In this special EXTENDED podcast cut of tonight's monologue, Republicans prepared to shut down the government while Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth threw out the rule book in his speech to a gathering of America’s military leadership. At that same event, top officials also heard from President Trump in a low-energy speech where he threatened to use the Armed Forces against U.S. citizens and lamented not being able to use the “n-word.” Next, Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo pop up with a bottle of tequila and join Stephen Colbert in a toast to their good luck as late night talk show hosts who love their jobs and the people they work with. Watch “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” weeknights on ABC.
