LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT, T THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BORDER WALL CONTINUES, SEEMINGLY WITH NO END
IN SIGHT.
YESTERDAY, DONALD TRUMP MET WITH DEMOCRATS TO NEGOTIATE TERMS TO
END THE SHUTDOWN, BUT REPORTEDLY STORMED OUT OF THE MEETING,
SLAMMING HIS HANDS ON THE TABLE, AND SAYING, "BYE-BYE."
(
BYE," THERE'S NO REAL INTIMIDATING WAY TO SAY, "BYE-
BYE."
"GOODBYE," FINE.
BUT YOU CAN'T GO, "SCREW YOU!
BYE-BYE...” (
THEN, VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WAS ALSO IN THAT MEETING
YESTERDAY, AND HE DENIES ALL THE REPORTS OF TRUMP'S RUDE, ERRATIC
BEHAVIOR.
IN FACT, PENCE SAID THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING
NICE.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WELL THE PRESIDENT WALKED INTO THE ROOM AND PASSED OUT
CANDY.
IT'S TRUE.
(
THING WHEN THE PERSON DEFENDING YOU USES THE PHRASE, "PASSED OUT
CANDY."
(
HIS VAN.
HE WAS JUST PASSING OUT CANDY."
(
WENT TO TEXAS TO VISIT THE BORDER BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO.
AND IF YOU THINK THAT IT WAS TO GET MEXICO TO FINALLY PAY FOR
HIS WALL, YOU'RE WRONG, BECAUSE HE SAID THIS AS HE WAS LEAVING
ON HIS TRIP.
TAKE A LOOK.
(
IS, "YOU KNOW THAT THING I SAID THOUSANDS OF TIMES?
I NEVER SAID THAT."
YOU KNOW, FOR A MAN WHO'S NOT BIG ON EXERCISE, TRUMP SURE
KNOWS HOW TO BACKPEDAL.
YOU KNOW?
(
TO BE FAIR TO TRUMP, HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE NEVER
SPECIFICALLY SAID MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR THE WALL WITH A SINGLE
ACTUAL CHECK.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, HE'S RIGHT, HE DIDN'T SAY THAT...
ACCORDING TO "THE WASHINGTON POST," HE WROTE IT DOWN WHILE HE
WAS CAMPAIGNING IN A MEMO TITLED, "COMPELLING MEXICO TO
PAY FOR THE WALL," WHICH WAS POSTED TO HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE,
TRUMP WROTE THAT MEXICO WOULD, "MAKE A ONE-TIME PAYMENT OF $5
TO $10 BILLION."
AGAIN, LET'S GIVE TRUMP THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
MAYBE INSTEAD OF A CHECK, HE MEANT VENMO.

MOVING ON, DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS?
FRONTIER AIRLINES IS NOW MAKING HEADLINES AFTER TAKING THE
UNUSUAL STEP OF ASKING PASSENGERS TO START TIPPING
THEIR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS.
YEAH, WHAT INDEED MADAME, EXACTLY.
(
THE MOST VALUABLE TIP THEY'VE RECEIVED SO FAR IS TO GO WORK
FOR ANOTHER AIRLINE.
FRONTIER AIRLINES WANTS YOU TO TIP.
NOT TO BE OUTDONE, SPIRIT AIRLINES WANTS YOU TO KICK IN
FOR GAS MONEY.
(
ATTENDANT?
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE, LIKE, "BRETT, THESE
PEANUTS ARE TO DIE FOR, AND THE WAY YOU POURED A CAN OF GINGER
ALE INTO THIS FLIMSY PLASTIC CUP?
MWAH!" (
AND FINALLY, WE HAD TO SHOW YOU THIS.
A NEWS ANCHOR IN AUSTRALIA WENT VIRAL RECENTLY AFTER VIEWERS
NOTICED SHE WAS WEARING A TOP THAT CREATED THE ILLUSION OF
WELL, SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT IT.
(
YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU'VE SEEN IT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T IT, YOU REALLY
SEE ANYTHING ELSE.
(
HEART ON THEIR SLEEVE, AND SOME PEOPLE WEAR IT DOESN'T MATTER...
NOW, EVERYONE ONLINE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A PENIS.
I DON'T GET IT, ALL I SEE IS AN UPSIDE-DOWN MIKE PENCE.
(
THIS HAS GONE SO VIRAL, EVEN NEWS ANCHORS HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES HAVE JUMPED IN ON THE TREND.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> I'M LESLEY STAHL.
>> I'M BILL WHITAKER.
