Senator Kennedy has a nice way of being BRUTAL !
It's a gift I do not have although I wish I did
And I love it
Sen. Kennedy is a talented attorney. Watching him grill a witness is a lesson in cross examination technique.
"Do you believe in the tooth fairy"? 😂😂
He's such a gentleman about eviscerating someone, they still want to have po'boys with him and pay.
my worse nightmare is being an asshole and having sen. kennedy interrogate me.
Trey Gowdy...
This deserves more likes
...he's good at using alligator bait.
"You have a history of lying to people dont you?" LOL
Fabulous reply. I'm still laughing.
Wake me up when ANY of these demons are held accountable
Enter the Lord God of Israel.
Amen!
The only thing that can offer me some kind of solace listening to these idiots is that I know that everything is in Christ's hands.
I pray that you don't suffer that kind of coma. These demons will never be held accountable for anything my friend.
If he wasn’t notified about the complaint then what did he think was the reason he was removed from the case? Two things I can’t abide: thieves and liars.
Yeah, I could understand if no action was taken that he may not of been in formed. But a action was taken, he was removed, he would of definitely about that and that it was because of a complaint, I could even understand if he said that he stood by his belief that he had not done wrong, but that he was removed from the case for appearances sake, but either way in this case he would of known about the complaint, plain and simple
This guy is unfit to be a judge!!!
lol, unless you live on Mars you would know he's perfect for what they are doing.
He’s unfit.
This IS the Deep State
He is unfit.
He's unfit to be human lol
He’s a lying political activist.
Every single senator and congressman is corrupt to one degree or another, so no surprise there. Kennedy and his family are master liars going way, way back.
He looks like a cartoon villain
john spoke like a new yorker... right up until he needed a political boost..
then he magically became a bumpkin.... just like y'all
@@ThereIsNeverEnoughI guess you've never listened to Kamala when she speaks to a group of blacks. 😅 Her fake ebonics seem to amazingly appear. By the way "y'all" is a word.
Commie!
Does Senator Kennedy ever rest ? He and his go-get-'em staff are PRICELESS !
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS MAN.
Wake up!
I as an Australian adore him wish he was here bless him 🙏🏻
Kennedy is working for Trump. Not guilty for sure trying to safe his life.
Whoever nominated this nominee should be immediately removed from office
Joe biden and his 40 thieves convinced me to vote for D TRUMP!
You knkw it was the "establishment" Uncle Sniffer
Biden
Agreed
Of course durbin drops to his knees he is one of the lowdown most corrupt I've ever seen
HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH
You love a guy who constantly lies to push an agenda that doesnt exist?
How does filth get re-elected ? Mail in ballots
He has been to the freak off parties in DC.
The repubs get on their knees to please the orange conman.
Nothing ever happens when they lie under oath.
Only if your a baseball player accused of using steriods.
Congress can't arrest them. you have to ask Director Chris Wray to step up and take action.
Only Republicans are prosecuted for lying under oath.
Never ever.
It's America. Do u expect honor and truth? Dems run it. Lol
As someone Born in TN,, WHO LOVES THE STATE ABOVE ALL OTHERS,,,Im TERRIBLY EMBARRASED OF HIM!!
WE NEED 100 SENATORS IN CONGRESS LIKE JOHN KENNEDY!
You are 100% right !
When is Kennedy going to come clean about supporting Russia over the USA?
Durban, the Committee Chairman, confirms it is not unusual for complaints to never move forward and therefore the nominee would not have been made aware of the complaint. The nominee swore to tell the truth. If Kennedy had proof the nominee was lying WHY DIDN’T HE BRING IT? It’s because he Doesn’t have proof! Kennedy is nothing but a clown acting as a goofball in front of cameras. He is wasting taxpayers money and the time of the senate. When there is so much important business the Senate has to conduct, it is just pitiful the country has to suffer clowns like this hiding behind the cloak of the senate.. Go back to Louisiana and start calling people liars, without any proof. You’d learn some real world lessons pretty quick.
Well, I suppose you could argue we need 99 like him.....
Where does the White House come up with these people? Are they TRYING to find the least qualified people there are? IT’S INSANE!
Geoge Soros thinks they're the best...and that's all that matters.
That is EXACTLY the case, from all appearances.
The most corrupt
No, they're trying to get radical liberal activists in these courts.
@@jameshayden3952Soros and his CCP associates.
I could listen to Senator Kennedy all day.
Just watch the Andy Griffith Show
@@go4it129funny that those values are better than what we have now
@@user-kt3bl9ue3l I think you missed the point of my comment
Ditto
me too.
Why do they not go to JAIL for lying under oath
Not inside a court of law. This is different. Look it up.
Kevin Gafford Ritz did not lie under oath. The compartmentalization and other truth that Kevin omitted, that would otherwise make it plain as day ratting out Wall Street financial terrorism shenanigans that likely gets him suicided and shit, reveal that he is actually not lying, John Kennedy is failing to reveal that blatantly obvious connectable dot whether he is genuinely that incompetent and complacent or if he is pretending to be dumber than he really is, regardless, it's his own mistake-based ridiculousness that he should not be in that position to represent such ridiculous shortcoming in positions that require not to be so incompetent and complacent.
They will soon face justice
@@davidcapps3757do u mean morally or LITERALLY
Tennessee should be embarrassed of him.
He must be from Cohen's district, no?
These are the crooks we have in the justice department.
Yep. The worst crimes in USA are perpetuated by Washington DOJ
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!!!!....And there are MANY MANY MORE!!!
If you cannot speak from education or experience, why are you speaking?
If you cannot speak from education or experience, why are you speaking?
@@dh5380Why are you repeating yourself? In fact, considering your comment, why are you speaking?
Lying under oath is a joke. There's no repercussions.........EVER. What's the point of swearing someone in ? The whole thing is a joke.
Mr Ritz is a liberal , do you really think a liberal lying to the US Congress will ever be held accountable ? Especially since the Chairman of the Judiciary Dick Durbin is a liberal !
Well for the left there is none.
not really, its only a joke for public officials. if you or I do it its bad.
No repercussion IF you’re a (D)emocrat or hate Trump
If you're lying today we're stuck with ya aren't we.....clear case of America being a joke when it comes to a politics
Love Senator Kennedy! He does his homework. He already knows the answer before he asks the question!
John Kennedy, is a rock ⭐️
In capital letters!
ROCK!
A liar is a liar is a liar…
Absolutely, and John Kennedy is one of the worst liars in Washington
Clearly you must be talking about Trump, right? 😂
@@JJM_PNWmore like Joe Biden the king of liars
The filth rises to the top in liberal circles.
@@jameshayden3952 yeah because passing legislation that helps the poor and middleclass is filth. You have no clue what your talking about and still get your information from a source that paid 787 million for lying to its viewers.
What a liar! It's all on paper!
If the Senate has actual evidence? You can't lie under oath. That's how you are prosecuted for perjury and put in prison.
I know that whenever I see a Country's flag behind someone who's speaking, I automatically assume they are speaking on behalf of that entire Country. Surely it makes perfect sense that he would remove his state's flag for the same reason. After all, these democrat activists continually show that they are only interested in doing what's right in the most unbiased and non-politically motivated way possible. I have to stop there or else I'll exceed my sarcasm limit for the month.
Sen Durbin again defends his friends being exposed. When is it his turn?? 😮😮
How that guy ever survived grade school without being punched into total submission is a mystery to me.
He was the bully. There are a lot of ways to be a bully…
Durbin needs to be recalled, censured, expelled
Richard Cranium Durbin
I agree!
He is as much of an a-hole as Raskin and Nadler.
The worst sort of Biden activist
NO THAT WAS goebbels
@@KeithGan-wn2ogSame thing.
Durbin gargles with Biden’s spermatozoa.
How any of these individuals has the gall to come before these committees and suffer the grilling the GOP members of the committee make against them, is truly a wonder ! Wonder how they can live with themselves after the truth is brought forward about their personal and professional actions and beliefs. It is truly a wonder.
@@mtweiss01 LMFAO!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
How do you forget being removed from the case
I love you mr Kennedy. you kick butt ,thank you!!!!
Senator Kennedy is a National Treasure
Who votes to send Ukraine our tax dollars...
Indeed.
@@danporter2345Soundbite Senator
He’s a joke. Nowhere near a national treasure.
What a deplorable person. Thank you Sen. for exposing him.
👏
You fool..... if you lie on legal proceedings, jail
This one big show for brainless people....Nothing changes, criminals stay in power, corruption keeps growing
#WeTheSheeple
So what....nothing changes 😂
😊😊😊😊why
@@Greg-ox6ci And that makes you happy?
This is a perfect example of a spineless jellyfish 😂 Go Senator Kennedy a TRUE American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank Goodness for You Mr Kennedy! You’re Awesome! I love hearing You Speak for WE THE PEOPLE!!!!
Durbin is asking everyone to believe Ritz was removed from the case and the plea agreement reversed and he just went about his day as normal.
😂😂😂😂
Put perfectly. Was going to say virtually the exact same thing until I saw your comment.
If you are a judge and you are REMOVED from a case, you're damn sure going to know (or find out) why...and if you don't, why wouldn't you find out? Take hundreds of other professions and it would be similar.
So, either he is lying through his teeth under oath or he is so aloof to his job that he does not have the moral bearing to qualify as a judge. Based upon his previous statement(s), it seems clear he wants to change society to his ideology through rulings from the bench...and he is willing to lie UNDER OATH to do so. As such, he should've NEVER even been a judge.
Durbin's a big part of the problems we have nowadays.
I bet Dicky Durbin won't go near a window in a lighting storm.
🤣🤣🤣
Kennedy should ask Durbin if he would be willing to repeat that claim under oath.
Draws a paycheck from the state of TN, but won't have the flag in office.....he's an "Activist"
He certainly did. An affront to us voters in Tn.
I agree as a public school kid Tennesseean.
Love Love Love - KENNEDY.....he is brilliant - PERIOD!!!!
"I don't recall" should not be allowed in these hearings
No way he did not know!! He was REPLACED by a new counsel !! How could he not know he wasn’t replaced??!! AMNESIA MY FOOT
@pishti52 He claims he does not rember, the the scumbag Durbin comes to his defense saying it is possible to not be notified when a complaint is filed. Which is it, he forgot or he wasn't notified?
Kennedy's staff is awesome!! Deep diving into truths!!!!! ❤❤❤
Kenny wants Holly at someone but he won't talk about the inside trading they were doing these people sit up there like God and be breaking the law of this country all the time and don't go to jail for there crimes look at Rand Paul and his wife inside trading and knows going to jail and I'm 67 years old I don't trust none of on both sides they have been there for years and the country still broke down and they just started fix things after 50 years everything broke in this country my opinion
Love Senator Kennedy . I could listen to him all day long. He makes so much common sense
He is a bull dog for the truth.
He sounds like an idiot and got swatted down 😂
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
yea but who cares??.. he akways sounds all tough & funny, with his sarcastic metaphors, but the truth of the matter is nothing ever gets done. And nobody on the left ever has to suffer any consequences. So all of this show is being funded by taxpayers for nothing
Lying under oath should come with an automatic suspension of all duties, pay, and asset freeze until a court of law determines a sentence with a minimum of 10 years.
Love Senator John Kennedy. He tells it like it is.
Lionheart John Kennedy, Get em, Senator!
John Kennedy doesn’t ask a question that he doesn’t already have the answer to. A great speaker and thinker
he's a great lawyer doing things lawyers would be reprimanded for in court.
He’s like Columbo
@@miles6910 Such as..?
@@Exxeron-ob3tv leading/argumentative questions. badgering. questions asked and answered. he's not asking questions to get answers, he's asking questions to get sound bites.
@@miles6910 You feel the same about those practices when the other side uses them?
If you are taken off a case but you don't notice?
Durbin should be termed out. Term limits please!
Don’t pay him with TN tax dollars!
Get rid of durbin
He had TN flag removed because he loves TN .
@@jameshayden3952Ok why not just say that? LOL I hope you’re trolling because it doesn’t make any damn sense. I’m a Tennesseean, and my husband & I PROUDLY display our state’s flag on our property!!
@@jacks1bonnielass When you gonna do something about McConnell?
Kennedy is a beast.
Love that guy.
Amen
He voted to send Ukraine our tax dollars. Did you know that, or do you also support proxy wars and money laundering?
Yep the best proud from Louisiana
WITH THE BRAIN OF A BEAST
A real lion of a man...all roar. No bite.
"Then you believe Elvis is alive and running a small bait stand on Lake Erie" LOL! Mr. Kennedy is awesome!
I guess lying under oath is no big deal anymore. Justice for thee but not for me!!!
Senator Kennedy, you should be a Supreme Court Judge! So far your judgement has been perfect. I wish we had a couple hundred more like you sir.
BUT HE'S A HILLBILLY
@@omegapointil5741 So he knows how to shoot too!
He should be in a retirement home.
@@omegapointil5741 He is from the hills of Louisiana?
At least he is intelligent.
@@CalebTraskof the Senators, there are 8 republicans and 17 democrats who are all older than Senator Kennedy. He’s not even in the oldest 25% lol
these nominees are terrible choices for our Federal judiciary
But they're perfect choices for a corrupt oligarchy.
They're chosen on purpose.
This guy is a nominee for a position as a federal judge.That is why this country and the entire judicial system is a complete wreck and needs to be overhauled as soon as possible.He committed perjury and should be prosecuted not nominated to a federal position of power.Unbelievable and shameful possibilities.Wtf
I'm sick of lair being defended, and those pointing at them with the truth in their hands, are the "wrong" ones. It is pathetic.
This is why our judicial system is trash, this guy not only shouldn't be on the federal bench. He shouldn't beva judge at all. There needs to be repercussions for getting overturned at scotus or being removed from case.
More political theater. Nobody is ever held accountable for anything in DC.
Absolutely. Just makes good TV
Didn't he say he doesn't remember the case? Then goes on to tell about a written agreement... bussssted 😂😂😂
Not giving straight answers should immediately disqualify you
I am So Glad Senator Kennedy speaks for us!
John Kennedy is a good ole boy. I live in South Louisiana and am proud to have him representing us. As a bonus, he is hilarious. He is also, and more importantly, an honest man who is not afraid to call anyone out
Obviously so…admire his gut
You are lucky to have a guy like him. We all are actually
Proud to call him my Senator
between the two people speaking in this video, one is compelled to tell the truth and the other cannot be held liable in any way for he says. oh, unless he called a fellow senator a liar -- then he'd be reprimanded.
What is your opinion of Speaker Johnson being from his home state ?
Restore the rule of law
Hold him in contempt for perjury
He needs to be made in an example of
Those at the levers of power are bound by the law as are the citizens
I watch a ton of these, and not once have I ever heard that the person being grilled has been removed from their office, fined, jailed, etc. Why are we wasting our time having these hearings, if there is never an outcome? If it is to make the public aware of these people it is again a waste of time because the only place you will ever see it is on RUclips. The entire country needs to see these interrogations so that these people can be served justice, or at the very least, not be voted back into office!
Actually he's been nominated for a judicial position here.
I have said it before Compshooter54, every day all these Republicans members “ EVERYDAY” should speak to the daily media and expose these fools on what they say and believe! Get this out to the media, not just RUclips!
well this is about a confirmation not removal
These hearings are vital enough. We hear intelligent people expose intelligent arguments to unmask the whole network of saboteurs. Revolutions need to play the game to give the illusion that Foes get away in all impunity but then, the Hammer falls for good when parasites expect it the less.
Senator Kennedy exposes all the crooks in broad light so that they are recognized in broad light when shopping or hiring a luxury home or asking a loan. That is how transparence works. YT is not the universal panacea but all these hearings serve the purpose to render justice in strange ways: Once you see the crooks you never forget them.
Believe me it is better than European Justice where No Judge ever speaks like Senator Kennedy who informs Americans like he was chatting with them in person. YT makes that possible. OK Ego is not yet abolished in the Senate but compared to Russia or Iran or China, John Kennedy shows True America the one Ahead not Retarded.
I am this naive believing in America but not allowed to Enter America. Blind Love they call it.
It's to expose these people seeking office so people will tell their politicians to not vote them in. There are not criminal hearings.
Where does the WH find these people
In the darkest of sewers
Friends.
Looks like they emptied mental asylums…
Just a quick note that all 3 of the above can still be true.
George Soros picks
What a jerk
This Judicial Nomenee whose integrity is in question should not be considered at all. Integrity is everything!
"You believe Elvis is alive and running a small bait stand on Lake Erie." Officially the best quote I have ever heard.
Great line.
Actually, it's on the Tombigbee Waterway
I have been there. When you buy a worm he says "THANK YOU VERY MUCH"
@@nomadmarauder-dw9re And it's actually a medium-sized bait shop, by local standards. Oh they all love to keep their little town secret so much, that not one of thousands of area residents has ever blurted out the truth. Not for fame, money, notoriety- not for anything or nothing!
If there was a serious complaint and removal from a case, how could you NOT know?
I wasn't there but, I feel so embarrassed and ashamed that I can't describe it. Lord have mercy on our Nation...
I wasn't there but, I feel so embarrassed and ashamed that no words can describe it. Lord have mercy on our Nation...
Kennedy always brings the receipts.
"Elvis is alive and working a small bait store on the shore of lake Erie." Hot damn.🤣
Be careful of those "blue" suede shoes...
"Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?" Had me rolling.
@@EarthAltar Yeah that one hung there like grandmas air biscuit. The room didn't know where it was going. lol
He's used that line before! Good one!
They all start to studder when asked that question
I love Sen Kennedy 💕💕
Isn't lying under oath considered perjury? Yet nothing will to this guy.
😂 Had me laughing out loud Mr. Kennedy! The truth will set you free! 😅
He didn't know there was a complaint but he was kicked off the case. Riiiggghhhttt
If he dismiss the state flag, he would dismiss the american lag. Its a sign of radical judge
I love how Durbin swoops in to save this lying, spineless fool. Please, I beg every voter to do your research on individual candidates and to drain the swamp. Also, please vote locally. Those people affect your lives as much or more than those who meet in the House and Senate.
How can you get removed from the case and "not be notified" about a complaint.
Trump 2024
Purgury........ Different laws for different people! I would be in jail by now!
Attorney here….. this fella looks precisely like an attorney that would lie for prosecutor points
Just Vote No . I can't believe the Chairman comes in to Bail him out . But wait look who I'm talking about .
Why IS he not he chairman.
EXACTLY.....one LIAR to save another LIAR
When they know that everyone will vote no to them making more money or gaining more power, they try to change the meaning of "no," to "yes."
The Chairman is an activist himself.
It is so upsetting to watch the constant 2 tiers of justice.
It is not possible that he was removed from the case, and never knew about the complaint. Ridiculous.
👆👆👆👆
THIS!!!!
They take ," Don't Recall," to a whole new Biblical level from the pit of 🔥
When these people are caught lieing, why are they not held in contempt of court?
Wow! How did that nominee even get this far? Why wasn’t he fired?
If every politician was like John Kennedy this would be a great country.
He was notified of the complaint and he was removed from the case, he flat out lied under oath
Exactly. And he doesn't remember that? 🤪🙄
Question: How can he not know a complaint was filed if he was kicked off the case for lying?
I couldnt sleep at night being like these people Especially not telling truth to Senate Kenndy
Look at the smug people behind this man!
That is what I saw also. Typical liberals!
We have plenty of lying judges. We need less of these type.
Gotta love Senator Kennedy!!! He takes no BS
When is Hawley going to be held accountable for his part in the insurrection?
Appears pathological
Senator Kennedy, this Tennessean is ashamed of that lying man. I'd just as soon he not tell anyone about being from Tennessee. God bless you Senator Kennedy ✝️🇺🇸
So either he's a liar, or incompetent. Either way, no confirmation for you.
I was bent over in Tenn,i am corrupt in Tenn,and i will continue to be UNETHICAL AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AS I WANT
Taxpayers don't have any gov't.
Thank you Forbes for reporting these committee avtivities. America needs to hear the truth.
Where do they find these people for public office. Our whole Justice system is trash.
