00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:04Tonight, Adam Scott and Governor Tim Walz with the Kletos.
00:11And now, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:34Hey, I'm Jimmy. I'm the host of the story.
00:38Very kind, thanks for joining us here in sunny Los Angeles,
00:43where we are, I wouldn't go so far as to say we are celebrating Earth Day,
00:47but we're observing it. It is Earth Day today.
00:49At this point, with all we've done to this planet,
00:52humans celebrating Earth Day is like Kanye celebrating Hanukkah.
00:55It doesn't matter at all.
00:57Republicans in the House today, they were supposed to have a vote
01:00on a bill that would narrow protections for endangered species.
01:04On Earth Day, they were doing this.
01:06Fortunately, the vote was postponed.
01:09We will kill the turtles on the flag day instead.
01:11But this planet is home to at least 8 million different species.
01:16Did you know that, Guillermo?
01:17No, I did not.
01:18And some scientists believe the true number could be more than a trillion.
01:21There is so much to learn about our animal friends.
01:24And in studying them, we learn a lot about ourselves.
01:26For instance, researchers from Australia and Sweden
01:29are doing a study about drug pollution in the water.
01:32And they found that salmon that are exposed to cocaine
01:35swim nearly twice as far as those that do not have a cope problem.
01:42The study found that the cocaine salmon swim around 20% faster,
01:46and also, they never shut up.
01:53Well, I want to know more about these researchers,
01:56because let's see what happens if we give salmon cocaine
01:59is one of the cocaine-iest thoughts I've ever heard.
02:02We are living in a golden age of wild animals
02:05being exposed to illicit substances,
02:07which is a nice segue into the case of Kash Patel,
02:11our future former director of the FBI,
02:14who's getting hammered this week over a report that says
02:17he's been getting hammered on the job.
02:19Patel on Monday filed a lawsuit against The Atlantic
02:22for a story they published that alleged, among other things,
02:26that the director's, quote,
02:27episodes of excessive drinking have alarmed his colleagues
02:31and is a recurring source of concern across the government.
02:34Patel denies this, and not just categorically, maniacally.
02:38He announced that he is suing The Atlantic for $250 million.
02:43The Atlantic issued a statement responding to that.
02:45They said, we stand by our reporting on Kash Patel,
02:48and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic
02:51and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit.
02:54Patel claims the allegations are completely false, a hit piece,
02:58but the journalist who wrote the story,
02:59her name is Sarah Fitzpatrick,
03:01says she spoke to more than two dozen people,
03:03including current and former FBI officials.
03:06Her version of the story makes it sound like Patel was blacked out
03:09more than the president's name in the Trump-Epstein files.
03:13And this comes the same week
03:18that a federal judge dismissed the defamation lawsuit
03:21Patel filed against a former FBI agent
03:24who said he has been, quote,
03:25visible at nightclubs far more than he has been
03:28on the seventh floor of the Hoover building where they work.
03:31One of the allegations in the story
03:32is that Patel's been so worried about losing his job
03:37around two weeks ago,
03:38he had some trouble logging into his computer
03:41and freaked out because he assumed he'd been fired,
03:44and they locked him out.
03:45The article said he called at least nine people
03:47to tell him he had been let go,
03:49then turned out it was an IT issue,
03:51and he got back in.
03:54So Patel angrily denied that story,
03:57and he proved that the old adage,
03:59the best way to address rumors of erratic behavior
04:02is to hold an even more erratic press conference.
04:05Did you communicate with anyone
04:07that you thought you were fired
04:08after you were unable to log in?
04:10The problem with you and your report...
04:12Don't cut me off.
04:13You asked a question.
04:14Straightforward question.
04:14The problem with you and your baseless reporting
04:16is that is an absolute lie.
04:18Simple, straightforward question.
04:19Did you talk to anybody about whether you thought you were fired?
04:21The simple answer to your question is,
04:24you are lying.
04:25I was never locked out of my systems.
04:27Anybody who says...
04:29Your lawsuit says the opposite.
04:30Your lawsuit...
04:30Anyone that says the opposite is lying.
04:33The lawsuit that you filed says that.
04:35Man, stop.
04:36You're being extraordinarily rude.
04:40You know they don't like that in that administration.
04:43Now, keep in mind,
04:44the guy asking the question,
04:45that wasn't the reporter who wrote the Atlantic story.
04:47It was another reporter just asking if the story was true.
04:51And also, there is a specific account of Patel
04:55not being able to access his computer
04:57in the lawsuit he filed against the Atlantic.
05:00His own lawyers put it in there.
05:02So that did happen,
05:04but you can't ask about that
05:06because it's extraordinarily rude.
05:09Can you say definitively
05:10that you have not been intoxicated or absent
05:13during your tenure as FBI director?
05:16I can say unequivocally
05:17that I never listen to the fake news mafia.
05:20And as when they get louder,
05:22it just means I'm doing my job.
05:26So, no, then, is the answer?
05:28No.
05:29He's so wound up.
05:30He's so angry.
05:31If only there were some kind of
05:33bottle of, like, a magic liquid
05:35he could...
05:36that could...
05:37he could drink,
05:38and it would calm his nerves in some way.
05:40Give him a little buzz or something.
05:42And then...
05:46And then we have our Secretary of Health,
05:48RFK Jr.,
05:49who famously puts everything
05:51but alcohol in his body.
05:53Kennedy testified before
05:55two Senate committees today.
05:56He had a grilling from Republicans
05:58and Democrats,
05:59including Senator Elizabeth Warren,
06:00who cut him like a raccoon penis.
06:04He claims that Trump Rx
06:07has reduced prices
06:08by as much as 600%.
06:12600%,
06:13which I think means
06:14companies should be paying you
06:16to take their drugs.
06:18President Trump has a different way
06:19of calculating.
06:20If...
06:21There's two ways
06:22of calculating percentage.
06:23If you have a $600 drug
06:25and you reduce it to 10,
06:26that's a 600% reduction.
06:29You have to understand,
06:30President Trump has a different way
06:32of calculating from the rest of...
06:34Who are you going to believe?
06:35Him or math?
06:37Have you ever bankrupted a casino?
06:39I don't think so.
06:42Now,
06:43the actual math is 98%,
06:45not 600%,
06:47but let's not get caught up
06:48in semantics.
06:49Let's just be quiet
06:50and listen to Robert Kennedy breathe.
06:52Among the many
06:53that you've described
06:55in your testimony,
06:57in that context,
06:59in your testimony,
07:00you identified nutrition
07:02as a bedrock of health
07:03and one of the primary levers
07:05for treating and preventing
07:06chronic disease.
07:09Education is an incredible start.
07:13I don't think it was very long ago
07:14that there was probably
07:15very little nutrition taught
07:17in medical school.
07:18And now,
07:19we are encouraging that
07:21to be a focal point.
07:26You understand,
07:27our Secretary of Health
07:29is dying before our eyes.
07:32And no one is doing
07:33anything about it.
07:35We are on day nine now
07:37of Trump's blockade
07:38of the blockade
07:39at the Strait of Hormuz.
07:41Every day this goes on,
07:42the prices go up,
07:43and not just on oil and gas.
07:45Carex,
07:46the world's largest manufacturer
07:48of condoms
07:49may have to raise
07:50their prices
07:51by 20% to 30%
07:53because of supply chain issues
07:54caused by the war.
07:56The price of condoms
07:57will affect
07:58the Strait of Hormuz
08:00and the Gays of Hormuz,
08:02too.
08:02Equally.
08:04Carex said,
08:07there are vessels
08:09filled with condoms
08:10that cannot get
08:11to their destinations
08:12where they are
08:14desperately needed,
08:15specifically Nick Cannon's house.
08:16So, but is there
08:19any metaphor
08:21more fitting
08:22than Donald Trump
08:22screwing us
08:23without condoms
08:25because he won't pull out?
08:27I mean,
08:30yesterday,
08:31Trump added an extension
08:33to the ceasefire,
08:34and then today said
08:35there's no time frame
08:36on a deal with Iran,
08:37which is interesting
08:38because from day one,
08:39some guy has been telling us
08:42over and over
08:43that it's over.
08:44We have,
08:45right from the beginning,
08:46we projected
08:47four to five weeks.
08:48I think you'll see
08:49it's going to be
08:49a short-term excursion.
08:51We're going to have
08:51a much safer world
08:52as soon as it's finished,
08:53and it's going to be finished
08:54pretty quickly.
08:55Most people say
08:56it's already been won.
08:57You know,
08:57you never like to say
08:58too early you won.
08:59We won.
09:00We won the best.
09:00In the first hour,
09:01it was over.
09:02When are you going to know
09:03when it's over?
09:04When I feel it.
09:05Okay.
09:06I feel it in my bones.
09:07A couple of weeks,
09:08and it won't be much longer.
09:09You know,
09:10I don't like to say this.
09:11We've won this.
09:12This war has been won.
09:13We've already won the war.
09:15Militarily,
09:15we've totally won the war.
09:17I do see a deal
09:17in Iran.
09:19Mr. President.
09:19Could be soon.
09:20I would say that within
09:22two weeks,
09:23maybe two weeks,
09:24maybe three,
09:25we are on track
09:26to complete
09:27all of America's
09:28military objectives
09:29shortly,
09:30very shortly.
09:31It could end
09:32very quickly,
09:32the war.
09:33We win regardless.
09:34We've defeated them
09:35militarily.
09:36Well,
09:36you keep saying was.
09:38Is this war over?
09:39I think it's
09:40close to over,
09:41yeah.
09:41I mean,
09:42I view it as
09:42very close to over.
09:44I think what he's
09:44trying to say is
09:45the war might not
09:49be over,
09:50but he is over
09:51the war.
09:52You know,
09:55speaking of over,
09:57the New York Mets
09:58have the second
09:59highest payroll
09:59in, I think,
10:00the history of baseball,
10:02and they've also now,
10:03as of the time
10:04we are taping this show,
10:05lost 12 games in a row.
10:07It's their longest
10:08losing streak
10:09in more than 40 years.
10:10The last time
10:11the Mets were this bad,
10:12half the team
10:13had jerry curls
10:14and the other half
10:14had mullets.
10:15Okay?
10:16I am a Mets fan,
10:17and stupidly,
10:18once again,
10:19I stupidly had high hopes
10:20for this season,
10:21as did many fans.
10:22Steve Gelbs,
10:23the Mets field reporter,
10:25did his best last night
10:26to reverse the curse,
10:27but I have to say,
10:29sorry, Steve,
10:30I don't care how big
10:31a joint you roll
10:31for those children.
10:34It's not gonna help.
10:35And this is interesting.
10:39Follow along with this,
10:40because on April 9th,
10:41the mayor of New York,
10:42Mom Donnie,
10:43showed up at Citi Field.
10:44He hugged Mr. Met
10:45and Mrs. Met,
10:46and since then,
10:47they've done nothing
10:47but lose,
10:48and many in the right-wing
10:49media are now blaming him.
10:51The New York Mets,
10:52they are on an 11-game
10:54losing streak,
10:56including, oh,
10:57right after the mayor
10:59met and hugged
11:00the team mascot,
11:01Mr. Met.
11:02Socialist Mayor
11:03Zoron Mom Donnie
11:04can't do anything right.
11:06Do you blame Mandani
11:07for the losing streak?
11:09Yes, absolutely.
11:10He's got a lot of New Yorkers
11:12that are really upset.
11:13New Yorkers are calling it
11:14the curse of Mayor Mambino.
11:16We need an exorcism
11:17in sports.
11:18The only way to reverse this,
11:19Sean,
11:20is President Trump
11:20has to come to a Mets game.
11:22That's right.
11:22The only way to stop a loser
11:25is with an even bigger loser.
11:27I looked into this.
11:28I think I might have it
11:30figured out.
11:30This has nothing to do
11:31with the mayor.
11:32Something changed
11:33at Citi Field this season.
11:35Now, for the first time
11:36in Mets history,
11:36they installed partitions
11:38between the urinals.
11:39They used to have a trough.
11:41You just line up.
11:41But now there are dividers,
11:43as if we weren't already
11:45divided enough.
11:46They've added dividers
11:47to the men's room.
11:49We did some research,
11:50and I think I found the source
11:51of why this happened.
11:52Two years ago,
11:53February 1st, 2024,
11:55the Mets posted,
11:56we are proud to celebrate
11:57Black History Month
11:58throughout the month
11:59of February.
11:59And the top comment
12:01under that post
12:02was from a James70889886.
12:06He wrote,
12:06please put walls
12:07between the urinals
12:09in the men's bathrooms
12:10at Citi Field.
12:11This is 2024.
12:13Men feel uncomfortable
12:14and don't pee
12:15next to men urinating.
12:18Fights can happen
12:19when men look at the penis
12:20of other men.
12:22Can you find that
12:23to be true, Guillermo?
12:24I don't think so.
12:26Well, I guess they,
12:28anyway, they listen to James
12:29and they put in
12:29his precious wiener shields
12:31and now we lost
12:3212 games in a row.
12:33So I'm calling on
12:35Mets team owner
12:36Steve Cohen
12:36to tear down
12:38those urinal walls.
12:41And I'm saying they do.
12:42I know it's,
12:43maybe it can't happen
12:44immediately,
12:44but Mets fans,
12:45when you're at the game,
12:46I want you to squeeze
12:47between those dividers,
12:49double up, triple up,
12:50whatever you have to do.
12:52Hopefully the Mets
12:53broke the streak
12:54tonight against the twins.
12:56The Mets hosted Minnesota.
12:57We're hosting
12:58the Minnesota governor
12:59tonight, Tim Walz.
13:01And Tim Walz
13:04is a very regular guy.
13:06But Minnesota,
13:06when it comes to politics,
13:07is a colorful state.
13:09They had Jesse the Body
13:10Ventura as governor,
13:11Al the Body Franken
13:13was their senator,
13:14and now one of their
13:15candidates to succeed
13:16Tim Walz
13:17is our old friend,
13:18the My Pillow Man,
13:19Mike Lindell.
13:20Into our country,
13:22most of them break a law
13:23within the first three months.
13:25Most of them,
13:26we're on TV here, please.
13:27We're on TV, please.
13:28We're on TV, please.
13:30We're on TV, please.
13:31We're on TV, please.
13:33We're on TV, please.
13:34What are you serving him with?
13:35We're on TV, please.
13:36We're on TV, please.
13:37What are you serving him with?
13:39I'm not accepting.
13:40What are you trying to serve him?
13:41May I'm...
13:43We're on TV, please.
13:45Yeah.
13:46We're on TV, please.
13:47Okay.
13:49We're on TV, please.
13:50So somehow,
13:52CPAC,
13:53the Conservative Political
13:53Action Conference,
13:54endorsed Mike Lindell
13:56as their candidate,
13:57who is a,
13:58if you don't know,
13:59a former crack addict,
14:00self-made pillow millionaire,
14:02turned soon-to-be-bankrupt
14:03election denier.
14:04But despite his many legal,
14:07financial,
14:07and perhaps mental issues,
14:09Mike managed to secure
14:10an endorsement,
14:11not just from CPAC,
14:12but also from himself.
14:16Hello there.
14:17It's Mike Lindell.
14:18You know who.
14:19I got thousands of pillows
14:20and a gun under each one.
14:22Next year,
14:23Minnesotans face
14:24the most important election
14:25since the 97 Lake Hiawatha
14:27Wet Sweatshirt Contest.
14:29I voted for Pudgy Peggy.
14:32But in 20-aught-26,
14:34we gotta get a new governor.
14:36And that's why I'm endorsing
14:38a great American
14:39who overcame a whole lot of hardships
14:41and head injuries.
14:43Me, Mike Lindell,
14:45for governor.
14:46Nobody knows Mike Lindell
14:48better than me
14:49because I am him.
14:51I know how he thinks.
14:52I know what makes him tick.
14:54It's a pacemaker
14:55on account of a bungee accident
14:57where Mike's organs
14:58got all mumbo-jumbo.
14:59I even know where Mike
15:01hides his stats
15:02of ivermectin
15:03and hydrocluxic
15:04work-wise
15:05for when the bovine herpes
15:06flares up.
15:08And Mike wants me
15:09to tell you
15:10that for a limited time,
15:11everything in his medicine cabinet
15:13is buy two,
15:14get one free.
15:15Use promo code
15:17hydra...
15:17hydroxyl...
15:18hydroxyl...
15:20hydroxyl...
15:21pills!
15:22Don't just take my word
15:24about me for it.
15:25I got plenty endorsements
15:27like my sleep paralysis demon
15:29and four out of five
15:30of the voices in my head.
15:33Number five tells me
15:34to start fires
15:35at the River Hills Mall.
15:36Watch it burn!
15:37Burn it down!
15:38Like now,
15:39voice on my TV!
15:41And this election,
15:43no crooked voting machines.
15:45You want to vote for me?
15:46You got to snowshoe
15:47to an old bar.
15:49Tell a joke to a goat.
15:51Then drop a pine cone
15:52in the voting bucket.
15:54The way the founding fathers
15:55meant for us to.
15:56So, vote for me!
15:58Glad Neil Eckham.
16:00Who the hell
16:00painted this upside down?
16:03Wrong house again.
16:04Get out!
16:06Who are you?
16:07Paid for by me,
16:09even though I ain't got
16:10no money left.

19:10and I
19:11don't remember when and how convinced Naomi and I to bring she and four of her friends to Coachella
19:20oh really I literally don't she never asked us it just became a thing we were doing and so we
19:28did it we
19:29brought she and her friends to Coachella now for people who don't know this is a big music festival in
19:35the middle of the desert kind of in the middle of nowhere yeah all these famous bands and singers
19:40show up yeah and then um people and I'm sure your daughter and her friends who are not included in
19:45this um they all just take a ton of drugs right and they walk around basically topless yes yeah yes
19:54and
19:55you did not enjoy it I'm getting getting from you well I it's it was terrible okay
20:08I hated it have you do you go to like music festivals you guys I know you love music I
20:16do
20:16but you still hated it that has nothing to do with it I see um no I had gone I'd
20:22gone to Coachella like
20:23a long time ago and it's very I think it's probably exactly the same I just now hate it
20:31um was anything good it was well we were there with the night we went I really wanted to see
20:37the
20:37strokes yeah and yeah and so I you know we went and saw them and that was great but then
20:42that ends
20:44and there's nowhere to go like there's nowhere to lay down and relax while you wait
20:52because then we wanted to see someone else and Justin Bieber was performing so we were going to
20:57stay Justin Bieber is here his spirit yeah his spirit is always there's a beat still Bieber fever
21:08we've never really gotten over it no past COVID but the Bieber fever is still here there's there's
21:13absolutely no vaccine for that I know did you stay for Justin Bieber we did uh which was terrific
21:19and then when that ended it took us it took us an hour just to find Frankie and her friends
21:25we find
21:26them we get them in the cars and then we were in the parking lot for two and a half
21:32hours just and

23:48you
23:49you
24:00That was Adam Scott and Holcomb, his new movie,
24:04which opens in theaters a week from Friday.
24:08That was, did you hang out with that lady?
24:11Yeah.
24:12We're best friends.
24:14What is Holcomb?
24:15Holcomb's like a poppycock, basically, right?
24:18Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a word that means, like, nonsense.
24:22It's actually a, they think the origins are,
24:24it's a mixture between hocus pocus and bunkum,
24:28which is an old-fashioned word for, like, bull .
24:31So it's kind of, you.
24:32It's where we get bunk, maybe.
24:34Probably.
24:34Oh, OK, all right.
24:36So you learn so much.
24:37Yeah, we're learning a lot here tonight.
24:39And this is, you play, like, a writer, a novelist, right?
24:44Yeah, like a Stephen King type, like, suspense horror novelist
24:49who's, I'm, uh, at an Irish hotel where my parents used to go,
24:54and I'm there to spread their ashes.
24:55And I get kind of caught up in, um, in the goings-on there
24:59and the eccentric characters that hang out at this hotel
25:02and get kind of ensnared and, uh, scary,
25:06like, ghosty, witchy things that happen there.
25:09The ghosty, witchy things, yeah.
25:10Yeah, you know, those, those things that happen.
25:12Oh, especially in Ireland, a lot of ghosty and witchy things.
25:15Yeah.
25:15Did you stay in the hotel where you shot the movie?
25:18I didn't stay in that hotel, but I did stay in another very old,
25:20like, manor out in the middle of the, uh, West Cork countryside.
25:25Mm-hmm.
25:25How old?
25:26So beautiful.
25:27Must have been, like, 400 years old.
25:29Oh, really?
25:29OK.
25:29It was really beautiful, the Lissart estate.
25:33Um, but it's, it's gorgeous, and people would come there
25:36either for, like, honeymoons or anniversaries.
25:39There were only, like, 10 rooms there,
25:41and I was in one of them.
25:43So, all these people would be coming there in, like,
25:45the most romantic couple of days of their lives,
25:47and then I was the, like, eccentric bachelor living upstairs.
25:52Um, so people would, I would be in the restaurant
25:55just having my dinner, and people were like,
25:58what, what is the Parks and Rec guy doing here while we're trying to have an intimate moment?
26:04They know you from Parks and Rec more than Severance, or is it?
26:08No, there were Severance.
26:09Yeah, people were, yeah, we were, the Severance was, like, season two was, like, airing then.
26:14So, yeah, people were, yeah.
26:14Oh, it was during the middle of the season.
26:16OK, all right.
26:17Now, are people now, I would imagine, when you do a movie about ghosts,
26:21asking you about your personal beliefs when it comes to ghosts.
26:26What are your beliefs?
26:27About, about ghosts?
26:28Yeah, about ghosts.
26:29Um, I don't, I don't believe in ghosts, but a lot of people do.
26:35I find lots of people believe in ghosts, so it's just a matter of not judging anyone who does.
26:42But I, I don't believe in anything.
26:44And yet it does feel to me like you are judging those people.
26:48What are you talking about?
26:49No matter of not, maybe judging those people aloud.
26:52I feel like you're judging those people.
26:54Oh.
26:55Yes, I am.
26:56OK.
26:56Make no mistake about it.
26:57OK.
26:58Yeah.
26:58Well, are you constantly surprised that, like, grown-up friends of yours believe in ghosts?
27:06Yes, I am.
27:07And I will also admit that sometimes when they tell me their ghost story, I get caught up in it.
27:13Of course.
27:13And then for that, like, for the next hour, I believe in ghosts.
27:16Yeah, that's right.
27:16But then I wake up in the morning and I no longer believe in ghosts.
27:20Like, no, there's no ghosts.
27:20Yeah, and I still find, like, ghost story, like, movies and stuff super scary, but...
27:25Yeah, me too.
27:26Yeah.
27:26Very scary.
27:26Yeah.
27:27I'll never see this.
27:28Too scary for me.
27:30I get too scared.
27:31Right.
27:31Even though I don't believe in ghosts, it scares me.
27:34I don't know why.
27:35But I, and I've shared this before, but I have a very specific reason why I don't believe
27:39in ghosts.
27:39Why is that?
27:39I never believe in the ghosts, but this hit me and I thought, oh, yeah, of course.
27:43Yeah.
27:43Because, you know, the ghosts are always in the house where they died or, you know,
27:46whatever.
27:46Sure.
27:46Okay.
27:47So every hospital should have thousands of ghosts in it.
27:52Yes.
27:52Like, the hospital should be teeming with ghosts.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Lousy with ghosts.
27:57Right into the elevator.
27:58Because there's so many ghosts in there.
27:59But you don't believe in them.
28:01You know what?
28:01Now I believe.
28:04Well, it's very good to see you.
28:05You too, man.
28:05The movie is called Hocum.
28:07It's in theaters a week from Friday.
28:09Adam Scott, everybody, will be back with Governor Tim Walz.
28:25Hey, welcome back.
28:26Governor Tim Walz is still to come.
28:27But first, if you are like me, you are constantly finding half bags of expired tots in the back
28:33of the freezer, but now that's a problem of the past thanks to Rotten Tots, the pre-spoiled tots you
28:40can throw directly into the trash.
28:44Isn't that nice?
28:45No baking.
28:46No eating.
28:47That's the Rotten Tots guarantee.
28:49Hold it right there, Jimmy!
28:56Oh my goodness.
29:01It's star of stage and screen, Keegan-Michael Key, everybody.
29:05Good job, everybody.
29:06Good evening.
29:07What in the name of Moses brings you here tonight?
29:11Jimmy, I am here to save you from inferior tots, my friend.
29:16Oh.
29:16I mean, you have to understand, no imitation can beat the original.
29:19What you need are Orida tater tots.
29:23Okay?
29:23They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside.
29:28They are absolutely delicious.
29:30They are perfectly seasoned.
29:33And, you know, Orida invented the tater tots.
29:37Everyone else is just an imitator.
29:42With an E.
29:44Wow.
29:45That's so interesting, Mr. Keegan-Michael Key.
29:48Thank you for explaining that to me, Jimmy Kimmel.
30:01Guillermo, I know that's you.
30:04Don't be a jimitator.
30:07How do you know?
30:09He's good, Guillermo.
30:10He's really good.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Yeah, he's so good.
30:13Thank you, Keegan.
30:14And thank you, Guillermo, for throwing to commercial while I feast on these Orida tater tots.
30:21And remember, don't be an imitator.
30:24It's too sad.
30:27Orida.
30:28There's only one original.
30:30Anyone else is just an imitator.
30:41That is Frankie Perez sitting here with a flea tone for a couple of the all-nighters.
30:47President Trump has called our next guest a loser,
30:50whacked out, and grossly incompetent,
30:53which are all strong indicators
30:54that he must be doing something right.
30:56From the land of 10,000 lakes,
30:58please welcome Governor Tim Walz.
31:17I have to tell you, you look so much healthier
31:20than you did the last time you were here.
31:21Well, thank you.
31:22The last time you seemed shaken.
31:24I think that's a compliment.
31:25Did I look that bad?
31:26No, because at that time, you'd just been like,
31:29they just fired you out of the chute,
31:31and you were kind of like,
31:31I don't know what's going on, right?
31:33Yeah, I didn't know what was going on.
31:34Yeah, I was hoping you would be the vice president
31:36the next time you came.
31:37Ah, thank you.
31:37Do you regret not wearing eyeliner?
31:39I suggested it.
31:42No.
31:43No?
31:43No.
31:45You know, your state, it seems to me,
31:49and correct me if I have any of this wrong,
31:51it seems to me that your state has been a target
31:54of the Trump administration ever since you ran against them.
31:57Do you believe that that is a coincidence?
31:59No, it's not a coincidence.
32:01And I don't think it's just me.
32:03I think he hates Minnesota because we take care of our people.
32:06We invest in people.
32:07We feed our people.
32:09I think that's what it is.
32:12Did you get any, like, heads up or warning
32:15before they sent that huge ice force into your state?
32:18Not really.
32:19A Thanksgiving night tweet and all that,
32:21and then all of a sudden it was there,
32:22and it just intensified over the winter.
32:26Do you think they wanted to surprise you,
32:28or was that just a general lack of courtesy?
32:30Yeah, I think they wanted to roll this out.
32:32I'm convinced they were going to pick a state.
32:34They wanted one.
32:35I think they thought Chicago, they tried it there,
32:38because they had 500 in Chicago at Metro,
32:41what they call that midway blitz,
32:43and it came to Minneapolis with about 3,500.
32:45No, I think they wanted to roll this out,
32:47and I think they wanted to get a response from people
32:49that created violence so that they could use the Insurrection Act.
32:52I mean, this guy's an authoritarian, and that was his goal.
32:55And, boy, so much credit to the people of your state
32:59for the way that they responded to that.
33:02It really was.
33:03They couldn't have handled it better than they did.
33:08Now, of course, what happened, we all know what happened.
33:12Two Minnesotans were killed by ICE officers.
33:16Are those officers, where do we stand on the investigation?
33:21Well, they whisked them out of Minnesota.
33:23I assume they're working somewhere else,
33:25and there's countless other examples.
33:26They lied about the gentleman who shot in the leg,
33:28and thank God for video.
33:31I used my executive authority to launch here a few weeks ago
33:35a truth commission where we're gathering all of this.
33:37We're going to bring them back and hold them accountable
33:39for what they did.
33:40Do you even know who they are?
33:41No.
33:42That's real nice.
33:44Do you know their names?
33:47Do you even know?
33:47Some of them.
33:48Some of them we do not.
33:49And I think what you saw, you saw the most egregious examples.
33:51There were hundreds of examples of this.
33:53We had 60 of our children gone.
33:56It took weeks.
33:56We didn't know where they were at.
33:58And just countless, from, you know,
33:59little microaggressions to this week,
34:01the Hennepin County attorney charged two of them.
34:04They just pulled somebody over by gunpoint
34:05randomly on the street,
34:07decided they didn't want to do anything and drove away.
34:09Thank goodness, I think that person had a dash cam.
34:11But we don't know yet.
34:12But the good news is, we'll capture all that.
34:14Attorney General Ellison will go after it.
34:16But no cooperation from the federal government whatsoever.
34:20Unbelievable.
34:21Not sharing information.
34:22And that is so unusual for any of these types of situations.
34:25We always share information.
34:27And what a terrible message it sends to the ICE force.
34:32It's almost as if you can do anything you want
34:35and nothing's going to happen.
34:36Well, that's what they were told.
34:37And that's what they were hearing.
34:38And the minute after it happened,
34:41DHS Secretary Noem was, you know,
34:43you saw it with your own eyes,
34:44calling the folks terrorists, saying you could do whatever.
34:46And then they whisk them out of there and nothing happened.
34:48This is a very dangerous situation
34:49where the federal government weaponized,
34:52literally weaponized against citizens
34:55and nothing would happen.
34:56And I said this whole time,
34:57where are the don't tread on me people?
34:59Because we were sure the hell getting tread on in Minnesota.
35:01And, uh, you know, um,
35:07then mixed into all of this is this, um,
35:09this, uh, these multiple cases of benefits fraud
35:13that were happening.
35:14Now, I want to ask you,
35:16did it take an extraordinary long time
35:19for you to know that that was happening?
35:22No.
35:22Is that just something that has been spread?
35:26It happens in other states.
35:27We were going back to,
35:28many of these people were prosecuted in 2021.
35:30He used it as an excuse
35:31because it was a perfect thing to do
35:32to say there was fraud.
35:33Imagine that, you know,
35:34coming from this guy,
35:35he would know fraud where it was at.
35:37Yeah.
35:37So, uh, used it to, uh...
35:39He's like Sigmund fraud.
35:40Yeah.
35:42Demonized, demonized immigrant community,
35:44especially the Somali community.
35:45And I said,
35:46what he was doing was,
35:46is the programs in Minnesota,
35:48look, we are a generous state.
35:49We're also like California,
35:50we're a payer state.
35:51We pay more in than we get back
35:52to support red states
35:53that don't support their people.
35:55But, um,
35:56they came in to try and destroy those programs.
35:58And, uh, you know,
35:59that's, again, rich.
36:00Destroy programs
36:01that don't help them
36:02by billionaires
36:03who commit this fraud.
36:04But, no,
36:04it was an excuse for them to do it.
36:06Um, thank goodness
36:07the people of Minnesota
36:08showed the courage,
36:09stood up and pushed back.
36:10Is the fallout
36:11from that situation, though,
36:13why you decided
36:14that you would not run
36:15for re-election?
36:16No.
36:16And I think, for me,
36:18look, two terms
36:18is probably enough.
36:19I think we get enough
36:20of people making careers
36:21out of this.
36:22Just candidly,
36:23Minnesota had a pretty tough year.
36:25In June of last year,
36:26we finished a legislative session.
36:28We're evenly divided,
36:2967-67 in the House,
36:3035-34 in the Senate.
36:32But the most extraordinary politician
36:34and person I ever worked with
36:35was Melissa Hortman,
36:36who was gunned down
36:37in June of last year.
36:38And she and I were...
36:39We were partners
36:40in doing this work or whatever.
36:42And then the Annunciation shooting,
36:43and I think it just kind of
36:44got to the point.
36:45The fraud stuff on that,
36:46Republicans run it up,
36:47they put money in it.
36:48I just...
36:49It was most important for me
36:50that we hold the seat
36:51with a progressive Democrat,
36:53which we will do now.
36:55And so a lot of things
36:56went into it.
36:57And I got other things
36:58I think I can add.
36:59What will you do now?
37:00What is your plan?
37:01Well, I want to help elect
37:02people who are out there,
37:03good people.
37:03I was 40 and never went
37:04to a political meeting at all,
37:06never did anything.
37:06Minnesota happened to have
37:08the infrastructure to do this.
37:09The late Senator Paul Wellstone
37:10put together something
37:11called Wellstone Action,
37:12and it trained people
37:14how to be candidates,
37:15how to get into this.
37:16And so on Monday,
37:17I launched a PAC,
37:18and I want to go out
37:19and find teachers, nurses,
37:20small business owners.
37:21Because, look,
37:23I know I can go find people
37:25who are better than
37:25the clowns and fools
37:26we have doing this right now
37:28and help them get them in.
37:30Get them in.
37:32You teach school?
37:34You will teach again?
37:36I'm going to go teach again.
37:37Really?
37:37I think that's my skill.
37:39What grade are you
37:39thinking about teaching?
37:40I don't know.
37:40I was a sixth grade teacher
37:42for a while.
37:45I've been dealing
37:46with the Trump administration,
37:47so it's a flat thing in here.
37:51So...
37:53Do you speak...
37:54How often do you speak
37:54to Kamala Harris?
37:57Every month or so.
37:58And when you guys talk,
37:59do you just get on the phone
38:00and go,
38:01Oh, man.
38:03Yes, kind of.
38:04Let's begin each conversation.
38:05I said, last time I was here,
38:06we were very hopeful.
38:07A lot has happened since then.
38:08And so, look, I'm grateful.
38:10She's out there.
38:10She's working it.
38:11And I have this theory
38:12that Donald Trump sucks up
38:14so much oxygen,
38:15we need to fill every single lane
38:16with good people
38:17who want to make sure
38:18people are fed,
38:19that we have health care,
38:20we don't fight stupid wars.
38:21And so...
38:22Yeah.
38:23France, she's out there.
38:24You had, um...
38:26At the No Kings rally,
38:28Bruce Springsteen showed up
38:29in your state
38:30and put on quite a show.
38:32Greatest day of my life.
38:33Was it?
38:33After my marriage,
38:34greatest day of my life.
38:35It was.
38:36Was it, huh?
38:37It was amazing.
38:38It was amazing.
38:38I'm glad he came out there.
38:39And, you know,
38:39he and Tom Morello
38:40were out there.
38:41They went to First Avenue.
38:43We're all missing prints.
38:44It was 10 years ago this week.
38:45And, uh, music speaks to the soul.
38:48We're home of Bob Dylan
38:49and the protest songs.
38:50So we had Joan Baez
38:51and then, of course,
38:51Bruce comes out
38:52and sings Streets of Minneapolis.
38:54And, uh, he said
38:56that was one of the largest
38:57crowd he ever played him from.
38:58He played in front
38:58of the Berlin Wall in 88.
38:59And we had 200,000 people
39:01in Minneapolis
39:01on the streets
39:02protesting back, so...
39:04Wow.
39:05That's something else.
39:05Now, you mentioned Prince.
39:10Since you did mention Prince,
39:11I'm wondering if you...
39:12We always mention Prince.
39:13Yeah, right.
39:14If you believe in ghosts.
39:17Well, I will say this.
39:19Former Governor Ventura,
39:20when I first moved in,
39:21my son was a 6th grader
39:22and we were at an inauguration.
39:23I saw my son over
39:24talking to the governor.
39:25My son came home traumatized
39:26because he said,
39:27Dad, there's a ghost
39:28in the attic of the residence.
39:29And so, I guess I do now.
39:32So...
39:33You, uh,
39:33will you be supporting,
39:34uh, the MyPillow guy,
39:36Mike Lindell,
39:36and his, uh, run?
39:37I will be supporting him
39:39in the Republican primary.
39:40You will?
39:41Okay.
39:41Look, for all of you here,
39:43uh, he's the leading
39:44money winner right now.
39:45He very well could
39:46get the nomination.
39:47Um, yeah.
39:48Minnesota's a land of contrast,
39:49as you might see, so...
39:52Have you ever met Mike?
39:54No.
39:55Well, you haven't.
39:56Well, not personally.
39:56That surprises me.
39:58Have you ordered
39:58one of his pillows
39:59or perhaps slippers?
40:00I have not ordered
40:02its pillows.
40:02Using a promo code,
40:03uh, Liberty, Freedom...
40:05No.
40:05...and Justice for All?
40:06None of those things.
40:07No, I feel like
40:07I should apologize.
40:08You should.
40:09You should.
40:09You've got to support
40:10your state.
40:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:11You're the governor,
40:12for God's sake.
40:12No, he's, uh, he's, uh,
40:14he might legitimately
40:15be their nominee.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Seriously.
40:18He might.
40:18He might.
40:19Well, the rest of them,
40:20I mean, you're running
40:21for governor of Minnesota,
40:22and you're telling people
40:23that you're perfectly fine
40:25with what happened
40:25with the ice,
40:26you know, what happened there.
40:27Uh, pretty much shows you
40:29they'll go about
40:29to any extreme.
40:30Yeah, yeah.
40:31Well, it's great
40:32to have you here,
40:33and it's good to see you,
40:34and I'm glad.
40:36This idea of finding people
40:37who are, uh, not just
40:40qualified to run for office,
40:42but who care to run for office.
40:44Give them the tools.
40:45For the right reasons.
40:46That's right.
40:46There's folks out there.
40:47Look, we'll get through this.
40:49It's going to be a tough one
40:50on this, but, uh,
40:51we're going to get through it.
40:52I feel incredibly optimistic
40:53about that,
40:54and I think you saw it.
40:55Forty below zero,
40:57tens of thousands
40:57of people out there
40:58delivering food
40:59to their neighbors,
41:00blowing whistles
41:00to protect kids
41:01so they can get on the bus.
41:02That tells you
41:03what the heart
41:03of this country is,
41:04and more of us than them.
41:06Governor Tim Walz,
41:07we'll be right back.
41:09Oh, yeah.
41:11What is it good for?
41:13Absolutely nothing.
41:15Say it again.
41:16Wow.
41:18Good God, y'all.
41:20What is it good for?
41:21Absolutely nothing.
41:23Say it again.
