Trump visit to the Capitol Rotunda to pay his respects to George H.W. Bush with Melania - Duration: 21:32.

Trump visit to the Capitol Rotunda to pay his respects to George H.W. Bush with Melania

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made an unannounced visit Monday evening to the Capitol Rotunda where the casket of former President George H.W. Bush lies in state.

The couple entered the rotunda and held hands as they quietly approached Bush's coffin draped in the American flag. A solemn-looking president saluted Bush's remains while the first lady pressed her right hand over her heart.

They left about a minute later - as silently as they arrived.

U.S. Capitol Police cleared the rotunda of visitors before the first couple arrived. The doors to the rotunda had opened about 45 minutes earlier for members of the public to come pay their respects.

But the room was virtually empty when the first couple entered and eerily silent. It was dark outside but the Dome was lit up as the building will be open to public viewing through out the night and through Wednesday morning.

Only the click, click of cameras greeted the president and first lady, who were not escorted by Congressional leaders. The Senate Sergeant at Arms and House Sergeant Arms brought them into the room.

They were solemn in their approach - the first lady in a black coat and black high-heeled boots; the president in a dark overcoat and red tie.

Neither of them said anything and, within five minutes of their departure, the rotunda had been reopened to the public. Well-wishers poured into the room to pay their own respects to the 41st president.

The President and first lady will attend Bush's memorial service at Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday despite the years-long tension between Trump and the Bush dynasty.

But Trump, the sitting president, will not deliver a eulogy for the former occupant of the Oval Office. The Trumps visited hours after his Vice President, Mike Pence, delivered a stirring tribute to the 41st President.

Trump and his wife were not present for the procession where Pence, a former congressman, represented the current White House. The sitting president ordered flags to fly at half-staff at the White House and declared Wednesday a national day of mourning.

He was expected to visit privately with the Bush family at Blair House, located across the street from the presidential office and residence on Pennsylvania Avenue, and to attend funeral services in Washington for the late president.

Trump has bad blood with the Bush family and did not attend the late first lady Barbara Bush's funeral in April. His wife Melania was photographed with every living president, including George H.W. Bush, in her husband's absence.

The Bushes also have little affection for Trump after he belittled Jeb Bush relentlessly during the 2016 race for the Republican nomination.

Both Trumps will go to the National Cathedral on Wednesday the White House has confirmed, where the late president will be honored in remarks by his ex-president son, George W. Bush, and not by Donald Trump.

In the 2016 campaign, the businessman harangued Bush's elder son for the Iraq War and called his younger son 'low-energy' as they traded barbs.

The former Republican president subsequently referred to Trump as a 'blowhard' and revealed after the election that he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Three months before his death, after he was no longer signing autographs, Bush made an exception for a marine aviator who was about to be awarded his golden wings after graduating from flight school, Pence revealed on Monday during a ceremony honoring the late U.S.

president. That young aviator was Marine 1st Lt. Michael Pence, the VP's son, who had landed his first tailhook earlier that summer on the U.S.S. Bush.

'Congratulations on receiving your wings of gold, I know how proud you and your family are at this moment,' a letter from the 94-year-old president said, according to the elder Pence.

'Though we have not met I share the pride your father has for you during this momentous occasion, and I wish you many CAVU days ahead. All the best, G Bush.'.

The acronym CAVU stands for 'ceiling and visibility unlimited' and has been used by naval pilots since WWII, Pence explained at a service for Bush in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington.

Bush told his children before his death that the term 'describes my own life as it has been over the years and as it is right now, ceiling and visibility unlimited.

'Now that may well describe the essence of this man, and it may well have been his vision,' Pence said as he paid homage to the late president on behalf of the current administration.

'The vision he had for his life, for his children, his children's children and his country — no barriers, no boundaries, no limits.'.

Pence said that Bush shared the same message with his own son in the letter that was dated August of this year and arrived in time for his son's winging in September after he wrote the former president asking for his autograph.

'I took the liberty of writing the ship's namesake to ask for a small favor.

I didn't write him as a cice president to a former president, I just write as a proud dad of a marine aviator to a former navy pilot,' Pence explained.

'I asked him to sign a picture of the flight deck that I could give to my son.'.

The vice president said that he was told by Bush's staff that the former president had long since ended the practice. 'And we understood that,' Pence said in his eulogy.

'But little to my surprise, just in time for my sons winging, there came not only a signed photograph but of course a letter, hand-signed as well August 2018,' said Pence, a former congressman from Indiana. The remains of the late U.S.

president arrived to lie in state late Monday afternoon as family members, senators, congressmen, cabinet secretaries, members of the Supreme Court, and distinguished guests, gathered in the Capitol Rotunda to honor the 41st President of the United State.

'We mourn with those who mourn and grieve with those who grieve.

But we do not grieve like those who have no hope, for President George Herbert Walker Bush had that hope,' Pence said of the faith that he said 'sustained' the later president.

'And we pray that faith will be a source of comfort, for all those who mourn the loss of this good man and great American.'.

Pence said: 'President George Herbert Walker Bush loved his family and he served his country. His example will always inspire and his lifetime of service will be enshrined in the hearts of the American people forever.'.

On Wednesday, the former first lady and her husband Bill announced Monday that they would attend Bush's funeral in Washington but not the second service this week in Houston as Bush's flag-draped coffin was laid to rest on the catafalque built to rest the remains of Abraham Lincoln beneath the Capitol's Dome to lie in state until Wednesday morning.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell noted Bush made a similar journey to the Capitol 30 years ago, when came to be inaugurated as the 41st president of the United States.

McConnell recalled Bush's words from his inaugural address: 'He said we met on democracy's front porch – a good place to talk as neighbors, a good place to talk as neighbors and friends.

'Today this hero has returned to the Capitol a final time not on the front porch of democracy this time but here in its hallowed cathedral,' he said.

Bush's remains arrived at the U.S. Capitol on Monday after a 1,200-mile flight from Houston and a dramatic motorcade that grabbed the nation's attention with flashing lights and pealing sirens.

A military band played 'Hail to the Chief' and a four-cannon salute rang out as the sun was setting over the Capitol on an unseasonably warm December afternoon.

The afternoon pallbearers, military men all, hoisted the casket up the formidable Capitol steps in cadence, making their way up the marble stone staircase.

As 'A Mighty Fortress is Our God' echoed off the pavement, the setting sun seemed to bore into George W. Bush, the late president's eldest son who also shared his office.

The younger George stared ahead stoically as his father's coffin and its flag drapery passed. Members of the Bush family joined him atop the Capitol to watch their elder statesman's remains arrive to lie in state beneath its dome.

Shadows of men and women in military dress uniforms lengthened. Ceremonial honor guardsmen's sabers glinted in the late light. And with 55-degree temperatures holding on a December day, America began to say its goodbyes.

Inside, a list of dignitaries awaited just the ninth U.S. president to lie in state there.

Colin Powell, the late President Bush's secretary of state, and James Baker, his lifelong friend who served him for decades in his political campaigns, at the White House, and across the globe.

Bush died Friday at the age of 94. He will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda until Wednesday morning, when the week's series of somber events continues with a memorial service at the National Cathedral.

Former White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell were also on hand to honor Bush, along with Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday.

The arrival ceremony on the Capitol plaza involved breathtaking views of a silent sunset that shone off the Supreme Court and Library of Congress, reflecting the sadness of a nation that senses the uncertainty of a page turning.

Bush's casket reached an airbase near Washington aboard the plane that he and his son George W. Bush both used as Air Force One.

The elder Bush spent four years in Congress, one at the helm of the CIA, eight as vice president and four in the White House.

'Special Air Mission 41' – the aircraft known as Air Force One when living presidents are aboard – touched down just before 3:30 p.m. at Joint Base Andrews, where a Cadillac hearse flying the U.S.

flag and bearing the Seal of the President of the United States waited on an expansive tarmac.

Along with a military band and honor guards arrayed like parade-ground marchers without a commander to review them, a contingent of 114 crew members of the USS George H.W. Bush stood at attention while the jumbo jetliner touched down and taxied.

Aboard the plane with the former president's remains were his sons George W. and Neil and their families. Bush was America's 43rd president. Former first lady Laura Bush also made the trip from Houston.

So, too, did Sully, the late president's service dog. Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2016, joined the extended family along with his wife Columba, on the tarmac.

Family and former staffers attended a brief departure ceremony Monday at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base, a Texas Air National Guard base, watching as a contingent of eight soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines took Bush's flag-draped casket to the Boeing 747 for a last trip to Washington.

At Ellington and at Joint Base Andrews in D. 's Maryland suburbs, 21-gun salutes boomed and military bands played 'Hail to the Chief.

At JBA, they also played 'America' as a color guard hoisting a yellow-fringed U.S. flag advanced in front of the pallbearers in a somber scene Americans see only a few times each generation.

Bush's casket on Monday occupied part of one cabin onboard whose seats were removed from the plane by a flight crew after Trump's return Sunday from the G20 summit in Argentina.

Specialized scissor-lift trucks at both airfields delivered and retrieved the casket with only stiff-blowing breezes as soundtracks.

'Bush 43' and Laura, the former first lady, climbed the plane's stairs in Houston and gave a somber wave, followed by the rest of of the extended family.

A few minutes later 'Poppy,' as the grandchildren of the man who was once the U.S. military's youngest fighter pilot called him, was airborne. In Washington, the centerpiece of the week's remembrances will be a memorial service at the National Cathedral.

Sitting presidents have delivered eulogies at the last three presidential funerals. Bush eulogized Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Bill Clinton spoke at Richard Nixon's funeral.

Secret Service agents had carried the president's body out of the George H. Lewis Funeral Home in Houston, placing it in a hearse for a motorcade-drive to Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base, where the world's most famous aircraft awaited.

As the procession took up the southbound lanes of Interstate 45, motorists driving along the northbound lanes pulled over in a miles-long show of respect.

The departure ceremony featured a 21-gun salute and a U.S. Army Band contingent from Fort Sill, Oklahoma playing 'Hail to the Chief,' plus the four 'Ruffles and Flourishes' trumpet fanfares that precede it.

The late 41st president's son Neil also accompanied his body on the unique Boeing 747, renamed 'Special Air Mission 41' for the flight, as it travels to Joint Base Andrews in the Maryland suburbs of Washington.

Sully will be reassigned to a wounded warrior at Walter Reed Naval Medical Center near Washington. The dog was photographed lying in front of Bush's casket at the funeral home on Monday.

The pair of planes that serve as President Trump's 'Air Force One' jets were first placed into service during George H.W. Bush's time in office. They are scheduled to be retired in 2021.

Trump Admin BANS 2 Million Federal Workers From Discussing Impeachment At Work - Duration: 3:10.

Last wednesday, nearly 2 million federal employees received a memo that actually came as quite

a shock.

That memo told those 2 million federal employees they were not allowed to discuss the possibility

of Donald Trump's impeachment.

While at work, the federal government, the Trump administration, sent out a memo to 2

million federal workers restricting their free speech, telling them that they can't

basically talk about a worst case scenario for President Donald Trump.

They also told them that they can't use the word resist, you know, like the Hashtag resist

the anti-Trump movement there.

Um, this is full blown fascist dictatorship in the United States today.

We're literally telling federal workers what they can and cannot say while they're at work.

We're dictating their speech for them.

And now here's the thing, the administration is claiming that because Donald Trump is running

for president again, if you're out there talking about these kinds of things, then that would

be a violation of the hatch act.

You know, because you're sitting there advocating for or against a politician.

Um, unfortunately, that's not actually what the Hatch Act covers.

What the hatchet covers is if you're using your official position as your megaphone to

go out there and advocate for or against a politician political party or an issue, you

cannot do that, but if you're sitting in your cubicle at work and you lean over and you

say, Hey, have you seen the news of the day?

It looks like Donald Trump may be impeached.

That's not political speech.

That's just speech that's not advocating for or against a particular politician that's

talking about the news of the day, but to this administration that is a threat and that

is a danger and they're going to put an end to it.

Now according to the memo, it's actually illegal.

They're saying it's illegal for federal employees to engage in these kinds of discussions while

at work, but to me it's not just.

You're not allowed to talk about impeachment because that's illegal and God knows what

we're going to do to you.

If we find out you are not being able to use the word resist, that's what takes this to

the next level.

That's what puts this into full blown.

It's not about the hatch act.

It's not about anything else.

This is fully about Trump getting pissed off, getting scared, being cornered right now,

seeing the walls closing in on him and wanting to lash out at somebody, and unfortunately

it is those 2 million federal employees who are going to pay the price for this.

Hopefully we're not going to see stories start emerging.

We're federal employees are fired for mentioning Donald Trump's impeachment, but if we do see

those stories, I hope those federal workers understand that they have a pretty much slam

dunk case against the federal government for wrongful termination and violation of their

freedom of speech.

Michael Douglas Played Golf with President Trump - Duration: 3:48.

-You were also in a fantastic film, "American President."

-Yeah. -And that, indirectly --

[ Cheers and applause ] A wonderful -- a great movie.

-Thank you.

-I guess that indirectly, or even directly,

led to you meeting President Clinton at the time.

-Right. -How did that go?

What was your first meeting with him like?

-Well, it was -- it was -- that was pretty cool.

Because in the movie, remember,

there's a scene at the White House

where I'm having a dinner

for the French President in the movie,

and I meet Annette Bening and sort of fall in love.

About six or seven months after the picture is over,

I get an invitation to go to the White House

for a dinner with President Chirac of France.

And I thought, "Well, these guys are pretty cool."

And they come up, and before you go in for the formal dinner,

there's a reception line with President Clinton, Mrs. Clinton,

and President Chirac and his wife.

And as I walk up to the line, he says to me,

"You know, Michael, I've always wanted to do this."

And he's standing there and I'm walking up.

He says, "Here." He says, "Michael,

you come up here and you stand next to President Chirac."

And then he got in line, and President Clinton walked up,

and he said, "Hello, Mr. President," you know.

[ Laughter ] And it was one --

[ Applause ] And I got a series of pictures.

And it's the coolest thing.

I have a series of these pictures from it.

You know, it was one of the great moments about

"There's no business like show business."

-There's no business like show business.

You -- before he was the president, you had --

you got to golf with President Trump.

-I did. -Multiple times?

-Yeah. I played with him two or three times.

He's a serious golfer. He's got golf --

-What was he -- what was his attitude like on the course?

Was he a fun -- -He's charm-- No, he's charming.

He's always -- He was really fun.

Look, I really assumed, you know,

once he got in there -- surprised as we all were --

that he was going to kind of move to the center,

after he had this one Trump group in his pocket.

But that was not the case.

-No, didn't really happen. -But I do remember --

What I remember playing with him

is that I made about a 60-foot putt,

the longest putt I've ever made in my life

when I was playing with Donald Trump.

So I haven't seen him much since,

but I know he always remembers it.

-Well... [ Laughter ]

I would assume that if you make a 60-foot putt against him,

you don't get invited back. [ Laughter ]

Do you remember your first --

Obviously you have this long acting career.

Do you remember your first job? What was your first role?

-My first acting job? -Yeah.

-Well, my first acting job, my father was doing a picture

called "Cast a Giant Shadow" in Israel,

true story about Mickey Marcus.

And I was just a gofer, an assistant working there.

And they had a situation where they had to drive a Jeep up --

somebody then was having trouble.

This was back in early '60s,

and there weren't even that many cars in Israel.

-Mm-hmm.

-So, Dad asked me to jump in there

and put on an Israeli uniform and just drive the car up

and hit my mark -- you know, a little rock and all that.

Got it done. -You did it?

-I did it. I did it right --

-See, that strikes me like a lot of pressure.

-It was. It was.

You got the old man there, you know, watching you.

"Come on, son. Come on, son."

[ Laughter ]

-And he came to set on "The Kominsky Method."

He came by -- -He did. He came on by.

It was a, you know, a little much,

everybody getting on their knees and bowing.

You know, the whole thing. -Well, I can only imagine,

when he shows up. -But it was great.

He's fantastic, and I recently had this

Hollywood Walk of Fame award,

and to see him sitting down there, you know,

watching him, thinking --

I know he's thinking to himself, "I have no son

who's been in this business for 50 years."

-Yeah, it is something else. -He's doing great.

I'm very proud of him.

-Well, congratulations on the show.

Please give your father all of our best.

-Thank you, Seth. -And a happy birthday.

And it's always so great to see you. Thank you so much.

-Good to see you. Thank you so much.

Russia Probe Clouds Trump's G20 Summit: A Closer Look - Duration: 8:41.

-President Trump freaked out about the Russia investigation

this morning after returning

from a very awkward international summit.

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Trump was at the G20 summit in Argentina over the weekend

as he faced his most serious legal threat yet

from the Russia investigation,

which right off the bat has to be weird.

Every time Trump goes to one of these international summits,

he's under a cloud of suspicion.

He's like a guy who goes on a date

and tries to ignore the fact

that his ankle bracelet is beeping like crazy.

[ Laughter ]

[ As Trump ] What? No. That's just like a Fitbit.

That noise means -- it just means I got my steps in."

[ Normal voice ] And from day one,

the constant and increasingly damning revelations

from the Russia investigation have made Trump's relationships

with other world leaders super awkward.

For example, in Bob Woodward's book "Fear,"

Woodward describes Trump calling his Egyptian counterpart

and President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,

saying, "Donald, I'm worried about this investigation.

Are you going to be around?"

Trump said it was like a kick in the nuts.

Although in fairness,

Trump always looks like he just got kicked in the nuts.

[ Laughter and applause ] Right?

And... [ Cheers and applause ]

...look at the way he stands.

The way he stands looks like a freeze frame

from "America's Funniest Home Videos."

He looks like a dad

who was standing on the wrong end of a seesaw.

[ Laughter ]

And you could see how lonely Trump was

throughout the G20 summit. On Friday, for example,

world leaders gathered for the traditional group photo.

And after the photo was done,

Trump just sort of milled around by himself for a while.

[ Laughter ] Look at him.

[ Laughter ]

He looks like he's at a house party

and the only other person he knows is in the bathroom.

Surprised he didn't do that move

where you pretend to respond to texts,

but in reality, you're just playing Words With Friends.

[ Laughter ]

Trump is desperate.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Trump is desperate to socialize at these things,

but he's so bad at it. For example, he signed

a new trade deal with Mexico's president

and Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau,

who he's repeatedly attacked.

Trump tried to claim the dispute had made them better friends,

but Trudeau didn't seem to agree.

-I'm honored to be here with President Enrique Peña Nieto --

become a great friend -- of Mexico

and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,

who has also become a great friend.

It's been a battle,

and battles sometimes make great friendships.

So it's really terrific.

-Look at his face. [ Laughter ]

Absolutely nothing. [ Laughter ]

That face is the closest thing Canada has to a middle finger.

[ Laughter ]

In fact, on Canadian television --

on Canadian TV, that face is considered so obscene,

it has to be blurred out. [ Laughter ]

And even when someone does want to be friendly with Trump,

he messes it up. For example, he was supposed to

take a photo with the president of Argentina.

But watch as Trump walks away from the shoot early

and is caught muttering off camera on a hot mic

while the president of Argentina

stands there awkwardly by himself.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

-Get me out of here.

-That's right.

Trump was caught on a hot mic, saying, "Get me out of here."

First of all, we're trying. Second, why?

Why can't...

[ Cheers and applause ]

Why can't you stand still for like 10 seconds?

I've had better luck getting my dog

to take a Christmas photo in her Santa hat.

[ Laughter ]

Is there a more exhausting job

than a man who has to chase President Trump?

[ Laughter ] "Go get him, Gary."

"Uh..."

The only person Trump ever seems truly comfortable with is

at these summits is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

So Trump must have been super Bummed

when he was forced to cancel his meeting with Putin

after his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitted

in a plea deal that he lied about plans

to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 campaign.

Although when he was asked about the meeting with Putin,

Trump insisted that he canceled it

not because of the guilty plea

but because of a naval skirmish between Russia and Ukraine.

And as usual, Trump made clear

that he definitely knows the specific details

of what happened in that naval skirmish.

-You know, frankly, in light of what happened with Ukraine,

with the ships and the sailors,

it just wouldn't be the right time.

We can't allow certain things to happen.

And you know, it happened.

-Okay, so, he has no idea what happened.

All he knows is it had something to do with ships and sailors.

This is what I think went down.

The National Security Advisor briefed Trump and told him,

"Okay, Mr. President, all you have to do is

tell the press that the United States

is protesting the seizure of Ukrainian naval personnel

by Russian forces in the Black Sea

in violation of international law."

And then Trump just, like, stared at him for 30 seconds,

and the National Security Adviser

said, "Just say Russians seized Ukrainian naval personnel."

And then Trump stared at him for another 30 seconds.

And then he said, "You know what?

just say it's about ships and sailors."

[ Laughter and applause ]

The revelation that Trump was pursuing a business deal

with Putin in the summer of 2016 during the presidential campaign

is probably the most damning development

in the investigation so far.

It makes clear that not only have Trump

and his closest associates lied repeatedly,

both to the American people and to Congress,

but also that Special Counsel Robert Mueller knows they lied

and he can prove they lied. And now Trump is freaking out,

unleashing an angry tirade this morning on Twitter.

-The President wrote this.

"Michael Cohen asked judge for no prison time.

You mean he can do all of

the terrible, 'unrelated to Trump' things

having to do with fraud, big loans, taxis, et cetera,

and not serve a long prison term?

He makes up stories to get

a great and already reduced deal for himself

and get his wife and father-in-Law,

who have the money, off scot-free.

He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion,

serve a full and complete sentence.

'I will never testify against Trump.'

This statement was recently made by Roger Stone,

essentially stating that he will not be forced

by a rogue and out-of-control prosecutor

to make up lies and stories about President Trump.

Nice to know that some people still have guts."

-Damn. There are only two explanations here.

Either he got more bad legal news this morning

or someone kicked him in the nuts again.

[ Laughter ] Also, I have a few questions.

First of all, you know "scot-free"

is spelled with one "T," right? It's not a person's name.

Trump probably thinks Scott Free

was the first person to get way with a crime.

[ Laughter ] -[ As Trump ] in the 1700s,

a guy named Scott Free --

he stole a donkey and he got away with it.

[ Laughter ]

And that's why we still use his name today.

[ Laughter ] Because of the donkey.

[ Normal voice ] Second,

why does he put his own name in quotation marks?

I swear, it's almost like even he knows

he's not really the President.

He could have saved us all a lot of time

if he had just tweeted this.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ] In order --

In order to believe that Trump did nothing wrong,

you'd have to believe that he and his closest associates

have been lying for three years, including to Congress,

under penalty of perjury because they're innocent.

Just think about how many times their story has changed.

First, they said

there were no contacts with any Russians, period.

Then, they said that even if they did try to collude,

nothing came of it.

Then, they said collusion is not a crime.

And now Trump's defenders are reduced to insisting

that he wasn't personally involved in the hacking himself.

-Robert Mueller and his team of partisans

have no evidence, not a whiff of collusion

involving Trump and the Russians.

A Trump Tower meeting -- perfectly legal.

The hacking -- that's absurd.

Trump wasn't involved in that.

-Of course he wasn't.

Trump couldn't hack into a computer

even if the password was "Melania."

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Trump's ex-lawyer lied to Congress

about a business deal with the Russian government,

and he told investigators he lied because Trump lied,

and Mueller can prove it.

Every new legal filing from Mueller makes clear

that he knows what really happened.

And when Mueller's done with him,

I have a feeling Trump will be saying...

-Get me out of here.

-This has been "A Closer Look."

[ Cheers and applause ]

President Trump's Approval Rating, Birth Control Gel - Monologue - Duration: 3:35.

-Let's get to the news.

According to a new poll,

President Trump's approval rating

has risen to 46%.

Though, the only question on the poll was,

"Would you rather have President Trump or scabies?"

A start-up in San Francisco has developed a way

to make an aged whiskey in just 24 hours.

They just put the whiskey in a bottle

and put the bottle in front of CNN.

[ Laughter ]

Researchers launched the first-ever large-scale test

of a male birth control gel that is rubbed on

and absorbed through the skin.

Wow, I can remember when this

was the only male birth control gel.

Very effective.

Ozzy Osbourne turned 70 today, and technically --

-Whoo! -Yeah.

Technically, it was a surprise party.

[ Cheers and applause ] "It's my birthday."

"It's my birthday."

Starbucks has announced that it will block pornography

on its in-store WiFi in 2019.

But bad news for them -- all I need is that mermaid lady.

A worker at a food-processing factory in Wisconsin

has been sentenced to four years in federal prison

for putting foreign objects into sausage links.

Of course, in Wisconsin, that could just mean vegetables.

A couple visiting New York from England this weekend

got help from the NYPD recovering an engagement ring

after it was dropped through a grate in Times Square

during the proposal.

Said the woman, "Oh, thank God.

Now I can finally say no."

"You have it? You officially have it?

No!"

She said yes, you guys. Relax.

A company has developed a new robotic arm

that attaches to toilet lids

and automatically puts the seat down.

And it says a lot about men that this was an easier solution

than just asking them to do it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

"I could.

I could do it, or -- or hear me out --

robot arm."

Parents of first-graders at a New Jersey school

received an apology letter last week

after a substitute teacher told the class

that Santa Claus isn't real.

Even worse, she told them that when someone texts "on my way,"

it means they haven't left yet.

A vintage TWA Airlines plane from 1956

arrived at New York's JFK Airport last week,

where it will soon be converted

into a 1960s-themed cocktail bar.

Though, if you really want to pretend it's 60 years ago,

go to LaGuardia.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And finally, a teacher at a Hawaii preschool last week

mistakenly served students the cleaning product Pine-Sol

instead of apple juice during snack time.

On the bright side, when the kids threw up,

it smelled great.
