Madison square garden. The lights suddenly went out. And people were they had to cancel the show. People were on edge. You know, when this sort of thing happens. There was even an incident at a local bagel shop when the lights went out. Why is it okay for women to say youre on dating sites, we should be thats okay . Jimmy as you can see, tempers are running short there. [ laughter ] most broadway shows had to cancel their performances. But the cast of the tonywinning show hadestown decided to do a performance outside their theater. Blackout theres a blackout ooh theres a blackout ooh theres a blackout jimmy thats pretty good. Rarely do you see people cheering [ cheers and applause ] for a trombone. The mayor of new york city bill de blasio was campaigning in iowa when the power went out because hes running for president. Why hes running for president no one knows. [ laughter ] but when the lights came back on, his poll numbers had tripled all the way up to 1 . [ laughter ] you really miss the lights when they go out. Heres what happened when they went back on. [ cheers ] thats right. People were cheering in the streets. And then five minutes later everyone went right back to not speaking to each other ever. [ laughter ] the blackout was the number one trending thing on twitter on saturday. And today in case you dont know, today is twitters 13th birthday. Today twitter became a man. [ cheers and applause ] its like cheering for rabies, by the way. [ laughter ] to commemorate this milestone the folks at twitter put out a special message today to remind us of some of the highlights of their past 13 years. From all of us at twitter we want to thank you for 13 amazing years. From our Humble Beginnings in a garage in palo alto we started with a simple idea. What if Fortune Cookie messages were racist . [ laughter ] over the years weve grown to become the worlds fastest and easiest way to get fired from your job. And the most efficient method of telling famous people to go [ bleep ] themselves. [ laughter ] we were the first to report the miracle on the hudson. And the discovery of ice on mars. Allowed russia to elect their First American president. And provided a space where that president could call bette midler an extremely unattractive woman who sucked at the oscars. We breathed new life into the pound sign and that stupid letter a with the circle around it. Were proud of what weve look in the next Great American civil war. Twitter. An unregulated board for humanitys worst. And videos of toddlers doing this. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy now, thats nice. Congratulations to twitter. You know, without twitter we would just have to wonder if our president had racist thoughts on every subject. But now we can read those thoughts every day. Our tweetie bird president is out of his mind again. Yesterday you may know he lashed out at four democratic congresspeople, all of whom happen to be nonwhite women. He wrote, so interesting to see progressive democrat congresswomen who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States the greatest and most powerful nation on earth how our government is to be run. Why dont they go back and help fix the totally broken and crimeinfested places from which they came, then come back and show us how it is done . And of course three of the congresswomen he attacked were born here in the United States. And the other one moved here when she was 10 years old. And even some republicans condemned the president for this. Not many. But some. Not only did he not apologize, he did what he always does, he doubled down on it. They have to love they have to love our country. Theyre congresspeople. And i never used any names. But these are people quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet quiet. These are people that if they dont like it here they can leave. Jimmy as soon as he said that, melania started running to the airport. [ cheers and applause ] she was stopped by secret service. He said these women hate israel, theyre pro al qaeda. And this was interesting. Someone got a shot of his notes. This is how he spells al qaeda. Zoom in on that. For real. Alcaida. Which by the way, is wrong because he is foolish. [ laughter ] but one republican who did speak out against the president s racism was senator Lindsey Graham. What is your reaction to hearing what donald trump says . Disgusted. I want to talk to the Trump Supporters for a minute. I dont know who you are and i dont know why you like this guy. Hes a racebaiting xenophobic religious bigot. Jimmy unfortunately, thats what he said four years ago when he was running against trump. This is what he said today. We just checked out Lindsey Grahams twitter account, and he posted this image yesterday. And joining us right now, weve got senator Lindsey Graham, republican from south carolina, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. Looked like a fun day. It was a fun day, and trumps the best golfer. Youre the best golfer. Jimmy Lindsey Graham is probably the closest donald trump will ever come to owning a dog. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] on friday another cabinet member, the secretary of labor, alex acosta, resigned for his role approving a very light sentence given to the accused pedophile billionaire jeffrey epstein. And this was nuts. After acosta resigned because of this the president brought him out on the white house lawn to try to show some kind of solidarity. Someone asked trump if acosta was a democrat and trump passed that question along. Are you a democrat . Im not, no. I have no idea. You know what i know . You know what i know about alex . He was a great student at harvard. Hes hispanic, which i which i so admire. Jimmy yes indeed. It takes a lot of guts to be hispanic. It really does. [ laughter ] one of the things i admire about you, guillermo. [ cheers and applause ] Vice President pence on friday took a tour of two Detention Centers in texas, where he questioned a group of children who were being kept very humanely locked up in cells. And if you watch very closely here, you can see the exact the moment mike pence realizes maybe hes not getting into heaven. Are they taking good care of you here . Si. Si . Okay. How long did it take you to get here . [ speaking Foreign Language ]. It took two months to get here and three months to get here. Okay. Did you walk the whole way . [ speaking Foreign Language ]. Yes. Long journey. Jimmy yeah. Thats his concerned face, in case you were wondering. Ill tell you what, though, between this and the space force hes basically fighting real aliens and illegal ones both at the same time. Theres nothing this man cant do. The president claims these reports of bad conditions at the Detention Centers are bigly exaggerated. He wrote fridays tour showed vividly to politicians and the media how well run and clean the childrens Detention Centers are. Great reviews. [ laughter ] yeah. 100 on Rotten Tomatoes right now. [ laughter ] at this point our best hope is trump turns the place into one of his casinos and it goes out of business in like two weeks. [ cheers and applause ] it really is oh, so this is crazy too. More than a million people, i dont know if you saw this, have signed up on facebook with the intention of storming area 51. This is the military facility in the nevada desert where many believe ufos and evidence of alien life is kept. The event is called storm area 51, they cant stop all of us. Maybe not. But they can stop some of you. [ laughter ] and the air force had to put out a statement warning people not to storm them. Area 51 is an open Training Range for the u. S. Air force and we would discourage anyone from trooim trying trying to come. The u. S. Air force always stands ready to protect america and its assets. And if the air force cant stop them, why, theyll send in the space force to finish the job. [ laughter ] it does seem like the world is getting nuttier. Even in chess theres a scandal rocking the world of international chess. Theres a grandmaster named igor rausas who was caught cheating during a tournament. And the way he cheated is he went into the bathroom and he used a chess app to help with his moves. You see there he is on his phone with a pretty cool set of compression socks on. [ laughter ] unfortunately, whoever was taking secret photos in the mens room is still at large. [ laughter ] tonight on the bachelorette it was fantasy suite night tonight and the drama centered around the villain of this season, the despicable luke p. Luke p. Was the only guy who didnt make it to the fantasy suite tonight. He enraged hannah by telling her that if she dared to have sex with any of the other guys hed leave. And, well, he got his wish. There have been so many times that like i have wanted to say im done with you. But my heart has just not allowed me to let you go. And i prayed so much for clarity. And i feel like ive finally gotten clarity on you. And i do not want you to be my husband. Jimmy why it took so long [ cheers and applause ] for her to figure this out i dont know. But luke didnt go without a fight. In fact, he almost didnt go at all. Theres me that is refusing me to get into that vehicle right now because my if you really i could probably get you to get in that limo. So like i have had sex. Say what . Yeah. And i jesus still loves me. I didnt just go to the fantasy suite. I [ bleep ] in a windmill. And guess what . We did it a second time. Jimmy she really, really did [ cheers and applause ] they did do it in a windmill, which was a first for the show. And by the way, that kiss is what they call a Renewable Energy source. So to recap, luke told hannah if she had sex with the other guys he would 100 leave. And he did 100 leave. But based on the scenes they shared from next week hes 100 coming back. So hannah also enjoyed the fantasy suite with tyler, who tyler wanted to give her a private massage. So he kicked everyone out of the room to do it. Thats [ laughter ] jimmy we have a good show tonight. We have music tonight from a gentleman, maybe you heard his name. Garth brooks is on the show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] garth is right now 2,000 miles away from us in chicago. He has a new duet with Blake Shelton called dive bar. And garth joins us now from an actual dive bar. [ cheers and applause ] hey, garth, how are you doing . Were doing great. This is the place to be. Jimmy i see arms but i dont see people. I assume there are people attached to those arms. If you move this way a little bit you can see all of them. Everybody wave. Jimmy garth, why are you on a tour of dive bars . Is it the smell that you love . Yes. Its everything i love about this is where our music was born. So yeah, this is it. Weve got a dive bar single out with Blake Shelton right now, fellow okie. So were starting our dive bar tour here tonight at joes in chicago. Jimmy excellent. Couldnt you have just told trisha you wanted to go out drinking and not gone through this whole process . I guess i could have. But shes granted me this. So this is going to be the first of many. So were excited about it. Jimmy what is the next stop on the tour after chicago . I cant tell you. Jimmy its a secret, right . Youre kind of popping in as a surprise. Yeah, man. And its fun. And chicago, if it goes anything like this, before we even get on stage this place has been the most fun you could possibly imagine. So if they go like this were going to have a great sometime. Jimmy garth, is it true youre planning to do a shot with every person in that bar before youre done tonight . Its tradition, yes. Jimmy all right. So thats garth brooks. He is in chicago.

Big little lies wraps its Second Season sunday night. Please say hello to shailene woodley. [ cheers and applause ] very good to see you. Its great osee you too. Jimmy i dont know if youre aware of this what a warm welcome coming here. Jimmy its funny that you say that because i want you to know something. Its fake . Jimmy its a little bit fake, yes. But when you come here everyone on our staff remarks on how friendly you are to everyone here. And we dont get that always. Thats a shame. Jimmy well, its not that people are unfriendly. Its that you are particularly friendly. Im overfriendly. Jimmy maybe overfriendly. Maybe something you need to dial back a little. No. I definitely know some people who think so. Jimmy is that right . You get that kind of a criticism sometime like oh, yeah. Jimmy really . I mean, when youre eternally optimistic, you know, and people in your family or your friend groups arent, you can be annoying. Jimmy interesting. [ laughter ] im the annoying optimist. My optimistic . I am. Jimmy you are. I am. Jimmy do you feel optimistic about like the future of this country right now . No. I feel optimistic of the future of humanity. Jimmy okay. I mean, its so much bigger than just this country. Thats where my optimism comes in. Im like oh, but then theres this, theres that. How about that one . Its overflowing in new zealand. So why cant it overflow here too one day . [ laughter ] jimmy you just flew in from fiji, right . I did. Jimmy is that where you started thinking about this stuff . No. But the fijians are very optimistic. Jimmy as a general rule they are . Not that ive met every fijian. But the fijians i have met, which is quite a few, theyre just so friendly. When im there im like oh, im home. People smile. They hug you. They welcome you into their houses. If you need to eat and you say youre hungry all of a sudden theres ten meals in front of you. And thats not because im on tv, you know, whatever. Its just their culture. Like they really they care about their elders. They care about their neighbors. They care about each other. And its really inspiring. Jimmy is that what attracts you to fiji . Because i know last time you were here your boyfriend lives there also. Yeah. He works there for yeah, he works there. He plays rugby in fiji. Jimmy hes a big star, big rugby star there. Oh, yeah. I mean, its insane. He cant get we dont know rugby in america. I didnt know what rugby was before i met him. But its so big in the southern hemisphere. He cant hell be driving in a taxi and people will get out of their cars just to wave at its so bizarre. And then he comes to america and people are like rugby . Jimmy that must be kind of nice for him, though, to be able to go somewhere where hes completely unknown. Totally. Jimmy whereas i would imagine they all know you in fiji, yes . They know me now because i did a movie there. Thats kind of and you know, im dating someone from there. The other thing about fiji is if i say one thing to you they will all know what i said to you within five minutes. Its remarkable. Jimmy why is that . I didnt tell half the people i know in fiji i was going there this time. I landed at the airport, i took one photo with one person at the airport. Ten minutes later i got texts from every single person. I had a friend in america text me and saying i didnt know you were in fiji right now. I think its just a small island and because they are all so friendly with one another they also like to talk a lot to each other. I dont know. Jimmy maybe its is everyone because everyone knows each other everyone following everyone on instagram . Well, theyre all related. A lot of them, theyre all cousins. Jimmy thats weird if you think about it. My dude ben has like a thousand cousins. Its weird for us americans. But its not weird for them. Jimmy of course not. Its normal. It would be weird, though, i think if youre dating. Jimmy you have a flip phone, right . Is it true you carry only a flip phone, you do not have a smartphone of any kind . I have both. Jimmy you have both. I have both. I have my iphone still because it will work in wifi and its just easier to text on. But i have a flip phone. My iphone has no data. Reporter when people see you using a flip phone it must be all they want to talk about, right . Its actually a really good social experiment because a lot of people dont notice. And i think its a way for me to go oh, this is why i wanted a flip phone, because we dont notice each other anymore. And then the people who do notice are shocked. They literal
