still with us al franken and bill kristol. bill, you heard what jamie harrison had to say about this. earlier this week you tweeted the six main strands of the trump coup attempt in which you said the conspiracy theories, the lawsuits, the fake federal investigations, stop the steal whips up the base, fake electors and objectors, and pressure on state and local officials. in fairness you write this as the main strands of the trump coup attempt which would be very simple for republicans to say, that's not us. we don't stand for that stuff. that's garbage. we have something else. joe biden did make the point today, we don't have a real republican platform that they have presented. >> excellent piece. summarizing just to give credit where credit is due. look, if they say we did a good job, people don't quite see how good a job we did and those republicans don't stand for anything, they will not do well. the normal thing that happens in an off year election, grievances of some sort, not as great as they thought it would be novembe

talking to former senator al franken the other day. he made an interesting point. a lot of people subpoenaed or asked to give testimony or talk to them, we didn't even know their names. the average people did not know the name of some of these department of justice people. scott perry from pennsylvania, nobody knew his name. in the case of sidney powell and rudy giuliani out there day in day out giving press conferenceance and phone calls. on what basis would they refuse the january 6th committee? seems like the opportunity of a life time to them to sit there in front of congress and explain in detail how the 2020 election was stolen. >> sure. in some ways you might see that. sidney powell said i'm ready to come in, give you a detailed presentation and tell you my -- i think bernie similarly, former new york police commission around rudy ally said similarly he wanted to do that to try to justify what they were saying, these fraud claims. the committee's not giving them a public stage to do that because they think most debunk and they want the actual information peo

. >> hannity: it sounds like al franken on "saturday night live." tonight, it's clear that we have a president and vice president, they are not up to this job here and i know this and you know this: america's enemies, they are seeing everything we are -- as a result, our country is less secure -- a lot to say about it in a few moments, but first, joining us now with reaction, former white house chief of staff weights previous command former massachusetts senator with a brand-new knee and everything, we call him the bionic senator scott brown.

al franken, friend of "the reidout" and norm have put forward one idea to reform the filibuster, meaning you'd flip the numbers from 60 votes required to 41 required to continue it moving the burden from the majority to the minority. the minority could prevail but require a major effort by the minority to accomplish the ends. bipartisan compromise might be the best way to do that. there is another option who is the former chief counsel to senator ted kennedy and could change without changing the filibuster at all. when it comes to major legislation, it would assure that the minority gets a full debate and the right to offer relevant amendments after an extended period of an amendment gaining bipartisan support, they could move on, invoke closure, cut off debate by a simple majority vote. the minor would have say boom, and we could move on. have the two conservative democrats who have been standing in the way of the changing the filibuster sign on to anything that looks like either of the two options? >> we're having active discussions with them, several a day i just spoke to senator manc

people on the sphraj al franken on down. a lot of people you thought would be impervious to it comedian most, mr. everything steve harvey. he said something pretty substantial to variety. essentially saying as long as i have to worry about corporate america, i have to worry. he says, quote: the only way i can do one more special is if it is at the end of my television career because it will end my television career. we are in the cancel culture now. no stand-up that is sponsor driven can say anything he wants to. chris rock cannot. kevin hart can't. cedric entertainer can't. i can go down the list. the only person that can say what he hospital to say on stage is it dave chapelle he is note sponsor driven is he description driven. guy like seinfeld is not going to russell any figures. it's the guys provocative, richard pryors, eddie murphy get on stage and talk about race and things to that nature. >> steve: well, and steve harvey says, you know, you got to tell jokes about something. it's got to be about somebody. you can't
