Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late-night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

tell?

You know, it's like that cactus on your windowsill when you go, is that dead or is that the

We're not paying the coast guard.

So, Melania, if you can get to the water's edge, this is your name.

My favorite comment on this came from the, there's a big evangelical preacher, mega church

Trump's wall to keep out Mexican.

Can you imagine getting thrown out of the Republican party for being two races?

No, nothing's going right for him.
