Are there ever any consequences when these people show how unqualified they are?
Apparently not.
I've learned, to my disgust, one can fail upwards in many jobs. In the jobs I've worked, you fail downwards and out the gate!
YES, THEY GET HIRED..
no, without term limits they just get re-elected.
All you need to do is win an election. And the stupid ones get voters to the polls.
She shut down Kennedy's bullshit questions and refused to play his gotcha game
They should not stand as a witness if they're not willing to answer
Crime is down in the USA. Kennedy is a liar. Cornyn is a liar. Cruz is a liar.
She isn't all that bright in the first place but she is smart enough to know when to shut up.
A SME witness answering questions where they aren't an expert witness is a sure-fire way to legal trouble. Stick with facts you can speak on with evidenced-based results and there isn't a risk of perjury.
He's asking a MEDICAL doctor legal questions she knows nothing about. What's next, Kennedy going to ask lawyers about medical issues?
@@Rationalityislost101 You cannot get into legal trouble testifying before congress, unless you knowingly lie.

She keeps saying “I’m not a lawyer or a prosecutor” but she sure has no problems inserting herself into the gun debate despite not being a firearm or criminal expert.
She has "good intentions" and that is all that counts for them.
She is literally a gun violence and public health expert
This is what liberal progressivism is all about. It's all about putting the power into the minds of the people who haven't been elected. But appointed. And they set up different groupings of things that are bureaucracies that are set up in order to bug people down to such an extent where they give up. Many people have already done this many people that's why they're such a huge amount of people who refuse to go and vote. Especially after 2020 election. I was shocked at how many Christians there were that I knew of who told me they had no interest in voting they didn't want to hear anybody talking about regarding anything to do with who was really the president who wasn't the president or to even discuss anything even in a minutiae form. Unfortunately I remember as a young kid hearing people saying things like never discuss religion or politics. The problem is that when that has gone on for too long that what that means is that you've created a grouping of people who are like these people who sit there they know that they don't have to answer these questions they know that they don't have to talk about things but they can either just have a pre-recorded thing of them saying something that is a statement and not answering the question because the yes no questions they know trap them. So the person saying that she's not a lawyer in other words what she's saying is actually no she is a lawyer. Because she understands a yes or no answer will pigeon hold them. I have yet to see anybody talking to John Kennedy who is anywhere near his tenacity or his intelligence levels. This is why they don't like answering his questions cuz they know that whether they say yes or no either answers going to take them down. And obviously especially when there are people who are on the blue side who are constantly stopping the grilling when the person asking the question is not getting an answer. This needs to stop people need to turn around and they need to if they need to do so if they if I perceive in a very near future that we're going to become like Taiwan. Or Singapore when somebody gets offended it with someone says they're not going to interrupt them they're going to jump out of where they're at to go over to where that person is and they're going to start slugging each other out. I welcome this. I'd like to see this. Because it's obvious that these people especially these Democrats they can't do anything fairly they have to push something through they have to have all these things going on behind the curtains like I say I don't believe right now with the way that I've seen these different town councils where somebody dares to say something like why isn't there an American flag here or something and they start getting yelled at or somebody brings in their own small flag to try to do the Pledge of Allegiance for it and people start screaming and hollering and making noise while the person's trying to say that stuff and these are people who are involved in government. This is insanity. Everyone I'm talking about there they're all Democrats why the f*** are they in office. I'll tell you whether in office. Because you see back in the 60s in the 50s the Soviet Union was not involved in the government trying to get people to become spies for them. The silver Union was involved with taking over the education system. After the house in an American activities came about it put them into a position where they knew they had the American people. Because after that there was this new inseptid thing going on where it was like how dare you even assume that just because someone hates America that they're anti-American or that they're evil. Now we have people in the government who are drooling at the idea of being able to make an extra $100 million dollars by selling us out. There's probably some who do that for less than a quarter of that percentage. And that's not just the Democrats doing that that's Republicans as well and Independence or Libertarians whoever it is. Anybody who thinks they're going to become wealthy when they are in politics they need to quit they need to cut out and do exactly what Thomas Jefferson said saying if you were involved in government you should not be making money and you sure sure as hell should not be becoming rich while serving as as being a politician. That needs to end completely end and everybody in politics they need to quit with the need to quit with the money coming in they got to quit with with the way that they're spending money regarding such things as them doing insider trading because they know which businesses are going together and if anybody else did exactly what they did anybody else in the in the real world would be in prison for what they're getting away with. All of those people every single one of those both Republicans and Democrats anyone who's been in office more than 10 years that they're all criminals all of them. That includes policeman that includes everybody it's very rare to find somebody who isn't you go watch go watch all those videos on CZcams showing the different policemen who are arresting people who have done nothing wrong and even killing some of them and they get nothing as far as them getting actually having to pay for killing an innocent person. And I'm not just talking about George Floyd I'm talking about the many other people who aren't black who that's happened with who are white actually there's thousands of them. I know of at least 10 in my city alone who were innocent people who were killed by policemen and those policemen are still on the job. That's insanity. Killing innocent people
It’s a reasonable answer. He’s asking about case law and such. Anyone can have an opinion on that which affects our civil liberties and to be quite honest we ought have many opinions from experts on both sides of the argument.
Or one could make the same argument about your choice to comment deapite not having an expertise from which to draw your opinion. It’s valid because you are involved by proxy.
Attack her position, not how she presents it. It’s very feminine of you to argue that way.
This is Lysenkoism at its finest. When you abdicate all of your moral agencies to "experts" and are unwilling to actually state an obvious position, it is evil.
the absolute waste of time and tax dollars by these insane control freaks is sickening.
It's the liberal way.

Nazi Germany used the "health crisis" tactic to grab guns.
90% less government is the solution
Poor triggered Republicans. Answer these simple questions for us all in the comments section. Since Reps claim more guns are the solution to gun violence. Then why do we continue to have more school shootings and mass shootings every year?
If making it easier to have a gun makes us safer why do the deaths and gun related crimes go up every year. The US is the ONLY first world country that refuses to crack down on guns. Multiple countries like NZ, and Australia have banned assault weapons after mass shootings and miraculously....No more mass shootings. Weird how that happens. Guess Reps really really just hate innocent school children.
Their refusal to acknowledge basic right and wrong is terrifying.

Step four: use the "I know you are but what am I" argument popular with 5 year olds. Step five: Talk in all caps with exaggerated punctuation. Thanks for not deviating one bit.
I think she did reply to the questions. She was asked to comment on things outside of her area of professionalism. I think he he is badgering her.

Kennedy comes up with some excellent points.
Great analogy.
That man at the end is evil.
What you could say is she's dodging the question of whether to prosecute actual crimes with guns, but wants to restrict the rights of people who don't commit crimes. Kennedy asked those questions for a reason.
Crime is down in the USA. Kennedy is a liar. Cornyn is a liar. Cruz is a liar.
We know that the Constitution of the United States doesn't give government(s) the right to control arms because the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights says, "The Right Of The People To Keep And Bear Arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

So this woman wont answer a question because it is not her area of expertise yet the fact that she is called to testify would mean she is inserting herself into the whole gun control debate.

So what the hell is she doing having an opinion on gun control when she's not a gun expert???
"I can't answer your question but I'll inject my BS word salad."
That usual .... make an assessment without any knowledge of the subject . Take in consideration than drug are totally prohibited so there is any problems with drugs / drugs dealers in the USA .
Public health professional, statistician or epidemiologist are the best to ask about gun control. Just as you wouldn’t ask a car mechanic or assembly line worker about requiring side airbags, gun expertise is only tangentially related to gun control.
Woman moment
@@stevekru6518no they’re not wth🤣 why would i consult a statistician or public health professional about firearm regulation when it makes no sense that they have no knowledge on the subject. Nobody has more knowledge on firearms and firearm regulation than gun experts.

Not true at all. Lol
She did a great job of not answering any questions including opinion questions.
Watching women like her testify is infuriating. Refuses to answer questions, dances around words and shows how disqualified they are constantly yet face no judgement.

Interesting. When asked specifically about Chicago's gun issue, she avoided the question by quickly named three states (that she doesn't live in), but rolled off a major statistic associated with them. However, when asked again about Chicago, she responded that she doesn't live in Chicago and doesn't know the gun statistics. Does she really think we are that dumb?

Literally laughed out loud with the fried foods bit, Senator Kennedy is a savage.
I laughed for another reason - mostly because he seems like kind of a nut.🥜
@@Rick62153 He is far from a nut, but his line of questioning seemed a little unnecessarily accusatorial in this instance. His fried food question was also an extreme false equivalency. I can't use fried foods to harm other people against their will.
@@MrSneakyPantsbut when the "expert witness" (who refuses to answer anything) starts her diatribe equating gun deaths to heart disease it's ok?
@@Corywinget81 There's a difference between equating the death toll between the two for purposes of emphasis, and creating an entire strawman in an attempt at making someone sound stupid. I don't agree with her stance, but his use of simile was poor in this case. I like him a lot, though. This was a rare situation for me. And she did answer some of his questions. This isn't to say that she wasn't driven by politics.
I laughed out loud because it's just a bullshit question.
Eating fried food is the free decision of every person.
Getting shot isn't.
You can't compare something done by a person at free will to a crime done to someone else.
And you guys fall for this bullshit.
I love this man
Because you won’t arrest the criminals. In any city.
Who knew Howard Stern moonlights as an ER Doctor...
She had to mention 2 entire STATES
To be able to downplay gun violence in the CITY of Chicago 😮
She says she doesn’t know about Chicago and it doesn’t pertain to her because she doesn’t live there but then she quotes three states data. Does she live in three states? I agree with you. Picking and choosing the data to fit your narrative.
@@Muskiehunter4841
" Exactly "
Not only that, but she was perfectly willing to discuss Chicago in her written testimony to the committee, but she suddenly clammed up about Chicago when asked directly about it in the hearing.
Red states that the majority of gun crime takes place in blue cities!
GOOD catch, this is what they do statistical gymnastics, if they even acknowledge any statistics.
Leave Mississippi, and Louisiana out of it… clean around your own front door… Yes we have problems. She is dodging his words… She doesn’t live in these states either, but chose to bring his home state up…‼️😡Thank you Senator Kennedy 👍👍
There's a reason she said states to his City question. If she had named the cities in those states.... theyd all are being ran by Democrats for the last 50+ years
Crime is down in the USA. Kennedy is a liar. Cornyn is a liar. Cruz is a liar.
"No disrespect doc that sounds like word salad to me" -- A senator who can't or refuses to acknowledge a thoughtful response about a correlation of what essentially surmounts to gang violence and preventative measures a community can take to prevent low-socioeconomic youth from getting involved in such a mess.
So, who is dodging whose words? He started out of the gate as a bad faith actor who refuses to actually have an earnest discussion with the witness and is only pursuing a political agenda.
Agreed, she had no opinion on Chicago, Los Angeles or Philadelphia, but certainly had an opinion on those states and New Mexico.
if you lived in Louisiana, you'd see Kennedy does NOTHING for the state. NADA. There's a brain drain, rampant poverty, high crime, and poor education.
WOW is right! Where do these people come from?
Forgive is the word for today, unless it affects their family..It blows my mind how people can walk around and think they will never be affected.
To the last witness: Forgiveness does not mean the punishment is removed.
He forgives the unforgivable. That's insane.
I wan to see how forgiving he is when its his wife or daughter!
According to Christianity and the Bible, it is.
@@casual35 Nope.

This last guy at the end sounded like a real piece of work, not judging someone or finding that person not responsible for the worst thing they ever did. I wish Senator Kennedy could have given him some more attention.
not worth it
It's contextual. We all have stolen a pencil from school. That says zero about who we are. When it comes to heinous crimes that harm others or cause death, that's a whole other level.
@@casual35 Kennedy absolutely put it in context, he straight up asked about a rapist and the F'n guy says he believes in forgiveness. That's some F'd up S right there.

You can guess someone has done some heinous things when they advocate for people who have done heinous things to not be judged for the heinous things they've done. They should investigate that man.
He should be "investigated" for having a bad opinion, or is your directive based on something more substantive?
@@MrSneakyPants Perhaps promote illegal acts can be illegal ? because considering illegals acts up to crime as a simple detail is not legal ?
@@ced3098 Promoting illegal acts (which is a very subjective phrase) is not illegal. Movies promote acts of violence but that isn't illegal. Advocates for marijuana promote smoking it, which is against federal law, but that isn't illegal either. He just has opinions that you don't like, and that's ok--I don't like his opinions either, but that doesn't constitute a need/warrant for a criminal investigation. Now, inciting a crime with language can be illegal, but he didn't do that.
It is the Christian way to forgive people. Are you really advocating an investigation based on something so innocuous? It is tyrants like you that are the problem.
@@MrSneakyPants
No. An investigation based on his suspicious statements and demeanor.
Democrats have raised the ability to dodge a question to a fine art.
Republicans just don't appear when called.
Republicans have excelled at criminal indictments over the past 50 years. Look it up! It isn't even close!
You put the Duh, in Duhmocrats.
On the flip side, Republicans have found the ability to not have an answer for it.
Ummm...Democrats put the Republicans in their place, every single time, with the facts and evidence. You must be in an alternate reality.

That is scary. Thanks to this Senator for exposing them.

It would be much more effective and better for the USA to outlaw democrats as they are the ones constantly trying to violate our Inalienable Rights and trying to censor Free Speech. We MUST not allow such people to exist.
48,117 people killed by a firearm in 2022 (CDC)
250,000 killed by medical errors every year (Johns Hopkins University, UCSF)
But gun violence is the epidemic??
Why wouldn't you try and address both? Or can't you walk and chew gum?
The EU for example, with a population considerably larger than the US, has less than 7,000 gun deaths a year (all in, suicides, homicides and accidents) and decreasing. So the US ought to be able to do better than it does.
@@jameshenderson4876 maybe missing the point? And here is the point. Compare and contrast the media coverage for one vs the other. Because it is not myself that cannot walk and chew at the same time. It’s the general public/legacy media that spends an inordinate amount of time focusing on something that causes 1/5th the death rate in the US compared to the other. When i start seeing 5 times the stories, video, commentary, interviews and empaneled smart people addressing the true killer which is medical error will I believe that people actually care about human life and not control. An “error” by its very definition is 100% preventable.
Medicine kills a fully loaded Boeing 777 every week. But the media focuses on the firearm. That is the issue. The thing that truly kills you that is NOT being addressed unless it’s a celebrity or politician.
No need to try and signal an insult. Of course we can do better. And the solutions are there, but not being put in place or enforced.
@@jameshenderson4876 We don't have to address both as any HONEST person, excludes all democrats and leftists, knows the founders feared an out of control GOVERNMENT and did their best to prevent an out of control GOVERNMENT and if their best efforts failed, the 2nd Amendment is OUR tool to get an out of control GOVERNMENT back under our CONTROL. It was actually used for this exact purpose in the Battle of Athens, TN in 1946, when brave REAL American patriots were forced into a shooting battle with a corrupt government attempting to steal an election [sound familiar?].

What actually comes from these committee hearings? No one is ever accountable for their actions.
Mildly amusing CZcams content. Other than that, likely 99% of Americans remain oblivious that such things ever occur or are ever said. In a way, I suppose it's better than nothing, though. Think about our early Republic. There were Congressional hearings then too, but no one outside Congress ever heard of them. In 1840s, it could take news months to get from Washington DC to California.

Yes it's frustrating that no immediate action ever results but at least there is official record being done to hold people to their words and hopefully someday when we have an unbiased president not a political one we will see these hearings recalled and people are dealt with hopefully people are the

@@nomoreprospecting My guess is that she does, but that her Leftist agenda overrules her common sense. It's all rooted in the selfish desire to be better than everyone else and to control them. Classic narcissist.
I absolutely agree! I dropped out of college once and was kicked out of another college, but I am smart and honest, but I let my actions speak for me as actions speak louder than words!
I don't think you are commenting on the same CZcams video that everyone else watched if you did not see Kennedy flubbing his lines when he put on a show of pretending to listen to an expert witness. He was confused as to whether she was there to provide input on what she sees in her ER and public health capacity, with her personal opinion. Anyone can have a personal opinion. Everyone does, and they don't even have to back their opinion up with facts. But, a personal opinion is personal. So, why should she be asked to answer in her personal opinion?
@@engletinaknickerbocker5380 In the same vein I don't think you are commenting on my comment. I simply stated that being educated does not mean smart nor honest. She clearly fell short of both in all of her answers, and then again in her evasions. Why she was there or what Kennedy's reasons were for his questions are immaterial. She's an agenda driven Leftist. End of story.
Wow! That forgiving guy at the end should never be in any position of authority. He says no punishment for rape and sodomy, just forgiveness. Never put him in charge of anything please.
Wow at the end, just wow. You can have forgiveness, but that doesn't mean you're free from consequences.
Makes you wonder about the motivation for his answer. 🤔
Her claim that she saw a study that said "creating green spaces" would reduce violent crime is really pathetic. Who in their right mind would actually believe that?
She obviously has not paid much attention to what is actually the driving force behind these mostly young men doing this.
It has very little to do either with their physical environment or even that they don’t have their basic needs met as AOC would have us believing. She is only thinking from her own perspective not understanding what these people are all about.
She needs to listen to men who used to be part of that life, like Ak Nation.
She is right. Creating green spaces provides more room for gangs to run around in and during their gun fights as they can hide behind trees, bushes and stuff at a distance so there's less of a chance of hitting someone = less violent crime. Her logic?
Swamp Thing from DC Comics
Moss Man from Masters of the Universe
@@thetoymanator7723 Not to mention, gangs will get involved in taking care of these green spaces and learn valuable skills that will make them less likely to create crime.
Ah yes, improving living conditions making things better, fuck that noise, right?
If the good Doctor claims that she is not advocating for outlawing anything, then why is she testifying in front of Congress???
Because she was subpoenaed. Refusal of a Federal subpoena is tantamount to Contempt of Congress, and that gets you time at Club Fed.
@@Rotorhead1651makes you wonder why old hag hillery is still roaming free don't it.
Are you sure that she was subpoenid?
@@Rotorhead1651 i looked up a dozen news stories covering this, and there is no evidence that she was supoenaed.
❤️Mr Kennedy! He is terrific!
The look on the last Doctors face when Kennedy says: Wow! was priceless. He in essence said that one of his colleagues rapists should be forgiven. It's all about feeling sorry for the criminals instead of for their victims. If you can;t see the writing on the wall as to where this has our society heading to, we are in deep deep trouble.
Do not despair, do not give up on morals. Each of us play a part.
It's been this way for many yrs.This shit is not new.
I heard "I belive in respect" "rape shouldn't be punished"..
Where are all the "Me Too" people. How did we go from that to this so fast?!@@dtllcmotorsportwa
Red FLAGS... for sure...
'No state shall make OR ENFORCE any law which abridges the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States' - United States Constitution.

When called as a witness, you are there to answer questions. You are NOT there to stand on a soapbox and spout your own beliefs instead of answering said questions.

Agreed. How do they get elected to office when words like education and phrases like improving urban areas are "word salad".
I think these proceedings are garish. It really lifts the curtain on why no one is held accountable.... Filibustering is my new Scrabble word *pulls fire alarm to exit mental Hospital
@@SlipstreamIndex Which side being held accountable? Politicians for having pointless proceedings where they don't really want a true and useful answer, or random people not wanting to get baited into a politicians line of questiniong?
Those 3 States she mentioned, the majority of the crimes happened in blue cities.
@@shadow-jc3vp The politician's line of questioning is vital to the security and safety of his constituents.
For that last guy. You can tell he's never had to face these kind of problems. Lets see how forgiving he's willing to be if it was a family member who was killed or raped. Bet he wouldn't be so forgiving then. Again the only way you make people understand a problem is to make it personal for them.

Prime example of someone who always has an opinion on something when it meets their narrative, but when asked specific questions then they stumble horribly.
"Never get in a battle of wits with an unarmed person" - Samuel Clemens
Kennedy, his bumbling buffoon facade, that folks think make look him so smart, as if he knows anything at all. "Looky, Ma! He's an Oxford graduate from over there in England. Surely his line of questioning means something smart!"
Prime example of when the senator gets an answer that doesn't fit his narrative it's "word salad".
@@shadow-jc3vpno. She didn't answer his question... Were you listening?
@@813entertainment9 Maybe he should ask questions directed at her field of knowledge rather than asking for her opinion. Whats the point of bringing in any of these folks if you are simply going to ask their personal and not professional opinion on the subject.
Dodge and weave; but whatever you do - do not answer any questions.
how about Foghorn Leghorn ask a MEDICAL DOCTOR questions about public health, not criminal prosecutions
Why won't the federal bureaucracy just leave us alone? Why do they have to be all up in all of our business all of the time?
Imagine a day when these conversations actually require a straight answer.
That will be when she stands before her creator.
@@Seeklip6T And she best get straight and avoid the White Throne judgement
She doesn't have an opinion on the cities that would disprove her narrative.....
These Senate hears sound like a huge waste of time and money.
On the surface it may seem like it HOWEVER, given the MSM spends 24/7/365 lying and spewing DNC propaganda the Senate hearings are one way to keep FACTS in the public view. You are not going to see the malignant cancer of democrats on the nightly MSM news.
Damn, the guy at the end who said he believes in forgiving people who do horrible crimes must be hiding a few secrets himself. No one in their right mind would say something like that without a specific reason. What a frightening answer.
I was thinking the same thing. 🤔
I was thinking that same thing, then he sits there looking smuggly at Kennedy, I don't think anything really bad has happened to him or his family or he wouldn't be so smug 😕🤔
Its because there is a huge amount of criminals who hes counting on for votes

Just like the people who believe in Bigfoot, etc.
He asked dumb questions and because of it, didn't get answers. So he's the opposite of a fact finder.
He got to the point when he asked “you been on television a lot?”
Narcissism loves acknowledgment
So hasn't Kennedy.
Kennedy will literally pay to put himself on television whenever he pleases, besides from all the TV he already gets
Hypocrite Democrats never cease to amaze!
Because they don't own guns nor have the courage to stand up for themselves and use a gun in self defence means they think no one else should either...
Not answering a question should be contempt. Or lying under oath.

@@shadow-jc3vp Jame's is yo daddy, little lady.
Newsflash: you cannot forgive a crime that was done to someone else. If a woman is raped and murdered in DC or anywhere else, that male doctor CANNOT forgive the murderer. That forgiveness can only come from the victim, and the victim would no longer be alive to bestow it. If someone steals your life savings, Doctor, I cannot forgive the thief, because his crime was not against me. This is basic moral logic, and you don't have it.
Also forgiving is not the same as preventing punishment.
Yup. The one done damage to is the one responsible for forgiveness or not. The victim does not have to forgive them if the debt is not paid either. If the victim decides to then its a good thing from the victim and deserving compensation (perhaps from a third party), and if the victim does not decide to forgive and take a eye for an eye, then it is normal and flatline karma.
People dont even have this flatline anymore. They think forgiveness is some normal thing. They downplay it. Meanwhile the majority are operating from a below "do what you want done to you " moral precision level. This hurts the good people who do forgive, the normal people who do play by basic karma, and also provides an environment where the majority operates below baseline can thrive.
