>> Dicky: FROM HOLLYWOOD, IT'S "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE"! TONIGHT ‐‐
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS, SOLEIL MOON FRYE, AND MUSIC FROM
LORD HURON. AND NOW, JIMMY KIMMEL!
>> Jimmy: HI THERE, I'M JIMMY. I'M THE HOST OF THE SHOW.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE IN
HOLLYWOOD. YOU KNOW, CANNABIS, WHICH IS THE
FRENCH WORD FOR MARIJUANA ‐‐
[ LAUGHTER ]
HAS BEEN LEGAL FOR RECREATIONAL USE HERE IN OUR STATE SINCE 2016.
BEFORE THAT, YOU HAD TO PRETEND YOU HAD BACK PROBLEMS.
HAD TO GET A FAKE DOCTOR'S NOTE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND OF COURSE, MANY FEARED THAT LEGALIZING IT WOULD LEAD TO A
CRIME WAVE OR SOME KIND OF MORAL COLLAPSE.
REALLY, ALL IT DID WAS DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF NAPS WE TAKE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND OUR FAVORITE GUMMIES ARE NO LONGER "BEAR."
[ LAUGHTER ]
GUMMIES ARE LIKE YOGA PANTS NOW. LIKE EVERY MOM HAS THEM, RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
LEGALIZED CANNABIS HAS BEEN A RESOUNDING SUCCESS PRETTY MUCH
EVERYWHERE, SO NOW MORE STATES ARE FOLLOWING SUIT.
AS OF YESTERDAY, NEW JERSEY IS THE 14th STATE TO SAY YES TO
DRUGS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THE GARDEN STATE IS NOW GROWING WEED.
AND IT'S FITTING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN NEW JERSEY BECAUSE
THERE'S No WAY THAT WHOEVER DESIGNED THEIR STATE FLAG WASN'T
HIGH WHEN THEY DID IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS. YOU GOT TWO WOMEN, ONE HAS A HAT
ON A STICK, A SHIELD, A HORSE HEAD, A BACKDROP THE COLOR OF MY
MOM'S KITCHEN IN 1981.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEY SHOULD MAKE ROLLING PAPERS OUT OF THIS FLAG.
POT WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN JERSEY FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT
WE HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS HERE OUT WEST, SO IN THE
MEANTIME, WE CAME UP WITH A FEW CUSTOM STRAIN NAMES FOR OUR
FRIENDS IN NEW JERSEY. THIS IS OUR BUDTENDER, GUILLERMO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE'VE COME UP WITH SOME PRODUCT THAT IS YOU FOLKS IN NEW JERSEY
MAY ENJOY WHEN IT IS LEGAL TO SELL THEM. FIRST WE HAVE ‐‐
BONG JOVI. HOBE‐TOKEN. CHRIS CRISPY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
FUGH‐EDIBLES. BRUCE SPRINGSTONED.
DANK SINATRA. BUD‐A‐BING.
JERSEY TURNPIPE. AND FINALLY, GANJA‐GOOL!
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE SHOULD PUSH THIS ONTO THE STREET, SEE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU
CAN MAKE.
>> Dicky: I THINK I GOT TO PUT IT IN MY CAR.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
THANK YOU, GUILLERMO. NEXT MONTH, WE'LL DO VERMONT.
BERNIE IS A GOOD ONE FROM VERMONT.
TONIGHT, WE WILL BE JOINED BY THE SENATOR, PROGRESSIVE ICON,
AND MITTEN INFLUENCER, SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
FOLLOWED BY SOLEIL MOON FRYE. MY GOAL TONIGHT IS TO GET BERNIE
TO SAY "PUNKY BREWSTER."
[ LAUGHTER ]
PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY HELD A VIRTUAL MEETING WITH CANADIAN
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU. TRUDEAU IS ALMOST THIRTY YEARS
YOUNGER THAN BIDEN. THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF THE CALL
WAS HIM TELLING JOE HE'S ON MUTE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THE PURPOSE OF TODAY'S SUMMIT WAS TO "REINVIGORATE" OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH AND REPAIR SOME OF
THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
I'M GLAD. IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID
"SORRY" TO CANADA FOR ONCE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THIS WAS THE PRESIDENT'S FIRST VIRTUAL BILATERAL MEETING.
WHICH SOUNDS SEXY BUT IT WASN'T.
[ LAUGHTER ]
NEXT WEEK HE'S PLANNING A TIKTOK WITH ANGELA MERKEL SO THAT WILL
BE FUN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SPEAKING OF FOREIGN LEADERS, REMEMBER BACK IN 2019 WHEN TRUMP
MET KIM JONG‐UN IN VIETNAM, THEY HAD A SUMMIT THERE?
WELL, ACCORDING TO A FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIAL,
AFTER THE SUMMIT, TRUMP OFFERED TO GIVE KIM A RIDE HOME ON AIR
FORCE ONE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
FOR REAL. HE SAID, "IT'S FINE, TAKE ERIC'S
SEAT, WE'LL LEAVE HIM HERE."
[ LAUGHTER ]
APPARENTLY THE OFFER HAD TO BE RESCINDED BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T
ENOUGH SEATBELT EXTENDERS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
OH, AND ALSO, FOR THAT REASON AND ALSO BECAUSE KIM JONG‐UN IS
A MURDERER, SO THAT TOO. WHAT A RIDE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
SOUNDS LIKE THE PREMISE FOR A MOVIE. "SEOUL PLANE."
[ APPLAUSE ]
SAVE YOUR COMMENTS, I KNOW, IT'S THE WRONG KOREA.
BUT "PYONGANG PLANE" DOESN'T ROLL OFF THE TONGUE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
FATTY LaBELLE IS GETTING BACK ON STAGE THIS WEEKEND.
HE'LL BE AT CPAC, THE ANNUAL CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL ACTION
CONFERENCE. WE HAVEN'T SEEN DONALD TRUMP IN
A WHILE. HOW MUCH McNUGGET RAGE WEIGHT DO
YOU THINK HE'S PUT ON?
[ LAUGHTER ]
LINDSEY GRAHAM WAS HYPING UP TRUMP'S APPEARANCE ON "HANNITY"
LAST NIGHT. REMEMBER SIX WEEKS AGO WHEN
LINDSEY SAID "COUNT ME OUT" AND "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" OF TRUMP?
WELL, NEITHER DOES HE.
>> EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD RALLY AROUND IT.
I THINK IT WILL HELP US WITH INDEPENDENTS.
I'VE NEVER FELT BETTER ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEAVING THE
PARTY THAN RIGHT NOW.
>> Jimmy: REALLY? THEN WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE
ABOUT TO BARF UP YOUR GRAPE NUTS?
[ LAUGHTER ]
LINDSEY SPENT LAST WEEKEND WITH TRUMP AT MAR‐A‐LAGO SO HE HAS
SOME INSIGHT AS TO WHAT THE GREAT HAIR‐DINI MIGHT PULL OUT
OF HIS MAGA HAT NEXT.
>> ANY INSIGHT AS TO WHETHER THE PRESIDENT ‐‐
>> YES.
>> ‐‐ HAS MADE UP HIS MIND ABOUT RUNNING IN 2024?
>> STAY TUNED.
>> Jimmy: OKAY, NOW I'M GOING TO BARF UP MY GROUP NUTS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN?
IF HE COMES BACK, YOU GUYS ARE ON YOUR OWN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M GOING TO LIVE WITH HILLARY IN THE WOODS.
MIKE PENCE, BY THE WAY, WILL NOT BE ATTENDING CPAC, EVEN THOUGH
THEY DID REACH OUT AND ASSURE HIM THAT HE'D BE SAFE FROM ALL
THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO KILL HIM LAST MONTH.
CPAC, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, IS AN ANNUAL EVENT.
IT'S LIKE COMIC‐CON FOR NEO‐CONS AND NEO‐NAZIS.
THIS YEAR, THE FESTIVITIES WILL BE HELD IN ORLANDO.
THE THEME IS "AMERICA UNCANCELLED."
THIS IS THEIR BIG THING. WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
YESTERDAY, THEY CANCELED ONE OF THE SPEAKERS THEY HAD SCHEDULED.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEY THE WHITED, WE HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT SOMEONE WE INVITED
TO CPAC HAS EXPRESSED REPREHENSIBLE VIEWS ‐‐ ONLY ONE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
THAT HAVE NO HOME WITH OUR CONFERENCE OR OUR ORGANIZATION.
THE INDIVIDUAL WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING AT OUR CONFERENCE.
THAT INDIVIDUAL WAS A RAPPER WHO I'VE NEVER HEARD OF
CALLED YOUNG PHARAOH. YOUNG WILL NO LONGER BE
APPEARING AT CPAC. AFTER HE TWEETED "JUDAISM IS A
BIG LIE" THAT WAS "CREATED FOR POLITICAL GAIN." OOPS.
SORRY JARED!
[ LAUGHTER ]
SORRY, IVANKA. BUT EVEN WITHOUT YOUNG PHARAOH,
THEY HAVE A HELLUVA LINEUP. SOME ARE SAYING THIS COULD BE
THE BEST C‐PAC YET.
>> THIS WEEKEND, IT'S CPAC 2021 WITH OUR MOST EPIC LINEUP YET!
INCLUDING COLONEL SENATOR SANDERS! THE CRAZY GUN LADY!
EL SENATOR TED CRUZ! ACTORS YOU THOUGHT WERE DEAD!
BOURBON, THE MUPPET THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE! CHINLESS DON JR.
CRAZY LARRY KUDLOW. AND CRYSTAL GAYLE.
AND THE REASON YOUR FAMILY DOESN'T SPEAK ANYMORE, PRESIDENT
DONALD J. TRUMP! NO DISTANCE, NO MASKS, BE HERE
IN PERSON!
CPAC 2021 ONLY IN ORLANDO!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: WOW. CRYSTAL GAYLE?
RUDY GIULIANI IS NOT ON THE LIST AT CPAC.
HE IS NO LONGER REPRESENTING DONALD TRUMP.
AND HIS NEXT CLIENT COULD BE HIMSELF.
LAST MONTH, RUDY GOT HIT WITH A $1.3 BILLION LAWSUIT FROM
DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS. THEY'RE SUING HIM FOR SPREADING
MISINFORMATION ABOUT THEIR MACHINES.
AND APPARENTLY THEY HAD A HECK OF A TIME SERVING HIM WITH
PAPERS. YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO SUE SOMEONE YOU HAVE TO TOUCH THEM
WITH THE DOCUMENT TO GET THE LAWSUIT GOING.
BUT EVERY TIME THE PROCESS SERVER GOT CLOSE, RUDY WOULD
TRANSFORM INTO A BAT AND FLY AWAY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
NO REALLY. AT ONE POINT, THE SERVER JAMMED
THE LAWSUIT INTO THE DOOR OF AN SUV GIULIANI GOT INTO, BUT
RUDY'S DOORMAN GRABBED AN UMBRELLA AND PRIED IT OUT ONTO
THE GROUND. YOU KNOW, IF THEY REALLY WANTED
TO GET THOSE PAPERS TO RUDY, THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD BORAT'S
DAUGHTER STUFF THEM IN HIS PANTS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
MEANWHILE, JEFF BEZOS IS
‐‐ HAS AN INTERESTING NEXT MOVE. JEFF BEZOS HAS REPORTEDLY
EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE WASHINGTON NFL TEAM.
HE APPARENTLY GOT THE IDEA TO BUY THE TEAM WHEN HE RANDOMLY
FOUND A BILLION DOLLAR BILL IN HIS SHORTS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
IF THIS HAPPENS, BEZOS WOULD NOT ONLY BE THE RICHEST OWNER IN THE
NFL, BUT ALSO THE ONE WHO LOOKS MOST LIKE A FOOTBALL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS GOOD. I THINK WE MAY HAVE FOUND THE
NEXT JEFF BEZOS. I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST WAY.
SHE'S A THIRD GRADER AND HER UNCLE POSTED A STORY ON TWITTER.
IT'S QUITE A THREAD. A FEW WEEKS AGO, SOPHIA CAME UP
WITH A VERY CLEVER WAY TO LOCK HERSELF OUT OF ZOOM SO SHE
WOULDN'T HAVE TO SIT THROUGH SCHOOL.
I AM GOING TO LET HER EXPLAIN HOW SHE DID IT.
MAYBE YOU WANT TO TRY IT YOURSELF.
JOINING US NOW, FROM ELK GROVE,
CALIFORNIA, WITH HER MOM SOPHIA ROLLINS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
>> Jimmy: I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE ZOOM, SO THANKS FOR JOINING US.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO ONE MORNING, LIKE MILLIONS OF KIDS IN AMERICA, YOU SAT DOWN TO
LOG IN TO ONLINE SCHOOL. BUT INSTEAD OF LOGGING IN, WHAT
DID YOU DO?
>> WELL, I ‐‐ I LOGGED OUT OF MY CLASSROOM.
AFTER, LIKE, FIVE MINUTES. AND DID MY PASSWORD WRONG A
COUPLE TIMES. AND IT MADE IT SO I COULDN'T LOG
BACK IN, SO I TOLD MY MOM THAT SCHOOL'S BROKEN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: SCHOOL'S BROKEN. SO YOU FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU
ENTER THE WRONG PASSWORD ENOUGH TIMES, ZOOM WOULD LOCK YOU OUT
PERMANENTLY, RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEN WHAT WOULD YOU TELL YOUR MOM?
>> I WOULD TELL HER THAT, LIKE, SCHOOL'S BROKEN.
IT'S NOT GETTING FIXED.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: HOW LONG DID THIS GO ON?
>> IT WENT ON FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, ALMOST THREE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: AND DURING THAT TWO OR THREE WEEKS, DID YOU TELL ANYONE
WHAT YOU WERE UP TO? TELL YOUR FRIENDS OR ANYBODY?
>> NO. I WAS ‐‐ AFTER ONE WEEK, I WAS
GOING TO TELL MY MOM. BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD GET IN SO
MUCH TROUBLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: RIGHT, THAT'S HOW A LOT OF CRIMES HAPPEN.
AND KAIRSTEN, WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS HAPPENING?
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS LEGITIMATE ZOOM ERROR.
I WAS CALLING I. T., TALKED TO THE TEACHER, HAD THE COMPUTER
TEACHER HELP US. IT WAS SO MUCH WORK.
>> Jimmy: SOFIA, YOU WERE SITTING THERE WHILE THE COMPUTER
TEACH WATERS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, YOU KNEW YOU HAD A SECRET
BUT YOU DIDN'T SHARE IT?
>> YEAH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S GOOD. SO YOUR DAUGHTER'S SKIPPING
SCHOOL AT A NINTH GRADE LEVEL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HOW DID YOU GET CAUGHT, SOFIA?
>> WELL, MY MOMMY'S FRIEND
CHERI, SHE WAS IN THE CORNER AT MY HOUSE, AND SHE WAS SECRETLY
WATCHING ME THE WHOLE TIME AND SAW ME LOG OUT.
>> Jimmy: CHERIE IS WHAT WE CALL A RAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
KAIRSTEN, WHEN CHERIE TOLD YOU WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHAT DID YOU
FEEL, PRIDE OR ANGER?
>> THERE WERE EXPLETIVES.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> BUT I WAS A LITTLE PROUD SHE PULLED IT OFF.
BUT MOSTLY I WAS PRETTY MAD.
>> Jimmy: DOES CRIME RUN IN YOUR FAMILY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> Jimmy: AND WAS THERE A PUNISHMENT FOR THIS?
>> YES. I HAD NO TV FOR FIVE DAYS.
>> Jimmy: NO TV FOR FIVE DAYS, BUT NO SCHOOL FOR THREE WEEKS,
RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU WERE LEARNING WHEN YOU DECIDED, I'M
GETTING OUT OF HERE? DO YOU REMEMBER THE SUBJECT?
THAT TIPPED YOU OVER THE EDGE?
>> WELL, IT WAS JUST BECAUSE NO ONE WAS TOGETHER, AND I MISSED
ALL MY FRIENDS AND TEACHERS.
>> Jimmy: I DON'T BLAME YOU. YOU WROTE AN APOLOGY LETTER TO
YOUR TEACHER. I THINK WE HAVE THAT, LET'S PUT
THAT UP ON THE SCREEN. I'M SO SORRY THAT I LOGGED OUT
OF SCHOOL, I LOGGED OUT AND MADE A BIG PROBLEM, I MADE IT SO
EVERYONE WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT ME, I FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT IT, I
WISH I DID NOT DO IT, I WILL NEVER, EVER DO IT AGAIN, LOVE,
SOFIA. P.S., I LOVE YOU AND I AM
SOOOOOO, LIKE 25 Os, SORRY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH. I USED YOUR TRICK TO GET OUT OF
TWO ZOOM BIRTHDAY PARTIES ALREADY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SOFIA, WHAT JOB DO YOU WANT TO HAVE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
>> I WANT TO BE A VET BECAUSE I
REALLY LIKE ANIMALS.
>> Jimmy: VERY GOOD. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO GET OUT OF
CLASS NOW?
>> I WON'T.
>> Jimmy: THANK SO MUCH. ONE OTHER THING.
SOFIA, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO OTHER KIDS WATCHING THAT MIGHT WANT TO
DO THE SAME THING THAT YOU DID?
>> DO NOT DO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT FUN IN THE END, AT ALL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YEAH, TILL YOU WIND UP ON TV, I GUESS, RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THE LESSON IS, CRIME PAYS. THANK YOU, KAIRSTEN.
THANK YOU, SOFIA. LET US KNOW WHEN YOU INVENT A
VACCINE, OKAY?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE HAVE A GOOD SHOW TONIGHT. SOLEIL MOON FRYE IS HERE.
WE HAVE MUSIC FROM LORD HURON. AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS.
>> Jimmy: HI, THERE, WELCOME BACK. SOLEIL MOON FRYE IS HERE.
SHE HAS AN EXCELLENT NEW DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HER LIFE
DURING "PUNKY BREWSTER" AND BEYOND.
THEN LATER, A VERY GIFTED BAND FROM RIGHT HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
THEIR NEXT LIVESTREAM, "ALIVE FROM WHISPERING PINES" DEBUTS
APRIL 15th. WE HAVE MUSIC FROM LORD HURON.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
TOMORROW NIGHT, JENNIFER CONNELLY AND
KEVIN GARNETT WILL JOIN US, WITH MUSIC FROM TOBY WEEGWAY.
AND ON THURSDAY, STEVE HARVEY, MICHAEL PENA, AND MUSIC FROM
AVA MAX. PLEASE JOUN US FOR THAT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
OUR FIRST GUEST TONIGHT CARES MORE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
THAN MOST OF US CARE ABOUT OURSELVES.
HE IS THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE BUDGET COMMITTEE.
PLEASE WELCOME SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS FROM VERMONT!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HELLO, SENATOR.
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
>> Jimmy: GREAT TO SEE YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
ARE YOU IN YOUR OFFICE IN D. C. OR A HOTEL ROOM IN CANCUN RIGHT
NOW?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WELL ‐‐ YEAH. IN D. C.
>> Jimmy: MAY I ASK, WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS TO
ONE OF YOUR FELLOW SENATORS, DOES ANYONE BRING IT UP?
OR DO YOU PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN?
>> DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF THE AISLE YOU'RE ON, IT IS
BROUGHT UP, YES.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: IT IS BROUGHT UP. ARE YOU ENJOYING BEING IN CHARGE
OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE?
>> I AM. IT'S A LOT OF FUN BECAUSE, AS
YOU CAN APPRECIATE, THE BUDGET DEALS WITH ALL ASPECTS OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IN FACT, ALL ASPECTS OF AMERICAN
LIFE. AND WE INTEND TO DO A NUMBER OF
HEARINGS, ARE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE GAP BETWEEN
THE VERY RICH AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS GROWING WIDER, WHY HALF OF
OUR PEOPLE ARE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, WHY SO MANY OF OUR
PEOPLE ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, AND WHY MANY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ‐‐ WE'RE DOING A HEARING ON THIS THIS
WEEK ‐‐ WHY SEASON OF OUR PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, ARE
WOG FOR STARVATION WAGES.
>> Jimmy: LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> LET'S DO IT.
>> Jimmy: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRYING TO GET THE MINIMUM WAGE
RAISED FEDERALLY?
>> WELL, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. WHEN I RAN FOR PRESIDENT IN
2016, I CALLED FOR A $15 AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE.
AT THAT POINT, HM, FRANKLY, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE SUPPORTED IT.
TODAY THE LAST POLL THAT I SAW HAD 61% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
IN SUPPORT.
>> Jimmy: I'M SURPRISED IT'S NOT HIGHER, ACTUALLY, I REALLY AM.
I THINK BACK TO WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND MAKING MINIMUM
WAGE WORKING AT A CLOTHING STORE, A PIZZA PLACE, $3.35 BACK
THEN. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF
THE STATES. IT'S $7.25 NOW. IN THE YEAR 2021, PEOPLE ARE
MAKING $7.25 AN HOUR. THESE ARE NOT HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS. THESE ARE ADULTS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES.
>> JIMMY, THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE.
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THAT.
I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY, AND I HONEST TO GOD CAN RECALL
TALKING TO WORKING MOMS RAISING CHILDREN, TRYING TO DO IT ON
$10.50 AN HOUR, AND YOU CAN'T DO IT. AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WORKING FOR EVEN LESS THAN THAT. THESE ARE ADULTS, YOU KNOW,
THEY'VE GOT TO PAY RENT, THEY NEED TO HAVE ALL THE BASIC
NECESSITIES OF LIFE, THEY NEED TO FEED THEIR KIDS.
AND ONE OF THE GREAT CRISES THAT WE'RE FACING IS THAT SO MANY OF
OUR PEOPLE IN THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE
WORLD ARE LITERALLY STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
AND WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE THAT. $15 AN HOUR, AND BY THE WAY,
IT'S OVER A FOUR‐YEAR PERIOD, IS NOT A RADICAL IDEA.
YOU UNDERSTAND. YOU MAKE 15 BUCKS AN HOUR, YOU
ARE NOT GETTING RICH.
>> Jimmy: NO.
>> BUT AT LEAST, AT LEAST YOU HAVE A SHOT TO LIVE WITH A
MINIMUM OF DIGNITY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF
THE STRESS AND PRESSURE THAT'S ON YOU RIGHT NOW TRYING TO
SURVIVE ON STARVATION WAGES.
>> Jimmy: I'VE HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT THIS.
I THINK ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS IS, BECAUSE THERE ARE
SOME PEOPLE THAT SAY, WELL, HOUN ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO RUN A
BUSINESS IF YOU HAVE TO PAY ALL YOUR WORKERS $15 AN HOUR?
I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT. I THINK PROBABLY IN SOME CASES
THAT IS TRUE. BUT ULTIMATELY, WHEN YOU PAY
YOUR WORKERS $7 AN HOUR, WE ALL WIND UP PAYING FOR IT ANYWAY.
>> JIMMY, THAT'S AN ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT POINT AND WE'RE GOING
TO BE DISCUSSING IT THIS WEEK AT A HEARING.
HERE IS THE POINT, AND I WANT EVERYBODY TO HEAR THIS.
RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE WALMART, WHICH IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN
AMERICA, OWNED BY THE WALTON FAMILY, WHO ARE WORTH $200
BILLION. THEY'RE THE WEALTHIEST FAMILY IN
AMERICA. AND ABOUT HALF OF THEIR WORKERS
EARN LESS THAN $15 AN HOUR. THEIR STARTING WAGE IS $11 AN
HOUR. AND WHEN YOU ARE PAYING PEOPLE
STARVATION WAGES, THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO GET FOOD STAMPS.
THEY NEED TO GET MEDICAID. THEY NEED TO GET PUBLIC HOUSING,
PERHAPS. THEY NEED HELP IN ORDER TO
SURVIVE. AND IT IS THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS
COUNTRY, MIDDLE‐CLASS, WORKING‐CLASS PEOPLE, WHO ARE
PAYING THOSE TAXES IN ORDER TO SUBSIDIZE THE WEALTHIEST FAMILY
IN AMERICA. AND THAT IS ABSURD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
A MULTIBILLION‐DOLLAR FAMILY, THE RICHEST FAMILY IN AMERICA,
CAN AFFORD TO PAY THEIR WORKERS FAIR WINS.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU HAVE THESE HEARINGS, WILL MEMBERS OF THE
WALTON FAMILY BE THERE, THE CEOs, CAN YOU COMPEL THEM TO
COME AND EXPLAIN?
>> WE CAN COMPEL THEM BUT WE'RE NOT COMPELLING THEM NOW.
AT THIS POINT WE'VE INVITED THEM. WE'VE INVITED THEMcDONALD'S TO
BE THERE. THEY WILL NOT BE THERE. BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE
HEAD OF COSTCO WILL BE THERE.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S BECAUSE COSTCO IS THE BEST.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> COSTCO IS A COMPANY THAT HAS A VERY DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODEL
THAN WALMART OR MANY ‐‐ DOLLAR GENERAL, OTHER LARGE COMPANIES.
THEY RESPECT THEIR EMPLOYEES. THERE'S NOBODY WORKING FOR
COSTCO THAT MAKES LESS THAN $15 AN HOUR. AND THE MORALE OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES IS HIGH. THE TURNOVER IS LOW.
AND THAT COMPANY IS A SENSIBLE BUSINESS APPROACH.
>> Jimmy: AND IT MAKES THE PEST PEOPLE WANT TO GO WORK AT COSTCO.
IT DOES MAKE SENSE IN A LOT OF WAYS.
>> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, WHEN WORKER MORALE IS
HIGH, WHEN THERE IS NOT ABSENTEEISM, WHEN THERE IS NOT
TURNOVER, IT MAKES FOR A BETTER COMPANY. AND A WELL‐RUN COMPANY.
AND I THINK THEY ARE PROOF OF THAT.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU ARE CHAIRMAN OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE, DO YOU
ENJOY BANGING THE GAVEL?
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND IS THE GAVEL YOUR GAVEL, OR A COMMUNITY GAVEL THAT HAS BEEN
THERE?
>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK I PROBABLY END UP WITH
IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ONE OF THE THINGS, AS I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE IS NOW WORKING REALLY HARD IS ON RECONCILIATION WHAT
WE CALL THE RECONCILIATION PACKAGES.
IT IS AN EFFORT RIGHT NOW, $1.9 TRILLION BEING PUSHED BY
PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHICH ATTEMPTS TO DEAL WITH THE ENORMOUS
CRISES, UNPRECEDENTED CRISES, FACING OUR COUNTRY TODAY.
SO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY
WORKING‐CLASS FAMILY IN AMERICA, $75,000 FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR
LESS, $150,000 OR LESS FOR A FAMILY, INCLUDING CHILDREN, WILL
GET ON TOP OF THE $600 THEY GOT LAST MONTH, A $1,400 CHECK.
A FAMILY OF FOUR GETS $5,600. WE ARE EXPANDING THE CHILD TAX
YET, WHICH WILL CUT CHILDHOOD POVERTY IN HALF IN AMERICA.
AND THAT IS NO SMALL THING.
>> Jimmy: NO, NOT AT ALL. AND THE HIGHEST‐RANKING
REPUBLICAN IN YOUR COMMITTEE IS LINDSEY GRAHAM, WHO IS ‐‐ IS HE
SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN WORK WITH? BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WELL, I WILL LET SENATOR GRAHAM SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.
YOU KNOW, WE GET ALONG. YOU KNOW, I'M CHAIRMAN OF THE
COMMITTEE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO RAISE ISSUES THAT
HISTORICALLY HAVE NOT BEEN RAISED VERY OFTEN.
SO OUR JOB RIGHT NOW IN RECONCILIATION, AND WE HOPE TO
HAVE SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR LITERALLY NEXT WEEK, IS TO
ADDRESS THE HEALTH CARE CRISIS, THE EDUCATIONAL CRISIS, THE
MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT KIDS ‐‐ I KNOW
YOU JUST ABOUT TALKING ABOUT IT. YOU GOT KIDS WHOSE LIVES HAVE
BEEN DISRUPTED. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TO SCHOOL.
THEIR SOCIAL LIFE HAS BEEN IMPACTED.
ENORMOUS MENTAL DISTRESS IN THIS COUNTRY.
WE GOT MONEY IN THERE TO TRY TO HELP THAT.
SO THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION
THAT WE HOPE TO GET PAST.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S RIGHT WE MET AN 8‐YEAR‐OLD WHO TURNED TO A LIFE
OF CRIME AS A RESULT OF THIS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ALL RIGHT, SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS IS WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: WE'RE BACK. SOLEIL MOON FREY AND MUSIC FROM
LORD HURON IS COMING UP. SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS IS WITH
US. MAY I SAY, YOU LOOK BETTER THAN
I'VE SEEN YOU LOOK IN A LONG TIME, YOU LOOK REALLY GOOD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU BEEN VACCINATED?
>> I HAVE, ACTUALLY.
>> Jimmy: WE'VE BEEN FOCUSED ON COVID FOR OBVIOUS REASONS BUT IT
SEEMS ATTENTION HAS DRIFTED AWAY FROM HEALTH CARE, WHICH IS, OF
COURSE, THEY'RE KIND OF ONE AND THE SAME, AND SO MANY PEOPLE
HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF COVID‐19.
I HOPE AND EXPECT THAT JOE BIDEN MADE YOU SOME PROMISES IN THE
AREA OF HEALTH CARE IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT.
>> WELL, THE PRESIDENT AND I HAVE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ON
HEALTH CARE. I DO SUPPORT MEDICARE FOR ALL.
I DO THINK IT'S ABSURD THAT WHEN WE ARE SPENDING TWICE AS MUCH
PER CAPITA ON HEALTH CARE AS ANY OTHER MAJOR COUNTRY, WE'VE GOT
90 MILLION PEOPLE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED,
60,000 PEOPLE DIE EVERY YEAR BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET TO A
DOCTOR WHEN THEY SHOULD, IN SOME TIMES WE'RE PLAYING 10 TIMES
MORE FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAN THEY DO IN CANADA AND SOME OTHER
COUNTRIES. I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO TAKE ON
THE GREED OF INSURANCE COMPANIES AND PASS MEDICARE FOR ALL.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO DO IS EXPAND THE AFFORDABLE CARE
ACT, WHICH IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND I'LL WORK
WITH THEM ON THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I
WOULD HOPE THAT WE CONCLUDE, HEALTH CARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT,
WHETHER YOU'RE RICH OR WHETHER YOU'RE POOR.
AND THE FUNCTION OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS TO PROVIDE
QUALITY CARE FOR ALL, NOT TO MAJOR HUGE PROFITS FOR THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES AND DRUG COMPANIES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: AS FAR AS THE PLANET GOES, WHO IN YOUR OPINION IS
MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POWER OUTAGES IN TEXAS?
IS IT AOC OR WINDMILLS?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WELL, MAYBE THE FOLKS IN TEXAS MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
BUT YOU KNOW, THE TRUTH IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN TEXAS, WHAT HAS
HAPPENED IN MANY PARTS OF OUR COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD,
TELLS US THAT IN THE LONG RUN, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE
IF WE IGNORE THE EXISTENTIAL THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE THAN IF
WE TRANSFORM OUR ENERGY SYSTEM AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUEL.
AND BY THE WAY, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE RECONCILIATION
PACKAGE. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. DEALING WITH THE EMERGENCIES
THAT WORKING FAMILIES FACE NOW. AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT ON THE
FLOOR NEXT WEEK. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER BILL COMING
DOWN WHICH WILL DEAL WITH THE NEED TO TRANSFORM OUR ENERGY
SYSTEM, CREATE MILLIONS OF GOOD‐PAYING JOBS, COMBATING
CLIMATE CHANGE, REBUILDING OUR CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE.
SOME 10% OF OUR WORKFORCE TODAY IS UNEMPLOYED, WE'VE GOT TO PUT
PEOPLE BACK TO WORK AT GOOD WAGES, AND THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO
DO THAT.
>> Jimmy: HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE ABSURDITY OF SOMETHING LIKE
BLAMING THE POWER OUTAGES ON WINDMILLS?
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH, AND OBVIOUSLY
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM THE TRUTH AND FROM THE
REAL ISSUES. BUT HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT AS
A HUMAN BEING?
>> WELL, I'LL TELL YOU HOW. IT'S HARD, IT REALLY IS.
LOOK, I MEAN, A LOT OF REPUBLICANS WHO ARE DECENT HUMAN
BEINGS, THEY'RE GOOD FATHERS AND MOTHERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT
ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, UNDER TRUMP, WE HAVE SEEN THIS COUNTRY
AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MOVE, TO MY MIND, VERY FAR AWAY FROM
REALITY. AND THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT
COLLEAGUES OF MINE IN THE SENATE WHO REFUSE EVEN TODAY TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DONALD TRUMP LOST THE ELECTION.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT? HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE BIG
LIES, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES, HOW DO YOU
DEAL WITH A MASSIVE EFFORT TO UNDERMINE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY BY
CLAIMING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THE CAMPAIGN, THE BIDEN VICTORY,
WAS A FRAUD, WASN'T REAL? SO IT IS ‐‐ IT'S NOT EASY TO
DEAL WITH. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT
NOW IS WE ARE REACHING OUT TO REPUBLICANS AND SAYING, LOOK, IF
YOU WANT TO REBUILD OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, COME ON ABOARD.
YOU WANT TO LOWER THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, YOU WANT TO
PROVIDE HEALTH CARE TO ALL PEOPLE, YOU WANT TO RAISE
MINIMUM WAGE IN THIS COUNTRY? WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
BUT IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO COME ON BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO GO
FORWARD AND DO IT ALONE. 50 VOTES PLUS THE VICE
PRESIDENT, WE CAN DO IT IN THE SENATE.
WE'VE GOT THE VOTES IN THE HOUSE. THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO DO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: AND YOU'VE GOT A GAVEL TO HIT THEM OVER THE HEAD IF YOU
NEED TO. THANK YOU, SENATOR. BERNIE SANDERS, THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE'LL BE BACK WITH SOLEIL MOON FREY.

>> TRULY, I AM SUCH A BIG FAN.
>> Jimmy: I AM OF YOU TOO. I HAVE TO SAY, THIS DOCUMENTARY
IS JUST GREAT. IT IS GREAT TO WATCH.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL TELL YOU ANOTHER THING I SAID TO MY
WIFE. YOU SEEM LIKE A VERY GOOD PERSON.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ME CRYING
WITHIN MOMENTS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
IT MEANS SO MUCH. TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO SHARE IT
WITH THE WORLD IS SUCH APRIL INCREDIBLE FEELING, SO THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: A LITTLE BIT OF BACKSTORY.
AS A KID, YOU TOOK A LOT OF VIDEO.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: TONS OF VIDEO.
>> I CARRIED A DIARY FROM THE TIME I WAS 5.
I HAD AN AUDIO RECORDER AT 12. AND BY THE TIME I WAS A
TEENAGER, I DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING AND FILMED
EVERYTHING, GROWING UP HERE IN LOS ANGELES, THEN IN NEW YORK.
THEN I LOCKED IT AWAY FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN TUPPERWARE.
LOCKED AWAY IN VAULTS.
>> Jimmy: HOW MANY TAPES WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE?
>> HUNDREDS, HUNDREDS OF HOUSE OF FOOTAGE.
AND I JUST LOCKED IT AWAY. A FEW YEARS AGO WAS WONDERING IF
MY LIFE HAD HAPPENED THE WAY I REMEMBERED IT.
AND SO I UNLOCKED THE VAULT. AND IT WAS LIKE UNLOCKING
PANDORA'S BOX.
>> Jimmy: YOU STARTED WATCHING THESE VIDEOS.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: JUST FOR YOUR OWN PLEASURE?
>> I TURNED 40 AND I REALLY WAS WONDERING IF MY LIFE HAD
HAPPENED HOW I HAD THOUGHT IT HAD.
WHAT I REALIZED IS I THINK THAT, ON A SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL, THERE
WAS SO MUCH JOY AND BLISS AND THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF PAIN.
AND I HAD LOST SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY CLOSE TO ME.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> AND SO I DON'T THINK I WANTED TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OR I
WASN'T READY TO DEAL WITH IT. IN UNLOCKING PANDORA'S BOX, I
DISCOVERED TRUE SELF‐LOVE AND SELF S
SELF‐AWARENESS IN A WAY I NEVER UNDERSTOOD.
>> Jimmy: THIS WOULD BE A GREAT DOCUMENTARY EVEN IF WE DIDN'T
KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND OTHER CHARACTERS BUT WE KNOW THEM.
YOU WERE FRIENDS WITH EVERY KID ACTOR FROM THE '90S.
I HAVE A LIST YEAR.
>> THERE'S A SMALL GROUP OF US.
>> Jimmy: MARK GOSS LETTER, BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN, STEPHEN
DORFF, DAVID ARQUETTE, LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, TOBEY MAGUIRE, JENNY
LEWIS, EMANUEL LEWIS, SARA GILBERT ‐‐
>> THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE. THERE'S SO MANY EASTER ALLEGES.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REWIND THE DOC OVER AND OVER TO WATCH
THEM ALL.
>> Jimmy: I WAS DOING THAT, WAIT A MINUTE, ISN'T THAT?
>> IT'S SO WONDERFUL, THOUGH. REALLY, WE HAD SUCH A JOYFUL
INNOCENCE, AND A GROUP OF US WHO WERE TRULY AUTHENTIC FRIEND.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU CAN SEE THAT.
>> YOU CAN SEE THAT, I'M SO HAPPY.
>> Jimmy: IT'S SO STRANGE FOR US TO SEE THAT BECAUSE YOU WERE
DIFFERENT CHARACTERS ON DIFFERENT SHOWS.
THEN TO SEE YOU TOGETHER, IT'S ALMOST LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN
LAVERNE & SHIRLEY WOULD VISIT "HAPPY DAYS" BUT REALLY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I LOVE THAT.
>> Jimmy: I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE ‐‐ BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW WHO SEEMS LIKE A GREAT GUY IS
BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN.
>> YEAH, HE'S AMAZING. HE'S BEEN SUCH A DEAR FRIEND.
>> Jimmy: TO SEE THESE GUYS, MOSTLY GUYS, LOOKING AT THESE
VIDEOS, GUYS YOU WERE ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH, GUYS
WHO WERE JUST YOUR FRIENDS, AND REALLY FOR PEOPLE WHOSE WHOLE
LIVES WERE RECORDED, WERE ON TELEVISION.
WE SAW THEM GROW UP, BUT TO REALLY SEE THEM GROW UP.
YOU CAN SEE HOW EMOTIONAL THEY GET LOOKING AT THIS STUFF.
>> THANK YOU. THIS WAS PRE‐SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE OUR LIVES AND JUST BE FREE AND BE
OURSELVES, YOU KNOW? AND SOMETHING THAT WAS SO
INCREDIBLE FOR ME WAS THAT I REALLY LOVED PEOPLE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW LOVED BACK I WAS BY THOSE PEOPLE.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD THROUGH ONE LENS, TO BE ABLE AS
A JOURNALIST TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVES, WAS AWE‐INSPIRING.
>> Jimmy: YOU SEEM LIKE THE CENTER OF THE GROUP.
>> I MEAN, THERE WAS SUCH AN AMAZING GROUP.
AND REALLY, WHEN I STARTED THE DOCUMENTARY, I DIDN'T WANT IT TO
BE ANYTHING ABOUT ME. I TRIED TO MAKE IT ABOUT
EVERYBODY BUT ME. IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE
DEATH OF PROIVACY, IT ENDED UP BECOMING THE DEATH OF MY OWN
PRIVACY, RIGHT? LITERALLY. I WAS GOING THROUGH IT, KEPT
TURNING IN CUTS. THE QUESTION, WHAT WAS THE GLUE
THAT BROUGHT IT ALL TOGETHER? THEN MY DEAR FRIEND SEAN TOLD ME
ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTARY ‐‐
>> Jimmy: SEAN PENN.
>> SEAN PENN, WHO I HAVE THE HONOR OF WORKING WITH, THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. HE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS
DOCUMENTARY, "SHERMAN'S MARCH," IT STARTED AS ONE JOURNEY AND
BECAME ANOTHER. I CUT A FULL FOUND FOOTAGE
VERSION. I'D NEVER WATCHED ALL THE TAPES.
I HAD TO SIT WITH HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF TAPES AND AUDIOTAPES
AND LIVE THROUGH THE JOY AND ALSO THE HEARTBREAK THAT
HAPPENED ALONG THE WAY AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NO LONGER WITH
US.
>> Jimmy: THERE'S A LOT OF SWEETNESS, TOO.
WE HAVE A PHOTO OF YOU WITH MARK WAHLBERG AND WILL SMITH.
HOW OLD ARE YOU IN THIS PICTURE?
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
>> IT'S ONE OF MY TEEN YEARS.
>> Jimmy: YOU LAD A BIG CRUSH ON MARK WAHLBERG.
>> I DID.
>> Jimmy: ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAD THE CRUSH ON WILL SMITH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I THINK I HAD THE CRUSH ON BOTH OF THEM.
PRETTY SURE I WAS CRUSHING ON BOTH. AS YOU SAW, I HAD A LOT OF
CRUSHES, I REALLY DID. YOU REALLY SEE IT THROUGHOUT.
THERE'S THINGS YOU KNOW ‐‐
>> Jimmy: PUNKY AND MARKEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUPER COUPLE THAT I
DON'T THINK WOULD EVER HAVE BEEN TOPPED.
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IN THIS DOCUMENTARY, AND IT IS ‐‐ IT'S
UNVARNISHED, IS YOU'RE ON STAGE SPEAKING TO A BIG GROUP OF KIDS,
LIKE THEY USED TO DO IN THE '90s, TELLING THEM "SAY NO TO
DRUGS." YOU'RE REALLY SELLING IT.
>> AT THAT TIME, I BASICALLY WAS SAYING NO TO DRUGS.
IT WAS A FEW YEARS LATER THAT ‐‐
>> Jimmy: THEN WE CUT TO YOU TRIPPING ON MUSHROOMS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS IN THE ENTIRE DOCUMENTARY IS OUR
MUSHROOM TRIP. I HAVE TO SAY. JUST SAYING, JUST KEEPING IT
REAL. HERE'S THE GREAT PART ABOUT IT
WITH MY KIDS, RIGHT? I SAID, I'VE REALLY BEEN THROUGH
THINGS, KIDS. THIS WAS A WAY TO SHOW, I'VE
REALLY BEEN THROUGH THINGS, KIDS. YOU TALK ABOUT IT, YOU DON'T
ALWAYS HAVE IT TO SHOW THEM.
>> Jimmy: IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET YOUR KIDS TO EAT THEIR
MUSHROOMS.
>> EXACTLY.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
>> I BELIEVE IN HONESTY, AND I BELIEVE ‐‐ YOU KNOW, TO SHOW MY
DAUGHTERS, WHO ARE ALSO COMING OF AGE, AND THAT I FELT LIKE I
WAS COMING OF AGE AGAIN, TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH THEM, TO
BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE OPEN LINES OF COMMUNICATION, FOR ME, THAT
WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
>> Jimmy: I BELIEVE IN LYING TO MY CHILDREN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> THAT'S OKAY, WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU. WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.
>> Jimmy: WE'LL FIND OUT IF IT WORKS.
YOU ARE ALSO DOING A REBOOT OF "PUNKY BREWSTER.
>> YES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I FEEL LIKE IT'S A CONTINUATION. BECAUSE I'M STILL PUNKY.
IT'S LIKE PUNKY AND I ARE REDISCOVERED OUR PUNKY POWER ALL
OVER AGAIN. IT PREMIERES FEBRUARY 25th.
>> Jimmy: THERE IS A LITTLE GIRL?
>> THERE IS A LITTLE GIRL, IZZY, WHO REMINDS PUNKY OF HEARD.
IT'S ABOUT COMING OF AGE AGAIN. FREDDIE PRINZE JR. PLAYS MY
EX‐HUSBAND AND WE HAVE ALL THESE AMAZING KIDS.
>> WILL WE SEE ANY OF THOSE KIDS DOING MUSHROOMS?
>> I DON'T THINK WE SEE MUSHROOMS BUT WE DEAL WITH REAL
TOPICS IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE ORIGINAL PUNKY BREWSTER DEALT
WITH REAL TOPICS.
>> Jimmy: I LOVED THAT WHEN THEY DID THAT.
>> WE'RE DOING THAT AGAIN, AND I HOPE PEOPLE CAN WATCH IT.
>> Jimmy: PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS, I GUARANTEE IT.
>> Jimmy: KIDNEY" COMES OUT MARCH 12th ON HULU.
SOLEIL MOON FRYE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: BE RIGHT BACK WITH LORD HURON!
>> Dicky: THE "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE" CONCERT SERIES IS
PRESENTED BY MERCEDES‐BENZ. THE BEST OR NOTHING.
>> Dicky: THE "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE" CONCERT SERIES IS
PRESENTED BY MERCEDES‐BENZ. THE BEST OR NOTHING.
>> Jimmy: NOW FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE WILDERNESS, THEIR
NEW SONG IS CALLED "NOT DEAD YET."
