it is amazing to have to go at an-one with al franken state fair in minnesota. sometimes we have to do that. my favorite moment was he called me and said he liked my jokes. and i said i like your jokes. he said i prepared and you just had to put that together. ad i said you were professional comedian and i was a prosecutor. i do think having some people with a little sense of humor in this town can go a long way. steve: senator amy klobuchar, thank you. amy klobuchar: thank you. >> the u.s. house will return to work after his july 4 way. you wrote that speaker ryan plans a houseboat on gun provisions. while of the main details on that note? billy: the speaker's office just released to details. is wrapped up in the lingo of counterterrorism. that is the spin they are putting on that apparently. it includes a provision to prevent terrorists from buying guns. the bill in the senate from senator cornyn. the democrats in the house and the senate. >> as you said it is pretty close to what senator cornyn offered but the republicans blocked that. if you were a house dem

al franken! [laughter] [applause] so al, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, no, no. she is actually, she is, she is the other senator from minnesota. and she says, how cool is this? husband and wife senators! [laughter] so i figure, part of my role is to walk mark warner through these next few months. yeah, i will be uniquely gulfed to do this. but you know, didn't tim kaine do a great job last night. so excited about what he did. [applause] and just to be, oh, i was sitting next to hispanic man, it was hilarious, i was sitting with vice president mondale who at 88 came to hear tim speak, okay? [applause] so there we were. and when he would speak in this perfect spanish of course, mondale would turn to the delegate, what just happened? what did he say? it was such a funny of reversal of roles, sign him changing of times and what tim kaine stands for. i loved it. i love the stuff he was saying about trump and taxes and everything else. i think that is going to be quite rallying cry about him not putting up his taxes. i don't think anyone can do it better than the hone

and you might notice, hi, senator franken, thanks for joining the deal. >> we're talking about minnesota corn beef. >> deep discussions. >> we were talking sarah silverman. what did you make of that moment, that bernie or bust comment? >> latest polls are for will hillary. this is a little earlier in the night. >> sacrificing the mike. >> you're an old pro. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> that's right. >> reporter: you're funny on the floor all the time, senator. >> the campaign asked me to be funny, to kind of do -- oh, okay. really? on this you got to eat the mic here? they asked me to be -- to heap scorn and ridicule on trump with comedy. i said i'll do anything for hillary, even be funny. >> reporter: what was it like back there with sarah silverman with a fellow comedian? >> it was fun. it was fun. we worked it out very quickly. at one point when i was going to let her do her speech, she said "get out of my frame." then i realized i won't get out of your frame until she told me. >> reporter: but she had the moment when she said to the bernie and bust people you're being ridiculous. w

>>reporter: franken julie, -- frank and julie, we heard last night about three suspects. we heard this afternoon, those three suspects have been cleared. the investigation does it -- continue. they have found bomb making material at johnson's mother's house, a journal, rifles and scary stuff going on inside that house. >> tool, you have been there all day. what's it like being in dallas tonight?>>reporter: it's been erie, a silence is hovering over the city. now that night is falling, people are getting a little bit more jittery. there is a sense, there are sirens going by periodically, just a general sense of concern. i don't want to be an alarmist, there is some concern here. people are being extra cautious. as far as the police go, they are doubling up. they are not patrolling solo. that could continue for quite some time. >> our hearts go out to the families and the children of those officers left behind. joel, thank you. >>> hillary clinton spoke at the african methodist episcopal convention center in philadelphia today, saying people are crying out for an end to gun

people that listen to al franken and rachel madow are just more open minded. liberals do better as authors. not on radio. the brain washing of my dad. a lovable father democrat and suddenly a decade later he was yelling liberals are terrible and they could not understand what happened. they traced it to his commute to and from work he was listening to rush limbaugh. it is rush and you in a car unlike someone cooking and talking to their family. they have brain washed not all of america but one fourth of the country are racially intolerant. like we saw in austria, britain, france. western countries have this fringe that spoke loudly in the presidential primaries this year but will be out voted by i think the progressive majority. >> c-span: if rush limbaugh was sitting here i suggest he would say that is the biggest bunch of baloney i have heard. my listeners are intelligent. >> guest: they filter out saying of course it exists. both sides do it but one side is more observing of science and that is the progressive democrats. the other side believing more in fai

[cheering] i'm al franken. [cheering] from minnesota.renowned expert on right-wing megalomaniacs. [cheering] limbaugh, bill o'reilly, and now donald trump. a little about my qualifications, i got my doctorate in megalomania studies from trump university. [laughter] sure, i had to empty out my 401(k) and take a reverse mortgage on my house to pay tuition, but mr. trump, or rather some people who say they once met him, convinced me that it was worth it. and frankly, as a proud alum of trump university, i think we may be underestimating donald trump. he scanned the loss of people, what did you know that trump university school of grouping people off his right nation -- second in the nation? right behind bernie madoff university. [laughter] that is no mean the. -- feat. trump university is about more than just milking people. although trust me, you will get .ilked it is also about learning directly from success experts. bai,scottdale -- scott mike tyson, and of course a lifetime -- life-size cardboard cutout of mr. trump himself. come would

i talked with the senator franken, representative elson, lieutenant governor. we had a conference call a short while ago for drafting a letter that we will sign jointly and go to the attorney general. u.s. attorney general asking for this investigation or participation on behalf of the department of justice and federal government in this manner. i can't say how seriously i take this. i can't say how shocked i am and how deeply, deeply offended that this would occur in minnesota to somebody who got pulled over for a tail light being out of order. totally unacceptable it is by all standards and values that i hold dear and i treasure about this state. it is such a terrible incident did occur. life was taken away. so when i met with people gathered outside the governor's residence, i said that they wanted justice. i will vow that they will receive justice. i don't know what course i take, that will depend upon all facts and circumstances. justice will be served. justice must be served in this instance if we are going to have a chance to repair the terrible damage d

senator franken. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to talk about something that's a particular interest to me making sure that foster kids can state in their cool when they change foster parents. >> a young lady ended up going to hamlin, very much, a very impressive young lady. she missed fourth grade entirely when she changed parents. >> very often the only constant in their life is their school. what has been going on is the kids who have a favorite subject, a teacher, an activity in their school that is the biggest constant in their life, friends for goods in' sake, suddenly changed foster parents and are forced to go to a different school. everyone sort of agreed, finally, and we got this done. the way we wrong it in e.s.s.a., is the school direct and the public well fair agencies have to figure out how to pay for transportation. to get the school -- so in your proposed regulation, school districts are ultimately providing transportation for foster since it's the comment period on that regulation, i'd like to comment and i'

al franken. [laughter] i said no, no, no.other senator from minnesota and she said how cool is this? husband and wife senators. [laughter] i figure part of my role is to what came through the next few months so that we could be qualified to do this. didn't timm came to a great job last night? and the hispanic man was hilarious because mondale came to hear him speak last night. he is 88. [applause] he with speaking perfect spanish then return to the delicate what did he say? it was a funny reversal of roles and a sign of the changing times i love did what he said about tromp and taxes and everything else and a think anybody else can do that better than the honest tim kane. and i was so worried because i have been all over tv because i sit next to him and i've gotten to know him. seven now will lose credibility. so i would like to know we would like to know our heritage we gave the world hubert humphrey. [applause] walter mondale, and now we will give the world tim kane. minnesota moms balance the babies on then me one day u.k.

. >> there was also minnesota senator and former snl cast memberer al franken and booker's impassioned speech for a better america. >> donald's trump dare i say huge success as a businessman qualified him to be president. if you believe that i have got some delicious trump steaks to sell you. >> king pointed to the mountain top. pointed to those who stood at stone wall giants before in us said in a cohorus of con jiks. we will rise. >> it was michelle obama that brought them to their feet. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that some how we need to make it great again because this right now is the greatest country on earth. when crisis hits, we don't turn against each other. no, we listen to each other. we lean on each other because we are always stronger together. i am here tonight because i know that that is the kind of president that hillary clinton will be. that's why in this election i'm with her. >> democrats turned out more than 40 speakers on their first night from comedian sarah silver m silverman and paul simon. >> bernie, i think he was tired an

. >> joining me now, portfolio columnist bob franken.ice to see you. >> go back to our days at another network. >> forgive me. >> you were a great friend, thank you. trump, let's start with him. and he's already said he's meeting witherness. he's met with pence already. can you meet them? are we close to having his vp pick? >> well, i learned a long time ago when it comes down to this kind of thing. the tea leaves are worthless. of course much of the speculation has centered around house speaker, former house speaker newt gingrich. who has done everything but jump up and down and see me, me, me, he's not been subtle about this at all. subtlety is not his hallmark. somebody else who is not known for his nuance is chris christie whose name also comes up a lot. we all know about their relationship, christie the former presidential candidate who quickly then came out to support donald trump. i've been trumped by the meeting with joni ernst. she of course is a woman and trump has what we call a woman problem in the proplation. >> what does he
