Senator Kennedy is amazing!
I'm always up for a Sen Kennedy clip!
He is just the best at sizing up situations! He keeps people on their toes with his humor!
Me too.. I'm a recent convert :)
Me too! And I'm not even American 😂 he's probably the only politician in your country who has some good sense, and I love it when he calls people out for their BS.
ME TOO!
to laugh at
I love Senator Kennedy. Nobody can ask a question like him. He's great.
Thank GOD that we have people like Senator Kennedy trying to straighten this country out . He is truly a patriot and a God loving honest Senator that loves his country and the American people. Thank you Senator God bless you.
THE DAY biden took office my insulin went from 35 $ to 600.
All those cute words mean nothing. Tell me all the smoke he is spreading how how is that helping you?? So don’t thank God and educate yourself!
YES, and WE THE PEOPLE need at least 300 more people like him IN CONGRESS. THEN THIS BU!!&#!T IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY WOULD BE FIXED.
@ericculver115 From my point of view, the day Bidum took office-All Hell Broke Loose. Since that horrible day Our Great Country has been degraded within, and We are not respected around the world as before. We are loosing Our Greatness and not respected around the world as before Bidum and his Administration took over. We are looked at as WEAK, and THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
Gotta love this man. No BS. to the point, and on point, yet in a polite and engaging manner. And with the correct motives.
He plays an old country lawyer. Big on cute quips and meaningless one liners. he works for trump, not America, like all of you do.
@@robyoung-pl1gq Trump is all around you. Do you sleep with a night light on because of Trump?
Actually all BS. I heard he has a gay lover.
@@scottambrose2885 And I heard there are aliens walking amongst us....
They see, "A special kind of stupid", and come to prove it ...
Senator Kennedy really is a hero and is a gentleman , he loves America.
Never sponsored a bill
@@janiegonzalez5494damn you dumb.. how many bills has AOC or any other member of the squad proposed😂
He has enabled all of the corruption.
@@janiegonzalez5494 So what? But, you're very, very wrong: www.congress.gov/member/john-kennedy/K000393?q=%7B%22type%22%3A%22bills%22%7D
Cornpone, knucklehead. That's Kennedy.😂
I love mr. Kennedy he's a fireball. I hope he never stops❤
Senator Kennedy is a genius.
I love Senator Kennedy. Breath of fresh air and common sense.
Ditto! He is a special kind of smart man!!!!
I love him and cruz
yes He's a good person ❤
HHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!! HHAAA!!! FOGHORN LEGHORN!!! MMMMAAAAAAGHHAAAAAA!!!!!
Russia supporting Kennedy ignores that trump caused inflation over spending 7 trillion in just 4 years.
One of the VERY FEW, I have respect for.
Government workers should have the same insurance they force us to use, guaranteed it would get better if they had to join the rest of us.
Actually, it should be the opposite: everyone should have access to what Government workers have.
@@WBensburg well if that the case we should all have everything so we would all be happy always. They need to see what we deal wit to address the issue properly. If the insurance is different than that can’t happen. Man….
@@DrewD76 Not really. The reason Federal employees insurance is so desirable (I have it), is it's not restricted by state, i.e. you can get any policy offered anywhere in the country. This way everyone can tailor their coverage to their needs; pay for what they want, not pay for what they don't want, etc. The big problem with insurance coverage is the lack of options, leading toward lack of competition.
Didn’t know anyone was forced into an insurance plan.
@@leestebbins5051For a while under the Obama administration it was required to have health insurance. I know because I had to pay an extra 600 dollars back in taxes for 2 years because I didn't have insurance.
Love 💕 His Straight Talk ..no bs..Thank You Sen Kennedy ❤️ much Respect
I love the person you are. I am a diabetic Type 1. I am insulin dependent. I am so fortunate that I have health insurance now but I realize that can always change. Thank you, for fighting for people with diabetes.
Love Sen Kennedy … nailed it ….no holes barred …tells it as it is !!! ..
“Special kind of stupid “😂 ❤❤❤❤
Quite the comedian 😅
No “holds” barred 😊
@@rickjoiner9446 lol 😂 yep that’s it 👍 🤣🤣
I remember now !! Ooh you know what I mean 😂🤣🙌
Government officials need to pay for their own health insurance.
Amen
What A MAN!! Real As Real Gets!! Thank You Senator Kennedy.God Bless You Good Sir.
How can one not appreciate Sen. Kennedy's passion and wit? A chamber full of others like him and some problems might really be solved, and quickly.
Easy. He plays the fool
@@paul2280 What are you talking about?
It's called theater.
We’re all so tired of rehearsed politicians that sound like they’re reading from a script; Senator John Kennedy is a breath of fresh air.
@@paul2280 No, that would be you.
One Of My Favorites FOR SURE!!!! You Go Mr Kennedy
I love this man. Thank you Mr.Kennedy.
Good for you Sen. Kennedy, I am so glad that at least one person in that American Government has Brains, I love listening to you. God bless you.
Hi, and thankfully a few more just as passionate.
John Kennedy is a smart down to earth man
God Bless John Kennedy ❤🇺🇸
Sen. Kennedy is so brilliant in his line of questioning. I love the way he gets his point across. He also knows of which he speaks. He does his homework. Very smart man!
Love this guy.. I’m from Shiity democrat Pennsylvania.. go Louisiana
I love the way Mr Kennedy is a tell it like it is person!👏👏👏
What a superstar!
God bless you John Kennedy
✝️🐴🌿❣️🇺🇸
We're so proud of Sen Kennedy
Sometimes things need to be broken down in simple terms for others to get it.
Exactly 💯
You generally have to talk to the lowest IQ level in the room so everyone will get the message.
tq80764 YA! republicans need things spelled out for them - ALL LIES!! They believe all the Lies republicans tell them!! 🤣 Good little Dummies👾👾👾(robots) They don't think for themselves! 🤣😂😅
The Cultists are Brainwashed!! Say it Real Slow for them!😅😂🤣
The clap was so deserved. What a truly amazing man
He's a great motivator.
The government should have to have the insurance that the poorest have instead of giving themselves the best and letting us fight over the scraps. I don't think most people realize that 1 Billion is 1000 million.
Senator Kennedy is a true American hero. He speaks the truth & asks the right questions.
I wish Michigan had a couple of Senators like Mr. Kennedy.
I wish my state and others had a senator like John Kennedy
I wish NY did too!
He is a gem.❤
I always enjoy listening to Senator Kennedy speak. He makes me feel better knowing we have a true statesman looking out for everyone.
He plays an old country lawyer. Big on cute quips and meaningless one liners. he works for trump, not America, like all of you do.

,if I understand correctly, you are the troll.
@@merrittascott4408 my opinion, you get yours, I get mine. End of story.
@@jaydragon962
Hi Jay, what is neat about the comment section is having a dialog.
Literally just have to increase production and the price goes down...
Love you, John Kennedy ❤️
Kennedy for president ❤
any moment Sen. Kennedy makes a special appearance.. his every word makes every bit of sense.
( he just does )
HES ALL TALK NO ACTION, BY THE WAY WHERE IS BIG MITCH MAC ?😅
@@ivangarciasr6297so you don't agree with what he said ? Or are you just flapping your lips
@@ivangarciasr6297 All he can do is expose it. It is up to you to get the law to fix the problem.
@@cat793cdumpyActually no. He not only needs to expose it, but he has to create a bill and get his fellow senators to pass it. He then needs to convince the house to pass it and the President to sign it. That’s his job.
@@MickeyTheMouth I agree but when half the chamber is corrupt the laws never get passed. I have always said that when those who make the laws break the laws there is no law.
I Love this guy!!
Bravo Sen. Kennedy!!
I've been there without insurance. One of my prescriptions used to cost me $300.00
per month cash, and it's not even a medication I depend upon to stay alive!
Thankfully I had the money to pay.
I whole heartedly agree with you! We waste an awful lot of money, and we should be able
to help diabetics stay alive!
You've definitely earned your "atta boy" for your work on this bill!
Everyday the first thing I watch on CZcams is all the recordings of your work for that
day. I'm never disappointed, 'cause you're my hero!!😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love Senator Kennedy. I am a type one diabetic and I appreciate this man!
THEN you know insulin went to 35 dollars from 600 a week after Trump was in office and back to 600 3 days after biden got into office.
Do tell girl. What does a diabetic have to do with his nonsense
@scottambrose2885 ahhh you do know what insulin is used for right?
GOTTA LOVE SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY BECAUSE HE HAS A HEART OF G💛LD
He did absolutely nothing for Southwest Louisiana in the aftermath of historical Hurricanes Laura followed 6 weeks later by Hurricane Delta. NOTHING. The only thing he has heart for is the petrochemical industries, particularly Big Oil (who stuff his campaign coffer) and in fact advocates for resumption and expanding drilling in the Gulf of Mexico which has caused numerous disasters including historically the severe hurricanes, floods, extreme temperatures, wildfires in the marshlands and forests. He is a disgrace, and don’t fall for his down home cornpone act, he has a Harvard Law Degree and can be quite eloquent depending on which audience he is talking to, with much more sophisticated speech. He’s not on your side.
I thought the *Affordable Care Act* aka Obamacare was supposed to eliminate the uninsured problem. Seems like we have the same amount of uninsured as before Obamacare.
Is it just me, or did he actually get younger by the end of this? This guy is such a boss that he is draining the life out of his opponents.
He'd be 55. 😁
John breaks things down into simplicity with his brain that is very complex. John Kennedy is one of those people who both sides need to listen to. He is a true fighter for Americans.
We need more brilliant minds in Washington D.C. Just like or similar to Senator Kennedys.
He plays an old country lawyer. Big on cute quips and meaningless one liners. he works for trump, not America, like all of you do.
@@robyoung-pl1gq
Hi Rob, or should I say troll? You keep repeating the same nonsense.
@@merrittascott4408 I think we found the robot.
@@realironballs
Hi, I don't get your meaning. Pl get back to me, ok?
We need. Lot more Senators like Kennedy. What a great breath of fresh air.
Sen. Kennedy for President!
There is a special place in Heaven for Senator Kennedy because he speaks God's truth about the need to care for our brothers and sisters before it's too late to do anything for them! LOVE this man!!!
Amen!!!
He plays an old country lawyer. Big on cute quips and meaningless one liners. he works for trump, not America, like all of you do.
@@robyoung-pl1gqRead up on his background on WIKI. It will take some time so get comfy. Getting educated about someone you dislike is a beautiful thing. 👍🇺🇸🥊🗳🥊🇺🇸👍
Love him
I Love this man! Any politician who just mentions in passing (With NO fake intention or thought) that he eats Pop Tarts for breakfast proves he's just one of us. I bet You'll never catch him showing off a freezer of fancy, expensive ice cream!
Thank you Senator Kennedy. Brilliant! We love you!
This guy is the best.
Wish we had him this side of the pond. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
I’m from Australia and I think the Americans have a gem in this man, I just love him.
'There's so much fine print you could hide a dead body in there and nobody'd find it'
Legend..😂
Yada,yada, yada! Senator Kennedy you are an amazing human being! God bless you & Im sure the great state of Louisiana is very proud to have you as their Senator!!
Im not a big fan of watching politicians but I really enjoy watching anything Sen. Kennedy is on . I truly wish we had more like him.
Johns on point. Common. Sense
Not even American, but I appreciate a good no BS person.
Great Job Done Senator Mr. John Kennedy. "Sincerely RZ
I love this man. Honest. Cuts to the chase. No nonsense.
I love his down to earth common sense 💯
His cornpone down to earth is an act, he only speaks that way to engage a certain population and he is actually talking down to that population. Good old cornpone is much more eloquent when he talking to a different population and is a Harvard educated attorney.
I so I so love listening to Senator Kennedy talk in these meetings , It reminds me of my father and my grandfather he’s down home not worried about hurting your feelings. He just says it like it is and he asked questions and expects us questions answered for the American people. Thank you very much Senator Kennedy how your care that you have shown as the American people ‼️Blessings 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Aw-shucks" The dumbing down of the Senate
Amen 🙏
He speaks that truth!!
You are awesome, Mr. Kennedy
SEN. KENNEDY, YOU ARE SO WISE AND COMICAL, YOU ARE SUCH A JOY TO WATCH, 😂 LOL, AND WE PATRIOTS LOVE YOU!!!
This man should be in the White house for the next 20 years!
What is always ignored is the fundamental conflict of interest in the health care industry between corporations,(whether insurance companies or hospitals or pharmaceutical companies and even doctors) and patients.
I have a lot of respect for Senator Kennedy. I'd have even more respect if he wouldn't make a point of saying how nice a guy biden is every chance he gets, because we all know different.
He wants his family to be safe
Hi ,probably just his sense of humor.
A very truthful Senator just love listening to me the guy doesn't miss a true fact Yeah for him
Love this man.
Good old fashioned horses sence.
Could Listen to Senator Kennedy all day.
Good. That's all he does is talk... As do the rest of them.
I can barely tolerate listening to his cornpone act, this man is a Harvard educated and is quite capable of eloquence.
I wish Senator Kennedy would come to the Country of his Ancestors and get into the Irish Government and Kick some Ass , he is just Brilliant.
Senator Kennedy should be made an official national treasure! Nobody speaks like he does in government and I wish there were 1000's of him!!
Love this guy!
Senator John Kennedy is a special " unique " kind of guy [ his method of talking gets the message and point across] good job senator
bravo senator Kennedy...my son lost his job lost his medical insurance..so I'm paying for everything as a father and grandfather....it's truly heart breaking...
Thank you John. It has helped me a lot!!
I had a friend who applied at area 5 for help cause she couldn't afford to pay Obama care and pay for her medication she was so aggravated she missed the help by 5 hundred dollars the thing was when her doctor said she needed new hearing aides vocation rehabilitation did help her but it took almost a year of paperwork to get them it is hard to survive
This man is presidential, but his passion is doing things that help those less fortunate. I think he prefers it that way as there is too much BS in the white house to do what he does best. If we had enough others like him to fill that need, he world be great on the world stage!
I LOVE KENNEDY!!! HES ALWAYS DEAD ON POINT!!!! AND ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!!
Sen. Kennedy is like the wise, erudite political characters you can see in the old Hollywood films. Principled, passionate and fair. You need more like him in all walks of government.
I love this man!
Now you realize why men with this name get shot. They have the balls to tell it as it is.
He’s so great!
They aren’t worried about anyone but themselves but can send billions to a country that could not even help us if God forbid we needed it!!! I love this man
First I have seen of this man and I love him! He is very successful with his questions! He is no dummy!. Digs deep to get the answers he wants.Brilliant!
Lionel ~ Please will you do your accents more often?
I could be in the worst mood, but those are so damn funny!!!
Southern Guy
Irish Guy and
John, John Kennedy.
They’re the Best 😂
When John Kennedy is talking about 'special kinds of stupid', he's speaking from a place of deep experience.
When I think about "special kind of stupid", I think of Biden.
@@stevetamacc How so?
Senator John Kennedy is an Absolute Legend.
That would give up too much power to us "fly-over" people.
Love that Sen. Kennedy,
BLAH BLAH BLAH is more appropriate
Vetting,You MR.KENNEDY ,WE NEED MORE OF...OUR FUTURE!!!
We need to clone this bright, courageous, man. The good people of Louisiana are blessed to have a wonderful representative in you. If you were in MI I'd be the first to vote for you. You'd probably never run for president because you have a more powerful voice where you are. Keep up the wonderful work you've been doing.
No we are not, he does very little for our state, he did nothing when our communities in Southwest Louisiana in the aftermath of category 4 Hurricane Laura, the historically worst hurricane in 100+ plus years followed by Hurricane Delta, another category 3 severe storm a mere 6 weeks after Laura. He did NOTHING. Coming home after evacuation our city it looked like the whole city had been bombed. FEMA provided very little support to a very limited number of residents as their funding had been reallocated by Trump to Homeland Security, for some they referred us to the SBA for a disaster loan to cover costs insurance would not cover. John Kennedy did nothing to advocate for us, he didn’t even bother to tour our city. As far as I’m concerned he is worthless.
I know it´s been said so many times before but this Guy is an awsome politician, I can see why he´s a senator and I hope he makes it for President. I think this Country needs Senator Kennedy at the helm. Then there might be hope.
Legendary, Senator Kennedy Sir. Some American backbone. Your a Genius
At least 4 maybe 5 of Kennedy's legendary one-liners in a 5 minute clip. 🤣
Bless you sir!
