And featuring the legendary roots crew. Questlove 782. Steve and now, here he is, jimmy fallon [ cheers and applause ] jimmy thank you very much welcome to the show. Welcome, everybody, welcome to the tonight show, baby. This is it. This is the one to watch. This is it. Im excited. Well, heres what people are talking about, you guys. What a crazy weekend in washington. First, former National Security adviser Michael Flynn cut a a plea deal with Robert Mueller and then the Senate Passed the gop tax bill. I tried to follow it on the news, but all the anchors have been fired for sexual harassment, so i didnt see anything. [ applause ] steve really . Jimmy i dont know whats going on. Thats right. Michael flynn agreed to a plea deal with Robert Mueller and it came out that the fbi is investigating everyone in the white house all the way to the top. Trump was like, oh my god, theyre investigating putin . Everybody. Everybody. Everybody [ laughter ] [ applause ] thats right, flynn cut a deal and is now working with the investigation. So i guess after helping trump transition into the white house, hes helping transition him out. Yeah, thats very interesting. [ cheers and applause ] he does everything. Oh, and get this, trump might have incriminated himself when he tweeted that he had to fire flynn because he lied to mike pence and the fbi. You could tell trump was scared cause his next tweet was like, jklol. [ laughter and applause ] doesnt fix the problem. Jimmy but after trump posted the tweet, the white house claimed it was actually written by trumps lawyer. Then trump saw how many retweets it got and was like, never mind, i wrote it. [ applause ] yeah, i guess, i retweeted myself. The other big story is that early saturday morning, Senate Republicans passed their tax plan. They said we realize doing this in the dead of night makes us look sneaky, corrupt and dishonest. Anyway, have a great weekend. [ laughter and applause ] but the bills drawn lots of criticism. Experts say it will ruin health care, cause problems for the elderly, and add over 1 trillion to the deficit. Trumps cabinet was like, phew, thank god were going to jail. I mean, could you imagine if we had to live in this world . [ applause ] and Senate Democrats went after republicans for making a bunch of handwritten changes to the tax reform bill just hours before voting on it. You could barely read some of them. This is a real photo. Take a look at this. Yeah. Cant really tell what the writing says. Well, we want some answers. So here now, via satellite, from washington, is one of the people who voted for the bill. Please welcome republican senator cory gardner. Cory. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Jimmy yeah. Now senator, you voted for this bill, but a lot of people have been saying that all these scribbles were impossible to read. Well, to be perfectly frank, its a lot clearer and more straightforward than what people are saying. Jimmy okay. Then can you please tell us what those changes said. Absolutely. One example is article 19, section b, which clearly states that our tax bill will significantly lower taxes for agripolental redudicratic convorpulations. [ laughter ] jimmy im sorry, lower taxes for what . It will lower taxes for all ambularental chromosomatic compulnacations. [ laughter ] jimmy i have no idea what you just said. Well, its very straightforward. [ laughter ] jimmy fine. Can you give me another example . Sure. Article 273, section d, very plainly indicates that any individual may claim a a deduction for interest paid on accumulated combustion muffins. Jimmy accumulated combustion muffins . Choreographed dolphin fluffin. [ laughter ] jimmy dolphin fluffin . Exactly. It allows deductions for computeragitated corgi puzzles. Jimmy repeat what you just said. Gastrointestinal strudel noodles. Jimmy senator gardner, im starting to suspect that you have no clue what the very bill you signed actually says. Of course i do. Jimmy then say it slowly so i can repeat it. Well, this is very childish, but fine. Our bill cuts the tax rate. Jimmy our bill cuts the tax rate. For anyone who. Jimmy for anyone who nerd twerdle cofefe kardashian. Jimmy all right, get out of here. Cory gardner, everybody. Nerd twerdle . Nerd twerdle . Steve what . Nerd twerdle. Jimmy cory gardner, everybody, cory gardner, there he is. [ cheers and applause ] its also its also pretty big. This morning, trump endorsed roy moore with a tweet saying, we need roy moore to win alabama. Turns out trump has been tweeting so much in the morning, its actually inspired a new product. Take a look at this. Do you have trouble waking up in the morning . Need an extra jolt to get out of bed . Then try the all new trump tweets alarm clock, the only alarm clock that wakes you up by reading trumps latest insane tweets, which happen every day at like 6 00 am. [ whistle ] we need roy moore to win in alabama. [ whistle ] the russia investigation is a a witch hunt. [ whistle ] im getting rid of alaska. Its just a big, cold hawaii. The trump tweets alarm clock. Crazy never sleeps. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy for the holiday season. Steve yeah, for the holidays. Jimmy some business news, i read that cvs will buy the Health Care Company aetna for about 69 billion. Its so much money that they have to wait for a manager to come press a button on the selfcheckout machine. You know what im talking about . [ applause ] thats right, cvs is buying aetna for 69 billion. When the cvs chairman got home, his wife said, oh, man, i had a coupon for that. [ applause ] you should have told me you were buying aetna this made me laugh. The Pontiac Silver Dome was set to be demolished in detroit yesterday. It was supposed to be a big explosion.

Jimmy i mean, for everyone in houston, i will just say, if you dont know this, you should, but you raised so much money for houston. You, i think you had the goal of raising 200,000. Yeah, so i started out we were stranded in dallas. Because of the flooding, so i just wanted to start, do whatever i could to help. And i honestly didnt know if we would reach 200,000. I was like, lets see if we can get 200,000. You were unbelievably generous, donating 1 million over your show, so thank you to jimmy. Jimmy absolutely. [ cheers and applause ] and so many i mean, it just took off. And yeah. Jimmy it moved everybody. But how much did you raise . 37 million. Yeah, we raised over 37 million. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy how awesome. Youre just fantastic. Yeah, thank you. I actually jimmy it just shows how great this country is. I actually just had a chance this last week. I was just out i mean ive been on crutches for a while but i was just out visiting some of the sites that were rebuilding. Were going to rebuild hundreds of homes, were gonna rebuild childcare centers. Were gonna distribute a whole bunch of food to all the areas, medical care, and i was just out visiting some of the areas and i mean, its devastating but at the same time, its been so incredible to see the positive spirit that these people have kept throughout such a tough time. Jimmy speaking of [ cheers and applause ] speaking of your injury, how are you feeling, by the way . I feel great. I feel great. I only walk with a cane for two reasons. One, to appease my trainer, and two, to get sympathy from my girlfriend. Jimmy yeah. [ light laughter ] also, its a pretty cool cane. Yeah, i mean they told me i had to have a cane. So i said, well let me have a jimmy look at this thing. I mean good god. Holy moly. I mean i couldnt walk around with like a walker, you know . Jimmy no, yeah, no. Youre j. J. Watt. Yeah, you got to show off. Yeah you got to walk around. That could be just part of your move in life. Just always have a cane. I now have a cane for life. Jimmy yeah thats your move, yeah. I now have a cane so jimmy i totally yeah. I support that, totally. We had altuve on the show. Gosh, i love that guy. The houston astros, he was just unbelievable. And you guys have gotten kind of close. I didnt realize this. Yeah, no, we weve hung out for a few years now. I mean, i take batting practice with the astros. Jimmy do you really . Almost every year. Yeah. But hes better than me at that too. [ laughter ] but no, hes a great guy. Hes so much fun. Hes funloving. I mean, and hes incredible. Hes such an incredible athlete. Hes also like up to the hes like this. [ laughter ] jimmy yeah. I mean, thats very interesting. Yeah, we can see. Yeah. Yeah. Jimmy youre sitting on a a stool and hes standing up completely. Yeah. [ laughter ] yeah. But hes the man. Hes the man. Jimmy oh hes fantastic. I couldnt get enough of him on t. V. I was watching him, every time i saw him im like he seems like a cool guy. He dances. Yeah, hes the man. Jimmy hes just great and his obviously just hitting homers and doesnt even care. It was the coolest thing. So i was sitting at home watching the world series obviously with everybody and i was out on my back porch and he had hit a home run and you could literally hear the cheers from all over the whole neighborhood. I thought that was jimmy isnt that the greatest . That was one of the coolest things in the whole world and i think thats why its so cool to share the cover with this guy, because i mean, to be able to bring a city together through sports and to be able through of all the seasons you can win a world series, of all the seasons you could ever win your first world series, to do it at a time like this and i saw this one photo where no they didnt have any dry wall in their house, they didnt have any furniture. They were sitting on fivegallon buckets and they were watching a t. V. That they had rigged up and they were watching us win the world series and cheering. And i think that was such a a powerful message that sports are so much bigger than just hitting a ball out of the park. Youre literally lifting peoples spirits and making them forget about what theyre going through for that minute. And i think jose and the guys deserve so much better for that. Jimmy absolutely. [ cheers and applause ] and he he sent you something, right . After they won the world series. Yeah, he did. Jimmy whatd he send you . He sent me a bottle of whiskey, which is always accepted. Jimmy yeah. Jose. Christmas. Jimmy it was christmas, yeah, exactly. Whenever. But it came with a great letter. I mean, it came with a really special letter that i thought was a real class move by jose and it just speaks to the type of person he is. Jimmy we brought the letter here and i was just wondering if you wouldnt mind just maybe reading it to everyone. Yeah, of course. Of course. Jimmy this is for real. Thats right it speaks to the type of person he is. Hes a great guy. So he said, j. J. , from one htown brother to another, thanks for all youve done this year for the city that you call home. Your support for all things houston, from Hurricane Relief to being our number one fan has been nothing short of incredible. So i hope youll accept this fine whiskey gift i gave to all my teammates following our championship run because to me, youre absolutely part of the squad. Cheers, jose. So, i mean thats a good guy.
