Real Time returns after a five week hiatus and THIS is what we get?!?!

1:14:32

Look, this was supposed to just be essentially a mini episode to check up on what's been on Bill Maher's mind during his five months off, but I'm exporting the clips now and the file is almost twenty minutes long so clearly this is going to be much closer to a full episode.
