Bonus Bill – Ep. #462

Speaker 1 Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series, Real Time with Bill Ma.

Speaker 2 So this is America, so let's start off with what the important issue of the week is, which is a TV star got fired for tweeting.

Speaker 2 So her show was canceled after a series of tweets that were rife with racism and conspiracy theories and personal attacks. Yes, on the upside, she has been just hired onto Trump's legal team.

Speaker 2 So she's...

Speaker 2 But yeah, Roseanne said it was the ambient. Did you see that? It was the ambient tweeting.
If she would just stick to the drugs that I send her, I think we'd all be...

Speaker 2 But no, it was a series of tweets. She started out saying,

Speaker 2 see, this is where it's sad. You know, saying Chelsea Clinton was married to George Soros' nephew.

Speaker 2 Completely not true, that George Soros was a Nazi who turned in his fellow Jews in the concentration camps. I don't want to say this is tinfoil hat crazy shit.

Speaker 2 But about three tweets in, Surrey interrupted and said, you know, you can Google this shit.

Speaker 2 I mean, honestly, this is for people whose understanding of racial issues is on the level of, how come there's no White History Month?

Speaker 2 So that's the big story. Roseanne lost her show, and Trump said, big deal, I can't find Melania.

Speaker 2 Have you seen that? No one has seen the First Lady for 21 days. We were wrong about Trump.
He's not Hitler. He's Henry VIII.

Speaker 2 He's, no.

Speaker 2 But honestly, in the who's crazier, Roseanne or Trump category, it is kind of a toss-up. I mean, Trump tweeted this week.

Speaker 2 This is a quote, his tweet. Not that it matters, but I never fired Comey because of Russia.
Corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative.

Speaker 2 Okay, we're not saying that you fired Comey because of Russia because it's obviously true. We're saying that because it's what you said you did.

Speaker 2 And it's not like you to lie.

Speaker 2 Trump's defense literally is, who are you going to believe, me or me?

Speaker 2 But Donald Trump has much bigger things on his mind. He held historic talks with Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 2 Did you see that? Oh, and his deal-making skills are as sharp as over.

Speaker 2 She owns Texas now.

Speaker 2 This was a meeting that was secretly arranged by Jared Kushner. He contacted Kim using the back channel, like Ray J.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that whole Michael Cohen thing is very confusing to Kim. She thinks hush money is what you say when you don't want to wake up the money.
