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

0:30.0

Thank you very much. Oh, I know it's so exciting to be. I love you too. And what's going

0:44.0

on? I know it's the first day of fall when Trump's colors are at their peak. No, really,

0:56.0

the way his hair explodes and a riot of golds and reds and his faces are rich umber and it just

1:05.0

makes you want to get out of the city and go anticking in his chins. But can you believe that

1:14.0

he's almost shot again? I don't know how this happens. I mean soon the temperatures will be

1:18.0

creeping into the teens. Oh wait, I'm thinking of Anthony Weiner. Wait. He was...

1:26.0

I feel bad he's been a gasp. But yeah, he got sent up the rep at this week. Anyway, it's

1:31.0

the healthcare bill in Congress. I mean, you watch the Senate go after healthcare. Just month after,

2:17.0

Lindsey Graham said, I know one maverick who's going to sleep on the couch tonight. That's all I'm saying.

2:32.0

But no, John McCain, I got to give to him. He said, I cannot in good conscious, good conscious, vote for such a vague,

2:40.0

irresponsible piece of legislation. And all the Republicans at once said, what's good conscience?

2:47.0

No, I mean, I know that, but they're learning. You see, the problem with the other plans that they had was that they told the voters what was in them.

3:00.0

So they didn't do that this time. They kind of kept it all a big secret. In fact, the CBO, that's the Congressional Budget Office, which scores these things.

3:11.0

They haven't had it long enough to what they call Scorch. So they said they can only give it a partial analysis.
