Trump Does Iran War Damage Control, Kash Patel’s in Panic Mode & Rubio's Awkward Pope Meeting
Jimmy Kimmel Live
0:00 I'm Jimmy, and I'm the host.
0:01 Thanks for watching.
0:02 Thanks for joining US AT OUR STUDIO HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
0:07 And I welcome to those of you visiting the Hollywood.
0:10 We're glad to have you here, right?
0:11 We're glad everybody here, right?
0:13 Yeah, Jimmy.
0:13 Yes.
0:13 Yes.
0:14 We have a show planned for you.
0:15 In case you're wondering what we did all day today,
0:16 we are particularly focused on the Vatican tonight,
0:19 where Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dispatched to patch up the off-again,
0:25 off-again relationship between the President and the Pope.
0:28 The President would have gone there to meet the Pope himself,
0:31 but they decided it was too dangerous uh when he enters a church,
0:34 uh all the holy water starts to boil.
0:37 So, he sent little Marco to a summit that got off to an awkward start.
0:45 Honorable Secretary, it's good to see you.
0:47 Good morning.
0:47 It was almost a year that I was here with you.
0:49 Yeah, one day.
0:50 Well, no, 10 days off.
0:56 All right, good talk.
0:57 Good talk.
0:57 That's what Marco calls vibing with someone.
1:01 They have the chemistry of parents
1:03 at their daughter's wedding 2 months after the divorce.
1:05 But, it was a productive meeting.
1:08 Though, in an embarrassing mix-up,
1:09 the Pope mistook little Marco for a child and baptized him.
1:14 Here's the photo that they were posing for.
1:16 If that's not a penance face, I've never seen a penance face.
1:20 And by the way, how short is the Pope?
1:23 You know, I looked Marco Rubio,
1:24 it's he's listed on the internet as 5'8", which seems generous to me.
1:28 Pope Leo must be about the size of those saints you put on your dashboard.
1:33 Of course, the main subject they discussed was
1:35 the ongoing war in uh on Iran this morning.
1:39 The story is that we were about to make a deal with Iran.
1:41 According to Reuters,
1:42 we had a one-page agreement with Iran that would stop the fighting,
1:45 but leave the most contentious issues unresolved.
1:47 In other words, put us right back where we were before we
1:50 spent who knows how many hundreds of billions of dollars on this.
1:54 Iran has been doing most of their fighting on Twitter lately.
1:57 Yesterday, the speaker of the Iranian parliament disputed
2:01 the White House claim that peace was imminent.
2:03 He wrote, "Operation trust me, bro failed.
2:06 Now, back to routine with operation FOIA." I
2:10 guess FOIA's a short for Fox and Axios, and that doesn't work at all.
2:13 I don't know if the translator screwed that up, but that does not work.
2:17 But, you do have to admit, operation trust me,
2:19 bro pretty funny for a death cult.
2:22 This is not your father's Ayatollah.
2:25 And then, it turned out that we're maybe not as close
2:28 to an end to this as the Trump reversed might have you think,
2:30 because tonight the Iranians fired on three American warships.
2:34 We fired back, and the fighting has started all over again.
2:37 Trump called it a love tap.
2:39 He's trying to play down what happened.
2:41 He's quite clearly anxious to manage expectations on this thing.
2:45 After After he declared the war was won in the first hour,
2:49 he's now posting a list showing how much longer our previous wars went on.
2:55 I bet that's not the only chart that shows his is the shortest, but Thank you.
3:02 You know things aren't going great when when the narrative is, "Hey,
3:08 it's not as bad as the Civil War." Not only is
3:10 Trump having a hard time explaining why we're in this war,
3:13 he doesn't even seem to be sure of what he wants to call it.
3:17 We are at, as they would say, a war.
3:19 They call it a war, I call it a military operation.
3:22 Of course, they call it a war, I call it a military conflict.
3:25 We're in a I call it a mini war, cuz that's all they are.
3:29 I call it a skirmish, because that's what it is.
3:32 We have to make a journey down to Iran.
3:34 This is a minor excursion.
3:36 This is a short excursion.
3:37 It'll be a short-term excursion.
3:39 This is an excursion, a little excursion.
3:41 We're winning the war by a lot.
3:45 By a lot.
3:46 We're up We were up 35 points, and they have no timeouts remaining.
3:52 Our future former FBI director Kash Patel is having a rough year so far.
3:56 Patel, as you probably know, is suing The Atlantic for $250 million over
4:01 a story they published a few weeks ago that claimed he drinks a lot and then
4:05 that drinking has many at the FBI concerned.
4:08 Yesterday, The Atlantic published another Patel all claiming
4:11 he hands out personalized whiskey bottles as gifts.
4:14 Which and this is the bottle it for real
4:17 you can see it is short and filled with alcohol.
4:22 Just like Kash himself and I have to say as bad as he is as FBI director,
4:28 he might be even worse when it comes
4:30 to graphic design because this engraving is it's sub AI.
4:33 If you want to make an impression, you need something that pops.
4:37 Like for instance, THIS.
4:40 BETTER, RIGHT?
4:43 HE'S HANDING OUT WHISKEY BOTTLES.
4:46 BY THE WAY, HOW PISSED MUST PETE Hegseth be right now?
4:50 They made me give up drinking.
4:53 The FBI has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to the unauthorized
4:56 use of alcohol on the job and misuse while off duty.
4:59 And so they're taking these allegations seriously.
5:02 In fact, so seriously,
5:03 they've opened an investigation to find out who ratted him out.
5:07 Patel has reportedly ordered more than two
5:09 dozen members of his security detail and staff
5:12 to take a polygraph and is said to be in panic mode to save his job.
5:17 Ah, sounds to me like somebody could use a drink.
5:21 And while the FBI is busy looking into who blew the whistle on the boss man,
5:29 very little has been done to bring light
5:31 to those implicated in the Trump Epstein files.
5:34 Remember those?
5:37 A lot of people believe this war or skirmish or or excursion
5:40 in Iran was cooked up to knock that out of the headlines.
5:44 And even some of our most accomplished and unbiased TV journalists
5:49 now are suggesting that it might be time to move on.
5:51 We've got Iran building a nuclear weapon.
5:54 You think the president of the United States is seriously going to spend time
5:57 dissecting and breaking down and presenting
6:00 to the American people stuff in the Epstein files?
6:03 You really believe that?
6:04 Get over yourself.
6:04 It's crazy.
6:05 So, enough of that.
6:06 Those files are out.
6:09 I mean, we talked about it on here before.
6:12 I think I think we all want to know about the UFOs, right?
6:18 Well, yeah, but can't we know about both?
6:20 I mean kiss his ass all you want, Laura.
6:23 He's still going to call you Laura at Thanksgiving dinner.
6:27 You know, Monday is on Sunday.
6:28 Uh Mon- Monday's not on Sunday.
6:30 Monday on Sunday?
6:32 Monday on Sunday now?
6:34 Yeah, that's one of the crazy things Trump has done.
6:37 Monday is on Sunday now.
6:40 So.
6:44 I've had a I've had a long week.
6:47 So, um you know, you have a plan for Mother's Day, Guillermo?
6:51 Uh actually, Jimmy, I'm flying to New York for work.
6:53 Oh, right.
6:54 We're going to New York.
6:55 to New York, yes.
6:56 Right.
6:56 Okay, so you're not going to be home.
6:58 No, she's home alone, yeah.
7:00 Okay.
7:00 All right.
7:00 Will you make up for it?
7:02 Yeah, when I come back, yeah.
7:03 Of course, I order her flowers and everything, you know.
7:06 Flowers and everything or just flowers?
7:07 No, flowers and a gift and everything, yeah.
7:10 Yeah.
7:10 Here's an anomaly about Mother's Day.
7:12 Maybe you have this, too.
7:13 I I have to go and find gifts and pay
7:16 for the gifts that my kids then pretend are from them.
7:21 And then even though my wife knows full well who got this stuff,
7:24 I have to sit there and watch as we go through this thank you,
7:26 I love you charade, and we're teaching kids to take credit
7:31 for something they had nothing to do with, like little Donald Trumps.
7:34 You understand?
7:36 Well, anyway, part of the problem with Mother's Day,
7:40 as I see it, is we don't know what mothers really want.
7:44 It's definitely not brunch.
7:45 So, to help those of you watching from home,
7:48 we are now going to journey inside the heads of our studio audience
7:51 to find out what the mothers in this room really want for Mother's Day.
7:56 And we'll start with um where Okay, yes, right over here.
7:59 Yes.
8:02 For Mother's Day, I want my kids to not say the word mom all day.
8:06 Ask dad to get your goddamn Fruit Roll-Ups.
8:12 For Mother's Day, I want a card, a nice card,
8:16 and the card should have a gift certificate to a spa in it.
8:19 And the spa should be run by a masseur named Jonathan in Studio City.
8:24 And Jonathan should be free for a few hours.
8:29 And ready to start a new life with me.
8:33 For Mother's Day, I want a CPAP machine.
8:36 Not for me, for my husband Glenn.
8:39 It's like sleeping next to a walrus playing a tuba.
8:42 Figure it out, Glenn.
8:45 Call me old-fashioned, but this Mother's Day,
8:47 I'd love to start doing coke again.
8:52 For Mother's Day, I want a bottle of champagne,
8:55 some chocolate-covered strawberries,
8:56 and 10 crazy minutes with a certain mustachioed security guard.
9:06 For Mother's Day, I want you to jam that Yankee Candle straight up your ass.
9:12 Oh, thank you guys for being so honest.
9:14 I really appreciate it.
9:16 And it's helpful because now we know now we know what gifts they want.
9:22 And we also thought it might be fun to ask moms
9:24 walking by on Hollywood Boulevard when
9:27 specifically the miracle of conception began.
9:30 We asked mothers when they conceived their children
9:33 in front of the children they conceived.
9:37 So, we're out here, we're talking to kids with their moms about Mother's Day,
9:40 and we're trying to kind of take it back to where it all started, conception.
9:44 Do you remember conceiving your girls?
9:48 Yes.
9:49 This one, my husband and I had to sneak
9:52 into my son's room because he was sleeping in our bed.
9:57 And and and my son had like Finding Nemo sheets on his bed.
10:02 Mom, don't say this.
10:03 It's true.
10:04 And it was not hot, but you know, my husband was desperate, so
10:08 Do you remember the posish?
10:11 No.
10:11 No, I can't.
10:12 No.
10:13 Where are you guys from?
10:14 We're from Poland.
10:15 From Pol- Does your mom speak any English?
10:17 She doesn't know.
10:18 Can you ask your mom if she can remember the night that you were conceived?
10:23 Yeah.
10:31 She says she doesn't She She doesn't recall, no.
10:34 How often was she exploring your father's body around that time?
10:47 It was very very often.
10:51 That's awkward for me.
10:52 That's like really awkward for me.
10:54 Can she remember if she had an orgasm?
11:06 YES, OF COURSE.
11:11 DO YOU REMEMBER CONCEIVING YOUR SON?
11:13 OH, MY, YES.
11:14 He slept over the night my parents were not at home in my parents' bedroom.
11:20 You were defiling your parents' bed all the time back then?
11:23 Occasionally, every you know Yeah, I'll go again.
11:26 Got to cover up here.
11:27 This is painful.
11:28 Would you like to tell your mom how you lost your virginity?
11:32 No.
11:32 Sure.
11:34 Sure.
11:35 And we took the van to a Target parking lot.
11:39 And cuz we didn't have a house, you know,
11:40 I wouldn't go I wouldn't do it in the back home.
11:42 And it all worked out and you didn't do it in your mom's bed.
11:44 Right.
11:45 It was in my van though.
11:47 Right.
11:47 It was her van.
11:48 Oh, it was her van.
11:49 Oh, it was his van too.
11:50 It was your van?
11:52 Yes, that was my van.
11:53 What you do?
11:55 I had sex in our van.
11:57 Oh.
12:01 Well, that's you know what?
12:02 That's kind of him for owning a van.
