  • BOY, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

  • YOUR OFFICE IS RIGHT DOWN THE

  • BLOCK FROM US.

  • >> IT IS.

  • IT IS.

  • >> Jimmy: WITH THE SUPERHEROES

  • WANDERING BY ALL DAY LONG?

  • >> I HAD ONE OF THOSE

  • SUPERHEROES RUN AGAINST ME ONE

  • YEAR.

  • I KID YOU NOT.

  • >> Jimmy: WHO WAS RUNNING

  • AGAINST YOU?

  • >> SPIDER-MAN.

  • IT WAS AN OUTRAGE.

  • >> Jimmy: THERE'S A LOT OF

  • SPIDERMEN.

  • HE DIDN'T DO TOO WELL I'M

  • GUESSING.

  • >> HE DID NOT.

  • HE LOOKED BETTER ON THE SCREEN

  • THAN HE DID ON THE BALLOT.

  • >> Jimmy: HOW HAS YOUR LIFE

  • CHANGED OVER LIKE THE PAST YEAR

  • AS FAR AS YOUR DAILY LIFE, YOUR

  • DAILY ACTIVITIES?

  • >> IT'S CHANGED A LOT.

  • I MEAN, CERTAINLY WHEN I WALK

  • DOWN THE STREET I GET A

  • DIFFERENT REACTION, OFTEN VERY

  • EXTREME.

  • MOSTLY POSITIVE.

  • BUT SOMETIMES NOT SO MUCH.

  • >> Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT?

  • HERE IN LOS ANGELES YOU GET

  • NEGATIVE REACTION?

  • >> I REMEMBER WALKING DOWN THE

  • STREET IN BURBANK.

  • THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS ALMOST A

  • BLOCK AWAY.

  • I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE

  • RECOGNIZED ME.

  • BUT THE FIRST THING I HEAR IS

  • "THERE'S THAT A-HOLE.

  • THERE'S THAT SON OF A BITCH."

  • IN CASE I DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS

  • TALKING ABOUT, HIS WIFE WAS

  • LIKE, WHAT'S THE MATTER, HONEY?

  • "THERE'S ADAM SCHIFF."

  • I'M LIKE, I GUESS HE WAS TALKING

  • ABOUT ME.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • BUT IT'S MOSTLY GOOD.

  • IN FACT, I WAS IN NEW YORK

  • VISITING MY DAUGHTER AND WE WERE

  • WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND I'M

  • WEARING BLUE JEANS AND A CANVAS

  • JACKET AND SUNGLASSES AND I'M

  • SURPRISED PEOPLE ARE STOPPING

  • ME, THAT THEY CAN EVEN RECOGNIZE

  • ME.

  • MY DAUGHTER'S GETTING ANNOYED

  • BECAUSE --

  • >> Jimmy: HOW OLD'S YOUR

  • DAUGHTER?

  • >> SHE'S A SENIOR IN COLLEGE.

  • SHE'S WATCHING NOW.

  • AND PROBABLY EVEN MORE ANNOYED.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • SHE'S GETTING ANNOYED BECAUSE

  • THERE'S ONLY ONE CENTER OF

  • ATTENTION IN THE FAMILY AND IT'S

  • HER.

  • SKRRPT I SEE.

  • >> THE LAST STRAW WAS SOMEBODY

  • ASKED HER TO HOLD THEIR BEER

  • WHILE WE TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH.

  • >> Jimmy: OH, WOW.

  • >> AND AS WE WALKED AWAY SHE WAS

  • LIKE, WHAT AM I NOW, THE BEER

  • HOLDER?

  • I SAID ALEXA, I'M JUST SHOCKED

  • THAT ANYBODY CAN RECOGNIZE ME.

  • AND SHE SAYS, YOU KNOW, DAD,

  • IT'S THE PENCIL NECK.

  • >> Jimmy: LOOKING AT YOUR NECK,

  • AND IT DOESN'T SEEM PENCILLY AT

  • ALL.

  • IN FACT, I WOULD ARGUE THAT

  • TRUMP HAS A BIG FAT ORANGE NECK.

  • >> AND YOU WOULD BE RIGHT.

  • >> Jimmy: WHAT'S YOUR COLLAR

  • SIZE?

  • WHAT DO YOU WEAR?

  • >> I THINK IT'S A 16 1/2.

  • >> Jimmy: THAT'S PERFECTLY

  • REASONABLE.

  • >> I THOUGHT SO.

  • PEOPLE WILL COME UP TO ME AND

  • KIND OF LOOK ME OVER AND BE LIKE

  • YOUR NECK LOOKS PRETTY NORMAL.

  • THEY SEEM A BIT SURPRISED.

  • >> Jimmy: HE SEEMS TO BE VERY

  • FIXATED ON YOU IN GENERAL, AND I

  • THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD

  • THING, YES?

  • I MEAN, IT TELLS ME THAT YOU'RE

  • DOING YOUR JOB.

  • >> I SPEND HALF MY DAY INSIDE

  • HIS HEAD APPARENTLY.

  • AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, IT'S

  • PRETTY SCARY IN THERE.

  • IT'S EVERYTHING I CAN DO --

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • IT'S EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO

  • AVOID ALL THE MARBLES ROLLING

  • AROUND.

  • >> Jimmy: JUST YESTERDAY, FOR

  • INSTANCE, BEFORE HE LEFT FOR THE

  • BIG TRIP TO INDIA WHERE HE WAS

  • SUPPOSED TO WORK ON A TRADE

  • AGREEMENT, HE'S OUT -- LOOK,

  • HE'S TALKING ABOUT YOU.

  • >> THEY LEAKED IT.

  • ADAM CSCHIFF AND HIS GROUP.

  • THEY LEAKED IT TO THE PAPERS.

  • AND AS USUAL, THEY OUGHT TO

  • INVESTIGATE ADAM SCHIFF FOR

  • LEAKING THAT INFORMATION.

  • HE SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING

  • INFORMATION OUT OF INTELLIGENCE.

  • THEY OUGHT TO INVESTIGATE ADAM

  • SCHIFF.

  • >> Jimmy: NOW, SHOULD THEY

  • INVESTIGATE YOU?

  • >> ABSOLUTELY.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: WHO IS THEY THAT HE

  • WANTS TO -- WANTS TO DO AN

  • INVESTIGATION OF YOU?

  • WOULD THIS BE YOUR FELLOW

  • CONGRESSMEN?

  • >> ACTUALLY, NO.

  • IT'S MUCH MORE MALICIOUS THAN

  • THAT.

  • HE WANTS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,

  • HIS HAND-PICKED HACK AT THE

  • ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, BILL

  • BARR, TO INVESTIGATE HIS

  • POLITICAL ENEMIES.

  • >> Jimmy: SHOULDN'T EVERYONE,

  • REGARDLESS OF THEIR PARTY, BE

  • VERY TROUBLED BY THIS?

  • >> ABSOLUTELY.

  • AND AFTER WATERGATE WE TRIED TO

  • BUILD A STRONG WALL BETWEEN THE

  • OVAL OFFICE AND THE JUSTICE

  • DEPARTMENT SO THAT NO PRESIDENT

  • WOULD SEEK TO PROSECUTE HIS

  • ENEMIES, ABUSE THE JUSTICE

  • DEPARTMENT THAT WAY.

  • AND THAT WALL HAS BEEN SO BROKEN

  • DOWN BY THIS PRESIDENT.

  • HE AS YOU KNOW INTERVENED IN THE

  • SENTENCING OF ONE OF HIS

  • ACCOMPLICES, ROGER STONE.

  • >> Jimmy: YES.

  • >> HE HAS URGED THE

  • INVESTIGATION, PROSECUTION OF

  • JAMES COMEY, ADAM SCHIFF, YOU

  • NAME IT.

  • I MEAN, IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT

  • WASN'T SUCH A SERIOUS ASSAULT ON

  • THE RULE OF LAW.

  • AND THEN JUST THIS WEEK OF

  • COURSE HE FIRED THE HEAD OF ALL

  • THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES FOR

  • DOING HIS JOB, WHICH IS BRIEFING

  • CONGRESS ON THE THREAT TO OUR

  • ELECTIONS POSED BY A FOREIGN

  • POWER.

  • AND HE'S REPLACED HIM WITH

  • SOMEONE WHO HAS NO EXPERIENCE

  • EXCEPT BEING A LACKEY OF THE

  • PRESIDENT.

  • THIS IS JUST SO DANGEROUS FOR

  • THE COUNTRY.

  • >> Jimmy: WHEN YOU ARE -- YOU'RE

  • IN THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE

  • COMMITTEE, YOU RUN THE HOUSE

  • INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.

  • YOU'RE THERE WITH YOUR

  • COLLEAGUES, SOME OF WHOM ARE

  • REPUBLICANS.

  • DO THEY SHARE THIS CONCERN?

  • DO YOU GET ANY SENSE FROM THEM

  • THAT THEY FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS

  • WRONG?

  • >> YOU MEAN LIKE DEVIN NUNES?

  • >> Jimmy: DEVIN NUNES, FOR

  • INS

  • INSTANCE.

  • DEVIN NUNES WHO FOR WHATEVER

  • REASON JUST KIND OF CAME OUT OF

  • NOWHERE AND REALLY HAS DEVOTED

  • HIS LIFE TO PROTECTING DONALD

  • TRUMP, FOR REASONS THAT ARE

  • UNKNOWN TO ME.

  • I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.

  • I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S DUMB, IF

  • HE'S EVIL, IF HE'S SOME

  • COMBINATION OF THE TWO.

  • I'M PRETTY SURE HE'S DUMB.

  • I WON'T SPEAK TO EVIL.

  • BUT WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?

  • >> I DON'T KNOW EXCEPT I WAS

  • THINKING DURING YOUR LAST

  • SEGMENT THAT I NEED A CANDLE

  • THAT SAYS "THIS SMELLS LIKE

  • DEVIN NUNES."

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • HONESTLY, WE USED TO GET ALONG

  • QUITE WELL.

  • BUT LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT GET

  • TOO CLOSE TO DONALD TRUMP, THEY

  • END UP BADLY TAINTED.

  • AND HE'S JUST GONE DOWN A RABBIT

  • HOLE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A

  • GREAT SHAME.

  • AND MORE THAN A SHAME, WHEN HE

  • WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE

  • INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE IT WAS

  • DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS.

  • AND NOW HE'S THE RANKING MEMBER

  • IT'S LESS DANGEROUS BUT

  • NONETHELESS PROBLEMATIC.

  • IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS NUNES WHO

  • MAY HAVE GONE, REPORTEDLY WENT

  • TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO COMPLAIN

  • THAT WE WERE BEING BRIEFED, THE

  • WHOLE COMMITTEE WAS BEING

  • BRIEFED ABOUT THE ONGOING THREAT

  • TO OUR ELECTIONS FROM RUSSIA.

  • AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO GET THE

  • PRESIDENT TO FIRE THE TOP INTEL

  • OFFICIAL AND TO GIVE HIM A NEW

  • DEPUTY, WHICH WAS DEVIN NUNES'S

  • FORMER STAFF.

  • >> Jimmy: IT'S CRAZY.

  • IT IS CRAZY.

  • >> IT'S TOTALLY CRAZY.

  • I NEVER IMAGINED IN MY WILDEST

  • NIGHTMARE THAT ANY OF THIS COULD

  • HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY.

  • AND I THINK IT CALLS ON ALL OF

  • US IN OUR PUBLIC LIFE, OUR

  • PRIVATE LIFE, OUR CIVIC LIFE,

  • OUR CORPORATE LIFE, TO DO

  • EVERYTHING WE CAN RIGHT NOW TO

  • DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY.

  • >> Jimmy: WHAT CAN WE DO TO

  • DEFEND OUR -- OBVIOUSLY THIS

  • PRESIDENT ISN'T -- SOME PEOPLE

  • SUPPORT HIM.

  • I DON'T.

  • BUT OTHER THAN REMOVING HIM FROM

  • OFFICE WHAT CAN WE DO?

  • >> WELL, WE CAN REMOVE HIM FROM

  • OFFICE.

  • I MEAN, THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • THE GOOD NEWS, THE GOOD NEWS IS

  • THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT BUY

  • WHAT HE'S SELLING.

  • THEY DON'T LIKE HIM.

  • A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE

  • NEVER AGREED WITH HIM.

  • IF WE TURN OUT OUR PEOPLE, THOSE

  • PEOPLE THAT ARE DECENT, THAT

  • CHERISH THE VALUES OF THIS

  • COUNTRY, IF WE REGISTER THEM TO

  • VOTE AND WE TURN THEM OUT, HE IS

  • A ONE-TERM NIGHTMARE ONLY.

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • THEY CAN DO EVERYTHING RIGHT AND

  • STILL LOSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T

  • HAVE THE NUMBERS.

  • THE DEMOGRAPHIC THAT SUPPORTS

  • HIM IS AN OLDER AND DYING,

  • LITERALLY DYING DEMOGRAPHIC.

  • MITCH McCONNELL'S WHOLE

  • POLITICAL BUSINESS MODEL IS

  • BUILT ON FEWER PEOPLE VOTING.

  • IT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY STAY IN

  • POWER, IS WITH FEWER PEOPLE

  • VOTING, WHICH IS WHY THEY WORK

  • SO HARD TO DISENFRANCHISE

  • PARTICULARLY MINORITY

  • COMMUNITIES FROM VOTING.

  • SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED

  • TO REGISTER EVERY SINGLE

  • ELIGIBLE VOTER.

  • WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHO THE

  • NOMINEE IS GOING TO BE RIGHT

  • NOW.

  • WE CAN REGISTER PEOPLE RIGHT

  • NOW.

  • AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME IN

  • THE FALL, WE TURN THEM OUT AND

  • WE LOOK BACK ON THIS AS A

  • TERRIBLE GAUNTLET WE WENT

  • THROUGH.

  • AND I THINK FRANKLY ANYONE THAT

  • STOOD BY, STOOD WITH THIS

  • PRESIDENT, LACKED THE KIND OF

  • COURAGE THAT MITT ROMNEY

  • DISPLAYED, WILL BE COVERED WITH

  • SHAME.

  • COVERED WITH SHAME.

  • >> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT.

  • WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A

  • BREAK.

  • WHEN WE COME BACK, A LITTLE MORE

  • CHAT WITH ADAM SCHIFF.

  • WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

  • >>> CAN WE BE CONFIDENT THAT

  • AMERICANS AND NOT FOREIGN POWERS

  • WILL GET TO DECIDE AND THAT THE

  • PRESIDENT WILL SHUN ANY FURTHER

  • FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN OUR

  • DEMOCRATIC AFFAIRS?

  • AND THE SHORT, PLAIN, SAD,

  • INCONTESTABLE ANSWER IS NO, YOU

  • CAN'T.

  • YOU CAN'T TRUST THIS PERSON TO

  • DO THE RIGHT THING, NOT FOR ONE

  • MINUTE, NOT FOR ONE ELECTION,

  • NOT FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY.

  • YOU JUST CAN'T.

  • HE WILL NOT CHANGE.

  • AND YOU KNOW IT.

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • >> Jimmy: THAT IS ADAM SCHIFF,

  • OUR LOCAL CONGRESSMAN.

  • SPEAKING TO THE SENATE.

  • MAKING A CASE FOR THE REMOVAL OF

  • DONALD TRUMP.

  • ONLY AS WE MENTIONED MITT ROMNEY

  • IS THE ONLY REPUBLICAN SENATOR

  • WHO DID THE RIGHT THING, I

  • GUESS.

  • >> YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY I'M

  • IN AWE OF THE COURAGE THAT HE

  • SHOWED.

  • AND --

  • [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

  • >> Jimmy: HE DID.

  • >> HE REALLY DID.

  • THE GAMBLE THE FOUNDERS MADE WAS

  • THAT HUMAN BEINGS POSSESS

  • SUFFICIENT VIRTUE TO GOVERN

  • THEMSELVES, THAT THEY DIDN'T

  • NEED TO BE RULED BY A DESPOT.

  • AND THAT SEEMS QUITE INTUITIVE

  • NOW, BUT AT THE TIME IT WAS

  • UNPRECEDENTED.

  • THEY LITERALLY BET THEIR LIVES

  • AND THEIR SACRED HONOR ON THIS

  • PROPOSITION.

  • AND LISTENING TO MITT ROMNEY,

  • FOR ME VINDICATED THAT FAITH

  • THEY PUT IN HUMAN BEINGS.

  • AND NOT JUST MITT ROMNEY BUT

  • OTHER COURAGEOUS PEOPLE LIKE JOE

  • MANCHIN AND DOUG JONES, THE MANY

  • HOUSE MEMBERS THAT COME FROM

  • DIFFICULT DISTRICTS AND YET

  • VOTED THEIR CONSCIENCE AND THEIR

  • CONSTITUTION.

  • THAT SHOULD GIVE US OPTIMISM

  • ABOUT THE FUTURE.

  • I HOPE AND BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE

  • LOOK BACK ON THIS TIME WE CAN

  • SEE WHAT WE CAN'T SEE BECAUSE

  • WE'RE LIVING THROUGH IT, AND

  • THAT IS THAT WHAT MITT ROMNEY

  • DID WE CAN POINT TO AS THE

  • MOMENT THAT THE FEVER BEGAN TO

  • BREAK.

  • >> Jimmy: I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

  • I DON'T KNOW THAT -- IT SEEMS

  • LIKE WE LOSE FOCUS SO QUICKLY

  • THAT WE'RE JUST RIGHT ON TO THE

  • NEXT THING.

  • AND HE'S -- TRUMP IS ALWAYS UP

  • TO SOMETHING.

  • HAVE YOU MET DONALD TRUMP?

  • HAVE YOU --

  • >> I HAVE.

  • I MET HIM A COUPLE TIMES.

  • THE FIRST TIME IN THE OVAL

  • OFFICE HE CAME AROUND THE DESK

  • TO GREET ME.

  • IT WAS --

  • >> Jimmy: WHEN WAS THIS?

  • >> IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THE DEVIN

  • NUNES MIDNIGHT RUN DEBACLE.

  • AND I WENT OVER TO SEE THE

  • DOCUMENTS.

  • AND HE SENT HIS STAFF OVER

  • SAYING HE WANTED TO SEE ME IN

  • THE OVAL OFFICE.

  • I COULDN'T BRING STAFF WITH ME.

  • WHICH MADE ME NERVOUS FRANKLY.

  • THAT THERE BE NO WITNESS TO WHAT

  • HE WOULD SAY.

  • BUT THE FIRST THING HE SAID, HE

  • CAME AROUND THE DECEMBERING, HE

  • SAID, "YOU KNOW YOU DO A REALLY

  • GOOD JOB."

  • AND WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS THAT YOUR

  • NATURAL IMPULSE IS TO SAY "SO DO

  • YOU."

  • BUT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO

  • SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

  • AND THERE WAS THIS LONG, VERY

  • AWKWARD PAUSE.

  • [ APPLAUSE ]

  • >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHERE YOUR

  • RELATIONSHIP WENT WRONG.

  • YOU GUYS COULD HAVE BEEN OUT

  • THERE GOLFING TOGETHER.

  • >> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST FINE.

  • >> Jimmy: WELL, I JUST WANT TO

  • SAY THANK YOU FOR -- I WATCH YOU

  • AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU

  • DO.

  • IN FACT, I DO WANT YOU TO HAVE

  • THIS SPECIAL GIFT.

  • [ APPLAUSE ]

  • YOU CAN GIVE THAT TO DEVIN IF

  • YOU LIKE.

BOY, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
