@@yellowwducky I have reason to believe that the most famous of those photos was _faked_ in Photoshop. The EXIF headers (showing that the photo was taken three days _before_ Tweeden claimed it was in her story, which is a key detail - and also that the photo had been saved out of Photoshop v7 [then-current version] the very week that Franken was finally seated into the Senate after Norm Coleman conceded [providing the motive], years after the photo was taken), the fact that _only Franken_ is casting a deep dark shadow (which could only exist if there were no other lighting in the USO show military copter cargo bay [which in turn could only happen if the lights were out, which they never would be barring some malfunction] except for one source such as a camera flash [except that the EXIF headers also say that the Flash was _Off!])_ and neither Tweeden nor anyone else nor any object (not even the frames of Franken’s eyeglasses onto his own face!) is casting a shadow like that, and the smoking gun: what appears to be a _masking error_ on Franken’s right pinkytip that makes it look chopped off at a vertical angle - exactly the sort of thing you get when you use the Pen tool to draw a masking spline curve around an object and mistakenly do a click instead of a click-and-drag on one of the vertices and so get a straight line segment instead of a spline curve with control handles at that part of the mask), among other things. Oh, and that Roger Stone tweeted twice about this the day _before_ Tweeden announced her claims and showed that photo on her website, and that the very next day Roger tweeted a joke photo showing Franken in that same pose, masking error on pinkytip and all, but horizontally flipped and rotated a bit, seeming to grab at _Hillary Clinton’s_ chest. Quick work, that, unless he _already had_ the masked layer of Franken handy.

Trump was so transparently trying to conspire to fraudulently change election results - with such ease and lack of hesitancy, that you just sense that it wasn't the first phone call of that nature. He's been making phone calls like that for decades in his fraudulent business history and surely continuing without interruption in his political career. This is just one that the recording got out. I wonder how many other states he called in clear pursuit of stealing the election. They really need to arrest and prosecute for this. CLEARLY criminal. I can envision a long line/parade of Secretaries of State as witnesses for the prosecution, testifying that they, too, were personally contacted by Trump attempting to get them to change their state's vote results.

First of all, there is no way that Trump didn't make that exact phone call to people in each of the swing states that he lost. Georgia might be the only one who recorded the call, and surprisingly made it public. Secondly, if those states all went along and "found" the votes needed to overturn the vote, there wouldn't be any accountability afterwards. That would have been the moment when America became an autocracy. Trump learned a big lesson in 2016: cheating at this level means the winner makes the rules going forward.

Wow! I'm truly impressed, I always thought you were funny as a comedian, I like even more when you are serious, you are so eloquent and right on, you go boy!
Ps: you deserve an award for this grand speech.
Thank you for summing all this up for me in your Franken way. I have been a bit puzzled on her recent epiphany and glad to know why I was having a sudden respect for her. You got it going on
Former guy's voice [in that call] sounds exactly like when a child had a crying tantrum, and tries to talk, and convince his parents why he should get his way [even though he was misbehaving].
Yep, I call that his really bad lying voice
Trump is, and always has been Francis Buxton from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.
Trumptantrum after TRUMPLOST
You slayed!
Keep these videos coming Al. You're hysterical and we love and miss you!
"Award winning CZcams Videos." Still the comedian.
By the way, Al. Your life expectancy went up 10 more years when you were chased out of Congress by your fellow peers.
My new favorite phrase, "any idiot, and that includes Ron Johnson".
Right on.
Doesn't that go without saying? LOL
@@alfresco4976 Well, yes. But it's like doubling down.
@@alfresco4976 Johnson is that much of an idiot, it needs to be repeated!! 🤣
Pot calling the kettle black.
A great loss to the Senate! Your people need you back, Al.
I live in another state and if I could draft this man to be my senator or Governor I would
@@1223steffen who cares
For the sake of common sense put this man back in the Senate.
I agree with everything you said! We miss you! I'm definitely not a Cheney fan, but applaud her for standing for the truth about the "Big Lie"!
I love picturing you at your DAW making the press corps/crowd noises. Rockin' Dick Cheney impression, BTW.
On par with Christian Bale's, if not better.
Marge Simpson noises.
OMG, OMG this was the best. I am still working remotely and watched this on my break. I love the press conference. I cannot stop giggling at the different accents. Whew, I needed this!
We all need to laugh now, more than ever!
@@cathithomas2888 thank god for the maggots. Their stupidity is hilarious. What a horrible, hypocritical group. Gotta laugh or you'll just cry. Al, we can't have enough Deadheads in politics. But you're too good a person for politics. ✌🏽🤙🏽
Al has darn near perfect pitch. Dunno if hes ever played a musical instrument but his ear for others timbre and vocal abililty to match is great. He is missed in the senate chamber. Remember not the Alamo, remember Kirsten Gillibrand and her off the beat off melody fatal snipes,
Just be a funny Democrat and you may abuse all the women you want! Cool huh?! I think I'll switch to Democrat where you can have much more fun
@@JerryGarciaPOBox why are you pro communist?
Love that youʻre keeping Paul Wellstone front & center.
I am sorry that Al Franken is not in the Senate now.The country needs him now.
Thank you Senator Franken
We should never forget.

Rachel Maddow has.
Is Al Frankin an alcohol or just on mental health opiates?
@@rogerc23 mental ill health. Like all afflicted lefties, devoid of good sense and incapable of rational though or delivering a sensible argument.
@@hiramnoone What exactly is missing in his "thoughs"?
Miss you Al! Wish you were still in office.
@8:06 : chills, tremors, nausea, feelings of doom, destruction, despair. You never forget real evil.
Al really nailed it.
Really missed you, am always happy to see you coming over the horizon, keep up the good work.
Thank you Al. It’s important to remember who she is, and I always remember who her father is and what awful legacy he has. Your work is outstanding and invaluable to keeping the truth before us.
Never forget.
That phonecall is beyond incriminating.
And that's just the one we know about
If they caught Obama or Biden doing that?? It would make the dozen or so multi-year Bengazi investigations look like nothing.
@@dielaughing73 Great point. Trump was so transparently trying to conspire to fraudulently change election results - with such ease and lack of hesitancy, that you just sense that it wasn't the first phone call of that nature. He's been making phone calls like that for decades in his fraudulent business history and surely continuing without interruption in his political career. This is just one that the recording got out. I wonder how many other states he called in clear pursuit of stealing the election. They really need to arrest and prosecute for this. CLEARLY criminal. I can envision a long line/parade of Secretaries of State as witnesses for the prosecution, testifying that they, too, were personally contacted by Trump attempting to get them to change their state's vote results.
@Tommy Thompson ok
@Tommy Thompson ok
"...and that includes Ron Johnson..." I am adding that to my conversations.
😆😄 "Let's not do history,history is hard" 😂
I listen to the Podcast every week - but I kind of like seeing Al on these CZcams videos, in addition. It's more lively.
I love the videos. Tramp won the election by one vote. Questions from the peanut gallery... Grumble grumble grumble Saddam's got weapons of mass destruction grumble grumble...
I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair... grumble grumble grumble lol! Great idea Al! A guy as smart as you who can connect with the public ought to run for office or something.
Me too! I would love to see him back in the senate.
I’d Dems had a lick of sense they’d of never turned out one of their own like they did him. It’s a damn shame that the Senate convenes without him.
@@cherylalt101 Franken is a great communicator...he is presidential material. He conveys the hard facts with great humor.
His facial expressions are everything
Al you used the word "fakakta". I once used that word in Hebrew school when the principal was giving me grief. I got suspended. Hahaha
@1younguy That's an alternate spelling of the word, just like fakakte is.
"any idiot, and that includes Ron Johnson"... I lost my shit, LMAO!!!
I’m so glad I found your channel! You saved my sanity with your funny books on Rush Limbaugh and others during a dark time in my life.
Great explanation Senator .. Keep them coming Senator, everyone needs another required session of "Franken-sense" .. Thank you !
Loved “Franken-sense.” Clone that cologne.
More Frankel-sense
Good pun.
He should name a blog or podcast that. It’s an _outstanding_ name! Good job, *old5andimer!*
"Senator Franken" - has a nice ring to it.
Oh Al....you gotta’ be the best grandpa! With the utmost respect to your marriage, I love you man! 😆
He should've stayed in office and not resign .
Love you, Al! I wish you weren’t gone! You’re one of the top best we had!
Thank you for your valuable insight and your humor. (Happy Birthday, mine is 5/21 too.)
Just the best. Miss you.
Al Fraken is good enough, he's smart enough and doggone it, I like him!!
Unfortunately not many people under forty are gonna get this but good one nonetheless. 🤙👨🦳
Hi Al. Great presentation. I loved the 'finding the votes in a box, in a closet' skit.
OMG, Al!! I had lost track of you over the past few years, but you came to my attention again over the past few weeks. I can't believe how much I missed your voice!!
Yes- I needed to hear some rational thinking!
Keep it up Al we miss you. I love your chats.
There’s is one person that I admire as a politician and a comedian and as a presenter….Mr Franken….sir your integrity is needed ….your past doesn’t even come close to the past four years of corruption and disasters….cheers to you sir.
"two of which, rejected HIM". The straight-faced delivery was perfection
Much appreciated. Thank you. I hate to ponder a world where Liz Cheney would be my choice for a ballot I'd cast.. But I do have a level of respect for her Integrity when it came to standing up for democracy.
I have regretted the 2 Republican votes I cast in my 44 years of voting; Tony Perica ran for our county board president, on an anti-coruption platform, only to be indicted for accepting bribes during his short term.
Later, I voted against a corrupt mayor of our village, and our new Republican mayor quickly became a Covid-19 denier.
@@tomsenft7434 it's usually which shit-bag is less of a danger to us.
Sure, she's just into voter suppression and gerrymandering. The COOL anti-democracy stuff.
@@1223steffen it’s not Biden’s fault that you didn’t vote for him. He gave you all the reasons why that he would be good for the country. You just refused to open your eyes.
@@1223steffen Comrade, you have never voted for anyone but Putin
Republicans simply don't think... (I could stop there) ...that Democratic votes should be counted, period!
Al, I certainly do like and respect you! You are one of the few people that still represent the "Voice of Reason". Thank you!
We need Al Franken back in government. He’s brilliant, compassionate and has integrity.
As a Wisconsinite, I might have to start saying "any idiot, and that includes Ron johnson"
How did Ron Johnson get elected?
It goes without saying.
Super PAC's and outside money spread disinformation about Russ Feingold. You know, the usual.
Not very bright are you?
@@kriskenmonroe1 Ron Johnson took Feingold's seat? That makes it even worse. That's like getting a $500 trade-in on your good Lexus for a $20,000 wrecked Yugo.
We love you Al. Thanks for your videos.
Al. So glad to see you again. PLEASE keep up the good work
Why do I always see "Lewis Black" -
they must be relatives 😉
Al's there more calm relative 😂
Yes, a Lewis Black tribute artist.
Award winning? Give that guy a gold medal 🏅!
More power to the 🦁👏👏👏
Ronald Reagan & his side chic, Margaret Thatcher

You are too kind Al. It is a sad day when acknowledging the obvious is viewed as heroic.
It's sad. But it's also brave to do the right thing when it isn't popular and you stand to lose.
Yeah, just ignore it, coz VOX is a far right publication.....
8 women have now alleged sexual misconduct by Sen. Al Franken
The Senate Ethics Committee has confirmed a “preliminary inquiry.”
By Tara Golshan, Jen Kirby, and Andrew Prokop Updated Dec 6, 2017, 3:14pm EST
Two more women accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of sexual misconduct Wednesday, bringing the total number of women who have come forward with allegations against the lawmaker to eight.
A former Democratic congressional aide told Politico’s Heather Caygle that after a taping of Franken’s radio show in 2006, he tried to block her exit from a room in an attempt to forcibly kiss her.
>>>>>>
She says that Franken told her, “It’s my right as an entertainer.”
>>>>>>>>>
"MY RIGHT AS AN ENTERTAINER???????
Delusional???????????
Franken issued a statement saying her accusation was “categorically not true,” and that “the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous.” But two former colleagues of the woman told Politico that she had told them her story years ago.
www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/16/16665830/al-franken-sexual-assault-allegations
Yeah, but consider acknowledging or recognizing the obvious has never been a Republican Party strong point.
Once more Al Franken brilliantly demonstrates the enlightening power of satire.
Well done,and,that press conference?!?...PRICELESS! 😂
I love the Mitch McCoo coo impression.. love it 😝💗💗💗
Thanks for bringing up the 11,780 votes thing, as i recall the audio was leaked just 2 days before the 'college try' coup attempt in early January, so it was completely foreshadowed.. Cheers
If Trump had managed to arm twist his way to that 1 vote "found votes" victory in Georgia, Trump would have declared that "I won Georgia by a landslide, a complete landslide"!
@@stevechance150 Strongly tremendous. Indeed
That repulsive lying voice over reminded me of back in the day when that BatShtCrazy orangutan actually said at a debate against Hillary " Russia if you're listening, we just want to find the thirty thousand emails that are missing " ...🤮💩
@@stevechance150 Voters were coming up to me, big strong voters, with tears in their eyes, telling me how great it was that those votes had been found and I was still their Chosen Leader. It was as amazing as George Washington in those airports, but I would have done it much better if I was there. Much bigger and grander, I would have made Ivanka the first president of the US, in fact, lets just say that she actually WAS the first president of the United States, such an attractive president, look at those legs. Thank me again voters for being in your life, goodnight!
#DietCoup is the official name.
Been hip to Al since his SNL days. Now that he's not in government, Al can be as truthful as he likes. I just subscribed, and if you're still reading this, you should too. Get ' em Al!
Oh my blank’n, blank’n, blank!!! “You go on girl, you go on ...”
My whole house is quite and I just started roaring!!! 👍🤗
I wish more democrats would stop applauding her for her one correct decision. Man, we love to " move on".
Al I was reminded of Larry David in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which he was accused of being a self loathing Jew and he said yes, I loath myself, but it has nothing to do with being Jewish☮️
Great line but LD stole that from Woody Allen...or my uncle.
@@douglaslowe5 yes, that sounds like Woody Allen but I can’t recall anything specific😂
Sammy Davis Jr. who had converted to Judaism, and his reaction to the U.N. declaration that Judaism was Racism: "Does that mean that now I can hate myself?"
@@nancystowell4877 yeah that was great-Sammy was awesome. The UN definition of a “refugee” regarding Arabs who lived in the territory now Israel in 1948 *AND ALL OF THEIR DESCENDANTS IN PERPETUITY* is one of the most ridiculous things ever in world politics🙄
@@1223steffen how?
So good to see you out in front again AL. Miss you terribly in the Senate. You should've NEVER resigned...NEVER!
This is my new favorite CZcams channel. Please commit more to being a CZcamsr Al. Your insight into the politics of modern America and funny impressions are amazing and would help this platform become more educated.
Son of a gun! This IS an award winning Al Franken video!
Superb cast - script was dead on it!
😄👍
Liz Cheney held the line. She did not abandon her post when everyone around her ran after the pied piper. It is heroic. It mattered and it matters. I feel respect and appreciation. I will remember the looks on the faces, Mitt too, epic. Fully aware, they walked in front of a firing squad, and they told the truth.
You Go Liz! You know the TRUTH, and It Set You Free... Continue to Stand Firm. Truth over Lies Matters!!!!
Yep, you go gurl, voters dont remember the thousands of your lies and mischaracterizations but you know how they feel about BIG APPARENT LIES and a one-term under 50% approval rating regional con-man turned pro-TUS. Way to cynically play the game in the name of "standing up for the truth." I dislike the GOP for making me feel a second of anything but disgust for her.
"And that includes Ron Johnson" Bwahahahahahahhahahahaha
I like how he has to explain this to the lucky people who weren't old enough to experience Dick Cheney
Never forget the Dick Cheney sneer!
"Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. I will not participate in that.... any more." __Liz
Hmm.......very interesting, Liz. How has this “new” Liz changed from the “old” Liz? Why?
Or any less
@@suzannebrown2505 She'll make a play for president.
Yet she supports voter suppression laws. She is the same Liz as she has always been.
Thank you!!!! I love you and these videos are so good for my soul❤️❤️❤️
Lol the huhuhuhu sounds during the pretend press conference gave me a good laugh 🤣🤣
"Any idiot..and that includes Ron Johnson..." LOL
Gosh darn it Al, people like you. I'm glad you are doing these spots. It really helps. It assures and supports my sarcastic nature about all this Doo Doo..eh?

he just stating facts
@@tlhamp0 Yeah. Isn't it funny how so many people are not into that sort of thing? It's just so inconvenient and bothersome.
🤣🤣🤣
Al Franken and Katie Porter !! Sounds like a winning ticket!!!!!!!Please!!!!!!!!!
Agreed!
I like the sound of this!
Absolutly all day every day this country would change for the better
Anyone remember the Mervyn’s commercial? The woman at the window/door hand flapping chanting OPEN, OPEN, OPEN … that would be me on Election Day for that ticket!!
If they are going one way to China, perhaps...:)
A true Hero... hate that you resigned, so happy you didn't go away and kept quiet!! You need to run again!!
god I love Al franken, I wish that certain events didn't happen and he was still in the senate
I. Love. These. Please keep them coming.
Oh wow. I'm happy for American's that Al Franken is back on the scene. Man is a genius, with a good heart, I believe it's own heart too. BTW, only 12K views and only 114K subscribers at this time? Come America , pick it up. Your missing out some intellectually genius and hilariously genius sh*t.
He has a weekly podcast. You might want to give it a listen.
As an Aussie, I didn't know he did YT videos but this just turned up on my recommended 😀 I have now subscribed (subscribers now at 120K, so the algorithms must be working!)
That’s because Social Media only feeds on polarization, and on Al’s channel they would find everything but polarized views.
A week later at 127K. On a pretty good roll. And now 316,920 on this video.
So glad you're back Al, you have been missed. ♥️
Al, I miss you more with every passing day... And I am not even American. Listening to common sense is just so calming.
It's just sad when the Middle East is more sensible than Duhmerica.
First of all, there is no way that Trump didn't make that exact phone call to people in each of the swing states that he lost. Georgia might be the only one who recorded the call, and surprisingly made it public. Secondly, if those states all went along and "found" the votes needed to overturn the vote, there wouldn't be any accountability afterwards. That would have been the moment when America became an autocracy. Trump learned a big lesson in 2016: cheating at this level means the winner makes the rules going forward.
"Liz Cheney is on the right side of history, for once!"
I think it must be uncomfortable.
Criswell predicts she will continue her leftward slide...
FINALLY!!! I thought the whole world had gone crazy...democrats everywhere applauding and praising Liz Cheney completely without reservation! REALLY! Once again, good for you AL.
This sense of humor and witty responses are what we need on Capitol Hill at this point. Imagine if he took the mic on the floor during a debate or open forum.
Hey, I missed you, Al! Nice to see you.
Coming from Wisconsin, I approve of, “any idiot, and that includes Ron Johnson…”
Perfect timing now, I just needed something to listen to while I cook. You rock!
OMG! Al Franken. Just ran across this, so good to see you Al! You look great. Wish you the best
Claiming he won when he truly didn’t, is all part of his play book. It’s in his book.
