Soo thankful to listen to your well-informed voice of reason ...delivered with your inimitable laughter. You are an amazing senator from my home state of MN & we were all lucky to have your service. Keep using your voice & bless you, AL.
I am heartened knowing there are people out there who really care about the quality of everyone's lives; who are intelligent and coherent. The debates will be interesting: the sane vs. the crazy.
I read David's book and I was surprised at how much strategy goes into a political campaign. Very interesting from an outsider's position. Thanks Al from a Canadian.
Especially since Trump's so-called "strategy" is to hyper-bully others, name-call, belittle and hypocritically blame everyone else. It's truly sad and frightening how much anti-intellectualism is in my 🤦🏻♀️ country 🇺🇲. Apologies to the world 🌍. 😔 Bless Canada 🙏💜🇨🇦
I have to say Sessions was low hanging fruit but it was sweet to have his balls lying on the floor . Betsy De Vos probably one of the most heinous Republican sins that shows where their heart is
@@hazeljones5272. I would guess in her wallet. She's a Republican and a multi millionaire; which makes her a perfect choice for the Education Secretary. (I'm English, can't remember how you title your ministers of state).
Love you’re pod cast . I once lived in Manitoba our farm was 20 miles from the North Dakota US border . Back in the day we rode our horses across the border at Madia . A small little place were the border station was . There was a small bar Called Jack Bar and Grill . We went there to drink on Sunday’s . Manitoba didn’t have Sunday drinking. We never had problems from the border guards they knew we were crossing illegally. We came by trails made by people who came before us . The trail was there for years . In the winter we came by snowmobile. I counted over 50 snowballs machines there one time . I’ve been told that the trail to Madia is no longer used. Farmers have put up fences there are censors placed so they can detect movement . We can no longer cross illegally any more. Jacks Bar went under once the border got serious about us farm boys crossing by way of the trails out ancestors made . I sure miss those days . When the US were are friends. They welcomed our money and they were great hosts . This was in the mid seventies. Things sure have changed. Stay safe Al
Al- why oh why did you let “them” force you out of the Senate. Need your voice and messaging that describes that the people in the bottom, whether left or right, actually have more in common with each other than the power brokers (various CEOs and by “unlimited money donations” that makes most of Congress complicit and representing them not their constituents) in this country who are taking advantage by dividing those people. Keeps them all I power.
Because a dozen or more women came forward with sexual assault allegations and he was about to be censured for it by the US Senate (ran at the time by his own lefty woke club) after Ethics Committee investigations. Question is not why this corrupt disgrace is not still in government, but rather: Why can't we hear what the Senate Ethics Committee found against him that was so damning to immediate demand his resignation?
As much as I rued his decision to step down and I utterly did. I accept and applaud his sense of integrity. If he was trying to be an example to anyone who will remain nameless lest he appear ala Tim "Betelgeuse" Burton style sadly that character has no shame, none.
With columnist Christopher Hitchens when he debated with an opponent that constantly lies he would cut off his opponent in mid-lie with a loud proclamation, “A LIE!” Why sit calmly and allow a bald face lie to get air. Hitchens’ incredible rejoinder also helped seal the final score.
@@susanryman9948 . And his brother Peter Hitchens lives and vomits his spleen, hate and pusillanamous views on British television whenever he is asked by the BBC and other right wing channels.
Nora Wright I only read his articles and his recounting his losing fight with cancer which was written in such a way I saw how horrible it must be. That’s the only viewpoint I had which was limited.
Think of what we could have in this country if democracy were at work: Health care with a public option. A reasonably sound response to a pandemic. A reasonably sound response to the simple practical problem of greenhouse gases clobbering Earth's climate. A reasonably sound response to oligarchs clobbering our democracy.
Mr. Franken, Thank you for your insight and faithful intelligence. You have motivated my internal thoughts of resolve. I pray God’s peace to us all. You are a great man.
Biden will have no problem drilling Trump with questions that he won't ever answer. Trump will take the conversation to a childish, dismal, pathetic level only his base will appreciate. Trump will go into cardiac arrest from doing way to much cocaine. Biden will win the election Pence will finish Trump's term. Trump recovers from episode in time to face his crimes and be convicted federally and by the State of New York. He goes to federal prison where he gets a hot little present from Putin that sends him to his grave. Story over.
Thank you for the recounting of how we passed the ACA. VERY many of us recruited people to CALL their Congresspeople to PASS THAT BILL! I was working for OFA at the time and I remember the President came on a Skype call with all the volunteers and staffers and he asked us what we wanted MOST, the answer was a comprehensive Healthcare Bill.. as Biden said, it was a BFD!
I get a kick out of reading the various yard signs in my community during this election season. They vary from "Trump 2020" to "F%#& Trump!" to "Anyone but Trump". Me/ I'm voting for Joe.
You are so right about the lies. Trump can't open his mouth without lies flowing out. Great Pod Cast - I need to catch up on the ones I missed!! Al you & Frannie stay safe, healthy and happy. Really miss you in the Senate.
We are so lucky to have David Axelrod on our [Democratic] side. He's is not only a brilliant strategist but also a man with a heart in the right place, in other words, a "Mensch," first & foremost. Thanks, Al Franken, that was great.
Spectacular interview. Want you to know Al, my many friends and acquaintances love you. Wish you were still in the Senate. But excited you are doing this important work. Thank you. Just please know how loved you are!
I always got Goosebumps ..when number 43 Al Franken stepped up to the plate ..Congressional League... Al see what's going on down here in Clinic league
Great conversation! Trump is a horror show. What is scary to me is the milllions of people that think like him. He didn't turn their way of thinking. They believed that way and Trump made it OK to say it out loud and act on it. Makes it normal.
Feinstein will leave at end of her term. She needs to go, she did a great job but I feel from just my own personal observation, Trump had taken sail out of her wind. She has the most integrity I've ever seen close up and consistent!!
We hear you friend.... thank god, thank you for spelling this out ... no pun intended, as our Pres, .... can’t read, can’t spell, ..... just how would anyone want to stand by him..... so sad that anyone’s wives or husbands would support this..... my Mom, 89 yrs old, when this unbelievable election happened: day before she said, “ Jenny, if this man gets elected we’re moving to Canada. She, we, live, in the heart of Buckhead, so sad that so many people around us just MIGHT VOTE FOR HIM...... very fucked up, very scary; what an insult to ourselves,.......that we actually know people .... too many, that would actually vote for this man. I am so grateful that my parents Dr Skoot and Annie Dimon..... showed us the way from day one...... one love, one heart.....
David Axelrod: Please talk about how Biden can deal with Trump's bullying tactics! Also, pls, pls whatever you do have Biden's team invite/ encourage and allow Kamala Harris to simulate debate with Biden to let him make mistakes you expect he'll make b 4 hand so he doesn't have to make those mistakes in real-time. He needs to look mature, and strong in a kind, rational and traditional way. Do not try to out-Trump Trump! (Let Trump do his P.T. Barnum act hopefully 4 one of the last times!) Just be rational, reasonable, stable and steady. Don't fall in to trap of facts and policies. We are already impressed with former Vice President and Senator Biden. Rely on us and please above all, do ask Americans to Vote for you! (The Democratic ads I keep seeing on you tube, my email & texts) leave out that important request, just like Democrats did not use the 2020 convention to repair damage of 2016 mistake of not focussing on the 4 state's that lost us the electoral college Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc. and add -- Ohio this time along with Arizona. Maybe it would b a good idea to speak directly in some way to those voters during this debate: Those states and others r suffering losses of jobs and collapse of farms as 45 picked a trade war with China -- our biggest buyer of corn and soy beans. Now, the market has collapsed for these farmers and families across the nation due to the Corona virus economic disaster. People are hurting! Trump's answer in his own words is he is not responsible. In a Biden administration, the buck will stop with me, right here with Joe Biden. Simple! Period! Leave Trump no where to catch traction. Force him to think on his feet which he can only do by bullying and lying. Ignore most of what he says and stick with your own talking points and your preparation. Don't get cute; don't get fancy. Just be Joe -- we know Joe! Remember: James Carville and Paul Begalia, David Axelrod and Steve Schmidt -- all of whom have backed winners -- are backing you, and we The Country are all depending on you to steer a steady ship through to winning the election! Be positive: To Win election is our goal. We have no space or need to defeat, beat etc. Trump however tempting that language is. Play Trump's game in that way and that way alone -- it's. just a show of self- confidence. Never mind any nonsense he brings up in debate about Hunter, or Bo. A: I'm sure Congress is more than capable of doing their job. Those matters are Congress' business. We're here tonight to discuss the executive branch -- Presidential business. No impulsive, knee jerk responses. Remember when Obama roasted Trump at the White House Press Corp dinner -- unforgettable! That's not your job: Your job is to get suburban white mothers' votes and to remind white men that a real man does not have to bully those who disagree with him or have different ideas, nor demean other nations and religions, nor abuse, hate and take advantage of women or be a prejudiced, foul-mouthed son-of-a-sea biscuit -- and, of course, to Vote 4 you too! You can show all of this without speaking these words! Please practice, practice, practice for the 09/29/20 debate! Maybe Martin O'Malley, former governor of Maryland or even current governor, Larry Hogan should have an Irish- American, man to-man telecon with Mr. Biden pre-debate. I know Mr. Biden can't scream Trump off the stage and out of office like O'Malley did to Ken Cuccinelli after the alumni event at their former law school earlier this year (abuses of children at the boarder immigrant facilities), but I'm betting he can bring to bear some homespun, Irish wisdom, a reminder for Joe Biden to keep top of mind. BTW: Is Sarah Cooper being included in the debate prep? She does Trump better than Trump's (phoney) act does! It's all acting! She would be a very important addition to the prep. (See Sarah Cooper and Kamala Harris talking on you tube.) I don't always agree with Biden ( esp. Anita Hill hearings / Clarence Thomas' despicable SCOTUS nomination), but I respect that like President Obama, Biden is neither fake nor phoney! That means everything! Pls remind country of this -- what honor, bravery and courage really mean! Remember John McCain! Don't let Cadet Bone Spurs get best of you, us and our beloved country! Counting on you!
Maybe a reference to the total taxes paid by the fortune 500 the year before and the year after T rumps budget went into effect would help people understand the cost which limits what can be done to help the " PEOPLE " now.
The question is how you debate against lies? And if you think voters want to hear the truth, you're mistaken. People want to know that you will do anything for them, and that includes lying.
How absolutely ironic and disgusting a TRUMP commercial interrupted while I was l listening to your Pod Cast...thank goodness the next one was for the ASPCA!!! You Tube should let the people putting their things on to approve or stop what ads are inserted during their time on!!!
Senator Franken: I read only 1 of your books, that's all I needed to read. Your experience in the Senate. I never watched you on SNL. I listened to you while on the Senate floor and have held you in high esteem ever since. My heart was/is broken by reason of you leaving, pushed out by the Dems because Dems eat Dems. I listened to this last night, didn't sleep trying to figure out how to get your attention. I've chosen this venue. What can we say to convince you to form a mostly female task force specifically for through investigation into past accusations by women, said accusations which provided for the Dems to feel it was time to eat another Dem. This task force which you will name so that ppl can exhaust them not you in asking questions on past 'behavior' for the sake of this writing. I'm very serious. "The organization of our campaign is set up so that a committee or task force who has investigated all concerned issues, have been their one and only job. They know more than me and this gives me more valuable time to speak directly to you regarding ideas to rebuild our Democracy." You see, it will take at least 1 decade to discover what Trump and his hundreds of tentacles have don't to ruin relationships with our allies, changes made to weaken our defense, pillars contiminated and what was stolen. Then it's going to take 2 decades to reassure, rebuild, replenish, mend, and all along educate the American ppl who need to be able to turn their energy back to their own productivity and let this Country take 1 or many collective deep breaths! You need to be back to the job of lawmaking. I guess doing this may sound fun but frankly one who soaks up as many diverse opinions as I can, this is not my 'go to place' and I'm not the only one, BTW. Obviously, lol, more important then you is doing everything in our power to replace our mistake, D.Trmp! I'm angry by reason I feel the Dems should be 5 steps ahead if him. For me, I knew almost 4 years ago he was going to murder us. I knew he was going to steal money from one branch of Gov for something he wanted for himself. Diverting planes on their way to Iraq to his resort which said resort is hurting financially so why not fly out of their way from Germany to refuel at some resort, making the staff/crew spend the night and then putting them through a humiliation by reason of a per diem which was not close to being adaqate! Wanting an inaguration without floats but instead marching soldiers "like in No. Korea!" I write, if I hear the word "unpresidented or we've never been here before from Jon Menachem or the great writers at the top 5 news production, I'm going to scream, lol!" I write "so what, who cares?" What I want to know is what are their plans?? 60 days ago I got on Twitter and just typed in caps "POST OFFICE" "POST OFFICE" "POST OFFICE." Long ago I explained that he had no low, no cap and no low. I said "imagine in your mind with eyes closed the very worst thing this guy can do to hurt our America. Once you get that vision, DOUBLE IT, he will go lower that! G-d willing, if we get him out, you will be needed in the Senate to help with all that contamination. So, I advised 1 other campaign whom you worked with, who will and should retire at the end of her term. She is from California. I don't want to be hired, I just want a good explanation from you as to why you wouldn't spent your most precious years do what you are talented to due and what you should do. I'm going to give you my email address. Knowing how much I believe in you and care, oh I care, please pay me the respect by writing me. I apologise if you feel taken back by my words but if not me, who? Nannette L Nerenberg dustyleah@gmail.com
Wonderful guest!
David is a national treasure & we need to lean on him
Cheers Al!
Really miss you in the Senate 😕

A blessing upon you for saying that.

Sort of the Dem version of Karl Rove.

Both of these men are genius!! I love you Al I have since I first saw you in the Senate!!!♥️❣️♥️
Mensch as well.
@@j.goebbels2134 I've been thinking for years..we need our own Rove, Bannon. It always seems they're playing chess, we're playing go fish.

Thanks Al! We sure could use you back in the senate. I will never forget your questioning Jeff Sessions

Makes me sad. There are similar stories of families getting together on both sides U.S. and Mexico. Innocent and joyful. Gone now
Would an asylum petition for Canadian citizenship be accepted with a stated basis the dominance of tRumpism in US affairs at all levels.

With columnist Christopher Hitchens when he debated with an opponent that constantly lies he would cut off his opponent in mid-lie with a loud proclamation, “A LIE!” Why sit calmly and allow a bald face lie to get air. Hitchens’ incredible rejoinder also helped seal the final score.

I have to say, that was a great podcast Al.
Yeah, for a change.
Please don’t stop saying “and I mean it this time!”. It’s weirdly comforting.
so glad you are back, al. i'm scared too. everyone must vote this year!
I never get sick of you saying that!
Al, thank you💛
what a wonderful conversation
Love you two having a conversation. It is nice to have intelligent discussion.
If trump brings up Joe's kids I'd tell Joe to look right at trump and say "tell u what Donald if u dont bring up my kids I wont bring up yours".
Think of what we could have in this country if democracy were at work: Health care with a public option. A reasonably sound response to a pandemic. A reasonably sound response to the simple practical problem of greenhouse gases clobbering Earth's climate. A reasonably sound response to oligarchs clobbering our democracy.
In other words, reason.🤔 😁
Al. Don’t change the intro. Love your podcast
Biden needs an add with someone telling a story like Axe did regarding his daughter and the aca. Get it out there in circulation now
Mr. Franken,
Thank you for your insight and faithful intelligence. You have motivated my internal thoughts of resolve. I pray God’s peace to us all. You are a great man.
Al...please promote a joke a day from now to election about lump, so he becomes the lying joke he is in everyone's mind.
very pleasant and interesting conversation, loved it Al!
A ray of bright light.
I can hear Biden saying something like, "come on, man...." I hope he drops that.
What a sweet and informative discussion
Biden needs to be smart enough to respond to statements about Hunter by talking about Ivanka, Junior, Eric and Ivanka's husband.
so true but haven't heard much about Hunter lately, seems they realized it wasn't working
@@ellaharris1501 Yup, when more than half of the key RNC speakers were family or girlfriends, maybe they realized it's a dumb track to take.
Biden will have no problem drilling Trump with questions that he won't ever answer. Trump will take the conversation to a childish, dismal, pathetic level only his base will appreciate.

you were right Al, this was a good one (for a change) 👌🏾☝🏿
Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Trumpty had a great fall; all the Rep. Senators and Congressmen couldn’t put Trumpty back together again.
Thank you for the recounting of how we passed the ACA. VERY many of us recruited people to CALL their Congresspeople to PASS THAT BILL! I was working for OFA at the time and I remember the President came on a Skype call with all the volunteers and staffers and he asked us what we wanted MOST, the answer was a comprehensive Healthcare Bill.. as Biden said, it was a BFD!
The Portland mayor told the bald truth, nothing that anyone hasn’t said before but there was something very refreshing about the way he spoke.
My first time listening....very interesting....enjoyed it...and I am in total agreement of what was discussed. Thanks Al...you are a good guy! ⚘
Just came over from Brian Tyler Cohen always been a big fan of Senator Franklin
Hey Al, your podcast isn't Great! It's Greater than Great!
Outstanding Show
Run Al Run!!
super interesting discuss ! thanks Al. Ax is great
Thank You Al and David!! I love both You Guys. Thank You both for Your work on ACA. Good works for Our Nation!
Wonderful conversation.
I loved it!
I get a kick out of reading the various yard signs in my community during this election season.
They vary from "Trump 2020" to "F%#& Trump!" to "Anyone but Trump".
Me/ I'm voting for Joe.
The best one I've seen is in Austin, and reads (five lines in descending order): People Man Woman Vote Biden/Harris
This is Excellent!!!
You are so right about the lies. Trump can't open his mouth without lies flowing out. Great Pod Cast - I need to catch up on the ones I missed!! Al you & Frannie stay safe, healthy and happy. Really miss you in the Senate.
YES YES ...thank you!
What is the name of the Leo Kottke piece which is always played here on the Al Franken Podcast?
Al, please run again we need you back in the senate. TheReaper!
Al's podcast calms me some. Just need to here someone who is not a crazy idiot talk
We are so lucky to have David Axelrod on our [Democratic] side. He's is not only a brilliant strategist but also a man with a heart in the right place, in other words, a "Mensch," first & foremost. Thanks, Al Franken, that was great.
Thanks both of you. I'm in AZ. Your concerns cannot be overstated.
Happy ☀️-day everyone..for a change.

L listened on my podcast app and really enjoyed it.
There are many options to play Trump in debate practice: Jimmy Fallon, JL Cauvin, Sarah Cooper, that kid from 2016, and many more...
loved the love fest today... thanks for the leo picking and when are you running for senate again? your welcome... i mean thanks...
Vote Biden in 2020!
Nice work once again. Thanks
Great conversation! Trump is a horror show. What is scary to me is the milllions of people that think like him. He didn't turn their way of thinking. They believed that way and Trump made it OK to say it out loud and act on it. Makes it normal.

Or, I just turn off Auto Play.
Hey, Al, wish you’d come to CA & run for something. Senator replacing Harris, maybe, after she & Joe win in Nov?

Maybe Martin O'Malley, former governor of Maryland or even current governor, Larry Hogan should have an Irish- American, man to-man telecon with Mr. Biden pre-debate. I know Mr. Biden can't scream Trump off the stage and out of office like O'Malley did to Ken Cuccinelli after the alumni event at their former law school earlier this year (abuses of children at the boarder immigrant facilities), but I'm betting he can bring to bear some homespun, Irish wisdom, a reminder for Joe Biden to keep top of mind.
BTW: Is Sarah Cooper being included in the debate prep? She does Trump better than Trump's (phoney) act does! It's all acting! She would be a very important addition to the prep. (See Sarah Cooper and Kamala Harris talking on you tube.) I don't always agree with Biden ( esp. Anita Hill hearings / Clarence Thomas' despicable SCOTUS nomination), but I respect that like President Obama, Biden is neither fake nor phoney! That means everything! Pls remind country of this -- what honor, bravery and courage really mean! Remember John McCain! Don't let Cadet Bone Spurs get best of you, us and our beloved country! Counting on you!
Disliked only because there are too many ads and they’re the type that interrupt. Intolerable.
If they ask certain questions the right way, those things he denies ever saying will probably come out.
Maybe a reference to the total taxes paid by the fortune 500 the year before and the year after T rumps budget went into effect would help people understand the cost which limits what can be done to help the " PEOPLE " now.
Maybe Sarah Cooper can model (channel) trump for debate prep for Biden!
Who plays Trump in Biden's mock debates?
Debating Trump is like pulling out your demon pokes to counteract his sharp-tooth, monster ones.
The question is how you debate against lies? And if you think voters want to hear the truth, you're mistaken. People want to know that you will do anything for them, and that includes lying.
Why wouldn’t Al Franken run for senate again?
How absolutely ironic and disgusting a TRUMP commercial interrupted while I was l listening to your Pod Cast...thank goodness the next one was for the ASPCA!!! You Tube should let the people putting their things on to approve or stop what ads are inserted during their time on!!!
Senator Franken: I read only 1 of your books, that's all I needed to read. Your experience in the Senate. I never watched you on SNL. I listened to you while on the Senate floor and have held you in high esteem ever since. My heart was/is broken by reason of you leaving, pushed out by the Dems because Dems eat Dems. I listened to this last night, didn't sleep trying to figure out how to get your attention. I've chosen this venue.
What can we say to convince you to form a mostly female task force specifically for through investigation into past accusations by women, said accusations which provided for the Dems to feel it was time to eat another Dem. This task force which you will name so that ppl can exhaust them not you in asking questions on past 'behavior' for the sake of this writing. I'm very serious. "The organization of our campaign is set up so that a committee or task force who has investigated all concerned issues, have been their one and only job. They know more than me and this gives me more valuable time to speak directly to you regarding ideas to rebuild our Democracy." You see, it will take at least 1 decade to discover what Trump and his hundreds of tentacles have don't to ruin relationships with our allies, changes made to weaken our defense, pillars contiminated and what was stolen. Then it's going to take 2 decades to reassure, rebuild, replenish, mend, and all along educate the American ppl who need to be able to turn their energy back to their own productivity and let this Country take 1 or many collective deep breaths!
You need to be back to the job of lawmaking. I guess doing this may sound fun but frankly one who soaks up as many diverse opinions as I can, this is not my 'go to place' and I'm not the only one, BTW.
Obviously, lol, more important then you is doing everything in our power to replace our mistake, D.Trmp! I'm angry by reason I feel the Dems should be 5 steps ahead if him. For me, I knew almost 4 years ago he was going to murder us. I knew he was going to steal money from one branch of Gov for something he wanted for himself. Diverting planes on their way to Iraq to his resort which said resort is hurting financially so why not fly out of their way from Germany to refuel at some resort, making the staff/crew spend the night and then putting them through a humiliation by reason of a per diem which was not close to being adaqate! Wanting an inaguration without floats but instead marching soldiers "like in No. Korea!"
I write, if I hear the word "unpresidented or we've never been here before from Jon Menachem or the great writers at the top 5 news production, I'm going to scream, lol!" I write "so what, who cares?" What I want to know is what are their plans?? 60 days ago I got on Twitter and just typed in caps "POST OFFICE" "POST OFFICE" "POST OFFICE."
Long ago I explained that he had no low, no cap and no low. I said "imagine in your mind with eyes closed the very worst thing this guy can do to hurt our America. Once you get that vision, DOUBLE IT, he will go lower that!
G-d willing, if we get him out, you will be needed in the Senate to help with all that contamination.
So, I advised 1 other campaign whom you worked with, who will and should retire at the end of her term. She is from California. I don't want to be hired, I just want a good explanation from you as to why you wouldn't spent your most precious years do what you are talented to due and what you should do.
I'm going to give you my email address. Knowing how much I believe in you and care, oh I care, please pay me the respect by writing me.
I apologise if you feel taken back by my words but if not me, who?
