run of us tell a dog yes but of last night bill maher always i'm with him on the second or no on the symphony and the helpful notices in the other nothing's going to. the square is called i'm on the air and it's a fifteen minute walk from parliaments where we met the guys they told us that it's one of the top three most popular places to buy sex and drugs in athens the boy pierre changes at nights and becomes very seedy as you walk by you're bound to see young boys flirting with passers by a friend drugs or themselves one of our refugees wanted to tell us more about the neighborhood but asked us to conceal his identity because he's a regular here. on our fee as to how down that that's about the english. and did not know yet to another one also hobbyists then and now. it's up their own. i you know. a foreigner one on another knock on the shoulder monocytes and gents. as should know the engine see or not to do that mocking my enemy dalek will live on you. to hustle so you feel like a huge of a wad in. what i said todd. and fell. off a hard. drive on the dollar. why when you did they ho

"good in your privileged world, bill maher."h trump fans, 'cause so much of it is fake. just nonsense made to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversies that aren't controversial and outrageous that aren't outrageous. because places like the huffington post and buzzfeed and salon, they make their money about how many clicks they get. yes, the people who see themselves as morally superior are actually ignoring their sacred job of informing citizens of what's important and instead sowing division for their own selfishness ends. hey, wait. isn't that what russia was doing to us? pete: nicely done, sir. rachel: nicely done. first of all, apologizes for bill maher this early in the morning. he's insufferable, but he's got a good point, and remember, it was the media, i mean, it wasn't like blogs yikes huffington post or buzzfeed but the mainstream media covering for two weeks that donald trump was not mentally stable and then of course once we saw the open to the camera meetings that he had on immigration,

. >> well, until jon stewart and kolber and bill maher, the best political satire was basically cartoonists just simply drawing someone in a ludicrous way in and of itself brings them down. >> of course those things influence people, because most of us aren't good readers. we like a little grab. >> it's the pin in the balloon that's puncturing pom policity and showing that the emperor has no clothes, things of that sort. >> herb block did much more than just puncture pom positive, he illuminated hypocrisy. >> during the watergate years, they were very incisive, very intelligent cartoons what herb block wrote. being from d.c., running from "the washington post" that broke that story, made it even more important. because it's one of the few places in a newspaper where you can tell it like it is. so in the end herb block had a great deal to do with nixon coming down. >> he had a lot of people who would complain to him, that was outrageous! he had one answer every time. he'd say, but it's true. >> franklin? i can call you franklin? >> years ago it was frowned upon to make fun of the people runn

. >> bill maher does have a point. i was appalled when the president started tweeting about little rock et man. but at the end of the day we have a shot to have negotiations with north korea. now, i caution shouldn't just take place without strong agreement that north korea will stop its testing. i would think the president might want to hearken back to what bill clinton did. he september over madeline albright to talk to kim jong eupl, kim jong-un's father, and decided not to go have conversations after that visit. who knows? maybe this is a step in the right direction. but it is still much too early to tell. >> for sure. rick, are people justifiably skeptical because it is trump who is doing this. you may have heard ted deutch of florida say it is better than ratcheting up the fire and fury on twitter. >> i do think bill has a point. that is it is so crazy it just might work. he could have announced he was going to meet with kim jong-un and then we had a lot of preparations. the problem that bill brings up is the pre

. - well, my point is you have people who, if i were bill maher sitting here as opposed to myself, i would be saying well, the bible is made up. - [kurt] yeah, yeah, yeah. - you know his whole trope about that. - yes. - the kind of belief without facts to support the belief or back the belief up that you talk about in here, do you see a long walk or a short walk to people's traditional faith? i mean, after all, they're believing in a thing that they believe. - right. - but there's no basis for it. - right, and that is the nature of not all religions but much of religion, is taking empirically unknowable, unprovable things on faith, and i can't, i can have my doubts about things, but i can't say that's not true. - you don't think that the church broadly defined or institutionally defined without regard to one specific religion is necessarily a problem as far as it gets in fantasyland. - i don't think it's a problem, and again, i don't think it was a problem until starting in the 1960s in my lifetime it's sort of becoming a problem because as, just in protestantism, as the mainline chu

hanging out with bill maher and ellen and helping me find my truth and social justice mission, totally. and that's the angle. yesterday the mayor of baltimore, maryland, announced the city will help students get to the march for our lives, that gun-control rally rally in washington later this month. >> it is all about hearing the voices of young people, and so we are taking 60 buses from baltimore city -- from baltimore city, because we want your voices to be heard in washington, d.c.. >> laura: joining us now is the mayor of baltimore, catherine pugh who supported and addressed hundreds of students who walked out of their classrooms yesterday demanding gun control legislation. it is great to have you on the show. i so appreciate your time tonight. tell us about what your goal is here in baltimore. this march is going to take place in a few weeks in washington. but what do you want to achieve by helping the students go down? >> so first let me say thank you for the invite and it's good to be here this evening with you. our goal is to allow young people's voices to be heard. we didn't e

eric holder, the former attorney general, i mentioned on this couch some weeks ago, went on bill maher's show and said i think obstruction of justice charges will be filed, i've known robert mule 20er to 30 years. you have andrew mccabe in his statements last weekend, alluded to that. they're trying to put pressure on the special counsel to come up, to cook up these obstruction charges. and how do you that is if the president tells one fib to bob mueller. >> melissa, you have got one lead attorney, john dowd, outside lead, who is putting together a legal brief, if you will, argument for the president to sit down with mueller's team. enumerating the boundaries and parameters. now he's out. >> i agree with everything that you both just said. and i would say that this is a president who loves to fire people. and you know, i mean -- >> reportedly dowd quit. >> right, but -- >> there's always healthy skepticism, were you close to the door when you quit. >> yeah, yeah. if you believe that i've got a bridge that i want to sell you. i agree with what they said, and the president's personal style

mccabe statement if you you read between lines up of former attorney general eric holder going on bill maherler will find obstruction of justice "new york times" asking rein rein mcgan how interviews with mueller went trying to -- create the odor of -- of obstruction and then even in mccabe's statement he said, it is -- it is part of this administration's ongoing war on fbi and efforts of special counsel investigation which continue to this day he is talking about, about i am going to push for obstruction of justice. >> he can do what he wants to do former attorney general can do whatever he wants the thing that trump has to worry about is mueller investigation, he wants that to be legitimate an endgame critical thing i am all for the -- the calling for special prosecutor to look at justice department because clearly a lot of things occurred need to be set straight for the future, whatever occurred is now in the past, but make sure it doesn't happen again, i think as we sit here, and watch putin today, celebrate his victory i can guarantee that we did not have any operatives playing to his p
