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

Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. Wow. What a crowd. Oh, please. The crowds get better

rubby week here. I'm looking. I say, happy Friday or I like to call it 420 day five.

Yeah, wow. I was 420 this week, not that I need another excuse to get stoned all the time,

but wow. Yesterday I binge watched my hand.

Yeah, that's what they call it now binge watching, binge watching, staying up all night watching television.

Yeah, we used to call that doing cocaine. But it was it was also Earth Day this week and people

are right. Nature is healing. That is the one bright spot in this. The deer have returned to

Griffith Park. There's fish in the canals of Venice. The swallows have returned to President

Trump's skull. Oh, I stopped watching the the briefings. I can't. I can't. Why? I mean, to watch

this guy lie and blame and point fingers and pat himself on the back, it's like, what? I watch

him. It's like ash trays when I see them on an airplane. I say to myself, why do they still have these?

Yeah, Trump was pissed off this week because they finally got back the largest study so far to be

done about hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, queen, whatever it is. And you know, this is the

shit that Trump has been saying, you know, what are you up to? He's been pushing this like a buick

dealer trying to unload last year's skylark. But the study came back and it turns out it doesn't

work. It's dangerous and it hasn't been vetted. If it was a person, he would have hired it.

But I mean, what is this? What do you have to lose? About a dangerous, unvetted drug that has

side effects? This is why my mother told me, never take medical advice from a fat guy in clown makeup.

I don't know.

I want to see if things aren't bad enough. How about a side order of war to go with what we're going

through? Because Trump tweeted this week, I am not making this up. I couldn't make this up.
