind of matt gaetz, right? >> well, from your mind.

>> from my mind. >> based on what your findings are? >> based on when my findings are. i am sure that matt gaetz is not feeling comfortable today. now might be a fun time to remind people of this tweet gaetz posted just before michael cohen testified in congress about trump. "hey @michaelcohen212 do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. i wonder if she'll remain faithful when you're in prison. she's about to learn a lot." oh, karma. you old rascal, you. >> your -- did your client introduce matt gaetz on any under age girls for sexual -- >> i'm going let you sit there and ignore your question. at least he's having fun with it. so good luck matt gaetz! maybe he just loves trump so much he wants to go to jail with him.

much of the country is opening back up whether we should or not. the state of georgia today lifted all remaining covid restrictions. which means georgians will now be free to get the virus anywhere, anytime. governor brian kemp said they decided to do away with the restrictions because "hard-working georgians cannot endure another year like that last." and if they get covid, they may not have to. it's always interesting to compare where we are now- to where we were twelve months ago. and with that said, it's time to fire up the time capsule for a peek at what was in the news one year ago this week in tonight's edition of "this week in covid history." this week in covid history, it's april 2020, prime minister boris johnson is in the hospital. the city of angels has the clean estimate air and everyone is held over heels for guy owner tier -- luck willy things are

starting to look up. >> we are inching closer and closer to beating this virus. >> it feels like we are seeing the light at the end of of the tunnel. >> there is light at the end of the tunnel. >> things are going well. >> hot diggity dog, light at the the end of the tunnel. >> it does not take away are from tomorrow or the next day will look bad. >> how bad is it going to get? >> the minimum number was 100,000 lives and i think we will be substantially under that number. >> less than 100,000 deaths. had no problem. >> if we can stay substantially under the 100, which was the original projection. i had think we all did a very good job. >> yes, great work, team. this has been this week in covid history. well, you know what they say, hindsight is infuriating. it's funny to me that even though we have all that stuff on tape with trump saying covid will be over by easter- predicting less than a hundred thousand deaths there are people

who still support him. even to the point where it damages them. mike lindell, america's favorite pillow merchant, claims that after retailers like kohl's and bed, bath, & beyond pulled his mypillows from their shelves his company has suffered a loss of $65 million in revenue. which is a lot. so i thought it might be interesting to check in with mike. and now from a location unknown mike lindell. mike, are you there? mike? i said, you know, if that means you are not a cow, that means i'm not a farmer? you try telling that to millions people who are honest, hard working people. >> jimmy: mike! it's jimmy kimmel, can you hear me? >> mr. president?!! >> jimmy: no! it's jimmy kimmel. >> who? >> jimmy: jimmy kimmel. >> i don't care for him! >> jimmy: well, i am him, and we are on the show and i have some

questions for you. mike. yeah, great, that's good. is it true mypillow lost 65 million dollars because of these conspiracy theories? >> that is so true. my company, mypillow which makes the most beautiful, soft foam rubber sacks stuffed with passion by white people in my home state of minnesota suffered a $65 million loss because left-wing media outlets have painted a picture of me as some kind of crackpot even though i haven't done crack or pot in years! >> jimmy: is it possible that people think you're crazy because you often say crazy things? >> now that's -- you better watch it or i'll get your i.p. address, punk! the only thing crazy i see is dominion! dominion is building voting machines that only cast ballots

for democrats, instead of what they should be working on. >> jimmy: which is what? >> which is robots that can tell if you're a gay! i've lost $65 million and i'll happily lose $65 million more if that's the cost of telling the american people the truth! and the truth is joe biden's dogs are covert operatives, here to steal state secrets and sell them to chinese burisma holdings- to buy these! q-tips! you know q? >> jimmy: yes. >> these are his tips! >> these are his tips! >> jimmy: okay, what was that you were saying about chinese burisma. >> holdings! why don't you ask your buddy, hunter biden about burisma holdings? what is burisma holding? and why won't anybody hold me? my pillows are guaranteed! >> jimmy: let's not focus on

pillows right now. i understand you're about to launch your own social media network, called "frank." what can you tell us about that? >> i can tell you everything about that. frank will have no content or content restrictions whatsoever! this is america and freedom means being free to post anything you want conspiracy theories! beheading videos! those tiktoks where the girls dance and make faces but don't move their feet! do you watch those? >> jimmy: no. >> holy hell do they make me hard! as hard as my pillows are soft! >> jimmy: okay, well -- >> i don't even need youtube or twitter any more because i called my nephew, judo, and said "make me a website that's better

than both of them and can handle a billion people!" and then the line went dead because my jitterbug phone is being shadowbanned by boost mobile! but judo's working on it and he'll have us up and running in 8 weeks! >> jimmy: i heard you're giving bonuses to people on your network if they can get kicked off youtube. is that true? >> that is true! i'm giving out bonuses to anyone kicked off youtube and anyone who gets kicked out of a starbucks for blowin' in a stranger's ear! >> jimmy: okay. >> have you ever seen those tiktoks where the girls dance and make faces but don't move their feet? holy hell do they make me hard! >> jimmy: well, it was good talking to you, mike. >> my kids haven't spoken to me since 2002! >> jimmy: i'm so sorry to hear

that. thanks for joining us, mike. hey, what's with the pigeons? >> the pigeons are a symbol of quality. every mypillow is stuffed with 100% new york city pigeon feathers, guaranteed! >> jimmy: that is -- disgusting. thank you, mike. >> ask your buddy hunter about the nano-bots in tom hanks' semen! >> jimmy: we have a very good show for you tonight, hunter biden is here. we have music from the wallflowers. and we'll be right back with mark wahlberg. alright, guys, no insurance talk on beach day. -i'm down. -yes, please.

but you know, i feel like you i learned a lot about crack. i know he that sounds weird. you hear about it and you see it on tv shows and you know, the news every once in a while. but i learned how to get -- i really think i could get it now thanks to your book. >> well, i hope that was not the message that you got from the book. insights n >> jimmy: it's not a how-too manuel? >> no, it's a please don't manuel. >> jimmy: no absolutely, listen, if somebody reads this book and then goes, i should try crack afterwards, well, then they -- >> yeah. they didn't finish the book. >> jimmy: no they didn't start or finish the book. >> exactly. >> jimmy: you, in fact, where we are situated right now, the rooseve roosevelt hotel is across the street from us and had you a bender? >> i was in every hotel in los angeles.

every motel and hotel until they would not have a room for me the next day. >> jimmy: one of the stories was that, you went down the block from us, and you looked for guy who is might be able to -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: get you something and then you wound up getting it and using crack with them? were they dressed as spiderman by any chance? >> no. we, maybe, i don't know. some things i don't recall exactly. you know, i wrote about vivid detail. the question that most addicts have a hard time answering and what everyone who is a non-addict wants the answer to is why, and the answer is it works at first, until it doesn't. and for me, it was important to be completely honest about the

entire experience. it was not a how-to manuel. >> jimmy: no, but it is a very vivid and detailed description of what it feels like to use crack. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and i mean, i have not used crack, but i do feel like i understand it now. and i did think it was especially interesting when you spoke, you wrote about the fact that, what happens the first time you use it is something you chase for the rest of the time you use it. it never is, it's never what it was that first time. >> ever, never. and that is like every drug. you know, i mean, to tell you the truth. the most insidious drug for me and i think for many people that deal with addiction is alcohol. but, crack brought me to a place that i had never had been to before. both in terms of the high, to be completely honest. but absolutely as it relates to the low. it was absolutely awful experience at the end. and it was an awful experience

throughout, after that first time, you live in in a lot of gult and shame. >> and also, it's very difficult, listen, we know you, you have had a lard life no question about it. right from, you know, from when you were very young, tragedy struck your family. and of course, you know, it's easy to draw lines from this to that or whatever. but there are definitely a chemical element, to addiction. >> yeah, what i wanted to write the book for was, to humanize people suffering from addiction. but also, i wrote the book in more than anything, it's a love letter to the people that are loving someone that is struggling with addiction. because it's so hard for them to understand why it is that their love just can't get through. why it is that if they just love them more, that somehow they would had be able to cure them. and the one thing that i found

to be more powerful than the most powerful love i knew which was my family, was my addiction. i hope this is, provides some people with some real hope that if they are just persistent and they continue, that when that person is ready to reach for that love, maybe they will be able to find their way out of that deep dark hole. >> jimmy: boy, was your dad persistent. i mean, very, very persistent. and i cannot imagine the nightmare that he must have been going through. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and then reading about your story about when you were a little boy and how you were around all these politicians that we now know and they call you in the office and you get to go, see these things and these are friends of your dads. and then, when you talk about lindsey graham being television and attacking you. he was considered a family friend and he is a friend of

your father's and how strange it is to see that happen. a person do that. >> it's really, more than anything, it's sad. the senate that -- my brother and i, you know, grew up in wilmington. my dad commuted every day. we knew the senate. he would a take us down and we had a rule. we could go with him at any time, anywhere that we wanted to. which sometimes we took a little too much advantage of. but we, but we saw my dad and got to become friends. well not as kids but they were like uncles. and you know, whether republican or democrat. politics has become so toxic. it has. and i think that the thing that i hope my dad is able to bring back is his genuine desire to take some of that toxicity out again. so, i had a deep respect for

senator graham. and it's just sad to see the way in which he has decided to, not just attack me. but to approach politics. >> yeah. but also the way he attacked you. you wrote in the book. i do want to talk about this, you know, the ukraine and ukraine and how it became some issue. it became something, i gave donald trump something to grab to. well he did get impeached as a result of it. but you wrote, did i make a mistake by taking a seat on the board of the ukrainian gas company? no. did i display a lack of judgment? >> no. would i do it again? no. >> i meant what i said and what i wrote. go to the beginning. i went to yale law school. i served on a dozen boards before burisma, i was a vice chairman of the board in amtrak, and chairman of the board at the world food program u.s.,

largest, supporting the largest humanitarian organization in the world. i had an expertise in corporate governance and i was a lawyer. which was how i was first approached. however, what i didn't take in to account was the way in which they would use the perception against my dad. and for that, i have, i would not do it again for that reason. >> jimmy: yeah. does it make you crazy when you hear had somebody like donald trump, jr., saying the only reason he is -- is because he is abide enand because of his last name, and how just, wildly comical that is? >> it is wildly comical. that is putting it lightly. i think. but, you know, i really, what i have learned is this, i don't spend too much time thinking about it. >> jimmy: i do, i think about it all the time. i will think about it for you. >> well, maybe is why. i have other people to think about it for me. i have other people to think

about it for me. >> jimmy: do you know donald trump, jr.? >> no. >> jimmy: you have never met him? >> not that i though of. >> jimmy: you say not that i know of. >> i have been in rough places. >> jimmy: i saw you talking about the laptop in interviews and it became a big thing and when you are asked if it's your laptop, you say, you don't don'd and that is hard to believe unless you read the book and then i'm revised you have shoes on. >> yeah, i made it today. pants were the problem. pants were the problem. yeah. >> jimmy: pants are always the problem. >> yeah. no, you know, look, i really don't know. and the fact of the matter is, it's a red herring. it is absolutely a red herring. i absolutely think within my rights to question anything that comes from the, from the desk of rudy giuliani. and so, i don't know. is the answer. >> jimmy: do you ever wish you

had apple care? >> that would have been a good thing. yeah. >> jimmy: there's one other thing that i want to ask about, it's the end of the book, and you are married now. you found love. and the way you found love, you have to understand that on paper this doesn't sound good. okay. and correct me if i have any of the details wrong. >> okay. >> jimmy: you meet some strangers. they say, oh, we have a girl you should meet. they give you her phone number. you text her like late at night. >> exactly. >> jimmy: she is sleeping. she is like, leave me alone, i'm asleep. she texts you the next morning and you have lunch together in an hour, you say you love her and she tells you she loves you and then she finds out that you are a crack addict. >> i tell her. i tell her. within the hour before i told her i loved her so she had an out, i told her. i said, look, i have a real problem. but, it's amazing. >> jimmy: and then you marry her a week later. >> yeah. >> jimmy: this is -- now if i'm

your dad and you tell me, i say, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no. what did your dad say when you called to tell him this? >> i called him to tell him. and he got on the phone with melissa. and he said, i will tell you the same thing that my mom, my grandmother said to my now mother. when we got remarried. we say we got remarried after my mommy's death. thank you for giving my son the courage to love again. >> jimmy: wow. he always said the right thing. doesn't he? >> he does. >> jimmy: well, this is, i mean, this is some book. this is not one of those books you go, all right, this is a hell of a book. it's called "beautiful things." hunter biden. thank you for being with us. >> i appreciate it. thank you. >> jimmy: we will be back with the wallflowers. >> jimmy: we will be back with the wallflowers. ♪ ♪ [ crowd cheering ] [ engine revving ] [ race light countdown ]
