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

Okay, here we are. Now you're worried that this question wasn't nice. It is nice. Tommy,

what do you think of Republicans like McCain and Lindsey Graham who have

rebuked President Trump's executive order banning Muslim refugees? That's a

reasonable question. You know, I'm all for anybody standing in their truth. I do

think that McCain and Graham are both incredibly threatened by Donald Trump and I

think that their relevancy is threatened so they're lashing out. But hey, you know

we're okay in the Republican party. We got a lot of voices. That's good. Right. And where do

you think they stand on LGBT rights? I know where Trump stands. I think that he's been

incredibly pro LGBT and in those issues. Don't say that because they're boyfriend.

I don't think that was him. Rick Wilson, do you think it's likely that Trump's base or a majority

a big economic lift for the folks that really were strongly for him, which are our lower middle

class working whites, he's going to have a lot of trouble holding on to those folks if he doesn't

show actual results. You can't just tweet and bullshit your way out of it. Right.

But I mean, he has done a lot of job boning with corporations. You know, he would say,

I've already saved jobs. Before I even got to the White House, I saved jobs because you know,

I also read that corporations are scared of him. Call me crazy. Call me crazy, but there's a big

difference between actual job creation and policies that make the economy get lit up and a bullshit

tornado. And basically that's that's what all these CEO meetings turn out to be of the accounts
