earlier this week, franken told the l.a.imes i'm in a different job, my old job was being funny basically, this is not my new job. franken has repeatedly said he wants to be a work horse, not a show horse. in the senate he secured funding for mental health screenings in school, passed foo and drug safety bills and tougher regulation for the credit rating agencies, they type of victories don't come every day, when you're part of the least productive congress in modern history. it seems like a steep price for a true comedic tall nlt for al franken to pay to give up a huge chunk of his public identity to be one of 100 senator who is don't get a chance to enact that many laws any more. so it's a trade-off that's satisfying for someone as talented as al franken. should we give our public servants more leeway to be who they really are? with me is a long-time friend of al franken's, norm morenstein. we have an interview with george w. bush your show broadcast from the convention floor, let's take a look at that. >> people in housto

republicans believe if there is a wave they can take al franken's seat.ts to show distance with the president because lisa marie democrats are hearing this back home from constituents wanting to know what's happening. don't take that to mean they want to vote to authorize action in iraq. democrats would like to avoid the issue and hope they can avoid any sort of vote, anything until after they return from the november elections. >> is this what we're in for state by state, race by race for 58 days, a debate about foreign policy, isis may be about immigration, not obama care and jobs at the top the list? >> foreign policy is rising. look at who the republican nominee is in alaska, iowa, new hampshire, it's military veterans on the republican side running in purple states, swing voters are wary of republican positions on economics and social issues. they're moving to the right on foreign policy, running as hawks, making democrats like franken feel uneasy, why they're spending like hawks as well. >> the president shifted and changed his position or timetable

joining me now, al franken, a co-sponsor of that.ow did you get 79 votes in the senate on anything? this is huge. >> i don't want to disillusion you. i now your staff director and the fnts committee under chairman moynahan. but sometimes procedural votes are taken for cynical reasons. and every time we've tried to reverse citizens united, the republicans have stopped us. and i think this was, this vote was taken to really slow down action in the senate on other things, on minimum wage, on equal pay on student loans, so i, every time we've tried to reverse this horrible decision made on a 5-4 basis to put in undisclosed and unlimited amounts of money into campaigns, we've been stopped by the republicans. and i don't think we're, i would love to think that we're going to pass this, but we're not. >> well, ted olsen wrote yesterday about this. he said when politicians seek to restrict fry speech, it is in r invariably protect their own interests. >> a vast majority know that this is wrong, we've seen, between 2008 and 2012, those two el

you have a guy like al franken in minnesota with a 99% chance of re-election.s guy, number one, doesn't know what he is doing. number two is the highest ranking following president obama's failed policies of anybody in the senate. yet, he has a 99% chance of re-election? i don't understand what's going on here that's why i distrust these models with false sense. >> 99% chance that al franken gets reelected. he is the favorite. rarely are their things- >> -- is minnesota so crazy that they don't understand that president obama is has not done a very good job in six years and this is his primary ache light. are the voters in minnesota that dim, that dense? no, look. first of all he has done a good job of keeping a low profile this cantankerous obnoxious guy. >> most ardent of the obama senators. >> down the line here is what he has done back home is down played that and a all of these people are particularly the last couple years the closer they get to the election the more they try to down play their attachment. >> i got it franken says he wants to do something

when al franken is criticizing you for being soft on terrorism, you've got an issue. i hope that the attorney general is going to prioritize this. we've seen what he does when he gets involved in something. we've seen how he personally went to ferguson. he focused his attention on it. and i'm not going out on too far a limb here to say i think isis poses a greater threat to the united states national security than the ferguson police department does. i trust the justice department will recognize that. and i trust that they will deploy sufficient resources to find out why minneapolis and st. paul have become a hot bed for isis and a recruiting ground for jihadists. >> right chl the two guys that just got killed fighting for isis are both from minneapolis, they went to high school together. they were friends wind up fighting for this terror group. and prior to that there was another guy that went to somalia. and this was his message for those who might consider joining him in the jihad. listen. >> if you guys only knew how much fun we have over here. this is the real di

the governor of minnesota and senator franken, governor dayton and senator franken they're held accountabley the people of -- all the people of minnesota whereas the minnesota vikings and their leadership are held accountable by advertisers and fans and when you're a politician and you're faced with the choice of supporting a football team and supporting a beaten 4-year-old child in this case, i'm not surprised by the statements made by the governor and senator franken at all. >> dana, so we're getting to this issue with due process within the nfl. due process exists in courts. in courtroom. >> right. >> but these guys have a performance contract that basically says like all performance contracts including the ones here at this network if you do anything that embarrasses us, we can get rid of you and, oh, by the way, if we discover something you did years ago that just surfaces now and embarrasses us we can get rid of you for that. what is the due process that the players association thinks they're talking about. >> this in this case it is specifically as i understand it the fact that all t

. >> franken people find these experts -- exurbs? >> look 2014 fall/winter it is on every major e book platform whatever service you like to use. >> is a pleasure to be with you. >> presently every being steel dreaming a book by my a colleague from illinois. he gave me a copy of this book about five or six months ago and i had planned to jump into it quickly but because of the life we live five was not able to but then it caused me to travel as quickly as possible. i created in organization in my district on the kansas city portion and'' we have done is the most high-profile african-american and many around the nation have friction between the two largest minorities in our country. >> so i want to avoid that to have a coalition so i brought the we speak tear is to speeto the bbc was a standing room only clark crowd and just said was standing room only and he emphasized what i have said in to get involved to do things together i am reading his book because it gives me insights into what we are experiencing as a minority i can assume w

al franken sent a terse letter to the white house.lling for military action, and they weren't alone. but there were more important developments yesterday, maybe not driven by political polls, but the united arab emirates condemned a spread of the islamic state. that's important. it's also important they said they'll support america in efforts against isis. so did the iraqi parliament, who would have loved to criticize america if we had taken action earlier without getting their go-ahead first. and while it's one thing to have kay hagan calling for a strong use of force. america actually asking questions first and shooting missiles later may actually lead to our country not having to go it alone again. and carry other countries' water. so the question is, where is egypt? tony blanken said they're going to be supportive. where is saudi arabia? i think they're going to be supportive, too. where is jordan? certainly you would think jordan would be supportive. and where are the other countries whose very existence depends on american fire

. >> senator, if you and senator feinstein and senator franken now of minnesota are all coming forwardand saying that more needs to be done, why is the president not getting the message? >> well, the president is not hesitating. as a matter of fact, august the 25th, he started the intelligence flights over syria. look at the success that we've had against isis in northern iraq and in kurdistan and so there are legal scholars who think that they need legislative authority for the president to strike in syria. i don't happen to agree with that. i think the president has the constitutional authority to do that. but because there is this ambiguity, that's why we ought to get rid of it. that's why we'll be offering the legislation. >> in a way you could help the president when you come back into session by putting this potentially up for a vote. in another way you could be hurting the president because then once congress potentially says yes to this and if he still does nothing, then where are we? >> well, the president has already done something and as a matter of fact, what he said today

so to address this problem, senator warren, senator franken and i and many democratic colleagues haveoined together to introduce the bank on students emergency loan bill. it would allow responsible borrowers to refinance the loans at lower rates, the rates there there -- the rates from last year, the lowest possible rates that have been in place. and these are currently only available to new borrowers. we think that everyone ought to have an opportunity to do that. in fact we, with lower interest rates have seen so many people, many of us refinancing our homes, taking advantage of lower interest rates, being able to use lower interest rates in other ways. but students have been prohibited, and even with the student loan has been prohibited from refinancing. and that's just plain wrong. and our bill would address that. passing this bill would help more than 25 million americans. i can't think of any one single thing that we could do that would immediately help 25 million people, including 1 million hardworking people in the state of michigan. a mother named francis from macone county o

senator al franken have been calling on the vikings to suspend peterson. the embattled running back still getting support from fellow players. >> i got what we called whoopings. with a belt and stuff like that. for me, growing up, it was normal. i most definitely discipline my daughter. i have a 1-year-old daughter i definitely will try to obviously not leave bruises, but i will definitely discipline her harsh depending on what the situation is. >> peterson has lost one of his deal castro motor oil. i'm surprised to hear that, so many of the brain science and child development experts like all of them say harsh punishment of a 2-year-old reinforces negative behavior and does not enforce positive discipline. >> watching that, having a 1-year-old. what do you discipline a 1-year-old for? being 1? >> he said harshly discipline. >> no-no longer has a team but ray rice has the nfl players association on his side. the league formally enforced rice's suspension claiming he was suspended twice for the same infraction. the union said the nflpa appeal was based on s

bob, senator feinstein, senator franken, senator nelson and a handful of other senators say president obama's lack of strategy is a problem, it's problematic and needs to develop something. >> what does that have to do with isis? >> you said isis isn't a threat. >> god, man. >> did you not say we are overestimating the isis threat? >> i think -- yes, i will say that. >> so senator feinstein, nelson, franken and a host of other senators don't think we're overstating the isis threat and think obama should come up with a strategy. anyway, from this morning, the presser overseas. he's -- president obama says we're going to degrade and destroy and then he goes into something about making it -- making isis a manageable problem. herpes is manageable. isis is deadly. we need to stop playing around with this. >> i'll agree to that. >> another thought.why isn't is? maybe putin is scarier than president obama. he have a strategy to combat hunger and obesity, but we don't have a strategy -- >> school lunches. >> terrorists kill russians every day. >> i have a strategy. forget let's move. how abou

franken: madam , i'm just going to come out and say it. citizens united was one of the worst decisions in the history of the supreme court. it was a disaster, a radical exercise of pro-corporate judicial activism. it was seriously flawed, both legally and factually. legally, the court trampled its own precedence. cases like austin v. michigan chamber of commerce and mcconnell v. federal elections commission, which had been on the books for years and stood for the obvious proposition that the people can enact reasonable limits on money and politics. factually, the court rested on its -- rested its conclusions on the faultiest of premises, that unlimited campaign expenditures by outside groups, including corporations, do not give rise to corruption or even the appearance of corruption. that assessment is just disconnected from reality and is horribly out of touch with the sentiments of most americans. for example, the league -- the minnesota league of women voters issued a report in which it concluded that -- quote -- "the influence of money

martha: he's hearing this from joe biden, elizabeth warren, al franken. you know, some people on observe what the president's posture is on this and say it's all part of the plan, that now you've got the uae offering help, military help coming in from germany, that he's working this entire situation behind the scenes and keeping a lower profile because he doesn't want to go it alone, he wallet withs everybody in. -- he wants everybody in. do you think that's what's happening? >> no. i do think he doesn't want to go it alone. i think he's terrified of taking action. this man, who we elected twice, seems incapable of making difficult decisions. as though it's some sort of deep psychological problem. but as far as coalition building goes, we need to get past the politics. remember, the left just excoriated bush, the younger, for not having a coalition, not having the world behind him. he had 48 nations onboard when we went into iraq in 2003. five out of every six contributed troops. his father built a tremendous coalition in desert storm. and obama is not go

ahora, los senadores demcratas bill nelson, de florida, al franken, de minesota y angus king de mainente que retrase cualquier accin sobre inmigracin. temen su posible impacto politico sobre el control del senado. (nat- obama "i want to be very clear.) quiero ser muy claro, aseguro obama al finalizar la cumbre de la otan, mi intension es que a falta de accion del congreso voy a hacer lo que pueda dentro de mis limites legales, porque es lo correcto para el pais. pero muchas organizaciones pro-inmigrantes dicen estar hartas de promesas rotas. s/ janet murguía, consejo nacional de la raza, nclr "ya estamos cansados de esperar. ahora es el momento de actuar y nosotros queremos que el presidente haga lo que dijo que iba a hacer" en marzo el presidente prometio emitir una orden para fines del verano. s/ liliana henao, washington, dc "entonces, para muchos la falta de accion presidencial implicaria una situacion cada vez menos esperanzadora para millones de indocumentados, incluyendo a miles de niÑos que han cruzado la frontera solos, creando una crisis humanitaria. segn las ultimas cifras

senator al franken, dianne feinstein said president obama is being too cautious in iraq. all of those are democrats, all losing patience with the community organizer president. and hollywood has had enough too. ron perlman, lori laughlin, mia farrow and others are fed up with our president but there's one group who still has his back side. the liberal mainstream media, still apologetic, still a lap dog, still looking up longing for approval, tongues dripping, tails wagging, check out this from brian williams. >> the answer today from both the president and vice president appeared to be clear and unambiguous. >> really? clear and unambiguous? what flavor brownies did they serve in the nbc commissary these days, brian? way to hold the commander in chief accountable. you're short changing your low info viewers. so folks, the media, the ones who should be demanding more from the president are giving him a pass and that is dangerous. but the media and president obama have had a long, ongoing love affair, a perfect couple. reminds me of another perfect match. the other question

doctor franken stein has nothing on him. >> if it is too large, you are condensing it the forcing it won't ripe even. fit is too small it won't fill the mold. then they in variable, a, mother nature. >> that was laurie perez reporting. >>> now carol we are in store for a great week ahead of us here. >> we really are. you know, today may be the worst day of of it and it will be a great day. so, that said i think we've got just smooth sailing in the weather department. we have a couple of minor exceptions. now we have some fog out there and a few low clouds just hovering around the the casinos and we are looking for this fog this morning. we are seeing it in the reading area as well. 62 degrees there. tricky driving at this point this morning with the fog and we have reduced visibility. .8 of a mile up through trenton. so be really careful out there driving around. .3 of a mile in lancaster and reduced visability just about every place else. so this will leave. we will be left with sun and clouds today. it looks like a really nice day coming up with just a couple of little things that

even al franken of minnesota said he was troubled by the administration's lack of strategy for hitting isis in syria, which make this two-day nato meeting so crucial. on the sidelines of the nato summit in wales, president obama is meeting with european allies in part to help build an international coalition to address the growing threat of isis in iraq and syria. the president co-authored an op-ed with british prime minister david cameron in today's "times of london" newspaper, accusing the group of brutal and poisonous extremism and vowed to strengthen their resolve against the terror group. vice president joe biden hammered the message home. >> we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. >> reporter: amid ongoing air strikes against targets in iraq, isis has kept up its brutality, beheading a second american, journalist steven sotloff this week. his father was at a loss for words yesterday. a spokesman deliver add message on behalf of the family. >> he was no hero. like all of us, he was a mere man who tried to find good concealed in a world of darkne

you also have senator al franken weigh in and say the same thing. >> legally speaking, jeffrey, whereoes this play out? >> under texas law, a charge of child abuse, there is a defense if the conduct is reasonable by the standards of the community. so the question will be, if these reports are true -- as far as we know, they are -- that peterson used this switch and injured his 4-year-old son, if this case goes to trial, and it probably will not. it will probably end in some sort of plea bargain. if it were to go to trial, the jury would have to decide, is that sort of treatment of a 4-year-old reasonable according to the standards of the community. clearly, spanking would not be a crime. but this use of a switch, at least the prosecutors and the grand jury thought this was a crime. >> switch. >> and that was the issue. >> being a branch or something like that? >> yeah. >> don, how do you think this is all playing out? >> well, i have to say that when i was a kid, i would have to go and get the switch off the tree. and if i brought back a switch that wasn't big enough, then my grandmot

. >>> let's go to washington now where i'm joined by bob franken.ays fun to talk to you, good morning, bob. >> you're not going to ask me about the all sex comment. >> and i'm not going to call you swe sweetheart. >> you can. >> how effective have they been in the fight against isis? >> at the speech he delivered at the united nations oz one of his better speeches where he laid out the united states world view particularly about isis. now, the question becomes will this coalition which has thus far in its formative stages build, to battle just what about everybody in the world thinks is an outrageous organization, isis. >> what are people wondering what these other countries are doing. i understand british prime minister david cameron is trying to get his country do more. >> mr. cameron has made it very clear that as far as he's concerned, the british air force and military forces should join this coalition. what's going to be also interesting is what other countries around the world make contributions. >> so, how strong, since we're waiting to see

that in and of itself maybe one of the reasons jeanne shaheen and al franken are trying to be a hawk. it's amazing you can go from the far right to the far left and everyone is telling the president to get tough. >> i said what are you going to do with the women vote? the democrats said similar to 2012, war on women, going at republicans on social issues. now they're looking internal polling, security moms, mothers concerned about the beheadings, they're wary of this situation, they're more hawkish than they were months ago. this matters to democrats. as they start to turn toward republicans it's a threat. >> will they just give the president changes in legislation that allows him to arm the syrian rebels and give them some money which he needs congressional authorization to do or will they give him a broad war authorization? >> i don't think you'll see a broad war authorization. harry reid doesn't want to have that debate and i don't think house republicans. you'll see a vote for authorization to arm the rebels, little else and steny hoyer on friday said we'll have a full war debate

minnesota's governor mark dayton and senator al franken also weighed in today, criticizing the team's decision to allow peterson to play this weekend. today, nike removed all of its peterson related merchandise from its stores in the twin cities area. >>> the company that owns t.j. maxx and marshall's agreed to pay nearly $3 million for illegally dumping hazardous waste in california. investigators found batteries cans and lamps in the company's dumpsters throughout the state including in the bay area. t.j. companies incorporated says it has adopted new policies and procedures to eliminate hazardous waste. >>> san francisco supervisor david campos wants an hiv prevention drug accessible to all residents free of charge. the drug has shown a 99% success rate preventing the spread of hiv. he says fewer than 1,000 city residents have access to it. he will introduce the plan at tonight's council meeting. >>> those who do not reinforce their properties against earthquakes may get a public shaming. next week the city will begin posting these signs on buildings whose owners have not complied

al franken said the president has been too soft. you know you are in big trouble. there is a reason for this. the president is sending mixed messages within the administration because no one knows where the president stands. the state department doesn't even say we are in. the president is not sending troops on the ground but is sending advisors. alall of a sudden they were jb w they are cancer. people will start to get on the same page, that is why there is no messaging. >> my dad would always say we have conditions. so if you don't have a strategy it not only tells your own people you don't have a strategy, you tell the enemy. bret baier e-mailed all of us this morning saying i'm getting these notes from guys over there in iraq, they are telling him chase them to the gates of hell? how are we going to do that when we cannot even leave the front gate of the base. they are getting mixed messages, our own soldiers. >> there waiting for the commander in chief to show some leadership, to show some interest in this country, we have the finest troops in this world, stan

senator al franken from the great state of minnesota, he's about as far left as you can get, he said i was troubled by the president's recent suggestion that the administration has not developed a comprehensive strategy to address the growing threat of isil's activities in syria. and he's not alone. >> right. out of massachusetts, elizabeth warren was asked by katie couric about it and she said this. >> isis is growing in strength and it has money, it has organization, it has the capacity to inflict real damage. so when we think about a response, we have to think about how to destroy that. we need to be working now full speed ahead with other countries to destroy isis. that should be our number one priority. >> senator warren sounds like someone who was sleeping in the other room and told to whisper. i understand her point. she's way to the left. ja nin shah neen who wants to win an election with the former senator brown says, quote, do not believe isil is manageable. agree that terrorists must be chased to the gates of hell the quote from joe biden. >> chasing is one thing. he said

al franken sounded hawkish this week by way of illustration of me not seeing a voice within the democratic party that is pursuing the non interventionist's path. >> i covered senator elizabeth warren's campaign. when i talked to those progressive voters, the liberals are uncomfortable with secretary clinton and the liberals. they are looking for someone in the republican party step up. they don't see martin o'malley doing that. we will see who will challenge clinton. can they challenge her ideologically on foreign policy? >> i know you are paying attention to the toss up senate races across the country. do you think we are about to see a change in the cycle where it is not the economy and not health care and it is actually foreign policy? >> we have seen health care and economics. these are issues on the fringe, but nothing has galvanized. i think foreign policy could be it. congress is coming back next week to try to fund the government and come up with a strategy for isis. we will see the key senate races in arkansas, iowa and new hampshire become the issue. >> robert, great to see you.
