Once again Senator Kennedy is exposing the bs in this administration. Ty sir
these guys are career employees
"This is no country for creepy old men"
~ Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
Including POTUS
Well what's Foghorn Leghorn doing there then?
Agreed, Senator Kennedy wants to know "what does yadda, yadda, yadda mean."
All these crooked corrupt folks get called out and exposed…but nothing happens to them.
EXACTLY THEY ALL GET AWAY WITH IT ALWAYS. IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS.
They still get paid millions of stolen dollars
YES, AND NEVER WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS LONG AS THE DEMOCRATS HOLD THE POWER IN OFFICE !
If more Conservative folks took Midterm and state/local election participation more seriously, we'd have changed the Congressional "balance of power" long ago. As is, the slim majority in House of Reps can vote impeachment or anything else, only to have it thrown out in Senate. Conservatives need control WH and/or all Congress for anything positive to happen. THAT hasn't been case for 30 yrs. since 90s & Speaker Newt Gingrich. Bonus coincidence: last time budget balances, work done, NO Gov. Shutdown. Ah! Fading memory. Probably not again, unless....see top voter thingy again.
Oh...you'll soon see..what happens.
Senator Kennedy keep up the great work! Thank you!❤
Great work of what?
@amberspaulding Truthful FACTS & HONESTY. It is wonderful that he holds those who are not accountable for lying.He tells it like it is!
@@deanapark5695I second you👍👍👍
Wow, 20 years and doesn't know what's going on under his nose. Unbelievable!
Senator Kennedy is right! That's not a place for "creepy old men!"
Exactly and they praise him and he is clueless
On the board, but not involved in the day to day operations of the FDIC.
Sickening! DON'T ASK... DON'T TELL!!
Yes, unbelievable
Senator Kennedy is a national treasure.
For sure!
National disgrace.
very RICH.
Agreed, now all he needs to do is find out "what does yadda, yadda, yadda mean."
How the hell do these people get into positions of power without accountability
Family and friends.
They are corrupt.
How do you think Kamala got VP? LMAOOO
Still goes on in the private sector as well. 😢 Most big companies have you take yearly courses on corporate corruption and sexual harassment. 😮
Its best not to talk to any woman unless you have to.
Once again Senator Kennedy hits the nail on the head!
But nothing happens afterwards.
he got hit on the head a long time ago.... Poor in-Sen-ator Kennedy...... no dental plan to purchase new dentures..... this is a disgrace ! ha ha ha.............
Agreed, now all he needs to do is find out "what does yadda, yadda, yadda mean."
Wow, Senator Kennedy does not hold anything back. He has no problem calling like it is…. I Love it 😊
Hello dear
How you doing?
You got to love the wisdom of Senator Kennedy!
❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
He’s brilliant..
@@nikkihoffman2891 He's very smart
Porky's Revenge!
Oh God. Kennedy had days to plan that clever bit. He achieved nothing but something cheap at the expense of a guy who had to go in and submit to this bad faith garbage.
AMEN!!!
Thank you Senator Kennedy for holding the line
Senator John Kennedy… to bad you didn’t have Presidential experience in place of worthless presidential that seemed to have gotten voted for that spot. At least you would have cared with your heart mind and soul and gotten much more good coverage than what has with previous last ten other than President Trumps, Reagan, JFK. Thank you Sir for letting many bad actors officials in politics know they were a piece of garbage letting Americans down in horrible ways and times.
Eisenhower
We Love You, Brother.
You are a true Patriot
And a Disciple of Christ
@@danstephensen90321:01 1:01
Holding the line? Hardly. This is just theater. What ever is accomplished by these endless hearings the majority party holds? I've never seen anything change except the size of the campaign donations.
Those so called republicans who chose not to impeach myorka or whatever his name is should be called out on national television so the voters know who not to vote for
They have demonstrated very selective attention when it comes to upholding the constitution....
All 8 of them were listed with their photos on Newsmax - one of the 8 was Tom McClintock (CA) that Kevin McCarthy put forth to replace him as speaker. I wouldn't expect any other mainstream media to call out anyone on anything unless you are speaking out against these types.
There’s trouble at the FDIC too…is there an area in our government that isn’t corrupt at hell??
I am a republican, but I agree with you. But I'm disappointed in both sides of the isle. Actually I wouldn't be a Democrat for a any amount of money
Doris here
Maybe one day you will learn that there is no Republican Party or Democratic Party.
They are all in one called The UniParty.
Why do you think that nothing ever goes in your favor?
All other countries get hundreds of millions of dollars while you get taxed.
We need more men like Mr. KENNEDY.
SO TRUE
stone age.
@@michaelheery3085 HE WILL NOT LIE LIKE RASKIN DEM
Totally agree
Kennedy is hardcore. I love it
I wish Senator Kennedy would have asked that guy, “Did you talk to the Chairman and tell him that he HAD to do something about the sexual harassment?”
We've actually learned nothing about the situation there.
Senator Kennedy exposed them. Listen again...
Love Senator Kennedy!!!! Thank you for doing your homework sir!
Still nothing gets done!
any moment Sen. Kennedy makes an appearance.. his every word makes every bit of sense
and nothing EVER happens. It is all a show, and not a funny one.
@@njgfpv3696 🎯
Thank you, bot 🙏🏼
@@njgfpv3696 I've said this many times.
CONGRESS CANNOT BRING CHARGES. All they can do is work to dig in and expose the corruption, proper retribution can only be brought forth by the DOJ. And we all know how trustworthy and reliable THEY are...
It's easy to make that impression when you don't allow the other side to talk.
Shame we do not have more people in government like Senator Kennedy. How far we have fallen.
Kennedy has enabled Trump's predatory sexual behavior. Trump was found guilty of defamation and sexual assault in a court of law. Yet, republicans are STILL enabling his behavior. There will come a reckoning. The universe keeps track of EVERY thought and action.
Oh really? Check out the state of his state and how much federal money it needs.
he is red knecked hilly Billy does zilch for his region.

“This is no country for creepy old men!” You go, sir!
For an older guy there is a very fine line between being edgy and being creepy. 👴
This is no Country for any creepy man!
Then what the hell is Creepy Joe doing sitting in the Whitehouse!!??
@@douglasreagan4979 so much of the population is creepy or too close to the uncanny Valley, that I tolerate them to be civil..
You mean like hair smellers and ear whispers kind of old men?
Is the exact reason why we love Kennedy a true patriot with a set of titanium balls, God bless him and his family a true American Patriot, 🧬💯🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😇👍
BIG titanium balls! FJB
Hed make a hell of a president along with Gowdy!!!
That young lady sitting behind Senator Kennedy stared unflinchingly at the witness without missing a beat the entire time.
I noticed that too. She was looking daggers at that guy…
She's cute too 😍
I think she’s watching is body language to see his reaction.
I didn’t notice it until I read your comment. Her expression is an amalgamation of professionalism and tempered disgust. Good for her. I bet she handled a significant part of the research for Senator Kennedy on this disgusting mess. She has probably seen a ton of complaints about this kind of misconduct throughout government and how difficult it is to hold senior bureaucrats accountable for failing to manage their departments. Watching one of them squirm from that vantage point while he’s being scolded for passing the buck is better than getting box seats for any other public event anywhere. Imagine working for a member of Congress and not having to worry about ever being asked to lie to the public or worry about a scandal. If she’s sitting behind that senator, I guarantee she’s earned it by being extremely competent, hardworking and honest.
@@cindygreleski5376Yup, loved it.
I can watch Kennedy all day long !
Don't these Senate hearings ever result in anything but mild embarassment on the part of the perpretrators? Doesn't anyone ever lose their job, or face a suspension? That's how it works in the WORLD outside of Congress in little Washington, DC. You and I? A visit to Human Resources, A letter or two in your file, then DISMISSAL. These hearings have no teeth.
Not under the biden regime.
Seems that way in the “Swamp”
Exactly. Very disappointing
I think both sides of the aisle are just sick of this shit
No
Senator Kennedy is amazing!
Love Senator Kennedy, he always gets straight to the issues without any BS.
I like the lady over Sen. Kennedy's left shoulder. I would like to help her get promoted. ----Ted Biden, Eastern Regional Director, FDIC
If you removed all the bs from Kennedy, there'd just be an empty suit left.
there's something wrong with him. Watch how his head shakes after he stops talking
He's a bankster agent. Thus the enemy of humanity.
I like Kennedy too, he's no nonsense 🎉
I don’t doubt for one minute that he not only knew about it he likely participated. Who is he kidding?
It’s extremely unlikely that he was the only one not to participate in his departments culture; he probably went back to his office and had his young female secretary waiting to soothe his stress
you don’t know that
Or was complicit by not speaking up and calling out the pervs
Thank you so so much Senator Kennedy.
Breakdown of our moral society. This is in all parts of our society. If you want to be treated with respect, you've got to self guard yourself from these narcissist. They are everywhere. Got one in the White House too.
You are so right.
💯🤙🏻😎
🤡🌎🥵
No. He was voted out in 2020. We have to do everything we can to make sure that fool doesn't weasel his way back in.😊
@@mikewyman2059 Somebody was voted out. That's all we can garner from your post?
@@earlofmar7987 yes. Djt was voted out.. No rocket science there. I was responding to a post that said we had a narcissist in the white house. I just wanted to clarify.
TO BAD COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON WITH THESE APPOINTED OFFICIALS!🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
*too
I could watch Senator Kennedy all day. I'm Australian, and I can't get enough of him. He gives me hope for the USA and the Western world.
I love Senator Kennedy as well 🥰
Same here.
The true hope is in Jesus Christ. Until the war in DC is won, and Obama and his ilk defeated, our true hope is and always will be in Jesus Christ. Pray brothers and sisters!
The person being interrogated is so misinformed they can never answer the questions , or they know the answers and they are just lying!!!!
The later
I love the way John Kennedy rips corrupt politicians a new asshole.....he asks direct yes or no questions and he gets a five minute long response......it's a yes or no question..... unbelievable..... John Kennedy should run for president
RFK Jr is
@@jacobjarisch4577 They're not related if that's what you thought.
I would love to see Kennedy across the table from the DOJ and see how big of Fools he makes of them! They know Biden is guilty as hell it’s self
What the hell is going on. Is anyone working or wasting taxpayers' money in the office. God. 🙏👍❤️🇺🇸
You can and should Say that again!!
we need to shut it down. pay the soldiers. not their abortions. and we can't go to National parks for awhile
TBF no proof has been shown. And if you know these cases a large amount of them come up being bs. Not saying I do think that's the case here but we need to wait for actual proof. I've seen it personally more times than I can count where women lie about this because they weren't chosen for a position they thought they deserved or just didn't like the guy. So we should all be wanting proof at this stage, not be in the sentencing stage like it seems like so many ppl who are being too emotional are doing.
Fdic is not funded by tax dollars
@@jdgoesham5381 This is based on a report from 2020... This isn't BS
He accepts responsibility, but he did nothing because he was only a member of the board and not the chairman. Sounds like the Nuremberg defense: "I was only following orders". Maybe he wasn't participating, but since he knew of the activities and didn't do anything about it, that means he condoned the activity.
I know nothing.
First thing I noticed was that this guy looks like Fauci and figured he was guilty right off the bat
Lol..yes💯
You’re right!!!
The way he makes them squirm over truth definitely feels like positive change in progress.
Kennedy should email this to everyone who works the FDIC.
cant get enough of Senator Kennedy,, absolute Patriot
Senator Kennedy: “Have you ever sexually harassed an employee at the FDIC?”
FDIC Chariman: “No, Sir.”
Senator Kennedy: “Apparently you’re the only one.”
That was awesome!
Immediately stepped down and resigned. Way to go, Senator Kennedy.
I love John Kennedy. A true statesman, a true American.
Yes yes yes to the wonderful Mr Kennedy
Fucking legendary!
Love Kennedy! Love the girl behind him,just staring at them!
Mr Kennedy is the best Senator! I love watching him because he always gets to the heart of the subject and it's no-holds-barred.
It amazes me how wormy most of these people are.
I don't care who you are or what position of power or authority you claim to have, I will always talk to another person as a peer and I will never allow another to subjugate me.
It's funny how weak humanity has become.
NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT AT ALL , ITS DISMAYING ! It's dismal !
@@angelashort1331 I think they meant funny as in ironic.
Don't you think he looks like crooked Fauci 😅
Well, if women are strong and equal, isn't it to be inferred, then, that they are capable of refusing to be "subjugated" as you have? Or is this another example of soft sexism of low expectations while claiming equality? Or, is it all just BS?
Wormy people. First I’ve heard that one. Like it!
This is disgusting of the FDIC. I would imagine if one govt agency thinks like that, they all do. The US govt is making me sick
I love Senator Kennedy; I wish he was our President. At this point, America needs someone like him.
RFK Jr is running
The woman behind senator Kennedy personifies why we need actual feminists who care about women, that is the stare of accountability.
Lol, so true
Right! Holy cow, spot on! I was just commenting about her. Who is she? She must be part of Senator Kennedys’ staff.
@@pkrocker2782 must be, I saw other comments saying she is part of the team that did the research for his line of questioning, suffice to say it was damn good👍
Kennedy is priceless, brilliant man
When Trump comes back he needs to clean house with these sick agencies
Trump is not coming back, we can not give up democracy to Him.
There are not sick agencies.
He isn't.
He's the sickest, perviest of them all.😅
@@Startheria Those running them r
Thank You! Senator Kennedy you are a true American Patriot!!!!
Now I'm not a politician, but I suspect that when proceedings open up with "What the *hell* is going on at your agency?" things are not going well for you.
Wow - I just hope this is heard by many!! If this is a reflection of the environment in the working world in the US, we are in very serious trouble!
Thank you for addressing this and hopefully making some many needed changes.
Hell yes it is a reflection of AMERICAN SOCIETY IN GENERAL! Many females, such as myself, were burdened with misogynistic fathers from the start. And yes, just to survive, many women have been forced to cope with things that continue to reduce them to boobs and Vaginas! AND UNTIL WE STOP ACCEPTED PUBLIC SEXUALIZATION OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IT WILL NEVER END!
It's most certainly a reflection of the working environment of our guvment and it is TOTALLY unacceptable.
Sen Kennedy is a damn great American
U funny😅😅😅😅😅😅
These people ruined my daughter. She is still troubled and attempting to recover. The government failed to protect her nor take any constructive action to acknowledge the issue. My wife and I both retired from the DOJ and our ashamed of our government agencies.
imagine what they do on deeper levels
The insurmountable level of deplorable irregularities is laughable and appallingly for a governmental body. Pathetic no decency standards??
The young lady behind the senator is staring him down with contempt and disgust. And rightfully so. That creepy old man's clasped together fingers and hunched over posture says it all. Then he doubles down with narcissism by having no accountability, no responsibility, and no apologies.
Yet, he's living a better life than probably anyone reading this comment. But his heart is empty, and he will be lonely after his death on this world.
Somebody please make a video focusing on the face of that young lady behind Kennedy.
Not to mention where he will be placed for eternity.
He reminds me of C. Montgomery Burns, with his mannerisms.
@@knighttoking7926salvation is eternal ~ damnation is not ~ God is Love ☝🏽💛🤙🏽 only YOU can end your own samsara
Thank you, Sandra Kennedy, for at least holding them accountable for what they have not done to help because it was not their problem or their responsibility. It's sad how everything just gets put onto someone else because it's not their job. I remember the day when people would do something because it was the right thing to do.
Doesn’t the board have oversight of the chairman and can vote him off if he doesn’t enforce policies they want.
Mr. Kennedy is right again!
Wow what a bunch of 'it's someone else's responsibility' and 'if we did more research we would have a more accurate answer'. Well maybe if you did that instead of partying. Call my crazy but that's what I heard. $1000 for a cheeseburger a bank listed as a medical emergency on my account once. Boy did I have questions for that bank manager.
Mr Trump, do I have a VP nomination for you!
I love this man!
Apparently these FDIC men that sexually harassed these women have not been given enough work to keep them busy enough to actually work at running the agency correctly. I am a firm believer in the "Peter Principle" - someone being promoted beyond their level of competency seems to fit as part of the department's problem.
Let me get this straight, was Sen Kennedy saying the FDIC acted like they were having frat parties? That reminds me of the Clinton Administration in the 90s, when they reportedly had frat parties in the White House. 😳
So, this guy read the report in 2020. Meaning, he knew of the issues at the FDIC. He, then, becomes the Chairman...and...the behaviors continue. Hmm...I wish my career had afforded me such luxuries.
Thank you for giving us another example of our government in action. Awful, awful.
Look who they have for examples. The resident in chief for example. Thanks again Senator Kennedy!
This is the 'biggest' issue at the FDIC? NOT the $17 TRILLION shortfall in deposit insurance? Huh
We're 33 trillion in debt. They're not fixing that.
If it is all the Chairman's job, why have others on the board?
Yep save the public's money spent on these nonperforming bureaucrats
So what did he do if he has been there since 2005
America needs more like Kennedy. He is a true patriot and he stands for truth justice and the American way. Thank you Kennedy
How SICK…the morals are so LOW IN OUR SOCIETY and this issue is like the disgusting issues in the US Post office back in the 1980s and currently in many city’s, state issues, cities utilities too. Just disgusting
Drain the swamp!
You mean if this were happening to anyone in his own family he would have reached in this way as well? Or a neighbor. This is just sickening knowing and doing nothing about it!! These are the peopke running our state jobs this is low
THANK YOU MR.KENNEDY for bringing this out....
My favorite lady behind Sen. Kennedy ❤
This is the first I've heard of this and it's crazy when the financial nerds are acting up more than Hooters managers.
What is going on at the FDIC is absolutely nothing new in the workplace if you are a woman. Working for 52 years, I have left jobs because of harassment, good jobs. My theory was: Why file a lawsuit? I'm smart enough to find another job and good at what I do. And I wanted to use the current employer as a reference and a lawsuit would destroy that reference. I would say harassment happens in 50% of companies even today.
I destroyed my manager with EEOC complaint. Worth it.
It happens to everyone. I can clearly recall some crazy woman at work going on and on to me about guys with little wieners. I recall thinking What? How on earth did this become a topic. She ranted on about how 3 inches was to small and bla, bla, bla... I have NO clue what got her started or what made her think I wanted to hear any of it or about her sex life or preference. I had liked her as a person before that but after that I avoided her at all costs as clearly she was a total nut bag. I wasn't offended but I sure didn't want to hear about it. I just learned who to avoid and who to limit my conversation to Hi and bye.
Depends on what you consider "harassment."
Good for you senator.. dont take no stuff off nobody.
4:15 "You and your colleagues outta hide your head in a bag".
4:05 is the moment Kennedy decides to use that particular phrase.
Has anybody been fired & jailed in FDIC yet?
Ask the Chairman, seems like he's the only one who can do anything. So why employ all the hangers on also?
Like most Government agencies, the command staff will always go along too get along. When it gets real bad they look for some underlings to throw under the bus.
Horrible actions!!! We are desperate for men that have a moral compass!!!
This is some great great bread and circus material! Thanks for keeping the public entertained away from the madness!
Remember, our govt is always reactive and never proactive, unless there is money for politicians to grab. The govt is the greatest waister of resources anywhere and they are great at it.
Our entire government is reactive. That’s why they support law enforcement more than they do education.
Agree. All they want is lots of money and most are corrupt because of it
Yep! (&) The way to quickly solve the Deficit problem is no one in the top 20% of U.S.Government Heads cannot make more than $1.00 as their ENTIRE Salary! AMEN!!!!!
BRAVO !! keep up the great work John!!
Simply amazing that this guy doesn't take responsibility for anything. It's always someone else's responsibility. So why is he employed then??
Thank you Senator Kennedy!!!!
This is no place for Creepy old Men 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE me some Sen Kennedy. The man knows what he's asking, knows what the answer is supposed to be before he asks the question, then LOVES destroying the lies.
It’s not just with these people. It goes on industry wide.
This garbage has been going on in federal and many state government agencies for decades. Why? Because most government employees are covered under Civil Service regulations--which operate directly to prevent even egregiously awful employees from being easily terminated for blatantly unethical or even illegal workplace behavior. I worked in state government as a manager. Even with meticulous documentation of employee misbehavior, getting a grossly misbehaving employee finally fired would usually involve numerous hearings, grievance hearings, corrective action plans, etc. that could take up to two years before the misbehaving employee would actually get dismissed. The employees knew it and the managers knew it.
Just like the precious Unions do to for their members. Keep bad ones employed
How sick...for everyone and for the businesses
Remember Bill Clinton as Attorney General of Arkansas using state police to bring him office workers, I.E. Paula Jones
When I worked as a young woman back in the 60s sexual harassment was always going on. I worked at an insurance company with 50 agents and was sexually harassed all the time and I couldn't do one thing about it!
Same here. At that time if a woman complained she was labeled as “trouble.” Management didn’t want to deal with it. A woman had to deal with each creep quietly and independently; eventually word got around to leave her alone. I was fortunate to have been successful in my career. I was also fortunate to have been raised in a home where women were treated with respect by their fathers and other male members of the family.
Yeah men should be taught to control their testosterone in case a strong empowered waman gets offended, I'm with you sista.
I filed a complaint with EOCC. It was taken seriously.
Me 2 ladies
You should leave any job where the environment is toxic. Walk and make complaints.
Dont we have more pressing issues that are priority right now? Sick of hearing about trivial crap in court while we have grown up issues going on. WTF
"This is no country for creepy old men" Could be applied to many countries too.
Always someone else’s fault… this is getting tiresome.
Love listening to kennedy.
"No Country For Creepy Old Men"
The sequel everyone wants to see!
Best of the best!! Love senator Kennedy!
Brilliant Senator Kennedy!! The country owes you a debt of gratitude..we are watching..
Apparently work environment is called "Animal House ". How sad !
“No Country for creepy old Men” Damn.
Smoke and mirrors. Always. Nothing is ever resolved
Given this nation's lack of loyalty to the TRUTH, I have no idea if the allegations are 100% or Zero % true or somewhere in between. What I do know for a fact, is women at any time can turn a YES into a NO for any reason and it makes them quite dangerous in the workplace. For men, however we MUST always take a NO to mean NO and STOP to mean STOP. There can be no debate on that fact.
"This is no country for creepy old men!" 😂❤
