Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maul.

Okay, here we are on overtime. These are the questions from people. We wanted to talk about this on the show.

I'm glad somebody asked this. Is Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill designed to trap Democrats into saying they support teaching young children about sexuality?
