Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO Late Month series, Real Time with Bill Maher.

Trump, he's such a racist.

Did you see the State of the Union?

He starts off, my fellow Americans who aren't blacks, queers, or women.

I mean, what sort of a way to start his

terrible racist.

This is Black History Month, and today

they

say he performed a ceremony in the Rose Garden where he pardoned a bucket of chicken.

I mean, it's just

But I don't know if you saw the State of the Union.

He starts off, you know, the state of our union is strong.

Yeah, considering we're a neo-fascist banana republic now.

Did you watch the speech?

I couldn't.

I mean, I tried, but I read it the next day in the original Russian.

But he read it without going off script, not once,

because Mike Pence told him if he did, he could play with the iPad.

And of course, the next day, Trump, they're boasting about the ratings, the highest ever,

which they were not.

I mean, I was the highest ever.

I've been watching the street.

Did you see the horrible train wreck in the news yesterday?

Devin Nunes?

I don't know.

Are you all from California?

We have a congressman here in California, Devin Nunes, the most ridiculous thing to come out of the state of California since Scientology.

And

you see,

Devin Nunes, see, House Republicans who were supposed to be investigating Russia meddling in our election, the House Republicans, they did not like what the FBI was finding out about Trump's involvement with this, so they decided to attack the FBI.

They didn't like how the prom was going, so they pissed in the punch bowl and pulled the fire alarm.

And they are just the Republicans.

They're just united in destroying, discrediting, obstructing anyone or anything tasked with getting to the bottom of the Russian meddling in our elections.

And if you're saying to yourself, where have I seen this before?

It's the dad who'd rather murder his whole family and burn down the house than get served with divorce papers.

That's who they are.

But if Devin Nunes can prove that the FBI is biased, then none of this ever happened.

The FBI can't investigate people they suspect.

Follow that logic.

The FBI can't investigate people they suspect because that's biased.

It's like being a fireman where you can't go near smoke.

So I don't know.

I can't follow this crime.

I have enough with.

Did you hear about Robert Wagner today?

Oh my God.

Who's 100 years old?

Because

today it's in the news.

This crime happened in 1982.

Robert Wagner, Wagner, he's 87.

Remember what was his show?

Heart to Heart or some shit like that?

He's now a person of interest in the death of Natalie Wood.

I tell you, if it turns out he harassed her, he's in big trouble.

All right, thank you very much.
