[ laughter ] >> jimmy: trump is here in hollywood. he's promised to make hollywood boulevard great again by building a wall around bill cosby's star on the walk of fame. and guillermo is going to pay for it. >> guillermo: no way. >> jimmy: it's just a little star. it won't cost that much. trump is in town for a fundraising dinner where tickets start at $25,000 a plate. if you want food on the plate, it's another $30. a year ago people thought donald trump's campaign was a joke. but today there are a variety of opinions, but he is the presumptive, i guess we can't say nominee even though it's pretty safe to presume, bu

presumptive nominee for president. we have some fun stuff tonight. trump is here tonight. bernie sanders is here tomorrow. i announced i was running for vice president and all of a sudden these candidates are flocking to visit. [ applause ] >> jimmy: to ask for our hand in marriage. i'm still primarily interested in running as a solo candidate because it's never been done, but i'll hear them out. trump won a primary last night. he got 76%. cruz got 10%, and kasich got 9.8%. somehow kasich is doing better since he dropped out. donald trump is so close he can smell it like a discontinued trump steak sizzling on the grill. our keyboard player turned me onto something fun this morning. this is -- he's been watching videos of donald trump on youtube at half speed. jeff has a busy schedule.

apparently youtube has a half speed function. well, watch. [ in slow motion ] >> i looked, you know, hillary clinton has somebody. did you ever hear of pocahantas? >> jimmy: that's fun, right? here's another one. this is slowed down donald on bernie sanders. >> bernie is not going to be able to do it.

[ applause ] >> jimmy: brought to you by vodka. isn't that great? if you slowed him down anymore, he'd be ben carson.

there were some anti-trump protests outside his rally last night in albuquerque. a lot of people, it got a little bit crazy. some people were injured and some were throwing rocks. there were signs. there was pushing. trying to open doors that couldn't be opened. people are jumping and climbing on police cars, running through the streets, throwing barricades. >> they're troublemakers. >> jimmy: right. that's true. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: we're going to be seeing a lot of that. this is good. cnn showed a tweet donald trump wrote last night. these viewers paying extra attention to the fine print got a bonus. >> he said great rally in new mexico. amazing crowd. now in l.a., big rally in anaheim. >> look at the bottom. it says real donald trump -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: how that got on tv, i don't know.

i'll ask. a good question. here's something i would like to get each of the presidential candidates to weigh in on. there's a movement online, a hash tag. it's called give captain america a boyfriend. they want marvel comics to make captain america gay. i wouldn't be surprised if he already is. you have you ever met a straight guy in this good of shape? that body does not represent my america. captain america should be fat, really. when i am vice president, my first order of business will be to force captain america to gain 30 pounds. this is from the dodgers reds game last night. watch the guy -- i think he's a guy carrying peanuts in the background. >> fastball, good pitch. >> jimmy: show that one more time. i want you to pay attention to

[ applause ] >> build a wall around this kid. >> that boy has some leadership qualities. >> jimmy: donald trump is moments away from visiting us here. say what you like about him, his supporters are passionate and loyal. trump once said he could shoot somebody in the middle of fifth avenue and his fans would still support him. we decided to put that to the test. we went on the streets and told people who support donald trump about a bunch of made up things he did at a press conference. he did not do any of them.

press conference today, but that didn't stop people from claiming he did and they saw it in tonight's lie witness news. >> what did you think about the moment during donald trump's big press conference this morning when he did that one-armed pushup? >> that was impressive for an older guy. >> how many did you count? did you see him get up to five? >> i would say almost five. >> what did you think about when he showed that video of him leg wrestling vladimir putin? >> it was crazy, yeah. it's pretty cool a guy like that down to earth like that, leg wrestling a guy from another country. that's pretty sweet. >> what did you think of donald trump's announcement that he would build a wall extending through new mexico as well, because mexico is mexico and they come in through there as well. >> i think it's great. we're under threat. it's what we need. he's a no nonsense guy. he's going to take care of us. >> do you think the wall around new mexico will help protect us

>> everything will help. >> even though it's part of the u.s.? >> right. >> what did you think about donald trump announcing that he's hoping to make separate security lines at airports for people of islamic dissent? do you think that will speed things along? >> it should speed things up. we had a pretty long wait at the airport. anything that speeds it up, i'm for that. >> was it cool when donald trump fired a gun into the air during the press conference? >> it was. that's one of his many traits, trying to be different. which is what gets him the attention that he needs. >> describe the audience's reaction when he fired the gun, the way they were cheering. >> they were, like, on, honestly, i haven't seen a crowd that excited about somebody. it was pretty nice to see. >> thank you for your honesty. >> you're welcome. >> what did you think about donald trump saying hillary clinton has a huge ass. >> she does. she has big legs too. that's why she always wears a pantsuit. you know that.

you saw that? >> jimmy: i did. >> i've had great endorsements. one of the great ones, and i think one with a big impact was bobby knight who said trump is really the one we want, and bobby knight, 900 games, three national championships. he had the last undefeated college team, in indiana and everywhere else, he's a legend for a coach. he said trump is the guy. >> jimmy: you said, and i thought this was interesting, you believe transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want to. that's contrary to what most people in your party believe. they do you think people are focussed on that? >> what i'm saying, and i think it's simple, let the states decide. we have to protect everybody. right now it's a small group. >> jimmy: are you saying if you were voting personally, you in new york state, that you would vote for the right?

that whatever you're born, that's the bathroom you use. >> jimmy: but what about you? >> me, i say let the states decide. >> jimmy: would you personally support it? i think you do. >> no, what i support is let the states decide, and i think they'll do hopefully the right thing. >> jimmy: what's that? >> i don't know yet. honestly, i don't know. it's a very interesting circumstance. >> jimmy: it's a stupid thing to be focussed on. don't we have bigger problems? >> the world is blowing apart. lots of bad things are happening, but something has to be discussed, but i say let the states decide. >> jimmy: i'll give you an n/a on that one. who do you like more, bernie sanders or hillary clinton? >> well, i think bernie would be easier to beat even though he shows up better in the polls, but what i like about bernie, when he loses because the system is rigged against him like it was against me. the system is rigged. and if i didn't win by massive landslides every state, there was no chance for me to win.

he's having the same thing except she has a different kind of a deal with super delegates. >> jimmy: do you understand how that works? i don't. >> nobody understands it, but it's an unfair system. i understand the bosses hand out delegates and whoever gets the most superdelegates has a good advantage. it's unfair to him. . --. >> this is an abc news special report. the death of muhammad ali, remembering the greatest. >> good evening. we are coming on the air with that breaking news. the boxer once named sportsman of the century has died this evening. he was once the most famous man in the world. muhammad ali was 74 years old, born january 17th th of 1942 and su

first met in 1963. that meeting immortalized in this photo. lonny didn't know who he was. together they have faced the toughest fight of ali's life. when he grew physically weaker over the year, he could still inspire, lighting the olympic flame in atlanta. raising millions for charity and speaking out for peace and solidarity with all muslims in the wake of september 11th. >> the united states honors muhammad ali. >> reporter: in 2005, president bush awarded ali the presidential medal of freedom. the highest honor for a man who will forever will remembered with the boast of a young fighter. >> i'm the world's greatest. >> i'm always confident i'll whip all of them. i'm the greatest.

and in so many ways, muhammad ali lived up to his word. >> the greatest indeed. our thanks to robin roberts. there is a statement out tonight by the family of muhammad ali, quote, after a 32 year battle with parkinson's disease, muhammad ali passed away at 74. he died this evening. according to a family spokesman, the funeral will happen this wednesday in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. a town that he grew up in during the seg dpatregated south, i'm d by a friend of muhammad ali. what will he be remembered most as? >> before i answer that, it hasn't sunk in. we've been waiting for an official word, and it's hard to wrap my head around. but he was an incredibly courageous person. he was courageous in boxing. to take on the toughest

he fought every comer. he was courageous to change his religion and name in the sects to be ostracized by much of white america. what he did was foreign in 1964. unbelievable courage to stand up and say i'm not going to the war. >> and so sacrifice three years of his prime athletic ability for that stance, for that principle. >> to be willing to sacrifice for what he believed was right is something that i don't think athletes today can comprehend. and courageous to wait it out, to be proven protect, come back, and take on numerous opponents before he could get another title shot ten years later in 1974. >> is it too much -- he's been called the most famous man in the world. is that hyperbole? >> not by my stretch. he was the most well known man on the planet for the vast majority of his life. and maybe in me

when he was traveling less and seen less, maybe the younger generation is not totally familiar with what he was and what he stands for, but the people of my, our generation, we're about the same age, the baby boomers, the civil rights generations, certainly has a great deal of affinity for what he did and who he was, and to finish my thought on courage, the courage to take on that dreaded disease of parkinson's, and to be in public for most of the time that he was infirmed until recently. he was public. he wasn't ashamed to be seen. he still wanted to touch as many people as he could. i found it incredibly courageous. i documented that in a documentary. i produced it in the 90s. i wanted to set the record straight that he was still -- he still had his mental capabilities. i think of courage. he was a man of peace and

>> i think much of america and much of the world is attributing all three of those words to him. he will be remembered not only for his courage and love toward others but also at times for the playful barbs outside the ring, the lots of talking he was infamous for. the frequent foil for many of the quick one liners was howard cosell. deep respect for each other as we got to sit back and enjoy the show. >> that's me. >> what you call me? >> let's tell it like it is, right from the beginning. >> i made you famous enough. everywhere i go you follow me to get your name in the papers and on television. >> you'd still be stealing bikes in louisville if it weren't for me. >> don't tell people i steal bikes. >> you're being extremely

trukulent. >> whatever that means. if it's good, i am. >> it's an act. >> have the other fights been acts? >> not so far. >> what makes you think i'm acting? >> oh. >> and with that final stage of the act -- >> this is unexpected. i didn't know you would invite me. you must be on boxing position and just have a little dance like you're poxing and just once, time it. for one second. >> and where and when. >> i like to fight whoever you think is the best. the number one best. >> i'm not sure there's anybody left, really for you to fight. >> you. >> that may come about someday. thank you for coming by. >> just stay in shape. >> tell your coach, i've been taken. oxygen because i needed the oxygen. what you will see is i won't need the oxygen tonight.
