Bonus Bill – Ep. #456

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence. I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
He's going the distance. He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick. He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Now, Charlie's sober. He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class? I think we're past that, Charlie. We're past that, yeah.
Somebody call action.

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

Thank you very much. You know, for years, Trump's been like, don't tell our enemies what we're going to do.

That's stupid.

And then he tweets, get ready, Russia.

Really?

He really tweeted, get ready, Russia. Our missiles are coming, nice, new, and smart.

Which was three words I never thought I'd say, stupid for Trump.

And then

I guess he realized he screwed up because the next day he tweeted, I never said when the attack would take place.

Could be very soon, could be not at all.

That's what he tweeted. Could be very soon, not at all, not at all.
Checkmate, Putin.

You better watch out or not watch out.

And the other big news, wow,

Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, you know him, right? He's not going to run for re-election. He said he...

Yeah.

He said he just realized that standing by and doing nothing while America implodes is something he could do from home.

And you know Scott Fruitt, the head of the EPA, they've been trying to get him to step down. He's not going anywhere.
He wants to change the EPA logo.

He wants to put on it a buffalo and a Bible verse.

Because nothing says environmental protection like an animal we almost drove to extinction

and a book about not believing in science.

See, this isn't really part of the Russia probe, so Mueller set up a taint team. I know.

I had not heard that term before yesterday either, but apparently it's a real taint team, I'm saying. He set up a taint team.
These are

lawyers and agents not connected to the Russia probe. That is a taint team.
It ironically also sounds like one of Stormy Daniels' movies.

Taint Team, I think. I saw Taint Team 3.

I didn't see the first two.

And the warrant, to add, you know, insult to injury for Donald Trump, the warrant was authorized by Rod Rosenstein, who was the acting deputy attorney general, who was a Trump appointee.

Trump said, I can't believe someone would betray me like that. And Melania said, you'll get used to it.

Remember Steve Bannon? Remember that asshole who used to be around the White House? Okay,

he's got a new plan for Donald Trump. He's advising him from afar.

He says Trump should fire Rod Rosenstein, then stop allowing the special counsel to interview other staff members, and then claim executive privilege on all of Mueller's interviews that he's already done so that they're null and void.

Yeah, I guess you could do all that, or you could also be innocent.

And the final story that was pretty big this week, you saw Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook testified before Congress. And Zuckerberg, oh, he looked pained

during the whole testimony. I kept waiting for him to disappear and then seeing the words, Mark has left the conversation.

All right, thank you very much. We're gonna.com.
