@@pcoleman1971I love The Next Level podcast with those three!

Ya know, not for anything, but I am so sick and tired of folks harping on about President Biden appearing old and the way he walks. I have heard or read somewhere that he has issues with back pain. I'm 60+ and have low back pain; there are days when I walk JUST LIKE HIM because my back hurts and I am stiff when I first get out of a chair. It does not make me incompetent. It means that I need to move more and do some yoga. For Christ's sake, the man is the president of the US--that job will age anyone in 4 years. Clinton went into office with dark hair and came out with grey hair, as did Mr. Obama. 45 was the same color because he has stock in orange dye. I'd vote for Joe Biden if he was a corpse in a heartbeat before ever voting for a republican--don't care who it is at this point because they are all a**holes. And if voters are more concerned about a president's age than they are with the other guy leading the US to fascism and dictatorship, then America has more serious problems to worry about...just sayin'...
Yes, and the irony is that poor Donald is indisputably suffering from senile dementia. That's not a partisan criticism; it's observable in every rally.
45 came out the same color bc he has stock in orange dye AaaaND bc he didn't work. He slept late, watched TV, did some travel, and played golf. He had purdy much no interest in doing the job.
@@katydid2k Yes, but happytraveller was being kind about orange dye. T’s hair is golden and fake fake fake…you can read somewhere about the $$$ -and time!!-he pays for hair weaves.

As a moderate, and former republican, one of the strongest facts for me is the nearly complete abandonment of Orange by his former cabinet.

ask about it anyway. Hunter Biden has no influence on policy, and tbh the way Joe's treated the situation his son's in, proves that. Let's be real it was a bullshit charge that shouldnt have been brought, its rarely charged and there was no aggravating factor besides "Presidents son.Republican Prosecutor who spent years and wasted a ton of money investigating a guy with a mental health problem but not a serial crime problem" The story about Hunter Biden changed like 500 times since its original appearance in 2020, and none of it made it any more credible.

Yeah the President of that "foundation" is really a piece of work. He really thinks he is the shit. His comment so boldly that abortion is not health care .....like he has a uterus....like he has been carrying and pushing out babies. Just made me sooooooooooooooooooooooooo unhappy and angry. We women are NOT VESSELS. NO ONE WILL MAKE MY DAUGHTERS CARRY AND BIRTH BABIES IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO. POINT BLANK PERIOD.

Sarah Longwell is an institutional treasure (and a cutie!) and Tim Miller always has the two or three nuggets waiting in relief that not many thought of offhand. Good interview! (For a change)
Three of my favorite people together; I could listen to you all all day; Tim, Yes, Please do fly out and speak to as many people one on one as humanly possible. I gotta say, I'm super scared about this Thursday :(
"While you were sitting in court getting convicted of 34 felonies, I was responding to the natural disasters (extreme weather events) in Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennesee...."
How can it hurt Biden that he got us out of disastrous Afghanistan after 20 years? The military screwed up in leaving, but it's a blessing that we're no longer bogged down there.
@@tflg3257 The Taliban promised they wouldn't do any of the crazy stuff they did before 9/11. Trump or his people took them for their word but of course they lied.
If he doesn’t show Biden should take the air time to lay out his plan and prove his alertness…. Although the state of the union already did that, but everyone seems to have forgotten that already.
For sure Trump will yell over Biden. Biden will hear him, and Biden’s mic will pick him up. Trump will probably walk over and use Biden’s mic if the network doesn’t stop him,
He will have an issue yelling over Biden when his mic cuts and he looks like a fool with red face futile mouth spasms while literally silent on the TV. That would make him look even weaker. The mythos is that he can't be contained, eg "never surrender" while surrendering 😎
Thanks Al, Sarah, and Tim, this was fun!!! I am hoping that Bidens "team" is coming up with a response to whatever Trump brings up about Hunter. Biden prepared, can turn it into, I love my son, I'm proud of my son and his progress in sobriety. Hunter is not running for Prez I AM!!!! Or something similar. 🙏✌💓
When I was in college, I worked for RFK's campaign in Los Angeles. I would have been at the Sports Arena that night, but I had finals the next day. It broke my heart. When I see how his son turned out, I get the feeling he is rolling over in his grave.
PLEASE explain to me how gay people are Republicans. I feel like I'm watching smart people choose to be supportive of a group of people who publicly condemn their sexuality and, in effect, who they are as a person.
Most Republicans vote against their own interests. Their platforms are all smoke and mirrors to push Lower Taxes For the Wealthy. No corporate or estate taxes. Everything else is a ruse.
@@pally_wally Not really... conservatism is just the combination of nostalgia and reactionary sentiment pretending it has principles... the republican party is just the political vehicle for capturing that sentiment. They are different sides of the same coin. The bigger questions is why a gay man and a lesbian woman would spend the decade before Trump working for GOP politicians that hate them, want them expelled from public life, and seek to deny them basic civil rights... and what that says about the values Tim and Sarah really hold...
@@pally_wallyactually, they were once a part of the Republican party. Therefore, OPs correct. How are you gay and a Republican? Make it make sense, because they once were part of that party.
I used to know a gay conservative republican. He was against gay marriage and held all the conservative opinions on taxes, spending, social programs, etc. I wish I could make it make sense but I think the social contradictions (eg gay marriage) just kind of go with the rest of the tent. He wasn't an extreme conservative, and he would poke at appropriate contradictions/problems with the progressive platforms and actions, but I think a lot of it was just where he was raised and by whom. His partner was the flamboyant and liberal type. I would be more confused by someone who didn't start out conservative migrating to that position.
This was a great discussion about the upcoming debate. I agree with Sarah, Biden has to be aggressive like he was at the State of the Union Adress. Thanks, Al.
12:48 Better than "sore loser" hit him with "wanting a participation trophy"... that's the MAGA phrase they use all the time to make fun of "kids these days"... make fun of him with their words.
Shutting off his mic won't stop Trump from shouting nonsense that will get picked up on Biden's or the moderators' mics. I think that will work in Biden's favor.
On healthcare, not only did Trump try to appeal the ACA, he almost did, right? Didn’t Senator McCain cast the deciding vote, upon having to leave his cancer treatment to travel to DC so he could do so? Biden should hammer Trump on that point. Trump will say he has a beautiful replacement for ACA but then Biden should say that is a lie. Trump could have done that when he had the trifecta, but he didn’t.
If Biden says I won the election Trump will be so triggered he'll lose it but that charge needs to be leveled at just the right time, like just before Trump's closing statement so that Trump has to respond and ditches his prepared closing.
Excellent episode! Wasn't sure I was going to watch the debate, but now I'm curious to know whether Biden's prep people will be using any of this good advice. I'm a lifelong Democrat but I love the never-Trumpers.
Don't say people don't like either candidate, I love Joe. He's done so much for us and I think he's a wonderful guy. I may not agree with him on everything but I love Joe!💙🥰💙🥰💙🥰
Hey I live in Canada and this week it has been extremely hot over here too. This winter we had less snow than ever before; I enjoyed that because less shoveling and it cost less to heat the house; but the summers are too hot now. What I saved on the heating; I am now paying with the air-conditioning.
I gave a question about Sarah’s focus groups. When they show they think we are in a recession, is that ever corrected after the focus group is over? Like, are they given information to learn more about the actual state of things?
@@lubamordkovich4077 the fact that you can't name one tells me this question is dishonest, but lets start with the fact that Trump stopped pretending he was President even though the vaccines were ready to be distributed, shortly after he lost the election. I say pretending he was President because while he was officially the President, he spent most of his time doing either nothing, or counter productive things. If you were against the vaccine, then oh well, I suppose you thought it was better when the country was under constant chaos in 2020 because Trump was so concerned with winning the next election, but not concerned with doing things that would have won him that election. Trump had a full 2 months to do something with the vaccines he actually had a hand in getting produced pretty quickly, the best thing he did as president, and he set up 0 distribution infrastructure, and to boot because his followers cant think for themselves, many of them are now dead because they refused to believe that the vaccine worked. That alone should be enough of an achievement, though there are many others, like finally ending our occupation of Afghanistan, keeping NATO united against Russia, presiding over the best recovery from the Pandemic in the world, by all the metrics that one would score any other candidate on. The economy is doing fine besides higher food prices and housing , which is a direct result of corporate malpheasance and easily verifiable. Economic metrics those two things not withstanding, are as good as they can be. What achievements did Trump have? Tangible achievements. I can name 3 for sure, adding trillions to the deficit through his tax cuts which were just a corporate bribe and set the stage for them to take over the housing market in 2021/2022 when we were still dealing with covid, mainly because stubborn fools listened to the liars who cast doubt on the vaccine. The other great achievements of his was conspiring to steal the election in a multi-faceted conspiracy that thankfully failed on all of the components, and appointing 3 supreme court justices who took away rights to normal healthcare for women. A C section is considered an abortion, and is a very common procedure to GIVE birth, not to abort the baby. But Republicans just lie about this because their base isn't smart enough to investigate their claims. He also traumatized migrants, who we actually rely on to do the jobs that no american wants to do, but Republicans who know this just keep using it as a political hammer. The Republican party is regressive, illogical, totally full of shit, and supportive of the worst traits of Americans.
Regarding Afghanistan, Biden's response should be that trump's direct negotiations with the Taliban, excluding the Afghanistan government that the U.S. had supported for twenty years, and trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters might have had something to do with the troubled withdrawal. I believe it was 11 or 13 U.S. soldiers lost in the withdrawal. Tragic, indeed, but trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters just might have had something to do with that. The complete collapse of the Afghanistan government might have had something to do with trump's direct negotiation with the Taliban, basically telling the Taliban that he was going to give the country to them. Biden had only been in office a few months. For him to reverse the damage done by trump would have required effectively starting the whole damn intervention over again.
Just found your podcast Mr Franklin! I've always admired and supported you. Isn't it wild how you were forced to resign over complete nonsense compared to our current political circus? Wanted to tell you many years ago I was traveling from Madeline Island to Minneapolis airport, speeding because I didn't take into account the time change. I got a ticket and told the officer I had no problem with getting one because I wanted to support the state that elected Al Franklin...haha...the officer laughed. Nice to hear you here!
My memory on the Afghanistan exit is somewhat spotty, but wasn't it the Trump administration that forced the exit date that the Biden administration had to follow (for whatever reason)?
Exactly! Biden needs to combat his “negatives” with the reasons he was there in the first place… Afghanistan, inflation, economy in general, Israeli conflict, etc.
Yep, they drew down the forces to 2,500, negotiated directly with the Taliban without involving the Afghan government, and released 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison They deliberately set the Afghan government up to fail
the world has changed since FDR. also they are both older than FDR. The problem isnt the walking. He has trouble getting his points across. This is what huge group of democrats were worried about. He should have not run a second term. How old does genx have to get before one can be on the ballot?
If the economy was good, my husband would have a job. He was laid off & it took him three months to find a job. His job only lasted three months & he’s been looking almost four months! It normally takes him two months to find a job and jobs normally last at least two or three years… I talked to an acquaintance today who got laid off & decided to retire. Another person in my husband’s family has been unemployed for a year. We live 35 minutes from Silicon Valley & I’m hearing the job market is tough. A recruiter told my husband that the job market is tough for his specialty. We haven’t seen this kind of unemployment since 2009. Also, the EDD owes my husband almost four months of unemployment. He’s gone down there twice. They messed up with no explanation. Gavin Newsom’s EDD. They only take your money.

@@Laura-il5lo ya got no evidence again - -- “The data is clear: in its fourth year, the Biden administration’s enforcement of oil sanctions has significantly deteriorated. This substantial sanctions relief for the radical Islamist regime in Tehran is driven by domestic politics in the election year rather than U.S. national interests.” - Saeed Ghasseminejad, FDD Senior Iran and Financial Economics Advisor “The Biden administration’s lack of sanctions enforcement has further emboldened the Islamic Republic in its efforts to suppress dissident voices domestically and expand its malign influence abroad. The growing economic and military ties between kleptocrats in Tehran and Beijing are essential to the regime’s funding of its terrorist apparatus and nuclear ambitions, and these malign actors will continue to exploit this appeasement policy so long as they do not fear the repercussions of evading U.S. sanctions.” - Janatan Sayeh, FDD Research Analyst Iranian Crude Oil Exports Rising, Fueling Global Terror Iranian oil exports continue to increase and pad Tehran’s budget, fueling Iran’s domestic repression, nuclear program, and support for terrorist proxy groups around the Middle East. In March, Iranian oil exports reached their highest point since October 2018, when the Trump administration reimposed key oil sanctions lifted during the previous Obama administration. During the Biden administration’s tenure, Iranian oil exports have totaled at least $100 billion. China purchases between 80-90 percent of available Iranian oil, while most of the remainder is destined for Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. In April, Congress passed the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum (SHIP) Act, imposing new sanctions on entities that engage in or facilitate Iran’s illicit oil trade, specifically targeting foreign ports and refineries. In January, a bipartisan, bicameral congressional coalition urged President Joe Biden to crack down on Iranian illicit oil exports and apply further sanctions on entities supporting Iran’s oil trade. ^^^ source, FEDERATION IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES
@@Laura-il5lo DNC spokesperson, DONNA HYLTON, picked up 62-year-old Thomas Vigliarole on March 8 in Elmhurst, Queens, at Maria’s home, and drugged him to make him drowsy. Then they drove him to Selma’s apartment in Harlem. The apartment had already been prepared for an extended torture session: The closet door had been cut, a pot put in it for use as a toilet, the windows boarded. For the next 15 to 20 days (police aren’t sure just when Vigliarole died), the man was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured. (Even 10 years later, Spurling could recall Rita’s chilling response when they questioned her about shoving a three-foot metal bar up Vigliarole’s rear: “He was a homo anyway.” How did she know? “When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled.”) The three girls took turns watching the man. It was Donna who delivered a ransom note and tape to a friend of Vigliarole’s, who was able to get a partial license plate number of the car she was driving. He notified the police, who traced the plate to a rental car facility
I think Biden should bring up immigration and explain his policy and how Trump killed the legislation. And how Trump’s policies are convenient and are not based on what’s good for the country, but what’s good for him so he can win and not go to jail.
Oh ye of little faith! Biden has out performed expectations every single time. I was a Kamala supporter. Biden was my last choice. He got me when he chose Kamala but I still didn’t love him. Then I saw how much he got done that people said he couldn’t do. More than most his predecessors back to FDR. He has been the adult. He is good with zingers. He has kept his cool. His admin has been tight. It is fucking amazing. MOST presidents age tremendously after 4 years. But most don’t have to deal with a global pandemic, two major international conflicts, an insurrection, an ongoing slow-moving coup. And he has done a fantastic job.
I'm stoked. I believe that President Biden is going to make great emphasis on his work for Americans AND pound Convicted Felon tRump into dust before our eyes. Thank you, Sarah, Tim and Al.

Voters have short memories. How many actually remember Afghanistan? They don't remember what life was like under Covid. Trump would have to re explain what happened in Afghanistan and why it was bad.
I think all Biden needs to do is ask Trump about any of the Project 2025 policies on his website. “So Mr. Trump, how will your plan to change schedule F improve government?” I bet any amount of money he has no freaking clue what schedule F is or what his own policy on it is supposed to be.

Biden should invite every woman The Defendant assaulted, every contractor he failed to pay, and every cop that defended the Capitol on January 6 to sit in the front row. Not sure there are enough seats, though.
why doesn't any of the news media talk about how many days Trump spent on the golf course during his 4 years presidency and the amout of money the Secret Service had to pay his hotels enriching Trump?
Let’s face it…nobody would have thought trump would have the balls to run again after his actions as president. Biden wasn’t planning on running in 2024 but the orange menace has no shame….so here we are.

I was so thankful when Sen. McCain voted down the legislation to repeal the ACA, and replace it with health insurance plans that were cheap, but basically covered nothing, might as well just throw that money for the cheaper health insurance in the trash. Trump and his GOP enablers will try to repeal the ACA again. Biden has accomplished so much in his 1st term, he deserves another term and we deserve to have a president who is experienced, smart and respected, not the man the world is laughing at, the candidate the axis wants.

How can it hurt Biden that he got us out of disastrous Afghanistan after 20 years? The military screwed up in leaving, but it's a blessing that we're no longer bogged down there.
@JR-pr8jb
Duh. President Trump specifically arranged our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Joe didn't want to leave.
@@tflg3257 The Taliban promised they wouldn't do any of the crazy stuff they did before 9/11. Trump or his people took them for their word but of course they lied.
@@tflg3257
Putin & Fukump surrendered to the effing enemy & dropped it in biden's lap.
The fast pullout template was put in place by djt.
@@tflg3257that is such bs. Btw Trump is NOT President. Trump left a shshow for PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!
I don’t think he’ll have the guts to show. If he does he will have no issue with yelling over Biden.
If he doesn’t show Biden should take the air time to lay out his plan and prove his alertness…. Although the state of the union already did that, but everyone seems to have forgotten that already.
He'll show. He wants to have trials gone and NOT die in jail.
For sure Trump will yell over Biden. Biden will hear him, and Biden’s mic will pick him up. Trump will probably walk over and use Biden’s mic if the network doesn’t stop him,
He will have an issue yelling over Biden when his mic cuts and he looks like a fool with red face futile mouth spasms while literally silent on the TV. That would make him look even weaker. The mythos is that he can't be contained, eg "never surrender" while surrendering 😎
No, he will find some graduation to go to or something.
Thanks Al, Sarah, and Tim, this was fun!!! I am hoping that Bidens "team" is coming up with a response to whatever Trump brings up about Hunter. Biden prepared, can turn it into, I love my son, I'm proud of my son and his progress in sobriety. Hunter is not running for Prez I AM!!!! Or something similar. 🙏✌💓
When I was in college, I worked for RFK's campaign in Los Angeles. I would have been at the Sports Arena that night, but I had finals the next day. It broke my heart. When I see how his son turned out, I get the feeling he is rolling over in his grave.
His son polls better against Trump in head-to-head polls than Biden does. Biden should drop out and endorse his hero’s son.
PLEASE explain to me how gay people are Republicans. I feel like I'm watching smart people choose to be supportive of a group of people who publicly condemn their sexuality and, in effect, who they are as a person.
Most Republicans vote against their own interests. Their platforms are all smoke and mirrors to push Lower Taxes For the Wealthy. No corporate or estate taxes. Everything else is a ruse.
They are conservative not Republican. Huge difference.
@@pally_wally Not really... conservatism is just the combination of nostalgia and reactionary sentiment pretending it has principles... the republican party is just the political vehicle for capturing that sentiment. They are different sides of the same coin. The bigger questions is why a gay man and a lesbian woman would spend the decade before Trump working for GOP politicians that hate them, want them expelled from public life, and seek to deny them basic civil rights... and what that says about the values Tim and Sarah really hold...
@@pally_wallyactually, they were once a part of the Republican party. Therefore, OPs correct. How are you gay and a Republican? Make it make sense, because they once were part of that party.
I used to know a gay conservative republican. He was against gay marriage and held all the conservative opinions on taxes, spending, social programs, etc. I wish I could make it make sense but I think the social contradictions (eg gay marriage) just kind of go with the rest of the tent. He wasn't an extreme conservative, and he would poke at appropriate contradictions/problems with the progressive platforms and actions, but I think a lot of it was just where he was raised and by whom. His partner was the flamboyant and liberal type. I would be more confused by someone who didn't start out conservative migrating to that position.
This was a great discussion about the upcoming debate.
I agree with Sarah, Biden has to be aggressive like he was at the State of the Union Adress.
Thanks, Al.

Lol
Biden should come dressed as the Land Shark from SNL. Selling batteries!☮️
He could swoop in like an eagle.
Big heavy batteries, on a cart.
How to run the presidential debates ? Anybody remember The Gong Show ?!🐾🇩🇰❤
Biden models after Eisenhower and Roosevelt.... tRump models after Putin- THAT is the difference.
Shutting off his mic won't stop Trump from shouting nonsense that will get picked up on Biden's or the moderators' mics. I think that will work in Biden's favor.
I hope, if trump does, Biden will give him another withering "Oh, shut up..." like he did the 1st time! 💙💙💙💙💙
Is there a wall between them so he can't lurk behind Biden the way he did Hilary.
How do you think it worked out?
On healthcare, not only did Trump try to appeal the ACA, he almost did, right? Didn’t Senator McCain cast the deciding vote, upon having to leave his cancer treatment to travel to DC so he could do so? Biden should hammer Trump on that point. Trump will say he has a beautiful replacement for ACA but then Biden should say that is a lie. Trump could have done that when he had the trifecta, but he didn’t.
If Biden says I won the election Trump will be so triggered he'll lose it but that charge needs to be leveled at just the right time, like just before Trump's closing statement so that Trump has to respond and ditches his prepared closing.
@basketballsteve54
Nobody actually believes Biden won the election.

Excellent episode! Wasn't sure I was going to watch the debate, but now I'm curious to know whether Biden's prep people will be using any of this good advice. I'm a lifelong Democrat but I love the never-Trumpers.
Don't say people don't like either candidate, I love Joe. He's done so much for us and I think he's a wonderful guy. I may not agree with him on everything but I love Joe!💙🥰💙🥰💙🥰
_Just say _*_"NO!"_*_ to Trump_
Kamala VP debate(s).👍 Put her out there often and in Natuonwide mainstream media. 🗣️💖
Hey I live in Canada and this week it has been extremely hot over here too. This winter we had less snow than ever before; I enjoyed that because less shoveling and it cost less to heat the house; but the summers are too hot now. What I saved on the heating; I am now paying with the air-conditioning.
I gave a question about Sarah’s focus groups. When they show they think we are in a recession, is that ever corrected after the focus group is over? Like, are they given information to learn more about the actual state of things?
Great discussion! Hope Biden people are listening and taking notes.
Biden should outline his achievements, his vision and nothing else. Listing trump’s failures and faults would take a decade. Steady as she goes.
What achievements?
@@lubamordkovich4077 the fact that you can't name one tells me this question is dishonest, but lets start with the fact that Trump stopped pretending he was President even though the vaccines were ready to be distributed, shortly after he lost the election. I say pretending he was President because while he was officially the President, he spent most of his time doing either nothing, or counter productive things.
If you were against the vaccine, then oh well, I suppose you thought it was better when the country was under constant chaos in 2020 because Trump was so concerned with winning the next election, but not concerned with doing things that would have won him that election. Trump had a full 2 months to do something with the vaccines he actually had a hand in getting produced pretty quickly, the best thing he did as president, and he set up 0 distribution infrastructure, and to boot because his followers cant think for themselves, many of them are now dead because they refused to believe that the vaccine worked. That alone should be enough of an achievement, though there are many others, like finally ending our occupation of Afghanistan, keeping NATO united against Russia, presiding over the best recovery from the Pandemic in the world, by all the metrics that one would score any other candidate on.
The economy is doing fine besides higher food prices and housing , which is a direct result of corporate malpheasance and easily verifiable. Economic metrics those two things not withstanding, are as good as they can be.
What achievements did Trump have? Tangible achievements. I can name 3 for sure, adding trillions to the deficit through his tax cuts which were just a corporate bribe and set the stage for them to take over the housing market in 2021/2022 when we were still dealing with covid, mainly because stubborn fools listened to the liars who cast doubt on the vaccine. The other great achievements of his was conspiring to steal the election in a multi-faceted conspiracy that thankfully failed on all of the components, and appointing 3 supreme court justices who took away rights to normal healthcare for women. A C section is considered an abortion, and is a very common procedure to GIVE birth, not to abort the baby. But Republicans just lie about this because their base isn't smart enough to investigate their claims.
He also traumatized migrants, who we actually rely on to do the jobs that no american wants to do, but Republicans who know this just keep using it as a political hammer.
The Republican party is regressive, illogical, totally full of shit, and supportive of the worst traits of Americans.
@@lubamordkovich4077 All of them.
Is it wrong to hope that Trump simply *evaporates* the instant they shut his mic off?
...
*_"What a wooorld! What a woooOOOooorld!"_*
Regarding Afghanistan, Biden's response should be that trump's direct negotiations with the Taliban, excluding the Afghanistan government that the U.S. had supported for twenty years, and trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters might have had something to do with the troubled withdrawal.
I believe it was 11 or 13 U.S. soldiers lost in the withdrawal. Tragic, indeed, but trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters just might have had something to do with that. The complete collapse of the Afghanistan government might have had something to do with trump's direct negotiation with the Taliban, basically telling the Taliban that he was going to give the country to them. Biden had only been in office a few months. For him to reverse the damage done by trump would have required effectively starting the whole damn intervention over again.
Exactly, he surrendered to the ENEMY, then dumped it all in bidens lap.
Yup
Loved it!
Just found your podcast Mr Franklin! I've always admired and supported you. Isn't it wild how you were forced to resign over complete nonsense compared to our current political circus?
Wanted to tell you many years ago I was traveling from Madeline Island to Minneapolis airport, speeding because I didn't take into account the time change. I got a ticket and told the officer I had no problem with getting one because I wanted to support the state that elected Al Franklin...haha...the officer laughed. Nice to hear you here!
Why don’t we all talk about Pres Bidens ACCOMPLISHMENTS instead of his freaking age. My mom is in 90s and she’s fine mentally!!
I hope Biden's debate prep team listens to this. Hitting all the right points. And, before I forget, Al Franken needs to get back in office.
Great episode, for a change😊❤️
My memory on the Afghanistan exit is somewhat spotty, but wasn't it the Trump administration that forced the exit date that the Biden administration had to follow (for whatever reason)?
It was.
Yes it was
Exactly! Biden needs to combat his “negatives” with the reasons he was there in the first place… Afghanistan, inflation, economy in general, Israeli conflict, etc.
Because they knew from midterms that trump was a loser.
Yep, they drew down the forces to 2,500, negotiated directly with the Taliban without involving the Afghan government, and released 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison
They deliberately set the Afghan government up to fail

I know, different media era. They kept a lot of secrets..
Biden is no Roosevelt
the world has changed since FDR. also they are both older than FDR. The problem isnt the walking. He has trouble getting his points across. This is what huge group of democrats were worried about. He should have not run a second term. How old does genx have to get before one can be on the ballot?
If the economy was good, my husband would have a job. He was laid off & it took him three months to find a job. His job only lasted three months & he’s been looking almost four months! It normally takes him two months to find a job and jobs normally last at least two or three years…
I talked to an acquaintance today who got laid off & decided to retire.
Another person in my husband’s family has been unemployed for a year.
We live 35 minutes from Silicon Valley & I’m hearing the job market is tough. A recruiter told my husband that the job market is tough for his specialty.
We haven’t seen this kind of unemployment since 2009.
Also, the EDD owes my husband almost four months of unemployment. He’s gone down there twice. They messed up with no explanation.
Gavin Newsom’s EDD. They only take your money.
What if trump walks over to Biden’s microphone. Will secret service move him back to his place?
A little unpleasant part of me hopes he tries to stalk Biden just so the secret service can tackle him.
You know he will, and no one will do anything.
I wonder what would happen if Biden would say to Trump , “I’m President and YOURE NOT!!! I’d love to see rump deal with that.
Rump is right in his name 😆
Great idea
Rump is more president than we'd like, his influence is alive in politics.
He is a president in the name only but not for long

@@Laura-il5lo ya got no evidence again - -- “The data is clear: in its fourth year, the Biden administration’s enforcement of oil sanctions has significantly deteriorated. This substantial sanctions relief for the radical Islamist regime in Tehran is driven by domestic politics in the election year rather than U.S. national interests.” - Saeed Ghasseminejad, FDD Senior Iran and Financial Economics Advisor
“The Biden administration’s lack of sanctions enforcement has further emboldened the Islamic Republic in its efforts to suppress dissident voices domestically and expand its malign influence abroad. The growing economic and military ties between kleptocrats in Tehran and Beijing are essential to the regime’s funding of its terrorist apparatus and nuclear ambitions, and these malign actors will continue to exploit this appeasement policy so long as they do not fear the repercussions of evading U.S. sanctions.” - Janatan Sayeh, FDD Research Analyst
Iranian Crude Oil Exports Rising, Fueling Global Terror
Iranian oil exports continue to increase and pad Tehran’s budget, fueling Iran’s domestic repression, nuclear program, and support for terrorist proxy groups around the Middle East. In March, Iranian oil exports reached their highest point since October 2018, when the Trump administration reimposed key oil sanctions lifted during the previous Obama administration. During the Biden administration’s tenure, Iranian oil exports have totaled at least $100 billion. China purchases between 80-90 percent of available Iranian oil, while most of the remainder is destined for Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
In April, Congress passed the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum (SHIP) Act, imposing new sanctions on entities that engage in or facilitate Iran’s illicit oil trade, specifically targeting foreign ports and refineries. In January, a bipartisan, bicameral congressional coalition urged President Joe Biden to crack down on Iranian illicit oil exports and apply further sanctions on entities supporting Iran’s oil trade. ^^^ source, FEDERATION IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES
@@Laura-il5lo DNC spokesperson, DONNA HYLTON, picked up 62-year-old Thomas Vigliarole on March 8 in Elmhurst, Queens, at Maria’s home, and drugged him to make him drowsy. Then they drove him to Selma’s apartment in Harlem. The apartment had already been prepared for an extended torture session: The closet door had been cut, a pot put in it for use as a toilet, the windows boarded.
For the next 15 to 20 days (police aren’t sure just when Vigliarole died), the man was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured. (Even 10 years later, Spurling could recall Rita’s chilling response when they questioned her about shoving a three-foot metal bar up Vigliarole’s rear: “He was a homo anyway.” How did she know? “When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled.”)
The three girls took turns watching the man. It was Donna who delivered a ransom note and tape to a friend of Vigliarole’s, who was able to get a partial license plate number of the car she was driving. He notified the police, who traced the plate to a rental car facility
Great one, Al! I watch these two a lot.

I think Biden should bring up immigration and explain his policy and how Trump killed the legislation. And how Trump’s policies are convenient and are not based on what’s good for the country, but what’s good for him so he can win and not go to jail.
Oh ye of little faith! Biden has out performed expectations every single time. I was a Kamala supporter. Biden was my last choice. He got me when he chose Kamala but I still didn’t love him. Then I saw how much he got done that people said he couldn’t do. More than most his predecessors back to FDR. He has been the adult. He is good with zingers. He has kept his cool. His admin has been tight. It is fucking amazing. MOST presidents age tremendously after 4 years. But most don’t have to deal with a global pandemic, two major international conflicts, an insurrection, an ongoing slow-moving coup. And he has done a fantastic job.
I'm stoked. I believe that President Biden is going to make great emphasis on his work for Americans AND pound Convicted Felon tRump into dust before our eyes. Thank you, Sarah, Tim and Al.

Inflation is not high - it is at the multi-decade normal level. What she's really complaining about is that prices spiked during the inflation spike and companies have refused to return prices back to the pre-spike level. It's the companie's fault, not the government's.

Voters have short memories. How many actually remember Afghanistan? They don't remember what life was like under Covid. Trump would have to re explain what happened in Afghanistan and why it was bad.
Thanks Al, that was a good video. Makes me think! Good topics!
I think all Biden needs to do is ask Trump about any of the Project 2025 policies on his website. “So Mr. Trump, how will your plan to change schedule F improve government?” I bet any amount of money he has no freaking clue what schedule F is or what his own policy on it is supposed to be.
Started with a great chuckle, thanks
Great show
A great insight on what Trump will do is he will PROJECT. So we will anticipate what he will say.
I love Sarah and Tim, but if Al wants a real challenge, he should have JVL on and see, if he can burst JVL's doom and gloom, or maybe JVL will simply wear down Al's optimism. Either way, it would be a glorious discussion!
I second this!
JVL is a realist.

He is running because he is scared.
I agree. I think Biden was asked by Democrat leadership to run again once they knew Trump was the nominee. He beat him before so they’re hoping he can beat him again. Any other choice would be too risky.

I was so thankful when Sen. McCain voted down the legislation to repeal the ACA, and replace it with health insurance plans that were cheap, but basically covered nothing, might as well just throw that money for the cheaper health insurance in the trash. Trump and his GOP enablers will try to repeal the ACA again. Biden has accomplished so much in his 1st term, he deserves another term and we deserve to have a president who is experienced, smart and respected, not the man the world is laughing at, the candidate the axis wants.
