Does anyone else remember the 60 Minutes interview after Pence was chosen as running mate?
He was asked "If you see Donald Trump doing something you think is wrong will you talk to him?"
He hemmed and hawed and blithered until Trump literally patted his leg and said "It's OK, you can answer that." And then he gave a convoluted answer.
😂🤣🥺🥺😂🤣
Yes, sadly. Trump controlled the narrative from the beginning. Here's the clip: czcams.com/video/dTL7LriRZJQ/video.html
Pence let Trump do anything in exchange for putting conservative judges in power. He sold America out.
Al run for Senate from Minnesota; we need people like you.
Yes and Get rid of Gillabrand
@Robert Hunt if I recall correctly she was one of the first to shoot her mouth off.
@Robert Hunt Which one is the one we/they all hate?
In many ways, I find monsters like Abott and Greene and McCarty more despicable than Trump. Their level of cynicism and bad faith is staggering.
@Jay Bee How on earth can an American 'give' another country to its own inhabitants? Another bizarre rabbit hole to go down. Or it is merely American Exceptionalism once again?r
@Jay Bee "What's wrong with Trump? How long have you got?
@Jay Bee Trump negotiated the Afghan pull-out dates with the Taliban leader known as the "BUTCHER OF BERADAR" who he had released from prison with 5000 of his Taliban buddies--after Biden beat his butt in the election. Trump and Pompeo tried to set up Biden. It's bizarre because Trump went nuts over the Iraq pull-out he blamed on Obama even tho Bush43 negotiated it when the Iraqi leader demanded the US get out. Trump attacked telling people when you plan to leave--yet he set up the same scenario 4 yrs later! Is he that senile/demented? Or so stupid and corrupt he thought he could get away with it?
@@cyninbend Afghan was never a humanitarian war, and would have failed several tests if assessed as one. It was a product, dating back to the late 70s, of the dying days of Cold War dynamics.
Biden had the balls, unlike Bush, Obama and Tramp, to actually end this puppet show. Tramp, I would remind you, released hundreds of Taliban militants as part of his 'deal'. ("Bid deal" is all I can say to that".) Any USA ass-biting is a product of delusional thinking.
Biden will go down is history as the man who made THE difficult decision, and he will be honoured for this.
What will Tramp be remembered for - tax breaks for the millionaires and grifters. Go figure. The rest of the GOP anti-democrats will also have their day in the roll of shame and bad faith.
@Jay Bee Trump let 500,000+ people die of a virus that other countries did a far better job protecting their citizens from. He lied straight out saying it would be gone, he canceled efforts to respond bc he thought he could use blue state deaths against Dems in the 2020 election. Jared told his friends and Vanity Fair reported it at the time. (NOTE: This is called a citation--proves the truth of what I say. Try it.)
Trump left an economy in ruins. He repeatedly announced job creations that Obama had accomplished in 2014, 2015, 2016. His economic record is worse than Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Carter... Only the Bushes can compare to his numbers. AND he left a $7 TRILLION greater debt created by cutting taxes on the richest Americans and foreign investors and literally trying to buy a better stock market with constant infusions of cash. He even broke Obama's record of nearly 80 months in a row of job creation within months of taking office.
He used lies of caravans of foreigners heading north to invade our borders and of tax cuts for middle-class voters to try to win elections yet lost the Republicons every election after the electoral college victory--yet popular vote loss--in 2016. He broke all his promises of bigger, better healthcare and yet tried that lie over and over and over--all he did was try to take away healthcare from many Americans and create executive orders to create confusion and unpredictability in insurance markets--to raise premiums--he even admitted it to cameras as tho it was something to be proud of! Trying to end health insurance for children and adults with rare, uninsurable diseases as tho this is something to be proud of, instead of something that would kill tens of thousands--something we now know he is happy to do!
He said he'd never hire lobbyists, yet his entire admin was full to the brim with lobbyists! He made an Exec Order banning lobbyists in govt and banning govt employees from lobbying within yrs after leaving govt service. THEN HE GAVE EVERY EMP,LOYEE A PERSONAL WAIVER FROM HIS OWN EXEC ORDER!
He promised not to hire his kids or Jared then made them the frontline employees in his admin--so they could violate constitutional prohibitions on profiting from govt service. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit were declared by Javanka while in the govt jobs Trump promised not to give them. He turned the US into a laughing stock around the world when he brought his 8th grade drop-out daughter to international summits and placed her in his seat representing the largest economy on Earth. (at least it was b4 Trump).
Trump made every decision to benefit Russia. Russian farmers now have the long-term Chinese soybean contracts American farmers used to possess while they have lost their farms and are on welfare. Russians now operate US bases in Syria, use our equipment, and have their middle eastern port they wanted for decades while our former allies the Kurds have disappeared after Turkish cleansing...and Trump brags about HIS victory over ISIS. A con worthy of a master--a master of narcissism and corruption. Of lying, of fraud, of genocidal proportions.
And we still have not seen the results of his utter corruption of the EPA and Interior Dept, and his utter incompetence at the Dept of Agriculture which bears responsibility for the content of American diets, food products... What superfund cleanup sites will future admins have to pick-up the bills to clean after his lobbyist teams erased regulations protecting air, water, foods... His massive ignorance and lack of a conscience has enabled horrors we have no clue because of the pandemic...full circle back to his letting half a million plus people die. If you are numb to this atrocity, you need to watch the interview done linking to young people in Germany, the UK, and Asia and discussing the emerging deaths in America. They kept bursting into tears, shocked by what the US was experiencing. It was the horror we thought it was to all but the corrupt Trumpists and their dear leader.
"...deeply insane President." I'd laugh but unfortunately it's no laughing matter...still. The fact that that this person who ran our country didn't read or listen, was used by a former KGB agent as a money launderer, and that 70 million Americans voted for him was incredibly and deeply disturbing. Where has our America gone? Are we just another failing empire? Please say it isnt so because...and I guess this must sound hokey but...I love America!
This is the fall of the Roman Empire redo. No question about it. Trump is Caligula.
@@annettepora8091 - 😥
Each day, I am worried about our Democracy. It is upsetting to imagine 70 million vote for Trump. Now, I am watching Gop have 40 bills to restrict our voting rates! 🤮🇺🇸.
What can we do now?
Trump did say Get the vaccine and he did get booed!
@@redhead5990 we have to keep fighting for our democracy, it's that important.
I never asked anything for myself.
All i want a Country I can still be proud A FUNCTIONING
DEMOCRACY.
Do you your part, and vote, with the hope that there're more of us than of them.
@@annettepora8091 at least Caligula had savvy. He was more like Nero.
When is Trump going to be prosecuted for anything?
he will never be held to account, and that is bad in several ways
@Jay Bee russian money laundering, just for an appetizer, plenty more on the menu.
Ya, like the Russia Russia Russia pee pee thing? Or the very fine people thing? My God he even walked to a church in Washington DC while ANTIFA was trying to burn it down. Yet he has not seen a single day of prison time even for that! And how about telling people to go to the capitol snd peacefully make your voices heard on JAN 6th! Trump should be shot for saying shot like that. Seriously.
@@brucegruetzmacher5891 Trump not shutting his pie hole for 4 years blathering nonsense should be a mandatory life sentence
@@mowler8042 i agree. And person that gets elected president in an HONEST election needs to learn to shut has pie hole or get shot by the leftist tyranny that controls this nation. Well said.
Susan Collins knew exactly what she was doing! Now all she has to say is he lied to me. She played the people of Maine!
@@sandrapeck967 you're probably right, her constituents wanted to be played
Sad...........
She just won reelection too. She's so terrible
she seems to me that she is not very bright. Sort of stupid and gullible.
Regardless if she knew what she was doing, the people of Maine were gullible enough to buy her bullshit.

His election and continue support says more about us
than about him.
It's a reflection on the educational system and mindless parenting that creates this lack of critical thinking skills.
@@annettepora8091 I used to think so. But not anymore. Hitler and others have been popular through the years even though the people could think. Hitler got 37% of the vot. I think every culture has a portion of the people who love cruelty and want to inflict in on others.
@@jaimepatena7372 wow ! That’s profound. Sad to think of the implications in society.
@@annettepora8091 Education, and importantly, critical thinking are not prioritized enough, without a doubt. But not everyone is cut out to be a great thinker. A minority are, I'd say. The larger problem, which Al mentions, is the pervasive and pernicious influence of disinformation, both on mass media, particularly the right wing variety, and on the internet. It has literally poisoned people's minds and the political climate in this country. Until we find an antidote to Carlson and Hannity we are effectively doomed to a future of division and strife. It's frightening to me, and needs to be addressed as a nation, somehow.
@Jay Bee I love unanimous hate of Biden alongside GOP voters. 83% is an extremely strong number. A country that divided par party lines is in deep trouble.
I was very impressed with America as a whole for continuing to function as well as we did for the 4 years while the lunatic conman was pretending to be a President.
No shit! the yanks were lurching like punched-out drunks but they're still upright. Absolutely amazed me!
Trump probably doesn't know his grand kid's names either, and remembers Eric's name only half the time.
Thanks Al! Enjoyed it. It's still unfathomable to the some people still truly believe that Trump is a successful businessman either. 😂🤣😂🤣
Everything about this, the guitar music, the sound quality, even the delivery is 100% public radio. It's uncanny.
Wolff is 10 times smarter than Trump and plays with his ego to get him to jump through hoops.
Can Wolff give some tips to those trying to prosecute him?? The sly fox needs to be outwitted by the big bad Wolff
@@michellejester9734 fox out, swine in
To my mind all media should just stop talking about Trump. Saying nothing is far more productive than talking about him.
@@susanford2388
Exactly!
Giving Trump ANY attention works to his advantage.

Excellent photo Michael Wolff. Thank your photographer or person responsible.
This interview with 2 highly intelligent humans, both with excellent communication skills & grounded in reality, is not something you hear much lately.
It's quite refreshing.
There are millions of people who think just like Trump. This scares me death and I have walled myself off from all Trumpers. They are insane!
Yes and the sad thing is that in the past in what we call "polite society" there was a veneer of what I call "manners" toward such things as race, the handicapped and so forth but Trump took the lid off it all starting with language such as open accusation and name calling and opening up the violence and absolutely twisted logic of the anti-vaxer and anti maskers to the hunting of Asians (me for one) black and people that are simply non white. What we have all seen conferment in the last six years is that "it" all does flow form the top.
The bad part about it, is half the family follows this fool (Trump)!
@@superbmediacontentcreator i have been an activist all my life. Now, I take a firmer stance, because these “times” mandate it. I cannot affiliate with those who think they are better than the next person. We are all…just people!
@@marniefriedman879 I wish this were true but it is so idealistic and is why we are in this mess as so many of us (me included) just sat by as we have seen our rights eroded the name calling the power plays and so forth and just thought it would equalize and self-right like a ship.
This was obviously not and will not be the case until regular people that actually believe in the basics of the county and the Constitution take an ongoing and continuing part in it.
@@superbmediacontentcreator It is staggering how much of the population are selfish bullies where cruelty is the point. Trump also proves how a significant portion of the population is uneducated and uninformed, making it easy to get them to act against their best interest. There was a psychologist who posted a comment on another podcast who addressed the cognitive dissonance of the Trump supporter and, in a nutshell, said something to the effect that there is nothing you can present to these people that will get them to change their minds as any information that conflicts with their beliefs makes them uncomfortable (like a short circuit in the brain). They will accept lies and reject truth as it is the only way to reconcile the false beliefs they hold.
A really great podcast again Al (& Michael). You guys even noted Malignant Narcissism.
And I really, really need to encourage, encourage you to add Bandy Lee to your guest list! Please, please. She and the WMHC must be given a bigger platform. What better than yours?
Let’s drive home, scientifically, how bad, dangerous our current reality is. This must be pounded into you collective consciousness. Loudly!!
I speak as a person with professional AND personal family experiences. I’ll only talk of family experiences. I have a second cousin who should never be released from prison following his conviction of murdering his former with special circumstances wife at UCI. The cause of this action? He was upset about child support payments. His is the only murder at ever at UCI.
I know it’s not 5th Ave but it is the show of a Malignant Narcissist. Your audience should know these people exist. AND that Trump is one of them.
Please, please have a mental health professional on. Please.
Thank you, Gary Brown
Great Podcast, Al...Wolff is a GREAT insight into trump...
“You know….for a change” my favorite line, I get tickled every time Al Franken says it.
and of course Michael Wolf, who called it perfectly… “shit show” presidency. Great commentary either side. I ordered his book
“Rudy’s always clearing the room…”
😂🤣😁😩
Thank you for posting this podcast.
Re. Rudy: That couldn't have been commercial hair dye. He must have improvised with shoe-polish or something.
Agreed! I’ve colored my own hair for years and I’ve never had color run down my face!
I was thinking cheap mascara.
It was what's left of his rotted brains leaking out...
Rudy was leaking voter fraud fluid. 😂😂😂
That's what happens when vampires get exposed to sunlight.
The idea that Trump wins a second term scares the hell out of me.
He will lose a fair election again then will try to seize power with his maga mob...again. Predictable.
@Don B Your question contains the answer. Very efficient post.
He'll be in no shape to run. We should be more worried about a Ron DeSantis/Erik Prince ticket, or some other terrible combo.
The really insane thing is the fact that 74 million people support the lunatic.
It's just a MOON CULT, only ORANGE!
Many are non-thinkers, non-readers, and non-listeners like him.
Trump gives access and so forth since there have never ever been any consequences personally that ever really touch him in and for HIS WHOLE LIFE.
100% agree
I'm keeping my sister's kid and pets at her home this weekend while she and her husband are on a trip. I just saw Newsmax on their apps, trying to find something for them to watch while I shower--I knew of course that they are red hats, but Newsmax?! I threw up in my mouth a little. My sister is a college graduate!
@@carolyntalbot947 That is sad but fits into my theory that we have created such a complicated or secretive society (this is privileged, that is redacted, this is restricted, that is classified) that the right wing elements appeal to the human need for what has been called "simple solutions to complicated problems." This is also true for these that are conscious of the actual complications of life and just want to throw up their hands to it all and leave it to these people. Somehow that just do not understand the alternate and nefarious agenda that these people operate on or that their solutions have irrevocable ramifications to them.
czcams.com/video/x9kEBFmDeS0/video.html
@@carolyntalbot947 my brother, sister and her husband are trump cultist. So is a cousin and her husband. A brother would be the sixth but he was a staunch anti everything where the coronavirus was concerned. He got covid in early July and died at 57 on August 27th. He never expressed regret for his choices and died after it appeared he was getting better. One of his doctor's said his lungs just couldn't take it any longer. The above mentioned cousin battled covid for nearly two months and her husband said she admitted she should have gotten the vax in the way to the hospital. She developed pneumonia while in the hospital yet thankfully she recovered. The rest of my family is vaccinated now. To be fair another brother got the Johnson & Johnson in May and he has had difficulty ever since. His doctor finally diagnosed him with calcification which is effecting his legs and groin area. There is no cure and it somehow works itself out after about a year. So this whole pandemic has been a mixed bag in my family much the same for our country. I haven't seen News max offered on my cable, but it is on the Pluto tv app on my phone... I'll watch it sometimes to get a laugh but end up getting mad instead. All of the family members listed above are highly educated, very well off and they are mostly compassionate people. But the overriding reason they love trump is because of his dog whistling.
Time for that to change! Slippery sludge needs time-20years-or, just throw the kez away-or, send him to live with Jimmy Hoffa
Texas could do that as soon as Viagra & vasectomy's are outlawed & or have specific restraints put on them.
And child support is enforced.
white men in texas aren't going to outlaw Viagra, maybe any women's version of it
Oh, no! We're going to elect women only to all levels of government in Austin and viagra will be by special exception, only. Condoms and birth control will be free.
Al!! Get back in the game! You're a voice of reason among a cacophony of BS.
I hope Franken establishes residence in New York and runs against Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024.

Al come to Arizona. We need a REAL democratic senator in place of the 2 corporation democrats we currently have in office.
i'm sure susan collins is "concerned"
Is she still alive? Look like she disappear, from the Senate.
Ridiculous... Constitutionally it was important to impeach him and put Republicans on the record. This 2020 BS is just that.
Yes but its failure only strengthened both him and the party of unconstitutionality.
... Catch-22 !!, every effort to bring Justice causes publicity that raise Rump up. The human animal's addiction to stress hormones is truly our downfall, as people make money by perpetuating the trauma cycle.
@@EvolutionWendy First we assume you mean "trauma?" Further this is just a wholly over simplified and elemental concept however I think you have cortisol confused with adrenalin and I think the vast majority of individuals avoid stress not seek it.
It may have been better to announce it was a criminal matter, under investigation, awaiting punishment on that level, and hard core scare the jerk as he waited for the ax to fall.
Al, you aren’t the only male that has behaved inconsiderately when experiencing hormones. Forgive yourself and run again.
Al's timely departure was definitely our lost not his. The country needs Al back in office more than ever. I would love to see the election! I would volunteer. It would be so fun. At least for us....
@circusoundsTIME SERVED. We all fall short of perfection. Level the field... Donnie's crimes pileup is at a minimum 20-plus known sexual assault allegations plus bribery, scams, intimidation, dereliction of Duty, abuse-of-office, both unprecedented presidential impeachments after losing the popular vote...TWICE. Then all the unethical and criminal Financial schemes, paybacks to cronies PLUS removing public health and safety measures in our food and water and countless other places plus intentional failure to appropriately and actively manage the prevention and spread of a worldwide pandemic in a nation that makes up 4% of the world's population with 25% of the death and cases.
How is it legal that judges and justices can be seated by a President that was impeached? What if Donnie had only been VP? What if he runs again and lines up DeSantis as VP? What if Donnie's running mate is DJTJ? Or Jared?
Senator Sharpton is a cakewalk... a good mind, a great heart, and very good hair.
Great interview with Michael Wolfe!!
Thank you for your intellect, inciteful humor (yes, I mean inciteful) and insightful interviews, I hope a certain network will pick you up and maybe replace Chuck Todd's MTP Daily show or have you become the main MTP host on the weekend.
That's an excellent idea!
I enjoyed "inciteful."
Franken for PRESIDENT!!!!!
This was a great podcast; you know, for a change 😉. I truly enjoy your podcasts. 🙏 thank you.
This was a wonderful interview.
Great conversation, enjoyed it 👍
You're both good enough & smart enough to .. carry on🥰
I really appreciate AF’s view and intelligence. This could have been a remarkable interview.
Seems like Al is doing all the talking.
I can't wait until the books describe the former president's behavior during his many trials that he loses.
I agree 110%. History will show just how wacko the orange turd is. My only concern is the courts, will they do the right thing or will the let this narcissis continue to slide past the courts or punish him/them ( family & friends) for their crimes? Time will tell.
I look forward to a tell-all book by his cell mate detailing his life in prison.
@@dr.g3860
He'll be committed to a high security mental facility for what's left of his life. The extent of his substance abuse and drug addiction will be revealed then. .
@@oltedders I just don't believe that will happen. Life in America is bat shit crazy.
@@michellejester9734
Don't lose faith in the system. That's their 1st victory in a total takeover of the government. The foundation and success of our system is the steadfast belief of each citizen.
Great show! Thanks.
It's profoundly saddening that this great country elected Trump. Just mind boggling, as well.
I can understand it. Half the country knows that Washington has been sold to the corporations and so they want somebody to blow up the system. Hence....trump. personally I would have chosen somebody more effective than trump but hey, lesson learned.
@Jay Bee I said "Washington". I did not parse that by party. Both parties are guilty of the sellout. The election of the gobshite trump was a thumb in the eye to Hillary who was seen as an establishment politician.
Biden, being another establishment politician barely sqweeqed in against trump who arguably ran the worst campaign of any incumbent ever. My point is....if the republicans choose another "outsider" who is competent (which trump was clearly not!!!!) they will win again in 24.
@Jay Bee oh....you are one of those that swallows what you are fed. Sorry, I thought I was talking to somebody who cares for the country. Adios
Well he gave them permission to be their absolute worst selves and then tells them he loves them, which seemed to work for far too many
"He can't read, but at least he doesn't listen."
Every time Al asks if Tyrump ever showed any genuine empathy or compassion...hilarious. It's an image you can't possibly visualize.
One of your best shows! You two should get together more often.
It is so good, on top of content, to hear the wholesome and charismatic voice of Al Franken. Still, and despite everything. You are a true friend, Al, and I do love you. Endure. I know it isn’t so necessary to say so, but anyway I command you: Endure. Live long and prosper.
Thanks for the CC.
Great radio! Intelligent conversation at it's best.
No apostrophe!
Despite the Hollywood tape, despite the Covid 19 catastrophe, despite the Helsinki betrayal, despite the porn star scandal. And despite every conceivable
Instance of ineptitude, corruption, and meanness, Trump is still the no. 1 Republican !
Do you mean sarcastically?
Thank you for sharing.
Took a while to get to this one, but great podcast Al, I can’t help to wonder if things kinda turned out for the better for you, and for the rest of us as a result bc I really enjoy listening to you and your guests, seems a better use of your time, thanks!
I am STILL so sorry you resigned over that stupid accusation by the woman who said you kissed her at a party. We needed you then. We need your insights now. Thank you.
Terri Gross of NPR did a fantastic interview of that situation. Look it up.
@@russwilson4 Thanks for info.
The laughing, Al, makes you sound vacuous, which we all know you're not.
Keep it coming Al
Excellent interview!!
The guy was an old rich tourist who bungled into the oval office, because everyone was at each other's throats.
The ultimate mascot for "divided we fall."
It can happen again, and if we value our country, we shouldn't let it.
The word you were looking for instead of off his rocker is psychopath.
Excellent listen thanks
Love Al Franken and Wolf
His senility is already getting the best of him, no worries.
He will remain dangerous long after he's dead.
That’s what I was thinking - he doesn’t remember.
Will Trump run again?
Ask yourself, can Trump make money by running again?
If the answer is yes (which it is) then yes, he will run.
No. He simply will not say anything because he's supporting himself on pac money, the minute he says it(y or n) money dries up. Money gone, Drumpf gone.
Indeed it's about the GRIFT
Remember when Dump said he would use his own money?
This a great video!!!
Love you Al! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🎹😍😍 PLEASE RUN AGAIN! We need you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🗣
Gotta love journalists who "let him play us" and then when it's too late they bring out the books full of hand-wringing conscience
He wrote 2 other books during the orange idiots presidency.
Mary Trump, Wolff and the rest were all at the very least sorting info that should have been made public instead they chose to hold back until the damage was done. That's not patriotism or journalism or writing on an historical figure that's dead. This nut is still alive and killing thousands. Helping traitors make you one just like driving the getaway car makes you part of the crime.

Enjoyed this podcast.
susan collins is a terrible judge of character at very least.
I bet she really understands the base character of Kavanaugh and others but is afraid to say what she really thinks. Not a profile in courage.
Another great one. I wake up every Sunday morning and wait for the eo
Oops I wait for the episode to drop 🙃
Your expression in this photo tells all in your openion of how most of us feel today. Dazed, tired and tiered of it all. Dazed like unbelievable. Keep it real for us. Thanks
Congratulations Senator, love your podcast!
I absolutely love the higher intelligence in the comments!
TROLL FREE ZONE 👍😍
It’s a chicken,and egg question, what came first the Republican Fascists or Trump.
I have always thought the Republiclan party had an authoritarian agenda.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 Michael Wolff
Thank you 🙏 Al Franken
Much as I like Al I cannot stand schadenfreude
Love the show but I wish you would give your guests more time to talk.
thanks, al!
Bravo Sir!
Thank you, Ruth Bater Ginsberg for doing it "your way" and giving us an anti--abortion conservative on the Supreme Court.
Honey they rushed an unqualified justice through during the election because they knew they were backing a loser.
Yes we were played but… it would have been helpful is she had retired in 2009 when Dems were in control. And it looks like it could happen again if SB doesn’t step down now!
The road to hell will always be well paved.
Al for POTUS ✌️💙
I love Fred as Michael Wolf. Best impression.
That Was fantastic 👏for once....lol

I love to be a fly on the wall when he is found guilty and has to go to jail. What will his reality tell him? Not that I believe for a moment that he will ever stand trial...
Never. We can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which fills up faster.
He’ll be going undercover to do field research on prison reform.
They are going to wait til he is dead, then the floodgates will open about even more illegal activity he was doing. There's a whole lot of probable cause already tho
Hey Al I really miss you
Is Michael Wolff a ventriloquist? I watched the CZcams video and his lips never moved!😈 He never blinked his eyes either👀
Wow. I had not noticed!
We Americans are becoming a laugh to the world. The house of cards is caving.
We have been a joke to the world since 2015 when Trump got his stage.
Oh God!! He said Dennis Reynolds line................"Because of the implication......¬_¬" lol
I love this episode
I love Al Frankin's podcast & have read Mr. Wolff's first book on Trump I loved that too.
I've read all three, "Fire And Fury", "Siege", and "Landside" (thank you public library ebooks) and loved them all. Remembering what we heard on the news as it happened and now finding out what was happening the scenes made me a little crazy. How could so many of his inner circle cover for him andsupport what he was doing?
P. S. I just watched the Netflix docu series "How To Become A Tyrant" and highly recommend. It never mentioned Trump but the list of things to do were almost all done by him.
The world needs more Al Frankens and fewer Donald Trumps.
That is all.
Narcissists never, ever, ever go away.
He did a terrific job on this third book.
Thanks Al. Maybe we can get out of This Mess.
*Wolff's book is "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency".*
It will never end
To put it in SNL terms - Trump lives in Bizarro World.
COMMON GROUND
By all rights he should be serving time and barred from politics let alone run again
Is that Leo Kottke in the opening bumper? Hope so
You guys gave the answer to “why does Trump keep allowing himself to be interviewed by Wolff:” He doesn’t fucking read!
You are wrong. He read Adolf Hitler's mein kamph per Mary Trump! It showed!
