The gentleman from Louisiana is an expert at trapping rats.
He is suppose to be representing his constituents
If he is good why are there so many rats in his party
@rosarodriguez8122 i suppose there are no rats in the democratic party right
@rosarodriguez8122 I mean you do realize he has no control of who gets elected
@rosarodriguez8122 He's not a Democrat!
Crazy about Kennedy . He does not mince words😮❤
GRIZZLY BEAR part
Love Kennedy❤️
any moment Sen. Kennedy makes an appearance.. his every word makes every bit of sense.
And it all falls on deaf ears. Nothing changes.
im not a fan of having a shaky old man in power, he is one if not the only exception to that.
Clearly a Champion of the rights and freedoms of the Honorable Citizens of America-has spoken.
Yea and we get some great clips of ol' Foghorn confusing people and jack shit ever happens to anyone. Oh dear, he called someone "butthead" for committing crimes. Awesome and effective.
He doesn’t beat around the bush. He lays it out loud and simple! ❤
Our Government agencies are completely OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!! This is an embarrassment from the Top down!!!!
Or like Potato Joe says, "from the middle out and the bottom up."-FJB
These are presidential appointed bureaucrats. Cleaning the swamp is a very big job.
Why has nothing been done, why haven’t they been fired with no benefits.
They have democrat slime coating, nothing sticks to them.
It's the big "D" card, it even trumps the race card.......
Answer, Democrats
Elites remember the 2 tier justice system it's good to be the king
Because it's a show and we're the audience.
Senator Kennedy: You are the best. There is no more Honor. This fella should resign.
"If it weren't for the double standards, there wouldn't be any standards at all ."
NOW if the rest of the conservatives would get behind him and DO SOMETHING!!!!
Amazing! Sen. Kennedy goes straight for the jugular- and quite rightly so. It's refreshing to listen to him.
Kennedy the main problem 😭
What else is refreshing is... for a witness to actually give a series of "Yes & No" answers. I found that to be shocking. lol
@@DuaneK-us2pvyeah someone calling people out for doing a horrible job is not what the government needs. They people to look the other way and pretend it never happened. Too bad he is an honest man with integrity.
@@DuaneK-us2pvbegone troll
@@martinclarke2903actually that is precisely what the government needs to do. We have way too many bureaucrats exactly like this bozo
When Kennedy starts chewing on you, it's time to quit and leave.
Sadly, Until The Corrupt Garland D.O.J. is Completely Dismantled, Nothing Will Change!
I agree but he does need to know that bigfoot really exists.

Love John Kennedy!
What's not to love this guy is great!
@@dianawatton7570wait till they turn the few stones over he has stepped on….Anybody remember where the Kennedy roots emanated from….crime and corruption back in the 30’s. Read our history books. “Fish rot from the head ‘of the family’.
why? Is he your rep? He's not an actor.......or is he??
@@GuitarZombiepretty sure all the actors right now are pretending to be women
@@GuitarZombie
He is a scary character to me. Possessing degrees from Vanderbilt University, University of Virginia and Oxford University, he performs as a simpleton country boy. WHY?!! HE HAS GOT TO BE CRAZY! His treatment of all witnesses is condescending and, at the same time, sounds as if he is intellectually impaired. THE GOP IS ALREADY USELESS! Is he SAVING that friggin' education for a better job? I don't get it!!
This guy sits here and thinks he's doing just fine. He should be completely red-faced. All of them are despicable.
Welcome to the Democrat Party
As jews they operate according to their talmudic perscription, which is the anthesys of Christianity.
@@knerduno5942
Welcome to the (both) party dialectic.
@@LBRS2nd The Democrat party is in lockstep for destroying your rights and the country. The Republicans do have issues with RINOs who needs to be voted out.
They have no souls
"a fish rots from the head down" 🤣🤣 kennedy insulting him is epic
I wonder if that grizzly bear gal squirmed a lil when he used the stinky fish analogy and the hairy sasquatch question
@@SaulTeeMeatwhat?
My favorite is “like asking Alec Baldwin to give a gun safety course” 😂🤣
@@theemperorofalcoholics6336 agree, that comment made no sense at all.
@@mchrysogelos7623 oh stop it! We all know 'smells like fish taste like chicken' saying. And #2, the FDIC weirdo said she was "grizzly" down there and then they talking about a hairy monster named BigFoot. Someone put they foot in their
Senator Kennedy is absolutely the conservative Lion of the Senate…however, he doesn’t rule by force or threat of force! He battles 100% by intellect which is why he is the most important and sober leader in our nation! The man should be an American President!!
He's too old
@@michaelasay8587
He is only 72 years of age,& sharp as a laser beam. Don’t
underestimate SenatorJohn
Kennedy‼️
Yes!!!
I don't understand why Americans have to choose between 2 very old men while there are so many brilliant minds out there.
@@jjing6548because sometimes it takes a lifetime to win enough hearts and acquire enough wisdom to actually to win 51 percent of the American voters.. and let's not mistake brilliance and wisdom as being the same. There's a whole lot of really smart and brilliant people out there that have absolutely no common sense or wisdom.. and most of the really wise people in the world not just the United States became Wise by being a moron when they were young and learn from their mistakes. And the really wise people surround themselves with brilliant young people. It's really complicated but in a nutshell that's why we have two old men to pick from. But honestly Joe Biden shouldn't even have been a nominee to begin with . He has dementia.
We love Mr. Kennedy❤❤
Bigfoot can't believe in Congress either.
Yes... Bigfoot is a guy in a Bigfoot costume..BTW
@carrie0123210 Not according to the 100,000's of eyewitnesses that have their lives completely changed after seeing one.
Big Foot saw me in the forest once, but no one believed him.
Bla Bla Bla nothing happens to any of these disgusting guys. Once you're in washington nothing can get you out that's the problem, no accountability.
John Kennedy, you really rock.
Gruenberg's supervisor should be dismissed too. And WITHOUT compensation or ❤benefits.
Gruenberg IS The Supervisor of The FDIC!
I have read the report senator but I don't care.
No one will do anything about it, so I will continue as before.
All should support this line of questioning 👏Thank you Senator
Sherrod brown is an absolute embarrassment to ohio
To the human race!
...and this bruddah is still in this position?! Embarrassing and pathetic!
We need senator Kennedy in office to hold public employees accountable as there are very few others in Washington willing to do so.
but the rest of the conservatives do nothing; we CAN'T expect anything from the Dim party.
Was he paid salary today? Fire him, withhold pension. Make him sue government.
He will drown in legal fees
'If you fail at your job, you get fired. If you fail in government, you get more money.' jkennedy
Senator John Kennedy is a National Treasure. May God grant Senator Kennedy a long life, full of happiness and joy. I pray he is with the American people through the end of time. I salute him. He is a man of graciousness, bravery and takes integrity to a higher level than before seen. God bless America. America bless God.
God is about finished with America cause they have forgotten Him. Bless his pea picking ❤️. Surely goodness and mercy will follow him all the days of his life.
Leave the Bigfoot alone.
Bigfoot are real, many have seen them. Anyone ever see a honest government official?
I'll bet he told his colleagues "i almost said yes to the bigfoot question... but i remembered we thought of her as a grizzly furry bear." I wonder if that gal is as grizzled as ever, or polished up.
John Kennedy for VP!
Every time its Kennedy’s turn to speak, you know its gonna get real fast!
Ooh, asking Baldwin to conduct a gun safety course. That cuts so deep.😮
It's like asking Joe Biden to give advice on how to maintain high mental acuity!😂😂😂
With the current state of the FDIC, now is a smart time to consider investing up to $300,000 in digital stocks and other inflation/recession proof systems. Secure your funds and potentially maximize your returns in a stable financial environment.
Made my first large buy of bitcoin in 2022 and have literally been buying quarterly since then. This is why one must consult a true market expert before making decisions.
I do agree, Investing has gotten difficult especially after pandemic, hence why I decided to use the expertise of an advisor, my spouse kicked against the idea initially, but oh well guess who's best buddies with our advisor now hehehe.
Thanks for replying! 😊 I'm interested in trying this. Who's your advisor, and how can I contact them? 📞
The popular lady Melissa Jean Talingdan comes to mind. You'd find her basic info. on the web to set up appointment as she offers free consultations.
Thank you for sharing, I must say, Melissa appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call.
Senator Kennedy brings me so much joy.. his line of questioning is 10x more amusing than movies titled as comedies. his closing comments are priceless!
First of all it's probably rampant in every department, and second absolutely nothing will be done about it
Good enough! Thanks Kennedy!
JOHN Kennedy is a good man and speaks his mind.
Definitely calls a spade a spade, why is there not more like this man?
SEN. J KENNEDY...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....
Well at least unlike others this guy has the balls to answer and admit wrongdoings , now do the right thing buddy .
He thinks he can clean the FDIC?? Heck, he can't even clean his own house! What's he doing to clean ANYTHING?
I would bet dimes to Dollar the reason this chairman did not do anything is that he probably does have a few skeletons in his closet also.
CHRIST JESUS IS OUR STANDARD AND THE CONSTITUTION OUR WAY OF LIFE.
FJB
I don't think he cares, he certainly doesn't look like he cares since nothing will happen.
Apparently the FDIC has to much time nothing to do why do we need them
Senator Kennedy is my fav senator! He cares about America and Americans and our rights! He is amazing and an example of how our gov should be helping its citizens. God bless you Senator!
Hold this people accountable and convict them.
That 'sorry' was so insincere. Just like everyone in the Biden administration.
JK seems to be a lone warrior on ethics and decency.
I said it many time i so wish we had Mr Kennedy in Great Britain is just pure gold.🇬🇧
Ok, he read the report!!!
What did he do to fix the situation????
A full live 2 hour Presidential Debate...nothing more, nothing less.
Dear senator Kennedy i watch you all the time.your BRILLIANT how you put these so called important people who are in jobs of important positions. That you show us they are dangerously incompetent. Thankyou sir.from a BRITISH PENSIONER .WE NEED YOU HERE.❤❤❤❤
Why does this guy still have a job
We need to clone this senator Kennedy, he is just the best!!
John Kennedy left that room silent. But this is America and its so sad. Just depressing
Senator Kennedy is an Icon and a sweetheart. He says it like it is.
And for that man to show up to this hearing instead of resigning tells a lot about his person. He is TRASH.
No one gets fired in Washington DC.
This senator is a national treasure
Thanks for your cooperation answering those questions sir
Why does he still have his job???
🤗 YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE HIM!!!
Greatest kennedy ever!!!!
Remind him also that an apology is worthless unless accompanied by contrition and a real change of behavior.
Why in the hell do I put up with this shit? Paying politicians to ask questions of people that I pay with my taxes is a damn joke and it needs to stop. 💩🤡💩
My boy in the back with the Clark Kent glasses on is struggling like a mofo! When I saw him doing a lot of blinking, I was like, "Bro! I feel you!"
FDIC chairman for 10 years and he's done nothing
John Kennedy should be Trumps VP, he is great
"Do you realize you are a total failure at your job?".. answer... "I have read the report, Senator".
Hold them all accountable! Hold Joe Biden accountable!
Any American, especially a federal employee, should be able to recite the Pledge. So I hope the government employee asked, was able too.
No. The Pledge of Allegiance is not a mandatory part of government service.
Ambulance chaser Sherrod Brown
"Lickspittle"😅😂
Haven't heard that in years.
Senator Kennedy is one of the best, if not the best, member of Congress. Consistent, honest, and eloquent. Model public servant.
I do commend Gruenberg for responding and not deflecting.
Guess they've been putting the F in the FDIC 🍿👀
Excellent use of "lickspittle."
👏👏
What is going on there at the FDIC.
They don't have enough money to reimburse everyone when the house of cards falls.
How long has this been going on - the song. 1666-2024 so far.
Senator Kennedy is the best!
Let’s get rid of the FDIC! this is awful!this is not the purpose of this organization.
Do you REALLY care about THE DASTARDLY DEEDS OF THE FDIC?
What about more serious wrongdoing that is causing deaths of unsuspecting Americans from Medicare Advantage Fraud? What about the dramatic increase in Fraud by filthy rich corporations stealing the income of Americans since the 2017 "faux" law passed called the 2017 Tax Cuts AND JOBS? Act that produced a law that has NO REFERENCE TO JOB CREATION, but which has given gratuitous income tax payment waivers to 83% of major corporations, now paying little to no income taxes. In 2023, FedEx paid a 1% tax bracket, WHILE OUR TAXATION RISES? How sre they funding the running of our government? Stealing from our Combined Social Security and Medicare Trust? What about your high cost of groceries NOT BEING ÐUE TO INFLATION and being caused by the allowance of mergers of major grocery companies with blocking of Antitrust enforcement by Trump's administration of regulation of MONOPOLIES. The high cost of groceries is due to the mergers of mega corporations to a total of ONLY FOUR COMPANIES IN THE U.S. CONTROLLING 80% OF YOUR GROCERY PURCHASES...AND THEY HAVE LITTLE PRICE COMPETITION.
So, thank God! we cracked down on one man at the FDIC and his BS, making a fool out of ... you pick .... asking the probing investigative questions of Bigfoot and Elvis' death!! What brilliant statesmanship shown by the Senate with THE CAUSE OF AMERICAN TRAGEDY sitting in a criminal trial for prosecution for his decades of crime and honored by Congressional visitors dressed alike in matching costumes as if attending a fraternity party. The GOP is a disaster. I am just sorry. There is no comparison!
unfortunately he states that he has read the reports, no other department heads ever know anything 🇱🇷🤨🇱🇷
🇬🇧👋 The swamp is so massive & deep.. never stop till the truth about everything comes out.. EVERYTHING
Senator Kennedy is the best of them all.
This isnt a hearing, it is just a show. End immunity. Make these committees have some worth isntead of just a song and a dance.
God bless you senator Kennedy
He turned around to apologize like a puppet. He should resign from the FDIC and stay away from anything remotely leadership based when considering his next occupation.
The most heartfelt apology I have ever heard.
TOO LONG IN THE JOB
Malignant narcissism is now twisted. PURE EVIL
Big Government at work .
"SEANTE ... COMITTEE ... OVERISGHT"?
No editors at Forbes?
The young man with glasses should be a world poker player. 😂. Stone cold no emotions at all, barely moves.
The person that leads the FDIC wit all its issues says he can clean it up. LOL, what kind of arrogance and stupidity is that?
I like this guy. I'm from the UK, and there's not many you can trust. But I like watching videos of him.
What about Nigel Farage
His apology was real sincere
I think
As an American, I am beyond seriously concerned.
Submit another bill? just get it together! And get it together NOW!
Beyond disgusted !
Does NOBODY go to jail in Washington? Blatant abuse of POWER! This is the USA not Guatemala.
These hearings always prove guilt, but everyone walks out the door to a $200 steak dinner on the USA dime!
All, I can't even watch this any longer.
That Alec Baldwin analogy is hilariously scathing.
Senator Kennedy, I am so thankful for you!
I get my popcorn ready before I settle in to watch Senator Kennedy take the mic…not only whip smart and full of common sense, but damned entertaining too! 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻❤️
Who let Kip from Napoleon Dynamite in there?
I absolutely love this Senator Kennedy! He makes me laugh in a good was. He is adorable!
We, the People, have elected politicians who apparently are devoid of basic moral standards. There are too few like Kennedy and too many who keep nominating others like themselves. The only job they could get is in government as compensation for a donation and their vote.
I Love this Senator! "You fixing this agency is like asking Alex Baldwin to conduct a course on gun safety " I'm Rolling On The Floor Laughing My F'in A$$ Off! 🤣🤣🤣 we need more Senators like him. God Bless this man.
