I'm a Minnesotan, and I can assure anyone that I'm very-very proud to call Senator Franken ours. You should all be so lucky!

@justinscott4503 3 года назад

His questioning of judicial nominees while on the judiciary committee were cringe worthy at best. He’s clearly funny but lacks a certain intellectual honesty when exercising his responsibility to advise and consent.

@selominok869 6 лет назад

I swear I enjoy every moment when Franken is laughing

@BatmanHQYT 6 лет назад

Glad to see Franken having gotten over this show's so-called "controversy" so soon. Always a joy seeing him do these interviews, he's very funny and candid

@MegaTonyng 4 года назад

We need Al back in the Senate !!

Why can't we have more people like Al Franken in politics... If he ever ran for Pres, I'd vote for him hands down

@nancymesek 6 лет назад

S Lee He's good in many ways, but not supporting single payer disqualifies him in my book.

@LRF49 6 лет назад

Franken knows single payer is not an efficient system. You think Americans will stand getting taxed up the ass? If you think so, then you haven't been paying attention for the past year. look who we have as president.

@tenofivelips 6 лет назад

We have a very good model of single payer, it's called Medicare. People are already paying ridiculous amounts for insurance. The insurance & pharmaceutical companies are the ones making money. The pricing structure needs to be changed, like other civilized countries. Stop thinking Americans have to pay for it and start demanding politicians stop getting their kick backs and start working for us. That's the trick, you see, they are taxing you up the ass, they're just not calling it taxes, they're calling it premiums.

@Jake-lc8um 6 лет назад

Single Payer will never happen in this country. Both parties have an incurable case of corporate money. Plus the public healthcare systems only work when we have lots of healthy people and few sick people. It would have worked well say in the 1960s when everyone was much healthier. By 2040 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes and 40% will be obese. No public healthcare system can sustain so many unhealthy people.

Al Franken appeared at the ethical Society in St Louis with Left Bank books, talking about his book giant of the Senate. It was a great evening and everyone enjoyed it. He had a lot of good stories.

"Sewn into the fabric of his horror quilt" My God but Maher gives us the best phrases!

@jeraldbrewer6087 6 лет назад

His new book is VERY funny, but it is also very EDUCATIONAL. I thought I knew a lot about politics in general, but I learned new things about workaday effort that goes into trying to make the nation work inside the Beltway & out in Minnesota. It is a GREAT & fun read.

@rckblzr 4 года назад

I'm glad Franken's gone. He's a self-serving snake who only cared about his image when he cancelled his appearances with Kathy Griffin and Bill. No wonder no one wanted to stand up for him.

@emperorpalpatine2531 3 года назад

He said he regretted resigning. I think he should have stayed in the senate until everyone forgot about it.

@alexc773 6 лет назад

They really need to just let the guest from this segment of the show walk off after the interview is done. I know it was cut off in this clip, but it's always a little embarrassing when the guest gets up to leave and then they tell them to sit back down. And it happens pretty much every week!

@johnbranscombe3817 6 лет назад

I am not an American but it seems to me that single payer is the American political equivalent of a cyanide pill. It would poison his chances now for races he's in in the future. The Right would use it against him very well. ("Franken is a Communist that wants to demolish an industry that employs 40 million Americans... etc.) It would be far better for him to withhold his stand on it until in a position where he could actually put it forward with some real chance of success. It makes sense to almost every other civilized country in the world (and many that are not so civilized) but the USA. The reason for healthcare being so expensive in the US is largely due to having a cancerous tumor that has spread to every part of the health care system. Most other countries see no reason for such a parasite tagging along for the ride.

@LRF49 6 лет назад

because he knows that single payer is not feasible. The countries that have single payer, are starting to ration healthcare because of the rising cost. Ask the UK about it.

Single payer or I don't really care. We need a democrat with the guts to stand with the middle class and tell corporate money to go to hell. Anything else is just noise.

@lloydb4469 6 лет назад

You'll never hear that message from Bill Maher who's nothing but a Clinton Democrat

@gin3868 6 лет назад

Clinton democrats aren't democrats, they love corporations, they're basically republican light.

@alanfriesen9837 6 лет назад

Clinton Democrats are Democrats. If you can't see the difference between us and Republicans then your perspective eccentric. I know it bothers you that we're realists, pragmatists and unwilling to shoot sunshine up everybody in order to collect votes, but we really do care about you and the rest of the country. We just believe that the most effective way to move us in the right direction is to progress in achievable segments. Admittedly, sometimes the party needs a more visionary direction. That's why progressive Democrats are also welcome in the party. It's important that we all recognize each other as political brethren because when we don't we get Republicans in office, and there's nothing light about their agenda.

@AlekWheeler 6 лет назад

Wow...what profoundly insightful logic. You could damn near say GOP are just Dem lite

@belmiris1371 6 лет назад

In what way? Dems are 'supposed' to represent progressive change that helps the working class and poor while the GOP is 'supposed' to resist all change to keep the rich and powerful in power by using nut-jobs and fanatics to get votes. The GOP is doing it's job very well ATM. The Dems are just taking bribes and spewing nonsense about the freedom to use bathrooms. Giving dogs to veterans is a very nice thing but we are all kind of hoping to get SOME of the wonderful things the rest of the first world has for everybody.

@mr.fibonacci6292 6 лет назад

Bill is so damn sensitive. Has anyone ever watched his interviews with Colbert, he can't take any heat or jokes aimed towards him. For a master comedian he is quite the softy.

@youre100right3 6 лет назад

To be fair, Colbert was being hostile for no reason in the beginning of both their interviews. So yeah, I'd expect Maher to be a little pissed off by the middle of the conversation. Same thing happens here. I love Al Franken but he was way more dismissive than he had to be, which makes me suspect maybe deep down he doesn't like Maher. He does this in other interviews too though.

@screwyootube1 6 лет назад

I think he (Al) was just trying to be funny. Perhaps Bill wants to control when to be funny and when to answer questions.

@youre100right3 6 лет назад

I think one problem here was Bill was asking a very specific question "After this week, how will Trump affect the senators" but Al Franken wasn't really answering the question. Franken is always emphasizing bipartisanship and working together while Maher wants to bring out the more hostile, comedic guy that Franken used to be.

Al Franken, master of the pivot. Asked about Senators standing up against Trump, pivots to healthcare.

@BatmanHQYT 6 лет назад

Is it just me or did Bill come off as rather aggressive in this interview, at least with his tone? He has a well-known habit of interrupting his guests but he seemed to do so very emphatically here, as if he and Al were at some fundamental disagreement (even though it was the opposite situation). Maybe he was just a bit nervous since Al canceled his original appearance after the N-bomb shitshow
