The east coast, is that what it is . [ laughter ] its freezing in a lot of the country. It is colder than melanias side of the bed on the east coast right now. [ laughter ] there is a winter storm the likes of which have not been seen since the last episode of game of thrones happening right now. Thousands of flights were canceled today. Thousands of homes are without power. All because of a phenomenon called bombogenesis, which happens to be my favorite phil collins cover landband. [ laughter ] must be some misunderstanding, they really kill it. I dont know how weve gone all this time without hearing bombogenesis, i think meteorologists are making words up to see if we notice. Parts of new england are said for colder than materials the planet. Boston is expected to get 18 inches of snow. The schools there were closed today. But football practice wasnt. This is what the new England Patriots for real, had to endure this afternoon. Thats new England Patriots practice today. No days off no days off no days off jimmy no days off . How about one day off . I mean, come on. [ laughter ] theyre not even playing sunday they have a bye week. If they went people would be like thats why they won. Really its like thats why damarius got pneumonia no days off. The worst job to have this time of year is local news reporter. Because unless youre in the studio they stick you in a blizzard to show everybody how cold it is. In new york Tracy Strahan was none too happy about it. A lot of places decided to close up. County courts closed today. A lot of the usual Convenience Stores and restaurants where people would be right now for their morning commute, they are shut down as well. Not a soul to be seen. We do see somebody in front of our favorite coffee store that i wont name. Are you going to open today or what . Weve been waiting since 5 00 in the morning you dont . Well, get somebody that does. He doesnt work there but he says hes going to be on it for us. Jimmy all right, all right, get tracy a cup of coffee and a sandwich. [ cheers and applause ] one of the things that happens in that kind of weather is people go outside with a cup of water and throw the water in the air and watch it freeze. Like this. Oh ho ho, wow jimmy that ones in slow motion. Its fun and its kind of beautiful, really. But we dont get to do that here ever because it isnt freezing. It was 72 degrees here in l. A. Today. And i was starting to feel kind of cheated. So this afternoon i sent my cousin sal out to the front of our building to throw some cups of water. Wouldnt you know it while he was throwing the water, members of our staff happened, just happened to be walking out the door. Sal come on, freeze come on freeze, water its not freezing i know its upsetting to me and, freeze [ bleep ]. Sal im sorry. What the [ bleep ] . Sorry, i didnt mean to cuss. Sal its not freezing. This water sucks. And, freeze oh, its not freezing. Oh sorry, garrick. Sorry, stop, this is your bank thats not how its supposed to play. Jimmy well done sal, and sarah too. [ cheers and applause ] we have a topnotch show. The great lake of kobe bryant is here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and boos ] jimmy like most of the lakers kobe isnt playing this season. [ laughter ] but both his jersey numbers retired. 8 and 24. Which is also the lakers record right now. [ laughter ] also tonight, Khloe Kardashian is here. [ cheers and applause ] she is the third installment in the kardashian trilogy. Music from prophets of rage. Cannot match that of donald trump right now. Thanks to i dont know if you know about this new book. Its called fire and fury. It is highlighted by serious accusations made by his former Senior Adviser steve bannon. In the book bannon says trumps son don jr. Was treasonous and unpatriotic, he implies trumps soninlaw jared is a money launderer, and says his daughter ivanka is dumb as a brick. Which of course displeased the president. So yesterday he fired back and then his lawyers sent bannon a cease and desist letter. Bannon tried to do some damage control on his radio show. He called the president a great man. Heres how that went over this morning. Thank you all very much. Thank you. [ shouted questions from reportersreport reporters ] thank you very much. I dont know he called me a great man last night, he obviously changed his tune pretty quick. Thank you all very much. Thank you. I dont talk to him. I dont talk to him. Thats just a misnomer. Thank you. Jimmy look at that face. He is like an orangutan sucking on a lemon. [ laughter ] but this is quite a battle bannon versus trump. Its bringing back some of the ghosts of trumps mispast. None other than Anthony Scaramucci has been making the rounds to try unsuccessfully to kind of draw a happy face on this whole thing. There are many different factions inside the republican party. Some of us have different philosophical views, different personal views towards each other. But lets subordinate all that nonsen the ck it off. Anthony, you said six months ago that you think steve bannon tries to suck his own penis. Now youre saying he should get on board get on the team . So lets talk about that. Because you want to bring that up. Its nbc, my Favorite Network jimmy well dont take it personally, she asks every guest that question. [ laughter ] hes the gift that keeps mooching. Trumps lawyers also sent a cease and desist to the author and publisher of the book. The letter that accuses Michael Wolff of defamation by libel, defamation by libel per se false light invasion of privacy, tore toretious interference breach of contract, which are legal terms for wah, wah, stop saying mean things about me. Trump was angry alevel stars didnt come to his inauguration. He repeats the same stories over and over sometime in the span of ten minutes. He had three tv screens installed in his bedroom so he could sit there and eat cheeseburgers in bed and watch tv. It says jarred and ivanka made a deal she would run for president after his father. Almost everyone trump hired called him stupid. Rex tillerson called him a moron moron. H. R. Mcmaster called him a hopeless idiot. This was posted by katy tour from nbc. This is from the book. Trump liked to say one of the things that made life living was getting your friends wives into pursuing a friends wife hed try to persuade the wife her husband was not what he thought ask the secretary to ask the friend in his once the friend would arrive he would engage in what was for him more or less constant sexual do you like having sex with your wife . How often . You must have a better f than your wife, tell me about it i have girls coming in from l. A. At 3 00. All the while trump would have his friends wife on the speakerphone listening in to this, like fifty shades of orange or something. These are his friends. No wonder his only friends fox and friends. Who does that to their friends . The white house is saying none of this is true its a fabrication by a tabloid writer. Heres the thing, they let this writer Michael Wolff, into the white house, he was there all the time. He claims he conducted over 200 interviews. One of the last things he wrote, Rupert Murdoch ripped to shreds. Why did these idiots let him in the white house in the first place . That alone indicates poor decisionmaking. The publisher is movin the publication date up to tomorrow because of the cease and detest. If you dont want people to read a book about you, why would you take legal action to try to stop people from reading the book about you . I wasnt going to buy the book i was just going to read the excerpts in magazines and move on. But now that trumps lawyers are going allout to try to stop it from being published, buying 20 copies. [ laughter ] i cant buy enough of the books. Lause ] ill buy for my parents, my inlaws, my cousins. Im going to walk up block stuffing books into my neighbors mail br w threatenin legal action is literally the dumbest move you can make if you want to keep on it the downlow. The book went from 48,000 on amazon straight to number one. [ laughter ] which is crazy. Unless, stay with me on unlesstrump really is the great businessman he says hes and hes getting a cut of the book. Maybe hes the ghost. Maybe he helped write fire and fury. Or more likely hes just dumb and everyone around him is dumb. [ laughter ] this book claims trump is losing lawmakers brought a psychiatrist in to discuss his mental capacity. They say he cant even recognize old friends. I have to say i have noticed that trump does sometimes have troubl fri wheres harry . Harry wheres richard . Wheres kip . Wheres brock . Theres nick . Wheres ben . Wheres chris . Wheres jack . Wheres mike . Wheres ray . Wheres pat . Wheres dan . Wheres mickey . Wheres chris . Wheres matt . Wheres lou . Wheres susie . Wheres jessica . Wheres steve . Wheres aaron . Wheres john . Wheres billy . Vice president [ cheers and applause ] jimmy heres another coincidence i findg. Cookie season. Every year three days after we resolve to lose weight girl scout cookie season comes. Stay with me on this. Orney general Jeff Sessions today has rescinded something called the cole memo policy from the Obama Administration that discouraged pro charges against the sale of marijuana in states where the stale of marijuana is legal. The states make it legal, the fbi leaves them Jeff Sessions is getting that now. So the feds will be prosecuting in states where marijuana is ne can figure out hes on this is like locking someone up for baseball games without the consent of major league baseball. Its very but something about it seemed fishy and i want to conne dots for you to tell you whats really going on here. Okay . R here. All right. Now up on the wall. Fact. Jeff sessions the attorney general, wants to jail marijuana users. What do people get when theyjuana . The munchies. What isyou have the cookies. Now, who makes the best cookies . The girl scouts. And when does girl sco january. Which based on my research is the same month were in right now. So Jeff Sessions wants to stop people from in january. Which would result in fewer people eating thi mints, tagalongs, dosidos which hurts profits and who from hurting the girl scouts . Omld jes like s ketler. To scout a dirty little keebler elf nd jeng, ifhoure that and we will smoke you out of that tree if we hao. Eers and applause ] good show tonic from kardashian is here.

For her to be in that environment, not that shell ever remember any of it. But the fact that she got a chance to kind of participate in that is pretty sweet. Jimmy it would be a little bit strange if you looked back on that stuff and she wasnt in it, as a teenager. How about your older da are they impressed were they impressed by all the love and admiration that rained down on you i think so. Theyll never let me know it. Jimmy they dont ac knowledge acknowledge it yeah. Thinking about what im going to say. Jimmy right. I figured at this moment in time is when i have their undivided attention, speaking of my two daughters, 14 and 11. If im at home and talking to them theyre not going to listen to a word i have to say. Now in front of thousands of people they have to pay attention. Jimmy sure. So therefore im going to talk to them about hard work. And they cant just roll their eyes at me right . So i havevidention. So i ssomething. But they could care less. Levine kendrick lamar, theyre like this night is awesome. Jimmy do they love that when celebrityies they admire come up to you and speak to you . God, yeah.

Like now you have to listen to me. Jimmy your idol growing up was magic johnson, a guy you admired greatly. [ cheers and applause ] then you get to know magic as an owner of the team. Magic said, and Shaquille Oneal with whom youve had an up and down relationship said that you are the greatest laker of alltime. Do you agree with that . And what does that mean to you . Well ill never disagree wi [ laughter ] no im kidding. Kidding. I grew up watching m ive had, you know ive learned so much i cant sit her and be like im the greatest laker ever. To me he is. Jimmy youre the greatest laker. To keep it real with you, ive stolen so much from him that my game wouldnt be complete without him. Jimmy i s t your numbers, 8 and24 which i wonder i know inbasketball no single team has ever retired two numbers. But i wonder if its happeneddo you have any idea . I have jimmy i dont think it has. I looked it up and tried to figure it out. It also adds up to magics number, 32, is that a coincidence . Wow. Jimmy well it is based on your is the firstre. Hearing just observation.
