I'm glad they can laugh. The rest of us are crying.
Please-stop over-reacting. The infrastructure has been crumbling for decades. It HAS to be fixed. You know it so does everyone else.
We need war heros running this country not these weaklings
They're in their own world...their own private club. It's just a big game to them. BTW...Tillis of NC is a pure idiot.
@@vonakenyon7981 Then maybe they should spend more than 9% of the Infrastructure budget on Infrastructure …instead of spending it on DNC pork partisan policies.
@@vonakenyon7981 only 23% goes to structural infrastructure. The rest is pork spending and special interest social programs.
John Kennedy can be hilarious, love his sense of humor, and he is such an intelligent man.
If you did a comparison between him and the REAL John F Kennedy he would come off as pathetic. He doesn't care about the American people-simple as that.
Like JFK
@@vonakenyon7981 apples oranges? WTH? He cares very much about the American people and he is old enough to remember JFK. JFK would have loved him .There are many Kennedys in the US you know. You just being tacky and catty.
Love Sen. Kennedy.
@@suzanneflowers2230 me too and he is brilliant.
It's one big club and you ain't in it...-George Carlin
Damn right !!!
AMEN
It is nice that they can laugh while spending the resources of our grandchildren and future generations of America.
Right back to Ronny Ray-gun.
Stop it! Trump in office. Cut the tax rate for the wealthy. Were you worried about your grandchildren and future generations then? Raise the tax on the wealthy to pay for the budget. Republicans do not want to do that so save your rhetoric.
@@stacywacy4995 Trump cut the tax rate for everyone numbnuts. Raising or lowering taxes doesn't matter if they keep expanding spending anyway. All that does is make you feel better about yourself.
@@stacywacy4995 oh stop it how you like high gas prices and high inflation prices on food. Stop being stupid Biden is begging other countries to produce fuel for the America now that he has made the US dependent on other countries stop being stupid damn
agree and there getting richer
I love senator Kennedy he has everyone in his back pocket because he knows he's smarter than everybody else in the room.
He's been around so long he has dirt on all of them...
@@scott3708 hes literally been one the senate for barely one term
Love this man's smarts and sharp sense of humor.
Everyone is happy now that they have stuffed their pockets full of tax money.
Exactly
That's what's really infuriating. These politicians may have different beliefs but they're pretty much the same when it comes to money. We need term limits.
I love Senator Kennedy. He's as real as it gets.
Flopping like a catfish! Best quote ever
Si ! un real payaso de lo verdad chica !🤡👾
You must be kidding. That good old boy routine is so fake it stinks. He went to Oxford for gods sake.
@@vonakenyon7981 He could have went to Harvard or Yale ! It don't mean merdeux . In lousyana it is what it is . The payaso is still a cheap punk lookin' for that lost fishin' hole . If you love him so much send him all your money and become its slave . LOL ! 🤡💩🐿🍍🍆🍜🍼🍭🍠
He reminds me of the slow talking Southern lawyer of old movies.
The lady behind him is smiling. She knows shit is about to go down lol.
Remember how they cowered on the floor in the Capitol. Now they are laughing again.
We need another day of fear instilling in them till they feel it in their bones. While they tremble in fear we good.
For the feaux inserection?? 😉
@@enderesssam2616truth
Senator Kennedy is a "gem of a person".
He is a honest politician , no bull from him just straight talk.
we need more men like him to dedicate their time serving the public..As for those RINO's..we need to get rid of those traitors as soon as possible to save the republic.
@@michaellovetere8033 yeah, get rid of all of them.
@@voxveritas333 yes..start with McConnell and Kisinger..Lizard Chaney is through in Wyoming
That's what America is all about. Agree to disagree; then disagree vehemently; then be cordial. Thanks, Sen. John Kennedy.
Sen John Kennedy the "Columbo" of Sen. Hearings.
If Columbo were a complete fake maybe. Kennedy should be ashamed to use that name. His good old boy routine is fake. He went to Oxford for gods sake
I always hated Columbo and his smugness. I rooted for the bad guy (the good guy).
I love this guy. He's like that old grandpa that just says whatever pops into his head.
That would be mildly amusing if it was at a family dinner and I was stoned, but that's not the situation, is it?
@@davidward9282 Unlike you, apparently, I do not need to be stoned to be amused by the antics of the elderly.
All fun and games when none of the shit you do effects you
😂😂😂Spot on!👍
.
The word is "affects", and we can do w/o your toilet language.
Senator Kennedy. Deceptively brilliant, skillfully disarming, and confidently composed. It is men such as this Senator who breach petty politics to unify us with common sense, common cause, laced with a smidgen of levity that hold the promise of America's future in their hands.
His style reminds me of the southern lawyer played with such skill by Angry Griffith.
Well said my man
Well written, well 'said'.
It's Patriots like you who will have a place in the end result of the 'massive correction' that is coming.
The 2022 elections are nothing when compared to the 2024 elections.
Red pills are selling out.
But... they're made in America, that means they're plentiful and NOT stuck on one of Biden's freighters off of our shores.
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!!
Ok that's just a whole bunch of BS you scripted there. He's a phony who puts on his fake southern accent but he's actually a northerner. Nice try, RINO.
@@steftrando a quick google search would tell you he was born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana. Last I checked neither of those states are commonly considered northern states.
Wonder if they treat their own checkbooks such nonchalantly.
They're rich because they don't spend their money. They spend ours.
Senator Kennedy is the best. So hilarious.
I love this man him and Rand Paul for President and Vice President
@zappafan11 cannot disagree with you there. Not saying you're right but can't disagree
@Strat Abuser who are the turds and the other people with the leash around their neck? Not quite comprehending what you're saying I may not be smart enough
@zappafan11 Trump Owens would be a great choice
I can homestead. I don't need any of these jokers.
@LOST you really think a lot without having any evidence to back it up. I wish I had an imagination like yours
He is a combination of Andy Taylor and Matlock!🤣
Perfect description lol
@@Thejoeordinary1 /hqqk I
Very true!!!
Love Kennedy…..his sarcasm and witty humor is awesome. He’s also brilliant!
I love listening to him he is definitely funny.
Someone needs to make a montage of his funniest comments.
Could you imagine, if the was Saturday night live !
He's as sharp as a tack! Love it!
Must be nice to laugh after allowing over 5 trillion of pork spending to be passed between the Infrastructure and Budget Bills. Both my state senators from NC voted for I am ashamed to say.
We Tar Heels need new US Senators for sure.
I bet if we had an audit here in N.C. We would probably find out that NONE of the officials in our state were actually elected in 👀
You know what to do when the time comes
Our Senators in NC are Rino liars
Vote out anyone who voted for this pork bill
I like the character of Senator John Kennedy. He should run for president.
No. He should be Senate Majority Leader.
He sure seems to be a hard working Senator, with an uncanny way of communicating in a light and airy way. I like him for sure. THAT does not make for a good US President though. We need someone with a voice to say NO MEANS NO and one who can speak up without all the "politically correct" b.s. So, no, it would be a waste of his time and money to run for POTUS.
Kennedy is a clown!
@@georgeboyan5030 If he were a clown, he would have to be a Democrat.
Reminds me of grampa munster. No reflection on his character, just his appearance.
"Chortle chortle chortle" Keep in mind, none of them have missed a paycheck or a meal probably ever. If they really cared about the American people, they'd all resign.
Always sowing hate for leaders. You're the problem in America. No allegiance.
It seems some have been eating for free (EBT). Also collecting free money (unemployment) and free rent. Now I've missed many meals because I actually work and HAVE to make ends meet. Your opinion is strictly one-sided.
Right- They give less than a rat's ass about us. I could list all the republicans who are an embarrassment to their party but so can you. Dumph has ruined the GQP and by backing him and his Big Lie they have destroyed themselves. They will NEVER be back in power.
@@Dapper422 I only see public servants. The government serves the leadership, which is supposed to be the people. You'd rather be loyal to a few hundred corrupt rich people than 330 million neighbors.
@@Dapper422 Leaders?!?! They're supposed to represent US. Do you think they have allegiance to you? Or maybe it's just their own wallets?
Senator from Oregon, where they just past a bill to eliminate basic reading, basic writing and basic math scores for high school graduates--- congratulations America-- you are the next third world country in line 🤫
Take note..their kids or grandkids will go to a private school.. they will allow your kids to go to failing schools so it's less competition in the future..wink
@@jamesbranham2217 you're right, then everyone complains because silicon Valley is hiring more exchange students from other countries then Americans
@@raymondmenendez6499 right these schools will indoctrinate but not educate.. it's time for school vouchers
On a plane a few years back Out of Dubai…. I did see but none other than the Vampire looking senator from Oregon. He was sitting up front business I assume and his wife (a young thing) was in middle class seating. They met in the isle and what did I see as they stood in the isle in middle class ???? That vampire ..He placed his hand on the middle of his wife’s chest and kept it their for their meet-up. Should have had my cell phone ready…. As I live and breath this was true….he was too cheap to buy an upgrade for the wifey….Or too proud to sit with we the middle class peasants. But gave us a soft porn show… not at all what a person wants to remember. But I did. Cause I am a conservative patriot from Central Oregon.
Oh voting to dumb down students? Wow
We have the greatest Senator ever ♥️
“Urinate or get off the pot” 😂
***Senator John Kennedy 2019
you are right,hes great
he's my guilty pleasure.
Sadly Cassidy is a RINO. Hope he is voted out soon.
Scalise could take notes, both could be more active for their Great State. Can't help adoring Kennedy's quick quips.😍
Such, a brilliant and sharp mind person , who is also a true Patriot , and fearless Leader. Love this guy 🇺🇸 and his character. Fun to watch the awesome senator. 🇺🇲 Kennedy , we love you.
He's a boil on America's hass.
Fearless leader? These are the same guys and gals that were running like children behind the Secret Service details whining about insurrectionist but were letting antifa burn shit down for a year that wasn't near them yeah that's real Fearless
I love John Kennedy, the sky could be falling, and I would still be laughing at his jokes.
Lucky you, after that Brandon speech today it is indeed falling on all of us.
Spending other people's money is usually a good time. Case in point.
It's something BOTH PARTIES agree on
Tillis has got to go I am from NC and I will vote him out of office.
Same here I expected more from both him and Burr
Dido, I don't usually contribute to primaries for Senate but who ever runs against them I will contribute to.
This man needs to run for President. Intelligent, funny and calls it like it is. He calls BS when he sees or hears it. No one can outwit him.
He'd make a great President!!
Loved the one when he asked judge Barrett during her confirmation for Supreme Court if she liked puppies
He did?🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Truly, a no nonsense senator that can evaluate a situation very quickly.
its just trillions!! they're fine
Maybe the Video poster can tell us viewers / watchers what Sen. Kennedy of LA. was referring to when he mentioned "Senator Tillis". Unless someone was in the chamber that hour, this video makes no sense.
The Door looks a bit impaired.....
"I love Watching John Kennedy on TV".
This guy is awesome
If Kennedy were any more folksy he’d be wearing overalls with only one strap intact! Gotta love him!
Ignorance is bliss . Can't fix stupid . lousiana is da' best banana republic anywhere . Sherriff Andy needs to put in Mayberry jail with drunk Otis ! LOL !!!
Love him

I believe Sen Kennedy is the only politician with Common Sense. Archie Bunker approved!!!
Senator Kennedy is hilarious! And bold! I love that!
Don't fall for that 'good ole boy' routine. It is just an act. Check the official record. No one has worked harder to cut taxes for the rich and stick it to the poor.

So smart and funny. Blessings mr kennedy
Palpatine needed one of two things to control the galaxy:
1. The Bureaucracy.
Or 2. Super weapon. Our bureaucracy is so bloated, it must be vanquished with local governments.
Good point!👍🇺🇸
@@steveyoung9271 wake up.
@@steveyoung9271 watch "Idoicracy" on youtube for free if you think movies are meaningless.
And the plandemic is the weapon
I lived for years in a country that did not have a bloated bureaucracy. It took days to get a driver's license, unless you were willing to bribe the bureaucrat and his boss. Then, it took less than an hour. They weren't necessarily corrupt. Just over worked.
Yeah it's hard work trying to steal money when there's people watching !!
The Dems don't care who's watching. They do it anyway. That's what dictators do. And there are many in that party.
@@graywill8983 it's time for a million man march in DC.
Love this man what a good scence of humor.
This man is fascinating to listen to . He is EXTremly Smart. Gotta love him. A refreshing change to hear and see someone of his stature and intelligence speak up plus a great scence of humor. Thank you Sir
I know your from Louisiana but if you ever decide to move
We will welcome you with open arms in Texas.
FLORIDA TOO!!
That's nice. They put the country in way more debt and its funny. Must be nice to spend money that is not yours on anything you like without responsibility. Politicians are not for the people they are for themselves.
The DC Politicians work for the corporation. They are a Board of Directors. Whenever you are ready, you have it within your power to claim your birthrights and come join those of us who already have do so in our efforts to restore our true Republic ... you know, that branch of government for and by the people. The branch that oversees the corporate branches: our employees. Sadly, our branch of government has lain in limbo for about 160 years, until recently. Thankfully, enough alert Americans realized this travesty and took the necessary steps to restore what the original post Civil War Restoration process failed to address way back when. To date, all 50 states are now assembled and we are re-peopling our true and lawful government and we are restoring our Common Law Courts. Take a stand for your country and join your state assembly! tasa.americanstatenationals.org/
Kennedy is the most hilarious senator I have ever seen, he cracks me up all the time and he's not my senator
And he is a real, actual conservative.
We here in Louisiana are very lucky & Proud to have Senator Kennedy to represent us; wish we had more like him fighting for us & America!
“Look If you hate cops just because they’re cops, next time you get in trouble call a crackhead”-Sen. John Kennedy
Prohibiting any changes to tax treatment of “like/kind” transactions. It helps small real estate investors. Thank you.
Yes is the only sane man there who has a brain, and is polite and smart. He did not want the Infrastructure passed, and it was not a good move to have for us taxpayers !
Love your humor Senator Kennedy. You R great.
I say we start with taxing all who voted for the bill. Nancy Pelosi, Schumer all of the politicians and family members who profited.
Our other senator from Louisiana is the "RINO" Bill "I am an ass" Cassidy....
You obviously don't understand the meaning of the phrase rino. Don't just repeat things you've heard someone say. The entire MAGAT wing of the republican party are rinos.
@@vimes3702 I understand completely what a "Rino" is (Rhino was a mistype on my part). I stay up to date on what is happening in politics. In fact I have forgotten more about politics than you will ever know. I have worked for years in my states government and believe me, both sides are evil.....
@@alsmith7392 true, you obviously have forgotten alot of politics
@@vimes3702 No sir. You obviously have a comprehension problem. I was insulting your intelligence on this subject. You don't want to keep this going do you? Stop now, your embarrassing yourself...
I love Kennedy, so smart and sassy!
Laugh ing always good medicine
The funniest Senator hands down. It's just how he is, he can't help it.
Kennedy is one of the few senators that still have some honor left in him. Funny guy.
HAHAHAHAAA It's so funny! I love paying more for everything! It always makes me laugh
When i was in high energy plasma research we had a guy who talked like the senator. New engineers thought he was a step behind but then he would ask a question in their research and the light bulb would go off in their head. He was the smartest physicist and funnest good old boy i ever met. A great leader
It is so nice to know that a bunch of lifetime, career criminals can have a sense of humor too.
He’s the best!!! Love him 💘
They are the same animal!
Kennedy's sense of humor reminds me of Old School Bob Newhart.
Another national treasure.
Sen. KENNEDY is one of the best ones he tells it like it is !!! Love him. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!
Great news Mike has full Forensic image of 2020 elect... Must see the symposium on frank speech live now
I've watched him and he still has nothing to offer. Why isn't something being done with all his reports?
Is that the 'my pillow' lunatic? I swear he and Sydney Powell should get married each is crazier than the other. I loved the "proof" he thought would put 45 back in the WH. Trust me the only way that dimwit will ever be in the White House again will be taking the paid tour.

Career politician's for you, I'm glad they find time for amusement as the country falls apart thanks to their corrupt policies!!!!!!!
JK is a good man sincere and a patriot. Let’s go Brandon until dumb Joe is history. FJB
"Check on Senator Tillis........." I must be daft, but I don't get any joke there.
They need to dump the voice vote. It's the only way to keep track of who voted how.
Been reading about SOooooo MANY NEEDS since Biden slipped in through the back door. ALL of the founding documents, e.g., beginning with the Mayflower Compact were apparently not enough to establish a Republican Form of Government. NO, what we NEED is HONEST CARING PEOPLE WITH CHARACTER!!
I want that job , seems like they have a fun and they are well paid for that.
I could listen to him all day. 🤣🤣
That was a nothing burger, except that it is nauseating to watch these rich fools ruin our lives with such frivolity.
All of them need relieved of their duties.
I would love to laugh but there is too much hardship out here. I used to have a great sense of humor. I lost my job due to Covid. Now I have to have urgent back surgery and I have no insurance and no income. It’s been almost a year that I was laid off. Unemployment is gone, I applied for everything I can find but nothing seems to be happening as I get further and further behind on bills. I love working and feeling needed even if it’s a small job. I have a BA degree with honors but that doesn’t matter anymore. So many of us are in free fall and see this man whom we pay $174,000/year and give him comprehensive health insurance for life! Does he deserve it? Has he and all the other members of congress earned it? We are out here and nothing is funny right now.
Nice carpeting. We paid for it.
Yes, nice furnishings we bought especially the polished mahogany woodwork, while we use a bare piece of plywood for a table at home.
Tillis and Burr are a huge disappointment to most all in North Carolina
Why are we giving money to foreign countries? Why are we giving money to countries in S. america? Why??
The worst thing is they know we will see them laughing
It's like where not probable. They don't care what we think.
He said it was a 15 hour session what's wrong with them also being just having a chuckle? We dont have to like them but they still deserve to be treated like they are normal people.
Ron Wyden missed his calling to play Dracula
Yes, our senator representing Salem and Portland......
ERUPT ????
I have told you a TRILLION times not to exagérate
CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING WHAT I CALL A GRAVY JOB/WALK AROUND IN A SUITE /MAKE ALL KINDS OF MONEY WHILE SPENDING OTHER PEOPLES MONEY-ONLY A SELECT FEW I GUESS
He reminds me of my 8th grade TX history teacher. That twang and everything. Was quite an intimidating individual, but the end of the day? Was the kindest person you'd ever meet.
What are the congress voting on now , if not the stimulus checks ? The low income & us that are on SOCIAL can't hardly make it. Why will they not do the stimulus checks for people who are low income ??? They did it for the families & the unemployment people & their kids !!!! But, they left out social security & they Left out the elderly & ones who really need the stimulus checks !!! Please help the people in need.
.
You recieved two stimulus checks so far. What are you complaining about?
JK is a good man. Totally respect his sincerity and Is a patriot. FJB
Let’s go Brandon until dumb Joe’s gone
Its nice to watched session like this everyone is happy Esp. Sen.Kennedy .
Well - I know these guys are always hard at work - God bless ‘em all 👋🏼
According to this heree video.All. I. Got. To. Say. Is. I. Just. 💕 💕. Love. Senator. Mr. John. Kennedy mush. Love. For. U. Yesss. Indeed 💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
Tom Tillis and Roy Cooper are north Carolina's version of dumb and dumber 🤦♂️
Cooper is the worse
Me thinks you give them too much credit. We have two more, of less than equal stature. We got "Sorosed" a short while back.
I love Mr. Kennedy some levity much needed in Congress!.❣👏👏👏
What I'd give to share a brew with this man! ♡
Senator Kennedy is more effective at comedy than lawmaking.
TG for Ted Kennedy. He knows B.S. when he hears it and he lets them know where the bear shik in the buck wheat.
you cant even get his name right....
He is hilarious. Love this guy!
Glad you are all having a great time.smh High laughs at my house while we figure out how to apply for foodstamps.You make me sick!
Here is one Kennedy in the Senate who can drive a car OVER a bridge
He can just say the word Biden and people lay down in the floor to laugh.
We must have to & keep Biden in office or ? Do you want Camel Toe or Nasty Nancy in charge? Atleast now nobody listened to him in his own little world with Alice in Wonderland.
I'm so happy everyone is so lighthearted while they spend our money like drunken sailors. I hope my children and grandchildren can fine levity as they pay for this nonsense.
Make American great again
Yay! It’s nice to know that they are not going to mess with like-kind exchanges. Much better for the economy!
