Machines. This was the scene here in ng t. This is where we shoot our show, usually. Weve been on that street almost 18 years. Ive never seen a crowd anywhere near that big. The people of l. A. Have showed up which is encouraging. Do you know how hard it is to get people to walk in l. A. . In l. A. , activism usually means wearing a lapel pin to the Nickelodeon Kids choice awards. These protests are like the president s suits, they just keep getting bigger and bigger. They had a moment of silence at a nascar event this weekend. Which was remarkable. And there are demonstrations all over the world. In bristol, england, they tore down this statue of a slave trader named edward colston. Posed like hes worried someone may notice theres a statue of a slave trader in town. This is what happened to edward this weekend, he got thrown in the river. There were protests in london, paris, australia. And this was very interesting, a message of, im not sure if youd call it, support but this was the message during a meeting of parliament in iran. [ speaking Foreign Language ] [ speaking Foreign Language ] jimmy um, thank you . I guess, its the thought that counts. Hey, you know who was out there yesterday, marching with the protesters in washington . Americas whitest man, utah senator mitt romney. Marched to support black lives matter and to break in his new pair of penny loafers, it was a winwin. And youll never believe this, republicans are mad at him. Many of mitts fellow republicans are angry, furious even, that he marched with a group of evangelical christians who have the audacity to be in favor of equal rights. They let him have it online. There were hundreds, thousands of posts like this one. Mitt romney, your day is coming sooner than you think. You need to hit your knees and beg for mercy and forgiveness from god. Prayer hands emoji. Repent now another. Racist. You should resign your lds Church Membership another. Mitt romney needs to go back to utah and stay there he can practice his immoral ways there he couldnt even run a portapotty really . Youre mad that he marched . This was a peaceful protest. Mitt romney wasnt out smashing windows and stealing boxes of khaki pants. He was marching in support of civil rights. And by the way, who runs a portapotty . No one runs those. Theres no operator. They just sit there for months until a guy with a truck comes to pick them up. But i do think this is an interesting reaction because so many of these people claim theyre fine with peaceful protest, they just dont like looting or violence or disrespect to the flag. But what weve learned, now, without a doubt, when a republican who marches is considered to be a traitor is that a lot of these people just dont agree that black lives matter. You kinda need to ask yourself, if you belong to a party that castigates one of its most prominent members for standing up for civil rights, maybe your party sucks . Hopefully romney will continue to stand up in the senate, where it really counts. And its important to note that mitt romney has always been supportive of the africanamerican community. Going way back. Who let the dogs out jimmy he sings that every weekend at karaokedokey. Romney also got it from our trollerinchief who wrote, tremendous sincerity, what a guy. Hard to believe, with this kind of political talent, his numbers would tank so badly in utah thats right, romney should have done what real men do during protests, run down to the bunker to eat a blizzard from dairy queen. And by the way, speaking of numbers tanking, here are trumps from todays poll. Oh, but thats from the biased, lamestream what . Thats from fox news . Oh, no. The white house is reportedly very concerned about the president s low numbers and some advisers are pushing him to give a unifying speech to the country. They might as well ask him to dunk on shaq. Trump doesnt care about unity. He doesnt even care about tiffany and he is literally boxed in right now. There are now 1. 7 miles of protective fencing around the white house. Just when melania thought she was done with her tunnel. Protestors are taking the opportunity to hang signs on the fence, calling for action. Remember when trump claimed he would run into a school if there was an active shooter . Now hes built a little prison for himself to protect him from posterboard. Not only is joe biden way ahead in the polls right now, over the weekend, he picked up an endorsement from a prominent republican, former secretary of state, general colin powell says hell vote for biden. And his old boss, george w. Bush has also indicated that he does not back trumps reelection bid. No living president s support reelecting donald trump with the possible exception of donald trump. But his campaign has a lot of money and is looking for more. They sent this email to potential supporters. Friend, this email is for patriots only. Youve been identified as one of President Trumps fiercest and most loyal defenders. And according to your donor file, youd make an excellent addition to the trump army. When you become a member of the trump army today, well give you access to our neverbeforeseen limited edition camo keep America Great hat. The president wants you and every other member of the trump army blah, blah, blah, blah when it comes to fighting off the liberal mob. Do not pass this information on to anyone. Whos the target for this . Its a pretty small group, people who are dumb enough to fall for it, but smart enough to know how to read. And they have a new website too, armyfortrump. Com. Where they encourage you to fight with President Trump. I feel like weve been fighting with President Trump for 3 ½ years. And while the idea of a trump army might sound ridiculous, their recruitment ad is hard to resist. In the trump army, we do more tweeting before 5 00 a. M. Than most people do all day. Youll get in top shape while serving under seasoned military leaders, colonels, captains and majors. Youve fight insantacide and the war on christmas and battle greatest enemies like windmills, strong gusts of wind and bette midler. So if youre white, poorly educated and deeply insecure about your masculinity may violate the u. S. Constitution. Void where prohibited. Bone spurs approved. Jimmy we are going to take a break.

And now, we are proud to welcome you back. Jimmy welcome back to Jimmy Kimmel Live from my house. Tomorrow night, we will check in with josh gad and on wednesday, pete davidson. My first guest is an actor, producer, Yoga Instructor and former pope with a series on hulu called Little Fires Everywhere and a movie on netflix american son. She is at home just like the rest of us. Say hello to kerry washington. Hi kerry. Hi jimmy, that was quite the intro. Jimmy i didnt realize you were such a talented artist, looking at wall, seeing the starfish. Are you so proud of me . Jimmy i give you a and a star. This is my joy, kids artwork makes everybody smile. Wanted to share a little bit of my kids talent with you. Jimmy we were part of the virtual online graduation ceremony, a big video, a bunch of people spoke. Big party, yeah. Jimmy i dont know about you, but i taped mine like a month ago. Weird, wasnt it crazy . Jimmy my advice was dont show up late with coffee in your hands, doesnt seem as important anymore. What was yours . I was freaked out, i had written it before all the protests. Jimmy right. And incredible moment were in in defense of black lives. I had written a speech still apropos, dont try to go back to normal, create your new normal. Then a week ago president obama put a post up about all the protests, saying those words. Oh, now everyones going to think i stole the president s twitter and turned it into a commencement address. That sucks. But i guess on a lot of levels whether were dealing with pandemic of racism or pandemic of covid, were in moment of a new normal, we cant go backwards, we have to figure out how to take better care of each other going forward. Jimmy are you surprised by how many people have participated in the protests . March in hollywood yesterday had 20,000 people. Does that surprise you . It doesnt surprise me, it fills me with so much hope and encouragement. I feel like we as a nation and as a world were done with having our government work in a way that doesnt affect our values. I think people thought you could be a passenger in train of democracy but thats not how it works. Democracy works if we all show up, express our values voting or in the streets protesting. Thats what democracy looks like. Its like were living up to who we were supposed to be all along. Jimmy your kids are about the same age as my younger kids. What are you telling them . Are they aware of whats going on . Do you explain any of this to them . Yeah, theres a lot of posts about privilege looks like discovering that racism exists as opposed to knowing that it exists. I think for a lot of black families, we dont have the privilege of ignoring whats going on and pretending its not happening. But the thing ive been thinking about a lot honestly with my kids and with my friends kids, a lot about education, and a lot about talking about race and introducing ideas of race and really thinking about the idea that for a lot of kids, kids are introduced to race at black History Month or in the context of change makers like Martin Luther king jr. And rosa parks. I think its really important we start to introduce the idea of race with a black history that begins before teaching kids about what black people were told they couldnt do, right . Masai warriors and kingdoms of ghana and queen nefertiti and pyramids. Alicia keys talks about this a little bit in her new memoir. Teaching kids that black history and black people were a lot of things before segregation and jim crow and the civil rights movement, so we understand the beautiful complexity and elegance and richness of black history before refusing to be put in the back of the bus. Jimmy when you were on our show i think in november, in studio, you were promoting your netflix play that you turned into a movie, american son which now has a second wave of interest because of the subject matter. Yeah. I play a mom named kendra the whole play and now movie takes place 1 1 2 hours in real time in lobby of police precinct, a black mom and white dad looking for their son, he hasnt come home. Every parents Worst Nightmare wondering where your teenaged kid is with the added layer, with the added complexity of being a black parent, not just up against knuckleheaded adolescent behavior but systems of racist institutions that put your kids life at risk. So the film is really so close to my heart. And because theres been a huge resurgence of people watching it and saying now i get it, or i have a lot more questions, were going to do a live tweet, you know i love a live tweet, jimmy. Jimmy yes. Were doing a live tweet this week and afterward Instagram Live with kimberle crenshaw, so she started the africanamerican policy forum. Theyre the people who invented the say her name campaign. Campaign to focus on the families and loved ones of women killed by police officers. So kimberle and i are going to do a discussion about american son, talk about how people can be part of the solution, raise money for aapf and say her name and educate people not just on the characters like my son in the film who is up against so much, but also a lot of the women that havent been mentioned. Sandra blands, Breonna Taylors, getting people to focus on the ways this injustice impacts families across the board, male, female. Jimmy youre saying that twitter can be used for positive reasons . Interesting. Were going to take a break. Kerry washington with with us, well be right back.

Youre probably in yours right now. Kerry has a show called Little Fires Everywhere on hulu, with reese witherspoon, not Big Little Lies with reese despite the little in the title. Lots of little, many little. This is Little Fires Everywhere. Jimmy a group of friends in the 90s correct . Its a show about two very different women played by myself and reese. Theyre really different mothers, really different professionals, and they kind of would normally not ever cross paths, but they get thrust into each others lives because of their kids. And its kind of how that explodes their families and their understandings of each other. Its interesting, the 90s were a time when we all talked about how important not we all but a lot of people thought the focus or goal was to be color blind, as opposed to being color brave. Its one of the things we explore in the show is having the courage to be in the reality and talk about privilege and race. But the shows also just about being a mother and being a daughter, and being an artist. Its about family secrets. Its a big mystery, its a lot. Jimmy speaking of family, you did a show, wonder if youre planning to do more of these, with your dad on instagram. A dad jokes show. Yes. Jimmy whose idea was that . His or yours . My dads a star. I directed last nights episode of insecure, and he was featured background actor in that as well. Jimmy i saw pictures on your twitter or instagram, one of those two of your dad. He can always find humor in a situation and find the laugh. Often through corny dad jokes. So we like to showcase my dads humor. Jimmy what makes a great dad joke . Can you quantify that . Yeah, i would say a great dad joke is one that you dont want to like because its so corny, but you have to laugh at. One that just despite your better judgment you just have to laugh. Jimmy irresistible. Much like my father. Jimmy each night ive been making a donation to a charity of our guests choosing. You choose the africanamerican policy forum, aapf. Org. Tell us about it. For some reason a lot of women who have been victims of police killings, those names have not been celebrated and honored, and aapf works to make sure thats not the case. Sayhername campaign is really about fighting black womens invisibility so women like Breonna Taylor get justice. Those officers Breonna Taylor was an emt in louisville, working on the front lines of covid, one of our heroes. Who could imagine what took her life was not this devastating virus but a debacle of a police raid. Its just it is unfathomable that these officers are not in custody. So really saying her name, saying sandra bland, korryn gaines, just remembering that black women are victims of Police Brutality as well. So were going to be talking about it. Im so happy youre supporting that important organization. Thank you kerry, always like talking to you, thanks for everything youre doing. Thank you. Jimmy kerry washington, well be right back. We stick together, for worse or for better yeah through any kind of weather, yo youre my friend in need. come on, come on we stick together, we make the sunshine brighter, we make it all feel better, youre my, youre my, woo, yeah youre my family. yo youre my family. Good mormore treatment . Were going to try Something Different today. Hi awwww, so pretty. Dogs bring out the good in us. Pedigree® brings out the good in them. Its interesting what happens when you treat every little piece of a thing. Like its not just one thing. But everything. Because when each part does everything better than ever. Imagine what you can do with the sum of those parts. The new dell xps 10th gen intel bong jimmy that is all the time we have for the show. Thanks to kerry washington, apologies to matt damon. Josh gad will join me tomorrow. Nightline is next. And hey, you know what . Throw an extra banana in your oatmeal tomorrow. Go crazy, live a little. Good night on this day, we mark juneteenth, a day marking black peoples emancipation from slavery in the u. S. , a reminder that twhaerheres still a lot t in our country, and a look at our past, including the legacy of lynching. You could kill a person, a black person, with impugnity, and no one would care, and no one would be brought to justice. How the pain and anguish of one family moved america to take action. We have to fight to try and change the world, and this is what emmetts mother wanted to do. Plus the spirit in the struggle. The role of faith and prayer in the fight
