Hey guys, this is Zach Stanton. I'm the producer of Off Message. We have a really great show coming up for you this week. Our host, Isaac Dauver, sat down with West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. That episode will be coming up to you tomorrow morning. But first, we wanted to share a preview of that interview. It's a fascinating clip where Isaac talks with the senator about the sexual

misconduct allegations against Al Franken and Franken's impending resignation from the U.S. Senate.

Be sure to download the full episode Tuesday morning, but first, here's a preview.

What do you make of your Democratic colleagues who've been calling on the president to resign?

Foolish.

When I say foolish, politically foolish, okay, because everyone sees Stoids as being politics.

Now, with that being said, I think the Roy Moore thing sends a loud, clear message.

What they did to Al Franklin, I'm sorry,

Al Franken, what they did to Al was atrocious, the Democrats, the most hypocritical thing

I've ever seen done to a human being, and then have enough guts to sit on the floor and watch

him give me speech and go over and hug him. That's hypocrisy at the highest level I've ever seen

in my life.

Made me sick.

And here's a man that all he said, take me through the Ethics Committee.

I will live by whatever decision and I'll walk away thinking this opportunity I've had while I was here.

But you find out, if you think I'm a predator, you find out of my actions,

you find out the people I've worked with all my life. I was in that type of an arena.

Al says, listen, I've got a lot of flaws. This is not one of them. Give Al a chance to prove it.

And I think it's atrocious. We ran a good person off. Al and I didn't vote a lot of-

Yeah, you guys did not get along on a lot of things politically or policy.

We are separate, okay? But you need people from, you need to have all spectrums of this. He hasn't resigned yet. He said he was going to resign. I hope they have enough guts. If they had enough guts, enough conscience and enough heart to say, Al, we made a mistake asking prematurely for you to leave.

Least go through now, Al, would you subject yourself to a rigorous ethics and examination, an ethics investigation, and live by whatever comes out, and then we'll put the vote on you, Al.
