0ld vlad on a chopping board there.ne i know would have any... ..any theresa may kitchenware! but, you know, each to their own. hello. we are just outside the food hall. so, we're going to meet makar. he's the leader of a group called set. that's how it translates into english. they call themselves the puteens, because they're young — teenagers — and they love, love, love vladimir putin. so, we're going to go and meet them and see what they think of people like us in the west. makar? will. nice to meet you. shall we get out of the road? set is essentially an arts collective. fashion designers, painters, graphic artists can all come and use it forfree. there's just one condition. so, if we take one recent example — the poisoning in salisbury. you must believe that the uk government has done this to make russia look bad? almost the common—sense way to look at it from my perspective is, with a lot of these things — so, with the salisbury poisoning, with ukraine, with how democratic the elections are — most of the rest of t

black people, putin's been looking at us from across the bar this whole time. ( laughter ) "i see you, vlad ( laughter ) ( applause ) "on horse back with them tiny nipples." ( laughter ) "how did you get that horse in the club?" >> trevor: okay, okay, i get it, but doesn't it bother you that russia only did this to suppress the black vote? >> trevor, you know who else suppresses america's black vote? america. have you been to georgia? they made it impossible for black people to vote. at least putin gave us a choice. plus he has that black accent. he'll be like, "beautiful brown woman. i promise not to kill you. maybe." ( laughter ) i like danger. >> trevor: what you're saying is even though russia interfered in the election and maybe helped trump get elected, you're find with it? >> oh, notice, i'm not saying i'm fine with it. i'm just saying i appreciate the effort. they got to know black americans, our likes, our dislikes, our culture. do you know how hard it must be for russian russians to understd amigos? you have to learn english and then forget it? i mean, that's the kind of work i wa

. >> glor: okay, vlad, thank you very much. coming up next here on the "cbs evening news": the search for a new oscars host after a controversial comedian bows out. treat your cough seriously with robitussin cf max. nothing lasts longer and treats more symptoms for your cough, cold and flu. robitussin. because it's never just a cough. comfortable. get $100 off the garmin fenix 5x plus. now through january 5th. from garmin. now through january 5th. i've always been amazed and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding.

uh, vlad, hate to bring this up, but i keep hearing sounds of screaming and begging at night, and thedo board agreed you can't torture after 11:00 p.m. it's just-- it's just that my kids are trying to sleep and-- i mean-- i don't have kids! i have no loved ones! never mind. please don't annex my apartment!" ( applause ) trump responded to the scandal by saying it's no scandal, tweeting, "oh, i get it! i am a very good developer, happily living my life." okay, that's already three lies right there. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) here we go, jim: ( laughter ) ( applause ) "very cool." i think that's just his way of saying, "i'm not a crook." nixon should have tried that. "i'm very legal. very cool. i'm a way gone cat, daddio." ( cheers and applause ) "i'm a hip daddy." ( applause ) he tweeted on: "talked about it on the campaign trail-- dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot-- lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in russia. put up zero money, zero guarantees, and didn't do the project. witch hunt!" oh, oh, i didn't know that. he just lightly looked at it. "officer, i didn't kil

. >> make vlad great again i say. >> tucker: i'm not against epiphany dips.stion three, this is a multiple choice. rapper kanye west is washington's newest diplomat. he says he wants to arrange a sitdown meeting between donald trump and someone the president has long feuded with, who was that person? is itnana -- >> wait! he didn't finish. >> i didn't know he said multiple choice! >> tucker: it'slt all right. let me get in the multiple choice. hold on, hold on, now! this is why you don't want anchorsch on the show. >> go ahead. >> tucker: okay. the question goes to jeanine pirro first, according to our judges, because mr. gutfeld violated the cardinal rules of the game. >> do you want the answer? >> tucker: robert de niro, colin kaepernick or rosie o'donnell? >> colin kaepernick! >> tucker: do you really think so? let's see. >> i've been calling colin this morning, reaching him so i can bring colin to the white house and we can remove that sons of [bleep] statement and we can be on the same page. >> tucker: you said you thought you would do badly because you

he can't remember if he colludesed with vlad or not but knows cohen has the goods. from that moment they could have made the pivot mike schmidt talks about. not aware of any attacks on sdny. i don't know if he knows the names of the career prosecutors there. but the idea that what could bring him down is his role in directing a criminal conspiracy in a case prosecuted by sdny that sources say they have the evidence, they're confident enough of their evidence to name the president and they haven't spent a minute -- rudy giuliani had no idea what he was going to say. he looks up when he's thinking. they have done nothing to insulate the president, as mike schmidt said, politically, on those cases. >> and the podcast is great. so i want to stress to everyone who is interested in this question, listen to mike schmidt's podcast today on "the daily" because -- >> from one podcaster to another. >> i never thought about this yet, the element of rod rosenstein that comes up in the podcast in which we're tapping into a little bit here about how it really does set up a separat

he didn't need vlad. it looks like his own conspiracy proved he was not clean enough to win all by himself. he had michael cohen and all the indignities that entails, cover up his sexual relationships with women. >> yeah, it does seem like he had a whole -- the times is also reporting about 14 different kinds of contacts and, remember, all the discussion about pardons, et cetera, can't apply to his close circle and family. jared kushner and donald trump jr. who have a particular kind of peril here as well. but i think this notion of synergy amplifies what you're saying because it's, yes, it's also he couldn't be a big boy on the political side, but he was also trying to be his own big boy -- the really ugly aspect of this is the sense that he was trying to run for president for his own profit and to feather his commercial nest and russia and he saw that as a joint project kind of hidden from the american people. that's just going to be a theme going forward that he'll be hard pressed to disavow. >> heathe

he didn't need vlad or the russians. he couldn't win without david pecker covering up his sexual relationships with porn stars and playmates. >> well, right. look, i think the reality is one of the great political puzzles of the 2016 president election was how was the donald trump the most -- the least godly presidential candidate any of us have ever covered in a republican or democratic administration. how he became the darling of the evangelical christian right. anyone who followed donald trump's career who understood the bragadocio, the boastfulness he made for years in the salons of manhattan about the kinds of women he spent time with outside of his marriage thought, my god, this is just one of the great -- one of the great ironies ever. and we also have heard for years that david pecker has a safe. what's in the snaif what's in the safe is not just material related to karen mcdougal or to stormy daniels but related to lots of other women that would have been difficult for him. with david pecker cooperate, not only

. >>> we're going to get an update from vlad's press conference. >> vladimir putin asked about presidentisis has been defeated. quote, donald is right and i agree with him. asked about the decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria putin said it's the right thing to do. >> good god. we move on. but we'll be getting back to this. lawmakers in the house could take up a short term spending bill to keep the government running. that would punt the battle over president trump's battle over the border wall until next year. joining us now adrian elrod. also with us, author of the "washington post" early newsletter "power up" jackie. so starting, i guess, jackie with the border wall discussions, where is this going to end up and how does the president save face? >> despite the roller coaster that we've been on with president trump attempting to take one last stand to get $5 billion in funding for his highly campaigned on border wall along the southern border, it looks like there again is not support in congress to secure this funding. congress embraceed a short t emd a short term funding bill. t
