11:36 pm
[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: that's very nice. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. that's very -- we are -- relax. we're back to work. question were off last week. we had a whole week of lazy sloth-like behavior. guillermo, what did you do last week during the vacation? >> guillermo: i spent a lot of time with my family. >> jimmy: a lot of time with your family doing what? >> guillermo: taking my son to school, pick him up, take him to the park. different places. >> jimmy: so nothing, really, is the answer. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: nothing. exactly. >> jimmy: me too. i spent a lot of my time thinking of who to vote for. you know, a week from tomorrow it's super tuesday. 14 states including ours, california, vote. and if you're voting for a democrat you have to pick a candidate. you have to pick one. unfortunately, most people i talk to about this still don't know which one. do you go with the candidate who has the best chance to beat donald trump? do you go with the one you like the most? or the candidate with the strongest teeth and bones? [ laughter ] it's a tough spot to be in.
11:37 pm
but it was a very good weekend at bernie's -- bernie sanders won big in nevada on saturday and is now considered to be a front-runner. that's right, there's a 78-year-old man running in front. [ cheers and applause ] it's not exactly the olympics. mike bloomberg. boy, the debate on wednesday was a disaster for mike bloomberg. the democrats put on a -- it was a real vegas magic show. elizabeth warren sawed bloomberg's campaign in half in las vegas. [ laughter ] everyone piled on him. you know, he's spending a lot of money. he spent more than $500 million so far. he's buying everything. commercials, social media, billboards. he even hired the houston astros to go around stealing the other candidates' signs. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] he's serious. but it is only -- it's really added to the confusion. there's still a lot of undecided voters. and that's not great. so what i think the candidates should do, and i know this is not the traditional way they do it, but this isn't a traditional election. here's my idea.
11:38 pm
and follow with me on this. instead of waiting for the nomination, i think the candidates should pick their running mates now to make it easier for us. mike bloomberg, for instance. he spent a ton of money and it worked, but he got hammered in the debate with stop and frisk and these harassment-related confidentiality agreements. what michael bloomberg needs is a strong runing mate. and that running mate, i thought about this a lot, should be -- denzel washington. [ cheers and applause ] you see that? you'd get a huge chunk of the black vote. and while a lot of women want a female president, you know what else a lot of women want? denzel washington. [ laughter ] that's right. bloomberg-washington. that's a strong ticket. okay. so that's what bloomberg should do. next you have joe biden, another old white man whose biggest problem is that he's not progressive enough. so who do we pair him with? flo. [ laughter ] energetic, woman, only person in the world with more commercials than mike bloomberg. she's got name recognition.
11:39 pm
she's literally progressive. she works for the company. [ laughter ] and if anyone can figure out this insurance mess, she's been on that for years. and on top of that, joe and flo, great bumper sticker. [ cheers and applause ] even joe biden could remember that. now we have elizabeth warren. she's tough, intelligent, almost too intelligent. kind of the grown-up version of the smart kid no one likes that much in school. [ laughter ] very bright. but she needs someone fun. she needs someone like lizzo. [ cheers and applause ] liz and lizzo. lizzo would be a great vice president. and she'd be the second vice president who plays the flute after mike pence. you know that? [ laughter ] okay. so now you have bernie. he's in the lead. but he's very far left. so far left he wouldn't tolerate a centrist running mate. he needs someone who won't threaten his ideology. he needs someone young and someone the bernie bros will accept. bernie sanders needs pam from "the office."
11:40 pm
[ cheers and applause ] not jenna fischer the actress. pam. that's a solid ticket. next we have amy klobuchar. she doesn't have a lot of support, doesn't have a lot of charisma. out of money. amy klobuchar's only hope right now is oprah winfrey. [ cheers and applause ] k-o. everyone gets health care and a car. and the other wild card is buttigieg. mayor pete. he's got some hurdles, though. he's too young. he's too clean. he's gay, which sadly is going to bother some people. and he's from south bend, indiana, which is just slightly bigger than a walmart. [ laughter ] these two people, the only people who've ever vacationed from that area. [ laughter ] so what mayor pete needs is someone who's rough, dirty, maybe even a little bit homophobic, someone with some good old-fashioned uncle power. and for that i say, pete, i'd like you to take a good hard look at a fellow named mel gibson. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] buttigieg sugar [ bleep ] 2020. and there you go.
11:41 pm
problem solved. now we can decide. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i appreciate that. that's a good idea. this is what i was doing while you were driving your son to school last week. >> guillermo: oh, my god. that's something. >> jimmy: according to a new poll 65% of americans think trump will either definitely or likely be re-elected. but one prominent conservative in hollywood is not on team trump. clint eastwood this weekend announced he will support michael bloomberg. which is surprising. typically he loves a million-dollar baby. [ laughter ] so you think he'd be with trump. but clint eastwood famously spoke at the republican national convention in 2012. he had a long conversation with an empty chair. but it's surprising he would go against trump seeing as how they did two movies together back in the '70s and '80s. [ laughter ] [ applause ] i guess there must be a rift. meanwhile, the president is in india right now for a two-day
11:42 pm
"eat pray love himself" tour. [ laughter ] this is his first trip to india since taking office. and i hesitate to say he didn't do his homework but he did seem a little bit confused when he got off the plane. [ laughter ] i don't know who's advising him. but -- the indian prime minister really laid it on thick. [ laughter ] we made that up. but it's possible. [ laughter ] the indian prime minister organized a huge rally to welcome trump at the largest cricket stadium in the world. trump doesn't know much about cricket. the only cricket trump knows are the ones he hears when he asks melania if he can sleep in her room. [ laughter ] the man loves an audience and he charmed the crowd with a taste of his vast knowledge of indian culture. >> as the great religious teacher swami vive-kumunand once said -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: clearly his
11:43 pm
speechwriter hates him. why even put that name in the teleprompter? [ laughter ] he had to read a lot of new words on the teleprompter today. and if you get a kick out of his struggles with the english language, wait until you get a load of this. >> from suchin tendokur -- swami vivekunand. classic indian fellas like ddlj and chawala ekiseler. namaste. namaste. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: namaste indeed. namuste. and of course trump was very focused on the size of the crowds gathered to greet him. he said this could be the biggest event they've ever had in india. and as you can see, this is during his speech. the place was absolutely jam-packed. [ laughter ]
11:44 pm
even before he left the united states, he was bragging to reporters that they were going to have millions and millions of people in the street to greet him. but this is india where they have millions of people in laundromats. [ laughter ] the other reason this is an interesting trip for trump is because the indian prime minister is a strict vegetarian and he does not plan to serve our president meat of any kind. his plan is to serve him vegetarian meals, which is like trying to fill a buick with safflower oil. it just doesn't work. you see him there thinking about eating his own head. [ laughter ] you know, yesterday the president accused congressman adam schiff of leaking information about russian efforts to influence our election. adam schiff is with us here tonight to talk about it. [ cheers and applause ] and as is gwyneth paltrow, who as far as i know does not leak at all. [ cheers and applause ] airtight.
11:45 pm
also tonight, earlier here on abc it's fantasy suite week on "the bachelor." [ cheers ] this is the time of the year when the bachelor has the opportunity to take his final three concubines on a test drive of sorts. [ laughter ] my pick to win it all this season, hannah ann, was the first to partake in the sweet suite fantasy. ♪ what is going on? are they having sex or being murdered with poison gas? [ laughter ] [ applause ] a lot of the drama tonight was focused on madison. now, madison is one of the contestants. she revealed to peter that she's a virgin. she's saving herself for marriage. peter, we learned in the windmill last year, is not saving himself for marriage. [ laughter ] but madison warned that if peter did it with any of the two remaining women, she would leave the show. so peter had to tell madison, uh, i did it with both of the
11:46 pm
remaining women. [ laughter ] >> i -- i have been intimate. and i can't lie to you about that. >> jimmy: can't lie. because it's all on camera! i can't lie. [ laughter ] because if something were to happen we would be watching this. but that was nothing compared -- peter's mother provided what -- i don't know where this came from, but this might be the most dramatic teaser moment in "bachelor" history. >> don't let her go. that's what love stories are made out of. bring her home. bring her home to us. >> jimmy: my god! [ laughter ] what are they going to do, eat her? [ laughter ] we need her life force, peter. bring mommy an offering. [ laughter ] she met this woman once.
11:47 pm
this is -- and as if that wasn't enough, we learned tonight there could be another version of "the bachelor" in the works. >> looking for love in your golden years? we're looking for eligible seniors who want their shot at love. >> jimmy: we are? why? really? "bachelor in hospice." this fall on abc. [ laughter ] i'll tell you this. i am not going to be a "bachelor" contestant when i get older. when i am in my golden years, future me and future guillermo, we will be focused on trying to help our remaining living fans figure out how to spend their social security checks. >> the following is a paid advertisement for medi-meals. >> hello. i'm former talk show host and partially recovered gambling addict jimmy kimmel. as an old person, i take a lot of pills. but pills can be so hard to swallow. if only there was an easier way to get that medicine down. now there is. medi-meals.
11:48 pm

11:49 pm

>> jimmy: hi. welcome back to the show. tonight, he is our congressman right here in hollywood who has inspired a slew of nicknames from the president of the united states. representative adam schiff is here with us tonight.

"the goop lab" is on netflix now. please welcome gwyneth paltrow. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ it's great to see you. thanks for coming. gwyneth, you know i'm very interested in your life, right? i want to know. like when goop came out, that minute i was ordering stuff off of it. >> thank you very much. >> jimmy: do you ever look up my account to see what i've ordered? [ laughter ] >> i believe in data privacy. so no. >> jimmy: okay. thank you. i appreciate it. because every once in a while i think, hmm, i wonder if they're
11:55 pm
looking at this. >> i will now. >> jimmy: you will now, yes. so today, for instance, did you do anything weird or did you put your head in a beehive or milk a goat or anything like that? [ laughter ] >> unfortunately not today, no. >> jimmy: how old are your kids now? >> my daughter will be 16 in may. and -- yeah. she's -- and my son will be 14 in april. >> jimmy: so -- [ applause ] they're at the age where you really start kind of looking into what your mom's up to. are they involved in any of this stuff? do they examine any of your -- oh, these things and go mom, what are you doing? >> they -- you know, it's so interesting. i think it must be pretty surreal for them to be the kids of somebody -- well, both of their parents are in the public eye. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and it's interesting to watch them sort of evolve along with our careers as they go. i mean, they're -- you know, it's funny, my son said to me
11:56 pm
the other day, he was like, first i thought it was really embarrassing that there were vibrators on your website and know think it's a great thing. [ cheers and applause ] you're a feminist, mom. you're a bad-ass. i was like, thank you. >> jimmy: sounds like he's smart. [ applause ] wow. yeah, i don't think i've ever said the word vibrator with my mother in the room. [ laughter ] you guys are really way ahead of the game there. >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: what kind of kid were you at that age when you were 13? >> 13? i was just trying to figure it all out. and i was super insecure. it's a tough age, that middle school -- >> jimmy: were you a good student? >> not in middle school, no. >> jimmy: kerry washington was here, and she said that you were in the -- i don't know if you were in at the same time, but in the same a capella group at school. >> yes. we went to the same school. and she has a beautiful voice. and so when i was leaving, she was coming -- she was a rising
11:57 pm
freshman. so she auditioned for me and my group, my cohort of -- >> jimmy: you auditioned kerry. >> can you imagine? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: do you have any memory of what song you had her do? >> i don't remember what she sang, but i just remember she was so beautiful. >> jimmy: what was the name of the group? >> it was called triple trio. >> jimmy: triple trio. so were there nine kids in it? >> there were. but i went back for my reunion and there were like 20 girls in it. yeah. >> jimmy: really? they added people? yeah, that's weird. did you guys sing at the reunion? >> no. >> jimmy: oh, you didn't? >> no. they sang. but i was like triple twenty -- what's happening? >> jimmy: maybe they had all three years there and then each person would add up to be more. >> your math is confounding. but -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's what my accountant says. [ laughter ] so you did this and you were -- what songs did you sing? >> in triple trio?
11:58 pm
so it was like an old-fashioned, you know, kind of barbershop quartet. those kind of things. >> jimmy: with hats? >> no. but that kind of music. so all three or four-part harmony, a capella songs. >> jimmy: so you guys would be like -- ♪ down by the old mill stream ♪ and stuff like that? really? >> like we sang "for the longest time" by billy joel. >> jimmy: yeah. that's kind of a capella-ish. >> that's an a capella song. and more old-fashioned songs. it was fun. >> jimmy: when you do billy joel were you like yeah, we've got a new one, we've got a hot new hit here? >> oh, yeah. this was in the '80s when it was -- billy joel was on. >> jimmy: he still is on. he still is. >> he's amazing. i love billy joel. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i do too. i've never turned -- with the possible exception of "we didn't start the fire" i've never gone by a billy joel song. [ applause ] you have this show that i find very interesting because what
11:59 pm
you've done is -- and i think you gravitate toward these unusual treatments. what would you call -- how would you classify these things? >> yeah. well, i think that what i'm really interested in and what we're interested in at goop is the idea that we are all free thinkers and able to do things and try things that might benefit our wellness. so -- [ applause ] thank you. >> jimmy: those people are trying things called cannabis. [ laughter ] but that is like -- so you have this team, a variety of teams. correct? >> yes. we have one -- yes. we have a big team. and so when we went to do the show we had certain subjects that we wanted to learn more about and ask questions about whether -- sort of emerging in fields of science and in some cases alternative medicine. there's an episode on fasting and longevity. there's an episode on cold therapy.
12:00 am
there's an episode on female sexuality. et cetera. >> jimmy: there's an episode on magic mushrooms. >> yes. on psychedelics. yeah. so the government right now is funding a study to see how psychedelics can really help with ptsd and depression, and it's pretty interesting stuff. >> jimmy: so when you guys are at the office how do you figure who's going to go -- like who's volunteering to go to jamaica and take the magic mushrooms? is that assigned? >> so -- no. i think that would be illegal. >> jimmy: i think so too. that's why i'm asking. [ laughter ] >> we had a big excel spreadsheet going, and we would say, this is what the episode is about, and then if somebody was interested in participating they would sign up and then we figured out who might the best people, you know, be. but a lot of people wanted to do the magic mushrooms episode. >> jimmy: i bet, yeah. [ laughter ] and really, you're kind of like on the weather channel there's the anchor who sits in the studio and then they go to the reporter who's out in the
12:01 am
hurricane with all the crazy stuff happening. you mostly are not participating in these things. >> well, i participated in the fasting, longevity one, and in the -- >> jimmy: the shots of the blood. >> that's the longevity one. i had the vampire facial as part of it. >> jimmy: and does that work? did you find any like result? >> i still look old as [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] [ applause ] no, i think it was good. i think it was -- >> jimmy: afterward you were -- >> i felt like yeah, i looked pretty fresh. >> jimmy: do you ever do one of these things and go oh, that was nothing, that was ridiculous? >> yeah. sometimes. >> jimmy: sometimes you do. >> that's what you've got to be the guinea pig for. >> jimmy: and lu tell the people, oh, yeah, this was bogus, we did not speak to my dead grandmother or anything like that? >> in that case we won't write about it. we don't like to be negative. >> jimmy: you would skip over it. >> we skip over it. >> jimmy: there's a product that has received a great deal of attention.
12:02 am
>> oh, my god. >> jimmy: i have to say i heard this about 300 times in one week. >> i'm really sorry. >> jimmy: there's no reason to apologize. >> it started as a funny joke kind of -- >> jimmy: it is funny. well, we're going to take a look at a new product from goop when we return. gwyneth paltrow is here. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ] chocolate and caramel. and a crunchy cookie?! it's more than more. it's more... (groan) errr!!! yes! it's more-er!
12:03 am

12:04 am
12:05 am
12:06 am
it's our favorite subject. vaginas. >> the vagina's the birth canal only. you want to talk about the vulva. which is the clitoris and the
12:07 am
inner lips and all that good [ bleep ] around it. >> the vagina is only the birth canal? oh. see, i'm getting an anatomy lesson. i thought the vagina was the whole -- >> no. no. no. >> jimmy: you learn something new all the time. you really do. [ cheers and applause ] that is -- the show is called "the goop lab." it is on netflix. and that lady is a 90-year-old sex therapist. >> she's incredible. she's 90 years old and she believes in female sexual pleasure and she's made a whole career out of it. >> jimmy: isn't it interesting how little we actually know about our bodies, wherever where you have this woman telling you what your vagina is. you're like, "oh, how about that, i didn't realize that's what it was." >> what do you know. >> jimmy: what is it, again? >> the vagina? >> jimmy: yeah. >> the vagina is just the birth canal. >> jimmy: it's just the canal. >> and the vulva like betty says, is all the stuff on the outside. >> jimmy: uh-huh. so which is more important,
12:08 am
then, really? [ laughter ] >> how long have you been married? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: which time? so this is the product that we're talking about. this is a real product. this is not a joke. or maybe it is. i don't know. but it's a real product. [ laughter and cheers ] it's a candle. who came up with this idea? what maniac came up with this? a french person? >> well, so douglas little, who is the owner of heretic perfume. >> jimmy: he's in this box. he's really little. >> we're very close friends and we work together a lot. he does all our fragrances for us. and one day we were smelling different fragrances and i was joking around. and i said -- i smelled something and i said this. [ laughter ] as a joke. but then i was like, wouldn't that be cool if somebody actually had the guts to do that? what a punk rock feminist statement to have that on your table.
12:09 am
and then he made it. i thought he just made me one as a joke. but then the next thing i know, it was on my website. [ laughter and cheers ] >> jimmy: so they didn't do any like testing or anything like that to try to -- [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] because it doesn't -- it smells nice. it smells kind of like -- it smells a little bit masculine, really. like it has kind of woody like a -- i don't know. [ laughter ] right? is now everything dirty? yeah. but it doesn't really -- you know what i'm saying? [ laughter ] >> well, it's not really supposed to smell like a vagina. it's supposed to -- >> jimmy: oh. well, it does say -- that is false advertising, then. [ laughter ] >> it's supposed -- i think a lot of women have grown up with a certain degree of shame or embarrassment around this part. >> jimmy: oh.
12:10 am
>> so we're kind of like, yo. >> jimmy: have you thought about making one for men? [ laughter ] i mean, we have a lot of shame too. [ laughter ] >> in fact, there was a canadian candle company that made a candle called "this smells like my balls." >> jimmy: oh. [ laughter ] >> and it was 25% more expensive than this because of the wage gap. >> jimmy: oh, really? [ laughter ] or maybe it's because there are two of them. [ laughter ] >> again, your math -- >> jimmy: my math is a problem. so people can't buy it because it sold out like immediately. >> we have more in right now. >> jimmy: also are you selling these lighters, these little flip-flop shoe lighters? oh, no, we bought this next door. [ laughter ] is it true that elton john bought like a lot of these things? >> that's what we heard. we heard he bought like 100. >> jimmy: you looked into his account? >> no. [ laughter ] he said it somewhere. >> jimmy: oh, he did? he bought 100 of these?
12:11 am
is he working on a song, "my vagina smells like a candle in the wind" or something like that? [ laughter ] that would be great for your a capella reunion next time. [ applause ] when it eventually gets whittled back down to nine. i don't know if you guys take requests. well, you've got something going here. i tell you what. i mean, it is unbelievable. you put one of these products on your website and everyone talks about it all the time. and they go, gwyneth paltrow's crazy. and then you go, yeah, very crazy. very, very rich and very crazy as well. [ applause ] i mean, it's really unbelievable. >> wow. i have no idea what to say. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, no. there's nothing to say. this candle smells like your vagina. [ laughter and cheers ] i mean, what more -- it says it all. it's great to see you. >> you too. >> jimmy: the show is called "the goop lab." it's on netflix now. gwyneth paltrow, everybody. we'll be back with congressman adam schiff.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi. welcome back. our next guest is the chairman of the house intelligence committee and our friendly neighborhood congressman too. please welcome the honorable representative adam schiff. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ boy, thanks for being here. your office is right down the block from us. >> it is. it is. >> jimmy: with the superheroes wandering by all day long? >> i had one of those superheroes run against me one year. [ laughter ] i kid you not. >> jimmy: who was running against you? >> spider-man. it was an outrage. >> jimmy: there's a lot of spider-men. he didn't do too well i'm guessing. >> he did not. he looked better on the screen than he did on the ballot. >> jimmy: how has your life changed over like the past year as far as your daily life, your daily activities? >> it's changed a lot. i mean, certainly when i walk down the street i get a
12:24 am
different reaction, often very extreme. mostly positive. but sometimes not so much. >> jimmy: is that right? here in los angeles you get negative reaction? >> i remember walking down the street in burbank. there was a guy who was almost a block away. i don't even know how he recognized me. but the first thing i hear is "there's that a-hole. there's that son of a bitch." in case i didn't know who he was talking about, his wife was like, "what's the matter, what's the matter?" "there's adam schiff." i'm like, i guess he was talking about me. [ laughter ] but it's mostly good. in fact, i was in new york visiting my daughter and we were walking down the street and i'm wearing blue jeans and a canvas jacket and sunglasses and i'm surprised people are stopping me, that they can even recognize me. my daughter's getting annoyed because -- >> jimmy: how old's your daughter? >> she's a senior in college. she's watching now. and probably even more annoyed. [ laughter ] she's getting annoyed because there's only one center of attention in the family and it's her.
12:25 am
>> jimmy: uh-huh, i see. >> the last straw was somebody asked her to hold their beer while we took a photograph. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> and as we walked away she was like, what am i now, the beer holder? i said, alexa, i'm just shocked that anybody can recognize me. and she says, you know, dad, it's the pencil neck. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: looking at your neck, and it doesn't seem pencilly at all. in fact, i would argue that trump has a big fat orange neck. [ laughter ] >> and you would be right. >> jimmy: what's your collar size? what do you wear? >> i think it's a 16 1/2. >> jimmy: that's perfectly reasonable. >> i thought so. people will come up to me and kind of look me over and be like, your neck looks pretty normal. they seem a bit surprised. >> jimmy: he seems to be very fixated on you in general, and i think that's probably a good thing, yes? i mean, it tells me that you're doing your job. >> i spend half my day inside his head, apparently. and i've got to tell you, it's pretty scary in there. [ laughter ]
12:26 am
it's everything i can do -- [ cheers and applause ] it's everything i can do to avoid all the marbles rolling around. >> jimmy: just yesterday, for instance, before he left for the big trip to india where he was supposed to work on a trade agreement, he's out -- look, he's talking about you. >> they leaked it. adam schiff and his group. they leaked it to the papers. and as usual, they ought to investigate adam schiff for leaking that information. he should not be leaking information out of intelligence. they ought to investigate adam schiff. >> jimmy: now, should they investigate you? >> absolutely. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: who is they that he wants to -- wants to do an investigation of you? would this be your fellow congressmen? >> actually, no. it's much more malicious than that. he wants the justice department, his hand-picked hack at the attorney general's office, bill barr, to investigate his political enemies.
12:27 am
>> jimmy: shouldn't everyone, regardless of their party, be very troubled by this? >> absolutely. and after watergate we tried to build a strong wall between the oval office and the justice department so that no president would seek to prosecute his enemies, abuse the justice department that way. and that wall has been so broken down by this president. he as you know intervened in the sentencing of one of his accomplices, roger stone. >> jimmy: yes. >> he has urged the investigation, prosecution of james comey, adam schiff, you name it. i mean, it would be funny if it wasn't such a serious assault on the rule of law. and then just this week, of course, he fired the head of all the intelligence agencies for doing his job, which is briefing congress on the threat to our elections posed by a foreign power. and he's replaced him with someone who has no experience except being a lackey of the president. this is just so dangerous for the country. >> jimmy: when you are -- you're
12:28 am
in the house intelligence committee, you run the house intelligence committee. you're there with your colleagues, some of whom are republicans. do they share this concern? do you get any sense from them that they feel like something is wrong? >> you mean like devin nunes? >> jimmy: devin nunes, for instance. devin nunes, who for whatever reason just kind of came out of nowhere and really has devoted his life to protecting donald trump, for reasons that are unknown to me. i have no idea why. i don't know if he's dumb, if he's evil, if he's some combination of the two. i'm pretty sure he's dumb. i won't speak to evil. but what's going on there? >> i don't know except i was thinking during your last segment that i need a candle that says "this smells like devin nunes." [ cheers and applause ] honestly, we used to get along quite well. but like so many people that get
12:29 am
too close to donald trump, they end up badly tainted. and he's just gone down a rabbit hole, which is, you know, a great shame. and more than a shame, when he was the chairman of the intelligence committee it was downright dangerous. and now he's the ranking member it's less dangerous but nonetheless problematic. it appears that it was nunes who may have gone, reportedly went to the white house to complain that we were being briefed, the whole committee was being briefed about the ongoing threat to our elections from russia. and that was enough to get the president to fire the top intel official and to give him a new deputy, which was devin nunes' former staff. >> jimmy: it's crazy. it is crazy. >> it's totally crazy. i never imagined in my wildest nightmare that any of this could happen in this country. and i think it calls on all of us in our public life, our private life, our civic life, our corporate life, to do everything we can right now to defend our democracy.
12:30 am
>> jimmy: what can we do to defend our -- obviously this president isn't -- some people support him. i don't. but other than removing him from office, what can we do? >> well, we can remove him from office. i mean, that's the main thing. [ cheers and applause ] the good news, the good news is the american people do not buy what he's selling. they don't like him. a majority of americans have never agreed with him. if we turn out our people, those people that are decent, that cherish the values of this country, if we register them to vote and we turn them out, he is a one-term nightmare only. [ cheers and applause ] they can do everything right and still lose because they don't have the numbers. the demographic that supports him is an older and dying, literally dying demographic. mitch mcconnell's whole political business model is
12:31 am
built on fewer people voting. it's the only way they stay in power, is with fewer people voting, which is why they work so hard to disenfranchise particularly minority communities from voting. so what we need to do is we need to register every single eligible voter. we don't need to know who the nominee is going to be right now. we can register people right now. and then when it comes time in the fall, we turn them out and we look back on this as a terrible gauntlet we went through. and i think frankly anyone that stood by, stood with this president, lacked the kind of courage that mitt romney displayed, will be covered with shame. covered with shame. >> jimmy: all right. well, we're going to take a break. when we come back, a little more chat with adam schiff. we'll be right back.
12:32 am
12:33 am
can we be confident that americans and not foreign powers will get to decide and that the president will shun any further foreign interference in our democratic affairs? and the short, plain, sad, incontestable answer is no, you can't. you can't trust this person to do the right thing, not for one
12:34 am
minute, not for one election, not for the sake of our country. you just can't. he will not change. and you know it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is adam schiff, our local congressman. speaking to the senate. making a case for the removal of donald trump. only as we mentioned mitt romney is the only republican senator who did the right thing, i guess. >> you know, i have to say i'm in awe of the courage that he showed. and -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: he did. >> he really did. the gamble the founders made was that human beings possess sufficient virtue to govern themselves, that they didn't need to be ruled by a despot. and that seems quite intuitive now, but at the time it was unprecedented. they literally bet their lives and their sacred honor on this proposition. and listening to mitt romney for
12:35 am
me vindicated that faith they put in human beings. and not just mitt romney but other courageous people like joe manchin and doug jones, the many house members that come from difficult districts and yet voted their conscience and their constitution. that should give us optimism about the future. i hope and believe that when we look back on this time we can see what we can't see because we're living through it, and that is that what mitt romney did we can point to as the moment that the fever began to break. >> jimmy: i hope you're right. i don't know that -- it seems like we lose focus so quickly, that we're just right on to the next thing. and he's -- trump is always up to something. have you met donald trump? have you -- >> i have. i met him a couple times. the first time in the oval office. he came around the desk to greet me. it was -- >> jimmy: when was this? >> it was right after the devin nunes midnight run debacle. and i went over to see the documents.
12:36 am
and he sent his staff over saying he wanted to see me in the oval office. i couldn't bring staff with me. which made me nervous, frankly. that there be no witness to what he would say. but the first thing he said, he came around the desk, he said, "you know you do a really good job." and when somebody says that your natural impulse is to say "so do you." [ laughter ] but i couldn't bring myself to say anything like that. and there was this long, very awkward pause. [ applause ] >> jimmy: that's where your relationship went wrong. you guys could have been out there golfing together. >> other than that, we would have been just fine. >> jimmy: well, i just want to say thank you for -- i watch you and i am grateful for what you do. [ applause ] in fact, i do want you to have this special gift. [ laughter and applause ] you can give that to devin if you like. representative adam schiff, thank you for being here. gwyneth paltrow, thank you. apologies to matt damon.
