Senator Al Franken: Giant of the Senate 

I like this host, smart and well prepared!

What a loss for Minnesota and the country for this man to not be in public service today. 😢😢 (2021)

Thank you Al Franken for representing Minnesota. You may not speak for all of us but you do for me. Thank you

Al Franken is such a good person. I wish we still had him in the Senate. He gets it.

57:11 got me teary eyed. Al Franken is an extremely genuine man. He's also quite funny. Very easy to love, if not, like, Al Franken. You have a bright future Al.

It was so interesting, and a little nostalgic, to watch this in November 2021. I grew up in Minnesota and so feel an affection for it and its most humorous Senator. I hope Senator Franken will consider returning to public service. In the meantime I enjoy his podcasts

I miss Al being in the Senate so much! A real American treasure we need right now!

Love Al Franken..... this was as great interview... thank you!

I have the utmost respect for this man as a comic and a politician but even more as a human …

I miss this guy being in the Senate and was happy to see him on tour! He can still contribute a lot to the national conversation using his humor and experience.

Wish he would run again

When you look at some of the senators we have today, Al Franken should still have his seat.

You are a great job of calling out what what we need to change this country

I really enjoyed this downtown to earth regular guy. Very humorous while being informative.

We miss you in the Senate Al. You never should have resigned.

In Northern California we had crab dinners. Long live our fishermen. Great unionists. You try being away from your immediate family for 6-8 months on a boat near Alaska, and tell me that's not a hard job.

Hi Al. I fell in love with you in 1980! I still am. If you are on media, I'm there! (And I've never even been to Minnesota)

"and that's why I'm a Democrat " One of the most noble sentiments one can aspire to. Everyone does better

Wow! That was a wonderful interview.

Thanks AL, you're great

Please vote Al back into the Senate!!! They booted him and now we have people like Rubio, Cruz and Paul.??? Really, bring decency back.

So Franken is one of our most brilliant leaders. Run for Congress again or the presidency

If Franken ran again in MN he knows he would win. Hope he does.

Franken is an incredible person .

Al is constantly hysterical!

Love you AL 💗.

We miss you Al. Please run again.

Just another of the trillion or so reasons why I love Al Franken.

You have a bright future 😂

Thank you for bring Ted in question.

I worked on the recount for AL when he ran against Norm Coleman in 2009 . It was worth it. Coleman did nothing for the people. AL is a great representative of the Minneapolis area people. And us minnesotans swear just like he does.

Very good and eye opening.

He made some incredibly prescient statements about Trump and the Republican party.

I wish he would run for President because I would vote for him in a heart beat.

This guy gives me faith.

I really miss Air America

I , unfortunately , missed this show when it first aired. But I'm really happy that I found it ; even though I'm Quite a few years late. I think AL Frankin is a Brilliant man. And should've Never removed himself from the Senate. That joke that he said was just NOT scandalous enough for him to be asked to resign from his U.S. Senate Seat ! He was unique in the way he would "sometimes" use comedy as a sort of humorous tool when in discussions with fellow Senator's. I'd say at least 75% of his constituents were just Fine with a little humor. I can't stress enough how much I admire Al Frankin. And , I have to admit , I absolutely LOVE when he speaks about ted cruz. And the heartless , un-compassionate , and extreme-ignorance he reflects in the Senate. AL Frankin in a "One of a kind" , intelligent man. Wish he would try to return to the Senate. 🙏

excellent

Run run again Al we so need you in the white house.

Love you AL!

It's September 2022 and this is still good and funny! Love Al!

You poor baby! Growing up in the shadow of Herman the German! NOOOOOO! Now I love you even more. Survivor!

😳what happened? The Republicans poured out the ethic committees for Trump's personal plight of circumventing rules of law... Why wouldn't they give one to review for a Senator, especially when the formal due process of request was met? But TY for this. It is always the change for the better, being able to listen to a no nonsense lawmaker that keeps a healthy sense of humor... 😷stay safe, stay healthy

In todays political climate, im uncertain if Al wouldve been allowed a fair recount.....:(

enjoyed

I extremely Hope That Senator Al Franken Runs again For Public Office. Maybe President in 2016 The Candidate who one had ALOT more Accusation against him and him Served for 4 f..... Years. Al Franken is an Honest Descent Man.

Planned Parenthood also provides MEN with health care !!!

If Al Franken can survive and actually thrive after a campaign where his opponent connected beastiality and Franken, he can survive the Presidential campaign

And ya’re the best!

Al Franken "Giant of the Presidency" 2020

Enjoyed this presentation. Luv Al, just got his latest book. What I found most rude, was the way Judge Cordell kept fussing with her note book & doing her filing. Very distracting.

Thank you for bringing Senator AL Frankin back afterward Someone set him up. .heciszaGPOD SENATIR.😊

I miss AL too. It is a shame that the woman and AL couldn't join forces to understand perceptions.

A hit piece took out Franken in DC where no one has a sense of humor.

Please share with other people my two brief videos. Thank you!

Is a national position in Al’s future ?

Might have been a better interview had the interviewer had a sense of humor. Amazing to see an actual judge who just does not get it. Most of the time she just seems befuddled by Franken's humor.

can you name one thing of significance he did when he was in office.?

Who is the interviewer?

Everyone has the right to live and not be drugged.

"Yes. Planned Parenthood offers services for men. STI screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. Counseling and testing for HIV. Condoms. Counseling and referrals for free or low-cost Vasectomy.

I guess we learned that jokesters have things in their past that can hurt them in politics.

What a piece of ship!!!

Hi Mary Hope youre havi g a great eve i ng. I Mm Have agreat evening. Your frie❤nd Ralph.

I am sure it wasn’t difficult.

Dem constituents stayed silent...... Sorry Senator. Dems too LAZY!!! Thank you for your service! Marinemomof3 ♥️🇺🇲

Al shouldn't have resigned because of a bawdy Bob Hope-type joke.

The FrankenGroper

Next Presidential administration, Franken/Warren 2020 or sooner if you can swing it.

If you could clone Al Franken and Bernie Saunders, Michael Moore, just to name a few good men, and fill all the seats in government, you might actually become great again, love from Canada. And you might have some laughs along the way!!!

A Dubs - KD trade has become the most overused line in comedy today!

Al Franken was a better senator than he was a comic.

Why wasnt there a public option, Al. Wtf is this moderator for?

Trump destroying White House tableware is a violation of Title 18 USC Section 1361. Penalties even where destruction is less than $100 can be as much as $100,000 and/or one year in jail.

I meant Franken to be in that Clinton, Warren, Sanders, twit. FRANKEN also! Sorry about that. Would you consider? The run? Problem, we already have a funny president. But bad funny, unfortunately. Seriously bad funny! Ouch bad.

Pull this bill, over ‘pull this finger’, though as the phrase that pays ~ goes that, ‘©️omedy 🎭 is Sincerity, 🦋ïth a Cherry 🍒 on 🔝 ‘✅ •☂️🦘

One of the most evil men to ever walk the face of the earth.

Pivoting is for sociopaths

I love Al but the Buddy Hacket joke …I mean come on

Al Franken, a stellar example of liberal self love.

Just think if Gillebrand wasn't desperate to impress the progressives, Frankenstein would still be a Senator.

your explanation of lobbyists grows tiresome. now is the part where we dance.

Terrible loss

Sad what the Democrats did to you. Must be because they did not like how you fought for the little guy.

Q: where is the democratic party headed for? A: ramble ramble strong middle class rambe ramble ramble trump blah

Giant of the Senate ??? He is a Great comedian and entertainer and had no business being in the halls of the Senate except as a citizen

"Giant of the Senate"? If you were ever around the guy, you$'d know Al Frankin ain't as smart as you think &, in fact, he's a weenie...

Al Franken: Giant horse's rear end

And now pervert

A giant pervert of the senate. He fits right in.
