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

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You're in the balcony.

Thank you very much. You're in the balcony.

What the hell am I in the balcony? Thank you very much.

Please, thank you. It's great to be back. We've been away. Thank you.

Thank you, but I know why you're here because it's free and you didn't win that lottery.

Thank you very much. I love you back. And how many saw the Republican debate last night?

Where's I call it the hateful aid? Wow. That was some hair pulling cat fight, wasn't it?

I tell you this about the Republicans. They know their audience.

You could not be bloodthirsty enough. Any time the discussion turned to anything about national security, they were this close to professional wrestling banter.

I just, when I get in the ring with you, you will not be degraded. You will be destroyed.

Right. I mean, it was this close.

It's so comforting that the party of impotent white rage is also the party of concealed carry and stand your ground.

I tell you, these guys love the second amendment like nobody's business.

Chris Christie defended the right to own a 50 caliber rifle which can shoot through armor in case robbers break into your house in a tank.

Chris Christie was drawn to burnish his asshole credentials last night. He said, Obama, we're going to kick your rear end out of the white house in the fall.

I think the Constitution is going to do that for you. You had your chance to do that in 2012. He also said Obama was a petulant child right.

Obama is a child, says the man who needed surgery to give his stomach a time out.

Oh, Christie was tough. He said he would not allow Syrian refugees into this country. He's going to keep them all stuck on the George Washington bridge.

Oh, I'm telling you that testosterone was flowing in that room. They were all so amped up except, of course.

What can I say about Dr. Ben Carson, the human screen saber?

Everybody else would talk and fulminate and then they would go to him. It was like a now a word from the International Space Station.
