00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:04Tonight, Cary Washington, Congressman Eric Swalwell,
00:09and music, the Lord Hero, with the Klee Tones.
00:14And now, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:30All right, I appreciate that. Hi, Jimmy.
00:33Hey, guys, what's happening?
00:34I'm Jimmy on the basis.
00:37Thanks for being here.
00:41Thanks for joining us.
00:43And I would like to welcome our viewers watching
00:45from around the country, all around the world.
00:48A special hello to those of you who are watching
00:50from the White House, and you know who you are.
00:55I woke up this morning. I'm in bed.
00:57My wife comes out of the bathroom.
00:59She's got her phone. She goes,
01:00Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.
01:05I was like, oh.
01:06And then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids.
01:09It's like...
01:10Late last night, the Angry Orange posted,
01:12Why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel,
01:15a man with no talent, and very poor television ratings,
01:18on the air?
01:19Why do the TV syndicates put up with it?
01:22Also, totally biased coverage.
01:25Get the bum off the air.
01:26On the bum. On the bum.
01:30And he posted this, I think this is interesting,
01:33at 1249 AM, 11 minutes after the show ended on the East Coast,
01:38which is nice. He watches us live.
01:40Hi, Mr. President.
01:41How are ya?
01:43Thanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube.
01:48We appreciate that.
01:50And I'll tell ya, it's viewers like you who keep us on the air, ironically.
01:53It's also sweet that even in the middle of the biggest sex scandal
01:58in the history of the American presidency,
02:00he takes precious time on the toilet to post about our show.
02:04Keep saying we have bad ratings, and you should listen to him,
02:07because if anyone knows about bad ratings, it's that guy.
02:10President Trump's approval rating is tanking.
02:13Plunging to a new low.
02:15A new low even among Republicans.
02:17That's the lowest level of his second term.
02:19That is the lowest it's been in his second term.
02:21It is at a low of the second term.
02:23The lowest of his second term.
02:25La aprobación del presidente Donald Trump
02:27se desploma los niveles más bajos.
02:29Más bajos? What does that mean, Guillermo?
02:31His rating is very low.
02:32Oh, so that's bad?
02:33Yeah. Bajo, bajo, bajo, low.
02:35Yes.
02:36I have honestly lost count now of how many times
02:38the president has demanded I be pulled off the air.
02:40I mean, talk about a snowflake.
02:42This guy, every five weeks, he flips out and wants me fired.
02:45If you got this many threats from a neighbor,
02:48you'd have no problem getting a restraining order.
02:50The judge would be like, yeah, it sounds like the guy's nuts.
02:52Boom.
02:53It's disturbing.
02:55You know, and you've done this before.
02:56You tried to get me fired in September.
02:58It didn't work.
02:59Mr. President, I admire your tenacity.
03:06If you're watching tonight, which I presume you are,
03:09how about this?
03:10I'll go when you go, okay?
03:12Let's...
03:14It would be a team.
03:15Let's ride off into the sunset together like Butch Cassidy and the Suntan Kid.
03:21And until then, if I may borrow a phrase from you, quiet, piggy.
03:26Okay?
03:27We never stopped.
03:30He has his minions at the FCC now launching what they call a review of the relationship
03:37between TV affiliates and the TV networks, no doubt because of what happened the last time
03:42they tried to strangle me.
03:43He's threatening ABC News.
03:45He's been trying to get Seth Meyers fired.
03:47And we learned today from The Guardian that Trump's billionaire buddy Larry Ellison and his
03:51son David Ellison, who are the biggest stockholders in Paramount and are now competing to buy CNN.
03:57The Guardian reported that Larry Ellison had a call with the White House during which they engaged
04:02in dialogue about firing some of the CNN hosts Trump doesn't like, including Breonna Keillor and
04:08Erin Burnett.
04:09He thinks this is some kind of choose your own news anchor situation.
04:13I mean, goodbye, Wolf Blitzer.
04:15Hello, Dog the Bounty Hunter.
04:16That's what the president wants.
04:18He wants every channel to be Newsmax.
04:20And this Newsmax, they are funny, man.
04:22Even the news in North Korea is like, eh, it's too much.
04:26They, this morning, they rallied around Dear Miss Leader, defending him against this
04:31preposterous idea that I would in any way connect him to the Epstein files.
04:36I want to listen to Kimmel's words on this, because what he said was in jest, but it wasn't.
04:42We finally get to find out if the president is linked to this.
04:46There's, there are 50,000 documents.
04:49If there was something with the president, wouldn't we have seen it by now?
04:53Absolutely.
04:55I mean, we had a very contentious election last year.
04:59And most certainly, they would have diverged this information to the American public.
05:06I think we just diverged from the English language.
05:11The word is divulge, FYI.
05:14I think this lady went to the same law school as Kim Kardashian.
05:18Amanda Maki is her name.
05:19She might not be much of a lawyer, but I will say this.
05:22She has quite an eye for interior design.
05:27If you, excuse me, I have to run.
05:28They're shooting up porn here in 20 minutes.
05:32I'm not sure what exactly it was that set Trump off last night.
05:36I make fun of him every night.
05:38Maybe he was upset because he was feeling left out.
05:40You know, he wasn't invited to Dick Cheney's memorial this morning.
05:44All the other dignitaries were, listen, all you need to know about what an explosively unstable
05:50disaster this man is for this country is that Dick Cheney, Dick Cheney voted for not just
05:57a liberal Democrat, a black female liberal Democrat over him, his fellow conservative Republican.
06:06That's it.
06:06You don't need to know anything else to know what a garden hose full of diarrhea this presidency has been.
06:13Trump did finally sign that bill to release the Epstein files.
06:16He signed the bill and posted this giant run-on sentence, taking credit for the fact that the
06:23bill got passed.
06:24It wouldn't have passed without him.
06:25Another legislative triumph.
06:27They even had a little signing ceremony to celebrate the full release.
06:31Okay, let's go.
06:32Could I ask you to say exactly what this is?
06:35Of course.
06:35So as you've consistently identified, sir, the Epstein files must be released.
06:40The American people have the right to know about all the filthy,
06:42dirty things your friends were up to.
06:44To what area is it covered?
06:46Uh, to potentially anywhere below the belt.
06:49This means the penis, the balls, the taint.
06:52I think Yadda Saralta had, um, some things he wanted to give you.
06:57So on behalf of all the federal law enforcement agencies that, uh, that we're working with,
07:02and those that have yet to join the team, we thought it was only appropriate to, uh, present
07:08you with, uh, this commemorative little condom.
07:13You're going to love it.
07:14That's a very great honor.
07:15I'll save that and put it someplace up, which is important.
07:19Thank you very much.
07:20This is a Republican Democrat.
07:24This is, and by the way, most Democrats agree with us.
07:27But this is just, we got to bring our country back.
07:29You know, so now the Justice Department has 30 days to release the files,
07:40which will make for a very Merry Christmas, indeed.
07:43I have a prediction for the next 30 days.
07:45I think we're going to see Trump do some of the craziest yet.
07:49I think he's taking it up to 11 in the next 30 days.
07:52He's already started.
07:53A group of six Democratic lawmakers, all of whom served in the military and or the
07:58intelligence community, are so concerned about the way he's been using our troops,
08:02they made a video reminding members of the armed forces that they are not
08:06legally required to follow illegal orders.
08:10Our laws are clear.
08:11You can refuse illegal orders.
08:14You can refuse illegal orders.
08:16You must refuse illegal orders.
08:18No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.
08:22Don't give up.
08:24Don't give up.
08:24Don't give up.
08:25Don't give up the ship.
08:27And, of course, that did not go over well with Genghis Khan, man.
08:31He wrote,
08:31This is really bad and dangerous to our country.
08:34Their words cannot be allowed to stand.
08:37Seditious behavior from traitors.
08:39Lock them up.
08:41He was so upset he all capsed his pants on this one.
08:44Seditious behavior.
08:46Punishable by death.
08:48Which, you know, is one of the worst punishments there is.
08:51It's even worse than losing your TV show, for instance.
08:54No big deal, though.
08:55Just the President of the United States musing about congresspeople being executed.
09:00Kim Dong-un went so far off the deep end, his spokesniece, Caroline Levitt, had to answer one of
09:06the weirdest questions a White House press secretary has ever been asked.
09:10This morning, President Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of seditious behavior punishable by
09:17death.
09:17Just to be clear, does the President want to execute members of Congress?
09:21No.
09:22Okay.
09:26That's early.
09:27You know what?
09:27He spent all day yesterday with that Saudi prince.
09:29He just got a little murdery.
09:31It happens.
09:32You hang around with the wrong crowd.
09:34And then, sweet little Caroline had Defender boss calling a reporter Piggy on his plane.
09:39What did the President mean when he called a reporter Piggy?
09:43Look, the President is very frank and honest with everyone in this room.
09:47You've all seen it yourself.
09:49You've all experienced it yourselves.
09:51And I think it's one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this President,
09:56because of his frankness.
09:57So I think the President being frank and open and honest to your faces, rather than hiding
10:03behind your backs, is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration.
10:07That's right.
10:08Frankly, his frankness is what makes him so great.
10:11If anything, we should be franking him for calling them pigs.
10:15Sinatra's wife didn't use the word frank that much.
10:19Meanwhile, with the President busy wishing death on his enemies and comparing the media to pork,
10:23the First Lady was in North Carolina rallying the Marines.
10:27Good afternoon, Camp Lejeune.
10:31It has been a memorable day and an honor to meet the men and women of the United States Marine Corps.
10:40Guys, she speaks 25 languages.
10:42Give her a break already.
10:43And in the future, it's a silent pee, like when your husband wets the bed.
10:49I wonder if Melania is going to be at the White House Peace Summit tomorrow,
10:53because that is going to be something.
10:55Trump is opening the doors of the Oval Office to the incoming mayor of New York,
11:00and he's being very gracious about it.
11:02He wrote,
11:03The President's Communist Mayor of New York City Zoran Kwame Mamdani has asked for a meeting.
11:08Now, that is going to be fun.
11:09The ultra-liberal Muslim mayor of New York sitting down with the MAGA gorilla.
11:14I mean, if that isn't a metaphor for everyone's Thanksgiving dinner this year, I don't know what is.
11:19This guy Mamdani is a young, charismatic, very attractive American who was born in a country
11:30whose name the president can't pronounce. If he isn't careful, Trump might make him his next wife.
11:35And one more thing before we forge ahead. It is Thursday night, and that means it's time for a
11:39shout out to our friends at the FCC, who we know are watching so closely. It is time to bleep and blur
11:44the big TV moments of the week. Whether they need it or not, it is this week in Unnecessary Censorship.
11:54It's from Jeffrey Epstein in 2011, and he says,
11:57The d*** that hasn't d*** is Trump.
12:00I was called a traitor by a man that I d*** for five, actually six years for.
12:07And I gave him my d*** for free.
12:10You really did. You d*** us very well, and I even got Bobby Kennedy to eat a big d***.
12:17And he told me he loved it.
12:18President Trump continues to d*** Jimmy Kennel. He did so again last night on Truth Social.
12:23More people can d***. It's bringing the community together for the very first affordable d*** expo at the home of South Park.
12:30Let's go back to the White House. We're standing by to see the president and first lady d*** Saudi crown prince.
12:35Presumably, he's washed the blood off his d***. There's a lot of things I'd like to do to black d***.
12:39There's a lot of things I'd like to say to black d***, and even on cable, I won't do that.
12:43President Trump has said that he'll d*** the d***, so how quickly will he do so?
12:47He hasn't indicated how soon he may d*** that d***, David.
12:51I'd be honest. I'd love to d*** his d***.
12:54Just in talking about prize puzzle, the category is what's it with f***?
12:58Think about that, Aaron. As you spin, good luck.
13:03All right, we've got a very good show for your night. Congressman Eric Swalwell is with us.
13:08We have needed from Lord Huron, and we will be right back with Kerry Washington.
13:12Good night, Aaron. Welcome back.
13:22Tonight, representing the 14th Contestional District of California, Congressman Eric Swalwell is with us.
13:30And then later, from here in Los Angeles, their album is called The Cosmic Selector Volume 1,
13:36music from Lord Huron. Next week, we're working next week, Guillermo. We got new shows with Jim Gaffigan,
13:44Kate Beckinsale, Kristen Bell, and Dak Shepherd will be with us, and we'll have music from The
13:48Neighborhood and De La Soul. Our first guest tonight has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
13:54a costume in the Smithsonian, and a whole state north of Oregon named after her. Her new movie,
14:00Wake Up Dead Man, a Knives Out Mystery, opens in theaters Wednesday and premieres on Netflix
14:05December 12th. Please welcome Kerry Washington.
14:25How are you? Welcome. I'm well.
14:27I, you know what? You're very upbeat, even though I heard you experienced a medical drama.
14:31I had a little bit of a medical drama this week.
14:33Do you mind saying what happened? I had a root canal yesterday.
14:37Oh. I've never had one. Who in here has had one?
14:40It's traumatizing. Yeah, people are not, they don't even,
14:43like, usually people get excited about anything. They're like, yay.
14:46But a root canal is like, what the people describe terrible things as,
14:51is getting a root canal like getting a root canal?
14:53Well, my situation was so bad that they had to put me under.
14:58Is that not typical? I've not had a root canal.
15:00Like, that means the infection is, which is sad to say, but it's really bad.
15:04So they had to knock you out. What'd they use to knock you out?
15:06Completely. I don't know, but it was good.
15:09I was out.
15:10Well, you do have great teeth. You have some of the greatest teeth in the world.
15:13Yeah, you do.
15:13They, they betrayed me. They betrayed me.
15:18But, you know, I had had this pain. So here's the, you know, I'm like a Bronx girl,
15:21right? So I, like, grit. I'm tough. I have grit. I grin and bear it. So I'd had this, like,
15:26mild pain for a couple of weeks. Oh, really? Oh, for that role?
15:29Yeah. And I was like, I can make, because I had all this press for Knives Out. And I,
15:32I was like, I just got to get through it. I'll, I'll go eventually. And then two nights ago,
15:37it took a turn. And I, I, like, I couldn't move. I started crying. My kids were like,
15:41what is wrong? And so I went to the doctor. And, and first they, like, froze my face. And they were
15:45like, okay, we're going to do the root canal. And they touched that tooth. And I, I could still feel it.
15:49So they were like, we got to put you under. Oh, yeah. And it's all good now. You're all right?
15:52I'm great. Okay, good. That's good.
15:56I'll ask you about something you did last month, which I think is interesting. Tell me.
16:00You went and you were principal for a day at a school here in Los Angeles. Yes.
16:04A high school. The Roybal School. So it's the Roybal School for Film and Television Production.
16:09I'm a founding board member of this school. So it's very close to my heart. It is the school where we,
16:14we prepare students to enter the film and television industry by teaching editing and production
16:19design and hair and makeup and costume design. So we prepare kids to go to college or go right
16:24into the industry. It's a really, it's a phenomenal place. It's really exciting.
16:28And so I got to go and be principal for a day. And what does that mean,
16:33being principal for the day? Well, you're in charge.
16:36You are. Yes. I got to have a walkie talkie.
16:39I had these, yeah, I had these little pouches, because you're not supposed to be on your cell phone.
16:42There's no cell phone policy. So if you see a kid on your cell phone, you take it away,
16:45you put it in the pouch. But my plan was to, like, take a selfie first and then put it in the pouch.
16:49Oh. But, like, nobody was on their phone.
16:51So I didn't get to confiscate any phone. You didn't want to get pouched.
16:53No. Were the kids confused by the fact
16:56that Kerry Washington was their principal? Some kids knew. Like, when I got there,
16:59there was a banner that said, like, welcome, principal Washington. But some kids were,
17:03like, because their real principal, principal Cruz, Blanca Cruz, who's amazing. She's a phenomenal
17:07human being. She plays music, like, with a DJ every morning for when the kids come in.
17:12So some kids were like, why is Kerry Washington dancing around in front of the school? Like,
17:16what is happening? But it was really fun. Is it weird for you that the high school
17:19kids still know you? Because, in fact, one of my buddies, Jason, he and his daughter,
17:24Ruby, drove here, like, 90 minutes in the rain because you're on the show.
17:27Because of TikTok. Because of TikTok. Like, Sandal has had a resurgence on TikTok.
17:34She watches the whole thing on Hulu, I think, and Netflix, right?
17:38Yeah. And so that's kind of a strange thing that it's had a resurgence in that way.
17:43It's pretty wild. It's pretty awesome. It's exciting.
17:45Yeah. And you have a lot of food allergies, right?
17:48I do. What are you allergic to?
17:51Oh, God. How much time do you have? I'm... It's really sad. All seafood,
17:55not just shellfish. All seafood, right? That's terrible.
17:58Does that include fish? Yes. Like, even freshwater fish.
18:02Well, hold on a second. Now... Yes, right?
18:05Now, am I wrong or is...? All fish. So, shellfish and fish.
18:10And fish. Yes. Yes. Okay.
18:11And sesame. Sesame seeds, sesame oil. So hummus out.
18:15Okay. Um, all nuts, except for peanuts and almonds.
18:19What? I know. The one you're not allowed to have at school?
18:22Yes. Yes, I can have. I guess you're not allowed to have any of them.
18:24Mango. Mango.
18:26MSG. It's ridiculous. Why are you asking?
18:30Guillermo, bring out the plates.
18:32You want to see me explode?
18:35Eh? I just heard about this, and I think that...
18:38I mean, you must... It must be almost impossible to eat, huh?
18:42Yeah, I don't... I usually, like, at all these fancy galas,
18:44when they give you, like, plates of food, like, at the Met Ball,
18:47I'm eating jerky, like, in a bathroom somewhere.
18:49How do you handle it if you go to another country, like, and they...
18:52Oh, I get cards made in the language. Like, I had these...
18:56I went to Hong Kong this summer, and I had cards made that had, like,
18:59pictures of all the things I'm allergic to, and in the language.
19:02Wow!
19:03Yeah, when I travel places, I have...
19:05That's smart. I can tell you how to say, like,
19:07like, means, like, no fish sauce in Thai.
19:10Like, I can tell you that. Like...
19:11You can't eat... And no fish... Even fish sauce is no good.
19:13Well, it has fish.
19:14Yeah, right.
19:15And you're saying fish is the seafood item.
19:17Yes.
19:19So, on Thanksgiving, uh, you can eat...
19:21Like, you can have turkey, right?
19:22I mean, I eat the turkey, but I... But here's the thing.
19:25I'm able to cook everything. Even if it has the stuff that...
19:29Yes. Even if... So, I...
19:30You know, I might have to open a window and, like, turn on a fan,
19:32but I cook seafood. I cook all the things I'm allergic to.
19:35I cook with tons of sesame oil for the family.
19:38So, yeah.
19:38You do?
19:39I sacrifice.
19:39Oh, so you risk your life on a nightly basis.
19:41I do every day.
19:42I risk my life for those...
19:43You are a hero, not just on the screen.
19:45Yes, that's right.
19:46But in the kitchen, too.
19:47I am.
19:48All right. We're going to take a break,
19:48and we're going to see a clip from your new film.
19:51Kerry Washington is here. Her movie is Wake Up, Dead Man, and Rides Out Mystery. We'll be right back.
20:00Yo, yo.
20:02Hey, Vera.
20:02Hi.
20:03Did you fill this up?
20:04Oh, thank you.
20:04Hi.
20:05Hey.
20:06Okay.
20:08It's nice having him back.
20:11I've given up a lot to be loyal to my dad and to Cy and to Wix.
20:18So, I think that when my dad is looking down on me from heaven, I think he is very pleased with me.
20:32So, I guess that's nice.
20:34That is Kerry Washington's Wake Up, Dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery, which is getting great reviews.
20:41Oh, good.
20:42Now, normally, like, a third movie in the series is almost always terrible.
20:48So, congratulations.
20:48Like, Jaws 3.
20:49No, this is, I love being part of the Knives Out franchise. It's more like a family than a franchise.
20:54Is it?
20:54Is it, though?
20:55It really is. It is. I mean it, for reals.
20:58I mean, but a family, usually the family, one of them doesn't get killed.
21:04What family are you from? My family.
21:06The Knives Are Out, yeah.
21:08I mean, I think it's very, like, only a certain kind of actor wants to do an ensemble movie because
21:13nobody gets to be, like, the star. Everybody has their moments, but it's a very shared creative process.
21:19So, everybody comes with a lot of, like, generosity and joy and a sense of play.
21:24Who else is in the film with you?
21:25Oh, just a bunch of no names, like Josh O'Connor and Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Josh Brolin.
21:33I mean, it's insane.
21:33Heavy on Joshes, for sure.
21:35A lot of Joshes. Daniel Craig is in it.
21:36Daniel Craig is in all of them.
21:38Yes, that's right.
21:38He's amazing.
21:39He's the through line on those.
21:40Yes, Mila Kunis.
21:41Oh, Mila Kunis.
21:42Yeah.
21:43I'm glad you mentioned that about it being a family because I know that when you were on
21:48Scandal, that was really, like, a family film.
21:51Yeah, this is, yeah, I would say this film experience is, like, the closest thing I've had to that.
21:54Like, we have a wild WhatsApp thread just like Scandal.
21:57You guys would watch the show together on Thursday nights at rotating houses.
22:02It was, like, really like a whole thing to the point where I would then question other actors
22:07on other shows about whether they were as close and they never, ever were.
22:11No.
22:12And they seem to resent your cast for it.
22:15Where is this going?
22:16Well, I'll tell you where it's going.
22:17We're going to put you to the test tonight, okay?
22:19What we're going to do is we're going to blindfold you.
22:22Do you mind being blindfolded?
22:24Just say yes.
22:25How bad could it be?
22:27We're on TV.
22:28Okay.
22:28Yeah.
22:29And then what we're going to do is we're going to bring out three men, okay?
22:32Oh, God.
22:32One of those men is a co-star.
22:36Oh, God.
22:36From the show Scandal.
22:38Oh, God.
22:39Okay, which narrows it down to about 15 men in the world, right?
22:43Uh-huh.
22:44Now, blindfolded, I will ask you to feel they're using only your sense of touch and
22:50smell, I guess.
22:51For real?
22:51Smell.
22:52Okay, smell.
22:52You can use whatever.
22:53And will they talk?
22:54They will not talk.
22:55Oh, .
22:56So let's, let's, well, first of all, uh, here's your blindfold, if you don't mind, uh,
23:00put that on, and I will.
23:02What?
23:03Not the creepy music.
23:05Send in number one.
23:07Carrie, you just, yes, stay right there.
23:09Okay.
23:09Stay right here.
23:11I feel very vulnerable.
23:13Oh, okay.
23:14Hold on a second.
23:14What's happening?
23:15Let me lead you around to the face that you will be feeling.
23:18And this person doesn't mind if I feel their face?
23:23Not only that, there was a fight over who got to do this.
23:28I'm so, okay.
23:29Oh.
23:30Okay.
23:30Here we go.
23:31Uh-huh.
23:31Mm-hmm.
23:32Cool.
23:32Really get in there.
23:33That's interesting.
23:34What's happening there?
23:36What's happening?
23:37Oh.
23:39You said I could smell.
23:40Yep.
23:41Take them in.
23:42I don't know if that helps.
23:43All right.
23:44Can I revisit people, too?
23:46What's that?
23:46Like, can I come back and touch again?
23:48Where are you?
23:49No, no.
23:49You cannot come back and touch again.
23:51Okay.
23:51You get one try.
23:52Let's bring in number two, face number two.
23:55And Carrie, I'm over here.
23:56You hear my voice here?
23:57Yes.
23:58You must be really good at pin the tail on the donkey.
24:00Here we go.
24:01Stand right here.
24:02Okay.
24:02And here is your person right here.
24:04Okay.
24:05And there you go.
24:06That's number two.
24:08First one was number one.
24:09Oh.
24:10Mm-hmm.
24:11You should talk.
24:13Whoever this is, laugh.
24:14What if I tickle you?
24:15Will you laugh?
24:16Don't be afraid to really get in those nostrils, too,
24:19if you need to.
24:19Oh!
24:21I almost got to laugh.
24:25Oh, I think I might know.
24:27Also, one of these people has ringworm.
24:29What?
24:32Okay.
24:32Let's bring in number three.
24:34Such a long distance away.
24:36All right.
24:36And Carrie, here is number three.
24:38There you go.
24:39And they're all co-star?
24:40This person's very small.
24:42Well, one of them is...
24:42Hi!
24:44Hi!
24:45One of them is your co-star.
24:47My co-star.
24:49Now.
24:49Is it a romantic co-star?
24:51Mm-hmm.
24:52Don't.
24:52You can't say anything, number three.
24:56All right.
24:57Okay.
24:57You felt everyone's heads.
24:58Okay.
24:58Can I feel the second person one more time?
25:00You may feel this.
25:01Yes.
25:01You may feel the second person one more time.
25:04Go right ahead.
25:05The second person is right here.
25:07Okay.
25:07I have a feeling.
25:08I don't know, but this feels familiar.
25:11You think that's the second person is the person is the co-star?
25:16I think so.
25:16And who do you think the co-star is?
25:18But what if I'm wrong?
25:19Well, if you're wrong, you're wrong.
25:23Is it possible that two out of the three people that I touched are named Guillermo?
25:28It is possible.
25:30Yes.
25:30Yes.
25:32Oh, man.
25:36We're going to do that again when she comes to the studio.
25:39There you go.
25:40We're going to do that again.
25:41Oh!
25:41Oh!
25:42Oh!
25:42Oh!
25:43Oh!
25:43Oh!
25:44Oh!
25:44Oh!
25:45Oh!
25:45Oh!
25:46Oh!
25:46Oh!
25:47I think we better remember a lot.
25:49I was like, she's going to get it when she comes to the studio.
25:51And now that I'm thinking about it, technically, Guillermo was your co-star as well.
25:55Well, see, you had a two out of three chance on this one.
25:58124 episodes together.
26:01Oh, my God!
26:02Let me have a look on that, too.
26:03Guillermo, you guys, everybody.
26:05Yeah!
26:05Wake up, jump down.
26:07And that's what mystery opens next Wednesday in theaters.
26:10And on Netflix, December 12th.
26:12The great Kerry Washington, everyone.
26:14We'll give it up for Eric Swalwell.
26:22Welcome back, Congressman Eric Swalwell.
26:24And Lord Your Honor coming up.
26:26But first, our friend Guillermo hates to lose.
26:28But fortunately, when it comes to Christmas lights, he's got a secret weapon.
26:32We'll definitely get you another meatball sandwich, okay?
26:34Hey, Guillermo!
26:35Hope the shine from all my trophies isn't getting in your eyes.
26:41Lou made me so mad.
26:42He wins at everything.
26:44The chili cook-off, the beekeeping contest, even the exotic pet competition.
26:50But this year will be different.
26:54Lou, I challenge you to an office Christmas light contest.
26:57Great!
26:58I mean, Christmas lights is the only trophy I don't have.
27:01Now, if you'll excuse me, my award-winning stew is ready.
27:06How are we gonna beat him?
27:07He's just so awesome.
27:09With my secret weapon, go be the sparkle Christmas lights.
27:12I got it prepared.
27:13See you.
27:16Come on!
27:26Why do you like this?
27:27And the winner is Guillermo!
27:40Come on, Guillermo!
27:41To get your own Gogi Christmas lights and make your holiday season chump,
27:45visit the experts in holiday lighting at gogi.com.
27:54Hi there.
27:54Welcome back.
27:55Andrew from Lord Huron is on the way.
27:57Our next guest is a popular member of the House.
28:00He's from the 14th District of California.
28:02He does battle daily with the forces of MAGA,
28:05and the president does not like him at all.
28:08Please welcome Congressman Eric Swalwell.
28:11Welcome. Thank you for being here. Oh, man, I got a lot of questions for you.
28:29So...
28:30The president's not gonna like this show.
28:31No, no, he doesn't like it any night, so he's especially not gonna like it tonight.
28:36You on Tuesday were part of a vote.
28:38Yes.
28:38It was almost unanimous. One guy held out for whatever reason.
28:42Uh, the vote was to release the entirety of the Epstein files.
28:47Do you think they will release the entirety of the Epstein files?
28:51No.
28:52You do not?
28:52No.
28:52No. I don't trust this guy for one moment.
28:56In fact, he has acted this entire time like somebody who really has something to hide.
29:02But sometimes, not most of the time, but sometimes enough public sentiment can be built,
29:08and some measure of justice can be brought. And the public sentiment is what drove my Republican
29:13colleagues to do the right thing, not because of anything inside them,
29:16and certainly not because of anything from the president.
29:18See, I see. Except for a couple of Republican colleagues who seem like they were voting with
29:22you all along. And the most unlikely of the
29:25most unlikely, the most puzzling woman of the year, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
29:29Yes. And you know what? I will take her in our coalition if it helps people. Like,
29:34the next discharge petition, by the way, that's what forced this vote, is to lower health insurance
29:39costs, which is crazy that they would want to let that lapse. And if she wants to join our
29:43coalition, you know, I can put the crazy aside and bring her under the tent. And we need to be more
29:48open to people who are willing to do that. But it just shows, like, there is strength in numbers
29:53against this guy, right? Like, he wants to pick you off one by one. And the four of those who stood up
29:58against him, they can go get more friends and show that we are stronger together. But if they just
30:04shrink and they hide and they allow themselves to be picked off, that's when he's stronger. And with the
30:08Epstein vote, we showed that we and justice and those victims are stronger.
30:12And yet, you don't feel like, necessarily, you don't, you're not convinced that we are going
30:19to get to see everything. Is it possible that Trump didn't do anything, that he's not guilty
30:27of anything in these files that we're going to see? So, I was a prosecutor up in Oakland,
30:31and we would tell every jury, whenever you had, like, a defendant who went out of their way to,
30:36like, destroy evidence or conceal evidence or hide evidence, that that's a consciousness of guilt.
30:42And you can use that behavior to imply or infer they did something wrong. I'll just say this,
30:49he's not acting like somebody who has nothing to hide, and we shouldn't take him at his word. But
30:54this, to me, is just a motivating factor for why we have to be in the majority. The majority
31:00matters. It means subpoena power, accountability, power of the purse. And these guys, they think
31:06they're invincible. They think either they're never going to lose an election because they'll
31:10try and rig them and make it harder to vote, or two, that when we get into the majority,
31:15we won't have the balls to hold them accountable. We have to show them they're going to be in the
31:19witness chair. I hope everything they've done, every deal they've struck, every university president
31:24that they've picked off, every entertainment company that they've tried to, you know, work with.
31:28I hope all those deals are clean because it's all coming out. How many people, and maybe you don't
31:35know the answer to this, maybe you do, how many people do you think have seen the contents of those
31:40files? I would say probably fewer than 20. The way these investigations... That many? That many?
31:46But it's also, I mean, that's pretty small, right? And most of these prosecutors will keep an oath,
31:50you know, to the investigation and not release it, even as they see, you know, the president
31:55just lying openly about his own involvement. But when you, like, zoom out, I think it's important
32:01to, like, recognize that, you know, there's an even bigger issue at stake here, right? That he's
32:06trying to bury the Epstein files when people just wanted him to lower costs. And we're in a place now
32:12where if you, you know, go after him, he weaponizes his DOJ to go after you. If you make a joke about him,
32:19he tries to take you off the air. And if you're a governor of a blue state and he doesn't like you,
32:24he goes after your cancer research funding. And Jimmy, I have to tell you, he's going after our
32:29cancer research funding in California. We've got some of the best research universities in the world.
32:34It's a little personal to me. You lost your best friend last week. I lost my best friend two months
32:40ago. My mom passed, and she passed from cancer. And people in California expect that, like,
32:46you're going to invest in cancer research, not cut it. I think a budget is a moral document,
32:51but also an IQ test. And it has to be the dumbest thing in the world, you know, to kill cancer
32:57research when we should be focusing on killing cancer. And it doesn't just hurt people in
33:01California. Obviously, it hurts people that researchers shared and all over.
33:06And they're counting on California to get it right, right? Because the research done here helps
33:10people across the country. You grilled the director of the FBI,
33:14Kash Patel, at length about these files. And forgive me for sticking to these files,
33:20but it's what's going on right now. And I'm very curious about it, because I think after all of this,
33:25we want to know if we're going to learn anything from them. We have a clip of that, I believe.
33:29You said you don't know the number of times Trump's name appears in the files,
33:33so it could at least be a thousand times. Is that right? You can characterize the numbers
33:37however you want it. Can you claim me my time, director? It sounds like if you don't know the
33:41number, it could at least be a thousand times. It's not. It's not. Is it at least 500 times?
33:46No. Is it at least 100 times? No. Then what's the number? I don't know the number,
33:50but it's not that. Turned out it was at least 1600 times. I should have gone higher. I was going in the
33:55wrong direction. So he's seen these files. He knows what the answer is, or at least he has a general idea.
34:02I'm sure he didn't count it up with an abacus or something like that.
34:06And he's got the shovels out, you know, with everyone else there, to try and bury them.
34:09Because, again, this is to the MAGA movement. If you're, like, making a cake, this is a main
34:15ingredient. This is the flour. And they're demanding it. And they ran on this that every
34:21villain in their universe was going to be in the files. And it turns out, like, the guy who's mentioned
34:24the most, you know, is the guy they work for. So I wouldn't count on them one bit. So that's why,
34:29to me, it's support, you know, the survivors. And even Thomas Massey has said that if they
34:35do not come out, he's going to go to the floor and read the names of the clients. But put us in
34:39the majority, and we can cut our time by hell in half and expose every person who should be held
34:45accountable. You are being now personally
34:50investigated by the Justice Department, as are a number of Democrats that Trump doesn't like.
34:56Suddenly, they're looking into mortgage fraud. What's the story with that?
35:00It's, of course, nonsense. Just, like, going after Adam Schiff for mortgage fraud is nonsense.
35:05Going after Tish James is nonsense. Going after Ms. Cook, the Fed governor, is nonsense. And,
35:11you know, shocking. I'll break it to you now, Jimmy. He's probably going to go after someone next week,
35:16and it will also be nonsense. But if he thinks for one second that me,
35:20Schiff, Cook, Tish James are going to hide under the bed, or shrink, or just go quiet, we're not.
35:27We're not. And what the American people are saying right now is they want Donald Trump out of our
35:32homes, out of our streets, out of our lives, and out of this studio. Period.
35:40He wants out of this studio, too. Yes, he does.
35:43What are we going to do? How do you stop this?
35:45Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I love California. It's the greatest country in the world.
35:52Country? Greatest country in the world.
35:55But that's why it pisses me off to see Californians running through the fields
35:59where they work from ICE agents, or troops in our streets.
36:02It's horrifying. It's horrifying.
36:03It's absolutely horrifying. Or cancer research being canceled.
36:07It's awful to look at. And our state, this great state,
36:11needs a fighter and a protector. Someone who will bring prices down,
36:14lift wages up. And we can say that we're the fourth largest economy in the world,
36:19and we are, and I love to brag about that. But what does that mean if you can't afford to live here?
36:25So I've been in these fights as a city council member up in Dublin, my hometown,
36:30as a prosecutor in Oakland, and taking on the most corrupt president ever in the U.S. Congress.
36:35But I'm ready to bring this fight home. So I came here tonight, Jimmy, to tell you
36:39and your audience that I'm running to be the next governor of California.
36:50I'm excited to do it.
36:51Yeah. Thank you.
36:52You know what?
36:53Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
36:57Now, if you want, if I may, you're going to have to figure out the beard if you want to be governor.
37:03You mean like going to the witness protection program?
37:05Well, no, you're either going to have to go more beard or less beard,
37:07because you're in a beard nether region right now that we can't have.
37:10Yeah.
37:11Well, thank God the best hair is term-limited. And so...
37:15Yes. Right. Yes. Yes. So just think about maybe either a shave or go full Dave Letterman.
37:20You know, one of those two things. I think that's the way to go.
37:23Yeah. Full Dave.
37:24I'm like a prospector type. You are from Northern California. Why not shine a light on that?
37:30The origins of our state. Just lean into it.
37:32Well, thank you for being here and announcing this exciting news.
37:35Wouldn't do it anywhere else.
37:36Here on the show. And thanks for your support throughout our ordeal.
37:40Eric Swalwell, everybody. Your congressman from California.
37:44Perhaps our future governor of California. We'll be back with Lord Huron.
37:55Thanks to Kerry Washington and Congressman Eric Swalwell. Apologies to Matt Damon.
38:00Nightline is next, but first is their album, The Cosmic Selector, Volume 1.
38:05Here with the song, Bag of Bones, Lord Huron.
38:10This is how my tale begins. I was outside looking in again.
38:28Nothing like rain washing. So I slept in the cold and left and sick.
38:34Never seen a sky lit pale at night. Should've known I wasn't right.
38:40Wandered out there on my mind. Just a rattlin' bite at home.
38:46But I can see you. You're doing just fine without me.
38:54What did you see?
38:56Yeah.
38:58I've been in the view. You'd never get far without me.
39:02You'd never get far without me.
39:05You'd never get far without me.
39:07How long I will.
39:09I've been in the view.
39:11I guess my tale in the world continued.
39:13It was similar to seeing you.
39:15You use me to got, but it should have been.
39:19You're the only one I trusted.
39:21But you left town and I got blessed.
39:25Let me see you one last time.
39:27Last time you can kiss my word
39:30You says goodbye
39:32Doubt that it's been nice to know
39:35On voyage you best be going
39:38I agree
39:40There's something not right or down
39:44I thought we'd done this with her
39:49Baby
39:52You never get far without me
39:57That is a joke, if you will
40:01This is how my story ends
40:09I'm stoned and broke from the beginning
40:12No life's a nothing's face
40:15I'm just floating on my head's face
40:19Been along the road without the wrong
40:22Living on the future side
40:25I'll be out there on my own
40:28Just a rattle night
40:30I'll be out there on my own
40:34Just a rattle night
40:37I'll be out there on my own
40:40Just a rattle night
40:43People die and planets turn
40:47And empires rise and fall over
40:50Nothing lasts and no one stays
40:53We just smile on me through outer space
40:57Never see the sky so full of stars
41:00Makes me wonder where you are
41:03I'll be out there on my own
41:04I'll be out there on my own
41:05Just a rattle night
41:08I'll be out there on my own
41:12Just a rattle night
41:14I'll be out there on my own
41:18Just a rattle night
41:20Oh, oh, oh, oh.
41:50Oh, oh, oh, oh.
