( laughter ) speaking of which -- everybody's saying that russia hacked our election, so, today, senator john mccain held a hearing with the heads of the intelligence community. mccain made it clear the purpose of the hearing was to investigate cyber security, and not to, "question the outcome of the presidential election." yes, nobody's questioning the outcome. just questioning why god lets bad things happen to great nations. what did we do?! we're sorry! we're sorry! ( applause ) reporters asked if mccain has shared his concerns about russia with the president-elect. >> senator mccain, have you determined why the president-elect doesn't share the same concerns about russia as many republicans like yourself on capitol hill? >> no, i don't know. i haven't talked to him. >> stephen: yeah, hasn't caulked to him. mccain's just chairman of the senate armed services committee. trump's talking to the important people, like senator kanye. ( laughter ) >> stephen: and at the hearing today, every head of the u.s. intelligence agencies testified that russia was unequivocally behind the election hack. but instead of u.s. agencies, up till now, trump has been trusting wikileaks founder and middle-aged draco malfoy, julian assange. but this morning trump tried to distance himself from assange, tweeting, "the dishonest media likes saying that i am in agreement with julian assange. wrong. i simply state what he states, it is for the people..." ( deep breath ) "...to make up their own minds as to the truth. the media lies to make it look like i am against 'intelligence' when in fact i am a big fan!" yes, big fan! super fan! super fan! yes, donald trump loves intelligence! and you know what they say, "if you love something, let it go." ( laughter ) that's true leadership. i just type any claim you hear and let people decide what's true: "billy told me if a boy and a girl touch butts, the girl gets pregnant. true? you decide! sad!" ( laughter ) >> jon: oh, oh. >> stephen: not true. that's not true, jon. that's not how it works. you've got to shake hands, too. or do circle dot cootie shot, you're fine. >> jon: i thought it was the stork that comes out. >> stephen: you believe the stork thing? >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: no, they're extinct. >> jon: wow. >> stephen: it's sad. ( laughter ) but where were we? oh, trump. but here's what's also weird about trump's assange tweet. he tweeted the first part of this sentence at 8:25 a.m., but finished the thought 20 minutes later. ( laughter ) how can he have plan for america when he doesn't have a plan for the end of the sentence? mr. trump, it's time to get off twitter and stop being such a whiny mother... i'll finish that word in about twenty minutes. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ♪ but enough about the hacking of our democracy, let's get to the big news. former american idol runner-up, bo bice, says he was called "white boy" at popeye's. that is shocking. the only appropriate time to call someone "white boy" is when you're instructing them to play that funky music. ("play that funky music") ♪ that's as funky as i can get. i can funk one word -- hey! >> jon: yeah! >> stephen: really good song. based on a true story. ( laughter ) apparently, bice was in the atlanta airport waiting for his order at popeye's -- i'm going to say "butterfly shrimp tacklebox"-- when, according to bice, "the three ladies behind the counter asked whose food it was. just when i turned around, one of them said 'that white boy.' if tables had been turned and i used something as insensitive like that, i would be boycotted. people wouldn't buy my albums." and i don't even want to imagine a world where people don't buy bo bice albums. ( laughter ) no! bice is upset, but it's hard to tell. >> and the fact that i've got to sit on tv and come down a notch and look like a petty little brat by tweeting and facebooking this just to open up dialog so we can have an adult conversation is ridiculous -- and america, you should be ashamed. >> stephen: yeah, america. ( laughter ) all of you should be ashamed of what three women working at popeye's did. how dare all of you force bo bice to look like a petty little brat by tweeting and facebooking and going on tv to cry! i mean, what other choice did he have? not be on tv? no! you know what? here's what upsets me most -- you people at popeye's should know his name. that's bo bice. you're at a popeye's. you should call him something fun like "red beans and bice!" or "bo biscuits!" or "the american fry-dol!" now, i am white and i am a boy. i'm about the whitest boy you're ever going to meet. john, have you met anybody whiter than me? >> jon: yeah, i think i know somebody. >> stephen: who? >> jon: a guy i grew up with. >> stephen: what's his name. >> jon: andy. >> stephen: you know andy, that white guy? >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: we meet at the white meeting. yeah, i know andy.
