Al Franken was brilliant at asking piercing questions when he was on any Senate committee
He was inconsistent.
He needs to run for reelection. Full stop.
@@1223steffen Inconsistently inconsistent.
As in, he was consistent.
He was also a sexual predator
@@1223steffen NOT true and YOU have zero proof of that
Come back Al. We need you in the Senate.
@David Williamson HEAR HEAR !
Al, you are needed back in The Senate or in politics. Your brutal honesty and humor are so missed.
@@NeilNewsNetwork she didn’t seem to care for all those years until Roger Stone goaded her. It was a comedic picture in bad taste and nothing more.
@@NeilNewsNetwork that was NEVER substantiated by anyone. Ring wing smear campaign. Now that he’s out of office, how come they are not all suing him and there were zero criminal or civil lawsuits against him.Just admit it’s nonsense
@@NeilNewsNetwork he’s NOT rich and has no real power. You just can’t admit there were no lawsuits because the allegations had no truth. Give it up, there is no factual basis to that. Just right wing baseless accusations
@@NeilNewsNetwork Just curious -- did you believe the pseudo-millionaire and pathological liar politician who went to bat for his Supreme Court nominee or the very credible, brave woman who testified before Congress that he had committed sex crimes against her when they were in high school?
@@NeilNewsNetwork he was immediately made to resign. He had no power. Trumps accusers all came forward with specific allegations. Don’t tell me Al Franken has more power than the Presidential candidate. The only excuse for them NOT coming forward or suing him was it was a big nothing burger. What about all those women who came forward against NY Governor Andrew Cuomo. Lots of power and money
We need Al.....We want Al.... You are a saint compared to other members still in power.
You are incorrect on that one.
Al, you should have said, "I'll resign for my mis-deeds when Trump does."
EXACTLY! 👏
When Biden does too.
@@1223steffen F off dude. Go back to fox news and your crack pipe.
Exactly that's why I can no longer support him.
@@1223steffen Not a finer man on earth than Joe Biden. If you have a problem with Biden it's you that is wacky.
We need you back sir.This man is very honest.
Al Franken admitted to sexually assaulting multiple women.
My mother lived to be 90, and if someone had said that to her on her 90th birthday, she would have laughed till she cried.
He shouldn't have resigned.
I’m glad
@Clem T, I'm pretty sure he knows that.
Agree
Should've never been in senate in the first place
He molested sleeping women
Always remember that you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
Sen. Al Franken is bright enough and smart enough and gosh darn it people like him. Run Franken run
Yes run Franken run. Run from that photo of you being a pervert.
@@clarkhull7546, you realize no one can feel anyone up when they're wearing a flak jacket, right? That's what made it comical.
@@S.Pociecha Ahhh...of course. That's what made it comical. Brilliant!!
I freaking love Al Frankin.
Gloria! I second that love to the hundredth degree. This man is for the people!
Oh I do too!
Communism Sucks, and so do you.
Me too!!! I just think he’s great and really really smart!!🥰♥️☮️
I know, I do too. He got a raw deal.
He is smart enough and good enough! People like him!
Gosh darn it, I do...
And dog gone it, I like him too !! 🤗
Yes perverts do like him in that photo
To anyone that says they don't like him I say: denial ain't just a river in Egypt!
Just saw him speak in Austin, Tx. in December - always admired him, and now couldn't adore him more! We need more smart comedians in public service!
i know where they found a good use for comedians in politics. get this man a gun
Like President Zelenskiyy
I had the honor of listening to his daily radio shows for 3 years. Voting for him is one of my best votes, I knew he was well prepared for what he wanted to do.
Lol, no. We need more capable professionals in office who can work to get something done, not another mouthpiece that says a lot, but does nothing. Can you name even one of his accomplishments in the Senate?
I love Al Franken, too! I'd like to see him back in politics.
I miss Al Franken. We need him back in the Senate.
He was railroaded by his own party! I’m still mad at the Dems for that. He asked for an investigation to prove his innocence, & they refused. Their rush to judgment is just as wrong as the Repubs’ tolerance of bad behavior and lack of integrity!
@@newgmodo5609 not only do I feel his allegations were the least founded but that he also handled it with grace and respect. I'd welcome him back without question, he was a tough nut when he needed to be.
Al, run for Senate again. Let the state of Minnesota decide. I for one refuse to give up on democracy.
@@newgmodo5609 they did investigate
@Tessmage Tessera so? He had nine accusations.
I had the privilege of catching Al's show in Ithaca last year. He was fabulous!
I wish Al would run again. We need a strong intelligent voice in Congress.
I totally agree.I wish he would run again.Most definitely.
*He never should have resigned.*
Agreed!
He should run for President.
He was a Senator.
Al Franken your humor is really funny. I can only imagine when you were in the Senate how you kept your Democratic colleagues in stitches by laughing with your jokes behind the scenes.
Always look forward to listening to your podcasts. 👍
“…and then I started thinking of her 90 year old son.” Got me Franken! 😂
I Love Al Franken! I was a server of his at Chesters in Rochester MN back when he was still a senator about 7 years ago. Please run for office again Al, you’re deeply missed.
I'm a lifelong MN resident (with the exception of a few college years). I thought he was an excellent senator. I wish he hadn't resigned.
Agree
I would agree, but I think it was needed for the time, and I think it's better for him to not be a senator. He seems to be doing better.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 COME BACK AL. WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I miss your Senator Franklin, and please come back! Our Democracy is at risk!
RUN FOR SENATOR AGAIN DAMNIT. WE NEED YOU AL!!
Run AL Run please!!!
We love you, Al. Wish you had not resigned. As with apologies, it's always those with the most integrity resign.
I would vote for you again Al! Please consider running again
Al Franken would be great if he came back as senator!!!
why can't we get someone good instead?
one of the greatest senators we have ever had. please come back.
Franken was a smart and thoughtful senator. I wish he would run again. I know he made a mistake but compared to Trump he is a choir boy.
Nine women
How many people trump paid to have an abortion? I like that Johnny Carson bit you did there.
I’m not convinced he made those “mistakes “. He was effective and people loved him.
@@1223steffen is a thin softball team.
It was a put up job. He was getting too popular.
Yes, Al. Just say yes; throw your hat in the ring again. We.NEED your 'candid' observations to keep us going... better laughing than... well, ya know. Geezes we miss you!
I miss my senator too. I wrote and begged him to remain my Minnesota senator. To leave over an accusation that happened year's ago when he was on SNL
So?
Watched this at 3am and almost woke my family 😆😆🤣🤣😂
The Great Al Franken~! We love you.
Brilliant guy all around. Surely a loss for Minnesotans not having him in the Senate. Definitely a loss for Americans.
lol funny. Al was an assaulter
I agree, we really miss you Al.
I wish All Franken was Senator Franken.again
Frankly, almost everyone in my family, even at age 110, would have thought the congrats letter was funny. We have what my dad used to call a "warped sense of humor". (got it from him).
I wish Al would run again.
I’m still angry that he was pressured to resign from Congress. It was just a terrible miscarriage of justice and I believe Kirsten Gillibrand had a lot to do with it.
I agree. Al was set up
Why?
@@moiramccleary2413 how?
fyi…al franken was a senator, not a congressman…but other than that, i 100% agree…
@@bonnie.duncan FYI.… Congress is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives
I can’t believe they kicked him out and Matt Gaetz is still going strong. Yargh!
Yeah. What's up with that?!?
Boebert and MTGreen can be in Congress but Franken can’t. That is a shame. Franken is so smart and so funny. Where did we go this wrong?
Senator franken took responsiblity for his mistakes unlike those two morons.
Because he sexually assaulted 13 women. The other two simply have a different view on the issues than you.
@@darindunn 13 women???? Are you fucking serious? Thats a bullshit story. Take off you social warrior tin foil helmet and wake the fuck up. He resigned over a stupid fucking photo. Yet his republican accuser slapped asses on stage and laughed it off. Yet everyone else in congress gives a free pass to Boebert, Taylor Green, Matt Gates, Gosar ect.. should I go on?
Frankin’s only crime was being a progressive. That is why the corporate dems shoved him out. So sorry he resigned.
Who's "we?"
Who wouldn't want to receive a sarcastic "thank you" letter from Al Franken?? Lol I would!
laugh out loud this morning watching this - common denominator is great humor - thanks
Al Franken -
Probably won’t get to see him on tour but would love to see him back in the senate
You would win a senate run hands down!!!! Please run for office again!!!
Al is one of the greatest!
Al Franken you are one of the best. Love seeing Jimmy laugh out loud with his whole body.😂
Put this man back in the Senate.
Put him back in the Senate with a blown up photo of him being a pervert behind his desk.
We desperately need him back.It will happen.
NO! No more celebrities.
goddamnit, we need al franken back in politics!
Pelosi ended up doing the sarcastic clap!
We stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
Mr Franken, I am a big fan of your PODCAST 👍 Thank you 🙏 and greetings from Germany
I LOVE AL FRANKEN! I thought he was a great Senator.
I've heard the "you have a bright future" joke several times and it still cracks me up! :D
We need you "Al Franken" back in the Senate.
The Nancy Pelosi clap
That clap was meant to be so patronizing, and it was...tear, rip.
We really miss you in congress, Al.
I don’t he is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen
Run Al Run! We know your thinking about it. 😍
Chuck and politicians like him is why Democrats loose! Al needs to come back!
Why is jimmy the only one lauging hysterically? This isnt funny
@@hounddog3476 Jimmy is an overlaugher to try to make his show seem funnier. Al is funny enough for real.
I wish he would run for office. I miss him
Al Franken is so awesome 👌🏼
Perverts also believe he was awesome in that photo.
I remember AL on SNL playing a reporter on seen and he had a Sat. dish for a hat. At the time a Sat dish on a truck would have been 8' across. He was funny and ahead of his time.
Never should’ve left the senate
Liked him even more as my senator than as a comedian.
If he was ever a comedian then I'm the emperor of Russia.
@@clarkhull7546 he’s one of the original writers on snl and you’re still not the emperor of Russia
@@guydavidknollcomedy That still doesn't make him funny. Comparing him to great comedy is like comparing Justin Bieber to Led Zeppelin.
Yes, Al needs to return to office. Perhaps, our next President.
Yes! He would be a great president imo.
I find him funny & enjoyed his books, AL the senate & America needs you back 😉
My absolute favourite Al Franken character was Stuart Smally...My best friend and I would watch those skits on SNL and tears would literally be streaming down our faces. The best one of those was when Michael Jordan was a guest. Absolutely hilarious. 🤣💖
Grabs women on the breasts. Great guy!
Omg, yes! The Michael Jordan episode!!!! 🤣
Also loved his Pat Robertson.
John, I guess you forgot that your guy is on tape bragging about grabbing women by their genitals. More right wing hypocrisy.
@@johnlennon1970 Sophomoric pose in a photo... not actual grabbing. Poor taste, sure. Want to talk about some of the Republican congress and senators and their misdeeds?
I've always loved Al Franken. I remember seeing his signs across my city and him being elected as a kid.
What a tragic loss to democracy. He is still a gift to us all. I'm So Grateful.
We need him back in senate
I was so mad when Al Franken was pressured to resign from the Senate. The accusations were so bogus told by some true low rent low lives. It is great to see him doing comedy again because he is truly a funny guy but very thoughtful and intelligent as well.
Another political hit job. Dems fall for it every time. Same with Gov Cuomo. I didn't vote for Kathy. How about next time respond "After you."
@@BrunetteOnTheCouch Cuomo is guilty as sin. I’m a democrat but Cuomo is guilty and Biden lost my vote when he was accused.
@@BrunetteOnTheCouch Who is Kathy? Also, respond "after you" to what?
@@BrunetteOnTheCouch Cuomo is guilty
So that photo of him being a pervert was bogus?
Al needs a beer stein. Then he could call it Franken's stein...
good on! made this 'ole lady lmfao!!
Loved the sarcastic clap! 😂
Pelosi kinda did the sarcastic clap. Funny af.
I hoped Franken would be the 2020 Candidate.
Al, come back. We NEED YOU...(!)
Love Al's podcast. ❤❤❤️ 💯
"her 90 year old son..." Hahahahaha
You've got a bright future! And then I thought about her ninty year old son! Cracked me up!!!!!🤣😅😝
Al you shouldn’t have left - you let the lepers expose a pimple and win. I’m not blaming you, but we need you back.
Al Franken: I DID'NT INTERNALIZE IT. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You got a Bright Future...son 90 years old....too Funny!
Love you, Al Franken!!!
Al Franken was a victim of excessive, unthinking, WOKE politics. I’m a progressive and respect everyone, but no one is perfect and, as Franken would say, lighten up people.
Terrific!!! Put your daughter in that photo and tell everyone to lighten up.
@@clarkhull7546 Emotional, non-rational reaction. Wokeness misses the point. If you’ve never done anything you’re not proud of then you’re lying. If you’re Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby, etc. and have made a habit of abusing people, then you deserve correction…whatever that means. But if you’ve lived a wide-ranging life with lots of experiences such as Al Franken or Garrison Keillor, then you’ve probably slipped up somewhere along the line. But if you’ve done well, tried your best, been a benefit to society for 99.9999 percent of your life, then a screwup or two that never really hurt anyone don’t rise to the level of destroying a career.
@@Nicksonian No I'm not perfect, but I've certainly NEVER done anything like that. He was 50 years old at the time not some 15 year old punk. If your telling me you'd have no problem with seeing your daughter in a photo like for the entire nation to see then your just as bad as him. If this is comedy for you get your head examined.
@@clarkhull7546 Let’s put it this way: Who deserves to be forced from the Senate more, a guy who did a stupid, momentary prank, or an entire group of senators who supported one of the most shameful, traitorous, unAmerican acts in US history-the violent insurrection on the Capitol in which they “serve,” and shirking their Constitutional duty by being complicit in trying to stop a duly and fairly elected man from becoming President of the United States? Not only should the insurrection supporter senators be forced from the office, they should face indictment. Many who were gleeful at seeing Franken’s downfall, are just fine with a significant portion of senators shamefully putting party over country. Or to make another comparison, which is worse, Franken’s stupid prank or Ted Cruz holding office without a brain?
@@Nicksonian You Democrats will do and say anything to deflect from the issue. Were you upset when Antifa had the city of Portland under lockdown for 47 days? As bad as Jan 6th was, it was 1 day. Not 47 days which was left-wing radicals taking over Portland. This was simply about an overrated comedian who has said and done A LOT of stupid things.
Al Franken Giant Of The Senate & Comedy Sarcasm!
Reminds me of the SNL sketch "Sarcastic Clapping Family" with Kevin Bacon! 🤣
Love Al Franken.
I miss Al Franken.
He should be the next POTUS
His comedic style is one of the closest comparisons to Norm Macdonald’s in my opinion. Nobody can be Norm but Franken is great.
@@NeilNewsNetwork you just mischaracterized both of them
@@janelliot5643 he sure did.One shot,two misses.
Al's comedy style is closest in comparison to Gregory Peck's.
Love him … love Al….
He still takes those pauses like when he did Stuart Smalley on SNL. I’d always assumed that quirk was him puttin’ that on for the character; for comedic effect.
Got to see Al in Portland, he did an hour n a half, it seemed like a half hour, brilliant!
Please Al Franken runs for office. You are great. The less PRO-fascist retrumpublicans we have in the government the better America will become. Vote BLUE while it counts 2022 and 2024.
Grabs women on the breasts. Great guy!
@@johnlennon1970 are you serious, that was all bullshit
@@johnlennon1970 *pretended to grab
Fixed it for you
@@johnlennon1970 ,🤣 😂 😝 😆 Bahahaha!!! He was a comedian pet. We been there and done that, have you been asleep? You must follow detail of the story, DON'T JUST READ ONLY HEADLINE. Otherwise you are making a fool out of yourself. LMAO.
He should have said re: trump's SotU address, "not so moving -- more like a bowel movement."
Good one!
Love you, Al! 🧡
We need you in government please! This coming from a minnesotan.
We need him back.
Damn Al, you are so funny!! How's it feel not being a Senator anymore? LOL
We need Al back !!!!!
This is my ONE FALLON VIDEO FOR THE YEAR. I came to see Al.
Baby Come Back! We Need & Miss you Al.
