SUMMARY:  Political satire demands a different set of skills from actually practicing politics.  Minnesota Sen. Al Franken explains what it's really like to transition from entertainment to government in his new book, “Al Franken: Giant of the Senate.”  Hari Sreenivasan sits down with Franken to discuss reports about Jared Kushner, Republican efforts to replace Obamacare, who's funny in the Senate, and more.
