[0:00] Welcome, welcome to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
[0:03] I'm your guest host, Ike Barinholtz.
[0:05] This is...
[0:06] Well, thank you. Thank you.
[0:07] Okay.
[0:11] This is my fourth and final night hosting.
[0:14] I know. It's okay. It's okay.
[0:16] I have to go back and finish filming season two of the studio.
[0:20] Yes.
[0:23] But Jimmy will be back in September.
[0:26] That explosive diarrhea, it's no joke, folks.
[0:30] The man loves his lettuce.
[0:32] The main event in America tonight was Donald Trump's big primetime speech.
[0:39] You could actually go online and bet on which words Trump would say during the speech.
[0:45] These are the odds on Kalshi.
[0:47] You could wager on whether he would say Democrat, Barack Hussein Obama, or transgender.
[0:57] Now, look, however you feel about online gambling,
[1:01] you have to admit that Donald Trump not talking about transgender mice
[1:06] is the funniest way to lose your kid's college fund.
[1:09] That is absolutely true.
[1:12] On the topic of White House gambling,
[1:14] we learned today that the guy who operates Trump's teleprompter
[1:18] has reportedly made more than $100,000 betting on stuff that Trump would mention in his speeches,
[1:24] which he clearly had inside information on.
[1:28] He's a regular Pete Rose garden.
[1:31] Sorry.
[1:34] Acid reflux.
[1:37] White House press secretary Caroline Levitt was asked about the teleprompter operator
[1:41] during her press briefing today.
[1:42] What steps is the White House taking to ensure something like that doesn't happen?
[1:47] Well, the White House has extremely strict ethical guidelines
[1:51] with respect to issues like this.
[1:53] And as I just told you, this individual will no longer be here.
[1:57] He'll be on paid administrative leave.
[2:00] I'm sorry, without pay.
[2:01] The administrative leave is unpaid.
[2:02] Yeah, he doesn't need to get paid.
[2:05] He just made $100,000 on Kalshi.
[2:07] It's crazy.
[2:08] $100,000, that's nothing, by the way.
[2:10] The Guillermo won $10 million, betting that I would mention diarrhea in the opening monologue.
[2:16] So, right there.
[2:17] You better give me a taste.
[2:20] I want a taste of that.
[2:21] A little bit.
[2:23] But no one is making more money right now than the president himself.
[2:27] In fact, he's literally on the money.
[2:31] The U.S. Department of Treasury has begun producing a special gold $1 coin
[2:35] with the president's face on it.
[2:37] The coin will be available beginning this fall,
[2:39] but thanks to inflation, it will only be worth 50 cents.
[2:42] Because of the boar and stuff, you know.
[2:46] This is the front of the coin.
[2:48] I've got to say, they really, really nailed the skin tone.
[2:53] And equally beautiful is the back of the coin.
[2:57] Oh, my God.
[2:58] Oh, no.
[3:01] Tails, we all lose.
[3:03] Yikes.
[3:05] Oh, no.
[3:08] Things are very tense at the White House right now.
[3:11] Trump officials have reportedly been asking people to turn in their phones
[3:15] as part of an investigation into whoever has been leaking information to the press.
[3:19] The investigation is being run by Trump's chief of staff,
[3:22] who is apparently a depressed Paul LaDine impersonator named Susie Wiles.
[3:28] But FBI Director Cash Patel is also heading up the probe,
[3:31] though he might have a bit of a hard time unlocking those phones.
[3:35] It's difficult to use face ID when this is your face.
[3:38] Oh, my God.
[3:39] Oh, FBI, aye, aye.
[3:43] Am I right, Guillermo?
[3:44] You are right.
[3:45] Yeah.
[3:46] We are now on the no-fly list because of that joke.
[3:51] We have an update on something I mentioned last night.
[3:54] It involves this clip where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
[3:58] appears to release some of his own greenhouse gas.
[4:02] Take a listen.
[4:02] Now on Iran and the NDAA.
[4:08] Well, today, the folks at TMZ, they caught up with Chuck on Capitol Hill.
[4:13] And I've got to be honest, I've always found TMZ to be a little problematic here in L.A.
[4:18] But now that they're in D.C., I'm a big fan.
[4:22] Senator Jacob with TMZ, did you fart yesterday on the Senate floor?
[4:26] Crazy.
[4:33] No comment from the senator.
[4:35] No comment.
[4:36] Silent but deadly once again.
[4:38] Are you guys all excited for the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina?
[4:49] Guillermo, what are you doing?
[4:51] What are your plans for the game, buddy?
[4:53] Well, I'm going to watch it at my house, making margarita, and I'm going to be in a swimming pool.
[4:59] So you're going to be in the pool watching the game?
[5:02] Yes, and drinking margarita.
[5:04] And drinking margarita.
[5:05] Yes.
[5:05] So you have like a TV by your pool?
[5:08] Yes, I do.
[5:10] Wow, man.
[5:11] Someone made some kalshi money right there.
[5:14] Good for you, baby.
[5:15] Good for you.
[5:16] Very good.
[5:17] Very nice.
[5:19] Much of the focus ahead of the game is on the matchup between 39-year-old Lionel Messi
[5:24] of Argentina and the young star from Spain, Lamine Yamal.
[5:28] But as it turns out, and this is 100% true, that Messi actually met Yamal in 2007 when he
[5:36] was just a little baby.
[5:37] This picture was taken, this is true, when Yamal's family won a raffle to get a photo
[5:42] with Messi, who was 20 at the time.
[5:45] This is insane.
[5:46] I mean, it's crazy to think that if Lamine Yamal had not become a huge star, Messi would
[5:52] have just been a weird 20-year-old washing a random baby.
[5:56] What the hell?
[5:57] It's crazy.
[5:58] I mean, can you imagine how awesome this trash talk is going to be?
[6:04] It's like, we're going to wipe the floor with your team, and then I'm going to wipe your
[6:07] butt like I did when I bathed you as a baby.
[6:10] Yeah.
[6:11] Yeah.
[6:12] Awesome.
[6:14] It's actually, it's a coincidence, because that is the exact same way me and Jimmy Kimmel
[6:20] met.
[6:20] There it is right there.
[6:22] He's a great talk show host, and he's very gentle on the undercarriage.
[6:29] Speaking of baby photos, two of my guests tonight are in several of my baby photos.
[6:34] My brother, John, and my dad, Alan Berenholz, are here.
[6:38] Yes, yes.
[6:39] Now, thank you.
[6:40] Now, my dad has actually led a very interesting life.
[6:45] You might know him as an actor from shows like Jury Duty and Running Point, but before
[6:50] that, he had a long career as an attorney, and now, him and I are partnering together
[6:55] for a new legal venture dedicated to helping the criminally stupid.
[7:01] Attention.
[7:02] Have you or someone you love been injured in a viral internet video?
[7:06] Then we'll get you some money.
[7:10] I'm Alan Berenholz.
[7:11] I've spent 45 years as a lawyer, specializing in malpractice and civil rights cases.
[7:16] And I'm Ike Berenholz, his son.
[7:19] Here at the Law Offices of Berenholz and Berenholz, we'll get you the cash settlement
[7:23] you deserve.
[7:25] No matter what dumbass thing you did on YouTube.
[7:28] Have you broken your tailbone trying to ride a pig without consent?
[7:31] Received a concussion while attempting to hoverboard in your place of work?
[7:35] Developed asthma after being coated in toxic gender reveal powder?
[7:39] Did a hippopotamus spray diarrhea on your children?
[7:43] Then you're entitled to compensation, and we're just the guys to sue that hippo back to the
[7:49] stone age.
[7:50] Ike!
[7:51] Language.
[7:52] No, but I can swear, and also, when I do this, though, turn around so we're making the same
[7:56] picture, man.
[7:57] We also handle stair injuries, roof oopsies, ladder fractures, George's been sledding
[8:03] contusions, lean squirrels, face clamps, topsy-turvy porta-potties, fat guy on a diving board,
[8:08] vehicular picnic mayhem, agitated llamas, clergy drownings, flaming jump ropes, clumsy strippers,
[8:14] misuse of long furniture, Canadian spinal contusions, messed up, messed up, mental,
[8:19] mental, malpractice, eye injury, and fireworks that somehow burn your bockhole.
[8:25] But don't take our word for it, listen to these satisfied clients.
[8:30] I tried to fight a bison at Yellowstone because it ate my cigarettes.
[8:34] Barinholtz and Barinholtz got me 50 grand, and a colostomy bag.
[8:39] I lost me good eye jumping a dirt bike into a pine tree, and then that raccoon took me
[8:45] other.
[8:46] But them Barinholtz boys got me $6 million.
[8:48] Look it.
[8:49] Now I'm rich, you little raccoon bastard.
[8:53] That's right.
[8:54] Because you did some stupid doesn't mean you should suffer.

[9:24] One more thing.
[9:25] It is Thursday night, which means it's time to bleep and blur the big TV moments of the
[9:29] week.
[9:30] Whether they need it or not, it's this week in unnecessary censorship.
[9:34] The 65-year-old man that was a bison at Yellowstone National Park on Friday is now speaking out.
[9:43] As I told you in my office, I think the attorney general has the hardest in Washington, D.C.
[9:50] Food, like high quality and full fat is at the center of the American diet.
[9:56] In our politics lead, President Trump has some big .
[9:59] It wasn't so pungent, but it was a light stinky that I was, you know, I was expecting a giant
[10:06] but it was actually okay.
[10:08] Our school bathrooms have not felt like functional restrooms, but today we are here to celebrate
[10:13] a massive .
[10:15] Well, Angie, with Boutique Travel, she always has great advice and great tips for us.
