The Al Franken Podcast

Jamelle Bouie - Columnist for the New York Times

With so much happening on the campaign trail, we turn to Jamelle Bouie for his first visit to the podcast. We discuss Donald Trump and JD Vance's attacks on the truth with their harmful comments on Haitian immigrants and their lies about abortion. We look at different Senate races around the country and what they could mean for the next President. And we get into Project 2025 and examine just how far Republicans are willing to let Trump go should he become President again. Spoiler alert: it would be terrifying!  Read Jamelle's latest in the NY Times: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/jamelle-bouie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/column/jamelle-bouie</a> Watch Jamelle's TikTok channel: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jamellebouie?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@jamellebouie?lang=en</a> We are coming to St. Louis and NYC for LIVE podcasts!

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.
