Sure. As you may know, i wound up in the middle of the National Health care debate after i know its ridiculous, but after a senator, senator bill cassidy of louisiana who was on my show in may and promised a Health Care Plan would pass the jimmy kimmel test. My son billy had open heart surgery shortly after he was born. He needs two more surgeries and that experience opened my eyes to how difficult life can be for parents in that situation and how important it is that families are covered like we are. Unfortunately, the plan senator k cassidy and his colleague Lindsey Graham came up with does not sufficiently protect those parents or children or anyone really. So i called him out, because he said it passed the jimmy kimmel test. Its a personal thing for me. I was in three cities this weekend, and at a charity event. I met so many people, almost every one of them was a stranger, wanting to tell me that the Affordable Care act that our president and half our senators are trying to kill saved or drastically approved their lives, members of their familys lives and or their childrens lives. They come up to me and said, mr. Fallon, thank you for speaking out and i just let it go, because i talked to probably 200 people, and i heard these stories, saw pictures of children who are not well. People got teared up. Quite a few of them told me they were republicans. Not politicians. Only 47 of Republican Voters approve upon Graham Cassidy, but more than 90 of republican senators are likely to vote for it. A new abc news poll says americans overall prefer obamacare to this new bill, 5633 , but some of our senators are still trying to pass this new bill, because they dont actually care what you think. They want you to think what they think. Thats why they keep saying obamacare is a disaster. You hear that word a lot. Obamacare definitely needs work, but think about this, did anyone have to convince you Hurricane Harvey was a disaster . No, because it was a disaster. Obviously. Someone has to keep telling you something is a disaster, it probably isnt one. And no one has spoken about this disaster thing more than donald trump. Obamacare is an absolute disaster. Obamacare is a disaster. Obama care, a disaster. Obamacare is a disaster. Obamacare is a disaster. Obamacare is a disaster. Obamacare is a total disaster. The disaster known as obama care. The disaster known as obamacare. The disaster known as obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster. Obamacare is a disaster. The disaster known as obamacare that was easy. Jimmy someone needs to get thim thesaurus already. Then on friday, common sense and decency prevailed when senator john mccain of arizona wrote in and pulled a red wedding on this thing, saying he could not support cassidy graham, even though it was cowritten by one of his closest friends. You know how many times ive w. And senator mccains position on this did not go over well with President Trump. Heres what trump had to say about it, during yet another mast ur ba tore rally in huntsville, alabama on friday. John mccain came in and went thumbs down at 3 00 in the morning. I know so much, folks, i could tell you. It was sad. And we had a couple of other senators, but, you know, at least we knew where we stood. That was like really a horrible thing. Honestly, that was a horrible, horrible thing that happened to the Republican Party. Said the horrible horrible thing that happened to the Republican Party. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy hes not even right. The truth is john mccain probably saved the Republican Party by doing this. Because if you think Graham Cassidy is unpopular now, wait until people have to live with it, or not live with it. Then who gets blamed . The Republican Party. This is one of the rare moments when we actually needed congress to do nothing. Which is what theyre really good at, by the way. Anyway, i tweeted my thanks to senator mccain over the weekend, and that apparently caught the attention of the folks at fox friends. Talking about praising, its playing out everywhere, jimmy kimmel is praising john mccain, praising him for being a hero again and own and now again. Who says im not a serious advocate for Health Care Reform . Look at all the chicken wings on that. [ laughter and applause ] jimmy now i realize maybe i should have changed my profile picture before i got involved with this. So all the propaganda outlets got very excited. They found out, they read in an article that i spoke to senator schumer, who is a democrat, when i was doing research and they went nuts. They called me a pawn and a mouthpiece. They said i was a puppet for the democrats. They said i was extremely well endowed oh, no one said that . Anyway, this is what they said. Think about this. For months, a Network Evening show has been talking to one side of the aisle to get their talking points on a bill. If you want confirmation that the socalled Mainstream Media is the Opposition Party in bed with the democrats, there you have it. How much talk has his staff had with senator graham or cassidy or the majority leader . Probably none, maybe some. Jimmy kimmel, show up. Well get the talking points from chuck and nancy and fight this bill through the media. No surprise to those of us who feel like the deck is stacked against us in washington. Jimmy thank you man with a pony keg of gel in his hair. It would be easy to dismiss this as rightwing hysteria. I need to confess, come clean. Heres what happened. My wife and i were worried about health care. We didnt like what the republicans were doing, so we decided to have a baby with congenital heart defects. Once we had that going for us, i went on tfv, i spoke out, and w may have stopped cassidy graham, i still cant believe we pulled it off, but we did. Its amazing, isnt it . [ cheers and applause ] it is really unbelievable. You know, since i started speaking about this, ive been factchecked by against bill cassidy by six different organizations, every one of them came down on my side. Every Major Health Organization in the United States is on my side. Every Major Charity that has to do with health and medicare is on my side, because the facts were on my side. It has nothing to do with me, its just a matter of what is true and what isnt true. All day today the Senate Finance committee had a hearing on this bill. There were protests in the hallways, heated exchanges. At the end of the day, just about an hour and a half ago, one of the two key republican holdouts, susan collins, senator from maine, said she would not support Graham Cassidy, which means this bill is [ cheers and applause ] jimmy almost certainly dead, or at the very least its on life support, which isnt covered, so it will be dead. Thank you, senator collins. Maine Needs Affordable Health care more than almost any other state. The sewers up there are filled with childeating clowns. [ laughter ] and the best news is i can go back to talking about the kardashians. Guys, kylies pregnant [ cheers and applause ] jimmy anyway, the whole things been a roller coaster for me and my wife. Definitely some low moments, but on saturday night, Stevie Wonder had a concert in central park, where he dedicated a song that happens to be one of my favorite songs, to my son. This is for every wonderful child, a young baby boy, baby girl. Jimmy kimmel, this is for your child from me. Lets sing it, are yall ready . Lets go one, two isnt she lovely jimmy nice, but i dont know how to tell stevie my son is a boy. But its the thought that counts. Thank you, Stevie Wonder. I want to highlight one more incredible performance this weekend. I mentioned President Trump was in alabama ranting and raving about all manner of nonsense. He was on fire in huntsville, so we had no choice but to slow him down for another edition of drunk donald trump. Maybe ill end up moving to alabama or kentucky. Or, like some states. [ applause ] jimmy get the trucks ready. Well take a break. When we come back, we have Something Special when we come back, Jennifer Lawrence, gal gado and more in a new edition of mean tweets. Stick arou stick around, well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] when i look at you, i look back on my life and i know what it was for. What if i struggled. What if i sacrificed. And what if i swore id succeed. So you could wake up one day with the choice to be anything you wanted. Well then, my great granddaughter. It would all be worth it. You know win control . Be this guy. Check it out selfappendectomy oh, thats really attached. Thats why i rent from national. Where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me.

[ cheers and applause ] jimmy hi and welcome back to the show. Viola davis, music from grizzly bear is all coming, but first President Trump was tackling a new enemy this weekend. This time its the nfl. The president fired off 14 tweets over the past two days, lashing out at players who chose to kneel during the National Anthem, saying the league should fire or suspend them. Trump said his criticism had nothing to do with race, and whenever the president says it has nothing do with race, it 100 has everything to do with race. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy he called for a fan boy co boycott of the nfl. Donald trump tried unsuccessfully to buy the Buffalo Bills a few years ago, he made a bid to buy the team. They turned him down because they knew that any bills trump supports never pass. And we need passing. Have to have at least some. Anyway, i want to point out, for all his talked about respect, this was donald trump during the National Anthem at a republican debate. There are two things remarkable. One, trump is the only one without his hand on his heart. The other is that ted cruz is clearly fingering his nipple right there. I mean, he really loves hads country. Trump tweeted that players should respect the National Anthem because courageous patriots have fought and died for our Great American flag. Thats true, they have. But this is a man who got out of the droft because he had bone spurs in his foot. Even though he played High School Baseball and basketball on his New York Military Academy teams. But he couldnt go to vietnam because his feet hurt. So thats who is tweeting this sort of thing. The president also got into it with steph curry of the golden state warriors. Steph said he wasnt interested in going to the white house for the traditional visit from the nba champs. That prompted this tweet going to the white house is considered a great honor for a championship team. Steph curry is hesitating, therefore, invitation is withdrawn. The classic, you want to break up with me, i break up with you. [ laughter and applause ] it was really quite a week tweeting wise. We do need to stop criticizing him from playing golf. Let him play all heme wants. Keep him away from the tweet. If north korea said they believe this to be a declaration of war and has vowed to shoot down american planes. So just to recap, that donald trump this weekend got in a twitter feud with nfl, the north korea, and steph curry. Not a single word about the 3. 5 million citizens in puerto rico who are currently without power right now. Although in fairness to him, he probably doesnt know know puerto ricos part of the United States. He is tweeting its unbelievable. When it comes to mean tweets, no one touches our president , but that doesnt mean there arent those to try. From time to time, we like to shine the light on the trolls asking the celebrities to read the tweets. Here it is, a brandnew edition of mean tweets. Gal gadot, imma imma . I mma, is that a word . Imma be wondering why that woman got no titties. Theyre here. Emma wotson seems like the type of girl id be friends with for like three days and then get sick of but not tell her. Jake gyllenhaal has the most punchable face of all time. Id like nothing more than to sock him in his ugly, soft, starryeyed pug face. Elisabeth moss looks stunning, i think she can clean up well, despite my grandmothers harsh opinion that shes hideous. I bet that John Lithgows ball sack looks exactly like his face. My face is not complimented by my ball sack is. Dave chappell head dont fit his body no more. He forgot to exercise that milk dud. All frowning old dudes are jeffrey tam bor to me. Thats just hurtful. Can dweth paltrow stick to steaming her vagina and shut the [ bleep ] up for god sake. Jennifer anstor is what happens when a bag of flour gets its big break. Because its like im a bag of flour. Funny. Jim parsons looks like a ventriloquist dummy that came to life to become a sex offender. Oh, god. Jamie lanster has a tiny [ bleep ], pass it on. Kristin bell seems like the kind of person id be thrilled to be paired up with for a School Project but then would never want to hang out with her otherwise. Thats probably true. I bet Jennifer Lawrence gives real unenthusiastic [ bleep ]. How do they know . Im going to submit bob odenkirk to ugly whites. Someone just told me i smiled like Michael Keaton and i dont know if i should take one million selfies or put a gun in my mouth. Id put a gun in your mouth. At real donald trump writes just tried watching saturday night live, unwatchable, totally biased, not funny and the baldwin impersonation just cant get any worse. Sad. Is kumails [ bleep ] multiple colors. Yes, every shade of your moms lip sticks. And her butt hole.
