The cia concluded this weekend that russia mounted an operation to influence the election, and help donald trump win which was exactly when trump realized he has been pronouncing cia wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, sia. Seth cia . [ laughter and applause ] its not a word. China reportedly flew a Nuclear Bomber over the South China Sea near taiwan in what is being viewed as a show of force against donald trump. But thats not how you get to him china. This is how you get to him. [ laughter and applause ] Senate Minority leader harry reid recently said in an interview that donald trump is not as bad as i thought he would be. Geez buddy, how low were your expectations . [ light laughter ] harry reid is the guy that gets a rat in his bucket at kfc and says well, theyre trying their best. [ light laughter ] it is extra crispy. Hillary clinton gave a speech last week criticizing the epidemic of fake news being spread, or maybe she didnt. [ light laughter ] wisconsin has finished its recount with donald trump beating Hillary Clinton by 162 more votes than his original total. And im not saying that russia had anything to do with that but heres a photo putin from earlier today. [ laughter and applause ] china its a good look. Chinas highest court ruled last week that Michael Jordan owns the rights to his name in chinese characters. I thought that meant bravery, said a girl with a lower back tattoo.

And finally a sex shop in spain is facing criticism after making a nativity scene using ceramic dildos. Though people are mainly upset they took two of the dildos from the menorah. [ light laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. [ cheers and applause ] she is the host and moderator of the talk on cbs, julie chen is with us this evening. [ cheers and applause ] you know her from scream queens on fox, billie lourd is stopping by. [ cheers and applause ] and, she is a New York Times columnist, and best selling author. Her latest book, the year of voting dangerously the derangement of american politics is out now, maureen dowd is stopping by the show. [ cheers and applause ] very excited about this. So on thursday, we made we did a piece, and in the piece i made fun of donald trump for his pronunciation of the word euphemism. Take a look. And then they played my statement and i said carrier will never leave, but that was a euphenism. Seth a euphanism . [ light laughter ] im not sure thats how you promounce that. [ light laughter ] thats right, because if you say a word wrong, im going to come down on you. I am sitting up on high, and i am watching and i am listening. But, what really undercut me, was the very next word i said i mispronounced and that word was also seth a euphanism . Im not sure thats how you promounce that. [ light laughter ] alfo what you said, was not a euphemism. Alfo. [ light laughter ] i take a guy down for getting euphemism wrong, and then i miss the two inch putt that is also. Im such a dickhead. [ applause ] let me clean my monocle, i believe the pronunciation is euphemism. Alfo. [ light laughter ] but, of course donald trump doesnt just mispronounce words. According to a new report, the cia has concluded that the russian government intervened in the 2016 election. Not just to undermine confidence in the result, but specifically to help donald trump win. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ applause ] seth if youre a president elect who has faced persistent questions throughout your campaign about your close ties to a foreign adversary, one easy way to show patriotism, would be to attend the annual armynavy game. Which is what trump did on saturday. But in an interview during the game, he could not suppress his inner twitter troll, offering this snarky comment. I just love the armed forces. Love the folks. Their spirit is so incredible. I mean, i dont know if its necessarily the best football, but its very good. Seth what is wrong with you . [ light laughter ] youre the president elect and youre dissing the armynavy game . I guess he thought it was going to be the actual army against the actual navy. [ light laughter ] this is so boring. No weapons. Hardly any causalities. Not a single sunk battleship. [ light laughter ] of course on any normal weekend that comment might have caused a dust up. But it was overshadowed just slightly by the small matter of the cia accusing a foreign adversary of interfering in a president ial election to help one candidate win. Breaking news tonight, the Washington Post is now reporting that a secret cia report concluded, quote, that russia intervened in the 2016 election to help donald trump win the presidency. The cia believes the russian government tried to help elect donald trump. Releasing hacked Democratic Campaign emails. The top intelligence official tells abc that both democrats and republicans were targeted. But that only hack from the dnc was made public. Seth so, they only released the democrats emails not the republicans. Although to be fair, what could possibly be in the republican emails that was more embarrassing than what their candidate was saying out loud in public . [ light laughter ] donald trump is a hacked email come to life. Did you hear . Donald trump made fun of the disabled. In a private email . No, into a microphone in an arena. [ laughter and applause ] now the Republican National committee claims it was not hacked so there is some dispute about that. Still you might expect an incoming president to take seriously the findings of the intelligence agencies that hell need to rely on as president. Instead trumps team slammed the cia in a statement that i think is fair to assume, came directly from him. These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of massive destruction. The election ended a long time ago in one of the Biggest Electoral College victories in history. Its now time to move on, and make America Great again. First of all it was not one of the Biggest Electoral College victories in history. It actually ranks 46th out of 58 president ial elections. To put that in sunday cable tv rating terms, trumps is not the walking dead, hes the barefoot contessa. [ light laughter ] second, what do you mean the election ended a long time ago . You mean five weeks ago . Put it this way, the cubs world series win was recent, their previous world series win was a long time ago. [ laughter and applause ] of course this isnt this is not the first time trump has openly rejected the findings of the intelligence community. Both during, and after the campaign, he has repeatedly sought to downplay the possible role of russia in the hacks. Suggesting alternate theories for who might have been behind them. I mean, it could be russia. But it could also be china. It could also be lots of other people, it also could be somebody sitting on their bed, that weighs 400 pounds, okay . On tuesday he told time magazine, that quote, i dont believe they interfered. It could be russia, it could be china, and it could be some guy at his home in new jersey. Seth a 400 pound guy at his home in new jersey . Is he actively trying to frame Chris Christie . [ laughter and applause ] [ as trump ] it was a big guy from new jersey. He may or may not be standing right behind me. [ light laughter ] now, its always important to take anonymous claims from intelligence officials with a giant grain of salt. Thats why we need a full investigation, and all the evidence public. But even before that happens, trump has repeatedly rejected the intelligence communitys findings, despite being told in his own Intelligence Briefings that russia very likely committed the dnc hack. And not only has trump refused to believe the information presented to him in his briefings, hes not even taking those briefings that often. Cnn reported that trump is taking Intelligence Briefings only once a week. Trump defended himself on an interview on fox news sunday. You are getting the president ial daily brief only once a week. Well i get it when i need it. But, is there some skepticism . First of all these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And i say, if something should change from this point, immediately call me im available on one minutes notice. I dont have to be told, you know im like, a smart person. Seth heres the thing about smart people. They dont go around telling people theyre smart. For instance youve never heard this. Im like, a smart person. [ light laughter ] seth also im like, a smart person is a sentence that disproves itself. Its like getting a back tattoo that says, i make good decisions. [ light laughter ] still to be fair to trump the president elect does have a busy schedule and im sure hes spending his time on things way more important than daily Intelligence Briefings. Who wants a hat . [ cheers ] seth so hes not taking Intelligence Briefings, but he is giving away free hats. Hey, man, youre the president elect and not the phoenix suns gorilla. [ light laughter ] again, skepticism of anonymous claims from intelligence officials can be healthy, which is why we need a full investigation and the results need to be made public. Because right now trump, his spokespeople in the media, cant even agree on basic facts. Which at the very least has given us some fantastic new entries on a hit album now thats what i call white guys screaming at each other on the news. We have been working with the fbi. Why . We have Intelligence Experts here. Let me ask you. Go ahead. No, hang on, chuck. Do you categorically rule number one, cover that. My question about the rnc. Tell me a specific im not trying to parse it. I dont know who did the hacking, chuck. President elect trump is saying, move on, folks. Theres nothing to see here but i need to ask you an additional question. No. Speak to the point that wait, wait. Thats not true michael. I want you to address this. I dont think any foreign entity, any individual, any entity well why dont you say that . And why didnt trump say that. Im saying it, michael i just said it [ laughter ] im just an american whos trying to discern all that im reporting on no then answer the question, michael seth answer the question, michael no, you answer the question. What was the question . I dont remember [ light laughter ] what the question was. Of course, trump could easily reassure critics whos saying hes too close to russia, by denouncing russian influence in the election. But as he has repeatedly made clear he has a bizarre affection for vladimir putin, and his apparent choice for secretary of state isnt helping. Over the weekend, it was reported that trump had settled on exxon mobil ceo rex tillerson. Of course, with a name like rex tillerson, you can only be one of two things. Ceo of a Multinational Oil conglomerate, or A Jack Russell terrier who solves crimes. [ light laughter ] [ bark ] whats that rex . [ bark ] there was a Lunar Eclipse that night . The mayors lying. [ light laughter ] trump tweeted about the possible nomination on sunday quote, whether i choose him or not for state rex tillerson, the chairman and ceo of exxon mobil, is a world class player and deal maker stay tuned. Stop telling us to stay tuned. Your president elect for the next four years. Like it or not, were all [ bleep ] tuned. [ laughter and applause ] youre going to be the first president , who has commercial breaks in his state of the union. [ as trump ] and well have more on the heightening tensions with china, right after this message, from our sponsor, ivanka, trump hotels. [ light laughter ] i have no connection to them. Now, tillersons nomination would be problematic for a number reasons. Among them the fact that our Foreign Policy could be, in effect, run by exxon mobile, a company that has been accused of covering up evidence of climate change. But, on top of that, tillerson, has close ties to putin. Who gave tillerson, the russian order of friendship medal in 2013 even republicans have expressed concerns about tillersons ties to russia. Like senator Lindsey Graham, who promised to question tillerson at his confirmation hearing. Senator Lindsey Graham told the Washington Post, i dont know the man much at all, but lets put it this way, if you received an award from the kremlin, order of friendship, then were going to have some talking. Seth thats right, sassafras. You better park your biscuits in that chair because were going to have some southern fried talking. [ light laughter ] were about to enter a potentially dangerous period. A president with a weird affinity for authoritarians and dictators appointing plutocrats to his cabinet and fighting with americas own intelligence agencies. I dont see how trump can get away with all of this. Unless he finds a way to distract us all for the next four years. Who wants a hat . [ light laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with julie chen, everybody. Come on why doesnt verizon offer unlimited data like tmobile . Is it because their lte network was built six years ago . Six years ago . Thats like a hundred. In phone years their lte network is older, slower and they limit you. Switch to tmobile, the newer, faster and unlimited network. We cover 99 of the americans verizon covers. Switch your family of four to tmobile and well give you 800 to spend anywhere you want. Just how wet and sticky your current gel antiperspirant is. Now were going to show you how degree dry spray is different. Degree dry spray. Degree. It wont let you down. [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back to late night everybody. Please give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] also, were joined this week by an iconic drummer sitting in with the 8g band. Hes a two time grammy winner and cofounder of metal icon slayer and currently a member of suicidal tendencies whos album world gone mad is out now. Dave lombardo is here everybody. [ cheers and applause ] thank you so much for being here dave. Thank you, seth. Seth and incredibly good timing for an album called world gone mad. Our first guest cohosts the Emmy Award Winning show the talk which airs weekdays at 2 00 p. M. Please welcome to the show julie chen everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth hi there. Thanks for having me. This feels very strange. Seth oh, why is it strange . Well because ive spent most of my career, if not all of it, at cbs. Seth yeah. And this is obviously on the competing network. Seth there you go and guess what . This whole things a trap. [ laughter ] im ready for you. Seth its a trap. I feel like, and im used to interviewing people. Seth yeah. And not being the one interviewed. So i feel like id be more like my heart is racing. Seth really . And i do Live Television every day. I feel like, i would be more comfortable if you switched seats with me. Seth do you want to switch seats . Yeah, but the lighting directors gonna get mad. Because you look so good, and theyll be like, no, why did you let her switch seats . Seth well look, if at any point you do want to switch seats, okay great. No, thats your seat. Seth because, this is my best light. When i switch i look like a 100yearold woman. Yeah. Im sure you dont. Seth its true, it like theres a lot that has to go right for this to happen. Yeah. Seth speaking of something that would have had my heart beating you have been the host of big brother for 16 seasons. Its been on 18. Seth 18 seasons. Thats unbelievable. Yeah. Seth congratulations. Thank you and renewed for next summer, our 19th. Oh, congratulations, its 19. Yeah. Seth i hope you make 20. It would be a real bummer if you got cancelled after 19. Wouldnt it . I know seth because youd really dont take this the wrong way. Youd have to stink for them not to give you 20. I know. Seth to get that close, and then say like, you were not gonna do it. You were good for 19, but things went sour. Yeah, no. Gosh, i hope im getting it right. Seth i think well i hope so too. But you had to maybe your Research Department is better. Seth i dont know. Sorry, go ahead. Seth probably not. You this summer you had people sort of cut themselves off from the world and from the news in september. And you actually had to be the one to told them the election results. Yes. Seth and that is not usually something that you do with the show. To break in with news. Right, the main rule is, in the big brother house, youre completely cutoff from the outside world. Seth right. And youre living among strangers. There were only six people left in the big brother house when the election happened and we broke the big rule. We said they, the producers, came to me and they said, we want you to reveal the results of the election. Because they wanted conversation, they want to see the reaction. Seth of course. So literally and i tape on thursdays. So they were probably, literally the last six people. Seth yeah. In the entire universe to know seth exactly. Who won the president ial election of the united states. Seth was it so was it nice just to look at their faces before you told them and say, this is the last fresh snow in society before i tromp through it. I did feel like, ooh, i cant wait. Seth now heres my question. If the election had gone the other way you probably would not have broken in and told them. Actually, i think we probably would have just because were always looking for story seth sure. And content, you know, and it would be interesting to see everyones reaction. Whether they were rejoicing, or but i noticed when i told them about trump, not only were they shocked. But the smarter house guests stayed quiet be
