Question. How many of you had cereal for breakfast this morning . Just woke and up had cereal . Wow, not that many. The reason i ask is because i guess according to a new study, americans are not eating anywhere near as much cereal. Everything else were eating a lot more of but not cereal. Since 2009 sales of Breakfast Cereals are down 17 . In the Breakfast World types are tough. The rabbit from trix is now turning them. Part of the reason is because it means they have to wash a bowl. For real, thats real. Dont forget the spoon. Wouldnt you be embarrassed to admit thats why you dont eat cereal . Maybe we should put the cereal in a trough by the door, stick our heads in it as we go out to work like horses or something. I used to love cereal, Checking Account chocula, fruity pebbles. I find this news kind of depressing. Although im not entirely sure why. The cereal was never really breakfast, so much as it was a large box for a small toy. But i do believe in lucky charms would just stick with marshmallows and get rid of those stupid little oat pieces or whatever [ cheers and applause ] to you eat cereal . Guillermo no, oatmeal. Jimmy when you were a kid did you love cereal . Oh, yeah. Jimmy what was your favorite of the cereals . Clet guillermo honey nut cheerios. Jimmy donald trump, donald trump tweeted up a storm today. He lashed out at a number of republicans, the ones who have been distancing themselves from him. He called the speaker of the house paul ryan, whos a republican, a weak and ineffective leader. He called john mccain foulmouthed. He said democrats are more loyal to each other than republicans are. He also tweeted this. He said, it so is nice the shackles have been taken off me and i can now fight for america the way i want to. This is how hes been behaving with shackles on . [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] if those shackles come off hes going to kill somebody. Hes going after he went after everybody. A number of cable news outlets called ate tweet storm. And during this terrible tweet storm irk think we should take a moment to acknowledge Donald Trumps thumbs because those chubby little baby carrots have been working so very hard lately, theyre worn down to the nubs and i applaud them for doing so much work. Trump has been swinging the hammer in person. He was in pennsylvania rehashing the debate. One of his better moments during the debate was when Hillary Clinton claimed to have been speaking about abe lincoln when she was explaining a leaked transcript of a wall street speech, and trump is not one to let Something Like that go. How did Hillary Clinton try to defend the shocking admission . She didnt deny she said this awful thing. Instead, she blamed honest abe inking. Honest abe. What . [ cheers and applause ] jimmy by the way, honest abe inking would be a great name for a tattoo parlor, right . [ laughter ] trump also grabbed a youngster from the audience, a child that looked like him, who unwittingly helped us with tonights kidfriendly edition of drunk donald trump. [ tape playing very slowly ] are you having a good time tonight . Night. Wheres your daddy . And your mommy . Right . Do you want to go back . Do you want to go back to them or do you want to stay with donald trump . Trump. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy so some more backstage donald trump locker room talk was released yesterday in a transcript of unaired footage from the apprentice in 2010. Donald allegedly insulted the skin of a female musician who appeared on the show, he said her skin sucked and she needed serious fing dermatology. One of the nicer things hes said recently. Frustrating as this time has been for donald trump its been even more frustrating for the socalled surrogates they put on cable news to support him every day. These are mostly women who have to go on tv to try and defend these things. I thought this was creative. This is how trump supporter betsy mccoy, former Lieutenant Governor of new york, tried to shift focus from donald to hillary by way of beyonce. Hillary clinton expresses the cheap language on that bus, horrific. But in fact she likes language like this. I came to slay bitch when he f me good i take his ass to red lobster. Did she say that . That happens to be a line from beyonce, a performer whom she says she idolizes and would like to immate. You know what im saying to you . Theres a lot of hypocrisy. Jimmy well. [ laughter ] i think you might be highpocrisy, because that is one of the naughtier things ive heard so far. [ cheers and applause ] i dont know, but has she seen what beyonce will do with a baseball bat . Heres another one. This is the defense of trump Scotty Nell Hughes gave Anderson Cooper last night. Do you agree what he described on that tape is Sexual Assault in the department of justice defines it as us wanted sexual contact or behavior without explicit consent. Yes, if that was the action, but those are just his words. He was just bragging about Sexual Assault . He didnt actually commit unfortunately we have made that to be sort of a part of a culture, a fifty shades of grey culture that men can talk like that. Where have we made it okay to talk like that . 80 million copies of fifty shades of grey was sold. Magic mike was one of the most popular i didnt read the book but i assume that was a consensual relationship. No, it was not all the time, the things that were not were not. You look at the vampire trilogy jimmy you know what, thats what this election is missing. Vampires. [ laughter ] meanwhile, billy bush who was the other half of locker room talk on that access Hollywood Tape is reported to be exiting nbc and the today show. Hes suspended from the show yesterday, now the reports are that hes going to be gone permanently. Which goes to show you nothing good ever happened on a bus. [ laughter ] this donald trump will not rest until every bush is destroyed. He started with jeb [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] next billy. Look out, barbara. You might be next. Meanwhile, wikileaks is leaking again. The last few days theyve released more than 3,000 new emails hacked presumably by russia from staffers on the clinton campaign. Donald trump told his supporters yesterday he loves wikileaks. And he also loves nene leakes. [ laughter ] of course he loves wikileaks, they dont have to release anything crazy on him because he already does that on twitter every day himself. But you have to wonder, russia and wikileaks, helping them to publish these private e miles to interfere with our elections, this is an aggressive act whats going on . James kimmel. Jimmy what . Yes . You have mocked wikileaks for the last time. We unlock governments. We make oceans of knowledge. And now the time has come for the world to see exactly who you are. Jimmy what does that mean . We have your emails, jimmy kimmie yahoo. Com. Jimmy thats a private email we are wikileaks nothing is private much like your email to gary jimmy that was for gary alone dear home down buffet, i have been a Loyal Customer more than 48 hours. When i visited your restaurant in anaheim this weekend i was disappointed to find no toasted bread crumbs on the mac and cheese get it together or im done with you. Angrily, jimmy kimmel. Jimmy i was angry. Gary replied jimmy please dont read garys reply. Dear mr. Kimmel, as i explained to you in person, your behavior last sunday could only be described as vile and unsanitary. When i explained that we were temporarily out of toasted bread crumbs for our macaroni and cheese, you threw ham and gravy at me and at a number of our customers. Again, you are no longer permitted at this or any Hometown Buffet restaurant. You have violated everything Hometown Buffet stands for. Please do not contact me again. Sincerely, gary. Jimmy let me just say, there are a lot of Jimmy Kimmels out there. My dads jimmy kimmel. That could have been him you replied at 3 13 a. M. Jimmy i didnt i did . Do you have any idea who i am . I am jimmy kimmel the famous talk show host. And i will eat at any Hometown Buffet i want. [ cheers and applause ] cross me again, gary, and i will kick you so hard it will hurt. Jimmy thats enough, stop it already. Why are you doing this . I dont understand the secrets of the powerful will be exposed in a horrifying light of truth. We are infinite. We are unstoppable. We are Wikileaks Ryan . Who are you talking to . No one are you on the video games again . Mom jimmy well. [ cheers and applause ] i hope he gets grounded. A very deep voice that boy has. Is it so wrong to suspect excellence from our Hometown Buffet . I dont think so. This is something you will not find on wikileaks but it might help explain all the sniffling in these debates lately. This is from pennsylvania, this is cokedup trump. [ tape playing fast. ] Rudy Giuliani said youre not going to believe this look at this we have all these new charges you see it just came down today wikileaks brutal stuff ill read it to you but trust me its real bad stuff. Jimmy were going to take a break. When comany come back Community Activists go to a nascar event to ask drivers and fans to slow it down. Stick around, well be right back.

Slow and steady wins the race slow and steady is the race im jack, this is my wife becky. Were out here trying to talk to people about effecting social change in nascar. Specifically what we want to do is ask the people of nascar to enact a speed limit for the races. Is that something you guys think would be a good idea for us to do . A speed limit . Yeah. Isnt it all about the speed . Yeah, i mean, its all about speed but there should be a limit to it. What kind of speed limit . Were talking about 25 Miles Per Hour for the races. Yeah, that sounds good. Yeah . No. Why . Are you kidding me . Theyre race cars. So they cant go 225, they can only go 200 . No, 25 miles an hour. You guys are in the wrong place. Wait you would not see over 100,000 people in this parking lot who said anything about the nazis . Not see. You would not see not see, nazi. Can i ask why youre asking that . Should we tell them the story . This is our son landon. We let him unfortunately watch nascar on tv. He stole our keys. Okay. He the Police Report said he drove up to 45, 47 Miles Per Hour. Right, right. Crashed into a radio shack. Thank god nobody was hurt. Its a radio shock, so obviously nobody was in there. If it was an apple store, oh my god. He crashed the car. I dont want to tell you how to be a parent, but youre going to tell us how to be a parent, i bet. If your kids taking a car at 9 years old i agree. And its because of nascar inspiring children youre the parent hide your keys hes 9 years old why should i have to hide my keys . Im sorry but its their fault. Nascar is a sport just like football. Should football be played without pads and football shouldnt be played period. At all. Football should not be played. Ban football . They feel .

So i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. Clearer skin is possible.

It doesnt bother me. I mean, you know. Jimmy you dont live for it . Its not your goal . Its not necessarily my goal, but again, you want a reaction. Because you want people to care about what you have to say. At the same time, you want a reaction, but you dont particularly care what the reaction is. Im one of those guys, theres a lot of people, they really, really care. They want to be liked. My guy Max Kellerman loves to be liked. I dont particularly care. [ laughter ] i actually assume that on most instances im going to be liked. I just take it for granted that people are going to love me, i just do. I just do. I just do. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy i know were speaking about your professional life. Does that apply to your personal goingson as well . I wouldnt go that far. I mean, i do got to work at that. Im the young els of six, i was raised by four wonderful sisters and the greatest mama in the world. But i call them wonderful now. Jimmy i see. Growing up throughout my life jimmy, they were cruel to me. [ laughter ] jimmy they were cruel to you . Cruel to me. Linda. Abigail. Olive. And common. Those are their names. Who was the worst . Who was the worst. When i was younger it was arlen. Arlen would wake me up. New york city, its freezing, its cold in the wintertime, stuff like that. Im raised in hollis, queens. My mother is a registered nurse, 25 years. She would assign all of them to take care of all of us, to wake usup. Arlen was a drill sergeant. She would be it would be 9, 8 degrees. Arlen is walking, pull the covers off of you. Wake up youre freezing. And then she would always tell if you tried to skip school, if you tried to fake sick, she would tell. Jimmy a rat. Yes, she was. [ laughter ] she was. And then as i got a little bit older, my sister abigail, she was wonderful. But she was a little jealous of me. Jimmy she was . Because i got preferential treatment, im the baby boy. Jimmy right. You know. I must admit im 48 years old now. Im still spoiled. Are you really . By mama. Nobody else, by mama. My mothers west indian, from st. Thomas, virgin islands. My mother cooks the beef patties and the coconut for example, ive got 13 kneelses and nephews, four sisters, cousins. My mamas cooking a whole bunch of stuff, there is food set aside for me. She knows. She knows. Because i think its safe to say ive been a little bit successful in my life. [ laughter ] as a result, you know what happens is that now, because i look out and i make sure to take care of mama better than them. [ laughter ] i deserve better treatment than them. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy do they watch your show every day . Did you just ask me do they watch my show . They might as well produce the show. They send texts. Say this say that r. Dont say this, dont be cruel, moms watching. My mother, shes oblivious. Stephen, i dont know how youre doing. Jimmy she calls you . She said, stephen, i did not raise you that way. And i say, okay. You know, because i like to tell the truth and call it like i see it. You know, if im going at ato b wrong sometimes, im going to be right most times. I call it like i seat. My mother will say, a little too cruel. Jimmy when did you first realize, when did it occur to you i you started as a writer that what you wrote had an impact and was getting a response from people . I was a on a basketball scholarship in winstonsalem jimmy i think we have a picture of you. Oh lord. Oh my goodness. Please. [ cheers and applause ] i didnt look bad. I didnt look bad. See, by the way, the hairline was a little receding then, so no one can get on me about that now. Im on a basketball team, on a basketball scholarship. And my coach was struggling a little bit.
