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

You know, since this is the Trump government shutdown in the Trump government, how can you tell?

You know, it's like that cactus on your windowsill when you go, is that dead or is that the way it's supposed to be?

We're not paying the Coast Guard.

So, Melania, if you can get to the water's edge, this is your chance.

My favorite comment on this came from the, there's a big evangelical preacher, megachurch guy named Robert Jeffers, and he's a big Trump guy, he was defending the wall.

He said, even heaven itself has a wall.

It does?

And you can tell he's a big Trumpster because he said, and that wall is for the same purpose as Trump's wall, to keep out Mexican.

Well, that's not the worst. Are you familiar with Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King? He's been saying horribly racist things for many years.

And he said to the New York Times a few days ago, what's wrong with white supremacy?

So there is pressure now to quit from within his own party. Wow.
Can you imagine getting thrown out of the Republican Party for being too racist?

No, nothing's going right for him. He had what usually is a no-brainer for presidents to have a football team over to the White House.
I mean, any president can pull this off. Fuck this up.

He did.

He had

Clemson. I don't follow college sports.
I feel like when you're good enough to be in the pros, I'll watch you.

I do. That's how I feel.

So I don't know anything about it, but Clemson, I guess, won something, and

he had the football team over to the White House, but because the government's on strike, there was nobody there to cook food for them, so he said, So I paid for myself out of my own money.

I bought 300 hamburgers or a thousand, I think, or maybe it was 3 million. Who gives a fuck?

But yes, and they were all from like Wendy's and McDonald's. Yeah, look at that pile of shit.

And the food doesn't look good either.

And

he tweeted this out out and spelled hamburgers, H-A-M-B-E-R-D-E-R.

Hamburger.

Hamburger?

You know you're a dumbass when your spell check goes, I give up.

And

my favorite part of this, he said at one point, because they had no food, he said, I was going to ask Melania to whip up a salad, Melania, in the kitchen. Yes, I can see that.
Right.

Melania looked at his crotch and went, I'll start by slicing up a baby carrot. That's what she said.

Over here.
