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

Thank you very much.

How you doing?

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

How are they?

Are they depressed?

No?

Fourth of July.

That's why you're...

Are you ready starting to celebrate early?

I think we should get out there and celebrate the 4th of July in everything America used to stand for.

Yeah, this was a tough week for liberals.

I kind of feel it in the room.

You're a little depressed?

I am.

I'm in the Supreme Court.

You heard what happened there.

Anthony Kennedy is retiring.

And for the new Supreme Court justice, Trump says he has a list of 25 great people.

Everyone on the list is against Roe versus Wade.

So if you work at Planned Parenthood, maybe a good time to update your LinkedIn page.

But here's what happens now.

The president, who got 3 million fewer votes than the woman he beat, nominates someone who then is approved or not by the Senate, where liberal California with 40 million people has the same number of votes as conservative Nebraska with half a million.

You know, democracy.

But what everyone's talking about this because let's be civil.

Have you seen all that?

You saw, you heard what happened to Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

Did you see that?

It is getting very uncivil out there.

Stephen Miller, who is the Secretary of Terror in the Trump administration, he was at dinner the other night, and one of the other patrons in the restaurant screamed, fascist, and Miller was furious.

He pointed to his blow-up doll and said, apologize to my date.

But yeah, it all got inflamed because Maxine Waters, you know Maxine Waters, one of our congresspeople from here in California, she doubled down on this.

She said, yes, absolutely, shame Trump people.

If you see Trump people at at restaurants, at department stores, at the gas station, shame them.

Wait a second.

To Trump people, gas stations are restaurants and department stores.

Do you feel more hostility out there?

I do.

One-third, look, get this, almost one-third of Americans think we are heading toward a second civil war.

And I

and this guy wants it to start today.

Well, I don't know what you're so happy about because the other side has all the guns.

But don't worry, our side does CrossFit.

Yeah.

And Trump is going, it was announced today, going to have his summit with Vladimir Putin of Russia.

Of course, it's just to work out the final terms of our surrender.

Now, Trump sees sees this as a summit.

Putin sees it as an annual review of the regional director of operation.

And finally, get this: Trump hired Bill Schein, used to be the guy who ran Fox News to be the White House communication director.

Good news, Bill.
