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

Thank you very much. How are you? I kiss you all but you know there's a virus. Thank you very much. Oh what a crowd. Thank you.

You're so good to thank you. Thank you. You have my utmost appreciation for you know testing and all this stuff yet to get you must have nothing better to do.

I really appreciate you doing this. I really do and I get your terrific mood must be because it's Valentine's Day weekend. I get excited. I have everybody. Oh my gosh. Everyone's in the mood.

Army Hammer told his girlfriend today I'd eat you all over again. It was...

But it's hard in lockdown right Valentine's Day. It's hard to be romantic. Yeah I said to someone the other day. Let me get that refrigerator door for you. I'm trying to be.

Oh it's like...

But I tell you yeah we're halfway through February. I still can't wait for last year to be over. What the fuck? I thought this was going to be a better year.

And I tell you Valentine's Day nothing gets you revved up for romance like a solid week of bloody insurrection videos huh?

You're watching the impeachment all week. It's just about ending. Yeah.

The Democrats of course laid out a very powerful case that Trump was inside a violent insurrection against his own government and the Republicans laid out today a very powerful case that they don't give a shit.

Yeah they really don't. Have you seen their lawyers?

Whoever was... I mean it's pretty pathetic. One of them though is an observant Jew although he thinks Trump is innocent so not that observant.

And...

But some of the... I mean the video...

There were smarts. It just showed the video. Let the tapes do the talking and this amazing stuff there.

Including a hero that officer Eugene Goodman, the guy who you know he really saved Pelosi and met Romney, he turned around and got him going the right way and Mike Pence.

They were going to hang Mike Pence and he said quick Mr. Pence your people are revolting and Pence said no they're just suffering economic anxiety.

That's all right. Well, but I love over this. Trump vans are still claiming that the people in the video, even on the wearing Trump hats and Trump shirts and carrying Trump signs and beating on Trump targets with Trump flags,

reading Trump tweets are actually Antifa. Really that's their defense. It wasn't us. It's people dressed up like us, acting like us.

I tell you that Antifa School for the Performing Arts is one hell of a dramatic college. They are really good.

And this was pretty funny, but it came out today that during the whole impeachment trial really since Trump's been out of the White House, Melania has spent most of her time at the spa. Her favorite relaxation passage is the silent treatment.
