0:00-Welcome everybody.
0:02Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show."
0:04You're here! That's right!
0:06[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you for watching.
0:09Well, guys, some big political news.
0:11The U.S. and Iran have both confirmed
0:12that they're close to a deal
0:14that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
0:17[ Cheers and applause ]
0:21That's the good news.
0:22The bad news is it's been closed for so long,
0:24it's now called the Spirit Halloween of Hormuz.
0:26-Oh.
0:29-Trump's excited about the deal.
0:31He's about to hang a huge victory banner reading
0:33"Everything is back to how it was before I got involved."
0:35And it's really...
0:37Speaking of the Iran war, it just came out
0:39that during a recent Cabinet meeting,
0:40President Trump lashed out at Pete Hegseth
0:42over the military's missile shortage.
0:45And I guess Hegseth thought we had more missiles
0:47than we actually did.
0:49In Hegseth's defense, when he looks at anything,
0:51he sees double, so, you know...
0:54Meanwhile, today, Trump denied reports
0:55that the U.S. is running low on missiles
0:57and said that leakers of that story are "being hunted down."
1:00[ Laughter ]
1:02Well, we know one thing.
1:04They're not being hunted by missiles.
1:05We don't have 'em.
1:08Right now Trump is dealing with leaks and shortages,
1:11which is actually pretty normal for an 80-year-old man.
1:13I...
1:15[ Laughter ]
1:17♪♪
1:21And did you hear this? Did you hear this?
1:23Trump is building a helipad on the White House lawn.
1:26And after weeks of construction, he said he was unhappy with it,
1:29so workers had to jackhammer the whole thing and start over.
1:33Forget about a ballroom.
1:34Trump can't even build a parking space.
1:36I mean, what's...
1:38Well, the midterms are coming up, and I saw
1:40that North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards just announced
1:43that he won't run for re-election
1:44after an ethics review found that he behaved unprofessionally
1:47and inappropriately while in Congress.
1:49Edwards just put out a statement. Take a look.
1:59[ Laughter ]
2:02Then Congressman Shri Thanedar said...
2:10Then Congresswoman Ann Wagner said...
2:17And Congressman Mike Rogers said...
2:24And Congressman Michael McCaul said...
2:32And Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro said...
2:39And Congressman Chip Roy said...
2:44And Congresswoman Frederica Wilson said...
2:51Then Congressman Glenn Grothman said...
2:57And finally, Congressman Keith Self said...
3:02They just kept misspeaking all the way through.
3:04[ Cheers and applause ]
3:08Well, switching gears, I saw that Barbra Streisand
3:10is releasing her first children's book.
3:12-Ooh. -Yeah. The book has an interesting title.
3:14It's called "Don't Let the Pigeon Make Eye Contact with me."
3:19-Wow!
3:20[ Laughter ]
3:23-Some business news.
3:24After Chipotle stopped selling jalapeños
3:26during the concerns about salmonella,
3:28Qdoba did the same thing.
3:30-Ooh. -Yeah, it makes sense because
3:31Qdoba gets their jalapeños
3:33from the dumpster behind Chipotle.
3:35[ Laughter ]
3:38Meanwhile, following the lettuce parasite outbreak,
3:41Salad and Go has filed for bankruptcy.
3:43-Ohh. -"Salad and Go"
3:46pretty much explains the outbreak, doesn't it?
3:48[ Laughter ]
3:51Well, because of the lettuce parasite outbreak,
3:53more American shoppers are ditching supermarkets
3:55for farmer's markets.
3:57Here with more on this is a real farmer's market vendor
3:59from Riverhead, New York, Ed Washburn.
4:00Welcome to the show, Ed.
4:02-Hey there, Jimmy. Thank you for having me.
4:05-Uh, so you run Ed's Pickles over at the farmer's market.
4:09Is that right? -Sure is, Jimmy.
4:12I make the freshest pickles in the Northeast.
4:15Let me show you one, Jimmy, so you can see that snap.
4:18-[ Chuckles ] Uh, sure.
4:21-Here we go.
4:23[ Grunting ] Here she comes.
4:26[ Grunting ] One sec.
4:30[ Grunting ]
4:34-Ed, Ed, Ed. You good? Ed. Ed.
4:37Are you okay, bud? -Yeah. I'm good. Sorry.
4:39Just sometimes they're a little tough to open.
4:41-Yeah. That's--
4:42-[ Grunting wildly ]
4:44-Uh-- Hey--
4:46-[ Grunting wildly ]
4:48[ grunting ]
4:50-Ed! Ed! Ed! Ed!
4:51Don't hurt yourself there, buddy.
4:54-Gah!
4:55Okay. You're right. Sorry.
4:57I'll stop with the pickles. You know...
4:59[ Panting ]
5:01-[ Laughs ]
5:03I think you passed yourself out there, Ed.
5:05[ Laughter ]
5:07-I sell other stuff.
5:09-You do? Yeah.
5:10-I got salsa so fresh,
5:12you can probably smell it through the TV.
5:13Aaaaaaaaah!
5:15-No, no. Ed. Ed. -Aaaaah!
5:17-Ed, stop! Stop! I don't need to smell it through the TV.
5:19I don't need to smell it through the--
5:21God. You're gonna pass out.
5:22-[ Gasps ] Oh, I love salsa!
5:26[ Laughter ]
5:28-Ed. Ed!
5:30[ Cheers and applause ]
5:32Ed!
5:33-I loosened it. I loosened it!
5:35Alright. Ed Washburn, everybody.
5:36From a farmer's market.
5:39[ Cheers and applause ]
5:44Uh, did you guys see this?
5:46KFC apologized after a customer
5:47posted a video showing that his 50-piece
5:50popcorn chicken bucket only had 35 pieces.
5:53-Ohh. -Yeah.
5:54The customer was like...
5:56[as Trump] "You're being hunted down."
5:58[ Laughter ]
6:00He was missing 15 popcorn nuggets. Yeah.
6:02Meanwhile, his Uber Eats driver was like,
6:05[muffled] "Oh, that's so weird."
6:07[ Laughter ]
6:09"You should sue them!"

8:08-I mean, it tickled me a little bit,
8:10but it also just feels like it's speaking directly to my life,
8:12so I didn't think anyone else would be on board.
8:14-But then did you hear the laughter from the audience
8:16and understand that we're all in the same boat?
