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

Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you, people. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. I know it's not me, but it's not me. It's the fact that it's going to rain here. It's going to rain.

They said it could end our wildfire season. Oh my gosh, but of course this is California. So it has to turn into a disaster.

After that, we're going to get flooding and landslides. On the plus side in San Francisco, it'll wash the shit off the street.

So you know how I kid the shit on the street. Also, it's a pretty great news. Hawaii, the state just announced they're going to open back up to the fully vaccinated next month.

Yes, finally, finally a governor who is asking the right questions about COVID. Like how will my policies affect Bill Maugh's New Year's Eve plans?

That's right. Our Hawaii gig is back on our 10th anniversary. Okay, so yes, look, I mean, worth I think over the hump here yet. Now I read there's a new strain of COVID. Did you see this delta plus?

Okay, people, there's always going to be a new strain to virus. Okay, it's going to try to live. We got to live. We got to try to live. Yes, thank you.

Because there's so many repercussions. I mean, psychiatrist and pediatricians now saying there's a national mental health emergency with the young with the youth of America, stolen, withdrawn full of anxiety and then COVID hit.

But they say it's 10 times worse now. I heard a mother at the dinner table the United States, honey, are you okay? You've barely taken a picture of your food.

What was I doing in some of those observing that it's weird. I just walked into a house and I needed a joke. I walked in.

But no, there's a shortage of everything now. Have you seen this? This is our new crisis in America and Biden. He's headed up to here.

No, he lost his temper this week. I mean, between the reconciliation bill stuck with between the Democrats. Didn't even up to the Republicans yet. And all the shortages. He did. He lost it. Biden said, what are we doing?

He said, this is the United States of America. Damn it. And I thought it was kind of sweet. He's so old. He remembers when it was weird to think of America as a huge fuck up.

Republicans now are trying to paint him as Jimmy Carter, 2.0. Does anybody remember Jimmy Carter? And they say it's the 70s all over again. Well, you know, inflation is going up. Gas prices, shortages, Biden would not have any of these. That is ridiculous. This is not the 1970s. And then it's mood ring turned black. That was a bad sign.

And the mood rings. I barely do. But are you excited about Halloween? This is the great time.

Oh, you are. Yeah.

It's the great time of the year when you're excited about your costume, but it hasn't gotten you canceled yet.

So, there are some people out there. Celebrities, politics, some great costumes coming up. Rudy Giuliani is going as a lawyer.

Yeah. Tucker Carlson is going as a journalist this year. So amazing the way. And Kirsten Sinema is going as a Democrat. It's going to be a really interesting Halloween.

The committee that's looking into the January 6th uprising of the Capitol Hill riot has subpoenaed Steve Bannon, former guest.
