that's when you know you're having a party, right? you know who you are, right? yeah, yeah, yeah. well, you got the fanny packs and the croakies too, that's a good combination. where are you from? brooklyn, new york? there you go, that's right. [ cheers and applause ] that's what we're like. well, welcome to the show. thank you. we have a lot to get to starting with united airlines. what a week for united airlines. [ audience booing ] did they do something wrong? [ laughter ] that video of the doctor being dragged off the plane and then the airline's response to i it has turned into an absolute nightmare from a pr standpoint. even pepsi was like, i wouldn't want to be you guys this week. and not only are they taking a publicity hit, they took an economic hit too. united stock went way down today. the company lost $255 million in market value in one day. [ cheers and applause ] means nothing, really. which means they could have given each of those four passengers they kicked off the plane their own jet planes. they could have given each a 737 and still come out ahead of the deal. unfortunately they didn't. the good news is as a result of all this the ceo of united promised not to drag customers off the planes anymore. [ cheers and applause ] unless they're way overbooked. christmas, if it gets crazy, they might have to pull somebody off. this united fiasco actually overshadow good news for those who fly. the ftc had decided to withdraw a proposal that would have allowed passengers to make phone calls on their cell phones during a flight. thank god. because literally the only good thick about flying is no one could call you and no one around you can make phone calls. it's a no phone zone. [ cheers and applause ] imagine how terrible that would be. if it was up to me i would ban phone calls in all public places. elevators, stores. [ cheers and applause ] people are so loud. they should really be ashamed of themselves. i was at the supermarket in the produce section. this guy had a headset in. he's just walking around as if his wife was shopping with him. she was not there. he was talking to her. he's just loudly having a conversation. what kind of onions? they have -- do you want the red onions? they have red, white, yellow onions. oh, wait, i think that's a lemon, is that a lemon? i don't know if it's an onion or a lemon. i wanted to tear a plastic bag off the roll and put it on his head and suffocate him with it. [ cheers and applause ] what a violent group. here's the thing. if you think anyone wants to hear you talking on the phone? tape yourself talking on the phone. and listen back to it. that's all it will take to learn how horrible you are. meanwhile, president trump has been flying a lot lately, privately, of course. donald trump is on pace to spend more on travel in his first year as president than president obama spent all eight years in office combined. the president's trips to florida every weekend have already cost more than $20 million of taxpayer money. see, this is the guy we need united to drag off the plane. you guys missed the joke, let's try this again. see, this is the guy we need united to drag off the plane! [ cheers and applause ] [ drumroll ] wow, you guys are surly. this is like a violent group, it's like when you go to the zoo and like the monkeys get excited or something. trump has also played 16 rounds of golf in his first 80 days, one round every five days. you turn on the tv, a lot of people complaining donald trump's off playing golf instead of working. i don't understand that. i want him off playing golf instead of working. [ laughter ] i'd like him to join the senior pga tour. not only is the president racking up major travel expenses, we have to pay to fly his wife melania out there every weekend from new york. say what you want about donald trump, he's consistent. no matter what he says, no matter what he does, invariably he's tweeted something that contradicts it. always. everything. he's consistently inconsistent. this is what he wrote about obama playing golf in 2011. the habitual vacationer, barack obama, is now in hawaii. this vacation is costing taxpayers $4 million plus, while there's 20% unemployment. which there wasn't. why didn't barack obama and his family travel separately to martha's vineyard? they love to extravagantly spend the taxpayer's dime will be to be fair the obamas were involved in an unusual situation where they lived together in the same house. [ laughter ] anyway. he tweeted, the president must get congressional approval before attacking syria, big mistake if he does not. and then he attacked syria. without getting approval from congress. there are dozens of these. seems like -- i don't know, seems like the only person not paying attention to donald trump's twitter account is donald trump. he should go through and maybe read some of that stuff every once in a while. meanwhile, his press secretary sean spicer really stepped in it today. during his daily briefing sporty spicer as he is known made an absolutely incredible statement about syrian president assad, that if it wasn't so disturbing, would have been hit-larious. he said, even someone as despicable as hitler didn't sink to using chemical weapons, which of course is very wrong. hitler infamously used zyclon gas to kill millions of innocent people. listen close. if you listen very closely, you can almost hear the voice inside his head. >> we didn't use chemical weapons in world war ii. you know, you had a -- you know, someone as despicable as hitler who didn't even sink to the -- to using chemical weapons. so you have to, if you're -- oh, no, did i just defend hitler? hitler? i think i did. why even do that, why bring up the holocaust? at press secretary school, the one rule is never defend hitler! i think when it comes to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way -- oh my god! of course hitler gassed people! i learned that in high school, we all did. what the hell are you doing, sean, you stupid, stupid, stoop! i just want to go to cabo. all right, guys. see you back in a little bit. i know we're going to have one more. thank you. >> jimmy: oh, hey, well. that's a nice way to kind of make it up. thank you, sporty spicer. [ applause ] sean spicer might be the only press secretary who needs a press secretary. here's another nutty thing that's rooted at the white house. this time the bush white house, jenna bush halger, daughter of george w. bush, filling in for hoda on the "today" show. yesterday she filled us in on a heretofore untold bush family secret. >> my grandma's missing a toe on each foot. she's missing a toe. >> barbara? >> is missing a toe on each foot. >> has she ever divulged that? >> not that i know of. but she has darling feet. and they look cute. >> is it the big one that's missing? >> i think it's the second, i'm sorry, i shouldn't have said it. but it happened with age. and now you're right -- >> with age? she had them before, now she doesn't? >> yeah. >> they disappeared? >> they say if you don't sleep -- >> jimmy: what? if you don't sleep enough your toes go away? sounds like a weird way to convince your kid to take a nap. grandma said if you don't go to sleep our toes will go away! so that was yesterday. and today on "today," jenna was asked to elaborate. >> anyway, she had a regular set of toes. and then as she aged she had a occurrence called hammer toes where she accidentally -- they got a little bit close together. >> scrunched with bad shoes and things like that, a lot of women get them. >> she had two removed. >> not the hammer toe? the actual toes? >> the toes were gone. >> did she get a discount on pedicures? >> i'm sorry. >> this is why you don't drink wine on live television.

[ cheers and applause ] >> hello. >> jimmy: thank you for talking to us. you're dressed the same. was that intentional? >> he copied me. >> jimmy: so first i'd like to ask, how did you wind up on "wheel of fortune" in the fairs place? >> oh my goodness. "wheel of fortune" is our favorite show. we always watch it or else record it. and one day we heard that the wheel mobile was coming. and so me and a friend went to the wheel mobile. and we actually got called up and solved the puzzle. a couple weeks later i got a -- an e-mail saying, come to an audition. and they said, if you are married and a grandparent, you can also bring your spouse. and i was so excited because i didn't want to go alone. so at first he was a little hesitant about going. >> jimmy: why were you hesitant about going on your favorite show? >> she had been telling me for months after month after month, we're going on that show one day, we're going on that show one day. i didn't think it was real. >> jimmy: you get on the show. i assume you're nervous. the letters start popping up. and then out pops the words "popsicle bike." have you ever been on a popsicle bike? [ laughter ] why was that in your head? >> well, i was wondering the same thing. [ laughter ] then i thought about it. pat was on one side, he was on the other, i think i needed to be cooled off. that's the first thing i thought about, popsicle. i couldn't figure out the second word so i said bike. >> jimmy: larry, what was going through your head when your wife said popsicle bike? >> well, if you had a chance to watch whole show you'll see i was mostly the spinner and she was the puzzle solver. >> jimmy: i see. >> i was agreeing to spin the puzzle again afterwards -- spin the wheel. >> jimmy: even though you answered popsicle bike you still won, how much did you win?
