This is exactly what I was going to say. I do not like hearing his voice. I also agree with the guy at the beginning that I feel better not paying too much attention to the crap that he's doing. But I'll occasionally listen to something like this podcast to sort of keep up.
Y'all should check out Mary Trump's channel on here. She changed his voice to make it sound like he sucked on a helium balloon. Not only does it make it easier to listen to him, it's also absolutely hilarious.
Yeah, right! MTN was already doing it because practically their subscribers commented and didn't want to see his disgusting face or hear his annoying voice while he was constantly spewing lies and disinformation!
I'm so comforted to hear the two of you speaking up right now. I'm also resisting bigotry in a red state and I feel alone in my perspective of a better world. Thank you, this is juice for my soul. Love ya, peace ✌️
Honest to God, when I watch my favorite talk shows and news programs that play clips of President Sh*t-for-Brains here on RUclips, I smash that 5-second fast-forward button so much I'll probably break it. I can't watch anything live any more for that reason. Thanks for understanding our pain! 😬
OMG, isn't it fabulous! It's the only way I can listen to him talk. Although, to me, it sounds like he sucked on a helium balloon. But, hey, either one works.

He wants the natural resources in order to enrich himself and his cronies. If he gets his hands on Greenland, he will further destroy their environment just to dig out their wealth. It's not about national security at all. If it were, he'd just negotiate with them to place more defensive military there which as a NATO ally, they would welcome.
Al I hope you’ll do an episode on voter suppression - and also with Mark Elias from Democracy Docket. Voter suppression could truly have lost this election for Kamala
I think it did. Vigilantes, Inc. is a great, fact-based documentary by Greg Palast and I highly recommend it. Then we had bomb threats in democrat areas ONLY in swing states. And topped off with Muskrat paying people to "register" and he is "the best with the vote tabulation machines". Every swing state should have been investigated, and not just recounted.
If the country survives this horror show, this inauguration speech should be made into a video with the speech elements interspersed with elements of the outcome of each at the end of the term. It could be a priceless record of the nightmare that should NEVER AGAIN be permitted to come to power in the US.
Great show. So sad we are where we are. Hope we learn from this. Agree they should have let Harris run as Harris not Biden 2.0. Hope we all make it to the other side.
Just facts, the US has built air bases in Greenland. Still operating international Kangerlussuaq Airport, Narsarsuaq Airport, and non-civilian Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland which is to say the US has a functioning non-civilian presence already in Greenland. Purchasing or taking over that country would be a phenomenal waste of money for the purpose of Arctic surveillance and protection.
7:35 We lost because we didn’t have the richest man to ever live fixing the election …allegedly, based only on the admission of Elon and Trump, and the skewing of the data.
The Harris campaign spent a billion dollars and did not reach the working class, that's not a money issue, that's a message and targeting issue. Some Trump voter said "Celebrities don't pay my bills" which is the problem succinctly summarized. We can't cede the economy message, especially when there was so much investment to point to. Republican governors are not going to fail to show up at every bridge and plant opening.
Blame voter suppression. It is now a fact that Kamala would have won had it not been for vigilante voter challenges and voter suppression. Please have Greg Palast as guest. I love what you do Al, but it wasn't Joe's fault and it wasn't Kamala's fault. It was hatred from conservatives who will do anything to stay in power to preserve their own wealth.
this was true, i believe, and you said it very well thanks. when Samaritans lose a battle with vultures, they shouldnt blame themselves and be influenced by the peanut gallery. they should stick to their values and remain steadfast and resolute. the Harris Walls ticket was delivering life, liberty and equal pursuit of happines for all, to 50% of a voting proletariate who worships demigogues and celebrity.
There are SO MANY truly frightening ones. Gabbard. Kennedy. The guy who thinks our economy will collapse if we don't keep billionaire tax breaks. McMahon. Noem and Hogsbreath have both been confirmed since they recorded this. Every department will be undermined and regulations rolled back. The future is DARK.
@generalputnam2990 that is exactly what the Republicans are trying to do: change the Constitution to make themselves the only real legitimate citizens of the USA.
I don’t like his voice, or seeing him. Gave up watching TV altogether. I watch only what want to keep my sanity. So I’m trying to keep him out of my mind as much as possible.
The importance of understanding Trump's motivations and strategies. The speakers want listeners to understand that Trump is not acting out of ignorance or incompetence, but rather with a deliberate strategy to maintain power and influence.
Well, that's one lost for each, trump won and Hegseth got confirmed. I hope these folks are not betting shots of alcohol or it's gonna get ugly. I imagine Kennedy and Gabbard sailing through with all the kiss ass republicans on board.
A long term GOP goal is to privatize or cancel most of the Federal government. Gutting the government from the inside and declaring failure is one tactic.
Old (R) strategy. I.e. harks back to defunding the National Parks & Monuments, then declaring mismanagement & they need to be sold off. Remember Raygun's Sec Interior, James Watt?
i suffered thru the grump toxicity in his first term. the sense of dread came back like an unwelcome hurricane this time. i am doing the best i can to cope without collapse into deep depression. i don't think alcohol will help or would it?
Thank you for speaking truth to power Al, as always, and not subjecting us to that voice. You didn’t mention the most ominous thing Trump said in his inauguration address, IMO. “I was saved by God to make America great again.” Amidst all of the despotic language in the speech, this is the worst. I truly appreciate Bishop Budde for calling him out on it to his face, and all of the hypocrites enabling him.
So Al, when Minnesota joins Canada we get you also right? The Vikings, Twins, Wild and Al Franken! I can't wait! . Thanks Al, that really was a great one, disturbing but great.
I was a Navy Radioman and it scares me that he wants to give top secrets to friends with no security clearances. As Commander-In-Chief can't we court marshall him for that???????
I join the folks who declare they do not ever want to hear the voice of that guy. I've been that way since the election. I'll only hang on through news summaries as best I can. I can't even make it through them even now. I feel relieved to have given myself permission not to listen for the coming years. But I'm listening to you and your guests! Keep talking! Michael Moore also went down in flames declaring Harris had a lock on the election. Don't feel to bad.
@33:25 Al is wrong about the Evangelical view of Israel. They see Judea and Samaria (geographically, the West Bank) as not just part of Israel, but the heart of Israel. Huckabee has said there are no Palestinians and is no occupation.
Molly and Al both need to understand that people are complicated. I love Bill Maher. I also love Al Franken, Molly Jong-Fast, Rachel Maddow, Charlie Sykes, Tim Miller, James Carville, Sarah Longwell, etc., etc. You all have your own views. Ironically, I agree with most of what you all say, even though your ideologies swing both left and right of center. I think you would agree that the problems are with the extremists. Somehow, the left and the right must come together to beat these extremists. That's the real lesson that America has to learn.
Another here to whom Trump's voice is total anathema ... thank you for your consideration, Al!
Thank you for reading his speech instead of airing his voice!!! Every media outlet should do this! Thank you ❤

Please no more pictures or video either.
His face and voice is annoying and cringe....

I remember when Bush announced the push to Mars, and everyone rolled their eyes. Here we go again with a lot of nothing.
We can hope the 1st manned flight to Mars includes DJT, Elon, and their comrades.
Well, be honest. You know it will be a lot of embezzled funds. And that's not "nothing".

@@traymuse I was thinking the same thing. She sounds like a nag I once divorced...
LOVE YOU BOTH!
Thank you so much! I need you.😊
I wish you did more podcasts because I really enjoy listening to you guys.
On Mary Trump’s show they substitute the Liar in Chief’s voice with The Chipmunks when playing his clips.

I totally agree with the Dude that edits your podcast. The less I hear about Trump and his insanity the better. I am in the recovery process 👍🏼

There is already an American Airforce base in Thule, Greenland - very high north in Greenland..
He wants the natural resources in order to enrich himself and his cronies. If he gets his hands on Greenland, he will further destroy their environment just to dig out their wealth. It's not about national security at all. If it were, he'd just negotiate with them to place more defensive military there which as a NATO ally, they would welcome.
“Listeners do not like hearing his voice.” 🤣
every decade should be The Al Franken Decade.....love Molly....great show
I'm another American who can't look at orange man or hear his verbal toilet contents.
We already have a military base in Greenland
First thing the Danes said was that more bases and bigger bases would be totally acceptable. They’re fine with the military
@superclaymaster Those Danes are great!
30:33 “She’s not my type.” The day we have to worry about Trump hitting on female Bishops is the day the country has really jumped the shark.
He can’t help himself. 😊
He’s not her type!?!😅
This country hasn't jumped the shark? We were a laughing stock the first time, now the world is just scared.

Great show. So sad we are where we are. Hope we learn from this. Agree they should have let Harris run as Harris not Biden 2.0. Hope we all make it to the other side.
No drama Kamala Devi Harris would have won except for vote suppression, losing ballots, good old Elon.
Bullies always go for a non threatening target.
