Bonus Bill (Originally aired 3/13/15)

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.

AKA Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

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

Oh,

thank you.

Why am I thanking you?

It's free.

I always tell the crowd's in a good mood because something good happened, and we know what it is this week.

In Ferguson, Missouri, the police chief resigned.

He said the decision came after much lack of soul searching.

And he said he just wants to spend more time hassling his family.

Now, the other big story this week, of course, has to do with Iran.

47 Republican senators sent a letter to Iran.

You know, Obama's been trying to get a nuclear deal for years, painful, painstaking negotiations, almost had it.

Republican senators sent a letter to Iran that said, hey, don't bother making a deal with Obama.

When he's gone two years, we're just going to cancel it.

You know, they're basically saying to Iran, why take Obama's deal where we lift sanctions and you give up your nuclear program when you could use our deal, we bomb you.

And today, the Republicans are getting a lot of heat from a lot of people across the spectrum saying this was, the Daily News said it was treason.

And some Republicans now are trying to walk it back.

They are downplaying it.

They said it was just being, they were just being cheeky.

I love this.

I swear to God, they're saying the administration has no sense of humor.

Because if you can't laugh at subverting sensitive talks about nuclear war, what can you laugh about, people?

I mean

this is all so nuts.

We're supposed to be freaked out about what might be in Hillary's emails.

What about in a letter to our end that says fuck the commander-in-chief?

Exactly.

But yes, this was week two of Servergate.

Hillary, did you see Hillary?

She gave a press conference defending her use of private email.

In a nutshell, she just said she saved all her work emails and she deleted all her personal emails.

And if you want to read those, you're going to have to talk to Edward Snowden.

She actually printed out, printed out 55,000 pages.

She killed so many trees, Al Gore isn't talking to her.

Well, here's the good news.

Colorado's pot law, you know, it's legal in Colorado, right?

Okay, has provided now $2.3 million for the schools in that state.

So I say to President Obama, don't legalize weed for me.

Do it for the children, man.

Do it for the children.

Now in other state news, Texas says they have only enough drugs that knock you out left to do one more lethal injection.

And Utah says they're having the exact same same problem, which is why they may consider bringing back firing squads or go to Plan B, call in Bill Cosby.

All right, thank you very much.

You know, because he knocks people out.
