Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO Late Night Series, Real Time with Bill Ma.

Thank you, folks.

Thank you very much.

How are you?

I appreciate it.

You know what was threatened by fire?

The Reagan Library in Simi Valley.

Yeah, firefighters were spraying the area, but the flames kept advancing, which is very ironic because it showed the trickle-down doesn't work.

Some 80s humor.

Well, the impeachment investigation is leveling up, as the kids say.

At least 15 current or former members of the administration have testified or are going to testify.

I mean, they're testifying now faster than Trump can tweet that they're human scum.

That's how fast it's going.

And

today, Congress, did you see this, had their first big vote about the impeachment, just the inquiry.

Can we have an inquiry?

Every single Republican voted no.

They won't investigate the crime, and yet the suspect won't stop confessing.

I've never seen a

situation like this.

Yes, the right-wingers who are protecting Trump were questioning the patriotism of this guy who came forward this week, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who is a Trump-appointed national security official, decorated Iraq war veteran, got the Purple Heart.

Even Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney's daughter, said it's shameful to question his patriotism.

I don't know the exact definition of scumbag, but when Liz Cheney calls you shameful, I think that's close.

And this guy, this hero, Lieutenant Colonel Vinman, he was one of the people who was listening in.

on the original call that Trump had with the Ukrainian president that started this whole mess.

This poor guy, this poor Vinman guy, he comes over here as a Soviet refugee.

He joins the army.

He sees combat.

He gets a master's degree from Harvard.

And then his job is listening in on Trump's phone calls.

Forget the Purple Heartage.

You get the Medal of Honor.

And sad news for us in California here, Katie Hill, the congresswoman from right over in Palmdale, she resigned today for an improper sexual relationship.

You know, just like Al Franken, though, just went quietly.

Republicans don't do this, they never give up, even after they've been licked.

All right, thank you very much.

We're gonna go over here.
