I get so sick of seeing these liars getting away with lying to Congress with no consequences
Wish I could upvote this 8 billion times
Me too. 😢
Why is this man not in jail for lying
@@iKnowlestheTruth+I
It's just another episode of the sad badly scripted propagandist reality show of fake contempt and no accountability. The status quo of self enrichment churns on as the rest of the world suffers from their actions. John Kennedy is just part of the cast. Blah blah blah.
The lies are strong in this administration.
biden !!!!and his admiistration have a great deal of experience with lying and Democrart Voters have a great deal in beliving it!
Cuz trumpers hate lies!!!! (Unless it's FOX or trump.)
Diversity and "yes men".
Looks like you proved there’s one right here too.
@adriftadrift3467….boycott is one word the American people don’t know (unfortunately).
That smirk while he's lying speaks volumes.
Dupers delight
I would smirk to if I knew I did not do it.
Yes that's a special kind of evil.
I agree about the smirk. WTH😮
@@Beingstrongwhenitishard too, not to
Senator Kennedy always drops some word gems in his insightful speech. "quoting Socrates in a bar fight". Love this guy! Canadian admirer here.
The most predictable response from a democrat to ANY inquiry... "That was Trump's fault!"
“Unless you peaked in high school you know that money is fungible.”
That’s the best we can expect. Blame trump and ignore their own stupidity.
Democrat playbook rule number 2 but trump.
They would rather blame Trump than take full responsibility of their actions.
@@johnnyrocket9372
Number 1 is?
#1 That’s racist.
@@user-vj2ls8sd6nno Sheeet. Thanks for the obvious. Have you learned they don’t work for The People too?
Affirmative action cabinet member. Smug, self righteous and obtuse.
Yep...diversity is causing most problems everywhere...Boeing, Crime, Violence, etc.
You are not being entirely fair, this man never once said he didn't know. He had an agenda and he was sticking with it no matter what. Affirmative action generates clueless people, this man has a clue, just no interest in openness.
@@jrstf He didn’t say he didn’t know because that is lying. He danced around the subject like he was told to do,because he puts his politics before his Country. He is in that position for that very reason and that’s why he was hired under affirmative action. If he would have been the most qualified candidate he would be an honest honorable man.
& he believes in the tooth fairy
@@Schef61 Ever notice how Kennedy gets these idiots "dancing?"
Obama Jr.. lying through his teeth! Sickening!!
Imagine if they put this much effort into solving the problems in our own country 🤔
They can't. That's why they change to topic and refuse to answer direct questions.
Tell me you're a DEI hire without telling me you're a DEI hire! What a joke this administration is!
Kind of surprised he isn’t wearing a dress and lipstick tbh…
💯%
You may not like him but he seems quite capable. Its getting pitiful. Stop crying dei at every black person you see.
Just bc he disagrees with trump doesn’t mean he’s a DEI hire
@@Rockstarmade224 Yeah it does.
This is another unqualified commissioner in this administration 😱
Hopefully a qualified commissioner will be selected before the end of this administration, not likely but we can hope. FJB
DEI
@@gdholmfirth Exactly...DEI is the problem with everything....Boeing, Crime, Violence, Inequality, etc....the list goes on.
Hussein Obama's Alter boy
Smug and arrogant.
So if fundamentally the money goes no where let's just keep it here and actually use it...fun time is over
This man that is telling lies should be on trial for at least TREASON!
And he should face the penalty for treason. No more f'ing around.
Most times, both side just cannot resist it's appalling.
No disagreeing, but research the requirements for treason. Not just anyone qualifies.
@@JordanKahele
That's absolutely true. Both sides have despicable people in them and aren't to be trusted. The entire U.S. Gov't is very dysfunctional.
However, I'm one of those people that like to find out on my own the actual truth of the matter without bias towards either side. There was a question in a comment further down that asked why are there sanctions against Venezuela and Iran. I really haven't been keeping up with current events but a 3-5 minute search on Google explained it through several reliable sources. Seems legit reasons to sanction both countries.
That's extremely stupid. This guy doesn't make policy, obviously.
The words that strike fear into the hearts of every liberal: "Senator Kennedy from Louisiana is recognized."
Pick up on how Adeyemo says "not a direct payment".
🤝👌💯🇮🇪👊
You can add Hawley to that list.
@@shirleymellen2284I heard that. He sat right there and lied like a good little communist DEI appointee.
Cruz is much worse,
I love Sen Kennedy! He’s a rock for conservative issues.
“The truth is powerless against the smugness of my smirk!”
Jail that liar!
Cuz trumpers hate lies!!!! (Unless it's FOX or trump.)
Trump might when he rules in 2024.
Yeah john needs to be jailed.
can't.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Love him, love him, love him! Go, Senator Kennedy.
The U.S. News report ranked Louisiana in the following categories: crime/corrections, 50; economy, 50; education, 46; fiscal stability, 38; healthcare, 45; infrastructure, 49; natural environment, 49; and opportunity, 48. I can see why you love Kennedy. You must really hate Louisiana
is this guy related to the famous kennedies??...he looks like an escapee from the hills have eyes
MAGA HILLBILLY
He’s is so smug is all his lying!
Give him NOTHING! But a one way ticket to jail!
To hell
He's smiling because he knows he's lying and it's a reaction from that in part. He is too ignorant to really understand what he is doing. You can tell he has been strenuously rehearsed for this meeting. Another unqualified liar from the Biden administration… Or rather qualified But not ability for job.
HE asks questions he already knows the answers,He likes watching them try wiggle out of it.Hes the best.Thankyou Kennedy
More lies. No accountability.
Iran wants to thank Brandon for all his support.
Senator Kennedy brought forth ZERO evidence Iran was getting any money and the witness was not telling the truth.
Brandon Treason 🐀🪤
Obama removed the sanctions to Iran. Biden is just a puppet.
O'Bribem is 100% responsible for the Israeli/Hamas war.
Why should Iran or Venezuela be sanctioned in the first place?
This Guy Responding is ABSOLUTELY a NUT !!!
Rehearsed responses.
If all of the Money is still in the banks, tell them to return the money back to our Treasury
100 years ago he would go straight to prison for lying. Lock that liar up !!
Yeah Kennedy is sure a piece of work
We don't put people in prison for lying. Not in 1924, and not in 2024.
250 years ago he would have been a public display in the town square held in stocks for ridicule.
We don't imprison people for lying. We didn't do that in 1924 either, nor in 1774.
A hundred years ago he would not be a top Treasury Department official sitting before a congressional hearing. Those were the good old days before DEI hires.
I can't thank Louisiana enough for Mr. Kennedy. You have blessed America.
I wish we had Mr Kennedy as an MP in the UK
I ❤ this senator! He's just a good old boy!
all hot air and NOTHING is ever done to those LIARS!!!!
The smug attitude is amazing....
He thinks he’s arrived.. he has a tie and a neat haircut…but he still has a lot of the Street left in him….
He knows that he can lie and get away with it, as long as the administration supports his lies - he can lie with impunity.
Our country is broken.
@@hankwest5662 Not really, LOTS going ON, in the background, that, apparently, you are NOT AWARE of.

I'm so sick of these lying sob's.
What a smug piece of work. This boy isnt old enough to know any better.
I bet he was one of those kids playing with Bidens leg hair in the pool.
Oh they k now what they're doing! Aiding the enemy and bankrupting the country and giving away bases, military armaments and their butts.
Like Obama...he's there because of the color of his skin...nothing else.

My goodness, why don’t these guys get locked up
Senator Kennedy should ask the secretary one simple question do you think you should go to jail for lying to the Senate
Why Dems are soft on crime; they are ALL criminals. And how can you tell THIS guy is lying? His mouth is open.
What lie did he tell
Every question Senator Kennedy said , that’s just not true is where he lied under oath too.
@stevejones5075 watch it again, but this time pay attention to what's being said by the side that hurts your feelings. He explains it
@@Goesinya69 that doesnt answer my question, I already watched the video, seems like nobody knows what is actually being said
What a smug liar.
Yup....Kennedy always has been
@@bigperm3853your true ignorance is showing
@@melissamessmer6544 I promise you I am anything but ignorant. Did you not notice how he blew past the fact the waivers have been in existence since 2018?
@@bigperm3853 I dont know if that is a fact will do some research but suggesting Kennedy is a liar is ignorant and you know it
@@bigperm3853 you appear to be cherry picking
Senator Kennedy is the greatest interrogator in the Senate.
"Sit up straight and wipe that smirk off your face!!!! Someone take him outside and teach him some manners." That's how my Father spoke to me as a boy.... and I admired him tremendously.
Any time I hear a federal employee say, "Let me be very clear here," I know there is a lie coming next.
Anytime I hear government people say “for humanitarian purposes”, my danger antennas go up.
Yeah, Humanitariam definition: The ruler of our country and his/her shills get VERY RICH.
Yeah, and it's for the children👹🤡💩
They may not eat human flesh, maybe just the souls.
Yep it's one of those ' go to' phrases that fill time blind the stupid & run down the clock we all know how it works

All my experience in body language tells me that the deputy Treasury Secretary is a liar every time he opens his mouth.
Trained Marist...Obama's Revolutionary Army

What gives it away, the Eddie Haskell grin and ziggy stardust resemblance??
I wonder if he took classes in LYING, from Obozo???
Another DEI appointee

Soooooooo Much A State Of Completed Denial!!!!!!
Sen Kennedy go get them Sir. You are 100% right on everything.
Why should Iran or Venezuela be sanctioned in the first place?
@@747Cone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@truckermax1 Ahh yes rock solid argument. Bravo
@@747ConeWell, doing a 3-5 minute search on Google, looking at reliable sources, I found out why.
I encourage you to do the same.
707, I've tried to answer your question but for some reason my comments are not showing up.
So I'll try it again. I did some research on those sanctions and Venezuela has serious human rights violations, is allies with Iran, has a corrupt government and several other things. Iran also has serious human rights violations, is constantly trying to further refine nuclear material passed what they need for electricity and I'm sorry, I can't remember the rest. It was a couple hours ago that I looked it up. Anyway, I encourage you to do your own research. What I said here took about 3-5 minutes on Google.
I’m so tired of these liars. The American people are seeing this and waking up.
Not as quickly as we like, they watch CNN and MSNBC and believe the lies of the left
it doesnt matter who is waking up. as long as the vote counters are corrupt, nothing will change. Trump could get 99% of the votes, but he will not be allowed to take office. Grow up
I love Sen. KENNEDY!
If I had a sit across from Senator Kennedy and answer his questions, I would have a box of tissue to my left and a box of Pampers to my right.
“DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE TOOTH FAIRY”!!! Thank You Senator John Kennedy!! Thank You!!
LMFAO!!! 😅😅😅😅😂😂..DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE EASTER BUNNY!!!!💀💀💀

The smug face of corruption, immorality and stupidity. What a certain type of person will accept for a fat salary and a comfortable, secure life style.
Absolutely true, yet it's a , but but you know, he's blaack
I see it every day on TV, the whole Republicans party. What is they getting paid for. Taking vacations solving no governing policies for the people who sent them there.
@@SirIvan1690and look to those countries run by exactly these individuals. That's what you get all over the world when you give them power.
There are thousands of them here.
Every city, town, state and govt employee that isn’t in their position SIMPLY to serve America is there serving their OWN selfish interests and the interests of those who own them and put them there.
Equity hire
Being a Louisianan I am so proud to have Senator Kennedy for Louisiana. I wish I could magically take 20 years off of him so he would be our Senator or more even longer. There’s not enough like Senator Kennedy, Cruz, Paul, Josh Dawley and more I’m discovering here daily. Seems too me that they’re trying their best to look out for our countries best interests. I believe some of these men would be far better Commanders in Chief than what we definitely have now or maybe some from times past. God Bless the USA 🇺🇸
I’d love to see him in Trumps cabinet, but feel he is most valuable in the Senate to keep being a thorn in the sides of these idiots running for jobs they are totally unqualified for!
Ask him to PROVE IT WITH A BANK STATEMENT FROM THAT QUATAR BANK! HOW HARD IS IT TO VERIFY, REALLY?
WTH do they find these people? Thank you Senator Kennedy for exposing these ignorant people
Obviously, you just have to be able to check some boxes. Qualifications aren't considered. You could say Didn't Earn It.
They are pushed thru college. That’s the reason affirmative action was invented.
in a very deep swamp
Harvard and Yale…
Walmart, the DMV, footlocker.... McDonald's Manager is a very strong resume.
another DEI 🤮🤮🤮
DEI Didn’t Earn It.
Division, Exclusion, Intolerance? Seems to be a successful program...
This is like trying to get through a call tree to a real person. "REPRESENTATIVE!!!"
"We're sorry, we need more information before we forward you to the right person."
The corruption is so deep and dishonesty unbelievable 😳
I have the upmost RESPECT FOR SENATOR KENNEDY 👏 🙏 🙌
A senator who has never written a bill or even sponsored one. Just collected a paycheck for years.
Why? Sen Kennedy LIES more than Criminal Trump.
He doesn't represent the American people. He is a foreign agent for the Israeli war criminals.
I love Kennedy!!❤..he's brilliant!!

Just say it I know you want to
@@spokentruth5909 Say what?
The lesson here is: Don't try to pull the wool over Kennedy's eyes.
Unless the topic is Abortion, Gun Control, or Fossil Fuels.
No accountability
I believe I speak for Millions here...
NO MORE TALKING, #JAILNOW
I assume this man is under oath? If so, he should be cited for lying under oath!
There are none so blind as those who REFUSE to see. Integrity has never been a part of this current Administration and never will.
How I feel about The Biden supporters.
They all lie for the empty suit Biden
Accountability? In the US goobermint? 🤣🤣
IMO Integrity has been missing for a lot longer than this administration - A LOT longer sadly.

All the lying about treasonous actions will NEVER stop, until accountability occurs. PERIOD!
He just called him a liar and he didn’t get upset. He’s lying.
It's called 'decorum'
He was being professional
@@Rockstarmade224 Professional liar. Professional used to be a word bonded with truth and honor. Now the Dems think lying is Professional.
Every act they do marches toward straight up evil. The constitution is about doing good, and they literally go the opposite way.
Professional liar. So Biden.
I do admire this wonderful human being! Senator Kennedy.. a giant among dwarfs! Best wishes from Germany!
"The problem you folks have is, you want to quote Socrates in the middle of a bar fight!" GOLDEN!!!!

Why? He is doing what he can defending the indefensible. It's not like he created the policies.
I dunno he seems ok. Just not able to defend trash admin. It’s kinda hard.

I want to know why we gave Iraq, Iran, or any country US taxpayers money. It should all be spent in the US and not in other countries. 6 billion for ransom on 5 people. 1st I thought we didn’t negotiate with terrorist and 2nd that’s not a good deal anyway and invites more hostage taking.
This Administration has spent untold Trillions of dollars and yet our lives are worse off.
@@russellh8702 100% agree Russell, the scary part is what they haven't told us about.
Money is going everywhere except back into American taxpayer's wallets.
The US has given about $300 billion to Israel over the decades. Lets start by ending the "Money for Jews" annuity to Israel
LORD HAVE MERCY,MAY GOD HELP US before it’s too late!!!
All these questions to these liars and nothing comes of anything! It’s like watching a reality TV show…all drama, no substance!
They have no way of controlling that money
Affirmative Action at its best.
Exactly. Straight from the bush.
Can never answer a question directly... what a joke.
Why aren’t these guys held for contempt and hostile witnesses-why don’t they answer yes and no questions?
Treasury is not our friend, nor do they think they work for the citizens.
Are THESE LIARS, facing a TREASON CHARGE? I sure as heck, hope so...
This is the reason why I say no to affirmative action.
One brilliant man we need him in Australia urgently!
My oh my.
This boy has been conditioned to lie without blinking a eye
wow!! iran does all these negotiations for billions of dollars and doesn't touch the money and leaves it in other countries!!!
That guy will be on the your fired list.
ASAP
You should take action against this.
Where did this guy come from..... You're not kidding when you say the swamp is deep.
I’m so sick of all this.
Don't let them do that. They are all vampires.
Then do something about it
I ADMIRE Sen. John Kennedy - PLEASE DON'T STOP
Senator Kennedy . I'm glad you call them on their shit! Impressed with your persuit on the truth! I'm sick of the liars and the excuses too!
Come and visit South Africa.
Come and see the direction your country is headed in.
The American people really need to get off of their phones and wake up before all is lost for their future generations
Affirmative action is strong with this one.
"That money is still in this place over which we have no oversight or control, and we asked them super nicely to pinky swear that they would use that for humanitarian purposes."
