Here we are again in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicable, shocking and painful tragedy, this time in las vegas. Which happens to be my home town and cletos hometown and cleto sr. s hometown. As you know, 59 people are dead. Hundreds are wounded in what they say was the deadliest mass shooting in modern American History coming about 1 1 2 years after the previous deadliest mass shooting in modern American History, in orlando, where 49 people lost their lives. Of course, we pray for the victims and for their families and friends, and we wonder why, even though theres probably no way to ever know why a human being would do Something Like this to other human beings who are at a concert having fun and listening to music. Jason aldean was on stage, luke combs, who is here with us tonight, he played the show, too. Obviously no one could have ever expected that something terrible would happen, but it did. A very sick person smuggled 17 guns into his hotel room and smashed out the windows, started firing indiscriminately from the 32nd floor into a crowd of 22,000 people across the street. And as a result of that, this morning we have children without parents and fathers without sons is, mothers without daughters. We lost two police officers. We lost a nurse from tennessee, a special ed teacher from a local school here in manhattan beach. And its the kind of thing that it makes you want to throw up or give up. Its too much to even process, all these devastated families who have to live with this pain forever because one person with violent and insane voice in his head managed to stockpile a collection of highpowered rifles and used them to shoot people. The guy was an accountant. He had no criminal record. His brother who lives in florida seems totally shocked, genuinely dumbfounded. He said he saw no sign of any of this. The owner of the store that sold the killer some of the rifles that he passed the government mandated background check when he was in the store and he wasnt on any watchlist. Didnt seem to be a religious or political extremist. Came out of nowhere. Because of that, because there werent any of the usual signs, you know, ive been reading comments from people who say this is terrible, but theres nothing we can do about it. But i disagree with that intensely because, of course, theres something we can do about it. There are a lot of things we can do about it. But we dont, which is interesting because when someone with a beard attacks us, we tap phones, we invoke travel bans, we build walls to take every possible precaution to make sure it doesnt happen again but when an american buys a gun and kill other americans, then theres nothing we can do about it. The second amendment, i guess, our forefathers wanted us to have ak47s is the argument, i assume. Orlando, newtown, aurora, san bernardino, every one of these shootings the murderer used automatic or semiautomatic rifles which are not weapons you use for selfdefense. Theyre weapons designed to kill large number of people in the shortest possible alt of timoun time. This guy apparently had ten of them in his room. At least legally. At least some were there illegally. Why was this allowed . I dont know why our leaders continue this to happen. Five people shot shot in lawrence, kansas, last night, three of them died. It didnt make a blip because this is a regular part of our lives now. You know what will happen . Well pray for las vegas. Some of us will get motivated. Some of us wont get motivated. The bills will be written, the nra will smother it with money and well get distracted and move on to the next thing and it will happen again and again. And last night, the White House Press secretary Sara Sanderson said this morning it was not the time for political debate. I dont know. We have 59 innocent people dead. It wasnt their time either. So i think now is the time for political debate. President trump is visiting las vegas on wednesday. He spoke this morning, said hes praying for those who lost their lives. You know, in february he also signed a bill that would make it easier for people with severe Mental Illness to buy guns legally. Mitch mcconnell, speaker of the house, paul ryan, a number of other lawmakers who wont do anything about this because the nra has their balls in a money clip also sent their thoughts and prayers today. Which is good. They should be praying for god to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country because it is so crazy. Right now there are loopholes in the law that let people avoid background checks if they buy a gun privately from another party, they buy it online or at a gunshow. So i want to show you something. These are the faces of the senators who days after the shooting in orlando voted against the bill that would have closed those loopholes. These are the 56 senators who didnt want to do anything about that. 90 of democrats im not talking about politicians here im talking about people. And 77 of republicans support background checks at gun shows. 89 of republicans and democrats are if favor of restricting gun ownership for the mentally ill. But not this gang. They voted against both of those things. So with all due respect, your thoughts and your prayers are insufficient. And by the way, the house of representatives will be voting on a piece of legislation this week. Its a bill to legalize the sale of silencers for guns. This is what theyre working on. We have a major problem with gun violence in this country. And i guess they dont care. If im wrong on that, fine, do something about it. Because im sick of it. And you know, i want this to be a comedy show. I hate talking about stuff like this. I just want to laugh about things every night, but that it seems to becoming increasingly difficult lately. It feels like someone has opened a window into hell. And what im talking about tonight isnt about gun control. Its about common sense. Common sense says no good will ever come from allowing a person to have weapons that can take down 527 americans at a concert. Common sense says you dont let those who suffer from Mental Illness buy guns. You know, in june of last year the nra fought to make sure people on the nofly list can buy guns. They are allowed to get on a plane, theyre allowed to own a very dangerous gun. Who thinks that makes sense . Them, i guess. The people who voted with the nra. Maybe im nuts, but i would like to think we could put politics aside, no american citizen needs an m16 or ten of them. And maybe that way we dont do this again. I mean, that seems very reasonable to me. [ applause ] you know, in 1980, we had a big fire at mgm, the hotel in las vegas. It was horrible, right . I mean, 85 people died. You could see the fire. I was 13 years old. Ill never forget. A man jumped out the window. It was a terrible thing to see. And then a few months later there was another fire at the hilton and five people died. So you know what they did . They changed the laws. They made major changes to the fire safety codes, and it hasnt happened again. Why would we approach this differently . Its a Public Safety issue. And something needs to be done already. So tell your congresspeople to do something. I mean, its not enough to send your love and prayer. We do. We send our love and support and whatever else is needed to las vegas and families from all over the country and canada who had the worst night of their lives last night. You know, vegas is a funny town. Its easy to forget people live there. But they do. I mean, lots of good people. These people showed up in droves today to donate blood because its the only thing they could do. And so they did it. But there is more that we can do, and we need to do it. And thank god for the police in las vegas who risked their lives trying to locate the man with the gun. Thank god for the doctors and nurses and firefighters and paramedics who rose to the occasion as they always seem to do when we need them to. And for the concert goers themselves who helped each other, who threw their bodies on top of each other, who drove their private cars full of people who were bleeding to the hospital. You know, dont forget them. And dont forget whats going on in puerto rico either because just because theyre not the lead story today, they still need help. And if you want to help either one of those cities, puerto ricos not a city, obviously, vegas or puerto rico, a good way to do that is to give to the american red cross. Theres the information right there on the screen. And we send all our love to our family and friends in las vegas and to everyone affected by this terrible event. Im sorry for getting emotional. Im not great with this kind of thing, but i just its important, you know. [ applause ] [ cheers and applause ] well be right back.

Jimmy hes been on 51 times. Im chasing him, you know that. Im chasing him. 21 more to catch him. Jimmy we can make that up by the end of the year. Lets do it. Jimmy if you really want to. Are you guys still friends . Jimmy of course. Okay. Jimmy by the way, i saw you last at the emmys a couple weeks ago. Yes. Jimmy and in fact, when i saw you, you were on stage very busy presenting the best variety talk series award to another show, to john oliver instead of your dear friend jim. How many times have you been on john olivers show . No times. When you ate the paper last year, you could have said my name and i could have gone home with an emmy. Jimmy really . Nobody would have been the wiser. You chewed up the winning name. Jimmy i forgot about that. I would do that for you but it was cardboard and i couldnt swallow all that. Jimmy the point im really getting to is later that evening i went to the dinner theres a big dinner. They call it the governors ball afterwards. Yes, mmhmm. Jimmy and who was at the dinner but your mom doris. My mama doris. Yep. [ applause ] jimmy and we took a picture. And who is this woman that was with your mom . She introduced me, but i forget. I forget her name but thats one of my moms oldest friends and coworkers. I hadnt seen her in 25 years, so it was a shock. Jimmy she brought someone she hasnt seen in 25 years. No, theyre good friends. I havent seen her in 25 years. Ro mona. Woo im sorry. Jimmy you would have been in trouble. Yeah. But what also shocked me was who else my mother had with her at the emmys. Now, my mother has befriended a stalker of mine on facebook. No, shes a harmless stalker, but a stalker nonetheless. Jimmy a Facebook Stalker or a physical, present stalker. Both. Jimmy oh. If you go to her facebook site, you would think that were married by the pictures we have of she and i. Jimmy can we go to her Facebook Page . Yes, we can. Jimmy i dont know how to work it. I knew you were going to do this. But my mother brought this woman to emmys with her. They planned vacations together. They came to me it was like, me and your mama are going to jamaica together. No, i did not know that, stalker lady. Jimmy how did they meet in first place . Look at that picture right there. Look who else shes stalking. Jimmy me. Look who else shes stalking. But hold on. Look. Now, if you were to go and see this ladys site and go into photos, there are like 100 pi pictures the of me and her together at hundreds of events. Jimmy oh, thats our producer ken crosby. Thats the [ bleep ] that got her into the governors ball with my mama. [ applause ] jimmy let me get a little look at that. Hold on. Theyre all hooked up. You know he likes chocolate. He gets a divorce now. I know what he was doing. I know what he was doing. Jimmy wonder how hammered ken was that night . Trust me, he probably went home with the stalker. Jimmy he took the picture. I said take a picture of me with anthonys mom for anthony. I want to send it to him. Right. Jimmy he took the picture and then sent it to me. And today when i said, hey, yeah, are you going to show that picture you sent me . He said what picture. What are you talking about . He had no memories of that ever happening. But he had memories of raquel, i bet. Maybe a little ken and raquel baby coming. Jimmy so was your mom friendly with your stalker before she was a stalker or did she meet her on facebook or how did that work . No, you know what . This woman, shes friendly, shes cool. She just appears at events. I saw her with my mother one day at an event. Mom, watch out for her because i said i dont know who this lady is but she has several hundred pictures of me on facebook. Its kind of weird. The next thing i know my mother and her are hanging out at bingo parties. I told you theyre talking on going to trips to jamaica together. Jimmy thats crazy. And she shows up with her unannounced to events that im at. Jimmy i think you found the only woman who loves you more than your mother. Oh, my god. I didnt think that was possible. Jimmy how old are your kids now . My daughters 21, my sons 17. Jimmy have they met grandmas stalker yet . No, they have not. They have not. Jimmy what are they doing . Your daughters in college right now . A senior in college at the university of san diego. My sons a senior at sierra canyon. Jimmy got you. You were working when you went to Howard University . I went to Howard University and i had a job. My daughters a sociology double major, that and ethnic studies. But she worked at a womans shelter not shelter but something for women in college. Jimmy got you. So because youve been on the show 30 times, we sometimes have to go very, very deep research wise. Okay. Jimmy one of the things we uncovered that we hadnt previously known was that when you were in college you had kind of a relick didiculous job. A ridiculous job. I was the mascot for a gourmet dessert delivery company. Jimmy so somebody get hungry and they call you . They call the company and i would deliver to their offices or to their homes or whatnot. And i would sing songs. I would sing happy birthday happy anniversary, happy wedding, happy divorce. Whatever you needed to celebrate when you called and ordered that cake or slice of cake or whatever, i brought it to you and sang the song. Jimmy and what did you wear for that job . I wore a black pair of pants, tights, i wore some bedazzled chuck taylor high tops. Jimmy okay. I wore the companys logo sweatshirt. I wore silver gloves to match the shoes. I wore silver long ranger mask. And i had a pink cape. [ laughter ] and on the back of the cape it said, if you ever need to be saved, dial 797crave. And my name was captain cravings. Jimmy captain cravings. You were kind of in the marvel superhero you are scaring the hell out of me right now. Jimmy we couldnt find a picture of it. So we made a picture of what that might look like. [ laughter ] [ applause ] jimmy is that possible . What the hell is up with that hat . [ laughter ] jimmy i dont know. Okay. Jimmy why did the captain have a hat like that . Doesnt make sense. The cape wasnt that long. It just stopped at the waist. But you got the color, yeah. Captains cravings, yeah. Jimmy no hat . No hat. And the lone ranger mask was silver and bedazzled like the Michael Jackson glove us have there. Jimmy well work on it. And try to get it closer, then well put it on the internet and tell everybody its a real picture. All right, captain, well take a break. When we come back, well look another a new episode of blackish. Anthony anderson is here. Well be right back. Dicky portions of
