Senator Kennedy, you, Sir, are a national treasure. Thank you.
He is indeed. ❤
I was going to say the same thing. You beat me to. 😊
A Messiah of Common Sense and Integrity. TRUMP Apostle. ✝ "When truth is spoken, there's no foaming at the mouth" Obama, Biden and Harris must be jailed.
He’s kinfolk to rfk jr them too?
Jc?
We love him, he has a way with words but he makes sense plus he has common sense
I love listening to Senator Kennedy's downhome, front porch wisdom.
❤ I agree
❤
Bottom 10 state in education the entire time you’re a senator is wisdom?
@@cbr274 Confused about what you are trying to say. Yes, Louisiana doesn’t do as well as other states, but the whole US education system is failing our kids.
❤❤❤❤❤
Im a 73 yr old lady in the uk.i love listening to this WONDERFUL gentleman. So wise and true .wish all people in all offices of power were as honest and truthful for the care of its people and COUNTRY and SECURITY. Thankyou sir ❤❤❤❤❤
So agree ,I’m Scottish .
Hi sweetie bless you .❤❤❤❤❤@@sarahweir4037

I'm a 92 year old woman from North Carolina and I so agree with everything you say senator Kennedy keep up the good work
I'm a 75 yr old man, a UK citizen living in the Caribbean and I love listening to this man. When he speaks, people listen respectfully because he always makes sense.
I love Senator Kennedy. He has a unique & often humorous way of making many very serious points. He is always on point & honest. Thank you, Louisiana, for electing this gentleman.
Well said! Thank You!!
He’s a hypocrite just like the rest of them
@@stardustgoldcrochethey, bite your tongue! Other statesmen dane to be worthy to carry his brief case!!
@@stardustgoldcrochetma’am you clearly don’t know my Sen Kennedy from Louisiana. Take a look on the left side of the aisle if you want to see some hypocrisy. I’m waiting for you to apologize to our great Senator. Bless your heart Precious!
@@marianaking5413 How's that working out for you Louisiana? Kennedy is one of the main reasons you are always in the bottom for education, healthcare, economy, etc.
John Kennedy is the best orator in the whole Senate!
No he wasted time and said nothing he is time wasting for no reason.
@@edthebumblingfool Username checks out.
I would have loved to see him and AL debate against Stephan Douglas back in the day…..that would have been something!
Foaming at the mouth! LOL
He’s pointing out the hypocrisy of democrat swamp creatures!!! Proving they don’t enforce out laws! Nice to have a real president who puts Americans first!!!!
RIGHT ON TARGET‼️ Love to hear his voice of truth and righteousness….
As Australian listening to his gentleman speak, is breath of fresh air. Straight talker with humour but makes his serious points firmly and directly no nonsense. Plus l love his southern accent.
“ we’re gonna run out of digits “. So powerful. 🇦🇺
I’m an Aussie who loves listening to him and watching him as well. My other favourites are Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.
The confirmation hearings are crazy!
I’m an Aussie too and I just love his ability to absolutely roast his opponents in such a ‘nice’ way but man, he hits the mark every time. He has a wonderful way with words. “Pass me the sick bucket” “this takes a special kind of stoopid” 🤣🤣 He’s a national treasure 😂❤😊
Fellow Australian here. I love this man and I pray that he has a long life blessed by God to continue in his work. And yes the southern accent is special.
I wouldn’t say straight talker but we get there 😂
Who doesn't love to hear Senator Kennedy lay it out in simple language?
What so sad is that he shouldn’t have had to. People especially congress should have thought it themselves and discussed it. It’s common sense but that’s nowhere to be seen.
Yes but then he always throws in a completely hilarious folksy new metaphor
Democrats
The ones hes after! Haha
Thank you for for letting me know and and understand what is going on in this country Sen John Kennedy God bless you.
Senator John Kennedy, I only wish you could be everyones Senator. You are THE most level headed and heartfelt Human being in the Senate. You are EPIC.
❤🙏🏻 I CONCUR! I’m from Delaware and I believe that’s all I have to say about my senator and ex senator. 🤮🤮
Whitehouse for me,brilliant senator
Whitehouse and Kaine Are the Best!!
@@lindaromero3802 🤣🐶
???
Senator John Kennedy you are the best. You are a true American treasure! ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I concur!
Amen and Thank You! We are behind you..
Senator John Kennedy is one of Louisiana’s best treasures. God blessed us with this common sense, no b. s. allowed, statesman. Now, if we could only figure out how to clone him….
@@pamkyzar1456 don’t you know he would make a wonderful professor of law. I pray there are a few still out there teaching.
Supporting Trump is not patriotic at all! Trump ignores Congress by trying to govern by executive orders!
Thank you Sir! For doing ur job and caring about people.
AMEN
We must find our way to FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY... EVEN if it HURTS.
You can be the first volunteer.
@@davidcantu4945 some of us got volunteered by Democrats funding Ukraine and Illegals 1st. No help for: North Carolina, Homeless Americans ... its a very long list.
@sassyfrass429Trump just took office on the 20th and he has already been to N.C. and help is on the way so if you're going to make a statement make sure you have your facts straight! 5
@@davidcantu4945 I’ve lived fiscally responsible my whole life. Never took a dime from the government even with having a child at 20. Never had a medical card, WIC, food stamps, or my college paid for. My ex husband and I worked and worked and paid for our own degrees. It is absolutely possible. You just can’t look like a boss until you are a boss.
Reread that comment again @JanaLemons-dl7tk
I truly admire Senator Kennedy!!! He doesn't take any crap from anyone!!!
Well said!!🙏🙏🎵🇺🇸💕💕💕💕
You can have him
From england he is legend we need him as our PRIMINISTER
Who got the REMEDY john KENNEDY
except he will vote for things that should not be allowed....big talker and smalll in action....RINO...only in it for the money.
Thank you Senator Kennedy! Keep reminding them we can’t keep going on this way. Appreciate you!
This should be played on all major networks for the American people to see!
Make it happen!
Absolutely it should. but of course it won't be.
Exactly!
When this man leaves the Senate floor will lose more class with and wisdom than it ever deserved.
Who is the muse
Clearly writing complete sentences is to much to ask
God forbid he actually ever represent the working class for once... he won't be missed when he finally leaves.
@@bcbeasters What planet are you living on??? He represents us, the working class 100%. You must mean you don't understand him. I sure if you try you can understand words with more than four letters.
Totally agree!!!!!
SENATOR KENNEDY WOW, YOU ARE WARM, HEARTED, kind-hearted, you my friend are the real deal.❤🎉❤🎉❤. You sir, I would like to see continue on forever fighting for the citizens of USA 🇺🇸
AGREED!!
Thank you Senator Kennedy for explaining the debt situation with clear, indisputable details. 👏
I hope he is training someone for when he has to retire❤
Here in UK. I love this man, he's funny , sensible & down to earth & loves his country & ppl.
Thank you we do too!
🇺🇸🇬🇧 Indiana here. I love Farage for the same.
Irish here. I totally agree 🇮🇪
It’s so adorable how the UK is interested in our news lol just as much as we are
He's a national treasure!
One of the most beautiful speeches I have ever heard from a Congressman. I hope and pray that people hear It. God bless you mister kennedy
Love love love this Senater...Our Country needs many more like him
Amen I Agree Many, Many More Like Him.
NOT SURE HOW CATATONIC APPLIES HERE?
HOW ABOUT WE START WITH SALARY PAY CUTS IN WASHINGTON FOR SENATORS AND CONGRESS.
Thank God we have this gentleman from the south. Senator Kennady is fearless and eloquent at the same time. May God Bless this gracious, polite man.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've genuinely been curious, what the heck is in that Kool-aide?
What's wrong with you ?
Legitimately the greatest senator of all time🤣
Grifter and you should know this but nobody reads above a six grade level!
@@kathyrosenberger2887 Enjoy the next 4 years. 😂
Watching this Senator is my best thing. More informative and entertaining than any movie. Thank you UA-cam.
STANDING OVATION FOR THIS SENATURE ... NOT SURE I'VE EVER , EVER HEARD SUCH HONESTY COME OFF THAT FLOOR ... EVER ......!!!!!!!!! I ALMOST CRIED WITH PURE PRIDE AT WHAT I JUST WITTNESSED ...
What's a SENATURE?
Lets include Chip Roy and Rand Paul in that sentiment, although, except for Chip, their voting record does not always reflect their rederic. Cuts have to be made, should have been made, or we are done.
Senator Kennedy is correct...and I agree with Puppynutter3 that their "Rhetoric" does not always reflect their voting record. Step Up. Reduce the fat in government spending.
@@copedawg$000000000
I want someone to write down all of Kennedy's quips and let him put them together in a book. He makes me laugh even when the subject matter is serious.
He is such a wonderful human being.
I'll buy that book for a Ooo oo many people!!💞 ❤
Excellent idea❤
I would buy that book, too ! Particularly being that I’m originally from Louisiana
the funniest one ive heard him say so far was about/to trudeau, "If you wanna be a smartass, first you have to be smart, otherwise you're just an ass." lmfao
Love this Man, listen to him often, sensible, down to earth common sense. That's from me an English, UK, lady watching 🇬🇧😍
Imagine what a great world we could have if everyone in power would have 10% of his wisdom, honesty and common sense. The best and fearless Senator speaking the truth all the time.
So true!🇺🇸
COMMOM SENSE SPOKEN HERE TODAY !!!
I adore this man! He has never disappointed in any commentary he has ever issued. Truth and honesty in any politician is very rare, but he is a true gem that embodies what we are all thinking. Thank God for John Kennedy! Long life, sir!
I laugh at his humor every time I watch him. He’s even funnier on the news 😂
Thank you Senator Kennedy! We appreciate your wisdom. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
ITA 💯, Thank you River Parishes, Louisiana ⚜️
Thank you Senator Kennedy from Pointe Coupee Parish.
Mr. Haney got out of Hooterville. The village wants its idiot back.
Thank you Senator Kennedy you make Louisiana proud!
Amen.
It does not get any better than senator Kennedy ❤ God Bless him and his patience
I wish he could influence democrats
I absolutely love this chap he speaks SooO much sense bless him. May God protect him and bless him in abundance 🙏🙏
Senator John Kennedy, you are simply awesome!! I thank God we have you, watching Trumps back and watching our backs. Stand firm and strong, Sir, you are supported!❤
Absolutely Amen I Agree Completely.
He always has had Trump's back, Trump has our backs and we have his and Senator Kennedy's !!
Love this HONEST man.
Sen Kennedy you are one very smart cookie! I enjoy honesty and to the point! Thank you Sir!!
Will we ever see you parked at the big house? 🎉
I love you, Senator Kennedy. You’re the best thing that ever happened to Louisiana and our government.
I never heard such clear explanation of what is happening and what was done on the last months😔 with the budget.
No bs no.lies just facts no lies no sugar coating.
Thank you
Great presentation, great common sense (which seems to be very lacking) & I sincerely appreciate what you do👏
He’s trying to reign in spending! He’s doing what we hired him for!
BINGO
Isn’t that a novel idea. ❤
Oh that explains why Trump wanted to raise the debt ceiling
@@deadnorth8333trump trump trump trump. THEY HAVE TO since they’re already at the limit. Due to non stop spending over the last 16 years from Dems. Get your head out of your ass the govt almost shut down during bidens presidency and they also raised it.
@@deadnorth8333dems raised it and they almost shut down the govt recently. Remember Dems have been in power 16 years out of 20. So you blaming trump for everything is a joke. Especially when you’re hiding millions in an infrastructure bill for Pakistani gender studies research. Instead of realizing both sides have their own blame for parts of this. All you do is trump trump trump trump trump
Here a puertorican, living in NC for 28 years I love Senator Kennedy.
I’m in NC too 🇺🇸
I am NC as well and Absolutely 💯 ❤love Senator Kennedy he is wise and speaks truth we have Virginia Fox she is good as well gives them hell on the floor 👍🏻
So you are American firstly, correct?
I AM CANADIAN BORN IN SUNNY JAMAICA,WI AND I LOVE HIM TOO.
Wishing we had more in Congress like him!!
Thank You, LORD, for the gift of Senator Kennedy to America! May he live long and prosper according to Your perfect will. Amen.
Amen!🙏 ❤
Amen! ❤
Amen, Lord!!! When the righteous rule, the people rejoice!!
The Biden administration is so low class, it reminds me of the ghetto person that wins $1 million lottery and spends it all in a couple weeks. Biden got in office with all that money at his fingertips and went wild like country bumpkins do when they come into money through lawsuit or lotteries.. They go broke very quickly. That’s what this Biden administration has been full of.
@@FirstLast-pb3hvAmen!
This man have saved many situations in the senate and the congress, regarding the entire american nation, not just his homestate.
And where is his state in education? Unemployment? People on Medicare/medicaid? Why is that do you think?!
You are so correct, imagine being the prosecutor against him LOL Louisiana is lucky to have this gentleman.
in what way....he is a RINO....hasn't saved anything voted against common sense hundreds of times.....to enrich himself and his family....show me proof of what situations you speak of.
prior state government decisions for many centuries.
Legitimately the greatest senator of all time🤣
I absolutely love and adore this Gentleman. Love from UK 🙏🇬🇧🌹🇺🇸💯 🌎
Thank you, Louisiana, for electing this man to the senate! He’s a national treasure ❤
Senator Kennedy - a wily wise old fox - if only we had a dozen of your mettle here in the U.K. - I really enjoy watching when you speak so eloquently - thank you
He is fantastic and amazing. 😊
A real truth teller 😊
THIS guy is one of the best!
if he would only get to the point a little quicker! lol
@@rob12449 nah, I like the way he weaves his speech so you can see it clearly
@@rob12449but there’s no misunderstanding. you understand what he represents and believes. i can understand the criticism but look at it as a positive. not alot of senators do what he does, i know mine dont.
@ I agree, he certainly is one of the best examples we have.
@@rob12449very clearly got to the bottom , smart man, love his country!
Senator Kennedy is by far my favorite Senator. Savage 😂
Me tooooo he is hilarious and unapologetic. Very smart and out of the box thinker.
He is truly a Poster Senator for the GRAND OLD PARTY. 😁
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is savage too!
@ lol I am in love with, he is my dads age and I am an legal immigrant.
@Thanks for the tip, I will check him out.
GREAT JOB Senator Kennedy explaining this in simplistic terms..THe goose has stopped laying the golden eggs!!
Thank you Mr. Kennedy for clarifying everything
God bless this man with a healthy, mentally competent, long life. Our country needs this man as long as possible.
Excellent.
Thank you!
Thank you, Sen Kennedy 👊
I pray the senate works together to solve these problems and listens to this down to earth common sense patriotic man who loves this country I love him❤❤❤❤
Amen!!!
Amen - have so much respect for this man!
I, too, have love and respect for him!!
Does anyone else in Congress speak truth like this man!?! Thank you Senator John Kennedy.
They won't all they care about is their rich behind.
Love to hear Sen. Kennedy speak on anything❤ He always gets to the point, speaking clearly, with his endearing
Southern accent & genuine emotional delivery, with common sense, as a man of the people, for the good of the people! So greatful to pray to God to keep blessing & protecting this American treasure!🙏🏼✨💕🇺🇸

Omgosh! I adore this Man. Love you Senator Kennedy! God Bless You Sir......❤🙏
Thank you, Sen. Kennedy! You’re an American treasure!
HUh?
Billionaires cuts isn't a Kennedy thing, hope you know this. Now their screaming how the country was ruined, yet my accounts are the largest they've been, gas has already risen. This is a joke, inflation isn't a reason to give elites everything and see what happens
Exactly Amen.
Thank you Senator Kennedy . He is well aware of why this memorandum was sent out. It is essential to stop funding nonsense.
Healthcare for children, what nonsense.
Mr. Kennedy is the most qualified person for the said job. He will go down as a national icon. God be with you and your family Mr. Kennedy.
@@20quidyou need to be more educated
GOD BLESS YOU SENATOR KENNEDY. Look forward to a hug in HEAVEN.❤❤🎉🎉
I usually click when I see a Sen.Kennedy video. Always informative and he makes me laugh, we need some humor.
I love his accent. Ever since I moved to the south I have met so many honest, kind, hardworking Southern men. I don't know this man personally, but I am biased toward that accent now.
Thank you as a southern woman my whole life. ❤ I love that I have grown up in the south. I love being around southern hospitality in action; and I’m glad you are experiencing it. katrina. Welcome to the south, and welcome home ❤
God bless Sen. John Kennedy! I just love this man.
He would have fit right in with our Founders.....I can see Him and Franklin having lunch, lol Love this guy.
He has Founding Father vibes out the wazoo❤️
I so respect this man! Common sense!! It has been lost and now it’s found. I wish he was my Senator.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amazing grace! Once was lost, but now is found. Praise God!
I do too!
Senator John Kennedy is one in a million! He makes listening easy, his humour injected makes even the worst situations interesting and keeps people interest! Out of all of the senators Mr Kennedy tells it like it is and fights to get things done and ensure the truth is told.
KENNEDY IS AS DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS! He makes Tuberville look smart and that's almost impossible!
My senator johnson from wisconsin right next to him
He Sure Does Wish We. Had More Like Him.
Absolutely love love love listening to this man in all his wisdom he can be so hilarious 😂👏watching him always from South Africa 🇿🇦
❤
You sure won't go to sleep listen to him.
Thank you for explaining this!!!
If we didn't know who was really running the USA, Then I think freezing the money is the smart thing to do. Thank you sen Kennedy 🙏
What a great argument! Spot on.
Here here, Mr. Kennedy. Well said. I hope they are listening.
Love his analogies. Love his wit, but most of all his Common Sense!
The Laws Back in Town 🤠❤
Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 I love this man, he's brilliant 👏👏👏💪💚
To help the people is to stand by us and our country ❤️
Excellent speech and content is real. Only way to get out of this mess.
Kennedy's insight is always a treasure and the way he shares it will always be an eye opener and sometimes a chuckle! ❤
Love listening to senator John Kennedy speak he is a great southern speaker and humorous 😂
This Senator is awesome love his style ❤
What a lovely sensible man . Thank you Senator Kennedy from the U.K. 👍
I am grateful to hear this vigorously expressed and clearly spoken assessment of our government.
I could listen to this common sense man impart real wisdom all day long !🥰 Hearing the TRUTH is so refreshing !!💗
No one , and I mean no one , can say things like Senator Kennedy does...love his down to earth, common sense , no nonsense, humorous way of putting things!
Thank you Senator Kennedy! You proved you can speak without cussing or vulgarity! I love you. You are a good man. Thank you! ❤
I love listening to you. You help me have a better understanding of the inner workings. We do not hear this on the major news stations generally.
My thanks!
That's exactly why I never listen to the MSM/legacy media! They never report the "news", but instead what their short sighted, left leaning opinions are!!!
Yep, love you Senator- you crack me up and The Entire World needs a dose of your COMMON SENSE!!!
God bless You & America.
Thankyou, Forbs , for making these videos available to us.
There are no words to say how great this guy is !!!!
you need to look at his voting record....he definitely talks a great game....but alot of times....his vote DOES NOT back up his WORDS....he is deep state....needs to retire ASAP.
🙏🏽 thank you and I am praying for our country and leaders.
A Patriot like this makes it hard to agree to term limits. He’s worth 10 do nothing Senators.
At the least 🙂
Louisiana will add an exclusion clause that will state as long as Sen. John Kennedy has a pulse and breath, he stays in office! LOL! ❤😂
You're so right!
Same for Mr. Trump 👍
I agree!! This man has more common sense than all Biden's administration!!
I just love John Kennedy…”catatonic, just foaming at the mouth” lol. He always knows how to make a statement.
Loved it, but the word he wanted was "apoplectic".
He's the best. I always love when he starts with a "Your words not mine." then I know it's going to be good. He's too damn clever to get over on.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really, a repube that's too dam clever,really, your funny !
Legitimately the greatest senator of all time🤣
Thank you for clarifying this for everyone Senator. Much appreciated. Bless you.
I love Senator Kennedy, his wit is fantastic.
Yessssssss better than any comedy movie. He cracks me up.
I just learned soooo much!
