The Al Franken Podcast

A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

I am writing with an idea for a message which I hope can be used to reinvigorate support for Democratic Party candidates. It is based on the fact that the general public/electorate is frustrated by the current state of society. What about a reform of the tax laws? Let’s totally simplify the process. How about giving the middle class tax payer a 20% reduction to their last year’s taxes every year. To pay for it, raise the taxes for millionaires/ billionaires an absolute 5%. Make all corporations pay a minimum tax based on income, not profit. Maybe you can pass this along to your Democratic friends to see if it will take seed.

I don’t understand how this divinely inspired maga bunch has not been brought to task. These people think god is on their side. Cotton trump is going to do his deal supported by the whacked out want to be Islamic model. I’ll say this god help us, at least better than the civil war when everyone thought god was on their side

Was attempted in 2023-2024 but Trump told Repub. no - don’t vote for it. Tell Sarah Longwell.
Loved this episode. But…

Loved this episode. A bit disappointed that he didn’t talk at all about the early 80s, although perhaps not surprised, seeing as how the memories may be a bit painful (these include the Jean Doumanian years). Would still like to hear some stories. Couldn’t help noticing that the anniversary show itself mentioned Al not at all, nor did any of the articles I saw that talked about who wasn’t on the show, but nobody mentioned Al. Did I miss him? He said on the episode that he’d be in NYC for the anniversary show.🤔😉😊
