that story is one of the top things people are clicking on right now on our website. it is up for you on the top news sidebar at abc7 news.com when you get a moment. all right. that is our report for all of us here. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. right now on jimmy kimmel. john cena. have a great weekend for sandy patel. larry beil. we'll see you on monday. bye bye. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, john cena, from "aj and the queen", rupaul, and music from dermot kennedy. and now, goodness gracious, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi there, that's very nice. i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thanks for watching, thanks for coming.

i, i appreciate that. especially in the middle of what has been a tense week here in the united states and in the middle east. last night as you i hope you know iran launched two dozen missiles. there were no casualties, thank god. there was talk the president might address the nation last night, as leaders typically do in times like these. instead, he went on twitter and wrote "all is well." all is not well. you're not even well, but go on. [ laughter ] missiles launched from iran at two military bases located in iraq. assessment of casualties and damages taking place now, so far so good. [ laughter ] it's like that joke about the guy who jumped off a skyscraper. you know that joke? as he's passing the 18th floor, someone yells out the window, how's it going? and he yells back, so far so good! [ laughter ] all is well and so far so good are not statements from a president after a strike on u.s. forces. [ laughter ]

they're the messages written on candy hearts for valentine's day. at this point, all he's missing is this one "luv u". [ laughter ] he saves that one for vladimir putin, i think. so that was last night. this morning at the white house, the president made quite a dramatic entrance. look at this. he 10ers the room. it's like the aliens in "close encounters" coming out of the ship. [ laughter ] what does he have in there, a tanning bed? what's going on? [ laughter ] when it time to say words, the president stayed on script. he delivered a prepared statement to both iran and the world. >> the civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the iranian regime, your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: will not toleride any more of your shanunigans. he really nailed this speech and took time out to compliment himself.

>> our economy is stronger than ever before. america has achieved energy independence. these historic compliment -- shades our priorities. >> jimmy: i think he needs to be rebooted, right? [ laughter ] he so desperately needs praise, i've never seen anything like it. if you can't get people to kiss his ass he stretches back and starts kissing it himself. [ laughter ] he's the president of the united states and that's not enough. all this man wants, which i guess he didn't get for christmas, is credit. >> doing a book. i tweeted, and all of a sudden they become a best seller, and they don't talk to me anymore. they give me no credit. any success that we hopefully have, and we've had a lot. we're given no credit. legislative approvals to which i'm given no credit. we've already signed 88 pieces of legislation. we get no credit. we've established a very good relationship, we're given no credit for it.

bernie was doing well, and i got no credit for it. we got credit for it. we get no credit for that. i've gotten no credit for it. i don't get any credit for this. i've gotten no credit for it. we get no credit for that. we get no credit. we get no credit. and we're getting unbelievable credit for what we've done, other than the mainstream media, which gives us no credit whatsoever. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: please get this guy a discover card before he blows up the world. [ laughter ] because this is no laughing -- this is when the fact that donald trump has the finger on the nuclear button becomes a real concern. up until now the only wars he's ever involved in were with bette midler and cher. [ laughter ] this is real. hopefully that was it for military retaliation. but the other thing we have to worry about is an iranian cyber attack. authorities say americans should be on heightened alert for cyber attack. what, how? should i unplug my computer? what does that mean? [ laughter ] do i hide under my desk? i need more information. and aren't we already under cyber attack from the president's twitter account every day?

[ laughter ] this is going to surprise you. turns out americans don't know a whole lot about iran. according to a survey by politico, less than a third of registered voters can find iran on a map. and i don't even believe that. i say it's less than a third of a third of american. but i couldn't find iran on a map. you know how i'd find iran on a map? i'd say hey, siri, find iran on a map. [ laughter ] the senate today was granted a briefing on the american airstrike that started this whole thing, and one prominent republican, senator mike lee from utah did not like the explanation he was given. he said it was the worst military briefing he's ever been a part of. that's not exactly what fox news wanted to hear from him. >> i find this insulting and demeaning. not personally, but to the office that each of the 100 senators in this building happens to hold. i find it insulting, and i find it demeaning to the constitution

of the united states to which we've all sworn an oath. when we send our brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines -- >> we're continuing to monitor this. every senator is coming out now and giving their take on all of this. >> jimmy: la, la, la, la, we'll be back with someone who agrees with everything the president does. [ laughter ] today was a special day for celebrity birthdays, and to ring them in, i'm going to turn you over to a special guest. the gang from abc's "good morning east texas." >> time for birthday club. in celebrity birthdays, bob ewe ranks is 82. noah cyrus is turning 20. and north korean leader kim jong-un is 36. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is he a celebrity now? by the way, is mulls' sister a celebrity now? that, by the way, is why i don't believe in astrology. happy birthday to kim jong-un. north koreans -- this is a huge day in north korea. it's a chance for them to see

something that is almost never seen in their country, which is cake. [ laughter ] in other world leader news, prince harry and meghan markle announced today that they don't want to be royals anymore. they're taking a step back from their royal duties. what does that mean taking a step back from royal duties? they'll be waving less? i don't know. [ laughter ] meghan and harry said they will work to become financially independent of the royal family. i guess they've had enough. you know every girl dreams of becoming a princess? turns out it kind of sucks. [ laughter ] i'm just hoping this means that meghan goes back to "suits," you know? times are changing. even the sky is changing. hyundai has announced a plan to partner with uber to create a flying car. this is what they're working on. i'm sure that will be no problem at all. [ laughter ] how does that work? will it land outside your house? just imagine a four-propeller helicopter landing on the lawn, jennifer? are you jennifer?

here's the thing. we already have a flying uber. it's called spirit airlines. [ laughter ] we don't need this. we can't handle this. [ applause ] i can't wait to be at a party and hear somebody say, brian's wasted, someone call a helicopter please. [ laughter ] this is an interesting development for fans of nfl football. there's a rumor that tom brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, will leave the new england patriots, the only team he's ever played for, to potentially come play for the chargers here in l.a. his contract expires in the spring, and his future with the patriots is especially in question after he posted a long message on instagram thanking fans. he wrote, "i just wante to say to all of our fans, thank you. after a few days of reflection, i am so grateful and humbled by the unconditional support you've show me the past two decades." he goes on about the team being

eliminated. "in both life and football, failure inevitable. you don't always win. you can, however, learn from the failure. pick yourself up with great enthusiasm and place yourself in that arena again, and that's right where you will find me, because i know i still have more to prove." i don't know, what more does a guy six super bowl rings and a super model wife have to prove? is he hoping to unlock the mysteries of the universe? [ laughter ] i think he's leaving. no one writes a letter that long unless they're going through a breakup. and obviously the idea that the brady era could be over and he could go to another team is upsetting to patriots fans. in fact in brookline, massachusetts, one fan is staging a protest outside tom brady's house right now. >> hey, hey, ho, ho, the g.o.a.t. must stay, he cannot go! hey, hey, ho, ho -- >> jimmy: oh my goodness. this is our foul-mouthed little friend from sea con, tom brady fitzpatrick. he's 2 years old, he loves tom brady. how are you doing? how are you holding up, tommy? >> i'm decidedly not great.

you're about to see a wicked case of the terrible twos! if touchdown tommy leaves boston! >> jimmy: if the team wants to start over and tom wants to keep playing, why should he stay in boston? >> what? what? why should he stay in boston? >> yeah. >> you better watch your tongue or i'm going to cut it out of your mouth and hang it from the rear-view mirror of my frigging iroc-z. >> jimmy: hi, mrs. fitzpatrick, how are you doing? >> we're in no mood for your nonsense, kimball! vs a very dark day. waahh! >> jimmy: your son seems very upset by this news. >> of course he's upset. tom brady is the closest thing he's had to a father figure since wcb stopped aaron spencer for hire. >> jimmy: that's very sad. tommy, did you make that sign yourself? >> this one? yeah, i did. on the front it says, the goat stays put. >> jimmy: i see that. what does it say on the back?

>> show it, mom. show me your knockers! [ laughter ] it's a leftover from the women's march. >> my little tommy loves knockers. >> jimmy: a lot of babies do. what are you drinking there, darlene? >> i'm staying hydrated with cigarette water. >> jimmy: is that a thing? cigarette water? >> yeah. every bottle contains the same amount of nicotine as a soft pack of newport 100s but only half of the tar. >> jimmy: now you wonder why tom brady would want to leave. >> what? we got everything you could ever neat right here in boston. >> right here in boston. sam adams. sad adams oktoberfest. all the seasonals. plus we got fluffer nutters. chowder! >> jimmy: those are great, but i'm not sure those are enough reasons to stay if you want to play football. >> what? have you ever even had chowder? it's hot milk and clam guts!

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: the food might not be enough to keep tom brady from coming to l.a. >> i see, right. you just want him to go holly-weird so you can go eating and go hot tubbing with you and o.j., right? [ laughter ] if he leaves, people in will be rioting in the streets. mayhem! it will be bedlam! people will lose their minds! from governor charlie baker to mayor marty walsh. from robert parish to robert kraft! from dickey barrett to joey cramer, who is the drummer of frigging aerosmith! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, tommy, you're getting a little excited. okay, good luck. know that if he does come west, he will be in good hands here in los angeles, okay? >> [ bleep ] does that mean? [ bleep ] you lay a finger on the g.o.a.t., i will personally end you! you want a piece of me?

>> jimmy: i don't. >> you want a piece of him? come and fight me! >> jimmy: tommy brady and his lovely mother, darlene, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] hey, i just want to say -- >> show me your knockers! show me your knockers! >> jimmy: you guys really gave 110%. thanks. >> thank you. >> jimmy: tonight on the show. we've got music from dermot kennedy, rupaul is here, and we'll be right back with john cena. so stick around. you ever feel like the only place you can find cars is in car commercials? oh, this isn't a car commercial. this is an autotrader commercial and this is one of the millions of new and used cars that you can find on autotrader. you can find cars like the ones on your favorite show. oh, no! or the car in this show.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: thanks for coming. it's good to have you here. >> it's good to be back, what a raucous audience. >> jimmy: well, there was a baby out here earlier and it got people really riled up. are you a football fan? >> i am, and i'm from a small town in new england. >> jimmy: are the patriots your team? >> not by geography. i like them because they win a lot. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so you're just admitting to being a bandwagon fan. >> yeah, as soon as they start losing i won't be a fan. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, it seems they just started doing that. >> they had a decent regular season. >> jimmy: that is true. >> it's weird that everybody in new england is saying the sky is falling when they won 12 games in the division. >> jimmy: you get spoiled. >> they are so spoiled. if that ever happened in cleveland, the streets would be on fire. it would be a riot. >> jimmy: it is a funny balance.

in boston, they win. the red sox, they have too much winning there. >> they went through a series where they were like loveable losers. now the tables have turned. >> jimmy: now they've become hateable winners. i think i'd rather be a loveable loser ultimately. [ laughter ] right now are you in wrestling mode or movie mode? or is there a difference between the two? >> that's a great question. right now i'm smack-dab in the middle of filming the new installment of "suicide squad." >> jimmy: so full movie mode. [ cheers and applause ] >> full movie mode, yes. >> jimmy: you work out, right? [ laughter ] >> it's one of my new year's resolutions. >> jimmy: do you work out harder when you're wrestling or doing a movie? >> the days are actually longer in a movie. so believe it or not, even though the touring schedule is grueling for wwe, i actually have more time to work out. in movie mode but working out less.

>> jimmy: do you do it with other people? >> other people are around, but i scare them with all the grunts and noises. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i would be very intimidated to work out with you. >> sweat a lot. >> jimmy: do they come up and say hey, we should work out together? >> no, i try scare them away. [ laughter ] pee on equipment, like a dog marking its territory. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and would you consider yourself now to be, because i think when we met i thought of you as a wrestler. now i think of you as -- >> but we met such a long time ago. >> jimmy: as an actor instead of a wrestler. >> wow. i'd just like to be a dude, just a guy, riding that ride of life and have fun doing it. >> jimmy: well, you're going to need to work out less if you want to be just a dude. [ laughter ] i can help but this. >> no, well, i think now, certainly, these are tremendous opportunities, you know, to be a part of a movie like "dolittle" and be part of "the fast nine" and that saga and filming "suicide squad." these are great opportunities that i really want to pursue and i have a passion for, so right now i'm doing more acting.

so you're correct. >> jimmy: you're playing peacemaker? the character? >> i can't confirm or deny. anything about "suicide squad." i can tell you i'm in the middle of filming. >> jimmy: that's all you can say? >> the d.c. people are always watching. >> jimmy: the internet seems to think you're playing peacemaker, or if there's a typo, pacemaker. >> i do believe they have pronounced me dead on seven or it's occasions, not everything you see is true. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: eventually, they'll pronounce you dead and they will be right. >> that's one they will win. they're definitely going to win that. >> jimmy: that prediction will sadly come true someday. [ laughter ] >> thank you, jimmy kimmel, for giving me that moment to face my mortality. >> jimmy: i just want you to appreciate -- >> dammit. >> jimmy: appreciate being here. >> thank you, i appreciate it. thank you. >> jimmy: i try to uplift the guests here on the show. at this point in your career, you are -- when was the last time you wrestled? >> well, it's been, this is the first time in 15 years or maybe more that i haven't been on a

wwe schedule pay-per-view in a calendar year. this is the first big transition. you spoke about tom brady moving elsewhere. i've officially moved, i'm not a regular player. >> jimmy: you're not a regular player? >> no, wwe's still part of my heart, i'm still part of the family. i keep in touch with a lot of folks. i try to teach and mentor, as man, i'm 42. how old is tom brady? >> jimmy: he's about your age. >> he needs to get out. [ laughter ] get out while he can still walk. why is that guy still playing football? no, i've really, i've been proud of the effort i've put forth, and i just want to make sure that i'm never in a position where paying customers like yourself look at the effort and go, eh, he's sticking around because he's greedy. >> jimmy: i see. if you were to -- do you go, like, hey -- >> i always want to be a part of it. >> jimmy: i want to do something, do they call you, do you call them? >> i always like for them to give me ideas, and then me kind of make it my own. >> jimmy: i see. >> so i know that we have a

small, large event called wrestle mania around the corner that just so happens to be in tampa, that's kind of where i live. and i'll be in the neighborhood, and "suicide squad" should be done. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i see. >> but it's not like i call somebody up and say, i want to be in wrestle mania. those spots are very coveted. there are performers who work all year, 250 shows a year, to take one of those spots. >> jimmy: and you want to take one of those. >> i would like to earn it. [ laughter ] the way you do that is vince mcmahon will call you up and say hey, i want you to do this. and i say, yes, sir. and i put my own spin on it. >> jimmy: you still think of him as your boss? >> he is so much more than that to me. a friend, a father figure, a mentor, a trusted resource. filled with wisdom. but above all else, yes, i still think of him as my boss. >> jimmy: it's a funny thing, isn't it? no matter how old you get, how much you accomplish, those people who were your boss, you still keep them, hold them in that regard. >> he's also had a tremendous

effect on my life. that's a couch session for you and i. i'm probably going to have to pay you a therapy fee for that. but he's a tremendous impact on my life. >> jimmy: what did you do for the holidays? >> normally, we do an event every 26th of december in madison square garden. >> jimmy: right. >> on the 25th i'm like, let's get out the door with santa bus i want to get to the garden. and this year i had an extended stay with intimate family and it was special. >> jimmy: what's the worst gift you got from the family? [ laughter ] >> that's a great question. we made a pact. no gifts. you're going to do something, do it for the kids. say it's from you, give them a little extra. they're the ones who enjoy the gifts at christmas. my dad tried to break the pact. >> jimmy: you are his kid. he probably thinks of it that way. >> you may have a point there. [ laughter ] let me see some affidavits. but anyway, he broke the pact and got me a gift which he thought was so very special. it is a ceramic wine bottle holder that is two revolvers. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: classy, you know? >> i don't live in like a western ranch. [ laughter ] i don't live in a saloon. >> jimmy: where did he get this? >> i don't know. >> jimmy: did you tell him you liked it? >> no, i told him i hated it. [ laughter ] i really wanted to destroy it, one, because he violated our agreement of trust. so like he wanted to give that gift, "merry christmas!" he did a good thing, but he did a bad thing by violating the pact. >> jimmy: he went over on that one, too. >> and he got me a crummy gift. >> jimmy: i am glad you said this. what we did was polled the studio audience and said what is the worst gift you got from christmas, and will you bring it in? we had studio members here last night -- >> why didn't you tell me beforehand? i would have brought the two revolvers. >> jimmy: i wish we were that prepared. >> i would have just destroyed it. >> jimmy: that is what we're going to ask you to do. >> no. >> jimmy: when you come back, we're going to meet these people, see their gifts and hopefully, if you're inclined, you'll destroy them.

>> i'll see my dad's face, [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: john cena is here. "dolittle" opens a week from friday. we'll be right back!
