Franken's Fight

" Comedian turned politician Al franken -- bid to represent his home state of Minnesota in the Senate is not dead yet on Tuesday. Plus plus such a small margin to Republican opponent norm Coleman. That it triggered an automatic recount as of today Coleman is still leading but don't account for Al franken have just yet. Is the former funny person just what the Senate knee -- is now host America's got talent and the Jerry Springer Show. Jerry Springer you're asking me that we went the other way you went from politics get to my birthday let me say what an honor it is. To be here. I -- both stock and no -- cones in hand and he is okay. -- apologize and I can I don't yeah. Obviously going to change everything you -- them some hardware new -- here. You want to get back into politics now I think you've taught -- getting bad as you were mayor of Cincinnati who are frankly I love having -- in our country as a video. -- today the eight the headlines like yet apparently your politician until you have you've paid a walker -- he had yet know that came before now though yeah. The right -- won't get you."

" Surprise -- what happened on on November 4. I don't know I don't think anyone really wasn't that surprised by the I'm -- to let it. I'm serious note let's get politics to focus -- right let's not talk Democrat Republican liberal conservative put that aside. It's a wonderful American moment. It is it's a manifestation that the idea America's still lives every parent control look to their kids now every parent around what the races. No matter what the religion is sure every take you know what you got a shot in this country you got a shot and that is wonderful I love -- and you've you've got Chicago Richard you know him in Chicago you know I don't know not personally known -- personal."

" Never on the show we don't really have resulted you know and common Canadian Hannity on the Jerry Springer Show than anything right in. He's been on four continents and don't recommend is wearing that dress up. I think I got -- I don't want all of our -- that's very real innocent blood between -- and Chris -- taken cheap shots too but you so what do you what do you have. Yeah I'm -- Sean -- took a cheap shot to but nobody what you're saying about the whole."

" This is a great moments I thank you -- what -- America doesn't it there's no guarantee that. Then Obama's gonna turn out to be the greatest president of or any of that we have we have real issues nor by the way should we assume. That just if we get a president and the congress to agree that that's going to solve the problems because America no longer runs the world it. With a global economy when not in charge real Jerry Springer is not the guy you see doing that talk show the crazy Jerry springer show is again cares deeply about issues there was a mayor and it's flirted with a running again what would you want to get back to the public. I always think about it but I I mean I honestly don't know I don't I don't. I was I don't need a job and a lot of other good people that can do that so it's not something I need I enjoy being able to go around the country as they do. Are giving speeches raising money for candidates -- around and I enjoy need to have. Title but people really discuss with the way things have been there's really desire and hunger to move -- direction that's what this is of every presidential election including this one. There in our lifetime every presidential election has been a referendum on the current administration. And that's primarily what this lets you -- other factors but generally that was it believe me if people were satisfied with the bush years he would have been a different result."

" Hey Jerry you look personal let me agree with him I think on the issue of race so Barack Obama predicted many times so they are they going to try to make you afraid of me as a look like that other guys on the currency. And after all quote he's black he's had a Jacksonville. Written I think this is good for those of us take care. About race relations. And overcoming past wrongs evils injustices -- is a great moment in American history it is for that reason now to me through the day I. I disagree with every policy he's proposed and everything I've but I do wish you well I really do for the sake of our country. He's gonna try sounds conservative voices and what do you think the would you support that as a liberal."

" No I wouldn't support there. No I know Fairness Doctrine if you -- you're gonna go if you don't usually you liberals on that point in time I'm on your side and that. But I will say with -- with all due respect because you guys are phenomenal not just -- on radio I get that. And clearly conservative talk radio has been much more effective and much more successful than liberal talk radio I get that but let me just did."

" You guys have three networks you have two cable channels -- hit with barely a -- our nicely without that he got three Sunday shows variations -- these trials they want but I will say this. Talk radio. No longer has an influence and what I mean by that what I mean by that is the difference in this election was the people thirty and under. That was the real difference if you look at the difference in the -- when you won't let me just demographics are wrong. Two out of every three voters under thirty voted for Obama. And that generation that is -- not that sure it will essentially what so group tours to three voting for Obama under thirty. -- who is not listening to radio. They're not listening to radio -- they are -- they are using the Internet they are texting each other they are using the technology that has bypassed I don't think Obama could've been elected without the new technology just like Kennedy wouldn't have been elected without the impact of television in 1960. Obama is the new technology. That's part of how they rate I -- an -- figure -- I think you raise a good point I thought well -- whereas disagreeing isn't the number of young voters are the same but you're right in I think you're right. I think there's a generation of people that are using much different technology but. -- the united LeRoy Jeremy wants I would never do good good good guys are gonna say about coming out."
